Shower doors and shower trays are not all the same. Take the Infinity Pivot Shower Door Enclosure for example. Classically framed with a smart chrome finish with a co-ordinating square tray, it can make the difference between a 'fine' shower enclosure and a 'fabulous' one.
Great Looking Doors & Tray
Look no further. The Infinity Pivot Shower Door Enclosure is right here. The answer to creating a stunning showering area is staring you right in the face. What you see is a shower enclosure that pivots outwards (hence its name) so a simple pull/push of the handle is all it takes to open and close it. The 40mm high ABS Stone tray is easy to fit, especially as it includes waste, plinth and leg set if you need to raise it.
Quality Infinity Product
Each Infinity Pivot Shower Door Enclosure including side panel has been fitted with 6mm toughened safety glass and concealed fixings for a high spec finish. The enclosure measures D700mm x W700mm with a height of H1850mm (H1890mm overall including tray) and the door has a adjustment for out of true walls. This will allow it to fit in a space of 635mm to 695mm wide
So if your bathroom walls aren't exactly even it doesn't matter. Likewise, if you need the door to pivot to the other side (opposite of image shown) it will because it's reversible. The whole thing is most adaptable, which means it goes without saying that the Infinity Pivot Shower Door Enclosure comes with a Lifetime manufacturer's guarantee too.
For a shower door, tray and side panel that do so much more, have a look at the Infinity Pivot Shower Door Enclosure at splashdirect.com.

A lot of misinformation exists among the general public regarding genetically engineered crops.
Part of that, I'm certain, stems from organizations that are so opposed to modern agriculture that they create fear where none should exist and nurture that fear with unsubstantiated and often outlandish claims about the dire consequences associated with genetic engineering—or other farm-related activity, program or product they think is contrary to their positions.
Part of the fault, too, lies in the industry's failure to provide enough information to consumers about the benefits and advantages of transgenic research and crop development. The industry, and I include the agricultural press in this category, has done an adequate job of informing farmers of the efficiencies they can gain and the benefits they can create by adopting transgenic technology. We've all missed the boat, however, in educating the public about the advantages of genetically modified crops.
Consequently, many do not understand how GMO products are developed or used and they don't appreciate the many benefits they provide, not just to farmers and the agriculture industry but also to society at large. People tend to fear what they don't understand.
I recently received an email that points out how little the general public understands about transgenic technology.
The initial email read: "Mr. Smith-are you for real promoting Monsanto & their GMO seed with Roundup in it? Seriously-do you want your kids/grandkids to have deformities because herbicides are in the seeds that grow veggies, corn, wheat-then spread around as feed for cattle & other animals. All the companies involved in this need to stop promoting this GMO crap & stop getting $ from Monsanto to promote GMO seeds. Disgusting."
Where to begin?
I often just let these nonsensical assaults alone, confine them to the trash bin and forget about them. But I did respond to this one. I replied:
"Where do you get your information that GMO seeds cause any kind of deformities? Did you read it on the Internet? Did you see it in a scientific journal? It's garbage."
Perhaps I could have been a bit more circumspect, but something about the claims irked me. The correspondent soon replied:
"Give it 10 yrs. Just like DDT & other pesticides. How about Agent Orange used to defoliate in Viet Nam? I'm pretty sure Round Up (sic) weed killer says on the instructions not to swallow. If you're not suppose (sic) to swallow it why would you want to eat anything grown from a seed that is genetically modified with weed killer. Really think about it. Eat it if you choose but there are a lot of us who won't and who will boycott all companies who use any product made by Monsanto. And Monsanto pays big bucks to the powers that be so as not to have this info listed in the ingredients."
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
I gave it one more shot and explained that Roundup Ready crops do not include Roundup but are designed to tolerate Roundup application without harm to the plant. I didn't tell him that wheat currently available is not genetically modified, but I did mention that no studies exist that show genetically modified products are harmful, cause deformities or threaten life as we know it.
I have heard nothing more from the gentleman—which is somewhat telling in that folks who choose to oppose anything without facts to back up their position will not be swayed by facts that go against what they already believe.
I also support his right to boycott any product he wishes, but I think if he ever faces the choice of going hungry or eating a GMO product, he'll be happy to compromise.
In the meantime, those of us in agriculture should think of ways we can alleviate some of these irrational fears.

