Today is day 6 of TEEN WEEK 2013 and we are tackling the subject of your boobs, your bra and what is considered 'business' dress. Right now-your business is going to school and possibly interviewing and working.
There are a few parts to this post and each one is important: 1) when is cleavage appropriate 2)how to get fitted for a bra 3) the free giveaway 4)time to rock! Let's get started:
In Phoenix Arizona I have served several years as a judge for the high school DECA competitions. I love to hear the business and marketing plans the teens have created. I am also stunned by how many young girls walk into a state level competition wearing low cut blouses, with push up bras and boobs wagging.
Forget the short hemline-myself and the male judges turn our heads to avoid seeing the competitor's breasts. This is not one girl I'm talking about-it's many. How am I suppose to see and hear her work when her skimpy attire is screaming? My heart breaks at the thought that no one took the time to teach this girl my motto :
"you never get a second chance to make a first impression-so make the first count!"
Here is a photo of what is considered good for work, business, interviews and meeting a moment with respect intact! The second photo is what not to wear!
Appropriate dress for interviews, work and in some cases school,
Not appropriate ever-in any situation!
Now, let's talk about starting to wear a bra, needing to find the right fit (you should get fitted yearly!) and which bra is right for you. Below is some information I got from the website "First Bra for Teens"-and it's really worth a click over to read the article in it's entirety and see the photo samples of bras available.
Find Out Your Bra Size
choosing your first bra, make sure that you know your correct size.
Frequent bra fittings are important during your teen years, when your
body is growing, especially if your bra starts fitting in a weird or
painful way.
might feel shy about your growing breasts and not want other people
talking about them, looking at them, and measuring them. But it's wise
to get measured so to find out your correct bra size.
can get a professional fitter at a store to help you, or you can do it
yourself at home. Keep in mind, the measurement you come up with is a
just rough idea. Every body is a little different, so you'll need to try
on lots of bras to find the perfect fit for you.
- Step
1: Run a soft tape measure at the narrowest point just under your
breasts, all the way around your back and rib cage. The tape measure
should rest flat on your skin and lie straight across your back – not so
tight that it digs in, but not so loose that it sags down in back.Make a note of this measurement. (Round up if the number is uneven.) That's your band size.
- Step
2: To measure cup size, take the tape measure around your body across
the fullest part of your breasts. Write this number down and subtract
your band size measurement from it. The difference between the numbers
will tell you your cup size. If the difference between the two numbers
is less than 1 inch, your cup size is AA. If the difference is 1 inch,
your cup size is A; 2 inches, you're a B; 3 inches you're a C, and so
the number and letter together, and that's your bra size range. For
example, if your cup measurement was 33 and your chest measurement was
32, that's a 1-inch difference. Your bra size will be 32A or close to
in mind, most bras have adjustable hooks and eyes, so you can adjust
the tightness. A new bra should fasten on the loosest set of hooks so
that you can adjust it as a bra stretches out or as you grow and
with you in mind. We also have helpful, friendly customer service reps
who can help you fit yourself from over the phone at 1.866.352.4494.
- Step 3: Be sure to try on lots and lots of different bras, in different styles and variations of sizes. Sister sizes
are equivalent sizes with either larger or smaller cups/bands. It's
great to try a sister size if a bra fits pretty well but is maybe a
little bit off. For example, if you're trying a 34C and it's a little
bit too big in the band, you can try a 32D, one of the sister sizes.
This is a good guideline to find the exact right fit!

I have this situation that I'd need a piece of advise for:
trying to scroll a layout to initial position ( to the top left corner of it ) every time the layout is started. For this, I use:
while the size of the Window is 1024x748.
But this seems not to have any effect. The layout is started scrolled to a weird position ( not even the last one before layout restart ). However, on output to the console, the values of System.scrollx and System.scrolly are being reported correctly.
Don't know if it is important or not: I have several layers in this layout, and some of them have the parallax set to 0,0 and others to 100,100.
Any thoughts?

