Movie Review:
HOP — Rating: 4.5 STARS
This movie was a lot of fun to see. Anyone 5 and up will enjoy the character of E.B. and the rest of the cast members. However, for teachers who are considering a field trip this movie should at the top of their list because it delivers a positive message about reaching your dreams and pursuing them.
Some of the characters do occasionally use words like "idiot," "stupid," and "freak;" also, there is some slapstick violence and perhaps one brief scene in which it appears like the Easter Bunny might be in trouble, but it's okay. As even the kids will be able to tell that everything will be just fine.
However, there is one scene in particular which I found quite amusing. E.B. tries to get into the Playboy mansion because he thinks it's a haven for bunny rabbits. Of course, only the adults in the audience will more than likely get the humor in this; and, for those of you who were wondering — nothing risqué is shown.
HOP is truly delightful and entertaining. And, for those of you who might be concerned about its contents, there is no reference to the holiday's religious meaning.

Highlights of Today’s Show...
April 2, 2011
Orlando, FL — YSL is an ever evolving program constantly challenging its host's Jose Miranda and Haydee Ayala as well as its listeners. This week wasn't any different! Our schedule guest regrettably could not make it. However, as always, YSL still had plenty on its plate. We discussed the hot movies out there for one to enjoy to this week’s movie review, and we spoke of the changing world we live in.
Of course YSL did reach out to Alan of Ol’ Times Smoke Shop, one of Jose's pass time pleasures. Even though time seemed to pass rather quickly we managed to focus on the 2012 potential presidential hopefuls from Michele Bachmann (R) to Sarah Palin (R) among a few others.
While there are many Republicans already looking to align themselves as candidates in the 2012 race, most are very, very similar in their line of attack. We need a leader who is not only a politician but has fresh ideas and can deal with other world leaders. Someone who has the ability of thinking outside the box and has done so but more importantly isn’t afraid to make a stand even if he stands alone.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints Miranda finished by reminding us to consider each candidate’s platform carefully. Take time to review their backgrounds look into their track records but do so without being swayed by commercials or speeches. However, in an effort to even the platform a little YSL has added another section to this week’s show, which was not covered in the program. Take a moment to read it. It is under the heading of Politics! and of course listen to the complete show in the archives
Fashion...
Key Looks in Men’s Suits for Spring 2011
April 2, 2011
Men’s suits never actually go out of style but they do improve over time. The same can not be said of most fashion trends. So what are the styles for 2011 spring/summer and more important will they be in fashion in 2012?
The two qualities that any modern suit should aim to have are classicism and masculinity. For example, in the classic part a good suit should have the best elements from peak eras of men’s suiting. The savvy confident look of the 30s and the skinny detailing cuts of the 60s — both looks should be applied to a modern silhouette. As for the masculinity of a suit that unfortunately is less easy to define because it’s all about the cut. The cut will either compliment the male physique, giving the wearer broader shoulders and a slim down waistline highlighting (or implying) an exercised body. In short, what you think as you have on that suit is going to be a key factor. The wearer should always feel like he cleans up well.
There are two cuts in a single breasted suit; and, both are dominant types — the first is a sleek cut which is a single breasted suit and the wearer prefers something of a toned down effect, never casual, but dresses up with restraint. The second is the confidence cut which may be slightly similar to the sleek cut. However, it features one key attribute that’s not consistent with the sleek cut. Instead of a slim to medium lapel this cut is all about peaked lapels and making it more than just a single breasted suit cut.
Next is the double breasted suits and sports coats which are back and I’m not speaking the boxy cut of yesterday. They are now designed to accent and to heighten the perfect masculine shape, I’m talking about the V-shaped, well-worked body. And, if you happened to possess a double breasted suit in your closet take it to your tailor to refresh and bring new life to it. You won’t be disappointed!

