HE-AAC is more commonly known as aacPlus. It is a streaming audio format that some internet radio stations are switching to.

So get this, AAC format was made popular by Apple and yet as of today the latest version of iTunes doesn’t support the streaming version of AAC, aacPlus (AAC+).

How stupid is that?!

2 sticks of real butter (softened, room temperature)
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 1/2 Cups of flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Find a 7 x 10 inch pan with one inch sides. Cream butter with the sugar, until well-blended.  Add flour.  Put dough into pan, patting into place.  Take a butter knife and sharpen the edges of the dough, smoothing as you go.  Take a table fork and prick the dough up and down in rows.  Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from oven.  Take a sharp knife and cut into little rectangles.  Let cool, enjoy.

Have you ever looked at a map of the world? Look at Texas with me just for a second. That picture with the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast, and the Red River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of you as anything ever will be. As soon as anyone, anywhere, in the world looks at it they know what it is. It’s Texas. Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas in the dirt and he’ll know what it is. What happens if I show you a picture of any other state? You might get it maybe after a second or two, but who else would? And even if you do, does it ever stir any feelings in you? In every man, woman and child on this planet, there is a person who wishes just once he could be a real live Texan and get up on a horse or ride off in a pickup. There is a little bit of Texas in everyone. Did you ever hear anyone in a bar go, ‘Wow … so you’re from Iowa? Cool, tell me about it?’ Do you know why? Beggin’ your pardon, because no one gives a crap about Iowa.’

Texas is the Alamo. Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing thousands of Mexican nationals, fighting for freedom, who had the chance to walk out and save themselves, but stayed instead to fight and die for the cause of freedom. We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and James Bowie and Crockett, and do you know why? Because those men saw a line in the sand and they decided to cross it and be heroes. John Wayne paid to do the movie himself. That is the Spirit of Texas.

Texas is Sam Houston capturing Santa Anna at San Jacinto.
Texas is huge forests of Piney Woods like the Davy Crockett National Forest. Texas is breathtaking mountains in the Big Bend. Texas is the unparalleled beauty of bluebonnet fields in the Texas Hill Country. Texas is the warm beaches of the Gulf Coast of South Texas. Texas is the shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas.

Texas is world record bass from places like Lake Fork. Texas is Mexican food like nowhere else, not even Mexico. Texas is the Fort Worth Stockyards, Bass Hall, the Ballpark in Arlington, and the Astrodome (guess now the Reliant Stadium). Texas is larger-than-life legends like Michael DeBakey, Denton Cooley, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Gene Autry, Audie Murphy, Tommy Lee Jones, Waylon Jennings, Janis Joplin, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Landry, Darrell Royal, ZZ Top, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Nolan Ryan, Sam Rayburn, Howard Hughes, George H. W. Bush,, Lyndon B. Johnson, and let’s not forget George Strait!

Texas is great companies like Dell Computer, Texas Instruments and Compaq, Bell Helicopter and Lockheed Martin Aerospace. Home of the F-16 Jet Fighter and the JSF Fighter, Texas is NASA. Texas is huge herds of cattle and miles of crops. Texas is home to the most amazing sunsets of gold over an empty field. Texans have pride like no others. Texas is hundreds of deer running around neighborhoods and fields. Texas is skies blackened with doves, and fields full of deer.
Texas is a place where towns and cities shut down to watch the local high school football game on Friday nights, and for the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, and for the Night In Old San Antonio River Parade. To drive across Texas is to drive ¼ the way across the United States. Texas is ocean beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and prairies, and modern cities. If it isn’t in Texas, you probably don’t need it.

Everything’s bigger in Texas! No one does anything bigger or better than it’s done in Texas. By Federal law, Texas is the only state in the U.S. that can fly its flag at the same height as the U.S. Flag. Think about that for a second. You fly the Stars and Stripes at 20 feet in Maryland, California, or Maine, and your state flag, whatever it is, goes at 17 feet. You fly the Stars and Stripes in front of Klein Oak High or anyplace else at 20 feet, the Lone Star flies at the same height – 20 feet. Do you know why? Because it is the only state in the union that was a Republic before it became a state. Also, being a Texan is as high as being on American down here. Our capitol is the only one in the country that is taller than the capitol building in Washington, D. C., and we can divide our state into five states at any time, if we wanted to! We included these things as part of the deal when we came on. That’s the best part, right there. Texas even has its own power grid! .. Did I mention Live Music Capitol of the World?