When I emailed in a question about my account, I got a response within the hour, I really appreciate that! And the renovations you've done make it even better! Keep up the good work! - Emelye
Hello, I have successfully found a roommate through your service and want to thank you. Prior to signing up I put an ad in the local paper which covers 15 communities for two weeks and never even got a single response. Within 2-3 weeks with you I wrote to several people I thought may be a good match - I also received interested responses to my ad as well. It just worked. I wouldn't hesitate to refer someone to your service. A satisfied customer. Best Regards, - Chris

Would you want your little girl hitting the beach in a leopard-print string bikini? Elizabeth Hurley thinks you might, which is why she's come out with a line of kids' swimsuits that some say are way too sexy for the target ages: under 8, and 8 to 13 (the style here is called the Mini Cha Cha and comes in sizes 8 and under). In fact, many of the designs are mini versions of actress's skimpy adult designs.
Plus: Girl Dresses in Pretty Woman Costume for Beauty Pageant
Do bikinis sexualize little kids? Jessica Simpson incited internet outrage recently when she shared a photo of 4-month-old daughter Maxwell wearing a yellow crocheted number. As a mom of a daughter, I can tell you that two-pieces are practical and make diaper changes and potty training much easier. But there's a wide range of style choices, from more modest surf suits to itsy bitsy bikinis.
Do you think little girls should wear bikinis? Leave a comment .

Sept. 16, 2007
PORTLAND, Ore. - For the second consecutive Sunday, Yale gave one of the top teams in the country all it could handle. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, both performances resulted in losses. Natalie Budge scored the only goal of the game in the 81st minute as fourth-ranked Portland escaped with a 1-0 victory over Yale before a crowd of 2,787 at Merlo Field in the final game of the Nike Portland Invitational.
"Today was the best we've played all season," said Yale head coach Rudy Meredith. "It's unfortunate we didn't get the result we wanted. Our effort was unbelievable. I'm very happy with the performance."
Last Sunday, the Bulldogs fell to defending NCAA College Cup champion North Carolina.
The game-winner came on the Portland's eighth corner kick of the afternoon. Angie Woznuk played the ball short to Jessica Tsao, who dribbled inside the penalty box on the right side. Tsao found Budge unmarked in front of the goal, and her eight yard, right-footed shot went between the legs of a defender and caromed off the left post and into the net.
The Bulldogs (1-4) had two quality chances in the game on breakaways where Portland goalkeeper Kelsey Davis was left one-on-one with an attacking player. The first came in the 44th minute as Hannah Smith broke free and tried to beat Davis to the left post, but the goalkeeper snuffed the angle and made the save.
In the 63rd minute, Maggie Westfal intercepted a pass among the Portland backline and charged toward the left post. Davis again came off her line and forced Westfal to rush her attempt, which sailed wide left.
Portland (5-1) outshot the Bulldogs 17-7. Davis finished with four saves. Susan Starr started in goal for Yale and made three saves. Ayana Sumiyasu played the second half and also stopped three shots.
The Pilots, who defeated Kansas on Friday by a 2-1 margin, claimed the Nike Invitational title by way of goal differential over the Washington Huskies. UW defeated Yale 2-1 on Friday and held off Kansas 1-0 in the early game on Sunday.
After playing four straight games away from home, the Bulldogs now have six of their next seven matches in the friendly confines of Reese Stadium, starting Wednesday night against Sacred Heart.

