Erykah Badu Bares Herself (Literally!!) In New Video
In her new music video for her latest release, "Window Seat", the never shy Erykah Badu has taken artist exposure to a whole new level by baring herself – literally!!
The controversial video was shot in one take on crowded Dealey Plaza in Ms. Badu's Dallas hometown in the same location where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.
Badu posted these comments about the shoot on her Twitter account, "i was petrified while shooting this video...but liberation began to set in. i conquered my fears in that few moments."
She went on to tweet, "i been naked all along in my words actions and deeds. thats the real vulnerable place."
Dallas police are not charging Ms. Badu with indecent exposure because they received no official complaints and because they didn't catch her in the act.
When asked what she did after the filming, Badu said quite wisely, "we ran."
Peep the "Window Seat" vid and let us know what you think.

Step Out On Faith To Get Fit
Faith can be as simple as getting out of bed—you believe the floor will
support you; or as involved as surviving a flight to the Far East—you
believe the plane will land at the Beijing Capital International
Airport. Faith may be a part of your religious beliefs or a
representation of your innate confidence.
Faith
can also be factored into the belief that you can stay healthy with a
lifestyle of salty snacks, “ketchupy” French fries, sugary sodas and no
movement except to get where you’re going. How far you can go is
another story.
Something as basic as water can trip you up.
Did you ever think about the importance of water to your body? It is
second only to oxygen in the list of life-sustaining elements. Do you
drink everything but water when you’re thirsty? Drinking the
recommended two quarts per day is like watering a drooping Peace Lily.
You will bloom like a flower.
Our Creator made sure there was
enough water. The Earth’s surface is in fact 70.8% water. He also led
the way in acclimating us to water by having us grow in it for nine
months. So why not expand the faith you don’t realize is operating as
you live your current lifestyle? You can probably “talk the talk;” but
need help to “walk the walk.”

Without Flash, The iPad is Just Flashy!
The new Apple iPad is gorgeous in its lines. It's truly sleek and incredibly thin. The resolution looks superb and the the touchscreen with the full-size keyboard should make for a wonderful web experience...at least they should. But, right now, I think this beautiful device will just make for a really frustrating experience because the iPad, like the iPhone, does not yet support Flash video, the default standard of the web!
During Steve Jobs' introduction and demonstration of the iPad, what jumped out at me was the little blue cube that appeared on the New York Times website indicating that Flash is not supported. More and more most sites, even newspaper sites, have robust video sections, so what is one to do on the iPad?
As much as I am an Apple fan, even I have to admit that this omission sucks for the user!
Without Flash, the iPad is just flashy!
