If you're cutting back the bar budget and mixing more at home, then you're gonna need a solid blender that can crush ice, pulverize fruit, and make your girl a strawberry daiquiri that'll knock the Manolos off her feet.
Time to toss the cheap blender with the old plastic jar and the ill-fitting lid you've been working with since college, and go pro.
The Bella Professional is an affordable, die-cast aluminum blender with a big 48 oz capacity, that will get the job done, and look good doing it.
Hit one of the blue, backlit 3-speed controls to stir, chop, mix, puree, liquefy, or crush ice. And you can bring the pulse button into play at every level. Rubberized feet keep it from sliding off the counter, spilling precious liquid. Which would legally constitute alcohol abuse.

With Cinco de Mayo a couple of weeks away, it's time to start polishing your margarita mixing skills, and add some new recipes to your repertoire.
Corzo luxury tequila asked four top mixologists from around the country to create their own unique interpretation of the popular drink - it's the number one bar call in the country - and come up with a more modern version, using new and unusual ingredients and techniques.
The resulting recipes are below, and here are some of the tips and variations the creators used for their drinks, to give you some inspiration when whipping together your own margaritas for the senoritas:
1 - Try some unconventional rims besides going with the usual salt, like Kosher salt mixed with cracked pepper, or cocoa powder & ancho chili powder
2 - Use alternative sweeteners such as fresh agave nectar.
3 - Add in some savory ingredients like ginger, jalapeno and pepper.
4 - Try innovative bar techniques such as "the hard shake," which cools and balances the drink.
5 - Preserve older traditions by using bitters and cacao powder, an ingredient that goes back 1000 years.

Unsweetened chocolate powder mixed with ancho chili powder. (2 parts chocolate powder to one part chili powder to dust the rim of the glass.)
Prepare the rim of the glass with a dusting of the chocolate/chili mixture by wetting the rim with an orange slice. Fill the glass with cracked ice. Assemble the ingredients in the glass half of a Boston shaker and shake very well with ice. Strain into the prepared glass. And serve immediately.

You can arrange them in an endless variety of configurations (and by "you" I mean anyone who would actually put this stuff in their pad), and use them to hold books, CDs, game systems, acne cream, pocket protectors, the list of women you hope to lose your virginity too... basically anything a hardcore Tetris fan would need to store.

As part of the promotional push surrounding the release of the new 2010 Mustang, Ford is granting enthusiasts their Mustang Wish as part of their "The '10 Unleashed" campaign.
Submit your dream in 250 words or less to
www.the2010mustang.com before Aug 15th, and if the Ford Fairy deems it worthy, he (she?) will make your wish a reality. And, of course, immortalize it on video.
Some ideas will come from consumers, some from Ford. Submissions will be judged on creativity, uniqueness and execution of idea. And they'll pick a winner every few weeks. My submission includes me, a '10 Mustang, Eliza Dushku, Chelsea Handler and a case of vodka. As long as they're granting wishes.
The first winner, Vaughn Gittin, Jr., a world champion drifter, lived his dream to take a Mustang drifting in the birthplace of his sport, Japan. Check out his experience in the video clip below.
Taking a daily vitamin supplement is a good idea. Especially if you're punishing your body with fast food lunches and liquid dinners on the weekends.
Over-the-counter vitamins work fine, but you have your suits custom tailored, add the options to you want to your ride, so why take vitamins created for the general public?
VitaminsOnDemand.com lets you design a 4-week vitamin pack for your personal health and fitness needs. Either grab a pre-existing pack and take it as-is, or start with their Men's Health and Wellness Pack and add in "extras" like Male Virility (always a good choice), Mood & Energy, Sports & Fitness, Weight Loss... or whichever of the other dozen extras you can want, depending on your personal needs and goals. (They even offer "easy to swallow" versions for you guys with an overactive gag reflex.)
The packs come in individual perforated compartments that you can tear off to take with you. And they're imprinted with the days of the week, for those of us that tend to forget if we took our daily dose.
4-Week packs start at around $20 (with $4.95 shipping)

Tax Day. The final day we have to hand over the rest of our already dwindling pay check to Uncle Sam. And because that leaves little or nothing left for eating out, the following restaurants are offering some relief. Discounts, freebies, and bonuses. Just for eating there today.

