9 signs you’re an old married couple :P

Couple sleeping

 

You think sleep is sexier than...sex.


You’ve only been married for a few years — isn’t it too soon for you and your partner to wear matching tracksuits? The short answer: yes. Here are nine signs that you’re acting like an old married couple. By Andrea Syrtash
                
Sleep is a magical thing, but those marathon snooze sessions shouldn’t take priority over sex. Making love releases the hormone oxytocin, which promotes feelings of closeness; having sex regularly can help you and your partner feel more connected. Get it?


Shopping carts


 

You head to Costco for date night.

A trip to pick up a 48-pack of toilet paper together isn't exactly a romantic outing, just like crossing items off your to-do list doesn’t equal quality time together. Make your next date night count by doing something fun together, like uncorking a bottle of wine in the park or going to a movie that you’ve both been dying to see.





Texting

 

 

You start texting your mom -- in the middle of your partner's story.

 

It may feel like there’s nothing new to learn about

Funny guys can thank biology for why the ladies love them ;-)

Buck up, beta males. While you might think every woman will inevitably fall for the good-looking, unfunny jerk, scientists have determined that there may be hope for the goofy, hopeless romantic. In a study conducted by the Stanford University School of Medicine, researchers found that women have an evolutionary disposition to appreciate humor more than men, making a sense of humor an important element when choosing a suitable mate. Boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 13 were shown funny videos; the female brains showed more heightened activity, which scientists theorize is due to the fact that the female brain and its reward circuit "is biologically better prepared to respond accordingly." Get your ha-ha on, guys. [Source]




Awesome cat mama now snuggling with the luckiest duck out there !!!

Your eyes do not deceive you: That is an adorable, feathery head amongst all that fur. The duckling in the middle of this image was rejected by its duck mother after the baby hurt its foot. Lucky for the duck, Tosia — a cat with an exceptionally generous maternal spirit — was nearby and has adopted the duckling into her brood. Tosia's human owner said she was alerted to the new addition to her household when the cat returned with something in her mouth: "At first I thought it was a mouse or something, but then she placed it on the ground and I saw it was a little duckling." The cats and duckling are now described as "inseparable." [Source]

Lost Egyptian city found in the Mediterranean, in 30 feet of water !!

After being buried in a load of sand and mud for more than 1,200 years, the ancient Egyptian city of Heracleion is visible once again. Scientists believe the weight of the large buildings over water-logged clay and sand may have caused the city to sink into the Mediterranean Sea after an earthquake. The incredibly-well-preserved artifacts were discovered in 2000 while a team of scientists was conducting an archaeological survey. They were found just 30 feet below the surface after a 13-year-long excavation. Yeah, go figure. Heracleion, which is located in Aboukir Bay, near Alexandria, is believed to have been an important classical-era trade hub and possibly an important religious destination too.

Your Summer-Movie Guide :20 Flicks Even Hotter Than the Weather Outside



Hollywood is working hard to get our butts into movie-theater seats this summer—and with a roster like this, it’s not going to be too difficult. Whether you want blockbusters featuring Superman or super man Will Smith, some of the best indie hits out of Sundance, or a hilarious lady comedy, there’s a movie for you. Right this way for insanely good entertainment.

After Earth (May 31)

This M. Night Shyamalan movie made the cut because of four words: Will and Jaden Smith. Take Pursuit of Happyness, add 10 years, scary monsters, and a father and son kicking butt together instead of solving Rubik’s Cubes, and Shyamalan may finally have a hit on his hands that doesn’t involve seeing dead people.

'The Hangover Part III': The bromance is over....... hmmmm...

'The Hangover Part III': The bromance is over



Advertised as the epic finale of a trilogy, "The Hangover Part III" isn't so much a movie as it is a marketing plane that happens to be projected on movie screens. The first film worked in part thanks to the easy/lazy byplay between its three dude-sketeer leads, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, and in part thanks to the plot's "Memento"-on-meth arc, as the three had to piece together a Vegas bachelor party night they couldn't remember throughout

This is the bank vault that saved 24 people during Oklahoma tornado !!

