[Humor] Priceless protester's look!

Found it from Americablog, which got it from truthout, which in turn got it from the original pranksters! Miss 3-of-a-Kind's face is priceless!

[Silverfox Admirer] Suggestions and photos

I'm thinking of re-designing this blog into something a little more aesthetically pleasing like this or this! The themes would obviously be of Silverfoxes. However, I need some non-copyrighted photos or pictures to work on. The works that are published on this page will be licensed under the Creative Commons after I've modified them to suit the design of this blog and yes, I will attribute the photos to the model(s) and photographer(s)!

The photograph or picture doesn't have to be a potrait. Side views, back views, diagonal views, scenic views, sexy views are ok, nude photos are not. Well, not for posting on this blog but if you really must, I'll view them! Ha! Photos of solo Silverfoxes or a Silverfox and his partner or groups of Silverfoxes would do nicely.

So, if you know of anyone who would like to participate in this little project, do post a comment or send me an e-mail. This project will probably take me a month or two to complete. Feel free to post any comments or suggestions!

[News] Ailing Silverfoxes

2 Silverfoxes who're not in best of conditions right now - Prince Rainier III and Pope John Paul II.

From Reuters - Monaco's Prince Rainier in "worrying" condition:

MONACO (Reuters) - Monaco's Prince Rainier remains on an artificial respirator and is in "worrying" condition three days after being taken to intensive care, his palace said on Friday.

The 81-year-old prince, who was married to the late film icon Grace Kelly, has been suffering from a lung infection complicated by cardiac and kidney problems.


(Wikipedia)

From Reuters - Pope Weak, Sidelined, But 'Lucid' on Good Friday:

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Christians around the world commemorated the death of Christ on Good Friday and a senior cardinal sought to reassure Roman Catholics, saying Pope John Paul was still "lucid" despite his great physical frailty.

The 84-year-old Pope, who is making a difficult recovery from throat surgery performed last month, was sidelined on the most somber day of the Christian calendar.

[Personals] Silverfox Admirer Ratings

Right! As mentioned in Establishing Criteria for Personals Site, I'm going to use the following criteria for assessing Silverfoxes related personal ads websites. In essence, it consists of:
  • Number of members (esp. number of Silverfoxes)
  • Granularity of search i.e. how detailed a profile is and how searchable it is
  • Ease of use and aesthetics
  • Features for non-paying members (some sites are known to be a pain if you're a non-paying member)
Each criteria will be rated between zero to five Silverfoxes, any big boo-boos will be red-flagged too; an overall Silverfox rating will also be given.

As an example, had Inretrospect - Silverfox Admirer been a personals site, its assessment would go something like this:

Number of members
Pathetically low. With an overall readership of 30 a day, this site can do a lot more in the membership department! But at least it isn't zero!
Rating: (RED FLAG) 1.5 Silverfoxes

Granularity of search
Silverfox Admirer groups its blogs into categories allowing for easy search with blogger or technorati. While it's not extensive, it's sufficient for most users.
Rating: 3.5 Silverfoxes

Ease of use and aesthetics
Knowing that Inretrospect can't design for nuts, the layout and use of Silverfox Admirer is certainly clearly above expectations. But as it's clearly not his work, I'm deducting half a Silverfox from an otherwise 3 Silverfox rating.
Rating: 2.5 Silverfoxes

Features for non-paying members
This blog does not differentiate paying and non-paying members. You're getting the real deal here! As far as features are concerned, it contains newsfeeds, counters and comments. Inretrospect even creates links so that you can subscribe to his newsfeed through Yahoo and MSN!
Rating: 4.5 Silverfoxes

Overall rating
Inretrospect - Silverfox Admirer is a growing blog that can do with improvements in several areas. It's user-friendly, contains useful links, has interesting puter lessons and gives you a lesson in international news through Silverfoxes! However, it can do with more members but that'll come with time.
Overall Rating: 3.5 Silverfoxes
