A british comedy about relationships and sex. What's not to love. Coming soon to theaters.
Runtime: 2 min
TODO is one daily thing recommended for you, by us.
Let's just face it: belonging to a fancy Equinox/NYSC/Reebok Club/Crunch style gym is just not worth the money. Seriously, it's not, unless you're one of those people who are all "I work out every single morning, no matter what, and it's such a valuable integral part of my life and it keeps me toned, firm, and most importantly centered," in which case fuuuuck you. But if you go to one of those gyms and the way you justify the expense to yourself is "Shelling out this much money plus having paid an exorbitant initiation fee is my way of guaranteeing to myself that I will definitely start going to the gym all the time," then realize that you are basically paying to feel guilty. Feeling guilty should be free. Here is our suggestion: cancel your expensive gym membership, spend part of the money you are saving on drugs and/or pastries, feel guilty about THAT, and spend the rest of the money on a membership at our favorite gym ever, the Greenpoint YMCA. You can't even begin to imagine how wonderful this gym is, and that's why we're here: to help your imagination out.
One of the major 'pros' of going to the Greenpoint Y is that, instead of being surrounded by spandex-clad yuppies who look like the people in those late-night ads for home ab-crunching equipment, you will be surrounded by people of every conceivable ethnicity, age, gender, and B.O. 'flavor' (though 'onion' does tend to predominate). We don't know about you, but we think that working out next to a fit grandma is inspirational. 'Hey, it's possible to stay hale and hearty long into one's golden years!' we think to ourself. Also, it's a free ego boost. 'I am really in shape compared to this lady. She can't do nearly as many leg presses as me!' Ego boosts are a big part of why we love the Y.
Another reason to love the Y is that you will never be intimidated by the teenage thugs and hoodlums who haunt your neighborhood's stoops and shout witty remarks about passing ladies' asses ever again. Because now, you will have a relationship with the thugs that is cordial and based on conversational exchanges about how that one elliptical machine is always broken. You + thugs = good pals. (This doesn't mean they will stop talking about your ass, but they won't do it to your face).
Speaking of broken elliptical machines, it is true that the Y does have its drawbacks. For example, if you are accustomed to having a plethora of CardioStripYogaPilatescycle classes on offer, well, sorry. The Y's classes tend to be sort of bare bones, although there is one good yoga class. Just bring your own mat because theirs smell like the distilled essence of a thousand unclad feet. And if you are into water-related exercise, be aware of the fact that the Y's "pool" is like three feet long and it's the temperature of piss -- probably, we fear, for piss-related reasons. But if you pretty much only belong to a gym so that you can feel virtuous once or twice a month for run/walking on the treadmill while reading a dogeared month-old Us Weekly, then boy, do we have a lot in common. And also, you should join the Greenpoint YMCA.
(PS: There is a hostel-style setup on the upper floors, so if you're a cash-strapped tourist who is just dying to check out the scenic sights of Brooklyn's most Polish neighborhood, you can hang out with all the boys at the YMCA, if by 'boys' you mean 'fellow smelly Eastern European backpackers.' We're not sure if this is a plus or a minus, but just thought you should know.)

This morning, Atlanta internet-dater John Fitzgerald Page added another item to his impressive resume: he has now appeared on CBS's Early Show! Julie Chen looked on in horror from her side of the split-screen as John revealed that he still doesn't understand why that girl turned him down on Match.com. "Basically, if you hit on somebody on Match.com and you find them attractive, and then you find out that they have a good job with a good company and they live in a good part of town in a nice area and they take care of themselves ... that's not the time you'd reject them, I'd think," he retarditerates. "Every blog in the country" has covered him, he complained. Also, "people I've gotten roles have taken me off their 'friends' page." Ouch! But: "I know who I am and I'm just going to keep living my life and enjoying myself."

Nortel Networks achieved a measure of financial recovery in the third quarter as it posted a small profit even while revenue for most of its businesses fell.
The carrier and enterprise network vendor, emerging from years of mismanagement and still struggling against bigger rivals, ran a tighter ship during the quarter. Its operating expenses fell 3 percent and operating margin was Nortel's biggest since 2004, the company said.
That helped Nortel post net income of $27 million and earnings per share of $0.05, turning around from a net loss in the same quarter last year of $63 million or $0.14 per share.
But revenue fell 8 percent from a year earlier to $2.7 billion. Part of this was due to Nortel's sale last year of its UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) business: Excluding that impact, revenue fell just 2 percent. But even discounting it, the company's sales to carriers fell 11 percent. Only the company's enterprise business posted higher revenue with an 18 percent boost from a year earlier to $671 million. Nortel's services business had flat revenue.
The enterprise business has posted revenue gains for five consecutive quarters now, according to Nortel. In a news release, the company cited gains in all product portfolios and said its joint venture with Microsoft for unified communications has gained more traction. The companies have more than 300 joint customers and 900,000 licenses for their system, which combines Nortel telephony products and services with Microsoft software.
President and CEO Mike Zafirovski has tried to restructure and resize Nortel to be more competitive against Cisco Systems and other rivals. Nortel is overshadowed by Cisco in the enterprise business and faces a tougher challenge in the carrier network business, where there are fewer customers due to consolidation and competition from Asia is growing. Costs have come down as a result of Zafirovski's efforts: The company's third-quarter research and development spending was 12 percent lower than in last year's third quarter. The sale of the UMTS division and lower employee costs accounted for much of that drop, the company said.
But the revenue picture isn't expected to get much better. Nortel forecast revenue to be flat in the fourth quarter and down slightly for the full year compared with 2006.

31 Days of Horror – Black Christmas expends considerable effort establishing interesting dynamics between characters and crafting a few genuinely engaging sequences, thus elevating what may otherwise be deemed as stale material. It also somehow manages to include scenes featuring an actress who would soon portray Lois Lane getting repeatedly stabbed by a miniature glass unicorn. Did I mention this Canuck slasher movie was made by the director of A Christmas Story?
