What is a Fire Talk?
A fire talk is a shamanic counseling session. Rooted in the ancient curanderismo traditions of the Americas, these platicas del corazon (discussions of the heart) are deep, open exchanges that support you in discovering your true self and finding your way forward in life. The experience is like having a conversation with a wise old friend, in the spirit as the dialogues between don Juan and his young apprentice Carlos Casteneda, sitting on the veranda or out in a desert canyon around a fire. We listen to what is felt but not seen, sensing the quiet but insistent invitations of your heart, helping you move forward in life-giving new directions with confidence and power.
Jeff offers 5 fire talk options (details of each below)
- Individual fire talk sessions (1.5-2 hrs.)
- Long-distance (phone or Skype) fire talks
- Day-long intensives (with 2 or 3 sessions)
- Multi-day/overnight intensives (sessions each day)
- Couples' fire talk sessions
The issues that people bring to fire talks include all the normal human struggles, including: major life decisions, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, job transitions, grief and loss, and spiritual struggles about life purpose, feeling stagnant, lost, or uncertain. But the shamanic approach to these struggles is unique, ancient, and deeply soulful, drawing on the power of the heart, the Creator, and our dynamic spiritual connection with all living things. Fire talk sessions blend traditional shamanic practices with modern counseling wisdom and may include shamanic journeying, visioning exercises, intensive journaling, dream work, soul retrieval ceremony, and more. Fees are set on a sliding-scale basis to help more individuals benefit from the work.
Here's a short video describing the fire talk lineage, and Jeff's process:
You can use e-mail to schedule a fire talk or ask a question. Fees and details listed in each section below.
"Thanks, Jeff! When our son Chris (17) shared insights from his fire-talk, Paul and I were both stunned and amazed. We tried not to bust out in tears. It was nothing short of miraculous. Chris was given an incredible gift today. THANK YOU for sharing your gifts with our son. We look forward to future sessions!" -Barbara, Indiana
"One can teach the process, but be assured that no one I know can ask just the right questions at just the right time (did someone say lawyer?), guide the discussion in such a gentle, insightful way, and reflect such intuitive vision as you." –Victoria, financial manager, Michigan.
Individual Fire Talk Session
Fire talks take place in Jeff's backyard Hermitage in South Bend. We start with a warm welcome, several minutes of mindful silence, then lighting the flame of an earthenware lamp for a sage blessing and prayer. Jeff provides a brief overview of the earth-honoring spiritual traditions, and then we begin.
It's a gentle yet purposeful process of getting quickly to the heart of the situation you are facing, helping you clarify a vision for what is most deeply needed in your life, and naming the specific needs or barriers that stand in the way of following that vision. The relaxed time frame (1.5 to 2 hours) allows deep exploration of those needs. You will leave with a clearer vision for your life, more confidence in a forward-leading path, and specific action steps toward living out (and protecting!) this new path in your daily life.
After the first fire talk session you decide if, and when, to return for an additional session(s). Some people find that one session is enough to deeply clarify things, and move forward. Others return for several visits to really work through a persistent challenge. Still others schedule ongoing sessions because they enjoy the process so much, they want the support and accountability, and because it works.
For more on fire talks and Jeff's practice, see FAQs.
- First session (2 hrs): a sliding-scale fee from $80.-115 (meaning, you decide what you can afford to pay, within this given range). This allows more people to have the fire talk experience.
- Additional sessions (1.5 hrs): a sliding-scale fee from $60.-90.
Contact Jeff to set up your initial fire talk.
"I am impressed that our sessions got right 'to the heart' of the deep issues, and are very Spirit led. Much more efficient (and much more fun) than traditional counseling!" -Katrina EA, financial advisor
"Talking with Jeff really helps me get through the problems I am dealing with, whether they're emotional or physical, obvious or deeply hidden inside myself. Every fire talk touches my heart and reveals something to me about myself I really needed to know, something that was hidden from my perception. I feel very comfortable there, and walk away feeling much more calm and collected than I did walking in." -Lisa, high school senior.
Long-Distance (phone or Skype) Fire Talks
Fire talk sessions can be conducted long-distance via Skype/Zoom or phone when distance or travel costs are prohibitive. Special provisions are made ahead of time to assure the sacredness of the space at both ends of the line (securing a quiet room, creating a small altar, and arranging with family and pets for no interruptions).s
- Fees: First session (2 hrs): a sliding-scale $85.-115
- Additional sessions (1.5 hrs): a sliding-scale fee $65.-95.
"I reached out to schedule a video conference with Jeff after reading his book. Doing healing work virtually can be a bit dicey, but from the moment we connected, I felt the space to be safe, secure, and powerful. Jeff's deep listening, reflection, grounded humanity, and non-judgmental compassion created a sense of space that allowed a deep wisdom to emerge. I left feeling much more clear, lighter, and filled with gratitude." -- Michael, Los Angeles, CA
(Facebook post) "Thank you to Jeff Nixa for his telephone fire talk that held me in a sacred space and allowed to me see that spirit had blessed me with a shamanic "dismemberment" of my life so I could be put back to together, in a stronger more loving way... that all the pieces of my life no longer serving me had left, creating a huge opening of freedom to grow my life stronger and with more sacred energy. What a gift to see this year differently, with deeper eyes and a grateful heart. Thank you so much Jeff, I can't wait to do more work with you.'" - Annie, New Lenox, IL
"Although our fire talk session occurred over the phone, Jeff was able to create and hold sacred space that allowed for a heartfelt exploration. Jeff was patient and supportive throughout our session. I would recommend a telephonic fire-talk session for those unable to meet in person." – Todd, data analyst, Detroit, MI
Couples' Fire Talk
A 2-hour Fire Talk session for couples. This is not "couple's therapy" or the standard he-said/she-said counseling session. Rather, each person takes a turn acting as shaman for their partner, helping the other to identify his or her own life vision and barriers to moving forward. The emphasis is on supporting each of your individual souls, as journeyers on unique paths to wholeness, yet doing so as best friends and vital partners. Its like two climbers scaling a difficult mountain together, roped together yet with lots of slack between each person to allow them the freedom to choose the course he/she knows is best. Independent adventurers, working closely as a team.
When you stop focusing on trying to change your "climbing partner" and pay closer attention to your own needs, gifts, and dreams, great pressure is taken off your partner to meet your own physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial needs. The partnership is given a rest, allowed to reboot naturally, and you can start relating together like new people (new souls) with fresh vision and energy. Intractable problems begin to melt, and shapeshift, and a surprising, new way through these issues often opens up with little conscious effort.
Fees: first session (2 hours) sliding scale fee $85.-115. Subsequent sessions (1.5 hours) sliding scale $65-95. Contact to discuss, or schedule your first Couples session today.
"We originally sought you out to go to a deeper spiritual level in our marriage. Thank you so much for introducing us to heart centered counseling. Even though we have had only three sessions, the progress has been incredible." -Keith and Katrina (financial and tax advisors)
"Jeff, thanks so much for your time this evening. My husband and I had a great talk tonight; I asked him a lot of the same questions that you asked me. His answers were very insightful. I felt like a shaman 🙂 Much appreciation for your work! I look forward to working with you again! P.s.- I am going to give my mom your card." -Cathy (physical therapist)
Full Day Intensive
This series of two or three 90-minute fire talks over the course of a full day ( in the morning, afternoon, and evening) allows more time and depth to find your heart's vision as it arises from our work together. Working out of Jeff's backyard Hermitage, we will alternate between the joint sessions and solo time for you. Shamanic approaches may include guided shamanic journeys, meeting one's spirit guide or power animal, core journaling exercises, and traditional shamanic ceremonies like soul retrieval.
The day is designed to support your particular needs, your vision and life challenges. A simple meal, snacks, bathroom and basic amenities are available right next door at Jeff's family home.
Fees: (for three sessions, full-day exclusive use of Hermitage, house privileges) is a sliding scale from $175.-225. Contact Jeff to inquire today.
"I saw myself from a new perspective with this process. Sitting by the fire, Jeff had me choose objects from a bowl that represented aspects of my journey and place them on a table. This was a refreshing way to look at my life in an honest, non-judgmental way: to acknowledge the issues and find a practical solution by the end of the session." -Deanna W., spiritual directorx
Multi-Day Intensive/Overnight Sessions
This multi-day experience allows a cozy, safe, retreat-like experience with time to fully withdraw from the nonstop activity of life, deeply explore the guidance of your heart, and address the barriers you face. Dates are scheduled to meet your particular needs. You may stay in the Hermitage, at a local hotel, or commute home if you live in the area. You can also store and prepare your own food in our home/kitchen, where a private downstairs bath is available 24/7 during your stay. Ample open time is allowed for walks or biking along the river, naps, journaling, reading and contemplation in this beautiful backyard retreat space and surrounding neighborhood.
Fees: As above, Jeff offers a sliding fee scale based on number of days. A recent example involved a 5-day stay by a client from California, with 2-3 fire talk sessions per day and escorted side trips to local parks and nature walks, for $895.-955. including the overnight use of the Hermitage. (Normal cost of the 10-12 individual fire talk sessions would total avg. $1100.). Upon booking your travel dates, Jeff will email you an invoice for an advance deposit (30% of total estimated fee) to reserve the Hermitage exclusively for you and block his schedule from other clients.
"Thank you for being on my journey with me this week. I truly felt your dedication, warmth and compassion during all of our sessions which encouraged me to be authentic. I came to Indiana without any expectations and am leaving with tools, more awareness, and an openness to my own heart I could not have received on my own. Thank you, your Hermitage, and your spirit helpers. Your work is very important and I am honored to have been a part of it." -Krista, clothing designer, Portland Oregon
"I spent a 3-day weekend at Jeff's backyard Hermitage and had a wonderful time relaxing and reflecting between our fire talk sessions. It was truly refreshing to spend a good chunk of time away from my regular life to really be with myself, away from the usual distractions, allowing me to explore my heart uninterrupted. The icing on the cake was conversation with Jeff's kind wife Regina, and playing with his energetic dog Indie!" -Anders J., University of Michigan (senior), Ann Arbor MI

