Welcome to In Your Head! Wrestling podcast, news and community!
Posted in Interview Recaps by Jack at 00:12, Apr 29 2010
By: Bob Colling from www.pdrwrestling.com
(WWF/E, WCW, TNA, ECW, ROH and other reviews all in one place! Including recaps of never televised WWF/WCW house shows!)
Ryan Shamrock aka Alicia Webb was the guest on In Your Head Wrestling Radio hosted by Jack E. Jones, Oneinchbiceps and Barbie Richards at www.inyourheadonline.com
Jack, OIB and Barbie Richards are joined by former WWF, WCW and TNA valet Ryan Shamrock this week.
Ryan is doing very well this afternoon as she is in LA currently. Ryan is no longer really involved in wrestling. She misses the business because she misses the friends she made. Ryan was not a fan of the wrestling business and still isn?t a fan of it. She got involved in the business rather randomly.
She got involved in the business because ?a friend knew a friend?. She knew some things about the business but didn?t know a lot. She only knew about Hulk Hogan being a wrestler and the business being fake. Ryan talks about her role with Ken Shamrock and the angle with Billy Gunn and Val Venis. Ryan didn?t know any of the people she worked with at the time. She says a lot of people were surprised that she didn?t know a lot about the business.
She says that no one really gave her a hard time for not knowing much about the business. Ryan didn?t have a problem with the fellow female workers of WWF and wasn?t looking to take their spot.
Ryan says that she was put into the wrestling school and it was discussed about working matches. Ryan says that Luna Vachon told the office that Ryan was a gymnast and could be a good worker.
Ryan talks about the Undertaker sacrifice. Ryan wasn?t tied to the cross but rather was just holding onto cross. Ryan says that people were hoping that she wasn?t going to fall down. Ryan remembers that the WWF got some heat for the incident but can?t remember from who. Ryan was kind of disgusted when Taker licked her leg during the segment.
Spec Sun asks if Ryan got along with Goldust and Blue Meanie back in 1999. Ryan really enjoyed working with them as it was a lot of fun. Ryan talks about the Brood group and how she was suppose to be in the group ?dead and alive? or something of that nature.
Ryan never refused to do anything for WWF. Ryan mentions that their was a lot more to the storyline than she knew about.
Xtremefalls from the message board asks if Ryan had any direction for her run in TNA. Ryan says that their wasn?t any real direction as she was suppose to be a Madame of some sort.
Ryan says that Vince Russo was working with her in WWF at the time she was there and he called her to go to WCW. Ryan says that she was released from WWF and doesn?t know why that happened. Ryan didn?t want to sign a contract for five years, which was the offer. Ryan was always on a paid per appearance for WWF.
Ryan says that she liked working for WCW as she liked everyone there. She says that the people in WWE were nicer and had everything in store a lot better. While, WCW was a mess as it was near the end of the companies run.
Ryan says that she didn?t have any real interactions with Vince McMahon. Ryan doesn?t know what McMahon?s character is all about but says he is a nice guy.
Gene calls in with a Val Venis voice. Ryan says that she had a fun time with Val Venis. Ryan says that all the guys where nice to her, aside from Triple H. Ryan says that HHH had a issue with her because Chyna didn?t like her. Ryan doesn?t know why Chyna didn?t like her. Ryan says that Chyna would do stupid things like take her suitcase off a table and put it on the floor. Chyna would just complain about counter space and other things.
Ryan wasn?t intimidated by Chyna as she didn?t think Chyna would beat her up or anything. Ryan says that HHH would be the only guy who wouldn?t say hello to her when she arrived to the arena. However, years later HHH was very nice to her when she saw him at a hotel later on.
Changed Man calls in and asks which wrestler was Ryan most afraid of in WWF and WCW. Ryan wasn?t afraid of anyone in either company. Ryan says that she was told that Jackie was the toughest girl in WWF but she didn?t need to worry about as she was on the same team.
Ryan says that sometimes Ken Shamrock is just as intense as he was on television. Ryan says that people would be shocked that she would be hanging out with Ken outside of the building. She says she gets asked still if she is really Ken Shamrock?s sister. Ryan tells a story about Ken kissing her in a parking lot and how a fan would scream that he would do the same thing if Ryan was her sister.
Ryan says that the WWF talked to Ken Shamrock about doing a incest angle but Shamrock shot that down. Ryan also mentions that Debra was going to be revealed as he mother!
Buck from the message board asked how it was to work with the Maestro in WCW. Ryan says he was a very nice person and she would rib him all the time. Ryan says she would hide all of his things because she was bored as they would be there from 10am to 10pm.
Ryan says that she didn?t go out with the fellow wrestlers after the shows because their were a lot of cliques in WWF and WCW. Ryan says that Bret Hart was her only friend in WCW. Ryan says that her name was going to be Melody in WCW but that was changed. Her character for WCW lasted a little over a year, she believes. She doesn?t remember why it ended. Russo didn?t ask her to come to TNA, Jeff Jarrett did. Ryan says that she watched the first time TNA went live on January 4th. She says that was the first and only show she has sat down and watched.
Ryan talks about going to AAA and that Konnan gave herself and Sean Waltman the chance to work in Mexico. Ryan liked working in front of the fans as they are diehard and really supportive. She didn?t like how the company was ran because it poorly booked. Ryan mentions that fans would give her gifts.
Ryan says that she really enjoyed going to Mexico but as for other countries she didn?t really have a preference. She worked as a heel in Mexico, as usual. Ryan talks about the fans being dangerous and how things got wild once and awhile. Ryan tells a story about jumping a railing and yanking on her hair.
Buck from the message board asks about working with David Flair. Ryan says that David was really fun to work with a little bit. Ryan talks about a lot of the girls in WCW being nice to her.
Ryan never had a issue with the guys hitting on her as she started to date Ken Shamrock very early into her run. Ryan actually thought that he would RAPE her because he looked very mean to her, at first. Ryan would refuse to go anywhere with him because of that. Ryan ended up going to dinner with Test and Val Venis instead of Ken Shamrock that night.
The hosts and Ryan talk about Luna Vachon taping up a producer for spitting a spit ball into her hair. Ryan didn?t know about that incident but found that hilarious. Ryan thought a lot of the wrestlers were weird doing several weird things.
Ryan was not in Mexico for the Juventud Guerrera incident. Ryan thought it was very disgusting when she heard about that. Jack says that Waltman explained doing it very well. Ryan talks about being with Sean Waltman while Waltman was talking to the IYH crew a couple of weeks ago! Ryan got along with Juventud Guerrera very well.
Ryan talks about going to a Ellen show with Lizzie Valentine a couple of days ago. Ryan has never watched Ellen on American Idol so she doesn?t know if its any good.
Ryan is thinking of getting into fitness and getting into body building. She has some friends in the business and knows it is really hardcore. Ryan mentions that they can have a ounce of water before competitions.
Afro calls in and asks about Ryan thoughts on Nicole Bass. Ryan thought that Bass was very sweet and got along well with her. Ryan says that Bass would lift her up for a press slam a lot of times and when she would slam her down she would do so gently. Ryan talks about people being very mean to Nicole based on how she looked. Ryan says that Nicole was very fragile emotionally.
Ryan talks about cracking her ribs during a match with Bagwell and Maestro. Ryan mentions jumping off a apron in Mexico with high heels on and bruising her ankle quite a bit.
Jai asks if Ryan went to any UFC fights while with Ken. Ryan had gone to several shows and prefers watching UFC over anything wrestling. Ryan likes that their aren?t any storylines in UFC so its easy to watch it. Her favorite fighter is George St. Pierre. Ryan believes that Pride is way better than UFC.
Jack thanks Ryan for coming onto the show. Ryan says she is sure they will talk again sometime soon.

