DINNER FROM ABOVE

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WHILE SUSPENDED 150 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND???

Last night, I was surfing the Net when I happened upon THIS . . .

--Apparently, there's something called Dinner in the Sky where, basically, you and 21 of your closest friends sit down for dinner around a large table . . . which is then hoisted 150 feet in the air by a large crane. (CCTV)

(--FYI, Dinner in the Sky costs $225 apiece . . . or around $5,000 overall. But make sure everyone uses the bathroom BEFORE getting on the crane, because if you have to use it while in the sky . . . the entire crane will have to be lowered.)

UNDERSTANDING SLANG

THERE'S A WEBSITE THAT HELPS PARENTS UNDERSTAND THE SLANG THEIR KIDS USE:

Do your kids use so much slang that you have NO IDEA what they're talking about half the time?

--If so, you should check out a new website called GotATeenager.org.uk . . . which is basically a dictionary to help parents understand teen slang.

--So what sort of slang is decoded on Got-A-Teenager?

--"Flossing": to show off. (--As in, "Look at that guy flossing in his new car.")

--"Beef": to have a problem. (--As in, "I have beef with him, so we're going to fight.")

--"Sick": good. (--As in, "Your new shoes are sick.")

--"'Rents": parents. (--As in, "My 'rents grounded me.")

LET'S ALL TWIST - FOREVER

"BILLBOARD" SAYS CHUBBY CHECKER'S "TWIST" IS THE MOST POPULAR SONG OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS:

"Billboard" recently set out to find the most POPULAR #1 song throughout the entire history of their Hot 100 singles chart, which dates back to 1958. In the end, they named CHUBBY CHECKER'S hit, "The Twist", their top single.

The Hot 100 chart measures radio airplay and uses sales information . . . (--now including digital downloads) . . . to determine a song's popularity. The math behind this overall list is pretty complicated, and they haven't released their entire process yet.

The way "popularity" has been tracked has evolved throughout the years . . . so they basically just tried to create a formula to get a level playing field for all the #1 songs.

--Here is their final list of the Top 10 #1 songs, over the past 50 years:

#1.) "The Twist", CHUBBY CHECKER (1960)
#2.) "Smooth", SANTANA (featuring ROB THOMAS) (1999)
#3.) "Mack the Knife", BOBBY DARIN (1959)
#4.) "How Do I Live", LEANN RIMES (1997)
#5.) "The Macarena", LOS DEL RIO (1995)
#6.) "Physical", OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN (1981)
#7.) "You Light Up My Life", DEBBY BOONE (1977)
#8.) "Hey Jude", THE BEATLES (1968)
#9.) "We Belong Together", MARIAH CAREY (2005)
#10.) "Un-Break My Heart", TONI BRAXTON (1996)

--Even though THE BEATLES only reached #8 on their All-Time singles chart . . . they WERE named the #1 band in the history of the Hot 100 chart

--The latest songs that you'll be able to pretend to master on guitar, include: THREE TOOL tracks . . . "Schism", "Parabola" and "Vicarious" . . . plus . . .

--"The Joker", STEVE MILLER BAND

SOCIAL NETWORKING WARNING

YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE COULD PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING YOUR DREAM JOB:

If you're under the age of 40, there's a pretty decent chance you have a profile page on a social networking website like MySpace or Facebook. But if you do . . . you should be really careful about what you put up on your page. Why? According to a recent survey, 22% of hiring managers say they use social networking sites to research job candidates. And of those managers, ONE in THREE have found something that caused them to dismiss a job candidate from consideration.

--So what sort of stuff could prevent you from getting your dream job?

#1.) Posting information about drinking or using drugs.

#2.) Posting provocative or inappropriate pictures of yourself.

#3.) Demonstrating poor writing or communication skills.

#4.) Using an inappropriate screen name. (PR Newswire)

WORKING OUT

***FIVE WAYS TO STICK TO A WORKOUT***

Some days it's hard to get off the couch and get exercise. And once you make the decision to improve your health, it's even HARDER to keep at it. So here are five tips on how to make sure you keep exercising . . .