When the Earth Groans
The groaning of earth is heavy this Advent season. I drove yesterday weeping while All Things Considered played the solemn ringing of bells that sung for 26 lost lives a week ago. Washington DC was a deep bellowing bell and Hampstead like the sound of silverware in a wooden drawer, Lansing was mournful and Sandy Hook was musical. I wonder about the bell maker from that church in Sandy Hook—did he know that a hundred years after he cast those molds his bells would ring out the memory of six year olds?
I am grateful for the Mayans and not their strange magic or numbering systems, but their calendar and their prediction of the end of the world so nestled between the tragedies of 26 families and the jubilant Christmas morning of a million other families. I needed all this talk about the end of the world, not because I believed a word of it, but because I need the weight of the second coming heavy on me. I needed it to bring order to my misplaced priorities and misappropriated mourning.
Some say that the joy of Christmas is in the youngest faces, in their expectation that what they asked for is under the tree, wrapped in paper and bows. Some say one cannot fully appreciate the season until you have children and sometimes I believe them. But not always. Because the longer I live, without children, without distraction, the depth of Christmas makes room for the truest expectation to be present. I have not prepared room in my heart on purpose, but it is there, in the void of so many other things, there is room in my heart for heaven and nature to sing. For heaven to call and earth to groan back: Come, Jesus, Come.
Last night in an old warehouse in Dallas, amidst pine trees, white lights, and a room packed full of so many favorite faces, we closed an evening of song with a Come Thou Long Expected Jesus/Joy to the World medley and I stood there in the back row and closed my eyes, breathing deep the scent of wood, fir and firelight, the stuff of earth, ready, waiting, groaning.
Let earth receive her King.

As a kid, I fell in love with the film Xanadu. My sister was a fan and her constant watching turned me into one. While the visuals and story are great, one of the more intriguing parts of the film was the soundtrack. Filled with music my ELO and Olivia Newton-John, it was a record I was constantly taking from my sister's collection. When I released my Xanadu Podcast, I mentioned that when listening to the soundtrack, I preferred this fanmade Xanadu Expanded Soundtrack that I found online.
Listen to: The Retroist Xanadu Podcast
Yes, the original soundtrack is great, but Xanadu is overflowing with music. No matter how many soundtracks they release, they just can't seem to get everything I want into it. That is where a wonderful fan named selwyn c and their Xanadu Expanded Soundtrack enters the picture. They have put together a soundtrack that is over an hour-long and it is filled with great tunes not together on an official releases. It is a mighty mix project of non-stop Xanadu magic that includes many unreleased songs which were extracted from the film.
So do yourself a favor. Take off your headphones, turn up the speaker on your computer and turn on this soundtrack. Be prepared, you will be whisked away on a cloud of late seventies/early eighties musical gold that might start you dancing.
Listen the Xanadu Expanded Soundtrack
Here is the Track Listing to help you find the songs you enjoy the most. I suggest jumping to 00.46.50 if you want to get amped up. Although I got to warn you. You might want to put on a pair of roller-skates beforehand.
Xanadu Soundtrack:
00.00.00 – Intro – Whenever You're Away From Me / Xanadu (instrumental)
00.01.44 – I'm Alive (ELO)
00.05.52 – Magic (ONJ)
00.10.16 – Mission to Moscow (Glenn Miller & The Army Air Force Band )
00.12.40 – You Made Me Love You (ONJ)
00.15.38 – Whenever You're Away From Me (Gene Kelly & ONJ)
00.20.35 – Suddenly (Cliff Richard & ONJ)
00.24.34 – Dancin' (ONJ & The Tubes)
00.30.54 – Don't Walk Away (ELO)
00.35.33 – All Over the World (ELO)
00.39.25 – The Fall (ELO)

Police are hunting for two men wanted over a Queensland bottleshop robbery in which a woman was knocked unconscious last week.

