Do you think Scott was the right person to get eliminated? why or why not?
Do you think the judges should have used the Judge's save on Scott? why or why not?

Here are what some Yahoo users have to say about this subject....do you agree please comment.

"Scott, yup. He was starting to bore everyone

The jugdes shouldnt have used it on him - im glad they didnt, save it for the top 3 or 4"

By : Zippy

"yeah Scott needed to go, but i dont think Anoop should have been in the bottom 3 because he sang really well on tuesday."

By :katt

"I thought Anoop should go home, honestly. He has disappointed me every week since auditions. I love Scott, he's such a sweetie pie and when he start crying, I had to turn it off because that would have made me ball like a baby. I definitely think there is a niche for him somewhere. Just because they don't win doesn't mean they won't make it big. Look at my main man Daughtry."

Acne: How To Stop It!

If you have acne or spots of any kind, then the first thing to remember is that you should not pop them. Whilst some people get some sort of strange satisfaction from popping their spots, overall it can do more harm than good.

The reason for this is that it can actually cause more spots, as the grease that you rub into your skin will cause more spots in that area, and you can even cause scarring to occur which can remain for a long time.

However, if you want to reduce the outbreak of spots that occurs on your skin, then you should consider avoiding certain products that contain grains of any sort - for instance cereals and bread. This seems to reduce the outbreak.

More acne advice

On Ebay they are selling a great guide on how to improve your acne in 20 days. I bought it and the majority of the info. was very useful here is the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5652098853&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

Hi evry1 i sufer frm spots i dontsuggest sudo creme cause it maks ur skin all broken. try tea tree oil and within three hrs u'll be grand good luck claire xxxooo

I wash ma face every night before i go to bed then i wash the soap off with cold a warter that seems to work quite well

Try tea tree oil its works so well use it in the bath and wash your face withit aswell as using your normal face wash dont be fooled by the shiny patches they go away in half an hour its truely worth it

Also try using a whitening toothpaste that does NOT include mint as an ingredient. Apply before bed ,after rinsing your face with cool water, in a thin layer over the specific zit. Works GREAT!!!!

Putting an ice pack on your spot for 10 minutes really compresses it and makes it easier to cover up.

I'm getting over some spots i had, but like 3 weeks ago all these like tiny little bumps started covering my forehead, they're not read and they don't have a head, and you can't see them that much, but under the sun you can totally tell, they're not like horrible but i'm getting sick of them, does anyone know hoe to get rid of them? i don't wanna pop them cause it'll leave scars.

For acne I agree you should never ever pick/pop the spot as it will make matters worse. I advise:

*Making fruit smoothies(eg. strawberries, bananas and raspberries but NO milk or ice cream) and vegetable juices (cucumber, beetroot, carrot and tomato is exceptionally good for your skin)

*Drinking 2 litres of water a day will flush away toxins in your body

*Following a GENTLE skincare regime will remove dirt and trapped oil, but be careful not to overdo it and cause more oil.

*Never touch your face with your hands, sleep on a fresh pillow case every night and clean the telephone headset every time before you use it with an anti-bacterial wipe.

*If you have spots around your hairline, it is cause by the oils in your hair getting trapped in your pores, take a cleansing wipe with you to work/school and cleanse your hairline (and face if you want too) to stop the oil clogging your pores!

*Go to your local GP to see if you have an allergy to wheat and/or dairy products.

Good luck guys! Please visit my profile and send me a message with specific questions about acne or other subjects.

I dont suffer from acne but at the odd time when i get it it is dredful.i would recomend washing ur face with warm water and a facail scrub then stand under ur shower with hot water then get cold water and it should go away within 2-4 hours

I used get acne and spots on a regular basis but after some trial and error i have found a way that can get the break out to spots and acne to a bare minimum, but it will take some will power to keep at it (trust me the results are great) firstly eat alot of fruit and drinks lots of water, i have natural oily skin but i find this helps keep the oil levels down. Secondly iwash my faace 2 or 3 times aday with sopa and clearasel ultra and thirdly i put abit of washing up liquid on my spots like suggested by another person on this site. Ive only used this way for a couple of days and ive found the results very very good :)

I think that toothpaste leaves marks on your skin after the spots have gone so I don't recommend using toothpaste on your face. I heard that lavender oil is good for scars left by spots-the whole tea tree thing doesn't really work that well for me. Sudo-crem is great to use at night, just slap it on all over your face + in the morning the redness will be gone from all your spots. But you are still left wit dry skin from it. Does anyone know any good treatment 4 dry skin, apart from loads of water??

XxxNiamh :)

Well, i've had acne since i was 10 (ish) and i tried everything under the sun (sudo creme, tea tree oil) but nothing worked.. I went to the GP about a year and a half ago and he prescribed me many different medications but still, nothing worked. I finally got a referral for a dermotologist a few months ago and i am due to start (ro)accutane in two weeks. Hopefully it will work!
I just want to say to all the other girls out there that i know its difficult when you see all your friends with perfectly clear skin but if you persist,m you WILL get rid of them!..I have to think positive because this is the last treatment i can get without going for laser treatment.
If your skin really is bad (and im not just talking about the odd spot) then go and see your GP! It's nothing to be embarrassed about! Even though the treatments didn't work for me it doesn't mean that they cant work for you. If you try, you can beat it!

Anyways good luck! x

[[LISTEN HERE BEST ADVICE]]

Argh where do I start?! I'm 14 and I've had spots for about...2 years now!! When I first got them, it was ONLY on my forehead area..the rest was flawless! Then, over the summer, they seemed to fade, I was delighted. Even though they were at least 50 % better, they started to spread around. I didn't get them on my forhead, but on my cheeks instead. About 3 months ago now, I got clinique face wash, toner and moisteriser! That worked!! Ok, they definitly didnt go, but it was 100 percent better. Sadly, I think my skin has become ammune to it :( ....... Im currently on the pill to try and calm down the hormones, i tend to get reeli greasy skin. Its awful!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate it. I've been reading all the suggestions.....................So confusing though, because one person ses Oh my god that reeli works...n then the next one says it made them break out. I know people have different skin types but I really dont fancy risking it! haha please come up with something soon!! xx

I don't usually get spots but when I do it's really bad I find that if u wash ur face with hot water and soap (I mean really hot water! this opens ur pours and cleans them) and then straight away wash ur face with soap and freezing cold water (this closes ur pours and stops dirt from getting back in) and then just dry your face with a clean towel.

I have used all the creams oils... etc, but they will NOT go away.
I hope i don't have to wait a few year but in 2-3 year, but could they just eventually go away

Hey i hope this has sent it my first time! any how if you have dry to normal skin and it suffers from spots you should go to boots its best to get a hydrating make up cleaner a really good one is 'the sanctuary hydrating cleanser' this is the best one i've used then you should use a face scrub called 'smooth operator strawberry face scrub' these are vert gentle products and for a moisturiser i think 'Botanics day shift moisture lotion' is wicked all these do work as i use them and they can all be bought from boots plus it takes about a week to see how good they are i hope this helps good luck!

I suffer from really bad spots - i have been for almost 1 year now. Ive tried all the clearasil stuff which doesnt work for me , so i have started to clense,tone and moisturise my face every morning and night. Its cleared my skin a bit, give it a try!

I have clear skin most of the time and get the occaisonal break out. But dont worry if this happens to you.
* dont pile on conceler as it is greasy and makes spots worse-just use a little bit to cover the spot.
* use hot then cold water to clear your pores
*take off make up as soon as you get home to help stop greasyness
*dont worry about eating chocolate it dosent make any difference - just makes u fat =]
* SMILE! If you look happy no one notices your spots-look sad and everyone comes up to you and peers into ur face to ask whats wrong not good with a face ful of sopts. lol xD

Feel good about yourself and look after your skin! =P

Help !

i have spots and my friends have suggested sudocream i havent tried it yet but im thinking has anyone got any other suggestions for this ! it is really getting me down at the moment ! please help. thanks x

I have really big pores so i am constantly looking after my skin 0 cleanse, tone, mosturise! I rarely break out and when i do i get a few little ones, i find that sudo cream works for ONLY redness when the spot is going down! to get rid of the spot i use neutrogena treatment gel and its mazin if u got oily skin.

I have generally okay skin but i get the occasional horrible spot! I have tried sudocrem, toothpaste, clearisil and more but none have worked. I am going to try the hot water thing today and hopefully it will clear up my spots!

I just held an icepack on the spot for 10 minutes, and It hasn't fully gone yet, but its gone down loads.
I recommend this.
Works a treat! :)

I have really bad acne and ive found out a product called glycerin is supposed to help but it was making my acne even worse so i found a glycerin free product and it made it so much better

I think if you yous teatree oil it works a tret

Hey to help anyone i find clean&clear a pretty good brand for spots i use it and it keeps them under control!! but can any1 help me i use alot of skincare products but on my forehead i have VERY dry skin and i cant get rid of it!! does any1 know a sensitive skincare product to stop spots?!?! PLEASE REPLY!!!!!!!

I'm 19 now and i've had spots since i was abou 12; there's not been one day during that time when my skin has been completely spot free and it's really starting to depress me. Over the last year, there has been a noticable difference in my skin which i hope is me getting older and growing out of it but i still get regular breakouts (usually just before time of the month) and right now it's particularly bad. I have a small cluster of spots all together on one side of my chin and two of them are HUGE, really red and really sore - i feel like everyone is staring at them today and it's really getting to me. In the past i've tried every spot cream available to buy; some are good at first but my skin has soon got immune to them all. Toothpaste does work well to dry them out but only if you don't use it regularly as again, you get immune quickly (be prepared though, it can sting lots!) Tea tree oil has never really worked at all for me and the amount of chocolate i eat has never made a differnce.
I also went on antibiotics form teh doctors for a year for my spots and afterwards tried a contraceptive pill that also has affects against acne - both made an improvement to my spots but cauused bad side affects such as headaches and mood swings so i had to come off them.

The best treatments i have found are:

1) Drink lots of water, stick with it and you can really notice a difference
2) Only ever pop the spot if you have cleanser and some type of spot cream to put on it afterwards to clean it and always wash your hands before and after to stop spreading spots elsewhere - also, put a small piece of tissue paper over it afterwards to stop the juice that comes out turning into another whitehead.
3) The best thing so far that i have found top put on my spots is Savlon cream; a large amount smeared over the spot and left on over night does dry it out well and will make it look less reda nd slightly smaller but it has never completely got rid of a spot justovernight for me.
4) Most of all, take off your make-up completely everyday, never go to sleep in it; wash your face well and use a suitable face mask once a week to thoroughly clean out your skin.

Thanks for the advice on here about washing with cold water and then hot water, i'm going to give that a try tonight! Also, i know you shouldn't wear make-up as it makes the spots worse but it's easier to say than do - i just don't have the confidence to go out sometimes without make-up when my spots are really bad; i know that sounds sad and maybe a little shallow but they can just make you feel so rubbish about yourself. If you feel you have to cover them up i would suggest buying foundation that is specifically for oily skin and don't just buy a cheap one, better quality will be better for your skin. Also, only use a thin layer as piling the make-up on can sometimes just make the spot look even uglier, especially if it has a head.

I use freederm
I have used it for some time and think yes, it is really good because when a spot come it goes straight away ,
but it does not stop them from re-appearing
almost as soon as it is gone it comes back!

Hi all
just a quick tip....dont use normal body moisurisers on your face unless stated. These are normally very oily to help nourish ur more dryer and harder skin. Theses oils are too much on the face which is more sensitive. Buy one moisturiser for legs, arms etc and a seperate face and neck moisturiser. I didnt realise at first but now i stick to olay and my skins soft and far less greasey/spotty

Okay, so i'm training to be a beauty therapist and i hope i can help you all...

Firstly using cleansers, toners and moistureiser only cleans out the imprities in your skin. You still get spots, so this does not help although it does help with the overall appearance.

women UNDER 30 should not wear foundation, it clogs the pores and infects. which again causes spots. go for the tinted moisturiser, this will allow your skin to breathe.

also spots can be caused from diet, smoking, drinking, age, and sleep.

you can try anything from nail polish remover to toothpaste to sudocream it depends on your skin type. do not put anything too strong or a non aniseptic on your face, this will just feed the spot which will cause it to get bigger.

also, to maintain your skin after the spots are gone use cleanser toner and moisturiser yourspots wont come back. what also helps is using a SPF EVERYDAY, wehter its sunny or not, the sun will cause pre-mature aging and damage capillaries, which i think you'll agree is not a good look.

I hope i helped abit.
Much love and good luck :)

Well iv'e used cleariseal witch i did not think was all that useful my skin just went saw for a couple of hours but people are different it mite work for you. if you have spots on your forhead then pin your hair back and let the air get to it ,drink plenty of water,dont use foundation all the time only for odd ocastions,wash morning and nite with cold and hot water
sorry if you dont find my tips useful but im only trying to help
tiny.x GOOD LUCK

Is Tea Tree oil good for your skin? I have heard it can dry it out?

I started to drink alot more water than I usually did before and rubbed sudocrem on my face every night, after a couple of days my spots are alomst gone which is why I recomend water as the sudocrem didn't work on its own before .

Essential Interview Tips

2009-04-09T03:23:00.000-07:00

All of us have to go through them at some stage - whether it is to get into school or simply for that all elusive first job that you have been looking forward to(!) all your life.

Whatever the reason, virtually everyone goes through an interview at some stage of their life. Which, for many, is unfortunate, since they can be a very nerve-wracking process indeed. We can go in with all the best intentions, and end up waffling, or not saying enough, or a whole host of things. Either way, most people feel that they do not do themselves justice in an interview for a cornucopia of reasons.

This being the case, what can you do about it? How can you ensure that you give your best at interview - and hence be satisfied with the outcome whether or not you get the job, because remember not getting the job does by no means mean that you did not do well in the interview - it could simply be that you were not the best candidate or they were looking for a different mix of experience and abilities.

Well here are my tips on how to perform well at interview.

The first tip is actually before the interview - make sure that you send in a clear, uptodate CV, that does not sell yourself short but lists all your achievements. If you are required, bring one along with you to the interview as well as any certificates they may require. Read or listen carefully to all the information that you are given before the interview - if told to check-in 15 minutes before so, then do so.

Thus, the most important thing is to be punctual. If this means taking the earlier train than you normally would, then do so. Also, make sure that you dress appropriately - in most instances, this will require wearing a suit or at least dressing smartly; if this is not the case you will probably be told in advance.

Once at the interview, make sure that you are looking your best. If you have walked through a hurricane to get there, then make sure that you are dry and your hair is brushed - people want to employ those who take a pride in themselves and their appearance. Because first impressions are so important, if you are all over the place, as it were, then you many not be able to recover.

When you are called into interview, stand up straight and try your best to relax. if this means taking a few deep breaths before you go into that room, then by all means do so, tense then loosen your shoulders. Remember to smile when you get into the room - remember, first impressions again. Smile and be polite. Shake hands as appropriate, and wait to be told to be seated - don't just go in and sit down.

Throughout the interview be as happy and enthusiastic as possible, smiling and not looking glum. If you are tired, do not say so - remember you want to create a positive impression in their mind, so don't use any negatives about yourself or your situation.

