"I stand by my assertion that the $80K or so I spent on childcare (this doesn't count the summer-camp fees I still pay) before both my boys were in school was a straight-up awesome, measurable investment..."—Denise Schipani (@DeniseSchipani), magazine-editor–turned-freelance writer, author of the book Mean Moms Rule, and Long Island mom of two boys, in a post entitled "Why Childcare Is One of the Best Business Investments I've Made," at deniseschipani.com
Things I Googled this Week

Stories of Our Lives"Our kids loved hearing our tales this morning. Some they've heard before, some were new. But in the telling, I could see how family identity was being shaped before my eyes. We are our stories. Our stories not only reflect our culture, they shape it. A recent New York Times piece encapsulated this, highlighting current research into what makes strong, resilient families: 'The single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative.' "—Chrysula Winegar (@chrysula), on how regaling her kids—again—with the tale of her wedding day (which she describes as a "series of unfortunate events…[that made] great fodder for future family story-telling") is part of a broader family narrative; Winegar, a Fairfield County parent of four who firmly believes in the power of mothers to influence and change the world, not only shares her stories with her kids, but with us at whenyouwakeupamother.com
Juicy Fruit" …when you want your child to eat fruit, consider giving her fruit. An apple, an orange, a banana—they provide less sugar and more fiber, less sticky sweetness and more satiety. Perhaps most importantly, chomping on real fruits and vegetables will help your child consider food the right way: not as something processed and sold in plastic pouches, but as something whole and from nature—seeds and skin and bruises and all."—Melinda Wenner Moyer (@lindy2350), parenting advice columnist at Slate.com, in a post parsing the nutritional value of all those blended fruit pouches we parents stuff in our bags for on-the-go "healthy" snacks for our tots, in a post entitled "Why Suckable Fruit Sucks"; read it for some interesting insights and facts, and don't worry about being guilted—this Cold Spring mom writes with the nonjudgmental perspective of one who's "been there"

The Dainty Squid Hair Master postWednesday, August 12, 2015
For eight solid years I've been dying my hair bright, unnatural colors. Over this time I've written numerous posts about hair. I thought it might be beneficial to finally create a master post of sorts where I can link to all the important posts involving hair that I've published. I plan on keeping this post updated with links to any future hair posts I write as well.
FAQ about my hair
▴ What is your natural hair color? Dirty blonde.
▴ How often do you wash your hair? I wash my hair every day.
▴ Do you bleach your hair every time you change colors? Nope. I rarely ever apply bleach to the entire length of my hair. I normally only apply it to my roots.
▴ How often do you bleach your hair? I bleach my hair only when my roots are bad. With some colors my roots don't really bother me so much and I can go long periods without touching them up. I'd say average is a little less than once a month.
▴ How do you change colors so easily? Since I don't bleach my hair completely when changing colors I rely on letting it fade. Extra conditioning treatments, soaking in the tub, and the like so the current color is as light as possible. I just deal with the faded hair as long as possible. A lot of smoothly transitioning colors is knowing how colors work with each other. Underlying pigments effect what color your hair will end up so there are certain shades I'm not able to go to easily from some colors since I don't strip my hair completely each time. You can read more about switching hair colors in this post.
FAQ about products
▴ What bleach do you use? I swear by the Beyond the Zone Radical Bleach Kit. I've been using it since I started bleaching my hair. I do not follow the timing instructions though. After about seven minutes my hair is normally light enough to rinse. I definitely recommend keeping a close eye on how quickly it's processing your hair.
▴ What brand of hair dye do you use? The majority of my dye jobs are done with Punky Colours, which I either purchase at Ulta or on Amazon. I'm also a fan of Special Effects dyes. If I'm in a hurry, or can't find the color I'm looking at the store I'll pick up Manic Panic but in general, it's not my first choice. I've had the worst luck with Ion Color Brilliance and probably wouldn't recommend them at all. That's not to say I haven't seen some gorgeous dye jobs with that dye. Everyone's hair is different so your experiences with brands might not be the same as mine.
▴ My hair color bleeds on everything / it's all over my hands. How do you deal with this? I don't. My hair color does not bleed. I don't leave stains on anything other than my hands when my hair is wet and that's only for the first day or so. If you're dealing with a lot of staining it could be one of two things (possibly both): You didn't rinse well enough or you're not using a high quality color. I always recommend Punky Colours. (No, they don't sponsor me but boy, oh boy do I wish they did.)
Recommended reading
▴ My five must-have hair products. If I had to choose one product for my hair for the rest of my life it would be Hask Placenta. You need to be using this stuff, seriously!
▴ 7 tips for maintaining bright hair color.
▴ Looking to fight fading? Try oVertone haircare! Find my review here.
▴ Two tips for switching hair colors easily.
▴ Bleaching your hair 101.
▴ How I style my hair.
As much as I'd love to help people out with their hair, I can't. Everyone's hair is different. How your hair reacts to a certain product or color may be the complete opposite of how mine does. I'm simply sharing as much as I can about what I've found works for me. For that reason I cannot give out any further advice. I can't tell you what brand and color will make a certain shade in your hair but I can tell you that adventure of it is half the fun!
If you have any general questions, or questions about my hair - let me know. I'll be keeping this post updated with relevant information.
Good luck!

