The nurse wishes him a good trip and leaves the room.

The next day the nurse enters Raju's room justas he stops driving his imaginary car and asks,"Well Raju,how are you doing?"

Raju says, "I just arrived in Durban"

"Great," replied the nurse.

The nurse leaves Raju's room and goes acrossthe hall into Balwanth's room, and finds Balwanthsitting on his bed furiously masturbating.

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher. She's dead."

Dating is hard and establishing a basis for a lasting relationship is no easy feat. There are so many things to look at and many hurdles to overcome. Just when you think you may have landed a prince, you wake up and realize you have kissed a frog. YUCK!!!

Hard decisions are a part of life. Here are 7 more in my list of behaviors and attitudes you should never ever tolerate in any man. You know in your heart you should drop him. There is always that nagging sense of doubt. With this list that follows my previous seven signs, again I am going to reference a song that covers the sentiments of dealing with and breaking off a relationship with a loser. Paul Simon sang it best in his hit song from the mid 1970 era called 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.

If the guy you are involved does any of this, it is time to re-evaluate fast!

1. Does he listen to you? Does your opinion matter? Does he respect what you think? If not, let the relationship go.

2. Is he one to humiliate you? Does he think it is funny to get you all riled up? Does he enjoy frustrating you to tears? Does it happen often? If so, it is time to wake up!

3. He sabotages your goals or dreams. Does he discount what you think is important for your future?

4. He refers to women as Bit@$*#. That is a female dog; not you! Similar references to you as “the old lady” or a streetwalker are unacceptable.

5. Is he jealous and have an attitude about it? An over jealous man that feels he has some right to make you jump through hoops is certainly a red light. Stop, drop him and Go!

6. If you make more money than he does and it is a source of contention in your relationship. My advice: loose any man that has to compete with you.

7. If you ask him if you look fat in an outfit and he has the nerve to say yes! Any sane man would know not to tread on this dangerous turf with a woman he cares about. If he boldly says, “ yes you look fat”, either you have gained a lot of weight or he is unnecessarily hurtful and it is time to look at other options.

Very often we wonder why on earth did we ever get involved in the first place. You may think, what was on my mind? How could I allow myself to be taken and treated poorly? Well, the past is there for us to learn from. Consider past mistakes lessons learned. You can start today making better relationship choices. Ditch ALL losers!

If you have managed to weather the storms of life and still remain in a long-term relationship – Congratulations! Well done! Hopefully, you and your partner enjoy good communication, closeness, compatibility and the comfort of each other. You are familiar with each other and may often find one can start a sentence and the other can finish it. You flow well together.

You may be thinking, yes we did make it. Ok snap out of it. You still have work to do! Yes work! You have accomplished much but you have more work to do. Both of you must work to keep your relationship going in the right direction.

Here are five things you can work on beginning now:

1. Consider your love a privilege. Never take your partner for granted.

2. Have interests that are separate from your partner as well as doing things together. It is important that you find many things you enjoy together, and then continue to do them together. But, there should be things of interest you pursue on your own. If you play volleyball with your friends on Thursdays, continue doing that. If the two of you love to eat Seafood on Friday nights, keep that up as well. It is just as important that you have one or two hobbies you do by yourself, just to make sure that your individual needs are being met.

3. Take time to explore new things together. What have you two talked about but never got around to doing? Is it travel? A new sport? If you love to travel and play tennis, start doing just that. You could take day trips to different places to play tennis. Mix both activities together. You may want to take some classes together. Think of cooking or even ballroom dancing (Yes, that is one hot off my personal list).

4. Have conversations like you used to. Do you recall when you listened to everything your partner said? You know, hanging on their every word? If you find yourself having conversations while watching TV or half sentences over dinner, stop! Really listen and tune into your partner. This one change can make all the difference in the world.

5. Work on You. Yes you! Whatever extra things you did when you first fell in love, pick them up and start doing them again. I am not talking about wearing those old disco platform shoes. Keep those if you must only for old times sake. Take inventory and see if there are areas you can improve yourself. If there are, begin to make changes. Small changes will have big payoffs if continued.

The idea here is to broaden your horizons. Think of things you both like to do as well as things you would enjoy solo. Get busy working on keeping your relationship fresh.

There are certain things that are going to attract a man to a woman. If you are a man and you are wondering what you can do to make yourself more attractive to a woman, you need to pay attention. You have to check this out so that you have what it takes to draw in a woman and keep her interested in you. Being able to attract a woman is going to be the first step in building a great relationship.