text: The waste waters involved in the industrial processing are collected into a pit and are conveyed to the decanter by a suitable pump, which works automatically through level probes. In the flocculant station a solution of water and flocculant is prepared, and is subsequently injected into the pipe feeding the decanter. The flocculant acts on the solid particles increasing their settling speed. Once the waste water has entered into the decanter, the clean water rises towards the top of the silo and overflows into the clean water collection tank, from which it can be sent back to the machines. The mud accumulates at the bottom of the decanter and is extracted by a pneumatic group, which discharges it into the homogenizing tank. The tank is equipped with an agitator for preventing the settlement of the solids. A double speed centrifugal pump takes the mud out of the tank and feeds the filterpress. The chamber-type filterpress squeezes out the residual water still retained in the mud and discharges the dry mud below its structure.

Fiber Fun in Florida
If you follow Stitches 'N' Scraps on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you already know that I was on vacation in Florida last week. We stayed on St. Pete's Beach, and enjoyed plenty of beautiful weather, white sands, gulf breezes, magnificent sunsets…and even some fiber fun!
Tuesday morning, we visited a weekly farmer's market in the nearby Gulfport neighborhood. There were a variety of vendors, including food, art, and gifts, and I picked up some really delicious rum cakes. On our way there, we stopped at a store called Fab Fiber that was just up the street.
This unassuming red house is actually a fiber lover's paradise. They have supplies and kits for just about every fiber art you can think of, including embroidery, weaving, spinning, dyeing, knitting, and crochet. The owner, Elizabeth, was there and was kind enough to show us around on a Facebook live video tour.
Wednesday morning was a little gloomy, though it did clear up later, so we decided to spend the morning at the Dali museum near downtown St Petersburg. They are currently showing a very interesting Frida Kahlo exhibit. Afterwards, we headed downtown to get some lunch. While there, I happened upon another yarn shop, called Stash, a Place for Yarn. Isn't that a nice sentiment on the signboard? It says "Beautiful things come together 1 stitch at a time."
It was a lovely little shop with a good selection of higher end yarns, and what looked like a cozy work space at the back. The owner (I think) was quietly knitting away behind the counter, and was very friendly, even though we were only there for a minute. We couldn't stay long as we were hungry and headed for lunch. I did get to look at (i.e. pet and drool over) some local, hand dyed sock yarn though.
If you're ever in St Pete, take some time to visit these local fiber stores. After all, yarn makes a great souvenir!

I'm back from vacation (for awhile) and extended Spurs coverage, so it's a good time to fire up the Big 12 blog and mull a few stories that have collected over the last several weeks.
One of the most interesting came from CBS Sports.com's Jeremy Fowler, who surveyed coaches and assistant coaches for some anonymous comments about some underrated players across the country.
Some of the most noteworthy came about TCU quarterback Casey Pachall, who is returning to the Horned Frog program this season after missing most of last year after he underwent substance abuse treatment after his arrest on DWI charges during last season.
Fowler's source has Pachall pegged for big things this season if he can stay out of trouble.
Here's the comment, comparing him to the Big 12's most notable player last season:
"Very talented, good athlete, good thrower, helluva competitor. The competitor part, he's kind of like Collin Klein, who's not fastest in the world, not a great thrower, but a helluva competitor. Loves to play. Pachall is similar…If he's truly out of the doghouse, he's as good as anybody in our conference."
Former MacArthur standout Jace Amaro of Texas Tech also had some glowing comments in Fowler's story. Amaro snagged 25 receptions for 409 yards last season before missing the second half of the season with a spleen injury.
"He's a big guy, and they flexed him out," the unnamed coach said. "His numbers don't look that good, but we thought the world of him."
Iowa State running back Jeff Woody, Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell and West Virginia wide receiver Kevin White also received strong endorsements.
Here are the comments about those players:
On Woody: "He didn't play for them much. We thought he was a load. Not sure why he didn't play more. I'm not sure if he's in the doghouse or injured. Not really sure there. Good running back, though."
On White: "I think he can be a star for them."
On Bell: "I think he can spin it pretty good, too."
