Bellroy Note Sleeve Wallet w/ RFID Unboxing + First Impressions/
The Note Sleeve is one of Bellroy's classic wallets, and I was excited to learn they offer a RFID version. Bellroy kindly sent me a wallet to review; opinions are my own. Here are my first impressions of the Note Sleeve.
At first glance, the Bellroy Note Sleeve is sleek, thin, and well designed. There were a few scoff marks right out of the envelope, but that may be because it's a smooth leather and not pebbled like my Tumi wallet.
The Note Sleeve can hold up to eleven cards, plus cash. Bills are stored flat. There is less material than a traditional wallet, which helps create a slim profile.
The pull-tab in the middle of the wallet provides quick-access to the cards stored in the sleeve. There's even a coin pouch in the bill storage area that doubles as a business card protector.
The Note Sleeve is equipped with RFID protection, which is a huge plus. Bellroy wallets also come with a 3-year warranty, so be sure to contact them if you encounter any defects with the product.
Check out the unboxing + first impressions video below:

It's 2018 and tomorrow is our first gathering of the year. There really is something about the New Year that can cause us to assess and reflect upon priorities and goals. This year is no exception for me, especially as it relates to this gathering.
On September 27 of 2015 I gathered friends and strangers to kick-off what I hoped would be a new singing community. I had just returned from the Omega Institute in Rhineback, NY where I had learned about and participated in improvisational singing with 180 other singers under the leadership of Bobby McFerrin. That adventure was transformational for me, not only as a singer but as a human being. I left that time longing to create something similar at home. A place for anyone and everyone with a desire to sing to be able to gather in community and grow. The community would be welcoming and appropriate for both beginners and experienced singers alike, but would ultimately just use singing as a means for gathering and growth.
Since then, we have gathered for eight months out of each year with as many as 25 singers and as few as four. We are routinely diverse in age, gender and race and experience levels vary quite extremely. No matter how many of us or how few, I seem to always walk away with the feeling that the right people were there and the music made was perfectly imperfect. Although I feel pleased with what has emerged, if I'm truly honest, I still long for more and my vision still has room to grow.
In an effort to move further in my intended direction, I'm excited to offer some new opportunities for this community to engage. These are small, but slow and steady wins the race, eh?
First, we will be gathering twice a month. Same time, same place, but more routinely in an effort to create greater continuity. So much of what we do only improves upon repetition, so my hope more routine gathering will help us to create greater bonds and improve our skills.
Second, we will be committing the first hour of every gathering to skill building. Choosing a theme that feels relevant to the improvised singing experience and digging into it more deeply. These will not necessarily be sequential, but all will be relevant. That is to say, if you miss a gathering you won't necessarily find yourself behind, but the more routinely you are able to attend the more rich your tool box for creating. In the future, my hope would be to bring in outside experts to help us expand our palette and create with more diversity as a community.
Finally, my hope is to help engage new leaders from within so as to help take our experience beyond the four walls of my studio. Circle Singing is a method of improvised singing that can truly be used in any group of people. I know this first hand through our gatherings, my company VOXUS, and as a participant. It can quickly and profoundly take individuals and groups into a transcendent experience of themselves and their voice. Further, it taps into what connects us to greater humanity. That's why it is my goal to "spread the gospel," so to speak. I believe it matters.
So, will you join me? I need your help in fulfilling this vision. Really, all you have to do is show up with an open heart and sing. I'll take care of the rest... at first. :)

On The Road Again/
We are off again..This time to warmer Climes in the Caribbean. We brought our departure forward by 2 days as we had a good weather window.
We left in Quiet conditions at Sunset yesterday Saturday the 12th. On the way out we adjusted and calibrated all the serviced equipment until we were happy. Then in a spectacular Moonlit evening (They say the Brightest moon since 1948) head South at 13 knots for the Gulfstream. It was cold at 3c but our Bridge Awning kept us warm. Took a while to adjust to the rolling motion of a boat underway. So maybe not too much sleep.

Yesterday I had the day off from work and along with 3 different quilting buddies we went off to go to the Design By Me truthful at Lillestrøm. The comments and opinions on this Rankings and Critiques part of our web site are the views and opinions of TripAdvisor members and AppleVacations.passengers. Please note: Don't use the wooden stove on this room. Whereas the general public is just now studying the small print of his Caribbean vacation, these particulars, and the pink flags they raised, would have been well known to the PMO weeks in the past – long before the boss packed his luggage.
Nice property and great location (except you might be looking for extreme privateness with completely no visitors noise). Dive deep into a romantic retreat at Secrets and techniques Resorts & Spas, where adults escape the on a regular basis amid the natural attract of the Caribbean.
Sheep far outnumber people, and those who have made the wildflower-carpeted island residence are the kind of characters who would have impressed Robert Burns. So moderately than treating vacations as large, annual occasions which are fully separate from our working lives, taking shorter but more frequent holidays each few months might provide larger ranges of recovery.
Room look identical to room we booked on-line so thought she did not improve us why misinform us. Next to last day they called that we did not come and get our $200 worth of coupons. The most effective family vacations have each member of the household attempting a brand new activity, and the Rockies are the right place to carry on the journey.
The house is not remoted as there are a couple of others next to it, however it's the furthest property up a small valley from the street. Bring water footwear if you wish to go within the ocean. Keep on the beachfront Mourouk Ebony Hotel (011-230/832-3351; ; doubles from $205), with 34 Creole-model rooms.

