Want a good laugh?! Call the Nestle Crunch Hotline at 1-800-295-0051. When you are asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish, just wait quietly for about 10 seconds and you will smile. Promise! Keep going and press 4. Listen to the options...then press 7. If you comment on this after listening, don't give away the surprise!

The Tea Party in Nashville today

Tennessean article

Seems two of the Tennesse GOP bright stars who were to speak had to pull out last week - ethics issues of speaking at a for-profit political event.

There are rumors that this first meeting could be the last.

Sarah is getting paid $100,000 to speak.

Quote:
By the way, if anybody is looking for the Nashville Democratic Party in the middle of all this, they're hosting a happy hour at Cabana at 5 p.m. this evening. The motto is "Anything But Tea."

Thinking abt going Mac
Topic Posted by: shakey - On: 01/26/2010 - At: 7:17:09 PM

What would you mac hacks recommend? We don't need blazing speed or tons of memory. Don't do any gaming or run memory hog programs.

Will we need to buy new gadgets like router and external hard drive? Are monitors interchangeable between PC and mac?

Currently have an old gateway with AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core at 2.4 ghz with 2 gigs of RAM. Jan's newer HP died after abt 14 months. We'll keep the gateway and network it with whatever we buy.

Interesting article

I don't follow the field of psychology that much, but this piece about ‘cognitive fluency’ was interesting, and disturbing to see just how easy humans can be manipulated.

Martial Law coming?
Topic Posted by: Paulwa - On: 02/05/2010 - At: 9:17:49 PM

Just got my Jerusalem Post magazine today and found a display at the bottom of the cover, apparently from a Jewish group to American Jews.
It had these words:

Last chance to Escape!

President Obama reportably has just signed an executive order authorizing MartialLaw in the United States! (surf google:Obama Martial Law FEMA)

As the economy in America worsens...anti semitism rises!
Countless Neo-Nazi and White supremist groups are spreading their venomous message on the internet and in public demonstrations advocating violence and praising Hitler as a "true hero".
AMERICAN JEWS...WAKE UP...PACK UP..AND COME HOME NOW TO ISRAEL...BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!

Shuva (return)The Israel Emergency Aliyah Movement. In Israel:P.O. box32103 Jerusalem
(also a USA address)
*Who is wise...those who see the future:*(Ethics of the Fathers)
..................................................................
I am just posting this for information only, I don't know quite what to make of it but sounds like there are extremeist Jewish groups in the middle east as well as American extremist groups in a tither.
I did Google that infor and came up with this statement on You TouTube by Obama:
http://vodpod.com/watch/1420272-chilling-quote-by-obama-martial-law-in-us

I also came up with this from a Progressive Magazine which I had never heard of and this article that had been published in it. (I hate the way they portray Sarah Palin) but it looks like they are against Martial Law against the American people also or did I read that wrong.
http://www.progressive.org/mag/wx102108.html
Like I say I am posting this for info. See what you think of all this. There is much more to be googled that I didn't get too. Maybe you will.

The Pres on jobs conference
Topic Posted by: Paulwa - On: 02/02/2010 - At: 2:31:42 PM
Paulwa
Just been listening to his talk on jobs and I have to say I like his words. Maybe he will turn to helping the people achieve the things we need. Now if he will just roll up his sleeves and go to work and make it all work I will be pleased as punch!!!
Guess we will just have to wait and see. He does need to let a bunch of the people around him go home. They smear his reputation badly. He doesn't need that as he has been doing that pretty much by himself.
Maybe he has finally figured out who is his boss!! :-)

New web site up and running ..... finally
Topic Posted by: MerryA - On: 02/05/2010 - At: 11:13:52 PM

So I finally got the jewelry site ready to upload - still not finished but the rest can be done at a more relaxed pace (this is all I have worked on this week).

So I upload it and none of the pics show up. The ALTs do but not the pics. What I had out there before had pics - no problem. So I mess with it, making sure I had the folder name spelled right, the path, that I had loaded the pics in the correct folder, etc. Everything looked fine. I deleted everything in my host folder and uploaded again. Still no go.

I finally caved and called the help desk at the hosting service. One of the first things I asked was since I created it on an XP OS and was trying to upload onto a Linux, were there any special issues I didn't know about. (Didn't seem likely since I had already done it twice.) He said no, then said that Linux was case sensitive so I have changed all the extensions to lower case to match the code (it got changed in FileZilla).

So then we looked at the permissions and the folder "images" was web visible but the individual files were not. So I switched that. Still no go. He said it might take a while for the permissions to register. It has been over an hour and still no go.

Suggestions?

Check It Out Tomorrow Night!
Topic Posted by: johnny - On: 02/05/2010 - At: 3:47:41 PM

Just Skyped with Natalie in NY. Husband Sean is a writer/producer for VH-1 and is wrapping up a great show that airs tomorrow night.

If you ever watched "Soul Train", or heard about it, you'll get off on this! Sean is writer/producer for this collaboration with the original people that aired it!

"Soul Train: The Hippest Trip in America
Saturday at 9:30 on VH1

Admit it: No matter what you remember about "Soul Train" - the dancing, the clothes, the music - just those two words put a smile on your face.

So will this VH1 documentary on one of the most successful music shows in the history of anywhere.

"The Hippest Trip" is an express version of that history, 90 fast-moving minutes narrated by Terrence Howard with guest comments by artists from Aretha Franklin to Snoop Dogg.

Along the way, it notes that "Soul Train" also had ties to more serious matters, since its charismatic creator and host, Don Cornelius, came out of the civil rights movement.

He was a journalist more than a music man, but he also had a promotional sense and in the late 1960s, he saw a hole in the music media market.

Soul music was popular everywhere, and yet unlike rock 'n' roll and pop stars, soul artists had no place on television to promote that music."
