June 25, 2007, will forever be remembered as the day the legend of Chris Benoit came to an abrupt, violent and psychotic end: The pro wrestler beloved by millions was found dead in his home, along with the bodies of his wife, Nancy, and their 7-year-old son, Daniel. He was scheduled to appear on the WWE Vengeance pay-per-view on June 24, where he was to fight CM Punk for the vacant ECW World Championship; he no-showed the event and sent cryptic texts to friends within the company. Police were called, and the Benoit family was discovered dead on June 25.
It's been nine years since this horrific tragedy, and while some people have been able to compartmentalize their feelings for Chris Benoit The Murderer in order to better enjoy Chris Benoit The Pro Wrestler, many more still have trouble separating the two. Chris Jericho, a longtime friend of Benoit's, recently welcomed Sandra Toffoloni, the younger sister of Nancy Benoit, onto his Talk Is Jericho podcast for her first major interview since the double-murder/suicide, and she worked through her feelings over the course of a powerful, emotional 90-minute interview.
In it, Toffoloni, who frequently stayed with the Benoits and was very involved with raising Daniel, discusses the restraining order Nancy had put on Chris two years before her death and the ongoing struggles of their marriage, as well as revealing that Nancy had already planned Chris' post-retirement career: they were to open a wrestling school in Atlanta called Benoit Academy, even going so far as to have T-shirts made. "She was ready for the next move, and I don't think that he was, in his mind, physically or emotionally — he was just really scared, so a lot of that boiled over into their personal life," Toffoloni told Jericho.
Toffoloni spoke of Benoit's "state of perpetual bereavement" following a slew of deaths of people close to him, including Mike "Johnny Grunge" Durham, Victor "Black Cat" Mar, Ray "Big Boss Man" Traylor, Sherri Martel and his best friend, Eddie Guerrero. "He always had this look in his eye that it wasn't so much of 'Who's next?' as it was 'Am I next?'" she recalled, describing "a lot of self-medicating going on in that house … really, really next-level," saying it was a "huge contributing factor to what happened."
She says she is "certain" concussions played a role in Benoit's murderous weekend, but she thinks there is more to it than that:
"It's upsetting because the big push for 'concussion, concussion, this is why he did it because the Chris Benoit we know could never have done this—they want to put it on something so they don't have to blame Chris anymore. But it was a combination of a lot of things. It was just a huge boulder of weight from loss and grief, it was a ton of medication altering his body chemistry and brain chemistry, and possibly, yes, a little bit of brain issue from hitting his head over and over and over. Would it drive someone to murder? I don't know. I can't say definitively yes that's what did it.
"I know there were issues in the house he was having with himself struggling inside with things that are privy to he and I that I wouldn't put on blast for anyone to know, but that coupled with the facts of what I know from being there immediately after that weekend and seeing everything, it wasn't the act of someone with brain damage. It's impossible. I understand the necessity to want to put it on something and say, 'this is why he did it,' because the daily pain of living with not knowing why and not knowing what happened is crippling, for lack of a better term."
Toffoloni goes on to rebuke the idea of Benoit killing his family in a "moment of rage," commenting:
"What a lot of people didn't get to see is how much he and my sister loved one another. If there was a moment of rage on Friday night — and to be clear, it was serious rage. He brutalized my sister. It wasn't just like, 'Maybe I hit her too hard and she hit her head.' He murdered her. Brutally. But when I try to talk about my nephew, it's difficult, because I don't understand it. You think about a murdered child and it's the worst thing ever. But when you think about that murdered child as the one thing you love in life more than anything, because I did, and my sister did, and he did, it's very hard for me to think about what was going on in his head and in his heart to do that. He knew for a fact that had anything ever happened to he or Nancy, I would be there to take care of Daniel, 100 percent. There was no question about that. It would have been a difficult time but he would have had a loving family to take care of him.
"All I can think of is that it was kind of a selfish last act to do that he just — I'm not sure. I can't put a reasoning behind it. He did love Daniel very much, and all I could really think was if Daniel ever saw or found out what [Chris] had done to his mother, that would have broken that child … [Chris] spent two full days in the house with Nancy and Daniel, not alive. Let's be honest: That's weird. That's straight-up weird. There's no justification for that."

A truss rod is crucial to a guitar's structural integrity and tuning stability. The rod, made of tempered steel or carbon fiber, runs the length of the guitar neck from headstock to the body and back, acting as a tension member that counteracts any bending moment applied to the neck by strings. the process is basically the same on both acoustic and electric guitars.
What Is A Guitar Truss Rod?
A truss rod is an adjustable metal rod that runs through the neck of a guitar, binding the neck to the body. The purpose of a truss rod is to counteract any twisting or bending forces that are applied to the neck and body by strings or other objects on the guitar.
How Does A Truss Rod Work On A Guitar?
The truss rod can be tightened or loosened with an adjustment key or allen wrench. Tightening it will increase the neck relief. The truss rod's function is to ensure the neck does not bow or have an issues called a twisted guitar neck and that the guitar stays in tune. It is very important for a guitar to have a properly functioning truss rod in order for it to stay in tune at all times and prevent fret buzz. Many people think that the truss rod only directly affects the tuning of a guitar, but actually this is not so. In fact, it can also be used as an alternate way of adjusting intonation as part of a professional guitar setup.
How To Adjust A Truss Rod
Adjusting the truss rod will be easiest if you can remove the strings. I recommend using a string winder so that you can quickly remove and replace them. It will make things a lot easier for you. Be sure to keep track of where each string goes, as putting them back in is easier if you mark them with tape or a marker where they go through the bridge.
1) Place your guitar on a table with the headstock facing upward.
2) Loosen the strings.
3) Adjust the truss rod. Turn it in to tighten and turn out to loosen. You may need to do this several times so that you get a perfect adjustment, but even a fraction of a turn can cause problems later on. I would recommend only turning it 1/4 turn at a time.
4) Check to see if the neck is straight by placing a level on it and making sure it is horizontal. If not, repeat step 3 until you get a straight neck.
5) Loosen the strings again and lightly stretch them over the bridge of the guitar. The action of stretching will lower their pitch so that you can tune them to standard pitch again (or play with different tunings if you want).
6) Tighten all of the strings at once to tune the guitar. This will allow you to quickly and easily tune the entire instrument without any problems.
After you've made your adjustment, it's important to make sure the neck is straight again by placing a level on it and making sure it is horizontal. If not, repeat step 3 until you get a straight neck.

