This year has been one of the most epic yet… and my partnership with Rogaine has definitely been one of my favorites of 2017. Getting the conversation going around hair loss was scary at first but after getting to speak with so many of you over the past few months, it’s made the stigma around it non-existent, so thank you all for your amazing emails, comments, and DMs asking me some important questions. I hope to keep this journey going through 2018 since I’ve seen some great results and so have many of you so keep the questions and comments coming!

Now, the end of year isn’t all about serious self-reflecting and goal-setting, it’s also about spending time with family, eating lots of mom’s home cooked meals, and of course and endless amount of holiday parties. And with holiday parties, comes holiday style… more specifically, holiday hairstyles!

What’s worked for me is finding the best product for your type of hair. All of which are safe to use with Rogaine Unscented Foam to keep on your regimen going strong! Now these are just some grooming tools I’ve learned to work for my hair so definitely try them all out and see what works for you!

The Sleek Look
If you’re going to a super formal party then you have to match your hairstyle to your tux and the sleek look is definitely the way to go. For this, you need a high-shine, firm hold product. This calls for a solid hair gel that doesn’t flake… the non-flaking part is important so you don’t end up looking like you were caught in a snowstorm! Using a comb, apply a small amount of gel onto your damp hair and glide through your hair combing your hair in one direction. If you can get a good part in your hair, you’ll look extra sharp!

The Messy Look
Now this one can be tricky. You don’t want to look like you just rolled out of bed. It’s more of a “my hair just naturally falls this cool” kind of look so be careful! This one is a two-step process to get the best results. First, use a lightweight styling cream and work a small amount of it into your damp hair. This helps control frizz and static to give a more purposely messy effect. Second, work a bit of pomade onto your almost dry hair to give the hold. Pomade is pliable and low-shine so it still lets your hair move and give that lived-in look you’re going for.

The Chunky Look
This style is right there in between the super formal sleek look and the messier, casual vibe. The chunky look is my daily go-to and is most manageable for my coarse hair. This one is a two part process but still super quick. Find a good texturizing or salt spray. This lightweight mist gives your hair some serious texture. Once you’re hair is completely dry, work a small amount of wax onto your fingertips and start to work into your hair separating and texturing pieces. The wax, spray combo will hold everything in place and separated to give a cool textured feel.

I hope these styles work for you guys and gets you prepped for the holidays. I can’t wait to continue this conversation with Rogaine educating myself, and hopefully all of you. If I haven’t heard from you guys that are on this journey with me, definitely reach out and let me know how it’s worked for you!

I’m always on the prowl for new denim – really, who isn’t!? It’s definitely the one thing in my closet that stays in there for months [sometimes years] so when I find a good brand to invest in, I stay pretty loyal. Joe’s Jeans is definitely one of those brands that has evolved into my style arsenal since I was in college and has stuck with me.

I’m definitely into the slimmer styles lately but it’s the denim wash that is always changing for me, depending on my style mood. It’s only season appropriate that I’ve been gravitating towards darker indigo hues which is why I’ve loved breaking in The Brixton, which is a straight and narrow style, in ‘Halford’ by Joe’s Jeans. It’s not all about the wash though. The fit has to be spot on for me. Since I’m definitely on the thicker side in my legs, this style fit is perfect for me with a straight fit across the hips and slim from the thigh to the hem.

Definitely head over to Zappos.com and see the full assortment of styles and test out a pair for yourself. The best part is, with Zappos orders you have fast and easy shipping options and if the style isn’t your best fit, you can return and try out another pair! It’s as simple as that!

I've been traveling a lot lately between warm and cold weather spots. While packing for these trips is always hard to organize, the easiest way to be prepared is light layers. Piecing together outfits with lighter pieces, like this combo here, not only has me covered but gives me the chance to combine textures and colors.

While sticking to mostly earth tones for fall is my go-to, I always like to try different textures to make an almost basic outfit a little more interesting. Cashmere is just about the best thing to invest in during the chillier months. It's one of those layers that can be transitional depending on how you layer but will always be on trend every season. Speaking of investments, a leather jacket is vital. For me, this one from Diesel [similar one here] has been an addiction for years and only gets better with wear. I put together a few of my favorite layering pieces below so feel free to scroll through and combine your own style!

With the holiday season fast approaching – yea, I can’t believe it’s already that time of the year again either – I’m always looking for some cool gadgets that I can gift to some of my best friends and even myself. While everyone has their own style and wish-lists, I always try to find those universal tools that will make every days tasks easier and quicker! I mean, we’re all in a rush aren’t we!?

For me, shaving is one of those weekly tasks that I always have to schedule out. It’s never just a quick few minutes and instead always turns into a step by step process I have to take in order to not only stay on schedule, but to do properly. Thankfully, this week I was introduced to the Panasonic ARC5 Premium 5-Blade Electric Shaver, which is beautifully designed to give an efficient, close shave in a matter of minutes… Cutting out all that prep time that always annoys me!

It’s built with shaving sensor technology that detects your personal hair density and adjusts the motors speed accordingly giving you a better shave without those annoying pulls that some electric shavers give. The 5-blade system is made up of super sharp Nanotech™ blades combined with a foil pattern guard that is designed to catch each hair as it passes the surface. If that’s not enough, it’s even waterproof so you can really utilize your shower time when getting ready for a busy day without losing any benefits of a clean, close shave!

If you’re like me and completely addicted to Amazon, the Panasonic Arc5 is available for purchase there which is where I do most of my daily shopping for some super quick shipping and some great deals! Definitely head over to Panasonic to check out all the cool features this tool has to offer though. It’s an investment worth getting into!

