It's been a while since we dropped in on members of the Wolfe Family who have show-biz career connections from Broadway to circus acrobats.
Former Huntington First Lady Debbie Wolfe posted a few pics from Germany where two daredevil grown ups have a month long contact.
Christmas in Germany sounds postcard picturesque, but this is quite a different gig from our usual work environments. We are in the Rustbelt of Germany (Ruhrgebiet) in Dortmund, a once-thriving steel town not unlike Huntington, trying to reinvent itself as an entertainment and cultural center.
The type of shows Mary and Tyce normally do are glamorous:. Cruise ships, Vegas, Hawaii, California...but they had never done a "real" "traditional" circus. So when an opportunity came up for a short term (30 day) contract with one of Europe's most respected, cutting-edge circuses, they took the plunge...so here we are, in the Rustbelt.
I've posted hundreds of pics of glorious views from other babysitting trips:. Niagara Falls, beautiful beaches, rainbows and probably even a unicorn or two. The scenery here is much different. This is the view from our window. There is an ever-present grayness that permeates this landscape, but on the outskirts of town there is a cluster of huge black and yellow tents rising out of the asphalt...the home of Dortmund's Circus Flic Flac.
Yes...it really is a tent! A tent filled with cutting-edge technology, lights and sound, and a group of the most amazing athletes in the world. As usual, Mary and Tyce are the only Americans...the others come together from Russia, Ukraine, China, South America...it's a mind-blowing melting pot of talent, creativity, languages...with common respect for human potential.

Turner Rolls Out New Tech And Focuses On Analytics To Bring Fans Inside The Minds Of PGA Championship Golfers
By Spencer Klein July 28, 2016
Turner Sports is always in search of new ways to cover the PGA and has some new digital features that are being added to its coverage of the PGA Championship this year. Analytics are continuing to rise in the coverage of golf as fans want to understand the minds of their favorite golfers and how they approach some of the toughest holes in the world. Through the PGA Championship Live mobile app, Turner Sports is providing the full broadcast that gives fans the same opportunity to follow the PGA Championship with no difference between their phone or the TV. Gary Treater, Turner's GM of PGA.com, dedicated some of his time to speak with myself on the enhancements to Turner Sports coverage of the PGA Championship.
Treater shared that analysts will also be able to break down a golfer's game more thoroughly due to the capabilities of Golf Trax. With Golf Trax, there are many features that allow analysts to learn more about a player's performance on certain holes, which gives them a better understanding of how wind and weather is impacting each hole.
Golf Trax allows fans to go on a virtual tour of the course, which entails a 360-degree view of each hole. "They create these virtual hole animations and we're able to overlay data onto the virtual holes. This year we're going to expand that and provide more data and show a split screen of the video as well as provide context for the fans so they can see what's going on and how the players playing the hole and see the shot," said Treater

