A 54-year-old Littleton woman has been missing since Aug. 13 in the Oh Be Joyful Recreation Area near Crested Butte.
The woman, Sherri Ahlbrandt, was hiking with two friends when she decided to continue alone up to Daisy Pass. After sending a text message saying she was near the top of the pass, Ahlbrandt has not been seen or heard from.
The price of a frozen turkey at the neighborhood grocery store doesn't add up for 15-year-old Evan Lim of Littleton.
It costs Lim, a 4-H participant, about $70 for each of the turkeys he's raised from chicks and then processed — a giant jump from the supermarket price.
"It makes you wonder what they're feeding them," Lim said. "It's really important for my family to know where our food comes from."
Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink reported that phone scams and identity theft are on the rise, in his second-quarter report to the county commissioners on Aug. 5.
"With a nationwide increase in frauds, (the Jeffco Sheriff's Office) is streamlining its approach with the use of a fraud reporting hotline," Mink said in his report.
Over-the-phone scams in particular have been on the rise, Mink said.
"We have been inundated with calls and reports," Mink said. "That's why we created the fraud hotline."
The lot behind The Ridge Recreation Center was empty at the start of the day on Aug. 9. By sunset, a new playground had materialized in the space.
More than 250 volunteers from the Columbine Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including about a dozen kids handing out lemonade and water, made quick work of building the playground for the Foothills Park and Recreation District.
The community effort was the fourth time the church has helped build a playground for the district in one day, said event organizer Kerry Schaper.
Expanding the use of social media is a key strategy of the communications and community plan for Jeffco Open Space, which Thea Rock presented to the Open Space Advisory Committee on Aug. 7.
"We have 3,000 people who follow us on Facebook. We would like to increase that to 7,000," Rock said.
Expanding Twitter followers from 1,300 to 5,000 also is in the plan, she said.
"They reach a different demographic," Rock remarked.
A recent study showed that 26 percent of the community would like to receive information about parks through e-mail, and 23 percent use the Internet, said Rock.
Head coach: Brock Blume
Assistant coaches: Chris Olson, Billy Presson, David Palik
Classification: 5A Jeffco
2013 record: 12-4-1, 6-1-1 5A Jeffco
Players to watch: Ben Overholt, Sr., Striker; Jamey McGrath, Sr., Midfielder; Jared Reiss, Sr., Midfielder
Season opener: Aug. 28, at ThunderRidge, 4:30 p.m.
By Craig Harper
For the Courier
Chatfield returns six starters from last year's 5A state-qualifying team. But it's a misleading number, as four of those began the 2014 season in different positions.
"We just lost some key positions," coach Nicole Janssen explained of a revamped lineup for the Aug. 15 opener at D'Evelyn. "We had kids all over the place; it was really awkward for some of them."
The stables at Chatfield State Park are temporarily closed due to a possible outbreak of vesicular stomatitis in the horses. Colorado Parks and Wildlife closed the stables while it waits for test results from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
During the closure, horses can't be taken out of the stables, but owners can enter the stables to care for their animals, said Matt Robbins, a Parks and Wildlife spokesman. Owners who wish to bring their horses to Chatfield to ride may still do so, but Robbins said they will be cautioned about the possible outbreak.
Staunton State Park is known for its beautiful views, rock climbing and scenic hikes, but park organizers are offering free programs in August for visitors to explore lesser-known parts of Colorado's newest state park.
"There's so much more in the park than people realize," said Annie Thran, seasonal park ranger. "We have amazing rocks, waterfalls, fishing ponds; it's just an amazing park."
DENVER — Motivation matters in a sport's offseason, as golfers Lenny Urbas of Evergreen and Scott Robb of Littleton can attest.
Neither player was satisfied with his 2013 high school season and both put in the time and effort to improve for 2014. Based on the opening 4A Jeffco tournament on Aug. 13 at Foothills Golf Course, it was a fait accompli.

Like scavengers, we hunted for driftwood, the perfect rope and paint (not easy to find on island). Then we went bonkers. It was all about tie dying ropes and old, stained napkins, painting driftwood, and stringing holed seashells.
Can't wait to get these handmade treasures hanging up in Luca Bear's room back in NYC.
Pics to come....

Ahoy, NaNo-goers! This post is going to be about scenes. Scenes are important! They are what make up your novel. You are going to write a lot of them. But here's the thing: I have no idea what a scene is. I mean, of course I know what a scene is—it's, you know, a smallish chunk of words and…stuff.
Ugh, right? It hurts to think about.

Filk? What is filk, you ask? In a nutshell, filk is a musical genre inspired by fandom...but as with many fannish things, it's a lot bigger on the inside. Filk is what happens when music and geekdom join hands and frolic off into the sunset, or more appropriately, collide at lightspeed and zoom through the galaxy.
Take note, Whovians: the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who is fast approaching. To help pass the time (get it?!) as we count down to this momentous occasion—and to help welcome the Twelfth Doctor—I've rounded up some inspired, adorable, and occasionally incredibly geeky Doctor Who cross-stitch ideas. So pick a pattern, grab your supplies, and follow me as we allons-y through time and space, one stitch at a time.