GlaxoSmithKline said on Monday it had filed for U.S. approval of its new once-weekly diabetes drug albiglutide and would make a similar submission shortly in Europe as it vies for a share of a crowded market.
Albiglutide belongs to the same class of injectable GLP-1 medicines as Victoza, from Novo Nordisk, and Byetta and Bydureon, from Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca's Amylin unit.
The submission by GSK, Britain's biggest drugmaker, was in line with its plan to seek regulatory approval for the new product in 2013. As a latecomer to the GLP-1 market, however, analysts believe albiglutide may struggle to generate major sales.
Consensus forecasts for albiglutide currently point to modest annual sales of around $367 million by 2017, according to Thomson Reuters Pharma.
Albiglutide is one of a number of new drugs GSK hopes will revive its product portfolio. It is also hoping for approval of the two lung drugs, Relvar and Anoro; an HIV medicine called dolutegravir; and two melanoma drugs dabrafenib and trametinib.
Further ahead, GSK expects to have pivotal clinical trial results on up to 14 medicines in the next two years, including two potentially ground-breaking experimental drugs for heart disease and cancer - darapladib and MAGE-A3.

Android chief Andy Rubin just posted a blog to announce that Google would begin selling the unlocked Galaxy Nexus to customers in the United States starting today. Mr. Rubin wrote, "We've come a long way since the first Android devices started hitting shelves three and a half years ago and since the launch of the first Nexus device."
Google attempted to sell the HTC Nexus One phone to consumers back in 2010 (I bought one), but that didn't go so well as the top 3 carriers rejected it and Google was forced to shut the store down later that year. When the store closed, Andy Rubin said, "The global adoption of the Android platform has exceeded our expectations, the web store has not. It's remained a niche channel for early adopters."
One of the main complaints with Google's online store two years ago was the lack of customer support. People who purchased the Nexus One back in 2010 did not know if they should contact Google, HTC, or T-Mobile when they had problems with the device.
This time around, things should be different. Rubin said, "We've implemented new customer support services to improve the purchasing experience on Google Play. We've taken all of this into consideration in designing Devices on Google Play."
Google is only selling the device in the US today, but it will be expanding to additional markets. "We hope to bring it to more countries soon."
Since the HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus ships unlocked, without a carrier commitment or contract, that means users can use it on the GSM carrier of your choice. The device supports both AT&T's and T-Mobile's HSPA+ networks, with speeds up to 21 Mbps.
A lot of customers who purchased the fake Nexus from Verizon were disappointed with the lack of software updates, but that shouldn't be a problem with Google's version. They will control all of the software upgrades and won't need the carrier's approval before pushing out new updates.
I've been a little critical of the Galaxy Nexus, but it remains one of my favorite Android phones. There were definitely some bugs at launch, but many of them have been resolved with the recent Android 4.0.4 upgrade. At a price of only $399, this is the best deal that US consumers can find on an unlocked Android phone.

