boycotting the movie The Golden Compass

CLICK ON LINK ABOVE TO SIGN ON BOYCOTTING THIS FILM

To: New Line CinemaAttn: Robert Shaye & Michael Lynne, co-chairmen and CEOThis petition is also being distributed to all major retail video distributors.The undersigned are boycotting the movie The Golden Compass.THE GOLDEN COMPASS, a new movie targeted at children, will be released December 7, 2007. This movie is based on the first book of a trilogy by atheist Philip Pullman. In the final book a boy and girl kill God so they can do as they please. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a 2003 interview that "My books are about killing God." The movie is a watered-down version of the first book and is designed to be very attractive in the hope unsuspecting parents will take their children to see the movie -and that the children will want the books for Christmas.The movie has a well known cast, including Nicole Kidman, Kevin Bacon, and Sam Elliott. It will probably be advertised extensively, so it is crucial that we get the word out to warn parents to avoid this movie.

Regarding The Golden Compass

THIS IS A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM DR. BRYAN CUTSHALL Yesterday, I was handed a children's book by a staff member who said, "I think you need to see this." The book is published by Scholastic and is part of a collection of books. The book I was given is called The Golden Compass. This children's book is one of the most alarming things I have ever read. What makes it worse is that a movie based on the book premieres in December. Both the book and the movie introduce atheism to children. The story ends with Adam and Eve killing God. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT WE MUST PROTEST AND OPPOSE AS CHRISTIANS. Please educate yourself on this by checking out the links I have provided below and help me spread the word. Do not remain silent on this issue. This is a time for the family of GOD to stand together.

The Golden Compass A movie to avoid We need to get the word out about this movie - it is coming out in December - an atheist produced it,it is marketed for children and in the end they kill God. Send this to everyone you know. http://snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp

Well, the way I see it....people can make what they want and do what they want, but I will not take any child to see it...:(

Childrens Sleepwear

This is a great Question..that was asked..where can I get Flame Retardant fabric???

Most Moms and Designers had different answers!!

The answer was in most Fabric stores but this is what they had to say about it!!

Most did not want Flame Retardant fabric..due to the chemicals that are used, that can be harmful to our kids.

The other main factor on Flame Retardant is that it melts and can not be stopped with the "Stop-Drop & Roll", that we teach our kids.

Cotton on the other hand is very flammable!

The best part on Cotton is your kids can "Stop-Drop & Roll".

The one thing I know is, I would sleep better knowing my child knows "Stop-Drop & Roll" and has a better chance at less burns ( with Cotton)!!

What are your thoughts on this!!!!!

New SUPERBUG...Not New...

Most MRSA infections begin with a cut or a bruise!!

MRSA is the kind of germ doctors have worried about for years: some call it a "superbug," a germ the usual antibiotics won't kill.
Worse, it can cause trouble quickly. What starts as a skin infection can become a deadly pneumonia or blood or bone infection in a matter of days if not treated correctly.
Delicate Choices
Up until recently, doctors hadn't seen MRSA in healthy young people outside the hospital, said Dr. Robert Daum of University of Chicago Hospitals. "MRSA is a denizen of the hospital," he said. "It lives here."

But now, 65 percent of the staphylococcus infections coming into his emergency room in otherwise healthy kids are MRSA, he said. To him, that rate of growth is alarmingly fast -- a cause for concern.
MRSA is resistant to anywhere from 15 to 30 different antibiotics. That means when it's detected, a doctor has only a very small number of compounds at hand that are able to kill it.

Daum's biggest concern is that as MRSA continues to evolve, it will become resistant to even more antibiotics.
"Bacteria are unlike us humans. We have a generation time of about 25 years. They have a generation time of 20 minutes," he said. "They can adapt pretty fast."
Daum said he is seeing a strain in the Midwest that is so severe, it has caused deaths even when the right antibiotic is used.

