Fitness Photographer's Arrested in Child Sex Case

Fitness Photographer's Fiancee Arrested in Child Sex Case

KTLA News

July 10, 2008, 6:04 PM PDT

NEWPORT BEACH -- A woman accused of helping her former fiance -- well-known "physique" photographer Jason Ellis -- carry on an illicit sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl, surrendered today to Newport Beach police.

Michelle Hecker, 31, is charged as an aider and abetter on three counts of lewd acts and one count each of statutory rape, oral copulation of a minor and digital penetration of a minor, said Farrah Emami of the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

She appeared this afternoon in a Newport Beach courtroom, where court Commissioner Gregory Jones set her bail at $50,000.

Her arraignment was postponed to July 18, the same day that Ellis, 33, will return to court to enter a plea to the charges, a court clerk said.

Hecker's attorney, Ron MacGregor, could not be reached for comment.

Authorities described Ellis and Hecker as engaged, but KCAL9 reported the engagement was broken off more than two months ago, although they continued to live together.

The girl told authorities she was in love with Ellis, prosecutors said.

Hecker allegedly gained the trust of the parents of the girl, who was 14 years old when the two met.

After he met the victim, Ellis began grooming her for a sexual relationship, Emami said.

Between August 2007 and June, Ellis took the girl on dates to movies and dinner, kissing and touching her in public, Emami said.

Hecker allegedly told the girl's parents that she and the girl were going horseback riding, allowing the girl to meet and spend time alone with Ellis, prosecutors said.

To hide what the two were doing, Hecker allegedly had the girl wear riding clothes when she picked her up or dropped her off, Emami said. The parents eventually became suspicious and had a private investigator follow them, Emami said.

When Ellis learned he was wanted in the case, he fled but was arrested 10 days later.

Ellis, whose photos have appeared on the covers of magazines such as Elle and Muscle & Fitness, was in jail on $100,000 bail.

Top 13 Exercise done wrong

noreply@blogger.com (Scott White) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:59:04 -0500

Exercising and moving the body is so awesome for the body, and I'm amazed to see how many people perform exercises wrong or very in-effective and more so dangerous.. when you put the body in a position that isn't correct to work the muscles your really putting a ton of risk on the bodies joints, tendons, and ligaments. You don't want to hurt yourself though many people perform exercises just flat out wrong. Here's a list of a bunch of exercises people at the gym do wrong. Don't risk yourself getting injured or hurting your body down the road because you don't know how to exercise correctly.. Get help.

Stiff Leg deadlifts: I can't tell you how many times I have seen this exercise done wrong in the gym, everyone's bending over rounding there back killing themselves trying to do this exercise correctly. If people only knew the harm they were doing to themselves by performing this exercise incorrectly.
Rotator Cuff Exercise: I'm amazed all the time to see how many people do this exercise wrong, do people not know how gravity works because most of the time they are moving weight the resistance isn't opposing gravity making this a very in-effective exercise.
Squats: an exercise so important and done so wrong with so often in the gym, hell I see trainers teach there clients bad technique on this one. to far forward, on there toes, and bending all funky.
Regular Deadlifts: Geeze I'm surprised more people don't have back pain because I see this exercise done wrong all the time with a rounded back. This isn't good.
Lat pull down: never pull the bar behind the neck are you stupid people have become paraplegic for this one, it tears your rotator cuff doing it that way, this goes for behind the neck presses, behind the neck pull ups and so much more.
Crunches: this one is hilarious to watch people do wrong because its like watching someone have sex with themselves, laying there humping the ground allowing to much momentum to move them and not really doing much for there abdominal muscles.
Lunges: how come no one knows how to do a lunge correctly no wonder why there are a bunch of people with butts that are sagging.
bicep curls: come on men it's not how much weight you can do it's how much you can stress the bicep muscle not the hips, back, and legs by swinging all that weight around.
Lateral raises: I'm amazed to see how high people raise the bar above there head, ever hear of shoulder impingement. ouch this is how you can lead yourself to shoulder surgery.
Olympic lifts: I don't even have to get into this one that much because people have no clue how to keep there body in proper form doing a should press there's no reason they should by trying to perform a complex exercise like this if they never have been trained in it.
Shoulder press: hello arching your back is not how to lift weight over your head in less you want a bad back.
Bent over rows: how many people don't know how to keep there back straight while performing this exercise, if your lower back isn't strong enough to maintain proper form why you even doing this exercise put your hand and/or leg on a bench and do it right.
Push ups: so many people can't even stabilize there body and shoulder blades correctly to lower and press themselves back up from a push up position, come on get with it this should be one of the first exercises a person masters.

