Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.

He is then escorted out of Fenway for throwing an object onto the field.
1997: David Wells strikes a familiar note as he threatens to punch out George Steinbrenner during a clubhouse argument. Reportedly' the argument began after the team's 7-2 loss to the Expos' when a play occurred that was similar to last year's ALCS. This time it was against the Yankees; Darrin Fletcher was awarded a home run when a fan in right field reached over and snagged the ball before Paul O'Neill could catch it. Wells opined to Steinbrenner that extra security should be added in right field to prevent this sort of thing' George answered that Wells ought to stick to his pitching. When Wells said that Steinbrenner could trade him' the owner answered that no one wanted the lefty. It was then that Wells joined the ranks of earlier Yankees who had expressed a desire to flatten the feisty owner.
1996: The Yankees continue wheeling and dealing for pennant insurance, adding their 8th new player this month by reacquiring third baseman Charlie Hayes the Yankees from the Pirates. This move makes Wade Boggs a platoon player, and he angrily states' "I'll get my 3'000 hits somewhere."

1945: Yankee rookie Bill Bevens (below)' 28' retires the first 18 Red Sox batters before giving up a walk and a double to Bob Johnson' the only hit for the Sox. Bevens wins 7-1' defeating Boof Ferriss,who was trying for his 21st win.

1926: At the Stadium' the Senators rack up nine runs before the Yankees get on the board' and Walter Johnson paces himself to a 12-6 complete game win. The Big Train strikes out 8.

Two hits and an error in the first inning are followed by a Joe Judge grand slam off Sad Sam Jones, and the tourists from DC add another 4-spot in the 3rd. Tony Lazzeri hits a 2-run home run off Johnson in the 8th.
1922: After hitting home run no. 28 in the first inning, Babe Ruth argues a called strike on his next at bat, and is thrown out of the game by home plate umpire Tommy Connolly. The Babe is suspended for the fifth time this year' and will be out for 3 days. New York win today's battle with Washington 5-4, overcoming a pair of home runs by Frank Brower.

1906: 'Slow Joe' Doyle (below) of the Highlanders becomes the first 20th century pitcher to begin his Major League career with 2 shutouts when he beats the Washington Nationals 5-0.

Kampala bombings were suicide strikes
Monday 19 July 2010
Twin explosions in Uganda that killed 73 people last week were carried out by suicide bombers, and Pakistanis were among 20 suspects arrested, according to the head of police. Kale Kayihura said yesterday that the heads of two men, as yet unidentified, had been found at the blast site.
Somali al-Shabaab insurgents linked to al Qa'ida said they carried out the attacks in Kampala, during the World Cup final, but they claimed that no suicide bombers were involved.

text: A much-needed look at the mighty Sugar Pie DeSanto – a singer who really rocked Chess Records back in the 60s! DeSanto came to the label already boasting one hell of a groove – a rock-solid sense of rhythm that made all of her tunes groovers right from the get-go – and a raw vocal power that easily rivaled, if not beat, that of Etta James – her labelmate at Chess, and partner on a few duet tracks here! The collection's a non-stop soul party throughout – as upbeat as Northern Soul, but with plenty of deep soul elements as well – and it's the first time many of these cuts have been brought together on CD, and certainly never before as wonderful as this. Kent serves up some great notes and vintage photos with the package – the latter of which show Sugar Pie in action on stage, clearly one of the sexiest singers to work the circuit back in the 60s! Titles include "In The Basement (parts 1 & 2)", "Soulful Dress", "Witch For A Night", "Ask Me", "Good Timin", "Mr & Mrs", "Mama Didn't Raise No Fools", "Crazy Lovin", "There's Gonna Be Trouble", "Jump In My Chest", "Somewhere Down The Line", "Use What You Got", "Never Love A Stranger", "I Love You So Much", "Go Go Power", and "I Don't Wanna Fuss". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I downloaded this to my E Reader as I was looking for something else after finishing 50 Shades and I have to say - this book is SO much better.Eva is just such a fantastic character - I actually found her a lot more convincing than Ana in 50 Shades, as she's stronger and knows her own mind. Both Eva and Gideon have suffered in the past and are the ultimate star crossed lovers. I found it to be a deeply intense and romantic novel, beautifully written and well crafted. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Homecoming revelers at the McMinnville-Hillsboro tilt at Wortman Stadium got their celebrations started early.
The Grizzlies scored touchdowns on each of their first five possessions in beating the Spartans, 47-17, on Friday night.
Mac capitalized on three fumbles and an interception, scoring 28 points off those turnovers and rolling to a 35-0 halftime lead over Class 6A Pacific Conference foe Hillsboro.
Tanner Scanlon had rushing touchdowns of 2 and 47 yards for the Grizzlies (4-2 overall, 2-2 Pacific Conference). Grant Rubado caught a touchdown pass and return a Spartans fumble 52 yards for a score.
Hillsboro slipped to 2-4 overall (1-3 Pacific Conference) with the loss.

