Lottery Ticket
Review Summary
3 Stars
Kevin Carson played by Bow Wow wins $370 million in a nationwide lottery. Suddenly everyone in the hood discovers he has the winning ticket and now is forced to find ways to survive the greedy and intimidating actions of the people in the hood. Over a three-day holiday weekend no less before he can actually claim his prize.
And for anyone who grew up in the projects you’ll be able to relate too much of the stereotype that goes along with life in public housing. However, Ice Cube is the real surprise. He plays a picture perfect character of a senile old man complete with spectacles, false teeth and a graying beard. Just seeing him give a contemporary Shakespearean slant to his character is worth the ticket alone. The film is one delightfully funny “hood” comedy with heart.

Highlights of Today’s Show...
Interview with Danny Ramos and Keu Reyes
Orlando, FL — Today YSL’s host Jose Miranda opens with one lively animated, “Good Morning Viet Nam!” A little exuberant perhaps maybe even unorthodox, nonetheless it got everyone’s attention for you knew things were going to be shaken up a bit. With the phone lines opened, Miranda kicks off on a cool and swinging note, the Glenn Beck rally, which took place today on the anniversary of Dr. King’s 1963 march in Washington on the very spot where Dr. King recited his speech “I have A Dream”.
Beck insist he was reasserting the “civil rights” that Dr. King pursued during his life was this coincidence, a twist of fate, divine intervention or an exploitation to promote another agenda; and, let’s not forget the tea party’s darling Sarah Palin, a woman who marches to her own drummer. Immediately the phone lines were ringing and the conversation in the studio got somewhat heated. However, the reality of mixing both ideologies that of Dr. King to Glenn Beck and the Tea Party is about as compatible as night and day.
Changing strategies a bit Miranda turns to YSL’s co-host Haydee Ayala for a look into fashion and this week’s movie pick. Before engaging guest, Danny Ramos, CEO of the National Hispanic Corporate Achievers (a non-profit organization) into a conversation about the recently passed license plate which allows Florida drivers to express pride in their Hispanic heritage.
This specialty plate we’re told will be going into production soon and should become available to the many Latinos who live in Florida within the next two years. All profits from the tag would be split into administrative cost, local grants and the reminder used for scholarships and programs throughout the state. We as Latinos express our pride in our music, in our dance, in our culture so why not in unity, reserve your plate today! If you wish to reach out to Danny Ramos go to www.hispanicachievers.org.
Next, Jose introduces Keu Reyes, writer/director/producer/actor and comic for Latino 101. After an exchanged of pleasantries and maybe a brief conversation on what he thought about Beck’s rally, Miranda decides to give Keu a little good-natured ribbing before discussing the latest going ons with Latino 101, including this season guests beginning with Edward James Olmos and Cheech & Chong.
Latino 101 can be seen on SiTV every Friday at 9 p.m. You can reach out to Keu on LinkedIn and Facebook or simply drop him an email at keu@artisticwarfare.com.

Best Mascaras on the Market!
August 28, 2010
If you want the very best mascara that will make your lashes appear long, full and lush while never looking clumpy, or running onto your face, here are ten suggestions:
1. Best Overall Mascara: Lancôme Definicils
2. Best Volumizing Mascara: Prescriptives 'Lash Envy' Mascara for full plum lashes all day
3. The Celebrity Favorite Mascara: Bobbi Brown 'Everything'
4. Best Drugstore Buy: Maybelline Great Lash (best waterproof mascara on the market). It doesn't clump, lasts a long time and won't come off easily.
5. Best Multi-Talented Mascara: Revlon Luxurious Lengths Mascara. At $6.99 you get a lot for your money: A flat side that layers on gel-based color and a curved side that lifts and separates lashes.
6. Best Volume Mascara: Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara a must-have because it makes your eyes look super big.
7. Makeup Artist's Favorite Mascara: Maybelline XXL Volume + Length
8. Great Overall Budget Mascara: L'Oreal Voluminous — this mascara enhances with hair conditioners panthenol and cermide-R, this product is a must-have, no clumping.
9. Best for Super-Thick, Long Lashes: Lancôme Hypnose — the effect of this mascara is much like that of false eyelashes and a favorite.
10. The Hottest Mascara Trend of the Moment: Blinc's "Tube" Mascara because it creates tiny, water-resistant "tubes" around lashes, which makes them appear thicker and longer than lashes painted by common mascaras.
The Sports Section
Baseball – The Final Stretch by Anthony Gaenzle
For this week’s sports section we are going to shift the focus from football to baseball.
As the season approaches the final stretch, the race to make the playoffs is heating up. This week the focus is on the American league.
With four playoff spots available in the American league, it’s clear that Florida’s own Tampa Bay Rays and the N.Y. Yankees are well in control. Only one however, can win the automatic pennant spot by winning the division.
The other has to maintain their momentum and simply stay in the first spot of the wildcard race. Three American League teams get automatic spots by winning their division and the fourth spot is up for grabs in the form of a wildcard spot.
The Yankees and Rays are even up at 78 wins and 49 losses a piece, each a league best. The way it stands now they both look set to make the playoffs.
The Minnesota Twins lead the Chicago White Sox by 3 and a half games in the American League Central and the Texas Rangers are dominating the American League West, leading the Oakland A’s by 8 and a half games.
Next week we will shift the focus to the National League teams, covering the race between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves for the National League East and all the rest of the excitement. Stay tuned for that.

