It's that time of year once again where men all across America are biting their nails wondering what they're going to get for Christmas from their wives or girlfriends. A tie? New socks? Pots and pans? A jar filled with air? God only knows.

This year, make sure your woman gives you a gift that you can actually use, and let her know that just because you're a man, doesn't mean that you're going to jump up and down at the sight of a new cordless drill.

There is no such thing as the "perfect" gift. Every man is different, with unique tastes and preferences. A carpenter might prefer a new set of tools, a working professional might appreciate a new stylish wallet, while an outdoorsman might rejoice at a three-day getaway. The important thing is that your woman's gift demonstrates that she actually put some thought into it -- according to your hobbies and interests (minus the porn).

Here are some gift ideas your woman should be considering. Now if only you can find a way to discreetly slip her this list :

Experience Days

Experience days offer a choice of fun activities for the man to do that he might not already do in his day to day life like kart racing, paragliding, skydiving, taking a spin in a Ferrari for example, or for the less adrenaline inclined man there are activities like golfing and horse riding. There are also get away days like hotel breaks. Any of these gifts can last from one afternoon or evening to a couple days. There is something to fit all budgets and this type of present is one that is guaranteed to be appreciated.

Cologne

For Who? A nice fragrance is ideal in any type of relationship. Cologne is just as appreciated on the first Christmas together as it is on the fiftieth. The gift of a great scent is a good sign that she wants to turn you into an irresistible man and rip off your clothes because she can't resist inhaling your sexual scent. That, or you just smell bad.

Sports / Concert Tickets

For Who? For any man who's single, divorced, dating, young or old, enjoys sports, and loves to watch his favorite team live. Or, if you're not the sporting type, maybe she can excite you with concert tickets to your favorite rock band.

Gadgets

Men are known for loving their toys. Whether it’s high tech like the latest cameras, smart phones or laptops, or more novelty gadgets that you wouldn’t think existed until you know that it does, buying a gadget that a man can utilise in his day to day activities, or otherwise have fun with is a smart choice.

Palm Pilot

For Who? For the very busy businessman or professional who misses all his appointments, birthdays and anniversaries because he doesn't know how to stay organized. Be careful, because if you ask for this, she'll expect you to finally get organized and never miss an anniversary or her birthday. She can get it here.

Wallet / Cuff links

Men like to look smart but can be prone to forgetting about the finer details sometimes. Having a great looking wallet, rather than an old haggard one that is visibly falling to bits is one of them. So buying a great looking wallet is a great gift idea. To play it smart, ensure that it has room for storing at least 8 cards as with bank cards, credit cards and store cards, anything less just may not be enough. Cufflinks are also a small but finer detail accessory for a shirt and make a great gift. If you are looking for a more personal o intimate gift you could get him a shaver, some trendy body shaping underwear or a watch.

Clothing

For Who: For those of you who know how to do everything except dress yourself in style. Your woman is always aware of the current fashion trends and she always knows what would look good on you. As long as it's not another tie, smile; you'll look good.

Aftershave

Turn on the TV and there is going to be at least one advert during the evening promoting a brand of aftershave. The fragrance market is huge. A man out socialising has to look sharp and smell great. You will give him a great gift that he will remember every time he puts some on with aftershave. If you know what types of aftershave he likes to wear, this will also help you to make a great choice for him of your own accord.

Bathrobe

For Who? The bath robe is a great gift idea for those of you who love to walk around the house and relax on a Sunday morning in total luxury. Don't you want to be draped in total luxury just before she disrobes you to give you that well-deserved massage?

Video Games

At one point in time boys were supposed to grow out of these after their teenage years. But today, games have smashed through that age barrier, and are now even targeted at the whole family. No doubt if you do not own a console yourself, you will know someone that does and you will have noticed all the adverts on TV for various games. So if the lucky man is a gamer, try to find out what type of game he likes or even better what games he wants but doesn’t own yet!

N.B : With the great ideas above, you are hopefully now ready to dive in and shop for the perfect gift for the lucky man. If you are still unsure, then the next step is to have a look at Amazon, or continue looking around this site for more great Christmas gift ideas for men.

A LITTLE lad nicknamed Dragon Boy has finally been cured of a chronic skin condition which left his face covered in bumpy shell-like growths.
Muhammad Yunusov's eyes, nose and mouth and half of his scalp were previously invisible underneath the thick "horns".

For six years doctors in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan failed to find the cause of the alarming condition known as chronic granulomatous candidiasis.

'Dragon Boy'... lad was covered in horn-like growths

His parents were forced to hide him away, and placed a mask over his face, after he was taunted with names such as "dragon", "freak" and "Zorro".

