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

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?”

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?

Bruce Hornsby and the Range: The Way It Is

If you’re one of the millions of people who are still out of work and trying to get a job, there is hope — the economy is picking up in some sectors and locations, and everywhere Web Watch looks there are “help wanted” signs posted. Granted, they may not be posted for jobs that everyone is interested in, but a job is a job to some… and if you don’t take it, someone who is already working two jobs to make ends meet will probably swoop in and take on a third just because they can.

Which brings us to today’s post, where we talk about a jobs-related survey done by Rutgers University entitled The Shattered American Dream: Unemployed Workers Lose Ground, Hope, and Faith in their Futures.

The 100 funniest words in the English language

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 4, 2011

Web Watch knows a number of women who find the words “moist” and “panty” to both be very disturbing words… and not necessarily when used together — all one has to do is include the individual word in an everyday sentence (ex: “can you get me a moist napkin to wipe up this spill?”) and you can see them cringe away in disgust.

That’s where Robert Beard can come to their rescue, with two lists of more pleasurable words than those two are:
