--- - Taylormade M3 2018 Driver
Twist face
This is a revolutionary new face curvature with a corrective face angle on off-centre hits, engineered to reduce side spin and deliver straighter shots. Twist Face provides more loft in the high-toe and less loft in the low-heel to produce more consistent spin where golfers commonly miss hit
M3 460cc Driver:
Hammerhead slot
A new sole slot implemented into TaylorMade's most adjustable driver for the first time! The reinforced outer portions of the slot allow for a lighter, more flexible face, resulting in a larger sweet spot and the centre portion of the slot increases ball speed low on the face and drops unwanted spin for more distance
A simple and intuitive system to move weight and personalize ball flight for draw/fade/high/low shots. The tracks are connected for the first time, allowing for an unrestricted movement of 22g of mass - (Two 11g weights). The back Y-portion provides forgiving draw and fade options. Splitting the weights provides the ultimate in forgiveness.
This M3 driver also comes with its own branded head cover.
Price: Please Call

Krustyland Quests
The Krusty-est Place On Earth Pt. 1
- Place the Krustyland Shuttle
- Tap the Shuttle and go to Krustyland
Start Quest Dialog
( click here )
Ugh. Can someone tell me why the same dogs run every race at our track?
And why, given that, a TV clown would blow his entire fortune betting on said races?
Krusty? You're broke?
No, broke means you have zero. I am millions in debt. If I was only broke, I'd be the richest jerk on earth.
Why don't you just re-open Krustyland and make your money back?
Krustyland is a mess. They never tell you how expensive the "maintenance" part of a theme park is.
Or how when you don't pay "maintenance," and one ride topples onto another ride and careens into a crowded midway, it can also be expensive.
Then again, rebuilding Krustyland would be a great way to kill time, and keep people from focusing on more important tasks like work and school.
Anything I can do to harm America's productivity. Let's do it!
Isn't Krustyland way out of town? How will we get there?
Leave that to me! By which I mean, the Sky Finger. Get to it, chump!

The old Krustyland is a dump. Where am I gonna find a schmuck fakakta enough to clean up this mess.
Ooh, Yiddish — that often leads to Latkes.
Hey hey! Welcome to Krustyland!
Step right up to our newest attraction: Grab That Girder Over There and Drag It, Then Every Other Girder, to Somewhere the Truck Can Get to Them More Easily!
Long name. Sounds fun!

I gotta say, Krusty, the girder-dragging ride at Disneyland is better.
And why reward me with these stupid tickets? A guy like me is used to getting paid in cold, hard pretend money.
Those are Krustyland Tickets! They're like money but more… fun! Hoo Hoo Ha Ha!
Also, you're going to need those tickets to rebuild the Krustyland Entrance. So hand 'em over!

The Krusty-est Place On Earth Pt. 4
- Place Krustyland Paths
Start Quest Dialog
( click here )
The harder it is for people to find their way around a theme park, the less time they spend on its fragile, deadly rides.
I need a boneheaded, twisting, counterintuitive layout for this place. Where's that guy from before?
Hi, Mr. The Klown — I'm that guy from before. I want to once again lodge a complaint about being paid in your personal scrip instead of money.
And I look forward to that conversation. Right after you try our latest attraction: Build A Path!

The Krusty-est Place On Earth Pt. 5
- Place the Ring Toss Stall
Start Quest Dialog
( click here )
You know, this theme park is starting to feel a lot like work.
But, if I may finish that thought, it's all worth it when you get your payout of Krustyland Tickets.
Is that how that thought finishes? Well, I guess I can't tell my thoughts what to think. Okay, what's next?
Now comes the important stuff.
The rides are just a way to bring customers — or, as we call them in the industry, "Fat Dummies Deserving of What They Get" — into the park.
I didn't know we had a nickname! Pretty sweet.
But it's the rigged, unwinnable midway games where you make the real dough.

Bra Fit Checklist
Sebastian & Millicent's Quick Guide to a Bra that Fits!
Sometimes it's immediately obvious that a bra you're trying on doesn't fit correctly. But sometimes, there are less obvious signs that the bra you have on is doing little to support and flatter your shape. Even if a bra may feel right, it may not be giving you proper support or enhancing your assets. This could be because you need to get a fitting, or adjust the bra style to suit your breast shape - if this is the case, check out our Breast Shape Guide which wil help you determine the right bra shape for your breasts.
If you're pushed for time, go through our quick check guide to make sure your bras are supportive

Excerpt from Living Room Tables for Modern Style:
If you have modern house, living room tables will be good furniture to use. Table in living room will go side by side with sofa as the center of everything. Normally, your guests enter the living room then sit on sofa which the table stays in front of them.

Why do I have to pay shipping for my member kit when I'm picking it up at registration?
Making the membership kits available early for HANSON Day attendees is a benefit we offer to members; however, this benefit does incur an expense of preparation time by our team which is more than that of shipping the kits. Due to the greater cost of early preparation we must charge for shipping and are not able to refund you the cost of shipping the membership kits. If you prefer, we would be happy to mail the member kit to you following the HANSON Day event.
What is a Hanson.net Membership?
A Hanson.net Membership is a membership to HANSON's Fan Club on Hanson.net.

