Thankfully, this distress call is seldom answered. After an hour, the American children give up and go off to torture sea creatures and lifeguards.
In the meantime, the parents have formed a circle of beach chairs. We call it our "circle of hopes and dreams." Its purpose? To share a margarita and our innermost suburban thoughts.
"I remember my first kiss," my friend Don says.
"You do?"
"His name was Ronaldo."
I think he is joking. Don is always joking. I have known the guy eight years and have yet to hear him make a serious remark. It is just one of the reasons we are still close friends.
"When are you guys going to Spain?" someone asks Kate.
"Saturday," Kate replies.
This is, apparently, the summer everyone goes to Europe. Paul and Sara to France. Bruce and Susan to Spain. Dave and Kathy too.
I have a hard time understanding this. There are topless beaches right here in America. And the woman in the white thong, sitting 30 feet away, is as skinny as a loaf of French bread. Who needs Paris? Who needs Barcelona? They don't even have baseball there.
"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh-my-God, oh-my-God, oh-my-God "
Down at the shoreline, something has washed up dead. Ten American kids have surrounded it. They are trying to figure out how best to fillet it and deep-fry the pieces in empty cans of Sprite. Poor shark. We can only hope it was a quick death. Anyone remember the tartar sauce?
"The beach is closing," a lifeguard announces over a P.A. "I repeat, the beach closes at sundown."
"What time is it?" one of the parents asks.
"We just got here," I say.
We stand a moment and look at all there is to pack up. It is as if a C-130 cargo plane crashed at our feet — loaded with towels, beach toys and half-full bags of chips.
"We'd better go," I say to someone else's wife, the one with salsa on her ankle.
As always, there's a bit of chafing as we leave the beach. Like you, we go home with five pounds of sand in our shorts. Plus at least one cod and a couple of ground squirrels.
Encrusted in sand, the kids look like corndogs in flip-flops. They trudge toward the car. Followed by their tired parents. Followed by packs of gulls, diving at our ketchuped footprints.
"Ouch," a kid says when we reach the parking lot.
"Ouch," says his mother.
Yes, when properly done, the beach hurts a little. The sunburn. The bloody toes. The sand in your shorts.
We go as often as we can.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 11 (UPI) — A man sentenced to death in a 1984 killing had his conviction overturned after a federal appeals court in Ohio found his due process rights had been violated.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled John David Stumpf's rights were violated when prosecutors led a lower court to believe he was the main offender in the murder of a woman in her New Concord home, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
Stumpf must be released unless the state grants him a new hearing within 90 days, the court said in its 2-1 ruling.
The court found prosecutors had evidence and believed Clyde Daniel Wesley, a friend of Stumpf's and the co-defendant, was the trigger man in the death of Mary Jane Stout.
The court, which heard arguments four years ago, had overturned Stumpf's conviction and death sentence. The U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and sent the case back to the appeals court to determine whether he should receive the death penalty.
Stumpf and Wesley had been arrested in the killing of Stout and shooting of her husband, Norman. The two men had gone to the couple's home and asked to use the phone so they could rob them.
Stumpf, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, admitted shooting Norman Stout in the head but said Wesley killed Mary Jane Stout.

Put the batteries in it and had crows flying all over me in my back yard just trying it out. The first time out called in grey fox and coyote. Love this call.
It seems to use batteries pretty quick. I just started changing batteries after a couple of sets. I called in coyotes on the first day so it works
Used several times just in my backyard. The crow distress had 8 crows circling over my position. The first time I tried the coyote puppy distress a coyote came running across my yard! Caught me by surprise! You cannot go wrong for the price!
This is my second one purchased .....love it !
Have not used it yet but sounds great.

Medicis ships Restylane, Perlane after FDA nod
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Jan. 29 approved Restylane-L for implantation into the mid- to deep dermis and Perlane-L for implantation into the deep dermis to superficial subcutis. Both fillers are intended for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds.
GlobeNewswire quotes Medicis Chairman and CEO Jonah Shacknai as saying, "We are pleased to be shipping Restylane-L and Perlane-L just two weeks after announcing FDA approval. Restylane is the first and only hyaluronic acid dermal filler approved to last up to 18 months with one repeat treatment. We believe the addition of 0.3 percent lidocaine to Restylane ... and Perlane is an offering physicians and their patients will appreciate."