Right, so you are in the interview. What now? You will no doubt be asked a variety of questions about the job, why you want the job and why you think you are suitable for the job. It is a good idea to have thought about these before you get into the room, but do not make the mistake than many do and learn prepared answers. That's because these will sound false and delivered in the interview, and they may not exactly fit the question.

So listen to the question. It is amazing how many people don't. When you answer, speak confidentally and slightly more slowly than you do normally - people have a tendency to gabble when under pressure. Also don't feel that you must speak and speak - say what you want to say, by all means, but then don't repeat it a hundred times. You won't be wanted, nor have the time to do this in most jobs.

Do not moan about previous jobs and bosses you have had, whether justified or not - no-one wants a moaner. Remember that you need to be positive throughout.

If you are asked about your strengths, don't be modest. If you are asked about your weaknesses, then make sure they can easily be turned into positives - don't say 'oh I am always late' because then they will run a mile. Perhaps sometimes you are too loyal, or over-enthusiastic to take the lead in certain circumstances which can lead you to take a little too much responsibility sometimes. Make them almost positive negatives.

Don't lie. Some people fall into this trap, and often they are caught out. It is hard to tell a lie convincingly as well, and they are usually found out because they need to pause longer when asked certain questions. You want to get the job truthfully.

Do not be defensive with your body language - don't fold your arms and lean back in your chair. Instead remain open and friendly, and if you want use your hands for emphasis - this looks confident. However don't go overboard and look as though you are conducting an orchestra, a trap that many people on tv fall into as you will have no doubt noticed at some stage!

You might like to try mirroring the person interviewing you - copying their body pose, and pattern of speech. This will help subconsciously build a rapport between you.

If you are asked a toughie, and most people are at some stage, then do feel prepared to ask for a minute to think about it. This is not a bad thing at all but shows that you are treating the interview seriously and want to give your best shot at giving a good answer rather than rushing a bad one. This will impress them if anything and is certainly not a bad point. Silences in interviews should not be awkward moments.

Afterwards thank the the interviewer, and if you get the opportunity to ask some questions do so, or if you really have covered everything in the interview, then say something like 'no, thanks, we have covered all the issues comprehensively in the course of this interview', or words to that effect - make it look as though you have taken the interview seriously and have prepared for it.

So, those are the tips. They may sound basic, but then the whole interview process is. They want someone who is happy, enthusiastic and confident. Yet surprisingly few people do this. But with the attitude and advice above and a little quality preparation, making sure you know why you want the job and why you think you would be good at it, then you can give it your best shot.

There is no magic trick to interviews, just follow the above and you will no doubt be able to do yourself justice. Also remember that you can get much better with practice, and having mock interviews where practical beforehand could be a good idea.

Good luck!

More than 500,000 music fans gathered in Berlin for the 2003 Loveparade. It all started in 1989, shortly before the all of the Berlin Wall, with a DJ called Dr.Motte, who led about 150 people in a musical demonstration for "peace,tolerance,respect,and understanding between nations." Since then, the parade has become an annual event for lovers of electronic dance music from all around the globe.

Who do you think or what to get eliminated tonight? Do you think whatever the judges says would reflect the way Americans vote? why or why not?

I am NOT a music critic I don't know whole lot about music. I believe they all did really good job. However if you really want my opinion, I believe Annop should go tonight. On top of that, I do believe whatever the judge says before the voting period begins would definitely would persuade how American vote.

Here are what some Yahoo users have to say about this topic.....do you agree? Please comment.

"it was ok"

By: scherzad...

"Adam is an amazing performer. Scott was the worse. I think the final three tonight will be Scott, Kris and Lil. With Scott going home. I think the judges comments were on the mark last night."

By:tom4texa...

"I personally don't like Scott or Lil! I think one of them should go home. Adam is really a great singer along with Allison. I think what the judges say doesn't impact the way we vote, because were going to vote for who we like, not based on who they like."

By : Melanie

"Adam and Allison did great last night. I think they should be the final two. Scott will probably go home unless he can pull out enough pity votes, he just doesn't have the voice to move on. He is good, but after a while, it all sounds the same for him."

How To Avoid Sun Damage On Holiday

With some simple, practical steps, you can avoid the perils of sun damage to your skin whilst on holiday.

The key tip is to avoid the midday sun; that is the sun whilst at its peak of strength. During the day between 11 - 3 therefore, always try and stay in the shade - whether you are after a tan or not.

After 3, or before 11, if you go in the sun, ensure that you cover up. That means noe just sunscreen on a naked body, but rather use a T-shirt, a hat, and sunglasses to reduce glare.

Use a high factor sunscreen - at least 15 - and also remember that one application is not enough; rather you need to re-apply every half an hour maximum.

In this way, you can have a great holiday, enjoy the sun, without the risk of skin damage.

How To Add Interest To Your Film

If you are filming then you will know that standard home videos can be plain and dull. Why?

Because the shots used tend to always be the same or pretty similar.

Therefore why not vary this by taking high angle low angle zoomed in and zoomed out shots - and any other you can think of.

Why? Because they add visual interest and a different view to the scenario and help mix things up.

If used effectively then these different angles for instance can also help convey the mood and realism of the scene more - for instance if filming through the eyes of a child then naturally the shot should be lower to account for their height for instance.

"Worst.Wrestlemania.EVER.
By no means do I want to offend anyone at all,but God...those were the most boring 4 hours of my life.
It started out great,actually,the MITB match was pretty entertaining.I'll let the whole CM Punk winning thing go and give it a nice 7 out of 10.The divas match was funny,though I had hoped they'd introduce them all,I don't think I saw everyone as the camera was from a very distant angle.Of course,when we found out that neither Trish or Lita were participating,we couldn't have hopes up for anything good,but WWE took the circumstances and managed to cheat their way into amusing us.Long live Santina.
This is where the good stuff ended,though.I can't say the matches were bad,they were just slow and boring.Mysterio vs Jbl was a joke(as much as I dislike the Wrestling God,I felt sorry for him)and the potentially awesome Hardy match,or HHH vs Orton turned fail.
I liked the fact that Matt won,though,it would've been a little cheesy if the feud had a "good conquers all" end.It makes me want to see how far they're willing to take it.
Cena won and there was no doubt that he would,though I have to admit he earned it.Lifting up a 700 pounder alone wins you some respect imo,not to mention with an surgered neck.My predictions for this WM were all wrong and I wouldn't mind one bit,had the event been worth it.
I'm also dissappointed that Punk didn't cash in the briefcase that same night,I was looking forward to it.Also,the fact that the Colons match was a dark one didn't help one bit,I wanted to see Miz and Morrison lose with my own eyes.
What can I say?This was supposed to be a silver anniversiry,but turned out nothing special.Kinda like the 500th epsiode of Smackdown.Better luck in 25 years,WWE!"

Should you stop shampooing your hair (so much)?

by Jennifer Romolini, Shine staff, on Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:20am PDT

I came across a story on Jezebel yesterday about the "no-poo" movement, a silly name for a concept that essentially says we Americans are washing our hair too much.

According to the original report on NPR, folks in the U.S. shampoo about 5 times a week, which is twice as much as Italians and Spaniards. Though we've been sold the "squeaky-clean hair is better" line through bouncy Salon Selectives-type commercials for decades, in reality, dermatologists believe frequent washing strips the hair of beneficial oil, causing follicular damage and drying out our manes.

This makes a ton of sense to me. Much to my husband's and closest friends' horror, I've long thought that Americans are overly obsessed with hygiene and freakish with how frequently we need to shower. I'm also unnerved by the numerous, super-powered products we use to keep us from smelling anywhere near human—think of the foaming washes on top of flowery exfoliators on top of soap; the industrial-strength, aluminum-based antiperspirants; and don't even get me started on any of in the scary, scented Massengill-type goods. This is not to say I go out smelling like I don't have a home—I've just never felt comfortable subscribing to an extreme "cleanliness is next to Godliness" doctrine. No one needs to be that clean.

My personal hygiene issues aside, there's another reason to cease lathering up so much, and this is where the "no-poo" movement was born. Shampoo comes in plastic bottles and plastic is (obviously) bad for the environment. So, in an effort to shrink their carbon footprint, some eco-conscious circles have gone to hair-product extremes. In the NPR article, one blogger admits to not using shampoo for three months and just rinsing her hair with baking soda and vinegar, which is kind of yucky. Eventually the woman had a bad case of dandruff and started using bar shampoo (which I've never tried because it seems like it would tangle the heck out of my hair. Has anyone tried it?), but she says that, during the experiment, her hair wasn't greasy at all, it just kind of smelled like pickles and she plans on going on a shampoo-fast again.

The NPR story is chock-full of interesting facts, including how our great-grandmothers only cleansed their heads once a month, that is until a 1908 New York Times story suggested they clean up every two weeks. Were these people gross? I don't know. One could argue that infrequent washing is a wise decision in these crappy economic times, and, if one used less shampoo, one could afford a better brand. Um, but going dirty for a month? That seems insane and like you would have no friends and probably, somehow, lose your job.

OK. Now your turn to weigh in: How often do you wash your hair?

When It Comes To Shampoo, Less Is More

by Allison Aubrey

· Americans love to shampoo. We lather up an average of 4.59 times a week, twice as much as Italians and Spaniards, according to shampoo-maker Procter & Gamble.

But that's way too often, say hair stylists and dermatologists. Daily washing, they say, strips the hair of beneficial oil (called sebum) and can damage our locks.

Shampoo Is Big Business

The current trend of frequent shampoos may have started on May 10, 1908, when the New York Times published a column advising women that it was OK to wash their hair every two weeks. At that time, once a month was the norm.

Decades later, TV marketing campaigns began to convince us that daily washing was the thing to do. A 1970s Faberge ad for Farrah Fawcett shampoo is one example.

"All you have to do is watch her running in slow motion on a beach with her hair flopping gracefully in the wind," says Steve Meltzer, a former ad executive. The idea was, "Wash your hair with this stuff, and you, too, can be like Farrah Fawcett," Meltzer says.

Madison Avenue sold people on the idea that they could shampoo their way back to beauty.

Ads also convinced us that daily hair washing is healthy. Remember the Breck girls? Or how about Christie Brinkley's body-building for hair ad with Prell?

Skipping Shampoos Is, Well, Un-American

Americans took easily to the idea that we should shampoo frequently. And lots of us find it disgusting to shampoo any less than once a day. Take some fitness-conscious college students from Georgetown University, for example. When I told them about the old-time advice to wash once a month, they almost gagged.

"That is way too little hair shampooing," laughs Jane Caudell-Feagan.

"If I don't shower every day, my hair gets greasy, so I think it's completely heinous," says her friend Ashley Carlini. After a workout, they say, it would be disgusting not to wash your hair.

Eco-Conscious 'No-'Poo' Movement

Given our cultural propensity to lather up frequently, it may be shocking that in some eco-conscious circles of society, some people are giving up shampoo.

"There's a lot of people doing this no-shampoo movement," says 20-something blogger Jeanne Haegele. She writes a blog called LifeLessPlastic.

In an attempt to buy fewer items with plastic packaging, Haegele recently went three months without using any shampoo. Instead, she washed her hair with baking soda twice a week and conditioned it with a vinegar rinse.

She says her hair didn't smell, and her friends were very supportive. "Maybe they were secretly wondering why I smelled like a jar of pickles," she says jokingly.

She ended the no-'poo experiment after developing a bad case of dandruff, but Haegele says she might try it again.

She recalls the biggest surprise was that her hair didn't get very greasy. For now, she's using shampoo bars a few times a week.

Dermatologist Recommends Shampooing Less

Experts say Haegele's observations are not flaky. As she washed less, her sebaceous glands began producing less sebum oil.

"If you wash your hair every day, you're removing the sebum," explains Michelle Hanjani, a dermatologist at Columbia University. "Then the oil glands compensate by producing more oil," she says.

She recommends that patients wash their hair no more than two or three times a week.

There's also a lot of variation among hair types. African-Americans and people with curly hair can go even longer between washes compared to folks with straight hair.

So, it seems, less is more. And maybe our grandmothers were on to something after all.

Earth Quake in Italy

Here is an article which I found in yahoo on the earthquake in Italy which it just happened. It reminded me of the powerful earthquake happened in China last year. A lot of school kids died from that earthquake.

Powerful earthquake in central Italy kills 50

By MARTA FALCONI, Associated Press Writer Marta Falconi, Associated Press Writer – 39 mins ago

L'AQUILA, Italy – A powerful earthquake in mountainous central Italy knocked down whole blocks of buildings early Monday as residents slept, killing at least 50 people and trapping many more, officials said. Thousands were homeless.

The earthquake's epicenter was about 70 miles (110 kilometers) northeast of Rome near the medieval city of L'Aquila. It struck at 3:32 a.m. local time (0132 GMT) in a quake-prone region that has had at least nine smaller jolts since the beginning of April. The U.S. Geological Survey said Monday's quake was magnitude 6.3, but Italy's National Institute of Geophysics put it at 5.8.

Interior Minister Roberto Moroni, arriving in L'Aquila hours after the quake, said 50 people had been killed.

Officials said the death toll was likely to rise as rescue crews clawed through the debris of fallen homes.

L'Aquila Mayor Massimo Cialente said some 100,000 people had left their homes and that many buildings in the city's historic center were damaged. Slabs of walls, twisted steel supports, furniture and wire fences were strewn about the streets and a gray dust carpeted sidewalks, cars and residents.

As ambulances screamed through the city, firefighters aided by dogs worked feverishly to reach people trapped in fallen buildings, including a student dormitory where half a dozen university students were believed still inside.

Outside the half-collapsed dorm, tearful young people huddled together, wrapped in blankets, some still in their slippers after being roused from sleep by the quake.

"We managed to come down with other students but we had to sneak through a hole in the stairs as the whole floor came down," said student Luigi Alfonsi, 22. "I was in bed — it was like it would never end as I heard pieces of the building collapse around me."

The town of Castelnuovo also appeared hard hit, with five confirmed dead there.

Premier Silvio Berlusconi declared a state of emergency, freeing up federal funds to deal with the disaster. He canceled a visit to Russia and planned to go to L'Aquila to deal with the crisis.

Residents and rescue workers hauled away debris from collapsed buildings by hand.

Firefighters pulled a woman covered in dust from the debris of her four-story home. Rescue crews demanded quiet as they listened for signs of life from other people believed still trapped inside.

Parts of L'Aquila's main hospital were evacuated because they were at risk of collapse, forcing the wounded to be treated in the open air or taken elsewhere.

Bloodied victims waited to be tended to in hospital hallways or outside in the hospital courtyard. Only two operating rooms were working. Civil protection crews were erecting a field hospital to deal with the influx of wounded.

On the city's dusty streets, as aftershocks continued to rumble through, residents hugged one another, prayed quietly or frantically tried to call relatives. Residents covered in dust pushed carts full of clothes and blankets that they had hastily packed before fleeing their homes.

"We left as soon as we felt the first tremors," said Antonio D'Ostilio, 22, as he stood on a street in L'Aquila with a huge suitcase piled with clothes he had thrown together. "We woke up all of a sudden and we immediately ran downstairs in our pajamas."

