This is pretty cool
So I am totally looking forward to the Green Lantern movie coming out next year and found this pretty cool trailer that a fan made and put up on youtube. It'sw pretty slick, check it out.
Too funny
You know when I first saw this video on YOUTUBE I couldn't stop laughing, but after my 100th time I thought to myself "man this guy is so lucky to be able to feel that way about something as simple as a rainbow"
In our TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL attitude's of now a days it's too bad that we all can't just slow down and enjoy the simple things.
I hope one day I see something that grabs me like this.
Keep it tasty
Slim secrets from Europe
Obesity may be on the rise worldwide but the biggest paradox in many countries throughout Europe is the relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease despite diets rich in saturated fats. Many studies suggest the equalizer is red wine, but there are other noticeable eating trends which are likely contributing factors. As I sipped my way through Spain on red wine and sangria I managed to uncover this and other slim secrets of our neighbors across the Atlantic.
When soccer fans in the United States came together to watch the World Cup, chances are they were accompanied by plates of cheese topped nachos, fried wings dipped in hot sauce and burgers smothered with accoutrements.
No such thing in Spain! Interestingly enough, in a country where futbol is viewed with equal if not greater fanfare than American football, nary a potato chip seems ever to make its way onto the spectator scene (there it is just wine, beer and cigarettes --- a whole other article). This glaring incongruity in dietary habits is just one of the reasons why Americans have taken first place in the fat race. Here are a few others differences which you may want to incorporate into your diet:
1. Small Bites are Big: Good things are eaten in tiny packages throughout Spain. Indulgent tapas (or pintxos) which are popular in Basque Country, such as deep fried potato croquettes or grilled chorizo and foie gras canapés are served in an array of bite-sized individual servings. Sampling on portion-friendly foods keeps calories at bay and keeps locals from feeling hungry or deprived.
2. Splitting Meals is De Rigeur: Sharing large plates is not only socially acceptable it seems to be a common trend among restaurant goers in Spain, where traditionally heavy dishes like paellas, beef or lamb stews and fried fish dishes are often prepared for two. Divvying up dishes in this way is a wise and wallet-friendly solution especially since many entrees in the U.S. are up to four times the recommended serving size.
3. Large Lunch, Late (and light) Supper: Any expert who claims that eating past 6 p.m. is bad for the waistline clearly has never crossed the Atlantic! In cities like Barcelona dinner is served late-night but lunch, which typically consists of multiple courses, is the heaviest meal. Shifting food proportions allows our bodies to burn-off calories in the waking parts of the day, which is more effective than when we are dormant.
4. Simply Don’t Snack on Junk: Spain is the largest exporter of olives, and these power-packed fruits are the nosh of choice in tavernas across the country. Processed goodies like potato chips come in smaller, three ounce bags, but you rarely see people eating them. Instead, you will find them eating hard to pop open nuts like sunflowers and pumpkin seeds which are a long-lasting secret snack weapon.
5. Heavy on the Spices and Seasonings: Garlic, chilies and paprika are essential to Spanish cuisine. These and other spices and seasonings, be it a pinch of saffron or a dash of cumin, bring out subtle yet intense flavors in most dishes while keeping foods simple, tasty and a lot more nutritious.

