Her Little-Girl Routine

There are times in almost every relationship when a man feels more like a parent than a partner. That's because many women retain, well into adulthood, some of the bad habits that they developed as children. Back when your wife or girlfriend was daddy's little girl, she acquired all sorts of tricks and schemes to use in her little-girl routine, which helped ensure that she always got her way. Her little-girl routine might have included tears, tantrums or baby talk.She had a series of strategies designed to manipulate father dearest, and those same strategies might, at some point, be used to manipulate you. You may think her little-girl routine is no big deal, but it's essential for guys to recognize that such childish behavior indicates neediness and must not be encouraged. Giving in to her little-girl routine now will only cause you bigger problems down the road as she becomes increasingly demanding and self-centered.

Her neediness
Neediness is the foundation of her little-girl routine. Initially, it might seem flattering when she calls you five times a day, but most guys know that this aspect of her little-girl routine gets old quickly.Neediness, as it relates to her little-girl routine, goes something like this: Whenever you're not around she tells you she's "lonely," and when you are around, she wants your undivided attention. You might convince yourself that she really does "need" you, but don't be fooled.The truth about neediness is that it’s a kind of selfishness; it indicates that she doesn't really care about you, your desires or your responsibilities. She's only thinking about herself.Deal with her little-girl routine: Set boundaries and stick to them: See her on Friday and have a boys' night out on Saturday. Have dinner with her on Tuesday and work late on Wednesday. Good girlfriends don't guilt trip. If she makes you feel guilty for every second you're not taking care of her, give your relationship a time-out.

Her tantrums
Every woman screams and yells occasionally, but a tantrum is different than your average female freak-out. A woman throwing a tantrum is entirely unreasonable and almost completely inconsolable, which is why we’ve classified it as part of her little-girl routine. She'll go nuclear over the smallest things and she'll appear to have no control over her emotions. She might even say hurtful things or tell you she hates you. Tantrums have one purpose: To make your life a living hell until you give her what she wants.Deal with her little-girl routine: Women, like children, use tantrums to get their way; therefore, the worst possible response is to cave in. You might think it's easier to give in than to put up with her screaming, but if you show her that screaming gets her what she wants, she'll just scream more often. Ignore tantrums at all costs.

Her crying
Women cry. We get that, but a woman working her little-girl routine will turn on the waterworks at strategic moments in order to manipulate you. Let's say you're upset with her and you need to communicate your dissatisfaction; she might use tears to get you to back off or to make you feel guilty for getting mad at her. Suddenly, instead of confronting her, you're comforting her.Deal with her little-girl routine: If she starts to cry, give her space and take a break. Tell her that you can finish your conversation once she's composed herself.

Her baby talk
Baby talk can be tricky, because it seems like a sign of intimacy. It might be funny or even adorable, but baby talk is just another aspect of her little-girl routine. It's almost impossible to have a serious conversation with her when one or both of you are talking like babies.Also, baby talk sucks all the sexual chemistry out of your relationship; her baby talk might be cute as she feeds you some birthday cake, but when she says how cute your penis is in her little-girl voice, you might end up with thoughts of pigtails and jump rope, which is a major blood-drainer.Deal with her little-girl routine: Don't initiate and don't reciprocate. While she may start the baby talk, it's important that you don't follow suit. It's trickier to cut back on baby talk once you've started, so just don't start.

Her pouting
Pouting can be the most frustrating aspect of her little-girl routine because if she doesn't get her way, she shuts down. She'll get sullen and quiet. She might abruptly cancel plans or refuse to leave the house.She deliberately makes herself unpleasant to be around as a means of punishing you for disappointing her. She might even pout in public, at a party or a club, which can be both irritating and embarrassing.Deal with her little-girl routine: Pouting must be ignored. Remember that she's trying to get attention and, specifically, she's trying to punish you for disappointing her. If she wants to be miserable, let her. You should socialize, go out and have a good time. Show her she does not dictate when you do and don't get to have fun.

5 Things You Didn't Know About James Bond

The timeless James Bond is everyone’s favorite spy, and he's been successfully killing bad guys, scoring beautiful women and saving the world on the big screen since 1962’s Dr. No. When he released Casino Royale in 1953, English novelist Ian Fleming could never have imagined the heights of popularity his 007 character would reach. Since then, Bond has been played by six different actors in more than 20 movies and has appeared in cartoons, radio programs and video games. Yet, despite all this exposure, we’ve found five things you probably didn’t know about James Bond.

1- James Bond was inspired by an American zoologist
To come up with his Bond character, Fleming pooled traits from several people he knew and had read about. In naming his soon-to-be famous spy, Fleming picked James Bond after the famed bird expert with the same name. Bond wrote the acclaimed Birds of the West Indies, considered by many experts to be the definitive book on Caribbean birds. To come up with Bond’s cool demeanor, Fleming took attributes from real-life spies Sidney Reilly and Sir William Stephenson, as well as popular jazz composer Hoagy Carmichael. In fact, Fleming, who worked in British naval intelligence, also channeled his former peers in the creation of his iconic character.

2- Bond was created on summer vacation
Agent 007 may have never materialized had Fleming not bargained with one of his bosses. Specifically, when Fleming applied for a job with Kemsley Newspapers, owned by the famed London Sunday Times, he asked that he be granted two months of vacation each year. His request was approved, and each year from 1953 until his death in 1964, Fleming used those months to write a different Bond novel while vacationing at his Jamaican estate. The estate’s name? Goldeneye.

3- Bond has a drink every 24.3 minutes
It’s not uncommon for the world’s best spy to crash the most lavish parties around the world, and while he’s there, he might as well have a drink if it’s offered. Bond’s staple is the classic vodka martini, shaken, not stirred, but he’s also been known to sample other drinks. In the Bond films up to Casino Royale, Bond is seen to consume 114 drinks -- the equivalent of one every 24.3 minutes. Interestingly enough, he drinks champagne more than anything (35 glasses) and only enjoys one beer. In the Bond novels, he drinks a total of 317 alcoholic drinks -- one every seven pages, on average. Though he may enjoy the occasional drink, Bond has steered clear of smoking since 2002’s Die Another Day -- which was the last time he smoked a cigar.