Stand-up Revolution
is a fairly loose comedy show hosted by comedian Gabriel Iglesias, who is some
kind of genius with voices. Seriously, you�ll hear it throughout the disc (and
especially in the animated sequences). Ozomatli is the house band for
the show, which is totally cool. Each episode features two stand-up comedians
as well as an introduction and short stand-up bit by Gabriel Iglesias. The
episodes vary in quality, depending primarily on the strength of each episode�s
individual comedians (the best episodes being the first and fourth). This DVD
includes all six episodes, plus some bonus material.
The first episode
features Trevor Noah and Dov Davidoff. Trevor Noah compares comedy to sex: �
the comedian, playing the role of the man. You, the audience, playing the role
of the woman. Because it�s my job to satisfy you. And you just have to sit
.� But it�s his material on being of mixed races that is most interesting.
After Gabriel gives
Dov Davidoff an amazing introduction, Dov tells the audience to lower its
expectations. But he�s seriously funny, particularly his bit about people
having too many babies. When he gets rolling, he�s perfect. I need to keep an
eye out for this guy.
The first episode
also features an Ozomatli video and an hilarious anecdote from Gabriel about
playing a practical joke on Trevor in Texas.
The fourth episode
features comedians Dustin Ybarra and Thai Rivera. Dustin is incredibly funny,
with his comedy focusing on being poor. He says, �
Why do coupons even expire
anyway? That�s like the biggest F you to poor people ever, right? It�s like now
I gotta be poor on time? Thank you so much
.� It�s great, and his energy is
I like it when
comedians still risk being offensive, which sadly seems more and more rare.
Thai Rivera talks about the difference between being gay and being black: �
I as
a gay man will have people talk to me, hang out with me, in some cases want to
be my friend, and then they find out I�m gay and suddenly they want nothing to
do with me. Where with black people you automatically know you don�t like
." And on immigration he says, "
And some days I�m ready to call immigration
just to free up a dryer at the Laundromat
The sixth episode is
also really good. In addition to two comedians, there are three animated
sequences. Those sequences take Gabriel Iglesias� old stand-up bits and turn
them into cartoon form. My favorite is the second one, with a great animated
bit of terrified doughnuts.
The two comedians in
the sixth episode are Ian Bagg and Pablo Francisco.
Ian Bagg is probably my favorite comedian of
the entire season. He jokes about how he was molested as a kid. �
It�s a true
story. I actually got money from the church. I got $8,677. Worth it! Jesus
totally bought me my first car, and I got a Trans Am
.� I also love how he
interacts with the crowd. He is a seriously good comedian, and definitely has
his own thing going on. The Hitler pussy bit totally cracked me up.
Pablo Francisco, on the other hand, should be
funnier than he is. But he just can�t let go of the announcer voice, and it�s a
bit much.
By the way, while it�s
great that Ozomatli is the house band, by the third episode I was completely
sick of the theme song. (It�s played at the beginning, plus in and out of
nearly every break.) But don�t hold that against them. They�re a good band.
DVD Bonus Features
This DVD has several
bonus features, including outtakes and a behind-the-scenes look at the making
of the Ozomatli music video (which was shot at the Roxy). The best bonus
material is the series of animated �Hey It�s Fluffy!� shorts. There are four
shorts: �Fluffy And The Demon,� �Indecent Proposal,� �Dino Is Gay� and �Taco
Truck.� My personal favorite is �Taco Truck,� because of the end.

