For those who have successfully abstained for long periods of time, what were the effects? Did your penis get thicker/firmer?
I read somewhere that overmasturbation can cause base girth to shrink, but it can return to normal size after abstaining. I also read somewhere that the penis conforms to the size of the hole (which the hand emulates) that it is inseted into, so masturbating at a young age would cause my penis not to expand in girth and it is too late now. What was your guys' experience?
ThanksThere is another way that you can stop porn addiction, chronic masturbation and recover your sexual health without fighting it with willpower. With the right mindset you won't even relapse. You can learn more about the recovery program hereSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:26 pm #3773
One of my symptoms is lack of girth/ penis hard in flaccid state which come right after ejaculation and slowly dissapear over time. When I just got this, one week of abstaining would usually be enough for the normal girth, length and sensation to return. Now it seems I need more than a week :S
I checked out the site you found. It was a good read. The guy that started the site (who has/had SE) tries to offer solutions but they are his assumptions. I really appreciate him trying to help everyone but we have to not forget that he's not a doctor.
So he says that abstaining for a month will bring back the normal shape, and it's true. I've abstained for exactly a month last month. First 2 weeks – little improvement/ sex drive. Week 3 and 4 – mixed feelings. One day I'd be horny, one day no sex drive at all, it could even vary by the hour. Then by the end of week 4 I pretty much got my length, girth and everything back. But again it wouldn't stay consistent day after day. Each time I got high during week 4, sex drive, size, sensation would be back to 100% every time. Then one day I gave in and finally jerked off to see what would happen. Next morning: lost girth, lost length, no sex drive. It's been a week or more since then and still very little improvement. Very fucking frustrating.
So abstaining for a month definitely helps but not for good. It's probably not enough time to adress the root of the issue which is adrenals and whatever else. So I say if you started abstaining shoot for 6 months or more. I'm pretty convinced that abstaining for a month is not enough to adress the girth/ length issue.
But then Akgstone83 just posted that he's abstained for 9 months with little results.. so I don't even know what to say now :SSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:27 pm #3775
Yes, abstaining of course is very healthful and I'd reccomend it, but for my case I have learned that it isn't enough. If the case of exhaustion is severe, which mine is, then a full or 3 quarters or heck even half recovery isn't feasible. My T levels are still at the mid 400s and I have successfully abstained for over 9 months and counting. I just started testosterone today for the very first time. I will be taking 2 shots a week at the recommendation of a buddy of mine for 3 months to see if any improvements will occur. My quadricep is a little bruised from the injection, but other than that I'm fine. I will keep everyone posted on whether or not I make progress. I am sure that everyone here has adrenal fatigue, low hormones, and neuro imbalances. This all cannot be corrected fully with abstaining, proper diet, excercise, sleep, meditation, herbs, and relaxation alone. The body has been damaged and needs to be given more. I pray to god testosterone is the missing link for me. I want more energy, better moods, more motivation, and of course a healthy sex drive.September 14, 2013 at 12:27 pm #3777
yeah that site is alright.. i just got really excited when i first saw the page explaining how overmasturbation causes that penis shape and how he said it can be cured. but after reading his responses on the forum i can see that this guy really doesnt know all that much and is just really burnt out and made the site b/c he has nothing better to do. he's pretty spot on with a lot of the stuff he has to say though.
, are you just talking about your flaccid girth? i know what your talking about, sometimes my dick gets really fucking skinny when its flaccid, but i dont really care so much about that; its the erect girth im after. did you notice an increase in erect girth after abstaining?
i'm also not worried about about my length at all even though its shrunk a bit. i used to be 8", now i'm 7. even when it's flaccid its pretty long, like 3-5 inches.
although my girth isn't very good, im more concerned about my shape. my glans is about 4.5 inches around, the shaft right below is like 5.1, then it gets skinner as it approaches the base, reaching a final girth of 4.5. the average is probably like 4.7. the reason why i think is bad is b/c most of the nerve endings are in the first few inches of the vagina, so deep thrusting won't be as effective since the 4.5 inch area will be in that spot. also, the thicker part of my penis will stretch the vagina so that the skinnier parts will be less effective. they won't get that "full" feeling. i know im obsessing over this and it seems silly, but i really think this shape is a big impediment for good sex and it's extremely distressing for me.
so basically my questions for u are: a) is your girth smaller at your base/is your shape similar? and b) does your erect girth increase through abstinence, and if so, do it do so to normalize the shape or is it an overall gain?
honestly if i could just get my dick back to normal i'd be soo content. sometimes i'll be in a great mood and then think about this shit and it will instantly make me feel like shit. if i could fix this i would have 100x more confidence and easily be getting pussy. i already know i have the game. this chick i was talking to like all night saturday and hooked up with is all over me and thinks i have "the most interesting conversations".. ahh i could hit that so easily but i want to fix this shit first. worst part is if i had developed normally im almost positive i'd be like 8 inches long and 6 around.. my dad always hints about having a big dick and i know he used to get mad pussy when he was younger. F*ck this shit is so frustrating!
sorry about all the rambling, im kinda in a rush. thanks so much for reading and helping out, i really appreciate it
good luck akgstone! i really hope everything works out for youSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:28 pm #3778
Keep us updated . Hey man I remember you mentioned that you had the hard flaccid issue before but you got over it (thankfully). Can you tell me how you got over it?? How long have you had it for? Any tips? You're pretty much one of the few people that got over it, so I'm sure your advice could help many people here. Thanks.September 14, 2013 at 12:29 pm #3780
Abstaining fixed my hard flaccid state. Every couple of months I noticed firmer harder more engulfed erections. I also keep a very strict walking regimen of at least 5 miles a day, 6 healthy small meals a day packed with fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, and chicken, fish and rarely lean beef. I drink over a gallon a day of distilled water. I take 10 g fish oil per day, along with my multi, and b-complex. And I meditate daily as well. Overall, I just try to stay in a very calm mode, with no agitation or stressors. Of course they occur at times, but I am quick to learn how to keep calm. Deep breathing excercises help too. Lavender teas and chamomile work. If I think of anything else I left out I'll post again. This is the main jist of it.September 14, 2013 at 12:30 pm #3782
umm did abstaining actually make your erect girth bigger? please just answer this simple question, i am dying to know. i can't tell what you guys mean exactly
my bad for going on and on about that shit, i've just really obsessed with it lately and have always been from a young age. i just need to get my facts straight and move on with my lifeSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:31 pm #3783
Alex, after I bust a nut my dick hardens up and the next day it lacks either girth/ length or both and is hard to the touch. Almost always when it lacks girth in the flaccid state, it'll lack girth when erect. And same for length. The only exceptions is if I had been abstaining for over a week, so even if it lacks girth or length when flaccid, erection will still be almost normal size.
When I abstain long enough I get my normal shape back eventually. Basically for like a whole week or two after ejaculating I could lack girth/ length and then out of nowhere over 2 days I'll notice I'm getting my girth and length back. I also notice that I get sex drive back right away. So its like after abstaining for a certain time I magically recover over a day. I don;t know what's responsible for this, but I know that abstaining will give you your normal shape/ girth back. Just wait long enough. Before it used to take me 4-5 days of abstaining to get everything back to normal. Now it takes 2-3 weeks. It's really frustrating. I'm thinking it could be because I stopped working out because my diet and everything else hasn't changed much. I just started workin out again.
I also got a chick that wants to bang. But I'm gonna give the abstaining a try again. Lets do this and see what happens man.September 14, 2013 at 12:32 pm #3785
no worries bro
Yea it makes your erect girth bigger. If you abstain long enough you'll get your normal size and shape back. Just like it was before. It can range from abstaining 5 days to like 5 months. Lets give it a try.
, that's pretty much what I wanted to hear. I already figured on my own that abstaining obviously helps. Throw in the good diet + multi + fish oil + walking + meditation + staying calm = hard flaccid over. The only question left is what happens after you ejaculate finally after so many months? If I get the hard flaccid again I'll be kinda pissed .
How long are you planning on abstaining for man? What's the plan for after? start busting like once a week?
I'm for sure gonna abstain for months now that you told me these good news. Really appreciate the response man.September 14, 2013 at 12:32 pm #3787
What's the problem now ?
If you get good erections now, what's bothering you? still low sex drive? low testosterone?September 14, 2013 at 12:33 pm #3788
Yes man, low T levels is my prob. My sex drive is out of whack. I am currently injecting T under the care of an amateur bodybuilder friend of mine. He knows his stuff. I am sure I should have this thing completely nipped in the bud in the next few months. From there, if all is healed, I will never ever take ejaculation for granted again. The plan is still to never masturbate again, as it can turn into an addiction anytime. If I am healed eventually than I cannot wait to hookup again with new chicks and ejaculate, but obviously in a controlled manner, perhaps only once every so often. Over the past year I hooked up with a bunch of chicks, but used numbing lotion so I couldnt ejaculate obviously. It was frustrating to quit after they would cum, and not feel satisfied, so I stopped hooking up a few months back. I really hope shit changes for me. I want to have more energy, motivation, and of course a high sex drive. I think T supplementation is my answer.September 14, 2013 at 12:34 pm #3790
please keep us posted. i would love to see how it works out for you. i got a question though….you said you have t levels in the mid 400s and you basically have no trouble with sex? your able to get it up everytime? do you wake up with morning wood alot? My T levels are about the same and im just trying to get a comparision .September 14, 2013 at 12:35 pm #3792
Pretty solid plan.
The fact that all of us are not gonna take ejaculation for granted is for sure. Ejaculating less is a small price to pay to get my sex life back.
I got a few more questions.
– Over the months, did you notice how diet affects the hard flaccid? I can't tell if foods high in fatty acids like eggs and nuts help or make it worse. Maybe you noticed.
– How does working out (weights) affect you? Before when you still had the hard flaccid did it help or make it worse? I know you dont work out now, but if you did, do you think your package would harden up or stay the way it is?
– Did you figure out what causes the hard flaccid? Have you had your adrenals checked? I'm getting test results soon, but pretty sure it's circulating adrenaline/ prostaglandin E2 that's causing it.
– Have you ejaculated after abstaining for months before? what happens then, back to square 1, or still improvement?
– Right now, on days when you're really stressed/ angry, does it ever still harden up? Or does it always stay the way it should?
sorry for the million questions. Your answers will save many people a ton of trial and error.
About T and E2, have you tried weight lifting to raise T and DIM to reduce E2? I've always noticed that weights raised my T and made me feel better afterwards. I don't know my T and E2 yet, but I don't have as much of a problem with sex drive as I do with the hard flaccid. Generally when the hard flaccid goes away is when I get my sex drive back.
Maybe you should try weights and diet to raise T naturally first? I don't know anything about T injections and how safe it is but either way hope everything works out for you!September 14, 2013 at 12:36 pm #3794
I dont think this is a good idea… starting Testosterone is for life..
If effects all other hormones, adrenals, thyroid and nutrition all need to be intune
You should use HCG with testosterone….. IN fact it would be better to try HCG before TEstosterone.
you also need AI control when using testosterone
its very complex.
how much are you injecting?September 14, 2013 at 12:37 pm #3796
i'm going a month, then i'll probably keep it down to 1-3 times a week or so. im sure it will be great for me in a lot of ways, but i honestly doubt it will change my penis shape and/or girth much now that i think about it. my penis has kinda always been this way, i just never acknowledged how important girth was. i was already so pleased with my length and masturbation that i thought nothing of it.
ive been really nervous lately.. is that normal when you abstain? does this period pass?September 14, 2013 at 12:38 pm #3798
Yes..it could mean that your dopamine is elevated from the abstaining. Save all your sexual energy for sexSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:39 pm #3800
I don't think a month is enough time. Go for like 6 months once in your life just to see if anything changes and how you feel. I've went 3 weeks – a month a few times now and nothing much changed. If I knew this earlier I could've been at 6 months already.
Don't stress bout the girth. 4.5 inches and 5 inches is the same shit, no one will even tell.
I can be nervous sometimes too. I think that's just general anxiety. Closing your eyes and taking deep breaths for 2 minutes helps right away.September 14, 2013 at 12:40 pm #3801
thanks. there's no way i'm going 6 months though, a month is already hard enough. its already getting kinda difficult for me. furthermore im in college so this def aint the time for that.
i know a 4.5 inch girth isnt the end of the world, but it breaks my heart to think of what i could/would/should be right now and that im stuck like this. i was honestly on such a good track until i started tripping about my penis size and shape. it all basically started with this chick i was with over the summer that i liked a lot, who really fucked with self-esteem. she was all over me and def would have been down to F*ck, but ended up just moving onto other guys b/c of my dick im pretty sure. she blew me a few times and i remember her once remarking "at least your confident in your length". but then again she was pretty loose when i fingered her so maybe it was her issue. nevertheless its a really shitty feeling getting dismissed b/c of your dick when you could have a huge one and be delivering mindblowing orgasms and having amazing sex. after that i couldnt stop thinking about it and researching my dick size. i got super freaked out, and i started getting erectile dysfunction and my premature ejaculation came back. so basically what i am trying to say is my dick is causing me all sorts of problems, physically and psychologially, and i feel completely hopeless. lol your like my fucking therapist. i just needed to spill this somewhere, i hate having it bottled up inside of me. thanks for the support broSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:41 pm #3802
lol, ya I guess we gotta be here for each other. Some days its harder to deal with this then other. Even though I know right now I just gotta be patient and wait, some days I go crazy. But deep in my mind I know that since all of us have experienced some degree of improvement or recovery sometime, it should continue to improve given the right circumstances.
I'm for sure going for 6 months. Your condition and mine are different in ways so maybe you don't need to go 6 months. It's something that'll help me for sure though.September 14, 2013 at 12:42 pm #3804
yeah i hear u man. i heard that abstaining that long is bad though, so you might want to look into its possible repurcussions. i just cant wait to get a proper education on all this and do some research on it so i dont have to spend so much fuckin time looking up inaccurate shit online and second guessing everything. i need some real answers and its fucking ridiculous how we have to settle for medical advice from sketch ass people like dr. richards, dr. lin, and HANs (maybe not HANs…)September 14, 2013 at 12:43 pm #3806
I cant understand why abstaining is bad for the body
especially for our situationSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:44 pm #3808
You must abstain.
3 years ago I looked myself in the mirror and I saw a dead face. I looked in the face of others and saw health and happiness, I was jealous and confused. why was my being cursed with lack of virility?
I abstained for 24 months and now people look up to me and see a high virility person. Nowadays I get many interested looks from girls and it makes me happy.
You people really need to realize that you need to abstain. You lost your semen and your health along that. The only way to compensate is to save your semen. Supplements, hormones, whatever, will NEVER do the trick. This is the truth.
Stop running around in circles!September 14, 2013 at 12:45 pm #3810
Obviously excessive masturbation is horrible for you, but i'm pretty sure sex or masturbation in moderation is good for you. i don't think it should eliminated 100%, you just need to find the right balance. i bet you that the healthiest people in the world aren't abstinent. it's one of the best things life has to offer anyways, and you've only got one so you might as well enjoy it.September 14, 2013 at 12:46 pm #3812
For the sexually exhausted it should be first eliminated 100%. Sexual health is a great thing, but sex sux when you're exhausted. Or do you find PE etc. one of the best things?
First you heal, then you get back to sex.September 14, 2013 at 12:46 pm #3814
…..through just abstaining and healthy living you were honeslty able to cure all your symptoms? You dont have the slightest hint of PE anymore? thats honeslty awesome if its true……i mean it would be fucking so hard to abstain for 2 years and my hats of to you for doing it but if you were honestly able to cure all your symptoms by doing it then good shitSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:47 pm #3815
2 years of healing is not enough. I can control my ejaculation and I don't have any seminal leakage but there is still a lot of work to do. I try to get back to full abstaining (until I find a partner) but it's more hard this time because my sexual drive is much more intense than couple of years ago.September 14, 2013 at 12:48 pm #3816
less stress, more energy
I think abstaining is the only way that will stop your case from developing
i notice also that it drains your body from the essential nutrient , thats why its called the juice of lifeSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:49 pm #3817

