Released Fri, January 18 After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell, Cortez begins racing towards the USMexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez’ path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

aXis thoughts #2: “Let’s be naughty and save Santa the trip. “
Y’S BURNS D L O C E N O ST ! 3 1 0 2 r o f S LOCK
One thing that a lot of people don’t know about me, because even as Orlando’s greatest celebrity I appreciate my privacy, is that I am psychic. And I’m not talking psychic like some Mills Avenue $10 palm reader telling you, “I see great wealth and a fling with Burnsy in your future” (that’s if you are a large-breasted supermodel, otherwise tough luck). I mean that I can flat out tell the future, and I don’t need a crystal ball or a deck of cards or the bones of a small animal or even the blood of a virgin. Of course I have all of that stuff on standby, but I don’t actually need it. In fact, all I ever need to do is close my eyes, clear my mind and ask myself a question, and I can picture the answer clearly and to down to the exact second or smallest detail. Unfortunately, it’s both a talent and a curse, as sometimes evil villains try to kidnap me and use my powers for their own bad intentions, but most of the time I use my 30 years of martial arts training to escape, typically with a bevy of beautiful women and large amounts of money. But on occasions like this, when aXis asks me for my predictions for 2013, I like to use my power to cheat. You see, any tool can just guess what’s going to happen. But me? I’m going to use my incredible Professor X-like ability to tell you 10 things that are absolutely going to happen this year. I hope you’re wearing two pairs of underwear, because you’re about to piss amazement. Prediction No. 1: Mayor Buddy Dyer will wake up to find a homeless camp – or tent city – has been established on his front lawn. As with the rest of the city’s homeless problem, he’ll just ignore it and put homeless meters in his neighbors’ yards. Prediction No. 2: After the Los Angeles Lakers are bounced from the playoffs in the first round, Dwight Howard will express his desire to return to Orlando, as he will realize that the team is now stocked with young talent. On the day that he attempts to sign his contract, though, a TMZ photographer’s flash will permanently blind him and he will never play again. Prediction No. 3: I will have to issue a restraining order against each Orlando Magic dancer, as they just won’t leave me alone. Look, I’m flattered, ladies, but you’re starting to piss off the Victoria’s Secret models and my New Year’s resolution is no more female gang fights for my affection. Prediction No. 4: I will put the children of the Tijuana Flats’ owner through college. Therefore, I think it’s time that we name a hot sauce after me. “Burnsy’s Butt Blast” has a nice ring to it. Prediction No. 5: I will receive a lifetime ban from Hogan’s Beach, the new “breastaurant” that Hulk Hogan opened on New Year’s Day in Tampa. I know what you’re thinking, “Burnsy, that doesn’t have anything to do with Orlando”, but you’re wrong. It totally does. It means more love and business for our local Hooters restaurants. Prediction No. 6: I will have no cavities on my next dentist visit. Hey, this isn’t all about random crap. I like to brag about my awesome teeth, too. Prediction No. 7: Orlando will be named the safest city in America for the first time ever, because the person who keeps track of the city’s crime statistics and submits them to the National Crime Bureau (or whatever) will be murdered. Prediction No. 8: I will finally fulfill my long-running New Year’s resolution to lose weight and sculpt a chiseled, godlike physique. Once this is complete, men everywhere will fall into deep depressions, as their women will become sexually unfulfilled. I’ll issue a public apology, but it will be too late, as the government will force me to live on the moon, because I will be deemed too perfect. I only wish I could stop this, but even I am not as powerful as me. Prediction No. 9: The Big East will finally collapse, leaving UCF and USF without a conference. Both schools will make an agreement that one will not join a new conference without the other, but UCF will ignore that pact because if there’s one thing that George O’Leary does well, it’s fib. Prediction No. 10: Finally, I will win the Power Ball for several hundred million dollars. However, I will donate my winnings to charity, because I am a good and selfless human being. The charity? Boob Jobs for Hot Homeless Women. No need to thank me. We can all be heroes.

