Hot teachers gone wild; for students

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been noticing all of the new cases in the news. What is it that attracts these gorgeous teachers to their teenage students? In my opinion; it makes them feel young, sexy, and naughty. The fact that they have to hide their sexual encounters is a turn on for them. I mean come on; who hasn’t got it on in the closet, back seat, or in a public place. They just take this sneaky fetish to a whole new level.

I don’t think they should get 12 years in prison for their crimes (depending on the guys age.) For example, does it make sense to lock up a 26 year old woman up for over a decade because she slept with an 18 year old man ONLY because she was an authority to him in the school system. Yes it’s illegal and should be punished but maybe tone it down a little.

Chronicles of the horny teachers

Deanna Bobo: Despite her denials of sex with her 14-year-old student, this Arkansas mother of five was convicted and sentenced to 12 year in prison on two counts of first-degree sexual assault. As WND previously reported, Bobo allegedly had sex twice with a boy in his own bed while his parents were not home and possibly relations with three othe juveniles. “This is a proclivity on her part,” said the prosecutor.

Adrianne Hockett: Accused of having sex with a 16-year-old special-needs student in a Houston apartment she rented for the get-togethers. The boy has testified the pair would “have sex, drink beer and smoke weed.”

Amber Jennings, 31: Though Jennings was initially charged with having sex with a 16-year-old, the counts against the Sturbridge, Mass., woman were reduced to a single charge of disseminating harmful materials to a minor. She reportedly admitted e-mailing naked photos of herself to a former student. She received no jail time, only two years of probation after pleading guilty.

Amber Marshall, 23: Northwest Indiana woman allegedly had sexual contact, including intercourse, with several students at Hebron High School, and turned herself into authorities, telling police she knew what she did was illegal.

Insanely awesome drinking gadgets

intelligent-coaster.jpgSmart Coaster - Empty Alert!
Another way to be the most efficient alcoholic is ensuring that your glass is never empty, and this invention from students and a professor at the University of Munich can do so. The intelligent coaster includes a gravity and weight sensor. It can be calibrated to an empty glass before any drinking is done. Once an empty glass is placed on the coaster it can then notify the bartender immediately. No idea on how the bartender would be alerted, but I would assume it would be by some kind of computer or pager system. Not released for sale yet.

bongxedoblue.jpgBongXedo Ultimate Beer Pong
In further pursuit of getting you ready for one of the biggest drinking holidays of the year, I present the BongXedo beer bong. This beer bong systems is worn around the body and the drinking tube comes out in a very peculiar place. The BongXedo has dual funnels that can hold a few beers, total. The tubes meet at one intersection for drinking. For anyone who has any experience with beer bongs knows that the foam at the bottom of the bong can be a deal breaker. The BongXedo includes tubes that ports the base foam back up to the top so no beer is ever wasted. Efficiency at its best. Order yours.

beer_chiller_04.jpgAmazin’ Beer Chiller - Coldest Brew in 2
The Amazin’ Beer Chiller uses scientific principles to chill down a cold one in two minutes. Using what its makers call “patented XDR technology,” it spins a 16-or 12-ounce beer or soda can in such a way that all of the liquid is exposed to the edges of the can because of the vortex created inside, cooling it off quickly. Then comes the secret part:

The battery-operated device also removes the heat from the outside of the can using special secret technology. All this chilling tech runs on two AA batteries, and all you have to do is just add a little ice and water. Or, you could just put your beers in the refrigerator and night before for free.

Secret? Looks like it uses the same principle as stirring a drink with ice in a glass. So far the Amazin’ Beer Chiller is only available in Korea, but if it works as well as its maker says it does, expect to see it in the United States sometime soon.

America’s most expensive cities

Money stackDoesn’t it seem like New Yorkers are always bitchin’ about having to fork out ridiculous amounts of cash for regular day-to-day living? According to CNN’s stats they do have a good reason to; NY topped out the US list (ranking at #13 in the world.) Shouldn’t they be healthier? After all, it can’t be easy spending 7 bucks on a pack of cigarettes. Even the necessities like milk and bread are pricey, generally a gallon of milk costs $2.82 in the city.

