Sony Corp is recalling 440,000 Vaio laptop computers worldwide due to a wiring flaw that could cause overheating. The recall involves 19 models in the Vaio TZ series manufactured between May 2007 and July 2008. The company had improperly placed wires near the hinge connecting the body of the laptop and its display could wear quickly and cause a short circuit and overheating. A mistake in a circuit board inside the display could also cause overheating inside its rim. Sony has already received 209 reports of overheating worldwide and seven cases where people received minor burns.

Every year, an estimated 7 million Americans suffer from cases of foodborne illness. Some cases are violent and even result in death. Of course this is commonly known as "food poisoning." The culprit is food that has dangerously high levels of bacteria due to improper cooking or handling.

I live in California, where it's about 50 degrees past hell in the summer. This year especially though, my lungs feel as though they will spontaneously combust every time I go outside! I feel like I should be living in a bubble, a nice cold bubble...

I just discovered legitimately the best music production system the internet has ever seen and ever will see.
My teenaged son was trying to teach me how to download beats from the web, but I found it very difficult. I told him that there has to be a website that allows you to do the same thing with less work. I searched all over the web and came across the best site out there http://tinyurl.com/2yfpar . It was very inexpensive to order, just $29.00. I tried it out and within 2 days I composed a complete song with all of the bells and whistles. My son could not believe that I had put together such an awesome track. I’m telling you, if you want to learn how to put together beats quickly this is the site for you. It has videos and instructions on how to do everything. My son decided that he didn’t want to use his old site anymore. He said that if I could do, it anyone could. If you are looking for an easy site to work with to compose music, this is exactly what you have been looking for. It makes the other more expensive 'Music Production Programs' look like trash. Go http://tinyurl.com/2yfpar to check it out!....

Okay ya'll, as several of you know, it's HOT on the EAST coast. I dont' remember it being this hot last year. Am I right? Was it? This past week we've had excessive heat warnings first thing in the morning until 8 p.m. WOW! At first when I heard this I thought, yeah right it won't be that hot. Haha, I was wrong.

We tried going to the beach on the first day of the heat advisory but we only stayed for about an hour, that was just too much heat. I even got burned, hubby got it worse though, but his will tan mine won't. :( Not to worry, kids somehow didn't burn.

I am absolutely incapable of being on this damned computer for more than 5 minutes a day lately. The weather here in Portland (believe it or not!) has been fluctuating between 102 and 108 degrees this past week and our home office is on the top floor facing the sun....all day long. I honestly believe it to be a health hazard for me to even be in here typing this.

Next house we buy will have one story and A/C.

I am too hot to write. And I don't mean in the Paris Hilton "that's hott", kinda way. It is 102 degrees in Portland today and humid to the point of my wondering when & how we ended up in a rainforest.

Since summer's are fairly short here, a lot of new houses are built without air conditioning....and our house is one of those. So sitting upstairs at the computer is akin to being in a sauna. I guess I'll at least have very clean pores after this post!
