"I love my body, I LOVE my Electric Body," said Aly Cook recently in an interview. Nominated for NZ Female Country Artist of the year Aly Cook is a Country Blues Singer who has used Electric Body for over 2 years. Aly suffers from a condition known as acne rosacea and has found using Electric Body Skin Elixir means she can give away the use of antibiotics and harsh skin medication to keep the condition under control.
It was such a pleasure meeting you. I am so excited about the product. It still takes some getting used to not having to use a ton of other products, but I am enjoying the simplicity of the three products.
I love the way my skin feels. The skin elixir is so amazing. Sometimes throughout the day I will touch my face and my skin just feels amazing. Even with oily skin, I don't even have to blot, maybe a touch up near the end of the day. Using sunscreen, and moisturizers just added to the oil production my skin makes naturally. But I check throughout the day and my skin seems to have normalized immediately. Also the body spray, OMG!!!! I use that when I get out of the shower and my skin stays moisturized into the next day. I'm not oily or ashy. I have literally stopped using any oils or lotions, period. I am so excited about this product. I will forever endorse Electric Body as my skincare line of choice. And the science behind this product is phenomenal. When people hear the word cancer it gets their attention.
I use the product because of the overwhelming benefits and ease or simplicity. The medical benefits for me is a plus. So, thank you for bringing this product to market and may you and Denie have massive success because of your passion for making a difference. Thank you for sharing.

This is the end result after the Mohs forehead flap surgery to reconstruct my nose after excision on infiltrating Basal Cell Carcinoma on the right side of my nose. Thank you so much for your magical healing cream. Even after only using it for 4 days the redness lessened and the scar wasn't as obvious as previously. It's been a long hard haul but I have come out the other side and will continue to use the Skin Elixir.
"I just love your Skin Elixir! My skin has never felt so smooth! And i am amazed at how it increases my energy. If I ever need a pick-me-up I just apply the Skin Elixir and I feel an instant revitalization! Magical!" Andy, creator of "Tow Truck in a Box"
"The comments below affirm to me that I have achieved what I intended to do - create a non-cancer causing, healthy skin care line to help make this world healthier and safer for everyone - men, women and children. All the comments below are unsolicited and from the heart."
"I must tell you a little story about the Body Spray. My children and I have just come back from 6 weeks in Northern Europe. I was wearing the spray every day and got a lot of comments about how nice my legs looked, which was really nice! The most amazing thing though, was that, while we were out in the forest at night when everybody covers up so they don't get eaten alive by mosquitoes, I was still walking around in my shorts! The odd mozzie landed on me, but quickly took off again – I reckon that spray doesn't only make you look good, it is also a secret weapon against mozzies!! I put it on my kids, and same thing happened. I offered other people to use it, which they did, but even though they didn't get bitten when they were wearing it, they struggled to believe that the beautiful "orange spray" could chase away the dreaded insects. Funny, though!" A happy customer.
"I love your products and you guys are inspirational! I am so happy with the cream and I love the way it helps my sensitive complexion. Whenever I have a rash or my son's skin is irritated it clears up overnight!" Valentina, Model.
"I just love Electric Body and so does my baby Bella. The Skin Elixir works wonders if she ever gets any nappy rash. I haven?t even got any stretch marks because I have been using the Body Spray every day. And the Body Polish is a great product too - I use it as a facial cleanser and also in the bath. It?s great to know that all of these products are safe for me and my baby. I don?t have to worry about my little girl getting any in her mouth by mistake. I am going to tell all my friends with babies that they simply have to get it!"
Denie, I just had to THANK YOU so much for creating this phenomenal skin elixir, I love it! I just turned 40 and have tried many products and nothing has ever made my skin feel and look so healthy and vibrant. It is really amazing how I felt it immediately. I was very happy to see that it reduced an old childhood scar which is now barely visible. Plus, I just love that every day I am putting something on my skin that is pure, alive and good for me. I will be spreading the word to everybody I know especially since everyone is noticing the difference and asking what I?ve been using. Please feel free to post this and my picture on your website.
From the very first time I used this incredible skin cream, I was struck by the wonderful scent - delicious enough to want to eat, yet scented enough to retain it?s appeal to a woman. It takes only a drop and yet moves over one?s entire face so effortlessly. The feeling it leaves on my skin is nourished and protected. I have used just about every expensive European skin cream in my lifetime, but remain a firm devotee of this product from here on. I am continually astounded by its simplicity ?and its complex ability to be effective. Thank you for taking such good care of me and my skin.
"I was introduced to the Electric Body products in May 2008. I am especially thankful for the skin elixir cream. Eighteen months prior for no apparent reason my eyelids and the skin under my eyes became swollen, red and extremely painful. Even water made the skin sting. I tried numerous allopathic and expensive skin creams however there was absolutely no improvement. After one application of the skin elixir, the irritation calmed down and within days the redness and swelling was gone. The overall tone of my skin has improved. I am absolutely delighted with all of these products."
"I have been in the beauty industry for more than 35 years and have never used any skincare whatsoever until I discovered Electric Body. Now I use the Skin Elixir and Body Spray daily and everyone is commenting on how wonderful my skin is looking. I am also an avid golfer but do not like using sunscreen. I have found that if I apply the Skin Elixir before I go out to play and then at night when I get home I never have any sunburn and my skin continues to look healthy and nourished regardless of how many hours in the sun I spend - and I live in California!"
Richard, Marina del Rey, California.
"To Electric Body, Thank you for this fabulous Electric Body skin cream. I live in the desert, enjoy time outdoors and have discovered how well Electric Body replenishes and hydrates, eliminating dryness, weathering and adds protection from sun damage. Also, I have chemical and fragrance sensitivities and have had difficulties finding a product that works and is natural. The colostrum works like a miracle! My skin texture is softer and finer and often people remark that it "glows". It feels nourishing and revitalizing just putting it on my face! I?ve also used it successfully on cuts, cold sores and skin blemishes. I heal very quickly by using the product and I?m thrilled when I travel that I only need to bring one skin cream to do everything. Please let me know when the body spray is available! Again, thank you for helping me look younger and vibrant."
"I?m addicted! I have never felt this way about a product before! I get into a panic if I discover my bottle is almost finished!"
My name is Chrissie. I am 41years old and grew up in Ponsonby. The reason I am writing this is while camping over the holidays we went golfing and I got hit just above my right eye by a golf ball! It was a great sunny day, while we were on the green of the seventh hole a group of men teed off while we were still putting and the ball hit me right on my forehead. I started to bleed. People came over to help, including Denie & Shelley Hiestand, and I was rushed to Waipu Medical Centre to have 5 stitches to my gaping wound. I was so worried about my face and that I was going to have a scar. My job is Business Developer and I have to deal with people directly every day. Denie and Shelley gave me a bottle of their Electric Body Skin Elixir to use to help me recover. The next day I had two black eyes. This happened on the 4th Jan 07. I still can?t believe how well the Electric Body skin repair cream worked! It?s a miracle! After ten days you wouldn?t know that I had had black eyes and stitches. And even better is that it is chemical free, non-toxic, child safe cream you can apply to any skin type. It is not only a fabulous skin repair cream but primarily it is a beauty cream that helps create healthy skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and it really has made my skin glow. I feel that every household should have this product! Thank you so much Denie and Shelley for introducing me to Electric Body.
"I loved meeting you both in Los Angeles at the Emmys. Thank you for the incredible healing session Denie. As soon as I saw a friend of mine here, she said my energy was stronger - amazing. I feel happier. I also had a really bad pain down my left side and put some of the Electric Body on it last night and it really helped - am amazed again."
At the age of 70 yrs plus, have had so many compliments about my glowing skin - "have you had botox?"
Since using this absolutely amazing electrically formulated skin care cream, fine lines have disappeared, elasticity gained, and particuarly the "glow".
Thank you for making me feel so alive and active."
"Thanks for creating such a fabulous natural skin product.
Childhood eczema caused my facial skin to be dry and overly sensitive to any skin cream. I have been using your Electrical Formulated skin cream for over a year now and my skin has been nourished back to a healthy look.
It is very economical and I have been recommending your skin cream to my clients and the feedback has been very positive."
"For my 60th birthday recently, I indulged myself by bathing Cleopatra style using the Electric Body ?Body Polish?. Pure bliss! Cleopatra bathing is now a regular part of my life. I recommend everyone not to wait until you are 60 to exeperience this! Indulge yourself now!"
"After reading ?Electrical Nutrition? I became aware of the FACT that my body is the vessel in which I have only one opportunity to experience my life through. It was an immediate wake-up call that I needed to make some simple, yet extremely important changes in my day-to-day routine if I was going to avoid illness brought on by my own ignorance or the idea that someone else such as my doctor, should be responsible for knowing all right things to make me well when something mysteriously showed up.
The way to a healthy life, is to avoid treating your body in such a way that you unable it to perform the functions that were intended in its design. Therefore, it only makes sense to me, to avoid foods that have no nutritional value and to avoid the toxic chemicals in everything from soaps, detergents, and by far the most damaging, the make-up and skin care products that we are using. These products are only helping to fuel the overload of toxic conditions that our bodies are constantly attempting to fight off. It?s true that we cannot avoid all of it, but doesn?t the responsibility of our own individual health start with us, and the awareness that we are literally poisoning ourselves by the use of skin care products that we apply to our skin every day? My hope is to encourage people to begin to start thinking about these things and help ourselves in an effort to become healthier and happier people. Health is where it starts, and my connection to Denie Hiestand and the information in his books regarding nutrition, as well as the supplements and the truly amazing ?Electric Body Skin Elixir? that I have been using for the last 2 years, has all contributed to so much more vitality and wellness in my life, it?s truly amazing!!!"
"I?ve known Denie for 10 years and studied with him off and on over that period of time. I can attest to his integrity as well as his fund of knowledge and the acuity of his insights.
I?m constantly amazed at the depth of his understanding of human physiology and how our bodies work.
The natural health products that he has endorsed and developed over the years have consistently proven to be useful and effective in maintaining and restoring health.
This guy really knows what he?s talking about."
"I just want to thank you so much for giving me the Electric Body Skin Elixir at the Emmy?s. I really love it and have told all the girls on the show about it. It is my favorte product and I have tried them all. The results for me have been even toned clearer skin. I really appreciate it!"
Katie Cleary from "Deal or No Deal" Bag #11.
"I have been using Electric Body Skin Elixir for over two years now and I will never use anything else. Not only does it feel divine, but my skin has never been softer. I am very conscious of looking after my skin, preventing the aging process as much as possible and didn?t want to use a product containing chemicals that could be harmful to my health. So I was delighted to discover Electric Body? - the only skin care product that actually lives up to it?s name of "all natural" and contains live Colostrum to regenerate my skin."
"I used the Skin Elixir on my wrist to help it recover from the injury I got when I cut my tendons on my wrist on the lid of a tin can while stuffing the garbage bag and the doctor couldn?t believe how well it had healed up!"
"Because I work in the steel industry my face and hands get exposed to a very harsh environment making them rough and hard.
Since using the skin elixir at the end of the day, my skin has regained it?s normal condition and softness; and thus the appreciation of my girlfriend.
I have also found it beneficial on cuts,sunburns and heat rashes."
Glad to hear that you are making progress with your skin care products - you have so much energy and enthusiasm to succeed in whatever is your interest. I love using the two products. Warm regards.
I love Electric Body! Especially on my nappy rash! And my Mommy knows it is good for me!
"My surgeon couldn?t believe how the scar from my shoulder operation healed up so quickly! I told him it was the magic cream I was using - Electric Body!"

