Are you aware that drinking the water that runs through your garden hose could be harmful to your health? Most people don't give a second thought to quenching their thirst from the garden hose while they are attending to their outdoor gardening activities, especially on those really hot summers days when a sip seems irresistible. The most important factor to take into consideration is the material that your garden hose has been manufactured from. Most use PVC which contains a lead compound.
The lead in the hose can filter into water that runs through the hose, or in even greater amounts, in water that stands in the hose when not in use. This process can lead to dangerous levels of lead being present in the water that far exceeds safety levels.
PVC Garden Hoses
Some States have legislated that PVC garden hoses carry a warning that the materials could cause serious health issues such as cancer, infertility and birth defects. However, consumers need to be aware that manufacturers don't want to advertise the fact that their product may be harmful and the warning may not be prominently displayed. In some products, the warning will only relate that drinking from the hose may not be safe.
Lead poisoning is harmful in adults but can be extremely dangerous in children, specifically under the age of six years. The damage caused to the central nervous system and brain results in long lasting defects that are irreversible.
Lead Toxicity Levels
Industry standards have resolved that the lead contamination from a garden hose cannot be absorbed by plants and is therefore safe for use in watering the garden. However, lead can build-up in the soil resulting in higher toxicity levels that could eventually cause damage to plants. Any fruits, vegetables, herbs or other plants that are grown with the purpose of consumption can retain lead and become dangerous when eaten.
To avoid the various health risks that are associated with lead toxicity, it is advisable to purchase a garden hose that doesn't contain PVC or any other lead compounds. It is also recommended to leave the water running for a few minutes before taking a drink from your garden hose, even if you have purchased one that has been determined to be 'drink-safe'.

This is a product no one in my family can live without. Anytime someone has sinus problems, cold, sore throat, ear ache, etc. - we grab "the green tin". Can't say that it "cures" the problem, but it usually takes the pain away immediately. Not something that you want to use just before going out, as the smell is kinda' strong; but really could not live without it. Also, be aware that when you use it near your eyes - they'll water.My dh used to laugh at me when our boys would tell me about some pain and I'd say to get "the green tin" - then he finally tried it and now he uses it and tells our boys to get "the green tin" 8^) Also, recommended it to a friend whose son has sinus problems and he loves it too.

I grew up on this my Mom would grease our chest as soon as there was any sign of cold season and make use swallow a little bit. My brothers and myself would always frown, but we also didn't get the colds and flu and coughs that come with cold season. As an adult I have reintroduced it to my kids same reaction but it works and not just for what's on the label it is a JACK OF ALL TRADES!!

By Eris

Like compressed Vick's vapor rub. Good stuff, not that strong (chinese oils are very strong). Used it when I had a cold to moisturize my nose, rub on chest. But the tin is wide and flat and a pain to open if you have small hands.

My husband and I are just getting over the chest flu. We have never been so congested and this worked a miracle for that, along with some non-medicated saline nasal soluction, good chap stick, and plenty to drink and we're swiftly on the mend. Excellent stuff!! And, so many uses, what a treasure of a product to have on hand.

Bones from house will be identified, returned
Published: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 11:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 11:23 a.m.
HOUMA An investigation by state scientists will determine what happens to about 100 human bones found Saturday inside a house in Gibson, officials said.
Spokesmen for both the Terrebonne Sheriffs Office and the Terrebonne Coroners Office say the bones are not suspected to be related to any crime and no charges are being contemplated.
Those bones have been out there since the 1800s, said Gary Alford, senior investigator at the coroners office.
Investigators said the bones are being sent for analysis by the Anthropology Department at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Once the analysis is complete, law-enforcement officials will determine whether a crime occurred.
If there is no crime, and the bones are more than 50 years old, they then fall under the responsibility of the states Division of Archaeology.
Our office is notified, then it really becomes a consultation among all interested parties to decide whats the best solution, said Chip McGimsey, director of the Division of Archaeology.
There is not a set protocol, he said. If the remains are American Indian, then the appropriate tribes will be consulted, he said. If the bones turn out to belong to another ethnic group, different groups may be notified.
Because the bones were found on private property, the state has no authority to go in and search for more remains, McGimsey said. But if more remains are found, state officials must be contacted.
The law clearly states that you cannot disturb human remains, McGimsey said. Its their responsibility under the law to contact us. The law applies to everybody across the board. Theres not a penalty process.
Parish records show the Gibson property, 234 Fandal St., is part of the estate of Elizabeth Morgan, who died three years ago. The owner contacted by sheriffs deputies Saturday was Schriever resident Mark Morgan, Elizabeths son. He refused to comment.
Mark Morgan is trying to sell the property through LaRussa Real Estate, which led to the Saturday discovery of about 100 human bones, mostly rib and limb bones. As LaRussa Real Estate agent Angela Adams showed the home to potential buyers, she discovered the bones and called police.
Before Elizabeth Morgan, the property can be traced back nearly five decades to Anna Salome Fandal, a scion of the family that once owned much of the property in the area. The street is named after the Fandal family.
The property was passed down to Fandals daughter, Winnie. In 1968, Winnie sold it to her niece, Elizabeth, who was then married to Floyd Jack Morgan.
Jack Morgan, who now lives in Athens, Ga., said he doesnt remember ever finding human bones on the property. The house, he said, was already built by Winnie when he and Elizabeth moved in. But he said there was some digging involved in building the garage.
When they dug all we ever found was animal bones, Jack Morgan said. We found a couple of arrowheads down at the bottom.
Gia Imbornone, granddaughter of Elizabeth and Jack Morgan, said her grandmother told her that the bones were found when the house was built. Imbornone said she visited the house regularly as a child, when her grandmother helped raise her. She added that she didnt visit the house regularly until after Elizabeth and Jack were divorced, and the bones may have been found after Jack moved away.
My grandma was a pack rat. She had those bones, and she kept them, said Imbornone, who works at a clinic in Madisonville. She just didnt want to get rid of them because she thought it would be wrong.