Obviously this technique works or they wouldn't be spending billions on advertising.. In its statement of defence, Eastern Health has asked that the claim be dismissed with costs.In its statement of defence, Eastern Health noted that Coombs and members of her family had spoken to the media and in public between January 2011 and April 2011 about the claimant's medical condition and her treatment.Eastern Health admits that on April 5, 2011, Kaminski made comments on a local radio talk show that made reference to Coombs' physical size as it related to her inability to access hydrotherapy services offered by Eastern Health.The statement of defence also states that on April 6, 2011 Kaminski hand delivered a letter of apology to Coombs and on April 8, 2011, Kaminski met with Coombs to personally apologize.Eastern Health is arguing that the statement of claim does not have merit and should be struck.OMG! Just when I thought these people were no longer front page news.

Cimaterol is a stimulant, a fat burner, and similar to clenbuterol in many ways& and different in some very important ones. Both clen and cimaterol are beta-adrenergic agonists, and thus are both anabolic as well as thermogenic (Reprod Nutr Dev. 1988; 28(1):61-84. Domest Anim Endocrinol. 1990 Oct;7(4):477-84) and also, stimulate your adrenal glands, increase your body temperature, raise your heart rate, etc& i.e. they mimic the "Fight or Flight" response quite well. Cimaterol, however may stimulate the beta-1, 2, and 3 receptors while clen only stimulates the beta 2 and 3 receptors. This may cause increased fat burning by cimaterol when compared with clenbuterol. Also, a far greater portion of brown adipose tissue is burned with the use of Cim over Clen, as far as I can tell.
Cimaterol stimulates both lypolisis (burning fat: the release of free fatty acids and glycerol) as well as inhibit lypogenesis (gaining fat: the incorporation of 14C into fatty acids from [14C]glucose) and may even do both more effectively than clen, possibly making it a more potent fat burner. In addition, it stimulates protein synthesis and thus could increase Fat Free Mass via this mechanism (Domest Anim Endocrinol. 1990 Oct;7(4):477-84) while at the same time burning fat. After a couple of weeks, however, the anabolic effects might lessen, as one study showed weight gain (with fat loss& ergo a PURE muscle gain concurrent with fat loss) halted after 14 days (J Anim Sci. 1992 Jan;70(1):115-22.). Energy metabolism has been shown to be greatly increased with Cim as well( Am J Physiol. 1988 Dec;255(6 Pt 2):R952-60). Cimaterol also stimulates blood flow and causes acute mobilization of nitrogen (alanine), significantly increases amino acid uptake in muscles, and mobilizes lactic acid out of muscles (J Anim Sci. 1998 Apr;76(4):988-98.). Thus, it may not have the athletic performance (endurance and possibly speed) decreasing effects of clen (which Ive written about and referenced studies about previously, so I wont get into that here& .its beyond the scope of this article). This is pure speculation on my part, and Cim may still have some of the performance decreasing effects of clen, but as other beta-andrenergic-agonists like ephedrine dont, I see no reason to think Cim does (as I havent read any studies which indicate this). In any case, alot of the studies Ive read and compared with those on Clenbuterol seem to indicate that Cimaterol is actually more potent for fat burning than clen is.
Ok...so now you know what I have to say about Cimaterol, lets see what some other people have said...
Heres Dan Duchaine (R.I.P.) had to say about Cimaterol:
"Until some new synthetic beta-3 agonist is commercially available, the beta agonist of choice is still clenbuterol (although the STRONGER cimaterol is available as a research chemical in the U.S.)."
Doug Kalman (author of "Fat Attack)" has written about Cimaterol, and said:
"Though its yet to be tested in humans, animal studies have determined that Cimaterol is a more powerful beta-agonist than clenbuterol, promotes protein retention and accretion, and has shown powerful anti-catabolic properties in cases of cancer or burns."
So yeah, not only is this stuff a great fat-burner, its anti-catabolic.
Looks promising, huh? Unfortunately, it down regulates the beta receptors just as clen does (J Anim Sci. 1992 Jan; 70(1):115-22.) so a 3 week on 1 week off type of schedule may be appropriate, as would the addition of Ketotifen after ever 3 weeks (and not going off the cimaterol& so in 4 weeks on cimaterol, every 4th week youd be adding in 2-3 mgs of Ketotifen every night before you go to bed). You could also use 50mgs of Banadryl instead of the Ketotifen, in the same manner.
As with any new drug, caution should be taken with this stuff.
A dose of 0.15 milligram per kilogram administered subcutaneously is the standard dose in a lot of human studies, so Id be comfortable trying that dose myself, but Id prefer a tablet (which is also available). Thats a fraction of any sort of dangerous dose.
Cimaterol, LD50:
1973 mg/kg (male)
and 1745 mg/kg (female)

There is no doubt in my mind when King Gustav V from Sweden told Jim Thorpe: "You sir, are the World's Greatest Athlete" after he won the 1912 Stockholm Olympics Decathlon, that Jim Thorpe had started out his Decathlon journey (plus all the other individual track & field events he took part in those Olympics) in one of the healthiest and fittest forms of his life.
It's with great sadness then that I have decided not to take part in the Decathlon event this weekend, due to an ankle injury I picked up earlier the week.
The injury happened while performing a routine parkour performance in London, and although the ankle was not severely damaged or very serious, thanks to a number of factors including a very good warm-up beforehand, it was enough to cause swelling and light bruising. With these sorts of injuries I've learned that the infamous R.I.C.E. (Rest Ice Compression Elevation) plays an important role in recovery, and I managed to get all this started within minutes of the injury thanks to a handy wine cooler and a bucket of ice nearby.
The on-site nurse completed a quick check up, and I was able to get home to relax without the need for Zimmer frames, wheelchairs or the use of the local paramedic helicopter. :-)
Even though it's been 5 days since the injury and the original swelling has gone down a lot with only a small patch of bruising visible, I still do not feel I should be battering my body through the hard knocks of a 2 day decathlon course. It's very sad, but I'll be sure to reap the long-term benefits from this decision instead.
I have a number of other very interesting events coming up at the end of this month and next, such as running parkour workshops at the White Air Extreme Sports Festival on the Isle of Wight and taking contestants through the official parkour checkpoint for The London Rat Race. From the way the recovery is going so far I should be fighting fit and ready to go by then.
The Decathlon, I'm sad to say, will have to wait......... for now. ;-)

