The fondest memories of sweet cakes and fruit pies will live on in the hearts of all of those whose palates you have touched.
There likely will be some copycats in the future but none could hold a candle up to the original in taste, style or namesake.

My comment: they can't get legislation passed, so they are 'voluntarily' going to do this?????

lunarising at All U.S. Internet Providers will be policing downloads by July 12, 2012Please repost this? I have never begged for one of my posts to be boosted. I am just so worried for my friends and want you to know.
According to this article, dated March 15, 2012:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/webne…
"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."
The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.
No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.
Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

Writer's Block: Socially Active
What are your favorite LJ communities?
I love the LotR fan fiction communities especially the ones that have a focus on Frodo/Sam, Hobbit piles, Sean A./Elijah and Dominic /Elijah. I am a freak for small sized pervy little men with hairy feet. I got interested in this fandom really late and I know that I have missed much of the earlier artistic pieces of writing that are probably no longer available on the internet. I only wish there were more communities of this type to feed my appetite for these stories. I do have to say, however, that there are still at this time many good writers out there of this fandom and these particular pairings. Happy reading to all.
Valentines Hearts
I want to thank Frodosweetstuff and Rubyelf for the lovely Valentines Day virtual hearts.
California governor's thoughtless, cruel ways to balance the budget
http://www.ibabuzz.com/garybogue/
I am appalled and saddened that Governor Brown's idea of saving money is to shorten the time for animals to remain in the shelter before being euthanized, lowering the standards of expected care when an animal is unfortunate enough to enter a shelter and killing upon entry rabbits and reptiles.
Please take a moment to email or phone the governor so he can understand that this is not acceptable. His contact info. is on the link.
