My old college roommate had a blog post last week about being six months away from turning 30. It hit me that my milestone birthday is only four months away — a good reminder to check in with my 30 Before 30 List.
I was a bit relieved to find that 21 are officially done. Even better, the remaining are at least in progress. Not that it would be a huge deal or disappointment if I didn't fully cross those off the list (there might be one or two where I don't meet the full goal, like number of new states visited). Really this was just my way to not be so overwhelmed at the prospect of turning 30.
Although I have to admit I've still been feeling a bit uneasy about this next birthday. In some ways I don't feel like I'm where I'd like to be as I approach the big 3-0. I'm not married or even in a relationship, I don't own my own house or have kids on the horizon. But lately I've been trying to focus on the silver lining.
I'm not necessarily where I envisioned being at this stage, but I've made immeasurable progress in recent years and when I look around, life is pretty damn good. My career is heading in a fantastic direction, I love the activities and organizations I've been able to participate in this past year or so, and I'm (clearly) crazy about my furbaby.
And in the meantime, there's still lots more to accomplish and see in the world. Who knows — maybe I'll even end up creating a 35 Before 35 List. Then again, maybe not….

2. Learn to meditate In progress…attending a class on Nov. 5
3. Buy a bike DONE!
4. Get a full physical / health assessment DONE!
5. Log 2,000 miles DONE! Hit my final mile for it on 10/17/15

Lagoon 560
In the BVI's, the winds and weather are very predictable. What's not predictable are the inspirational and genuine people that step on the charter boats here week after week. You can't predict the things you are going to learn from 4 candid kids and their loving parents or from the successful business man who likes to do his laundry off the sugar scoop with JOY dish soap. We can't predict when we will see dolphins swimming off the bow going into the North Sound or Whales breaching while sailing the south shores of Virgin Gorda. These are the unpredictable events that contribute to the unforgettable memories the guests aboard Blue Moon take home with them. Join us next season and make some unpredictable yet memorable experiences of your own! Who knows what the day may bring in the sunny BVIs.
Any questions contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call one of our charter agents at (800) 262-0308.

The Latest Addition to Our Catamaran Charter Fleet!
The new Lagoon 39 catamaran is available for charter in the BVI.
The Catamaran Company is excited to announce that the New Lagoon 39 catamaran is the latest addition to our charter fleet and will be available November 2013!
This beautiful, luxurious catamaran was released in 2012 by the world's leading builder of cruising catamarans. She will be waiting for you in Tortola.
The Lagoon 39 brings the solutions of the new Lagoon catamaran generation to the entry level sailor. However Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prevost (VPLP) implemented their 28 years of design experience in racing and cruising to create a truly magnificent "Next Generation." Her filiation with the new Lagoon 52 is apparent on first sight with a pure, sleek and elegant design by VPLP: vertical, beveled bows, seemingly freely-suspended deckhouse, and a modern aft central rig with an abaft positioned mast for sailing performance and ease of handling ... a strong character indeed!
4 Cabins / 2 Head Layout
This new build catamaran offers an unprecedented layout. An efficient use of space obviously ranks among the top priorities when developing a 39ft cruising catamaran. In this regard, the Nauta Design office and Lagoon R & D choices combine inventiveness and elegance. They designed a bright salon with nav station and L shaped galley. The Lagoon 39 has four innovative interior layouts.
- Enhanced performance under sail
- Less pitching
- More downwind sails possibilities
- Easier maneuvering
- Less efforts
- Better visibility from the steering station
The signature vertical windows provide the best panoramic views for exploring the islands surrounding Tortola; they enhance UV protection, and increase headroom while optimizing living space.

When The Great Percy Press died in 1980 the new children's entertainer at the White Rock Theatre in Hastings was a guy called Almond Greenaway. Although not a Punch man he knew Percy's story and was inspired to write a song about him which has a refrain of "When it comes to Punch and Judy, Uncle Percy was the king" - a sentiment I would agree with.
Almond has sung this song all over the world and it is now released on a collection - but it can be bought and downloaded as a single if you wish.
It hasn't much to say but has got to be worth 79p pence.