Mmmm Recipe...
Crunchy Asian Pea Salad with Honeyed Bacon
This salad typically includes crispy slices of Chinese sausage. However, an easy way to replace the sausage, which isn’t readily available, is to add thick slices of bacon brushed with a honey-soy mix and then baked in the oven until crunchy. Store-bought chile oil replaces homemade.
Serving: 4 Total Time: 30 min
Ingredients:
6 thick slices of maple-cured bacon (about 6 ounces)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
3 tablespoons pure olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon chile oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
½ pound snow peas, julienned
6 ounces snow pea shoots (8 cups)
2 tablespoons torn basil leaves
2 tablespoons torn mint leaves
Directions:
Preheat the broiler and position a rack 8 inches from the heat. Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce and five-spice powder and brush liberally over the bacon. Broil for 10 minutes, turning once, until the bacon slices are browned and crisp. Transfer the bacon to a work surface and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Let the bacon cool.
In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil with the lime juice, lime zest, fish sauce and chile oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the snow peas, pea shoots, basil, mint and bacon and toss. Serve right away.

What Causes Hives and Angioedema?
April 2, 2011
Hives and angioedema form when, in response to histamine, blood plasma leaks out of small blood vessels in the skin. Histamine is a chemical released from specialized cells along the skin's blood vessels.
Allergic reactions, chemicals in foods, insect stings, sunlight exposure, or medicines can all cause histamine release. Sometimes it's impossible to find out exactly why hives have formed.
There are several different types of hives and angioedema, including:
Acute urticaria and/or angiodema: Hives or swelling lasting less than six weeks. The most common causes are foods, medicines, latex, or infections. Insect bites and internal disease may also be responsible. The most common foods that cause hives are nuts, chocolate, fish, tomatoes, eggs, fresh berries, soy, wheat, and milk. Fresh foods cause hives more often than cooked foods. Certain food additives and preservatives may also be to blame. Medicines that can cause hives and angioedema include aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen), high blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors), or painkillers such as codeine.
Chronic urticaria and/or angioedema: Hives or swelling lasting more than six weeks. The cause of this type of hives is usually more difficult to identify than those causing acute urticaria and/or angioedema. The causes can be similar to those of acute urticaria but can also include autoimmunity, chronic infections, hormonal disorders, and malignancy.
Physical urticaria: Hives caused by direct physical stimulation of the skin — for example, cold, heat, sun exposure, vibration, pressure, sweating, and exercise. The hives usually occur right where the skin was stimulated and rarely appear anywhere else. Most of the hives appear within one hour after exposure.
Dermatographism: Hives that form after firmly stroking or scratching the skin. These hives can also occur along with other forms of urticaria.
Hereditary angioedema: This is painful swelling of tissue. It is passed on through families.

The Race for 2012 is on!
April 2, 2011
Since 2012 is rapidly upon us, it is up to us to be prepared so that we can make the best choice possible. Keep in mind there is going to be much said by way of ads, blogs, and media coverage. Therefore, YSL decided to take a fair look at the ups and downs of the U.S. business cycle (beyond the direct control of policymakers) during the last 40 years from 1961 through 2000.
Beginning 1961-1968, 1977-1980, 1993-2000, the United States had a Democrat as president which was only half of the time (1961-1968, 1977-80 and 1993-2000). Then there was a Republican president for the other twenty years (1969-1976 and 1981-1992).
Let’s look at the strength on both sides then review the last twenty years when either party held office. It would stand to reason that similar results within the two groups would have taken place. However, not so, there was a significant gain when a Democrat occupied the White House in each of the five categories below.
% Per Annum Democratic Republican Bush43
GDP Growth....4.1%............2.9%..........2.2%
Employment....2.9%............1.7%..........0.5%
CPI.................4.0%.............5.1%.........3.0%
DJIA...............8.1%..............6.5%.......0.9%
Dollar...........+0.8%..............-3.6%......-5.9%

In closing YSL came across a statement from “The Notes” as reported by Michael Falcone for ABC News which we would like to share with you.
The Republican National Committee also chimed by unveiling a new website and ad using the theme, “Hope Isn’t Hiring,” pinning the nation's nearly 9 percent unemployment rate, a growing national debt and rising gas prices on Obama.
These problems were not a result of a 4-year term but one that was in fact generated by the predecessors of this esteem office.
