Isaiah Mustafa (terrific name/”I’m on a horse” guy) has done another funny commercial for Old Spice…check it out.

Well now that Asa my 17 month old son is all over the place I think we have about child proofed everything.  It seems as though I have said that same statement 6 times  before and he seems to find new things to get into.  We’ve locked the cupboards,  plugged up the outlets,  gotten rid of the deadly chemicals etc…..   But I still am having trouble with him eating the cat food.   Every time we turn around he  is eating something and most of the time he has been in the cat dish.   I’m kinda getting  nervous because the kitty litter box is right beside the cat food dish.  One of these days we are gonna walk in and him eating cat poop.   I guess at every new stag of his life I’m gonna have to child proof something new.  My buddy told me when he is a teenager I’ll need to child proof my bank account…..can’t wait.   thanks again for reading ….hawk

Hi Friends!
In July @ Ivy Salon is having a very cool “Beautiful Beach Hair” promotion and 15% of proceeds go to my favorite charity The Beach Ball Foundation!

Summer is officially here, and there’s no better way to feel like a million bucks this season than by letting Ivy refresh and rejuvenate your hair.

Beginning July 1, Ivy Salon is offering a Beautiful Beach Hair special hair care package at both of their locations. The Beautiful Beach Hair starts with a keratin complex treatment to de-frizz hair, resulting in an incredibly silky, straight look. Paired with specially-formulated Aveda shampoo and conditioning treatment, your hair will be so healthy, everyone will notice.

Prices for the Beautiful Beach Hair package begin at $300.00, and can be coupled with a color treatment for the ultimate sun-kissed style.

As an added bonus, 15% of the proceeds from Beautiful Beach Hair package sold will be donated to The Beach Ball Foundation, a well-respected local community effort that supports 30 non-profits dedicated to helping children. Look great AND feel great about supporting a worthy cause.

This video made me laugh and made me want a kid..  Ahh..  Ok, I’m over it now..

We talked about the C-Prime bracelets on the show the other day. Hawk had seen Harry Connick Jr. talking about them at a concert and was curious about how they worked. After doing some research, I found that fitnews.com is reporting that they are being promoted in South Carolina by former University of South Carolina running back Rob DeBoer who was implicated in the Burnlounge pyramid scam that was shut down by the Federal Trade Commission.

Now there is this magic bracelet that somehow improves your balance, ability to stretch, strength and more. We had a distributor in the studio to demonstrate it and I was not convinced. Of four tests, I could only find one that seemed to make any difference at all, and in some cases I was able to perform the test better without the bracelet. So, how does it work? I know many of you have been convinced by the tests that distributors of the C-Prime bracelet (or irenew / power balance) give and seem to really make a difference.

I did some research and I have come to believe it is good old-fashioned placebo effect. This video with a blind test on the Power Balance Bracelet (which used the exact same tests and the C-Prime bracelet now uses) probably shows it better than anything I could say. Basically, they did the tests that the distributors do and they worked exactly as they were supposed to work. But when they put the bracelets / cards in the person’s pocket and neither the tester or the person being tested knew who had the actual product, they failed every time. By doing that, they took away any mental bias on the part of the person testing, and the person being tested.

In short, save your $100.00 for something that actually works…

Hi Friends,
I had the pleasure of judging the G Magazine Last Band Standing contest held Thursday evening. After on-line voting at gvillemag.com, the field of bands was narrowed to 4 who performed at the Handlebar. In front of a large,and supportive crowd, “Lionz of Zion” took the top spot. The funk-reggae group will play the Red,White and Blue Festival July 4th in downtown Greenville. You have to se ‘em. They are wildlly original, not to mention, cute!
It was a well-run and most exciting event that will liley become a signature event for G Magazine!

Some upcoming vents that you may be interested in:

Now I don’t even have to read the story…whoever wrote that headline should get a Pulitzer…or a Tony.  Whatever.

Katy Perry fell down the other night during a performace in Toronto.  She went to the hospital and got 17 stitches (oww).

Lady GaGa fell at a show the other night too.  Take a look at her outfit.  The girl had it coming.  Seriously!?!
