Last weekend I went down to Bristol to buy a tent. I went cycle camping in France in 2010, which I enjoyed. I stayed in B&Bs/hostels during my LEJOG attempt last year, but I'm planning a short camping holiday in June: I'll cycle down to Portsmouth, go round the Isle of Wight, then come home via Southampton.
I've been doing some research online over the past few months, and Hilleberg have a very good reputation. They're expensive, but I'm willing to pay extra for something that will last, and several people have been using the same tent for 20-30 years. (Taunton Leisure describe these tents as an investment.) Also, these tents are made in Europe (Estonia) rather than being outsourced to somewhere like China; I see this being a bit like "FairTrade", i.e. the tents have to cost more in order for the company to pay the staff a fair wage. I'm not planning to go on an Arctic expedition any time soon, but I'd rather have a strong tent in mild weather than a weak tent in severe weather. Dave's Wild Camping tested a Hilleberg Akto in 80mph wind, which is quite impressive, and that was in the UK (Cumbria). I was out cycling last Tuesday (15th May), and I was pummelled by hailstones 3 times, so even in the British summer I may have to deal with unexpectedly bad weather.
My main concern about the tent purchase was my height. I'm 1.86m tall (somewhere between 6'1" and 6'2"), and I like being taller than average. However, it does have a few drawbacks, e.g. I sometimes wind up with my knees wedged against the seat in front when I go to the theatre. Tent manufacturers always list their dimensions, but those can be misleading. For instance, I used a Quechua T3 in Breton, which was supposedly 2.15m long, but I was pretty much jammed in there. So, I wanted to try some tents out before I bought one, i.e. actually lie down inside them. There were a couple of camping shows in London earlier this year, e.g. The Motorhome, Caravan & Camping Show at the Excel Centre. Unfortunately, they didn't include any Hilleberg tents there. Taunton Leisure have stores in south-west England, and they're happy to put up tents within the shop; the trade-off is that it's a long way to go. Since they offer free delivery, I considered buying a tent online and then swapping it if necessary (to save money on train tickets), but in the end I decided that it would be better to see the tents in person.
Looking at the various tents, there were two figures that particularly interested me: the length and height of the sleeping area. (I'm less bothered about the width.) I don't want to touch the sides of the tent while I sleep, and I'd also like to be able to sit up in it. It's a bit tricky to measure myself, but when I sat down against the wall it looked as if my "bum to top of head" distance is about 97cm. So, 1m internal height would be fine, but 95cm would be slightly too small. Most people probably wouldn't notice that small difference, but I need to pay attention to this. It's similar to when I specced out my touring bike: looking at the seatposts, one of them had a weight limit of 91kg. Lighter cyclists can choose any seatpost without even thinking about this, but heavier cyclists need to be more careful.
I basically narrowed it down to a choice of 3 tents: the Akto (£395), the Nallo 2 GT (£645), and the Kaitum 2 GT (£795). The Akto is a 1-man tent, while the Nallo 2 and Kaitum 2 are both 2-man tents; GT means that there's a bigger vestibule outside the sleeping area.
I've looked at various reviews, but they seem to be inconsistent. For instance, the Akto is a 1-man tent: that means that there's enough space for one person to sleep inside, but all your luggage would have to go outside (e.g. in the vestibule area). One blog commenter said: "It has also enough space for a tall bloke like me (192cm/6'3?) with size 11 feet to lie down and not touch the inside of the tent." Similarly, someone at the Bushcraft UK forum said: "I'm 6' 2" and there's plenty of room for me inside it. That said, if I ever had to replace it I'd consider going for a Nallo 2, or Nallo 2 GT for the extra luxury / option to take a friend..." Then at the NWHikers.net forum, someone said: "I'm 6'4" and can easily sit up in my Nallo 3 (42") and my friend's Nallo 2. The Akto is 36" high and I can't sit up in it."
So, that all implies that I'd fit into an Akto but I'd have more space in a Nallo. Looking at Nallo reviews, TravellingTwo said: "Too short for tall people – If you're over 6 feet tall, you'll struggle to stretch out fully in this tent. Andrew is 5'11″ and his feet nearly touch the end." Similarly, at the CTC forum, someone said: "For me an important downside worth mentioning is that it is less than ideal for taller people. I have to make sure my feet don't touch the inner, and I am only 177cm." That applied to the Nammatj 3 GT, which is a heavy duty version of the Nallo, so I'd expect the same restriction to apply to both. (They're both 220cm long in the sleeping area.) By contrast, going back to the Bushcraft UK forum, someone said: "I have used my Nallo 2 with my son. I am 6'1" and he is 6'4" tall and, even with our gear, there was enough space on a number of backpacking trips that we have done together."
So, that's a bit odd; how does a taller person have more room than a shorter person? Over at Trailspace, someone said that Hilleberg use Rolph Hilleberg as the "model", and he's 6'4": this implies that if he can fit into all their tents then I should be fine. Someone else suggested an alternate theory: "For those that sleep on their backs, your toes are going to touch the inner fabric. In that case, get a model that has vertical entrances and exits." That sounds plausible, particularly if some people sleep curled up on their side in the foetal position. Still, it's encouraging that 2 people can share the 2-man tent, by putting all their luggage in the vestibule (still inside the outer tent). For now I'll be camping alone, but it's good to have the option of sharing a tent with someone else later. In fact, someone at the CTC forum said: "I lashed out on a Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT. It is probably way over the top for one person but I like the big space in the porch which is large enough to safely cook in when it is wet and big enough to put the bike in if you take the wheels off." So, that's why I've been looking at the GT versions of the tents, although I'm not convinced that it's a good idea to cook inside one.
"And taller users will find the Kaitum's plentiful floor space, vertical entrances, and vertical walls a roomy pleasure."
"They are also the best of our Kerlon 1200 tents for tall users."
"I had the Nallo GT 2, but sold it since my feet touched the inner. And I am 188 cm tall."