"Tienes wifi?" is often uttered amongst study abroad students in cafés and restaurants – especially in the beginning of the semester.
We're hooked. We're dependent. We never disconnect.
But now, we're in Barcelona — or wherever.
And being abroad can mean data plans are expensive and phones that aren't even compatible for European services. At first it's a little scary.
Applications like HopStop, Google Maps, and other navigation services help us combat unfamiliar (or perhaps even familiar) public transportation in the states. But without our smartphones, we're taken back a few years in time and are lost when it comes to planning.
We're responsible for looking up directions, meals and activities in advance — pulling up information on the spot simply isn't an option.
"At first it was hard. I'm used to using the map on my iPhone," said Kristine Gutshall, a student studying abroad in Florence, Italy.
"Now if we need to find somewhere we'll look at it online, find it on the map or ask people," Gutshall said.
Aside from navigation systems, students are also accustomed to utilizing other apps to communicate with people at any second of every day. Abroad, texts and calls can be the only functions on temporary phones.
"It's super basic," Gutshall said about the phone she uses in Florence, "I don't use [texting] as much as at home because it costs more."
At home, social media apps on hand keep college students posted with news every second – both trivial and serious. Constant e-mail connectivity keeps them organized with classes and clubs. There are apps for nearly every daily encounter.
Not being connected to the internet may have it's social perks, though. According to a recent USA TODAY article, disconnecting from your phone is beneficial for your work performance and job happiness.
And there really is a sort of serenity to not being hooked up to the Internet all the time. Students are forced to have more face-to-face communication with each other and those in the local population.
We're forced to be social in real life, not just on social media all the time. We're forced to wander cities and see things that maybe we'd miss out on if we had internet access all the time. We're forced to rid our addictions and just enjoy the study abroad experience.
"When I was bored, I used to just go on Facebook on my phone," Gutshall said. "It's refreshing not having to be on the Internet all the time."