We just caught sight of this incredible crop of solar-powered Supertrees rising at Singapore's Gardens By The Bay, a 101-acre conservatory that will soon blossom with 226,000 plants and flowers from all over the world. Designed by Grant Associates, the 18 Supertrees will serve as towering vertical gardens that collect rainwater, generate solar power, and act as venting ducts for the conservatories. Although the gardens aren't expected to be complete for another full year, construction is moving right along and the Supertrees are truly a magical sight to behold.
Gardens by the Bay will be Singapore's largest garden project and is central to the country's continued development of Marina Bay. Managed by the Singapore's National Park Board, the gardens will feature two cooled conservatories – the Flower Dome (cool dry biome) and Cloud Forest (cool moist biome), as well as themed horticulture gardens, heritage gardens, and hundreds of thousands of plants from around the world. UK landscape architects Grant Associates are responsible for all the gardens in the Bay South area.
One of the more impressive elements will be the Supertrees, which are tree-like structures ranging in height from 25 metres and 50 metres in height (9 to 16 stories). There will be 18 Supertrees, which act as vertical gardens covered with tropical flowering climbers, epiphytes and ferns. During the day, the trees and their huge canopies will provide shade, shelter and help moderate temperatures. Then at night, the canopies will come alive with special lighting and projected media. Eleven of the trees are embedded with solar photovoltaics to generate electricity for lighting and water technologies to help cool the conservatories.
Aerial walkways will connect a couple of the taller Supertrees together so visitors can see the gardens from up high. And the 50 meter Supertree will feature a treetop bistro offering panoramic views of the bay and the surrounding gardens. Bay South at Gardens By The Bay is expected to be complete in June 2012.

Berkeley is a rural community in the township of Chatsworth, Grey County minutes north of the town Markdale which provides all necessary amenities, and approximately 29 kms south of Owen Sound, the closest city. Like most other local areas, the village was settled by British immigrants in the 1800s. Initially known as Holland and for a time as Chipmunk Corners, the name of the village was changed to Berkeley in the late 1870s, in recognition of the town of Berkeley, England. The village itself it largely residential which makes it ideal for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of busier locations. Green spaces, horse farms, and quiet country living on large lots makes this location a favoured location for families, hobby farmers and nature lovers.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S6 and I want to update the firmware - how can I be sure I find the right one for my phone? I am paranoid about somehow breaking it
Hey thordsay92!
You'll need to enter your device model in the search box on our firmware page, then select the latest firmware corresponding to your country and carrier.
Or better yet, get our app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=samsungupdate.com&hl=en. It has a built in feature that takes all that data automatically and gives you a recommendation for the best fit.
Andrei ga bisa bos
Thanks! I installed the app and I'm downloading the firmware now.
Huh. I installed the app and it recognizes my device, just doesn't find firmware for it.
Yeah, we built that into our app and it works on every type of phone.
OK, student question: what is firmware and do I want it on my phone?
slehan Firmware is a coding that tells your hardware how to work. When you install firmware on a device, it tells the device how to operate. If you upgrade your firmware, which is what these people are discussing up there, it means to install a newer version of the code that works for the specific device in question. Make sense?

'F*ck your shoes': West Wing actor blasts Ivanka Trump for enabling administration's 'hatred'
West Wing actor Bradley Whitford blasted Ivanka Trump on Twitter early Wednesday morning after the president's daughter made a point to stand up for religious tolerance in a tweet of her own. Whitford told Ivanka, "f*ck your shoes" in response.
The Trump administration has faced backlash since day one over rising anti-Semitism and racist attacks against the black and Muslim communities across the country since Donald Trump's inauguration. There has been an uptick in bomb threats against Jewish community centers in recent weeks, as well.
During a press conference last week, a Jewish reporter asked the president about this and he responded that he is the "least anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life" and also the least racist person.
Trump also made a visit to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture where he said in a speech that the "anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centers are horrible and are painful."
So when Ivanka Trump tweeted: "America is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance. We must protect our houses of worship & religious centers," Whitford responded with, "f*ck your shoes."
Your father is a racist birther. Steve Bannon an anti-Semitic opportunist. You and your husband are enabling hatred. Fuck your shoes. https://t.co/38MK86msM2# p #6_8 # ad skipped = true #

The start of the year might be a romantic time as well, since Venus will be in a highly favorable position to Aries from January 19th 2018 on. It's an ideal time to meet with friends or start family activities as well. The sun's position, however, might bring some challenges with it.
The planets will continue to foster friendships in February 2018. Aries are great communicators, and Venus will be emphasizing their gentle side as well. It's an ideal time to make new contacts.

Mercury will also be in Aries from March 7th through the 13th. Understanding and mutual communication will be working hand in hand during this time. This period will definitely be a good one in terms of your career, and Aries will experience the intellectual high point of the year as well. Venus will also be contributing to this most wonderful month of the year too. From March 7th through the end of the month, it will be remaining in Aries, using all its power to promote interpersonal relationships.
In June 2018, the sun will help Aries make great decisions, and Mercury will be contributing good discussions and success as well.The sun will move into Cancer in the middle of the month, which might be a more difficult time. In addition, Mercury will be forming a square, which might lead to uncomfortable misunderstandings.
A time to reflect
July 2018 will see moments of calm reflection when it comes to love. Venus will be in Virgo during this time (through 8/6). Is there an area where you need change or renewal? Express your wishes very clearly, and pay attention to what your partner needs too.
August 2018 will be another period focused on change. In addition, an error from the past might come back to haunt you.
Love will reign from September to December
As Venus moves into Scorpio, Aries can look forward to another good romantic period starting on September 10th 2018. October 2018 will continue to be a great time for love. This month might include the most intense weeks of the year. Things will also get really exciting when Venus goes into retrograde starting on 10/6. An old love might be crossing your path, so keep your eyes open!
Jupiter rushes to provide support
November 2018 will be another great time, and Aries will be feeling especially passionate and lively thanks to Venus and the sun. In addition, Jupiter has some great news in store:The lucky planet will be entering the sign Sagittarius on 11/9, and will be treating Aries to a special boost of support, energy, and exciting opportunities through December 2nd of 2019.

