Maroon 5 in Dallas Feb. 5th

Just read about this today on DirectTV's website:

DIRECTV's beachfront property in Victory Park will become the most coveted piece of Dallas real estate — aside from Cowboys Stadium — when fans descend on "Big D" for Super Bowl Weekend.

That's where one million pounds of sand, A-list celebrities, NFL athletes and thousands of spectators will converge on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011, for DIRECTV's Fifth Annual Celebrity Beach Bowl, presented by SPIKE HD. DIRECTV is taking over Victory Park and transforming it into a massive custom-made stadium, complete with a sand-filled football field and concert stage, constructed especially for the event, which is free and open to the public.

The game and performance will air live on DIRECTV's The 101 Network and, for the first time ever, will also be broadcast in 3D on DIRECTV's n3D powered by Panasonic. Additionally, the game will be broadcast on all of Fox Sports Network's Regional Sports Networks and affiliates and DIRECTV's Regional Sports Networks, more than twenty-five networks in total, giving the DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl its biggest audience ever of more than 85 million homes.

Everything is bigger in Texas and this year's Fifth Annual DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl, which has become one of the must-attend events of Super Bowl weekend, will be no exception. The entertainment world's hottest celebrities, along with current and former NFL athletes, will compete head to head in an exhilarating matchup in front of thousands of fervent fans. Immediately following the game and trophy presentation, the crowd will fill the beach for a concert featuring Maroon 5, presented by Palladia HD.

The day will begin at 1:30 p.m. ET/PT with pre-game show hosted by Dan Patrick and Kevin Frazier, presented by SHOWTIME. At 2:30 p.m. the game will begin when celebrities and athletes take the field. The DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl will be played over two, 20-minute halves and the action will be called by Patrick, entertainment reporter Nancy O'Dell and sideline reporter Tony Siragusa. The DIRECTV Blimp will be flying overhead to add to the excitement.

Meals on Wheels will be delivering items prior to Thanksgiving Day to brighten their holiday. The McKinney YMCA volunteers would like to help in this effort by providing the needed items. In addition, many seniors only companionship is there pet, so the YMCA will also be accepting pet food donations as well. Thanks to a generous donor, Meals on Wheels just received dog food. However, many seniors have cats, and Meals on Wheels would appreciate donations of dry cat food.

Collin County Teen Court has selected 20 teens who will be participating in their service project at the YMCA. They will be collecting and organizing needed donations and making gift boxes for the seniors. Please help us make Thanksgiving Day a special day for our seniors.

MHS Royal Pride March-a-thon

Be on the lookout for the band tomorrow morning! Here's some info from mckinneynews.net

THE McKinney High School Royal Pride Band will hit the streets and raise funds for the 2010-2011 year. The 8th Annual Royal Pride March-a-thon is Saturday August 14th. On tap this year are the retro tunes, “Give Me Some Lovin” and “Any Way You Want It”.

Students will be marching to raise funds for their individual accounts which pay band fees for the year and their out of state Spring Competition trip. While the final destination for the MHS Spring Competition trip isn't locked down, New York, Washington D. C. and San Francisco are the leading contenders. Students are out and about right now taking pledges. They will be working extremely hard to fill commitments in order to cover the costs for competing in one of these cities. Please consider supporting these students as they strive for excellence through competition.
The day starts @ 8:00 a.m. in the MHS parking lot and stops at Tom Thumb and Market Street for mini-concerts and review. Route details are as follows. After departing MHS The Royal Pride Band crosses under I-75 onto Valley Creek Trail and begins the trek uphill to Sunny Meadow, Kensington, Provine and Hardin Roads. They continue to White Wing, La Paloma, Creekridge, back to White Wing and then to Doe Run. The final lap of the route is Quail Hollow back to Hardin, across Eldorado to Tom Thumb on Eldorado Parkway.

Tom Thumb is the site of the band's first concert & flag review. It is also a most welcome place to refill with life sustaining water. The R.P.B. is again thankful for the generosity of Market Street in providing this year's lunch stop and final mini-concert performance opportunity between 12 – 1pm.

Details about this fine program may be found at www.mhsroyalpride.org.

Perfect Alarm Clock for SNOOZERS

I read about this today. Since I have a problem getting up and I always hit the snooze too many times...this might be perfect.

-Carrie

Addicted to your snooze button? The Clocky Alarm may be your best bet. It actually jumps off your night stand and hides when you don't wake up to turn it off. It rolls in circles while beeping and flashing until you have caught your bearings and have woken up enough to turn it off. The alarm beeps in a random pattern while the screen flashes and if that is not enough to wake you up, I am not sure what will! Check out the Clocky Alarm.

NATIONAL NO PHONE ZONE DAY

Here is some info on Oprah's campaign to get people to stop texting while driving...

*As a kick-off to May's National Youth Traffic Safety Month, Oprah Winfrey is taking a stand on cell phone use by drivers. In cities around the country and on a live broadcast on April 30, Oprah is launching a public service campaign called "No Phone Zone Day" to honor victims of distracted drivers while also educating drivers on the risks and dangers of driving while texting and using cell phones.

