Alright, FriendFeeders, which one should I go with?
Myrna, Mitchell Tsai, James Stratford and 30 other people liked this
The one on the left. :-)
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
The first one
- Dan Hsiao
Right.
- τorƍue
first one ;) may b u can change colors but as theme? definitely first one =]
- emre dede ve haremi
The one on the right caught my eye first than the one on the left because of the pictures. The text on the left catches my eye more than the one on the right.
- imabonehead
I love the photos on the second one best!! I like both designs, but like the first design a little better.
- Rachel Lea Fox
first one
- VAL D. Zone
The one on the left with the top pic of the right swapped for the first pic. Not that I enjoy being difficult or anything. Is this Tinyprints?
- Heather Solos
loving #1 left
- barbarars
The second one; on the right
- Itachi
Why don't you test the pages with google website optimizer?
- Serbay Arda Ayzit
Can't go wrong with either of those. First one is better.
- ashish
First one.
- David Schmidt
The one on the right. The lighting is much warmer. The lighting on the left is too cold. The first photo on the left looks foreboding.
- Tracy
Left. Right feels too much like some sort of promotional piece.
- Kevin Fox
Left, definitely.
- Jason Huebel
I like the one on the left better, but the first picture could be replaced with the photo from the bottom left on the right version and it should say 2009 somewhere.
- Clare Dibble
The left, but I agree with Clare's idea of switching those pictures.
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
I like the big picture on the right the best; the kids look great and they're facing the reader. And the pop of green brightens the card.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
If it's a personal card, go with the one on the left. If it's for professional/business acquaintances, go with the one on the right.
- Curtiss Grymala
I would say the left one.
- Mitch
Another vote for the left.
- Yolanda
Left.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
LEFT :)
- Susan Beebe
Right but swap the Peace, Love, Joy with the one from the Left. Makes it more playful and less...corporate?
- EricaJoy
The first one.
- Alex Hellstrom
from iPod
Right.
- cecily
The one on the right.
- Paolo Ferrandi

The one on the right :)
- AJ Batac

I like the one on the left better. (Glad we could help you decide.)
- Bruce Lewis
I'm on Team Right
- Jesse Stay
Left.
- Alix Whitmire
+1 for Left
- Atul Arora
Left.
- H0llywoodWh0re
Easy -- on the Right. Bigger pictures over bigger fonts on a holiday card every time. They're not for reading, they're for looking at!
- Eric Borisch
I would like to put in a write-in candidate for a card with a picture of the whole family - Paul, April, Camilla, and Thomas. I like seeing the adults too!
- Robert Felty
The one on the right.
- Alex Scoble
The one on the right
- Pete Gilbert
left
- Sinem Co
+1 Right
- Mitch
wrong left
- imran
right
- Helen Sventitsky
Left. and switch the pics like everyone else said.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
The one on the right but switch the green for the brown from the one on the left.
- Adewale Oshineye
I'll pick the second one!
- Milton Ramirez
I like the one on the right more.
- Josh Haley
I like the photos on the right, but I like the design on the left.
- Karen Padham Taylor
Thanks for your help, everyone!! :) I think I'm going to go with the design on the left, but replacing the picture on the left panel with the picture in the middle panel and putting the picture from the bottom left panel of the design on the right in the middle panel of the design on the left. (Am I confusing you yet?) I'm also going to make some changes on the font, as well.
- April Buchheit
They both look good, but with the change you decided on it'll work very nicely.
- James Stratford
Rob: Getting a picture of the whole family has proven to be a difficult task for the Buchheit family. Obtaining collective cooperation from all members (both children and adults) is a daunting endeavor.
- April Buchheit
Heather: Yes, this is from Tinyprints. :)
- April Buchheit
April - tell Paul I'm expecting the full family for 2010.
- Robert Felty
Rob: Aye, aye, sir! :)
- April Buchheit
April, I work @TinyPrints so won't be much help deciding:) But, you know we're local in Mountain View right? Happy to set you (or anyone else) up with our best discount if you're interested. Feel free to reach out. I'll need to DM the code.

April, it sounds like it'll turn out cute :) We have four kids and can't get them all to look at the camera either. I went with a single shot of each to save my sanity.

