Big Opening Day for Beyonce. $28 million Obsessed knocks out the rest

Beyonce Knowles, Ali Larter, and Idris Elba
Obsessedbeyonce_lWhat can't she do?"What looked like a fair fight between four strong contenders for number one this weekend ended up a lopsided bruising by the BeyoncĂ© Knowles thrillerObsessed, which raked in an estimated $28.5 million and left the competition behind in a bloody heap. (Hold on, Box Office fans, the over-the-top brawling metaphors just get worse from here.) Despite a widespread critical drubbing (Metacritic smacked it with a 22 score),Obsessed clearly tapped into a female-driven audience bloodlusting for some schlocky, catfighting fun with its story of a woman (Knowles) battling to keep a mentally unhinged secretary (Ali Larter) from stealing her husband (Idris Elba). Knowles' full-court media press last week certainly didn't hurt either: Nearly doubling many prognosticators' estimates (including that of EW's own Joshua Rich), Knowles pulled in her biggest three-day opening since 2002's Austin Powers in Goldmember and can officially cross off "become a bona fide movie star" on her list of Things I Need To Do To Dominate The World."

See What Im Saying: # 2 Motivational Quotes

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)

ProBallin: Hornets 86 vs. Nuggets 107 & Heat 91 vs. Hawks 106

Hornets 86, Nuggets 107









DENVER -- With a little help from the hometown kid,Carmelo Anthony is finally moving on.

Behind Anthony's 34 points and the floor leadership ofChauncey Billups, the Denver native who came home this season and galvanized a city and a team, the Nuggets advanced to the second round of the NBA playoffs, 107-86 over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.

Heat 91, Hawks 106






               

ATLANTA -- A series of blowouts is now about survival. The Atlanta Hawks hope they have enough players left to finish off Miami. The Heat are counting on Dwyane Wade to save the season, despite a bump on his head and a balky back.

The Hawks kept up the theme of this matchup between division rivals -- no game has been close -- but there were several subplots after a night of hard fouls and staredowns left the Heat feeling as though Atlanta rubbed it in a little too much in a 106-91 victory Wednesday

In Sickness & In Health: Swine Influenza



PRECAUTIONS Dozens of deaths have occurred from the swine influenza outbreak in Mexico. People wore surgical masks on Monday in Mexico City.

Swine Influenza and You

Are there human infections with swine flu in the U.S.? In late March and early April 2009, cases of human infection with swine influenza A (H1N1) viruses were first reported in Southern California and near San Antonio, Texas. Other U.S. states have reported cases of swine flu infection in humans and cases have been reported internationally as well. An updated case count of confirmed swine flu infections in the United States is kept at  http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/investigation.htm CDC and local and state health agencies are working together to investigate this situation.

The Funny: Comedian Lil Duval (T.I.'s Road 2 Redemption Spoof)

Funniest video I seen today.

Tips & Techniques: (Part 2) Im going to tell you what someone fitter told me...





Pt. 2

Work it. Simply slapping through a series of crunches is not very effective. Slow things down. Hold at the top of each movement. Don't pull on your head or neck with your hands. Lift up and curl forward until your shoulder blades clear the floor. Take the time to truly feel your muscles working. If you can do more than 15 repetitions at a pop, you're either not doing them correctly or the exercise is too easy. Strive for impeccable technique and experiment until you find a combination of exercises that offers a properly intense workout.


Enough is enough. Work your abs two to four days a week, giving them at least a day's rest between workouts. Do 3 to 10 sets per workout, 8 to 15 repetitions per set. Doing more than that probably won't give you better results.

Spot training, yes. Spot reducing, no. Your abs respond to training just like any other muscle; work them properly and consistently and you'll be rewarded with a middle that's firmer and tighter. However, don't expect to melt away tummy fat by doing hundreds of crunches or by spending an hour a day with the latest ab gizmo. You simply can't spot reduce this or any other area of your body. The only way to reduce the body fat around your middle is by combining a sensible diet with fat-burning aerobic exercise -- and even then there's no guarantee you'll lose exactly what you want to lose.

Keep it real. The appearance of your middle muscles has a lot to do with heredity. You can do everything right but still not have the flat, sculpted tummy of your dreams. Does that mean you shouldn't exercise your abs? Of course not! Just have realistic expectations about what you can and can't achieve.