BREWSCHOOL...
KEEPING YOU HIP TO THE hops Resolutions for the Non-Quitters!
I RESOLVE TO HAVE A BREW!
New Year’s resolutions rarely work, especially if they include quitting drinking! So in order to not quit, but still feel good, what light brews are tasty, but good on the carbs and calories? Coopers Pale Ale from Australia only has 131 calories and 6 grams of carbs. It is a pale ale with a rich golden color, a light, crisp body, and a hazy appearance. You can expect hints of hop fruitiness in the backbone. Another light brew would be Paulaner Original Lager from Germany. Paulaner has 147 calories. It is a German Helles Lager that is light, crisp, and refreshing in taste with a subtle hop aroma.
Any brews that include real fruits or ingredients that you would support for a balanced diet? There is a large amount of beers out there that use real fruits used in their brew. One I personally like is Abita Purple Haze. It is a wheat beer that is brewed with fresh raspberry puree providing nutrients and vitamins. It only has 128 calories and 11 carbs. Another beer brewed with fruit is Blue Point Blueberry. They use 732 pounds of fresh, plump and juicy, handpicked, USA Northern Highbush Blueberries in every batch! With only 131 calories in this beer, you can drink more than 2 or 3!
Less isn’t always more. Any darker, fuller beers that are actually good for the overall health kick? Guinness is surprisingly healthy and not filling. A lot of people think Guinness is heavy because of it’s dark color. It is unexpectedly light. A serving of the stout beer boasts 126 calories, which is 19 less than a Budweiser and 24 less than a Heineken. Guinness also contains under 10 carbs. Roasted taste is present with no hops in either the flavor or aroma. This type of Stout has low carbonation and an extra-thick head. Smithwicks is an amber ale with low carbohydrates coming in at 150. It pours a coppery red color with a small amount of lacing and head. It is mildly hopped with a roasted malt finish.
Best beer after a long jog or workout? According to a study published at Granada University in 2007, a pint of beer can rehydrate you as quickly as the same amount of water. Beer contains salts, sugars and carbohydrates that can replace nutrients and calories lost during your run. After a long run, I’d drink Victory Lager! Nothing says good run like a beer that says Victory! Victory lager is a perfect balanced German helles- style lager, medium in body and crisp finish. Prost!

aXisFIT BADASS of the MONTH
DRINK Looking for something light and different to drink over the holidays. Try a Magners Pear Cider over ice. It is gluten free and a nice change of pace from heavy Christmas Beers.
aXis: What are some of the most common mistakes made when someone is trying to build muscle and/or get ripped? Jenna: A common mistake (one that I am guilty of as well) is too much cardio. In the past I would do about an hour a day of cardio along with my weight training 6 days a week. I am already pretty tiny as it is and have trouble gaining muscle size so this was in no way beneficial to me. So with that being said, I have lowered my cardio tremendously! I am only doing 20-30 minutes of low intensity cardio 2 to 3 times a week and I usually do it right after my workouts. Needless to say, I’ve noticed a huge difference in muscle gains, and I am still lean. aXis: How do you prepare meals? Do you cook daily or cook for the week? Jenna: I prefer to cook twice a week in bulk. Usually Sunday and Thursday night. If I don’t do this and I’m not prepared then I find that I’m more likely to eat something I’m not supposed to, or even skip a meal so I make it a point to prep ahead of time. A couple favorites would be lean ground beef or ground bison sautéed with onions and a couple tomatoes with chili seasoning. Then I just portion it out and use Ezekiel wraps, and spinach.
EAT ADVICE FROM Andres D’Antoni 3rd year Medical ] Student
aXis: What does your current training and split look like, and what do you like most about it? Jenna: Right now I am finding a lot of success with the current workout program I am on. I am weight training a different muscle group each day (lifting heavy) with little rest in between sets. Instead of just doing 3 sets of each exercise I am doing 4, starting with higher reps and working down to lower reps. I can feel myself getting stronger, haha!.
aXis: What are your favorite cheat meals and foods? Jenna: I typically stay pretty strict on my diet; however, after a photo shoot I will splurge (sometimes). So, since I am a dessert kind of girl I’d have to say my favorites would be donuts, cupcakes, ice cream, cupcakes and cookies. And my favorite cookies are the sugar cookies with sprinkles from Publix! They are seriously to die for. And look! I said cupcakes twice!
ASK DR. D'
So here we are this in NewYear, do I even bother starting a “Another New Years Resolution”? Well, if you’re anything like me, I always start over on Mondays, exactly, meaning, somewhere mid-week I usually fall off the wagon. After all, I’m no quitter, so in order not to beat myself up too badly I tell myself I’ll start over on Monday; which inevitably ends up in frustration and worse of all missing my goals. Most New Years resolutions consist of following some kind of diet or weight loss plan, workout plan, new study schedules or anything structured. Having been blessed with the opportunity to start anew and begin medical school at 36, I’m back at this again with new insight. The Commitment has to be there, we must set realistic well Defined Goals, (many times we quit or fall off because we don’t see results in “our” unrealistic time allotted), and we must set ourselves up with Accountability, whether this means study, workout or health partner, they usually will share the responsibility and help you stick with it. Think of it as a lifestyle. Set yourself up for success. Focus on Completing your task; The Results will come. We live in a society with multiple constant distracters, its ok to give yourself some cheat room, but work it in to your schedule as well. The preventative well planned approach is the best approach.
aXis: What are your thoughts of niche diet approaches like the Paleo diet, Adkins diet, keto runs, the Warrior Diet, intermittent fasting, etc.? Jenna: Don’t waste your time! Your body needs proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to function properly. For any diet to say you need to rid one completely of your diet to lose weight is not healthy, nor is it necessary. As long as you are getting these in the correct amounts and at the right times, there is no need for any of these diets. Fitness and clean eating is a lifestyle and should be an everyday awareness, not a two week crash to lose 10 pounds while potentially damaging your body and feeling like crap in the process.