Picture it and write: Trapped
by joetwo
Hi everybody! This is my offering for this weeks picture it and write for Ermilia's blog here. The picture is not mine, I just use it for inspiration. Anyway, enjoy!
Jim had been over half an hour looking for his sister but he was not worried, not yet, she did this kind of thing all of the time. She had always been a little 'special' had Susan, always different. But recently she had started acting strangely, even for her. Disappearing into the grounds, hiding for hours, people were starting to worry. She was starting to get at the end of everyone's tether, even Jim's. But she was his sister, he had to find her, again.
Jim had spent a lot of time with the game keeper between shoots with his father and his guests. The old man had taught Jim a little bush-craft, like how to track game. He had found that this had come in very handy these last few weeks. He caught Susan's trail, those small tightly spaced foot prints were distinctive, heading in the direction of the river bank. Following the line of steps, he noted how it wavered and twisted, as if the walker was in a daze. This was definitely her. Keeping his eyes on the tracks, Jim almost failed to notice that he was heading for the briar patch by the river. It was kept deliberately wild, as a haven for the wildlife Jim's father and his friends hunted. Neither Jim or Susan were allowed in there. There would be hell to pay if they were found there.
To Jim's relief, he saw that the tracks curved away from the briars and around them. But his relief was short-lived when he realised that the footprints instead were going around the briars and down to the river. If she had been in the water for as long as she was missing, she could be dead. Jim raced to the bank and looked down, fearing the worse he looked down. But all was not lost, in the mud were some more tracks, going into the thorny tangle.
Jim carefully lowered himself into the soft mud and stepped to as close to the thorny vines and he dared. The sky was overcast and with the shading from the forest behind there was not enough light to see. But there was someone there, there was the sound of breathing, and stifled sniggering from amongst the thorns.
"Suzy. Is that you?" Jim asked, hoping his sister would end this charade. A dirty arm came out from the branches, "Suzy's not home" said a thin reedy voice, Susan, definitely, "But Charlotte's here!"
Jim did not like the sound of that 'Charlotte' was what Susan would say who did anything bad that she had done, like killing that kitten. Charlotte usually meant bad news. "Suzy!" Jim used his big-boy voice, "You should get out here and come home with me!" The voice from the briar patch sounded indignant "Stupid Jimmy should know when not to give orders" the dirty arm extended a finger that wagged in front of Jim's face then withdrew quickly into the thorns before he could grab it.
Jim had enough of this "Suzy, don't do this! I'm going to go and tell father" But as he stood there was a scream from the briar that stopped him cold. It was weak, as if it had been struggling and a voice, more like the sister Jim knew called out "Don't leave me Jimmy, please don't leave. Charlotte says that if you go She'll do something to me, something horrible" Jim could hardly believe his ears "Suzy what are you talking about?" The voice changed again "You should listen to your sister Jimmy. She's on to something!" Then back "Please don't Jimmy! Please! I don't want her to hurt me again"
That stopped Jim, he remembered when 'Charlotte' was blamed for those cuts on Susan's arms. He sat down on the muddy bank and said he would stay. His sister's voice sounded relieved, the other triumphant "I knew you'd be weak, stick with helping you sister. Pathetic."
Jim tried to speak calmly, maybe he could convince his sister to come out one her own volition. "Stay with me Suzy. Everything will be alright. You might feel trapped, but we'll, all of us who love you will help to get you out"
"I feel trapped?" the voice, definitely 'Charlotte', sounded even colder than usual "I'm not trapped at all, I can leave here whenever I choose, if I choose. Can you Jimmy? How does it feel, Jimmy? How does if feel… to be trapped?"

It's been raining leaves here for the past few days, but the weather has been beautiful! Sunny, slight breeze, low humidity, and in the mid to upper 70's. It's supposed to start raining tonight and temperatures cooling down a bit.
This is our first year in Alabama, so I don't know what the winters are like. I'm just enjoying the beautiful weather right now!
Becky, it is down to 36 degrees as I type..I'm not ready for dark, dreary..and snow...ugh
Hello Becky, thanks for visiting my blog..Stitch and Sow. I'd thought I'd come see what you're up to and say hello.
I love your blog header picture, beautiful blossoms, and it looks so peaceful. I'm going to have a look around and see what sort of things you do.
It's a good reminder, watching you leaving summer as we go into it. On those bad days, we can always remember that it is a beautiful day somewhere in the world.ReplyDelete

A Redeemed Church Pastor, Toyin Ogundipe invited Fuji star, Wasiu Pasuma to perform at their 3 days outdoor crusade titled "Lagos Island Family Areas Forum" between Friday, October 23rd-Sunday 25th,2015 and payment has been done. So now that the program has been canceled, The Fuji star felt there's need for him to explain incase they intend to ask for the artiste's fee
In his words; although, the church's management paid for the show, it is never done to expect mr to pay back the "artiste fee", "the fault is not ours, we were ready to perform for them until we learnt of the cancelation of the crusade".
Pasuma's picture appeared on the handbill advert and posters alongside gospel singer, Tope Alabi and a former band leader of the late Fela Anikulapo's Egypt 80 band, Kereke Jike.
The decision to stop the programme was because the church headquarters felt the Pastor had gone too far by inviting a secular artiste such as Pasuma to its church programme.
A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the organisers did not do a detailed consultation before going ahead with the programme. He also said that it was as a result of it that the programme was cancelled and the Pastor in charge of the church along with the organising committee suspended as they now await further sanction from the provisional headquarters for dragging the name of the church in the mud.
Investigations by City People reveals that The Redeemed Christian Church of God clearly frowns at the use of secular musicians, a development which has been clearly stated in its handbook to Pastors.
*This is rather funny. Even the combination of artistes shows Pasuma wasn't needed. Shey after Tope Alabi don sing on God, Pasuma will sing on what? This is one chance and do you guys think Pasuma should pay back the artistes fee???

The Mistake Lucious Keeps Making On 'Empire' Will Be His Downfall
Lucious Lyon is one of the more complicated characters on primetime television, and definitely the most loathsome. Actually, he's the worst character, morally, that I can think of. Sure, he had a traumatic childhood — his mother suffered from bipolar disorder, and let's just say things were less than stable — but he now has a family of his own. You would think that would have calmed him down. Not the case. Frequently disappointed by his own sons, Lucious Lyon attempts to find surrogate children on Empire , and his attempts to do so are so misguided.
His sons — Andre, Jamal, and Hakeem — haven't lived up to his expectations. Andre has bipolar disorder, so Lucious thinks him too similar to his own mother and hates him as a result. Jamal is gay, and Lucious still feels that being homosexual is a choice, and that Jamal has made the wrong one. Hakeem is the most like Lucious, but Lucious doesn't like that; Hakeem is too independent and too headstrong to listen to everything that his father says. All of Lucious' sons have planned a takedown of their father at one point or another (wonder why, Lucious), and, because of that, Lucious keeps trying to make another child in his image.
He tried it with Freda Gatz, who he dropped when she tried to kill him after finding out he killed her father. (Did I mention that Freda is still in jail and Lucious won't do anything about it, even though it's his fault?) In "What Remains is Bestial," Lucious attempted to recruit a young MC into a record deal. Luckily, Cookie stepped in and told this "WOKE" member to go to college, and that rapping would always be there. Cookie saved that boy's life from the "devil," as she rightfully calls Lucious.
Why cant he just be happy with the sons that he has? He thinks they're different, and that he raised them wrong. Lucious even goes so far as to take them back to their old neighborhood to prove how "soft" they are now. But what he doesn't understand is that his sons don't want to be "hard" like their father. They don't have to be. They have money and status, because Lucious and Cookie worked to give them a better life. And, considering Lucious definition of "hard" appears to mean willing to murder people when the feds are already circling them, it seems less like being tough and more like being stupid.
Lucious is stuck between two worlds, and that's what makes him act the way he does. He wants the street cred of his old world while still having the money of his new world, and he doesn't understand that you can't have both. His sons don't want or need both. They don't need to be on the street because their parents built a better world for them, and the fact that Lucious keeps trying to drag them backward instead of letting them move forward is the source of a lot of their problems on the show.
He doesn't get that he made his bed, and now he has to lie in it. The sooner Lucious accepts that it's OK to live for the present and the future instead of constantly trying to regress into old bad habits — let alone abandon your sons when they refuse to move backward with you — the happier we'll all be.

