________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A fan from Australia recently shared the story of how she got lost in Los Angeles while on vacation, and Keanu Reeves came to her rescue \u2014 although she didn’t realize that it was him to begin with. Nicole Lewis-Jacobs had completely lost her bearings in Beverly Hills. She bumped into Reeves in a caf\u00e9, and asked him for directions, although at this point, he was simply a “bloke” to her. Reeves offered to give Lewis-Jacobs a lift to her destination in his Porsche, but she told him that she wasn’t in the habit of getting into cars with strange men she didn’t know.<\/p>\n It was at that moment that Reeves introduced himself. “I was a little shocked to realize who I was actually talking to as I did not recognize him,”.He made sure I got to the destination, safely calling my husband and kids (who were on a bus to meet me) to say he had me in the car as well as the family friends we were visiting. It is not every day that a movie star like Keanu Reeves gives you a lift in Tinseltown.” <\/strong><\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0“Fast & Furious”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0spin-off\u00a0“Hobbs & Shaw”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0knocked\u00a0“The Lion King”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0from the throne, winning the box office this weekend with a $60.8 million take.\u00a0 It was the only new movie to crack the Top 10.<\/p>\n “The Lion King”\u00a0<\/em>was the runner-up, earning another $38.2 million.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1996 [23] \u201cA Game of Thrones\u201d, an epic fantasy novel by George RR Martin, is published (basis of the mega-popular HBO-TV show that debuts in 2011)<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n 1982 _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n RANDOM REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GOOD NEWS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a 64-year-old wheat farmer in eastern Washington named Larry Yockey, who’s been battling stage 4 melanoma.\u00a0 And he’s in pretty rough shape.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The cancer spread to his bones and weakened them. \u00a0So he ended up with a broken hip and cracked ribs.\u00a0 And he had no way to harvest his crops this year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But a bunch of people on neighboring farms found out about it a few months ago and started planning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And on Sunday, around 60 farmers showed up with combines and other equipment.\u00a0 And they harvested his entire 1,200-acre field in ONE DAY.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They did three weeks of work in about six hours.\u00a0 And Larry was totally blown away by the huge show of support.\u00a0 Obviously it’s a big deal for him financially.\u00a0 So all that stress is gone.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s also given him an opportunity to focus on his treatments and hopefully get better.\u00a0 He told reporters he can’t even describe how thankful he is.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [49] M Night Shyamalan, movie director<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [46] Vera Farmiga, actress (\u201cBates Motel\u201d 2013-17)\/(\u201cThe Conjuring\u201d, \u201cThe Departed\u201d) COMING UP\u2026\u201cThe Conjuring 3\u201d, 2020<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Rude Cell Phone Behavior We\u2019ve Normalized<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n DO YOU PLAY A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT?<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n 57% no- I don’t play any musical instruments<\/p>\n 23% yes- I play at least one musical instrument<\/p>\n 14% I would like to learn to play a musical instrument<\/p>\n 7% I’ve never tried to play an instrument<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER REFILL YOUR PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If you finish the water in your disposable bottle you might want to think twice about refilling it.<\/p>\n The issue is the plastic water bottles contain the chemical BPA, which can leach into the water and quickly grow dangerous bacteria in the bottle’s cracks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kent Atherton, CEO of PuriBloc technology, says, “Even BPA-free products are not safe since manufacturers are now substituting other estrogenic chemicals, not as widely known, which may pose a danger to human health.” These chemicals can have a negative effect on human beings’ hormonal balances.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, single-use plastic bottles are mostly made of PET– which is safe to use, but not reuse, as it also leaches chemicals into your water if heated or if the bottle gets scratched.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The other concern about re-using a bottle is very basic– it comes into contact with your hands and mouth, which are both huge sources of germs. Your best bet is to invest in a BPA-free plastic bottle or one made from glass or stainless steel.<\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TUESDAY AUGUST 6TH<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [49] M Night Shyamalan, movie director<\/p>\n [46] Vera Farmiga, actress (\u201cBates Motel\u201d 2013-17)\/(\u201cThe Conjuring\u201d, \u201cThe Departed\u201d) COMING UP\u2026\u201cThe Conjuring 3\u201d, 2020<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Toronto\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tampa Bay\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 0<\/p>\n Chicago WS\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Detroit\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He graduated business school with a 3.98 GPA, went on to study medicine and graduated med school this year, acing every class and earning a three-year residency at Cleveland Clinic Akron General Hospital in emergency medicine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LUKE BRYAN TO RETURN TO ‘AMERICAN IDOL’<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n It’s been confirmed that\u00a0Luke Bryan<\/strong>\u00a0will join\u00a0Katy Perry<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Lionel Richie\u00a0<\/strong>at the judges table once again for the third season of\u00a0American Idol\u00a0<\/em>on ABC.