Football season can't come quick enough, can it?

Court records show that the 31-year-old Miller had the charge dismissed at a hearing Wednesday.
Miller was found nude in a church three months ago by a pastor who called authorities when he found books and CDs that were strewn about and missing boards from a previously broken window.
Orange County prosecutors said Miller was accused of breaking at least one picture frame, spray-painting inside the church and damaging a propane tank and other items.

Tom Cruise, Scientology, and Holocaust Revisionism
Tom Cruise is asking for your Valkyrie movie ticket dollars, but spends his money to fund a cult with a similar attitude towards lesser races and global domination. Should the actor be separated from his actions? As a producer of the movie, he earns money from every ticket. Should you care where that money is going?
With not one but three WWII movies out this fall, Jewish moviegoers will be lining up to see at least one of them. Will it be the sophisticated Ralph Fiennes movie The Reader? Or the story of Jewish partisans who founded a resistance in the woods in Defiance? Or the story of the failed assassination attempt on Hitler starring that nice young man who danced in his underwear for us in Risky Business and did impossible things in Mission Impossible?
Valkyrie is getting by far the most press and promotion after being moved up to a December 25th opening to qualify for a 2008 Academy Award in a particularly weak Academy year. Not all of the press has been good for this historical drama with a lead star unable to replicate a German accent for his German role, but a more sinister element has plagued this movie since its inception, when Tom Cruise was cast as Claus von Stauffenberg, a Nazi who attempted to kill Hitler with a briefcase bomb in 1944.
German politicians and the Stauffenberg family immediately objected to Cruise's casting in the film. Scientology, which Cruise adheres to and actively promotes (and he is also very close to its head, David Miscavige), is considered a dangerous, totalitarian cult in Germany, which has strict laws about the promotion of any such cults. Scientology texts are banned in schools; Scientologists must send their children to Danish schools across the border. The German government went so far as to ban the use of historical sites related to the actual events of 1944 for filming the movie because of Cruise's involvement, though repeated attempts by United Artists eventually got the motions overturned. Berthold von Stauffenberg, the son of Cruise's character, said in a public statement, "Cruise should keep his hands off my father." Thomas Gandow, a spokesperson for the German Protestant Church, said Cruise's involvement in the film would "have the same propaganda advantages for Scientology as the 1936 Olympics had for the Nazis" and compared the actor to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
Goebbels is a name Cruise has invoked several times in reference to one of his own enemies: psychiatrists. Scientologists believe, according to the writings of founder L. Ron Hubbard (who died with a psychiatric drug in his system), that Hitler used a secret cabal of psychiatrists to develop his eugenics program to eliminate European Jewry and other undiserables. The modern institution of psychiatry was created by Jews who learned their practices from their experiences in the Death Camps. In Los Angeles the Scientologists have a permanent exhibit and an additional one that travels around the world called "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death," which uses footage from concentration camps to back its claim that psychiatry is not only an unsafe medical practice but a secret society of death cultists. Actual church texts, barred from public display but now available on Wikileaks from ex-Scientologists, reveal that high-level Scientologists (such as Cruise) believe that psychiatrists have been operating for millions of years and were the ones who convinced the evil Lord Xenu (ruler of the Galactic Confederation) to execute the "lesser" alien races and implant their souls, or "thetans," into the Cro-Magnon humans 75 million years ago. To this day, every human body is occupied by a thetan, as well as clusters of pesky homeless souls known as "body thetans," which are responsible for all of our anger, fears, and illness. And only Scientology's non-medically-certified practices of vitamin supplements and counseling sessions can remove their souls from our bodies.
Cruise is not full of alien thetans, of course. He is an Operating Thetan Level VII, meaning not only has he read and come to believe all stated above, but he is no longer a normal, lesser human. He is a "Homo novis" instead of a Homo sapiens. He is a superior race, made possible by the wonders of Scientology. Other members of this superior race include John Travolta and Jenna Elfman.
