Stefan Is... diving into Live Search API 2.0 (Episode 003)
Download this episode
You asked to go deeper, we listened. Stefan and I met with Roopali from the Live Search team.
We had a high-level discussion about the 2nd Pillar in project "Silk Road": the Live Search API 2.0. This is the very same back end used for some little known websites… like Facebook, heard of it?
We'll circle back to Pillars 1 and 3 in future sessions, so stay tuned and keep on rockin'.

The Discussion
The thing I like the best about the API is that it integrates relevant information into a single response. This video brings this concept out clearly.
I loved the Hotmail Demo; That sure is "Hotness". Having access to information within the same browser session is amazing.
What came to my mind was 'is it possible to include driving directions into the side panel too, so i could just drag and drop a link to the directions?
@George, I think map option is also being made available to US , UK on trial basis.
I am in India and getting only Restaurants, Images, Videos and Business listings in the Quick Add options. Maps and Movies are not available here.
@Roopali/ Stefan /Max from the user point of view, why Restaurants and Business Listings options are not working here in India? Search does not return any results for these. Is it also location based and only available to certain areas?
Here only Image and Videos option works.
I thought these options have been made available worldwide.
Hi George,
Thanks for your feedback. Regarding your question on whether we can provide driving directions in the quick add pane - I think its a very good idea and will be something we will consider for a future release.
- Roopali
Hi Niner,
I am interested in knowing more about the kinds of queries that are not returning any results for restaurants and business listings and the location in India you are running these queries from.
Can you mail these details to me at roopalik at microsoft dot com? This will help us debug the issue and see where the problem is.
Thanks for your help!

Sir David Tang, founder of ICorrect, globetrotter and the man about too many towns to mention, divides his time between homes in Hong Kong, mainland China and London. Here he invites readers' queries for his advice on property, interiors, etiquette at home (wherever you live), parties and anything else that may be bothering you.
What does one do when an extra guest turns up for a sit-down dinner, either because of an admin error or through another guest bringing along someone extra?
Once Sir Philip Green and Richard Caring asked me to bring "Boris" to dinner, when they meant Boris Johnson, and I genuinely thought they meant Boris Berezovsky. On the night I was late, and a short bald Russian oligarch, instead of a spiky-haired tall Caucasian, turned up at Sir Philip's pad. To give him his due, he welcomed his surprise guest, possibly because of the two rather burly bodyguards in tow. By the time I arrived, we had realised the comedy of errors for which Evelyn Waugh could not have written a better Scoop if he had tried! We dined together as if nothing had happened, even if I glimpsed a few contorted faces from my hosts. But full marks to them for playing the entire pantomime out with real style.
The climax of the evening came when I eventually took Berezovsky off the premises, who then asked me, "Who were those two people?" Green was heard laughing aloud for a whole day afterwards. I did produce Boris Johnson at a subsequent dinner. Needless to say, we all chuckled non-stop. The exemplary lesson from Green is to keep calm, and just improvise on the cameo surprise. The trick is to achieve accommodation as an acrobatic host and not to become a whinger who doesn't rise to the social challenge.
My wife is an avid user of Facebook. An acquaintance of ours who lives abroad is moving to London, and sent a round-robin e-mail to a number of attractive women, saying "he was moving to London, and would they like to meet for coffee?" Amusingly for us, as we know this guy quite well, one of these women was my wife. She is at a bit of a loss as to what to reply.
Your wife should send the following reply, also as a round-robin: "My husband and I would be delighted to meet you for a quick cup of coffee when you come to London. But please do not pretend to be friendly to my husband and wink at me like an Ovidian lover, because I will never have an affair with you. I am also circulating this to warn all of my girlfriends and your prospective female friends." I think this circular will well prepare him for London.
What is the protocol that one should follow in speaking first at dinner to the lady on your left or right? When should you change to the other side without just dropping the first person to whom you spoke? And what do you do if the person on the other side of her is not following the same rule as you?
Who do you think you are? The Duke of Edinburgh? The duke must have eaten 100,000 formal dinners during his 65 years of marriage. So he would have an understandable excuse to oscillate mechanically in a half-pendulum between his adjacent guests. But you are not the Duke of Edinburgh, and therefore you should really concentrate on the quality of your conversation rather than its length.
Politeness always comes with a bit of effort, and an implicit duty of yours as a dinner guest is to amuse your fellow companions. So never start off with pedestrian questions like "What does your husband do?", or "How many children do you have?" Once you ignite such a boring wick, you are bound to spiral into an abyss of bourgeois tedium. Always surprise your guests with a provocative question. A woman once said to Henry Kissinger, "I am told that you are a fascinating man. Fascinate me." So imagine how you would respond if you were Henry Kissinger.
Once you get an amusing conversation going, you would not have to worry about how much time you have to spend on either side. I once sat between Barbara Black and Joan Collins but didn't have enough time to go through their combined husbands.

