Ever do this? Meet up at a book store and just start playing a reading each other books? Another reason why little kids rock.
Here's Elly and a few of her friends stuffing their birthday bears.
Scott Lilly of the Center for American Progress, who spent years on the Appropriations staff, agrees. He is directing journalists to a report the Congressional Research Service released two days before Bush’s address. It’s called “Earmarks in Appropriations Acts: FY 1994 . . . FY 2005″, and it documents Bush’s indifference to the earmarked items tacked onto bills by individual legislators.
• The VA, HUD, and other agencies’ appropriations bills included 469 individual earmarks in 2000. The number had gone up to 2,080 by 2005.
• Defense Department earmarks increased from 997 in 2000 to 2,506 in 2005.
• Labor, Health and Human Services and Education earmarks soared from 491 in 2000 to 3,014 in 2005.
• At Commerce, Justice, State, and the Judiciary, earmarks went from 361 in 2000 to 1,722 in 2005.
"The eyes of this country are upon you !!! Please vote with careful consideration.
When you vote, don’t believe the Clinton campaign when it asserts that Barack Obama is not qualified to lead this country. Obama’s great background exceeds Hillary’s qualifications. Here are a few highlights from Barack Obama’s resume…
He graduated in the top 1% of his class at Harvard Law School with a major in Constitutional Law, and was elected President of the Harvard Law Review - a great honor.
Hillary graduated in the middle of her class and flunked her law exam TWICE (this is true, check it out !!)
Obama could have gotten a high paying prestigious job, but opted to work as a community organizer in the poor sections of Chicago helping blacks, hispanics and others to gain a political voice and get ahead.
Obama then worked for years as a Civil Rights lawyer representing a wide range of clients.
He also worked as a Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago.
For her ENTIRE CAREER in Arkansas, Hillary worked as a CORPORATE LAWYER representing large companies in lawsuits against them.
Hillary then became First Lady when Bill won the election, and for 8 years the one “real” project she headed was Health Care Reform, in which she failed miserably.
Barack Obama served as State Senator of Illinois for 8 years, and he has been U.S. Senator for ther last 3 years. He has a total of 11 years in ELECTED PUBLIC OFFICE.
Hillary has a total of 6 years in ELECTED PUBLIC OFFICE.
You be the judge. Who’s background is more relevant ??"
What's a great Friday night? Your wife goes out with friends and you get to take your lovely 3 year old to "Enchanted" at the Cinema Grill. Then, a fun evening of tea parties and drawing. And she thinks you're a blast.
I recently found a bug new to the iPhone, specifically version 1.1.3. I have been able to reproduce the bug and have found a solution, although it is a bit of a pain. If you receive a call while listening to music via headphones (specifically non-iPhone headphones) and pull the headphones out of the jack as to listen to the call via the handset's speaker, you get no sound. The only way to hear the call is to use the speaker phone. The bug is that the iPhone will only seem to recognize that the jack has been unplugged if you are in the iPod app and stop the player, remove the headphone jack and then generate a call.
My best friend and I discuss our jobs on a frequent basis. I say that my next teaching gig will be in a small college town or overseas, mainly because I am tired of having to convince people to become educated. I want that to be a norm and to move on.
He says that is exactly why I should keep teaching in the hood; because there are people who still need convincing.

Windows. The hoops you have to jump through to get a new install up and running are just oppresive, not to mention the half a gig of updates you have to install so that the machine can last more than 5 minutes on the net before it's conscripted into some hacker's bot army.
And then another 200+ mb for Office!
