People in the past had an interesting way of memory preservation. The days of the caveman saw memories being imprinted as carvings and drawings on walls. The 15the century man had similar methods coupled with writing on their journals and diaries. As the years progressed, the methods became more polished and easier to apply. Fast forward to the new millennium and things have advanced phenomenally.
You look around you and technology rules with an iron fist. You have so many tools already in place that can help you preserve the special memory in time such as the digital camera, the camcorder, and the digital voice recorder. Life is good wouldn't you say? In addition, we have another tool which has immensely helped people in their scrapbooking needs. This tool is the cricut machine.
Iron Man
The cricut machine is any scrap bookers most trusted friend and ally. Scrapbooking goes hand in hand with pictures. Back in the early 19th century, the creation of scrapbooks was a very intricate task and people respected the process. With the boom in technology, things are now much easier to accomplish thanks to many tools that are readily available now such as the cricut cutting machine.
An Introduction to the Cricut Machine
What does a cricut cutting machine do exactly? The cricut is responsible for the printing of designs that can be used for your scrapbook. When the concept of creating a scrapbook is still in its early stages, we think of the theme for it. Let's take the example a wedding.
The kind of design that you should come up with must be something that recreate the atmosphere of the wedding and let the viewer travel back in time and relive what transpired during that event. The cricut along with a computer and software tool called the Cricut design studio can help you achieve that. In addition, you can also edit designs that you think would suit your scrapbook needs and so much more.
The cricut machine is not exactly the cheapest.
One unit is about on the 0 price range and that exactly is not the friendliest price. In order to get the best on pricing, you can always do quick searches on the internet such as eBay and other related sites. You can also but at mall sales if online buying scares you to some extent. Remember, it all about looking and being patient at the same time. Happy scrapbook making!

If you have met your dream girl and it is time to pop up the question in a traditional way, which usually takes a woman's breath away, you had better have your engagement ring ready.
Nowadays, couples decide on various engagement ring designs and then venture down to their favorite jeweler with their chosen design. Previously, engagement rings were just crude bands that were very simple and made of iron. Today, the engagement rings are made of gold or platinum and are still regarded as symbolic of the union of two people.
Iron Man
An engagement is a ceremony that declares a man's love for a woman and is performed in a traditional way where he gives his beloved a ring, which is of great sentimental value to declare his wish to make her his companion for life. If the woman accepts the ring then it signifies that she too wishes to marry him and then the ceremony is considered legally binding.
A Man's Guide To Engagement Rings
What better way to show love than by the act of giving or receiving a band or a diamond engagement ring! Nowadays, designing rings has become a delight for every jeweler. Size of the diamond does not necessarily make the ring a popular choice, rather the combination of the ring and the woman it is associated with adds to the sparkle.
It is nice to share love with a person whom you care for and the engagement is an important occasion. It is a commitment leading towards a new life and the beginning of a journey.
Tips to choose the right engagement ring
Before you plan to select a ring, you need to understand some basic points like:
Your partner's ring size
Her preference of material base
Style preference
Jeweler preference
You should find out her taste and preference and keep her lifestyle in mind. If she prefers simple designs then probably you should buy a diamond solitaire that may be appropriate rather than going in for some jazzy design that flaunts a cluster of gems. Be sure to buy the engagement ring from her chosen jeweler, as he would know her taste and style. If she has ever expressed her choice while courting, then try to remember it to impress her.
The ring you choose for your chosen one should always reflect your personality and she should love to wear it always, as it represents your love and care. Once you decide on the style, be sure to determine how much you need to shell out and arrange for it.
Traditionally, a man is expected to shell out at least two months salary for the engagement ring, so that the young woman's family appreciates the conscious effort. Before you go about buying the ring, consider offers given by jewelers, as this is more essential if you are buying a diamond ring.
You should always ask for a guarantee so that the stone is genuine. Make sure that the base metal is properly hallmarked and that the diamonds carry certificates. Once you are through with all this, then what remains is to find a perfect moment to present the perfect symbol of love!

Wow! You decided to ask your best bud to be a groomsman. Tradition demands the groom to prepare gifts to his best man and ushers as a thank you for attending and as mementos of the big day. Still you wonder, what to give? You want your offerings to relate to your relationship with your spouse or to your bond with your groomsmen. Following, we give you myriad wonderful options for your groomsmen.
You can impress your groomsmen with presents to help them look their best, both on the big occasion and in the future. Engraved collar stays or tie pins are personal and unusual ideas. Cufflinks come in a wide variety of possibilities, and always classic silver or onyx. In addition, tie and hanky sets look sharp with the wedding attire and with everyday suits.
Iron Man
Maybe your group would like practical gifts more. Many homes could benefit from an mp3 player docking station to get rid of the clutter of power cords and sort out electronic devices. Etched glass coasters can be engraved or can bring to mind a memorable moment in your friendship. Coffee mugs or bartending sets are options most men would find useful, as are watches or alarms.
