Visitors were asked to write a short story on modern celebrity. The winner would get star billing on the Steffi site as well as having Andrew Crofts as a mentor to help work up the story into a novel, find an agent, publisher and so on.
Howling miniature whirl winds caught her skirt tugging ferociously. The muscles in her face were giving up.
"Perfect Clarissa!"
She was hardly listening,
"To the left a bit….no …to the right…. excellent now; smile!"
The ache was unbearable, like someone tightening the gears in her face with a spanner. She battled on, posing with hats and scarves, chairs and "beautiful" backdrops.
Please Clarissa we hurt!
"To the side,"
Ouch! STOP smiling!
"And look down…"
"Perfect! 3..."
"…1 and we're done!"
She flicked to the first page of Glam magazine to see the pictures accompanying her interview.
"…Clarissa Tipton, was late full of apologies claiming a traffic jam,"
Claiming?! The cheek! If only they knew the half of it!
She scanned the introduction horrified and began the actual interview.
"..Clarissa, how has life been over the last few months? We know you had a hard time. Im not here to discuss that.
But how have you been dealing with the bad press? Do you think it's unfair?"
Life hadn't always been like this, she wondered back through her memories as she slammed the magazine onto the desk. Once upon a time she had dreams, hopes and a life.
A stream of sunlight escaped through the curtains catching dust particles on its journey to Clarissa's cheeks. Her eyes fluttered, the light granting her sight for the split second before she turned over desperate for sleep.
Sleep was a blissful reward, but her silent slumber was shattered by her mother's harsh voice;
Clarissa ignored her until she heard her mother's irritated footsteps ascend the stairs.
She quickly scrambled around, grabbing clothes, positioning herself in a pose of wakefulness.
"Are you up?"
"Yes Mum!"
"You better be!"
She skipped breakfast for the first time in her life that morning, a seemingly harmless event that would not be her last. Soon enough she was on her way.
The waiting room was ominous; the walls were grimy and scuffed from chairs. They had tried their best; there was a slightly yellow plant sat in the corner, lonely and unloved.
A tallish man in a pinstriped suit walked in muttered a name. So quiet it was almost unintelligible.
She looked up, her blonde hair masking her eyes. Underneath the veil they were nervous, conscious her entire life lay on this meeting.
"Would you like to come in?"
Heart thudding she gripped her mothers hand and entered listening to the mans highly polished shoes squeak as his weight was applied.
Gesturing to two chairs in front of his desk he settled in his own and pushed two glasses of water toward them.
"Do you have a portfolio?"
Clarissa was shocked when he had asked her to sign a contract; she was only 14 and never dreamed of staring so young. One of her clearest memories was of him leaving the room muttering to himself the fatal words, "So young; so naïve,"
The truths in those words were her downfall.
She now sat hunched in her designer sofa head in hands, why had she let her self be dragged in. Why couldn't she let go and move on?
A cool tear scolded her cheek, its salty taste resting on her bottom lip. Followed by the whole platoon of salty moisture.
She found herself battling with breakfasts, desperate to skip them. It wasn't a choice it was a demon gnawing her, telling her she had to be thinner. If she was fat she couldn't achieve her dream. It was an impossible decision but with subtle encouragement from the pinstripe suited man she let her self be engulfed by the demons suicidal ways. It happened gradually and it brought a guilty smile to her face to see the scales reading an impossible weight.
Three years later, having suffered a heart attack due to the impossible truth she finally realized she did not want this, she could not want this.
It was too late. She was famous now…. It was all within her reach and that was what hurt the most. She risked it all and took the pinstriped suit to court.
She wanted compensation, he had encouraged her, brainwashed her. She didn't ask for it. She didn't like the way she looked in the mirror. She wasn't Clarissa anymore, she wasn't aloud to be. The public didn't love Clarissa they loved the demon. The demon given to her by the pinstripe suit. But then all he wanted was the money. She was just money in his eyes. Solid gold.
Hugging her knees she could still feel the bones, she could not let go of her demon, or rather he could not let go of her. He wanted to consume her fat and reduce her to bones. He still laughed when she pushed away her burger in favor of a crouton and water.
The day of court had be labeled "Judgment day" in all the tabloids. She walked in head held as high as her skeleton would allow.
The judge had looked down sympathetically at her as he passed the judgment. She had won the case but all was not over. She could not live a normal life. How could she, she was now worth up to £50,000 a shot, £80,000 if you got some bone sticking out. She was hounded; she could not breath without it being documented. It was an impossible life.
She was on the brink of reinventing herself now a new line of clothes, a new healthy figure but somehow no one could forget her past. Interviews were in high demand.
The bell rang and she sighed as she heard the house keeper usher the young journalist up the stairs to the study.
"Good morning Miss Tipton,"
"Please call me Clarissa,"
Clarissa lent back and let her blonde curls mask her face, behind the veil she was terrified, and she knew the first question. The classic first question.
"Do you think its unfair?"
Well……did she?