Dayton 49, Willamina 0
Dayton improved to 6-0 overall on Friday night as the Pirates rolled over Class 3A West Valley League rival Willamina, forcing four turnovers and scoring all 49 of their points in the first half.
Tyler Clark rushed for three touchdowns for Dayton (3-0 West Valley), one of five different players to cross the goal line.
"They came to play," Bulldogs coach Tim France said. "They're a good team, they do things right and it shows in the final score. We knew coming into this they were going to be a pretty good measuring stick for us."
A bright spot for the Bulldogs (1-4 overall, 0-2 West Valley) was the play of senior Tyler Heidt, who recorded 22 tackles from his linebacker position.
"Heidt is this team's leader offensively and defensively," France said.
Willamina junior Jordan Combs carried the ball eight times for 70 yards during the game, and senior Coty Brown added 40 yards on 8 carries.

Scappoose 56, Yamhill-Carlton 7
The Tigers fell to 1-1 in Class 4A Cowapa League play (2-4 overall) with a loss at Scappoose (4-2, 1-1 Cowapa) on Friday night.
Horizon Christian 54, Sheridan 12
Sheridan lost at home to Class 3A West Valley League opponent Horizon Christian of Tualatin on Friday night, dropping its record to 1-4 overall (1-2 West Valley).
"The only positive part was that we only fumbled twice and we had hardly any penalties," Spartans' coach Brice Ingram said. "We just couldn't stop any of their sweeps."
Sheridan battled early and, at the end of the first quarter, the score was tied at 6. By the end of the half, the Hawks (2-4, 2-1 West Valley) had put 14 points between themselves and the Spartans.
By the third quarter, Horizon Christian led 30-6, and from there "it started to get ugly," Ingram said.
"(Spartans lineman) Dylan Griffith had a good game," Ingram said. "He was the lone bright spot defensively."
Amity vs. Toledo, canceled
A scheduled football game between the Class 3A Warriors and Class 2A Toledo on Friday night was canceled after the Boomers were unable to field a full team. No makeup has been scheduled.

GM admits Malibu in short supply
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Jan 7th, 2008 at 1:26PM
The Chevrolet Malibu continues to do better than GM expected: the General moved 12,172 of the new model in December 2007, a 6.7% improvement over the same month last year. There are two factories currently building the car, and demand for the 2007 North American Car of the Year finalist is such that dealers still can't get enough of them. It's a long way from the "we only expected to sell 500 Malibus in November" malarkey. The mid-sized segment champions probably aren't worried just yet, but they'll be watching. In December of '07, Toyota sold 38,831 Camrys, Honda sold 31,255 Accords, and... Read More

Why do people put things on their Facebook that they either
A) don't want made public- such as a simple statement that makes people question what's going on and then refuse to tell you.
B) or ask for opinions they really don't want?? Such as this morning my daughter asked, "Has anyone ever had the energy drink cocaine? I'm curious about it." of course some of her friends replied and she stated, "It has about nine times the caffeine of mountain dew" and when I posted my opinion about how dangerous they are she deleted it and texted a nasty text to me.
DRIVES me nuts!!!

