J4F: Johnny you and 66 degree’s are an upcoming entity from the island of Guam promoting some entertaining media, can you tell us what 66 degrees is all about?

JH: 66 DEGREES is all about Entertainment and bringing the HARDCORE joy only 66 delivers, to all people, through the premier artists of and related to the sacred MARIANAS ISLANDS.....we've existed tens of thousands of years B.C., our stories and our people shall be REVEALED.... Now is the time....66 DEGREES chillin in de 'ville.

JUNE 6th my BIRTHDAY. 1 AM in the morning...thats my hour...D DAY...66. Route 66 would have been so weak and desperate,than out of no where...DEGREES...and i thought...perfect...chill show...chillin temperature....its all right there.... BURRRRiliant!!!

J4F: I recently watched a few episodes from your YouTube channel and found all your work to be very comical, entertaining and informative, what’s the theme behind the videos?

JH: At first, FRESH PRINCE of DEVILLE wit a lil WAYNE'S WORLD,,,,AND THATS not LIL WAYNE...thats WAYNE's WORLD LIke "PARTY TIME...EXCELLENT!!!". thats probably gonna fly over a few young ones...I look up to WILL SMITH and MIKE MYERS...and feel like puttin it out there with that type of comedic, upbeat vibe makes it way more homey, like home your own home, and homey like you're own homey is shooting the vid,,,because ultimately JOHNNY H, is a homey, a bro, J HOMEY...and gonna be puttin it right in your own home, on your t.v., i pod, i phone, android, i mac, laptop, whatever....NOW. world domination through new age media entertainment, utilizing all forms of social media, youtube, web, television, feature films, documentaries, and more TOP SECRET high grades!!!!

J4F: Johnny as you and I both know there are a lot of talented people in the Marianas, musicians, artists, fighters, racers, surfers, etc. A lot of the talent back home can definitely stand toe to toe with the other artists stateside. How do you think or what do you think needs to be done in order to put our artists from Guam on the mainstream of entertainment worldwide?