Which Way To Turn Truss Rod?
- Loosen – turn counter-clockwise
- Tighten – turn clockwise
There are two schools of thought about the direction in which you should turn the truss rod. People who adjust their neck relief before adding new strings tend to tighten the truss rod counterclockwise (as viewed from behind the headstock), while those who move to a new string gauge (usually from a heavier to lighter one) tend to leave their neck relief alone and loosen the truss rod clockwise (also as viewed from behind the headstock).

The underlying process of how neurons control physical movement has puzzled researchers for some time. That's because some neurons, which generate the electrical signals to trigger muscles, tend to fire in seemingly erratic patterns and create opposite motions. So in practice, if you go to kick a soccer ball with your right leg, select nerve cells may transmit impulses that appear as if they are directing your leg to the left.
But Stanford researchers say there is a method to this apparent madness. In a paper (subscription required) recently published in Neuron, they show that these contrarian neurons aren't contrary at all -they just take a different path in accomplishing their goal. An article in yesterday's Stanford Report explains why researchers believe the illogical behavior of neurons could be completely logical:
If you compare the neuron's behavior to a pendulum in a clock, things begin to make sense ... In order to get a pendulum to swing to the right, you first have to pull it to the left. And as a pendulum swings back and forth, it will be moving in different directions at different times, even as all its activity is directed at keeping the proper time.
"It basically comes down to don't think of planning a movement as something that involves creating an explicit blueprint," [lead author of the paper] Mark Churchland, PhD, said. "Think of it as getting your motor system wound up in just the right way so that when you release it, it does just the right thing."
Armed with this new information, researchers are working to determine if the absence of a "blueprint" results in the brain having to determine from scratch how to activate muscles each time you move.

By Zac B. Sarian
During our seminar/forum which we hold every Sunday in our farm, one lady wanted to know what some of the traits that make agri people succeed in their farm projects are.
Hardworking , innovative – Some of the successful agri people we have interviewed are really hardworking and innovative. Jose Madriaga of Tay-ac, Bantay, Ilocos Sur is one of them. He is a high school graduate who has been named Farmer Hero by a big seed company because of his success in growing vegetables and other high-value crops.
Madriaga is really hardworking. He plants his crops throughout the year so that cash flow is non-stop. He can do that because he has water pumps to irrigate his plants whenever necessary. He is so hardworking that he would work even at night irrigating his field. He is also very innovative. For instance, he intercrops his onion with tomato so he can harvest two crops from one parcel at the same time.
He practices relay-cropping so there is continuous production from one area. For instance, when his Maserati shallot is 50 days old, he dibbles corn seeds in appropriate distances on his shallot paddy so that he will have something to harvest not long after he has harvested his onion.
Danilo Baylon
Another fellow who is a hardworking and innovative agri entrepreneur whom we met many years ago is Danilo Baylon of Candaba, Pampanga. He was then a big raiser of ducks and a distributor of feeds for a big feed mill. His is a rags-to-riches story. At a young age, he was a tricycle driver. He was also a security guard for a bus company in Baliuag, Bulacan and also in Manila while he was a working student taking up mechanical engineering course.
At the time of our first meeting, he disclosed that he worked practically 16 hours every day. At 4 o'clock in the morning, he would plot the routes of his trucks delivering feeds. At 7 o'clock, he would bring his young children to school. After that, he would do the rounds visiting his customers.
Smart strategies
Aside from being hardworking, Baylon had smart strategies in his business. He always pays cash for everything that he buys, for instance. Why? So that he can ask for a big discount. He is also very disciplined. He said he never gambles, never drinks, and doesn't womanize.
When we met him at a livestock show several years back, he informed us he was no longer distributing feeds for the feedmill that earlier hired him. That's because he had already put up his own feedmill. He had also become an integrator. That means he had contract growers of broilers. And in 2018, an engineer acquaintance of ours told us he was building a P150-million feedmill for Baylon.
Make it a habit
Some other agri people are successful because they had made a good deed into a habit. Something they would do regularly. We remember Pat Dugan, for instance. He is a long time friend who has been a weekend farmer for many years developing several hectares in Batangas that he bought as undeveloped land. He is an expert in forestry and agriculture and was running some reforestation projects funded by foreign donors.
One day, he attended our Saturday Agri-Kapihan at the defunct Manila Seedling Bank, bringing with him a bag of big ginger rhizomes. He was so excited to tell the attendees about his extra-large gingers. Chicken manure did it!, he announced.
Weekly load of chicken manure
How? Well, as a full time office executive in the city, he visited his farm only on weekends. Every Saturday, on the way to his farm, he would drop by a friend who had a big poultry farm. He would load his pickup truck with 10 sacks of manure, each weighing about 40 kilos. He paid only R20 per bag. When he arrived in the farm, his farm workers would scatter the manure everywhere even if the area is not yet planted. He had made it a habit to buy manure every Saturday for dispersal in his farm.
It was such a doable habit that did not cost much, yet the benefits were unquantifiable. He said that the rhizomes that he brought to the gathering weighed two kilos and came from just one plant. Can you imagine how many tons of manure were spread on his farm because of his habit? More than 20 tons a year! And he did that for several years.
Jackfruit planner
Another weekend farmer came to mind. His name is Leo, who passed by our nursery every payday to buy five latexless jackfruit seedlings. He said he could easily plant the five seedlings when he arrived in his farm. Paying for the five seedlings was light on the pocket. But since he did the same thing every payday, he was able to develop a jackfruit orchard with 120 trees in one year.
He planted everyday
Actually, it was the late Dr. Valeriano C. Calma who first explained to us the beauty of making a good deed into a habit. He was a professor at UP Los Baños who had become famous for having developed a model orchard out of a poor piece of land.
When we interviewed him, what impressed our young mind most was his advice that if you really want to succeed, you have to be systematic and consistent. To develop his farm, when he was just a young instructor with little money, he had to plant every day. He said that early in the morning before going to his class, he would rush to his farm near his home to plant at least one seedling.
If you just plant one fruit tree a day, he explained, at the end of one year, you will have planted 365 trees. If you do that year after year, you will become the owner of a big plantation.
Several years back, we interviewed Jess Domingo in his 100-hectare farm in Alfonso Lista, Ifugao. He used to be a top corporate executive but had to give up his high paying job to engage in his passion for farming at age 55.
Of course, we believed what he said because he had records to show. His record showed that each fattened pig ate P3,500 worth of fermented feeds that he himself formulated, each kilo costing about P10. He also saved a lot from the weanlings he fattened by producing them himself. It cost him only about P700 to produce a weanling for fattening. If he had to buy from outside, the going price at that time was P2,500 each.
There are many things that have to be recorded as part of good management. For instance, if you have a record when the sow is inseminated, you will know the date when it will give birth so you can prepare the things needed during farrowing.
Fun in record keeping
Some hog raisers make their record keeping more fun. For instance, they name their female breeders after celebrities. Thus, they may have sows named Marilyn, Madonna, Sharon, and the like. They record the performance of each breeder so they know which piglets to keep for further breeding.
Record keeping is not only important in livestock production. It is as useful in crop production. One will be able to know which crop is most profitable during the past year, and what could be the reason or reasons behind it. One could have a record of the best buyers, the most reasonable input suppliers, the best performing varieties, and the like.
Oh yes, there are so many things to record in farming. If you have not been making records in your farming operations, better do it now. Right now.
Well, there are so many traits of successful agri people that are worth copying. Many of them are really well-focused on their projects, well disciplined, know how to save and invest their savings that will enhance their farming. Most of all, the successful agri people that we know are quick to adopt the latest technologies.