The lesser of two vices
A Martian flying past Earth on holiday might be forgiven for believing that the head of a human is always perched at 45 degrees to the shoulder, and that a lot of them love being huddled together with smoke coming off their fingers.
The alien is of course observing two phenomena of our modern so-called civilised life: first, the reading of the BlackBerry and iPhone; and second, the gathering of defiant smokers continuing to enjoy spiritual sustenance with tobacco, which provides the UK government with £4bn worth of tax every year.
I always lay a bet against myself on arrival in a plane on the number of people I see who don't automatically take out their BlackBerries and iPhones and start reading and typing. Usually, I go for a modest 10-20 per cent, but lately I have been losing. I rarely see anyone who does not engage with their electronic device at the moment they get up from their seat in the cabin. It is as if a dog had been shut up in a cage for hours and is desperate to seek relief.
The more astonishing sight is how everyone continues to work on their pocket machines after leaving the plane, walking towards immigration and customs. Can all of these people have urgent things to do? Or emergencies to respond to? Can none of them wait? Can none of them resist?
In the car, of course, they carry on looking down into their palms and even when they are getting out on to the curb, half struggling with their wheelie, they won't let go of their BlackBerry or iPhone. At every possible moment of waiting, even in between sentences at the reception of a hotel or en route to one's room, the modern man or woman seems to be sewn on to their tiny screen.
Even in concert halls, theatres and cinemas, BlackBerries and iPhones are not only ubiquitous but ubiquitously lit. The trouble with this is that you can't even tell them to shut up because they are not talking but just looking, irritatingly with a shining face!
At meal times nowadays, there are always drooped heads scanning for messages and typing replies, paying little attention to those sitting round the table. I am now reduced to using my own BlackBerry to remind those sitting across the table with me that I wouldn't mind a little conversation. My wife sits up in bed with her tablet in one hand and the other stroking our dogs, while paying her husband scant attention.
To attract it, I always have to light up a Havana, usually a double corona for maximum effect, so that she will at least use one of her hands to wave a disdainful complaint, screwing up her face and barking at me for being hugely inconsiderate. At that point, I usually have to remind her that part of the reason of my marrying her was because she smoked. Now that she has given up, I am not sure if it is not force majeure, giving rise to grounds for divorce. But of course I will be crippled without my wife!
The question for me is how we can curb the use of the BlackBerry and iPhone and revert to the days when smoking is not regarded as a felony. I fear, however, that only more and more people will charge on, like the Light Brigade, with the use of the BlackBerry and iPhone, while those of us who enjoy smoking will be further ostracised to the point of having to hide in order to savour that glorious nicotine substance that had stimulated the likes of Schubert and Einstein and Churchill.

No big adventures today - just a very scenic drive back from Jasper to Banff for the opening engagements of the reunion (dinner with our branch of the family tree before the main event in Calgary tomorrow).
We never saw any wildlife outside of the town limits, which kind of suprised us as the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) is supposed to be one of the best game viewing drives in the region. Oh well.
Some of the highlights:
As I mentioned the only game we saw was 3 muley does inside the town of Banff. And I mean RIGHT inside the town. Imagine looking out your bedrooom window ans seeing this:
Tomorrow morning we're heading out looking for a decent muley (they fascinate me, next to elk I think they're my favourite big game animal), and then it's off to Calgary to wade in the gene pool again.
I have to say I definitely prefer Jasper to Banff - it's much more laid back and less prententious than this tourist trap of a town.