Wedding Gifts the Groomsmen Will Appreciate
For those of your group with a passion for sports and games, the possibilities are endless. Dart boards and strong darts are good to have in any "man cave". A complete poker set goes a long way to ensure you can enjoy a seat at the weekly poker night long after your marriage day. Detailed puzzles and group games can offer a challenge, as can chess and Chinese checker sets. Another interactive game may be a blast for your more social friends. It could be a drinking game, or a more adult-oriented game set. Today, as older stadiums are torn down, a lot of souvenirs are made from the debris, including tie clips and money holders. If your friends are fans of a specific team, a keepsake made from something used by that team would always be cherished. Golf tees or golf balls would certainly be appreciated, as would a miniature putting set.
So you plan to give identical gifts, but your gift recipients are a diverse group. Not to worry!. Engraved key chains are something no guy can resist. Swiss army knives generally are a big hit. Small flasks, nice pens and money clips make elegant gifts as well. Coffee mugs suit almost any recipient.
Simply put, think about what you and your friends do together. Are you cigar aficionados? A good humidor or cigar clippers would be just the thing. Do you all really get into a weekend barbeque? Think about giving grilling sets or a personalized branding iron. Do your groomsmen consider themselves "handymen"? A multi-tool set or basic ratchet set would be a thoughtful gift. Bartender guides, golf shirts, baseball gloves, the options are limited only by your imagination. Whatever you pick out to offer to your groomsmen, don't forget to say "thank you" for their support on your special day.

If you listen to single women, a lot of times you will hear them say things like, "All I want is a nice guy." Is there any truth in this statement?
Well, I'm not psychic and I'm not a woman so I can't really speak for everyone... However, from my education in the School of Hard Knocks, such things aren't really true. No matter how idyllic and charming they seem.
Iron Man
Such statements are more of a cliche that women say when they are in-between boyfriends. Sort of a way of feeling sorry for themselves and trying to convince themselves of what they really should want; but in reality it is something they secretly don't want.
Do Women Really Just Want a Nice Guy, Or Do They Want a Nice Guy With a Big Penis?
Men are the same way. Single guys who are frustrated will tell you that all they want is to meet a nice decent girl, settle down, and raise a family.
Really? Does anyone actually believe that? Most men want a sex-bomb supermodel who pole dances on the weekend, can stop traffic, and we won't even begin to go into her card catalogue of sexual tricks. Sure, we all want a nice girl or a nice guy; but the reality is that it's probably one of the last things we truly desire. Most of us secretly want a little bit of good and evil... It makes things interesting.
What do the say men truly want in a woman? The Three M's. That is: A Mistress, a Maid, and a Mother. Hey, don't hold this against me, I didn't make it up. This saying has been around for years. If one thinks about it, it certainly seems quite appropriate. However, as always, your mileage may vary.
But let's talk about penis enlargement. Men who may have a smaller penis may get sucked into the notion that women just truly want a nice guy, even if he has a small penis. However, polls and interviews with women have proven to state that this isn't really the case. Women are more apt to go out with a man of average looks with a large penis than a man who is super-good looking who has an average or small penis. So... Who's fooling who?
The fact is that most women dig a man who has a large penis. It's not so hard to understand. A few things separate a man and woman anatomically from one another. The main difference is their sexual organs. So a man with a large penis will represent, for most women, a man who is actually more "manly." It's no different than a man being attracted to a woman who has large breasts, as this presents her as being more "womanly." Biologically speaking, too, as larger breasts infer that she has more mothering and nurturing abilities. Just as a large penis biologically infers that he will have a better chance of inseminating her and getting her pregnant.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a nice guy. But, sadly, they do seem to wind up finishing in last place. One way to be a nice guy and ensure your magnetism is by enlarging your penis. This sets you apart from other men because of your increased masculine presence and being a nice guy, too.... Well, that's really the icing on the cake!
Men who aspire to enlarge their penises to get the upper hand in relationships with the opposite (or even same) sex are in the right place at the right time. Twenty years ago it was almost impossible to find information on penis enlargement. Thanks to the paradigm shift in sexual views and the age of the Internet, men now have access to information that your father never had access to. The time is of the essence, so to speak. If you want to stand out from the crowd, then do your research/homework and learn what is the best method to enlarge yourself. We have found, through our personal research and experimentation, that Natural Penis Enlargement is the way to go if you truly want to enlarge your penis in an effective and safe way. This method uses simple and basic exercises (most which one can do with their own hands) to stretch, pull, and squeeze the penis to larger and more dynamic sizes.
Men who are interested in such techniques are advised to read the book, Iron Man Penis - The Russian System to help prove that a nice guy with a large penis offers the best of both worlds and all that is in between.
Sincerely,
Georg von Neumann

It is innate in man to desire for beauty. Some may say they really do not care about how they look, but certain actions can clearly say that they do. Even if it is not as extreme has having you face slathered with makeup at all times, the mere fact of taking a bath, rummaging through your closet to look for the best outfit, and looking at the mirror before leaving the house is enough to say you want to look good when you leave the house. There is nothing wrong with it. Actually, it is even better when you meet people and look clean, presentable and lovely, just as long as you do not look exaggerated.