Jeff (the マクダジ of FF), Mark Trapp, Seth Garrison and 26 other people liked this
"Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. -- all to no avail. One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity"

No kitty! That's a bad kitty!
- April Buchheit
that's GREAT!!!
- Felicia Yue
Wait....now that i actually think about it, if the couple didn't know about this before the sick day, then that would imply the cat hid this behavior when the ppl were home. so if he knew enough to do that, then why is he still engaging in the behavior when someone is standing right there watching and videotaping him?
- Felicia Yue
i'm totally overthinking this, aren't i? </brain flywheeling>
- Felicia Yue
I actually wonder that, too, Felicia.
- April Buchheit
Everybody knows a cat can't flush a toilet!
- Gabe
Felicia++. But y'know, if they could have trained the cat to poop in the toilet and flush, it might have nearly been worth it...
- Andrew C
I'm gonna go ahead and call shenanigans on this one.

11-year-old gives birth to baby girl after going into labor at her WEDDING! - http://www.nydailynews.com/news...

"An 11-year-old girl became one of the world's youngest mothers - after she went into labor at her wedding. Kordeza Zhelyazkova, from Sliven, Bulgaria, was still wearing her wedding dress and tiara when she was rushed to the hospital, where she gave birth to a 5-pound, 8-ounce girl."
- Jessie

""I'm not going to play with toys anymore - I have a new toy now," Kordeza told reporters as she showed off little Violeta."

"The family planned a three-day Roma wedding so Kordeza and Jeliazko could be married before the baby arrived. But Kordeza went into labor on the second day. "I had been having pain in the morning and a couple of hours into the wedding, it got worse." She was rushed to hospital and gave birth 20 minutes later."

Jess, there are ways to make them work. Look in some fashion books if necessary. They're just really not for me personally.

- Spidra Webster
They're like tightened-up harem pants... what would you call them, Spidra? They're not just capris.
- Kamilah Gill
I couldn't wear them (I think) but I think they would look great on you. With some strappy and maybe even studded high heel sandals, and a flowy trapeze tank. When it gets colder, add some funky colored tights and a boxy jacket or sweater shawl.
- Jeanette Bosman
Reminds me of MC Hammer pants! Jess, I think you could pull it off....
- Karen Padham Taylor
I am wearing them right now actually.
- Jess Lee
The ones depicted? I'd call them knickers. Although not in the UK.
- Spidra Webster
Yup, I'm wearing the exact same black ones as shown in the photo. The green version shows the drape more clearly -- http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban...

I think they look fabulous on some girls (stylish, skinny) but I think the look is hard to pull off.

We're thinking about visiting the Rochester area this summer, but flying into Toronto and spending a couple of days there. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do in Toronto with the kids?
Rudolf Olah, Andre P. Siregar, Tony Ruscoe and 4 other people liked this
I haven't lived in the Toronto area for over 10 years, but from my memory: Ontario Science Centre is great and Casa Loma is very interesting. The Toronto Zoo is good if you like zoos and the Royal Ontario Museum is good if you like museums. Ontario Place is an amusement park which I remember being lots of fun when I was a kid. The CN Tower is the defacto landmark, but I was so young the last time I went there that I have no memory of it.
- Laurence Gonsalves
By the way: Canada's Wonderland (just north of Toronto) is very similar to Great America, so you probably don't want to even consider it.
- Laurence Gonsalves
I don't think we're ready for theme parks yet what with Camilla being only 4 (and quite averse to trying new experiences) and Thomas just having turned 1.
- April Buchheit
Yeah, I didn't think so. That list was roughly in order of descending "a good place to take very young kids"-ness, though in addition to my "haven't lived in the Toronto area for over 10 years" disclaimer I should add that I've only been a dad for 6 months, so I probably don't have my suitable for kids sense finely tuned just yet. :-)
- Laurence Gonsalves
When I was a kid I loved Ontario Science Center, Ontario Place, Toronto Island, and the CN Tower. I haven't lived around there in 5+ years, so I can find out from friends some good places to eat at.... Just let me know!
- Karen Padham Taylor
I agree with Karen. Those are all the things we did when I went to Toronto as a child.

