‘American Idol’ ‘Do Review Best and Worst Hair of 9 Seasons

23 juin 2010

The votes may be in for this season’s « American Idol » winner, Lee DeWyze (who has great hair, by the way), so we thought it only fitting to do a recap of the last nine seasons and get your vote on which contestants have rocked the stage — not necessarily with the best vocals, but with the best and worst hair, of course!

Here are the top nine most memorable hair Idols when they were on the show:

Season 1: Kelly Clarkson: Who can forget the original Idol who started this whole frenzy? When she first appeared on the show, we loved Clarkson’s shoulder-length, bouncy ‘do with chunky highlights. However, « since she’s been gone », her hair has been another story!

Season 2: Clay Aiken: Maybe the best bedhead we’ve seen. Short, choppy layers were lathered up with gobs of gel to create an ultra messy, spiked look for this pop star dad.

Season 3: Jennifer Hudson: The Oscar and Grammy winning performer gave new meaning to the term « big hair » when she and her mega curls stepped on the « Idol » stage.

Season 4: Bo Bice: Rocker, hippie or biker dude? Bo could pass for any one of these with his long, straight strands, bushy eyebrows and make-shift goatee.

Season 5: Kellie Pickler: This country girl may have endured her share of « dumb blonde » jokes, but short, long, cropped or curly, her hair always looks smart to us.

Season 6: Jordin Sparks: Jordin’s long, flowing curls helped create her signature look. Although, straightening her locks made it appear more like a « battlefield » was going on. We say, « Keep the curls. Why mess with a good thing? »

Season 7: Jason Castro: Put this flower-child in the 1960s and he would have fit right in with his long dreadlocks and hippie style.

Season 8: Adam Lambert: Poofy, punked, edgy, slicked, spiked — you name it, this modern-day Elvis has worn his hair like it.

Season 9: Crystal Bowersox: While many wanna-be Idols notably changed their looks throughout the show, like it or not, Crystal Bowersox was firm about keeping her dreads.

6 Best Earth Day Beauty Products and Promotions

22 juin 2010

Happy Earth Day! Today’s the day to do something nice for our planet, whether it be biking to work, committing to reusable shopping bags, or, the most fun way to celebrate Earth Day, switching out a few of your beauty products for eco-friendly alternatives. Here are our top 10 choices for Earth Day Beauty 2010!

Aveda: Earth Day? Try Earth Month. In addition to all of Aveda’s year-round earth-saving initiatives, they’ve been spearheading targeted April Earth Month campaigns since the ’90s. This year their goal is to raise $3.5 million for clean water projects around the world, because one in seven people worldwide lack access to clean water. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Light The Way Candle goes towards the Earth Month campaign. Also visit their Facebook page to calculate your water footprint — for every footprint calculated Aveda donates $1 to Global Greengrants.

Lush: Do you ever feel like you’re surrounded by endless amounts of packaging? It seems like everything we buy comes with multiple layers of plastic and cardboard, much of which ends up in landfills. Lush is a big believer in minimal — or zero — packaging, so 70% of their products can be purchased « naked, » and the packaging they do use is done as sustainably as possible. In fact, if one in five people switched from liquid shampoo to a Lush Solid Shampoo Bar, it would eliminate about 22 million plastic bottles. They’ve also done away with wasteful paper gift wrapping in favor of brightly-colored, reusable scarves made from vintage material. Love that!

Wembé: Soap. It looks so innocent, right? Sadly, many common soaps use palm oil sourced from the forests of Malaysia and Indonesia, where over-harvesting is leading to rampant deforestation that is endangering the world’s last wild orangutans. (Soaps from companies on this Earth Day list use palm alternatives or sustainable sources from other parts of the world.) We’re fond of Wembé soaps, which are handmade from sustainably-harvested, native ingredients from the rain forests of Paraguay. Instead of palm, the soap base is made primarily from coconut oil, which is pressed from coconuts that fall from the trees and are then collected by indigenous people and brought to a local processing facility.

CleanWell: You know all those antibacterial hand sanitizers and liquid soaps on which we rely to kill flu germs? Yeah, they’re terrible for the environment. Most of them contain the antibacterial ingredient Triclosan, which is a chemical that pollutes our waterways, wreaks havoc on wildlife, eventually ends up in our drinking water and then builds up in our bodies where it can mess up our endocrine systems. Yikes! CleanWell uses revolutionary green technology to kill germs without the use of toxic chemicals. Check out their selection of hand wipes, sprays and soaps at Target and Whole Foods, and say no to Triclosan.

