With all the recent news about major gender-related crimes and intolerable acts against women in India and other countries, Web Watch thought it would be worthwhile to point out that this is not new news at all.
Women have been fighting against cultural bias for years – decades – longer… and this doesn’t, shouldn’t be the case in this day and age.

Everyone has a MOST PLAYED or FAVORITE iTunes playlist that you listen to on a regular basis. Heck, that’s what the music industry is all about — getting you to buy (and play) your favorites over and over again.
It doesn’t matter how you listen — local radio, Pandora, your iPod — as long as you listen. Nobody wants to hear crap music.
Then again, what’s crap to you is music gold for someone else. Not everyone loves opera singing or country music, but there are opera and country fans out there.

Apparently, it’s that generational time again.
Web Watch knows a large number of women who are pregnant, or couples that just have had their first child in the past year or so. Maybe we’re just hanging out with people who happen to be of a particular “let’s have children” age in their lives right now.
We get it — having kids is usually something that’s carefully planned out and organized, and only rarely is caused by the random double-pairing of a dirty martini and a late night movie.

Stealing things from hotels can be a compulsion for some.
Sometimes, it’s the principle of the taking. When a luxury hotel charges you $400 (or more) a night for a suite, you sometimes feel obligated to take advantage of as much of the freebies as you can grab.

Going to a rock concert is an experience. Going to a GREAT rock concert is an experience you’ll be sharing with others for years – perhaps decades – to come.
We all have our favorite artists, but not all of them know how to give a great performance. Web Watch appreciates The Steve Miller Band, for instance, but didn’t need to hear them perform a 2-hour rendition of the Steve Miller’s Greatest Hits album.
We also recall one start-up band (whose name we will purposefully leave out) that had to fill a 30-minute set… but only had about 15 minutes worth of material. They opened with their hit, they closed with their hit – then, after being told backstage that they “need to get back out there”, finished their set by playing their hit a third time. Almost a text-book example of what the term ONE HIT WONDER really means.

Going to the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM is never a good time.
There’s no good food, the chairs are uncomfortable, there are germs everywhere… the hospital is not the place that you want to go to if you don’t already have a reason to be there.
So in the guise of helping parents, researchers at the NATIONWIDE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL IN COLUMBUS, OHIO went through thousands of child emergency room records from 2001 to 2009 to see if there were any trends in PREVENTABLE EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS that could be discovered through the data.
The theory is that if parents were aware of why children were going to the emergency room, maybe they could be more aware of those situations and prevent them from occuring in the first place.

Baby names are very important to get right.
Web Watch has heard parents struggle with getting the name of their offspring exactly right, that the monogram isn’t weird, or that they aren’t going to subject their kids to unmerciless teasing because their name just happens to rhyme with “fart”.
Kids can be cruel, but parents can be unintentionally cruel as well.
