Adidas To Launch Star Wars Sneakers

Adidas has finally stepped into a galaxy far far away and the first step is adorned with Star Wars sneakers.

Adidas originals is launching a new Star Wars range of sneakers early in 2010 under their spring/summer collection. The sneakers aimed at pimping your feet would only be sold after a through aptitude test, that is, only a man worthy enough of walking in Skywalker’s shoes would be able to buy them.








Osama has already put forth his claim for Vader sneakers. If you thought you were evil enough to wear Vader sneakers, you would have to come up with at least one ‘new’ plan of mass destruction. And no nuclear weapons allowed; well this decision came when one of the jury members (for selection of the rightful owner of Vader sneakers) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (President of Iran) raised doubts over their (nuclear weapon’s) fashion quotient.

Other available designs are Han Solo sneakers (the bearer will be untimely killed), Imperial Storm-Trooper (the owner will be a looser) and my personal favorite Yoda sneakers (no competition here folks I’m wearing them on my feet).

10 Irrefutable benefits of Staying Single

Despite the startling rise in divorce rates, martial feuds and extra-marital coupling, a surprisingly huge percentage of Indians continue to believe in the sanctity of thesaath pheras. Everybody wants to get hitched and that too for life, and those who can’t, anxiously plan and prepare for the day, they become betrothed. But think about it. Is being single, really that bad a thing? I know it can rankle if most of your erstwhile siblings and buddies are satisfactorily hitched and all you have to show for yourself is an Xbox 3 and a well fed Labrador. Not that owning a Labradoris a bad thing. Dogs are definitely greatest creation of God after women. But let’s not get into that.

The point is if you do have a girlfriend, finance or a wife, we couldn’t be happier. Treat her like the princess she is and do whatever it takes to make the relationship a success. But if you’re single, then things are actually not as bad as they seem. Singledom isn’t the worst thing in the world. In fact all things considered thebenefits of being single far outweigh its downsides.

If you won’t believe my words and force me back my cosy blanket statement with some strong logical augments, here are ten irrefutable reasons to turn you into a believer:

1. Didn’t we struggle for more than two centuries to win our freedom from the white oppressors? Men love their freedom and the pleasure of hopping on their bikes at one in the morning and shooting of into the darkness to celebrate the serenity of being single.

2. No one can question your late hours and inexplicably long disappearances (unless you live with your mom). No on can challenge your decision to attend inane programs (minus the risk accidentally expanding your mind). You can party till late at night with your close friends while calculating your chances of convincing the one of girls on the opposite booth for a one night stand.

3. What you earn stays with you and doesn’t have to be shared with your partner. So apart from the government, no one can freeload on your income and you can blow your pay cheque on those necessary trivial pursuits that makes life worth living.

4. No one can glare at you when you perform unexpected body musicals, especially with nether regions.

5. You can spend productive private moments at home blasting your favourite music and giving Emmy worthy performances assisted only by your lungs and a hairbrush.

6. No one will be able to force you come to bed the second the clock strikes 11 only to be woken up by bawling baby, who wants his nappy changed. Conversely if you stay unmarried and don’t have a live in partner, you wont have to stay up till2 a.m. just because your significant other can’t sleep and feels an insatiable urge to do something exciting – talk about all the exciting incidents at her work.

7. No only will constantly nag and remind you of all the stuff, you forget to do. Never mind, since you will be rescued by your memory, someday, when its already too late. But that of course is another story.

8. You can stay late at office and watch pay-per-view porn without having to invent plausible yarns with involving words like ‘important meeting’, ‘deadlines’ and ‘presentations’ to face the interrogation session when you get back home.

9. You can simultaneously pick your nose (which by the way is a disgusting habit) and scratch your crotch (a necessary evil – both the act and the area) without getting rapped on your knuckles.

10. Last and most importantly of all – you can be yourself for as long as you want.

24 GB RAM for the World’s Fastest Desktop Computer

If you ever wanted to make your own Skynet mainframe (you know, from Terminator? You don’t remember? It’s the AI system hell bent on destroying the earth. Yup, that one), but didn’t have the money? Now you don’t have to rely on the Cyberdyne, or even reverse engineering technology from an alien race. Nope, this isn’t a funny infomercial.

Corsair Memory, a California based computer hardware company has manufactured, no, given life to an insane 24 GB RAM kit. Rightly called Dominator, the kit costs $1300, and comprises of six 4 GB memory modules rated at1333MHz. It may seem beastly on your current home PC. It is – the Dominator is meant for the latest Core i7 processors, whose beauty, reader, will take another article to explain.
This memory kit is designed for the new breed of superfast desktop computers - the i7 desktops, and is compatible with new computers from Dell, Gateway and Alienware on the Intel X58 platform.

The SWEATER fashion of 2009

Winter is here, and apparently, an activity as uncool as knitting has its own community with its own code of conduct. The community even has its own superstitions; 41% of polled knitters seriously believe in the ‘Sweater Curse’. The Sweater Curse is a situation where “a knitter gives a hand-knit sweater to a significant other, who quickly breaks up with the knitter.”A deeper understanding of the Curse revealed that most of the time, knitting a sweater for a potential beloved could be interpreted as a sign of anxiously seeking the receiver’s approval, i.e. the knitter is a desperate loser.