"I have the Hilleberg Kaitum 2 (not the GT version). What makes this tent ideal for tall people is the fact that both vestibules are at the head and toe ends of the tent, not on the side. This way the inner tent has perfect vertical walls near head and toes. Even if you would end up pushing against the end of the inner tent, there is still a vestibule behind it instead of the outer fly as would be the case with the Hilleberg Nallo or similar designs."
And someone from Trailspace: "I'm 6'4", and this tent is like a palace for me."
There are some photos of someone (5'11") sitting inside a Kaitum 2 GT at Moontrail. I looked at the 4th photo and thought "That doesn't look very big" then I realised that he was sitting in the vestibule and hadn't gone into the main sleeping area!
I think a lot of people are put off camping by the (perceived) hardship. That's basically why I chose to stay indoors during my LEJOG attempt last year: if I was going to be cycling long distances every day then I wanted to sleep in a proper bed each night. I don't really see the point of "glamping" (e.g. having 4-poster beds inside huge marquee tents), but if I'm going to live inside a tent for a while then I want it to be comfortable. Hiring a pitch for a night is always going to be cheaper than staying at a B&B (even when you add on the cost of breakfast), so in the long term the tent should pay for itself.
Armed with this information, I went down to Bristol. I went there on foot, but the store page says "We are also cycle friendly, you can bring your bike inside". On my way to the shop, I saw a signpost with one arrow pointing towards Bath and another arrow pointing towards Wells. This immediately made me think of Blackadder; specifically, "the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells". Logically, I suppose it makes sense that the places would be close together, but it's always an odd feeling when fiction intrudes into reality.
Anyway, I reached the shop, and explained what I was looking for. I think they have different staff specialising in different areas, e.g. one person might be an expert on hiking boots but not know much about stoves. I dealt with Will, who was very friendly and knew a lot about tents. All 3 of the Hilleberg tents I was considering are made out of "Kerlon 1200" fabric. Hilleberg have some advice about this: Kerlon 1200 or 1800? Will said that they had a piece of Kerlon 1200 fabric in the shop for a while, as part of a Hilleberg promotion. It had already been partly cut, and people were challenged to tear it: if they could, they'd get a free tent, but nobody managed it. So, I think that the 1200 will be fine for my purposes. Also, if I wanted the 1800 version of the Kaitum tent (the Keron), that doesn't come in a 2-man version; the Keron 3 GT is 4.8kg, so it would be significantly heavier, and I don't need that extra width.
When I held each tent (bagged up), I could immediately feel the weight difference between them, and the Kaitum was clearly heaviest. However, it's the same weight as the T3 that I carried around in France, so that's not a deal-breaker.
We started out by pitching the Nallo. All the tents felt a bit slippery on the outside: this is deliberate, so that water (or snow) will slide off more easily. The Nallo uses 3 poles, and they're colour coded so that you know which pole goes into each hole (based on a red stripe). Normally you'd use tent pegs to keep the guy ropes stretched out, but that's not practical on carpet. Instead, they had some velcro pads that looked a bit like giant keyrings. Each pad stuck to the carpet, then the ring clipped around the guy rope, and we put gas cylinders on top to weigh them down. I thought that was quite clever. When I lay down inside the Nallo, I found that my head was touching one wall (the door to the vestibule) while my toes were touching the opposite wall (at the sloping end). I also found that I had to duck my head when I knelt down. That was without a sleeping bag/mat, so I think it would be too small for me.
Next, we pitched the Kaitum. This really is a big tent: the GT version (4 poles) is about 5 metres long! Because of that, it didn't quite fit into their room, so the guy ropes were a little bit slack. However, I was able to lie down inside with plenty of room at the head/feet end. When I knelt down, my head was brushing against the ceiling but I could comfortably keep my back straight. As Will pointed out, this is the other advantage of vertical walls: the ceiling is pretty much a constant height, rather than only being tall at one end and sloping down. If the tent was fully under tension then I think the ceiling might go up by 1-2 cm, since it wouldn't be drooping in the middle.
Finally, I looked at the Akto (1 pole). There was another customer who wanted to look at that too, so I didn't feel too bad about putting the staff through all this work just on my account. Surprisingly, I actually had plenty of space to lie down in this too: my head/feet didn't touch either end. I think the key point is that there are short sections of vertical walls before it slopes inwards. However, height was a bit more of a problem, and it did feel a bit like lying in a coffin. I think that tent is more suited to backpackers than cyclists.
My main concern about the Kaitum was the length; would it be too big to fit into a single pitch at a campsite? Will said that it's unlikely to be a problem. Apparently the common restriction is height rather than length, because some campsites don't like big family tents. Thinking back to Breton, we got two tents and two bikes into a single pitch, so there should be enough space for one of these.
All things considered, I decided to buy the Kaitum 2 GT. I was leaning towards it anyway, but I'm glad that I tried it out first, if only to put my mind at rest. (This way I can justify spending the extra money.) Taunton Leisure currently have a promotion where you get a free "footprint" with each Hilleberg tent you buy; this is a bit like a groundsheet, i.e. it goes down first to protect the tent, and it covers the ground in the outer vestibule. The Kaitum 2 GT footprint would cost £95 if I bought it separately, so that's worth having. When I went to pay, Will encouraged me to sign up for a Privilege card. This isn't a credit card; it's more like a loyalty card at a supermarket, and it gives a 10% discount if you buy in store. The discount I got from that was more than the cost of my train journey down there, which was a nice surprise. So, I think that my trip was time and money well spent.
As a related issue, I've been thinking about electricity. The campsites in France had a blue "commando" socket on each pitch (presumably 16A), and I saw people plugging in their motorhomes. However, you can't plug a normal appliance into one of those. Instead, you need a "mains hook up" (see Electrics and Tents for a good overview). Taunton sell one of these (a Sunncamp model), but Will advised against buying one because it would be too heavy/bulky for me to carry around. Instead, he recommended that I ask nicely to borrow a plug socket when I go to a pub/restaurant and then plug in my netbook while I'm eating.