1) Dress for Success

The first thing that you need to do is make sure that you are keeping up with your appearance. Women want to have a man that looks a certain way. They want to have a man that takes pride in their appearance and wants to look good for them. However I am sure that a woman does not want to have a man that is too worried about what they looks. Pretty boys are not usually what most women want however there are a few that do like this type.

Make sure that your clothes and hair and everything about you makes you look attractive. Keep yourself groomed well and always make sure that you smell good. Women go crazy for men that smell nice.

2) Take Advantage of Her Senses

You need to make sure that you are appealing to her senses. This means you need to think about what you can do to make yourself more appealing to her through her senses. You need to have everything - from the way that you sound to the way that you touch her!

Make sure that you talk in the voice that melts her from time to time. Again having the right fragrance is going to make her feel good about you too. Clothing and appearance will take care of the sight sense and you need to make sure that you keep up on the sense of touch. Give her comfort and hold her when you should and make her feel loved by the way that you touch her.

3) Make her Dream about You

Give her a reason to think about you. Whatever it is make sure that you leave an impression in her mind. It can be anything from the way that you talk to her, the affection that you show her or the little things that you do to make her happy.

Whatever it is make sure that she can never take her mind off of you. This will make her feel good and you will be able to have her in the palm of your hands all the time.

4) Make her the Center of your Universe

Treat her like she is the most important thing in your life. Of course she should be but you need to show her. Focus your attention on her and block out any distractions. This means a night out with the guys, a good looking waitress, sweet looking ride on the road or anything else that may grab your attention from her.

You want to make sure that you are giving her your full attention and making sure that she knows that she is the only thing that matters when you are together. Even when you are not together, let her know that you are thinking about her. Text her or give her a brief call from time to time. Let her know that you are always thinking of her and that you want to let her know that.

5) Flirting never hurts

Do not be afraid to flirt with her. This will make her feel sexy and good. You should never flirt with anyone else though. This will usually only make her mad and you may end up getting in a lot of trouble if you do this. Let her know that you are attracted to her.

6) STOP - Listen

Listening to a woman is going to get you far. If you are trying to win the heart of someone, you need to pay attention. Make sure that you listen to everything that she is saying and be sure to make eye contact with her. This will make her feel good and she will defiantly be attracted to you for this.

7) Take an Interest in Her Life

Women love men that take an interest in what they are doing and what they are feeling. Make sure that you are giving them a reason to want to hang out with them. Do the things that she likes to do and spend time getting to know her better. This is something that you will want to do so that she knows that you are interested in her and what she is doing in life. Ask her that her hobbies are and what she likes to do for fun.

8) Honesty IS the Best Policy

Women like men that are honest and sincere. Do not lie to her. This will only get you in trouble. You need to make sure that you are doing what you need to in order to keep the lines of communication open and never make anything up or lie to her. Give her a reason to trust you and never let her down in this way. You may never regain her trust if you do.

When you are serious about getting a woman to be attracted to you all of these techniques will help you. Use them to your best interest and take advantage of the things that you can and make sure that you are keeping all of your intentions good when you are trying to make a woman fall in love with you.

All of us folks who are lucky enough to already have an iPhone know how much fun they can be just to play around with. Playing with my iPhone a lot myself, I have discovered some cool tips and tricks that you may find useful.

1. If you tap once at the very top of the screen when you are on the internet, it will take you back to the top of the window rather than having to scroll all the way back up. A nice time saving feature.

2. If you set the font to the smallest size, you can read more in the internet window. An advantage of this is that when you want to click a link, you can pinch (expand) that area and the link will come up very large, making it much easier to click.

3. Rather than posting the full address of internet sites in bookmarks, you can post the equivalent RSS address instead into Apple's RSS reader and save that as your bookmark. This way you can quickly see if there's anything interesting on your favorite site rather than downloading the whole homepage.

4. If you are writing something and the iPhone flags a word as misspelled that you know is not misspelled, cancel the correction 3 times and the word will be put into the dictionary. If you write a lot, this feature is quite useful!

5. The magnifying glass is a nice iPhone tool when you are typing an email or any other text. If you tap once and hold, a magnifying glass will pop up showing you a zoomed in view of your words and cursor. You can now easily place the cursor wherever you want. This makes editing your writing very easy.

6. You can move icons around, but not on the home screen. You have to go to the ipod section. Go to iPod > More > Edit. Now you can drag your icons all around. This can also be done in the phone section.

7. To reset your iphone, hold down the right button and the "home" front button for about 6 seconds. To power it back on, push the top button. This is different than a regular shutdown, which can be done easily by holding the sleep/wake button for 6 seconds.