News and Events Details
Nearly one-third of children in this country are obese. Not surprisingly, efforts to address childhood obesity are on the rise. One sector that has been paying more attention is schools. Throughout the U.S. schools have been paying more attention to their students' health, understanding that a healthy school environment means better grades, behavior, and the building blocks for healthy habits. Like many school districts across the country, the Superior School District has been taking a bigger role in creating a supportive school environment that fosters health.
The School District of Superior was selected as one of five school districts in Wisconsin to be part of a test program, the Community & Schools Wellness Policy Learning Collaborative Pilot (CSWPLC). The program will begin with three "test", or pilot schools in Superior: Northern Lights Elementary, Great Lakes Elementary, and Superior High School. The long-term goal is to find out what strategies to increase physical activity and improve nutrition work well and to eventually disseminate the new strategies to other schools in the district or even the county. As part of the pilot program, each district forms a Learning Collaborative team. The School District of Superior team is comprised of teachers, administration, and a community coalition, the Healthier Douglas County Coalition (HDCC). This team will attend trainings and conferences, gain access to webinars/conference calls related to health, be provided support through site visits, and receive a stipend for implementing new strategies to improve student health this upcoming fall.
A Community Need
Douglas County ranks low in many areas of health. When specifically focusing on health behaviors (e.g. adult obesity, physical inactivity), Douglas County ranks 63 out of 72 counties in Wisconsin. Most concerning is that 36% of children are overweight or obese, compared to 31% statewide*. Over the years, student health has been voiced as an area of interest by both school staff and community agencies that work with children and families. Now there is the opportunity to implement promising changes.
This pilot gave Superior the starting momentum it needed to think about changes it will implement in the upcoming school year. Superior's Learning Collaborative Team members knew how much work needs to be done. The busy schedules of teachers and coalition members meant that they were not able to extensively look into background research to guide their upcoming decisions. They needed a comprehensive collection of research on various strategies to improve health of students in schools.
UW-Superior Students Filled in Gaps with Academic Service-Learning
This is where the University of Wisconsin-Superior stepped in. This past semester, Anatomy and Physiology students at UW-Superior searched coast to coast for ideas to improve school wellness. The information that students collected will be used by the Learning Collaborative team to make planning and implementation decisions at the three schools.
Dr. Michelle Arnhold, Assistant Professor of UW-Superior's Natural Sciences Department understands that there are often time constraints and resource needs in the community. She has worked to bring university resources to the Superior community through Academic Service-Learning (AS-L). AS-L is a teaching pedagogy that integrates meaningful community service into curriculum. Faculty members work closely with a community partner in order to fulfill a community need while enhancing students' learning experience through real-world issues.
This past spring semester, her Anatomy and Physiology students each interviewed school leaders around the country about what they are doing in the school to promote health and wellness. They wrote papers to highlight school "success stories" around physical activity and nutrition.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has shared stories of "success" as a model for school districts. Many of these schools have been deemed "success stories," featured in new articles or documentaries. Arnhold's students took special note of challenges schools face, specific details of success, and creative solutions.
Students Gain Opportunity to Apply Knowledge in the Community
The assignment is a reflection of one of the greatest benefits of AS-L: a "win-win" situation for both the class and the community partner. They provided important information for the Learning Collaborative team, while gaining valuable knowledge and skills through interviewing schools.
A common theme among students' interviews was that in the real-world, unanticipated challenges may arise. "The way life works cannot be taught in a classroom. For example, a nutritionist may know all there is to know about children's health, but working with the people and the systems and the politics to actually implement proper health and wellness plans is a whole other element" says Laura Bonsell, a senior majoring in Biology. She interviewed a school in Texas that started off with great success and even starred in a documentary. Over time, however, the school discovered several challenges. As an aspiring physical therapist, Bonsell believes that this experience has given her the communication and problem solving skills to prepare her for the professional world.
Katelyn Adams, a junior majoring in Biology, notes that this assignment helped her realize that small changes helped not just the students in school, but employees as well. It also gave her practice in interviewing people. "This is a useful skill that I will use in other classes and throughout my profession later in life," said Adams.
The interview assignment helped Whitney Brugman, a junior Exercise Science major, realize how important it is to learn about and teach physical activity and nutrition early on, rather than focusing on improving habits in adults. "Once someone gets in a bad habit they are stuck, and it is extremely hard to change that. When I was in grade school we weren't taught nearly as much about nutrition as students these days are and I think it is very beneficial for students to learn about it at a young age," described Brugman.
Papers Give "Preview" of Success and Struggles
The interview papers will provide valuable information for the Learning Collaborative team. Knowing what others schools are doing, along with successes and challenges the schools are facing, will give the team the background information necessary to make informed decisions. It gives them realistic goals. Oftentimes, success stories do not show the bumps along the way.
"Sometimes all we hear is the success stories…we might feel we are far behind everyone else. These papers gave a great example of positive changes that are taking place and the struggles that some school districts are having and why," said Mary Mahan, a core council member of HDCC.
Mahan went on to state that these papers will help them prepare and plan their strategies for what they may encounter down the road. "I think that we can utilize aspects of what worked and what didn't work in our own school environments here in Douglas County," said Mahan.
Promoting Healthy Habits in the Future
The opportunity for Superior schools to be part of this learning pilot will be an instrumental part in giving community leaders the tools to promote healthy habits. With the rising concern about childhood obesity, addressing the issue from a preventative standpoint seems to be a growing approach. The long-term hope of the Learning Collaborative team is that these strategies will help prevent many diseases and health concerns associated with poor nutrition and lack of adequate physical activity such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
UW-Superior students played an important part in providing background knowledge to give the Learning Collaborative Team a head start. "Partnering with AS-L has been beneficial…it gives us insight in moving forward in our own community," said Mahan.
Academic Service-Learning (AS-L) is a form of experiential learning that encourages university-community partnerships. AS-L gives students an opportunity to learn course objectives through related, meaningful community service. The Center for Academic Service-Learning works to ensure partnerships are mutually beneficial for service-learners and the community sites served.*www.countyhealthrankings.org

Mayor's Notebook: Let's work together to improve Sibley Lake Park
Rumors, rumors, rumors.
Remember when I suggested several years ago that if you hear something strange, follow up by calling city hall (568-5222) or the mayor's office (568-2355)? Well, last week I learned that the city is going to sell Sibley Lake Park — is it true?
Absolutely not!
But, on behalf of the Park Board members who work very hard to make our parks top-notch, let me give you some background.

