男女约会总是浪漫无尽的事情

男女约会总是浪漫无尽的事情,很多人的想象中总对男女朋友约会充满幻想,在实际中,却免不了遇到这样那样的尴尬事情,其中,男女朋友约会时最尴尬的又是哪十件事情呢?

  尴尬一:尴尬指数 十颗星
  天赐良机:下雨,她又没带伞。
  于是他自告奋勇骑车送她回家,她坐在后座上为他打伞。多浪漫!
  没走几步,一起跌到水坑里。于是她打车先走了,
  他自己扛着车子回家。 


  尴尬二:尴尬指数 九颗星
  请客吃饭,当然她也在。酒足饭饱,他喊了一声:这顿我请了!
  主动跑到总台去付帐,回来的时候后面跟了个小姐。因为钱不够。
  女:“还是我来吧!”

尴尬三:尴尬指数 八颗星
  他换了一身新衣服,在楼下等她。
  为了给她一个“惊喜”,他决定从树后跳出来吓她一下。
  谁知跳出来的时候正巧踩在西瓜皮上,自己坐在水坑里不说,还溅了她一身的泥点。 

尴尬四:尴尬指数 十颗星
  车上人很多,他本来靠近里面,不怎么挤。
  但是突然发现门口上来一位靓女!
  于是费尽心思向车门口挤。终于挤到她身边了,还没来得及仔细瞧,她终于忍不住了,
吐了他一身,然后说了句对不起就下车了。  

....... email if you want to know more ... :)  

The Fact of kissing ! --- Mwaaak!!!

10 quirky facts about kissingBy Laura Schaefer Think you know a thing or two about kissing? You probably do. But the facts below are so off the beaten path, we’ll bet you don’t know them all—and they could come in handy. Not only could they provide some steamy “Did you know…?” chit chat, but they’ll help you see all the benefits a satisfying lip lock can bring into your life. Happy smooching!

1. Two out of every three couples turn their heads to the right when they kiss.

2. A simple peck uses two muscles; a passionate kiss, on the other hand, uses all 34 muscles in your face. Now that’s a rigorous workout!

3. Like fingerprints or snowflakes, no two lip impressions are alike.

4. Kissing is good for what ails you. Research shows that the act of smooching improves our skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches.

5. The average person spends 336 hours of his or her life kissing.

6. Ever wonder how an “X” came to represent a kiss? Starting in the Middle Ages, people who could not read used an X as a signature. They would kiss this mark as a sign of sincerity. Eventually, the X came to represent the kiss itself.

7. Talk about a rush! Kissing releases the same neurotransmitters in our brains as parachuting, bungee jumping, and running.

8. The average woman kisses 29 men before she gets married.

9. Men who kiss their partners before leaving for work average higher incomes than those who don’t.

10. The longest kiss in movie history was between Jane Wyman and Regis Tommey in the 1941 film, You’re in the Army Now. It lasted 3 minutes and 5 seconds. So if you’ve beaten that record, it’s time to celebrate! Laura Schaefer is the author of Man with Farm Seeks Woman with Tractor: The Best and Worst Personal Ads of All Time.

What wikipedia said ... >>

The mineral graphite, as with diamond and fullerene, is one of the allotropes of carbon. It was named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789 from the Greek γραφειν (graphein): "to draw/write", for its use in pencils, where it is commonly called lead, as distinguished from the actual metallic element lead. Unlike diamond, graphite is an electrical conductor, and can be used, for instance, in the electrodes of an arc lamp. Graphite holds the distinction of being the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions. Therefore, it is used in thermochemistry as the standard state for defining the heat of formation of carbon compounds. Graphite may be considered the highest grade of coal, just above anthracite and alternatively called meta-anthracite, although it is not normally used as fuel because it is hard to ignite.
There are three principal types of natural graphite, each occurring in different types of ore deposit: (1) Crystalline flake graphite (or flake graphite for short) occurs as isolated, flat, plate-like particles with hexagonal edges if unbroken and when broken the edges can be irregular or angular; (2) Amorphous graphite occurs as fine particles and is the result of thermal metamorphism of coal, the last stage of coalification, and is sometimes called meta-anthracite. Very fine flake graphite is sometimes called amorphous in the trade; (3) Lump graphite (also called vein graphite) occurs in fissure veins or fractures and appears as massive platy intergrowths of fibrous or acicular crystalline aggregates, and is probably hydrothermal in origin.
The name "graphite fiber" is also sometimes used to refer to carbon fibre or carbon fibre reinforced plastic.