Facial Acupuncture for Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain
Guest post written by Terry Fox, Licensed Acupuncturist at Zi Zai Dermatology.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. If you suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia, you know exactly how painful it can feel. But, for those who've never experienced it, this is what others have to cope with:
Trigeminal neuralgia symptoms may include one or more of these patterns: (according to the Mayo Clinic)
- Episodes of severe, shooting or jabbing pain that may feel like an electric shock
- Spontaneous attacks of pain
- Attacks triggered by simple daily activities such as touching the face, chewing, speaking or brushing teeth
- Bouts of pain lasting from a few seconds to several minutes
- Episodes of several attacks lasting days, weeks, months or longer — some people have periods when they experience no pain
- Constant aching, burning feeling that may occur before it evolves into the spasm-like pain
- Pain in areas supplied by the trigeminal nerve, including the cheek, jaw, teeth, gums, lips, or less often the eye and forehead
- Pain affecting one side of the face at a time, though may rarely affect both sides of the face
- Pain focused in one spot or spread in a wider pattern
- Attacks that become more frequent and intense over time
When you're in that kind of excruciating pain, it's no wonder that trigeminal neuralgia has been called "The Suicide Disease." Modern biomedical interventions for trigeminal neuralgia involve the use of anticonvulsant and antispasmodic drugs, and/or surgery that damages the nerve so that it no longer functions. The drugs often have side effects like dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, and nausea. And of course, surgery can stop the pain, but in trade, your face becomes permanently numb. Frankly, many people who suffer with trigeminal neuralgia are so desperate to get out of pain, they're completely willing to deal with the pharmaceutical and surgical risks. Luckily, acupuncture has been shown to provide relief.
As you can see from the illustration here, one of the major acupuncture channels on the body, Leg Yang Ming Stomach Channel, runs in a similar fashion to the Trigeminal Nerve.
Facial acupuncture can significantly reduce trigeminal neuralgia pain and is a safer treatment option. The risks and side effects of Facial Acupuncture are minimal compared to drugs or surgery – typically only minor bruising at the site of needle insertion. But even that can be minimized when you have well-trained licensed acupuncturist performing the treatment.
Below are links to studies showing the effectiveness of Acupuncture in reducing Trigeminal Neuralgia pain:
Do you suffer with trigeminal neuralgia pain, or know someone who does? Before resorting to drugs and/or permanent destruction of your trigeminal nerve, consider facial acupuncture. It can free you from the debilitating pain without the dangerous side effects of drugs and or unnecessary permanent facial numbness.

Giving the customers lots of love
While we were going through the tickets on JIRA last week, Syed told me that 272 early-stage companies have thrown their names into the hat for TechCrunch's Startup Battlefield... I would like us to make it into the top 15 in Australia, but only because I want Syed and the team to be happy. Syed is so excited about this!
Regardless of whether we are going to be pitching on stage, I think VIVA is an awesome product.
My childhood years as a boy scout have taught me to always plan for the worst (to be exact, it was "traffic patrol" - it's a weird thing that exists only in Hong Kong - we were trained to control traffic for safety. The training involved matching in goosestep and holding one end of a rope to cordon off half the street to form a makeshift footpath for school kids departing for home. We were the height of military childhood fashion with our navy shirts, white pants and a fluorescent yellow belt-sashes). So, I always have contingency plans for contingency plans.
The most important thing to me is to create the best possible product.
Creating the best possible product requires us to mix the perfect cocktail of content, channel and customer service:
Maybe then, we will have a shot at success (with or without TechCrunch).
This is why I spend my evenings writing and refining the external-facing documents that live on this website and the internal-facing documents that live on our Google Drive.
To show our event organisers a lot of love, Alan, Nicola and I spent the last week putting together our first quarterly newsletter. We want them to share in our joy and delight. The newsletter is due to be sent on Thursday this week, subject to completing one function on our web content management portal.
We plan to follow up the newsletter with a Christmas present that will show them how much we love them - I am designing the present, but it has only gotten as far as whiteboard sketches at the moment.
Pepper Paprika Pineapple Prawns
Syed and I are beginning to form a habit of meeting in the Westfield Shopping Mall in Parramatta. I wish we knew somewhere in Parramatta better than a shopping mall. Matty B showed me a nice cafe a few months ago which wasn't too far from the station, and I had meant to message him about that cafe, but it always felt easier to just roam around the shopping mall to find a place with a spare table.
We acted like excited children today because we submitted our entry into the TechCrunch Battlefield. We know we are up against hundreds of other applicants and there is no guarantee we will make it into the shortlist, but we were high fiving and fist bumping at the prospects of pitching on stage.
Dial it back, dial it back. You are in the top 5 percentile of the nerdiest people at this Starbucks.
If VIVA doesn't work out, I have decided to open a novelty restaurant where every menu item will be an alliteration or a rhyme, and customers will have to say the name three times very quickly to order that item.
"I would like to order a pepper paprika pineapple prawns pepper paprika pineapple prawns pepper paprika pineapple prawns."
"Excellent choice, sir. What would you like for your main?"
"Chilli chicken crusted kraken?"
"Would you like to order one, sir?"
"Yes please."
"You will need to say it three times quickly sir."
"Chilli chicken crusted kraken chilli chicken crusted kraken chilli chicken crusted kraken."
"Excellent sir. And for dessert?"
The restaurant will be called Shelly Sells Seashells By The Seashore.
I will change my name to Shelly.
Alan has been gently prompting me for weeks now that I need to start working on our VC pitch deck. This has come a lot earlier than I expected.
When I resigned from the firm to take on VIVA full time, I had thought that we would run a full year before we would start talking to VCs - because that is what I would want if I were a VC - show me what you can do, don't tell me what you can do. I wanted to score some runs on the board, win adoring fans, and then ask for a little capital injection to scale up the business. Alan, being a business genius, managed to pique the interest of investors about two months ago. Ever since then, my to-do list has had the bullet point - "prepare VC pitch deck".
Today is the day... that I start.
Sure... I would rather be back at the King Street Crawl with Neal and Reece sipping schooners of beers... but I suspect Alan will kill me if I don't finish the first draft this week.
Meanwhile, we submitted our TechCrunch application this morning. I am still unsure if it was the wisest move, but it's TOO LATE! There is no backsies!
I want to share our 2 minute product demo. I am ashamed to admit took more than 2 hours to script and film this demo video - but I managed to capture something viable on take number 23 (filming this demo video reminds me of a fantastically funny Reddit thread from a few years ago about how someone took a photo of both their hands).

Speaking at a grand ceremony held at CCM grounds in Monduli town in Arusha region, Lowassa left his audience guessing as he chose his words carefully, leaving out politics which has been bread and butter for his entire adult life.
The veteran politician avoided Monduli Constituency politics even as 2020 elections are just about a year away, instead sticking to other issues in a speech he read to a well-attended meeting.
"I don't want to be misquoted by the press, so I will choose my words carefully and speak very little; I just want to say that I'm back home after an inspection tour of the opposition camp," Lowassa said to rousing applause.
Lowassa served as Member of Parliament for Monduli for 25 years, from 1990 all the way to 2015, before ditching CCM and joining CHADEMA through which he ran for the presidency under the new constitution campaign front, Ukawa and lost to CCM candidate Dr John Magufuli.
Julius Kalanga took over the Monduli Constituency in the 2015 General Election, then running under the opposition CHADEMA party, but last year he ditched the opposition and rejoined CCM, which allowed him like scores of others, to defend his seat under the CCM ticket.
But now the 'King has Returned' back to the fold and the question which lingered during the pomp and fanfare of welcoming him to Monduli, was whether Lowassa will consider running again to become Monduli MP as the 2020 polls loom closer.
He carefully avoided the subject insisting that what was important was "returning home where he belongs, in the first place. The rest is irrelevant."
CCM spokesman Humphrey Polepole described the former premier's decision to return to the ruling party after three years in the opposition as a brave one which also goes to show that politics in the country was mature enough to enable people to freely choose where they want to be, and when.
The CCM regional chairman for Arusha Region, Loata ole Sanare said the party was happy to receive back Lowassa because he used to be an important component in the region's political scene.

