Mark your calendar – ATop celebrates Adam’s birthday on January 29, 2013[/color][/size]
1.15.13 by Q3

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a party thread – I mean a real party thread. Well get ready. Cause on January 29, 2013, we’re going to have the biggest and best one ever to celebrate Adam’s birthday! Stay tuned for details. Get your dancing shoes ready. Get your Adam music, GIFs, photos and well anything else you can imagine ready.

And if you are interested in helping with the festivities, send me a PM.


Give the Gift of Music to Celebrate Adam’s 31st Birthday[/size][/color]
Thanks to Momtomany who inspired me. I have chosen her ATop AVI to grace the DonorsChoose.org page.

I have set up a Giving Page at DonorsChoose.org to celebrate Adam's 31st birthday and to help support low-income classrooms on DonorsChoose.org. And I'm inviting you to help support it! Do not worry if you cannot afford to give money, because this will be a fan community gift.

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity connecting individuals, like you, to classrooms in need. The average public school teacher spends $500 - $700 on classroom supplies out of his/her own pocket, and students still go without critical supplies they need to learn. So this website is great, because teachers can post requests, like books, microscopes, art supplies, even field trips to the zoo, and you can help fund them.

You can visit this Giving Page, www.donorschoose.org/taf-gp/276504, to make a donation. Thanks in advance for your support!

Let’s make his 31st Birthday ROCK!!

1.16.13 by Q3

Inspired by the post from Avari 1.15.13:


And it gave me an idea – when you put together all the things that Adam has inspired us to do, it is a glittery mosaic. I am going to create a digital mosaic for Adam’s birthday composed of the DonorsChoose.org projects members support plus other actions Members do to celebrate his 31st birthday. So check out the “Adam's 31st Birthday Digital Mosaic Project” here: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=daily&action=display&thread=1319

• If you choose to donate to DonorsChoose.org I will include every project that we contribute.

• If you donate or support a local cause, post about it and I will include. It would be very helpful to include a photo.

• Be creative. You can do anything that is for someone else. Someone in my office did a random act of kindness for all or our departments. He kicked off the New Year by cleaning out 9 refrigerators all across the college. (Can you imagine how bad the refrigerators might be in University departments?) It was simple, useful and a delightful surprise. If you do something that is time, figure out the value of your time and include that in your post. Time is also currency.

The whole idea is to take an action that will make a difference -- and then put them all together and make that our gift for his birthday!

My plan is to load this digital mosaic onto a CD and package it in a special way. If you have any ideal on how to package it, post it in the thread. We just need to keep it mailable so I can send it to him. I will set it up so we can also Tweet him a link.

Adam Lambert, "Smash," "Wallflower" among GLAAD award nominees
NEW YORK | Wed Jan 16, 2013 11:22am EST
(Reuters) - Television shows "The New Normal" and "Smash," animated film "ParaNorman," and "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert were among nominees on Wednesday for the GLAAD Media Awards.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which monitors media depiction of gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender people, announced more than 150 nominees for its 24th annual awards in categories ranging from film and theater to journalism and music.
"ParaNorman," an Oscar nominee for best animated feature, was nominated by GLAAD for outstanding film in wide release, along with "Cloud Atlas," which features several heroic gay characters, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and "Your Sister's Sister."

The first PG-rated animated film to be nominated by GLAAD, "ParaNorman" tells the story of a New England boy who can seemingly speak with the dead, and is bullied and ostracized because of his ability.

Best documentary Oscar nominee "How to Survive a Plague," about 1980s AIDS activists, was cited by GLAAD in its documentary category, along with "Vito," which looks at the life of film historian and gay activist Vito Russo, who was one of GLAAD's founding members.
Nominated television dramas also included "Grey's Anatomy," "True Blood," "Degrassi" and "The L.A. Complex."

Musicians included Frank Ocean, Rufus Wainwright and Lambert, as well as groups Gossip and Scissor Sisters. Wainwright and Lambert are openly gay, while Ocean made headlines last year as one of the first hip-hop singers to come out.

Besides "The New Normal," about two gay men adopting a baby, the comedy series nominees included "Glee," "Go On," "Happy Endings" and "Modern Family."

"This year's nominees enlighten and entertain, but also reflect a new American landscape where a growing majority accept and value their LGBT family, colleagues and friends," said GLAAD president Herndon Graddick in a statement.

"Now, more than ever," Graddick added, "viewers not only accept gay and transgender plot lines, they expect them."
Newer categories will honor comic books, blogs and multimedia digital journalism.

The Boston Globe and the Baltimore Sun were among nominees for overall newspaper coverage, while The New Yorker and People were included as magazine nominees.

The awards will be presented at a series of galas in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco from March through May.

GLAAD was founded more than 25 years ago to foster positive images of the lives of gay people in the wake of sensational and often inaccurate media reporting on AIDS and other topics.