There is no shortage of websites aiming to help patients connect to share experiences and information about their medical conditions. But with more than half of U.S. adults turning to the Internet for health information, there is probably still room for a few more online health communities.
A newcomer to the space is HealCam, a patient chat service recently launched by medical technology blog Medgadget.
HealCam allows individuals to video chat with others about a range of general health topics including diabetes, depression, cancer and heart disease. Users are not required to register to participate. Details on Medgadget explain how to use HealCam:
The concept is rather simple. If you would like to talk to others with the same condition as yours, go to the site, press start and choose a health category, say diabetes, and you will be connected to a random person with diabetes. When your conversation is over, you press next and you are automatically connected to another person with diabetes. You can talk to as many people as you wish.
Considering recent conversations about the Internet reshaping the doctor-patient relationship, I'm interested to see whether peer-to-peer services such as HealCam will also give patients greater access to health information or lead to misinformation (a noted problem with some social networking sites). Certainly, Medgadget is a good source of news and information and I am eager to see if HealCam's users meet that bar.

S-1409: Greater Integration of Contingent Faculty in the Rutgers Community
Given the ever increasing use of contingent faculty (NTT and PTL) at Rutgers and nationally, consider ways to integrate these faculty fully into the university community. Identify other institutions that have been successful in providing such rights and privileges to their contingent faculty and propose measures to emulate them. In particular, consider ways to afford contingent faculty the security necessary to be more active participants in shared governance, as well as more visible members of the community.

Reversing The 'Brain Drain' In Rural America
NPR Podcast. Affordable real estate. A quieter place to raise a family. Easier access to nature. Polling shows that four out of every five Americans live in an urban area, but if you ask urbanites where they would live, if they had their choice, a lot of them say they'd prefer to live in a rural area.
We explored what happens when city dwellers act on that desire and how rural communities respond to a sudden influx of urbanites. Listen Here

What's that? My blog is turning 4?
This calls for some blue champagne!
Scroll down to Paragraph 3 to learn what's new!
Dear Wildflowers,
Over the past week, you will have noticed an increase in posts. This not a result of any wild rush of inspiration. After a long tussle of thought, I have been making the effort to write daily. This does not mean that I write anything and post it. I am pushing myself creatively. And though I am never completely satisfied with each work (An impossibility), I can at least look at the final piece and say, "Okay."
I have noticed an interesting fact. My earlier work used to take me a matter of minutes to write and upload. I now find myself spending hours at the keyboard, making faces, looking at the dictionary, sipping water, visiting the fridge, and ultimately pressing 'Command-S' when the grey dawn pushes itself through my bedroom window.
As for what's new, I am quite excited about this! (Quick hullo to those wildflowers that scrolled down for the important stuff)
At the time when I first began to save my writings – way back in Grade 6 – I was writing songs. And now, 7 years later, I have a collection of 80+ songs I have never recorded or shared publicly.
For the first time ever, on Wednesday 27 July (That's tomorrow), I will share with the world one of those songs.
I will also be setting up a page, inviting collaboration! Whether it's music, film, or copywriting, if you like my work and you wish to collaborate with me / hire me, you will be able to find my contact details on that page.
And one more thing…
A 'Songs' tab will be replacing the 'Tapestries' tab. Sometime during the next few months, I will begin writing opinion pieces in a new space, on a new platform.
If you want to, you can follow me already at medium.com/@arnavsibal
Owl in a Coffee Cup will remain a creative blog that strives to inspire and provide people with a haven of writing.
And above all, it's here to make happy.

