Really great stuff Lal!
I suppose no matter what I'm drawing, there will always be some sort of question in my mind about it. A work of art (even cartoon art) is never really finished; it is abandoned.
_ Brooke McEldowney,
Haha, LAL, you're here for 5 seconds, and you're already getting popular. You're just too cool for me !

Popular perceptions of emerging influences on mortality and longevity in Bangladesh and West Bengal (HTML)
Amin,Sajeda; Basu,Alaka Malwade
Population Studies 58(3): 357-364
Publication date: 2004
Relatively little is known about how environmental and pathological threats to human survival and longevity are perceived by the public. In this study in rural Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, which used individual interviews and focus-group discussions to investigate the changing costs of and motivations for reproduction, respondents were questioned about their perceptions of changes in mortality. The findings show that, while child mortality levels are perceived to have fallen dramatically in recent times, the health and survival prospects of the middle aged and the elderly are seen to have been better in the past. The perceived decline in adult health is attributed to environmental deterioration and lifestyle changes accompanying modernization. This paper explores people's reasons for this unexpected worldview. References to pesticides and chemical fertilizers as causes of death abound in their explanations and are seen to be associated with unhealthy agricultural practices and impiety.

On Wednesday they added a bunch of fake shows and movies to their streaming catalog, all of which were featured in the first three seasons of the show. Titles like "Girls with Low Self Esteem: Newport Beach" which guest star Zach Braff presented on the show, George Micheal's favorite piece of European cinema "Les Cousins Dangereux," and the Judge Reinhold-starring courtroom series "Mock Trial With J. Reinhold" are now all up as links on the site, although sadly they all link back to the "Arrested Development" page.
Sure it would have been great to be able to watch titles like "Boyfights," "Caged Wisdon: Musings From Prison," "Families With Low Self Esteem," "Wrench," "Scandalmakers," "Ready, Aim … Marry Me!," and "World's Worst Drivers" for real, but we're happy enough with reminders like this about just how great the series was. So great job, Netflix, way to do viral marketing the right way! Check out the synopses and artwork below. [Splitsider via /Film]
Girls with Low Self Esteem: Newport Beach
Sunshine and self-esteem issues collide as drunken, scantily-clad co-eds with low self-worth and absolutely no shame hit Spring Break in Southern California. It's a wild, weekend adventure that you'll never forget … but they'll wish they could.
Families with Low Self Esteem
Tobias Funke, the semi-renowned Freudian analyst/therapist and former chief resident of psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, provides counseling to families deep in crisis in this deeply probing and emotionally uplifting series.
When faced with some of the toughest cases the mean streets of Los Angeles has to offer, by-the-books detective Frank Wrench realizes he needs to loosen up, break some rules and maybe even throw out the book entirely, in order to get tough on crime.
Les Cousins Dangereux
To escape the scorn of their dissaproving families, two cousins flee to a sleepy, provincial town in France but are forced to hide their incestuous affair from the prying eyes of local villagers in this awkward tale of forbidden romance.
No stone goes unturned and privacy means nothing in this reality series where sordid secrets and ugly truths come to light. Go behind the scenes of today's tabloid headlines with re-enactments of real-life incriminating scandals.
Ready, Aim… Marry Me!
After an acrimonious parting of ways with fellow Nazi hunter, Red McGibbon, Bullet shows he's nobody's sidekick by flying solo in search of comedic adventures. But along the way he discovers romance in the arms of a sassy socialite.
Mock Trial with J. Reinhold
All rise for actor Judge Reinhold as he presides over this reality courtroom/variety series, featuring music by American Idol sensation William Hung and his band, Hung Jury, as they take real families and put them through mock trials.
Caged Wisdom: Musings from Prison
Based on his book, "Musings From Prison," George Bluth presents the latest collection from his ongoing series of life lessons and motivational discourses on the Jewish faith, all while incarcerated at the Orange County Prison.
Sibling rivalry is taken to the extreme as brothers battle it out in this compilation of adolescent boyfights featuring "A Day in the Life of American Boys," A Boyfights Cookout," "Backseat Boyfights" and "I Don't Want to Go to Bed."
World's Worst Drivers
Classic crashes, funny fender-benders and stupid sideswipes are on all display in this series that tracks down the world's most terrible drivers on (and off) the road. There is nowhere to hide from these highway horrors.

