SHOW DESCRIPTIONS

Tiny Commando

Ed Helms became addicted to radio controlled toys at young age. Upon learning to pilot tiny helicopters, dune buggies, airplanes, boats and even motorcycles, Ed’s backyard suddenly became a miniature Jerry Bruckheimer movie. Always underlying the fun was a delightful fantasy: “What if a little tiny guy was actually piloting this thing?” And thus “Tiny Commando” was hatched. Part action, part comedy, and part insane RC vehicle chase sequence, every episode is a bombastic thrill ride of miniature adrenaline! Produced by Principato-Young Entertainment

We Need Help

A Vuguru production, “We Need Help” takes place in the world of the rich and semi-famous, centering around a common problem: being stuck in a terrible job. Max is a struggling actor and needs work (and just one good showbiz connection wouldn’t hurt). He agrees to take the job of being a personal assistant to actresses and friends Cheryl Hines and Rachael Harris (who created and produced the show and also play versions of themselves in the vein of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”). Needing the money to take classes, eat and pay the rent, he’s willing to do things no 23-year-old man would ever do and still keep his integrity intact. Produced by Principato-Young Entertainment and Steve Carr and directed by Cheryl Hines.

Losing Your Virginity with John Stamos

Each week, John will visit a different celebrity to get the scoop on how it all went down the first time she/he “did it.” Adding to the entertainment, viewers will be treated to humorous recreations using crude animation, stop-motion techniques, and the occasional Barbie Doll and/or sock puppet to help underscore the story. This is more than just a show about how celebrities lost their virginity; it’s about who they were before they were famous; and what insecurities they faced during their teen years. Co-Produced by Warriors Poets & Executive Produced by Morgan Spurlock & John Stamos

Cinema & Spice

“Cinema & Spice” is an interactive cooking show showcasing Julianna Strickland and Natasha Feldman’s mutual love for delicious, healthy foods and fantastic shows and movies. Join them in an exploration of food and film while learning new cooking skills and unique decorating ideas! Produced by Cinema & Spice, LLC

Produced by Yahoo! Studios

Fashion Recipe

“Fashion Recipe” visits a different woman’s closet each week with our celebrity stylist, Brett Alan Nelson, who examines how to get the most from a particular article of clothing (the pencil skirt, the little black dress, a blazer) or a killer accessory (scarves, bracelets, bags). This fast-paced, tip-filled program combines a look at fashion-forward trends with information and advice on how every woman can afford to bring them to life without breaking the bank.

Hair loss is a concern for most people since it affects the person’s personality. People face this problem at an early age due to various reasons like lack of nutrients, hormonal imbalance, accidents and even family history. Hair transplant is increasingly becoming popular as it offers remedy for the hair loss problem.

The Process of Hair Transplant

This treatment is about taking scalp from one area and transferring it to the areas with no hair. This treatment might take several sessions depending upon the area that needs to be covered. The hair transplant gives a natural look since the hair follicles are taken from the person itself. The part from which the hair is taken is termed to be donor site. With time, the hair follicles produce healthy hair and this ensures long term results for the person. The hair transplant surgeons consider the reason of baldness and try to provide a solution which would last for a long time.

Types of Hair Transplant Methods

There are 3 major techniques used for the treatment.

FUSS or Follicular Unit Strip Surgery: Here, the surgeon takes strips of hair follicles along with the skin and then transplant it on the required area. This is a kind of surgery and the donor site takes a little time in healing. The main benefit of going for the treatment is that it is done in one session.

FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction: As the name suggests, here, the follicles are extracted from the donor site. The process takes a few sessions depending on the size of the patch. Also, it does not need any surgery and stitches like other techniques and therefore, is the most popular technique used by surgeons. Another advantage which makes it a better choice is that the recovery is quick. This means that the person starts getting results rapidly.

Scalp Reduction: This method of hair transplant is not usually taken up by surgeons. This rarely used technique involves removing of the scalp of bald area and placing a scalp with hair on it. It is an expensive treatment and needs to be done by highly skilled surgeons.

Choosing the Right One

If a person wants to get the treatment, he must consult an experienced surgeon and know about the right technique for him. All the methods have their own benefits and hence it is better that the surgeon studies the reasons of baldness and then suggest the best treatment. This will ensure good results.

Are We Really What We Eat?

Posted on by

Binge eating, late-night snacking, depression eating, comfort eating, call it whatever you want, these are just excuses for us to grab a bite without giving it any serious thought. Some call it instant gratification. In reality, however, we all are becoming what we eat.

On deeper introspectionThink of the numerous times, when we give in to unhealthy snacking and later think of the effect it is going to have on our system. Now that you know what we are really talking about, does it make sense? Our eating habits does leave a huge impact on our lifestyle. We’d have to say, there is an amount of truth in this adage. Yes, we are what we eat.

We all are aware of the fact that the food we eat not only provides us with nutrition, but also helps with the smooth functioning of the body. From time immemorial, we are made aware of the benefits of having a balanced diet, yet we have comfortably ignored the signs of our deteriorating health. Well, if experts are to be believed, then the results are sure to throw you off balance. For starters, the skin on your body replaces itself every 35 days. What’s even more interesting is the fact that your liver takes about a month to rejuvenate or reconstruct itself. All this is possible only because your organs utilize all that you eat to replace themselves.

Scientifically speakingResearch done at the Nanjing University in China has discovered an increase in the rice micro-RNA in the bloodstream of Chinese subjects. These plant miRNAs make their way into the host system through the process of food intake, and are known to regulate the host physiology by provoking the expression of target genes. To prove the fact that the food we eat has an impact on our lifestyles, a test was conducted on mice. This test revealed that miRNA can alter the LDL cholesterol filtering abilities of the liver in mice.

That apart, by relying on food on the go, we are actually ingesting chemicals, preservatives, artificial food dyes, fertilizers and more poisonous substances into our systems. Pure, organic food, on the other hand, has been sidetracked and so has the nutritional content and good enzymes.

On a rather humorous note, if what we eat determines who we really are, then

A few years down the line, we are all going to look like the hamburgers, fries and the not-so-healthy can of cola. The ‘Eternal’ food fight continues, this time vying for your attention. Each saying, ‘Choose me, Pick me, Eat me…’, what’s your choice?

Well, it’s a known fact that the junk that we so tenderly call food, is the cause of almost all the health problems that we face. Despite the fact that the food we eat contains high levels of the unhealthy stuff, we find ourselves unable to resist these foodstuff.

Looking at the statistics, a majority of the people around the world fall into the obese category. Thanks to the plethora of fast food centers springing up at every corner of the world, the children these days, have never reaped the benefits of healthy snacking. While the food war continues, we all know the result – calories, sugar and fat lead the way.

Our body is akin to a machine which needs fuel to walk, run, play, and perform all the daily chores. Like all machines, our body too needs fuel. And food here becomes the ultimate fuel to refresh, rejuvenate and help the so-called-machine perform at its prime. The ball is in our courts, we become the captain of our body; hence making the right choice is all in our hands. In the most simple words, you have to become a conscious eater. Thus, choosing what you want to become.

While the eternal fight of healthy vs. unhealthy continues, it is up to us to decide whether to eat the food that benefits us or not. After all, it is a little bit of everything that we eat that makes us who we are.