I've been dyeing my hair for 10+ years and I too think punky colors is the best, by like, A LOT. The only thing that compares that I have tried is Special effects, but that bleeds for me for at least a week after using it, and stains my shower for a while, haha.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, Special Effects is pretty awesome. I think they're fairly equal, SE is just a lot more expensive and harder to find. I like that I can pick up Punky from Ulta.Delete
Thanks for this great post. I love when you're talking about your hair (does it sound weird? Sorry!). I stumbled into your blog some time ago because of one of your hair color post (I think it was thanks to an article talking about you on the Craft blog) and I have to say that I got more and more addicted to your blog over time (even if I don't bike or don't care for abandoned buildings, even if you can really take beautiful pictures of those!), even if the "hair" posts were getting rare.ReplyDelete
I dyed my short hair for years, but thanks to your hair tips, I got confident enough to dye my longer hair (mid-back) without being scared of ruin them. And it worked :) I always get compliments from strangers on how gorgeous are my hair and it's a bit thanks to you! I can't wait to read the new updated hair posts.Replies
Thanks C! I would love to blog about hair more but honestly don't know how to go about it. Giving advice is weird, and I can only share so many photos of my own hair so that leaves me kind of stuck. But I am definitely looking forward to re-writing the old hair posts with new info!Delete
I love your ever changing hair color. It's one of the reasons I started reading your blog. Soooo cute!ReplyDelete
I just love all the colors! Every shade looks great on you!ReplyDelete
I did the ends of my hair hot pink, at a salon, and had them bleach first and it FELL OUT. Sorry, like the color was just GONE. In less than 2 weeks!! SO bummed. Have you had this happen with Manic Panic? Someone told me the dye just wasn't right but the salon said it's because my hair is curly. Not so sure about that :\ReplyDeleteReplies
Sometimes when hair is so damaged it just refuses to hold color. They may have just damaged your hair a bit too much, especially if they're now blaming it on your hair. Manic Panic isn't the best color but it should still definitely stay longer than two weeks.Delete
Yup. Your hair probably was too damaged from a hasty bleach job. Salons sometimes do amazing jobs, but one thing they don't often explain is that with certain hair (especially dark), it takes some time - not just one visit - to bleach it effectively down to the right level without ruining it entirely. In trying to do so in one visit, I'm betting they used a higher volume developer, literally leaving your hair "holey" and unable to hold onto the dye.Delete
Now, that said, I have also had one jar of Manic Panic that utterly failed to do anything. I was after the apparent holy grail of unnatural colors, Apricot Peach, and thought this might be my ticket. Lots of people had problems with the Pretty Flamingo, before it was discovered that this particular dye is sensitive to long storage and light and can break down before it is purchased. They claim to have changed the formula, but I haven't tried that color again.
Reeeeeeeally? That makes so much sense. I bought two containers of Pretty Flamingo. One online and one in person and they were INSANELY different colors! They both worked normally, just completely different colors.Delete
Your color combos are always the prettiest. I love seeing how it's evolved!ReplyDelete
I could stare at your hair all day every day. (I promise that's not as creepy as it sounds.) I sooo wish I could rock rainbow hair. Every hue looks gorgeous on you!ReplyDelete
Haha! Nah, it's not creepy at all! Thank you!!Delete
PS. You can rock rainbow hair! Anyone can, it's just a matter of owning it. :)
Wow ! I love these happy colors on your head! My sister used to have a blue bangs and it was so impressive! I believe she would love all these useful advicesReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Natasa! :)Delete
I love all these bright colors! I wish my work would allow me to have my hair colors like this.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Stephanie! :)Delete
Love your tips and info. My daughter had burgundy then a purple that she loved, wants to go blue, but the beauty school still wants too much money, so we're going to give it a go at home, since it's just bleaching her roots. How close to the scalp do you go? The box says a half inch, but her hair grows so fast that seems too much. She's never had any sensitivity issues. I understand if you don't want to give this kind of advice, though.ReplyDeleteReplies
Depends on what you're using, I guess. This probably is a risky thing to give advice on since the directions say otherwise so I'll just say that I bleach all the way to my scalp. Sometimes it is REALLY itchy, other times it doesn't bother me at all.Delete
Maybe just do a little test patch?
Thanks. I did some more searuching and saw where someone recommended the 1/4-1/2 away and the rubs it i to the roots a bit at the end. Glad to hear it both ways.Delete
Sorry, two more questions: how much dye do you add to your conditioner, and she just had a deep conditioning treatment at the beauty school; how long should we wait to dye? Don't want to negate the conditioning effects and don't want the colour not to take. Thanks for any help!ReplyDeleteReplies
I adore your rainbow locks!ReplyDelete
Are there any particular types of conditioners to avoid mixing with the punky colours? Or ones maybe you would recommend?
I recently mustered up the courage to bleach and dye my mid back length natural hair, blood orange/red. My hair seems to be just as strong and healthy but a little thirsty haha I read your blog and thought I might try mixing conditioner with the dye when I reapply.
Thanks for sharing all your advice! xo
I know everyone always asks how you DYE your hair, but could you do a post on how you style your hair? Your hair is always looking fierce!ReplyDelete
My cut is about the same length as you keep your hair, but I just don't know how to get my bob looking perfect like yours. I especially love when you throw just a little bit of curl in there!
Do you have a special blow-drying technique? Do you style with unicorn dust? There has to be some secret! Haha.
Hi! Thank you so much for your blog and posts about your hair! It has really helped me make the leap into the world of vibrantly colorful hair. I'm looking into the Hask Placenta hair and scalp treatment and I was wondering when you put it on? Do you use it regularly while your hair is colored?ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!Replies
I spritz it on my hair after towel drying, and of course! :)Delete
Could you do a tutorial on how you style your hair currently? It's so perfect, totally have bang envy!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! I'm working on it currently! It'll be a few weeks but I got ya! :)Delete
Yes, please more hair posts! I recently went with punky alpine green and followed your advice from various posts. Got lots of compliments at CONvergence, a sci-fi/fantasy con in Mpls. over July 4th weekend. Sent everyone to your site. Love the photography posts too!ReplyDelete
OMG! You are my new hair color inspiration goddess! I have been dying my hair since I was 18 and have been dying it bright "unnatural" colors for the past few years. I was dying it red (manic panic vampire red) and prior to that I had magenta (special effects virgin rose) but recently went to purple. I've used a variety of the manic panic purples and they turn out pretty but fade so fast. I just tried special effects pimpin purple and deep purple so I'm hoping they last a little longer. I was wondering about how you mix your dye and conditioner...could you tell me a little bit more about that? Does it dilute the dye and make it more pastel? Do you have to use less dye then? Does it affect how long the dye lasts? I thought since you shouldn't condition your hair prior to dying it, mixing it with conditioner would cause the dye to not "stick"? Clearly that's not the case because your hair always looks amazing! Thanks for all the advice and inspiration!ReplyDelete
It dilutes the color a little bit but how much really just depends on how much conditioner you mix in with the dye. You'd have to use A LOT to make it pastel. I feel like it makes the dye last longer.Delete
Can bleaching only the tips damage the rest of the hair?ReplyDeleteReplies
Only what you apply it to.Delete
HI! I'm wondering if you've tried any other brands of hair dye that have become more popular recently like Pravana or Arctic Fox hair dye? I know Pravana is usually used by salons but its available on ebay and amazon, and Arctic Fox is at Spencers. Also Good Dye Young but they're fairly new and don't have that many colors available, same with Lunatik Cosmetics.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've never tried Arctic Fox but I have used Pravana a few different times over the years. I'm still Punky Colours all the way! I've found nothing that works for my hair better.Delete
Also, Good Dye Young kind of smells... like a lot. I got the blue and the yellow (to mix since they don't sell green) and I couldn't handle the smell. I had to wash my hair a second time after rinsing it out.