- Description
La Stanza dello Scirocco by Mario Trimarchi for Alessi . Like a stack of playing cards tumbling to the ground. " The upshot is a collection of geometrically irregular items made up of small splinters of various sizes, interlaced in an unstable balance. I came up with the idea that "La stanza dello scirocco" could be recounted through the story of drawings done by hand and through images of shadows, and that we could then ask everyone to exert themselves ever so slightly and make a small input with their own imaginations."

I guess ticked off isn't really what I am. I'm just sort of...disappointed? I went to our local Costco (for those not familiar, it's a big warehouse store where you can buy things in bulk) and the parking lot was full. I park a goodly distance away from the front doors and as I'm walking in, there is a mother with small children unloading her cart. It's hot and I stop and tell her I will wait for her to finish unloading and I would take her cart for her. (she was almost done or I would have offered to help her do that too.) She was thrilled. I mean, it wasn't a huge hike or anything--but a bit of a walk since we were further out. I know how it is having little kids and I'm sure she was just ready to go. So, I take her cart with lots of thank yous and I go shop.
Then, I come out, load my car and a young woman is walking by. I start wheeling my cart a little ahead of her back up to the store front. We walk in-step all the way. I put my cart in the line of carts and she comes up behind me and grabs my cart. I'm thinking, "Really?" You couldn't have done a random act of kindness and taken the cart from me when we were a mile out in the parking lot?
I encourage you all to take someone's cart for them. You never know when someone's back is screaming at them and a few less steps would mean a lot.
After months of agonizing over whether to spend the money on a huge privacy fence or a line of evergreens to help screen the monstrosity of a dental building they built right behind our house (never assume an open field will stay an open field...), we finally decided on trees, searched for just the right type, found the place to buy them, called Digger's Hotline...and came home to find not one, not two, but FIVE lines (cable, phone, electric) running right down the property line where we planned to have the trees planted. I am so bummed. Don't know whether the trees can be squeezed in between them...will find out in a couple of days.
I am ticked off because my partner has trouble saying no and now will be working late tonight
I am ticked off today because after doing loads of work on our explorer recently I think the insurance company is going to total it. (Hubby got hit on Wednesday. He is ok) We've recently done shocks front and back,( monroe sensa trac load adjusting nightmare with the "spring" shocks in back) brakes front and back, plus rotors, an alternator, new belt for the compressor, spark plugs, & wires, sway bar and bushings. It just seems like murphy's law that you do all this work and then this happens!! And from what I read keeping it would not be an option in Ohio, as you have to jump through hoops to get a salvage sticker and what the insurance is willing to pay out is severely reduced. ( would it even be enough to fix it???? the entire front passenger tire and wheel well are history) OK that's my grrr of the week!!
Know what you mean with the Murphy's Law, but glad to hear he's okay.

Sometimes you just have to put your foot down. The Broncos did that in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Buccaneers.
Don't get me wrong. I love watching shootouts. But there is something to be said for winning a defensive struggle. The Broncos showed they could do that.
I won't pretend the Buccaneers have an elite offense. The fact remains, however, that they were averaging 350.2 yards per game entering Sunday's game. They had only 307 against the Broncos.
They were also averaging 22.8 points per game before Sunday. They had just over half that against the Broncos.
The Bucs had allowed just four sacks in the first four games and none in the two games leading up to Sunday's contest against the Broncos. Denver had three sacks in the 16-13 win.
For as much as the Broncos' defense struggled early in the season, it toughened up against the Buccaneers. In seven of their 11 possessions, the Buccaneers had the ball for under 2:30. Only four of their possessions netted 37 yards or more. The other seven drives netted nine yards or fewer.
Beyond the stats, the Broncos defense simply stood firm. It didn't get gashed. The tackling was better. The guys made plays when they needed to make them.
Perhaps most importantly, the Broncos showed they could be physical. They never let Bucs' running back Ernest Graham get going. They allowed 38 yards to Warrick Dunn on one play; the rest of the game he had 36 yards on 10 carries.
Broncos' cornerback Champ Bailey knocked Tampa Bay quarterback Brian Griese out of the game with a huge hit near the Bucs' goal line.
The Broncos defense played tough on Sunday. And so did the offense did. The Broncos knew how good the Buccaneers defense was and is. They knew points would be at a premium.
Yet when Denver had to have a drive, the Broncos delivered. In a 6-6 game in the third quarter, they took advantage of great field position and Cutler found Brandon Stokley on a 10 yard touchdown pass to take the lead for good.
On their next possession, the Broncos went 62 yards in 14 plays, took 6:17 off the clock before Matt Prater hit a 27 yard field goal. Denver converted three third down situations before turning to Prater. The lead was 16-6 and with the defense playing as well as it was, the Broncos were in good shape.
The Broncos still have plenty of work to do. But so do a lot of other teams. Through five games, only one team in the AFC has a better record than the Broncos, and that team is the 5-0 Tennessee Titans.
Moreover, only two other teams in the AFC are 4-1, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills. Most importantly, the Broncos again have a two-game lead over the San Diego Chargers in the AFC West.
It's never too early to watch the standings. It's never too early to be at or near the top of the conference. And it's never a bad thing to win a game because you were just plain tough.
One last note. Congratulations to Broncos' head coach Mike Shanahan. He became the seventeenth NFL head coach to record 150 wins. Outstanding.
What stood out for you in the Broncos win? I enjoy reading your comments. Thanks for reading and have a great week.