Scientology has a concept called "clearing the planet," an effort all Scientologists are meant to be working towards. This means the elimination of body thetans (and thereby suffering) via the elimination of false ideas and creeds. Since all religions are a result of Lord Xenu's brainwashing of the dead alien souls (known as Event Level II in Scientology's timeline), they can be logically disproved through hours of expensive counseling at your local Scientology center and – most important – by going off any psychiatric medication you may be taking. Three people are known to have died this year by committing suicide after seeking Scientology counseling. In Israel, the TV show "Friday's Studio" this year on Scientology, describing it as "the largest cult in Israel" and investigating the death of a Scientologist who committed suicide. (A Scientology spokeswoman called the suicide "unrelated" to his recent counseling sessions with her.) A version with English subtitles is available on YouTube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7FZMxnltNA) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y55qINpK … re=related)
Before his death, L. Ron Hubbard wrote extensively about the importance of "clearing the planet" and how to go about doing so. First was to establish a world of "clears" – i.e., Scientologists who have taken enough courses to become Homo novises and spent enough money to be considered free of body thetans. "It is not necessary to produce a world of clears in order to have a reasonable and worthwhile social order; it is only necessary to delete those individuals who range from 2.0 down, either by processing them enough to get their tone level above the 2.0 line...or simply quarantining them from the society." (L. Ron Hubbard, The Science of Survival, p. 157) People who are "low on the tone scale" – which includes people who are not Scientologists – should be handled. "There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the tone scale, neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the tone scale by un-enturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow….The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the lower bands of the tone scale from the social order would result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have entered." (L. Ron Hubbard, The Science of Survival, p. 157)
Many regard Scientology as a silly alien cult, to be laughed at but generally ignored. Should it bother us that tens of thousands of active Scientologists are reading The Science of Survival and actively working towards Hubbard's goal of a "clear" planet? Should it bother us that the Church of Scientology uses celebrities like Tom Cruise to promote its self-help techniques without revealing the sinister material available only to top members?
What, then, does a modern totalitarian cult have to do with the movie Valkyrie? Why was Cruise so eager to cast himself in a Nazi role, though admittedly a Nazi who turned "good" in his last two years and became a postwar celebrated hero for Germany? Cruise is playing out his fantasy – he is the insurgent fighting the war against the Real Evil™. In the film – which your money will support (with a portion of the proceeds going to his bank account, from which he will then donate generous amounts to Scientology, as he did recently by buying them a castle in Italy to use as a Scientology retreat), he tries to destroy Hitler, whom you will recall is now established by Scientology historians to have been controlled by psychiatrists. Cruise is fighting the real enemy – a legitimate medical profession. Run by members of the Galactic Confederation.
Tom Cruise is one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, even with his anti-Semitic portrayal of a Hollywood producer (complete with gold star necklace) in Tropic Thunder. Is having his money go toward funding studies linking the Holocaust to modern medicine worth the price of your movie ticket?

Objectives: Some large population-based studies have reported a dose-related increased risk of cataracts and glaucoma associated with use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We evaluated the association between use of ICS-containing products, specifically fluticasone propionate/salmeterol fixed-dose combination (FSC), and incidence of cataracts and glaucoma among patients with COPD in a large electronic medical record database in the United Kingdom.
Methods: We identified a cohort of patients aged 45 years and over with COPD in the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) between 2003 and 2006. Cases of incident cataracts or glaucoma were defined based on diagnosis and procedure codes and matched to controls from the risk set to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The association with FSC or ICS exposure was modeled using conditional logistic regression. Medication exposure was assessed with respect to recency, duration, and number of prescriptions prior to the index date. Average daily dose was defined as none, low (1–250 mcg), medium (251–500 mcg), high (501–1000 mcg), or very high (1001+ mcg) using fluticasone propionate (FP) equivalents.
