33 Funny Shows To Watch When You Need A Break

man like mobeen funny netflix shows

Every now and then something happens in the world (or at work) that leaves me in a bad mood and makes the show I’m currently binging feel “too heavy”. And when this happens, I usually need funny shows to watch so that I can erase all the bad out of my head, or destress, and smile again.

These are the shows I’ve watched over the years that I’ve loved, that were funny, and helped me get through a stressful day, or made me forget about life for a few minutes while eating.

Yes, some of these are cheesy, but I like cheesy! Judge yo mama!

And yes there are other shows that are funny, but some of them get DEEP and no one needs that when they’re tryna forget everything happening around them.

You should consider going for a law firm which has been providing the services for a long time which makes them more knowledgeable about legal issues. As you look into the number of years this company has been, you should also ensure that the lawyers have a good experience as well and not just the company. A lawyer who has been in the industry for a long time is in a position to elaborate more on the case before it is even tried in court. Experience of a lawyer comes with a reward of knowing how to argue out their cases in court for the interest of the client. It is also essential to ensure that the lawyer has good experience in handling matters like the one you are presenting to them.

Working with a company with a good reputation in the market is an added advantage to winning your legal matter before the court. By visiting the this website and on their social media page and read the reviews from clients.

Hire a lawyer who has no case against him or her which has ever been taken to court.

Letter requesting EPA repair error classifying iconic American wild horses as ‘pests’

Native Wild Horses (Photo © Cynthia Smalley)

Daniel T. Heggem

Acting Division Director

Environmental Protection Agency

Dear Mr. Heggem,

We respectfully request that the EPA apologize for classifying America’s legendary wild horses as ‘pests’, acknowledge the classification error and cancel approval of ZonaStat-H and any other pesticides for indigenous wild horses or American burros.

America’s wild horses and burros are an asset to the environment and humankind. Science proves they create biodiversity and heal the land—reversing damage and desertification.

The American public is uplifted knowing wild horses are roaming freely in the West. People come from around the world to catch a glimpse of wild horses because they are beloved icons of the American spirit and freedom.

Public land grazing allotment holders might call free roaming wild horses a nuisance but they have an obvious conflict of interest because they want all the grazing and water rights for their livestock, etc. They would like to eliminate the rights of the free roaming wild horses and burros. We hope the EPA will not buy into their game.

There is no scientific proof wild horses are overpopulating—only inflated estimates by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) who must invent high numbers so Congress will give them millions of taxpayer dollars to fund their broken Wild Horse and Burro Program.

Indigenous wild horses do not reproduce like rabbits—many die before the age of two. Life on the range can be hard and most wild horses do not reach the age of 17. As a wildlife species, this is normal. Left alone they will self-regulate as an integral piece of the ecosystem.

Wild horses have natural predators such as mountain lions, bears and coyotes to name a few. BLM goes to great lengths to downplay the existence of predators to foster their overpopulation estimate-based myths.

We expect the EPA to be based on science not myth.

Are you aware of the two Princeton studies proving equids heal the land for cattle to thrive?

The first study, “Facilitation Between Bovids and Equids on an African Savanna,” was published in Evolutionary Ecology Research in August 2011, and supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Keller Family Trust and Wageningen University, the Netherlands.

The second study, “African Wild Ungulates Compete With or Facilitate Cattle Depending on Season,” was published in Science on Sept. 23, 2011, and supported by grants from the National Geographic Society, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the International Foundation for Science.

Besides the environmental hazards of using ZonaStat-H, we are concerned the iconic herds will risk ovary damage and permanent sterilization from multiple use or overdosing with PZP.

We ask that all ZonaStat-H use be put on hold immediately until your “pest” classification error has been corrected and for the EPA pesticide/drug approval be retracted.

Please reply to us via email or fax immediately with your response. Thank you.

Simple Tips To Help Solve Your Leaking Air Conditioner Problem

Air conditioners give off water as part of their dehumidifying process. And since this water is of no use to an air conditioning system, it is usually drained through a system of small tubes. These tubes empty the water into a special pump called a condensate pump, which then pumps the water out of the air conditioning unit.

Air conditioner water leaks usually occur when there is something interfering with the drainage process. Therefore, if your air conditioner is leaking, there might be a problem with your unit's emptying tubes, its condensate pump or its check valve. Here are tips to help you get rid of air conditioner moisture leaks.

Leaking tubes

The simplest and most common explanation for a leaking air conditioning unit is torn tubes. When this happens, every time the unit tries to drain any condensation from its system, water leaks from the holes or tears in the tubing system.

Fixing this problem is simple. All you have to do is to buy tubing from a nearby HVAC supply shop and replace the torn tubes.

Clogged tubes

Sometimes, problems with the tubing system do not arise from tears but from clogging. With time, dirt may collect inside the tubes and thus blocking them. It may also be a case of algae growth inside the tubing system.