U.K. Stocks Rise as Bernanke Signals Continued Stimulus
U.K. stocks advanced for a third time this week after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the world's largest economy still needs stimulus measures.
Fresnillo Plc surged 10 percent, as a gauge of London-listed commodity producers rose the most in two months. Balfour Beatty Plc (BBY) gained 4.7 percent after it said full-year results would be in line with expectations. Associated British Foods Plc (ABF) added 6.2 percent as third-quarter sales increased.
The FTSE 100 Index (UKX) added 70.51 points, or 1.1 percent, to 6,575.47 at 8:48 a.m. in London. The gauge has risen 3.1 percent so far this week after Alcoa Inc. started the U.S. earnings-reporting season with results that beat analysts' estimates. The FTSE All-Share Index gained 1 percent today, while Ireland's ISEQ Index advanced less than 0.1 percent.
Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee's June 18-19 meeting released yesterday in Washington showed "many members indicated that further improvement in the outlook for the labor market would be required before it would be appropriate to slow the pace of asset purchases." The Fed is buying $85 billion of Treasuries and mortgage debt each month as part of its quantitative easing program.
"Highly accommodative monetary policy for the foreseeable future is what's needed in the U.S. economy," Bernanke said yesterday in response to a question after a speech in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Two nights at this B&B, a wonderful experience. Laura gave us a warm welcome and right from the beginning of our stay we felt at home. Laura is a thoughtful host who wishes her guest to feel comfortable, so we did. The room has a pleasant size for two people with a little sitting area and a separate corner with fridge and microwave. All is furnished with good taste and care. The bathroom facilities are very good. Everything is very clean and it is a joy to stay overnight. In the morning Laura prepares a breakfast where nothing has to be missed, a perfect start for outside activities in and around Flagstaff. To summarize; Whispering Pines Inn is a wonderful place to stay and Laura is a lovely person and host. We loved it and highly recommend this B&B. Thank you, Eugen and Marja (travellers from The Netherlands)

It was an amazing weekend. Laura is a gem of a person. This was our first time with bed and breakfast and we were skeptical but the experience was just wonderful. the room was so tastefully decorated with each small thing unique and beautiful. Laura cooks amazing breakfast. Her welcome with wine of our choice and chocolate covered strawberries and home cooked chocolates was amazing. To top it all, everything including downtown etc is quite close by. We are definitely staying here again.

What a fantastic place to stay! The attention to detail Laura has put into her home is amazing from the homemade quilt on the bed, to the bottle of wine and chocolate covered strawberries, plus all the beautiful lotions and potions in the bathroom. We must also mention the fantastic breakfast wow!!!!! The homemade quiche was absolutely delicious plus the fresh fruits and all the other goodies washed down with a huge selection of teas and coffees. We only wish we could've stayed a few more nights. We will definitely be back! Gill & Adrian, UK

Our stay here was perfect; we couldn't have asked for anything more! My wife and I were looking for a couple of days away from Phoenix, where we live and work. The owner took great care of us, laying out a wonderful breakfast every morning. Our room was warm, inviting, and comfortable. It had a big TV with premium channels and free Wi-Fi (if these are important to you). The bathroom was clean with many different toiletry options, and plenty of towels. There was also a small fridge with plenty of water, a microwave, and plenty of closet space. The living room has a nice fireplace to sit by and relax. Historic downtown Flagstaff is five minute drive away with great options to eat and drink. Also, highly recommend visiting Walnut Canyon, a national monument which is ten minutes away. To top it all, this B&B was very affordable. It trumps a chain hotel any time. You won't be disappointed!