In my continued collaboration with Rogaine, we decided to take a little break from talking about hair-loss. No matter big or small, thinning hair is an issue every single person faces, as we get older. We all see signs of some level of hair loss due to shrinking follicles – it’s in all of our DNA! It’s inevitable but not impossible to prevent if you catch the signs soon enough. As you may have seen in my previous Rogaine posts, the #1 dermatologist-recommended hair regrowth brand is the answer to so many of our hair-loss issues and has been proven to work. No other topical treatment has been proven to work better for fuller, thicker hair rejuvenation!

While our DNA determines so many of our physical features, it does not have to define who we are as individuals. ‘Defying Your DNA’ with Rogaine is especially important to me because we all need some outside words of encouragement and so many of you have reached out to me asking about my workout regimen. A regimen that not only helps me feel physically healthy, but also mentally.

For me, fitness is exactly how I defy my DNA. No amount of DNA can stop us from reaching our fitness goals. No matter if it’s losing or gaining weight, being in professional athlete-level form, or even just wanting to feel healthier, our fitness goals are our own and no one else’s. Growing up I was never particularly athletic. While I joined in on many sports, I never utilized fitness and the benefits that come along with it. No matter your hereditary background, fitness can help us all become a better version of ourselves be it physical or mental. Today, I’ve learned that working out can help me to become physically stronger [I never was able to get those biceps I wanted back in high school lol] but also more focused mentally. Just getting some form of exercise every day, my mood is boosted which keeps my mind focused on the days tasks and even long-term goals. It even helps get my energy level consistent throughout the day… which is definitely my favorite part and a huge reason why I get to the gym daily. Today, I know I defy my DNA and only my own motivation can stop me.

I remind myself of all of this every day when building up the determination to working out but some great tunes always help with that extra push I need! I like to update my workout play-lists weekly to keep me motivated so follow me on Spotify HERE and check back every week to get some great new tunes! In the mean time, enjoy this weeks below… I hope it helps you as much as it does me!!

I always love traveling between busy work weeks. As much as I love being in Los Angeles, it’s always nice to leave the hustle and get into some more laid back environments and experience some changes in weather. That’s why I was so excited to book a last minute trip to North Carolina to get a real feel for fall up in the Blue Ridge Mountains!

Seeing as how I’ve gotten rid of most of my fall-wear, I was super excited to partner with Zappos and Steve Madden for this trip! With fast, free shipping, I knew I wouldn’t have any issues with getting my new Steve Madden Aziz Boots in time for the trip… a much needed pair for fall!

If you ever travel to North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Mountains are a must! Beautiful fall foliage, breathtaking hikes, and some delicious food and drinks will instantly draw you in. I visited the Biltmore Estate which was a summer house for the Vanderbilt family over a hundred years ago. I spent the entire day trekking the palatial grounds in my Steve Maddens to really put them to the test.

The results – comfort and style with every step! I love the rich colors of tan leather, which will only get better with ware. Either dressed up or dressed down, these guys are super versatile which is always important to me when purchasing footwear. Definitely head over to Zappos.com and see the huge assortment of Steve Madden kicks and get prepped for any season, occasion, and adventure!

I’ve been a huge fan of Armani Exchange for as long as I could remember. Even as far back as elementary school I can remember shopping the gear and feeling so cool styling up the pieces. They’ve always been the consistent cool factor that I’ve aspired to have even until today. That’s why I’m super excited to partner with the brand and Macy’s to showcase their latest capsule collection only available in Macy’s stores and Macy’s online!

With some serious rocker vibes, the collection has a full range of tees, denim, and outerwear to outfit you from head to toe. I love the bolt and star details throughout the collection pieces. The Lightning Stretch Bomber is what first caught my eye so I used it as an anchor for the entire outfit. Contrasted with a cool metal lightning Graphic-Print Tee and some Ripped Jeans for some texture and I was set. The collection is all so cohesive so choosing items that created one cool outfit was a no brainer and are easily all interchangeable to mix and match. The Hidden Laces Sneaks, Armani Exchange too of course, are almost sold out so definitely get into them ASAP!

It's been nothing but heatwave after heatwave here in Los Angeles! As much as I love summer, I'm not about this 104 degree weather. Seems like all I've done this week is figure out how to stay indoors with the minimal amount of sun on my skin... and honestly, I've been so productive because of it. Those emails I've been replying to thanks you global warming!

I discovered these shades from my Canadian friends that all have such cool style. It was no surprise when I found out one of them actually owns the brand they were all styling. Still brand new, Blank and Blue has both apparel and accessories and even though they're Canadian, they give some cool Cali vibes that I've given into since moving West. These shades I'm wearing are the 'Extra Sunny Aviator Sunglasses' but make sure you check out everything the brand has to offer over on their site! Things are selling out fast so hurry!

Lesser known British holiday destinations 1

Lesser known British holiday destinations 1

Today we’ll talk about lesser known British holiday destinations that many might not have heard of, but that are absolutely worth your time.

Woolacombe in North Devon

The Woolacombe Village beach is unexpectedly a three-mile stretch of golden sand on the sunny coast of North Devon. England isn’t exactly the place one thinks of as a great destination to go sunbathing, however it is an ideal spot for other water-sport activities such as sailing, canoeing and windsurfing.  The village itself has a lot of activities to offer as well, not to mention a plethora of great restaurants, and don’t forget that while here you’ll be within reaching distance of North Devon’s natural attractions, rare maritime heathland, hidden coves and two national parks.

Brighton in East Sussex

The period architecture and wonderful coastal location make Brighton a very captivating holiday spot. There are lots to do on the shingle beach as well as visiting the George IV’s Royal pavilion to get a bit of history. Families will love this place because the Pavilion grounds house the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, which offers regular family events and children’s workshops. While here you can take a ride on the world’s oldest operating electric railway and visit Brighton Sea Life.

