Recently, I read an article in the June 2012 edition of Marie Claire about "The New 24hr Workday" and to my surprise I wasn't surprised at all that nowadays women are working themselves to a pulp. With all the technology that is at our disposal you would think that life would be simpler; however, it is not. Nowadays the work day "never actually ends". Have you found yourself jumping at every whim when you receive text messages, phone calls, and emails? Instead of women having more time for leisure and family many are putting in long hours of unending work. The "New 24hr Workday" looks something like this according to Elizabeth Eaves, "Nearly a third of us making more than $75,000 hold extreme jobs, and 28 percent of us logged more hours last year than we had just three years earlier." In addition, "69 percent think their jobs undermine their health, 46 percent think it hurts their relationship with their spouse, and 50 percent say it makes it impossible to have a satisfying sex

Every dad wants to give his daughter a memorable party. But Mike Hanley gave his daughter Jessica a father-daughter dance at her bat mitzvah that the 13-year-old most likely won't forget anytime soon. And if she does, there's always the video to jog her memory.

In the segment, they start out doing a typical awkward slow dance to "My Girl" by the Temptations. Sweet but standard. Suddenly the music switches to Whitney Houston, and the duo launches into a five-minute synchronized routine choreographed to LMFAO, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, and many, many more.

The two vogue, do the running dance, and even show their macarena. Hardly any dance from the last two decades was left out. Hanley, who is also a comedian, showed his funny side, and his daughter gave him the spotlight.

Hanley said it was his wife's idea to surprise their guests with some "crazy dance moves," and he attributes their video's viral success -- 800,000-plus views on YouTube -- to "practice, practice,

This article is my personal opinion. Take it for what it is worth.
In the last ten years, I cannot find a decent pair of eye glasses. They almost all look the same and the frames are inferior. I have three pair of sunglasses. I paid about twenty dollars each for them. They break and parts fall off of them. Who made these?
Then for the last twenty years, I cannot find a shoe to fit my foot. I am sick and tired of so many blisters. The socks fall apart and I know I am supposed to wear 100 per cent cotton so my feet can breathe. I cannot find good quality leather sneakers. Leather breathes. It gives and I have too many marks from poor fitting shoes. Where are these made?
The last two years, I bought summer flip flops. They are so flat with no instep they are ruining my feet. There is an arch in my foot that is high. It used to be easy to find proper fitting shoes.

I worked in a factory before I went into Nursing school. If a product I worked on was inferior, I had to redo it until I