Watch Big Hero 6
Sometimes the hero you get is not the hero you expect, and in the case of Big Hero 6 this is certainly the case. Big Hero 6 features the very first partnership between Marvel Comics and Walt Disney Pictures. It features the superhero team and is completely done in 3D computer animation. The film stars a young robotic genius named Hiro Hamada voiced by Ryan Potter and his robot/hero Baymax who is voiced by Scott Adsit. Baymax is unique given the fact that he is inflatable, leading to a long host of bubble jokes and similar self-deprecating humor. Hiro built Baymax to be a healthcare companion; therefore, Baymax is always looking at how he can help others. Even though he is a robot it is clear that he feels and cares.
The pair accidentally discover a criminal plot and decide that they have to do something about it. They do so by putting together a mismatched group of crime-fighters. The dynamics of the oddball group lend as much to the humor as does the plot line propelling the film along and making it fun for the entire family.

Here's a sad fact: 2014 is a year without a scheduled Pixar movie. But thanks to Disney and Marvel, we have the next best thing. In fact, "Big Hero 6" might prove that Disney is the new Pixar.

The first official full trailer for the Disney/Marvel animated feature gives a good preview of what kind of movie you're going to get with "Big Hero 6.

Retailers have urged the Chancellor, George Osborne, to abandon planned tax increases, saying he needs to "take urgent action" to support the embattled sector and grow the economy.
Ahead of the Government's Autumn statement tomorrow, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) demanded the Treasury abandon the increases to fuel tax planned for next year and keep business rates and the minimum wage "under control". The body also warned the Government against springing any surprise taxes after last year's £1bn carbon reduction commitment.
The demands were published as part of a report commissioned by the BRC studying "retailing's importance to kick-starting growth and job creation". This comes in a month where a series of retailers have come under pressure.
Stephen Robertson, the BRC's director-general, said: "We're not a sector that asks for handouts but the Chancellor must take urgent action to support, not undermine, the retail growth that can drive the recovery."
He added: "Eighteen months in, with the economy stalling, the need for the Government to deliver real growth – not just more promises – is all the more urgent."
Fears for the sector are growing ahead of the crucial final weeks of Christmas trading. Last week Blacks Leisure became the latest retailer to warn on profits. The outdoor retail specialist saw its shares plunge to an all-time low of 3.75p on Friday, and analysts estimated it would need to raise a further £20m.
A day earlier Arcadia, the owner of Topshop run by Sir Philip Green, said full-year profits had fallen 38 per cent to £133.1m. The group, which also includes Bhs and Dorothy Perkins, could close up to 260 stores over the next three years, as leases expire.
The BRC's latest retail market figures showed sales "flatlining", with the largest drop in footfall since the blizzards of last December. There are now 23,000 fewer jobs in the sector than a year ago.
Mr Robertson said the Chancellor "must control the costs he is responsible for – in particular next year's threatened fuel duty and business rates rises – and make it easier and more affordable for retailers to resume job creation".
The report, drawn up by Oxford Economics and the Oxford Institute of Retail Management, found that retailers delivered sales of £292bn in 2010, about a fifth of gross domestic product.
Retailers also employ just over 10 per cent of all those in jobs and 40 per cent of those under 20. The lobby group pointed out that retailers made a "substantial" contribution of £18bn a year to the Exchequer. The BRC said the findings showed that goods in UK shops were 5 per cent cheaper than in the Eurozone, with clothes 20 per cent lower.
The BRC slammed the "Red Tape Challenge", saying it "so far has failed to deliver any significant de-regulation".
Taxes and turmoil
British companies want the Chancellor to focus on slashing taxes to boost growth. More than half of the tax professionals surveyed by the accountant PwC believe the tax regime needs to be made more attractive, although many admitted the biggest barrier to growth was the turmoil in the global economy. Alex Henderson, a tax partner at PwC, said: "Economic turmoil is building anticipation ahead the Chancellor's Autumn Statement. There's a sense that 'something must be done' to get people spending and the economy moving. Tax cuts may provide the fastest route."
Of those surveyed by PwC, 27 per cent believe George Osborne should consider cutting VAT or income tax to lift spending. Almost 30 per cent believe the focus should be on attracting enterprise and talent to the UK.
Many companies believe the provision of credit should be a focus in tomorrow's statement, and almost a quarter were calling for red tape to be reduced.
Mr Henderson said: "Lack of credit and red tape are undoubtedly major issues for British business, but these problems are particularly acute for smaller and mid-sized firms, where they can make the difference between success or failure."