1. There Are Good Guys, Bad Guys, And Me
I stand here, helpless, star struck, by the starlet at the masquerade. Spare me the dramatics
I get where I am and where I'm heading.
But you see I've realized my wrongs, I know I can't take them back.
But I'll spend eternity taking every chance I get.
I am doomed and gloom has it's harrowing arms wrapped around her.
Just listen to the words, in every love song...
They're all about us, every single word. Every single lie. All great romances start with you and I.
I am jealousy's advocate, and for that I have nothing.
I am the man who invented the excuse, woe, me.
Just listen to the words, in every love song...
They're all about us, every single word. Every single lie. All great romances start with you and I.
Can I say a word without you interrupting me? Or do I not have a choice?
To take your hand, is to let go of all else.
And I lack that commitment.
2. Nothing Is Fair In Love And War
The Romeo that you knew is dead. And It can't get worse than this.
I am a sorry excuse for a fucking hero. I am not, I am without, I am never was.
Oh, how you terrify!
With love bundled up in the backseat, and worthless confined.
In the trunk, somewhere worse is where I should've ended up.
I guess it's just my luck that I don't know how to love,
but only how to fuck things up, all these things up.
Sin is the new black, and it licks its eager lips.
It loves how innocence tastes, it can't get worse than this. This matinee is gonna be a killer!
I was living a lie, now I'm dying to know the truth were his lips as soft as mine.
Did he make it so you found it hard to breathe, did he sweep you off your feet?
And I believe something tells me the finale will be something to see.
Bring me back.
3. Honest To God
We are but sinners, swimming in the stomach of the shark.
But I'm making it out, and I'm making my way to his heart.
But a lot like the world, this beast is heartless. And a lot like the shark, I'm hungry for your kiss.
And I've been set in stone from the day I was born.
I'm but a thief, stealing the teeth of wolves while.
They sleep. I'm charismatic in the way I captivate!
I cannot believe I made it here, I deserve the worst
Come on, get your asses of the floor.
And prepare to witness something like you've never seen before.
It's enchanted, it's romantic, it's everything you've ever imagined.
Just for a second let's pretend that I give a damn.
I lost my dignity to a lousy girl. And I abandoned my compassion at sea!
Lord I can't deny my appetite... Come on.
I've been cast out of heaven, and I've been spit outta hell. I'm a walking desperado...
And I am empty as the 'o' in God.
4. Get Down With Your Bad Self
What is left of me sits burning in the bottom of this ashtray.
I'm an ugly mess, I'm full of it, and I'm a lame excuse for a poet.
It really all comes down to my love for misfortune.
A weak stomach and a mouthful of bad intentions. Watch your mouth!
Cause I'm the son of a gun, tempt not one in love.
I live my life by a night stand bible from a motel in limbo.
I have a way with failure and I'm the poster child for giving up on you.
And this lack of belief is what leaves me room for loving you.
Relax, come on - relax and give in I was born to make you moan.
You let her climb inside your ribs and let her tangle herself up in your bones.
Don't think for a second, that she gives a damn.
It's a shame you try so hard just for a girl. Who doesn't know your name or care to remember.
And it's a shame I can't remember anything.
I can't even recall your taste or the monster that I became.
I've tasted death, its graced my lips, I wanna give it back.
But I want you bad. I want you bad. You better watch your mouth, I'm the son of a gun.
5. San Dimas
My name is in lights above a rundown tavern. And it calls me.
It's where the women want and need, and bleed for you.
This is the kind of place where dreams come true.
And God is shaking hands with the devil.
They've got bids placed on my head! And it seems as though god is routing against me.
And the devil is my best friend.
And I swear I won't give in, to this feeble attempt.
To try and stop me from seeing you, from feeling you.
2, 3, 4...
There is something about the way you move it dull this shiv of a man I am and my love for you.
She was bad news, she smoked her cigarettes slow.
She killed rock and roll.
And I swear I won't give in to this feeble attempt to.
To try and stop me, from seeing you, from feeling you.
From feeling you, from feeling you
6. Like Wolves
I am young, and I'm in love. Post-apocalyptic?
But it's something I'm working on.
Equipped with a bible and a rifle, I should be fine, with this holiness on my side.
But what's the good in a god by your side, when the devil creeps around my neck like a snake?
We march, in the damnation parade. We're cast, Ill-starred in an operatic gun ballet. I apologize.
I have prior affairs I've arranged, I have a date with the gallows and I can't be late.
I don't care much for your advice, this drink here is rather convincing,
but your horns and tail tell me otherwise.
So I'm getting the hell out of here. The stench of deceit is far too much to bare.
And when we dance, oh how we'll dance before a conflux of crows.
Like wolves, I can't help but lick my lips at the thought of biting.
Into your skin, and tasting grace.
Oh god what I'd give to feel the slightest bit alive again. Temptation has a killer body.
That boys got the devil inside him. That boy's got it.
7. You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
This is a lot like sleeping with loaded shotguns, and a lot like kissing fingers crossed.
Did doing what you did make you feel important?
Or was it just another worthwhile reason to spread your legs.
I think I'm in love with you baby. Or at least I love to think so?
It's on nights like these that heads will roll, and we will feel. Feelings like we've never felt before.
Tonight will signify everything I've eradicated, I hope to leave you shaking.
So I'll face this apathetic crowd. I'm unarmed, but I'm ready to fire. Yeah!
I've loaded up on ambition, and I've got myself a good/pure soul.
Its simply just the sex that's killing me. You're killing me.
Can't you see it? Coward, I won't lie when I say. I've always found you weak.
I won't stop until your by my side. Counting down the seconds until our ribs collide.
8. Something I've Rehearsed
I'll be honest. My patience has come and gone. I messed up real bad this time.
So I'll apologize for my poor appearance, and ever awful pronunciation.
I'm shot, full of hope and I'm slightly intoxicated. Yet I'm searching for something more.
And I long for a little bit more.
It's the disappointment that's far too much to cope with when everything is a fabrication.
Our lives, our hopes, our dreams, our love was all exaggerated.
Yet I'm searching for something more. And how I've longed for so much more.
Here I am to admit defeat, I've never been one to beg pardon, but yet I'm on my knees
I've tried my best to smile, but its hard when you look up at the stars and ask the sky when they're coming back.
9. The Bronze Goddess
Brace yourselves, everyone! We've got a whore on our hands.
Fasten your seat belts. Grab your loved ones, do anything you can.
It's impressive how you've managed to destroy my world again.
But this time baby, I know how it ends.
And it's on love you that I'm hellbent.
I'll play the lover, you play the liar and we'll lie like lovers do.
How much longer must I remain convinced that I'd die without you.
Rest-assured last time I checked I had it all under control.
I may be drunk and my judgement may be fucked but I've been blessed with good looks.
God said true true love would save me, somehow.
I've got just one questions, where's my savior now? Follow to where your inner thighs desire.
I can't stop you...
10. Professional Cinderella
...And you may have a bulletproof smile, but you are easily penetrated where it counts.
If it's the sex that you love, I'll give you something to lust about.
Goddamn, it's happening again - I'm running out of time.
I've got a gaping hole in my chest but it's alright, it's alright.
Cause I'm a hopeless romantic by day and a sex machine by night.
So cock and load your vocal cords and scream like you've never screamed before.
You wreak havoc upon my world, but yet you're so worth waiting for.
If I'm the kind of clichés, then you're the God of catastrophe.
We are ever lasting, we are what love is made of, nothing can stop us now.
I am lovesick with the machine gun blues.
Goddamn I cannot shake it out. I am lovesick with the machine gun blues.
And I can't shake it out, shake it out.
11. To The Moon And Back, Babe
Pretty you are, enough to be in magazines,
But I know and you know, you're worth more than that to me.
But my desire to kiss you completely diminished.
Due to the fact that your lips on my lips just might as well be your foot on my throat
Holding back the hidden "I love you"'s in all the songs that I've ever wrote.
Until the day... That his swells have come to suck you in and steal you away from me yet again.
To drown everything important to assure you forgot about me.
To remain embraced by something stronger than me, warmer than me, better than me.
More suitable to best accommodate your needs.
And the moment he touches your face, caresses your body, just to feel
I will break at the knees,
And I will combust.
I will..... I will....
And his swells have come to suck you in and steal you away from me yet again.
To drown everything important to assure you forget about me.
So it won't hurt so bad to see you love again.
So it won't hurt so bad to see you love again.
So it won't hurt so bad to see you love again.
So it won't hurt so bad to watch as you... forget about me.

The last Smash Bros. game, like the one before that, was a smorgasboard of characters. There weren't just Nintendo developed characters, but the likes of Sonic and Snake also made an appearance.
No More Heroes designer Goichi Suda is already making off-handed remarks about his desire to see NMH hero Travis Touchdown in the next Smash Bros.. Says Suda:
I love him (Travis), and I want him to be a huge star. That's why I'm working very hard to make this game as interesting as possible. Maybe in the future, we can see him fighting alongside Link in the next Smash Bros. [laughs]That would be great.
Yes, yes it would.