Agostino Miozzo, an official with the Civil Protection Department, said between 10,000 and 15,000 buildings were damaged. He said stadiums and sporting fields were being readied to house the homeless.

"This means that the we'll have several thousand people to assist over the next few weeks and months," Miozzo told Sky Italia. "Our goal is to give shelter to all by tonight."

ANSA said the dome of a church in L'Aquila collapsed, while the city's cathedral also suffered damage.

The Israeli Embassy in Rome said that officials were trying to make contact with a few Israeli citizens believed to be in the region who had not been in touch with their families. Embassy spokeswoman Rachel Feinmesser did not give an exact number.

L'Aquila lies in a valley surrounded by the Apennine mountains. It is the regional capital of the Abruzzo region, with about 70,000 inhabitants.

The last major quake to hit central Italy was a 5.4-magnitude temblor that struck the south-central Molise region on Oct. 31, 2002, killing 28 people, including 27 children who died when their school collapsed.

The celebration featured such attractions as the deodorant toss, the sweaty T-shirt contest, and the armpit beauty pageant. A stinky time was had by all.

How To Create A Great Essay

To write a great essay, you need to make sure that you work logically.

Start with a beginning, have a middle and an end.

Write a quick list of key words or key points before hand to plan the essay and work them in.

Remember to ask yourself several questions about the question for instance what, why, where, when and how and try to go through them one by one and answer them all during the course of your essay.

The more thorough your treatment of the subject probably the better you will be able to do and the better your mark.

For essays not in exams, a good tip is to try to find a relevant quotation that you can use at the start or somewhere in the essay to support what you are writing.

This may be from the book or topic itself or a quote from some other author that sums up or expresses the viewpoint that you are looking to create.

Medical emergencies in the air rise as more people with existing conditions travel

By Anne-Marie Tobin, The Canadian Press

TORONTO - If you've ever been on a plane, feeling a little dizzy or under the weather, the thought might cross your mind: How would the airline deal with a medical emergency in the air?

In fact, it's a relatively common occurrence, and each airline has its own set of protocols for helping someone in distress.

WestJet has seen its number of incidents increase. There were 888 health-related issues in the air last year, including nine instances when planes were diverted for medical reasons, said Mark Frezell, director of in-flight for the airline.

"One, it's due to the growth in our flights, and second, I believe it's attributed to our aging population," he said from Calgary.

Last month, a paper published in The Lancet looked at medical issues associated with commercial flights, and said that almost two billion people travel aboard commercial airlines every year.

"In-flight medical events are increasingly frequent because a growing number of individuals with pre-existing medical conditions travel by air," it said.

Resources to deal with such situations include basic and advanced medical kits, automated external defibrillators and support from medical staff on the ground, said co-author Dr. Mark Gendreau of Lahey Clinic Medical Center in Burlington, Mass.

"To their credit, the airlines have really stepped up and enhanced their ability to deal with in-flight medical emergencies, over, I would say, the last eight years," he said in an interview.

Typically, flight attendants or the captain will ask if there's a doctor on board to assist, and will check credentials before accepting the help. A satellite phone or radio will be used to contact physicians on the ground.

WestJet and many other airlines around the world have contracts with MedAire, an Arizona-based company that took its first call at the MedLink Global Response Center in 1987.

It draws upon the expertise of physicians in the emergency department of Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, and has access to more than 100 medical specialties.

MedLink receives about 17,000 calls a year from airplanes, said Heidi Giles MacFarlane, vice-president of strategic development. Altogether, there were 649 medical-related diversions in 2007, meaning that a plane had to land somewhere other than its planned destination so that a passenger could receive care.

But diversions are upsetting to passengers, require reprogramming of navigation equipment and can affect the landings and takeoffs of other flights, according to Gendreau.

"Airports charge the airline a fee for diverting the aircraft to their airport unexpectedly," he said. "And this is not cheap. It can range from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on the airport."

At Air Canada, spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick says the airline's top priority is the safety of all customers and crew.

"This is why it is very important that customers with medical conditions such as recent major surgery, or certain known illnesses or injuries, be approved for travel before the departure (48 hours)," he said in an email.

MacFarlane said the typical incidents on board are usually not that devastating.

"The most common injury - there are two, actually, that compete for top place. And one is appendage injuries from meal carts and beverage carts, so people get their knees hit frequently or their toes run over from the carts. And then objects falling from overhead storage bins."

On the illness side, fainting is the most common event, she said.

There are a number of contributing factors. For instance, someone might be winded from having run from a tight connection, or just be generally unwell.

"As you go up in altitude you become oxygen deprived, or what they call hypoxic," she said.

In 2007, MedAire's top medical complaint overall was neurological at 5,836 cases, followed by gastrointestinal at 3,373, respiratory at 1,699, cardiovascular at 1,393 and orthopedic at 733.

Recently, they received a call about a child who had ingested silica beads from a shoebox, and the parents were quite distraught, said MacFarlane.

"The MedLink physician was able to involve the poison control centre at the hospital to specifically discuss the chemical dangers of silica gel, which, by the way, happened to be benign - other than perchance making the child vomit."

In terms of flight attendant training, Frezell said WestJet goes above and beyond Transport Canada standards that require a first-aid course once every three years.

"We try and teach them not only the skill and procedures around first aid but then how to manage the situation, and that's a big part of it," he said.

"Some specific things this year that we're working on - we usually hit this every year - is CPR and using the automated external defibrillators, AEDs. They're on every aircraft."

Gendreau said that in the United States, medical kits are part of the cockpit checklist and the plane can't leave the ground without them.

He gives a lot of talks to physicians on the topic of offering in-flight medical assistance.

"And the airlines are notorious for - you're assisting in an in-flight emergency and you ask 'Can you please get me the medical kit?' And they come back with this Mickey Mouse kit that has bandages, Band-Aids and a stethoscope, but not that real enhanced kit."

"And as I tell the physicians, you have to specifically tell them 'I want the advanced medical kit please."'

A death on board is the worst experience, the experts agree. In 2007 there were 77 deaths on board flights that MedAire was assisting.

"In the event that someone appears to have expired, we would typically advise them to continue on (to the intended destination), and then we would provide advice on how to best handle the situation given the circumstances," MacFarlane said.

On the flip side, she said two babies were born on flights in recent months, and the mothers and babies were fine.

"It's very, very frightening from a number of perspectives because you're dealing with not just one life, but suddenly two. And there's nothing more rewarding than being told that the baby's been born and is crying - and it's usually not just the baby that's crying at that point."

Frezell said WestJet has never had the experience. "We haven't had to give birth, which is great. That's not part of our first-aid program, so we'd be doing a diversion for that."

Drinks To Serve At A Drinks Party

Of course, there are some drinks that it goes without saying that you should have ready for any decent drinks party.

They are, of course, some wines and beers. However also be sure to include some non alcoholic drinks and have plenty of different mixers ready so that people can create their own or their favourite combinations!

With cocktails pick ones that can be mixed in a reasonable sized quantity rather than fiddly ones which can only be done individually.

If you are wondering what quantities to provide, then a good estimate would be to ensure that you have about half a bottle of wine per person at the event.

How To Find The Right Job For You

When you get a new job, sometimes it can feel like a one way street - you are interviewed by the company, they decide whether you are right for them, they judge everything about you...

But do you stop and judge them too?

The thing is, that the job process is too way - the company has to be right for you too. And that's where many people go wrong.

Have you ever hated going to work pretty much every day - the reason usually is something cultural, they don't do things the way that you like, or it just doesn't seem a good fit with you.

If this sounds familiar, then you need to ensure that you use your opportunity to ask questions at an interview to deduce the mentality of the company.

In addition, see if you can chat to some other employees as that is often the best way to get behind the corporate gloss and see what really goes on in a company.

Gaga was scary. I mean, that was a really scary performance. I hate her music, and that Halloween-freak-show-performance sealed the deal.

David Cook - what a cutie!!"

By:♥♀ Dee ♀♥

"I do like the Lady Gaga song "Poker Face" but last nites version was a bit odd. I liked David Cook's new song. Love him!
YES I do believe America finally got one right. Megan was the one to go, and if they want to get it right next week, Scott will be going home too. He really isn't that good, and I don't know why he is still there, unless he is getting the sympathy votes for being blind, which is wrong if thats the case. This is a singing competition, and for that he gets like a 5 on a 1 to 10 scale."

By: BoosGram...

"Do I think America made the right choice by eliminating Megan? Absolutely! I'm soooooooooooo glad she's gone! Good grief! I cannot stand her voice. It's like listening to nails on a chalk board every time I hear her sing. I get the fact that she's unique and different, but unique and different doesn't make someone a great singer. Plus she's made bad song choices every week and she's very arrogant when she receives criticism from the judges. "Well, I have a big fan base and they'll still vote for me." I was appalled when she said that (or it was something to that affect) last week. Perhaps her "fans" had a wake-up call. Oh, and when started cawing and flapping her arms when Ryan announced she was in the bottom three I literally exclaimed out loud, "What the hell?!?!?!?!?!" And when she told Simon that she basically didn't care what he thought, that further confirmed to me how egotistical she is. She was becoming a bit of a nuisance so I'm thrilled that she's gone.

And I thought Lady Gaga's performance was a bit odd. I noticed towards the end that it looked like she had a blue glittery lobster claw over one of her eyes and thought that was strange. Now, I've always been a fan of David Cook, but I thought his performance was just okay. It didn't "WOW" me, but I still love him."

The most important skills to develop most careers are not actually downright technical and related to the actual job you are doing (particularly in modern office based jobs).

Rather they are more generic:

- the ability to get on well with others

- a capacity for change without grumbling (maybe not as strong as 'embracing change' - that's just for HR people)

- resourcefulness

- ability to work through uncertainty

- good time management, and working to deadlines

- clear and calm communicator

- excellent team working ability

- general adaptability

If you possess all of these skills, then the truth is that you can fit into and do most jobs. Sure you need to learn the knowledge specific to that job, but they just employ the same skills on a different knowledge set. Therefore the skills are more important than the knowledge.

How To Advertise Your Online Business

If you have an online business, then you will need to advertise it to get people to come.

The only exception may be as a well known and established company, but for anyone else and certainly the small internet shop looking to sell information and make money online, then you need to advertise.

Good places to try include newsgroups that are related to your target audience, giving you so-called warm leads, and also bulletin boards and forums related to your topic.

The beauty is these are nearly always free to join and you know that other people who come are actively interested in your target market - persistence over time therefore means a great opportunity.

Key tip: take an active part in the forums don't just see them as somewhere to advertise. Get to know the regulars and help out where possible and they might turn into customers themselves and recommend you to others.

What did you think of American Idol last night?

2009-04-01T10:33:00.000-07:00

Who do you think or want to get eliminated tonight? How come the show only run 1 hr and 25 minutes, not the full 1 and half hour? Do you have any suggestions for that?

Here what are some Yahoo users have to say about this particular subject.....

"the blind dude or the red headed girl needs to go. They are somewhat annoying. The show was only that long so the new Ozzy show can have an extra 5 minutes."

by : Puffins

"It was better than I expected it to be. I was really worried that the show would suck because, let's face it - most new music is trash. Anoop and Meghan were awful, Matt, Allyson, and Adam were tolerable. Danny, Lil, and Scott were very good. Kris Allen stole the show.

I'm hoping that tonight we finally see Meghan get the boot."

By : kitchens...

"I thought Kris was the very best last night. Danny was my second favorite. Adam performed as expected-well.
I think that Megan need to go home tonight before Anoop or Matt."

How To Ask Questions To An Interviewee

If you are asking questions to an interviewee, there are some things you can do to make your job, and theirs, much easier in the efficient exchange of information.

The first is to ask direct questions, with as few words as possible.

Don't beat around the bush and say:

"Please could you tell me a little bit about the key things that you might have done in situation X to achieve a desired target of Y"

But keep it simple and direct:

"Tell me how you achieved Y in situation X".

The filling words just give more for the candidate to think about and don't help; always ask the question in simple and succinct terms.

Notice the use of a clear leading word: HOW. Always couch questions with a word like how to allow focus for the candidate to answer. Rather than 'a little bit about' which is more vague and doesn't lead so much.

Also remember not to ask questions negatively. Don't ask:

"Tell me the things that didn't go right in the situation?" but rather

"What went well, and what could have gone better?"

Questions asked in the negative are proven not to be as effective at getting good quality responses as those couched in positive terms.

Aloe Vera And Skin Care

Many people will have heard of aloe vera in the context of skin care. But what is aloe vera?

Well, aloe vera is a plant that belongs to the well known Lily family of flowers. It looks a little like a cactus, and has been used for its medicinal properties over the years - though only a couple of varieties have medicinal properties.

Much of the plant is water, but the outer leaf contains a sap that is used for lotions and gels and is beneficial. Rich in many vitamins and minerals, all together, these can have a powerful help in skin care.

Aloe vera can be used on the skin to help with many conditions, for instance bires or scrapes, eczema or mild burns.

KNOWING

Here are what some top movie critics have to say about this particular movie.

"March 21, 2009 | If Alex Proyas' "Knowing" were reasonably entertaining -- instead of just dour, pointless and tedious -- it would be a camp classic. My favorite moment is the one in which Nicolas Cage, as an MIT professor who's acquired a special sheet of paper that gives him the inside scoop on upcoming dire catastrophes, rings his estranged parents to warn them of impending global doom. He urges them to head underground: "The basement, the sewers, the T!" he offers helpfully.

Although I've ridden Boston's subway system many times and can vouch for its safety and relative efficiency, I wouldn't recommend it as a place to hide from the apocalypse. But according to the logic of "Knowing," well, why not? This is also a movie in which the Angel of Doom shows up in a black raincoat that looks as if it came from the sale rack at Brooks Brothers. (With his bleached-blond quiff, he also looks like Spike, from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," except with zero sexual charisma.)

No fewer than five people are credited with having worked on the script of "Knowing," though if it were left to me to guess, I would have put that number closer to 17. There's a lot going on in "Knowing," and important themes crisscross and swerve with abandon: Cage's character, John, has recently been widowed, and he and his son, Caleb (Chandler Canterbury), are still mourning her loss. We learn early on that John, a man of science, doesn't believe in heaven, or even in -- gasp! -- God. Then a page full of mysterious numbers falls into his possession: A troubled little girl scrawled them out in 1959; they've been locked away in a time capsule ever since. When John looks carefully at the numbers, he notes a terrible sense of logic to them: They make specific references to the dates of past disasters -- 9/11, the Oklahoma City bombing, any number of plane crashes and train derailments -- and John fears they may point to future catastrophes as well. Can he stop these tragedies? Will he regain his faith? And will he meet a cute babe -- one played by Rose Byrne -- in the interim?

You probably already know the answer to at least one of those questions. As for the others, Proyas ("I, Robot") makes sure we get to see a good selection of massive disasters, including a plane crash in which victims, burning to death, scream in pain. There's also a wildfire in which assorted moose, deer and bears -- also in flames, and clearly suffering -- stampede in fear. But hey, it's all CGI, so who cares? And it's all in the service of a greater idea: We must have Faith, with a capital F.

