Is that real or fake weed on film in Pineapple Express?

There have been a lot of questions and hype about the stuff being smoked in Pineapple Express, and of course the entire 2008 MTV music awards controversy when "fake weed" was shown in a baggie onstage.

So let me clear the record: International Oddities sells non-tobacco legal bud smoking products to anyone 18 and over, and they have found their way into many Hollywood movies, including Pineapple Express.

The baggie held up during the MTV music awards was not made by IO and was not smokable. However, the stuff smoked onstage in the cigarette was a International Oddities product taken from the actual material used in Pineapple Express. Robert Downey Jr. was pretty amazed, wasn't he?

The bottom line is that the International Oddities product line is not a prop or fake weed; it's called a RYO (roll your own) legal bud hybrid. Many say that these products represent the future of smoking in the United States. You can find them in smoke shops nationwide, or directly from InternationalOddities.com. For over 25 years, IO has been the world's most popular provider of legal and herbal buds. Their buds and accessories have been mentioned in High Times magazine, Maxim, Penthouse, Magical Blend, AP Press, Skunk, and many others.

Back to school supplies

Global.dymo.com is an easy to navigate website that offers various solutions to help get organized with stylish supplies. From home, office, school, and industry solutions, this site provides all the cutting edge label printers and postage solutions. It is loaded with tips and advice as well.

Now since school is starting back up pretty soon it's time for parents to think about school supplies. When I was a kid, I remember the school rules that all my supplies had to have been labeled with my name. Back then we only had the blue label with the white lettering, but now there are all sorts of Color labels to choose from.

At my first day of school, I was kind of nervous about being away from my family for the first time, but I made friends very quickly. I truly had no idea why every pencil case, lunch box, gym shorts, clothes, toy, book, book bag, or any other of my numerous school supplies had to be labeled. It seems to be that we all went label crazy, but it was and still is mandatory.

And let's not forget the book covers. Thankfully DYMO offers awesome flashy school book labels to organize things better. Now parents also have to worry about labeling CD cases, something that wasn't around when I was a kid.

700 (best blog ever)




Welcome to the 700th post on Skew.DailySkew.com.

I'd like to take this time to shamelessly plug other sites related to the DailySkew:

The Original DailySkew, mostly moderated by my partner Tony Vahl, with archived content written by the two of us.

Baseball.DailySkew.com for the most honest baseball analysis and New York Yankees coverage on the net.

Damian Hospital and Tony Vahl's office DREAM SEEKER novels

The most awesome DAILYSKEW T-Shirts and caps ever!

And now, a message from AL GORE:

"Thank you, Damian. In looking back over the last eight years, I can tell you that we have already learned one important fact since the year 2000: take it from me, elections matter. If you think the next appointments to our Supreme Court are important, you know that elections matter. If you live in the city of New Orleans, you know that elections matter. If you or a member of your family are serving in the active military, the National Guard or Reserves, you know that elections matter. If you’re a wounded veteran, you know that elections matter. If you lost your job, if you’re struggling with your mortgage, you know that elections matter. If you care about a clean environment, if you want a government that protects you instead of special interests, you know that elections matter. If you care about food safety, if you like a T on your BLT, you know that elections matter. If you bought poisoned, lead-filled toys from China or adulterated medicine made in China, if you bought tainted pet food made in China, you know that elections matter! After the last eight years, even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter...so get out at VOTE in NOVEMBER!"

Help cure and treat Alzheimer's Disease

By now it's very possible you have lost or known someone suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. Just this year, an old family friend of mine named Bernie passed on. My close friend Gary's dad passed away this year, too. My partner at work Danny lost his father, who suffered from this horrible disease, too. It is a tragic and slow disease that shatters the memories of the vibrant people.



That's why I'd like to let everyone know about the Alzheimer's Memory Walk, which raises awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support, and research. I'm sure you've seen these 2-3 mile walks. Well, every community is looking for team captains and volunteers. It's pretty simple- yet important- and is held on a weekend morning this fall.

You can search for the closest chapter near you by following the links in this post. You can register online, get your own website, and invite others to join your team.

Absolute Calm: Dealing with stress

Have you heard about AbsoluteCalm yet? Absolute Calm is a natural herbal supplement (not a drug) and can be ordered online.

What does it do? It helps athletes calm and relax their body and nerves before and during their game or competition. This makes them feel refreshed and focused, and testimonials indicate that performance increases as well.

To put it simply, Absolute Calm promotes an anti-stress outlook during stressful activities, but without the strong sedative effect found in drugs.

It helps you relax in as little as fifteen minutes and can continue to work for up to eight hours. That means it will last long enough for you to maintain your focus and clarity to stay in the zone.