Nicolas, do you have sex nowadays? Or are you still completely abstaining? If you've been completely abstaining for 2 years then how do you know your PE is fixed?September 14, 2013 at 12:51 pm #3821
I've been masturbating for the last 6 months. When I found ejaculation control, I went back to my porn addiction. Now I'm praying for God to help me quit this nonsense.September 14, 2013 at 12:51 pm #3822
I hear ya. Stay strong man. Anyway, your story is inspiring and gives me hope. I know I have the willpower to abstain for as long as it takes, 2 years I don't care, it's just that I don't want to ejaculate after 2 years to find myself back to where I am today. It's a complete shot in the dark but I'll take it. It makes sense in theory and you're proof that it worked. And thanks for all the knowledge on yoga, stretching, and meditation. They definitely help.
A question to you, do you think serious exercise will slow down my progress or what?
I got fed up of not exercising and started grappling and gymnastic workouts again. Sometimes I take it easy, sometimes I go hard, but never go full-out or to failure of reps. You think I should keep doing it in moderation or just stick to walking and yoga??
CheersSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:52 pm #3824
As sad it is, most people don't have the motivation and patience that is demanded to heal from this condition. If you have the motivation to abstain for as long as it takes and practice diligently healthy living along that, you can be absolutely sure you will heal. God helps those who help themselves.
By all means do all kinds of sports in moderation. Just observe your inner feeling and energy levels and you really cannot go wrong. Some week you may feel like doing only hard exercise, some week you may feel like just meditating. Just don't burn yourself.
Exercising your core muscles is one of the most important things you can do. They support your spine, help your breathing and affect your emotions and central nervous system. They need to be in good shape and activated if you wan't to perform any exercise or movement of body most efficiently. If you haven't given them enough attention, it will take some time to strengthen them. Also you need to open the whole spine to succesfully activate them. It's not done in a day, but persistent yoga practice will do it eventually. When it's done, you're pretty much healed. Most gym rats concentrate only on the big show-off muscles and develop bad posture, bad muscle balance, bad breathing, bad self-esteem.
Also strong legs are very beneficial. But it's not all about physical strength. The grounding and blood circulation ability of your feet correlate on your sexual strength. Concentrate on your feet and you will automatically increase your sexual stamina (blood runs thru pelvis to feet). This will also give you physical and emotional stability. If you worry about things, you are in your head. Concentrate in your feet or the ground below you and you will become peaceful and in-the-moment.September 14, 2013 at 12:53 pm #3825
How do you abstain without nocturnal ejaculation. I make it to 3 or 4 weeks, start to feel good, strong erections morning wood and then I go backwards by having a erotic dream and releasing. Everytime I find I've been laying on my stomach and my knob in contact with bed. So I don't know if I'm rubbing my gland or something.
It is so frustrating as I am so committed to abstaining and if it wasn't for the nocturnal emission I would have been abstaining for 3 months now!
Cam anyone help? I excercise and my diet is goodSeptember 14, 2013 at 12:54 pm #3827
its a loop and you need to break it…September 14, 2013 at 12:55 pm #3829
Nightly adventures aren't counted as a failure to abstain.
You shouldn't worry about them (if they happen like a few times a month), it's far less detrimental than masturbating or having sex. It's just a quick release of prostatic juices, it may not even contain any sperm. When you masturbate, you stimulate your already exhausted nervous system for a long time and drain it and your testicles from any accumulated life force.
You can prevent them by clenching your pelvic floor muscles when you feel an ejaculation approaching. Do a few affirmations during the day and before you go to sleep, like "when I am about to ejaculate, I will prevent it with my pelvic floor muscles" and then exercise your pelvic floor/kegel muscles. Then it becomes automatic. Any time you're about to ejaculate, you will prevent it since you have strong resolution to save every drop.
Remember to fully relax pelvic area after any kegel practices. Relaxing is more important regarding healing, we have serious chronic tension in this area.September 14, 2013 at 12:56 pm #3831
Trouble is mine pulsates and it ends up being a full release. In the dream i will ejaculate and I will feel the point of no return. I then feel crap and get my symptoms. So to me it's a big waste as I could have just had sex.September 14, 2013 at 1:01 pm #3839

