Posting your pics over internet

ST. LOUIS – It's an international mystery: How did a Missouri family's Christmas card photo end up in the Czech Republic, splashed across a huge storefront advertisement? Danielle Smith said Wednesday that the photo taken of her family last year got sent to family and friends, and was posted on her blog and a few social networking sites. The photo showed her and her husband Jeff holding their two young children.
About 10 days ago, one of Smith's college friends was driving through Prague when he spotted their huge smiling faces in the window of a store specializing in Europeann food. He snapped a few pictures and sent them to a flabbergasted Smith.
"It's a life-size picture in a grocery store window in Prague — my Christmas card photo!" said Smith, 36, who lives in the St. Louis suburb of O'Fallon.
Mario Bertuccio, who owns the Grazie store in Prague, said the photo was from the Internet. Details were sparse, but he said he thought it was computer-generated. When told it was a real photo — of a real family — he said he started taking steps to remove it.
"We'll be happy to write an e-mail with our apology," said Bertuccio, who said he would send the Smiths a bottle of good wine if they lived in his eastern European country.
The Smiths and photographer Gina Kelly hadn't authorized anyone to use the pictures. Kelly said she has asked a professional photographers' organization to help figure out how her image wound up in Prague.
Smith has gotten 180,000 hits to her Web site since she recently posted the story about the well-traveled snapshot. She said the photo wasn't used in an unseemly manner, it was just used to tell potential shoppers about the store's delivery service.
Smith said next time she posts a photo on the Internet, she's going to lower the resolution or add an electronic watermark to make it hard to reproduce.
"This story doesn't frighten me, but the potential frightens me," Smith said.

I have pics somewhere...let me see
if I can find one. I can only seem to find one where the dogs are in it only incidentally, but here it is anyway--oh, and the cutest kid in the whole world about 1.5 years ago--but your niece runs a close second!!! :o)
Saw pics in a magazine once....where are you?
!
All for pics and time
Love pictures of any kind and love visits or being invited to dine with them. Everyone is just too busy these days. Money and gifts not important as quality time. My best Christmas gift ever was when my two kids got together with their kids and did a family picture at the mall, They usually do not see each other except at holidays, so them getting the two families together for a picture was wonderful.
baby pics
On some level, the magazine that buys them will probably earn their $$ back. $300k is not all that much and there are a lot of Palin supporters out there who will buy the magazine.
Here's a issue that kept cropping up in my mind during the election when all of the hubbub was going around after it was announced that she was pregnant. The conservative right wing was so proud of her for keeping her child and not terminating the pregnancy (hello, choice) and yet there was no outrage from the conservatives that this 17-year-old child had been having sex without the consecration of marriage.
I just found it a little odd and more than a little hypocritical.
I'll have to get some more pics of him
Our first night was a little rough, having to get used to being a big boy now!
My other dog, Gizmo, is a shitzu chihuahua cross, and he's 2 years old. He hasn't quite warmed up to Radar yet. I think all the yipping and what not is getting on his nerves LOL. He did come check him out this morning though when he started hollering. I thought that was cute.
Does anyone watch Cesar Milan? I absolutely love that show! I'm learning a lot from it!
Can you post pics on here? Trying ?
okay pic
1. granny (dh's mom) with james