Act Now - Physician Payments Sunshine Act Could Pass
Thursday June 11, 2009 | Filed under: Education, Guest Blog
My father always told me to be prepared to fight for what I believe in and I've subscribed to that theory throughout my life.
And while there are many causes and challenges to commit to, there's one facing our industry that needs action from nearly every distributor and supplier: the Physician Payments Sunshine Act of 2009.
This act would require drug companies and medical device manufacturers to disclose the value of payments or gifts of ANY amount to physicians, including all advertising specialties.
While there is some consideration the House might provide an exemption for items under $5, this amount is still too low, and the Senate bill still does not exempt any promotional products of any value. So, either way, we have to push to increase the exemption to $25, in order to save thousands of industy jobs.
Any drug or medical device company will be prevented from handing out promotional items at trade shows or in the office, because no one will want to take the time or painstaking effort to report the value of every single promotional item given (like pens, clipboards and mugs.)
This bill has good intentions, however, it also has far reaching ramifications. Since I'm obviously against bribing my doctor to give me medicine, I support the spirit of this bill. But, the way it's written will damage pharmaceutical promotional products sales for our industry, which will further impact the overall economy.
In addition to the revenue lost by distributors who sell to these companies, suppliers will obviously lose revenue and overall declining sales could lead to even more industry job cuts.
Doctors are constantly bombarded with messages and new information. Frankly, I want my doctor to be able to keep a pen or portfolio that will remind him of a drug or device that may make a difference to my health.
I hope you recognize how significant this issue is to you and to the health of our overall industry - whether or not you sell promo products to the pharmaceutical market.
So what can you do? Small things done by 100,000 of us can go a very long way and I've put together a few easy links for you to contact your representative. Take a quick moment to send them your thoughts, using these links and the draft of my letter below, and be sure to pass this information to your sales and support staff.
Please comment on this blog to indicate that you've sent a letter to your representative. Together, we can make a difference.
- Dale Denham is senior vice president at ASI. Email him here.
To email your Senator:
1. Click here and select the link after each of your Senators to contact them using the web form.
2. Insert your information and send your version of the letter below.
Draft of Letter:
Dear Senator [Last Name]:
I oppose S.301, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, and ask that you strongly consider the potentially devastating effects on those of us in your constituency. While the intentions of the bill are commendable, there are significant negative ramifications that may not be clear to the drafters of the bill.
I am not a manufacturer of drugs or medical devices, but I am in the promotional products industry and this bill will drive out hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and result in a significant loss of jobs.
Specifically, the proposed law does not establish a minimum dollar amount related to the "transfer of value," which will cause manufacturers to stop providing promotional products. Promotional products are very cost effective advertising items, not a "free trip" or other "gift" that has no advertising or educational value.
If you support this bill, I strongly urge you to allow tangible forms of advertising and education to be exempt from the bill, or at a minimum exclude those under a reasonable dollar value.
With over 30,000 promotional products businesses across the United States, many of them entrepreneurial small- and medium-sized businesses that now help drive most of the business growth in this country, and the thousands of jobs potentially at stake in the 19 billion dollar industry if this act passes, it is a very important issue.
Thank you for your time.
[Your Name]

BT to offer Universal movie downloads
Service starts next week
BT has signed up for Universal's movie download package. The deal will allow the telco to sell PC-only full-length films online from the end of this month.
It's essentially the same package UK online video reseller Lovefilm.com announced in March this year. Some 150 Universal titles will be made available to downloaders, who can pay to receive not only a PC-friendly copy but a PMP-formatted version too. A copy of the original DVD will be sent to them through the post.
BT will offer the downloads through its BTVision subscription-free video-on-demand service, which is linked to the telco's broadband offering. Indeed, the Universal deal also extends to VoD content pumped down the phonelines to a BT-branded, Philips-made broadband-connected set-top box.
BT didn't say how much the downloads will cost. However, Lovefilm.com charges around £20, so you're effectively buying the DVD and getting the ripping done for you, for free. Since the DVDs themselves can often be bought for much less than that, especially if you shop around, it's questionable what the value of the service is, though it does allow Universal to count each download as a DVD purchase for chart data. ®

Slimiest fish on the planet
This bottom-dwelling fish feeds on both small, live prey and on the bodies of dead or dying fish, burrowing inside and rasping at flesh. It can also claim the dubious honour of being the slimiest organism on earth. Pores along either side of its body generate copious amounts of incredibly strong, sticky mucous, which can suffocate predators and act as a lubricant for the hag to slip in and out of carrion.
Discharges slime by sneezing
As if it weren't peculiar enough, it is the only fish capable of sneezing (which it does to clear its own slime from its single nostril) and the only vertebrate animal that can tie itself in a knot (which it does to provide leverage when boring into flesh and to clear slime from its body).
Hagfish live in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean in very dense groups (up to 15,000 in an area). Because females tend to produce large eggs in small numbers, their population sizes suggest a low death rate. Newly hatched hagfish look just like the adults, but have both male and female sex organs. As they mature, they have the ability to select their sex to best fit into the population structure.

