PREVIEW

RAJNEETI

Producer & Director: Prakash Jha Starring: Ranbir Kapoor,Katrina Kaif, Nana Patekar, Naseeruddin Shah, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai, Ajay Devgan Release date : 4th June 2010. Rajneeti is a story about Indian politics. About Indian democracy. About Indian elections. Above all, it is a story of a few people who control the destiny of the billions of people in India. It is the story of their unstoppable ambition, and their bitter and violent battle to achieve it. Rajneeti is the story of people who understand power – and know how to wield it at will. The movie is about Bhaskar Sanyal (Nasreruddin Shah) the fire-brand leftist leader, as feared for his single-handed ability to challenge the most powerful leaders as he was respected for his political integrity. Until one private mistake that leads him into self-imposed exile and spawned a secret consequence that shook the destiny of the political future of the state. Rajneeti is also about Sooraj (Ajay Devgn) who rose from the backward classes – with anger in his heart and leadership on his mind. And yet, his destiny could never overcome the tragedy of his birth, trapping him in a terrible dilemma where his loyalty to his friend threatens to destroy his own family. Of Brij Gopal (Nana Patekar), who shunned every political ambition even as he continued to mentor and guide the younger generation of leaders while the battle got bloodier by the day? It is the story of Prithvi Pratap (Arjun Rampal), heir to a powerful political legacy and impatient to seize the top position. A man with a heart of gold but who is all brawn. A man whose uncontrollable passions bring his family to the brink of political extinction. And of Veerendra Pratap (Manoj Bajpai), whose lunge at the throne was thwarted even as he was within striking distance of it. A man who believes he was born to rule, and who will now stop at absolutely nothing to claw his way back to the top. Of Indu Sakseria (Katrina Kaif), the princess – beautiful, passionate, arrogant. She had only one all-consuming love. Little did she know that her personal happiness was dependent on the changing electoral fortunes of her love, and that even a slight shift in the faultiness of political negotiation would cause a devastating earthquake in her personal life? And yet, this spirited never-say-die diva rose from the ashes of her tragedy to challenge every contender, over-turning the political future of the state. Of Sarah Jean Collins (Sarah Thompson), who came from one of the bloodiest and most violent places of earth? Who escaped from there, bruised, hurt, and fell in love with a soul-mate who shared a similar legacy. And her abhorrence for it. And yet, when he was sucked into his destiny, this innocent bewildered girl’s private world was thrown asunder. And, it is the story of Samar Pratap (Ranbir Kapoor), the ultimate outsider. The apolitical conscientious objector, who got reluctantly sucked into the battle-ravaged arena of family rivalry. Only to turn into a master of the craft of political warfare. It is the story of the woman that he loved, and the one that loved and lost him. It is the story of his determined and fierce fight to protect his family. Of the bloodiest of final battles in a war alien to his character. It is the story of a man’s descent into the moral hell that is Indian politics. It is the story of a fiercely fought election campaign, where money-power and corruption are the accepted norms, and where treachery and manipulation are routinely used weapons. As the personal drama of these conflict-ridden characters unfolds against this gritty backdrop, love and friendship become mere baits, and relationships get sacrificed at the altar of political alignments. The darkness that rises from their soul threatens to envelope all that they hold precious. Until eventually, in the crescendo of increasing violence, the line between good and evil blurs, making it impossible to distinguish heroes from villains. Raajneeti is the story of Indian democracy. And its ugly underside. It is about politics. And beyond.

Tips For Saving on Designer Fashion

Designer clothes, shoes & purses come with a great reputation. These items are often made with higher quality materials and come with a warranty of some sort. The bigger the name or reputation, it seems the larger the price tag. Owning these brands for some, are a status symbol and to others are just a beacon of quality. Whatever the reason for wanting to own designer shoes, purses & clothing is personal. However, just because they bare a designer name, does not necessarily mean they have to come with a full designer price.

In today’s economy, many of us are cutting back, believe it or not, it doesn’t matter what the designer name is, they too are feeling the cut of the downturn. They want to make sales without sacrificing the quality of their brand. This new economy has caused them to rethink the way they market these luxury items. You can find great sales on designer shoes, clothes & purses if you know where to look. If you love the quality and look of designer fashion, there is no reason you can't continue to purchase these items. Simply put, there is always a way to find the designer fashions you love at a reasonable purchase price. If you don’t want to sacrifice your designer shoes, purses & clothing in this time of economic downturn, there are ways to get exactly what you want without paying a ton of money for them.

Here are a few tips for finding these steals on a lot of the designer fashions you desire:

1. Go to your favorite designers’ website & sign up for their newsletters. These newsletters announce savings, contests and clearance offers. Signing up for these newsletters is the best way to be in the know if you want to buy directly from the designer.

2. Follow your favorite brand on Twitter. Many designers will offer you a special coupon code for savings from anywhere from 10% to 50% off of their merchandise just for becoming a follower. Quite often, these coupons have no expiration date nor do they have any special restrictions. It’s pretty difficult to add restrictions in 140 characters or less.

3. Become a fan on their Facebook page. Not only can you get special savings on Facebook but I have even seen designers give away merchandise to fans who respond first to something they post or to fans who offer relevant & thoughtful comments.

4. Sign up for private membership sites such as:

HauteLook

Beyond The Rack

The Top Secret

Editors Closet

Rue La La

Gilt

These websites and many others like them offer anywhere from 1 day to 1 week sales on designer fashions.

5. If shoes are your passion, you can find a wide selection of designer shoes at heels.com, Endless & 6pm and they range from 20% to sometimes up to 90% off.

6. Another place to get savings on designer goods is by also signing up for your favorite retail outlets newsletters. While you may not be able to specify your favorite designers, you will know when other designers go on sale to include your favorite designer as well.

What Makes A Man Attractive To A Woman: 3 Proven Ways To Attract Girls

Knowing what makes a man attractive to a woman is a great advantage in the playing field. After all, you can’t just blindly grope you way to a woman’s heart. You might end up getting slapped in the face in more ways than one. Besides, there’s no such thing as dumb luck in the game of love.

If you want to know what makes a man attractive to a woman, then read this article.

Success

Women can’t help but be attracted to guys who are successful. Who wants to date Chris the Couch Potato when they can date Eric the Successful Entrepreneur?

Women want men who are good providers, men who are clearly leader of the pack material. That’s the way it has always been.

Even back during prehistoric times, cave women have always had a thing for the cavemen who brought home the bacon. You can bet that whoever invented the first wheel had no problem getting all the girls.

