I've been using 2.7 for a couple of weeks and haven't had any problems at all so far. - Matthew Bennett

wow. Just tried it too. Very impressive: I really like how you can customize things. Interesting to see the speed at which wordpress is mutating compared to blogger. I am wondering why google is not pushing harder in this front. This is one of the few services on the web I pay a subscription for. - Edwin Khodabakchian

M & M - Parastoo

Yes. Just God knows and He would bring the best if you just trust Him - Medad Rangi

"Late-night drinkers are to be given tea and biscuits as part of a taxpayer-funded scheme to cut rowdy behaviour at closing time. Bars will also play classical music after last orders in an attempt to soothe patrons before they spill out into the street. The pilot scheme is part of a £30,000 package of measures designed to counter anti-social behaviour at a late night trouble spot in north west London. A spokesman for Brent council said that the "quirky" new approach had been shown to work in American towns. "There is research that shows if you can calm people down before they leave the premises there is much less chance that they will fight in the streets," he said. "We are not certain it's going to work but it has been used in certain US cities and it has been reasonably effective."" - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

OMGz.. he went to Jared - Shawn Farner

Jandy, I agree that the 'special places' one is endearing, and I believe that is from Kay Jewelers. But I like that one for exactly the reason I HATE the Jared ones: the ring is a symbol of the relationship they've had together. It's not about where the stinkin' ring came from =/ - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

yeah I hate those too, I will never go to Jared's and shun people who go there lol - Zehn

I hate OpenID. Password managers contradict all of OpenID's advantages. - Larry Hudson

Nathan - thank you. THIS is why I love FriendFeed so much. Good, insightful discussions from all views. Will definitely be doing a follow-up post. Thanks, everyone! - Mona N.

"Relevance to every-day people"? Yawn. That old thing again. I stopped caring about that a long time ago. OpenID makes my life easier. If you are happy doing things inefficiently, feel free. I'll be able to put my feet up while you are doing all the stuff that takes me no time at all. I use OpenID for the same reason I use a command line rather than Windows, vim rather than Word - a bit of extra geekiness means a lot less work later on. - Tom Morris

"Making my way to the subway on a late winter morning in 1999, I picked up a copy of “Torah Times” from the plastic dispenser on the corner of Kingston Avenue and Eastern Parkway. “Torah Times” is the self-declared “largest Jewish weekly shoppers guide” selling anything and everything, from gefilte fish to sneakers. Half-heartedly flipping through it, I stumbled on eight pages of listings devoted to The Manhattan Mincha Map. Together, they provide a directory of all the places in Manhattan where Jewish men may come to recite Mincha –the afternoon prayer- with a minyan, the required quorum of ten. Some of the locales are synagogues or houses of study. However, most are actual workplaces, such as pizza parlors, shipping offices, printing shops, jewelry shops, and so on." - Anna Haro

Mincha is the shortest of the three daily prayers. It consists mainly of the “Shemonah Esrei” or “Amidah,” a group of nineteen blessings. “Amidah” comes from the Hebrew “la’amod,” which means “to stand.” It is recited while standing at attention, symbolic of the posture of the angels. Jewish tradition credits the patriarch Isaac, son of Abraham, with the authorship of the Mincha prayers. Unlike his father, whose life is associated with kindness, Isaac’s was marked by justice. Mincha is a time when actions are scrutinized by the divinity, and the faithful are judged for their daily service to God. This “daily service” commemorates the daily offerings before the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. - Anna Haro

I had a hat like those once & a lady stopped me in a grocery store and asked if I were a Jewish priest. I laughed and confirmed her ministry observation, but had no clue about the hat:) I left it in a church somewhere and I have not found a replacement since:( - Roney Smith

Two turntables and a microphoooooonnnnnneeeee! - Derrick
