At least that's according to researchers at the University of Missouri, who found that just SEEING the letters "A" or "F" before a test can subconsciously affect how well you do. The study was published in the "British Journal of Educational Psychology", and the results were verified in three separate trials, with students who looked at the letter "A" consistently performing better than students who looked at the letter "F." A guy named Dr. Keith Ciani co-led the study.  He says, quote, "These findings suggest that exposure to letters 'A' and 'F,' even without any explicit reference to success or failure, significantly affected the students' performance on the tests. "Exposure to the letter 'A' made the students non-consciously approach the task with the aim to succeed, while exposure to letter 'F' made the students non-consciously want to avoid failure. "Research suggests that when people approach tasks with the desire to succeed they perform better than when striving to avoid failure." In other words, if you want to ace your finals, all you have to do is look at the letter "A" before you take the test, and you'll be just fine.  SOURCE: Science Daily. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC Mark started the show by accidentally spilling Mercedes’ coffee.

That way, you have a foolproof excuse to get divorced.  In other words, the 'wack-array-sass-sayer' provides a relatively conflict-free way to end your miserable marriage. The idea of using professionals to end a relationship isn't new in Japan . . . there are a bunch of companies that specialize in it, and they've been around for at least ten years.   And you can use them in a few different ways . . .

Under the letter of the law, breast milk is treated just like any other bodily fluid.  And Toni was slapped with a third-degree felony assault charge as a result.   Now she's being held on $10,000 bond, and if she's convicted she could get up to five years in prison.  All because she got wasted and squirted a cop in the face with her breast milk.

According to a new book, "NutureShock: New Thinking About Children", the theory that praise, self-esteem and accomplishment increase together, is false. Children who are constantly praised often underrate the importance of effort. Children who open their lunchboxes and find mothers' handwritten notes telling them how amazingly bright they are tend to fail when they face academic difficulties. The authors also say that over-praised children are prone to cheating because they have not developed strategies for coping with failure.

Mercedes knows exactly what she’s going to do when she wins the lottery. She will pay for Mark’s daughter’s college tuition and she would send me on a WWE World tour.   Pretty cool, now if she just starts PLAYING THE LOTTERY our chances will increase drastically. Mercedes mom says that she is a MILF, that’s “Mother in Love with Father.” Turns out Mark’s mom and I are the only two people that thought the band TLC stood for “Tender Loving Care.”   Sorry I was not aware it stood for "T-Boz,” "Left Eye" and "Chilli." As a kid my mom would put notes in my lunchbox but it sounds like Mercedes had it the best.  Her mom was the lunch lady and would make Mercedes a custom lunch every day.  So while you and I were eating Sloppy Joes Mercedes would have rack of lamb with a side of grilled asparagus. If we were to turn this show into a TV show Mark would be played by Kevin Bacon, we are still casting for Mercedes, Ben Stiller would play me and Blair would be played by Mindy Cohen… best known as Natalie from the ‘Facts of Life.’ Speaking of Blair, don’t ever cross her or she will pop you in the mouth. Planning on having a drink this weekend?  Try a little conniegnac. Finally, this morning Mercedes was eager to help our morning commuters,  perhaps a little too eager.

The two were suspended after a recording of the radio calls was posted on the Internet. On the recording the elementary-school-age boy made five transmissions to pilots preparing for departure.  The pilots enjoyed hearing from the boy... one said he wished he could bring his kid to work.

"Remember, men aren't as good at communicating as women are." The funny thing is, a guy will toss this line out even if what held him up is perfectly legitimate. Still, you shouldn't let it slide — it's a lie nonetheless. Here’s how to get him to tell the truth. Lie # 4: "It Wasn't That Expensive" "Men like toys, and they don't like sensing your disapproval, even if you don't share a bank account," Amodeo says. He could also be dropping this fib to try to prove he's responsible with money, says Barton Goldsmith, author of Emotional Fitness for Intimacy. "He doesn't want you to think that if you do share funds down the line, he's going to blow them all on things like plasma TVs."  Make sure you are both on the same page by asking him these money questions. Lie # 3: "I'm on My Way" Guys usually throw you this line when you're making them meet you at some event they don't want to attend — like, say, your family reunion. He's stalling, but he's also being pouty. Consider: He can't exactly refuse to go without enduring serious repercussions from you, and he can't very well throw a temper tantrum in front of your pop-pop. So saying this and then showing up late is his way of gaining a wee amount of control. Take this trivia quiz to find out how well you understand guy’s cryptic code. Lie # 2:"'I Didn't Have Too Much to Drink" This lie could point to a serious problem — and we're not just talking about your relationship. If he says it often he could have an alcohol issue, Goldsmith says. Read up on these dangerous drinking practices so you’ll have the info you need to talk to him about how concerned you are. But watch the timing. "That's definitely a conversation you need to have when he's sober," Amodeo adds. Lie # 1: "No, Your Butt Doesn't Look Big in That" Look, if you assail him with the question in the first place, you're really just asking to be thrown this all-purpose mollifier. "Every guy has a buddy who's told him, 'I answered this question wrong once, and my girlfriend wouldn't have sex with me for a year,' " Goldsmith says. This is the one safe response he knows, so there's no way he's going to risk the worst by straying from it. If you want an honest opinion, go ask one of your girls instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC Mercedes told us that her father tried to turn her into a boy.

Shorts Wearing shorts to work is just plain wrong. 5. Tattoos Keep yours under wraps or disguised with a heavy spray-on makeup. 6. Extreme hair color Natural looking highlights are fine, but never dye your hair blue, magenta or other colors not found in nature. 7. Too much cologne A strong scent is a turnoff to most people. Just go for the clean smell of soap. 8. Long, fake or wild-colored nails Keep your nails short and neat. Avoid nail decals, black polish or "Elvira" length nails. 9. Grungy beards Most companies prefer clean-shaven men but if you can't deal with that, at least keep it neatly trimmed. 10. Micro-miniskirts Make sure there is no more than three or four inches between knee and hem. You want to be able to sit without giving a peep show. 11. Overly revealing attire Too little is too much. Breasts, back and arms should be covered. Avoid overly snug outfits by making sure there is at least one inch of room between body and fabric. 12. Athletic socks with street shoes People notice these things! 13. Body piercings Studies show that most people see body jewelry as unprofessional and that people with multiple piercings are less likely to be hired or promoted. 14. Bare midriff Make sure there is at least one inch of room between body and fabric and that your shirt is long enough to hide your midriff. 15.

It confirms a connection when dialing or texting on cell phones and alerts us to emergencies. When the sound was removed from slot machines in Las Vegas, revenue fell by 24%. Experiments undertaken in restaurants show that when slow music (slower than the rhythm of a heartbeat) is played, we eat slower--and we eat more! Buyology Inc. and Elias Arts, a sound identity company in New York, wired up 50 volunteers and measured their galvanic, pupil, and brainwave responses to sounds using the latest neuroscience-based research methods. We learned that sound has remarkable power. This was surprising to realize just how many commercial brands over the past 20 years have made their way into the world's 10 most powerful and addictive sounds--beating some of the most familiar and comforting sounds of nature.

