Authors@Google: Ayelet Waldman

In our mothers day there were good mothers, neglectful mothers, and occasionally great mothers. Today we have only Bad Mothers. If you work, youre neglectful; if you stay home, youre smothering. If you discipline, youre buying them a spot on the shrinks couch; if you let them run wild, they will be into drugs by seventh grade. If you buy organic, youre spending their college fund; if you dont, youre risking all sorts of allergies and illnesses. Is it any wonder so many women refer to themselves at one time or another as a bad mother? Ayelet Waldman says its time for women to get over it and get on with it, in a book that is sure to spark the same level of controversy as her now legendary Modern Love piece, in which she confessed to loving her husband more than her children. Covering topics as diverse as the hysteria of competitive parenting (Whose toddler can recite the planets in order from the sun?), the relentless pursuits of the Bad Mother police, balancing the work-family dynamic, and the bane of every mothers existence (homework, that is), Bad Mother illuminates the anxieties that riddle motherhood today, while providing women with the encouragement they need to give themselves a break.

Choosing the Best Mask For Your Masquerade Prom

Each year, there are thousands of prom celebrations at high schools across the country. The organizers of these proms are always looking for a great theme to use for the big night, and more and more of these people are choosing to use the masquerade ball prom theme for their school's prom. Still, many of the students and chaperons who are attending these great parties have no idea what a traditional and authentic masquerade prom mask looks like, and how to choose the best one for them. In this article, I will give a quick overview of how to choose a great prom mask that will make you catch everybody's eye!

The first key to choosing a really special and unique prom mask that you will enjoy wearing is to make sure that you choose a mask that you know you will be comfortable in and that you will have no problem wearing for several hours if you choose to. Plastic masks are out of the question because they are very hot to wear, they make your face sweat when you breathe into them and are just low quality in general. Paper Mache masks are better and can be very beautiful, yet they can also be a bit heavy and uncomfortable due to their rigid material that they are made from. Because of the above reasons, if you want to have the best possible quality mask that you will be completely comfortable in, make sure to buy an authentic Italian made fabric mask. These masks are very comfortable and very high quality, and are fairly inexpensive as well for the value that they provide.

So now that you know that a fabric mask is your best bet for a masquerade prom mask, you just have to find a mask that will match your outfit and that is made from the best quality feathers, trims, fabrics, paint, jewels and other materials.  These are not too hard to find if you do some good searching online and make sure to shop around.  Never sacrifice the quality of your mask for a lower price, because you will more than likely always regret it once your prom comes around!

There are hundreds of great styles that you can choose from for your masquerade ball prom mask, so be picky and explore your options.  Follow my tips, and you should be able to find a great mask that will really turn heads on your special night!

Bugaboos and the Wannabes Who Buy Them

Ever since the Bugaboo stroller came out I have been paying attention to them. I've watched people load them in and out of cars with less ease than I do with my Graco stroller. And it made me wonder why this stroller costs $1,000 and who would think that its reasonable to pay this much for one? They don't have a robotic arm for feeding (but that would be awesome if it did right?!)and they don't come with a "Mute Button" so baby will stop crying, so I just wonder.

I guess this would go under the topics of product reviews or how to waste your money on baby gear. I know Bugaboos are cute but I don't like getting my cute things dirty with baby fluids. They are sort if known as "the first time moms stroller" because only someone who doesn't know better can get duped into wasting $1,000 on a stroller. It doesn't even come with a cup holder or the accessories, they are all sold separately.

Would you walk with a $1,000 pair of Gucci shoes through a dirt road? Would you throw up on your Hermes handbag? Would you let someone use your Mercedes as a bathroom? Well I think you get my point. If you want to spend a little dough and still look cute get a Juicy Couture diaper Bag for less than $300

Don't spend more than $600 on a stroller! It is obscene and looks like your trying too hard. And in Los Angeles where it seems like everyone who has one also drives an Escalade while wearing Ed Hardy or Juicy Couture from head to toe it just comes off as trying to keep up with the Jones'.

Maybe some people look at it as a status symbol but I like to treat my expensive belongings such as Diamonds and Crystal nicely which means keep it away from the kids. All of the features of a good stroller can be found for way less than $1,000. Then maybe your day won't be ruined when your little one spits up all over it.