The link to reset your password will be sent to the email address on file for your account. To help ensure the delivery of the email please add email addresses from @hanson.net to your approved list.
When creating a new password, your password must meet our new security guidelines. In most cases, this will mean your password will be 12 - 16 characters in length using both uppercase and lowercase letter and several numbers. Use only English characters - no accents of any kind. It may take several tries before you create an acceptable password.
I just purchased my membership but I am not able to access member exclusive areas of the site, what should I do?
You will need to log out of your account, clear you web browser cache and then go back to Hanson.net and log back in. If you are still having the issue please contact Customer Service.
I forgot my password and the email associated with my account has been closed. What can I do?
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done. Passwords are sent only to the email on file with an account for security reasons. It is your responsibility to keep your email up to date. If you have any further questions, please contact Customer Service.
I can't remember my username and the email associated with my account has been closed. What can I do?
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done. We cannot give out a username for security reasons. It is your responsibility to keep your email up to date.
My membership still has a month left, but I want to go ahead and renew now. Can I do that?
Yes, you may renew at any time and extend your expiration date by 1 year(365 days).
Can I change my account username?
No. Account names cannot be changed or deleted.
How do I purchase a membership for someone else as a gift?
First, log out of your account. This is very important!
Go to the membership product page and scroll to the bottom. You will find step by step instructions there.
I have to reset my password almost everytime I come to HNet. What can I do to fix this?
When updating your password, do not use a mobile device and be sure your cookies are turned on. When using a laptop/PC, we recommend using FireFox as a browser.
Where are the tour dates?
Tour dates can be found under Calendar.
I heard HANSON is playing in my city for the tour, but it's not listed. Why not? Does that mean they aren't coming?
Many times other websites will post ticketing information & concert dates before they are confirmed. It will not be posted on Hanson.net until it is 100% confirmed.
A local venue announced HANSON is playing soon and put tickets on sale, but Hanson.net still hasn't announced it. Is it safe to go ahead and buy tickets?
We STRONGLY recommend that you never purchased tickets until a show is confirmed on Hanson.net.
What is a presale?
A presale is when a certain amount of tickets are released for Fan Club members. They can be purchased either through Hanson.net, or other ticket vendor's (i.e.: Ticketmaster) using an exclusive password. The presale is an apportunity for Fan Club members to purchase tickets before the general public, but there is no guarantee you will get a ticket as we cannot predict demand for a particular venue.
How do I get presale tickets?
You must be a Fan Club member to participate in presales. When presale starts, go to the Calendar section. All information needed regarding the presale will be posted at the time the sale begins. You should also check the Tour Talk forum where questions are answered concerning presales.
Why doesn't my city have a presale?
HANSON & Hanson.net will try to have a presale for every show possible. However, sometimes due to circumstances beyond their control, a presale isn't available.
Is there a limit to how many tickets I can buy?
There is a specified ticket limit per show, usually either 2 or 4 tickets per show, but varies according to vendor and venue.
Why are the fees on tickets so much?
We do not control any of the ticket vendors and they have the right to add whatever fees they deem reasonable. We realize this makes the overall price higher, but we have no control over those fees.
Why did I get row H in the presale when my friend got row B in the general sale?
Each venue chooses what seats they will release to the band for presale. While some venues give fan club members the best seats, other venues reserve the first few rows for radio or general sale. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. The presale simply gives you the opportunity to get in the door, not necessarily the best seat in the house.
I want to sell my tickets because I can no longer attend a show. Is it ok to make a post on HNet to try to sell them?
You may ask other Fan Club members to buy your tickets only after the general sale begins and then only for the face value of the ticket.
All threads to sell tickets should be placed in the Tour Talk forum only. Threads placed elsewhere will be deleted.
Are we allowed to have cameras at a concert?
The only person allowed to have a pro camera is the "Hanson.net Reporter" or local photographers who have been granted special passes. We do allow personal cameras. This is subject to venue policy, so in some cases cameras may not be allowed.
Can I videotape the show?
ABSOLUTELY NOT - We do not allow videotaping of shows, except for Hanson.net or 3CG staff.
What is the Hanson.net Reporter?
The Hanson.net Reporter is a member of Hanson.net chosen to report every aspect of the show for Hanson.net. The reporter gets to interview HANSON (3 - 7 questions) before the show. The interview is recorded for Fan Club members to hear at a later date.
How are Reporters chosen?
Hanson.net will choose a random member (usually one who has never met HANSON) attending the concert to receive this honor. There are hundreds of qualified people on Hanson.net and they will have a hard time choosing who gets the job.
If I can't get reporter, I want a Meet & Greet, how do I get one?
Meet & Greets are chosen randomly, given to a fan that has never been able to meet the band. Go to the Calendar page, find a show you are attending and request a Meet & Greet. This will add your name to the list of those attending. The winners are chosen from this list.
I'm not very popular on the website, and don't post a lot, can I still get one?
Yes. The Meet & Greets are random and not based on popularity.
How will I know if I get one?
You will be notified by email 7 - 30 days before the show.
If I get a Meet & Greet email, is there anything I have to do other than show up?
Yes. If you receive a Meet & Greet email, you will be given very specific instructions that MUST be followed or your Meet & Greet will be forfeited.
How will I know if I get a Meet & Greet? and can I give another email to someone so I can get it sent to me at another addy?
Your Meet & Greet invitation will be sent to the email on file with your account. We suggest you clean out your mailbox and check it often during the tour. We are not responsible for lost or misdirected emails.
I got a Meet & Greet for one city and my friend got one for another city. We want to go together. So who do we contact to get that changed to the way we want it?
We are not able to make a change to the city a meet and greet is assigned to once it has been confirmed. You can't choose what city your Meet & Greet is for.
Can I trade my Meet & Greet with someone from a Meet & Greet in another city?
Can I give my Meet & Greet to someone else that I think wants it more?
No. Meet & Greets are non-transferable.
If I don't get one before the show, can I get one AT the show?
You can get a Meet & Greet at the show on rare occasions. There will be time when there is an extra spot or two and someone will come out and choose a few more people. Take your membership card with you just in case.
How many Meet & Greets are given at each show?
On the average, 5 - 15 per show including the reporter. However, remember there are other promotions that have Meet & Greets winners and the band's schedule is tight during tour so that may impact the number given to Hanson.net members.
Note: Please do not email the band members, Hanson.net staff or 3CG Staff concerning Meet & Greets.
What do we have to present at the will call window to get our tickets? The credit card and an ID?
Each venue is different, but most will require a photo ID such as a driver's license and the credit card with which the tickets were purchased. Check with the venue if you aren't sure what is required to pick up your tickets.
Do I need an ID to get into a show?
We recommend that all fans attending shows carry an ID. In some states, the law requires you to show an ID to enter certain types of venues. Others require ID if the show is in any way age restricted. It's also a matter of safety should anything happen to you while at a show, the staff will need a way to ID you. Quite simply - always carry an ID.
The venue I'm going to doesn't take state IDs for identification - only driver's licenses. I do not drive and therefore don't have a license, what do I do?
In this case, call the venue and ask to speak to a manager. Explain that you do not drive and ask what form of ID would be acceptable. Some venues require a driver's license or passport for identification while others will take alternate forms of ID. Each venue can set their own policies and we have no control over their policies.
Do I get a photo alone with the band or a group? Where can I find my M&G photo?
All M&G photos are in a group with the exception of the reporter or if you are attending BTTI. M&G photos are housed in the Archive. Login to your Fan Club account then go to Calendar > Archive and search by city or date. Photos are posted when ready and may take several weeks to be posted.
Do I need a ticket to the show in order to attend the M&G?
Yes. In order to attend the M&G, you must have a ticket to that show. Tickets will be collected upon entry.
I want an item that was previously available in the store, but it isn't in the store now. What do I do?
If an item has been removed from the store, it will not usually be restocked or have additional stock available. You can email Customer Service to request the item be restocked and if that is an option the Customer Service team will work to restock the item. There is no guarantee that an item can be restocked.

