Mystery gained mainstream attention for his role in Neil Strauss’s New York Times bestselling exposé, The Game. Now he has written the definitive handbook on the art of the pickup. He developed his unique method over years of observing social dynamics and interacting with women in clubs to learn how to overcome the guard shield that many women use to deflect come-ons from 'average frustrated chumps.' His tips include: *Give more attention to her less attractive friend at first, so your target will get jealous and try to win your attention. *Always approach a target within 3 seconds of noticing her. If a woman senses your hesitation, her perception of your value will be lower. *Don't be picky. Approach as many groups of people in a bar as you can and entertain them with fun conversation. As you move about the room, positive perception of you will grow. Now it's easy to meet anyone you want. *Smile. Guys who don't get laid, don't smile. Related Items:      see moreAverage Rating:
 Rating:  - AWESOME!!This book was great. A little difficult to read (I suggest reading it more than once), but it really teaches you a lot. Great overall. Rating: - Very good, but not the bestMystery is very, very good at picking up women, maybe the best. But for reading, I preferred The Game by Neil Strauss and Cougars, Poptarts & One Night Stands by Billy Conroy. Mystery has a paint-by-numbers type approach. The other two books have better overall advice. If you can, but all three. All the others I have read are a waste of time. Rating: - Dr. MysteryMystery really has put together a compelling work here. Heavy study of the mating ritual, cracking the code of inner workings of what attracts women, and what doesn't. One of the most eye opening books to developing your own inner game techniques, and confidence. Strange jargon and terms, but the rest is gold. Rating:  - Interesting stuffVery in depth self-improvement analysis here in Mystery's book. It's a topic no one has every taken apart to this extent. Having reviewed his advice many times and practiced adding bits and pieces into my own conversation, I can say it is well worth investing a few bucks and buying. You can only improve. Rating: - A great MysteryHonestly, this book could have been a lot easier to read and make sense of. If you're patient and read and re-read it until you understand what Mystery is talking about, you'll probably improve your game. My favorite book in this topic is I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't |
Sales of semiconductors in November indicate that consumer products such as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs, digital music players, and other devices sold well during the holidays, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said Monday.
November chip sales rose 2.3 percent year-on-year to $23.1 billion, the SIA said.
Unit demand has far outpaced last year. But falling chip prices have hurt industry revenue, the chip association said. For example, DRAM (dynamic RAM) bit shipments grew 25 percent in the three months through mid-December, but average selling prices have declined 20 percent over the same period.
The association also noted that rising energy prices and concerns about the sub-prime lending issue in the U.S. do not appear to have had a significant impact on consumer spending for the holidays, the SIA said. The group reiterated its forecast that worldwide semiconductor sales will reach a new record in 2007. But it will take a stronger than expected December selling season to reach the 3.8 percent growth goal the group had forecast earlier this year, the SIA said.
Investment banking firm Credit Suisse was not as optimistic as the SIA.
The November data was below normal seasonal trends, noted analyst John Pitzer, in a report on Monday. Even if December reaches its normal seasonal growth, 2007 industry revenue will only reach $255.7 billion, up 3.2 percent over last year. The growth percentage would fall short of the SIA's 3.8 percent target.
The slow November prompted Credit Suisse to lower its 2008 chip industry revenue forecast to 9.4 percent year-on-year growth, down from a previous target of 13 percent.
DVD features
Yes, the unrated edition of The Dukes of Hazzard has nudity... but no, it's not of Jessica Simpson, but topless sorority girls. There are also two sets--"PG-13" and "unrated"--of deleted scenes and bloopers. The four minutes of unrated deleted scenes (supplementing the 25 minutes of "PG-13" deleted scenes) include more sorority girls and a menage à trois for Johnny Knoxville . The five minutes of unrated bloopers (the same amount as the "PG-13" bloopers) feature a few more girls but mostly bad language. Featurettes discuss the Daisy Duke short shorts (and show how you can make your own), car stunts, and the making of the movie (narrated by a cast member of the original TV series). --David Horiuchi