I have not had a blister for years, but the other day, when getting ready to go on a round the world trip with my 11 year old daughter Maniana, I must have gotten a bit stressed and sure enough, the old virus was still in the cellular memory and I could feel a fever blister coming on inside my upper lip... I know that by the time I could feel it like that, there was absolutely nothing that could stop it! I put EB on it 3 x day for a couple of days and to my absolute amazement the blister never eventuated!!! Thank you so much for this amazingly versatile product -I love it!
I wanted to tell of my experience with Electric Body. I have a skin condition called acne rosacea for which I take a course of antibiotics for 3 months yearly this keeps it at bay and I have to be very careful what I use on my skin. I?ve used Electric Body on it for a week... I cannot believe the results !!! No acne medication works anything like this stuff ...I put it on an what was the beginning of a rosacea outbreak and it killed it, like over night the pain was gone out of it and the blemish has faded back away and gone.. 2 days later !!! My hubby couldn?t believe it either so.. he has psoriasis... So what we are doing is putting a little bit on his right elbow every night and his regular medication on the other to see if it works .. Will let you know the outcome .. I am completely sold .. !!
"I recently shared my Skin Elixir with a firefighter in our area who was suffering from a severe case of poison oak. He had tried everything and nothing helped. After one application of the Skin Elixir he felt immediate relief! Now I totally get why you say it is an everything cream that no-one should be without!"
skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated but not oily at all.
J?ai obtenu un ?chantillon de votre cr?me par mon fr?re qui vie aux Etats Unis. J?ai une peau tr?s sensible sur le visage qui ne supporte aucune cr?me, elles sont rejet?es par ma peau. J?ai essaye votre cr?me est elle est fantastique. Ma peau l?absorbe imm?diatement. J?habite a Draguignan et il y fait tr?s froid durant hivers, ma peau ne dess?che pas et reste prot?g?e contre le froid. R?cemment, je me suis brul?e la main avec de l?eau chaude, j?ai appliqu?
votre cr?me et ma peau a gu?ri si rapidement que j?avais du mal a y croire. En quelques jours, il n?y avais plus aucune trace ni cicatrice. Je vous remercie d?avoir cr?e cette cr?me qui a changer ma vie.
Hello, I obtained a bottle of your cream from my brother who lives in America. I have very sensitive skin on my face and have never found a cream that works that my body doesn?t reject. I tried your cream and it is fantastic. My skin absorbed it immediately. I live in Draguignan which is very cold in winter but my skin no longer feels dry and feels protected from the cold. Recently I burnt my hand and applied your cream to my skin and I couldn?t believe how quickly it healed. It only took a few days and I don?t have any trace of a scar. Thank you for creating this cream that has changed my life.