Cage used to be a pretty consistently terrific actor, and often he's been good even in the dumb, schlocky movies he's been choosing over the past 10 years or so. But in "Knowing," he mostly just stumbles around with his mouth hanging open, dumbstruck by his realization that he knows very little about the universe and, worse yet, has almost no control over it. Thus, he must put his faith in a power greater than his own. I hope that doesn't mean his agent."

_________________________________________________________________________________

Knowing is a portentous numerological global-warming-to-the-nth-power thriller, in which Nicolas Cage plays an MIT professor who figures out that The End is near. If you want to know how inept the movie is...well, it's so inept that you may wish you were watching an M. Night Shyamalan version of the very same premise. At least Shyamalan, in his dud The Happening, is a compulsive audience-gooser, whereas Alex Proyas (The Crow), the director of Knowing, has no idea what to do between calamitous set pieces. There's one terrifying moment (it's featured in the television promos), where a jetliner comes hurtling out of a stormy sky with a nightmare suddenness that is up close and vivid. But Cage, gaunt and haunted (or maybe just vacant), spends far too much time doing his antsy-perturbed thing as he tries to decipher a sheet of numerals dug up from a time capsule — a code that foretells every global disaster of the past 50 years, as well as a few that have yet to happen.

As he ponders and marinates, we have time to consider questions like: Why, in the midst of this vaguely millennial muddle, does Cage's prof live in a mansion that's lit like the setting for a Disney ghost story? And what are those nicely attired blond alien attachés, who could be refugees from a Depeche Mode video, up to? You may also wonder what Cage, at this point in his career, does to psych himself up for a scene in which he's driving and screaming lines like, ''We have to go where the numbers want us to go!'' Knowing is a trash-compactor hodgepodge of Deep Impact, The Number 23, Close Encounters, and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Too often, though, it's the movie that stands still, as it counts down to one of those ''mind-blowing'' digital cataclysms that dissipates the moment you walk up the aisle

By : Owen Gleiberman

_________________________________________________________________________________

UH-UH. Non. Nein. Neg ative. Sept. 11 is not to be used as the setup for a cheesy disaster prophecy flick.

In the fiercely ridiculous "Knowing," Nicolas Cage plays John, a widowed MIT professor looking at a page of random digits when the series 91101 leaps out at him. It's followed by the number of people killed that day. Other disasters listed include 041995, for the Oklahoma City bombing, and 022307, the day "The Number 23" was released.

The numerals, dropped into a time capsule by a disturbed little girl 50 years ago, include the date, location and death toll of every natural disaster in that period, plus a few into the future. The next one's here, so naturally John zips from Boston to Manhattan by the most logical method: the Brooklyn Bridge. He knows the disaster could be anything including a plane crashing on that spot, yet he thinks he has a scientific, MIT-ish method for foiling danger: to stand around looking for suspicious characters. Soon he's randomly chasing a guy whose crime appears to be wearing a jacket.

John's an agnostic who doesn't believe life has any meaning. "I think s - - t just happens," he says. I can vouch for that, having seen "National Treasure 2," but someone is sure helping to make it happen. Like Cage, who sticks to his habit of shouting punch lines, like a 16-year-old at a midnight screening of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." (Example: "I'm just trying to understand why THIS IS SAYING THEY WILL!")

John, in world-saving mode, winds up in the middle of more disaster areas than Anderson Cooper. Did you know that when a plane slams into the ground at high velocity, everyone on it initially survives? Yep, apparently they all get out and run around yelping as they burn. Now I know why the stuntmen call these scenes "fire gags."

Amid chatter about global warming, the sinister doings of whispery figures pursuing John's son, and the secrets known only by the daughter (Rose Byrne) of the girl who originally wrote the prophecy, the movie, directed by Alex Proyas ("I Robot") at least manages to keep you interested, if your eardrums are in the mood for a pummeling and your eyeballs like to drink up apocalyptic images.

At one point a woman on one side of me at the screening had both hands over her ears, while the girl to the other side had both hands over her eyes. I felt like the speak-no-evil monkey in the middle, but speak I must. The movie begins shameless, grows stupid and winds up silly. If the ending had less of the air of a crackpot religion and more pretentiousness, you could almost call it Shyamalanish.

10 Great Reasons to Exercise

2009-03-28T16:59:00.000-07:00

Here is a great article which I found in Yahoo that I want to post in my blog and share it with whoever is reading it.

Provided by Caroline Biron

Need some motivation to get you exercising? Here are 10 great reasons that are sure to move (literally) you!

1. For more self confidence: when you feel more comfortable in your own skin, you gain self assurance and have a higher confidence in your abilities to surmount any obstacles that come your way.

2. For better sleep: Studies show that people who engage in moderate-intensity physical activity for 30 or 40 minutes on a regular basis, fall asleep twice as easily as their sedentary counterparts.

3. For more energy: your body absorbs and processes oxygen more easily, which releases tension from your muscles (and head).

4. For better sex: great sex depends on good overall health and high cardiovascular endurance (among other things, of course). Being comfortable with your own body also helps you feel more liberated and open with your partner.

5. For your savings: people who don’t exercise on a regular basis pay, on average, 10% more for their annual medical expenses. Tack on an additional 8% if they are obese.

6. For long life: by exercising on a regular basis, you reduce your risk of health problems and disease, thus increasing your life expectancy.

7. For friendship: by engaging in physical activity (particularly team sports) you create bonds with other people who share your interests.

8. For less stress: when you exercise, your body releases the day’s stress and tension, and allows you to clear your mind and stop thinking about your problems, if even for a little while.

9. For snack control: new studies show that exercise is your best ally in the fight against snacking. It’s simple, regular physical activity reduces stress; by reducing stress, you reduce cravings.
10. For fun: physical activity should be enjoyable, that’s main reason to get moving.

Here are 10 slightly less great reasons :
1. To stop your arm from jiggling when you wave goodbye.
2. To pick up the sexy trainer at the gym.
3. To have an excuse to buy an iPod.
4. To look like Anna Kournikova.
5. To strut around in a bikini with pride.
6. To make your ex really sorry that he dumped you.
7. To fit into your skinny jeans.
8. To look hot for your new beau.
9. To buy the cute Madonna track suit at H&M.
10. To run after the bus (or the garbage truck) without passing out.

I found the performance of Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson creepy and uncomfortable for some reason. Lol.

Stevie Wonder was awesome."

By : Sara

"I kinda figured Micheal was going home but I think he was happy he was going home because of the coment his daughter made and his life is never going to be the same and he still get's to go on tour so that is cool but he knows that if god didn't want him to go farther he would have

I was glad Megan,Allison,Adam,Scott,and Danny were safe I like them

the perfomance by Stevie wonder was mind blowing but the performance by Joss Stone and Smoky Robinson was kinda weird overall I thought it was a good night"

Did they do a good job in Motown music? Who do you think or want to get eliminated?

Here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular subject, do you agree or disagree with them?

"for the most part, i liked last nights show. i think the bottom 3 should be megan, michael, and scott. i hope megan goes home, but i doubt it will be her, probably michael. i think he is better than her, just picked some bad songs recently."

By: hannahs mom

"For the most part is was overall okay. Some did bad, some did okay, some did good.

My favorite is Megan who did bad."

By : DT [=

"Allison and Adam did great. But Allison for me was amazing.

Kris and Matt were great.

Danny, Lil and Anoop were alright.

Megan (too bad though), Michael and Scott were TERRIBLE.

I want Michael S. or Scott be eliminated."

By :Denim ™

"Last night was more about the judges and their antic's then the Talent in the show, especially how they ignored the little 16 yr. old that sang last and was terrific. But the judges were tied up in coloring books and crayons."

By: kb8mmd1

"Well some were great and some were horrible! Over all it was OK last week was better.

Matt Giraud - Lets Get It On **** kara's crush did great
Kris Allen - How Sweet It Is *** still cute lol
Scott Macintyre - You Cant Hurry Love ** eh
Megan Joy - For Once In My Life NO STARS HORRIBLE
Anoop Desai - Ooh Baby Baby *** good
Michael Sarver - Aint too Proud To Beg ** not good, good attitude though
Lil Rounds - Heatwave *** stop sreaming at me
Adam Lambert - Tracks Of My Tears ***** fave, falsettos were amazing
Danny Gokey - Get Ready **** great as always
Allison Iraheta - Papa Was A Rollin Stone *** sounds good but I just dnt like her

Bottom 3 will be Michael, Scott and Megan or maybe even Allison I hope

Michael will probably go but Megan deserves to go home but I doubt it."

By :aseret_m...

"With all the songs Motown has done I was expecting a lot more old school soul with lots of room for vocal interpretation. I was kinda disappointed with a few of the song choices. My favorites were Adam, Anoop and Danny.
I hope Megan goes this week."

By :beespost

"I think Megan was pretty awful, but I think Scott or Michael will go--hopefully Scott, he's really boring lately"

By:Julie V

"I think Megan, Michael, and Scott should be in the bottom 3, with Megan going home.

Yeah she's pretty but so what? Girl can't sing, and that's all there is to it. She gets on my nerves with her attitude.

Im pretty sure Michael will be going home though. His last few performances have been mediocre at best."

By :εϊз ıғ ÿọű ѕєєқ αღỹ εϊз

"I think for the most part the contestants did a good job. I think Megan will get eliminated. Her performance was just awful. I also don't know what Paula was doing for the majority of the performances but it wasn't really paying attention, she is just wacky,lol."

By : jessiely...

"I'm a huge Motown fan and I thought for the most part the show was good. But I wish someone had picked Just My Imagination (Runnin Away With Me)...that's my favourite Motown tune. Maybe too difficult, who knows?
I was disappointed in Lil Rounds. She should have shone on that stage and she was just ordinary for her standards. Not a good song choice for her vocal ability.

Megan was horrible. Michael was almost as bad and Scott was below average too. They were clearly the bottom 3. I don't know what the big fuss is over Kris Allen, he's just an alright singer yet people keep singing his praises.

Adam was friggin' amazing...I love that song so much. And his rendition is almost record worthy. I thought Anoop did well as did Matt and Allison, especially hitting her note at the end."

By : Kevin D (D. Original)

"Motwon music was gay, they need to let them do what they want. I love Megan the best, then Danny and Alison and Matt."

By:celexa

"Overall I think Motown night went fairly well. Contrary to what the judges said I actually like Danny's rendition of, "Get Ready." I personally thought he was the best last night. I have a strong feel he's gonna make it to the final two.

And I've never really be a fan of Adam, but I have to say that he sang REALLY well last night. It was refreshing to actually hear him sing as opposed to previous performances where I felt like he just screamed during the songs.

I also thought Anoop did well. His falsetto was very nice sounding. And I've been a fan of him since the day he auditioned and sang, "Thank You," by Boyz II Men. After he auditioned I searched for clips of him on You Tube and discovered that he sang in an all male a cappella (sp?) group for the University of North Carolina. After watching those clips it made me want him to succeed even more.

As for the bottom three, Dial Idol.com (a website the makes Idol predictions based on the busy signals a contestant's voting phone number receives) shows that Scott, Michael and Megan are in the bottom three. And I agree with the site's predictions as well. Scott is actually a much better piano player than a singer because his voice is just mediocre. Michael has a good voice, but he doesn't stand out nor have the caliber to compare to contestants like Danny or Allison. And as for Megan...good grief. I cannot stand her voice. It's like listening to nails on a chalk board every time I hear her sing. I get the fact that she's unique and different, but unique and different doesn't make someone a great singer. If it were up to me, she'd be the one who goes home tonight, but unfortunately it's not. And of course, Dial Idol's predictions are not 100% accurate so we'll just have to wait until tonight to see the results."

Here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic....

"I think it was fine. We all wanted a president concerned with Main St and it was just another way for him to show that he's open minded. I don't think he personally wants to portray a movie star. I think our over dramatic media makes far too much out of nothing, just to get a story. I also think that he meant no harm when joking about his bowling game and that was blown way out of porportion! I have special needs children that are very close to my heart and I was not offended! Once again, media makes a mountain out of a mole hill!"

"I personally enjoyed it, and I look forward to hearing him again tonight when he speaks again. Thank you."

"he did very well, very reassuring performance. when bush tried to be funny he always just ended up being a dick."

"Republicans hate it and Democrats like it. I'm an Independent, and I liked it."

"
I thought his comment on his bowling skills are like the Special Olympics were disgusting, anytime you make a joke about Handicap people it is just horrible, but I am sure since all of the Idiots in our country love this moron then he will get away with saying it. Imagine if it was Bush he would have been crusified but Bush would never say that because he has too much class."

"I think it is disgusting you would think he was a movie star instead of a kenya imposing as an American.

BUT his comment about bowlling was funny.....poltical correctedness is for the birds."

"
He's "just doing what he's told to?". He's the President. Who told him to go on Leno? He's addicted to the rock star status and attention he got on the campaign trail.

Regardless of my opinion of him and his policy direction for the country, I find him very fun to watch.

However, if I hear the words "I inherited this situation... yadi yadi yadi... but the buck stops here!" I will vomit. It's like a worn record.

I liked the look on his face after Leno told him that everyone throws the basketball games when they play with him. Obama hammed that up pretty good pretending like his feelings were hurt. He's a funny guy. :)"

9 Reasons People Cheat

* by Rich Santos, Marie Claire, on Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:05am PDT

Why do I find it so easy not to cheat?

Maybe I'm not very attractive, so my options are limited. Maybe I'm too jaded to go for the cheating opportunities. Maybe I still have some mental wounds lingering from when my dad temporarily moved out because he had met another woman. Maybe I'm too afraid that I've reached my sin quotient and one more big sin will keep me out of heaven.

Cheating is not a caught in the moment thing if you are really into your significant other, you miss them when you are not with them, you don't look for a way to hurt or deceive them.

I am just now patching up a friendship with someone I was seeing while they had a boyfriend (that may make me a cheater). At different points she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend, that they were back together, and that he was boring and I was fun. It was total confusion.

I told her she wasn't being fair to herself, me, or him.

Finally, she said, "you just don't understand, there are things you don't know." Thing is she's been cheating on him for a couple of years with different guys, and he keeps taking her back.

So, are cheaters born cheaters, or do certain situations cause people to cheat? Probably a little bit of both. Here are some situations that make people cheat:

1. Bored
I'd say this is the most common reason that people cheat.It's tough to keep that edge throughout a relationship. Things start off grand and then level off and then you both realize that it's still real life. When you meet someone else, that inaugural excitement of a new relationship kicks back in.

2. Dependence
At first glance, cheating seems like independent behavior. It could be interpreted as doing what you want, when you want. But I would argue that cheating is a dependent behavior. A cheater is dependent because they are not strong enough to break up with their significant other in order to get with the new person.

3. Confusion
Sometimes life or a particular situation can get to you. When the perfect storm of confusion is going on in your head, you make mistakes.

4. Because They Let You
If any girl ever cheated on me, I'd break up with her immediately. Forgiving a cheater is putting up with it, and starts a vicious cycle. That person who cheated may lose respect for you and might continue to cheat-because they know they can get away with it, because you'll continue to take them back.

5. Nurturing
If someone is mistreating you, then your first instinct is to get away from him or her. But sometimes it's not that simple-maybe you are raising kids together. If you feel trapped in a bad relationship, it's only natural that you will run to the open arms of a person who treats you well.

