5:45 This is awesomeness! Rolf from the Muppets doing Biz Markie's "Just a friend". Awesome!
6:15 Well that sucks! I'm left handed and hate to think that I'll earn less over my lifetime due to my brain wiring.
THE UNFAIR REASON YOU MIGHT MAKE LESS MONEY: Left-handed? Then you're likely to earn less: 'Lefties' are not as financially successful as right-handed colleagues, according to a new Harvard University study. It's found that the 1-in-8 people who are lefties earn 12% less over their lifetime. Reasons for the disparity are unclear but economists suggests people who are left-handed may be at a fundamental cognitive disadvantage.
Data suggests left-handed children are more likely to have learning issues. The researchers claim their study seems to dispel the myth that lefties are more likely to be 'gifted'. (Our theory: Lefties are more likely to be creative. And making a lot of moolah in the creative arts … well, good luck.) – Read more (and see the video) about it here: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/12/05/research-shows-left-handed-people-make-less-money/

7:15 Valentine's day is coming up. If you're happy with your significant other, please ignore #1 and 2. If you aren't, here are some handy ways to get back at your ex:
Send a package of glitter. Ugh. It gets all over everything and you can never wash it off. (PAYBACK BY POST: Revenge just got a whole lot more sparkly. For a small fee, a new Australian company will send an envelope filled with glitter that's 'guaranteed to go everywhere' to the enemy of your choosing. The envelope is sent anonymously and includes a note saying what a jerk your victim is (only in more colorful language). The glitter is mixed in with the note, thus increasing maximum spillage. The service, that was recently launched, costs $9.99 in Aussie dollars. It's already received more than 800 requests and has temporarily suspended accepting new orders until it catches up. (If you're still vacuuming glitter from carpets that came off Christmas wrap 4 years ago, you know how truly cruel this can be.) Find out more at: http://shipyourenemiesglitter.com .

Send a donation to the San Diego Zoo and name a hissing cockroach after them... OR
If you and your love are happy, name a lemur, snow leopard or penguin after them.
In light of Valentine's Day, the San Francisco Zoo is offering a way for scorned lovers to get back at their exes. For a donation, the zoo is allowing the scorned lovers to adopt cockroaches and scorpions in the names of the exes. One package is called the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach package. The hissing cockroach grows to a size of 2-4 inches long is the perfect way to show "your favorite ex" that you have "moved on" with your life. The zoo also suggested that scorned lovers consider adopting a huge hairy scorpion that goes by the name of "low-life ex."
If your love life is going great, the zoo has something for you too -- they are offering adoption packages of cuter animals like snow leopards, penguins and lemurs. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2015/01/26/Zoo-offers-roach-scorpion-adoptions-for-scorned-lovers/7171422286530/?spt=hs&or=on

5:45 Over the weekend, I heard that SkyMall was going away. It's that magazine that's stuffed in the back of the seats when you fly. It's always got such weird products for sale. It made me a little sad. I always looked at the Garden Yeti and laughed. Now that it's going away (they filed for bankruptcy last week), it's time to take a look at some of the nutty items they sell. At 6:15 I found on Popsugar.com some fun items sold in the SkyMall catalog. The good part is, Skymall remains online. http://www.popsugar.com/tech/Funny-SkyMall-Gadgets-36669873#photo-36669875

7:45 More and more guys are wearing and showing off some snazzy socks. And these statement socks have become a must have fashion accessory for guys everywhere from Wall Street to Silicon Valley.
For women, it's called hosiery, but for guys- this trend is being called 'brosiery' and it's a way for guys to be expressive and unique in a way other than with neckties and pocket squares.
Fashion insiders also going so far to consider these colorful socks to be like lingerie for men. Here's why: only the guy knows what's under the pants, but when they walk, they give a little peek.
On the expensive end, you can get a single pair of funky socks for up to $185 at a store like Barney's, but that's like $90 per sock which is insane. And let's face it, at the end of the day your $185 snazzy socks will smell just the same as socks you could have bought at Walmart. Boom *drops mic*.

7:15 Do you take your allotted vacation each year? If you don't you're note alone. I saw this results of this study from Time.com and it was interesting. Here's a snapshot: Lots of Americans Don't Take Any Vacation from Work
A lot of Americans aren't taking the vacation they're entitled to. Some 42 percent of Americans didn't take a single day of vacation from work last year, according to a new survey from travel intelligence site Skift. The results showed that while many Americans who are employed full-time have at least 10 days of allotted vacation, only 13 percent said they could afford to take that many, and also revealed was that women took fewer vacation days than man. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce says that Americans are reluctant to use their vacation time out of fear of being replaced or concerns about their work piling up. (Time)

7:45 Moms if you're worried about your fat bum...don't! It's a good thing. Because the fat in your hips, butt, and thighs are beneficial building blocks for babies. Awesome!
Curvy moms with fat on their bottoms and thighs can now attest to the fact there's at least one good reason for this. A new study just released uncovers the reason why women have fat they don't want in these so-called "problem areas." The study was conducted at the University of Pittsburgh and conclusive evidence showed researchers that stubborn fat residing in the butt and thighs contain highly valuable components essential in the development of child's nervous system. Professor Will Lassek is a public health epidemiologist at the university and talked with the Sunday Times about the study. He cites the fat in a woman's butt and thighs are crucial to an infant's brain make-up, especially when breastfeeding.