Gazing into the open sky and the rolling waves of the bay water at the Chesapeake Bay RV Campground Resort. I am listening to a Jazz CD that's full of notes that are playful and melancholic at the same time. Which brings to my mind how powerful music is to the mind, body and spirit.
There is music to feed every emotion under the sun, and the sun within our soul. The key is finding the rhythm and balance that heals our authentic self.
Do we listen to music that reflects the mood we are experiencing at the present moment? Does the music take us deeper into the space of our spirit? Does it change our thoughts, feelings, moods? Does music comfort us, or does it upset us? Do we find the answer we are seeking in the music? Does the music we listen to carries or vibrates with the energy of expansion or contraction?
I believe it does all of the above. I believe like the open sky, the sounds of the rolling waves of water, the sounds of the rushing or calm winds that touch our face and skin is a gift, a blessing to awaken all of our senses to the right now moment…to the present time. The music brings about an awareness to open us up to whatever the truth is at the present time, but like all gifts/blessings we have the free will, or choice to accept and use the gifts with delight, wonder, and good will.
So tune-in to the sounds of the music you are listening to right now. Are the sounds of nature speaking to you? Are you listening to the sounds of children…other people…CD's, Pandora, your Playlist, or the sounds of your own inner thoughts and chatter? Is the sounds or the music soothing to your spirit? Is it reflecting back to you at this present moment the reality of your spirit if not perhaps the gift is to awaken you, and show you that you are slipping into darkness? Like any great gift learn to accept it, and open it with openness and thankfulness.
Music is a gift, so listen wisely! http://www.hadiahsholistichaven.com