When that time is up, the message will disappear from the phone, the sender's phone and any servers. The message also can't be forwarded anywhere or stored anywhere. It works like this: When a man sends his mistress an iPhone message through TigerText, the mistress will be asked to install the app. When she does, she can read the message, but she can't keep it. In fact, the message is never actually sent to her phone; it's stored on TigerText's servers. After the time limit is up, the message disappears. The time limit could be anywhere from one minute to five days. There's even a "delete on read" setting that counts down from 60 after a message is opened and erases it when the timer hits zero. A "delete history" option also wipes away any evidence of a phone call. No suspicious numbers and no chance of getting caught by the old "press redial" routine. TigerText was actually invented before the Tiger Woods scandal and the company that made it decided to stick with it.

Recently, researchers at the University of Zurich in Switzerland surveyed 59,000 international travelers to find out how many of them got sick while traveling. What they found is that men and women tend to be affected by different illnesses while on vacation.   For example, women are more likely to come down with colds, urinary tract infections, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems.  And they're also more likely to have adverse reactions to medications, like those meant to prevent malaria. Meanwhile, men are more likely to get fevers, including malaria, rickettsia and dengue fever.  And they're also more likely to get mountain or altitude sickness, frostbite and STDs.  That's right . . . STDs. According to a report by the researchers, quote, "Safe sex advice is a missing component in most pre-travel practices, and our study suggests that male travelers, in particular, would benefit from greater preventive efforts."   Overall, men are 33% more likely than women to come home from vacation with infected genitals.

Be grateful A study had people write letters of gratitude to people who had helped them in some way. The study found that the people reported having more happiness over weeks and even months after writing the letters. What's even more surprising is that sending the letter wasn't even necessary. People still said they felt better even when they wrote letters but never delivered them. 2. Be optimistic People were asked to visualize an ideal future, for example, living with a loving and supportive partner, or finding a job that was fulfilling. They were then told to describe their image in a journal entry. After doing that for a few weeks, people also said they had higher feelings of well-being. 3. Count your blessings People who practice writing down three good things that have happened to them every week show big boosts in happiness. It seems that the act of focusing on the positive helps people remember reasons to be glad. 4. Use your strengths Another study asked people to identify their greatest strengths and then to try to use these strengths in new ways. For example, someone who says they have a good sense of humor could try telling jokes to lighten up business meetings or cheer up sad friends. That seemed to help happiness. 5. Commit acts of kindness It turns out helping others also helps us. People who donate time or money to charity, or who help people in need have improvements in their own happiness.

One NY couple negotiated the usual household issues. Who makes the bed. Who handles the laundry. And who gets legal custody of their Xbox, their friends and their neighborhood bodegas if they ever break up. Another couple focus their pre-prenup on the dog. It's their version of a "dating prenup," a set of contractual guidelines for relationships and relation-splits. The number of unmarried couples living together shot up 88 percent from 1990 to 2007. So it's no surprise that pre-prenups, also known as cohabitation agreements or "cohabs," are an "explosive trend". A matrimonial attorney says pre-prenups are particularly common in New York, where common-law marriages aren't recognized and unmarried couples are considered legal strangers - unless they have a cohab. "You live together and you think you're going to be protected. "Then the guy dumps you and you're left high and dry - it's a pretty bad situation." She says that while legal assistance is preferable, informal signed documents or even mutually acknowledged e-mails can serve as binding contracts. She's drafted cohabs covering everything from real estate rights to education expenses to partner support to "bad boy/bad girl clauses" that outlaw cheating and drug use. One of the few things that can't be included in a cohab is a requirement for sex, "Because then it looks like a prostitution contract." <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/the_new_sweetheart_deals_yIobNvxY0O71LxMN7oGPcP#ixzz0gLnirlNB" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for the details. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">HAWK PANTHER <img height="381" width="400" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Les%20Singer.jpg" /> Guys do you want to become a Hawk Panther?  Then <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hawkpanther.com">CLICK HERE </a>for the details -------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC Marks daughter likes to surf Youtube for videos of dog.  Mercedes warned him that he needs to be careful when she is looking for videos of  Shih Tzu’s.

Researchers at Northwestern University have determined that Bronze Medalists are HAPPIER than Silver Medalists.   This is based on an analysis of facial expressions of previous Olympians while on the medal stand, so the science sounds rock solid.   Silver Medalists are more likely to torture themselves with something called downward "counterfactual thinking" which means that they keep thinking about all the things they could have done differently to finish first. Meanwhile, bronze medalists have upward thoughts like "At least I won" which makes them feel more satisfaction from their Olympic experience.

Mark did not know the meaning of the initials TCB and how it related to Elvis Presley. He did however know Maxwell Smart’s catch phrase. Mercedes met a woman over the weekend that has been living a parallel life to hers.  They are both from Colorado and went to the same college; they even lived in the same dorm… just two floors apart! My wife and I crossed paths during my first year of community college... it was "7th Graders visit College Day."

But you can reduce your risk by getting more exercise, losing weight, eating less salt, and quitting smoking. #3.)  PSORIASIS.   The rough, itchy patches of skin are uncomfortable, but according to a five-year study of 500,000 people, they might also increase your heart attack risk.  It all depends on how bad your psoriasis is.  If it's severe, your risk is doubled. They're not sure WHY it happens yet.  But they think your arteries might get inflamed when your body tries to fight off the disease. #4.)  ASTHMA.   Studies show a strong connection between asthma and psychological problems like depression and anxiety.  Researchers think one can lead to the other. If you have breathing problems, it can cause anxiety.  And if you have anxiety, it can cause breathing problems.  So if you think you have either, ask your doctor about both. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">THE CRYING WIFE <img height="300" width="226" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Crying%20Wife.png" /> <a target="_blank" href="http://cryingwife.com/_/home.html">CLICK HERE</a> for the fun. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">NINE OUT OF TEN WOMEN CHECK OUT OTHER WOMEN'S BREASTS "SEVERAL TIMES A DAY" <img height="267" width="275" align="bottom" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Man%20Bra.jpg" alt="" /> A British plastic surgery company called Transform recently interviewed 3,000 women and 1,000 guys in England, and asked them about everyone's favorite topic:  Breasts.  Here's what they found . . . Nine out of ten women check out other women's breasts several times a day. Four out of ten guys admit they look at women's breasts at LEAST ten times a day. Four in ten women admit they have what's called "breast envy" among their friends and co-workers. 51% of women are unhappy with their breasts, and 63% want a bigger rack.   At the same time, almost half of all men are happy with their partner's breasts, and wouldn't change anything about them.

