Removing Odors & Smells from Clothing

2011-07-17T16:50:00.002-04:00

Written by;

Organic Clothing Blog ~

Laundry folklore is rich with home remedies for removing or reducing fumes, odors and chemical irritants from your clothing. One of the more interesting is to soak clothing in a solution containing a half cup of powdered goat’s milk. We have been unable to find any scientific or practical reason why soaking in a solution of goat milk might be effective. Goat milk (pH 6.7) is slightly more alkaline than cow milk (pH 6.4) and does have smaller fat modules but the nutritional content is very similar. We suspect that the persistence of this technique might be more due to the soothing psychological image than any actual chemistry. If you have tried and are convinced of the efficacy of soaking clothing in goat milk to remove chemical irritants, we would love to hear about your experiences. The fats and butter solids in fresh or powdered milk can seriously stain your clothing if allowed to dry before laundering so go straight from the milk soak to the washing machine.

Here are guidelines for removing or reducing fumes, odors, scents (like perfume, cologne and deodorants), smells and chemical irritants (like shipping fumigants, pesticides and anti-mildew sprays) from your clothing.

Air them out. Hang clothing, even nearly purchased clothing, in the open air and allow to air out and off-gas. This will help remove smoke, fumes, and smells trapped in your clothing and will also allow offgassing ofVolatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde used in the garment dyeing or finishing process or of pesticides and fumigates such as methyl bromide used during shipping. Hang the clothing in a breezy (you can use a fan), warm and sunlit room to facilitate the airing-out and off-gassing. Because the off-gassing might contain VOC’s, hang the clothes outside or in a room containing fresh air and lots of leafy green plants, such as Boston Ferns, which will absorb and remove VOCs from indoor rooms. The length of time depends upon how saturated the clothing and the sensitivity of the wearer. The hanging length of time can be as little as a few hours to a couple weeks. Remember, formaldehyde used in new carpet adhesives and wood building materials can take several months to a year or more to off-gas.
Soaking. Soak clothing in a sink or washing machine filled with warm water before washing. Add one cup of baking soda, washing soda or Borax. Our experience is that several hours (or overnight) are usually sufficient although some people will suggest up to several days. Rather than soaking for several days, it is probably more effective to repeat the airing – soaking – washing – drying cycle several times if necessary.
Washing. Complete the laundry cycle and wash according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The choice of laundry detergents is very important. Most conventional laundry detergents are made from synthetic petrochemicals and laced with artificial dyes, fragrances and optical brighteners. Besides being hard on the environment, the toxic chemicals in these laundry detergents can also leave a residue on clothing that can irritate the skin and cause a rash. The new generation of ‘green’ laundry detergents is made from vegetable-based cleaning agents, do not contain artificial dyes or fragrances, are more effective at removing dirt, stains and odors from clothing, and are gentler to the environment and to the wearer.

If possible, stop the washing machine when it has filled the basin for the rinse cycle and add a cup of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle. The vinegar rinse will also brighten fabric colors and remove alkali residues from soaps and detergents. Let soak for an hour before completing the rinse cycle. To insure that all detergent has been rinsed from your clothing, select your washing machine’s extra rinse cycle if it has one and add nothing – just water – to this extra rinse.
Drying and Airing. Dry on a clothes line or clothes rack in the sunlight. Sunlight will help remove odors and smells but bright sunlight can cause dyes to fade. The line drying will also provide a final opportunity for clothes to air out. If you must dry in a clothes dryer, use a low temperature as high temperatures can actually cause any remaining odors to “set” into the fabric by bonding with fibers and dyes.
Repeat if necessary. Once through this process will effectively remove smells and irritants for most people. If your clothes still have bothersome odors or are chemically irritating, you can repeat the process.

There are some chemicals, such as formaldehyde, that are bonded tightly to the fabric. The conventional clothing manufacturer went to great effort to put that chemical in your easy-care fabric and they really don’t want it to come out easily. Repeated washings and airings will reduce the effects but it might take many washings and many days to reduce them to a level that is acceptable to you, especially if you are chemically sensitive. We strongly recommend avoiding conventional chemical clothing. Do the environment and yourself a favor and dress in natural and organic fabrics.

online search help ~

2011-07-06T14:34:00.002-04:00

The Basic search help article covers all the most common issues, but sometimes you need a little bit more power. This document will highlight the more advanced features of Google Web Search. Have in mind though that even very advanced searchers, such as the members of the search group at Google, use these features less than 5% of the time. Basic simple search is often enough. As always, we use square brackets [ ] to denote queries, so [ to be or not to be ] is an example of a query; [ to be ] or [ not to be ] are two examples of queries.

Phrase search ("")
By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. Google already uses the order and the fact that the words are together as a very strong signal and will stray from it only for a good reason, so quotes are usually unnecessary. By insisting on phrase search you might be missing good results accidentally. For example, a search for [ "Alexander Bell" ] (with quotes) will miss the pages that refer to Alexander G. Bell.

Search within a specific website (site:)
Google allows you to specify that your search results must come from a given website. For example, the query [ iraq site:nytimes.com ] will return pages about Iraq but only from nytimes.com. The simpler queries [ iraq nytimes.com ] or [ iraq New York Times ] will usually be just as good, though they might return results from other sites that mention the New York Times. You can also specify a whole class of sites, for example [ iraq site:.gov ] will return results only from a .gov domain and [ iraq site:.iq ] will return results only from Iraqi sites.

Terms you want to exclude (-)
Attaching a minus sign immediately before a word indicates that you do not want pages that contain this word to appear in your results. The minus sign should appear immediately before the word and should be preceded with a space. For example, in the query [ anti-virus software ], the minus sign is used as a hyphen and will not be interpreted as an exclusion symbol; whereas the query [ anti-virus -software ] will search for the words 'anti-virus' but exclude references to software. You can exclude as many words as you want by using the - sign in front of all of them, for example [ jaguar -cars -football -os ]. The - sign can be used to exclude more than just words. For example, place a hyphen before the 'site:' operator (without a space) to exclude a specific site from your search results.

Fill in the blanks (*)
The *, or wildcard, is a little-known feature that can be very powerful. If you include * within a query, it tells Google to try to treat the star as a placeholder for any unknown term(s) and then find the best matches. For example, the search [ Google * ] will give you results about many of Google's products (go to next page and next page -- we have many products). The query [ Obama voted * on the * bill ] will give you stories about different votes on different bills. Note that the * operator works only on whole words, not parts of words.

Search exactly as is (+)
Google employs synonyms automatically, so that it finds pages that mention, for example, childcare for the query [ child care ] (with a space), or California history for the query [ ca history ]. But sometimes Google helps out a little too much and gives you a synonym when you don't really want it. By attaching a + immediately before a word (remember, don't add a space after the +), you are telling Google to match that word precisely as you typed it. Putting double quotes around a single word will do the same thing.

The OR operator
Google's default behavior is to consider all the words in a search. If you want to specifically allow either one of several words, you can use the OR operator (note that you have to type 'OR' in ALL CAPS). For example, [ San Francisco Giants 2004 OR 2005 ] will give you results about either one of these years, whereas [ San Francisco Giants 2004 2005 ] (without the OR) will show pages that include both years on the same page. The symbol | can be substituted for OR. (The AND operator, by the way, is the default, so it is not needed.)

Learn about a few special search features to help you find exactly what you're looking for as quickly as possible.

Exceptions

Search is rarely absolute. Search engines use a variety of techniques to imitate how people think and to approximate their behavior. As a result, most rules have exceptions. For example, the query [ for better or for worse ] will not be interpreted by Google as an OR query, but as a phrase that matches a (very popular) comic strip. Google will show calculator results for the query [ 34 * 87 ] rather than use the 'Fill in the blanks' operator. Both cases follow the obvious intent of the query. Here is a list of exceptions to some of the rules and guidelines that were mentioned in this and the Basic Search Help article:

Exceptions to 'Every word matters'

Words that are commonly used, like 'the,' 'a,' and 'for,' are usually ignored (these are called stop words). But there are even exceptions to this exception. The search [ the who ] likely refers to the band; the query [ who ] probably refers to the World Health Organization -- Google will not ignore the word 'the' in the first query.

Synonyms might replace some words in your original query. (Adding + before a word disables synonyms.)

A particular word might not appear on a page in your results if there is sufficient other evidence that the page is relevant. The evidence might come from language analysis that Google has done or many other sources. For example, the query [ overhead view of the bellagio pool ] will give you nice overhead pictures from pages that do not include the word 'overhead.'

Punctuation that is not ignored

Punctuation in popular terms that have particular meanings, like [ C++ ] or [ C# ] (both are names of programming languages), are not ignored.

The dollar sign ($) is used to indicate prices. [ nikon 400 ] and [ nikon $400 ] will give different results.

The hyphen - is sometimes used as a signal that the two words around it are very strongly connected. (Unless there is no space after the - and a space before it, in which case it is a negative sign.)

The underscore symbol _ is not ignored when it connects two words, e.g. [ quick_sort ]

Tastebuds In The Lungs?

2011-06-16T13:51:00.000-04:00

New Findings May Mean Flavored Inhalers For Asthma Sufferers

Written by TeamDS
.

Everyone knows our taste buds are in our mouths. Now it turns out they may be in our lungs too. Research has led to a new discovery that there are "taste receptors" in lungs that respond to bitter substances.

