			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Propelled by the growth of Facebook Inc. and LinkedIn Corp., social networks are now more popular than e-mailing on the Internet. Nielsen said social networking “member communities” are attracting 67 percent of Internet users while e-mail is at 65 percent. The study found that of Internet users throughout the world, two-thirds visited a social networking site last year. Of those, Palo Alto, Calif.-based <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-567" title="MZ" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/mz.jpg?w=300&#038;h=213" alt="MZ" width="300" height="213" />Facebook is the leader, with visits every month by three of every 10 Internet users, the Nielsen study reported. In fact, Facebook had a 168 percent increase in users, the study said, while Mountain View-based LinkedIn had a 137 percent increase. The biggest growth spurt for Facebook has been in the category of users from 35 to 49 years old.</p>
<p>Facebook has had its fifth birthday. There are more middle age people using social networks, alot on Bebo but I think more as their kids are, I personally think Bebo is for the younger ones, more middle age people are migrating to Facebook, i think you will find its because the UI is far more appealing and grown up. Maybe you didn&#8217;t get it in your news feed, but it was in February 2004 that Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg, along with some classmates, launched the social network that ate the world. Did he realize back then in his dorm that he was witnessing merely the larval stage of his <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-568" title="images" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/images.jpg?w=150&#038;h=56" alt="images" width="150" height="56" />creation? For what began with college students has found its fullest, richest expression with us, the middle-aged.  Facebook started as a website connecting students, enabling them to keep in touch and chat. However, as a student, the appeal of using this website for what it was originally designed for, has worn off, is it officially &#8216;uncool&#8217; to have Facebook?? “My friends and I refuse to go on Facebook, as our mums and dads check up on what we&#8217;re up to and my privacy is beginning to suffer. With Facebook nothing in life is kept private, from relationship status to favourite book.” Are middle aged people simply jumping on the bandwagon?</p>
<p>I understand that they want to keep up with photos of their families and friends, but is Facebook the only way? Facebook could have lost the plot; it was designed for students communicating.  It should be used to arrange a drink with friends but has turned into a stalker&#8217;s <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-569" title="Students" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/students.jpg?w=300&#038;h=224" alt="Students" width="300" height="224" />heaven. And now with new applications being added weekly, like Botox trying to look younger, it has lost its simplicity, which is what I loved about it. How annoying does it become when everyone and their dog is taking a quiz or playing an application and challenging you, its just much, I don’t really care what people are doing!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes yes, sometimes no.</p>
<p>Circumcised penis tends to have an erect head that is more &#8220;squared off&#8221; and larger while uncircumcised penis tends to have an erect head that tapers to a more round cone like head.</p>
<p>They are both the same. Both good.</p>
<p>Uncircumcised men will need better penis hygeine do to smegma a natural secretion between the foreskin and the glans penis -head of the penis. The slang term for smegma is &#8220;head cheese&#8221; and it can be very nasty smelling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Breakfast is a Great habit to have! It has been said many times, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After a long period without eating your blood sugar levels will be low. Skipping breakfast can mean your body will start to crave something sweet and you&#8217;ll end up snacking on unhealthy foods. Start the day with a filling and nutritious meal and you will give your metabolism a kick start. I get up at about 6am have breakfast and then do a little excersise. You&#8217;ll feel full until lunch time with no temptation to snack your way <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-554" title="2255_medium" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/2255_medium.jpg?w=300&#038;h=272" alt="2255_medium" width="300" height="272" />through the morning. Some studies have also shown that eating breakfast (high carbohydrate/low fat) can make you more alert and assertive to face the day. Overcome the reasons not to have breakfast and make it part of your day. If you&#8217;re too busy in the morning, prepare as much as you can the night before. If you can&#8217;t stomach anything first thing try just a glass of pure, unsweetened fruit juice, a banana, yoghurt or slice of toast. Get into the habit of trying different dishes at breakfast and enjoy it!</p>
<p>Breakfast Cereals, go for a low-calorie muesli (no added sugar or salt) or a high fibre cereal &#8211; such as Weetabix or Shredded Wheat  with semi skimmed or skimmed milk.  Add some fresh fruit &#8211; a sliced banana or dried apricots &#8211; to add natural sweetness and help you resist the sugar. (They also count towards your daily fruit and vegetable quota). Check out our Tried and Tasted Breakfast Cereals. Fresh Fruit Salad, fresh fruit salad will provide a slow release of energy to get you through until lunchtime and also give you a healthy top up of vitamins and minerals. This healthy choice will motivate you to make healthy choices throughout the day. Peel and slice a few of your favourite fruits, top with a dollop of natural bio-yoghurt and enjoy with a slice of bread and honey. Alternatively, if you&#8217;ve got a blender, pop the peeled and cored fruit in with the yoghurt and teaspoon of honey and make a delicious fresh smoothie.</p>