Sweaters and Where to Wear Them

·
Crew Neck: with a round neck, it is considered the most casual sweater style for men. Good for thin men. Wear solid colours under blazer for smart casuals.

· Polo: A sporty raised collar, with buttons, or zip. Smart casual. Don’t wear it to work or other formal occasions.

· Turtleneck: wholly or partially covers the neck. There are no rules about how much neck you can show. Best bought in solid colours, wear under leather jackets and blazers. Good for thin men.

· Mock Neck: a wannabe, 1/3^rd of a turtleneck.

· Boat Neck: A slightly wider neckline. Do a Google Images search for ‘Boat neck sweaters’ and you’ll find them being worn by women and bald little babies. Do a Google Images search for ‘Men’s Boat neck sweaters’, and you’ll still find them being worn by women. Apparently worn at fashionable occasions.

· Cardigan: Sweater with a row of buttons; can be opened. Reminiscent of Grandpa.

V-Neck: triangular neckline. They expose the neck and bring attention to thinness, so thin people shouldn’t wear them. Versatile; can be worn with jeans/khakis and T-/shirts. Don’t wear deep V necks, as you don’t have (and shouldn’t have) anything to show off.

More on Sweaters and Body Types
Large People

If you are on the large side of things, avoid chunky or bulky wool sweaters. Instead, go for cashmere; it’ll keep you warm without keeping you lumpy. Alternatively, a formal shirt with V-neck sweater is flattering, especially for the midsection.

Thin People

The opposite is apposite for people on the bony side of things. Wear heavy fabrics, such as thick-knit sweaters.

Long-waisted people

A long-waisted person’s legs are short, especially in comparison to a long torso. To create a break in the vertical line of your body, wear contrasting colours of sweater and pants.

Short-waisted

If your legs are longer than your torso, wear sweaters and jackets that hang below your waist

Fabrics

Cashmere high quality cashmere lasts long, especially with dry cleaning. There is a reason why it’s called cash mere (and it’s not because it comes from Kashmiri wool goats): it’s expensive. Not as thick as wool, so preferred to stuff. Best for professional appearances in neutral colours (black, gray, navy)

Cotton-knit Sweaters: Buy them tightly knit as they retain shape, and snag less. Not as warm as wool. So wear them on days when the air has nothing but a wee nip.
Mohair and angora: Low maintenance. Keep away from heat and moisture, so don’t machine wash or tumble dry.

Merino tends to snags and pile in little frizzy balls (called pills). Still, if you can afford it, buy it for its tightly wound yarn and soft comfortable wool.

Avoid chenille; sounds exotic, but is the most problematic, due to its tendency to lose shape, snag often, and sensitivity to moisture. Silk and rayon also suffer the same problems, and also tend to retain odor, even after washing or dry cleaning.

Sweaters are also made of fabric blends; spend time trying out the sweaters for itchiness or discomfort.

Maintenance

· Pills are caused by friction, so avoid any kind of indirect rubbing, such as wearing them under a jacket which might move often.
· Keep sweater moth-free

· Don’t wash sweaters with ornamentation (beads, crystals); dry clean. (But why would you wear a sweater with crystals?)

Patterns

Apart from a clean pattern-less look, there are really only two sweater patterns a guy should be concerned about. Avoid the reindeers and the monkeys of the world; your sweater is not a zoo’s yearbook.

Argyle is a pattern of varicolored diamonds on a solid background. It never goes out of style.
Knit pattern: A recurring geometrical shape, the most common is of the long, alternating braids.

How to Size Up an Arm Wrestling Opponent

Arm wrestling is often mistaken as a brutish

sport without any strategy. However, to win a bout

you will need to be as strong mentally as you are

physically and one of the key mental aspects of

arm wrestling is the ability to quickly size up your

opponent.

Carefully observe the physical characteristics of

rival. Notice the size of forearms and hands. The

smaller they are, the more aggressive you can

expect your opponent to be. Such an opponent

will try and beat you using leverage and

speed rather than raw power.

While shaking your opponent’s hands, test his

grip. Carefully feel intensity and method of the grip.

In order to do this squeeze the arm hard till your

opponent squeezes back. If there are any issues

with his grip, it will made known to you.

Try and stare down the opponent and maintaining

a strong, resolute eye contact. He should be the

one to look away first. An arm wrestler can

gain a significant advantage if his rival's gaze is

unsteady or he looks away too quickly. This will

not only boost your confidence but will serve to

dent your opponent mentally.

Work out the arm angle your opponent is most

likely to use. Usually arm stoutly built arm wrestlers

need large angles to compete effectively. Stay in

close and refuse to give him any room to work

out his angles. Participants with huge muscular

arms mistakenly believe that the trick to winning an

arm wrestling bout is maximizing bicep force. In

reality, the entire body is used during an arm

wrestling match. By using your balance and

weight you can easily gain an edge in a match with

your gorilla armed opponent.