How To Cook Black Beans | 24 Seconds In The Kitchen
One of my favourite staples to add to meals, enjoy with curry and pop in a salad has to be black beans. I really love the taste and texture and find them to be very filling and a great alternative to rice or pasta.
Here is a very short (24 seconds in fact!) video on how I prepare mine. If you wanted to make a salad you could then add salad ingredients in afterwards. I just like to keep a tupperware in the fridge with some ready made to add to meals when I'm in a rush.
Black Bean Ingredients:
- Dried black beans
- Salt and pepper
- Apple cider vinegar
Soak the beans in a bowl ovenight, drain and rinse. Pop in a saucepan with water covering them and boil for around two hours. (I know, reaaaally long time but they are worth it!) You may find that you need to top the water up. Once cooked drain and add a dash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy! :)

Have you ever wanted to be a furry animal and fuck other furry animals? Who hasn't, right? Yiffalicious makes it possible for you to experience just that with the amazing capabilities of your VR headset! Email me.
- VRPornSites
- 3D Animated Porn
- Yiffalicious
- Free!
- Detailed in-game help tab
- Large amount of community-created content
- Not compatible with 6Dof controllers yet
- Can't play with smartphone-based headsets
This furry sex game is definitely a little unpolished, but the creators are continuously updating it. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a beta version, but rather an early-access alpha version. Meanwhile, the game does look awesome and is fun to play, plus it's free, so you really have nothing to lose. I'd definitely try it out if I were you!
My Full Yiffalicious Review
Like to Yiff?
Hey, who remembers that Fergie track "Fergalicious" back in '06? Well, this 3D animated porn game has absolutely nothing to do with it, except for the fact that their names both end in -licious. So then, what is is a yiff? Well according to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, it's not a word! But what do they know, 'cause I have it on pretty good authority that it's a well established term. Basically, it's a combination word, or portmanteau if you will, of the words yell and sniff. And that is how furries fuck.
Finally, a Game For Furries
If you feel even more confused now compared to when we started, I guess I'll have to start at a more basic level. Simply put, furries are an established subculture of cosplayers who not only dress up in soft, furry animal costumes, but also act like animals. Sometimes this means sexual acts and sometimes this means hardcore sex in animal costumes. Now, take that experience, turn it into a sort of MMORPG and you have Yiffalicious. Here you can create a wide variety of anatomically correct 3D avatars of humanized animal creatures à la The Island of Doctor Moreau and then run around in a 3D-animated environment not unlike Second Life and have graphic 3D sex. Sounds hot, right?
Choose Your Furry Avatar!
If you've got a favorite animal, or if you have a furry suit of your own, you might be curious as to which animals you'll be able to choose as your avatar. So far in the free version I'm playing, you'll have access to lions, wolves, cats, dragons, antelopes, rhinoceroses and a Christmas tree. I don't know how the last one got in there, but this game is already pretty much out there, so I didn't really blink an eye. You're able to create your own avatar and upload it, but if you want it to look good, you're going to have to have some knowledge of 3D graphics design. Or if you want more avatars, download the Patreon version, where the game designers are asking for a small fee in return and you'll have access to more fun, sexy avatars.
3D Environments
While I said earlier that the gameplay is sort of reminiscent of Second Life (the extremely popular online virtual world), in some ways the graphics here look even better. No doubt because this game is newer and hosts a significantly smaller number of players. The movement of the avatars is fairly fluid and organic and you can even change the environments, from a medieval setting to a bar to a beach house. More settings are available in the Patreon version.
Real 360° 3D Gameplay!
The game is VR capable, but only sort of. You can definitely run it on your computer and play it through your Oculus, like I did, but there's no controller interface, so all you can do is look through it and turn your head 360°. Perhaps in the future they'll add a controller interface, but for now you're pretty much stuck playing it on your computer. I had fun though and I thought the avatars looked cool and the sex was pretty hot, too. It's free to play, but if you purchase it through Patreon you'll be helping the game improve. Here's a link to the Patreon page.
We all want that romantic villa on the French Riviera or the hills of Tuscany for one reason: to have lots and lots of sex. 3D Sex Villa offers just that, plus a whole lot more.
Why leave the house to make friends and flirt when you can customize your very own sexy 3D avatar? The cybersex here is superhot especially since you're enjoying it in VR.
Sign Up and Get Exclusive Email Offers!
Discounts, scenes and deals -All 3D animated, and all FREE!
If making 3D avatars and new friends in a fantastic cyber world where everybody wants to get laid appeals to you, then 3DXChat is something you should definitely sign up for.
If you're sexually partial to kinky and imaginative fetishes, then there's no adult game I recommend more than Sin VR. It's got the best 3D virtual graphics available today.
If you're an anime or manga fan, then you're sure to also be a hentai fan. Straight out of Japan, Hentai 3D offers a myriad of customization options to fulfill all your fantasies.
In Amsterdam, single guys looking to sow their proverbial wild oats head to the city's Red Light district. If you're looking to do the same, all you have to do is click here.
If you've got an Oculus or VIVE, or even a standard computer monitor, you can play this sexy 3D MMO game where you can build real relationships and have hot virtual sex.
EgirlVR is where adult content meets animated gameplay. You're going to have more fun than you ever thought possible! The content is unique, so don't pass up the chance to play.
Gogo dancers are superfun, but if you've ever been to a strip club, you know that a few lap dances can get pricey. Take it easy on your wallet and enjoy a 3D Gogo 2 dancer instead.
Ain't nothing like a sex game to get you off and keep you entertained. Now that VR has been added to the mix, you can strap on your headset and enjoy it in a first-person POV.
Erotic virtual reality need not be just hardcore scenes. After all, the most erotic part of our bodies is our mind. Citor3 offers domination-themed 3D content for the GearVR.
Got yourself a virtual reality viewer? Congrats. Now it's time to watch photorealistic 3D babes suck you off like you've always wanted on VR Jenny. She should work for Hoover!
Like to yiff? If not, have you ever watched a National Geographic doc of two animals humping and feel the beast in you trying to come out? Satisfy your curiosity on Yiffalicious.