6. Revenge
This is quite simple- an eye for an eye. Cheat on them if they cheat on you. If they continuously hurt you or abuse you in some way, you do it to get them back.

7. Confirmation of Attractiveness
Sometimes when you're in a long relationship, or if your significant other is taking you for granted, you begin to wonder if you're still attractive. Perhaps, because you were out on the dating circuit, you felt more attractive when you were single. If you have an affair, you've proven that a new person can be attracted to you.

8. The Thrill
Some people just enjoy the thrill of cheating: running around secretly, risking getting caught, andcreating thrilling moments with a forbidden romance.

9. They Don't Consider It Cheating, Even Though You Might
Relationships have that grey area, usually right before you become exclusive. He thinks date #4 is when you're "together," and you think date #2 is when you're "together." If you haven't talked about exclusivity, someone may think they are well within their rights to see other people, even though the other person in the relationship may not.

I don't understand why people don't break up as soon as they have an urge to cheat. Is it natural to have temptation, or is temptation a sign that the relationship is losing its fire? What reasons would you add to this list, and do you disagree with any? If you've ever cheated, why did you do it? Could you forgive a cheater? If you are single, but seeing a person who is in a committed relationship, does that make you a cheater?

How did you like the appearance by Barack Obama's appearance on The Tonight Show?

2009-03-20T09:06:00.000-07:00

Here are what some yahoo users are saying about this particular subject, do you agree or disagree?

"I think it is disgusting you would think he was a movie star instead of a kenya imposing as an American."

By: Tired of the Crap~!

"he did very well, very reassuring performance. when bush tried to be funny he always just ended up being a dick."

By:aybabtu

"I thought his comment on his bowling skills are like the Special Olympics were disgusting, anytime you make a joke about Handicap people it is just horrible, but I am sure since all of the Idiots in our country love this moron then he will get away with saying it. Imagine if it was Bush he would have been crusified but Bush would never say that because he has too much class."

By:Matt P

"Obama is simply doing what he is told to do."

By:Panacea

"He's "just doing what he's told to?". He's the President. Who told him to go on Leno? He's addicted to the rock star status and attention he got on the campaign trail.

Regardless of my opinion of him and his policy direction for the country, I find him very fun to watch.

However, if I hear the words "I inherited this situation... yadi yadi yadi... but the buck stops here!" I will vomit. It's like a worn record.

I liked the look on his face after Leno told him that everyone throws the basketball games when they play with him. Obama hammed that up pretty good pretending like his feelings were hurt. He's a funny guy. :)"

By: Christian Hotelier

"I think it was fine. We all wanted a president concerned with Main St and it was just another way for him to show that he's open minded. I don't think he personally wants to portray a movie star. I think our over dramatic media makes far too much out of nothing, just to get a story. I also think that he meant no harm when joking about his bowling game and that was blown way out of porportion! I have special needs children that are very close to my heart and I was not offended! Once again, media makes a mountain out of a mole hill!"

What did you think of last night's episode of American Idol?

2009-03-19T14:56:00.000-07:00

Do you think American made the right choice by eliminated Alexis? How did you like the duet by Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis?

Here are what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic....

"I thought the duet was great! And I definitely am happy with America's choice! I have never, ever liked Alexis and I'm very pleased that she went home."

By: Blue Eyed Angel

"i wasnt pleased. but not super upset coz the ones i like are still in the competition.. i think the worst was michael.. she shouldnt leave.. bottom 2 maybe, but leaving? i find it so wrong.

the duet was awesome ! i think carrie was awesome and great."

By : Archie + Gossip girl!

"I was not happy with Alexis leaving the show. Last week, when they sang Michael Jackson songs, she had the best performance (IMHO), singing "Dirty Diana." She didn't do quite as well with her country song, but she was certainly not the worst. Sarver should've went home, not Alexis.

Carrie did most of the singing in the duet with Randy Travis, which I was happy about. I've never been much of a fan of Randy Travis anyways, but Carrie is awesome!"

By :Hoosier Daddy

"Heck no, America made a huge mistake. Alexis was one of the best. Michael should have gone home. He doesn't even get into his songs. He just stands up there and hardly moves.

The duet was ok. You could tell Randy hadn't sang live in a long time."

By :Jillian

"i was SHOCKED when alexis got into the bottom three, but i wasn't shocked to see her eliminated when she was up against michael sarver.
we all know this week alexis just wasn't her usual spectacular self (compare last week's dirty diana and this week's performance and you'll get what i mean) but i think most of us would agree that alexis has a world more of talent compared to michael sarver.

however, sarver's fan base is strong, consisting of people who would vote for him no matter how he is consistently average.he gets voters who like him because of the nice family guy he is, not necessarily because of his talent, or his performance each week.so knowing all that beforehand, i was very much prepared for ryan to say that alexis had the least number of votes.

as for carrie and randy, i thought it was pretty good!i don't really listen to country music, but i actually enjoyed the performance."

By :gutter_f...

"Alexis did have a great voice hands down! They are all very talented and amazing, OTHERWISE they wouldnt have made it this far! Someone has to go every week!!! So every week someone is going to complain because they are too good to leave! THEY ARE ALL GOOD PEOPLE!!!! And i'm sorry but Danny is going to win! :)

I loved Alexis at first and she seemed to really deserve to be the next American Idol... But in the last couple of episodes I have changed my mind... She got too cocky too fast. (Like Kayne West) She had no emotion ever, when Ryan asked her last night how emotional the show had been... you could tell nothing she said came from the heart, probably just a script she wrote. Go back and watch her addition, she was so sweet and spunky... and then the judges said she needed to change and she did. But she hasn't seemed very happy the last few weeks."

By :disclose...

"No, I think Alexis was the wrong choice. I think she has a lot of talent. I expected to see Michael Sarver go.

I'm not a country fan, but I did think the duet was very nice."

Did you like the country week theme?

Here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this topic....

"I don't think anybody really sounded country.I liked Anoop, Scott and Kris.Adam was the worst."

By :Melinda W

"I hated the country week theme! All my favourites dissapointed me. Adam's was.. weird."

By:Dynamite

"I'm not a big fan of country, but last night was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, I actually enjoyed some of the performances, I'm not a big fan of Adam either, but well, I'm still kinda on the fence about his performance, definitely different, lol, other than him, nobody really stood out for me though

My fave is still Danny though, I thought he did just an ok job last night though, I had a strange feeling he was going to sing that song ;)"

By : Chrys D

"ehh no!
but i thought adam did AWESOME, like every week.
and of course, so did danny.
their my favorite."

By: cutelill...

"I don't like country music so when I heard the theme for the week I was really disappointed. But a few of them did pretty well despite having to sing country."

By :beespost

"I'm not really into country, but do like some of the older things (I'm really not into anything in the last 20-25 years, frankly)

I always liked "Ring of Fire" but did not like the version last night. (Adam?) and I liked Patsy Cline's "Walking after Midnight" and had mixed emotions about the rendition. But when I found out she had the flu I was a little more understanding.

I thought Lil Rounds song was pretty good and thought the judges were down on her a little.

I haven't watched most of the Tuesday night show this year so I don't really know the names of most of the singers off hand."

By:Rubym

"Adam was the absolute worst!! he sang that song(ring of fire) like he was singing in a gay bar or a gay parade, I know he is gay but if i didn't know it that performance just proved it. he was over the top flamboyant with that song and it sounded strange I agree with simon 100% about adam's performance it was rubbish. now every time I hear ring of fire I am going to see adam in my mind makeing all those sexy poses and googly eyes Ewwww!

Lil rounds, when simon said she sounded like she was forced to sing a song she didn't like at a wedding. I was thinking well, duh. she's an R&B singer and she is forced to sing country! what part of that did you not get simon. besides how many of you know of a black female country singer?? ..heres a hint , there aren't any!"

By: dobby

"I really think Kris and Anoop were at the forefront last night. They were both very captivating. I feel really strongly that Megan should go home. She seemed only to cough last night when she wasn't singing, talking to Ryan, or mugging for the camera. I am obviously not a fan of hers, I think she ruined that Patsy Cline song she attempted to sing. I think Scott is sort of sub par as well. He sang a very girly song, which was a bad decision on his part."

By :devotion...

"I liked it and thought for the most part, it was okay. Danny and Anoop did very well especially. But overall, the worst performance hands down was Adam. Yeah, I think everyone gets the point that he's not country but of all people and songs, he butchered the legendary Johnny Cash. I never have liked him to begin with (he sounds like a girl screaming into the mike) but last night he lost all of my respect and he should go home!"

Top 5 Reasons Why Your Payday Loan Was Rejected.

2009-03-16T09:42:00.000-07:00

We all run into money problems. Payday loan is a great place to look for temporary financial help. Approval for the Payday loan can be done during the same business day as the application process, and a lot of people can receive the borrowed funds within 24 hours. The reason for that is because many Payaday loan companies do not require much personal information and they also do not run a credit check before issuing a loan. Not every application is accepted. There are occasions when an application for a payday loan is rejected. I am going to go through each one of them below

1. The applicant cannot provide evidence of employment. .Payday loans are given based on the applicant would receive enough funds from their employer to cover the loan. Once the applicant receives a pay check from their employer, he/she has to pay back the loan right away. If there is no employment can be verified, the Payday loan company cannot be sure to receive payment.

2. The applicant has filed for bankruptcy within the past year. Well, a lot of Payday loan companies do not run credit checks; however they still want to be certain that a person will be capable of fulfilling monetary obligations. Under the law, bankruptcy is basically states that a person is unable to support himself/herself financially, and most Payday loan companies believe that it takes more than one year to recover from such financial troubles.

3. The applicant has not been employed the length of time required by the particular lender. Most Payday loan companies prefer that the applicant has been at their present place of employment for at least half year. There are some Payday loan companies will do 3 month, however you will have to search for them.

4. The applicant does not meet the required monthly net income. A lot of Payday loan companies require that the applicant to have a net income of at least $1000 a month. If the applicant makes less than that, they would question the person’s ability to pay back the loan money and are hesitant to lend.

5. Last but certainly not the least, the applicant has a great deal of overdraft fees or insufficient funds charges from their financial institution. This will immediately serve as a warning to loan companies. They will assume that this person is not dependable and will not be able to pay back any loan that is given..

My advice for you is that if you apply for a payday loan and was rejected; make sure you ask for detailed information why it was rejected. It could be the reason I said above or it could be that you completed a portion of the application incorrectly, which you can correct and then reapply. However, if you find that you do not qualify for a payday loan with a particular company, take some time to research other potential lenders as many have varying requirements.

Benefit of The Gift Baskets

2009-03-16T09:39:00.000-07:00

In a year, there are many occasions which gifts baskets will come into play. Birthday, graduation, weddings, or what have you. If you run into gift idea problems then gift baskets are the perfect solution.

Another great feature about gift baskets is that unlike other gifts whoever you give the gift basket to they won’t just be receiving one specific present, but rather several small ones at a time.

On top of that, a birthday gift basket are suited for both sexes; female or male. This idea can be considered as an original and unique. People will think that you put a lot of thoughts into it.

My advice for you is that don’t keep buy birthday greeting cards for someone over and over if you find buy a gift for that person is really difficult. Eventually they will get sick and tired of getting greeting cards. You can show how much you care or love them, by getting them a small birthday gift basket. It doesn’t have to be very expensive. This will eliminate the heartache that comes with shopping for that particular someone.

Well it may sound really strange however gift baskets can be very fun to pick out. The gift baskets can also be colorful and very decorative, and can have loads of items inside. Are you the type of person who hates having to mess with tape, wrapping paper, and scissors then getting a gift basket wouldn’t be a bad idea. Most of the all, you’ll never have to wrap anything .

I am sure there are many other benefits for giving away a gift basket. Those above are just some ideas which you can use. Be creative and have fun.

In Canada and in most of US states, there is no Capital Punishment. Should that be introduced? Why or why not?

2009-03-13T11:06:00.000-07:00

In my own opinion, I truly believe the saying if you can't do the time don't do the crime. I am definitely for capital punishment in Canada even though there is none. There has to be a severe punishment for severe crime. You just can't take a life or two without being punished. However with that said, a criminal lawyer has to prove beyond the shadow of the doubt that particular person did commit that horrify crime and deserve the capital punishment Or else he might be executing an innocent man.

Here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic....

"We absolutely need Capital Punishment.

If fear for your own life doesn't keep you from hurting someone else, what will?

And, if it really isn't a deterrent, at least it means that that person won't ever hurt anyone again, doesn't it?"

By :ItsMe

"Today's society is very violent. I think it's important to let people know there ARE SEVERE consequences for their selfish, ridiculous, actions.

People will tell you "they deserve their life, too".. No, they gave it up when they took someone else's, or destroyed a young child's because they couldn't keep their hands off.. People aren't scared of jail time anymore. They do their time, leave and commit more crimes. It's ridiculous."

5 Facts About Friday the 13th

2009-03-13T05:02:00.000-07:00

Here is an article about Friday The 13th which I found in Yahoo. I truly believe a lot of people are going to find this article pretty interesting.

LiveScience Staff

livescience.com – Thu Mar 12, 12:30 pm ET

If Friday the 13th is unlucky, then 2009 is an unusually unlucky year. This week's Friday the 13th is one of three to endure this year.

The first came last month. The next is in November. Such a rare triple-threat occurs only once every 11 years.

The origin of the link between bad luck and Friday the 13th is murky. The whole thing might date to Biblical times (the 13th guest at the Last Supper betrayed Jesus). By the Middle Ages, both Friday and 13 were considered bearers of bad fortune. In modern times, the superstition permeates society.

Here are five of our favorite Friday-the-13th facts:

1. Fear of Friday the 13th - one of the most popular myths in science - is called paraskavedekatriaphobia as well as friggatriskaidekaphobia. Triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13.

2. Many hospitals have no room 13, while some tall buildings skip the 13th floor and some airline terminals omit Gate 13.

3. President Franklin D. Roosevelt would not travel on the 13th day of any month and would never host 13 guests at a meal. Napoleon and President Herbert Hoover were also triskaidekaphobic, with an abnormal fear of the number 13.

4. Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. "It was bad luck," Twain later told the friend. "They only had food for 12." Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme, or professional 14th guest.

5. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, according to numerologists who consider the latter to be a complete number - 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 days of Christmas and 12 eggs in a dozen.

Pythagorean legacy

Meanwhile the belief that numbers are connected to life and physical things - called numerology - has a long history.

"You can trace it all the way from the followers of Pythagoras, whose maxim to describe the universe was 'all is number,'" says Mario Livio, an astrophysicist and author of "The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved" (Simon & Schuster, 2005). Thinkers who studied under the famous Greek mathematician combined numbers in different ways to explain everything around them, Livio said.

In modern times, numerology has become a type of para-science, much like the meaningless predictions of astrology, scientists say.

"People are subconsciously drawn towards specific numbers because they know that they need the experiences, attributes or lessons associated with them, that are contained within their potential," says professional numerologist Sonia Ducie. "Numerology can 'make sense' of an individual's life (health, career, relationships, situations and issues) by recognizing which number cycle they are in, and by giving them clarity."

However, mathematicians dismiss numerology, saying it lacks any scientific merit.