Some schools have canceled dances altogether, some make students sign agreements... and some, go full tilt: A West Hollywood High School threatened to turn on the lights and crank up some Burt Bacharach if the students started to grind. Before students at a Aliso Viejo, CA High School can attend the winter formal this weekend, they'll have to sign a dance contract that specifically bans grinding, short skirts, and taking off their shirts. Minnetonka High School in Minnesota has a different approach to grinding. The principal created a "Dance Like Grandma's Watchin'" campaign. The campaign uses videos to get the point across. One video shows a student who doesn't get into Harvard because of a prior citation for grinding, another video shows a student who is bandaged up and bummed out from a "grinding accident." At two Salina, Kansas high schools the pro-grinders fought back. When the superintendent banned suggestive dancing last fall, students boycotted their schools' homecoming dances and organized their own. More than 400 kids attended the student-run dance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">OZZY OSBOURNE <img height="391" width="300" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Ozzy%20Book.jpg" /> OZZY was on the show this morning.  Ozzy will be doing a book signing this Thursday - details <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ozzy.com/taxonomy/term/2">HERE.</a> <object height="24" width="220" id="audioplayer1" data="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param value="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" name="movie" /> <param value="soundFile=http://podcast.mix941.fm/kmxb2/2224547.MP3" name="FlashVars" /> <param value="high" name="quality" /> <param value="false" name="menu" /> <param value="transparent" name="wmode" /></object> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">FIVE SIGNS YOU'RE HAPPIER THAN YOU THINK <img height="248" width="350" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Happy%20People.jpg" /> #1.)  YOU SMILE IN PICTURES.  According to a recent study, people who smile wide in their college yearbook pictures are up to five times less likely to go through a divorce. #2.)  YOU HAVE A SISTER.   A study presented at the British Psychological Society's annual conference showed that people who have at least one sister are more optimistic and better at coping with stress. #3.)  YOU'RE NOT GLUED TO THE TV.  A University of Maryland study of 45,000 people over 34 years-old showed that if you watch 30 percent less television, you're more likely to spend time reading, socializing, and going to religious services.

Then last year, they followed up on the study to see where the civil servants are now. What they found is that those who reported they were bored at work were TWO AND A HALF TIMES more likely to have died of a heart problem. In other words, boredom actually CAN kill you. For what it's worth, the researchers say that boredom alone probably won't kill you.  But when you deal with it by drinking, smoking, taking drugs, or acting out in some other risky way, it absolutely can.

Broken-heart syndrome seems to especially affect patients who had recently lost a spouse or other family member.  The syndrome mimics heart attacks but appears to have little connection with coronary artery disease. . Instead, it is typically triggered by emotion or physical trauma that releases a surge of adrenaline that overwhelms the heart. The syndrome is relatively uncommon, accounting for an estimated 1% to 2% of people—and about 6% of women—who are diagnosed with a heart attack. <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703615904575053443911673752.html?mod=rss_Health" target="_blank"> CLICK HERE</a> for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">SOME PEOPLE ARE EATING PARASITIC WORMS TO LOSE WEIGHT <img height="225" width="300" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Worm.jpg" /> Some people are going on a nasty weight loss program... without changing the way they eat: swallowing parasitic worms.

You also turn your nose up at homemade gifts whether it’s flowers from someone’s garden, a scrapbook, or a fresh-baked basket of cookies. • Your phone calls, emails and texts need to be returned right away. • Valet parking is a must in your book. You would never expect a date to include self-parking or (gasp) metered street parking. • You need to be pampered when you have the slightest of sniffles. Your partner must drop everything to nurse you back to health, fetch blankets, deliver hot soup, stock up on your favorite magazines, rub your feet, and massage your achin’ head. • You expect something grandiose and well planned out on your birthday – you’d be insulted by a small affair with just a few friends. After all it is your Big Day… • You’re overly sensitive to your environment – always too hot, too cold or too annoyed by littlest things like the TV volume being a tad loud. • You can’t order at a restaurant without doling out a long list of special needs and tailored requests. • You complain about walking more than a block or two – and feel it’s so much better to be chauffeured around. • You require multiple phone calls a day just to remind you that you are, indeed, loved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">AUTO TUNE Mark, Mercedes, JC and Blair put Auto Tune to the test.  Take a listen to see who's voice sounds the best after it's put through the Auto Tune processing.

His version of the classic sandwich is so delicious that he is a finalist in a national contest by Jif to pick the best sandwich in the country. The contest is open for public voting at www.jif.com, where all 10 recipes will be on display until voting ends Friday. The creators of the five most popular sandwiches will win a $2,500 college scholarship, as well as a trip to New York for the finals. Top prize is a $25,000 scholarship. The boy's "Crispy Fish Stick Wrap with Peanut Sauce" blends a mix of Asian and Tex-Mex influences. He came up with it by chance. He accidentally dipped one of his fish sticks in peanut butter and thought it was pretty tasty. He then decided to add avocado, fish sticks and tortilla shells because they are all his favorite foods. His mom insisted on the carrots because she wanted him to have "something healthy.

Mark said something about it maybe being that our (his) generation "just doesn't get The Who."  Evidently, nothing could be closer to the truth. And for that, I feel sorry for you. You don't know what you've missed. Mercedes said she couldn't wait for it to be over and commented, "Of all the bands they could have got, why did they pick The Who?"  I'll answer that. Because The Who happens to be one of the greatest, most influential and innovative rock bands of all time; that's why. You two are supposed to be professional DJ's.  You should both be ashamed of yourselves.   I've disagreed with some of the things you've said on the air in the past, but I always chalked it up to minor difference of opinion. Unfortunately, this time I can't do that. If you two professional DJ's can't show a classic band like The Who at least a small amount of the respect they deserve, then I, the station I'm affiliated with and all my associate DJ's and listeners have no use for you. I doubt I'll bother to listen to your show anymore.   You might have done your homework before dishing them on the air. I think you owe The Who and their enormous body of fans an apology for having plenty of negative things to say and nothing positive. Would it have been so hard for you big shots to show some respect for a band that has helped shape the history and course of rock music for four decades? Apparently so.   Disappointed,   DJ Freddie~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">AIRLINES TO CHARGE FOR BLANKETS <img height="200" width="200" align="bottom" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Airline%20Blanket.jpg" alt="" /> While you were busy, surviving the lousy weather (or making your Super Bowl-watching plans)...

The Ouija board has been sold by Hasbro since 1967. A couple of years ago, they created a pink version for tweens to call on "spirits". Religious critics are saying the board is a "dangerous spiritual game" that opens up anyone, particularly Christians, to attacks on their soul. One pro-life organization spokesman said, "The Bible explicitly states "not to mess with spirits" and that using a Ouija board will leave a person's soul vulnerable to attack. "The Ouija board is actually is a portal to talk to spirits and it's hard to get people to understand that until they actually do it. I don't pretend to know how it works, but it actually does."

A scientific survey of pet ownership (by researchers at the University of Bristol) say more educated people tend to work longer hours and choose a pet to fit their lifestyles. Unlike dogs, cats require no walking and can manage with little human company. Homes with degree-holders were 1.36 times more likely to have a cat than other households. The same homes were less likely to have a dog than households where no-one went to college. The study of 2,980 people also found that cat owners were more likely to be older and female. The researcher says, "Cats require less time per day than a dog, so they are more popular with educated people who work late and have long commutes."