To unclog the tubes, simply blow through them. And if that doesn't work, running a wire through the tubes will. However, this will not be enough if it is an algae problem because algae can always grow back. Therefore, in addition to wire-running, you will also have to run a diluted bleach solution through the tubing system.

Stuck check-valve

The water-draining process of an air conditioner usually kicks in only when the water collected has reached a certain level. And to ensure that this happens, the unit usually relies on a ball-float that rises as more and more water is collected. This floating ball is what acts as the on/off switch for the draining pump. If this ball gets stuck, then the water-draining process cannot proceed as designed. This can cause flooding inside the system and hence the leaks.

To fix this problem, you will need to loosen the ball inside the check valve. Make sure that you clean it before screwing it back and if the problem persists, you may have to replace the check-valve.

A broken pump

A condensate pump plays a central role when it comes to getting rid of moisture residue from an air conditioning unit. When it breaks down, the whole process comes to a standstill, causing water leaks. When this happens, it is usually advisable to call an air conditioning repair technician.

3 Telltale Signs That You Need Plumbing Repairs

Plumbing repairs are the types of issues that homeowners really don't seek unless a calamity happens. However, there are a lot of glaring issues that you might commonly miss with your plumbing system that deserve attention and must get fixed. As a homeowner, you must become mindful of these telltale signs of plumbing problems, as your awareness of them will help you out exponentially. Follow this guide, in order to learn some of the most common plumbing problems signs.

#1: Your Water Pressure Is Low

Low water pressure can be incredibly annoying, but it is also critical that you rectify this issue, so that it doesn't springboard into other, more serious plumbing issues. If you clean your showerhead and still notice low water pressure, it is likely that you are dealing with some sort of blockage in your plumbing system, which can lead to a costly repair if it is not addressed. Because of this, touch base with a professional plumbing repair contractor who can help you out in that regard.

#2: You Notice Odors In Your Drain

If you have cleaned your garage disposal or cleared your drain and still notice odors, there may be an issue at hand that requires the help of a plumbing contractor. In many cases, odorous drains point to rotted food that has not gone all the way throughout the system. In more serious cases, it can point to a backflow issue, which will require a more skilled and experienced hand.

#3: Your Water Is Discolored

There are a number of reasons that people can turn on their drain and find that their water is discolored. When pipes have not been used for a long time, you might notice a brown tint to the water, which goes away after letting it run for a bit. In other situations, a heavy presence of magnesium and iron can turn the water brown, which will mean that you will need a filtration system. In other cases, your drain is dealing with a clog that needs to be addressed by a plumber. The best way to know for sure is to allow a professional to check it out.

With these situations in mind, you'll want to become more mindful of your plumbing and always keep the number of a certified plumbing repair specialist like Alexander's Plumbing handy, in case you need an emergency repair. Your home utilities are the lifeblood of your home, so treat them accordingly.

3 Types Of Fencing For Your Front Yard

If you're looking to fence off your front yard, then you have lots of options. When you fence off your backyard from your neighbors, he primary role of a backyard fence is to provide privacy, and you will normally have to get a stockade fence. However, when you are getting a fence for your front yard, you have more flexibility. A front yard fence has many different purposes. You might want a fence that will be pretty and decorative, will prevent people, or that will keep dogs off of your lawn.

Here are three types of fencing and their pros and cons.

Wrought Iron Fencing

Wrought iron is great if you are looking to install a tall fence that will prevent animals and people from getting into your front yard. These fences can be installed as panels, or you can have them custom fit to your own specifications.

If you want to show off your yard, then a wrought iron fence is great. The railings are very narrow and they can be placed close together. They won't block the view of the yard like a stockade or vinyl fence will. The other benefit to these fences is that the installer can weld on many different types of decorative flourishes on top of the fence rails. A popular one is the fleur de lis, but you can have any shape attached to the railings if you chose a custom installation.

These fences can be expensive. If you are on a budget, you should consider a panel installation. It will not be as tailored to your property like a custom fence will, but it will be much more affordable.

White Picket Fence

If you're looking for a classic style fence, then nothing beats the picket fence. These fences provide both protection from wandering dogs, as well as a beautiful boundary to your property line. You can get these fences in either wood or polyvinyl chloride.

These fences are sold in large panels, and there is not much customization to them. However, they are not as costly as a wrought iron installation.

Ranch Style Fencing

If you are not concerned about stray dogs or other animals, then you might want to think about a ranch style fence. These fences are also known as "split rail." They were popular on ranches in the Old West and were used to fence in cattle. Many people who have ranch style homes, or log homes, appreciate them because they accentuate their home's architecture.

These fences are inexpensive. You can also choose from among different styles. You can use raw logs, weathered planks of wood, or even salvaged barn siding for railing. The main posts should always be new, pressure treated wood. However, the railings are where you can let your imagination run.