To the south of Ocho Rios, hidden in the green mountains, lie pools of crystalline turquoise waters, which invite to you to launch yourself in great episodes of cool and refreshing swim.
Blue hole, often called Irie Blue Hole, this attraction is the most visited, undeveloped tourist attraction in Ocho Rios, St. Ann. It easily holds the title of the region's most notable attractions in the eyes of tourists and locals as well.
It's not an official Jamaican Tourist Board attraction, but this is the reason why Blue Hole is so special.
The Blue Hole is divided into two areas. There is the main Blue Hole with its turquoise Blue waters that just begs you to jump in. The view is surreal. If you are feeling adventurous there is a Tarzan swing you can use. The other section of the Blue Hole is the waterfall section. This waterfall is around 20 feet in height. There is a path that runs along the river. You will rejoin the river further upstream.
With daring drops of 9-feet and 15-feet jumps and, up the top, a mud spa for back massages, it is no wonder this location has had a steady stream of visitors for a long time. The lovely backdrop and adrenal inducing jumps come second to the excellent service offered by the tour guides on site, as they direct you to the best drop site, advise you where to put your foot and get the best adrenaline jump you've ever had in the clear fresh waters of the Irie Blue Hole.
There are some bamboo benches across the river just below the large cascading waterfalls which is breathtakingly beautiful. This is the type of place where you just feel like lounging around all day inhaling the natural beauty around you. You can pretty much spend the day watching others jump and dive off the various cliffs.
The lush tropical setting is gorgeous, the deep blue water is refreshing and the family-friendly adventure activities are thrilling! The Blue Hole has been rated by Tripadvisor as the top attraction in Ocho Rios and should definitely be on your list of things to do when you visit Jamaica.

What Components Are Found in Colostrum?
Colostrum is the "first food of life," and it helps promote newborn growth and development. All mammalian mothers produce colostrum late in pregnancy and in the first few days after the birth of their young. Colostrum contains a plethora of substances which ensure these newborns can get the nutrients they need to thrive. Animal babies will die if they do not receive colostrum. Human babies can survive without colostrum, but they are generally at a developmental disadvantage and are more susceptible to illnesses in comparison to those who receive colostrum.
Although many people link colostrum exclusively to newborn growth and development, it is important to note that bovine colostrum contains many essential nutrients that help people of any age shut down excessive intestinal permeability.
What Is Intestinal Permeability?
Excessive or abnormal intestinal permeability, also referred to as a leaky gut, results in larger-than-average spaces between the cells in the gut wall. The normally tight junctions between the cells loosen and become "less tight." Of note, the gut wall is only ONE cell thick, so it's easy to understand how the gut can become leaky. When these spaces form, they enable undigested food particles, viruses, bacteria, fungi, chemicals, and other toxic materials to enter the bloodstream. As a result, these toxic materials can cause inflammation within the body when the immune system reacts to these "foreign" substances.
The root cause of leaky gut remains unknown. Some researchers believe nutritional deficiencies, excess consumption of sugar, and the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may contribute to leaky gut. Also, stress and yeast overgrowth may cause leaky gut.
There are many symptoms associated with intestinal permeability, and these symptoms include:
- Constipation
- Bloating
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Skin rashes
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Anxiety
Ultimately, colostrum helps heal a leaky gut, thanks in large part to its vast array of immune-modulating components and growth factors. Many colostrum components support the immune system. Colostrum's growth factors restore "tightness" to the cellular junctions and help prevent substances from crossing over into the bloodstream. And once a leaky gut is addressed, the body can work normally to repair tissue that may have been damaged by years or decades of leaky gut issues.

Let's take a look at some of the key components (bioactives) found in colostrum, as well as how these components support gut and immune health. These are often referred to as "immune factors."
1. Immune-Modulating Components
Colostrum contains a variety of components that support immune function, such as:
- Cytokines: Colostrum contains interleukins, interferon, and lymphokines, chemicals that are involved in intercellular communication, antiviral and anti-tumor activity, and regulation and intensity of immune response. Cytokines help increase T-cell activity and drive production of immunoglobulins. In particular, the interleukin-10 in colostrum contains a potent anti-inflammatory agent that has been shown to have a pain-relieving effect.
- Glycoproteins: Glycoproteins refer to proteins with sugar attached to them. They help safeguard the immune and growth factors in colostrum against destruction by the digestive juices in the stomach and intestinal tract.
- Immunoglobulins: Colostrum contains at least 18% immunoglobulins, and these antibodies support the immune system to perform its function against harmful microbes. Antibodies: The antibodies in colostrum are protective proteins produced by the immune system. They typically form in response to antigens, foreign substances that can otherwise damage the immune function. Antibodies will recognize antigens, latch on to them, and remove them from the body. By doing so, antibodies help reduce the risk of disease-causing organisms from entering the bloodstream (via a leaky gut).
- Lactalbumin: Commonly referred to as "whey protein," lactalbumin is found in mammalian milk. Lactalbumin possesses antiviral, anti-apoptotic, and anti-tumor properties and helps improve immune response.
- Lactoferrin: Lactoferrin acts as an iron-binding protein with antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Lysozyme: Lysozyme is an antimicrobial enzyme that helps protect the body against bacteria.
- Colostrum Polypeptides (proline-rich polypeptides, or PRPs): Also known as "colostrinin," these signaling molecules help manage the immune response by either turning up an underactive immune system or turning down an overactive one. They help regulate the thymus gland (the body's central command for the immune system).
Colostrum's immune factors have been shown to help people overcome the effects of a leaky gut. They also help promote the re-colonization of the bowel by friendly bacteria to assist in food digestion, eliminate waste, balance the microbiome, and manufacture B vitamins.
Growth Factors in Bovine Colostrum
Studies indicate that the growth factors in bovine colostrum are virtually identical to those found in human colostrum. Bovine colostrum's growth factors have been shown to support normal growth, as well as help regenerate and accelerate the repair of aged or injured muscle, skin collagen, bone, cartilage, and nerve tissues.
The growth factors in bovine colostrum include:
- Epithelial Growth Factor (EGF): EGF plays a role in protecting skin by stimulating cellular repair and replication. This applies to the outer skin and the inner lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Insulin-Like Growth Factors (IGF-I and IGF-II): IGF-I and IGF-II are the most prominent growth factors in colostrum and affect how the body uses fat, protein, and sugar for fuel. IGF-I has been shown to promote protein synthesis, leading to an increase in muscle mass and decrease in fat tissue. It stimulates the body to burn fat for fuel instead of the body's own muscle tissue in times of fasting (dieting). Furthermore, IGF-I supports the repair and growth of DNA and RNA.
- Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): PDGF helps with cell division in connective tissue, smooth muscle, and fibroblasts and promotes neuron survival and regeneration.
- Transforming Growth Factors A & B (TGF A & TGF B): TGF promotes the proliferation of cells in connective tissue and supports bone and cartilage development. It also helps repair tissue and supports the growth and development of the gut lining.
Bovine Colostrum Supplementation: What You Need to Know
Bovine colostrum supplements are available for men, women, children, and even pets. They may be taken in a capsule or powder form as part of a regular diet. Additionally, bovine colostrum supplements often contain a wide range of ingredients that benefit the body in many ways.