There are many more exercise that are done incorrectly though that's the top 13 list of exercises done correctly please add more to this list because people need to know that exercise needs to be done correctly otherwise there putting there ligaments, tendons, joints at risk and that may lead to them being injured and not healthy.

So hire a personal trainer and a personal trainer that is qualified because half the time I see these exercises done wrong with peoples personal trainer standing right there.

Proper Biomechanics is essential when it comes to lifting weights and exercising. This is something people study for years to understand proper movement it's all just basic physics and these laws are fundamental so don't try and change something that is good for you by doing it wrong.

Inspirational Quotes

noreply@blogger.com (Scott White) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:02:51 -0500

The happiest people on earth are not those that have the best of everything, they are those that make the best of everything they have.

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore.........and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

'Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'

A sharp tongue can cut my own throat.

If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn't oversleep

The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts.

The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.

One thing I can give and still keep...is my word.

I lie the loudest when I lie to myself.

If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished.

Ideas won't work unless ' I ' do.

The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what I might have been.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right... Forget about the one's who don't... Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Scientists: Watermelon Yields Viagra-like Effects

noreply@blogger.com (Scott White) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:00:39 -0500

By BETSY BLANEY
The Associated Press
Thursday, July 3, 2008; 5:48 PM

LUBBOCK, Texas -- A slice of cool, fresh watermelon is a juicy way to top off a Fourth of July cookout and one that researchers say has effects similar to Viagra _ but don't necessarily expect it to keep the fireworks going all night long.

Watermelons contain an ingredient called citrulline that can trigger production of a compound that helps relax the body's blood vessels, similar to what happens when a man takes Viagra, said scientists in Texas, one of the nation's top producers of the seedless variety.

Found in the flesh and rind of watermelons, citrulline reacts with the body's enzymes when consumed in large quantities and is changed into arginine, an amino acid that benefits the heart and the circulatory and immune systems.

"Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it," said Bhimu Patil, a researcher and director of Texas A&M's Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center. "Watermelon may not be as organ-specific as Viagra, but it's a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side effects."

Todd Wehner, who studies watermelon breeding at North Carolina State University, said anyone taking Viagra shouldn't expect the same result from watermelon.

"It sounds like it would be an effect that would be interesting but not a substitute for any medical treatment," Wehner said.

The nitric oxide can also help with angina, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems, according to the study, which was paid for by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

More citrulline _ about 60 percent _ is found in watermelon rind than in the flesh, Patil said, but that can vary. But scientists may be able to find ways to boost the concentrations in the flesh, he said.

Citrulline is found in all colors of watermelon and is highest in the yellow-fleshed types, said Penelope Perkins-Veazie, a USDA researcher in Lane, Okla.

She said Patil's research is valid, but with a caveat: One would need to eat about six cups of watermelon to get enough citrulline to boost the body's arginine level.

"The problem you have when you eat a lot of watermelon is you tend to run to the bathroom more," Perkins-Veazie said.

Watermelon is a diuretic and was a homeopathic treatment for kidney patients before dialysis became widespread.

Another issue is the amount of sugar that much watermelon would spill into the bloodstream _ a jolt that could cause cramping, Perkins-Veazie said.

Patil said he would like to do future studies on how to reduce the sugar content in watermelon.

The relationship between citrulline and arginine might also prove helpful to those who are obese or suffer from type-2 diabetes. The beneficial effects _ among them the ability to relax blood vessels, much like Viagra does _ are beginning to be revealed in research.

Citrulline is present in other curcubits, like cucumbers and cantaloupe, at very low levels, and in the milk protein casein. The highest concentrations of citrulline are found in walnut seedlings, Perkins-Veazie said.