  1. New York, NY
  2. Los Angeles, CA
  3. White Plains, NY
  4. San Francisco, CA
  5. Chicago, IL
  6. Miami, FL
  7. Honolulu, HI
  8. Houston, TX
  9. Washington, DC
  10. Boston, MA

Now that you know where NOT to move you’re probably just as curious as I was about the cheapest city. If you wanna get the most bang for your buck cruise over to Winston Salem, NC where the cost of living is similar to that of a third world country (exaggerating a bit.) The survey was conducted by Mercer Human Resource Consulting; they use it to consult large international firms on what to pay their employees.

Catch your girlfriend or wife cheating

young couple You’re in a great relationship with a gorgeous girl and it seems to be a two way street - she wouldn’t be unfaithful to you, or would she? A cheating girlfriend or wife is a concern that haunts many men in relationships, and just the thought of your girl putting her hands on another man makes your blood boil.

So how can you spot a cheater and how do you fix it?

signs of a cheating girlfriend or wife

Although there are signs that can indicate that your girlfriend is two-timing you, the thing to keep in mind is that you’re looking for a change in her behavior patterns. The key to spotting a cheating wife or girlfriend is change , so if she’s always been a guy’s girl and has a lot of male friends, don’t get all paranoid when you hear that she was seen with her friend Max at the movies, for example.

The following are 5 signs that she may be letting someone else taste her pudding:

1- She’s no longer as needy
If she was never able to go shopping, exercise, or cross the street alone, and she suddenly doesn’t need your company, it may mean that someone else is filling your shoes. It’s possible that she just needs time to herself, but if she’s unusually independent when she used to be overly needy, it may signal that she’s just no longer as needy… of you.

2- She no longer gets angry
She used to get angry if you didn’t want to meet her for lunch or come out with her and her friends, but now everything you do is all right by her. Once upon a time, your every move had to be premeditated, but now all the small things you used to mess up aren’t enraging her. This could be a good thing, but you wonder why she no longer cares.

3- She’s being secretive
She’s no longer sharing her daily events with you, and in order to find out what she’s doing, you’d have to break open her diary because she’s not volunteering any information regarding the goings-on of her life. Of course, you could always ask…

4- She places the focus on you
When you do ask her questions, she turns the tables on you. The former chatterbox’s batteries have run out and when you ask her how her night was, mum’s the only word. It’s now all about you, you, you, rather than “I did this” and “I went here last night.”

5- She showers you with pleasure
Now that it’s all about you, your girlfriend is always complimenting you, asking you to go out, giving you “I love you” cards for no reason whatsoever, and even offering to wash your car and watch the boxing match with you. While these gestures are more than sweet, it’s this kind of overcompensating behavior that can make one suspicious. If she’s bombarding you with niceties, it might be nice to know what’s really going on.

get to the bottom of things

As I said earlier, these signs aren’t the be-all end-all that she’s been unfaithful. Change is the most important factor that must be evaluated if you find yourself suspicious of her, so look at how she used to be, and how she is now.

If she’s spending less time with you, for example, it could either mean that she’s avoiding you because she feels guilty for her actions, or she just doesn’t care to spend as much time with you. The latter could be a sign of cheating, but it may also be the cause of why .

how to handle it

Now there’s no need to get all paranoid and suspicious. If you think that her recent behavior isn’t adding up or you catch her lying, then do not accuse her of cheating. Think about whether she’s given you a reason to believe that she’s two-timing you, or whether it’s your imagination running wild because you’re afraid of losing her.

You have a feeling
If you think she may be cheating, approach her but don’t bring up the cheating. Ask her if everything is okay, and tell her that she’s been acting different lately. Give her examples of how her behavior has changed, and tell her that you want to know and understand if there’s a reason.

You want to open the lines of communication and encourage her to open up about what is troubling her in the relationship, and proceed from there. Approaching a cheater can be a delicate situation.

You have more than a sneaking suspicion
If you have adequate reason to believe that she’s cheating on you, do not accuse or threaten her because if you’re wrong, she’ll feel that you really don’t trust her. Rather than exclaiming, “I know what’s going on!” or “Who have you been messing around with?”, ask, “Is there something I should know about?” or “I have reason to believe that you’re not being 100% honest with me.”

This may seem passive, but you want to approach the topic carefully because if you’re wrong, you may be messing up big time. But if you’re right, then you have permission to raise Cain.