What is it?
A stretcher specifically designed to transport infants from one hospital to another.
What does it do?
Special medical devices have been mounted to the gurney for neonatal care. These devices include a portable incubator, a respiration monitor, infusion pumps and a medical gas supply.
Why is this useful?
Hospitals are becoming increasingly experienced in the provision of targeted (premature) neonatal care. This care sometimes requires infants to be transported from one hospital to another; transportation that should be handled in a safe and medically responsible manner using an incubation stretcher.
What are the benefits?
The incubation stretcher consists of a chassis, a trolley and an innovative gurney whose modular design allows for client-specific adaptations. Most hospitals prefer to work with their own equipment configurations. The gurney is mounted on existing trolley fixation points to facilitate maintenance and repair. The middle frame is constructed out of lightweight carbon. (Stretchers are regularly lifted and must therefore be as light as possible.) A crumple zone was included as an additional safety measure.
Additional details?
User-friendliness is essential to this product. During the design process, a life-size model was created in order to assess the final product with the client at an early stage. The users were not the only ones to contribute to the design: the nursing and maintenance staff were also involved in the process. Periodic, preventative and corrective maintenance can ultimately be done in-house.
What do we think?
"Designing products that contribute to optimal patient care is a wonderful job," says project leader Paul Laeven.

All In London's list of London's best Flat Whites
flat white
flaat whyette/
flet wyte/ 1. An antipodean style coffee which is served as a strong shot of espresso served in a small cup with textured milk; a damn good strong coffee.
noun. colloq.
flat white; I'm gonna smash back a couple of flatties bro/
... so says Soho coffeehouse "Flat White" (appropriately named) who claim to have brought the the bevy to the UK shores from down-under.
If the slicked-back machismo of the espresso purist is just a little too much for you then why not take things down a notch or two and order a coffee you'll actually enjoy drinking?
It's like a hug in a mug. And luckily for us Brits, it's now over here.
The list
Flat White
17 Berwick Street W1F 0PT
Flat White claims to be among the first to have served up the drink to London and it has the name, so there. Transforming what was in our cups from Matey Bubble bath to the liquid gypsy tart its still giving now; its a total coffee party. Loud music with caffeine brunches, theres probably nothing better in this crazy world.
Monmouth Coffee House
27 Monmouth Street Covent Garden WC2H 9DD
The Covent Gardeners coffee is legendary and they roast and grind their own. Theres something of the conservative British approach to it that distances them from the hipster newbies but their house grind causes a stir for certain. Surely the richest flavour in London and to be enjoyed in the fun of the skewiff wooden cabin appeal it has going on in its Monmouth Street outpost.
3 Bateman Street Soho W1D 4AG
Originally Milk Bar was a sidekick of Flat White, but since its inception has continued to become more and more popular. The stylish façade is a little rough around the edges which is just fine and the coffee scores high, with the antipodean drink du jour one of the best youll find in Soho.
Caravan Exmouth Market
11-13 Exmouth Market Clerkenwell EC1R 4QD
Caravan is more about the fine location than the purity of its outstanding flat white. Coffee isnt the main event here and you can tell, but that makes the surprise of a perfectly whipped white all the more satisfying. With ethically sourced Arabica beans at the heart of the coffee range, its a great place to get tweaked on caffeine up on Exmouth Market.
Our Rating
Wilton Way Cafe
63 Wilton Way E8 1BG
Feel the high with their flat white in a far out arty atmosphere that says never fear, there really is a life beyond nine to five jobs thanks to the laptop crowd who pack it out daily. The walls are covered with creative creations and theres the in-house London Fields Radio so you can hear musos playing their favourite psych rock, Sixties girl groups and general interestingness while you tip back that micro foam. The Climpsons beans are a winner.
Fernandez & Wells
43 Lexington Street Soho W1F 9AL
A coffee chain (locations around Soho and Somerset House) that stands out from the crowd you can tell there must be something about Fernando and Wells from the slew of fashionably attired customers who queue for its coffee and sandwiches. Stylish and a little bit sexy, the flat white is more than a match for the sleek environment in which it is served up.
Look Mum No Hands
49 Old Street The City EC1V 9AQ
Beer selling, Tour de France showing, bike fixing café and all round perfect stop off for that tired old Clerkenwell Road ride. Theres only one thing here better than the millionaire shortbread and thats the flat white. So, dont bother getting greasy in your own bike shed, just come here and waste your money on someone else doing the hard work so you can enjoy those delicious Square Mile beans while you watch.
Present London
140 Shoreditch High Street Shoreditch E1 6JE
Prufrock have a second London outpost in the uber hip entrance of Present, the Shoreditch menswear store, which can make eyes weep at the sartorial heaven on display and wallets weep at the prices of reaching a higher plain of clothing. The coffee from the vintage machine is, naturally, incredible and the flat white itself remains the choice to make its as big as cappuccino was in the nineties.
Our Rating
Workshop Coffee Co
27 Clerkenwell Road EC1M 5RN
It might be tempting to think that if there is no antipodean influence on a coffee venture, then its not worth your while. Not true, however, this is another New Zealand affiliated coffee enterprise, which seems to mean quality with a capital Q! The in-house roaster gets the beans toasty and the flat white benefits. A more subtle flavour than some cafes, but no less delicious.

