			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have gotten a bunch of random facebook spam emails from people I haven&#8217;t heard from in years telling me to check out a link that as it would turn out is complete spam and a potential virus (people please verify via comments). The subject says &#8220;<strong>Veryy goodd vid withh youu&#8221; </strong>and the message contains some form of link with extremedemonstration or mymovies or some sort of random nonsense that is complete and total junk mail.</p>
<p>Facebook has officially started sending spam emails, or at the very least, people&#8217;s accounts are being compromised by a virus, spyware, malware, or hacking; however you put it it&#8217;s not good. I have no doubt that facebook will fix it soon, however, this is the most recent of many &#8220;attacks&#8221; launched against facebook. </p>
<p>With that being said, I could go on and on about the recent changes that have taken shape at facebook but for now let&#8217;s just fix this problem. Whenever I receive an email from Facebook I&#8217;m nervous enough that someone tagged an awkward photo of me or that and old flame messaged me, the last thing I want is a nasty spam message or raunchy redirect with a virus twist. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week the annual Art Basel fair brought its usual cavalcade of mega-dealers, collectors and celebrities. Among them was Brad Pitt who picked up a piece by <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5g5QM2C6tS2BqjSm0m1kK9ipwKaNAD98O1HBO1/">Neo Rauche, Etappe</a> or “stage.”</p>
<p><img src="http://www.newsandnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/aleqm5hvyf2envlizcsclns_ohw-6oup-w.jpg" alt="Brad Pitt shops Art Basel" title="Brad Pitt shops Art Basel" width="186" height="248" class="alignright size-full wp-image-371" /></p>
<p>Offered by the David Zwirner Gallery in New York, the piece was shown as one of Rauch’s best, advertised as employing an “enigmatic and dreamlike” scene of a race car in the service “pit” mid-race. The piece was listed at a staggering price of $680,000 euro or $960,000.</p>
<p>In a market where pricey modern art sales have taken a serious dive, Pitt certainly turned heads with his acquisition. He and partner Angelina Jolie are known for their love of modern artists such as the controversial Banksy of the UK, making the addition of the Rauch painting is no surprise. </p>
<p>Rauch is among Europe’s top artists with his daring combination of Eastern Bloc realism with Western abstraction. The purchase of the Ettape paining by celebrity Pitt will certainly raise the artist’s profile even higher. </p>
<p>This is the 40th anniversary of Art Basel in Switzerland, featuring works from over 2,500 artists. </p>

<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day is set aside to remember to show your friends and family just how much you really do care for them. It&#8217;s not only a day to appreciate the special partner in your life, but to show all of those you are connected with that you think about them and enjoy their relationships. Whether it&#8217;s a friend, a spouse, a mom, a brother, a teacher, an old high school peer, or simply an acquaintance, everyone deserves to know how much you deeply or humorously feel for them.</p>
<p>Facebook and Myspace have been the great connectors of our generation.  For free, you can set up an account and stay connected with friends and family that are right next door or thousands of miles away.  Show all of your relationships just how much you truly appreciate them by sending Myspace or Facebook Valentine&#8217;s Day gifts in just a few clicks.</p>
<p>Myspace and Facebook Valentine&#8217;s day gifts are easy to distribute and you won&#8217;t forget anyone that you know.  Simply go to either of this website:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lavacards.com/ecard/valentine-cards/facebook.html">http://www.lavacards.com/ecard/valentine-cards/facebook.html</a></p>
<p>Just find the Valentine you&#8217;d like to send and copy and paste it in your Facebook or Myspace account.  It&#8217;s as simple as that to pass on your love and appreciation!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day is coming up! It always reminds me of how much I love my friends and family. Are you like me?

If so, there are some fun and easy ways to do that with Myspace valentines day comments. If you do a quick Internet search you will come across several different web sites that offer different, fun and unique comments and cards that you can send to your friends and family &#8212; from your Myspace right to their Myspace.</p>