Treater shared how the driving force behind the additions of the new features to the coverage of golf is data. "We're trying to take data and enhance the storytelling," stated Treater. Bringing data into the fan experience allows fans to have a greater understanding of the way their favorite golfers approach each hole and its results. As part of the Golf Trax coverage of the tournament, Trackman technology is one of the intriguing features that are changing the way fans can follow the golfers. With Trackman technology, fans will be shown the exit velocity, trajectory, speed and altitude of the golf balls up to 30 seconds after being hit.
TNT Total Motion swing analysis will be a part of the coverage as well and provide a camera that in slow motion provides a special point of view to help analyze the swings and specialty shots of golfers. Turner Sports is trying to enhance the coverage of the sport and not simply take away older forms of coverage. "A lot of these new technologies are kind of enhancements and they're not necessarily replacements," said Treater.
Treater emphasized that the key to all of these new digital features is to enhance the fan experience and give them a different perspective and feeling of the PGA Championship. "It's just giving fans a little different experience than what they see on television. We try to immerse the fan into that group and show them everything that's going on," explained Treater.
Mobile apps will also be relied upon heavily for providing coverage to fans. The PGA Championship apps will provide fans with many different features, which include instant updates, breaking news, graphics, photos and the best way to keep up with the tournament by live video. The app will also have resources available for fans that will be on site for the tournament. PGA Championship Live will provide fans with highlights, scoring and group shot displays with laser-generated data to give fans greater insight on a golfer's performance.
Fans that will be on-site for the PGA Championship at the Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey will be able to take advantage of a large amount of content from the app. Course navigation will be available through the app and Smart Bluetooth Beacon Technology will give fans "binoculars" to find their favorite players that will be in the distance. The app will have a player locator so that fans can find and follow their favorite golfers.
The newest feature to the app is Golf Mode. Golf Mode will let fans use the app at their convenience, but not disrupt play with any noises or distractions. "We're basically saying go ahead and use it [phones] the way you would, but use it in such a way that doesn't disrupt the play," stated Treater. The on-site experienced will be topped off with free wifi so that fans can have the greatest enhanced experience through their smart phones.
Social Media will give fans the opportunity to enhance the behind the scenes experience of the tournament. "It continues to evolve and just makes the product even better," stated Treater. There will be a Snap Chat Live Story on Sunday of the tournament to go along with Facebook live and instant highlights on Twitter. Facebook will also use 360 and virtual reality technology to give fans an experience as if they are on the golf course.
The PGA Championship is set up each year for fans to have a great experience outside of simply watching the tournament. "A year of the PGA Championship doesn't go by where we don't have something new that didn't exist the year before to kind of try and use to see if it helps us improve the product," stated Treater.
As the hours are counting down until the tournament tees off, Turner Sports is preparing what seems to be a well balanced opportunity for fans to consume the action across numerous digital mediums with enhanced statistical insights.