Speaking of food, I carried around a stove in France but I never used it. I did use the knife and plate a few times, when I bought bread and cheese, but I mainly ate out. When I was in the Scouts, we had a Calor gas stove but that was basically considered cheating so we only had a small amount of gas and we cooked most of our food over a campfire. I've been looking into a few options, and I quite like the look of the Honey Stove. However, I think I'll leave that for now, and just ease into this gradually. I'll already be carrying extra weight on this trip (tent and sleeping bag), and there's not much point having a stove unless I also carry food to cook on it. As for crockery/cutlery, opinions seem to be divided between enamel (the traditional material which I used as a kid) and melamine (modern plastic). Melamine is lighter, but it scratches, and some people claim that it affects the taste of the food. Enamel can chip, but it won't break; it also tends to get quite hot. I may get a spork though: partly because I think it's a funny name, and partly because I can then buy some (cold) food from a shop.
"If you sleep on your side, you need a hip pit.
If you sleep on your back, you need a bum pit.
And if you sleep on your front, you need a cockpit!"
Looking around now, most camping mats are inflatable. (By contrast, the traditional type is made of "closed cell foam".) I have an air bed that I bought from Argos, and I've used that when I've slept on a friend's floor, but I've never been very fond of it. However much I pump it up, it tends to give under my weight, e.g. if I roll onto my side then my elbow is effectively touching the floor. Also, it's quite noisy, so I feel guilty for disturbing someone else if I shift around and that means that I tend to lie in one position until I get so uncomfortable that I have to move. In fairness, though, the air bed and battery pump cost me £13 combined in 2003, so neither of them were exactly top of the range. The battery pump died fairly quickly, so I replaced it with a foot pump, but I wouldn't want to carry that around with me on the bike.
Part of me thinks that using any kind of camping mat is a bit soft/weedy, so I ought to just use my sleeping bag alone. However, I had some back problems last year (which led me to replace my mattress), and I'd prefer not to repeat that, particularly if the ground is cold.
There were several mats in the shop. I asked about length, but Will said that they're all the same. There were two that he specifically mentioned, and I opted for the one with a smaller pack size: the Thermarest Trail Pro. Actually, there was a mix-up at first, and he gave me the Thermarest Women's Trail Pro by mistake. Fortunately I noticed the label while I was paying, and there's no difference in price so he swapped them over. The only difference is that the women's version is shorter: 168cm.
On my way home, I had another look at the one I bought, and I realised that I had a new problem: my mat was 183cm long, so it's still too short for me. I think this demonstrates the problem with impulse purchases. I researched the tents carefully in advance, so I knew exactly what to look for, and I could hold up my end of the conversation. With the mat, I just picked one and said "that will do". It's not a disaster, because I haven't opened it yet so I can return it. The only reason I haven't done that already is that I'm trying to decide whether I want to get a straight refund or exchange it for one of their other mats.
I initially planned to go for the basic (solid) mat, but that's only 180cm long. I have a yoga mat at home that's the same length, which I use for press-ups (more comfortable than a wooden floor), and I wouldn't really want to sleep on it. I haven't found any mats like that online which are long enough for me.
Looking at the Thermarest website, they have an L version of this mat, which is 196cm long. That would suit me nicely, but unfortunately Taunton don't stock that version. So, I think Will was correct when he said that all their mats are the same length, but I didn't realise that there are longer mats elsewhere. So, I could simply get a refund from Taunton, then buy the L version from a different company (e.g. The Outdoor Shop).
* S = 163 x 52 cm.
* M = 183 x 52 cm.
* LW = 197 x 65 cm.
According to Facewest: "The Long Wide mat was previously named the DLX mat. Other than the name there is no change, it is possible that you may receive a mat marked DLX rather than LW."
Looking at that, I don't think it makes sense to get the TrailPro L, because it's significantly bigger/heavier than any of the other mats.
Exped advise you not to inflate their mats by blowing into them, because you'd get moisture inside. (That's more of an issue for down mats.) The non-UL SynMat has an integrated pump, so you push the mat down to inflate it, a bit like doing CPR (demo video). The UL version doesn't have that, so you need an external pump. However, that may actually be an advantage. It takes about 2 minutes of pumping to inflate a mat, and it's much quicker with an external shrink bag and Schnozzel (video); it only needed about 1½ bags worth of air. In February, someone from blogbackpackinglight said that they had to import the bag/Schnozzel from Germany. However, in April Alan Rayner found that a new product (pump bag) is available in the UK. This is apparently a fast moving industry! The pump bag is 70g, and its packed size is 22 x 5cm. So, the UL mat and the pump bag combined would still weigh less than the non-UL mat. I could get both from Facewest (£22.50 for pump bag, £90 for Synmat 7 UL LW).
Thermarest Trail Pro (the one I just bought).
Exped SynMat 7 UL LW + pump bag.
I'd welcome advice from anyone else who's been camping recently.
As for a pillow, here's what I said about Breton: "I didn't take a pillow with me, and that's probably the thing I missed most during the week. I used a pile of clothes as a substitute, which worked well on the first night, but then I left my jeans with my travelling bag (on purpose) so the pile was a bit smaller for the rest of the week; also, I gradually ran out of clean clothes!" There are inflatable pillows, and some of these double up as pumps (to inflate the mat). Will recommended a down jacket with a "stuff sack". That way I could use it as a pillow at night and wear the jacket when I'm sitting around the campsite in the evening. I wouldn't want to wear one while cycling, because I'd roast, but I will get colder when I'm not moving. As with the mat, I'd prefer synthetic over down, but presumably the same principle applies. Anyway, I've left that for now.
All in all, I still have some preparation to do, but I think I'm making progress.
I'd agree - it's not critical that the Thermarest reaches from head-to-toe. I used a 3/4 Thermarest for a long time and was happy with it. I now mostly use a deeper mat (Stormlite, nothing special), which inflates to about 1 inch thick and it's quite luxurious but too big to easily cycle camp. Caroline has a new super-duper mat that I hope she'll tell you about.