4- There are only seven 00s
You’re forgiven if you were under the impression that Bond’s MI6 organization was fully stocked with agents. Throughout the movies, we learn that Bond is one of just seven 00 agents spying for the British, but he has the best knack for staying alive. In different movies, we’ve see the deaths of 002, 003, 004, and 009. Agent 006, believed killed, returns as the villain in GoldenEye before he’s disposed of. Besides Bond, only the unnamed 008 proves to be a skilled agent. He’s mentioned several times as Bond’s replacement should he die or be pulled off a mission for insubordination. It’s unclear why no 001 or 005 have ever been mentioned.

5- Bond became a 00 at the age of 38
In each movie, we learn a little more about not only Bond, but also his background -- and it all amounts to what would be a very impressive resume. A decorated serviceman, Bond attended the University of Geneva, served in the Royal Navy and later joined the special forces. While there, he was successful in several key missions across the globe. Still needing a challenge, Bond joined MI6 at the age of 30, and 8 years later received the prestigious 00 status, granting him a licence to kill for his country. More than just a typical action hero, the cerebral Bond holds a degree in Oriental languages, is fluent in English, French, German, Italian, and Russian, and can get by with passable Greek, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese.

Get A Raise In Three Months

You finally found the job you’ve been searching for, breezed through the interview, negotiated a salary and ultimately got the job. You’re excited and scared and the same time, but now your focus has turned to: how to get a raise in three months of work. You may think it’s impossible, but it’s actually easier than you think.

Your new employer has already shown commitment by hiring you. They obviously believe that you will be a valuable asset for them, but they don’t know it yet because you haven’t started working there. When you do start, your first priority is to be enthusiastic. This will get you on the right track to your first pay raise when you show them that you want to be there and are happy to get your career under way. Most companies review employees within the first three months of employment. With our advice, you will prove your value and be well on your way to getting a raise in three months.

Arrive early, leave late

Sure, this might sound easy and you may think that you already know this stuff, but you should ask yourself if you are willing to do it. Coming in five minutes early and leaving five minutes late won't do you any good. Arrive at least 30 minutes early and leave 30 minutes late every other day. We're not advising you to give up your social life and completely concentrate on your work life, but an extra hour here and there will go a long way. In those early mornings or late evenings at the office, send an e-mail to your boss, as he will see what time the messages were sent and will know you were putting in extra time. Your boss will remember if you are the first at your desk and the last to leave. If you put in a solid effort week after week during your probationary period, you will be noticed. And when your review happens, you will be in a good position to get a raise in three months.

Prove your worth

This seems too obvious to even be mentioned, but if you don’t prove yourself, you’re not going to get a raise in three months. You must exceed your goals to show that your presence adds value to the company. Dictionary.com defines a goal as “the result or achievement toward which effort is directed,” and you don’t want to set too many goals, because your boss will prefer quality to quantity. Once you have achieved your goals, document them so that when review time comes around, you can show your boss exactly what your worth. Some examples of professional achievements include: cost savings, productivity improvement, important projects, and budgets achieved or exceeded.

Volunteer

You might ask yourself why you should volunteer at work when there are so many organizations out there looking for help. The reason is to show that your interest in the company isn’t just from nine to five and when there’s a paycheck involved. We’re not advising you to work for free 10 hours a week, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get involved and go the extra mile. Try taking on different tasks and duties, such as organizing a team lunch at a local restaurant. You can even organize a potluck at work; these are always fun and they create a good bonding experience for your colleagues. In addition to organizing team outings, lots of companies look for volunteers within their ranks to help out with humanitarian efforts from time to time. This could involve planting flowers at a local women’s center or volunteering at a company golf tournament that raises money for cancer. This is a great way to not only give back to the community, but to also show your superiors that you care.

Ask for the raise

As the saying goes “if you ask, you shall receive” -- hopefully. The three-month evaluation is a good time to re-evaluate your salary based on the value you’ve already shown to the company. If your company doesn’t have a three-month review, try setting up a general meeting with your boss; this shows that you are thinking outside the box. Before your meeting/review, have a pay increase goal in mind that merits your efforts and contributions to the company. If you’re not sure how much to ask for, there are resources on the internet, such as Salary.com, has good advice on what salary you should be making and what general pay increases should be.

City Wave's Dream Girl Gallery - Bianca Beauchamp

Bianca Stéphanie Beauchamp was born in Montreal to a French Canadian father and an Italian mother. She was named after Bianca Jagger.
At age 18 she met and began to model for Martin Perreault, a photography student and waiter. While continuing her modelling, she studied French Literature and Teaching at CEGEP. She began a teaching internship at her former high school. One of the teachers discovered her website and she was pressured into closing the site during her internship, but she re-opened it afterwards. The move caused further controversy, but Beauchamp refused to back down and left school in favour of her modelling career.
Beauchamp underwent two breast augmentation surgeries to increase her cup size to a 32DD. She dismisses criticism about the implants, deeming it hypocritical to applaud people for improving their intellects while condemning them for improving their bodies.
Beauchamp has become successful in latex fetish modelling, appearing on the covers of publications. Beauchamp also writes a column for Bizarre magazine and, in January 2007, became the first model to have appeared on its cover for six issues. Her photos have also been in several Playboy Special Editions and on the cover of Book of Lingerie. She has also been on the cover of Playboy's Girls of Canada calendar twice. In partnership with her website and Ritual Entertainment, she portrayed the character Elexis Sinclaire for the video game, SiN Episodes.
In 2006, Beauchamp announced the release of a Bianca Beauchamp - Fetish Sex Symbol which focuses on her modelling career as a latex fetish model.
In 2007, she agreed to team up with Hype Energy to represent the brand on Canadian F1 Grand Prix in Montreal.
In 2007, she released her film Bianca Beauchamp: All Access, a reality-documentary directed and edited by her partner Martin Perreault. The 85 minute film was Premiered at Fantasia Film Festival in July 2007 and issued as a 2-disc Special Edition DVD in September 2007. The film was acquired by distributor HALO 8 Entertainment at the Fantasia Festival and is slated for a wide release in North America on January 29, 2008.

