Birthdays 2.0: Social networks and growing up

There is nothing better than waking up to hugs, kisses and handmade birthday cards from your wonderful kids. (Oh, the brownies help too!) But this day is also my b-day on the net. It is wonderful to get birthday greetings from friends, loved ones and colleagues via our networks on Facebook, LinkedIn and The People's Lounge, etc. If anyone ever had a birthday that nobody remembered- a very sad day indeed- it is reassuring to get up, turn on the LifeBook and see birthday messages from around the g… Continue

Mike Beirne,
this is Steven Max Elder. I just wanted to say as soon as I hear from Jaime Bode in september I will mail on the 12th of september you by express mail a check for $1500.00 That is the best I can do this book. But there is all kinds of work for you if you want it, from adding public domain music to twitter, facebook , MySpace. I am not sure about music something like on peoples lounge would be nice, plus I have one book complete and another I need to edit. so when I have the funds I will write you or talk about fee's. Thanks for being patient.
you worked hard and I am very grateful. Steven Max Elder

Hey, Mike,
No kidding you are a techno geek past what I had imagined. It hurts my brain to think of all of the things that hurt your brain at work. Anyway, I will be much more communicative in summer.

Dude, it was bad. Had to reinstall XP etc, and forgot to write down my drivers for going online so it's been really slow and I've been really busy (even all weekends!).
But spring break is coming! WooHoo!
Hope you like babyinlove (she wrote to me, too...of course I will not reply).

Blessings,

Hello. Mike Bernie! This is Skippy, AKA( Also known as) Steven Max Elder, Author! Yes it is the truth I have one book out for release titled: "A Schizophrenic Life and Advise" about two weeks ago I recieved a second contract for royalties for another book, A christmas story. It goes into production phases like typsetting, cover and back cover, promotional items like posters, bookmarks, push cards, and buisness cards and then the audio version will be recorded along with the book. This is my second book with the same publisher.
They our planning to have a third by no latter than may 2009.
That book is another fiction story I only wish I could tell you more about the titles and content but by contract I am limited until copyright is complete. So If you would like my books they should be available to me at discount to authors I will bring them to the PI Kappa Alpha Reunion at old Linfield College.
Thanks for making me a friend to peoples Lounge. I will be joing the PI KAPPA ALPHA group over spring break. I'm going to college at one of the Cal State Universities. Finals are in two weeks and I have to pass all my upper division classes
and I have to have two, A's and only one, B, the other I am lucky with a C. I ambright at some works like writing books
I have been told and I have been doing this sinse 2006 writing books. I really enjoy the freedom we are given in the United States to have freedoms to write. I am with a Christian Publisher named Tate Publishing & Enterpises LLC. They like my work and until I leave this earth in the far future I hope, I prayed to God and he says I have a long life ahead of me, sounds like God to me Bernie. Anyway you can google my name as follows: Author Steven Max Elder. you can go to the
home page of MSN.com and follow the same procedure each web site has me in multiple listings, I have even tried Yahoo.com home page and the type in Author Steven Max Elder. Well good writing you and take care. I'll be hopefully will be on the Pike site at Delta Rho soon, Your brother Skippy.

U.S.-Allied Sunni Groups Struggle Under Iraqi Control

The Sunni militias known as the Sons of Iraq, or Sahwa movement, were credited with helping to defeat al-Qaida in Iraq during the U.S. surge that began in 2007. They have fallen on hard times since coming under Iraqi government control a year ago, facing arrest and other troubles.

Iran Cleric's Funeral Becomes Opposition Protest

Further evidence that opposition to the Iranian government remains strong: Tens of thousands turned out for the funeral of a leading dissident cleric — Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri — in the holy Shiite city of Qum.

'Three-Hour Rule' To Address Tarmac Delays

Starting this spring, delayed airliners must return to a terminal or face hefty fines. They must also offer food and water, maintain lavatories and provide necessary medical attention. The outcry over scenes like this one from a stalled 2007 JetBlue flight promoted the new rules.

Eurostar To Resume Service Tuesday

Eurostar said it would resume its high-speed rail service linking Britain, France and Belgium on Tuesday after a three-day suspension that stranded tens of thousands of travelers. The traffic was suspended between Paris and London through the Channel tunnel as experts tried to discover what caused five trains to get stuck while attempting the passage on Friday.

Happy And Insured, Man Has Doubts On Overhaul

Dave Koenig has health insurance through work, and is happy with the plan. But as the health care debate drags on, he says he's losing faith in the overhaul plan. Koenig, who calls himself a conservative, says that at first he was open to President Obama's call to regulate the insurance industry to protect patients. But as lawmakers negotiate behind closed doors, and it's still unclear how much it will cost, Koenig is growing wary of the plan. And he's hoping his health insurance won't change when all is said and done.

Bing Vs. Google: A Weeklong Experiment

James Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic and news analyst for Weekend All Things Considered, talks to Michele Norris about his weeklong experiment using the search engine Bing instead of Google to help him track down facts for his latest Atlantic article.