Project Description
I'm looking for someone who knows how to setting up a brand new VPS running WordPress multisite network.
The VPS is now running a clean install of Ubuntu [url removed, login to view], and needs to be secured and configured with all the needed features in order to run a WordPress multisite network successfully. There will be multiple domains running on the same network using domain mapping.
The network needs to run as smooth as possible and be able to handle 10k + visitors a day (and possible more if scaling up in the future).
What i want in this setup is high availability, security, speed and maximum efficiency.
I order to accomplish this i figure the setup needs Nginx instead of Apache - along with MySQL, phpMyAdmin, cache (Varnish? + CloudFlaire CDN?).
All emails will be handled external (Google Apps etc), except systems/admin email.
Please feel free to give any recommendations to this setup.

SeaDream II Activities

- Superb service that's friendly, efficient and proactive
- Retractable marina offers water sports right from the ship
Sponsored Listings
SeaDream II Entertainment
Entertainment is informal, and, essentially, it's what you make of it. In the evening, most people were content to enjoy after-dinner drinks, chat and listen to music in the Main Salon Bar on Deck 3, a circular room with a small dance floor and comfortable cream upholstered armchairs.
Champagne is served on deck or in the Main Salon as you board, and people gather there or on deck in the evening for cocktail hour and hot canapes. When the weather does not permit on-deck screenings, the Main Salon shows movies, appropriate for the destination. On our Greek Isles cruise, we had "Mamma Mia!" and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," for example.
We preferred the Pool Bar on the aft deck, where you can catch the last rays while you sip a pre-dinner drink. On fine nights, the outdoor movies are shown there, and on one night, we also sang (bad) karaoke.
The piano bar on Deck 4 is also popular, especially during karaoke sessions. Beside it is a tiny casino, with just two tables and a few slot machines; the library is next door.
The Top of the Yacht Bar on Deck 6 is probably the liveliest evening venue if the weather is fine. The sociable horseshoe-shaped polished-wood bar has high wooden bar stools around it and an awning to protect cruisers from the elements, but apart from that, it is open air, with a few cozy tables and upholstered chairs on deck. Dancing takes place there when the mood is right.
One thing we'd experienced before on SeaDream (and to which we were looking forward) was the Champagne Splash, a late-morning festivity at which everybody sits around the pool, the Champagne flows and the waiters leap into the water, fully dressed, and serve caviar from a silver vat that floats in a life preserver. But, on this particular cruise, although the Champagne was there and a caviar bar was set up in a corner of the Pool Deck, the waiters stayed out of the water, and the party was more subdued than we'd hoped it would be. The hotel manager, Peter, told us that they don't always get wet nowadays, and it's up to the individual waiters how the party pans out.
Excursions in port ranged from about $90 for an expert guided town walk to $350 for transport and guide to a major city. These were subject to cancellation if minimum numbers did not sign up. However, there were also free guided walks and bicycle rides available with the tour director, and these were always fun and well attended.
SeaDream II Public Rooms
A SeaDream cruise is really aimed at people who want to be out on deck as much as possible, and we spent very little time indoors.
The Reception, on Deck 6, has glass cabinets displaying the Yacht Boutique's gifts and clothing range. It sells logowear, as well as glass and porcelain items. Although it's quite expensive, the logo gear was popular.
The Reception, or Concierge, was also where you signed forms to borrow the onboard bicycles, snorkels or other sports gear. It's also where passengers book shore excursions.
The comprehensive library on Deck 4 has two Internet terminals; fees are $5 for 10 minutes, $3 for additional blocks of 10 minutes or $35 for a whole day. However, Internet access is available from all staterooms, and most people used their mobile devices, which were cheaper. Laptops are also available at no charge.
SeaDream II Spa & Fitness
On deck, there are various sitting and sunbathing areas, from small booths with padded seats along the side of Decks 5 and 6 to the much-hyped Balinese Beds. These eight squashy, double sun loungers face outward on the port and starboard sides of Deck 6 and are exceptionally comfortable. Understandably, these were in demand on sea days, but on port days we were usually able to get one without a wait. The beds farthest from the smokestack are quietest.
There are also sun loungers and chairs around the pool and hot tub on Deck 3, and on Deck 4 you can use the small gym which offers a couple of treadmills, stationary bikes and free weights. The spa, also on Deck 4, is Thai certified and claims to be the only one of its kind at sea. It costs $158 for a 60-minute massage; offerings include a Traditional Thai Massage (available in a private open-air massage area, as well as in the spa), Traditional Thai Massage with herbs, Swedish Body Massage, Soothing Aroma Body Massage and Asian Blend massage -- a combination of Thai, Shiatsu and deep-tissue techniques. A 30-minute back, neck and shoulder massage costs $89.
Other treatments include facials, body scrubs, depilation and hair treatments. A shampoo and blow dry started at $45, with a cut from $50 and highlights from $85. Pedicures and manicures, and eyebrow and eyelash tints were also available.
The very small steamroom was available for free, but it had to be booked, as did the small sauna, and there were free yoga and tai chi classes every morning.
The ship, like its twin sister, has a retractable marina that offers banana boat rides, dinghies, water-skiing, and standup paddleboards. We had quite rough seas on our cruise, so it was only lowered once, and we missed it while we were ashore.
SeaDream II also carries a fleet of mountain bikes, which are free to use on a first-come, first-served basis. Our captain, Terje Willassen, was a keen cyclist, and we noticed one flashy-looking bike tied up by the bridge, labeled "Captain's bike." He would sometimes accompany passengers on cycle trips. A golf simulator on Deck 6, complete with 30 signature golf courses, is free to use.
The Segway Human Transporters, which were a gimmicky feature of the line when it launched, have gone. Apparently, there weren't enough places in ports to use them.