Eventually, the youngster's desperate uncle took the boy to see the country's top skin specialist Professor Mir Ali Baltabaeva.

And incredibly Prof Baltabaeva took just 17 days to completely cure Muhammad.

It is understood the medic used a combination of medication and ointments to cure the condition — rather than surgery.

He said: "I learned about this unique young boy from his uncle, who came to the clinic with photographs of the child and complained that none of the doctors could diagnose him. He asked: 'Can you help my nephew?'

"The child was a terrible sight, so I ordered a separate ward for him."

Muhammad's mother burst into tears of joy when she saw he had been cured, he added.

President Obama has a peculiar talent for enraging his critics while deflating the enthusiasm of his friends, on full display in the Manhattan mosque controversy.

His first intervention, at a White House dinner for Ramadan on Friday, was an unqualified defense of both religious liberty and religious tolerance, implying that opposition to a mosque near Ground Zero violated both. In his second intervention, in an unplanned exchange with a reporter on Saturday, he insisted that he was not commenting "on the wisdom" of building the mosque, merely affirming the right to a construction permit. It was not a contradiction, but it was a marked change in tone. Obama managed to collect all the political damage for taking an unpopular stand without gaining credit for political courage.




But being hapless does not make the president wrong.

Though columnists are loath to admit it, there is a difference between being a commentator and being president. Pundits have every right to raise questions about the construction of an Islamic center near Ground Zero. Where is the funding coming from? What are the motives of its supporters? Is the symbolism insensitive?

But the view from the Oval Office differs from the view from a keyboard. A president does not merely have opinions; he has duties to the Constitution and to the citizens he serves -- including millions of Muslim citizens. His primary concern is not the sifting of sensitivities but the protection of the American people and the vindication of their rights.

By this standard, Obama had no choice but the general path he took. No president, of any party or ideology, could tell millions of Americans that their sacred building desecrates American holy ground. This would understandably be taken as a presidential assault on the deepest beliefs of his fellow citizens. It would be an unprecedented act of sectarianism, alienating an entire faith tradition from the American experiment. If a church or synagogue can be built on a commercial street in Lower Manhattan, declaring a mosque off-limits would officially equate Islam with violence and terrorism. No president would consider making such a statement. And those commentators who urge the president to do so fundamentally misunderstand the presidency itself.



An inclusive rhetoric toward Islam is sometimes dismissed as mere political correctness. Having spent some time crafting such rhetoric for a president, I can attest that it is actually a matter of national interest. It is appropriate -- in my view, required -- for a president to draw a clear line between "us" and "them" in the global conflict with Muslim militants. I wish Obama would do it with more vigor. But it matters greatly where that line is drawn. The militants hope, above all else, to provoke conflict between the West and Islam -- to graft their totalitarian political manias onto a broader movement of Muslim solidarity. America hopes to draw a line that isolates the politically violent and those who tolerate political violence -- creating solidarity with Muslim opponents and victims of radicalism.

How precisely is our cause served by treating the construction of a non-radical mosque in Lower Manhattan as the functional equivalent of defiling a grave? It assumes a civilizational conflict instead of defusing it. Symbolism is indeed important in the war against terrorism. But a mosque that rejects radicalism is not a symbol of the enemy's victory; it is a prerequisite for our own.

The federal government has a response to American mosques taken over by advocates of violence. It investigates them, freezes their assets and charges their leaders. It does not urge zoning decisions that express a general discomfort with Islam itself.

Here again, this debate illustrates a gap in perspective. A commentator can speak with obvious sincerity of preventing American hallowed ground from being overshadowed by a mosque. A president not only serves Muslim citizens, not only commands Muslims in the American military, but also leads a coalition that includes Iraqi and Afghan Muslims who risk death each day fighting Islamic radicalism at our side. How could he possibly tell them that their place of worship inherently symbolizes the triumph of terror?

There are many reasons to criticize Obama's late, vacillating response to the Manhattan mosque, and perhaps even to criticize this particular mosque. But those who want a president to assert that any mosque would defile the neighborhood near Ground Zero are asking him to undermine the war on terrorism. A war on Islam would make a war on terrorism impossible.

UNDERSEA yachts, five-star blimp hotels and simulated kidnapping experiences could soon be on traveller's must do lists.

Design concepts for such creative ideas have been showcased at the Tourism Futures conference in Brisbane.

"Now that Virgin Galactic is hopefully going to have their first passengers in outer space as early as 2012 these kind of creative ideas are potentially going to become reality,’’ Craig Shim, Tourism Queensland marketing manager, said.
Mr Shim said a French company was already offering simulated kidnapping packages, in which people can pay to be abducted without warning, bound, gagged and imprisoned for between four and ten hours.

"It allows you to experience the terror of the real thing,’’ he said.
