Has a Type
Some people are relaxed in their appetites, and are happy to have sex with anyone that's happy to have sex with them; blond, brunette, redhead... Some people will chase Anything That Moves. This character, knowingly or not, is a bit more refined. Has A Type can be a physical archetype or an emotional one. Some characters prefer a certain look, while others prefer the relationship any physical body can bring. The important thing is that, from one relationship to the next, the character is consistent in his or her desires. When it's pointed out that this type is exactly like one of the character's parents, expect a great deal of Squick to ensue. This trope is more or less Truth in Television, as many people do have a preference. Taken to an extreme, it can even be classified as a fetish (peruse the extremely specific classifications of pornography for all the proof you can handle on that score). As a dramatic trope, this can occasionally take the form of First Girl Wins, when the character keeps finding unacceptable substitutes for The One That Got Away. Sometimes the character has a type that just doesn't work, and the Last Girl Wins breaks the pattern and lets him be happy. Sometimes it's comedy. Sometimes it's that the writer is the one with a type and it's Author Appeal. Despite the use of pronouns in the above, this trope can go both ways, as when a Girl Wants Bad Boys. If a protagonist has a red-headed girlfriend, that's Heroes Want Redheads. If a girl dates a punk from a broken home, then All Girls Want Bad Boys. If the protagonist only dates redheads or if she only goes after the boys that need fixing, then they Have Types. If the Type in question is already a trope, go ahead and put it under the relevant subtrope. List a character here if he's stated to have a type, or if the majority of the character's relationships fit a certain profile (please be more specific than "human"). If it's just "You're Not My Type", then don't put it here; unless it goes on to say what the type is, then that's just a rejection trope. Compare: Where Da White Women At?, Matzo Fever, Heroes Want Redheads, where the lover matches a type, but isn't necessarily his only type. Contrast: Anything That Moves, If It's You, It's Okay, Single-Target Sexuality, "You're Not My Type" Super Trope to: Amazon Chaser, Chubby Chaser, Likes Older Women
Examples:Anime & Manga
- Saint Seiya: At least in the anime, every girl/woman Cygnus Hyoga takes an interest in is blonde and blue-eyed, like his late mother to whom he is very attached.
- Queen Iono from Iono the Fanatics has a well-known preference for women with long, flowing black hair, just like her late mother.
- Played for laughs in High School D×D. You would think that Issei is an Anything That Moves kind of guy being a Lovable Sex Maniac and all. However the girls discover to their horror that Yuuto's female form is EXACTLY his type. The gender changing device is then summarily sealed.
- Hannyabal in One Piece is so completely unfazed by Hancock, the World's Most Beautiful Woman, that you could very well assume that he is asexual. However, when he later sees Nami (or rather, Mr. 2 who has transformed into Nami), he becomes lovestruck and shouts that she is just his type, so he obviously isn't asexual. It is not specified what his type exactly is, though; probably either redheads, shorter girls, younger girls, or a combination of some/all of the aforementioned.
- Sailor Moon: Venus, in her manga incarnations, has a definite preference for pale-haired warriors.
- Word of God stated as an answer of a fan-question that Levi from Attack on Titan likes people that are taller than him. A smart move since everyone Levi gets shipped with by fans is in fact taller than him.
- Superman has an odd type - women with the initials L.L. His love interests are Lana Lang, Lori Lemaris, and Lois Lane. This gives an interesting spin to his relationship with Lex Luthor. To say nothing of the fact that his biological mother was named Lara Lor-Van. Maybe he just got it from his father.
- Batman tends to go with bad girls with some good in them. While not the big requirement, his two most famous loves are this: Selina Kyle aka Catwoman and Talia ah-Ghul, daughter of Ra's.
- It's a common fan-joke that Nightwing is obsessed with redheads. In reality they're far from the only women he'll go for, but his two biggest loves, Barbara Gordon and Starfire, both fit the bill.
- Fangirls have also noticed his two biggest sources of Ho Yay, best friends Wally West and Roy Harper, are also ginger.
- Green Lantern John Stewart has a type: women who aren't from Earth. Katma Tui, Merayn and Fatality are all extraterrestrial. In Justice League Unlimited, this trend continued with Shayera Hol (Hawkgirl).
- Yorick being attracted to girls with obscure interests is a bit of a Running Gag in Y: The Last Man. Upon learning that a woman named her boat after the ship in Sirens of Titan, instantly proposed to her. Yorick's sister Hero lampshades this when Beth (not that Beth, the other one) starts rattling off side notes about the Swiss Guards that kidnapped them both in the name of the Catholic Church.
Hero: "Yup, you're definitely the sort of chick my brother would bone."
- In The Walking Dead, Michonne is only attracted to black men. Heath accuses her of also targeting men who are "taken" in order to prove she is better than other women, although her second love interest is a widower and unattached; the more likely motivation is that since there are so few black men to choose from, she goes after any who seem receptive even if they are still officially with another woman.
- Wolverine seems to prefer Japanese girls or redheads.
- In Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle fanfic Shatterheart, Syaoran notes that both his love interests are higher ranked than him. Syaoran's middle-class, his First Love Sakura is royalty and Second Love Kurogane is nobility.
- Kurogane has a thing for male Broken Birds as seen to his attraction to Fai and Syaoran.
- In Shallow Hal, Hal describes his ideal woman to Tony Robbins.