The ultimate beer drinkers tool has been invented. CHEERS: The Ultimate Beer Drinker's Tool Has Been Invented
Posted: Wednesday 03:32PM Jan. 21, 2015 PT
There's a Kickstarter campaign going on right now that features a beer drinker's tool that seems to perform every function a beer drinker would ever need.
The Sabertooth opens bottles, makes the perfect hole to shotgun a beer from, punches a hole in the top of a can for better beer flow, and has an easy tab opener, which saves your fingers from opening too many beers.
And, amazingly, this thing is so small it fits on your keychain.
The guys behind this amazing invention have already raised enough money to put it into production. It's a full go, beer drinkers! (BroBible)

Oh yeah, just to keep up the kitsch of it all. Here's the theme song with no music. According to this blog post it's funnier.
6:15 Good food news and bad food news:
Good News: Cauliflower is the new "it" food of 2015!
Food trend watchers say versatile cauliflower is the superfood that's poised to become the next kale. The lush, cruciferous broccoli cousin is predicted to be the 2015 produce king. Unlike bitter green kale, cauliflower is versatile enough to be used in many ways, such as …
• Swapped out for potatoes when mashed. It easily absorbs the flavors of butter & garlic and can be an alternative topping for shepherd's pie. • Breaded with flour & seasonings, then fried until golden brown as a replacement for beefsteak. • Baked with various flavorings. Cauliflower can be used to make bread or biscuits, even pizza crust. • Puréed to make creamy soups. What's more, cauliflower is a fantastic source of fiber, vitamin C, and is low in calories (150 per head). It also contains vitamins B and K, Omega-3s, and manganese. (Seems someone has hired a really good PR firm.) – Adapted from NYDailyNews.com http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/cauliflower-new-kale-2015-food-trend-watchers-article-1.2055951

7:15 I'm gonna get personal with you for a minute...how often do you change your pajamas?
I just eyeball em or smell em. Or sometimes, I just say, "Hmmm, these are getting gross, maybe it's time to throw them in the laundry". I have no real rhyme or reason for when I know. What's funny is that there is a good reason to change your jammies frequently. According to experts, you could be making yourself sick...with all kinds of things that you already have in your body like E Coli and MRSA. Ew. I put the question to you guys and most everyone responded the same way 3 or 4 days including Margaret, Becky, DJ, and Marc (yes, our Marc).

5:45 How I got sucked into trying insulate my windows last night when I should have been packing my clothing. Now...my hands are covered in this gunk. Word to the wise, if you use it, USE GLOVES!!!! *as directed on the can...I didn't :(
According to a new study from James Madison University, men's bodies actually respond to the sound of a woman's voice. (I say, except when they want them to do something for them...then, men actually ignore women's voices).
And, amazingly, a guy's body can detect a woman's fertility just from the pitch of her voice.
Researchers found that within five seconds of hearing a fertile woman's voice, guys get a five percent boost in heart rate and 20 percent more skin electricity. (HuffingtonPost)

Ever heard of the turducken – a cooked turkey that houses a duck that houses a chicken?
Well, the evil people over at Chow.com have come up the dessert version ... and we're dying to try it.
It starts with an apple fritter, which is encased in a custard-filled doughnut, then it's glazed with chocolate and sprinkles.
Since no name seemed to befitting of this sinful treat's monumental status, they are simply calling it the turducken of doughnuts.
Good enough for us ... as long as we get a bite! What should we name it though guys? Hmmm
6:15 Did you make a New Year's Resolution? Well here are some interesting and easy to accomplish resolutions from Lifehack.org. Here are just a few that inspired me...These 30 Resolutions will certainly Rock your 2015!
Practicing humility is a great way to change our need to prove others wrong. We can all learn something from opening our minds and genuinely listening to what others may have to offer. It does not mean that we have to accept their ideas and beliefs. When we are confident in our own choices, we don't have to prove anything.
Start a new routine
We typically do the same thing every day. Boring! What can you add to your routine to make it new and interesting? It doesn't have to be something drastic. It can be something as simple as changing the route we drive to work each day or reading five pages of a book each morning after we wake up.
Avoid rabbit holes (I can use this one too!)
If we wish to have a more productive 2015, we can start by putting away our cellphones and closing the internet browser on our work computers. Most text messages, phone calls, e-mails, and social media can wait. This discipline will get us focused on our important tasks and limit tendency towards procrastination.
Turn off the smartphone
Check out the whole list (and get inspired) here: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/30-new-years-resolutions-rock-your-2015.html?mid=20150109&ref=mail&uid=325307&feq=daily

