There are lots of world class entertainment ,venues and different ethic dishes that you can find to sample in NYC. You can be be a part of the city due to NYC efficient public transportation and all you need is a cheap Metro Card to bring you to the action.

The Nokia 5800 is designed for young folks whose lives revolve around music. The $407 price tag, before taxes and subsidies, is more than a third below that of an unsubsidized iPhone. And the 5800 will be available from a range of telcom companies, unlike the iPhone, which is officially available only from select providers such as O2 (TEF) in Britain or T-Mobile (DT) in Germany.

HOW TO LIVE LONGER -
DONT DRINK SODA:
Scientists in Boston recently found that drinking one or more regular or diet sodas every day doubles your risk of metabolic syndrome-- combination of conditions that increase your chances of heart disease and diabetes. Experts also speculate that exposing your tastebuds to the sweet fizzy flavor of soda conditions you to crave sugary foods, which can lead to weight gain. Whatever the reason, it's an easy enough habit to quit.
DRINK ENOUGH WATER:
You've probably heard you need about eight glasses of water a day. Drinking water and even eating "watery" foods like melon, greens, and other fruits and vegetables has enormous health benefits, including warding off fatigue.
DRINK AND EAT PURPLE THINGS
Red wine, concord grapes, blueberries (okay, not quite purple, but close enough) all get that deep rich color from polyphenols- compounds that reduce heart disease risk and may even protect against Alzheimer's disease, according to new research.
KEEP LEGS STRONG
Lower-body strength means you also have good balance, flexibility, and endurance. While you probably care more about how your legs look in a mini and a pair of knee-high boots right now, as you get older those attributes reduce your risk of falls, injuries, and hip fractures, all of which are associated with declining health in older folks. So do some squats, lunges, and stair climbing.

healthy ways to cook vegetables- lower your risk of a hearth attack
The researchers found that people who eat a diet high in fried foods, salty snacks, eggs and meat --- had a 35 percent greater risk of having a heart attack than people who consumed little or no fried foods or meat.
People who ate a "Prudent Diet" -- high in leafy green vegetables, other raw and cooked vegetables, and fruits -- had a 30 percent lower risk of heart attack than those who ate little or no fruit and veg, the study showed.
Cooked vegetables lose vitamins, minerals, colors and flavors if not cooked properly. Here are some fast and healthy ways to cook vegetables.
Steaming
Steaming is fast, preserves nutrients, and it works best for fresh and frozen vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, spinach and roots like beets, parsnips, peas and beans. If you don't have a steaming basket, you can fill a pot with mixed vegetables and add about 1 1/2 inches of unsalted water and cover. Simmer until the vegetables are tender. Check often to make sure that the water doesn't evaporate. If it gets too low, just add a little more water. Don't forget to keep the remaining broth for soup or do what I do, pour it in a nice mug and enjoy the warm flavorful broth.
Roasting
Roasting is quick, simple, and is an excellent way for cooking vegetables as it preserves the vitamins, flavors and minerals. In a large bowl, cover sliced vegetables with olive oil. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Place them on a cookie sheet and roast them at 350 degrees until tender.
Stir- frying
Stir-frying is another very good flavor and color preserving cooking method. Sliced vegetables are put in frying pan covered at bottom with any liquid for cooking such as chicken broth or a broth made from stir-fry seasonings. Constantly stir the vegetables until they are crispy and glossy.
As most of the ways I described are based on waterless cooking as it reduces cooking time, makes cooking easy, easy clean of cooking ware and most of all no loss of nutrient in juices of vegetable giving more flavor to food.
Panning
Vegetables can also be cooked by the steam produced by their own vegetable juices. In a fry pan, add a little olive oil, sliced vegetables and your favorite seasonings. Cover the pan, put it on medium heat, and within 5-8 minutes you’ll have spicy and crispy vegetables. Stir often. Panning works best for carrots, beans, summer squash and shredded cabbage.

apple iphone vs blackberry
Lookout, Blackberry (RIMM) has the Storm coming out for the 2008 holiday season
which Verizon is loading up in every sales reps hands.
"I own an IPHONE and a Blackberry. The IPHONE is really a slick piece of junk. The only thing I like about it is the ability to play music and videos. The Blackberry is solid and functional. I can actually type while I am walking, driving or outdoors. You can't do any of these with the IPHONE. I have big fingers and find the IPHONE close to useless to text or e-mail on. Very slow and laborious. The iPhone 3g burns through it's battery in about a day under normal use. So, my take is if you want something for business the Blackberry is a must. If you want to watch a video on the plane and don't want to carry around a $100 DVD player, buy the IPHONE. The problem I see with Apple is "where's the beef?" They PC lines are all WAY overpriced and hard to get. If you want to go run out and buy a $700 laptop for your neice going to college you can forget Apple. And if you don't live in New York or Los Angeles you'll probably have to get your Apple online."

How to cure or prevent hangover- eat a heavy meal before drinking, aspirin, water, ru-21 suppliment and gatorade
I like dringking alcohol but I hate hangover in the morning.
My personal technique to fight hangover in the morning is to drink lots of water after drinking and then some more during bedtime.
These are hangover cures and preventions:
1. Eat a heavy meal before drinking
Food delays gastric emptying in the stomach -- meaning alcohol stays there longer and is processed more slowly. Don't drink on an empty stomach. "The longer alcohol stays in the stomach," says Dr. Swift, "the better your body breaks it down."
2.Aspirin
Popping two the night before fights off headaches before they start . But be careful. "Aspirin can irritate the stomach," says Dr. Swift. And mixing alcohol and Tylenol can damage the liver.
3. RU-21 supplement
It slows down the creation of a nasty by-product -- the one that causes headaches and nausea -- while speeding up the destruction of others.
4. Stay Hydrated: Water
Alcohol inhibits secretion of the hormone vasopressin, bringing on dehydration, which exacerbates the symptoms of intoxication. Drink loads at the end of a night, or drink throughout the evening. A glass of water every hour is a great idea.
5. Gatorade
Gatorade's six percent carbohydrate solution promotes rehydration better than mere water. Drink one or more huge bottles at the end of the night. You will feel better in the morning. The extra salt helps your body absorb the fluid more quickly.
Avoid salt if you are in a weight loss program because salt will retain water.
