Second generation Razer Blade hands-on

Razer's second attempt at a gaming laptop is just as sleek as its first try, and even more powerful. The second generation Razer Blade -- Razer Blade 2.0, we're calling it -- packs some serious hardware: an unannounced Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M graphics (a big step up from last year's GT 555M inclusion), 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, a 500GB 7200RPM hard drive, and 64GB of solid state storage. All that hardware is stuffed in a nigh identical aluminum chassis to the first edition, with a 17.3-inch high def screen and the infamous multitouch LCD Switchblade interface (read: that bizarre little touch screen built into the keyboard). And all this for the low, low price of ... nearly $2,500. Yikes.

For the savvy, independently wealthy gamer on the go, however, little else on the market compares to Razer's Blade laptop. The second generation focuses on beefing up the tech specs from last year, and that's immediately apparent with the inclusion of the Kepler-grade GTX 660M. Not much else is changed in the hardware department otherwise, with the exception of the USB slots all being upgraded to 3.0 -- the same LCD touch panel display sits on the right side of the keyboard, and its been bolstered with a new software suite.

As we put it in our review of the previous model, the second gen Blade is sexy (clichés be damned). At just two inches tall and a touch over 6.6 pounds, it's by far the lightest gaming laptop out there. The sleek finish is reminiscent of a devilish, gaming-inspired MacBook Pro (the canned 17-inch model, that is), and the touchpad is just as responsive and natural feeling as those on Apple's wares. We'll need to put it through its paces to see how it stacks up benchmark-wise against comparable units (Alienware's m17x, orAsus' gaming laptops), but from our time with it so far, it's another step in the right direction from Razer.

Questions to Ask Before Marrying a Man with Kids marriage, man, woman, husband, wife, love, divorce, children, step-parent, co-parent, ex-wife, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor

Marrying a man with children is a situation where in a lot is at stake. From getting to know the children's mannerisms and raising them as smart individuals to sustaining a peaceful and healthy relationship with your spouse, there are several questions to ask here. With Bollywood’s A-list couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor all set to tie the knot next month, we are hoping the actress will sustain her marriage with full commitment. As far as Saif’s children are concerned, we can only wish Kareena to be a good step parent to them.  

If you are in a similar situation, here are some questions you should ask. 

Am I willing to be a step parent to someone else’s children?
Falling in love is surely not a planned affair. However, marrying the man of your dreams has to be a conscious decision. If the man you are about to marry has children from his previous marriage, things obviously tend to get a little complicated. The question for you to ask is if you can become a step parent to someone else’s children? It is important to remember that parenting your husband’s kids cannot be an overnight task.

Can I manage a relationship that comes with children?When you are marrying a man with kids, you might find it difficult to manage the relationship with perfect ease. But think about this - your decision to settle down with him was a conscious and happy decision. Yes, managing someone else’s children may affect the relationship at any given point, but at the end of the day it completely depends on how accommodating you are.  

How do I develop a healthy relationship with their mother?
A lot of stories you hear may discourage you and people often say that coping with the husband’s ex can be a difficult task. However, don’t overrule the fact that your husband’s ex-spouse can be a sensible and mature woman. If she is, it makes a lot more sense to become friends instead of maintaining a bitter relationship with her.   

Am I ready to nurture and raise the children?
Once you have decided to marry the person, communicate with him more often to set important parenting decisions for the kids. At the same time, remember you do not require prior experience to nurture and raise the children. We say be a united team and settle to become a good step-parent by choice.     

How do I prepare to have my own children?
You may be bogged down by the idea of having your own kids at some point in the marriage.  Communicate with your partner and ask him where exactly he stands on the issue. It may take some time to prepare yourselves to have children of your own, but it's completely okay to raise his children as your own too.

Rebel Getting Choked In Lungi Land Prabhas Rebel Theatres Tamil Nadu Vikram Thandavam Lawrence Rebel Getting Choked In Lungi Land

While the movie got sold for an exorbitant price, the release is not as smooth as expected for this upcoming Telugu flick. With just one day to go, producers might have got startled a bit.