Hal: The problem is I'm kinda picky.Tony: What do you mean, picky?Hal: Well, for instance, I like 'em real young. Like, did you ever see Paulina [Porizkova] in her first Sports Illustrated layout?Tony: You're looking for a young Paulina type?Hal: That face, but with better headlights. You know how hers have kind of dimmed lately? Heidi Klum's beams would do. And her teeth. Or that Britney Spears girl. She's got great knockers. But she's a tad muscular. Actually, you know what? Her ass would do, too, if she had a better grille. Like Michelle Pfeiffer back when she did Grease. But she'd have to be a little smilier than Michelle. Like Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, before she got Stamosed. But not as skinny. Someone meatier, like Heidi, but without the accent. You know those accents: yah-yah-yah-yah. They really get old fast.You know what I'm saying. Someone like that.Tony: Don't you think you're being a little bit shallow in the way you look at women?Hal: Well, no. l mean, you know, I'd like her to be into culture and shit, too.
- Tremors: Val explains his preference in women and Earl later criticizes him for it. Val even has a number of pictures taped to his roof of his truck. Subverted in that the woman he ends up with is a petite brunette.
Val: Long, blond hair, big green eyes, world-class breasts, ass that won't quit and legs that go all the way up![snip]Earl: Damn it, Valentine. You don't go for any gal unless she fits your list, top to bottom.
- Upon hearing of Kate's profession of market research, Duke Leopold of Kate and Leopold says that research is perfect for the feminine mind and he himself once courted a librarian in Sussex.
- Emily tells Oliver in A Lot Like Love that he's not even close to being her type because he didn't make the first move, doesn't play guitar, and was born under the wrong star sign.
- The Yellow Bastard from Sin City has a type: little girls. He says that Nancy isn't his type now that She's All Grown Up... but he's willing to make an exception. Partly to hurt Hartigan, partly because she's The One That Got Away.
- James Bond states that he has a type in Casino Royale (2006): married. Married women are less complicated.
- In the movie based on Jack Weyland's book Charly, the woman of Sam's dreams is practical and pure. He then falls in love with the fun and flirty Charly and realizes that he had the wrong dreams.
- At the end of Tangled, Flynn invokes this, telling Rapunzel he has a thing for brunettes. In context it is a reassurance that he loves her for herself alone and not for her yellow hair — since it's no longer blond or magical.
- In The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob, a Jewish matchmaker asks the disguised Mohammed what kind of woman he prefers, and he reluctantly mentions a thing for redheads. At the end of the film Pivert's daughter runs away from her Arranged Marriage and her veil flies off, revealing very bright red hair. Naturally it's Love at First Sight for the both of them.
- Referenced in While You Were Sleeping: When Jack is asked about "his type", he deliberately gives a false answer (blondes) to hide his feelings. Only for his kid sister to relate what his real type is: a general description that easily includes Lucy.
- Some directors have a reputation for favouring a certain type of woman as leads in their films. For Alfred Hitchcock it was statuesque, cool blondes like Grace Kelly, Doris Day and Eva Marie Saint. For Howard Hawks it was down-to-earth women who appeared competent in their jobs, preferably brunettes and not too busty. And then there was Russ Meyer...
- Gor: The author loves submissive sluts. As for characters...
- In Vagabonds of Gor, Marcus has a type he's "almost insanely" attracted to: slim, exquisite, very lightly complexioned, dark-haired, dark-eyed.
- In Kur of Gor, Tarl is imprisoned with a woman whom the Priet-Kings have selected as being a perfect match to his desires, and he to her; but he can't do anything about it because she is a free woman and his Codes forbid acting upon those desires. This, Tarl presumes, is intended as torture. Of course once she becomes a slave he is no longer forbidden from acting.
- Ciaphas Cain, THE HERO OF THE IMPERIUM, prefers blondes (as he explains to the dark-haired cultist he shoots after Jurgen prevents her from mind controlling and sacrificing him).
- In Little Women, Amy says while she being courted by a wealthy man that she's always known that she's going to marry a man who's rich.
- In Loyal Enemies Shelena can't stop swearing that Tall, Dark and Handsome (that is, description of Veres) is MOST CERTAINLY NOT her type. Guess who becomes Official Couple by the end of the book.
- In Wen Spencer's Elfhome, Tinker sees the elf Windwolf had asked to marry him before her, and realizes that his type is short and brown.
- Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey has a type: shortish, dark-haired young women with light eyes. Apparently they remind him of his late mother. Ana fits this profile perfectly. This isn't a question of interpretation, either. Grey tells Ana this outright in Fifty Shades Darker:
...I like to whip little brown-haired girls like you because you all look like the crack whoremy birth mother. Im sure you can guess why.
- In David Brin's second Uplift trilogy, Gillian Baskin is reluctant to send Dwer back to shore because it presents a risk to her ship and crew if he's captured, but also because, partly, he's the first person she's been attracted to since she lost her husband.
Gillian: [thinking] Naturally. I've always been a sucker for hero types.
- Not only is Dwer driven by duty, very physically capable and quite intelligent, but also like her missing husband Thom, Dwer is a psi-gifted empath (unknown to Gillian).
- However, in Gillian's defense, Dwer is also the only living human mel she's seen in a year.
- In Heart Of Steel, the reader eventually learns that Alistair has fallen in love exactly twice, both times to women who were both blonde and intelligent. Considering that the first time was in college and the second time was after a psychotic break and ten years of solitude, this may be due to a small reference pool.
- On Downton Abbey:
- Robert, the Earl of Grantham, has been in a committed, loving relationship to his wife, Cora, for thirty years. He briefly flirts with a dalliance, but never goes beyond stolen kisses, with a housemaid who, like his wife, is a brunette with piercing blue eyes, devoted to her family.
