Big Jake

So I picked up a keg of Bass today and the place neglected to tell me that it takes a different type of coupler (tap) then most American brews, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that is open on weekends (tomorrow (Saturday)) that sells keg couplers to be specific a G-system keg coupler.

Thanks in advance,

We just wanted to thank the KIIS FM judges for being so kind and supportive yesterday in our interview. It really meant a lot to us to even have the opportunity to tell our story:) You guys were so unbelievably cool, your smiling faces were really encouraging and made the whole process SO much easier! No matter what happens this has been an awesome experience:)

The flux capacitor really "fluxes" things up if you're not careful.  I was in a walking boot from a nasty ankle sprain (don't ask how it happened), the Cavs organization was enjoying a loooong weekend of cold beverages, warm weather, great food at the Taste of Cleveland and bone shaking fly-by's from the Cleveland Air Show.  Mark Podolak had hair, La Resistance was still resisting, no one knew who Sarah Palin was and CavFanatic.com only had a mere 1,900 members.  And now look at where we are: I'm out of the boot, Podes went all Ed Norton in "American History X" on us, men across America (regardless of Party affiliation) are secretly hoping to see Palin for four more years, La Resistance has surrendered and CavFanatic.com is now over 2,300 Fanatics.  If this trend continues, "The Fanatic" better get an assistant and Admin Witness might have to see a chiropractor to realign his back from all the slaps he'll be getting for taking an idea and turning it into the wildfire that is starting to spread...all well deserved I might add.

But what about the Cavaliers?  Did we have a hangover from the Labor Day weekend?  Did we eat too much at The Taste?  Well, Moondog might have.  Did we go to alternate 2008?  It's a rhetorical question but I'll answer it...NO!  It was back to business as usual for us in "Rome."  And starting Monday, its time to "Get Pumped" CavFanatics.  How's that for a teaser? 

                                                                                                    "Great Scott!"

For nowm I'm off to enjoy the weekend.  We're hopping in the Delorean, hitting 88 mph so we can generate the 1.21 Jigga-watts and head "back to the future" to see Mega 80's at the House of Blues tonight.  The ladies will be wearing their slap bracelets, have their hair crimped and rocking their jelly shoes while guys will have their shoe laces out of those Adidas sneakers and some might even have their pants pegged while wearing a tank top.  For one night, we go back and get a chance to have a night out with the music we grew up on.  There will be pictures...don't worry.  As Ahmaad would say,  "Oh boy!"

Have a great weekend and talk to you on Monday.

So, it is finally back in full swing.  Oh, they have meted it out in little chunks here and there, but now it is really here.  Football in all of its glory. 

Last week was great, watching Kentucky pound Louisville.  And on the H.S. level Harrison pulled out a big win against border rival East Central. 

But now we have it on all levels.  Here is my take on the games that matter. 

High School:  Kings at Harrison - It seems odd to me that Kings could be favored to beat Harrison on the road but that is how Tri State Football has it going down.  The Enquirer and Queencityhigh.com both had Harrison ranked in their Top 10s to start the season.  But a blow out loss to Oak Hills and needing a last minute touchdown to beat East Central can cripple faith in a team.  Kings is coming in as #3 in divisions 2 and 3 while Harrison is just outside of the D1 top 10.  I have a hard time seeing Harrison losing this game at home.  But I am just a homer who couldn't tell you anything about Kings

College:  Norfolk State @ Kentucky - this is one of three straight games where UK is trying to get some easy wins heading into SEC play.  Look for UK to open up its offense this week and take a few more chances.  Hartline did what was expected last week, not lose the game.  But the offense needs to get better and UK will try to open things up.  And the defense will struggle a bit this week.  They should completely overpower Norfolk State, but coming off of the dominance of Louisville, UK fans will be disappointed.

College: UC at Oklahoma - Great for Brian Kelly.  Going into Oklahoma is BIG TIME!  This is the kind of signature win that could cost UC their coach.  UC is better than people realize outside of the Queen City, but Oklahoma is a beast.  I expect UC to do some good things.  UC's Defensive line can be scary with Byrd and Barwin.  But ultimately I see them going down while managing the old college try.