"I don't endorse this at all," Livio said, when asked to comment on the popularity of commercial numerology. Seemingly coincidental connections between numbers will always appear if you look hard enough, he said.

How To Find Cheap Airline Tickets When You Travel

2009-03-12T05:54:00.000-07:00

Before you go on any vacation or travel anywhere in the world, if you want to save money you should really consider doing some homework before you go. Below are some of the ways that you can save money on find cheap airline tickets.

Do your research on the internet, call airline booking agencies and watch the news programs to keep yourself up to date on discounts. There are a lot of promotional fares offered by different airline companies that are new in the industry. Compare prices between different websites.

When you are a frequent traveler maybe you should consider signing up for frequent flier miles. You could one day travel for absolutely FREE when you accumulate enough frequent flier miles.

Are you a senior or is there a senior going to be traveling with you? Maybe you should call the traveling agencies about senior discount. Maybe you can do the same thing if you are a student. Some airlines give discount to students.

It is a good idea to keep a flexible travel schedule. Roll with the punches. I mean if there is a promotion states that they only give discounts every Tuesdays like the movie theatres, maybe you should book your airline tickets on Tuesday. Did you know that, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are the days that have fewer reservations therefore on these days that tickets are sold cheap. Monday is usually the busiest day of the week because it is a first of the working schedule for most people. Try not to book on Monday.

One thing I recommend not to do is make reservations to the first airline company you see with a promotion of some sort. You should consider taking your time be patient and find out if the promotion is indeed the cheapest in your area. Ask the agency clerk about other offers available. When search on line, make sure you check at least five sites before you decide where to buy your tickets.

Another place that you can purchase cheap airline tickets is through consolidators. If you don’t know then these are people who buy a lot of tickets at huge discount from the airline companies and resell them at whole sale prices. This helps the airline fill up still available seats. The good place to check for this is the travel section of the newspaper.

If you can avoid, try not to book on off peak hours schedule. Most likely if you book before seven in the morning flight or book the after seven in the evening flight, airline tickets are at their cheapest. This too, will be a wise decision since it is at these times that airlines are not overcrowded, thus getting more space for yourself and your luggage.

Remember always ask the airline ticket agent if that particular airline offers bonus traveling packages. Some airlines do offer packages such as car rental discount or a hotel room discount that comes with the airplane ticket.

Always consider book air tickets ahead of time. Discounts are usually offered to someone who reserves airline ticket three weeks or earlier beforehand. Don’t forget due to over crowding during the holidays, you may not use your frequent flier miles. Therefore it is a good idea to book in advance if you plan to travel during the holidays.

One final thought, staying with only one airline on your entire trip may too, give you discounts. Airlines offer special rates to round trip tickets or connecting flights.

I hope these advices helped you in finding cheap air fare. Enjoy your trip.

What do you think of Last night's American Idol?

2009-03-12T05:35:00.000-07:00

Please specify how did you like the new rules ? Do you think American made the right choice by eliminate Jasmine Murry and Jorge Nunez ? Please specify with details. Thanks

For me personally, I really enjoyed watching last night's American Idol. I didn't think Jasmine should have eliminated, but America made the right choice with Jorge. With that said, I guess somebody had to leave in order to have the ultimate idol. As for the rule change, I think it is pretty good rule. That way an artist like Chris Doltry will not get eliminated in the future.

That is just my opinion, here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular subject.

"he new rules are stupid. Especially the one about saving a person. Then it turns out that people's vote really don't count, what about the people who pay for their calls/text? It's America's choice, not the judges. Idk what's up with all these crazy new rules... if it ain't broken,, DON"T FIX IT.

Also I think the right people went home. Jasmine was a good singer but not a great entertainer... pretty boring and bland.

Jorge. Eh."

"I like the new rules. If only they made it last year, so Michael Johns and Carly Smithson could have been saved.
I'm kind of disappointed about Jasmine, I liked her. But if I had to choose two people to go home, it would have been those two."

By :esenjay3...

"the new rule is ok i sorta don't understand it
they should do it like rockstar supernova where america votes then who ever is in the bottom 3 have to sing and the judges vote who is out. The judges don't even do anything they just sit there. If there gunna ever use the save thingy they should use it on adam if he gets the lowest votes, he's so good :) yer the right people are gone there's only really 1 good singer (adam) and i guess you can say lil and danny are good but thats it"

By :Charlie :D

"the new rules are good, the judges love lil rounds, danny gorkey and adam, if either one of those people should go home before the final 5 they will be saved because those three are clearly the judges favorites. so they are saving that one vote for either one of those three. i wish people would stop saying adam is going to win. last year I thought melinda doolittle would win she was perfect the entire year and she came in third. now she is with Itunes. so he may be good but that doesn't mean he will win. and that is what this new rule is for, so he won't get voted out too early. but I like it better if the judges picked three to leave and then let the viewers vote from that three who will be going home."

By :dobby

"i did think jasmine had to go but jorge i think he deserved another chance but simon said flat out no....."

By:pattie j

"I think the new rule could be looked at one of two ways, or even both ways:

1) The producers are giving themselves more of a say in who stays in the competition. In my opinion, this is just the first step they will take to give themselves more control over results than the fans.

2) This keeps the public interested. For instance, you never know whether the person's really gone or not until the judges give the final say.

And, granted, they can only do so once, but it seems to me like just the beginning of the producers' schemes.

Yes, I think Jasmine and Jorge had to go. Although they both deserved their spots in the top 13, the competition really isn't suited to either of them - neither one had much of a personality, for starters. But anyways, I would have liked to see Megan leave, as she just gets on my nerves, but I guess I'm satisfied."

By:Blue Eyed Angel

"I think the new rule was needed because America has gotten it wrong in a lot of instances. The major ones being Daugthry, Doolittle, Carly, and Michael Johns voted out before others who shouldn't even be there anymore. Once AI got really popular a few years back America, in general, became a "lets screw with the system and vote the worst or nicest" and not necessarily the best singer. For me Taylor Hicks winning showcases this attitude.

I loved Jasmine but she hasn't shown her bubbly 17 yr old personality. She's been picking downer songs and I think this hurt her.

As for Jorge....I never liked him and felt he shouldn't have been in the Top 13, so for me this one was a no brainer and long overdue."

By :csscmom -- Mom of 4

"It was only right for them to eliminate Jasmine Murray and Jorge Nuñez. Anoop wasn't as bad as the other two.

Allison was IMPRESSIVE!
Alexis Grace was AWESOME!
Adam Lambert was BRILLIANT!
Lil Rounds started the night right!

The new rules are cool. They give hope for the BETTER singers. :)"

By :Aid B.

"I found a spoiler beforehand and already knew the surprise rule. I like the rule itself, but I think it's annoying how they're going to ask the judges to deliberate EVERY SINGLE TIME someone gets voted off. I think they should either just speak up if they want to choose them to save, or let it go. Not drag it out over every contestant. It really was an extra jab for them not just to get voted off -- but for the judges to say, nope, you're terrible, bye-bye.
I do agree in Jorge and Jasmine going. I would've sent Anoop packing, too -- made it for 3. But I guess we have to wait till next week till he goes. Ugh. Can you tell I'm not so excited about this season?

Oh, and how they were talking about Chris Daughtry could've been saved -- not true -- not according to this rule as they set it -- they'd only be able to save up to the top 5. Chris was voted off when it was top 4."

By : Fauna

"Jorge and jasmine---I am not surprised they got booted. They are good just to make it in the top 13, but not good enough to stay longer. I think anoop will go pretty soon.we'll see...
The rule--I have mixed feelings about it. Its not up to the people.The judges get the final say. But, maybe they should. The people could make a not so good vote and the judges could make a save. Oh well, it doesn't matter whether you like the rule or not...it is still gonna be used."

By :kelliegi...

"I don't know what the big deal about Adam is. I don't think he's really that great. The style he sings is weird, and he dresses weird. But I am 29 so I guess that's what the young kids are into these days. lol! Anyway I was sad to see Jorge go, but I have no doubt in my mind that he will be a successful singer in his native language. I don't really know who my favorite is now."

By :its me

"I like the new rule. I am at least going to wait and see if it brings back my favorite :) Sometimes you have voting b/c of popularity rather than the best singers. We have all been stunned when certain people go home.

It's interesting b/c they have only the one save and all four judges all have to agree. It will be hard to get those four to agree on someone to save. I can see Paula wanting to save everyone but the others will know they need to save the "save" for a stunning elimination week.

They also have a time frame in which they have to use it.

I kinda wish they had given each judge one save. Then the next week if it was really meant to be then that person wouldn't be one of the two that gets eliminated.

When you have to sing certain bands/singers sometimes it's hard. You don't know the music or the singers and make bad choices thats not fair. I don't expect Reuben or Bo Bice to be know a lot about Country or some of these younger contestests to know about IDK Barry Manilow or Rod Stewart. It gives them a chance to have a bad week and still move on. Having one bad week overall doesn't mean they should leave. If they have more talent than the others who just happen to be more popular.

Jasmine --as cute and all as she was, she is very young and I think a bit overwhelmed by it all. I hope she does well and continues on her journey. She has a lot of talent

Jorge --I really liked him. I was hoping to see him get a bit further but we don't have a lot of Latin pop singers...yes Salina was very hot, Marc Anthony is doing well even Jennifer Lopez and Gloria Estefan (I know I spelled that wrong) but in the grand scheme of things they are few and far between. One of the reasons I like him was because he had a different sound to his voice.

I agree with the person who said they shouldn't have dragged it out over each contestant. That is just more hurtful."

By :Sarelda

"As much as I like Anoop, he should've gone home last night. Both Jorge and Jasmine would've gone home sooner or later anyway, but they both could've stayed another week.

I LOVE the new rule, but as my BFF pointed out (and he's probably right), the judges will never use that veto unless Danny or Adam are in danger. Everybody else can pretty much hang it up."

What do you think of last night's American Idol?

2009-03-11T09:19:00.000-07:00

Who do you think or should get eliminated by the American people? What do you think Ryan Seacrest meant by saying there is going to a "change in the rule which could alter the face of the competition" ? Any opinion ?

Here what are some Yahoo users saying about this particular topic...

"i think a previous idol (like Carrie Underwood) will voice an opinion/judge"

By :Murzy

"I enjoyed last nights show. Adam rocked the house. The Rockin Robin performance was fun, not my fav but fun.
I think that they will have guest judges like past winners come on and say what they think."

By :Kimberly

"i loved Matt's performance!!!
i was thinking that maybe the judges may have a vote that they split with america (kinda like dwts)
i think jorge or anoop should go ....... i liked anoop at first but not so much now"

Can anybody tell me exactly what I have to do to get more views of my Youtube video?

2009-03-10T15:12:00.000-07:00

I recently created a video and I uploaded to Youtube, however I only got 7 views. Therefore my question is how exactly do I get more views? Please help. Thanks

Here are what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic....

"i dont know like share it with people and ask people to share them too
(share them at youtube and other sites like myspace,facebook,bebo or friendster"

By: slipknot...

"The chance of your video being an instant hit are probably less than being struck by lightning. Just keep uploading videos over a wide range of subjects. Eventually someone will stumble on your video, like it, and subscribe to you because they like your other stuff too.

They may send it to their friends, or watch your other videos. Eventually the bandwagon will get rolling and you'll be getting a steady stream of views and subscribers."

By : mdawgig

"advertise it! tell all of your friends! and if its good, they will tell their friends, and then those friends will tell their friends, and so on and so forth. also, check and see if it is good. view it yourself! it is good....or is it just a totally jank film? and check other peoples' opinions! they will tell you if it is good or not!"

By :Kathy

"Put the link to it on this question
I'll watch it...Happily"

By: >o_OStarry Eyed>VandazZ

"put the link up so people click, such as putting a follow up message to this question. also if you have a myspace or facebook put it up on your status and people will see it. Aim or any instan messager put it in your pro that should help you get some. then if its good hopefully the word will travel of how good it is and more people will watch it, because of others telling them its a good video."

Do you think firing of head coach Guy Carbonneau by the Montreal Canadians was a good move? why or why not?

2009-03-10T06:15:00.000-07:00

The Montreal Canadiens dismissed head coach Guy Carbonneau on Monday, two-thirds of the way through his third season. Executive Vice President and General Manager Bob Gainey will coach the Canadiens for the rest of this season. Do you think this is the right move by the Montreal Canadians hockey club? why or why not?

Here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic...

"The Habs are heading int he opposite direction right now. Their star players (*cough* Kovalev *cough*) aren't performing and the coaching is overusing players and tiring the team down. A coaching change is the best for the Habs, especially with all this pressure on their 100th anniversary to do good. Heck, before the season they were Stanley Cup favorites, now they are just a loss or 2 from falling out of the playoff race completely. I guess we'll hafta wait and see what happens down the home stretch now."

By :redsox_w...

"This late in the season? Bad move. Sounds like they are throwing in the towel."

By :Jason B

"Terrible move. The message you send the players by firing the coach this late in the season is either "We pack it in" or "STEP IT UP"...most of the time this backfires and the team goes down the tubes. This (from the outside) doesn't seem like a positive...the last months or so the team has been in ruins."

By :SPACEBOY

"Very good move. The Habs need a kick in the butt right now and I was never a Carbonneau fan to begin with. I don't think he had his players focus or respect. Go Habs Go"

By: The Crow

"This is a move that had to pain Gainey greatly. He and Carbonneau have been friends since the early 1980s, playing together with the Canadiens until Gainey's retirement in 1989, then working together in Dallas with the Stars when Gainey was that club's general manager — up to Carbonneau's hiring by Gainey, first as an assistant coach in 2005-06 and then taking over as head coach in 2006-07.

Carbonneau would receive a nomination as NHL Coach of the Year, guiding the Habs to a first overall finish in the Eastern Conference in 2007-08.

Expectations were high for the Canadiens this season. The team was celebrating its centennial and many experts (including yours truly) not only saw the Canadiens as having the potential to finish atop the East again, but also as legitimate Stanley Cup contenders.

Unfortunately, the season hasn't panned out as expected for the Canadiens and their demanding fan base. Following a strong start to the season in which the club was fourth overall in the conference by the All-Star break, the Canadiens have struggled through an 8-11-1 record in their last 20 games.

It does suck seeing Guy Carbonneau gone.... but he did struggle a bit after the all star break and i think it was a good move."

What do you think of last night's premier of Dancing With The Stars?

2009-03-10T06:05:00.000-07:00

Here are what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic...

"I hate to say this because I like the show, but it was pretty boring. I don't think anyone was exceptional."

By :leslie

"It was what I expected. I happen to be addicted to that show every season anyway. I really liked Steve O and Ty Murray for the men. For the women Shawn Johnson was good."

By :Lisa T (Stop BSL)

"I loved it. I think it's great that Melissa gets to do the show. I'm sure she'll be really popular. Some people surprised me. It will be interesting to see who goes home next week.

My favs are:
Melissa (with Tony)
Gilles (with Cheryl)
Shawn (with Mark)

For the pros, I love Chelsie and Max, but unfortunately they don't have great partners this season."

By :dream

"well mellisa getting on the show ruined it for me :("

By :ohiomomm...