At least this means this that 3.5 won't be skipped for 4. Speaking of version 4, they still aim for release in 2010, so hopefully 3.5 will be out before end of the year.
At least this means this that 3.5 won't be skipped for 4. Speaking of version 4, they still aim for release in 2010, so hopefully 3.5 will be out before end of the year.
I'm reluctant to believe anything at this point. After waiting interminably for this thing with no word, as usual, I'm pretty miffed right now. Maybe, they are putting the finishing touches on it now, or maybe, it will be several more months. Maybe, they are killing themselves to get it done, or, maybe, there is only one tired, old, semi-retired programmer named Ned, who shuffles in twice a week to work on the mac version for two hours a day, then sleeps in his chair the rest of the time. Who knows? Right now, I'm just sick and tired of waiting here, checking the forums regularly looking for some little bone to be tossed my way, while trying to guess what's going on. Would someone please give Ned a nudge!Originally Posted by perpetumdesign

It's unfortunate how Pixologic treats it's customers and I am 99% done with the roller coaster. I prefer companies that are a little more predictable and I've found there are lot's of those out there.
ZBrush may have been the "Top Dog" in sculpting but now with other players such as: Mudbox, Blender, 3DCoat, and Sculptris just to name a few ZBrush is not the only game in town. If Pixologic thought they could treat their customers like crap and still keep them as customers then they were wrong at least in my case.
Due to the long wait I've found alternative Sculpting software that works just as well as ZBrush (maybe better) and I've learned it to the point that I don't use ZBrush much at all any more. I don't think I'll stick with ZBrush much longer as I can now sculpt, model and create my UV maps all in one package.
So I'll take my free upgrade to 4, but I don't know if I'll even be using it.
There's no excuse for the lack of communication IMO. I mean how much work is it to keep mac users informed of the progress. A bi-monthly or monthly update of a sentence or two to let mac customers know where they're at would have kept me interested a few months ago but no longer.
Pixologic's lack of communication speaks volumes about how they feel about their customers. Their silence is perceived as a lack of respect for their customers and they've been told this countless times over the last 2-3 years but still no change in their communication methods.
I'm not mad at Pixo just indifferent and disappointed. For the most part I have moved on.

It's very Sad to see Pixologic " removed " my post in which i mentioned 3DCOAT
So you guys (Pix) read every post but choose not to communicate
just " sensor "
I love ZBrush and I respect the innovation side but I can't help but wonder who or what is in charge of your costumer service / PR Dep. !
check the difference in the level of communication

3DC is ok, but I have yet to see any convincing work done with it. The best 3DC work is nowhere near the best ZB work that I have seen.Anyone who has been waiting endlessly should give 3DCoat a try due to the fact that Voxels (blows away poly sculpting), better topology tools, better UVs so on, not to mention (most important) that Andrew the developer of 3DC actually " communicates" with the users, how about that ! and is constantly fixing bugs & adding features on weekly builds that you can download for free
So if you are frustrated with how Pixologic is treating us ( lack of respect) I strongly encourage you guys to give 3DC a try
Perhaps if enough of us migrate (mac & win), Pixologic will realize that they are not the only game in town and change the way they do business
check it out:
Voxels do not (yet) "blow polys away", they are just different, at times better, at times inferior.
3DC does seem to be building itself as a better more rubust production tool, while ZB seems to add wacky, random features that artists later have to coerse into compliance with production.
ZB is still miraculously the better product. If 3D coat cleans up it's UI, adresses some performance issues, and gets some talent producing art to attract users, well... it would be a whole new ballgame.
I too am getting tired of Pixologic's inability to stick to its word. Fortunately I get to influence our company to which software package we choose to use for sculpting and I am truly thinking we should make the switch to the main competitor.
The biggest disappointment in all of this is that the Mac version of 3.5 will come out with a few extra bits in it only to see that version 4 for the PC will come out a month or so later with major upgrades. The Mac users will then have to wait and wait and wait and wait and beg and beg and beg for version 4.
This is one big WAG OF MY FINGER to Pixologic.
I just stumbled upon 3D Coat this weekend. I have to say, it has a ways to go with getting up to ZBrush's level, but I was quite impressed with the retop & UV tools.Originally Posted by 0bz
I think I'll be ditching Maya for my UV editing now, as 3DC is much faster, has similar features to UV layout with a more user friendly interface.
Retopping is a bit easier as well, as it "sticks" to your mesh better when drawing polygons. The spline feature is also quite nice.
A couple areas to step up your game Pixologic... You guys are still hands down the best when it comes to sculpting though.
When you start to think of what everything around you would look like in wireframe, does that mean you have problems?