#1.) MAKE EXERCISE FUN. You're more likely to workout if you enjoy it. If you hate to run, DON'T force yourself to do it. Instead, take a dance class or join a softball league. Only commit to something you'll look forward to.

#2.) SCHEDULE YOUR WORKOUT. You're more likely to exercise if you set aside a SPECIFIC TIME each day. On the days you're feeling lazy, work out for at least 10 minutes. If you want to stop after 10, you can, but you'll probably keep going.

#3.) FIND A WORKOUT BUDDY. You're less likely to quit if you work out with ANOTHER PERSON. So, hire a trainer, or just work out with a friend. On the days you don't feel like making the effort, the other person will hold you accountable.

#4.) SET A GOAL. If you're trying to lose weight, know how many pounds you want to lose. If you time yourself when you run, try to beat that time the next time you work out. It will motivate you to keep going.

#5.) CHANGE YOUR WORKOUT. If you get bored, don't be afraid to CHANGE THINGS UP. Try a new class at the gym, hike different trails, learn a new sport, or find a new training program online. If you keep things interesting, you'll keep exercising.

BRAIN WAVES

ARE YOU RIGHT-BRAINED OR LEFT-BRAINED???

Have you ever wondered if you're right-brained or left-brained? (--Just to remind you, people who are left-brained are generally more logical and think more linearly . . . while people who are right-brained are more visual, spatial and creative.)

--Well, we found an easy test to help determine which side of your brain is dominant. --Start by clasping your hands together. Now look at your thumbs. If your right thumb is on top, you're left-brained. And if your left thumb is on top . . . you're right-brained. (BBC)

GET ON THE BOSS'S GOOD SIDE

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU GET ON YOUR BOSS'S GOOD SIDE:

You might be the best, most qualified employee on the job, but if your boss doesn't like you . . . you could still get canned. With that in mind, here are some tips for getting on your boss's good side:

#1.) Don't make too many demands, or complain too much. Nobody likes a complainer. If you're always making demands, or requesting time off . . . your boss might start thinking about replacing you with someone who's a little lower-maintenance.

#2.) Mentor colleagues . . . and become a "go-to" guy. Basically, if your co-workers like you, it's going to be a lot harder to fire you. Plus, if you're more reliable than other people in the office . . . that makes you more valuable to the company.

#3.) Don't leave until five minutes after your boss does. You want your boss to think you really care about your job (--even though you don't). A great way to do that is to wait until just after he leaves the office . . . before calling it a day.

#4.) Pay attention to the tiniest of details. Be on time to meetings, spell check all your emails, and return phone calls. A lot of time, it's the small stuff that will determine whether you get to keep your job . . . or have to hit the unemployment line.

#5.) Be direct with your boss. If you're worried you're going to get canned, ask your boss what you can do to prevent that from happening. And if you're really worried you're going to get fired, consider taking a pay cut. (Yahoo Hot Jobs)

WE LOVE THE 80S

THE '80S HAVE BEEN NAMED THE "COOLEST" DECADE OF THE LAST 50 YEARS:

Think back: What was your favorite decade of the last 50 years?
- Well according to a new online survey, 41% of people think the 1980s were the "coolest" decade.
-The 1960s came in SECOND place with 20%.

-The 1990s came in THIRD with 17%.

-The 1970s came in FOURTH with 12%.

-And the years since 2000 came in LAST place with just 10%.
(--I guess it makes sense that the current decade is seen as the least "cool". Then again, if this poll were taken in the '80s, that decade probably would have been seen as the least cool.) (Sky News)

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DECADE AND WHY? - Nazzy

A HOLE IN ONE

A FIVE-YEAR-OLD KID MADE A HOLE-IN-ONE:

There are golfers who spend their entire life trying to hit a hole-in-one . . . and it NEVER happens for them. --Then there are people like 5-year-old Drew Gray of Belleville, Illinois (--which is in the southern part of the state, just southeast of St. Louis) . . . Two weekends ago, Drew was out playing golf at the Yorktown Golf Club. On the fifth hole, Drew set up from kid's tee, which is 75 yards from the hole, and took his shot. According to Drew, "I didn't hit the ball really straight, but it bounced and it turned and went in the hole." Several people witnessed the shot, and the course owner has verified it. According to officials at the golf club, Drew is the youngest person ever to hit a hole-in-one on their course.

