Rocker Courtney Love and her daughter are talking again after years of estrangement – via Twitter.com.
Frances Bean Cobain took to the social networking site to send mom a sweet tweet over Christmas – and it made her mother's holiday season.
Love opened up the correspondence with a hopeful, "Merry Christmas Bean!! love you more than you could ever know. xmamma." And she was thrilled when her daughter responded with a simple "merry Christmas kooksmcgee."
The Hole rocker was filled with emotion and tweeted back, "that tweet was the best gift ever, its all I need even if its a dammed social network miss that little head of yours… that beautiful little head, and those long legs."
Love then told her daughter she was trying to quit smoking with the aid of electronic cigarettes, adding, "am trying these new e-cigs, the @njoyecigs so far are the best ones ive tried. maybe they should pay us for this plug?"
Cobain didn't respond further, but the simple festive greeting to mom prompted Love to conclude, "proudest mama in the world thank you Bean. means the world to me."
Mother and daughter have been estranged since December 2009, when a judge at the California Superior Court in Los Angeles appointed Wendy O'Connor, Cobain's grandmother, and her aunt Kimberly Cobain temporary co-guardians, while Love battled substance abuse issues.

"Stalk for "stock", as in "laughing stalk" and "livestalk", is already in the Eggcorn Database:
Here's a slight variation I stumbled upon today: "I can look past the fact that Hugh Jackman is too tall and not stalky enough, but I just don't buy into him as a tough guy." (from a discussion about Jackman's playing Wolverine, a stockily-built comics character, on the Rotten Tomatoes movie website)
A questionable candidate for Eggcornicity, to my way of thinking, because the actual meanings of "stalky" and "stocky" are practically exact opposites! By extension, I'm not at all sure that "stalk" for "stock", as mentioned above, should be in the Eggcorn Database. To think that some of my far superior eggcorn suggestions are ignored by the powers that be while questionable eggcorns like this are enshrined on the official eggcorn list—preposterous! Sputter rant whine choke!!!!! (falls on floor, twitching)...
I like stalky for stocky, Dixon. We can either put it in the snuff box of those substitutions that are complete contradictions, or more reasonably, assume that the perps are thinking of sturdy, stocky stalks.
I see that this entry is in Eggcornology, so I guess I should eggcornologize. I've never been overly disturbed by the distinction between the forum and the database. I can understand that those with the skeleton keys to the database don't have time to sort through all the asundery1 and assordid2 posts on this forum, and document and format them all nicely. They use the database as a kind of secret door into the forum to submit the occasional contender without great fanfare. I'm a Database descriptivist I guess. Without, I hope, being compleasant3.
I know, Conservatives ( and there for Republicans) are a threat to peace and will cause killings and other asundery mayhem.
It's true, the Conservatives are there for Republicans.
Looking for a rare bullfighter movie w/Luciana Paluzzi called Wounds of Hunger. Good LORD! If I can find Disco Fever w/Fabian, and other
assordid titles, why can't I find Wounds of Hunger?
This is impossible when people are being conditioned through the media to be compleasant, idealize and never question the system.

This protest called for the boycott of products coming from Israel, and asked the French government to revise their relationship with the state of Israel (they accuse them to be too compleasant with the Israelis).

There you go again, David (). Burying perfectly good eggcorns in your post responses. Compleasant for complacent is great.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Quite frankly (to use that other verbal badge of politicianhood), it's true I spend far more time at this than is normal or healthy (I already have glasses; can I stop when I need a stronger prescription?). I'm with you on the goodness of compleasant as an eggcorn. I submitted it in a reply for a couple of reasons. First, to create the impression that I toss aside great eggcorns casually, without a care in the world. Second, because using it in a reply comes with no obligation to document or elucidate it. Without looking into it, the etiology of the word complacent seemed confusing, if not fraught. Sleuthery shows that it has for hundreds of years, while undergoing changes in meaning. Further, it coexists in my head with the French form, complaisant, which makes compleasant a no-brainer. I venture into the Eggcornology forum only with trepidation, bearing in mind the