- His daughter Edith seems to have a thing for older, competent men, who either are married or have been married in the past, and who are interested in teaching her about their area of competence. Or alternately, for anyone in unrequited love with Mary.
- Mad Men's Don Draper begins the show married to a blonde Stepford Smiler, but every single one of his affairs, bar one, is with a brunette. The exception is the instance where he was the pursued, rather than the pursuer—and occurred shortly after his divorce from the blonde Stepford Smiler.
- Barney Stinson declares in the pilot of How I Met Your Mother that he's discarded his old type (half-Asian girls) for a new type (Lebanese girls). Later he declares he doesn't have a type; that's crass and limiting. However, he kinda does. His type is naive bimbos with daddy issues. And Robin who has daddy issues but is very intelligent.
- Dr. Cox on Scrubs has a thing for strong women who don't take any of his crap. He prefers them brunette, but is happy to settle for a blonde ball buster.
- Gibbs on NCIS has a thing for redheads.
- In a sketch on Saturday Night Live about how to meet people for relationships, Tracy Morgan plays a man with a very specific type: Asian he-shes.
- One time on Later with Greg Kinnear Dave Foley was talking about his time on The Kids in the Hall, where the guys on the show played all the characters including the female ones. After getting made up as a girl for a scene Foley looked in the mirror and got a little turned on. As he said on Later he thought, "wow, I'm my type."
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Buffy appears to be attracted to doomed relationships, such as with vampires Angel and Spike. Though in the early seasons it's presented as a "bad boy" attraction, which Spike takes full advantage of when taunting Buffy's current boyfriend, Badass Normal Nice Guy Riley Finn.
"Face it, white bread. Buffy's got a type, and you're not it. She likes us dangerous, rough, occasionally bumpy in the forehead region. (patronizingly) Not that she doesn't like you ... but sorry, you're just not dark enough."
- There's also a Running Gag that Xander is attracted to demonic, or otherwise evil, women: the praying-mantis monster, Ampata, former demon Anya, that random chick from season seven...the main exception is Cordelia, and she became a demon after they broke up!
- Buffy appears to be attracted to doomed relationships, such as with vampires Angel and Spike. Though in the early seasons it's presented as a "bad boy" attraction, which Spike takes full advantage of when taunting Buffy's current boyfriend, Badass Normal Nice Guy Riley Finn.
- On the spin-off to Buffy, Angel, Angel is shown to have a thing for heroes (it's called kyrumption, silly), and also for blondes. These are both fulfilled in his truest love, Buffy, but also in his other love, Cordy (hero, though not an Action Girl like Buffy, and blonde when they were falling for each other), and his relationship with Nina (blonde). Angel also had some UST with Kate, a blonde detective, but she was Put on a Bus before anything could come of it, and Angel's longtime lover and companion from when he was evil is Darla, also a blonde. Angel's preference for blondes is used as an Out-of-Character Alert when Angel's body is taken over by an old man and Fred catches "Angel" making out with Lilah.
Cordy: What? This is totally like him. Doing the mystery dance with some cheap blonde?Fred: Brunette. She was a cheap brunette.Cordy: You're right. This isn't like him.
- On Friends, Rachel has a thing for doctors in the earliest seasons. The show brings up and then hastily backs away from the revelation that her father is a doctor. Eventually, she ends up with Ross, who's Not That Kind of Doctor.
Chandler: What, is your dad a doctor?
Rachel: Yeah. Why?
Chandler: *beat* No reason.
- Degrassi:
- Emma Nelson seems to only want bad boys. She's the good girl who wants them to change or she's using him to be less good. There's Sean, Peter, Jay, and Spinner. Although, by the time she becomes involved with Spinner, he's already become a responsible and mature adult.
- Jenna Middleton says that at her old school, she was such a boyfriend-stealer. Especially with bad-boy types. They're totally her weakness.
- Rory Gilmore of Gilmore Girls, over the course of the series, seems determined to date the baddest boy in the series (so long as he's booksmart) - first dumping wholesome Dean for Jess. After Jess leaves town, she ends up back with Dean, who is a significantly darker character, given that he's cheating on his wife with Rory. Later, she again dumps Dean for Logan, who is a member of a secret society and a rebel against the wealthy society of his upbringing.
- Smallville:
- Lex Luthor has a habit of hooking up with hot brunettes because they remind him of his mother as seen in the episode, "Bound".
- After Martha in the episode "Crusade" says "Trust me, that can happen to the best of us" about falling for a "farm-boy type", Lois replies "Not me, give me a nerd with glasses any day of the week". In the comics, Clark Kent wears glasses to separate his appearance from Superman's.
- On an early 30 Rock episode, Jenna is planning to seduce Jack:
Jenna: I know Jack Donaghy. I know what he likes.
Liz: Now you just have to make yourself ten years younger and Asian.
- In truth, though, Jack's "type" seems to run more on the personality level—strong, intense women committed to their families and/or principles. This ties together all four of his girlfriends who showed up after he started getting fully fleshed out: C.C. (very liberal Democratic Congresswoman, their political fights were foreplay), Elisa (Puerto Rican nurse, seriously Catholic and serious about her family), Nancy (recently-divorced mother with a seriously Irish temper and seriously Catholic guilt), and Avery (whip-smart, hard-bargaining, basically Jack as a young blonde). Presumably, the same thing attracted him to Condoleezza Rice (who only shows up in the series once). Phoebe, his girlfriend in Season 1, doesn't fit the mold, but the writers were still testing things out with Jack at the time.
- Ron Swanson of Parks and Recreation only likes dark-haired women because his first wife was blonde and she was so terrible that she turned him off blondes forever.
- Murdoch Mysteries:
- Detective Murdoch is by no means a seducer who would pursue women, but being Tall, Dark and Handsome and extremely intelligent and accomplished, women just fall into his arms. If he's ever interested in a woman, she's always intelligent and usually blond (his deceased fiancée Liza note , Dr. Julia Ogden, Mrs. Enid Jones, Miss Anna Fulford and Mrs. Sally Pendrick). Inspector Brackenreid feels an urge to point it out to him in "Evil Eye of Egypt," saying that he should be careful during an investigation because beautiful intelligent ladies are his weak spot. The lady in question, Dr. Iris Bajjali, is a highly intelligent scientist, but a dark Arabian beauty.
- James Gillies, who is hinted to be gay, seems to be drawn to dark-haired, good-looking, mild-mannered, smart men, which fits the description of his presumed boyfriend Robert Perry (a comely lad who was the brightest among his classmates as he was the teacher's assistant for a physics course) in "Big Murderer on Campus". It's revealed much later on that Gillies is also attracted to Murdoch—his only intellectual equal—after he kisses the detective on the mouth for a full three seconds in "Midnight Train to Kingston".
- Mac on Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia is attracted to beefy hunks. Ironically, he's also implied to have feelings for his roommate Dennis, who is unfit and fairly thin.
- On The X-Files, Mulder is most interested in his quest to reveal the truth about multiple conspiracies, but occasionally he shows attraction to tall, leggy, brunettes or blondes. He ends the series with Scully, a short, petite, redhead. This may be a Development Gag, as network executives originally wanted someone "taller, leggier, blonder and breastier" for the role of Scully, while Chris Carter pushed for Gillian Anderson.
- On White Collar, Peter tells Neal he used to have a crush on his algebra teacher.
Neal: Thus beginning your lifelong fascination with numbers.
Peter: And smart, leggy brunettes. [like his wife]
- Pretty Little Liars has Spencer, who is into Dating What Daddy Hates. Either working class boys with an attitude or her sister's fiances (yeah, that's a plural), her father never approves (her mother rarely approves at first, but then usually warms up to the boy. Like all of the mothers in the series). They always have dark hair, too.
- As a general rule, it seems a big portion of the men of Rosewood (Ezra, Ian, Wren, Garret, Holbrook...) has a very clear, rather disturbing type: underage highschoolers.
- Arrow invokes this trope by name: When Felicity walks in on Ray, shirtless, using a salmon ladder just like Oliver's, she wryly realizes she apparently has a thing for handsome superheroes.
Felicity: Oh, God. I have a type.
- Puck from Glee states that cougars are his type. While that is clearly true, his love interests are usually his age or younger, Shelby aside. If he has any type, it's tough.
- The Boondocks has Tom (black man) and Sarah (white woman) DuBois. One storyline reveals that each of them has only ever dated people from the other's race.
- The Eclipse Phase sourcebook "Panopticon" includes a dialogue between two Firewall agents discussing the profile they've pulled together on a Cartel supplier, including what kind of strangers he picks up at nightclubs. Though the only trait they mention is the fact that he's completely gay, even though some of his dates were sleeved in female bodies.
- The second edition of the Hatoful Boyfriend guidebook has each dateable bird asked what his type is. Yuuya bluntly asks "Isnt it nonsense to divide girls into types?" and most have similar non-answers, but Sakuya haughtily insists on someone with upper-class sensibilities (the heroine decidedly lacks those but can get him anyway) and Shuu just says "Ones who offer viscera that are as healthy as possible."
- Dr. Ayame Yukishita in Kiss Of Revenge is very definite about her preference for older men... and when she says older men, she means much older men, in their sixties at the youngest. (Ayame, for reference, is about thirty-two.)
- The Nostalgia Critic gets it bad for curvy, slightly psychotic brunettes who'll dominate him. When doing a list of favorite animated women as Doug Walker, however, his choices are a bit different. He notes that most of the women he chose were nice, but not pushovers, and that he seems to have a thing for Southern accents and workaholics.
- The Nostalgia Chick: Discussed in her list of Hottest Animated Guys, where she suggests that women tend to be more type-oriented than men. However the dominant type (for the Chick and her viewers) seems to be "bad boys". Elisa, meanwhile, loves stoic guys (like Goliath and Batman) while Nella prefers cute Woobies (like Thomas and Dmitri). There's also a Running Gag that the Chick loves blue guys, like Megamind, Hades and especially Nightcrawler. She also admits to loving characters who start as "lovable curmudgeons" and become nicer over time.
- From Red vs. Blue: Church and The Director have a kink for hotheaded women.
- From The Blockbuster Buster's review of I Am Number Four:
ERod: You know, I don't know what it is, but there is something about tiny blonde girls who kill monsters with pointy objects that I find very appealing. (leans back as the Buffy the Vampire Slayer theme song begins)
- Welcome to Night Vale host Cecil Palmer seems to have a thing for scientists. He is gushing over handsome scientist Carlos from the very first episode, and episode 67 has a past moments clip of a young Cecil reminiscing over a scientist he met while on a trip in Europe.
- In Something*Positive, it has become a Running Gag that PeeJee's type is "gay men," due to her longstanding crush on Jhim and her ex-fiancé coming out of the closet.
- In Ava's Demon, Maggie has one, and Odin's not it.
- On American Dad! Bullock has "the trifecta"—fat Asian skanks.
- Daria of Daria seems to like guys as intelligent and sarcastic as she is—"Daria Dance Party" shows her notably perk up when a flirtatious guy begins snarking. Also, while probably a coincidence, she seems to like "T" names (Trent, Ted, Tom...)
- Steven Universe seems to hint that Greg has a thing for tall women, which helps explain his Love at First Sight with eight-foot-tall Rose Quartz.
- PJ on Goof Troop has two love interests during the series, Rose Deckenbloom in "Puppy Love" and Beret Girl in An Extremely Goofy Movie, both of whom he immediately gains a crush on when they recite their poetry in front of him.