Fashion brand Rodarte returned to New York Fashion Week's runways last night—after several seasons of showing at Paris Fashion Week—with an ethereal spring 2019 collection accessorized with metal body pieces and jewelry that channeled the bold spirit of Art Deco design.
The extraordinary metal works were made by jeweler and metalworker Maggie Schpak, owner and operator of the Studio Art Metal Shop in Glendale, Calif., which has been responsible for some major metal moments in film and TV, including the armor in the Star Trek feature films.
The pieces—which were as much pieces of wearable art as they were jewelry—added edge to the party-girl princess vibes present in Rodarte's latest collection, which took to the runway last night at the New York Marble Cemetery in the East Village.
Models' coifs were styled with plump red and pink roses, the blooms, tucked in and around silver, gold, and bronze metal flowers. Mismatched earrings featuring amorphous, sometimes industrial-rough, shapes dribbled past their shoulders. And the ethereal tulle gowns became even more good witch–like when paired with huge floral (brass?) armbands.

Rodarte, the Los Angeles–based atelier founded in 2005 by sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, will be the subject of a retrospective at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. later this year—and its fashion makes for great museum-viewing.
The brand has always been a hothouse for fashion experimentation. And its fairy tale approach to dressing has been championed and supported by Vogue's Anna Wintour and other fashion heavyweights when sales haven't been stellar.
The atelier's pairing of mega-metal with frothy fabrics painted an intriguing portrait of a woman confident enough to be frivolous. And the show will likely be remembered as serving up the jewelry moments of the fashion season.

consisting of: 'Israeli, Middle Eastern, European, Asian &
American' Jazz musicians in a concert inside the United

The Reality Of Jesus
"That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return."
2 Timothy 1:12 (NLT)
For those of us who have been raised in church, we kind of take Jesus for granted. We've heard about Him our whole lives. We've heard people talk about Him. We've heard ministers preach about Him. Our parents have told us about Him. So we've always thought that He was real.
But how do we know He's real?
We read in Matthew 16:13-17, "When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, 'Who do people say that the Son of Man is?' 'Well,' they replied, 'some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets'. Then he asked them, 'Who do you say I am?' Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God'. Jesus replied, 'You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.'"
Jesus wasn't walking around trying to convince Peter or anyone else that He was the Son of God. He wasn't continually telling people, "I'm the Son of God. I really am, I really, really, really, really am the Son of God!" In essence, Jesus was telling Peter, "I don't care about everyone else's opinion, but I do care about yours. Who do you think I am?"
Knowing that Jesus is the Son of God is more than just being convinced, and more than just being logically persuaded. Jesus told Peter that human logic didn't convince him of this, but the Father revealed it to him. Peter had heard truth and reality from God, and that was something he was never going to forget.
The reality of Jesus must be the basis of our faith. He must be the basis of our Christianity. Anything else that contradicts that living, breathing reality, is false – in the face of all logic, in the face of all blasphemers, in the face of everyone who mocks us and makes fun of us. If we know Jesus is real, nothing else matters.
Father, I recognize you and your son, Jesus. I believe you love me and sent Jesus to die for my sins, and that he was raised to life three days later. I believe that your Holy Spirit lives in me, and I commit my life to living for you.

The Incredible One-Take Prison Fight Scene In 'Daredevil' Isn't Eligible For An Emmy Because It's Too Long
The cancellation of Daredevil was one of the biggest losses for Netflix this year, but at least it went out with a bang. A comic book series that had become synonymous with gripping, backbreaking fight sequences — and started the whole Netflix-Marvel hallway fight trend with its first Oldboy-inspired season 1 fight — Daredevil outdid itself in its third and final season with a rousing 11-minute fight sequence done entirely in one long take. But the reason that the Daredevil prison fight was so amazing may just be its downfall. According to showrunner Erik Oleson, that epic Daredevil prison fight won't be eligible for a stunts Emmy because it's just too damn long.
Long takes are astonishing technical feats even in a big-budget Hollywood movie, so pulling them off in the tight constrictions of television is even more impressive. Doubly impressive: filling that long take with relentlessly tough fight choreography and stunts, while the stakes and the number of injuries only rise. Daredevil has done that three times, and for its third, it delivered its magnum opus: an 11-minute, single-take prison right scene that had fans and critics buzzing for its technical prowess and Charlie Cox's incredible performance — with the help of an insanely talented stunt crew. But sadly, it looks like the team's efforts won't be rewarded by the prestigious Emmy Awards because it's too long to be eligible for the Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Drama Series, Limited Series or Movie award.
"The TV Academy would only allow a three minute clip, so, unfortunately, that epic oner was not eligible to be shown for stunts consideration," showrunner Erik Oleson confirmed on Twitter.
According to TV Line, Emmy rules dictate that stunt coordinators can submit a reel no longer than 3 minutes in length, which immediately excludes the 11 minutes of the Daredevil prison fight scene. The rules are shown below:
Stunt Coordinators are required to submit a reel, not to exceed 3 minutes in length, which may combine the coordinator's stunt sequences from the entire current eligibility year (June 1, 2018 – May 31, 2019) for the series. Stunt Coordinators must only pull clips from the series episodes that they solely coordinated and received Stunt Coordinator credit verifiable by the Producer and contracted as such. Please note: The content of the reel MUST NOT include the prelude to the program/episode (teaser).
This is honestly a huge shame, as the Daredevil fight sequence was an magnificent achievement not just for the show, but for television in general. Unlike the big 3-minute staircase fight, which wove several takes together via hidden cuts and CGI tricks, the season 3 prison riot fight was legitimately done in one long take, with stunt doubles and extras seamlessly weaving in and out of frame. Watch the first part of the fight scene (which is divided in three parts on YouTube because it is long), and mourn the injustice of this rule:

LABOUR's plan to delay the Welsh Election for six months has been blasted as a cynical play for time.
It was announced yesterday that the Welsh Government are working on a bill that could allow the Llywydd to announce a delay to the election, scheduled for next May.
First Minister Mark Drakeford said this scenario had to be considered in view of the on-going coronavirus situation.
But Gwlad leader, Gwyn Wigley Evans said it was rather, another classic example of Welsh Labour looking after their own electoral interests above all else.
'We all know that Labour is in a state of civil war right now, what with the 'Corbyngate' situation' said Mr Evans.
'The very last thing they want is a Welsh election with this open warfare between different Labour factions going on in the background'
'By winter 2021, they hope this civil war will have quietened down. And as there is no election elsewhere by then, they can draft in their footsoldiers from England to help out here'.
He added that there was no justification to delay the election whatsoever, and that it could be challenged by means of a judicial review.
'The contract of the last election was for 4 years, so the same government after next May would not be legal, and would lose all its authority'.
'The people of Wales have the right to deliver their verdict on this government at the properly scheduled time'.
The 2021 Election was shaping up to be the most important election since 1999, with a much wider level of public engagement because of recent events.
It seems ridiculous to suggest that it would be too dangerous to hold an election in summer, where any circulating viruses are at their very weakest.
And even if the coronavirus is still around by then, the social distancing measures that have been part and parcel of our lives for the past 7 months, could just as easily be applied to an election process as well.
And if supermarkets and shops can be open, why on earth can't polling stations, with their limited intake of people at any one time, be open?
With Prime Minister Boris Johnson ramping up his 'union jack on every policy initiative', it seems imperative for the Welsh national interest for this election to proceed, before Johnson's idea gets any real momentum.
Let's hope that Plaid realize this and desist for once from being 'Labour's little helpers' on this issue.

The right way to Take Resveratrol for the Best Outcomes
Any drug you see, any of the "Ask your Doctor" commercials are nothing more than the advertising and marketing of masks which can disguise and subdue symptoms. Analysis is the identification (the naming of) a disease. Hey – naming and then offering some man-made chemical to masks a signs is NOT, in my and many's opinion, the way to handle illness.
This new approach of eating could imply more frequent trips to the market, however eating meals that taste good and is sweet for you is one in all life's joys that shouldn't be missed. When contemporary meals are unimaginable choose frozen products fairly than canned as many canned meals are excessive in salt.

So we did the whole Cannoning thing, Queens town has completely lost the tiny bit of appeal it once had and we were bored. Now apparently when we get bored, we drink. Unfortunately for us, we had befriended some more Irish! They were also bored as their scenic flight had been canceled. All added together makes a bit of a mess, some card games and a big hangover.
Unfortunately for us AGAIN, we had to be up at 6.30 the next morning for our bus to Milford sound. We had a new driver BP (grumpy) but luckily we were still a bit drunk so we made the most of it. We visited a Mirror lake that had no reflection coz it was RAINING so much and hen headed on down through to Milford Sound. Now I was feeling a little…. Worse for wears at this point, so Milford Sound was not all that amazing to me. Pretty enough don't get me wrong. But after all the hype I was a little disappointed.
Luckily that night we went to a sheep shearing farm and ate sausages that I'm not a fan of. It was great fun on the farm but by the end of the day we were knackered and were glad to get into TERRANCE our new best friend, our Tent.
The next day we traveled to Stewart Island by ferry. We love Stewart Island, most people only spend 1 night, we spent 4! It rained the whole time and they had a great pub so I guess we just felt at home! We played chess, lots of pool, pub quiz and walked. The pub quiz was scary, it was run by a big b**** women who seemed to have anger issues. To all of you who have been to my quizzes, I'm sorry if I was ever mean! We were sad to leave Stewart Island, especially as it meant we were on our way to Dunedin.
Now, I know that sounds harsh, but it's not the most exciting place in the world! Speights Brewery tour was good fun though. We were true pros though, we knew it all already and asked the tour guide lots of hard questions. Tan… you would have been proud!! Also, weirdly, on the same tour, there was a girl who was once friends with a very old friend of mines sister! Well she obviously didn't have a clue who I was but hey! At the end of the tour there was loads of free beer! We were allowed to just help ourselves, whoops, tiddled again!
The next day we went back to Queens town, urgh. This time we went juggling by the lake which was FAR more interesting the rest of town. We then left for Christchurch.
Christchurch was ok, same as before really. There was a Buskers Festival one, which Dave loved, of course. We spent a whole day in the main square watching the performers and night watched an amazing aerial show which was so cool, and quite funny to.
From Christchurch to Picton we went through Kiakora again, same as before as well really, only this time the weather was poo, so we were lucky the first time I think.
Then we went to Picton. Now Kerry, one of our best drivers had a very low opinion of Picton, he said his gilrfiend wouldn't even come see him there that night coz it was so rubbish. We however were booked into the Juggler's Rest, one of our favourite hostels so far. When he dropped us off, Kerry came in for a nose and even he was impressed. Fantastic bedding, little booty slippers (no shoes in the house), fresh veg from the garden (donations only) homemade bread and jam, in the morning (free), beautiful garden and of course….. JUGGLING!!!! No sooner had we arrived, than Dave had made new friend Manon (French and so lovely) and was learning new tricks. We made another friend there, Katia, she was a German Goth. Misunderstood by most as being angry, we got on really well and she did us a lot of favours. The greatest being that when we left and were sat in the ferry terminal, she walked all the way down to give us back our camera we'd left. It was a boiling hot day, she wears black head to toe and it was really far!!! So all in all we loved Picton. The owners of the hostel did a fire poi show in the evening, I think even Dave now likes Poi a little better.
The ferry to Wellington was pretty calm and boring. We arrived in Wellington to discover our hostel was opposite the terminal, SCORE. That good feeling didn't last long, turns out its miles away from everything else!!!! We didn't mind too much though. We went to the Leonardo De Vinci expo which was really interesting and the Te Papa museum which was really cool. We spent two days there, its huge! There was the colossal squid, COOL!!
And then we travelled to Taupo, which we all know and love. We had heard that Wince (friend from the days of the skatepark) and her b/f Chris had got engaged since we were last there so we went for their engagement do which was really nice. It was a comfort to actually be involved in people's lives again instead of constantly skirting around with them. On our second day we rented a boat and went round the Lake. Chris and Dave jumped in but me and Wince ain't stupid, we stayed dry and warm!!! We then got a picnic and went to Spa park where there is a point where a HOT stream joins the river, it was AMAZING. We of course could not leave without having a go on the zip line!
That night Wince and Chris very kindly let us stay with them, Terrance is lovely and all, but a little hot and uncomfortable. The next day we went Turangi and played CRAZY GOLF and then went for a really nice walk through the National Park.
The next day we left for Rotorua or Rota Vegas as it is affectionately known! Rotorua is famous for its geothermal activity, IT SSMELLS LIKE EGG!!!!! It was cool enough though. Luckily (we seem to be very lucky!) it was also the location of NZ biggest Reggae festival at the same time, so normally packed, the town was dead! We went and saw the mud pools, the geezer and some Mauri culture stuff. It was all cool, just SO HOT!!!!! I wore my hat though Mum don't worry.
And that's it you'll be pleased to hear! The last month in a rather large Nut Shell!!!!