Director Spike Lee has urged fans of his incarcerated pal Wesley Snipes to write to the actor to keep his spirits up as he serves time behind bars.
The filmmaker paid the Blade star a visit on Monday at the Pennsylvania prison where he is currently serving a three-year sentence for tax evasion, and revealed that Snipes is "in great shape mentally, physically and spiritually".
But Lee is encouraging the actor's devotees not to forget about him while he's out of the spotlight and suggests they send him notes to keep him entertained.
In a Twitter.com post on Thursday, he writes, "Send Your Prayers And Blessings To Our Brother Mr.Wesley Snipes.Your Letters Will Mean The World To Him."
Snipes has always maintained his innocence and insists he was duped by tax advisors.

The 2010 high school cheer competition season ended where the Buford High School squad wanted to be, but not the way the BHS girls wanted to finish.
The Yellow Jackets team placed 13th out of 14 teams in the state championship cheer competition held at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville last month.
Buford High, the Conference IV-AA cheer champion, entered the state finals as the Lower State champion, its second in four years.

The last time I considered the constant cadence approximation as it applies to circular chainrings. Recall the principal issue is that
the constant cadence approximation makes the following assumption for each pedal stroke:
<τ × ω> = <τ> × <ω>
where ω is the angular velocity of the pedals, τ is the propulsive torque, and brackets signify a time-average.
The error from this approximation is obviously:
<τ> × <ω> − <τ × ω>
which is fairly trivially shown to equal:
− <(τ - <τ>) × (ω − <ω>)>
which is proportional to the correlation coefficient between torque and angular frequency, where a positive correlation results in an underestimation of power.
Angular frequency is proportional to what I refer to as "instantaneous cadence": the rate at which the crank arms are revolving.
So the issue comes down to whether the instantaneous cadence is correlated with applied torque, or similarly, if it's correlated with applied power (assuming applied power fluctuations are due more to torque changes than cadence changes). When plotting one value versus the other, circles represent linearly uncorrelated relationships. Diagonal lines represent linearly correlated relationships. With round chainrings the plots of power versus rpm were roughly circular as long as the rider wasn't rapidly accelerating, so the constant cadence approximation worked fairly well.
But here I'll look at non-round chainrings. Non-round chainrings are typically designed to correlate torque with pedal rotation rate, so they become immediately suspect for the constant cadence approximation.
Consider a rider pedaling in a high-inertial condition. The rear hub is turning at a certain rate, the chain is moving at a certain rate, and thus the front crank is rotating at a rate inversely proportional to the radius at which the chain contacts the front chainring at the top (the top run determining the rotation rate of the rear wheel, although typically the top and bottom radii would be essentially the same). Modern eccentric rings are typically designed to slow the chain where the pedal stroke has maximal power, and increase the chain speed where the pedal stroke has minimal power (Biopace was a bit different). This increases the time the rider spends with the cranks at a more favorable angle and decreases the time with the cranks near dead spots relative to a round chainring at the same average cadence.
To model an eccentric chainring, I need to pick a shape. For simplicity, I assume the radius has a cosine-dependence on the angle, with two peaks and two valleys around the chainring circle. The radius of the amplitude of this cosine to the mean radius of the chainring I define as the "eccentricity". An eccentricity of 0 defines a circular chainring, while an eccentricity of 10% defines a ring where the effective number of teeth varies from 10% below to 10% above the number of teeth in a ring with the same mean radius. So a round ring with 50 teeth would be roughly comparable to a ring with 10% eccentricity where the instantaneous gear ratio varied from an effective 45 tooth front to a 55 tooth front, approximately.
Here's a comparison of chainring shapes with eccentricities of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. 20% is fairly extreme, clearly: the front derailleur would face a substantial challenge with such an eccentric ring.
In contrast, here's Tour de France winner Chris Froome's rings, which are clearly eccentric, but not as extreme as my 20% case. According to Osymmetric, their commercially available big-ring corresponds to an eccentricity of 7%. I think Froome's rings are custom, however.
Chris Froome's rings (CyclingNews)
I'll look at the power-versus-rpm contours for the pedaling simulation, taking only the ninth full pedal stroke. Here's the result for a flat road with a rider going 80 rpm:
With round rings, the cadence is fairly constant: the inertia of the bike carries the feet through the dead spots. But the effect of the eccentric rings is profound. With the largest radius roughly aligned with the positions of maximum power application, the cadence drops to a minimum when power is at a maximum. The rings are working as designed. But it's clear there's now a strong correlation between cadence and power. There's also a correlation between cadence and torque (not plotted).
Now I consider a second case: where the rider is grinding up a 20% grade at 50 rpm. Here's that result:
There's now considerable cadence variation through the pedal stroke with the round rings, but for each power, there's a high and low value with roughly the same average. The linear correlation is thus relatively small. With the eccentric rings, the shapes becomes more diagonal. The correlation is much stronger.
This negative linear correlation results in an overestimation of power, as was shown in the equations. Here's an example, pedaling on level ground accelerating from 40 rpm to 120 rpm with a 20% eccentric chainring. Note the rider only gets to 97 rpm during these pedal strokes.