Participating in a week long cleanse can help to rid your body of the toxins that are built up over time by eating processed and fatty foods. This can impact how efficient your body's organs are as well as jump start your metabolism. How to tackle the cleanse can be a challenge, however. Refer to the seven simple steps below to enable yourself to partake in the cleanse successfully and with ease.
Choose a Cleanse
There are a variety of cleanses to choose from, such as a master cleanse, a juice cleanse, a raw foods cleanse, or simply a cleanse of your own design. A cleanse should eliminate all fatty and processed foods and can target specific items, such as a cleanse where gluten, processed sugar, meat and/or dairy products are eliminated. Consider your lifestyle and your personal strengths and limitations when choosing a cleanse that works for you and has the highest possibility of success.
Prepare a Menu
Setting a menu for yourself for each day of the week helps to remove the guesswork for the cleanse and allows you to prepare. A menu can serve as a roadmap for the cleanse that eliminates scrambling to throw together a meal that follows the cleanse rules. Plan out three meals a day for each day of the cleanse. Set aside recipes for each meal so that you are prepared for each day. Don't forget to include snacks for each day that are cleanse friendly. This helps to remove the temptation to cheat on the cleanse.
Stock (or un-stock) Your Refrigerator
Plan out a cleanse shopping trip in the days before the cleanse begins. Having everything you need on-hand can make tackling your already set aside recipes that much easier. Fill the refrigerator with cleanse friendly snacks as well, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, that you can grab on the go. You may also want to consider removing food items that do not suit the cleanse, such as meats, dairy products and especially junk foods, such as chips and cookies. If you do not want to waste food, consider freezing meats for after the cleanse is completed. You can also donate unopened foods to a local shelter or food bank. If others in your household are not participating in the cleanse, try moving all the non-cleanse food to a separate drawer in your refrigerator or cupboard so you do not constantly see them.
Prep Foods
Preparing as much of the foods in your recipes as possible beforehand makes following the cleanse day-to-day even easier. Slice up fruits and vegetables you have planned for the next day's salads and smoothies the night before. Prepare and pack your lunch the day before as well, in addition to any snacks you have planned. This enables you to make a quick breakfast and be out the door with your prepared lunch without having to get up any earlier to prepare it, which could become a deterrent. By prepping, you help remove any excuses for cheating on the cleanse.
Incorporate Exercise
Exercise can be a crucial complement to a cleanse. Set aside time each morning, night or even on your lunch break to take a walk. Even simple and quick exercise integrated into your day can be helpful. For example, opt for the stairs instead of the elevator. Intentionally park your car far away from entrances to get in a few extra steps. Look up classes at your local gym, such as yoga or Pilates, to complement the week long cleanse. Once hooked, you may even continue these new exercise habits after the week long cleanse has completed.
Make Water Accessible and Appealing
Water is a critical component for every cleanse. Drinking eight to 12 glasses a day can help you to flush toxins from your body more effectively and also stay hydrated. By being adequately hydrated, you will likewise feel better throughout the day. Exercise will be easier and you will also feel better as a whole. Fill a large water bottle every morning to keep with you throughout the day. You could also freeze water bottles each night for ice cold beverages throughout the following day. Make water more appealing by adding slices of cucumber, lemon or lime to it.