Wir leben auf 1500 m Hhe .M. in den Schweizer Alpen. Die Luft ist hier wegen der kalten Nchte oft sehr trocken. Bei Nebel in den Tlern sind wir meistens in intensiver Sonne. Fr die Haut, besonders fr das Gesicht, brauchen wir ber das ganze Jahr einen besonders guten Schutz. Die "Electric Body skin elixir" erfllt diese Anforderungen perfekt. Wir fhlen uns gut geschtzt und frisch belebt.
We live on 4900 ft in the Swiss Alps. The air here is mostly very dry due to the cold nights. With fog in the valleys we are exposed to intensive sun radiation. Thus we require special skin protection all year round, especially for the face. "Electric Body skin elixir" provides this requirement in a perfect way. We feel well protected and always freshly revived.
me on all my trips... I use it on my face all the time.
definitely noticed it?s making me look A LOT younger.
one in my suitcase and one in my carry on, just in case they lose my luggage.
and feeling healthier. I?m very impressed. It works great!"
For the past 25 years I have had a challenge with the herpes virus.
As soon as I get somehow depleted or stressed it will come up at the bottom of my spine and turn into a very painful blister that would hurt me for several days, up to several weeks in extreme cases. The other day it happened again that I got myself stressed and sure enough, the feeling of the blister started and I thought of putting on the EB skin elixir.To my total amazement the blister never progressed and the cream seemed to keep it under total control and after only a couple of days the whole episode was over. Thank you so much for your wonderful product!
My 81 year old mother-in-law in New Zealand keeps begging me to try Electric Body. She says everyone keeps telling her how wonderful she is looking and younger too! I can?t wait to tell all my clients about Electric Body. What you say makes total sense! I am going to have to throw all my other products out!
"I am so happy that Denie has created such an amazing face and eye cream.
I use it every morning and evening, and several times throughout the day too.
I am very conscious about what I put into my body and only feed it the best quality, organic, wholesome food. Now I am able to also feed my skin, the body?s largest organ, the best possible food it could have too - a pure and natural colostrum-based cream. My skin just loves it! It soaks it up and leaves me feeling revitalized and refreshed every time I use it. I have a strange mixture of dry and oily skin and the cream seems to very intelligently make the dry areas moist and the oily areas less oily! Magic! I use very little make-up as my skin tone is so beautiful without it now that I use the skin elixir, but if I do put make-up on, I use the skin elixir as a make-up remover at night before I go to bed. I dab a little extra around the eyes so that it can soak in while I sleep. It works great on any blemishes and has been amazing on sunburn as well. I highly recommend it anyone who is conscious about their health and well being. It is truly a non-chemical, non-toxic, pure and natural skin cream, and it works!"
Upon trying Electric Body on my face and neck I found a renewed silkiness, regained the moisture only young vibrant skin possesses. My skin appears to be more resilient, having more elasticity, lessening the fine lines I once had. I recently had foot surgery and thought if Electric Body softened the fine lines on my face the way it did that it could possibly help reduce scaring and scar tissue, what a surprise to find my scar after just two weeks has almost disappeared with minimal scar tissue. Thanks Electric Body.
"The first time I used Electric Body I couldn?t believe how it absorbed into my skin and made it FEEL so much smoother right after I put it on.
best skin cream we have ever used.
I?ve used other skin creams on my face for 18 years before Electric Body but I have to say that this stuff is great and the best I?ve ever used, hands down and I hope I?ll never be without it."
I will definitely have another bottle of Electric Body. During my first week in Dunedin I scalded my hand really badly ? massive blister (about 5 cm!). As soon as the ugly weeping stage was over I started putting Electric Body on it and it has healed amazingly well. It looks like the scarring will be minimal so I am very impressed.
"Whenever possible I use natural products for all aspects of my health.
For 3 years now I have been using "Electric Body" Skin Elixir. Two applications daily, with outstanding results. My skin looks and feels firmer and more radiant.
I definately feel younger for my 60 years."
My wife?s mother (who is not given to spending money frivously) is completely sold on the product and wants to buy more.
"Electric Body Skin Elixir is an absolutely divine product!
I have very sensitive skin and live in a harsh winter climate; I use it daily around my eyes, and any area that is suffering, to soften the effects of weather or a decrease in my water intake! It?s my way of spoiling my skin when it?s tired and stressed or just needing some love.
Like all the other Electrical Nutrition products I use regularly, Skin Elixir is a necessity in my cupboard."
Thank you so much. On either side of the bridge of my nose I?ve had rough erupting skin upon which I?ve tried everything I?ve been able to find as "natural" all to no avail, and have hidden it with make-up. Well now it?s clear and I feel like a new woman!
I received the face cream from you at beginning of May and have been using it for 3 weeks now. I have found it to be fabulous - my skin has never felt so soft, and blemishes are starting to disappear. Also a rash I had on my chin has completely disappeared. Am using it on the arms and legs and they have also softened! Thanks so much for creating such a wonderful product, as none of the other creams I?ve used have ever done this.
cream heals it so fast, it?s unbelievable.
the Electric Body Skin Elixir as a day and night cream.
the Electric Body Skin Elixir is the answer.
I have found the product excellent and so good for my skin as I?ve had a few treatments over the years including chemical peels and just recently IPL laser treatment. I?ve also been flying for Air NZ longhaul for 18 years and find in the 2 months I?ve used it, it has been a huge bonus for the ?cabin air?. Thanks again for a fantastic product.
I got the elixer and I am thrilled! I will be in touch when I have response from the Spas and cosmetic dermatologists! I hope they like it as much as I do.
"I?m 12 years old and I used the cream on some pimples I had on my head and it really helped.
It?s also good on cuts and things."
"Being a sailor and avid skier, and spending many countless hours with my skin being tormented by sun, sea, surf and wind, I started stealing my wifes skin products to alleviate the harshness that my skin felt. None seemed to work, so my brother, Denie, sent me his magic creation to try. The results were unbelievable and immediate on the first day. In fact, I was competing in a 3 day national regatta in extreme conditions with hot sun, salt spray and mast snapping wind. The application of Electric Body Skin Elixir left my skin feeling and looking better than if I had just come out of a very expensive spa treatment. I could not believe the difference it made. There was no windburn or other damaging evidence and my skin was soft and supple. I now use this skin elixir every day and particularly never travel to any regattas without it.
... and now I look much younger and better looking than my younger brother with the added advantage that my wife is much more touchy feely. Obviously, there are many advantages to this product."
your skin does look good."
I have been using Electric Body for almost two years and just love it. My skin feels sooo soft. I keep discovering new uses of Electric Body and wanted to let you know it really helped recently with a potential bladder infection. I have had a couple of bladder infections previously and can now feel it coming on. It usually starts with a vaginal itch and so I applied some of the Skin Elixir internally and got immediate relief. I continued to use it for another day and the bladder infection didn?t develop so I am amazed at speed at which it helped relieve the symptoms and stopped it developing. Thank you! You truly have created a magical cream that can be used everywhere and for everything!!!
LOVE THE ELIXIR!!!!! Wow! What a product. Within such a short period I really feel it?s made a difference. I?ve spoken with the Director of our Surgery and told her after my customary 2 week trial, she will be getting my report and feedback...but I can assure you it?s very positive. My friend Sanda saw my skin and wanted to know the secret immediately. I gave her your website. Her husband is an acupuncturist and OMD and I?m sure will be very interested in the elixir.
Cory, Aesthetic and Clinical Dermatology, Marina del Rey, California.
she uses it everyday. I know it?s safe for her. Thank you Mum. I love you too."
Your Skin Elixir smells de]ivine - I want to eat it! Feels smoothe. I?m on your website watching the interview on Heatbeat America .... very interesting.... I am so very proud seeing Denie on the TV - good on us Kiwis ah!! Woohooo well done guys.
I am a product junkie but have never found anything that I could put around my very sensitive eyes until I discovered Electric Body Skin Elixir. It is the only product that works on my eyes decreasing environmental sensitivities from dry, or polluted environments.
"Please send me another bottle of your Electric Body Skin Elixir. Have almost run out and just love using it especially after shaving!"
I love the Electric Body cream. Found it is an incredible healing cream. Love only having to use one product and all the ease and convenience that creates - specially when travelling. It feels like rubbing goodness into my skin and gives me a real sense of well-being, like eating well. Am keen to buy more!
I tell them, Electric Body Skin Elixir!"
Electric Body is absolutely divine. It feels so alive on your skin. I wish you absolute success with all my heart. It is a great product and an absolute god-send for women. My Mum went back to the UK armed with 2 bottles. She.s going to give one to my sister-in-law who is an expert and wealth of information on skin care and anti-aging. This cream will be a revelation to her! Thank you!
As a woman who has committed her life?s experience to only organic and natural remedies, it was a God-send to find a product such as this one!
After years of not being able to use the myriad of creams that are marketed to women because of their chemical contents, this product has done more than just nourished my skin. It truly has worked a miracle in the field of healing. It?s sophisticated packaging, scent and feel would never lead one to believe that it had medicinal healing powers, but that is exactly the beauty of this amazing skin cream -? one product for every area of the face, and for every skin need - healing or enriching. Thank you for this miraculous product!
"Thanks for sharing your skin elixir with the world!
It?s been about a month since I have been using Electric Body as a face moisturizer. And let me tell you how impressed I am with it. It?s amazing!!
I wish I hadn?t pick up another bottle of my regular moisturizer because that was a waste of money. I would rather have used the money for another bottle of Electric Body.
complexion is clearer and smoother. My skin is more supple and toned. I feel like my face looks younger. My girlfriend even noticed. She kept staring at me in an odd way so I asked her what she was doing. She said that my face had a glow to it. Wow!!
I feel there is HOPE.
I have never felt this way about any other cream. I have always been such a skeptic. I always believed people with beautiful skin were either born with it or they went under the knife. Now, I feel there is hope for me! I can?t wait to see how I will look in another month.
Thank you all for developing this amazing product!!"
I want to be able to afford a life-times worth of Electric Body. God that stuff.s amazing! My wrinkles are d.i.s.a.p.p.e.a.r.i.n.g!!! My beloved says I look 10 years younger and that.s just as well coz for the first time I.m saying with a passion: .God I love this life so much I.m gonna swing it .till I.m 100!!!
Thanks so much for creating and marketing such a gorgeous product. The skin on my face and neck has never been in such fantastic healthy condition. I am hooked! I have stopped using products with parabens thanks to EB. Not only is it a pleasure to use and applies nicely, but I have stopped wearing foundation because my skin glows with health! At 43 thats quite something! When I tell people Im not wearing makeup they are amazed. I could go on for hours about your product, but the reason Im emailing you is to ask how EB travels...I want to buy some for my Mum and Sister.
I used the Electric Body Skin Elixir on my nose after having had surgery and skin grafts and now, after about 3 month, you cannot see any scarring or damaged tissue. Everyone is commenting on how good my skin looks and feels and my surgeon in Hamilton is amazed at the results. Thank you! I am now on a healthy path looking at everything I eat and put on my body to make sure it is chemical free and full of good healthy life-giving properties. My life has certainly taken a turn for the better.
I have been using it on two sun spots I have on my hand and they have almost disappeared! It?s a fabulous product!
Your product really CAN change the world. I know the fact that there is colostrum in the product means that it can do what you spoke of.
I really appreciate the electric gift set. I have been using it and already feel a difference. There really is no product like it that I have tried.
This is Nicole and Amy who you met at the Victoria Health Show last weekend. Thank you again for your time at the show and for creating Electric Body. We have used the Body Spray and Skin Elixir everyday. Both of us are thoroughly impressed with your products. We have learned quite a lot from the wonderful material on your website too. Thank you for your passion!
Sweet Mary Jesus - I LOVE THIS FACE CREAM!!!
AFTER ONE APPLICATION - I SEE AND FEEL THE DIFFERENCE.
OH THANK THE HEAVENS FOR YOU PEOPLE!
I haven?t written in all caps for years.....but I?m that excited.
thing for my almost 35 year old face that has just started showing its age.
I have found it. For life. What a relief!
I love the skincare line! I can?t believe how great it smells, how good it feels and the fact that I know it was designed to help women.
I wanted to write and say what a pleasure it was to meet you, such a positive energy. Unique in so many ways, and fun too. Most people don?t realize how they are in control of their life, if they paid attention to what they put in and on their bodies. The packaging of the Skin Elixir is wonderful, and the pump gives the right amount. Bravo! I love how it smells and feels.
After using the EB face cream I really notice a difference going back to the Sothy?s products I was using before. I can?t wait to get more Electric Body. Thank you for sending it to China for me.
Thank you for the cream! I?m sure you won?t be surprised to hear this but the cream almost cleared up my eczema in just a couple of days!
Recently I met Denie up at Monterey and he said the Skin Elixir was basically good for everything - a first aid kit in a bottle. I had first hand experience of that with my young son who had extremely itchy irritated feet due to a reaction. I immediately applied the cream and the itching disappeared immediately. He has also had a dry patch of skin on his face that has never gone away, no matter what I tried, and after one application of Skin Elixir before he went to sleep it disappeared overnight! - I?m sold!
When I was in Germany I was asked about my energy and my skin. I spoke at length about you both, Electric Body, etc. etc.. One lady from England is a healing client and I have her a sample to use along with a session. I just got this email: Dear Shala, Just want to thank you again for the information you gave me in Germany. I have been using the body electric elixir for 2 days and am already noticing a difference in my skin.
My daughter Katie use the Skin Elixir on a recent outbreak of herpes on her lips and was amazed at how quickly it healed up!
I cannot believe how quickly my lips healed by using the Skin Elixir on them after I had permanent tatooing done to them. What normally takes 3 days healed up overnight! Amazing!