Find peasant style Chinese food you can no longer find in the Bay Area unless you make it yourself.
- John Lam
CORRECTION: You asked about Toronto, not Rochester. The following only applies to Rochester: You can go to the most popular greasy spoon dive in Rochester: Nick Tahou's Hots: http://www.garbageplate.com/ You'll probably want to die afterward, but it is good tasting but maybe 0% healthy. You'll see all types there - men in business suits + the homeless, etc.
- O.Shane
I would add the Hockey Hall of Fame, since it is Canada you are visiting:) And if you want a slice of something more like the Mission in SF try Queen St. West, or College St for coffee shops, funky shopping etc. The new Distillery area east of Jarvis is a cool renovated industrial building with great new restaurants etc.
- Johnny B
Laurence's and Karen's lists are very good. If you're there late August, you might try the Canadian National Exhibition, a kind of strange mixture of midway rides and agricultural show (though my memory of this is 30-40 years old now, so who knows what it is like today). You should probably stop briefly in Niagara Falls on the way to Rochester.
- Howard Trickey
Howard: We'll definitely stop by Niagara Falls on the way to Rochester. I probably shouldn't get too ambitious in terms of doing a bunch of stuff as the kids may not tolerate visits to museums and theme parks (frankly, we adults may not, either). Is there a good hotel to stay where it's within walking distance of nice coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping? Realistically, I think what we'll end up doing is just walk around.
- April Buchheit
Last time we went to Toronto we spent a lot of time shopping on Bloor Street (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...). We also ran into David Beckham trying on sun glasses in a department store (YMMV). Toronto also has a great Chinatown. Let us know when you'll be in Rochester :)
- Benjamin Golub
I agree with Ben about Chinatown. It's a great place to eat. We went to Bright Pearl Seafood Restaurant for Dim Sum (http://www.brightpearlseafood.com/). If you want to just walk around, The Distillery District (http://www.thedistillerydistrict.com/) is pretty quiet and relaxing, with a few boutique shops. They have Segways too! I'm not sure whether this is really suitable for kids but the Steam Whistle Brewing (http://www.steamwhistle.ca/) brewery is a good place to sample their beer after a quick tour...
- Tony Ruscoe
Richtree is a fun place to eat with kids. If you drive to Rochester, make sure you check the border wait times at the three crossings. The wait times can vary quite a bit (electronic maps seem to favor the Lewiston bridge, which can be busier) but the travel times are similar http://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/ or 1-800-715-6722. You can see the falls from the Rainbow bridge. If there still was a ferry, I'd recommend that :-).

Royal Ontario Museum isn't too bad and they have a kids section somewhere. Definitely go to Queen St West, also Bloor St. Oh, maybe Harbour Front has things to do too: http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/

Hahaha, getting ready for summer, are we?
- Amber
I really want an soft-serve ice cream maker.....
- Karen Padham Taylor
I have this and it works very well. The capacity is good and it works better than my old frozen-bowl maker.
- Brian Johns
The colder your freezer, the better. (Also, be sure to refrigerate the mix before freezing) I've actually considered looking for food grade liquid Nitrogen for this.
- Brian Johns
Karen, we have one of these as well. The ice cream comes out at about the same texture as soft-serve, so you may want to give it a try! If you have a KitchenAid mixer already, you're welcome to borrow our ice cream attachment to try it out.
- Jeanette Bosman
It comes out of the "freezing" process (the part where you blend it in the machine) soft, but it should harden up to the consistency of regular ice cream after being in the freezer for a while. Even commercially made ice cream needs to harden before it achieves final hardness.
- Brian Johns
@Amber: Yeah, we have a local strawberry farm with amazing berries, and I got to thinking, what if I could turn those into amazing strawberry ice cream? It is almost 100 degrees out, after all...

@j1m -- I tend to agree, there must be a connection. @all -- the second installment of CA property tax is due on March 1st. April 10th is the end of the grace period.

ABC Family HD; in Blu-Ray it would be even better. Program guide says 720p, Tivo says 1080i, but all I know is I can see people riding bicycles in the background that I've never seen before; it must be a park on the other side of the lake!

A lot don't get Easter Monday only Good Friday. The later is a Canadian Statutory holiday while Federally regulated employees also get Easter Monday. For others it is a matter of having it negotiated into a union contract or by "common custom" or Provincial legislation (as is the case in BC) but it is not for required non-federal employees to get Monday as a holiday.