Since most of us really are aiming for that look, take these simple tips on how to ensure looking your best everyday:
Iron Man
1. Sleep well the night before. Lack of sleep makes your face look tired the next day.
2. Eat healthy food at all times to ensure you have a healthy looking body and to maintain the right state of mind. Never miss a meal in a day.
3. Style your hair. It does not matter whether you use hair solutions or hair straighteners. Just as long as you keep it nice and neat, you are good to go.
4. Do take a shower to be clean at all times. You can be born looking naturally beautiful. However, what good is your beauty if you stink?
5. Wear your clothes properly and make sure they are wrinkle free. Also, check your clothing before deciding to wear them. They might have stains that can look very untidy.
6. Do wear make up. Make sure it matches what you are wearing. As much as possible, do wear light makeup in the day.
7. Brush you teeth before you leave home and if you are anticipating a conversation with colleagues.
8. Walk with confidence and a smile on your face. People who are in a happy disposition can be very attractive.
9. Always practice grace under pressure. No matter how difficult things may be at work, keep your composure and maintain your poise.
10. Take time to relax no matter what kind of activity you are doing. If you do not know how to take a break, you can get burnt out. As much as possible you need to handle the many stresses of your job or in school. Take time to retouch your face with make up or restyle your hair with your hair straighteners, grab a coffee or just sit still and take deep breaths. Do anything that can temporarily disconnect you with what is causing the pressure.
Your Practical Guide on How to Look Good Everyday - Top Ten Tips You Can Apply
Looking beautiful or presentable everyday is really easy. All you need is proper management of yourself. On top of that, you do not have to have a very high IQ to figure out how to take care of yourself. If you are intelligent enough to understand the intricacies of your job then you can also do well in understanding practical means on how to care for yourself.

You know what's an ironic thing about picking up women, and men's outlook on it? Clubs and bars have got to be the easiest place in the world to pick up women. But at the same time, its the place where guys fail the hardest. How can this be the case? The reason for this is that most guys don't understand WHY clubs and bars are such a great place to meet girls and pick them up.
You see, the REAL reason why these places are so great is that they are a social event. Its like meeting a girl at a friend's birthday party, its a lot less intimidating then walking across the street and saying hi. But the reason men miss this is because they're so busy glorifying the club. They walk in, ogle the sexily dressed women and think "oh wow, I gotta have her!". That's what screws you up man! That's what makes you come across as creepy and have women instantly shut you down. They don't shut you down because they're mean people. No, in fact, if a guy approached you in the street the way guys approach girls in clubs, you'd brush him off too. They literally look all creepy, and like they're about to attack or rob the woman. Either that, or they act all hyper and try to say funny and interesting things in a rapid fashion and bombard her...
Iron Man
In a nutshell, they don't act NORMAL
How to Pick Up Women in Bars & Pick Up Girls in Clubs
These guys act... Weird. Just simply weird. The greatest trick I've found in studying guys who do wonders in this clubs environment is their mindset. I mean they come in all shapes and sizes. Short, young, old, ugly, model-handsome and just plain average. What they all have in common though is how they act. They act as if its their best friend's birthday party!
I know this sounds all new-agey to you, but bare with me. If you convince yourself its just a social event with acquaintances, you'll act normal. You'll act your most attractive, real self. And your real self is what women are attracted to. Don't be sucked into fancy gimmicks online that sell you ways to appear different by saying and doing contrived things. You don't need any of these things if you just get yourself right.
Those guys will tell you that in order to pick up women you have to be different than a normal guy. You're not supposed to ask normal questions like "how are you" or "where do you study" and all that. Well that is true... for THEM. Its only true for them because their hunter-vibe is so apparent that the only way they can prevent a girl from shutting them out - is entertaining her.
Let me ask you something... Has a woman ever shut you out and turned her back on you at a private party or in class? Like if you start talking to a girl in Yoga Class, does she do that? Does it matter what you say? Heck, you can ask the most usual thing like how did you like the cass, or when did you signup. She's still going to be super-attracted to you if you're charming.
Well, the same thing happens to me when picking up girls in bars and clubs. I do ask the most usual, most non-special questions and topics, and I get better results than most "gurus" online. The reason is that my mindset is right. I'm treating her as if I've known her for years, or seen her around.
So how do you cause attraction then?
The question is how do you then go from approaching her, and charming her, to taking her home? Its simple really, too simple for guys to want to know the real answer. Just the fact that you're confident enough to approach her, and be so normal and casual blows her mind. Every other guys is either creepy, scared, horny or a wannabe-sleazy-playa... and as of late, maybe a PUA-kiddie. Just you being confident enough to be normal, charming and charismatic blows her attraction through the roof. You're confident enough to not have to do anything to attract her, and that's hot.