Pro:  Cincinnati at Baltimore - This is a game Cincinnati should win.  Baltimore's defense is missing some pieces and starting Flacco at QB.  If Cincy were to lose, I see bad things for this season. 

Peewee (6 year olds):  Colerain at Harrison - Who knows what is going to happen, they are 6.  All you are guaranteed is that someone will line up completely in the wrong place, someone else will run the wrong the direction, and another kid will completely forget what he is supposed to be doing.  And then they will run the second play.  And, oh yeah, someone will have to pee. 

Hola , como estas? espero bien recuerda q hay  q   vivir  dia  a  dia

On my drive to work this morning, I saw a truck with CNC on it.  Which made me think of CTC on RAW.

And the thought that followed was that I really enjoy Stable factions.  I miss stables in the WWE.  I am really hoping that CTC and the Worthless-Orton pairing might end up adding another 1 or two people to each group (or more) and we might see Stables coming back.

I think my favorite professional wrestling stables have been the MInistry of Darkness, D-Generation X, The Brood, and The Hart Foundation.

What was your favorite stable?  (And why, if you have a specific reason...  :)

Every day, 2.2 million Americans complain of being tired. Most of us chalk it up to having too much to do and not enough time to do it in, especially during extra-busy periods. But often the true culprits are our everyday habits: what we eat, how we sleep, and how we cope emotionally. Read on for some simple, recharging changes that can help you tackle all of the energy stealers in your life.

Energize Your Diet

Why is it that filling up on pasta or Chinese food for lunch leaves us snacky and sleepy an hour later? Or that falling short on fluids makes us forgetful and foggy? Fact is, eating habits play a powerful role in how well we function on every level. Below, six top fatigue-fighting nutrition strategies to chew on.

Have breakfast... even if you don't feel hungry. You'll be a lot perkier: Studies show that people who eat breakfast feel better both mentally and physically than those who skip their morning meal. British researchers at Cardiff University even found that spooning up a bowl of breakfast cereal every morning is associated with lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
 
Eat every three to four hours. Having three smallish meals and two snacks throughout the day can keep your blood sugar and energy levels stable all day long, says Roberta Anding, R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Note the word "smallish." Supersized meals demand more of your energy to digest, which can leave you feeling lethargic. At each mini-meal, get a mix of carbohydrates (which the body uses for energy), protein (which helps sustain energy if needed), and healthy fats like those found in fish, nuts, and olives -- these fats and protein contribute to meal satisfaction, so you don't go hunting for sweets an hour later and wind up with a short-lived sugar high and subsequent crash. A few meal ideas: a low-fat yogurt parfait with berries and a couple of tablespoons of whole-grain granola; salmon over mixed greens with whole-grain crackers; and beef tenderloin with a baked sweet potato and asparagus.
 
Fill up on more fiber. Fiber has a time-releasing effect on carbs, so they enter your bloodstream at a slow and steady pace, giving your energy staying power, says Anding. When choosing your mini-meals (see above), include fiber-filled options that add up to the daily recommended 25 to 30 grams of fiber (the average person gets only between 10 and 15 grams). Some suggestions: a bowl of raisin bran (5 grams of fiber per cup); black beans and cheese wrapped in a multigrain tortilla (beans have 7.5 grams per 1/2 cup; one tortilla has 5 grams); air-popped popcorn (3.6 grams per 3 cups); an apple with the skin (3.3 grams); and whole-wheat spaghetti (6.3 grams per cup).
 
Fuel your brain with omega-3s. Found in fatty fish (such as tuna and salmon), walnuts, and canola oil, these essential fatty acids play a role in keeping brain cells healthy and helping you feel mentally alert. Another potential bonus: Omega-3s encourage the body to store carbs as glycogen — the storage form of glucose (blood sugar) and the body's main source of stored fuel — rather than as fat.
 
Stay hydrated. Water makes up the majority of your blood and other body fluids, and even mild dehydration can cause blood to thicken, forcing the heart to pump harder to carry blood to your cells and organs and resulting in fatigue. Also, ample fluids keep energy-fueling nutrients flowing throughout the body, says Nancy Clark, R.D., author of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook. To gauge your hydration, Clark recommends monitoring how often you urinate. You should be going every two to four hours, and your urine should be clear or pale yellow in color. Tip: Besides drinking more, you can also consume foods that naturally contain water, such as yogurt, broccoli, carrots, and juicy fruits, like watermelons, oranges, and grapefruits.
 