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lemi Shine. All opinions are 100% mine.
Is it too early to be thinking about the holidays? September went by in the blink of an eye and since October is sure to follow, that can only mean one thing: it's time to start planning your holiday get togethers. And the cleaning sessions that come along with them.
Last year my husband and I hosted Thanksgiving at our house for the first time, and I can honestly say I now understand all the blood, sweat and tears that go into making your home holiday ready. After weeks of planning the menu, preparing the dishes, and making sure all my to-dos were checked off the list, I almost forgot to clean (crazy, I know!). The holiday just crept up on me, and I found myself frantically washing the windows as family walked through the door. This year I'm determined to get my deep cleaning out of the way ahead of time so I can actually enjoy the holiday season.
Whether you're hosting dinner with relatives or the annual cookie exchange with your girlfriends, a super clean home will allow you and your holiday decorations to shine. And as if that weren't enough, deep cleaning beforehand can make the holidays a little less stressful so you can kick back, relax and enjoy the party once it arrives.
Clean freaks deserve cleaning products that meet their high standards and make cleaning effortless. With the help of Lemi Shine, you can clean your home from top to bottom without the questionable chemicals. Get your dinnerware spot free, spiff up your countertops and take care of those stubborn odors that plague your garbage disposal. And don't forget those well-loved appliances! Naturally freshen up your washing machine and give your oven a little TLC to keep them humming all season long.
6 Deep Cleaning Tips to Get You Ready for the Holidays
Here are 6 deep cleaning tips to help you get a leg up on all your holiday preparations.
1. Clean your dinnerware and serving pieces ahead of time
I have some favorite glasses and serving pieces that have been passed down from my grandmother to my mother and now to me. And nothing says Christmas! quite like eggnog in my vintage cups and a roast on my grandmother's china. But since the holidays only come once a year, my good dinnerware hasn't seen the light of day in well over 10 months. Give your favorite pieces a good scrubbing with Lemi Shine Concentrated Dish Soap, and easily get rid of built up dust and grime. I especially love that the Lemi Shine Dish Soap dispenser is made so you can use every last drop. Say goodbye to the gunky dried soap dribble around the dispenser and the lingering soap in the bottom of the bottle!
And if your dishwasher is anything like mine, it might leave your dishes looking a little lackluster (hello, water spots). If so, hard water is probably to blame. Rather than settling for filmy, cloudy dishes at your next dinner party, give them a good shine with Lemi Shine Dish Detergent Booster. Just combine a little with your dishwashing detergent and run your dishwasher as normal. It will help break down spots, stains, and film so your dishes shine like new.
3. Deep clean your washing machine
Even though you thoroughly washed your linens last year after the holidays (you did, didn't you?), if you haven't used them since then, they need a little freshening up. I remember helping my mom wash and dry the holiday tablecloths and napkins before Thanksgiving dinner every year as a kid. She managed to turn it into a tradition of sorts—something she and I always did together while drinking cider and eating sugar cookies. And in the process she taught me that laundry is only ever as clean as your washing machine! So before tossing your linens in the washer, use Lemi Shine's Washing Machine Cleaner to remove mineral buildup and smelly gunk. Simply pour it into your machine and run a cycle like normal. The cleaner will get into all the nooks and crannies (even the hose) so your laundry looks fresh and smells clean.
3. Get the grime out of your dishwasher
Cleaning the appliance that cleans your dishes may seem unnecessary, but trust me when I say, it's totally not. Even if you run your dishwasher often, food, grease and soap scum have a tendency to collect in the bottom of the dishwasher, causing it to smell funny and leave your dishes less than sparkling. Lemi Shine Dishwasher Cleaner gets into all the hidden crevices of your dishwasher to remove the gross gunk you'd rather not think about. Use it at least once a month to keep your dishwasher running at its max efficiency.
4. Sanitize your garbage disposal
Ahhh, the garbage disposal. So handy and yet so… smelly. Of all the places in the kitchen that could benefit from a little clean freak love, this is it. Simply pop a Disposal Cleaner in your sink and watch it scrub away the odor-causing gunk and grime, leaving your kitchen smelling fresh.
5. Clean your appliances
To most of us, the holidays mean one thing: family. Okay, and another thing: food. I have vivid memories of making Santa Clause cookies with grandmother every year until I was about 20. We would spend hours baking batch after batch of cookies, and it's a wonder her vintage 1960's oven could handle it! Between the roasts, casseroles, cookies and eggnog, your appliances are sure to take a beating. But thanks to Lemi Shine's Everyday Cleaner, your appliances will be better able to hold up to the wear and tear that comes with holiday gatherings. Lemi Shine Everyday Cleaner contains GUNKGUARD™, a natural polymer that creates an invisible, protective layer on surfaces. Use it to clean the microwave, oven door and other hard surfaces, and watch as it makes them easier to clean again and again.
6. Don't forget the finger prints, dust and water spots
Windows, bathroom counters and table tops are often overlooked when it comes to holiday cleaning. Rather than waiting until the last minute when your guests are walking through the door, clean them every couple weeks to keep them looking fresh and clean all season long. Lemi Shine Glass + Surface Cleaner gives surfaces a streak free shine while also adding a dust resistant barrier so surfaces look cleaner longer. With the help of GUNKGUARD, it even makes surfaces smudge- and dust-resistant so they're easier to clean next time.

The use of a national flag in any marketing or promotional setting is fraught with risk.
When it's the Stars and Stripes, that risk rises into the infra-red.
So you would think when Chicago's Northwestern University and American sports clothing company Under Armour decided to team up to design flag-themed football uniforms for the latter, they would have been uber cautious.
The idea behind the uniforms was noble: to honor veterans and raise money and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Unfortunately, the design appeared to splatter the helmet, gloves and boots with streaks of blood.
The ensuing outcry was understandable.
The university and the clothing company acted swiftly and apologised, claiming the streaks of blood were a misinterpretation.
Northwestern said the special uniforms' pattern "was inspired by the appearance of a flag that has flown proudly over a long period of time. We apologize that the design element could be misinterpreted".
Under Armour described the design as "an authentic distressed pattern which depicts a flag that has flown proudly over a long period of time".
The blue-and-white side of the uniform shows similar blue streaks.
The lesson here is when you're using something as iconic and emotive as Old Glory, you need to be ultra cautious. Use focus groups to road test the design.
Social media will ensure any mistakes are spotted and promoted rapidly.
The founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Paul Rieckhoff, tweeted: "Northwestern Honors Wounded Troops With Gore-Porn Football Uniforms".