For this review i'm going over my experience with Kasidie.com - one of my favorite swinger sites where you can find almost everything in terms of the SLS lifestyle. The main catchphrase the owners created for this site is "sexually sociable", which is something they've strived for ever since the website launched in 2006. Sometimes people misspell the name like "cassidy" or "cassidy" because they sound alike, but the correct spelling is 'Kasidie'. No, it does pay homage to a particular person but refers to the entire swingers community on this website.
Joining Kasidie is free and the system only asks for your username, password, email address, and relationship status be that couples, single males, or single females. The couples I have met were interesting, to say the least. Definitely kept me engaged. These were real people like me.
Creating a Profile on Kasidie
We understand that you hold your swingers profile near and dear to your heart. That is why the profile focuses around keeping privacy intact with options, letting you choose what other members will see.
Creating a profile is pretty simple; the system only asks where do you live, birthday, gender - you know, basic stuff. On the next page is a list of rules that all members are required to follow like not uploading photos of yourself with kids in the background, only a landscape showing nature and nothing else, or of your genitals. You need to upload a photo of yourself.
Once you log into the adult swingers network you will see the following sub tabs:
- Mailbox
- Notifications
- Who is Viewing Me
- Rendezvous
- Parties
- Who's Online
- Forums
- Flirts
- Upgrades
- Friends
- Block List
- Statistics
You can customize your profile and describe yourself with preselected checked boxes that say whether you are a wife swapper or not. Input your eye color, hair colors, whether you drink or smoke, and your body type. There are many other identifiable features to check or uncheck in this section.
Swinger Life Style: Interactivity on Kasidie
One thing I like about Kaisidie is all the cool features and tabs. You can find damn near everything:
- Events - Discover various events around major cities in the USA
- Meetups - Do personal or public meetups with other members
- Resorts - Take some vacation time off and attend an entire resort with swinging club parties
We will go into greater detail later about some of these places. One thing you will find on this website is a lot of couples looking for companionship. In fact, there is a Chatroom on the site, but there weren't that many people there, only 4 when I logged on, but at least this group exists.
You can always instant message someone privately from your profile to theirs. Or make posts on Forums if an idea pops in your mind if you want people to comment or just want to touch bases with new members. There are thousands upon thousands of posts, so someone from the community will respond for sure. 🙂
Here are some of the subcategories you can click when you visit the website:
- Roleplaying
- Erotica
- Couples
- Dating
- Wife Swapping
Establish contact with someone and you get a "Sexometer". Once you create an account with a membership you can search through profiles by zip code, certain keywords, etc. Just play around with the system to discover something in the personal ads related to finding swingers near me.
Once the profiles pop up you can see if they are a certified user and what is their play comfort level in terms of trying new things. You can choose the person's sexual preference and orientation. Whether they are a gay swinger or lesbian swinger. If they are drinkers or smokers.
You can choose this stuff based on genders. For example, you can choose to view profiles where the man drinks, but the woman does not. Or the woman is young and the man older.
Swinging Lifestyle-Con - Kasidie Swinging Nudist Clubs
When you click on the Club tab you have so many choices. You can search for specific swinger clubs by country > state > city. The Enhanced Search option gives you an On Premise or Off Premise set of results in case you want to attend a club that meets out in nature, maybe at a nudist beach, or inside a BDSM dungeon.
You can search according to Clubs, Hotel, House Party if you prefer certain locations.
There is an exclusive option to search for invite-only parties or ones open to the public.
See age requirements for certain clubs or the ones who allow single males and/or females.
Choose the style of the club, whether it is Hip, Modern, Contemporary, or Beach.
Is there a play area for BDSM bondage and other things? How clean is the place? You can check those relevant boxes too.
Find clubs that have dance floors or stripper poles. See if smoking is allowed or not. Do they serve alcohol, have food, offer towels for when things get messy, or have lockers to put your clothes when you need to change in another outfit or costume. Are there bathrooms in the place?
Find everything you need to create your own swinging lounge swap party right here on the Kaiside app hookup review.
Extra Fun Tab on Kaiside
If want some extra fun then click on the Extra Fun tab and enjoy those goodies. In this area, you can find places that sell clothes for swinging parties, whether it is club wear or beach wear. Sex stores with toys. Listen to podcasts to learn more about the lifestyle if you are a beginner. Read blogs related to this lifestyle. Find photographers to take your pics or DJs who will host your party.
Kasidie's List of Swinger Parties by Cities
If you scroll to the very bottom of the homepage you will see a section with listings of swinger parties in all the major cities in the United States. Some are Miami, Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, and Salt Lake City; everywhere almost! Moreover, they only have the states for these swinger parties such as Wisconsin, Texas, Illinois, and Colorado.
When you click on the Club tabs you can actually see flyers for the events. Events are divided into Club Events, National Events, and International Events. You can search this section according to the following:
- Events type
- Location
- Time
- Date
- Price (if required)
Most flyers have a few stipulations such as ladies can get in for free or an entry fee. You can also click on the Community Tab to create your own community of swingers by city or style.
Review of Kaiside Memberships
You can get your exclusive "hall pass" to the swinger parties. Kaisidie allows you to try the website for free without paying. If you decide to get a membership then the price would only be $19.95 per month. If you prefer a long-term subscription then you only need to pay $129.95 for the whole year, which seems like the best value. Both options have automatic billing with recurring charges. There are some areas you cannot see unless you become a member.
- Visa
- MasterCard
- Discover
Kasidie Pros
- Great membership price
- Members stay active on this website
- Friendly people
- Mobile experience is pretty good
- Legit
- Strong and loyal SLS community
- Enable Discreet Viewing that blocks out the adult photos and only show the words on the page
- More than 40,000 members
- Real people just like you and I
Kasidie Cons
- Seems like you can't do anything unless you have a paid account
Final Verdict on Kasidie
Kasidie is a great swingers site. I would use it a lot. Great for finding hotwives, bulls, cucks, and couples. Also, the clubs and extras make this website a one-stop-shop for all your swinging needs. It has everything! I hope you enjoyed this swinger site review! Leave a comment if you have more questions or some suggestions about using this site.