Mmmm Recipe...
Fun Appetizer! Steak Lettuce Wraps
Steak lettuce wraps are a fun appetizer to serve at a party because guests can construct them themselves, and are so simple to make you can also enjoy them any night of the week. Made from a lean but still flavor cut of beef - the top blade, or flat iron - this cut is flavorful and juicy still when quickly seared and is quite affordable. A tangy sauce made of lime and mint adds an exotic, fresh flavor.
You might think that the best wine pairing with any steak dish is always going to be a rich red, but with this preparation we find that a lively rosé is just right. Rosé will liven up the taste buds over appetizers, and has the bright acidity to work well with the citrus elements in the dish. Our 'steal' rosé is from the Northwest U.S., and our 'Splurge' is from one of our favorite parts of the world - Provence.
WINE Suggestion:
2009 Domaines Ott Les Domaniers, Côtes de Provence — From the reigning region of rosé - Provence. Classic, elegant and refreshing! ($19.99)
"Steal"
2009 Murphy's Law Rosé,Northwest U.S. — A blend of grapes from both Oregon and Washington states, using traditional Rhone varieties. ($12)
Yields: 8 servings • Total Cook Time: 15 minutes • Prep Time: 2-24 hours to marinade
Ingredients:
1 lb top blade steak (about 4 cuts)
1 head of Boston lettuce
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
6 clementines or other tangerines
2 limes
1 bunch fresh mint leaves
Directions:
1.) To prep the steaks, feel the area through the middle of the steak for a streak of tough connective tissue. Divide each steak cut in half along this area and trim it away. Season both sides with salt and fresh ground pepper.
2.) In a medium bowl, add juice from the clementines, with 1/4 cup vinegar and honey. Add steaks and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
3.) In a blender, mix juice from the limes, mint leaves, 1/4 cup vinegar and 2 tbsp olive oil. Make sure to season with salt and pepper to taste.
4.) Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and sear each steak about 1 minute on each side for medium rare. If you prefer more doneness, cook up to an extra minute on each side for well. Place meat on a fresh plate to rest for 5 minutes.
5.) After resting, slice steak into 1" strips. Wash and dry the lettuce, pulling apart individual leaves.
6.) Serve steak and lettuce leaves with mint sauce on the side. Your guests can make their own wraps by placing a steak strip in the center of a lettuce leaf, and dressing with sauce. Simply roll up and enjoy!

Enjoy Spot-Free Skin with this Dark Red Fruit!
Sun spots are right up there with wrinkles when it comes to the list of skin defects we'd all rather avoid. But keeping sun spots at bay may be as easy as munching on sweet, tangy pomegranate seeds.
Sunscreen is step one in avoiding sun spots. But according to Allison Tannis, author of Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles, nutrients found in deep ruby-red pomegranate seeds may hinder abnormal changes in skin color brought on by long-term sun exposure.
Pomegranate Protection
The main nutrient in question is Ellagic acid. But that's not all. The age-fighting antioxidants in pomegranates may be particularly skin-friendly as well. In fact, Tannis claims that the antioxidant capacity of pomegranates is so powerful that they're able to neutralize twice as many skin-damaging free radicals as red wine, and seven times as many free radicals as green tea.
Cool the Flames
Pomegranates are also loaded with anthocyanins — powerful inflammation-fighting antioxidants that give the pomegranate even more super-for-your-skin status. So pick up a pom, and pop out those seeds. Or save yourself the inconvenience by buying frozen or refrigerated packages of pre-extracted pomegranate seeds from the grocery store. They're great in cereal and oatmeal, on yogurt or salad, or just by the handful. Or simply buy some juice, and cool down with this thirst-quenching Hibiscus-Pomegranate Iced Tea recipe (for recipe go to realage.com.