Annaleise Carr (born March 12, 1998) of Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada, was the youngest person to swim across Lake Ontario by the "traditional route" on Sunday, August 19, 2012 at the age of 14.

Annaleise had to qualify for this swim which was overseen by the regulated body and supervision of Solo Swims of Ontario. After qualifying and filing the 70 pages of paperwork a date was set August 18, 2012. With Lisa Anderson, her parents, grandparents, great grandparents and crew she was set with a huge flurry of media watching her leave as well as being on the water with her. Annaleise began her swim from Niagara-on-the-Lake(considered one of the world's most difficult open water swims) at 6:17:10 pm on August 18, 2012. She arrived at Marilyn Bell Park in Toronto after swimming for almost 27 hours, touching land at 8:58 pm on August 19, 2012. During her attempt, spectators received updates via live blogs, Twitter, and GPS live tracking.

During her swim Annaleise's fundraising increased to $60,000, $80,000 to over $100,000 after her swim. To date Annaleise has raised over $500,000 for the Children and families at Camp Trillium. At the time of her swim Annaleise was the youngest person to cross Lake Ontario at 14 yrs 158 days and set an international record to be the youngest swimmer to swim continuously in open water for more than 24hrs (24 Hour Club). Annaleise's swim from Niagara-On-The-Lake to Toronto's Marilyn Bell Park when calculated through GPS; Annaleise swum close to 70 km due to being pushed off course due to currents and waves of approx 6 ft high pushing back toward Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Swim across Lake Ontario

Annaleise began her swim from Niagara-on-the-Lake at 6:17:10 pm on August 18, 2012. She arrived at Marilyn Bell Park in Toronto after swimming for almost 27 hours, touching land at 8:58 pm on August 19, 2012. During her attempt, spectators received updates via live blogs, Twitter, and GPS live tracking. One of Annaleise's goals was to raise $30,000 for a summer camp for children with cancer. By 24 hours into the race, she had raised over $60,000 for the camp. Carr also set a record for being the youngest swimmer to swim in open waters for more than 24 hours By August 22, 2012, almost $140,000 had been raised in her name.

Swim across Lake Erie

Annaleise further challenged herself along with her admiration and love of the kids at Camp Trillium; she decided once again to raise funds for Camp Trillium (Cancer Camp for Children and their families). She along with her Team and supportive parents and siblings prepared the logistics for the first person to cross central Lake Erie, departing from Erie, Pa to Port Dover, Ontario a swimming distance of approx 75 km. Annaleise tirelessly dedicated her spare time in the months leading up to her swim promoting her swim and her book (see below) at various venues she was invited to as a guest.