Hello all,
I was thinking about citta being one moment of consciousness. My understanding of the Teachings is that the whole world consists of just those realities that are experienced through the sense doors in each brief moment of citta - that there is no future lying waiting, and no past stored up anywhere - only the present cittas.
This is where I have a difficulty. I occasionally experience things that have a connection with future happenings for myself and for others. I can't see any explanation of these things I know to be true, within my present understanding of Buddhism. And yet they do happen. These things fall into two categories - feelings, and dreams. They are not particularly earthshaking - there seems to be no purpose served by having them.
The feelings consist of occasionally (often only yearly or less frequently) being suddenly affected by a feeling of such great strength, with a certain 'flavour' that I have come to recognise as making it 'one of those' feelings. The pattern I have developed through my life is to think over each of my loved ones until a change in the feeling indicates it is connected to that person. I wait. Within a day, maybe two, a significantly unhappy (most often) or happy event unexpectedly and unpredictably happens to that person. Nothing clearer than that. It is never anyone I am worrying about or about whom I have any information that would lead to an expectation that they would experience this significant event.
Dreams happen at about the same frequency. An example from the past: Once, just after I finished high school, and before I started work, I had a dream. In the dream I saw a workplace and various men and women whom I liked or disliked or was anxious about. It was quite a boring dream, with one person being particularly unpleasant. There was something about the 'flavour' of the dream that imprinted it on my memory, that felt unusual, nothing like the feel of 'ordinary' dreams which are soon forgotten.
Six months later, I obtained a position in the Government, and started work in exactly that workplace It was literally 'a seeing into the future'. Everything in the dream, the layout and furnishings of the physical surroundings, and the faces and physical appearance of the people, and their characters, was exactly as in real life. I never saw them until six months after the dream. How does this integrate with Teachings of the Abhidhamma and Buddhism generally? And if it doesn't ....?

What you eat can help lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk for stroke and heart disease.
One such diet, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, has been shown to reduce blood pressure. This diet is low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and total fat. The diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products.
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), your blood pressure can be unhealthy even if it stays only slightly above 120/80 mm Hg. The higher above that level, the greater your health risk. Over time, high blood pressure makes your heart work too hard, which can cause stroke, hardening of the arteries, heart failure, kidney disease, and even blindness.
Why is the DASH diet so effective at reducing blood pressure?
It combines many nutrients that have been shown to be beneficial in reducing blood pressure. Those nutrients include calcium, potassium, magnesium, protein, and fiber, as well as lower total fat and saturated fat.
The DASH diet is naturally low in salt. The DASH diet recommends menus containing 2,300 mg of sodium and 1,500 mg of sodium a day. (One teaspoon of salt contains 2,300 mg of sodium.)
Further, following the DASH diet may delay your need to take hypertension medication, and may even keep you from needing to take it at all. And if you're already on medication, it may help you reduce the amount you take.
The DASH diet is a 2,000-calorie diet that includes:
Six to eight daily servings of grains and grain products, such as whole wheat bread, cereal, oatmeal, crackers, unsalted pretzels, and popcorn. A serving size is one slice of bread, one cup of ready-to-eat cereal, or a half-cup of rice, pasta, or cereal.
Four to five daily servings of vegetables — the darker in color, the better. A serving size is one cup of raw leafy vegetables, a half-cup of cooked vegetables, or six ounces of vegetable juice.
Four to five daily servings of fruit. A serving is one medium fruit, quarter-cup of dried fruit, half-cup of fresh, frozen or canned fruit, or six ounces of fruit juice.
Two or three daily servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy products. A serving is eight ounces of milk, one cup of yogurt, or 1½ ounces of cheese.
Six or fewer daily servings of lean meat, poultry, or fish. A serving is one ounce of cooked meats, skinless poultry, or fish.
Four to five servings per week of nuts, seeds, and dry beans. A serving is one-third cup or 1½ ounces of nuts, one tablespoon or half-ounce of seeds, or half-cup cooked dried beans.
Two to three small daily servings of fats and oils, such as olive oil and low-fat salad dressing. A serving is one teaspoon soft margarine, one tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise, two tablespoons light salad dressing, or one teaspoon vegetable oil.
Five or fewer servings per week of sweets, such as maple syrup, sorbet, or gelatin. A serving is one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon jelly or jam, half-ounce jellybeans, or eight ounces of lemonade.
Although the DASH diet isn't designed for weight loss, it can easily promote it if you reduce the number of servings you consume. Most of the food the diet features is low in energy density, which means it's big on volume and low in calories.
Still, there are aspects to the DASH diet that may not be easy to replicate. For one, it's packed with dark-colored fruits and vegetables, so be prepared to be choosier at the supermarket. Also, if it's vastly different from what you normally eat, it may be hard to adjust.
If you're serious about following the diet, it's a good idea to work with a registered dietitian (R.D.) for support and guidance. (For the names of R.D.s in your area who are familiar with the DASH diet, visit the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.)
If you decide to go it alone, adopt the DASH diet gradually. By doing so, you'll be more apt to stick to it long-term.
For example, add one more serving of vegetables at lunch and dinner if you eat only one or two servings a day now. You might also add fruit to meals and snacks if you now only have juice for breakfast. In addition, slowly increase your dairy products to three servings per day. Try drinking skim milk with lunch or dinner, instead of soda, alcohol, or tea.
To maximize the impact of the DASH, lose weight if you need to and exercise regularly. Thirty minutes of moderate exercise four to five days a week is recommended.
"The DASH Eating Plan" is a 24-page online guide published by the NHLBI. It offers a reader-friendly explanation of high blood pressure, detailed daily servings charts to help you plan your menus, a week of suggested DASH menus, plus tips to reduce sodium.
For more information about diet and other lifestyle factors to reduce hypertension, visit Your Guide to Lowering Blood Pressure. This is another comprehensive NHLBI guide.