Vogue Lounge Opens at the Raleigh Hotel
From Trina Turk's Swim and Spa Collection 2011
Sure, Art Basel is great for the art. We'll give you that. But once you get passed the amazing collectors flying from around the world to add stellar pieces to their collections, what else is there? The after parties, of course. But our favorite thing about Art Basel? It also brings some of fashion's heaviest hitters to South Beach.
While rubbing shoulders with fashion's elite isn't the easiest thing to accomplish if you're not a model or celebrity, Vogue has taken the guesswork out with this year's Vogue Lounge. Think: The Devil Meets Prada gallivanting around South Beach, minus the scary Anna Wintour associations. There will be champagne receptions, cocktail parties, and shopping -- and we couldn't be happier.
The Raleigh Hotel
We've actually bumped into people like fashion designers Viktor + Rolf and
supermodel Naomi Campbell at Art Basel events in years past, but we never actually talked to them. Maybe it was because the actual fashion was missing from the equation?

Well this time, we're taking no prisoners. Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands are joining forces with one of America's oldest fashion magazines to make sure we get the most Basel week has to offer. How can we say no to that? We just can't.
The Vogue Lounge kicks off with an opening champagne reception on December 1 at 7 p.m., and from then on you can expect cocktail parties, DJ sets by Ess & Emm, and tons of product previews and shopping opps from brands like Trina Turk, Sam Edelman, Bebe, Canon, and Latisse.

This renewal project seeks to continue and expand a program of synthesis, biology, and computational chemistry based on the exciting profile of biological activity displayed by the natural product bryostatin 1. This marine natural product has been shown to have anticancer activity, and has been in over 80 clinical trials in man. In addition, bryostatin 1 has demonstrated effects on memory, on stimulation of the immune system, and on Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, recent studies in rats have shown that bryostatin 1 offers promise in the treatment of stroke, in that rescue of damaged neural tissue can be effected for up to 24 hours following the ischemic event. The mode of action of bryostatin is only partially understood, but it is known to involve interaction with a family of signaling proteins containing C1 domains. Amongst the known ligands for this Protein Kinase C superfamily, bryostatin 1 is unique in being a functional antagonist to the tumor-promoting phorbol esters. The studies proposed are aimed at realizing the therapeutic potential of this agent. We propose to continue our studies of structure-function relationships in bryostatin 1, in an attempt to define the structural features responsible for the various biological activities already established for bryostatin 1. We also propose to prepare this agent on gram scale, to provide more material for further studies. We plan to continue to investigate the biology of analogues of bryostatin 1, both in the hope of identifying selective new agents with unique patterns of biological activity, and also in terms of using these agents as tools to study the underlying biology of the signaling mechanisms. We have already established, during the preceding grant period, proof of concept in each of these areas. New analogues of bryostatin 1 will be prepared to investigate various hypotheses regarding mechanisms of action and structure activity relationships, and evaluated in detail for their effects in living cells of various types. Detailed biological investigations will be pursued to establish the underlying mechanisms for the biological endpoints observed in the various systems. Computational methods will be employed both to help interpret the structural effects observed and to suggest promising new avenues for structural exploration. Ongoing collaborations with leading experts in the biology of bryostatin and PKC signaling, and in computational investigations of these same systems will be continued.
This project seeks to realize the potential of a very promising substance, bryostatin 1, which was originally isolated from a marine (ocean) source. This material has shown fascinating activity against a variety of diseases including cancer, Alzheimers'disease, and stroke, and has been in clinical trials in man. Our dual approach is to develop a laboratory synthesis of this agent (there is no supply from natural sources) as well as to use this compound as a lead structure. Thus we are developing other structures, similar to that of bryostatin, and studying their biology. The hopes are to identify new and more easily prepared structures for use in therapy, and also to use these structures as biological tools for study of the underlying disease.

Comments about Baby Shampoo Detangling 2in1 Straight Hair - 13 oz:
i think this shampoo lathers very well, and it has a soft smell, that actually everyone asks about... they ask what shampoo i use because my twins hair smells so good. this is a great product and i found that if you use a baby comb it gets the tangles out much better on toddlers hair vs. an adult comb.
i recommend this product.

I bought this for my 4 and 5 year old daughters. What a complete waste of money. It doesn't lather well and it doesn't do ANYTHING for tangles. I am going back to Suave. It works much better and costs much less.

Comments about Baby Shampoo Detangling 2in1 Straight Hair - 13 oz:
My daughter, at 2 1/2, gets knots and tangles easily, and has a lot of hair. She needs conditioner, and a 2-in-1 is the only way to go---I cant imagine how people rinse out a separate shampoo and then a conditioner well from a child's hair!
I was looking for a 2-in-1 that was truly tear free. Ive found some products, especially the more "natural" ones, may claim to be tear free, but still irritate her eyes. This is the only one so far that has not. I do wish it was more conditioning, but thats the nature of the beast---2-in-1 shampoo and conditoners can only condition so far.
Still though, this has helped a lot with her tangles, and makes brushing much easier!

A RURAL community in Eden is 'waiting on tenterhooks' as superfast broadband edges closer.
Ravenstonedale residents raised £80,000 to get cables laid to their homes after finding their current internet speed unbearably slow.
A 15km network of cables is being laid from Ash Fell Hill, through Fell End, to Uldale by local trencher Tony Swindenbank, providing 58 properties with high-speed internet.
Additional funding of £26,000 was provided by the Prince's Countryside Fund and a further £54,000 was donated by DEFRA's Rural Development Programme for England as well as an undisclosed amount from the Holehird Trust.
- Thieves steal £3,000 worth of items from holiday home
- New tenants at one of Kendal's oldest pubs
- One smoke alarm 'not enough', says fire service
- Hornby swimming pool to close on March 31
The cables have to pass through several farmers' fields en route to the properties but every landowner granted wayleave free of charge, knocking thousands off the overall cost as they would normally charge £2 per metre.
Libby Bateman, local project co-ordinator, said: "We're going to be sitting here on tenterhooks - it will mean a great deal to businesses around here."

