How to Seduce Beautiful Women With Confidence
How to seduce beautiful women is the question all men want answered when they are on the hunt and are looking for more intimate encounters with the women they meet. Most men however find it difficult to seduce women and end up either rejected or in the dreaded ‘friend zone’ that seems so hard to climb out of.
There are a few truths that you must know about women before you should start looking at how to seduce women however:
* Women WANT to be seduced and enjoy sex as much as men do.
* Women need certain prerequisites met before they allow themselves to be seduced.
* Women will never initiate seduction it is all up to you and is in your power.
By knowing this you understand that a rejection is not often an outright ‘no’ but is instead that you have not done your homework and groundwork before moving in to close the deal so to speak.
Women have some underlying things they need satisfied before they are primed to be seduced and this can vary from women to women, it is your job to find out what makes them tick and that is by achieving the first prerequisite anyway:
* Rapport: To find out how to seduce beautiful women you need to establish a level of rapport with them. This is the first step to gaining trust and it allows you to show your best side while they are open to your advances and words. It also allows you to ask them about themselves and what they like to uncover some interesting facts you can use for further seduction.
* Eye contact: It has been shown in many experiments that good eye contact actually has a level of hypnosis attached to it. The science behind this is debatable but this is an important aspect when establishing rapport and also shows your confidence and interest when talking to them which is what women desire.
* Look for Approval: If you have developed a rapport with this women and can make her laugh and you can pick the subtle signals such as her leaning closer to you (a trick is to lower your volume a bit to make her lean forward to hear her, if she does she is interested). Other signals may include some other body language signs such as slightly parted lips, moist lips, and her mirroring your smiles back at you as you talk.
* Touching: If all of these signs are apparent and you have not already done so try to engage in some gentle physical advances such as touching her hand, a simple pat of squeeze might do. Brush her hair back maybe if it has fallen over her eyes, small approaches to see if she reciprocates.
* Propose a next step: This is all important, like a salesman this is the closing line on this encounter. Your proposal should not be asking for permission but instead should be a statement in question form. It may not be an invitation back to your bedroom if she is not ready but you have an opportunity to get their number, propose a date or something that moves you from where you are now closer to full seduction.

Jon Stewart Is America's Most Trusted Newsman
Jon Stewart
Online Poll: Jon Stewart Is America's Most Trusted Newsman
Well, in a result that he will probably accept as downright apocalyptic for America, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart has been selected, in an online poll conducted by Time Magazine, as America's Most Trusted Newscaster, post-Cronkite. Matched up against Brian Williams, Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson, Stewart prevailed with 44 percent of the vote. Now, if we're being honest, he probably managed to prevail as the winner precisely because he was the odd man out in a field of network news anchors. Nevertheless, I think Jim Cramer should feel free to SNACK ON THAT.
Brian Williams drew the second largest percentage of votes, with 29 percent. Gibson and Couric finished third and fourth, respectively, with 19 and 7 percent of the vote.
Time has helpfully broken out the results, state-by-state, so if you want to muse on some anomalous results, feel free. Brian Williams won Arizona, Wyoming, Nebraska, North Dakota, Florida, South Carolina, Indiana, Delaware and Vermont, and tied in Kentucky and Alaska. Charlie Gibson was big in Tennessee and Montana. Katie Couric pulled off the Mondalian feat of winning one state: Iowa.
Stewart finished no lower than second place in all states, except, curiously, Vermont.