Thanks for the tip, and I'd be interested to hear about Caroline's mat.
Thanks, that's useful. My only concern is that if I open the packaging on my current mat, it may be harder to return it. A few people have mentioned "3/4 length" - do you know how long that is in cm?
I won't be in a position to take a tape measure to mine for another week, but I think it's about 120cm long.
Camping mats aren't weedy! The main use of a mat is to keep you insulated from the floor, not as padding.
When you lie in your sleeping bag, all the filling in the bottom is crushed and you have virtually no insulation there. You'll really notice this on cold ground as it gradually conducts the heat away from your body.
I use a 3/4 thermarest which I've had for 15 years and the only punctures have been inflicted by me, normally involving carelessness with a knife or hot object, all were fixed in the field using the supplied repair kit.
We have a Hilleberg tent, they are great but they are heavy for their size. Ours has stood up to Arctic F10 gales in Iceland without any worry at all. I wouldn't buy one for cycle touring, I'd go for something that packs up smaller and lighter but they are good tents.
Thanks for the endorsement - I think there was a bit of a Molesworth influence kicking in there. Thinking back to Scout camps, we normally slept fully clothed (e.g. 2 rugby shirts) to stay warm, so a mat does make sense. And I'm glad to hear that the Hilleberg tents live up to their reputation.
Sleeping mats were one of their earlier products, and they have a whole range of sizes, lengths and weights. I'd definitely recommend the self-inflating type camping mattress over every other kind. Don't buy a down camping mattress (or for that matter a down sleeping bag or down jacket) for use in the UK, they're hopeless when they get wet and you have to be careful how you store them. I have an Alpkit Wideboy mat, which is a compromise between pack size and comfort.
I second elvum's comment about an empty pillowcase.
I also second his comment about electrical hookups. Don't bother - the kit you need is going to be too bulky to take with you. Charging your appliances in a cafe is a much better idea.
I bought an MSR "Hubba Hubba" lightweight tent a couple of years ago and am very impressed with it. A particularly nice feature is that you can use it on its own for ultralight trips, but add a thicker groundsheet ("footprint", sold separately) to protect it if needed. They even sell an extension unit for it (called a "gear shed") that gives extra space for storing stuff in the dry.
My polar guide chums all vouch for the general excellence of Hilleberg tents, so should you ever wish to ski to the South Pole you'll find that you already own a suitable tent!
Stoves: I have a mini Camping Gaz stove, the kind that fits onto the top of a small gas cylinder. Buy the kind that takes the more modern resealable cartridges (CV 270, CV300, CV 470) because these allow you to remove the stove from the cartridge without leaking gas everywhere. Camping Gaz are a French company and their cartridges are widely available in Europe. Gas stoves don't perform as well at low temperatures (i.e < +5C) as liquid-fuel stoves, but they are light, convenient and very easy to use. I would strongly recommend one.
Cookware: Alpkit have excellent lightweight titanium cookware at very sensible prices. My brother and sister-in-law used the Orikaso folding plastic plates/bowls on their cycle-tour of Europe and found them to be pretty good.

Meet Glen Campbell was Glen's first album of new secular music since 1999's My Hits and Love Songs, which was a two disc set with one disc being a greatest hits collection and the other disc new recordings representing Glen's takes on various pop hits and pop standards of the previous decades. Before that the last Glen Campbell album of truly new material had been Somebody Like That, which was released in 1993.
The standard release of Meet Glen Campbell contained ten tracks from a variety of sources.
This is followed by a pair of Tom Petty compositions in "Walls" and "Angel Dreams". The arrangement of Walls" at times reminds me of "Galveston" with its heavy use of orchestral arrangements (the intro particularly reminds me of "Galveston". "Angel Dreams" has a more acoustic arrangement with banjo evident in the arrangement.
"These Days" is an old Jackson Browne song from the late 1960s, that Browne recorded for his second solo album back in 1973. This track has less orchestration that "Times Like These". I've never been a big Jackson Browne fan but I've always liked this song.
Next up is a pretty ballad from, the pen of Paul Westerberg, "Sadly Beautiful", I'm guessing that I hear a viola in the arrangement, but I could be wrong.
"All I Want Is You" from U2's album Rattle and Hum. I do not like U2 at all but I do like Glen's recording of their song. Again, this sounds like an Al De Lory arrangement.
I don't normally think of Lou Reed (Velvet Underground) as writing religious material, but "Jesus" is an excellent song, one that I can easily see as appealing to Campbell.
Billy Joe Armstrong wrote "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". Glen's version here features some nice mandolin work by George Doering.
The standard version of the album closes with a John Lennon song "Grow Old With Me", a song intended for release on an album Lennon never got to make. Glen's vocals are spot on, but I feel that the instrumental accompaniment should have been a little more subdued. Some things require time to fully appreciate. I am now 63 years old and my wife and I have been married for forty years. These lyrics mean much more to me today than they did when first I heard them.
The Limited Edition, available only at Walmart, featured some remixes of some earlier hits, notably "Gentle On My Mind", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston", and "Rhinestone Cowboy". The remixes are very good and do no violence to the originals.
This album features an update version of the Al De Lory sound that propelled Campbell to stardom in the late 1960s. Although I prefer De Lory's arranglements, producers Julian Raymond and Howard Willing did an admirable job of replicating and updating the De Lory sound. De Lory was still alive when these tracks were recorded in 2008 (he was then 78 years old) – I wonder what he thought of this album.
This album introduced (or re-introduced) me to a group of songwriters that previously I had overlooked or ignored.
If Elvis was the King, Carl Perkins was the commoner who became a widely respected elder statesman of rock and roll music. Much more of a country boy than Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins perhaps saw his shot at superstardom ruined by a car accident that killed Carl's brother Jay and put Carl out of commission just as his hit "Blue Suede Shoes" ascended to the top of the country charts (it would reach #2 on the pop charts).