It does exactly what you need it to do
Read allot of reviews for the WD TV Live and was leaning towards it only because even the people who didn't like it said it played just about every file they threw at it. Saw the WD TV Live Plus and thought Netflix was a great addition. All the reviews were rite played any file I have so far in my movie library. I use it mostly to stream from a pc through my LAN. So far audio in sync and no hiccups or pixilation on video. Same old WD interface its a little bland but has the basics I am looking for still no skip forward or back on ff/rw and the 16x ff/rw is a tad slow for me but they have added a return to so if you stop a movie you can just pick up where you left off. You could sit here for hours but you can all surf for your specific tech specks but just wanted to let everyone know so far it works well and WD seems to have ironed out all the bugs I read about previous versions of this player. Cant wait to see what word they tack on after PLUS in the next version :)

Odds and ends for December 12
Peppermint pigs a tradition in N.Y.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) — A holiday tradition in this upstate New York resort town has a peppermint twist: pig-shaped hard candies are sold with little metal hammers to smash them at Christmas.
The peppermint pigs, which can weigh up to a pound, are considered good luck charms by some. Family members will take turns whacking the tokens of holiday cheer into little candy shards.
"We do find that some people are a little taken aback: 'What's the whole idea of the pig and the hammer? What are you doing? And is someone insulting me by giving me a pig?'" said Mike Fitzgerald, owner of Saratoga Sweets, which makes the pigs that can be the size of a bar of soap.
Why pigs? It could be related to the marzipan pigs northern European confectioners make at holiday time as good luck symbols. Fitzgerald said it's possible chefs at the old hotels in Saratoga Springs in the late 19th century couldn't easily make marzipan, so they improvised with peppermint hard candy.
In the old days, the pig was placed on the Christmas dinner table. Father would wrap it in a napkin and crack it with the steel rod used to sharpen knives so the family could share the sweet-tasting bits, Fitzgerald said. But by the mid-20th century, the area holiday tradition went the way of lit candles on Christmas trees.
In 1988, Fitzgerald made a first run of 60 peppermint pigs at the request of the local historical society. He was surprised to see people lining up to buy them, many of them older people who fondly recalled smashing pigs when they were young. He sold out his run and never looked back.
"It's been a pig race ever since. This year we'll make about 130,000 pigs," he said.
As Fitzgerald spoke, workers stirred bubbling tea pots filled with a Pepto-pink mix of sugar and corn syrup. The candy mix is hand-poured into cast aluminum molds to make one of three pigs: Holly (3 ounces and 3 1/2-inches long), Noel (a half pound and 5 1/2 inches) or the big man, Clarence (1 pound and 6 inches).
The hardened pigs have a shiny, glassy quality other hard candies with a higher corn syrup content lack. A quick strike by Fitzgerald's hammer shattered a pig.
"It has to break like glass," Fitzgerald said with satisfaction.
It's not as though sales of candy canes — more than 1.8 billion are made a year — are being threatened. But the pigs are a popular item in gift stores in Saratoga Springs and other retailers, dressed in red velvet bags with a shiny, silver hammer. (Once you get the hammer, you can order a refill without one.)
"Thanksgiving sort of kicks it off and from here on in, it gets crazy," said Marianne Barker of Impressions of Saratoga.
And the pigs have extended beyond their upstate New York habitat through online sales and catalogs. In Georgia, Lynn Barlow bought a pig on a lark in 1997 and shared it with her family on Christmas. A good luck streak followed that included a raise for her husband, one son bagging the biggest buck of his life and another son's team winning a basketball tournament.
The White, Ga., resident said pigs have been passed around at the holiday table ever since, now with grandchildren taking a turn with the hammer.
"My husband hits it first," Barlow said, "and then the peppermint is hard, so we usually go around the table twice just because the kids enjoy doing it so much."

Packer reportedly behind Network Ten raid
It is being reported that billionaire James Packer has launched a surprise raid on Network Ten and has already bought a 15 per cent stake.
TranscriptTICKY FULLERTON, PRESENTER: There's speculation tonight that billionaire James Packer has launched a surprise raid on Network Ten.
It's been reported that Mr Packer has already bought a 15 per cent stake and is looking to acquire about 20 per cent.
He sold out of the Nine Network some years ago and has since concentrated on his gaming interests.
Mr Packer's majority owned Consolidated Media owns a 25 per cent stake in pay TV group Foxtel and it's unclear whether the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission would object to bringing Ten and Foxtel closer together.
Ten shares closed flat at $1.41, a 6 per cent discount to the reported offer price of $1.50.

Stillborn FlipLive camera spotted in photo
An image of the FlipLive, Cisco's latest camera in its now discontinued Flip range, has shown up online thanks to Gizmodo. The camera, which would have the ability to stream video to the cloud, would have been the company's most advanced product. Cisco announced it was exiting the portable digital video camera business the day before the FlipLive was supposed to be announced.
Flip Mino HD revamp brings 2hr video, larger screen
Flip Video today countered the threat of the iPod nano as a camcorder by launching a redesigned Flip Mino HD. The pocket camcorder has a sleeker, silver-hued design but focuses most on addressing gaps in its design: the new version doubles storage to 8GB, enough for two hours of video, and has a much larger 2-inch LCD (up from 1.5 inches). Other upgrades include the HDMI output from the Ultra HD as well as more responsive touch-sensitive buttons.
Flip Video remote control spotted at FCC
A new FCC filing reveals a new RF remote control with Flip Video branding but produced by Foxconn is on its way. Flip Video, known for its small, simple HD cameras such as the Flip Ultra HD, is unlikely to need a remote the size of the device itself for its cameras, so this sighting may indicate a new product for the company, such as a living room or home theater device.
Flip Video and CafePress offer custom designs
Flip Video on Tuesday announced a partnership with CafePress to offer customers a no-cost option of creating their own exterior color designs for Flip's Flip Mino camcorder. CafePress, which specializes in selling custom designs on products ranging from to coffee mugs to t-shirts, will allow users to create, share and sell designs for the camera. Users who upload their designs can then earn commissions for themselves based on sales, or donate them to non-profit causes.