LiveChat Funtimes Fanmail Opening!
Hay guise! It's livestream cool-chat funtimes time! Woohoo! Gotta think of a better name… SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMESCHATGOGOSUPER
So, we're trying to do these on a weekly basis. We did them regularly a while ago, but then the site we used couldn't handle the overwhelming nastiness, and then we tucked our tails and ran for a few months. But now we're using YouTube as a platform and it's great! At least, we think it's great. The comments swim by rather quickly on YouTube, and we have to refresh it once in awhile to catch up to everyone, but Twitter's good for us answering people too, I think. Let us know your thoughts if there's anything we should change up! We're just happy to be able to chat with you guise and interact!
Also, I'm sure we won't be just opening packages all the time. We'll be able to do other things, too, surely! We've just stockpiled a bunch of packages and wanted to open them all because we felt bad for those of you who didn't see us open the packages. Ah! Also, I know a lot of people are asking where to send us stuff. Thanks for wanting to send us stuff! You can send it here if you're interested:
Simon and Martina Stawski
Bucheon Woochaegook Saseoham #38
Jung-1 Dong, Wonmi-Gu
Bucheon-Si, Gyeonggi-Do, 420-600
South Korea
Yes, it's our old PO Box from Bucheon, but they're nice enough to forward all of the mail going there, to us here in Seoul, so…Yay! We tried to find a new PO Box here in Seoul, but it seems like it's almost impossible because once people claim a PO Box it's hard to kick them out even if they aren't getting any mail. Poo poo! But we haven't given up!
Anyhow, thank you so much to everyone who sent us fun stuff! We got stuff from Israel, Germany, UK, Newfoundland, P.E.I (Caaaanada), Baton Rouge, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Indiana
So a very big thank you to: Cindy, Kateyln and Candice, Michal and Opal, Louis, Sanya, Natalia and An, Hali, Robyn and Maria, Timothy and Teresa, Alexa and Whitney, Macy and Lily, Madeline, Maja and Samantha! I hope that was everyone (we took your names from the fan mail after we read it, thank you for the super thoughtful handwritten letters).
We got some beautiful fan art! This is perfect for us, because we're really trying to fill up our KpopCharts/K Crunch Indie wall with fan art, and we filmed the segments yesterday and had some blank spots, but now we're gonna be full! Woohoo! Not to mention, the awesome and artsy plush toys of Meemers and Spudgy! Props and art all in one.
Thanks for the potential Kpop Music Monday skit props. We love moustaches. We have so many, but the problem with moustaches is that they lose their stickiness, so having more moustaches in storage is HIGHLY USEFUL! Not to mention, the sperm and egg toys. So many uses.
And, one last thing: we love all the snacks that you're sending us, but, umm, that's how we got fat before. We used to eat it all. Now, we share it with our friends. You know, we should have shared it with our friends before, now that we think about it. Maybe we wouldn't have got so fat, but that's besides the point. We like other things, too! Not just snacks! Fun props, coffee beans, healthy snacks like nuts, and other such non highly sugary things…not that we don't like it, we just are trying to avoid putting weight back on. :o
Last thing: vote for us for the Shorty Awards! If you like our show and like what we're doing here at eatyourkimchi, tweet a vote for us! If we win, we will go to New York City! OMG! That'll be awesome!
Filed Under:Live Chats
Dzień dobry to you too :D
I recently found a recipe for home made Ranch and instantly thought about you
I have the same balloon phobia Simon – latex balloons are the enemy! I live in Hawaii but I just came back from a six week vacation in Europe where I found Kinder Eggs (brought some home for my nephews) and got hooked on pretty much every Kinder product available especially ChocoFresh *sob*. If you can get Kinder Pingui or the Happy Hippos…Simon might give up Ranch ;>D
You guys really need to come to Australia.
we have Korean seaweed snack packs at the local super Walmart here in Oklahoma city. ^_^ the packs look pretty similar in size and shape as well. Orion and I love it.. the rest of the household can't stand seaweed unless its in kimbap lol. they started stocking it at the wally world a few months ago, and we've been addicted ever since :)
you know the package is from germany when it's yellow and totally fucked up to open it xD and the reason why we german peeps can't watch the live chats is 'cuz we have something called GEMA who wants youtube to pay money because of copyright issues and because youtube doesn't want to pay they are like "THIS VIDEO IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY"… yay… good thing we have proxtube!
oh my god i have the same hello kitty toy from mcdonalds it great
How do you watch these when they are live? I kow there on youtube and twitter and I have both but I dont know the time and how to access it? Does any Nastys on here no how? (with the time thig I live in Springfield Illinois, USA)
Simon, kocham Twój polski! Martyna – oby tak dalej ;) więcej polskiego nigdy nie zaszkodzi :P
PLEASE SEND THEM SUPER SOUR WARHEADS AND HAVE THEM DO A SOUR CHALLENGE WITH IDOLS! THE FACES THEY WOULD MAKE MAUAHAHAHAHHA! Sorry I got so excited at the thought.
Am I the one the video never works for on the eyk website? I always have to click over to yt to watch it. Just wondering.
cmon NASTIES UNITE and lets VOTE for simon and martina to win the shorty award for best webshow! theyre in second place with ~744 votes and in first place morelikeradio.com has ~1046 votes. If we put the same voting effort into the shorty awards as we do the kpop charts, Simon and Martina would totally win. So go vote! FIGHTING!!
the yellow shkedei marak from israel- the big bag is a small snack that you place in a soup before eating. its crunchy and yummy and every kid who hates soup begins to love it due to those
There is currently a petion on whitehouse.gov to get the Kinder Egg Ban reviewed in hopes to have it recinded. The petition needs 25000 sigs and is now at just over 3k.
love your live chats! and the fact that i understood your Korean! Huzzah! My lessons are paying off! :D annyeonghi gasaeyo!
I love watching you guys do the live chat, although I never get to see them live but I will one of these day. my favorite part is when Martina popped the coffee bag and spilled the bean and also the balloon. I am excited to see how the studio will look when it is completely finish. Also I was thinking that you guys should get like an autograph book so that when you do get to interview K-POP groups and other artist, they should sign it and in the future you can brag to people. Like "Look here, we got to talk with so-and-so, jealous?"
Love you guys keep making funny videos. <3
Bao-Yen Nguyen
I was just playing with those microbe stuffed animal things in my AP Biology class today! There is also stomach ache, e coli, polio, red blood cell, fat cell ones and many others. My class also had the egg and sperm cell ones :P
I love watching EYK livechats! I watched the studio tour one live, but wasn't able to watch this one live since I'd worked that day and fell asleep before I could watch it! :'( I even wrote it down in my diary and calandar and set notifications for myself and STILL wasn't able to watch it! :( It was only on at 9pm where I am too. Anyways, keep making awesome, hilarious, nasty vids guys! :) <3
You guys should bring your entire collection of Reese chocolates to your office and share it with your co-workers and guests and everyone else who might come over :D
*sigh* once again I WAS AT SCHOOL T.T. the only way for me to be at a live chat is that you do it between 10 am to 2 pm ( your time) BAY AREA CALI WOOT WOOT
waaaaaah! T^T Your yummy snack makes me so sad because seaweed is so delicious but i can't have it because i'm allergic!!! T T
Can't you guys save the food for later on in the year? I doubt they expire within a month or anything x]