Missouri State Plan Committee Minutes
Statewide Database/Provisional Voting/Voter Identification Subcommittee
The initial meeting of the State Plan Committee Database/ Provisional Voting/Voter Identification Subcommittee was held at the Office of the Secretary of State, Jefferson City, Missouri, on Wednesday, February 26, 2003. Richard Struckhoff, Co-Chairman, called meeting to order. Roll call was done by Carol Bennett. Those in attendance were:
Co-Chairman Richard Struckhoff, Greene County Clerk
Co-Chairman Pat Conway, Buchanan County Clerk
David Welch, St. Louis County Election Board
Carol Bennett, Phelps County Clerk
Kelly Christopher, Livingston County Clerk
Glenn Nielsen, Libertarian Party
Janice Brand, Missouri Department of Health
Estil Fretwell, Missouri Farm Bureau
Mark (Thor) Hearne, Missouri Republican Party
Robert Honan, Governor's Council on Disability
Ruth Redel, Missouri Department of Revenue
John Sappington, Missouri Department of Revenue
Mary Ratliff, NAACP
Representatives of the Office of the Secretary of State in attendance:
Gayla Vandelicht, Co-Director of Elections
Pam Bax, Elections Division
Don Lloyd, IT Specialist
Welcome was given by Gayla Vandelicht who advised that the current statewide voter registration database is not in compliance with the requirements of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). She advised that HAVA sets forth a deadline of January 1, 2004 to have a statewide interactive database on line, unless a waiver is requested and granted which would extend this date to January 1, 2006. She stated that changes to Secretary of State's (SOS) Administrative Rules could address needed changes to voter identification and provisional balloting. Struckhoff stated that with such a large committee, it would be impossible to have full agreement on committee recommendations. Vandelicht recommended that if a consensus is not reached on any item, then all points of view should be given in the final report. The committee will produce an advisory report on all three areas. Vandelicht advised that Secretary Blunt will be reviewing all committee reports and compiling them into a statewide plan. She explained that the current statewide database is only a compilation of data sent from all counties, and that the counties have the most up to date lists. However, the new law requires that all election authorities be able to access the database to enter data on an expedited basis. Pat Conway stated that the bottom line is that local governments basically pay election costs. They are not paid by the Federal or State Governments (unless the State runs a special election), or by the political parties. The ultimate costs for these changes will end up with local governments, thus some of the discussion from the local side will involve cost. Local government is limited in expenses until the degree of Federal funding is really known. Struckhoff encouraged those present to attend all of the public hearings possible.
The discussion then turned to provisional voting requirements. Struckhoff advised that Missouri is ahead on this issue because provisional balloting has already been passed into law. Discussion was held regarding what a monumental change this was for all election workers. Emphasis was given to election judge training. Struckhoff cited the fact that this balloting is only allowed in Federal and Statewide elections, causing more confusion for election workers. Some election authorities would prefer for this option to be made available for all elections. Vandelicht cited Section 302 of the Federal law. She stated that Federal law requires that almost anyone who walks in and says they are registered to vote be given a ballot. Provisional ballots cast by a voter in the wrong polling place shall not be counted in accordance with Federal law. Also, provisional ballots voted after the polls close shall be kept separate from other provisional ballots. These items have been addressed by Missouri in House Bill 511. SOS Administrative Rules need to be changed to match this. The main issue which must be addressed is notification from election authorities to provisional ballot voters as to whether or not their ballot was counted and why. The Federal law calls for free access by the voter to this information. Free access would be a toll free telephone line or use of a website. Lengthy discussion was held regarding privacy issues involved in using a website. Suggestion was made that a toll free line in the Secretary of State's Office be used with all counties reporting the provisional ballot information to the State. Federal law limits access to provisional ballot information to the individual who cast the ballot. Struckhoff encouraged the committee to read the law and submit recommendations regarding this issue and emphasized avoiding additional costs to local government for providing this information. Discussion was held regarding what type password could be used by individuals accessing their information, what information must be made available, and how to inform provisional balloters of where the information is available. Mary Ratliff questioned whether provisional ballot voters have the opportunity to offer a challenge if their ballot is not counted. Struckhoff advised that there is no allowance for this in the law. David Welch offered that eventually a provisional balloter whose ballot is not counted will take his challenge to a judge and the outcome will be determined.
At this time, the committee recessed briefly. Upon reconvening, Kelly Christopher offered the suggestion of pre-numbering the provisional ballot envelopes with a tear-off area, which contains the same number, as well as instructions to the balloter as to how to obtain information regarding their provisional ballot. The ballot envelope number could then be used as their password. Gayla Vandelicht advised that pre-numbered envelopes would be much more expensive, but she will check into this matter. Discussion was again held regarding a toll free phone line at the office of SOS for this information. Estil Fretwell stated that he believes it would be better for the provisional balloter to be able to talk to the local election authority, and suggested that the toll free line have the capability of being routed to the local election authority's office. Pam Bax will check into these issues and report back to the committee at their next meeting. Emphasis was given to voter education as the primary way to avoid the need for provisional balloting. The committee as a whole feels voter education is the best tool, so that voters know that just because they voted a provisional ballot, it doesn't mean their vote was counted, encouraging them to address their voter registration issues before election day. Thor Hearn advised that, in the future, if provisional ballots determine the outcome of a close race, taking two weeks to certify these ballots could be a problem. He also cited the need for uniform counting standards to be established for the certifying of provisional ballots.
The committee then moved on to the voter identification issues. Struckhoff advised that Missouri is in compliance on this issue, but expressed concern with the question regarding age of the voter. Because in Missouri a voter can register at age 17-1/2, the question asking if they will be 18 on election day would be difficult to answer, as there could be other elections between the time they register and the time they turn 18. Discussion was held regarding handling this issue administratively. Vandelicht advised that because Missouri laws allow personal identification of a voter by two supervisory judges, and this is not in the Federal law, the Statement of a Known Voter has been changed to a government affidavit. Struckhoff then questioned if Federal Law requires election authorities to accept voter registration applications which are not printed on proper card stock. Vandelicht will check into this matter. She also advised that the new voter registration applications were to be implemented effective 1/1/03. Discussion was held by Ruth Reder, Department of Motor Vehicles, regarding applications currently being used which do not comply with the Federal requirements. She will check into this matter. She also advised that DMV has upgraded the questions they ask when a customer registers to vote to "Are you registered to vote at your current address and do you want to be?" This will be implemented in April or May, 2003. David Welch questioned if a mail-in registration is received close to the cut-off date for an election and the information regarding citizenship or age is not completed, is the registration considered filed timely to qualify for that election. Federal Law states "before the next Federal Election". Therefore, the applicant would have until the day before the election to comply.
The Committee then turned to the statewide database issues. Don Lloyd gave a slide presentation indicating areas where Missouri is not in compliance with Federal Law. Those areas were:
- Current system does not allow local election authorities to enter data on an expedited basis.
- Current system does not have all duplicates eliminated.
- Currently, data is not matched with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
- The Department of Motor Vehicles does not have a contract with Social Security Administration to verify voter registration information.
- The age of the data in the current system is too old.
Pam Bax listed the following problems with the current system: information is not received fast enough; there is no electronic access to local election authorities; the system does not coordinate with any other State Agencies; a unique identifier does not follow the voter throughout the State.
Struckhoff stated that this would be the toughest segment for this subcommittee. He gave a brief history of the changes required and problems experienced when the LEMS system was implemented. He stated that if software and/or hardware must be changed in the offices of every local election authority, he does not feel it is realistic to think this can be accomplished by January 1, 2004. He suggested that the subcommittee may recommend applying for a waiver to extend this date until January 1, 2006. He then asked if local election offices will have to change software. Pam Bax answered that this is probable as the LEMS system is not compliant with getting data from locals in an expedited manner. Struckhoff noted that the transition would be much easier if the local offices did not have to be changed. He also noted that under Federal Law the SOS Database will be the official voter registration database. In the past the official database belonged to the local election authority. Glenn Nielsen questioned the security of the database as is required by the Federal Law. Lloyd advised that in the current system, no one can access the database but authorized SOS employees. However, under the new law, all local election authorities will have to have access. Charlene Davis discussed the fact that the voter registration database changes even on Election Day, and questioned what "official list" really means. Lengthy discussion was held regarding expedited entry of data as some counties only enter data weekly or monthly. Problems noted with the required system changes included timely access to the database by local election authorities on election day when all counties are accessing many times. Lloyd advised that connectivity between local and SOS is a problem. Struckhoff stated that local election authorities want to be proactive in maintaining the database and do not want their information changed by SOS or another county. Davis noted that all of their unique voter numbers would have to be changed. Discussion was held regarding petition verification and the many different types of connectivity being used by the various counties. Struckhoff encouraged those present to attend all public hearings if possible. The next subcommittee meeting will be held on March 19, 2003 at 4:00 p.m. (immediately following the public hearing) in the Roy Blunt Conference Room, Office of the Secretary of State. Members of the committee are to read the current law, read the Help America Vote Act, and read proposed House Bill 511 and compile their notes and suggestions prior to the next meeting.
Meeting was then adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Carol A. Bennett, Phelps County Clerk
Member of Database/Provisional Voting/Voter ID Subcommittee