Most of you know I lost my job over a year ago. The worst part was I worked for 7 years without any benefits, retirement, social security, and have had no unemployment salary to compensate. I did go through about 6 months of anger, resentment, and picked out my frustrations severely on my family. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that I began to feel peace and reevaluate my goals for my future employment and the future of our family. Today I became an official student at National University. My classes begin next Tuesday. I just ordered my books online. I will be taking special education and in about 2 years or less (depending on what transfers) I will also have my Masters. I am excited about this new venture. I am also nervous about being the student again. It has been almost 10 years. One huge plus is that until next spring my classes are all online. I know it will be hard work and I will need to take out loans, but the job prospects and $$$$$$ will all make up for everything in the end. Hi ho hi ho its back to school I go. Boo hoo and bye bye extra fun stuff and vacation.

Good luck at school! It's great that you can start online. Makes the adjustment that much easier. Yes, all the hardship now will pay for itself at the end.

On both the legacy edit page and the visual editor edit dialog, I think we should be encouraging lots of prose in the edit summary field. It seems there is no consensus about this yet, it's implemented differently in many places. Whatever decision is taken, we should be consistent across editor interfaces, upload wizards, etc.
This is the editor's big chance to explain "why" they made an edit. Sometimes a short message is appropriate, and other times a longer message, relevant URLs, and so on.
Current behavior is badly broken for both editing interfaces, if there's too much text it will be scrolled horizontally or vertically in a tiny box. At the very least we should be auto-sizing the field. Even better, start it off as three lines tall, and provide the resizing handle in the corner. Do something reasonable about handling the <return> key.

Aust punters slam Dallas Buyers Club case
As thousands of Australians nervously wait to hear if they'll be fined for illegally downloading Dallas Buyers Club, many have taken to Twitter to voice their concerns.
Internet providers on Tuesday lost a Federal Court battle to keep secret the names of customers who downloaded the movie over file-sharing networks.
The landmark piracy judgment means almost 5000 Aussies could soon get legal threats arriving in the mail, and many aren't happy about it.
"Irony of makers of a film about working around the system suing people for working around a system," Julie-Ann Robson tweeted.
"I remember back in the day when a punishment for downloading a Matthew McConaughey film was having to sit through it," Sydney man Brendan Johnson Tweeted.
"It wasn't even one of the top 20 pirated films in 2014...people didn't even want to see it for free," Rashid Kazak Tweeted.
However, other punters felt "stealing" the film was indefensible, and had serious ramifications for the industry.
"I stand by the decision for #DallasBuyersClub to seek compensation. It's not about the money, it's about the principle," Melbourne-based woman Alyssa Anderton posted.
"#DallasBuyersClub simple. don't steal intellectual property. Free entertainment is not a right," Dame Bernadette Tweeted.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Dealing with family law issues?
Family law generally concerns domestic relations and family-related matters such as marriage, civil unions, domestic partnerships, adoptions, paternity, guardianships, domestic abuse, surrogacy, child custody, child abduction, the dissolution of marriage and associated issues. Each state has its own set of family laws, and traveling across state borders can sometimes affect your rights and those of your family.
Contrary to popular belief, seeking the advice of a family law attorney does not necessarily mean that something is amiss in your family. A family law attorney can help negotiate prenuptial/premarital agreements for clients in anticipation of marriage or advise same-sex couples on relevant legal issues affecting their relationship. They also can help with adoption proceedings and other procedures involving children.
Family law attorneys often do represent clients seeking a divorce, annulment or legal separation, and the complicated issues that can arise as a result. Although domestic abuse is a criminal offense, some family law attorneys are skilled at handling these situations, as they are often entangled with other family law issues.
Some jurisdictions certify lawyers as family law specialists, which means these attorneys have met the certifying body's minimum requirements for education, experience, and examination.
No-Fault Proceeding: A civil case in which parties may resolve their dispute without a formal finding of error or fault.
Paternity Suit: A lawsuit to determine the father of a child whose parents were not married when the child was born.

Dear Fitness Fusion Family & Coaches,
I stumbled upon your florescent signs after I had gotten lost in the mill building one afternoon. I wasn't sure what was behind the coded door, or if there really was some life-changing fitness place tucked inside an old mill. But I grabbed a business card, headed to my car, and made sure I began my efforts to find out what Fitness Fusion was all about. My passion for fitness, though, extends far beyond my curiosity of a set of locked doors. When I was 15, my only ride home to and from school was my older brother, Collin. We were close enough that we shared similar interests and were able to get along for a few hours at a time. Everyday, my brother would spend his afterschool hours playing basketball with his friends before heading home. Me, being unlicensed and without any sort of desire to walk home, was left with two options. A. Playing basketball with a group of older boys. Or B. going into the YMCA and figuring things out on my own. So inside I went.
As I carried a strict routine of going to the gym throughout high school and after I graduated, I realized it was more than just a bit of interest. It was my form of therapy, it was the clanging of the weights, the sweat down my face and the cleared space in my head that made me feel better. It wasn't long into my fitness career before people had started approaching me at my gym. Some, with new workout ideas, some helped me correct my form, and I was even asked to show what workout I was doing to some of the members. Slowly, I began to become friends with some of the trainers there and built a wonderful community of people around me who all shared a similar passion. This is when I realized how much of a positive impact exercise truly had on my life.
I was a part of my first gym for six years. It was comfortable, motivating, and gave me a space to balance myself. But as I began to get into routine I knew I needed something more. I signed up for my NASM Personal Training Certification (National Academy of Sports Medicine) class last fall. At the time, I knew it was what I wanted to pursue. After testing out a few gyms in the area, I was almost constantly disappointed. I gave up my search for a bit, until I stumbled across the words "Fitness Fusion" that lit up a long dark hallway. I almost immediately was greeted by a "Hello Paris!" text from Brian when I signed up for my first free week. I was nervous, intimidated and honestly almost backed out of my first class. At the beginning of my workout, Brian led the warm up and gave instructions which I had never really had before. It was different, and I immediately knew this was a place I wanted to be a part of.
After I had spent a few days at Fitness Fusion, I mentioned that I was in school in hopes of becoming a Personal Trainer. Brian quickly took me under his wing, and offered me an opportunity as an Intern and I simply could not deny it. Through times I didn't want to even get out of bed, to moments where I felt like completely giving up, the gym was the only thing that held me together at the end of a long day, so I knew I couldn't let an opportunity like this pass.
Starting at a new gym can be terrifying and to be honest, it really was. But my fear of failure and all of the other fears that ran through my mind were almost completely diminished when I started my internship. The first two weeks I learned more than I ever thought I would have. I was shocked that someone wanted to teach me, and that every single person at the gym welcomed me with pleasant smiles and fist bumps. Although I was given a text book from my course, they hadn't taught me anything like I have learned at Fitness Fusion.
I was immediately pushed out of my comfort zone of working out alone, and it was my first time ever being able to watch trainers and learn from some of the best out there. I was able to watch each of the trainers teach their classes, and study closely different techniques each of them had used.
But it wasn't only observing trainers, I was able to assist in some of the classes and help people correct form, modify an exercise, or demonstrate a movement. At the end of every two-week period I was given a quiz on some of the study material, and in class material I had learned. They were impressive, and really made me dig deep into everything I had learned so far.
As the weeks progressed, I was learning an abundance of things and I was surprising myself everyday with how knowledgeable I really was. Close to the end of my internship at Fitness Fusion, one of my assignments (and my favorite so far) in replacement of a quiz, was to write and design my own Small Group and Large Group workout. And to my surprise, it only had taken me an hour to create my very own workout for both groups. I took the day, to extensively go over all of the workout to make sure it was just perfect and even ran myself through it at my gym in town.
Everyday at Fitness Fusion, there was a pleasant smile, a warm hand to high five, and a positive word cheered across the room. I have learned so much here, and it was such a wonderful experience to work closely with both trainers and members. As I will finish my internship with this, my passion for fitness and my fitness career does not end here. As I am avidly shooting for my Certification, I feel more prepared now than ever. I cannot thank the trainers here enough; Brian, Jared, Marlene and Kaisa, and to all the Fitness Fusion family for making everything possible. GET FUSED ON THREE!