I understood half of that mug you read out loud
Random question? what is your hat size Simon????
Do you guys still read books? I'm surprised no one sends you any. What kind of books do you miss? Favourite Authors? Any books that are on your wishlist? I'd love to send to you guys some! :)
Someone should send them EYK fan fiction. I read one with spudgy and meemers o.o It was a crackfic though.. :D
I worn you don't eat the Pumpkin Spice Pudding. My family eat it and we all thought it was so gross and we love pumpkin pie.
Nasties, go vote for them for the shorty awards! Simon and Martina are in second place! Come ooooooooooooooooooooon! If we can pull it of for kpop we can do it for them!
Okay, this questions is mostly for Martina. Since you've been living in Korea, have you had to pay any special attention to the jewelry you buy to make sure you don't have any allergic reactions to it? I've noticed that a lot of jewelry that I find from Korea has a higher nickel content than jewelry I buy here in America so I was wondering.
You should share the candy with the people you interview as well. Especially the boy idol bands. Boys are always hungry.
Sadness! I sent you guys a package but it must have not made it through…..D: >.<
AHHHHhhhh~~~~Thanks so much for sharing this!
OI SIMON. MARTINA. You need to respond to this post, cause it concerns your fanmail that I will send you.
Martina: shoe size and favorite style?
Simon: Pants size and suit size?
Things you miss most from North America?
Also Martina: dress size? I plan on sending you a wardrobe of goodies.
You had dwarf hamsters! Ohh , I also had two hamsters! Hamsters are the best !
Maybe a random question, but do you ever wear fake nails Martina? I do nail art and would love to send you some but that's the only way I know how :D
I love these live chats! :3 I really wanna send you guise a package too. Umm… what to send? *panicking*
…..I've also never had a "Kinder Egg"……thing…. :/
What is that????? I'm from Florida, so I'm not familiar with whatever that is….
Halp? I've heard y'all mention it before, but I didn't know what you guise were talking about…. Is it candy? Just a toy? Both? O_o
it's an egg shaped chocolate, milkchocolate on the outside, and white chocolate in the inside, you will find a littre toy inside. It won't fill you up, but it's fun assembling the puzzle/plane and it is quite tasty. I used to eat them when I was a child. You should try them!
Fellow Floridian here :P Kinder eggs are actually banned in the USA. I think it's because of the toys inside, our government thinks we're dumb and we'll eat the toys.
Yeah, I searched for info on the ban, and there's a petition going to get it….un-banned? Lol! To legalize it, I guess. I didn't know that chocolate and small toys could be so fatal to the entire US. Good to know. :3
Don't worry Simon I share your fear of balloons!
I literally cried with laughter when the balloon blew back on Martina! Hahahahahha :'D
Oh -_- => got to learn that I can´t vote for you, because of the 7th January-thing :( Well, sorry I can´t – but here anyway!!!!: I nominate @eatyourkimchi for a Shorty Award in #webshow because thay make any day the most fun! You are the cutest/most fun persons and I really enjoy following and watching your programs! Fighting!
As Stedy asked, is it possible to give you things directly!? – or at least go somewhere close to you and submit!? And like many maybe is wondering: Where do we send things now!? Is it like Guest answered Sharon!?
That CD was mine, I'm Maria :).. I have a stage name Rea. :) I hope you guys like it !
Today I got rejected from Oxford university and was quite miserable and then I found out you guys were doing a live chat! You guys cheered me up so much, thank you :D
What size shirts do you guys wear? I am thinking about sending over some shirts in my package but I don't want to get the sizes wrong.
Martina's coffee and balloon moments were epic!!..made my day!! kkk……you guise are soooo cuteeee!!=^.^=
we had a product similar to Kinderegg called the Wonderball but they were considered a choking hazard and were taken off the market its back on the market but changed the prize and is less like the Kinderegg
I am from germany and i always watch the chats when they are online.. but never the real life stream T__T
Use Google Chrome and install the plugin Proxtube, then you can watch them live :) This unlocks the blocking for livestreams. This also works for videos which have been blocked by the gema.
This is unfortunately the only way for German people to enjoy all the videos and livestreams.
thank you, i will try it out :) germany sucks -.-
Man,I was going to watch it live,but I forgot it because of all the paper work I have to do :(
Anyhow,greeting for Israel!!! :) I know there are a few more Nasties here,but I still didn't get the chance to talk to them (busy busy uni student ><)
I became a fan only a month ago or so,but really guys,you're amazing! I wish you the best of luck with the grand opening of your new studio (it looks freaking cool,btw),I'll be anticipating your new videos,you really spark up my day ToT
I loved watching your Live Chats. I actually saw it live this time…yeah! I was wondering…where do we mail things to you? I am from the state of Virginia here in the USA and I would like to share some neat treats and things, but I have no address. Could you please supply one? Thank you.
Also, a question for you to answer. Since I am an older woman…relatively speaking…(50ish) I was wondering what do women my age do? I know that is an open question and you mainly speak on the younger crowd, but the life of someone my age would interest me.
And, are you two planning on having children and if you do will you stay in Korea and raise them as Koreans or return to Canada and raise them as Canadians? Personal question I know, but I am a mom and I am just interested.
Okay, thank you once again…
Mrs. Sharon Beale
Hopefully it's the right one. I found this address from one of their WTF videos before. =)
Eat Your Kimchi
Bucheon Woochaegook Saseoham #38
Jung 1 Dong, Wonmi-Gu
Bucheon-Si Gyeonggi-Do 420-600
South Korea
they dont live in Bucheon anymore
Yeah, but they still use that PO box. And they said that's their address here ^ :)
If you have live chats regularly that'll be awesome! >_< I just hope you change the time a bit every time so people who have different time zones can attend :3
Yeah, we're thinking about changing the times. We're fiddling around with different time zones to see which one would be the most successful :D
Just for you guise, I'm gonna create a twitter account to vote for y'all.
I wish that would work, but the rules of the contest is that only accounts created before January 7th can vote :(
Therefore, harass all your friends to vote for EYK! FOR SCIENCE!
I have a question: If I go to Korea, it would be possible give you some stuff personaly? Or, I don't know, let it in your studio… 'Cause, yeah, I'm saving money to go to Korea, but I have some cool stuff for you, and if I spend the money sending it to Korea, I'll not have money to go to Korea, and… yeah, you understand. >.<
So, it'll be possible?
Awesome live chats – I felt included this time! Yay!
And YouTube is much better than the other site – no freezing, lagging, weirdness. I love it!
Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to send you guise something!
The livestream was fun to watch. ^^
You wanted a proof of Germans watching your Livestream. I made a screenshot. :) (I'm from Southern Germany)
Having to use a proxy is really annoying, as there is no senseful explanation of why youtube is blocking livestreams here in Germany, 'cause you are not infringing any GEMA-related or other copyright-issue related stuff.
Oh well, but as long as there is a way to watch your livestreams :D
Thanks for taking the time and making those <3
Ha! I love your screenshot captions :D But, I think that Germany is blocking potential copyright issues, because we might play music over the livestream? I don't know.

