Stars pay tribute to Mandela ahead of 90th birthday
Stars of the screen, stage and sporting arena paid tribute today to Nelson Mandela, whose visit to London UK, has been overshadowed by events in Zimbabwe where disputed elections have just ended.
Hollywood actor Will Smith hosted the birthday celebration in front of Mandela, who turns 90 next month, and nearly 50,000 fans in London's Hyde Park.
Smith was followed on stage by Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton and pop acts Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox, Razorlight and some of Africa's biggest singers, while Simple Minds and Amy Winehouse were among those still expected to perform.
The event was organised to support Mandela's HIV/AIDS charity "46664", named after his prison number, and comes 20 years after the city hosted another concert for the statesman when he was still behind bars for his stand against apartheid.
"Twenty years ago, London hosted a historic concert which called for our freedom," a frail-looking Mandela told the cheering crowd after they had sung him Happy Birthday.
"Your voices carried across the water and inspired us in our prison cells far away. As we celebrate, let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete. Where there is poverty and sickness, including AIDS, where human beings are being oppressed, there is more work to be done. Our work is for freedom for all ... We say tonight, after nearly 90 years of life, it is time for new hands to lift the burdens. It is in your hands now, I thank you."
The tribute to Mandela coincides with disputed elections in Zimbabwe, and during his trip to Britain Mandela was urged to speak out against President Robert Mugabe who pushed ahead with the vote despite international outcry.
During his visit, Mandela uttered just four words of criticism of Zimbabwe in a speech at a dinner "tragic failure of leadership" and they were enough to make headline news.
Mandela, South Africa's first black president, officially retired from politics nine years ago, but he is still a moral authority admired the world over. People in the crowd appeared to be at the gig more to honour Mandela than to hear the music.
"I'm here because of the man," said Clive Jones, a 31-year-old theatre technician. "I feel he's done so much for the world, especially with what was happening in South Africa. He is also humble and kind."
Emmanuel Jal, a Sudanese hip-hop artist based in London who is singing on Friday, said Mandela was "unique" among African leaders. "He did not love power so much, and left it and gave it to someone else," he told Reuters.
Jerry Dammers, who helped organise the 1988 concert and whose song "Free Nelson Mandela" became an anthem for the anti-apartheid movement in Britain in the 1980s, will also take the stage.

Amy Winehouse A Troubled Life
Soul singer Amy Winehouse has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for many years. As well as her self-destructive behaviour, she has become regular tabloid news since 2007. Now she has developed the lung condition emphysema and has been warned by doctors that she will die if she continues smoking drugs.
Amazon Review:
Amy Winehouse's second album, Back to Black, is one of the finest soul albums, British or otherwise, to come out for years. Frank, her first album, was a sparse and stripped-down affair; Back to Black, meanwhile, is neither of these things. This time around, she's taken her inspiration from some of the classic 1960's girl groups like the Supremes and the Shangri-Las, a sound particularly suited to her textured vocal delivery, while adding a contemporary songwriting sensibility. With the help of producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, "Rehab" becomes a gospel-tinged stomp, while the title track (and album highlight) is a heartbreaking musical tribute to Phil Spector, with it's echoey bass drum, rhythmic piano, chimes, saxophone and close harmonies. Best of all, though, is the fact that Back to Black bucks the current trend in R&B by being unabashedly grown-up in both style and content. Winehouse's lyrics deal with relationships from a grown-up perspective, and are honest, direct and, often, complicated: on "You Know I'm No Good", she's unapologetic about her unfaithfulness. But she can also be witty, as on "Me & Mrs Jones" when she berates a boyfriend with "You made me miss the Slick Rick gig". Back to Black is a refreshingly mature soul album, the best of its kind for years.

Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Appetite
He's tackled fast food - now Gordon Ramsay has set his sights on our expanding waistlines, creating delicious new recipes that are big on taste but not on calories.Healthy Appetite is Gordon Ramsay's tenth cookbook and follows the success of Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food (published by Quadrille, May 2007). With his unique style, energy and enthusiasm, Gordon shows readers how to prepare an extensive array of dishes that not only taste great but are packed with fresh, nutritious ingredients cooked in a healthy way. Healthy Appetite takes its inspiration from the latest series of the hit television show The F Word.
Gordon Ramsay, marathon runner and keen advocate of a varied but balanced diet, presents 100 recipes which will help contribute towards an overall healthy lifestyle. Gordon rejects the idea that healthy food should be dull and monotonous and instead demonstrates recipes which are both delicious and easy to prepare.
With photography by Lisa Barber, Healthy Appetite contains a variety of dishes divided into seven chapters ranging from Breakfasts to Working lunches, Kids food and Entertaining. Novice and more experienced cooks alike will be able to create recipes such as Mango and Smoked Chicken Salad, Griddle Squid with Roasted Peppers and Wild Mushroom Risotto with Baked Courgettes.
The book offers recipes tailored to meet a hectic, modern lifestyle and demonstrates how easy it is to maintain a healthy, balanced and interesting diet on a daily basis.
The Prisoner
Do you remember The Prisoner? Did you know what it was all about, or is it still a mystery? You can now revisit this cult classic from start to finish and find out the real truth. The Prisoner shop is here... calling No.6, come in No.6!!!
The Prisoner is an allegorical UK 1960s science fiction television series starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan.

Episodes typically feature the unnamed prisoner, labelled Number Six by his captors, unsuccessfully attempting to escape from the Village, but successfully resisting interrogation and attempts of brainwashing.
The show was created by McGoohan and George Markstein, with exteriors filmed primarily on location at the Hotel Portmeirion in Penrhyndeudraeth, North Wales. Seventeen episodes were produced. The first was originally broadcast in London on 1 October 1967 and the last aired on 4 February 1968. The world broadcast premiere was on the CTV Television Network in Canada on September 5, 1967.

Keep your Lap and Laptop cool
Have you noticed how hot your laptop gets on your lap? After prolonged use the heat can be very uncomfortable and it can also damage the laptop. Overheating is a major cause of laptop failure. So I searched for a solution and found the ALLSOP Cool Channel Notebook Platform. This handy little thing weighs practically nothing and is very comfortable on my lap, is well made and appears that it would last for a long time without wearing out. The lip is perfect for holding the laptop in place, there is no sliding and you can tilt the laptop forwards or backwards.
So now, while my laptop is running, it no longer becomes hot - this product which feels rigid and is covered in mesh-y cloth allows my laptop to vent so that the bottom no longer gets hot and even the air coming out feels much cooler. I can use it on my lap or on a desk and I know my laptop is secure and cool. It also helps my posture, no longer do I have to bend down to view the screen, I can now place it at eye level. I highly recommend the Cool Channel Notebook Platform.
ALLSOP Cool Channel Notebook Platform
Cushioned heat shield to protect your lap from heat.
Passive Air Circulation.
Non-slip Surface.
Allows for easy toting of laptop.

Three Ways To Cut Your Food Bill
Grow your own food. Get your seeds and plant them. You don't need much space, just a tub in a window will do. It's so simple and can save you over £400 a year on fresh fruits and vegatables.
Don't waste food. The causes are various. Simply cooking or preparing too much, and throwing away the surplus, is a prime cause. So is having to throw out fruit and vegetables because they've gone off. As is not eating food before it goes past its useby date.
And throwing it out costs the average home over £450 a year, rising to £700 for a family with children.
Eat traditional foods. Get back to basics. It will help you stay slim and healthy. I've always been interested in old, traditional recipes. Just last week, rather than throw out two pints of milk that were on the turn, I slung in a handful of rice, some sugar, and a twist of nutmeg to make a delicious old-fashioned rice pudding.
And the logic can't be denied: food that isn't eaten doesn't have to be bought. Especially if it's cakes, biscuits and other fatty and/or sugary snacks. For years, experts have told us about the health and fitness benefits of dieting now maybe it's time to point out the financial benefits, too.
If you live in the US you can now shop for your food and save money at Amazon Grocery, woth more than 22,000 non-perishable items, all at great prices and all eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping and Amazon Prime. The newest store makes it easy to stock up on longtime staples as well as regional favorites, hard-to-find specialties, and natural and organic products.