Five Fun Ways to Recycle Custom T-Shirts
Custom Printed T-shirts made easy!
Slyvia, the mini-maker from Make magazine's Sylvia's Maker Show demonstrates how to make screen printing easy……. or does she? While I truly admire this little girl and the craft shows she puts together, making custom printed t-shirts at home isn't as easy as she makes it look. However, I want to share this video because it gives a basic idea of how screen printed t-shirts are created. Often customers ask why the cost per t-shirt goes down with and increase in quantity. As our little expert Slyvia demonstrates there is a lot of set up involved to make just one custom printed t-shirt. As such when screen printing it is most cost effective to print more than one custom printed t-shirt at a time. While getting your fingers all dirty and making a big ole mess can be fun creating your custom t-shirt on line is much easier. Using TheShirtPritner.com you can design and order your own custom printed t-shirt in minutes and have it delivered to your door. Hassel and mess free!
Custom Designed T-Shirts to Custom Designed Sleeves
Custom designed t-shirts have a way of making us look and feel good. Many t-shirts get worn and shoved in a drawer never been seen again. Other custom printed t-shirts have provided so much comfort that they have worked themselves into a special place in our heart. We find ourselves frequently running for the comfort of that particular t-shirt until it can't be worn any longer. When that time comes there is still hope. Hello Rewind has found a way of pumping new life into old or new custom designed t-shirts. Send them your old custom printed t-shirt and they will turn it into a handy laptop sleeve.

Step2: Mark your custom printed t-shirt for cutting. This can be easily accomplished by placing the laptop under the t-shirt and trace around the bottom edge with a sharpie.
Step 3: Cut along the lines you have just drawn on your custom designed t-shirt. You can give or take a bit depending on how tight you would like the t-shirt to fit your laptop.
Step 4: Sew the two sides of your t-shirt closed and flip your custom designed t-shirt inside out. You now have a new custom designed laptop sleeve.

Quilt-T Soft
When I open my bottom dresser drawer the story of my life bulges out in various graphics printed on our favorite fabric, cotton. You too have that bottom drawer packed with old T-shits that you know will never be worn again. We would all love the extra space but can't seem to part all the great memories these shirts represent. If you're like me, most of them you couldn't even wear if you really wanted too so why not do something useful with them? Make a quilt!
You can go about turning screen printed t-shirts into quilts one of two ways. There are a couple of websites out there that will do it for you. It seems pretty simple. Clean out that bottom drawer, mail the shirts to the company of your choice, and a short time later vola, you have a new custom quilt in the mail.

No matter which process you use to recycle your old t-shirts you can be sure you will always be able to keep yourself warm with memories.
Get the Most out of Your Next Fundraising Event with Custom Shirt Printing –How you can use TheShirtPrinter.com as a fundraiser
Selling shirts is a great way to fundraiser for sports teams, the local fire or police department, or a school club. T-shirts can be customized to say virtually anything and are something everyone uses. Also, when someone wears a t-shirt that represents a specific organization, it garners bonus publicity for that organization.
What better way is there to increase buzz for your club or team than to have people pay you to become walking billboards?
T-shirts are great because selling them can be one of the most convenient options available if organized properly. Websites like TheShirtPrinter.com, an online custom t-shirt printing store, are great because they offer options specifically designed for t-shirt fundraisers.
It works like this: an organizer sets up an account, makes a profile, designs the t-shirt and sets the price. Then, when people want to buy the shirt, all they have to do is go to the website where there will be an online order form. To see a sample order form click here. With this form, the customer selects their size and style, and pays online. That way the organizer doesn't have to worry about keeping track of money or running out of inventory. TheShirtPrinter.com is paid a base amount per shirt and the difference between this base price and the price that the club or team has set for each shirt sale goes to that particular team or club. Therefore, the organization has control of their profits.


text: From the local to supranational scale, the Covid-19 crisis forced the world to face the question: who should oversee the solutions? Which authority, and on what ground? This question, and the change of paradigm it brought, is an opportunity to debate and reflect on the place of citizens in the decision-making process, especially in places far from power centres, such as rural areas. Examples of citizens' participation in rural areas, from successful and less successful strategies to the place of the public sector at the local and European levels in community-led development, can show the way.