The French all seem to have one thing in common: perfect skin. Maybe it's in their genes, but we suspect their savvy skincare regimes deserve equal credit. Behold this moisturizer, which hasn't been available stateside until now. It's made with an all-natural blend of botanicals to leave skin smooth and matte.
I really like the lightweight feel of this product and it's moisturizing capabilities. I did find that it gummed up a bit when used over toner, but have thus included it in my nighttime regime instead. The scent is pleasant, and the results are desirable and pretty uncommon among moisturizers in my experience.5

BY: Follow @Kredo0
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is in Iran for high-level talks with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei about boosting Tehran's supply of submarines, torpedoes, and sea-based cruise missiles, according to Russian media reports and sources familiar with details of the talks.
Shoigu, whose trip is being kept quiet with few details being released publicly, landed in Tehran on Monday to talk with Iranian leaders about "increasing defense cooperation and arms trade with the Islamic republic," the Moscow Times reported.
The talks will focus on Iran's desire to purchase from Russia a slew of advanced military hardware that would significantly boost Tehran's sea power, particularly in the Gulf of Oman, according to one source familiar with the substance of the talks.
The arms deal talks also come a day after Iranian military leaders claimed that they have the ability to sink U.S. aircraft carriers.
Iran and Russia have been strengthening their military ties for quite some time. Moscow is largely responsible for Iran's nuclear infrastructure and has provided the Islamic Republic with much of its missile arsenal.
The latest talks are a sign that both countries aim to maintain the relationship, particularly as Russia helps Iran build several new nuclear reactors in the southern portion of the country.
"Iran gets a lot of military advice and missile equipment from the Russians," said Michael Ledeen, an Iran expert and former consultant to the National Security Council (NSC), State Department, and Defense Department.
However, "the bulk of that stuff nowadays seems to have to do with sea power, and it's delivered across the Caspian Sea," said Ledeen, who has been in contact with Iranian sources familiar with the latest negotiations with Russia.
Iran is seeking to fortify its military edge in the Gulf of Oman and could employ Russian-made missiles as a deterrent to the United States and other nations present there.
In meetings with Khamenei and other Iranian leaders, Russia's Shoigu is likely to discuss arming Tehran with new submarines, torpedoes, cruise missiles, and sea-to-sea arms, according to Ledeen, a freedom scholar for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
"Those are the things the Russians and Iranians will be talking about, and it's obviously a very important meeting because [Shoigu] is scheduled to see Khamenei himself," Ledeen said.
These talks are "very important" to both Moscow and Tehran as they seek to bolster their alliance.
"After all," said Ledeen, "the Iranian nuclear program is basically a Russian program: Russian reactors, Russian equipment. They're the ones who make it all possible. So Iranian military power is heavily dependent on Russia technology, Russian advisers, and Russian counsel."
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced last week that Iran has begun construction on two new nuclear reactors with Russia's assistance.
Following the announcement, the U.S. State Department told the Washington Free Beacon that Iran is permitted to pursue these nuclear reactors under the terms of an interim nuclear deal meant to curb Iran's contested program.
The State Department's revelation elicited harsh criticism on Capitol Hill and from other proponents of a tougher U.S. stance against Iran's nuclear program.
Meanwhile, Iranian naval commander Ali Fadavi, a member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), bragged that Tehran has the ability to sink U.S. aircraft carriers.
"The U.S. military officials have admitted in their remarks that they have spent $13 [billion] for building aircraft carriers, but the IRCG can sink it with its speed boats," Fadavi claimed.
Ledeen said these comments speak directly to Iran's desire to boost their power in the sea.
"Their long term objective is to destroy us, and they say that all the time," he said. "So long as we have an administration that's not inclined to do anything in response, they're going to keep it up. They're going to speed ahead."