7:15 THE BELT that knows when you're getting fat.
CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, is full of the wonderful and weird. And the wearable smart belt called Belty, which debuted at CES last week, definitely falls into the latter category.
The Belty wirelessly connects with the user's smartphone so that wearer can teach it preferences based on things like sitting or standing. The Belty will automatically loosen when you sit down, and tighten when you stand up, for example. See some of the other cool things that were debuted at the Consumer Electronics show. http://www.cnbc.com/id/10000068
8:15 New App Lets You 'Untext' Someone
Putting your thoughts down in black and white always comes with risk, but a new app aims to make texting less risky. It's called Strings and lets the user remotely remove messages "immediately and permanently" from other people's phones. The only catch is that all the messaging must be done through the app on everybody's phones. An upside? The app makes it impossible for anyone to download or save messages sent through it. Strings also allows the user to see when a message has, or has not, been read. A creator of the app says, "With the privacy issues plaguing existing with messaging apps, email, and texting, it's time we had a messaging app that gives us complete control of our conversations."

"Boston Globe" columnist Yvonne Abraham has called it 'musical crack'. Musicologists weigh in on why the "Frozen" soundtrack tune has become the mega-hit that it is … â It appeals to a broad audience. Even out of context with the movie "Let It Go" still works, as its messages of liberation and self-acceptance are just as strong. That means the song has the widest possible appeal. â It's emotionally complex. Rather than being a love song or a positive anthem, "Let it Go" is unusual in that it is tonally quite dark. Musicologist Anthony Sheppard pinpoints the song's negativity: There are 5 'don'ts', 4 'nevers' and 3 'nos' in the lyrics. â Songs with both long notes and catchy, repetitive choruses make for potential 'earworms', or songs that get stuck in your mind. If your brain forms an emotional connection with the song, from lyrics or narrative meaning, then it's even more likely to stick. â Idina Menzel. The song was written specifically for her. It's not at all easy to sing or replicate. Her voice helped to make "Let It Go" a hit outside of the movie. â It perfectly matches the animation. The video, which has been watched 380 million times on YouTube, has been described as 'a nuclear bomb of a multimedia experience'.

right? Well no, comes the "Belfiestick". It seeks to perfect The Butt Selfie.
It's bad enough that the "butt selfie" has become a thing, but now there's something to assist those trying to get the perfect shot of their posterior. It's called the "Belfiestick," and it's a bendable stick that enables you to take that kind of selfie from just the perfect angle without having to rely on mirrors or twist yourself into a pretzel.

6:45 Your Christmas Tree Could Have New Life as Lingerie
archideaphoto/iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -– You probably never thought of your Christmas tree as sexy. However, a French company, Do You Green, is taking the wood and pine needles from your discarded tree and giving them second life as fabrics for lingerie. The brand is spearheaded by designer Sophie Young and is turning trees into nighties, bras and underwear through a non-chemical process. Instead, the wood goes through an enzyme bath that turns it into a silky smooth fabric. The dyes used are certified with the Oekotex Standard 100 label, which guarantees the safety against risk of allergy or irritation, according to the company's website. The website claims the line has sweat-reducing properties that naturally absorb two-and-a-half times more moisture than cotton. The fashions are made from raw materials that could have alternatively been sent to the dump. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, as many as to 30 million "real" Christmas trees are sold in the U.S. every year, with 4,000 recycling programs throughout the nation. Of course, there's also a less sexy way to dispose of the trees besides a landfill. This year, a new program called "Goat Grazers" has 40 goats eating and otherwise recycling used Christmas trees. The program was started by Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District to keep trees out of California landfills -- where they become fire hazards.

8:15 Today was an absolute nightmare in terms of technology. I came and immediately, computers started malfunctioning. Not only on WLTF but on the other two stations in the building. So, that meant that we had an overbearing alarm system going for the better part of an hour, then when the rest of the office arrived, they ALL had problems with their computers. They couldn't print, and had issues getting on the internet. Anyhoo, it seems appropriate that I found this article. So true!!!!!! (at least in our office today it was VERY true).

A study reveals that two-thirds of users of social media networks tell lies to "airbrush reality" to make their personal lives look more interesting to others.
The findings of the survey have caused psychologists to warn users on the issue of "digital amnesia," wherein people forget the truth and believe in the versions of reality that they make up online. Posting lies on social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter could cause users to "rewrite" their own memories.
The survey, which was commissioned by social network Pencourage, discovered that 68 percent exaggerate, embellish or outright lie when making posts about their personal events on social media, with one in every 10 respondents admitting that their recollections of the said event have already become distorted

6:15 While we were worrying about the Ebola virus this past fall, we should have focused our attention on the flu! It's a heartier strain than in past years.
A funny thing happened while we were all panicking about Ebola last fall -- the flu morphed into a monster disease right here in the U.S.
The CDC says the flu is "widespread" in 43 states, and 21 children have died from it this season. Six percent of all doctor visits are for flu-like symptoms, compared with two percent in a normal flu season.
This year's flu vaccine is not a good match for the bugs that are going around, which is one reason why the illness is so widespread. Nonetheless, doctors suggest that you get one even now if you haven't this year.