Watch caffeine intake after noon. Typically, consuming a moderate amount of caffeine — 200 to 300 mg, the amount found in two to three cups of coffee — can make you more energetic and alert in the hours following, says Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D., a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. But when caffeine is consumed in large quantities — or anytime in the afternoon or evening — the quality of your sleep that night can take a nosedive, leaving you with heavy eyelids the next day. One caution for those who are highly sensitive to caffeine: Although switching to a decaf latte in the afternoon sounds like the answer, researchers at the University of Florida found that out of 22 decaffeinated coffee beverages tested, all but one contained some caffeine.
Energize Your Spirit
We're all familiar with physical exhaustion, but mental strain — sadness, boredom, worry, anger, and general stress (the biggie) — can take an even heavier toll on vitality, completely wearing you out. Life happens, and these difficult emotions will, too. But if you react wisely, your brain and body will rebound — along with your vim and vigor.
 
Splash some water on your face or take a shower when you're feeling burned-out. Some 55 percent of study participants reported using these types of "water therapy" to successfully increase their energy, according to findings in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Apparently, a little H 2 O refresher can instantly help take the edge off when you're feeling overwhelmed.
 
Suit up in a "power" outfit to beat the blahs. Fight the tendency to throw on sweats when you're feeling sluggish. Although it may seem counterintuitive to slip into the skirt you save for special occasions, it helps to look in the mirror and see an energizing image — not a deflating one that confirms and reinforces your internal state, says Alice D. Domar, Ph.D., founder and executive director of the Domar Center for Complementary Healthcare in Waltham, MA. Dressing for success will give you a big mental boost every time you catch sight of your reflection (or receive a compliment) throughout the day.
 
Vent your feelings. Keeping fear, anxiety, and stress pent up inside may seem like a grown-up way to deal with these emotions. But discussing negative feelings with another person can ease them far better than keeping them bottled up; by airing them, you reduce their ability to sap your stamina, says Komaroff, who is also the editor-in-chief of the Harvard Health Letter.
 
Turn on some tunes. Listening to music is one of the most effective ways to change a bad mood, decrease tension, and increase energy. Consider this: Runners in one study who listened to music while on the treadmill ran faster than those who jogged in silence — no matter how loud the volume or how fast the tempo, according to new findings in the journal Ergonomics. Other research suggests that music effectively distracts you from feeling fatigue. Try burning a CD of your favorite songs and playing it anytime you need a pick-me-up. (If you exercise, so much the better — but the music will move you either way.)
 
Let go of grudges. Nursing a grudge prompts your mind and body to react as if they're under chronic stress, increasing your heart rate and blood pressure and potentially resulting in an impaired immune system and exhaustion over time, according to a study in the journal Psychological Science. On the other hand, practicing empathy and forgiveness after you've been wronged makes you feel as if you're back in control, which keeps the body's stress responses in check. The next time you find yourself harboring ill feelings, repeat a stress-relieving mantra to yourself, such as, "Forgiveness makes me a happier and stronger person."
 
Take belly breaths. When we're under stress, we're prone to take "chest breaths" — short, shallow ones, says Domar. Chest breathing brings less air into the lungs and reduces the supply of energizing oxygen to the body and brain, leaving you physically and mentally drained. The goal is deep, diaphragmatic breathing — like that of a sleeping infant: When you breathe in, your belly should round and fill like a balloon; on an exhale, your belly should slowly deflate. Of course, remembering to practice deep breathing isn't the first thing on your mind when you're under the gun, so as a visual reminder, try posting a tranquil picture (such as a pool of water or your kids smiling) with the word "breathe" next to your computer, or anywhere you tend to feel on edge.
 
De-clutter a corner. Go through that teetering pile of papers or overflowing closet and clear it out. Clutter can make you feel out of control and overwhelmed, especially when you're already feeling stressed or down. Plus, simply accomplishing a goal, no matter how seemingly minor, can be energizing, says Domar.
 