BOSTON -- A 38-year-old Billerica man faces five to 40 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to both possession and distribution of child pornography in a case that involved him sending pornographic images and videos to undercover federal agents.
Brian Ashley, of Billerica, was arrested by federal agents last year after he used Kik messenger to send several images and videos depicting child pornography, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's office.
He has been in custody ever since.
The investigation that led to Ashley's arrest began in February of last year, when federal agents in Montana served a search warrant at the home of a man in Montana who had been sending and receiving child pornography, according to a press release.
That Montana man agreed to let federal agents assume his online identities to further their investigation, and that man's Kik account was among those he allowed agents to use, according to a press release.
A federal agent then messaged people on the Montana man's contacts list saying he lost all of his pornographic files and wanted to replace them, according to a press release.
Ashley, using the name "orcusvox" responded on Feb. 23, 2016, and sent federal agents several images containing child pornography, according to a press release. On March 1, 2016, Ashley used the same account to send agents three video files that also contained child pornography, according to a press release.
Agents obtained information linking Ashley to the "orcusvox" account, and determined the account had been accessed from both his home and Mitre Corp. in Bedford, where he was employed as a security guard, on the dates that the files were sent, according to a press release.
When agents got a search warrant for Ashley's Billerica home, they seized his cellphone and conducted a forensic review of the phone that revealed child pornography exchanges with other Kik users, along with 246 images and 77 videos containing child pornography, according to a press release.
Ashley faces a mandatory minimum of five years in federal prison, and a maximum of 20 years for the distribution of child pornography charge. He faces up to 20 years in prison for the possession of child pornography charge.
He also faces at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release once he's out of prison, as well as up to $500,000 in fines.
U.S. District Court Judge George O'Toole scheduled Ashley's sentencing for June 19.
The case was investigated as part of the Project Safe Childhood program, which has sought to protect children from exploitation and abuse since it's inception in 2006.

Blue Night Qualities: Abyss, serenity, "looks-within" place, enclosing darkness, stillness, dreamfield matrix, the unconcious, abundance, mystery, sanctuary, journey into self, dream exploration, intuition.
"Enter into the potency of the Dreamtime matrix, where all things are possible. Learn to utilize this Dreamtime, where there is no distinction between then and now, real or imagined, dream or dreamer. All that you are, all that you believe, hope, and dream creates your personal dreamfield. In that field, there are no victims that will create completion and wholeness for you. Become lucid in life."
"In becoming a conscious dreamer, you can assist in literally creating a new reality for yourself, as well as contributing to the larger dream that is emerging. By focusing on this creation, your thoughts and intentions are projected at superluminal speeds across the crystal grid network that encompasses universes. This energetic field seeds, supports, and empowers the creation of an unfolding reality. Make no mistake: great change is seeded by conscious dreamers who understand and know that they are co-creating the larger dream."
"Pay special attention to your dreams. Potent treasures await you in Dreamtime, where the mystery of enclosing darkness reveals its face."
Tracey: we've got a Theme going here! Blue Night was the energy for ALL of 2010 and now we find lovely Venus in Leo as the singleton in the 5th house of Creativity! The energy is there folks, with intense and creative intention you will be tapping into it, big time! Really flesh our your dream-vision-intentions...write them, draw them, dance, them, smell them, cut out magazine pictures that help focus....just spend some time on this - that's all that is required!
Niina: I will get back to this later today.
I was wondering why it was so hard to remember dreams now that I am trying(past few days). Where it use to be easy, it's now almost irrelevant. I spent a good while thinking about this until it hit me that it is the way it is because it is meant to be. Why is it meant to be? Well-- to put it simply, there is no seperation.
There is no seperation.What is there, that is more profound than that? After reading A Course In Miracles I have been complitely different, this is just one of those things that will be discarded, the daily dreaming and it's importance... why? Because I manifest those qualities, see those connections when I am awake. For me dreams are now for the body, for the brain - so that the balance is kept within my body and it all works as it should.
But I no longer have to deal with things in a subconscious level, because I am cabable of dealing with them in the Now.

|I'd like one more drinky poo
Liberty is my drug of choice and if a swig of Donald will damp down the suppressive chorus for prescribed opinion and bicycle helmets on everything, I'm for a weekend bender.
He's an ice breaker. An ice breaker gets the party rolling by starting the conversation. An ice breaker cuts paths through frozen seas. Trump fits both roles.
I don't like him and may have a hangover. Here's to Donald!

