Be an angel donate your car

I came to know about a portal called Car Angel which basically works for the upliftment of orphans, homeless and teens. It basically operates for the charity work. You too can add to this charity work by donating your used car, boat or property. It provides nation wide fast and free donation service. Here you can donate your car, boat or house. They help in receiving a tax deduction while avoiding hassles that one experiences from a private sale. The major advantages that one gets here are..
1) full legal IRS tax deduction for the car, boat, plane, house or property.
2) free vehicle pick up.
3) avoid the unwanted hassles of selling a used car.
4) avoid the costly ads for your used car or property.

As the web portal is dedicated to the help of orphans and homeless, your car donations will be helping the human kind. It’s not necessary that just by donating your car you can benefit the poorest of the poor, you can also help them by spreading words about car angels. Talk to your friends so that they too come to know about this. Who knows one of your rich friends decides for boat donations.

Car angel is involved with charity work. So they make funds by selling the properties received from the donors. I mean to say an interested person can buy used cars here or can even buy used boats.

Show organiser Marctensia said all parties had reached an "amicable understanding".

The flamboyant star wore "sober" outfits but called it a "major sacrifice". She put jackets over her tops and leotards underneath her skirts and dresses, to conform to the guidelines for the show.

“The immigration issue is interesting because historically everyone has immigrated, this is a country of immigrants,” Fox News quoted her as telling at Padres Contra El Cancer’s 9th Annual Fund Raising Gala in Hollywood.

The ‘Desperate Housewives’ star hopes there is a relook into immigration law in America.

Eva, who is also the spokesperson for the charity, said she "would really love to see immigration reform obviously transpire, but in a way that is obviously fair to people in the country."

However, she insists that the current issue is the health reforms.

She added: "One topic at a time, Obama can tackle the health care issue, and I completely support him on what he is doing currently, with his options that he wants to provide, and ... how he wants to fund it."

Being slim is what ages us most

For women who think being slim makes you look younger, a new study has found that people over 40 look younger if they have fatter face.

During the study, the researchers compared 186 pairs of identical twins and found that shedding pounds could age a woman by an average of four years. Lead researcher Dr Bahaman Guyuron says: "The perceived age of an individual is usually attributed to both genetics and environment in various degrees.”

Since the twins’ genetic make-up was identical, the differences in how old they looked could be attributed solely to external factors and lifestyle. To reach that conclusion, researchers calculated the body mass index (BMI) of each twin. An ideal BMI for an adult is between 18.5 and 25. Anyone with a BMI lower than 18.5 is classed as underweight.

A BMI higher by four points was found to result in a younger appearance of between two to four years in women over 40 years old.

"The more fat that is preserved in the face, particularly the cheeks, the more you will preserve the facial proportions of youth,” said Rajiv Grover, Consultant Plastic Surgeon and Secretary of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Excessive dieting will give a woman a gaunt appearance by leading to volume loss in the midface.

“This volume loss can be compounded by yo-yo dieting, where not only do you create volume loss, but also stretching of the facial supporting ligaments due to repeated facial volume gain and volume loss, which causes deeper nose to mouth lines and jowls," he added.

Other factors that had an effect on ageing were divorce, smoking, drinking and sunbathing.

Hollywood’s pretty woman Julia Roberts is in the capital for ‘Eat, Pray and Love’, which is the name of her forthcoming film.

Based on the novel by the same name, the film has an extensive segment of India shoot. But catching a glimpse of Julia is going to be one tough task as the crew has kept their itinerary a top secret.

However, sources say that Julia and the entire cast headed straight to the Pataudi Palace from the airport after clearing the customs. As of now, they have checked into a five star hotel. And the shooting will soon begin at an ashram near Gurgaon. The Pataudi Palace is also a likely venue for the shooting.

As for Julia’s India rendezvous, this isn’t her first visit to the country. The actress had come earlier with her husband Danny Moder and had visited the Taj Mahal.

Jennifer Aniston used to clean toilets

Jennifer Aniston might be making millions as a Hollywood actress today, but the actress used to clean toilets for a living at one point of time.

In a recent interview to Parade magazine, the ‘Friends’ star, who earned 25 million dollars in 2008, revealed that she "grew up with absolutely no money at all.”

"I made my allowance as a kid cleaning toilets. I’m actually pretty good at it," said Aniston.

"I struggled for a while, but I was happy with my life whether I was making this amount of money, or that amount of money," she says. "I always enjoyed where I was working,” she added.
Other than cleaning, Aniston held a host of other jobs while waiting for her big break on ‘Friends’.

"I loved being a waitress. OK, I didn’t like time-share selling, I hated that job. But people used to say to me, “You need to focus on having ambition. And I guess sort of following that advice allowed a lot to come to me", she said.

the 40 year old actress, who was most recently linked to her ‘The Bounty’ co-star Gerard Butler, said that she’s still the same person today as when she was scrubbing bathrooms.

"There’s just been a great ease with that evolvement in my life to being an actress. I didn’t change that much, but my bank account changed," she said jokingly.

Lisa Ray to walk the red carpet at Toronto Film Festival

Cancer-stricken Lisa Ray, who has shown commendable courage in the face of adversity, will be making her first public appearance ever since she revealed about her illness. The lady will come to the posh Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, where she will walk the red carpet with Deepa Mehta and her brother for the Gala premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. Lisa has just winded up a - ‘Cooking With Stella’ with Deepa’s brother Dilip Mehta.