8. If you get a lot of spam e-mail or other unwanted e-mail, pay attention to this time saving feature. Add a link to Yahoo mail in Safari bookmarks. From there you can check 'delete all' to remove all unwanted e-mails. This is much easier than deleting hundreds of spam e-mails one at a time.

I hope you found these iphone tips helpful. If you have an iPhone and have been wondering how best to fill it up with music and movies, check out Top iPhone Downloads for the latest reviews of iPhone download sites.

There are a number of important facets to developing an internet business, but the traffic you generate is perhaps the most important. You could have the best website in the world, but you will have no business if no one knows about it. By producing original content and posting in forums, you can begin increasing your traffic volume greatly.

The first thing you can do to increase traffic to your internet marketing business is focus on the content you are producing. Two parts of your content will make your business worthy; how fresh and enticing it is and if it is worth your reader's time. All over the internet you will find content that is the same, just rephrased.

If you can give the readers something original, something they haven't seen before, you are guaranteed to increase your traffic volume. Not only will you generate more traffic with fresh content, but you will also increase the number of return visitors you have. This is because you will have given them something they haven't heard before and they will want to come back to see what else you have for them.

As far as producing content that is worth their time goes, there are hundreds of other websites that are offering similar content as yours. Therefore, you have to be clear and precise with your writing. There is no time to beat around the bush on the internet, you have to deliver right away and give your readers a benefit.

While the content you produce is crucial, there is much more to increasing traffic volume than that. One of the most effective ways to bring visitors to your internet business is by posting on blogs and forums. There are thousands of forums online and the more you post in the multitude of forums, the more people will become familiar with you and your website. Blogs and forums give you the chance to share your knowledge and find out what readers are looking for.

Article writing is another way to increase your traffic volume. As with forums, the more articles you write the more people will become familiar with you. After writing your articles, you can place a link in a forum post, place it on your website, or submit it to article directories.

There are many other ways you can increase your traffic volume including link exchanges, newsletters and emails. But focusing on your content and getting your name across the internet is a great way to bring visitors to your internet marketing business.

Diary of a modern woman on week 1 of marriage

Monday:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home. It's fun to cook for Tim. Today I made an angel food cake and the recipe said, "Beat 12 eggs separately." Well, I didn't have enough bowls to do that, so I had to borrow 12 bowls to beat the eggs in.The cake turned out fine though.

Tuesday:
We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, "Serve without dressing." So I didn't dress. But Tim happened to bring a friend home for supper that night. They both looked so startled when I served them, I think it was the salad.

Wednesday:
I decided to serve rice and found a recipe which said, "Wash thoroughly before steaming the rice." So I heated some water and took a bath before steaming the rice. Sounded kinda silly in the middle of the day. I can't say it improved the rice anyhow.

Thursday:
Today Tim asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said, "Prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving." I hunted all over the place for a garden and when I got one, I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce and stood over there for over one hour so the dog would not take it. Tim came over and asked if I felt all right. I wonder why? He must be stressed at work, I'll try and be supportive.

Friday:
Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, "Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat it." Beat it I did, to my mum's place. There must have been something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again, it looked the same as when I left it.

Saturday:
Tim went shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I'm sure I don't know how hens dress for Sunday. I never notice back on the farm, but I found an old doll dress and its little cute shoes. I thought the hen looked really cute. When Tim saw it, he started counting to ten. Either he was really stressed because of his work or he wanted the chicken to dance. When I asked him what was wrong, he started crying and shouting out "Why me? Why me?".

It has to be his job ...

First Joke:

An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind -ese are you?"

The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you> mean."

The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese was confused over the question. The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What> kind of -ese are you...Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese!?"

The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese."

A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked "What kind> of -kee" was he. The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of -kee am I?!" The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?"

Second Joke:

A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day. Carrying a bag of money. She insisted that she must speak with the president of the bank to open a savings account because, "It's a lot of money!"

After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff finally ushered her into the president's office (the customer is always right!). The bank president then asked her how much she would like to deposit. She replied, "$165,000!" and dumped the cash out of her bag onto his desk. The president was of course curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am, I'm surprised you're carrying so much cash around. "Where did you get this money?" The old lady replied, "I make bets." The president then asked, "Bets? What kind of bets?" The old woman said, "Well, for example, I'll bet you $25,000 that your balls are square." "Ha!" laughed the president, "That's a stupid bet. You can never win that kind of bet!" The old lady challenged, "So, would you like to take my bet?" "Sure," said the president, I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square!" The little old lady then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00 AM as a witness?" "Sure!" replied the confident president.

That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls, turning from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly checked them out until he was sure there was absolutely no way his balls were square and that he would win the bet.

