For more and better sex therefore, one can practice Vajikaran therapy (virlification) - that part of Ayurveda which enhances male fertility and potency. However, any misuse of the same may open up a deluge of emotional and psychological complications. Use of similar medication (aphrodisiac supplements) instantly induces sexual pleasure and excitement, increases sexual stamina and promotes fertile
I was doing my Tuesday Granny's run (8 kilometers to a Granny's and a cup of coffee) when I spotted a fellow runner in the distance. He was skipping along, going sideways, straight ahead and even backwards. Then he started swinging his arms around in circles looking very much like a human windmill. As I watched him, a though ran through my head. I managed to catch it just before it ran around the
Big B and SRK are all set to play cameos in Vivek Sharma’s Kal Kisne Dekha. The two biggest actors in Bollywood acted in Yash Chopra film ‘Mohabatein’ and Karan Johar’s ‘Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham’.Kal Kisne Dekha stars two newcomers, the lead actors being Jacky (son of producer Vashu Bhagnani) and Vaishali Desai (grand daughter of Manmohan Desai). The film has 15 stars pla
I stress eat. Anyone else in this awful little boat with me? You know, the one that throws you around in the raging sea of your hunger until you give in, jump into the water and eat yourself into a food coma? Yeah, that's the one I'm in too. And it ain't no pleasure cruise, let me tell you.Life has been a little stressful lately. I guess "little" is an understatement. Between waiting for my house
I haven’t been blogging quite as regularly as I would like - I’ve been pretty busy with other projects and unfortunately my personal blog is not top priority.
My lack of blogging go me thinking as to why I decided to start blogging (a mere 6 months ago) in the first place. I don’t blog to [...]
OK, I'm a person who makes a bit of pocket money from writing a blog. I'm doing OK too, I now own 15 pockets.But as someone who makes a little bit of wedge from blogging it's always good to see a new middleman come on the scene.So the iHype.com Launch is very exciting.Without the middlemen the whole industry wouldn't happen. As a blogger I don't have time to find the companies who would be willi
My tonsils are showing me no love. They have gotten so big that I fear they might pop out of my ears. I have been taking antibiotics for the past 3 days and things seem to be getting really ugly. My coughing has calmed down, but my fever and tonsils are such an annoyance that my voice sounds like a monster's. I also feel like my ears are a lava-like. Maybe I'm just in hell, already. :-)
But you

As you become deaf, you become isolated in a world of silence where you are ignored by the hearing majority and unable to communicate with them. Without alternative life skills including lip-reading, you eventually withdraw from society. A thirty week lip-reading course in Essex now costs £186. This has caused most courses to close, remaining [...]
Voila! Here is what I did while we drove around Florida back in March. Both of those front panels represent the time spent on the roads between Miami, Orlando, Titusville and Ft.

This is the most I haven't written in my life. Ever. I know that's a clunky way of putting it.I'm still in distraction mode. I accidentally looked at the sonogram photo yesterday. It had fallen out of the folder, behind something. I was in no way prepared to see her. Her sweet little jaw, her little body all curled up. It burns less now to think about her. It still hurts seriously, but it's not to

The scientific method is a brilliant way to observe and theorize knowledge. It has existed for a very long time, but it has been discussed this week how that method can be hijacked to be used as something it was not originally intended. There are important considerations to point out relating to the scope of the scientific methods capabilities...

This first essay in a five-part series, The Problem of Growth, looks at hierarchal human systems and explains why their structures fundamentally demand continuous growth. The second installment will investigate what causes and sustains hierarchy. The third, fourth, and fifth installments will formulate an alternative to hierarchy that addresses its cause, not merely its symptoms, along with proposals to apply this alternative at both the personal and societal levels. Why must hierarchy continually grow and intensify? Within the context of hierarchy in human civilization, there seem to be three separate categories of forces that force growth. I will address them in the order (roughly) that they arose in the development of human civilization: Human Psychology Drives Growth Huma
How long would you say it takes to complete a goal? Depending on what the goal is right? Well, that’s partly true. Completing a goal has less to do with the goal itself and more to do with how we approach that goal. Take for example:Losing weight (which is perhaps everyone’s goal) and keeping the weight off [...]
By ALEXANDRA MARSHALL Published: December 3, 2006No man is an island, but an island can tell you a lot about the men (and women) who visit for the holidays. As you’re planning this year’s retreat, it’s worth asking what your choice of water-locked playground says about you.MUSTIQUEThis privately owned, three-mile-long link in the Grenadine chain has rigorously controlled development, so its lush hills are sparsely dotted with pricey rental villas and a posh resort.Your fellow travelers are models on someone else’s dime, golden-age groupies who made it, minor-league royals.You might run into Tommy Hilfiger, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Carolina Herrera, the eccentric former island owner Colin Tennant.You’ll pass the time playing tennis, rumbling past the late Princess Margaret’s villa on an ATV, husband-hunting at the Firefly bar, recovering from the shock of landing in a twin-prop plane on a 2,500-foot-short runway.You should probably pack “The Oxford Guide to Heraldry.”MA