As I posted earlier,
If the 49ers wanted to take a guard AND a tackle, we could have easily taken Davis AND Bulaga, with the loser playing guard.
Even Jon Gruden stated on ESPN that he though Bulaga will end up being a pro-bowl guard.
So why did we pass and take Iupati instead.
My hunch is that the 49ers have Iupati rated higher as a run-blocker, which Singletary covets.

Hoist by their own petard: The constraints of hierarchical models
In the context of the motor skill literature on observational learning and hierarchical skill structuring, Byrne & Russon's findings call into question their standpoint that great apes imitate the behaviour of role models at the programme level. The authors impose a hierarchical model on their observations without properly considering alternative explanations. One such possibility, which stems from a constraints perspective that they dismiss, is put forward.

Tuesday, January 29,2013 I decided to go online to enter the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. Usually I would send my entries by mail but in order to send my entry faster, I attempted to submit mine online. Publishers Clearing House always says you can enter as often as you like and there is no purchase necessary.
I submitted my entry successfully, and was directed to continue onward, which I did. the page opened up to some items, a sack of gold, two crossed swords, etc.. Each had a target next to them and I was to choose one of these items and click on it's target. When I did , immediately pops up is a sign saying I've won a 25% off discount on a purchase. Great! No problem!
I browsed through to see if they had something I might be interested in and found nothing in particular that I wanted to buy, so I attempted to leave the page. I was interrupted by a "Pop-up" asking me do I really want to leave the page, that if I click to leave the page I will forfeit my entry. So I clicked to stay on the page. When I did that, the page went blank.
I made a second attempt to leave and the "Pop-up" came up again! After seeing nothing but a blank page again I tried to leave the site and the same message popped up but this time I opted to click the "leave the page" option, therefore forfeiting my entry for a chance to win $5000.00 a week forever! Publishers Clearing House, tell the truth! In order for an individual to have a successful entry into your sweepstakes they do have to purchase something, if not, their entry is forfeited!! Not Good!

Tyson Fury Targets Seth Mitchell: He's Made For Me!
by Frank Stea
Undefeated heavyweight contender Tyson Fury 19-0 (14KOs) is currently awaiting his next opponent for a ring return date of December 1st in Belfast, Ireland.
An eager Fury recently told World Boxing News that his previous 19 professional contests were all showcase fights and the time is right for him to now step up and some of fight the bigger names in the division.
The ex-Irish champion realizes that he is not going to lure in names such as David Haye, David Price, Alexander Povetkin and the top dog Wladimir Klitschko, all of whom he expressed a great interest in fighting immediately and may need to fight some of the title pretenders first.
Apparently, there is a proposed date in March that may see the outspoken fighter make his debut in the United States against names in the ilk of Tomasz Adamek, although Fury has now shown the most interest in a battle with unbeaten American heavyweight star Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell 25-0 (19KOs).
"If I was coming to the U.S. to fight, I'd like to fight Seth Mitchell," Fury told World Boxing News.
"He's got a good ranking by the WBC and I think it would be a sell-able fight for T.V.
"People would be interest in seeing two undefeated heavyweights go in there and getting it on like the old days.
"I think that would be a good fight and I think he is tailor made for me - so there we have it.
"There is the challenge, let's make it happen."