"I love that show, Max by the way is dancing with Denise Richards who is a real cry baby"

By :boo hoo

"not nearly as good as last years group. My favorites were Melissa and Giles. I think Steve Wozniak and Ty should be the first ones to go, they were painful to watch"

By :Julie V

"I think they all dance well I was impressed by Holly and Melissa because they both had a short time to learn the dance and performed it"

By :ephstige...

"It was not as good as the years past. There are only a few people who really danced well. The show is becoming way too provocative for family viewing now. Everything has a sexual connotation to it, which would be OK for 10 PM - but 8 PM is a bit early for that. I was sad to see Nancy O'Dell had hurt herself. I think she would have done great."

By: kincaid1

"I think Melissa did incredibly well for only two days training and the kind of week she’s been having. I think America DOES feel sorry for her the way Jason treated her, but if she doesn't do well,. they wont continue to vote for her to the end.
I'm sure her Dallas Cowboy Cheer leading training helped her pick up routines quickly. They do have very high standards. She also had ballet training which always is a plus.

I am rooting for her
Holly from "gossip Girls" the other last minute replacement, may be pretty, and maybe she didn't have a lot of practice time for the show, But, she was stiff and wooden. It seems often these really pretty girls,. (Like Kim Kardashian) have what it takes in the looks department but don't know how to use their bodies in a dancing routine. I look for her to be one of the first voted off the show.

I hate to say it but Holly seems like a typical "bimbo" to me as well.

Its early yet,. But I felt sorry a bit for Ty,. he was so stiff,. and awkward,,
Steve O did ok. but don't like his personality,.
Steve from Apple? well he knows he's not that great,. but he has a bizillion dollars so he’s just in it for fun.
Lil’ Kim.. maybe,. has potential.
Belinda Carlise? so-so, she doesn't have the energy you need to win,. and probably not the fan base.
Lawrence? athletes can go either way. sometimes though they start off badly and get better with time.
Gilles?.. we will see,. Cheryl is a good teacher. he might do ok.
David Grier? did alright.. not bad. could improve
I hated Denise Richards. that crying scene this early in the show, says she cant take the pressure. and I don’t think fans are that crazy about her either. her crybaby act turned me off right then and there. Maks is tough.. but he's good.
Shawn is also a cutie,. And I think her training as a gymnast will help her go far"

Drop 2 dress sizes in 2 months?

2009-03-10T05:11:00.000-07:00

i know it would be hard but is it possible to lose 2 dress sizes in 2 months with a lot of exercise and healthy eating could it be done?

*Note* Somebody in Yahoo asked this question and I believe the answers some Yahoo user give are really informative.

"if u get a proper answer to this please let me no i really struggling with my wait and moveing to spain in 2months i dont want everyone to theink a wale was washed to shore when i arrive at the beach"

By :babydoll

"well u could go on losing 2 stone which would be 3 and half pounds a week i reckon so :)"

By :pinkjolo...

"eat lots of tuna salad
get some curry powder and lentils pile them into cold water and wait until they are soft blend into soup.
cereal

exercise

also if you get hungry clean your teeth use plenty of mouth wash, makes food taste horrible for a few hours."

By :MeMe

"I don't know what exactly is 2 dress sizes. well if you do it the right way you'll get very close."

By :zzzzzzzz...

"It can be done - it depends on what size you are now (the bigger you are, the higher your basal metabolic rate, therefore the more calories you burn even at rest) and how much you HAVE to have unhealthy stuff (like chocolate every once in a while etc)

Don't be tempted with faddy diets - they don't work, and end up making you much fatter in the long run. You need to eat healthy foods and a balanced diet. Make sure you are eating enough - if you aren't your body goes into starvation mode and stores more fat. Do exercise as well, but in moderation,. You need to work your way up if you are not already very fit.

Remember, do it safely. You only get one body."

By :lilybell...

"“Lose 10 pounds in a week!”
“Lose 20 pounds in 20 days!”
“Lose 50 pounds by fairy dust!”

You have seen all the ads … all promising to help you lose weight instantly.

While some may work, many don’t. Sure, you can lose weight quick and many times you will, BUT…what they don’t tell you is that many times that rapid weight loss is water weight. AND IT WILL RETURN!

So, what we have to do is set realistic and achievable goals.

Remember our “One Pound at A Time” philosophy mentioned in the beginning?

That is our immediate goal. Start with ONE POUND! Then another and another, etc. Pretty soon, you will be reaching your goals and starting to feel and see the changes happening.

Once you have been successful with your smaller, short-term goals, start setting a little bit longer-term goals. “Today is Monday, July 9th. I will lose 5 pounds by July 31st.” That is not only reasonable, but achievable!

Think of this: if you set a goal of 5 pounds each month that is a total of 60 POUNDS in a year.

Stick to your goals the best you can. If you find that your goals are not becoming a reality, scale them back. Make them achievable, because that is a key ingredient to your successful Journey!"

By :Isa

"Exercising helped me to lose loads of weight after I married it together it along with using acai berry. I know they say that pills will not work, however they certainly worked for me, and they have been featured on the Rachael Ray Show too. There's a free trial on currently at http://sicavs.bosziplaza.com , why not check it out, what is the worst that could happen?"

By :Gage T

"yes you can do anything you put your mind to! weight watchers is a good healthy way to lose weight or the special k diet claims you can drop a jean size in two weeks that would be a great kickstart!
you should use some sort of eating plan as its often hard to make the right choices and sometimes you think your being healthy but foods contain hidden fats.
in weight watchers for example a banana is higher in points than some crisps!
good luck"

What is your opinion on Beijing's 2008 Summer Olympics?

2009-03-10T04:17:00.000-07:00

Well in my own opinion,it was well organized from the open ceremony until the close ceremony. Everything looked really glamorous. Every venue was well hosted. Micheal Phelps broke the Olympic records in Beijing you can never change that. Beijing itself broke the record, it is the most expensive Olympic. The next Olympic is going to be held in Vancouver Canada. It is going to be the Winter Olympic. The next summer Olympic is going to be held in London English. Let's see if these countries can top Beijing Olympic in 2008.

Here is what some Yahoo users said about this particular topic....

"The opening dances, performances, etc. were so tight and clean and the images and appearances told us a lot about the Beijing culture and heritage and how disciplined everybody is when others are around. But now all the facilities and the whole city is going to shi*."

Do you think US should ban smoking in public areas?

2009-03-09T04:20:00.000-07:00

In Ontario Canada, it is now illegal to smoke in the public places, like restaurants,movie theaters,malls ow what have you. Should US copy this idea? Why or why not?

Before I get into what some Yahoo saying about this topic. Here is my opinion on it. Well, I guess there is two sides to every story. Well the side who wants the ban mainly because they are sick and tired of inhaling second hand smoke. A lot of people get really sick or even killed from second hand smoke every year. The side who does not want the ban, mainly because they feel people should have to right to smoke where ever they like.

However with that said, I guess I am kind of bias since I am a non-smoker. I am for the ban instead of against.

Here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this topic, do you agree or disagree?

"Yes, if people smoke, thats their problem, but when they smoke in public, they subject other people to toxic chemicals"

By:brennanp...

"No. Its not in the Constitution.

IMO, It should be left up to the property owner.
If you want the government to control it, at least leave it up to the local municipality."

By:ALL

"Its already illegal in most of the USA to smoke in any of those places.. And yes I think its a good thing. I should be illegal to smoke in any public place inside or out. As well as in apartment buildings, yes the smoke does come through the vents I have had it happen. Its a gross habit that not only kills the smoker, but kills the people around them. If a smoker wants to commit slow suicide then thats their choice, but they shouldn't have the right to do it to other people"

By:bluesky on a cloudy day

"public is public, people drive cars in public companies pollute the public, why cant people smoke? im tired of non-smokers imposing their will on us smokers. i dont lobby for the abolition of alcohol cause i dont drink. there are more people dying of stds in the world than they are of second hand smoke. do i try to fight that? if you dont like my smoke, then move up wind. if you dont want me to smoke too bad, i dont want people drinking, driving and killing my cousin but they do.
people need to reflect on their own disgressions before they try to fix others"

By:tooclear...

"people can get used to it. second hand smoke is smelly. i would favor the ban."

9 Things That Will Hurt Your Credit Score?

2009-03-09T01:43:00.000-07:00

Your credit score, a three-digit number that are ranging from 300 to 850 points, plays a significant role in our day to day life It lets potential lenders how well we can manage our finances. Below are nine things that can affect your credit score. Please pay close attention to it.

Missed payments

Ignoring your bills is much worse than paying late. Try not to stick your head in the sand and make the situation worse than it already is. After about six missed payments lenders typically charge your account off. This account status is one of the worst items on your credit report.

Late payments

Your payment history tends to be very important in the calculation of your credit score. If you don't fulfill your financial obligations on time, you may lose 100-200 points. It is important to make timely payments to maintain a positive rating.

Heavy debt

Credit bureaus calculate the ratio between your balance and available credit. If you borrow too much, the percentage of debt/available credit (also called utilization ratio) goes up. It will hurt your credit score. Always try to keep your debt lower than 30% of your spending limit.

Collection agencies

If you don't eliminate your debt, lenders can hire third-party agencies to collect payment from you. The name of the collection agency and the amount of money you owe will be listed in the report. Avoid these call whenever you can.
It will show that you are a high risk customer.

Cancelling old accounts

Fifteen percent of your credit score is determined by the length of your credit history. If you close your old accounts, you shorten your credit history.
Closing cards with available credit
When you cancel your card, the amount of available credit reduces, but your debt remains the same. Thus you increase your utilization ratio. That is not good for your credit score.

Declaring bankruptcy

Bankruptcy can put your credit score down into the lowest ranking. You will need to work hard to re-establish good rating. Look for alternative solutions to eliminate your debt. You can consult with a credit counselor or a debt relief agency.

Numerous inquiries

Applying several credit card applications within a short period of time will damage your credit score. The creditors can suggest that you are in a serious financial trouble. Don't apply for any plastic that captures your attention!
Having credit cards only
Your credit report reflects what types of credit you have had: credit cards, charge cards, retail accounts, and installment loans. It is advisable to have a healthy mix of credit to make your credit score higher.

What do you think Melissa Rycroft should do next?

After Jason Mesnick chose Molly over her?

Here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic...

"get her life back together. which she did. haven you heard shes seeing someone now."

By :Archie + Gossip girl!

"Hold her head high, live her life and be happy she didn't marry the fickle dweeb..
She's a great girl - has a supportive family and as she said on the Ellen Show - she has a new b/f.

She has moved on."

By :what's up?

"Melissa is back with a guy she used to date. SHe should keep a low profile and move on and hopefully get some normalcy back in her life. She's been in the limelight long enough."

By :leslie

"she should have already hired an agent and shop her name around for a hosting gig on a tv show unless she wants to act. she needs to get with it though because the fifteen minutes are ticking . she should be capable of being a long term success but she needs to get out there while she still public. she has the fifteen minutes of fame from the show now she needs to do something with it"

By :Tom R

"Defiantly stay away from the media > They can and will make her life miserable . I HATE Jason and how he humiliated her and hope Jason & Molly breaks up. She's way too good for him.

Melissa needs to keep her head and spirits high and start life without The Bachelor hanging over her head."

By :WHO am I ?? and why am I here ?

"Melissa Rycroft is a great girl with many things to lie ahead of her.I think she should become a teacher since she really loves kids. I also think she should just move on with her life and try to forget the betrayal even thought it's hard. Like Mel even said, people who betray you like that isn't worth being friends with. Rumor has it that she is replacing Nancy O'Dell's spot on Dancing With the Stars."

By :xoazncut...

"hope fully fall in love with a good guy she was my favorite"

By : cats and dogs

"Melissa is already doing things after her televised breakup with Jason. She is dating an old boyfriend, whom she has been on and off with and is joining Dancing With the Stars."

By : Lina

"Jilted by Jason Mesnick on the season finale of The Bachelor, Melissa Rycroft will rebound nicely — on Dancing With the Stars, PEOPLE has learned.

Rycroft, 25, is to fill the slot vacated by Access Hollywood host Nancy O’Dell, who had to withdraw from the competition on March 5 due to a knee injury. According to a source close to the production, the Dallas beauty, who has had only days to rehearse, is expected to perform live on Dancing’s Monday premiere.

Girl Next Door Holly Madison is believed to be taking over for singer Jewel, who also withdrew due to injury. Both Jewel and O’Dell have expressed their desire to return to the ballroom in the future.

2009-03-08T04:51:00.000-07:00

Hello, I hope everybody remembered to set their clocks or their watched ahead an hour here in the Eastern Canada region.

This year is very strange. This year we begin Daylight Savings a month earlier. I have been in Canada for quite awhile now. If my memory serves me correct, the Daylight Savings always begin in the first weekend of April. I don't know why this year it happened a month earlier????!?!?!?

2009-03-08T04:01:00.000-07:00

Earlier today today, I was surfing on the internet, I came across Kimberly Kardashian's name. I did a little bit research on line. I was surprised to know she was the daughter of O.J. Simpson's Trial lawyer, Robert Kardashian.

A brief overview of Kimberly Kardashian. She was born on October 21, 1980 in Los Angeles, California.Her family was financially sound. Therefore she attended the best schools, ate at the best restaurant and wore the latest fashion.

Kimberly Kathleen Kardashian was born October 21, 1980, in Los Angeles, California. The daughter of O.J. Simpson’s trial lawyer, Robert Kardashian, she and her siblings grew up in a world of immense privilege. They attended the best schools, they ate at the finest restaurants and they wore the latest designer fashions.

Sin City's Carla Gugino

2009-03-07T07:21:00.000-08:00

Sin City’s Carla Gugino is one of my favorite actress is Carla Gugino. I became a fan of her after I watched the movie Our Lady Of Victory last year. This movie was set in 1972 and it as based on the true story of the “Mighty Macs” of Immaculata University winning the first national championship in women's basketball.

A little about Carla Gugino. According to my research, Carla was born in Sarasota, Florida. When she turned 5 years old she moved to Paradise, California with her mother. She moved places to places when she was little. That did not affect her grade. She remained an “A” student through out the high school years and graduated as valedictorian. She was discovered by a major model agency in San Diego and they sent her to New York to begin a new career when she was only 15 years old. Carla Gugino found New York was too much she could handle therefore she returned to LA in the summer. Once again she pursued an career as a model. After that she enrolled in an acting class after listening to her aunt.

What is your home remedy for common cold?

Here is what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic.

"Mom's homemade chicken noodle soup and rest...
a cold has to run it's course the only thing you can do is take over the counter cold meds to alleviate your symptoms and get rest."

By : sexy steeler's fan

"Honey & Lemon:

1/2 cup of hot water
1 teaspoon honey (a natural antioxident)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (a natural antiseptic)
1 teaspoon of vinegar (another antiseptic)
1 teaspoon of butter. (to soothe a sore throat)

Mix all together and drink as hot as you can stand it. Each ingredient has seperate properties (in parentheses). It isn't the greatest tasting thing in the world, but it isnt as bad as it sounds, and it makes you feel a lot better! You can have it as many times a day as you like too."

By :lilybell...