Note torque is nonstandard units here. The power is overestimated consistently, only 6.3% the first pedal stroke, but increasing to 10% the last pedal stroke of the 12.
Here's the root mean square error versus eccentricity for this case and two others. In each case the power is generally overestimated (although root mean square doesn't indicate if the error is positive or negative). The more eccentric the chainring, the worse the error:
The conclusion here is the constant cadence approximation simply doesn't work for eccentric chainrings. It's possible to make some other, chainring-specific approximation which will allow for better results. But then if the user switches back to round rings the power would be underestimated. Better is to sample cadence on a detailed basis around the pedal stroke, then chainring shape shouldn't matter. Power2Max claims to do this. Perhaps Rotor does, since one hopes they work with their own eccentric chainrings, although they may simply have a different calibration setting for their rings. I'm not sure of any other.

As the lockout is drawing to a close with new CBA now being written and ratified, a process that should take a couple of days or a week, here's a quick thought of the team that might lose the most with its locked out NHL players leaving.
You might be surprised, but the team doesn't come from the KHL, which has played home to many NHLers during the lockout. I believe that the team feeling the loss of its NHLers will be Rauman Lukko from the Finnish SM-Liiga.
Lukko and the town of Rauma, Finland was home to Dallas Stars' defence man Philip Larssen, Phoenix Coyotes' forward Mikkel Boedker and New York Islanders centre Frans Nielsen. The Danish trio has been instrumental for Lukko, who are 10th in the league at the moment. Boedker, at the time of leaving the team was its top point scorer after amassing 21 goals and 12 assists in 29 games (as reference, SM-Liiga's top point scorer Ilari Filppula has scored 15 goals and 31 assists in 35 games). Edit: After Sunday's games, Mikkel Boedker was the leading goal scorer in SM-Liiga with his 21 goals.
Lukko's offence has not been the best and the Danish NHL players were a real boost to the team during their time in FInland. Where Boedker, Larsson and Nielsen might not be considered as the most prolific NHL players in terms of their point production, their impact in the Finnish league is a good indication of their capability. Where the KHL has played host to players such as Kovalchuck, Ovechkin, Malkin (who has been on fire of late), I still think that the impact of losing such core elements from Lukko makes it perhaps the biggest losers out of the NHL lockout.