More young adults each day are suffering from headaches, tingling in the arm and neck pain. Docs say it's from too much time leaning over hand-held devices and texting. If you feel worse physically the more you text, you could be suffering from "text neck." Possible problems associated with "text neck" include:     * headaches     * neck pain     * shoulder pain     * gastrointestinal issues     * loss of lung capacity     * pinched nerve     * spine degeneration So what should somebody with "text neck" do? A chiropractor (in Minnesota) recommends back realignment and four special exercises. Also, remember to lift your phone up and text at eye level rather than leaning over your phone.

But on a pay-per-text plan, the messages typically cost 20 cents to send and 10 cents to receive... that's a markup of 6,500%. Movie Theater Popcorn -- 900% Markup A medium bag of popcorn costs just 60 cents to make but retails for $6, a whopping 900% markup. An economics professor says theater owners have to mark up popcorn so much because they don't make a profit from the movie tickets. 'Free' Credit Reports That'll Cost You There's nothing free about forking over $179 a year for information at Freecreditreport.com. Instead you can go to AnnualCreditReport.com, which is run by the Federal Trade Commission, and get a truly free report once a year from each of the credit agencies. Name-Brand Painkillers -- 60% Markup Is Advil's sleek design worth 160% more than the same medicine in a plain package? A 50-count bottle of 200 mg Advil tablets costs $8.49, versus just $5.29 for the exact same bottle of generic ibuprofen. Brand names may give us more peace of mind, but the cheaper stuff works just as well, and in exactly the same way. It's required to, by law. Wine at Restaurants -- 500% Markup Ordering wine in a restaurant can cost six times as much as drinking the same bottle at home. At the Olive Garden in Manhattan's Times Square, a bottle of Sutter Home's White Zinfandel goes for $24 -- but it retails online for as little as $4 per bottle. Think that's rough? Prices for wine sold by the glass are tripled or even quadrupled since restaurants have to account for the chance that they won't sell the whole bottle before it spoils. College Textbooks -- $900 a Year! Each semester, college students shell out hundreds of dollars on textbooks they'll use for only a few months. The average estimated cost of books and supplies is approximately $900 per year.

With that in mind, here are some tips to help you post the best profile picture, from a new study by a dating website called OKCupid.com: The most effective profile shots for WOMEN are: #1.)  Those where she's making a "flirty" face while looking directly into the camera #2.)  MySpace-style photos where she uses her cell phone to take a self-portrait #3.)  And those where her cleavage is prominently displayed And the most effective profile shots for MEN are: #1.)  Those where he's posing with an animal #2.)  And those where he's not wearing a shirt   And according to the study, the worst profile picture a woman can post is one where she's posing with an animal, while making a "flirty" face and looking away from the camera. The worst profile picture a man can post is one where he's on vacation, while making a "flirty" face and looking away from the camera. And it actually doesn't make much difference if your profile picture shows your face or not.  In fact, posting a photo that's unusual, sexy or mysterious can actually generate more interest than if you post a photo that shows your face.

She's single, not eleven. #4.)  DON'T QUESTION HER SEXUALITY.   Just because she's single doesn't mean she's a lesbian.  Kind of like how being married doesn't necessarily mean you're straight, gaywad.   #5.)  DON'T BE JUDGMENTAL.   Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, so don't pretend you're better than she is just because you have a ring on your finger.  She doesn't want to end up in a bad marriage, which is probably one of the reasons she's still single. #6.)  DON'T RUB IT IN.   There's a random statistic floating around the internet that goes like this:  women over 40 have a better chance of being shot by a terrorist than making it to the altar.  Obviously, that's not true.  And it's especially not true these days, when even senior citizens are meeting on the Internet.  See?  I just 'rubbed it in.'  That was bad.  Don't do that. #7.)  DON'T REMIND HER SHE'S RUNNING OUT OF TIME.   She's knows how her body works, and she's aware she won't be able to have kids forever.  Telling her that a 74-year-old Ukrainian woman miraculously gave birth to triplets won't make her feel any better. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">DANCING MIKE TYSON <center><object height="340" width="400"> <param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/srLQyf2alV4&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" name="movie" /> <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen" /> <param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess" /><embed height="340" width="400" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/srLQyf2alV4&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></embed></object></center> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC  <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mix941.fm/pages/820389.php">CLICK HERE for more notes, photos and fun</a>.

Time to pop up those hoodies …Fall Out Boy is breaking up.   A new study says that an hour of sunlight can provide a 69% jump in testosterone levels in men.  Based on this Mark and I see an average increase of 483% per week. It’s been awhile, but this morning we had another “Tale from a Latino Childhood.” Mercedes told us how her father, in order to increase speed, would coat the bottom of her sled with cooking oil. This increase in speed would cause Mercedes to crash into trees. This morning we debated if Mercedes’ husband, Matt, has a third nipple or  if it’s just a mole.

Blair’s nickname “Flozell” is so last week. She’s now known as Blair “The Armadillo” Davies. She earned this nickname because of her ability to curl up in a ball and nap during our staff meetings. Our female listeners don’t have that much trust in our male listeners…. When asked if they would trust their man to take birth control pills the majority answered no! Because if you can’t trust a man to put the toilet seat down or brush his teeth how can you trust him to take a birth control pill? A good sign that you need to question your taste in movies is if you have seen more of the Razzie nominees than the Oscar Nominees. Guys, two things we learned today.  9 times out of 10 when a woman does the “Breast Brush” this usually means she wants you.   And Men should NEVER admit that they go to a stylist (you should say you go to a barber.) Blair and Mercedes’ husband have something in common. As kids they were both made fun of because of their hair. Matt was called Alfalfa because of his cowlick and Blair was called “Pyramid Hair Blair.” The Kids called Mark DiStinko and Mercedes was made fun of because she wore flood pants.

Scientists using a robot have found that the way dogs use their tails is more subtle than we thought and that dogs that wag them to the left may be more friendly. The animal psychologists noticed that when real dogs approached a life-sized black Labrador with a mechanical tail, they were less wary of it when it was wagging its tail on the left side of its body. When the robot's tale wagged to the right side, fewer dogs approached it in a confident manner. More than 500 dogs were filmed as they approached the model in a public park. In the first batch of the experiments, 56 per cent of the animals approached the model without hesitation when the tail was wagged to the left, but only 21 per cent had such a direct approach when it went to the right. When the researchers excluded incidents where owners were present and may have influenced the behavior of their pets, the results were similar: 41 per cent of the dogs approached continuously when the tail was wagging to the left, while only 28 per cent did so when it was on the right. (The researchers said they did not know whether the dogs' behavior was the result of experience or an inherited predisposition.)

Yep! Moms were enjoying school-time flings behind their partner's back. They used the time when their children were at school to meet a lover - often using their own homes for liaisons. Over half of mothers surveyed were regularly late at the school gates.