Results: We identified 2941 incident cataract cases and 327 incident glaucoma cases in the COPD cohort (n = 53,191). FSC or ICS prescriptions were not associated with risk of incident cataracts or glaucoma for any exposure category, after adjusting for confounders. We observed a lack of a dose response in all analyses, where low dose was the reference group. The odds of cataracts associated with FSC dose were medium OR: 1.1 (95% CI: 0.9–1.4); high OR: 1.2 (95% CI: 0.9–1.5); and very high OR: 1.2 (95% CI: 0.9–1.7). The odds of glaucoma associated with FSC dose: medium OR: 1.0 (95% CI: 0.5–2.1); high OR: 1.0 (95% CI: 0.5–2.0); and very high OR: 1.0 (95% CI: 0.4–2.8).
Conclusions: FSC or other ICS exposure was not associated with an increased odds of cataracts or glaucoma, nor was a dose–response relationship observed in this population-based nested case-control study of COPD patients in the United Kingdom.
Keywords: inhaled corticosteroids, fluticasone ropionate/salmeterol, cataracts, glaucoma, risk

No nuclear deal with Pakistan, says US
October 03, 2008 13:32 IST
The United States has said that it is not contemplating any deal with Pakistan similar to the India-US nuclear agreement, insisting that New Delhi's [Images] case was unique because of its past record on non-proliferation.
"At the moment, I'm not aware of a contemplation of a similar such (nuclear) deal at this time with Pakistan," State department Spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters in Washington. He disagreed with the suggestion that after cutting a special deal with India, others would seek civil nuclear cooperation.
'Unstable Pakistan extremely dangerous for the world'
"The India case, however, we believed was unique and was unique in the respect of a long history of Indian behaviour that was there for all to see," McCormack said. The spokesman replied in the negative when asked if the issue was raised by the Pakistan leadership during recent bilateral meetings.
"In the most recent meeting with the Secretary (Condolezzaa Rice), that's the only one I can personally speak of at this point, that issue did not come up. I know that the issue has come up periodically in public. I think I've had to answer questions about it before and our position is the same" he said.
Bush looking forward to sign N-deal bill
Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani [Images] on Thursday indicated that the country may seek a similar arrangement with its close ally China. "Pakistan will now make efforts for a civil nuclear deal and they (the world community) will have to accommodate us," Gilani told reporters in Multan, soon after the Indo-US nuclear deal was approved by the US Senate.

Prototyping an Operational System with Multiple Sensors for Pasture Monitoring
AbstractCombining multiple proximal sensors within a wireless sensor network (WSN) enhances our capacity to monitor vegetation, compared to using a single sensor or non-networked setup. Data from sensors with different spatial and temporal characteristics can provide complementary information. For example, point-based sensors such as multispectral sensors which monitor at high temporal frequency but, at a single point, can be complemented by array-based sensors such as digital cameras which have greater spatial resolution but may only gather data at infrequent intervals. In this article we describe the successful deployment of a prototype system for using multiple proximal sensors (multispectral sensors and digital cameras) for monitoring pastures. We show that there are many technical issues involved in such a deployment, and we share insights relevant for other researchers who may consider using WSNs for an operational deployment for pasture monitoring under often difficult environmental conditions. Although the sensors and infrastructure are important, we found that other issues arise and that an end-to-end workflow is an essential part of effectively capturing, processing and managing the data from a WSN. Our deployment highlights the importance of testing and ongoing monitoring of the entire workflow to ensure the quality of data captured. We demonstrate that the combination of different sensors enhances our ability to identify sensor problems necessary to collect accurate data for pasture monitoring. View Full-Text

Welcome to AlienVault Open Threat Exchange!
The world's first truly open threat intelligence community that enables collaborative defense with actionable, community-powered threat data
World's First Open Threat Intelligence Community
Threat sharing in the security industry remains mainly ad-hoc and informal, filled with blind spots, frustration, and pitfalls. Our vision is for companies and government agencies to gather and share relevant, timely, and accurate information about new or ongoing cyberattacks and threats as quickly as possible to avoid major breaches (or minimize the damage from an attack). The AlienVault® Open Threat Exchange® (OTX™) delivers the first truly open threat intelligence community that makes this vision a reality.