Toilet Built For Two
May 26th, 2010
For Mom, it's all about those quiet moments.
(submitted by KP at http://www.iusedtobestupid.com/)
For Mom, it's all about those quiet moments.
(submitted by KP at http://www.iusedtobestupid.com/)
Did someone just give up?
I don't get it… the sister is wearing pants though.
I have to admit this one is a classic! LOL funny but also so real! I can so remember the life of a harried mom with a kind-of wild uninhibited, kid. This kind of youngster is always in some form of disguise… Anyone that has raised a boy knows that you don't sweat the small stuff and you grab some down time whenever the opportunity provides it.
She is probably taking a moment to escape and recharge while reading a great love story or a mystery. She might as well take a quick break while she waits for the water to run in the tub. Anyone knows that kids need to use the toilet before they bathe! If you have ever had to clean out a bath tub of anything other than # 1! And that sweet little girl is helping mom out. I can just hear her, "I'll watch him mom. I'll set right here and hold him so he has to do his business and he won't get away."
The floor tile looks just like the tile in my entry way. It was there when we bought the house, 15 years ago, and just this year was replaced. Some people worry too much about décor when all most of us should be worrying about is lovin' your spouse, and kids, making sure they have the stuff they need and college money put aside.
The fact that the scale is in front of the door makes it obvious that behind that door is a closet. The kid's clothes are on the sink, and she has on a plastic apron, 'cuz that kid is in disguise and it looks like the disguise is either a tiger or a savage. Tigers and savages are not easily subdued into taking bathes, and when they do, it is one wet slippery mess.
Granted the room was not planned out very well, but the toilet paper is the only place it can be. I don't think that it could be put on the ceramic tub, the other side of the toilet is a closet door, and the wall on the other side of the closet is too far away too reach. If you put it behind the stool, everybody would be breaking their arms trying to get some. I'd rather have the kids wiping themselves with damp TP then have them think that it's too much of a bother and not use it at all.
There is supposed to be a shower curtain on an oval shaped rod that goes around the whole tub. That would prevent the TP from getting wet, but the dad has not gotten to that job yet – Another real life situation.
YES a classic in every sense of the word!
You're in this picture somewhere, aren't you? Go on, it's okay. You can tell us. &:)
I think that's a mask, but after seeing the strangeness that permeates this photo, it wouldn't surprise me if that was the kid's real head.
Why is the mom wearing a plastic apron?!?!? Yikes – WTH?!?!?! hahahahaha
That's my thought, too. Mom seems prepared for something messy with that plastic apron. She's a little too prepared. I think she's been in this situation before. That's even more disturbing.
That is so funny!!!
Fist off, best photo ever….use the think the term "spit my coffee" was symbolic until this flashed on the screen. 2 questions though, what is the white square thingy on the floor to the right of the toilet? And what is a mini orange chair (way to the right) doing in the bathroom?
Oh my, I was worried at first that this was my picture, then I realised that the kid in front was a boy and we were both like 3. Me and my sis raced to the bathroom and weren't willing to ler the other win, thats when grandma comes over saying awww and takes a pic.. I wonder how often this happens, I thought it was only us.
Happy Freakin' Mother's Day!!
That is the most beautiful pink tile I have ever seen. And the ugliest floor. All in one awkward bathroom!
What is that brown thing in front of the wooden door on the right side of the pic? It looks like a monkey holding a bag of 8 O'Clock coffee. Although given everything else in the picture, that might not be so odd after all.
We had no shower curtain on our tub – bath-only house! It was okay, except after the beach.
This is the best photo I've ever seen – I wish we could see Mom's face.
can't even begin to wrap my mind around all of the wrongness in this pic….
Best Pic EVER.
So funny. I see this pic and I think "autism." Autism would explain it all. If there are any other moms of special kids out there, you'll know what I mean. Love my funny little guy!
Love how the toilet paper is strategically placed so it is much harder for someone on the throne to reach it than someone in the tub…
Maybe the tile setters broke some and disguised that by putting the TP there. They tried that with my parents' tub.
This site as me busting at the seams. I am surpised however, this is the only "one" bathroom picture. I laughed at most of this pictures on this site, thinking of all the pictures my parents took of us growing up, on the toilet, in the bath. I thought all families took pix there. LOL. I might send you some, if I can prey those pix away from my mother.
Does anybody else think the mom is wearing this white garbage bag apron thing?
Mom is studying for her LSAT and just doesn't have time to worry about all this domestic crap.
If you have to study for the LSAT, forget law school. The reasoning ability tested on the LSAT should come naturally or law school will be very difficult and legal practice will be impossible.
The funny thing about this picture is that you could cut it in half, with Mom on one side and the kids on the other, and each half would be awkward all by itself. We're getting two for the price of one!
I have to say, this is my favorite awkward photo so far.
Can't anyone ever KNOCK before busting in on two kids on a toilet and mom on the tub and someone taking a picture of it?
Who the heck puts toilet paper so close to the tub? doesn't it get wet???
Hmm – somehow I think that is the lease of these people's problems. When two kids have to use the same toilet AT THE SAME TIME, we got bigger problems, dude. Way bigger problems.