You catch her or have concrete evidence
If there is no way that this is a misunderstanding and you are positive that she’s been pawing another dog, then you can approach her with more assertion. Tell her what you saw, how it makes you feel, and what you plan to do about it.

once a cheater…

Crying WomanBeing unfaithful in a relationship is horrible, but there is a bigger picture here. You have to realize that a cheating girlfriend may be the result of a problem in your relationship. If she’s deceiving you by getting cuddly with another man, it could mean that she is going elsewhere to find what your relationship lacks, which doesn’t make her actions right, only less despicable.

forgive and forget

If you discover that she cheated on you, there are a few questions you must ask yourself:

  • Can you trust her again?If the answer is No:
    You can’t get back together.If the answer is Yes:
    It may take time, but you can give it another try. You’ll have to tell her that it’ll be hard to trust her, but with her help and time, it can happen.
  • Why do you think she did it?If she doesn’t tell you why:
    You’ll have to evaluate whether you can still forgive her.If it has to do with your relationship:
    When you’re ready, you can work on the problems in your relationship.
  • Is your relationship worth another try? If you can move past her deceit and give her another chance, then when you’re ready, sit down, talk to her, and try to understand why she did it. There may be no reason at all (it could just be the fault of stupidity with a pinch of vodka), but if there is a reason why she cheated on you, then ignoring why she did it can lead it to happen again — and then you’ll be cheating yourself.We all make mistakes, which doesn’t make cheating acceptable, but if she shows remorse for her actions and if she’s worth the effort of giving it another shot, then you can forgive although you may need more time to forget.

  • Myspace: Hackers New Target

    Myspace LogoMyspace seems like the next target for the now-famous “month of bugs” project. The hackers are of course, anonymous, which is perhaps part of the fun of doing such a project. They say that they’re going to expose a new bug every day for a whole month, just like the other “month of bugs” projects have done (for example: Month of Apple Bugs and Month of Kernel bugs).

    As much fun as it seems, I’m skeptical on how successful and how much of an impact this project is going to have on MySpace. One point that I have to make is that the viewers on MySpace probably couldn’t care less about security. Sure, no one wants to have their account hacked, but the measures they take to prevent something like that are quite low, if that is any indication of people’s views of security on MySpace. And although the hackers seem like they are trying to make people aware of the bugs, I sort of doubt it’s going to work, especially since kiddies are unlikely to read such reports anyway.

    I’m also critical of the bugs that they are looking for. In the article, they stated that they are searching for “cross site scripting bugs, which can allow an attacker to execute malicious script within a victim’s browser” and “bugs that affect browsers or technologies like Flash or QuickTime”. Well, there are definitely security holes in MySpace, but how much different are most of these bugs than the ones that people can implement on their own servers? My suspicion is that a huge amount of these bugs are browser-specific, and are simply filler for when the hackers can’t find a “good” bug to post on a particular day.

    That being said, I’m beginning to get tired of these “Month of xxx bugs”. All too often, the hackers seem to be craving attention for themselves, or to bring bad publicity on the products themselves. Is that a bad thing? Well, it would be if they found “good” bugs. I don’t think that to be the case here. For example, one of the hackers even talks about “if it ends up being just as lame as the Month of Apple Bugs…”. Exactly. I prove my point.

    So I’m not saying that we should choose to ignore the bugs that exist in MySpace, but simply that it’s not probable to have much success, and will likely do little to improve MySpace’s security (or people’s awareness of it). What’s wrong with a simple bug submission for heaven’s sake?

    10 Common Beer Myths

    Beer GirlsIt seems like there is always that guy in the bar that has a crazy story about the beer he’s drinking. The worst part, sometimes its believable, so you tell someone, then they tell someone, and thats a beer myth. Here are ten of the more outrageous myths about beer and what you need to know to set that guy in the bar straight.Beer Myth 1: Beat the Beer Belly with Light Beer
    OK, light beers have maybe 90-100 calories, regular beers generally have less than 200 calories. A beer lover would say the difference is comparable to the difference between McDonalds and a 5 star restaurant. A dietician would tell you the difference is negligible. So unless you are drinking 300 beers a week, I would drink the good stuff.

    Beer Myth 2: The darker the beer, the more alcohol it contains
    Not even close. Guinness is black, and has 4.2% alcohol. The color of a beer comes from the toasted malts, which has no effect on alcohol content. Ingredients like rice syrup, honey, and corn syrup add alcohol to beer, but do not influence the color.