Claude's Commentary No. 76r2

Today at 7:38 AM
August 3, 2015

Claude’s Commentary No. 76
By Claude Hall

Bob Weisbuch:  “You are right, Claude, Danny Neaverth means Buffalo to a lot of us.  Growing up in Rochester in the 1950s and 1960s, I always listened to Buffalo radio instead.  Rochester Top 40 was a monopoly for several years, and WBBF was comfortable and wildly successful but somehow not part of that sense of the new that stations like WKBW modeled.  Danny was the best, and when I heard him on the late-lamented oldies revival of KBW four or five years ago, he sounded as witty and naturally engaging as he did forty-five years earlier.  (One winter I would get up super early to hear him from my Jersey home before the signals switched after sunrise.  What are you doing here so early, students would say at my university.  I'm listening to one of the great DJs ever, I would reply, and, I'd add, I'll bet you haven't been to bed yet.  They hadn't.  Of course for many years I'd get up early or stay up late to hear Joey Reynolds reinvent talk radio on WOR.  In any field, we should honor individualism.  These talents, just like Lee Baby and Woody Roberts, are themselves and no one else.

“Danny Neaverth and fellow Western New York guy Dick Purtan shared a style that was low-key but high-brow.  Danny worked at several Buffalo stations before he settled at KB -- I believe he was on WGR earlier and perhaps WWOL where everyone did a term as Guy King.  Why can't we establish an internet radio station with some of the great talents who write in to you?  Granted that some of the best age better than others but just about all of them have more to say than what we typically hear now.  Speaking of which, I think the biggest disappointment these days, along with the effects of the huge conglomerates, is Sirius in its music stations.  Is personality really that scary?  I am a big admirer of Howard Stern, but he shouldn't be virtually alone on those 200 channels as a personality.  Eat your unsalted chicken soup and feel better, Mesquiteer.”

Joey Reynolds:  “How can Danny N. be more Buffalo than me?  I ate more wings and weighed 300 lbs.  And shoveled more snow -- in my nose.  He was married with children … I was sleeping with every squaw in Cheektawoga and Tonawanda.  We went to the same high school.  I was dating Danny's sister-in-law.  We started out at the Buffalo boys club radio station WBCB.  Tommy Shannon and I owned a recording studio together in Buffalo.  Danny became a landlord for low-rent houses, I invested in a tall men's shop in China.  The point is that we didn't wind up at the steel plant in Lackawanna … they moved to Germany.  I would be married to some old Deutsch bag.  Get your history straight or you will never be on ‘Jeapordy’.  Love to you and Barbara.”

No, no, no, Joey.  Danny is Mr. Buffalo.  You can be Mr. Hartford-Philadelphia-Buffalo, if you wish … I don’t care what Bertha Porter might think.  Popsie would have wanted it that way.

Johnny Holliday:  “Just finished reading your latest Commentary # 75 ... as always brightens up my day with so many familiar names from the past.  Names like Dan Neaverth.  If you don’t mind could you email me his contact info?  Haven't spoke to Danny in years, he truly is one of the all-time greats.”

M.R. Shane Gibson:  “I genuinely will try to be brief, dear old friend.  However, your exchange with Danny Neavearth caused a flood tide of similar memories strong enough still to preclude even the possibility of brevity.  Danny was, is one of my longest and dearest, most honest friends in broadcast.  To write the occasions where activity occurred as he described would require a book.  It happened at WKBW when my hero, the immortal Jefferson Kaye had brought me in explaining half their numbers were gone in the evening.  Six months later, ‘Best numbers we've ever had in the slot!’, he said and, he was gone.  The new PD came in and apparently needed to show the staff he was the boss and -- I was gone.  A year later, he hired me back after little WYSL beat 'em in the slot with less power than the Yellow Cab company (186 watts effective radiating power in the evening).

“In Washington, same kind of thing.  Dynamite numbers. GM admitted it and fired me anyway saying, ‘To be honest, I just can't stand the sound of your voice’.  In Virginia Beach, we took Z-104 from a 7.4 to a 14.9 in a year.  They fired Bob Canada as PD and let go of Mike Joseph as consultant on the Hot Hits’ station.  Then, me.  In Richmond, the GM was also the Morning Man half the time.  You remember the Billboards that year.  Don Imus was MC.  I still laugh at the pic where he'd rushed over to side stage, handed me the plaque without allowing a word of thanks.  He worked in Cleveland, owned by the same company.  The WLEE GM was angry I was hurt they'd made me pay my own way to come to the forum!  He stonewalled me on a new three-year contract with a raise of $15 per week; which is how I went to WKBW.

“There are many stories of the same ilk which could be empathized with by many good pros in our business but brevity was promised.  Suffice it to say that learning the politic outweighed performance in so many instances. When the ‘New WLEE’ was brought back in 95, there I was again.  In less than one year on the morning shift, with a signal from Williamsburg, we went from #16 to #9, station was sold and I was let go so the new board could air John Boy and Billy for barter.  The reason I am able to smile in retrospect is simple.  I was so fed up, I played 18 to 54 holes a day for 20 months and became the oldest fella on record to pass the Playing Ability and Rules tests and be admitted to the Professional Golfers Association of America.  Now the sun has destroyed my Nordic skin and I write my music.  ‘Isn't Life Strange?’  Please don't print this if it seems to be yammering; just wanted you to know how enjoyable it was reading the exchanges between two of the nicest, most honorable professionals I was ever able to know in the business and politic of radio.  Your friend and fan always.”