It's a testament to ... something. Awesome vault construction? The human will to survive? Either way, the fact that 24 people took shelter in this vault at the Tinker Federal Credit Union branch during the Oklahoma tornado, and the fact that it's still standing amid the rubble of the utterly destroyed building are both very impressive. The bank manager's dedication is admirable as well, remaining with the safe even after being rescued until it could be locked up and secured again. Two dozen people have been confirmed killed in the EF5 tornado (the highest grade), and its 17-mile path resulted in at least $1 billion in damage. [Source]

Seaweed helps in the fight against wrinkles and aging !!







Certain kinds of seaweed contain substances which can be very effective in the battle against wrinkles and aging.
  • Minerals: such as sodium and potassium (which regulate the water balance), sodium chloride and calcium (which are good for the teeth and bones), magnesium (helps in the regulation of the cardio-vascular and muscular systems), iron (which helps transfer oxygen to the cells) and iodine (regulates metabolism and the function of the thyroid).
  • They are also rich in microelements: phosphorus (which provides energy), boron, fluoride and copper (which have and anti-inflammatory effect), sulfur, magnesium, chrome, barium and nickel (which aid the absorption of iron), vanadium, silver, titanium and silicon (also known as “the beauty minerals”, because they help the skin and capillaries retain their elasticity).
  • Seaweed contains vitamins A, B1, B5, B12, C, E, D (essential for normal metabolism), pro-vitamin D and also the pigments chlorophyll and xanthophyll.
  • Sugars such as glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, arabinose and rhamnose.
High-quality cosmetic products use seaweed harvested from the depths of the sea, since the kinds that grow close to the surface lose some of their healing properties.

Today there are around 30,000 kinds of seaweed known to man. Scientists have discovered that one kilogram of seaweed contains as much minerals, microelements, amino acids and plant hormones as are found in 100, 000 liters of sea water. The thousands of different enzymes are extremely valuable for proper digestion.

Seaweeds have a cleansing and detoxifying effect on the body. They are extremely rich in beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, manganese, zinc, magnesium, calcium, copper, iron, selenium, chrome and other elements used for the production of antioxidant enzymes in the body, which in turn counteract the free radicals responsible for premature aging. Research shows that women who consume more seafood rarely suffer from osteoporosis and have a stronger skeletal system.
Seaweeds activate the nervous system and help fight depression, sadness and the lack of concentration. Seaweed therapy refreshes the skin, tones it and gives it a healthier look.


Mom 'pops some tags' to teach bully daughter a lesson




 Thrift store punishment for bullying: Thrift-store clothing.

Check out this great MSN video - Bully punished with ugly clothing
Bully punished with ugly clothing



A mother in Utah learned her daughter was teasing children at school for their clothing, so she took a trip to the thrift shop.

When Ally learned her stepdaughter was bullying other children at school, she devised a punishment much more fitting than a grounding.

According to
Fox 13 in Salt Lake City, Utah, Ally learned that stepdaughter Kaylee was teasing another student at school because of how she dressed. Ally and Kaylee are both identified only by their first names to protect their identities.

Fox reported that Ally talked to Kaylee about the bullying, which reportedly included name-calling, but the girl did not seem to get the message.That's when Ally decided to give Kaylee the ultimate dressing down.

Fox said Ally went to a local thrift store and bought about $50 worth of clothing. The next day, a thrift store outfit Kaylee would never normally wear awaited her, complete with old sneakers.

Kaylee told Fox she cried when she saw the outfit. The girl said her classmates talked about her behind her back when she showed up to school in her new duds.

"I thought this is a perfect moment for us to really teach her, this is right, this is wrong, which path are you going to take? And then it's her choice," Ally told Fox.

Q&A on Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy !

 Angelina Jolie double mastectomy: Angelina Jolie attends the Women in the World Summit 2013 on April 4.