6:45 MEN DON'T EAT BLUE: A new study shows men are subconsciously suspicious of blue-colored food, leading them to eat far less of it, if not avoid it altogether. In experiments it's been discovered that eating food under a blue light makes it appear unpleasant to men and prevents them from overeating. The University of Arkansas research team thinks men's rejection of blue food may be evolutionary since naturally occurring blue-colored foods are rare, which may have led to a subconscious suspicion about their safety. Interestingly, women are unaffected by the color, since they rely more on their sense of smell to judge the appeal of food. (That's why women will drink blueberry mojitos with blue corn tortilla chips! ) – "Pacific Standard"
I asked Greg at our sister station and he said, blue? Woman? Is it beer?...NUFF SAID!
7:15 What You Name Your Child Could Predict Their Career
The name that you give your child could actually predict what his or her future career will be. According to baby-naming app Nametrix, people with certain names appeared within the same career category many times. For instance, of the 2.5 million entries, almost two percent of accountants were named Arnold.

7:45 How cool is this? Skechers has put the Simon game (from the 80's) onto children's tennis shoes. Awesome. Check them out here: http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/06/skechers-simon-memory-game-into-its-new-kids-sneaker/
I'm jelly.
8:15 Right now is the time when we all need to think about our time off. If you lost days last year because you didn't take your allotted time OR if you have some time that you haven't yet planned, think of this...
Lots of Americans Don't Take Any Vacation from Work
6:15 My friend had a really cool new year's resolution for 2014. This is what she posted online:
"I DID IT! 2014 New Years resolution is complete. On this very day last year I made a vow TO BUY NOTHING NEW FOR ONE YEAR!
I made a few exceptions. 1. Food obviously had to be new. 2. If there was a hygiene issue, I could buy it new. For example, underwear. 3. If it was related to my business, I could buy it new. For example my hard drive was failing and I bought a new one but I made sure it was properly recycled. 4. If it is something that will fix something I already have then I can buy it new. For example, my really nice Max Cool Igloo cooler had broken hinges so I ordered the parts to fix it and make it useful again.
Finding something you want without just walking into Target or Costco or department store takes a bit of commitment. The thing I learned the most from this year was a new thought process when deciding to buy something.... 1. Do I need it or want it? 2. Regardless of need vs want, If I do decide to try to find it, is it worth the search. Ebay, Amazon used, geartrade, goodwill, thrift store...you can't just go there and know your item will be available and if I have to order it will it be timely. 3. Do I already have something in my current inventory that will satisfy the want/need.
Fifty percent of the time I went through this process I just stopped wanting it. Not worth it or Yes, I have something like that in the attic. I found that there is very little that I actually "need", most of the time its a "want" situation.
Why did I do this you ask? First of all, I have tons of crap. I really don't need anything. I have enough stuff to last the rest of my life. Also, I wanted to live more simply, I don't believe that things make you happy and I was right. Environmentally, consuming less stuff is good for the planet. I hate to think of all the polluted rivers in China from the manufacturing of all the cheap crap we buy. I also wanted to see how much money I would save. At first I kept a spreadsheet of my savings. It was well into the thousands of dollars when I sorta forgot about it. Had I kept it going I know it would have been substantial. Although, I have to say, as the year went on I just stopped buying anything.
OK, so here is the real deal. Yes, I did slip up. I bought 24 new rubber snakes for my Halloween costume. There, I admitted it. This prompted me to make a new exception that supplies for costumes or art projects were exempt. Hey, its my resolution, I make the rules.
I am posting this on Facebook because I am proud of myself. If you would have asked Frank a year ago, he wouldn't have believed I would follow through. Long term resolutions and goals are not really my thing. Also I post this because I would like to challenge everyone to consume less and live more simply in 2015. It really is liberating. I am going to continue (probably not as strict) in my new way of consuming for the rest of my life. It really changed me. However, there is a sweet pair of boots that have my name on it and I can't wait to buy them. Think about it..a whole year without a new pair of shoes. Oh, the humanity.
Now on to my 2015 resolution. No cursing for a whole year. Every time I slip I will put $1 into a jar and send it to charity at the end of the year.
I had a longer interview with her. Here's the full chat (unedited):
6:45 Stop putting that Facebook copyright thing on your page. It doesn't do anything. Its just a "thing" that doesn't mean 'anything". Once you sign up for Facebook, you give away your rights now and in the future. If you are really that bothered that they have access to your pictures and posts, you can cancel your Facebook page, or you can decline to terms of service/privacy policy...which result in you NOT having a Facebook page....so it's your choice, accept it or no page. These two pages should make it clear:
7:15 Lake Superior State University's 40th Annual List of Banished Words Words that should be BANISHED in 2015! I am very guilty of "literally" and "I can't even". I agree with many of these but I definitely like "Sorry Not Sorry" and I don't think that one should go away.
The tradition created by the late W. T. Rabe, former public relations director at Lake Superior State University, begins its fifth decade with this year's annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness.
2014 was definitely the year of the tweet, and words that should frankly...just go away! FOREVER! So, if you're still using any of these words and phrases, you should just stop. Now.
Read the whole thing here: http://www.lssu.edu/banished/
8:15 Since we are in the middle of a bunch of cold days...here we go with some problems that can happen in your home due to winter weather. Good to know huh? These are the two that make me most nervous in my house.

