Review Summary
4 stars
Exceptional! INCEPTION is by far one puzzling whirlwind mind teaser of a movie. It’s the kind of movie you should see twice in order to truly appreciate the enticing combinations of all things cinema because it’s in the second time around that you’ll be able to see more of the pieces of this puzzling plot come together. Believe me this is one thrilling, action-packed, intelligent, suspenseful film. Just the movie spectacles alone are an absolute masterpiece and worth the price of admission as they greatly influence the structure and meaning of the film. And, if you enjoyed Salt you’ll definitely enjoy this one as well.

Highlights of Today’s Show...
Interview with Dr. Nicholas Ruiz III and Natalie Rogers

Orlando, FL — YSL’s host Jose Miranda returns and pushes forward to discuss a hot button topic, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — an Amendment which not only guarantees American citizenship to any child born within our country’s bounders but has also been attached to our civil rights and other court cases.

Suddenly the airwaves seem alive with deep and intense discussions as callers present their point of view to Miranda. As the conversation got more heated, Miranda who allowed everyone to share their concerns stated its ok to disagree. However, if we allow the repeal of the 14th Amendment to include immigration then what’s next? What exacting are we advocating?

Next, Jose introduces Dr. Nicholas Ruiz III, green party candidate for Congress in Florida’s District 24. Ruiz who is listed as the green write-in candidate believes that progressive leaders are needed in Congress. Is he the new wave of American progress?

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the August 24th primary elections. To reach out to Dr. Ruiz or to contribute to his campaign, please visit his website at intertheory.org.

And of course this week was Scribbles’ Corner. Visiting YSL was the Program Director of Florida BookPALS, Ms. Natalie Rogers and our very own Scribbler, Darlyn Finch.

Rogers, who knows the importance of encouraging a child to read and write on their own, goes on to say when we open a child’s eyes to other possibilities it awakens their imaginations. Giving them new hopes to dream and succeed, while developing within them a greater love and appreciation of literature, especially in children where English is a second language.

This is an out-reach program and volunteers are always in need. If you would like to help, you can reach out to Natalie Rogers at nrogers@sagfoundation.org or you can go to Facebook search for Florida BookPALS & PencilPALS and invite her to be a friend.

Fashion...
A Return to the 50s!
August 14, 2010
This fall you’re going to see crimson lips, corsets, and those up-to-there hemlines replaced by longer, more demure lengths, up to the calf.

The emphasis will be in prints, so don’t be afraid to use them liberally this season. Consider coordinating headbands and blouses, striped halters and corsets, black and white polka-dots and square prints, with a nautical-inspired take on the trend, like the nautical navy dress with white piping for a more fun and flirty look.

Also, think scarves tied at the neck for a more subtle fifties accent. No ladies I am pleased to announce that the poodle skirts are not making a come back but you’ll be seeing a great deal of the sheer organza fabric which adds to the appeal of this style. And, make sure your shoes tie at the ankles to complete your ensemble. Do accessorize those floral print dresses with a wide patent leather belt to build up the look.

However, lip colorings are more crimson this season. Don’t be afraid to go really red. Hairstyles, in keeping with the 50s flair and grace, will be more of the retro inspired look. Overall, I think the best way to describe this season's 50s fashion sense is to have you revisit the reruns of the I love Lucy Show, which was quite popular then and should give you a better image of hair, fashion, and accessories. The look is super fun and will make you feel fabulously sexy while producing those dramatic changes in your silhouette.

Mmmm Recipe...
Grilled BBQ Pork Ribs
This Grilled BBQ Pork Rib Recipe is a mix of different influences — a bit of Mexican flair with jalapenos and lime, combined with a bit of Thai flavor with the addition of peanuts and garlic. By using a marinade that's more of a paste in consistency, it both infuses the ribs with delicious flavor, and also really sticks to the meat.

With the marinade's sophisticated flavor, a lighter bodied red is best, while one that also has a good core of acidity will counterbalance the richness of the ribs. Beaujolais is an ideal choice, with a sunny freshness great with summer grilled foods. Choose a Cru Beaujolais from the Juliénas village.