Please visit our Customer Service area for additional inquiries or concerns.
I do not live in the United States. I live in another country. Why does it take so long for my order to get to me?
Customs policies vary from one country to the next as do postal systems. Once the item has left our shipping center, we cannot control how long it will take for you to receive your international order. In addition, we cannot control whether or not the customs service in your country assesses an additional fee.
Why is the cost of international shipments more when I add a membership kit to my order?
Membership kits are shipped separately from other items within your order. When a membership kit is added to an order the additional shipping cost for the membership kit being shipped separately will be added to your order.
I always worry a little when I shop online. Is there a privacy policy for the store?
At Hanson.net we are 100% committed to protecting your security and privacy.
We know that when you shop online, you want to know that your name, address, credit card details and any other information you give us is kept safe and secure, and we promise to do that.
Our complete commitment to customer service means we'll make sure you, and only you, can access your account or view your financial details.
And because we know how annoying junk mail is, we promise not to pass on your e-mail address, home address or any other details to any party.
If I think my order is lost, how long should I wait before asking Hanson.net to trace/replace my order?
For US orders, you will need to wait 30 days after your package is marked as shipped. For International orders, you will need to wait 60 days after your package is marked as shipped. Please remember to respond to any notifications received by your postal service/customs regarding your order. If they do not receive a response, your order may be returned to Hanson.net and you will be charged to reship the order.
Please note: If Hanson.net has evidence from the shipping provider that an order was delivered, Hanson.net is not responsible for claims that the package was not delivered. Additionally, if you contact us about a lost order, no action will be taken until the appropriate time period has passed.
How long does order processing take?
Order processing may take up to 10 business days. You will receive a shipment confirmation email at the email on your order when your order is shipped.
I looked this morning and you had the latest tour shirt. 3 hours later, the page disappeared. Why?
Sometimes, we have very limited quantities of certain items. Once they sell out, the item is removed from the store. If an item is marked "limited," it's best to order it as soon as you see it.
My kid spilled grape juice on my white tour shirt and even though I washed it, it won't come out completely. How do I get a replacement shirt?
Please refer to the store return policy. We cannot be responsible for accidents that happen with your merchandise. You will need to purchase a new shirt.
I didn't read the washing instructions and washed my shirt the wrong way. Now it shrank! How do I get a replacement?
Please refer to the store return policy. You will need to purchase a new shirt.
My confirmation number says the Post Office was notified of my order but doesn't indicate receipt. What do I do?
You don't need to do anything. If you have a tracking number, your package has been mailed. It is not unusual for the Postal Service to miss scanning some packages when shipping items out of their facility.
I haven't gotten a confirmation email or a reply from Customer Service. Why?
There could be many reasons, but the most common are the following:
- Not including an email on your form
- Misspelling your email on the form
- Not adding hanson.net to your white (approved) list
Note: If you use hotmail, yahoo, comcast, AOL or gmail, those services often reject or block hanson.net email even when added to your white (approved) list. Be sure to check your spam folders for replies. Mail from firstname.lastname@example.com will be the most common email you will receive regarding your order and we suggest you place it in your address book or on your approved list.
Why is shipping/handling added to my membership order?
The cost of the Hanson.net membership kit has stayed the same for 10 years while shipping/handling costs have increased 8 times in that period. Due to the additional costs and added features on the new Hanson.net, the shipping and handling is now separate.
What is a pre-order item?
A pre-order item is a product that will most likely be offered in limited quantities. To guarantee you will receive the item, you will need to pre-order by a given date as extra stock may not be available.
What is a limited edition item?
A limited edition item is a product that will be available in the Hanson.net store for a very limited period of time.

