RITA HAYWORTH LIVES (kinda) "BEAUTIFUL" and more...

 

If you haven't "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical--RUN!!!

 BEAUTIFUL tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than BEAUTIFUL music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation-dare I say, generations-I never remember her not being current & relevant.

It has all the elements you want in a show. It offers perfect casting (and we didn't even see Tony winner Jessie Mueller but the formidable Rebecca LaChance-who was brilliant). The pacing is perfect--kudos to director Marc Bruni--no time to get even slightly bored.
With just the right amount of corn to make it fun you take a trip back to your radio circa 1971 where the story ends with the making of the iconic album "TAPESTRY". The biggest surprise was how King & Goffins's best friends & musical colleagues Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil also dominated the songs of yesteryear. Who Knew? What you will know is all the hundreds of songs these 4 had a hand in whether it was witing, singing or both. TREAT YOURSELF!

 On SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11th at the RAZZ ROOM in New Hope, PA., cabaret staple & all around performer, QUINN LEMLEY, revives her amazing salute to screen goddess Rita Hayworth,
 in "THE HEAT IS ON". *

Though I've seen this various times, Quinn always puts an interesting twist to each show. She honors the legend's life through words and music. She really personifies Hayworth with relevance in song, dress, story & choreography.

I've always said Quinn's gift as a performer is the ability to educate about Hayworth, burlesque or any project she chooses without being preachy; instead through fun loving song & dance.

TREAT YOURSELF...ONE NIGHT ONLY

Many friends are joining me...the more the merrier...join us:

Finally I want to give a proper farewell to our fashion icon, brilliant comedienne, actress and warrior of the LGBTQ community Joan Rivers. What can I say that hasn't already been said?  The overall sentiment is that she was the gold standard for brilliance when it came to comedy, business and the fuck you attitude that "no one will get me down". I think it is why the under dogs of the world gravitated to her. Regardless of her privileged upbringing she always felt like one herself which lent to insurmountable compassion. Little was known of her generosity (all her staff's children were paid their college education by her). Most of the $$ she made in NYC, trying out her new material, went directly to GOD'S LOVE WE DELIVER; these are just a few examples. Those who knew the woman behind the persona collectively state that she was a class act. I was honored to meet her a few times and she was always kind, relatable and hysterical. For my money she produced the best comedy album to date. Once I asked her why she never did a follow-up to it and she humbly answered, "I don't know, I had such fun making that one". I think I can guess why: because she was trying to make us laugh in a million other ways. Her energy-and her surgeons would say-her face were ageless...That's one's for you, Joan.
I loved you and the gap you left will be honored but NEVER filled. Thank you!

CALENDAR PHENOM--WOW ! (NOTICE THE MATH IN EACH COLUMN)

LOST? NO MORE: BLUETOOTH SNEAKERS

 



I HAVE MET MANY HIGHLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WITH THE WORST SENSE OF DIRECTION, EXCEPT IT'S USUALLY WHILE DRIVING.

BUT WALKING?????

I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING THEIR NEXT HOOKUP, DATE, CLUB, NAIL SALON, GYM OR REFRIGERATOR--LOL

INTRODUCING THE SHOE THAT TELLS YOU WHERE TO GO...


(The shoes and insoles will be available in September for around $100. They’re compatible with iPhones, Android and Windows phones. You can sign up to pre-order them now).

 "Technology never settles, guys. Now shoes are getting even smarter.

An Indian company called Lechal has created sneakers and insoles that pair with an app and Google Maps to help you get from place to place.

The shoe and insole are both connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

You input a destination on the app and then as you walk around, your left or right shoe vibrates to show you which way to turn.

You can either wear the sneakers, which come in red or black, or put the insoles in shoes you already have..."

 The shoes and insoles were originally designed to help blind people navigate, in conjunction with a cane.


As the company began to develop the shoes, it became clear that they could also have other uses.

For every pair of footwear sold, Lechal will subsidize another pair for someone who is visually impaired.

The shoes don’t just tell you where to go. They also serve as a pedometer and a calorie tracker.



REPEAT:            YOUR INSOLES ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR PHONE
                             YES THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT !
                              THEY REMIND ME OF THE JETSONS (in a good way)
                              OR STAR TREK...

DRINK WATER--NO HEART ATTACK

 


(Thank you Alex Cantu & "HEALTH DIGEST")

Pass this on :
If each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!

 I use to get upset about getting up so much during the night to pee. After reading this I'm glad I do. Between drinking lots of H2O at the gym & during the day & night I just guessed it was JUST the amount of my intake; however, there's a more scientific reason :

Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). 
 When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier.

 Answer from a Cardiac Doctor: 

 drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack


I REPEAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :

I knew you needed your minimum water intake to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Drinking water is great but there are crucial times to drink water...

Very important. from A Cardiac Specialist:

ALSO: 
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon.

When in doubt take 2---that's right 2 aspirins then:
Afterwards: - Call 911. 
Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say "heart attack!" 
Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.
Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN!

RELAX...

NO NEW REST STOP on the GSP NORTH IN BLOOMFIELD/POLICE BARRACKS?

 

 IT WOULD MAKE SENSE THAT A MUCH NEEDED REST STOP BE BUILT WHERE THE OLD ONE WAS ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTH--BY EXIT 153--IN BLOOMFIELD, NJ.

THERE IS A THRIVING ONE THAT MIRRORS THIS LOCATION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE GSP. BY EXIT 150.

 A NEW REST AREA WOULD OFFER COMFORT FOR COMMUTERS (esp. those with children) THE LAST REST STOP IS WAY BACK IN UNION. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CLUE WHERE THE NEXT ONE IS-WTF?

  NOT ONLY DOES A REST STOP PROVIDE THE MUCH NEEDED BATHROOM FACILITIES FOR DRIVERS & THEIR FAMILIES, COFFEE AND A SHUT EYE FOR THOSE DRIVING TO STAY ALERT SHOULD ALSO BE AN INCENTIVE.

 THIS IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN REVENUE FOR THE STATE OF NJ OR THE TRANSPORTATION DEPT. RELIEVING POTENTIAL TOLL HIKES (I know I'm an optimist).

This is from northjersey.com (by Jeff Frankel):

" Bloomfield officials said they were not notified about a planned $12.3 million New Jersey State Police barracks along the Garden State Parkway in town. It will be an upgrade to current State Police facilities.

Township Administrator Ted Ehrenburg told the Township Council on Monday that Town Hall received calls from Lindbergh Boulevard residents, whose backyards abut the Parkway.

Residents within 200 feet of the project were given notice. The state-sanctioned construction does not require Bloomfield Planning Board approval. 

Ehrenburg said the state could have notified Bloomfield as a courtesy.

"There was no communication with this township," he said. "We're their good neighbor. We want them to be our good neighbor."

Construction is slated to begin in "early 2013," on the northbound side, according to a notice from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which oversees the Parkway. Work is expected to be completed by May 2014, according to the agency.

Ed Brasseur, a Lindbergh Boulevard homeowner, said he understands the barracks' importance, but is worried about the noise and vibration from the proposed helipad on the property.

The existing station is 60-years-old and needs to be replaced. The new one-story building will be 15,500 square feet, and will include a gas pump island and new drainage system, in addition to the helipad..."
