A recent poll asked women from 20 countries to rate men from all nations on their ability in bed and give reasons for their answers. See the top 1o Worst Lovers list below! But first, let’s talk about who was the least worst! Spanish men topped the table as the best lovers!  Why?  I think this might be an example,  Iker Casillas turned a little naughty after winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Girlfriend and TV presenter Sara Carbonero was interviewing him and asked about the match however Iker Casillas replied by kissing her live on the Spanish TV. Maybe this is why women see Spanish men as intense, passionate and exciting lovers?  Sara Carbonero was took by surprise and said “Oh my God, I will come back later”, and I am sure sh...

If I was worried about a lack of work, I would get an assignment a few days later. If I was feeling upset and lonely, a friend would call that I needed to talk to. Sometimes ambiguity and uncertainty were hours away from answers. I just needed the patience and faith to wait those difficult times through. Although it’s a struggle to see hope in the midst of heartache, sorrow and pain, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, I am certain you already walked through that door before. This week take some time and reflect on your darkest moments and then think about how you were able to get through it. Maybe the memory of your past struggles and ho...

DT: Why? AF: We don’t have them here in New Zealand. – Adam Fresco, Director of the Rethink Theatre Challenge to me, October 7th, 2010 Last month I traveled to New Zealand because a one-act play I’d written won an international playwriting contest. The contest, sponsored by Mind and Body Consultants, was funded by their annual RETHiNK Grant and was part of the national “Like Minds, Like Mine” campaign, a publicly funded program aimed at reducing the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness. Ten one-acts were chosen to be performed on World Mental Health Day, October 10th (10 plays, 10 minutes, on the 10th day of the 10th month 2010.) The contest drew entries from aro...

This is unavoidable, unintentional, and entirely animalistic! Do you think it is a coincidence P. Wentz took Ashlee Simpson to basketball gym? He had to hire sweat with substance!  Wentz has less testosterone than Lady Gaga!   Ashlee, her sister Jessica Simpson, and Pud Wentz also gets excited around sweaty men with orange balls I hear.

Let’s walk with the Ghost of Best Actress Past. We’ll start today, just over two weeks following Sandra Bullock’s Oscar win for The Blind Side, and less than a week after Jesse James, her husband of five years, issued a public apology for cheating. Simultaneously, Kate Winslet and husband Sam Mendes publicly announced their split, a year after she collected her BA statue from the Academy for The Reader. This is a tough road, but let’s keep going. Reese Witherspoon was named best actress in 2005 (Walk the Line); she finalized her divorce with Ryan Phillipe in October 2006.

There were also pain medications in her system and she suffered from iron-deficiency pneumonia, perhaps caused by heavy menstrual periods. According to CNN, her death is being ruled an accident. While we’ll never know how much Brittany took of what, her death is a strong reminder of the dangers of self-treatment on top of medical treatment and it also reminds us that pneumonia is an illness that should be taken seriously.

However, it’s been proven that helmets do reduce the risk of head injuries among people who participate in these winter sports. According to a study published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the use of helmets reduces the risk of head injuries among skiers and snowboarders by 35%. This is a significant number because, statistics show that head injuries account for up to 19% and neck injuries up to 4% of all injuries reported by ski patrols and emergency departments. Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of death and serious injury among skiers and snowbo...

As little as three hours a week of brisk walking over a period of 6 months  increases blood flow to the the brain and triggers biochemical changes that increase production of new brain neurons.  Stretching , sex, and non-aerobic exercise has no effect on brain size.

It’s hard to take on a powerhouse media deity like Oprah, because of her positive influence in so many people’s lives. It’s harder to stand fast with your criticism, and yet Newsweek appears to be doing just that.

But, despite taking good care of her body and her physical beauty, time has ravaged her bones, resulting in osteoporosis. As a result of her diagnosis with osteoporosis, Ms Andress agreed to become a spokesperson for the disease, teaching women about the importance of osteoporosis prevention and treatment.

Unfortunately, however, Ms. Richardson suffered a near textbook case of what’s called epidural hematoma. I say near because she was 45 and epidural hematoma is more likely to happen in younger adults with the average age being 20-30 (it’s rare after 50). But the rest of the awful story is only too typical. The only positive thing about epidural hematoma is that it is a rare event. In fact, it only is found in about one to four percent of traumatic head injuries. It is also a cruel irony that March is Brain Injury Awareness Month (BIAM). And doubly so because, ...

In the past two months, two actresses—Amanda Peet and Jenny McCarthy have made statements to various media sources about vaccines and what they do and what they don’t. Peet has (no surprise here) aroused quite a bit of scorn, anger, fury, from proponents of the hypothesis that vaccines or something in vaccines can be linked to autism. So there you have it.

Instead of being defensive or turning to crash dieting, however, she declared satisfaction with her size. “I’ve sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women’s bodies are constantly scrutinized. “To set the record straight, I’m not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image. “A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.” “And like all women out there should, I love my body. “To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini - put it on and stay strong.