What about auto focus & tracking? When shooting with a wideangle / fisheye I guess using the right hyperfocal distance shouldn't give you a problem, right?
What about the famous DSLR rolling shutter plague when panning? Is that something to consider?
And how do you stabilize the DSLR for filming in the water? Holding it up with the pistol grip would give you very shaky footage..
One should at least use some kind of fig rig I guess.
I am eyeballing the new Sony PJ740 (other models are PJ760V, CX760V, PJ710V (US) and PJ740VE, CX740VE, CX730V (EUR)) In the Pro line there is the HXR-NX30.
All these videocamera's share the new BALANCED Optical Steady Shot, which mechanically compensates the whole camera block for vibrations.
https://www.google.i...ical steadyshot
I've seen footage filmed from an RC helicopter and the vibrations the cam eliminates is truly impressive. No more Lock 'n Load rendering in post production.
I hear the stabilizer is phenomenal and I think that this technology would be very useful filming in the surf or sports in general.
Than there is the AVCHD 2.0 codec which shoots full 1080p videos at 50/60fps, which is good for 50% slow motion, but also a good base for retiming (FCPX optical flow or plugins like Twixtor)
So these 2 features (stabilizer & high framerates) has to be giving up when considering a DSLR for filming.
But a DSLR means also less gear because you can share stills with video: lenses, housing etc.
For the camcorder another concern is the housing..
There is Sony's Sportpack, very cheap, $300. I hear mixed experiences though.
Some guy claims to use it in big surf in Hawaii without problems, another says they are terrible.
I found 2 more "budget housings":
# Aquatix Aquacam - $600
12mm thick plastic shell and two 0.5-inch thick optical-grade cast acrylic ports
electronic control with a penetration-free magnetic switching: start/stop, zoom wide/telephoto, and power on/off trough Sony's LANC port
# Equinox Recon - $200
Just an acrylic tube with only a mechanical start/stop button. Equinox makes quality diving housing though and this is their budget model
Using a DSLR for filming would beat 2 flies at once and at least in a real surf housing (SPL or Luiquid Eye)
I am a Nikon guy with the D300 - no video, but it looks like an upgrade D400 will come soon with 720p60fps video.
At least that's what the just released D3200 does and that's the cheapest model of them all.
So I would appreciate any tips/ thoughts/ concerns/ experiences using a DSLR camera for shooting surf.