Fewer prisoners, fewer profits
With the U.S. prison population down 6%, publicly traded correction companies have fallen on hard times
In an era of runaway government spending and uncertainty on Wall Street, publicly traded corrections companies may have seemed like a good idea to some investors. With a literally captive customer base, revenue seemed reliable.
Well chalk up private sector prisons as just one more industry that's fallen on hard times. According to The New York Times, for the first time since 1972 we have seen a reduction in the U.S. prison population instead of an increase. That means less overcrowding of state and federal facilities – and less need for private sector help to take care of the overflow inmates.
With state budgets getting leaner on lower tax revenue, the expense of "outsourcing" prisoners is hard to justify. When you look at how staggering the cost is, it's easy to see why elected officials are ending these contracts.
For instance, a 2009 contract between the commonwealth of Pennyslvania and involves outsourcing 2,000 prisoners to Michigan and Virginia. The split is even, with a thousand inmates to each site, at the tune of $62 per prisoner per day. For those of you who aren't mathematically inclined, that's a guaranteed payday of $2.26 million per year for the 1,000 bed facilities housing these prisoners.
The reason for the move? Pennsylvania's 27 state prisons, built to hold 43,200 inmates, were housing 52,000, forcing some to bunk in modular units.
You can understand why some investors found these stocks attractive. However, keep in mind that the Pennsylvania deal was never intended to be a long term plan. The state is constructing four new prisons to fill its needs, and you can bet those outsourced prisoners will be heading home once the sites are complete.
What with the rollback in overall prison population, we've seen some states cancel deals like this ahead of schedule. For instance, Arizona announced this week it was terminating a contract with Corrections Corp. of America (CXW) to house inmates at a 2,160-bed site in Oklahoma. As a result of this notification, CCA intends to idle the Diamondback facility around June once all the prisoners are gone.
The news has taken a toll on CXW shares. The stock is down 4% so far this week, and Corrections Corp. shares have lost 17% YTD even while the market has been moving up.
Publicly traded prison stocks may have seemed like a good idea when the market turned south in 2008, but this unexpected reduction in the prison population has pulled the rug out from under these companies. It's time to give these companies their release if you have them in your portfolio. These three prison stocks in particular are duds to sell now.

Clearwire taps new CEO for WiMax expansion
Industry News
Briefing Room
For more on Clearwires WiMax rollout, see Telephonys Race to 4G topic page.
The Clearwire board today replaced CEO Ben Wolff with Vodafone veteran Bill Morrow, who will take on the difficult task of turning Clearwire from a regional fixed-wireless ISP into a nationwide mobile broadband operator.
Wolff will stay on as co-chairman of the company he helped found, joining fellow co-founder and entrepreneur Craig McCaw as joint head of the board. Clearwire has made slow progress in rolling out WiMax, but Clearwires board made a point of saying Wolffs replacement as CEO was not a reflection on his performance. In a statement today, McCaw said that Wolff was instrumental in building Clearwire into a major broadband wireless operator, raising capital to fund its expansion and negotiating the deal with Sprint, Google, Intel and cable operators that landed Clearwire $3.2 billion in cash and a nationwide spectrum footprint.
Ben Wolff has routinely made the impossible, possible, McCaw said. He also has the wisdom and foresight to recognize that in these unprecedented times, a company can't have too much talent. Together, we have recruited Bill Morrow to lead the Clearwire team. As Co-Chairman, now Ben will be able to dedicate more of his time to Clearwire's strategic direction and transactional opportunities.
Morrow, 49, most recently led Pacific Gas & Electric in San Francisco, but the bulk of his telecom experience comes at his time at Vodafone, where he served as CEO of Vodafone Europe and a different times headed up Vodafones UK and Japanese groups. Morrow will be responsible for shepherding Clearwire through its next, and most significant phase of growth, which will culminate in two years with a mobile WiMax network in 80 markets covering 120 million people.
"The chance to lead Clearwire at a time when the company sits on the cusp of doing something truly remarkable to change the way people connect to and use the Internet was not one to be missed," Morrow said in a statement.
Morrow faces several obstacles, though, the biggest of which will be money and competition. Clearwire has $3.2 billion in capital from its partners, but it will have to seek another multi-billion cash infusion to complete its network. Last week Clearwire revealed its WiMax rollout plans for the next two years, which will see it burn through $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion in 2009half of the cash it received from the deal. While Clearwire is still sticking to its original goal of 120 million to 140 million pops covered, it appears to be packing most of that expansion toward the latter-half of the two year timeline. Clearwire has named only 8 new markets it plans to launch commercial WiMax service in 2009 Many of those markets will be cities where Sprint and Clearwire already have infrastructure in places or where Clearwire is upgrading its proprietary NextNet gear to full mobile WiMax.Meanwhile Verizon Wireless plans to take its first commercial long-term evolution (LTE) networks live in 2010. While Clearwire still has a big head start on Verizon and other LTE operators, an extremely aggressive Verizonor an extremely cautious Clearwirecould nullify much of Clearwire time to market advantage.

