Two Pallete Cleaners For the Weekend.
Police Chief Denounce 'Cowardly' iPhone Users
An amusing story from last week.
But I like the fact that Lanier calls these people cowards. Mr Lanier, I do not think it means what you think it means. Nothing says "I am a coward" more than deliberately attempting to avoid law enforcement. Maybe he meant to use the word brazen. Or maybe the word he meant to use was frugal. Because this phone app is being used to save citizens the ridiculous sum of money that a speeding tickets costs.
Remember, speed doesn't kill. If it did we wouldn't be able to fly in airplanes. What kills is speed diferentials.
Couple Acutions Wedding Sponsorship on EBay
Nothing says I love you more than free market capitalism at your wedding.
Why not have Budweiser banners above the bar areas? Why not provide advertisement on the tables? Why not have the DJ announce advertisements during the reception? I am sure I could come up with even more places for advertising. With the cost of weddings now a days, I don't blame people for finding ways to lower the costs. Besides, nothing screams I am a capitalist more than having advertisements at your wedding.
An amusing story from last week.
So let me get this straight. Speed traps are meant to "save lives". I am glad I know that now. All along, I thought cops hidding behind stuff to trap speeders was just another way to fatten the purse of law enforcement. I am glad that is cleared up now.Area drivers looking to outwit police speed traps and traffic
cameras are using an iPhone application and other global positioning
system devices that pinpoint the location of the cameras.That has irked D.C. police chief Cathy Lanier, who promised her
officers would pick up their game to counteract the devices, which
can also help drivers dodge sobriety checkpoints."I think that's the whole point of this program," she told The Examiner. "It's designed to circumvent law enforcement -- law enforcement that is designed specifically to save lives."...
....Lanier said the technology is a "cowardly tactic" and "people who
overly rely on those and break the law anyway are going to get caught"
in one way or another.

Couple Acutions Wedding Sponsorship on EBay

Stacey Libby said marrying the love of her life is like a fairy tale. But then, the Keene, N.H., woman saw the price tag — so she's decided to try to get a sponsor, asking for businesses to use eBay to bid on the rights to her day.I joked about having sponsors at our wedding when my wife and I got married. At the time I thought and still do that weddings offer a number of opportunities for sponsorship. The wedding ceremony itself is not a place for sponsorship since it is a sacred ceremony. But why can't advertisements be sold on the back of programs? Heck most churches provide advertising in their weekly bulletins. Why not on the back of a wedding program? But for me the reception is jackpot for advertising opportunities.
A business can bid to pay for all or part of the wedding, and the couple will let them advertise, WMUR reported. However, Libby will pick the colors. And she's not giving up control over the dress.