    Beer Myth 3: Beer is ruined if warmed and then refrigerated
    This can be true, if you do it many, many times, and it will happen gradually. People think re-chilling beer will cause it to be “skunked”. Beer can be ruined by air, light and time. Temperature won’t ruin a beer unless it’s extreme. Get fresh beer and store it in dark place, and it will be fine.

    Beer Myth 4: Imported beers have more alcohol than domestic beers
    This comes from the way US beers reported their beers’ alcohol content. The rest of the world uses “Alcohol by Volume”, here is the US they used “Alcohol By Weight”. Since beer weighs less than water, US beers had smaller numbers, but not less alcohol. 

    Beer Myth 5: The Guinness they serve in Ireland is better
    It seems widely accepted that beer in “the old country” is better than what they export to the rest of the world. The brewing process is cheap, so why would a brewery risk their reputation by brewing a different beer for export? It doesn’t make sense, and it’s not true. With few exceptions, the beer that is exported is the exact same beer that they serve in the bar across the street from the brewery. The difference is purely freshness. It takes two weeks for a keg of Guinness to get from Dublin to your favorite bar in the states. Some beers, like Fosters, is brewed in Canada under a license for sale in the US. But it is clearly stated on the bottle when this is the case.
    Beer Myth 6: Beer shouldn’t be Bitter
    The bitterness of a beer comes from the hops. Hops are in all beers to balance the sweet malts and to act as a preservative. Some beers have a lot of hops, like India Pale Ales (IPAs) and some beers have less hops, like Wheat Beers. Hops can give a beer complexity and add all sorts of flavors and aromas, like pine, citrus, and earthiness. Hops are why people say beer is an acquired taste, but they also make beer delicious.

    Beer Myth 7: The best beers are in green bottles.
    As it turns out, brown bottles protect the beer from the light much better than green bottles or clear bottles. This myth comes from when there was a shortage of brown glass in Europe after WWII. The European beers were bottled in green instead, so green bottles came to represent imports. This certainly isn’t the case anymore.

    Beer Myth 8: The Thai beer Singha has formaldehyde in it
    It seems widely believed that Singha is brewed with formaldehyde, as is Chang beer, San Miguel, Vietnamese 33, and Singapore’s Tiger Beer. The most believable explanation for this one is that Singha is much more bitter and contains more alcohol than most lagers. When American or British expatriots and soldiers were drinking beer in Thailand, they got drunk much more quickly then they were used to, and it was much more bitter flavor then they were used to. To explain this it was suggested that it contained formaldehyde. Crazy. 

    Beer Myth 9: Corona is Mexican Piss
    In the 1980s there was a rumor that Mexican workers were peeing in the Corona tanks that were destined for the US. Certainly alarmingly disgusting… if true. As it turns out this myth was started as a result of Corona’s rising popularity in the US market, and who was jealous? Heineken. This was nothing more than a rumor started by a Heineken wholesaler in Reno. It all worked out, the guy from Heineken admitted his wrongdoing, and Corona continued it’s rise to popularity. But the rumor can still be heard today in bars across the country.
    Beer Myth 10: Women don’t like beer
    Thats crazy! My wife loves beer almost as much as I do. Women have brewed more beer than men in the History of Beer. Sister Doris in Bavaria brews Mallersdorf lager. Fortunately, this myth is far from true.

    Double your salary the smart way

    Money stackIf you’re making $7.50/hour at Mickey D’s you should probably just dump the job and start over. If you’ve got a decent job and think there is a possibility of a pay raise why not give it your best shot. Read through this list and article before approaching your boss OR risk getting shot down and walked all over. Management is used to hearing pay raise requests so you’ll need to actually put some thought into it.

    • They have to have the money. If your company doesn’t have any more money, there isn’t any more for you to get.
    • They have to think you’re worth it. If they figure you’re only barely worth what they’re paying you now, you don’t have much chance of getting more.
    • They have to think you can go elsewhere and get it. You should make it clear that you are thinking of getting more elsewhere, but without being rude. One subtle way is to show up at work better dressed than usual, then leave early with some lame excuse, like a dentist appointment. No one dresses up to go to the dentist, so they’ll suspect you’re interviewing. It’s even more convincing if you actually are going to an interview.
    • You have to be willing and able to go elsewere and get it. If you’re not willing to leave your current job, or not actually able to command more at a different company, you’re not going to be very convincing no matter how hard you try. Get out there, interview a lot, and get some offers. If you can’t really get any better offer elsewhere, you need to figure out why.
    • You have to ask. A lot of people just wait around, hoping their true worth will finally be acknowledged in next year’s review and raise. Doesn’t happen. You have to satisfy all the above conditions, and then actually go in there and ask. When you ask, be firm but polite. A good phrase to use is “I really like working here, but I have a much better offer from company X. If you can match that, there would be no reason for me to consider them.”

