ABC Reporter Arrested in Denver Taking Pictures of Senators, Big Donorsimage (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/MoneyTrail/story?id=5668622)

Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer on august 27, 2008, as he and a camera crew were attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.

A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producer's arm behind him to put on handcuffs.

The sheriff's officer is seen telling Eslocker the sidewalk is owned by the hotel. Later, he is seen pushing Eslocker off the sidewalk into oncoming traffic, forcing him to the other side of the street.

I heard about the company in a local magazine article. They are based out of a suburb of Denver (Westminister).

Having checked out their website - I found that they are one of the cheapest printers of full size posters. And the reviews of their service are also very good. Definitely going to give them a try.

New Dell ad music - I am green today

The new Dell ad has the very melodious music of Kara Wiley's song - Colors. Believe it or not - the album is labeled as "Yoga for Children". But the music is anything but. Colors is definitely the best track on the album and can be bought from both Amazon.com as well as iTunes.com. But the best way to pick up this CD is through CDBaby, as you get all the songs for $15 and an illustrated booklet to help your kids do some yoga.

Here is a link to her music video for Colors on YouTube.com.

and the Dell Ad featuring the song.

Here are lyrics for the song - Colors.

I am green today
I chirp with joy like a cricket song.
I am gray today
Gloomy and down like a morning fog.
I am orange today
Loud and messy like finger paint on the wall.
I am red today
Hopping mad like a playground ball.
I am black today
Strong and tall a great big bear.
I am purple today
Bright and happy like a butterfly in the air.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world are in me.
I am yellow today
I shine my light out like the sun.
I am white today
Soft and quite like new snow.
I am blue today
Calm as glass and cool like the sea.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world are in me.
All the colors of the world are in me.