Are You Afraid of the Dark Episode 5 - The Tale of the Hungry Hounds
May 21, 2016 Shawn McMahon
You know that bizarre phenomenon where you will go months or even years without watching a certain show, and then when you finally sit down to watch, it's always the same episode every time? Throughout the years, The Tale of the Hungry Hounds was that episode for me when it came to Are You Afraid of the Dark?. I wouldn't see the show for a long stretch of time, I'd see some random channel was running it, get excited, tune in, and find out it was this damn episode again.
It doesn't help that I don't feel this episode is particularly good.
In our campfire opening, the group makes fun of Kiki and….Brunette….because they think they heard an animal (I totally heard it too you guys, don't worry) and then question if they heard an animal. Calling them chickens doesn't really seem fair since they simply asked "hey did you hear an animal" in a calm and collected manner. Had they gone the opposite route and got all "Fuck you hear them wolves?! I pissed my pants and now I'm crying!" then the obnoxious chicken noises would be fitting. Here though, it's a stretch. Oh and Gary is all up his own ass and angry that Kirsten (Clueless TV show girl's actual character name) is late. Also there's further evidence that this group of people actually don't really like one another as Kiki assumes Kirsten late because she's prissy and doesn't want to do any of the work, the work being lighting a match and throwing it into a campfire pit.
Anyway it turns out all these events are related as Kirsten is late because she is walking a hound dog named Elvis, who of course is also the cause of the aforementioned animal noises. Also Asshole kid says "He ain't nothing but a hound dog", further reminding us that it might be ok if he "accidently" were to fall into the fire. I did get a bizarre laugh out of Brunette's random mention that "my dad says Elvis is king" and how literally nobody acknowledges she spoke.
Let's begin our tale!
This is another episode starring a familiar actor before they actually became famous. Here it's Mia Kirshner from The L Word, The Vampire Diaries, and Not Another Teen Movie. She plays our lead Pam, who spends her time going through her attic and trying on old clothes that belonged to her ancestors. She's up there with, Amy, whose shirt is the single best representation of the 90's I have maybe ever seen. The two of them find a locked chest they are unable to open, and then they have to go feed the dogs. Sooooo it's a pretty uneventful opening scene, though we do also learn that Pam looks identical to her deceased Aunt who used to ride horses. That may or may not come heavily into play soon, I don't want to say too much.
We then learn that Pam is a total badass and rides a horse without permission. Or spends time with a horse and maybe rides him? It's not made clear whose horse this is and whether or not they are actually cool with Pam just showing up like this. Either way Pam's Mom conveniently shows up and does not want Pam to have anything to do with horses. So in order to make the situation safer, she slams on her car horn so that the horse gets spooked and rears up, knocking Pam to the ground. The irony seems to be lost on Mom as she chastises Pam for being in a dangerous situation, tells Pam she can't have riding lessons (clearly still haunted by the Aunt's death) and then makes everybody go back home. Good thing Mom was here to prevent something exciting from potentially happening!
Suddenly there's a Ouija board in play, and those always lead to positive situations. The two of them try to talk to some dead people, and the dead people don't take long to respond back, immediately spelling out "LET ME OUT" (I did find it kind of funny that at first Amy pronounces it all as a single word). So right away we know it's related to that locked chest they found in the attic, and if any doubt remained, the very next thing the board spells out is clearly the combination to the lock.
They go back up to the attic, try the numbers, and sure enough the chest opens. The fact that the numbers given to them by a dead person were in fact the numbers needed to open a locked attic chest doesn't upset them nearly as much as it should. They hardly seem fazed at all by it. Inside the chest they find Pam's Aunt's old riding gear. Pam tries on the riding jacket and immediately becomes possessed and time travels, which is exactly the reason I don't ride horses.
A door in the attic opens, leading to a floating staircase placed in the middle of a field outside at night, when it was daytime just minutes before. Amy follows Pam as she zombie walks through the field and a forest, convinced that this is all just Pam fucking with her. That's some pretty intense denial there Amy. Even if the zombie walk were a put on, how do you explain Pam moving the physical location of the attic, defying the laws of physics by creating a suspended staircase, and finally shoving the sun around so that it has suddenly become night? It would absolutely be the world's best prank, but most likely out of her capabilities.