I sure wish the Yankees Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) would get some Absolute Calm. He has been to numerous psychologists and sports therapists because he gets too nervous with base runners in scoring position. Many baseball players get too tense if there are two outs or they need to get an RBI. A-Rod also chokes during the post-season, so he is someone who should really check out this all-natural product.

The great part about Absolute Calm is that it is not for athtles only. If you work in a stressful job during the day, this product would give you the focus and clarity to remain calm and relaxed and to perform well under pressure.

Canadian Medical ID Jewellery

Universal Medical ID offers bracelets, necklaces, watches and sport bands in a wide variety of styles and makes, such as gold, gold-filled, sterling silver, stainless steel, titanium, and nylon medical ID jewellery.

Why are medical identification accessories important? Because in the time of an emergency, many patients cannot speak for themselves, and correct diagnosis in the first few minutes is critical.

Fat Albert Returns- ONLINE

In what has been a trend, and what is sure to continue to be the wave of the future, old episodes of an old TV shows are now online and being repacked as something new, when in reality, they are not original at all.

At least the Muppets online have new skits with those two old critics.

Just in time for 2008 and FINAL CRISIS, it is the triumphant "return" of....

HEY HEY HEY

FAT ALBERT!

It's amazing how much positive buzz Fat Albert is getting again. I mean, his live "action" movie bombed. The DVDs have been around since 2005, and we've seen as many reruns as we possibly could take. Now there is buzz that Fat Albert is officially on the youtube, brought to you by Sony.

Arizona Boating Education Online



A lot of people don't realize that the the legal limit for blood alcohol is .08 for driving and for boating. In fact, in 2007 alone Arizona Boating law enforcement agencies arrested over 350 people who were Boating Operating Under the Influence of alcohol. Some people are under the impression that drinking and boating go hand and hand, but they are wrong; drinking and boating lead to fatalities. Boating safety education is not required in the state of Arizona, but educated boaters are 70% less likely to be involved in a boating accident. Thankfully Arizona is offering Boating Education Online.

Make online bank check deposits at home

Check scanners have been in existence since around 2004, but now they are inexpensive. With the soaring price of gas in the United States, you should calculate the numbers to see how much money you could be saving if you could deposit checks from the comfort of your own home or business office.

DepositNow has perfected this scanner, and has made the price affordable: it's only $225 (AND you take $25 off if you use my blog name skew.dailyskew.com as your promo code!!!). If you plug the numbers, you can see that you can save money on gas, and save yourself the time and hassle of going to the bank.

DepositNow provides all the software and security assurances you need to make a safe transaction.

Now, if you run an online business, like if you are an eBay Powerseller or run Amazon auctions, this scanner is an item that will help you out a lot. DepositNow has different model scanners, which are half the price of other scanners on the market. And unlike those other scanners, DepositNow's machines can scan other paper besides checks.

The software and electronic transfers work with United States banks, and there is no need to change banks, create a new account, or anything else that is inconvenient. In fact, the interface is web-based, simple, easy, and 100% secure. If you can read this blog post, you can make a digital check transfer.

If you work at an office or small business, wasting time and money on driving to the bank to deposit checks is ridiculous. The technology is here and affordable; let's use it.

The world of web hosting can be very confusing and frustrating for people. It is very hard to separate legitimate web hosting services from the scams.

WebHostingRatings.com is a site that will offer web hosting tutorials and rank all the different web hosting companies so you can see which will be best for you.

This site offers great insights on bad web hosting companies, and ways to tell if you are going to get ripped off.

Advertising and Marketing Products on the Internet

SocialSpark.com is a social media marketing network that connects bloggers to companies, products, and organizations who want to spread word about their services.

Bloggers, such as myself, write reviews, previews, or details about an advertiser's product, which helps increase the visibility of their brand name and generates hits to their website. It's a great way to promote their websites, and hundreds of companies have already been doing this for a while now. The difference between previous blog advertising and SocialSpark is that SocialSpark is fully search engine compliant, posts have no follow tags, and are fully clear about being sponsored.

I'd like to see some computer game software companies, who rely so heavily on Internet traffic and "word of mouth" for their sales to sign up with SocialSpark. Companies like Greydog Software, the makers of Total Extreme Wrestling (TEW), Wrestling Spirit, Bowl Bound College Football, and other games would benefit from the numerous blog posts they could buy. Other software companies that base their sales from Internet search engines include OOTP Developments, makers of baseball and boxing computer simulation games. Diamond Mind Baseball should consider doing this as well.

DC and Marvel comic book publishers could also benefit from advertising their comic book subscriptions or online services.