The lung taste buds don't act like taste buds in our mouths. We can't actually taste anything with our lungs, and curiously, when lungs do respond to taste, they don't send any kind of signal to the brain. In the study by the University of Maryland, the airways of mice were "treated with bitter substances, then exposed to allergens." And then the mice lungs do something very curious and unexpected; the air passageways don't protectively contract or close up. Instead they open wide, as if they had been influenced by a drug for asthma. In fact, according to a researcher quoted by the BBC, they "opened the airway more profoundly" than any current used drug.

And this is why the findings are so interesting-- they may bring new options to traditional drug treatments for those suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. New treatments could use inhalers that have bitter substances in them "such as quinine or even saccharine, which has a bitter after-taste," for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Although the study is intriguing, and studies on mice can provide meaningful data, it's another step to see if human lungs react the same way. And this is the next step. And clearly it's an important step to take, as in many cases asthma drugs fail to effectively control the symptoms, leaving many millions of people suffering without recourse to what one day may be a simple and effective way open our airways.

Of course, in the research journey from mouse to human, other problems may arise that make the new treatment idea unfeasible. But this is exactly the kind of medical research that is worth supporting; something that if it works, may lead to kind of safer, more effective, and less expensive treatments that will allow millions of people to finally breathe a deep and happy sigh of relief.

Preventing Asthma Tip: There's a common drug in most of our medicine cabinets that can cause asthma or make it worse. If you have asthma attacks, you may wish to avoid using NSAIDS, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen.

Little Jimmy watched his Daddy's car pass by the school playground, and then go into the nearby woods. Curious, he followed, and he saw his Daddy and his Aunt Jane in the middle of a passionate embrace.

Little Jimmy found this so exciting, that he could hardly contain himself, as he ran home to tell his Mother. Mommy! Mommy! I was at the playground, and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods, with Aunt Jane. I went back to look, and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, and then he helped her take off her shirt and Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off. Right at that point, his Mother cut him off, and said to him, 'Jimmy, this is such an interesting story - save it for dinner time. I want to see the look on your Daddy's face when you tell it tonight.

Later, at the dinner table that evening, the Mother asked little Jimmy to tell his story.

Jimmy then started in: 'I was at the playground, and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods, with Aunt Jane. I went back to look, and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, and then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was away on the oil rigs.

The moral: Sometimes you just need to shut the fuck up, and listen to the whole story, instead of interrupting folks all the damn time!

WILLOW AS ANNIE!!!

2011-02-02T20:05:00.000-05:00

Overbrook Entertainment has teamed up with Jay-Z, Will and Jada Smith to produce an “Annie” vehicle that the superstar couple’s daughter Willow will star in.

“The time is right to bring back ‘Annie’ to the big screen,” said Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad (the film will be developed by Sony Pictures) in a statement. “Of course, we’re true believers in Willow’s talent and believe she will be perfect in this role. Combining Willow with the Overbrook team that re-imagined ‘Karate Kid’ and the spectacular Jay-Z makes this a dream project.”

Overbrook Entertainment, which was founded by partners James Lassiter and Will Smith. Jada, Will, James Lassiter [of Overbrook] and Jay-Z decided to co-invest in the now successful beauty products line Carol’s Daughter. They continued this partnership as co-producers of the successful Broadway production ‘Fela!’, which earned a total of eleven Tony Award nominations in 2010.” Lest you forget, Jay is the guy who signed Willow to his Roc Nation label, which produced her smash single, “Whip My Hair.” Not to mention that Jay himself has had success with sampling the “Annie” property to create his own single, “Hard Knock Life.” But the partnership isn’t stopping there – this team is also aiming to develop and produce other feature films.

Willow’s previous acting experience includes roles in “I Am Legend,” “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl,” “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” and “True Jackson, VP” — not to mention that she also has a hit record with last year’s single “Whip My Hair.”
Reps for the project wouldn’t confirm whether the new “Annie” would be set in contemporary times and include original songs, although it’s rumored that Jay-Z is working on the music (his 1998 tune “Hard Knock Life” included a chorus from the musical).

This isn’t the first time Will has produced movies for his kids. He developed last year’s “The Karate Kid” remake for his son Jaden.

WISDOM

2010-09-20T14:25:00.000-04:00

Ecclesiastes 7:11-25

11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun.

12 Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor.

13 Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what he has made crooked?

14 When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future.

15 In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: a righteous man perishing in his righteousness,
and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.

16 Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise — why destroy yourself?

17 Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool — why die before your time?

18 It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes.

19 Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful than ten rulers in a city.

20 There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.

21 Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you-
22 for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.

23 All this I tested by wisdom and I said, "I am determined to be wise" — but this was beyond me.

24 Whatever wisdom may be, it is far off and most profound — who can discover it?

25 So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness.

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

The Conclusion of the Matter

9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.

10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.

11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd.

12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.

13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.

These passages made perfect sense to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you find it to be a good read.

WHIP MY HAIR

2010-09-12T14:36:00.000-04:00

Jay-Z has found his newest project in Will Smith's daughter Willow. The 9-year-old, whose first single "Whip My Hair" is a huge hit on the Internet, has signed a record deal with Jay-Z's record company. "I heard the record first before I knew that it was recorded by a 9-year-old and I was like, 'man that record's a smash'," Jay told Ryan Seacrest. So is he worried that little Willow is too young for stardom? "When you have that sort of talent, there is no such thing as too young," he said Thursday. And he should know - Jay-Z, of course, also launched the career of super-songstress Rihanna.

Everyone get several sets of parents, though not everyone realizes it. The first set are simply the ones we're most strongly connected with, but teachers, mentors, friends and even our mates can offer a little parenting now and then. You should be pleased with someone who's working in that capacity now, and not just because they love you. They're more than happy to help you with the thing you need the most -- which is the one thing you don't yet know you need.

Minister Joe Wright

2010-05-05T08:13:00.001-04:00

This prayer was given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems prayer still upsets some people.. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed

our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it

the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it

welfare...

We have killed our unborn and called it

choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it

justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building

self esteem.....

We have abused power and called it

politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it

ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it

freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it

enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.

Amen!"

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India , Africa and Korea ..

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,'and
received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.

Former NFL player Isaiah Mustafa, whose fame has recently risen due to his popularity as the new face of Old Spice products was just given a role in Tyler Perry's much-buzzed-about film adaptation of 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf.'

While speaking to Oprah Winfrey via satellite about his newfound celebrity success over the commercials, Mustafa talked about auditioning for film parts, including one for an upcoming Tom Hanks movie, television pilots and Perry's upcoming film.

When he asked the reigning queen of daytime television to put in a good word with Perry, Mustafa was surprised when the filmmaker got on and stated, "I just want to tell you, you got the part, man. You did a great job. You got the part."

The Arizona State University alum joins the all-star roster, which already includes Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, Jurnee Smollett, Kimberly Elise, Kerry Washington, Loretta Devine,Macy Gray and Anika Noni Rose.

Based on Ntozake Shange's award-winning 1975 play, the film is scheduled to shoot in June in New York with a possible winter 2010 release date.

After playing for various teams in the NFL, Mustafa appeared on episodes of 'Castle,' 'Days of Our Lives', 'Eli Stone,' 'Football Wives', 'NCIS,' 'NCIS: Los Angeles' and 'Ugly Betty.'

According to Advertising Age, the Old Spice "I'm on a Horse" commercial -- in which the 36-year-old Mustafa appears -- saw some 1.6 million views in the two weeks after it debuted during the Super Bowl.

How health care reform will impact you...

2010-03-24T10:49:00.002-04:00

While this bill does not contain everything we wanted or needed, it is a great step toward creating a better America. This day has been a long time coming. All the way back to President Teddy Roosevelt, our nation has been trying to create more health care fairness for its citizens. Now, history and destiny intersect.

This bill is about affordability, insurability, and accountability. It is intended to address the fact that 1 in 5 African Americans, 1 in 3 Hispanics, and 1 in 10 Whites do NOT have health insurance today.

PRICE TAG. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says the bill will cost $940 billion over 10 years.

SAVINGS. According to new CBO estimates, the measure will save $143 billion 2019, and reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion in the second ten years.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE COVERED. 32 million uninsured people will be insured when coverage begins in 2014. Although not universal coverage, 95 percent of Americans will have health coverage, as opposed to 83 percent today.

EXCHANGES. Starting in 2014, the uninsured, small businesses and self-employed individuals can select coverage through state-run exchanges, pools that provide the same types of purchasing power as big corporations. Undocumented immigrants are not allowed to participate in the exchanges, even if they pay for it entirely from their own funds.

REFORMS. Insurance companies cannot deny children coverage based on a preexisting condition six months after passage. Beginning in 2014, insurance companies may not deny coverage to anyone with a preexisting condition. Children can stay on their parent's insurance plans through age 26. Insurance companies are barred from arbitrarily dropping policy holders. In addition, insurers must spend at least 85 cents of every premium dollar on medical care in small group markets, and 80 cents in large group markets. Medicare Advantage plans are required to spend at least 85 percent of revenues on medical care.

ABORTION RESTRICTIONS. No health plan would be required to offer abortion coverage. Private insurance premium funds that pay for abortions are segregated from taxpayer money. As a gesture to anti-abortion Democrats who threatened to vote against the bill, a White House executive order extends the Hyde Amendments restrictions on abortion to the newly-created health insurance exchanges.

MANDATES. Nearly everyone is required to purchase insurance or pay a $695 annual fine. Low-income people are exempt. This feature takes effect in 2014. Although an employer mandate does not exist, employers with over 50 workers will be fined $2000 per employee per year.

SUBSIDIES. People who make between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level will be eligible for subsidies to purchase insurance. Premiums for a family of four making $44,000 would have a cap of about 6 percent of income.