Angelina Jolie's decision to remove her breasts came after genetic tests revealed her cancer risk was five times the normal rate.


Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie announced on Tuesday that she had a preventive mastectomy after learning she had a gene that significantly raised her risk of breast cancer. Here's a crash course in the procedure Jolie had and why.

Q: What kind of surgery did Jolie have?

A: Jolie had a preventive double mastectomy, meaning she chose to have both her breasts removed even though she had not been diagnosed with cancer.
 
 
Q: Why did she have the mastectomies?

A: Jolie says that she has a "faulty" version of the BRCA1 gene that means she has an 87 percent chance of getting breast cancer. By having both breasts removed preventively, she said her breast cancer risk drops to 5 percent.

Q: How many women have this faulty gene?

A: Only a small percentage of women have this same faulty gene, or a similar mutated version of a related gene, BRCA 2. These mutations are most commonly found in women of Eastern European Jewish descent; one study found 2.3 percent of women in that group had the mutations — about five times higher than in the general population. Other ethnic groups, including the Norwegian, Dutch and Icelandic people, also have slightly higher rates of these mutations.

Q: How do these genes increase a woman's risk of breast cancer?

A: The average woman has a 12 percent risk of developing breast cancer sometime during her life. In comparison, women who have inherited a faulty version of a breast cancer gene are about five times more likely to get breast cancer. In the U.S., about 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers are thought to be linked to harmful versions of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.

Q: How can women find out if they have these gene mutations?

A: A genetic test using a blood test can usually detect these genes. In the U.S., there are no standard guidelines recommending women for BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic testing. The tests usually cost at least several hundred dollars.

Feds in NYC: Hackers stole $45M in ATM card breach .....





 Hackers steal $45M: ATM



U.S. attorney calls it "a massive 21st-century bank heist."

 

NEW YORK —  A worldwide gang of criminals stole $45 million in hours by hacking into a database of prepaid debit cards and draining cash machines around the globe, prosecutors said Thursday — and outmoded U.S. card technology may be partly to blame.

Prosecutors said the case involved thousands of thefts from ATMs using bogus magnetic swipe cards carrying information from Middle Eastern banks. The fraudsters moved with astounding speed to loot financial institutions around the world, working in cells including one in New York, U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said.

She called it "a massive 21st-century bank heist." Seven U.S. citizens from the Dominican Republic are under arrest.

Miley Cyrus believes she had a supernatural experience in London
May, October, whatevs. It's never too early for a good ghost story, and Miley Cyrus has a pretty heavy one. While renting an apartment in London for herself and her family during her tour, the singer tells Elle UK that she was plagued with bad dreams before things escalated:

"One night my little sister — it sounds crazy to tell you — but, she was standing in the shower and all of a sudden I hear her scream. I run in there and the water had somehow flipped to hot but it was still … It wasn't like the water had just changed, the knob had turned but she hadn't turned it and it was burning her. She was really red."

That was before she caught a glimpse of the otherworldly little boy whom she now believes may have been responsible for the shower incident. "[He was] sitting on the sink watching me take a shower so I felt really freaked out," she recalls. "I was sitting there the next night and maybe I'm crazy, but I could have sworn I could see this little boy sitting there on the sink, kicking his feet."
It seems the apartment was once a bakery owned by a family of three. The father and mother apparently died, according to Miley, leaving the little boy behind … ...

Eyebrow care for men !!





Taking care of your eyebrows is not a female thing. Men should also care for their eyebrows. The difference is that men don’t need to pluck each individual hair with the patience, daily dedication and precision that women do. Eyebrow maintenance for men is a once in a while event, but that does not make it unimportant. On the contrary – eyebrows are detrimental to the expression of your face.


Should you be messing with your eyebrows at all?
Before you decide to shape your eyebrows take a good look in the mirror to determine whether this is necessary. Don’t go out and buy tweezers just because someone said you should. Your appearance and maintenance are a matter of personal choice.

