Break ups seem to hit women harder than men. It's inevitable, yet we still obsess over it. Many times we're left wondering how to get him back. This article is going to give you specific steps you can take to get a man back. Use them or lose him.

The first thing you need to know is that to get a man back, you should be sure you want him back. Don't get caught up in missing him or remembering the good times only. Remember the bad times too and take a good look at whether he's good enough for you. He's not the only man out there. You will find love again if it doesn't work out between you two. So if he's not really worth it, let your head trump your heart. You'll thank it in the long run.

Book For Men

Also, when working out how to get a man back, don't go overboard. Many times women scheme and plot to bump into him or get his friends involved. This is a very bad mistake. First it's quite obvious. Second it will backfire. Imagine scheming to find out where he's gonna be Saturday only to see him there with another woman. It's very possible. Plus the friends will take sides. Even the ones helping you scheme may tell him what's going on. Those tactics never work for the long haul anyway.

Want to Know How to Get a Man Back? 4 Things to Keep in Mind

Another tip on how to get a man back is to act like you don't want him. This ignoring technique has worked for centuries. Put the mystery back into the relationship. Make it a chase with you the prize at the end. If he thinks you're getting on with your life and that his leaving didn't affect you much, he'll start to get jealous. Men like to be King of their castles. He'll give it another try and work hard at making you think he's the best thing on earth. He won't even know what hit him.

Finally, to get a man back, you have to look the part. Put extra effort into your appearance. Do the little things you may have been neglecting while you were together. You can even change something if you want; hair, clothes, anything. You know what he likes about you, what he finds sexiest. Flaunt it. That little something extra will definitely get noticed. He won't want another man enjoying you in that tiny red dress. He'll stake his claim on his property real quick.

Worrying about how to get a man back won't get him back. You have to go out and put these tips to the test. Get out there and get your life back. He'll follow. It's the oldest trick in the book.

Zambian Cultural Heritage - The Traditional Lwiindi Rain Ceremony of the Toka-Leya

There are many long-established traditional ceremonies in Zambia and described here is a ceremony of the Toka-Leya people in Zambia. Its main purpose is to attract the rain after a long dry season. Lwiindi means 'thanksgiving of the harvests'. Zambia experiences a long dry season from April through to October and by the end of the dry season the land is parched, rivers and lakes are drying up and people and animals must travel long distances for water.

Living so close to the Victoria Falls the Toka-Leya understand the waterfall better than most and they respect it too. They have created a number of shrines for different purposes including prayer and sacrifice stemming from their belief that various spirits live around the falls area.

Book For Men

The area in which the Lwiindi ceremony is performed is highly prone to drought and so this ceremony is performed just before the rains would normally be expected every year to ensure its timely and much needed arrival. Young men around the age of seventeen under Chief Mukuni's rule are expected to prove they are real men and ready for their marital responsibilities by taking part in this adventurous rain inducing custom.

Zambian Cultural Heritage - The Traditional Lwiindi Rain Ceremony of the Toka-Leya

Days before the ritual local beer is brewed and visitors begin to congregate in the village and the excitement brews. On the day of the ceremony traditional hymns are sung to the Toka-Leya ancestors whom the people believe their chief, Chief Mukuni, is a living representative. The ceremony begins with a 40km walk away from the Mukuni Village and towards the Victoria Falls. On arrival the young men smear themselves with white clay from the river bed and they do this to demonstrate their purity to the spirits. They also use fresh green leaves to complete the ritual costume.

Now the men must collect water from a sacred site deep within the gorge in what is known as the 'boiling pot' (due to its angry and tumultuous swirling below the Victoria Falls). After this dangerous escapade, the water is very carefully carried to a water shrine on the road to Mukuni Village and here they imitate rain falling by pouring water over the roof of a sacred hut. The group of revered young men who have now proved their manliness and are seen to be ready for marriage return to the village where they are met by the beautiful and eager young girls of the village. Historically the girls would have used this opportunity to select a husband of choice but times have moved on somewhat!

Though to some the concept of rituals, ceremonies, costumes and prayers to spirits may seem a little farfetched, witnesses of this ceremony will tell you that it always rains within an hour of these sacred rituals. It has been reported that even when the rest of Livingstone (the area surrounding the Victoria Falls) is completely dry from months without rain, the vicinity of the Toka -Leya where the Lwiindi ceremony has taken place is blessed with a much needed and refreshing downpour.

This article is inspired by the book 'Ceremony! Celebrating Zambia's Cultural Heritage'. It's fabulous and a visually pleasing book which I would encourage you to get. I got mine from ZAIN in Lusaka, Zambia. It is published by Celtel Zambia PLC and Seka. Original photography, Francois d'Elbee. Coordinating author, Tamara Guhrs. Editor, Mulunga Kapwepwe. Contributing authors, Akashambatwa Mbikusita-Lewanika, Prof Mapopa Mtonga, Mulenga Kapwepwe, Isaac Smogy Kapinga, Miranda Guhrs, Msatero Tembo, Matiya Ngalande and Joseph Chikuta.

Zambia enourages people to witness its cultural ceremonies.

Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo - Amish Mystery Book Review - Hate Crimes and Love

We tend to think of crimes among the Amish community as nonexistent, given their often-idyllic portrayals. Atrocities do happen however, like the recent beard- cutting attacks by renegade Amish men in Ohio.

Breaking Silence is the latest novel from bestselling author,
Linda Castillo; and the third in a series featuring Kate Burkholder, chief of police in the fictional town of Painters Mill, Ohio.

Book For Men

For the past six months, hate crimes against the Amish have been ravishing Coshocton and Holmes counties. Buggies are being set ablaze with Molotov cocktails, farm animals are being nocturnally slaughtered; and men are being battered, left half-dressed and freezing and tied to their buggies.

Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo - Amish Mystery Book Review - Hate Crimes and Love

Solving the crimes is especially challenging, since culturally, the Amish are loathe to pressing charges. "God will take care of us," is their inherent belief.

Solomon (Solly) Slabaugh, his wife Rachel, and Abel, his brother visiting from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, are found dead on their farm's manure pit (Manure pits capture livestock wastes and produce lethal methane gas).

Are these the latest hate crimes against the local Amish, magnified, or simply a terrible accident?

Kate Burkholder is quick to arrive at the scene. Formerly Amish herself, she's at an advantage leading the investigation.

Coroner Dr. Ludwig Coblentz discovers substantial head contusions on Solly while doing his autopsy, initiating a murder investigation. Human hair is also found on a shovel left near the bodies.

The Slabaugh's leave behind four children: Moses (Mose), 17, Salome, 15, Samuel, 12, and Ike, 10.

State Agent John Tomaselli comes to help Kate with the investigation. They worked together before on the Slaughterhouse Killer case and found themselves covertly romantically involved.

Dark secrets from Kate's teenage years haunt her today as a young woman, challenging her ability to love. Yet, she's drawn to Agent Tomaselli: "He gets me. I'm thirty-one years old, and this is the first time anyone has ever given me the gift of true understanding."

The Slabaugh family has their own concealments, central to the plot.

Who would have motive to kill the Slabaugh's?

