survey

A study was done recently that listed the top 50 safest cities in New York state. Two Capital Region cities were in the top 50 and one landed in the top 5.

It's a fact, women prefer the dad-bod over 6 pack-abs and it's a pretty good day because of it.  Two-thirds of women say that they prefer a little flab covering them abs. And on behalf of all of the men out like me who are not afraid to admit it, thank you...

Snapchat used to be one of my favorite social networks now not so much.

A local school district is using technology that maps bus routes for drivers and equips students with ID cards they must scan as they enter and exit the bus.

I saw this online and it made me think: "Where does downtown Albany start and end?" If you're not from Albany and you ask people who were born and raised in Albany, they will all give you different answers. If someone says "I live downtown," people tend to think "Oh, Lark Street...

So these new emojis have been out for about a month now. It took me a while to figure out how to update and use them but they are finally on my phone.

We hit up the street of the 518 to ask where are the best places to eat?

There is a product out there called Deo Perfume Candy, which is a rose-flavored product that contains geraniol, an alcohol found in rose oil that “aromatizes” as it evaporates through the skin. (Ummm… in English, please?) It’s edible deodorant. Whoa. I thought edible underwear was strange.

I was under the impression that most Capital Region schools had started already… wait, so you’re telling me you’re JUST posting your “first day of school” pics on Facebook NOW? I apologize for the use of all caps, but hopefully I made my point.

When it comes to infidelity, women are a lot more forgiving than men.

Between the persistency of the surgeon general and bans everywhere from workplaces to bars, being a smoker should be harder than it’s ever been before. But are these anti-smoking efforts actually causing a decline in the rates of cigarette consumption?

According to a new survey from Gallup, 66 percent of adults drink alcohol, up from 64 percent last year. But are these Americans who imbibe enjoying the occasional glass of wine or are they pounding beer after beer?

It was a scrappy first half in the Team USA/Argentina Men’s Basketball game yesterday. Argentina must have fallen asleep at half time as the game finished 126-97 with Lebron James and company coming out on top. The big story, however, was Carmelo Anthony being on the business end of a junk punch.

The rules of tipping in restaurants vary among nations and culture. In the United States, 15 percent is considered customary for average service. However, a new ’60 Minutes’/Vanity Fair Poll 990 American adults has found that a good chunk of diners typically give more or less than that percentage.

It is assumed that streaming video will eventually be the death knell of the DVD and Blu-ray industries. But could the easy-to-use technology also be cutting into movie box office profits?

We know sometimes people keep tabs on their ex through social media. But what about when you’re married? Do folks want to know their significant others’ whereabouts at all times?

Sometimes it’s best to take an out of sight, out of mind approach to an ex after a breakup. However, in our brave new world of social media, the chances are your former flame is just a couple clicks away, making it difficult to completely ignore them.

Gun control has always been a major issue of debate in America — right up alongside the more recently heated topics of abortion, same-sex marriage and health care — but the tragic shooting of 71 people during a Colorado theater’s showing of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ has given this controversy a brand new spotlight.

I went to the movies last weekend and saw the movie, “Ted”. Despite rave reviews from critics I was very disappointed. It wasn’t as good as I anticipated (in my opinion) but there was one GREAT scene that stayed with me.

New York City is just the latest school district to be rocked with a large-scale high school cheating scandal, this one involving state exams and cell phones. Earlier this year there were also high profile cases of mass cheating in Houston and Long Island.

Do you live in Oklahoma City, Columbus, S.C. or Memphis? If so, congratulations — you live in one of the three manliest cities in the United States.

Do Mondays really suck? According to science, yes. The Telegraph wrote an article on a year-old Marmite study and it all sounds pretty legit. If you’re down with the frown on Mondays, you’re not alone.

When it comes to business, I don’t think there’s a more accurate phrase than “sex sells”. Maybe not when it comes to conducting day to day operations but an appealing visual definitely makes a brand stand out.

We all have those guilty pleasure songs. You know, the songs that you wouldn’t usually like but for some reason you’re addicted? I don’t think I’ve been as ashamed of my current song addiction since Miley Cyrus’s “Party In The USA”.

We're very lucky to have so many local news options here in the Capital Region.  WNYT, WRGB, WTEN, WXXA and YNN all keep us up to date with local and national stories daily.  They also have some pretty stunning staff members!  These ladies are smart AND beautiful.  But who's the hottest?

On February 7th, two days after the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, die-hard Giants fans painted their faces red and blue, lined the streets and cheered as their beloved hometown heroes paraded by. Inevitably, 2012 will bring incredible joy and/or crushing disappointment to sports fans across the US and while there’s no way to know concretely which group you’ll b