Baby Bella Mushroom Tart Recipe
Making savory tarts doesn't require a specific recipe. The basic dish consists of a puff pastry shell filled with your favorite mixture and topped with vegetables. I had Baby Bella mushrooms on hand, so I made a version using them along with an artichoke pesto.
The pesto is a combination of artichoke hearts, lemon, garlic, pine nuts and olive oil. To soften the pesto, I added mascarpone cheese. I topped the tart with the Baby Bella mushrooms and roasted red bell peppers. Cheddar cheese was the finishing touch so the filling formed one piece.
Yields: 10 savory tarts6 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped
¼ cup pine nuts, slightly toasted
1 lemon, zested and freshly squeezed
1 clove fresh garlic, finely minced
1-½ teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon white pepper, freshly ground
6 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
10 baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
1 small roasted red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced
10 (5" x 5") squares puff pastry dough (store-bought), thawed
2/3 cup cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
4 tablespoons sweet basil, finely snipped
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cooking the onions: In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onions. Cook until nicely golden and tender (it may take 5-7 minutes). Transfer to a plate, leaving as much oil as possible in the pan. Set aside.
Prepping the mushrooms: In the same pan, add the baby Bella mushrooms and sauté until softened. Add the roasted bell peppers and 1 tablespoon basil. Set aside.
Making artichoke pesto: Place the artichokes, onions, pine nuts, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until it forms a paste. Slowly add the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut and place the puff pastry dough into oiled individual tart molds (you could also use a large tart mold). Prick the dough with a fork to prevent it from rising too much. Cover with parchment paper and top with ceramic pie weights (or dried beans).
Place the molds on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then lower the temperature to 375°F and bake for another 10 minutes, rotating them half-way through so they cook evenly. The texture of the puff pastry should be very flaky. Remove and discard the pie weights (or dried beans) and the parchment paper.
Assembly time:
Using a spatula, mix the artichoke pesto with the mascarpone cheese. Set aside.
Place about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the artichoke pesto mixture in each mold. Top with slices of baby Bella mushrooms and bell peppers. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 375°F.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 10 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Before serving, garnish with more Cheddar cheese (if you like) and basil.
Bon appétit!
I used shredded cheddar cheese. You could replace with any "stringy", melty cheeses such as Gruyère, Emmentaler or mozzarella.
Baby Bella mushrooms are young, smaller-sized Portobello mushrooms. They're also known as Crimini mushrooms.
You can create a large tart if you don't have individual molds.
Don't discard the pastry remnants. Make some cheese twists the next day!Published By: on September 16, 2011.

If a 2-wheeled ride is your thing, these practical pathways may be of interest. The following trails with a kick are giving an update to the old school bike path. First, from Studio Roosegaarde and Heijmans, this lustrously presented lane is located in Nuenen, Netherlands. Called the Van Gogh-Roosegaarde Bicycle Path, it offers a lane of entertaining space just begging to be trekked on. The illuminated track is a nod to the world famous painting, The Starry Night from artist Vincent van Gogh, who reportedly resided in the area during the years of 1883 to 1885.

How gold smuggling in India is connected to the rise of gold demand?
Gold smuggling is nothing new to India; this precious metal is very popular there. It is widely known that nobody wears as much golden jewelry at one time as Indian girls do. Mostly it is observed in weddings as it is impossible to imagine an Indian bride without plenty of golden jewels.
As people jokingly say about the wedding season in India, it can be identified with the rising gold prices in the world market. This tendency hasn't just been observed now. Apart from that, the demand for gold has always been high in India due to gold is an essential part of the Indian culture.
The rise of customs duty of 2013 has sharply increased the amount of smuggled goods in India. The latest famous smuggle has been just recorded and it comprises 87 kg of gold. As reported in the media, contrabandists tried to smuggle goods across a border of Myanmar, but the final destination was Calcutta. A previous famous case of smuggle was to bring 60 kg of gold into India.
What conclusion can be made out of it?
The conclusion is that the demand for gold has been growing!
Gold has always been and it is still being considered a safe haven asset to protect wealth during severe economic periods. People of India, where gold has traditionally been a precious commodity, have a good understanding of that. The clients of Emgoldex also have a good understanding of that, and that is why they are using an opportunity to save and multiply their assets with the help of this safe haven. The clients of Emgoldex have gained confidence in the future owing to the creation of their own gold business!
Share this news with your friends, and keep track of the latest events in the world of gold and the best opportunity to buy gold!