Good for the environment and best for your baby, that is the good thing about using cloth and it does not tend to harm anybody else.

Colossal Baby Confounds Doctors

CHEN: It's no mystery that some children are just naturally big. But it is a mystery how an eleven-month Colombian child got to be so unnaturally huge. Let's find about more about this little BIG boy. STORY: The boy's mother, Milena Orosco de Agudelo, says her son's exponential growth began when he was just sixty days-old. Tests show the baby has an endocrine system condition, as well as some other medical problems. [Milena Orosco de Agudelo, Boy's Mother]: "He had some tests done and the results show that he has a thyroid malfunction. Then, he had a carpogram test done and that test shows that he has the bones of an 8 year-old boy, but they have not told me where that came from." Dr. David Dias of the Barranquilla Pediatric Hospital says the baby is still undergoing testing. [Dr. David Dias, Pediatric Physician]: "The baby will have tests done to see if he's obese or if we're dealing with hyperthyroidism." The normal weight for an eleven-month old boy is between thirteen and sixteen pounds. But because of his weight, he cannot even wear his older brother's old clothes, and is limited to wearing extra large diapers.

A Kilt is More than Just a Skirt for Men!

The Kilt has been the target of many a joke and ribald comment for more years than it can probably remember!

But is it fair for it to be the butt of so many jokes?

After all, not only is the Kilt a recognised fashion item in it's own right, it's also more importantly a world recognised symbol of a country and the fierce national pride contained within!

Many a soldier has shuddered and shaken in fear in centuries gone when faced with a Scottish Warrior, kilt swirling in steadfast defiance of normality, broadsword or other razor sharp lethal weapon cutting huges scythes in the air as he charged.

Indeed, many fields of war were won purely by the arrival of Scotsmen dressed in their tradional tartan kilts. To many, the knowledge that the wearer wore nothing underneath was cause enough to panic! Add to this the ferocity of such a warrior and not many would stand up in front of them.

But ever since those heady days of hand to hand combat and battles fought face to face, some of the mystery and folklore of the Kilt remains. Ideas that you can only wear a Tartan Kilt if you are a member of that clan still abide today, wrongly in many cases.

Maybe this stops some people wearing a kilt?

Or does the fear of society's view of a man effectively wearing what many still describe as a skirt also play a strong part?

But then what of those men among us who are recognised as being the manliest of men? Does wearing a kilt reduce their appearance and reputation at all? Famous celebrities such as Sean Connery, Billy Connely, Ewan McGregor or Mel Gibson?

How many women did - and still would - swoon clean away to see Mel Gibson walking towards them, kilt swaying in time to his steps? I strongly suspect - most! It would not be a swoon induced by dislike or scorn neither, more of one where they're opinion has been enhanced as to the character and strength of the man involved.

I had the great pleasure of wearing a kilt many, many years ago when I was 6. The occassion was as a Page Boy for my Uncle and Aunts wedding. White ruffled shirt, red and blue tartan kilt with sporran and shoes. the only thing missing was the Dirk. For some reason never suitably explained by my parents, they seemed very nervous of letting their 6 year old offspring walk around with a small dagger shoved into the top of his sock! Spoilsports!

Even now, looking back at the old black and white photos - yes, it WAS that long ago - I get a thrill of seeing myself dressed like that.

Why?

Because it was different, unique and - dare I say it - I looked damn good! (I seem to remember it made a huge impression on my fellow official for the occasion, the bridesmaid called Candy, a curly blonde haired girl a year older than me. I have a misty memory of her asking her mom why i was wearing a skirt!)

A kilt nowadays plays a much larger part. Beyond the more well known kilts of Scotland with their heritage of history behind each unique Tartan design, comes the Kilts of Ireland and Wales in family crests or solid colors.

With society relaxing it's own strict and nonsensical ideas of what is right and what is wrong, more men are coming to wear kilts, enjoying the uniqueness and freedom such a garment gives.

It is now more common to attend company dinners, awards and opening nights and spot one or two men dressed in kilted splendour.

Indeed, a whole new industry is beginning to grow - assisted by the internet with it's ease of ordering and choosing - where new styles, designs and ideas of the traditional kilt are being tested and reworked.

For example, you can now buy kilts in camo pattern or kilts with pockets either side as opposed to the standard requirement for a sporran.