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

[January 1, 2016, AJHP News]
Kate Traynor
BETHESDA, MD 09 Dec 2015—The Medicare program expects to pay $133 million less for hospital outpatient services during 2016 than it paid in 2015, an overall decrease of 0.4%, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on October 30.
The decrease in payments results largely from mandated adjustments and a correction to previously estimated packaged payments for laboratory tests, according to the annual update to CMS's hospital outpatient prospective payment rule.
Unchanged for 2016 is the use of the average sales price (ASP) plus 6% to reimburse hospitals for drugs and biologicals that are not packaged within an ambulatory payment classification (APC) group—also known as "separately payable" drugs and biologicals.
ASHP for several years has supported reimbursement for separately paid drugs and biologicals at no less than ASP plus 6%.
The ASP-plus-6% rate also applies to radiopharmaceuticals, clotting factors, and so-called pass-through drugs (new, high-cost products whose reimbursement rate is set by statute for up to three years).
CMS will provide pass-through payments for 38 drugs during 2016, including 32 drugs that were on the pass-through list for 2015. Twelve drug products from 2015 lost pass-through status for 2016.
Three medications that had pass-through status during 2015—bivalirudin injection, mitomycin ophthalmic solution, and abciximab injection—have been reclassified as supplies when used during specific surgical procedures. Starting on January 1, the payment for the three medications will be packaged into the APC for the specified procedures.
CMS will continue to pay a "furnishing fee" for items and services associated with the administration of clotting factors in outpatient settings. For 2016, the furnishing fee is $0.202 per unit, up from $0.197 per unit in 2015.
Two-midnight rule. The annual update included a promised clarification from CMS about how to apply the so-called two-midnight rule, a policy that was implemented during fiscal year 2014. The policy is used to determine when patients should be treated as outpatients—generally under observation status—or admitted as inpatients.
CMS's initial guidance on the policy stated that patients whose care is expected to span two midnights (i.e., 12:00 a.m. on two consecutive days) should be admitted as inpatients.
The outpatient final rule for 2016 defers to clinical judgment and states that a physician may sometimes properly determine that a short inpatient stay is necessary. Such exceptions to the two-midnight rule must be adequately documented, and each case is subject to review for medical necessity by the state's quality improvement organization (QIO).
ASHP, in comments on a draft version of the 2016 outpatient rule, supported the use of clinical judgment in determining exceptions to the two-midnight rule. ASHP also supported the role of QIOs, as opposed to recovery audit contractors or Medicare administrative contractors, in verifying medical necessity determinations.
Quality reporting. The final rule rescinds an earlier proposal by CMS to adopt a new hospital outpatient quality reporting program quality measure—the Emergency Department Transfer Communication (EDTC)—for payment determinations in 2019. This National Quality Forum (NQF)–endorsed quality measure focuses on avoiding communication problems when patients are transferred from an emergency department to another healthcare facility.
ASHP had supported the EDTC quality measure and also urged CMS to adopt at least one NQF-endorsed companion quality measure related to medication reconciliation. According to ASHP's written comments, these measures would "help assure that an accurate and current medication list, free of the potential for dangerous drug–drug, and/or drug–disease interaction, is communicated efficiently and precisely among healthcare professionals accountable for the patient's care."
In the final rule, CMS stated that it will consider the suggested medication reconciliation quality measures if the agency later reexamines adopting the EDTC measure or one similar to it.
CMS does not now require hospitals that participate in Medicare to perform medication reconciliation during discharge planning for patients being transferred to another healthcare facility. But that situation may change.
CMS on November 3 proposed to revise the discharge planning requirements for hospitals that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Among the proposed requirements is that hospitals perform a comprehensive medication reconciliation as part of the discharge process.
The proposed discharge planning requirements would not apply to "emergency-level transfers for patients who require a higher level of care," CMS stated.
Comprehensive APCs. CMS for 2015 reconfigured the classification scheme for comprehensive APCs (C-APCs) that pay for certain high-cost primary care services. The final rule adds nine new C-APCs, for a total of 34.
The C-APC system uses a single payment to reimburse hospital outpatient departments for the episode of care instead of issuing separate payments for items and services involved in the procedure.
According to CMS, drugs, biologicals, and radiopharmaceuticals that are not separately payable by statute or otherwise exempted by the agency are packaged into the C-APCs regardless of their cost.
ASHP is the national professional organization whose more than 43,000 members include pharmacists, student pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians who serve as patient care providers on healthcare teams in acute and ambulatory settings.

Occupational Asbestos Exposure
Exposure to asbestos is most common occupationally. People who worked in construction trades are at the highest risk due to the ubiquity of asbestos in the industry.
The Most Common Form of Asbestos Exposure
Why Is Occupational Exposure So Prevalent?
Fire Resistance and Insulation
Its insulating and fire resistant qualities and affordability made asbestos applicable in most trades. It was used in any material with a risk of overheating or catching fire from electrical wires to ceiling tiles.
Used Throughout the Armed Forces
Military veterans are one of the largest groups affected by occupational asbestos exposure. Asbestos was especially suitable for use in naval vessels and other military vehicles. Veterans with mesothelioma are typically eligible for VA compensation.
Used in Countless Trades
Asbestos is still used in the U.S. and workers may also encounter asbestos used in past applications. Fortunately, regulations are now in place to protect workers. Learn more about occupational exposure in our free Mesothelioma Guide.
Occupational Asbestos Containing Materials
Former Commercial and Industrial Uses of Asbestos
- Boilers and heating systems
- Cement pipe
- Automotive parts (like brake pads)
- Electrical wire
- Chemical containers
- Heat-protective pads
- Roofing and flooring materials
- Adhesives and sealants
- Insulation products
- Paper products
- Drywall
- Paints
Imported Asbestos Products
Asbestos can still be found in places like old homes and cars. This means occupational risks are still present. Furthermore, asbestos, contrary to general belief, is not banned in the United States. Most asbestos still being used in the United States is imported and can be found in:
- Brake pads
- Automobile clutches
- Roofing materials
- Vinyl tile
- Cement pipe
The Rise of Asbestos Use in the U.S.
Shipyards During the Second World War
Military veterans, especially those who served during World War II, face the highest exposure to asbestos materials. Navy veterans have significantly higher rates than any other branch due to the heavy use of asbestos on ships and submarines.
During WWII, the production of naval vessels increased exponentially. The Navy's fleet was larger than all of the world's navies combined as soon as 1943. Occupationally, this means workers in the shipyards contributing to the war effort were exposed to substantial amounts of asbestos. Literally tons of this mineral were hauled to these shipyards and used in these ships.
Anyone working in one of these shipyards was almost certainly exposed to asbestos regardless of their specific profession. This is due to the close proximity in which everyone works in shipyards and the fact that almost every worker used some kind of asbestos-containing material as part of their job. This includes:
- Electricians
- Painters
- Insulation workers
- Iron workers
- Pipe fitters
- Welders