Strasbourg, France, 19–22 June 2017. Europe's leading event for intelligent transport specialists.
1. Mobility services – from transport to mobility
For many years transport has been provided to a binary model – either as a public utility or by personally owned vehicles. With today's permanent connectivity, increasing automation, big data and Internet of Things are we ready to adopt a new paradigm of mobility of people and goods? What can mobility as a service (MaaS) offer, for users and for providers? The new mobility may depend less on ownership and more on shared use of vehicles, but many services remain separate with little integration. Who will integrate and coordinate transport services to users, how will they be organised? Can MaaS help break down geographical, social and organisational borders? This topic will look at changes that are underway, review barriers to faster or further progress and outline a framework for widespread deployment of MaaS.
a. the changing role of public transport
b. creating, sharing and exploiting mobility information
c. information integration and platforms
d. innovative transport services
e. business models – who pays what?
f. smart ticketing and payment
g. overcoming barriers and borders
2. Next generation goods delivery
Population and economic growth are putting increased pressure on networks, with demands not just for more people movement but also for the carriage of goods inward and outwards. How to ease the coexistence of people and goods in the urban, interurban and cross border environment? Can we change the current equilibrium and overcome its constraints? Will a growth in electromobility and autonomous vehicles significantly change freight delivery? What needs to change and who needs to do what?
a. optimising use and management of infrastructure
b. linking urban freight & logistics with long-distance networks
c. management of traffic, parking & goods loading/unloading
d. access control, road use charging, freight vehicle priority
e. the port of the future & goods multimodality
f. data requirements and business models for smart urban freight
g. towards the "Internet of Freight"
3. Transport networks evolution
Transport infrastructures are slow to evolve as demand changes and traffic network management is difficult because the demand is not easily predicted and reliable information on travellers' origins and destinations is rare. Traffic and transport network is adding the virtual to the real, the digital to the physical. How can we take advantage of new and open data sources, the deployment of connected vehicles, the availability of the Internet of Things and Open Data? Will future network management strategies be able to bring closer integration of all modes of transport within and between urban, inter-urban and crossing border networks? What kinds of solutions can help overcome the organisational, commercial and social boundaries between transport networks and modes?
a. active network operation
b. organisational and business models
c. incident management and prevention
d. coordination of transport modes, interfaces, interchanges & intermodal integration
e. priority for emergency vehicles, public and freight transport
f. traffic management 2.0 – towards fully digital and cooperative
g. cross border issues and solutions
4. Connected and automated transport
Developments in technology are supporting the introduction of higher levels of automation that promise to transform transport systems everywhere with impacts on vehicles, infrastructure, mobility needs management and services for users. Major steps towards implementation are happening now with pilot projects, individual testing, and the setting up of Living Labs in many places. In the longer term we look for substantial benefits for safety, traffic flow, emissions, fuel use and comfort. Nevertheless, many questions remain along the path towards highly automated vehicles. Towards which Business models for deployment are we going; public, private or mixed initiative? How can we ensure continuity and interoperability of the infrastructure needed to support automated transport?
Contributions are welcome that explore the challenges and present potential solutions.
a. digital infrastructure
b. technology aspects including mapping, positioning and cyber security
c. institutional, legal and governance frameworks; liability; privacy
d. evaluation and validation frameworks; FOTs; certification and reliability
e. applications (e.g. fully automated vehicles, platooning, automated parking; automation for public transport, etc.)
f. behavioural aspects and human factors; user acceptance
g. business models for deployment
h. interoperability; cross border issues and solutions
5. Satellite technology applied to mobility
Today's travellers expect connected services to be available everywhere, 24/7within a country but also whenever they cross borders. Satellite technologies for communications, in conjunction with terrestrial communication technologies (e.g. LTE, ITS G5) can deliver seamless and affordable connectivity for both infrastructure and vehicles. GNSS combined with sensor based systems brings robustness, reliability and scalability to the positioning and navigation elements of autonomous vehicles. Environmental and infrastructure monitoring has never been easier when powered from space. This topic will review satellite technologies available now or in the near future and ask "how should we promote the usability, affordability and availability of space-based contributions to key ITS challenges?" Is real-time traffic monitoring by satellite science-fiction or a real possibility?
a. vehicle–infrastructure connectivity using cellular and satellite communications
b. integration of terrestrial and satellite communications (urban, interurban, rural,…)
c. mapping and sensing from space
d. state-of-the-art, robust and affordable positioning systems
e. earth observation satellites including satellite-based environment and air quality monitoring
6. ITS and the environment
Citizens want a clean, safe and sustainable environment, but they also want jobs and a thriving economy for their city. Can the conflicting mobility needs for people's quality of life & for the economy be reconciled, and how can ITS help? Contributions on this topic will explore how ITS can be used to minimise the environmental impact of transport, and how innovative transport solutions and traffic management can improve the mobility of people and goods without imposing on people's needs for a higher quality of life. Contributions are especially welcome presenting successful cases where ITS systems and services have supported environmental transport goals.
a. caring about CO2 – increasing sustainability awareness & changing behaviour of people & businesses
b. effective mobility policies, measures & solutions low car-use scenarios
c. sustainable urban mobility targets, business roles, solutions
d. solutions for managing/preserving air quality in urban areas
e. evaluation methods and tools for sustainability issues
7. Freestyle – Your new idea
Your contribution doesn't fit easily with any of the above Topics? Then Freestyle is the topic for your unconventional concepts and bright new ideas. We know transport and mobility are changing radically, and want to make space for new visions for ITS, and to host the most innovative ITS Congress yet. You can submit a provocative paper or a special interest session with enhanced interaction between speakers and the audience. Submissions will be judged on their "wow!" factor, their feasibility and impact, and the evidence of commitment by organiser and speakers.

HomeAway.co.uk, the home of Holiday-Rentals®, is part of the HomeAway family. As the world leader in holiday rentals, we offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We're committed to helping families and friends find the perfect holiday rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.
We enjoyed the stay very much. The house has a very special character, it felt like living in an old castle. Would love to come again.
The accommodation is of exceptional quality with every convenience provided. It is within the grounds of the owners property but totally separated with it's own garden area, patio and hot tub. The owners gave us an extremely warm welcome and provided some truly wonderful local delicacies to start our holiday. If we needed any help we knew we could ask. The setting is in a small quiet hamlet with many traditional market towns nearby. The weather during our visit at the end of October was still pleasantly warm and sunny with temperatures around 26C. This was a perfect base to visit Pont du Gard and Pont d'Arc among many other treasures in the area. We particularly enjoyed Anduze and would highly recommend La Table de Saisons as one of the best restaurants we have visited (don't forget to book!).
This property provided us with a totally relaxing vacation. Late breakfast on the patio before venturing out for the day with spectacular scenery. Everyone that we came into contact with during our stay happily talked with us, with a bit of French and some English we had some great conversations!
We would particularly like to thank the owners for making our stay so memorable.
Nick and Rebecca

I always knew Lupa would get back to reviewing another shitty family film that involes a dog.
Poot James Doohan, having to play Scotty in Star Trek, and then resorting himself into starring in D-grade garbage like this. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I also don't blame him for walking away from the food fight at the end.
10:01- Yeah, that's what bad movies do to you: they make you wisg you were watching BETTER movies like Citizen Kane.
12:32- With these weird names, I'm now being reminded of the Lord and Lady Douchebag sketch on Saturday Night Live.
The plot of an animal or pet becoming a duke, or king, or CEO has been done before in movies like Gordy.
21:05- OKAY, I'm just gonna assume that this movie was gonna be about a human who becomes the duke, but the asshole director of Big and Harry desided to make it about a dog. Asshole.
25:18- I just realized. This movie takes place in July, and the dog is marking down the 18th, which is MY birthday. Weird coincidence.
27:05- Don't forget about a dog rape scene, because that's another one of the memorable moments of Man's Best Friend.

Probably my favorite Movie Nights so far, besides the Mary-Kate and Ashley Triple Feature. Keep going!
(By the way, I think Cinema Bread might have thought that Hubert was 21 in human years, not in dog years. Still, they could probably find a way to make sure that Hubert would meet the old Duke soon enough.)