So Amy continues to follow Pam as she wanders through a graveyard. All of the headstones belong to family members and eventually they find the Aunt's grave where Pam picks up a bone and starts talking about a fox who leaves her gifts. Once again, Amy is not nearly as affected by any of these events as any rational human being would be. Any normal person would have either run away or climbed a tree and hid by this point, or at the very least acknowledged that Pam has undeniably been possessed by the spirit of her dead aunt, but Amy seems pretty certain that Pam is just messing around.
Pam tells a story about how on the day of the hunt she saved a fox from her hungry dogs. She chased after the fox on her horse to ensure the hunters didn't get him, and then something spooks her horse, who then throws her off. The whole thing is kind of dull (most everything since they arrived in this place has been) but THEN A GHOST HAPPENS!
An old dead guy shows up and starts telling Pam/Dora (let's call her Pora from now on) that she should have fed the hounds while they were alive and how they were starving and I'm not honestly sure what is happening anymore. He lets out a final bellow of "Why didn't you feed the hounds?!" before making a very weak attempt at chasing after them. I'm reasonably confident they could crawl away from him and he would still never stand a chance of catching them, but they take off running regardless.
They wind up at a barn where they are locked inside by presumably the ghost, who it's revealed was Giles the stable keeper. Amy finally connects that the riding jacket Pam put on is the reason Dora has possessed her. She tries to get the jacket off of her but Pora ain't having it, she is completely set on feeding the hounds. The hounds are in the next room and sound like they are ready to tear them up some humans, so Amy is not overly excited at the prospect of letting them out. She locks Pora in a stable or a cage or something, and then they try to get a suspenseful scene out of Amy trying to locate some kibble to give to the hungry dogs, while Pora breaks her way out of the cage or whatever she is locked up in. Then Amy struggles to carry the kibble over before Pora can open the door to the dog room. I don't want to blow your mind, but it isn't too effective of a scene when it comes to the suspense.
Amy is not successful in her attempt to carry dog food a few feet in a reasonably time and Pora opens the door. Out pour a whole bunch of adorable beagles! How am I supposed to take these guys as a serious threat, they're so cute and awesome! Make them bark all you want, I know they're only barking because they want to catch a Frisbee and just generally be awesome beagles. Anyway they "chase" Amy onto to a stack of hay, then that fox shows up so all the dogs chase off after him and Amy is saved. So the ghost fox rescued her I guess? Amy goes outside the barn where she sees Pora ride off on a horse. She chases after her, goes back up the floating staircase to the attic, and promptly winds up back in her own time period. Pam is no longer possessed by Aunt Dora, but she also doesn't remember a single thing that just happened. It clearly really happened though, as Amy finds a handful of kibble pieces in her pants pocket .The end!
…..the fuck was any of that?! I remembered this not being a very good episode but I didn't remember that it doesn't really make any god damn sense. At the end of the story, Kirsten says the spell has been broken and the Aunt is no longer haunted by the howling of the hungry hounds. But the hounds weren't fed! The door was opened and then they ran past the kibble and chased that fox. Did they eat the fox? What the fuck was that fox's deal anyway? So he was friends with Dora and then she died protecting him, ok. So is that why he saves Amy at the end? Is it a pay it forward situation? Is the fox Haley Joel Osment? Did he really leave her presents? Is he just really smart like the Fantastic Mr. Fox? Why is this Giles guy such an asshole? Couldn't he have just fed the dogs himself? How did he die? Who locked them in the barn? What the fuck do hungry dogs have to do with anything?! What actually spooked her horse? It doesn't sound like the dogs have anything to do with it so why does that matter? Why does any of this help Pam's Mom with the memory of her sister's death? What are you talking about episode?!
So yeah this isn't a good one. The plot doesn't seem to make much sense and the whole thing is quite boring, with the board spelling "LET ME OUT" being the only moment that comes close to being effective. The only creepy thing here is knowing I've seen the main girl naked as an adult. That really gives me the jibblies.
Stay tuned though because oooooo man the next episode is a goodie!