I just joined Hanson.net and wanted to get a few pins but have not quite figured out how to do it, what's a good way to start?
Pins are achievable throughout the entire Hanson.net site, a good starter pin to get is to fill out your profile information and to make a few friends. Both of these are good ways to get you acquainted with how the pins work. See more Pins and how to achieve them in your account Pins section within your account.
My friend has a cool pin and I want one too, how do I get it?
Click on your friends pin and it will link you to what the pin is and how to achieve it.
Could customer service just give me the pin I want?

I have more Pins than will fit in my display case, can I select which Pins are shown?
Yes, go to your account and select Pins from the header menu. Under Pins you can drag and drop to arrange which of your Pins are shown.
If my membership lapses for any reason, will I lose my pins?

Can I use html in the forums?

Signatures are not available on our forums.
What's a PM?

UPS Airlines Flight 6
UPS Airlines Flight 6 was a cargo flight operated by UPS Airlines. On September 3, 2010, a Boeing 747-400F flying the route between Dubai International Airport and Cologne Bonn Airport developed an in-flight fire, with the fumes and subsequent crash resulting in the death of the two crew members.[2][3] The aircraft had departed Dubai International earlier, but returned after reporting smoke in the cockpit. It was the first fatal air crash for UPS Airlines.[4] The crash caused an examination of safety procedures protecting airliners from cockpit smoke.

Aircraft and crewEdit
The aircraft involved in the accident was a Boeing 747-400F, registered N571UP and was delivered to UPS Airlines in 2007.[5] It had flown for more than 10,000 hours, and had a major inspection performed in June 2010.[6] Before the crash, it was among the newest (#1,393 of 1,418; the 26th from the last)[7] Boeing 747s built before 747-8 series.
The captain was 48-year-old Douglas Lampe of Louisville, Kentucky, and the first officer was 38-year-old Matthew Bell from Sanford, Florida.[8] Both crew members were based in UPS's Anchorage, Alaska pilot base.[9]
Flight 6 departed from Dubai International at 14:53 UTC. At 15:15 the EICAS message FIRE MAIN DK FWD appeared on the upper EICAS display, and the crew reported the fire in the cockpit when the aircraft was around 120 nautical miles (138 mi; 222 km) west-northwest of Dubai. An emergency was declared shortly afterwards.[10] The pilots were under the control of Bahrain's air traffic control (ATC), and they could not initially contact Dubai ATC due to the thick smoke in the cockpit obscuring the radio panel.[11] Although they were offered a diversion to Doha, Qatar,[12] Captain Lampe made the decision to return to Dubai. The thick smoke required the pilots to communicate with nearby planes over VHF to relay messages to Bahrain ATC, as Bell was unable to see the radio through the smoke. The aircraft involved in relaying messages from UPS 6 included three Boeing 737-800s operated by flydubai, and the Dubai Royal Air Wing's own 747-400, callsign Dubai One.
Lampe elected to disengage the autopilot and fly the plane manually. Upon doing so, he discovered that he had no elevator control. The fire had burnt through the protective fire-resistant liner that covered the cargo hold and destroyed the primary flight control system, crippling the 747. At 15:20, Lampe's oxygen mask failed and he relinquished command of the plane to First Officer Bell. Lampe left his seat to get the Emergency Reserve Oxygen System (EROS) oxygen mask, which was stowed behind his seat, but was incapacitated by the acrid smoke and lost consciousness, collapsing to the cockpit floor. It was believed that the fire had also cut off the oxygen supply to the EROS mask, leaving Lampe with no oxygen left to return to the pilot seat and fly the plane. Bell was instructed to land on the airport's runway 12L.[10] The aircraft was too high on the approach and the gear did not extend. The aircraft passed over the airport before making a tight turn. Bell attempted to turn towards Sharjah International Airport but unknowingly turned in the wrong direction. Radar contact was lost shortly thereafter at 15:42 UTC. The aircraft finally slammed into the ground at a shallow angle and at high speed in an unpopulated area between the Emirates Road and Al Ain Highway, barely missing Dubai Silicon Oasis. The right wing hit the ground first and the burning 747 skidded a few meters, and exploded in a fireball, killing Bell instantly.[13] Other than ATC, many initial reports came from pilots working for Emirates who were living in the community.
The National Transportation Safety Board announced that it would dispatch an aviation investigator to assist the United Arab Emirates General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in its investigation of the crash.[14] Boeing offered to send a team to the United Arab Emirates to provide technical assistance in the investigation process.[15]
Following the recovery of the cockpit voice recorder, the GCAA issued a preliminary report on September 5, 2010.[13] On September 7, the authorities discovered the flight data recorder. The government of Bahrain decided to conduct its own investigation into the accident.[16] UPS also sent its own investigation team.[9] The flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder were sent to the United States for analysis by the National Transportation Safety Board on September 10, 2010.[12]
The investigation revived safety concerns about the effects of smoke in the cockpit. The crash also revived concerns over whether smoke hoods should be allowed in the cockpit.[17] Prior to the crash of UPS Flight 6, debate over whether manufacturers and regulators had been doing enough to prevent airborne fires had occurred.[18] Around the time of the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board had asked the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to install automatic fire extinguisher systems in the holds of cargo aircraft. UPS Airlines followed FAA regulations, which stated that pilots should depressurize the main cabin and climb to an altitude of at least 20,000 feet (6,100 m) upon detection of a fire so as to deprive the flames of oxygen.[19]
On September 23, 2010, the GCAA reported that 100% of the material contained in the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder was successfully downloaded by the NTSB and that the data was being analyzed.[20] In October 2010, Boeing announced that fire indication checklists were to be modified to instruct pilots that at least one of the three air conditioning systems must be left in operation in order to prevent excessive smoke accumulation on the flight deck.[21]
On July 24, 2013,[22] the GCAA released the final investigation report. The report indicated that the fire was caused by the autoignition of the contents of a cargo pallet, which contained more than 81,000 lithium type batteries and "other combustible materials".[23]
Captain Lampe's decision to return to Dubai, instead of diverting to Doha, also contributed to the accident, as Doha was closer.[23][clarification needed]
FAA reactionEdit
In October 2010, the FAA issued a Safety Alert for Operators highlighting the fact that the cargo on board Flight 6 contained a large quantity of lithium type batteries.[10] The FAA issued a restriction on the carrying of lithium batteries in bulk on passenger flights.[24]
The crash was featured in the 15th season of Mayday (or Air Crash Investigation) on 11 January 2016. The episode aired on the National Geographic Channel in United Kingdom and the rest of the world and is entitled "Fatal Delivery".