Strength

Strength makes a man attractive to a woman. There’s no doubt about it. The question is: How do you go about displaying your strength? You don’t have to go into extreme sports bulging your muscles like your favorite wrestlers, but you can do something to whip yourself into shape.

Physical strength denotes capability and discipline. Women are also attracted to strength in character. By remaining true to your principles and staying steadfast in any situation, you’re sending out the message that you’re the best choice in every way.

Status

Another crucial thing that makes a man attractive to a woman is status. In a way, this is what you get when you combine success and strength. Status can mean anything from having a prestigious company position to being the most popular guy in your school.

Keep in mind though that being crowned the undisputed king of nachos isn’t exactly the kind of status I’m referring to. You may be a complete nobody today; but if you apply yourself correctly, you’ll find out just how easy it is for others to recognize your true potential.

Now that you have an idea of what makes a man attractive to a woman, there is no excuse for going out unprepared or staying home depressed for that matter. Nobody is born with all these things in a complete package, but everybody has the opportunity to achieve all three. It is up to you how to make the most of it.

Outdoor Lighting To Create High Visual Appeal

Landscaping has always occupied the human minds since ages and we must have seen how beautifully people maintain the natural landscape around them to give it an aesthetic appeal. The trend is still continuing with everyone wishing to modify the visible features of the land to make it more attractive.

The surrounding features of a land, whether it is a house, country estate, park or institutional setting, must be taken care of as they are responsible for the first impression on visitors. Not only this, the owner himself wishes to be charmed by the landscape of his house when he comes back home or when he looks outside through his window.

This has led people to devise a suitable Landscape design for their garden, yard, lawn, patio, balcony or even a windowsill to make them attractive. Landscape design is not everybody’s cup of tea and requires the consideration of several related factors and apt design skills. A landscaper with extreme knowledge and experience can prepare a landscape design that suits the needs and yet lend an artistic look to the land area.

Often referred to as Garden design, Landscape design is either done by landscape designers or licensed Landscape Contractors depending upon the requirement. While Landscape designers can take up small projects, Landscape Contractors handle large projects. Post design comes Landscape Maintenance which is necessary to keep intact the

beauty and health of a landscape.

Landscape maintenance contains a multitude of services like plant installation, harvesting, lawn care, Bed edging, Leaf removals, Topdressing, Aeration, Weeding, Irrigation, Irrigation repairs, fencing, etc which are undertaken on a regular basis by Landscape Maintenance professionals.

A properly designed and beautiful landscape is sure to catch attention but if is complemented by well planned outdoor

lighting; it can greatly enhance the beauty of the house. Outdoor Lighting is often integrated with landscape design to

facilitate the implementation later on. Though offering safety at night, it is deliberately used to highlight the attractive

features of the landscape.

Outdoor Lighting can make your premise stand apart in the crowd and significantly improve the look of your outer living area where you can host parties or simply take a walk to relax.

So if you have a landscape which you wish to adorn, then what you need to do is hire a landscape service company which will take care of all your needs from landscape design to maintenance and will offer several other beneficial services to provide utmost convenience.

Open Your Eyes To Quality Overseas Education

Professionally ambitious individuals are crossing national boundaries to pursue courses that would give them an edge in the corporate set up. Educational institutions abroad offer students curriculum designed to meet the demands of the real world, access to world class facilities and a life style which enables them to comfortably integrate into another culture smoothly.

Study Overseas, one of India’s largest education consultancies brings together 51 institutions, 48 from the UK and 3 from Singapore in June 2010 in New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai over 4 days in each city to give students an opportunity to meet the delegates face to face and find out if they are eligible to pursue the courses on offer in these institutions. The entry to the fairs in all 6 cities is free of cost. The format of the fair is completely different from the usual. Every student will be pre-counselled to make sure that they approach institutions that are suitable for their academic profile. Students would get an opportunity to sit and discuss with the representatives about the course and the entry requirements. Usually in an education fair, students only get a fleeting moment to speak to the representative and Study Overseas has sought to address this issue by coming up with a format wherein the student traffic will be managed to ensure that institutions and students feel that they have spent their time in a worthwhile manner.

United Kingdom has traditionally welcomed well qualified Indian students to pursue their education in more than a 100 universities that dot the tiny island nation. The UK is famous for its one year taught Masters, the long tradition of education, the quality of its teaching and research and the wide choice of courses that they can offer international students. Recently the UK Border Agency has initiated changes to the immigration policy which remain however friendly to university bound undergraduate and post graduate students.

Singapore has recently become a favored destination to students who want the international exposure not too far away from home. Singapore is ideally perched at the edge of South Asia and can be a good destination for a student who wishes to pursue his or her career in the Asia Pacific. Indian students easily fit into this country where Tamil is one of the official languages and where a lot of Indians are settled. Singapore offers quality at an affordable price.

Higher education is really only the first step that helps to reshape the individual identities, cultural tastes, and professional aspirations. What are you waiting for? Open your eyes to a world of quality education……come and meet the delegates at the Study Overseas Admissions Fair June 2010.

Early Pregnancy Complications - Five Of The Most Common Conditions To Avoid!

During the nine-month span of a woman's pregnancy, quite a number of complications can potentially occur. This is not said to scare you or any such thing, instead it is so that you can become aware. As the saying goes; "knowledge is power". This article aims to explore five of the most common early pregnancy complications… #1. Ectopic pregnancy… This condition is indicative of the embryo settling or embedding itself in a location different from the uterus. Usually this location is a place where it cannot sustain itself like the ovary or the fallopian tube. What usually occurs after this embedding is that the gestational sac, that is, the bag where the embryo resides, bursts and the embryo dies. When that happens, there is severe bleeding or, in some cases, shock may occur. This should be handles with the utmost urgency as it has the potential of being life threatening. #2. Congenital Defects… The baby may develop congenital defects, a condition which occurs if the mother has been exposed to radiation or has suffered an infection. The procedures for diagnosing this condition include, but are not limited to, the following; ultrasound and amniotic fluid sampling. To avoid neural tube defects, you can take folic acid supplements. #3. Vesicular mole… This is a condition that is characterized by the absence of a growing embryo and the abnormal growing of the placental tissue into the uterine wall and in some cases spreading beyond the uterus. These placental tissues resemble a cluster of grapes and are referred to as vesicular moles. A procedure known as Dilation and Curettage is what is performed to remove these moles. #4. Hyperemesis Gravidarum… This condition is characterized by exaggerated vomiting and nausea during pregnancy. Dehydration sets in and the mother is unable to eat anything. This commonly occurs when the pregnancy consists of twins. To reduce the vomiting, intravenous fluids, medication and Vitamin B6 injections are used. #5. Bleeding… During early pregnancy, bleeding may occur without any serious impact. Nevertheless it may often time lead to miscarriages or spontaneous abortions. Evident only through a scan, the spontaneous abortion process may actually be asymptomatic and is generally referred to as a missed abortion. As stated above, this article is not to put fear in your heart. It is instead a way of providing you with much-needed information relating to early pregnancy complications which may happen so that you can be better positioned to combat them if they occur. Learning to identify these conditions is important and quickly alerting your doctor if you suspect that you may be experiencing any abnormality is key.