They're on MY square. My hometown. The exact place I got engaged, at a festival I wanted to attend but I wasn't in town.
Yes, I could stop stalking them.
And I do! For days at a time. And then I wake up and torture myself.
BUT guys.
I'm not so nauseated today. I honestly think he and I are moving on at the same time, same pace. And that's a good, good thing (the timing, I mean). We had such a good conversation about everything not too long ago. I didn't think there was anything left to talk about, but there was, and it helped. I guess.
Because I met someone. Someone normal, normal looking, age-appropriate, kind of wonderful and kind of an asshole (a good balance I promise), who does nice things and it doesn't make me cringe, and to whom I am attracted.
It's been two years and that has NEVER happened. People are nice to me and I run away. I like their minds but can't stand the thought of anything physical. I want them physically but there's nothing else there.
So maybe I've finally found my rebound?
The part that sucks is that he's moving on with someone nearby, on my square, and I'm moving on with someone….who lives on the other side of the world. Three months from now he'll leave this place, likely never to return. Fingers crossed it's a rebound and not real feelings, please and thank you.
Oh my heart. Just get it together, already.

How to Manage Up: 3 Tips that Will Make You Happier at Work Place
I have been reporting to foreign managers and working with international colleagues since I graduated from college. Here are some tips that I would like to share with you:
- Candor triumphs; Solution Wins
I remember seeing this poster on the metro in the United States: if you see something, say something. It is funny how it applies in the work place too.
If you see that something can be improved, bring it up with a solution.
For example, there was an incident yesterday where my client almost didn't get their training materials on time. It was ambiguous on whose fault it was. I have heard similar incidents that have happened on other colleagues. So, I initiated an internal meeting between the admin, HR, and all the other account managers to improve the material delivery process.
If you have experienced a difficulty, find a solution. When my company computer broke and the data in the hard drive got wiped, I initiated an one hour long meeting with the internal IT staff member to come up with a preventative data backup plan for all the other account managers to prevent future loses. Did he eventually implement the plan? I have no idea. But I did my dual-diligence to try to make a difference.
If you think that something important is not being managed, find the relevant personnel and seek to understand their expertise.
- Give Feedback on the Feedback that You Get
I have a great Operations Director who is very good at giving me candid and practical feedback. When I make a mistake, he coaches me by asking questions that lead me to the correct answer. I appreciate his intention, and I really prefer a more direct communication instead of being asked multiple leading questions.
So, I messaged him: "thank you for helping me improve. I would appreciate it even more if you would be straight-forward with me when something needs to be fixed."
Guess what! He is so great that he did get very direct with me, which is that communication style that I appreciate.
I am very lucky to be working with many great colleagues and bosses who are mindful about their communication styles. If you would like to see a behavior change from anyone, ask for it nicely. You have nothing to lose.
- Manage Expectations and Deadlines
When somebody needs something from you, think before you act.
For example, one of my lovely colleagues was asking for my help on creating a pre-training survey link. I could have jumped on it and helped her right away, but I had another meeting to prepare for. I told her that I would be available at 3:00pm if she still needed help by then. When she called me at 2:45pm, I told her that I would give her a call back in 15 minutes. Guess what! I had time to prepare my answers for her and was able to help her at 3:00pm. Both of us were very happy.
When your boss tells you to do something, don't just do it right away. Ask when does your boss need it by because you have your other priorities to do.
When you need something from others, ask for and/ or give a deadline. Frustration occurs when you ask for somehting "as soon as possible". Your urgency might not translate well.
Those are the 3 tips that I have come up with. If you need further coaching on communication skills, leadership skills, and such, feel free to send 2BHappy a message. I will be more than happy to help. Subscribe to 2BHappy for happiness related articles and workshops. (1755)