Hey guys, I have a friend who promotes for high end clubs with celebrities, models, high status guys but it's a very hard barrier to entry. Usually, it requires a guy to have at least 2 model looking girls with you.
High end clubs
How should I structure my approaches to look now like a friendly guy that offers them value and gets them into the club where they party with my promoter friend and myself?
What would be the best ways to do pick-up in such high end environment?

Upper primary school mathematics question UPQ136
Teacher in charge of the event prepared a box of pens and pencils to use in the school anniversary event. If the teacher took out 140 pencils, 1/3 of the remaining items in the box were pencils. If the teacher took out 25% of the pens, then ¼ of the remaining items in the box were pens.
(a) How many pens were there in the box at first?
(b) How many pencils were there?
Draw the math model based on the above two 'if's.
To note that the number of pens and pencils are constant
25% of the pens ==> 1/4 of the total number of pens
From the model,
7 units = 140
1 unit = 20
Pens in the box at first = 4 × 20 = 80
Pencils in the box = 9 × 20 = 180

Tonight I spoke at our local Sierra Club about image design and the art of nature photography. It was great to meet some new friends and I always enjoy yakking about my work. I showed about 60 images from our national parks as examples to explaining image design principles taught to me by Freeman Patterson and Brenda Tharp. At some point in your development as an photographic artist you want to go beyond camera skills. Learning how to "see" is the basis for developing your own style of photography. I recommend highly the following 2 books if you are ready to progress: Creative Nature and Outdoor Photography by Brenda Tharp, Photography and the Art of Seeing by Freeman Paterson. Most nature photographers have some connection to the Sierra Club. It may be significant or indirect. All who enjoy our National Parks and the results of conservation movements can give thanks to organizations like the Sierra Club, who had the early foresight to raise the red flag to so many situations that had the potential to destroy our natural treasures in the name of progress and industry. My introduction came in high school, where I by chance picked up a 1972 Sierra Club Engagement Calendar. It was one of those spiral bound datebooks with a beautiful image for each week. I remember being fascinated with the photography, not only the technical quality but the beauty and interest in each image. Where were these places, what were these rocks, plants, and details, how could I create images like these? I wanted to know and do.
Back in those dark ages, photography could only be enjoyed by books and magazines. I never had access to viewing a fine art print until much later. Fortunately, the Sierra Club and Ballantine Books had a series of larger format paperback books with inspiring photography. Everytime I went out to photograph, I can remember trying to reproduce those classic images of trees, flowers, and landscapes in these beautiful publications. It's interesting to view an old book that influenced you. Most of the time I'm so impressed at what was accomplished with film, and how the "style" of nature photography promoted by Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, David Meunch, and the likes continues to influence nature photography today. That's why I love used book stores, because it's fun to see where your photography came from. And I'm still looking for that engagement calendar.

HA NOI (VNS) — Police in Ha Noi City on Saturday arrested five people for using fake credit cards to conduct transactions and steal hundreds of millions of dong.
The five suspects, ages 24 to 42, include Nguyen Huy Long and Vu Thanh Quang, who reside in the city, Hoang Thi Minh of northern Hai Phong City, and two Chinese.
The suspects were discovered after using false passwords for credit cards issued by foreign banks to conduct 77 transactions, worth over VND5 billion (US$238,000), through the Bank for Foreign Trade of Viet Nam (Vietcombank) from late December through January 7. Suspecting the transactions to be forged, Vietcombank only honored 6 of them, worth VND432 million ($20,000).
The investigation into the fraud is continuing. — VNS

The "iPhone of Recruiting" Keeps Sodastream Growing
Comeet helps Sodastream coordinate 8 recruiters, boost hiring efficiency, and improve global recruiting.
Sodastream's star has soared in recent years, with a NASDAQ listing, a high-profile Super Bowl XLIX ad campaign, and explosive brand awareness. This put pressure on the HR team to feed growth with a stream of new hires. After Michal Lubovsky joined in 2013 as Global Recruitment Manager, a priority was upgrading recruiting technology.
"Sodastream's rapid growth created a lot of gaps in our systems. Process issues are common for growth companies, but with an average of 50-60 open positions, we needed to close them. This meant replacing spreadsheets and Outlook, and consolidating everything on a modern recruiting platform that could grow with us."
Defining What a Global Recruiting Platform Must Do
A former Talent Acquisition Manager at Teva Canada and Intel Israel, Lubovsky spent a year conducting a needs analysis and creating a systems requirement spec. The spec defined a platform to power all global recruiting activities; from screening resumes and scheduling interviews, to evaluating candidates and generating reports.
"We looked at pretty much every vendor that matters in the ATS and recruiting software industry. Many were just too big and complicated for us – even their vanilla versions. We often found the application process was not very easy, among other things, and just weren't convinced the cost was justifiable."
Meeting The iPhone of Recruiting
During the vendor review, a professional colleague recommended Lubovsky consider Comeet. Having already defined a system specification, and newly familiar with the shortcomings of other vendors, she added it to the list of potential vendors. The Comeet trial period lasted two months, which proved it was the best mix of functionality and affordability. She stopped looking.
"Comeet's user interface and overall ease of use are key differentiators, and definitely unique in HR software. Compared to everyone else, who struggle to make cumbersome processes easy, Comeet is the iPhone of recruiting. It combines a lot of features, and a UI and UX into a really functional and efficient recruiting system for candidates, recruitment teams and managers."
Lubovsky has been progressively deploying throughout Sodastream. She describes the training process as "painless and successful," something she found surprising as few Sodastream recruiters or Hiring Managers had any prior experience with Applicant Tracking Systems. A brief training session later, and Lubovsky reports that trainees are able to understand how Comeet works, create job postings, add candidates, review resumes and begin customizing hiring workflows.
"Comeet is so much easier and more efficient than what we did before. It's been very easy for everyone to pick up. Their new abilities to do things, such as comb the database for existing candidate profiles, puts a smile on a lot of faces and saves hours and hours."
Influencing Comeet's Product Roadmap
Lubovsky is also influencing Comeet's future by delivering feedback to customer service and technical teams on features and functionality she values.
"I'd describe Comeet to my recruiting peers as an ultra-advanced recruiting platform that's clean, neat, and professional. Comeet also has an amazing technical team that continuously improves the platform. This is vital for us because we now depend on Comeet as the central nervous system for our recruiting teams globally."