Love it. This is the epitome of awkward. Good job AFP.
The girl and the boy on the toilet reminds me a little of the scene in Ghost, only instead of a pottery lesson….
….it's a POTTY lesson 😉
Why is there a loaf of Wonder Bread in the corner? And by the way, Zukimac, it's a good thing the girl DOES have pants on or it would go from just plain weird to completely sick.
When I first saw this, it was shockingly awkward. Then I had a flashback to bathtime/bedtime when my kids were little. It was always at the end of the day (usually a very long day) and the woman sitting on the tub reading a book is so true to life. So, yes the picture which is a snippet in time is terribly awkward….but I agree with the other comments that the situation itself was pretty normal. Althouth the mask is kinda strange.
By the way, why does the girl have pants on?
Pink tiles on the wall and gold patterned tiles on the floor? These kids must be so proud to have grown up in a home that their Mother was very particular about, especially her taste in bathroom decor. ~~~ By the way what the heck is the kid in the mask doing with his right hand? Is this why the Mom is wearing a plastic apron?
It would be nice to have the money to redo a bathroom all at once. Notice how much surface is covered with pink tile? Yeah, I could pick vinyl flooring that matches the tile better, but Martha Stuart doesn't live here and isn't paying for it. I can sympathize with that Mom living with ugly but not liking it. Once, the floor matched the tile. Then the kids ruined it with water on the floor, so the vinyl had to be replaced. It's going to happen again, so don't bother with expensive flooring.
I don't know…I think this one should have been kept in a book. There were eight of us and only one bathroom. Ours never looked like this.
Well, I sure know why this toilet needs four bolts to hold it to the floor, instead of the usual two.
OMG, that's exactly what I was focusing on. The four bolt toidy, and jr's filthy dirty socks!
that's not a toliet it's a carnival ride! the additional bolts are for safety
Looks like Mom's Playgirl Magazine arrived in the mail today!
That is one awkward bathroom… in our house the toilet paper would be wet all the time.
Agreed. Toilet right next to the tub? TP holder over the tub? Looks like multiple doors. No shower curtain.
What's distrubing to me is that someone actually took a picture of that!
If I was dad, and I walked in on this, you can bet that I'd be running for my camera.
LMAO ditto!
what disturbs me is that Mom is in an apron and there is a pizza box on the floor next to the toilet…..and about a dozen other "wrong" things. Eeewwww
I think that is a scale, not a pizza box. Which would make a lot more sense. Although, not much else makes a lot of sense in this picture.
I'm just wondering why there aooears to be a bag of hot dog buns on the scale…?
My explanation: Boy's getting ready to take a bath….which is why mom's in there and wearing an apron (or maybe she's getting ready to dye someone's hair and is reading instructions?) and suddenly he realizes he really needs to go before he gets in the tub…which is why he's stripped down to only his socks. Sister decides to tease him by sitting on the toilet to prevent him going (why she's still wearing pants). Boy says to heck with it, I'm going anyway. Once he sits down, Sister can't get out. Mom's so caught up in figuring out dye instructions she doesn't pay any attention to what's going on. Dad walking by sees all the action and takes the picture.
busy much ?
Great explanation! Now, if you could clarify what happened on Lost, I'd be ever so grateful.
Trish, I love it! Perhaps this is a flash-sideways, in an alternate reality . . . .
Mom is reading the instructions manual.
"Now that the children are comfortably seated,it is time to wait for the audible sound of the next sequence….this will be SPERLASH or MOM, I'M FINNNISSHED"
Little boy was smart enough to cover his face and privates in case the photo ever made it on the internet. No blackmail photo to haunt him later.
Maybe they are pretending the toilet is a motorcycle or something
Then why would he be naked?
Look! That little boys socks are dingy…
They're probably stained, and they'll never be white again. As the mother of 2 boys, the socks are not unusual. Might be time for new ones though.
Mom was running the tub for little brother's bath and at the same time helping sister study for a test. Sister had parked on the toilet but little brother insisted he be allowed to sit on the throne, too, while he waited for his bath. The chaos probably seems more than it was at the time…
This is the best picture of real family life I've seen on here.
Agreed!!! This is my life, right here. 🙂 I laughed out loud because this is my reality (minus the 70s floor tiles!!).
What gets me is the look on the girl's face!
exactly! WTH??
that doesn't explain the mask!
Unless this whole bathtime / studying time was happening the day before halloween?
having worked with many little boys as a nanny, sometimes it is easier to let them wear the mask/ cape/ random costume piece all year in the house in order to get them dressed appropriately for the outdoors.
Agreed with Mary, I've known several little boys who always wear a certain shirt or hat or socks, and to keep them satisfied the parents let them wear it around the house. This one happens to be a mask. Hey, if it keeps them happy..
This happens everyday at my house. I'm on my laptop while my 4-yr-old soon poops naked on the toilet. 🙂
While an older sibling sits behind him? And sometimes it is photographed? I think not. 🙂
I could so see that being my house too. And my daughter wouldn't be sitting behind my son, instead she'd be peeking in the toilet to see what he did. 😉
OK. I truly laughed out loud. I also have a 4-year old son and he does the SAME THING!!!! But he has to come running to me, describing what was in the toilet. Sometimes, he names them….
Is Mom balancing her checkbook??
I think it is one of those picture puzzles where you have to circle everything that is wrong.