The first step of the process is an investigation, which involves three components: first, one of the company's attorneys will reach out to the revenue officer assigned to the case to get briefed on that particular client's situation; second, a copy of the client's tax transcript is pulled for review; third, one of Victory Tax Solutions' paralegals will contact the client to conduct a financial review, enabling the company to understand the client's current financial situation. "Based on going through that information, that will help out attorneys determine what resolutions the client might be eligible for and what's the appropriate solution for their particular situation," explains Louis Meeks, a representative of Victory Tax Solutions. The second step in the process is to actually process all the back taxes that need to be done, as well as negotiate the resolution that's in the best interest of the client.
Throughout the process, Victory places a priority on communication with the client, to ensure that they are aware and involved in the developments of their case. Each client is assigned an account executive and tax attorney, as well as assistance from a paralegal. "Each of those three people are in continuous communication throughout the life of the client being a client at Victory," states Mr. Meeks. Victory also places importance on making sure that each time one of their clients contacts the office, they get a live person on the phone, rather than an automated system. "We think [that] is the most effective way to serve our clients, with real people, not an automated system," he states.
Victory Tax Solutions Complaint Resolution
At times, a client may feel unsatisfied with the services they received. "Fortunately, it does not happen very often," explains Mr. Meeks. However, the few times they have had an unsatisfied customer, Mr. Meeks states that it is generally caused by unrealistic expectations on the part of the client. "Some people just wanted all of their taxes to go away, and because we could not talk the IRS into having $80,000 in back taxes [disappear], then we are the bad guys. In every case, we have given a full money back refund in attempt to satisfy the client, and we've recommended that they hire someone else because we can't meet their expectations," he states.
Once a complaint is resolved, Victory Tax Solutions employs a follow-up process to ensure the continued satisfaction of the client. "As the president of the organization, I like to speak to every unhappy client to understand what we here at Victory could do to improve our processes to ensure that we are delivering the extraordinary service that we work so hard to deliver," states Mr. Meeks. The team at Victory strives to learn as much as they can from each situation with an unhappy client, allowing them to constantly evolve and improve their services.
To ensure that their clients are receiving the highest quality service, Victory only employs CPAs and licensed attorneys. "We pay for all of the continuing education credits necessary to maintain their active status as Certified Public Accountants or Tax Attorneys. We do everything necessary to ensure that we have the highest quality, most experienced attorneys and CPAs doing this very important work for our clients," explains Mr. Meeks. Victory is also a member of the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers, holds an "A" rating with the Better Business Bureau, and are accredited with the industry association for professional ethical organizations.
Mr. Meeks and the team at Victory Tax Solutions recognize the value of working with Ripoff Report and the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, and the platform it provides for businesses and clients to interact to resolve issues. "Our reputation, online and everywhere, is very, very important to us and we know that consumers look to Ripoff Report to find trusted vendors for goods and services. We are proud to put our record out there and really support Ripoff Report because we need the record to state how we do provide 99% customer satisfaction and industry leading money-back guarantee," states Mr. Meeks.

"My nightmare began in the summer of 2012, I received an IRS notice that I owed over $70,000 in back taxes. Needless to say that a notice like that gives you a new perspective on the exact location of your rear end. I entrusted my tax return to that H&R somebody and ended up with an IRS dilemma. After going back and forth with the H&R people I decided it was more important to take care of the IRS problem and then deal with the incompetence of my tax preparer. That night I spent several hours on the inter-web and found VTS and Erick Finkiewicz. Immediately he assured me that in some way shape or form this issue would get resolved, that night I felt a bit of relief and was able to sleep without that heavy burden of taking on the IRS by myself. VTS gave my case to Jennifer Long, ( words cannot be put in this review that can measure the gratitude that I owe to this person that I only know by phone calls and E-mails ), Jennifer took my case, explained to me the situation that I was in, and how we were going to get resolution with it. I'm not going to tell you that things were resolved over night because they weren't, but Jennifer kept me abreast of everything the whole time. Finally in May of this year I received resolution in my case. I could not be any happier with the outcome that VTS and Jennifer Long got for me. VTS is located in Ann Arbor, MI. and I'm in Miami Fl. but it always felt like they were right up the street from me, all my phone calls and E-Mails were always answered expeditiously. I recommend this company to anyone who is looking for professionals to deal with a serious problem with the precision of a surgeon. THANK YOU VICTORY TAX SOLUTIONS AND A WARM HEART FELT THANK YOU TO JENNIFER LONG !!!!!! (yes I'm yelling)." ~ J Gonzalez, Florida
"Well, it all started when the IRS finally caught up to me! I could no longer afford to ignore them and knew I was going to need professional help. I had been seeing all these TV and radio commercials for tax help. I don't have a lot of money to waste so it was very important to me to select a reputable team that would help me. I did my research, and with the good reviews and an A rating from the BBB, I settled for Victory Tax Solutions. With my first call to them, I told them my problems, they were very knowledgeable, explained the process and they made me feel that I would be in good hands. Victory Tax Solutions has helped me thru a difficult tax issue. They have kept me appraised of my case and are always ready to answer any questions I may have. I'd like to thank Heather and Steve, they are the best. And that goes for the whole team too. I recommend them highly!" ~ Diane T, CA
"When I was approached by the IRS to garnish my wages I was devastated by the amount that would be taken each month from my payroll. I would not be able to afford the basic essentials such housing, food or transportation to and from work. I knew I had to act quickly and all I could think of was that I needed to have victory over this debt. The word 'VICTORY' stuck out to me. So I went to the Better Business Bureau website and typed in the words 'VICTORY' and 'TAX' and this is how I found Victory Tax Solutions. I read their A+ rating score, gave them a call. Immediately after my first visit they began working on my behalf setting up a payment schedule that I could easily afford and contacting the IRS preventing the garnishments against me. They communicated with the IRS to resolve my tax debt by setting up a plan that I could easily follow. I now have the 'VICTORY'. If you are feeling like there is no way out pick of the phone call now and you too will have the victory with 'VICTORY TAX SOLUTIONS'!" ~ K Morris, MI
"The Victory Tax Solutions goal is 100% client satisfaction. Realistically, there is not a company in any industry that can truly attain 100% satisfaction. However, Victory Tax Solutions takes great pride in the fact that we have had just two complaints in our entire company history! Having had over 4000 clients, we average one complaint for every 2000 clients. This is the absolute highest satisfaction rate in the entire tax resolution industry.
If any client ever has a concern, we absolutely encourage them to speak to and share their concerns with the President of our firm, Louis Meeks. Our entire team loves any and all feedback, positive and negative. It is this valuable feedback, that enables Victory to maintain and improve upon its best in industry reputation as "America's Trusted Tax Team".
At Victory, we understand the pressure and stress that accompanies IRS and state tax problems. In our opinion, it takes special team members to deliver the greatest results for our clients. Our team members are tenacious with the IRS, yet compassionate with our clients. They negotiate very strongly with the IRS, yet are extremely respectful to each and every client. At Victory, we have developed a very detailed hiring protocol to ensure we only invite the most effective tax attorneys, CPA's, and paralegals to join our awesome team!