On July 25, 2014 Annaleise departed Erie, PA with her water crew swimming towards her destination, Port Dover, Ontario. At approx 5:30am due to high winds, waves and strong Lake Erie currents coming of Long Point; Annaleise touch ground on the tip of Long Point making it her second successful lake crossing. She had swum 22 1/2 hrs and a distance of 42.2 km.

Annaleise was determined to complete her initial goal to swim to Port, Dover Ontario and sticking to her motto "NEVER GIVE UP" she continued her remaining swim on September 1, 2014 from where she left of at Long Point to Port Dover, a distance of 30 km and a time of 12hr 12mins. She was welcomed and cheered by the thousands that attended along with the media that was covering her story.

During her swims across Lake Erie, Annaleise raised approx $230,000 for Camp Trillium; her combined total of her two swims is just under half a million dollars and growing; as she voluntarily attends many functions, engagements and requests to attend various venues as a specials guest.

Book

Leading up to her Lake Erie swim Annaleise was promoting her book she jointly authored with famed Canadian author Deborah Ellis "Annaleise Carr: How I Conquered Lake Ontario to Help Kids Battling". The book was written to reflect on her growing up as a swimmer and her swim across Lake Ontario; written in a format the struggles and challenges she faced crossing Lake Ontario comparative to the struggles and challenges of a young Cancer patient faces but on a longer term. Annaleise's love for the kids at Camp Trillium and knowing the daily long term challenges they and their families faced pushed her to continue her journey.

Yuichiro Tamura created a sensation with his road movie Nightless (winner of the excellence award at the 2010 Japan Media Arts Festival), made by stitching together images taken from Google Street View. He has consistently pursued the possibilities of the moving image, taking photography as a point of departure while straddling various other media and frameworks, including film, installation, and performance. Tamura samples not only images that he has taken himself but also preexisting footage, coaxing unique relationships out of them in order to create new landscapes. The form of these works varies from installations that incorporate elements of bodily presence and experience, as well as performances that draw the spectator in.
"Nightland", Tamura's first solo show at YUKA TSURUNO will showcase a new installation that further expands on various notions explored in Nightless. Previous projects showcased a wide range of novel approaches – Nightless (Tamura's graduation project at Tokyo University of the Arts, 2010) went beyond screen-based projections, incorporating an actual Cadillac into the space of the installation, while Talelight (2010, Yokohama Civic Gallery Azamino) features a story told by a taxi driver that unravels out of a series of images. Composed of Google Street View photographs taken in daylight, Nightless is an imaginary voyage into a world with no concept of night.
While invoking the shifts that have occurred in modes of transportation and movement throughout human history – from pilgrimages, crusades, vacations, railways, automobiles, and airplanes – this exhibition brings together a collection of images that visualize the earth, a consciousness of these images through our actual experience of the world, and a history of the earth that emerges from these movements and migrations. On display will be an installation that includes a new version of Nightless that takes its starting point from Clermont-Ferrand in France.
Tamura was born in 1977 in Toyama, Japan, graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts, Graduate School of Film and New Media, currently a Ph.D. candidate. The NIGHTLESS has received the Excellence Prize at the Japan Media Festival in 2010, and has been shown internationally include; The 57th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Germany, Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Hiroshima, WRO biennale 2011, Wroclaw, Poland, FILE 2011, Sao Paulo, Brazil. He has selected for the MOT Annual 2012, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.

BWW Review: Even Refreshed for its 50th Anniversary, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Remains Dated & Divisive — Dr. Phillips Center
What did our critic think of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Dr. Phillips Center? The show remains fundamentally a relic of the precise moment in time that Short summed up so well, when the convergence of counterculture and rock & roll meant that an irreverent but ultimately thin concept like this one — "the Bible but make it a concert" — seemed utterly avant-garde...

BWW Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Turns 50 at Clowes Memorial Hall
The 1970's rock opera JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR celebrated its 50th anniversary this year and the anniversary tour is currently at Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis. This iconic musical has always been one of our favorites, and we've have lost count of how many times we've seen it. This touring production exceeded every one of our very high expectations. While it remained true to the original version, some contemporary tweaks brought it to a new level of greatness.

A rare example of one of the Royal Air Forces Second World War 'forgotten bombers', the Hampden and its twin engined partners in the form of Whitley, Wellington and Manchester bore the brunt of bombing operations against Germany during the early war years, serving with distinction until retirement from front line Bomber Command service in late 1942. With only one other Hampden under restoration to static display standard in the United Kingdom, this is an important, but very much a long term project by the Lincolnshire Aviation Preservation Society. AE436's formers and stringers are being rebuilt to original specification, with current work focusing on the bottom part of the nose section and the bottom front longerons. Once the top part of the fuselage has been joined to the bottom part, the focus of restoration will move to the rear fuselage, then tail boom, tail and wings.
Although the Hampden will be best remembered for its Bomber Command operations, the type also served in Coastal Command with 144 examples being converted to torpedo carrying TB.I standard. AE436 was one such conversion on strength with 144 Squadron Royal Air Force based at Leuchars, wearing the code PL-J.
As added protection for the Arctic conveys heading to the Murmansk region, 144 and 455 Squadrons were ordered to prepare for operations in northern Russia. During the evening of 4th September 1942 AE436 and its crew departed from their forward airfield at Sumburgh in the Shetland Islands for Afrikaner, a Russian airfield located near to the Finnish border. A total of 16 Hampdens from 144 Squadron took off for their transit of some 1200 miles, but due to a storm front AE436 went slightly off course over Sweden and struck Tsata mountain, 130 km WNW of Jokkmokk, during the early hours of the 5th September.With a crew of five onboard, the impact is thought to have instantly killed Pilot Officer Bowler and Sergeants Jewett and Campbell, with Pilot Officer Evans and Corporal Sowerby miraculously surviving the impact to be briefly interned by the Swedish military. To avoid a lengthy internment in Sweden, the two survivors told Swedish authorities that they had in fact crashed in Norway, some 15 miles from the Swedish border as a result of an attack by German aircraft. Evans and Sowerby went on to claim that they were initially captured by Norwegian and German soldiers, but after a night in custody they managed to escape along a mountain valley and into Sweden. It would appear the claims were believed as both survivors avoided internment in Sweden and were back in the United Kingdom by 21stSeptember.
AE436 was not 144 Squadron's only Hampden casualty during the lengthy transit flight. P1344, P1273 and AT138 were shot down, AE310 force landed due to fuel shortage and AE356 was accidently shot down by a Russian Hurricane. 455 Squadron's 16 aircraft fared little better during their transit flight, with AT109 making a forced landing on a beach near Vadso due to taking damage from ground fire and P5323 running out of fuel and crash landing; a third aircraft, P5304, also crashed in Sweden. After completing their mission in Russia, crews from both Squadrons returned home, however their 23 surviving Hampdens remained behind to serve with the Soviet Air Force.
As a veteran of Bomber Command operations, having taken part in the first 1000 bomber raid against Cologne on 30th/31st May 1942, a restored AE436 will be a more than suitable hangarmate for East Kirkby's iconic Lancaster.
Built by English Electric at its Preston works, part of the seventh production batch ordered by the Air Ministry. Taken on Charge 17thOctober 1941; To 44 MU, then 408 Sqn RCAF, RAF Syerston. Suffered undershoot and undercarriage collapse 15th November 1941 , declared Cat R(b). With 13 MU 20th November and repaired by 21st February 1942 when with RAAA. To 44 MU 8th March and returned to English Electric for TB.I modifications 8th April. Delivered to 144 Sqn at Sumburgh 2nd May 1942; Reported as missing 5th September and Struck off Charge 24th September 1942.