JAIL BIRD

POLICE KICKED DOWN A DOOR TO HELP SOMEONE WHO WAS YELLING "HELP ME!" . . . BUT IT WAS ONLY A COCKATOO:

Last Wednesday, residents of Trenton, New Jersey, called police after they heard someone yelling, "Help me! Help me!" inside a neighbor's house. When the police showed up at the house, they knocked on the door. But when no one answered . . . they kicked the door down to get inside. But instead of finding someone in need of help . . . they found a 10-year-old cockatoo named Luna yelling "Help me!" at the top of its lungs. See, apparently Luna watches a lot of TV . . . and the bird has actually learned to say all kinds of stuff in both English and Spanish. (Google News)
(--Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time authorities have been called because of Luna. Seven years ago, Luna was making sounds like a crying baby, and child welfare workers showed up to investigate the situation.)(--Check out a picture of Luna and her owner, Evelyn DeLeon, . . .)

MYTH BUSTED

HERE'S THE REAL DEAL ON SOME COMMON HEALTH MYTHS:

Do you ever get the feeling there's so much misinformation floating around out there that you don't have a clue what's real . . . and what's made up? Well, I do. That's why we figured we'd give you the real dirt on a few of the more-common health myths out there . . .

#1.) Myth: It's OK to eat something you dropped on the floor, so long as you follow the five-second rule.

--FALSE: In a recent study, scientists contaminated a bunch of surfaces with Salmonella . . . then started dropping pieces of bologna on the floor. In just FIVE seconds, the bologna picked up 1,800 types of bacteria.

#2.) Myth: Double-dipping spreads germs from one chip to another.

--TRUE: According to researchers, double-dipping leaves thousands of saliva bacteria in a dip . . . which are then transferred to clean chips. Basically, eating from a dip after someone has just double-dipped will transfer as much bacteria as if you kissed them.

#3.) Myth: Cracking your knuckles can cause arthritis.

--FALSE: A recent study found no difference is the incidence of arthritis between a group of people who always cracked their knuckles . . . and a group of people who never cracked their knuckles. (--That said, the same study found that knuckle crackers have weaker grip strength and more hand swelling than non-knuckle crackers . . . so there's that.)

#4.) Myth: Cell phones interfere with medical equipment.

--MAYBE: According to a 2007 study, cell phones caused electromagnetic interference with critical care equipment 43% of the time. But a similar study . . . found that there was no interference at all. (--In other words, use a designated cell phone area just to be safe.) (Yahoo Shine)

MONEY SAVING TIPS THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU

***FIVE SURPRISING WAYS TO SAVE MONEY***

We're not all wizards when it comes to managing our budget. And common sense doesn't always guide us in the right direction. So here are five surprising ways to save money that your instincts might tell you are WRONG . . .

#1.) SPEND MONEY. When your bank account is low, your first instinct might be to stop spending altogether. But not ALL spending is the same. --Make sure you limit unnecessary purchases, but don't let things like routine car maintenance or credit card payments slip. It'll cost you more in the long run.

#2.) DON'T BUY WHAT'S CHEAPEST. CHEAP doesn't mean BEST VALUE. An inexpensive car might be tempting, but if it's a lemon, you'll end up spending a lot more on gas and maintenance.

#3.) DON'T BUY THINGS ON SALE. How often do you buy things on sale that you ACTUALLY needed? If it's something you wouldn't buy if it WEREN'T on sale, don't buy it.

#4.) DON'T SIT HOME IN FRONT OF THE TV. It might be less expensive than going out with friends, but sitting at home on the couch won't change things. --Instead, try to be efficient with your cash, and spend it on classes or activities that might improve your current situation.

#5.) DON'T LET SALARY DETERMINE JOB CHOICE. A lot of people think money equals happiness. But you're better off doing something you enjoy than taking a job that pays more. You'll feel more driven, and that'll pay off in the long run. (TheStreet.com)