Antec LanBoy Air Blue Mid Tower Chassis
Ever have one of those experiences where you walk past something, then three or four steps later your brain kicks in. As you slowly turn your head to figure out why your brain told you to stop in the first place, you again see what it was that caught your eye, surrounded in an almost angelic glow. Once you lock eyes with it, you just can't seem to look away, and you have to get closer to verify what exactly it is you are looking at. Antec is delivering exactly that today!
With more and more cases being placed in the market, it makes buying choices much tougher than they were, say even three years ago. Then there were a select few that everyone stood by as the top three or four cases you would really enjoy working in and looking at. More companies are offering Aluminum based chassis', and almost everyone has a case designed with high air flow in mind; some with and some without lighting. So what does it take these days to set yourself apart from the crowd and make heads snap back to double take on what your brain just processed?
To answer this, Antec went way back into the designing process and redesigned this chassis piece by piece from the ground up. Let me set the general tone of this design. Think of a chassis in its most basic form, almost as an Erector Set. On this basic frame, panels are made with the idea of offering the best air flow and cooling potential possible in a mid tower, and they don't stop there. Based off the name alone, this chassis needs to be able to take a few bumps and bruises along the way, and soon you will see that Antec has come up with some ingenious solutions for us to play with. Keep in mind the three key features of this new chassis. Modularity, customizability, and flexibility is what Antec took to heart as they designed the LanBoy Air.
Today we are going to be looking at the blue version of this chassis; enjoy what you are about to see!