When you are in France, when it's the fall season and when you don't have much to do, you go picking mushrooms! Oh yeah!The hardest thing when picking mushrooms is actually knowing when it's a good or bad mushroom. Yes some of them can be fatal. Luckily, the city of Paris helps you to distinguish the eatable ones from the non-eatable ones. It takes place at the Parc Floral de Paris, until October 21st.There you find different species and explanations under each of them. Of course the mushrooms are refilled whenever one is "out of order" by the many people who harvest them.The Mycologic French Society is the organizer of the event.But don't get fooled, picking mushrooms is a real art and trust me, people who know the bons coins champignons (the right spots to pick mushrooms) won't tell anyone, even on their beathbed. Don't you know food is above everything in France!? Because this is the kind of secret you get from your parents, who got it from your grandparents and so on ... a re
I Fish; Therefore, I Am: And Other Observations by Patrick F. McManus This book is a compilation of three other McManus books: "A Fine and Pleasant Misery," "Never Sniff a Gift Fish," and "They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?" It is not the same volume as the two-cassette release by the same name. The cassette edition by this name is a compilation of only a few Pat stories. Dedicated McManus readers may already have the three volumes contained in this book. It is, however, a great gift, and nice for those who haven't yet purchased the earlier books that make it up.

I'm on Wandsworth Common, preparing to leave the bit of grass on which I have been sitting, packing the pockets of my shorts with my various paraphernalia, which include a newspaper and a pen; but not the newspaper: my pockets aren't that big. I notice a young lady walking towards me. She seems to be smiling at me. I can't really tell because the cheap women's sunglasses I bought from Boots on Oxford Street last week to avert a sun-combined-with-other-people-induced breakdown are struggling to cope properly with the big ball of fire in the sky; I am disappointed with their sun-glare-stopping capabilities but sufficiently convinced of their UV protection for my eyes - they came with a European quality-assurance certificate - for me to continue to don them without too much regret. Is she smiling at me? I should smile back. But what if she isn't smiling at me and I smile at her and she doesn't smile back? Anyway, she's likely got a boyfriend - an utter dogtosser, probably - so what
Well, it seems like just yesterday that the only way to have your say on community issues was by writing a letter to the editor (hand writing, mind) and posting it by snail-mail to your local newspaper. Now, thanks to sites like uthink, you can have your say on pretty much anything that tickles your fancy (or gets you in a lather!).
Taking a look around this community forum, you’ll find a plethora of issues that have sparked discussion, outrage and strongly voiced opinions. Want to know what people really think about child abuse, Air New Zealand carrying troops to Iraq, or the judicial system in New Zealand? Then take a look at what uthink tells us wethink.
But it’s not all current events; it’s more like a snapshot of New Zealand society, with everyone getting a look-in. I suppose it highlights what matters to us at any given moment. Topics span everything from movie reviews to parenting, relationships, sport, lifestyle choices, and those great dividers, religion and
As we are on the cusp of Hank Aaron’s home run record being broken, and with the passing of the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson playing his first game in the majors, it’s been mentioned over and over that the participation of African Americans in the game of baseball is at an all-time low. Now, Gary Sheffield, the designated hitter for the Detroit Tigers has decided to opine on the situation. Never shying away from controversy, in an interview with GQ Magazine, he said that African-Americans have been replaced with Latin ballplayers as the prevailing minority in the sport because they are “easier to control”. He quotes: "I called it years ago. What I called is that you're going to see more black faces, but there ain't no English going to be coming out. … [It's about] being able to tell [Latin players] what to do -- being able to control them," he told the magazine. "Where I'm from, you can't control us. You might get a guy to do it that way for a while becau
As much as I have criticized MASN, one of the most interesting aspects of the coverage of the Orioles on that network is this year is that you get a lot of in-depth and post game stuff that is fairly rare on other networks.Last night (keep in mind, I never watch the post-game stuff either because I am at the game, or I have better things to do), but Erik Bedard put on one of the most bizzare, yet alluring post game interviews I have ever heard.I watched, laughed in amazement and then asked myself why Erik Bedard was such a dick last night.Basically, I saw the wit, brilliance and utter ignorance of our ace.Both Matt Palmer of the Baltimore Examiner and Roch Kubatko of the Baltimore Sun have the transcript of the post-game interview on their respective blogs, but I just copied and pasted it from Roch's. Reporter: "Were you just in a zone with those strikeouts?" Bedard: "It just happened. I was throwing strikes and they were swinging." Reporter: "Is there any difference in how you pi
Kimberly has graciously awarded me a Thinking Blog Award. I took my time in passing the award on so that I could put thought into my choices (no pun intended). So now, without further ado, the winners are:1. Amy Jane at Untangling TalesI can't remember precicesly how I met Amy (was it the Blog Party?) but I'm glad I did. Her blog is creative and thoughtful, certainly a departure from the norm. I always enjoy her stories and thoughts. She has created a lovely place, and her words weave the tales she is untangling.2. Heather at In Te DomineHeather writes about her life creatively and artistically. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry. But each times she ushers me into the emotions and situations she describes.3. Karen at Needs New BatteriesKaren also writes the stories of her life with artistry and emotion. I particularily enjoy her questions for the universe. And she reads great books!4. Dave at A History of HistrionicsAh, my brother Dave. While the content on his blog cou

