Reel
Critique
Do It for Uncle Manny
Directed by Adam Baratta
Starring Adam Baratta, Shane
Edelman and Kari Wurher
Shane Edelman and Adam
Baratta play Danny and Stuart,
two college friends who are
reunited at Stuart's producer-
uncle Manny's mansion in
Hollywood.
Danny is a struggling actor
currently waiting tables to
make ends meet and Shane
has not had a date in three
years.
The two young men head
for a night on the town in
Uncle Manny's Rolls-Royce
and with his Rolex.
Some of the funniest
moments in the film are
Stuart's tantrums when he
realizes the watch, which cost
$250,000, has been stolen
and his "suave" moves while
trying to pick up girls at a
nightclub.
A series of mishaps and
misunderstandings lead the
guys to spend an entire day
chasing a watch, "seducing"
maitre d' Colin Mochrie of
"Who's Line is it Anyway?"
and getting their car fixed by
a stoned mechanic played by
Danny Nucci.
Nucci plays the typical
Cheech and Chong character
perfectly.
Louie Anderson makes an
unforgettable appearance in
the movie as a tow truck
driver who mistakes
and Stuart for Jon F
and Vince Vaugh
Swingers.

According to the TAMOR
constitution, to become a mem
ber of A&M Off-Road, one
must view a club safety video
and receive a TAMOR sticker
before they take to the roads.
Off-roading can be very dan
gerous and many precautions
must be taken to ensure the
driver and passenger’s safety.
“Sometime in the fall
semester of 1999, we were at
Devil’s Den in San Antonio,”
Wolverton said. “One of the
club members was going to try
and go up a hill after a couple
of others had tried it by spin
ning their tires. He said he was
going to go until he started
spinning his tires. As he
ascended the hill, his tires
never started spinning. He
ended up rolling end-over-end
and side-over-side a couple of
times. He had to be taken to
the hospital, along with the
passenger. Thankfully, both of
them were OK.”

What if I want to become pregnant after using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive
Injection?
Because DEPO-PROVERA is a long-acting birth control method, it takes some time after your last
injection for its effect to wear off Based on the results from a large study done in the United States,
for women who stop using DEPO-PROVERA in order to become pregnant, it is expected that
about half of those who become pregnant will do so in about 10 months after their last injection;
about two thirds of those who become pregnant will do so in about 12 months; about 83% of
those who become pregnant will do so in about 15 months; and about 93% of those who become
pregnant will do so in about 18 months after their last injection The length of time you use
DErO-PROVERA has no effect on how long it takesvou to' become pregnant after you stop using it
What are the risks of using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?
I Irregular Menstrual Bleeding
The side effect reported most frequently by women who use DEPO-PROVERA for
contraception is a change in their normal menstrual cycle. During the first year of using
DEPO-PROVERA. you might have one or more of the following changes irregular or
unpredictable bleeding or spotting, an increase or decrease in menstrual bleeding, or no bleeding
at all. Unusually heavy or continuous bleeding, however, is not a usual effect of DtPO-PROVERA;
and if this happens, you should see your heaih-care provider right away With continued use of
DEPO-PROVtRA. bleeding usually decreases, and many women stop having periods completely
In clinical studies of DEPO-PROVERA, 55% of the women studied reported no menstrual
bleeding (amenorrhea) after I year of use, and 68% of the women studied reported no menstrual
bleeding after 2 years of use. The reason that your periods stop is because DEPO-PROVERA
causes a resting state in your ovaries.- When your ovaries do not release an egg monthly, the
regular monthly growth of the lining of your uterus does not odcur and, therefore, the bleeding
that comes with your normal menstruation does not take place. When you stop using

Who should not use DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?
Not all women should use DEPO-PROVERA You should not use DEPO-PROVEPA if you h ive
any of the following conditions:
• if you think you might be pregnant
• if you have any vaginal bleeding without a known rea ■ -n
tnai comes wnn your normal menstruation does not take place, wnen you st
DEPO-PROVERA your menstrual period will usually, in time, return to rts normal cycle
2 Bone Mineral Changes
Use of DEPO-PROVERA may be associated with a decrease in the amount of mineral stored in
your bones. This could increase your risk of developing bone fractures. The rate of bone mineral
loss is greatest in the early years of DEPO-PROVEPA use, but after that, it begins to resemble the
normal rate of age-related bone mineral loss.
3 Career
Studies of women who have used different forms of contraception found that women who used
DEPO-PROVERA for contraception had no increased overall risk of developing cancer of the
breast, ovary, uterus, cervix, or liver. However, women und$r 35 years of age whose first exposure
■ to DEPO-PROVERA was within the previous 4 to 5 years may have a slightly increased risk of
developing breast cancer smilar to that seen with oral contraceptives You should discuss this with
your health-care provider.
4 Unexpected Pregnancy
Because DEPO-PROVERA i$ such an effective conti' ac Qptive method, the risk of accidental
pregnancy for women who get their shots regularly (every 3 months [I 3 weeks]) is very low
While there have been reports of an increased risk of low birth weight and neonatal infant death
or other health problems in infants conceived close to the time of injection, such pregnancies are
uncommon If you think you may have become pregnant whi,e usin g DEPO-PROVERA for
contraception, see your health-care provider as soon a$ Possible.
5Allergic Reactions
Some'women using DEPO-PROVERA Contracepti'/e Injection have reported severe and
potentially life-threatening allergic reactions known as an aphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions.
Symptoms include the sudden onset of hives or swelling and itching of the skin, breathing
difficulties, and a drop in blood pressure.

4 Nursing Mothers
Although DEPO-PROVERA can be passed to the nursing infant in the breast milk, no
effects nave been found in these children DEPO-PROVEKA does not prevent the brea