Since Church of the Spiral Tree (CST) is a religious organization, i.e., a church, we can legally ordain ministers. This means that our ministers can perform legal weddings, funerals, baptisms, and prison ministry work, along with other ceremonies.
The policies below have been put in place to ensure that CST and our ordained ministers remain committed and connected to each other, and is effective for all ministers ordained in the year 2012 and on.
Eligibility Requirements:
- You must be a currently paid member of Church of the Spiral Tree, and not incarcerated.
- You must have been a paid member of CST for at least one year previous to applying to become a minister.
- You must be at 21 years of age.
- Your application must include a photocopy or scan (front and back) of official picture ID; e.g. driver's license, student ID, state ID, work ID, etc.
- Your application must include your payment of $50 for the ordination fee.
- Paid members of CST who are currently incarcerated are not eligible to apply for ordination through CST.
- The President of CST reserves the right, as Head Chaplain for all ministerial functions, to deny and/or revoke any ordination as determined by vote of the Ministerial Committee and the Board of Directors that said minister has misrepresented him/herself or CST; or has behaved in a manner that is inconsistent with the policies or bylaws of CST or behaves verbally or physically in a manner that has a negative impact on the reputation or credibility of CST.
- It is the responsibility of all ministers to be informed of, and conduct ministerial work in accordance with local, state, and federal laws.
Ordination is for Three-Year Period:
Your ordination will be good for a period of three years, during which you must maintain your paid CST membership. After this three-year period, and if you still meet the eligibility requirements and your membership has been maintained continuously, you may apply to renew your ordination ($25 fee).
Maintaining Paid Membership:
If the paid CST membership is not maintained during this three-year period or at any time thereafter, the ordination will lapse 30 days after the membership lapses. After renewing your membership, you may apply again to become ordained, for a $50 fee.
How to Become Ordained:
The ordination process begins with your application along with the $50 fee. Your application will be reviewed by the Board of Directors. If you are not approved, $40 of your fee will be refunded.
If ordained, you will be entered into our database, and will soon receive your certificate of ordination and a card to carry with you.
Replacement or Updated Documents:
At any time while your ordination and membership are both current, you may have your ministerial documents (the certificate and clergy card) replaced or updated; the fee for this is $20. A $5 discount is offered if your membership is renewed at the same time as the replacement or updated credentials are requested.
Church of the Spiral Tree Ministers' Statement of Purpose
Church of the Spiral Tree (CST), as a legally and federally recognized religious organization with 501(c)3 status, incorporated in the State of Alabama, exercises its right to ordain individuals as ministers. This does not confer the title of 'Elder,' 'Priestess' or 'Priest.' The purpose for ordaining ministers is to provide legal status to individuals who wish to serve their communities as facilitators of rites of commitment (marriage), baptismal rites, and funerals. CST acknowledges that the scope of ministerial work is not limited to facilitating these rites, and we encourage each individual to develop their own ministry work as their conscience guides them, and as their level of knowledge and expertise allows. CST ministers should demonstrate positive ethical principles, conduct themselves with honor and integrity; and endeavor to possess the skills and knowledge to perform the general and/or specialized functions that ministerial status confers. It is the hope of CST that by ordaining ministers, we may impact our communities in beneficial ways through service, education, and interfaith relations.
Definition of Minister:
A minister is a member of clergy, who is authorized (ordained) by a church or religious/spiritual organization to perform certain functions that are defined by the authorizing body. Basic ministerial functions are: 1) to facilitate rituals or ceremonies for rites of commitment (legally recognized marriages or handfastings), rites of 'baptism' (baby blessing/naming/Paganing/Wiccaning), and funerary rites, and may also perform last rites for the dying. Further functions of an ordained minister may include interfaith work, prison ministry and hospital ministry; and provide pastoral counseling such as pre-marital and marital counseling, individual counseling, and grief counseling.
TO BEGIN THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ORDINATION, PRINT THE ORDINATION APPLICATION, FILL OUT, SIGN, AND MAIL YOUR CHECK OR MONEY (OR PAY VIA PAYPAL) ALONG WITH A PHOTOCOPY OF YOUR CURRENT DRIVER'S LICENSE OR OTHER OFFICIAL PICTURE IDOrdination Application