Is this a trick question? A gradient is the same as a blend from one color into another color over an area. If you want a uniform color, use a flat fill color like the 50% K you've got in your color palette. A gradient is not uniform because it is not uniform, except in one direct in a single area ( i.e., your gradient palette as shown above ). I'm getting a headache.
The pattern you're seeing is referred to as gradient banding. In principle, think of it like this:
A Photoshop gradient is an array of a fixed number of pixels, each a specific tone. So the number of tone steps remains the same, regardless of how the image (the fixed set of pixels) is scaled (resolution dependence).
So Photoshop (PhotoPaint, whatever) says something like: "Color the leftmost image pixel 100%. Color the second image pixel 99%. Color the third image pixel 98%..."
An Illustrator gadient is a mathematical command to transition from one tone to another over a distance. So the number of steps rendered between the starting and ending tones specified is dependent upon the mechanics of the current output device (resolution independence). Your monitor is an output device. Think of it as a low-resolution printer. The number of bands you see on your monitor is different from the number of bands that will occur in print.
So Illustrator (CorelDraw, whatever) says something like: "Color the left end of this object 100%. Color the right end of this object 90%. Fill in between with as many steps as you can handle."
Understand: That does not make raster images immune to banding in print. Banding occurs in raster images just as it does in vector paths. Just because a raster image file may specify a thousand discrete tones, doesn't mean the output device can actually render a thousand different tones. So in both cases, the number of steps in the rendered grad is limited to the capabilities of the output device.
Just because your Photoshop grad appears smooth on your monitor doesn't mean it won't appear banded in print.
Just because your Illustrator grad appears banded on your monitor doesn't mean it won't appear smooth in print.
Don't confuse vector grads with vector blends. They are two different constructs. Vector blends interpolate a discrete number of intermediate paths, therefore a discrete number of tones.
Thank you very much.
I noticed that the gradient banding is only when the gradient in Illustrator is grayscale, if I put another color, looks perfect. Why?
What is the best way to spend a gradient logo made in Illustrator to Photoshop?
I tried to export and copy - paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, but it appears the gradient banding. And in the rasterization options I have 600 ppi.
I noticed that the gradient banding is only when the gradient in Illustrator is grayscale, if I put another color, looks perfect. Why?
Think of how colors are constructed: They are "built up from" values of several "primary colors" (especially in print). Your monitor doesn't have individual rows of hardware pixels colored for each of the 16.7 million colors that can be rendered by them. It just has three rows: red, green, and blue. Each of those "primary colors" has its own grayscale ramp. There is a separate image (channel) sent to each of those three primary colors. Each of those images is actually a grayscale ramp. The steps (bands) in the image sent to the red channel does not have to correspond to those in the image sent to the blue channel, and so on.
So when your monitor paints a gradient that consists of differing periods of steps for each of the three primaries--you are simply viewing more bands, so the bands are smaller and therefore less evident.
The same thing happens in print. But unlike your monitor, the bands are in fact further "mixed up" by the fact that the primary ink colors (CMYK) are printed at different angles. So again: what you see on your monitor does not exactly correspond to what will be seen in print. This is true whether you are viewing a TIFF, a JPEG, a PNG, text, or vector paths, and whether you are viewing those objects in Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, a web browser, or whatever. If you're viewing it on a monitor, you are always viewing it in RGB, and you are always viewing it as rendered by the simple, neat, horizontal rows of square hardware pixels, not as the rosettes of different-size, differently-angled, roundish clusters of color-separated ink dots on paper.
What is the best way to spend a gradient logo made in Illustrator to Photoshop?
The best way would be to simply render your grads in Photoshop after importing the paths and converting them to pixel selections (which is really what's going on, despite all the various smoke-and-mirrors features for getting something from a vector drawing program to a raster imaging program). That's not necessarily always the most practical way. Beyond that, specifics would depend upon...the specifics.
And in the rasterization options I have 600 ppi.
The rasterization options where? You can't get good answers in an online forum without at least trying to adhere to the terms of the program, and refering to the specific steps you are performing.
With so general a question, you are effectively asking for a crash course in the differences between raster and vector graphics and what occurs in rasterization. Generally speaking, you have control over the number of pixels to which a vector graphic is rasterized. And when it's all said-and-done, a Photoshop document has only one PPI (number of pixels) to which everything in it is rasterized. That's the difference between the resolution-independence of vector graphics and the resolution-dependence of raster graphics.
And in the rasterization options I have 600 ppi.
The rasterization options where? You can't get good answers in an online forum without at least trying to adhere to the terms of the program, and refering to the specific steps you are performing.
Sorry. I do it in Illustrator, when I export the document to tif, jpg... at the export options window.
I think I'll make a color proof the next week to see how it goes.
I made this post right after I made my previous post but for some reason it did not actually get posted even thought it appeared on my computer?
How are is it being printed? If Inkjet or other rgb device then use rich black and not just the K channel. If being printed CMYK and it is a four color job use rich black as well and on jsu the K channel. NMake the printer aware of the problem.
However I printed it out on my Inkjet and there is banding.
I think I'll make a color proof the next week to see how it goes.
Always the thing to do in any print-destined project of significant cost/run-size, when you have doubts about what you've done re grad banding or other technical concerns. The proof is always in the pudding, and the pudding is what matters.

