Got results? You’ve been exercising on a regular basis for awhile. So, how’s it working for you? Are you noticing a change in your body? Or have you reached a plateau?
Monotonous weight routines. If you’ve been doing the exact same weight-training routine or watching 1980s aerobics videos on your old VHS player, then it’s time to mix it up! Your muscles adapt to any given exercise, which is why it’s important to consistently change your weight-training routine. Increase your weight size, add more reps, or try new exercises altogether to break through your muscle-building plateau.
Over-crunching. You do 500 sit-ups every night, and you wonder why your abs still aren’t flat. It’s probably because crunches strictly tend to work your rectus abdominus, just one of your abdominal muscles. In order to truly trim your waistline, you also need to work your external and internal obliques, and your transverse abdominus. Try a variety of abdominal exercises, including Pilates-based moves, to help whittle away your middle.
Cardio queen. aerobic exercise is important. You need it to burn calories and maximize heart health. But, cardio is just one part of a well-rounded fitness routine. You also need strength training and stretching. And don’t forget that good nutrition is a big part of your overall health too.
Rushing. When you race through your weight-training reps, you’re allowing momentum to take over, instead of using actual muscle. If you want to see more definition in your muscles, then you must stress the muscles to the point of fatigue. Focus on lifting and lowering your weights with steady control. Take your time, and think about the muscle behind every movement that you perform.
Relying on your workout only. If you are sedentary all day long, and rely solely on your workout to burn calories, then you are missing a wealth of opportunities to improve your overall fitness and well-being. Make just a couple of small changes to incorporate fitness all day long. Park in the farthest parking space when going to the grocery store. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. You’ll burn more overall calories throughout the day.

The decade of 1988-1998 was the Golden Age of VHS, a time when anybody with a pulse, a camcorder, and a few bucks could market a video. Comedy writers Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher have spent the last 20 years collecting the best odd and unintentionally hilarious videotapes ever produced. Since 2004, they’ve resurrected them for sold-out audiences across the country as part of their touring show, the Found Footage Festival. Now, for the very first time, they’ve collected the greatest VHS covers into one handsome compendium—along with their priceless snarky commentary throughout.
This is one of the best-known Hank Mobley recordings, and for good reason. Although none of his four originals (“Workout,” “Uh Huh,” “Smokin’,” “Greasin’ Easy”) caught on, the fine saxophonist is in top form. He jams on the four tunes, plus “The Best Things in Life Are Free,” with an all-star quintet of young modernists — guitarist Grant Green, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones — and shows that he was a much stronger player than his then-current boss Miles Davis seemed to think. This recommended CD reissue adds a version of “Three Coins in the Fountain” from the same date, originally released on Another Workout, to the original LP program. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Performers: Grant Green – Guitar; Hank Mobley – Sax (Tenor); Paul Chambers – Bass; Philly Joe Jones – Drums; Wynton Kelly – Piano

Why Are Caucasians Afraid of a African American President aren’t?
Americans talking out of two sides of their mouths?
Americans are so afraid of what other countries are thinking of
them, when something stupid happens.
Why aren’t Caucasians American afraid of what the world thinks of the way they are acting regarding a free election?
Doesn’t this show the world that Americans are hypocrites?
Why isn’t a Black Man ready to lead. Bush had a C- in college
2nd:
Where did this sense of entitlement come from?
Why do you hate the Clinton’s. Why do you hate
the Kennedy’s. Who do you like? Why do you like and
elect stupid people?
Wasn’t Rudy stupid enough?
Why not a African American President?
To that Mr Answer, your username should be Mr Dummie that can’t speak or write English down there.
You have to be one of Hillary’s Hispanic mole’s.
Obama was born in Hawaii. Last I looked it was part of the
USA. Just because it’s has water in between it’s America. Can
you say America?
Well I think its because they are afraid of black back lash, that
doesn’t exist.
Like Stephen Colbert said.
“Clinton attacking Obama, isn’t that black on black crime”
and Americans don’t care about anyone else but themselves
and their pocket books.
If people came in Green with little dollar signs all over their
bodies. then the world would be Kumbaya Land.