JH: Yes, there are a lot of talented people in the Marianas, they root in our islands and dream to do big things, the islands can barely contain their huge ambitions. LARRY FRANQUEZ, sponsored by SABIAN CYMBALS, VIC FIRTH, SUNLITE DRUMS, and more....he's the youngest of his brothers and they all play drums, he's been drummin a half century since he could hold drumsticks, left island to pursue his craft and got his masters, and now he jams jazz from new york city to tokyo....world class musicians and he's kickin that beat. TANYA MANIBUSAN worldwide internet sensation, this girls has well over 1 million total views for all of her vids on youtube, there is a ton....you don't know how many positive comments i get from her music vid i put up...., MELCHOR MANIBUSAN fought DREAM (YOKOHAMA arena, TOKYO) against KAWAJIRI   a top 10 world ranked MMA fighter, i was there with tens of thousands watching, FEDOR made a guest appearance, DREAM is the biggest MMA production in JAPAN, and their video production is LIGHT YEARS ahead of UFC!!!! FRANK the CRANK CAMACHO strives toward a goal, to be UFC CHAMPION, born in SAIPAN, he already holds a prestigious honor, A BJJ WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, he continues to strive with Lloyd IRVIN the most popular MMA school on the planet, check out his killer blog... http://crankeffect.com ... JOEY Quichocho of MUNGY TOWN AKA mangilao, fabricated an off road rig, went out to da states, entered the tuff truck challenge and almost raced himself into first place and a cover on OFF ROAD magazine. JQ ended up bringing in the winner and another friend to guam for our own race at SMOKIN WHEELZ...main event..... I slammed a GOPRO on the rig, and got the fresh mud splash from the mud run. JOEITO rips it, BOAT BASIN is his home. he recently won a surf tournament here and is a huge inspiration for young surfers on GUAM...I shot all of these artists and have shared little pieces of them with my youtube audience. Besides these artists, i have shot more artists, and their remains even more and more talented artists to shoot. All that being said, there is talent, lots of it, but now we have to show off that talent, not only to guam, but to the world, to all chamorros worldwide and to all other ethnicities, from the u.s. to asia and beyond, but especially the U.S. and asia because of our ties and position at 13*N 144*E. [***FOKAI****ROM...yah bro"] If we have the talent, but no one gets to see it, we lose out on the entertainment and the joy it brings to the people who view it. Now, in order to put our artists from Guam on the mainstream of entertainment worldwide our artists must continue to be their best, and do their best, amongst ourselves and  worldwide competition, either here on Guam or abroad. But that is not all, we need a producer/producers who can capture those stories, those artists and their talents, and give it back to the world in a manner so entertaining and enlightening to bring joy and inspiration to those who view it. In retrospect, we need talented artists doing big things, and we need  talented producers who can bring those big things to the mainstream, but we need even more than that...if we have the talented artists, and the talented producer, and they work well together, than we have something epic....now what we're gonna need is GUAM and the world's support, we need GUAM to sustain our ambitions, not just with moral support but with financial support, and to continue to provide our artists with opportunities to reach our biggest dreams and achieve our goals. That being said, i have ready-to-show six episodes of TV i have produced for GUAM. six 22 minute episodes. t.v. like no one has ever seen in the u.s. or here....a very new style of documentary, reality t.v. It is my art. i want to be that talented producer. if guam can support this vision, we will quicken the pace into mainstream entertainment otherwise, I may have to create my own website to offer these full episodes and other goods, or just slam them up on youtube. youtube pays up to 150 grand a year to their top players.....no, but really i want a guam t.v. show.what ya get on my youtube are just chips of the BOULDER....66 DEGREES compiled two years of footage from all the marianas, singapore, japan, asia, san diego, los angeles of the marianas' premier artist in the mainstream of entertainment,You want fighters...surfers....racers....photographers....musicians...models....beauty pageant contestants....writers*thats graff for yall don't know*...directors *ALEX MUNOZ* in los angeles at the LA FILM FEST reppin guam films on the big screen in HOLLYWOOD ***66 DEGREES. 66 got ENSON'S HOUSE in japan....wakin up with da FOKAI CREW....

Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of MTV's "Jackass," has died in a car crash. He was 34.

NBC Philadelphia reports that Dunn and another passendger died in a 3 a.m crash at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania.

The news of the death was confirmed by April Margera, mother of "Jackass" star Bam, in an interview with a local radio show. TMZ also confirmed with Margera.

Dunn posted to Twitter a photo of himself drinking with friends just hours before the crash.

A police report indicated that Dunn was most likely speeding in his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3, which was destroyed in the wreck. "Upon arrival, police located one vehicle in the road and in the woods that was fully engulfed in flames," the report said. "DUI" was not indicated in the report.

So often fearless, Dunn was perhaps best known for his parts in crashing golf carts and placing a toy car, in a condom, up his rectum in the original "Jackass" film. His "Jackass" co-star Johnny Knoxville spoke of his devastation at the news on Twitter.

"Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan , I love you buddy. say.ly/hUnqQQ," he wrote.

 “I have not been able to talk with Bam as he is in Arizona but I cannot believe that his friend is dead – I felt like I lost one of my own sons when I heard that Ryan Dunn had died," Margera said. “Ryan was a wonderful person he really was the sweetest and nicest guy - he was like my extra son, everybody loved him. He had a long term girlfriend and she will be absolutely devastated - she has turned off her phone just now. It’s just so sad we cannot believe Ryan has gone - I’m too upset to say anything else just now.”

He will truly be missed by many... RIP friend.

J4F: Danny not too many people know about the Apparatus Brand and its mission, can you please clarify it for us?