She became the first woman in Grammy history to win six awards.  Zac Efron also made history… he was the first cast member of High Musical to win a Grammy.  Yes, the Zac Efron Band won Best New Artist.   Most parents would have an issue with loaning their kids teacher some money,  but they would have not have a problem loaning them some honey. We talked about cheesy job perks that guys use to impress women.   There is a TV Anchor in town that will wink on camera for certain women.   Anytime you hear Mark clear his throat he is doing so for some hottie he met over the weekend.  And anytime we play Daughtry we are doing for a girl that our music director just met (he meets a lot of girls). Mark is a fan of female exterminators.   And I am NOT a fan of female pilots.  It takes them way too long to Parallel Park the plane. We talked about the 15 most influential movie soundtracks... coming in at # 1 is "Saturday Night Fever."   Mark is a fan of the Rocky 4 Soundtrack... his favorite song is “No Easy Way Out” by Robert Tepper. That song is used in the scene when Rocky is driving in and out of the tunnels of Philadelphia contemplating his future.  I would like to point out one movie flaw here… there is only 1 tunnel in Philadelphia. Finally, Mark had an awkward moment when in our meeting last week he asked someone how their wedding was… seems’ innocent enough….  But apparently the person has been in a very rocky relationship….. so awkwardness ensued.   But nothing will compare to Mark’s encounter with KC and the Sunshine band. <object height="24" width="220" id="audioplayer1" data="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param value="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" name="movie" /> <param value="soundFile=http://podcast.mix941.fm/kmxb2/2194674.MP3" name="FlashVars" /> <param value="high" name="quality" /> <param value="false" name="menu" /> <param value="transparent" name="wmode" /></object> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Mon, 1 Feb 2010 09:49:00 EST FRIDAY JANUARY 29, 2010 <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">DAILY DIRT <img height="268" width="400" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Oprah_Jay_Leno.jpg" /> <a target="_blank" href="http://mix941.fm/pages/6238730.php">CLICK HERE </a>for today's entertainment news and celebrity gossip.

A guy named Alexander Milas is the editor of "Metal Hammer".  He says, quote: "2010 is a very special year in the annals of Heavy Metal history.  BLACK SABBATH came out with their debut 40 years ago next month.  It did seem like a great time to celebrate how huge this thing has become." Last week, Alexander and other heavy metal "followers" set up a Facebook page called "Heavy Metal for the 2011 Census."  In just one week, it's already got 10,000 fans.   SOURCE:  Toronto Sun / Asylum. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">ANNOUNCING: THE END OF THE MID-LIFE CRISIS!!

He says that life really begins at 40 and people should start thinking in terms of "mid-life transition" rather than "mid-life crisis.” He says at 40 all of our difficult decisions our behind us, we are free to start enjoying life and learn from our mistakes.

Health experts warn, this is an alarmingly high average for the general population.... (especially, since, many women don't drink at all). And according to the survey, one in five of all women was drinking more than 15 units a week - a rise of 17 per cent on 2008. The study (from England's Office for National Statistics) also found that the middle aged were much more likely to drink every day than younger people. Adults in managerial and professional households drank an average of 13.8 units a week in 2008 - the equivalent of six pints of beer or one and a half bottles of wine.

More women have ditched their blond highlights and traded them in for a more affordable brunette hairdo. With the economy the way it is, people can't afford highlight touch ups anymore. So stylists are doing a lot of "tint backs", which means people are going darker. Customers also end up saving money in the amount of time they spend maintaining the color of their hair. Blond hair needs to be colored every four to six weeks, but coloring brunette hair doesn't happen as frequently and it's also cheaper.

Billy Bob Thornton hates antiques so much he refuses to stay in a room with furniture from before 1950. This might be a rare phobia, but he’s not alone – more than 250,000 people in the U.S. alone apparently suffer from this fear of antiques. 2. Of all of the things that could traumatize Alfred Hitchcock – you know, showers, birds, mama’s boys – one of the things he hated most were eggs, specifically runny ones. 3. Christina Ricci cannot stand to be around house plants, which would be known as a form of botanophobia. She finds them dirty and shudders at the idea of watering one.  She says, “If I have to touch one, after already being repulsed by the fact that there is a plant indoors, then it just freaks me out.” 4. Tyra Banks has been scared of dolphins since she was about eight years old. She says, “I have dreams that I am in a pool and there are dolphins bumping me and I’m frightened." 5. Megan Fox hates paper.  Technically, she clarifies that this isn’t a phobia –it’s more like people who get the chills when they hear fingernails on a chalkboard. She says that sometimes she even has to have a cup of water nearby so she can thoroughly wet her finger before turning a page if she’s doing a lot of reading at once. 6. Do you guys remember Frankie from The Real World: San Diego? If you do, you probably remember her for her battle with cystic fibrosis (which she sadly lost in 2007) and not for her strange phobia: big boats. Really. The cameras were rolling on the roommates just standing around chatting when Frankie bolted for the bathroom, white as a ghost and thisclose to throwing up. Why? Because someone said “cruise ship.” 7. Matthew McConaughey is scared of revolving doors. And maybe also personal hygiene, because he says he hasn’t worn deodorant in 20 years. He claims he feels anxious about even getting near revolving doors, and he’s also scared of tunnels. While actually being in a tunnel doesn’t bother him, the point where you have to go underground to enter the tunnel does. 8. Nicole Kidman is what is known as a lepidopterophobe – a person who is terrified of butterflies. “It’s so bizarre”.... she told In Style magazine, “I’m not scared of snakes or spiders.” She said she once tried to overcome her fear of the colorful little guys by making herself go through the butterfly exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History, but just couldn’t make it through. As a little girl, she couldn’t even go in her yard when she got home from school if there was a butterfly sitting on the gate. 9. OPRAH once said, “My grandmother used to save it [used gum] in little rows in the cabinet. I’d be scared to touch it because it was so gross, so I have a thing about gum. One guest in my home sat at the dinner table, took out some gum from her mouth and put it on her plate — after she left, I threw the plate out.” 10. What does Madonna have in common with a dog? They’re both afraid of thunder. BONUS: Johny Depp has a fear of clowns (which is somewhat common). The movie hunk sayd, “There’s something about the painted face and the fake smile. There seems to be a darkness lurking under the surface, a potential for real evil”. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">10 THINGS FROM YOUR TWENTIES YOU'LL REGRET WHEN YOU'RE FORTY <img height="174" width="140" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/badcredit1.jpg" /> <a target="_blank" href="http://coedmagazine.com/2009/11/27/10-things-from-your-twenties-youll-regret-when-youre-forty/">CLICK HERE</a> for the list. -------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mix941.fm/pages/820389.php">CLICK HERE for more notes, videos, and fun.</a> Last week Mark had an issue with his watch.

Mercedes pointed out that the “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” section of Amazon.com can be pretty revealing.  For example I recently bought Bruce Jenner’s Book “Finding the Champion Within” and Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought  -  “The Smart Woman's Guide to Plastic Surgery.” Finally, we asked which city has the worst local news?  One listener said it was the Fox affiliate in San Diego… they will often have a goat do their weather.   But the winner has to be this weatherman in Boston: <object height="24" width="220" id="audioplayer1" data="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param value="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" name="movie" /> <param value="soundFile=http://podcast.mix941.fm/kmxb2/2188584.MP3" name="FlashVars" /> <param value="high" name="quality" /> <param value="false" name="menu" /> <param value="transparent" name="wmode" /></object> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:42:00 EST WEDNESDAY JANUARY 27, 2010 <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">DAILY DIRT <img height="310" width="400" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Behar%20feued.jpg" /> <a target="_blank" href="http://mix941.fm/pages/6217973.php">CLICK HERE</a> for today's entertainment news and celebrity gossip.