Facebook's Graph Search: will it save f-commerce?
As the CEO of an ecommerce business with over 2,000 shops on Facebook, I have a unique perspective on Facebook selling.
After two years of testing, my company sees fewer sales from our global Facebook presence than from orders originating in New Zealand, where we don't have a marketing or sales presence, or a country-specific website.
Quite frankly, Facebook has been underwhelming for sales generation.
Social commerce best practices: infographic
Expectations for Facebook commerce, or f-commerce as it's commonly referred to, may have been set too high, and social may not be as big a player this holiday shopping season as some might have hoped, but that doesn't mean that social doesn't have a big role to play in the ecommerce market.
In a new infographic produced as part of its 2012 Social Commerce IQ: Retail report, software vendor 8thBridge takes a look at where retailers are at today with their social efforts, and where they most innovative are going with their social networking initiatives. For retailers looking for a path forward, it focuses in on the best practices those innovators are applying to get the most out of social.
Amazon goes social, launches Pages, Posts and Analytics
Is the future of commerce social? It depends on who you ask, and the answer is likely to be based on where you look.
Despite Facebook's massive audience, for instance, f-commerce has not panned out for many brands. Pinterest, on the other hand, has obvious potential.
One thing is indisputable, however: brands continue to invest in their social presences, and challenges notwithstanding, many are still trying to figure out how to convert social to sales and track the process.
Can Australian retailers use Facebook's new Collections feature to their advantage?
It looks like Facebook could be attempting a further push into e-commerce with the reported creation of a new feature which will allow users create wish lists of home furnishings, clothing and other retail products.
The new Collections feature enables retailers to put 'want' and 'collect' buttons on their pictures, which can be clicked by users to create a wish list on their personal profiles.
The buttons are still in beta testing at the moment and will only be rolled out to the US initially, but if they prove successful there is no doubt they will be available for Australian retailers too.
Facebook Gifts: potent new revenue stream, or dud?
Last week, Facebook launched its latest initiative designed to prove that the world's largest social network can make money, and lots of it.
Facebook Gifts, as the name implies, allows Facebook users to purchase gifts for their friends, family members and colleagues without leaving their favorite social network.
Facebook storefronts don't work, according to Nokia and Heinz
Many brands have tried to nail it, but replicating e-commerce sites on Facebook doesn't work. At least according to Nokia and Heinz.
At Facebook Marketing 2012 speakers from both brands said that while Facebook can be used as a platform for offering fans exclusive or limited edition products, it is a mistake to simply repliate existing storefronts.
We Are Social marketing director Tom Ollerton highlighted two Heinz case studies where the FMCG brand had used Facebook as a platform to sell new products to its fans.
Heinz wanted to sell just over 1m bottles of its limited edition Balsamic Vinegar Ketchup, so We Are Social recommended that an intial run of 3,000 bottles be sold exlusively through Facebook to build excitement around the launch.
Domino's brings pizza ordering to Facebook
Have a craving for a pizza? Normally, you'd have to step away from the computer and make a call, but the next time you're hungry, you might not have to move or pick up the phone to fill your stomach.
If you happen to live in New Zealand or Australia, you can now place your order on Facebook instead thanks to Domino's Pizza.
40+ useful posts on Facebook for marketers
With Facebook's new Timelines for brands due to go live today, I thought it would be a good time to round up some of our posts on Facebook marketing.
Topics covered include f-commerce, timelines, the EdgeRank algorithm, customer service, as well as lots of useful Facebook stats...
Why Facebook commerce is alive and well
Some have questioned the effectiveness of Facebook as a commerce platform, but can you dismiss an ad and marketing channel with 800+ million users?
Here are some tips for increasing the opportunities for commerce on Facebook.
Recently, Bloomberg published an article about several retailers, J.C. Penney, Nordstrom, Gap and Gamestop, who all closed their Facebook stores in 2011.
As a consultant implementing s-commerce (Social Commerce) solutions for my clients, I am writing to let you know that Facebook commerce (f-commerce) is alive and well and customers are making money selling products and services via Facebook.
10 excellent examples of Facebook Brand Timelines
Facebook's new Timeline format doesn't officially go live for brand pages until March 30th, but there's always a few who can't wait to try new things out. In fact, 8m have already made the switch.
Timeline marks a fundamentally different approach to marketing on Facebook for many brands, with more emphasis on images and genuine engagement on the wall.
We asked our Facebook fans and Twitter followers to help us highlight some of the best examples of cover photos, milestones, and general best practice we could find.
Payvment study shows sellers use Facebook ads to drive f-commerce
Payvment, Facebook's biggest e-commerce platform, has released its first 'F-commerce Facts' study.
A series of questions was sent to a selection of companies from the company's 100,000 sellers, spread across 12 countries.
72% of the 750 respondents have less than 500 fans, so this provides a snapshot of the way small businesses view their storefronts.
The research doesn't show how successful f-commerce has been for them per se, but does suggest strong adoption of Facebook ads to aid selling (39% have used this method) - with most of those surveyed planning to use them again (70%).
Q&A: Payvment CEO Christian Taylor on f-commerce
F-commerce is proving to be a tough nut to crack for many big high street retailers.
Major brands like Gap, J.C. Penney, Nordstrom and Banana Republic have shut down their Facebook stores in recent months after the predicted boom in socially driven sales failed to materialise.
Yet thousands of small and medium sized businesses are making a good living from f-commerce through integrated sales platforms such as Payvment.
Payvment currently powers 150,000 stores and adds 1,500 more each week, accounting for 80% of Facebook shopping
So what is the future for f-commerce and where do the opportunities lie?
We spoke to Payvment CEO Christian Taylor to find out why he thinks the big brands failed and how SMEs are getting it right.