As you two are talking, and you keep meeting women around her, and introducing yourself to other people in the club, she'll get more and more interested. The best thing to grow her sexual attraction is not some elaborate technique. Its simply being the most social guy in the place. If you continually leave her to go greet other hot girls, and meet other folks, she'll go mad with desire. In fact, she's guaranteed to start hitting on your or trying to get your attention. This is where you tease her about it, as you continue being social and meeting other folks. You're basically going from one group to another, and just doing this with several girls at once.
When she really ramps up the interest, you just ask her if she's coming home with you or not. In a casual, nonchalant way. Mind you, this is while you're working on 10 other super-hot women at the same time, who all are driven mad by now. You don't care which one says yes, because from the 10, one is sure to say yes, so its jut a formality. You don't care which one it is. You're like whatever "are you the one coming home?", knowing full well you got 9 others waiting on you.

There's an old "occult" trick called the "Quarter Trick" that has been used to develop occult abilities. How does this relate to Penis Enlargement?
First of all, the word "occult" simply means "hidden" or not accessible or much-interesting to the general public. "Occult" teachings aren't evil or Satanic, per se; though there are some evil sides to some branches of certain occult teachings. The "Quarter Trick" is simply a European-Occultist technique on how to develop and train yourself to get what you want out of life - No matter what it is.
Iron Man
The Quarter Trick has to do with re-wiring your mind to look (and find) something that you are not aware of. Once you become aware of its existence, then it is easy to find. You do begin to do this, unconsciously, through a conscious frame-of-mind, to find what you are looking for.
The Occult "Quarter Trick" & Penis Enlargement
For this method, you tell yourself that there are coins to be found all over the place. You realize that they slip out of people's pockets when they get their keys out, that they fall through their pockets if they have holes in their pockets, that people toss away coins that they feel have little value, and so on...
So one starts to tell themselves that they will start to find these coins. As you go out for a leisure walk, walk to your car, walk to the bus-stop, walk in a parking lot, walk around in a park, and the myriad of places you may visit during the day; you want to be aware of all of these coins laying about. And as you know these coins are all over the place, you will begin to see them on your journeys.
The thing of it is, if you are not looking for the coins; and if you don't know the coins are out there, you will never find them. Once you start to re-program your mind to realize the existence of these coins... Well, they just start popping up all over the place. If you really get into the technique, you can't hardly go anywhere without finding these coins.
(Important note: If you find a coin, no matter if it is even a penny, pick it up. By not picking up the coin, you reinforce to your unconscious mind that you do not need money. Well, maybe you don't... But the point is, if you are given such a gift, accept it, no matter the value of it. This allows your mind to continually be open to the prospect of finding these coins and increasing your wealth and the continual abundance of wealth to come your way.)
So, you're probably wondering: "What does this have to do with penis enlargement?"
Well, the answer is simple: You can't find something you are not looking for. If you are serious about penis enlargement and want to increase your size, you must be constantly working at it and striving to find the answer which will enlarge your penis. Re-programming your mind to realize that penis enlargement is a reality and that you can not only find the answers to your enlargement questions; but that you can also utilize these techniques will allow you to actually "find" a method of enlarging yourself. But if you do not "know" what it is that you are looking for, you're likely to never find it.
There are many options in penis enlargement. Sort of like the Quarter Trick. You can tell yourself that you are going to walk in the park today and find a treasure chest full of gold. Of course, there is an extremely slim chance that you will find a treasure chest, but chances are you won't. You have to be down-to-earth in your desires and realize that you can find the probable or possible, but hardly the improbable or impossible.
The same point-of-view lies in penis enlargement. If you think that you are going to find a magic pill or patch that will give you five inches in a week's time, without any work or effort on your part; well, it's probable that you won't find that magical potion that will enlarge your penis.
But if you take a logical and realistic approach, and realize that there are methods of penis enlargement that give tangible results; then knowing this will allow you to take advantage of these hidden treasures.
Our experience shows us that enlarging oneself through natural penis exercises actually works and provides real results. Do your homework and explore this method of enlargement. Once you see the data and experiences that other men have had, then consider them your coins on the street. Now that you know they exist, you will be able to find them; then by utilizing them, you will be able to enlarge yourself without the disappointment of methods that do not give any worthwhile results.

There are many ways to raise money for charities that can not only help you reach your target, but also be a lot of fun as well! Whether you need the funds to support an orphanage in Africa, money to aid a recognized charity or even if its for a local community project, raising funds does not need to be hard.
In this article you will find a list of activities to organize for sponsorship that will spread awareness and can be a lot of fun. The list below will hopefully get your creative side thinking.