How OTX Works
AlienVault OTX provides open access to a global community of threat researchers and security professionals. It now has more than 65,000 participants in 140 countries, who contribute over 14 million threat indicators daily. It delivers community-generated threat data, enables collaborative research, and automates the process of updating your security infrastructure with threat data from any source. OTX enables anyone in the security community to actively discuss, research, validate, and share the latest threat data, trends, and techniques, strengthening your defenses while helping others do the same.
AlienVault OTX Pulse
Pulses provide you with a summary of the threat, a view into the software targeted, and the related indicators of compromise (IOC) that can be used to detect the threats.
IOCs include:
- IP addresses
- Domains
- Hostnames (subdomains)
- File Hashes: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, PEHASH, IMPHASH
- CIDR Rules
- File Paths
- MUTEX name
- CVE number
Pulses make it easy for you to answers questions like:
- Is my environment exposed to this threat?
- Is this relevant to my organization?
- Who is behind this, and what are their motives?
- What are they targeting in my environment?
Ready to Join OTX?Sign up for free
Open Access to the Threat Intelligence Community
Security research tends to be an insular process and rarely do individuals or groups share threat data with one another. This is due to lack of trust, internal policies, or simply the inability to get the information out to the masses. OTX helps to solve this problem with the ability to subscribe or follow the most trusted pulses in the community.
- Subscribe to pulses and use the DirectConnect feature to automatically update your security products.
- Follow OTX contributors and get valuable insight into their recently researched threats.
Openly Research & Collaborate on Emerging Threats
The traditional threat sharing model is a one-way communication between researchers/vendors and subscribers. There is no way for subscribers to interact with peers or threat researchers on emerging threats, as each recipient is isolated from each other. That's why we built OTX — to change the way we all create, collaborate, and consume threat data.
Take a Tour of OTX.
Integrate with AlienVault USM & Export IoCs to Any Security Product
Most threat data sharing products or services are expensive and/or overly complex. Users often find themselves buying multiple services since the traditional, isolated, approach to threat data limits their ability to export threat data from one tool to another. OTX provides several methods for your security tools to ingest pulse data, allowing you to react quickly and more efficiently to any threats.
Direct Integration with USM
Automatically instrument your built-in IDS capability within USM deployments, as well as third party security tools, with the latest actionable threat data from community-generated pulses.
Learn more ›
OTX DirectConnect API
Export IoCs automatically into your existing security tools, eliminating the need to manually add IP addresses, MD5 hashes of malware files, domain names, etc.
Export to Third Party Security Tools
Import IoCs from pulses into third party security tools.

It's been a while since I last posted anything on this blog. This past summer was eventful, and it didn't stop…. Partly because the warm, dry, summer weather spilled into autumn and now, suddenly, it's almost Thanksgiving, and it's just beginning to feel like fall is actually upon us. I live in Oregon, and we've had one of our overall hottest summers ever, with more 90+ degree days on record than any other time in recent history. Finally, as the days started getting shorter, the evening temperatures cooled down enough to relax in comfort. And yet, there are flowers still blooming ~ in November!
In my little corner of the art world, I had quite a few opportunities to paint in the heat and I placed two of my plein air paintings in the annual "Paint the Town" show which ran through the month of October at the Elsinore Fine Art Gallery, in Salem.
Simultaneously, I had several paintings in the Westminster Fine Art Festival, which lasted three days, from October 8-11. I also participated in the one and half hour "Quick Draw" painting session, which was a scholarship fund raiser for high school students planning to study art in college. The paintings were auctioned off in a silent auction after the event.
Recently, I've been commissioned to paint a triptych painting (one painting on three canvases) for a couple who just bought a new house, in nearby Silverton, Oregon. The painting is going to hang on the wall over their living room sofa which is about 10 feet long and the ceiling is quite high. So I bought a set of three canvases, each one is 30″ w. X 40″ h. and one and half inches deep (gallery wrapped). The imagery they requested is an impressionistic scene of Provence, France. So I have gathered several photos showing the French countryside, and I am creating a scene with a shady garden landscapes in the foreground, a small villa in the distance, and lavender fields in between. The size of the finish triptych will be about 9 feet long and 40 inches high once it is hung with space between the canvas surfaces. Once I have things going, I'll add some photos of the progress.
