Fitness guru Denise Austin and Actress/Director Debbie Allen appeared on CNN weekend morning edition with news anchor TJ Holmes Saturday. It was lively and informative. Near the end of the segment, Denise stood up and invited TJ to touch her rock hard stomach. He did. Then, she touched his leg. OK, she open-palm, grabbed his thigh and felt him up. She said he was fit. TJ declined to open his suit jacket so that she may feel his rock hard abs, to the disappointment of many audience members around the globe.
Basically, the ladies said consume fewer calories and increase calorie burn and weight loss will occur. Or, simply put less food on your plate and stop overeating.

Oklahoma to Become Fourth Retail Market for Honda's Natural Gas-Powered Civic GX
Dealer network expands for retail sales of nation's only natural gas-powered vehicle sold by an OEM
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., recently announced that dealers in Oklahoma will now have the option of selling the compressed natural gas (CNG) powered Honda Civic GX to customers on a retail basis. There are 13 Honda dealers in Oklahoma, three of which are already selling the Civic GX as a fleet vehicle.
"Expanding Honda's Civic GX retail program along with the continued success of fleet sales expresses our commitment to the environment and natural gas vehicle technology," said Elmer Hardy, senior manager of Alternative Fuel Vehicle Sales & Marketing. "Honda seeks market opportunities for the Civic GX where strong natural gas refueling infrastructure exists, and we continue to see its promise as a clean, sustainable, domestically-sourced alternative fuel."
Honda is the only OEM currently selling a CNG-powered vehicle on a retail basis in the United States. Additionally, the Civic GX is the only OEM-built, CNG-powered passenger car assembled in America. The Civic GX is built on the same assembly line as the gasoline-powered Civic 4-door models at Honda's Greensburg, Indiana manufacturing facility.
In 2006, the Civic GX became available for the first time to retail customers in California. Since then, retail sales have expanded to New York, Utah and now, Oklahoma. Currently, 43 dealers in California, 19 in New York and eight in Utah have added Retail Sales Addendums to their Honda Sales Agreements that enable them to sell the Civic GX on a retail basis. When including dealerships that sell fleet vehicles, there are a total of 134 Civic GX dealers in 33 states.
Oklahoma is an ideal market to expand retail sales of the Civic GX with its low refueling costs, a generous state tax incentive toward the purchase of a new Civic GX and solid fleet sales. As the second largest natural gas producing state in the U.S., Oklahoma already has a strong existing CNG station infrastructure with robust plans to expand the network over the next several years.
The 2010 Civic GX achieves an EPA-estimated city/highway fuel economy of 24/36** miles per gasoline-gallon equivalent and is the only vehicle certified by the EPA to meet both Federal Tier 2-Bin 2 and Inherently Low Emission Vehicle (ILEV) zero evaporative emission certification standards. Additionally, the Honda Civic GX is the cleanest internal combustion vehicle ever tested by the EPA, and for the seventh straight year, the Civic GX NGV was named "Greenest Vehicle" by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE).

Steppers Soul Series (Phase I)
Steppers Soul Series (Phase I)
Presents
"Marcell and The Truth" &
"DJ Markey G"
Hosted by ChiStepper.com, Dre and Company, & Ken Bedford Productions
Soul Series Phase I
CHICAGO, IL: The summer is looking a little sexier, as ChiStepper.com has partnered with Dre and Company and Ken Bedford Productions to bring you the "Steppers Soul Series." ChiStepper prides itself on creating outlets for those Steppers, both New and Old Skool, who appreciate a classy mature party, with great music, and good dancing.
On June 13th, 2010 (2nd Sunday), capping off Sistas In Sync's "Embrace The Dance" weekend, ChiStepper.com, Dre and Company, and Ken Bedford Productions is bringing in Marcell and The Truth. Marcell will be singing all of his Steppers classics: Maybe I'm Not The Man; Hopes Too High; Breathe Love; and Cold Rain from the "Hopes Too High" album, and "Seed You Water," from the new album "Symbols" for the first time in Chicago. Marcell will have his new CD "Symbols" with him and ChiStepper.com will be giving away a few FREE CD's on ChiStepper.com to Elite Advantage Members and some regular readers also.
In addition, we have DJ Markey G opening up, who just released his new album "Stepmentalz," and features the popular Steppin' track "I Wanna Go Steppin'." Markey G will also be performing his Steppers classic "I'm The Man." Don't get it confused though, this IS NOT A CONCERT! This will be a Steppers party, where you all are encouraged to dance while the entertainers sing. They'd have it no other way.
It has been a dream of mine to bring a live element to Steppin' ... and to do it downtown in the summer at the 9 million dollar "Alhambra Palace" is going to be awesome. By the way, this is only Phase I of the "Steppers Soul Series." On July 18th, 2010 (3rd Sunday) we're bringing you two more popular artists with tracks that we love, who have never ever before performed in front of the Chicago Steppin' audience. Then, we'll wrap up the Soul Series up on Sunday, August 15th (3rd Sunday) with two more Steppin' artists.
Steppers, you asked from something fresh, classy, and unique and here it is. DJ Cross will be in the booth spinning the best of New and Old Skool Steppers music. Come out and party with T. Pratt, Dre Blackwell, and Ken Bedford on June 13th as we cap off Sistas In Sync's "Embrace The Dance" weekend.

Gap Band's Charlie Wilson tells he Associated Press how he rebounded from homelessness during the mid 1990s to be nominated for Billboard Artist of the Year and double Grammy nominee.