Iron Man
Activities and fun events:
Fun Ways to Raise Money For Charity
Bag packing - Get in touch with your local supermarket (via an email, telephone call or better yet, in person). Explain your cause and see if it is possible to arrange a date and time where you and 6-20 other people can pack shoppers bags (at the shoppers request) and ask for a donation from the shoppers. I did this one afternoon with 11 people and made over 1600. Its simple and raises awareness with your community. Face Painting - Got an artistic side? Any big sporting or local family events coming up? If so face painting can be a really fun way to raise some extra funds. You can find face painting kits at almost any party shop, and if you have never done it before you can simply practice on each other. Sponsored Athletic Challenge - Can you see yourself running a marathon? If not do not worry, it is not necessary to do something this extreme in order to raise money. Simply choose a challenge that is a little outside of your comfort zone. The whole point of this is that its a challenge, so if your a top athlete try something hard but if you are no Iron Man then do something appropriate to your fitness level. If worried, consult a doctor before you attempt any too strenuous! Barbeque - Host a barbeque for your family, friends and neighbors. This can be a really fun day and need not be expensive. Ask everyone for a donation upon arrival and provide them with some pop and food. You could even ask the local butcher or supermarket to donate provisions for the event or maybe even just a discount on your purchase. On a sunny day this can be a very fun day that helps your fund grow. There are literally hundreds of personal challenges you can do to get sponsorship, whether its skydiving for the first time, shaving your head, waxing your chest (for men!), or letting people throw a cream pie in your face! Remember to not only ask friends and family for sponsorship, but also local businesses. Spread the word as far as you can.

In today's modern culture wherein Paris Hilton is the goddess and the abs of Usher are every man's goal, more and more people are into dieting. Unfortunately, a lot still fall into the diet myth trap out of their desire and eagerness to fit into a size 2.
The worse thing though is not only the fact that these myths are widespread, but that these diet myths, when practiced, have adverse effects on the body.
Iron Man
1. FAT is the enemy.
Demystifying Diet Myths
Majority of the population firmly believes that the reason people grow obese is that they consume fat. However, this is not entirely true.
People grow overweight because they consume too much calories and cholesterol that are not burned up due to inadequate physical activities such as exercise. There are different types of fat and some are essential to the body. In fact, blood cholesterol is essential in the build up of cells and the production of vital hormones. Ideally, a third of the calories must be derived from fat. One must distinguish between the good and the bad cholesterol. Remember, cut down on saturated fats and opt for unsaturated fats such as avocados and olive oil.
2. Skip meals to lose weight.
When you skip meals, you do not get away with acquiring more calories. On the contrary, studies show that people who skip meals become more obese. This is because skipping meals makes one feel hungrier later on and the appetite out of control, thus eating more than the normal servings.
3. Crash dieting is an effective and fast way of losing weight.
Nutrition scientists explain that crash dieting is not only unsustainable but have drastic effects on the body. Crash dieting not only burns off fat, but tissues and lean muscles as well. In addition, crash dieters often feel weak and dizzy.
4. Don't eat meals beyond 8 PM.
Food eaten late at night is no more fattening than the rest of the unhealthy food eaten during the rest of the day. It is not true that the body will store more fat during evenings because it is at rest. What makes a person obese is not about the time he or she eats, but the overall amount of calories consumed in a day.
5. Quitting smoking will make you gain weight.
Quitting smoking has nothing to do with weight gain. Some people gain weight when they quit smoking because they turn to comfort food to distract themselves from oral fixation. Instead of turning to comfort food, quitters should instead chew sugar-free gums or eat vegetable strips.
6. Starches are fattening and should be avoided.
Starchy food such as bread, pasta, beans, cereals, fruits, beans and vegetables such as yams and potatoes are actually low in calories and fat. However, these food are often served with high-fat toppings and rich sauces such as sour cream, butter, mayonnaise and dressings. Starchy food should not be entirely eliminated from the diet because they are sources of energy.
7. Nuts must be avoided because these are fattening.
Although nuts are high in fact and calories, these should not be entirely eliminated entirely from the diet. Nuts are rich sources of monounsaturates which are good for the heart. Nuts help keep the blood sugar levels steady.
In addition, nuts are rich in fiber, protein and other vitamins and minerals.
8. Eating vegetables can't build muscle.
Vegetarians can build muscles in as much as the meat-eaters because they get their protein from plant sources such as tofu, nuts and grains.
9. Dairy products are unhealthy.
Dairy products are needed by the body because they contain many nutrients such as protein, Vitamin D and calcium. Choose low-fat and fat-free milk, cheese and yogurt. These are as healthy as whole milk dairy products, but are lower in calories and fat.
10. Stay away from red meat.
One need not stay away from red meat in order to lose weight. Although red meat do contain cholesterol and saturated fat, they also contain nutrients such as zinc, iron and protein.
Instead, choose lean meats and eat them in moderation. Opt for low-fat meat cuts such as flank steak, tenderloin, sirloin tip, pork tenderloin, beef round steak and extra lean ground beef. Serving size should only be three ounces.
Remember, losing weight is not an overnight process. Don't rush. Instead, take it slowly and surely for a manageable and sustainable weight loss program.

You try and try to pick up on some of the beautiful babes with absolutely no luck. Well what would you think if I told you that can be a thing of the past for you forever. You just need to know how to arouse the most important female sex organ on the whole-body.

It's what's between the ears. Language and specifically what you say to a woman is what really arouses and seduces her. What is really the kicker is that if you talked to your buddies like this they would razz you forever and think you were a imbecile. This woman's language we could say is just a very different dialect of how you already know how to speak. It's really easy to learn to boot.