Adam Slabaugh for one. Excommunicated for marrying outside his Amish faith, Solly banned his brother from seeing his niece and nephews. Adam is now next-of-kin to receive custody of the Slabaugh children.

Accounting for missing money from Solly's well-hidden Mason jar, and a once-removed rifle from the Slabaugh house are key to solving the crimes.

Breaking Silence is especially enjoyable if you have ties to central and/or northeast Ohio, with all of its regional references.

If you're interested in reading a well-written mystery/thriller with a small-town feel, you'll enjoy Breaking Silence. It's entertaining, fictional drama without the harsh realities of crimes actually happening in Amish communities today.

Womens Health - Staying in Shape, Staying Healthy

Here are 10 tips for women to stay fit and healthy:

1. Staying fit and healthy starts with a balanced diet. Know and monitor the right weight for your age. Consult your doctor to learn what food you should avoid and follow your eating discipline routines. If you are trying to lose some weight, foods with high calories should be omitted from your meals. Food with high fiber and low fat should be included a priority in your grocery list instead of red meat, sugars and fats.

Book For Men

2. Drink plenty of water. Drinking at least eight glasses of water everyday. This cleanses the body from impurities. It is also advised for lactating women to increase water intake to keep the body hydrated.

Womens Health - Staying in Shape, Staying Healthy

3. Take Vitamins and Supplements. Do not forget your Calcium supplement. Sufficient Calcium intake is beneficial for women of all ages. This has been proven to prevent having cramps and Pre-Menstrual Period (PMS) Symptoms. It also prevents Osteoporosis especially for menopausal women. Vitamin E boosts strong immune system. Women who undergo menopausal period should take Vitamin E-400 as it stops night sweats and hot flashes. Also, Vitamin E is said to be best in avoiding wrinkles when aging.

4. Quit smoking. If you are smoking, stop. It is also a big "NO" for pregnant women, as this will affect the health of the baby. Pregnant women who smoke may pass the harmful content of cigarettes to babies through the bloodstream. Recent studies have shown that women smokers are more prone to diseases than men smokers. Women who smoke have a high risk of getting breast cancer. Also limit your alcohol intake.

5. Incorporate exercises in your daily routine. Take a walk after work, use stairs instead of elevator or play with your kids when you are at home. Home exercises are also effective especially when you do not have time to go to the gym and would like to lose some weight. Yoga and Pilates are only a few of the many effective exercises you can do at home. Exercises help in limiting the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

6. Avoid stress. Many women are prone to too much stress. Stress has been known as cause to many sicknesses. As much as possible take time to relax. Read a good book, hang out with friends and engage into sports. Pamper yourself by going to parlors or you can do some shopping. And do not forget to get enough sleep to revive your energy.

7. Use sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Wear hats when under the sun to protect your skin. Too much sun is bad for your skin. The skin is prone to cancer when exposed to too much sunlight. It also speeds up the aging of skin cells, which causes wrinkles to women.

8. Make sure to visit your dentist to keep that beautiful smile. Always have it cleaned to prevent cavities and bad breath.

9. Visit your Gynecologist. Women who are eighteen and above should have their Physical Examination annually especially for the Pap Smear test. Women who are forty and up should have their mammograms and the Breast self-exam is encouraged once puberty has been reached and should be a habit as they mature

10. Safe sex is strongly recommended. Use condoms to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

Cain & Abel's World War III Continued

What a difference a shift in conscious awareness can create.

As I reread this 3 yrs later, I was amazes at my thought process at that time.

Book For Men

"From the dawn of time mankind has searched for meaning. Our ancestors organized various forms of religions to allow hope and purpose. With the advent of the Hebrew Scriptures, that appear to be a reflection of various religious ideals, such are those claimed by Buddha and others, most of which claim an afterlife free of pain and sorrow.

Cain & Abel's World War III Continued

However, one claims reincarnation as bugs or other creatures, but why would we wish to return back to the same place of grief and sorrow, and in the form of a bug?

Moreover, all religions claim good works, as in be kind to one another, don't steal, kill and forgive those who cause us harm. As far as I am concerned there is only one universe, one earth, one family and one God who has relationship with each one of us, whether we want one or not. But, in my understanding this creator/sustainer serves all religions.

We may all have different names for Him, and many various ideals regarding how we deal with Him, what is acceptable behavior and what is not, but there is only one true God.

After many years of reckoning with these various thoughts I have concluded that where we are is the opposite reflection of where we need to be. In that, here we know hatred, sorrow and pain. Here we are made of dirt and filled with negative emotions. Here we think we are God!

However, there in the spiritual realm we will no longer be living in the reflection, but rather in the true reality, rather than in this artificial reality. After study of various modalities, I have concluded, maybe just led to believe because it sounds so inviting, that in the next stage of this process, this evolution, if you will, we will become as light, as transfigured as the Christ who Peter in the Hebrew Scriptures gave witness to. Here we will know no harsh emotion, but only great love for one another as we will be as a hive mind, a communal cognition with our Creator, therefore, with each other. That sounds better than being a bug to me!

Now regarding the Christ; it appears as if He, God's voice who became flesh at various points in human history to give credence to that which is to come. One whomever each religion chooses to call Him, at one point, whether it is as the Hebrew Scriptures claim or was a symbolic event, God in the flesh nailed Himself to a tree to redeem all people to Himself. Again, peoples from around the world and at different times appear to have had encounter with, and their lives were changed forever by this spirit, this event.

Because of my understanding, I choose to call Him my friend, The Christ, as He is the reflection I seek. I place my trust in Him because in my heart I can feel His presents in all the good, the bad and even in the indifferent in my life.

I have read The Book, I do almost every day, however, I also see His reflection in, not just one book, or religion, but I see His reflection in the goodness that is spread throughout the land. In that, when I see a broken heart healed, a starving baby feed, the joy when one finds peace and reconciliation with his neighbor. However, I also see Him in the misery. Here I see His great love for us, even in the tears, His and in ours.

Many wish to denounce a Creator for their own personal reasons, and I really have no cause for concern here because I know His great love for them will be realized in their hearts one day, just as it has been realized in mine. However, I fear for those who have become complacent because I know their rejection, their excuses, and their stubbornness is going to cause them undo misery and great sorrow soon.

For the last 2,000 years there have been over 3,000 documented predictions of when this birthing, this process of reconciliation will come to pass. I have reached the conclusion that I, too, would be foolish to predict what tomorrow will bring, and when it will bring this great renewal.

However, there are signs or clues that have been given that help me to put together a possible scenario. The Scriptures speak of a system, a beast. 30 years ago there was still much speculation; however, today we can realize a one world religion In that, today we have the technology to realize a system that could control the resources of every person on the earth.

After reading Hal Lindsey's publication back in the early 70's "The Late Great Planet Earth" I began watching the technology form. Today we have people volunteering to become the first to have this identity micro chip planted in their bodies.

Hey, this sounds great. Soon no one will be able to abduct our children, rob our merchants, no more hit and runs and medical monitoring will be great for our elderly and those with afflictions, what more could we ask for? No one can steal our identity, no more cash to be concerned about, hey, life will be grand! With a one world government and a one world religion, everyone should be able to get along, right?