Last year, more veterans killed themselves than died at war. 350 veterans committed suicide while 295 were killed in action.
Now a well- known valley attorney is working to reduce those numbers and he's asking for your help.
"You don't think of someone that's blind and lost an arm could go on an elk hunting trip, but he went on a 5 five day outdoor uphill downhill up mountain elk hunt," said Phoenix trial attorney Buddy Rake.
Hunting, climbing mountains, fishing -- those are just a few of the activities that wounded veterans take part in at Camp Patriot.
"So Camp Patriot demands the impossible, almost the impossible and by doing that, when veterans come out of that program, then the possible seems easier -- getting a job, reestablishing relationships with your family," said Rake.
Rake is a Navy veteran and advocate for Camp Patriot. He's also been coaching basketball at Thunderbird High School for 26 years.
"It's hard to get them to believe they can do tasks, that they honestly believe are impossible to do and the coach is demanding that they do it over and over again perfectly -- well I think wounded vets are kind of in the same position -- you've got a kid who's lost a leg and just getting up in the morning and putting on a prosthesis seems like a very difficult task," explained Rake.
Rake believes the government sees wounded vets as a project, and that it's up to the public to serve those who have served us. He's committed to raising $2 million dollars for a permanent facility in hopes of helping 300 veterans a year. He's asking the public for $100,000.
"In an hour and five minutes, another veteran is gonna commit suicide. 22 a day -- it's a just a overwhelming statistic and I think the thing I want to emphasize if you're waiting on the government to make that statistic better you're probably gonna have a long wait," said Rake.
Currently, Camp Patriot helps 100 veterans a year. It's hoping to triple that with a 158 acre facility that includes a 16 acre fishing lake.

Excellent Vacuum Cleaner that does the job
This review is from: Panasonic MCCG902 Canister Vacuum Cleaner with HEPA Filter Burgundy
Pros: Panasonic makes the Kenmore vacuums. So it uses a compatible Kenmore bag. I have an older Kenmore canister that has the same attachments.
Cons: Only complaint is that it is noisy as others have attest to in other reviews of this machine in this forum and others. What vacuum cleaner is not noisy?
Other Thoughts: Others state that the bags are hard to come by in brick stores. Found replacement bags at walmart for a pack of 3 for $4 plus.