Keeping a journal of your results can help to keep you motivated. Likely, the first couple days of the cleanse will be the most difficult. You may feel tired and irritable as your body adjusts to the new foods and lack of caffeine. As the days progress, however, you will likely feel more alert and energized. By journaling about your progress you can help keep record of the journey that you can use as inspiration and motivation for your next cleanse. You may also want to keep a daily tally of your weight, if weight loss is one of your goals. This can also serve as a motivating factor for this cleanse as well as future cleanses. Tracking bowel movements can also be helpful. Cleanses help aid the body in digestion and help eliminate digestive issues. By monitoring this trend as well, you can help yourself to fully see the impact of the cleanse on your body.

I heard the Xoom Tablet Computer is the best tablet going, anyone know when it is coming out. I read on xoomtabletcomputer.com that it comes out in late February, any truth to that.
Light bulbs you shouldn't buy
There are plenty of dimmable LED light bulbs, but make sure you don't buy the ones that flicker when you dial them down.

"We're focused on Sept. 1 obviously because playing in that arena and that stage," U-M coach Brady Hoke said Sunday before playing in the Griese/Hutchinson/Woodson Champions for Children's Hearts golf outing to raise money for U-M's Mott Children's Hospital. ...

Great for organizing all of my random screws, bolts, and things. Stole the idea of of a youtuber, and fellow reviewer about building a rolling cabinet to house these as stacking they will get cumbersome after a bit. Purchased them while they were on sale, and for the price not on sale they are still worth it. Purchase a couple of the deeper larger ones and a few small ones to even out everything. If i ever fill them all up i'll definitely be getting more.FYI the smaller 15 bin ones are the same height so making shelves was easy.

Use it to store Bolts/Nuts/Screws. Bins are nice size to accommodate large to small sizes. The cover is flimsy and heavier items causes it to bulge out and smaller items escape their bins within the case if it is stored in any position other then laying down. For the price it is good.

One of the most useful things you can buy to keep your nuts, bolts, washers or any other type of hardware items you have all over the place in one easy organizer, they come in a variety of sizes. I'm sure there is one or more that will be helpful in getting your clutter organized.
Works so good, ' bought two more.
By Handy Randy
from Olathe, KS
I install drinking water systems that have a lot of small fittings. I placed them in the storage box and no longer had to search 3-4 cans of parts. Why didn't I do this earlier? The box is rugged and is surviving my abuse well. The next box is going to be for electrical parts. Thanks for providing a great value.

- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine if reducing or eliminating radiation treatment to one or both sides of the neck where there is no evidence of cancer can help spare the side effects of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. In this study, we plan to reduce the amount of radiation treatment received to healthy tissue
Cancer of the Larynx
Radiation: IMRT
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Phase II Trial Evaluating Elimination of Radiation Therapy To Pathological N0 Neck(s) With Intensity Modulated Postoperative Radiation Therapy
- Eliminate radiation of PN0 neck(s) and demonstrate >90% control in the unirradiated neck(s) [ Time Frame: 12 months of follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Recurrence in a PN0 neck that was not treated is the critical endpoint in this study.
- Evaluate the rates of locoregional control, disease specific survival, overall survival, and patterns of failure [ Time Frame: 5 years from completion of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Evaluate impact of treatment volume on toxicity and quality of life through the use of validated PRO QOL instruments with PTV as a continuous variable. [ Time Frame: Acute toxicity = through 90 days after completion of treatment, Late = from 90 days through patient's death ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Compare standard treatment volume (CTV and PTV) with protocol defined treatment volume in terms of organ specific dose volume histograms [ Time Frame: Completion of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

2015 Friendship Walk from Nova's Ark Admin on Vimeo.
2015 Friendship Walk…Sunny Days Ahead
This year we moved the Friendship Walk from April to June…what a difference a few months make. We went from shivering in heavy coats last year to basking in the warm sunshine this year! Such a marvelous turnout on Saturday, June 20 for our 2015 Friendship Walk. How wonderful to see such happy faces on friends, both old and new, as everyone gathered to enjoy a day of family and fun in support of Nova's Ark. To all those who gave pledges and walked with us – you have truly made a difference.
We'd like to recognize and thank Mayor Don Mitchell, who shared his Saturday with us and did such a tremendous job as our Masters of Ceremonies, as well as to members of the Town of Whitby Council: Regional Councillors, Lorne Coe and Elizabeth Roy and Ward Councillor, Derrick Gleed, who supported us on this lovely, event filled day.
…to the very talented musicians of Workin' Dawgs, who have performed at our Walk each year no matter what the weather…so glad it was sunshine this year!
…to the owners/staff of Starr Burger, who also join us every year to provide our guests with a delicious BBQ served with a great big smile, and of course
…to the many corporate supporters who have been with us from the very beginning and to the new supporters who have come on board for 2015.
Click here to see our 2015 Friendship Walk Corporate Supporter Page.
Of course we can't forget the AMAZING Nova's Ark Volunteer Force… the tremendous adult and youth volunteers who set-up/tore down, answered questions, shared stories, handled registrations, worked with the animals, baked goods, and ran the sales and craft tables. We couldn't do it without you!
This was our 5th very successful Friendship Walk and we plan to continue the tradition in June of 2016. This year's fundraising reached close to $9,000 and we are so very grateful for all of those who donated, in whatever way they felt possible. Each and every donation made a difference.
Thank you for believing and making such a huge impact for all involved at Nova's Ark!

