For Bernie Mac
Bernard Jeffrey McCullough (October 5, 1957 – August 9, 2008),
This post is a memorial tribute to Bernie Mac, the American actor and comedian who was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago. 
I never saw his acts as a stand-up comedian, because I only saw his comedies.
May his soul rest in peace and may the Almighty God Jehovah comfort his bereaved family.

St. Valentine's Day Wishes: Perfume? Jewelry? Labiaplasty?
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ --
St. Valentines Day has always conjured up images of eager boyfriends and husbands rushing to buy that perfect gift that says, "I Love You." Over the decades, women have become better able to communicate more specific wish lists to their significant others rather than simply accepting generic and, sometimes, short lived gifts such as flowers.
Such was the case for Carl and Kristina of suburban Chicago. After twelve years of marriage and five very large children, sex for Kristina had become, physically and emotionally, a mind numbing experience. Her anatomy had changed and sensation had disappeared during sexual relations. The vulvar appearance no longer looked "trim and youthful," said Kristina. "I was so embarrassed; I no longer wanted him near me without the lights off." That's when the Chicago couple began their internet research. Kristina was going to get the ultimate gynecologic cosmetic makeover for St. Valentine's Day.
The couple discovered the website for the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of Michigan and phone consulted with the director, board certified gynecologic surgeon Dr. Joseph Berenholz. When queried whether she had spoken with her gynecologist, Kristina explained that, "She said it was all a normal consequence of childbirth, not to worry and just keep doing my kegel exercises. I was so disappointed. I had been doing kegels for two years with no results!" The couple booked their flight for Michigan and arranged a date for surgery.
The consultation took place at the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of Michigan. During the exam, Dr. Berenholz realized that Kristina was also suffering from stress incontinence, a condition where women lose urine when they laugh, sneeze, cough, jump or run. The surgery was scheduled for the following day. Kristina had a Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation to tighten her vagina. She also had a Laser Labiaplasty and a sling procedure to cure her incontinence. The procedure took two hours. The couple spent the night at a local hotel and then saw Dr. Berenholz in the morning. After being given final medical approval, the couple returned to Chicago happy and hopeful.
"I took a mirror and looked down below," said Kristina. "I was so surprised how wonderfully normal I looked. It was as though I had gone back in time prior to having my children!" Tears welled up in her eyes. "I was so ashamed to discuss my problem with nearly anyone. Dr. Berenholz just made it all so comfortable." Carl just smiled, happy to see the joy in Kristina's face.
Dr. Berenholz was the first Gynecologic surgeon in the Midwest to offer Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation. He trained in Beverly Hills with Dr. David Matlock, the originator of the technique and a regular appearing physician on "Dr. 90210." Asked why he thought patients come to him from the entire Midwest including Michigan, Dr. Berenholz simply replied, "People want experience. This is the most delicate part of the female anatomy and is tied in very closely to the female psyche." Dr. Berenholz is still amazed at how women tell him of the dismissive attitude of their Gynecologists. When asked if he found it humorous that a woman would ask for this type of surgery for St. Valentine's Day, Dr. Berenholz laughed and said, "It beats getting a box of chocolate."

Football Brothers Brendon and Femi Ayanbadejo 'Brother Up' With Kush
TV SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ --
KushTV, the original and first multi-platform, high-definition broadband and lifestyle network announced today the launch of the new series "Brother Up" starring NFL's favorite brothers, Chicago Bears' Brendon Ayanbadejo and 11 year veteran, Femi Ayanbadejo. The show brings the heat from the field to the streets as KushTV grants viewers their backstage pass into the lives of the NFL siblings.
KushTV will air episodes exclusive on their interactive network intimately following the life on and off the field. Viewers can expect to witness everything from what it takes to get physically and mentally prepared for Sunday's big game, unpredictable adventures with top notch players such as Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, and Devin Hester, the importance of manicures and pedicures and constant brotherly bickering and competitive nature; from everything from who can bench press more to who has prettier feet. KushTV will capture the heart-wrenching departure as Femi is cut from the team, his struggle to stay on top and when Brendon is left to represent for both their dreams.
"We got our first lessons in the mean streets of Chicago," states Femi. "KushTV has provided an outlet that allows us to tell our story of struggle and hope. It allows us a way to interact with our fans as well as people who have never heard of the Ayanbadejo Brothers."
"Our partnership with KushTV could not have come at better time," says Michael Skolnik, President of Soze Productions.
"They have prominent partnerships with major websites like MySpace and YouTube and a dedicated following on their own site www.kushtv.com. The brothers really love what KushTV has done with their shows and feel the partnering will serve us well as KushTV is an expert in online distribution."
This show is the second sports installment on the network with Perfect Picks starring the Olly Girls dominating the video charts of YouTube and MySpace.
"Our partnership with the Ayanbadejo brothers further signifies KushTV's relevance in all areas of entertainment," states Aaron Justin, Co-Founder of KushTV.
"Working with Brendon and Femi broadens our playing field and bridges hardcore NFL fans with those who have no previous sports knowledge."
KushTV currently has branded channel partnerships with Helio, Joost, YouTube, and Akimbo and will release more interactive high definition programming in the forthcoming months.