How to Wear a Tuxedo?

If the evening calls for a tuxedo, you don’t have to be just another penguin and you don’t have to be afraid to rent one. Renting a tuxedo allows you the pleasure of not spending hundreds for an outfit you’ll only wear occasionally and you’ll be able to rent the latest style. Renting is easier than you think, but knowing how to wear a tuxedo will single you out as a man who knows how to dress well when the occasion calls for only the best.

Lately, I’ve noticed the garish trend of men opting out of the tuxedo. They either think it’s unnecessary or they don’t want to go to the effort. Unfortunately, they only look foolish.

I recently attended the annual gala opening of the Indianapolis Symphony, which is a formal, black-tie affair with international guests that include ambassadors and philanthropists. On this night, we enjoyed the solo efforts for guest violinist Joshua Bell. Bell grew up near Bloomington, Indiana, where he is now a professor at the Indiana University School of Music when he is not touring the world or scoring films. As a native son, I thought the audience would be especially eager to turn up in tuxedos and evening gowns. Alas, the scourge of fashion -- that casual Friday uniform of golf shirt and khakis -- ruled the night.

Would it have been so hard to find an affordable tuxedo at the last minute? I think not. If the invitation states that black-tie is optional, then, by all means, you had better show up in black-tie. The use of the word “optional” is just a polite way of reminding you what you should wear.

With that it mind, it occurred to me that with today’s relaxed fashion doctrine, many men may not know how to wear a tuxedo. So, I’m taking it upon myself to teach you young men exactly how to wear a tuxedo.

WHEN TO WEAR A TUXEDO

If the invitation to a wedding or the theater tickets say that it’s “optional” to wear a tuxedo, then you don’t have an option -- wear a tux. Then again, even if it doesn’t state the attire, you should go to the extra effort of showing your young lady friend that you’re a man of taste and wear one for that romantic evening at the theater. You really don’t have to have an invitation as an excuse or a reason. Her affection should be enough of an incentive -- it will be worth it.

WAYS TO WEAR A TUXEDO

Tie options: The first thing you’ll encounter when you’re learning how to wear a tuxedo is that you have three tie options to decide upon: The first is the pre-tied bow tie. The second is the actual bow tie, which takes a steady hand and a bit of practice. If you’re in a rush, don’t even think about this one. Third, a black tie adds a modern touch to any tux and is best for an evening with a younger crowd.

Collar styles: The band collar with the two small points facing down is what you usually get from the tux shop. If, however, you have a pinpoint French-cuffed shirt of your own, wear it instead. Why? First, you know it will fit. You’ll also be more comfortable and you won’t have to pay for a lousy shirt rental.

Shoes: I have two words for you: Black leather. Skip the patent-leather shoes that come with the tux at the rental shop and just wear your own black dress shoes, but make sure they are a simple capped toe and polished to a high shine. You’ll be happier during the event and the next day.

Cuff links and shirt studs: If you’re renting, just go with the set that comes with the tux. Otherwise, stay with cuff links in silver or stainless steel that don’t attract too much attention.

WHICH STYLE OF TUXEDO SHOULD YOU WEAR?

The single-breasted jacket is the all purpose and classic style that will fit all body types and sizes.

The double-breasted jacket always looks better on taller men because of its boxy shape and cut. If you are under six-feet tall, stay with a single-breasted jacket.

The shawl-collar jacket is the style that Sean Connery made famous as Bond, but its time has passed. If the salesman tries to talk you into this style, just go somewhere else.

The white dinner jacket is the only thing that will do if you have the luxury of attending a black-tie affair in a tropical climate. Otherwise, you’ll just look foolish, because even though it might be summer and the heat index is off the charts, a white dinner jacket simply looks out of place in a landlocked city.

BENDING THE RULES

Wearing only the jacket is probably the single best way to dress up a pair of jeans. The mere act screams rebel, so if you’re not confident in yourself when the moment arrives to step outside, go back in and try something else.

Wearing the jacket and trousers with a matching black shirt for a modern look is worth trying if you’ll be attending any event other than a wedding. The shirt, however, must be exceptionally well-made and look as good on its own as it does under the jacket.

THE DO's DONT's OF THE TUXEDO

The biggest mistake men make when wearing a tuxedo is placing the cummerbund around their waist with the pleats facing down. Over a hundred years ago, the pleats were designed to face up and were used to hold theater tickets. This was at a time when trousers did not have pockets and all men carried their money in their jackets. So, pay homage to your ancestors and wear the pleats up. You can still hold your ticket stubs in the pleats.

What Women Love And Hate About Anal

Anal sex is just one of those things: she either loves it, or she hates it. There is very little in between. Most women have tried it at some point, and a fair few of them will never dare again despite their hankering to be one of the "lucky ones" who love anal sex. The reason for this avoidance is clear: pain. If there was no pain, there was probably pleasure. Hence, love or hate.
It is true, however, that while you're trying to "get it right" there are likely to be some painful moments, practice makes perfect and it’s the ability to maneuver oneself and try different styles that allows anal sex to be pleasurable.
We've decided to let you in on what women love and hate about anal sex so you can enter the situation sufficiently informed and ready to rock her world.

The Allure of Anal Sex
For men and women, anal sex is a different, tighter sensation, it’s a little bit naughty and it provides some variety to normal sex. Anal sex has a tang of taboo attached to it, though this is falling away: The taboo status of anal sex gives it better credence among the adventuresome and timid alike, and this adds to its attraction. Once tried, however, anal sex can quickly lose its appeal for women (and some men). Here we will discuss some of the reasons why women love and hate anal sex.