"Rescue and Conquer," by Jan Stinchcomb
I serve beer down at the Rescue and Conquer. Woodsmen and wolves come to us in droves. It's odd to see them getting along, nuzzling and stroking each other, sitting at the same tables, filling the tavern with their laughter. Paying for drinks.
It's as if they were never enemies.
I'm standing at the counter waiting for a tray and arranging my cleavage when Cassandra touches my shoulder. "Come on. You've got a wolf in Room 7."
I know who this is. At least I'll have a break from serving.
Room 7 is cool and dark, lavish in red silk. An enormous silver wolf is lying on the bed, pointing his gaping wound right at me. "Again?" I ask, faking surprise.
"You know it, my sweet."
"You must be addicted."
"And you should remember that the customer is always right. Now stitch me up." He taps me with his heavy tail as he orders me around. I know he paid three pieces of gold for this. It's flattering to be his regular maid.
The sewing kit is sterilized and ready for use. I choose a long, sharp needle and our best silver thread. "Do you want to talk about it?" I ask. Sometimes they want to talk, and other times they go into a kind of trance that won't let women in. They're so damn proud of their wounds.
"I'd rather hear you talk about it, my dear."
That is the one thing I did not want to hear. Now I wonder if he paid double. I take a deep breath and will myself to be interested in this very old story. "Let me see," I begin. "She was young and blond."
"Raven-haired."
"Yes, a brunette. And all alone."
"With her mother—no, her grandmother."
"Indeed. Twice the female flesh. You could not resist. Did you talk to her this time?"
"I get tired of talking to them. I shouldn't have to ask for what I need."
All at once I hate this wolf. I tie a knot in the thread and wonder if I can get out of this, or somehow get through it quickly. "Of course not. You should not have to ask. She should read your mind."
"Watch it, pretty maid. I can request someone else, you know."
I almost call his bluff. I have my favorites too. There's one woodsman I truly connect with. I know he loves me. We could leave this tavern and move into our own pretty cottage.
But we never do. Something stops us every time.
"All right, my vicious one. You didn't talk to her. You didn't want to know what was in her basket, or where she was going. Let's say, for instance, that she was already safe inside her grandmother's cottage, at night. They were sewing together by the light of a single candle or perhaps they were in bed already. The girl was dark-haired and as docile as a frightened doe. Hers was a life of perfect obedience."
"Give her some spirit!"
"And she had fire inside."
"That's more like it." The big silver wolf purrs like an enormous cat. His breathing grows faster and faster. He is at his most vulnerable.
(Cassandra always says that now would be the time to kill one of them if you're ever going to do it.)
I drive the needle into his flesh—that first piercing sensation makes even the biggest of them wince—and begin stitching. "You knocked down the front door. The two women screamed, clutching each other. Their fear was so great it could have killed them. The sweet girl offered herself as a sacrifice to save her grandmother. She dropped her gown and gave you all her red, wet parts. You consumed her whole. Still, you were not satisfied. You took her grandmother, too, in one enormous gulp."
The wolf's breath is moist and warm and smells of death. It wraps around me as I stitch. He grins and nods.
"And then, in the moments before your own demise, you did a funny thing. You baked yourself some little cakes in their kitchen even though you were full. It's your own special way of completing the kill, so that you can taste a bit of their life. Then you stretched out by the fire."
The wolf wraps his arms around me as I complete the final stitches, but I stop him: "That, sir, will cost you extra. Besides, I need to finish the story. The woodsman burst inside, ax-proud and ready for victory. He split your belly with the blade before you could blink. The girl and her grandmother emerged unscathed. And you were defeated, gushing red, split open."
The wolf is healed, save for the stitches on his belly. He gets up on all fours and howls so that the windows shake. I take a step back. The merchant on duty opens the door and points a rifle at the restored beast.
On his way to the back door the wolf stops and turns. He comes close and whispers in my ear, "You're a good girl, Sally. How did you know about the baking?"
My face burns. The merchant pokes the wolf with the rifle. "Get out, you."
Back at the counter I ask Cassandra why we put up with his type. She raises one eyebrow at me. "How is he any different from your fair-weather woodsman?"
"He's completely different. He's violent, for starters."
"But do either of them really do anything for you? Be honest now. Besides, where else would you work? What other safe place pays room and board?"
I have no answer. Then I remember the baking fetish. That kind of detail can make a girl feel powerful, and I want to brag about it to Cassandra. I reach for her arm but she is already gone.
Another tray is waiting for me.

Q: xcode - Error when attaching xib file to custom UIView class I have a UIView class where I create some buttons and labels programmatically, and I have a view inside a certain ViewController that is attached to this class. The class works perfectly fine as expected, but whenever I try to link this custom UIView class to a xib view i get these errors:
-"Main.storyboard: error: IB Designables: Failed to update auto layout status: Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Tool crashed"

-"Rendering the view took longer than 200 ms. Your drawing code may suffer from slow performance.
"

-"error: IB Designables: Failed to render instance of MyView: Rendering the view took longer than 200 ms. Your drawing code may suffer from slow performance.
"

Here is the initialization code in the UIView class:
@IBDesignable class MyView: UIView {

 override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)

        setup()

    }

 required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        setup()

    }

func loadFromNib() -> UIView {

        let bundle = NSBundle(forClass: self.dynamicType)
        let nib = UINib(nibName: "MyView", bundle: bundle)

        let view = nib.instantiateWithOwner(self, options: nil)[0] as! UIView

        return view

    }

    func setup() {

        var view = loadFromNib()
        view.frame = bounds
        view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleHeight
        addSubview(view)

    }

}

Both the class and the xib file have the same name,
UPDATE: I found out that the:
 required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
            super.init(coder: aDecoder)

            setup()

Is the one responsible for all the errors, but if I deleted it's content and ran the app the view doesn't show as expected, I also tried awakeFromNib() and same issues happened.

A: Not quite sure what is causing your specific errors, but here is what helped me when I was having trouble connecting a UIView in a xib file to a custom UIView class:
1) Delete the contents of your DerivedData sub-folder:

Your folder can be found by visiting the "Locations" tab in your XCode preferences.
Just delete the folders inside and re-build / run your project again.
2) Clean your project

