Solidarity

I received this email and I think its about time...

'There is less than a month until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans, so it's time that we come together, Democrats and Republicans alike.


To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. If you support the policies and character of John McCain, please drive with your headlights on during the day.


If you support Senator Obama, please drive with your headlights off at night.
Thank you for your participation!'

Prop 8 in California...

The downside of Apple Computers!

Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8. http://www.apple.com/startpage/

I am really... really bothered that Apple would get involved in something that has nothing to do with computers. I don't know if I want to buy from them in the future if my money is going to go to something that I am against... I know I know... I can't boycott everything but this just bothers me... If you are an apple lover of sorts... ipods... macs... itunes... whatever send them an email to tell them how bothered YOU are!

Email Address Help

I read over resumes in my position at work to hire new people in my department. I have come to recognize the good resumes from the bad by different indicators one that I can't stand is one I have to mention to everyone so the 3 people who read this will be uplifted and enlightened.

If you really want a job with a professional company or you want an email taken seriously, your email address should not be close to any of the following:

naughtynana@yahoo.com =dirty old lady who probably smokes and has dial up.

loves2sleep@aol.com =probably will call in sick alot

summerof74@netzero.net =If you remember the summer of 1974....

alwyzlate@hotmail.c0m =Who cares what time I work?

puppylovr43@earthlink.net =Dogs are great... don't make it your life...

RyaJulie4kids@msn.com =Other commitments that won't take a back seat!

gilsgirl4ever@aol.com= The biggest problem here is that they still use AOL... tech fail!

bookwormer@hotmail.com = Reality is hard for this person to understand.


Here is what is acceptable.... study it!

(your first name, last name)@gmail.com

(first initial, last name)@gmail.com

(first initial.middle initial.last name)@gmail.com

Notice that I chose a gmail account for your email. Gmail is google mail... its huge right now and people who are more computer savy have them. It does tell me a lot about someone's computer experience when I see a gmail account.

I hope this is a lesson learned for everyone... if you have a problem with this... don't blame me... blame yourself for a poor email choice... repent and get a new email account!

(Note these email address examples are not real email addresses that I know of... if they are it by pure coincidence... if you have an email address like this... keep it personal not business!)

Creepy!!!!

A middle school teacher in Missouri was suspended Monday for putting a video on YouTube of his students chanting lines from Barack Obama speeches and wearing military fatigues.

The video, called "Obama Youth -- Junior Fraternity Regiment," was posted by a YouTube user named "keepitwildtv" on Oct. 2. The school learned the video was on the Internet and took action against the teacher Monday morning.

Students at the school have 30-minute group sessions four times a week during which they are supposed to work on reading and writing. Once a week they are allowed to have "activities," McGautha said. There are 12 groups at the public charter school.

The Junior Fraternity students studied Obama's economic plan with the teacher, and the superintendent did not know whether the teacher or the students scripted the routine. The group should have also studied John McCain's economic plan, the superintendent said.

In the video, eighth- and ninth-graders wearing military camouflage pants and navy t-shirts chant and perform a routine in the style of a step show, a dance popular among African-American fraternities at universities.

The students enter the room chanting "Alpha. Omega. Alpha. Omega." Then, one at a time, they state things they were "inspired" to do by Barack Obama, including becoming an architect and a sheriff. At the end of the video, the students make statements about Obama's healthcare plan. "Obama's healthcare plan will be able to provide participants the ability to move from job to job without taking their healthcare coverage," one says.

"People are upset that possibly taxpayer money is being used to support one particular candidate," McGautha said, "and now I can understand that. And I didn't condone them. I try very, very hard to remain within the limits of the law. I think this is unfortunate."

She said she was aware of the video, and that many of the school's activities are recorded, but that the teacher had been warned in a letter not to put it on the Internet. If he did, she said, he should seek legal counsel.

The teacher's fate will be taken up by the charter school's board, she said.

"Certain things don't happen in public schools anyway, but there area lot of other ramifications when you take it public," McGautha said.

"As far as [the teacher is] concerned, I think he gets what was supposed to come to him. But I don't think the children should be the victims of his stupidity."