To date, the virus has only apparently been logging the keystrokes of the operators. From the article, I get the impression that it is the operators workstations and not the drones themselves that are the subject of the attack. Wasn't this how computers took over the world in Terminator 3? Or was that Terminator 4? I can never remember.


The U.K. is scheduled to leave the European Union (EU) this Friday, April 12, yet a plan for its exit has not been finalized. U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May is headed to Brussels this week to seek another short Brexit extension; the EU is likely to offer her more time.
Markets have not shown great sensitivity to Brexit developments, but we also note that the two sides could still fail to reach an extension agreement. In that case, global market reactions could be negative.
We retain a neutral view of Developed Market ex-U.S. Equities. The European economies are slowing, but our base case remains that the two sides will find a way to extend the time for the U.K. to decide its course. A smaller risk remains that the two sides may fail to extend the time—which could lead to even more negative results for global financial markets.
Market participants have been taking the latest Brexit developments in their stride despite no clear path forward for the U.K. and only a few days ago until the country's scheduled departure from the EU (Brexit Day). Originally scheduled for March 29, the U.K. received a last minute Brexit extension on March 21 from the EU with the home that U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May's deal (withdrawal agreement and political declaration) would be passed following a third vote, and if not, whether Members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons would finally coalesce around some path forward.
Since the March 21 extension, May's deal was again defeated in a third vote, and U.K. MPs failed to coalesce around a single path forward. Now in a last ditch effort to avoid a no-deal Brexit, the Prime Minister is headed to Brussels this week to ask EU leaders for just a little more time. The reality (and Prime Minister May is likely aware of this) is that another short extension is not on the table. The EU has indicated that it is willing to consider a longer extension—until end-March 202 has been mentioned—provided that 1) the U.K. can satisfy the European Commission that there are initiatives that may break the U.K.'s political deadlock; and 2) the U.K. agrees to put up candidates and participate in European Parliamentary elections May 23-26.
The relatively muted response from financial markets to the developments this week suggests that the consensus view is that May will get some sort of extension and the calamitous effects of a no deal likely will be avoided on Friday. One risk to this view could come from resistance among some EU leadership to granting the U.K. government the sought-after extension. Despite ostensibly hardline rhetoric from such EU players as French President Macron, we believe that along extension to Brexit remains the likeliest near-term outcome. This is because it is the lowest-risk pathway—not just for the U.K., but also for the EU nations that will want to avoid both the appearance of having "pushed out" a member nation and the economic chaos of a "no-deal" Brexit on the eve of the European Parliamentary elections.
Markets have not shown great sensitivity to Brexit developments, but it is important to remember that a chaotic outcome is still possible. Looking into the week ahead, a no-deal Brexit remains a low likelihood event in our view, but this could change if no extension can be negotiated. In that case, the near-term implications for financial markets are likely to be outsized and negative. We would expect a sharp selloff in U.K. risk assets but anticipate a ripple effect of negative market sentiment and heightened market volatility to spread to European and global financial markets in short order.
It is still possible that another extension occurs and that other potential outcomes may arise during the extension period. Assuming she receives a Brexit extension this week, the challenge for Prime Minister May in the weeks ahead will be whether she can balance diminishing political capital and pragmatism to pull together a deal that a simple majority in Commons can agree upon. If May's reserve of political capital again proves depleted, and she gives way to pragmatism, then the additional time could be used to explore other options, including remaining in the EU. Whatever the outcome, we recommend investors remain cautious as this week's extension talks (as with other recent Brexit related developments) will require a wait-and-see approach.

Celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves tames the tresses of A-listers--and those who want to look like them--at his Robertson salon.
Hi! Sign in to let us know how Ken Paves Salon was?

I have been going here for two years now and absolutely love this salon. Sometimes the people can be a bit stuck up, but usually they shower you with compliments and make you feel confident. I was seeing Denise, who I absolutely loved, but recently found out she doesn't work at the salon and was wondering if anyone knows where she went.
I had been going to the same person for my hair forever. And the haircut and color was okay. I was nervous about trying someone new, but it was time. I called for an appointment and was booked with Haley for a highlight and cut. She was awesome!! Haley made me feel very comfortable and put me at ease by not trying to change my look drastically. My hair had started to get really brassy and she was able to get the color back to a natural looking dimensional blonde. She made a few adjustments to my cut and took the time to give me tips on how to change the style with different tools and products. No one has ever taken so much time to make sure I could do it properly. The salon was clean and the other people working there were so nice. Haley was definitely worth it!! I love the Ken Paves Salon!
This place is way overated! My hair cut looks like a mullet! I went in with long layered hair and now, I have a bowl ontop of longer unevenly cut hair! Its gonna take me about 5 to 6 months to grow this out..I didn't have bangs before and I didn't ask for them and I have bangs now..its horrible..I only wanted a trim! Will not go back! Stay away and find someone who knows what there doing seriously horrible!
Worst cut ever! Will not go back! Overrated!

Disappointing result for the cost - uneven cut, even though supposedly expert in "precision" cutting - stylists with attitude, which wouldn't be a problem if they did better work!!!