"I treat JUST THE SYMPTOMS that are present....and nothing else.
Being ABLE to sleep is very important, push the fluids and eat best you can.
Doc always told me give it 10 days from onset to run its' course, then if it keeps lingering at a pace where it seems not to be getting better then come see him.
Also, sore and red throats usually with a "Cold" are drainage and an antihistamine and warm salty water gargled takes care of this.
Take a flash light yourself and a mirror or another persons help, and IF you see NO SPOTS on your tonsils or back of throat that usually means seeing a doctor is worthless too. Colds are a virus. Spots indicate INFECTION by a bad bacteria like Strep or possibly Staph. Then seek immediate treatment.
A fever of 1-2 degrees I try not to treat as this IS your bodies natural defense engaging and you "feel bad" but actually will get over the cold quicker if you can tolerate some fever. That's how your body destroys enemies, with a little heat.
Folks are "quick" to treat a low grade fever, and they remain sick longer. That IS A FACT."

The right way to audition for either Canadian Idol or American Idol.

2009-03-06T10:21:00.001-08:00

We all want that instant fame. We want the fame that Jennifer Hudson, Paris Bennet, Carrie Underwood and other past American Idol got. However do we really have the talent to get it? Well, I have been watching both Canadian Idol and American Idol since it first came on the air. I kept asking myself, why would so many people embarrass themselves on the national television for? Why a lot of people were devastated when they did not get the golden ticket. I mean if the judges thought a particular person was not a good singer then obviously they were right. They had been in the music industry for long periods of time; they knew exactly what they were saying. People should not take their criticism to heart. If the judge said they didn’t have the ability to be a good singer then don’t fight them on it. Just let it be. Maybe you have talents to do other stuff.

My recommendation is that, before someone goes to the Canadian Idol or American Idol audition they should host a singing party and invite their close friends over. Try to sing a few songs for them. Ask them to be as honest as possible. They should also ask their friends that if they have enough talent to make it to the final 34 or whatever the number is when the Canadian or American people start to make the decision. If the judges didn’t eliminate them then Canadian/American people would.

Please keep in mind, Canadian/American Idol is a singing competition; people are going to competing with the best of the best national wide. I mean if you are really cocky, ignorant and you think you are the best; then I hate to tell you this but I am sure you are not. I am sure there is someone in the country that is just that much better than you. If you don’t have the talent to compete with the best of the best, then don’t go to the audition and embarrass yourself on national television.

Think about it, can you really compete with the stars like Jennifer Hudson, Paris Bennet, Carrie Underwood etc. They sure didn’t embarrass themselves. They definitely have the talents.

I guess every cloud have its silver lining. The show would be really boring if they did not show any bad singers. However with that said, I just hate looking at no talent people who embarrass themselves on national television.

How do you define a truly successful relationship?

2009-03-06T10:13:00.000-08:00

Here are what some Yahoo users are saying about this topic.....

"I think a really succesful relationship just means that they won't cheat on each other."

By :Angela T.

"Everyday you do things to make the other person happy. Thats why me and my guy are so happy."

By :openmind...

"You need honesty and trust. Without that your relationship will never last. If either one of one breaks it it's like your relationship is over. You may try to work it out but it's almost in possible and it a rough road to hoe if you do because in the back of your mind you think are they telling me the truth or should I believe them, etc. Without trust and honesty you have nothing."

What do you think Chris Brown's sentencing?

2009-03-06T04:04:00.000-08:00

Do you think he got what he deserved? Or should the punishment be more severe? why or why not. Please comment. Thanks

Here are what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic

"more severe, no man should ever treat any woman, they way he treated Rihanna. she had bruises all over her face to poor girl."

By :Mary Cherry

"arent him and rihanna back together, cuz if thats the case , i dont think he should be sentenced at all."

By :darvosix

"i think the punishment should have been worse, that he should have been forced to listen to his own music for 10 Min's. I know im a cruel person but what he did was awful."

By :Shane

"Chris is a real He-Man isn't he? Pounding a person much smaller and weaker in the face repeatedly.

And she, in typical battered/abused woman fashion, goes crawling back to him.

He should spend 5 years in jail. Maybe he would be abused by his "boyfriend" in prison and find out what it is like."

By :A Landers

"Regardless of what happened Chris Brown, I think that your sentencing is missing preposition. Incidentally, mine is missing article.

The case is only interesting because it's between two famous people. Seriously, I'd be highly offended if I got my head kicked in by my 'ride of the moment' and then I saw people talking about him saying "ooh his sentence is gr8 dis wil solv everytin". Domestic violence is domestic violence, regardless of who it affects. I don't see you down in the district court scrutinising any other women after they've been beaten up. Leave it alone, won't you? No. Because your own lives are so boring, and you're too ill-educated to care about anything that actually matters."

"he should have a more severe punishment.
he should have done to him what he done to

What do you last night's episode of American Idol?

2009-03-06T03:55:00.000-08:00

Do you think the judges made the right choice by allowing Anoop,Jasmine,Matt and Megan to have to wild card spots?

Here are what some Yahoo are saying about this particular topic....

"anoop, no, because although i likes him at first, he wasn't very good the last 2 performances. also, i couldn't even remember who matt and megan were.. they were forgettable to me. jasmine deserved it. i Hate tatiana, but i was hoping she would make it through, just for my entertainment for the next few weeks.. i love laughing at her unstable emotions. i was also hoping for nathaniel and norman gentle, but oh well... :)"

By :Jade

"no i don't think they did
stupid judges"

By :Miko Man Man

"I don't think Matt deserved a spot. He wont be there much longer. I really like Megan and I'm glad she got picked. Personally tho I don't think any of them will win. My pick is Danny or Lil Rounds."

By :Danni

"I think Anoop, Megan and Matt deserved to go through. They're really good singers and they're unique. Jasmine wasn't that good in my opinion."

By :Pessimistically Optimistic

"really like Megan...I don't think she's the best singer and I don't think she will win, but I like her. She has a unique sound, and she is different. The only thing I don't like about her is that stupid little dance she does.
Matt and Anoop were both good and they deserve to be there.
I don't like Jasmine. I think she's boring."

By :**Just my OPINION**

"I do.
I liked Jasmine and Anoop from the start and they both did great last night. Megan was great, too. I just don't really care about Matt, but I guess he really pleased the judges with his performance."

"Making that person the sole responsiblitly of their entertainment, life, and friendships. I have seen people make the guy/girl the only person and thing they do in their life.....big mistake. Make sure that you have your own "hobbies" and keep your friends. Take time for yourselves outside the relationship."

By :MiZmeL

"becoming clingly and not having a life of there own, i think that messes relationships up terribly, when "i" becomes "we" all the time and u don't have your own seperate friends and life, i think its healthy too have your own lives and your life together because you dont become dependent on the person you are with..."

"Trusting the other person too fast.
Becoming too clingy, making that person your whole life and abandoning friends.
Moving too fast, then wondering why they leave you.
Not talking about important things."

By :Addie_De...

"Women love too soon either with their heart or their mind which causes them to be insecure and can be very persistant when accusing a guy in a relationship even when the guy is not cheating...

Men fall in love with sex more then heart...Which causes them to cheat..Men can be in love with a girl and still find a way to cheat with a woman he has no feelings for at all. not all men do this

Women are jus too sensitive and men are not..so a woman may complain tooo much about something that is maybe imporatant to her and a man might not think its important and becomes insensitive toward whatever the women is complaining about. which causes her to say the guy is insensitive and dont care about her feelings and causes him to say she complains too much about nothing.

Usually those are the main reasons...not all are like this."

By :kellybro...

"Becoming too comfortable, not treating their partners like their best friends and being kind to them, most people would never be as rude to their friends as they are to their partners.

Ignoring each other, not nurturing the relationship, become complacent and sloppy in the relationship.

Which leads to less romance, less interest and ultimately boredom, not more sparks. Not dating each other anymore, or treating each other like someone special.

Believing no matter what they do the other person will forgive them.

Spending more time with friends than with their partner, and talking about personal details of the relationship with others.

Many also get into a negative thing where it becomes a habit to constantly complain and make negative comments about your partner to friends, until you cant get yourself out of that negative mindset.

Not working at maintaining the relationships, loving, supportive, great relationships do NOT just happen. Smart people work at keeping the love and interest alive.

Another mistake, believing it is up to your partner to MAKE you happy, and you dont have to reciprocate or make an effort. Believing that if its "meant to be" it will be just non stop happiness, over the moon thrilling excitement and no problems, so the second a problem pops up people walk because "they arent happy"."

Will Jillian Harris be the next 'Bachelorette'? Why or why not?

If you have been watching, in every season of The Bachelor, one particle person that stood out among the rest of the hopefuls despite the fact that she didn't get the final rose. Jillian Harris is the case this year. Do you think the producer of the show will give her own show, The Bachelorette? Why or why not?

Here are what some Yahoo users are saying about this particular topic......

Jillian was next in line."

"It is going to be Jillian Harris. She came in thrid place on the show.
I am not real excited to hear that Jillian will be on The Bachelorette. I really wanted Melissa to do the it, and I think she deserved it more, especially after Jason dumped her like that!!

I don't think Jillian has the personality to have her own show. Even as Jason was getting down to the last few girls, I didn't even really remember Jillian's name. She just didn't stick out to me. I am undecided if I will watch the show ir not."

What did you think about last night's American Idol ?

2009-03-05T08:15:00.000-08:00

Did America made the right choice ? Did the judges choose the correct eight people to come back for tonight's wild card show?

Here is what some Yahoo user have to say about this particular topic....

"i was actually happy with america's choice from group 3.
i predicted scott, lil, jorge/ felicia.

as for the wild card choices, i think we're all dissapointed in their pick in tatiana.but honestly, i'm so relieved that Anoop got a spot on the wildcard show that i'm able to pretty much overlook tatiana being there."

By :gutter_f...

"I think pretty much all the right choices were made EXCEPT Tatiana. If she makes it to the top 12 I won't watch this year. I just can't stand watching her!"

By : oc_8522

"I think some of the wild card picks were strictly for ratings only (namely Tatiana) which is sad because there was a lot of great talent wasted. I feel Ju'Not should have gotten a second chance over a few of the others. He did such a great job. This year the show has gotten a little ridiculous. Its lost a little bit of its credibility in my eyes. I feel they are stooping to the levels of some of the other shows just to pull in audiences. We'll see how it goes tonight. I have watched the show since it first aired, but if some of the more ridiculous one go through, I may have to find something new to watch."

By : klambnc

"I was very upset that ju'not didnt get a second chance. and the only person i like in the wild card is Megan."

By : Missy :)

Her latest magazine pictures look awful...she's got that old heroin chic look going on. And there's something creepy about her saying she knew she was going to marry Cruise when she was a little girl! To me, she was a tv actress, mediocre at best, who married a once huge star and had a baby. If she's happy, that's fine."

By :theskyis...

"think she has gone from pretty much being a nobody to being a somebody as a result of marrying Tom Cruise! A part of me can't help but think that she married him because she wanted that boost of fame to get her starring in more breakthrough roles, etc.. I mean lets be honest, she would still be known as 'Joey Potter' otherwise right?
When she first got with Tom, I thought she seemed kind of weak, with no backbone and just sort of doing and acting the way he wanted her to. But it appears to me that she is rather independant and for herself at the moment. I don't really like her though."

Its not like she don't have anything to fall back on, shes really successful with her music and other endorsement's. If she says it's love then hey its love but don't judge. Lots of non famous people have gotten beat up by their men/women and they still go back because it's love so idk. If she wants to stay in the relationship then that's her decision. Sure its gonna look horrible especially on Browns part but you can't always stop Love. Sure you can open their eyes to the world around them but in the end it's still their decision."

What is your opinion on last night's American Idol?( March 3, 2009)

i've 2 favourites from last night's grouyp:
scott mcintyre because he's such an inspiration to me
and nathaniel marshall because he has such a great spirit about him, and is very comfortable in his own skin.and these two can sing really well(of course).

but the people i think america will probably vote for are:
scott, jorge nunez, felicia barton and lil rounds.

it was a good show- better than group 2, but not as good as group 1 in my opinion.and i think people were really impressed with felicia-who only got to the top 36 when the idol producers kicked out joanna pacciti."

By : gutter_f...

"Lil Rounds stood out. And the blind guy. I also liked the kid with the headbands. But overall, it was boring."

By : Jillian

"I think they should disregard the votes and just pick 6 out of all of the remaining contestants. No one really stood out or did a "brilliant" job (as Simon stated), in my opinion. I preferred more of the contestants from the last 2 weeks. I think that when the judges get to pick who they take, I think they should "shock" everyone and pick Jamar, who didn't make it to the top 36. That would be great!"

By : B-Rabbit

"I think its a tragic event that happened. It lets us know as individuals that anything can happen at any given time. The players involved were just out having a good time in the gulf and their lives took a tragic turn. I think it also sends a message to us to treasure life as we know it. Realistically I doubt they will be found alive because if they haven't been found by now they probably won't be and even if they are they won't be alive. But I must say the rescuers did all they could to help. So they deserve a lot of credit. I just pray for the families involved."

"Caring, good Mother. Not bothered what the press says about her, she lives her own life. Brad Pitt loves his missus becuse she is Motherly like a woman should be. She also helps a lot of charities for children. I admire her."

" think she looks so much like this octo-mom ... I think Angelina Jolie got surgery to look like Nadia... What a loser!"

"For what I know of her, as unbiased as possible.. I think she has some talent as an actress. I don't think she's particularly attractive, though her face has a lot of character which is pleasant when one is used to a more generic-type face. I have no place in evaluating her decisions. I thought Brad Pitt & Jenifer Aniston made a cuter couple but its still not my place to judge. And frankly I don't care a great deal, because in the scheme of my life thus far, Angelina Jolie does not matter. Except when it comes to Hackers, because I absolutely love that movie. Which brings me to my last point, that of the movies she's had a major role in that I've seen, I really liked her acting more before she was a big commercial success. I also like her in the Meat Loaf video Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through, because in it she has an intense presence, and is younger with a more natural and youthful look than her current one.

Billy Bob Thornton & making out with her brother freaked me out a bit. I think she'd be much better looking, for the record, if she wore her hair down with less makeup and gained at least 20 pounds."

"Overrated, overexposed, oversexed up, over everything. Just tired of hearing about her. She adopts too many children and should have her OWN kids instead of the three she has now. *Scoffs* I mean, it has gotten so bad with this "obsession" with her that now that lame Octomom wants to LOOK like Angelina. America, what has happen to you? Seriously.

Every time I watch E!, there is always something with "Brangelina this" and "Brangelina that". Sick of it. Tired of seeing them on the red carpet and their kids."

"lol me and my so-called boyfriend were talking about her yesterday.
she is no doubt about it OVER-RATED.
love her for being a humanitarian.
think shes kinda trashy...
she pretty (her face) but she built like a board!...no curves.
talented actress though must say i love her movies.
my boyfriend would like to bang her but i dont understand why....i f*** her face lmao..."

By :(Deh-Me'...

"I think anyone who sleeps with someone else's spouse is a low-life whore. As an actress I think she is overrated and just gets attention because of her looks, however if I could snap my fingers and suddenly look like her, I would decline as I personally do not find her attractive. I do think she does some good for the world as a UN Goodwill ambassador though..well more than most celebrities."