The risk of occupational exposure is not what it used to be thanks to federal regulations. However, asbestos is not yet banned in the United States, though most occupations these days are safe from asbestos because of awareness and safety standards.
If you were occupationally exposed to asbestos you may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible. Find out more about asbestos trust funds that are available to compensate victims of occupational asbestos exposure.
Effects on Emergency Personnel
Learn more about asbestos exposure in firefighters.
The World Trade Center was built when asbestos use was common. When the buildings collapsed, possibly hundreds of tons of asbestos were released into the air. 9/11 first responders are at risk of developing asbestos-related diseases, like mesothelioma. Survivors of the attack, bystanders, and local residents are also at risk. Learn more about asbestos exposure on 9/11.
The Decline of Asbestos Use?
The Beginning of Regulations
Asbestos-containing building materials were common until the 1980s. Instances of occupational exposure began declining as working conditions and regulations regarding asbestos were established. This caused the subsequent decline (but not the end) of asbestos use in industrial materials.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for protecting workers from health hazards by enforcing regulations on uses of asbestos-containing materials. Standards enforced by OSHA have tremendously decreased occupational exposure to asbestos. However, exposure is still possible if workers aren't aware of materials containing asbestos.
Occupational Exposure Still a Threat
Occupational asbestos exposure is still a risk because asbestos is still used in the United States. Contrary to most people's knowledge, asbestos is not banned in the U.S.
Any attempt to ban asbestos during the federal regulation in the 80s was dismantled by companies profiting from asbestos. Most asbestos used in the U.S. today is imported. According to the United States Geological Survey, over 250,000 tons of asbestos were imported and used between 1991 and 2001.
Most of these products are handled by those in construction and manufacturing trades.
Permissible Exposure Limits
The main occupational protection standard, known as the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for asbestos, was established in 1986. The PEL is necessary because of old construction products and the continued use of asbestos products in the United States.
Other federal agencies that set regulations for safe conditions with regard to asbestos exposure include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
Finding Help After a Diagnosis
If you believe your diagnosis was a result of occupational exposure, there is compensation available to help with your treatment. Asbestos trust funds have billions of dollars to help compensate mesothelioma patients and are just one form of support. Learn more about other avenues of mesothelioma compensation for those who were occupationally exposed to asbestos.

About the law firm
Nowadays, it is very easy to lose oneself a in the thick of regulations. Ignorance of law – according to the old Roman maxim – does not excuse, and it is better not to check personally how harmful it may prove to be.
That is why you should always consult a reliable and qualified registered lawyer – an advocate (Polish: adwokat), whose main function is to provide legal assistance, prepare legal opinions and drafts of legislative acts, and represent persons and companies before court in civil, administrative and...

Confidence in the UK housing market has fallen to its lowest point in 30 years, according to property surveyors.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said 78.5 per cent more of its members reported a fall rather than a rise in prices in March. This marked the eighth consecutive monthly drop and made for the gloomiest reading since the survey began in 1978.
Property surveyors now say the next six months will be crucial for homeowners and would-be buyers.
Jeremy Leaf, a spokesman for Rics, said the gloom was the result of the credit crunch, which was stopping mortgage providers from lending to each other: "Sentiment will continue to remain depressed while the economy suffers from this unique liquidity blight."
But he added that a crash in prices still remained unlikely.
The survey also showed a decline in the number of people looking to buy; 49 per cent more surveyors reported a fall rather than a rise in new buyer enquiries, compared with 39 per cent in January.
The findings add to concerns raised by the Halifax, the UK's biggest mortgage lender, which reported a 2.5 per cent fall in house prices in March, the biggest monthly decline since 1992.

Sexuality and Eroticism Among Males in Moslem Societies by John DeCecco
Book DescriptionHere is the first major work published about sexuality and eroticism between males in Islamic society. Through narratives, analytic essays, descriptions, and academic treatises, Sexuality and Eroticism Among Males in Moslem Societies provides a revealing and most fascinating look into what is--for most Westerners--still a very hidden, very foreign culture. Until now there has existed a lack of solid information about sexuality in Islamic society, but this volume portrays very clearly the relationship between same-sex eroticism and the ideal of the man as penetrator. As a result, Sexuality and Eroticism Among Males in Moslem Societies illuminates not only homosexuality but the whole sexual culture and role of gender in the Muslim world. The chapters focus on homosexuality among men in Morocco, Syria, Iran, Turkey, and Israel. Despite its occurrence in this region of the world, sex between males is not considered to be "homosexuality" by most men--a concept that is reiterated in chapter after chapter. In addition to major differences in the attitudes toward homosexual acts in Muslim countries and the West, this enlightening book also shows great differences among the Muslim countries themselves, depending upon the degree to which Islamic law is enforced, the impact of different western colonial influences and legal systems, and the sheer impact of cultural variation within so vast a geographic area. There are some keen observations and insights into the socialization of boys in Islamic culture, the status and inaccessibility of women, and sex roles and attitudes toward them. Sexuality and Eroticism Among Males in Moslem Societies captures a sense of the Muslim countries in the process of rapid change--from the anti-modernist and religious fundamentalism of Iran to the attempts in the cities of Turkey to develop a western style gay way of life, with all the difficulties that involves. An engaging book for readers interested in gay studies, anthropologists, orientalists, historians, students of comparative law, and sexologists, it should also be read by anyone in contact with Arabs, Turks, or Persians--as tourists in Muslim countries, social service professionals working with immigrants, or friends of Muslims.