McCormick & Schmick's
All day today, diners at McCormick & Schmick's will get a $10.40 certificate for future use. (1040, get it?) And $15 - $20 entrees will be discounted to $10.40. They'll also be serving up themed drinks, such as a pint of Samuel Adams Deduction Draft, to help drown your tax bill sorrows.
TGI Friday's
Spend between $15 and $25 and they'll give you a $5 Bonus Bites gift card. Spend more than $25 and score a $10 card. If you've got one of their frequent-customer cards, you'll get double points today.
P.F. Chang's
Nothing complicated here, no need to hire an accountant... they're giving a 15% discount across the board today.
McDonald's
Their "Buy One Get One for a Penny" deal is back, and good on Quarter Pounders with Cheese and Big Macs.
Maggie Moo's Ice Cream and Treatery
Participating restaurants are giving away a free single-scoop in a promo it's calling their "e-cone-omic ice cream stimulus package." Cheesy, but free ice cream is free ice cream.
Cinnabon
From 5 to 8pm, they're giving out free Tax Day Bites, the bite-size cinnamon rolls they call Classic Bites on non-tax days.
Chick-Fil-A
Make a purchase at a participating restaurant and hang on to your receipt. Bring it back within the next 30 days starting tomorrow, and they'll give you the same items again, for free.
(I think these specials are only good for today, but some may vary from place to place, so check your local restaurants to see what their deal is.)

You do realize that before your dad got ground down by 30-40 years of work, marriage and bailing your ass out of trouble, he was the man. He did the same stuff we do now, like get drunk, try to pick up some strange on a Saturday night, and give out embarrassing nicknames.
And somewhere there are pictures that document all that. Find them, and you and dad... and anyone else in the pic... could win a trip to Chicago for a "Weekend of Manliness."
Here's the deal: Canadian Club has been running their "Damn Right Your Dad Drank It" ad campaign featuring old school photos of real dads rocking some CC spirit. (See the pics above.) And they want to find the next star for the campaign. Which might be your dad. So they are running a search contest with Thrillist, that ends on April 26th.
Search through those old photo albums your mom kept and see what you can find. They're looking for "classic masculinity" (think mustaches and sideburns), 60's and 70's style, in authentic photos. (No Photoshopping.)
The headline the pic should fit is "Your Dad Hasn't Told You Everything." (Which is true, but that doesn't mean we want to hear everything.) At least give him a chance to relive the glory days.

Supercar manufacturer, Mosler Automotive, just announced the release of their 20th anniversary model, the MT900 GTR XX. Available only in Europe right now, it's awaiting certification to start tearing up the asphalt here in the states.
And the car is built to do some tearing. Besides looking like it's going 200-mph even when it's standing still, it's powered by an LS7 engine that clocks in at a rubber-melting 600 horsepower. And if that's not enough to get you power fanatics excited, the GTR XX weighs a feather-light 2450 pounds (thanks to advanced composite carbon fiber and Kevlar® construction), making the horsepower-to-weight ratio so small, each of those horses only has to propel a miniscule 4 pounds. Resulting in pure street-legal insanity when you slam the pedal down.
The reduced weight allows you to carry higher speeds into and through the corners, accelerate harder, and bring this big beast to a stop faster. And because you can pull 1.1 G's on street tires, there are adjustable coil-over shocks and adjustable blade anti-roll bars working together to keep you glued to the road.
The previous edition MT900S, came in at a cool $329,000, so expect to pay even more for this one. But don't sweat it, your stimulus check should be coming in the mail soon.

Jackass shockumentary where five little people and five mascots battle for $1 million each in competitions like 'how few insults does it take to get punched in a bar' and 'alligator wrestling'"...
That's how
Midgets vs. Mascots, a new movie premiering at the
Tribeca Film Festival in a couple of weeks, was described to me. The fact that it was shot guerilla-style without much of a script, is about as un-politically correct as you can be, and also stars such random celebs as Gary Coleman, Ron Jeremy and even Scottie Pippen, all point to huge expectations of hilarity. (The unrated video clip below should give you some idea what you're in for.)
Because I've always got you covered, I've got five pairs of tickets to the movie AND exclusive pre-screening party to give away. Along with some movie posters signed by Gary Coleman and Scottie Pippen. (Forget Pippen and Jordan memorabilia... this is much more valuable.)
Here's the deal: On Sunday, April 26th the movie is being screened in NYC at 2pm at the festival. From 12:30-1:30, there is an invitation-only party with free beer and tequila shots, some of the actors from the film, and a strong possibility Coleman and Pippen will be there. (They've committed to it, but you know how that goes, so I'm not going to make any empty promises. but I'm told it's 99% sure. Plus where the hell else does Coleman have to be?) Five of you will win tickets to the party and the movie screening... and a signed movie poster.
BUT - and this is important - you must live in or around NYC in order to win those tix. Your name will be "on the list", and you'll have to show ID to get in, so you can't flip the tix to a buddy who lives in NYC and keep the poster.
So, since I don't like limiting my contests, I'm also giving away three of the signed movie posters. And you can live anywhere to score one of those.
All you need to do to win the
party and screening tix, and possibly do tequila shots with Gary Coleman, is
enter your email addy here. You have to have a NY area addy to win those. And the reps will contact you to get all your info.
(If you don't win, and still want to hit the party and see the movie, or any other movies in the festival, you can buy tix.

