Andy Rooney on Women Over Forty

Andy Rooney says:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over forty most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over forty will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.
If a woman over forty doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it’s usually something more interesting.
A woman over forty knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of forty give a hoot what you might think about her or what she’s doing.
Women over forty are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.
A woman over forty has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn’t trust the guy with other women. Women over forty couldn’t care less if you’re attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won’t betray her.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over forty. They always know.
A woman over forty looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over forty is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one! You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over forty for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of forty-plus, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some twenty-two-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free,” here’s an update for you. Now 80 percent of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.

Greatest mystery known to man: Quantum physicist Stephen Hawking says he still can't work out women



Greatest mystery known to man: Quantum physicist Stephen Hawking says he still can't work out women

Genius: But scientist Stephen Hawking admits he does not understand the opposite sex
Genius: But scientist Stephen Hawking admits he does not understand the opposite sex
He is one of the world's greatest living scientists, who uncovered the secrets of the universe in his book, A Brief History of Time.
But the great Stephen Hawking says he still struggles with one tricky subject.
When asked what occupied his thoughts for most of his waking hours, he answered: 'Women. They are a complete mystery.'
In an interview with New Scientist to mark his 70th birthday this weekend, the quantum physicist revealed a softer side behind his brilliant brain.
He even hinted at regrets in his personal life after being asked about his biggest mistake.
He said that thinking information was destroyed black holes was his biggest blunder - 'or at least my biggest blunder in science.'
Professor Hawking, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease at 21, conducted the interview as he communicates - using a voice machine that picks up the twitching of his cheek.
His conversation with the magazine came ahead of an international conference held in his honour that starts today at Cambridge University, where he used to be the Lucasian professor of mathematics.
It will conclude on Sunday with talks from some of the world's most prominent physicists, including Lord Rees, the Astronomer Royal, Saul Perlmutter, who won the Nobel prize for physics in 2011, and Kip Thorne from the California Institute of Technology.
Professor Hawking, who has made cameos in The Simpsons and Star Trek, was not expected to live for many years after being diagnosed, but has has a stellar career.
Colleagues have this week expressed their admiration for the talented cosmologist, who has contributed to theories of gravity and showed that black holes emit radiation and slowly disappear.

Professor Hawking married Jane Wilde in 1965, and she cared for him until 1991 when the couple separated, reportedly because of the pressures of fame and his increasing disability. 
They had three children: Robert, Lucy - now a popular author, and Timothy. 
The scientist then married his nurse, Elaine Mason (who was previously married to David Mason, the designer of the first version of Hawking's talking computer), in 1995. 
In October 2006, Hawking filed for divorce from his second wife.
In 2004, the scientist showed how a black hole's information leaks back into our universe through an event horizon - a recantation of an earlier theory that lost him a bet made with fellow theorist John Preskill.
Professor Hawking also showed in the interview that he has not lost his passion for science, or his dreams of exciting future discoveries. 
He said that if he was a young physicist starting out today, he would have a new idea that would open up an entirely new field.

U.S. News & World Report has ranked the DASH diet tops for health and weight loss.

Once again, U.S. News & World Report has ranked the DASH diet tops for health and weight loss.
For the second year in a row, the magazine praised the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) as an all-purpose health and its ‘Best Diet Overall” for lowering cholesterol, battling hypertension, and for weight loss.
The diet, which is endorsed by the National Institutes of Health also scored high for helping people control their diabetes and preventing heart disease.
Also a bonus: The DASH diet doesn’t require paid memberships, prepackaged foods or restrictive eating plans.
Coming in at number two was the (Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes) or TLC Diet. This no-frills but highly rated plan was created by the National Institutes of Health.
U.S. News gave the thumbs up to this diet for people that want a no-nonsense plan that lowers cholesterol and promotes heart health.
Jennifer Hudson is right to be singing Weight Watchers’ praises. The PointsPlus plan is a winner for its emphasis on fruits and vegetables, lots of online and group support and handy guides to eating in and out of the house.
Tied with Weight Watchers for third place: The Mayo Clinic Diet for its ability to take on diabetes and the Mediterranean Diet for its emphasis on fruits and vegetables, olive oil, fish, and other nutritious (and delicious) food choices.
Want to try the trendy Dukan Diet? Don’t bother.
Experts blasted the diet as restrictive, unncessarily complicated and just plain "idiotic."
The Paleo Diet, a plan based on the idea of eating lean meats and greens like our cave-dawelling ancestors, scored at the bottom of the barrel for being just too hard to for the average dieter.