inshun Targeted Individuals Morgellons Fibro Myalgia Cancer REAL CURE CC low audio
My name is Greg Blaut and I am making this tutorial for the targeted individuals out there in hopes that relating some of the knowledge that I have acquired over the years of being one myself can possibly help them out, to get them through their situation. I have a lot of knowledge about all of it. I don't really know what I should say in the tutorials, and what I don't. I am just making different tutorials trying to figure out which one to use. I think in this one I am going to just give a total smattering of basically all of the information that I have learned in a concise tutorial, as well as what I have figured out to, in my opinion, be a solution to the problem. OK, well I have been a targeted individual for geez, you know,.
I don't even know long, maybe 30 years or so. I have been a victim of directed energy manipulation and attack for over 25 years. There was a period of intensive gang stalking and street theater, you know all about that. That's kind of how I. Actually the electronics is what i noticed first and I was wondering, you know, I didn't really know a lot about it at the time, but you know, it was minimal. After that, a few years went by and I was gang stalked for a long time, all the tactics were used. Along with that was some more directed energy, but I didn't realize that was really, they were both together, I thought it was basically just the gang stalking, and not all of the electronics with it, but it was. It was the.
Full gamut, It was like I had the full boat, and I didn't realize about the electronics as much then. But apparently that didn't work. And then after a while it was heavy duty, attack, directed energy, I mean I have had RF burns. just the other night I had burns on my fingers for Christs sake. I have artificial intelligence based entities, in my head 247365, and I have had them for over 10 years. And it was brutal at first, man, it was just a total attack. But anyway, I don't really need to go into that right now. I want to offer more of the solution in this first tutorial, at least, and kind of relate what I think maybe it's all about, and just try to help you some. In my case, I had a spot right back here on the back of my head, that grew.
A bunch of hair into my body over basically my whole life, I mean at least since I was a kid. Maybe it was some kind of birth defect, I don't know, I don't think that is what it is, but it's possible, or an injury when I was very young, I didn't know about it. I don't really think that's what mostly this is, but it is possible, I guess, on some people that's probably what it's come from. Other people, maybe it's just transmitted from somebody else. But anyway, along with being under attack from external forces, I was under attack from within my own body and that was just as bad, eventually, and I had to either figure out what to do or die. I am sure that is what would have happened if I would'nt have come up with.
Something. And, so after intensive research I have found what I consider to be a cure, or a good solution to the problem, at least the problem I have. Now I don't know if all of the targeted individuals have the same thing, maybe that's what it is all about, I really don't know. The world is so crazy these days that maybe that is what most of it is about, maybe that is what is all about, I am not sure. But, anyway, the solution I have found is sulfur soap basically. And what I do with this, this is 10 percent sulfur soap, nothing else. I take it and I grind it up into like a fine powder and I put water in it, and then I make a cream out of it. I put it into a little pump bottle like this.
Right here, and I take some of it and pump it on. I put a little bit of it on to the soap there, the cream, and then I take it and I rub it into my body, not really into me. I don't really want into me as much, I want it into that problem, and it's pretty much everywhere in me. And so I rub it down inside of here real good, deep as I can get it. And I rub it on my head, you know, maybe in the front, and behind the ears, sometimes in the lower back area. I have rubbed it into my feet before, and lower legs, and sometimes I have rubbed it like on my shoulder blades, especially this. Mine was on one particular side, and it was worse on one side so I kind of hit that, and on the top of the (fore)arms.
That delivery method is not real precise, so it's not like taking a pill, you have to figure out how much you can handle. Sometimes you get a little bit too much, and it's not easy. You have to drink a lot of water. That's probably the key, just to preserve your internal organs. I have been doing it for over 10 years and I'm still here, so apparently it's not hurting me too much. And what I do, the way I kind of handle it is I use that sulfur, and then I immediately go out and do hard exercise, you know a couple hours worth of intense cardio, and that really helps a lot. With that, and a lot of water, I bring a lot of water with me while I'm doing my exercise, and I want to sweat as much as I can basically.
Using sulfur soap to cure Morgellons Fibro Arthritis Cancer Tips and Techniques 1 low audio
Alright, today I am going to be talking more about the use of the sulfur soap, and more of just trying to give you more of my knowledge of having been using it for quite some time now, years. The sulfur element itself is pretty abundant. I think it is like number fifteen or sixteen on the list, somewhere in that area, of the most abundant elements, on earth at least anyway, probably more abundant in the universe. So you already have a lot of it in your body. So, you know, maybe that's the way I've been able to use it for so long, and not be that affected by it as far as I can tell. I'm not a medical , I don't have formal training in the medical field. I have done a lot of intensive research, in the area, on the internet.
So have some knowledge. I don't know if this is really going to pertain to you or not. I would definitely suggest getting alternate medical advice before you use anything that I am going to give you here. So, since the sulfur is such an abundant element, If you start using it and start getting like a. you think that you are getting an alergic reaction from it, that may not be the sulfur, that's probably the stuff that the sulfur is getting after, and it's getting mad, and it doesn't like it so, it's a tough one to say, that's would I would think. That's what happened with me. I was not allergic to the sulfur. Any kind of reaction I had, that was the stuff that the sulfur was killing, it was fighting back.
The amount to use is probably going to vary by your body weight, I would imagine. I'm pretty heavy, right now, I'm about 260 pounds or so. I use about four pea sized (glops of the sulfur soap cream) total But I think that you could probably use a little bit more in the beginning, because in the beginning, that stuff (soap) has permeated my body, and permeated those areas for so long, so I'm pretty saturated and it just slowly eminates out of the stuff that I have driven it into. And so you are probably not going to have that problem as much in the beginning, but you definitely don't want to use too much. It's rough, I mean you can do it, but you just have to do more exercise and drink a lot more water. So, I would say when.
You want to use it, at the most, in certain areas, you want to use about a pea sized glop on the soap. You want kind of a small amount, but you need enough to where it kind of slides. The sulfur soap is not very slippery (when dry). Unless, I guess, depending upon what other soap you are using, Maybe your soap is going to be a little more slippery than the stuff I am using. I probably tend to say avoid the slippery stuff (soap with extra lubricant) because you probably want that stuff (the problem) especially in the beginning coming apart as slowly as possible. So, I would try to avoid using the soap that has any kind of lubricants in it or whatever because it's going to want to make that stuff (hair).
Come apart faster. So try to use the smallest amount possible to do the job. Because you are going to have to hit a few different areas, you know, multiple areas. A lot of times I find that I have to try to. go light on it (use less sulfur soap) so I use like a half a pea (or less) then it doesn't slide very good but sometimes you have to kind of adjust. Now if you start having problems with, you know, stuff (disease, etc.) wants to get away from that (sulfur) so kinda wants to go to different areas of your body, you know it likes to move around to get away from that sulfur, so if it starts getting to your ears, to me the wax that kind of builds up in there is the best solution. But, if it's too much for that, and you have.
To get all that wax out of there, I have taken globs of it and put it on Qtips and rubbed it in there to get that stuff to go away from your ear area, that is not the preferred solution, the wax is in my opinion, but sometimes I have had to do it, but I try to get away from it whenever I can and just go back to the wax. It seems to work, you know you don't have to use as much sulfur then. That's what you want to try to do. For your nose, I wear the expanding strips that kind of opens your nose up, the Breathe Right type strips. I rub some alcohol on my nose. That helps that stuff stick. I only wear that at night though, to sleep. Your eyes, you know, you probably maybe want to rub some of that kind of close towards.
The inside corners of your eyes right there (on the nose though), to get a little bit of that more back into your eyes there, that might help. Your mouth, you want to try to keep your mouth as clean as possible, maybe brush a couple of times a day, just like normal. I make my own mouthwash. I use Listerine as one component, because the alcohol is really the best for killing any of those germs, and I actually add flouride to mine. It just helps with the teeth. I like flouride, but just as a mouth wash really. I don't have any preference as far as if it's in the water, it's fine with me. Make sure you floss all the time. Also, I have found, I mean at least for me, I don't know if this is going be your case, but uh, I use like a night.

Informatics is an applied form of information science. It involves the practice of information processing and the engineering of information systems. Informatics considers the interaction between humans and information by exploring interfaces, organizations, technologies, and systems. It is information technology applied to human problems.
Informatics as a discipline is closely related to, but distinct from, such fields as computer science, information science and other traditional disciplines related to information technology. It is more general, basic and applied than any of these related disciplines; more general in that it emphasizes breadth across issues in all of the related disciplines, and includes social and ethical issues regarding the information revolution; more basic in that it examines foundational questions about the very nature of information and computation; and more applied since the aim is to produce qualified information technology professionals to meet the rapidly rising need.

The film had some shows starting at 07:00am and 08:00am to multiplexes and even those were at 60-70%.
Mind-blowing start in north India and Rajasthan multiplex multiplex are phenomenal. One of the screens will start later and its a foregone conclusion that the opening will be bumper.
Now, it remains to be seen if the opening is historical or bumper and that will be known when the circuit total exit. It would not be surprised if it is not ready to beat some of the earliest recordings circuit Dabangg days. Rajasthan seems to have a good chance. READY across a box office opening of Mega.