The Science of Romance: Why We Love
The Science of Romance: Why We Love
The last time you had sex, there was arguably not a thought in your head. O.K., if it was very familiar sex with a very familiar partner, the kind that--truth be told--you probably have most of the time, your mind may have wandered off to such decidedly nonerotic matters as balancing your checkbook or planning your week. If it was the kind of sex you shouldn't have been having in the first place--the kind you were regretting even as it was taking place--you might have already been flashing ahead to the likely consequences. But if it was that kind of sex that's the whole reason you took up having sex in the first place--the out-of-breath, out-of-body, can-you-believe-this-is-actually-happening kind of sex--the rational you had probably taken a powder
Losing our faculties over a matter like sex ought not to make much sense for a species like ours that relies on its wits. A savanna full of predators, after all, was not a place to get distracted. But the lure of losing our faculties is one of the things that makes sex thrilling--and one of the very things that keeps the species going. As far as your genes are concerned, your principal job while you're alive is to conceive offspring, bring them to adulthood and then obligingly die so you don't consume resources better spent on the young. Anything that encourages you to breed now and breed plenty gets that job done.
But mating and the rituals surrounding it make us come unhinged in other ways too, ones that are harder to explain by the mere babymaking imperative. There's the transcendent sense of tenderness you feel toward a person who sparks your interest. There's the sublime feeling of relief and reward when that interest is returned. There are the flowers you buy and the poetry you write and the impulsive trip you make to the other side of the world just so you can spend 48 hours in the presence of a lover who's far away. That's an awful lot of busywork just to get a sperm to meet an egg--if merely getting a sperm to meet an egg is really all that it's about.
Human beings make a terrible fuss about a lot of things but none more than romance. Eating and drinking are just as important for keeping the species going--more so actually, since a celibate person can at least continue living but a starving person can't. Yet while we may build whole institutions around the simple ritual of eating, it never turns us flat-out nuts. Romance does.
"People compose poetry, novels, sitcoms for love," says Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at Rutgers University and something of the Queen Mum of romance research. "They live for love, die for love, kill for love. It can be stronger than the drive to stay alive."
On its good days (and love has a lot of them), all this seems to make perfect sense. Nearly 30 years ago, psychologist Elaine Hatfield of the University of Hawaii and sociologist Susan Sprecher now of Illinois State University developed a 15-item questionnaire that ranks people along what the researchers call the passionate-love scale (see box, page 60). Hatfield has administered the test in places as varied as the U.S., Pacific islands, Russia, Mexico, Pakistan and, most recently, India and has found that no matter where she looks, it's impossible to squash love. "It seemed only people in the West were goofy enough to marry for passionate love," she says. "But in all of the cultures I've studied, people love wildly."
What scientists, not to mention the rest of us, want to know is, Why? What makes us go so loony over love? Why would we bother with this elaborate exercise in fan dances and flirtations, winking and signaling, joy and sorrow? "We have only a very limited understanding of what romance is in a scientific sense," admits John Bancroft, emeritus director of the Kinsey Institute in Bloomington, Ind., a place where they know a thing or two about the way human beings pair up. But that limited understanding is expanding. The more scientists look, the more they're able to tease romance apart into its individual strands--the visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, neurochemical processes that make it possible. None of those things may be necessary for simple procreation, but all of them appear essential for something larger. What that something is--and how we achieve it-- is only now coming clear.
The Love Hunt
If human reproductive behavior is a complicated thing, part of the reason is that it's designed to serve two clashing purposes. On the one hand, we're driven to mate a lot. On the other hand, we want to mate well so that our offspring survive. If you're a female, you get only a few rolls of the reproductive dice in a lifetime. If you're a male, your freedom to conceive is limited only by the availability of willing partners, but the demands of providing for too big a brood are a powerful incentive to limit your pairings to the female who will give you just a few strong young. For that reason, no sooner do we reach sexual maturity than we learn to look for signals of good genes and reproductive fitness in potential partners and, importantly, to display them ourselves.
"Every living human is a descendant of a long line of successful maters," says David Buss, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin. "We've adapted to pick certain types of mates and to fulfill the desires of the opposite sex."
One of the most primal of those desires is that a possible partner smells right. Good smells and bad smells are fundamentally no different from each other; both are merely volatile molecules wafting off an object and providing some clue as to the thing that emitted them. Humans, like all animals, quickly learn to assign values to those scents, recognizing that, say, putrefying flesh can carry disease and thus recoiling from its smell and that warm cookies carry the promise of vanilla, sugar and butter and thus being drawn to them. Other humans carry telltale smells of their own, and those can affect us in equally powerful ways.
The best-known illustration of the invisible influence of scent is the way the menstrual cycles of women who live communally tend to synchronize. In a state of nature, this is a very good idea. It's not in a tribe's or community's interests for one ovulating female to monopolize the reproductive attention of too many males. Better to have all the females become fertile at once and allow the fittest potential mates to compete with one another for them.

