Contour Abs

The Contour Abs belt is a muscle stimulating belt designed to impact your entire mid section and is guaranteed to give you the best abs you’ve ever had! We’ve all seen the infomercial right? The people on it try the Contour Ab Belt and are amazed at how it works. The host has abs of steel. Ok I admit it I tried it. Actually I am trying it right now and let me just say that I AM really feeling it. This thing has some serious power in a small package. The package took about 7 days to arrive and when I opened it, this is what I got.

But wait, there’s more!

This is what you get in the kit:

• The Contour Abs Belt
• Gel Pads
• Warranty
• Storage Pouch
• Instructions
• Diet Book

The belt uses 4 AAA batteries to send electronic waves that stimulate your muscles to pulse, tighten and work HARD.  Don’t assume that only lazy asses use the Contour.  Not so.  You can put it on and go for a hike, a long walk, treadmill, chores or you can just veg on the couch and wear it.

It kind of feels like your entire insides are being tightened up, but in a good way.  I have only been using it for a couple days and so far I like how it feels and have been able to increase the levels in just two days.  Even though there are five levels, within each level you can increase the strength of the pulse by percentages from 0-100%.  Currently I am on level one at 50%, so I have a ways to go.

The controller is very easy to operate.  It has an on/off button, a select button and then the left/right up and down buttons.

If you order the Contour Belt, they will try and upsell you the gel pads.  I bought the “buy 2 and get 1 free” set because it was a good deal I know that I will need to replace those eventually.  See the gel pads stick to your skin and not only help to keep it in place, but they are a part of how the unit works.  When they dry up, you need to replace them.  Each belt uses 4 gel pads.  Note that there is 4 in a set though so when I said I got 3, I got 3 sets or 12 pads.

The best part…IT’S GUARANTEED!

Contour Belts stand behind their product and give you a 30 day risk free trial offer for $14.95 (plus shipping and handling of course and I assume that the buyer is responsible for shipping costs if you send it back.  You’ll know within 2 weeks if you like this or not, but be certain about when your 30 day trial starts.  Ask them on the phone what the 30th day is, etc.  Don’t wait til day 29 to send it back or you may be out your money.

Tiger Woods Voice Mail

Golf pro Tiger Woods seems to be in some deep troubles based on recent events. Here is my opinion on the matter.  How do you feel about it?

When I heard the news story that he crashed his car in to a fire hydrant just outside his home at 2:30 in the morning, I had a feeling the story would go down a cheating road. My hunch was that his wife found out, grabbed a golf club went after him while he tried to drive off running from her. Ha! What do you think happened?

Personally, I don’t feel sorry for him. I don’t feel that he needs “privacy” right now. With the millions of dollars he makes in endorsements, he IS held to a higher standard and in my opinion, isn’t entitled to “privacy at this time”. Would be different if it was a personal tragedy in his life, like the loss of a loved one or an illness. Cheating though, doesn’t make me want to give him privacy. I will be watching this unfold and hoping that his wife will take the high road and throw his cheating ass to the curb. The small chance that she may have gone after him with a golf club gives me hope. I am sick of hearing about women who “stand by there man”. So Mrs. Woods, you are a SUPERMODEL! You can have ANY man! Set an example for all the women watching this story unfold.

This voice mail is worth a listen. It’s left to the woman he allegedly had an affair with, basically telling her to please change her voice mail, cuz his wife might be calling. You do have to sit through a 30 second ad, but it’s worth it.

Les Paul Dead at 94 RIP

One of the many joys I have had in my life was to watch Les Paul perform “twice” at the Iridium Club in New York.  Evey Monday night for years he stepped on to the stage and played (with arthritic hands) some of the best rock/jazz tunes I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing.  As you can see from the picture above, he knew how to work the room.  I will be back in New York this October and was planning on seeing him a third time, but am so sad to read the news this morning that he passed of complications from pneumonia.

Les Paul is an icon and the music industry will be forever in debt to him for all of his contributions.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Les Paul Foundation, 236 West 30th Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10001.

Brush Fire Sepulveda Pass

Getting word that there is a brush fire that has caused the evacuation of the Getty Center.

The fire that hit Getty Center Drive has scorched about 20 acres so far.I don’t even want to think of the amount of damage it would cause to the beautiful and priceless art that is stored in the Getty Center.

The Getty Center is perched atop the hillside right above the 405 freeway.  I can remember a long time ago Janet Jackson lived right at the top of that hill.  I hope none of the homes in the area are in danger.

The firefighters are hitting the blaze hard from the sky.  Let’s hope they get it out soon.

Billy Mays Dead

World famous Billy Mays – Mr. As Seen on TV – has DIED. The entertainment industry has suffered enough.  No more please.