I have no idea what the ariticle about the pics said.
I agree with the above post...lucky you. Even if it is just lucky to see them. Was this by chance on the Creeper Trail? I think that is only in VA but not sure.
couple more pics of Lakoda
nm
i wish more people could post pics!
I always look and admire them. May not always comment but I love them like it sounds like you do!!
Hot mail change and no pics
My hotmail email account sometimes changes the way it looks with upgrades or whatever they are doingl. Ever since the last time, when someone sends me an email with a picture in it (not an attachment), the pictures are blank. What can I do?
I have taken pics from previous gatherings
and bought cute pic holders and (like at Claire's and put the pic along with the gift care on that. Guess that would be more for girls, but for boys you, depeneding on their age and likes, you could put it in a baseball cap or something like that.
Almost all men look at porn! They love lesbian pics
I reall wouldn't worry about it! It's a billion $ industry - paid for by men of all ages and walk of life. Even if the don't buy porn I guarantee they love looking at beatuiful women in the grocery store or at church!
Adult porn is legal. It's not criminal to look it - I don't see what that has to do with his job! Every model/actress has documentation of her dob and government issued ID on file with the producer. The FBI can inspect these records at any time. Look at any "big" soft porn site (hustler, playboy, penthouse) and click on 2257 diclaimer.
I really wouldn't worry about it. I disagree with the above poster that it ruins lives!!!
Men buy printed porn, call phone sex lines, and view porn on the net simply to get off. It has nothing to do with an addiction or ruining his life! Even what we think of "kinky" may simply be a harlmess fetish/fantasy. He may not want to admit to his wife that he likes wearing women's panties, or that he loves women in fish net stockings. So he buys a mag for $10 and spends $20 on phone sex line or a web cam girl and gets to live it for 15 minutes.
This is me but I would rather have my traveling husband or my son in college look at Hustler and call a phone sex line than sleep with a woman and catch something nasty! I wouldn't want to discuss it with them over breakfast, but I wouldn't worry about it! :)
Porn sites are high risk for viruses - I would be more concerned about getting good anti-virus software on his computer.
Of course, on the flip side, during Gay Days, there were pics
with their wankies hanging out. American Family Association went in undercover and took a LOT of pics much like this. The problem...DisneyWorld treated it just like any other day and parents were bringing their entire families in the park only to find out once inside what their children were being subjected to. There was nothing posted ahead of time or during Gay Days that would have forewarned heterosexuals of the week long event. My understanding is that DisneyWorld still hosts Gay Days, but now announce prior to and during the event so heterosexuals, heterosexual parents raising their children are aware.
This is not false information, it is absolutely truthful, so it has nothing to do with my personal opinion.
Nikon Cool Pix (pics?) digital
Got a Nikon from my husband last Christmas and I love it. It is easy to work, is digital, software is simple, camera is small, but not too small. Pixels are terrific and the features are many. I would recommend it. It is on sale most of the time at Costco. The add on memory is fairly affordable too and I love to just keep the camera with us and add pictures until I have free time to upload them. Another thing I love about is that the battery stays charged for a long, long time. It takes beautiful pictures too!
I'm always ready to share pics of my dogs..sm
I'm going to be in real trouble when I have grandkids if I'm this crazy over my dogs - I do have two granddogs - Golden Retrievers, but no pictures of them to share at the moment.
Cool pics and ideas. We grew our
tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets last year, but not upside down. This year, we have 50(!) tomato plants growing. Think DH went a little too far.
I like the other idea I saw about using garbage bags, too. I wonder how that went. We might try that with a couple plants; and I also like using the hanging planters. I have plenty of those left over from flowers.
The idea of putting basil in the top is also a good idea, but I'm wondering if the tomatoes growing upright after a while would shade out the basil. Do you know?
Hmmm, actually don't think she needs Idol, after seeing those pics, Playboy will be calling her,
x
If you can upload your pics, share with us your pooches and kitties!!! nm

Looking at holiday pics, I am so disappointed in my double chin. sm
Any ideas how to get rid of this fat bag around my chin/neck area? Do you just have to lose a lot of weight for it to decrease? I am obese at 180 lbs, 5Ɗ". But boy it just looks horrible in pics. It bothers me more than the actual overall weight does. Guess diet is in for my New Years's resolutions........
Hayseed how do you crop your pics? I'd like to add to the collection of animal angels here.
Or can I send you mine and you'll do it for me, pretty please? 
Adult photos are legal. FBI stepped in because the sicko had pics of a minor.