Complaint filer was never a client
AUTHOR: Victory Tax Solutions - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, October 09, 2012POSTED: Tuesday, October 09, 2012
This individual is not and never has been a client of Victory Tax Solutions. He is listed in our system as someone who inquired for our services. However, He never signed an agreement and our team never did any work for him. When I received the complaint, I called and left four voice mails over the course of four days. I received no response.
Victory Tax Solutions is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau with an "A" rating. If we provided the horrible service this man accused us of, there is no way we would hold our accredited status with the BBB.
Victory Tax Solutions is committed to 100% client satisfaction. Our tax team is led by full time Tax Attorneys. They take their ethical responsibilities very seriously. If Victory Tax Solutions and its team performed the way this person claimed, our attorneys law licenses would be at risk of being removed by the American Bar Association. I would never allow any of our attorneys (or CPA's and IRS Enrolled Agents) to put their professional licenses at risk.
The following are a couple of testimonials that speak to the real services that we provide:
"I trust victory tax solutions and would recommend them to anyone in my situation. I owed the IRS $90,000. I was scared and could not stop thinking about it. I was losing sleep and had difficulty focusing on the things that were important. The IRS was going to garnish my wages. I had no idea how I could get by if that happened. I called Victory Tax Solutions and they stopped the garnishment and found a solution to my problem."
LS from South Carolina
"I can't express how grateful I am. Thank you so very much. I did receive a confirmation email from my payroll department regarding the garnishment release. I hope you know how much this means to me."
With sincere gratitude,
Diane D from Tennessee
"I found Victory Tax Solutions in the phone book and they were excellent to work with. They took very good care of me and I am now on a payment plan I can afford. I am a truck driver and on the road all the time, but Victory made it easy to work with them. During my investigation, the IRS changed my contact person and if I hadn't been represented by Victory's tax attorneys, I would have been in bad shape.'
Truck Driver James, Illinois
As the President and CEO of Victory Tax Solutions, I take our reputation and ethical commitment very seriously. Our entire team takes a great deal of pride in providing great results for our clients. We do it every day. I am happy to discuss this bogus complaint. My toll free number is 877-772-0123. I am at extension 200. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I do not want to get too detailed (he'll know who I am if I do), I will give a quick overview. you can decided for yourself if you want to take this note to heart.
The new manager called to tell me I needed thousands of dollars of work done (I went in for a simple oil change). Rather than just agree to it on the phone, I said I would take my car into the manufacturer's garage for the work since it was still under warranty for many items. He got livid that I would take car to him for oil change but not bigger items. So he tells me to take my car to them for everything. That's rude, but fine.
But when I go to pick up my car, I'm charged far more than I've ever been charged before for an oil change -- and the next week, when my car is taken to dealer for work, they ask if I need an oil change. I say I don't think so, I just had one. The guy at dealer says he doesn't think I have.
I hate that America's Service Station in Norcross has become what it has. It really used to be a great place. But it's not anymore, and "caveat emptor", don't say you weren't warned if you step foot there.