72andSunny Promotes Strategy Lead Matt Jarvis to CEO
Founders John Boiler, Glenn Cole will become creative chairmen
72andSunny has promoted partner, chief strategy officer Matt Jarvis to chief executive officer, a role held by co-founder John Boiler since 2012.
Boiler and co-founder Glenn Cole will move into positions as creative chairmen, tasked with setting global creative vision and standards for the agency and driving innovation. Jarvis will partner with chief operating officer Evin Shutt, chief talent officer Sedef Onar and chief development officer Tom Johnstone in leading the agency.
Jarvis told Adweek that this organizational shift has been in the works for some time.
"John, Glenn and I have always been a triumvirate and that's not changing. This is a case of a realignment within our partnership," he said, adding that the changes place each of the three in a role where they can make the largest impact on the agency's business.
Jarvis joined 72andSunny in 2007 and brought with him a resume that included time spent serving as president of Justice Telecom and director of account planning for Deutsch. Since his arrival, the agency has expanded its client roster to include Seventh Generation, Instagram, Comcast Xfinity, Axe Unilever, Ciroc Vodka and, most recently, General Mills.
"We've always been a strategy first organization," Jarvis said. "Our unity between strategy and creative has always been a part of our secret sauce. The fact that I come from a strategy background [and have been promoted to CEO] is less about elevating strategy within the organization and more about recognizing how strategy can be applied to anything and hopefully make it better."
"Matt has always been more than a chief strategy officer," Boiler said in a statement. "He's taken accountability for everything from creative development, to finances, brand management, commercial relationships—all of it."
"Our partnership has always been a little weird for this industry," added Cole. "We have always shared the offices of chief executive, chief strategist, and chief creative, and we'll continue to retain that partnership of unanimity. But Matt's contributions over the years have really outstripped the title and role of chief strategy officer. He is our CEO."
Jarvis says he foresees 72andSunny doubling down on its "aggressive innovation agency" in the years to come.
"For a company whose mantra is 'Born modern,' that puts the onus of changing and evolving along with culture on us. I think we can all agree business culture, culture at large is evolving," he said, adding that the agency will continue to "embrace change, using disruption to create opportunity."

About this Event
No Exit
Written by Jean-Paul Sartre
Directed by Shaun Swain
November 2 - November 9
Mary Hopewell Theatre
Approx 60 minutes
A pitch-black comedy set in a single room, more specifically, Hell. Three complete strangers are left alone with each other, with seemingly no reason why they ended up in Hell. It looks like Hell isn't exactly what they expected it to be. There's no link between them, no mirrors, no windows, no means of turning the lights off and more importantly: No Exit. Welcome to Hell, we hope you "enjoy" your stay.
No Exit is directed by Shaun Swain, a Dunedin local, who has just completed a diploma at The Director's Programme in Auckland. We are thrilled to offer Shaun the chance to direct his first professional work after completing his course and to bring a classic play to the stage that he will update for modern audiences, thematically tying it to the successful NBC comedy "The Good Place". In today's increasingly fractured political world, reeling from the ongoing COVID crisis, a black comedy that comments on how we treat one another, divide into tribal groups and cause each other suffering and duress is not only timely but may offer a much needed cathartic release.
Date and Time

HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam wants to attract more investment from the US, especially in finance, Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc told former US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who is President of Warburg Pincus, during a reception in Hà Nội yesterday.
The PM congratulated Warburg Pincus on reaching financial investment deals with VinaCapital Fund and affirmed that Việt Nam wanted major foreign investors to become strategic partners in equitised firms in the country.
The Vietnamese business environment keeps improving while the macro-economy and socio-political environment have been stable, according to Phúc.
The Vietnamese government planned drastic reforms in various fields, especially regarding State-owned enterprises, he said, adding that during the process, the government, ministries and agencies always listened to the opinions of businesses so as to continue improving the business climate.
Geithner expressed his optimism about Việt Nam's economic prospects and growth potential in the near future.
He said it was the right time for Warburg Pincus to increase investment in Việt Nam because the government was stepping up economic and administrative reforms, thus making it easier for foreign investors to expand operations in the country. — VNS

About Scott Ralph
Scott was born in NYC, to Swedish and Italian parents. He became a world traveller at a very young age thanks to his parents, due to their busy lives and his Father's international business ventures.
Having lived part time in several countries, his family then moved permanently to London when he was 12. He attended Millfield School then spent a year abroad in Moscow Russia. Throughout his life he has always kept his innate love of exploring the world including its different cultures and languages which reflects a lot in his photographic work. Scott is also fluent in 4 languages.
At University he was still unsure of his direction in life, like so many of us are at that stage, but knew it had to be something creative, thus he chose to do a double degree in Visual Communication and Media production. It was at University that he had to take several dark room and studio based photography classes as part of his credits. It was love at first sight, he had found his passion. Through his Professor Eric's amazing take on teaching the subject, Scott was totally inspired and amazed by the ability of cameras to catch life's moments and the creation of photographs in the dark room.
After leaving University, Scott spent the next two years heading up the business and development side of a photographic studio. Scott worked alongside two of his best friends, who were already incredibly accomplished photographers, studying them on as many shoots as he could so to build up his new skills at the same time.
Having spent all his life to this point learning and studying, Scott was finally ready to spread his wings and go solo. For the past 9 years Scott has been successfully photographing for a very veried client base worldwide and his main goal at the moment is working on his stunning coffee table books, whilst doing shoots where he can in London and throughout the UK.
These include a book on Africa, a historical photography book centering on a period of time he holds close to his heart, a book on his recent expedition to the Antarctic and a trilogy of world travel with a twist, set to be sponsored by a famous sunglass company. He is very proud of these and is looking forward to many more coming out soon!
Scott sees his future one day going back to his roots and using good old fashioned film and a dark room creating one of a kind works of art. While he is well travelled and an extremely accomplished photographer, Scott absorbs the world around him and all that it has to offer and is therefore still learning and growing every day.
"Photography is truth and fantasy. It is the art of loving and feeling what you do. The camera in this is irrelevant, its having the true ability to photograph the beauty in what you see. When you photograph your passions in life you see very clearly".

