The revival of the GTO system (an acronym in Russian which translates as “Ready for Work and Defense”) could bring major benefits to the country, said Putin, according to a transcript published on the Kremlin’s official website:

You said...
“Don’t look it up.”

Too late. I did. All I can say they definitely enjoy the same “diet.”

I know Stephen's personal cook from when he lived in Eads, Tenn. He needs to rehire her, if she would ever go back to work for him.

He could be changing his appearance to play an upcoming role, but as with others who have gone through such a dramatic outer change as he has, I suspect Master Seagal has need of more than just a cook.

Oh my God, that is terrible! That is definitely a stand in. They only use Seagal for head shots.

The Russians seem to be taking Rodney Dangerfield's advice in "Back to School"...."If you want to look thin, you hang around fat people."