High on the plateau above the New Haven River overlooking the village of Bristol rests a fertile 11-acre hay meadow with spectacular views of Deerleap Mountain, the Bristol Cliffs, Bristol's downtown and views west toward the Adirondacks. With a thin row of trees bordering the meadow on two sides and high mountains at its back, the site is as picturesque as it gets in Vermont — and that's pretty special.
But the purpose of a site visit this past Monday at this scenic location, wasn't to admire the view and imagine the good fortune that 25 or 30 families might have if a residential neighborhood were established there in the distant future, or in the similarly sized wooded section that borders the meadow on the south side. Rather, the District 9 Environmental Commission held a public site visit to give its members, Bristol residents and others an opportunity to walk the site and learn the details of a proposed gravel pit that would excavate untold hundreds of thousands of tons of gravel for the next 35 or more years.
The questions answered during the site visit were of a technical nature: if the access road goes here, how will the traffic flow; what landscaping will be done to hide the cut into the woods; what will be done to mitigate the noise, gravel dust and visual scars to the land; where will the digging begin, how will it proceed? They talked about 200-foot setbacks and test pits and the steepness of access and egress roads.
But the central question of whether a conditional use permit should be granted to allow the significant parcel to be mined as a gravel pit or left, as some argue the town's municipal plan suggests, as a residential area for future growth was not discussed.
It is, however, the question Bristol residents should reconsider in a public process.
Today's front-page headline is a stunner: Middlebury College pledges $9 million to help the town build the long-discussed Cross Street Bridge. As a gift to the town, it's huge and most generous. But the bigger story is the message behind the gift — it's a new era in town-gown relations that promises a greater degree of cooperation and interaction to the benefit of both.
And that's terrific.
This new era is punctuated by several factors:
• The current generation of students are doers, says Middlebury College President Ron Liebowitz, and the college campus may not be big enough for them throughout their four-year stint. Interaction with the town and area communities allows them to spread their wings, pursue interests off campus, provide valuable services and gain an understanding of community outside the college.

2014 Indiske Chief Classic: MD Ride anmeldelse …
2014 Indiske Chief Classic: MD Ride Review After spending several days riding the three new Indian Chief models in Sturgis at the product launch (which we reported on here ), we asked Indian if we could have a Chief Classic for an evaluation here in Southern California on familiar roads. Obviously, our report from the Sturgis launch was very positive with regard to all three models, including the Classic, Vintage (soft bags) and Chieftain (hard bagger with integrated fairing and stereo). All three bikes share the same engine and chassis (although the Chieftain has slightly different steering geometry). We chose to further test the Classic, which is the essence of the new Indian. We won't ...Læs hele artiklen »
US Road Trip on an Indian Chief
US Road Trip on an Indian Chief US Road Trip on an Indian Chief Image courtesy of Wolfgang Bertsch Taking a classic motorcycle on a road trip can be challenging; taking one on another continent can be even more so. But that's what Wolfgang Bertsch did in 2012 when he brought his 1940 Indian Chief all the way from Germany to the USA. Since the Indian was restored in 1977, Wolfgang has covered 46,875 trouble-free miles on it, so bringing it to the US for a road trip did not faze him. Wolfgang estimated that his planned trip would be around 5,000 miles and would take in Orlando, Miami, Key West, the Everglades, the Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans, Memphis, the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway, Washington, ...Læs hele artiklen »