REVENUE SOURCES. The plan will be paid for with a 10 percent tax on indoor tanning services; a Medicare payroll tax of 3.8 percent for families earning over $250,000 and individuals making over $200,000; and a 40 percent tax paid by insurance companies on plans over $27,500 for families and $10,200 for individuals.

MEDICAID. The government health insurance program for poor Americans would be available to everyone with incomes up to 133 percent of the poverty level, which is $10,830 for an individual and $22,050 for a family of four.

MEDICARE. This legislation cuts $500 billion in Medicare over ten years, and closes the Medicare prescription drug donut hole by 2020. Seniors who are hit the donut hole gap in coverage by 2010 will receive a $250 rebate. In 2011, such people will receive a 50 percent discount on brand name drugs.

STUDENT LOANS. The health care legislation has eliminated banks and private lenders as middlemen in the federally-guaranteed student loan market, for a savings of $60 billion over ten years. This means more money for Pell grants and HBCUs.

PUBLIC OPTION. A government-run insurance plan, although popular, is missing in the measure. This was due to a lack of will in Congress. Consumers who purchase health insurance through national exchanges could purchase private and nonprofit plans through a federal agency that oversees the Congressional health plans. However, Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D, Nevada) promises a vote on the public option in the coming months. A public option could save an additional $110 billion over 10 years. Meanwhile, a single-payer system, a truly universal, government-run system in which one agency finances the nations health care could save the U.S. over $350 billion annually.

snow + apocalypse = snowpocalypse

2010-02-13T02:16:00.014-05:00

SNOWPOCALYPSE -- A weather condition in which the amount of fallen snow, while not really such a big deal, wreaks havoc on a city (not use to snow), effectively shutting it down and leaving its citizens stunned and unable to see any sign of hope or a return to normalcy. It's perceived much like the aftermath of a nuclear event, but really... it's just snow!!

It is true -- 1 drop of rain brings this city to a standstill! Well -- 1 drop of rain - 1 drop of anthrax - 1 single snowflake - or if the sun is sitting at the hypotenuse of Federal Triangle adjacent Pennsylvania Avenue in da morning before 8am - all brings this city to a standstill but that’s beside the point. In this case – I’m actually going to stand up for the city. The past two weeks were horrible.

When I hear thunder – I expect rain – NOT SNOW! I mean – what do you call that “Thundersnow”? They say the wind reached 50-70mph. That’s not a blizzard – that’s a flurricane! LMAO – now that was funny (farce)! But if you know me -- than you know I wasn't going take this laying down... Being the Alpha Male that I am (nosy) I decide that was going to go see what all the fuss was about. (this version of the story sounds so much better than the way it actually went down) Just as I got outside Jack Frost decides to become a comedian. (Black Ice -- need I say more) Yeah that hurt but if I could just make it to the warmth of my vehichle. I made it! Although hurt'n -- I needed to drive around the block to quench my curiosity. Okay - im on the road "bumpy" turn on some heat -- defroster rear & front *CRAAAAACKED* (WTF) YELP -- YOU GUESS'D IT -- MY ENTIRE WINDSHIELD!

Before the storm started some friends and I decided that we were going to have a snow party (you know who you are) well that never happened and I was disappointed. But you can’t keep a good man down – and Cabin Fever is just not my thing! So in the middle of the night I called my drank’n buddy and ask’d him to come join me (a true friend). Once he arrived the party started and we drove to pick up two others. Old Man Winter would not get the best of me. I’m buzzed – happy – talk’n loud – try’n to out talk or louder than err body – defying Mother Nature and the “Old Man” – ssshhhhhhhut up...!!! I know the POWER did not just go out!

But it's ALL JOOD!!! I had a new windshield installed...

In most cases, "Snowpocalypse" is really the panicked reaction of the citizens and NOT the actual snow that makes the situation worthy of the title. Well not this time… It was outta control! Now I am driving to St. Elsewhere with 5 friends in stow. In case you're wondering exactly where is St. Elsewhere located -- it is that place when your power just went out and you don't know where in the hell your gonna go and you're running & running to get to "somewhere" and Jack Frost all up in your ear "Remember Me..." but all you want to do is get into your car, a cab, or cubby hole but you can't get there quick enough -- you can't run fast enough cause it hurts -- you're screaming inside but the only thing coming out is oooohhh-whoooo (deep voice) and you can't hear or see where you're going and forgot from where you came and why!

THIS IS THE ROAD TO "St. Elsewhere!!! Have you been there...???

My friends from “snow states” are laughing at us and saying, “Oh those poor Washingtonians can’t handle a little snow.” I agree - - DC isn't ready for much of nothing - but you gotta admit that 40inches at once is a lot of damn snow no matter where you from! And that was only part 1.

People HATE Hummers and LOVE "little cars" but my truck was Snowtorious B.I.G during this weather. Now don't get me wrong -- I'm all for saving the environment and fuel efficiency but none of those people I pulled out to safty seemed to mind that I wasn't in a "Smart Car!"

Driving around was crazy – I felt like I was in a scene from Narnia. Some people abandoned their cars and ran for the hills. We saw cars & trucks coming towards us facing the wrong way. People were stuck in ditches, stuck in snowbanks or stuck on a Jersey barrier / wall.

Okay -- how exactly did the snow plow get stuck on the Jersey wall??? HOW?

Snowpocalypse!

Snowmageddon!

Snowtorious B.I.G

Whatever you prefer to call it -- I WAS HERE!!!

Michael Jackson Unmasked

2010-02-12T10:01:00.001-05:00

The 'King of Pop's' full autopsy report was just released, and it reveals some information that has and has not been made public before in the media.

According to the Los Angeles County Coroner's 51-page report, regarding Michael Jackson's untimely June 25th passing, his death is now officially labeled a homicide. The report also went on to state the following:

--We all know that Jackson died of "acute propofol intoxication." But did you know that an anesthesioliogist was hired as a consultant and summarized, that there were "no reports of its use in insomnia relief?" The consultant also went on to state in the report, that the "recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was not present. The standard of care for administering propofol was not met."

--There was speculation and denials that Jackson had the skin pigmentation disorder vitiligo. The report confirms that the singer did in fact have the disease and was covered with patches on his face, chest, abdomen and arms.

--Jackson wore a wig. A section of skin above his left ear was totally bald, due to 1984 accident when his hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi ad. His sparse, short, dark, curly hair was sewn & “connected to a wig”!

--Right on the tip of the pop idol's nose was a bandage.

--Jackson had scars everywhere on his body: face, legs, shoulders, arms, neck even behind his ears.

--He apparently had a few tattoos, both eyebrows and a small pink one near his lips.

--A total of 13 "puncture wounds" were found on Jackson's body -- on the right side of his neck, both arms and both ankles. Michael Jackson had several broken ribs as frantic rescuers pumped his chest after he collapsed in cardiac arrest. Four injection sites were also found above or near to Jackson’s heart which appeared to be the result from attempts to pump adrenaline directly into heart in a failed bit to restart it.

Three of the injections had penetrated the heart wall - causing damage — but a fourth missed and hit one of the 50-year-old star’s ribs.
The autopsy report also found unexplained bruising on Micahel Jackson’s knees and on the fronts of both shins. And there were cuts on his back, indicating a recent fall.

--In addition to propofol, the autopsy stated, the 50-year-old had a host of drugs flowing through his body--lidocaine, diazepam, nordiazepam, lorazepam, midazolam and ephedrine.

--Unfortunately, Jackson was battling quite a few medical problems at the time of death--"chronic lung inflammation, respiratory bronchiolitis, diffuse congestion and patchy hemorrhage of right and left lungs."

--The coroner also reported finding a closed bottle of urine on a chair in the bedroom, where the singer died, along with a box of catheters, disposable needles, alcohol pads, several empty orange juice bottles, a string of wooden beads and a green oxygen tank.

--At the time of death, the world's greatest entertainer weighed a mere 136 pounds and was 5'9" in height. Jackson was categorized as "thin" on the report.

Dr. Conrad Murray, who was Jackson's personal physician was charged with involuntary manslaughter on Monday. The cardiologist, who was with the singer when he passed away, pleaded not guilty and faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

2010-01-25T10:51:00.002-05:00

We tend to rank sin in order of severity, but God doesn't. In Proverbs 6 there is a list of things God despises. Included on that list are lying and sowing discord among brothers. Ever lied before?

We are all in need of saving. We are all in need of a Savior!

1 John 1:8 (New International Version)

(8)If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

Signs of a STROKE!

2010-01-24T17:55:00.001-05:00

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS..

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.... If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

Is Harry Reid a Racist?

2010-01-12T13:11:00.005-05:00

I am an educated and intelligent "Dark Skin 'd Black Man" who is proud of whom I am and very comfortable in my skin. We as Black People have our own way of communicating which can only be interpreted by us. Our own secret language so to speak. We communicate through gestures, body language, looks, and what many call slang. To me that makes us very diverse and intelligent. It is amazing that we can sit in a room full of people and communicate without having to say a word. It is a vibe - and cannot be taught. However, we MUST be intelligent enough to know when to switch it up. Regardless of your race or background - you cannot go into an interview representing your set (wearing colors) and speaking the language of "da hood!"

