The Critic Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 QUOTE (juddling @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 06:46 AM) This summer..my wife got me into watching America's got Talent...and i have to ask.....is it me or is it ironic that i see Sharon "F'n" Osborne giving advice on singing. Has she ever shown any shred of talent that I don't know about???? I don't know much about her younger days...maybe there is something ther but i doubt it Well, her father was Don Arden, a music manager who used to manage Black Sabbath, and she's been Ozzy's puppeteer for quite a while now, so maybe she learned something about singing from one of the other groups Arden managed.

DBAHO Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Does anyone good of a good site on the net to do personalised invitations to send via e-mail that is free (e.g for a b-day party), otherwise I will just use Powerpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think evite.com? Or e-vite.com (I forget what the "official" domain is)... google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I am testing google chrome at work. It works with our microsoft based intranet a lot better than Firefox. It is a simple browser with some elegance to it. So far for a beta pretty stable. It only died once. Soxtalk looks good in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it except for the lack of a home button initially and also my start bar cannot be pulled up when the browser is maximized. That definitely needs to be fixed. I have a hover over start bar, not sure what it does to normal ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 So in my Speech Communication 101 class we had to give speeches about ourselves to start the class off, and this girl came up and started talking about how she loved the Republican party, and as an independent (mainly because I feel too young and dont know enough about the parties to really justify picking one, and I would much rather make my decisions based on how I believe rather than a party belief etc.), I was excited to hear what she had to say regarding the GOP. I have never really talked to a real GOP backer, except for one teacher whom I loved to talk to about politics, and thought it would be great to learn about why she loved the party when everyone around her is a democrat (when you live in college towns as I have its hard not to be surrounded by dems). What I learned from her is: 1) If youre not Republican, youre not American. 2) Her parents were Republican and therefore she was too, and cried when Clinton won even though it was way back in elementary school. 3) She loves Pres. Bush because he's really cool and cute. 4) Loves the Iraqi war, no reason given. 5) Hates Obama, she gets sick even at the mention of him, and cant shop at Hollister anymore even though its her favorite store because they were selling Obama shirts, 8 of them!! 6) She basically said "Im a tool, Im a tool, a tool, tool, tool, an unbelievably annoying tool" (yes, its that guy from Scrubs) Im worried about our future...

The thing is, you will have people like this on both sides of the spectrum. Tex and I have often sparred on voting when I mention that people like this, on either side, who can't take the time or don't have the brain cells to actually inform themselves, at least a little bit, about more than 1 issue shouldn't go vote. then tex accuses me of trying to deny people their right to vote, and on it goes again.

FlaSoxxJim Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 QUOTE (juddling @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 04:58 PM) Bacon vodka.....nice!!!!!!!! Bacon!!!!!!!!!! I can see that being quite good in a bloody mary, but probably not much else. I've been dabbling in some rum infusions over the last few months - mostly to make home-made versions of a few hard to find ingredients for vintage Don the Beachcomber and trader Vic-era tiki drinks. The best infusion so far has been a home-made falernum, which is a Caribbean lime and clove liqueur that is an indispensable ingredient in some vintage faux tropicals like Corn 'N Oil. It really brings out the best in a nice aged Demerara or Martinique sipping rum. Also outstanding with Cruzan Blackstrap, which is a rough rum that doesn't play well with most mixers.

Flash Tizzle Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) I'm interested in playing electric guitar, and my buddy's brother who has countless guitars sitting around offered to basically give it to me (along with an amplifier) indefinitely. What I want to know is, how expensive would a delay accessory such as the one provided within the link be?

Walk before you run though, and get some playing under your belt before you spend a ton of money on effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