In the meantime, I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving holiday!

We're in prime pumpkin picking season, and today, Next learned something we never knew. And probably never thought about.
Denver Water put together a blog post to remind us all not to throw pumpkin guts into the toilet. The inner orange clogs the pipes.
Apparently people actually do this. Denver Water cited a blog written by a New York plumbing company, and another in Florida. Are Denver people doing it? Is this a thing on the East Coast? Are New Yorkers flushing pumpkin guts? Are people carving their pumpkins in a bathroom?
We don't have the answers to those questions. But we do have this cool video Denver Water made, called "Toilet and Steve Carve Pumpkins." As the video suggests, don't fight with your toilet. It's a waste of time and money.
To be fair, Denver Water says you also shouldn't throw them down your garbage disposal. We can understand people who do that a little more than the ones who go to the toilet.
Denver Water put together a list of helpful tips, if you decide your pumpkin guts deserve a more exciting fate than the trash can, which includes chucking them at your arch enemy. Don't blame Next if that goes poorly. Also, that's a joke. Don't do that.
We put together a list too. Pumpkin juice, anyone?

© St. Petersburg Timespublished February 20, 2003
TAMPA -- The stretch run is here. Show us something.
The ground is treacherous. The air is thin. The games matter. Show us they matter to you, too.
These are the moments you talked about, those precious, desperate nights when a season rises and falls like the beat of a heart. Show us the measure of your effort, your desire, your commitment.
This is true for those who play for the Lightning.
It also is true for those who pay for the Lightning.
When the playoffs are within reach, it is time for a team to deliver on its promise. An ownership, too. And so it is with the Lightning, a team that finally has learned to stand again.
Twenty-two games to go, and the drive toward the postseason has turned into a traffic jam. The Lightning -- the Lightning! -- is approaching the checkout aisle, bumping and shoving against the Islanders, the Canadiens, the Bruins. Every day, the canvas changes.
It is about here that it seems prudent to point this out.
Frankly, the Lightning could use a little help.
A push, maybe. A nudge. A lifeline. A tow. A life preserver. A little gas, a little guidance. Another hand, another oar.
Another player, okay?
This is what the team ownership has said all along, right? That if the Lightning found itself in the hunt, and in need of reinforcements, it wouldn't hesitate to break out the wallet.
Time after time, we have heard it. It's like listening to the chorus from Louie Louie. Every few seconds, you're going to hear, "Me gotta go now." With the Lightning, every few seconds you're going to hear the "if we find ourselves in the hunt" speech.
Guess what, guys?
The Lightning is in the hunt.
Over the next few weeks, we will learn a lot about the ownership of the Lightning and, therefore, the future. If Bill Davidson indeed ponies up for a prime defensive player, then it's a healthy sign. If a deal never materializes, however, it's going to raise questions whether things ever will get better, whether the cost of playoffs is too rich for ownership's consideration.
We are watching. The media. The fans. And, yes, the players.
Don't fool yourselves. The players are waiting and watching, too. A new player, arriving at the most crucial of times, brings with him a renewed energy. He makes a team feel stronger, more confident. He carries a message from ownership that says its resolve, its hunger, matches the team's. That it, too, will pay the price.
Around here, it's easy to be skeptical. The Lightning has protected nickels as fiercely as pucks in recent seasons. This team has won an amazing amount of games considering its $28-million payroll (if it increased that total by half, it would meet the league average).
General manager Jay Feaster will tell you that, so far, the quest for another defenseman has not been a question of ownership's willingness to spend. It's that he has not found the right deal. Simple as that.
"We'd like to make a deal," Feaster said. "Even before Jassen Cullimore was injured, I thought we needed reinforcements for the blue line. But you can't just go out to Stein Mart or Wal-Mart or Macy's or Saks and pick one up. It takes two to deal.