She has been one outstanding spokeswoman against the LA/Hollywood machine.
Saturday, March 22, 2008
Ageless Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis has posed topless on the cover of AARP magazine in a bid to persuade older women that they can remain beautiful if they take care of themselves.The Trading Places star, who turns 50 later this year, bares her shoulders and poses with grey hair on the front of the May issue, although her nipples are kept out of sight. She tells the publication, "I want to be older. I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older."I feel way better now than I did when I was 20. I'm stronger, I'm smarter in every way, I'm so much less crazy than I was then… Getting older means paring yourself down to an essential version of yourself." Curtis also refuses to dye her hair. She adds, "I've let my hair go gray. I wear only black and white. Every year I buy three or four black dresses that I just keep in rotation."
Over two years ago, Jamie began promoting its Activia yogurt with the special ingredient, Bifidus Regularis, a "nonsense word that's been trademarked," as dubbed by American Copywriter. The ingredient is supposed to make women more regular, to use acceptable vernacular.

I think gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman ... Arnold Schwarzenegger
Geeze, the only good thing she ever did was the first Halloween movie running from Michael Myers. Does that make her a start id entrust my health advise from ?
So people should only wear black and white? I wish women would stop wearing the black uniform.
Black is very slimming and flattering. It is also easy to put on if you are not the type to fuss with your wardrobe. Dress it up, dress it down, always in good taste. White is a neutral that goes with everything. I think that's what she was going for.
Last edited by candleinthewind; 04-06-2010 at 03:48 PM. Reason: clarification
I love to wear black, too, just because I like it. Especially sweaters.
Most of my wardrobe is black. I've never been a "girly girl" when it comes to clothes, and I just want clothes that fit, are comfortable, and are slimming. I also have some trouble with matching colors, and now that DH isn't here to say, "Honey, those colors don't really go together" wearing black on black makes things simpler.
"The present state of the world and the whole of life is diseased. If I were a doctor and were asked for my advice, I should reply, 'Create silence'."

She's saying she doesn't want to fuss overly much as she ages. Something many women devote a huge chunk of life to.
Applause for Jamie.
I love black.
Jamie Lee is one of my favorite actresses, mainly because of the horror movies she's been in. I'm pretty sure she's retired from movies, Good for her going topless at her age.
Hey, what she likes, she likes, it seems to suit HER, and God help those "What Not to Wear" twits if they ever came near her.
But she does remind me of the way nuns used to, when they were first permitted to shed their veils and adopt civilian dress, including pant suits. It was all neutral colors (most black and navy), modest and plain, and their hair (as befitted chaste ladies) was often cut in similar no-nonsense styles.
And oh yes, here's the obligatory link to the SNL "Activia" parody:
I'm also a black clothes fan...I'm not a foo foo Pink kinda gal...and I have black cats, so they don't show the cat hair....lol
I can wear any color and I do, especially vibrant pastels, but I also love black.
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them--Matthew 7:12
So is she a hermaphrodite or what?