Engineer strengthening aging concrete, steel
Jun 2 2008 11:27AM EDT
Hamid Saadatmanesh has been called Dr. Carbon. Some people might call him the bridge doctor.
The University of Arizona civil engineering professor has made a career of developing methods to use carbon fiber to strengthen concrete, steel and brick on bridges and other structures that have been damaged or otherwise fallen into disrepair.
Among some high points to date:
- Getting the California Department of Transportation to use carbon fiber fabric to wrap around bridge columns damaged by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the San Francisco area.
- And demonstrating that a concrete block wall could withstand an explosive blast from 230 pounds of TNT after it had been covered with carbon fiber and a special epoxy he formulated.
Saadatmanesh (Sah-DOT-man-esh) said he stumbled onto his key findings by chance.
Saadatmanesh had just arrived at the university in the summer of 1987 after earning his Ph.D. at the University of Maryland to work on rehabilitation of bridges.
He described himself as "a young, nervous assistant professor trying to look for something to do, to get a grant" that would lead to job security and eventually tenure.
One day, he noticed corroded steel rebar - bars of steel used in reinforced concrete or reinforced masonry - next to the engineering building.
"Suddenly, it sparked in my mind that this is a problem all over the world, that there are billions of dollars actually spent every year on deterioration of structures because of (rebar) corrosion," Saadatmanesh said.
That's when he thought about making a product that doesn't corrode, ultimately settling on plastic rebar reinforced with carbon fibers, providing strength, durability and resistance to corrosion.
But given the limited application for rebar and the fact that corroded steel rebar can't be extracted from concrete, Saadatmanesh said he turned his attention more to carbon fibers, which were being used in the aerospace industry but not in civil engineering or construction.
Among its qualities, carbon fiber is lightweight, noncorrosive and much stronger than steel. "On the average, the material strength of carbon is 10 times stronger than your average steel," he said.
Saadatmanesh has strongly advocated the transfer of advanced composite materials technology in use in the aerospace industries into construction, for repair of public works and other infrastructure.
Saadatmanesh received eight National Science Foundation grants between 1990 and 1997, totaling more than $1.25 million to pursue his goals.
One grant went toward the TNT explosion demonstration.
With a special epoxy he developed after several years of research, Saadatmanesh bonded carbon fiber sheets, which he calls carbon wrap, on the outside of corroded or cracked steel or concrete beams, columns or slabs, right over the corroded elements.
Today, the professor has his third company, Carbon Wrap Solutions LLC, and sells the materials to contractors across the country.
He said projects are under way from Hawaii to New York - from repairing a 2 million-gallon water tank in Honolulu to several bridges near New York City.
The California Department of Transportation has also made wide use of the carbon fiber technology, Saadatmanesh said.
One customer for the past four years is Richmond, Calif.-based industrial contractor J.T. Thorpe and Son.
"You can put it over existing structures that may have lost their integrity like a concrete tank or steel tank, and you can re-establish that to above its original strength," said company official Gary Stewart.
The company has used the carbon fiber-epoxy process in strengthening steel storage tanks and other storage vessels, particularly in refining applications, "that otherwise would have had to be replaced or go through a process that may have had to be shut down at the cost of power generation or refining capacity," Stewart said.
"We have been able to go in and do repairs using carbon fiber and save down time."
Another current customer is JMA Ventures, landlord for Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco. A contractor is using Saadatmanesh's carbon wrap product to strengthen the brick covering on the historic chocolate factory building, said Joe Nootbaar, a principal in JMA Ventures.
"Their technology enables you to do a strengthening with minimum visual impact ... There's really no difference in the look of the wall," Nootbaar said.

Europe's Must-See Landmarks ( Effel Tower), Europe - Place of Interest

(Up)

Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic:

The historic stone bridge over Prague’s Moldau River was once a critical connection between Old Town and the Prague Castle. Now traffic consists largely of travelers from around the world who walk along the scenic structure, buy art from local vendors and take panoramic photos of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.


(Down)The Palace at Versailles:
This sprawling regal palace was Louis XIV’s extravagant home and the seat of France’s power during the king’s reign. Now, it could take you days to wander the many rooms, salons and gardens where he held court. The palace is also a storehouse of priceless furniture and artistic masterpieces.