Research found that college-educated women who are unmarried at age 40 are twice as likely to marry in the next 10 years as unmarried 40-year-olds with just a high school degree. Among 40-year-old white women who had never married in 1990, 20% of the college graduates went on to marry within 10 years, compared to just 10% of those with a high school degree. And women who drop out of high school are the least likely to marry. Plus, educated women are also more likely to report being happy in their marriages than less educated women.

HOW ABOUT 150? According to professor at Oxford University...  no matter how many people you've "friended" on Facebook, the human brain is only capable of handling a maximum of 150 actual friendships. Our ability to only handle 150 friendships has been the same throughout history and among different societies. He said: "The interesting thing is that you can have 1500 friends online but when you actually look at traffic on sites, you see people maintain the same inner circle of around 150 people that we observe in the real world." The professor found that the brain's neocortex only lets humans manage 150 friends no matter how many people they are in touch with. The neocortex processes language and conscious thought. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mix941.fm/pages/820389.php">CLICK HERE for more notes, fun, photos and videos. </a> You know it’s time to get a new doctor when you arrive for your 3:30 p.m. appointment and they don’t see you till 5:30 p.m. Last night I had healthy Chicken Nuggets.

We talked about commercials that freak us out.  For me it is the new Walmart clown commercial and for one listener it is the old Quizno’s Subs Sponge Monkeys commercial.  But if you mix the two together its music to your ears. The radio station was overcome with  Pink Eye Paranoia after Marks announcement that he has Pink Eye. The only one that showed Mark any compassion was Blair.  She told us that she has never seen anyone with Pink Eye.  So over the past year we have learned that Blair has never seen Pink Eye and she has never seen a Piñata.   Yesterday Mark helped her cross one of those items off her list. When people tell me I look like my mom I do not get insulted, but I think my mom gets insulted when people tell her that if she grew a goatee she could be my twin. If you are not a girl, but not yet a woman then you are a Blair.

Mark said he knew he was really sick when he found himself watching a marathon of “The Jersey Shore.” This morning we had to fill Mark in on a few things he missed last week,  like how Blair earned her new nickname “Flozell.” Mercedes can remember a person’s name but not their face.  So she often finds herself reintroducing herself to people she has already met.  Mark has a simple solution for Mercedes. Instead of saying “nice to meet you” she needs to go with “good to see you.” Mercedes was such a fan of the 90’s RB group Another Bad Creation that she was willing to go jail over them.  You see Mercedes attempted to steal ABC’s  cassingle of “iEsha.”  And if you have no idea what a cassingle is please don’t ask…. you will make us feel very old! Talk about a Cyber Stab in the heart…. Matt was dumped by TWO of his cousins on Facebook.  But these two cousins have kept their Facebook relationship with Mercedes. We talked about encounters with naked people at work.  Turns out more than one hotel employee here in town has had a run in with a naked Steve Guttenberg.   And we learned that Guttneberg is well endowed! We also learned that a “house squatter” may not be someone who is living in a vacant house…. it could also be someone that is relieving themselves in the backyard of a vacant house.   Mark said he would like to punch Joe Buck in the face.  Mercedes and I would like to punch an 82 year-old-women in the face (but our violence is justified… this 82 year old con kept stealing our prizes from our radio stations event on Saturday).   Finally, if you missed it on Friday we each had to do monologs on the show.  Mercedes came in third place but I think she redeemed herself with this gem this morning: <object height="24" width="220" id="audioplayer1" data="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param value="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" name="movie" /> <param value="soundFile=http://podcast.mix941.fm/kmxb2/2182023.MP3" name="FlashVars" /> <param value="high" name="quality" /> <param value="false" name="menu" /> <param value="transparent" name="wmode" /></object> ------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Mon, 25 Jan 2010 09:37:00 EST THURSDAY JANUARY 21, 2010 <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">TV'S MOST IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS <img height="191" width="297" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Friends.jpg" /> From CollegeCandy.com There are some things you learn in life (and in textbooks) that you never forget.We went to the moon in 1969.Plants live by converting sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.Cows have four stomachs. All of those things are important to know if you want to pass that middle school test, but when it comes to the real stuff – the life lessons – textbooks don’t hold a candle to TV. Yes, I’m serious. TV – even the crappiest of the crappy reality shows – has taught me some invaluable lessons about life and the world. Things you can’t get from a 2 hour Intro to Biology lecture or a 4-credit History of English course. Below are a few of the greatest lessons I’ve learned from my nights spent on the couch, chips and salsa in hand. One Tree Hill taught me: Never get married at 16, never shoot your brother, and never hire a hot nanny. The Office taught me: Sometimes our superiors are inferior and we just have to deal with it. One Big Happy Family taught me: It’s possible to be fat and happy, as long as you don’t mind breaking a chair on national television. Lost taught me: When you encounter a hatch, creepy cabin, or force field, do not go inside. Friday Night Lights taught me: Explosions In The Sky always sets the mood… for football games, and for, uh, other things as well. The Bachelor taught me: Pretty girls are crazy. Desperate Housewives taught me: No one is off limits; not even your plumber, ex-husband, or neighbor. How I Met Your Mother taught me: Awesome X Awesome = Awesome Squared. The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson taught me: Things always sound dirtier when you say them in a British accent. “Would you like a banana?” (See??) Late Show with David Letterman taught me: Never sleep with someone you work with… unless you’re a late night talk show host. The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien taught me: NBC sucks. Real World taught me: Being a stereotype will actually get you far in life. If being on a reality show is considered “far.” Friends taught me: “We were on a break” is not a valid excuse for anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC <a href="http://www.mix941.fm/pages/820389.php" target="_blank">CLICK HERE for more notes and chaos. </a> We compared the show to that of a pro football team.  Mark is the QB, when he is out I step in as the back up. Mercedes is the All Pro running back, all I have to do is get her the ball and she does the rest.  And Blair is an offensive lineman When she is out the audience at home might not know she is missing but the rest of the team does.   From this point forward Blair will be called Flozell, as in Flozell Adams the starting offensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys. Mercedes is having issues with people inviting themselves to her daughters 6th birthday party…. I am waiting till the 18th party to invite myself (that sounds very perverted). We talked about TV’s Life Lessons. These are lessons you learned from watching TV shows. For example,  when a woman drops her purse nothing but trouble will come rolling out. Are men the new women? Or are women the new men?  Or are we all becoming eunuchs? That was the question this morning. Mercedes is a huge fan of the Chillow.  This device keeps your pillow cold at night.