WATCH YOUR PHONE USE OVERSEAS
The “I heart Normandie” T-shirt isn’t the only souvenir from an Airdrie, Alta., man’s European trip.
Jason Boutang says he was shocked when he opened the bill for his iPhone and saw he had racked up charges of nearly $8,000.
“It’s criminal,” said Boutang of his June statement saying he owed Virgin Mobile $7,763.70 after using the phone for three days while travelling in France.
The Airdrie car salesman was visiting a number of First and Second World War battle sites including Normandy and Vimy Ridge June 1-7 and used his iPhone for guidance and entertainment.
Boutang said he used a translator application, which he thought was free, to help him communicate with the French and streamed a Calgary rock radio station for five hours over three days.
But because the two functions required Internet signals, Boutang’s charges began to escalate very quickly.
So quickly Virgin Mobile shut his phone off after three days, likely due to the amount of charges being racked up, which also included what Boutang says was about $150-worth of text messages and phone calls.
“They pulled the plug on me after the third day,” he said, adding he figured it was related to roaming charges of some sort, though he never would have imagined he’d open such a humongous bill weeks later.
“I opened my e-bill and fell over,” he said.
“I had to get three other people to look at the screen to make sure I read it right.
“I kind of figured it was from the trip ‘cause my average bill is about $200 a month.”
Boutang said he called Virgin Mobile right away to inquire about the charges but was told there was nothing the company could do.
“They said, ‘pay up, every penny ... you went outside your neighbourhood, you pay the price,’” he said.
What irks him most is he called the company a couple weeks before he left to inform them he would be taking his iPhone with him to Europe.
Boutang said the customer service representative failed to warn him about the pricey cost of using an iPhone abroad, and says he wasn’t told about a roaming data plan he’s since discovered that might have allowed him to use his phone overseas for as little as $200.
Boutang said he filed a complaint with the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on Friday and will await the response before he pays anything.
In the meantime, he picked up a basic cellphone and is paying on a month-to-month basis with Rogers.
“I can’t even get on the Internet and I don’t want to,” said Boutang, though he admits to missing the iPhone dearly.
“Right now it’s a nice ornament.
“It hurts, but I don’t even want to pick it up; I don’t even want to look at it.”
While Virgin Mobile said it is looking into the case to see if there’s anything that can be done to cushion the billing blow, spokeswoman Erica Faltous said when people go abroad, they need to be aware of the potential for soaring costs.
“We do our best to have warnings in place but we are looking into it to see if there’s some way we can help out.”
Faltous said Boutang used about 130 megabytes over the three days, which is the equivalent of sending 5,000 emails, loading 600 web pages or viewing 100 minutes worth of video.
THE HISTORY BEHIND CANADA DAY
On June 20, 1868, Governor General the Viscount Monck issued a royal proclamation asking for Canadians to "celebrate the anniversary of the confederation."[7] However, the holiday was not established statutorily until 1879, when it was designated as Dominion Day, in reference to the designation of the country as a Dominion in the British North America Act. The holiday was initially not dominant in the national calendar; up to the early 20th century, Canadians thought themselves to be primarily British, being thus less interested in celebrating distinctly Canadian forms of patriotism. No official celebrations were therefore held until 1917 — the golden anniversary of Confederation — and then none again for a further decade.[8]
In 1946, Philéas Côté, a Quebec member of the House of Commons, introduced a private member's bill to rename Dominion Day as Canada Day.[9] His bill was passed quickly by the House of Commons but was stalled by the Senate, which returned the bill to the Commons with the recommendation that the holiday be renamed The National Holiday of Canada, an amendment that effectively killed the bill.[10]
Beginning in 1958, the Canadian government began to orchestrate Dominion Day celebrations, usually consisting of Trooping the Colourceremonies on Parliament Hill in the afternoon and evening, followed by a mass band concert and fireworks display. Canada's centennial in 1967 is often seen as an important milestone in the history of Canadian patriotism, and in Canada's maturing as a distinct, independent country, after which Dominion Day became more popular with average Canadians. Into the late 1960s, nationally televised, multi-cultural concerts held in Ottawa were added, and the fête became known as Festival Canada; after 1980 the Canadian government began to promote the celebrating of Dominion Day beyond the national capital, giving grants and aid to cities across the country to help fund local activities.
With only twelve Members of Parliament present, eight less than a quorum,[11] the private member's bill that proposed to change the name to Canada Day was passed in the House of Commons in five minutes, and without debate.[12] With the granting of Royal Assent, the name was officially changed to Canada Day on October 27, 1982, a move largely inspired by the adoption of the Canada Act, earlier in the year. Although the proposal caused some controversy,[12] many Canadians had already been informally referring to the holiday as Canada Day for a number of years before the official name change occurred.[n 1] Andrew Cohen, a former Globe and Mail and current Ottawa Citizen columnist, calledCanada Day a term of "crushing banality" and criticized the change from Dominion Day "a renunciation of the past, [and] a misreading of history, laden with political correctness and historical ignorance."[17] For Cohen, the change is an example of systemic denial of Canadian history by the Canadian government.[18]
As the anniversary of Confederation, Dominion Day, and later Canada Day, was the date set for a number of important events, such as the first (temporary) national radio network hookup by the Canadian National Railway (1927), the inauguration of the CBC's cross-country television broadcast (1958), the flooding of the Saint Lawrence Seaway (1958), the first colour television transmission in Canada (1966), the inauguration of the Order of Canada (1967), and the establishment of "O Canada" as the country's national anthem (1980). Other events fell on the same day coincidentally, such as the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916 — shortly after which the province of Newfoundland and Labrador recognized July 1 as Memorial Day to commemorate the Newfoundland Regiment's heavy losses during the battle[19][20] — and the enactment of the Chinese Immigration Act in 1923 — leading Chinese-Canadians to refer to July 1 as Humiliation Day and boycott Dominion Day celebrations, until the act was repealed in 1947.[21]