Has anyone figured this one out yet. I'm having same problem.
Trace flag is set
alert is enabled
I caused an error 1205 and did not receive the alert.
my 2ct
- did you stop and restart sqlagent _after_ you enabled the (first) alert ?
- also add traceflag 3605 for more deadlockinfo in the sqlservereventlog.
found two articles. the first is the MS article I found. THe problem described is not the same problem. but the behavior is the same. The second is an atricle about deadlocks and the author states that you must start or restart the sql server.
I did a lot of testing on this ad the final solution was to restart the SQL Server. I think I reset up the Alert and restated the SQL Server.
This is similar to this post
Is this a secret double life?
don't need trace flag 3605, just need 1204
Try this to set the alert up:
EXEC dbo.sp_add_alert 'Error 1205 - Deadlock detected', 1205, 0, 1, 60, NULL, 5 EXEC dbo.sp_add_notification 'Error 1205 - Deadlock detected', 'whoever', 5
This works for me...

Roofer-turned-cosmetologist Garret Vogler opened Suite 101 Salon as a place to share his passion for precision haircuts and creative color. He is joined by a team of fellow stylists who embrace his enthusiasm for keeping ladies, gents, and life-like droids looking their best. The salon also offers body-waxing services and stocks its shelves with products from lines such as Paul Mitchell, Matrix Biolage, and China Glaze.
The professionals at Salem's Elite Hair Salon & Spa bring more than 20 years of experience to the styling table. When they aren't busy taming manes or weaving in dimensional highlights, Sheri, and Lisa Ann can be found performing a slew of other feel-good treatments, such as waxing services that allow clients to duct-tape themselves to each other without fear of a painful aftermath.
Aesthetician Jodi customizes her facials to ensure that each client's issues are addressed. She focuses on fighting acne, sopping up excess oil, and smoothing fine lines. A microdermabrasion wand helps her remove the outer layers of dead skin cells, so skin looks billions of seconds younger. She also happily waxes off unwanted facial fuzz for a smooth surface.
Esquire named Hair M the best barber in Portland in 2010, and CitySearch followed suit two years later. The barbershop has also been featured in the New York Times, Men's Health magazine, and the nightmares of unibrows everywhere. The evidence is plain?a man can get a mean haircut at Hair M. But the business offers so much more.
An environment of rugged wood paneling punctuated with HDTVs tuned to sports channels makes the most style-phobic fellow feel welcome, and the bar serving Widmer beers and fine wines doesn't hurt either. Besides regal grooming services, Hair M performs upscale face and body treatments, and keeps a massage therapist on staff at both locations.
Licensed aesthetician Betty Vang works at Spades Lash Beauty Bar, located within 77 Salon, to beautify her clients with eyelash extensions. Her steady hand allows her to precisely place individual silk or mink eyelashes along the lash line, and depending on her clients' wishes, the results can be natural or dramatic looking. Betty also can care for the rest of the body, threading or waxing off unwanted hair or perform the Rep?chage Four Layer Facial, a technique called "the best facial of the Century" by Cosmopolitan UK magazine.
For the past eight years, stylist and salon owner Sia has honed in on trimming male tresses. She lines her shelves with products from American Crew, Paul Mitchell, and Redken for Men—all in an effort to produce stylish, professional cuts. But along with treating hair to high-quality serums, Sia aims to make the experience as tranquil as can be. She puts clients at ease with her friendly personality, and helps relax the senses with hot steamed towels and an invigorating scalp massage.

Tizen SDK Beta, Source Code Available
Published on 01 March 2012 07:33 AM EST
Written by

3 Comments
Tizen, the Moblin-Maemo-MeeGo offspring, has seen its release of its SDK, the SDK source-code, the Tizen Web UI framework, and the Tizen Web API as beta. The developers still plan to have a final Tizen release out in the second quarter of this year.
The Tizen SDK provides support for Windows and Ubuntu while the source-code to it is available so it could in fact be ported to other platforms.
The widget-oriented Tizen Web UI framework is an extension of jQuery Mobile. The Tizen Web API has picked up new features as well for doing matters like accessing an alarm, accessing media content, retrieving system information, and more.
Tizen isn't yet ready for use in a production capacity, but they're still targeting a Q2'2012 release.

When I was a kid, my parents took us camping. At some point, they needed a break. (I think they wanted to hump in the camper.) Dad was clever. He asked who could run up a hill, fastest. Without even finishing his sentence, we were off—we never asked why.
The smart kids in The Valley have us doing the same. We chase follows, likes, and views, but fail to consider what to do upon getting them. While the value of these metrics may be questionable, achieving them is seen as a win. Few are wise enough to ask whether these numbers matter.
Having an audience can help you get paid and that's good. Putting your focus solely on building a following is a fool's game, though. This pursuit of recognition is boring, and a terribly crowded race.
While you have little control over others' attention, you have full control of what you make. So, why not put your effort into building something beautiful? Doing so is infinitely more rewarding than bombarding friends with junk. The result may even be something you can promote—should you suffer the need to do so."

