No, Helen Mirren Does Have A Great Body

Helen Mirren's topping Google Trends in both blogs and news websites for several reasons, but a very interesting one is the reaction to her blast that she, in her view, does not have a great body. My video above is a rebuttal, made three years ago, but it's worth digging up for a repeat performance.

According to Starpulse.com, Mirren said that early last week, while informed that she made the top place in a poll of the hottest women over 50 years old. Mirren ranted "I do not have a great body. I have a c--p body. Naomi Campbell has a great body. Let's be realistic, here."

This space wants to take nothing away from the wonderfully beautiful Ms. Campbell, but there is room for more than one celebrity in the "hot church," if you will.

Besides, anyone who can make a movie, Shadowboxer, with Cuba Gooding Jr., and play lover, assassin, and confidant, and look so tasty doing it you forget she's 65 years old, deserves the title.

Helen Mirren's hot body was most recently seen with Jeremy Irons and Lorin Maazel and the Castleton Festival Orchestra at the 2011 BlackCreek Summer Music Festival at the Rexall Centre in Toronto, Canada, June 30th.

10 Top Hairstyle Tips

1. Don't go to the salon unprepared to request the hairstyle you wish to wear.

Many hair consumers mistakenly believe that their hairdresser can work miracles, can read their mind and can instantly pick out the best hairstyle for them.

There are many variables to consider when it comes to selecting a hairstyle and it is up to the hair consumer to do their homework and research their own hair options. Face shape, lifestyle and budget all play into the final style selected.

2. Don't select a hairstyle or haircut that is impossible to maintain at home on your own.

While many Hollywood celebrities have a expert hairdresser at their fingertips to make sure their tresses look paparazzi perfect, most consumers have to deal with their hair without those constant hairdressing services.

3. Don't skimp on proper hair care or hair styling products

Some hair care lines sold in drugstores may work for some types of hair and some styles. However, if you have highlighted or chemically processed hair or require added volume or control, the less expensive non-salon lines might not do the trick and could make styling your hair a constant challenge.

Consider your options. You may be able to compromise by buying both mass market and high quality products and alternate between them for best results. Or maybe your hairstyle requires high quality hair care lines. Be honest and don't work hard to achieve a great style only to undermine it with products that don't support it.

4. Don't use the wrong hairstyling tools

There are many different tools available to create fabulous styles. These tools range from blow dryers and curling irons to hot rollers and round brushes. Make sure you use the proper tools when re-creating your style.

If you're unsure what tools to use, ask your hairdresser to give you a lesson at the salon. It may be impossible to copy the style your professional hair consultant designed for you if you don't deploy the same styling techniques, products and tools.

5. Don't overuse hairstyling products

Less is more when it comes to utilizing styling products. If you overdo the gels, mousse and hair sprays you risk developing product build-up on your tresses which can make your hair misbehave.

6. Don't copy celebrity hairstyles without caution

Keep in mind that Demi Moore and Jessica Simpson can wear just about any hairstyle their heart desires because they have professional hairdressers custom designing those styles to maximize their best features and minimizing their less attractive.

What looks fabulous on Demi and Jessica may not look the same on you unless you truly look exactly like them, have the same type of hair and wear the exact shade of hair color and cosmetics. Set fair expectations and you won't be disappointed.

7. Don't ignore high end cosmetology schools as hairstyling options

Some of the higher end schools such as Toni & Guy and Paul Mitchell employ talented and seasoned professionals as instructors. The schools have very high standards for the quality of hairdresser they turn out. As a result, a high end cosmo school is a great place for getting some hairstyling work performed, even if it is just a slight shaping and trim to maintain your high priced style from a different salon.

In fact, a great option is to have your hairstyle created at a top notch salon but have maintenance performed at the cosmo schools to average out your hair style maintenance costs.

8. Don't be a slave to hair trends

Hairstyles change constantly as fashion change. Instead of being a slave to hair trends, find a hairstyle that works best for you and maintain that base look. If you want to update your tresses to keep them looking fresh, opt for a change in hair color, highlights, lowlights or slight texture. If you look great in a bob, keep that as your basic style but work with your hairdresser to keep it looking contemporary.

9. Don't ignore hair accessories as a fabulous hairstyling option

Some hair consumers mistakenly believe that hair accessories are only applicable for young people or certain types of hair. This is not correct. Any hair accessory can be adopted for any age, hair type, texture, fashion or style. Use these fabulous fashion accessories to instantly change your look without a trip to the salon.

10. Don't count out hair extensions as a way to achieve different hairstyles

Whether you want a temporary hairstyle change that a clip-in hair extension can offer or a more permanent change for 3-4 months, hair extensions have come a long way towards affordability and high quality.

Words like recession and economic slowdown spread jitters through the retail sector faster than wildfire. But if your specialty is fashion jewelry take a deep breath and consider yourself an exception. Sifting through retail history reveals the subtle reason for your privileged position.
Everything from manufacturing to understanding the human mind was churning in the 1920s. The industrial revolution was producing plentiful goods at more affordable prices and an Austrian psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud, was developing new theories on the workings of the mind including unconscious desires. A nephew of Freud in the US, Edward Bernays, had the brilliance to put both together in appealing to consumers' desires. Plentiful and affordable products accompanied with desire were replacing needs as the primary reason for buying.
While Bernays' theories as well as his uncle's are not 100% accepted today, these pioneers forged the trail of today's marketing. Subconscious desire replaces need as the motivation to buy. You see extremes flipping through a fashion magazine that sometimes reveals sultry advertising with few words that leaves many readers wondering what they are selling. Subconsciously it is sex appeal, but fashion jewelry doesn't need to wallow in this because unlike jeans that all look alike, it has an intrinsic beauty of its own. Fashion jewelry escapes from the cage of need and becomes the object of desire attracting approving glances with sheer art. Fashion jewelry is not beads and metal castings put together like a necessary tool, but the elements of an attractive image. Imagination and the surprise of beauty in new fashion jewelry designs create the perfect union
As the classic trend marches on, wholesale fashion jewelry today offers retailers a constant flow of breath-taking designs to hold their customers attention. The human spirit foresees satisfaction in acquiring a new item and fashion jewelry fills the desire with artistic designs that are very affordable and at the same time enhance the buyer's attractiveness. This combination makes fashion jewelry almost recession proof.
Some will scream, don't tell me that! My business has seen serious impact the last few months! To answer that, let's return to Edward Bernays. Bernays' theories not only founded modern PR, but also modern propaganda. Information can shape crowd instincts and effect outcomes. Step back as an impartial observer and look at the steady stream of bad news presented by the media. Such an unrelenting attack on the economy has appalled many players and reporters in the fashion industry. The steady diet of bad news is equivalent to a propaganda blitz to shut down buying.