Luke tells us, quoting Exodus 13:2,12, that Mary and Joseph took Jesus to Jerusalem because every firstborn child was to be dedicated to the Lord. They also went to sacrifice a pair of doves or two young pigeons, showing that Mary and Joseph were poor.
Once in the temple, Jesus was purified by the prayer of Simeon, in the presence of Anna the prophetess. Simeon, upon seeing the Messiah, gave thanks to the Lord, singing a hymn now called the Nunc Dimittis:
Lord, now you let your servant go in peace,
your word has been fulfilled:
My own eyes have seen the salvation,
which you have prepared in the sight of every people:
a light to reveal you to the nations
and the glory of your people Israel.
Simeon told Mary, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against, (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed." Simeon thus foreshadowed the crucifixion and the sorrows of Mary at seeing the death of her Son.
The name Candlemas comes from the activities associated with the feast. It came to be known as the Candle Mass. In the Western Church, a procession with lighted candles is the distinctive rite. According to post Vatican-II discipline, (if possible) the beeswax candles are to be blessed somewhere other than where the Mass is held. Often your local parish will hand out candles, or you may bring your own, to be blessed before the procession. These may be saved for later use in your home. After an antiphon, during which the candles held by the people are lighted, there is a procession into the church. During the procession to the church, the Nunc Dimittis is sung, with the antiphon "Lumen ad revelationem" (Luke 2:32). This procession into the church for Mass commemorates Christ's entrance into the temple.
Since Vatican II, the feast is reckoned a feast of the Lord (as opposed to a feast of Mary), and officially designated "The Presentation of the Lord."
The reading from Malachi tells us that God will send his messenger to prepare the way and that, suddenly, the Lord himself will appear. This reminds us of John the Baptist's preaching. St Paul, in the second reading from the letter to the Hebrews, tells us that Christ had to become human in order to fully represent us before God the Father. In our gospel passage from St Luke, we see Mary and Joseph going to the Temple with the infant Jesus to be purified. There, they meet Simeon and also Anna who both speak of the child as being salvation for all the nations. Simeon praises God and says that he can now rest in peace for he has seen the Savior. Though he was the Son of God and himself God, Jesus was still brought up in the faith and with respect to the Law of Moses. (Reflection on readings from Irish Carmelites)
History of the feast
Egeria, writing around AD 380, attests to a feast of the Presentation in the Jerusalem Church. It was kept on February 14th. The day was kept by a procession to the Constantinian basilica of the Resurrection, with a homily on Luke 2:22-39. However, the feast had no proper name at this point; it was simply called the 40th day after Epiphany. This shows that the Jerusalem church celebrated Jesus' birth on the Epiphany Feast (as is common in some Eastern Churches today). In regions where Christ's birth was celebrated on December 25th, the feast began to be celebrated on February 2nd, where it is kept in the West today. In 542, the Emperor Justinian introduced the feast to the entire Eastern Roman empire in thanksgiving for the end to a great pestilence afflicting the city of Constantinople. Perhaps this is when Pope Gregory I brought the feast to Rome. Either way, by the 7th century, it is contained in the Gelasianum Sacramentary. Pope Sergius (687-701) introduced the procession to the Candlemas service. The blessing of candles did not come into common use until the 11th century. While some scholars have asserted that the Candlemas feast was developed in the Middle Ages to counteract the pagan feasts of Imbolc and Lupercalia, many scholars reject this, based on Medieval documents. While the feast does coincide with these two pagan holidays, the origins of the feast are based in Scriptural chronology. Some superstitions developed about Candlemas, including the belief that if one does not take down Christmas decorations by Candlemas, traces of the holly and berries will bring about the death of the person involved. In past times, Candlemas was seen as the end of the Christmas season.
Candlemas Day was also the day when some cultures predicted weather patterns. Farmers believed that the remainder of winter would be the opposite of whatever the weather was like on Candlemas Day. An old English song goes:
If Candlemas be fair and bright,
Come winter, have another flight;
If Candlemas bring clouds and rain,
Go winter, and come not again.
Thus if the sun cast a shadow on Candlemas day, more winter was on the way; if there was no shadow, winter was thought to be ending soon. This practice led to the folklore behind "Groundhog's Day," which falls on Candlemas Day.
Today, the feast is still celebrated on February 14th in some Eastern Churches, including the Armenian Church, where the feast is called, "The Coming of the Son of God into the Temple." Most churches celebrate it on February 2nd.
And finally a Reading From a sermon by Saint Sophronius, bishop which is the suggested second reading from the Office of Readings for the feast:
Let us receive the light whose brilliance is eternal
In honour of the divine mystery that we celebrate today, let us all hasten to meet Christ. Everyone should be eager to join the procession and to carry a light.
Our lighted candles are a sign of the divine splendour of the one who comes to expel the dark shadows of evil and to make the whole universe radiant with the brilliance of his eternal light. Our candles also show how bright our souls should be when we go to meet Christ.
The Mother of God, the most pure Virgin, carried the true light in her arms and brought him to those who lay in darkness. We too should carry a light for all to see and reflect the radiance of the true light as we hasten to meet him.
The light has come and has shone upon a world enveloped in shadows; the Dayspring from on high has visited us and given light to those who lived in darkness. This, then, is our feast, and we join in procession with lighted candles to reveal the light that has shone upon us and the glory that is yet to come to us through him. So let us hasten all together to meet our God.
The true light has come, the light that enlightens every man who is born into this world. Let all of us, my brethren, be enlightened and made radiant by this light. Let all of us share in its splendour, and be so filled with it that no one remains in the darkness. Let us be shining ourselves as we go together to meet and to receive with the aged Simeon the light whose brilliance is eternal. Rejoicing with Simeon, let us sing a hymn of thanksgiving to God, the Father of the light, who sent the true light to dispel the darkness and to give us all a share in his splendour.
Through Simeon's eyes we too have seen the salvation of God which he prepared for all the nations and revealed as the glory of the new Israel, which is ourselves. As Simeon was released from the bonds of this life when he had seen Christ, so we too were at once freed from our old state of sinfulness.
By faith we too embraced Christ, the salvation of God the Father, as he came to us from Bethlehem. Gentiles before, we have now become the people of God. Our eyes have seen God incarnate, and because we have seen him present among us and have mentally received him into our arms, we are called the new Israel. Never shall we forget this presence; every year we keep a feast in his honour.
The blessings of candles, symbolic of Christ the Light to all peoples, is observed on this feast is a poignant reminder that the great feast of the Incarnation of our Lord and Savior means something as it fails to reduce God-becoming man to sentiment or ethics. Taken by the faithful to their homes, the blessed candles are a reminder that Jesus Christ is indeed "Light from Light, True God from True God." The Presentation of the Lord in the Temple emphasizes in yet a more radical way the manifestation of the Christ child at Epiphany celebrated a few weeks ago. This feast, like the Christmas-Epiphany cycle, proclaims Jesus as Lumen gentium (the Light of the world). He is the true foundation of our lives. At the singing of the Canticle of Simeon (see above) the Church puts on our lips the words of Scripture instructing us that Jesus is "The light for the revelation of the Gentiles: and for the glory of Thy people Israel."
In a nutshell, the Church says of the observance of the feast of the Presentation:
"The feast of February 2 still retains a popular character. It is necessary, however, that such should reflect the true Christian significance of the feast. It would not be proper for popular piety in its celebration of this feast to overlook its Christological significance and concentrate exclusively on its Marian aspects. The fact that this feast should be "considered [...] a joint memorial of Son and Mother" would not support such an inversion. The candles kept by the faithful in their homes should be seen as a sign of Christ "the light of the world" and an expression of faith. (Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, 123)

Dennis Barlow, who has been Burbank's city attorney for 14 years, announced plans this week to step down in September. Before his arrival in Burbank, he worked as senior assistant city attorney in San Bernardino and in the county counsel's office in Yuba and Kern counties. Barlow says he only recently decided to step down, despite wishing he could stay to tie up loose ends.
GRETCHEN MEIER: What brought you to Burbank initially?
DENNIS BARLOW: Well, it was a good career opportunity, obviously. I grew up in Glendale, and it was nice to come back to where I grew up. You always look to move up professionally in your career, and as a senior assistant this was the next logical step.
Q: What has kept you here, then, for 14 years?
A: I like Burbank a lot. It's a great city to live and work in. I've really enjoyed the people, the community and the city councils I've worked with.