There are so many arthritis herbs that are recommended as a natural pain
reliever for arthritis sufferers that it can be hard for you to tell
exactly what is healthy, effective, and safe.
It can be also difficult to determine exactly why herbs work and how to integrate them into your diet and routine. There are several things you should know about arthritis herbs before beginning any natural supplement, though.
1. Always consult your physician before beginning any natural arthritis herb supplement – no matter how innocuous you may think it is. These herbs can have strong properties that are dangerous when mixed the wrong way – especially if you are taking any over-the-counter or prescription medications (like NSAIDs).
2. Make certain that you are buying your herbal supplements from a reputable retailer. High quality ingredients, dosages, and additional ingredients vary from brand to brand.
3. Always read the label! If you choose an herbal supplement that has more than one component, make sure that you know what the other ingredients are because if there are other herbs, you want to be sure that they are ones you want to take, too.
4. Use caution if you are growing your own arthritis herbs. Gardening can be a very therapeutic remedy for arthritis patients because it can be calming and it is a no-impact activity that allows you to work gently with your hands without stressing joints and muscles.
However, it is impossible to tell the exact content and makeup of herbs you grow. These are great to add as supplements to your diet to improve your arthritis, but may be dangerous if used as a concentrated herbal supplement.
There are four main reasons that herbs work to relieve the symptoms of your arthritis.
The first is that many herbs work as anti-inflammatory supplements. Arthritis is the inflammation of your joints anywhere in your body, particularly in your hands, wrists, shoulders, knees, hips, and ankles.
Some arthritis herbs with anti-inflammatory properties decrease swelling in these joints.
The second is that many herbs can also offer pain relief. These are called analgesic agents.
Still others work as muscle relaxants or antispasmodics.
And lastly, some arthritis herbs can increase circulation which can reduce inflammation.
One herbal property to avoid is diuretics. You do not want to dehydrate your body and joints – this actually adds to swelling.
You want your joints to be as lubricated as possible, and diuretics will have the opposite effect. Reading labels carefully for this property is important because a lot of herbs do work as diuretics.
Green tea and stinging nettle are often suggested as great arthritis herbs for pain relief, but they also have very strong diuretic properties (which is why they are often recommended for weight loss).
Another herbal property to be careful of is stimulation. Many very effective herbs, like ginseng, act as stimulants on the body – the nervous and physical systems.
This can be dangerous for arthritis patients because the increased stimulation can exacerbate the symptoms of joint pain and stiffness.
Angelica – Anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and an analgesic.
Boswellia – Anti-inflammatory.
Feverfew – Anti-inflammatory.
Ginger – Analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
Red pepper or Cayenne pepper – Analgesic.
With care and caution, herbs can bring great relief from your arthritis.

Nicole Kidman is returning to the small screen — but not just for "Big Little Lies" Season 2. The Emmy winner will reteam with "Big Little Lies" scribe David E. Kelley for the new HBO limited series "The Undoing," the network announced.
Based on the book "You Should Have Known" by Jean Hanff Korelitz, the series will follow Grace Sachs (Kidman), a therapist whose life is going swimmingly until, as the title suggests, everything comes undone. Just before her first book is about to be published, someone close to her dies and her husband goes AWOL. As a series of revelations rock her world, she's forced to start over with her son. If "Big Little Lies" didn't have enough intrigue and mystery for you, then this ought to ramp it up.
"David has created another propulsive series with a fascinating, complicated female role at its center," Kidman said in a statement. "I'm excited and honored to continue collaborating with HBO and David E Kelley."
SEE Reese Witherspoon just revealed when 'Big Little Lies' Season 2 begins filming [WATCH]
Added Kelley: "I loved this book. A character driven psychological thriller, I'm excited about the adaptation and thrilled to be able to do it with Nicole and HBO."
Kelley and Kidman will both serve as executive producers, with Kelley writing the whole season, though an episode total has yet to be determined. (Both seasons of "Big Little Lies," penned by Kelley, are seven episodes each.)
It's unclear when we can expect "The Undoing," but production on Season 2 of "Big Little Lies" begins Friday with the entire cast returning. "Big Little Lies" will air next year and surely HBO won't have two Nicole Kidman-David E. Kelley projects going head-to-head at the Emmys, right?
Kidman and Kelley both won Emmys for "Big Little Lies" last year — she for acting and producing, he for producing — as part of the series' eight-trophy haul.

