Carmens Nightclub,Sydney, Australia - Review If you ask anyone what's a popular night spot to visit in the Sutherland Shire you will without a doubt here one single word; Carmens. Carmens has been around for decades, I know this because I vaguely remember my parents telling me that they used to walk home from there after a Saturday night out. However, this doesn't mean that it is old or out-dated. It is quite the opposite. There is always...more

ATP Tennis – Novak Djokovic defeats Thomas Berdych at ATP World Tour Finals Novak Djokovic had a sore spot ever since he fell to Czech Thomas Berdych during the Wimbledon semifinals in July. But it is now payback time, as the talented Djokovic brought in his A-game to the 02 Arena in London in his first match at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals round-robin stage to defeat Berdych in a 6-3, 6-3 matchup. Djokovic knows his way around this tournament. He had a great tournament during the 2008 season when we went all the way to capture the season finale at Shanghai. In the 2008 final Djokovic went face to face with Nikolay Davydenko and won 6-1, 7-5. The following year, when the tournament made its move from Shanghai to London, Davydenko was able to step up and win the tournament playing the final against Argentine Juan Martín del Potro by 6-3, 6-4. The ATP World Tour Final is certainly a very different tournament. Contrary to most any other professional ATP sanctioned tournament, the World Tour is not played based on a single elimination knockout stage. The World Tour Finals only calls in the 8 best ranked players at the end of the year. These eight players are then...more

Pre-Holiday Eating – The Do's and Don'ts Ready or not, the Holiday's are here! It's once again that time of year – the shopping, the parties, the endless hours of eating and drinking… And then the many morning-afters where thoughts of "Why did I eat/drink sooo much – I'm never doing that again" continuously crosses our minds…until the next week when it all seems to be déjà vu.Even if healthy eating is one of our main priorities the majority of the year, it seems to always get thrown out the window right around Thanksgiving time, along with our commitments to exercise, drinking in moderation, and going to sleep at a reasonable hour. What often makes it even worse is us thinking that starving ourselves before we go out will help our cause, when in all actuality it often leads us to over-indulging even more!The thought of consuming fewer calories now to save room for those extra (that we are inevitably going to take in later), does make sense when first considered. However, it never ends up that way. The fact that you haven't eaten all day and are now surrounded by mountains of decadent desserts and savory dishes leads to eating twice (if not...more