Bamburgh in Northumberland

Bamburgh is located between the silvery sea and the green countryside. Shortlisted for one of Britain’s best beaches, the massive Bamburgh beach is just one of the attractions of this place. The local pubs, restaurants and especially holiday cottages attract lots of visitors, and no English vacation spot is complete without some form of imposing fortification, Bamburgh has a 12th century monolith built on a basalt crag.

These are just a few of the many more little known British holiday destinations that you can be reaching this next holiday season, make sure you employ our United Kingdom car hire services and get to these places and others on your own schedule.

Einfluss von Aerosolschichten auf die Strahlungsbilanz

Determination of the direct solar radiative effect based on lidar-derived input parameters

The direct aerosol effect on the Earth's radiation budget is discussed since the late 1960's [e.g., McCormick and Ludwig, 1967]. The effect can be determined at top of atmosphere (TOA), the surface, or at any altitude in the atmospheric column by, e. g., measuring the upward (upwardarrow) and downward (downwardarrow) irradiances (FReal) at a certain altitude and compare them to modeled irradiances (FAerosol Free) that represent aerosol-free conditions:

The difference gives the solar aerosol radiative effect ( Δ F, in the solar range). Δ F < 0 at the TOA indicates an increase of escaping irradiance, i. e., a solar radiative cooling of the atmospheric column caused by aerosols. At the surface Δ F < 0 means a net loss of solar radiation (i.e., cooling) of the atmosphere.

First radiative-transfer calculations with height-resolved data from lidar

To our knowledge, Wagner et al. [2001] presented the first radiative-transfer calculations that directly included height-resolved aerosol information derived from lidar. Single-scattering albedo and asymmetry parameter were inverted using the derived optical properties from 3+2 lidar measurements during INDOEX [Müller et al., 1999].

calculations with libRadtran

Recently, we perform radiative-transfer calculations with the UVSPEC program [Kylling, 1992] of the libRadtran library version 1.6 (link)  to calculate the broadband solar downward and upward irradiances at the surface and TOA to derive the solar aerosol radiative effect [Mayer and Kylling, 2005]. The libRadtran library includes the discrete ordinate solver DISORT version 2.0 [Stamnes et al., 1988] and the spectral integration by the correlated-k approximation [Kato et al., 1999]. DISORT has been applied with sixteen streams with respect to the built-in bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) [Cox and Munk,1954] for the surface albedo. Solar zenith angles were determined from position and time [Blanco-Muriel et al., 2001]. Particle and cloud-free atmospheric conditions are described with standard atmospheres implemented in libRadtran [Anderson et al., 1986] regarding trace gases and radiosonde or GDAS1 profiles of pressure, temperature, and relative humidity. Vertically resolved aerosol conditions were included in terms of the lidar-derived extinction profiles. Single scattering albedo (SSA) and asymmetry parameter (g) have been taken from the literature [Dubovik et al., 2002, Heinold et al., 2011; Müller et al., 2011]. At TROPOS we compare the results of the radiative-transfer simulations with Meteosat Second Generation and coincident pyranometer measurements.

Fig 1: Mean solar aerosol radiative effect at the top of atmosphere (TOA, top) and surface (bottom) for different latitudinal belts as determined from libRadtran simulations on the basis of lidar observations performed during three transatlantic cruises of Polarstern in 2009 and 2010 as input for the vertical aerosol distribution. Black filled circles show simulation results including free-tropospheric and boundary-layer aerosol. Magenta diamonds show results of simulations with only boundary–layer aerosol.

Accounting for aerosol mixtures in lofted aerosol layers: A case study from Kanitz et al., 2013 b

During the Polarstern cruise ANT-XXVI/4 extended lofted aerosol layers were observed off the west coast of northern Africa from 8–21N, 23W(over 1400 km) between 30April 2010 and 5May 2010. The analyzed lidar measurement showed mean extinction–related Angström exponents of 0.8. The particle linear depolarization ratio was, on average, 21-22% which indicates the presence of non–spherical dust particles. Nevertheless, the layer mean Angström exponent was higher than the typical value for pure dust (of around 0), and the 355-nm particle linear depolarization ratio was smaller than the pure–dust values of >26% [Freudenthaler et al., 2009; Groß et al., 2011 b]. Mean lidar ratios of 59–61 sr at 355nm were in the range of pure–dust–related lidar ratios of 48-70 sr and mixed-dust-related lidar ratios of 57-98 sr [Groß et al., 2011 b]. After Tesche et al. [2009], the fractions of dust and smoke were determined on the basis of the particle linear depolarization ratio to be 0.7 and 0.3. Three different scenarios were assumed in the radiative-transfer simulations. Calculations were performed for lofted layers of pure dust or pure smoke in the presence of a pure marine MBL (cases 1 and 2). In addition, for case 3 the mixing ratio of smoke and dust in the free troposphere was set to 30%:70% as derived with lidar. Furthermore, a mixed MBL with a dust and marine particle fraction of each 50% was assumed, reflecting the observed comparably high AOT of the MBL and the significantly enhanced depolarization at the top of the MBL [Groß et al., 2011 a; Kanitz et al., 2013 a].

Solar irradiance observed (black) and modeled (colored lines for cases
1, 2, 3 at the surface on 1May 2010.

Figure 2 shows the observed irradiance (black line) at the surface on 1May 2010 from 6:00 to 18:00UTC. Simplified calculations for non-mixed aerosol layers (cases 1 and 2, blue and orange lines) are presented, too. In between is the modeled irradiance that includes a MBL with a fraction of 50% dust and a lofted layer with a smoke fraction of 30% (case 3, red line) as suggested from the lidar analysis. The modeled irradiance for an aerosol-free atmosphere (green) is highest. The simulation of a mixed lofted layer that includes 30% smoke (red, case 3) agrees well with the measured incident irradiance. In the case of a pure dust layer the modeled irradiance is slightly higher than the measured irradiance (case 1, underestimated absorption), whereas it is too low when only a pure smoke layer is considered (case 2, overestimated absorption).

