Period. Vonage is an Internet telephony service. You plug a little box into your cable modem or dsl line and then plug your phone (or entire house phone system) into the box, and all your calls are routed through the Internet. The quality is equivalent to regular phone almost all the time, unless you’re using alot of your bandwidth for other purposes, and you get extra features like your voicemails being accessible on the web or being emailed to you, etc. The craziest thing, though, is that it costs $25 per month for unlimited local AND national long distance. That’s $15 per month less than I was paying Bell South just for local service ($40 per month).

Southernrants at Sue's Place
Spring Makeover?
Sue from SouthernRants is refashioning her site into "Sue's Place".
I need to do some spring making over my own self. Boy howdy!
Pop in and say hello!

THE LIBERAL MEDIA
via Scrutiny Hooligans
We won't get fooled again...
(Yeah, right!)
Some would have you believe everything is hunky-dory in Iraq.
Hunky-dorian for whom, I ask.
From what I have seen it is hunky-locrian at best.
And no where near mixolydian, not to mention hypomixolydian...
Were Mahler here to sort things out,
he'd say the trumpets blown in caps
Mock the bugles playing Taps
which Armerichair ears will never hear.
Armchair America. A kiss conceals a bite.
A hug, a stranglehold.
While quakebuttock Cornfeds confound confeds
sleeping gently in their beds
as bombs crash through the ceiling
10 thousand miles away.
Hey!
The Liberal Media is in town!
It is dressed in beige and brown.
It signals through the flames
detractors outing Plames
Humptyhillhead humbly dumbing down
town humming in the hummer mummer parade
charade. She her a zade.
From whom the horses speak
of blinds and blinding visions
of Vishnu rising from the sands
Come the take on where it's at.
If only the lines could be red between,
So blew the daze of our lies.
[From the Bad Poetry Series, "Nonny's Barrelscrape: Edict 49".]
Le futur de la Caroline Blogosphere : Édition De Charlotte
Comment et pourquoi Blogs changera le futur
Comme nous explorons le futur de la Caroline du nord, nous aux anonyMoses tamisera par les idées des bloggers régionaux, avec l'emphase particulière sur des bloggers de région de Charlotte... avec la logique étant triple. D'abord, je suis ici. Je suis un blogger de Charlotte. La deuxième raison étant que la colline de Greensboro et de chapelle ont déjà a après, en ce qui concerne blogging et le blogosphere... et certainement un présent dynamique. Charlotte, d'autre part, est plus de futur, moins après. Mais par écrit au sujet de Charlotte blogging, et comment il se relie au futur de la Caroline du nord, ce sera une joie nécessaire pour consulter et se rapporter aux succès et aux leçons de la colline de Greensboro et de chapelle...Dans le meilleur des cas, chaque bloggercon de réussite avancerait tout ce qui a été appris de chacune de ceux précédants, puis l'essai pour s'améliorer sur lui manières de bonnes et de roman. Par exemple, nous voulons avoir un mélange plus équitable des hommes et des femmes, et un éventail, socio-économique et racial. La musique de phase pendant et après que la conférence soit discutée, et nous espèrent que la vaste et merveilleuse de musique scène de Charlotte participera, avec la musique et les blogs. Mon espoir est que la soirée apportera un concert libre comportant des musiciens et des artistes de secteur, qui si tout va bien aussi blog. D'ici peu ce sera le cas qu'une bande devra simplement annoncer leur concert sur leur blog afin d'emballer l'endroit. Il happeing déjà, sûrement.Et quand un blogger légèrement chevronné voyage à un autre environnement blog-riche, tel que Greensboro, colline de chapelle, Asheville... lui ou elle n'a pas besoin d'être un étranger en ville. Annoncez que vous prenez le voyage, et chargez-vous de rencontrer les bloggers locaux au-dessus du café ou du thé vert. Il déjà est fait. Dans mais un filet jusqu'ici cependant.Parmi les bloggers de Charlotte-secteur que j'ai recueillis, jusqu'ici, est ce qui suit. Pendant que je procède, j'espère trouver les secteurs qui ont besoin se développer, et puis essaye d'affecter le changement vers le corriger, rapportant l'échec ou le succès, comme se produit. Je pense que vous constaterez qu'il y a une gamme assez étendue parmi les bloggers suivants, mais les suggestions sont plus que la bienvenue.

