7 Ideas for a Teen Date – and one way to keep their hands to themselves

8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter
Eight Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter

Because others think that Web Watch knows everything, they often turn to us looking for answers to questions that we really wouldn’t think that we would have any basis of expertise in.

Case in point – we were visiting with old friends when their teenage daughter stopped by the kitchen to say hi on her way out the door for a date.  As she chatted with everyone, the question came up about where teens go on for a date in today’s environment.  We don’t know why everyone thought that we would have an answer to this, and our friend’s daughter wasn’t offering any suggestions herself.

CareerCast has published their annual list of the BEST 200 JOBS FOR 2011, based on data from the Labor Department, the US Census, and their own research.

They ranked each job in the following categories of topics: Environment, Income, Outlook, Stress and Physical Demands.  Within each topic category, a number of different items were evaluated on a numeric range, with lower numbers leading to better overall scores.

For example, a work environment would be judged based on the level of toxicity in the air, the physical nature of the job, or how perilous the job site may be for the employee or others they work with.

Once all the numbers for every area was determined, they were added up, and the lowest overall score wins.

Here are the top scoring jobs, qualifying for the title BEST JOBS FOR 2011:

Check this site out to see differences between censored and uncensored version of films

Obscene, Indecent, Immoral and Offensive: 100+ Years of Censored, Banned, and Controversial Films
Obscene, Indecent, Immoral and Offensive: 100+ Years of Censored, Banned, and Controversial Films

Not everyone is a fan of censorship.

But sometimes, movie studios release different versions of films to meet different audience needs.  For example, a version of a film shown on an cross-country airplane flight (“this film has been edited for content”) may be cropped differently or have a different audio track than the same film seen on HBO, on DVD, or when downloaded from Netflix.

Sometimes, the studios even release different versions of the films based on actual ratings received from the MPAA — they may sell an R-rated version at Wal-Mart, but an unrated version via Amazon.  Or a PG-version in the United States, and an NC-17 version in Europe.

So the question that Web Watch readers should be asking is “how do we go about to find out the differences between all these different versions of films, to be sure that the version we’re watching isn’t censored… or if it is censored, what are we missing?”

A website to motivate you through your New Year’s resolutions

The Winners Manual for the Game of Life
The Winners Manual

Sometimes, you need a little motivation.

Something to give you a kick in the butt and tell you that you can do whatever you set your mind out to do.

But not everybody can have their own personal life coach, or a direct phone line to former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson.

So what’s an unmotivated person to do when they’re looking for some inspiration?
