As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.</span></p> <p style=""><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.</span></p> <p style=""><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.</span></p> <p style=""><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.</span></p> <p style=""><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.</span></p> <p style=""><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.</span></p> <p style=""><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.</span></p> <p style=""><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its shams, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Strive to be happy.</span></p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://donpeer.posterous.com/desiderata-by-max-ehrmann">Don Peer</a> </p> </div>Earth Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02715438825436886566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108819348435803512.post-90736495173234645272013-02-25T15:01:00.001-08:002013-02-25T15:01:47.629-08:00Hotmail phase-out<div class='posterous_autopost'> <p style="margin-bottom: 11.25pt; background: white;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; color: #252525;">Q: What happens if my Microsoft ID/Windows Live ID is tied to Hotmail?

YouTube provides a great way to share your videos with the world but sometimes the world can be a pretty obnoxious place. Most of the comments I've gotten on the videos I share there were friendly or at least neutral, but occasionally someone will post something that goes beyond disagreeable.<p /> If someone decides to spew obscenities in the comments section of one of your posts, you probably don't want those comments to be there when your mom, kids or boss drop in to check out your movie. Dave Taylor shows you how to remove offensive YouTube comments in a recent installment of his blog.</span></p> <p>The link I here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-hidden-aero-lite-theme-windows-8-aero-lite-tweaker">http://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-hidden-aero-lite-theme-windows-8-aero-lite-tweaker</a></p> <p></p> <p>Thanks to WinNews for this one!</p> <p><a href="mailto:winnews@message.gfi.com">winnews@message.gfi.com</a></p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://donpeer.posterous.com/how-to-delete-offensive-comments-on-your-yout">Don Peer</a> </p> </div>Earth Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02715438825436886566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108819348435803512.post-68586443068696700352012-09-17T17:03:00.001-07:002012-09-17T17:03:11.253-07:00"Father of the Blues"<div class='posterous_autopost'> <p>18 years ago today, they put #Blues #Music great Robert Johnson on a stamp... but not without controversy! <a href="http://t.co/S1Qra2jo">http://t.co/S1Qra2jo</a></p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://donpeer.posterous.com/father-of-the-blues">Don Peer</a> </p> </div>Earth Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02715438825436886566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108819348435803512.post-67906799115055556752012-09-15T16:12:00.001-07:002012-09-15T16:12:26.642-07:00Guitar lessons!<div class='posterous_autopost'><p>A nice collection of YouTube video lessons which ProFuzz has mined mined.

The IRS is detecting far fewer fraudulent tax re­fund claims than actually occur, according to a gov­ernment audit that warned the widespread problem could undermine public trust in the U.S. tax system. Although the IRS detected about 940,000 fraudu­lent returns for last year claiming $6.5 billion in re­funds, there were potentially another 1.5 million un­detected cases of thieves seeking refunds after as­suming the identity of a dead person, child or some­one else who normally wouldn’t file a tax return.</span><p /> <span class="abody1">In one example, investigators found a single ad­dress in Lansing, Mich., that was used to file 2,137 separate tax returns. The IRS issued more than $3.3 million in refunds to that address. Three ad­dresses in Florida, the epicenter of the identity theft crisis, filed more than 500 returns totaling more than $1 million in refunds for each address.</span><p /> <span class="abody1">In another troubling scenario, hundreds of re­funds were deposited into the same bank account — a red flag for investigators searching for ID thieves who may be filing for refunds for multiple people. In one instance, the IRS deposited 590 refunds totaling more than $900,000 into one account.</span><p /> <span class="abody1">“We found multiple reasons for the IRS’s inability to detect billions of dollars in fraud,” said J. Russell George,the Treasury Department’sinspector gener­al for tax administration. “At a time when every dol­lar counts, these results are extremely troubling.”</span><p /> <span class="abody1">Topping the list of concerns is the IRS’s lack of timely access to third-party information it needs to verify returns and root out fraud.</span><p /> <span class="abody1">Many Americans are struggling to pay their bills and the IRS takes pride in processing returns and is­suing refunds promptly. But taxpayers can start fil­ing their returns in mid-January, while employers and financial institutions don’t have to submit with­holding and income documents for taxpayers to the IRS until the end of March. That means the IRS often issues refunds long before it can confirm the verac­ity of what’s listed on taxpayer returns.</span><p /> <span class="abody1">Thieves are also exploiting vulnerabilities in the way the IRS delivers refunds, investigators found. Of the 1.5 million undetected cases of potential fraud, 1.2 million used direct deposits, including pre­loaded debit cards. Thieves often prefer those meth­ods to a paper check, which require a physical ad­dress to receive the check and photo ID matching the taxpayer’s name to cash it.</span></span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #261DE1;"></span></p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://donpeer.posterous.com/government-at-work">Don Peer</a> </p> </div>Earth Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02715438825436886566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108819348435803512.post-8873802016937369352012-07-11T15:17:00.001-07:002012-07-11T15:17:58.644-07:00Oh, great!