What's Determining Your Growth Rate?
The speedometer on one of my vehicles stopped working recently. With a hectic work schedule, I chose not to get it repaired until I had more room in my schedule.
What I found interesting in the interim period was how much I relied on the speed of others to determine my own rate of movement. If no one was in close proximity to me, I had very little way to gauge my speed... and I was forced to err on the side of going too slow because a speeding ticket was not in my plans.
Too many people "gauge" their own success by the achievements of those around them. They feel inferior if they aren't achieving the results in their life as quickly as someone else. Even worse, they don't have a clear set of goals to give them the motivation to get moving toward any direction. Conversely, a sense of arrogance can sometimes be seen if we are accomplishing our goals faster than the people around us. Moving too quickly is often a risk that can come with lots of "tickets" (i.e. unhealthy stress, strained relationships and failure to get things done well).
We each need our own internal "speedometer" to determine if we are on pace to reach our chosen destinations (goals) in a timely manner. I'm not sure, but I don't think the police officer would have let me off with the excuse of "But officer, they were driving at that speed and I was just following them!"

Jules Rendell has been honing her craft as a singer, composer, vocal arranger and music entrepreneur with vocal group Get Gospel.
In her next video 'The Return', whilst exploring themes of self worth, perfectionism and fear, Rendell has fused her soulful roots with electronic soundscapes, hints of funk and pop hooks. Filmed by Gareth Kay and directed by Ricardo Castro, Jules Rendell is excited to unveil the visuals for 'The Return', the third single off her debut album 'IMAGINE'.
Speaking of her new song, she adds :
'We spend our lives worrying about things that don't really matter. We chase after success, value achievement and stature, but it's a trap that can tie us up. I think love is what can free us from all of that stuff - I long for that resting place of acceptance.'
Jules Rendell has been making a name for herself all around the UK including live performances at the London Hippodrome (sold out), O2 Islington, Manchester Academy, and with Robert Elms on BBC London. Her TV and film credits include London Live, OH TV, BBC 1Xtra live session (with Get Gospel), a placement on US feature film, 'The Father's Love' for her song 'Thank You' and adverts for Dr. Oetker.

Film Production
Römer produced "Days and Nights" (2014; dir. Christian Camargo) with Juliet Rylance, together managing a film crew of 200+ people.
"Days and Nights" (dir. Christian Camargo, 92 mins, 2014)
Inspired by Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull" and set in rural New England in 1984, the film centers around a fading movie star (Allison Janney), who brings her paramour to her lakeside estate to visit her ailing brother (William Hurt) and fledgling artist son (Ben Whishaw). While the eccentric family and their caretakers (portrayed by an international ensemble cast including Katie Holmes, Cherry Jones, Russell Means, Michael Nyqvist, Jean Reno, Juliet Rylance, and Mark Rylance) gather to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend, reckless desire wreaks havoc and a disastrous turn of events leads the family from dysfunction to heartbreak. In true Chekhovian fashion, comedy and tragedy collide for a profound look at the volatile and fragile nature of love.
Cast: Katie Holmes, William Hurt, Allison Janney, Cherry Jones, Russell Means, Michael Nyqvist, Jean Reno, Juliet Rylance, Mark Rylance, and Ben Whishaw
The film was acquired under the "Sundance Selects" label by IFC Films.
"the star-studded troupe turns in a master class"
"a rare discovery … brimming with sparkling dialogue, pathos, and humor."

Being a human is a really weird thing. But I don't think we get that. After all, we are born into a family of humans, a culture of humans, and world filled with humans, all telling us stories about human life from humans's perspective, so that we're literally inundated with humanness. We are never able to step back and see, for example, how an ant may see us—which is to say, what our lives may look like from the outside. And that ignorance fascinates a few of us quote/unquote artists (named as such because we are more concerned with the thing itself that finding out how the thing may work, people who favor a pencil over a test tube) so that that fascination often drives us to make up stories about humans from an ant's perspective (e.g., A Bug's Life—which is actually from Aesop's fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, a "fable" being another genre of art that's trying to explain a part of life to us from animals's perspective). And kids really love this stuff because they are wide-awake, un-touched by the ruinous force of adulthood in the 21st century. Adults though…well we're a different story.
To get right at the core of this weirdness, I think we just have to ask the question Why, like kids do. Vicious Infinite Regress or not, the question of Why is what makes us more human because it allows us a further step back from the closed-minded, ego-centric view that comes with the American adult aphorism "crazy-busy." To be crazy busy is to be on autopilot, serving the dictator called Time. And the only things that can serve a dictator and be happy are ants, and, I guess, robots.
The question of Why isn't always about how the thing may work. I'm not asking you why your car accelerates down the road when you press the pedal and expecting you to break down the internal combustion engine. If I were, I'd go find a technical manual and learn how the system worked. What I want to know (and what all kids want to know) is how come it all ends up working? Sure the spark plug ignites gas in a mind-numbingly fast sequence and rotates the drive shaft and etc etc, but how come humans decided that would be a good idea and what do we now have to show for it? Were there other options at the time we decided on spark plugs? This is just an example.
What we want more than a scientific definition is meaning. Kids love to ask Why because they love meaning—they're little meaning connoisseurs. They crave rich, juicy meaning to sink their teeth into. Some parents laugh at them (or worse–and infinitely more pathetic–scoff at them) because they've forgotten what it's like to live life for the sheer joy of it. They have been ruined by the evil in the world which has destroyed fairy land. So much so that "growing up"–in their minds–has become synonymous with cynicism and disillusionment and, the ultimate bottom-line, pragmatism. To jump up and down when fresh cookies come out of the oven isn't acceptable for adults, because we've learned to curb our enthusiasm, because we know cookies make us fat, because everything that tastes good always comes at a price, because, in the end, life is meant to be weighed and balanced, not enjoyed.
Adults have been trained to believe a lie, but it's a pernicious lie. It rings true to the world around us because we live in a world that's fallen with a capital-F. It's true. Cookies will make you fat and bad guys do abduct little children playing in the street, and love does come at a cost, and in the end, nothing really matters all that much anyways because when you die, the world keeps on turning, no matter how much you think you may have accomplished. Simply put, adults think meaning is an illusion and so in an act of true maturity and foresight, they learn to replace meaning with the bottom-line, which, in our culture, is materialism and productivity. Adults have become more robot than human in their coming of age in a world devoid of meaning and purpose and heroes and saints, and they have become desensitized and therefore de-fascinated by things like, say, ants, internal combustion engines, and spark plugs.
But adults have become something less than their children. They have become less human. And this is why being human is weird. In no other species is it better to be a child, but when it comes to being human, children possess qualities more pure and untainted by the world around them. Since humans are psychological creatures, we are apt to change. Adult ants don't hit mid-life crises and become disenchanted with the world. Adult humans do.
This is just one example of why our Lord lifted children up as a pattern to us, even to adults. Their wonder is unbounded. Their desire for meaning is uninhibited by the so-called sobriety that comes with maturity—or should we say, the sobriety (meaning grumpiness and skepticism) that comes as a byproduct of the maturation process in our fallen world. But true maturity is very much like childishness. Cynicism isn't maturity; hope is. And children have hope. Adults mostly don't. Somewhere in between, in the angsty coming-of-age stage of life, we all began to think for ourselves and learn how to navigate life for our good. In the smallness of our minds we thought it best to tone down our dreams, to get "realistic" about life, and to see childish dreams as inferior, idealistic, and weak. But what we don't know is that weakness, in God's world, is often the way.

