Star of television's "Desperate Housewives," Alfre Woodard is sharing some secrets - no, not from Wisteria Lane, but from America's desperate, and not so desperate, housewives. The Emmy Award-winning actress says that a recent survey by Harris Interactive has uncovered some provocative secrets of real American housewives. "In fact, many of the findings would make great fodder for the storyline on the show," said Woodard. According to the Playtex® Secrets® survey of more than 1,300 married U. S. women, nearly three out of four (72 percent) say they have a deep secret, but more than one in three have not divulged it to anyone. Nearly half (44 percent) say they've had a secret crush. Surprisingly, nearly half of those women (48 percent) are secretly crushing on someone they work with-a co-worker, colleague or even their boss. Even more revealing, about one in five (21 percent) admit to having secretly admired their husband's friend(s). Three in 10 married women (29 percent) describe their relationship with their mother-in-law as one of toleration. Shockingly, as many as one in five (20 percent) say they'd love for their husband's mother to move in with them. About three in five married ladies (61 percent) say they gossip. Among those who do, 31 percent say they tell tales about their boss, co-workers or colleagues, while three in 10 (30 percent) dish about their neighbor(s). More than one in four (28 percent) chit-chat about their in-laws, while one in five (22 percent) talk about their husbands. The survey was conducted by Playtex® Secrets®, a beautiful and elegant intimate apparel line for full-size women, to highlight the introduction of its new Legacy Lace™ collection. Each style offers such hidden comfort features as breathable Airform fabric. Each bra incorporates luxurious feminine detailing, such as lace and scalloped edging, features designed to help make women feel confident and beautiful. Sizes range from 36 to 44 C, D and DD. Such fashionable bras could quickly become a woman's best-kept secret weapon.

Auto insurance quotes
By taking the time to shop for and compare auto insurance quotes, you can find the best policy that is right for you, and many times you can lower the cost of your auto insurance coverage. Many drivers see auto insurance as a necessary expense, but one that is distasteful to them. When asked if they'd pay for auto insurance if it wasn't required by law, some admit that if they didn't have to pay for auto insurance they'd save themselves the money. The truth is that given the right insurance, in unexpected circumstances it can be very beneficial to have paid those insurance premiums every month. Auto insurance can provide financial protection and help prevent severe financial hardship in the event of an unexpected accident. Shopping around and getting auto insurance quotes from several companies can allow you to compare the companies, their policies, and the cost of their premiums. In order to effectively do this though, you need to have enough information to make a real comparison between one set of auto insurance quotes and another. This information can help you make sure that you get the coverage you need from a good company at the lowest rate. So what should you do to make sure that you get the most accurate auto insurance quotes available? Here are some suggestions from experts: 1. Make sure that you compare similar policies. Auto insurance quotes take into account the types of coverage you select, the amount of deductibles you're willing to pay and a number of other factors when figuring your premium. In order to accurately compare a number of quotes, make sure that each quote you request is for the same options on your policy. 2. Give the same amount of information to each agent that you ask for auto insurance quotes. Whether you're comparing quotes online through a web interface or over the telephone, the amount that you're quoted will be affected by where you live, how far you drive to work each day, how old you are, who else may drive your car, as well as a number of other factors. The more information you can give when you ask for a quote, the more accurate the insurance agent can be with his estimate. The opposite of that holds true, too – the less information you give, the more general the quote will be. If there is any question, an agent will usually quote you a higher rate. 3. Ask about special discounts for safety features as well as safe driver points. When you're gathering quotes for auto insurance, be sure to ask directly about safety feature discounts and safe driver discounts that may apply in your situation. Then you can be sure that they are included in your quotes. 4. Understand the differences in insurance terminology. What is the difference between collision coverage and comprehensive coverage? How can raising your deductible lower your insurance costs? What will replacement transportation or glass coverage cost, and is it worth it for you? Researching the answers to these questions and knowing which options are included in your auto insurance quotes will make it far easier to decide which is the best policy for you.