DEVO Crowns Three State Champions
Sol Vista was the site for the 2008 Colorado State Championships this past weekend. Not being a DEVO team race, only 5 racers and 3 coaches took the long drive on and competed for the title. Of the 8, DEVO brought home 3 titles. Alicia Rose Pastore took the junior expert womens by storm and put three minutes on second place to win the championship race. The stacked field included two ladies who competed in the World Championships in Italy earlier this spring. U-14er Sepp Kuss took the holeshot and never looked back, winning the junior sport title by over a minute. Using his natural climbing ability to outclimb his competitors up the gradual 30 min climb and then holding them off on the downhill with his newfound descending skills, Sepp smiled his way across the finish line. Coach Chad Cheeney took the top time of the day winning the Super D championship for a second year in a row. Flatting on his only practice run 20 minutes before the race, former FLC Cycling coach Keith Darner loaned him a fine Yeti steed and he won.
Other DEVO results from the weekend; Chase Orrick 8th jr ex men, Gino Pastore 9th jr ex men, Evan Elliott 11th semi pro dh, Kyle Horn 15th jr ex dh, Annie Cheeney 2nd sport women, and Chad 3rd singlespeed.Read More

Forest engineers discovered the windows of an excavator smashed at the job site. To guard against further vandalism, the road is now gated shut just past the Log Chutes Trailhead.
Although Junction Creek Road is blocked to vehicular traffic at the gate closure, other forest users can travel the road until reaching the construction site. At the construction site, a one-mile section of the road will be impassable to all use until the project is completed.
The temporary closure blocks access to the Animas Overlook, Clear Creek Trailhead, South Fork Trailhead, and Champion Ventures Mine Road until August 8, 2008.
Access to the Logchutes Trail System, lower Colorado Trailhead, and Junction Creek Campground are not affected.

Fort Lewis College Cycling Number 1 in Nation
FLC Cycling is back on top. The team earned the most points of any collegiate cycling team for the 2008 season. Scoring is based on points from mountain bike, road, cyclocross and track national overall placing. The news comes just days after the college "staff" let go superstar coach Rick Crawford, in the name of restructuring the program. The result of the reshuffling has the student cyclists in an uproar and the community is confused by the decision.Read More

A while back, a rather strange anime was released. The Winter of 2016. It appeared to be completely ludicrous, a series based solely on the concept of fanservice. Keijo!!!!!! took the Western world by storm, attracting people at first with the promises of breasts and butts, but then keeping them hooked with sheer lunacy and hilarity. Keijo was perceived as a clever, subversive anime, something not too dissimilar to One Punch Man in regards to how it subverted anime tropes. In the span of 12 episodes, it gained a rather sizable fanbase–some people even started to read the manga!
But then, about a month ago, a travesty was announced: the manga's run in the magazine was ending. Citing lack of popularity in Japan, as well as conflicts with the publisher, the author, Daichi Sorayami, apologized to the fans, and thanked the magazine that allowed him to run the manga.
Man, what a shame.
As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the series, both the anime and manga, I've gotta say, it kinda sucks that it's getting cancelled. Considering this, I thought that it'd be a good idea to just…appreciate what Keijo!!!!!! brought to the table. Here's to one of the strangest series of recent memory!