Meetings, deadlines, conferences and commitments, office hours could prove to be too constricting to think about anything else. In such a tiring schedule, our fitness begins to take a toll. During office hours, most of us are guilty of munching aimlessly too, and let's admit it, not many of us do much to burn those extra calories post office hours either. So what can you do? Well, you cannot change your eating patterns and routine overnight, but starting with small and wise changes is a good idea to cut the calorie overload. Here are some tips that may serve as a good starting point.
Weight Loss Friendly Tips You Can Ensure In Office
1. Make sure you are not in reach of unhealthy snacks. Do not keep fattening namkeen, cookies and chips too close to you. If they are within your reach, you are more likely to binge into them without real hunger. Take your own healthy office snacks like almonds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts and fruits and keep eating them to keep cravings at bay.
2. Similarly with beverages, ditch aerated colas, sodas and fruit drinks and carry your own bottle of water and healthy and low-cal drinks like zeera water, ajwain water or cinnamon water. Keep sipping into it, from time-to-time.
3. Make sure you take small breaks. Step away from your system, walk around your office. Sitting at one place for 8-10 hours is a major propeller of sedentary lifestyle, which in turn is a risk factor for obesity.
(Also Read: Weight Loss: 3 Low-Calorie Snacks You Can Pack For Office)
4. It is very important to carry your own lunch. It is okay to take food from dhabas and eateries in your office vicinity once in a while. But make sure you do not make it a practice; you never know which oil they use to make the food. If you pack your own tiffin, you get to decide the grease content in your food. Make sure you pack ample protein and fibre in your lunch.
5. If your office happens to have a gym or room for recreational activities like badminton or cricket, make sure you engage yourself in such physical activities. Doing so not only helps break monotony but also makes sure you are fit and active.
Take note of these tips and burn extra calories naturally.

Well it's good bye to 2008 and welcome to 2009! I look forward to many new photographic adventures, which means more posts! Yay for my blog readers! I would like to share one of the last photos that I took in 2008 (Taken at the Paramount backlot in Los Angeles):
Taken with my point and shoot, that's all I had on me. As you can see, it was a VERY foggy (and turned to be quite chilly) evening to ring in the new year.
So here is to 2009!

Nearly all patients with untreated chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and all of those with genotype 1 infection whose previous treatment with telaprevir or boceprevir had failed were cured with the oral combination therapy daclatasvir plus sofosbuvir in an open-label study of 211 patients (Sulkowski MS et al. N Engl J Med. doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1306218 [published online January 16, 2014]).
Patients were randomly assigned to receive sofosbuvir for 1 week, then daclatasvir and sofosbuvir for 23 weeks; daclatasvir and sofosbuvir with or without ribavirin for 24 weeks; or daclatasvir plus sofosbuvir, with or without ribavirin, for 12 or 24 weeks.

The Discourse
The Third Generation Project advocates for a reframing of the discourse surrounding collective rights, arguing that long-term solutions to the critical issues facing our world – including intolerance, environmental degradation and poverty – require a collective conversation that prioritises the voices of those from communities dealing with these issues on a daily basis.
Prioritizing Communities
We thus support a collaborative and community-centred approach that highlights the knowledge systems so often overlooked by Western praxis, and that works with marginalized communities to identify both the pressing problems affecting their communities, and the potential solutions to them.
Creating Conversations
In doing so, we hope to bring communities, academics, activists, practitioners and policymakers together to create the potential for policy change through in-depth, meticulous and critical research that espouses innovative policy options based on long-term community engagement and participation.

Don't allow Tasmanian Blueberry Farms to die!
This petition had 495 supporters
The introduction of Blueberry Rust into Tasmania has major ramifications for all organic Blueberry producers in the state. One grower (not Tasmanian) has determined their own reaction to this killer virus, they maintain they can "manage" Blueberry Rust. Management of a wind borne virus is not possible as you would need to manage nature itself and stop the wind from blowing.
This virus is dangerous and would only be kept from infecting other farms by the eradication of the infected plants.
The Tasmanian Blueberry industry has a reputation as does all Tasmanian produce of being clean, green and pristine. This image will be shattered if all growers are forced to spray because one Mainland company doesn't want to conform to best practice and destroy their infected plants.
The virus has now spread to four farms and will only spread further if not stopped by eradication methods.
The Tasmanian Blueberry industry is not huge but there are families relying on on their fruit to keep a roof over their heads and feed their children. Why is the Tasmanian Government not doing all it can?
The solution is simple eradicate the infected plants and do not allow the import of plant materials into the state. There are enough plants in Tasmania to start and maintain a nursery population of our own, so that Blueberry plants need never be imported.
The Tasmanian Government banned the import of Salmon products some years ago for the very same reason, it may have destroyed the Salmon industry. Why are Blueberry Farmers any less important to this state?

This week's HEALTH topic is BONE DENSITY and Your Diet:
Why is it that once we reach the age of 30 we start having bone problems? How does your diet contribute to this problem?
I don't know about you guys but growing up I didn't care about any of the ingredients in sodas, I would enjoy drinking them without regrets! Well today is a different story, as a parent, my job is to make sure that my kids are eating and drinking products that will not affect their health! Remember what you eat today will affect you tomorrow!!
One of the reasons we start having bone problems at the age of 30 is called "Phosphoric Acid". This ingredient is in many of the carbonated soft drinks, it is a substance that has a link to the loss of density in your bones! This ingredient is also used in fertilizers, soaps, dyes, polishing metals and other nonfood products!! It is added to soft drinks to prevent the growth of molds and bacteria in sugary formulas WOW RIGHT!?
Next time you feel like drinking a soda or giving your child a soda, think about how it will affect your health in the future…

