If You Were A Condiment…..
July 16th, 2008
Not being much of a condiment person myself and definitely not one for spicy foods, I was a bit surprised when I took this simple quiz and the following was the result:

You Are Hot Sauce |
 You are the life of any party, because you’re so good at bringing people out of their shell. You have a knack for helping people happily embrace their true selves. You are ambitious, driven, and fearless. You love taking risks. Your taste in food is 100% adventurous. |
Wonder what you are?

Where can you find deeply discounted home heating oil?
On the internet of course:
NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. homeowners scared of paying through the roof for heating oil this winter are cruising online classified sites for deals on unwanted fuel — and finding them.
“I have an old pickup truck and I stock it with 50-gallon drums, and I have an oil transfer pump,” said Bob Difiore, a mechanic who lives on Long Island, outside New York City.
“I pull into people’s driveways and lower a hose through a window or other access points and I start pumping it into the drums.”
The deals are possible because many homeowners in the Northeast are switching from heating oil to cheaper natural gas or other alternative fuels, leaving them with tanks full of unused oil. And those still using heating oil are eager to snap it up at a discount as the oil market skyrockets.
“I just went on Craigslist one day and I saw someone selling heating oil. So I put an ad in there saying I was buying,” said Howard Urvine, a real estate agent in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Living in the Northeast in the winter can be a challenge when it comes to monthly utility bills. Those who must have oil delivered to heat their homes took quite a hit already last year.
If this oil is safe an usable then more power to those who do the research and are able to save some of their hard earned money.
Brit Hume to Step Down at End of Year
July 16th, 2008
About the only show I watch on any news channel besides Fox and Friends in the mornings is Brit Hume’s show, “Special Report with Brit Hume”, at 6:00 pm. I love the panel discussion as well as the news delivered in a style that does not tell me what to think, but lets me decide for myself.
I was saddened to read he is going to step down at the end of the year.
Brit Hume, a top anchor and executive with Fox News since the channel was launched 12 years ago, plans to step down at year’s end. But he won’t disappear entirely.
Sources familiar with the situation say that Hume, 65, will give up his job as Washington managing editor and anchor of “Special Report,” the 6 p.m. show that has beaten the cable news competition for seven years. They say he is near a deal to continue with Fox in a senior-statesman role, not unlike that of NBC’s Tom Brokaw, for roughly 100 days a year.
Hume would be a senior political analyst, anchor for special events, panelist on “Fox News Sunday” and occasional substitute for the host, Chris Wallace.
I’m glad he’ll be spending more time with his family, while sad he’ll not be on every night. At least he’ll be around part-time, and I’ll enjoy watching the programs he’s on.
