		<title>How Did I Miss This One?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Call the Nestle Hot line at 1-800-295-0051.
When asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish, wait quietly for about 10 seconds and you will smile.
Keep going and press 4.
Then press 7.
Thanks again to My Bossier!

		<title>But At Least It Doesn&#8217;t Sound Like It Looks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was complaining over at Amba&#8217;s place a few days ago how some videos/visuals distract and subtract from the songs they are trying to illustrate rather than add value.
Well&#8230; since then, Jim at My Bossier opened my eyes to how it could be worse. But much funnier. Literally.

		<title>It&#8217;s All Beginning To Sound The Same</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Momma used to say that all the music I listened to sounded like just noise. Now I say to my kids that the music they listen to all sounds alike&#8230; which makes it similar to just noise.
What will my grandchildren hear? Chances are it will pretty close to the same thing I heard and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old-fashioned Sounds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Via Megan McArdle, here&#8217;s Slate&#8217;s In Search of Lost Sounds: Why you&#8217;ve never really heard the &#8220;Moonlight&#8221; Sonata.
Because a lot of people my age grew up hearing more of the old, out of tune upright pianos prominently featuring chipped ivories and a funky smell&#8230; than we did well-made, well-cared for, and thus rare, older pianos, it&#8217;s easy [...]]]></description>

		<title>MSNBC Aims For The Hysteria Channel Niche</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw the headline &#8220;Is nature out of control?&#8221; earlier today and read the story which now bears the headline, Big quake question: Are they getting worse?
I thought the following was seriously stupid, considering the age of the earth:
One scientist, however, says that relative to the time period from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s, Earth has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Emotional Pandering For Political And Personal Gain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
This is the first time I&#8217;ve ever watched an entire Olbermann segment. I am left disgusted and angry. Oh yes, I feel sorry for his father, but I can&#8217;t quite summon up much sympathy for someone who would use an ill family member in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Henrietta Lacks, Immortal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is the vitality of Henrietta Lacks and her descendants that captured my imagination while reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
It&#8217;s just a darned good story and it pushes all my &#8220;I want to read that&#8221; buttons &#8211; lively characters, science, mystery, public policy and politics, genealogy, plus a few I&#8217;ve probably not yet identified.
When [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seriously Getting Tired of Blogger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why&#8230; does blogger just refuse to publish comments on some blogs lately? Not all&#8230; just some. And not when using IE, but Chrome!!
What&#8217;s up Google? Maybe I should just uninstall Chrome. I have trouble with YouTube with it sometimes too.

		<title>Inspired To File</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to C.G., I&#8217;ve just finished our 2009 taxes, federal and state. Unlike him, I was not inclined to do it by hand. Been there, done that, and no matter how simple our returns are now compared to previous years, I like the software approach.
The most complex year involved 4 non-resident state returns, including California which required [...]]]></description>