We all love animals. But to be honest, there's one thing we love even more than our favorite furry companions: Great animal commercials! In fact, one of the reasons we love Super Bowl Sunday so much is because we're usually treated to dozens of creative, funny and touching advertisements with animals as the star!
With Super Bowl 50 creeping upon us, what better time than now to gather a list of the all-time best animal ads? And while we couldn't find any ads with emus, we did see a lot of dogs, horses, pigs, frogs, pandas, goats and even pigeons! From the spots that went viral to the ones that were just too cute to go unmentioned, here's our list of the best animal commercials – and our rankings of who we think did it best in each category. (Spoiler: It wasn't always a Super Bowl star!)
Disagree with our rankings? Think we missed a legendary spot? Let us know!
After a long day at the office, there's nothing like curling up on the couch with a can of Bud Light and one of our furry #BestBuds. While our puppy may not make for a good drinking buddy, he's perfect for helping us nurse the brutal hangover of Super Bowl Monday.
In honor of Fido and Buster and Max, here's a look at the top 5 best dog ads of all time:
Budweiser – Lost Dog (Super Bowl XLIX)
No matter how hard we try, we still can't manage to wash away those tears as we watch Budweiser's Lost Dog commercial. Is it the sappy soundtrack or just the growing bond between the Clydesdale and the baby lab? Whatever it is, this ad scores a solid first place on our list.
Budweiser – Friends are Waiting
Budweiser does it again! Our puppies need us just as much as we need them and, let's just admit it, we wouldn't be able to go one night without them by our sides. In addition to being adorable, this great ad reminds us not to drink and drive. Well done, Bud.
Purina – Puppyhood
Though it never made it to the Super Bowl, here's one ad we definitely have to hand it to. Purina's brilliant Buzzfeed-inspired Puppyhood commercial does a great job in presenting the dynamic "soulmate" relationship between a puppy and its owner, while subtly presenting their brand only after two minutes of capturing our attention. Kudos, Purina.
Suzuki – Carjam Radio Car Show (Super Bowl XLVI)
Furry friends also make for great car-jam buddies. So if you happen to be cruising around town or driving through a massive snowstorm in any of these fancy cars, have your Purina-munching friends tag along on the ride. (Or, you can just pull a Pierce Brosnan and drive a KIA. That works too.)
Volkswagen – Dog Strikes Back (Super Bowl XLVI)
Darth Vader is back and better than ever in this Super Bowl XLVI Volkswagen commercial parody featuring our favorite four legged friend. Is the dog really funnier than the Vader kid? You tell us.
If you love the ranch as much as we do, then you'll definitely love these ads with horses.
OPI – Instinct of Color
You've forgotten to stock up on hay and now find yourself in some major beef with your huge four-legged friend, who just happens to be wearing some really nice nail polish. Since you can't settle it the usual way with an arm wrestle — then let the dance off, begin! (May the best man – or horse – win!)
Budweiser – Clydesdales Brotherhood (Super Bowl XLVII)
Looks like Budweiser couldn't go another Super Bowl without showing their Clydesdales some love. We just had to give the spotlight to these irresistible beauties! Bud always knows how to win over our hearts – and our beer money.
Amazon Prime – Lonely Horse
Amazon brought us this unforgettable NFL playoff commercial this year – starring the cutest pony we ever saw! So good, in fact that we wish they were going for a Big Game ad!
Our first piggy love was Wilbur and ever since then we've been smitten. It only makes sense that these pink and affable little porkers would grace our TV screens two. Here's a look at two of the greatest big commercials:
Vodafone Ireland – Piggy Sue
A touching story of a man who found a piglet and ends up keeping him after he realizes the owner was going to cook him up for dinner. (The only thing you'll catch us cooking for the Super Bowl are these delicious chicken wings!)
Doritos – When Pigs Fly (Super Bowl XLIV)
Have you ever seen a pig fly like the Lava Pup in Clash of Clan's commercial featuring Christoph Waltz? There's a first time for everything. And the next time our kids ask us for Doritos, we'll definitely think twice before turning them down.
Didn't think these croakers would ever win some air time in an ad? Think again! They've sure managed to make their mark in these unforgettable commercials:
Ford Falcon – Banned Frog/Toad Commercial
This compelling ad was banned from being aired, but not because of the bloody (and sad) finale. The commercial was nixed for promoting speeding. Why did Ford choose to make this controversial ad? We have some theories…Check out our scoop on why some of the top brand names create Super Bowl ads that they know will get banned.
Halls – Frog
They say money doesn't grow on trees, but cough drops apparently do! If you're ever looking for a natural way to kill that winter-time cough, then Halls has a solution for you. Just take this frog's word for it! (And they've even managed to make it look as though after one of their cough drops, you'll be as energized as you are after drinking Mtn Dew's Kickstart.)
Budweiser – Frogs (Super Bowl XL)
If you're looking for a bit of musical entertainment, there's nothing more entertaining than a bit of frog-appella to brighten your day.
The sky's the limit in life, but no matter how hard we try, we'll never be as bold and sky-reaching as Butterfinger's #BolderThanBold Super Bowl 50 announcement. (Guss we'll just have to resort to letting the pigeons do the flying, or get a jet packed flying squirrel suit like the one at the end of Acura's Super Bowl 2015 commercial.)
But we digress…. Without further ado, our favorite pigeon ads:
FedEx – Carrier Pigeons (Super Bowl XLII)
If it doesn't take a genius to do our taxes, then it sure as hell shouldn't take a pigeon to carry our mail. FedEx has a better way.
2. Virgin Money – Dancing Pigeon
Meet one pigeon that's showing off his dance moves, but after chugging some Mtn Dew Kickstart, we're over here still trying to perfect our "Powerstance." (Or are at least attempting to dress like Russell Westbrook himself.)
You may have pet one on a childhood trip to the farm or at the least seen one from afar. They're really quite cute, so it's no wonder that advertisers have brought these little bleating friends on board to help promote their products.
Geico – Scapegoat
We all have our days. Some are good. Some may be just outright bad. But one thing's for sure: we're definitely "not us when we're hungry," so we can relate to the star of this ad. Before you start your day (or your goat's), make sure you have a Snickers bar in reach to calm your stresses.
Sprint – Screaming Goat
We're totally looking forward to the Super Bowl, but we're looking forward to the Halftime show even more. In fact, this ad pretty much sums up our reaction when we found out that Beyonce is joining Coldplay at the Super Bowl halftime show.
They're big, they're furry and they're the dalmatians of bears. (Of course they've won our hearts enough to score a spot on our list.)
Kung Fu Panda 2 – We Will Wok You
The Kung Fu Panda crew is always guaranteed to WOK You – at least that was what they promised in their promo ad for Kung Fu Panda 2. Now, in honor of the upcoming release of Kung Fu Panda 3 coinciding with Super Bowl 50, Po is at it again! We can't wait to see the Wix Super Bowl 50 ad, which has Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman and the geniuses at DreamWorks Animation on board to help! This Kung Fu fighting crew has already release their first teaser, and we're super excited to see what they have in store for the big screens at Levi's Stadium!
Panda Express – Talking Panda's!
If you had to choose between munching bamboo or indulging in Beijing beef, which would you pick? By the looks of it, these talking pandas would choose the latter. Sharing is caring, so if you really want to spread the love (and not torment a panda), then make some room at your table.
Panda – Never Say No to a Panda
Looks like there's one Panda in town that woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Whether you're shopping at the supermarket for game day booze or stocking up on Skittles, whatever you do, don't say no to this crazy Panda.
Other Animals
Here's to all those other animals of the jungle! Many of the best commercials feature not one cuddly creature but a whole zoo-full of then. We couldn't leave these epic commercials off the list, so here they are, our top pics for animal ads!
Slack – Animals!
Flying umbrellas? Animals at the office working like humans? This ad almost has the magical appeal of DreamWorks studio behind it…
Slow and steady wins the race! Last year, the battle was on between the tortoise and hare and with a little help from a Mercedes-Benz, you might be surprised to see who makes its way to the finish line first!
Avocados From Mexico – First Draft Ever (Super Bowl XLIX)
What would Avocado From Mexico's "First Draft Ever" look like if there was a remake of it at the Big Game? In honor of last year's Super Bowl, we got an inside peak:
Haven't had enough commercials for one day?
Then here's a fun little Super Bowl commercials quiz to see which commercial you are. (You'd be surprised how much one little ad can tell you about your personality!)