The most frequent problem – hair between the eyebrows
If you like the look of connecting eyebrows, by all means keep it. However if the hair between your eyebrows is a lot and you decide to remove it, use tweezers. Shaving it is a very bad idea, so do not be tempted to run the razor above your nose while shaving in the morning. Once you shave those hairs, you will have to do this daily, yet this method of hair removal is not at all precise and can cause skin irritation.

Eyebrows that are too long
If the hairs of your eyebrows have a tendency to stick out, before getting annoyed and doing anything rash try to locate where the problem is. Isolate the jutting hairs and clip the extra millimeters away with small manicure scissors. Do not cut too low! If your eyebrow hairs are too short they will continue to stick out, but will look much worse and far more unnatural than when they were longer
.
Eyebrows that are too thick
Observe your eyebrows in the mirror after taking a shower. Brush them in the direction of hair growth. Then use tweezers to remove a few of the extra hairs. Never tweeze more than one hair at a time. If you are in doubt, better wait. You can always pluck the hair out later, but you can’t plant it back in. When thinning out your eyebrows, do not overdo it. Keep tweezing to a minimum. Avoid removing hairs from the upper side of the eyebrow. Work from the nose outward.

Other methods
In beauty salons eyebrows are shaped with hot wax masks. However experimenting with hot wax at home can be dangerous, especially when using it on your face. Do not use hair-removal lotions either, because the skin around the eyes is extremely sensitive.

Very important!
Whatever you decide to do with your eyebrows, keep in mind that you will need not only tools such as scissors and tweezers, but also good lighting.
Also, if you are using tweezers to shape your eyebrows, use them for this job only. You can not use them for tweaking, fine-tuning and cleaning small objects. If you are going to use them on your eyebrows, they must be clean.

Older men and their younger ladies :)




Couple: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
Age Difference: 22 years
Most men probably dream about landing a 27-year-old blond bombshell after their relationship with their partner of 14 years crumbles. But those men aren't Johnny Depp, who's allegedly been hooking up with his gorgeous "The Rum Diary" co-star off and on since July 2012.


Wonderwall



In honor of George Clooney's birthday, we're rounding up the Hollywood stars who've found love with much younger women.
                   
In Hollywood, age is just a number -- and when you're one of the most attractive, talented, successful, or wealthy men in the world, that number is totally obsolete. So it's no surprise that studs like George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Alec Baldwin are still pulling in women half their ages. In honor of George's 52nd birthday on May 6, we're rounding up 15 men with much younger squeezes -- we'll even do the math for you!

Couple: George Clooney and Stacy Keibler
Age Difference: 18 years
"That's what I love about these D-list starlets, man: I get older, they stay the same age," proclaimed George Clooney when he traded in Italian television presenter Elisabetta Canalis -- 19 years his junior -- for a younger model: former WWE wrestler Stacy Keibler.


Wonderwall


Couple: Bruce Willis and Emma Heming
Age Difference: 24 years

The "Die Hard" star's second wife, model-actress Emma Heming, is just ten years older than Bruce's oldest daughter, Rumer Willis. Think that's bad? Rumer's former step-dad, the gorgeous Ashton Kutcher, was only 11 years her senior, making him technically closer in age to Rumer than her mom, Demi Moore.

Ladies slicing toes to wear heels in comfort is so hot right now

Why bother finding a pair of shoes that fit your feet when you can just surgically alter your feet to fit your shoes? A "growing number" of women are reportedly having surgery to make their high heels more comfortable, receiving special foot injections, shortening their toes — and in extreme cases — cutting off their pinky toes altogether. "Unless you've been there, and you can't find shoes, and you're in pain, don't judge," said Susan Deming, who recently underwent a toe-shortening procedure on her left foot, which had longer toes than her right. She says going under the knife was a worthy price to pay for better-fitting heels: "I've never felt this good about something I've done. If it's vain, it's vain." [Source]