By now most of us are aware that this has been the plan by the elite for many years, but did you ever stop to realize that this has been the plan from the beginning of time? Who was that guy who said, "I will ascend on high, and I will place my throne above God's" Hey, that sounds a lot like my words. "I can do this myself, I don't need no ones help" Have you ever made that claim?

Sure you have, you say it every day! Well I have some bad news for you, we were given the chance to do it our way, and it has not worked yet. Look around you, the world is headed for its own self-created hell, and I don't think I am the only one who has come to this realization.

In the last few days people, more than ever, have been talking about Armageddon, 666, 2012, anti-Christ, homo luminous, Inca, Mayan and Hopi prophecies. I am seeing a major increase in these key words being used to get to my Origin and Destination pages.

Why? Because most are smart enough to realize that something is happening around them. Many are scared at the thought of a nuclear Iran. Some even seem to understand the significance of Russia and China playing army together. But what does it all mean? Again, who really knows for sure?

From the time most of us were small, people have claimed, "Don't take the chip, its evil" But where then does this leave us? That chip is here! In fact, the plan is to make an identity card with the chip in it and it will be the law of the land that everyone must carry it on their person at all time by mid 2009.

So what should we do? Should we stop eating, paying our bills, and working? Hey, stop working that sounds great to most people. What do we do, where do we draw the line, as we already use social security cards, ATM cards and the like, where do we draw the line in the sand and go no further into this system of bondage? For those of you who know the story of Daniel in the lion's den, here is our answer.

Daniel ate, not the king's food. He prayed, not as the king prayed and he refused to bow down to the king's image, who was, by the way Daniel's friend. Daniel forced the king's hand, giving him no other choices, so the king was forced to place Daniel, first in the lions den where he played with the big kitties, then he was forced to placed him into the furnace.

What happened in the furnace should be our guide as to what to do when the king of this world, from the beginning of time, the one who The Christ claimed to have seen fall to the earth as a volt of lightning, let him have your head. It belongs to him, but your heart belongs to the One who counts every hair on that head.

You may not agree, it will probably make you angry, but you must read our article, "What Does God Look Like." You can find it here on EzineArticles or we have it listed on our website. It is time to wake up people, if you dare. We are in the final days. Soon it will be Lucifer's big day view.

Will he come with horns and a pitch fork, with red leotards on? Right! Wrong! He is the most charismatic character ever known to mankind. Most of us have been doing his biding all of our lives! He is handsome, witty, and extremely persuasive. Men will admire his image and the women will adore him.

He will bring peace and progress to a world torn in two. Beware however, he is the wolf in sheep's clothing, he will turn on you and cut you down. Rest assured, he is you, telling yourself, "I can do this myself; I don't need any one's help, because I am God."

I wish to now invite you to the new paradigm in my conscious awareness.

A Tourist Guide to New Hampshire's Eastern White Mountains

1. Appalachian Mountains:

Stretching almost 2,000 miles from Newfoundland, in Canada, to Alabama, in the US, the Appalachian Mountains-or the eastern counterpart to Rockies in the west-form a natural barrier between North America's coastal plain and its interior lowlands. Subdivided into three northern, central, and southern physiographic regions, they encompass numerous ranges.

Book For Men

Consisting of metamorphic rock formed by catastrophic eruptions, intense heat, and crushing pressure during the Precambrian Period of between 1.1 billion and 540 million years ago, the Appalachians constitute some of the planet's oldest mountains. Rising during terrestrial crust upheavals at the end of the Paleozoic Era (about 250 million years ago), they were formed when interior crumbling of inconceivable proportions exerted strains on subterranean rock, which then buckled, folded, faulted, and cracked, before being counteracted by uplifting-sometimes into parallel ridges. Secondary shaping and chiseling, by water, ice, and weather over the millennia, produced valleys and ravines, at a time when plants and most animal species had yet to exist.

A Tourist Guide to New Hampshire's Eastern White Mountains

When the earth's forces had subsided, they had left the highest peak, of 6,684 feet, in today's North Carolina in the form of Mount Mitchell.

2. White Mountains:

New Hampshire had hardly been neglected when it came to elevation superlatives. Indeed, its own section of the Appalachian chain, the White Mountains, poked the sky with 48 peaks considered "four thousand footers," several at least 5,000 feet in height, and the crown of its kingdom, 6,288-foot Mount Washington, the tallest peak in all of the northeast.

Glaciation had formed deep mountain passes named "notches" by early settlers because they resembled the shapes they had made in wood with axes, while cirques had produced the heads of ravines, such as Mount Washington's Tuckerman and Mount Adam's King ravines.

Man had also had a hand-and sometimes a detrimental one-in the shaping of New Hampshire's section of the Appalachians. Striped of their arboreal fashion by the logging concerns that had purchased most of the land and then reduced it to shreds with the 1,832 area sawmills before being hauled away by railroads, they were left bare until the Weeks Act was signed into law and permitted the 1914 reacquisition of the original 7,000 acres.

Subsequent purchases, coupled with logging prohibitions in designated wilderness areas, ensured the establishment of 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest, which today totes the slogan, "Land of many uses."

Prominent in the state is its Presidential Range, whose peaks, as their name implies, are named after presidents and other prominent Americans.

Its abundant wildlife ranges from deer to mouse, black bears, bobcats, gray fox, coyotes, beaver, porcupines, raccoons, and 184 species of birds, including Peregrine falcons.

Although its protected status restricts its use, this limitation does not apply to its enjoyment, whose opportunities are plentiful and vary according to the season.

Abundant snowfalls re-dimension the landscape into pristine postcards and sports paradises during the winter, for instance, luring sightseers, tourists, athletes, and enthusiasts, as the mountains lend their sides and summits to world class resorts that facilitate a range of activities, including alpine and cross country skiing, snow boarding, snow tubing, snow shoeing, ice skating, snowmobiling, sleigh riding, ice fishing, dog sledding, and even frozen waterfall climbing.

Ablaze with color, the region becomes a never-ending canvas of Impressionism paintings in the autumn, becoming a magnet for photographers, leaf peepers, and naturalists. Color peeking depends upon time, elevation, and tree type. Red maples, for example, pinnacle at low elevations in mid-September, while beech, sugar maples, and birches reach this level a month later below 2,000 feet. This peak occurs earlier, at the beginning of October, between 2,000 and 3,500 feet, and yellow birch, mountain maple, and mountain ash glow with color intensity in mid-September between 3,500 and 5,500 feet.

However, the area's peaks reach their greatest heights during the summer tourist season when its some two dozen sights provide natural scenery, links to its railroad past, family-oriented theme parks, and outdoor activities.

3. Orientation:

New Hampshire's White Mountains, located in the northern portion of the state, are easily accessible, with Route 16, Interstate 93, and Route 3 providing north-south travel, and Routes 2, 302, and 112 slicing the area in an easterly-westerly direction.