Houston Metro Area, Parks & Outdoor, Tomball
Theis Attaway Park, a Small Nature Center in Tomball, TX
Theis Attaway Park is small when it comes to nature centers. For the fish, birds, squirrels, rabbits and other creatures which reside and/or pass through that four-acre preserve, it is a nice respite from the surrounding housing developments and shopping centers.
Finding it was a bit of a challenge. The easiest way to locate it is to look for the large WalMart store located at 13509 Theis Lane, Tomball, Texas 77375. There is a tiny park hours sign posted on Theis Lane opposite the backside of the large WalMart store. We missed seeing it the first time we drove past.
The larger sign telling people about this nature center is located well inside the park and small parking lot which only holds 8 vehicles at a time. One of the 8 spaces is set aside as a handicap spot.
In case you cannot read the sign above, this is what is posted upon it under HISTORY.
"This Nature Center is constructed on the site of the Fritz Theis Survey. In 1868, Henry Theis, a German immigrant who came to Texas in 1846, paid 254 Mexican silver dollars for 160 acres. This land was purchased from the heirs of C. N. Pilot who obtained the property through a Spanish land grant. In 1934, Henry's son Fritz purchased the land and added 35.11 acres, which includes this site. The deed to this land bears the signature of Miriam (Ma) Ferguson, the first woman governor of Texas. In 1950, Fritz's son A. W. (Allie) Theis and his wife, Thelma (nee Attaway) purchased this property.
The Atascosita Trail, a Spanish-built trail that served as a major trade route for early Texas pioneers, crossed the south portion of the Theis property."
Information on the sign regarding the WET POND reads as follows:
"Around 1952 iron ore was dug from this location for use in widening what is now State Highway 249. The iron ore pits became the family swimming hole. These ponds have been transformed into a wildlife sanctuary for birds and small animals. Aquatic vegetation has been added to supply oxygen and food to support the fish and wildlife population."
Can you spot the little fish in the photo below? The pond was loaded with them!
We also saw people fishing in this pond.
On the sign under the word WILDLIFE this was what was posted:
"Special wildlife islands have been created in the pond to provide a home for migrating birds. By keeping much of the existing woods intact, small mammals such as squirrels, rabbits and foxes may be seen. This also keeps intact existing bird habitats."
The day we happened to visit this nature center there were no migrating birds to be seen. The observation viewing platform is about the size of the playhouse my Dad built when I was a child. Window-like openings offer different views of this small park.
Near the pond and observation viewing platform is a small open air amphitheater. The three tiered stone seats face the wooden stage. I can well imagine many different uses for this amphitheater.
Near the amphitheater is a grassy area perfect for picnics. It is just beyond the hill and to the right of the restrooms in that log cabin-like structure in the photo above.
The dedication plaque on this well structure reads as follows:
Dedicated in Loving Memory of Brother Jim Strong
John 4: 13 & 14 Jesus Answered,
"Everyone Who Drinks This Water Will Be Thirsty Again, But Whoever Drinks The Water I Give Him Will Never Thirst. Indeed, The Water I Give Him Will Become in Him A Spring of Water Welling up To Eternal Life."
Given By: The A. W. "Butch" Theis Jr. Family
The Theis Attaway Park is not one that exercise buffs who wish to walk or jog for miles would seek. The walking trail is only 1/4 mile from start to finish.
The nice thing about the trail is that it is smooth asphalt and quite wide. It would nicely accommodate people in wheelchairs. Much of it goes through heavily wooded areas. Benches are provided at various spots.
Inscribed into the dedication plaque of this Theis Attaway Nature Center is the following:
"The Theis Attaway Nature Center is dedicated in memory of A. W. "Allie" Theis, Sr., in honor of his wife, Thelma (Attaway) Theis, and to the glory of our gracious God – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Allie (Daddy to us) loved the outdoors. He felt that having a patch of land was one of the most important things a man could offer his family and would often say, "Better get some land, because God ain't makin' any more." Land to him provided a place for a home, game to hunt, fields to plant, room for his Brahman cattle to roam and a spot for friends to come together to enjoy some of his good cooking and continual joke telling.
Daddy hoped to always keep this spot (the old fishing and swimming hole, along with land nearby) for family and friends to gather and enjoy nature. Sharing his dream to keep the land, Thelma (Mother) worked at Brautigam's Grocery Store to add to Daddy's constable pay and farm income. Now, Mother gives this land so a piece of Tomball's past and a small part of God's wonders may be preserved. Daddy, a man with big hands and an even bigger heart, would be especially proud that here the legacy of good time among family and friends will continue. This land cherished by six generations of the Theis family now remains for all to enjoy.
Daddy, we know you would love it."
The plaque was signed as follows:
"The children of A. W. "Allie" and Thelma (Attaway) Theis, with special remembrance of our deceased infant brother, Clifford Dale Theis.
A. W. "Butch" Theis Jr.
Mildred "Millie" Theis Martin
Mary Martha Theis Williams
Patricia "Pat" Theis Com
This small park in Tomball is open year round. Professional photographers have used this nature center as a site for taking family photos, graduation photos and the like.
While so much of our Houston metro area keeps being paved over with new land developments, thanks to the Theis family this precious 4 acres of land will remain as it is for generations to come.
If you wish to see a much larger nature preserve in Tomball check out Kleb Woods. It is a beauty as is the Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary in the heart of Houston.