Do some good. Acts of altruism can lend a little pep to your step. In fact, one study in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior found that volunteer work can boost your energy in six ways: It enhances happiness, life satisfaction, self-esteem, sense of control over life, physical health, and mood.

Get a Restorative Rest
When you have a lot to do (um...always) , usually the first thing to get squeezed off your agenda is sleep. But miss out on shut-eye and your energy, positivity, productivity, and memory are sure to suffer. And nearly a quarter of American adults aren't getting enough rest, which has led to an epidemic of daytime sleepiness, according to a poll by the National Sleep Foundation. The key to bucking this trend is to brush up on sleep hygiene. Try these steps for starters.

Cut back on TV and computer time after 8 p.m. If you're already a night owl (you go to bed late and sleep in on weekends), the bright light emitted from television and computer screens can make falling asleep at a decent hour even harder. The reason: Light suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone secreted at sunset that tells the brain that it's nighttime, explains John Herman, Ph.D., director of the training program in sleep medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School at Dallas. And when melatonin levels are low, your brain is fooled into thinking that it's still daytime — and remains raring to go. Whenever possible, wait until the next morning to tune in and/or log on. If you must use light-emitting technology at night, try to turn it off an hour or two before hitting the sack.
 
Hide your alarm clock. Watching the clock to see how long it's taking you to drift off or how much time you have left before your alarm goes off can result in a poor night's sleep, says Kelly A. Carden, M.D., medical director of the Sleep Health Center Affiliated with Hallmark Health at Medford in Medford, MA. This hypervigilance keeps the brain awake and alert and prevents you from slipping into deep, restorative sleep. The easy fix: Set your alarm clock, then either face the numbers away from you or put it on the floor, in a drawer, or across the room.
 
Give your pet his own separate sleeping space. At night, pets snore, jiggle their tags, move around a lot, and even hog the covers and bed space. It's no wonder that 53 percent of pet owners who sleep with their pets in the bedroom have some type of disrupted sleep every night, according to a study from the Mayo Clinic Sleep Disorders Center in Rochester, MN. Consider relocating your furry friend's sleeping quarters to another area, even if it's just his own bed in your bedroom.
 
Lower the thermostat. For a good night's sleep, make sure your room is comfortably cool — enough so that you need a light blanket. This ensures that your environment is in sync with your body's internal temperature, which naturally drops during the night, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Studies suggest the ideal sleeping temperature is between 54 and 75 degrees; anything cooler or warmer may cause you to wake up.
 
Skip the nightcap. Alcohol depresses the nervous system — the system of cells, tissues, nerves, and organs that controls the body's responses to internal and external stimuli. So while sipping a glass of wine before bed may help you nod off, the sedative effects wear off as your body metabolizes the alcohol, which may cause you to wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back to sleep. Alcohol has also been shown to interfere with the body's natural 24-hour biorhythms, causing blood pressure to rise and heart rate to race at night when it's normally calm and relaxed. You don't have to give up that evening cocktail entirely to achieve sound sleep — just try to avoid alcohol within two to three hours of bedtime.
 
Get your exercise. While scientists don't yet understand why, aerobic exercise has been proved to help you fall asleep faster at bedtime, spend more hours in deep sleep, and wake up less often throughout the night, says Komaroff. At the same time, vigorous exercise can act like a stimulant (which is a great daytime energizer), so schedule your workouts in the morning or afternoon, when you need a boost the most
 
Follow the 15-minute rule. If you can't fall asleep, or if you wake up and can't get back to sleep within about 15 minutes, get out of bed and do something relaxing that will help clear your head, such as reading, meditating, or knitting (but not watching TV or surfing the Web). Then, once you feel sleepy again, go back to bed. If you stay put and fret about being awake, you'll only make yourself more anxious — and less likely to catch the z's you need.
 
Write down your worries. During the day, jot down any stressors that are weighing on you, says Carden. Then, do some mental problem-solving before your head hits the pillow — or, if you're falling short on solutions, tuck your list away and resolve to brainstorm ideas during your morning shower or commute to work. Just knowing you've established a plan for tackling your to-do's will make you feel like you've made some progress, allowing you to relax, drift off — and wake up the next morning ready to take on the day.