He was well liked in the music community and while Carl was at a low point in his career (and in battling personal demons), Johnny Cash added Carl as parting of his road show package. Carl would spend ten years touring with Cash. While part of the Cash show, Carl penned "Daddy Sang Bass" which would spend six weeks as a country number one for Johnny Cash, and Tommy Cash would have a top ten record with another Perkins composition "Rise and Shine". In 1991 the New Nashville Cats (Mark O'Connor, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs and Steve Wariner took Carl's "Restless" back into the country top thirty.
Unlike some singers who sound good only when performing their own hits, Carl seemed to be able to sing anybody's material and make sound as if it was especially composed for him. Virtually any Carl Perkins recording is worth hearing.
Texas-based Aaron Watson is one of the best kept secrets of Texas country music, less Red Dirt and more what used to be mainstream country. His voice has a cracked warmth and character, and he is a talented songwriter to boot, writing most of the songs without outside assistance. Although I don't feel the material here quite matches up to the best of his songs from previous efforts, it is generally very good. This album, Aaron's tenth overall, was recorded mainly in Austin. I can't see any producer credits, so assume Aaron filled that role himself.
The awkward phrase "knees and hands" (inserted thus to allow for a rhyme) jars a little, but this is a memorable song based on an arresting image.
Does a shooting star miss the sky when it hits the ground?
And how long can a woman go on lovin' you if you're not around?
It is the road, though, that forms the principal focus. 'The Things You'll Do' opens as an ebullient up-tempo look at life as at touring musician on the road, rough bars and bar fights, sleeping in vans and not getting paid are quenching his love for making music. The second verse translates the message to sacrifices made for love of a woman.

All About Sacred Plant And Holy basil 'Tulsi'
Tulsi also known as Holy basil and Vrinda, is a sacred plant in Hindu belief. She is regarded as the avatar of Goddess Lakshmi, and thus the consort of the god Vishnu. The offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of Vishnu and his avatars like Krishna and Vithoba. In Hindu vedas, Tulsi is known as Vaishnavi ("belonging to Vishnu"), Vishnu Vallabha ("beloved of Vishnu"), and Haripriya ("beloved of Vishnu"). The Tulsi with green leaves is called Shri-Tulsi ("fortunate Tulsi") as Shri is also a synonym for Goddess Lakshmi. This variety is also known as Rama-Tulsi ("bright Tulsi"), Rama is also one of the principal avatars of Vishnu. The Tulsi with dark green or purple leaves and purple stem is called Shyama-Tulsi or Krishna-Tulsi ("dark Tulsi").
Vaishnavas traditionally use japa malas made from Tulsi stems or roots called Tulsi malas, which are an important symbol of the initiation. Tulsi's great connection with Vaishnavas is communicated with the fact that Vaishnavas are known as "those who bear the tulsi round the neck".
Many Hindus have tulsi plants growing in front of or near their home, often in special pots or a special masonry structure known as Tulsi Vrindavanas this is related to their culture. Traditionally, Tulsi is planted in the center of the central courtyard of Hindu houses. A person who waters and cares for the Tulsi daily is believed to gain moksha (salvation) and the divine grace of Vishnu, even if he does not worship it. Though daily worship is prescribed, Tuesdays and Fridays are considered especially sacred for Tulsi worship. The Tulsi plant is often worshipped twice in a day: in the morning and in the evening, when a lamp or candle is lit near the plant.
Once upon a time, King Vrishadhvaja (a devotee of the god Shiva) banned worship of all other deities except for that of his patron god. An agitated sun god Surya cursed him that he would be abandoned by Lakshmi. Upset, Shiva pursued Surya, who fled, finally seeking shelter with Vishnu. Vishnu said to the deities that years had passed on earth. Vrishadhvaja and also his heir son were dead and his grandchildren—Dharmadhvaja and Kushadhvaja, were now worshiping Lakshmi to gain her favor. Lakshmi rewarded their efforts by being born as their daughters Tulsi to Dharmadhvaja and Vedavati to Kushadhvaja, respectively.
In time, Tulsi gave up all her royal comfort and went to Badrinath to perform penance to gain Vishnu as her husband. The god Brahma was pleased with her penance but told her that she would have to marry the demon Shankhachuda before she could marry Vishnu. Sudama, a part-incarnation of Lord Krishna was born on earth as the demon (Shankhachuda) due to a curse. Shankhachuda, who also pleased Brahma with his penance, was granted the Vishnu-Kavacha (armour of Vishnu) and blessed that as long as his wife's chastity was retained and Vishnu-Kavacha was on his body, no one could slay him. Shankhachuda and Tulsi were soon married.
Shankhachuda was filled with pride and terrorized the beings of the universe. To rescue the universe, Shiva challenged Shankhachuda to war, while Vishnu went to Tulsi to break her chastity. Vishnu assumed the form of Shankhachuda and compelled Tulsi to have coitus. With her chastity broken, Shankhachuda was killed and Sudama was freed of his curse. In middle of their lovemaking, Tulsi recognized the impersonator. Vishnu appeared in his true form and urged Tulsi to abandon her earthly body and return to his celestial abode as Lakshmi, his wife. Tulsi's mortal remains decayed and became the Gandaki River, while her hair transformed into the sacred Tulsi plant.
A variant of the legend replaces Shankhachuda with Jalandhara and the name Tulsi with Vrinda (a synonym of the Tulsi plant). It concentrates on the tale of Vishnu destroying Vrinda's chastity to lead to the death of Jalandhara by Shiva. In this legend, Tulsi is distinct from Lakshmi. The legend ends with Vrinda cursing Vishnu to become a stone, turning him the Shaligram stone (which are found only in the Kali Gandaki River of Nepal) and God Vishnu transforming Vrinda into the Tulsi plant. She gain the status of a goddess named Tulsi, while his earthly form is the Tulsi plant.
