eBay has changed their linking policy! You can no longer link to any websites outside of eBay that you sell items on in your About Me Page! I read on the forums that some people have already received warnings and/or had their accounts suspended over this crap :P
"The new Links Policy prohibits linking from a seller's listing or other content on eBay--including eBay Store pages, About Me pages, eBay Blogs, Reviews and Guides, and forums--to any site that offers a product or service for sale off eBay..... Sellers who do not comply may be restricted, forfeit fee credits, or be suspended.... Enforcement of the new policy will begin in July. "
I'm looking for face painters in the SE PA area that would be willing to travel to Spring City, PA to work at a concert/masquerade party at Chaplin's Music Cafe on August 8th. The concert is scheduled to start around 8 pm and will probably go on until at least 11 pm. The band playing that night is Coyote Run. If you're interested, or know someone that might be, post a comment or send me a message with your contact info, and I'll pass it along to the band. Feel free to cross post. Thanks!!
LOS ANGELES - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.
Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine called "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television." A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of the routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
In the 1978 case, Federal Communications Commission vs. Pacifica Foundation, the top U.S. court ruled that the words cited in Carlin's routine were indecent, and that the government's broadcast regulator could ban them from being aired at times when children might be listening.
Carlin's comedic sensibility often came back to a central theme: humanity is doomed.
"I don't have any beliefs or allegiances. I don't believe in this country, I don't believe in religion, or a god, and I don't believe in all these man-made institutional ideas," he told Reuters in a 2001 interview.
Carlin, who wrote several books and performed in many television comedy specials, is survived by his wife Sally Wade, and daughter Kelly Carlin McCall.
Can anyone recommend a good place to get a plain black tricorn hat for an affordable price? I'd prefer leather, but can't find anything under $100. I'll settle for wool, but will have to make a lining for it, since I'm allergic to wool. I've already checked most of the big sites that are advertised in the Rennie magazines; just wondering if there's any smaller places that might have them. Red Molly needs a new pirate hat. I like my cavalier style hat, but I really want a tricorn this year. :)