On the internet I always do this...
I go to "Page" then "text size" then select "largest." It doesn't work on most pages, but it makes Google much larger, which definitely makes it much easier to read. That's all I can tell you though. I don't know how to make it zoom permanently.
Look on internet about --sm
Synthroid. There are all kinds of comments on there about how ineffective it is for SOME people why are hypothyroid. It also has a very short shelf life and what you get may be old and not help you much. I much prefer Armour thyroid, as it also has T3 hormone in it, where Synthroid does not. A lot of docs who do not know much about hypothyroidism say that you don't need T3, but my feelings are that if the body makes it, you need it for something, whether the doctors think so or not. The same goes for T1 and T2. Armour is not the answer to everything. I don't believe any supplement can fully make up for what your body can't produce any longer, but it helps more than Synthroid does. Only you can tell after you have been taking the medication for a while. Listen to your body and not what some doctors tell you or what other people tell you. Watch your symptoms and see how well the medication relieves those. Do some research on your own, as well. Some doctors do not think this is a very serious problem and kind of poo-poo what you tell them. They also just give you a pill and think you will be okay. That is not always the case.
Internet shopping
Does anyone else who works from home use the internet for most of their shopping or to surf the web during work? I had a MT service owner who complained to me that he had a hard time getting his "girls" to work since implementing the internet - that they spent their work time on QVC or HSN. I never thought about going to other sites (other than for references) while working, but apparently this is a big pull for some of us - I just can't imagine having time to shop while trying to work.
Go to Soapcity on the internet
and it will give you a daily update. Nick will probably not show up for at least another week or so. When they wrote in his death he hadn't resigned with the shot yet and they write most of the storylines about 4-6 week in advance.
Internet usage
From what I have read, their policy relates to donwloads, says it is equal to downloading 4 full-length videos per day before it is considered"excessive usage." I asked my employer about it and was told it would not affect us as all we do is exchange info with our servers. So unless you do a lot of actual dowloading, it should have no effect.
Talking over the Internet
My daughter's got a friend who is in Russia for the summer. I've heard there's a program you can download that lets you talk over the Internet using a web cam and a head set, and you can circumvent long-distance phone charges. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks!
Talking over the internet
I would Google "Magic Jack" and "Skype". Those are 2 that I know of. Magic Jack is easy to install on your computer and costs either $39.95 or $19.95 PER YEAR. I believe skype is free. I have a couple friends that use Magic Jack and love it.
internet love scams
My dad passed away almost a year ago, and my mother was devastated. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in a few more months. Dad passed in April 2006 and their anniversary was in June. My mom went through many emotions, understandably so, shock, anger, depression, anger, depression, anger....You get the picture. Anyway, a few months ago she started playing around with online "dating" services where she met many people but how can you know anyone is who they say they are online? Anyway, she "met" several men friends, and they were all younger. My mother is almost 71 but she only goes for the younger men profiles. I don't know why she won't be realistic and seek out someone closer to her age. I've tried to tell her that she needs to be realistic and younger men (I'm talking men in their 40s and 50s) can only possibly want one thing from an older woman, and that would be money. My mother has no money but she doesn't let these guys know this. She has met many men, and during a "relationship" with each one she just knew "this was the one." Then something would happen to "break them up." I don't know what happens between them, and I don't see their conversations, but I do know that my mother takes everything for face value, i.e., when they tell her they love her, she believes them! Now this is only 2 days of talking via IM that the guy says he loves my mother. To make a long story short, her latest claimed to be only 47 years old. After 2 days he told her he loved her. He also told her he was German and needed American citizenship and asked her to marry him. She was SO excited. You can't believe how happy she was. At that point my sister and I started doing some investigating and found out this guy has several different profiles using different names, different age, different height/weight, but was crazy enough to use the same picture for each one, the one he sent my mother, that's how we "caught" him. He had her believing everything he said. He promised her everything in the world. But he would never give her his phone # or address. He was very evasive, always avoiding giving any information. My mother gave him her address though! My sister and I couldn't believe she did that! He sent her a pair of slippers, a size 10!!! He didn't ask her size, just sent her some blue slippers, size 10. She told him they were too big and he told her he would wear them, that she could just send them to him. This is just all so bizarre to my sister and I, but my mother STILLdoesn't see the harm in it. We finally told her the information we found and she was very upset, but still tending not to believe us. But before this guy happened, actually there was one before him who wrote mom for about 2 weeks, then said he was going to take a business trip to Afica and taking his 6-year-old son with him. After he was "gone" for about 3 days he IM'd my mother and told her he needed $600 to feed his child. My mother refused (thank goodness) and he got angry and asked her if she wanted his child to starve in Africa. He then told her if she would send him $2500 he could fly home to see her. They'd never met. He claimed to live in NC. This was before the one above who sent her the slippers. You would have thought she would have learned her lesson with the 'africa' guy, but she didn't. She STILL believes this guy's name was really what he said it was and she still believes he went to Africa on a business trip and that he has a 6-year-old son. So I think she still believes this other guy is who he said he was, but she was so upset that she said she wasn't going to go near her computer for several days. This was yesterday morning. By yesterday afternoon she was back on and chatting with ANOTHER younger man who told her he lives in Pennsylvania. He's in his 50s. What can I do to help her understand that there are REAL scammers out there? She gets very angry with me and my sister and tells us she's 70 years old, she thinks she can take care of herself. But she is also very naive about worldly matters which is obvious because she believes everything these people are telling her. I know i"ve jumped around and back and forth with this information, I'm just very frustrated and scared for my mother. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
remember you have RECONNECTED via internet.....
Unless, of course, you're looking to maximally change your life after 41 years...........and all will be affected..........
Remember, it's a rarity about going backwards in life...and you *think* you're in love via the web........wait til you see him and nothing is as you were told..........
and why is he STAG now after 41 years? hmmmm? *curious question that requires no answer to me at least*
best of luck but don't hold your breath..........I HAVE met people from online...........tis really better in REAL TIME, ya know?!
internet love scams
I have another question about my mother's situation. If she gets married again (I hope that isn't going to happen, at least not for a long time), she now gets my dad's benefits since he passed, but if she were to remarry doesn't that kick her benefits from SS back down to her previous amount that she was getting before my dad passed? Back to the marriage thing, I don't mind if she remarries at all, just as long as she meets someone and they have time to get to know each other, and hopefully not some online love scam that he's just out for her money. We just want her to be happy. Thanks again y'all.