So I've got good news and bad news. The female lead as an undercover cia agent that I auditioned for? I didn't get it. The director and producer actually contacted me today to offer me a different part.
The director told me they decided to go with a different look/direction for that role, but that he sees me in the role of the badgirl. One of the villians in the film. He told me to imagine charlize theron/ scarlet johanson / angelina jolie playing bad.
The producer told me when he first saw me he thought I reminded him of angelina jolie. And then the director, who has worked with michael bay, went on a rant to me about megan fox and how ungrateful she was to him, when he basically plucked her out of obscurity and that he doesn't want me to do the same if I end up having to do publicity for the film. And they also asked me how I felt about them getting a team of makeup and hair people to make me look as much as angelina jolie/ megan fox as possible.
Wonderful, I get to play a stereotype. Which made me a little sad, because I don't want to begin my career in the shadow of someone else. Are they that hellbent on getting a low budget remake of another individual? That's silly.
Anyways, all that I could live with that's not the reason i cried.
They want me to lose at least 20 lbs in 4 weeks because that's when filming begins.
They went out of their way to not call me fat, and tried to be as pc as possible telling me that I may want to start watching my diet intake, because the camera really does add 15-20 lbs.. and that i'm a little "too well built" as they put it. IE thick. And I'm like, alright, so just be straight with me, you want me to lose 20 lbs? And they told me to just do it in a "healthy way." Which is fucking stupid. You can't lose 20 lbs in 4 weeks in a way that's healthy.
My answer? Yes. Of course I agreed. I'm nothing, I'm nobody. I can't afford to be anything but compliant. So I will lose those 20 lbs. But I can't promise I'll be healthy by the end of it.
And to summarize the conversation, they basically told me in as nice and politically correct terms as possible, that i'm too unusual looking to play the lead (ie not white enough), that my face works for their "bad girl" purposes and that's why they want me but the rest of me is too fat, and that my martial arts skills are seriously rusty and so I will probably have a body/stunt double for some scenes.
And the weight thing kinda hurt my feels, cause I was finally at a place I was comfortable being curvy. But I realized if I want this, there's no room for feels. And I promised myself today would be the first and last time I cried about it.
Because the thing is, being fit is easy enough for me. I can get super fit. Super toned. But skinny? Skinny doesn't come natural to me. I'm muscular. Always have been. I'm strong. I'm an athlete. But to just drop 20 lbs? Of everything? Muscle and fat? Shit.
But if they want me to drop 20 lbs, consider it dropped. I have 4 weeks. I plan to spend them very hungry, and very overworked. Several hours at the gym every day. No tears. Just pain. Because I have to believe it's worth it.
I already signed the contract, so at this point, it's a done deal. I don't have a choice. This is happening.
My character's code name is asia. They may or may not decide to make me play the role with a russian accent. I also get to work in front of a green screen. That's the one thing I'm actually really looking forward to. Oh and Lamborghini is sponsoring the film, lambos everywhere, so I actually get to drive one in one of the scenes. And that's all I really know for now, aside from major plot points that would constitute as spoilers so I'm not going to give those out.
So I have 4 weeks to drop 20 lbs. Here I go.

FRIDAY, Nov. 12 (HealthDay News) -- A minor gene variation may
be associated with altruism, an unselfish concern for the welfare
of others, a new study has found.
In a recent experiment, Martin Reuter, of the University of Bonn
in Germany, and colleagues found that people with this variation in
a gene known as COMT gave away twice as much money on average to a
charitable cause than people with another variation of the
The COMT gene contains building instructions for an enzyme that
acts upon dopamine (which is associated with positive emotions) and
certain other chemical messengers in the brain. There are two
variants of the COMT gene: COMT-Val and COMT-Met. They occur with
about the same frequency in people.
The variants differ in only a single building block. But in
people with the COMT-Val variant, the associated enzyme works up to
four times more effectively, the study authors explained in a
university news release.
And in an experiment involving prize money and the chance to
donate it to charity, people with the COMT-Val variant were twice
as likely to donate it as were people with the COMT-Met gene, the
German researchers found.
This is the first time that scientists have been able to find a
possible link between a particular gene and altruism.
The study findings are published in the current online edition
of the journal
Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience.