Why Does She Love Anal Sex?
Let’s start with the positives:
Because anal sex feels good
Women love anal sex because it can feel absolutely incredible. It's different in sensation and it doesn’t feel like anything else she may have felt before -- it's deep inside, it's not her clitoris and is not in her vagina, but feels strangely like both in a sort of mixed-up combination in another part of her body. The rectum, once it’s ready, literally swallows the penis up and can’t get enough. The back passage transforms itself into a sexual playground. If the clitoris and/or vagina are stimulated while you are inside of her, it can take her to another sexual realm. Anal orgasms are possible.
Because anal sex is naughty
People love to be a little bit naughty sometimes, and anal sex is one of those things you can do completely privately, and nobody will ever know you were naughty except you and your partner -- which is part of the fun. It is also often a "first time for everything" type of activity which can also be nice -- doing something you've never done before, ever.

Why Does She Hate Anal Sex?
Now for what goes wrong:
Because anal sex hurts
Anal sex is not easy to master when you haven’t done it before. For a man it may seem straight forward -- in, out -- but it isn’t this simple. Women hate anal sex primarily because it hurts. It can cause cold sweats, shivers, extreme agony, and a massive chemical release into the blood stream that causes pain. This is highly unpleasant, but may be endured because
A) She wants to like it; and
B) She wants you to like it.
If you're not very careful, if you don’t warm her up properly, if you don’t go slowly enough, you will probably hurt her. This really minimizes your chances for trying anal sex again. Do your best every time and you have at least a fighting chance at having another go.
Because she's worried about a mess.
Anal sex is obviously a hot spot for mess. The idea that you could penetrate her butt and come out in a sticky situation is hugely embarrassing for her before it’s even happened, and for this reason she may avoid anal sex altogether. Women spend so much time making themselves look and smell beautiful that to have something ruin her hard work can be mildly devastating. Worrying about mess can be alleviated by using an anal douche before engaging in any anal play. Try taking a shower together too, and make sure her bowels are emptied at least an hour before starting.

Important Facts About Anal Sex
Lubricant is essential The anal canal does not produce its own lubricant, so it is imperative that you use a good quality lubricant in all your anal adventures. It is advisable to use a silicon-based lubricant because they tend to last longer and don’t dry up very quickly like some water-based lubricants do. Don’t use sticky petroleum-based products like Vaseline, as they clog up the walls of the rectum and are much too sticky.
Tease her It is very important that she is very turned on before you even go near her butt. When she's turned on, her body is much more open to you than if you she is only mildly turned on. She needs to be aching for you to touch her there. Then, when you start to touch her closer to her anus, she will respond with moans and groans instead of a tense grimace. Rub her body all over with oils, relax her, love her, adore her, and caress her. Get her to the point where she is begging you for it, and do this without putting a single thing in her -- tease, tease, tease. Anticipation is one of the greatest sexual tools we have -- use it to your advantage.
Condoms and hygiene Disease can be passed through unprotected sex -- this includes anal sex. The wall of the rectum is very thin and permeable. However, using condoms can be better for both partners, for other reasons. Women may not like to have a bottom full of semen, which quite frankly is a fair call. After the disruptions of anal sex, the semen mixes with the contents of the rectum and it can get a little "upset" in there. Using a condom avoids this trouble. Condoms may also protect the penis from any stray fecal matter, though this is generally not a problem, and if it does occur can be washed off easily with no harm done. Men may like to wear a condom so they last a bit longer -- the condom desensitizes the penis somewhat, and allows for longer lovemaking.

What Not To Do

Do not ever put your penis into a woman’s body without her express permission. Do not treat her body like a scoring device. She is not an object for you to ejaculate in or on, and if she is kind enough to share her beautiful butt with you, treat it with respect and be happy you were allowed close enough to breathe her in at all. Don’t ejaculate inside of her if requested not to. Don’t slam, jackhammer or be forceful either.

What To Always Do

Always use lube. Always wear a condom if requested to without acting like a baby. Do as you are asked at all times -- anal sex is a delicate situation and she needs to be able to trust you.
Gender presumptions and anal sex When a heterosexual couple thinks of anal sex, it is generally man-in-woman anal sex. To get a good understanding of what it's like -- and how to improve your performance -- it is necessary and helpful for you to open your mind to the possibility that anal sex is not something that only you do to your female lover, but something that you could do to each other. Scared yet? Don’t be. If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander. Anal sex takes a lot of practice to perfect, and experimenting with one another is a fantastic way to deepen your connection and enhance your sex life and relationship. It does not have to involve sex toys. You can use fingers, tongues, oils, lubes, and any number of other things. Experiment, and let your own body be loved. It will pay off.

Backdoor Shenanigans

Anal sex is many things to many people. Do it right, and you’ll get to do it again. Do it wrong, and you may be doomed forever. Well, probably not forever but until she forgets how bad it was the first time around.

There are hundreds of anal sex guides online -- explicit instructions on how to do it right. If you read at least a dozen of them, you’ll probably have a good idea about how to start off. The best piece of advice we can give you is to make sure she is hot for it before you start. Then you really can’t lose.

City Wave's Dream Girl Gallery - Keeley Hazell

Hazell was born in Lewisham, London, England, grew up in Grove Park, and attended the Ravensbourne School in Bromley. Her mother, Amber, is a dinner lady and her father, Roy, is a window fitter; they separated when she was thirteen. She has an older sister, Roxanne, and a younger sister, Georgia.
As a teenager, Hazell was a frequent truant and stayed out late on school nights drinking. She confesses to having only taken five GCSE examinations due to being ejected from several of them; however, she did very well in mathematics and English.

Hazell currently lives in an apartment in the London Docklands. In January 2006, Hazell made headlines when Chelsea F.C. football player Joe Cole was beaten up at a party held at her Grove Park house. She spoke to The Sun in March, denying rumours surrounding the incident.