Going green seems to be driving them apart. Friends or family members who are not devoted to the environmental cause can become irritated by life choices they consider to be self-righteous or politically correct. The reason green issues can seem so contentious is that they are morally charged. Therefore, the green lines are going up in homes across the country as to who uses reusable bags, who buys organic eggs, and who calculates his or her carbon footprint. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mnn.com/family/education-activities/stories/going-green-tearing-your-family-apart">CLICK HERE</a> for details. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">HEIDI MONTAG HAD 10 PLASTIC SURGERIES IN ONE DAY AND SHE WANTS MORE <img height="289" width="400" align="bottom" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Montag%202.jpg" alt="" /> As you've probably heard by now, reality "star" HEIDI MONTAG had 10 plastic surgery procedures done . . . in ONE DAY. She had the work done in November, and she's been hiding ever since.  But she finally showed her new face and body to the public yesterday. And, unbelievably, she said she's NOT addicted to plastic surgery.  The "proof", she says, is that she had her nose and chest done once before, in 2007.  But then she didn't have ANY work done for another three years. She says, quote, "If you're addicted to something, you have to do it all the time, not once every couple years, if even." The procedures Heidi got were:  A mini brow lift, Botox in her forehead, a fix of her nose job, fat injections in cheeks and lips, chin reduction, neck liposuction, ears pinned back, a second boob job, liposuction on her waist and thighs and butt-cheek implants. As for how she feels about her new look, Heidi says, quote, "I think I just look like a different, improved version of myself."  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">NEW SOFTWARE HELPS YOU DISAPPEAR FROM FACEBOOK AND TWITTER... PERMANENTLY For folks who want to disappear from Facebook or Twitter, there's a program called Web 2.0 Suicide Machine. The software eliminates your entire online presence from the social networks. Since it came out in December, Suicide Machine has led to more than 1,000 virtual deaths. That means the program killed off 80,500 friendships on Facebook and 276,000 tweets from Twitter. The process starts when you hand over your log-in details and click Commit. The program will delete your info, Twitter tweets, MySpace contacts, Facebook friends and LinkedIn connections. Those are things people can do manually but what stays is a "cyberskeleton" or a profile with no data. But there's one thing people have to remember: resurrection is impossible. Once you use the program, you can never have your profile back. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1954631,00.html?CNN=yes">CLICK HERE</a> for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">7 BEST MOVIE LINES TO USE ON WOMEN <img height="200" width="200" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Jerry%20MaGuire.jpg" /> From DateDaily.com Some of the best lines come from movies, where each word is carefully thought out and delivered to a tee by some of the sexiest characters around (okay, maybe Austin Powers is a bit of a stretch). If you want to keep her coming back for more, use some of the best movies lines. Just remember; it’s all about delivery. #1“Every woman is a mystery to be solved.” Don Juan DeMarco (1995) When it works: While in deep conversation, in a romantic, low-lit (read: magical) setting. You have to be as slick as Don Juan to pull this off, but if you have the confidence, go for it. It has the potential to turn that special lady into putty in your hands. Why it works: What girl doesn’t love the idea of someone trying to figure her out? Telling her that you want to solve the mystery that she is will send chills down her spine and further pique her interest in you. #2“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Gone With the Wind (1939) When it works: If she’s playing games or being moody or indecisive. Refrain from using it in public! Why it works: It’s the law of attraction; the moment she feels like you are losing interest or care less than she does, she is bound to be even more attracted to you. The moment you take charge, she’ll hand over control. #3 “You complete me.” Jerry Maguire (1996) When it works: If you’re trying to get more serious during a relationship talk, although there’s a good chance she might burst out laughing. Try not to be cheesy like Tom Cruise though. You have to tell her what you mean and why. Why it works: Every girl wants to know she’s the missing piece to your puzzle. Making sure she knows how big an impact she has on your life will only benefit the relationship. #4 “Do I make you horny, baby?” Austin Powers (1997) When it works: In a very relaxed, playful setting or while out at a party. Delivery is key – you have to be funny and charming at the same time. Why it works: Women are used to being told how beautiful they are and how much guys want them. Breaking the mould by talking about yourself and showing her how confident you are with an Austin Powers line is guaranteed to get her attention. #5 “When they ask me what I liked best, I’ll say it was you.” City of Angels (1998) When it works: This is a great summer fling line. If you’re saying goodbye for a while and want to keep her mind on you, these words will do the trick. Best used near water and a setting sun. Why it works: Hearing you say she was the best part of your summer will make her melt. After hearing this phrase, she’ll never let you say goodbye. And hopefully, that’s a good thing! #6 “What I really want to do with my life – what I want to do for a living – is I want to be with your daughter. I’m good at it.” Say Anything (1989) When it works: Okay, so this line isn’t directed at your lady, it’s directed at her mom or dad. But it will have enormous impact on what they – and she – think of you. Save it for when you want to get serious and want her parents’ permission. Why it works: You’re not only flattering her, you’re flattering your parents. And flattery will get you everywhere. #7 “All women are wonders because they reduce all men to the obvious.” Out of the Past (1947) When it works: When trying to get her into bed. If you think you can pull this playboy line off, go for it. For the less advanced, I suggest making it singular (i.e. you’re a wonder; you reduce me to the obvious). Why it works: Ladies want to know how much of an effect they can have on men; everyone needs their ego stroked once in a while. Telling her she excites you will excite her, both in bed and out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">ASK THE PLASTIC SURGEON <img height="51" width="387" align="bottom" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Dr%20Higgins.jpg" alt="" /> Thank you to Dr. Higgins for coming on the show today.   <a href="http://natureredefined.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE </a>to view his website. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">FIVE TIMES WHEN WOMEN SHOULDN'T TEXT MEN According to "Cosmopolitan", guys hate it when women write long, descriptive texts.  So, to keep you ladies from ruining your relationship with bad texting habits, here's Cosmo's list of the five times women should NEVER text men: #1.)  AFTER YOUR FIRST FEW DATES.   You're not supposed to call right away, and you shouldn't text either.  It could scare him off. #2.)  WHEN YOU'RE DRUNK.   You'll either gush about how much you love him . . . which is a red flag for some guys.  Or you'll tell him how much you hate him . . . which is never good. #3.)  WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY.   If you put something in writing, it's a lot harder to take it back later.  So fight face-to-face, not over text. #4.)  WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO BE SARCASTIC.   Sarcasm doesn't come across very well in text messages.  Without hearing your tone of voice, he might think you're being serious. #5.)  AFTER YOU JUST SENT HIM A TEXT.   Guys like brief updates, not a blow-by-blow of your entire day.  It's easy to get addicted to text messaging, and there's nothing wrong with using it to stay in touch. But when you text each other too much, it discourages phone conversations and one-on-one time, which can hurt your relationship in the long run.

The FDA is going to be debating how to crack down on tanning beds. Especially with a scientific consensus that says there's no such thing as a safe tan. The World Health Organization's cancer division listed tanning beds as definite cancer-causers. A study found that the risk of melanoma jumps by 75 percent in people who used tanning beds in their teens and 20s. Tanning beds do have some warnings about the cancer link, but the FDA says those labels aren't visible enough and don't fully convey the risk, especially to young people. In March, the FDA is going to look at stricter tanning bed regulation.