We went ahead and headed to the beautiful island of Maui this past October on our school break. It would be pretty tough to get here in...
We will be hitting 44 of the 50 states along our RV tour! (Already did Hawaii and Alaska will be in the spring..) Since we are focusing...
Dana Point, California is where we normally spend all of our family down time, school breaks and summer vacations. It is a beautiful, relaxing spot in Orange...
Our family of six is on a family sabbatical traveling by motorhome around the United States. Keith's job as a coach/scout with the Chicago Blackhawks combined with our kids competitive travel sports schedules has ruled our lives. We decided to stop the madness for the next seven months and experience all that our country has to offer together… We are currently with family in LINCOLN, RHODE ISLAND.
One of the top places on my list that I wanted to visit along this trip was Mackinac Island in Michigan. I'd always seen beautiful pictures and heard great things about northern Michigan so I wanted to check it out for myself!
We enjoyed our stay at the KOA in Mackinaw City and took the ferry over to Mackinac Island for the day. Who knew that the two places were spelled differently but pronounced the same? Not I.
It was a gorgeous summer Saturday on the island, so it was packed with people everywhere. After eating lots of fudge, we rented bikes and headed off the 8 plus miles all the way around. Any time I can jump on my bike and ride amidst beautiful scenery I am in my happy place! The sun shining, a little quiet time and a little exercise equals a win-win! I loved riding behind Keith and Morgan riding tandem. They made me smile too.
Back on the mainland, we had the chance to go to the Jack Pine Lumberjack Show! We were really excited to go as we have never seen competing lumberjacks in a live show before and we had not run across any other opportunities to do so along our travels yet. Always love an opportunity to learn something new combined with competition and laughter!
Owner Dan McDonough is a nine-time world champion Logroller himself and has traveled around with the sport since he was 18 years old! Not only will he take your ticket as you enter and play DJ throughout the show, but he does a fantastic job of engaging the crowd with his witty humor as well. Jack Pine Lumberjack Shows is in it's 7th season in this beautiful spot in Mackinaw and entertains anywhere from 50-250 guests nightly during it's season of May through September.
The hour(ish) long show is a Medieval Times type of a competition where the audience is divided up into two rival logging camps where you are assigned a lumberjack to cheer on. The two competing lumberjacks demonstrate turn of the century skills of chopping, sawing, axe throwing, pole climbing, logrolling and more! Tough stuff!
Admission to the outdoor show is only $13 for adults (15 and over) and $9 for seniors and children, making this an affordable family night out in Mackinaw! Thanks Jack Pine Lumberjack Shows for having our family! Dan said there are a few other permanent show sites in Wisconsin, Gatlinburg, Alaska and Maine. Have you ever been to a Lumberjack show?
I feel so blessed to have made it to Baltimore to be with Mary and her family for Maryellen's service. Everyone who spoke of Maryellen spoke of her gentle love and how she lived her life giving and surrounding herself with love. Ironically, the next post I was about to write before she passed was about loved ones.
We have spent the past few weeks in the midwest visiting with close family in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Living in the west, like we do, isn't conducive to a lot of time visiting family. In Louisville we had a ball visiting Louisville Slugger, Churchill Downs and Mammoth Cave. But the real highlight was my cousin Zach and his family driving over from Lexington to have dinner with us at the campground!
Next on the route was Indianapolis. We see my parents in Arizona more than we are able to make it to them, so it's always a treat to go home to Indy and feel the love! Thanks to their neighbors for letting us park our home on the street for a couple of days without any hassle!
Next up was Sister Kerry and her family in Cincinnati. We had a packed three days making up for lost time with these guys. My parents followed us over to Ohio and spent half of the time with us. We enjoyed a childhood staple of mine at Kings Island all together and then Kerry took me for a much needed highlight and haircut before we headed to the Cincinnati Reds vs. Boston Red Sox game!
I can't express how much we loved our time in the midwest with our family. It's been the biggest blessing of buying this RV and doing this crazy trip! We have reconnected with so many friends that we haven't seen in years, along our route as well. Love you all!!
Please excuse today's blog entry as it's not my normal post with pretty pictures and happy travel reviews but it's today's truth. This post would've remained in my personal journal before this trip. But, since you are along with me on this ride and have asked for the truth, here you go….
Today I am feeling trapped by this RV. Suffocated by our cross country campground tour. My best friend Mary's Mom died and I'm feeling overwhelmed not being there. In upstate New York, I am much closer in distance to their home in Maryland than normal, but yet I am hours away from an airport and honestly just can't figure out how to get there before her Mom's service, which is 24 hours from now.
Who cares about touring Lake Placid at a time like this? Who cares about any of it? My friend's Mom passed away and I need to be there. I need to get there to hug her and cry with her and tell her it's so not fair in person. She tells me that it's ok and that she understands if I can't make it. She's giving me an "out" as she usually does, but something in me isn't buying it.
Our family has missed numerous celebrations to do this trip. Celebrations we would've really liked to have been at. We've missed Bar Mitzvahs, Graduations, parties and weddings. All the fun celebrations that a normal summertime brings. I even turned down a keynote speaking opportunity for a blog conference that I really wanted to do. Just stay focused. We committed to this trip and everyone understands. But, today I just want to be back in my normal existence where I could've just jumped on a plane from Phoenix to Baltimore without thinking twice. Instead my head has been spinning trying to figure out how to get to Mary from here. So close yet so far. After researching my options for hours last night, I decided to sleep on it and knew that God would lead me in the morning.
When I woke up today, I decided that I wasn't going to leave my family to drive to Lake Placid without me. I decided that it all felt too much to figure out so I called Mary in tears to tell her that I just couldn't make it. I knew deep in my soul that I should be there and that I want to be there, but I didn't know how to make it happen. I'm not in my element. I am in the middle of a campground, in an RV, in the pouring rain, in the middle of our epic trip. I just can't make it. She'll understand.
With tears streaming down my face, I made the phone call to tell her I wouldn't be there. She picked up the phone without a hello and sobbing said, I am not ok Amy. I am just not ok. I keep telling everyone I'm ok, but I'm just not. Then, there was nothing but tears between us. God had spoken and I would find my way to her. My family would understand and would be capable to continue on a few hours and set up home in Lake Placid without me. They would have to.
Mary and I have been pals since we met in 4th grade. Her family moved to Maryland our junior year of high school and we vowed to remain the best of friends. We have lived on different coasts for 20 plus years now but have remained close despite the distance. We have seen each other through first crushes, first and second marriages, first babies and now a first death of a parent. I will be there. I will see you through this as well my friend.
I walked back into the RV and said to my husband. I have to go. Please help me make it happen and just book the closest train station to get me there. And he did. The stress of getting on an airplane just made the relaxation of my friend Amtrak more appealing for my travel today down to Baltimore. The price was the exact same for a one way ticket as the flight on Southwest and I could've been there in an hour and a half instead of 6 hours, but I needed this time to decompress. I also thought that dropping me off at the Albany train station would be easier with the big rig than an airport! Plus, I didn't bring a suitcase or any travel sized toiletries along in the RV so it felt nice to just throw stuff in a bag without thinking about how many ounces it was or how sharp it may be. Another Amtrak plus.
Then I realized I didn't even bring along an outfit for such an occasion. When I skimmed my closet, I came to a dress I picked up in an Omaha boutique. I had pictured wearing it out one night on a dinner date with my husband, most likely when we returned to Arizona. It's the only piece of clothing I've bought along the journey so far. Who knew it's what I would now be wearing to my best friend's Mom's funeral.
Today I took a detour from our family's planned trip to tend to a friend. To say goodbye to a sweet, loving woman who's house I grew up in and to help bring comfort to her daughter. I think my kids can learn from this just as they have been learning about our countries history and landmarks along the way. Close friendships and loving relationships are life's most precious gifts. May we always remember to take the time to invest in those who have brought joy, love and happiness to our lives. I'm on my way friend.

This hotel has an excellent location next to a grocery store and a short walk from many of the excellent restaurants as well as the well known Larco Mart in the Miraflores district. For the price, however, far better accommodation was expected and could be found in other nearby places.