In early January 2007, a sex tape of Hazell and ex-boyfriend Lloyd Miller was released on the internet. The video was shot whilst the couple were on holiday in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain during the previous year, on or about 30 May 2006.
Following the tape's leak, Hazell was reported to have been very upset, and she called the police in an attempt to find out who leaked the tape. She also "obtained an injunction on grounds of privacy preventing any further publication or promotion of the video" though the video is still widely available on the Internet.

5 Tips to Keep Your Memory Sharp

Do you ever forget the name of someone you've just met? Where you put those keys? Whether you locked the door on your way out? Your girlfriend's birthday? Sure you do -- we all do, occasionally. But what if your memory loss and inability to focus progress and become more and more frequent?

Unfortunately, memory loss and aging go hand in hand. As of one's early 20s, the brain begins losing neurons, and the body starts to make less of the chemicals that the brain requires to work properly.

Fortunately, there's a lot that you can do to slow down this process. Below are some tips to keep your memory sharp.

1. Eat healthy meals

Maintaining a well-balanced diet is not only important for your body, it's also essential for your brain and memory. According to the American Academy of Neurology, eating fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants -- such as berries, oranges, spinach, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes -- can reduce the risk of stroke by 11%.

Another study has shown that antioxidants and polyphenols in blueberries, cranberries and grapes can help improve the ability of brain cells to communicate with each other, and lessen the brain's susceptibility to injury.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, elements such as curcumin and B vitamins such as niacin and folic acid may also help prevent memory loss, and may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

2. Lay off the booze

Some people don't remember anything about the previous night's party after binge drinking. Luckily for them, in most cases, this alcohol "blackout" or memory loss is temporary.

Scientists used to think that blackouts affected only hardcore alcoholics. Studies, however, have shown that this is also a common phenomenon in social drinkers. In a study of about 2,000 male social drinkers, researchers found that 35% of them had experienced at least one blackout in the year before the survey.

Alcohol can interfere with the ability to form new long-term memories, even after just one or two drinks. Some studies have suggested that there is a relationship between the severity of the memory impairment and the amount of alcohol consumed; the more you drink, the worse your memory loss is.

3. Exercise your body

We all know that we need to exercise to keep our muscles in shape. But did you know that working out can also help your mind?

Cardiovascular exercise can help prevent memory loss. Doctors think that this is because exercise can improve blood circulation to the brain and reduce aging-related loss of brain tissue. Brain scan studies have demonstrated that the gray matter of older men who are physically fit is in better shape than those who didn't exercise.

You don't have to run a marathon to keep your mind sharp -- mind-body exercises can also help you in the battle against memory loss. Another study showed that aging men who regularly perform Chinese exercises, such as tai chi and qi qong, have much better learning and memory capabilities compared to those who do not.

Note, however, that it's important to not overdo that aerobic routine. Exercising to the point of dehydration can actually harm memory functions.

4. Exercise your brain

Giving your mind a workout can literally help your brain grow. By keeping your brain active, you are encouraging neuronal brain cells to make new connections, which allow the cells to communicate with one another. This can help memory storage and prevent memory loss.

There are many things you can do to exercise your mind; some of them are activities as simple as doing a crossword puzzle, playing chess, reading, and staying active. There are also benefits to learning to do new things, such as playing a musical instrument, learning a foreign language or starting a hobby. The key is doing so regularly. When it comes to matters of mind and memory, it's use it or lose it!

5. Take memory-boosting supplements

Science has long acknowledged the benefits of some nutritional supplements such as zinc and folic acid, in brain development. Cutting-edge research has identified other nutrients that may help boost brain functions and prevent premature memory loss in men. These nutrients are found in Anchor Health's BrainFlex, a natural supplement for boosting memory and concentration.Its ingredients include:

• Antioxidants that help eliminate harmful free radicals and herbs that help protect the nerve cells from damage.


• Nutrients that feed the brain by increasing oxygen and glucose supply.


• Herbs that aid the production of neurotransmitters, a compound used to transmit nerve signals in the brainSupplements that can help boost your memory include:

Ginkgo biloba

A popular herb, ginkgo biloba has long been used in traditional medicine to boost memory. It has a powerful antioxidant property, and can help prevent damage to blood vessels in the brain. It can also help improve blood flow to your noggin and ensure optimal delivery of oxygen and nutrients to nerve cells by maintaining the tone and elasticity of blood vessels.

B vitamins

B vitamins are involved in many metabolic processes in the body and are important for overall health. In regard to the brain specifically, two members of this vitamin family stand out: vitamin

B12 and folic acid. Vitamin B12 is involved in the maintenance of the myelin sheath, a protective cover of nerve cells that allows them to function properly.In addition to helping prevent birth defects, folic acid is also an essential ingredient for the brain's neurotransmitters. Low levels of folic acid have been linked with memory loss, whereas people with sharp memory functions have been found to have high levels of this nutrient.

Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine

These two nutrients are phospholipids or fatty acids, found in the membrane of all cells. They play an important role in the composition of cellular membrane by keeping it fluid and flexible, and they also serve as precursors of the brain's neurotransmitters. Phosphatidylserine levels decline with age, and research has shown that phosphatidylserine supplements can reverse the decline in memory and concentration.

Amino acids

The primary function of amino acids is to act as the building blocks of proteins. Certain types, however, also function in brain development and regeneration. For example, L-taurine is a potent neuroprotector, guarding the nerve cells against stress and toxins. L-pyroglutamine is essential for the metabolism of neurons, and DMAE, a precursor to neurotransmitters, has been shown to improve short-term memory.

An easy way to get these herbs and nutrients is from Anchor Health's BrainFlex, which contains 21 herbs, vitamins and nutrients clinically proven to improve brain functions and memory.

All's not glitter and gold at the Paris Motor Show

Auto executives agree: their industry is headed into a giant storm.
The clouds of global economic turmoil cast a pall over the opening of the Paris Motor Show yesterday - although a staged display of thunder and blue lightning bolts provided a dramatic backdrop for the introduction of BMW AG's new 7 series.
General Motors Corp chief operating officer Fritz Henderson said the US hasn't seen such a slump in auto sales in two decades and predicted "chaos" if US lawmakers don't approve a US$700 billion financial bailout plan.