Appa:This is our mission statement:

everyone digs a fresh tee shirt. from the beach, to the tournament, to a bbq or just to

represent-- we recognize what the people want and apparatus is here to deliver.

while designing as a hobby since 2002, apparatus came about in 2006 and naturally fell into its own distinctive style. we come from a simplistic yet bold background. for us, less is more. apparatus is about representing island culture, brazilian jiu-jitsu and reggae as a lifestyle. our mission is simple: create clothing that embodies who we are and what we represent, all the while remembering our roots. always keeping it fresh, simple, and forever humble, the apparatus familia.

J4F: What exactly does Apparatus Brand stand for?

Appa: we stand for positivity we stand for people who are inspired. it’s not so much the brand but the movement behind the brand. the family, the sponsored, the culture, and the mission we represent. that is whats important to me. the name is an identifier, but themovement is more important.

J4F: Apparatus Brand is a hot, popular, up and coming clothing brand. I have seen many people sporting your tees and stickers; I even have a few shirts and stickers. What can you say about that? Did you expect the brand to grow as quick as it has?

Appa: thank you for the belief. to me, the brand has a lot of work to do. to me, it’s still very small but i believe it will get there with a lot of hard work, passion and dedication. this is my passion and a lifestyle i wanted to pursue for a very longtime, but with everything, life comes into play. but i am proud to say that today, i can finally pursue my dream. AppA will be here for a very longtime.

J4F: Danny there is stiff competition out there in regards to clothing brands. Most especially with competing island brands, what makes Apparatus Brand stick out?

Appa: very true. there are so many brands out there that i personally love as well. i guess with AppA, we try to be original with our designs and messages as much as we can, a lot of folks say that there is no originality today, but i disagree, we try to put a little of “us” into every design, into every tee. and i think folks can respect that. i have much respect for all the local brands out there doing they’re thing. they believe in their product and that’s all you need, is belief.

J4F: Who does Apparatus Brand cater to… is it generally for the island peeps or are we talking worldwide?

Appa: we cater to everyone, to me, if a person thinks the design is fresh, he/she will wear it no matter what. but we are definitely inspired by our island life, brazilian-jiu jitsu, and reggae as a lifestyle. thats what we love and represent.

J4F: Does Appa sponsor anyone at this time and how would those looking for

sponsorship get noticed?

Appa: we do sponsor, but we are so small and can’t wait to get to that level where we can pick up those athletes, musicians, and inspiring people who are doing their thing. believe me, we notice a lot of these folks who are a huge inspiration in what they do. we will get there one day.

 J4F: Danny where do you see yourself and Apparatus Brand in the next 10 years?

 Appa: i dont know where we’ll be but i do know we will continue pushing the brand because its a part of who we are and our lifestyle.

 J4F: What’s in store for your Apparatus supporters in the near future?

 Appa: plenty of things. we want to continue making fresh tees. and everything else in between, hats, stickers, quickdries, grappling shorts, rash guards, button downs and polos. hopefully we can get some gi’s made as well. the possibilities are endless. maybe even get into home decor, lol!

 J4F: Right on! Are there any collaboration projects with other companies or brands coming up that we should be looking out for?

 Appa: yes. we want to collab with a few brands out there. all local brands as well. from, guam, to hawaii, and cali. it will happen and it will be fresh! def. keep an eye out!

 J4F: What do you want Apparatus Brand to be best known for?

 Appa: for being original and humble. we want to promote what we love to the fullest and showmthe world what we believe in and be known as a positive brand.

 J4F: Who or what is the inspiration and motivation behind you and the brand?

Appa: the inspiration is from alot of things. from the old school brands on guam to the all the surf brands i used to wear back during school. they were all original and fresh. and I wanted to be a part of that movement. the motivation is trying to keep it all alive. growing up on guam, you had to have that fresh tee shirt to rock and always wanted to be the first to rock it. Lol!

 J4F: For people who are interested in purchasing Apparatus gear or have other questions, where or how can they reach you?