Tattoos Designs For Men - Why You Should Get Inked

Although there are a lot of great tattoos designs for men out there, the top most popular choice in tattoo designs seem to always have an intricate art that is innate in every piece. They have deeper meanings that have been carried on through time because tattoo bearers love seeing their experiences, character and personality on the tattoo image. Here are several types of tattoos designs for men that have stood the test of time: Tattoos As a Symbol of Marriage Art tattoos designs have been worn as a marriage tattoo. This actually serves the function as our modern day wedding rings which are worn as a symbol of commitment to one another. But more than a symbol of commitment, primitives have believed that their tattoo will allow them to find their spouse in the afterlife. Nowadays, you can still see the practice of couple tattoos in matching tattoed armbands, rings, initials, symbols as a permanent witness to their unending love and fidelity for each other. Tattoos As a Rite of Passage Adolescents in many tribes who are nearing maturity would go under the needle to get a tribal tattoo before they become socially accepted as an adult. A young man who could not bear and endure the pain of getting a tattoo would be unfit for battle, hunting or for fending for his own family. This dooms the young man to live an outcast life for the rest of his days. In modern times such as today, teens turning eighteen or twenty-one anticipate their coming of age by getting a tattoo to celebrate their entry to adulthood. Tattoos For Totem Animal Guardianship Tattoos designs for men were worn by a couple of tribes such as the Pacific Northwest Native American tribes, the Druids and the Celts of the British Isle because they believe in the power of particular totem animals to guard and bless lives of those whom the animals choose to protect. A marking of a totem animal gives the bearer the strengths and abilities of the certain totem animal and it also serves as a mysterious link between the spirit of the animal and the bearer of the mark. Even today, many tattoo enthusiasts boldy sport a tribal tattoo based on a certain animal because of the qualities and strengths of that particular creature.

Ordinary Problems Of Coexistence Between Joint Owners

When you live in an apartment house there can be some problems of coexistence that might undermine good neighbor relations. Among the commonest reasons of dispute among joint-owners there are bothersome noises or smells, and the failure to perform or to deal with some common obligations, like cleaning stairs and other common spaces, the renovation and restoration of common spaces and the distribution of the expenses for the garden care. Sooner or later all those who live in an apartment house have to face noisy neighbors, who might watch TV loud until late at night, or fight often not skimping on yells and outbursts, and getting their neighbors acquainted with their problems. In these cases, if you are lucky enough, a little common sense and polite manners might work: knocking on the “accused” neighbor door and, with a smile on your face, kindly asking to turn down the TV, at least at night, or highlighting that your child has a light sleep and wakes up if s/he hears too loud noises, might be enough if you are speaking to an easygoing and understanding person. On the contrary, if our neighbors are quite touchy or not collaborative at all, we might even affect our relations to them, going nowhere. What to do in such cases? Explaining the problem during a tenants’ meeting, for example, (although it is not sure that this is really going to solve the problem, especially if the other joint-owners are not affected by this situation) or, at worst, take legal action. Another source of arguments among joint-owners can concern the cleaning of common spaces. People usually decide to charge a specialized company, and this occurs in all the Italian cities (as far as cleaning companies is concerned, cities like Milan and Rome are spoiled for choice): in this way you get a constant and effective service, and costs are then divided among all the joint-owners. Charging a specialized company, which issues an invoice and works in a serious way, each joint-owner can verify costs, deducing the part that s/he has to pay. In other cases people decide to charge a joint-owner with the cleaning of the common spaces: the remuneration is usually lower than the one asked by a specialized company, as the joint-owner is paid under the table. This is what happens also in the case of garden care: if a retired gardener lives in the house, for example, the other joint-owners might charge him with the care of the garden, instead of hiring another gardener. On the one hand the joint-owners can prefer such solutions, which make them spare a bit, on the other hand in this way you are more likely to incur problems and incomprehension. Just to make some examples, the joint-owner-gardener or cleaning lady is not insured, and this might be a problem in case of accident; secondly, as there are neither invoices nor bills, some joint-owners might object to the costs of the works, without being able to discuss the problem during a tenants’ meeting, as the work is paid under the table and the manager does not know anything about. For these reasons it is always better to spend a bit more, but to have fewer problems, charging a company specialized in houses and apartments cleaning or a professional gardener.

Why I Became A Special Education Attorney

Eight years ago I moved my law practice from bankruptcy to special education. I had a personal reason for this. A few years prior to that shift, my second son was diagnosed with Autism. Right after accepting the challenge of the Autism diagnosis, I engulfed myself in discovering everything I could about Autism, special education advocacy, regional center services, and whatever support groups existed. What I learned could fill a publication, but here are the key elements that I think are valuable for parents seeking assistance with special education advocacy. The most significant thing is to believe that your child is going to be much more capable of achievements than anyone would believe is possible. Set and keep the bar high for your child and make the special education professionals see your son/daughter as a child first, the Autism label should be secondary. This perspective will help you persevere when you are being told there is no funding, classrooms, and/or personnel/services available to help your child. It is the tenacity of parents that provides results in meeting their children’s unique needs. However, while being tenacious you must also be reasonable. This seems like contrary advice. But it isn’t really. Remember that most people working in the area of education really do want what is best for your child. They just do not understand your child as well as you do. Parents need to build a good team that includes an attorney or advocate, an educational psychologist as your expert, and a qualified pediatrician who understands Autism. Loaded with this team make sure that you approach the school district with the same dignity and respect that you would want them to have for your child. Information is more powerful than confrontation. There will come a day when confrontation may be the solution to cooperation. This is the time that your team comes together with your input to file a due process complaint, that seeks the free and appropriate education that your child deserves. I have had to take this strategy for my child. Even as an attorney filing for and participating in a due process hearing was hard and stressful. But it was of great benefit. My child has benefited from his team and is currently receiving an education that not only addresses his academic needs but his social emotional ones too.