(Up) Eiffel Tower, Paris:

Built in 1889 for the International Exposition, the Eiffel Tower is the most iconic symbol of Paris and is on every visitor’s must-see list. The open-lattice iron tower is the City of Light's tallest structure, standing at 985 feet.

让男人迷恋的十种“怪女人” ( Ten type of women that guys got himself interested in )

让男人迷恋的十种“怪女人”


  她不是个正常的女人。她对你忽冷忽热;她显得若即若离;她疯疯癫癫,缠得你心烦意乱;她矜持过度,视你如透明空气……她在折磨你,在讨好你,在伤害你,在抚慰你。她让你堕落,她让你迷醉,让你尝尽罪疚,让你欲罢不能。你需要更聪明些的进攻防守,这是段非理的爱情。

  一、完美女人

  Love表情:过分克己、自我苛求、时时刻刻地正确。

  怪女人举例:行为与道德完美的女人是天生的男儿杀手。过分克己、自我苛求、时时刻刻地正确,骨子里还是自恋,因为爱自己而不允许自己犯错。

  男人之道:与她分享犯错的欢乐。

  如神话一样,你可以爱上一个仙女般的人,但只能娶一个平常女人回家,你的难题在于你能否把一个仙女变为凡人。生活其实是最需要俗不可耐与随心所欲的东西,与她分享犯错的欢乐,分享慵懒与随意的畅快,限制她为你的付出在你可以回报的水平之上。

  二、猜疑之脸

  Love表情:喜欢捕风捉影,却故意装作很大度的样子。

  怪女人举例:一般的猜疑只是女人调情的一种手段,过度猜疑可能就是缺陷感与攻击性混合而成。《手机》中的女人都是些略带偏执和歇斯底里的复合体,她们对欺骗敏感,以为男人不说实话就摆明了是在欺负自己。

  男人之道:最有效的策略是装傻,不时贬低自己,千万不要自以为是。

  猜疑往往是一种关系控制的手段,你要学会“无条件服从”。当然,对心虚的男人,如果你想在喜欢猜疑的女人那里争取足够的自由,应牢记两个原则:

  原则一:在恋爱的开始建立必要的规则,比如不要有共同的朋友,不干涉各自的空间。

  原则二:不要把情爱关系搞得太紧密,保持适当的距离既能保护她又能保护你。猜疑的女人对关系亲疏非常敏感,一旦形成某种情爱模式,你必须坚持几十年如一日。

  三、冷漠之脸

  Love表情:常常沉缅于空想,不会主动关心人,互动关系中正常的信息往往无效。

  怪女人举例:来源于敌意的冷漠是可以接受的,敌意迟早可以化解,冷漠也会转换成温情。最让人担心的冷漠来源于极度的自恋,这是一种人格缺陷,性趋力缺失,没有爱的能力。自恋的人格是一种未分化的泥团,没有内部的结构,该愤怒的时候不愤怒,该快乐的时候也无快乐。怀抱着这样的女人,你甚至会感觉孤独、寒冷。

  你不得不创造一些独特的沟通方式来达成两人的交流。当然,有些很独立的女人,在人格深层也会有一种潜藏的冷漠,你无法融入她的内心,不能感动她也不可能征服她。

  男人之道:制定简单的信息与情感交流规则,帮助她获得足够的安全感。

  如果愤怒不能正常表达,冷漠就成了一种技术。如果你不想认错的话,装不知道是惟一的对策。只能容纳温暖而不能承受冷漠的男人,不算是强大的男人,因为他们对关系有太多的需要,这是一种依赖。

  被女人需要,往往是许多男人隐秘的自尊与快乐,面对无欲无求的女人谁都会惶恐。无欲则刚,而家庭中的无欲会把家庭搞得没有活人味。如果她以冷漠之脸对你,那么制定简单的信息与情感交流规则,帮助她获得足够的安全感就很重要。

  四、激情之脸

  Love表情:敏感而歇斯底里,爱与恨并驾齐驱。

  怪女人举例:具有戏剧人格的女人比比皆是,每个女人都有程度不一的癔症样情绪。她们暗示性高,情绪敏感而夸张,追求感官刺激,喜欢成为被关注的中心。

  男人之道:对她保持永远的赞美。

  夸张、情绪爆发、自虐倾向是戏剧人格的几大特点,你很难用正常方式与她沟通,因为她对真实有许多歪曲的体验,如果她撒谎也绝不是自己想撒谎,因为分不清哪些是现实、哪些是想象。

