- CHP presentation indicated that 75-95% of car seats they
inspected were improperly installed. Less than 8yrs or less
than 4'9" requires a booster or proper seat. Upper
part of the belt must cross the chest, not across the face
or neck. Search various vehicle code sections for detail, ie
27315 VC or 27363 VC. Depending on the size of the seat, the
childs legs must not be sticking straight out, due to
excessive leg/hip injuries in an accident. Booster seats
helps allow the legs to bend at the knee. First fine for a
single violation is about $400. If your car is full of
children, the fines could be in the several thousand. You
are responsible for them to be buckled up. CHP still gives
tickets when you say, the child undid it.

1/29/12 BPa, Bisphenol A, is an
ingredient in many plastic containers and the lining of many
canned foods. It has been suggested that it can affect heart
disease, type 2 diabetes and can cause liver damage. Don't
use plastics in the microwave or to reheat foods. Heat
increases the release of BPA. Limit consumption of foods
contained in cans lined with BPA plastics. Don't put
BPA-containing plastics in the dishwasher. Look for labels
that say "BPA-free," A "7" on the bottom of plastics
indicates BPA.

1/18/12 Cyber Tips: How to keep your
cell phone info private. If you don't have
one already, set up a password on your phone (avoid 1234,
4321, or four consecutive numbers like 5555). Many
applications request using your location information when
you open them. We recommend you refuse to unless you believe
there is a good reason to do so (ie, track your progress
along a route). Remember, many apps are free because they
sell information like this about you to others. Change the
settings in your smartphone (if it has GPS) to remove
location data from pictures before posting to a social media
site. The date, time and location can tell a criminal that
you are away from home. Keep y our whereabouts private
(don't "check in" to a location). If your phone has
antitheft software, enable the feature that lets you locate
your cell phone in case of loss or theft. You can also
remote lock it and send a text message if someone has simply
picked it up, or turned it in where you lost it. If your
phone doesn't come with it, install software that has this
feature and the next one. Install software that has a
feature called "remote wipe" that lets you erase all
information on your phone in case it is lost or stolen.

1/8/12 New twist on Creation by
Scientology: Around 75 million years ago Xenu, the
ruler of a Galactic Confederation of 76 planets, transported
billions of his charges in spaceships similar to DC-8 jets
to a planet called Teegecack (Earth). There they were placed
near volcanoes and killed by exploding hydrogen bombs, after
which their "thetans" (souls) remained to inhabit the bodies
of future earthlings, causing humans today great spiritual
harm and unhappiness that can be remedied through special
techniques involving an Electopsychometer (E-meter) in a
process called auditing. So, is it Myth, Religion, or
Science Fiction? ... Scientific American, Nov 2011.

1/6/12 So kind he was. One
afternoon a congressman was riding in his limousine when he
saw two men along the road-side eating grass. Disturbed, he
ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate. He
asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't
have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to
eat grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my
house and I'll feed you." the congressman said. "But
sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over
there, under that tree." "Bring them along," the congressman
replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You may
come with us, also." The second man, in a pitiful voice,
then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children
with me!" "Bring them all as well," the congressman
answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task,
even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once under
way, one of the poor fellows turned to the congressman and
said, "Sir, you are too kind." "Thank you so much for taking
all of us with you!!" The congressman replied, "Glad
to do it." "You'll really love my place." "The grass is
almost a foot high."