<p>Egg and Soldiers, thats my fav! Egg and soldiers isn&#8217;t all bad. Eggs are an excellent and compact source of nutrients, are relatively low in <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-555" title="egs" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/egs.jpg?w=82&#038;h=123" alt="egs" width="82" height="123" />calories (75kcals each if boiled / poached) and contain very little saturated fat. Use wholemeal bread for the &#8220;soldiers&#8221; and resist the butter / spread &#8211; try marmite instead! Accompany with a glass of fruit or vegetable juice. Traditional English, you don&#8217;t have to miss out on your traditional Sunday breakfast. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with a cooked breakfast as long as it&#8217;s a &#8220;grill up&#8221;, not a &#8220;fry up&#8221; &#8211; fried foods hold the fat! Lean bacon is a good source of protein, trim the fat and grill. Eggs contain iron and calcium &#8211; to get the benefits poach or boil. Add some low-sugar, low-salt baked beans and a grilled tomato. <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-556" title="rawjuice" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/rawjuice.jpg?w=296&#038;h=300" alt="rawjuice" width="296" height="300" />Accompany with some toasted wholemeal bread and a glass of unsweetened fruit juice. Let your breakfast digest and then enjoy a Sunday morning walk (depending on your weight you&#8217;ll burn between 90-190kcals walking moderately for 30 minutes).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How tough is it to lose stomach fat?  let me be honest I dont really have a big problem, I have a small sort of approaching round thing forming, best results seen when sitting in my computer chair typing my blog or in the shower when everything hangs and looks its worse.  <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-548" title="stomach-1" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/stomach-1.jpg?w=124&#038;h=124" alt="stomach-1" width="124" height="124" />Its not bad enough that anyone knows apart from me, its still simple to naturally pull it in and lift it up without anyone else noticing. This is all about getting into good habits, the older you get you do need to be more aware of changing aspects of your body and the everyday habits that you collect over the years and that routine you get in to.</p>
<p>Well the first unfortunate fact is it’s the last fat to go, which will immediately let you understand its going to be tough and withoout doubt you need to work at it. Your stomach will shrink as you lose weight, but to get a lean chiseled look, you will have to bring your body fat levels down near the single digit margin. Stomach fat manifests differently in each individual. Men, for the most part, gain weight in the stomach region, first. For most women, fat begins showing in the thigh and butt areas. There are exceptions, of course, but all the same to make that tummy tighter and firmer, weight loss must occur in all areas.  A small change in diet and daily habits can have an astounding weight loss and body firming effect. Depending on what activities you engage in, and even “more importantly” what activities you disengage doing can mean the difference between weight loss success and failure.  If you’re not currently exercising, you may want to begin incorporating a daily walk of about 30 minutes after your last meal. This jumpstarts your metabolism and helps shuttle that food into your cells for energy use. Weight loss begins with small efforts. It’s not prudent to push too hard at the beginning of any new weight loss program.  Let’s dispel the big myth: You cannot spot reduce fat. What that means is, if you watch those late night infomercials and see them advertising an abdominal-concoction, don’t buy it. Working your abs six days a week, as a general rule, will not remove the fat that covers them.  For even faster weight loss and tummy fat reduction, cut out late night eating. Do not eat within 2 hours of your bedtime, whenever that may be. Drink more water, 10 to 12 cups daily. Cut down on sugary fizzy drinks. If you absolutely have to drink a fizzy drinks, go for the diet version. If you don’t like diet, don’t drink fizzy drinks.  <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-549" title="stomach-2" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/stomach-2.jpg?w=93&#038;h=118" alt="stomach-2" width="93" height="118" />Your body will lose fat evenly, over time. The good news is you don’t have to change the whole world. For maximum weight loss to occur you only need consistency, to do the same things over and over again. These simple weight loss tips will get you started and help you consistently lose more and more stomach fat, as long as you stick with them. So lets go, im taking some pictures of the before and after &#8230;. that should be quite entertaining.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Restricting calorie intake in middle age will lengthen life, be sensible and take care of that body or pay the consequences, but remember dont leave it too late!</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-530" title="full-english" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/full-english.jpg?w=121&#038;h=98" alt="full-english" width="121" height="98" />It had previously been suggested keeping your calorie intake to a minimum had to begin earlier to have an impact. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Research on mice, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed reducing calories later on life still prolonged lifespan. Dietary experts said more evidence was needed into the effect on humans. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Proponents of the theory of Caloric restriction (CR) claim that a diet which keeps the number of calories to a bare minimum while ensuring the required amount of nutrition is taken on board lengthens life. </span></p>
<p>I would avoid the weight loss drugs, I do not recommend them <a href="void(0)">as theyre </a>dangerous, however I suppose in some extreme cases with certain obese people the benefits may outweigh the negative side effects.</p>