Review: Making Fictions with Claire Stigliani

Skylight Music Theatre finds heart, hope with 'In the Heights'
In the Act 1 finale for "In the Heights" — which opened Friday night at Skylight Music Theatre, under the direction of Ragnar Conde (stage) and Jeff Schaetzke (music) — a nighttime power blackout sends a careening Washington Heights barrio toward the brink.
It's the beginning of the Fourth of July weekend, but freedom and independence seem further than ever for the barrio's residents, each of whose All-American dreams have curdled faster than the soured milk in the local bodega — where the refrigerator is on the fritz and the owner is in a funk. »Read Full Article
MSO program blends different sounds with shared roots
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra held a musical reunion of sorts Friday evening at the Marcus Center, performing music of Leonard Bernstein, Lukas Foss and Samuel Barber.
The three composers, who were trained within a relatively small window of time at the Curtis Institute of Music, wrote with distinct and disparate voices. Their music — programmed for a single concert and conducted by another Curtis alum, MSO associate conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong — was a fascinating look at the variety of style in American orchestral music of the 20th century. »Read Full Article

According to the website, if I ordered this "acupressure mat," I'd be able to feel restored blood circulation and endorphins which are like the sex hormones, and WOAH, who doesn't want more sex hormones? Also: increased blood circulation is probably good, although I admit that my back hasn't felt particularly necrotic.
So I ordered one. I figured, "like sex but without condoms and conversation" + "increased blood circulation" would equal a whole lotta RADNESS.
When it arrived in the mail, I clapped with glee. My back blood was practically NOT circulating (lies) and I hadn't had sex in forever. I just KNEW this mat would change my life. It's like one of those As Seen On Television Products, where you're all, I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A LIFE CHANGING BOOGER CLEANER, and really, it's just a bulb syringe they give new babies at the hospital, when they should be giving their MOTHER'S more pain meds.
Alas, I digress.
Carefully, deciding to take a break from The Job Hunt, I laid the mat on my bed, ready to get my endorphin on. Being the sort of idiot who hears "don't do this," which somehow translates into my three remaining brain cells as "you should totally do this. All the COOL kids are," I touched one of the spiky things figuring, "hey, if Imma lay on this, I should know what I'm up against."
The motherfucker totally scratched my hand.
Oh well, I said to my cat who was sitting on the other half of the bed, staring at me as though I'd suddenly turned into one of the Olsen twins, let's get my endorphin on.
I stretched and squinched, trying to figure out the best way to mount such an obstacle without scraping the skin off my back entirely, eventually deciding that log rolling onto it was probably the best course of action. I was wrong. The acupressure mat, now covered in bits of my skin that were, moments before, minding their own business, won. But because I am not only annoying, but stupid too, I decided to lay there, shirt off, on the thing for the ten minutes the instruction book suggested that newbies try.
The pain wasn't as immense or intolerable as I'd expected, considering how damn sharp the things were, and I was pleased that I hadn't tried acupuncture – not because I'm afraid of needles (see also: large tattoos) – but because I was afraid that the ancient acupuncturist* would be all, "OH MY STARS – YOU HAVE NO QI! GET OUT DEVIL WOMAN!" I figured that since acupuncture and acupressure SOUND the same, it was probably similar results… minus the ancient man yelling about my Qi.
I laid there on a mat of plastic nails for awhile, waiting to feel the rush of endorphins. Instead of feeling all "I just had an orgasm," my back began to feel as though it had turned to liquid. I half-expected the blood to begin seeping onto the sheets, especially once Basementless Kitty decided that now was a mighty fine time to splay his 35 pound body atop mine, pushing me further into the plastic nails.
When I finally peeled my warm back off the mat, I was particularly shocked to discover no blood.
Cools, I thought. I gotta use this motherfucker AGAIN. My back is NICE and toasty and even though I don't feel as though I've had an orgasm, I bet it's helping with my non-existent Qi.
And so I have. During the day, I'll take a 15 minute rest on it while I meditate about cheeseburgers and before bed, I lay on it, waiting for my sleeping pills to kick in. I've yet to feel endorphins, but I'm hopeful.
A couple of days ago, after a particularly long and brutal day, I set up my mat, as always, and laid down upon it, day-dreaming about a particularly delicious cheeseburger. And like BAM, I was out. Down for the count. Fast asleep. Probably the deepest sleep I've had in years, which = rad.
….except for the part in which I'd forgotten to remove the mat from underneath my body.
