Take equal proportions of fenugreek seeds and yellow lentils, add a teaspoon of cumin seeds and water to completely soak it for few hours. After that grind this mix to a paste. Apply the paste on to your head, massage it through the scalp, leave it for an hour and just wash your hair. You don’t need shampoo, yellow lentils are a natural mild shampoo. If your hair is oily, you may want to go for a very mild/baby shampoo.

After about 30 mins, you will feel that the paste is drying on your head. Once it dries, the dandruff sticks to it and will get washed off. The paste is mild enough to pull only the loose and dead skin cells. Once you wash your hair and dry it, you will feel that your scalp is more fresher and within 6 weeks you would never see any hair loss or dandruff!

Repeat this process once every 3 days (if you sweat more, repeat it every 2 days) To make things even better, increase your water intake to at least 3 to 4 liters a day and/or swallow 1 teaspoon of fenugreek soaked in water overnight every morning!

Tiny Tim

He’s an award-winning New York fashion designer whose work is written about in GQ, New York Magazine and Vogue and spoken of glowingly by the fashion glitterati.

But in the trendy Greenwich Village neighborhood where John Bartlett, creative director of Liz Claiborne’s men’s collection, lives and works, it’s constant companion Tiny Tim who gets the most attention.

When the two stroll to the chichi shop where Bartlett sells his own upscale line and custom work, folks call to Tiny Tim and reach out to give him a pat.

And then the dog — a three-legged, mixed-breed mutt — settles in near the front door of the elegant shop with its quiet air of perfect breeding, to spread his own special brand of customer service.

“A lot of people are drawn in because they see him from the sidewalk,” Bartlett says.

So besotted is the designer with Tiny Tim that the logo on his store is a three-legged dog, and that image appears on the patch of his line of pricey jeans.

“I couldn’t be luckier,” says Bartlett, who got the dog from North Shore Animal League America seven years ago. When Bartlett visited the shelter on his 40th birthday, he was captivated by the “soulful eyes” of long-termer Tiny Tim, so named because he had arrived at the shelter severely injured. His leg was amputated Christmas Eve.

In Bartlett’s circle, there are a lot of “status dogs,” he acknowledges; sometimes someone will deride his tri-pawed dog of indeterminate genetics. Bartlett is untroubled.

“That tells me a lot about that person,” as does the reaction of most people, who find Tiny Tim irresistible.

Jezibelle

The old dog walked in, looked around, took possession of a prime spot on the front-office sofa, and that’s pretty much where she’s been ever since, serving in the official-greeter role she created for herself.

It doesn’t seem to matter that she’s no one’s idea of a beauty queen, what with her broken teeth, half-gone ear and sausage-shaped body. She knows how to spread sunshine with her lopsided doggie grin, and that’s earned her devoted fans in her little community — and a job.

“We didn’t plan on having a mascot, but she claimed us, made this her role and that’s the way it is,” says Ginger Sikes, president of the Animal Lovers Assistance League in Currituck, N.C., where the stray who came to be known as Jezibelle landed in 2008.

Now Jezibelle is integral to the daily operation of the place. She presided over a promotion in which would-be adopters got special consideration if she honored them with a big wet one on the cheek. And she hams it up in seasonal costumes. People pop in just to get a trademark Jezibelle hello.

When she first arrived, efforts were made to find her a home. No more. “We are her family,” says Sikes. “We love her and she knows it. … She’s very happy.”

Fritz

Last year at this time, the little hound mix was desperate, filthy and parasite-ridden, scrounging for life on an Indian reservation near Grand Junction, Colo.

Now he’s the famed Fritz, glossy dog-about-town in Boulder, his sharp-nosed face adorning magazine pages, a familiar presence among the designers, landscapers and artisans who visit the offices of Boulder County Home & Garden Magazine.