I remember as a kid I got so jealous when my neighbors got a pool… it ate me up inside.  I can’t even begin to imagine the jealous rage I would have had the day Mark’s family got their very own tanning bed. Best childhood ever! It turns out that a lot of women dress up for certain professions.  When Mercedes was a receptionist for attorney Martin Brown she would always get dressed up for the Airborne Express guy.  And all women get dressed up and cleaned up for the OBGYN. Mercedes revealed that she has a lone nipple hair.   Finally, at first we thought it was men that spoke harshly to kid… but after some calls we realized that both parents tend to be harsh.  However, the harshest of them all maybe Mercedes’ husband Matt … take a listen to these examples.   <object height="24" width="220" id="audioplayer1" data="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param value="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" name="movie" /> <param value="soundFile=http://podcast.mix941.fm/kmxb2/2170748.MP3" name="FlashVars" /> <param value="high" name="quality" /> <param value="false" name="menu" /> <param value="transparent" name="wmode" /></object> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Tue, 19 Jan 2010 09:54:00 EST FRIDAY JANUARY 15, 2010 <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">DAILY DIRT <img height="211" width="300" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Jay%20Leno%20and%20Conan.jpg" /> <a target="_blank" href="http://mix941.fm/pages/6126588.php">CLICK HERE</a> for today's entertainment news and celebrity gossip.

Suddenly we had a whole new decade to make knowing references to with a wistful look in our eye. Furthermore, while those "You Might Be a Child of the '80s If ..." and "You Know You're a '90s Kid If ..." memes demonstrated that everybody loves this sort of thing, we realized that if we did a list for the '00s only days after the decade ended, then pretty much everyone alive would get at least a few of the references, making ours even better. For those who, like us, secretly get nostalgic for things that happened five minutes ago, Asylum has assembled a list of things sure to get you nodding your head and saying, "Yep, that sure did happen in the past 10 years."

Our daughter Riley is 3 and also has had time to adjust these last couple of months.  Of course, she  doesn't quite comprehend the situation fully.  The services these following days will help both of us have some closure.   I have been overwhelmed with all the support of my friends and family.  I have met some extraordinary people in my life and am so thankful.  Reading my story on the air yesterday was very uplifting and I thank Holly and you for that.   Thank you to your listeners who also felt for my family and I can't express enough of my appreciation.   Sincerely, Jon --------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Fri, 8 Jan 2010 11:46:00 EST THURSDAY JANUARY 14, 2010 <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">HEIDI MONTAG HAS HAD 10 PLASTIC SURGERY PROCEDURES <img height="250" width="185" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/Heidi%20Montagx%20People.jpg" /> On the new People cover, out Friday, Heidi Montag is saying she had 10 cosmetic surgery procedures in one day. They are: 1. mini brow lift 2. botox 3.  nose job revision 4. fat injections in the cheeks 5. chin reduction 6. neck liposcution 7. ears pinned back 8. breast augmentation revision 9. liposuction on waist, hips, thighs 10. buttock augmentation. All of the above, done in 10 hours (back in November). The 23 year-old reality show star says, "We all want to feel attractive. So who is anyone to judge me?" As for why, exactly, she did it? She says, "I would say the reason is to feel better, to feel perfect." She admits: "I am obsessed with plastic surgery and with maintaining my looks." Source FALSE ALARM AT HER HOME: Her Boobs Did NOT Burst... And She Wasn't Kidnapped When Heidi Montag walked into her house yesterday with her face concealed, police were called about a possible kidnapping. Cops briefly detained one of husband Spencer Pratt's employees. Eventually, the misunderstanding was all cleared up. Heidi says, "We're grateful this was only a false alarm and I just had my pink Hermes scarf over me. A neighbor was concerned and called the police. We're thankful to the LAPD for their response and making sure we were safe." --------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">10 FICTIONAL SPORTING EVENTS WE'D PAY GOOD MONEY TO ATTEND <img height="158" width="300" align="bottom" alt="" src="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/kmxb2/UserFiles/Image/markmercedes/FIctional%20Sporting%20Event.jpg" /> <a target="_blank" href="http://funnycrave.com/10-fictional-sporting-events-wed-pay-good-money-to-attend/7847/">CLICK HERE</a> for the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;">FASHION TRENDS MEN HATE SEEING ON WOMEN   Uggs: Duh: Fifty-seven percent of dudes rated these the most hated item of clothing ever. We get it. Huge clompy boots that look like they were made for cartoon characters aren't attractive. Next. Neon Anything: So random, but a whopping 73 percent thought the recent neon fashion trend moment blew the hugest chunks ever. Weird. Leggings: This stat kind of cracks us up: "Just over half of the men disliked the fashion phenomenon of Jeggings (leggings-jeans). Just 21% liked the look, while a third didn't even know what they were." Ignorance is bliss? Too Much Makeup: While 68 percent of men said they were anti too much war paint, 20 percent said some makeup was better than none at all. Alrighty then. Good to know. Leg Warmers: We were a little surprised to read that leg warmers were dissed by 30 percent. Interesting. They seem kind of cute and sexy to us. Harem Pants, Obviously: Thirty-eight percent of men said "Hell no" to harem pants. Yeeahhh, nothing's shocking there. Crappy Tattoos: When it comes to ink, 44 percent of men weren't feeling the idea of tattoos on women because they thought either the designs sucked or were tacky. On the other hand, a third of the men liked tattoos and 23 percent said they could take 'em or leave 'em. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mix941.fm/pages/820389.php">CLICK HERE for more notes, photos, puzzles and fun.</a> I wish I could recap what we did from 5:45 a.m. to 7:10 a.m. this morning but I was tied up dealing with a dead phone issue and a dead satellite connection to Sacramento.  Good times. Mercedes said she would rather see a man in Underoos  than see a man in a pair of tighty whities. We talked about the “10 Fictional Sporting Events We’d Pay Good Money to Attend.”   Mark would like to see the final fight in Rocky IV and Mercedes would like to see the  “All Valley Karate Tournament” in the Karate Kid. The stand out on American Idol last night was General Larry Platt and his original song "Pants On The Ground."  Simon predicted that the song could be a single. Well Simon -  here it is, the World premiere of “Pants on The Ground.”   If you are reading an article and see [SIC] this stands for SPELLING IS CORRECT (Something you will never see here in Producers Notes.) Most people have a big birthday when they turn 40.   Not us, we are going to have a huge party when Mark turns 39 this year.  Because let’s face it,  turning 40 is pretty depressing. The closest Mercedes ever came to being in a fight was when she was a teen and she crossed the path of the wrong girls at the Fun Plex.   I don’t know about you, but the one fight I want to see (The War to Settle the Score)  is Mercedes vs. Blair! Finally,  it turns out we all have  a family member that insults us.  For Blair it was her great grandmother, for Mercedes it is her Uncle Frank and for me it is….. well who we kidding?  I am the family member dishing the insults. <object height="24" width="220" id="audioplayer1" data="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param value="http://imgsrv.mix941.fm/image/single_flash_player/audio_player.swf" name="movie" /> <param value="soundFile=http://podcast.mix941.fm/kmxb2/2161444.MP3" name="FlashVars" /> <param value="high" name="quality" /> <param value="false" name="menu" /> <param value="transparent" name="wmode" /></object> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------</td> </tr>