Paul McCartney Concert
I was just reading about Liverpool and noticed that this year Liverpool is European Capital of Culture and that Paul McCartney is headlining an all-star cast in a wonderful musical spectacle. So I thought I would give it a little plug here.
See Sir Paul McCartney perform at the Liverpool Sound 2008 Concert. This event is part of Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture throughout 2008. Sir Macca returns to his native city to headline The Liverpool Sound Concert at Anfield Stadium - a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the ex-Beatle perform in his hometown.

Manchester United Update
The football season is finally over and because I started a thread on here about Manchester United a little while back, I thought it would be wise to conclude it with the final results. So here we are:
On 21st May 2008, fifty years after the Munich air disaster, Manchester United beat Chelsea in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final and were crowned Champions of Europe. The team was led up to collect the trophy by Sir Bobby Charlton.
They are the English Premier League's reigning champions, and have won the Premier League/Football League 17 times. In 1968, they became the first English club to win the European Cup, beating S.L. Benfica 4–1, they won a second European Cup in 1999. Their third European Cup they won on 21st May 2008. They also hold the record for the most FA Cup titles with 11.
The Manchester United Shop is powered by Amazon.co.uk. Here you will find all your Man Utd goodies, with many items handpicked by me!

Top 5 Daily Habits that will transform and rejuvenate you
Eat five small meals a day.
In the Western culture, meals are taken three times a day, but it is much better to eat five smaller meals. When you eat smaller portions five times a day, you deliver a steady stream of nutrients, blood sugar, and energy to your body throughout the day. Additionally, eating this way is less taxing on the digestive and metabolic systems and also reduces your risk of heart disease.
Climb the stairs.
The health benefits of a daily exercise program cannot be stressed enough. Regular exercise can help promote physiological well-being, strengthen the immune system, maintain joint mobility, increase energy - the list goes on.
Laugh it up!
We know from research that laughter and joy boost immune functions, especially the production of the natural killer cells that help protect the body from illness and cancer. Laughter also increases the release of endorphins, compounds that give you a sense of well-being, in your brain. Without a doubt, joyful people live longer and healthier lives.
Drink 8 glasses of water every day.
Water is essential for all healthy body functions. Centenarians from around the globe cite their native water as the source of their health and longevity - and the scientists agree with them. What they all have in common is pure water sources located far from any city, free from chemicals and toxins.
Unwind and Relax.
Stress is the root cause of most of the diseases that shorten our life span. In our modern society stress will continue to increase - unless you find techniques to manage it. Meditation is the best way to release tension and revitalize your being. It teaches you to breath properly, which is critical for eliminating up to 70% of your body's toxins and wastes. It also quiets your mind, lowers your stress hormones, and teaches self-discipline, which is a necessary attribute to achieving your health and longevity goals.
Look after your health, with information, tools, online analysis and products to create a healthier lifestyle.

Make Your Skin Glow with The Body Shop
1. Top skin creams. Hundreds of gorgeous, innovative, sweet-smelling products that do exactly what they claim to do. Many products here are organic, fair trade and environmentally friendly, for people who care not only for themselves but also the planet.
2. Vitamins. The correct amount of Vitamins is essential for good health. In fact, the antioxidants alone (Vitamin C & E or beta carotene) can make your RealAge up to 6 years younger! You must eat to make your Skin Glow. So load your shopping cart with nutrients that research has shown to have skin-hydrating, sun-protecting, and even wrinkle-preventing powers.
3. Green Tea. While all true teas contain EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), the various types of green tea have the most. Gives your skin a healthy dose of EGCG, which is a great multi-tasker. EGCG puts a damper on inflammatory chemicals involved in acne and sun-related skin aging; it also helps prevent skin cancer; and it has a lion-tamer effect on tumor cells. What’s more, green tea contains L-theanine, a de-tensing amino acid and anything you can do to staunch the flow of the stress hormone cortisol helps keep collagen fibers intact.
4. Fish. Give your skin a double benefit: age-fighting omega-3 fatty acids plus the restorative powers of protein. Omega-3s fight inflammation, now considered one of the top skin-agers, and they also help protect against sunburn, enhancing the effects of your SPF sunscreen. Protein is required to build and repair skin cells and to make enzymes and hormones that help keep it glowing.