Just as Tulsi respect is rewarding, her contempt attracts the wrath of Vishnu. Precautions are taken to avoid this. It is taboo to urinate, excrete or throw waste water near the plant. Uprooting and cutting branches of the plant is prohibited. When the plant withers, the dry plant is immersed in a water body with due religious rites as is the custom for broken divine images, which are unworthy for worship. Though Tulsi leaves are necessary for Hindu worship, there are strict rules for it. A prayer of forgiveness may also be offered to Tulsi before the act.

THE METABOLIC FATE OF CHLORTETRACYCLINE AND SOME COMPARISONS WITH OTHER TETRACYCLINES
H. J. Eisner and R. J. Wulf
Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics October 1963, 142 (1) 122-131;

R. J. Wulf
The metabolism of C14-labeled chlortetracycline following oral, intraperitoneal and intravenous administration in the rat and intravenous administration in the dog has been studied. In addition a comparison of the routes of excretion of total radioactivity from C14-chlortetracycline, C14-4-epichlortetracycline, H3-tetracycline and C14-demethylchlortetracycline after intravenous administration to these animals was undertaken.
The recovery of the administered radioactivity in the urine and feces of rats dosed orally or intravenously with C14-chlortetracycline varied from 76% to 97% of the dose after 48 to 72 hours. At this time only 33% to 70% of the administered microbiological activity was found. That portion of the dose excreted in the urine of dogs given this compound intravenously showed a similar relationship with the recovery of radioactivity being 48% while the microbiological recovery was 13%. The excreted C14, when examined by paper strip chromatography, was associated with two major components. These corresponded in Rf to unchanged chlortetracycline and to the microbiologically inactive 4-epichlortetracycline. Treatment of these components with acid or base yielded degradation products which were chromatographically similar to the respective anhydro or iso derivative. In the excreta of some of the animals, small amounts of a blue fluorescing material that corresponded to isochlortetracycline were observed.
Following intravenous administration of C14-labeled chlortetracycline, 4-epichlortetracycline or demethylchlortetracycline or H3-labeled tetracycline, significant amounts of radioactivity were excreted via the feces. Chlortetracycline and 4-epichlortetracycline were excreted to the greatest extent (40 to 50% of the dose) by this pathway followed in order by demethylchlortetracycline (15 to 30%) and tetracycline (9 to 20%).

The Loisaida Center is proud to announce
2016 Artist Residency Recipient:
The objective was to create an installation in the Loisaida outdoor patio space that stems from the artist's interest in sensorial experience and memory in order to activate the "empty grey space" to match the vibrance of the surrounding community gardens.
Florencia Escudero was born in Singapore in 1987 and was nationalized and raised in Argentina. She has lived and travelled extensively throughout the world to places like Caracas, Kuala Lumpur, Buenos Aires, Houston, Den Haag, Quito, and Dakar, and she is a multimedia artist working predominantly in the field of sculpture, photography, video, and drawing. Her work seeks to explore her sensorial experience of the world around her through the collection of images and creation of objects, and she is curious about how information is selected and processed. In order to understand this phenomenon, she explores the relationship between object and image and fact and fiction through collapsing both past and present into the same space. Florencia Escudero received a Masters in Fine Arts from Yale University in 2012 and a B.A. in fine arts from the School of Visual Arts in 2010. She received a full scholarship to attend Pilchuck Glass School Residency in 2010 and has attended the Nebraska Art Farm Residency in 2013. Her work can be seen in different publications such as Trapper Keeper, CREEPS annual, and Precog Magazine. She has shown her work at Coohaus gallery, Distillery gallery, Splatterpool, Asya Geisberg, and Y gallery, and she participated in a performance at PS1 organized by the CREEPS collective in 2012. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in Barranquilla, Colombia in a show curated by Edwin Padilla and in Seoul, South Korea where she has screened and curated video art.
The finished installation featured Escudero's monochromatic palate pieces to highlight the difference between organic green life and the artificial as well as eliciting the experience of cinema and its history. The artist aimed to create objects that take time-based experiences and freeze them in the moment, and the artist visited local gardens and documented them, using the photographs to create a large scale face for the installation. The installation was majorly informed by Gullivera by Milo Manera, and the artist intended to retell the story to "push this experience of scale by making a huge book and have it contrast with other objects in the space that are miniature/varied sizes so when the audience ventures throughout the space their relationship to the objects change. The title GULIVER X refers to this character in the novel and imagines it as post gender one." The installation also drew on the connection between Manhattan and Puerto Rico as islands. The artist's goal was to create "programming that can occur while [she was] at the residency so [she] [could] attract a new audience to the center that otherwise would not know or visit. [She] also hope[d] that through the installation [she] [could] create objects that have a sense of humor and that the audience can interact with."
Part of the artist's practice involves collaborating with different artists. She would like to screen a new video that she has worked on with Stephen Decker, who has created a score for it, and she would also like to screen videos by other artists the same night and invite Stephen to do a musical performance. Additionally, the Artist Karen Tepaz has been invited to give a prop-making workshop. Tepaz's workshop invites the visitors of the Loisaida Festival to create something to wear, and she then photographs them wearing their creations. Escudero has also invited the "Colectiva cósmica" to give a collage making workshop. It was important for Escudero to work with these artists because they are women as well as Latin American.

Statement by Florencia Escudero
GULIVER X is a proposal that I have been developing through visiting the Losaida outdoor patio space. My intention in transforming this space stems from an interest in sensorial experience and memory. On my way to Losaida I noticed the contrast with this empty grey space and the surrounding community gardens and I felt that it was important to activate this space.
By working within a monochromatic palate my intention is to highlight the difference between the organic green life and the artificial. The monochromatic is also a result of an interest in cinema and its history. I want to create objects that take time-based experiences and freeze them in a moment.
In order to create this installation I want to visit local gardens and get to know and document the neighborhood through taking pictures that I will then use to create a video of still images in the shape of a giant face.