Veteran funnyman Bill Cosby has fallen out with Donald Trump after criticizing the property mogul's ambition to run for office in the U.S.
The comedian spoke out about Trump's plan to launch a bid for the White House in 2012 during an interview on America's Today show last week. He appeared on the program shortly after Trump, telling host Meredith Vieira, "He's full of it… You run, or shut up… but the only thing he's running is his mouth".
Cosby's comments angered Trump and the tycoon has now released a furious statement, condemning "The Cosby Show" star's words.
Trump says, "The other day on the Today show, right after I was interviewed by Meredith Vieira… I happened to watch Bill Cosby who was on at the end of the show. While I have never been a fan of Cosby's, I had always assumed he liked or respected me because every time I met him … he was always so nice, saying, 'Let's get together' – asking me out to dinner, and being polite…"
"In any event, as I watched the (Today) show… I was surprised to hear him blabber, somewhat incoherently, 'You run or shut up.' The hatred was pouring out of his eyes when he said this…"
"I wish he would be more honest, and if he doesn't want me to run because he's obviously an (Barack) Obama fan, he should state the reasons and not come into my 'green room' in front of numerous witnesses and treat me like his best friend, only to denigrate me when I'm not around. Sadly, he got more attention talking about me than he did on the merits of his own appearance – maybe he is not as dumb as I thought."

Expert Decorating Tips For New-Build Homes
Designer Jenna Cadieux shares how she transformed a new-build into a warm and inviting home for a family. Get her decorating advice and tips for using layers and texture to bring coziness to spare, modern spaces.
To divide the open floor plan, Jenna used light fixtures, area rugs and drapery to delineate the living room, kitchen and dining area. In the chef's kitchen, three geometric brass pendants hover over a large island, bringing contrast and warmth to the space. A mango wood dining table grounds the eat-in area just off the kitchen, and is accented with a mix of chairs for a more casual, laid-back look. The living room boasts a marble fireplace with built-ins on either side, which Jenna brightened with stylish vignettes. Caramel, pecan and ivory tones layer color into the room, while a large L-shaped sofa provides comfort for the entire family.

Desiree Linden became the first American to win the Boston Marathon women's race in 33 years as amateur Yuki Kawauchi won the men's event.
Two-time Olympian Linden who is 33 years old, crossed the line in two hours 39 minutes 54 seconds in wet conditions. Lisa Larsen Weidenbach had been the last American woman to win the Boston Marathon, in 1985. Kawauchi – the first Japanese man to win in Boston since 1987 – finished in 2:15:58. The 31-year-old finished ninth at the World Championships in London last year, having risen to prominence after finishing third at the 2011 Tokyo Marathon.

YouTube's Uncertain Future/

In its new scorched earth approach, Youtube is terminating hundreds of thousands of partnerships. Will this make or break the site?Read More
This month marks four years working in the Post Office. I don't know whether that deserves celebrating or despair, but the time spent on the post office counter has yielded some of the more bizarre experiences in my working life. Some of the stories are too good to simply rattle around in my brain, so the more interesting ones will be published here.
To start with, I've got a real thriller - one of the few moments I've ever worried about my safety at work.
A few months into the job I get a phone call that went something like this.
"Post office, Patrick speaking."
"Hi, do you have a parcel under [surname] there?"
I go find the parcel on the shelf. It's a small box about the size of two bricks. Experience tells me it's got something pretty valuable in it. "Yep, it's here."
"If they come in to pick up the parcel, I want you to call the police."
Her direct tone leaves me speechless for a moment. She continues, filling the vacuum of silence.
"My husband had his wallet stolen a few weeks ago, and somebody has ordered all this stuff in his name. When they come in to pick it up, I want you to call the police."
This is well outside of anything I've been trained for. I transfer the call to my manager, who can deal with it. She makes a few phone calls and quietly hides the parcels in the back.
I think nothing more about this situation for a few hours. The manager keeps making calls to figure out exactly what she should do with the parcels, and then he arrives.
The fraudster is about a foot taller than me, 50 kilos heavier and has a genial expression. He's here to pick up the parcels, and hands me a drivers license with the guy's name on it. A three year old could tell this license is fake. On the surface it all adds up, the photo, the name and address all match, but the card looks like it was printed on an inkjet printer. But most of all it's flimsy - I could bend it in half with two fingers - whereas the licenses in my state are pretty thick.
"The parcel looks something like this," he says, reaching over the desk and pointing at a similar parcel on the shelf."
I mumble something about going to check in the back, then rush in to the manager to tell them he's here.
"Stall him!" she says.
I pretend to look for the parcels on shelves, going through practically all the parcels. Meanwhile my co-worker conveniently disappears into the back, leaving me alone to deal with the fraudster. I'm trying to keep all the other customers calm without giving anything away too.
After a few minutes of this fairly obvious act, the fraudster becomes restless. "If you can't find it, I can come back later if you want," he says.
"No it's ok, this happens all the time. We probably put it under the wrong name or something. Let me check in the back."
I go tell the manager what's happening. "Keep stalling him! The police are on their way."
Bloody hell, it's easier said than done. I do my best to reassure him that we'll find his parcel, while serving a few other customers to clear out the rapidly forming queue. He's getting more restless by the second. I'm frankly amazed he's still buying the act I've put together.
After what seems like hours, I see two police officers walking up the store. Never have I been more relieved to see a cop. They're sneaking up to the counter until one of their radios squawks, alerting the fraudster to their presence five metres away.
He turns around slightly and seeing the police in his peripheral vision, quietly starts to try leaving the shop. The cops have blocked both aisles, there's no escape. He's hauled out the shop by both officers, who return shortly to take the parcels, the license, the CCTV and our details.
Here's a new short, 2-3 part D&D series based on a session friend hosted. Let's begin by introducing my character...
I am Grenville Grenville. No I didn't stutter, that's just my father's cruel sense of humour. Us Grenvilles were a large, loud and proud clan, a pillar of society in Middleton. That was long ago, with the last of the Grand Grenvilles dying out when their croquet club caught fire with everyone inside.
A highborn brought low, my father was a bitter man. He felt as though the world owed him everything and when things didn't break his way, he was driven to drink. Needless to say, I found it beneficial to stay out of sight. While other children played in the street, I hid in the shadows.
I always wanted to join the thieves guild, it seemed like a nice fit. Membership dues were prohibitive, so other application methods had to be discovered.
To impress them, I stole the family's ceremonial great axe, wielded by Baron Hendersrick Grenville centuries earlier in the battle of Hargarforingus. Trying to sneak into the guild was a foolish choice, they spotted me before I got halfway up their walls. To make matters worse, they said the axe was a fake, my father had lost the real one in a poker game long ago.
When word got out I became the laughing stock of town. My uncle was the worst, insisting my father disown me. The joke's on him now though, I made a example of him during initiation for the assassin's guild and got immediately welcomed in.
This job should be easy, provided I can find the damn place... A sheep rustler has been attacking farms in the Kettle Plains and he must have pissed off the wrong farmer. The bounty for this job would see me through to harvest time, if I can track the guy.
I've been traipsing through these woods for days looking for a way through. I'll bet the questmaster gave me incorrect bearings again.
A figure is walking ahead of me. I sneak up behind him until he's within earshot. He seems to know where he's going and might be my ticket out of here, no sense neutralising him and looting the corpse, yet. I step on a well placed twig.
"Who goes there?"
"Hello there, I'm a little lost. I've been walking in circles for days now, could you help me out of here?"
He lets go of his axe handle. "Oh good, you're not a threat. My name's Brynjar, what's yours?"
Ha! The day's not over yet. "It's Grenville. I'm headed towards the Kettle Plains, some days east of here. Do you know the way?"
"I'm headed to Chamomile Town, it's about a day's walk north east of there. You're welcome to follow me, I'll be setting up camp soon."
We walk for an hour until the sun starts to go down. The trees have thinned out a little and we spotted some remote farms on the journey. Brynjar pitches a tent and builds a fire, while I climb a nearby tree and settle into the crook of a branch.
Brynjar sleeps uneasily. Second only to killing, this is the best part of being an assassin. Everyone is so scared of you, as if you're a loaded crossbow, ready to fire at any moment. That sense of unease has got me out of more binds than you could imagine.
The next morning I wash my face in a nearby spring before watching the sunrise. Brynjar saddles up his horse and we set off.
Brynjar dozes in the saddle, the product of last night's unease. Fortunately the track only broadens as we descend back to civilisation and it's easy enough for me to lead his horse.
About mid morning we reach Chamomile Town. The guards are hassling everyone looking to enter the walls and we're not immune.
"What's your business here?" They ask.
"I'm just picking up provisions on my journey to Coppertin."
They seem convinced, but are a little more wary of Brynjar. His large axe blades can be seen over his shoulders, what an amateur.
"You need to surrender those weapons before entering these gates. Nobody is allowed weapons in this town," the second, burlier guard says.
"Chief's policy. Keeps the crime down."
Looking a bit put out as if he won't see them again, he hands the two axes over. "These had better be here when I leave."
"Yes, you can pick them up on your way out of town, they won't go anywhere," he says, then turns to me. "And you, your weapons too."
I feel like putting up a fight, but there's no point drawing attention to myself. Town guards are selected for muscles, not reason. I pull a rusty, notched dagger from my belt that I use for this sort of situation. "This had better be here when I get back too, I don't want anything bad to happen to it."
The guard takes it, looking at me like I've just told a bad joke. "Any other weapons?"
The guards both nod, then stand aside to let us in the gate. Our weapons are carried to a gatehouse where they will be kept until we leave, or until a captain fancies the look of them. My razor sharp rapier and good dagger are bundled up in my pack - this is not the place to brandish weapons unless you're spoiling for a fight. I could have told Brynjar that, but then again, he drew all the attention and I must have looked like a harmless waif to them.