1As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do; 2how that having given them leave to depart, and sent them hastily away, they would repent and pursue them. 3#Wis 18.10Exod 14.5-9 For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone. 4For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments: 5#Exod 14.21-31 and that thy people might pass a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.
6For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt: 7#Exod 13.21Exod 14.20Exod 14.2122Ps 106.9 as namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red Sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field: 8wherethrough all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvelous strange wonders. 9#Isa 63.13 For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.
Animals Changed for the Israelites
10 # Exod 8.1617 Exod 8.236 For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes. 11But afterwards they saw a new generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats. 12#Num 11.31 For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.
The Egyptians Worse than the People of Sodom
13 # Ps 77.18 And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behavior toward strangers. 14#Gen 19.4-8Exod 1.1113 For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them. 15And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly: 16#Gen 45.7-1047.1-12 but these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them. 17#Exod 10.23Wis 17.2Wis 18.4Gen 19.11 Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.
Elements Changed for the Israelites
18For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done. 19#Exod 8.3 For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground. 20#Wis 16.17 The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgot his own quenching nature. 21#Exod 16.14Wis 16.2227 On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things, though they walked therein; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat, that was of nature apt to melt. 22For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.

When in Rome
... we had some takeout pizza. Right by our hostel was the pizza equivalent of subway, and the two older Italian men who ran it had great fun messing with us. we spent the evening on the rooftop patio of our hostel bonding with one of our bunkmates Emma, an Australian, and some of the other residents. Day 3 Today we tried to walk around and hit some of the landmarks that we had missed on the first day. It took longer than we had planned, because it turned out we had ...
Palazzo Colonna - Exquisite!
... Rome and then had a lovely lunch at a restaurant called L'Archello. It was good to have a walk home afterwards
I have been thinking about Rome a lot lately. I think it is best described as being like when you start to read a new (huge) book. At first you are anxious, you don't like some aspects of it (maybe) and there seem to be mainly good bits but some annoying bits also. However, the more you get into it, ...
Roman ruins and Piazza playtime
Our roman adventure was very much about the food, wine and good company. And of course the old stuff too. Our b&b we stayed in was awesome, tucked away in an apartment of one of Romes many busy roads. On our first afternoon there we dumped our stuff and went off exploring or some might say getting lost. We saw some huge monuments, there are so many I can't remember all of their names but the few I do we're the altar of the ...
Lazy day today
... easily get used to.
Pam and Gary came over for pre-dinner drinks before we headed out to DOT for dinner and afterwards a very well deserved Gelati from Fior di Luna. Best gelati I have ever tasted. Mmmmmmmmm! Mmmmmmmm!
All roads lead to Rome
... today! We arrive, sweating and tired, to an awesome apartment and a gracious host. After resting for a few minutes, we head out to start seeing the sites of Rome! The route we set out on is suggested in Rick Steve's Rome guide book. We started our "Piazza Tour of Rome" in the Piazza de Popolo, a huge square with an obelisk, Michael Jackson and a man floating on thin air, just ask Neil! Our tour continued to the Spanish Steps, but we only ...

Supermoon thrills skywatchers last night
I tried. I really tried to see if the perigee supermoon looked bigger to my eye last night but honestly I couldn't tell. Without a side by side comparison with a normal-distance full moon I could only imagine it looked larger. But did it dampen my enthusiasm? Heck no.
Gazing at that orange disk in blue twilight I hatched a plan to tell the difference. There are several small but distinct features on the moon that make good references – the rayed-craters Copernicus, Kepler and Aristarchus and the small, dark Sea of Moisture (Mare Humorum).
Last night I studied them with the naked eye to gain an impression of how difficult or easy each was to see. Copernicus, Kepler and Mare Humorum were no problem. Only Aristarchus took a bit more effort because it lies closer to the edge of the lunar disk and its ray system is the smallest of the three.
I burned the impression in my mind and will hold onto it for 6 months until Jan. 16, 2014, when it darn well better be clear. That's the date of the next apogee or most distant full moon. On that night I'll again stare squarely at the Full Wolf Moon like some lunatic and compare my impressions. Maybe then I'll finally see the difference between lunar perigee and apogee.
I hope all of you got some wonderful looks at the moon last night. After watching its coppery disk come up through thin clouds I returned home, walked the dog and noticed a downy blanket of fog forming over a nearby field. I spent a serene hour listening to frogs while taking time exposures of moonlight, fog and trees.
Anyone who has ever taken pictures by moonlight at night knows that the longer you make your exposure, the more the scene resembles daylight. After all, the moon's just a stand-in for the sun. Its surface reflects a small percentage of sunlight back to light our skies after the lunar disk absorbs the lion's share. Finding a balance between "daylight" lunar exposures and ones that still look like nighttime can be tricky especially at full moon. Try it sometime with your own camera – long exposures almost look like they were shot at noon!

