The Kansas City Star: Men of extinction: 28 mars
'Lumbering dinosaurs' like Steven Seagal are seeing their kind of action fade away.
"Schwarzenegger has no one to blame but himself," Internet movie guru Harry Knowles (aint-it-cool-news.com) says. "The reason his last few movies haven't done well is very simple - they were bad.
Had he made 'Crusade' or 'I Am Legend' or 'With Wings of Eagles' (three films stuck in development), he would be fine right now. But he won't defer his salary; he wants his money up front. So instead of making movies that will save his career, he keeps grinding out substandard films so he can cash the big paychecks."

Fitness-Magazine.com och PT Skolan tog saken i egna händer, vi beslöt oss därför att lotta ut en personlig tränare (PT) till en av vår läsare. Vinnaren blev Ulrika Persson:
Hur var din bild tidigare av en PT?
- Att de var övermänniskor. Hela bilden man får i massmedia av dessa stora killar och tjejer är ju helt fel. Min PT, Jeanette, är helt suverän, hon får mig att känna mig trygg och säker. Dessutom är det mycket roligare än vad jag trott. Träningen har i och med detta blivit otroligt effektiv och jag känner att den har gett resultat vilket sporrar en.

Eric Person, a producer at Cimarron Group Interactive, the Hollywood-based firm that created the official Web site for Schwarzenegger, said that after his company created Schwarzenegger.com, one of the company's technology experts went to the Terminator's home to set up a new computer for his wife, Maria Shriver.
Shriver's problem was that she simply didn't know where to plug all those confusing wires into the back of the computer, Person said.
Body Results: Shin Splints: Occurrence and Prevention:
Det är säkert fler än webbmastern som känner igen denna brännande pumpkänsla i framsidan av underbenen/vid skenbenen vid snabb gång...
It's fairly common to feel something akin to "shin splints" when you go speed walking. The repetitive dorsiflexion (lifting of the toes) in order to avoid dragging your feet requires a lot from the anterior tibialis (muscles in the front of your shins.)
At rest, there is no problem, but as soon as you exercise briskly, the muscles in the front of the shins become engorged with blood, causing pressure within the fascial walls (tissues that house the working muscles) which in turn can cause tightness, numbness or muscle weakness when muscles and nerves are compressed within the compartment (hence the term "compartment syndrome.").

Telegraph: The man who made Michael Jackson: 2 april
Steven Hoefflin, the favourite plastic surgeon of Hollywood celebrities:
"We age, not because muscle drops from the face, but because we lose fat in the face. Like a balloon collapsing, the skin falls down as we lose fat. If you take a face and simply stretch the skin back, you get only a very tight, collapsed face. What I do is re-establish the fatty pads and realign the angles of the face. You have to cut deep and make major changes, not superficial ones."