Soleo Organics: Sad but true: Most sunscreens are loaded with chemicals that damage coral reefs. Think about it — when you slather on your sunscreen and hit the waves, some of it slides off and disappears into the ocean. Common sunscreen chemicals can then trigger beautiful coral to bleach out and die. If you’re heading to the ocean, we recommend looking for sunscreens that are « reef-safe. » One of our favorites is Soleo Organics, which, besides providing broad-spectrum sun protection, is an all-natural, biodegradable sunscreen that has been recognized by National Geographic Green Guide as being safe for sea life.

The Body Shop: Time to stock up on planet-saving products at The Body Shop, one of the original eco-friendly beauty pioneers. Through April 25 thebodyshop-usa.com is running an extra 20% off special, and all Body Shop stores are offering 20% off any purchase on April 22 if you bring your own reusable shopping bag. While you’re there, take a look at their recycled makeup bags, cruelty-free makeup brushes, and new Coconut bath and body range, which supports sustainable and fair-pay coconut oil trade in Samoa. The Body Shop has also joined with the online energy tracker Earth Aid to offer rewards to consumers who save energy.

Books A lifetime friend

21 juin 2010
Books are a common feature in today’s fast moving world. It is quite difficult to find someone who has not seen, touched, and read at least one book in his or her lifetime. Today, authors write books on nearly every subject be it arts, science, commerce, history, literature, poetry, and other contemporary subjects.
Publishing and printing of books has become easier and more widespread since the invention of the printing press. Earlier, books were copied and written by hand, making books expensive and rare. Let us travel a little back in time to discover the journey that books have taken since first known to humankind.
History:
The word ‘book’ comes from an Old English word called ‘bo-c ». According to the popular site thefreedictionary.com, a book in modern terms is « A set of written, printed, or blank pages fastened along one side and encased between protective covers. »
The early Mesopotamians wrote books on clay tablets. The ancient Egyptians wrote on papyrus rolls in Egypt as early as 3000 B.C. In China, bamboo strips tied together with chords served as books. These dated back to around 1300 B.C. In ancient India, seers and sages wrote ancient religious texts on palm leaves – nature’s paper. These early writers would preserver these books for posterity and hand them down from one generation to another for preservation and dissemination of knowledge.
By the 19th century, printers could no longer meet the demand for books by hand printing. The printing press and the moveable type press, attributed to Johannes Gutenberg, changed the scenario, thus bringing the cost of books down to a considerable level. Johannes Gutenberg is also credited with printing the first real book – the Gutenberg Bible, using the movable type printing press.
Large presses followed this invention, thus making it possible for larger books to be printed. Further advances were made during the mid 1800s. For example, the invention of the papermaking machine, binding machinery, the cylinder press and the linotype machine made it possible for books to be printed in large numbers. In modern times, books are printed using a number of sophisticated processes, which require special attention out of scope of this article.
Classification of Books:
Books are classified into various types according to their content. A popular segregation is fiction and non-fiction books. Fiction books contain largely fictitious material, such as novels, which are the most common form of fictional books. Typically, novels consist of a plot, setting, themes, and character.
Non-fictional books usually provide useful information as opposed to fiction books. A common type of non-fiction book usually found in libraries is the reference book. Other books can include handbooks, almanacs, encyclopaedias, atlases, instruction manuals, and others. School and college textbooks are come under the non-fictional category. Other non-functional books can take the form of directories, address books, phone books, appointment books, logbooks and diaries.
Another popular method of classifying books is by the type of covers they are provided with. Accordingly, they can be classified as hard cover and paper back books. While hard cover books have a stiff binding, paperback books have paper binding which are less robust and last lesser compared to their hardbound counterparts.

Build Your Own Solar Panel

19 juin 2010

Ok, here’s why solar panels really are one of the coolest inventions: They take absolutely free and limitless energy, and make it usable for your home.

Making your own solar and wind power for less than $200

Did you catch the keywords, free and limitless?

As in, you never pay for it and it never ends?

« Sounds alright to me, » says Joe Schmoe down the block.

Yes Mr. Schmoe, of course it sounds alright, it is AWESOME!

So Joe Schmoe finally wises up and buys his DIY solar panel kit and within a week, he is paying 50% of what he used to for his energy! And after a couple additions to his solar panel system, he is getting his energy TOTALLY FREE! Talk about taking advantage of the that giant ball of fire we call the sun!

And now Joe looks like a pretty smart cat to all his neighbors and friends.

Want to be like Joe?

Making your own solar panels is not nearly as expensive as most people think. It will cost you about $100-$200 and one or a couple Saturdays of work. And you’re going to start saving money immediately. Who wouldn’t want to cut their monthly energy bill in half? Or even eliminate it completely and live completely « off the grid »!

