Lady Gaga is Only One of Many Celebs With an Eating Disorder

Lady Gaga has admitted that she has been battling bulimia and anorexia since she was fifteen-years-old, but the shapely singer is only one of many celebrities that have admitted to having an eating disorder. Gaga appears to have things under control, but many celebrities are not so lucky: Ten Famous People Who Have Struggled with Eating Disorders.

The Trudeau Aroma Aerating Pourer is a Breeze to Use

Some people believe that only red wines need to be allowed to breathe before being served. Other people are of the opinion that all wines benefit from having the chance to be exposed to the air before drinking. The easiest method of achieving this has always been to uncork the bottle and leave it in a suitable environment for at least fifteen minutes; preferably longer.  The modern day wine-drinker does not always have the time or the patience to follow this practice though, and many people have taken to using wine aerators in the hopes of enjoying the full taste of their wine in no time at all. I had my doubts about such devices, but all that changed when I tried the Trudeau Aroma Aerating Pourer: Product Review: The Trudeau Aroma Aerating Pourer

Celeb's Say 'No' to Obama Reelection

According to Chuck Norris if Obama is elected for a second term it could lead to '1,000 years of darkness' and Hank Williams Jr. thinks of Obama as a Hitler-like figure, while Clint Eastwood gets up on stage and talks politics to an invisible Obama. It seems to be harsh words all around for the President: A Trio of Celebrities Slam Obama, But is He Really The Antichrist, or Just an Invisible Man Wannabee?

Green Mile Star, Michael Clarke, Dies of Myocardial Infarction

I heard a new term today ‘myocardial infarction’ and as is so often the case I went straight to the Google search engine and typed in ‘What is myocardial infarction?’

I found my answer of course. It’s just a fancy name for a heart attack. I also found out something else and it came as quite a shock. Apparently the actor Michael Clarke Duncan Died a couple of days ago. If you are not familiar with the name you should be because he was the guy who played John Coffey in Stephen King’s The Green Mile. He was only 54, which is no age at all and always appeared to be very healthy. But he died on the 3^rd September of a myocardial infarction, which is why he turned up in my search results.

It’s amazing what you can find out on the World Wide Web, it’s just a bit sad when a simple search can turn up such tragic news, but that’s life I suppose.

You're Not Really Going To Eat That, Are You?

Have you ever fancied tucking into a nice, big plate of worms? What about snakes? Do you fancy eating a snake? I'm guessing that eating worms or snakes has probably failed to get your mouth watering, but it's a strange world and some people put some very strange things into their mouths. Anyone for rat meat? Or how about some boiled bat? The boiled bat is particularly nasty because it is the bat, the whole bat, and nothing but the bat, with guts and fur included. In Guam, apparently, bat eating is quite the done thing, but the flesh of the flying fox has been linked to some very nasty diseases: Four Strange Foods That I Won't Be Eating Anytime Soon

How Things Have Changed

When I was a kid one of the things I used to look forward to was reading my comics at the weekend. I loved my comics and sometimes, if I was lucky, the comic would have a free gift with it. How different things seem to be now. I went to the Supermarket today and while Mrs Malone was choosing which magazines she wanted to burden the trolley with (she gets lots of them) I got bored. My eyes began to wander and I saw several shelves full of comics. Every comic had a free gift with it, and I cannot remember ever seeing a single comic on those shelves that did not have a free gift with it. It's all rather sad really. Do kids buy comics these days for the content or for the gift? Are the producers of comics afraid that if they do not include a free gift nobody will buy the comic?

Can 20 Minutes Change Your Life?

I am very interested in prosperity consciousness and I spend a lot of time reading self-help books and books and articles about the law of attraction. I also watch a lot of YouTube videos on the subject and once you become interested the subject it is amazing how much information is available and how one piece of information often links to another. The other day, for instance, I was watching a Bob Proctor video and noticed a link to a video about Earl Nightingale. I had never heard of him so I clicked on the link, followed another link, and then another one and soon found myself on Amazon, where I bought and audio book download. With a title like 20 Minutes That Could Change Your Life, it was kind of hard to resist and it only cost me £0.79.

The dialogue was taken from an old radio show which was later released on cassette and now, of course, is available as an mp3 download. It is one of those things that some people will get a lot from, but others will just let go over their head and may even label ‘a load of old rubbish.’ Nightingales words may not offer anything new to those who have read a lot of self-help books etc, but he presents the information very well and I love some of the quotes:

All that makes a man unique is his mind. Anything else can be found in a pig, or a horse.

Nightingale took that quote from Archibald Macleish’s play The Secret of Freedom, but here is one of his own (at least I think it is),

We are all self made, but it is only the successful people who will admit it.

I particularly like the survey that he suggests that the listeners conduct:

Walk down a street in your neighbourhood on any Saturday or Sunday and ask the man of every house two questions.
What are you doing at the present time to increase your income now?
How much money are you planning to be worth at age 65?

Remember that things have changed quite a bit since the recording was made. Back then, in most houses the man was the bread-winner and women tended to be stay-at-home wives. So that is why Earl suggests that you ask ‘the man of every house.’ Times have changed. The world has progressed and now you could just as easily ask the woman of every house as well. But! Some things may not have changed. Earl warns the listener that he or she will receive blank stares and have to suffer unnerving silences. I think that there is good chance that this will still be the case.

Ask yourself the survey questions. Does an answer come straight away, or do you also draw a blank and wear it on your face? The first time I heard this question I felt very proud because I could answer it straight away, I do have definite plans and goals and have already set them into action quite some time ago.

Later on in the recording Nightingale offers suggestions on how to go about making the necessary changes (to self) and climbing the ladder to success. His advice seems very sound to me and the Nightingale is not to be taken lightly because he was a self-made man who had traveled the road from rags to riches.

If self help recordings are the kind of thing that you like to have in your mp3 player or iPod, you may want to try give this one a try. You have nothing to loose, but £0.79 and everything to gain.

I listen to a lot of recordings like this, and have found many of them very useful, so I intend to do further posts on the subject of Prosperity Consciousness