When Z4 is released, it will drop jaws and it will bring
you guys back. Any customers that walked away,
will come running back.
The Pixologic Team knows all about the competition,
and they also knew that Z4 was not ready.
But you people know just as well as I, when
Pixologic launches a new version, it's a version
well worth the wait! Z4 will boost Pixologic well above the competition.
The silence from Pixologic, i do not agree with simply because it brings
this wonderful community down.
I think they are just doing as requested by so many users, that replied
they should not give a release date they can not meet.
Hope i'm not wrong!
THE FUTURE BEGINS 3rd Qtr 2009
Hell yeah!
er oh wait,
Following the release of 3.5, we will continue to refine ZBrush 4 and its features (such as LightBoxand Spotlight) for release in the 4th Quarter of 2009.
hmm, somethings not right here... wait, a new update...
The Windows version of 3.5 will be released by the end of August, followed by a release of the OSX version in September.
Oh, maybe they meant 2010?
Seriously though I hope it works out (at least a lil') by Siggraph 2010.
You'll be sorry, I to get upset at times, but I really won't sell my ZBrush... who says version 4 is not the last freebie and what are you going to pay then....?Pixologic does not care about his customers. I bought Zbrush a while ago and I must say that I don´t use it any more. Instead I bougt 3d-Coat, which has a much better performance (64bit), Cuda support, the best Retopo-System- I know and much better support for his customers.
Does anybody wants to buy my licence for Zbrush 3.5? Special Offer!!!
I have just done a quick browse a few links up.... 100% negative reports, go to so said users gallery, nothing to view... what are you complaining about? Use it our loose it...
We know ZBrush is going to deliver, better late than never...
Here is a novel ... count on the delivery date being December 31st ... guaranteed to be pleasantly surprised that way as they have all but guaranteed a delivery date that is within the 2010 calendar year ...
Semper Fidelis!

Ok Maybe a long shot and I'm not even sure way I'm thinking it. But does anyone know of any benchmarks on running ZB3.5 windows on an Intel mac?
What are We? How did We get to what we are now? Where are We going?

To utilize gravity
My idea starts with a show I saw on the science channel, it was about the forces on our planet. I was fine with him till he got to gravity, he said gravity was a weak force so he picked up a baseball and tossed it to show. Well if gravity is such a weak force then why didn't he pick up a bulldozer and toss it. Why does it take tons of rocket fuel to launch the space shuttle into space wouldn't a little bottle rocket do the same thing? Now this guy was a scientist so with brains like this working no wonder were where were at. Were trying to come up with alternate fuels well Germany was using this back in ww 2, so how far have we progressed in 70 years? There is a machine in someones mind somewhere that will run of of gravity to run a generator or maybe a motor maybe like a pendulum or something. I know there is some way we can utilize gravity to our advantage. Wind power is nice as long as you have wind and so is solar power as long as you have sunlight but gravity is everywhere 24 7. We need to think outside the box and quit thinking of these things that are in limited supply. Now we got ethanol and bio diesel which takes food off the table and don't even supply enough fuel to take care of Rhode Island. There is a power source that can be utilized with gravity somebody just needs to put there genus into it. It's a force and contrary to some scientists it's a powerful force so if it's a force it can be utilized somehow.
Apr 22 2011: Maybe this explains everything...."Despite a century of wasting billions of dollars in work on the theory, "No one knows how to solve completely the equations of general relativity that describe gravity; they are simply beyond current understanding"...Got this from....http://www.conservapedia.com/Counterexamples_to_Relativity#cite_note-19
This is from Einstein's theories... -
Apr 21 2011: This is what I'm talking about...http://www.magniwork.com/?hop=gray26...wherever this is real or a scam I don't know, but just look at the cost of one of the wind turbines (about 40,000 dollars and you still need wind to run it) and these guys are claiming this device will cost about 5,000 dollars and produce a lot more electricity.
Apr 19 2011: Well people the only thing I see I have done wrong here is probably sumitting this to the wrong forum, I guess I should have summited it to the questions forum. Now as for Krisztian Pinter, have you done anything right? All you have summited is criticism. I just wanted to spark a thought in someones head but it's people like you that are part of the problem you're wasting all that brain power on everything but thinking. So who's wrong here me for having a thought but not thinking or you for having no thought or thinking?
Apr 17 2011: Physicists refer to gravity as a weak force only relative to the forces within subatomic particles or the force of electromagnetism, for example. If gravity were as strong as those, a grain of sand would be unliftable.
We actually do use gravity to generate electricity, in the form of hydroelectric power. (I could be more pedantic and say that it's really solar power, since evaporation is key to the process, but I won't.) Before electricity, it was used for irrigation and to turn millstones. Tidal power is less common but it's also traceable to gravity.
I'm not sure how magnetic levitation (which Erik mentioned) could be used to generate electricity; but maglev is used for high-speed rail transport, as propulsion and for eliminating rolling friction. -
Apr 17 2011: I don't know enough physics here, but I'm all for the synergy value of throwing in an idea or two from somewhere outside the box.
1.) If we suspend two magnets attracted to each other, such that gravity is pulling one away from the other, couldn't that be used to generate electricity?
2.) Why can't we use a wheel with weight at a point on the outside edge to spin generators, instead of requiring steam power (from coal or nuclear)? It would take a small amount of energy to keep the wheel spinning, but that should be less than the work supplied by gravity and centrifugal force.
I mentioned the part about not being a physicist, right? :-D -
Apr 17 2011: Well I'm thinkin' the big winner is "anti-gravity"..then we could just float goods around the world in containers and build without cranes and noise and our cars would just float peacefully any wheer we wanted to go...no fuels or propulsion...NASA id actually working on this at hte moment using acoustic levitation but so far they have only made small ball dance in a vacuum..today a small ball in a vacuuum..tomorrow containers floating around the world navigated by remote control.
Apr 17 2011: I'm not smart enough to come up with anything but just from seeing what were coming up with as solutions to the energy crises I'm not the only one thats not to smart. I don't have the money or resources or brains to come up with anything but everything were coming up with is in limited supply already so all we would do is just go from one crises to another. I'm just trying to put a thought in somebody's head. Check out this websight...http://powerfromgravity.com/home.aspx....There are people out there that are thinking but they probably dont have the money or resources either. It just seems like the ones that do are not the ones that are thinking.
Apr 17 2011: Thank you Debra. I probably should have put this in the debate conversation but I was just getting tired of seeing us come up with all these ideas that are already in limited supply cause sooner or later were going to run out of fossil fuel and I would hate to think all we have to turn to is wind power or solar power or even battery power. So if I offended anyone else I'm sorry.
Apr 17 2011: einstein did the majority of his own math, contrary to the popular belief. he was a math prodigy actually. but that is tangential to our discussion. cooperation is fun. having a faint clue, and wanting someone else to make it work is not. if some is incapable to contribute to a topic, leave it to those who can.
suppose you are a marketing manager at a company. i'm the sysadmin there, and i approach you with my idea: people like to communicate. we should somehow use this urge to promote our products. you should work on my idea. what would be your response?