“Everybody knows him. It’s ‘Hi, Fritz’ wherever we go,” says Carol Brock, magazine editor who adopted him last March from the Humane Society of Boulder County, which got him through the PetSmart Charities’ Rescue Waggin’ program.

After surgery to remove a blockage from his eat-anything-to-survive days (a baby-bottle nipple) and other treatments, Fritz proved the perfect assistant to Brock on assignments and at the office. He performs tricks for folks when things get slow.

“He learns things in a second,” Brock says. “I thought I’d teach him some tricks and he’s so smart — he learns after just one or two times — I ran out of ideas for tricks.” She went to the bookstore last week for help: a book of 101 dog tricks. She figures it’ll be a few weeks before he masters them all.

Whitaker

Customers of The Tile House in Collierville, Tenn., get the extra perk of genial attention from the good-natured “shop dog,” Whitaker.

What they know is that Whitaker is a big black mongrel. What they don’t know is that Whitaker’s back story is a confluence of miracles big and small that resulted in a happy-go-lucky pup getting a happy-ending life.

When he was 3 months old, a car struck him, breaking his back legs and injuring his lung. His owners called animal control to euthanize him. But the officer couldn’t bring himself to do it and instead asked Fayette County Animal Rescue to try to save him.

After months of surgeries, setbacks, rehab and foster care, the dog the animal rescue folks named Whitaker (for the officer who wouldn’t send him to an early grave) was adoption-ready.

Enter Mike Membreno, tile shop owner, who had wanted a big dog to join his two Jack Russells.

But when he met Whitaker, he realized the shepherd/Lab was surging with energy, and a big unruly dog wasn’t his wife’s idea of ideal.

Still, they decided to foster him. The first time wife met dog, “Whitaker went calmly to her, licking her hand, no jumping.” He obeyed when ordered away from the other dogs’ dishes and “in about 15 minutes he slid next to her and put his head in her lap like a little boy.” The foster-care agreement became adoption papers.

That was three months ago. Now Whitaker works at the store three days a week. “The UPS guy and mailman give him treats,” and the customers “just love him. He’s just one of those dogs with a great way that people respond to,” says Membreno, grateful that the dog that’s with him around the clock most days “just wasn’t gonna quit when he was so bad off.”

It won’t break apart on a small drop, and takes about 5 minutes to make! Before you start, it dows use 10 semi-rare parts that you need to make sure you have. Once you are finished, you can add, customize, or even make a necklace out of it!

step 1 Gather the parts

The main parts you will need are four roof tiles 1X2, and six of the inverted version, along with a few regular bricks with 1 width.

You don’t need to use any exact color either, in fact, all red looks great!

step 2 Starting the frame

To begin with the frame, make two groups of three roof tiles (inverted) together, as seen in the picture.

step 3 Filling up the heart

To start the bottom part of the heart, put the 2 roof tile groups opposite, and add a 2×1 and a 4×1 brick!

step 4 Adding the last layer

Finish up the last layer by putting 8 units of any brick with 1 width on top on the heart. I would use a long single piece, as this holds the whole heart together!

step 5 Finishing it up!

To end, add 4 regular roof tiles on the top, making a heart!

step 6 Customize it!

Be sure you add your own little spa-zaz to show her you care! Add a chain, make an animal, heck strap on some velcro to the back and wear it!

You can make a necklace by drilling a small hole in the middle of the red section, and sliding a string through it!

To be on the safe side, Dr. McNeil warns that you need to be diligent about washing your hands (especially after contact with such germ-prone items as doorknobs, public toilets and gym equipment). You also might want to carry an alcohol-based hand gel that can be used to disinfect your hands when soap and water aren’t available.

Step one: Lip balm babe

Prepare your delicate lips with a generous slick of lip balm in advance. Nobody likes cracked and frayed lips! And in this cold winter weather its important to take more care than usual. (Cold weather will dry the moisture from your lips). Make sure that the lip balm has sunk a little before you go on to step two, otherwise your lip liner won?t work.