"There are probably 10-12 other teams looking for the same thing we are. We're not the only one in the market looking."
That's true. It's also true that the right fit is important. The Lightning decided it wasn't interested in Boris Mironov, for example, because it questioned the impact he would have on the locker room.
That said, history tells us this. Between now and the March 11 trading deadline, someone is going to shake loose. There will be someone who can help the competition without screwing up the chemistry.
Then we all look toward ownership, don't we?
Feaster says he has no doubts. In recent months, after all, Davidson has taken additional interest in the Lightning, going as far as discuss individual players.
"People question it because nothing has happened yet," Feaster said. "But I'm convinced that if I go to Bill Davidson and lay out the reasons we should do this, I'm totally confident he'll do it."
For instance, Feaster points to the trade for backup goaltender John Grahame. He says no one raised the issue of the additional salary the team was taking on.
This time, the Lightning needs a top level defenseman. It needs someone who can rattle a few bones, make a few people nervous, protect the puck. It needs someone who can lift a team and help it get over the hump.
Maybe he arrives soon. In another 10 days, maybe two weeks, another team or two will drop out of the race, and it will start selling off parts. It happens every year.
When it happens, you would like to believe the Lightning will jump all over him. When you consider the strides this team has taken, wouldn't the worst thing be to miss the playoffs because ownership stayed with a pat hand?
It's the stretch run. It's time to dig a little deeper and come up with a little more. It's time to make the crucial play at the crucial time.
That's true of a team.
An ownership, too.

Tesco promises new store will
reinvigorate Dundalk town
BUILDERS are expected on site within weeks following news this week that Tesco are going ahead with elaborate revamp of the old Dundalk Shopping Centre.
There will be a total of 200 jobs in situ in Dundalk once the project is completed by late 2014.
Tesco revealed plans two years ago for a new superstore which would replace the entire building, with an a carpark to be placed directly below the main store.
Currently Tesco is the anchor tenant in the centre, with just a handful of other stores left in the building.
Tesco told staff at its current store at Dundalk Shopping Centre that the redevelopment will get underway later this year.
The building is to be demolished around a still functioning outlet on site.
Speaking to the Dundalk Democrat Community Liason for Tesco Ireland, Michael Sullivan, says that the new store is going to be one of the most stunning of its kind in the country.
"This store is going to a genuinely beautifully designed building," says Michael. "We are also going to open up a large area of the canal on the Ramparts aswell. We envisage that this area is going to become a really nice place to come and shop.
"We also see this building as significantly adding to the Dundalk as a shopping location, and also as a way of adding footfall to the town centre."
Crucially there will be retail units for the non-Tesco retailers that currently share the shopping centre with the supermarket giant.
"What will happen is that a the old building, which is there since the seventies, is going demolished piece, by piece, while the section of the shop as is will still function and will be functioning thoughout the build."
The end building will be 57,000 sq feet in size and offer a state of the art shopping facility.
"It will be roughly the same size as the one in Drogheda."
Michael also told the paper that it would have no effect on the Longwalk store.
Speaking to the Dundalk Democrat Willie Hamilton of the Mandate Trade Union who is responsible for Tesco employeers in the Dundalk said that they had sought and received assurances from the multinationals that there would be no negative impact on employees.
"We spoke to Tesco and they very quick to let us know that there would be no negative impact," said Mr Hamilton. "As I understand it employees will placed in the store in Longwalk while work is being carried out, and there will no impact on their hours. They guaranteed all existing contracts."
Mr Hamilton understands that the hardware side will be closed first and that element moved into main store as it stands currently.
"They had told me that the reconstruction will be done in sections and that a temporary store will be trading, though I'm not clear how that will transpire.
"In fairness to Tesco while they are not a charity they have been clear and forthcoming about this move, and they were quick to give assurances regarding staff. It's definitely good news for our Union and for the people of Dundalk, who can expect to have an extra 100 jobs onto top of the already existing 100 jobs.
"Also Tesco would tend to employ people from the surrounding in a manner that larger multinationals do not."