  你要做的,只是无条件接纳她的情绪,不要认为她是在胡搅蛮缠。给她安全感和时刻的赞美是非常重要的,你对她保持的永远的赞美,等于给了她钻石珠宝,她对你的回馈会总是让你意想不到。

  五、矛盾之脸

  Love表情:不知道爱你还是不爱你,胡乱发生外遇,然后又忏悔般地和盘托出。

  怪女人举例:边缘性障碍是女性特有的心理问题,起源于过度内向或冷漠的母亲,孩子无论多努力都不能与之形成深层的依恋关系,在亲密关系中的受挫使女孩不相信自我感觉,情绪不稳,易怒,无意识地自我挫败或自伤。

  她分不清自己对想依附你还是离开你,对情感缺乏控制力和预见力,无法忍耐焦虑。不知道爱你还是不爱你,胡乱发生外遇,然后又忏悔般地和盘托出,让爱她的人痛苦不堪。

  男人之道:帮她找到一个好的心理医生,伴他终生。

   缺乏自我边界是问题的核心,如何重建与人的边界,与如何识别管理自己的情绪是你要帮助她实现的目的。通常这样的女人需要终身陪伴心理医生,帮她找到一个 好的心理医生也是变通的办法之一。不过,大多心理医生都怕接收有边缘障碍的咨客,“她们像永远需要吸奶的孩子,不满足她你会永不得安宁。”

  六、过度洁净

  Love表情:重视情爱中的规则,一切按部就班。

  怪女人举例:有洁癖的女人总是过分谨慎,生活刻板而固执。这是一种装在套子里的爱情,一切都按部就班,重视情爱中的规则,忽略了创造的乐趣。
  
  男人之道:一开始就定出洁净限度,偶尔放纵。

  你必须一开始就定出游戏规矩,她愿意洁癖是她自己的事,家庭却不能患洁癖症。当然,有时你可以允许她把卧室变成洁净的天堂,像孩子过家家,待一切洁净无瑕之后,赤身体验那种身心的无尘之感。


  七、过度依赖

  Love表情:对关爱贪得无厌,不惜扮演可怜的人。

   怪女人举例:女人对男人的依赖一直被旧道德推崇,以为这样一来天下太平。但依赖其实是一种人格不全,过分顺从别人的意志,长久地体验无助感,害怕不能照 料自己,无力实现承诺,易于陷入孤独或被遗弃的恐惧。严重的依赖表现为一种依恋饥渴,对关爱贪得无厌,不惜扮演可怜的人,用弱势控制缠绕所爱的人。

  男人之道:周期性地分离。

  周期性的分离可以培养她的独立性,鼓励她与社会接触,获得良好的社会身份。有些女人在事业上也是非常独立的人,但在情感上却非常的依赖,和相爱的人在一起,智商立刻下降到零。小心!这种依赖只是控制你的战术,必要的装傻可以回应她对你的感情剥削。

  八、蕾丝边情结

  Love表情:简单执著,不畏男性的强权。

  怪女人举例:女人的同性恋倾向(Lesbian,音译为蕾丝边),在我们的社会越来越司空见惯。女性比男性更容易保持一种双性恋的角色,她们嫁人生子,完整地实现女性的生理功能,同时保持与同性间的秘密情感。
 
  男人之道:宽容、等待、不让同性爱干扰家庭生活。

  第一原则:宽容。如果你受不了,最好选择离开。试图改变一个同性恋者的结局是糟糕的,同性爱是她的权利,选择离开是你的权利;

  第二原则:节制行为,不让同性爱干扰你们的家庭生活;

  第三原则:等待。当荷尔蒙随着年龄消退孩子的成长使家庭事务增多,大部分的女人会主动放弃同性爱的生活。

  九、虐恋情结

  Love表情:有反社交倾向,无视规则,对挫折的忍耐小。

  怪女人举例:有潜在虐待行为的人常常有反社交倾向,她们的思想情感方式多少与众不同,如对他人的感受漠不关心,缺乏社会责任感,无视规则,对挫折的忍耐小,并且不能从经验中学习。

  男人之道:学会stop技术,或率先认输。

  女人调情的小动作比较多,不要把轻微的咬、掐、捏、抓、打看成是虐待,只要没有皮肤的破损,暴力虐待就不能成立。

  所有的家庭暴力都有一种成长的过程,在早期要对躯体伤害报以明确地厌恶,不要替对方找理由,或轻易地原谅她。对冲突的升级要学会stop技术,冲突升级有一个前提就是两个人都不服输,如果觉得事态要失控,不如率先认输或者离开。让双方的情绪得到缓冲。