ONTARIO – It wasn't supposed to be easy for the Ontario Reign to defeat the high-scoring Allen Americans. If anyone thought it might be easy, they now know better.
Allen, which had scored only one goal in the preceding three games, notched five third-period goals to earn a 6-2 victory over Ontario on Sunday night at Citizens Business Bank Arena. Allen led the ECHL in team scoring during the regular season.
The victory means Allen will play Game 6 and, if necessary, Game 7 on their home ice. The Reign lead the series by a 3-2 margin, and needs a win in the next two games to advance to the Kelly Cup championship round. The teams each had one victory in the prior Texas games.
"We just have to get back in the saddle and put this game behind us," Reign coach Jason Christie said. "We gave them too much space. That's why it is a seven-game series. We just have to put this on the back burner and keep battling hard."
Ontario took a 2-1 lead at 14:30 of the second period when Judd Blackwater, operating from behind the net, found Rocco Carzo alone on Allen goaltender Riley Gill's stick side and the Philadelphia native put it in the net.
"We had them on their heels, and we game them too many goals," Carzo said.
The game turned when Allen scored two goals within 49 seconds midway through the third period, coming back from a one-goal deficit to take a 3-2 advantage.
"In last night's game, they made good plays and we didn't," Allen coach Steve Martinson said about Saturday night's 5-0 Reign victory. "I thought we played well in Game2, but their goaltender (Joe Cannata) kept making saves."
Chad Costello tied the score at 8:26 of the third period when he took a pass from defenseman Justin Costello and shot the puck at the net. Christie and Reign center Gaspar Kopitar said the puck hit a skate and went into the net.
While the tying goal was a question of a bad bounce, the third goal was clearly a mistake. Allen's Garry Steffes went down the left side and beat Cannata.
"That is a turnover we just can't have," Christie said while referring to Allen's go-ahead goal. "They (Allen) play well in their home rink."
Steffes' goal gave Allen a 3-2 lead, and they poured in three more goals in the final five minutes, including an empty-net goal, to survive and play on Tuesday.
Kopitar, the younger brother of Los Angeles Kings player Anze Kopitar, took a positive outlook on the remainder of the series. He said the team was a little too aggressive and the Texas visitors capitalized.
"We're going to a building where we have won before," Kopitar said. "We had two bad shifts and they scored twice."
If Reign fans are looking for a hopeful omen, it should be noted that Ontario wrapped up both previous 2015 Kelly Cup playoff matchups on the road.
"We won Game5 in Utah and Game7 in Colorado," Kopitar said. "That showed our team's character."

text: This one really has me stumped, and I've tried everything I can think of and I'm still not able to get any photos from my Mac Pro w/Snow Leopard onto my iPod touch. Here's the situation: - I have photos in iPhoto '09. I have events created, and albums etc. - I connect my iPod Touch and launch iTunes. - In iTunes I click the Photos tab on the iPod touch section and check the box 'Sync Photos from iPhoto', then check the box 'Sync selected...'. - My events and albums are displayed below this. - But here's the problem, when I tick the box of the event or album I want to sync, the number 0 is displayed to the right, presumably implying that there are zero photos in this event/album, even though there quite clearly are photos in these events/albums when I go into iPhoto or seek them out in Finder. - When I click Sync, no photos are transferred to the iPod. - I've also tried manually creating a folder with photos in it in the Finder, then pointing iTunes to sync from this folder, but still the number 0 is displayed to indicate there are no photos in the folder. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

A letter of testamentary is a legal document, sometimes written before someone's death or issued by a probate court, that gives an executor permission to distribute a deceased person's assets as proscribed in a will. A letter of testamentary, in general, allows the executor to conduct real estate sales, banking transactions and asset distribution per the permission of the court.
Some court systems denote a letter of testamentary as a "letter of administration" or "letter of representation." This legal document serves as proof to banks, individuals and real estate brokers that a particular person or group is allowed to act as an executor of a will. A letter of testamentary along with a death certificate means an executor can act on behalf of a deceased person's estate.
Courts may issue a letter of testamentary as an actual letter or as a certificate. The letter of testamentary needs to be certified and sealed by a court to be official.
Sometimes companies and organizations keep the letter of testamentary on file for their own records. An executor may obtain several certified copies to distribute to appropriate entities. Upon someone's death, an executor may need go before a probate judge to obtain a letter of testamentary by producing a certified copy of a will along with a death certificate.

We would always strongly recommend carrying out property searches before a purchase, although it is not compulsory to do so. Any respectable property solicitor or conveyancer would also support this claim, not to mention the risk and compliance regulations that they are bound by to guarantee homebuyers are fully aware of any risks to the property they are purchasing to ensure they are informed and still happy to go ahead with the transaction. Homebuyers may also need to check the terms of their mortgage to determine if certain property searches are compulsory. Request a Quote Share Us Subscribe to our newsletter Submit

This volume revisits, problematizes, and expands the meaning of quality in the context of adult basic education. Covering a wide range of relevant topics, it includes contributors from the realms of both policy and practice and encompasses both the major instructional areas-reading, writing, and mathematics-as well as larger issues of literacy, learning, and adulthood. Each chapter focuses on what improving quality in the field might look like through the particular lens of the author's work. As a whole, the broad scope of topics and ideas addressed will raise the level of discussion, knowledge, and practice regarding quality in adult basic education.
In this book, the term adult basic education refers to the broad range of services for adults who wish to improve their literacy and language skills, including beginning and intermediate writing, writing and numeracy, preGED, GED/Adult Secondary Education, and ESL instruction that takes place in a range of contexts including schools, community-based programs, and workplace development programs. The volume is organized around three themes:
*Accountability, Standards, and the Use of Documentation and Research;
*Program Structures and Instruction; and
*Rethinking Our Assumptions and Concepts.
Coming at a time of increasing pressure to standardize, to be accountable, and to improve outcomes, and when calls for evidence-based practice are fueling stakeholders' interest in the relationship between research and practice at all levels of the system, Toward Defining and Improving Quality in Adult Basic Education is particularly timely for scholars, graduate students, and professionals in the field of adult basic education.