Timberland began back in the 1950's when the Swartz family bought the Abington Shoe Company in Massachusetts. After years of testing and development, in 1965 the company introduced the first injection-moulding technology, and it took the footwear industry by storm. This cutting-edge technology allowed the soles of shoes to be completely fused with the leather uppers, resulting in an entirely waterproof boot - unlike any other of its kind on the market. After this was developed, the name Timberland was adopted by the company and they began trading as the company we know today.
Due to the sheer success and innovation involve with the waterproof soles, Timberland quickly gained popularity within the footwear industry and even expanded out into work shoes and more. Now, they offer everything from boat shoes, boots and casual shoes, impacting hundreds of markets across the globe. From the iconic 6 inch Premium boots to more contemporary items like Chelsea boots and wedges, we boast a large and stemming collection of Timberlands for sale.
Bells Shoes offer a range of different Timberland products for our customers and take pride in offering a 5 star service alongside this. As a family run business, we operate on strong morals and ethics, and aim to uphold our excellent reputation within the industry. We do this by constantly providing great service. If you have any questions about our range of products or the Timberland brand, get in touch. Alternatively, enjoy free UK delivery on your order with free returns.

Geoff Herbert, Special to MassLive.com
In 2008's "Harold & Kumar Go to Guantanamo Bay," the White Castle-loving stoner Kumar (played by Kal Penn) smoked marijuana with a fictional George W. Bush.
In real life, the 35-year-old actor served as Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement under President Barack Obama for two years.
"My favorite job was working for a boss who gave the order to take out Bin Laden," he said at Tuesday night's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. "So thank you, invisible man in the chair, for that."
The "invisible man" Penn referred to is Pres. Obama, who was "interviewed" by veteran actor Clint Eastwood at last week's Republican National Convention. The 82-year-old actor talked to an empty chair as if Obama were sitting there, inadvertently starting a Internet meme called "Eastwooding."
According to the New York Daily News, Penn's speech at the 2012 DNC was aimed to help the Obama campaign with reaching younger voters, asking them to register to vote online: "You don't even have to put pants on!"
Penn also told viewers to tweet about his speech using the hashtag #sexyface, and the word instantly became a trending topic on Twitter.
The Hill notes that he and his "Harold and Kumar" co-star John Cho also appear in a YouTube video promoting "Live From Charlotte," a online program for the DNC to be hosted by Penn on Thursday night before the president's speech. The convention special will feature celebrities like Marc Anthony, Elizabeth Banks, Aisha Tyler and Olivia Wilde.
In the 53-second spot, Pres. Obama is seen calling Penn and asking him to take the job seriously as the two actors laugh and munch on junk food in front of the television.
Other Hollywood stars have already appeared at the DNC in Charlotte, too. "Glee" actress Amber Riley sang the National Anthem Tuesday night, and celebrities spotted in the audience included "Wings" actor Tim Daly, Patricia Arquette, Wayne Knight, Alfre Woodard, "Monk" star Tony Shalhoub and John Leguizamo.
According to The Guardian, even bigger names will be in town when Pres. Obama speaks Thursday night. James Taylor, Foo Fighters and Mary J. Blige are expected to perform, and actress Jessica Alba is hosting a convention closing party with musical guests Scissor Sisters and Pitbull.
But will there be a speaker that draws as much attention as Eastwood at the RNC? Perhaps "Off Their Rockers" star Betty White could do it.
As of Tuesday evening, more than 12,000 hopefuls have signed a petition and another 35,000 fans joined a Facebook group to bring White to the Democratic National Convention. A similar online campaign in 2010 earned enough support to make the 90-year-old actress guest host for an episode of "Saturday Night Live."
CBS reports White endorsed Pres. Obama for re-election in May, saying she liked "how he represents us." He filmed a birthday greeting for the former "Golden Girls" star earlier this year as well, joking that she didn't believe her age and asked to see a copy of her birth certificate.
Both Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are scheduled to speak at the DNC on Thursday. The petition is calling for White to introduce the Commander in Chief before his speech.
What do you think? Would you like to see Betty White speak at the Democratic National Convention? Could she get as much attention as Clint Eastwood?

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better. Use these handy guides by Interior Designer Lisa Ferguson to make the best choice.