Special dividend
A special dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders that the company declares to be separate from the typical recurring dividend cycle, if any, for the company. Usually when a company raises its normal dividend, the investor expectation is that this marks a sustained increase. In the case of a special dividend, however, the company is signalling that this is a one-off payment. Therefore, special dividends do not markedly affect valuation or yield calculations. Typically, special dividends are distributed if a company has exceptionally strong earnings that it wishes to distribute to shareholders or if it is making changes to its financial structure, such as debt ratio.
A prominent example of a special dividend was the $3 dividend announced by Microsoft in 2004 to partially relieve its balance sheet of a large cash balance.[1] A more recent example of a special dividend is the $1 dividend announced by SAIC (U.S. company) in 2013, just prior to it splitting off its solutions business into a new company named Leidos.[2]
Payment date[edit]
For special dividends, the ex-dividend date is set according to the size of the dividend in relation to the price of the security, and dividends or distributions of less than 25% are subject to the 'regular' rules for ex-dividend dates.
However, dividends or distributions of more than 25% are subject to 'special' rules for ex-dividend dates. The major difference here is that for these larger distributions or dividends the ex-dividend date is set as the day after payment.[3]
For these larger 'special dividends', the ex-dividend date is one stock trading day after the dividend date (the date on which dividend payment is made, typically after the record date). The stock will trade on an ex-distribution basis (adjusted for the amount of the dividend paid) on the trading day after the dividend date.
To be entitled to a special dividend of less than 25%, you need to be a stockholder on the record date. To be a stockholder on the record date, your purchase would need to have been made a minimum of three business days prior to the record date. The ex-dividend date, i.e. the first date in which a new buyer of shares would not be entitled to the dividend, is two business days prior to the record date (see ex-dividend date for exceptions).
In the case of a special dividend of 25% or more, special rules apply. If you sell stock after the record date but before the ex-dividend date, your shares will be sold with a book entry sometimes called a "due bill," which denotes that though the company will pay the dividend to your account (as the shareholder of record), your account must, in turn, turn that dividend over to the buyer of your stock. Conversely, if you buy stock after the record date but before the ex-dividend date of a large special dividend, you are entitled to the dividend and will receive it via the due bill process.
As is the case with all dividends, selling your stock prior to the ex-dividend date relinquishes your right to the dividend. The earliest you can sell your stock and still be entitled to the special dividend is the date the stock begins trading on an ex-distribution basis, or one day after the dividend date, on the ex-dividend date.
In simplest terms, the "record date" usually, but not always (because of the case of large special dividends), determines who is entitled to a dividend. The ex-dividend date always identifies who is ultimately entitled to receive a dividend.

By Peter Knegt and Eric Kohn | Indiewire February 5, 2014 at 12:26PM
The 64th Berlin International Film Festival kicks off tomorrow, offering dozens (and dozens) of world premieres across multiple sections. By the time the festival's Golden and Silver Bears are handed out next weekend, we'll have a good idea as to some of the best world cinema coming to theaters near you (eventually, that is -- some of last year's program is just coming out Stateside now).
In the past few years, the festival has proven itself -- perhaps more than it has in some time -- as an excellent platform for emerging and proven talent in world cinema to debut their work.
The past couple years have collectively offered the likes of Călin Peter Netzer's "Child's Pose," Bruno Dumont's "Camille Claudel 1915," Sebastián Lelio's "Gloria," Asghar Farhadi's "A Separation," Wim Wenders' "Pina," Paolo & Vittorio Taviani's "Caesar Must Die," Michael R. Roskham's "Bullhead," Benoit Jacquot's "Farewell My Queen," Bela Tarr's "The Turin Horse," Kim Ngyuen's "War Witch," Ulrich Kohler's "Sleeping Sickness," and Ralph Fiennes' "Coriolanus." Not bad for a festival that many felt had found itself in a threatening slump a few years prior.
So what's likely to follow in those films' collective footsteps this year? Hard to say. Berlin has become a festival of unexpected discovery. Few would have ever foreseen going into 2011's event that "A Separation" would end up an Oscar winner, for example. Nonetheless, as we board our flights, here's 10 of our best bets:
Previous Golden Bear winner Claudia Llosa ("Milk of Sorrow," 2009) constructs a bizarre tale involving a man with healing powers in search of his long-lost mother in a frosty climate. Co-starring Cillian Murphy and Jennifer Connelly, Llosa's film promises a quiet, strange tone heavier on mood than plot, which is always a welcome approach from a seasoned filmmaker in control of the medium's powers. It doesn't hurt that the premise has a fairy tale-like quality: Connelly plays the aforementioned mother, helped by a journalist (Melanie Laurent) to reunite with her son Ivan (Murphy) at a frozen lake. The mystery of how things got that way makes this latest effort from a proven director well worth the anticipation.
"Blind Massage"
Chinese director Lou Ye has been known to challenge audiences with experimental and uncensored storytelling methods in the past, and his latest feature sounds like no exception: The story of a man at a massage parlor who lost his sight, "Blind Massage" was apparently shot with real blind performers woven into an alternately tender and bleak drama involving the main character's love life and other complications. Ever the formalist, Lou's techniques are said to evoke the experiences of his blind characters, hopefully yielding a thoroughly unique cinematic experience.
"Butter on the Latch"/"Thou Mast Wild and Lovely"
When Josephine Decker's "Butter on the Latch" premiered at the Maryland Film Festival last year, Indiewire deemed it "a sexy, wild romp you have to see to believe." In addition to bringing her experimental, nightmarish and sensual psychodrama to Berlin with a slightly longer cut, Decker is also unveiling another dark feature, "Thou Mast Wild and Lovely," starring Joe Swanberg as a farm hand who falls for the cryptically seductive daughter of his employer. Decker's subjective camerawork, jittery editing technique and haunting atmosphere echoes David Lynch, but has its own poetic strengths. With two clear-cut illustrations of her filmmaking voice, Decker is poised to receive attention as a daring artist on the international stage.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel"
It's hard to say Wes Anderson is on a roll since he never really slowed down, but "The Grand Budapest Hotel" looks like another capricious delight from America's great chronicler of whimsical personalities. Set in the Europe of the 1920's, the movie features Ralph Fiennes as a noted hotel concierge framed for murder and hiding from the police; meanwhile, Bill Murray naturally finds his way into the story as the manager of a rival hotel. Early buzz and trailers indicate an elegant, snappy comedy, confirming Anderson's claims that he's working in the tradition of great screwball director Ernst Lubitsch. While Anderson's style might be easy to parody and sometimes too precious for its own good, there's no doubting that he ranks among the more enjoyably inventive entertainers working in film today. And we'll get more proof of why when "Budapest" opens Berlin tomorrow night.
"History of Fear"
This competition entry from first-time Argentinian director Benjamin Naishtat promises a quasi-post-apocalyptic tale about a society on the verge of collapse. Four years in the making, the drama promises a dark, murky exploration of socio-economic problems rendered in complex allegorical terms. The prominent slot given to the film and its alluring trailer suggest a unique experience bound to generate conversation in the wake of its premiere. Watch the trailer here.
"Nymphomaniac, Part 1: Long Version"
The first part of Lars Von Trier's epic is already out in some countries, and played a secret screening at Sundance. But in Berlin, we get the first look at Lars' true vision. His longer director's cut is having its world premiere at the fest, and we couldn't be more excited. Especially since early reviews of the edited version already suggest that Von Trier's film, which features a cast that includes Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgaard, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman and Shia LaBeouf among many other familiar faces, brings an enticing literary and philosophical sensibility to its lewd subject matter. It'll likely be another reminder that no matter how much people like to characterize Von Trier as a provocateur, the ideas embedded in his work resonate even louder than the shocks.
"She's Lost Control"
Also recently announced as a selection for this year's SXSW Film Festival, first-timer Anja Marquardt's drama stars Brooke Bloom (last seen in 2013's sleeper festival hit "Swim Little Fish Swim") as a sex surrogate who falls in love with her client. In a recent coversation with Indiewire, SXSW head Janet Pierson called the film "really beautifully done," and the official synopsis refers to the film's "stylistically precocious" feel. Set in New York City, "She's Lost Control" has the aura of a real discovery -- a story of eroticism that isn't purely designed to titillate, focused on the emotional forces behind those who choose sexuality as their profession.
"The Two Faces of January"
Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst and Oscar Isaac star in this adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel of the same name (directed by Hossein Amini, who adapted the screenplay for "Drive"), with Mortensen and Dunst starring as a couple who have fled to Greece after the con-artist husband killed a police officer. Oscar Isaac joins them a stranger who weasels his way into their lives, causing unexpected repercussions. Seeing as the author of the source material also penned "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (as well as Todd Haynes' upcoming "Carol"), we can expect plenty of globe-trotting characters hanging out in luxurious locations cloaked in a tinge of intrigue and tension when "January" debuts in Berlin.
"Yves Saint Laurent"
Jalil Lespert is bringing the story of famed fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent to the big screen in this biopic. On paper, his definitely makes for a cinematic story. The film begins in late 1950s Paris, when Saint Laurent takes up a position as assistant to couturier Christian Dior and then is suddenly made artistic director of one of the world's most renowned fashion houses when Dior abruptly dies. Starring Pierre Niney as Saint Laurent, the film continues chronologically as the designer navigates the intense rise of his fame and the self-destructive nature of his social life. We're very curious to see how this translates onto the screen.
Indiewire will be offering full coverage from the 64th Berlin International Film Festival beginning tomorrow.