The bite force of a large wolf has been said to exceed 1,000 pounds of pressure, making it particularly efficient at crushing bones of prey. Their fangs can grow to an inch in length. Thus, for the sharpness of their execution and the thrust behind it, one can only consider Indiana heavy rockers Wolftooth aptly named. The double-guitar Hoosier four-piece make their debut via Blackseed Records and Cursed Tongue Records with a self-titled eight-tracker that from the very beginnings of opener "Blackbirds Call" engages the overarching question of where heavy rock stops and heavy metal begins; a semi-aggro push punctuated by the insistent chug of guitarists Chris Sullivan (also vocals) and Jeff Cole and the popping snare of drummer Johnny Harrod that's given due heft by bassist Terry McDaniel.
Informed somewhat in its melodic reach by modern progressive metal via the likes of a less angular Baroness, the mid-tempo swing of "Aegaeon" finds vocals layered and manipulated in a manner that recalls Fireball Ministry's compressed style, and the penultimate "Forged in Fire," though it embarks on a gallop just past its halfway point, reaffirms that notion early in its going, as does the harmony-laced closer "Season of the Witch." A persistent use of epic themes in cuts like "Sword of My Father," "White Mountain," "Frost Lord" — unless they just really love cocaine, which given the cohesiveness of their sound seems less likely, but I suppose isn't impossible — and some of the push in "White Mountain," or "The Huntress" and "Blackbirds Call" could be said to be culled from High on Fire, but like the other potential points of influence or at least sonic congruity noted above, as well as the classic-style Thin Lizzy stomp that begins "Sword of My Father," these are filtered through the band's own modus of expression and come through as their own.
Wolftooth, in other words, make an impression.
That they'd do so isn't necessarily a surprise. Very quickly, the tastes of Blackseed and Cursed Tongue have each become a trustworthy factor as regards the releases the imprints choose to stand behind, and the 42 minutes of Wolftooth's Wolftooth acquit themselves well in terms of the obvious conscious thought put into their song structures and melodic arrangements. Also the shortest track at 3:55, "Sword of My Father" might also have the album's most resonant hook, but it's one of many, and as the forward-charging slicer "Frost Lord" turns just before three minutes in to its metallo-chugging mosh part — at least one of these guitarists came of age amid the rise of metalcore near the turn of the century — there's certainly a memorable moment being captured. Perhaps what's most striking overall about the album, though, is how fluidly Wolftooth tie these ideas together into a coherent entirety.
No question it's a collection of songs as opposed to a singular work, but the band split the tracklist neatly in half to bring the two sides of their debut long-player to bear with a marked flow from front to back, and aside from being impressively consistent in tone across its span, in the expanding melodies of "The Huntress" and "Season of the Witch" — which, it should be noted, does not seem to be a Donovan cover — one can nonetheless hear how much effort the group has put into crafting this material, and that very much extends to the production contribution of Jeremy Lovins at LedFields Studio in Connorsville, IN. Produced in conjunction with the band and assisted in engineering by Skylar Nichols, the clarity of Wolftooth's underlying aesthetic and sonic ideas comes that much more to fruition because, one senses, not just of the past experience of members in other acts, but because of the partnership between band and studio, the two sides working in conjunction toward the same ends.
All of this, of course, feeds into the notion of Wolftooth, as a debut album, being particularly noteworthy in its sheer got-itself-together-ness. That's a somewhat patronizing cliche to use, but it's a striking appeal all the same, and further evidenced by the balanced nature with which Wolftooth approach what for them is a thin line between rock and metal and prove themselves able to follow the whims of their songwriting to one side of it or the other. To wit, the pairing of "Frost Lord" and "The Huntress" or "White Mountain" coming out of "Sword of My Father" to cap side A. This dynamic, bolstered by the steadiness in the production itself, gives the album its sense of range, and Sullivan's melodic vocal approach assures that as they recount tales of witches, broadswords and other epic/fantasy thematics, they neither become overly dramatic nor chestbeatingly dudely in their delivery, even as "Frost Lord" dips into its triplet-gallop chugging breakdown.
It should be noted that Wolftooth caps with its three longest tracks in "The Huntress," "Forged in Fire" and "Season of the Witch," which leads one to wonder if perhaps the band aren't signaling intentions toward even grander fare their next time out. Would be fair enough. They're still able to hone a memorable chorus into these longer slabs, so I wouldn't be surprised if they expanded the interweaving aspects of the two guitars as they moved forward and wound up with longer tracks as a result, although the more immediate impact of "Sword of My Father" here is a factor to consider. Whichever way they go, Wolftooth's forward potential is writ large throughout this first offering, and that it drives one toward such speculation for avenues of their future progression should be taken as a sign of how likely that progression seems to take place in general, regardless of its ultimate direction.
Classic metal and heavy rock crash headfirst in Wolftooth's 'The Huntress,' which is just one of the eight tracks on the band's self-titled debut LP that makes it easy to understand what Cursed Tongue Records was thinking in signing the four-piece to release the album on vinyl. They were thinking it ruled. I'm enjoying how hard it's becoming to argue with their taste, and as Wolftooth join choice snags like Sumokem, Earth Witch, Neon Warship, Devil's Witches, Green Yeti and Mental Tremors, a significant reliability factor is coming together. Trust is a good thing. Trust that someone is going to back cool riffs is even better.
WOLFTOOTH SIGNS TO CURSED TONGUE RECORDS FOR WORLD WIDE RELEASE OF THEIR DEBUT FULL LENGTH ALBUM.
Hailing from the Midwest via Richmond IN comes the "Stoner Metal Riff Worshipers" Wolftooth consisting of a pack of well seasoned musicians (all 20+ yr metal scene veterans) determined to raise the bar of the almighty riff. Wolftooth combines influences from the 70's and early 80's NWOBHM with Bay Area Thrash and doom laden riffery. Meanwhile the vocals soar over blues drenched solos that add a stoner sensibility to the Wolftooth sound.
Wolftooth, despite having just existed for a short period of time, have already released an EP of three songs on Bandcamp in August 2017 that secured them a place at #12 on the September edition of Doom Charts and general acclaim amidst reviewers across the heavy underground scene. It brings evidence of a band that's aiming high and is willing to put the muscle and mind behind.
Some bands need a whole career to make an impression. Wolftooth only needed three tracks to impress on an epic scale and after listening to their EP we just instantly knew that this band are going places. So it is a natural thing to add Wolftooth to the Cursed Tongue Records roster as we feel the music the band purveys is an extension of our love for metal and rock. We are stoked to be putting thier debut full length album out in the first half of 2018. Official release date and preorder details to be revealed in due time.
Wolftooth hits hard with a unique blend of stoner, 90's alternative rock, hintes of 80's glory and some goddamned heavy riffs that makes this band worth your full attention. So lookout cause Wolftooth is on a mission to bring the "Power of the Riff" to the masses.

Strong earthquake in southwest Pakistan kills at least 11
The death toll was expected to rise as officials search through the remote mountainous area, said Suhail Anwar Shaheen, the deputy commissioner of the area.
Posted on Oct 07, 2021 | Author PTI
A powerful earthquake early Thursday shook a remote mountainous part of southwestern Pakistan dotted with coal mines and mud houses, killing at least 11 people and injuring more than 200, an official said.
At least four of the dead were killed when the coal mine in which they were working collapsed, said Shaheen, citing reports from coal miners in the area.
The epicentre of the 5.7 magnitude quake was about 14 kilometers north-northeast of Harnai in Baluchistan province, according to the US Geological Survey. It struck about 20 kilometers below the surface.
The area, about 100 kilometres from Quetta, the provincial capital, is dotted with coal mines, which has Shaheen worried the death toll could rise. It struck in the early morning while scores of miners were already at work, he said.
Most of the population in the area live in sun-baked mud houses, many of which collapsed. Rescue efforts were underway, but Shaheen said it would take hours just to reach many of the hardest-hit areas


United's Jack King has stated Saturday's performance against Peterborough wasn't of the standard which he and his fellow Iron team-mates expect from themselves.
Vice-Captain King did though insist the team will be striving to put things right, when they face Leyton Orient in next weekend's FA Cup second round clash.
"Obviously not good enough. I don't think there's been many times this season where we've let ourselves down like we have today," he told The Iron PlayerHD.
"We were off it right from the word go, and we got what we deserved in the end."
King reiterated no one at the club has fear of any side in League One, but he admitted the displays must be better if the Iron are to get better results in future games.
"We don't fear anyone in this league, but when you don't perform, like we did today, you know you're going to get rolled over," he said.
"I thought we started pretty brightly, but I think the turning point was probably the first goal."
Looking ahead to Saturday's encounter with The O's, the former Preston man says the FA Cup is a competition which United will be looking to go far and give a good account of themselves in.
He stated: "Of course you want a game straight away, and it's a cup competition you want to do well in"
"We'll be focusing fully from Monday onwards and we'll turn our attentions to that. But at the moment this is a tough one to take."
See much more from Jack King, Mark Robins and Luke Williams on The Iron PlayerHD.