If you are not an expert or have no experience with building solar panels, you may be interested in using a « how-to » guide. I would definitely recommend using one, it only costs about $50 and will save you A TON of time and stress. If you get your hands on one of these, and are able to follow directions, you will have no problem getting your solar panel system installed.

There are many guides online to choose from, but only two are really good. Their benefits far outweigh the competition and they have money-back guarantees so you don’t have to worry about losing money.

Making your own solar and wind power for less than $200

#1 DIY Green Energy: This guide packs so much content! You get several manuals, covering every single aspect of solar panel making, as well as how to make your own windmill. The manuals are clear, concise and fully illustrated, so you will not get lost in it.

DIY Green Energy also gives you something really cool – they show you how to build your solar power system for only $97. The authors outline exactly how they did it. Every other guide says you will spend $200, but you really can do it for half that.

My favorite part of this guide is the two hours of how-to videos that are included. The videos are great for visual learners like myself; it really helps to have a good example to watch instead of only having the manual to read. No other guide offers as much solid video content.

#2 Earth 4 Energy: I also recommend Earth 4 Energy because their EBook is very easy to follow, and they also include « how-to » videos, but they only have videos on 3 aspects of DIY solar panels, compared to the 7 that Green DIY Energy includes.

The author of this article, Zach Lee, is an online DIY product reviewer; he’s the one who separates the valuable DIY guides from the worthless ones that only induce intense anger and frustration.

Being someone who has seen more than his share of worthless online « guides » and products, Zach’s goal is to point his readers towards quality and helpful resources that they can purchase with peace of mind.

Why Do I Get Fat If I Don’t Eat That Much?

15 juin 2010

Are you familiar with  unconscious physical activity ?  It includes everything from sitting up straight to tapping your foot to gesturing with your hands when you talk etc. A century ago, people burned 1,500 more calories a day than they do now. Even those who would rather do close to nothing, had to cultivate the fields or take a long walk to town. But in these days, people born with the urge to sit find that they can easily go through life with doing very little with regard to body activities, which is sufficient to explain the obesity epidemic.

Two years ago, a research including 20 self-described « couch potatoes » (10 lean and 10 mildly obese) took place. Each participant has been dressed them in high-tech underwear that recorded their bodily actions every half second for 10 days. It has been revealed that his leaner ones burned about 350 more calories a day through unconscious physical activity equalling to approximately 33 pounds a year.

In an earlier reaserch, 16 volunteers  ate 1,000 calories a day over what they needed to maintain their weight. They did so for two months. One would expect they would all put on weight, wouldn’t you? After all, 1,000 extra calories a day is a lot. But at the end of the research, the gain per person ranged from less than a pound to more than 9 pounds. And all the variation, could only be explained by the amount of the unconscious physical activity.

The good news is that if you’re not a natural-born fidgeter, you can consciously work at overriding your biology. A guy noticed his body starting to thicken as he hit middle age, he put a treadmill in the living room, and every night when he came home and watched TV, he did it while walking. He lost 15 pounds over a period of nine months without changing anything he ate.

It may sound rather unbelievable, but the theory that a virus can make you fat is gaining credibility. In 1986, 2 researchers  had a conversation with regard to a virus that was killing poultry. One of them  mentioned an odd effect the virus had on the infected chickens: Their abdominal cavities had plenty of fat, and the dead ones were, by far, heavier than the healthy ones. A sick chicken should be a skinny one, wouldn’t you say?. They wondered what would happen if they expose normal and healthy chickens to the virus. Sure enough, those who got infected developed significantly more body fat than the healthy birds and, paradoxically, lower cholesterol and triglycerides.

The findings were so compelling that he decided to test his patients for antibodies to the virus?and he discovered nearly 20 percent of them had been infected.

We are still a long way from being able to tell an overweight guy that the problem is a virus. But it should be noticed that there is a wide research in the area of germs causing other chronic illnesses. We should all remember the experience of the two Australian researchers who suggested that a bacterium was responsible for stomach ulcers and were scoffed at for years until.. They won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2005. Famously, one of those researchers swallowed a Petri dish of the bacteria to prove his case…

Chicken viruses, unconscious physical activity factor?maybe these vever thought of reasons explain why we’re fat. Or maybe we don’t sleep enough, or we’re too stressed. Every other month, a new theory pops up. But whatever said, even science knows right now what works to lose weight and keep it off – simply  move more and eat less. That means making active choices whenever possible,  taking the stairs, and being more conscious when it comes to diet. As for those people who claim  that they eat so little but they look like butterballs, all I can say is that if you  think about what you put in your mouth, it feels as if you’re eating a lot more.