Nawww, that's just a bunch of horseshit, alas.
Japan has totally bought into the yogurt-bifidis bit as well. Bifidobacterium is real; as an aside, the Japanese wiki site mentions that the 5 major strains of this bacteria are present in large quantities in the poops of breastfed babies. *urp*
Wow, that was some huge-open-mouthed-but-totally-straight-bromance greeting. (爆)~RaRa
Dear Readers:
Celebrities are always telling us that fame has its downsides, lurid gossip being one of them, and few could make a better case than actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who for two decades has been saddled with rumors that she was a hermaphrodite at birth (or, as it has been more crudely put, "born with a penis").
This has never been proven, mind you, but most folks seem satisfied with the argument that the info was passed along by a friend of a friend who happens to know a doctor who was told about it in medical school, so it has to be true (or some variation thereof). If that doesn't convince, they may point out that Curtis adopted her two children instead of conceiving; oh, and she has a unisex first name!
None of which, of course, proves anything.
What is a hermaphrodite?
Hermaphroditism (from Hermaphroditus, son of the Greek gods Hermes and Aphrodite; Hermaphroditus was so loved by the nymph Salmacis that she prayed they could be united as one person and literally got her wish) is an all-but-obsolete medical term (clinicians now prefer intersex) for a set of conditions characterized mainly by genitalia which are either "ambiguous" (i.e., not clearly male or female) or at odds with the subject's chromosomal gender.
Depending on the specific symptoms, hermaphroditism / intersexuality may be the result of a genetic anomaly or a hormonal excess or deficiency during gestation. It has been estimated that as many as 1 in 2,000 children born in the United States are diagnosed with ambiguous external genitalia, of whom a very small percentage undergo "sex reassignment" surgery in infancy.
The specific condition most often attributed to Jamie Lee Curtis is AIS, or Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. People born with AIS are genetically male (defined as having one X and one Y chromosome) but are resistant to androgens, the hormones responsible for male sexual development. As a result, they display female physical characteristics despite being genetically male. "In its classic form (complete androgen resistance), the person appears to be female but has no uterus, and has sparse armpit and pubic hair," states the MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia. "At puberty, female secondary sex characteristics (e.g., breasts) develop, but menstruation and fertility do not."
Why Jamie Lee Curtis? It bears pointing out that Ms. Curtis was neither the first nor the last female celebrity to whom gender ambiguity has been attributed. Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, and Mae West endured similar whisper campaigns during their respective heydays, according to Paul Young, author of L.A. Exposed: Strange Myths and Curious Legends in the City of Angels (St. Martin's Press, 2002). So did '80s disco star Grace Jones, and, more recently pop music divas Ciara and Lady Gaga. One thing all of these famous performers have in common is some degree of androgyny -- either in appearance, or behavior, or both -- that sets them apart from "normal" women. Curtis, who easily passes for "butch" when she dresses down for a role and has her hair cut short, has also been singled out for what film critic Bill Cosford once called her "androgynous appeal."
And then there is the matter of her name. Some have speculated she was christened "Jamie Lee" because it wasn't clear at birth whether she was a boy or a girl. Not so, according to Curtis' mother, actress Janet Leigh, who says the gender-ambiguous name was just a practical choice.
"At that time," she told Village Voice columnist Michael Musto in 1998, "we didn't know ahead of time if it would be a girl or a boy, so when I was pregnant with Kelly, my best friend Jackie Gershwin said, 'Why don't you call the baby Kelly, so if it's a girl, it works, and if it's a boy, it works?' And she thought the same thing with Jamie. The babies were named before they were born because Jackie said, 'This way, we won't have to worry about it!'"
I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his pay-roll.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
The rumor persists because she has never addressed it even in a joking way. Of course, it's none of anybody's business.
I've always thought it must be true though. Oh, and it's funny to me that Janet Leigh spoke to Musto about it because he one of the people keeping the rumor going.
I like Jamie Lee but I don't really care about her digestive health.
Thanks candle. I've always liked her too.
Seems like there were also rumors around her name...that mom & dad chose 'Jamie' for its androgynous nature, not being sure about her actual gender identity at the time of her birth, choosing a name that could apply to either male or female down the road...
It's a tantalizing little bit of tinseltown lore, regardless!
I think she was conceived when Tony was making the movie "Some Like It Hot"... so it could be true...
"My dixie wrecked, ... can ya help a brother out?"
Plus I like black. It tells people "hey, I'm a ninja" so they can watch their backs. Those that don't get it, well, they'll be dead in the morning.
I like her I don't care whats between her legs.
She's a great actress too. Miss her doing movies.
And Jaylene loves black too. Makes her feel sexy.
Black is not whack!