You must learn from the mistakes of others. you can't possibly
live long enough to make them all yourself

A beautiful Poem

Faith in God

Smitty was a hard-headed farmer. When a flood hit the area, he climbed onto the roof of his house. A rescue boat came along but Smitty told them, "No, thanks. I have faith in the Lord. He will save me. The waves got even higher and Smitty had to go to the very top of the roof. Another boat came by to save him, but he still insisted that the Lord would save him. Then the water began to get his feet wet and a helicopter swooped down to take him away. But Smitty still depended on the Lord to save him. Well, you can easily imagine what happened. Yes. Smitty was drowned. When he stood before the Lord in the next world, he complained, "Lord, I had such faith in you. Why didn't you save me?" To which the Lord replied, "What more do you want me to do? I sent you two boats and a helicopter."

Saint James puts it this way in the Scripture: "It is by his actions that a man is put right with God, and not by his faith alone"

When you meet a man, you judge him by his clothes,



When you leave, you judge him by his heart

How To Attract Beautiful Women: Understanding Women’s Body Language

Developing an understanding of body language is an essential part of learning how to attract beautiful women. A woman, according to research, sends out approximately five times more messages via body language than a man does during the same period of time. Missing out on the information those signals are trying to send is disastrous to your game, particularly because, since body language is controlled unconsciously, it is the most accurate indicator of a woman’s feelings.

One of the top signs a woman is flirting with you is known as “preening.” A woman is preening when she strokes her hair, runs her fingers through it, tosses it over her shoulders…you get the idea. Another classic preening move is calling attention to her mouth. A woman will lick her lips, bite them, or touch them in order to get your attention. The more she draws attention to her lips, the more you will want to kiss them.

Some body language messages are easier to read: if she maintains eye contact, especially if she does so for a longer-than-socially-acceptable timeframe, she’s into you. Another strong indicator of interest is her touch. If you touch her and she touches you back, she’s giving you permission to touch her more. She might even start initiating physical contact.

Notice the position of her body. If her feet are pointing towards you, she likes you. If her arms are crossed, she doesn’t.

The eyes are an incredibly important source of information that you must be taught to read if you’re going to learn how to attract beautiful women effectively. In addition to eye contact, keep a careful watch over her pupils. Human pupils dilate (expand) when they like something, and contract when they do not. Just make sure you’re not confusing signals of interest with a natural phenomenon – if it’s dark, her pupils will naturally dilate and if it’s bright out, her pupils will naturally contract.

Don’t think that, just because women are more adept at reading body language, it’s a method of communication that only they can use – you can learn how to attract beautiful women with your body language, too!

What Qualities Do Modeling Agencies Seek In A Model?

When a Modeling agency look out for models to represent in it’s client projects, it will have to look out for a number of qualities related to the task that need to be fulfilled by the model it is going to select. The choice of models and the physical qualifications for a particular project is variable according to the job they wish to accomplish. For example, if a modeling company wants to opt for models to support ramp walks, they will have asset of requirements, next if they need a photo shoot model they will have a set of qualities they look in for. So qualities keeps changing as requirements keep changing and nothing is as permanent as it seems to be in modeling world. The important thing that a modeling agency seeks in a model is how adaptable is the model and how well is she wearing the skin of a particular costume and its mood. A model must obviously be camera-friendly and have a great body that can be showed with delight.

But if you ask anyone outside the field about how a model must look or What Qualities Do Modeling Agencies seek in a Model, they all might answer that a model must be pretty and very thin. But as far as the truth is concerned, a lot of filtering process goes through while a modeling company selects a model. The modeling agencies take a lot of pain and care in selecting different types of models to satisfy the group of clients and task they give them. In this article, you can find out a few important Qualities that Modeling Agencies seek in a Model, which you may even feel surprised to know.

One of the main qualities the modeling agencies check on the models they hire is the model’s Ethnicity. The modeling agencies would prefer to choose the ethnicity totally depending on the client’s product or given task. In fact the race of the model will actually be an extremely significant factor when a model is being chosen. A lot of companies out there would like to choose for models with a unique, ethnic look. Mainly, ethnicity of the model is decided acceding to the target audience that the agency’s client wants to aim for.

The next important thing that plays a vital role in an agency choosing a model is the gender of the model. Just like how ethnicity plays an important role, gender also plays an important role in determining the need of the client. Again the gender they will want to choose will depend up on the target audience the client’s are aiming at.

In the recent past, female models with zero size looks were ruling the roost, but now the time has changed and lot of plus size models and being taken into the task. Zero size models are like dream and they are not able to be close to the audience and hence pulse size models are chosen so that audience can relate themselves to the models

How to Choose Tile for Kitchen Remodeling

Before starting a tile replacement project in your kitchen, it is imperative to consider the pros and cons of the available types of tile for the floor. First, choose a color and design scheme that fits your personal style. Since tile additions are often a home investment make sure your style is something you can enjoy for a long time or is compatible with a variety of styles. Aslo consider your functionality needs for the tile you plan to install. After making the big decision, here are five other features of tile to consider before you buy.

Durability: Because any kitchen is a high-traffic area, it’s essential that any tile has a long tread life. Quality tile shouldn’t crack, scuff, or chip easily. And even if scratches do happen, the surface of high quality tile should mask small damages. The downside to durability is that the tile is harder and thus is more difficult to cut. Also, often, the harder the tile, the more expensive it will be per square inch.

Easy to Clean: No one enjoys getting on their hands and knees and scrubbing a large kitchen’s floor, so minimizing tile upkeep is essential. Buffing tile should be physically manageable, and the tile should be able to withstand non-toxic chemical cleaners. When choosing your kitchen tile material, look into waterproof glazing and hypoallergenic materials.

Easy installation: Depending on the scope of the project, if you’re hiring a professional to complete your kitchen makeover, installation costs may take a significant part of your remodeling budget. The more intricate the tile size and design, the longer it takes to install, and the more it would cost. So always contact your local tile contractor to receive an estimate for installation costs before you commit to the project. Something to consider: less-expensive tile means easier installation, but also poorer quality.

Eco-friendliness: Many tile manufacturers have already taken steps to make sure that factories reduce their carbon output. Many popular tile schemes are made from recycled materials and can be cleaned with homemade solutions that don’t harm the environment. So make sure to ask your tile retailer before buying tile.

Now that you’ve chosen your style and color, you can make a checklist for tile features listed above to make sure you get the best value possible.

Online Counseling Degrees

An online counseling degree? My, how the times have changed. Not even two years ago, my reading of the literature about online educational programs was that there were questions about accreditation and value.

How could anyone learn anything online, particularly something which could be as complicated as counseling?

Well, accreditation of online courses and schools has happened, and the perceived value of an online counseling degree has increased.