Director Deepa Mehta, who worked with the actress for ‘Water’ said, “I knew about her illness two months ago. She told me. It was hard to believe. She wanted to keep it very private, and rightly so. Only her close friends and family knew. Which is why when Lisa blogged about her illness, I was surprised. It was very courageous of her. I think she decided that by coming out in the open about the illness she would not only be able confront and overcome the sad situation, but also encourage others in similarly troubled spaces to fight and win over their illness.”

“I met her last a few weeks ago. She is the epitome of grace under pressure. Truly exemplary! We had fun doing the Bollywood/Hollywood film. As for ‘Water’, no one seemed to believe she could pull off the role of a Hindi widow in the 1930s. But she did,” Deepa further said.

“We’re looking at a woman who is a portrait of courage. She will do the red carpet proud,” says Deepa passionately. “I remember when Lisa was shooting for ‘Cooking With Stella’ she was having so much fun with all of us. There was no sign of the illness. The only outward manifestation of the crisis to come was her loss of appetite. I remember telling her on the sets, ‘Lisa, you aren’t eating anything.’ She’s going to defeat this crisis. Lisa is a fighter.”

What matters in a fight is the spirit and Lisa Ray is an ideal fighter!

US airports ban Pamela Anderson ads

Sherlyn Chopra lifts up her spirits

Sherlyn Chopra wants to put her past behind her. With her latest outspoken and ‘bustier’ avatar, the actress is giving newer meaning to the term ‘bold’ and is talking super-hot stuff these days.

An insider had said: “She told him she needed to get back on her own two feet before moving forward. Jason was disappointed, but he understood."

Lisa Ray suffering from Sancer

Celebrated for her cosmopolitan looks, model and actress Lisa Ray is suffering from Multiple Myeloma - an incurable cancer of White Blood Cells. The svelte beauty has shared this news in her blog - ‘The Yellow Diaries’ and is coming to terms with the terrible reality.

Devastated by the revelation, friends and colleagues of Lisa are in a state of complete shock. According to Vikram Bhatt, the director of ‘Kasoor,’ which marked the debut of Lisa in Bollywood said, “I am in complete shock, I’m going to check on her immediately.”

According to Shamim Sarif, the director of Lisa’s upcoming flick ‘I Can’t Think Straight’ tweets, “I have known since her diagnosis but at this point Lisa wants to truly raise awareness and funding to make sure this incurable disease finds a cure.”

While talking about her depleting health, an inconsolable Lisa blogs, “I’ve started this blog to give people an insight into my life,” she wrote. “The yellow diaries will be a place where I write about my personal journey.”

On 8th September, Lisa posted, “I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on June 23rd. Started my first cycle of treatment July 2nd. Notlong ago.”

The actress continued, “For me, it was a relief to hear what was wrong. The plasma cells in my bone marrow were rampaging, multiplying, squeezing out the red blood cells and it was time to begin doing something about it. I was also tired of being tired all the time. And you just know when something is not kosher with your body. So when I sat there with Bobcat - my life partner and reservoir of Yellow – and got the news I didn’t react and I didn’t cry. I’m an actress, believe me, I can be dramatic. Not just then though.”

Incidentally, the actress decided to get a medical checkup only, “a few months ago, my bone marrow started sending me messages. I was always exhausted, pale, drained. The lack of oxygen made me a serial yawner and spacier than a displaced Czarina. Little did I know, but my hemoglobin had fallen to levels where even a dedicated Blood sucker would turn their thoughts to revival. I got a routine blood test and the results sent me to the hospital for a blood transfusion.”

“And then I stopped travelling and returned to Canada. Got myself tested by Dr Susy Lin, landed in emergency and eventually got full membership into the Cancer Club. That’s how I found out I have Multiple Myeloma.”

Know your blood pressure ..be safe

Well, we all are familiar with this term- blood pressure. In today’s fast and hectic life most of us do fall victim of blood pressure. In fact, it is a force against the walls of the vessels that carry blood in our body. In terms if medicine, these vessels are called arteries. Each time our heart beats, it pumps blood into these arteries. So, we all have some sort of pressure. Blood pressure is highest when the heart pumps the blood and it is lowest when the heart takes rest in between those pumps.

Blood pressure is represented by two numbers which are systolic and diastolic. They are represented in the form x/y, where x is for systolic pressure and y is for diastolic pressure. A normal blood presuure is 120/80 or lower. A blood pressure reading of 140/90 or higher is called high blood pressure. If the blood pressure reading falls between 120/80 and 140/90, this is called prehypertension stage. A high blood pressure damages blood vessels and raises risk of stroke, kidney failure, heart disease and heart failure. So, the important thing is- we should check our blood pressure regularly- be it at home using some machines or by consulting a physician.

We should regularly check our blood pressure in order avoid further consequences. These days technology has given us automatic blood pressure monitors using which one can measure it at the ease of home. These machines don’t need a doctor and so there is no need of a stethoscope. Using these automatic machines we can monitor our blood pressure readings. Doctors use an instrument called stethoscope while taking readings of blood pressure. When there is some irregularity, we should immediately consult a doctor.

When someone becomes a patient of high blood pressure, there are certain things which should always be avoided. By following a healthy life style one can maintain a normal blood pressure. Following a healthy eating patter, using less salt in our diet, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing alcohol intake, saying no to tobacco products.. these are some of the steps that can lower high blood pressure.