4. White Mountain Sights:

A. On Route 2:

Santa's Village, located in Jefferson, New Hampshire, and open from May to December, is a Christmas-themed park and allows children to visit the bearded man in the red suit in July, feed his reindeer, and enjoy 19 different rides and activities, including antique cars, a yule log flume, a flying sleigh, a Jingle Bells Express train, a roller coaster, and a waterpark. Live, 3-D shows are presented in the Polar Theater, and the Burgermeister Food Court offers an array of items for lunch, including the opportunity to decorate gingerbread cookies.

Single-, two-day, and season passes permit unlimited use of the park's rides, shows, and attractions.

Six Gun City and Fort Splash is another family-oriented theme park in Jefferson accessed by Route 2, but with a western focus. Open between May and September, it enables its visitors to "ride, slide, and play all day" on attractions that include go-carts, laser tag, water slides, bumper boats, sawmill rides, mechanical stage coaches, log boats, and a Gold Rush Runaway Train.

Kids can earn a deputy badge from the sheriff or step over to the other side of the law and have their pictures adorn wanted posters.

A transportation museum exhibits more than a hundred antique carriages and sleighs, including the oldest Concord Coach.

Children can down doubles (of soda) at the Six Gun Saloon or have lunch at Grabby's Grub House, and cowboy-related clothes and gifts can be purchased at the Trading Post and in the General Store.

The Fort Jefferson Campground, with its own swimming pool, offers 100 sites, from tenting to full hookups.

B. On Route 302:

Challenging mankind to surmount its imposing, 6,288-foot peak, and counting Darby Field as the first to have successfully done so when he had climbed to the top in 1652 with the aid of two Indian guides, Mount Washington has never ceased to entice people to duplicate his success. However, the present-day tourist can do so far easier, quicker, and more comfortably with the Mount Washington Cog Railway.

When Sylvester Marsh, a Compton, New Hampshire native and Chicago meat-packing businessman had followed in Field's footsteps some two hundred years later and became entrapped on the mountain by a life-threatening snowstorm, he vowed to devise a method which would eliminate the ascent's inherent dangers and make it accessible to anyone.

Securing a charter for a mountain-climbing railroad, whose concept was initially met with laughter by the New Hampshire Legislature and accompanied by the now-famous words that he "might as well build a railway to the moon," he invented technology that incorporated a small, geared, below-locomotive cogwheel that meshed with the rungs installed between a tiny track and permitted the engine to pull itself up inclines as steep as 37.41-percent.

Successfully reaching its lofty goal and elevation in 1869, it has been running ever since. A National Historic Landmark, it is the world's second steepest rail system and the oldest still-operating one.

Accessed by the six-mile base road next to Fabyan's Station from Route 302, the Mount Washington Cog Railway offers three-hour round-trips from its own Marshfield Station to the summit by both steam and bio-diesel locomotives between May and October and one-hour halfway trips in November and December. All trains consist of a pushing engine and a single passenger coach.

Aside from featuring a ticketing office; a self-service restaurant, Catalano's at the Cog; and a gift shop, the station itself offers a glimpse into early cog railroad technology through its Cog Museum and outside displays, which include the first locomotive to climb the mountain.

Views from the rocky, windswept moonscape summit encompass the northern Presidential Range peaks, and riders can visit the Sherman Adams Summit Building; the Mount Washington Observatory; the Tip-Top House, a National Historic Landmark; and the Summit Stage Office, where the world's highest wind velocity-of 231 mph-was recorded.

A short distance from the Mount Washington Cog Railway's base road on Route 302 in Bretton Woods is yet another namesaked attraction, the Mount Washington Resort.

Rising from the forest green, and always within the shadow of the mountain itself, this white facaded, red-roofed mega-mansion, one of the area's original grand hotels, was constructed between 1900 and 1902 by Joseph Stickney, a New Hampshire native who had amassed his wealth in the coal mining industry and with the Pennsylvania Railroad, in Spanish Renaissance Revival style.

Built 250 Italian craftsmen, who applied meticulous detail to its woodwork and masonry, it featured a rare steel framework and innovative heating, electric powerplant, plumbing, and private telephone systems, along with its still-existent post office, transforming forest into luxury in the form of the grandest of the grand hotels.

Staffed by 350, it opened its doors on July 28, 1902, catering to wealthy guests from the northeast, celebrities, and dignitaries, including Thomas Edison, Babe Ruth, Joan Crawford, Princess Margaret, and three US presidents, who all had area access by up to 50 daily trains that served three local stations.

In 1944, it hosted the Bretton Woods International Monetary Conference, during which delegates from 44 nations established the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, setting the gold standard at .00 and designating the US dollar as the backbone of international exchange.

In 1978, the hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places and nine years later was designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of Interior.

Echoing its century-old elegance are its 900-foot verandah and "Great Hall" lobby, which features high ceilings and rocky fireplaces.

Other opulent era echoes sound in the form of afternoon teas in its Princess Room, five-star meals in the Dining Room, lighter fare in Stickney's Restaurant, cocktails in the Rosebrook Bar, Verandah, or rock-formed Cave, operator-attended elevator, and hose-drawn carriage tours of the grounds, which are surrounded by the White Mountain peaks and Crawford Notch.

A 25,000-square-foot spa, with 13 treatment rooms, and two golf courses round out the amenities, the latter of which include the nine-hole, Mount Pleasant Course opened in 1895, and the 18-hole Mount Washington Course, which was restored to its 1915 Donald Ross design.

The equally Omni-owned Bretton Arms Inn is a bed-and-breakfast.

Across Route 302 from the Fabyan's Station Restaurant is the Bretton Woods Ski Resort at Mount Rosebrook. It features 433 acres of skiing and snow boarding, 101 alpine trails, 100 kilometers of Nordic trails, four terrain parks, night skiing, and a canopy tour with ten ziplines, two sky bridges, and three rappel stations.

Other than skiing itself, winter activities include dog sledding, sleigh riding, snow tubing, ice skating, snow shoeing, and ice climbing, while summer sports include hiking, bicycling, swimming, fly fishing, tennis, and trail and carriage riding.

Dining options include Lucy Crawford's Food Court and the Slopeside Restaurant in the base lodge and the Top O' Quad Restaurant on the summit.

Further east on Route 302 is Crawford Notch State Park.

Discovered in 1771 when Timothy Nash, a Lancaster hunter, discovered a gap while tracking a moose over Cherry Mountain, its lands was promised to him by Governor John Wentworth if he could both ride a horse and construct a road through it-feats he ultimately achieved, despite significant topographical obstacles.

The area itself was named after the Crawford family, its first settlers. Establishing inns for travelers and forging the first path up Mount Washington, they conducted climbing expeditions.

Thwarting the area's excessive deforestation, the state of New Hampshire acquired most of the local land in 1913, designating it a state park. Its 5,775-acre area now encompasses the mountain summits that border the Saco River Valley.

Aside from picnicking, fishing, and hiking, it offers two short, easy hiking trails: the half-mile Pond Loop Trail leads to views of the pond itself, while the one-mile round-trip Sam Willey Trail follows the Saco River. Extensions and separate paths lead to Rippley and Arethusa falls.

Even further east, but still on Route 302, is Attitash Mountain Resort, whose peak rises to 2,350 feet. Aside from the standard winter sports offerings, it opened its doors to summer activities in 1976 with a more than one-mile-long, chairlift-accessed slide imported from Germany that features rolling slopes and S-turns.

