Peneliti : ternyata pria lebih memilih laptop
 daripada wanita lho !

Hal apa yang pertama kali seorang pria lakukan saat bangun tidur ? Ternyata ketimbang mengucapkan selamat pagi kepada pasangan, banyak pria yang lebih memilih membuka blackberry atau menyalakan laptop dan berselancar di dunia maya saat bangun tidur.

Sebuah jajak pendapat perusahan konsumen menjelaskan, hampir sepertiga wanita mendapati pasangan masih berada di tempat tidur dan langsung menyalakan laptop di pagi hari. Fakta itu makin ditegaskan lewat pengakuan lebih dari seperempat pria yang menyatakan langsung menyalakan laptop atau gadget lainnya setelah bangun tidur.

Bahkan, 89 persen pria kini lebih mempercayai gadget dan informasi di internet sebagai referensi sebelum membeli sesuatu dibandingkan menanyakan pada pasangan mereka. Selebihnya, pria lain masih bergantung pada pendapat wanita saat memilih hadiah untuk saat-saat khusus seperti natal.

Selain itu, studi ini juga menyimpulkan, saat menghadiri sebuah acara resmi, empat dari lima pria masa kini lebih percaya penilaian teknologi dibandingkan penilaian pribadi mereka.

Alex Payne, dari perusahaan survei online Bing Consumer mengatakan, walaupun tetap menghargai pendapat pasangan, teknologi membantu pria menentukan pilihan saat berbelanja terutama belanja online. "Mesin pencari dianggap efektif dalam membantu membuat keputusan," katanya seperti dikutip dari Female First.

Hideous

Lets talk about things that are hideous, shall we?

A high heel sneaker? really? You have got to be kidding... but wait, they are even satin, no?




the lovely pig style sweater...



What even is that?! I love animals, I truly do, but if that thing came near me, I am sure I would run.



Are those lips? What is wrong with this picture?!




Oh yea, those are lips and they happen to be mine. Yes, this is what I woke up to this morning. I look like I was punched repeatedly or that I got really bad collegian injections on only one side of my lips, or both of those options.

It's true, I look hideous... and if that alone isn't bad enough a bum outside my campus library who smelled of his own feces told me; "Oh sweetie, if he hits you, he isn't worth staying with." awesome advice, I will make sure to take that into account.

Tell me have you every had a hideous thing happen to you?

As college football awards and honors continue to be announced, you will notice that TCU is being very well represented. Last week Tejay Johnson was named a finalist for the Thorpe Award, Andy Dalton was named a finalist for the Unitas Award, and Gary Patterson is a finalist for the Eddie Robinson award. Yesterday it was announced that Andy Dalton is also a finalist for the Manning Award, presented to the nation's top quarterback and Tank Carder was named to the American Football Coaches Association All-America team.

Andy Dalton Tabbed a Manning Award Finalist

TCU's Andy Dalton has been announced as a finalist for the Manning Award, presented to the nation's top quarterback.

It's the second straight year Dalton has been a finalist for the Manning Award. He is also a 2010 finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, given to the nation's top senior quarterback.

Dalton is the nation's leader in wins by an active quarterback with 41. He has led TCU to back-to-back undefeated regular seasons and three straight top-10 rankings. The Horned Frogs are third in the BCS standings.

Dalton, who ranks fifth in the nation with a 167.03 pass efficiency rating, has thrown for a TCU single-season record 26 touchdowns with just six interceptions. He is on pace to set a new Horned Frog mark with a career-best 66.2 completion percentage.


Tank Carder Named AFCA All-American

TCU linebacker Tank Carder has been named to the American Football Coaches Association All-America team.

A junior from Sweeny, Texas, Carder is among the TCU leaders with 54 tackles, including 6 1/2 for loss. He has 2 1/2 sacks. Carder is tied for second on the Horned Frogs with five pass breakups while adding an interception and fumble recovery.

Carder is one of the anchors of a Horned Frog defense that leads the nation in total defense (215.4 yards) for a third consecutive season. TCU would become just the third school in NCAA history to lead the nation in total defense in three consecutive years (Toledo, 1969-71; Oklahoma, 1985-87).