Lidar data as validation information for radiative-transfer calculations

In the framework of the SAMUM campaign Otto et al. [2009] performed dust-particle-shape-dependent (approximations by spheroids) radiative-transfer calculations and used lidar measurements to evaluate the results with profiles of backscatter and extinction coefficients. Heinold et al. [2011] modeled dust and biomass-burning smoke emissions in North Africa to determine their radiative effect during long.range transport. The modeled properties of the mixture of dust and biomass-burning smoke were validated with lidar measurements.

Dear members,
Greetings from Geneva, Switzerland. I am Sagar Khavnekar and I am working with a Swiss Fishing reel maker as a part of my business training. We are makers of advanced and next-generation fly fishing reels here in Geneva. We are planning to enter global market and would like to know your valuable opinion. Hence I would like to ask if you could complete our survey on fly fishing reels. Your name is optional but will allow us to offer you an early bird discount when we enter the market.

Looking forward to your views and opinions.
Best regards and happy fishing!

this must be a 'phly phishing 'post...'

bad pun day, 39 degrees out, driving rain, and high winds on the 'opener' weekend has me pretty sour.

wait it out and see about next weekend,

this must be a 'phly phishing 'post...'

I completed the survey and there are many questions. I think the makers are going to market a graphite composite reel (or some other lighter than metal synthetic)

They ask for comments on many of the questions towards the end of the survey and I pointedly told them that many guys with adequate disposable income and an eye for the finer things are not going to buy a composite reel at least not any that look like the ones I have seen.

Big maker rods like Sage, Loomis, and Winston are getting to the point where many of their buyers just won't be able to afford a new rod. Notwithstanding that though many guys already have amassed a nice collection of $400 - $700 fly rods and aren't likely to be putting a $50 graphite reel onto that rod.

One of the questions was quite funny in that it asked "would you buy this reel if it had a GPS, compass, and counter built into it?" I told them that none of my friends or acquaintances would likely be running to buy that reel.

I looked over your website, read the info available, and I'm not all that interested in the product you are representing. Nothing personal, no offense intended but I will stick with reels I'm familiar with or at least heard about vs. an unfamiliar brand with no prices listed or track record to speak of.

I am really impressed with the Lamson Liquid line lately (there's that alliteration thing again) and I can stop by my local Fly Shop for this brand and support the local economy at the same time.

Tight lines, and do you personally use the reel you are selling for your fishing? Just curious...

Blogger Fast

Bezalel // 6:55 PM //
A blogger-fast is a break taken from blogging intentionally or not.

It may be because of stuff that I'm fighting through or maybe I get swamped with work or maybe my body finally decides to force me to sleep all the time because 3 hours of sleep per day for a week is not so good? (Who would have guessed :P )

Anyways, I hope to take as few of these fasts as possible... but if I do, hopefully, the years worth of God inspired posts can keep you busy for a while.

During these fasts, I usually am trying to "Get back on track", live more holy, and read my Bible and pray hard. #GottaBeAGoodSteward

Pray for me. Pray for Lecrae. Pray for all God's ministers. We do the same for you guys. We need God's grace to remain faithful on the front-line ;). Thanks fam :D.

Isle of Man regulated fund structure scheme unveiled

International Adviser
By International Adviser  16-Jul-2010

The Isle of Man has introduced a new regulated fund structure to meet increasing demand from providers and investors for schemes with high levels of regulatory oversight.

View a printer-friendly version of this article»

The fund type, which can be listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and does not carry a statutory minimum investment level, has a number of requirements by which fund managers and promoters must abide.

These include investment risk, risk management, limits on hedging and borrowing, as well as numerous further rules, compliance with which is monitored by Isle of Man regulator the Financial Supervision Commission (FSC).

John Aspden, chief executive of the FSC, said: “I view this as a flagship product underlining the quality of the fund range the Isle of Man can offer.”

He added: “The level of regulatory oversight combined with the additional requirements placed on parties acting for the fund mean the regulated fund is not subject to the mandatory entry criteria [minimum €100,000 ($123,000)] which are imposed on less regulated funds in order to ensure that they are not sold in a retail context.”

The island has also relaunched its specialist and qualifying fund types, introducing greater flexibility for managers and scheme promoters A fourth fund type, authorised funds, are the most tightly regulated and so most retail-friendly structure available in the Isle of Man.

Budgeting for Car Glass Replacement

In April 20, 2017

Car glass replacement

Budgeting for auto repairs means you should prepare for as many issues as possible. While your budget may have enough room for a new transmission or brakes, you might not be properly budgeting for car glass replacement. It doesn’t have to be first on your priority list, but you shouldn’t skimp when it comes to budgeting for auto glass repair.

Buy Smart Now to Save Money Later

The best way to cushion your wallet from unnecessary car glass replacement costs is to start on the right foot before an accident happens. If you buy a car from the dealership, the glass is from the dealer and therefore has the correct specifications for your vehicle. If you buy from a private owner, you need to have the glass checked by a professional before driving the vehicle.

Perhaps the last driver replaced the glass on his or her own, creating the risk of improper installation and glass vibrations. Maybe the owner did not bother repairing cracks and chips at all. When you take the time to ensure the safety and integrity of your auto glass from the beginning, you’ll save money on major repairs in the future.

Keep a Suitable Emergency Fund

Calculating a proper emergency fund and taking steps toward reaching the goal can give you ultimate peace of mind. Preparing for the future means when a car glass replacement is necessary, you won’t be blind-sided by the cost.

There is no one number for how much you should have in your auto emergency fund, since it depends on your vehicle. Generally, people budget the equivalent of 5 percent of the value of their cars saved for emergencies. For a higher-end model, priced at $30,000, that means you should have at least $1,500 for emergencies. In a $5,000 used vehicle, count on having about $250 for emergencies.