"But they're bitter and most people don't want to eat them," she said.

GOD'S PHARMACY

noreply@blogger.com (Scott White) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:14:23 -0500

God's Pharmacy



     It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...


God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!


A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.


Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.


Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.


A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.


Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.


Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.


Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).


Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.


Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like t he body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

why you should train in a private personal training studio

noreply@blogger.com (Scott White) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 17:03:40 -0500

By Diane Mapes

(LifeWire) -- Every gym has its share of grunters, groaners, heavy sweaters and hygiene queens. And then there are the aerobics assailants.

Really loud grunting and groaning can be disturbing to other people at the gym.

"I take a cardio class at my gym and the other day a first-timer came in and stood about six inches in front of me," says Olivia Giovetti, 22, a Los Angeles administrative assistant. "I asked her to move forward, but she just ignored me. And when the workout started, she was all over me."

Frustrated, Giovetti left. The following week, she secured a spot on the opposite side of the room, hoping to avoid the onslaught of arms and legs. It didn't help.

"She made a beeline right for me," says Giovetti. "She was grapevining into me, elbowing me. At one point she just flat-out pushed me. I'm like, 'What's going on? I'm just trying to work out here!'"

Sticking to a workout schedule is never easy, but it's harder still when you're bombarded with bad gym behavior. A quick look at user comments about health clubs on Yelp.com, a consumer-review Web site, reveals spats over sweaty equipment, personal space and wayward disinfectant.

Then there's the New York lawsuit involving a screaming spin class participant who was forcibly upended on his stationary bike by a classmate fed up with his loud grunts and shouts of "You go, girl!" In June, jurors acquitted the defendant, stockbroker Christopher Carter, of assault charges in that incident.

Squabbling over space

Most bad behavior involves minor stuff like sweaty equipment or lecherous stares, says Jared Williams, 25, a Seattle health club receptionist. But he's also seen full-blown wars, including a shouting match between two members over a weight machine.

"They were chest to chest yelling at each other," says Williams. "And by the time I finally got over there to break it up, they were wrestling. We eventually had to escort [one] guy out of the gym and cancel his membership."

Michael Feigin, host of the New York radio show "Fitness Guru" and founder of Half Moon Pilates, says territorial fights are the most common problem he's witnessed in his 20 years in the business.

"People get very caught up in territorial disputes," he says. "If somebody takes 'their' bike or 'their' space, they'll go off the charts in terms of their anger. In the first studio I opened, I had a bylaw in the brochure that said no one space belonged to any one individual. I put it on paper because that's always such a huge dispute."

Keep it down!

Personal space is just the tip of the iceberg. Other irritants include oppressive body odor, excessive locker-room nudity, cardio caterwauling and those who serenade fellow exercisers with off-key howls.

"You'll get people singing at the top of their lungs while they're running on the treadmill," says Feigin. "They don't do it consciously; they're just caught up in the energy. But it's a problem when it crosses the line and impinges on other people."

Cindy Lauren, a 53-year-old medical nonprofit director from Santa Monica, California, has a noise nightmare at her gym. The former competitive bodybuilder says one member sounds like she's having sex every time she lifts weights.

"You can hear her everywhere," she says. "She'll have these little 5-pound weights and she'll be going 'Aaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah!' like she's having an orgasm. The other members' eye-rolling and face-making almost make it worth it, but it's really irritating."

Managing the jerks

What's the best way to avoid an all-out gym war?

Williams says to let management handle disagreements, especially those with the potential to turn ugly.

"You have people who are full of testosterone or are taking supplements and already hyped up when they come in to work out," he says. "When that mixes with an aggressive personality, you've got somebody who can easily get into an altercation. So if there's a problem, it's best to bring it to the attention of the people who work there. It's part of their job to deal with this stuff; don't try to tackle it yourself."

But not all gyms will step in, says Giovetti, whose complaint about the aerobics assailant was met with indifference.

"I talked to gym management and they told me there was nothing they could do," she says.

Code of conduct

Many clubs take great pains to keep the peace, offering towels, spray disinfectant, and signage reminding members to clean up after themselves and limit their use of cardio machines during busy times.