Progressively added attractions now include the rail-mounted, two-person cars plying the 2,280-foot Nor'Easter Mountain Coaster, with 360-degree loops; a climbing wall; a trampoline; water slides; mountain bike riding; horseback riding; and 1,700-foot scenic chairlift rides.

Day, afternoon, and single-ride adult and child tickets allow visitors to optimize their experience.

At the foothills of 2,050-foot Bear Peak is the Attitash Grand Summit Hotel and Crawford's Restaurant, while the Attitash Mountain Village is located across Route 302.

C. On Route 16:

While the Cog Railway provides west side access to the mountain's summit, the Mount Washington Auto Road offers an east side, self-drive alternative.

Tracing its origins to the originally-designated Mount Washington Carriage Road, which was the country's first man-made tourist attraction when it opened on August 8, 1861, it allows motorists to "take the high road," as it advertises itself, by accessing it from Route 16 in Pinkham Notch.

The Great Glen Lodge, located at its base, offers a restaurant, and the adjacent Douglas A. Philbrook Red Barn Museum, the last of the horse and hay barns that had been integral to the Carriage Road's staging process, features a collection of restored wagons, carriages, stagecoaches, and automobiles which once followed the summit surmounting path.

The basic fee to enter the Auto Road includes the car, its driver, an audio or CD cassette tour, and the famed, "This car climbed Mt. Washington:" bumper sticker, and vehicles ascend from 1,543 to 6,288 feet, with an enroute elevation gain of between 594 and 880 feet per mile, while traversing the 7.6-mile road. They have access to the same summit views and historic buildings as their rail passenger counterparts.

A short distance from the Auto Road on Route 16 is Wildcat Mountain, itself a sister attraction to Attitash. Its 49 trails and glades, reached by the most powerful quad chairlift in New England, include the 2.75-mile Polcat Trail for beginners, the 2,112-foot, vertically dropping Lynx Trail for intermediates, and the Wildcat Trail for experts.

Summer activities include the Wildcat Mountain Express Skyride. Silently ascending to the 4,062-foot summit of Wildcat Mountain during their 15-minute journey, the four-person gondolas initially move among, and ultimately above, the tsunami-towering waves of green encompassing the White Mountains and Tuckerman Ravine, Lion Head, Raymond Cataract, Mount Washington, and Huntington Ravine amid distant, but still-visible, sugar-dusted spots and specks of peak-clinging snow, even in the summer.

Seeming to brush the erectly-standing evergreens, which resemble arboreal, forest-guarding sentinels, as they approach the top, they open their doors and emit olfactory onslaughts of pine, as if the rider had been deposited in his local nursery for his annual Christmas tree spree. The air, thin and pure, is some ten degrees cooler than it is at the base.

"You are standing on part of the Appalachian Trail," a sign immediately advises, "designated by Congress as a National Scenic Trail in 1968." Stretching more than 2,140 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin, Maine, it crosses 14 states, eight national forests, six national park areas, and numerous state lands.

The short walk to the summit's other edge affords views of the eastern slope of the White Mountain National Forest and the Kearsarge North, South Doublehead, and Black Mountain silhouettes directly ahead. Toward the east, in the foreground, is the Wild River Valley, while a series of smaller, rounded mountains formed during the last glacial period are visible beyond this area, along the New Hampshire-Maine state line. Clear days enable the Atlantic Ocean, 90 miles away, to be glimpsed.

The Appalachian Trail traverses the Presidential Range, Mount Washington, and the Great Gulf Wilderness to the west. The Mahoosuc Range and the towns of Berlin and Gorham lurk in the north, and Jackson, Bartlett, and the Conways are in the south.

Wildcat Mountain's four-person Zip Rider, suspended from a cable 70 feet above the ground, descends 2,100 feet over trails, treetops, and the Peabody River at a 12-percent grade and at speeds of up to 45 mph, an experience it describes as "a high-speed cable ride with a sudden, abrupt landing."

Hiking on The Way of the Wildcat Trail affords views, via a branch off, of Thompson Falls, and fishing can be enjoyed on the Peabody River.

Packages include such features as the gondola ride, lunch at the Mountainside Café, disc golf, and accommodations at the Attitash Grand Summit Hotel.

Further south on Route 16 is the Appalachian Mountain Club. Founded in Boston by Edward Pickering and 33 other outdoor enthusiasts for the later-defined purpose of "promot(ing) the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of the Appalachian region," it forged its first hiking trail in Tuckerman Ravine in 1879 and presently maintains more than 1,500 miles of them, along with huts and lodges, within the 12-chapter system that stretches from Maine to Washington, D.C. The organization, with 450 seasonal and full-time staff and 16,000 volunteers, has 100,000 members.

Its New Hampshire chapter, at the base of Mount Washington on the east side, has been a hub for hiking, climbing, skiing, and snowshoeing since the 1920s, and today maintains the Joe Dodge Lodge, a cafeteria, a gift shop, and eight mountain trail huts, and offers lectures, workshops, and outdoor skills instructions.

The Pnkham Notch Visitor center is also located here.

Story Land, another family-oriented theme park "where fairy tales come to life," is located further south, a quarter of a mile from the junction of Routes 16 and 302 in Glen.

Kids are served a buffet of rides and activities, including antique cars, Cinderella's pumpkin carriage, park plying chew-chew trains, Dr. Geyser's Remarkable Raft Ride, a Polar Coaster, Bamboo Chutes, a Whirling Whale Ride, a Crab Crawl, Oceans of Fun, Turtle Twist, Splash Battle, and Cinderella's Castle.

Its entertainment, as indicated by its colorful titles, is equally youth-oriented: Duke's Dance Party, Funsation Celebration, The Story-Bops, A Fairy Tale Fiasco, the Royal Hanneford Circus, and the Farm Follies Show.

Drinks, snacks, and meals can be purchased in several venues, including the Food Fair, the Pixie Kitchen, and the Sunny Day Farmstand.

The town of North Conway, located further south on Route 16 (also known as White Mountain Highway), is the area's most significant tourist base.

Chartered by Colonel Governor Benning Wentworth in 1765, it owes its rise to its geography, topography, and transportation access. Named after Henry Seymour Conway, a 20-year-odl Parliamentary elected official, it took root-literally-in the form of sprouting farms, like many other New England villages, after the American Revolution.

Linked to the outside world in 1872 when the Portsmouth, Great Falls, and Conway Railroad laid its tracks, it hosted the increasing number of tourists who were attracted to the area's winter sports and mountain scenery, the latter frequently captured in White Mountain Art paintings.

So identifying itself with the activities its topography fostered, it became known as "the birthplace of skiing" in 1832 and the railroad deposited up to 5,000 passenger into the town on weekends by means of its "Snow Trains."

Today, despite its compact size, it offers a number and range of services and amenities normally associated with a town triple its size. Accommodation, for example, varies from historic hostelries (such as the Stonehurst Manor and Inn, the 1785 Inn, and the Eastern Slope Inn) to familiar chains (such as the Holiday Inn Express and Marriott's Residence Inn). Restaurants run the gambit from fast food to a Bavarian Chocolate Haus, an authentic Italian eatery, and dining rooms in the historic inns themselves. Shops are just as multi-faceted-from kitchy gift shops to bookstores, the Settlers' Green Outlet Village, and the North Conway Mall. Other town offerings include art galleries, a community center with live performances, a Weather Discovery Center, a model railroad museum, and an historic railroad station.

