...murder. I walk around at about 192 lb., and I had to get up to 228 and put muscle on, not fat. I found this trainer, this Israeli ex-commando, and he made it real serious. He's like, "You gotta be here at this time. You've gotta eat seven meals a day. You have to run every day." I respected him, and he respected...
...government-run theme park. Born in Ontario to a pair of devout Catholics (who had, and would produce, several additional children), the Dionne quintuplets were an immediate media sensation, a Depression-era precursor to today's Octomoms and Jon and Kates.

(75 kg) and rebuilding herself with plastic surgery--but he is straight. So I went to his house with Dr. William Murphy to see Torres get Botoxed...
...service: "The risk is real. Birds are a threat every day, but only on rare occasion do you have them causing a crash." He explains that an Airbus A320, the type of plane involved in the crash, has an engine designed to sustain damage from up to a 4-lb. bird. "The real hazard is if you have simultaneous damage with a flock of birds. I don't know what happened in this case, but multiple engine failure due to bird strikes can bring an aircraft down," he says...