WINE Suggestion:
2005 Domaine Pascal Granger Juliénas, Beaujolais — This Cru Beaujolais shows the varietals classic sour cherry flavor with a lively tartness. ($16)

"Steal"
2008 Louis Latour Beaujolais-Villages, "Chameroy" — more ripe and suave than the Juliénas, this is sure to please almost any palate. ($10)

Yields: 6 servings • Total Cook Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes

Ingredients:
2 lbs country-style pork ribs
2 jalapenos
1 cup of peanuts
2 large shallots
1 clove of garlic
1 lime

Directions:
Remove peel from shallots and garlic. Juice from lime, and remove stem from jalapenos.

Add peanuts, jalapenos, garlic, shallots and lime juice to a food processor or blender and mix until it forms a nice paste.

Season ribs generously with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and spread paste evenly on all sides of ribs. Refrigerate ribs for 1 hour to let the flavors sink in.

Prepare grill - if using a charcoal grill, shift heated coals to one side of the grill.

Cook ribs for one minute on each side on the hottest part of the grill - either over the coals or on the lowest rack of the gas grill.

Move ribs to the cooler side of the grill or a higher rack to finish. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes.

Serve with a squeeze of lime and enjoy!

Health....
Can Coffee Ward Off Cancer?
Drinking more than four cups of coffee may lower the risk of some head and neck cancers, according to a new study.

Researchers found that regular coffee drinkers – those who drank more than four cups of coffee a day – had a 39 percent decreased risk of two types of head and neck cancer: oral cavity and pharynx cancers. Coffee did not decrease the risk of a third type of oral cancer – laryngeal cancer. They looked at nine existing studies and analyzed how much coffee was consumed by more than 5,000 cancer patients and about 9,000 healthy people.

While these results are encouraging, it doesn't mean we should just go out and start drinking lots of coffee, says Mia Hashibe, lead researcher and an assistant professor in the department of family and preventive medicine at the University of Utah.

Hashibe points out that the main risk factors for oral cancers are smoking and drinking alcohol. She says the best way to prevent getting these cancers is to not smoke or drink alcohol, rather than drinking lots of coffee. "We wouldn't want to be encouraging people to drink that much [coffee], without people considering the other risks factors," Hashibe says. "Each person needs to think about how they metabolize caffeine or coffee."

In the past, there’s been a perception that coffee may be bad for you, according to Dr. Donald Hensrud, chair of preventive medicine at the Mayo Clinic. But he says that newer studies suggest that drinking coffee may actually be good for you. "Like many things, the evidence changes over time," says Hensrud. He adds that when it comes to the link between coffee and head and neck cancer, "the benefits outweigh the risks and this is just one more piece of that puzzle that supports that."

It’s not exactly known why coffee may help prevent these cancers. But coffee contains over 1,000 different chemical compounds, including cancer-fighting antioxidants, and it’s those antioxidants that may provide a “plausible explanation” for reducing the cancer risk, says Hensrud.

Other recent studies suggest coffee may have beneficial effects in other diseases like dementia, diabetes, liver and Parkinson's disease. However, coffee alone may not be the answer according to some experts. Dr. Dong Shin, a head and neck specialist at Emory Winship Cancer Institute says this new study suggests “there is a hint of beneficial outcomes" with coffee and oral cancer. But he is concerned that the side effects of coffee are not addressed in this study. Shin says when it comes to preventing cancer, the combination approach is best. He suggests “consuming coffee, tea, veggies, and fruits rather than doing just one thing."

Hensrud adds that there are some drawbacks to drinking too much coffee, including liver damage or increased blood pressure. Other possible side effects from drinking a lot of coffee include insomnia, reflux, heartburn, palpitations, urinary systems and increased fluid intake, says Hensrud. He says coffee can also be addictive and some people may suffer from withdrawal headaches. Too much coffee may make it harder to conceive and can increase the risk of miscarriage.