Ford Motor Co's CEO for Europe, John Fleming, said he is bracing for a difficult end to 2008 as declining housing markets and tightening credit take their toll.
And Carlos Ghosn, CEO of French carmaker Renault SA, said the global auto industry could remain in a funk for two years.
"We don't know if we are at the start of the end or the end of the start," he told reporters.
With rock music and clouds of dry ice, automakers unveiled smaller and more fuel-efficient cars to cater to consumers both cash-strapped and environmentally conscious. The new models are testimony that the industry is working to adapt to an era of expensive gas and mounting concerns about global warming.
Honda Motor Co unveiled a new five-door gasoline-electric hatchback to challenge rival Toyota Motor Corp's success with the hybrid Prius. Honda said its Insight would be cheaper than any other hybrid car on the market, to make the low-emission technology affordable for more consumers. The Japanese automaker aims to sell 200,000 of the cars each year, launching next spring in Japan, Europe and North America.
Renault showed off a revamped Megane compact hatchback. France's second-largest automaker, which is cutting 6,000 jobs to maintain profitability, hopes the car will make up for poor sales of the low-cost Laguna car.

And luxury car makers like Ferrari added their very own touch of glamour. The Italian automaker introduced its new California - a coupe-cabriolet with a retractable hard top - claiming that customers at the very top end of the market are immune for the moment.
"What is affecting Ferrari customers is not the financial times," CEO Amedeo Felisa said in an interview with The Associated Press.
The displays covered the entire range: fast to slow, luxury to economy. Renault displayed a Formula One racer. Peugeot showed a speedster for the Le Mans Series. Mercedes unveiled its latest armored limousine for VIPs, described as "luxuriously spacious and superbly comfortable."
Underscoring the need for green, some models had the amount of carbon dioxide they emit pasted in large numbers down their sides.
The two-week show opens to the public this Sat after two press days.
Citigroup expects 2008 to be the first year of volume declines since 2001 for the global car industry, and last month it lowered its outlook for this year and next after double-digit declines in new car registrations in western Europe, the US, and Japan.
Overall US auto sales plunged last month, dropping below one million for the first time in more than 15 years as some consumers struggled to get car loans and others stayed away from showrooms amid bank failures and Wall Street turmoil.

Sales at every major US and foreign brand fell at least 24%from the previous year, with the exception of GM, which said it sold 16% fewer vehicles, helped by its month-long offer of employee pricing for all buyers.
GM's Henderson said the company can't rule out the need for more restructuring if the economic crisis worsens and said it was "extraordinarily important" that US lawmakers pass a financial bailout to shore up confidence.
France's car market has held up, thanks to government incentives to buyers of green vehicles. The French car manufacturer's association said on Wed that new car registrations rose 8.4% in Sept from a year earlier.
Last year, France introduced rebates and surcharges to encourage sales of more environmentally friendly vehicles. Under the system, dubbed "bonus-malus," car buyers can take money off the purchase price depending on how much CO2 the vehicle emits.
Larger rebates are awarded for cars meeting stricter emissions criteria, from 200 euros (US$287) all the way up to 5,000 euros (US$7,175) for electric vehicles putting out less than 60 grams of CO2 per km.
"The French market is resisting well for the moment. I hope it will continue," Renault's Ghosn said.

Staying the distance in The Amazing Race Asia 3

I am really surprised at how “the heiress” and “the actress” are running The Amazing Race Asia 3 (TARA 3). These two - Tania Khan and Ida Nerina - are true blue city girls who lead pretty “comfortable” lives in Kuala Lumpur. They admittedly have never backpacked before, they usually travel in planes (as opposed to the 25-hour bus ride they took in Vietnam) and with suitcases (and porters) in tow.

