Not too reassuring, is it? The "Not in My Cart" website from the Consumer's Union posts the most recent recalls of products as well as asking you to encourage your lawmakers in Congress to pass laws that protect your safety and the safety of your loved ones.<br /><br />From the website:<br /><br /><blockquote>Bright toys coated with lead paint, savory fish with illegal chemicals, toothpaste with a poison used in antifreeze--the recent wave of recalls reminds us that ordinary things we use every day may not be safe. Consumers Union created NotInMyCart.org to give you a place to check for recent product recalls and take action to make all products safer in the future. The U.S. market is now flooded with imported products--tens of millions of items arriving in cargo ships stacked high with containers. Recalls, after a dangerous product is found on store shelves, are important, but not enough.</blockquote>Also from their website:<br /><blockquote>Consumers Union (CU) is an expert, independent, nonprofit organization, whose mission is to work for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers. CU publishes Consumer Reports and ConsumerReports.org in addition to two newsletters, Consumer Reports on Health and Consumer Reports Money Adviser with combined subscriptions of more than 7 million. Consumers Union also has more than 500,000 online activists who help work to change legislation and the marketplace in favor of the consumer interest and several public education Web sites. Since its founding in 1936, Consumers Union has never taken any advertising or freebies of any kind. </blockquote><a href="https://secure.consumersunion.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=1879">CHECK OUT THIS WEBSITE TODAY</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524781258866532292.post-7373663164312199352008-05-16T15:39:00.000-07:002008-05-16T15:41:06.366-07:00Useful Advice for Guys Who Want to Impress Girls<center><object width="425" height="373"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yGMKgLRU-3c&hl=en&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yGMKgLRU-3c&hl=en&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="373"></embed></object></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524781258866532292.post-77068243740361580342008-05-11T21:39:00.000-07:002008-05-15T00:24:40.920-07:00Easiest Tooltip and Image Preview Using jQuery - from the CSSGlobe Blog<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">From the blog: "<em>Recently I had a project that demanded a rollover image preview.

However, when you choose any of those, it takes you to a black DOS-type screen and there is a picture of a computer and a lock and it is looking for a password that he doesn't know.

I was 17 years old when my Mom bought this house and moved us here the day after I graduated from high school. I was 100% sympathetic to her reasons for wanting to move so I didn't begrudge her the move per se, but the day after my graduation? She actually was going to yank me out of school in the middle of my senior year, moving into the new house and me into a new school after a lifetime of me forming friendships with the same kids at the same schools, all of us growing up together, and I was supposed to dump all that to start over at a new school in the middle of my senior year?<br /><br />Not going to happen. No way. So the day after graduation was the compromise. And here we are and now I am fifty-seven years old and now my Mom is bedridden, on oxygen, on a tube feeding, and I am her sole caregiver.<br /><br />We've had folks in and out of here, including my younger brother when he was still alive and my sister and her new husband early on in their marriage (their daughter is now in her 30's and her son is a teenager in high school).<br /><br />We had an extended Mexican family living here for a year and a half. At one count, we had fourteen Mexicans living here and they were a G-d sent miracle because the lessons on living we learned from them forever altered the course of our lives and have probably saved our lives more than once since then.<br /><br />Then there was the nasty El Niño wind and rain monsoon season that ripped shingles off our roof and allowed the pounding rain to collapse our ceilings all along one side of our house - dining room, living room, and two bedrooms. Big chunks of ceiling missing, carpeting and furniture ruined.<br /><br />Hey, at least we could enjoy the rain from <em>inside</em> our house. That was different.<br /><br />So... our Mexican family got up on our house and installed a new roof on that half of the house. And everything's been fine for a few years.<br /><br />Now, the front half of the roof is going. We're in trouble.<br /><br />I think we must have the last wood shake roof in existence in Southern California. They are against the law now because of the danger from brush fires and we do live most extremely close to the Malibu hills.<br /><br />The front of our house looks like a shanty from the wrong side of the tracks because the roof is so old, so dried out, missing shingles, and it's just plain ugly anymore. It makes me feel bad every time I have to see it.<br /><br />Nobody should have to feel that way about their own home. But, that is the way I feel. If the neighbors only knew that I want to see a new roof up there even more than they do, maybe they wouldn't hate me so much.<br /><br />I am poor. I am disabled. Even if I didn't have to be here inside the house 24/7 to take care of my Mother, I am not able to work. And Social Security Disability is not enough money to pay for a new roof.<br /><br />So, here we sit. Meanwhile, I can dream, can't I? I can pretend what a new roof might look like. I can dig up information on roofing and pretend somehow it's all going to mean something to us here one day.<br /><br />When I go "pack rat" on collecting data, I gather the online links together in a folder in my Favorites. And I thought they just might qualify as "useful" so here they are...<br /><br />[THE USUAL DISCLAIMER STUFF: I cannot personally recommend ANY of these links or verify any of the information contained in these links because I don't know crap about roofing. These links should be considered a mere starting point for a quest for information. That is all.]<br /><br /><div align="center"><IFRAME SRC="http://home.att.net/~i_write_books/roofing.html" TITLE="Sample IFRAME" SCROLLING="auto" NAME="sample" WIDTH="360" HEIGHT="250" ALIGN="center" FRAMEBORDER="no"><br /></IFRAME></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524781258866532292.post-5566537695568941052008-03-12T09:42:00.000-07:002008-03-12T09:47:02.685-07:00Vehicle Ratings - Top Safety Picks from IIHS<a href="http://www.iihs.org/ratings/default.aspx"><strong>The Institute rates vehicles</strong> </a>good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance in high-speed front and side crash tests plus evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. The first requirement for a vehicle to become a Top Safety Pick is to earn good ratings in all three Institute tests. Another requirement is that winning vehicles must offer electronic stability control. This requirement is based on Institute research indicating that ESC significantly reduces crash risk, especially the risk of fatal single-vehicle crashes, by helping drivers maintain control of their vehicles during emergency maneuvers.<br /><br />AND THE WINNERS ARE:<br /><br /><strong>Large cars</strong><br /><a href="http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=275"><span