Companies are doing lots of online training now, and seeing the value for their employees, and that has hastened the acceptance of online counseling degrees.

I already have my Master's degree, and I am not going to get a Ph.D. in my field, although I believe there are online counseling Ph.D. programs, so I will not be able to personally comment on the online process.

But one of the reasons I choose the school I attended was because it was close, and therefore convenient.

Online educational programs are even more convenient.

And they are convenient for your children to interrupt too, which happens when I am teaching my SBI class online. Even though I feed my kids before class, and let them know I will be busy, my five year old forgets, especially when she wants help with the Wii.

So online education can almost be too convenient.

However, as a graduate student, carrying a full load of classes, not having to worry about the expense of gas and an automobile, or breakdowns, or bad weather, would have been wonderful, plus I can review lectures and classes at my leisure, depending on the platform the school uses to do their broadcasting.

You can even get textbooks in electronic versions now, by the book or by the chapter. Text books are a big expense for students, and electronic versions are very helpful

The online counseling degree experience does diminish your face to face interaction with your peers, and with your professor, but I think the utility of the online process can make up for that.

True, I cannot hang out with my professor if his or her location is half way around the planet, but e-mail and online conferences can still help to build a very close and supportive professional relationship.

So my advice, give this online counseling degrees a try. You just may find yourself in a new career.

There are virtual schools to choose from, and I think every brick and mortar school is developing degree and certification programs in order to stay in business.

Can you imagine a day when State Legislatures no longer fund the bricks and mortar versions of colleges and universities?

Better get a computer hooked up quick.

"HOUSEFULL"

Director - Sajid Khan
Starring - Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone, Jiah Khan
REVIEW - At the very start of the film, Sajid Khan pays his respects to several notable names of the 1970s and 1980s, who redefined Hindi commercial cinema. And that gives you ample idea of what to expect from HOUSEFULL, which, very frankly, stresses on wholesome entertainment like those wonderful entertainers made by Manmohan Desai, Prakash Mehra, Feroz Khan, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, K. Raghavendra Rao, Narendra Bedi, Ravi Tandon and Brij. No wonder, films made by these icons have tremendous recall value even today.
The two things you expect from HOUSEFULL are non-stop laughter and non-stop entertainment. That's because the promos of the film have already given you an inkling of what to expect from this film. Besides, Sajid Khan swears by wholesome entertainers, so it's only natural to expect HOUSEFULL to bring the house down.
We loved Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra's movies because they transported us to a world of make believe, into a fantasy world, keeping us thoroughly entertained for those 3 hours. Obviously, we never questioned the logic then because we knew that entertainment was the keyword. HOUSEFULL takes the same route.
HOUSEFULL entertains majorly at places, but it's an uneven ride. Uneven, because the pace dips at several places. It's not a rip-roaring laugh-riot or a non-stop laughathon that one expects it would be, since the focus is on emotions and drama as well. Even the climax, I am sure, will meet with diverse reactions. It will have its share of advocates and adversaries.
Final word? The actors are top notch and so are their performances. Wish the script would've been equally super. Yet, despite the hiccups, HOUSEFULL should be lapped by moviegoers in a big way because the audience is starved for that solid entertainer with big stars for more than two months now.
HOUSEFULL narrates the story of Aarush [Akshay Kumar], the world's unluckiest man. Being jinxed, he believes his bad luck can vanish if he finds true love. In this quest for true love, he gets married to the daughter [Jiah Khan] of a wealthy businessman Kishore Samtani [Randhir Kapoor]. But there's a twist in the tale…
Enter Sandy [Deepika Padukone], who falls in love with Aarush. But complications follow thereafter as Sandy's brother, Major Krishna Rao [Arjun Rampal] and Hetal's [Lara Dutta] father, Batuk Patel [Boman Irani] enter the scene. How Aarush and his buddy Bob [Riteish Deshmukh] come out of this mess forms the crux of the film.
Like HEYY BABYY, HOUSEFULL has a story to tell as well. It's not merely an assemblage of funny sequences or a mere montage of comic scenes. But some of the funny sequences are sure to make you flex your facial muscles wide. Note Akshay's intro, or the sequence involving the vacuum cleaner, or Akshay getting a pet home, or the entire Chunkey Pandey track in Italy. Simply howlarious!
Sajid balances the dramatic moments well. The Jiah Khan sequence soon after the marriage is very interesting and so are the sequences in the second hour, when Arjun and also Boman land up at the mansion. The comedy of errors is truly funny at times and also the gay angle, which has been injected in this half. It may not be as memorable as the Kantaben track in KAL HO NAA HO, but is funny nonetheless. Talking of dramatic sequences, the ones between Akshay and Arjun are fantastic, especially the lie detector test, which is amongst the best sequences of the film.
Director Sajid Khan knows his fundas right. He packs just about everything to entertain you for the next two hours, but the screenplay could've been tighter. While the pacing is slow in the first hour, it's the second half which has a lot to offer. Overall, Sajid jumps into the big league of film-makers who make films for the masses and successfully at that!
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music is pleasant. Vikas Sivaraman's cinematography is top notch. The locales of Italy are mind-boggling.
Every actor in this film takes the film to the next level. Akshay underplays his part beautifully. All those who felt that the actor tends to get loud or needs to be controlled will change their opinion with this film. He's the soul of HOUSEFULL. Riteish is incredibly natural. I've often felt that Riteish is one actor who doesn't give you an impression that he's 'acting'. Though the story primarily revolves around Akshay, Riteish stands shoulder to shoulder with Akshay in this one. Arjun Rampal is fantastic. Post OM SHANTI OM and ROCK ON!!, HOUSEFULL is yet another film that taps Arjun's talent to the maximum.
Deepika is a surprise. She carries her part with amazing confidence and again, post OM SHANTI OM and LOVE AAJKAL, HOUSEFULL is the film that would make people notice her talent as well as beauty. Lara is a seasoned player when it comes to comedies and she's too good yet again. Her scenes with Riteish in particular and also with Boman are first-rate. Jiah is a revelation. Although she doesn't get much scope, she manages to register an impact nonetheless.
Randhir Kapoor is very good. Boman Irani is excellent and is amongst the driving force of the second hour. Chunkey Pandey is sure to bring the house down. He is exceptional. Lilette Dubey is competent, as always. Malaika Arora Khan is alright.
On the whole, HOUSEFULL is not a complete laugh-riot, but is an entertainer all the way, targeted at the hardcore masses. What really works for the film is its massive star cast, gripping second half and also the skilled performances by each and every member of its cast. The audience is starved for a good commercial entertainer and HOUSEFULL should bring HOUSEFULL boards back outside cineplexes.