Norman Alfred William Lindsay (22 February 1879 – 21 November 1969) was an Australian artist, etcher, sculptor, writer. He is widely regarded as one of Australia's greatest artists.
From an early age, Norman showed an outstanding ability to draw. He became the principal cartoonist for the Bulletin magazine, fought many controversies against "wowsers", particularly defending his right to paint the nude.
Lindsay rejected Christianity, and his art depicts Bohemianism and Arcadian pantheism madly admixed in a fantasy world. As early as 1904 his work was deemed blasphemous.
His sumptuous nudes were highly controversial, and in 1939, several were burned by irate wowsers in the United States who discovered them when the train in which they traveled caught fire. Interestingly enough, Norman had actually sent them to the United States to protect them from the impending War!
In 1901 he moved north to make his permanent home in the Blue Mountains. The sandstone cottage is now The Norman Lindsay Gallery at Faulconbridge run by the National Trust, the cottage and landscaped grounds are open 7 days a week and there is a specialist gift shop and café. His studio and garden is a fascinating place to visit.
All these sculptures are life-sized and Jack got up close and personal to this one…
This is in response to Paula's "Thursday's Special". I enjoy the challenge Paula gives us each week. Go across to Paula's post and see how others have interpreted the theme.

Independent star Cody has clarified the term mark, after a fan used it as an insult.
When a fan referred to "loser marks" in a tweet, the former Intercontinental Champion said he would always side with marks.
"Mark" means fan or customer. So yea, that'll be the side I take. Always.— Cody Rhodes (@CodyRhodes) May 25, 2018
Wrestling is doing pretty wonderful these days. Onwards and upwards with every show.
Brian 'Blue Meanie' Heffron also commented, saying that he cannot see why 'mark' should be used as an insult.
I never have and never will understand why someone takes the word "mark" as an insult. Or when a mark calls another mark a mark to cut them down. I mean I "get why" but it still makes no sense in this day and age. Mark is not a dirty word.— Brian Heffron aka The Blue Meanie (@BlueMeanieBWO) May 25, 2018

FEFAC -- the European Compound Feed Manufacturers' Federation, which represents 23 national associations in 23 European Union member states, the U.K., as well as associations in Switzerland, Turkey, Serbia, Russia and Norway with observer/associate member status -- released its "Feed Sustainability Charter 2030" during its XXIX Congress.
Announced Sept. 25, the charter contains concrete feed sector actions at the EU and national levels featuring animal nutrition solutions that can help increase the sustainability of livestock farming operations. Highlighted are five key ambitions as to how the European feed industry can contribute to the development of more sustainable livestock and aquaculture value chains. FEFAC president Asbjørn Børsting and BFA managing director Katrien D'hooghe highlighted those actions and commitments, which include:
- Climate change -- Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by promoting the use of the PEFCR Feed and the GFLI Database;
- Circular economy -- Increased use of co-products and human-inedible feedstuffs;
- Biodiversity -- Upgrading the FEFAC Soy Sourcing Guidelines to facilitate the transition towards responsible and deforestation-free soy supply chains;
- Sustainable food systems -- Optimization of nutrient efficiency, and
- Antimicrobial resistance -- Animal nutrition solutions to support animal health and welfare.
"The feed sector holds an important 'pivotal' role in enhancing the sustainability of both animal and arable production, bringing solutions to issues related to reducing GHG emissions, nutrient leakage, antimicrobial resistance and deforestation. An essential contribution of compound feed manufacturing is the uptake of human inedible feed, including co-products from the food and biofuel industry," the groups said in announcing their plan forward.
For FEFAC and many of its members, the launch of the charter is considered a starting signal to set the path for continuous improvement and measure meaningful progress that will contribute to sustainable livestock production and aquaculture sectors. In the road toward 2030, FEFAC plans to publish annual progress reports for its "Feed Sustainability Charter" to follow up on how FEFAC and its members are advancing on the specific ambitions.
The digitally livestreamed FEFAC XXIX Congress featured a panel discussion between Michael Scannell of the European Commission, Pekka Pesonen of Copa-Cogeca, Philippe Weiler of Lidl Belgium, Preben Sunke of Danish Crown and Jean-François Timmers of World Wildlife Fund on the Green Deal and market expectations for the European livestock and feed industry. A key priority raised by all panelists was the need for the European feed industry and its chain partners to achieve deforestation-free soy supply chains. They also welcomed the ambitions set out in the FEFAC "Feed Sustainability Charter" and encouraged FEFAC and its members to take more targeted commitments.
"It's a proud today for the European feed industry to set its ambitions for more sustainable feed production for the 10 years to come. It was good to hear from important stakeholders what their concerns and priorities are and I can assure them that today is the beginning of a journey of measurable progress. We recognize that a deforestation-free soy supply chain is a key priority for our industry, and we're working hard on the upgrading of the 'Soy Sourcing Guidelines' to facilitate a mainstream market solution to achieve that goal," Børsting said.
BFA president Dirk van Thielen said, "FEFAC and BFA are committed to step up the action on bringing down greenhouse gas emissions like methane, upscaling the use of co-products, tackling deforestation and reducing antimicrobial resistance."

Terence "Geezer" Butler helped build Black Sabbath's wall of sound with four mighty bass strings and a clever quill. He's the lyricist for all your Ozzy-era favorites, and boasts the second-longest tenure of any original member after guitarist Tony Iommi. WW caught up with Butler midway through The End tour to ask about his doomsday masterplan after the final curtain call.
1. Write a memoir, if I can remember anything.
2. Complete a solo album. I have hundreds of half-written ideas taking up space on my computer.
3. Travel. I love traveling and exploring new places. I want to take a train journey across the USA and Europe and go hiking in some of the national parks of America.
4. Read some of the 50-plus books I've accumulated since the tour began.
5. Spend time with my family and my dogs and cats. I have three grandchildren whom I've hardly spent time with, and I love taking my dogs for walks.
BONUS! Five more questions for Geezer Butler:
Willamette Week: Black Sabbath took its name from a Mario Bava film starring Boris Karloff. The first album features a nod to H.P. Lovecraft called "Behind the Wall of Sleep." I've read that you were also into Dennis Wheatley. What other horror literature helped inform your early days?
Geezer Butler: I liked the Hammer horror films in the 1960s and magazines such as Man, Myth and Magic, but I had a few supernatural experiences as a child and dreams that came true. That, more than anything, shaped my interest in the occult.
Similarly, many of your lyrics have science fiction themes: "Iron Man," "Into the Void," and even recent tracks like "End of the Beginning" reach toward the future. What science fiction literature do you personally recommend?
I liked the H.G. Wells books, but I don't really read science fiction these days. I'm more into crime fiction.
The term "doom metal" has gained a lot of popularity and credibility in recent years. When is the first time you recall that term being applied to your music?
Probably sometime in the mid-'70s. That and "downer rock." I don't really pay much attention to labels, we just wrote music that we liked to play.
I know you're a fan of Neurosis. And last year, Sabbath took Uncle Acid out in Europe. When there are such incredible underground bands like those out there, do you ever feel frustrated having to tour so often with generic commercial support?
I really like our current support band, Rival Sons. They have good songs and are great musicians, so I do not feel frustrated.
I asked Tony this a few years back, but when was the last time you and he and Ozzy all shared a joint?
The 1970s.
SEE IT: Black Sabbath plays Sunlight Supply Amphitheater, 17200 NE Delfel Road, Ridgefield, Wash., on Tuesday, Sept. 13. 7:30 pm. $24-$686. All ages.