Katy Perry Returns to Roots, Goes Back to Blonde!
By Rachel Watkins
Katy Perry has gone back to blonde, leaving her relatively brief pretty-in-pink past behind and returning to her roots in platinum style. Spotted at the Los Angeles International Airport last Sunday, the pop sensation debuted flaxen-hued, shoulder-length locks that just barely retained the blush of a cotton-candy-colored glow. It was a discreet yet definite indication of her prior sugary pink phase and the fact that her final transition to blonde is yet to be complete.
Perry is on her way to the UK for a guest appearance and performance on the British version of Simon Cowell's hit talent competition, The X Factor, this Sunday, as Daily Mail reports. A busy girl, the "Last Friday Night" singer is also set to kick off the UK leg of her California Dreams tour in London on October 14. It looks as if she thought she would have far more fun during these upcoming events as a blonde!
Returning to her natural, fair-haired color was obviously a much easier (and less damaging!) step than Katy Perry's transformation from her former jet black to the statement-making pink. She was initially forced to have her hair stripped of the deep black dye, prompting a summer defined by different tints of red and ginger before the she was in the pink.
But it is not all about the next great shade for this chameleon of hair color. Katy Perry is also making waves with a second fragrance, set to debut in December, just in time for the holidays. She's even giving fans the opportunity through Twitter to guess the name of the scent. The grand prize for guessing correctly? An opportunity to secure guest list status at the launch event, which will no doubt be a hot ticket and a star-studded affair. Perry's first spritz is called Purr. Perhaps her next will also channel a sassy feline inspiration.

The Mosaic Company—the world leader in the production, distribution, and marketing of concentrated phosphate and potash—has a broad array of risks, including exposures in property, workers' compensation, environmental management, general liability, marine liability, and cargo.
Michael R. Bishop. Mosaic's insurance manager, says manual exposure-data collection processes were restricting the company's ability to gather the level of detail desired in an efficient manner.
It was difficult to access exposure data at a highly-detailed level, due to the existing manual spreadsheet-based exposure data management process," said Bishop. We found it challenging and time consuming to identify and track risks at all locations and in every phase of production and distribution, which are essential, fundamental risk management tasks."
To achieve its exposure data management goals, Mosaic augmented the Aon RiskConsole Risk Management Information System (RMIS) with a module that automates the process of gathering, compiling, and analyzing exposure data across multiple lines.
The global exposure data management project is part of a larger, long-term Mosaic focus on developing a comprehensive risk data strategy. Since deploying its enhanced RMIS in 2005, Mosaic has moved deliberately and strategically to go beyond the more traditional use of a RMIS, which often centers on claim reporting, historical claim analysis, storage of historical policy information, and business interruption values.
According to Bishop, "Mosaic's global exposure data management project supported by RiskConsole and the exposures module has enabled us to sharpen our focus on the core of risk management—the timely identification of all risks and exposures, proper understanding and assessment of them, and the effective response to them by employees at all levels.