Because four hours later, I woke up, my squirrel bladder tap-tap-tapping me to empty it, and realized I was still on the thing. When I sat up in bed, the mat sat up with me, clearly affixed to my back, which was now thudding a dangerous-sounding thud. I'd clearly over-circularized my blood, which is probably not even a real word. With great pain, I peeled the mat off my back, inch my inch, like the world's most painful band-aid, and put my shirt back on.
It was all I could do not to shriek like someone had suggested that my boobs would make an excellent table-lamp. I limped to the bathroom, the blood clearly dripping from my back, and examined my back. I had a perfect representation of the mat done in black and blue and red. I'd have been more impressed if I'd seen the Virgin Mary, but still, it was pretty awesome. If I'd had my wits about me, I'd have taken a snap of it just because.
One should always attempt to capture their stupidity on camera. Or so America's Funniest Home Videos tells me.
By now, most of the bruises have subsided, and the cuts have formed delightful looking scabs, so I look sorta like a recovering plague victim, which is why, from now on, I plan to keep my camera on and charged at all points in time. You can't let an opportunity like that pass you by.
And I'll continue hoping, in vain, that I'll feel those "endorphin" thingies, because obviously.
*All acupuncturists are ancient and shriveled in my mind.
—————What was the dumbest thing YOU'VE done lately, Pranksters?
Dear Christopher Ashton Kutcher,
Did you know, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, that your name is not spelled "C-R-O-T-C-H," but Christopher Ashton Kutcher? I do now. Wikipedia told me so, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, and we all know that Wikipedia NEVER lies. When I Googled "Crotch," Christopher Ashton Kutcher, the Wikipedia entry showed two pictures – one of you and one of me. THAT is how I know that Wikipedia – and the Internets – never lie, Christopher Ashton Kutcher.
UNLIKE YOU, Christopher Ashton Kutcher.
Anyway, I'm not here to discuss your name, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, although I do find it odd that you'd not go by your full name – Christopher is a FAR less douchey name than "Ashton," which just makes me think of THAT GUY, you know, Christopher Ashton Kutcher? THAT GUY is who you've played in every movie, every television show. In fact, I couldn't watch That 70's Show without evoking night terrors because we all know THAT GUY, and *shudders* and you Christopher Ashton Kutcher, play him to a "t."
(whatever "to a t" means)
Now, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, I was willing to cut you a break on playing THAT GUY because we got married around the same time and I thought it was pretty rad, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, that you'd married an older foxy lady. Demi Moore – she's quite the catch.
So I knew we'd gotten married around the same time, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, because I remember going to see a movie with my new husband, back when saying, "husband" was a total novelty because OMG I'm A MARRIED LADY. BEFORE the previews, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, I recall that there were commercials and shit, which dismayed me, because then I had to wait through 47 minutes of commercials + previews to watch the movie. But in those commercials, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, and you told me about a camera. A camera so fool-proof, even my dumb ass could use it. I mean, you even showed a BABY taking a picture.
If a BABY could do it, I could, too, Christopher Ashton Kutcher.
I mean, photography is sorta in my blood, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, and I figured you weren't lying to me about my newly acquired Nikon D50. See, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, with my father, grandfather, and brother all fighting over the light to get the angle justright for every fucking family picture, I'd sorta thought that I'd be blessed with the photog gene. Like osmosis and shit. Okay, so it has nothing to do with excrement, but you know what I mean, Christopher Ashton Kutcher.
Turns out, for all the fancy doodads and whirlygigs on my new camera, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, I was still a shitty photog. Sure, I LOOKED radder when I was walking around with the camera, but I could pick up a smoking habit and look just as cool.
But then I had a baby of my own – not like the one in the commercial who was a fake baby – Christopher Ashton Kutcher, and I was all, I BET IF I TOOK MORE PICTURES OF HIM, I'D BE AN AWESOME PHOTOG, JUST LIKE MY DAD.
I clicked and whirred and adjusted buttons, always screaming about "the LIGHT HAS TO BE RIGHT," even though the only beings nearby were a baby and a cat. I just wanted to "get in character," and my character was "photog genius," naturally, Christopher Ashton Kutcher.
THIS IS NOT THE WORK OF A PHOTOG GENIUS, Christopher Ashton Kutcher!
It was then that I realized how you'd lied to me, Christopher Ashton Kutcher. Not only were my pictures atrocious, but no one seemed to care if I screamed about the light or bought a fancy-pants camera bag. You know why, Christopher Ashton Kutcher? It's because you can put lipstick on a pig but don't just BECOME rad at photography.