As for me and the kilt - as I get older and less worried about what other people think of me, the thoughts do stray to when I was 6 years old and how proud I felt dressed in such regal splendour. With the hot weather getting hotter each day a cooling breeze would certainly be more welcome as well!

Now then, where did I put that sporran and dirk?

Party Supplies For Every Party Ranging From Holidays to Wedding Guest Favors

Happiness and surprises go hand in hand just as cake and ice cream do on a birthday. It seems that everything on Earth has something which goes complementary with it. Some people put highlights in their hair in order to complement their faces, and some people wear eyeliner in order to draw more attention to their eyes.

When you think of weddings you think of parties and naturally gifts automatically spring to mind. Along with wedding parties come wedding party favors. These favors are given to the wedding guests, which is why some refer to them as wedding guest favors instead of party favors. No matter what type of party you throw or attend, the party supply stores are guaranteed to have a themed party favor supply which coincides with your party's theme.

The most publicized parties are those surrounding the infamous holiday known as Halloween. Often attended by costume wearing guests, these specific parties are usually talked about months after they have passed. Perhaps this is because Hollywood throws so much emphasis on it in the media. This is true even with the amusement parks.

Every year Universal Studios hosts their special effects shin dig that is glamorously decorated and carefully constructed with party favors and memorabilia for all of its guests. Major corporations seem to zone in on Christmas parties to boost sales and to bring a smile to children's faces with their winter wonderland type decor. It seems as though party supply companies and party favor manufactories make and market merchandise for literally any and all occasions ranging from holidays and birthdays, to celebratory weekend party supplies.

They even make green top hats for people who celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Even still, the most heard of party favor made would have to be party beads. These are beaded necklaces that are given out or purchased at football games, all the way to Mardi Gras. Some times these types of party favors are even given out as prizes at school sponsored festivals. One thing is for certain about this industry though, so long as there are people that like to party, there will defiantly be party supply companies.

What is your favorite holiday? Do you prefer the gruesome and supernatural elements of All Hallows Eve just as so many millions of others do? Nevertheless, there are bound to be some type of party decor which appeals to you. Sometimes people throw parties in order to honor the memory of their fallen brethren but now more then ever people are throwing welcome home parties for soldiers returning home from the war.

People find and make any reason to throw parties. Adolescent sweet sixteen parties are thrown to mark the coming of age of a child that has grown into a teenager. These parties also mark the age in which a child can obtain their drivers license and permits. Graduation parties are thrown in order to mark the transition from one educational facility and level to another. These are usually thrown for children at the end of their fifth, eighth, and twelfth grade years in school. They are also thrown to mark and commemorate the graduating classes of college students whom have mastered the areas in which they went to college to study. Every single day out of the year, someone some where is throwing a party, and every day someone somewhere is purchasing party favors and supplies.




Aaron Hu is a leading author on a wide range of well published wedding articles. If you are looking for unique wedding favors, E-WeddingFavors.com has the biggest selection available. You will also find all types of wedding favors and much more, all at very affordable prices.

UV Suits, Surf Suits, Sunsuits - What Are They and How Do They Work?

UV protective swimsuits for children are a relatively new phenomenon, they were introduced into the UK at the end of the 90's and joined mainstream fashion from around 2002. There is no standard nomenclature in the market for sun protective swimwear.

UV suit is the most common term, but surf suit, sunsuit, skin and the rather horrible "rash suit" are all used interchangeably in the trade. Whatever you call it, this is a swimsuit designed to protect the wearer from sun damage and works in two ways: it covers more skin than a traditional swimsuit, and the fabric used is specifically designed to block out the sun's damaging rays.

The basic style of the garment doesn't vary much: most go from elbow to knee, with a high neck and zip up front. This gives good coverage of the areas of a child's body most prone to burn, but allows freedom of movement and is fairly cool to wear. Styles with long sleeves and legs are available, but many children find these restrictive and hot. The better cut UV suits have panels so the garment fits the body shape and moves well when wet.