But I'm not going to try to convince you of his myself, so here's some scientific research that backs up the language theory. They MRI'd (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) the brains of both men and women as they listened to language.
Do you think they found any differences?
Absolutely, they discovered that women utilize both hemispheres of their brain to process information. The fact that women use both sides of their brain when processing words means the words are not only analyzed logically, but emotionally as well. A woman will feel words emotionally.
Guys on the other hand, process words with only the logically side of their brain. Men see a woman and get aroused. Since women get aroused by language, her experience will be imagining the man he sees. The words that describe the sexy man or the experience goes a lot farther than just seeing the man.
If you think about it, why are romance novels exclusively read by women. Words in that book will excite and arouse a woman so much more than just seeing.
So to summarize:
Men and women are completely different in how they analyze and process words.
Men and women also process emotions in completely different ways.
Language for women cause very powerful emotions.
When you use language in the right way, you can arouse and excite women all the time.
Take the challenge and learn the language of a woman. I tell you if you do this, you'll always have a woman period.

As we grow older, it is natural that our testosterone level declines. Coupled with daily work stress, many men experience some form of low sex drive, temporary impotence or some level of erectile dysfunction. It can be physical or emotional causes but the bottom line is that we will not enjoy our love-making session like the way we use to.
Here are seven effective tips on how a 50 year-old man can unleash his masculine power and become like a 20 year-old man during love-making...
Iron Man
Tip #1: Aromatherapy - Jasmine is known for its aphrodisiac properties. Use jasmine oil or essence in your room when you make love or soak in a handkerchief and inhale.

Tip #2: Using magnets. A few hours before love-making, place a magnet at your sacral chakra point. Stick the magnet to your body using masking tape or surgical tape or plaster. The sacral chakra is situated about 2 inches below your navel. If you place the magnet overnight, you may get a morning erection the following day. This shows that blood circulation has indeed occurred in your body.
During love-making, you can attach two magnets at your back or kidney areas. Great way to prevent back ache.
Tip #3: Drink guinness stout (black beer) with raw egg. In Asia, this is a popular concoction. Break a raw chicken egg in your cup with stout, stir and drink.
Tip #4: Yoga exercises. There are various poses to increase your blood circulation for the targeted areas like your groin and back. Two popular poses are the cobra pose and the easy bridge pose. Very briefly, cobra pose is when you arch backwards. Legs and buttock on the floor. Bridge pose is when your buttocks are lifted up. Head and shoulder on the floor. Warning: do not perform them if you do not know what I am talking.
Tip #5: If you are a crystal lover, this if for you...Fluorite rekindles libido. Jasper prolongs sexual pleasure and pink tourmaline has aphrodisiac properties.
Tip #6: Minimize or quit smoking and minimize drinking alcohol. This is common knowledge but often neglected
Tip#7: Using Chinese herbs. This is my favorite as it is fast acting and may last many hours. You don't have to know if your failure to achieve peak performance is due to physical or emotional causes.Just try them. There are many commercially available herbs and you just have to try out a few to find your favorite formula.
As a precaution, always consult your doctor if in doubt.

The title of the book comes from the words of Lakota holy man Lame Deer:
We had no word for the strange animal we got from the white man--the horse. So we called it sunka waken, "holy dog." For bringing us the horse we could almost forgive you for bringing us whiskey. Horses make a landscape look more beautiful.
Iron Man
Horses Make a Landscape More Beautiful is a slim volume of poetry written by the remarkable writer/activist Alice Walker. The work is a powerful collection of poems that are raw, honest, and celebrate the capacity to celebrate life and stand up against injustice and abuse.
Horses Make A Landscape More Beautiful
Horses do indeed make the landscape more beautiful. It is a joy just to watch them grazing and in communion with the land--and with their herd.This quote is poignant because of course alcoholism has wreaked so much long-lasting devastation on the Native American people. European settlers, including my own ancestors, also brought other diseases, violence, and the forced removal of native peoples from their tribal lands. Yet, amidst this devastation, Lame Deer honors the return of the horse to the Americas, saying that it was almost worth it.
"Holy Dog" Comes Home
Curiously, we know that Eohippus, or Dawn Horse, the ancestor of the modern horse, lived some 58 million years ago. The horse is one of the few Ice Age animals still surviving today, and originated in the forests and swamplands of North America. Especially prevalent in the Great Plains, Eohippus was only about 14 inches tall. More dog-like than horse-like, E.M. Ensminger describes Eohippus as "a small graceful animal, scarcely more than a foot high with a slender face, an arched back, short neck, slender legs and a long tail, adapted for living in swamps."
Amazing Adaptation
As swamplands dried up 18 million years ago, Eohippus adapted by developing a longer neck for grasslands, a single toe or hoof, longer legs, and eyes with almost 360˚ vision to detect predators. The ability to change food as tall grasses replaced the swamp habitat further enabled the horse to survive. Other large animals surviving the Ice Age and drastic climate changes died out because they were only able to eat certain foods that became unavailable.