My inability to be a photog was made worse by becoming a blogger, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, (blogging, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, is just a fancy way of saying, "I write drivel on the Internets."). Apparently when one becomes a blogger, they should also be a fabulous photog and take pictures of their perfect families doing perfect things, while I take pictures of my kid's boogers.
WHO WANTS TO SEE UP MY BABY'S NOSE? Answer: NO ONE. See, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, the kid is not even flicking me off, which would've made the snap eminently more tolerable and handily proved maternity.
So, Christopher Ashton Kutcher, while I appreciate your role in such cinematic masterpieces as "Dude, Where's My Car?" and that show about pranking rich people, I'm never going to believe you again, even if you DO tell me that next point-and-shoot is going to be life-altering. BECAUSE IT WON'T. PROBABLY. AT LEAST, I THINK IT WON'T.
Forever Yours PROBABLY ONCE I FORGIVE YOU,
Aunt Becky
The morning of my eighth birthday, I woke up to the sounds of my tone-deaf brother's singing. See, when I was a kid, my brother's favorite game was to wake me up as obnoxiously as possible, which meant that that day, I awoke to the lilting strains of "Rise and Shine and Bring Out The Glory-Glory," accompanied by two pots being banged together for the rhythm section.
"Getthefuckouttahere,*" I mumbled, my mouth still full of pillow.
"OH NO!" he exclaimed. "It's YOUR BIRTHDAY! You don't GET to sleep in lazybones!" He then launched into a a-Capella version of "Lazybones" accompanied by one of our dogs howling.
I paddled my way downstairs in my footie pajamas and threw myself on the couch with the funny pages from the Trib.
"Happy Birthday, Rebecca!" my dad boomed cheerfully as he read the sports section of the paper.
"Thanks," I mumbled, my head still full of The Sleeps and dreams of reinventing the Babysitter's Club books so that the characters were all mutant zombies that looked a lot like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"How do you feel?" He boomed loudly, always trying to annoy me with his loud-ass voice first thing in the morning, when all I'd wanted was five minutes of peace to wipe The Sleeps off my face.
"Uh, okay." I replied, wishing he'd shutthefuckup already.
Knowing he was annoying me, he kept going, "How does it feel to be EIGHT years old? Do you feel any different?"
Finally I put down the funny pages, which had been obscuring my view of my father, in the vain hope that he'd forget I was there and assume that one of the house plants was reading the comics. I let the question bop around in my brain awhile.
Did I feel different? Was I supposed to? Was there some climactic event that happened on one particular day that I should be aware of? What was different about today as opposed to yesterday? I mean, I guess I'm older, but that's not really much of a deal. Over and over I mulled the question – did I feel different?
At last, I replied with the only answer that seemed appropriate. "Well, I only have one more birthday until I'm in the double digits."
He laughed before handing me a present to open – more Sea Monkeys for me to experiment upon.
And I went about my day, not feeling even one stinking inch older.
That's, I think, what bugs me about New Years so much. Not only is the age bracket for having fun between 15-23 (the ages in which puking bar pretzels out your nose is considered "quality entertainment"), but it's this big pivot point for most of the people I know. This year, I'm going to lose X amount of pounds, or quit smoking, or breastfeed llamas in the Swiss Alps. The resolutions range from the sublime to the absurd.
Take for example, last year's resolution for me: "DO NOT BECOME LIL WAYNE." Perhaps this year, I should aim to "BECOME LIL WAYNE," just to be contrary.
I woke up yesterday feeling exactly the same as the night before, with the exception of my eyes – the sun was being too loud for them. I'd gone to sleep after drinking wee champagne bottles with my friend Paul, who was visiting from one of those states that starts with a vowel. Ohio? Iowa? Kansas City? I didn't know.
I'd watched both The Facebook and The Twitter exclaiming how they were "so happy 2012 was done" and "2013 was going to be OUR YEAR."
Since I've been using "this is going to be our year!" every year since I was a wee tot to describe my beloved Cubbies, who haven't won the world series in 104 years (if Jimmy Wales is to be believed), so when I see it applied to the new year, I'm always baffled. If the Cubs can't break a losing streak for 104 years, how the nuts are we supposed to believe that this year will be any different?
I'm not even wearing my pessimistic pants today – I'm just not sure that the changing of the calendar will do anything to make us different and/or better people. I woke up today in the same shape I woke up yesterday and the same shape I'll wake up again tomorrow. Life goes on. The calendar changes. We keep on keepin' on because that's what we do.
Only thing different is that I'm going to have to stop signing checks 2008.
And come up with another absurd resolution, natch.
*As my brother was ten years my senior, my parents allowed me to swear in the house after I'd complained bitterly that he could swear but I could not.
Do you make resolutions, Pranskters? If so, what are they?