View Full Version : Info on how to follow Atkins as a diabetic??
Hello. I have been following Atkins for almost 5 months and I have talked my diabetic/hypoglycemic mother to try this WOL. I looked on Atkins site and not much info there on specifics on following the plan if you are diabetic. My book is on loan to a friend (DANDR) so I am not sure if there was info in there or not. Does anyone know how to find specific info on this or direct me to someplace. Most doctors don't seem to like the LC WOL. Her's included. So we'd like to go against her doc and give it a shot. She is extremely obese 400+ pounds overweight. I truly believe this WOL will help her lose weight considering all other diets have failed and all she lives on now is carbs. Thanks in advance.
Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution is the book for her, this is a low carb approach specifically designed for diabetics. It also covers many diabetic issues that are not to be found in other low carb books. Here is the web page.
I've been on Atkins ever since I found out I was a diabetic. I follow it as it is directeted in the book. When I'm on plan my bloodsugars are stable!

I Have Also Been Harassed in My Career: Saif Ali Khan
The Quint 15 October 2018
The #MeToo movement has opened a can of worms and Saif Ali Khan says he stands in solidarity with women sharing their stories of sexual harassment as he understands the pain they have been through.
The Sacred Games star said he faced harassment years ago, even though it was not sexual in nature. "I have also been harassed in my career, not sexually, but I have been harassed 25 years ago and I am still angry about it," Saif told PTI. "Most people don't understand other people. It is very difficult to understand other people's pain. I don't want to talk about it because I am not important today. Even when I think about what happened with me I still get angry. Today, we have to look after women," he added.
Saif said the offenders must be punished even if they are found guilty in an old case. "People are offended and they want justice. What it is happening is good and it gives you a sense that something is happening," he added.
"You are removing someone (from the job) and it is a big deal. You are removing a person, but everybody has worked on a project so you have to balance things. People who have sexually harassed and abused women should pay for it." His co-stars from Humshakals - Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta - recently opened up about director Sajid Khan's "rude" behaviour towards women on the sets of the 2014 film.
While Bipasha said she was disturbed with Sajid's attitude towards women, Esha revealed she got into a lot of arguments with him. Sajid is accused of sexual misconduct by three female actors and a journalist. He has since been replaced by Farhad Samji as the director of Housefull 4.
Recalling his experience during Humshakals, Saif said, "I don't remember anything like this happening genuinely because if it would have happened I would not have been comfortable in that environment or allowed it to happen in front of me."
"I would hate an atmosphere where women are being looked down upon or mistreated in any way. I don't think that's how an atmosphere should be," he added. Saif, 48, asserted he will not work with those who have been accused of sexual misconduct.
"We all need to have the same attitude. I don't want to work with them. We have to understand that how these people are behaving, it is not ok, it is disgusting."
He went on to tell Mumbai Mirror, "I don't like bullying, it's disgusting! It's never been there in my world and I want to see it gone. #MeToo is a good start because people will now think 20 times before misbehaving."

An upcoming film celebrating the life and achievements of Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup, was expected to be one of the feel-good Aussie films of the year.
Ride Like A Girl is the debut feature directed by Oscar-nominated Melbourne actor Rachel Griffiths, and was scheduled be released to coincide with this year's Spring Racing Carnival.
But the police investigation into horse trainer Darren Weir, and the charges issued against him by Racing Victoria on Friday, has cast a shadow over the film.
Weir was the trainer who hired Payne for her historic Melbourne Cup victory on Prince Of Penzance in 2015.
Weir is played in Ride Like A Girl by Sullivan Stapleton opposite Teresa Palmer's Payne.
With Stapleton as the third-billed actor beneath Palmer and Sam Neill's as Payne's father Paddy, it's fair to assume Weir has to play a significant part in the film's narrative.
How the publicity about the charges against Weir and the ongoing police investigation will impact the film is yet to be seen.
Swinburne University screen studies lecturer Kaz Horsley said this week's developments could impact Ride Like A Girl in two key ways.
"One of them is … how things will impact the finished product, and the other aspect is how it will be received at the box office," Ms Horsley said.
She said real world events affecting films was not uncommon.
September 11 led to some movies, most notably Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, using computer effects to erase the World Trade Centre's twin towers from the skyline or plot.
Deaths of actors, such as Brandon Lee during the making of The Crow and Oliver Reed during filming of Gladiator, have also forced changes to productions.
The #MeToo movement also led to Kevin Spacey being removed from Ridley Scott's All The Money In The World late in post-production, with Spacey's role reshot with actor Christopher Plummer in his place.
Ms Horsley said another recent example was the Australian film Storm Boy, which stars Geoffrey Rush, who has faced accusations of inappropriate behaviour from female co-stars.
"I'm not sure how the controversy around Geoffrey Rush is going to actually impact [Storm Boy] … but I can't imagine that it won't," Ms Horsley said.
"Obviously it was too late after the film was made to change that character because the film was already made when all [the accusations] came out.
The difference between those examples and Ride Like A Girl is that the latter's troubles stem from a character based on a real-life person.
"In terms of these kinds of controversies and someone being a pivotal character … this is unique," Ms Horsley said.
"I would think [the filmmakers are discussing] how they can recut the film," Ms Horsley said.
"[They could] maybe shoot some extra scenes, and make [the character] less pivotal.
"But this would have a domino effect where your narrative is disrupted somehow, and you may have changed the narrative to the extent where the film doesn't make sense anymore.
While no release date is set, putting more time between this week's events and the film hitting cinemas could be helpful.
"I think that [pushing the release date might] be useful," Ms Horsley said.
"That old adage 'there's no such thing as bad publicity' is no longer relevant.
"I'm not convinced that they can just run it as it is," Ms Horsley said.
"[But they may just] release it and be damned, but have a disclaimer at the end [saying] these events were depicted in this period of time before [the investigation began].
"It's a cheap way out – 'this happened and the filmmakers were unaware of these events at the time' – just to let them off the hook a bit.
"But here's the problem – are we the audience going to be on the side of that character? Is it a sympathetic character in the film? Is it someone we're going to relate to? Is it someone that we want to be on their side?
"If it's going to be the 'feel-good story of the year' you don't want it to end on a bum note. It's really hard to know.
The ABC attempted to contact two of Ride Like A Girl's producers but they did not return calls.
Screen Australia and Film Victoria also declined to comment.

Private group unveils crowd-funded border wall despite legal hurdles
ElFlacodelNorte/iStock
Posted on May 31, 2019 by ABC News
(NEW YORK) — A crowdfunding effort to build a private border wall in New Mexico was unveiled this week after getting pushback from local officials over construction permits.We Build the Wall, the group organizing the project, is supported by the former White House adviser to President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and relies on more than $20 million raised from the crowdfunding site GoFundMe.The money was transferred to Fisher Industries, which has started building the barrier on private land in Sunland Park, but the city's mayor said it did not acquire the right permits before starting construction. That led the city to issue a cease and desist order earlier this week."If the company did do their due diligence beforehand, a lot of these issues could have been prevented," Sunland Mayor Javier Peras told reporters on Thursday.Brian Kolfage, founder of the We Build the Wall group, later said it had acquired the right permits and expects to continue."We are back to work building the wall! Here's new permit! WINNING!" Kolfage tweeted on Thursday.Trump's campaign promise to build a wall along the southern border has faced a variety of legal obstacles. Most of the border barrier construction projects completed since Trump took office have replaced existing fencing, making the barriers larger and more difficult to cross in some areas. In the Rio Grande Valley, plans to start construction on the first new miles of barriers have stalled since February.Organizers with the private group said they took on the project to help U.S. Border Patrol, but acknowledged it was not built in coordination with the federal government. An official for U.S. Customs and Border Protection told ABC News the new wall won't change how the agents conduct security protocols in the area."Our agents will continue to patrol in pursuit of operational control of the Southwest border," the official said in a statement.