Step two: Line and define

Get a natural lip liner, and carefully draw around the very rim of your lips. If you get a wobbly line, don?t panic (and don?t think nobody will notice it)… just carefully remove it and start again! When you have a firm line fill in the rest of your lips with the same color.

Step three: Now add some shine!

Here comes the glamorous bit, the lip-gloss! Again, keep the color natural. Forget lipstick that?s too dark or too light. One thing you?ve gotta remember though, gloss looks better but doesn?t have the staying power of lippy. Make sure you keep it in your purse and re-apply during the day.

Step four: Plump them up

This is the ?hard bit?. But actually it?s not! All you?ve got to do, (after you?ve completed steps one through three), is dot a white shimmery product like eye shadow or an eyebrow highlighter in the very center of your lips. Start slowly, and blend very carefully. What you are looking to achieve is natural looking shading, with your lip color being lighter where your mouth opens. This will create the illusion of beautiful full lips.

Oh, one last thing. Remember, people always want what they haven?t got, so don?t fret… just make the best of what you?ve got. And you know what they say; if you?ve got it, flaunt it!

Cameron is broadcast journalism student at Virginia Commonwealth University, and wants to become an anchor.

When asked during the interview portion of the competition her thoughts on fighting childhood obesity, Cameron said parents should curb television and video games.

“We need to get our kids back outside, playing with sticks in the street like I did when I was little,” she said. “Expand your mind, go outside and get to see what this world is like.”

Miss California Kristy Cavinder was the first runner-up, winning $25,000.

The young women who came out on stage at the beginning of the pageant and danced to “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas are from all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

After a week of preliminary competition, they each introduced themselves to the crowd Saturday at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

“From the home of the Governator, I am here to pump you up,” Cavinder said as she was introduced.

The judges, the public and contestants themselves then trimmed the field over the next two hours.

Actor and “Extra” host Mario Lopez hosted the 89-year-old pageant with help from Clinton Kelly of TLC’s “What Not to Wear.” The pageant was broadcast live on TLC.

The panel of judges included radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, actress Vivica Fox, musician Dave Koz, Miss America 2002 Katie Harman, gymnast Shawn Johnson and former “American Idol” finalist Brooke White. Comedian Paul Rodriguez was set to be a judge, but organizers said he pulled out because of a family emergency.

Cameron, crowned by 2009 Miss America Katie Stam, will embark on a year-long run with the title to represent the organization and raise awareness for her chosen platform.

Cameron, Cavinder and Miss Michigan Nicole Blaszczyk each won $2,000 earlier in the week for winning talent competitions among three split fields of contestants. Miss Oregon CC Barber, Miss New York Alyse Zwick and Miss Puerto Rico Mimi Pabon each won $1,000 in nightly swimsuit competitions.

Miss Oklahoma Taylor Treat won the $6,000 Quality of Life award, given to the contestant judged to excel most in volunteerism and community service.

Scores based on a week of preliminary competitions were added to Saturday’s competitions to determine the winner. Each judge ranked their five favorites in order, and their ballots were used to pick the winner.

In all, the Miss America Organization awarded $340,000 in scholarships at the national level. The organization says its national, state and local chapters gave more than $45 million last year in cash and scholarships.

The pageant was preceded by a one-hour television special on TLC, “Miss America: Behind the Curtain.”

The contestants picked 12 women from their own ranks who faced a public vote for one of three spots among the 15 finalists. Stam, a Seymour, Ind., native, was one of four finalists chosen by viewers last year.

The crowning of a Miss America began in 1921 as a publicity stunt to persuade tourists on Atlantic City’s Boardwalk to stick around after Labor Day.

The bathing revue blossomed in the age of television into an American pop icon before fading in later years and losing it place on network TV in 2004. It moved to the Las Vegas Strip in 2006 in an attempt to reinvent itself and has found a home on cable television.