Shane, so you wanted to be a disc jockey, huh?  Just FYI, you’re welcome to “yammer” any time you wish, but that goes for everyone in this column.

Herb Oscar Anderson:  “Think of all the great personalities that had their schooling in radio … the  WHOLE  show business world was alive … they went into TV … stage … comedy … singers … that made the Klieg lights blue … those many hours alone… with you and a mic … forced the mind to develop so as not to bore and loose audience.  Now, every time we go to entertainment news … headlines always read.  Ratings at new low … well … it takes talent to be good … it takes guts to learn your craft.  When I was released (fired) from ABC back in the 50s, I told a young Leonard Goldenson, ‘I’m coming back and don’t you forget it.  After WMCA, I got a call from him, ‘I would like to have you back … and I haven’t forgotten’.  The rest is history.  As the saying goes, ‘If you made it to the top, you came through the back door a couple of times’.  But today is another story.  We must put the ‘show’ back in business … instead of the Rolodex mentality of the industry today.  What do they teach in radio school today? How to spin the wheel?”

Pert, HOA.  Pert.

Chuck Buell:  “Hi, Claude, I know you like writing more about guys with East Coast affiliations and backgrounds these days, but back in the day, you did honor many of us in the Great Midwest with your fine comments in Vox Jox.  Here're Seven of those Guys!  Chuck Buell, J.J. Jeffries, Larry Lujack, John Landecker, Bill Bailey, Gary Gears and Fred Winston.  The Early 1970s daily on-air staff of WLS, The Big 89, in Chicago!  All these WLS Chicago on-air guys made a rare group appearance together one day as they were being interviewed in this old TV Video Clip from 1972.  Check the guy at the far left! (Yep!  That's me, Buell!).  Was I rockin' the 70s Image or what?  And be sure to listen to my astute comments later in the interview about why there are no ‘Girl’ Disk Jockeys!
1972 WLS On Air Guys 9 minutes.  Wishing you Good Health!”

Ah, Bill Bailey.  A Commentary to him bounced back a week ago.  Hope he hasn’t bought that proverbial rusty transmitter in the south pasture.  And I still treasure my copy of “Superjock.”  Every jock from here to Miami was jealous because Larry Lujack thought of that title first.

Doc Wendell:  “I'm plugging away at these album picks. It's great to dig into my vaults to find a record like this one.”

Charlie Barrett, bless him, included me in the loop of a note to Don Graham.  I am honored.  The “looping” is not due to my hipness, but merely a tribute to my elderly status.  However, I am grateful.  Charlie Barrett to Don Graham:  “Hi, Don.  Such a promo genius you are ... Matt Forbes is privileged to have you!  Watch for the weekly ‘Joey Canyon Show’ from country music star and personality Joey Canyon in Colorado to preem on national cable and satelite TV in 1st quarter of 2016.  We will be announcing deal for show (think ‘Hee-Haw’ meets ‘The Dean Martin Show’) in a week or so.  I cannot believe we are still at it ‘after all these years’ ... as the song plays.”

This originated with a note from: David Hendrickson, operations manager, WJUB:  “Uncle Don, at the Breeze we’re eagerly anticipating the new Matt Forbes album.  Any idea when that will be headed our way?  PS – I will be back in the City of Angels in February.  I look forward to seeing you then.”

Speaking of elderly status, the Billboard special issue about Nashville.  Whew!  As they say: “PHENOMENAL.”  A keeper.  My son Andy read it.  And John Alexander Hall, Esq. will read it when he comes for his birthday in a few days.  Just great!

Joey Reynolds: “This is the life of Morton Downey Jr. … a documentary featuring yours truly and Bob Pittman as the good guys (who knew?).  And a few other rascals whom you know.  It is prime time on CNN 9pm Aug 20.  Plenty of time to get the popcorn and a diet Pepsi.”

Missed it, Joey!  Shucks.  But things were a bit messy around here for a few days.  This is as good a place and time to spill the proverbial “beans” as anywhere else … and, hey, I love pinto beans!  July 8, I had a congestive heart attack.  No big deal.  I’m a Hall, you know.  But I wasn’t feeling all that well.  Barbara talked me into going to Urgent Care near the house on July 20.  They whisked me into a hospital bed and hooked me up to some wires and this and this.  An hour or so later, they transferred me by ambulance to Desert Springs Hospital.  More tests.  Then they ambulanced me to the new (four days old) Mountain Edge Hospital on the west side of Las Vegas.  Great food, but not much of it and I wasn’t very hungry; great doctors and nurses.  That hospital bed was something Hitler invented, though; I’m thinking about suing.  I was on oxygen.  Grabbing for air.  Going to the bathroom a lot as they tried to flush liquids from my lungs.  Well, they were somewhat successful on that and released me from the hospital, which did not make me mad, on July 23.  My beautiful wife Barbara and son Andy brought me home.  And here I am.  I’ve got nurses coming by once a day and I’ve seen my primary care provider Dr. Kaplov, a youngish fellow who must have studied under Joey Reynolds, but failed to graduate.  This was okay because what he was talking about was me and it wasn’t exactly a whole bunch of fun anyway.  I see my heart specialist on Aug. 5.