I remember how excited I was and how it felt to have graduated, to have a degree, and to have a high expectation - I was on Cloud 9. I also remember how it felt to be educated, with a degree and wearing an expensive suit but could not land a job. I felt like an educated dummy! It was a "white" friend who said, "Man it is your teeth!" My immediate thought was hell no - that can't be it! I use to have eight permanent gold teeth. Determined to be successful I took my friends advice - went to the dentist and had all but two removed and replaced with crowns. Guess what...?!? Yelp, I had jobs chasing me. My friend wasn't being racist by telling me the truth. He was being a friend by telling me that although "intelligent" I was "too black" for mainstream America. It is my opinion that [I -- we] don't know Harry Reid personally enough to say he is racist. He very well may be racist deep down in the secret department of his heart. I do not judge him. I was not offended by his comment although it can be taken offensively. I looked past how he phrased his comment and understood as, "America has a color problem and always will."

During the 2008 presidential election, Hillary used Obama's race against him in a multitude of contexts, like trying to associate him with "bad black people" like Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Minister Louis Farrakhan. We also remember when Hillary's husband Bill went to South Carolina and compared Obama's chances of winning to Jesse Jackson's 1984 Presidential campaign- effectively arguing that America is not ready for a black president. What this effectively says is that being "too black" is not acceptable in American politics.

America still sticks with "acceptable forms of blackness." I think people sometimes forget what diversity actually means. For every Harvard Professor who speaks proper English, there is an intelligent brother from "da hood" who communicates in an entirely different way.

As we near the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we have a unique opportunity to address what it means to act, speak or look "too black." Most of us know that Harry Reid's words have some truth to them, so we can either explore the issue thoroughly or attempt to kill the messenger.

The Best and Worst Beers for Your Belly

2010-01-05T14:28:00.006-05:00

Beer and wine both have a lot of magical effects on the body, both positive and negative. If you can limit yourself to one or two a day, then you can get the health benefits without too many extra calories—if you choose wisely. Here's a rundown of what you're really getting each time you reach for a cold one.

Beers are judged based on calories and carbohydrate content...

The following beers are listed as the 5 Worst Beers in 2009.

#5 Redhook ESB
179 calories
14 grams carbohydrates
5.8 percent alcohol

If you’re hooked on this beer, make sure to stick with just one.

#4 Budweiser American Ale
182 calories
18 grams carbohydrates
5.3 percent alcohol

There’s no way around it: Once you start to pound this beer, that’s exactly what you’ll end up with: more pounds.

#3 Samuel Adams Winter Lager
200 calories
14 grams carbohydrates
5.8 percent alcohol

Yes, it's delicious. But drink two of these and you’ll be consuming the calorie-equivalent of a small meal—such as a McDouble burger from McDonald’s.

#2 Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss
207 calories
28 grams carbohydrates
4.7 percent alcohol

For a 12-ounce serving, this Wisconsin brew has calories and carbs up the Leinenkugel.

#1 The Worst Beer for Your Belly: Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale
330 calories
32 grams carbohydrates
9.6 percent alcohol

If you’re serious about losing your gut, you should avoid this brew.

While research does shows that one to two drinks a day can be part of a smart eating plan, this beer packs two to three times more calories than a glass of wine (around 120 calories) or a bottle of light beer (about 100 calories).

Making the list for "The Best Beer for Your Belly" in2009:

MGD 64
64 calories

The SENSITIVE Man

2009-12-18T13:10:00.001-05:00

A woman meets a man in a bar.

They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together.

They get back to his place,
and he shows her around his apartment.

She notices that one wall of his
bedroom is completely filled with
soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears.

There are three shelves in the
bedroom, with hundreds and
hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy
bears carefully placed in rows,
covering the entire wall!

It was obvious that he had taken
quite some time to lovingly arrange
them and she was immediately touched
by the amount of thought he had
put into organizing the display.

There were small bears all along
the bottom shelf,

medium-sized bears covering the
length of the middle shelf,

and huge, enormous bears running
all the way along the top shelf.

She found it strange for an obviously
masculine guy to have such a large
collection of Teddy Bears..

She is quite impressed by his sensitive
side but doesn't mention this to him.

They share a bottle of wine and continue
talking and, after awhile, she finds herself
thinking,

'Oh my God! Maybe, this guy
could be the one!

Maybe he could be the future
father of my children?'

She turns to him and kisses him
lightly on the lips.

He responds warmly.
They continue to kiss, the passion
builds, and he romantically lifts her
in his arms and carries her into his
bedroom where they rip off each other's
clothes and make hot, steamy, passionate love.

She is so overwhelmed that she responds
with more passion, more creativity, more
heat than she has ever known.

After an intense, explosive night
of raw passion with this sensitive guy,
they are lying there together in the afterglow.

The woman rolls over, gently
strokes his chest and asks coyly,

'Well, how was it?'

The guy gently smiles at her,
strokes her cheek,
looks deeply into her eyes,

and says:

'Help yourself to any prize
from the middle shelf.'

FELA

2009-12-04T09:46:00.012-05:00

The new musical based on the life of African composer and activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti comes to Broadway....an Off-Broadway hit in 2008.

Enter the extravagant, decadent, rebellious world of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo - Kuti. A provocative hybrid of concert, dance and musical theatre, "FELA!" features arrangements by Aaron Johnson and Antibalas with direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Bill T. Jones.

Critics were largely enthusiastic about the Off-Broadway production. Bloomberg News called it "electric and eclectic, exotic and hypnotic, at once overpowering and empowering." And the New York Times, despite some qualms, called it "nigh impossible to resist"

May be inappropriate for 12 and under due to strong language and adult subject matter. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre...

*** I would love to get a group to go see this early 2010. Lemme know if you are interested (you know how to contact me) otherwise - I will tell you all about it!

ticket prices: $53.00 - $120.00

$82,000 -- WTF???

2009-12-02T15:37:00.008-05:00

This is sad... in every way!

I could care less if Serena is Black, White, or Hindu - it doesn't matter. She is a "HUMAN" who, in the heat of the moment became angry and allowed her emotions to get the best of her. John McEnroe said that her actions were inexcusable! First of all -- John McEnroe!!! (enough said)

Any athlete doing battle to win a tournament or an event deserve to be angry when losing. Serena doesn't enjoy losing and neither should you! We all have competed in something in life before and can accept losing - because it is a fact of life - but can you lose with dignity & pride while knowing that you've been cheated...??? The question was asked would you want your kids to look up to her. Y E S ! This one outburst doesn't define her as a person or the legacy she will leave in the tennis world. Have you ever been to a pro event or a grand slam? Have you sat in the crowd to witness the ugly and harsh things that are yelled out at our athletes (black, white, asian etc.)? Have you ever been called spick, wetback, chink, cracker, monkey and had bananas thrown at you while in the midst of your event? What would you do - would you smile - would you become angry or would you be like Serena and most of our PROFESSIONAL athletes who hold they're composure and continue to serve up a can of whoop-assz!?! We must stop holding athletes at such a high standard as if they are immortals and immune to every day trials and tribulations. They are HUMANS who just so happen to be very good at what they do. It is not the athletes who need to change - it is "WE" who need to change. So yes, I'd advise my two daughters to look up to the Williams Sisters -- be about your business, stand firm in your beliefs and don't except undo sh*t from others. When you compete in this game called LIFE - believe in yourself - believe you are the best - hold your head high and step out there knowing you can not be defeated.

Stop blaming Richard for the way he raised his children. He prepared them for what was to come. Richard taught his daughters how to perform under extreme pressure! He told them that they were the best and it is my strong belief that many more parents should be telling their kids that they are the best.

Let's re-focus to the REAL problem at hand... Serena & Venus were the only female athletes participating in the US Open to be repeatedly called for "Foot Faults". YES Sereana does foot fault and should be called for it. We are not discussing or debating does she foot fault -- but did she foot fault at that moment. NO SHE DID NOT! Why is this important? It is an important fact because that wrong call not only caused her to lose the match but it is the reason we are here today discussing this matter.

During this "TIRADE" (some of you should look up the exact meaning of tirade -- Tirade Definition Definition of Tirade at Dictionary.com) if you listen closely - amongst other things, you will also hear Serena say, "You Better Be Right"! (instant replay proved the line judge to be wrong) Let's not make this a Black vs White issue, but let's make it a fairness issue. IS THIS FAIR? NO! These girls have endured a lot! Some of you - esp. "Peaches" have short memories or selective memories.

Serena and her sister have always been in the center of unjust controversy -- look it up for yourself! Can you remember this "TIRADE"?

Officials apologize to Serena for bad call.Umpire dismissed from US Open after mistake in Williams loss to Capriati. “I called Serena,” said Arlen Kantarian, the Chief Executive of Professional Tennis. “I apologized for the call, the overrule — which was a clear mistake — and told her how important she was to the U.S. Open, how she was a class act and how well she handled the situation last night. “She was very appreciative of the call.” (okay - she was appreciative of the call but did they give her the win or pay her $82,000 for holding her composure? Did anyone apologize to the fans - what about the children who look up to her???)

U.S. Open Tournament Director Jim Curley said, “It was a mistake but she is a very experienced umpire and mistakes get made out there." WTF???

Later in the final set, replays showed at least two other incorrect calls that went against Williams. WTF???

“I’m very angry and bitter right now. I felt cheated. Shall I go on? I just feel robbed,” she said, managing to laugh. “At first, I thought it was another "Wimbledon Conspiracy” where here Sister Venus lost in the second round that summer at Wimbledon after Karolina Sprem was mistakenly awarded an extra point in the final-set tiebreaker. Venus did not contest the call, and later - chair umpire Ted Watts was tossed out of the tournament. Should Venus have been awarded the title or better yet $82,000 for acting "Lady Like"? Did anyone apologize to the fans - what about the children who look up to her???