Obama, Romney surrogates insist their guy will win. Both can't be right.
On this last Sunday before 2012's contentious presidential election, campaign surrogates had their game faces on, bluffing and butting heads rhetorically about what Election Day portends.
Except for religious broadcasting on some obscure cable channels, Sunday morning pre-football TV is all about the nation's other contact sport: politics.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
On this last Sunday before 2012's contentious presidential election, Republican and Democrat campaign surrogates had their game faces on, bluffing and butting heads rhetorically about what Election Day portends.
"I'm very confident that, two days out from Election Day, the president's going to be re-elected on Tuesday night," David Plouffe, a White House adviser who managed Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Over on "Fox News Sunday," Rich Beeson, Mitt Romney's campaign manager, was confidently predicting that his man would win 300 electoral votes – far more than the 270 necessary to take the White House.
"It's going to be a big win for Governor Romney," Mr. Beeson declared.
In Pictures: A roadtrip across the political landscape
Also on Fox News, Obama senior adviser David Axelrod dismissed GOP claims to have made Pennsylvania competitive.
"They understand that they're in deep trouble," Mr. Axelrod said. "They understand that the traditional, or the battleground, states that we've been focusing are not working out for them. Now they're looking for somewhere, desperately looking for somewhere."
In the all-important battleground state of Ohio, the Real Clear Politics polling average shows Mr. Obama ahead by nearly three percentage points.
But US Sen. Rob Portman (R) of Ohio, a prominent Romney campaign surrogate, told CNN's Candy Crowley he's confident that the GOP candidate has a good chance of taking the state.
"All the polls are going in the right direction, so I'm very happy about the polling," he said. "I feel very good about Ohio." Still, he acknowledged, he "wouldn't want to risk" trying to win without Ohio – something no Republican presidential candidate has ever done.