Understand Your Car Glass Replacement Options

While having the BMW logo on your replacement windshield is tempting, you don’t necessarily have to buy auto glass from the dealer or even from an original equipment manufacturer distributer. Many vehicle owners opt for aftermarket auto glass to cut costs. Aftermarket glass may not be made to the exact specs your original glass was made to, although it will be cheaper.

Car glass replacement costs vary depending on the situation, but you can ensure the most bang for your buck by comparing local price estimates. Never settle for a company that won’t give you an estimate beforehand – you may be stuck paying much more than at a different company. Smart budgeters shop around and choose the lowest-cost car glass replacement available to suit their needs. Weigh the cost vs. value of your replacement, and make sure you’re getting the best quality for your money.

Trust a Reputable Auto Glass Company

When you need car glass replacement you can trust, come to Glass Works Auto Glass in Tulsa. Our technicians can guarantee high-quality crack and chip repair and replacement. We offer free price estimates, so you can make sure you get the best deal in town.

  • Kahndo Craziness

    An amazing episode with some of the funniest moments in KOTH history. I love the part where everyone thinks they are the reason the police have come to get them and are flushing things down the toilet, as well as Dale running away when they could have easily made it across the boarder. Everyone in this episode was hilarious and the overall plot was really funny too. Another classic KOTH!
  • sjajfdagasgjadskglsgdslkgdksjglkdsjgdsjgdsjgkljdslgjdskljglksdjglkdsglksdlkdjgkdsgjdskgjdlsdjglkdslgdsdgds

    I thought that this was both a funny and an educational episode. It was fun to watch all the different situations Hank and Kahn found themself in. Me and my freind Fredik laughed so hard that we had to call an amulanse. It was fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun. I also learned about how hard it is to get in to the USA illegal. I think that Hank and Kahn got some sympathie for the immigrants from Mexico after they went through this. This is 103 words.

    Peace out:)

  • the Hill family and the Kahn family goes to Mexico and gets thrown into a strange adventure including a sniff of the mexican culture and a little hint of what it's like being an immigrant.

    this was my first episode of King of the Hill, and I found that it was quite simular to the concept of Family Guy. this is a type of series that I find hillarious, and I enjoied it very much. I feel that King of the Hill, like some other tv-series helps take away the ignorance when it comes to racism and "different" kinds of people by sort of making fun of them in a nice way. so that we laugh with them, and not of them.
    I recommend King of the Hill to everyone who want and needs a laugh, and who understands "dirty" humor.

  • Three Days of the Kahndo takes the Hill family to Mexico along with their beloved neighbors: The Souphanousinphones.

    Three Days of the Kahndo puts the two families together for a weekend in a Mexican rental condominium. Things get a little close for comfort and in a remarkable chain of events, Hank, Dale and Kahn end up alone and stranded on the wrong side of the border. In a subplot, Bobby and Connie purchase the biggest firecracker ever made for retail sale!

    Hank and Kahn don't always get along but this situation calls for a meeting of the minds. No one knows this yet but Kahn is the reason for every bad turn of events this entire weekend for the guys. Oddly, Dale randomly shows up on the doorstep of Hank's rental condominium and it doesn't really look like a coincidence that he's also in Mexico. The action really picks up when the authorities get involved with this wiley bunch and the guys may get tangled up in the Mexican justice system. Tune in for a very telling episode.
  • funny

    this episode was very funny i liked the giant firework i wish it would have blown up but it didn't i also liked luan and her cons and kahn's attempt to pull of his trick everything was funny and i liked this episode their attemps to enter the U.S. were funny and the mariache playing was funny thank you for reading my review.

  • when chris thorndyke runs away from home, it seems to be all about chris being deeply upset about sonic having to be sent back to his own world.

    chris thorndyke is really getting to know sonic and friends on his own planet, he is only twelve years of age, and has been friends with them for ages...but there is problem up to this point, his world and sonic\'s are beginning to join together...and the two time lines will stop each other...and time will not move.
    when christopher thorndyke is told about this by the space agency...he starts running away from home thinking that doctor eggman is the one causing this time he ran to see eggman and get the truth from him.
    when eggman tells chris that he is not responsible for the time stop and he can\'t build his empire in world where time is not moving, he is called a liar and starts getting incredbly mift, and when he tries to run back home, i would have thought he was thinking \"you can\'t take sonic away from me, i don\'t care of time is coming to a stop or not, sonic is the best friend i have ever had.\"
    a real hit i believe, seeing as chris is my favourite character.

  • Wow, Really?!

    Okay where do I start, this episode was just boring & ridiculous. I did enjoy Stan being an athlete though that was pretty cool & the posters he had that supported for what he was STANding for that was also cool. Showed Butters way to much, Sick of him! :(

    This so-called Wristband Episode was just Meh but not the Worst!
  • Weak dude..Weak

    Another not so great season is soft. Sorry--a few interesting lines a few good jokes..Ultimately not a great episode..AGAIN. Weak season.
  • One of the more novel episodes

    This is a more stylized episode, akin to Good Times with Weapons. I don't want to give anything away, and whilst some of the material being spoofed may not be to everyone's tastes, you have to give credit where it is due for how Matt and Trey are able to masterly subvert well-established themes and styles into their world. This is them practising their art on their wittiest and sharpest form! On top of this, this was another very topical and timely episode.

  • Is Data lying or did something happen to the crew ?

    Besides a few quibbles, this story is very well plotted. It starts off a little shakily with a silly scene on the holodeck - but quickly emerges as an interesting story about what happened to the crew while they were unconscious. It first seems Data must be lying when various evidence is gathered to contradict his story about their 30-seconds unconscious state. But instead of going down the obvious path and assuming Data must be up to no good, the story turns to assuming something happened to the crew and Data is trying to save them. Even the ending is quite good with Data smiling about fooling the crew for the second time! However, it is a little unusual for the captain to readily accept that the ship could so easily be destroyed without checking the possibility a bit further.