Today has been a busy race to kick off my 2018 award season wishes. I had originally only intended to do 2 sets of wishes for the 2018 AFI Awards, but when I saw how many glamorous women were in the ranks of this years honored films and television programs I knew I just had to add one more, and I wasn't event able to fit all of them into these three! Of all of the award season events the AFI Awards are the most laid back being the only luncheon where awards are handed out. I am really hoping that all of the stars of the programs being honored at this year awards, on Friday January 5, 2018, to really help ensure that award season kicks off in such a major manner. Allison Williams has been working the hell out of the red carpet scene helping to campaign for award nominations for Get Out and has done so in such a glamorous way. While so far none of the nominations have specifically gone to Allison I am expecting that she will deliver a really great selection of looks over the course of award season to help campaign for the film anyway. For the AFI Awards I went for chic femininity for Allison with this ballerina pink ADEAM Spring 2018 RTW ensemble which features a scarf panel twist dress layered over a twist back knit sweater. Honestly Allison has always been one that really wows me when she goes really girly with her looks and I think that this would be such a chic moment on her. With her blonde locks in a loose updo, a daytime smokey eye, glossy nude lips, and a pair of rose pink Jimmy Choo 'Saga' wave trim pumps she would be the the epitome of feminine elegance.Emilia Clarke has kept a really low profile this year. She has attended a total of two events over the whole year and I am really hoping that she will return to the limelight next year and the AFI Awards, where Game of Thrones is being honored, would be the perfect place for her to make that return. Earlier this year Emilia was announced as the face of the Dolce & Gabbana fragrance The One, and as a brand ambassador one should expect to see her wearing a look from the brand. I did look at Dolce looks, but there honestly wasn't a single look that I felt would be right for Emilia to wear for this event. So while I was looking for the perfect dress I came across this dark green trellis jacquard Emilia Wickstead Spring 2018 RTW dress which features rope-like straps with gold button hardware and a pleated full tea length skirt. This might be a little more formal than I normally expect from the AFI Awards red carpet, but I think that how it comes across would be mostly about how Emilia presents it. I think that with a loose wavy bob, neutral makeup, and a pair of hand painted floral Dolce & Gabbana mary jane pumps that Emilia would turn this into the perfect luncheon ensemble for the AFI Awards red carpet.With Dunkirk expecting several nominations over the course of award season I would think it is a safe bet that we will see Harry Styles on many of the red carpets this award season. After he took three of the ten spots on this years Best Dressed Men list I am really interested to see what he will bring over the course of award season. If he steps out for the more causal AFI Awards I think we will see one of the more bohemian and out there looks from the singer and actor. I think that Harry would take this yellow and purple paisley Etro Spring 2018 Menswear suit and matching knit collared henley would make for the perfect fun casual moment for Harry. Tousled locks and a pair of mustard suede Armando Cabral 'Astor Luga' derby shoes would really ensure that Harry oozes cool guy sex appeal on the AFI Awards red carpet. Insecure star Issa Rae loves color and print when it comes to her red carpet looks and I am praying that she brings major color moment to the AFI Awards red carpet. I think that this lemon yellow cotton poplin Prabal Gurung Spring 2018 RTW wrap front dress which dress features a scoop neckline, short sleeves, flared hem, side split, and a peplum detail at the waist would give that bright color moment that I am craving. While on January 5th most of the United States will be layering with sweaters and coats the LA weather will still call for summer wardrobe so this look would be the perfect thing to cheer those of us who will be braving the cold right up. I wanted to keep the color theme of this look going with the shoes, but wanted to do it in the chicest way possible. So if I were styling Issa in this dress I would hand her a pair of white Sophia Webster 'Coco Crystal' pumps which feature an embellished rainbow heel to really make this a beautiful moment.Mandy Moore has emerged as quite the fashionista over the course of the last year and I am really excited to see what she will bring to award season this year. I went or a very strong yet classic look for Mandy to wear for the AFI Awards, where her series This Is Us is being honored. I think that if Mandy stepped out on the red carpet at the AFI Awards luncheon wearing this navy blue Jason Wu Spring 2018 RTW sleeveless trench dress that she would just ooze modern glamour. I think that chic waves, a red lip, navy blue Givenchy 'Antigona' envelope clutch, and a pair of navy velvet, satin, and patent leather Giuseppe Zanotti 'Veronica' chunky heel platform sandals all would help ensure that modern glamour. Last but not least for today is Sarah Paulson who I would love to see step out on this red carpet to promote her latest film The Post, which is being honored. Sarah's stylist Karla Welch has been all about putting her clients in vintage recently from Karlie Kloss to Tracee Ellis Ross to Kathryn Hahn. Of all of Karla's clients one that vintage comes to mind rather often when I think of is Sarah Paulson so I thought why not put her in something vintage for the AFI Awards. When I saw this black vintage Chloé long sleeve dress by Karl Lagerfeld which features silver embellished arrows Sarah immediately sprung to mind and I think that going a little extra mile with this look. It is a little more cocktail than the usual look that would be worn for the AFI Awards red carpet, but I think that if anyone could make it work it is Sarah especially if she pairs it with a black Prada snakeskin box clutch and a pair of silver JAGGAR 'Lane' metallic leather sandals.
The 2018 AFI Awards will take place on Friday January 5, 2018.

Weidman's, the shoe and apparel store, closed its doors for good this past Saturday, another small-business victim of Geneseo's struggling Main Street.
According to owner Josh Weidman, the store's failure was due in part to its proximity to cities like Rochester and Buffalo and competition with stores like Wal-Mart and Peebles.
"People can just hop on the 390 and be in Rochester in half an hour," he said.
Open for only one year, the store carried shoe brands like Columbia, Merrell and Saucony. With actual sales far lower than projected, Weidman's offered discounts of up to 70 percent in the final weeks of business.
In addition to competition, the threat of an economic recession made many people more price conscious.
"In five months, people can buy five different pairs of shoes for $10 at places like Wal-Mart instead of one $50 pair of shoes here," said sophomore Esther Son. "I never go to Main Street. When I have to go [shopping], I go to Wal-Mart."
Employee Linsey Morsch noted that the lack of parking on Main Street was a problem for business.
"People have to pay for it, and then they can only stay an hour or two before they have to pay again," she said.
Despite the proximity of the store to campus, most of the patronage came from people who lived in town, according to Weidman.
Although Weidman's was forced to close, there are several programs throughout Livingston and Wyoming counties to promote small business development.
According to the Livingston County Chamber of Commerce Web site, "the Geneseo Small Business Development Center, located on the campus of SUNY Geneseo and [administered by the State University of New York], provides management and technical assistance to start-up and existing small business firms."
Additionally, students of Mary Mohan of the communication department are working with the Alliance for Business Growth of Livingston and Wyoming Counties to develop Live Magazine, a publication designed to inform students about businesses in and around Geneseo.
"Working with the students, I got the idea that many don't know what is in Livingston County," Alliance Director Louise Wadsworth said. "There is a lack of information."
Weidman's also has another location in Dansville, about 15 minutes away from Geneseo.

It's been a few months since I smelt the fresh air of the Zambian bush. For Easter I decided to take my family to South Luangwa National Park, a place I have never visited before. I quickly loaded my car the night before we started the 10 hour journey. Once I had all the family in the car and ensured we had all the essentials for the weekend I turned on my Garmin Montana 650 GPS equipped with Tracks4Africa Maps. The GPS gave me the full route we were to travel to the bush camp including the arrival times that were all spot on. We spent the next few days driving on our own through the South Luangwa Park without any fear of taking a wrong track or getting lost. This was due to the fact that we had every detail of all the game viewing roads in the park including the points of interest such as scenic spots and view points all displayed on the Tracks4Africa Maps.
The Tracks4Africa Maps is a map that is specifically designed for outdoor enthusiasts traveling through Africa. It includes a lot of detail of all the important points of interests in towns and cities. It also has details of all the lodges and campsites and all the information that would be beneficial to those travelers like me that just love to be on and off-road exploring. Tracks4Africa Maps also has most of the rivers and lakes including river tracks where a boat could easily find its way through rocky or sandy parts of the rivers.
The Tracks4Africa Maps are available at the Autoworld Downtown branch in Lusaka along with a wide range of Garmin GPS units. If you love the outdoors and want to ensure you that you never miss the "bush highlights", then visit Downtown and get yourself equipped for your next adventure…

Happy adventures!