Inquirer Staff Writer
Jamie Lee Curtis, who has never discussed her mom, Janet Leigh, has broken her silence in More mag.
She writes that by the time of her birth in '58, her mom's marriage with Tony Curtis was over. Jamie says Tony, then in his late 30s, publicly humiliated Janet when he "chose a 17-year-old replacement." (Tony married five more times, beginning with the young'un, Christine Kaufmann.)
But Janet's greatest struggle wasn't with men. "The most complicated relationship [she] had, both loving and . . . cruel, was with her own body," Jamie says. "Her face was undeniably beautiful, like a shot of something strong, and her body . . . was the chaser." But as she aged, Janet was gripped by anxiety over her looks.
Does this explain Jamie's loathing for plastic surgery? "Our dissatisfaction with what we look like has reached epidemic proportions," she writes. "Just look around you: People don't look right. Lips, eyes, hair, weaves, implants. It's a freak show.
Daughter JAMIE LEE CURTIS dishes on the conflict that drove her movie star parents TONY CURTIS and JANET LEIGH to hate and divorce!
A movie star in her own right, Jamie says she was conceived in an effort to save the couple's floundering nups.
"By the time I came along... my parents' bond had deteriorated precipitously as their stardom grew," Jamie confessed.
"And, like any other save-the- baby, I failed."
Jamie was four when her mom Janet received the heart breaking papers while on the set of a classic cold war psycho drama.
"She told me that she did the memorable scene on the train in The Manchurian Candidate the day she found out that Tony had filed for divorce."
"My mother persevered through it all and survived."

I always loved Jamie Lee. I think she's cool, she's funny, and seems to be a level headed person that says and does what she feels. And man, she carries off that uber short hair cut like nobody's business.
My husband watches True Lies, and he loves the scene of her "pole dancing" on the bed post. He says he doesn't give a shit whether she's hermaphrodite or not, in that scene she's all woman, no doubts in his mind. Same with her topless scene in Trading Places.
Good on her for posing topless at her age, for giving up plastic surgery, and wearing whatever the hell she wants. Bravo. I hope to be that hot and secure at her age.
Jon-Erik Hexum: 11/5/57 - 10/18/84
How Jon-Erik stays in shape: "I should probably say lots and lots of sex. Although you don't burn up that many calories during sex. It's only like a couple hundred. I once heard somewhere that you get a lot more out of walking a mile. So you say, 'Hey, honey, how'd you like to walk a mile with me?'"
I heard that Activia yogurt really cleans you out. I'm afraid to try it, thankyouverymuch!

I eat Activia all the time. It doesn't affect me more than any other yogurt. I think it just keeps good bacteria down there; it doesn't act like a laxative.
Jamie Lee Curtis is going out on Interviews now to support her new Children's Book.
Here are some of her comments.
JAMIE Lee Curtis has to be "really careful" when she's choosing movie roles — because she doesn't want her kids to see their mom in compromising positions.
The actress has never been shy of revealing all on screen but has vowed to clean up her act for the sake of two children.
"I just don't want them to have to see me like that, whatever it is," says Jamie Lee, 51. "The last thing I'm going to do now is go do some movie where I'm slamming up against some guy.
"I've got a 14-year-old son. He does not want to see his mommy doing that. So I have to be really careful about what I'm bringing into my family."
Curtis — who is the face of Activia in the US — recently revealed that people often approach her to tell her about their bowel movements.
"I have a job where I advertise yogurt that makes you poop," she said earlier this month. "Now people tell me about their bowel movements every day.
"I never in my life thought that would happen when I first was asked by this company, Activia, Dannon, to be their representative.
"I go out now and talk about bowel movements and about how people's digestive tracts work. But it has turned out to be the most fun thing."
In this interview she actually says that Betty White is over-rated.
Betty White may be 88 years old but that doesn't mean she can't stir the jealousies of her younger female peers. On the Today show Tuesday, Jamie Lee Curtis appeared with co-hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb to hawk her new children's book, My Mommy Hung the Moon. When Gifford noted that Betty White has two books coming up, Curtis smirked "You know, she's not that funny."
It sounded like a joke until Curtis persisted.
"Anytime Betty White walks into a room hilarity ensues," deadpanned Curtis. "I mean her eyes are blue but..."
"That's really about it," added Kotb.
"No I think maybe even overrated would be a word for Betty White," Curtis said.
Trying to sugar coat the put-down, Giffered offered, "Overexposed perhaps?"
"Oh definitely," Curtis said with relish.
Of course, Curtis can't be faulted for saying what's on everybody's mind. But ripping on Betty White's blue eye-shadow? The lady's pushing 90 for crying out loud. Bad form.