  • So the turtles finally ran into the Cyber Shredder, this is going to be a great season.

    I liked this episode, it was even better than Karate Schooled. However the begining on the episode I was a little iffy on , but when the turtles ran into the Cyber Shredder that turned the whole episode around. I was getting worried when the Shredder nearly deleted Mikey. At least now we know that the turtles have to wear cyber armor in order for the turtles to protect themselves from being earased. After all this Shredder has Viral's abilities, so that's going to make him hard to beat in the internet world. At least Raphael figured things out and managed to pierce the Shredder's armor, but I got worried when Cyber Shredder held Raph in his grip for a while. During that time the Shredder could have either turned Raphael againist his brothers or infected him with some sort of virus. If Raph hadn't been wearing the armor though I bet that's exactly what would have happened. I really liked the 'cybernaut' outfits, but I'm not a fan of the word 'cybernaut'. Oh well, I may as well just grin and bear it, because the plot is getting interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next.
  • The Turtles travel into Cyberspace.

    3 episodes into the season, and here it is, the first not so good episode. It's also the first episode with the Turtles in cyberspace. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. This episode was overall pretty boring, the Cyberspace pesented here is colorful, but that's all it is, colors. The Turtles look okay in their Cybernaut outfits. Yes, that's "Cybernaut", and if you think it sounds silly, too bad, because you're gonna hear it several times in this episode. "Think like a Cybernaut". I cringed on one occasion, something I haven't done since Fast Forward. Most of the action scenes in the Cyberworld are overall pretty lame, at least in this episode. Very disappointing. But to be fair, it might not be only because they're in the Cyberworld. Serling is back to complaining again, I was hoping he would be more positive by now. Oh well, it's nothing major, he only has like 2 lines. So what did work? The Cyber-Shredder. He's a huge threat and there's further explenation on his origins, it turns out he is the one you've suspected him to be. And if you haven't guessed it already, I won't spoil it for you. But here's a spoiler for you. Karai makes a small, but very weird cameo. First in her 2k3 design and then seconds later she's in her BTTS design. But it was cool seeing her again nonetheless. A few parts of the battle with Cyber-Shredder were kinda cool. Shredder getting cut in half was nice. And again, the cyber-outfits aren't bad.

    This episode was disappointing. I hope they don't have too many episodes set in Cyberspace, I can't see that it has much potential as of now. If I were extra harsh I'd say it is a cheap gimmick in order to sell more toys. But I won't, because I'm sure future episodes will be alot beter than this. TMNT rocks, this episode don't.

      Phoebe: Really? From who?
      Rachel: Well, from me. And I know it's not your big money song, but it's my favorite.

    • Ross: I just wanna thank you for being there for me today. And I'm sorry I, I almost broke your hand.

Many carpet cleaning companies claim they will take the rug to the warehouse to get it professionally examined and cleaned but instead they take it to a different location where they clean the rug with steam extraction just like any wall to wall carpet . Steam cleaning extraction works great for cleaning wall to wall carpets; however, the technique should never be used for cleaning an expensive or valuable area rugs. In fact, steam cleaning may harm the rug, causing discoloration, shrinkage, loosing of the texture and pile and color fading.

In order to avoid these problems, an area rug needs to be cleaned in a special plant with expensive machines that have soft bristle scrubbers which rotate back and forward scrubbing the rug in a very gentle manner using warm water and organic soap which does not damage the pile.

Before considering which carpet cleaning company to use for your rug cleaning, do a background check on the concern and make sure it has s a great deal of knowledge and experience cleaning delicate rugs, heirlooms and oriental rugs. Ask the company to provide you with a “quick video, which describes their products and services. Don`t settle for anything but the best when it comes to cleaning your valuable area rugs.

Planning a wedding can be tricky. However, once you have worked through your checklist, your focus could be shifted onto after the event. A honeymoon is normally what a couple would take after their wedding. Jetting off somewhere lovely and relaxing to rejuvenate from the busy wedding and to spend some quality time together. Every couple strives to have the best possible honeymoon. With that in mind, I thought I would share with you some of the luxury additions you can add on to your honeymoon to make it extra special.

Upgrading the way you travel

Travelling to your destination is half the excitement, so you may want to consider upgrading the way you travel. You could choose to upgrade your legroom options, travel first class or even go all out and consider Private Air Charters. It’s half the fun, and you want to ensure that you have the best start to your honeymoon. You may also want to consider lounges at the airports and even fast track through security to ensure your honeymoon gets off to a flying start.

Champagne on arrival

Essentially the whole honeymoon should be filled with cocktails and champagne. But there is something luxurious about having a glass offered to you on arrival. Or even asking for a bottle to be chilled in your accommodation upon your arrival. Some accommodations and hotels will do this sort of thing as standard, especially if they are aware it is your honeymoon. Make sure you inform staff of this in advance.

Luxurious accommodation

Try and consider your accommodation as doing something totally different. Perhaps thinking about villas instead of a hotel. Or even staying in a suite to make things unique. Your honeymoon should be one of the best vacations you ever take, so choose your accommodation wisely. Many couples consider things like over the water villas in destinations like The Maldives.

Private dining experiences

On your honeymoon, you want to have every opportunity to spend quality time together alone. So a private dining experience could be the perfect opportunity. Some destinations enable you to dine on the beach under the stars. While other hotels or similar may offer in room dining or have separate rooms for it in the restaurant. Often these can be booked in advance.