Why are rules not equal? Why is it a violation for one and not the other...? i.e. Dinara Safina foot faulted 11 times that was recorded and replayed on TV and she was not called for 1. As a matter of fact - almost every time she serves it is a foot fault. Her right leg crosses the center line nearly every time - which is a foot fault. Someone said that if a pro basketball player threatened an official that they would be suspended for 1yr and fined. I agree - they would be ejected and penalized. The decision will be handed out swiftly - not debated upon for months. WTF??? Also does anyone know how those #'s were calculated and how did they come up with the total fine amount? Or did all of the cheaters on the committee decide that $82,000 divided amongst one another will be great "Stocking Stuffers"? I mean who does this fine benefit -- and isn't it kind of ironic that it happened just before Christmas? Why didn't he just say, "Hey Serena - my son needs tuition to go to Princeton - can you help? Oh great - - thanks - - we except direct deposit by the way!

Can anyone see the pattern? All of these mistakes that just happens to only happen to the Williams Sisters? So please don't sit on your highness and be so swift to judge -- and for all of you saying, "it's only $82,000 -- she can afford it" WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU FROM...???

I will end with this... THIS IS WRONG!

"You don't know me! You better be right!"

2009-10-20T14:54:00.002-04:00

Serena Williams has been listed as a headliner for this year's Australian Open. The problem is that it's not clear whether she'll be allowed to play.

Because of a recent outburst in which she threatened a line judge, Williams may be banned from at least one Grand Slam tournament. According to published reports, Williams told the judge, "You don't know me. You better be right. I swear to God I'm going to take this ball and shove it down your throat."Given that a ball going down your throat might actually kill you, the judge felt that Serena had threatened her life. Then again, Serena's from Compton, a town that has become famous for finding creative ways to kill people. Serena does not, however, need to take "the hood" with her all the way to Australia.

To make matters more interesting, Serena recently got naked for the cover of ESPN magazine, certifying her status as an iconic and thought-provoking figure for the early 21st century. These two events, plus the fact that she just happens to be one of the most dominant female tennis players in history, makes her the kind of woman we'll all be talking about for the next 100 years. Our great-grandkids won't be talking much about the boring apolitical figure called Michael Jordan. We'll congratulate Tiger Woods for being the first incredibly rich black man to consistently beat the crap out of the arrogant guys at the country club. Serena Williams' name, though, will come up in classes on feminist theory, history and sociology. Like Muhammad Ali, Serena is becoming bigger than her sport, and my greatest hope is that her ability to transcend tennis is guided by a desire to serve all humanity, and not just herself. Her nude body on the cover of ESPN is her way of yelling to the world that she is more than a tennis player. I agree that she is.

Someone asked me if I think that race plays a role in the banning of Serena Williams. I say, absolutely, yes, but not in the way you may imagine. You see, race and racism permeate the fabric of our society and play a powerful role in our perceptions, actions and attitudes. Even things that appear to have nothing to do with race end up having everything to do with race.

Those who dislike Serena do not hate her for having black skin, they hate her for "acting black." The cultural norms and attitudes that Serena carries as a black woman are heavily influenced by her Compton upbringing. Serena's strong response to the official might be inappropriate to the majority of non-black Americans, but many African Americans might be more likely to understand or forgive her seemingly aggressive behavior. (My mama threatened to kill me quite a few times growing up.) This does not, in any way, imply that misbehaving is "a black thing," (we all saw John McEnroe) or that black people are more aggressive. It simply says that the method for handling disputes might vary across cultural lines.

Those who know nothing about Serena's background are not going to understand Serena and will thus disapprove of some of her behavior. Human nature dictates that we tend to dislike those who are different, which is why the officials end up hating Serena. Even before the incident took place, many officials had already found the behavior of the Williams sisters to be unacceptable, similar to the way a white school teacher from the suburbs is five times more likely to decide that a black male student has a behavioral disorder. The truth is that the world has never seen a woman like Serena Williams, and it probably never will again.

I congratulate Serena for her boldness and expression of independent thought. Simultaneously, I encourage her to show a bit more discipline on the court, since there is no need to "get gangsta" with a line judge - although the call was WRONG!

I can't believe that they are actually considering banning Serena. Let's be honest and clear - THIS IS A MATTER OF RACE! Does she deserve to be punished for her actions - YES.

Serena Williams was fined $10,000 for her actions at the end of her semifinal loss to Kim Clijsters at the U.S. Open.

The amount is the largest fine that is allowed to be issued by a Grand Slam tournament for unsportsmanlike conduct. She was also fined an additional $500 for racquet abuse at the conclusion of the first set.

If that isn't punishment -- I don't know what is...! So for those of you saying she will be made an example of -- you are absolutly correct. They are about to show they're "True Colors"!

The Other Stall

2009-04-13T08:47:00.006-04:00

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN 2 U...!

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying:
"Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom. I don't know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed,
"Doin' just fine!"

And the other person says:
"So what are you up to?"

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
"Uhhh, I'm like you, just sitting here."

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question:
"Can I come over?"

Ok, this question is just too weird for me. I figured I could politely end the conversation. I say:
"No........I'm a little busy right now!!!"

Then I hear the person say, nervously:
"Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!"

During the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII, the world was given an all access pass into Janet Jackson's wardrobe. At the end of the performance of Timberlake's "Rock Your Body," he was supposed to rip Janet's bustier and leave her red lace bra intact but of course, things didn't go according to plan and Janet was instead stripped down to a lone pasty.

The "wardrobe" malfunction stirred so much controversy that it earned Janet a place in the Guinness book of world records as "The Most Searched in Internet History" -- surpassing even searches for the September 11th attacks.

Although I was pleasantly surprised - I saw it as a humorous, awful disaster. Within hours later the rumors started – was this a “PLANNED” mistake…? hmm -- well let’s dig a little deeper. If you look at the close-up below you see that it is clear how her nipple ornament is affixed. Also -- where is the bra...? If you noticed in the picture above - she has on a red bra -- how did the right side of her bra magically break away... yelp - not torn - not ripp'd - not a sign of shredded fabric - just snached clean off... (things that make you go hmmmm)

The exposure of Jackson's nipple shield led to much media controversy and headlines. Media watchdog group Parents Television Council issued a statement that same day condemning the halftime show, announcing that their members would file indecency complaints with the FCC and the council supported the FCC's decision to investigate the halftime show immediately.In addition, the FCC received nearly 540,000 complaints from Americans, with the PTC claiming responsibility for around 65,000 of them.

If that isn't enough a woman filed a federal lawsuit seeking billions of dollars for herself and her family who watched the halftime show for their "outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury".

Have "WE" as Americans gotten that shallow and desperate? I have done a lot of things in my life but I can honestly say that I have never been angry, embarrassed, or seriously injured by a BOOB...! This "Wardrobe Mishap" happened in 2004, but unbeknown to most of us -- the case was pending since 2004 and has just recently been thrown out of court.

Let's get real here. Yeah, Janet was trying to grab the spotlight to hype her new Damita Jo album -- So what?! The world comes screeching to a halt because of a one-second peek-a-boob? But a federal investigation? Let’s talk about a misuse of taxpayer’s money. Nobody remembers how good the game was or how many yards Tom Brady rushed for to barely beat the Carolina Panther 32-29."
Many have forgotten that there was a streaker running around the field nearly-naked except for some writing on his body which read "SUPER BOWEL" and an advertisement for online betting website - whom later complained, "If she hadn't done that I would have been front page material

Only in America was there such an uproar and Public negative reaction. In Canada, and abroad where the show was broadcast the incident passed largely without controversy. As we all know every action demands a reaction. The aftermath and effects of this stunt has caused more censorship and regulation of broadcasting. So I just want to say Stank You Miss Jackson and the next time you are invited to perform at a half time show – we demand that you dress appropriately --

Apparently -- not EVERYONE was outraged by this event. As a matter of fact it has sparked a slew of Copycat Exposers…

-- I take back what I said earlier -- im mad at that breast...!

Not to be outdone by the likes of Hilary or Condoleezza Rice, Janet and Justine Timberlake took their show on the road. After completing their final SuperBowl Tour appearance in Paris they released this statement, "If you want something done right the first time - do it yourself!"

Good Luck Getting Around D.C. On Inauguration Day

2009-01-07T12:46:00.001-05:00

On a typical weekday, hundreds of thousands of people commute to the nation's capital, snarling roads and packing subway trains and buses during peak hours.

Imagine multiplying that several times for Barack Obama's inauguration Jan. 20.

"I don't want in any way to discourage anyone," said the District of Columbia's city administrator, Dan Tangherlini. "I just don't want them to come and be completely shocked by what they find."

It won't be pleasant, Tangherlini and other officials say.

The Washington area's transit system is telling passengers to expect extraordinarily long lines for trains and buses. Airports will be bustling with extra flights. Traffic could be at a standstill as motorists cope with street and bridge closings. Those who do manage to arrive in Washington will find limited parking.

"Pack your patience" is the advice from Corinne Geller, a Virginia State Police spokeswoman.

Amtrak is expanding service between Boston and Washington on Inauguration Day. Southwest Airlines is adding 26 flights to and from the region between Jan. 17 and Jan. 23. Delta Air Lines and its subsidiary, Northwest Airlines, are adding more than 5,000 seats Jan. 16 and Jan. 21 by using larger aircraft on existing flights. Airport officials say they will add staff to help guide travelers.

