Jokes and Pictures about Kids and Parents
Love Those Kids - Clean Jokes
and Family Entertainment
Parents are people who have accepted one of the world’s great responsibilities - raising and caring for kids.
Let’s face it, raising kids is tremendous responsibility and as all parents know, it’s not fun and games. There are many trials, small and large, that families must deal with during the 20 years or so (more in some cases) that it takes to raise kids.
That’s where this site comes in. It’s like mental therapy for parents. These are the cleanest jokes on the Internet. There are jokes about kids and parents, life and living, cute pictures to look at, greeting cards, a photo galley and a little bit of mindless entertainment for those who are simply too exhausted to read. There’s even a playground that both parents and kids should find entertaining. All without any worry about content your kids (or you) don’t need to see.
EVERYTHING on this site should be appropriate for people of all ages. We have tried to ensure no offensive material is present anywhere on this site. If you have any concerns, please notify Content and your concerns will be promptly addressed. “

SquirrelMail - Webmail for Nuts!
What is SquirrelMail?
SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4. It includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no JavaScript required) for maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation.
Project Origins
The need arose in our organization for the access of email and address books from anywhere in the world. Obviously a web interface is ideal for this, given that the user has access to the Internet. After reviewing several open source projects we realized that we were going to need to do some fairly major customizations to get things to be a nice fit for our needs. So the decision was made to create our own for some of these reasons, and for fun (we really like PHP4). We decided to open source the project to contribute to the community that has contributed so much to us. “

Piraeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piraeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Piraeus roughly means ‘the place over the passage’. In very early antiquity Piraeus was a rocky island connected to the mainland by a low-lying stretch of land that was flooded with sea water most of the year and was used as a salt field whenever it dried up. Consequently it was called the ‘Halipedon’ (salt field) and its muddy soil made it a tricky passage. The area was increasingly silted and flooding ceased, and by early classical times the land passage was made safe. It was then that Piraeus assumed its importance as a deep water harbor, and the older, shallow Phaleron harbor fell into gradual disuse.
Themistocles was the first to urge the Athenians to take advantage of these harbours, instead of using the sandy bay of Phaleron. The fortification of Piraeus was begun in 493 BC. In 460 BC it was connected with Athens by the Long Walls. The original town of Piraeus was planned by the architect Hippodamus of Miletus in the famous grid system that he devised, probably in the time of Pericles. The promontory itself consisted of two parts, the hill of Munychia and the projection of Acte. On the opposite side of the harbour was the outwork of Eetioneia.
In 404 BC Munychia was seized by Thrasybulus and the exiles from Phyle, who then defeated the Thirty Tyrants in Athens. The three chief arsenals of Peiraeus were Munychia, Zea and Cantharus, which could contain 82, 196 and 94 ships respectively in the 4th century BC.
Large parts of the Themistoclean Walls around the shoreline survive in very good condition to this day, and are incorporated in seaside promenades. Remnants of the neosoikoi (’ships’ houses’), where the triremes were kept in wintertime, were also excavated and valuable information about ancient shipbuilding and sailing was obtained by their study.”
Sailing Ketch “Piraeus” Returns Home to Victoria Harbour

Sailing Ketch “Piraeus” Returns Home to Victoria Harbour
The traditional 44-foot sailing ketch, Piraeus, is returning to its home port of Victoria in late April in time to prepare tor the exciting Tall Ship Event in June. She will spend spring and summer chartering out of Victoria’s Inner Harbour. ‘We’ll be providing quite affordable three-hour sailing tours into Juan de Fuca Strait tor wildlife viewing and generally a wonderful experience for all ages,’ says her owner and captain, Bill Woodworth.
Piraeus was designed by famed Victoria designer Frank Fredette and built in 1957 by local resident Frank Wright. The boat was built of local woods and launched on the Upper Harbour. She has spent her life as a pleasure boat plying the BC coast in all types of weather.
In 2002 Bill Woodworth purchased Piraeus from Victoria’s Sail and Life Training Society (SALTS) and employed their shipyard to perform a complete restoration. The vessel was almost totally rebuilt over the next two and a half years, including all new machinery, electrics and electronics. Again, the work was carried out on the shores of Victoria Harbour, into which she was re-launched. Local woods were used but much of the trim was done in an exotic Central American hardwood similar to teak. All work was done to the yard’s highest standards and to meet Transport Canada’s stringent regulations; she is now registered as a passenger-carrying vessel. Captain Woodworth is fully Transport Canada certified and has more than 30 years experience on the BC coast.