The online humour website Cracked has fired a large number of their senior writers, including every star from their Youtube series After Hours and Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder.
This comes after their parent company, Scripps, wrote down the value of the site by $35.7 million earlier this year after buying it in 2016 for $39 million.
The site itself is yet to release a statement on the layoffs, however the site's Executive Editor David Wong wrote in a forum post that the site will continue as normal with the help of existing freelancers and contributors.
There is no information on the future of Cracked's Youtube channel, with several of their flagship shows now without their main characters.
After Hours, Some News, Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder and Escort mission are now without hosts. Several more untitled video formats will now require new hosts.
Some of the senior writers affected include Cody Johnston, Daniel O'Brien, Michael Swain, Katy Stoll, Katie Willert, Ian Fortey, John Cheese, Jacopo della Quercia and Josh Sargent.
This wave of layoffs comes after the site's co-founder and host of their podcast, Jack O'Brien, left the site in June this year.
More to come - subscribe to the weekly newsletter to be notified.
Turns out this is the last video I wrote/ will write for Cracked. Thank you to everyone for everything over the years ❤! Watch it if you want - or don't! What do i care ;) (https://t.co/NEvP4HOCp6— Katy Stoll (@katystoll) December 5, 2017
Cracked was ten years of my life. It might be impossible to top that time. I'm so lucky and grateful. I'm just some kid from Jersey.— Daniel O'Brien (@DOB_INC) December 5, 2017
The last 10 years of my life have been made so wonderful by my @cracked family. I'm heartbroken by the news of some of the most talented people I know now being out of work. Today sucks.— Katie Willert (@kawillert) December 5, 2017
From our last After Hours shoot. I love these three a whole lot.
A post shared by Katie Willert (@kawillert) on
I am officially looking for writing and/or editing work. If anyone has any leads or openings, please feel free to pass them along.— John Cheese (@johncheese) December 4, 2017
So, what's next for Cracked? There's a bit to unpack here.
Firstly, there's three editorial sections of the company - The Site, Podcasting and Youtube.
Cracked is still alive and I still work there and my plan is to keep publishing good things until the sun swallows the earth. But yeah there are some amazing people out there looking for work.— David Wong (@JohnDiesattheEn) December 5, 2017
We've seen what's next for the site earlier - it's business as usual according to the site's Executive Editor, David Wong. He is still with the company and appears fiercely committed to its future.
Its Podcasting division has undergone a restructure and expansion after Co-Founder Jack O'Brien's departure. Once a weekly podcast hosted by the Co-Founder, the site now features half a dozen series on various topics, including a revamped weekly podcast hosted by Alex Schmidt. Apart from a few hosts lost to the layoffs, this division looks mostly safe.
Finally, there's Cracked.com's Youtube channel. It has notched up an impressive two million subscribers and more than 700 million views, so it's a pretty valuable part of the company.
There is no statement on the channel's future, but a regular viewer would notice the programming has become more generic in the past year. Fewer series are being made and there is a revolving door of presenters. The channel's long-running series, its major drawcard for fans, now find themselves without their actors/presenters.
Will they be replaced with new people, like the ill-fated attempt to launch a new After Hours spinoff with new actors?
Will they dump the hit shows and focus on what's left of the channel?
Will they bring the writers back just for the shows?
It's doubtful the shows will get unceremoniously dumped and just as unlikely that the same people will host the shows. My best guess is that they will replace the cast and weather the fan backlash. After all, they persevered with Alex Schmidt's New Guy series, even after the strong negative reaction.
It's a sad day for "America's Only Humour Website Since 1958". This is a site I grew up reading, poring over its articles and learning countless pop culture tidbits from its listicles.
Lately I have only watched their Youtube series, which have become cult hits on the site, and it's extremely sad to see them be thrown out the window like this.
I hope the powers that be at Cracked let these shows have some form of closure - or at least a quiet death - but I'm not holding my breath.
Greg Sestero doesn't mince his words when he talks about The Room.
The Disaster Artist takes us into the world of Tommy Wiseau and what it was like on the set of his magnum opus drama-turned-comedy.
We're seeing this movie about a book about the production of a movie at an advance screening put on by Cinema Nova in Carlton, a theatre that shows Wiseau's cult classic to loyal fans every month.
Before the movie plays we're treated to a Q&A with Greg Sestero, co-star of The Room and author of The Disaster Artist. He gives a new dimension to the the movie answering a raft of questions that range from the humdrum to the downright bizarre.
"Meeting Tommy the way I did ... for whatever fucked up reason, it's fate," he says in response to questions about whether he would change things in hindsight.
He refers to Tommy as the "greatest unintentional comedian," after attempting to make a hard hitting drama and somehow creating a cult comedy classic in the process.
When questions are opened up to the audience, people ask Sestero everything from Wiseau's ancestry and whether not he is a vampire, to his hygiene habits. Apparently Tommy "smelt pretty bad there for a while, it was pretty rough, but he's got great hygiene."
The movie itself opens with two down on their luck guys wanting to make it in showbiz.
James Franco plays Tommy Wiseau, the titular Disaster Artist. He nails the performance, right down to the iconic 'New Orleans' accent, sounding like a guy walking around with a mouth full of novacaine. His character is borderline surreal - Sestero explains in the Q&A that some test screenings couldn't believe this guy is a real person.
The biggest liability in making this comedy is Tommy himself, whose blessing was bestowed on Greg on one condition - a 40 second cameo beside James Franco - never mind they're the same character.
While making The Disaster Artist, they recreated 25 minutes of The Room in painstaking detail. While a number of these scenes are in the film, not all of them made the cut. But all is not lost - they will be found in the DVD release.
The film pays tribute to - but never explains - The Room's murky financing. It's budget is estimated at $6 million, the origins of which have baffled fans for more than a decade.
Overall this film is a fun look at how one of the most bizarre films in Hollywood was made. It captures the essence of the mysterious Tommy Wiseau, who approves of this film "ninety-nine point nine per cent," and does a stellar job in his cameo.
The Disaster Artist opens at Cinema Nova November 30. Special Screenings of The Room are on every month.