According to the news, his wife found him unresponsive this morning.  He was 50 years old.

Apparently he had just been on a flight that had blown out a front tire and hit HARD during landing.  As a result he was hit in the head.  His quote to a local TV station was “All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.”

Could his sudden death have been a result of a head injury?

OMG – so sad.  Enough already.

Prayers to his family.  He was a favorite of mine for sure. I always bought what he was selling.

Billy Mays was just on Conan the other night and clarified, the Shamwow is NOT Zorbeez.  For the record Billy Mays was not the spokesperson for Shamwow.  He was the Zorbeez man (the real towel absorbent cloth).

Billy was the infomercial king and the face of many products.  OxiClean is probably the most famous, then there are the Tool Band-It, Quick Chop, Simoniz Fix It, Mighty Putty and many more.

I will leave you with this:

Hollywood Deaths Come in Three

Farrah Fawcett died after a long and hard battle with cancer.  Seeing her images on the news over the passed week as the young and beautiful Farrah is a big reminder that death will come for you, no matter who you are.

Hearing the story of Ryan O’Neil and their 20 year love affair is very heart warming.  They were never married, but he wanted to marry her before she died.  Looks like he will never get the chance.

Now the news is saying that Michael Jackson has been rushed to the hospital in cardiac arrest.  This is kind of eerie especially since Hollywood deaths travel in 3s.  Is the grim reaper chasing Michael Jackson?  Will it be Walter Cronkite? Who will be the third celeb to enter the pearly gates?

RIP Ed Mc McMahon – RIP Farrah Fawcett – and RIP ??

Not to forget the recent death of David Carradine, but that was around 6/4, so may be too long ago.

Ed McMahon Dead at 86

Ed McMahon Dies at 86

Ed McMahon died what seemed to be a peaceful death in his sleep last night at the UCLA Medical Center with his wife by his side.  Mr. McMahon is most well known for being Johnny Carson’s right hand man and faithful side kick of 30 years on The Tonight Show.  Growing up in the Carson era, I spent many late nights up watching Ed start the show with his coined “Heeeeeeere’s Johnny!”

Apparently Ed McMahon had been suffering from pneumonia and had been battling bone cancer, although his cause of death has not been determined.

Late night in the 60s and 70s was an awesome time to be a TV host.  You got to smoke and drink on the air.  They always looked like they were having a blast. I can also remember watching Ed McMahon on Star Search, Bewitched and seeing him on all those Million Dollar Sweepstakes commercials.  He was the million dollar face.  Funny that he actually started his career as a bingo caller.  He did have a great voice and his smile will be missed in Hollywood.

RIP Mr. McMahon and say hi to Johnny for us.

Obama’s Fly Swatting Skills Pisses Off PETA

President Obama recently showed us his Mr.  Miyagi skills during an interview with CNBC.  While answering a question a pesky fly was buzzing around and the President patiently waited for the fly to land, then WHACK. “Got the sucker.”

So apparently PETA is upset because there was no compassion shown for this innocent fly.  They are sending him a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher so he can catch the fly, then release it outside.

Excuse me while I go kill a fly.  PETA give me a break.  If this isn’t the biggest waist of time I don’t know what is.  What a joke.

I hope President Obama uses his same fly swatting tactics with Osama. WHACK…Got the sucker!

Zicam FDA Warning

Stop using Zicam .  FDA warning is now saying it can cause permanent loss of smell or taste. Products include… Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel –Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs –Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size

It has been talked about on the web for over a year already that people are experiencing a loss of taste or smell after using Zicam.  In one case the person had extreme burning in their nasal passage, to the point where they could barely touch their face.

I have used this product and I did not have this experience.  The product actually worked great as far as preventing a cold and in another case reducing cold symptoms.  I am bummed I can’t use it anymore, but thankful that I or no one in my family had this horrible side effect.

As of right now there is no information on the Zicam webiste about a recall, but the FDA warning is enough for me. I’m pulling it out of the medicine drawer now.

Laker Championship and L.A. Riots

Congrats to the Lakers for winning another NBA Championship.  While the series was a bit uneventfull it is still very cool that they won and are world champs.

I was driving home from Vegas and listening to the game on ESPN radio and while I was so proud of L.A., I was also so dissapointed to hear that people were rioting in the streets by Staples Center. Growing up in L.A. and living through the 91 riots makes me very sensitive to the topic of damaging the city and demolishing city or personal property.

I pray that nobody was or gets injured and that local residents can just get a grip and celebrate safely.

The Laker parade is Wednesday at 11am and will start at Staples Center and go down Figueroa Street ending at the L.A. Colluseum.