Scott St James:  “Hi, Claude!  Hi, Barbara!  Wow!   You covered a LOT of ground in today's column.  Great stuff!  FYI ... those of us who have had the pleasure of getting to know to him, I'm happy to tell you something you probably weren't aware of.  The last couple of Fridays, Don Barrett has been on a coast-to-coast station telling us some great radio and film stories.  He might be on the air with us this coming Friday for a third time if he's available.”

Love to hear more about it, Scott.

Art Wander:  “Claudius the Great.  So delighted to hear of your early adventures at Billboard.  I know there are more stories you could share with your loyal list of contributors.  Naturally, I certainly appreciate Ken Dowe's contributions that make your Commentaries so great.  Keep up the great work.”

Mel Phillips:  “I just loved your story on the start of your career at Billboard.  First person pieces are invaluable, educational and entertaining.  Yours was all three.  Loved it a lot.  Describing the first time you heard someone use the word personality in reference to a disc jockey reminds me of being a 17-year-old kid who had just started attending radio school at night.  During the day I was a mailboy at the ABC Radio & TV Network on West 66th Street in Manhattan.  Herb Oscar Anderson was the morning man at WABC Radio and would drop downstairs to the mailroom to say hi after finishing his show each morning.  Knowing I had just started at The School of Radio & Television Technique (owned by Pat Weaver - dean of NBC TV and father of Sigourney), HOA said, "Mel, I want you to remember one thing as you get into Radio. Always remember to be an individualist").  Individualist?  I just wanted to finish Radio school and become a disc jockey.  In later years I understood what HOA meant by that and I guess I did wind up to be an individualist with a pretty good career.  Regarding the use of the word ‘personality’, I always considered myself a jock and referred to other on-air staff members as jocks.  Of course I do understand that when you run up against a Rush Limbaugh, Cousin Brucie or Don Imus, you're no longer referring to ‘jocks’.  Give us more insight into your career, Claude, please.”

Trust me, Mel, you do not wish to know about my “barefoot” days.

John Long:  “Enjoyed Dave Anthony's comments about Domino Rippy.  I first met Trippy Rippy when I hired him to do nights at WAPE.  Christopher Haze recommended him to me after Bill (his real name-last name Matthews) worked for Haze at KNUS in Dallas.  Nothing will give you an insight into someone like driving in a U-haul truck from Phoenix to Jacksonville, FL.  That's what happened when Domino accepted my offer to join me at the Big Ape to do nights.  He volunteered to help me move.  By the time we reached El Paso, I needed a break so I bought him a plane ticket to Dallas (we were to pick up his belongings and motorcycle there).  When I got to Dallas, we loaded a few boxes and his bike and off we went.  We stopped somewhere in Alabama at a truck stop to get fuel and something to eat.  The stop might have been the inspiration for ‘Uneasy Rider’ by Charlie Daniels.  Domino looked a bit like a motorcycle club member and the truck stop clientele couldn't take their eyes off him.  I quickly suggested we get our food to go; we did and I was happy to see Alabama in my rear view mirror.  We finally got to Jacksonville and started our Big Ape adventure.  There are many more hilarious examples of Domino adventures including our reconnect during my ill-fated tenure at WCCO-FM in the early 90s.  Yes, Dave, I'm the one to blame for bringing him to the twin cities.  Domino died a few years ago of cancer.  I think I still have emails we exchanged during the last few months of his life.  He was a unique guy and one of the best jocks with whom I had the pleasure of working.  Hi, Miss Barbara.”

John, I read the above to Ms. Barbara.  She got a kick out of your email.  Funnie!

Tom Russell:  “Thanks so much to Ernie and Ken and Claude for being keepers of the flame. I've always figured that to survive within this cultural climate (a digital wasteland where a great song is a precious gem) you have to, as Keith Richards declared, ‘survive by sheer luck and brute force’.  Or to put it more eloquently: ‘you have to push as hard as the age that pushes against you’. (Flannery O'Conner)  Onward! … thanks to all.”

Bob Sherwood:  “So here’s a ‘what if?’, Claudius … suppose one of the major money groups that swept in to acquire broadcast properties following the moronic and possibly corrupt decisions that led to de-regulation actually hired Ken Dowe and gave him full authority and responsibility for on-air content for their various acquisitions.  All the listeners in those markets would have been exposed to local news (rather a basic obligation and service of licensees), information, music and on-air talent that related to each market.  What a concept.”

