Except that mine are not, for a limited time, 75% off. Since I don’t charge for mine.
I did my first model shoot last night with the Seattle Flickrites Meetup.com group. It was a blast! I’ve only processed a small portion of the shots, but here are a couple that I really like so far:
Amy was an awesome sport and let me experiment with motion. This was the best motion capture of the night and possibly my favorite shot of the night as well.
I had to blow the background out in Lightroom with this shot, which killed the green dress. So I had to adjust the greens to get her dress back to the green I remembered. All in all, it turned out really well, I think.
First, they say she’s 44, but I checked her wikipedia.org page and she’s actually 61. And then I thought, “Holy crap, she’s 61?! She’s been hiding that from us all along! What is she, maybe 16 years younger than McCain and he’s, what, 105, so that means Hillary has to be … uh, lemme check my math … 134!”
Wait.
Crap, my math is wrong somewhere. Anyway, she’s not 44.
On the night Obama lost South Dakota (Obama’s own projections had him winning South Dakota by 15 percent) he spoke in the same hall in which Mondale conceded to the Reagan landslide.

Obviously speaking in the same hall where someone gave their concession speech 300 years ago means you’re automatically going to lose your run for the Presidency in five months. So. Obvious.
That Democrats, many who have never voted for a Republican or nightmared about voting for a Republican, to say they will vote for a Republican is shocking and foreshadows doom for the Democratic?

I think the author had a seizure. Good thing MS Word comes with a spell-checker. I know I would use a spell-checker after suffering a seizure while writing. And I’m not making fun of people who have seizures. I know many people who have them. Some of my best friends are seizure sufferers. Some of my best friends use spell check. Anyway, inanity aside, three angry Hillary supporters in Kansas screaming to the rooftops that they’ll vote for McCain out of spite does not an election decide.
No tears nor surrender came from the voters of South Dakota either. No matter how much Big Media insisted Obama was the nominee the people voted for Hillary. Big Media cannot force feed Obama to “bitter” small town America.

I had a Big Media extra value meal for lunch today. It came with a side of Obamafries. They were mechanically separated and crammed into my cake hole. It was delicious. I gained 13 ounces from one meal and then watched my Tivo of Oprah. I will admit, though, I felt bitter about them forgetting to put ice in my delicious corn-filled coke.
Ask Hillary to fight for every vote - including the votes stolen from the voters in Michigan and Florida. Tell Hillary we will not accept the precedent set by the Rules Committee awarding votes to a candidate that was not on the ballot and taking votes away from her which the voters of Michigan entrusted to her worthy care.

This is the part on GI Joe where we stop being polite and start gettin’ real.
History can be re-written so fast sometimes that I forget whether or not the Red Sox have ever won the Series. Hillary is a member of the Democratic Party and, as such, is subject to the party’s rules. As an independent who cares not a whit for their rules, I find them silly and banal at best, but there it is — she uses their money, she follows their rules. And their rules were, “no one campaigns in Florida and Michigan because they broke our rules.” So no one did. Obama took his name off the Michigan ballot while following the rules. Hillary left her name on the ballot and though she received a simple majority of votes (56%) the categories of #2 Uncommitted (31%) and #3 Undecided (9%) were most assuredly partly for Obama (especially when one considers voters were being told to select Uncommitted if they wanted to vote for Obama) and there were a great deal of Obama supporters who didn’t vote because their candidate wasn’t on the ballot (remember, he was following the rules?). As for Florida, Hillary and Obama both didn’t campaign as was requested by the Democratic Party, but Hillary swooped in immediately following the results and claimed victory for a state that neither candidate was allowed to campaign in. To quote Wikipedia:
On August 31, officials from the four approved early-voting states asked all the candidates to pledge not to campaign or participate in Florida, and all the major candidates signed the pledge. Despite the pledge, the major candidates remained on the ballot, as Florida rules do not allow candidates to remove their names without withdrawing completely from the general election.
And to further quote Hillary’s then campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle:
We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process…. We believe the DNC’s rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role. Thus, we will be signing the pledge to adhere to the DNC approved nominating calendar.
Votes stolen me arse.
I’d post all this on your website, HillaryIs61.com, but it seems you ban anyone with a contrary opinion. Yikes.
Hopefully, in a few months time, the supporters at HillaryIs61.com will have calmed down, taken a deep breath to return their skin to a normal, fleshy skin tone after holding their breath for so long, and realize that supporting a candidate who has said the War in Iraq could last another ONE HUNDRED YEARS and who has admitted in public that he doesn’t under economics just to spite Obama would be insane.
We can do better in Washington D.C. We can have new leadership in Washington D.C., leadership that will lift this country’s spirits and raise our sights. George P. knows what thousands of other youngsters know, that just because the White House has let us down in the past, that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen in the future. George P. joins us in a campaign that’s going to restore honor and dignity to the White House.

I run a freelance marketing firm. We bought a camera so I can add photography to the list of services we provide. I’m taking classes and studying a variety of photo websites. I went out and took my first photos this evening using the newly found skills. Shots taken on a Canon EOS 40D. Enjoy! (And look for frequently updated photos over there —-> in my Flickr sidebar.)

They named their drug ASS EFFECTS.
Or, to get grammatically nerdy, they could’ve named their drug ASS AFFECTS. Which would look like this:

Either way, they have the worst marketing department ever. And I’m in marketing, so I know.
From their website:
Millions of people get heartburn from time to time. But if you’re experiencing it on a regular basis, your body is trying to tell you something is wrong.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - “Saturday Night Live” veteran Jimmy Fallon has sealed a deal to succeed “Late Night” host Conan O’Brien on NBC in 2009, sources said.
O’Brien, whose show airs at 12:35 a.m., is moving to Los Angeles next year to replace Jay Leno at “The Tonight Show,” which airs an hour earlier.
Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years imprisonment last night for his “brazen defiance” of the US taxman.
The 45-year-old Hollywood actor, who has starred in films including Blade, White Men Can’t Jump and Demolition Man, was given the maximum sentence possible after prosecutors described him to a court in Ocala, Florida, as a “truly notorious offender.” He did not have to go to prison immediately but must surrender to custody at a later date.
Good thing Snipes is trained for this sort of thing.
CHICAGO (AP) — Oprah might want to nail down her furniture.
Tom Cruise is slated to return to “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” three years after a couch-jumping appearance.
Tom Cruise is scheduled to return to “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” nearly three years after a couch-jumping appearance that spawned countless YouTube parodies and late-night jokes.
The women in the audience should be ashamed of themselves. They’ve made an ass out of women in general. The best part is when “Oprah” turns into “Jerry” and Tom Cruise literally manhandles Katie onto the stage. Speaking of the parodies:
Which of course parodied the most ridiculous episode of the most ridiculous show on television, the OC:
The Pentagon-sponsored study, scheduled for release later this week, did confirm that Saddam’s regime provided some support to other terrorist groups, particularly in the Middle East , U.S. officials told McClatchy . However, his security services were directed primarily against Iraqi exiles, Shiite Muslims, Kurds and others he considered enemies of his regime.
The new study of the Iraqi regime’s archives found no documents indicating a “direct operational link” between Hussein’s Iraq and al Qaida before the invasion, according to a U.S. official familiar with the report.