Staying Germ-Free
This week, Courson and his fellow athletic trainers held a workshop to discuss ways to keep their own locker rooms as germ-free as possible. Some of their recommendations:
Don't share towels or wipe your face with a towel you use on equipment.
Don't ignore skin infections that won't heal.
Shower after a workout.
Use liquid soap, not bars.
Wash your hands -- well. To kill germs you must wash under nails and rub thoroughly for 20-30 seconds

eBay Shuts Trust & Safety Board after Credit Card Numbers Exposed By Ina Steiner AuctionBytes.com September 25, 2007

eBay shut down an entire discussion board devoted to Trust & Safety issues after someone began posting confidential user information. Someone using multiple User IDs began listing information purported to be eBay users' private and financial data on the Trust & Safety discussion board. Mark, a user who says he posts regularly on the board, said he noticed the problem at 8:50 am Eastern on Tuesday and called his eBay representative about 20 minutes later after he saw the posts remained. He said it took about an hour for the posts to be removed, and minutes later, the entire board was taken down.
The person posted using several IDs that look like they had been hijacked from legitimate users. The subject line of each thread began with the letters "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" followed by six numbers.
Mark said regular users who were posting on the board while the incident was taking place suspected that eBay may have been hacked, and he said some believed it was a scammer named Vladuz that has tormented eBay in the past. eBay has denied that Vladuz has ever hacked into its system (http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y07/m02/i22/s03).

AuctionBytes was able to view the forum and several posts before they were removed. While most data looked like it could have been obtained through phishing campaigns, the posts also included fields labeled "Id verified" and "Store" along with a time-date stamp of the user registration. The accuracy of the information has not been verified by AuctionBytes.

Update 9/25/07 3:20 pm Eastern: eBay spokesperson Nichola Sharpe said Tuesday afternoon that posts made on the Trust & Safety board early this morning contained name and contact information for 1,200 eBay members and called the person posting the information a "malicious fraudster." She said the incident was not the result of a security breach from eBay and could have been obtained as part of an account takeover.
Sharpe said the credit card information contained in the posts were not associated with financial information on file for those users at eBay or PayPal. The company is in the process of proactively contacting members by phone, "so that if the information is valid somehow - regardless how this fraudster acquired the information - these members can take the steps they need to take to protect themselves."

eBay has temporarily blocked community access to the Trust and Safety discussion forum, Sharpe said, and informed the community of the incident via the eBay Chatter blog (http://www.ebaychatter.com/the_chatter/2007/09/trust-safety-fo.html).
"Our Trust and Safety team is continuing to closely monitor this situation," Sharpe said.
Meanwhile, users are spooked by the posts and some are critical of eBay's response. A YouTube member going by the name of "cappnonymous" posted a video showing the eBay Trust & Safety board posts, titling the submission, "ebaY Major Hack AttacK! User's Data Posted On Ebay T&S Bd" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q9m2iFsz9M).

Fall 2007 Winter 2008 Key Colour Trends

The key new fashion colours for Autumn Winter 2007/8 are as usual darker tones than the summer palette. This winter the strawberry ice of summer has gained strength to become the red colour called chilli pepper. Purple, also a summer hue, is now a key colour in the Autumn Winter 2007/8 fashion colour palette.

According to Pantone the colour specialist, their main colour trends for fashion in autumn 2007 concentrates on the base colour palette of purple wine, cashmere rose, lemon curry, green moss, a soft violet blue, a blue grey green, a deep turquoise, chilli pepper red, burnt ochre and an espresso brown.

The Bold Brights
Jewel colours make up the bulk of the bold brights - orange, coral, pink, red, emerald green, rose amethyst and purple.

Golden Days
For Autumn Winter 2007/8 golden liquid lame disco diva dresses glimmer and dazzle especially suiting the young.

Black on Black

Black texture on texture, matte against shiny, against dull, against shimmering.

Orange Glow

Note the yellow tones moving for instance toward olive, moss and cardamom as in the Miss Selfridge dress above. Gold also moves from palest gold, richer deeper 24k gold, through into rose gold, copper and ginger effects.

Shimmer is everywhere. Watch out for metallic copper effects on leather jackets and evening fabrics.

Monochrome Options

Black with white optical effects give many options. This summer saw lots of black and white spot variations, now for autumn 2007 notice how this current trend plays well to plaids and checks. This fashion trend for black and white has been a fashion love affair for years. Last autumn 2006, black and white looks favoured dog and houndstooth checks. This winter check out the alternative bold black and white tablecloth plaids.

Neutrals

Grey, silver, anthracite and charcoal make for grey knitwear, military tailoring, masculine trouser looks and slinky silver satin glamour.
It's not just silver grey and gunmetal grey garments that act as basic neutrals. Look out for cream and coffee cream clothes with texture on texture.