Is it that you jest, Good Sir?

I remember Domino Rippy very well. He was the best DJ . He took time to talk to a lonely teenager of 16 in the wee hours of the morning. Nice memories. So sad he died.

More Canadian Knowledge

I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the Canada quiz online and submitted your scores. Right now the most knowledgeable Canadian who has responded was my Dad and his nerdy engineering friends, who scored 36/40. In close second is Petey from back in E-town. Way to go. And by the way, it seemed like I miss-keyed the online version of the quiz (it's corrected now): Question 6 of the Entertainment section previously listed the answer as C-John Candy, but it is now corrected as B-Jim Carey. If you haven't already taken the quiz, scroll down a big and give it a try!

And to prevent this post from submitting to complete boardom, here is a extra special bonus question I came up with while watching a very informative program about Canada Called "The Great White North":

Who are Bob and Doug Mackenzie?
A. Canada's only brothers who were both Prime Minister
B. A famous Father-son team of quantum physicists who were recently awarded an honorary degree at Oxford
C. The two conductors of the Toronto Symphony
D. A couple of beer-swigging blockheads

Find out the answer here

Anonymous said...

Can I add an extra point for getting this one right?
By the way, I'm enjoying the link. I don't think I ever seen any Great White North before. Haven't seen Strange Brew either. Many people have questioned my Canadian citizenship because of it but at least I know who they are!

THE GREAT REVIVAL, KITALE KENYA, 29 September – 3 October 2016

Our purpose for going to Kitale, Kenya was to ignite believers, pastors and believers toward a passionate love for Jesus and an urgency to win the lost. The meetings were called the Great Revival. We were hosted by Apostle Reuben Wanyama the leader of God’s Grace and Compassion Ministries. Pastors from surrounding churches in the area and as far as Nairobi and Uganda attended the revival services. The time of ministry consisted of six revival services, which set many of the pastors and leaders on fire who attended. It was wonderful to hear the testimonies of the pastors who were ignited by the fire of God. Some Pastors reported that on the Sunday morning while preaching in their home church, the fire of God was evident in their preaching and reported that healings took place. Praise the Lord for the power of Holy Spirit! One particular pastor received a peculiar miracle. Not only did he receive the fire of God but he believed the Lord for the healing of his cow who couldn’t produce milk. God heard his cry and healed the cow. To many this might sound shallow, but for this pastor it was a miracle because the cow is part of his livelihood. With God all things are possible! As the days passed, each revival service was accompanied by an increase in God’s manifest presence which resulted in deliverance and healing. A lady who was unable to have children got delivered after a demon manifested, confessing that it had bound her womb. After commanding the demon to leave, it said, “I am untying her womb I’m leaving”. Hallelujah to Jesus for casting out devils! Other healings that took place were healing of the back, healing from ulcers and healing from a heart condition. All glory to Jesus! People were also baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. This was glorious!  The entire team was overwhelmed by the way our heavenly Father directed us to touch the desperate and hungry people of Kitale, Kenya. God chose to use us as His instruments of hope, love, deliverance and healing igniting the people of Kitale with the love-filled Gospel message of transformation.

Best Apple Cider Vinegar For a Flat Stomach

This is not a weight loss remedy (although some studies have reported that people who apply it tend to feel more satisfied longer, which does help with weight loss by using apple cider vinegar for a flat stomach and also for full body ). It is a solution for the day that you feel super bloated after eating or because it is going to lower you. People have explored apple cider vinegar as a way to lose weight.

The remedy is simple, take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed in a glass of water. You can add lemon and honey if it tastes very ugly to you.

How does it work?

  • When your stomach doesn’t produce enough acid to process food it causes you to feel very full, abdominal pain and excessive gas. Taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar helps your food process better, leaving your abdomen flat and gas-free.
  • It also helps reduce bloating in the intestines and regulate your digestive system. The more organic the vinegar, the better. Preferably look for one that has a film on the surface, these are the bacteria that produce vinegar, and that you need to balance your stomach.
  • Vinegar helps with many other things like allergies, sore throats and back pain, but it is important that if you are diabetic consult your doctor before taking it. Do not take more than three tablespoons a day and always, ALWAYS dilute it in water (or in juice, or whatever you want).
  • There are people who report that they sleep better, headaches and even sinus are removed. You can take it every day (although if you are going to integrate it into your daily routine I recommend not taking more than a tablespoon because you never know) but you will definitely see an improvement in the swelling of your abdomen from the first time you take it.
  • For a few people, it has the opposite effect (they do not tolerate vinegar well). If you are one of them, stop taking it and consult your doctor for advice on the problem of swelling.

One nasty crash on a bike could set your young rider’s confidence back quite a bit. To bolster the love of bike riding with your child, you need to take every safety precaution available to stack the deck in your favor. Unforeseen crashes happen. Be prepared.