The big software video game companies such as Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft should consider spreading word via SocialSpark about upcoming games or hardware for X-Box 360, PS3, and Wii.

Dream Novels

Dream Seeker: The Velvet Mask


I reread Damian Hospital and Tony Vahl's first published work recently, and I had to marvel at the uniqueness of their novel.

What is the Dream Seeker: The Velvet Mask about? It's about a young man named Dace Senoit who inspires people by helping them remember their long-lost dream. It's about fantastic beings called Icons who govern our reality, and govern us. It's about misunderstood anti-heroes who capture losers who have lost "It." It's about a pastiche superhero in Miami who patrols the streets in a jet-black pick-up truck, fighting murderous supervillains.

The stories are varied, innovative, and intense. The writing feels like a movie, sci-fi TV show, or comic book. There are 301 pages, and the stories won't take much of your time, but you will feel satisfied at the end. Much like a dream, the stories will come and go quickly, with many unexpected twists and turns, and it will linger in the back of your mind, subconsciously altering your perception of the world.

Dace, the Dream Seeker, helps people remember dreams, one person at a time. This book will inspire a dream within you, and get you to think about your life deeply. The Velvet Mask is the first book in an on-going series of novels, written by two Enneagram and dream enthusiasts.

Seychelles Islands


So, get this- The Today Show's "Where in the World is Matt Lauer" segment featured the Seychelles Islands, and he said how it is a great vacation spot. The NEXT thing you know, everyone on the Net is searching for information about it, especially Praslin, the island Matt Lauer was at.

Observation #1: Why should we care about what Matt Lauer (formerly of PM Magazine in the 1980's) says? "Television personalities", "anchormen" and "hosts" have no real authority.

Observation #2: The Seychelles Islands was settled in 1609. it's been around for a while. Matt didn't discover it! It's a great vacation spot, especially if you don't mind having any security (it's vulnerable to terrorist attacks on U.S. tourists). You can also hunt sharks and tortoises there if you'd like.

Observation #3: Do you need to go all the way to an obscure section of the Indian Ocean, when you can go to Hawaii or the Bahamas and do the same thing?

Observation #4: Next thing you know your partner is going to want to go there $$$$$$$$$$.

Observation #5: This is how "common knowledge" gets started.

How to get an online personal loan

There is no argument that if you need money quickly, such as personal loans, using the internet is much more efficient than waiting in line in some bad neighborhood, and walking about with an envelope filled with cash.

For example, if you go to personalloansmania.com, you can file a loan request, which takes around three minutes, and you would be approved shortly. Your loan could be for any reason, and if you have bad credit, you can still get your personal loan. All you have to do is fill out a quick form online (they run a secure server) and you'll get approved very quickly.

SocialSpark Info

IZEA has been taking steps to make things smoother for blog advertising. There is no denying that blogging for money helps thousands of people financially around the world. SocialSpark is more compliant than the other pay per post blog services for a number of valid reasons:

Any blogger who is signed up with SocialSpark is forced to use an in-post disclosure when advertising a product or spreading buzz. This combats the critics who say that reviews are misleading.

Click to enlarge

Posts written in SocialSpark's format are search engine friendly, meaning the links have no follow tags, which Search Engine Cops have been insistent about.

Therefore, it is assumed that bloggers using SocialSpark to make money would not have their Google Page Rank zeroed out.

If you are a blogger, and want to make money and keep your Page Rank, join SocialSpark because it has a strict code of ethics and it is 100% compliant with search engine rules.

Click to enlarge

If you are an advertiser, using SocialSpark is a great way to spread buzz about your product, company, service, or message.

Opportunities for bloggers on SocialSpark do not require for you to have a Google Page Rank; IZEA RealRank is used instead.

SocialSpark is an online community, similar to other popular social networks. You create a profile, make friends, promote your blog, meet advertisers, and get to ask questions and make comments about specific opportunities. Your blog's traffic will increase.

Things are still in the experimental stage, and your request to reserve a review opportunity may take a few days to get approved, but the future is looking brighter for bloggers who have been penalized by Google just for trying to supplement their income.

Identity Theft

We live in a world where your personal data is the new currency. Your personal data can be stolen and transfered in seconds. It can be hijacked from junk mail and telemarketing databases. Professional identity thieves have gotten the method down pat, and your credit cards can be used in illegal transactions instantly all across the world. You've seen and read the news stories about how real and dangerous identity fraud is.

By now you may have also seen or heard Lifelock CEO Todd Davis' commercial where he gives away his Social Security Number to show you how confident he is in his company, and how he guarantees your identity will not be stolen while you are a member of Lifelock. The bottom line is you will be alerted anytime your credit card is used in anyway you are not expecting it, and Lifelock will do everything it can to guarantee your protection.