So far, so good.

I had a workout this morning and feel even stronger now.  Yay! 

I woke up this morning with a nasty pinched nerve in my neck.  I can't turn my head to the right so I have my friend Jess the massage therapist coming over tonight for an emergency rub.  It's pretty hard to drive but luckily I look left for most things at work.

I neglected to mention one important thing about the Post State Fair Detox Diet to lose the 8 pounds from deep fried everything....gotta count those calories.  1400 calories per day of unprocessed, low fat, naturally tasty food. 

Don't know if I will be able to get my 30 minutes of cardio in today with this pinched nerve business but I will make up for it on Saturday.

All next week I will be out on vacation.  It might be tough, but I still plan to stick to the Post Fair Detox. 

How are YOU doing?

El Papel arrugado

Mi carácter impulsivo, me hacía reventar en cólera a la menor provocación.

La mayor parte de las veces, después de uno de estos incidentes, me sentía avergonzado y me esforzaba por consolar a quien había dañado.

Un día mi consejero, quien me vio dando excusas después de una explosión de ira, me entregó un papel liso:

 ¡Estrújalo!

 Asombrado, obedecí e hice una bola  con él papel.

 Luego me dijo: Ahora déjalo como estaba antes. Por supuesto que no pude dejarlo como estaba.

Por más que traté, el papel quedó lleno de arrugas.

Entonces mi consejero hablo: "El corazón de las personas es como ese papel. La impresión que dejas en ese corazón que lastimaste, será tan difícil de borrar como esas arrugas en el papel. "Aunque intentemos enmendar el error, estará  "marcado".

 Por impulso no nos controlamos y sin pensar arrojamos palabras llenas de odio y rencor, y luego, cuando pensamos en ello, nos arrepentimos. Pero no podemos dar marcha atrás, no podemos borrar lo que quedó grabado.  Y lo mas triste es que dejamos "arrugas" en muchos corazones. 

 Desde hoy, sé más compresivo y más paciente.

Cuando sientas ganas de estallar recuerda...

El papel arrugado...

Lynne Spears tell-all book Through the Storm is s remarkably jam-packed with action for an evangelical book about parenting. Lynne reveals Britney started knocking back booze at 13 and, with her mom's help, tricked Justin Timberlake into thinking she was a virgin when really Britney nailed a football player at 14. The best part is: Justin fell for it! Oh, man, these Disney kids are dumb. The pop icon took a liking to booze when she was a 13-year-old Mouseketeer and began experimenting with drugs at 15. Here are some of the details.

Drugs!
By age 16, Britney's wild-child behavior stunned her family when she was caught with cocaine and marijuana on a private jet, Lynn Spears claims.

SEX!
She admits she allowed her then 16-year-old daughter to sleep with Timberlake, her Mickey Mouse Club co-star, and went along with the hoax that Britney was a virgin. Lynne Spears reveals Timberlake was misled and that Britney lost her virginity to a Kentwood, La., high school football player

It's a good thing Lynne isn't trying to make a profit from her daughters mis-fortune. I would have had to call her a bad parent. It's not like letting her drink and have underage sex is bad parenting either. I mean, if I was a parent I would do the same thing. RIGGGGGGGGGGHT!

"I'm over being a pop star. I don't wanna be a hot girl," she says.

Beyonce Knowles is set to shock fans by revealing she's "over" life as a pop superstar in a new interview.

The Survivor singer tells the upcoming issue of Britain's Marie Claire magazine she's sick of being little more than the "hot girl" and she wants to aim higher than bubblegum pop hits and blockbuster film roles in movies like Austin Powers in Goldmember and Dreamgirls.

She says, "I'm over being a pop star. I don't wanna be a hot girl. I feel like I've accomplished a lot (and) I feel like I'm highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records.

"I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough."

And the usually humble singer, who tells the publication she's determined to become "a legend, an icon," feels sure her next movie role - as jazz great Etta James in Cadillac Records - will be the part that will help her really show off her talents.

She explains, "I've been saying for a long time that I wanted to do something dark. People are going to be very shocked. It's the complete opposite of me. It was very emotionally draining. I was exhausted."
