Arizona State Legislator Wants Airbrushing Law for Ads
A Democratic state lawmaker in Arizona is pushing for legislation that would make it clear when ads have been airbrushed. It would require that advertisers who airbrush or in any way enhance an image to include a disclaimer that reads, "Postproduction techniques were made to alter the appearance in this advertisement. When using this product, similar results may not be achieved." State Rep. Katie Hobbs admits the bill may not go anywhere, but she told the local Fox TV station in Phoenix that she wants to, quote, "start a conversation." Hobbs says she wants advertisers to be realistic about the images they portray, explaining, "I've worked on women's issues a lot and this bill is primarily intended to highlight issues that women have with body image and how advertising plays into that."

You know, we never know when our time "is up" on this earth. Make it count! I know we get frustrated and fly off the handle and say and do things we later regret.... but don't let them stop you from trying to NOT do them/that. Perhaps it comes with age....
I was talking with Lee Alexander earlier...I posted some reaction on our Magic 98.9 Facebook Fan Page from stars about Whitney Houston's death, just hours after it was released that she had died. Peter Fonda just might be the biggest jerk in the world. When asked about his thoughts, he started spouting off so callously the effect of drugs and alcohol and hard living. Yes, we all know this Peter, but Whitney's lifeless body still lay in her room 4 floors up while you were saying this and just mere hours after the death announcement. Not to mention the woman who was standing next to you during the "interview" did not look exactly put together Peter... WHAT A JERK!
Compassion. Where has compassion gone? There is always something going on in someone's life, so it is your (my) responsibility to help make their day easier. I would certainly want that in return. |

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention came out with a report highlighting the foods we eat that put too much salt in our diet. Well..... perhaps it's not the foods themselves, but how much of that food we eat that increases our salt levels.
Here's the list from the CDC.
1. Bread and Rolls
2. Cold Cuts and cured meats
3. Pizza
4. Fresh and processed poultry
5. soups
6. Fast-food hambrugers and sandwiches
7. Cheese
8. Spaghetti and other pasta dishes
9. Meatloaf and other meat dishes
10. Chips, pretzels and popcorn
You can always help yourself by purchasing the "Lower Sodium" option. I even use "Low Sodium" salt by Morton's in our house. I really do! |

I was passing by one of my co-workers office today... and with just a look, I knew something was wrong. So I asked. A flood of tears. Then I started too.
My poor friend got word that her family dog growing up had to be put down. She saw him at Christmas, but wishes she could have been there for one last goodbye. My heart goes out to her and anyone else who has been or is in this situation. It's so very tough to let go of our 4-legged friends. Dogs and cats (especially dogs) can be such great teachers at times.
In times like these, the greatest comfort I have been able to give is 1. a hug and 2. the "Heaven Is For Real" book. I believe with all my heart that all animals go to Heaven and this book reaffirms that belief. This book is a great witnessing tool and a comfort to the broken heart flipping the pages.
I carry copies of this book in my car. I encourage you to pick yourself up a copy.... OR... if a complete stranger gives you a copy in your time of sadness.... it just might be me! |

Hollywood....

So today I couldn't broadcast my Hollywood Minute Update... silly monthly EAS test that cut me off.
Here is a quick run down:
Gavin Rossdale (hot) who is married to Gewn Stefani (beautiful) might not be so great in the "Truths" department. Reportedly the two have been going to marriage counseling because Gavin has been untruthful about his past and it's sending Gwen into a tizzie. I don't blame her... especially when he's linked to Courtney Love.... I do hope they can work it out and Gavin will man up. They have two young children, Kingston and Zuma.
Mariah Carey may be taking over Nicole Scherzinger's spot as judge on the X Factor (I hope so, Nicole gets on my nerves) Nicole gets too emotional when contestants have to be eliminated.
Despite separation... Heidi Klum is still wearing her wedding ring as well. We talked yesterday about how Seal is still wearing his too. I do have high hopes for this couple. I want to see it all work out!
And Drew Carey and his fiance Nicole Jaracz have called off their engagment. I don't know who did the calling off but if it was Nicole, I don't blame her. After 5 years.... I think you'd walk down the aisle by then.| | (0) Comments | Tags : Topics: Entertainment_Culture, Human InterestSocial: Entertainment_Culture, Human InterestPeople: Courtney Love, Drew Carey, Gavin Rossdale, Heidi Klum, Kingston, Mariah Carey, Nicole Jaracz, Nicole Scherzinger, Zuma

Think Happy!

Very interesting. I just read a couple higlights from an article about thinking happy and you'll be happy. Isn't that nuts... the part of our body we can't see or physically manipulate has the greatest impact on how and who we are. God is pretty awesome!
Think happy thoughts to turn your mood around. Happy thoughts also has a good physical effect on ourselves. Turning negative thoughts into positive thoughts... or speaking in a positive manner... all influences the way we act and think.
Let's practice this together... although, still allow me to make fun of Hollywood every now and then...please... :) |