Wire fires You should check out the full article for tips on how to avoid these calamities. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/30/winter-mishaps_n_6397266.html?ir=Home
5:45--Will you break you resolution? Get this: By January 14 many of our resolutions will be gone! If you're one of the 44% of people who made a New Year's resolution, don't feel bad if you're already stumbling. Experts that by January 14 over a third of resolution-makers will have quit. By February 1 about 6 in 10 will still be at it.
6:15 BACK TO WORK _ Today is Blue Monday, said by some to be one of the most depressing days of the year. It's back to the grind after the holidays, we know the Christmas bills are coming, the weather sucks, and we're a long way away from another holiday weekend.
They say it's rubbish though (because it was created to sell something): http://www.theguardian.com/science/head-quarters/2014/jan/06/most-depressing-day-of-year-blue-monday
6:45 So Kanye West released a new song called "Only One" with Paul McCartney (yes, THAT Paul McCartney). So anyway, some of Kanye's Twitter followers apparently don't know who Paul McCartney is. Seriously. Read some of the real tweets that were sent...wow. Know your legends people!!!!

Having a bad hair day? Don't worry- it won't last. The average woman supposedly changes her hairstyle 36 times throughout her life. The most popular look, according to nearly half of women surveyed, is shoulder-length; 25% of women go for a chin-length bob while 22% prefer long locks. As for color, a third of women change it every three years, while 17% have never dyed their hair. Read the story here.
This study was conducted by Fabriah.com a beauty products company.

6:45 New Year's Eve was on Wednesday, but many people still have time off from work. Maybe the party is continuing for you? Maybe not. Either way, this bar in NYC decided to came up with 147 year old hangover remedies.
I could probably choke down the Annabelle's Headbanger. Annabelle's Head Banger: If the belly wash seemed rough, the head banger is on another level, according to Sherry. The drink is a mix of green tea extract, banana, honey, spinach juice, gherkin juice, asparagus juice, garlic, lentils, white kidney beans and cayenne pepper. It's better than the Belly Wash Read about the historic hangover remedies here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/12/29/new-year-hangover-cures/20998379/
A Houston boy spent 2014 saving his money and ended the year with 120 in his piggy bank.
When his dad asked him how he wanted to spend the cash, the kid offered up an unexpected idea … he wanted to make lunches for homeless people.
So, his parents took him shopping for groceries and helped him make dozens of sandwiches.
They packed up the sack lunches and drove through the city, passing out free food to people living on the street.
And, lucky for us, they posted the touching images of their adventures online. (Imgur)
7:45 Random facts to make you say hmmmm...a statistical look at who we are and the things we do …
• 70% of us say we're often disappointed by the gifts we receive during the holidays. • 50% of men go to a hardware store (or building center) … every weekend. • 35% of us dress casually at work … every day. • 30% of us have no clue how to re-fill the windshield washer fluid in a car. • 24% of cellphone owners say the room in which they use their phone most is … the bathroom. • 2% of us claim we change the bed sheets … every day.
✓ A pint of beer, a glass of wine, and a shot of vodka all contain about the same amount of alcohol. ✓ Discovery of late Stone Age jugs suggests that intentionally fermented beverages existed at least as early as the Neolithic period (about 10,000 BC). ✓ Most vegetables and almost all fruits contain a small amount of alcohol in them. ✓ In some other countries, the legal drinking age is as low as 16. Many high school cafeterias in Europe serve alcohol to students who choose to drink. ✓ Research suggests that, at any given time, 0.7% of the world population is drunk. That means 50 million people are drunk right now. ✓ A muscular person has a higher alcohol tolerance than someone with more body fat. Water-rich muscle tissue absorbs alcohol more effectively, preventing it from reaching the brain. ✓ A bottle of champagne contains 90 pounds of pressure per square inch, 3 times that found in car tires. That's why a popped champagne cork can travel as fast as 60 mph (97 km/h). ✓ The most prolific beer-drinking country in the world is the Czech Republic, with an incredible per capita beer consumption of almost 40 gallons a year. ✓ One of the most popular drinks in Cambodia is Tarantula Brandy; a delectable concoction that includes rice liquor and freshly dead tarantulas. ✓ Vodka is the world's most popular liquor by a huge margin, with about 5 billion liters consumed every year. – Condensed from List25.com
8:45 Friday Toy Memory: Gak! My buddy Rich stopped by and we got to talking about toys when we were kids. So in honor of him stopping by, we went with his childhood toy memory. Gak. He said his grandma used to get mad at him for getting it all over the carpet. Ewwww!
First of all, what is this stuff actually made of? It can be squirted, it can blow into a bubble, it can make fart noises! Mostly though, when I had it, it just got dirt and dust bunnies all over it. Read more: http://www.gurl.com/2012/09/05/gross-toys-80s-90s-slime/#ixzz3NfgZPN9d