Evidence suggests that descendants of Eohippus crossed the land bridge from the Great Plains to Europe and Asia. By 10,000 years ago, horses had disappeared from the United States. Ironically, the descendant of the horse that died out in the Americas was returned to the home of its ancestors by the conquistadors and European invasions.
Sacred Companion
The Lakota use of "Holy Dog" to refer to horses is an interesting one, especially since its ancestor Eohippus was similar in size to a dog. Holy captures the other-worldly or spiritual nature of the horse, while dog confers the special relationship of companion. The words "Holy" and "Dog," when put together become a sacred companion.
Is Beauty Enough?
Lame Deer speaks of the beauty of horses and how they enhance the landscape. Approximately fifty years ago, horses lost their jobs in transportation, agriculture, and the military in the western world. Today it is expensive and time-consuming to care for horses that are no longer of "practical" use on the farm, for transportation, or in making warfare. Yet, more and more women are becoming owners and riders of horses. Is the beauty of the horses enough to ensure their care and survival, in a culture that values youth, productivity, and usefulness?
Hundreds of thousands of women are voting "yes" with their dollars, their time and their love of horses. Perhaps they are seeking a Holy Dog, a sacred companion to accompany then on life's journeys.

Apocalypse Now was the first and still, arguably, the best film to take place in the midst of the war itself, shot shortly after its ending in the mid-'70s and released on the brink of the Reagan era in 1979. Inspired by Joseph Conrad's 1899 novella Heart of Darkness, Coppola and screenwriter John Milius supplant the metaphorical journey of its central character from 1890s Africa to the Southeast Asian jungle of the 1960s. Intimately tied to this shift in viewpoint is that, while Heart of Darkness's narrator, Charlie Marlowe, begins as a sane and stable man who faces madness and the inherent evil of mankind in the form of Mister Kurtz, Apocalypse Now's narrator, Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen), has already been driven at least to the verge of madness by his previous Vietnam experience before the beginning of the film. This change of perspective suggests that morality and sanity had become much more tentative and ambiguous in the time of the Vietnam War.
Iron Man
At the 1979 Cannes Film Festival premiere of the film, Coppola stated that "My film is not about Vietnam; my film is Vietnam." We are thrust into a world of madness with no moral center, an apt vision of conditions in the Vietnam War. This intention is evidenced not only by the chaotic and violent nature of the entire film, but also in the decision to make the story's narrator a madman, thereby depriving the viewer of a more traditionally relatable gateway into the film's story.
The Art Of Darkness - Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket
Just as the film itself "is Vietnam" in macrocosm, three of its central characters also are Vietnam in microcosm: Willard, Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) and Captain Kilgore (Robert Duvall). Willard has been in the jungle so much it has become who he is; in the film, he says of Vietnam: "When I was here I wanted to be there. When I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle." Kurtz and Kilgore are two sides of the same coin, the soldier gone mad from the madness of war. Kilgore is the joyful madman who revels in battle ("I love the smell of napalm in the morning," he says in one of the film's most famous scenes. "Smells like victory") and has managed to keep a tenable position in the military despite randomly decimating entire villages, to the tune of Richard Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries," for the sole purpose of clearing a neighboring beach so that he and his men can go surfing. Critic Michael Wood, in his article "Bangs and Whispers" from the October 1979 New York Review of Books, asserts that Kilgore should have been the Kurtz figure of the film, a man so flamboyantly insane that he provides a clear counterpoint to Sheen's Willard, but the closer similarities between Willard and Brando's Kurtz hint at a metaphorical journey of Willard into himself, into the darkest reaches of his own soul, that echoes his literal journey downriver to Kurtz's lair. When he completes his assignment by killing Kurtz, he has perhaps silenced the encroaching darkness in his own heart.
Apocalypse Now's overall vision of madness - from Willard to Kilgore to Kurtz, along with fascinating side characters such as Sam Bottoms's LSD-abusing surfer/soldier and Dennis Hopper's fanatical photojournalist - paints a disturbing picture not only of the Vietnam experience, but of all humanity in a world that made the atrocities of Vietnam possible. As Coppola himself says about the making of the film in Fax Bahr, George Hickenlooper and Eleanor Coppola's 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, "We were out there with too much equipment, too much money and too much time... and we all went a little insane," which can be seen as an astute criticism of America's position in the war itself. Ultimately, Apocalypse Now is more than merely a war film, which may be why many critics consider it the best war film ever made, and perhaps even the greatest American film of any kind.
Full Metal Jacket has also been "acclaimed by critics around the world as the best war movie ever made," according to Warner Home Video Inc.'s 1990 video release of the film. Though it could be argued that Apocalypse Now is a greater cinematic achievement, it is less tenable to say that it is more true-to-life. Apocalypse Now is highly stylized and subjective, while Full Metal Jacket has a distinct documentary feel, despite its often stunning cinematography and use of stylistic devices such as slow-motion. These approaches reflect the background of each director: Kubrick began with documentaries like "Flying Padre" (1951), while Coppola got his start at B-movie producer Roger Corman's American-International Pictures.