Spoiler Warning: The following review contains spoilers for "Kindred" & "Crawler Commandeers" as well as previous episodes of "Star Wars Rebels."
One episode away from the mid-season break, "Star Wars Rebels" continues on the Ghost Crew's arc on Lothal, setting up what should be a great mid-season finale. The episode "Kindred" gives us further insight into what roles the loth-wolves play in our heroes' story, while "Crawler Commandeers" take us back with what felt like a fun one-off adventure from season one.
Probably my favorite of this week's double feature, "Kindred" finds the crew securing the hyperdrive from the crashed TIE Defender from last week's episode, enabling Hera and Chopper to return to Yavin IV and deliver the vital intel on the Imperial ship. Before Hera departs, we get a moment between her and Kanan, who share the first kiss we've seen from the two. Unfortunately for the Ghost Crew, Thrawn dispatches his personal bodyguard Rukh, a ruthless killer of the Noghri species. Rukh is most notable for his debut in the Thrawn trilogy, a series of books by Timothy Zahn that are arguably what kept "Star Wars" alive and relevant in between the Original and Prequel trilogies. This incarnation of the character is just as menacing as intended, and while we only get a small tease of what he can do, I'm extremely excited to see where he goes this season.
After Hera and Chopper make it off planet, the rest of the crew are forced to follow the loth-wolves deep into the caves of the Lothal mountains after being surrounded by Imperial forces. The wolves lead them further into darkness, and eventually the crew find themselves waking up on the other side of the planet. The animation that segues this transition was beautiful to watch, taking cues from the look of hyperspace travel, further expanding on the force sensitivity of these loth-wolves. At the end of the episode, we are treated to the confirmation that the main wolf is indeed referring to Kanan when uttering the phrase 'Dume.' Fans online have speculated to the wolf's relation to Ahsoka Tano, as it bears facial markings similar to those of Anakin Skywalker's former apprentice. While Dave Filoni has already confirmed she is not the wolf, I do think its no coincidence and believe we'll see what that means soon.
Most notable of Rukh's appearance this episode is likely his voice by Warwick Davis, which is made particularly more terrifying with the processing put on it. Warwick is no stranger to "Star Wars," first playing Wicket the Ewok in "Return of the Jedi" as a young boy, and making a number of cameos as different characters in "Star Wars" films afterwards. We also get a chance to see Governor Price in the customary Imperial officer field uniform, something first seen from General Veers in "The Empire Strikes Back" during the invasion of Hoth.
"Crawler Commandeers"
After setting up a temporary base where the wolves left them last episode, the crew attempt to take over a crawler used in sapping the planet of its natural resources, so that its long-range communications can be used to contact Yavin base. Meanwhile on Yavin IV, Hera is attempting to convince Rebel command of launching a strike on the Imperial facility producing TIE Defenders on Lothal. In short, the crew on Lothal are able to take control of the crawler after dealing with its lizard-like Trandoshan captain and lackey, allowing them to reach Hera on Yavin. While in the crawlers work area, Kanan also discovers the smuggler Vizago has become one of the slaves on board, who humorously believes that the crew came just to rescue him alone.
Despite serving only to set up next week's episode with the strike on Lothal, this is still a very fun episode in terms of action and humor especially. One scene sees Zeb going up against a whip wielding Trandoshan slaver named Proach, who's bodytype is reminiscent of that of Pat Roach. Pat played the German mechanic that Indy fights in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," as well as the slaver in "Temple of Doom," which this character was most obviously inspired by. The fight itself is very Indiana Jones-esque, with its brawler nature and obvious musical cues that come up during it.
The sort of antagonist for the episode is the crawlers captain, Seevor, who is revealed to be in a bloodline of Trandoshans that run the crawler. The character meets a bit of a grisly end when he slips on Ezra's lightsaber, causing him to fall into the crawlers furnace-like engine. The character is voiced by Seth Green, an actor and director who is probably most notable for his work on the "Robot Chicken" series, which has had its own shorts based around "Star Wars." This is actually not Seth's first time working with Lucasfilm animation, the first being him voicing the droid to bounty hunter Cad Bane, Todo 360, who also meets an unfortunate death. Most importantly, Seth Green was actually working with George Lucas to make an animated parody series called "Star Wars Detours," which was cancelled shortly after Disney's buyout in 2013. While we only have a trailer to go off of what the series would have likely been, the first episodes were supposedly completed and are still sitting unreleased at Lucasfilm.
Even though "Crawler Commandeers" may have been the weakest of this week's episodes, it still tells a fun story and sets up what looks like an exciting strike on the Imperial factory next week. "Kindred" is also one of the standouts from the season so far, teasing whats to come with the newly introduced villain and of the relationship between Kanan and Hera. The kiss between Hera and Kanan was such a sweet moment, I only hope it doesn't serve to foreshadow what may be Kanan's fate by series end. Thrawn also makes a minor appearance like previous episodes in the season, which I hope changes by the time the season ends. Unfortunately, this week's double feature looks to be the last for right now, with next week's mid-season finale appearing to only be a single episode. You can catch the mid-season finale for yourself when it airs on Disney XD next Monday at 9 p.m.

Most people would equate teenage life as a time of rebellion, rowdiness, fun and frolic, friendships and first loves. It is also the start of your life as an adult; especially you are now presently shedding your childhood look and perceptions. This would also be the perfect time for you to prepare for your future college and career.
Get Involved – There's living and there's really living it. Your life will most likely revolve around school your neighborhood and home. Get the most of both worlds by getting involved with your friends, classmates and family. Make yourself available during family functions. Volunteer for civic projects in your locality. Join your school's extra-curricular activities. Visit your friends. There are a many ways to make a difference and you might as well start now.
Improve Yourself – Having people accept who you are doesn't mean you can't be a better you. Learn a new skill. Hone a long-standing talent. Find experts who can mentor you on your existing skill-set. Ask to be enrolled in a college preparatory high school in Salt Lake City like cityacademyslc.org and start preparing for adult life from there. Aim to get passing, if not high, grades. Aim to be the best you while bettering yourself in the process.
Start or Join Relevant Groups – Whether it's a community, social-awareness, skill or hobby group, as long as it reflects your own interests, opinions and abilities then go ahead and join. If you can manage it, join more than one. Thanks to social media, you can easily find like-minded individuals who are active in promoting their pursuits and pastimes. Remember to join their projects and activities so you can meet members personally. You can also start your own group and connect with other similar parties.
Teenage life is the best springboard for a proper and well-founded adult lifestyle. How you turn out now would reflect on what you will be when you already have a career and family so start living a full life now. At least, as full a life as a teenager like you can manage for now.