quiet, stays coolPros: its really quiet, and uses only one slot. its low wattage and powerful enough for the occasional gamer. Cons: gddr3, dont expect the newest games to run at the highest settings with this thing, you get what you pay for. Other Thoughts: the board itself if flimsy, so be careful installing it. its also full height so it cant be used in low profile cases. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great card for the pricePros: Not the most fast (GDDR3 as opposed to GDDR5) nor the most withering of cards, but at $85 it works like a champ. Replaced a 9500GT and it's nice to finally get 1080p at 1920x1080 out of this mongoloid monitor (32") and be able to live with it. Cons: Non, so far.. Other Thoughts: Not real concerned with overclocking for the first year or two. Fan runs real quiet and it keeps quite cool in my case set-up. When I go I5 / I7 next year, we'll see where things are at. Did you find this review helpful? |
Could not be more impressed!Pros: - High FPS in current games Cons: - No SLI Support Other Thoughts: I could not be more satisfied with the card for the price that I paid. Been using it in my custom system for about a week now, and so far every game that I throw at it performs well! Running Skyrim on Ultra High graphics and all textures tuned to high quality at 1920x1080! Have not tried with any brand new games such as Crysis 3, but feel pretty confident that it would run on medium to high settings. The one issue with this card is that it does not support SLI, but for me that is not an issue as my motherboard only has one PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot. All and all great card for the money highly recommend! Did you find this review helpful? |
Decent Card / Not for gamingPros: This card is great for adding another couple of monitors to your system or for playing games at a resolution lesser than 1920x1080. It will certainly run games at high resolution (I tried Modern Warfare 3 and Far Cry), but there is a slight choppiness not found in higher end cards. Cons: None at the moment. Other Thoughts: Intel 3770k Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |

'Scandal' Interview: Tony Goldwyn and Bellamy Young Discuss Fitz and Mellie's Complicated Relationship
Thursday, February 07, 2013
Michelle Carlbert
Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
season 2 continues on Thursday, February 7 with an episode called "Nobody Likes Babies." Last week we saw just how far Mellie is willing to go to keep her husband. Last month BuddyTV caught up with Tony Goldwyn (Fitz) and Bellamy Young (Mellie) on the set to talk about this TV couple's very complicated relationship.
Fitz may have been suffering from an injury when he asked for a divorce, but don't think he doesn't mean it. "That's a big bomb to drop in the bedroom. But he's speaks the truth and Fitz is done playing games." Goldwyn said.
"It's a very complicated relationship."
But Fitz is not without feelings when it comes to his wife's plight on the show. "It's a very painful thing to be in love with someone who's not in love with you. But Mellie is also a very destructive person. She and Fitz; I think they love each other, but it's a very complicated relationship. I think he has tremendous respect for her and contempt for her as well." Goldwyn revealed, and that Fitz "loves Mellie, but he's not in love with her. I think that they have had a great partnership. A couple episodes back, she said to him in a scene in the limo, 'I was once that girl,' and then Fitz turns and kisses her and says, 'I forgive you.' He loves her soul in that way, but there is too much water under the bridge. You cross certain boundaries and you can't go back and I don't think Fitz could ever go back without feeling fundamentally compromised as a man."
"He will be persistent."
What about the final scene of last week's episode where Mellie obviously had herself induced to have their baby early? Will that make Fitz change his mind about the divorce? Goldwyn isn't sure, "We never know because Shonda never tells us," he said. "But for the moment it is very much what it appears: Fitz has had a moment of clarity in almost losing his life and he's done playing games and he's going to tell the truth and he's going to stick to it. He will be persistent." Goldwyn revealed.
"Mellie will use any resource at her disposal."
Does that mean that Mellie is going to back down? Don't count on it, according to Young, Mellie is going to whatever it takes to keep marriage. "Mellie will use any resource at her disposal, and I do mean any. [Fitz asking for a divorce is] a blow to Mellie, but she's on the long game. She'll absorb the blow and then she will get to work on erasing that idea from his mind. She's carrying his child! In the White House! He's had this near-death experience clarity which she needs to replace with pragmatism and a sense of context." Young said.
"Mellie loves this man blindingly."
I told Young about the debate that some of had on the way to the set and that I was the only one who thought that some of what Mellie did was based on love for Fitz, and not purely about manipulation of his career. In response, Young said, "I am with you. Mellie loves this man blindingly with the course of her being and they've had years together of a great partnership; parenting and professionally. It was a terrific partnership and it's just gutting to watch him find true love with someone else and that brings out a hideous color in her. They are in a terrible moment, but absolutely everything comes from love; the hate, the anger, the pain, it's all because she loves that man."
What do you think of the relationship between Fitz and Mellie on this season of
? Do you think that Mellie having the baby early is going to make Fitz waver in his desire for a divorce?