I have played and completed many Super Mario games, but there are still a few that I've played a lot without completing. After telling a friend of mine about a drinking game for Super Mario Bros. 3 I found on YouTube, made by The Warp Zone as one of their "Drinking Games for Gamers", we decided to try that out, since Super Mario Bros. 3 is one of those games that I've never completed. So we tried it out last night, drank a lot, but the drinking game got cut short after world 4, because there would just be too much after a while. But we still wanted to complete the game. Did we? No, not at the same night. After getting to the dark area of world 8, and after about 7 hours straight of gaming, we decided to give it up. We were way too tired (it was 4:30 a.m.) to complete it.
But why am I telling you this? Because one of the songs in Super Mario Bros. 3 is one that have been stuck to my head for a great while, and I love it SO much, that I started to wonder where I'd place it if I had a list containing my top 10 Super Mario songs. That's when I decided to make one, and see where it would land.
A few rules
- I will only pick songs from games that are Mario games, or has 'Mario' in the title. That means I can pick a song from Mario Kart, but not from Super Smash Bros. And no, I won't pick any songs from Luigi's Mansion either - I count that as a Luigi game.
- I will only pick 1 song per game.
10. New Super Mario Bros - Castle Theme
I think this is one of the best castle themes in the Mario series, and I'm so disappointed that it didn't reappear in any of the other New Super Mario Bros. games. I really like this one, and it's the other song from the NSMB series that has stuck out, if I look away from the main themes.
9. Super Mario Bros. 2 - Underworld Theme
Super Mario Bros 2. is an odd game, but it surely had some really enjoyable music. I don't find this better than the underground theme from the first Super Mario Bros. game, but hey, this one's very catchy too!
8. Super Mario World - Overworld Theme
Super Mario World is probably the first video game I ever played, back in the mid-90's. We played this game SO much, that even my mother, who's got no interest in video games at all, still can go around and hum this very melody. It's a very cheerful theme, and definitely deserves a spot on my list.
7. Super Mario Galaxy - Good Egg Galaxy Theme
This song, along with a few others in Super Mario Galaxy, have become Christmas songs to me. This one, in particular, takes me back to Christmas 2007, when I got this game. It was beautiful, the music was excellent and I never play this game in any other time of year than Christmas, just so that I can associate it with this holiday.
6. Mario Party - Mario's Rainbow Castle Theme
I've played Mario Party games since this first one in the late 90's. It was so much fun, and the music is what you can call "Mario Quality". I would pick the theme that plays during the cutscene after a winner of the whole board game has been decided, but it's so short, and this one is my favorite among the different boards.
5.Super Mario Sunshine - Delfino Plaza Theme
Super Mario Sunshine, along with the Gamecube, is one of the things I've had the greatest wish to own for myself in life. I was the happiest guy when I finally got myself a Nintendo Gamecube a couple of years after its release, but I played a lot of Super Mario Sunshine at my friend's house before that, and this song was really enjoyable back then, and it definitely still is!
4. Super Mario Bros. 3 - Hammer Bros. Theme
THIS is the theme that's been stuck to my head for the last weeks, and while there might be better songs from Super Mario Bros. 3, this one is just so damn catchy! This is my favorite from the game, and I love it when they use it in later games.
3. Super Mario Bros - Main Theme
Really, how can anyone have a top 10 Mario songs list without the most recognizable video game song of all time? Nothing more needs be said. Really.
2. Mario Kart 64 - Circuit Theme
Nintendo 64 is, perhaps, the ultimate local multiplayer console. Mario Kart 64 is still my favorite Mario Kart game, and it's still one of my first choices to which multiplayer game I wanna play with my friends. The soundtrack in MK64 is incredibly good, and this Circuit Theme is the one that sticks out the most to me. And man, when I heard this EXACT version on the same Mario Circuit in Mario Kart Wii, I flipped out. It's THAT good.
1. Super Mario 64 - Main Theme
Super Mario 64 is my favorite Mario game of all time. No matter when I play it, I always have fun with it. It has an incredible soundtrack, and this main theme is amazing, catchy and all around enjoyable. The first 4 seconds is just the coolest opening to any Mario song ever, and the rest is pure awesomeness!
That was my top 10 Mario Songs! Tell me what you think of the songs, and perhaps you want to make your list? Please go ahead! I'd love to check it out

Eb 5 Visa Regional Center Investment Immigration Business Foreign Obtain Attend - USAprice: contact company for price
EB-5 Visas
The EB-5 Visa is specifically designed to attract foreign investors to the U.S., to create jobs for American workers. It provides a direct route to receiving a Green Card, granting permanent residency for the investor and his immediate family, including children under 21 years of age.
Benefits of an EB-5 Visa
The benefits of obtaining an EB-5 visa include the following:
• Legal permanent residents admitted through this program enjoy many of the benefits of United States citizens, and their status requires no renewal or re-application. Other U.S. non-immigrant visas, such as E-2 and H1, often never result in permanent residency, have time limits, require additional filing with USCIS, and may require travel to the U.S. consulate in your home country every few years. Furthermore, U.S. immigration laws could change and prevent future approval when visa renewal becomes due.
• The United States is considered a safe haven for the families of permanent residents. Any members of the family granted a Green Card can come into the U.S. at any time and stay as long as they wish (subject to certain conditions regarding length of time when they leave the USA).
• EB-5 investors have constant, easy access to the United States for personal and business purposes.
• Permanent residents do not need a visa to travel to the U.S., though they will need their green card. EB-5 investors may live, retire, or own their own business anywhere in the United States.
• The U.S. has internationally recognized colleges and universities for both basic education and graduate study. However, since these vary enormously, it is worth seeking professional advice on this matter. As a resident, the EB-5 investor can benefit from lower tuition costs, particularly in his state of residence.
• The cost of living in the U.S. is often considered lower than that of other industrial nations. Consumer goods, services, and housing can be less expensive than comparable goods and services in many other countries.
• Students may work in the U.S. while they attend college, helping to offset tuition costs. They may also continue working after graduation.
• The U.S. provides many financial, social, and educational entitlements: public schools, higher education, and, after a period of contribution, medical and social security benefits.
• After five years, the investor may bring other family members to the U.S. and obtain U.S. citizenship for them.

Parenting sites shafted by TIME
Mon Jun 16 2008
This morning, TIME revealed their list of The 50 Best Websites of 2008, an array of online destinations so intriguing that even the technologically challenged could be lured into hours spent roaming the two-dimensional world. Some (actually most) of them are so genius that it makes me utterly bummed not to have come up with such brilliant ideas myself. The websites are constantly being voted on by viewers, so places keep switching, though one of our favorite sites, someecards.com, is currently snagging the #3 spot (right after HypeBeast.com, which features limited-edition and rare fashion finds, and ProFootballTalk.com). Lookybook.com was also named one of the top 50, an awesome site that enables you to flip through a myriad of children's books before ordering them online.
Timeoutkids.com didn't make TIME's list, but more disconcertingly, neither did any other parenting site. I am wondering where the disconnect lies: Is it because a) not enough people are investing time in creating resources for families to make it a genre worth consideration or b) the resources are, in fact, out there but insufficiently recognized?
Honestly, I don't even bring this up because I happen to work with a parenting Website every day, but more so because I wondered why the gap exists at all. I thought about it for awhile, when a very possible answer struck me: Parents would most likely be the ones creating said websites, and those parents don't have time to create them because they're, uh, busy parenting! Ok, maybe this isn't the exact reason, but I think it could be a possible one. Or perhaps this is a niche that is hard to tackle because parenting is so subjective. Maybe there isn't a real answer, and a site for families will own the #1 spot come 2009. How awesome would that be?
Why do you think parenting sites didn't make the list? Tell us what you think!
