But the Dow ended the day DOWN 15.69 points - lest anyone think there was a gain for the day.

I would say the Dow was UP over 300 - just that the market overcame a 300 point down day.

Not Anymore

Heh, another little gem in that article:

Quote:

As part of its suit, the FTC revealed that Whole Foods Chief Executive Officer John Mackey made anonymous postings on Yahoo! Inc.'s financial message boards promoting his company from 1999 to 2006 using the name ``rahodeb.''

Mackey is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the company's board is internally reviewing his actions.

Anyone wanna bet his wife's/mother's/daughter's name is Deborah?

Good guess!

Quote:

Mackey married Deborah in 1992; they have no children, but Mackey is close to the two children of former longtime girlfriend Mary Kay Hagen

this is my favorite:

Quote:

As a student of philosophy and religion at the University of Texas at Austin in the 1970s, Mackey thought a vegetarian co-op might be a nice place to find a girlfriend

Pity, I did some good stuff on there, but I understand why, because I didn't use it *that* often, and CS is not a cheap program. (Naturally I made mention of the much-less-expensive-yet-still-nicely-functional PS Elements, for his future reference)

Have you checked out GIMP? I've not used it but I've heard it's a good substitute - and free!

What idiot forgets to renew their domain name only in the most heavily trafficked month of the year for Valentino fans?

{raises hand} that would be me

Not only did I forget to renew, I did not (beyond idiotically) not update my info and change of email address with netsol when I moved back here last summer. (WTF, I changed everything else?) Fortunately, I knew it was coming up (I missed by 5 days) and I still have the barest basic earthlink email at $3 a month which just sent me a reminder (but I am about to kill earthlink as almost nothing but spam is in there now).

Now I wait to see how long it takes for lunarpages and network solutions to recognize I've renewed and my account is in good standing and regenerate my site

Quelle Dumbhead....

One teeny tiny glimpse of hope peeking out. I don't even want to talk about it for fear the forest sprites will interfere and spoil any good luck. (I feel like I'm back in Russian class, suddenly.)
