Every e-mail I receive is important, of course, but I'm not great at prioritizing them. And it never fails that thinking, "I'll get to that one later," inevitably leads to, "It's been three months. What the hell happened to that e-mail?" Or, worse yet, forgetting about it all together.

The I.T. Guy sent me a video by tech writer Gina Trapani about taking control of my e-mail inbox. I'm putting it into practice tonight.

If it changes my life, I'll post an update. If it doesn't, I'll pretend I never heard of the whole plan and forget about the post all together.

The Eagle bakery and cafe is hosting a blood drive for the American Red Cross on Thursday, Feb. 11 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Beyond the fuzzy feeling of goodwill and a wad of cotton in the crook of your arm, if you donate, you'll get a free red velvet cupcake.

If you’re like us, you’d sell one of your limbs for some of the baked goodies from Pamela’s, so giving up a pint of blood is a pretty good bargain.

Call 208-938-6585 to set up an appointment.

Idaho Press-Tribune just reported:

Boise police have located and talked with an individual believed to be responsible for the distribution of fliers that prompted several citizens to complain as being objectionable and racist.

Late last year, racist fliers began showing up inside copies of Boise Weekly, as well as at Boise State and, as reported by the Press-Trib, on car windshields.

We posted this copy of the flier on Cobweb in December. The icky parts have been blacked out. Yep, lots of icky parts.

We're all for someone's right to exercise their First Amendment rights, but we'd prefer they didn't use our newspapers or distribution boxes to do it.

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we’ll all board a bus from the (super swank) Westin Hotel in Times Square and make our way to Battery Park where we’ll hop on a ferry for Ellis Island. In addition to the unveiling of the exhibition, there will be performances by the Oinkari Basque Dancers and the Biotzetik Basque Choir, as well as speakers, including: Guillermo Echenique, general secretary of foreign action of the Basque government; Patricia Lachiondo, president of the Basque Museum and Cultural Center and William Douglass, coordinator emeritus of Basque studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. Later in the evening, there will also be a reception at the Puck Building in Soho, where Amuma Says No will give a special rocking performance.

Check back for pictures and updates of tomorrow’s festivities. Agur!

Tired of your mom setting you up on blind dates?

We have a solution. No blind dates. No speed dating. No need to set-up the fake friend call mid-date as a potential opt-out. No strings attached (unless you want them, of course).

Here's the deal: Tuesday, Feb. 11, Boise Weekly is hosting a singles party for members of BW Love, BW's online personals community. And you're invited. First, log onto boiseweekly.com/love and create your free Love profile. Then on Tuesday, shower, deodorize and get yourself looking good. Then head to The Lobby in downtown Boise, where you'll find a room full of BW Love members hanging out with FameFifteen, playing games and throwing back $2 wells and domestic drafts, $3 micros and $5 FameFifteenis.
Show up, scope out the crowd, have a drink and mingle.

If you don't like what you see, finish your drink and head home. If you do, you may never have to sit through another blind date again.

7 p.m., FREE, The Lobby, 760 W. Main St. Information at boiseweekly.com/love or call BW at 208-344-2055.

Rep. Brian Cronin, a Boise Democrat, agreed to both changes and hopes to resubmit the document to the committee for a potential hearing.

The memorial urges Congress to "negate the deleterious effects of the United States Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission." That's the decision that defines corporations as people with regard to electioneering expenditures.

You can read the decision here [pdf].

The memorial starts out downright patriotic:"We the People of the state of Idaho are endowed with certain unalienable rights that are expressly conveyed to people, and not to corporations ..."

Seems obvious enough. But the electioneering law that the Supremes negated applies equally to corporations and unions, and the first draft of the Idaho memorial left out mention of labor unions (though Idaho AFL-CIO boss Dave Whaley sat in the back of the hearing). So several Republicans suggested Cronin take his letter back and add some language reigning in labor as well.

The committee also got hung up on the word "evil" which appeared in the text in the context of a 1907 Senate report on campaign finance. The report stated: "[t]he evils of the use of [corporate] money in connection with political elections are so generally recognized that the committee deems it unnecessary to make any argument in favor of the general purpose of this measure."

We have no argument either. Just don't be evil.

Haitian authorities have charged the group—led by Laura Silsby, a member of Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian—with child abduction and criminal conspiracy, according to the BBC, which seems to have a crack presence on the ground in Port-au-Prince.

"I feel good," Silsby told reporters today, as the group was loaded into a van outside the courthouse. "I trust in God."

In case you missed it, the missionaries, eight of whom are from Idaho, went down to Haiti under the auspices of Silsby's charity, New Life Children's Refuge, to "save" orphans in the wake of the earthquake there. But many of the 33 orphans they gathered up and put on a bus headed to the Dominican Republic turned out to not be orphans at all.

The 10 were arrested last week and charged today, after several days of speculation that they might be sent home to face charges.

The Idaho Statesman also revealed today that Silsby is not all that she claims. Silsby has faced eight civil lawsuits and 14 unpaid wage claims in recent years, her house was foreclosed on last year, she has racked up a long list of speeding tickets and was recently divorced, the Statesman's Katy Moeller reported today.

Shout! Factory is releasing 30th anniversary, special edition, remastered DVDs of the seminal flicks Rock 'N' Roll High School and Suburbia in May. Both movies are presented in widescreen and both DVDs are loaded with extras.

Rock 'N' Roll High (1979) is the tale of a group of students who, with the help of their rock music-loving leader Riff Randell (the wee PJ Soles) and The Ramones (yes, the actual Ramones) fight to wrest control of their school from their stodgy new principal.

The story goes that The Ramones agreed to be in the film after learning icon Roger Corman was behind it as executive producer. Johnny Ramone is believed to have said, “When we found out Roger Corman was behind the picture, we said, sure, we’ll do it because we knew he had a reputation and we knew he made good movies.”

Good movies? That's up for interpretation. Myriad movies? No question about it. Corman directed about 100 movies and television episodes and produced about 1,000 more (OK, maybe 60 and 400 respectively) and was the master of the low-budget show.

Corman also served as producer on Suburbia (1984). Written and directed by Penelope Spheeris (Wayne's World, The Beverly Hillbillies) this film follows the lives of some disaffected teens for whom family is what you make of it. Soundtrack includes music by TSOL, The Vandals and D.I. and features the film debut of Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

If you were ever a teen, ever played a record or ever felt like a singer was vocalizing everything you were feeling, both of these flicks are must-sees.

These titles should be in stores on Tuesday, May 4. Visit shoutfactory.com for more info.

Each year, the proceeds benefit SNAP, a local organization that provides assistance to HIV/AIDS patients. Last year, more than $23,000 went into SNAP's coffers from the auction.

Although the bidding gets downright fierce in the final minutes of the two-week-long auction, you can bet Flying M will be one of the hottest stops during tonight's First Thursday trek.

What to expect? Everything from a painted male form to a bucket of neon. No joke.

Stanhope will be here in Boise on Friday, Feb. 26 at Neurolux, so we can decide then. I'm guessing it won't be a non-smoking show.

These guys are stand-up comics so expect some objectionable language.
