Aluminum is found virtually in all Antiperspirants -but not in all Deodorants

Hi friends, I knew that many of you don't like to deal with this topic. But, I can’t in good conscience keep this information to myself when I know that so many of you are unaware of this.

Get up right now and go grab your deodorant, and bring it back. Now look at the ingredients. Is any aluminum ingredient listed? If yes, throw it out. Aluminum has no place inside the human body, and is linked to Alzeimer’s and breast cancer.You will have no problem finding a Deodorant that is aluminum free. You will however have a problem finding an antiperspirant without aluminum, because aluminum is the magical molecule that embeds itself into your pores, corking up your sweat glands, and eventually absorbing into your blood stream. Hence the name “anti-perspirant” -it actually stops you from sweating by blocking the gland. So, skip right to the health consequences of putting aluminum into your blood stream and save yourself from CANCER...

Even cell phones need a hug sometimes

Does this topic sound crazy? But this is true.Actually I am morally opposed to pink gadgets, but I might have to make an exception for the BIG HUG ADHESIEVE CELL PHONE HOLDER

This little dose of silliness cradles the phone in its giant pink/purple rubber palms and could prove quite handy for those of us who fritter away too much time hunting down our misplaced phones. The plastic holder has an adhesive backing that can stick to any surface (windshield, dashboard, desk, wall, back, forehead), and it promises to protect your phone from scratches while it's keeping it in your sights.

The gadget sells online for $3.99, with a $5 shipping fee, weighs just less than 3 ounces, and measures about 3.9 inches by 1.5 inches by three-quarters of an inch. Alas, that means some thicker phones, like PDAs and smart phones, will have to look for affection elsewhere...[:P]

Rudra veena

The Rudra Veena has it's musical roots in ancient times. Rudra veena (also called the been) is associated quite strongly with Dhrupad. The performance exhibits the same wealth of melodic nuance and sophisticated development.Dhrupad is often presented as the oldest Indian music, with an explicit continuity to ancient times. In this respect, it is perhaps the most direct development of Vedic chanting, and the literal respect for text in dhrupad is representative of those scriptural ideas. However many of the codifications of dhrupad are dated more specifically to the same period as the origin of khayal, and the two might be viewed more accurately as parallel developments, although dhrupad is certainly more austere in its formalism.The been or veena has always been the instrument of Indian classical music and was traditionally studied by all dhrupad students until the 19th century.This stringed instrument does not look like any other, veena or otherwise. It has been developed to follow the precision of Indian classical music, and the quality of the long and slow moving (vocal type) glissandos that are so typical of dhrupad.The duration of these veena's notes is incredibly long.The been is made of a body, a hollow tube made of teak wood, on which the strings are fixed at both ends. The bridge is a flat bridge, multiplying the depth of the note's spectrum. Metallic frets are disposed on that tube on a slightly angled axis. They are always movable (fixed by wax or strings) and so can be adapted for every raga (the notes of the raga are not fixed by equal temperament). Two resonators made out of pumpkins are placed on each side of the veena, not far from the two ends of the body. Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar introduced important changes to this veena, transforming it into a Bass instrument : the Rudra Veena.
