Celebrity Spotlight
Luke Bryan’s Tailgates & Tanlines soared to the top of the Billboard Country Albums chart this week and landed at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. While the whole world seems to be getting hip to Luke’s country lifestyle, the singer is simply being himself and singing about what he knows. “I mean so many times in college, you know we had big field parties, and everybody—and then behind my fraternity house in college, we would lay the tailgate down and just party in the backyard with our trucks—lot of smiles kinda come up on your face when you start talking memories of trucks and stuff.” The album sold over 145-thousand copies in its first week, edging out Eric Church’s Chief to become the second highest debut for a country album this year behind Brad Paisley’s This Is Country Music.
TIDBIT: “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” has sold more than one-million downloads and is his best-selling single to date.

When set loose I fly away,
Never so cursed as when I go astray.

HOMETOWN HERO’S
Simply put, Hometown Hero’s are people who help others in some way.
Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Loretta Sanchez
My Grandmother is my hero because she was always there for me when I needed her. She was there when I needed someone to talk to; she was was my everything. She raised me since I was three months old and loved me like I was her own child. She passed away last year and I miss her so much. Although I have my husband and kids to help me, it's not the same without her. She is still in my heart and soul and I love her.

Don, I’m freaking out because my neighbors brought home their first baby from the hospital the other night and I hear him screaming and cant’ get any sleep!
I don’t know what to do, is it bad etiquette to complain to them about their crying baby? Should I just suck it up? How long can this last?
Signed,
Marko
That’s a tough one Marko. Maybe you could take a baby gift over with a bottle of wine and talk to them about. Ask them if they have any ideas. You need to approach the topic gently. You don’t want to make enemy’s out of your neighbors. However, if it were me, I’d just deal with it. The baby will soon sleep through the night. Then you can invite them over for a BBQ and laugh about the whole thing.
Good Luck
MAN CAVE
Kyle Busch won his 23rd race on NASCAR's Sprint Cup circuit, pulling even with brother Kurt in career victories.
Kyle Busch outlasted Jimmie Johnson on Sunday in a green-white-checkered finish at Michigan International Speedway, winning his fourth Cup race of the year. Busch leads the series standings by 10 points over Johnson and is assured of a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Three-time Kentucky Derby-winning jockey Calvin Borel has been arrested on a drunken driving charge in Indiana.
The 44-year-old Louisville, Ky., resident was released on $100 bond Sunday morning from the Vanderburgh County Jail in Evansville after being arrested the night before. He was due in court Monday
HEALTH MOMENT
This information can benefit all of us.
An imaging test that identifies calcium in the coronary arteries of the heart is a more accurate indicator of heart attack risk in seemingly healthy people than a widely used test that measures inflammation, a new study shows.
Researchers say coronary artery calcium (CAC) testing can better identify people with normal cholesterol who could benefit from treatment with cholesterol-lowering statin drugs than the C-reactive protein (CRP) blood test.
Statins were once prescribed only to people with high cholesterol, but that changed following the publication of a practice-changing study known as the JUPITER trial in 2006.
JUPITER found that patients with normal cholesterol benefited from treatment with statins when they had elevated levels of inflammation, as measured by CRP.
Patients in the study with normal cholesterol and elevated CRP who took statins had fewer heart attacks than patients with the same characteristics who did not take the drugs.
Talk to your doctor and see if this treatment could be for you. It might save your life.
WHAT’S FOR DINNER
Sunday Chicken
INGREDIENTS:
6 to 8 fresh or frozen broccoli spears
6 to 8 cling peach halves
3 whole chicken breasts, split, skinned
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon paprika
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
TO PREPARE:
Cook the broccoli with a small amount of water in a saucepan until tender-crisp; drain. Drain the peach halves on paper towels; pat dry. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the butter, paprika and garlic in a baking dish.
Add the chicken, turning to coat. Bake, loosely covered with foil, at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Combine the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl and mix well. Coat the chicken with 1/2 of the mixture. Bake, loosely covered with foil, for 20 minutes longer or until the chicken is cooked through. Arrange the broccoli and peaches around the chicken; spread with the remaining sour cream mixture.
Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Place on the bottom oven rack. Broil until glazed and light brown.

BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) I don't know if you've noticed, but PG-13 movies have been using the F-word more often lately. The Motion Picture Association of America only allows them to use it once, in a non-sexual way, but they also have an appeal process. So if the extra F-words are in the background or in context of the story, they can stay. And movies with explosions can have sound effects drown out part of the word, to sneak more in.
I guess Hollywood is try to make us the most decadent country in the world.
#2.) I love this report because it totally caters to degenerate slobs like us. The CDC has found that you can decrease your chance of dying early by 63% by quitting smoking, cutting back drinking, exercising regularly, and eating healthy. BUT . . . since they know most of us won't do all four, they've made a point to mention that just doing ONE of those decreases your risk of dying by at least 10%.
#3.) These were announced back in May, and now they're finally on the shelves. For everyone who wasn't satisfied with Double Stuffed Oreos, you can now buy . . . TRIPLE-DECKER OREOS. They go cookie, Oreo filling, cookie, chocolate filling, cookie . . . like a club sandwich. Each one is 100 calories. As if we weren’t fat enough!
And I leave you with this thought…
"Appreciation is like looking through a wide-angle lens that lets you see the entire forest, not just the one tree limb you walked up on."
