Andrew Stavast | andrew.stavast@lifestylepubs.com

Summer is here.

Road Tripping Begins THE SUMMER SEASON IS HERE. There are very few things in the world that are better than Summer in Minnesota. School is over, trips to the lakes begin and lifelong memories are created with our families. Summer events in Eden Prairie are many, and there is so much to appreciate right here at home. As Eden Prairie residents we live in a city to be proud of and much to be thankful for.

As Publisher, bringing Eden Prairie Lifestyle to town, my goal and that of my teammates was to create a publication that makes residents feel that we belong to them.

That we are all neighbors living in a community of positivity, moving forward with a sense of optimism, taking advantage of all the things that one of America's best places to live has to offer. We are thankful and hope you are also.

One of our favorite annual projects is to highlight particular residents who help define our quality of life. This month we highlight "Men to Know" and "Women of

Serving the Twin Cities Since 1984 From routine to extreme we’ll be there for you!”

For over a quarter century, our veterinarians and staff have formed lasting relationships with clients across the Southwest metro and outlying communities. We provide full-service pet care, from wellness exams and routine surgeries -- such as spays and neuters -- to emergency and advanced, softtissue or orthopedic surgical procedures in dogs, cats, ferrets and other exotic mammals. We are equipped to take on almost any dental procedure, even in compromised patients. We maintain a working relationship with many veterinary specialists across the Twin Cities so we can do what’s best for you and your pet.At PVPH we try to prevent medical

problems from progressing into overnight emergencies. We accomplish this mission by offering extended hours on Monday and Thursday evenings, as well as Saturday mornings. While we prefer appointments, PVPH accepts walk-in visits, too. We prioritize patients according to need, and if we face a true emergency, address it immediately. We work-in emergency clients around scheduled appointments -often in less than 15 minutes. So whether the issue is behavioral or physical, if it’s an acute or chronic condition, an annual or emergency exam; we know each of these scenarios and are prepared to help. From routine to extreme we’ll be there for you!

DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK

The Jaguar I-Pace WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR, THE FUTURE IS HERE

10

Eden Prairie Lifestyle | June 2019

THE JAGUAR I-PACE HAS HAD QUITE A YEAR. In addition to being named European Car of the Year, The I-Pace was recently named the World Car of the Year at the New York Auto Show along with winning Best Design and best Green Car. The I-Pace is a battery electric SUV that delivers incredible performance with Style and Grace synonymous with the Jaguar.

The I-Pace won the competition against vehicles such as the Tesla Model X and the forthcoming Audi E-Tron.

Power in the I-Pace comes from two electric motors, one on each axle, making a total of 394 horsepower that can push the vehicle to 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds. The 90 – kilowatt hours batter delivers an EPA estimated 234-mile range.

The I-Pace can charge from 0-80 percent in 85 minutes using 50-kilowatt DC charging, or 45 minutes using a 100-kilowatt charger. Home charging with an AC wall box (7kW) achieves the same state of charge in 10 hours.

To give the optimum balance between cooling and aerodynamics, Active Vanes open when cooling of the battery is required, but close when not needed to smooth airflow.

The highly efficient heat pump harvests heat from the outside air and electronic components of the vehicle.

DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK

(CON TI N U ED)

FOR I-PACE TO WIN WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR, RAIF SPETH, CEO OF JAGUAR LAND ROVER SAID IN A STATEMENT, "FOR I-PACE TO BE AWARDED WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR GIVES OUR FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC VEHICLE THE ULTIMATE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES."

The I-Pace delivers excellent performance in heavy traffic -using the touchscreen of the I-Pace, you can raise the level of regenerative braking. The corresponding increase in deceleration means that in stop and go traffic; for example, there is far greater control of the car's speed using only the throttle. To maximize range, the I-Pace uses the Enhanced Brake Regeneration system that recuperates almost all braking energy.

Once you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal, the system provides regenerative braking, comfortably slowing the I-Pace while converting the power generated to optimize the battery's range.

The All Wheel Drive I-Pace is designed to deliver all-surface, all-weather drivability. Power and torque response is immediate, and the electric motors can adapt independently to the driver’s inputs, road surface conditions, and available road grip.

The Jaguar I-Pace comes with world leading electric technology embodied in the style expected from the Jaguar line of automobiles.

You can see the Jaguar I-Pace, World Car of the Year at Jaguar Land Rover Minneapolis 8905 Wayzata Blvd, Golden Valley, 612-326-3581, JaguarMinneapolis.com.

It’s finally warm and green in Minnesota - the precious outdoor time to play golf, tennis and neighborhood volleyball or basketball pick-up games. It’s also time that students are training and focusing on improving their athletic and academic skills, looking to improve their scholarship oppor tunities. Whether you are a student, weekend warrior, semi-pro or pro, there’s always room for improvement and fine-tuning your skills - physically and mentally.

Research in neuroscience has shown that the brain cannot distinguish between what is real and what is vividly imagined.

Imaging equipment like FMRI’s, have shown that very similar areas of your brain that process thoughts (“I think I’m moving my finger”), also process the actual doing (“I’m really moving my finger”). A study by Drs. Guang Yue and Kelly Cole looked at two groups over four weeks, one that exercised a finger, and one that imagined exercising the finger. In the end, the group that did the finger exercise had increased strength of 30%. The group that had only imagined exercising the finger had increased strength of 22%!

This is why world class athletes use guided visualization, mindfulness, meditations and self-hypnosis to ‘practice’ their skills off the field or cour t using the most powerful par t of their mind, the subconscious.

Hypnosis is an excellent and efficient tool for improving all kinds of performance skills. Call us today to tap into the best of who you are and the potential of who you can become.

what it is

This popular style is good for many types of hair as long as you have a lot of it. You’ll need length in the front, back and sides generally long enough to at least brush your shoulders.

KEEP IT CLEAN Be sure to keep your sideburns and neckline trimmed even as your hair grows out.

The quiff

+

what it is Closely related to the pompadour, the quiff haircut requires longer hair in the front and shorter hair in the back.

The longer hair in the front is brushed upward and back from the forehead and away from the face. This look can be sleek and shiny for a classic look or texturized and matte for a modern take.

ASK FOR Short sides and a long textured top. Be sure enough hair is left on top to bend back instead of standing straight up.

For styling tips and products great for these styles, visit Birchbox.com.
