You are told that in order to get exact matches, a lengthy and expensive physical sampling process must be employed. What happened? Why can't technology present...

I just had to cross the road to find bush to build forts in, and a small river to swim in. Our yard, and my grandfather's Saskatchewan farmer know how, supported a big vegetable garden, as well as several fruit trees, and a variety of yummy berries. Although the thorns are wicked, my favorite were (and still are) the wild blackberries, alas they don't grow at the fifty third parallel where I currently reside. Our lawn back then was a conglomeration of grass, clover, plantain, dandelions, chickweed, and a few other plants...

This language absolutely protects the manufacturer from any liability because the manufacturer is essentially telling you not to clean your wedding gown. However, an experienced cleaner who specializes in caring for gowns...

I have four friends who have had the "Lap Band" surgery in the past year. All four of them were overweight to the degree that major surgery was a justified option. All four of them recovered nicely from the surgery, and all four are losing weight at a good and healthy rate. Overall, their experiences have been very positive. Again, each of these four people were more than just slightly overweight. Their own weight issues posed a genuine health risk and demanded a lifestyle change. I am -- by no means -- endorsing surgery as a solution for an overweight condition. I believe that this is a decision that should be made by the individual and his or her own physician, after careful consideration. I do...