Rebel is all set to hit theatres with expectations bar at peaks and Prabhas waiting for a hat trick hit. However, delay in the production and release of the movie have cost producer a bomb and the only way to recover it is by releasing it in maximum number of theatres. In a bid to achieve that, Rebel is being released in Lungi Land and here is the punch.

Though makers have planned to get 75 theatres, only 35 theatres are procured finally due to the presence of Vikram's 'Thaandavam'. As a pacifying effort, the makers of Telugu Thaandavam have decided to back off from release by a week. But profits in Lungi Land are at a bay for sure. Tomorrow is the big day, and it will decide Rebel's future.

How to Ace a Phone Interview phone interview, job, job interview, office, workplace

You may have appeared for a dozen job interviews, but each attempt feels like it is the first time, isn't it? When a job, and more importantly your career is on the line, you need to think twice. Here's how to nail a job interview, especially if it is conducted over the phone. 

Mind your language: Ensure you’re absolutely fluent in the requisite language. Most of us believe that we are good with it, but pay a little attention to how you speak, and you’ll notice that most of the time you’re saying ‘this thing’, ‘that thing’, ‘you know’ and ‘stuff like that’. Fluency not only means the ability to converse, but to communicate using the right words.

Avoid speaking too fast: Make sure you don't talk too fast during a phone interview. If you end up speaking too fast without any pauses, you are likely to confuse the interviewer. The purpose of language is to communicate effectively. So if you hear him/her say 'sorry' frequently, you need to slow down girl.

Know your words: What is the difference between presume and assume? Knowing which words are appropriate for a certain purpose shows depth and clarity in thought. And this is something that comes through only when you talk, not from your CV. 

Tune into your tone: Keep your tone pleasant and moderately pitched. We normally don’t realise how loud we are (or how squeaky, at times.) Also remember not to mask your voice during the interview. Don’t try to ‘sound’ a particular way. It doesn’t work and in the attempt you end up confused and nervous. Just ensure you don’t get too loud or too excited.

What NOT to say: Remember to greet and add 'sir' or 'ma'am' as the case may be. Always listen first, and then talk. If you want something to be repeated, never go 'Huh?' or 'What?'. It’s always 'sorry', 'pardon' or 'excuse me'. And remember to smile when you’re on the phone, the listener will hear it in your voice.

what should i do for caring of my eyes Eye Care Tips for Women

Eye problems in women are becoming rampant day by day. It may be because of the fact that a woman’s body goes through many changes through the course of her life and these changes inadvertently affect her vision in different ways.Dr. Ajay Sharma, Chief Medical Direction and Founder, Eye Q Super Speciality Eye Hospitals, suggests young girls and women to take a few preventive measures to deter eye-related problems.

Regular check ups: Eye checkups are as important as physical checkups. Even if you don’t have power, you should still regularly get your eyes checked especially if you are close to 40. Cataract, dry eyes, glaucoma and retinopathy are a few common problems that are noticed among women. The best way is to be aware of the symptoms and consult a doctor in case of any discomfort in the eyes. In case there is any hereditary eye disease running in your family, you should know about it and keep in touch with your family ophthalmologist.

Care while home management: It is no secret that women run the household and they take care of the cleaning and maintenance. When it is one of those days which require you to use chemicals, cleaning agents, bleaches or fertilisers, shield your eyes using eye gear to protect them from any reaction. Also, wash your hands after the task. Even while handling power tools and dangerous objects, safety goggles will be our saviour.

Healthy diet: Your eyes need some vitamins and nutrients too. To keep them healthy, maintain a diet full of green leafy vegetables, omega 3 fatty acids, zinc and beta carotene. Additionally, vitamin C and vitamin A supplements can also improve your eyesight. But you should always consult your doctor before consuming supplements.   

Precaution with cosmetics: Never use eye make up which has expired. Anything older than four months should be immediately dumped, aqueous products in particular. A product that you have used for years can cause allergies to. If there is any reaction like redness or itching after applying a product, stop using it and consult an ophthalmologist. And as a precautionary measure, avoid using anyone’s make up.

