Kaur told the Agence France-Presse that they were overjoyed to welcome the child, especially after decades of taunting over infertility. “I feel blessed to be able to hold my own baby. I had lost hope of becoming a mother ever,” Kaur told AFP. “I used to feel empty. There was so much loneliness.”

This is actually the advice I give a lot of new parents. My wife and I kept our son in our bedroom for his first year, and I needed a way to wake up early in the morning (on the off chance my son didn’t wake me up first) without rousing my wife and newborn. I bought a Jawbone Up solely for the silent vibrating alarm…

My wife’s water broke at 32 weeks and change, and our son spent 3 weeks in the NICU. Not fun. Premature birth is rough (though obviously, experiences vary, and things are way worse for some than others). But it is demoralizing when you (a) can’t see or hold your baby right away because they go from being born behind a…

What’s surprising (but really shouldn’t be) is how improvised so many aspects of the the whole experience are, and how many random curveballs there can be, even though it’s something that happens so frequently, you’d think it would be routine. I blame television and movies for perpetuating the idea of the “routine…

Camp Nowhere was basically revisited in 2006 with Accepted. Both were more watchable than they had any right to be...

Maybe it’s the rape, or the violence, or how it’s really boring. Everyone seems to have an opinion about why Game of Thrones, once a mesmerizing fantasy land that darkly mirrored modern day dilemmas, has become near unwatchable.

And as someone who just bought one, I am fully in favor of them not rolling out a new one a month after I dropped money on the first gen model.

Is there any word on when the next generation of Amazon Echo is going to be unveiled? I know that it was only released a little under a year ago, and there’s probably not a lot about the current hardware that needs to be upgraded, but I’m curious as to what the next version will bring. I’ve seen literally no news…

This by Tinrocket takes a more minimalist approach.

Yeah, many, many parts of Europe are...um..like that. America’s obviously got its own fair share of issues with rape culture, but almost every account I’ve ever heard from young women who have traveled through or lived in Europe by themselves or with other girls makes it sound as though they had to deflect sexual…

I was truthfully not aware of that bit (because I just don’t care for Steve Martin’s schtick), but I’m not surprised that I’m not the first to draw the analogy.

Haha... I actually have an economics degree (in addition to my J.D.), years of real-world experience, and — oh, right — actual experience litigating the exact issue that’s the subject of this article and conversation. The reason my background and/or expertise hasn’t come up before now is that I’m not the one spouting…

When you’re at that conference, make sure you give the attendees a cocktail napkin whenever they take a canape, and don’t start serving the mini-cannolis until all of the pigs in a blanket are gone. Good luck, buddy.

[pats Daniel Blois gently on his styrofoam helmet]

I love this. It needs to be made into a readily available series of flyers and window decals so that residents can post and/or circulate them whenever the jackass in 6B starts renting out his apartment to any random asshole with an Internet connection and a credit card.

Haha. Yeah, I thought about throwing in my two cents when I read the original post, but then I read through the comment threads. I put the odds at about 50/50 that Daniel Blois is just a generic troll or, in the alternative, some asshole kid with a dog-eared copy of Libertarianism for Dummies.

Every time some asshole wants to be a big shot and lights up a cigar, the smell radiates for MILES. I didn’t ask to smell a cigar. Did you ask to smell a cigar? Cigar bros think their cigars smell like Jesus farts. They think they’re doing you a favor by sending the stink your way.

This. I agree that the completely convoluted nature of Jackie’s story and the way it was brought to the public’s attention makes it very difficult to tell with any degree of certainty how much, if any, of it is true. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a case where the need to believe and empathize with alleged victims (and,…

However, the upcoming changes demand that drivers can’t have “any conversation related to sexual acts and sexual contact,” as well as making remarks related to “sexual conduct, gender, physical appearance, expressing a desire to see or touch another person’s body or expressing a desire to enter into any type of…

Yeah, at first blush, it does seem like kind of a silly technology-for-the-sake-of-technology feature, but one advantage is that you don’t have to lift the grill cover to look at a traditional meat thermometer and thus lose some of the heat of the grill in the process.