 Appa: right now, we are still working on our website (yes, for the past few months, lol) but as of now, you can email appabrand@gmail.com and let us know your size and style of tee. we take payments through paypal. we will help you with that through email as well. the site is close to being finished and will be up and running in no time!

 J4F: What advice do you have for other people with the same hopes of starting their own brand?

 Appa: all i have to say, is if you believe in it, do it. many people have great ideas, bring it to life my friends! show the world what you got! i support everyones dream.

 J4F: It’s been a please chatting with you Danny…. Any final words of wisdom, shout outs, etc?

 Appa: i just want to say a big thanks to my family. i am proud to be from Guam and growing up inspired by many people and things. a huge thanks to my brother Gerard, for helping make things happen, without him, there would be no brand. to my boys who believed in my dream. EGMT. to bear x shoyoroll, for supporting my dream and showing me the ropes a long time ago. mike carbullido for always representing and just4fun. and to everyone following their dreams, we only live once, why not make it a good one. train today for a better tomorrow. appa familia x forever humble

 J4F: Thank you again Danny and Apparatus Brand for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with us at Just4Fun. Danny we wish you all the luck and continued success with your brand. Appa is already making waves and turning heads! I personally want you to know that J4F has your back, if you need us for anything just let us know.

J4F: Tracey for those who do not know you well can you please tell us a little     about yourself?

Tracey: My name is Tracey Goodell and I am 23 yrs old. I was born and raised on   the island of Oahu. I love the ocean and jiu jitsu ofcourse!

J4F: What titles do you hold, how many years have you been training and what is your current belt?

Some of my titles:
Blue belt;
2008 Asian Open Leve Champion
2009 No Gi Pan Am Leve Champion
2010 Pan Am Leve & Open Class Champion
NY Open Leve & Open Class Champion
Brasileiro Leve Champion
Purple Belt;
2010 Worlds Leve & Open Class Champion

J4F: Tracey you train with some of the greats like Lloyd Irvin and Mike Fowler what do you have to say about them?

Tracey: It's an honor to train under someone like Master Lloyd and to have such great training partners/idols like Mike Fowler, JT Torres, Jimmy Harbison, Willie Leonard...to name a few. I met Mike Fowler through jiu jitsu, he introduced me to Master Lloyd and I never looked back. These names that I have mentioned are hard working people on the jiu jistu world. They train like champions to become champions. Enough Said....

J4F: What does jiu jitsu mean to you, what do you love the most about BJJ?

Tracey: Jiu Jitsu to me means everything, it's what I do. I love the competitive aspect of it, knowing that when you step on the mat with your opponent, it's show time. Your teammates and coaches have helped you prepare for that moment and it’s your time to shine.

J4F: There are many more women training BJJ because of your accomplishments what words of advice do you have for them to continue following their goals and staying motivated?

Tracey: Words of advice never give up and give it your all!! You will come across hardships and bumps in your road that you think will ruin everything. Keep your head high and train harder. Nobody said it would be easy...Every time you train; train like it's a match! No time for bs!

J4F: Who do you look up to and who are your favorite MMA or BJJ stars?

Tracey: I look up to a lot of people, Master Lloyd, Mike Fowler, Master Donnie, JT Torres and many more from Team Lloyd Irvin. My teammates are my favorite BJJ stars! As for MMA, Brandon and Kerry Vera!!

J4F: In your opinion what would attract more women into the world of BJJ and MMA?

Tracey: In my opinion, the only thing that can attract more women to these sports is women! When younger girls/women have idols and starts they can look up to, I think it's easier for them to do the sport. They see that women do it too and are good at it! It gives them motivation.

J4F: My website is all about what people love to do on their spare time, aside from BJJ what do you do Just4Fun?

Tracey: Just4Fun I like to go to the beach, anything to do with the ocean and outdoors! I also enjoy watching jiu jitsu videos! Who doesn't?!