On the race however, the two have emerged as one of the most able and least fussy teams. Yeah, there has been the occasional whine and the periodic wail but I think we all agree that eating a big bowl of “stinky tofu” in Taiwan earned actress Ida Nerina some right to wail (and weep). Generally though, these two have been pretty enthusiastic about taking on the various challenges that make up the Amazing Race and they were first at the pit stop last week. Catch­ing live chickens and shoving them into baskets? Yeah, bring it on. Chan­ging a tyre? Sure, why not. Hats off, city girls.
TARA 3 seems to be living up to its premise of being “the toughest race ever”. From the first episode where the teams had to eat a bowl of fried insects, bugs and frogs and then rush to a Caltex station to wash a filthy express bus armed with just a pail, a mop and some towels, to the back-breaking, tear-inducing extended race in Episode Two where teams raced almost non-stop for more than 30-hours (according to Tish and Geoff from the Philippines), TARA 3 has not been a disappointment to fans of the reality series. And while the race has been physically punishing, it has also been full of drama. Kudos to the pro­duction team for a good job with the editing once again.
The race started with 10 teams: Malaysians Tania and Ida as well as Bernie and Henry Chan; Natalie Glebova and Pailin Rungratana­sun­thorn from Thailand; Sam Wu and Vince Chung from Hong Kong; Oliver Faivre and Visa Sarasas (better known as Mai) also from Thai­land; A.D. Chan and Fuzzie Sirajudin from Singapore; Tisha Silang and Geoff Rodriguez from the Philip­pi­nes; Niroo and Kapil Asrani from India; William and Isaac Hong from South Korea; and Neena and Amit Rai from India.
After four episodes, we now have only six teams left in the race. First to be eliminated were the cousins from India, Neena and Amit. Next to go were the soft-spoken Koreans, Isaac and William; the beauty queens from Thailand, Natalie and Pailin; and the father and son from India, Niroo and Kapil.
While some of my male friends were really sad to see Natalie and Pailin leave the race, I was quite happy because I kind of like Pailin and did not think she needed to endure the insufferable Natalie (Miss Universe 2005 who turned out to be Miss-Biggest-Pain-in-the-Universe) any longer than she already had. I mean, you wonder why Natalie agreed to join the race if she felt that sleeping in an airport overnight was akin to being tortured? Did she not watch past Amazing Race episodes?
It was a tad sad seeing Niroo and Kapil leave last week, though. I don’t understand why they got so frustra­ted and wanted to quit just because they could not figure out how to remove the car key from the ignition. Dudes, ask someone for help already.
So who do we have left to cheer for and who do we have to jeer?
In whatever nationalistic spirit I have left, let me start with my fellow Malaysians, Bernie and Henry. They seem pretty strong and are really focused on winning. Especially Bernie ... heck, she is scary isn’t she? The siblings have been first to reach the pit stop twice so far and unless they run into some really bad luck, I see them in the final three.
Next, we have the team I really hate. Or at least the person I hate the most: Geoff of the Philippine team. I mean, what is his problem, apart from being unjustifiably arrogant and unpleasant? He is rude, sneaky, snaky and pathetically abusive, especially to his girlfriend. The dude is a loser and if he stays in the race, I hope he is put to the test every leg.
Then there is the princess and her porter from Thailand: Mai and Oliver. They don’t seem to be fighting as much as the race goes on but that’s probably because they are putting all their energy into being sneaky €” like how they found the clue last week but pretended like they did not. Hmm, perhaps they are the dark horses in the competition, eh? After all, Mai seems to be carrying her own backpack a little more.
Now, I know that as Malay­sians, we have this unwritten code where we automatically diss Singapo­reans, but I like the two girls from Singapore. Fuzzie and A.D. as probably one of the few “real” people on the race. They are not paticularly kiasu and not too bothered about getting the better of the other teams. Their strategy is simply to not come in last.
The Hong Kong boys, Sam and Vince, are perhaps the least controversial team on the Race. They don’t seem to have a winning strategy in place but somehow, they make it through each week without that much of a struggle. Will luck see them through to the end?
So far, the pace of the race has been relentless, with an elimination every week. Do the teams get a reprieve tomorrow or will another team be on the chopping block?
Elimination or not, it will most likely be yet another exciting episode with plenty to laugh about and even more to scream at. And, if you can still muster some nationalistic spirit, let’s cheer for the two Malaysian teams that seem to be leading the pack this far.
The Amazing Race Asia airs on AXN (Astro channel 701) every Thursday at 9pm.

New Bond Girl Proud Of Her "Little Oddity"

Bond girls have long been exceptional women. From Ursula Andress to Halle Berry, they have each embodied the feminine ideal of their particular time. Gemma Arterton, the statuesque stunner who plays Agent Fields in next month's Quantum of Solace, has proven herself to be exceptional not only for her English Rose beauty, but also because she was born with six fingers on each hand.
"It's my little oddity that I'm really proud of," she said to Esquire magazine. "It makes me different." Different indeed. The condition, called Polydactyly, occurs in 1 of every 500 births.
Don't bother looking for additional digits in the film, though. As a child, the surplus digits were "tied," which causes the boneless protrusions to fall off with time. She still bares bumpy scars where her extra appendages once were.
Earlier this year, she revealed that she was also born with a crumpled ear, which was surgically corrected in childhood. "I was born with lots of deformities," the 22-year-old actress told the British press.
Arterton, a graduate of London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art who was best known for a BBC adaptation of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," beat out 1,500 contenders to become the latest Bond girl. She admitted to InStyle magazine that having to kiss Daniel Craig on her first day working on the film had her "giggling left, right, and center and being really immature."
Next up for Arterton is the movie adaptation of the videogame Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, coming the summer of 2010. To see more of the genetically unusual but undeniably extraordinary future star, watch the behind-the-scenes video from "Quantum of Solace" below.

Will Iceland The First Hit From Global Financial Meltdown?

This volcanic island near the Arctic Circle is on the brink of becoming the first "national bankruptcy" of the global financial meltdown.
Home to just 320,000 people on a territory the size of Kentucky, Iceland has formidable international reach because of an outsized banking sector that set out with Viking confidence to conquer swaths of the British economy — from fashion retailers to top soccer teams.
The strategy gave Icelanders one of the world's highest per capita incomes. But now they are watching helplessly as their economy implodes — their currency losing almost half its value, and their heavily exposed banks collapsing under the weight of debts incurred by lending in the boom times.
"Everything is closed. We couldn't sell our stock or take money from the bank," said Johann Sigurdsson as he left a branch of Landsbanki in downtown Reykjavik.
The government had earlier announced it had nationalized the bank under emergency laws enacted to deal with the crisis.
"We have been forced to take decisive action to save the country," Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde said of those sweeping new powers that allow the government to take over companies, limit the authority of boards, and call shareholder meetings.
A full-blown collapse of Iceland's financial system would send shock waves across Europe, given the heavy investment by Icelandic banks and companies across the continent.
One of Iceland's biggest companies, retailing investment group Baugur, owns or has stakes in dozens of major European retailers — including enough to make it the largest private company in Britain, where it owns a handful of stores such as the famous toy store Hamley's.
Kaupthing, Iceland's largest bank and one of those whose share trading was suspended last week to stop a huge sell-off, has also invested in European retail groups.
Thousands of Britons have accounts with Icesave, the online arm of Landsbanki that regulators said was likely to file for bankruptcy after it stopped permitting customers to withdraw money from their accounts Tuesday.
To try to wrest control of the spiraling situation, the government also loaned $680 million to Kaupthing to tide it over and said it was negotiating a $5.4 billion loan from Russia to shore up the nation's finances.
The speed of Iceland's downfall in the week since it announced it was nationalizing Glitnir bank, the country's third largest, caught many by surprise despite warnings that it was the "canary in the coal mine" of the global credit squeeze.
Famous for its cod fishing industry, geysers, moonscape and the Blue Lagoon, Iceland was the site of the Cold War showdown in which Bobby Fischer of the United States defeated Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union in 1972 for the world chess championship. Last year, Iceland won the U.N.'s "best country to live in" poll, with its residents deemed the most contented in the world.