While I was making the black and white objects I continued to think about cinema and the different effects that are used to create illusions. This led me to the retelling of Guliver's travels by Milo Manara. In the original there was a man that would wake up in a different land each time he fell asleep. Each time he went to a different land his relationship to the land would change. Sometimes the land was full of talking animals, he became a giant or he became smaller than a mouse.
In the retelling by Milo Manara the story became erotic and instead of a man a woman was the one venturing through the lands. I wanted to push this experience of scale by making a huge book and have it contrast with other objects in the space that are miniature/varied sizes so when the audience ventures throughout the space their relationship to the objects change. The title GULIVER X refers to this character in the novel and imagines it as post gender one. I also thought that it was interesting to explore the connection of the book with the idea of visiting different islands, since the island of manhattan is so closely connected to the Puerto Rican island.
Part of my practice as an artist involves collaborating with different artists. I would like to screen a new video that I have worked on with Stephen Decker, who has created a score for it. I would like to screen videos by other artists the same night and invite Stephen to do a musical performance.
I invited the Artist Karen Tepaz to give a prop-making workshop. Her workshop invites the Losaida fest visitors to create something to wear and then she will photograph them wearing their creations. I have also invited the "Colectiva cosmica" to give a collage making workshop. It was important for me to work with these artists because they are women and Latin American. My goal is to create programming that can occur while I am at the residency so I can attract a new audience to the center that otherwise would not know or visit. I also hope that through the installation I can create objects that have a sense of humor and that the audience can interact with.

The Gay Divorcee is a 1934 American musical film directed by Mark Sandrich and starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It also features Alice Brady, Edward Everett Horton, Eric Blore and Erik Rhodes, and was based on the Broadway musical Gay Divorce written by Dwight Taylor from an unproduced play by J. Hartley Manners, which was adapted into a musical by Kenneth S. Webb and Samuel Hoffenstein. The film's screenplay was written by George Marion Jr., Dorothy Yost and Edward Kaufman. Robert Benchley, H. W. Hanemann and Stanley Rauh made uncredited contributions to the dialogue.
The stage version included many songs by Cole Porter, most of which were left out of the film, "Night and Day" being the only exception. Although the film's screenplay changed most of the songs, it kept the original plot of the stage version. The film features three members of the play's original cast repeating their stage roles - Astaire, Rhodes, and Eric Blore. The Hays Office insisted on the name change, from "Gay Divorce" to "The Gay Divorcee", believing that while a divorcee could be gay or lighthearted, it would be unseemly to allow a divorce to appear so. In the United Kingdom, the film was released with the original name of the play, Gay Divorce.
The Gay Divorcee was a box office hit and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1934.
This film was the second of ten pairings of Rogers and Astaire on film.
Mimi Glossop (Ginger Rogers) arrives in England to seek a divorce from her geologist husband Cyril, whom she has not seen for several years. Under the guidance of her domineering and much-married aunt Hortense (Alice Brady), she consults incompetent and bumbling lawyer Egbert Fitzgerald (Edward Everett Horton), once a fiancé of her aunt. He arranges for her to spend a night at a seaside hotel and to be caught in an adulterous relationship, for which purpose he hires a professional co-respondent, Rodolfo Tonetti (Erik Rhodes). But Egbert forgets to arrange for private detectives to "catch" the couple.
By coincidence, Guy Holden (Fred Astaire) an American dancer and friend of Egbert's, who briefly met Mimi on her arrival in England, and who is now besotted with her, also arrives at the hotel, only to be mistaken by Mimi for the co-respondent she has been waiting for. While they are in Mimi's bedroom, Tonetti arrives, revealing the truth, and holds them "prisoner" to suit the plan. They contrive to escape and dance the night away.
In the morning, after several mistakes with the waiter, Cyril Glossop (William Austin) arrives at the door, so Guy hides in the next room, while Mimi and Tonetti give a show of being lovers. When Cyril does not believe them, Guy comes out and embraces Mimi in an attempt to convince him that he is her lover, but to no avail. It is an unwitting waiter (Eric Blore) who finally clears the whole thing up by revealing that Cyril himself is an adulterer, thus clearing the way for Mimi to get a divorce and marry Guy.
The Continental (w. Herb Magidson m. Con Conrad) which won the first Academy Award for Best Original Song, and is the music to the twenty-minute dance sequence towards the end of the film, sung by Ginger, Erik Rhodes and Lillian Miles, danced by Ginger and Fred. Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra recorded the music in their very first RCA Victor recording session, in Boston's Symphony Hall, on July 1, 1935; the recording can be heard on Youtube.
According to RKO records the film earned $1,077,000 in the US and Canada and $697,000 elsewhere resulting in a profit of $584,000.

Kitchen Karma: Cold Coffee with Vanilla Ice Cream on a Lazy Summer Afternoon!
The ceiling fan makes a whirring sound while it struggles to circulate the air in the room. All the window shutters are firmly closed and the curtains are tightly drawn to keep away the fierce afternoon sun. The DJ on a popular FM Radio channel rattles on with determined single-minded cheerfulness. Sometimes, just sometimes she remembers to play a song or two.
It is mid afternoon on a hot & sticky April day. Lunch is over and so are the household chores till evening. Siesta time in Kolkata.
Somewhere between kesar kulfi and mango lassi I fall asleep. But daydreams are difficult to shed off, so when I wake-up I rummage through my mother's refrigerator and pantry looking for ingredients for a cool and refreshing drink. What I find are-- few remaining pieces from a bar of coffee flavoured chocolate, vanilla ice cream, milk, coffee....more or less all the ingredients for a cold coffee.
It takes me less than 5 minutes to whip up a frothy cold coffee. To make the drink cooler, smoother, tastier, richer, more calorie heavy, I add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is bliss. The drink, that is. Needless to say it takes me much less than 5 minutes to drink it up.
Do you want to drink some too? Oh well I can share this easy-peasy recipe and I am sure you can also make this in no time.
