Wal-Mart raids teen girls' panties
I found this story listed on FARK… I just had to share it…
Fox News reports:
The panties, which were sold in the juniors department, seemed to suggest that girls don’t need money, they just need a sugar daddy — in this case Santa Claus.
The hipster briefs — carrying the slogan “Who needs credit cards …” on the front and “When you have Santa” on the derriere — caused an uproar among parents, who called for the $2.96 drawers to be pulled off the racks.
“There’s nothing quite like telling adolescent girls that they don’t need to worry about finances since they have their very own moneypot between their legs,” Jessica Valenti, the executive editor of Feministing.com, wrote on the panty blog post.

A great new product from the National Weather Service!
A great new product from the National Weather Service!
Story Source:
The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network, or “CoCoRaHS,” is now active in Kentucky and Indiana. CoCoRaHS is a public network of trained volunteers who measure rain, snow, and hail and post their reports at a free website: http://www.cocorahs.org. CoCoRaHS is funded by the National Science Foundation, and is strongly supported by the National Weather Service. Currently there are about one hundred observers across central Kentucky and southern Indiana, and we hope to have many more as the program continues to grow.
Volunteers’ reports are listed at the CoCoRaHS website in tabular form as well as being plotted on maps. The precipitation maps make it easy to compare rainfall, snowfall, and snow depth amounts across the region.
The National Weather Service office in Louisville will begin disseminating the CoCoRaHS reports from central southern Indiana and central Kentucky every morning at 10:00 am Eastern Time, beginning December 10, in one comprehensive product. The reports will be issued with the header “CoCoRaHS Precipitation Summary,” under product type SDFLCOLMK.
If you would like to volunteer for this fun program, please contact us at w-lmk.webmaster@noaa.gov.
…Potential Weekend Storm System…
From the NWS in Louisville:
The latest forecasts indicate that a low-pressure system will develop over the Gulf states Friday night, and will move toward the mid-Atlantic coast on Saturday. This system looks to bring a good chance for precipitation, mainly on Saturday, but the type of precipitation highly depends on the track of the low pressure center. If the low pressure tracks further north, it would produce mostly rain for the area. If it tracks further south, it would produce mostly snow for the area.
Track further north…
Track further south…
Stayed tuned to the latest forecasts on this weekend storm system by viewing the following links:

Use Playlists to Keep your House Clean (Cleaning)
Organization web site Unclutterer hits on a novel way of enforcing a daily cleaning habit instead of letting your mess take over your weekend. The author, who tackles one room each workday, uses her iPod to keep track of time:
We have created playlists that are 15 to 30 minutes long on our iPods with collections of fun songs to listen to while we clean. So, when the music stops, our cleaning tasks are usually coming to a close.
It might sound kind of “duh,” but many can attest to the power of losing yourself in music to make a daily cleaning regimen seem less like work. If you really want to get ambitious (and have a lot of Motorhead in your MP3 player), you could try keeping your house clean in 19 minutes a day.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE WATER COVERS THE ROAD. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS SAFELY. TURN AROUND…DONT DROWN.
Kentucky State Police Instant Messaging Application Wins International Award
Kentucky State Police Instant Messaging Application Wins International Award
Excerpts from: http://techlines.ky.gov/2007/dec/kywins.htm
The Commonwealth has a new toy for emergency personnel, and it’s been catching eyes:
The Kentucky State Police (KSP) recently received an international award for the Kentucky Wireless Interoperability Network System (KyWINS) Messenger, a statewide instant messaging system for use by all emergency responders in Kentucky. The award was accepted by Major Brad Bates, KSP chief information officer, at the 114th International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Annual Conference in New Orleans, LA.
The article continues:
The KyWINS Messenger system was created by KSP with coordination and support from the Commonwealth Office of Technology, Kentucky Office of Homeland Security and the Center for Rural Development. Utilizing Jive Software’s Openfire open source product, which was modified to meet the system specifications, KyWINS Messenger provides one unifying and central communication tool across several areas and disciplines in the commonwealth where uninteroperable mobile message switching applications are being used.
By using an Internet connection or the statewide 800 MHz wireless data communications infrastructure, immediate text communication is available to authorized users, regardless of location. The system not only provides mobile-to-mobile communications but also allows personnel at dispatch centers across the commonwealth to quickly communicate with each other in the event of an emergency. These quick avenues of communication help avoid radio traffic congestion through both one-to-one and one-to-many communication, with the later being based on the system’s group conferencing feature. In addition, KyWINS Messenger can broadcast an immediate message to all online users in order to spread important information rapidly and requires little technological knowledge to use. In order to ensure complete security and confidentiality, all system messaging traffic is encrypted.
It’s a nifty little toy, but needs a lot of work. Trust me…
Gmail Adds AIM Support to Chat (Gmail)
Not only did Google add colored labels to Gmail today, they’re rolling out AIM compatibility in chat, too. The new AOL Instant Messenger support lets you log into your AIM account to chat with your AIM buddies right inside Gmail. Not sure yet if your AIM chat history is stored in your Gmail account the way GTalk convo’s are. Update: AIM chat history does indeed get stored in Gmail. Rock!We’re not seeing it just yet, but being an AIM over GTalk user, I’ll keep refreshing till I do. To try it out you’ve got to be using the new version of Gmail in IE7 or Firefox 2. Sign into Chat and hit the Options menu to see the “Sign into AIM” option. Any readers out there get AIM in Gmail yet? Let us know how you like it. Image via Zoorgloob.