While Ken Paves is obviously talented it says something about a CEO when all of the people whom worked for Jordan's Enchanted Cottage, which was bought out for over US$500,000 (the lease) by Ken Paves as a "West Coast" salon. A salon that charges US$3-00.00 for a man's haircut. Even disgraced Senator John Edwards did not pay that much. This salon is for the Robertson corridor crowd that wants to experience the euro-trash Hollywood scene. Seeing the quality of Mr. Paves hair cut on a woman whom paid US$900.00, it was not amazing, but decent.
Where did all the great stylists go?
Pros: Feel like a "celebrity"
Cons: Feel like a "celebrity"

I went to this salon for the first time today not knowing what to expect. I was referred to Amber and she did an awesome job w/ my hair. I had straight long hair with some poor bangs, and it was rather dull overall. It needed something, but I didn't know what. Amber made suggestions to help my hair have movement. She is the first hairstylist to get my bangs and layers right!!! She is awesome! That's why she has mad skills. I have been on this endless search and no one can get it right. She totally knows what she is doing, and she is very precise and meticulous. I love my haircut and will go to her again. She is really sweet and friendly. She listens to you very well, and best of all, she confidently gives you suggestions for your hair if you are unsure.

I have struggled to find a good hairstylist for ever. After reading the reviews from Citysearch, I decided to take a 4 hour road trip to Ken Paves Salon. I was nervous, and worried that my investment wouldn't pay off.
My hairstylist wa LISA, and she saved my hair.
I came in to her with so many different cuts, and colors in my hair, it took hours to correct, and even after everyone left the salon for the weekend, she was determined to get my (dead overprocessed) hair looking glamorous, and worked until it was perfect.
She was so kind and listened.
For upscale LA I felt right at home. It is a small salon, but beautifully designed.
Lisa rocks as a stylist, and even more importantly- as a person.
I should also note to that the rest of the staff were very friendly.
I'll drive 4 hours to see LISA again. Totally recommended.
Driving 4 hours to go there again!

If you are looking for the best of the best....You will find it at Ken Paves with Riawn Capri & Nikki Lee. They are masters with their hair extensions.... Ladies, this is worth every penny. You will have flawless super hot hair every day of your life (there is no such thing as a bad hair day when you have these ladies touch your hair and work their magic). If you take care of the extensions, they will last at least 6 months, if your hair grows super fast 5 months then. My personal hair has never been more healthier -- i have had extensions now for about 2 years -- i have been letting mine grow out due to a horrible razor cut my previous hair dresser did on me.
These girls are also both super talented at cutting stylish hairdo's as well as styling your hair.
You will not regret calling and making an appointment.

I've been going to Ken Paves Salon since it opened more than a year ago+ for color and extensions.
I love my color (I'm a brunette and get all over color, no highlights) and LOVE the long extensions (my natural hair falls just below my shoulders), which are super natural and easy to care for. Yes, they are pricey but COME ON it looks amazing and well worth the price. Riawna and Nikki are both miracle workers. They can make any head of hair look fantastic! Trust me- I've seen the before and afters!
My girlfriend wanted a change after she cut her hair to her chin. After 6 months she was tired of her short locks and I suggested she give extensions a try... and Ken Paves Salon. She loves the extensions... they give her more length and more body (her hair is naturally thin).
To sum it up - Wonderful stylists that 100% know and care what they are doing, a gorgeous salon and more often then not a celebrity or two!
by Dessertplease at Citysearch Nov 10 .
I couldn't agree more with Jule79!
I recently went in for extensions with Nikki and walked out feeling like a different person - in the best way possible! She is a total sweetheart and everyone in the salon was accomodating while I was getting worked on. It's a half-day process but the end result looked sensational and 2 months after the extensions were placed in they still look great. Well worth the expense if you are looking for a new do! btw- I'm a dark blond with highlights and the color of the extensions were a perfect match.

After having lived in NY for 8 years and having great, edgy hairstyles, I was worried about finding the right people to do my hair in LA. I met Ken through work, and he set me up with Jordan to cut my hair, and Riawna to color it. Jordan absolutely gives the BEST haircut I have ever had in my life. He is a true artist, who looks at the shape of your face and head, your coloring and your body, and designs the best look for you. And his haircuts grow out so well too - I was still getting compliments after 5 months! He is a beautiful person with incredible life experience, so I enjoy the time with him tremendously. Riawna is also an amazing artist - my color looked incredible - just the perfect amount of beautiful and edgy at the same time. She is a total sweetheart and puts you at ease the second you meet her. Finally, I don't have to tell stylists what I want anymore - I trust them to do whatever they want, and I come out looking my best every time. Anyone who says this salon is stuck-up or not worth the money is so wrong.