happy ex-internet dater
I am lucky...I never thought I would use an internet site for dating but I was bored one day and tried it. I met someone by chance and never thought anything would come of it, he lived in the Northeast and I lived in the South so I thought it improbable....turns out we immediately it it off, had everything in common and it was like I couldnt have made a list of the things that I wanted that would fit more perfectly. I'm happy to say we have been living together a year and a half and we both couldnt be happier . There are a lot of crazy people out there so just be careful how you handle anything internet related. All stories arent as happy as mine!!
My internet address bar disappeared . . .
all I have is Google and mywebsearch. Anybody know how to get it back?
Thanks
When calling up my internet yesterday
playing over and over and over the picture of this mad man in different poses. I can understand why so many of the family and friends upset today with the media. Hubs made mention of every channel playing but I just keep watching fluff and not because I didn’t care, just because I know my heart and it would just break too much. The television channels were wrong in the fact they allowed this thing to have his 15 minutes.
My, my..what interesting info on the Internet.
Just on a whim, I googled my ex's name (which also happens to be our son's name). Lo and behold, something popped up which had me giggling like mad - my son's name and his long-time girlfriend & mother of his son - under marriage licenses. They had gotten married on his birthday about 6-7 weeks ago, and never told me!
The internet is such a wonderful resource...

It was actually the screen name that initially caught my attention. It was the name of one of my favorite albums from a guitarist I admire. And the rest, as they say, is history
i find my internet security

Good freeware internet filter for
Anyone know of a good Freeware (can't afford Cybersitter, Net Nanny etc.) application for a PC that can block websites and even set a schedule as to when the user can get online? Perhaps even when
they can access their profile (lock them out).

yeah, i've been looking up stuff on the internet sm
and they recommend putting in a temporary color that is close to your natural color. i've been getting gray hair since my 20s (22 y/o first gray hair). i'm going to be 36 next month and i have more gray hair than my 55 y/o mom. i'm not ready to be gray, but i'm tired of keeping up with the color. my hair grows fast (or at least it seems like it). hubby likes the blonde look on me, but i'm just not crazy about it.
thanks for the advice!
Have a fave internet game for when you have some down time? (ya, sure...)

Actually I guess all the internet companies are going to be doing the same thing. nm
:
Internet and cell phones - I remember before (sm)
I was a secretary in the late 80s for a medical association...I had to make up and send out hundreds of "meeting packets" to the doctors who were going to attend every month's meeting. Pages and pages of copies, colating and stapling them, addressing every FedEx label...it was an all day job, sometimes two days. Now you could just do a mass email and send it to all of them in 5 minutes. Amazes me every time I think about it. I also used to keep a monthly calendar of accredited events doctors could attend and had to mail that out to everyone...now, that can all just be put on a website to be viewed by anyone who needs it.
The cell phone thing though...other than being really glad I have it when I have car trouble or something, I'd rather not be tied to my phone like that. It is as though everyone expects you to be available all the time. I don't answer mine most of the time and call back if I need to.
You can watch full episodes on the internet.

Adam is all over the internet with his own French kissing but
not with a member of the opposite sex. Oh-la-la
anyone have Charter internet and phone service? sm
We live in the country and no fast speed internet is available until now. Charter has fast speed internet and telephone (and cable, but we are staying with Dish Network). I'm so excited about this! I've been working at home for 10 years now and never had anything but dial up. I've heard their customer service stinks. Anyone have experience with either service?
Thanks!
