Pray for Fred Durham Psalm 109:8
http://shop.cafepress.com/pray-for-durham   Feel free to steal my image and use it anywhere you like. Also, for the pacifists (and Atheists) among us, I plan on making a "Masturbate to Fred Durham" shop as well. But CafePress rules forbid using photos of "celebrities", so you can't put his photo on a shirt.  Pacifists and Atheists may masturbate to a photo of Fred Durham, instead of praying Pslam 109 Basically, we could use this to set-up several Democratic Underground chat rooms with this. Access would be password controlled. If I've been told correctly, the free version would allow up to 50 people to be connected at once. The pay version would allow up to 1,000 and cost $30 a month.
In addition to being able to use it as DU chat rooms, we could also invite public figures for interviews, town halls, lectures, etc. What do you guys think?  Server 3.0 - Public version: The public version of the Ventrilo 3.0 server can be used without a license fee, so long as you abide by the terms of the LICENSE. Each of the public servers contains a file named LICENSE and by downloading and running the server you are agreeing to the terms of this license. Server 3.0 - Pro version: The Pro version of the Ventrilo server can not be downloaded. It requires that we accept your application and that you sign and return the Ventrilo license. However, we do not license everyone. In order for an applicant to be considered you must meet the following minimum requirements. <snip> Ventrilo 3.0.0 is the next evolutionary step of Voice over IP (VoIP) group communications software. Ventrilo is also the industry standard by which all others measure themselves as they attempt to imitate its features. By offering surround sound positioning and special sound effects on a per user, per channel, per server or global configuration level the program provides each user the option to fully customize exactly how they wish to hear sounds from other users or events. Ventrilo is best known for it's superior sound quality and minimal use of CPU resources so as not to interfere with day to day operations of the computer or during online game competitions. It is also preferred for the simple user interface that any first time computer user can very quickly learn because the most commonly used features are immediately visible and can be activated with a single click of the mouse. To see what the program looks like and a list of some of the many features the program offers please click on the About link in the navigation menu.  <snip> Ventrilo can be used for home / personal applications like talking to friends and family, or playing organized online games where Voice Comm can make them more exciting and productive. It can also be used in an enterprise environment as a productivity tool for conducting long distance group discussions. This would also help when using group collaboration programs that don't provide any kind of voice communication support. A Ventrilo server could be setup in order to complement a web site that has voice interaction with its creators or for communicating with other people who share a common interest. For those people that use Windows or Linux based firewall's to connect their internal home LAN's with the Internet can setup a server on the firewall computer so that friends and family can connect to your server and talk for free. If voice communication isn't your cup of tea then you can always use Ventrilo as a more reliable form of IRC without the hassles or frustration of trying to teach someone how to setup a real IRC client. If your crippling ennui is such that you can’t even decide between a Seven-Layer Burrito and a Quad Stacker, Eating the Road has an amusing flowchart that should help you navigate the bevy of fast-food options. It's based on queries like “Are you drunk?” and “Are you drunk on malt liquor?” Kudos to the site for reminding chicken cravers that Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays. Classic rookie mistake.

By Rachel Tepper · November 15, 2009 MEMPHIS (JTA) -- Southern food, a deep fried country cuisine eponymous with bacon fat and crawfish, is hardly something one would expect to find on a kosher plate. But a Jewish day school here is hoping to change this perception with "Simply Southern: With a Dash of Kosher Soul," a new cookbook chronicling the history and recipes of Southern kosher cooking. Four-and-a-half years ago, the Margolin Hebrew Academy initiated a project that aimed to collect kosher recipes unique to the southern United States. Originally intended to be a modest fund-raiser, the venture far exceeded the school’s expectations by eliciting more than 1,500 responses from Jewish families in the South. The book’s editors, Dena Wruble and Tracy Rapp, said the project started with an ad requesting recipes and personal stories placed in The Hebrew Watchman, the Jewish newspaper for the Memphis community. A team of volunteers recruited by Wruble and Rapp prepared about 500 individual recipes before settling on a mix of 300 dishes ranging from time-honored Southern meals, including fried chicken and macaroni and cheese, to traditional Jewish fare with a distinctly Southern twist, such as latkes with parsnips and chives.

Two young girls were found in a Douglas backyard after wandering a half-mile from their daycare Tuesday afternoon, the Worcester Telegram and Gazette reports.
The unidentified girls, ages 3 and 4, apparently opened a gate at the Within Community Center day care and wandered off. A short time later, the girls were found a half-mile away by a resident in a neighbor's backyard, the paper reports. The man tells the paper he saw the two girls knocking on his neighbor's backdoor. He told the Telegram that he called them over, his wife got them something to drink, and he called 911. Both girls were not hurt, the paper reports.

The GOP's agenda, if fully implemented, would prove catastrophic. Here's what an unfettered Republican Party would do "for" America. By Dennis Rahkonen, The Smirking Chimp. Posted November 13, 2009. Always the political instrument of moneyed elites, and a retrograde societal force, the GOP today is more negatively impactful than ever. Its agenda, if fully implemented, would prove catastrophic. Here's what an unfettered Republican Party would do "for" America: 1) Greatly reduce or entirely eliminate taxes on the rich, thereby forcing hard-pressed working families to painfully make up resulting revenue shortfalls. 2) Bust labor unions, cruelly preventing the collective bargaining that's the key reason why US workers ever won decent wages and benefits. 3) Stubbornly deny the existence of ominous climate change while blithely pumping more pollutants into the environment from lucrative, dirty industries and practices. Although reputable scientists say 350 carbon parts per atmospheric million is the safe limit for sustained life on Earth, Republicans dismiss the frightening fact that we're already at a carbon level of roughly 390 ppm. 4) Remove "restrictive" regulations on everything from investment banks and credit card companies to a broad array of "profit-eroding" consumer protections, leaving the American masses exposed to a host of resulting abuses and dangers.
