Google Reader (3) Blog Courrier Int. Mothers 'in charge of baby names' Researchers found four out of ten fathers are forced to back down and let their partners select the name. It also emerged the average couple consider 12 names before selecting their favourite, but a quarter do not make their final decision until after the baby is born. The report, commissioned among 3,000 parents by Bounty Parenting Club, also disclosed that a third of couples fall out over their newborn's name. Faye Mingo, spokeswoman for Bounty, said: ''The name game is a debate which often lasts the whole nine months of the pregnancy and causes the most upsets as couples fail to agree on the best name for their new born. ''It's understandably one of the hardest decisions mum and dad will ever have to make – largely because we do judge a person by their name before we've even got to know them. ''All things considered it's unsurprising that something as important as choosing a name leads to a lot of heated discussion.'' Source: The Daily Telegraph Do you like your name?
Nifty 50s have more fun than people half their age - SouthAsiaNews.com London, Sep 20 (ANI): A new study has found that the typical nifty 50 is more sociable, happy and active than most 25-year-olds. People at 50 enjoy more nights out, travel further afield and catch up with friends more frequently. Each week a typical 50-year-old goes out twice and sees four friends. They also manage to pack in three weekends away during the course of a year. Twenty-somethings only manage one evening out a week, catch up with three friends and take two short breaks. Those in their 50s certainly know how to live life to the full, the Daily Express quoted a spokesman for Benenden Healthcare, which commissioned the poll said, as saying. The modern 50-year-old spends more time than ever on things that boost their contentment and with life expectancy rising all the time, being middle-aged is no longer a precursor to winding down. Being 50 is definitely the new 25, the Spokesman added.

ThaiIndian News Sat Mar 20 04:03:52 2010 by ANI London, Mar 20 (ANI): Twitter has found itself in legal trouble after rumours of French President Nicolas Sarkozy and wife Carla Bruni’s respective affairs started making rounds. The message on Twitter by Aude Baron, a French online journalist, and repeated by other reporters, set the Internet alight. And soon, the rumour spread like wild fire with gossip columnists and newspapers around the world chasing the story, and eventually forcing Sarkozy into an angry denial during a press conference with Gordon Brown in London last week. However, it has now been revealed that the reporters who spread the claims said that they did not have the remotest idea whether they were true. Even Baron said that she had merely repeated “gossip” without checking it. “It was a kind of joke,” the Times quoted her as saying. And some users have claimed that it is a private forum where you can say what you want with no risk of being sued.

Nifty fifties have more fun London: It used to be the over-50s casting envious glances at the youngsters who seemed to be having so much fun. Now the roles have been reversed. Researchers found that the typical "Nifty Fifty" is more sociable, happy and active than someone half that age. He or she is likely to have more nights out, meet up with more friends, have more weekend breaks away and more holidays abroad. In other words, 50 is the new 25. A nationwide survey of 4,000 Britons aged between 18 and 75 found that a typical 50-year-old goes out twice a week, catches up with four friends and has three weekends away a year. But the typical twenty-something has only one evening out per week, sees three friends and takes two short breaks. Half of all over-50s said their focus is on enjoying life to the full, while only three in ten 20-year-olds can say the same thing.

The Average Fifty Year Old Has More Fun Than Twentysomethings They are more likely to enjoy nights out, meet up with friends and travel further at weekends. Experts worked out that a modern 50-year-old goes out twice a week, catches up with four friends and has three weekends away a year. But the typical 20-something heads out just one evening a week, sees three friends and takes two short breaks. The trend has emerged as half of over 50s said their focus is on enjoying life to the full compared to three in ten 20-year-olds. The survey of 4,000 Brits was carried out by Benenden Healthcare, a mutual society which provides for families and individuals.