GAGA FALL DOWN AND GO BOOM

REMIX FLAVOR
Miley Cyrus is all grown up. First she’s kissing girls onstage and now the Disney diva breaks out of her cage by recruiting hip-hop’s wild man Lil Jon for the RockAngeles remix to her single “Can’t Be Tamed.” “Ya’ll ain’t never see this one coming!” yells the King of Crunk over the club beat. That’s for sure.
NOT BAD I MUST SAY. KEEP IT TASTY MILEY
Shady is a smart dude.
Eminem has recruited one of America's top TV pitchmen to help spread the word about his new album Recovery.
Vince Shlomi, who fronts high-energy ads for ShamWow! cloths and Slap Chop kitchenware, has signed on to give the rapper's new release a TV shopper-friendly spin as part of a comical new EmWow ad.
In the ad, Shlomi says, "The Eminem CD has dozens of uses. It cuts razor-thin slices! Use it as a coaster! Put it on your hose!"
Now that's super bad ass... remember starting this friday it's a CD winning weekend for Eminem's RECOVERY
KEEP IT TASTY PEEPS.
So Gross
So I am not sure how many of you watched the UFC this past weekend. But in the main event it was UFC 115 RICH FRANKLIN v CHUCK LIDDEL. Good fight I'd say Chuck got knocked right out near the end of the first round but he was gaming for most of the fight, he just got caught coming in.
Now even though Chuck got his lights put out and may be his last fight in the UFC, Franklin was not with out injury. A broken forearm to be exact.
So last night I watched the fight for the first time and Franklin said in the post match interview that Chuck caught him with a kick that he knew right away broke his arm. Not sure when it happened I decided to go back and look at the fight again and focus on kicks from Chuck and the left arm of Franklin... that's when I say it! If you have the fight downloaded go to about 4:00 to 3:58 and you will see chuck throw a high kick as in the first picture below...
Lucky for Rich he gets his are up or it would have been lights out as that kick was going directly for his head. But there was a price to be paid with blocking the shot cause this is the point where Chuck breaks the forearm.
Now it's too bad I couldn't get you a better shot of the forearm bending but again if you have the fights at home watch at this exact point and you will see it bend and then right after you will see Rich shake it off. The craziest part of it all is the fact that he kept fighting and still threw left at Chuck finally catching him with a right to the chin.
OMG now that's a tuff dude.
MY DUDE NE-YO
Ne-yo is super bad always like to read what he is up to.
Good luck to a good guy.
Dustin Byfuglien makes history
So after that wicked win last night by the Chicago Blackhawks for the Stanley cup I wrote on my facebook page (Kwame on Kraze) a pretty tricky question which was:
So here is a question for all you Hockey fans out there that I bet you can't answer not even Don Cherry. The BlackHawks are now apart of history, what is it? Here's a hint: Only one team is apart of it and the Oilers and Calgary could have been but they missed there chance.
I had over 100 hits with people guessing and wondering I had everyone pretty much stumped so I kept giving hints like: If Montreal beat Philly this history would have happened but since they didn't the only way this moment could happen is if the Blackhawks won which they did. Making the Blackhawks history makers having only the 3rd black player to have his name on the Stanley cup. The first being Pokey Riddick who played as a back up goalie for the Oilers back in 89/90.
The second being the great Grant Fuhr.
He played for the Oilers and won the cup during the Oilers best years 84, 85,86, 88, and 89.
Big Byfuglien has also made history being the first American Born Black player to win the cup.
I personally think this is a great piece of hockey history, so now you have another little interesting fact you can use at parties lol
Oh yeah congrates to Audrey Kohinsky for getting the answer right after a bit of coaching lol
THE KID HAD A GREAT PLAYOFFS.... SOOOOO MONEY! NOW I HAVE TO BUY A BYFUGLIEN JERSEY.
OMG A NEW IPHONE!

Take beautiful, detailed photos with the new 5-megapixel camera with built-in LED flash. The advanced backside illumination sensor captures great pictures even in low light. And the new front-facing camera makes it easy to take self-portraits.
People have been dreaming about video calling for decades. iPhone 4 makes it a reality. With just a tap, you can wave hello to your kids, share a smile from across the globe, or watch your best friend laugh at your stories — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi.

