VH1 Turns Down “So You Think You Can Mime?”

NEW YORK (CAP) – Producers of TV's newest reality show, So You Think You Can Mime? are heading back to the drawing board after VH1 announced the network would not be picking up the show for its new reality TV block of programming.
 
Thus far, no network has expressed interest in airing the show.
 
"Our audience has an insatiable appetite for two things: John Mayer videos and inane reality shows," said Ben Zurier, Senior Vice President of Program Strategy for VH1. "But mimes? Come on, even we have some slim standards on what we call celebrities.
 
"You'd think that if we'd give a show to Chad Ochocinco, we'd give a show to anyone, and for the most part you're right," added Zurier. "But we have to draw the line somewhere. Even if it's a fake line in the air."
 
The show is the brain child of So You Think You Can Dance? executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, who admitted he's "pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel" when it comes to ideas for new reality shows.
 
In fact, in light of this latest turn of events, Lythgoe said he's having second thoughts about moving forward with pilots for So You Think You Can Synchronize Swim? and So You Think You Can Cross Stitch?.
 
"I thought maybe mimes could use a bit of a fair shake," said Lythgoe. "I mean, whenever we make fun of mimes, we're always using Marcel Marceau as a reference, and he's been dead for – well, a while now, and no one has stepped up to take his place."
 
Lythgoe had launched tryouts for the show in seven different U.S. cities, but those tryouts only produced a total of three contestants. And one of them was an autistic boy who had no idea where he was.
 
"I guess American TV's just not ready for the subtle nuances of miming," Lythgoe added. "However, I think if that boy can cut down on the whole rocking back and forth thing, he just might be."
 
Mime was slated to be hosted by a newer version of the famous '70s mixed-gender mime duo Shields and Yarnell. The original Lorene Yarnell died in 1988 after suffocating in an invisible box and was replaced by Yarnell 2.
 
The new duo has met with great success since the mid '90s in Branson, Mo. at the Yakov Smirnoff dinner theatre, however neither Shields nor Yarnell 2 were available for comment on the fate of their show.

Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia offer asylum to George Zimmerman

Following the conclusion of his murder trial, George Zimmerman was offered asylum by the South American countries of Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia. The nations have each declared that Zimmerman can take immediate residency in their lands without any fear of reprisal.
 
“Mr. Zimmerman is welcome in our country,” said Nicaraguan Secretary of International Law Manuel Rosario. “We would like the international community to see that Nicaragua is a major player in the world’s asylum seeker scene. You don’t have to go all the way to Russia to have protection. We also have much nicer weather and your dollar will go much further.”
 
The Bolivian government was first to offer Zimmerman asylum, sending a diplomatic envoy to Florida before he was even charged. “There are many reasons we seek to shelter those who want asylum,” said Bolivian Vice President Álvaro García Linera. “But in this case, the overwhelming reason is a shortage of well-suited mall cops in our country. We thought that if we brought Mr. Zimmerman to Bolivia, the quasi-security elite of the world would quickly follow, and we would have the safest food courts in the continent.”
 
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is considering granting asylum status to American leaker Edward Snowden, has warned the South American countries to be careful what they wish for. “Keeping an American in asylum status isn’t easy,” explained Putin. “I don’t think anyone realizes how much the average American needs to eat in a day. We’re gonna go broke trying to make sure this guy gets enough junk food to make it through a day without collapsing. And the Zimmerman character, he looks like he might be even tubbier.”
 
“Mr. Zimmerman, on our soil you can breathe free,” said Venezuelan State Department official Carlos Alvarez. “You can rest assured that, even though you have been declared not guilty, you can live a life in Venezuela free from the worst of all persecutions: being pestered by cable news talk show hosts.”

Facebook Admits Breach Showed All Our Boring Crap

Read Time:1 Minute, 41 Second
SAN FRANCISCO (CAP) – Facebook Inc. has inadvertently exposed 6 million users' boring crap to unauthorized viewers over the past year, the world's largest social networking company disclosed this week.
 
Facebook blamed the leaks, which began in 2012, on a technical glitch in its massive data archive. As a result of the glitch, Facebook users used to seeing their friends' boring crap also saw boring crap that had been posted by non-friends.
 
A Facebook spokesman said the delay in disclosing the breach was due to company procedure stipulating that the users whose boring crap had been breached be notified that others had seen their stupid memes, offensive political jokes, blatant plugs and pictures of their kids and pets that they thought were incredibly adorable but that, in reality, were just kind of meh.
 