Virginia State Police plan to bring troopers from across the state to monitor expected gridlock outside Washington, Geller said. Maryland transportation officials are urging truck drivers and other commercial drivers to avoid the area.

Major bridges into the city, such as the Roosevelt, Memorial and inbound Key bridges, will be open only to buses and official inaugural traffic, Tangherlini said. A complete list of road closures will be released early this week, according to the Secret Service.

Prepare for the unexpected, authorities and inaugural organizers say.

"We also recommend developing backup plans in case your original travel plans need to be changed at the last minute," the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies said in a recent advisory.

Given the impending headaches, some would-be revelers are staying home.

Larry Froneyberger of Atlanta planned to pick up his 68-year-old grandmother, Francine, from High Point, N.C., on his way to the inauguration. They were going to stay in Baltimore and take the train into Washington.

She was excited about the prospect of witnessing the first black president, especially because she grew up during a time when that seemed impossible, Froneyberger said. But with her slow stride due to foot surgery last year, the transportation situation was too overwhelming.

"It's going to be a lot of waiting and she was like, 'I just can't do it,'" Froneyberger said.

Even cab drivers are thinking twice about working that day, said William J. Wright, president of the Taxicab Industry Group in Washington.

Wright said he has driven his cab during past inaugurations—including John F. Kennedy's—but based on what he's hearing, he expects gridlock for this one to be the worst.

"I don't see how a cab driver can make any money, to be honest with you, because he can't go anywhere," he said.

Others are willing to brave it, despite the many inconveniences.

Tony Vincent of northeast Washington said he will take the subway into Union Station, where he shines shoes. Depending on how many people step on his shoes on the packed train, he may need a polish of his own, he said.

"I know it's going to be crazy," he said. "It might be a little uncomfortable."

While government workers are off that day, some sectors are requiring employees to show up.

Nicholas Ramfos, who heads Commuter Connections, a nonprofit group that coordinates commuter programs in Washington, is recommending that employers allow workers to telecommute or shift their hours outside of peak inaugural travel time.

Besides biking or public transport, he suggests people take a look at his group's car pool list to find others who work or live near them.

For some people, leaving the city isn't an option.

Emily Durso, president of the Hotel Association of Washington, D.C., said hotels will be fully staffed, with many people working multiple shifts. Her group represents 97 hotels in Washington, and she said a number of them plan to set up cots for employees at the hotels or in empty apartments.

"We've never had anything like this," she said. "It's just a whole different animal in many ways."

WITH STUPIDITY -- ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

2008-11-10T14:08:00.002-05:00

This letter has been sent to you to stop you from sending out chain letters. The original was written in the 3rd century A.D. by a deranged member of the Most Holy Post. That version vanished during the Spanish Inquisition (Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!!!!!!!). More recently, it was communicated telepathically to Shirley MacLaine by monks on the planet Mongo in the eighth dimension. Now it has been sent to you. Good things will soon be happening to you if you follow the instructions given in this letter.

This is no joke!

If you do what this letter says to do, every person who owes you money will repay you. The IRS will never audit you again. Oprah will invite you to her house to sit at the pool while Rachael Ray is serving up some Pomegranate Martini's.

To get your good fortune rolling, you must keep this letter for the next five years. If at any time during that time you receive a chain letter, don't send out any copies of it. Instead, you must send this anti-chain letter back to the person who sent you the chain letter. At the end of five years you must do the following 'de-briefing' ceremony:

Throw salt over your shoulder.
Throw salt over your momma's shoulder.
Throw your momma over your shoulder.
Walk under a ladder.
Pray the rosary.
Pray the zippity-doo-dah, zippity-ay.

Mix 2 frogs, 3 locks of Michael Jackson's hair, 2 turtledoves, and the remains of this letter in a cauldron and boil at 375 degrees for 2 hours and 3 minutes. Place the whole mixture in the microwave on saute for 6:53 and place in serving bowls, then chill. Gargle, then spit.

DO NOT IGNORE THIS LETTER OR SOMEDAY YOU WILL DEFINITELY DIE…!

“WHAT IF”

2008-10-29T12:54:00.002-04:00

I am kind of tired of people saying that this election has nothing to do with race – when in fact it has everything to do with the color of Obama’s skin. We think that we have come “so far” in America – but the sad reality is that in the US we’ve been taught the political correctness game and we’ve learned to “MASK” or “SUPPRESS” our true feelings when it comes to sensitive matters or to those that are different than us…

This is what racism does… It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative characteristics in another when there is a color difference.

-- THE FACTS --

Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in
International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899

Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism

Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest
offices in the land as well as our standing in the world.

Let’s switch things around and use the “WHAT IF” scenario to see what it would look like –be your own judge…

• What if the Obama’s had paraded five children across the stage, following the debate, including a three month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

• What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

• What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his college graduating class?

• What if McCain had only married once and Obama was a divorcee?

• What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?

• What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

• What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

• What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

• What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

• What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?

• What if Obama was the one who was known to publicly display a serious anger management problem?

• What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?

You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected a reality or if the tables were turned, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?

What if things were switched around? Would the
country's collective point of view be different?

OH SNAP

2008-10-17T11:54:00.000-04:00

First known usage was by the 1980's rap song "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie. Its a "rated G" way of saying "oh shit"

"So I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin’ my girl in the mouth,
I was so in shock my heart went down south
So please listen to the message that I say
Don’t ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend"!

OH SNAP -- (exclamatory phrase) a playful indication of surprise, misfortune, or insult -- popularized by Tracy Morgan of Saturday Night Live -- OH SNAP is seemingly derivative of oh no you didn't...!

Watch this clip and half way through you're gonna say; "OH SCHNAPP" LMAO

WHO'S BADONKADONK IS THAT...???

2008-10-16T00:05:00.001-04:00

ba-donka-donk --

An ‘ebonic’ expression for an extremely curvaceous female behind. Women who possess this feature usually have a small waist that violently explodes into round and juicy posterior (e.g., 34c, 24, 38). Other characteristics would be moderately wide hips and a large amount of booty cleavage (i.e, depth of butt-crack).

That "brown round" belongs to none other than Ms. Muscle Butt herself,

The Birk Economic Recovery Plan

2008-09-25T15:38:00.000-04:00

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be there

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the market - capital drives growth

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed
By one of our candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .

And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

Birk

Women will never be equal to men...!

2008-08-25T16:27:00.003-04:00

How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened when she brings it.
------------------------------------ -------------------------------
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to suppo rt you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those 'evolutionary things' that allows
them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
When she starts a sentence with 'A man once told me....'
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I married a Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was Always.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes
a woman's sex drive by 90%.
It's called "Wedding Cake. "
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do men die before their wives?
They want to.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
...until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy, woman will never be equal to men...!!!

BARACK OBOMA -- The Anti-Christ...???

2008-08-20T01:22:00.002-04:00

This is a new low....!!!

John McCain's campaign ad "The One" has generated a lot of buzz regarding the "Left Behind Series." Political commentators are comparing McCain's portrayal of competitor Barack Obama with the blockbuster apocalyptic series' depiction of the antichrist. But even the series authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins don't think Obama is the antichrist. What may have been created as a farce has generated a firestorm of controversy on the internet.

LaHaye and Jenkins take a literal interpretation of prophecies found in the Book of Revelation. They believe the antichrist will surface on the world stage at some point, but neither see Obama in that role. "I've gotten a lot of questions the last few weeks asking if Obama is the antichrist," says novelist Jenkins. "I tell everyone that I don't think the antichrist will come out of politics, especially American politics."

It's hard to believe that in the 21st century, a stupid, fact lacking, anonymously spread internet rumor would impact a person's opinion of a presidential candidate - but it has.

Advocacy Group Says Many Popular Sunscreens Offer Inadequate Sun Protection, Calls on FDA to Implement Label Changes...

(things that make you go -- hmmmm...)

July 1, 2008 -- An environmental research and advocacy group claims that four out of five brand-name sunscreens either provide inadequate sun protection or contain chemicals that may be unsafe, but industry representatives strongly dispute the charge.

In a report released Tuesday, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) calls on the FDA to implement promised changes in sunscreen labeling that would require manufacturers to provide more detailed information about the level of sun protection their products provide.

For the first time, manufacturers would have to test and label their products for protection against ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation, which does not cause sunburns but can damage collagen and cause wrinkles and sunspots. Research suggests that UVA is a cause of skin cancer.

The labeling upgrade was proposed by the FDA last August, but the changes have not been finalized.

The current sun protection factor (SPF) labeling system, which was implemented three decades ago, measures only protection from UVB rays -- the ultraviolet rays that cause sunburns.

"You can buy a high SPF product and still have no assurance that you are being protected from UVA, as well as UVB rays," EWG research director Jane Houlihan tells WebMD.

Sunscreens Under Scrutiny
In their newly published analysis of more than 900 brand-named sunscreens, EWG researchers concluded that 7% of the products with SPF ratings of 30 or higher did not protect against UVA rays.

Only 15% of the sunscreens met the group's criteria for safety and effectiveness by providing broad-spectrum sun protection (denoting protection against both UVA and UVB radiation), remaining stable in sunlight, and containing only active ingredients considered safe by the EWG.

The top-selling sunscreen brands tended to be the poorest performers, with none of market leader Coppertone's sunscreen products consider to be both safe and effective by the EWG.

Just one of 103 products from the second-largest seller, Banana Boat, and the third largest seller, Neutrogena, were recommended by the EWG.