Best Time of Month to Get Pregnant

The best time of month to get pregnant is universally known to be when a woman’s monthly cycle renders her the most fertile to conceive. The difficulty lies in determining this precise period when she is most fertile to conceive naturally.

A few simple techniques of self monitoring at home can enable a woman to get pregnant quickly. These steps will allow her to ascertain the fertile spell she is most likely to conceive naturally. These include: counting the days of her menstrual cycle, measuring basal body temperature and monitoring alterations in cervical mucous.

Amongst all the guides I have come across that teaches couples to get pregnant quickly and conceive naturally, the Pregnancy Miracle offers the most comprehensive instructions and manual. You will see numerous women exchanging their experiences in reversing their infertility, their touching stories when they made the breakthrough and became pregnant, and most importantly, the methods and system that helped them achieve what many of them thought was a hopeless cause.

The 3 straightforward techniques to verify the best time of month to get pregnant are elaborated in further detail below:

Count the Days of your Menstrual Cycle

By and large, when women ovulate, this is the best time of month to get pregnant as they are most fertile. Ovulation is the most productive time for a woman to conceive naturally.

It is easy to assume the normal criterion that ovulation takes place midway through a woman’s 28 day cycle i.e. ovulation transpiring on Day 14 of their menstrual cycle. In reality, many women’s cycles are not the average 28 days, and indeed varies from month to month. In fact, they could even have cycles of 25 days or 31 days, which increases the complexity of validating when ovulation occurs. Therefore, use the post ovulation stage of your menstrual cycle instead to calculate when you ovulate. Post ovulation phase is comparatively more regular at roughly 14 days. For instance, those with a 31 day cycle will have their ovulation just around Day 17 (31 minus 14 = 17).

Using this method will ensure you know promptly when you are ovulating and thus when your best time of month to get pregnant is, as you are most fertile to conceive then.

Measure Basal Body Temperature (BBT)

Measuring, quantifying and keeping a record of your basal body temperature is perhaps the most efficient and valuable technique of when you are most fertile to conceive naturally. If you become familiar with your BBT pattern, your best time of month to get pregnant becomes more apparent. This method is widely used and highly popular amongst women to get pregnant quickly as it does not require complex equipment.

Most women’s basal body temperature increases by up to 1.6 degrees Celsius after ovulation. Be sure to use a sensitive digital thermometer that records minor incremental changes of up to 2 decimal places to chart your BBT accurately.

To get pregnant quickly, it is absolutely necessary to follow the most stringent consistency and precision when you are charting your BBT. The temperature must be taken everyday at the same time, and should be the very first thing you do when you get up in the morning. This does mean that you need to measure your BBT even before you use the bathroom.

A few months down the line, a pattern of your BBT will emerge. This will enable to be accurately identify the days that lead up to your ovulation and hence you know when you will be most fertile to conceive naturally.

Several factors affect your BBT, such as if you fall ill, insomnia, anxiety, stress etc. Do jot down any significant exceptions in conjunction with your daily BBT. By doing so, you will appreciate and recognise any atypical rises and dips in your BBT.

Monitoring Changes and Alterations in Cervical Mucous

As a woman’s body approaches the time when she is most fertile to conceive naturally, the amount of cervical mucous discharge by the vagina increases. Other obvious changes are the colour of the mucous, which becomes more transparent and clear. The texture becomes slim-like and springy.

The appearance of such mucous indicates the best time of month to get pregnant. This type of mucous allows the sperm to be sustained over a number of days. Sexual intercourse during this period will greatly increase the possibility to get pregnant quickly.

Using the 3 indicators as described in this article is crucial to establish the best time of month to get pregnant and determining when a woman is most fertile to conceive naturally. If you only utilise one method, it is not as effective as using all 3 techniques to unequivocally enhance her chances to get pregnant quickly.

The life span of sperm cells within a woman’s body is only up to 5 days. In order to boost her likelihood to get pregnant quickly, it is advantageous to have sexual intercourse a few days before right up until ovulation day. This will create more time for the sperm to travel their way up to the vagina and wait for ovulation when the woman is most fertile to conceive.

Bow Tie Design Tips: How to Wear a Bow Tie

Here are a few bow tie design tips on how to wear a bow tie and how to choose the correct bow tie for the occasion. Most people are unaware of the vast range of different bow tie designs and styles, or of when it is most appropriate to wear each of them. People wear bow ties for many reasons, not just because they don't fall into the soup or prevent others from strangling you with them.

They look smart and unless many professionals are not wearing a bow tie they tend not to engender they respect of their peers or of others. Magicians, for example, are generally associated with bows, as frequently are doctors (they are more practical than normal neck ties), solicitors and politicians. Although the choice of bow tie style is very much a personal one, there are some rules that are best to be observed, particularly for formal occasions and when you are wearing your tie in your profession.

Weddings, proms, black and white events and other formal occasions all demand a bow tie to be worn, and the term 'black' or 'white' tie is synonymous with a bow. But which should you wear, and does the shape of your tie really make much of a difference? In fact, no, although for formal affairs the tie should be of the correct size, and not too large or small. Your collar size and the type of collar you are wearing, with both have an impact on how the tie looks on you.

Some people who have no idea how to wear a bow tie sometimes look a bit strange, particularly if the bow is not tied correctly or the tie has been wrongly sized. Larger and smaller ties can be worn less formally, but when correctly worn, one of the bow tie design tips you must accept is that the width of the bow should be approximately the same as that of your collar - perhaps slightly less. Too small and your neck will look larger than it really is, and too large will make you look like a clown. That's fine if you are being a clown, but not if you are a bridegroom or a senator.

The two major tie designs are the butterfly, or thistle, and bat-wing ties. The latter has straight sides while the former is curved, looking much like a butterfly when tied, and the two ends having the outline of a thistle before being tied. The bat-wing is the bow tie design that most people wear with a tuxedo, while less formal bow ties, including most of the novelties, are more of the butterfly shape. The butterfly tie appears larger than the bat-wing, particularly larger than the slim-line bow that many also wear.

The slim-line is a narrow 1.5 inch version of the straight or bat-wing bow tie, and many with smaller necks wear it since the standard 2.5 inch tie could make them look even smaller. The slimmer version also frequently looks more elegant with a standard shaped collar, with the standard size fitting better with a winged collar. The larger-looking butterfly also looks good with the winged collar and cut-away collar, but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter: You can wear a bow tie any way you want, and of all the bow tie design tips you can get, the best is to wear it as you feel most comfortable.

