Use a mobile phone to find out who sings a song or what it's called

Hearing a song and not knowing who sings it or what it's called can be very annoying. Fortunately, Shazam provides a service that lets you hold your phone up to any song playing and it will then text you back the artist and track name in a matter of minutes.

All you have to do is dial 2580, listen to the instructions and the rest is techno wizardry -- it had us looking at our phone like it was possessed by Jools Holland himself. The call lasts for 20 seconds and the text with all the information on it costs 50p.

clipper's remarks: The racing industry slaughters horses who fail to make the grade. Stolen pets are slaughtered to feed people in countries who eat horse flesh. A sad indictment of the human race, but some people are working hard to stop this abomination. Please sign their petition.

All Tied Up

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) — It’s a dead heat in the race for the White House. The first national poll conducted entirely after Barack Obama publicly named Joe Biden as his running mate suggests that battle for the presidency between the Illinois senator and Republican rival John McCain is all tied up.

In a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll out Sunday night, 47 percent of those questioned are backing Obama with an equal amount supporting the Arizona senator.

“This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

“Even last week, just before his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate became known, most polls tended to show Obama with a single-digit advantage over McCain,” adds Holland.

Tulips as Perennials

clipper's remarks: all about planting the right tulips for your area

Clip Source: lifeandlawns.com

Last fall, I showed you how to plant tulips using a cordless drill. I am now preparing a series of articles where I’ll show you how to plant hundreds of tulips in a landscape bed without breaking your back. But before we get all happy in the dirt, here is a common misconception associated with Holland’s greatest export that I thought I’d share with you.

Are Tulips Perennial?

Perennial means, “returns every year,” as opposed to annual, which means it lives one year and dies.
In truth, tulips are NOT good perennializers, meaning they don’t grow well the second year after being planted. In fact, many of the great minds in the Tulip world will tell you to dig up your tulip bulbs each year in the late spring and throw them away!

Burn The Speculators- In Hell

How to Burn the Speculators

NEWS: Why is the price of oil so high? Because the Bush administration did to the commodities market what it did to housing.

Whenever economies sour, politicians blame speculators. But on occasion, they are right to do so. Speculators did wreak havoc in 1630s Holland, 1720s France, and in the American stock market in 1929. That crash led to the Great Depression and 60 years of tight controls on speculation. Now, thanks to our 30-year infatuation with free markets, the controls are off, and the mad gamblers are at it again. Yesterday's burst bubble was housing; today's expanding ones are energy and food.

This system works reasonably well so long as speculators do not actually control or manipulate prices. For if they can drive prices way up, they can obviously cash in while the farmer (who has presold his crop) cannot. Strict regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (cftc) is supposed to prevent that.

Kimberly Holland

Where you’ve seen her: When Kimberly Holland isn’t fulfilling her duties as a Playboy Playmate she’s appeared in…uhhh. Um, well, I’m sure she’s done plenty of other stuff. And if not, it’s still way more than you or I will ever accomplish in our lives.

Pointless quote: “I was very decent. I was even a Jehovah’s Witness who went from door to door with magazines and tried to convince people they had to convert in order to live after Armageddon.”

Spider webs

Spider Webs Glamour & Architecture

The above is a “fluffy” web taken in a park in Holland. It isn’t actually an attempt to take over the world but works as a kind of obstacle course. Its intention is to confuse insects and make them more likely to get trapped. It also helps the spider avoid being lunch for its enemies, such as wasps and birds.

Sometimes, many spiders will build webs together. The above is a beautiful picture but gives no real impression of the real size to which group webs can grow. Try the one below!

This giant communal spider web was photographed in Texas and measured over one hundred and eight meters in length. Entomologists think that it may be the results of socialization, with spiders deliberately building webs in unison that merge in to one giant net (for elephants possibly?). However, scientists have no real idea whether the spiders are working in a “Borg” like way or it is simply accidental.

Legalize the shit

clipper's remarks: I don't use the stuff... but look at history. Prohibition encouraged the illegals to produce and transport booze. Legalize marijuana and all this nonsense will cease. Look at Holland for an example. Liberals must be making the decisions in this matter.

Beyond the towering trees that have stood here for thousands of years, an intense drug war is being waged.

Illegal immigrants connected to Mexico's drug cartels are growing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of marijuana in the heart of one of America's national treasures, authorities say. It's a booming business that, federal officials say, feeds Mexico's most violent drug traffickers.

"These aren't Cheech and Chong plants," said John Walters, director of the National Drug Control Policy. "People who farm now are not doing this for laughs, despite the fact Hollywood still thinks that. They're doing it to make a lot of money."

Walters spoke from a "marijuana garden" tucked deep into the Sequoia National Forest