Media Matters – Too Much
A recent spate of headlines has my hackles up, and brings again to light that the media's job nowadays it not to be informative but provocative.
Answers do not get people turning the page nearly as well as questions. Questions that make you scared or angry, doubly so. Check out the questions these raise:
Giuliani warns of 'new 9/11′ if Dems win
Pelosi Won't Attend Petraeus Briefing
It seems like, their noses wet with the blood from the VA tragedy, the media is more eager than ever to keep the frenzy going. For neither of these headlines tell the whole story – only enough to get the pulse racing.
First off, in Giuliani's statements, he doesn't mention a "new 9/11″. And his comments are more about Democrats wanting to go on the defensive, and the defensive being the wrong stance. But the writer makes sure that the readers think he's going right for the other party's jugular with great, gory jaws of generalization, using statements like this:
"If we are on defense [with a Democratic president], we will have more losses
and it will go on longer."
Now in actuality, he hadn't yet mentioned a Democratic president. Which means, in actuality, without writer Roger Simon's slant, Rudi said:
"If we are on defense, we will have more losses and with will go on longer."
Not nearly so stimulating as a full-frontal attack on another party, using threats of dooming America, now is it?
On the other side of the aisle, the Pelosi article makes one think she's snubbing Petraeus totally, as if a Versailles artiso not deigning to receive him at her court.
But the article at least goes on to admit:
A Pelosi aide said the speaker on Tuesday requested a one-on-one meeting with
Petraeus but that could not be worked out. He said their phone conversation
lasted 30 minutes.
…before returning to stirring the political pot to a fever pitch with fiery statements about her actions.
Now, granted, Nancy better have a damn good excuse. For the sake of her own integrity, if not for her party's. Unanimous approval of Gen. Petraeus – if the Democrats' actions as a party are any indication – meant only that they all agreed on him to be their sacrificial animal. There's been no support for his plan or him since.
I would posit that they unanimously approved him because they don't care who captains a ship they're going to sink. They're opening the shuttlecocks on "Bush's war" anyway.
But regardless of the conflict between the Democrats' stance on the war and Petraeus', Pelosi did not show utter disinterest in meeting with him. What kind of good news would that make, though?
This has been endemic for awhile, but recent years – particularly the Iraq conflict – has brought the media's ravenous appetite for discord and decay to levels that threaten the course of human events.
The media shoved the case for the Iraq war down our throats, even though they knew full well of reports that contradicted the Bush administration's evidence and of prominent strategians speaking out about the dangers of occupying the country. They did this because violence sells. And that means the only thing better than a war with a clean ending is a war that doesn't end.
Let's face it, World War II was a "good war" for this country, if such a thing as a good war is possible. But not for the media. Not like Vietnam. In Vietnam, the media became aware that they could not only exploit the endless cycle of violence to sell more papers with gore than with greatness, they could also direct the course of events.
Yes, we should challenge our leaders. But it is increasingly important to challenge the institution that would lead us to opinions about them.

Red Hat Country Western Jamboree
Today my chapter (minus Kim who couldn't join us) attended the Red Hat Country Western Jamboree held at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Columbia, Missouri. The proceeds benefited Ellis Fischel Cancer Center and the event was sponsored by Red Hatters Judy Taut, Jordena Travis, Rosemary Bagby, Peggy Sue Flatt and Delores Harmon.
It was our first official Red Hat gathering and we had a blast! I had never seen so much red and purple in my life!!! The ladies across the table from us were from the Scarlet O' Hale-R's from Hale, MO and they were wonderful! Their pictures are in the slideshow.
Belle Jolie found a beautiful pink hat for $10.00 and a lovely charm bracelet with pink hats on it. I was busy just carrying my stickhorse and taking photos. I think my favorite part, aside from the ladies at our table, was the ladies (all over 70) who did line dancing! They were just phenomenal!!
All in all it was a wonderful day!! I can't wait for our next Red Hat event!!!

Jermaine Jones will be kicked off "American Idol" Wednesday night, after producers learned he concealed the fact that he was arrested twice last year and has outstanding warrants ... TMZ has learned.
As we first reported, producers discovered Tuesday that Jermaine had lied about his criminal history and that triggered the decision to confront him on camera Tuesday afternoon.
We're told one of the incidents involved violence, which was particularly troublesome to producers. He also lied to cops by giving them fake names both times he was arrested.
"A.I." sources tell us ... Jermaine will appear on the show tomorrow night before he is sent packing.
Over the last few days, we've been reporting that Jermaine told producers his father abandoned him 10 years ago, but his dad called TMZ and called B.S. on his son, saying they see each other regularly.
Jermaine began tweeting that he never told producers about his dad abandoning him. We're told the producers -- who knew Jermaine had made the statement -- became generally suspicious and began looking more closely at his background, and that's what led to the revelation of his criminal history.
Why would a person go on TV and be seen by millions of people all over the world if they have outstanding warrants?
Wow.. oh well.. the never ending saga of---> I'm I surprised? No....The _______ community needs to get their act together... And have a talk with their "offspring" that there's no excuse....
This is Reality TV and him being kicked off is going to be aired....which meaaaaaaaaaans, he will cry, others will cry, viewers will feel sorry for him, and he'll end up being one of the most popular AI contestants ever. Boom!
...sooooo..now he will go out and be pizzed at the world...stay clear of him ladies..and watch out gentleman..just saying!
Shame, the dude could sing. I just thought he didn't take critisism well from the judges. Well, maybe he'll make it as a singer some where else. Turn things around for himself.
they should have had the cops come in and arrest him live on tv. makes for great ratings !