Big name-with not so big following. I am a California girl however I have never been crazy about the salons on the west coast, but decided to try this one seeing that Jessica Simpon's hair always looks good. But obviously it is just regaurdless of what Jessica does, she has beautiful hair. I gave this salon a try and quite a let down. Price is never a object, however the service must be worth it. This service was not worth it, and the experiance was not either. Longest 2 hours I ever had to experiance, a waste of money, and your typical over rated hollywood crowd that thinks they are something. NY is the place to be for hair, deefinately not here.

as if you've been there after leaving this salon it's all about being Real! nothing fake about it people!

The best salon ever!! I'm new to L.A. and getting married this summer. I am also pretty picky about my hair and was very apprehensive about finding a new stylist to get my hair wedding-ready. So far, I've had haircuts from Denise and Larry and am blown away by how talented they both are. They were able to give me the gorgeous long layers I have been coveting just by looking at some pictures I brought. I have taken these same pictures to many other salons over the years, and have never even come close to getting a comparable haircut. I have been complimented by just about everyone I know (even strangers!). This haircut truly is something out of a magazine.
In addition to the quality of the haircuts, the salon itself is beautiful and cozy, and I found everyone there to be friendly and positive. It was not stuffy at all. Upon my arrival, I was given a cup of herbal tea and a cozy seat on the patio under the heat lamps. The salon is pricey, but it is worth every penny. Try it and you will be a convert too!

I LOVED this place. i"m pretty picky about my hair, but it was in pretty bad shape when I went in today. Chloe cut and colored it and it looks amazing, and most important, HEALTHY. Staff was friendly, vibe is good, and over all a great salon experience.

My past experiences with salons in LA have been horrific service, cuts, etc... I recently moved to LA and after my third ruined haircut called the Ken Paves Salon after seeing some of the haircuts on the celebrities that the salon did. When I called the salon practically crying the receptionist could not have been nicer and more professional. After listening to my concerns she recommended a stylist called Nikki. I knew I was going on blind faith but at that point I figured I had nothing to lose so I booked the appointment. All I can say is my hair is AMAZING! I can't begin to tell you how nice it is to wake up and have my hair look great all the time. Not only is it easy for me to do but I have gotten so many compliments. Don't walk, run to this salon. True it is expensive but isn't the ease of a great cut and looking fantastic all the time worth it?
Pros: Nice well trained staffed. GREAT HAIRCUTS!