MONEY MOMENTS AT THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS
So last night was the MTV movie awards, it was ok. To tell you the truth I wasn't really a fan but there where two moments that I really liked. First the acceptance speech from Ken Jeong who won BEST WTF MOMENT. He has a great story of making it too hollywood and I hope to see him in more comedies. He was funny when he got his award but what stood out the most was when he thanked his wife and teared up a bit talking about how strong she is fighting cancer and being cancer free for the past two years. That was awesome.
My other super bad ass moment was when Tom Cruise took the stage as his character LES GROSSMAN from TROPIC THUNDER. He and Jennifer Lopez tore it up.
I actually got the chance to meet him back in the days when I worked at Canada's Wonderland. I had the best time that day.
THAT'S ME TO HIS LEFT. HE'S HOLDING HIS DAUGHTER ISABELLA
We hung out along with three of my co workers and it was probably one of my coolest celebrity meetings ever. I even got the chance to ride side by side with Tom on the TOP GUN ride... I told him for the moment I was MAVERICK and he was GOOSE. Any ways I think he's totally money and it will take a lot for me to hate on him.
We got to get back to the show, keep it tasty peeps. I'll blog ya up tomorrow.

You're too hot... YOU'RE FIRED!
Now this is funny, I've heard of people using there looks to there advantage at work but I never thought someone would be fired for it. read on.
A former banker at a Manhattan branch of Citibank is suing parent company Citigroup, alleging she was fired for being too hot, reports the Village Voice. Debrahlee Lorenzana, 33, alleges she was getting into trouble over her outfits, and that her superiors, unable to concentrate, ordered her to stop wearing turtlenecks, pencil skirts, three-inch heels or fitted business suits. She said other co-workers wore far more revealing clothing. "They said their body shapes were different from mine, and I drew too much attention," she told the Village Voice. According to the lawsuit, "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear." Her lawyer, Jack Tuckner, agreed that Lorenzana is a sexy woman, but said that shouldn't matter in the workplace.
"It's like saying that we can't think anymore 'cause our penises are standing up, and we cannot think about you except in a sexual manner and we can't look at you without wanting to have sexual intercourse with you. And it's up to you, gorgeous woman, to lessen your appeal so that we can focus," Tuckner told the newspaper.
SHE IS PRETTY HOT THOUGH.
LOCAL TALENT
So first I have to say sorry all that I have been slacking on my blogging, I'll try my best to be more on top of it. Any ways today I just wanted to tell you about this young girl from right here in Red Deer... Her name is REBECCA RAABIS and she goes to HUNTING HILLS. I saw her at a talent contest which she won a few months back and I have to say I was really impressed. Not only by her but a lot of students at that school have mad skills but she stood out the most to me. I've seen a lot of up and coming artist in my days of being on radio some have made it most have not but I honestly thing REBECCA RAABIS is one of those talents that CAN and WILL make it. My hope is that we all in Red Deer and the surrounding area's and all the KRAZE followers will support her and see where it goes. She has a YOUTUBE page so when ever you get a chance to take a look and listen and send her some kind words and lets get her hits up, hopefully someone will take notice and we will see REBECCA RAABIS on the big stage along side DRAKE , JUSTIN BEIBER and the rest of them. GOOD LUCK REBECCA!
THIS NEXT ONE IS MY FAVORITE.

KWAMSTER
This information was in The New York Times several weeks ago as part of their "Spotlight
on the Home" series that highlighted creative and fanciful ways to solve common problems.
1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need
every day... Just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3,
Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium,
Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
2.
Feeling tired in the afternoon? Put down the caffeinated
soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and
Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower?
Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror... It will eliminate
the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.
4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a
few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season
long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a
scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee
the area. WOW!
5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before
going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along
your problem area for a few minutes. The photochemical in the cucumber
cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and
reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!
DOUBLE WOW!!
6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few
cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free.
Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish
essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding
both a hangover and headache!!
7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge?
Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European
trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.
8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that
you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut
cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine
that not only looks great but also repels water.
9. Out of WD-40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a
cucumber sliced rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is
gone!
10.
Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa?
Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the
chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and
be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been
shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.
11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints?
Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your
tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the photochemical will kill the
bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.
12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless
steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to
clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but
is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you
clean.
13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the
cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on
crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!
NOT SURE HOW TO TAKE THIS
Is it wrong that I think this is pretty cool?
A GOOD LAUGH FOR YOUR MONDAY
Hope you are having a good monday my friends, if not I have the perfect thing for you... LAUGHTER!
