1. no-script is asking about 10 other sites

When I went to look at this my no-script add-on to firefox told me there were 10 other sites that wanted permission to execute who knows what on my system. Needless to say I won't be allowing them and therefore can't enjoy the pictures.

I wish everyone would make a huge stink about the proliferation of automatically executed scripts for no good reason.

the list:
echoenabled.com
js-kit.com
revsci.net
expressnightout.com
slate.com
theroot.com
trove.com
adsonair.com
scorecardresearch.com
yahooapis.com
doubleclick.net

not to mention washingtonpost.com itself and wapolabs.com

I did allow those two and was still blocked from viewing the sunsets.

Be aware of what you are signing up for.
(I have no association with no-script which is freeware).