Why Do We Have Compassion
Why Do We Have Compasion
Throughout human existence many have demonstrated compassion and love for fellow humans such that it has been the norm for one human being to show concern for another in spite of the fact that they could be in no way related or even have an interest in such a person. Such people are often labelled as humanitarians and their hearts considered pure and kind to others since they show utmost good faith and other positive virtues. They have accumulated accolades globally for centuries and as a result folklore and narrative have been written about them. It is common knowledge that the likes of Mother Teresa, The Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela and numerous other renown individuals have ascended to such highly regarded positions in society largely due to their kindness of heart demonstrated by selfless acts
If this sample essay on"Why Do We Have Compassion" doesn't help,
Many a kind person have usually found themselves between a rock and a hard place having to offer both emotional and material support even in dire times when they themselves are weak and vulnerable. It is evident that, most people who donate to charity are not as wealthy as one would assume but rather some of them may have even made sacrifices just to make the life of another individual better than it actually was before. Thus begs the question: why would someone go out of their way to show compassion to another individual, what is the source of such a key human emotion, would someone show compassion to a person they consider a threat or an enemy to their interests?
Barbara Lazear Aschers essay titled On Compassion is a well composed piece whose chief aim is to question the reason as to why individuals show compassionate acts. It is written from an observers point of view following certain acts of charity in New York City and attempts to explain why the characters demonstrated certain charitable actions. In the first instance, a mother pushing her young child in a stroller is walking when she comes across a black man in a very horrible looking state. The man has a rugged appearance suggestive of the fact that he is going through a rough patch in his life. The womans first reaction is to grip the stroller then she fidgets in her purse looking for a dollar bill as the man stretches his hand out to receive the dollar bill (Ascher ,1).From this scene it is unclear whether the woman has given the man a dollar as a symbol of her compassion or out of fear that the man would harm her and her baby.
Here Ascher questions the source of compassion, she uses a pathos appeal in her vivid descriptions of the man, the reader is imprinted with a mental picture of a scary looking man who could possibly have made the woman fear for the security of her baby. Ascher goes on to find the source of compassion which she alleges could be as a result of seeing other people endure suffering. Such triggers empathy in another person therefore making them demonstrate compassion to alleviate their pain. Ascher states that were it not for seeing others in pain especially the homeless, many humans would not have learnt the virtue of compassion(Ascher,3).
Shooting An Elephant by George Orwell is an essay about the oppressive British Colonial System and its oppression of the native Indian population in the late 19th century. It is set at a time when Britain is already in control of majority of Indian trading cities and native settlements manages to capture Burma and annex it into its Indian colony. The main character is a young British police officer stationed in the town called Moulmein in lower Burma where he witnesses firsthand the human abuses the British Government in Burma orchestrates on the native population. A characteristic racial based segregation system enables the British take the best jobs and opportunities regardless of merit. There is also a lot of economic exploitation with the colonial masters accumulating most of the wealth and leaving the natives in a state of poverty.
The narrator views the treatment of natives as imperialistic and unfair and would rather have the oppressive system rid of. The narrator realizes the suffering of people he is in no way related to and feels remorse and empathy. Prisoners endure inhuman conditions described as huddled in stinky cages, their faces grey and cowed due to their buttocks scarred by bamboo beatings (Orwell ,1). The young man decides to have a stand against his affiliated home government which has employed him. Suffices to say that, in spite of the fact that the natives jeer him he still takes their side and wishes an end to their suffering.
The author demonstrates that one can have feelings of empathy and compassion towards people with whom they are not related in any way and who can jeopardize some of their interests. A strong realization is that the cruel imperialist system favors the young police officer yet he prefers the abolition of the system all in order to see the Burmese free of suffering.
The source of compassion is not clear-cut but scientists have come up with possible theories to elucidate this. Three key theories to explain is phenomenon have been brought forth:
- As a variation of love or sadness
- As a separate emotional state viewed according to emotional psychology
Due to empathetic distress whereby one feels distressed by the suffering of another person. This theory is based on the fact that people are able to emulate the feelings of people around them and feel the same way. (Hartfield, Cacioppo and Rapson,97).
Therefore, it has been universally accepted in the psychology field that compassion is triggered by about three basic components which are key towards making an individual display an act of charity towards someone in suffering. The criteria that inform such human behavior are that: people view suffering as not self-inflicted, the suffering ought to seem serious and that the person should picture themselves as having the same problem. (Hiadt,854).
In conclusion, I have come to the realization that compassion is an ingrained human emotion that is usually learnt by association with people undergoing suffering and whose key elicitor is the empathy the person feels when they immerse themselves into the situation felt by the sufferer. As a result, the individual goes out of their way to make such a persons life better in spite of the fact that they do not necessarily need have an association or connection whatsoever. The acts exhibited by kind people transverse human variations of age, gender, race and class hence it is common for someone to display compassion even towards people thought to be their enemies by default as was the case with the young British Police officer in Orwells Shooting An Elephant. The human race should therefore encourage the virtue of compassion by teaching about its importance to alleviation of human pain and survival.