Australian Manuka honey is known for its healing properties and our forefathers were well aware of the antimicrobial characteristics! This honey is rich in medicinal content. It is extracted from the Manuka Tea Tree flowers that are commonly found in New Zealand and in some regions of Australia. Like its New Zealand counterpart, Australian honey contains powerful healing properties that can treat various physical ailments, such as ulcer, wounds, eczema, sore throat, gastro-intestinal infections, acid reflux, acne, bowel syndrome, etc. Since it also has antiviral, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial compounds, its healing power is extraordinary compared to other honey types. Today, Australian honey is sold at many places; but to buy the best quality, you need to have some basic information.
Understand the flavor and properties of Australian honey. This honey comes in semi-liquid form, and gets softer when shaken or stirred. It contains coarse granules which are usually smoothened by adding cream. It can come in dark cream, amber or tan color. Its aromatic flavour contains menthol or eucalyptus tinge along with slight hints of herbs, mineral and sugar. When you first sample it, you will get a medium sweet flavor on your taste buds; but, later on, it will leave you with a little bitter aftertaste. If it's added with cream, you will feel it melting in your mouth leaving some cool effect.
Look on the back of the jar of honey to check the rating given for its Unique Manuka Factor (UMF). In order to get this rating, the honey quality needs to score at least 10 on the scale. This rating also testifies the medicinal value of the honey. Manuka honey with this rating is called Active Manuka Honey; however, it should be noted that many manufacturers market it as active even when it is not. If you want to take it for therapeutic reasons, then choosing a one containing unique Manuka factor trademark is important.
Place an order for the same through a reputed website or buy from an established retail or departmental store. If you are purchasing it from the web portal, look at the product details and price mentioned on the platform. In case of a direct purchase from retail store, you can always check the bottle's label yourself.

These are the three most dreaded words many people around the world may have to hear one time or another in their lives. Is this the beginning of the end? Not if you go about it in a dispassionate and sensible way.
After coping with the shock, most of us would find the top specialist we can afford, and follow his treatment plan to the letter. You are made to believe that since oncologists went to medical school for years ---only they know what is best for you. Not necessarily!
While conventional doctors are undoubtedly experts in chemotherapy, radiation and surgery ---the only treatments taught in most medical schools--- their methods are by no means the safest or the most effective ways to cure most cancers.
Sure, they can fight the cancer for a while, but these treatments also poison your whole body, especially your immune system. They weaken your body's natural defenses just when you need them most. That's why most cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation- suffer terrible side effects and become susceptible to all kind of infections. Ask these patients and they will tell you they would rather die than go through it a second time - and that's exactly what they choose to do.
So why is chemotherapy recommended by the large majority of doctors? While there is a tremendous conflict going on in the minds of honest and caring oncologists they are in a very difficult position because they've only been trained to give these drugs. Their good intentions fail when the only resource available to them has so little to offer.
Chemotherapy, the mainstay of any conventional cancer treatment has a success rate of 3%. Yes, the failure rate amounts to 97%. Not very encouraging since cancers such as breast, colon, and lung cancer are simply untreatable by chemotherapy.
That's right, after our loved ones have suffered for months on end and paid a fortune for conventional treatments, over 55% of the most feared cancers come back again according to researchers at the prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Americans are known to donate generously to the cancer cause. Millions are spent on cancer research every year while the best brains toil away hoping for a breakthrough. But with a small percentage of cancer survivors left to spend 5-7 years of a miserable existence; failure stares at us straight in the face.
What if you could treat cancer more successfully than most oncologists?
There are hundred of thousands of cancer patients around the world who are leading healthy, normal lives today. The truth is doctors so often get it wrong.
Experts in Nature Cure and Alternate Medicine claim that you can naturally cure most cancers at home for a fraction of the cost of chemotherapy -- without the horrible side effects. You will discover the most potent alternative cancer treatments that 94% of doctors don't even know exist. And it's probably easier to cure cancer in its earlier stages than it is to cure pneumonia. So, don't let panic rush you into a decision you may regret later.
It is a known fact that cancer is a multidimensional, systematic total body disease where the tumor is merely a symptom. Studies have shown that there is no known tumor that could not be cured 35 years ago, and can be cured today with conventional treatment. The entire purpose of the alternative cancer treatment is to correct the root cause of cancer in the whole body. Once the cause is discovered; reversing the cancer is a simple matter.
Cancer patients deserve to know the truth and to make choices based upon this truth and the choices to be made in treating cancer are not easy ones; because there is so little certainty of cure in any of them. Yet, the evidence that there are literally hundreds of alternative cancer treatments which really do work is voluminous.

R.P.Bhalla, retired airline captain and avid golfer writes extensively on Health and Relationship issues. Based on personal experience, he believes that nature can cure the most deadly diseases.