Eye care during pregnancy: Due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, 50% of the women experience some changes in their vision. Water retention and blood circulation along with hormonal changes affect the shape of your eyes, cornea in particular. Though these changes are temporary, but it is advised that you go to an optometrist to get a checkup. Your contact lenses and spectacles might not work as before and you would need a new pair. Other than that, doctors also prescribe eye drops to deal with dry eyes. For bigger problems like swelling and retinopathy, your doctor will take a different approach. Don’t be apprehensive about going to an optometrist because none of the procedures cause any harm to your baby.

 Every heroine cannot excel in dance and those who excel will always leave their footprints on the floor for the kind of moves they do. Now two movies are depending on one such mouth watering step. Here goes it.

Hero's Daughter With Cinematographer's Nephew Gundello Godaari Sundeep Kishan Manchu Lakshmi Aadi Tapsee

hey are two of a kind. While one's father is known for his majestic image in the Tollywood circuit, the other person's uncle is known for his amazing camerawork. We are talking about the duo of Lakshmi Manchu, daughter of Mohan Babu and Sundeep Kishan, nephew of Chota K Naidu, respectively.

Now, both of them have joined hands for the new movie 'Gundello Godaari' and few interesting things are happening. It is heard that Sundeep likes to live in rich lifestyle, move in swanky cars with designer outfits. However, he has been brought to ground by Lakshmi Manchu as he was made to do a rustic role in the film.

Sources say Lakshmi is very determined and she tortured Sundeep and she also got tortured by essaying the role of a village belle. This is in sharp contrast to their real lifestyle but both must be appreciated for their efforts and challenges they faced. Let us hope this bears fruit at the box office.

First Look: Aaradhya Bachchan face revealed Aaradhya Bachchan First Look Aishwarya Rai Daughter

Finally, the long wait has come to an end. The lensman could get to capture the face of this cute baby only ten months after she was born. This itself shows how protective the Bachchan family is about Aaradhya.

This pic was taken when Ash was on her way to attend an event in New York before meeting Abhishek in Chicago. On Tuesday, Ash and Aaradhya took a flight to New York at 2.30 am. Seems like, the baby wasn't in her best mood as she looked feeling uneasy and the early morning journey might be the reason for it.

Aaradhya looks like a bit of Aishwarya and a bit of Abhishek. She has long eyelashes and the shape of it resembles Ash.

How to Fight Hypothyroidism the Natural Way

Do you feel exhausted all the time? Have you put on loads of weight in all the wrong places? Your hair has lost its sheen and your once flawless complexion has become dull and lacklustre. You might be suffering from hypothyroidism.
 
Hypothyroidism is caused when the thyroid gland (that regulates our metabolic rate and the functioning of various body systems) fails to produce or secrete as much thyroxine (T4) as your body needs. “T4 regulates essential functions of the body such as heart rate, digestion, physical growth, and mental development. An insufficient supply of this hormone can slow life-sustaining processes and damage organs and tissues in every part of the body, leading to life-threatening complications,” explains Dr Shirish Seth.
 
According to a recently conducted survey, women are 10 times more likely than men to suffer from this disorder. But you can fight this disorder with some natural remedies.
 
Change your diet
Nutritionist Naini Setalvad says T4 is produced from iodine drawn from food. “An iodine-deficient diet can cause hypothyroidism. Adding iodine to table salt and other common foods helps eliminate iodine deficiency,” she explains.
 
She suggests you should avoid foods like cabbage, yellow turnips, peanuts, peaches, soybeans and spinach that interfere with T4  production.
 
Special foods
According to Setalvad, some alternative treatments can strengthen the thyroid gland. “A seaweed called bladderwrack or Fucus vesiculosus can improve thyroid function and relieve symptoms of hypothyroidism. This can be either be taken in a capsule form or added in tea,” she explains.
 
She also recommends organic foods as research shows that pesticides and other chemicals in food interfere with glands, giving rise to hormonal problems. “Include more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and sprouts in your regular diet. Choose fish over other kinds of meat and use cold-pressed organic oils such as sesame, olive or ground nut oil,” the nutritionist adds.
 
