In fact, nearly 90 percent of men in a national Men, Love & Sex survey say there’s at least one body part they’d like to change (42 percent saying they want a new gut). While men don’t necessarily want women to lie if they’re out of shape, it never hurts to notice he’s looking good — or at least trying to look better. “Impressive.” Guys love feats. They love accomplishments. They love being acknowledged for their strength, power, and, simply, their masculinity. So a well-timed observation like this one — whether it comes after he carries a TV to the family room or figures out a way to fix the pipes without having to call the plumber — feeds into his need to feel like the family protector.

The hotel, which opened in Berlin in May, offers guests a choice of rooms in the style of the old eastern bloc. The “Stasi Suite” is more expensive than the budget “Pioneer Camp”. The hotel is a former East German Plattenbauwohnung - the kind of mass-produced concrete apartment building that came to symbolise life in the communist bloc. In the reception four clocks are another throwback to the “socialist” camp, showing the time in Moscow, Berlin, Havana and Beijing.

They have crash tests form 97 to now, and you can see what how your car actually hold up in a crash… Full Story and video Courtesy - Consumerreports.org Our bodies are quick to warn us if something is wrong - two top doctors share their head-to-toe guide to warning signs.
Our body is constantly talking to us - yet many of us ignore its messages and suffer unnecessary illness as a result. Small symptoms like bloodshot eyes, dry skin, thinning hair or even weak, brittle nails can be early warnings that our system is under stress or we’re experiencing a deficiency that could eventually damage our general health and wellbeing. Dr Wendy Denning and nutritionist Vicki Edgson, authors of The Diet Doctors Inside And Out, both believe that learning to read the body’s signs paves the way not just to better health but to a better life. “In general, people are ignoring the early warning signs that their body sends out often because they don’t understand what they mean,” Denning says. “Basically our body sends out subtle early signs when things are not quite right. If nothing is done these increase to stronger signals and if you neglect those you may be hit by a big warning such as a major symptom or illness that literally cannot be ignored.” Heeding those minor symptoms, making simple lifestyle changes or seeking medical advice early could mean avoiding more serious health troubles such as thyroid or even heart problems, she adds. “Many minor problems can be cleared up in a couple of months by making even small improvements in diet, drinking more water or finding ways to ease stress.

But when does a childhood jibe cross the line from being just that to an underlying and potentially damaging belief? Prejudice is top of the agenda right now because of the huge row that flared up over Big Brother contestant Emily’s use of a racist term.

For mothers who simply aren’t going fast enough when carting around their pint-sized overlords, a German company offers the Mama Board. Apparently, it latches to the rear axle of any stroller, after which it’s nothing but fast-flying fun after a grocery run or a trip to the park. A short WMV clip on www.mamaboard.de details the assembly and shows footage of mothers rolling around. We have to ask: Are these things sidewalk-legal? Or will mothers have to hit the streets and keep up with car traffic? The site doesn’t mention any kind of failsafe if the board detaches from the stroller, although the mom in the photo doesn’t seem too worried. That kid, on the other hand, doesn’t seem so sure. All of you must be acquainted with at least one woman who is a guy magnet. She’s the one who always seems to have a boyfriend (or two) and usually attracts the most interest when your group of female friends is out together. OK, she’s attractive and fun, but the same can be said about all of you. So, what does she have that the rest of you don’t? Hint: Think effective body language, positive nonverbal and verbal communication, healthy self-esteem, and an ability and willingness to assertively use these to make the right connection. Secrets of the successful dater As a dating coach who has worked with many clients of both sexes, I have been on the front lines with singles seeking many different kinds of dating experiences. I have encountered bad boys, nice guys, strong women, shy women, the marriage-minded, the commitment-phobes, those who have little or no dating experience, and those with active and satisfying dating histories. What I have learned is that ultimate success comes to those who are honest and open about what they are looking for, who are willing to take initiative, and who actively participate in the “chase.” That’s right, ladies — this means you, too.