World War I in Lawrence: 'Tractor school' helps farmers feed troops more efficiently
An event described in the Lawrence Journal-World as a "tractor school" took place this week in Lawrence with the intended purpose of making farm work more efficient. The event, described as "purely a patriotic and educational affair," took place in the Douglas County Courthouse, where "experienced tractor men [were] on the bench […] telling the farmers of Douglas county how to run and care for their tractors that the largest amount of food in the history of this country might be produced this summer in order to feed the American army in France and to keep the Allied armies intact." Although the largest tractor manufacturers of the U.S. had provided speakers for the two-day workshop, no sales took place and no specific tractor was described as being the best choice. The sole purpose of the tractor school, it was stated, was "to educate the tractor owners of the county to keep their tractors in running order" and to "prevent waste."
Elsewhere in Lawrence this week, the Rotarians, "in their determination to follow up their campaign for the Americanization of the elementary schools," adopted a resolution to exclude the German language from elementary schools. A two-person committee, composed of Lawrence school superintendent Raymond A. Kent and Supt. H. B. Peairs of Haskell Institute, presented the resolution to the local Rotarian branch, whose members intended to have it adopted as a state policy later in the year. It was resolved that "no language except English shall be taught or permitted to be used as a medium of instruction in the elementary public schools of America" and that the teaching of German in high school and college "be not arbitrarily excluded, but that the study of this language be left to the election of the students."

Brandi lost 40 pounds. This mom was tired of feeling moody, emotional and out of control. She got focused, trusted herself and faced that difficulties of losing weight head on. Check out how she transformed her body and her mindset.
What was your motivation?
My weight loss motivation spiked when I stopped being able to fit into my favorite clothes. I realized I was tired of feeling emotionally overwhelmed, moody and out of control.
What inspired you when you wanted to give up?
The fact that change is supposed to be difficult, and I know I can handle difficulties. I trusted myself to override the uncomfortable phases of my weight loss journey because I knew that change is only difficult in phases. It's just temporary.
How did you change your eating habits?
I stopped eating processed foods. I stopped eating junk food, foods that are high in preservatives, gluten and sugar. I started eating more fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. Now, I eat a whole foods meal plan. I also started intermittent fasting in the last 6 months.
What did your workout routine look like?
I did High-Intensity Interval Training and I worked out 3-6 times per week.
What was your starting weight? What is your current weight?
My starting weight was 190 and my current weight is 150 pounds. My height is 5'8″.
When did you start your journey? How long did your transformation take?
I started after I had my children and my transformation took 6 years. My mindset is firm now. I don't feel like I will lose my weight loss progress going forward. I can work on maintenance now.
What is the biggest lesson you've learned?
I'm stronger than I give myself credit for. We can do anything we dream of doing with a good plan and consistent actions.
What advice do you have for others who want to lose weight?
Avoid trendy diets and lifestyle programs. Look for customized support that matches who you are and your lifestyle. Start when you are ready.

This week's Riverdale focused on the awful history of our beloved drama filled town. It's Pickens Day, a time for the town to come together and celebrate their rich history of General Pickens who was employed by Grandpappy Blossom and essentially built Riverdale. Little do the residents know, Pickens was not a man to be celebrated and was actually a mass murderer who slaughtered Riverdale's native inhabitants, the Uktena tribe. They didn't know, that is, until Jughead wrote an expose about Riverdale's shocking past. But I'm getting ahead of myself…let's run down what happens.
Veronica Takes Over The Pussycats
Veronica, still wanting to be the best daughter ever, continues to work her Lodge magic behind the scenes just like mom and dad. She's even being invited to their clandestine meetings to "unite" the North and South Side, in efforts of making the SoDale project accepted by the town. Why Mayor McCoy, Sheriff Keller and Fred Andrews are okay with a teen being present at their meeting, is beyond me.
At sixteen, I was more interested in putting mentos in cokes and finding the right OPI shade to convey my proper level of emoness, not planning town takeovers. But Veronica is a Lodge afterall, being mischievous is in her blood.Later, McCoy throws shade at Veronica and her family's less than decent behavior by refusing to let Josie reunite and sing at the Pickens festival with her beloved Pussycats. Instead at the festival, Veronica sings with the Pussycats, "Union of the Snake" by Duran Duran.
Their cover is good, but not good enough for Jughead and his band of Serpents to stop their protesting. Sorry V. You'll get them next time, maybe with a cover of "Don't Stop Believing" that always worked at my middle school dances to get people to come together.
Archie Can't Wrestle
Meanwhile Hiram Lodge is taking a break of town restructuring and scheming to bully Archie. Archie, still working with the sketchy FBI Agent, asks Ronnie for a new approach to get in her father's good graces, which is apparently through…drumroll please…wrestling. Archie takes the words out of my mouth when he asks, "wrestling, really?" and Ronnie explains her dear dad was once the captain of Riverdale's wrestling team.
And now we all understand the origin story of Hiram's aggression. Archie's tryouts go predictably terrible and Hiram can't help but boast about how much Archie sucks and will never win, like its completely normal he's competing with a teen for his daughter's affection. Grow up Mr. Lodge, go and find someone your own age to pick on. Neither of them uses their wits to best the other, only instead showing their dominance on the mat and through athleticism. Archie eventually proves himself by taking on Chuck Clayton (yes, reformed douchebag Chuck) and defeats him, thereby proving himself to Daddy Lodge.
Apparently Hiram's animosity towards Archie went beyond his love for Veronica, as he later invites Archie into the Lodge web of town dealings. "Like an internship" Archie asks Hiram as the FBI Agent calls him at precisely the exact time he's being invited into their group. At this rate, Hiram will welcome Cheryl into their elite clan of blackmail next week.
Chic the Cam Boy
In the Cooper Household, the newly arrived Chic struggles to adjust to the Cooper Lifestyle. Hal isn't making it any easier by mentioning Polly every five minutes and telling Chic he's only there to fill a void. Are we just going to accept the fact that Hal is pining over the loss of Polly, when he and Alice shipped her off just months ago? There has got to be more to this animosity directed towards Chic, perhaps, he suspects Chic isn't his son but the spawn of Alice's previous high school boyfriend? IS CHIC FP'S SON? I have to know.
Kevin informs Betty he recognized her new brother from the Web. Turns out Chic is a "cybertrick", otherwise known as a Cam Boy. Rather than go into Mommy mode, Betty asks Chic about his business. She knows Chic possesses a darkness like herself and wants to find a way to manage it. Chic explains he cams to escape and introduces caming to Betty. What's Chic's endgame? Is he actually trying to bond with Betty or is this about sabotaging her "safe" existence? Honestly despite how terrible this is going to go, I'm excited about the return of Dark Betty.
General Pickens Sucks
Now back to Pickens day, Jughead interviews Toni's grandfather about Riverdale's history and discovers its dark past. Off Jughead's shocked look after her granddad explains Pickens killed over four hundred natives, Toni aptly says Riverdale's history has been white-washed. What you mean Jason Blossom wasn't the first one? Nope, he was just the first one the town cared about. With Toni, Jughead and the Southsiders lead a protest on the Pickens Day Festival. Sadly their rally is shut down super fast. Jughead's vendetta against the North Sidemakes sense, but he can't rewrite his history of being an adopted North Sider by way of Betty and Archie. Speaking of which, when is he going to reunite with Archie? Why can't everyone just get along?
Around Riverdale/Musings
- Did Penelope Blossom just proposition Hal? Do we even care?
- Where is FP? Why isn't he at the Pickens Festival? Will we ever get more moments of him and Alice together? Will he ever punch Hal in his stupid face?
- Kevin's A+ line "Yeah Archie, you have the physique of a 1970s porn star, but that doesn't mean you can wrestle." No it does not.
- Does this mean Josie and the Pussycats, are now Veronica and the Pussycats? When will they ever get a stable leader?
- Archie mentions he's done with music, will he stick to his word? Please let it be true.
- YASSSS Cheryl, I'm so proud of you for standing up with the South Siders!
- Sweet Pea kicking Reggie's butt at Basketball is awesome. More Sweet Pea please!
Agree? Disagree? What did you think of the episode?
Riverdale airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on the CW.