Here are their top picks:

Keys Soap Solar Rx Therapeutic Sunblock, SPF 30
Trukid Sunny Days Facestick Mineral Sunscreen UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum, SPF 30+
California Baby Sunblock Stick No Fragrance, SPF 30+
Badger Sunscreen, SPF 30
Marie Veronique Skin Therapy Sun Serum
Lavera Sunscreen Neutral, SPF 40
Vanicream Sunscreen, SPF 35
UV Natural Sunscreen, SPF 30+
Sun Science Sport Formula, SPF 30
Soleo Organics Sunscreen all natural Sunscreen, SPF 30+

Among more widely available brands, Blue Lizard, California Baby, CVS, Jason Natural Cosmetics, Kiss My Face, Neutrogena, Olay, SkinCeuticals, Solar Sense, and Walgreens made the list.

All Coppertone products are photostable, provide UVA/UVB protection, and are routinely evaluated for safety and efficacy by independent dermatologists and scientists," Julie Lux of Schering-Plough says.

"Coppertone is committed to the science and safety of sun care and is concerned that reports like this one released by the Environmental Working Group will inappropriately discourage consumers from protecting themselves from the sun."

A spokeswoman for Neutrogena parent company Johnson & Johnson also defended its sunscreens.

"All Neutrogena products undergo extensive testing to ensure safety and efficacy," Iris Grossman says in a statement.

Banana Boat issued a statement saying that all Banana Boat products "use only ingredients that are safe and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other worldwide regulatory bodies," that their products won't break down in the sun, and that the Skin Cancer Foundation officially recommends Banana Boat as an effective UV sunscreen.

The EWG analysis suggested that nearly half of the products contained ingredients known to become inactive in strong sunlight.

"It may seem counterintuitive, but of the 17 'active ingredients' that FDA has approved for use as sunscreens in the U.S., at least four of them break down significantly when they are exposed to sunlight," the EWG report notes. "They lose their ability to absorb the sun's harmful rays and stop working effectively in as little as 30 minutes, ranging up to several hours."

Products containing the sun-stable and UVA filtering ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide were more likely to score highly in the group's analysis.

The report also criticized what EWG analysts called "over-the-top" marketing claims that they contend would not be allowed under the proposed FDA guidelines.

"There are more than 1 million skin cancers diagnosed in the United States every year," Houlihan says. "Sunscreen is a very important part of sun protection, and it is important that consumers know what they are getting."

Industry Responds
Two spokesmen for the sunscreen industry called the EWG claims unfounded and erroneous.

Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) general council Farah Ahmed calls the contention that 7% of high SPF sunscreens do not protect against UVA rays "highly inaccurate."

"It is very clear to me that they have a very low level of understanding of the way sunscreens work and the way they are regulated by the FDA and tested by the industry," Ahmed tells WebMD.

Personal Care Products Council chief scientist John Bailey, PhD, says sunscreens are both safe and effective and highly regulated by the FDA.

Bailey noted that the agency already has the authority to bring action against any manufacturer that makes unsubstantiated claims about a sunscreen.

"The contention that (sunscreens) are too loosely or ineffectively regulated is just not true," he tells WebMD.

Bailey also strongly disagrees with the suggestion in the EWG report that the FDA is moving too slowly on its promised sunscreen label changes.

"The idea that FDA is somehow in cahoots with the industry and that we have fought to delay the process is inaccurate," he says. "The agency has received thousands of comments (on the label change), and they are in the process of reviewing these comments."

Both Bailey and Ahmed expressed concern that the EWG report could cause people to stop using sunscreens.

"I would hate to think that there are parents out there not using sunscreen on their kids because of a report like this that is not based on real science," Ahmed says.

In a statement issued Monday, American Academy of Dermatology President William Hanke, MD, said people should choose a "broad-spectrum" sunscreen as part of an overall sun protection regimen.

"The FDA is currently addressing requirements for UVA coverage in sunscreens and considering sunscreen labeling changes to help the public make knowledgeable decisions about protecting themselves from the danger of the sun," Hanke said. "The American Academy of Dermatology currently awaits the FDA's final ruling."

the world's best kept auto secret...

2008-04-18T16:59:00.003-04:00

I have been driving (legally) for over Twenty Years! One would think that I would have noticed the little secret on my dash that was staring me Right in the face the whole time.

I didn't and I bet you probably haven't either.

Quick question, what side of your car is your fuel tank?

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you a little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the Gas station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.

If you look at your fuel gauge, you will see a small icon of a Petrol Pump. The handle of the petrol pump will extend out on either the Left or right side of the pump. If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right. Most newer vehicles take it a step farther. There will be an arrow pointing to which side your tank is on... (see photo below). It is that simple!

(curiously, I went to check mine & the handle is on the right - with an arrow pointing left - my gas tank is on the left) - This isn't life saving info - just stuff you ought to know the next time you're in your uncle's, brother's, mother car - or maybe you just check'd out of AVIS)

I don't know how you feel right now but when I came across this info/secret, I felt cheated!

Why don't the dealers share such important information with car buyers? I don't understand why this isn't in the driver’s manual? I don't get why any mechanic I have ever been too or know has even thought of mentioning this to me? The only possible explanation can be that all these people probably don't even know!

Go out and share the world's best kept auto secret with your friends; as this information is way too important to be kept secret.

Fuel Sources

2008-04-16T16:37:00.000-04:00

It’s that time of year again… Spring is in the air & temperatures are rising – prompting those weekend warriors to get out and RE-COMMIT to their New Year’s Resolutions… This is a time when many don’t know what to wear (LOL) and most don’t know what to eat or drink.

I have been asked by many for advice concerning healthy food choices, including meal replacements, snacks, bars, & drinks.
In this segment “Fuel Sources” I will give my guide to which Energy products that I think will give you a jolt and which ones you should leave on the shelf…

Only a couple years ago if you asked someone how he or she fueled up for sporting games, meets, & matches, you might have gotten a blank stare. “Energy Foods” were limited to bananas or a bowl of spaghetti.

Today athletes of all ages and levels are aware of the importance of eating for their sport. “My eating habits are very important to my success…! Proper nutrition includes the consumption of precise amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and water each day.

I lift and carry weights for most of the day and usually I join in on 1 - 2 cardio classes or bootcamps. If that isn’t enough, I like to top it all off with 3 – 5 sets of hardcore tennis at least 4x’s per week. So in order to keep up my energy & blood sugar levels I tend to eat high-carb, high protein meals. I moderate my sugar & fat intake due to family health history. In general I eat 4 – 5 small meals per day. So the ongoing joke is that anytime someone calls me during the day, I am eating, going to eat, or just finished eating. This is funny and true, but keep in mind that these are small portions of food – enough to keep my energy levels up. An example of this is that I will prepare a large bowl of pasta with meat (chicken – turkey – sausage). I will than cut that meal in halves and eat one half after breakfast (2nd meal) and the other half for lunch (3rd meal) – along with multivitamins. Depending upon the rest of my day, as a (4th meal) I may snack on Roasted Peanuts, Almonds, Protein Shakes, Protein Bars, and Salads and… yes I have been spotted at Chick Fillet or Popeyes a time or two. At the end of the day I finish it off with a diner (5th meal), a protein shake, and 1 – 2 adult beverages…

Those are some of my choices – but let’s discuss some “Fuel Source” choices for the everyday (NON – PRO ATHLETE) individual.

First and foremost – STAY HYDRATED…! Okay – so now the question is with what…? It depends on how well you tend to eat in general and how long and hard you play. “If you follow a healthy diet, you’re not playing too hard or for too long, and it’s not too hot, you’re probably fine just drinking water and having some kind of high-carb meal a few hours before. But if those conditions change, sports drinks and some special foods may be beneficial.” Before a cardio class or playing basketball, tennis, football, or going for a long run I like to drink energy drinks. During the actual event I lean more towards sport drinks. After most sporting events I grab something with protein & carbs in it to help with the recovery process.

That said, not all energy foods and drinks are equally appropriate for all sporting events. Here’s a look at the good, the bad, and the unnecessary when it comes to fueling up.

SPORTS DRINKS

Gatorade, Powerade, and other highcarb sports drinks are perhaps the most widely accepted and applauded energy products. “Most of these drinks are scientifically engineered to have the best absorption in your body, providing energy, electrolytes, and fluids when you need them most.

A solid amount of research done by Universities (such as Florida – where Gator-Aid was born) and other independent studies backs the effectiveness of these drinks. One recent study found that players who consumed sports drinks had lower average body temperatures while playing than those who drank water, which could translate to more energy and endurance. But having too much can be problematic. If you already have a lot of carbs in your system, drinking a carb-rich beverage can upset your stomach.

Drinks like Accelerade, which contains both carbs and protein, help muscles recover faster after exercise. One recent study published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism found these drinks were 15 percent more effective in rehydrating athletes than conventional sports drinks and 40 percent more effective than water. Other research has shown that even simple chocolate milk can improve recovery after a workout.

BOTTOM LINE: If you’re playing, or doing some sort of fitness for less than an hour, stick to water; otherwise drink about 16 fluid ounces of a sports beverage one hour before your match and another 5–10 fluid ounces during play. After you play, look for a drink that has both carbs and protein for recovery.

ENERGY DRINKS

THE cloudy purple drink in my glass had scarier instructions than most prescription drugs.

I was to drink only a quarter-bottle of EndoRush at a time, and only if I was over 18 or under 50. You may not consume EndoRush if you have heart problems, highblood pressure, suffer from depression, or pregnant. After 30 minutes, I would need to assess my tolerance. I could not have any other caffeine or expose myself to excessive heat after drinking EndoRush.

