| The "Sheet Head" Fiasco | | 2008-07-12 11:30:00 | | Before anyone throws a fit and thinks I'm going to go on an anti-Muslim rant: I'm not. This is in regards to the heated discussion that has sprung up around the posting of a rejection letter sent by William Sanders of Helix Magazine. The link in that sentence is not to the original post, but a different post where the whole letter appears. The original poster recanted and pulled the letter off after Sanders threw a fit and a half over what he considered private correspondence.Now Tobias S. Buckell has rung in here on the issue and it seems like things are getting even more heated after he posted this about some things said in the Asimov's Magazine forums. It should be said at this point that any mention of the wrongs of Mr. Sanders has very little to do with being "P.C." and a lot to do with the nature of being a bigoted idiot. Mr. Sanders clearly used language that is inappropriate. At this point it is irrelevant whether it was right or wrong to post the rejection notice (I thi | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |

| Impeach Texas District Judge Barbara Walther Over FLDS Fiasco | | 2008-06-11 14:24:33 | | Texas Judge Barbara Walther authorized the removal of more than 400 children from an FLDS compound in Texas and their placement in foster care.
Both an appellate court and the Texas Supreme Court have ruled that the children and parents must be reunified. Even now Judge Walther is blocking the reunification by attempting to get parents to sign agreements with Child Protective Services before they can be reunited with their children.
Barbara Walther's actions constitute one of the greatest violation of constitutional rights in the State of Texas and she should be impeached and removed from office. This petition will be forwarded to Texas lawmakers after enough signatures are collected.
Signing this petition does not mean that you necessarily support the FLDS and their religious views.

| Cosmetic Face Implant Surgery Fiasco For Australia’s Next Top Model | | 2008-05-27 23:48:00 | | While the current America’s Next Top Model Whitney Thompson is making waves with her stance on full-figured women, a participant on the Australian leg of the show is creating a hubbub with her cosmetic surgery forays. Alex Girdwood, 20 and a contestant fighting for the crown on Australia’s Next Top Model had collagen injectables pumped into her lips to make them plumper. When the judges and the panel of experts found out about Alex’s plastic surgery attempts needless to say, they were left shocked. Says Priscilla Leighton-Clarke, the modeling agent responsible for granting the winner the one-year contract, “My line on cosmetic surgery when it comes to young, beautiful girls is leave it well alone”. She goes on to add, “I would never encourage any of my models to have plastic surgery and none of them do - except for one who is in her 30s”. A lip augmentation treatment is often offered as an element of face lift surgery procedures and results in lips that are plump | | By: Face Surgery Orange County | | |

| BA careers terminated by T5 fiasco! | | 2008-04-15 17:23:04 | | The careers of two senior British Airways executives were ended abruptly today. Only days after Willie Walsh said nobody was going, these two get the chop. Gareth Kirkwood, director of operations, and David Noyes, director of customer services, are going. One wonders what Willie is thinking. He says he's got to stay in order to sort out the mess. Had he no contributing hand in all this? Sounds like he swanned in all aghast at the terrible chaos, but saw none of it as being linked to him.If Willie Walsh ever appeared on the Apprentice as project manager with these two hapless boardroom casualties, it would be fairly obvious that the audience would be wondering how he escaped. "What was you thinking, Willie? 25,000 bags went missing! You weren't there. You brought Gareth back into the boardroom. Why him? A wizz at computers, eh? And what of David. No good, was 'e?" It would make good TV if nothing else!However, the T5 story goes on. A bit like Peyton Place, for those who can remember it. | | By: A View from Middle England by Arden Forester | | |

| The Waterboarding Fiasco | | 2007-12-13 22:54:00 | | Hold on, pause. This is not a politics rant, at least not in the traditional sense. I'm not going to argue the ethics of waterboarding, or foreign diplomacy or anything like that. This is going to be a musing on something I heard on the radio today that just made me stop and go "what?" in that 'the logic of that statement is escaping me' type of voice. I won't bother repeating what the waterboarding fiasco is, as most of you probably already know. There was a short radio section that had some guy talking about two tapes showing waterboarding incidents that were destroyed by the CIA--and created by them mind you. The gentlemen talking about this remarked that he thought , and the CIA thought, this was a brilliant move on their part because we don't want those tapes getting in the hands of extremist Muslims (his words, not mine). Basically, they'd get mad and have a fun day with the tapes and having it shown on the net and the like would be very bad | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |

| Microsoft and the xbox 360 fiasco | | 2007-12-06 12:41:00 | | The xbox 360 was to be Microsoft's crowning moment for the next generation video game console. Nintendo and Sony were both ahead of the original xbox in sales and popularity. The original xbox was Microsoft's first entry into the video game arena which was dominated by Nintendo in the early days and then by Sony and the playstation line. The xbox required a lot of money to be properly promoted and it is often said that xbox loses money on every console sold. Their aim is to recuperate through accessories and games.The next generation of xbox is the xbox 360. it claims to have a better processor, better features, better graphics and overall a better gaming experience than the competition. Public opinion is still divided, and cannot be used to help your buying decision. There are loyal sony fans and they remain loyal no matter what Microsoft releases.The release for the xbox 360 was perfect, as the competition was retooling for their 3rd generation releases; the Nintendo Wii, and the Sony PlayStation 3. Microsoft was all alone, and was able to release the xbox 360 just before the Christmas shopping season.There was incredible demand and very short supply. The perfect way to manufacture a shopping frenzy. Retailers were open late, and the lineups were massive. Eventually, about 6 months later - everyone was able to get an xbox 360.There remains one huge problem - product quality. Microsoft pressured their suppliers and cotntracted manufacturer to product millions of units to meet demand. Not all xbox 360's are created equal and soon critical manufacturing flaws emerged.The xbox 360 is notorious for what is called the "red rings", "3 rings of death", or the "3 red ring" problem. Essentially, the motherboard overheats from normal usage, and the graphics processor experiences intermittent contact with the circuit board. The constant heating and cooling reduces the solder integrity.The end result is a xbox 360 that boots up, momentarily, then flashes the 3 red rings.