Exercise right
Regular exercise is an important factor in the treatment of hypothyroidism. “Exercise increases tissue sensitivity to the thyroid hormone and stimulates thyroid gland secretion. A strenuous exercise regime of 15-20 minutes every day will be beneficial,” says Setalvad. She also recommends simple yoga exercises like Sarvangasana and Ujay breathing as they regulate functioning of the thyroid gland.
 
You can perform Sarvangasana with the following tips.

1. Lie straight on your back with your legs together and your hands by your sides with your palms resting on the ground.
2. Inhale and raise your legs to a 30-degree angle. With practice move this up to a 60-degree angle and then to 90 degrees.
3. Exhale and come back to the original position slowly.

Sarvangasan is usually recommended for sturdy individuals who can balance their body weight. It’s not advisable for senior citizens and pregnant women.
 
Setalvad suggests practising ujay breathing for 20 minutes on a daily basis for maximum benefits. All you have to do is:

1. Sit cross-legged on the floor and inhale deeply.
2. Exhale from your mouth while chanting 'Om'.

foods which increase the sperm count. problems relating to infertility. Foods that boost male fertility Foods like pumpkin seeds, pomegranate juice, oysters, asparagus, fruits and vegetables help increase fertility in men. Read on

Almost 40% of the current male population is reported to suffer from problems relating to infertility.

This has been credited to the lifestyle that men nowadays lead accompanied by a not so healthy dose of fertility busting foods like junk food, caffeinated drinks and alcohol. Instead of indulging in such harmful foods here are foods that will increase your odds of becoming a parent.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds contain a good dose of zinc which is said to increase the sperm count. They also contain essential fatty acids like Omega-3 which enhance the blood flow to sexual organs. Other good sources of Omega-3 acids are almonds, sardines, salmon and flaxseed.

Pomegranate

Pomegranate contains a huge amount of antioxidants which help prevent damage against sperms that leads them to becoming sluggish and losing the ability to fertilize an egg. Drinking pomegranate juicealso increases the sperm count as well as fight against erectile dysfunction.

Oysters

Oysters are well-known as aphrodisiacs which are famous for boosting one's sexual drive. Likepumpkin seeds, oysters are also rich in zinc. Consuming a mere 15mg of oysters a day, reportedly helps you to repair the sperm damage caused by environmental and chemical factors.

Asparagus

Asparagus is one food that has been celebrated since the medieval ages for its ability to rev up the sexual drive in both men and women. In fact, asparagus was used by people of medieval ages to treat infertility. It contains Vitamin C which aids in raising your testosterone and sperm count.

Other Fruits and Vegetables

There are many other fruits and vegetables that can increase you chances of preventing fertility. An apple a day is said to keep the sperm count increasing. Another fruit banana is known as a "sexual super food" since it is a rich source of protein, magnesium, Vitamin A, B1 and C. Tomatoes are said to contain an antioxidant called carotenoid lycopene which helps in increasing the sperm count since men struggling with infertility generally have low lycopene levels in the body.

Director's Love For Wet Aunties Sekhar Kammula Heroines Wet Songs Life Is Beautiful

Usually each director has got an eccentric streak inside him and that is often seen onscreen. And if the director belongs to a certain brand and level then such things are more significant. One such director in discussion is Sekhar Kammula and it appears that he has also got a penchant for one thing.
 
Kammula has got this thing of showing aunties getting drenched in rain in his films. In almost every movie of his, he ensured that he drenches his heroines and sexy character actresses. In 'Anand' he did that with Kamalini Mukherjee. In 'Happy Days' he did that with Tamannah.
 
In 'Leader' he did that with the ravishing baby face beauty Richa Gangopadhyay. And in his latest offering 'Life Is Beautiful' he did that with Anjala Zhaveri. The good side is, Kammula has the ability to shoot such scenes aesthetically and the sensuousness is high but with a clean impact. Keep it going Kammula!