"As the pain diminished, I began to notice other symptoms of irritability, tiredness and short term memory issues were disappearing."
After the delivery of our first child, I was unable to urinate. I left the hospital with a catheter and it was 10 days, 7 catheters later before I could urinate on my own. When I did, I had a tremendous amount of pain each time, as if I had a urinary tract infection. I struggled with this for 3 years.
Doctors ruled out urinary tract infections and ran multiple tests, MRIs etc. The treatments I tried included multiple rounds of antibiotics, antidepressants, physical therapy, biofeedback and a recommendation of surgical implantation of a neurotransmitter to turn off the nerves on my bladder. I was not ready for surgery and asked the Lord for guidance.
I had passed Agape Acupuncture regularly and decided to give acupuncture a try. I was skeptical and shared that with Dr. Huang during my consultation. He offered empathy and reassurance that God could heal me. I decided to give it a try as I did not want to undergo surgery.
The staff welcomed me and put me at ease. After two weeks of treatments and taking herbs I began to feel a reduction in the pain I had grown so accustomed to. As the pain diminished, I began to notice other symptoms of irritability, tiredness and short term memory issues were disappearing. My pain level had been at an 8 and over time moved down to a 2. I was so grateful I found natural medicine that I brought in my children to heal their eczema and colds. I even got my husband to come in after a month long battle with lower back pain – he is free of that too.
If you are reading this, I encourage you to try Agape Acupuncture. You will benefit tremendously and experience an improved quality of life.

A Melbourne office building is at the centre of a measles outbreak, with four more confirmed cases in Victoria.
Up to 11 people have now been diagnosed as having measles, with eight of those cases linked to the Collins Square office building at Docklands.
"People who work in or around that area...need to be aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease," Victorian chief health officer Professor Charles Guest said.
Measles has an incubation period of seven to 18 days and people who have visited various locations, including the MCG, during the AFL preliminary final last week may not develop symptoms until mid-October, Professor Guest says.
The highly infectious viral disease can cause serious illness and can lead to complications such as pneumonia.
It starts with common cold symptoms like a runny nose, red eyes and a cough followed by a fever and a rash.

Is Apple's Deal With China Mobile on the Horizon?
The previous date that Apple investors were hoping for on a deal with China Mobile has now come and gone, with no official announcement. Never to be deterred, the rumor mill is now focusing on a new upcoming date for a possible iPhone launch on China's (and the world's) biggest wireless carrier: Dec. 18.
China Mobile has officially confirmed that it will roll out its TD-LTE network on that date, and all the pieces are lined up for the iPhone to make its debut at the same time. Apple's device is now technically compatible and has already been certified.
China Mobile is now up to 760 million subscribers, of which only 176 million are 3G customers. Regardless of how you slice it, Apple will significantly expand its addressable market once it inks this expected deal.
In this segment of Tech Teardown, Erin Kennedy discusses the iPhone's long-awaited debut on China Mobile with Evan Niu, CFA, our tech and telecom bureau chief.
Want to get in on the smartphone phenomenon? Apple's not the obvious play.
Truth be told, one company sits at the crossroads of smartphone technology as we know it. It's not your typical household name, either. In fact, you've probably never even heard of it! But it stands to reap massive profits no matter who ultimately wins the smartphone war. To find out what it is, click here to access The Motley Fool's latest free report: "One Stock You Must Buy Before the iPhone-Android War Escalates Any Further."

Stay Groovy: Introducing Craig Williams Photography
Today we're introducing you to our 2018 premium exhibitor Craig Williams Photography. Essentially all you need to know about Craig is that he's a wedding and lifestyle 'tog with insane talent, an arsenal of creamy, dreamy photos in his back catalogue, plans to keep bringing said creamy, dreamy, good-vibes-filled photos to the world, and his email signature is signed "Stay Groovy". And we adore that. Simple.
Also - Craig has got you cool cat curious couples an exclusive offer! He isn't charging travel fees for any weddings in the UK that are booked from the fair. Groovy!
Why did you decide to set up your own business?
My Dad always had a camera, taking pictures at every opportunity, so I've always taken pictures! Having worked in various companies since I left school and never knowing what I wanted to do, I went travelling at 19 around Australia, and when I got back I got a job as a commercial photographer. I had been shooting weddings for 3 years so when I met Kate, my wife, at the age of 22, starting my own photography business just felt like the right thing to do.
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting new people and, of course, the fact that I get to photograph one of the happiest days of a couple's lives. I often think how awesome it is that I get to photograph the excitement, the love, the emotion, and the details of a day on which two people show their family and friends how much they love each other.
Who or what inspires you?
Without sounding too corny, it has to be my kids. They are insane - watching them grow and learn blows my mind. Every day is different and every day they learn something new; they never give up, and their loud screaming frustration just shows me their pure determination. My daughter talks to me about anything and everything and asks more questions than I thought possible, with such an infectious passion for life. It's this passion for life I bring to your wedding day!
What do you think the most Curious couples will love about your work?
I hope they can see that I love to capture real moments. Capturing the fun, excitement and emotion of their day is the most important thing to me. My pictures are full of life and show the unique atmosphere of each wedding I photograph.
Describe the type of couple you are hoping to meet at Most Curious
Keeping on the passion theme, I love it when a couple is passionate about their wedding day!
Make sure you catch Craig and his good vibes and passion for life at our London show, from 2nd - 4th March 2018. Tickets are now available from our online shop!

Almost all people might have loved someone in their life..To say something about my love..
I have experienced it three times..but still I dont know exactly what this love thig is
..it made me laugh and cry at the same time...still i am in search of love..
its such a feeling inside us for someone..makes us feel alive..and we get crazy about it..
how that happens is beyond my thinking..it just happens..
I had felled into love with three..but that was incomplete..does that make any sense??he he
of course yes..its always valuable and such an ever memorable feeling to me..
My love is true..always..
I still remember those school days..I didnt get to know that I was in love with someone..
those four years she was with me..After I left my school I got to know how much I miss
her in my life..I believe she would have felt the same what I did..But dont know what to say..
sense of responsibility to my family or something else pushed me back to concentrate
in my studies more..and that relationship stopped when I left my 10th std and joined
plus2..slowly I started trying to forget her..after few days I met another girl..
This time I couldnt stop myself from not loving that girl..I started thinking a lot
about her..what a crap!!I started dreaming too..but , she was not thinking like I did..
hell it took me into a helpless situation..but I recovered from it very soon..
she was not meant to be mine..
And the third one..this time ,I was more carefull and had a clear idea about my wish..
she was so close..and I was very comfortable with her..she enjoyed my friendship..
but she was not in love with me..I dont know what went wrong this time..
she was mistaken or me??I didnt force her or anyone..
coz I believe ,every one has the right to choose someone whom they want to love..
we should not compromise in case of love..it has to happen inside us..otherwise no use..
now I am not feeling to love anyone..just because it cant be made..
hopefully everything will come out to be fine..
and one day i will get my real love ..yes ..I am waiting for that..:)
( For this post i am really grateful to my friend Praseetha, She edited my story in a poet style :) )