Another common design is the diamond tip, with pointed ends. This has to be tied very carefully or it will appear to have one straight end and one diamond end. That's fine if you don't want the symmetrical look, but it can sometimes look not quite right. Again, however, you are not forced to obey the rules, but in breaking them you should make sure that the event is not too formal. You will want to look good for a job interview, for example, or when talking to an important client. However, not everybody wears the bow tie in the traditional way - some don't even tie it!

Some trendies are now wearing the bow tie hanging round the neck - untied, with open collar and jacket. It was worn this way by Daniel Craig in the promo poster for Casino Royale, and seems to be catching on. Not traditional, certainly, but another take on how to wear a bow tie!

Top 5 Tips for Spring Closet Cleaning

As a professional image consultant one of the things that always amazes me is how many clothes professionals own that they never wear. Women tend to wear only 25 percent of their wardrobes, and men wear 85 percent of the clothes in their closets. That statistic indicates that women like to go shopping and buy items as an experience and an event, whereas men tend to only purchase what they need. But having all those extra clothes hanging in the closet only interferes with getting dressed in the morning. Many of my clients have confessed that before working with me they would stand in their jam-packed closets for 15 minutes or more, just wondering why they had nothing to wear.

Cleaning out a closet does take some time, but think of the time you will save by dressing faster and easier every morning. You’ll feel your best and look your best, able to start each day in a productive fashion. Clearing your closet helps to clear your schedule and your mind – along with lots of image obstacle clutter that may be standing between you and your career goals.

#1 Tip: Edit your wardrobe

Go through your closet and try everything on. Yes – everything. Stand in front of a full length mirror and be objective. Ask yourself questions like: Do I love it? Does it just skim my silhouette or is it too big or too tight? Does the color of the item flatter my complexion? Does the style flatter my body type? If I wear something else will I look better?

After you’ve gone through the analysis of the garment hanging on your body, determine whether it stays or gets deleted.

Getting rid of clothing is one of the hardest things for professionals to do because our clothes hold memories. We may want to hang onto that specific suit that we wore five years ago when we won the company appreciation award or traveled overseas to speak at a conference. I understand these urges because I, too, have to overcome that nostalgia and the voices of memory talking in my head.

The memories are awesome, but when that piece of clothing hangs in our professional wardrobe and we can’t fit into it anymore it creates a negative effect that is psychologically and emotionally detrimental. We see it and are reminded that we added unwanted pounds or don’t feel as good about our body as we used to. That’s not a good feeling, and it can drag down your confidence and image without you even realizing it.

My advice: Purge it from the closet and either give it to a charitable organization or send it to a consignment shop. When you give clothes away that you loved wearing it allows others who are less fortunate than you to feel that same joy when they wear it. Rather than bringing you down by hanging in your closet it will become a reason to feel uplifted – because you are doing something wonderful for someone in need.

If it really has sentimental value, then take a photo of it to keep before you give it away. At the very least, store it in a separate closet in a sealed garment bag. But get it out of the everyday closet where it is just cluttering up your life.

#2 Tip: If you haven’t worn in the past year, delete it.

If you haven’t worn a particular item within the past 12 months there is always a reason why. Maybe it doesn’t fit or you bought it at a clearance sale. Maybe somebody gave it to you as a gift. Regardless of why you don’t really like wearing it you need to delete it from your wardrobe inventory. Standing in the closet every morning looking at clothes you don’t love doesn’t help you feel at your best to resonate with your target audience. It’s like going on a diet and then standing there holding the door to the fridge open wishing you could make a sandwich.

Just accept the fact that it doesn’t work for you and that you deserve to look your absolute best.

Advice: If you are adamant about not tossing it yet because you are losing weight and it might fit later or because you may someday have the occasion to wear it, then tag it with the date of your semi-annual closet cleaning. Six months later, when you come back to update your closet, check the date. If you haven’t worn it by then, the expiration date is up. Retire it by giving it away without more procrastination.

#3 Tip: Is the item modern and congruent with your current brand?

I always believe that we should invest in classic-modern clothes, but clothing styles do evolve and change. You want to be on the leading edge in this new decade and dress to reflect your personal brand. Review your wardrobe and analyze each piece. Is it still modern looking? Can you add a few modern trend pieces to it and have an intentional look? Does the style, color, cut, and fabric create a visual brand image that you want to convey to your clients, prospects, or supervisor?

Advice: Today stores have tons of sales, so you can always replace core wardrobe pieces to give yourself an update. Think of your wardrobe as one of your best marketing investments to exude your brand. Spending $500-$1000 on a strategic branding of your wardrobe might be just what you need to move your business up a notch this spring and summer season.

#4 Tip: Does it still make you look impeccable?

Really look the items in your wardrobe over and see if they are in mint condition. Clothes do have an expiration date on them – they don’t last forever. Many times the cuffs on a dress shirt look worn or the elbows of a blouse become discolored. Scrutinize the item. Would you buy it today if you saw it in a consignment shop? If you wear clothes that have holes, spots, or pulled seams it damages your professional image – and no one can afford to let that happen today.

Advice: If it is something that an alterations person can fix, like a loose button or hemming a sleeve, that is one thing – but make sure that the item is worth the money it costs to repair or mend it.

#5 Tip: Does it reflect your personal style?

Last but not least, you need to determine if your personal style has stayed constant. That means are you still comfortable wearing it today as you were the day you bought it? Our personal style evolves as our lifestyles and professional lives change, and whenever you reinvent yourself you need to acknowledge it because that is a great thing worth celebrating. If we don’t change and evolve we won’t experience the kind of personal growth we need for greater success. If you don’t feel that you are really resonating with an item of clothing in terms of your internal identity and external image – or if you feel that it does not make you look and feel your absolute best – it is okay. Understand that you are changing and that some items do not ideally suit your new vision of yourself.

Advice: Make a list of anything that doesn’t resonate with you – for example, a black pantsuit. Then next time you go shopping take your list with you and focus on finding the replacement items, in newer styles that you will feel more comfortable wearing.

Closet cleaning is essential, especially nowadays. When the economy declines people think that their professional clothing requires a budget cut – when in fact your professional image, including your wardrobe, is one of your best business investments in terms of making more money over the long term. When you schedule time and take the effort to purge your wardrobe it shows that you value how you look and present yourself each and every day. Cutting out the dead wood in your closet allows you to dress faster every morning, provides you with a list of specific items you need to replace, and it boosts your personal brand and professional image by keeping those current and fresh.

Looking Great with the Right Pair of Eyeglasses and Sunglasses

Glasses have bypassed their initial function as a tool for better vision. These days, eyeglasses do more than just help you see or protect you from the bright sun—they make you look good too. You now have the convenience of choosing from so many designer brands from various fashion markets, but it always important to make sure you're best physical features are complimented and not hidden away because of the wrong choice of eyewear.

