How to find Angie Miller's New Single "You Set Me Free" on iTunes.



Whoever handled posting Angie's new single "You Set Me Free" to iTunes made a major mistake and spelled her name wrong. Her new single is posted under "Angie Miler."

Major mistake which I'm sure has limited sales.



One way to find it is to only search for the song title:

iTunes - You Set Me Free - Angie Miller

Here's a direct link to Buy “You Set Me Free” on iTunes.

Preview “You Set Me Free” here:


Thanks Rickey

Bonus: Angie Miller - You Set Me Free - American Idol Homecoming - Beverly, MA



Now if you missed the final show, the best part was Angie singing with Adam Lambert and Jessie J. Watch it here. Really fun.

The City of Boston is Preserving the Marathon Memorial.

Fleeting and forever, true to a city that won’t forget:
For all that the Copley Square memorial comprises so many ephemeral items, there’s nothing ephemeral about the motivation behind it, the refusal to forget. The memorial will come down, as it should, though there’s no hurry. The memory of it will remain strong.

The memorial images are composites, digitally stitched together from dozens of individual pictures taken in Copley Square on May 7. Photography by Essdras M Suarez/Globe Staff; digital composition by Robert S. Davis/Globe Staff. Online panorama by Gabriel Florit/Globe staff.

Aereo is not intercepting over-the-air TV broadcasts, just helping them along

Whoa! Samsung LED TV

Hiawatha Bray writes in the Boston Globe, TV-via-Internet company seeks a legal thumbs up:
The controversial Internet TV company Aereo Inc. doesn’t want lawsuits from angry broadcasters to prevent its entry into Boston and other major US markets. So on Monday, Aereo launched a preemptive strike, asking a federal court to rule that its business model is legal.

Aereo, which intercepts over-the-air TV broadcasts and then transmits them over the Internet, currently operates only in New York, but is planning to launch its service in Boston May 15.
After reading this I had to look up intercept:
intercept |ˌintərˈsept| verb
obstruct (someone or something) so as to prevent them from continuing to a destination
Well now that isn't the correct use of wording.

TV signals can't be intercepted.

When I grab a TV signal from my TV antenna, I'm not intercepting it, I'm receiving it.

That's what Aereo is doing.

They are not preventing TV signals from going elsewhere.

The broadcasters are upset though, because when Aereo comes to a city, the broadcasters can lose money.

Here's how, Broadcasters Circle Wagons Against a TV Streaming Upstart:
For several decades companies that were lucky enough to own licenses for local TV stations thrived on advertising revenue alone, and because there was relatively little competition they enjoyed huge audiences and profit margins to match.

As cable and then the Internet introduced new competitors, station owners began to rely on a second revenue source, the so-called retransmission fees that come from the cable and satellite operators that pick up their signals and repackage them for subscribers. Now that they’ve had a taste of these fees, the stations aren’t willing — or able, they say — to go back to the old model of advertising alone.

I want to know a lot more about how this was done.



[Video] DEAD GIVEAWAY - Hero Charles Ramsey Songified!



By Auto-Tune the News Guys, The Gregory Brothers:
The Gregory Brothers have generally produced a mixture of both political and non-political videos. The Auto-Tune the News series has continued to focus primarily on political material, while many of the non-political videos have been given the new branding Songify This.

LYRICS:
I knew somethin was wrong when a
little pretty white girl
ran into a black man's arms

dead giveaway, dead giveaway
my neighbor got big testicles
cause we see this dude everyday
we eat ribs with this dude,
but we didn't have a clue
that that girl was in that house,
she said please help me get out

so I opened the door, we can't get in that way
a body can't fit through the door, only your hand
so we kick-kicked the bottom,
and she comes out, and she says
it's some more girls up in that house
call 911 and they caught him
at mcdonald's

I knew somethin was wrong when a
little pretty white girl
ran into a black man's arms

Note: Charles says "we" in the interview. Looking for news on who else was with him when he tried to open the door.

Update: A neighbor was also there - [Video] Anderson Cooper Interviews Cleveland Hero Charles Ramsey

Update 2:

Another Man, Angel Cordero, helped free missing Cleveland women Berry, DeJesus and Knight: 'I did what had to be done':
Now-Internet sensation Charles Ramsey was not the only person to help break down the door of a Seymour Avenue house, freeing three missing women.

“I helped her and I was first,” Angel Cordero told NewsChannel5’s Stephanie Ramirez in Spanish.

On Monday, Ramsey, Cordero and other neighbors in a west side neighborhood of Cleveland helped Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight escape. The women had disappeared in separate cases about a decade ago.

Ramsey arrived after she was outside with the girl,” Cordero said. “But the truth who arrived there, who crossed the street, who came and broke the door, it was me.”

Wintel Tejeda, who lives across the street from the suspect’s house, said others helped and when Berry came out, they gave her a phone.

Why do I take so many photos at Dunkin' Donuts

I do like visiting Dunkin' Donuts every day.

People ask me why do I take so many photos at Dunkin' Donuts.

Since I'm going to the same place every day, I like to challenge myself to try to get unique photo that is different from one I have already taken.

Anyone can walk up to a Dunkin' Donuts and snap a photo, but I like to think before I click.

Maybe I can get a different perpective. Higher, lower, closer, farther away?

I'll also think about what photo apps I have on my iPhone and take a photo to best use the features of the app.

Here are a few taken with iPhone App ColorSplash:
