New York - Mens Fashion: The Color Is Black

Black is the quintesential color choice for any man living in New York City. Whether its because of its street smart rock culture roots -- (think Warhol and Lou Reed)... or if its the rougher edged Ramones or the apocolyptic street sense of The New York Dolls.... Its black all the way and that will most likely never change.

According the Askmen.com, (the super blog for the fashion conscious) various shades of Black are just the ticket for the rough and tumble weather of NYC. I have to agree. The streets and nightlife are far from anything you will find in California or smart Miami beach. If the patterns and fabrics are cut just right then you can wear these garments with just about anything -- either dressy or laid back.... its really up to the individual.

Lambskin is a nice choice. You can find out exactly the right type of look and fit at:

Spring is almost here but it won't be here for quite a while. So to keep you looking cool and in control during these turbulant weeks ahead check out some of these killer fashions.

CHOCOLATE HEALTH !!!

".....WHAT?"

Just a few years ago the health and nutrition industry was claiming among other things that chocolate was one of the most destructive things you could put in your body.

Seriously.

Now...... that has been reversed. The NEW CLAIM is that this is one of the BEST things you can put in your body because of all the antioxidants....... HONEST!

Here is what the experts now tell us.....
"Researchers have some news for chocolate lovers: it may be good for you. Scientists reported preliminary evidence recently that cocoa and other chocolates may keep high blood pressure down, your blood flowing and your heart healthy.

The research, the latest which correlates eating flavonoid-rich foods with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease(1), was presented in February at the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) annual meeting in Boston.

One study found that a substance in cocoa helps the body process nitric oxide (NO), a compound critical for healthy blood flow and blood pressure. Another study showed that flavonols in cocoa prevent fat-like substances in the bloodstream from oxidizing and clogging the arteries, and make blood platelets less likely to stick together and cause clots.

Flavonoids are plant compounds with potent antioxidant properties; so far, scientists have found more than 4,000 kinds. Cocoa beans contain large quantities of flavonoids, and so do red wine, tea, cranberries, peanuts, strawberries, apples and many other fruits and vegetables.(2) The flavonoids in chocolate are called flavonols.

Pedicure Bandit Caught - Top Strange Story

Whew -- You can all breath again. You can all walk the streets in safety again too as far as that goes. The infamous pedicure bandit has been caught, apprehended and put away......

Check it out....

Police Arrest Accused 'Pedicure Bandit'
AP
LAKE BLUFF, Ill. (Feb. 5) - Police say a man accused of failing to pay for pedicures and other spa treatments led officers on a brief foot chase before he was arrested. Marshall G. Wolbers, 56, of Lake Bluff, has been charged with theft of services, police said Monday. He was arrested over the weekend near a train station. "He ran away from the officers across a parking lot and tried to get into a taxi ...

That's when he was apprehended," Deputy Police Chief David Belmonte said. Authorities had been searching for a man fitting Wolbers' description who received a number of services in at least 20 spas in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin since last March and left without paying the bill. Belmonte said an officer had spotted Wolbers in a vehicle

Thursday evening. But when police tried to pull him over, he led them on a chase through several suburban Chicago communities. The chase was called off because Wolbers was driving recklessly.

He eventually was captured at the Lake Bluff train station Saturday morning. Wolbers, who also was cited with several traffic violations, is free on $20,000 bond.