If, like me, you find fun in logical conundrums and absurdities, you will find plenty [here]. On the other hand, if you're of the type that finds people like Paulos and me tedious, you should look into his book anyway, just to see what you've been missing.

Peter Pace says homosexuality is immoral, and because the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the king of all things moral and righteous, he must be correct.As efforts continue to end the gay purge in America, it is not helped by the comments of the highest ranking military officer in the country. General Pace effectively likened homosexuality to adultery and pretty much said homosexuals have no place fighting for their country. Says Pace,"I do not believe that the armed forces are well served by saying through our policies that it's OK to be immoral in any way, not just with regards to homosexual acts"Homosexuality and adultery is immoral, but they overlook torture, abuse and other crimes of war. I think it is entirely clear the reasons why the military feels the need to purge homosexuals. One reason is the same reason why they didn’t let women in combat until recently; testosterone. The military teaches men to be manly and tough, which is great because they fight bravely and
There is a lot of linky-love goin' on around this here blogosphere, and I'm getting more than my share.
Not only did I get nominated by two of my favorite bloggers for a Perfect Post Award, the incomparable Redneck Mommy gave me a Thinking Blogger award.

So, I took my test. I did better than a 30, I'm sure of it. But how much better - is still up for grabs.I should know by the end of this week, which is entirely too long - but what can you do?Here's how the rest of my weekend played out -FridayTook my test. In 20 minutes. Yep. 20 fricking minutes. The stares from my other classmates still hunched over the test, sweat dripping from their foreheads and the constant clicking of the mechanical pencils were undeniably full of anger and envy for the quickness that was me.And I felt good about it. Not legally answering 2. One I left blank, the other I answered. But to be fair, my answer went something like this -What is adverse selection and how does it relate to financial markets.I remember reading this in the text, I remember looking at this in the notes, I even remember thinking "Hey, that sounds like something I probably need to know" but unfortunately, I can not remember anything other than that. Basically, my brain farted and I can't
If any of you are growing weary of my fabulously miserable post titles then let me know. Otherwise I'll continue bombarding you with the best in the worst diatribes my bulbous brain can conjure up.Despite it's overwhelming franchised-ness and blase' execution I still frequent Starbucks once every week. Sometimes it's just easier to get my cafe' au lait from the bux rather than make it on my own. Or pay some french bistro $15 for a non-to-go version.I'm also a mighty big proponent of text messaging (sorry Jon), so when I heard that I can simply text my zip code to MYSBUX and be told exactly where the nearest three Starbucks are to me and how to get there, well... I was pretty jazzed. Oh, and it's also got a nifty little map if your phone can handle it.... sometimes it's just the little things.If that's not exciting enough for you, then perhaps these interesting facts from Gizmodo will inspire a little more hatred for the uber-franchise.Number of web searches for nearest Starbuc
The thing with hoping for something you want to do with your life is that there is an uncertainty that you can't have it. And you can't have what you want to do with your life because what you want sometimes depends on other people. In the end, you fear what you want not coming to pass. In my case, it's the cotillion. Had it not been for my date who's been banned from entering the school, and the lack of professional and gentleman-ly male students of this batch, I would probably be part of the performance. And had it not been for that selfish and egoistic educator, I'd probably get the help I needed and asked for from Ma'am David. At some point, I have the right to say that life sucks because it's interdependent on other lives. But when you think about it, you don't need that ____ing interdependence to enjoy some passions in life. Like singing. Though, you can't really perform for a class production unless they approve... 「おわり」~+~