At PupLife we are always searching for cool new trends in the pet industry. One of the neatest ideas we have heard in a long time is DOGTV.
As its name suggests, DOGTV is television designed exclusively for dogs. Its producers spent hundreds of hours to create content that caters to a dog's well being and unique sense of sight, hearing and movement detection. Everything from the visuals – the scenery, scenarios, color palettes and camera angles – to the audio soundtracks were selected with a dog's experience in mind.
We also like the fact that DOGTV is created with the dog's well being first in mind. DOGTV programming is organized into relaxation, stimulation and exposure segments that provide just the right balance for the daily cycle of "stay-at-home" pups. "Animals need visual and auditory simulation throughout the day. DOGTV presents a breakthrough with programming that is created specifically for dogs," said Dr. Nicholas H. Dodman, BVMS, MRCVS, a veterinarian specializing in animal behavior. "It will help millions of dogs that are left home alone every day and also help pet parents who don't have the luxury of taking their dog with them to work or paying for doggy daycare."
Currently, DOGTV is only offered on TV in the San Diego test market. However, it's available as a streaming online channel that can be accessed by any pet lover in the world. Plus, our friends at DOGTV have created a special offer just for PupLife readers. When you use the special promotion code PUPLIFE50 you'll receive 50 percent off the online streaming price for the first month.
To sign up for DOGTV online streaming or for more information, please visit the DOGTV Web Site or like DogTV On Facebook. Have your dog check it out and let us know what you think!

My version of this traditional Greek Soup has a little thyme and parsley added to the broth. |
(Updated with new photos and slightly easier instructions and added to Recipe Favorites, December 2011) For years Avgolemono Soup has been one of my favorite things to order in a Greek restaurant so in 2006 I tried making it for my New Year's Day Soup Party and posted it on the blog. This year for Thanksgiving I had the idea of trying this soup with leftover turkey instead of chicken, but I ran out of turkey before that idea could come to pass. I couldn't get the thought of Egg-Lemon-Rice Soup out of my mind though, so I made my original recipe again and took some greatly improved photos. My version of this soup has a little dried parsley and dried thyme added to the stock, plus a little lemon zest in the Avgolemono sauce, which isn't always used in authentically Greek versions. I love this recipe which produces a flavorful soup that stayed good in the fridge for about five days, with me eating some nearly every day for lunch.
Beat eggs until they're getting frothy, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
Some Greeks made this soup with just chicken stock, rice, and the avgolemono sauce, but I always like the bits of chicken in the soup.
And just for fun, here's my original Avgolemono Soup photo from back in 2006!
Egg-Lemon-Rice Soup(Avgolemono Soup)
(Makes 4-6 servings, adapted from The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Three Ancient Cuisines
Ingredients if you don't have leftover chicken or turkey:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 2 chicken breasts
6 cups water or chicken stock
1 T chicken soup base (if cooking thighs in water)
Ingredients with cooked leftover chicken:
6 cups chicken stock (I use my homemade chicken stock)
2 tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup Uncle Ben's Converted Rice (not instant)
2 cups diced leftover chicken (or turkey)
2 eggs
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon zest (grated lemon rind)
Instructions if you need to cook the chicken:
Instructions if you have leftover chicken:
Zest a lemon and then squeeze lemons to get 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. Beat eggs with whisk until they are starting to get frothy. Then whisk in lemon juice and lemon zest. Remove one cup of hot broth from the soup, and whisk 1/2 cup and then another 1/2 cup into the egg mixture, beating well between each addition.
Whisk this mixture into the big pot of soup (be sure the temperature is very low) and let the soup heat gently. DO NOT BOIL after the egg-lemon mixture has been added. This soup cannot be frozen and must be reheated carefully or the eggs will curdle the broth. It did keep well in the fridge for about 5 days.