WHAT'S YOU'RE FACE SHAPE?

Choose frames based on the shape of your face. This is especially essential for everyday-use glasses. Oval-faced people can basically wear any shape of frame because they have symmetrical faces. Square-shaped faces, on the other hand, are best complimented with full-shaped frames. If you have a round face, then the frame shape for you are the rectangular ones. Avoid glasses that are too small because it will make your face look even bigger. For those with long and thin faces, it would be best to look for bolder frames which will accentuate and draw attention to your eyes.

HOW DO YOU USUALLY WEAR YOUR HAIR?

How you commonly wear your hair will also affect your options for glasses or sunglasses. If you have long hair which you normally wear loose, or there is a major feature around your face, you should look for lighter frames which will not draw attention away from your hair and create a "busy" look. If you have a short hairstyle, or if you wear your hair tied up, away from your face most of the time, you can carry off much heavier or brighter frames as your glasses can be a great accessory for a more stylish look.

YOUR SKIN TONE MATTERS

Today, rules on fashion seem to be blurred but there are still basic guidelines you can keep in mind to make sure you always make the right choice in eyewear. People with pale skin should do their best to avoid black frames. You can go for darker tones like brown or deep red. You can also go for warmer tones like gold metal frames, but do avoid silver. On the other hand, people who have darker skin tones can wear black or dark-colored frames and silver. Mix and match your glasses with your wardrobe as well. Choose a vibrant color for neutral clothes and the opposite for printed and loud-colored clothes.

The rules for sunglasses are a little more loose and flexible these days. Supersized sunglasses are worn by almost any face shape—round, thin, square, etc. Color choices for sunglass frames are also not so strict. But what you can do is choose the ones you can easily match up with the rest of your wardrobe. More importantly, invest on sunglasses that can protect your eyes from UV radiation.

Ten Top Style Tips For Professional Women

As a professional woman, first impressions count and what you wear to work will be very important in otters of your own confidence and how other judge and relate to you. You will want to look smart, organised and competent but also perhaps show a bit of your own style and who you are. Here are ten top style tips for professional women.

1. Be aware of the dress codes - many professions and firms will have strict dress codes both written and unwritten that you should adhere. You can read employee handbooks and contracts to see what the written rules are but the best way to work out the unwritten rules is to observe what others are wearing. If in doubt, it is usually best to play it safe.

2. Choose classic styles - not only do classic styles of clothing usually look more professional than high fashion pieces, they will also not go out of fashion so will be a much better investment.

3. Invest in a few key pieces - by spending a little more on a few pieces that will form the basis of your wardrobe, you can ensure a really smart working wardrobe. Spend a little more on tailored items like jackets and trousers and you can afford to buy less expensive blouses and tops.

4. Aim for the perfect fit - One of the most important aspects of your work wear wardrobe is how well it fits. It is well worth employing the services of a tailor to alter any items that do not fit perfectly.

5. Pick colours that suit - although dress codes may limit the colours that you can wear, you may be able to add a few colourful accessories. Work out which are your best colours and stick to these to give yourself a complexion that glows.

6. Avoid revealing clothes - for almost ever professional work place, very short skirts and low cut tops will not be accepted. For some even sleeveless tops or dresses are considered inappropriate. These sorts of clothes are best kept for outside of work where they will not draw attention away from the fantastic work that you are doing.

7. Opt for practicality and comfort - choosing clothes that you feel happy and comfortable in is key to feeling confident. They should not only look good but also be easy and comfortable to wear. Some of the key things to consider is how easily and comfortably you can walk in shoes, whether you will be to hot or cold and whether waistbands are too tight.

8. It's all in the detail - people will notice those little things about you like how clean your shoes are, how well pressed your shirt is. Paying attention to those details says a lot about how you work.

9. Get organised - looking stylish is all about being organised and making sure that you have the right clothes accessories available to wear each day. A large stylish multipurpose handbag is a great way to carry your belongings including a laptop and paperwork.

10. Pay attention to your whole self - looking stylish is not just about how you look on the outside; it is also about how you feel on the inside. However busy you are you should make sure that you find time to look after yourself and your health. A balanced happy person will always look so much more stylish than a drained or stressed person.

Why Sex Is Important To Men

I know, I know some would say that what a ridiculous statement, of course it is important to men but why? Some say that they think about it twenty three hours a day, seven days a week. Even the most famous psychologist, Freud agreed that it is the main goal of men- to get sex when they need it.

To them it signifies power and success. To majority of them money, power and success is futile if you can’t get it. Some would deny it and say “no, it is not everything. It’s not my end all and be all motivation” if you are one of these male population, then good for you, you are a minority, believe me.

One proof of this is the ever thriving sex trade, right? It is the oldest trade in history and it only advances as the years go by. They say the weakness of men is women but I say their weakness is what women can offer and it is sex. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that men are shallow creatures.

On the contrary, I believe that this creates a balance in the universe. Sex is important to men because of so many reasons. Aside that it really feels great. It has to do with the old age inculcation that they should spread their seeds and genes as much as they can for the survival of the species.

During the old days men have several wives. As a matter of fact, even today in some countries, concubines and mistresses are an acceptable practice to multiply the man’s gene pool. In this case sex is important for the continued existence of the species. On a personal note, I don’t feel comfortable with this idea at all.

It makes human beings no less than bears and dogs, if you know what I mean. Another reason why sex is important to men is because of their biological make up. They have more testosterone than women. Testosterone is responsible for the sexual drive of a person, the more the testosterone the more sexually driven the person is.

This is why they have an inborn need for it. Another point why sex is important to men is because it’s the only way for them to communicate their feelings. Deprive them of it and you deprive their feelings and their being. Sex is to men and listening is to women.

If you’re a woman and your husband never listens to you, what do you do? You call your girlfriend or whoever you want to listen to you, right? For men, deprive them of sex and he will look for it somewhere else. It’s not just a biological need for them.

It’s also an emotional need- this is one of the major ways that you can make him feel that he belongs. Sex is important because it’s the only way that they can get their “power”. If you’re a wife and have been married for quite some time, change your point of view about it, if you want your husband to feel good and accepted and become productive at work, never deprive him of it.

Communicate to him through his language he is very familiar with. When making love, use more touches and caresses and kisses, embrace him more. In your love making make him feel that he is accepted and truly loved and cared for. Make it intimate and make it fun, listen to him when he makes love because if you listen to him inside the bedroom he will listen to you outside the bedroom.