Social Media: Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse

This is no joke everyone... This is a serious article that was published on a government website. This either means that the government is warning us about something that they fucked up on or they are working on something that may cause such an epidemic, you decide.

The following was originally posted on CDC Public Health Matters Blog on May 16th, 2011 by Ali S. Khan.

There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.

A Brief History of Zombies
We’ve all seen at least one movie about flesh-eating zombies taking over (my personal favorite is Resident Evil), but where do zombies come from and why do they love eating brains so much? The word zombie comes from Haitian and New Orleans voodoo origins. Although its meaning has changed slightly over the years, it refers to a human corpse mysteriously reanimated to serve the undead. Through ancient voodoo and folk-lore traditions, shows like the Walking Dead were born.

In movies, shows, and literature, zombies are often depicted as being created by an infectious virus, which is passed on via bites and contact with bodily fluids. Harvard psychiatrist Steven Schoolman wrote a (fictional) medical paper on the zombies presented in Night of the living dead and refers to the condition as Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome caused by an infectious agent. The Zombie survival guide identifies the cause of zombies as a virus called solanum. Other zombie origins shown in films include radiation from a destroyed NASA Venus probe (as in Night of the living dead, as well as mutations of existing conditions such as prions, mad cow-disease, measles and rabies.

The rise of zombies in pop culture has given credence to the idea that a zombie apocalypse could happen. In such a scenario zombies would take over entire countries, roaming city streets eating anything living that got in their way. The proliferation of this idea has led many people to wonder “How do I prepare for a zombie apocalypse?”

Well, we’re here to answer that question for you, and hopefully share a few tips about preparing for real emergencies too!

Better Safe than Sorry

So what do you need to do before zombies…or hurricanes or pandemics for example, actually happen? First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house. This includes things like water, food, and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp (or in the event of a natural disaster, it will buy you some time until you are able to make your way to an evacuation shelter or utility lines are restored). Below are a few items you should include in your kit, for a full list visit the CDC Emergency page.

• Water (1 gallon per person per day)
• Food (stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly)
• Medications (this includes prescription and non-prescription meds)
• Tools and Supplies (utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.)
• Sanitation and Hygiene (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.)
• Clothing and Bedding (a change of clothes for each family member and blankets)
• Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)
• First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a tornado or hurricane.

Once you’ve made your emergency kit, you should sit down with your family and come up with an emergency plan. This includes where you would go and who you would call if zombies started appearing outside your door step. You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake, or other emergency.

1. Identify the types of emergencies that are possible in your area. Besides a zombie apocalypse, this may include floods, tornadoes, or earthquakes. If you are unsure contact your local Red Cross chapter for more information.
2. Pick a meeting place for your family to regroup in case zombies invade your home…or your town evacuates because of a hurricane. Pick one place right outside your home for sudden emergencies and one place outside of your neighborhood in case you are unable to return home right away.
3. Identify your emergency contacts. Make a list of local contacts like the police, fire department, and your local zombie response team. Also identify an out-of-state contact that you can call during an emergency to let the rest of your family know you are ok.
4. Plan your evacuation route. When zombies are hungry they won’t stop until they get food (i.e., brains), which means you need to get out of town fast! Plan where you would go and multiple routes you would take ahead of time so that the flesh eaters don’t have a chance! This is also helpful when natural disasters strike and you have to take shelter fast.

Never Fear – CDC is Ready

If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation. This assistance might include consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine). It’s likely that an investigation of this scenario would seek to accomplish several goals: determine the cause of the illness, the source of the infection/virus/toxin, learn how it is transmitted and how readily it is spread, how to break the cycle of transmission and thus prevent further cases, and how patients can best be treated. Not only would scientists be working to identify the cause and cure of the zombie outbreak, but CDC and other federal agencies would send medical teams and first responders to help those in affected areas (I will be volunteering the young nameless disease detectives for the field work).