The Reboot's Uniforms & Why They Are Sexist
Why are you ranting about this? you ask rhetorically.
I ignore the facetiousness of your tone and tell you anyway.
Starfleet is a para-military organization. It's structure follows a chain of command. Responsibility and authority flow from the top of the command structure down. Authority and responsibility are not invested in the people, but in the positions they hold. For example, if Dr. McCoy is relieved of duty, he would not longer be Chief Medical Officer aboard the Enterprise. The next person in the chain of command would take his place.
Now, let's play a game with hypotheticals, shall we?
Let's say that instead of Dr. McCoy being relieved of duty, he is incapacitated while serving aboard the Enterprise. This happens during an emergency situation. People are pouring into Sickbay, and many of them are from different departments, with no idea who is in-charge in Sickbay. They need a way of quickly knowing who is in-charge so that they can be treated. Luckily for them, Starfleet has foreseen this calamity. All they need to do is look at the uniforms and the badges. They look for blue, see a medical comm-badge, and then glance at the acting CMO's sleeve. They immediately know who is coordinating medical treatment in this crisis.
Now, let's play another round of this game…
In this version, Dr. McCoy is incapacitated during a medical emergency just like the last situation, but in this situation, the acting Chief Medical Officer is a woman. People pour into Sickbay from different departments, not knowing who is in-charge. They look around for blue shirts and medical comm-badges, but the highest ranking personnel they see is an ensign. They ask him for help, interrupting what he is doing. He directs them to the acting CMO. All of this happens over the span of a few minutes, but in the chaos of the emergency, these minutes make the difference between life and death of the people being treated.
You can see why this might begin to cause an issue.
Similarly, let's say that Lt. Uhura commands a random ensign to do something of the utmost importance. On a ship as large as the Enterprise, this ensign does not recognize Lt. Uhura. They know who she is, but they haven't seen her that much, spending most of their time in Engineering. They then spend the time to ask who she is before following the order. In an emergency situation, that time is precious.
Perhaps that example works even better with Lt. Marcus, who is actually a new addition to the Enterprise crew. It is highly conceivable that her new crewmates would be unaware as to her identity and rank.
There is literally no mechanism for crewmembers to immediately asses the rank of the women serving in Starfleet. For all some new crewmember knows, Uhura could be anything from an ensign to a lieutenant commander.
But, you say having listened to me drone on, women can choose to wear variations of the uniform!
Ahh! Not so fast!
You see, women in TOS could do that too.
As you will note, this is a uniform cut for a woman
that has pants.
The lack of piping indicates that this woman rocking pants is of a lower rank, and is probably an ensign or is enlisted. She still has a means of displaying rank.
Even TNG flipped this standard on its head, but showing men in the background wearing the skant version of the uniform in the 1980s.
But see those pips? That's his rank indicator.
You see, much like TOS and TNG, the Reboot has thus far relegated modified uniforms to a few select background extras. What's the problem with that?
It's 2013.
Only allowing a unnamed background characters to wear the variant uniform is not the same as seeing Lt. Uhura or Lt. Marcus occasionally wear it.
Additionally, the cultural context of the miniskirt has changed. While it was once seen as a symbol of liberation, it is now interpreted as one of objectification. That is not to say that the miniskirt is inherently one or the other, but that a very clear message is sent within our own cultural context today when the vast majority of the women seen onscreen are wearing it.
Within film, and also television, there is a saying, "Show, don't tell." Film is primarily a visual medium and secondarily an audio medium. The majority of the information in film is communicated to the audience visually. That means that seeing one or two extras wearing variant uniforms in shots that last perhaps a few seconds within the context of a feature-length film does not show us much. It has almost the same effect on the audience as a throw-away line of dialogue of Uhura saying, "I prefer the short-sleeved dress to the other options" would. That is to say, it has almost no effect at all, because that is not what the audience sees for the vast majority of the film.
Saying that women clearly have the option of wearing the variant uniform is like saying R2-D2 is a Star Trek character because he appeared as a bit of debris for a few seconds in both the Reboot films.
You see, even in the TOS Mirror-verse, women still show rank.
See that braid around the collar of Uhura's top?
That signifies her rank.
Even the corrupt Terran Empire, with its midriff-baring uniforms, still has a means by which women can display their rank. After all, the Terran Empire might be vicious and terrible, but it also has to function properly.
So when high-ranking women officers have no way of displaying rank on a starship that routinely faces danger, it causes problems in emergency situations, and annoyance in everyday life.
It makes no sense functionally within the world of the universe.
The world of the universe is a fictional one, however, so why does this all matter?
Well, real people made the decision to not include a way for the women officers to display their rank. It probably wasn't a decision made out of malice. The costume designer might've been too worried about the "large male fanbase" that "JJ wanted to appeal to". Perhaps it just didn't occur to Micheal Kaplan.
But then why didn't anyone notice it? Why wasn't it corrected before filming started?
In my opinion, the answer lies in how the women characters are treated by the script.
In short, the women aren't scripted as officers in the same way that their colleagues who are men are.
That's why something so small has taken on such a larger meaning. The lack of rank insignia has come to be a symbol for the problematic and sexist ways the Reboot has treated its fictional women. It so eloquently captures the attitude that many of the people in creative and executive positions have expressed toward the women characters, and fans who dare to voice such criticisms.