That's a pretty bold statement. There are hundreds of cars from the movies that could claim the top "badass" title. But over at
AskMen.com, they decided to take on the challenge.
A Bond car made their list, and so did Bumblebee from
Transformers. So did the Tumbler from
Batman Begins, and Mel Gibson's Interceptor from
Mad Max. (If a
Mad Max car hadn't made it, you'd be able to go ahead and discount the rest of the list.)
And while two possessed cars made the list, Steve McQueen's fastback from
Bullitt - even though it starred in the seminal car chase scene in movie history - didn't make it. And Eleanor from
Gone in 60 Seconds didn't either. (Both are Ford Mustangs... am I sensing a bit of prejudice, AskMen?)

There are a lot of situations where a toothbrush would come in handy: Heading into the office after taking the red-eye from Vegas, before a big client meeting, after having the spinach salad at lunch with the boss, or after waking up next to some bar bunny you met in the club last night.
Instead of figuring out a way to stow your usual toothbrush and toothpaste at the office or car, drop a Colgate WISP in your pocket instead.
A ridiculously small, single-use mini-toothbrush about the size of a car key, the WISP doesn't need toothpaste to do its thing. A liquid-filled breath freshening bead sits in the middle of its cleaning bristles, and slowly melts down, releasing minty goo (available in peppermint, spearmint and cinnamint), giving you a clean, fresh mouth - without water or rinsing. And the bottom of the tiny handle doubles as a soft pick, so you can get rid of that broccoli from dinner, before heading back to her place.
With a 4-pack running just $2.39, you can keep one in your pocket, one in the glove box and a couple in your desk drawer. Or go for the package of 16 for $7.99 and throw a bunch in your shack pack. Because keeping a toothbrush at her place is too much commitment.

Like it hot? Pour hot sauce over anything that isn't moving? Then you're gonna love these spicy cocktails that feature the new Tabasco Tequila.
Yup. Tabasco-infused tequila. (I can hear you guys in Texas drooling from here.) And it's more than just a novelty item. I poured a glass and was surprised at how well the familiar pepper sauce heat mixed with a smooth, amber premium tequila. Giving a nice, controlled burn. Better than a lot of other premium tequilas I've tried.
Spirits Review scored it a 10 out of 10, and it was rated "Highly Recommended" by the
Spirit Journal. (I don't read either of those pubs, but I gotta figure they review even more tequila than I do. And they sound impressive enough.)
Besides being a great way to keep warm while waiting for Spring to finally spring, Cinco de Mayo is around the corner, so you can brush up on your tequila cocktail mixing skills, and sample a few of these recipes to for possible inclusion on your party menu.

The good thing about the Kama Sutra and other sex position guides is they give some new moves to add to your repertoire. The bad thing is they usually have some guy, who looks a helluva lot better than you do naked, demonstrating on a hot chick. Which can definitely take some stiffness outta the tent pole.
Instead you can check out the Kama Sutra according to Playboy. No guys to ruin the fantasy. Just two hot chicks grinding their way through a demo, while a narrator gives barely intelligible instructions, in an accent that makes her sound like Inspector Clouseau with a mouth full of marbles.