Just got off the phone with D* customer service, nice guy. Asked about the HR-44 and he informed me that it would not be available until May or June.
I know this is really not worth much but, I was on the phone with DirecTV yesterday saying that I wanted a Genie but wanted to wait for the new box. They said within the next month or two and it sounded like there would be the possibility of specifying the 44 model. I was surprised at that (would be more surprised if it were true... but still).

mustang 1996 gt 4.6 sohc / cobra 4.6 dohc swap ?
Posts: 2
What would I have to do to swap the stock sohc 1996 mustang gt to a dohc engine . I have the complete car for parts ? Thanks . G.
82boss Posts: 3I would belive that it would fit just fine without any mod's done to the engine bay do to the fact that there both 4.6 Ltr's however I have heard alot about the dohc's not really putting out without giving you headaches in the end. The way to do it is to port and polish that head and monifold if the manifold is aluminum at least, and do some head work new spring's lock's roller's and the whole kit can be picked up for a little over a hundred bux if you do your shopping right, then drop a good cam. Check out some other online forum's but if you just want to do the entire swap it should bolt right up...
s14slide Posts: 1yeah, that's great that you have the whole car for the swap. Ensure the computer is in good working order, but other than that, you might have to swap or slightly modify the wiring harness here or there. There should be a lot of info about this on Ford mod engine specific forums. Now gets to the researching and let see a GT sleeper come to life!
jparker277 Posts: 1I'm currently putting a 97' Mark VIII 4.6 in 97' Cobra and I had to do was to change the wire harness,intake,valve covers. The most important change was the Mark VIII 6 bolt flywheel from the 8 bolt flywheel 5 speed Cobra tranny. I bought a 6 bolt kit(Mustang GT) and made the conversion.

- 4 cups ripe tomatoes, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped (for best results, use a variety of tomatoes)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil, cut into chiffonade
- Salt
- 1 1/3 pounds freshly ground lamb
- 2 tablespoons five-peppercorn blend, cracked or very coarsely ground
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/4 cup Merlot
- Salt
- Olive oil, for brushing on the grill rack
- 4 hamburger buns, split
- 4 red leaf lettuce leaves
1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
Taste and add the remaining pepper sauce to taste. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency, and then remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Stir the basil into the cooled mixture and season to taste with salt. Set aside.
2. To make the jam, combine the tomatoes, sugar, ginger, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper sauce in a flame-proof nonreactive saucepan. Place the pan on the grill rack and bring the mixture to a slow simmer. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally and moving on and off the heat as necessary, until the mixture is reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
Move the pan to the coolest part of the rack and continue to cook for another 15 minutes.
3. To make the patties, combine the lamb, peppercorn blend, garlic, sesame oil, and Merlot in a large bowl and season with salt. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the buns.
4. Brush the grill rack with olive oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
5. To assemble the burgers, spread the cut sides of the buns with the tomato jam. On each bun bottom, place a lettuce leaf and a patty. Add the bun tops and serve.

Dr. Barry Campbell, department chair of Biological and Physical Sciences at Delta State University, continues to use his expertise of the little buggers to help control the mosquito population in Cleveland.
Campbell and his students will take part in what he calls "Community Based Mosquito Control" this summer and fall to assist Cleveland's contracted abatement company, Advanced Mosquito Control, Inc.
Students will help in a number of ways — from trapping mosquitoes to determine problem species in town, to partnering with local youth and church groups to clean up citizen's yards and even providing residents with the basics of mosquito biology.
And the students will be led by a man with an abundance of mosquito knowledge.
Campbell, a Tennessee native, came to DSU in 1999 but first got heavily involved with the pesky insects by assisting mosquito control in the 1980s in New Orleans.
He obtained his master's and doctoral degrees from the highly regarded Tulane University parasitology program, but long before then he knew he wanted to focus on parasitic animals.
"I was intrigued early on and was sure that I would study things that live at the expense of over living things," Campbell said.
He remembers seeing a tapeworm crawl out of his dog at the age of 12 and being hooked on the parasitic concept ever since.
His continued passion for the subject matter would eventually lead him to university positions in Wisconsin and the Caribbean, and he also served time with the National Wildlife Research Center, where he focused on mosquito born diseases.
"I figured out with my time at the research center that if I have to know about the diseases, I should know about the mosquitoes too," he said.
From then on he has continued to experiment, learn and explore.
Campbell collects, raises and samples local populations to have a greater understanding of mosquito behavior in Cleveland and the Delta.
He also spends substantial time taking macro photographs of the species up close and shooting videos of them at their different biological stages, claiming that documenting their characteristics will help educate people about the problem.
His knowledge has come in handy, as Mississippi and the South have witnessed a growing problem of West Nile Virus, which happens when a mosquito bites an infected bird or animal and gets the virus while feeding on the animal's blood.
The infected mosquito can then transmit the virus to another bird, human or animal when it feeds again.
"We've learned that a majority of the mosquitoes that have West Nile Virus are made here in town in small areas of water," said Campbell. "They have about a one-mile flight range, and chances are if you've been bitten by a West Nile mosquito it happened right around your house."
So part of the solution is to make a communal effort to "mosquito proof" property.
"Do something to clean up around your house," he said. "Don't have standing water, old tires, potted plants or trash from yard work.
"And don't use incandescent low-wattage bulbs for your outdoor lighting," contended Campbell, asserting that mosquitoes are attracted to incandescent lights below 60 watts."
Campbell and his students will continue to spread awareness on simple control techniques and provide a helping hand to the city's abatement program.
They will also promote green mosquito control concepts, such as building bat boxes and utilizing larva-eating fish that can be transmitted between different ditches and canals.
"Also, don't kill dragonflies," he said. "They eat a ton of mosquitoes locally."
Bill Alexander, manager of Advanced Mosquito Control, is thrilled to have Campbell lend his expert support.
"We've made what I think is a major acquisition for our program by having Dr. Campbell work with us this year," said Alexander. "He knows more about mosquitoes than anyone I've ever known.
"He can tell what species a mosquito is if he sees it flying in a mile away. He's that knowledgeable."
For more information on WNV and other mosquito-borne illnesses, a checklist to reduce the mosquito population in and around homes, and recommended mosquito repellents, visit the MSDH website at www.HealthyMS.com/westnile or call the WNV toll-free hotline from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 1-877-WST-NILE (1-877-978-6453).