Charlotte, por otra parte, es más futuro, menos más allá de. Pero en escribir sobre Charlotte blogging, y cómo se relaciona con el futuro de Carolina del Norte, consistirá una alegría necesaria para consultar y para referir a los éxitos y a las lecciones de la colina de Greensboro y de la capilla...Idealmente, cada bloggercon que tiene éxito traería adelante todo que fue aprendida de cada uno el preceder, después intento para mejorar sobre él de maneras buenas y de la novela. Por ejemplo, deseamos tener una mezcla más equitativa de hombres y de mujeres, y una gama más amplia, socio-economically-econo'mico y racial. La música viva durante y después de que se esté discutiendo la conferencia, y nosotros esperamos que la escena extensa y maravillosa de Charlotte de la música participe, con música y blogs. Mi esperanza es que la tarde traerá un concierto libre que ofrece a músicos y a los artistas del área, que esperanzadamente también blog. Después de poco tiempo será el caso que una venda apenas tendrá que anunciar su concierto en su blog para embalar el lugar. Happeing ya, seguramente.Y cuando un blogger algo chevronné viaja a otro ambiente blog-rico, tal como Greensboro, colina de la capilla, Asheville... él o ella no necesita ser un extranjero en ciudad. Anuncie que usted está tomando el viaje, y arregle resolver los bloggers locales sobre el café o el té verde. Se está haciendo ya. En solamente un chorrito hasta ahora sin embargo.Entre los bloggers del Charlotte-a'rea que he recolectado, están hasta ahora los siguientes. Mientras que procedo, espero encontrar las áreas que necesitan convertirse, y después intento afectar el cambio hacia corregirlo, divulgando falta o éxito, como sucedo. Pienso que usted encontrará que hay una gama bastante amplia entre los bloggers siguientes, pero las sugerencias son más que la recepción.

Ik denk u zult vinden dat er een vrij breed spectrum onder volgende bloggers is, maar de suggesties zijn meer dan welkom. Oi.

US Military shooting at journalists again...
U.S. Fires on Car Carrying Freed Hostage
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - American forces fired on a car carrying a freed Italian hostage as it approached a checkpoint in Baghdad on Friday, killing an Italian intelligence officer and wounding three others, including the just-released journalist, Italian officials said.

YOU ARE BEING FRAMED
Create a poll. Ask questions like:
Clean Air. For or Against?
FOR
AGAINST
Clean Water. For or Against?
FOR
AGAINST
Choices. For or Against?
FOR
AGAINST
When framed in this way, which is clear and straightforward...most people would proclaim that they are for clean air, for clean water, for choices, and so on. And so those whose livelihoods include dirtying up the water and air, or taking away people's choices...frame the question differently.
Industry regulations. For or Against.
FOR
AGAINST
So suddenly the issue is not clean air, rather it is regulations.
But polluters are catching on. And so with one hand they take away the restrictions on polluting, and with the other, call it something that sounds appealing to the "clear" (literally) majority, by calling it something that sounds warm and fuzzy, like "Clear Skies", "Healthy Forests", "No Child Lying Liars"...no wait, I think it was "No Child LEFT BEHIND". A take off on "Kiss My Left Behind", no doubt...
The whole idea of "compassionate conservatism" is, Lakoff writes, an Orwellian construct masking the true intent of the policies. The key craftsman of this strategy is "the right's language man, Frank Luntz," who notes that conservatives can gain the upper hand--even when science is against them--by using language strategically. "People who support environmentalist positions like certain words," Lakoff writes in Elephant. "They like the words healthy, clean and safe because these words fit frames that describe what the environment means to them. Therefore, Luntz says, use the words healthy, clean and safe whenever possible, even when talking about coal plants or nuclear power plants.

I was turned on to George Lakoff in the mid-80s, when my Semantics teacher put "Metaphors We Live By" on the reading list. It was tremendous then, and remains so. A smallish book, I would highly recommend it to those interested in language, metaphors, politics or Lakoff.

National ID Card, Passport to Police State?
I read this thought-provoking piece at the blog of one of the pioneers of community blogging, Jay Ovittore:
This past week, the House of Representatives passed bill HR 418, the bill that introduces the Real ID Act (National ID card). I see this move as a passport to a police state. A few tidbits on the National ID card:
1)States have the option to opt out, but that means they would not receive grants from the government for their DMV and licensing divisions.
2)If you do not get a National ID card, you can not enter any federally owned building, board an airplane,etc... you get the point.
3)This is the scary part, there has been discussion about a homing chip (RFID chip, Radio Frequency ID Chip) to track where you are as well as what you buy, etc... The implement of Biometric Info such as retina scans and DNA info. Big Brother not only watching but recording into a database who you are, what you do, etc...