It is from this station that visitors can step back-and ride into-the area's rich rail past.

The North Conway Scenic Railroad Station, once a transportation link to the rest of the country and currently an architectural one to the past, was the town's nucleus and center of citizens' lives, locally accessed by horse-drawn carts and wagons. Constructed in 1874 for the Portsmouth, Great Falls, and Conway and designed by Nathaniel J. Bradlee-a Boston architect of considerable notoriety-it was intended to serve the growing resort community.

The imposing, dual-towered depot, whose grandeur represents that of then-typical stations, sports a 136-year-old, attic-installed, brass and iron E. Howard clock, which seems ignorant of the track clack suspension and continues to sweep its hands 360 degrees, 365 days of the year.

Its interior, flanked on either side by winding, wooden, tower-accessing staircases, reflects its golden age with an original ticket and telegraph office, complete with vintage instruments, a passenger waiting area/museum (once the Women's Waiting Room), the Brass Whistle Gift Shop (the former Men's Waiting room), and a storage area (then the baggage room). It stands as testament to the town's railroad past and is one of the country's few remaining original and complete depots.

The 85-foot-long, compressed air motor-driven turntable, enabling a locomotive to be turned either for track alignment or 180-degree reciprocal orientation, accesses the four-stall roundhouse whose sub-track pits facilitate maintenance, repair, and servicing. Its out-of-town workers often bunk in the wheel-less baggage car next to it.

Along with the depot and the roundhouse with its turntable, the Freight House, constructed in the 1870s as a processing point for draymen-inspected cargo documents, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It presently houses the North Conway Model Railroad Club.

The Conway Scenic Railroad's fleet consists of 13 steam and diesel electric locomotives, more than 40 cars and coaches, seven privately owned cabooses, and three privately owned snow flangers.

It offers several day tourist trains during the summer season. "Valley trains," for example, either operate the one-hour, 11-mile round-trip to Conway or the one-hour, 45-minute, 21-mile return to Bartlett, while "Notch trains" penetrate Crawford Notch and make the 50-mile, five-and-a-half-hour excursion to Crawford Depot and Fabyan Station. These services use either steam or diesel electric motive power and passengers can book coach, first class, or premium/dome accommodations with three-course meals.

As befitting a town which serves winter sports enthusiasts, it features a ski resort, Mount Cranmore, in its very backyard, only a mile from the Route 16 artery which slices it.

Long associated with a unique mountain-ascending system, it had featured a fleet of 192 metal, rubber wheeled, and cable-pulled skimobiles that had climbed Mount Cranmore on a dual-section wooden trestle. Designed by George Morton, of Bartlett, New Hampshire, it had transported skies and sightseers alike, and had been the oldest operating ski lift system in North America when it ceased operations in 1989 after 51 years of continuous service.

Today, Mount Cranmore features ten lifts; 13 beginner, 25 intermediate, and 16 expert trials; and 1,200-foot vertical drops. Non-skiing attractions include an indoor Adventure Zone in its Base Lodge; a giant swing; a 3,700-foot Mountain Coaster; terrain parks; a ropes course; a four-station bungee trampoline; mountain Segway tours; a descending, 700-foot-long, dual-person zipline; and scenic chairlift rides.

The Women Men Adore - Bob Grant - Dating Book Review

If you're a woman who wants to experience greater success with males, Dr Bob Grant's, "The Women Men Adore" is for you. The title suggests that the woman is the one who has to put in effort to attract males, which sounds slightly unbecoming. Really, "The Women Men Adore" is not only the top relationship book hands down as preferred by thousands of woman looking for solutions to their relationship problems, it is also a tribute by Grant to the proactive woman who takes initiative to improve themselves or an existing relationship.

This book is for all women who are seeking to improve their love lives at any stage in a relationship. You could be:

Book For Men

A single woman who wants to attract the right man, A woman who enjoys dating and dates frequently, but can't sustain a relationship with a man, A woman who has been in a relationship for a long time but can't figure out why her partner isn't "popping the question," A woman who is married and seeks to rekindle the passion in a relationship.

The Women Men Adore - Bob Grant - Dating Book Review

Probably the most surprising aspect of Grant's "The Women Men Adore" is the notion that a woman does not have to compromise her dignity or behave in a manner that she is not used to; Grant is different from other relationship experts in the fact that he greatly respects the severity women take towards having a fulfilling relationship and matches it with a no-nonsense approach and straight-forward tone. Out of the top three dating e-books currently on the Internet, only Grant offers his first chapter free to prospects, demonstrating his confidence in "The Women Men Adore."

And why shouldn't he? "The Women Men Adore" is a "relationship manual" that is easy to follow. Most of the insights Grant explores in his book are profound and instead of traditional hype, women will learn more about themselves and why most of the problems they experience in relationships are self-imposed. If anything, "The Women Men Adore" is the key to emancipating all women who think they have to step up to male standards, when really, Grant suggests that it is the other way around. For every page that is read, the key turns. For every exercise that women practice from "The Women Men Adore", the more than their female identity is restored.

The cost that "The Women Men Adore" sells for belies the joy that women experience upon reading the book. Filled with epiphanies waiting to be happen, "The Women Men Adore" helps women to improve themselves more than anything, so that the prospect of attracting a male or improving an existing relationship with a male becomes a walk in the park.

The Women Men Adore - Bob Grant - Dating Book Review 'Innocence of Muslims' Trailer [HD] - Egypt Protest Film Video Clips. Duration : 1.53 Mins.
Rating: 1.889356


The movie, "Innocence of Muslims," that mocks and insults the Prophet Muhammad caused demonstrators to attack a US consulate in Libya, killing one American, and breached the walls of the US Embassy in Cairo. Angry protests over the film by a US producer, directed and produced by an Israeli-American real-estate developer who characterized it as a political effort to call attention to the hypocrisies of Islam. It has been promoted by Terry Jones, the Florida pastor whose burning of Qurans previously sparked deadly riots around the world. In Benghazi, Libya, several dozen gunmen from an Islamist group, Ansar al Sharia, attacked the consulate with rocket-propelled grenades to protest the film, a deputy interior minister for the Benghazi region told the Al-Jazeera network. A government brigade evacuated the consulate, after which militants set it on fire, said the minister, Wanees Sharef. One State Department officer was killed in the attack in Benghazi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday night. Mrs. Clinton said the State Department was working with Libyans to secure the compound and protect Americans in Libya. To the east, in Cairo, a crowd of some 2000 people gathered at the Embassy to protest the video. Some of them climbed the embassy walls late Tuesday, pulling down and burning an American flag. Hours after nightfall, dozens of young men remained standing on top of the embassy walls, shouting into megaphones. One of the youths climbed up the flagpole to ...

College Hockey Betting Lines

Some hockey bettors think that the only existing hockey league on the planet where they could place their bets is the National Hockey League. Contrary to the perception, there is a popular college league for hockey where you can also bet on.