JOGOYA Flagship Kuala Lumpur

上閤屋 JOGOYA flagship Kuala Lumpur formally opens at Relish Floor of Starhill in January 2006. The restaurant has the space of 30,000 square feet with seating for 580 guests. The interior part was designed of a “flowing” concept, with that constructed the whole environment. Their chefs group develop more than 200 kinds of cuisine of Japanese, Chinese, and Western style, all the cuisine is no limited. Furthermore, the dainty china-ware is from the famous Jing Teh Town.

On 30th.Sep, we went there at 4:50pm. According to the receptionist, the section would be opened from 5:00pm till 9:30pm (There's limitation for weekend section, only 2 hours is applicabled for each seat during the schedule. Thus, if you plan to have full 4.5 hours dinning, I would suggest you go by weekday). For my daughter who is below 80 cm height, is free of charge. But, they will charge RM10 on those kids are between 80 cm to 100 cm height.

We were waiting outsite the restaurant until 5:00pm sharp, until the receptionist leaded us to a table for three ( I came along with my wife and daughter). Before taking any food, it's advisable to go have a walk on each outlets. Then you will find various type of cuisines, and not fulling your stomach with few choices, else you will regret. In fact, I don't think your stomach is capable to try all types of cuisine. There are just too many. So, choose your really desire.

We started with Japanese sushi, salmon sashimi, scallop, oyster, baby lobster, tepanyaki beef and tempura prown, and beverage with red wine and coconuts. Then, we continued with chinese cuisine on eel, crab, BBQ prown, western cuisine on cheese baked escargots, mussels, grilled eel, baby lobster, beef. Finally with a paper steamboat, some cheese cake, chooclate balls, tiramisu, fruits and Haagen Daze ice-cream. For beverage, besides red wine and coconuts, we had also tried the white wine, others cocktails ( can't remember each name. Mostly we just tried with few sips), chinese tea and coffee. (You can imagine how full were our stomach.)

We left the restaurant about 9:00pm, where we were really can't take anymore food. Then, we proceed with a light Bintang Walks, before taking back our car in Pavillion's car-park.

Drawing Arts on The Wall

It took four hours of intense concentration and hard work, but a once nondescript wall near the Pasar Seni LRT station in Kuala Lumpur is now emblazoned with Hari Raya Aidilfitri greetings.
True, there was no official permission granted for the wall to be painted, and neither was there any approval for the final artwork.
But the messages on the wall are not mere scribblings sprayed carelessly by vandals.
Some people may still be blinded by their bias towards graffiti’s negative reputation, but those less prejudiced would notice that the artwork are meticulously done, with attention to detail and technique. This is, after all, a showcase of the talent of some of the best graffiti artists in town.

Graffiti dates back to ancient times when history of civilisations are recorded on walls.
In modern times, graffiti has taken on subversive overtones, most notably to express anti establishment sentiments on public spaces.
In the United States, graffiti has been used by gangs to mark their territories, while political activists use it to forward their causes.
However, in recent years, people have begun viewing this urban art form in a different light, with growing appreciation for its power of expression, accessibility to the public and aesthetic value.
When hip-hop culture arrived in Malaysia, it brought along with it elements like breakdancing, rapping, DJ-ing and graffiti art.
Members of the local graffiti groups The Super Sunday and Poison Pills worked on the Hari Raya wall. The Super Sunday and Phobia are among the more active graffiti groups in Kuala Lumpur. They are not widely known outside their circles, but they are at the forefront of a growing graffiti art movement in the capital city.
Graffiti artists are also referred to as graffiti writers since the art often involves a lot of word styling. Each writer has a pen name, called “tag”, that he sprays on walls as his signature.
Graffiti artists usually prefer to work in groups because it is more fun and they can get more work done.
“I used to do solo as well but it’s boring to go bombing (graffiti spraying) alone and you run out of ideas after a while. With a group, you can meet writers from other groups when collaborating, you can do nice productions (bigger graffiti work involving several writers) and let more people know about your work,” says Qhaidar Nazaleen Qamaruddin Khidhir, 18.
She is one of the rare female graffiti artist around, but it has not deterred her from pursuing her passion for the art.

“When I first started doing graffiti outdoors, my parents didn’t like it. They said it is for boys and I will be mixing with a lot of guys out there.
“But I explained that I want to develop my art. Although I started learning art on paper, I don’t have to stick to paint brush forever, right?” she says.
Qhaidar adds: “The wall (at the Pasar Seni LRT station) was dirty and had inappropriate words on it. We discussed how we could clean it up and beautify it so that when people walk pass, they will appreciate it.” The petite girl was not at all bothered that her hands were speckled with green paint while working on the wall.
A beginner in graffiti usually starts with sketching his tag name, then “tagging” his name on the wall and eventually progressing to creating other images. For the untrained eye, it is easy to pass a tag name as an oddshaped block but for the writer, it is his identity and creativity displayed on a wall.
Only time will tell if the public will appreciate graffiti work.
That’s another thing about graffiti – the message gets out to the public faster than exhibiting a work in the gallery and the feedback is almost instantanous.
However, spray painting during the daylight is a challenge, says Qhaidar, who goes by the tag name Barbie.
“Most of the time we don’t have permission to paint graffiti. We curi-curi buat (do it secretly) but we make sure we do it neatly,” she says. She was nervous when she went for her first graffiti outing. Her father met The Kioue, a graffiti writer from The Super Sunday, and after learning about what they do, he agreed to let Qhaidar go along.
Since then, she has begun to pursue the art seriously, painting graffiti in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Negri Sembilan and even teaching at a graffiti workshop under the Rakan Muda programme. Qhaidar now has her own graffiti group called Poison Pills, with two other male writers Nas-el and Phaez.

Tis the season: Qhaidar Nazaleen aka Barbie and Mohd Nasir aka Nas-el are part of a group of artists responsible for the ‘Selamat Hari Raya’ graffiti mural at a wall near an LRT station in Kuala Lumpur.