Meet Charlotte Democrats
Pizza is Fuel
The Age of Exuberance. Part Two
Please introduce yourselves. I told them tonight of the upcoming bloggercon, and they thought: "Who are you?" A great bunch of folks, but not yet blogging, sadly.
In an effort to gather a healthy group of bloggers for the upcoming Bloggercon, I find myself hurling myself into conversations, and blurting out all manner of alien noises which sounds a lot like "bbblog", or something similar. Frog maybe. But visions create their own energy. And when this energy is multiplied among resonant others, the only word to describe such a state is exuberance. The first Age of Exuberance had its visions, then its realities. And now at the inflection of the Second Age of Exuberance...the synergy is palpable. The possibilities our new frontier.
It is not for one political side or party or team though, but should include all views, all peoples.Spread the word wherever you can. Either that, or just accept what those who are left behind to work the old machinery try to sustain a way-way monologue.
I tend to vote Democratic, but would never want to cut off voices I may not agree with.
As long as people are civil, many of the former walls that separated people can come down.
Blogs may be a way to "tear down that wall". Not necessary compromise one's principles or standards, but rather instead to learn that no one is the monsters some would like to portray.
And indeed...would-be enemies, such as bloggers and newpaperpeople, at the previous bloggercons, shared information, and friendships and partnerships were formed. The community benefited and grew...as the world watched and many cheered.
And just when you thought Information was being swallowed up, and disposed, by global conglomerates, the Information squeaks through the cracks of this blog then that, and is free.
Join in the great dialogue.
Be a part of history.
Become a blogger. Because.
No matter where you go, there you are.
And it's better to be a live dog than a dead lion.

Harvard Presidents Throughout History
Harvard Gazette
I had the good fortune of taking a class given by the wondrous Peter Gomes on the history of Harvard, which turned out to be also a history of universities, and many were the delightful boluses of pregnant information as Learning marched forever onward. Well, I say "forever". I really mean "in fits and starts".
The first president of Harvard, was a bit of a kook, and had no idea what his institution would become. His wife served the boys a stew made of things better served flushed, and he was chased out of the country and hunted like a dog. Little did he know that he would be the first head of what would become the first corporation in the western hemisphere, and the first college or university to boldly say they had the right to confer degrees, thus paving the way for every other college and university in America, when, in 1693, President Mather said: 'The General Court of Massachusetts, the Governor, Council, and people of New England have named and established Harvard College as a University (academia), with authority to confer degrees, in the manner of the English Universities.'
There have been many presidents since Dunster, most a good deal better. Hard not to be, really, unless your name is LARRY SUMMERS. (Just kidding!) I just think it is a style issue, but I will get to that in a minute.
Things seemed to pick up a bit when President Eliot took the reins...he and his wall of books. He, who was more popular than the President of the United States. He who determined to lure the best minds in the world to Cambridge, and thus make Harvard a national treasure.
President Rudenstine
Book learning alone might be got by lectures and reading; but it was only by studying and disputing, eating and drinking, playing and praying as members of the same collegiate community, in close and constant association with each other and with their tutors, that the priceless gift of character could be imparted.
—Samuel Eliot Morison, The Founding of Harvard College
Then came Lowell, who widened and enclosed the institution, by making it more of a university, AND more of a college. He also opened the doors to common folk.
His vision of creating colleges, or Houses in the English model, where students could live together, guided by wise mentors, and work on developing their character as well as their minds was not lost on the presidents, who seemed to embody a gentle style of tolerant, genuine curiosity -- a style which invites discussion in a way that pain nor shock would seem appropriate. And yet that tradition may be on pause, while President Summers re-reads his histories.
Surely it is not because he is an MIT man, rather than the typical Harvard, Princeton or Oxford man, occupying the post. Surely it is not some stunt, like the huge MIT banner rising from the Harvard-Yale game.
Go back, and read the lives of Eliot, Lowell, Bok, Rudenstine, but also read Dunster.
There is a pattern, an evolution, an evolving style. And arrogance is a disease, not something you wear like a stole.
You are a smart man. But we are more than heads. We are also more than Math and Science, even if MIT may have led you to believe otherwise.
Why are not more men in chorus? If everyone sang there would be a chance of peace. A window. And where is all this Math and Science taking us? Better bombs? Better chemical weapons? Advanced forms of Death?
Considering so much of what it goes toward, I don't see why more people don't simply walk away from it. No need to say that some haven't the aptitude, when the attitude become the problem. I am reminded of the "Gays in the Military" "issue". Why would gays, or anyone, want to go into the military in the first place? I thought the idea was to "ride the right horse", and if one takes you where you don't want to go, then refuses to bring you back...what kind of horse is that?
And so it comes down to horses. Don't be a horse's arse.
End of transmission.
[Correction: Nathaniel Eaton was the first president, but Dunster was the first in a continuous line. The "Lost Colony" of Harvard Presidents. And it was he whose wife served up the poop, and was run out of the country. He wound up dying in debtor prison. Dunster was only run out of the colony of Massachusetts. Can't believe I forgot that after only 20 years! ]