Welly tripA few shots of the Sth Island trip.
Brenna, Simon, Mia. Xmas. I like that she can be an angel so confidently. Like it's the most natural thing in the world - 'of course I'm an angel!'
The ferry going the other way. Just after this shot, the captain had to slow the boat down and he honked his big horn VERY LOUDLY at a boat which got in the way. Never seen anything like it. He must have been pretty pissed off because he photographed the boat... oh oh!
Clouds! :-) (from the tent lying on my back)
Julie and Simon AT new years eve. We got out of bed (the tent) to usher in the new year. Well all the noise woke us up actually.. We were trying to get some sleep...
And here is what greeted us at the other end of the campsite... Bagpipes, violin, irish drum thing. Drunk people. Ok, it was quite fun actually ;-)
Somewhere near cape Foulwind... what a great name! I wonder if the weather there is often nice???
Paradise. Hokitika camping. The beach is literally beyond that bush on the left.
Hoki beach sunset.
More more.
More with tricky shooting.
And the sun goes down on Uncle Si... good night! x

Firing people is so much fun, let's all go down to Wal-Mart and lay off some cashiers.
One Texas dermatologist is so ticked off over this whole health care takeover, that he fired an employee just 'cause they voted for that Communist-Marxist-Socialist-Zoroastrian-Nigerian huckster: Obama.
Canning someone for their politics? Can't imagine any employment lawyer turning down that case.
Oh, and guess what? This pimple examiner is boasting about it over on an Aggie message board."Laid off my first Obama voting employee today. Our reimbursement rates are spiraling downward, taxes are projected to go up with Obamacare, so I did it."
Meanwhile, nothing has changed yet — except kids can remain on their parents insurance until 26 AND insurance companies cannot deny children coverage for pre-existing conditions, but gosh dangit, that Obama voter had to go. It was their vote that pushed us all over the edge. Nothing like a preemptive layoff. Let's all panic in the streets before there is anything to panic about.
Meanwhile, this medical professional apparently has hours of free time to canoodle on the A&M message board universe. This lack of patients, it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that this guy might be a crappy doctor.
UPDATE: A few readers have told us that the link is a bit hinky. Looks like they're getting a ton of traffic–WAY too much activity. Here's a screen grab of the front page. If you can click on over, the 20+ pages make for a fascinating read.

Online Reservations
The service was excellent, Morgan was our waiter and spent extra time to explain the new menu, items that he recommended as well he took the time to ensure the wine we were drinking, paired up with out food.The food was excellent right from the appetizer through to the desert.
I had a wonderful time and the dinner and servers were excellent! I strongly recommend that you go!
It's a hotel resterauant. If you order the kinda standard stuff, you'll have a standard experience. BUT the chef is excellent and creative. Get the special or any of the kinda quirky looking Southern fusion dishes. They are superb. We had salmon on Gouda-grits with lobster étouffée. It was amazing. Frie green tomato Napoleon, steamed lemon pudding also recommended. Sef ice was pleasant and attentive.
W were 5 adults and two children. Kids menu is on a view master. Service was great and our waiter and the manager catered to the kids. Food was very good as well
Excellent restaurant! We ate here twice while in atlanta because of the quality of the food and the service. If you like dessert try the homemade sweet potato doughnuts!
Was drawn by the great wariety on the menu. Food lived up to our expectations and the wait staff was so courteous ...we felt like the only 2 diners in a full restaurant! Will definitely return !!!
Fandangle`s was a wonderful dining experience. I ordered the special that was pan seared grouper, thai green curry with basmati rice and cilantro. It was perfection. My husband had the lamb shank which was just okay for me. It needed more seasoning in my opinion but the meat was extremely tender. The staff was warm and interactive with my 13 month old.
I am in love with this restaurant! Outstanding service (thank you Morgan) & management (thank you Karim)!! EVERYTHING is great! A wonderful ambiance & late night find hidden in the Sheraton Hotel downtown Atlanta! They are open until midnight!!! Nice bar & lounge area to boot! Started with the fried green tomatoes & arugula salad. GREAT! Ended with the fresh fish special Grouper in Ginger Chili sauce for the hubby & the GINORMOUS seared scallops with amazing cheese grits( & that's saying something for the South)!!! FABULOUS! We were "treated" to a very lovely & light palate cleansing desert of berries & citrus cake. CANNOT WAIT TO RETURN & BRING FRIENDS!!!
wonderful meal, attentive staff much better than expected given the location
All previous reviews of this restaurant are right on point. Ambiance, great menu, food is presented beautifully and taste great. the price is so right. The menu catered to quite a few, vegan and gluten free. Nice! Nothing was left on our plates. Conversation was limited while we consumed our food. In addition, not much sharing going on. We were in to our plates. I looked up to request a sample of my husband's White Chili Bean soup and it was gone, (smh). On this particular night our server was a little over the top and seemed distracted not only to us but the fellow patrons in his zone. We definitely would visit this place again and have already recommended it to others.
Good food, Good Service, Good Time, The food was fantastic. The service was excellent, Tony accommodated our every need. The Brisket burger was tender, flavorful and plated wonderfully. The shrimp wrapped in Bacon was great as was the Grown Ups Grill Cheese! I added bacon. Enjoy!
This restaurant was incredibly accommodating to my gluten intolerance. Not only did I have a fabulous gluten free pizza and dessert, but they also thought to bring me gluten free bread at the start of the meal (which most restaurants forget). The food was awesome and our server Morgan was just fantastic. We went again later in the week just for the bar and were not disappointed!
Wait staff was excellent and food was very delicious! We visited this restaurant on a weekend getaway and it was a great pick! I was surprised that there was not more people in the restaurant because it was delicious. If you are a vegetarian or someone that is gluten conscious, then I would highly recommend it. They set the menu up in such a way that it has the items on the menu divided into vegetarian options and gluten free options so you don't have to search or wonder if what you are ordering fits with your diet.
We had such a great experience on Friday night we returned again on Sat even though we were at another hotel a subway stop away. They have a separate gluten free section with a substantial selection including wonderful Pizza and Pasta with excellent grilled chicken for appetizer the Bean chili was great as well as the salads. What made it even more special was our waiter Morgan for both nights. This definitely worth a trip Gluten free or otherwise
Interesting, well-executed menu, good bar, wonderful service (kudos to Morgan).
Suitable for colleagues at a medical meeting. Although it's not a stand-alone restaurant, being on the third floor is good, away from the lobby.
This place got great reviews both on OpenTable and TripAdvisor, despite being in a hotel, so we went. The ambiance was OK, and the service acceptable, although my husband's water glass run dry. At one point, the manager came by the table and asked if we needed anything, and I said, yes, some more bread, please, He seemed peeved & brought back two small breadsticks. The first bread was very good. What the manager brought was so hard that it resembled bread put back in the oven too long, but not burned…just hard. So although our waiter was good, the overall service I had to rate lower. The food was good but not great, and cost more than the delicious meal we had at 10 Degrees South the night before. Hot sauce on both, unexpected.
The staff professional, friendly, and very welcoming! I loved their hospitality.