"We currently have no evidence that this bug has been exploited maliciously and we have not received complaints from users, who couldn't tell the strange boring crap from the boring crap they usually get," Facebook said on its blog. This is likely because, according to a recent study, users don't really know upwards of 70 percent of their Facebook friends, and many of them may not even actually exist.
 
"But they'd have to exist to have crap that boring," noted study participant Marc Hurwitz, whose Facebook page Stop Posting Your Boring Crap has more than 3 million 'Likes,' even more than his next most popular page, I Desperately Want Hugh Jackman to be Gay.
 
In related news, the breach also exposed the users emails and phone numbers, but no one seemed fazed by that, noting that the government already has all that information. "I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's a good thing most of our users are stupid people," said Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Top 3 Strategies For Losing Stubborn Fat

Posted on by
Reply
0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 18 Second
INTERMITTENT FASTING
 
This strategy for losing stubborn belly fat works by tricking the body into developing a more efficient metabolism. Essentially, going longer periods in between meals – roughly 12 to 18 hours – occasionally helps the body to burn more fat by inhibiting a-2 receptors and activating b-2 receptors.
 
B-2 receptors are the ones that signal to your body that it’s time to burn fat, as opposed to a-2 receptors, which are triggered in order to hold onto fat deposits. Some areas of the body have more of these types of receptors than others. Stubborn belly fat, unsurprisingly, tends to be home to far more a-2 receptors than b-2 receptors – hence the trouble with losing weight in that area.
 
As you fast, the insulin levels in your body drop, which ultimately activates the b-2 receptors to start burning fat. Thus, when you eat again, the body is prepared to burn the calories that you consume rather than hold onto them. Eating in cycles, in terms of calories and macronutrients, thus primes your body to process at its best when you do consume food.
 
2. HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING
 
When it comes to busting fat with exercise, high intensity interval training is the best way to lose stubborn belly fat. This is because interval training actually burns more calories per unit of time than a steady pace workout. High intensity interval training, also known as HIIT, is also extremely beneficial for increasing insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
 
These two factors are known to play a major role in the difficulty associated with losing weight, so managing them with high intensity interval training might just give your body the boost it needs to beat that stubborn belly fat.
 
Finally, although high intensity interval training involves extremely difficult pushes of 100% effort, these types of workouts tend to be perceived as easier since they’re shorter and come with built-in breaks. So if you find that long, steady time-sinks of workouts aren’t getting rid of the belly fat, try throwing in some high intensity interval training, such as sprints or supersets with weights.
3. Caffeine with Fasting and Exercise
Caffeine is a thermogenic, meaning that it speeds up your metabolism to help you use more calories as a part of both daily function and when you exercise. If fasting and exercise don’t bust through that stubborn belly fat on their own, try adding in 200mg caffeine per day with your workout, up to 600mg per day if you typically consume a lot of caffeine (via coffee, tea, or energy drinks) and already have a tolerance for it.

No bullet-proof car for pope in Brazil

Pope Francis (File, AFP)

Vatican City – Pope Francis will ditch the bullet-proof "popemobile" used by his predecessors on his visit to Brazil this month and travel in an open-top jeep, the Vatican said on Wednesday.

Vatican spokesperson Federico Lombardi also dismissed concerns ahead of the 22-28 July trip about the demonstrations that have recently been rocking Brazil.

"We are going to Brazil with confidence in the authorities' ability to manage the situation," he said at a briefing on the upcoming visit – the pope's first foreign trip since being elected in March.

"We know the demonstrations are not at all aimed at the pope or the Church," Lombardi said.

More than a million young people from 170 countries are expected for World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro.

Better with contact

Brazil was shaken by a series of demonstrations in June, mainly over the cost of public transport, spending on 2014 World Cup and corruption.

"We are not currently expecting any inconveniences for World Youth Day. Everyone will understand the pope's message is a message of solidarity," Lombardi said.

He also pointed out that the bullet-proof "popemobile" of years past will be left in the Vatican and Francis will instead use one of two open-top jeeps – one white, one green – that have already been shipped out to Rio.

"This is the pope's choice, in continuity with what he is doing here. He feels better when there is contact" with the crowd, Lombardi said.

The spokesperson also gave further details about the pope's programme including a helicopter trip to the Marian sanctuary of Aparecida and his visit to the Varginha favela in Rio where he will visit a family.