Nature's Way Horse Chestnut Standardized -- 90 Capsules
Horse Chestnut Standardized
My husband and I take this for improved circulation in our legs. It helps us both. Our legs don't feel so heavy at the end of the day and swelling is reduced. We also take a high gamma vitamin E, and quercetin with bromelain.
June 28, 2013
This was not the best for me
I do believe the claims of horse chestnut but for me, it gave me diarhea. I like all the other products I have purchased from Vitacost but this one, for me, is not the best
June 17, 2010
Lose those night-time foot cramps
I was pretty skeptical buying this, since taking high dose potassium didn't seem to help me, but taking one every night with dinner seems to do the trick.
July 15, 2009
it really works
if your like me and get really heavy legs around your pms try this it works right away!
May 13, 2009
Great product!
I stopped taking this for a couple of weeks and I could feel the difference in my legs and feet! For the great price that Vitacost offers...there is no reason not to take this great herbal vitamin!

Hey Wheel fans! Getting on my all-time favorite game show was not easy, but it was a fun journey that was well worth the effort. After jumping up and down screaming at my television set at a contestant in the Bonus Round who could not figure out the puzzle, I logged on to the Wheel of Fortune web site and immediately filled out a contestant application. I figured that I had no choice but to be on the show at some point. When else will I be able to apply my 20+ years of experience solving puzzles with missing letters come in handy!
I was so excited when I learned that auditions would be held right here in my city of Las Vegas, at the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino. When I got there I had a blast interacting with about 60 avid Wheel of Fortune fans, completed a very challenging written test, and then gave a brief interview after making the first cut.
Then I waited for "the call." I waited, waited, and waited, all while watching the show every day imagining how much money I would win if I was to ever get on the show. Then a few weeks later on my way to the gym, I learned that I would be a contestant on the Spring Fling week in Las Vegas! I immediately started playing the online version of the game show, started DVRing every new episode, and spent all of my down time doing crossword puzzles. Hard to squeeze in the time between teaching middle school math and going to law school at night, but let's just say I never turned down a hangman challenge against an 8th grader and spent more than a few evenings playing Wheel on my laptop in class (sorry professors!)
I knew that this would be the moment of a lifetime, and I am so excited to be able to share my Spring Fling experience with you all. Hope you enjoy rooting for me at home as much as my Las Vegas home court audience enjoyed it! Tune in Wednesday, March 30th, to see how I did!

Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)
directed by
Ari Sandel
Vince Vaughn, Ahmed Ahmed, John Caparulo, Bret Ernst, Sebastian Maniscalco
Popular comic actor Vince Vaughn brings a newly invigorating sense of Old West attitude to the world of standup comedy as he captures the carefree spirit of Buffalo Bill's turn-of-the-century "Wild West Show" on the stage, and the cameras are rolling to capture every belly-shaking laugh in this look at the 30-day, 30-gig tour that featured Vaughn serving as emcee to a wild host of renegade comics that included John Caparulo, Ahmed Ahmed, Bret Ernst, Sebastian Maniscalco, and a whole host of surprise special guests. Of course, when you gather as many comedians together as Vaughn did for such a high-concept tour, the laughs are sure to keep coming once the show has ended, and in addition to offering standup footage of each comic in action, the feature-film version of the tour also offers a hilarious look at what it was like for a group of fun-loving guys to make their way across the American landscape while bringing down the house night after night. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Hide synopsis

This squirrel really wanted to take a nap but once he heard my camera click, he kept his eyes opened. He had a hard time keeping them open but he sure wanted to know what I was doing with the camera pointing at him. I wonder what keeps them from falling when they are sleeping on a branch??

Today, I was eavesdropping on a young couple in a cafe. The man asked the woman to recommend a book, something he wouldn't be able to put down on a long, upcoming plane ride.