Babylon 5 Season 1 on HULU for FREE

It's official: every episode of Babylon 5 Season 1 can be seen for free at hulu.com

This sci-fi series, created by comic book, sci-fi, and cartoon writer J. Michael Straczynski (Rising Stars, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Midnight Nation, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, etc.) is his realistic take on Star Trek, since he was never able to reboot Star Trek on his own.

Babylon 5 was critically acclaimed in sci-fi circles, with a cult following. Season 1 is known for setting up the next 4 years, and J.M. Straczynski treats viewers who are observant and intelligent. It truly is a different take on Star Trek and Deep Space 9, although there are not many brilliant episodes in Season 1. This series lays out the alien races, plots, and characters for the ongoing storyline. Unlike Star Trek, every episode was planned by the creator and the continuity is tight. Even the most subtle line had potential to be used in a later season.

Season 1 is regarded as the weakest season of B5, since there are times when the pace is too slow for modern viewers, some episodes are like bad Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 filler episodes, and there are some cast changes. And FYI, I believe episodes 1 and 2 are mislabeled on Hulu right now.

However, one Hulu poster said it best: "Season one serves mostly as an introduction of a four year story arc, it is in spots a bit slow or rough; but there are some truly remarkable moments that make the series eminently worth watching."

We can hope Hulu would release Season 2 one day. One way to help is to watch Season 1, to make the show popular on hulu, and express its demand.

FREE TV EPISODES ONLINE (The Office, The Simpsons, more)


I just wanted to spread the word that HULU.com has free TV episodes online (and some movies)- current seasons (and a few old episodes from canceled shows, plus tons of clips) and some of the popular shows of today. HULU is owned by NBC and FOX, so everything is legal and legitamate because there is (very) limited advertising during the shows.

You don't even have to login with an e-mail or user name. Just watch.

The streaming video is fine and doesn't hiccup, plus no need to use Windows Media Player or Silverlight. There are no catches, except that some seasons are not complete, however, the episodes themselves are complete and high quality. You can check out an index for yourself.

If you want to embrace the new era of watching TV shows online when YOU want without being chained to a TV at a certain time or without spending money on TiVo, check it out.

Here's a small list of TV shows (select episodes, and in many cases a whole bunch) available right now:

The Office Season 4 (current)
The Simpsons Season 19 (current)
NewsRadio
24
The A-Team
Fantasy Island
Various Battlestar Galactica
Arrested Development (the most underrated comedy of all time)
Bob Newhart Show
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buck Rogers
Family Guy
ER
Cops
Spider-Man Animated
The Tonight Show
SNL

"and much more".

Most of the movies are very cheesy and not worth the time, but there are some diamonds in the rough, such as Ice Age, the New Planet of the Apes, and The Usual Suspects.

So...if you're tired of missing stuff on TV, tired of bad quality youtube not allowing full episodes, want to save money on TiVo, and have better things to do that use BitTorrent to download broken files, watch HULU, because if it is successful, all the major studios will have free content with nominal advertisements.

Carmen Kontur Gronquist Pic

Carmen Kontur Gronquist

Thank you, Carmen Kontur Gronquist.

Thank you for being newsworthy, Carmen Kontur Gronquist.

Thank you for putting me back at the top of the Izea RealRank Top 1% again, Carmen Kontur Gronquist.

For the last couple of days, since you got kicked out of office, there has been a renewed interest in the Carmen Kontur Gronquist photo that was posted on myspace a while back.

You see, like most Oregon mayors, you kept out of the spotlight, and were a complete unknown until you posed in lingerie and posted it on myspace. It became a national story a while back. I got some decent traffic then. Then you got kicked out of office this week, and I got around 3,500 hits Thursday by Internet perverts who want to see the Carmen Kontur Gronquist photo.

Some things amaze me:

1) That people can actually spell "Carmen Kontur Gronquist" or something remotely close to it.
2) That the entire world is searching for "Carmen Kontur Gronquist photo", and 3,000 of those netizens wind up here, especially since Google knocked me to PR0.
3) From the smallest towns in Hicksville, USA, to Latin American Populist countries, to the coldest spots in the former Soviet Union, to Asian countries, people have been searching for Carmen Kontur Gronquist since she got kicked out of office.

Not that I'm complaining. On the contrary, thanks for the hits, Carmen Kontur Gronquist. I broke my all-time Izea Real Rank championship for one night at #106! For one day, I was champ again, after being written off at #989. Of course, it's only downhill from here, but that's okay. I made the comeback, no matter how brief. I did it! I won! For one day only, but I still did it!

Thank you, Carmen Kontur Gronquist.