Page Authority (PA) and Domain Authority (DA) are two new link related metrics introduced by SEOmoz early this year (in relation to the Open Site Explorer launch).
PA and DA are said to be query-independent link metrics designed to help compare how "strong" or "authoritative" pages/domains are in terms of ranking potential.
We think Linkscape and Open Site Explorer are both great tools and use them in our everyday work but we are careful not to overly rely on other people's work without taking the time to ensure it is robust and reliable.
We have there taken a closer look at the Page Authority and Domain Authority metrics and accept the fact that the correlation between Google rankings and PA/DA is not perfect. Rand Fishkin (of SEOmoz) and Will Critchlow (of Distilled) talk about a 70% correlation to Google's rankings (see video part 2).
Our main concern comes from our findings of inconsistencies and our inability to identify whether these inconsistencies are because we're in some edge case for one reason or another.
Even if SEOmoz are unable to post mechanics behind the PA/DA metrics it'd be useful to know the situations in which they are most likely to be unreliable.
Not knowing how exactly DA is construed would not be that bad if the results didn't deviate too much out of what we expect them to be. The problem is, we have seen some pretty weird DA scorings throughout the last months and our trust in the new metrics has been somewhat undermined.
Take a look at two examples – one (what we believe to be) an underestimate and one a severe overestimate.
Comparison of link-metrics for MyGoudDiet.com and BrisbaneTimes.com.au (Open Site Explorer report)
The link portfolio of this domain can be described in one word: BAD. The website has back-links from 8 domains. All of the links we checked were no-followed (usually blog comment links).
The Page Authority of the main page is 37, while the Domain Authority is a whopping 67! For comparison, SEOmoz.org has a DA of 64, while Google.co.uk has a DA of 50. Sweet, isn't it?
Here is a list of some of the website's available link metrics:
We submitted this example about two weeks ago to the SEOmoz team (we didn't get back any comments on it though).
The Brisbane Times on the other hand has a quite impressive link portfolio:
What is its Domain Authority score? 39.
This seems way too low, but can partly be explained by the fact that PA/DA is supposingly not that accurate for local (non-US) websites. When compared with a larger array of Australian websites, the DA score still seems strange.
We've made a few more guesses as to why this might be happening, but they are just that – our guesses. Until we get some meaningful feedback from the SEOmoz team we're a bit sceptical of using the new OSE metrics in everyday work.
Have you been using the Domain and Page Authority metrics? If so, we'd love to see your opinion in the comments below.
Suisse Gold - 28th August 2010
One site I noticed on OSE...wwwr.creditsuissegold.org Linking Root Domain: 1 - Itself! Total Links : 12 !! Domain Authority: 100!!!!
jose leite - 9th October 2010
I do not use those metrics to check the links. I would prefer to check indexed pages and PR instead of evaluating the DA or PA. Also check the inbound links in Google (also not perfect) but at least you'll not live with a maybe wrong data info. Jose Leite
Nemek - 11th October 2010
I agree with you Jose that looking at raw link-related metrics seems to be more helpful in many cases. I've found the number of linking root domains to be a useful indicator (in combination with Page Rank data it can be used to spot sites penalized for link selling).
Royur - 17th October 2010
Hmm... When I check the data, its different from yours... My Linkscape data show mygoutdiet.com DA: 11 and brisbane.com.au DA: 79
Nemek - 10th November 2010

Update on BLUE TELEPHONE:
After talking with Corey about it earlier today, we kind of settled on what the final mission was.
In the meantime leading up to that, there is also a single here for you to listen to. It's called "WAKE UP CALLING". You may remember I posted the poem/lyrics to it on here awhile back. Now you'll get to hear it in all of its BLUE TELEPHONE glory….shortly…
The video is being processed and yada yada yada, you know how it goes. In the meantime, I think I'll share the album artwork with you.
"I'm afraid that the insomnia has come back my dear."