Only death could silence Henry Allingham.
He went to war as a teenager, helped keep flimsy aircraft flying, survived his wounds and came home from World War I to a long — very long — and fruitful life.
But only in his last years did he discover his true mission: to remind new generations of the sacrifices of the millions slaughtered in the trenches, killed in the air, or lost at sea in what Britons call the Great War.

Google Now Hiring People To Work From Home
Google Now Hiring People To Work From Home
Has the online titan now opened the doors for everyday people like you to work for them? If this is true, that means that thousands of Americans might have a safe and bright future working from the comfort of their homes, all of which will be decided in the next few days.
In the middle of this recession this country and the world is going through, Google has been thriving and reporting profits consistently every quarter.
Completely innovating the Search Engine industry in the late 1990's, Google has had a history of development and innovation, and another one is about to come.
Google has now opened it's doors and will be hiring everyday people to work from the comfort of their own homes posting links. The way this works is Google will allow people to signup and receive a package which will contain all the step by step instructions to get setup from home.
This will allow Google to hire talent that would otherwise be unreachable and compensate them based on results on a long term basis.
What you need: A Computer, an Internet Connection and the desire to make a living working from home. No special skills are required other than knowing how to use a computer and navigate the internet.
Mary, a mother from San Jose, CA who worked with Google in the experimental parts of this program, is thriving, in the middle of an economic recession, working in the comfort of her own home with Google.
From her website: "I get paid about $25 for every link I post on Google and I get paid every week... I make around $5500 a month right now"
Google has now officially released their new "work from home" system out to the public. There will be thousand of spots available that are expected to go very soon in the next few days.
The way this works is very simple, Google says.
First you will need to apply for their work from home kits. Google has release a limited amount of kits, all distributed through local websites in your area, which will cost $2 of shipping and handling to the public.
Google says this charge is made to cover shipping costs but also to separate the people that are serious about working with them through this program.
Once you have ordered your kit (if you are one of the lucky few to get availability in your area) then you will receive a package that will contain all the instructions you need to start working from home for the online titan.
This kit will show you all you need to know, Google says. You will be performing simple and straightforward tasks such as posting links. "Anybody with basic computer skills will be able to perform these tasks" adding to that they say that "We understand the psychology of working from home and we want to give our employees tasks that are simple and easy, and reward them generously in order to keep them motivated."
Is this worth quitting your job? If you're lucky enough to receive a kit, you might not even have to.
"We start off our work from home program only requiring 1-2 hours a day of work, earning a great income from the start. This way our work from home employees will see the benefit and start devoting more and more time each day and their salaries will increase accordingly" Google reports.
Although they are going very fast since their release earlier today, thousands of positions are still available at the time of this writing.
To apply for a job working from home for Google here are the three steps:
Step 1: Get the Google Work From Home Kit, only pay the $2.95 for shipping. (The shipping cost allows Google to screen for serious people).
Step 2: Follow the directions on your package and set up a Google account. Then they will give you the website links to post. Start posting those links. Google tracks everything.
Step 3: Google will send out your checks weekly. Or you can start to have them wire directly into your checking account. (Your first checks will be about $750 to $1,500 a week. Then it goes up from there. Depends on how many links you posted online.)

Madhu Sapre and Milind Soman, Tuff Shoes ad
Madhu Sapre and Milind Soman, Tuff Shoes ad
Way back in 1995, an extremely steamy print ad for Tuff Shoes landed both the models, who were dating each other at that time, in hot water. The ad showed them wearing only shoes and a python.
Needless to say, religious groups and the moral police protested against the ad. A lawsuit was also filed against them, which was later dropped.
