All the hot entertainment acts get to play The White House. It’s the equivalent of a Royal Command Performance.

So when British Prime Minister Cameron showed up for a tent show on March 14th, President Obama invited the hottest British act – Mumford and Sons.

Last night we upgraded to a new WordPress theme.
Among nifty new features and a clean look, NJN Network supports HMTL 5. It will be easier to read on your tablet or smartphone.
This post is one of 4 new formats – it’s an aside. The post that follows is just an image.
Please bear with us during the change and please report any problems.
It’s a brand new day at NJN Network with a new hosting serverOvernight we changed hosting servers at NJN Network.
We’ve checked and doubled checked.
Things seem to be working but let us know if something goes “poof”.
And now a little Bob Dylan and George Harrison, because if not for you…what would we do?

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but NJN Network articles are showing up on other websites, including our good friends over at Oye Times. I’ve had a few people emailing me, warning me that people are stealing our content.
They’re not stealing, I’m encouraging them to steal. Here’s the deal, and I’ve actually said this for and years: feel free to use NJN Network articles for anything you like. You don’t need to ask permission. If you find an article that you like, and you’d like to put it on your website, be our guest. Free. You can put it into a website, record it as a podcast, include it your newsletter, etc.
All we ask is that you attribute NJN Network as the original source of the article, unless we copied it from someone else, and that you give credit to the original writer.
If it’s on the web, please provide a link back to the original article on NJN Network. I think that’s fair. Free content for your website in exchange for a link back.
We stole most of this from Universe Today. For a legalistic wording of all this, check out Copyright & Trademarks
Update – Proving once again that spelling is no my forte – Out is not the same as Our – thanks to reader for correction of the title.
Merry Christmas from CBC, sorry you're life is not so merry
Nothing is more obscene than the pampered people at CBC with their annual do-gooder turkey drive. CBC wastes it’s considerable resources attacking the wrong end of the stick.
Do they think one turkey at Christmas will alleviate the crushing weight of poverty or is this all just another WKRP radio station publicity stunt?
If the folks at CBC really carried about Christmas and the message of Christ, they would use their considerable resources to report stories about the reality of PEI’s poverty problem.
A short stint of real reporting at CBC would inform the public and embarrass the government into fixing the problem once and for all.
Dr. Robert Coull wrote that charity drives make him angry. “The need for charity is something that makes me very angry. It reminds me that our society is unjust. The poor continue to be poor, while the rich get richer. Rich people ‘feeling good’ about giving a few dollars or a few hours of their time to the ‘deserving poor’ is something I would love to see the end of.” Continue reading
WordPress.org released 3.0 of the popular blogging and content management system yesterday. The big question is should you upgrade now or wait?
If you’re like me, it’s upgrade and damn the torpedoes. However, recent crisis with hosting and other blog disasters has made me gun shy.
The new version of WordPress has loads of powerful and cool features. You can manage multi-sites from one login. Like many people with multiple blogs that will save time.
There are new post types beyond the original five or post, page, attachments, revisions and nav menus. New post types reflect the multi-media reality of the web today: photo posts, quotes, chats, audio / podcasts and video. This will enable us to make our blogs media richer.