Club One Fitness Center in San Francisco even posts notices about behavior in the locker room.

"We try to promote a code of etiquette," says 28-year-old manager Karim Rahman. "We have signs asking people to limit their cell phone use and not use their camera phones in the locker room -- just basic things to respect people's privacy."

But gyms are only partly responsible for a member's happiness, says Pauline Wallin, a clinical psychologist from Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, and author of "Taming Your Inner Brat: A Guide for Transforming Self-Defeating Behavior."

"There will always be people who are jerks -- people who take their workout way too seriously and feel entitled to do whatever they want, whenever they want because they've paid their $29 a month," she says. "It's up to you whether you let it bother you or not. You can choose to join the jerk group, or to remain independent and happy."

Want to avoid being a gym jerk or keep your sanity when others act up? Some simple rules:

• If your gym has a code of conduct, read and abide by it. If you've been breaking rules -- screaming, cussing, forgetting to clean up, cutting in -- apologize and move on. People are usually forgiving if you own up to bad behavior. If you see people breaking the rules but are leery of confronting them, tell management so they can do the heavy lifting.

• Always disinfect your equipment, and aim the spray carefully to avoid hitting your neighbor. If someone else fails to do this, don't assume they're inconsiderate; they may have forgotten.

• If someone's making too much noise (grunting, screaming, singing), politely ask them to keep it down. If they refuse, take it to management or move to another part of the gym.

• Remember that you're sharing space with hundreds of others. You may have a favorite bench or treadmill, but it's not yours. Let someone share the machine with you by taking turns during your circuit of exercises and be conscious of time limits some gyms set on the use of equipment during peak hours.

Modeling and Acting School Scams

noreply@blogger.com (Scott White) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:08:12 -0500

how many hear about a modeling school or Acting School who will get you in the commercials or on print magazines. Though you must pay them money upfront for schooling, training, or photo's, head shots and so forth. Be careful most of these schools are scams they won't really help you even if you sign up with them and they send you out on a few gigs. Most likely that's all you will get you got to be self motivated and

promote yourself.

don't get me a wrong people in the industry can help you and a good agent can work for you though when they get you jobs they make money. if your really worth marketing and they think they can get you acting jobs or modeling jobs there going to want to work with you.

In my Fitness Modeling Book I explain all these details and list the websites to get free photo's and head shots and places to help promote yourself and make yourself bigger than life in the industry. Geared more for the fitness industry though you can apply it to the whole acting and modeling industry.

Remember no one is going to promote you more than you, so get out there and go and find auditions on the web and network with the people in the industry I would recommend moving out to NYC or Los Angles if you really want to be in the business of acting or modeling.

You got to be a self promoter and not afraid to communicate to the people in the industry you never know which connection will pay off.

so be ready, be fit, be pretty, be fun, and be friendly to everyone and continue to help others because it all comes back and keep positive because you are really the most important key in your success so utilize yourself and be an shameless self promoter and go for your goals.

Change

noreply@blogger.com (Scott White) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:29:18 -0500

Working on your Fitness results in a ton of change.

Emotional, physical, and mental change happens when you partake in getting fit, it's an amazing experience my clients go through from start to finish. It's always so awesome to have my clients tell me I have saved there life, it's such a powerful testimonial I could ever ask.

I'm always promoting growth through personal development, fitness, health, lifestyle, and nutrition. It truly is the key to life. We are so stuck in our own emotion garbage that sometimes we need some serious help of a professional that can be there when you need it. I never really do much but to direct my clients and people in the direction. I provide the support, the communication and listening to get them motivated and inspired to change for the best.

I always have everyone's best at heart though sometimes tough love and putting the resistance to there life in there life and get them to face it head on and conquer and push past that resistance they create greater change physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Being fit is more than just looking pretty in a bathing suite as far as I'm concerned you must not only be physically fit, but emotionally fit as well to be a enlightened individual and be able to handle your life with such grace and power.

Change is inevitable do you want to change for the better or do you want life to get the best of you... it's your choice to take action and choice the change you want.

Life to the fullest and always know I'm here to give you that push you need.