Two weeks in the making, this is the bread I mentioned in my post about the blueberry fougasse that is made on a starter of fermented apples. It was the first time I had ever fermented anything (on purpose) and I was excited about that (though the actual process mostly involves a lot of waiting) and I like the idea of starting bread on fermented fruit. I'd never heard of that, and it is definitely an idea that merits more attention and experimentation. Just think of everything that's been fermented to wonderful effect, and how many breads that could mean!
The bread also has a very nice texture and flavor. It uses a ratio of 1 part rye flour to 3 parts white flour, which gives the bread a more rustic taste that goes better with the apples than an all white flour bread would.
Making it was fairly straightforward, with only a few problems, all of which I was able to correct. They just seemed worse than usual because it would take more than a week to start over, if I ruined it. There was also very little explanation in the recipe of what the apples and dough should look or smell like at various stages. I also ended up adding some sourdough starter at the second refresh because I was worried it hadn't risen enough. This probably changes the flavor of the bread, but I had been stupid earlier and had to correct it. See, the recipe calls for organic, unbleached flour to be added to the fermented apple paste to make the starter. I was out of flour and all I had was bleached all-purpose thanks to someone's picking up the wrong thing at the grocery store. Bleached APF is very bad for sourdough, to say the least.
But everything worked out anyway, without more problems until I was baking. The recipe makes four (one pound?) loaves, which I shaped into one large and two small bâtards. I thought the sheets I'd put them on would fit on a rack in the oven side-by-side, but they didn't and I had to overlap them a bit. This probably did very bad things to the airflow and the bread burnt on top. It only cooked about half as long as the recipe said, but it was cooked through and delicious, if one overlooked the slightly blackened parts on the bottom and top. Pictured is the larger loaf that didn't burn much and one of the smaller ones ripped open to show the apples inside.
Pain Aux Pommes
Paraphrased from The Village Baker by Joe Ortiz
(This book is full of interesting recipes, but a photo of this one caught my eye and I was fascinated by the idea.)
The Levain de pomme
1 medium-sized apple peeled and cut into pieces (I think I used a Cortland or Fuji.)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons water
Combine the ingredients and let them sit in a warm place for 8-10 days. When the mixture has become highly alcoholic and carbonic gas starts to develop, it is ready to use. (I kept mine in a Tupperware. After about three days, the lid would frequently swell up from CO2, so I'd let it out. It smelled very alcoholic after about 5 days, but I left it for 8.)
If any mold or fungus has developed on the apple mixture, carefully remove it. This should leave at least three-quarters of the mixture (1/2 cup). (I had no problems with this. One apple chunk turned slightly brown and I took it out, but the rest were fine.)
The first refreshment
1 teaspoon malt extract or 2 teaspoons honey (I used honey.)
1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup apple starter from the previous step
2 cups organic, unbleached white flour (Seriously! Accept no substitutes)
For the first refreshment: Dissolve the malt extract or honey in the water. Mash the pieces of apple to a paste (I tossed everything in a food processor to do this, since a fork wasn't working.) and add the paste to the honey mixture. Add flour gradually while mixing with a wooden spoon. When the dough comes together, empty it onto the worktable and knead in the rest of the flour. Continue kneading into a firm dough for between 8 and 10 minutes. Place in a bowl covered with a damp dishtowel in a very warm place for between 8 and 10 hours. If it looks spotchy and spooky, throw it out and start over. If it looks round and well-risen, it is ready to be refreshed. (I put mine in a slightly warm oven for 8 hours, and it came out somewhere between 'splotchy and spooky' and 'well-risen'. I didn't particularly want to start over, so I added some sourdough starter.)
The second refreshment
1 teaspoon malt extract or 1 teaspoon honey
Approximately 1/3 cup water
All of the levain from the previous step
1 cup organic, unbleached white flour
For the second refreshment: Dissolve the honey in the water. Break up the levain in a bowl and pour the honey-water over it. Start adding flour gradually while mixing. (Here, I added maybe half a cup of starter and enough good flour (which I'd purchased by then) to make the consistency I expected they wanted.) Mix into a firm dough that is not too dry. Let this refreshed levain fermente between three and five hours in a bowl covered with a damp cloth. It should double in size. (Yep, the sourdough saved it...)
The dough
1 pound tart Granny Smith or Gravenstein apples (4 cups cubed) (I think it was 3 apples?)
3-4 tablespoons butter for sauteeing the apples
1 package active dry yeast (I cut this down to one teaspoon, because of my addition of sourdough starter)
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon malt extract or honey
3 cups organic, unbleached white flour
1 cup organic rye flour
1 tablespoon salt
All of the levain de pomme from the previous step
Glaze: 1 egg white beaten with 1/2 cup cold water. (I skipped this. I am becoming less and less a fan of glazes and washes.)
To make the dough: Begin by preparing the apples. Peel, core, and cut them into 1/2 inch pieces. Saute them in the butter for a few minutes until they have softened. Set aside.
Proof the yeast in a little warm water and, when it is creamy, add it and the honey to the rest of the water in a large bowl. Cut the levain into pieces and add it to the liquid. Combine the salt and the two flours, then start adding the dry mixture to the liquid by handfuls, while mixing with a spoon. After you have added several handfuls of flour, you will need to stir the spongy mixture vigorously to dissolve the levain and make sure it is incorporated. Continue adding flour until the dough has come together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead in the sauteed apples and remaining flour. Knead the dough to a firm consistency with the rest of the flour. (This is a difficult task. My dough remained a bit on the sticky side when I decided it was 'done'.)
Set the dough aside, covered and in a warm place to rise for 1 1/4 hours, until doubled in size.
Cut the dough into 4 pieces and form each into a bâtard or a boule. Place the loaves on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise an additional 45 minutes to one hour.
Glaze the loaves (if desired) and slash with a blade.
Bake in an oven preheated to 425* or 450*F, either on the baking sheets or on a baking stone, for between 35 and 40 minutes. For the last 15 minutes of baking, reduce the temperature to between 375* and 400*F.
Note to the advanced baker: You may wish to reduce the amount of yeast to one teaspoon and extend the rising times to give more of a sourdough effect. You can also save a cup of the final dough and let that rise 8 hours if you wish to make the bread again the next day. Take that piece of dough from the 'second refreshment' step to make another batch.

Are you one of those fine-haired, limp-haired gals who can't seem to get a break? Do you generally count up more bad hair days than good ones? If so, you're not alone, but you should consider a different hair care routine.
Let's be honest; genetics come into play with your hair type, thickness and texture. Blame it on your parents. You can do amazing things with hair these days, however, and through the proper styling products and techniques, you can change the texture temporarily and fake perfect hair effectively.
You should also take a close look at the way you're cleansing and conditioning your mane. Those small details matter big time, and Chaz Dean would advise you read the backs of your hair care product bottles and jars. On most of them, you will find long names you can barely pronounce. If you see sulfates present, then start running now, because these chemicals aren't doing your locks any favors.
Chaz Dean developed his brand, WEN hair, the original no-poo method that so many competitors have tried to dupe. The popular LA stylist approached his concept of a no lather shampoo in an holistic way, because that's the kind of healthy lifestyle this iconic pro embraces on a personal level. His line uses zero sulfates, zero shampoo and instead, a natural, plant-based blend of extracts. If your hair is damaged, dry, limp and lifeless, his gorgeous cleansing conditioners will give your mane a major boost in shine, strength and control.
WEN even promotes a popular WEN Kids hair line, based on the same approach of nature, rather than a synthetic philosophy. His formulas are carefully made and manufactured under the highest standards. The entire family can enjoy the WEN way, because it's effective, gentle and defines a good hair day.