The next morning, at precisely 10:00 am, the little old lady appeared with her lawyer at the president's office. She introduced the lawyer to the president and repeated the bet: "$25,000 says the president's balls are square!" The president agreed with the bet again and the old lady asked him to drop his pants so they could all see. The president did. The little old lady peered closely at his balls and then asked if she could feel them. "Well, Okay," said the president, "$25,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure." Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly banging his head against the wall. The President asked the old lady, "What the hell's the matter with your lawyer?" She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00 AM today, I'd have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."

Third Joke:

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's restrooms at a rest stop but, I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassedly: "Doin Just Fine!"

And the other guy says: "So what are you up too?"

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh I'm like you, just traveling east!"

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question.

"Can I come over to your place after while?"

Ok, this question is just wacky but i figured I could just be polite and end the conversation.

I tell him, "Well, I have company over so today is a bad day for me!"

Then I hear the guy say nervously...

"LISTEN"

"I'll have to call you back,there's an idiot in the other stall who keepsanswering all my questions."

There are a few ways to earn money through blogging. Some of these common methods used are through contextual ad program, affiliate program and selling their own digital assets.

Advertisement Space
There are two basic methods that you can go about recruiting sponsors who want to put ads on your site; either engaging someone to do all of the work or doing it yourself.

Within the first group, most of the people make money blogging by selling space through Google's AdSense program. It requires very little effort on the part of the blogger to earn profits. Another two popular ones with many is BlogAds. A more recent addition that many are using successfully are Chitika’s eMiniMalls and CrispAds, Text Link Ads.

Another approach is to sell advertising directly to companies who want to put banner ads or sponsored links on your blog. This can take quite a bit of time, but it is often fairly worthwhile.

If you have a lot of contacts in industries that are related to the topic of your blog, you may want to try out this approach. People who are experienced at pitching proposals can make quite a bit of money by renting blog space to interested companies.

The most fundamental challenges with this approach is that you often have to build a sizable readership before you can attract advertisers, which can mean it will take time before you start to make money blogging.

Get paid for blogging
Another method is to use pay per blog service. It is an incredible new self-service marketplace that allows you to get paid to blog about the products, services and websites you love.

With this service, advertisers are willing to pay you for your opinion on various topics.

Using of Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs enable your blog to serve as a conduit between readers and online sites offering various goods and services. An affiliate program provides a means for your readers to click directly from your blog to Amazon to obtain further information about the book. If they break out the checkbook or charge card, you get paid as well.There are larger affiliate programs like Amazon, Linkshare, Clickbank and Commission Junction but also literally thousands of others from the large to the very small.

Selling Your Digital Assets
Blogs are an ideal venue to share your thoughts with others, but don't overlook their capacity to generate new business as well.

Increasing numbers of bloggers have been developing other digital assets to support and add revenue streams to their blogs. By this, I mean more and more e-books by bloggers, courses or tele-seminars run by bloggers being advertise in their blog. This create an additional ways to generate incomes.

You have created your website or have signed up as an affiliate and received a free website, now it is up to you to promote it and generate traffic to your business in order to make money.

Now you may be thinking that, in order to make money you are going to need money. Not true, for many of us, we just do not have the resources or money to generate traffic to our websites like some do.

Well, you don’t have to spend a penny; really all you need to do is to have the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. As well, the perseverance and drive to work hard and do your research to generate traffic to your site.

How sweet it is to generate traffic to your website without having to spend a single penny. Now, I am not about to beat around the bush here, and I will tell you honestly that it may take a bit more time. When you pay for your advertisements you are going to get results faster. But at least you will have a fighting chance with some of the free methods I am about to tell you.

Write good content on your website Once your site is discovered and if the content is good quality content, people will return to read more or tell friends about it. Search engines will index it more frequently because humans are visiting often due to your great quality content.

Search engine optimization is also extremely important, but I am no expert when it comes to this topic. About the best advice I can give you about search engine optimization is that you will need to have the right keywords in order to get higher rankings in the search engines. But I can assure you that you can get plenty of free information about it if you type those keywords into your browser.

Enlist your website into the hottest Internet directories that are free. It is an easy and effective website promotion tactic. Start with this and the rest of the good things will follow.

Just don’t forget to spruce up your website so that you have a higher chance of getting accepted in your directory of choice.

Write articles You will want your articles to pique the attention of your target audience. Provide tips and guides of interest to them. The article must be related to what your website is about. That way, when they read your resource box, there will be a higher chance that they will click on your link so that they can get more information or buy your product.

She and I have been married 30 years, and she's a wonderful wife and mother, but she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I fooled around with other women a lot.