Okay, so there a few reasons our traditional (and independent) type bookstores are dying out. I still think there is and will be a need for a physical space to sell books. This space may still be called a bookstore. Yet, I think I'd rather have bookstores closer aligned to publishers or printers.
Print on Demand
I really have little information about publishers, but wouldn't it be great if they could work more with a Print-on-demand model? The Wikipedia article on POD mentions that small publishers are already doing that. Publishers can control how many copies of a book is printed and reprint on demand. One fellow on the panel (mentioned in the previous post on bookstores) that indeed the quality of POD books is actually pretty decent. Following the publisher-as-bookseller model, this could mean titles can have a longer lifespan. Having POD in store means that books never have to go out of print, and that a customer has a greater chance to buy a title that might not otherwise be in stock. There are bookstores, chain and independent, that already have Espresso Book machines. Oscar's Art Books, a specialized bookstore in Vancouver has a machine because they don't want to "go the way of the dodo" like many other bookstores.
Growing a Niche
In that session at Con*Cept, there was talk of how local niche bookstores in Montreal have closed (e.g. Nebula Books). Yet, I think there is still room for niche bookstores. Obviously, Oscar's Art Books mentioned above has found a niche and has managed to keep itself going despite a nearby chain store.The difficulty of sustaining a niche bookstore is maintaining a customer base. Currently, focussing on people living in the vicinity who may be interested in that niche isn't enough. A niche bookstore has to reach out to all readers, regardless of location. Of course this means that they would be competing with other niche bookstores but that's when the business savvy comes in. Previously I mentioned I usually buy books by authors I've had some sort of connection with; it's the same for bookstores. Does your store have readings? Does your store interact on Twitter? Does it blog? How do you reach out to your customers who are both local and not? A niche bookstore has to offer all the services a chain does but they don't have to feel like a big chain. That's the advantage – booksellers knowing their product and patrons better than anyone else.
Another reason I think publishers should turn into the booksellers, is the e-book market. I just think it'd be a lot easier to buy an e-book direct from a publisher, than all the extra steps of getting one through a store. I don't think I have ever bought an e-book (I've only downloaded public domain or free ones) but I did buy an e-audiobook once and that I did through the publisher's website. Again, at that panel during the Science-Fiction Convention, someone in the audience (I think) brought up the point that because we do like to browse books, she could envision a time when a person would just go into a store with their e-reader, look at book covers and download whatever they wanted. There are people already who go to the big bookstores that have wifi and then purchase the titles they want online instead of in the store. If publishers become the e-book sellers themselves, they have greater control of licensing and access issues, they can decide title by title if they want the level of DRM, if any. I've also heard one author write that she pre-sells her books as e-books so as to gauge interest and to get a feel of how many print copies she'll need.
I think my thoughts are all over the place on this which is why I'm writing it out here, so all of you can have your say or comment or write your own posts. There's so much being written on the topic of books and bookstores. It would be sad to see all physical bookstores go since they are a great place for reading events, but I do certainly see that change is possible.

Best Clarisonic Dupe: Bella Beauty Skin Solutions Cleansing System
I normally am not one to venture into the wild abyss of finding new beauty products, only because my skin is so sensitive; but this product is DEFINITELY the exception!
If you follow me on Instagram (@popofstyle) you know that I recently picked this skin cleansing system up as part of my TJ Maxx haul. I love this so much I felt compelled to share with you all. The price is so low you literally cannot beat it. For $17, you get a pumice stone for your feet, a body scrubber for body exfoliation, a face exfoliating brush, a moisturizer applicator, and a battery-operated scrubbing apparatus that you attach them to.
I have done this every single night since I purchased it and my skin has never felt so clean or so soft. I feel like I haven't really been washing my face and I have now SEEN THE LIGHT! I've been wanting a Clarisonic for years but I never would pony up the dough. I've been skeptical to try others thinking that they would never measure up. But for the money, I thought- what the heck, I'll give it a whirl! I am so glad I did!
I start by wetting my face, then applying my new favorite face cleanser, Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Cooling Foaming Scrub. (huge name, but this stuff feels so good!) I attach the face scrubber and go to town for about a minute. I rinse, then dry and apply my night creme, Lumene Pure Radiance Vitamin C Night Cream onto the moisturizer applicator and use it to apply evenly onto my face.
Such a simple routine, and it really makes a difference. I'm finding that my makeup is staying on better and my face seems a lot more radiant and bright. And…(knock on wood) I haven't had a breakout since I've used it! The brush isn't too harsh like I've heard some of them can be, and the moisturizer applicator is perfect for making sure the lotion is applied evenly and without any oil from your hands.
If I had one beauty recommendation it would be to buy this. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed!

California enters the Union.
miners flooding the hillsides and devastating the land, California's
Indians find themselves deprived of their traditional food sources
and forced by hunger to raid the mining towns and other white settlements.
Miners retaliate by hunting Indians down and brutally abusing them.
The California legislature responds to the situation with an Indenture
Act which establishes a form of legal slavery for the native peoples
of the state by allowing whites to declare them vagrant and auction
off their services for up to four months. The law also permits whites
to indenture Indian children, with the permission of a parent or
friend, and leads to widespread kidnapping of Indian children, who
are then sold as "apprentices."
The United States and representatives of the Lakota, Cheyenne,
Arapaho, Crow, Arikara, Assiniboin, Mandan, Gros Ventre and other
tribes sign the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, intended to insure
peace on the plains. The treaty comes as increasing numbers of whites
-- gold seekers, settlers and traders -- make the trek westward,
and as Native Americans react to this invasion by attacking wagon
trains and, more often, warring against one another for territorial
treaty divides the plains into separate tracts assigned to each
tribe, who agree to remain on their own land, to cease their attacks
on each other and on white migrants and to recognize the right of
the United States to establish roads and military outposts within
their territories. In return, the United States pledges that each
tribe will retain possession of its assigned lands forever, that
they will be protected by U.S. troops from white intruders and that
they will each receive $50,000 in supplies and provisions annually
for the next fifty years. Both sides agree to settle any future
disputes, whether between tribes or between Indians and whites,
through restitution.
Unfortunately, the chiefs who sign the Fort Laramie Treaty do not
have the authority over their tribes that the United States negotiators
assume, and the negotiators themselves cannot deliver the protections
and fair treatment they promise.
Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe, galvanizes
public opinion against slavery and stiffens its defenders in the
year's end, more than 20,000 Chinese immigrants have come to America,
all but 17 arriving at San Francisco to join in the search for gold.
Most are part of a Cantonese emigrant labor pool that has worked
throughout South Asia for generations, and they view California
as but another place to practice their itinerant trade. In most
cases, they arrive indebted to Chinese merchants who have paid for
their passage, and this network of debt, reinforced by village and
kinship loyalties, makes the immigrant Chinese community highly
organized and, at the same time, keeps it insulated from mainstream
American society. Thus, even in the remotest mining camp, the Chinese
live within a system of obligations that links back to their home.

Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s new hops-based CBD product has made waves in the media, changing the way we talk about access to CBD.
The media in the U.S. can't get enough of Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s newest CBD product – RSHO-K™. An innovative new non-cannabis CBD source of CBD, RSHO-K™ makes CBD available to those who are looking to avoid exposure to cannabis for the first time in the Medical Marijuana, Inc. store.
Over a dozen media outlets have provided coverage of this exciting new non-cannabis CBD product, giving product reviews and revealing the interesting origin of this remarkable new product. Here are some highlights from that media coverage.
What is RSHO-K™?
RSHO-K™ is created with an extract of the Humulus kriya plant, a unique variety of hops found in India. Humulus kriya was discovered as a new source of CBD less than a decade ago by a team of doctors looking for an alternative to cannabis. It naturally contains high levels of CBD, as well as the terpenes beta-caryophyllene and humulene. The plant was selectively bred to further increase its CBD levels, creating a patented extract called ImmunAg™, the main ingredient in RSHO-K™.
Already widely used as an ingredient in the food and beverage industries, Humulus extracts are listed as GRAS – generally regarded as safe – by the FDA and is FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) approved, meaning they are available in a greater number of markets than cannabis-based products.
Some consumers are interested in taking a CBD supplement but are hesitant to use products derived from cannabis. Now, they can take CBD products sourced from Kriya brand Humulus and avoid cannabis completely. Because the CBD in RSHO-K™ is sourced from Kriya brand Humulus, a variety of the hops plant, rather than cannabis, it is also THC-free.
Media Coverage
Since its launch, RSHO-K™ has garnered coverage in a number of media outlets interested in this exciting new product and how it will affect the rapidly growing CBD market.
A Westword article published last week examined the discovery of this non-cannabis option for CBD extraction. "Discovered by Bomi Joseph in the Silk Road region of northern India, kriya brand humulus is naturally endowed with a high concentration of CBD," the article reads.
The article continues, "Through a partnership with distributor Medical Marijuana Inc. (which previously made headlines as the first publicly traded cannabis company in the U.S.), what's now known as ImmunAG is combined with medium-chain triglyceride oil to form RSHO-K. Last month, Medical Marijuana Inc. made the product available to consumers nationwide via its online store."
Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus was quoted in a Fresh Toast article that discussed RSHO-K™ saying, "non-cannabis based product will not only provide new evidence of the benefits of CBD, but will also help people understand the value of phytoceuticals. We also look to introduce and educate people/consumers on the new concept of 'bioactivity' into CBD's potential health and wellness benefits."
Cannabis news and culture website Puff Puff Post published a feature article exploring the benefits of RSHO-K™. Dr. Bomi Joseph, creator of ImmunAg™, was quoted in the article saying, ""The company has established significant global reach and together we can reach even more people who want to try CBD but don't want to consume cannabis products."
RSHO-K™ was reviewed on My Beauty Bunny alongside other CBD products. The article thoroughly explored CBD, its effects, and its status in the U.S. It also revealed the significance of RSHO-K™ as a source of CBD that isn't cannabis, opening access to new markets and freeing users from exposure to even trace levels of THC.
The Marijuana Observer also covered the introduction of RSHO-K™ to the Medical Marijuana, Inc. lineup of products and explored the many features that set non-cannabis RSHO-K™ apart. Coverage was also provided by Merry Jane, Civilized, 420 Intel, Hemp Gazette, and more.

LONDON (AP) — Michael Phelps insists there's no hard feelings about teammate Tyler Clary questioning his work ethic, though it will surely be used as motivation for the Olympics.
LONDON (AP) — Michael Phelps insists there's no hard feelings about teammate Tyler Clary questioning his work ethic, though it will surely be used as motivation for the Olympics.
The potential rift within the U.S. team was apparently patched up when Clary apologized to Phelps in person and expressed regrets to the entire U.S. team.
But Phelps' coach, Bob Bowman, made a not-so-subtle reference to Clary during a news conference Thursday attended by several hundred media, two days before the start of the swimming competition.
"The thing that makes Michael great is the work," Bowman said, without even getting a question about Clary. "He worked as hard as anybody could possibly work."
Phelps is the winningest Olympian ever with 14 gold medals, which made the comments by Clary especially puzzling. He told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that he "saw a real lack of preparation" by Phelps during their year training together at the University of Michigan.
Clary implied that Phelps got by on his natural talent, while others had to work hard.
"Some people like to express their feelings with words," said Phelps, who captured a record eight gold medals in Beijing. "That's fine. I've gotten where I'm at by working hard. I know that. Bob knows that."
Phelps said Clary came to his room during the pre-Olympic training camp, and they spoke for about 10 minutes.
"He said everything was taken out of context. He apologized," Phelps said. "He didn't need to do that. Whatever he said, he said. But we are teammates. We come as one, we leave as one."
Clary, not surprisingly, wasn't among the swimmers made available to the media on Thursday.
But he has expressed his regrets about creating a distraction and said he should have kept any comments focused on himself.
Besides apologizing to Phelps, Clary spoke with the entire U.S. team at a meeting.
"He said he was sorry," American star Ryan Lochte said. "That's all he can do. We accept it and move on."

Food waste Friday – always read the small printAdd article to favourites
After a resounding success last week with zero food waste; I got caught out!
I use a lot of alternative sweeteners in baking such as fructose, agave syrup and honey. Ages ago I bought some maple syrup to use in place of golden syrup in recipes.
I used a little of it in one recipe and put it in the cupboard.
This week I decided to play in the kitchen and experiment with some new ideas. I decided to use maple syrup as the agave had run out. I was delighted to find the maple syrup in the shop in a glass bottle with a metal lid – this was part of the reason I bought it as so many syrups and sweeteners are in squeezy plastic bottles.
I reached for the bottle and was shocked to see a little bit of mould on the top.
It was only a small amount, but I was unsure whether to use it, so I ditched it.
I looked on the label and lo and behold there were instructions to keep refrigerated once opened. I was very surprised because good old tate and lyle golden syrup will last for years in the cupboard. I should know, I've found perfectly good syrup in a rusty tin before now.
So let that be a lesson to me; always read the small print.
What about you – have you ever been caught out by not storing food properly?
Remember, if you blog about food waste, go and add your name and comment to Kristen's Frugal girl website and check out how others are doing too!

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is not one to tolerate dissension in the ranks.
Travis County, Texas, home of the state capital, Austin, may lose millions in state funding because of the county's sanctuary policies when a bill outlawing them passes the state legislature, reports Breitbart.
The legislation, S.B. 4, contains provisions to cut funding from any "local entity" refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
According to the bill, which has already passed the Texas Senate:
"A local entity may not receive state grant funds if the entity adopts, enforces, or endorses a policy under which the entity prohibits or discourages the enforcement of immigration laws or, by consistent actions, prohibits or discourages the enforcement of immigration laws."
Unfortunately for Travis County, what's at stake is a staggering $125 million in state and federal grants that come from the governor's office, according to Abbott's spokesman, John Wittman, speaking with Breitbart.
At this time, "(t)he governor's office is currently evaluating how much of that $125 million could be taken away under S.B. 4."
The sheriff of the county, "Sanctuary Sally" Hernandez, has been under fire from conservatives for following what she says is her own conscience with regard to immigration cooperation rather than following any objective guidelines like, say, the laws she's supposed to be enforcing.
"I just don't think you solve the criminal justice process by deporting (illegals). We talk about being progressive. I believe we need to lead the way," she said last August in an interview with the Texas Tribune.
Apparently, Hernandez believes that the better way to solve the "criminal justice process" is by ignoring the rule of law.
Now, if this bill passes as expected, it could cost the county millions.
