 Have you been following the story of the trapped Chilean miners? 33 miners have been trapped in a gold and copper mine in Chile's remote north since a cave-in on August 5th. But it was not until a week ago that they were found alive. It could take up to three months to get them all out. Well, now the story gets juicy! One of the trapped Chilean miners is going to have some explaining to do after his wife ran into his mistress at the mines entrance. Britain's Sun newspaper reports the wife of Yonni Barrios was stunned and upset to find his girlfriend also conducting a vigil for him. I don't think he's digging to get out. I think he's digging down to try to get out the other way.

 Hey, I may have a solution for the chickens in La Crosse issue! Keep them INSIDE the house!What you say? What if they poop all over your nice carpets or your grandmother's table cozies? No worries! There's a solution for that too: Chicken Diapers! Ingrid Dimock of Australia invented the diapers and sells them for people who keep their chickens indoors! Brilliant! Man I just love it when I can help the city solve problems!

 You a milkshake fan? Though a simple vanilla, chocolate or strawberry milkshake always hits the spot, chefs aren't letting the classics hold them back. Some culinary minds have taken the challenge of creating the most uniquely delicious milkshake possible using ingredients we'd never dream of dropping in a blender. From an avocado shake to a sweet bacon-flavored treat, check out these desserts that have, well, shaken up the competition! 9 Out of the Ordinary Milkshakes. The Cap'n Crunch milkshake sounds good, but I draw the line at the Chicken McNugget shake!

 A book profiling the ascent of AC/DC is due next month. Voyageur Press will release 'AC/DC High-Voltage Rock 'N' Roll - The Ultimate Illustrated History' on October 15th. The book traces the highly-successful rockers' trajectory back to its roots on the club circuit in Australia. "AC/DC High-Voltage Rock 'N' Roll" features visuals that range from handbills and posters to backstage passes and performance photography. And some of rock's leading journalists pen the side bars and essays. The book also features an afterword written by Def Leppard's Joe Elliott. I love the cover! = = = Have a GREAT holiday weekend!!

 Well, just as I predicted, it was a little harder to wake Daniel up for school this morning than it was yesterday morning. I imagine that by Tuesday we'll be back to our usual routine: Running very late because he won't wake up! If this routine sounds a lot like your morning routine, check out these tips from MSN: Creative Shortcuts to Get Your Kids to School On Time. I'll use a couple of them, although I don't think telling Danny that it's 6:30 when it's really only 5:30 is gonna fly this year...

 If you're in the mood for some live music this weekend, be sure to check out our Concert Calendar! I love putting the calendar together every week because of all the great band names out there. Especially the blues singers, like Muddy Flats and the Hepcats! Ever wondered what your 'blues' name would be? Well, wonder no more! Here's a fun webpage that will generate your blues name based on your initials! I am 'Curly Gumbo'. Kelly is 'Blind Jenkins', Neil is 'Peg Leg Smith' and Pauly P is 'Sleepy Bradley'.

 Have you ever been in Wal Mart and heard someone over the PA say there was a 'Code Adam'? That phrase is a code phrase meaning that a child is missing. If you hear the phrase 'Code Oscar' while you're on a cruise, make sure you know where all your friends are because that means someone has gone overboard. The use of codes is intended to pass information between store employees quickly. They're meant to be a secret so as not to worry the non-staff members or alert someone like a thief to the fact that they have been noticed. Here are some other Secret Codes You Aren't Meant To Know

 Hey there friend! Thanks for checking out my blog today. So, my son Daniel started 8th grade today.

 Did you know that in some countries the consumption of beer, along with other alcoholic beverages, is prohibited!! Unbelievable but true!! Meanwhile, the rest of the world is brewing, selling, and imbibing the ancient drink! The biggest beer market in the world? China, which consumes more beer than any other nation. Check out these interesting Beer Facts From Around the World. The US state with the highest per capita beer consumption? Nevada, at 44 gallons a year per person. (However, you can imagine a lot of that is consumed by tourists...and me and my husband) The next highest state is New Hampshire. New Hampshire?? C'mon guys! We need to beat that record!

 Hi there and thanks for checking out my blog today. You know, it never ceases to amaze me how much music can change a mood. I've been listening to the Juno soundtrack lately and it's so full of quirky and fun songs that I just can't help but be in a good mood.

 I feel we've known each other long enough that we can talk about personal things don't you? Well, here's something that as a friend I think you should know. According to recent reports, the way you sit on the toliet can affect your health. What they're saying, basically, is that we are made to squat...not sit. As a matter of fact modern-day squat evangelists claim that a "more natural" posture wards off all sorts of health problems, from Crohn's disease to colon cancer. So what do you think? Willing to go from a sit to a squat? (Yeah, say that fast 3 times!)

Low clearance can be a real challenge for a truck driver. Especially inexperienced drivers of rental trucks who seem to be quite oblivious to all warning signs.

Check out this compilation video of 13 trucks being scalped by this very low bridge.