    All that said, the odds of getting a really good raise, say 20%, are very small if you stay in your current job, no matter what. The sad truth is that you almost always have to change bosses, departments, or companies to get a really good raise. They figure that you were working for a certain salary, so they shouldn’t suddenly have to give you a lot more to do the same thing. The answer to that, of course, is that they need you and you have a better offer elsewhere. That’s why they should suddenly give you a lot more.

    I did manage to get a 20% raise in the same job once, but I had to play a little game. I knew that my boss’s boss, the guy with the money, liked to secretly snoop our email. OK, I thought, that’s just another channel of communication. If he’s not telling me that he’s snooping, he has no inherent right to be snooping authentic email. So I crafted a fake email apparently from a rival firm, and in it I wrote an offer to myself spelling out the salary. The big cheese at my company did indeed snoop that email, and suddenly I found myself with a large raise, and no explanation. It was very satisfying.

    When going to a new job, remember that the largest single determinant of what you’ll be paid is simply what you were paid in your last job. Salary has little to do with your qualifications. People get offers that are just enough to get them to accept the new job. This means that it is vitally important that a new employer think that you were highly paid in your last job. It’s wonderful if you were highly paid, but what if you weren’t? You may be tempted to lie, but be very careful. It is perfectly within the rights of the hiring company to demand to see pay stubs from your previous employer, or to ask for permission get your previous salary from some other means.

    When you go in and ask, it helps to be ready for the likely excuses. Here are some common ones and how to respond:

    • “It wouldn’t be fair to your co-workers to give you more than they get.” You should reply that what your co-workers make is none of your business. Point out that you just want to be fairly compensated for the value you bring to the company, in light of what you could get elsewhere. Do not start talking about any co-worker, good or bad.
    • “Other people will know you’re getting paid more, and they’ll be jealous.” You should reply that you hope your HR department is capable of keeping salaries confidential.
    • “Ask again in 6 months or a year.” You should reply that you have another offer right now, and it doesn’t make sense to wait

    Sex 101; ten things you didn’t know.

    Sex 101 ChickSome true and pretty damn interesting facts and statistics about america’s favorite pass time. Shit, number 5 even gives you an excuse for not delivering your girls toe curling orgasm anymore.

    1. The typical lovemaking session lasts around 15 minutes: roughly 10 to 12 minutes of foreplay and around 3 to 5 minutes of intercourse.

    2. Humans aren’t the only horny members of the animal kingdom doing it just for fun. Dolphins and a type of chimpanzee called the bonobo have also been observed engaging in sexual activity when they are not in their natural reproductive cycles.

    3. While Viagra has made erectile dysfunction (affecting 10 to 12 percent of men) a household phrase, the opposite problem — premature ejaculation — is more common (affecting 24 to 27 percent of men). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is currently reviewing a drug called dapoxetine as a cure for this problem.

    4. Crank up that thermostat… orgasms may be more intense in warmer conditions. The degree of vasocongestion, reddening or darkeing of the skin known as the “sex flush,” is both more common in warmer temperatures and an indication of how intense an orgasm may be.

    5. If a woman experiences orgasm during sex, she is more likely to become pregnant, since orgasmic spasms in pelvic muscles help move sperm up the vaginal canal to the uterus.

    6. Homosexuality is not unique to humans. Many species have been observed engaging in homosexual activity, and in fact male bats have the highest rate of homosexuality of all mammals.

    7. On any given day 400,000,000 people around the world — 1 in 17 of us — will have sexual intercourse. Broken down further, 4,000 people are having sex at any given time.

    8. Sex cures headaches. Endorphins released into our bloodstream when we have sex not only give us pleasure but also act as painkillers. Useful information to whip out the next time your partner uses a headache as a reason to say no.

    9. Many elderly can and do have frequent sex. At age 70, 73% of males are still potent, and 30% of women 80 or older have still have sex.

    10. 70% of women would rather eat choclate than have sex.
