What's Your Hair IQ?



Dr. Larry Shapiro turned a lot of heads when he released his list that rated which celebrities have the best and worst hair.

Celebrities were rated using Dr. Shapiro’s “Hair IQ Score” (http://www.hairiqscore.com/) which takes into consideration health, shine, body, texture, color, amount and presentation of hair.

Topping the list were Ellen DeGeneres, Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Anniston who each scored a 9 out of a possible 10. At the bottom of the list were Lindsey Lohan, David Letterman and, of course, Donald Trump.

“Hair IQ” stands for the hair’s Ideal Quotient. There should be a good balance of health, body and shine, for example, for a candidate to receive a high Hair IQ score.

Dr. Shapiro believes that a celebrity’s hair is probably their most distinguishable feature.

"When you see Jennifer Aniston, it's almost impossible not to get caught up in the beauty of her hair. And you might say the opposite about celebrities like The Donald, whose hair has become almost a ludicrous logo," he said.

Dr. Shapiro has performed over 11,000 micro-minigraft/follicular unit hair restoration surgery procedures. He was also the first doctor in the southern part of the country to specialize in “micro-mini grafts,” allowing him to develop his hair treatment to a state of the art procedure.

He recently launched a line of Help Hair™ (http://www.helphair.com/) products, which include a vitamin-rich, hair-friendly nutritional protein supplement shake to combat weight loss and muscle development programs that are good for the body but bad for hair. Many fitness programs conflict with proper hair care and can actually lead to hair loss.

Help Hair™ products are sold in Whole Foods stores. Like Dr. Shapiro asks, “Why lose hair when you lose weight?”

Never Forget to Take Your Medication Again

It never fails. No matter how many prescriptions we have had in our lifetime, we all share the same problem. The thing we have the most difficulty with is remembering when to take our pills.

But, thanks to Henry Ford Health System, remembering when to take our pills has gotten a lot easier.

Henry Ford Health System has teamed up with Rexam and Med Time Technology in creation of “The Pill Timer.”

The Pill Timer gives both audio and visual alerts at prescribed intervals, notifying the consumer that it is time to take their next pill. Never again will someone have to worry about keeping track of when to take their next dosage. It’s the first Medication Management device designed for the pharmacist to show consumers how to program at the point when they pick up their prescription.

In addition to the medical benefits of taking medicine on time, staying on schedule will benefit you financially. According to Ian Shendale, the CEO of Med Time, being admitted to the hospital could cost anywhere between $5,000 and $7,000 and an Emergency Room visit caused by medication errors could cost up to $500.

The Pill Timer will be distributed at Henry Ford flagship locations in Michigan.

Check out The Pill Timer on ABC News! http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=9873907

bpBlows.com Campaign Takes a Trip Across the Pond


Armed with vuvuzelas and bpBlows.com t-shirts, angry protestors took to BP's international headquarters in London to participate in the "Vuvuzela's for BP" event on Tuesday, July 13, 2010.

Demonstrators blew their horns loudly, sending a clear message to execs that "BP blows" for their handling of the worst oil leak in U.S. history. The damaging effects of the spill have motivated many to take action and joining the bpBlows.com campaign is allowing many to do just that, help. It has put everyday people at the forefront of a major environmental movement and is gaining supporters with each passing day. This international venture for the campaign, organized by Adam Quirk and Babelgum (UK), is a sure sign that the bpBlows.com message is getting out there. The campaign hopes to put pressure on BP execs to cap this massive and devastating oil leak which, as of today, has gone into its 82nd day of gushing crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. (for spill counter:http://www.bpspillcounter.com/ )

If you want to create a buzz and sound off on this disaster (vuvuzela's optional), join the fight and get your bpBlows.com t-shirt today. You can purchase bpBlows.com gear at http://www.bpblows.com/ for just $9.95.

Lock your fears away with the Ultimate Lock!

Miami, FL… 417,122. This amount represents the total number of reported robberies in the area (http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/fl/crime/). How safe do you feel in your city?

Captain Ron Daniels may be able to settle your fears with his creation of the Ultimate Lock. The lock contains four degrees of protection and, according to Daniels, it is stronger than any other deadbolt sold in stores.
The Ultimate Lock can withstand up to 4,000 lbs. It can’t be kicked in or rammed. (Just ask J.T. Boyer, an investor of the lock, who broke his knee trying to kick a door in with the lock installed.) It can’t be bump keyed or picked. It can work without a deadbolt and is endorsed by law enforcements, NASA and ALOA. Did I mention the 10 year warranty?

So how does it work? First the Ultimate Lock contains extra long screws to be used on your hinges. These screws are drilled into the door frame in opposite directions at 30 degree angles making your door become a brick wall. If your door is being kicked in the screws will bend into the frame in such a way to increase the amount of force the door can withstand.

The anti-bump key feature makes picking your lock virtually impossible with its six-pin bump protection rather than the average four.

The Ultimate Lock also contains a lockout mode where a person can push a button from the inside of the home and it will deactivate the locking mechanism from the lock, therefore preventing the door from being unlocked.

With the Ultimate Lock’s double deadbolt unit you’ll never worry about a home invasion again. And stop double checking if you locked the door. The Ultimate Lock’s secondary security lock protrudes slightly across the door frame making it easy to see that your door is locked from 40 feet away!

With all these amazing features the Ultimate Lock is a one-of-a-kind lock that is guaranteed to keep your home and your family safe!

Check out this demonstration video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbvSXaSYkq4

The Ultimate Lock is available at all Lowe’s stores for around $175 and can be installed by Pop-A-Lock, just call (800) POP-A-LOCK or visit their website http://www.popalock.com/.

For more information, please visit http://www.theultimatelock.com/ or call (713) 266-1400.