<p>Here is where I believe the majority of people go wrong when trying to lose weight.</p>
<p>First most people consume way <a href="void(0)">too</a> many carbohydrates and they don&#8217;t take in enough protein on whatever diet they <a href="void(0)">are</a> on so in effect they are causing their bodies to instead of burning fat to burn lean muscle.  <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-531" title="sandwich" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/sandwich.jpg?w=150&#038;h=113" alt="sandwich" width="150" height="113" /></p>
<p>In effect lean muscle burns at rest about 17 times more calories per day at rest than the same amount of fat. The amount of muscle you have greatly determines your metabolism and how many calories your body burns each day. This is why people when they come off their diet and start eating regularly again they can put the weight right back on as their body is now naturally burning less calories than before. In effect they have slowed down their metabolism. This is especially true it seems of women who have less natural muscle mass than men.</p>
<p>This explains why the Atkins diet <a href="void(0)">is</a> so effective. It cuts out a lot of the carbohydrates, which because people often eat too many of them cause weight gain. And by eating more protein it is making sure that you don&#8217;t lose any muscle and may even gain some additional muscle mass.</p>
<p>The second major factor why people don’t lose weight is lack of exercise and to a lesser degree the wrong types of exercise. For example a brisk walk can cause your body to go into the fat burning state called ketosis better than running will. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-533" title="excers" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/excers.jpg?w=128&#038;h=85" alt="excers" width="128" height="85" /></p>
<p>We earlier discussed how important muscle mass was in maintaining a healthy weight. This is why light resistance exercises (weight training) is so effective in losing weight because it help you add muscle mass. This doesn’t have to be massive amounts of weight, any light resistance amount of weight can be effective at adding muscle.</p>
<p>This is why men and women who participate even in light resistance exercises 2-3 times a week for 15-20 minutes almost always lose weight when they combine this with their weight loss program. This has been our observation over the last 10 years or so.</p>
<p>So to sum it up, the formula to lose weight is fairly simple, following it is much more difficult.</p>
<p>Cut your excess carbs, eat more protein and do moderate exercise like walking and light resistance exercises like weights. Do this and control what you eat and you will lose weight.</p>
<p>Now there are a number of weight loss products on the market that can help facilitate your weight loss, but unless you are willing to do what we just mentioned, you will not achieve your total weight loss goal.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-534" title="excer" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/excer.jpg?w=126&#038;h=102" alt="excer" width="126" height="102" />This is not to say particular products aren&#8217;t effective as they may prevent you from adding additional pounds or even help you lose a few pounds. Also is the issue of carbs, we are not idiots here, we realize carbohydrates are used for energy. However, the bottom line is most people consume much more carbohydrates then they need on a daily basis and the excess gets converted to fat. You know the story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why is it that some people get so much done in a day while others operate at a hectic pace with little to show for it? Strange as it may seem, the answer may lie in too much multitasking.  During a recent training session I listened to a group of middle managers talk about how their days always felt chaotic. Bouncing from task to task seemed to be the norm as they struggled to meet deadlines.  This was déjà vu: I&#8217;ve heard this in workshops for years. The dilemma of finding effective time management techniques appears to be eternal. The <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-536" title="multitasking" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/multitasking.jpg?w=270&#038;h=300" alt="multitasking" width="270" height="300" />problem, in my opinion, is that time management is like an inkblot: What is defined as an effective technique by one person may be deemed totally useless by another.  As the training session continued we concluded that no magic bullet exists. No single technique works for everybody. But I did point out that for all its hype in the 80s and 90s, multitasking has proven to be highly overrated. In fact, it&#8217;s been proven that bouncing back and forth between tasks actually lowers effectiveness and productivity.  I first became aware of this through a conversation with Robert Croker, Ed.D., chair of the Human Resource Training and Development department at Idaho State University. Croker, who is certified in brain-based learning, says that the brain is not designed for multitasking.  &#8220;It&#8217;s a common misconception is that a brain is like a computer,&#8221; Croker says. &#8220;A computer is designed to multitask. A human brain is not designed to function optimally in a multitask environment.&#8221;  The myths of multitasking are further discussed in the Journal of Experimental Psychology and in the science journal NeuroImage. Research appearing in these publications has found that each time a person switches back and forth between tasks, the brain goes through several time-consuming activities, including:      * a selection process for choosing a new activity,     * turning off the mental rules needed to do the first task,     * turning on the mental rules needed to do the second task,     * orienting itself to the conditions currently surrounding the new task  Research indicates that jumping back and forth between tasks can take four times longer to accomplish them—simply due to the time required for switching gears.   