The peak season for college hockey betting lines is during the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship. Founded in 1906, the National Collegiate Athletic Association is composed of more than 1,000 academic institutions from the United States and Canada, and this has been organized to develop athletic programs for its member colleges and universities, as well as scholarship grants to athletic students of these academes. Despite more than a century of existence, ice hockey has only been introduced as one of the competitions in the NCAA in 1948. Now there are 17 colleges and universities that are pitted against each other in the 1st Division of the NCAA Ice Hockey Tournament. With the reception of students and the alumni of these colleges, the NCAA Ice Hockey Tournament has gained popularity and a lot of followers; thus, betting lines were also opened for college hockey.

Book For Men

Every October, hockey betting gets to rise to its peak due to the various activities being held on these hockey leagues. The NCAA marks this month to be its championship season, so sports books, or places where bettors can bet on certain sports teams, usually open their betting lines on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to those who are interested to bet on hockey games. Earning money by betting on college hockey leagues may be smaller compared to betting on professional leagues in terms of opportunities, but the process of betting is the same on both major and minor leagues.

College Hockey Betting Lines

Betting on a college hockey league is just like betting on any sport like basketball, football, and baseball. Most especially if you already have an experience on betting on a major league hockey, then you will just find this one easy. There are different ways on how you can place your bet on a college hockey game. The first one is through the money line, which is the most basic betting line that even newbies can easily grasp. To explain this further, if there is a game between Harvard and Boston University, the sports book will assess the standings and the statistics of these teams and will assign values for both. If Boston University is the more favored team, then it gets a negative value; Harvard, being the underdog, will get a positive value. How does that work? If you bet on the favorite team, you have to pay the amount stated as a negative value to earn 0 if the team wins. On the other hand, if you bet on the underdog, you only have to give 0 to earn the value stated. The other betting lines include puck line and totals line, which are both concerned about the goals made by the teams. These two are more complicated than money line, but these are regarded as the most popular betting lines.

Earning money from a betting on a college hockey game is easy, but it can be easier if you know a stable and reliable system that can help you in waging your money fast.

Book For Men

While it isn't all about looks, there is no denying that it is an important part of getting more men to want you.

Dress to impress.

There is the saying that you should dress to impress if you are wanting to get a job. The same goes for a man. You want to dress to impress. Do this by wearing nice clothes. They don't have to be expensive and they don't have to be designer clothes. They only need to be a step above.

Use what you have.

You are beautiful, even if you don't believe it. You need to take the time to identify the features that you like about yourself. Then play with your make up, your hair, and your clothing to highlight and bring attention to the features you like the most.

Don't forget the rest of you.

So many women focus on their looks and forget about the rest of themselves. While looks do matter, most guys are also interested in the rest of you. This means that you can't forget those things.

Rating: 4.667593


On Tuesday night in Charlotte, North Carolina, Michelle Obama gave one of the finest speeches ever delivered at a national political convention. More important, it could have more impact on the immediate future of the country than her husband's celebrated 2004 keynote address to the Democratic National Convention in Boston. In short, Michelle Obama has redefined black women Tuesday night, a woman with the singular American title of first lady may have opened a path for her husband back into the hearts of those who had such high hopes for his audacity. 米歇爾·奧巴馬講話 ミシェル·オバマのスピーチHer speech tied the Obamas' personal stories directly to the lives of millions of voters struggling not to be the first generation of Americans unable to offer hope of greater opportunities to their children than they had, thus drawing a contrast with Mitt Romney as an unnamed but unmistakable caricature of privilege without shading her talk with negativity or animosity. In fact the overall emotion, and there was far more real as opposed to rhetorical emotion than any speech at this level in memory, was a feeling rarely conveyed in our political language today -- love. The first lady's speech already has a place in the history books. But does it explain why it may actually change what will be written in them. Should that occur, it will be because almost for the first time in four years, she single-handedly brought Democrats to tears and to their feet at the idea of Barack Obama as ...

Your Boyfriend - Tips For Making Him Fall in Love With You

If you have a boyfriend that you are absolutely crazy about but his interest doesn't seem to be at the same level as yours, it can be frustrating. No woman wants to find herself involved with a man who feels lukewarm towards her. You obviously want him to be head over heels, just the way you are. If you find yourself struggling in a situation like this there are tips for making him fall in love with you that really work.

We've all heard about the merits of playing hard to get but we typically brush it off as being old fashioned or a little underhanded. The fact of the matter is when you are looking for ways of making him fall in love with you, playing hard to get works. It works amazing well! The key to getting the most out of it is knowing exactly how to do it effectively. You have to make yourself easily accessible part of the time and very elusive the rest of the time. Be mysterious without coming across as a closed book. Keep him guessing about what's going on with you and he'll be hooked. This means that if you've been constantly available to your man, become less available. Tell him that you have plans if he's looking to get together with you at the last minute. Don't always pick up his calls and keep a few secrets. If you can do this, he'll constantly be chasing you until he finds himself in love.

You also have to be different than every other woman he's ever dated. This isn't as difficult as it seems. Men are accustomed to being with women who have self esteem issues. They expect to hear some complaints if they want to hang out with their guy friends or if they glance at a pretty woman while in your presence. If you can change your attitude and your actions he'll be blown away. Show him that he still has his freedom and he'll want less of it. Allow him the time he needs to do his own thing while you do yours. If you act confident in the relationship, he'll become more devoted to you.

Sister Missionary Gift Ideas

The LDS church not only has young men who go out and serve missions but also have young women who leave their families to serve missions too. These young women missionaries are referred to as "sister missionaries" and they serve for 18 months. Essentially, their service is similar to the young men or "elders" in that they preach the gospel and serve the people in the area they are called to serve.

During the 18 months these young women are away from home they miss out on birthdays, holidays and other important celebrations with their family and loved ones.

Book For Men

Like most other people, sisters enjoy getting packages and gifts from home letting them know that their family is thinking of them. Birthdays and holidays are the perfect time to get your sister missionary that special gift. However, because the lifestyle and mission rules of sisters are very restrictive shopping for that perfect gift can be difficult. Below are some simple ideas to help make this process a little easier when buying a gift for your sister missionary:

Sister Missionary Gift Ideas

-Snacks: consider putting together a package with her favorite snacks. Be sure to include healthy snacks as well. She has a missionary companion so remember to send some extra snacks for her to share with her companion.

-Photo Book/Journal: sister missionaries spend 18 months away from home and miss out on family activities and traditions. One idea to help include your sister missionary is to put together a photo book/journal documenting these special times in your family with accounts from each family member sharing their thoughts and feeling of the occasion. Be sure to include pictures as well, pictures are worth a thousand words. This kind of gift will prove to be a favorite and will last forever.

-Fitness: Another thing that would be much appreciated is anything to help with their fitness needs. Sister missionaries are given 30-minutes each morning to exercise. It's difficult to come up with exercises without having the right tools. Small, lightweight and portable fitness equipment such as a jump rope or exercise tubing will give your sister missionary the gift of fitness allowing her to be more healthy and productive as she serves.