Lincoln LS Tires
I have a 2000 Lincoln LS with about 75,000 miles.
I am on my 4th set of tires. The first last about 35000, the second about 10000 Firehawks, the third about 14,000. I have a set of snow tires as well. I do mostly city driving and I am average driver (no speeding or fast starts. When I pull into my garage, I frequently smell rubber. Any ideas? I love the car but the tire wear is disturbing.

akirby Posts: 7,757It's on the tag in the driver's side door jamb. The factory recommendation is 30, but most people run 32-36 (or even as high as 40) depending on tires and personal preference. If you have Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires you should run at least 34 to prevent premature wear on the center strip. As long as you're not getting more wear on the shoulders then they're not overinflated.

No rubber smell anymore. The steering is back to orginial and hopefully the tires will go to a normal life

queengina Posts: 2Hello,
I just bought my 2005 Lincoln LS back in March. This past weekend I brought it to get the tires rotated since I had already put 9,000 miles on the car. The technician told me that all of the tires are dry rotting and the tread is gone and I should get them replaced before the winter comes (I live in Massachusetts)
I would like a good tire that is decent in the snow and wet grounds and can at least get some good milage out of them before being replaced. Any suggestions?
Also....should I contact the dealership who sold me the car? I bought the car with 21,700 miles on it. I believe the tires are the original tires on the car but the tech said the rot is so bad it doesn't happen like that overnight. I already had a problem with this dealership and had to bring back the car 5 times to be serviced because of bad brake pads and rotors (they gave me a car to drive away that needed all new pads and rotors, so much for inspecting the car before giving it to me!!)
Thank you in advance for your help!

queengina Posts: 2I don't know what kind of tires they are, I'll have to look. But they look bad, and they are all dry rotted. Dry rotted tires don't happen over night. I have already had problems with this car since the day I bought it, and the dealership has to keep replacing things on the car. I had to have my attorney called and threaten them with the Lemon Law.
I don't want to go back there anymore so I would rather just buy 4 brand new tires, especially with winter coming.
What kind of tires do you suggest?
Thank you,

idacat Posts: 1I hope someone who has this problem will benefit from my post. I have an 11 year old LSV8 with 97K miles. Yes it is getting up there but it's a solid car and has served me well; I was not intending to trade it in. One day a couple of weeks ago I noticed a subtle squeak or squeal when doing the sharp turn out of my driveway, and when turning going at very low speed, as when looking for a parking space in a crowded lot. It was definitely not metal on metal or, it didn't sould like it, and, it wasn't loud but I took it in to the dealer later that day thinking it was maybe a minor power stearing issue, no handing problems, no symptoms other than the sound, which it has not made since that day.
Well I got my eyes opened, especially re the Ford/ Lincoln dealer. The diagnosis: needs new ball joints, both sides, and new tie rods. The dealer estimate, which I got in writing, was $519.side for the sealed (and therefore unmaintainable) ball joint, and $ 120 each side for the tie rods; plus total $500 for labor and a necessary front in alignment, another $75. I thought this insane and figured it was time for a new car,but first I Googled the issue and found many, many references to a much less (and better) fix using regular old fashioned ball joints; the parts at a tenth of the price of the OEM dealer parts. I did some calling around to friends and found one who had a friend who had could recommend an "exotic car" ( the frame and suspension are Jaguar)mechanic who looked at the car yesterday and will replace the ball joint assembley with the servicable (not sealed)ball joints with which Jaguar had replaced sealed ones years ago; he's done this in several LS's and Jaguars using not no name generic parts,,,,,,but Jaguar parts. He was also under the impression that Ford/Lincoln had been switching these ill conceived parts as they presented using the Jaguar parts.
A beyond aggravated me found out from the Ford/Lincoln service department and found that this was indeed the case BUT the customer had to suggest the use of aftermarket parts. So my car goes into the Jaguar mechanic Monday. I'll get my oil changed at Ford/Lincoln, it's actually less expensive than the quicky lube places and WM, and in my experience they have not tried to railroad me in to unnecessary stuff, which the quicky type lube places HAVE.
I have not had much beyond routine maintainance done on this care yet, but from now on I will absolutely ask questions first.