The fabric used in a protective garment of this kind should have a UPF rating and the manufacturer should display this on the garment tags. UPF is the fabric's Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF50+ is the highest rating awarded to fabric. A garment with UPF50 will allow one fiftieth of the UVR to pass through, UPF40 will allow one fortieth and so on. This means :
- A UPF50+ garment will block more than 98% of the sun's rays
and
- A UPF40+ will block more than 97.5%.
A child wearing a garment with UPF50+ could spend 4 hours (240 minutes) in the sun and receive less than 5 minutes worth of damaging rays on covered areas (240 minures/50 = 4.8 mins). Of course, in the summer care must always be taken to ensure exposed skin is covered with properly applied sunscreen (SPF is a measure of the protection provided by sunscreens) and eyes protected with sunglasses.

The protection on most UPF50 UV suits does not come from a chemical finish to the fabric, but by the incredibly dense knit. Most have a very high lycra content to ensure the garment keeps its shape well when wet and either a ploycotton or nylon base. The nylon/lycra is the faster drying option and is better for children who are in and out of the water constantly without getting changed. The polycottons and blended fabrics have a more natural hand touch, but do take considerably longer to dry and so are better used for paddling rather than swimming as the higher water retention can be chilling.

Fabric testing is done in laboratories on dry, unstretched fabric for consistent results. Europe and Australia use a slightly different spectrum to test fabric so protective garments marketed in both hemispheres should be tested to both standards. The regulations governing testing in Europe is EN13758-1 2002 and in Australia and New Zealand AS/NZ 4399-1996.

A limited range of specialist protective swimwear is available in the High Street, and a wide variety is available all year around from on-line stores which specialise in protective swimwear for children.




Lion in the Sun is now one of the leading brands of UV protective swimwear in Europe. The company has own brand e-commerce stores in the UK, USA and New Zealand as well as distributing to many independent shops in Europe. The range of sun protective swimwear includes: UV suits and aquanappies for babies; sun suits and swimsuits for toddlers; fashionable mix and match tankinis, bikinis and jackets for older girls; boys 19 and girls 19 board shorts and rash vests; plus a variety of hats and accessories for all ages. Lion in the Sun sells retail swimwear to over 100 countries, post free, from its flagship webshop: http://www.lioninthesun.com/

How to Relieve Morning Sickness

The term 'morning sickness' refers to nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, however, it does not necessarily have to strike during the morning hours only. The pregnant woman can experience it any time of the day or night. It is however perfectly normal to have this tendency when you are expecting. It does not mean that you or your baby is sick. It happens because of the hormonal changes inside your body after conception.

Useful Tips

Here are certain do's and don'ts that can help you get relief from the problem-


  • Take small but more frequent meals throughout the day so that whatever you eat can be digested easily. You should never be too full or too hungry. Never skip your meals.


  • If you do not like the aroma or smell of certain food items, you should avoid them. Stay away from foods that bother you or make you queasy.

  • Avoid fatty, greasy, spicy, and rich foods.


  • When you feel queasy, try eating bland food, such as chicken broths, Popsicles, Jell-O, ginger ale and pretzels.


  • Increase your carbohydrate intake. For example, you can include dry toast, white rice, and plain baked potato in your diet plan.


  • In the morning when you awake, you are strongly recommended to eat a few saltine crackers. It will calm your stomach before you get out of the bed.


  • If you are taking some vitamin supplements as prescribed by your doctor but you strongly think that these vitamins are actually aggravating the problem of morning sickness for you, you should consult your doctor. Changing the vitamins may lessen your problem.


  • Wearing "acupressure" wristbands has also found to be very useful to relieve the problem of nausea. These are the same bands that people wear when they travel in a boat or ship in order to prevent seasickness.


  • Get plenty of rest. Try to get a short nap during the day.


  • If you have to cook for your family, you had better turn on the exhaust fan or open the window so that the odor does not bother you. It would be better to hire someone else to cook for you during your pregnancy term.


  • In order to avoid dehydration, you should drink plenty of fluids - small amounts but more frequently.


  • Do not drink water while you are taking your meals. There must be a gap of at least half an hour between your meals and drinks - it can be either before or after the meals.


  • You should never lie down just after you have taken your meal.


  • In order to relieve nausea, you can also eat watermelon, drink lemonade, and sniff lemon or ginger.




It is also very important for you to understand that when you feel hot, it adds to morning sickness or nausea. Therefore, you should try to keep cool. In spite of everything if you nausea still persists, you should talk to your health care professional about it. Visit pregnancy resources for more information.