  十、恋父情结

  Love表情:在性爱中有一种超然倾向,对裸露身体有莫名的罪恶感。

   怪女人举例:她在父女早年情感关系中未完成的情绪,会无意识地在你身上寻求补偿。大多恋父的女人在性爱中有一种超然倾向,甚至对裸露身体有莫名其妙的罪 恶感,她们在性爱中缺少创造能力,被动甚至回避是非常自然的事。恋父女人的这些表现,可能都源于对性的深层的害羞与困惑。

  男人之道:诱惑她,令她在现实的躯体快感中难以自拔。

   如何让恋父的女人摆脱对性的困惑,是考量你性能力的事,你要施展足够的男性魅力来诱惑她,使她坠入现实的躯体快感中难以自拔。你要及时地赞美她在性爱中 的表现,引发她内心的冲突,并适度地分享与化解。另一方面,你还要阻止她把恋父转化为一种代母倾向,过度的母性化是恋父情结的变身,你只用把她看做一个性 感女人,而不要营造什么亲情般的氛围。

Sony Ericsson G908c --- Chinese Version Only

从市场的角度来看,新机无论是发布还是上市都非常的吸引眼球,特别是一些有代表性的新机上市的时候这样的眼球效应会更加的明显,所以厂商也不遗余力 的开发出各种各样有特色的新机,想借此来博得关注度。如果大家有市场注意一下新机上市时间表,就可以发现在不久之后的几个月里各厂商将有多款相当有代表性 的新机即将在市场上和大家见面,他们都拥有各自的特点,相信可以得到大家的喜欢。

  目前消费者在选择手机的时候表现得都还比较理性,而且 比较在意手机功能上的表现,所以厂商在进行手机研发的时候也非常注意这些消费者的需求,尽量的在手机的功能上做文章,所以下半年出现的这几款新机在功能上 的表现都是非常不错的,都是非常值得期待的,下面就让笔者和大家一起来看看究竟有哪些新机将会出现在市场,他们的出现是否能让沉寂已久的市场重新显现出活 力呢?

索尼爱立信G908c

  常常关注手机的朋友应该都知道索尼爱立信比较注重的智能手机平台是塞班的UIQ,相信索尼爱 立信针对这一平台所做出的努力大家都是可以看到的。不过在今年索尼爱立信却发布了一款相当有量级的Windows Mobile智能手机X1,这也让大家可能会怀疑索尼爱立信是不是将重心转移到这一平台上来。但随着G908c(水货型号G900i)的发布,相信大家的 疑虑已经消失了,G908c确实是一款表现非常抢眼的UIQ智能手机。

三星G900
索尼爱立信G908c配备了500万像素的摄像头

   索尼爱立信G908c的造型设计相当的不错,虽然没有采用什么大胆出位的设计,但整机给人的感觉不但很清爽而且非常的有时尚感,笔者觉得该机的设计非常 的符合索尼爱立信的风格;该机在拍照方面的表现非常值得肯定,他采用了目前索尼爱立信拍照手机中最高等级的500万像素摄像头,而且搭配了一个非常独特的 触控式自动对焦功能,这一功能是在专业的拍照手机系列Cyber-Shot系列上都没有出现的功能,这一功能的使用也非常的简单,在拍照的时候可以通过触 摸屏幕来指定需要对焦的物体,通过这一功能在拍照的时候可以得到很多匪夷所思的成像效果;该机搭载了塞班智能操作系统UIQ3.0界面,常常关注索尼爱立 信智能手机的朋友相信对这一界面应该不会陌生,该界面在操控性和人性化方面再次得到了提升,可以给使用者提供更方便的使用体验。

三星G900 三星G900

相信上市以后价位也会很“高贵”

  编辑点评:虽 然该机不是Cyber-Shot系列的一员,但该机的拍照能力确实相当的突出,触控式自动对焦功能也非常的新奇,相信是一个相当不错的卖点。该机将拍照和 智能两大元素结合得相当的不错,无论你是喜欢拍照或者是玩软件,都可以在该机上得到不少的乐趣。不过比较遗憾的是该机的预计上市价格应该也不会低,至少在 5000元以上的级别,可能喜欢该机而经济又略有不足的朋友就需要等待一段时间,等该机价格降到一个相对合理的位置再考虑购买不迟。