Bold Blues
This year the blue hues have taken off. In particular manufacturers have worked on springs electric blues. Royal blue is used for parkas and jackets. There are strong bold blues in the stores now as well as many greyed blues.

Jolts of Red

So near to burnt umber earth tones, terracotta and orange you will find coral tones merge with richer muddy reds. Jolts of red can add instant impact to dull outfits.
Rich red is a great colour choice for an evening dress.

How to make Pussy Cat Ears

All you need are these simple things

You Need:
Plastic Headband
Ears Pattern
Animal Print Foam
Black Craft Foam
Five Brass Fasteners
Wire Cutters
Scissors
Low Temp Glue Gun
Black Permanent Marker
Instructions:
Cut a piece of black foam to 2-1/2" x 12". Center it on the top of the plastic head band. Glue the foam in place using a low temp glue gun. Taper the foam along both edges to 3/8" an inch. Begin at the middle of one side and foam the foam over the edge of the head band and glue in place. Continue by doing the other half of the same side. Repeat for the other side.
Use wire cutters to snip the prongs of the brass fasteners. Bend the remaining prong pieces down. Glue fastener heads to the top of the foam covered head band beginning in the center and spacing 3/4" apart.
Print Ears Pattern. Staple to animal print foam all around the outsides of the ears. Cut out all four ears. Use a black marker to color in the white edges of the ears. Glue pieces back to back so you will have two ears with animal print on both sides. Glue ears to head band.

Fashion is bad for your health??????

Well this can be funny to most and to other not, but had to share...

Jeans: To me and most jeans don't quite look perfect until you have squeezed (baggy jeans just aren't cute) into them then properly broken them in. Well even the tiniest hips can suffer from tight fitting jeans as they could cause nerve damage. A Canadian doctor has found that pressure around the waistband of hipsters can pinch a nerve under the hipbone and cause a condition called meralgia paresthetica.

Thongs/ Panties: VPL is gross, so we opt for things that crawl up our backside like thongs and g-strings. But Dr. Thomas Gent from the Association of Gynecologists believes friction damage from the underwear's string section can aid the spread of bacteria and cause fungal infections (nasty).

Bras: For a big night on the town we all want to show a little cleavage. But did you know that push-up bras can cause you some problems? The squeezing is said to cause difficulty breathing which in extreme case can cause irritable bowel syndrome and constipation (ewwww).

Handbags: An oversized tote may dwarf your figure, but that heavy handbag can also cause neck strain, and shoulder tendonitis.

Sunglasses: Now what could be wrong with these? Scratched glasses can cause non UV-absorbing spots on the glasses which can cause more damage than not wearing glasses at all, which can score you cataracts as you age.

Shoes: I saved the most obvious for last. Too high or uncomfortable shoes can cause bunions, corns, calluses, and hammertoes. They can also cause stress to the rest of your body in the form on knee, hip, and spine pain. Ouch.

Barney's makes recycling Cool

Between August 6th and August 19th you can bring in your old jeans and trade them in for 20% off any of the following brands at Barney's: 7 for All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, J Brand, James Jeans, Helmut Lang, Loomstate, Rogan, and many more.

Mattel Recall of Chinese Toys Will Cost $30 Million

Aug. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Mattel Inc., the world's largest toymaker, said a recall of 1.5 million Chinese-made products will reduce second-quarter operating income by almost 50 percent and that it will review the production methods of all its contractors in China.
The recall of toys, including Sesame Street dolls, that may contain excessive lead levels will cut $30 million from Mattel's previously reported operating income of $63.5 million. The company didn't say what the impact on net income would be.
The lead discovery might force Mattel to find new sources of low-cost goods and may further damage China's reputation as an exporter, following a recall of ``Thomas & Friends'' toys, a U.S. ban on Chinese toothpaste and scandals involving tainted cooking oil and diseased pork.
``Mattel has for many years been a leader in product safety,'' said Sean McGowan, an analyst at Wedbush Morgan Securities in New York. ``This serves as a reminder that even the most diligent companies are vulnerable to the materials that get supplied to their factories.''

Mattel stopped production and shipping of the affected toys and began an investigation around July 7, Walter said in an interview. Two-thirds of the affected toys never hit store shelves, according to company spokeswoman Lisa Marie Bongiovanni.

(Consumers wishing more information about the recall should contact Fisher-Price at +1-800-916-4498.)