How your credit report affects your financial situation
Many people view credit reports like a visit to the dentist - it's something that has to be done but they don't like it. This is especially true for people who have had financial problems in their past, but the fact is it's important to be familiar with your credit report because if you ever need to apply for a loan, that is where the lender will get their information. There are 3 major crediting reporting services in the US: Equifax: PO Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374 Transunion: PO Box 2000, Chester, PA 19022 Experian: PO Box 2002, Allen, TX 75013 Your credit report contains a history of your credit cards, car loans, home loans and other debt. It shows any late payments, how late they were, 30 day past due, 60 day past due, etc. Any qualified lender has access to that information - a bank, mortgage lender, credit card companies and certain other parties during legal proceedings. The credit reporting agencies do their best to keep accurate records, but errors can creep into your report. This is one of the main reasons you need to keep on top of your credit report - these errors can have a negative effect on any financial matters if left uncorrected. Some of the more common errors include loans that have been repaid still showing as active and long-cancelled credit cards still showing as active. By getting copies of your reports from all 3 agencies, you'll be able to review them for any errors or inaccuracies. They can be corrected, however. You'll need proof of the error, which you'll need to send by registered mail to the credit reporting service along with the details of the error. Ask them to correct the data - by law they need to investigate any errors reported to them. Recent legislation has made it so that you can obtain one free copy of your credit report annually, so as long as you don't request more than one per year you shouldn't have to pay for it.
What to see and do in dubai
Dubai, a relatively new tourist destination, is basically a desert city with excellent infrastructure and superb tourist amenities. Its liberal policies as well as its convenient location just three hours away from most Asian countries and five hours away from Europe, make Dubai very popular as a short-break destination for tourists from both countries that are looking for exciting shopping, fine dining, great partying and a host of unique sporting events. Though Dubai can get extremely humid and hot in the summer months, with temperatures touching 50 degrees Celsius from May to September, it is a great place to visit during the more pleasant months of September to April. As a prerequisite to obtaining a tourist visa to Dubai, your passport should be valid for a minimum of six months before your arrival. Individuals who intend to spend less than thirty days in the United Arab Emirates may apply for a tourist visa, whereas visit visas are issued to those who intend spending more than 30 days in the country. Dubai, a city of superlatives, is home to the tallest, highest, largest and fastest. It is home to Burj Dubai, which upon completion in 2008 will be the tallest building in the world, surpassing the Taipei 101 in Taiwan. Dubai offers visitors a host of unique experiences including the exciting Dune Bashing, thrilling hot air balloon rides, golfing or for something entirely different - sand golfing. Visitors to Dubai can experience the extreme as they go skiing and snowboarding in the large, specially built snow skiing center or go sand-skiing and sand boarding in the hot desert sands. Wild Wadi, a water amusement park, in the heart of the city is a great place for kids and adults alike. The Overnight Desert safari is as different but just as exciting as the Morning Desert safari. The Dubai Dhow Cruise takes you sailing down the Dubai Creek while aboard a wooden dhow that is traditionally decorated. Marvel at the major landmarks that are beautifully lit up at night as you take a midnight cruise for a completely different experience. With so much to see and do in Dubai, maybe you’d need much more than just a short break after all.
Three reasons you should not do shoulderstand
Shoulderstand – (Sarvangasana) “Healthy thyroid means healthy functioning of all the organs of the body” The Shoulderstand is called the Queen of all asanas as it benefits the whole body. It is a forward-bending posture engaging all parts of the body and stretching the shoulders, neck and upper back. In the Shoulderstand the whole body is supported by the hands, arms and shoulders. As the body is inverted the blood flows to the heart without any strain by force of the gravity. The Shoulderstand nourishes the thyroid gland which: regulates the body’s metabolism, controls the heart rate, promotes the growth and balances the digestive and nervous system. This asana tones the legs and abdomen increasing circulation to those areas. It massages the abdominal organs and it relieves stress. Because of the enriched blood flow to the brain it also relieves emotional and mental stress, headaches and it is very tranquilising. Three important reasons you should not do Shoulderstand: 1) If you have High Blood Pressure the posture is better to avoid. 2) Anyone who has Cervical Spondylities should not attempt to practice this pose because as you hold the pose the weight of the body is taken through the neck. 3) If you have Glaucoma or Detached Retina please, avoid the Shoulderstand as it could worsen the condition. When you are in the Shoulderstand there will be a sensation of extra pressure and tension in the neck because of the severe flexion in the neck. Your eyes, ears and face may also experience an increased sensation of pressure. During the Shoulderstand the expansion of the chest is restricted leading to breathe at the rates of not less than eight breaths per minutes, and in many cases up to twenty breaths per minute. During holding this posture the blood pressure in the brain will be an average of 110mmHg. Issued in the interest of people practicing Hatha Yoga by Subodh Gupta, Yoga Expert based in London.