Like the film it accompanies, Marc Shaiman’s The American President focuses more on romance than on politics, even if the two ultimately prove inextricable. Shaiman’s soft-focus themes radiate warmth and affection, buoyed by a wry comic sensibility that keeps their saccharine level in check. Nevertheless, the music’s emphasis is squarely on the first half of the romantic comedy equation, and its eloquence and sophistication deserve praise. That said, it’s The American President’s flag-waving main theme that proves most memorable; it’s a stirring, deeply patriotic composition with the gravitas necessary to resurface in trailers for Steven Spielberg’s World War II epic Saving Private Ryan, and undoubtedly one of Shaiman’s signature moments. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) is a handsome, youthful widower and a dedicated Democrat raising a teenage daughter. He also just happens to be the president of the United States of America, and a very popular one at that. Unfortunately, he’s also quite lonely, and the life of a president leaves little time for dating. But when he meets luminous lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening), he’s instantly smitten and impulsively (and somewhat awkwardly) asks her out to a state dinner. Shocked and highly uncertain of what she’s getting into, Sydney accepts his invitation, and the courting process begins–to the unrelenting delight of the media. The chief executive’s protective staff, however, isn’t so sure the romance is a good thing, particularly when political paparazzi capture Sydney spending the night in the presidential bedroom. While intriguing to the press, the affair spells trouble in the form of Republican presidential hopeful Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss), who uses the romance to attack Shepherd’s supposed lack of family values and moral instincts. Rumson’s ploy works–Shepherd’s popularity plummets, weakening his reelection bid, his hand on Capitol Hill, and ultimately threatening his relationship with Sydney. If Shepherd salvages his political career, will it be at the expense of Sydney’s love?
Ronald Reagan: An American President documents the life and political career of the fortieth president of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Michael Douglas and Kevin Kline are both President and accounted for in two hit comedies about the nation’s Oval Office. Rob Reiner directs The American President [Side A], starring Douglas as a widower chief executive whose poll numbers plummet when he falls for an environmental lobbyist (Annette Bening). Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, Richard Dreyfuss and more top talents co-star in this nimble exploration of private romance in a public Presidency. And in a land where anybody can become President, anybody just did! Kline and Sigourney Weaver star in Dave [Side B], the wry Ivan Reitman-directed story of a lookalike who becomes a stand-in for the country’s actual President. From coast to coast the votes are in:this double feature is a winner by a landslide!
This collection is an in-depth profile of the first 41 American chief executives. Exclusive interviews with President Clinton and nearly all the other living former presidents help further understand these controversial leaders and their role in American history. Providing voices for presidents who held office before the development of sound recording are such political and media figures as Colin Powell, H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Bob Dole, Walter Cronkite, Don Imus, Ben Bradlee, John Glenn, James Carville, Andrew Young, and the Reverend Billy Graham.

With more than 300 never before seen illustrations, The President’s Table provides an insightful and entertaining look at our dining habits as the nation grew through social and economic change. The book reveals the parallel growth of the United States and its Chief Executives, and the diplomatic and political interests served along with Presidential meals.

We have a lot of VHS tapes that we do not use. I am not sure if we should get rid of them or not. Will they end up like 8 track tapes did in the 70’s or will they eventually be worth something?
It’s hard to tell what will happen, but my guess is they probably won’t because of how fragile VHS are and how cheap and durable DVDs are.
Transplanted from England to the not-so-mean streets of Chicago, the screen adaptation of Nick Hornby’s cult-classic novel High Fidelity emerges unscathed from its Americanization, idiosyncrasies intact, thanks to John Cusack’s inimitable charm and a nimble, nifty screenplay (cowritten by Cusack). Early-thirtysomething Rob Gordon (Cusack) is a slacker who owns a vintage record shop, a massive coll…

Peter Pan has a special place in the realm of classic animated Disney films: it instills an element of childlike wonder. The 1953 version of James M. Barrie’s story is colorfully told and keeps on the straight and narrow of the book.

In a near future USA an obscure inventor creates the Gizmo – a device which can duplicate anything, including itself. The social and economic implications of this machine are explored in a brilliant and terrifying extrapolation, first published in 1959. Damon Knight is an SFFWA Grandmaster.
Anything, the U.S. version of Martina Topley-Bird’s heavenly Quixotic debut album, arrived as something of a mixed blessing as the original U.K. pressing was utterly redesigned and resequenced, to emerge an almost completely different listening experience. The bad news first: no less than three songs have been dropped from Quixotic — “Lying,” “I Wanna Be There,” and, oddly, the Tricky production, “Stevie’s.” The original dynamic, too, has been shattered as the original album’s opening “Intro” becomes the closing “Outro,” and the remaining songs are shuffled away from any resemblance to their past appearance. The good news, however, is that all this messing around works, and works well. Without ever accusing Quixotic of going on too long, trimming its length does add a new tightness to the proceedings, and the rearranged track listing (opening with “Anything,” winding down with “Lullaby”) has its own internal sense as well. Of course, if you really care for Topley-Bird, you’re going to want the full-length U.K. album. But if you just want a great album, Anything will not disappoint. ~ Dave Thompson, Rovi
A powerful debut novel about a girl living a not-so-glamorous life in a city that’s all about glamour. It always sounds way more glamorous than it is when Susie Shannon tells people that she’s from Miami. But Miami’s not all sunshine and hotties. It’s endless zip codes and mega high schools where, if someone lost anything-including themselves-they just might not find it again… Not that Susie ever lost herself. No way. Ever since her mom died, she made sure to keep her world safe. With no boyfriend, an increasingly MIA best friend, and a dad who couldn’t pick her out of lineup to save his life, she somehow managed to stay okay. Then she met Danny Diaz. Danny’s is the life that she’s destined to change. At least that’s what Mr. Murphy said when he begged Susie to tutor Danny. She doubts that she could change anyone’s life, but what if Mr. Murphy’s right? Or better yet, what if Danny is destined to change hers?