I'm chained to my desk for what seems like 20 hours a day. And there are days I feel like even though I put in the time, I got nothing done. (Today would be one of those days.)
Since I figured I wasn't alone in my hamster-wheel feeling, I got some advice from Sam Carpenter, author of
Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less. And a guy who claims to have cut his own workweek from 80 hours to 2, while increasing his income to a factor of 20.
According to Carpenter, if you simply adjust some of your primary assumptions about how you work, you can follow in his short workweek footsteps. "If we can look at our business lives from a slightly different perspective," he says, "it will not only get us organized, but enable us to get more done in less time."
And because I can't play golf alone, here are his top tips so you can cut the fat out of your workday, get more done in a lot less time, and get out on the course.
Stop “Doing the Work”
The reason a successful business owner or department manager can work a few hours a week, or take an extended vacation without stress, is because he or she has created systems, implemented written procedures, and has learned to delegate. Successful people don’t work harder; they work smarter. So focus on what needs to be done to make your business grow. Automate or delegate the rest.
Use Your “Prime” Time Wisely
Understand this: “Biological prime time” is when your brainpower is at peak capacity. People function at maximum effectiveness only about

Here's something you have to see. It's Vijay Singh dropping a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th, during Tuesday's practice round for the Masters at Augusta. Except, instead of launching the ball over the water, he skips it across the surface. It's a time-honored tradition for the pros to skim the ball over the hazard on the 16th, purely for the entertainment of the crowd. And when the ball comes off the water, onto the green and rolls into the hole, the crowd goes nuts.
The video was shot by Andres Lopez, who happened to have his camera in video mode. It's a little rough, but he manages to capture the skip, roll and drop good enough to get the full feel.

I was talking to Dr. Mark Goulston recently and our conversation turned to how this recession is affecting guys. If you don't know Mark, he's a clinical psychiatrist, a business advisor, was at one time the male voice on iVillage.com, and also trained FBI and police hostage negotiators.
He's also known for his many radio and television appearances, where he sometimes causes controversy for some off the things he says. Things that happen to be completely true and backed by research and science - but that a lot of people (read: your wives and girlfriends), may not want to hear. And are hilarious to watch while the female hosts give him death looks at first, and then eventually come around to his side. Which brings up what Mark was telling me about dealing with stress and pressure.
According to the good doctor, women deal with tension by verbal venting ("You won't believe what Beth did today..."), but guys deal with tension by having sex. And while our female counterparts need someone to be listening when they vent, we don't even need a partner for our release.
Which is why Dr. Goulston tells women to let their husbands/boyfriends enjoy porn. Or at least not make us feel ashamed for tugging it to those amateur videos we love so much. According to an advice column he wrote on relationships: "Pornography and masturbation (in moderation) have probably saved more marriages than they have hurt." (You can
read the whole piece here.) That's some doctor's advice I can listen to.
He's also suggested to women that they let their stressed out guys "use them" for therapeutic sexual release. So we don't have to go sneaking around on the Interwebs, or cruise prostitutes, to relieve tension. Here's a clip of Mark on the TV show MarsVenus, arguing his point. The look on Cybill Shephard's face? Classic. The BBW chick? She's right on board.
When you're patching something together in your place, the iconic silver-gray beauty of duct tape is a universally accepted sign that something needed serious staying power. Except when you get called into handyman action at your girl's place. She doesn't share your appreciation for the industrial-repair look. For her, you might want to grab some designer duct tape.
Made of waterproof cloth with a strong adhesive tape backing, these style-friendly rolls come in Wood Grain, Houndstooth, Paisley and Basketweave, to give an old piece of furniture a fresh new look, or fix whatever broke in style. So you can leave the hammer, nails and glue at home when she needs you fix the leg on her vanity.

Looking to the future, where autonomous vehicles would drive themselves while you shave, text and surf the Interwebs (basically everything you do now, except steer and work the pedals), GM and Segway are collaborating on a new mode of urban transportation they've dubbed Project PUMA.
Standing for "Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility", Project PUMA's goal is to reinvent urban transportation, providing a safe way for urban dwellers to navigate the city, while cutting down on congestion and pollution. (And finally finding a use for the Segway technology, besides moving lazy mall cops around.)
Based on Segway's two wheeled balancing act, the PUMA seats two and has an enclosure to protect you from the elements. (And embarrassment. Something the Segway could have used.) Wireless communication lets the vehicles talk to each other, working to find a smoother traffic flow and avoid smashing into each other. So you get to work on time, even if the chick in front of you is putting on her makeup, talking on the phone and sipping her mocha latte.
GM and Segway execs explain how PUMA will work... should it ever make it from the drawing board, to the city streets.

The economy has hit most of us hard. And car companies are responding by offering more for less. (Which is so nice of them to do, considering we "own" most of them.)

Going grille-to-grille with the massively popular Civic and Corolla, the new 3 plans to do to its category what the
