Doug Brode - "Mr. Pop Culture America" -  "The Life of Dennis Hopper"
Dennis Lee Hopper (May 17, 1936 – May 29, 2010) was an American actor, filmmaker and artist. As a young man, Hopper became interested in acting and eventually became a student of the Actors' Studio. He made his first television appearance in 1955, and appeared in two films featuring James Dean, Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and Giant (1956). Over the next ten years, Hopper appeared frequently on television in guest roles, and by the end of the 1960s had played supporting roles in several films.  He directed and starred in Easy Rider (1969), winning an award at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay as co-writer. "With its portrait of counterculture heroes raising their middle fingers to the uptight middle-class hypocrisies, Easy Rider became the cinematic symbol of the 1960s, a celluloid anthem to freedom, macho bravado and anti-establishment rebellion." Film critic Matthew Hays notes that "no other persona better signifies the lost idealism of the 1960s than that of Dennis Hopper."  He was unable to build on his success for several years, until a featured role in Apocalypse Now (1979) brought him attention. He subsequently appeared in Rumble Fish (1983) and The Osterman Weekend (1983), and received critical recognition for his work in Blue Velvet and Hoosiers, with the latter film garnering him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He directed Colors (1988) and played the villain in Speed (1994). Hopper's later work included a leading role in the television series Crash. Hopper was also a prolific and acclaimed photographer, a profession he began in the 1960s.
 
Blume Bauer - Belly Dancer 



At this point, we don't know too much about Blume. But her business is a small, woman-run (ya think?) company. She has a small staff of devoted slaves, many with four legs, dog breath, and uncontrollable drooling habits.  What can I say? She hires the socially challenged.   Blume and her minions work hard to provide the highest-quality products and customer service.   Being a belly dancer herself, she realized that there were very few options for workout clothing for the modern belly dancer. Blume, like most dancers, wanted to look great and wear fun clothes that show the world that she's a belly dancer, and darn proud of it! Ya can't wear your costume all the time.  When you can't wear your dance costumes, wear these.


 


Pete Bils - Sleep Expert 
Pete Bils is a guest lecturer at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minneapolis. He is also a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, an organization dedicated to the assurance of quality care for patients with sleep disorders, the advancement of sleep research, and public and professional education.  Did you know that on a hot summer night, you can sweat as much as 1.5 liters while you try to get a good night’s sleep? During the summer months, many things can influence how much and how well we sleep, including more daylight hours, increased room temperatures and humidity levels, and explosions in the number of indoor and outdoor allergens.  Study after study demonstrates the importance of sleep to our mental and physical well-being. But, during the summer, sleep is even more important as we tend to take more of a beating – more active family schedules, more time in the energy-draining sun, later nights and earlier mornings, and more. So, how can you sleep well through the summer months?