Former Douglas County manager leaves Colorado job
Rifle, Colo., Citizen Telegram
After only three months, the city of Rifle, Colo., approved a separation agreement with former Douglas County Manager Jim Nichols.
Nichols signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Rocky Mountain city in November 2017.
Terms of the city's separation agreement with Nichols are being finalized.
Nichols served as Douglas County manager for 15 months between September 2014 and January 2016.
The separation deal he had with Rifle sounds similar to the mutual separation agreement he had with Douglas County commissioners.
While Nichols initiated the request, commissioners agreed that both parties were seeking the separation.
At a Nov. 4, 2015, performance review, Nichols said he felt he hadn't met the expectations of county commissioners as a whole.
Nichols received $115,346 in severance, which amounted to six months salary plus accrued medical and vacation.
At the time, Douglas County Deputy District Attorney Doug Ritchie said that if commissioners were to terminate Nichols' contract, they would have had to provide him with two months notice, during which he would continue to be paid and then he would receive six months severance.
County Manager Larry Werner was appointed to take over for him, and has been in the position for two years now.
He was one of four finalists for the Douglas County job, and had been a finalist when Werner retired as Carson City manager in 2013.
Prior to taking the Rifle job, Nichols had been a teacher in China for a year and a half.
Yet another search for an interim city manager, as well as a permanent replacement, will begin immediately. Rifle Police Chief Tommy Klein has assumed the role of acting city manager.
Reasons for the city's separation with Nichols were not made public. Nichols could not be immediately reached for comment.
Mayor Barbara Clifton said Thursday she was limited because it is a personnel matter, but that there was a realization on both sides that it was not a good fit.
"We have to move forward," she added.

v During my years as pastor I have had a passion for a strong pulpit emphasis for a consistent and organized teaching of the Word of God. This has been accomplished by series of messages upon various topics, verse by verse book studies, Bible surveys and character studies, etc. It is my driving passion to teach God's Word.
v I believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and was both God and Man. He and He alone offered the atonement for the sins of mankind. He is the only way to heaven and without Him hell is certain.
v I believe that God is a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
v I strongly believe in the Bible as the infallible, inerrant, Word of God without any mixture of error and that it is profitable for doctrine and correction of a totally fallen human race.
v I believe the church is made up of baptized believers joined together by the new birth. I believe the Great Commission is a mandate to the church. The church should be on mission with God both locally and into the far reaches of the earth. I personally feel the pastor should be involved in not only supporting mission projects but also personally participating as much as possible.
v I affirm the Baptist Faith and Message as well as the Cooperative Program, which I believe is a God-sent way of doing the work of the ministry as a denomination.

# Modding Intro
Learn how to setup the plugin template
Include new templates
# Getting Started
Beat Saber is made in Unity 2018.4 using C# with .NET framework 4.6.
Download the latest version of Visual Studio Community.
There are multiple templates that you can choose to install.
DaNike includes a modding template if you intend to make your plugin using BSIPA. Simply grab the template
.zip from the latest release!
If you wish to use the older IPA, the BS Plugin Template by Kyle1413 includes more options to guide you, as well as a basic use case of CustomUI. We will be using this for the Mod Tutorial, however intend to upgrade to BSIPA in the near future.
However, if you wish to go more barebones, here is the older Beat Saber Plugin Template by RQ.
# Template setup
Install Instructions:
- Open C:\Users\You\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#.
- Drop in
BeatSaberIPAProjectTemplate.zip. You do not need to extract the contents here, dropping the zipped file will work.
After you have place the zip file in the correct directory, open Visual Studio 2019 and create a new project. You should see the Beat Saber Plugin Template in the Visual C# section. Create a new project using the template.
If you intend on making a mod to be published to BeatMods, you will have to rename the assembly to your mod. Using the default assembly name won't cut it!
# Renaming the Assembly
In the Solution Explorer panel, double click on Properties.
Change the text in the textbox Assembly name.
While you're at it, make sure your Target Framework (Shown above) is above
4.6, if you're using BSIPA. You can just set it to the highest in that dropdown, such as
# Changing Copy Directory
If you are using Kyle1413's Modding Template, it comes with a built in post-build event that attempts to copy your built file to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Beat Saber\Plugins
If your Beat Saber install is located here, no worries. If not, we need to change this.
- Under
Project, click on
<Project Name> Properties...at the very bottom of the dropdown.
- In the menu that pops up, click
Build Events
- Replace the last directory in the Post-build event command line (The directory should look like the one above) with the directory to your Plugins folder.
- Save and exit that menu.
If the template you're using does not have a build event, add
copy /Y "$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).dll" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Beat Saber\Plugins\$(TargetName).dll" to the Post-build event. Match your Beat Saber install folder if you have a different one.
# Inspecting the Code
In the solution explorer, double click on
Plugin.cs to open it up.
You should see something like this. It'll look different depending on the template, but should look similar.
Note the red squiggly underlines. This is means Visual Studio can't find our references.
# Fixing References
To do this, right click on
References in the Solution Explorer, and select
Add Reference...
This will open the Reference Manager window, and you can browse to find the DLL files that are missing.
Most of these files will be located within
\<Beat Saber directory>\Beat Saber_Data\Managed
(For IPA, use
IllusionInjector and
IllusionPlugin. For BSIPA,
IPA.Loader is all that you need)
Some Libraries are located in the Plugins folder as well. Check there for any libraries you forgot to add.
The most popular libraries located in the Plugins folder include:
- CustomUI
Can't find your Beat Saber directory? See install folder.
# Compiling
Once you have fixed all project references, on the top menu bar press
Build -> Build Solution or CTRL + SHIFT + B
Your compiled DLL should appear in the
\Bin\Debug folder of your project, or copied over to your Plugins folder, depending on what template you use.
You can then copy this DLL into the
Plugins folder within your Beat Saber directory.

We have been approached by an organisation called THOCH (The Hope of Childs Hill). It runs a bike project at Basing Hill Park (Between Wayside NW11 and the Hendon Way NW2) with professional instructors and help from local volunteers. It teaches basic cycling skills to both adults and children. Times are: 12-2 Saturdays and 2-4 Sundays. They would like help with basic cycle maintenance and leading easy local rides for adults.

I have done two sessions with them, so if you want a feel of what's involved, please feel free to contact me email@example.com
020 8455 5174 / 07961 194 771.
I feel it's the sort of organisation Barnet Cyclists should be supporting. You wouldn't be expected to make a regular commitment. You can turn up and help as and when you can.