The events on Friday include a call to action. Drivers are asked to sign a pledge stating that they will not drive and text. Oprah started this push a few months ago, and there are other efforts being made to make it illegal to text and drive.To date, more than 160,000 people have signed the pledge.

The sobering fact is that in the U.S., over 5,000 young people are killed in automobile crashes every year, making it the number one cause of death.

"A call or text isn't worth taking a life," said Winfrey. "We must not allow more mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers to die before we take action against distracted driving. Let's put a stop to it now, by joining together on April 30 for national 'No Phone Zone Day', and by making our cars a 'No Phone Zone.'"

"I've made it my mission at the DOT to end distracted driving. We know that if we can get people to put away cell phones and other electronic devices when they are behind the wheel, we can save thousands of lives and prevent hundreds of thousands of injuries every year" said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. "That's why I'm proud to support and participate in Oprah's 'No Phone Zone Day.'"

Texts for Moms

From Time magazine article...
"Since its debut in February, text4baby has enrolled more than 30,000 users by getting them to text BABY (or, for the Spanish version, BEBE) to 511411 and punch in their due date. The first message they receive urges them to see a doctor early in their pregnancy and to keep all appointments. The texts, written by the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition and sent until the baby's first birthday, stress such things as good nutrition, immunization and safe sleeping. (Babies go on their backs, not their bellies.)"

Sign up for it and let us know how it goes and if it was helpful.

New baby at the Dallas Zoo

Johnny and I are giving away tickets to the Dallas Zoo. Here's a cool new animal now at the zoo. It's called an OKAPI. I've never heard of them but they look awesome.

From Dallas Morning News: Askari, the baby okapi born in December, started exploring his habitat at the Dallas Zoo this week.
As he is only three months old, he spends at least half the day in his barn but when he does venture out, he is curious and active, said zoo officials.
Askari, which means "warrior" in Swahili, can be seen along the Nature Trail in the Wilds of Africa.
The Dallas Zoo has an okapi breeding program; about 20 percent of okapi in zoos in the U.S. and Japan can trace their lineage back to the Dallas Zoo.

Keep listening for your chance to win tickets!

Sing A Song Today

According to John Tesh here are some tricks to give you an instant energy surge:

* Take 800 steps. Dr. Evangeline Lausier is a clinical professor of Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine. She says that a moderately brisk walk, which is a pace of about 100 steps per minute, is an excellent way to get blood flowing to your heart and brain. This also triggers the release of endorphins – brain chemicals that make you feel alert and energetic. If you can, walk outdoors. The sun provides mood-enhancing vitamin D, even on cloudy days.
* Wake up your nose – and the rest of you will follow. Smells stimulate the brain’s “olfactory” center, and heightens awareness of your surroundings. Lausier says to dab a drop of therapeutic-grade rosemary essential oil – which is sold at health food stores – on your pulse points behind both ears, as you would do with perfume. Or, dampen a cloth with cool water and sprinkle it with a few drops of lemon oil, and put it on the back of your neck for five minutes. Do not dab full-strength essential oils under your nose – they’re too strong.
* Belt out a few bars. As you sing, you inhale deeply, bringing more energizing oxygen into your lungs, and increasing your circulation throughout your body, and as you exhale, you get rid of carbon dioxide – a waste product. Plus, if you choose your favorite song, that’ll give you an added emotional lift. ( THIS IS JOHNNY B'S FAVORITE THING TO DO)
* Choose NUTS as a snack. A handful of almonds, cashews, walnuts or other type of nut provides a sustained energy boost thanks to complex carbohydrates that stabilize your blood sugar, and proteins that help build strong muscle-tissue.

Top 5 Smartest:
1. Border Collies
2. Poodles

Help The Woman In Your Life Feel Less Stressed

We shared these with Johnny B this morning. He's going to try them out and get back to us. ;) Here's the info from John Tesh at www.tesh.com

*Guys, the woman in your life is stressed out! According to the Boston Consulting Group, almost nine out of 10 women say they feel over-worked and under-appreciated. So, we checked in with a variety of relationship experts to see what men can do to help:

•Do one of her chores. In a study that compared the amount of time couples spent doing housework, women outperformed men at a rate of three to one! A recent poll done by Shape magazine showed that the majority of women would prefer unexpected cleaning help over a surprise bouquet of flowers.

•Encourage “girls night out.” Sherrie Schneider is co-author The Rules for Marriage: Time-Tested Secrets for Making Your Marriage Work. She says that the best relationships are supported by a strong social circle. Spending time with girlfriends helps women maintain a feeling of independence. Plus, they get some time to relax and do some much-needed venting.

•Get emotional. Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn wrote the book For Couples Only: Eye-opening Insights about How the Opposite Sex Thinks. Their research shows that the single most damaging thing a man can do in his relationship is withdraw. You don’t have to make any dramatic changes. They say that spending just ten minutes chatting with your sweetheart about her day – and yours - makes a big difference.

Guys, it’s that simple! Do a little extra housework, encourage girls night out, and spend some time really talking to your wife or girlfriend. You’ll make her less stressed, and we all know that when mama’s happy, everybody’s happy.

Try these out this weekend!