The Amazing Race 15: And They're Off!
- Wednesday, October 07, 2009
What's truly amazing is that I haven't watched a full season of The Amazing Race (TAR) since its inception in 2001. And the only reason I watched it then is that I had heard that a college-mate had been cast. In the end, he and his team partner ended up winning and made history as the first-ever TAR winners. So that was fun.
But then I had a short attention span and drifted to other networks and channels. I tried reality of different forms (music, dance, cooking, decorating, etc.) and calculations (contrived, really contrived and full-blown totally orchestrated).
And now I've washed my hands of that (well, except for American Idol … and I'll have more to say about that come January 2010) and am back to where I started: The Amazing Race.
Fresh off its seventh straight Emmy Award win for reality-competition program, The Amazing Race began its fifteenth season recently with a two-hour whirlwind premiere. I can safely say that it's great to be back and on this side of the action (fire-hot Wasabi and gunky mud pits anyone?). And I'm happy to break down what you missed, in case you were wondering.
First, a very basic refresher on the way the game is played:
There are 11 teams (two people per team) and one show host (Phil Keoghan) at the beginning of the race. The connections are all relationally-based (married, dating, siblings, family members, friends, co-workers, etc.), so each team has a preexisting relationship in some form or fashion.
The race is broken up into different legs. Cash and clues are handed out at the beginning of each. The clue leads teams to destinations anywhere in the world by car, plane, boat, rickshaw, whatever. The goal is to be the first to arrive at each predetermined location and to complete a challenge (always related to the customs or locales of whatever country they are in). Once the teams are successful, they are then given the clue for the Pit Stop (of that leg) where they must step onto the Check-in Mat where each team finds out its current standing (1st, 2nd, 3rd place, etc.). The last team to check in is eliminated (if it is an elimination leg; sometimes they are not and carry a significant disadvantage for the last team). Kinda confused? Me, too. But Wikipedia (it's the "free encyclopedia," you know … so you get what you pay for) has some helpful information about it here.
The final leg of the race is run by the last three teams and whoever comes in first is the winner of that season of The Amazing Race. The grand prize is a whopping $1 million. Hello.
So that's the basic gist of the show, and if I got something wrong then I'm sure someone will kindly let me know in the Feedback section below. (Be nice.)
Next, let's discuss the teams of Season 15:
[NOTE: If you don't want to know who was eliminated in Episode One, stop reading right now. I'm going to spoil away!]
• Meghan & Cheyne: A young couple. Dating for five years. Meghan is an account exec at a public affairs firm and Cheyne works for a social change marketing company. Both blonde, both positive and both very "Up with People." Ish. They're athletic, work well together and have good communication skills. They're definitely ones to watch.
• Maria and Tiffany: Professional poker players who "make a lot of money" (we're told). They lie about their profession in the beginning and instead say they work with homeless teens. But alas. Their cover is blown during the first leg when a poker fan (are there such people?) recognizes them. Another team (which is ALSO keeping a BIG secret … details eight teams down) is a little annoyed by this.

BATTLE CREEK (WKZO) -- The City of Battle Creek has been ordered to pay its employees 80-thousand dollars in back-pay by the U.S. Department of Labor.
They have a week from Friday to comply.
The federal agency has found that the city has been improperly calculating payments for overtime for years, perhaps decades.
Under federal law, they are only required to reimburse the employees for the last few years of lost overtime pay.
265 current and past employees will be notified this week if they have checks coming and when to pick them up from Battle Creek City Hall.
The Firefighters were the first to challenge the city on the way it figured their extra-hours. They were reimbursed separately.

Great all-around 1a yo-yo! I ordered this before Thanksgiving 2010 and it came in the day I got back in school. The two bearings it comes with help a lot -- the responsive one is great for simpler tricks and the non-responsive one is great for all kinds of advanced string tricks. If you take off the side caps, you'll also find that it is excellent for thumb grinds. Very well-designed, well-engineered yo-yo, especially for the price.

By D Byrd
Great yoyo! I love it. Easily throw very long sleepers making tricks much easier to perform. Thank you yoyoplay.com!
By Steve
I find this yoyo to be a bit heavy handed on responsiveness. The extra bearing is nice, but forget about it returning at all when it is installed. The original bearing, however, doesn't seem to be quite wide enough to play well with the silicone rings. Lots of binding on string tricks that require dragging counter to the rotation of the yoyo. For some reason, tightening the wind of the string seems to help this. This is a good practice yoyo, but I would not use it in a competition setting.
By darkmagic2fan
dont have it but videos are awesome andre boulay from expert village uses it its so beast !!!!
By mr. to cool for you
The best yoyo i have(i have 9 yo-yos). I got it to sleep for 3 min. 12 secs. I learned to a bind on this yoyo.
By YoD4nYul
This yoyo is very good. The first time i got this yoyo i was a noob. I banged it up badly and stuff. Then I understood more and I fixed it up. Lubed it, new silicone, etc. Then it was just AWESOME! it slept for 1 min and 20 seconds w/o caps. It is decent for grinds, although if ur not careful the bolt in the center of the yoyo will scratch up your finger nail xD. This yoyo is totally worth its price and it is good for beginners to advanced players.
