When I first heard that the Nintendo Wii could be used in physical rehab from a friend that is a director at a rehabilitation center here in Los Angeles, I laughed thinking she was telling me a joke.  As she began to explain how she uses it in her program, it began to make sense.  You can check out my friend’s blog with info on this and other health related topics: www.nursestacey.com The Nintendo Wii program has been implemented into rehabilitation programs as an effective, f...

  I recently moved into a “resort”-type apartment building that seeks to solve all the needs of their tenants not only by providing amazing amenties, but also integrates commercial space on the bottom floor that can further cater to tenant lifestyle. One of the commercials spaces, Pizza Fusion, happens to be directly under my apartment.  So convenient that even if I am craving something as symbol as their organic coffee or sugar-cane sweetened soft drinks, I can simply...

A lot of people are very opinionated about the subject of Michael Vick due to the fact that dogs (For the record:  I’m  a huge dog fan and have own and loved many) are involved in the situation.  For the first part of my rant, I’m going to strip away moral debate on this topic.  I mean, it’s very clear that what he did is wrong.  He should and did get punished for his actions.  The moral debate lies more on whether he should be let back into the...

Stevia. Most people probably haven’t heard of it. Stevia is a genus of about 240 species of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America. The species Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia’s taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of i... Read Full Story

Clubs and houses in the hills are standards when you try to describe the nightlife in Hollywood.  It’s gotten so saturated with clubs that there’s few “good” nights out there.  SBE has turned away from the mainstream practices that have been slowly losing its luster over the past couple years and turned to House music as a resurgence…and boy has it worked.   First began Sundays at Foxtail which pulled larger crowds then some of the weekend nights t...

I have had the privilege of being sent this book to review, which you can find at http://www.dirtydialogue.com/ebook.  The title grabbed my attention immediately of course.  But as I began to read the content inside, I began to realize the genius behind the idea.  The introduction kept my eyes glued to the pages.  Why?  Because it states exactly what is wrong with people and their perception of sexuality today: Everything you’ve ever learned about your sexuali...

My generation has seen some extreme advancements in evolution. My high school career marked the birth of the internet on a major scale.  Although it existed, the use of the internet was still in the exploration stage with AOL being the predominant online entity. Regardless, I was still resorting to visits to the library to read up on current news, research for essays, and learning how to do things. Just over 10 years later, times have really changed.  I asked my brother about this (... Read Full Story

I hear all the time people talking about how they have the next million dollar business idea. Most of the time it’s in a casual environment over drinks, dinner, or random social gathering. Obviously this person doesn’t have their business plan sitting there in front of them. Most likely they aren’t going to crunch numbers and give detailed projections on the first and second years in the business. What people may not realize, is this casual conversation may be the best test ... Read Full Story

Branded entertainment has quickly become one of the most successful advertising units money can buy.  When executed correctly, it can not only increase sales, but it can brand/rebrand a company or product and take it to new heights. The biggest example of branded entertainment producing monstrous results is in the film industry.  The comic book movies started it all.  In 1966, “Batman: The Movie” was released.  But since that was based more on the hit TV series...
