Does Popular 'Male Enhancement' Pill Enzyte Really Work?
You've heard about Bob, the pitch man for Enzyte, one of the world's most popular over the counter erection aids. So does is the "lift" that Bob gets from Enzyte real? Doctors Jennifer Anger and Marty Gelbard are both assistant professors of urology at UCLA, and they say Enzyte's claims are misleading.
"There's no medical data to support any of those claims," said Dr. Anger.
The supplement is sold in stores and on the Internet, where the site says it: "can give you a lifetime of stronger, firmer, easier to achieve erections." Enzyte contains horny goat weed, niacin, flush, zinc, and L-arginine, an amino acid. What do the experts think about those ingredients?"
"Niacin has been shown to increase blood flow but there's no data showing these things will increase the size of the penis," explained Dr.
Beards and big words: manifold fashion woes in Brooklyn’s Sugar Land
I just climbed out of the L train at Lorimer, and I'm walking toward this new bar that recently opened called Sugar Land. I don't really like its name, but I guess it's supposed to be ironic, so I decide to check it out anyway. During the 9.3 minutes it takes to walk there, I pass multiple abandoned factories and new condominium complexes. I feel like I'm in the desert. I turn a corner, and as if from nowhere I spot dozens of kooky fags standing outside this raggedy place with a sign that reads “Sugar Land." I fish for my passport and I'm let in. I'm wearing tiny black pants from Trash and Vaudeville — my wardrobe staple — red sunglasses, a black and white keffiyah, a random black children's blazer I found in a thrift store for $5, and an XXXL V-neck I got at American Apparel (this store we should have in Downtown New Haven).
Minister joins row over footballer's police caution for making cross ...
THE row over a police caution for the Celtic goalkeeper who made the sign of the cross during an Old Firm match escalated yesterday following the intervention of a Cabinet minister. Ruth Kelly, the Communities Secretary at Westminster, said she was "surprised" at the move in a country which was supposed to value diversity and freedom of expression. .
Republicans sing new tune on Iraq for Spanish station
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Citing a recent decline in violence in Iraq, top Republican presidential candidates on Sunday offered gushing assessments of the U.S. war effort there -- an unusual moment in a GOP primary campaign that for months usually has stepped gingerly around the Bush administration's unpopular policies in that country.
The candidates' comments, coming in a debate on the Spanish-language television network Univision, went further than even the White House and top military leaders have gone as they have watched civilian and military deaths ebb since President Bush launched a controversial U.S. troop "surge" strategy.

Mountaintop Removal and Kitty Genovese
The most common form of terrorism in the U.S.A. is that carried on by bulldozers and chainsaws. It is not enough to understand the natural world; the point is to defend and preserve it. Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul. —- Edward Abbey Last week, as I drove north on I-64 in West Virginia from Beckley toward Cabin Creek, I was stunned at how beautiful the Appalachian Mountains appeared. The day was cool, gray, and rainy. Maple and oak and tulip trees were in full color, glowing gold and rust against the dark green of pine and hemlock. Tattered scarves of translucent clouds lay draped over the mountains' shoulders giving the steep heights an alluring look of exotic, primeval mystery. I was not in West Virginia, though, to gawk at the beauty strip of mountains still standing along the interstate to entice tourists.