To be honest i wont be that saddened if we lose.
But i think Fergie will put out a strong team,as there are not many seasons when you can win 5 trophys.
Also spurs have to play boro a couple of days after the final and that is a big match for spurs at this moment,so harry maybe thinking about thatregarding his team selection
Well my money's on Spurs, united. They're having the kind of season which cries out for a top performance and this could be the one.
Plus the fact you don't know who Ferguson will have in there and you've got a lot going on. Spurs will be going for it.

Essex, I have a proposal: is it too late to tell them you're in a wheelchair? How about I paint myself silver, saw off my legs at the knees and put the stubs into wheels; I'll be your chair and then we both get to go!

I have a website for a client here
The owner wants the ability to upload a photo, lets say straight from the camera at 1024x768. She wants the photo automatically resized to something like 800x600, and a thumbnail of 500 pixels wide generated. The thumbnail will link to the larger image with a popup, something like Lightbox.
PhotoQ does pretty much exactly what I want, but there is no ability to type anything underneath the photo within the post body or the excerpt. I have tried this, and every time I save the post, the text I type disappears! I can't use the photo description because she wants the ability to type multiple lines of text under the photo.
Is there a plugin that will do what I need? She does not know html and so does not want to be required to manually insert links.
Thank you so much!

We're a little bitter that we should be thinking about sandals and open-toe shoes at this point, and we're writing about boots… but mother nature has her own plans. Thus, we're bringing you a little tip on how to tuck your jeans into boots (especially the non-skinny kind), thank to She Knows.com. Check it out, and be sure to let us know what other denim perils you are facing this week.
"First, you'll want to find a pair of boots that hit right below your knees or a bit higher. They should also be a little loose on your legs, in order to leave room for your pants to be tucked in.
As far as jeans go, opt for a pair that has some flare. Make sure they're snug on your thighs and fitted at the knees though. Otherwise, they'll get all bunched up and baggy when you try to tuck them in, which definitely isn't a good look.
Last but not least, grab some thin, high socks (or trouser socks) to slide over your pants to hold that fold in place. You'll see what we mean shortly — don't fret!" (read the full instructions at She Knows.com)

Gals, we all have our favorite pair of jeans that we wish we could wear every day (as if we don't actually do that… once in a while…*cough cough*). They show all the right curves, hide all the right flaws, and feel amazing even when we're having a bad day. In celebration of those perfect fitting dream-jeans, we've put together two outfits around a pair of our favorite skinny jeans. One leands towards the flirty date night variety, while the other is a bit more rock'n'roll. Adapt this to your own to give them a stylish new lease on life.

The thing that sets the most stylish people apart from the rest is not that they have access to some exclusive, unique source of clothing no one else does. It's that they take the same products everyone else buys and they make it their own. With jeans, this is especially versatile, from distressing to cuffing and beyond.
Image via Nasty Gal blog.
Below are a few ways you can make your jeans your own this fall.
1. DIY distress your jeans. Grab a pair of scissors, some sand paper, and go to town on your favorite jeans to create a look that's vintage and chic. Check out our post on distressing denim for more ideas.
2. Mix and match denim with your favorite statement accessories, like killer shoes or a bold metallic clutch. Hint: Done correctly, this makes a pair of jeans acceptable in the night life realm.
3. Cuff them up. Whether you prefer a wide thick cuff or a skinny rolled cuff, when you adjust hemlines, the game changes. The a-symmetrical cuffing job above is a tomboyish statement we love (especially when worn with heels). Check out our video on three ways to cuff jeans, below.
Need your jeans dyed, tailored, or cut into the perfect pair of cut-off shorts? (We wear ours all year 'round with a pair of tights!) Send them in to Denim Therapy and we'll work magic with out expert repair and customization services.

8 is the magic number! This is one tip we stand by with both feet firmly planted, but Lucky Mag is here to reinforce it why we have to be careful how many inches should be accounted for in the rise of your waistband:
"Don't go too low: Steer clear of jeans with anything less than an eight-inch rise, especially if you don't have six-pack abs. (The rise, by the way, is the distance from the crotch to the top of the waistband.) If the top button is any lower than three inches below your navel, even the slightest post-lunch tummy pooch can look like a full-fledged muffin top, and who wants that? Well, someone, probably."
…Well, even if someone does want that, we don't want that for you. Heed the 8″ rule! And remember, high-rise doesn't mean high-waisted, to the belly-button. See three of our favorite picks for high-rise jeans below.

Nimbus-2 Medium-Resolution Infrared Radiometer (MRIR) Imagery of the Earth and Atmosphere at Daytime on 4 x 5 inch Film Sheets (MRIRN2IM) at GES DISCEntry ID: GES_DISC_MRIRN2IM_V001
Abstract: The MRIRN2IM data product consists of 4 x 5 inch photographic film sheets from the Nimbus-2 Medium Resolution Infrared Radiometer. Each film sheet contains an entire orbit (daylight portion) of data measured at five wavelength bands: 6.4-6.9, 10-11, 14-16, 5-30, and 0.2-4.0 micrometers. There are also associated latitude grids, time, and gray scales representing different temperatures. The images ... are saved as JPEG 2000 digital files. About 3 weeks of images are archived into a TAR file. The processing techniques used to produce the data set and a full description of the data set are contained in section 4.3.4 of the "Nimbus II Users' Guide."
The Nimbus 2 Medium-Resolution Infrared Radiometer (MRIR) experiment measured the intensity and distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted by and reflected from the earth and its atmosphere in five selected wavelength intervals from 0.2 to 30 micrometers. Data for heat balance of the earth-atmosphere system were obtained, as well as measurements of water vapor distribution, surface or near-surface temperatures, and seasonal changes of stratospheric temperature distribution. The MRIR experiment was successful, and good data were obtained from launch on May 15 1966 until the recorder failed on July 29, 1966.
Purpose: These images can be used to supplement the radiance data files from the MRIRN2L2 data product.