Here are just a few ideas to help protect your child while biking. While no equipment is fool-proof and the odds are good that your little one will inevitably sustain boo-boos, following a stringent safety protocol helps lessen the odds of a severe accident or injury.

Helmet Required – A child’s head is highly susceptible to injury. Even a small bump can cause brain trauma. Most head trauma is avoidable by making sure your youngster wears a properly fitted helmet. Any helmet that you purchase for your child should have a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) sticker affixed to it. The sticker indicates that the helmet has passed the strict safety requirements set forth by the United States government.

Bike helmets need to fit snugly and never slip or slide on the child’s head. Avoid letting your child wear a hat under the helmet or the helmet’s safety ability might be impaired. A properly fitted helmet sits level across the child’s forehead and covers it almost to the eyebrows. Always make sure the straps are firmly attached beneath the child’s chin. A slipping and sliding helmet is ineffective at providing any sort of safety.

Clothing – If you are hitting the roadways or trails for a bike outing, make sure you dress your youngster in bright colors so he is easily spotted by other riders, joggers, or drivers. Shoes should be properly laced up so they don’t drag the ground and pants should not be overly baggy or they may get caught in the bike’s chain. Never let your child wear sandals or flip flops or they could easily skin and peel the skin off their toes during a sudden stop or fall.

Elbow, Knee, and Shin Guards/Pads – At some time, most kids will inevitably hit their shin with the bike’s pedal. Everyone knows that a shin bruise is painful. Often wearing a pair of shin guards helps prevent such an injury.

Eye Protection – Hitting the trails on a mountain bike is an exhilarating experience, but many trails are muddy and filled with rocks or debris. Wearing a pair of safety goggles will help protect your child’s peepers from flying objects.

Reflectors – If you plan to let your child ride near traffic, it is advised that their bike have reflectors to make them instantly visible to motorists.

LED Lights – When riding in the early morning or late evening hours, a headlight and tail light not only helps light up the trail for your child to see obstacles but also makes the child more visible to other bikers, joggers, or motorists in the failing light.

Bike Bell – What child doesn’t like a bell? Besides being fun, a bell is a handy safety item that a parent can teach their child to use appropriately when riding.

Cycling Gloves – A pair of full-finger mountain biking gloves not only provides grip but also helps protect small hands from chafing or skinning during a fall.

Neck Braces and Back Braces – If you are riding technical downhill terrain, elevated wood features, off-camber steep slopes, hucking the drops and jumps, you should consider a neck brace with a full-face helmet and back brace for you and your kids. I’ve taken a hard crash with a neck brace in a bike park and so have my sons. All of our injuries have been limited by always wearing the proper gear.

With the proper equipment, biking can not only be fun but also safe for new and beginning riders alike.

We reproduce below a letter to Red Youth from a young comrade from south-east England focusing on the racial segregation that is driven into the British public through capitalism’s most insidious tool – the private media.

Such contributions are an essential part to the building of a organised mass-movement against the imperialist ruling class. Only by uniting as a class, rather than reacting as artificial divisive groups, can we defeat the parasitic forces of imperialism and secure a peaceful and prosperous future for all.

“Capital is an international force. To vanquish it, an international workers’ alliance, an international workers’ brotherhood, is needed. We are opposed to national enmity and discord, to national exclusiveness. We are internationalists.” (Lenin)

Dear Red Youth,

It is often thrown around in our society that immigrants are to blame for the unemployment of millions of British people. In fact, such things are disseminated daily in the press, acting as the mouthpiece of the capitalist government. People rely on these mouthpieces for news, and therefore are willing to accept most things printed in them, regardless of whether or not the press has committed various atrocities to breach the privacy rights of thousands, such as hacking into and snooping around texts, e-mails, phone calls, etc., with people seeing it as “gossip” that’s perfectly acceptable to get in on and swallow up.

The Daily Mail (or the ideological compass for UKIP) once reported that “29,000,000 Bulgarian and Romanian people” are apparently going to immigrate to the UK when the border restrictions are lifted in 2014! This is nothing short of nonsense straight off the bat given that the combined population of both Romania and Bulgaria just passes 28.5 million people! Are all of the people from both countries suddenly going to immigrate to the UK, leaving the countries completely empty?

But what we must analyse further is why people immigrate to the UK.

The first point is simply wanting a better life elsewhere. There seems to be such a problem with this in Britain, and what often follows is nothing short of racist rhetoric, usually blaming such immigrants for the downfall of Britain, the loss of the apparent “British culture” we once had, and an array of other fallacious appeals that rely on a memory of Britain that never existed.

Capitalism, and in particular its highest state of oppression imperialism, is one of the main reasons as to why people come to the UK, and often it is to escape war zones and poverty implemented by the colonial warmongers themselves armed with weapons and drones funded by international corporations such as McDonald’s and Coca-Cola to name just two. Their funds are just as criminally gained through deforestation to clear paths for factories, farms and capital outputs, and for building factories that pollute the air and rivers of the East and the world.