Full Metal Jacket's more objective, realistic perspective also reflects the point-of-view of its protagonist and narrator, Private Joker (Matthew Modine), who goes through Marine training to become a field reporter in Vietnam. Though Joker is a much more sane and rational character than Willard, he too is deeply corrupted by his experience, as he becomes more and more cynical throughout the film. As Joker says at one point in the film, in the persona of John Wayne, "A day without blood is like a day without sunshine." This cynical loss of innocence is a cohesive underlying theme in the film, which, like Apocalypse Now, is a journey into the heart of darkness. This is established in the opening sequence, which shows its various characters having their heads shaved, set to the tune of Johnny Wright's "Hello Vietnam." Full Metal Jacket is, essentially, a coming-of-age story - albeit a very brutal one - that is divided into two self-contained, but connected, stories within the film.
The first story thrusts the viewer into the rigid, violent life of Marine training camp and, though Joker is established as the protagonist from the start, the central character of this first story is actually Leonard Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio). Leonard, dubbed "Gomer Pyle" by sadistic drill instructor Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey), is a classic schoolyard bully's victim: overweight, slow-witted to the point of mild retardation, highly vulnerable and prone to crying under duress. Hartman, as a drill instructor, has made a career of being a bully, and the two immediately fall into this dynamic, with Hartman repeatedly choking, slapping and humiliating Leonard throughout the film. This story arc is easily broken into three acts: Leonard's humiliation, Leonard's education, and Leonard's revenge. Ironically, the completion of Leonard's education is the point at which he goes mad from the humiliation and abuse he has suffered at the hands of Hartman as well as the other recruits. Leonard finally snaps when Joker shows his first sign of corruption: after befriending Leonard and helping to educate him, Joker ultimately takes part in a ritualistic beating of Leonard after he and the other recruits are punished for Leonard's transgressions. At this point, the story moves into its third act, in which Leonard takes revenge on the bullying Sgt. Hartman, whose last words are more unrepentant bullying: "What is your major malfunction? Did your Mommy and Daddy not give you enough love when you were young?" Ultimately, though, Leonard forgives Joker and spares his life before taking his own.
The title of the film comes from this first half, in a soliloquy Leonard gives for his rifle, which represents to him a measure of cleanliness and order in the "world of shit" in which he exists. This basically sums up the theme of the film, which is also indicated in its two-part structure: no matter how disciplined and structured a warrior's training and weapons may be, the war itself is still chaos. This chaos runs rampant in the second half of the film, in which Joker finds himself in the midst of combat, at first as an outside observer reporting what he sees, but ultimately having no choice but to participate in the violence all around him. Like Apocalypse Now's Willard, Joker is somewhat on the fringes of combat, but still deeply effected and corrupted by it; while Willard is a hired killer working outside the main conflict of the Vietnam War, Joker is in the midst of this conflict but, in the beginning at least, does not participate in any killing.
Both films touch on a subject that is mostly avoided or neglected in war films: that of sexuality in wartime. Between Apocalypse Now's aborted Playboy Bunny visit early on in the film and Full Metal Jacket's Vietnamese prostitutes in the second half, both films eloquently illustrate the assertion so eloquently voiced in Chris Hedges's 2002 memoir of wartime journalism, War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, that "there is in wartime a nearly universal preoccupation with sexual liaisons." The undercurrent of rape and coercion present in both cases points toward the moral ambiguity of this type of sexuality, which, by extension, shows the questionable morality of war itself.
This ambiguity is also seen in the journeys undertaken by the central characters of each film. In Full Metal Jacket's second story, Joker is given a mission by his commanding officer, Lt. Lockhart (John Terry), which leads him into the heart of darkness, where he faces the ultimate corruption of his own heart (a microcosm for humanity as a whole) when he kills a young female sniper (Ngoc Le) at the end of the film. Like Willard's assassination of Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, this killing is an act of obligation, but both occupy the morally uneasy ground of vengeance; Kurtz's assassination is a cold, detached act of military revenge, while Joker's platoon collectively kills the sniper in a more heated, personal retaliation for her murder of their fellow soldiers. These differing perspectives are reflected in the tone of each film: Full Metal Jacket is a more visceral and real experience than the highly stylized Apocalypse Now.
Full Metal Jacket ends as it begins, with Kubrick's impeccably appropriate musical cues. The diegetic singing of the "Mickey Mouse Club Theme" by the platoon in the film's final shot brings the coming-of-age full circle, and the Rolling Stones's "Paint It Black" over the end credits perfectly mirrors Joker's closing narration: "I am in a world of shit, but I am alive, and I am not afraid." He has clearly reached the heart of darkness; the only remaining ambiguity is whether his lack of fear is a result of his succumbing to the madness of war.
To this day, wars continue to inspire films of varying quality. As long as the world continues to be colored in shades of gray, rather than black and white, the most successful art will always reflect this with a degree of moral ambiguity. Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket have paved the way, and it is to be hoped that future artists will find it, though it is doubtful that any can surpass the artistry of these two great films.
