Absolument Absinthe: A Scandalous Perfume

Famous for his skills as a grand nez (a ?great nose?), Monsieur Villaceque was seasoned in the practice of cold extraction, heat concentration, and alembic distillation, and was therefore able to attain a pure essence of the absinthe plant. Into a concoction it went, along with 50 other essences (including cannabis) that made...

Essential Self-Defense Tips: Weapon Disarming Pa...
Last week, Sensei Anthony Britton showed a basic weapon disarming move from a frontal attack. This week, he introduces ?Bargaining Position B,? which occurs from the back when you have been accosted by an attacker.

We would all like a little contouring to give our face a little more shape. If you do it properly, you might even look like you lost a few pounds! This method is particularly useful for people like me who lack a well defined bone structure. For those that don?t have this problem, you can further enhance your looks (lucky you!).

Dr. Cheryl: Is Obesity Contagious?
According to a reputable research study reported in The New England Journal of Medicine yesterday, yes it is! But hold on now, don?t panic. Before you pull out your hazmat suit, you?ll be relieved to know that your body is already built with antibodies to fight off this epidemic?it?s called self-awareness and will power. That?s right.