| Un Fiasco | | 2007-04-05 01:45:00 | | Vi el pequeño recuadro en la página digital de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa de donde soy alumno, y mi corazón empezó a latir con violencia. Mi Alma Máter, donde a mis cuarenta y uno -no me avergüenza decirlo-, curso la carrera de Derecho, por fin daba una oportunidad a aquellas plumas desconocidas que ansiaban ver en letra de molde el fruto de sus más caros anhelos.-Ésta es mi oportunidad de trascender -me dije excitado.Requisitos para presentar trabajos a la editorial de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa, decía el encabezado. Luego venía una serie de requerimientos. Márgenes de tal medida, sangría de tal o cual modo, letra Times New Roman, etc, etc.Leí con fruición tratando de fundir en mi mente aquellas letras esperanzadoras. Aunque quedaba una duda: la calidad de mis relatos. No era yo el más indicado para calificarlos. Pero en fin. En caso de una negativa ante la ceguera que da la autocomplacencia me quedaba un consuelo. Si no se logra, me servirá para mejorar mi prosa en vistas a un futuro intento.Y ante el temor de herir mi ya precaria condición de escribidor con ansias de reconocimiento, le pedí a mi esposa que me hiciera el favor de llevar el manuscrito.-Ándale, hazme el favor. ¿A ti qué? Ni te va ni te viene -le dije tratando de animarla.Esto ocurrió un viernes. Pues ahí me tienen con unos nervios exacerbados por el café que no me dejaron en paz toda la mañana. En la oficina sonaba el teléfono y yo pegaba un brinco. No, era una llamada para el jefe, y la secre se tardaba una eternidad en comunicarlo. Si alguien trata de hablar, el maldito teléfono estará ocupado. Apenas se abría la puerta y ya me imaginaba entrando a todo un cortejo de funcionarios universitarios buscando a ese insigne artífice de la palabra tan injustamente tratado.Finalmente. A las tres de la tarde me habló mi esposa.-Ya lo dejé –me dijo al otro lado de la línea telefónica.-¿Y?-¿Y, qué?-Como que qué. ¿Qué te dijeron?-Me dieron un recibo. Y que ocupan hablar contigo.-¿Para qué?-Pues no sé. Hay una directora ahí. Saber quien eres, yo creo.-¡¿Lo vieron, lo hojearon?! –pregunté con el corazón desbocado.-Les dije que ibas a ir el lunes. A las once y media te va a recibir la mujer ésta. Es Maestra en Ciencias, creo.Ave Maria Purísima. Nunca tuve un fin de semana tan largo. Ni cuando tenía seis años, que es cuando los días se nos hacen eternos y jugamos pensando en que nunca llegaremos a usar pantalones largos.Pues allá voy el lunes, con el estandarte de la fe enarbolado. Pedí permiso en el trabajo para ciertos tramites médicos. Me vestí con mis mejores trapos y cruce la puerta de la editorial universitaria a las once con veintinueve minutos.Increíble. No tuve que esperar ni un minuto. Apenas estaba preguntando a la secretaria por la C. Directora Maestra en Ciencias, cuando:-Es ella -me dijo-, y me señaló a una mujer algo pasada de carnes, perfectamente peinada y engalanada como para una fiesta con un vestido floreado. Estaba parada ante la puerta de entrada de un privado y me preguntó a boca de jarro:-¿Ah, tú eres el del manuscrito?-Sí, mi esposa hizo el favor de traerlo el viernes pasado.-¿Ya te tomaron los de la televisión, Conchita? –preguntó a la secretaria. Tal parecía que yo hubiera adquirido de repente la cualidad de volverme trasparente.-Ay sí maestra. ¿Les digo que pasen a su oficina?-Espera un minuto. Ahora me desocupo. Pásale –me dijo, al tiempo que con la diestra señalaba el interior de su oficina.No me dio oportunidad ni de sentarme.-¿Dónde trabajas?-Soy empleado de Gobierno –dije con una sonrisa que inútilmente trataba de ocultar mi nerviosismo-. Pero soy alumno de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa. Además, he tenido la oportunidad de ganar en un concurso de narración convocado por la misma...-Te pregunté que si donde trabajabas por que aquí únicamente publicamos a los trabajadores universitarios.-Ah, vaya. ¿O sea que no publican nada de los alumnos? Le decía que he ganado un concurso de narración convocado por la misma universidad. Aquí traigo...-No mijo. Solo empleados.-En ese caso, pues está demás dejarles mi manuscrito, ¿verdad?En ese instante, el corazón amenazaba con salirse de mi pecho abriéndose paso a través de mi seca garganta.Ella asintió con una condescendiente sonrisa.Apenas trasponía yo la puerta con el maldito manuscrito aún en el sobre cerrado en mis manos.-¡Que pasen los de la tele!Escuché el grito de la Maestra en Ciencias, Directora de la Editorial de los Trabajadores Universitarios.Texto de Moisés Sandoval. sandoval_calderon_moises@hotmail.com | | By: Atormentadero | | |