Based on the book of the same title, Gossip Girl (written by Cecily von Ziegesar) takes viewers inside the exclusive world of the privileged teenagers at an elite New York City private school. Each episode is told through the eyes of an anonymous blogger as the best gossip and deepest secrets are dished and revealed.

Gossip Girl revolves around the lives of socialite young adults growing up on New York's Upper East Side who attend elite academic institutions whilst dealing with sex, drugs, and other teenage issues. Featuring an ensemble cast, the series mainly centers around the lives of former best friends, Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), and their shared romantic interest, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford). As outsiders looking in, Dan (Penn Badgley) and Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) do not run in the same social or financial circles as their peers but are drawn into their lives nonetheless. The series is narrated by a seemingly omniscient character, "Gossip Girl" voiced by Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), who runs a blog about her fellow Upper East Siders -- consequently stirring the pot and creating potential rivalries in this exclusive and vicious circle of friends.

The show is created by Josh Schwartz, the creator of The O.C., and Stephanie Savage, who also serve as executive producers alongside Bob Levy, Leslie Morgenstein and Felicia D. Henderson. It is produced by CBS Paramount Network Television, Warner Bros. Television, College Hill Productions and Alloy Entertainment.

So you own a small business and you have made the decision to build a simple website to gain internet exposure. Or maybe you already have a website that no one visits? You can be the proud owner of the slickest website you have ever seen, but if you aren’t getting any traffic because it’s not properly optimized you have wasted a good chunk of change and a lot of your valuable time. Weather you are building a site from scratch or tweaking one that already exists, consider these web hosting and marketing tips to help drive traffic to your website:

For Web Hosting:

1) Start with keywords - Think about terms potential customers would use to find you in a search engine. What would you type in if you were looking for your business?

2) Use a keyword selector tool - Type your keywords into a keyword selector tool to see how many people have searched on the term in the last 30 days. Look for terms in the 2k-10k range that are relevant to your site.

3) Use domain names which match your keywords – My client advertises products that are geared toward leadership skills development. In addition to leadingonedge.com he also has leadership-skills.info and a handful of others.

4) Use keywords throughout your web pages - Put your keywords in the title, description, keywords, graphics, and written text.

5) Use a keyword density analyzer - Check your website against a keyword density analyzer to see how frequently a specific keyword is used. Shoot for 3-15% density.

6) Slick and sexy doesn't get you traffic - Don't waste your money on slick graphics or things that fly across your screen. Most visitors find them annoying and search engines don't care for them.

7) Use Google AdSense on your website - Whenever someone clicks on a Google ad in your website, you get revenue. And the ads are relevant to your content. My websites now pay for themselves with ad revenue alone.

8) Advertise Amazon books and products on your website - Set up an Amazon Associates account and put relevant books and products on your website. When someone buys a product you get referral revenue.

9) Consider using a website starter package - If going it on your own, think about using a website starter package which can have you up and running quickly. 10) Decide where you want to spend your time - In any business, time is money! Small business web hosting is very doable, but it does take time. Decide if you want to do it yourself or have a professional help you.

For Marketing:

1) Get an automated eCommerce system - These can be really good, very comprehensive and very inexpensive. The good ones can do everything from customer base management to product management to shopping cart to newsletter broadcasts.

2) Get a cheap and reliable merchant account provider - You can get merchant account providers that do both the merchant account and internet gateway for you.

3) Put a link back to your website in your email autosignature - This doesn't need to be obnoxious, just a simple link that email recipients can click on to reference your website.

4) Do selective link trading - Link trade, but make sure the content on the other websites is similar to your own. Don't touch "link farms" with a ten-foot pole; search engines hate them.

5) Write articles and include your website address – Every business owner has something to say that someone would love to read about! There are a number of article databases out there that are researched for website content. Find some article databases which house content similar to yours and write a few articles. You'd be amazed at where your articles show up!

6) Write newsletters - Allow for customers and visitors to subscribe to a newsletter to get regular visibility to you and your company. This is also a great way to compile a customer email data base for your business.

7) Consider using a search engine submission services - These services submit your site to multiple search engines & directories. This can be helpful particularly if your website is new.

8) Set up an affiliates program - Allow for others to promote your products on a commission basis. Again a good eCommerce system should already have this built in.

9) Download the Google Toolbar – I am a Google toolbar fanatic! The Google Toolbar has a nifty feature which shows you the page rank (0-10 scale) of every site you visit; the higher your page ranking the higher your placement in search engines.

10) Set up multiple websites - Got three services you perform? Set up three different websites with domain names that match your keywords. Super cheap to do and can be very effective.
