Have you seen The Last American Virgin ?

Probably one of the coolest movies of the 80's, The Last American Virgin was American Pie during its run in the 80's.

This movie is not only funny, but it is also loaded with the coolest track of the 80's. This is the coolest movie soundtrack ever, featuring 23 Big Hits like Oh No! Open Arms,Whip it, Just Once and many more great songs.

It also tells a lesson for guys that to never fall in love with a very beautiful girl, which in the end will crush his heart. Those who grew up in the 80's will surely love looking back at those times in their lives.

Some of it stars may be unknown to you, so I am introducing them to you. The wacky cast include Lawrence Monoson,Diane Franklin,Steve Antin,Joe Rubbo and Louisa Moritz.

Watch the trailer below.

CAN’T QUIT SMOKING?

Cut back instead. A European study found that smokers who reduced their cigarette consumption by 50 percent completely stopped puffing away in one year.


One in three smokers who cut their cigarette consumption by half become a non-smoker within a year. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) also proved helpful in getting smokers to give up the habit completely.

With NRT, your body still gets the nicotine it graves, minus the harmful effects of smoking. Available in patch or gums form (like Nicorette gum). NRT can make nixing the habit easier to bear.

EAT TOGETHER, STAY TOGETHER

When was the last time you, your husband, and your kids ate together as a whole family?

Mealtimes are perfect venues for spending quality times, as family members come together from their separate,daily lives and enjoy one another's company.

"Eating together teaches manners both trivial and momentous, putting you in touch with the deeper springs of human relations," says Miriam Weinstein, author of The Surprising Power of Family Meals.

Eating together not only keeps the family bonded through conversation, it also contributes to the well being of your children. In fact I have read that A Columbia University study, The Importance of Family Dinners, reports that sharing family meals lessens the risk of teenagers developing substance abuse problems, and improves their school performance.

David Cook in NBA Finals

Check this out, Watch David Cook singing America’s national anthem.

Cook did his best to rock out the "Star-Spangled Banner" at the NBA Finals last night, performing during game three in the Lakers-Celtics series. And it’s a good thing that Simon Cowell wasn’t there to critique the performance. Well forget about Simon’s comment about his previous performance,anyway Simon Cowell ate all of his words in American Idol Finals, for me DAVID COOK really rocks the night.

Anyway, to all DC’s fans out there this video is all for you. ENJOY!

Don't Chill That Melon!

Watermelons stored at room temperature have much higher levels of antioxidants (beta-carotene and lycopene) than those kept in the fridge. They even outscored freshly picked melons. If you like, you can cool watermelon for a few hours before eating; once cut, it must be refrigerated.

So what are you waiting for? slice that melon and eat it fresh!

KUNG FU PANDA is a laugh every minute movie

My family saw the movie Kung Fu Panda today, and I must say that if you are looking for a good family film this movie is the one for you.

It was a toss up between the new Narnia and Kung Fu Panda, but my son insisted that we watch Kung Fu Panda.

The movie is a laugh every minute film. There was no boring moment in this film. So funny, that you could hear the entire people inside the movie house laughing, especially the kids. The kids just love the characters here especially Po the Kung Fu Panda.

The visuals was very colorful and alive. It makes you feel as if you are looking at the paintings of the scenery of Ancient China. My entire family enjoyed it and I am pretty sure that you will also enjoy it.

So after reading this, head to the theaters now. Go and see it and have a Grand time with your family.

Laugh those pounds away

Here’s a reason to feel less guilty about sitting on the couch and watching sitcoms: hearty laughter burns up to 40 calories in 15 minutes, according to researchers Vanderbilt University. OK, at that rate, giggling, won’t replace a jogging as a weight-loss tool, but it’s certainly a fun way to burn about four pounds a year.

So with this, I am sharing this video for more laugh and pounds away.

Green tea has long been touted for its high levels of antioxidants and other healthy nutrients; now large study shows that drinking a couple of cups of the beverage daily might actually extend your life. Researchers tracked some 40,000 Japanese men and women for up to 11 years and found that those who drank warm green tea daily had lower death rates than those who didn’t. The lead author is a believer: Shinichi Kuriyama, M.D., Ph.D., of Tohoku University said that he drink two to three cups of green tea per day and would recommend it to his friends and family, The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefit of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells.

There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.
To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:
• cancer
• rheumatoid arthritis
• high cholesterol levels
• cardiovascular disease