MONDAY, Oct. 15 (HealthDay News) -- The antiepileptic drug zonisamide, at a dosage of 400 mg per day, is associated with enhanced weight loss for obese patients when combined with diet and lifestyle counseling, but the incidence of adverse events is high, according to a study published online Oct. 15 in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Kishore M. Gadde, M.D., from the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., and colleagues examined the efficacy and tolerability of zonisamide for enhancing weight loss in obese patients. Two hundred twenty-five obese participants (134 women) without diabetes mellitus were randomized to receive one year of daily dosing with placebo (74 participants), 200 mg zonisamide (76 participants), or 400 mg zonisamide (75 participants), as well as diet and lifestyle counseling by a dietician.
Two hundred eighteen participants provided follow-up assessments at one year. The researchers found that the change in body weight was −4.0 kg for placebo, −4.4 kg for 200 mg of zonisamide, and −7.3 kg for 400 mg of zonisamide. A weight loss of 5 percent or greater was achieved by 31.1 percent assigned to placebo, 34.2 percent assigned to 200 mg of zonisamide (P = 0.72), and 54.7 percent (P = 0.007) of those assigned to 400 mg of zonisamide. The corresponding numbers were 8.1, 22.4 (P = 0.02), and 32.0 percent (P < 0.001) for 10 percent or greater weight loss. There was a higher incidence of gastrointestinal, nervous system, and psychiatric adverse events with zonisamide versus placebo.
"Zonisamide at the daily dose of 400 mg moderately enhanced weight loss achieved with diet and lifestyle counseling but had a high incidence of adverse events," the authors write. "Hence, for treatment of obesity, the drug's benefit-to-risk ratio needs thoughtful and cautious assessment."
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. One author has been awarded several patents (in the name of his institution) involving zonisamide.

Skinxwear Underwear: A guide to the best men's briefs.
Skinxwear is that Malaysian-based men's underwear brand that I've been posting about a couple of times. It's really not that famous, and the Skinxwear underwear collection for men isn't really that diverse and innovative.
Still, I get a lot of hits from guys searching for different Skinxwear styles, and actually there are about 4.400 searches on Google each month for Skinxwear, which leads me to conclude that even though the information about this men's underwear brand on the web is minimal, the interest is strong.
These last few weeks I've been doing more and more underwear guides. This is because I find that many guys out there simply have no clue what underwear to choose once they move out of their usual underwear comfort zone.
For many men, Skinxwear will be big step away from the world of generic, ordinary men's underwear. And that's good, guys! You should try on some totally different and unfamiliar underpants once in a while :)
Now, if you want to know a little more about Skinxwear underwear for men, I recommend that you go read my blog post introducing the Skinxwear collections followed by a quick view of the Skinxwear fashion show where you will a get more visual experience of the brand.
And finally, remember to check out my top three Skinxwear briefs and trunks – and where to buy them.
Most of the styles available in the three Skinxwear underwear collections (Intimo, Sportivo, and Innovazione) are of the erotic kind, but men looking for more casual styles will also find some useful pairs of underwear within these collections.
Guys Underwear Blog deals mostly with briefs and boxer briefs, and in this blog post I will therefore present three very different Skinxwear men's briefs to serve three very different purposes.
Skinxwear Sportivo Sport Mini Briefs – The everyday men's brief
I always advise guys to get themselves some nice-quality briefs in a cotton-based fabric. You've got to have a stack of these briefs to wear for work and other everyday purposes. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't care about the design and look of your everyday briefs, just be thoughtful about the quality and don't pay a premium as you will likely wear them out faster than other types of underwear.
Skinxwear obviously specializes in the more kinky styles (and I will get to those, don't worry) but they also carry a great cotton-based brief, the Sportivo Sport Mini Brief, which is made from 92% cotton an 8% lycra, which is a perfectly comfortable fabric blend. The Skinxwear Sportivo briefs have a high-cut leg opening which is key if you value freedom of movement while still having the proper support for your assets.
You can get them in either a red/white or black/gray color combination, and a twin-pack shouldn't set you back more than $18.
Skinxwear Innovazione Sport Bikini Briefs – The men's briefs for athletic activities and minimal coverage
Bikini briefs are often a nice compromise for men who want extreme comfort and freedom of movement when it comes to their underwear, but at the same time want their backside covered. This will rule out Y-back thongs and jockstraps, and thus the bikini brief is usually a good choice.
The need for supportive men's underwear that lets you move around without riding up or chafing is spawned by sports and athletic activities. If you're looking for underwear in which you can undertake strenuous athletic activities, you may prefer microfiber underwear, as it will help to rid you of the sweat that you build up.
The Skinxwear Innovazione Sport Bikini Briefs is made from 100 % microfiber, which means that they are very light-weight and perfect for sweaty activities. That said, you can also choose to wear them for you everyday purposes if you are into this bikini briefs cut.
The Skinxwear Innovazione Bikini brief is priced at around $10.
Skinxwear Intimo Micro Mesh Tanga Briefs
The final brief in the Skinxwear men's underwear guide is the Intimo Micro Mesh Tanga Brief. In this review, it's definitely the most rauchy, daring and revealing style – and the one that proves that Skinxwear is a source for erotic men's underwear.
Mesh fabric will cover everything but your front side only so you have to be aware that your backside will be quite visible in these briefs.
The Skinxwear Intimo Micro Mesh Tanga briefs will have you looking naughty and daring but also courageous and confident, and you will appreciate the special sensation it is to wear a 96% nylon / 4% spandex fabric blend. At times you will forget that you are even wearing underwear!
Wear this Skinxwear brief when going out to have fun, but make sure that the person you take home that night appreciates a funky pair of underwear. But then again, who wouldn't in their right mind :)
The Tanga mesh brief is just $22 for a twin-pack.
All the men's briefs reviewed above can be purchased at The Under Shop.

They also have really hot collections under the name "Ultimo" and "Sensi". Underwear from both these collections are made with 100% ultra soft, almost see through material. Hawt!GD Star Rating
i don't think so. Problem with this brand is that they didn't do enough promotion or online buzz and stuff, even their official page features nothing more than a few short descriptions of each collection/series, the same stuff printed on the tag that comes with the underwear. It has the potential to go far, but too bad they suck at promoting the brand into a global scale, which Private Structure (also a Malaysian brand) succeeds at.GD Star Rating
