Where is the real problem in the entertainment industry? OLD BUSINESS MODELS. Give people what they want – and they're happy to pay. Treat paying customers like criminals and more piracy happens.This reminds me of another business model that got left behind: How many of us have purchased a full set of printed encyclopedias recently? NOBODY!While going door to door, encyclopedia salesmen kept hearing from people ask "Can I get that on a CD?"Their answer was "No".Their sales were dwindling – the salespeople were passing the word on to their business what customers wanted, but the business did not listen because they did not want to lose their print sales.Guess what?They ended up losing ALL sales!(Thanks for sharing the following article, Perry Lloyd!)

Me either, up until yesterday. I had bought a package of mixed nuts and as I was eating them, I was thinking about all of the shells that used to be around all the nuts. I could place all of them in my mind except the cashew!

After researching, I have a whole new appreciation for cashews & wonder why they're so cheap – considering their shells contain anacardic acid, which on contact, produces a response similar to poison ivy and the cashew nuts (seeds) have to be roasted outdoors to destroy the toxin and make them edible. (Outdoors, because the smoke also creates a skin/lung reaction similar to burning poison ivy.)

One cashew nut (seed) grows below each cashew apple. Cashew apples are edible, but the skin is fragile, making it unsuitable for transport. A lot of the tree is used for medicinal purposes, and the anacardic acid itself can be used to fight against tooth abscesses, MRSA, acne & TB.

I'm truly amazed at this plant.

I've come to understand that IE9 does not recognize 99% of HTML5 or 100% of CSS3. (YIKES! This browser is 2 years behind the curve!)Here's a way to get your theme IE9 friendly. It takes all of the HTML5 elements used in the Twenty Eleven theme and parses them so that IE9 can understand them.

So, you view the page in the browser you are having trouble with* and see which ones work in that browser, then use the css code that works! This saved me some time and I love it. I should create this for my site and make it prettier.*99% of the time, that browser is Internet Explorer.