To Heal
means to become Whole
or to Remember your Wholeness.
Michal became interested in Healing Touch when she started looking
outside traditional medicine for her own healing. The old way of thinking
in our society and also in religion is to heal others before we heal ourselves, if then. Part of the Healing Touch curriculum is teaching ways to heal yourself. "What a great idea!"
Healing Touch International, Inc. is sponsored by the American Holistic
Nursing Association. Healing Touch is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on therapy that facilitates bringing balance and harmony into the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. The body starts to relax and open up to its own ability to Self-Heal. Healing Touch is being used more and more to complement traditional healthcare in hospitals and clinics throughout the United States.
In Michal's Journey, she began to notice how her Yoga teaching and practice actually enhanced her practice of Healing, making it easier and more accessible.The Breathwork to calm and center the Body-Mind connection.
The Asanas (poses) to release tension and open up the Chakra system to its own Wholeness. Michal says, "it was fascinating to begin to see and experience the common ground of energy movement and balance between Yoga and Energy Work."
After Michal's Healing Touch certification in 1999, she began practicing Healing privately and in hospitals. Her scope of practice includes heart and kidney disease,lyme disease, lupus, multilple sclerosis, cancer, depression, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and the process of dying. Michal also does remote (long distance healing) for clients in the United States and overseas.
In the spring of 2005, Michal learned a Healing technique called the Amygdala Connection, developed by Bonnie Johnson, CHTP and Marty Rather, CHTP. This changed her Healing and teaching practice. This technique begins to reset the "fight-or-flight" in the amygdala where the "fight-or-flight" originates in the brain. Michal and Dr. Zarren both started using and teaching this technique in their Healing practices. Overtime Michal has adapted this technique and renamed it the Head to Heart Reconnection. Michal currently holds a weekly PTSD clinic at Santa Fe Soul Health and Healing Center using and teaching the Head to Heart Reconnection.
In the fall of 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, Michal was hired by FEMA to do Energy Healing and Yoga with first and second Responders.
Michal's goals for Healing are to learn and to remember to recognize, honor and develop the Infinite Creative Pathways that move within the Self and lead to Wholeness, with respect to family, friends, clients, students and community.
Sessions with Michal are like instant bliss. All worry, stress, tension melt away instantly. To experience her work is nothing short of heaven.
–D. Ceres

Famous NASCAR driver Kurt Busch has a new Girl Friend and this one is not an assassin. As You can see She has an innocent pure look, much improved over the last Girl Friend.
Kurt Busch is accused of domestic violence against His former girl friend, Patrica Driscoll. In His defense He noted that Driscoll is a trained assassin and therefore, it would be impossible for Him to abuse Her. He said that She is a trained killer and has been on covert missions for the U.S. Government. He stated that She once returned home to Him covered in blood. His bus driver confirms Kurt's story so this appears to be fact.

This Summer, Laura was invited to give one of the keynotes in the HCI area at the Symposium for Computational Fabrication. The talk summarizes my ongoing interest in design imagination as it is cultivated through a practice of integrating theory and practice. It then focuses in on smart textiles as a place where this work can be explored in both poetic and productive capacities.
Tag: post-anthropocentric design
This is a first prototype of a vision of a force-fabric. When integrated into a garment, this textile could capture and replay how your body made contact with other bodies in the world. Those bodies may be human, created through the experiences of hugs or holding children, but they may also be of nonhuman forces – heavy winds or couches pressed upon ones back. The concept is to think of ways technology can make us aware of how we are physically supporting and supported by other objects and environmental forces. It sees garments as a interesting surfaces of intersection between self and other.
We created this first textile by double weaving sections of color changing yarn (resistive heating wire painted with a mixture of thermochromic pigments that change at different temperatures) on the front face and then integrating conductive pads on the back or under layer of the fabric. We used a tapestry technique to integrate a second piece of conductive yarn along a segment of the warp above the touchpad such that when it is pressed it completes the circuit. The double weaving structure makes the connective "guts" invisible from the front. Thus, the textile does not invite you to touch and poke it (how would you know where to touch), it simply captures a "picture" of the different press regions.
Collaborative survival is a term coined by anthropologist Anna Tsing to describe how our (human) ability to persist as a species is deeply entangled with and dependent upon the health of a multitude of other species. We (Jen Liu, Daragh Byrne, and Laura Devendorf) wrote a paper that explores how this term inspires design. Specifically, Jen Liu reflects on collaborative survival within the context of designing tools for mushroom foraging. Photo Credit: Jen Liu. More Information: fieldcomputing.org
Published at Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) 2017. This paper describes how the metaphor of the hybrid shapes how we imagine the future of technology. Drawing on feminist technoscience, We propose the alternative metaphor of coproductions to provoke visions for human-technology futures.

A group of 15 international technology and business trade associations is requesting changes to India's privacy bill to enhance privacy protections. In a letter to the Joint Parliamentary Committee, the groups said they are concerned some provisions in the Personal Data Protection Bill would "hamper the country's economic growth" and "in some cases potentially undermine the protection of Indian citizens' privacy." Specific concerns include the bill's data localization requirements, its definition of sensitive personal data, and government access to personal and non-personal data.