Red Bull, SoBe Adrenaline Rush, and other energy drinks have become popular among younger athletes mostly due to the amounts of caffeine (usually about the amount in a small cup of coffee) and other “natural” herbal additives that promise to give an instant energy boost. These energy boost promises is very appealing to the college student who wants to stay up. A survey by the Simmons Market Research Bureau found that 62 percent of people ages 18 to 24 reported having used an energy drink during the previous week. But are they helpful and beneficial to you and your sporting event? Studies have definitely shown that caffeine can improve athletic performance in sports like cycling and running, caffeine has been shown to help athletes go longer, utilize carbohydrate stores more efficiently, and burn fat. But what may be good for an endurance athlete like a runner doesn’t necessarily translate to a tennis court, cardio class, or rock climbing… Although caffeine is “all natural” it’s just not appropriate for every sport. Many energy drinks have too much caffeine, which can be dehydrating, and are loaded with sugar, which can have an adverse effect on your bloodsugar levels and leave you feeling jittery or lightheaded.

(FYI) - Caffeine is now on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of monitored stimulants for tennis & many other sports. Herbal additives such as Guarana, which is basically an herbal form of caffeine, are also questionable. Relying on energy drinks can begin an addictive cycle.

BOTTOM LINE: If you react easily to caffeine, the weather is particularly warm, or you haven’t hydrated well, stick to sports drinks over energy beverages. If you’re accustomed to caffeine and you want to give it a try, do so on a day when you’ve already had a lot of fluids and you don’t have a big game, run or match on the line. Remember that “All Natural or Herbal” doesn’t mean ALL SAFE..! Some natural, herbal products DO NOT mix with some medications.

ENERGY BARS

It seems like there’s an endless variety of energy bars on the market, and each has its own marketing promise. Traditional bars like PowerBar and Clif Bar Energy Bar usually are about two-thirds carbohydrates and are best for getting amped up before playing or exercise. Higher-protein options like Balance Bar or Zone are better for afterwards, to help your muscles recover. Some bars also serve as a meal replacement for times when you don’t have a chance to eat a whole meal.

BOTTOM LINE: Choose your bars wisely. If you’re fueling up with a quick bite beforehand, eat a higher-carb option one to two hours before you go at it. After you play or train, eat within two hours for optimal muscle recovery, and look for a bar that has about 20 grams of protein (slightly more for men). And remember that energy bars aren’t low-calorie— most average between 200 and 300 calories per serving. So don’t just be eating them to be doing something.

GELS AND CHEWS

As recent as 2 – 3 years ago when I heard of gels and chews I immediately pictured marathon runners, cyclists or soccer players. Today energy gels and chews have found a place in just about every sporting arena around the world. So what’s all the hype you ask…? Its simple – they are high in sugar and designed for quick, easy digestion. They’re a good way to get energy in the form of carbohydrates when you’re in a hurry..! Gels, like Gu or PowerGel, can make you especially thirsty, so be sure to have them with water (avoid ingesting sports beverages and gels at the same time, since too many carbs at once can upset your stomach) – I keep warning you of this because you will find out the hard way and there ainte no bathrooms on metro, 395, 295, 495, Suitland or BW Parkway. There are a lot of items to choose from so do your research. I personally tend to stray away from gels and chews. If you feel the need for a quick energy burst, there’s always - plain ol’ honey!!!

BOTTOM LINE: If you’re in a marathon of any sort - gels and chews can help replenish lagging energy in a hurry. Just be sure to drink at least a cup of water (5–10 fluid ounces) to stay hydrated.

…but as always – I before you take anything read the labels and save your receipts because likely there's something in there that will not agree with you or raise your heart rate up past the point you're used to when you're exercising.

Give these options a try and as always – give me plenty of feedback…

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

2008-02-13T17:58:00.000-05:00

DR. PHIL : The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH : Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

JOHN KERRY : Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE : That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN : To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

DR SEUSS : Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY : To die in the rain. Alone.

BARBARA WALTERS : Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

BILL CLINTON : I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE : I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS : Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY : Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON : Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

Hillary Clinton : that chicken needs a universal health care before he can cross the road.

Barack Obama : That chicken will CHANGE the way we cross the road. But the chicken can't do it alone, so please come out and vote.

John McCain : My friends, that chicken is crossing the road that Ronald Reagan built. He [the chicken] will cross and occupy the other side of the road for a hundred years.

Mike Huckabee : We will have to change the constitution, to whatever god's will is, regarding of how the chicken crossing the road.

GEORGE W. BUSH : We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

GRANDPA : In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

Determination, Dedication, and Discipline

2008-01-04T03:55:00.000-05:00

2008 puts me about 17-18 years into this industry and marks my 7th consecutive year that I have been teaching Kardio© classes in some form or another. I wholeheartedly thank all of you who have made this journey worth while. For some, physical fitness is a one man/woman endeavor. It’s a road some go down alone. And that’s okay. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. But I will not deny the fact that over the years my support system has grown and so have I.

I’m not an emotional kind of guy. I don’t cry at the movies, I don’t punch walls when things don’t go my way, and I am very slow to anger. Typically, I consider myself pretty even keeled. But it blows my mind when I look around at all the people who have shown their support and the lengths at which they’ve gone to do so. It is a joy and a privilege to have realized my calling on life at a young age and I thank each of you who's allowed me to experiment at “Your Expense!” It means a lot to me to have family and friends who will do whatever it takes to ensure that I’m at my best. That’s what I call one hell of a support system and without it I may not be as a successful as I am. So, really, we win together!

I woke up “extra” hungry today. Hungry!!! Not as in six whole eggs and six whites with cheese and ham, three blueberry pancakes, and two bowls of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. Hungry, as in heavy squats, leg presses, walking lunges (done outside – walking up 18th street), leg extensions, leg curls, seated, standing and lying and stiff leg deadlifts…That's being hungry. I am always hungry. Hungry to strive forward, to better myself, to learn from mistakes, to stay focused, to stick to my game plan… One month ago - as I sat drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, recovering from my most hell raising - kick assz - Kardio© class EVER, I had a revelation. I was wasting my fucking time! I was winded and tired, I had almost puked & passed out in front of my class, but there was still high octane in the tank, and here I am idling in the '78 Cadillac Coupe deVille with the Ferarri engine that I call my body. I thought to myself, “Don't just sit there… Punch it...!” Time is money… And I ain't got enough of each. I probably never will, and the more I accumulate of one, the more I'll have spent of the other. As such, we need to make the most of our moments and squeeze as much productivity as possible out of each gym session we are blessed with. Don't get pimp slapped by the hands of the clock. Take back your time. Take control of your workouts and get that race car in the red…!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ! !

KEEPING YOU SAFE

2007-12-20T11:11:00.000-05:00

A quick note concerning my last entry concerning the Pin Number Reversal - it has been varified and it DOES NOT WORK! pooh ~

However - this entry is promoting common sense and it alway works...

This year, millions will use the Internet for some portion of their holiday shopping. And with it comes a surge in online crime. Surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, it’s easy to lose sight of this.

So, here are some tips to make your online transactions safe:

-Keep your Internet security software completely up-to-date.

-Always check the wireless network you connect to is secure. Free wireless hot spots are not always safe.

-Password-protect your computer, PDA, and other digital equipment.Make your password memorable but not easy to decipher. Don’t base it on your name, email address or birthday. Also, if you write down your passwords, never leave them in plain sight or in easy-to-find places near your computer terminal.

-Know your merchants. Make sure their Web site is legitimate… When entering sensitive data, see to it the web address starts with "https" and look for a small picture of an unbroken key or closed lock in the bottom right area of your browser window. Without these, don’t transact online.

-Use one credit card with a low limit and if possible never use a debit card - or anything requiring you give a pin #. If you have the option of credit or debit - USE CREDIT. If your credit card number gets stolen, you won’t lose more than $50.

-Consider Bill Me Later as ways to pay without using a credit card.

-After the holidays, watch your credit card statements carefully for a few months. Verify you made all of the purchases listed.

-NEVER use public computers to shop online!!! (like - duhh)

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you. This information was recently broadcast on FOX TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

~ we are consuming poop ~

2007-10-26T17:45:00.000-04:00

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and those who don't.

Ben Franklin said: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria." In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop ~ Wine = Health.

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

hmmm ~ YOU B THE JUDGE...

2007-09-30T12:13:00.000-04:00

She used to be brown.

She could get down.

Now, she's light.

She doesn't look quite right.

Rumor has it that Miss Kim has had more than her Breast/Tummy/Hip/Butt/Eye/Lips & hair did... She apparantly has had the same proceedure as Michael Jackson to lighten her skin... (you be the judge)

Did Rihanna really hurt her leg? Or is the hurt leg just a ruse to draw attention away from her now burgeoning chest? Those are new oranges stuffed under her chest where it used to be rather flat! Oh well, the 'I hurt my leg' story sure didn't distract anyone away from her new round breasts.

Vivica Fox scares me. She was recently arrested for a DUI (driving under the influence), but I believe she should have been arrested for lip collagen abuse, especially on her top lip. AND WHY HAS NO ONE SAID ANYTHANG ABOUT THAT BIG OL' 4 HEAD..?????

(WTF)- you be the judge...!

Lip collagen cost - $400

Face lift cost - $12000

Cheek implant cost - $1500

Your natural wrinkled hands - free!

Sorry Priscilla Presley , there is no plastic surgery remedy for old hands. The taut skin of her face looks 40-something and her hands reveal her true age. (that is just weird...)
