The lack of Wi-Fi and a regular headphone jack are disappointments, but the combination of a responsive touch screen and a great design makes this an excellent mobile phone.

A FULL touch-screen mobile phone that also features a physical slide-out keypad, Samsung’s UltraTouch aims to provide the best of both worlds. This stylish slider phone is a great option for people who are intrigued by touch-screen technology but aren’t ready to throw away the familiar physical keys just yet.

The Samsung UltraTouch features a stylish, brushed steel finish on the front, and curved, gloss grey casing on the rear. Samsung has added some interesting touches to the design – red edging and a chequered red finish surrounding the camera lens distinguish this handset from its competitors.

The Samsung UltraTouch is quite thin and has a smooth, spring-operated slider that feels well built. A nice inclusion is the lock key on the right side of the phone – press it to lock the display and press and hold it to unlock. Alternatively, sliding open the UltraTouch automatically unlocks the display.

Following on from the Samsung Omnia and the Samsung F480, which both have touch screens, the Samsung UltraTouch features a capacitive touch screen. The difference here is the display technology is AMOLED (active-matrix organic light emitting diode).

Samsung claims this technology uses less power but offers increased brightness, better colour and clarity and higher definition. We are inclined to agree, as the UltraTouch’s 2.8” display is very impressive, offering superb viewing angles, rich colour and excellent brightness.

We used the Samsung UltraTouch directly alongside the iPhone and the former clearly has the superior display, despite the iPhone’s screen being much larger.

Strict diets and training sessions are not usually linked to successful long-term weight control. Research and client observation regularly confirm that the daily habits we exhibit when it comes to our health and fitness tend to differentiate those who keep their weight stable and those who do not.

It is suggested that it takes at least three months for a new habit to cemented. However, more  often than not we give up after a days or weeks of trying something new, deeming it a failure and searching for another new gimmick or package.

Having a healthy routine we can stick to is the best way to control weight

See how we are able to adopt so they become our lifestyle norm.

1. eat breakfast – means we are less likely to snack on poor-quality food during the day

2. weight ourselves regularly – knowing whether our weight is creeping up

3. alwyas have asnack with us – carrying a small & nutritious snack with us, means that we are less likely to visit the vending machine.

4. cut the fat – cutting on excessive fat (fats found in foods such as biscuits, cakes, pastries, fries, burgers and fast food) is one of the most important things we can do on a daily basis.

5. eat more vegetables – eating brightly coloured vegetables is linked to a reduced risks of developing some types of cancer.

Is longer sex really BETTER?

Posted by admin | Posted in Health, Thoughts | Posted on 29-06-2009

This above titled-article is the topic of the week from the week-end ”sexual health” in the Soul & Body section of the Sunday Mail, which I found interesting; considering the splashes by media, advertisements on TV, radio and newspaper.

I believed it was written by Dr. G Morrisey (drg@grabrielle.com) who has been a human sexuality and relationship expert since 1990. You can read some of her story t www.drgabrielle.com.

Question: My girlfriends and I were discussing how men are conditioned to believe that longer is better in terms of sexual performance, but sometimes woman doesn’t want a guy who keep going for ages. And nor should men feel that they can’t lose control sometimes. The media have created pressure on men to make sure they don’t en it all quickly. There are also ads about how men should “have-longer-lasting sex”. I wonder if anyone has asked women if it’s what they really want?

That last one is how you’ll figure out what a woman really want.

Answer: This is a complex question. But you are right; splashed everywhere in the media is the simplistic message that “bigger, longer, more leads to oh, oh, oooh”. This is contradictory ti research, which indicates that more than 40% of women have faked orgasm “to get it over with”. As you say, the idea has been perpetuated that the best sex is sex that goes on for as long as possible. As for it being the best expression of lovemaking, or sexual intimacy, that’s different matter.

We are all taught to measure some degree of man’s masculinity, and even his “worthiness” as a man, by his skills as a lover. And those skill are measured by him being able to last a long time, because, if he can go on and on, if will drive her wild and mean he has great sexual prowess. And if he doesn’t last long, she won’t be satisfied.

There are so many falsehood in these concepts.

In reality, if he not doing the right thing in the right places, that’s just agony, or frustrating, or plain boring for women.

Firstly, intercourse is often not the most pleasurable experience for the women without adequate clitoral stimulation. If that’s not happening, her socks will not be knocked off, no matter how long a man goes for.

Secondly, the majority of nerve endings stimulated during the intercourse are in the outer third of the vagina, and not deep inside, so the idea that a long sex session is increasing her pleasure because it’s stimulating so many parts of her body is misinformed. A woman is more likely to have orgasm during intercourse if she has experienced one (or more) prior to penetration. So if anything is to be made longer, it’s foreplay, not intercourse.

As for losing control, too, are part of s healthy, varied sex life. While they are not recommended as the staple of a couple’s sex life, they enable couples to connect. Quickies can be fun and the more often you have sex, the greater your desire for sex.

A lot of couple are time poor. They don’t initiate sex because they think they’ve got to have the time and energy for long, exciting session every time. This isn’t so. Many couples would prefer some connection through a short amount of lovemaking rather than none at all. This is what I call “maintenance sex”, and there is nothing wrong with it.

So what women want? It’s complex. Longer-lasting sex is not her measure of what kind a amn you are. Women may want to go for longer sometimes, but not every time, instead, focus on longer foreplay for better sex, as well as cuddling afterwards, and talking and listening.

That last one is how you’ll figure out what a woman really want.
