Football Player Adorns Personality
Posted On: August 14, 2011 at 11:42 a.m.
South Carolina University football star Devin Taylor has a lot more on his mind than football this coming season, at least according to Post and Courier. Based on the rubber wristbands that Taylor sports on his arm, you would think he couldn’t ever think of football.
Reported by The Post and Courier , here is the story: “There is a lot to like about a pass rusher skilled enough to drop back in coverage. Taylor was fourth in the SEC with 7 1/2 sacks last season and eighth in the league with 13 tackles for lost yardage. He also broke up a team-high eight passes.
That only partially explains the high level of NFL interest. The athleticism has to scare offensive line coaches: Taylor played basketball and won the state Class AAAA triple jump title at Beaufort High.
"I'm just playing like I normally do," Taylor said. "I don't really listen to the media."
But those first-round draft pick projections must be pretty cool.
"It's just fun to look at sometimes to see what everyone is saying about things you have to improve on and stuff," said Taylor, who is working on a degree in integrated information technology.
Obviously, Taylor has a lot on his mind. He wears at least a half-dozen thin rubber wristbands on any given day: two for cancer patients, one honoring U.S. military veterans, a "power" bracelet, two from the team chapel service.”
What wristbands would you wear if you were Devin Taylor?

Cowboys & Aliens Review Knocks Wristband
Posted On: August 13, 2011 at 11:42 a.m.
In a critical review of the summer blockbuster Cowboys and Aliens, a blogger calls Daniel Craig’s alien killing wristband a silly simulacrum of the Livestrong wristbands made famous by Lance Armstrong and his foundation.
Reported in Philadelphia Weekly , the film receives less accolades than the wristband: “Boasting five credited screenwriters, a raft of story-by credits and bearing little resemblance to the comic book from which it takes its goofy title, Cowboys & Aliens begins as a gritty, old-school oater. Daniel Craig’s laconic Man With No Name awakens in New Mexico, with weird wounds, ninja fighting skills and no memory of his past. He’s also wearing a laser-shooting wristband accessory that fulfills random plot functions at arbitrary moments. (It’s a Deus Ex Livestrong Bracelet.)
Craig quickly earns the ill will of Harrison Ford’s crotchety cattle baron, as well as an overstuffed cast of sterling character actors in the town of Absolution. Cowboys & Aliens takes its sweet time playing things straight, setting up complicated interpersonal dynamics and trusty archetypes. But then all of the sudden a bunch of UFO’s show up and everything goes to hell.
In a curious choice, all the more colorful characters are either abducted or killed by the end of the first reel. This leaves Craig and Ford to try to out-badass one another, playing Gruff And Gruffer while starting up a posse to rescue the kidnapped townspeople from an alien spacecraft. It sounds like way more fun than it actually is. The movie is grindingly violent and one-note.”
Sounds like I should go buy a wristband before I see the movie.

Perhaps an unlikely pair, Nissan has teamed up with the Lance Armstrong Foundation to support healthy living. Armstrong’s famous “Livestrong” motto (known mostly through those bright yellow silicone wristbands ) is being coupled with Nissan’s new zero-emissions LEAF.
According to PR Newswire : “The zero-emission Nissan LEAF will join the "Innovation for Endurance" display by Nissan and Rodale, Inc. for the 2011 Team LIVESTRONG® Challenge Philly, August 20-21. In the fifth year as the official automotive sponsor of the Team LIVESTRONG Challenge series, Nissan is proud to bring the "World Car of the Year" to the event, as Nissan shares its mission of encouraging healthy lifestyles.
At this year's two-day, multi-distance run and bike ride, Nissan will continue enthusiastic presence with the interactive "Innovation for Endurance" display that invites spectators to learn more about electric vehicles, participate in a bike challenge, design a t-shirt and check out the 100% electric Nissan LEAF. Visitors can also enter for a chance to win a new Nissan LEAF as they explore the display housed on the Montgomery County Community College campus Saturday and Sunday.
"LIVESTRONG is grateful to Nissan for once again supporting the LIVESTRONG Challenge series," said Doug Ulman, LIVESTRONG president and CEO. "We applaud Nissan for its dedication to sustainable practices and for creating the Nissan LEAF that provides cleaner air to the benefit of public and environmental health."
Sounds like a good combination to promote good things.
