Edward Norton isn’t the biggest guy in Hollywood — far from it.  However, he has a way of working what he’s got to his advantage.  If you remember him in American History X or Fight Club, you know that he can get cut even if he isn’t big. Chiseling muscles became Norton’s calling-card in Hollywood.  He’s starred in The Italian Job, 25th Hour, and The Score, and each movie has given him a chance to show off the results of his workout routine. He’s able to use that calling-card again in Stone, which premieres  October 8th, as he tangles with…

The Chinese have used green tea for its medicinal properties for over 4,000 years and its many health benefits seem endless. Research has shown it does everything from fight cancer, to lower cholesterol, and even stave off dementia. Perhaps one of the more well-known effects of green tea is that it helps naturally speed up the metabolism. Green tea is made from the same plant as black tea, but the two are processed differently. With black tea, the leaves are processed in a way that allows fermentation, resulting in the dark brown color. While with green tea, the leaves are…

A certain mania sweeps over a lot of men at the end of August and lasts until the beginning of February. This mania is known formally as the NFL. Monday Night Football, beer, shouting, pre-game shows, Fantasy Football, Reggie Bush, Brett Favre, Sunday football all-day long — the sport can literally make it appear as though the man in your life has been glued to the couch. If you’re a woman who enjoys watching the sport then this time of year doesn’t affect you as much because you’re right there on the sidelines. But if you fall into the other…

Couch Potato Blitz Welcome back to the “CPB” Quarterbacks The most anticipated game of the weekend has the old dog Donovan McNabb returning to Philadelphia to play his former team led by the new top dog, Michael Vick. The same way Brett Favre stuck it to Green Bay last year in his return, I expect McNabb to do the same in Philly. If you got’em, start’em because he is going to put on a show. I call him the “Sideline Snacker,” but you know him as Mark Sanchez. The Jets are at Buffalo this weekend and he has been going…

Iodine is an essential mineral necessary for the body to function properly. Together with amino acids, the thyroid gland produces thyroxine, an essential component that regulates the metabolism. Weight gain is just one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, also known as underactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism might be something you suffer from without being aware of it, so read on to discover the symptoms as well as some natural ways to help the body heal itself of the condition. Why Is Iodine Necessary in the Body? To stay at a regular weight, it is important to know if your thyroid gland is…

If you’re like me then you want teams to know their place.  For example:  The Royals suck.  The Bucs suck.  The Pirates suck.  The Clippers suck.  The Kings suck.  The Panthers are a cute little story every now and then and Northwestern is too smart to win at football. You get the idea. So, when I heard about Appalachian State wanting to move its football team to the FBS (Division I-A) I got a little concerned.  I’ve been to enough Southern Conference football games in my day to know that this is a bad idea. It isn’t just about big…

Chris Henry was a promising, talented young wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. Chosen in the third round of the NFL draft in 2005 after a star-struck career at the University of West Virginia, Henry had the type of “measurables” that made NFL scouts drool; size, speed, and a gliding gait that made it all look so easy. His career with the Bengals lasted from 2005 through 2009 and, in that time, he caught 119 passes for 18 touchdowns . . . and was suspended twice by the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policies. Chris Henry’s story,…

Every woman has a unique body type. Genetics, exercise, diet, and environment all play key roles in how you look on the outside. Have you ever noticed that some of your friends can eat more than you can and never gain a pound? On the other hand, others workout everyday and never seem to lose a pound? Women are continually trying to change their bodies. However, if you want to lose the weight and keep it off for good, you need figure out what your body type is and work with it, rather than against it. Genetics give everyone a…

Athletes in sports today are all about setting trends whether it is on the playing surface or in day-to-day life.  We have seen the crossover for athletes into music and film, and the numerous amounts of product advertisements in attempts to persuade the general public. It’s too bad that more athletes don’t use their notoriety to increase the positive reinforcement of birth control and responsible alcohol consumption. If you own a television there is a great chance you know that LeBron James decided to “Take his talents to South Beach” and join the Miami Heat this off-season. This sparked a…

When you first meet someone and hit it off, you start spending time together. You go out to eat, go to the movies, and start going to each other’s places. Once the relationship becomes physical, sometimes things can get a little confusing. If you haven’t had “The Talk” yet, you might be wondering where you stand. A woman may not want to ask this question to a man because she’s afraid he might think she’s more serious than he is. A man might not want to ask a woman because he doesn’t want to appear soft or may be afraid…