Troops-to-Teachers (II-C-1-A)
The Troops-to-Teachers program encourages former military personnel to become classroom teachers. The program recruits eligible participants and provides them with referral and placement services as well as financial assistance for teaching in high-need schools. The purpose of this program is to help relieve teacher shortages, especially in high-need areas such as math, science and special education; provide positive role models for public school students; and assist former military personnel in making the transition to teaching as a second career. To date, more than 4,300 teachers have been hired through the program, in every state and in more than 2,000 school districts.
WHAT'S NEW--The No Child Left Behind Act
Increases Accountability for Student Performance
- Requires the secretary of education (along with the secretaries of defense and transportation, and the comptroller general of the United States) to submit to Congress no later than March 31, 2006, a report on the effectiveness of the program in the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel by local school districts and public charter schools. The report must include information about the number of participants, the schools in which they are employed, the grade levels and academic subjects they teach, and retention rates.
How It Works
Troops-to-Teachers provides support and financial services to former military personnel interested in becoming teachers. The program is administered by the Department of Defense through the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) under a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Department of Education.
Key Requirements
The program is funded through the U.S. Department of Education, which transfers the funds to the Department of Defense DANTES office. Troops-to-Teachers itself does not provide participants with preservice training to become certified teachers; rather, the program provides guidance on how to obtain certification, maintains a nationwide teacher referral system, has placement offices in 24 states, and provides participants with lists of district vacancies. Participants receive a stipend of up to $5,000 to pay for certification costs or a bonus of $10,000 if they teach full-time in a high-need school as an elementary, secondary, vocational or technical teacher for at least three years.
How It Achieves Quality
According to a Troops-to-Teachers survey conducted in 1998, the program has successfully recruited significant numbers of men and minorities to teaching. For example, 90 percent of Troops-to-Teachers participants are male and 29 percent are minorities, compared to 26 percent and 13 percent, respectively, on a national level. Troops-to-Teachers participants are also more likely than teachers on a national level to teach in shortage subject areas, such as mathematics, science and special education, and to teach or be willing to teach in inner cities and rural areas.
How Quality Is Measured
The quality of the program will be measured by its progress in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel. This progress will be reported to Congress by March 31, 2006.
Key Activities For The State Education Agencies
State education agencies may participate in the following activities:
- Operate Troops-to-Teachers recruitment offices.
- Identify and coordinate activities with high-need school districts.
- Implement Innovative Preretirement Teacher Certification Program grants during years in which this program is implemented.

On Drawing in Flash
Your only hope for good line quality drawing in Flash is if you set the zoom at 400%. With the pencil tool the line adjusts for the zoom, but unfortunately with the brush tool you need to choose a different size brush if you're at a different zoom level. There's a setting for automatic smoothing- I keep it at 20 at present time because I'm on a non smooth jag, no pun intended!
Here are a few tips you may not have followed:
You can select the drawing and turn on the outlines button, in order to draw it better. Try drawing a brush drawing with the pencil.
Notice above the gray layer outline square shows an outline now, not a solid.
So I draw over it on a separate layer, keeping the outline layer locked so I don't accidentally draw into that and annoy myself.
wow look how smooth that pencil line looks compared to the old wobbly brush. Another thing nice about the pencil line is it makes fill easier, especially when you want to make changes.
Now we're going to try to get thick and thin elegance. You'll be better at this than I am.
Highlight the pencil drawing and then go to Modify> Shape>Convert Line to Fills. Maybe it's like this in Illustrator but I could never figure out that program.
Then you can drag out sections of the line to your thick thin desire. People who do this a lot get really good at it, but for me it slows the animation process down too much, and since most of what I'm doing now ends up on youtube, they don't notice stuff like elegant lines there.
ANEEta, your CHIN is quite LOVELY!

This is great. Thanks. Yes, I'm trying to use Illustrator after starting out in Freehand. It's always been the spontaneity of drawing I loved, but this is a wonderful look you've achieved.

It's always interesting to see step by step examples of how someone works, particularly when it's a creative task. Thanks for the example. I'm gonna see if I can pull any of those tricks in Painter.