Couples only areas

Some couples choose to bring their children with them when they go on a honeymoon. Of course, this is appropriate if you started a family before getting married. However, for some newlyweds you just want the option of relaxing amongst adults and not have the worry of children. So consider locations or accommodation that offer couples only areas. Some places may even have a certain part just for couples to enjoy more luxurious surroundings and service.

Spa treatments you both can enjoy

Finally, the key to a great honeymoon is to relax with one another. So a lovely way to do that would be to book in some couples treatments. This may include things like massages or facials. It’s a great chance to unwind after the busy period for the wedding.

How To Keep Your Chickens Entertained – Part 3 Interactive DIY Project!

How To Keep Your Chickens Entertained

During our time as chicken keeping enthusiasts we at the have tried many different ways and projects on this particular subject. We enjoy the eggs, the meat and the sense of accomplishment you get with the process of keeping chickens but what we love to do the most is entertain our chickens. Because much like any other domesticated animal, chickens can also show you how smart they are if you only have some patience and creativity.  And this is why we at the team decided to share with you today an interactive DIY project which you can build in two ways. One way to build it is to let the chickens enjoy themselves and the other is built in that way that you will be playing with them.

1. The treat skewer that makes your chickens smarter

This project is as easy to make as it is complicated and as always we at the team want to leave room for your creativity and imagination. It works on similar principles as a normal skewer but you will need to add a few parts more so you can make your chickens work for their treat.
We will not give you any specifics because we want to encourage our readers to improvise and invent new ways to keep their chickens entertained and make their lives as chicken keepers easier.

Most of you are familiar how a regular skewer works – you have a thin metal pipe with meat impaled on to its middle. On both sides it is held by two other metal pipes placed high enough so that the fire that you make below will provide enough heat to just cook the meat and not burn it. One of pipes that are holding the pipe with the meat has a handle that allows you to easily rotate the pipe 360 degrees so every part of the meat will get properly cooked.

how to keep your chickens entertained
via Pinterest

Now what you need to do from the information on how a regular skewer works is you put the two metal pipes closer together and with doing this you leave more room on the side for the long metal pipe that was used to hold the meat. You connect two pieces of wooden boards of the same size and weight with the long metal pipe that was used to hold the meat. You put an equal amount of apples (remember to take the seeds out) on the top of the wooden board that is on the left side and on the bottom of the wooden board that is on the right side. At the end it should resemble a winged structure.
In that way as the chickens peck, the wooden boards will rotate and the chickens will need to find a way to peck together or otherwise the apples will rotate and get away from them (make sure that the apples cannot fall of once they go from top to bottom).
If by any chance you find this contraption difficult to make or you want to play with your chickens yourself you might want to consider making:

2. The workout treat skewer

Based on the same skewer method mentioned above, you will not put two wooden boards on the side of the metal pipes but only one in the middle, you will put the apples on top(make sure that the apples are high enough so your chickens cannot reach them). So when you rotate the skewer the chickens will jump to get the treats as much as you let them.
This is a great and fun way to get your chickens tired so that you will not have a lot of noise coming from the chicken coop during the night.

  • Nancy

    Yeah, I don’t understand AT ALL. “Take this pipe and hook it to the other pipe and turn the pipe…”

  • Amt

    I would also like a picture or a drawing or anything visual – I can’t understand what you are trying to describe. It sound very interesting, please share something visual, or expand your description.

The Section of Clinical Faculty represents Physician Clinical Faculty members and supports them to provide excellent care to their patients and excellence in teaching.

The University Clinical Faculty Association (UCFA) was formed in 1998 following a period of dispute between members of Clinical Faculty and the Faculty of Medicine at UBC. This culminated with an agreement signed by the UBC Dean of Medicine and members of the UCFA entitled “Mutual Responsibilities and Obligations for Clinical Faculty and Faculty of Medicine” in 1999. This set the stage for various working groups to develop a contract and working conditions for Clinical Faculty within the University. In September 2007, in response to the expansion of the UBC Medical School, the BC Medical Association (BCMA) Board approved the formation of the BCMA Section of Clinical Faculty (SCF).

The SCF represents its members and works with the Doctors of BC (formerly BCMA) and UBC to promote excellence in teaching future Doctors, and excellence in patient care in order to promote the health of the citizens of BC.

Notice of AGM:

The AGM will be held on:

Wednesday May 3rd 2017 from 5.30 to 7.30 pm at:

Doctors of BC HEALTH Room

1665 West Broadway

Vancouver, BC V6J 5A4

Digi Air / Dualcom/ Redcare

Alarm System Monitoring

These are more secure methods of connecting to an alarm center. The telephone line is monitored so any loss can be notified to key holders. Dualcom also uses a mobile world sim path connecting to any mobile phone network sending alarm signals so you can be sure of a reliable response. This monitoring is suitable for commercial/retail and large houses especially in remote locations where telephone lines are vulnerable. Prices start from £20 per month by Direct Debit.

If you are a business you should check with your insurance provider that this type of monitoring is acceptable.

The Underdale High School Gifted Program supports high achieving students in the middle school to be challenged and reach their academic potential. Over the years our students in the Gifted Programs have achieved their personal academic goals.

Who are our Gifted Learners?

At Underdale High School we believe gifted students require programs designed to meet their special needs. Our program’s success is a direct result of the attention paid to the identification and selection processes of our students, combined with emphasis placed on the teaching of higher order thinking skills. In addition the program is enhanced by the ‘gifted learning’ trained teachers available in our school.

Our curriculum approach for gifted learners, supported by the whole middle school focus on interdisciplinary curriculum, meets the needs of gifted students who are often capable of seeing the big picture and the interconnectivity of concepts. This ability is further enhanced for our gifted learners through access to a broad range of extracurricular activities which focus on creativity and teamwork.