Above all else, be creative and thoughtful when selecting a gift for your sister missionary and make sure that it comes from the heart. These gifts will be a welcomed sight for any LDS sister missionary.

5 Typical Things Women Say to Men and What They Mean

I often say that women give the best pick up advice, as long as you don't listen to what they tell you to do. Women give their advice through their reactions. They also give their advice to you through what they say, you just have to know how to translate it.

So today in part one of my 3 part series on "Speaking Womanese" we're going to look at some typical things women say when meeting new men, and what they actually mean.

Book For Men

1. " I have a boyfriend".

5 Typical Things Women Say to Men and What They Mean

This particular phrase can mean a variety of things based on when and how it is brought up in the conversation. The first realization you have to make about girls telling you they have boyfriends, is that it's not always true. Often times the girl will say she has a boyfriend just to avoid having to be rude or waste her time entertaining a guy she's not interested in all night. Women will also say things like "we're lesbians" or "we're together" to get rid of you in a socially acceptable way.

If a woman tells you she has a boyfriend REALLY early on in the conversation (like in the first 3 minutes or less) she really means "I'm not interested in you romantically". Women hate social awkwardness, so if she's really not into the conversation and she can tell you're hitting on her, saying she has a boyfriend is a nice friendly way out of the discomfort.

If a woman tells you she has a boyfriend when you are trying to escalate the interaction(by getting a phone number or trying to get her to leave with you) it generally means one of two things. Either she has let the interaction go further than she intended and she wants to let you know you don't have a chance. Or she is trying to let you know that this may be a one time thing.

If a woman casually mentions a boyfriend by saying something like "my boyfriend and I" or "we like to.." then she is generally just letting you know the situation but may still be open to escalating the interaction. At which point it becomes an issue of morality outside the scope of this newsletter :

2. "We're not having sex tonight!"

If a woman tells you she's not going to have sex with you, she's already thinking about it. Women throw up the "we're not having sex tonight." objection because they realize that things are starting to heat up between the two of you. They do this because they have to be able to maintain plausible deniability. Maintaining plausible deniability means that you always take responsibility for escalation. This goes for everything from making the first approach, to giving her an excuse she can tell her friends about why she left the club with you. Everything is your responsibility. She was going over to save some money on drinks "or " have a nightcap before she headed home." But then "one thing led to another..."

So when she says "we're not having sex tonight" she means " I want you to convince me that there won't be any consequences for me if I have sex with you tonight." This is where showing a girl that you don't kiss and tell is crucial. You have to show the girl that you are not going to hurt her reputation or lose respect for her if she sleeps with you.

If a woman tells you she's not having sex with you tonight, you should always respond " I was just about to tell you the same thing." Ideally though you want to tell the girl that you're not having sex with her first. I always treat that statement like the finish line of a race you want to get to first.

3. " I don't (kiss, have sex, have a threesome with midgets) on the (first night, first date, 3rd date).

When a woman gives you a rule like " I don't kiss on the first date." Or " I don't have sex until the 3rd date." She is sending a clear message. She is not sure about you. She doesn't necessarily know if she sees you in her life long term or if you're just some guy she'll go on a couple of dates with and forget. So because of this she's starting to lay down rules. Now some girls actually do have rules about their dating lives, but most don't. Most women simply go with what's bringing in the most good emotions. If she's starting to get all logical she's not that into you...

If a woman says something like this, it's a great opportunity to inject some humor and flip the script on the girl. If a girl ever gives me a rule, I just respond " Cool is that you're only rule or do you have more before I get to tell you mine?" Now sometimes she'll have some more rules, but once she's done I'll give her a ridiculous list of rules that I have until she's laughing so hard she's forgotten what we were talking about. The more random and funny the better. Some of my favorites are enforcing a casual dress Fridays where she's not allowed to wear pants, reminding her that Tuesday is "Feed Jon Grapes and Fan him day" and more.

4. " You're a (jerk, player, dirty old man)

When a woman playfully insults you or accuses you of being a jerk, player, dirty old man, whatever... she's actually saying " I'm kinda attracted to you and I want to see if you're really cool, or pretending." Because men can lie, women have to have a way of figuring out which guys are actually cool, and which guys are faking it. So when you are getting attraction from girls early on, they will often "test" you.

The best way to deal with tests from women is to agree and exaggerate. What most guys do wrong is they disagree and then try to show a girl how they're not a jerk or a player. This is bad because it sets an underlying theme of you trying to live up to her expectations instead of vice versa. So instead you always agree when a woman accuses or insults you. Then you exaggerate the comment to absurdity. So for example if a girl accuses you of being a player, you can say " Yeah I'm actually pretty booked up right now but I can slot you in next Thursday if you promise to be good. " or " Yeah, I was actually recently voted the 6th biggest player in a mid major city by people magazine."

5. "Let's Just be Friends."

When a girl you've just met tells you that she just wants to be friends, what she really means is that she's not interested in you at all. Most people, especially attractive women don't make friends from failed pickup attempts. The fact that she's suggesting being friends means that she's not interested in you romantically. Plus she's worried that you're expecting something more. If a girl tells you she just wants to be friends you're pretty much out of luck. In rare circumstances you can escape the friend zone, but you are officially out of the "Ultimate Relationship Proposition" category. So if you actually do want to be friends with her(without it being part of a long term seduction plan) then continue to get her phone number and try to hang out with her. Just be sure to mention that you are only trying to be her friend, lest she suspect you're trying to get in her pants. It also may be a good idea to hang out with her in a mixed group of your friends and her friends. This will help it feel less like a date the first couple of times you guys hang out. Female friends are a huge blessing. I highly recommend that everyone reading this makes friends with at least 5 women you're interested in.

OK, so that sums up what women really mean when they say things like " we're not having sex tonight" or " Let's Just Be Friends." Next time I'm going to be breaking down how women communicate using body language, eye contact and spatial relevance.

Till next time,

Book Club Names - Find Great, Funny and Creative Names For Your Book Club

Many reading groups struggle to find great book club names. Others may not even know they need them. But the truth is, simply calling your book discussion group a "reading club" is no fun and it might limit your membership.

With a creative name, you'll be able to attract more members. Plus, you'll give your group its own unique identity. This can help decide which direction your reading lists will go, where your meeting will occur and much more!

Book For Men

One of the best ways to come up with creative or funny book club names is to think about what makes your group unique.

Book Club Names - Find Great, Funny and Creative Names For Your Book Club

A club that meets at lunch could be called the Lunch Bunch. One that meets over dinner could be the Restaurant Readers. One that meets at the library could be the Library Ladies. A group of teachers might call themselves the Teacher's Pets.

A reading group that likes to laugh a lot might be named the Giggle Girls or the Laughing Ladies. One made up of all men could be called the Mighty Men, while a club of all women might be the Wonder Women.

Many clever book club names also play off of book puns. For example, the Book Wormers or Book Marks.

Remember, a great name doesn't have to be serious or literal. Just remember to think outside the box and be creative. The most important thing when choosing a name is to think about what makes your group different and embrace it!

Once you have your name, use that to set the tone and objectives of your club. Remember, your name is the springboard to finding your club's true identity.