White House press corps flap is far from over
via The Charlotte Observer
White House press corps flap is far from over
excerpt:
The White House correspondent formerly known as Gannon has quit his job and acknowledged his real name, which is Guckert.
And his employer, a conservative Web site operated by Texas Republican activists, having already erased all traces of "Gannon," announced Thursday that it was unplugging its Web site to "reevaluate operations."
But the Jeff Gannon/James Guckert saga is far from over. It remains unclear how a graduate of a conservative training program, someone with no previous journalism experience, someone whose writings were often lifted directly from White House press releases, still managed to gain access to the White House press room, where he spent two years lobbing gentle questions at the press secretary and the President.

Inside The 'Gannon' Case: How Blogs Broke It Wide Open
For the first time last month, I was able to follow a 'blog probe' from the start, and it was amazing to see the resources and skills the larger sites can bring to bear on a single issue or controversy.

The citizen-journalism movement is where journalism is heading. Newspapers, if they want to stay in the game, need to acknowledge the 'lecture' model of journalism is dying, and join in the 'conversation.'

Biography of the Presiding Bishop
XXV Presiding Bishop The Episcopal Church, USA, Frank Griswold
The Presiding Bishop was educated at St. Paul's School in Concord, N.H. and earned an A.B. in English literature at Harvard College (1959). He attended the General Theological Seminary and earned his B.A. and M.A. in theology at Oriel College, Oxford University (1962, 1966). He has received honorary degrees from the General Theological Seminary, Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, Nashotah House, Sewanee and Berkeley Divinity School at Yale.
Queens University of Charlotte now featuring Men with Runic Ears
(Note the center rune.)
Queens University of Charlotte, where a collection of men can spell a word.
It wasn't that long ago that Charlotte's Queens University was just Queens College -- an uppity college for bright Southern Presbyterian belles, resembling Andover though a few Kennedys shy.
But look at it now! Well, it still looks like Andover, but deep down we all know it is a University, and that there are now crawling through the halls...men. And boys. Males who have runeshaped ears, and men with ears with a more Sanskritish curvilinearity, although not dropped from a line like so much laundry.
Sample Charlotte's Tweak & Beat
Tweak & Beat
Small Spaces
Yui walked quietly down the graffitied street. Thoughts floated away like the distant music falling from an above apartment window.
'Sounds familiar' she thought walking closer to the place where Haki would be waiting.
It was a nice little neighborhood, wireless, connected to the world in a most natural and unique way.

The Future of the Carolina Blogosphere: Charlotte Edition
How and Why Blogs will Change the Future
As we explore the future of North Carolina, we at anonyMoses will be sifting through the ideas of regional bloggers, with particular emphasis on Charlotte area bloggers...with the logic being three-fold. First, I am here. I am a Charlotte blogger. The second reason being that Greensboro and Chapel Hill already have a past, as regards blogging and the blogosphere...and certainly a dynamic present. Charlotte, on the other hand, is more future, less past. But in writing about Charlotte blogging, and how it relates to the future of North Carolina, it will be a necessary joy to consult and refer to the successes and lessons of Greensboro and Chapel Hill. The third reason is that I want to add to the discussion taking place at the Tarheel Tavern, where North Carolina is the main topic, as well as take away from it, both ideas and inspiration.
Ideally, each succeeding bloggercon would bring forward all that was learned from each of the preceding ones, then try to improve upon it in good and novel ways. For example, we want to have a more equitable mix of men and women, and a wider range, socio-economically and racially. Live music during and after the conference is being discussed, and we hope that Charlotte's vast and wondrous music scene will participate, both with music and blogs. My hope is that the evening will bring a free concert featuring area musicians and artists, who hoefully also blog. Before long it will be the case that a band will just have to announce their concert on their blog in order to pack the place. It is already happeing, surely.
And when a somewhat seasoned blogger travels to another blog-rich environment, such as Greensboro, Chapel Hill, Asheville...he or she needn't be a stranger in town. Announce that you're taking the trip, and arrange to meet the local bloggers over coffee or green tea. It is already being done. In but a trickle as yet though.
Among the Charlotte-area bloggers I have gathered, as yet, are the following. As I proceed, I hope to find areas that need developing, and then try to affect change toward correcting it, reporting failure or success, as happens. I think you will find that there is a fairly wide spectrum among the following bloggers, but suggestions are more than welcome.