Aloha Astro Bob and Everyone!
Every time I hear someone call this full moon a "super" moon, I think to myself, "Couldn't 'they' think of a better "nickname"?" However, it seems to fit perfectly and I start thinking (again) of what must have gone through the minds of people who lived before the "scientific age" when celestial events like this happened.
I remember, as a very young boy, when I saw a full moon near the horizon and it looked so gigantic that I actually thought it was moving toward earth on a collision course! Not one to jump to conclusions without more information, my near-panic was short lived as soon as the moon rose a bit higher in the sky and it went back to its "normal" size. Those first few times seeing these "magnified" images of the moon really must have had a profound effect on me since I can remember exactly how I felt at a time in my life around 50 (or more) years ago.
Even after all this time, I never grow tired of looking at the moon in all its "phases". It still stops me in my tracks sometimes when events like this happen. Thanks for your great articles about it because without them, I'd not learn many of the fascinating facts you include.
I'm happy your skies cleared enough for you to enjoy and take those wonderful pictures of this natural phenomenon. Having relatives in and around the Minneapolis area, I know a good portion of Minnesota was hit by a massive storm system Friday/Saturday that actually caused a power outage for one of my sons who live on the westside of Minneapolis; something that doesn't happen as much as it used to when I lived there! I hope you and your family escaped unscathed from it and no harm came to anyone (or anything).
That's it. No questions. I just wanted to "check up" on you and thank you again for your wonderful and educational "blogs". I, for one, appreciate all the time and effort you put into this as it "educates" more folks about "heavenly events" than you may realize. Keep up the great work!
Aloha For Now!
I agree his "educational blogs" are great .If people would spend 10 minutes a day off . FB, Twitter , Instagram etc. and replace that time on this site or Khan Academy we would have a far more productive world!
It's nice to 'meet' you. I just wanted you to know that I agree with you in your above comment and "know" many others do too.
I honestly don't know if "Dr. Bob King" is the appropriate (or truthful) "tag" instead of one of us "grunts" that need to learn and just be called "Mr. Bob King" (although I'm sure either "could" be true). Perhaps someone could ASK him if he would be "more" interested in writing more "educational" blogs (although one would be hard-pressed to find a blog lately that isn't or more like his writings when this "Blog" started back on Leap Year Day, February, 2008…ah…the memories, eh 'Dr.' Astro Bob?
Anyway, just know I agree with you and you aren't alone in your feelings/opinion, OK? OK!
Aloha For Now!
According to a YouTube video which I watched recently, there is now scientific evidence that the full moon may affect someone's sleep cycles and I found this article really interesting, seeing as in ancient folklore there are many myths about werewolves that come out on the night of the full moon which is also associated with madness.
Apparently it is said that people tend to sleep better during the New Moon phase and find it harder to sleep during the Full Moon phase (which was interestingly not down to the extra light), but it is said that long before we invented clocks and calendars, we used to rely on the moon's phases.

The device his team studied is already approved in the United States and marketed as the LINX Reflux Management System by Torax Medical, Inc., which also funded the study.
Ganz said he could envision the device as an option for "some fraction" of the 20 million to 30 million Americans who take a daily medication for GERD symptoms.
There are, of course, less extreme ways to manage your heartburn. Diet changes and weight loss often help, and if your heartburn is milder, over-the-counter antacids or drugs called H2 blockers -- brands like Zantac and Tagamet -- may be enough.
Proton pump inhibitors, which block acid production, are often recommended for people with more frequent heartburn. If that doesn't work, surgery is typically seen as the last-ditch option.
Traditionally, that has meant a 50-year-old procedure called Nissen fundoplication, where the upper part of the stomach is stitched around the lower end of the esophagus.
Performed by an experienced surgeon, that procedure is very effective, said Dr. F. Paul Buckley III, director of general surgery at the Heartburn and Acid Reflux Center, Scott and White Clinic in Round Rock, Texas.
The problem, though, is that the surgery creates a rigid ring around the esophagus, explained Buckley, who was not involved in the new study. That often leaves patients with difficulty swallowing or with other natural bodily functions -- including belching and vomiting.
The LINX device, Buckley said, is designed to be "dynamic," expanding when food passes through, then quickly contracting again to prevent reflux.
"I think this will have a significant effect on how we treat GERD," Buckley said.
However, the device is not without problems: Two-thirds of the study patients had difficulty swallowing at first, although that dropped to 11 percent after one year, and 4 percent after three years.
Six patients had more serious side effects, including four who

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. builders started construction last month on the most single-family homes and apartments since July 2008, more evidence that the housing recovery is gaining momentum.
The Commerce Department says housing starts jumped 3.6 percent in October from September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 894,000. Single-family home construction dipped 0.2 percent.
Apartment construction, which is more volatile, rose 10 percent.
Applications for building permits, a sign of future construction, fell 2.7 percent to 866,000, after jumping 12 percent in September to a four-year high. Still, permit applications to build single-family homes rose to their highest level since July 2008.
Housing starts are 87 percent above the annual rate of 478,000 in April 2009, the recession low. That's still short of the 1.5 million annual rate considered healthy.