This example of imperialism’s thirst for super profits and maximising avenues of profitable investment at the expense of the people is just one of many.

The war on Iraq waged by western imperialism through its stooges Blair and Bush was under the guise that the Iraqi government was stockpiling weaponry capable of decimating the west “within 45 minutes”. These claims were found to be baseless, and no such weaponry was ever found once Hussein had been successfully overthrown and executed.

In the pursuit of these make believe aims, two million Iraqi lives were lost— the lives of innocent men, women and children. And what has happened since? Interestingly enough, it should be noted that, since the overthrow of Hussein and the failure to find weaponry, many U.S.-based oil reserves – protected by the American army – have been established in Iraq, as Iraq was (and, for that matter, still is) known as the fifth largest oil reserve in the world. This should come as no shock that invasion happened, as it was in the real pursuit of the benefit and profit of large and expansive oil companies, based mainly the west. And what were the cost of these huge profits and the concentration of capital? It was blood of many thousands of men, women and children.

Imperialism is monopoly capitalism, it is capitalism in its highest form, and it is the gravest threat to the welfare and lives of all people.

Because of these hideous affairs, it should serve as no shock that people wish to flee their countries which have been turned into a war zone. Iraq is just one of the few examples, and even older examples would include India at the height of the British Empire. On more than one occasion, starving Indian workers and peasants were met only with gunfire and steel, not with the help that they required despite serving Britain’s manufacturing needs after having their raw materials and natural resources practically torn from their own lands. This is, as stated, the highest development of capitalism. One country isn’t enough for the endless demands of the profiteers, so they look to export capital to other areas where they are able to extract super profits from the toiling colonial slaves, British colonialism and imperialism spanned a large portion of the planet at one point, colonising many countries.

Furthermore, what of the claims that immigrants come to the UK for welfare?

It is a fact (not a myth, but a fact) that immigrants to the UK have helped build this nation for centuries, there are NO “indigenous” Brits, and with fewer than 10 per cent of recent immigrants actually claiming welfare (equates to around 600,000 out of approximately 9,000,000 foreign nationals residing in this country) a huge majority of foreign nationals are happy to work, pay taxes, bills, and contribute to our on-going cultural development, contrary to popular belief.

The media does not make things so easy as that however. To those who acknowledge this fact an equal supply of misguiding lies make claims that “they take jobs away from British people” to further drive racial division between the working class and further maintain the rule of the exploiting capitalists.

It is not foreign nationals who should bear the brunt of racist nonsense and be blamed for the downfall of Britain, but the bourgeois class who have driven us down into the ground regardless of the length of the dole ques.

Right back at the start of this letter, I stated that it is the capitalist mouthpiece (i.e. the mass media) that is quick to disseminate anti-immigrant propaganda. Millions upon millions of newspapers — which recycle the bourgeois nonsense — are printed and sold daily. From this, think of the sheer amount of people that this information is reaching; it would stretch to nearly every single corner of the UK, resulting in millions in the form of profit for the owners of the media empires. And often it is known for the bourgeois press to recycle and exaggerate sheer nonsense for the sake of “attracting customers”, profits and sales, and expansion.

To conclude, it must always be borne in mind that, if it serves the relevant interest of the bourgeoisie, more often than not, they will repeat it. This is why, often, complete fallacies are recycled and spouted within capitalist press — it serves their interests, and it serves to make profit, so their logic would be: why not? A lot of the time, the press will exaggerate, twist and distort things out of shape to their liking, because it also serves to help maintain their class domination.

In reality, the reasons as to why immigration even happens en masse is often down to the sheer atrocities of capitalism, creating war zones and unsafe environments abroad for the sake of capital, profit, expansion, etc. And, often, war zones lead to the establishment of military-protected oil zones, factories, and workshops. Imperialism makes life unbearable for the vast masses of the planet. Imperialism brings the workers to the proletarian revolution!

Real Science: Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Fire!

Mama Fisi's picture

I usually don't turn in to bed before 11 PM--trying to go to sleep any earlier just results in an hour of staring at a ceiling I can't see, waiting for the Sandman to beat me to death.  Sunday night was no different...well, not quite.  Shortly after I moved the Chihuahua and got settled under the covers, the gap around the shade on the bedroom window flickered brilliantly for a few seconds.  I assumed it was lightning, and thought no more about it.

Brief Hiatus

Dear readers,

With the end of my time in Portland approaching, I find my mind a bit too disorderly to put to work writing analytical discourse this week. I'll be heading north, back home to Bainbridge Island, next Tuesday. If I have any wits left upon my arrival, our next post — on cosmological Solitaire — may be delivered next week. However, please don't be dismayed or upset if another week should pass before we get back on track.

In the meantime, as always, I'll be keeping an eye on the comments, and welcome discussion of our investigations to date.