i saw her on joy behar (last night?) and after that spread she did sans makeup, etc. she has had major work done---good work, but just sayin'.
This is also another topic she is addressing. She became addicted to pain killers from having cosmetic surgery done. I think she gets botox and some other non evasive stuff.
This week there were stories about Jane Fonda getting work done. I get her bog and she talked about that weeks ago. Jane said she swore off getting work a few years ago. Never say never. Vanity steps in. Here is Jaime Talking about her addictions.
Jamie Lee Curtis credits her recovery from painkiller addiction - which started after she began to have plastic surgery - as the ''greatest accomplishment'' of her life.
Jamie Lee Curtis regards her recovery from painkiller addiction as the "greatest accomplishment" of her life.
The US actress - who previously admitted she became dependant on prescription medicine aged 35 following cosmetic surgery on her eyes - thinks her life would have "fallen apart" if she had not beaten her problem.
She told 'The Today Show': "My recovery is the single greatest accomplishment of my life. And without that, the rest of my life would have fallen apart.
"Recovery and motherhood are the two single greatest things in my life."
The 'Freaky Friday' actress also singled out Robert Downey Jr. - whose drug fuelled younger days almost led to his career being irredeemably wrecked - as another example of someone coming back from the brink.
She added: "Robert Downey Jr. was in prison for a year. And he is not only the greatest movie star in the world, he's a fantastic representative of someone who can repair the damage of their life."
The 51-year-old star - who has adopted children Anne, 24, and Thomas, 15, with her husband Christopher Guest - also admitted she used to drink to battle her loneliness and turned to plastic surgery when her body started to change shape as she grew older.
Jamie wrote in more detail of the problems her addiction caused in the wake of pop star Michael Jackson's death in June 2009 - from acute Propofol intoxication, although pathologists found a number of different prescription drugs in his system.
She wrote: "I too found painkillers after a routine cosmetic surgical procedure and I too became addicted, the morphine becomes the warm bath from which to escape painful reality.
"I was a lucky one. I was able to see that the pain had started long ago and far away and that finding the narcotic was merely a matter of time."
Jamie has now been sober for over 10 years
I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his pay-roll.

I met Jamie a few years when she was signing her children's book. I remember one man who was in front of me told Jamie he loved "Halloween" and he lets his 2 year old watch it. James looked shocked. She just shook her head, and didn't say anything to the man. I told Jamie I enjoyed her work and I appreciate her for sticking up for human and animal rights. She told me I would be shocked at the animals actors and actresses leave abandond when all they wanted was for the cute little puppy to be part of their attention, but will later on abandon them.

She may have had some work done, but it is natural looking and not over the top. That is a great picture of her.
She looks fantastic and not fake - good for her
I remember guys always going nuts over her boobs, but I never thought she was all that attractive, but she has grown older very gracefully - I hope I can do the same. I am not that far behind her LOL!

Well, there you have it (see black/white clothing discussion upthread). She looks beautiful in any color. But she sure looks fantastic in red!
I'm glad someone mentioned the movie True Lies - forgot about that one. But nobody's mentioned A Fish Called Wanda. One of my favorite comedies ever. And if you don't think she's a sexy woman, your opinion will probably change after seeing the movie!

I absolutely LOVE this woman. That is all... lol
Then there was "Perfect"...she was an aerobics instructor. Mer-say. She and Marilu Henner in that film...I lived for the workout scenes.
The Strange Case Of The Missing Corpse
Mrs. Peel (commenting on Steed's sword): "That looks a bit droopy." Steed: "Wait until it's challenged."
Just watched her in NCIS. She still looks damn good!
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
How far would you drive to rock in another man's grave?- Love/Hate, Happy Hour