 I must admit that while I've never been a big Led Zeppelin fan, I've always had the hots for Jimmy Page (well, a YOUNG Jimmy Page). So I am very stoked upon hearing that the guitarist who helped define the sounds of Led Zeppelin and The Yardbirds will be celebrated with photography in the upcoming book, "Jimmy Page." Page appears in 650 images for the project, which will be available on September 27th. Don't look for "Jimmy Page" at the local mall bookstore, however. Only 25-hundred copies of "Jimmy Page" -- all signed by the "Stairway To Heaven" legend himself -- will be offered at the price of one-thousand-35 U.S. dollars.

 Ozzy Osbourne has performed with a huge list of musical giants: He jammed with Metallica at last year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anniversary concert in New York, sang for Slash on the guitarist's recent solo disc, and even hooked up with the Wu-Tang Clan for a track on his greatest hits "Bible of Ozz." But the Prince of Darkness's latest - and most pint-sized - collaborator is one of his most intriguing yet: 10-year-old Japanese guitar prodigy Yuto Miyazawa. Check out this video where Miyazawa joins Osbourne on stage and does an awe-inspiring Randy Rhoads impression! He's even wailing on the same black-with-white polka-dotted flying-V guitar Rhoads was known to use! Did I mention that he's only 10 years old!!! = = I hope you have a GREAT weekend!! Karen = = =

 Have you heard of the Playboy Playmate Curse? Marilyn Monroe was the first Playboy centerfold to die an early death, but she certainly wasn't the last. Here are 17 more who died from unnatural causes, which is why some people claim there's a curse. Hex or no hex, this is a tragic list.

 Being a sports star can be murder. It can apparently also drive you to commit murder. Here are the 8 most bloodthirsty pro-athletes who have been convicted of murder for reasons as silly as a traffic dispute all the way to murdering underworld crime bosses...which would be an awesome job title, you know --minus the whole murder thing.

 If you've got both kids and pets...here's a warning: Keep the little ones away from the dog food! Scientists are linking salmonella infections in children to dry pet food. Over a two year period, a total of 32 kids aged two years or younger are thought to have been infected in homes where pets were fed in the kitchen. Experts recommend that children younger than five not be allowed to handle pet food or treats and say that kids should be kept clear of feeding areas. Funny, when I first read this I thought they meant that kids were eating the dog food! Although my niece used to eat dog food all the time and we never really thought anything of it...she's got a beautiful coat and really white teeth!

 Hi there!! So? Were you at the concert on Saturday night? We had a BLAST! Here's a picture of me and my hubby that we took right after I got off stage and right before I got a full cup of beer smashed into my face. Good thing I got free beer all night or I would have been P*SSED! All in all...a great time!

 More than 100 people have broken the record for the most naked people on a rollercoaster. The 102 enthusiasts bared all to take their seats on the Green Scream rollercoaster in England. The riders were raising money for an area Children's Hospital. So, would you ride a rollercoaster naked? I'd be afraid that I'd hurt myself. Somethings are best kept in their bras if you know what I mean. Click here for more...there's video!!

One of my co-workers had a birthday recently and we helped him celebrate by covering everything in his office with tin-foil. Oh we thought we were so clever! So original! Pffft! We're amateurs compared to these office mates. Check out these 21 Office Cube Pranks. Whoever thought of the rat idea is BRILLIANT!

 Finally Friday!! I am soooooooooo excited about the concert at Fort McCoy tomorrow night. Congrats to our ticket winners and our 'onstage with Sammy' winners. I get to go up on stage to introduce the opening band, Theft. I wonder if I just sort of 'hung around' backstage to meet Sammy if anyone would notice. Just a thought... = = = = = = =
 Are planning on grilling out this weekend? You're not alone! When it comes to summertime fun, most people like to celebrate the season by lighting up the charcoal. A FoodNetwork.com poll shows that a backyard barbecue is the favorite type of summer party, with 59-percent saying they enjoy gathering with friends and family around the grill. Coming in a distant second place is a pool party, which eleven-percent prefer. Water also plays a role in the third most popular summer party -- six-percent have the most fun at beach picnics. Pizza and ice cream apparently don't factor in to many people's summer party plans. Only three-percent say they like ice cream socials, and just two-percent enjoy pizza parties during the summer. But roughly one in five people simply like a summer party. Nearly 20-percent note they would go to any of these types of events during the summer.

 Beware the pitfalls of Facebook! Ashley Johnson had a decent job as a waitress at a pizza joint. But that changed when a couple came in for lunch and stayed for three hours, forcing her to work an hour past her quitting time. And they left her a tip she thought was pretty measly. Johnson did what most folks who need a good rant do nowadays. She took to her Facebook page. What did she post? Well, let's just say she no longer has that decent job at a pizza joint. The restaurant, called Brixx has posted a statement about the incident on their Facebook page. Read what they had to say and get more on the story here.

Another day, another story on the Brett Favre saga. Even if the news announces that there's no news...he's still in the news. Blech! Well, here's some good news! While Brett teases the Vikings (again), his former backup, Aaron Rodgers, is busy being a team player in Green Bay. The Packers have a new leader in quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who can be best described as the anti-Favre. Read this great article on Aaron from FoxSports.com here.  Brett who??

 Sean Penn has criticized Wyclef Jean for stepping into Haiti's presidential race, insisting the former Fugees star has been "a non-presence" in aid efforts following the country's devastating earthquake. Get more on the story here.