Is Painter Vector or Bitmap? I know Illustrator is vector, but not as rigid as it used to be. I don't know Freehand at all. I'm surprised neither of you has used Flash.
- Sep 16, 2007, 1:39:00 PM
- linda said...
SO interesting! But to me, your shapes themselves (and your color, too) is so interesting that the thick and thin line is almost beside the point.
What I'm doing is drawing my shapes completely in illustrator and importing them into Flash. I'm not using line at the moment. I'm discovering that you can rotate and distort those imported shapes any way you want to, and that you can even change the color.
I really like drawing in Illustrator. It's hard for me to draw in Flash, but I'd like to learn, so please don't stop with the Flash cartooning instruction! Maybe I really do need to be using a (black) line, because I'm having trouble getting my critter (a tiny rat) to show up "on top" of video that is already shot. But since he's already in use without the black line, it seems wrong to use an outline sometimes and sometimes not. What do you think?
- Sep 16, 2007, 4:26:00 PM
- Sally said...
Linda, Send me a screenshot if you can. It shouldn't require the black line. Is there enough contrast between the character and the background? Sounds as if they may need to do some manipulation of the back plate for character to work on it. Also maybe he shouldn't be so tiny?
- Sep 16, 2007, 6:04:00 PM
- Namowal said...
Painter is Bitmap. You can make vector shapes too, but if you just draw a line it's a bitmap. You can convert lines to vector shapes and edit the splines (like Anita's chin in your example) if you need to.
Between your cartoons and tutorials, Flash is starting to sound like a very good idea... :)