Singer, songwriter and rock n' roll soul siren Rosey, proclaimed "The Lovechild of Robert Plant and Rickie Lee Jones" by Entertainment Weekly, first received international attention with her major label debut, 'Dirty Child' (Island/Def Jam). Rosey appeared regularly on the pages of Billboard Magazine & Rolling Stone as a pioneer in the Urban Rock scene. She performed her Funky Rock & Roll on The Tonight Show, was shot by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair, toured alongside acts such as Morcheeba & Melissa Etheridge and made several appearances on her beloved KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. Rosey's music has been licensed to numerous TV shows & film soundtracks including Bridget Jone's Diary, Shallow Hal with opening credits on Something New by Sanaa Hamri. Her voice & words have been featured along side the likes of Reggie Watts, Beat Ventriloquists, Hilary Duff, Govinda & Susto, many of whom she also co-wrote, recorded & engineered tracks with including, Kelis, Raphael Saadiq, David Ryan Harris & Phillip Bailey. Chances are good you've heard her voice in some popular TV jingles. After many years as a pop writer for Warner Chappell, Rosey wrote and produced her own Jazz record which she is currently re-releasing along with the rest of her vast and eclectic catalog on her new ©ROSEYMUSIC record label. The past few years have found her hiding out in the greater Atlanta area of Georgia, where she has immersed herself in culture, started an organic farm, a musical collective and opened her own professional recording studio, working with amazing artists of all genres, while also engineering and producing her own records. Her upcoming album, 'I Heard You Been Singin' is the result of deep inner exploration and illuminations shared with her Southern Soul Brothers & Sisters in a deep state of Funk! Look for 'I Heard You Been Singin' being birthed into the consciousness in 2018.
New music video for Rosey's new single, King of the World, out soon!
"If I was the king of the world, I tell what I'd see… People in chains all over the world & I'd set 'em free!"
Lyrics from King of the World, the second single from Rosey's upcoming album I Heard You Been Singin.' Another classic tale of self-empowerment, written & produced by Rosey, reminding us to Go Deep! "Everyone's so down on the people in power in America. The system is so broken and it's breaking down all of us. We're all looking outside of ourselves for someone to lead us into the new age. We have the power to make great change happen within ourselves and learn how to lead by our own design. It's time to take our power back!" Rosey is a firm believer in the King, Queen & glorious Fool inside of every one of us.
The second single from Rosey's upcoming album I Heard You Been Singin
After years of success in LA, signing with multiple record labels, including Island/Def Jam, co-writing hit singles for other artists, and putting out records, Rosey felt it was time to leave LA. "I needed to reinvent my own method of writing my music. I needed to reinvent how I made music, too, which led me to becoming a studio engineer and owner." Since, Rosey has opened her own professional recording studio with engineer and record producer, Aaron Hill, in Atlanta leading her on another path to starting her own label, ©ROSEYMUSIC. Together, they have recorded a Rosey album that stays true to her genre-blending sound but brings forth a new organic, roots feel with Rock Psychedelia.
"Combining urban beats and electronic accents with a swirling touch of blues, alt-rock, and lowdown sass, Rosey serves up aheady musical potion. Her voice is even more off the mainstream mark; comparisons to Fiona Apple are undeniable, but there's a greater depth and sense of self that put a firm grip on listeners' ears and twist them in circles a couple times until all distractions are abandoned"
"Rosey has knocked out talent scouts on both coasts, including vocalist Perry Farrell and producer Tom Kernal (Jewel), who raved "I have seen the future of rock & roll, and her name is Rosey!"

Romantically filtered photos from around the studio this week. I'm trying to do at least one business-related thing each day (see:consistency). I keep close at heart the story of Nikola Tesla using a small machine, tapping at a regular interval, to almost shake apart a large building. 1,2,3 eventually builds to infinity. I'm cooking up and writing down lots of ideas and working on business-end type things and brand-type things but I'm having a hard time putting in ANY physical effort to make those ideas real. The creating has taken a back seat to the big picture, sadly. On the other hand, I'm still waiting on a bagful of parts to be cast. They say "one week" which always means "two weeks". That's the project I'm really itching to dig into. That and buying more Swarovski crystals at price. As Bootsy Collins sez, "Twinkle, twinkle, baby."
Studio Peep.