At Underdale High School, we accept and encourage individual differences and the uniqueness of each student.
Students may demonstrate ability or potential in one or more of the following areas:
• General Intelligence
• Specific academic areas
• Visual and performing arts
• Psychomotor ability
• Leadership
• Creative Thinking
• Interpersonal and intrapersonal

Identification and selection of our gifted learners

The early identification of giftedness is important to ensure that highly able students receive the support and stimulation required to reach their full potential.

The identification of gifted learners can be based on evidence supplied to our school from:

• Teacher recommendations from both the previous schools and from UHS staff
• Presentation of student work samples
• School and externally administered standardised testing
• School results
• Psychologists reports
• Self nomination and
• Parent/caregiver information

Our Gifted program is supported by:

  • Extension and Enrichment Programs offered by all learning areas to cater for gifted students.
  • Grouping of students within a class to provide a supportive environment
  • Mentoring for students who have a strong interest in a specific field, so that they are supported to further develop this interest.
  • Providing access to leadership and social skills development (Youth Leadership Conferences/Workshops, Student Council, etc).
  • Providing withdrawal from class opportunities for small groups of highly able students to engage in problem-solving team activities and to undertake excursions.
  • Involvement in National competitions, Bridge building and Robotics/Engineering Challenges.
  • This individual learning experience is further enhanced through the involvement in the following enrichment programs:
  • Science/ Maths and Robotics Club
  • Musical bands, choirs and ensembles
  • A range of sports
  • Science and Engineering challenges
  • English Competitions
  • Mathematics Quiz Night
  • Meet the Writer Programs
  • International Exchange program

Vertical Acceleration

Some exceptionally abled learners may be accelerated vertically in specific subject areas. In these special cases students are supported by an Individualised Education Plan and their learning program is closely monitored.

Entry to the Year 8 Gifted Program

Year 7 students may apply to participate in our Gifted Program.
Application forms for Year 7 students seeking to apply for a position in the Year 8 Gifted Program are available from the school and on our web-site. Please contact the school for further information.

These interested and talented students need to:

Applicants will then be invited to undertake a test. Successful applicants are guaranteed a placement in this program at Underdale High School in Year 8.
As students move through the middle school, a team of teachers monitor them closely. The program is ‘fluid’ with the opportunity for students to move in and out. The team reviews the placement of students who are not maintaining a high performance and commitment and identifies other high achieving candidates to enter the program.

Applications for entry into the 2018 Year 8 Gifted program are due FRIDAY, 19TH MAY 2017 .

How we work

UNFPA works in more than 150 countries and territories that are home to the vast majority of the world’s people.  Its mission: to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled.

Guided by the 1994 Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), UNFPA partners with governments, civil society and other agencies to advance its mission. The ICPD Beyond 2014 Global Report, released in February 2014, revealed how much progress has been made and the significant work that remains to be done. The actions and recommendations identified in the report are crucial for achieving the goals of the ICPD Programme of Action and its linkage with the post-2015 development agenda.

The work of UNFPA is based on the premise that all human beings are entitled to equal rights and protections. We focus on women and young people because these are groups whose ability to exercise  their right to sexual and reproductive health is often compromised.

Our work on their behalf is informed by an understanding of population dynamics, human rights and cultural sensitivities.

Empowering individuals and governments

UNFPA adopts a human rights-based approach throughout its work. This entails educating individuals and communities about their human rights, so that they can then demand the respect and basic services they are entitled to. This approach also involves empowering governments to fulfil these rights.

UNFPA focuses on women and young people, because these are the groups whose rights often go unfulfilled. Understanding local cultural complexities is crucial to the success of our work because many of the issues UNFPA deals with – including sexual and reproductive health and rights – are sensitive, sometimes taboo, subjects.

Advocate for action

UNFPA amplifies its impact by empowering governments to deliver on their promises to women and young people.

It accomplishes this by providing data and analysis to show where countries are falling short, by mobilizing resources and expertise, by advocating directly with government officials or in public forums and through training and monitoring. We participate in regional and international meetings and forums that enhance knowledge about and commitment to our issues.

Since 1978, UNFPA has published an annual flagship report - the State of World Population - to give wider visibility to critical and emerging issues.

UNFPA further expands the scope of its work by partnering with civil society, academic institutions and the private sector.  In 2013, it formed a Civil Society Advisory Panel to encourage dialogue with organizations, networks and partners on programming and policies. UNFPA also works regularly with parliamentarians to review progress in implementing the ICPD Programme of Action.

UNFPA  also participates in and administers a number of pooled funding mechanisms - including Joint Programmes and Multi-Donor Trust Funds - at country, regional and global level.

Robben would be delighted for Heynckes to stay on at Bayern

Arjen Robben Bayern Munich
The veteran coach was brought in as a stop-gap measure, but the Dutchman is keen the arrangement is made more permanent
Arjen Robben has admitted he would love to see Jupp Heynckes stay on at Bayern Munich.
The 72-year-old was brought back to the cub supposedly as a stop-gap measure following the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti, but such is the effect he has had on the first team that there have been suggestions he could be handed the role on a longer basis.
Club legend Lothar Matthaus said on Monday that there is “no better coach on the market” and the 33-year-old winger agrees.
“It would be a pleasure!” he told Bild after asked how he would feel if Heynckes was to continue. “Anything is possible.
“It’s going very well. If anyone knows the club, then it’s him. He also knows what’s needed in football today. Everything is great.
“I don’t know what he thinks or what the plan for the club is.”

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the chairman of the executive board, has been coy over the topic.
“When Jupp arrived, we made it clear his timetable with us and that has not changed,” he said. “I stick to what we’ve agree interval.
“He’s undoubtedly had a great effect. The team is stable, playing well, and exudes fun. We’re doing well in three competitions. Not only are we winning, but we’re playing good football.”
Bayern currently lie top of the Bundesliga, six points clear of Schalke and RB Leipzig, while progress in the Champions League is already assured with two group stage matches remaining.