Furthermore, research shows that the quality of completed tasks becomes severely diminished when trying to do two tasks simultaneously. Just think of how effective you are at making driving decisions while you&#8217;re talking on your mobile phone and you&#8217;ll know what they mean.  It&#8217;s turning out that maximum productivity is more likely to be a result of better planning.  One of my favorite time management tips often causes people to shudder, but it creates an excellent environment for better planning. The tip comes from workplace-organizer guru Julie Morgenstern, and it&#8217;s simply this: Never check e-mail first thing in the morning.  Before you write off this technique as hare-brained, consider the results discovered by one group of managers who squawked pretty loudly when I first suggested this to them. After writing off the idea as &#8220;not possible,&#8221; the powers of the heavens must have snickered when the group&#8217;s e-mail server went down the following Monday. It wasn&#8217;t just the morning, checking and sending e-mail became &#8220;not possible&#8221; for an entire day.  Met with these managers later that week the team&#8217;s leader proclaimed, &#8220;We got so much work done this past Monday— I think we should make every Monday to be ‘no e-mail day.&#8217;&#8221; Those words would make Morgenstern proud.   But it doesn&#8217;t have to be that extreme. The idea is to simply set aside time at the beginning of your day and evaluate the work before you. Then ask yourself: What will bring the biggest financial return for your efforts? If you could put only one thing on your to-do list and still be productive, what would that one thing be?  Morgenstern recommends taking the time to get that profit-generating work done—and she means &#8220;done&#8221; as in task accomplished—before switching your mental gears to check e-mail.  Think about it: When it comes to getting sidetracked, e-mail is a major culprit. The work that makes you money should come first.  But even after completing your most important task, stopping to check e-mail five, eight, twelve times a day requires an awful lot of brain switching—a.k.a wasted time. With this knowledge, it&#8217;s easy to see why Morgenstern recommends establishing no more than four regular times that we check e-mail throughout the day.  One highly effective workplace I know of established a policy to check e-mail only three times a day. At 11:00 a.m. so they can dedicate an hour to written correspondence before lunch; at 1:00 p.m. to reply to any follow-up responses; and again at 4:00 p.m. so they can make adjustments to their next day&#8217;s schedule.  They tell clients and vendors up front of this policy so everyone knows what to expect.  Interestingly, employees at this company that fudge on this policy and check e-mail throughout the day are not as productive—and can&#8217;t seem to figure out how the other people get so much more done.   Bottom line, multitasking has been proven to make us less effective, not more. And although e-mail can be a huge time saver, it can also be a huge time-waster if we become its slave instead of its master.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know that argument some have, that a man&#8217;s foot size is directly related to the size of his nether regions? That argument that would suggest that a fellow wearing a size 11 boot would be directly proportional in inches in the bedroom. Or that argument that black men are the more well-endowed race, and the Asians the least?</p>
<p class="StoryText" align="justify">Those who believe it are prepared to swear by it, and those who don&#8217;t, cite good sense as reason to doubt.</p>
<p class="StoryText" align="justify">But what is the truth? In fact, research has managed to deflate a few of the myths about male genitalia &#8211; including that penis size varies according to race. Recent research, conducted by Drs Kevan Wylie and Ian Eardley of the Porterback Clinic and Royal Hallamshire Hospital in the United Kingdom, detailed in the British Journal of Urology (BJU) International, showed that race was not found to be a factor in penis size at all.</p>
<p class="StoryText" align="justify">But then, Louis Jacolliet, a 19th century French writer who spent three decades investigating penis size, said: &#8220;In no branch of the human race are the male organs more developed than in the African Negro.&#8221;</p>
<p class="StoryText" align="justify">Sexologist Alfred Kinsey went into more detail about size in one of his reports, stating that the average white male has a penis measuring <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-522" title="8toptoe" src="http://middleagescottishneanderthal.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/8toptoe.jpg?w=210&#038;h=300" alt="8toptoe" width="210" height="300" />6.2 inches long and 3.7 inches around, whereas the average black male has a penis 6.3 by 3.8 inches. When it came to flaccid length, however, blacks fared a little better: 4.3 inches long, versus 4.0 inches for white males.</p>
<p class="StoryText" align="justify">So who do you believe?</p>
<p class="StoryText" align="justify">The BJU had another UK study published, that concluded that the size of a man&#8217;s penis does not correlate to his shoe size despite popular opinion. Researchers measured the foot size of men who wear size eight through 13 shoes and compared the foot size to the size of the men&#8217;s penises, according to the report. There was no obvious correspondence, and the correlation was said to have no scientific basis.</p>
<p class="StoryText" align="justify">Notwithstanding, there are women who firmly believe that there is a correlation. And who are we to argue? Some women, albeit a small minority, also believe that penis size is also correlated to a man&#8217;s finger length or hand span.<br />
all woman took to the streets of Ocho Rios to get your views on whether a man&#8217;s shoe size determines his penis size.</p>