The Sordid History Of News Corp.'s Roger Ailes
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In light of the ongoing News Corp. scandal, Media Matters offers a look at Fox News president Roger Ailes' record on race and long history of right-wing extremism.
Ailes' Troubling Record On Race
Ailes Reportedly Looked For A "Wallaceite Cab-Driver" To Bring Up Race At Town Hall. Fox News' frequent racially charged attempts to foment opposition to President Obama echo Ailes' decades-long record of stoking racial fears and biases while serving as a media consultant for Republican political campaigns. While working for Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign, Ailes reportedly suggested Nixon participate in a televised town hall and take a question from a "good, mean, Wallaceite cab-driver ... Some guy to sit there and say, 'Awright, Mac, what about these niggers?" The strategy, according to Nixonland author Rick Pearlstein, was to have Nixon "abhor the uncivility of the words, while endorsing a 'moderate' version of the opinion." [Nixonland, p. 331]
Ailes Helped Craft Strategy Of Linking Dukakis To Horton. Ailes also worked on George H.W. Bush's 1988 presidential campaign and helped craft the "soft on crime" strategy of linking Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis to convicted felon Willie Horton. The chief architect of that strategy, Lee Atwater, later apologized to Dukakis for saying he would "make Willie Horton his running mate," explaining that the comment "makes me sound racist, which I am not." As the campaign drew to a close, the New York Times quoted Ailes saying of the strategy: "The only question is whether we depict Willie Horton with a knife in his hand or without it." [New York Times, 10/3/88]
Ailes' Helped Issue Attack That "Prey[ed] Upon The Fears Of The Jewish Community." In 1989, Ailes worked as a consultant to Rudy Giuliani's New York mayoral campaign and placed an ad in a prominent Yiddish newspaper that featured an image of Guiliani's opponent David Dinkins -- who would become New York City's first African-American mayor -- alongside Jesse Jackson. The ad also displayed a photo of Giuliani with then-President George H.W. Bush. The headline read: ''Let the people of New York choose their own destiny." The Washington Post reported at the time that the vice president of the American Jewish Committee called the ad a "legitimate campaign tactic," but also "troubling" because it "prey[ed] upon the fears of the Jewish community." [Media Matters, 10/27/09]
Ailes On Terror: "It's Not The Norwegians That Are Doing This. We Know Who It Is." Appearing as a panelist on ABC's This Week, Ailes said that the "safety and sovereignty of the United States" was the paramount issue facing the country" and appeared to endorse racial and religious profiling as a way to get "tough" on terrorism: "It's not the Norwegians that are doing this. We know who it is; we can't seem to say it." [ABC, This Week, 1/31/10]
Ailes' Right-Wing Politics
New York Magazine: Ailes A Key Player In GOP Politics. In a May profile of Ailes, New York magazine quoted an anonymous Republican aide saying "you can't run for the Republican nomination without talking to Roger," and noted that Ailes actively encouraged Republican Governor Chris Christie (NJ) to run for president. New York also quoted a "Republican close to Ailes" saying: "Roger is worried about the future of the country. He thinks the election of Obama is a disaster." [New York, 5/22/11]
Attacks On The Obama Administration. In keeping with his network's self-proclaimed status as "voice of opposition" to the Obama presidency, Ailes himself has launched several attacks on the Democratic administration:
- Ailes: "I See This As The Alamo." A March 6, 2009, Los Angeles Times article quoted Glenn Beck -- then just a few months into his short-lived Fox News career -- describing a meeting he had with Ailes in which the Fox News president, according to Beck, said the network was going to challenge the Obama administration. "I see this as the Alamo," Ailes said, according to Beck. [Los Angeles Times, 3/6/09]
- Ailes Attacks Obama's "Socialism." In an interview with Howard Kurtz, Ailes said that "the president has not been very successful," adding: "He had to be told by the French and the Germans that his socialism was too far left for them to deal with." Ailes continued: "He just has a different belief system than most Americans." [Daily Beast, 11/17/10]
- Ailes: The Obama Administration Is "Sort Of Tromping Around On The Constitution." Appearing on ABC in early 2010, Ailes claimed the White House "tried to ban" Fox News and in doing so was "sort of tromping around on the Constitution." [ABC, This Week, 1/31/10]
- Ailes: Obama Wants "Radical Change." Echoing the attacks of conservative pundits and Republican officials, Ailes repeatedly claimed that Obama wants "radical change" that the country will not accept: "He is enormously likable, and I think despite what everybody says, people would like him to succeed. But he came in with a belief that the radical change he wanted -- or what some people say is the radical change that he wanted -- would be widely accepted. [ABC, This Week, 1/31/10]
Ailes' "Secret Nixon-Era Blueprint For Fox News." On June 30, Gawker.com reported on an undated memo obtained from the Richard Nixon presidential library detailing "A Plan For Putting the GOP on TV News." The memo contains several handwritten notes from Ailes, then a media consultant to the Nixon White House, enthusiastically endorsing the idea and offering to run the project himself. As Gawker put it: "Aimed at sidelining the 'censorship' of the liberal mainstream media and delivering prepackaged pro-Nixon news to local television stations, [the memo] reads today like a detailed precis for a Fox News prototype." [Gawker, 6/30/11]
Ailes' Extremism
Ailes: NPR Executives "Are, Of Course, Nazis." Following Juan Williams' dismissal from NPR, Roger Ailes spoke to Howard Kurtz and blasted NPR's executives as "Nazis." According to Ailes: "They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism." [Daily Beast, 11/17/10]
Ailes Amends NPR "Nazi" Attack To "Nasty Inflexible Bigot[s]." In response to the uproar caused by his attack on NPR's executives as "Nazis," Ailes issued an apology letter to the Anti-Defamation League (not NPR) in which he wrote: "I'm writing this just to let you know some background but also to apologize for using 'Nazi' when in my now considered opinion 'nasty, inflexible bigot' would have worked better." [Media Matters, 11/18/10]
Ailes Shares Beck's "Civilian National Security Force" Conspiracy Theory. New York magazine reported in May 2011 that Ailes had told former Obama senior advisor David Axelrod "that he was concerned that Obama wanted to create a national police force." Ailes' "concern" mimicked Glenn Beck's fearmongering that Obama wanted to create his "own army" of "community organizers" to police a "thugocracy." Beck's (and Ailes') conspiratorial belief is based on a distortion of a 2008 campaign speech in which Obama called for an expansion of AmeriCorps and the Foreign Service. [Media Matters, 5/24/11]
Ailes Defends Beck's Constant Holocaust References As "Freedom Of Speech." After Glenn Beck drew condemnations from Jewish groups for smearing billionaire financier George Soros as a Nazi collaborator who helped "send the Jews" to "death camps," Ailes dismissed the furor and defended Beck's constant references to the Holocaust as "freedom of speech":
Then, in short order last fall, Beck devoted three programs to attacking Jewish financier George Soros, in part by implicating him as an agent of the Holocaust. Did Ailes take the resulting uproar seriously? "I think [News Corp. CEO] Rupert [Murdoch] got a few letters," he told Esquire. "He sent them down to me. I answer them -- I just say, Well have you ever heard of freedom of speech?
