If You're Not Married by 28 It Means...
...you're an old maid! That's the word from a new survey from Lenox, the china company. They found that 78 percent of Americans think a woman should be married by age 28 or it's just too late. Men get a break. Just 66 percent of Americans think men should say "I do" by that age.

The Worst Shoes Women Can Wear
Maybe we should all just go barefoot. Finding the perfect pair of shoes is a quest for many women. Sexy is always good. Stylish is essential. Comfortable is wonderful, but not always thought to be necessary. We are ruining our feet. Just ask podiatrists who are probably able to send their children to the nation's most expensive colleges thanks to their brisk business repairing so many feet wounded by high-heels. "The current trend in fashion is very bad for women's feet," Dr. Lloyd Smith told New York Times reporter Lorraine Kreahling. Smith is president of the American Podiatric Medical Association. "Super high heels with very narrow toes create problems and exacerbate existing conditions."

Police: Hooker Turns in Customer for Porn
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) - A hooker turned in a customer after seeing child pornography, including a video of an apparent toddler rape, on the man's home computer, police said.
Detective Carlos Negron said police were contacted by the woman on Tuesday, saying that while working at the man's apartment as a prostitute she saw numerous pictures of children who appeared to be between ages 3 and 16 performing sex.
The woman told police that it was a disturbing video that showed the rape of a younger child, perhaps no older than 2, that caused her to make the call after she left the apartment, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
Negron said Federico Eduardo Amezaga, 29, let investigators search his apartment, where they found numerous photos and videos of children performing sex acts.
Officers arrested Amezaga on 15 charges of possessing child pornography and took him to the Broward County Jail, where he was being held Friday in lieu of $150,000 bond.
He is being represented by the Broward County public defender's office, which did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

The Phrases That Make Her Freak
By Laura Snyder
As much as we complain that you boys are oh-so uncommunicative, not all talk is good. Here are just a few examples of what not to say.
"Have you gained weight?"
If she did, trust us, she knows and does not need your friendly suggestion that she hit the gym a little more often. And what if she brings it up? She just wants your reassurance - not a critical confirmation that, yes, that dress is a little snug - so give it to her.
"You're right, she is a bitch."
As much as she complains about her mom/boss/coworker/friend, it sure seems like she would want you to agree with her. But beware this trap. If you agree, she gets defensive (especially if it's someone she's really tied to, like dear old mom). If you stick up for the maligned, you're siding with the enemy. Best bet? Be vague. Echo back her sentiments ("she did x, y, and z to you?") and offer your support ("I'm sorry you're upset").
"Is it that time of the month?"
Should you dare to utter this question, at least make sure she's not holding something she could hit you with. If she's mad about you because you did something stupid (and yes, you are capable of making us mad for reasons wholly unrelated to our hormones), she'll be even more livid that you're trivializing her anger. And if she is a little testy due to PMS, you're just going to set her off even more (and it's not likely she'll admit it anyway).
"One time, with this other woman..."
We know you're awfully proud of that "Night of Five Times" or the time you did your dame in the upper deck at Fenway. But if it wasn't with us, we don't ever want to hear about it. Ditto for any comparisons between us and your ex, even if we come out more favorable. Before you pour out your private life, ask yourself if it's really in our best interest (like pertinent health information) or if you're just looking to brag.

his Food Can Make Men Aggressive
Men: Beware how much soy you consume. It could change your behavior. It's long been known that soy is beneficial to women in a number of ways, but new research from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center indicates the same is not true for men. In fact, a diet rich in soy isoflavones, especially through the use of soy supplements, can have marked influences on patterns of aggression and social behavior in men, reports HealthDayNews. Isoflavones, which are found in soy protein, are a naturally occurring plant estrogen. For women, the benefits of a diet rich in soy are numerous. Soy can reduce the risk of various cancers, as well as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and some postmenopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes.