Now sit back and enjoy the drink!
cholbe! Suchi didi, eita dekhe ki je bhoyanok jolteshta pachhe ki bolbo!!
Such an innovative recipe write up!
And how I wish I could have a ready made glass of the cold coffee! I want someone to make it for me.. to lazy and hot to make it on my own!
Same here Gauri the heat is making me feel really lazy!
Suchi I love your writing style, n the coffee shake too. Nothing like this to beat the heat I say!!!
A seductive intro and a seductive drink with a chill for the throat. Awesome, the intro and the drink.
Hi Suchi what nice and lovely recipe! I love it!
delicious... but feel like eating it right now...!!!
I was very fascinated by your website http://suchi-kitchenkarma.blogspot.com/ and I feel that it caters to the traffic that is also immediately relevant to what we offer, I was wondering if you would be willing to advertise our products in your site. A partnership between us, where you would be earning commissions ranging from 12-30% from sales made through your website.

Accessories are made to adorn necks, ears, fingers, and lapels where they often serve the purpose of enhancing and adding a bit of interest. Yet, there is one accessory that isn't purely decorative as it performs a specific task. It keeps us on schedule and aware of how quickly time is fleeting. If you haven't guessed already, that functional item is a watch. One company, which has been making timepieces since 1839, not only provides sensible watches, but both beauty and innovation are at the helm of what has made Patek Philippe successful for almost two centuries.
The company had humble beginnings with Antoni Patek, a Polish watchmaker, and Franciszek Czapek formed Patek, Czapek & Cie in May of 1839. Unfortunately – or fortunately, depending on how you look at it – the men parted ways and liquidated in 1845. Both went on to start their own companies with Patek naming his Patek & Cie.
Meanwhile, in 1844, French watchmaker Jean Adrien Philippe entered his keyless winding and hand-setting mechanism into a competition at the Industrial Exposition in Paris. He won a bronze medal for his design and subsequently obtained the patent for his idea in 1845. Patek and Philippe joined forces in 1845, and the company was renamed Patek, Philippe & Cie in 1851.
Often referred to as the "Holy Grail brand" of watchmakers, these modest beginnings laid the foundation for the brand Patek Philippe. Their work was pioneering and began to be noticed by customers and other companies alike. In 1851 Queen Victoria acquired a lovely blue keyless pendant watch featuring rose-cut diamonds within a bouquet. A timepiece suspended from an enamel and diamond brooch was also in the queen's collection.
Enter Tiffany & Co.
That same year Patek Philippe began working with Tiffany & Co. in a relationship that continues to this day. The Patek Philippe designs won silver medals in both the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations in 1853 and the 1855 World's Fair, both in New York City. With the US as an intrigue, Patek traveled around the United States until he had orders for 150 watches. His drive was impressive to Tiffany & Co, which was a partner whose relationship Patek wanted to grow and foster.
While Patek focused on the business end of things, Philippe was using his creativity and knowledge to develop and implement new techniques into the designs of Patek Philippe, including their first wristwatch in 1868. The duo of Patek and Philippe was a perfect combination as the company's name continued to be associated with elegant and technically innovative timepieces.
Changes, Challenges and Calatrava
In March of 1877, at the age of 65, Patek passed away. The Calatrava Cross became the registered company logo of Patek Philippe, and in 1891 Philippe handed his position in the business over to his youngest son, Emile Philippe. The older Philippe passed away in 1894. In 1901, the company remained a family run business with the addition of seven shareholders.
During the depression in 1932, the Swiss Stern brothers – Jean and Charles Henri – purchased Patek Philippe, and the Stern family still owns the company to this day. It continued to thrive and produce pioneering designs under the Sterns, which included the notable Calatrava watch. Designer David Penney designed the first Calatrava timepiece.
Penney wanted to produce a watch that was classic, understated, and elegant. In 1932 pocket watches were still the norm, so he designed the Calatrava as a timeless wristwatch, which was named after the cross symbol of the 12th century Calatrava Knights. Coincidentally, Patek Philippe had already registered the Calatrava Cross design as a trademark 45 years earlier. Today these watches sell in the $20-$30,000 range at auction, and they are considered a must-have by many watch collectors. The company continues to produce new styles of Calatrava watches.
Leaving a Mark on Watch Making History
In 1944 Patek Philippe won a record number of prizes at the Geneva Observatory competition for their work in precision. Their work is so precise that in 1962, a tourbillion movement watch achieved the world timekeeping precision record – an achievement that remains unbroken to this day. Other models and collections followed, such as the 1968 Golden Eclipse collection, the 1976 Nautilus model, and the 150th-anniversary watch in 1989 that included 33 complications, such as moon phases, a minute repeater, and a perpetual calendar.
Patek Philippe manufactures the components for their watches, and they continue to produce timepieces with mechanical movements and either winding or automatic mechanisms. Besides, they constructed quartz watches and were one of the 20 original Swiss companies that collaborated to develop the Swiss quartz movements.
To this day, the company has made insurmountable contributions to the watchmaking industry. They hold over 100 patents, which include patents on the perpetual calendar mechanism, self-winding mechanism, double chronograph, and time zone watches.

Queen Victoria wasn't their only fan. Actors, artists, and several other social elites have worn Patek Philippe timepieces. Notable names include Marie Curie, Pablo Picasso, Nelson Mandela, Walt Disney, JP Morgan, Charlotte Bronte, John F Kennedy, Clark Gable, Andy Warhol, and Albert Einstein, who owned a gold pocket watch.
The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has over 400 retail locations around the globe and is one of the oldest watch manufacturers with a continuous history since its founding. A museum that chronicles the Patek Philippe story and showcases timepieces founded in Geneva in 2001.
Patek Philippe in Modern TImes
The company is now headed up by president Thierry Stern of the original purchasing family. The Patek Philippe slogan of, "You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation," reigns true. Although the purchaser who paid the highest price ever recorded at an auction for a pocket watch - almost 24 million dollars for a Patek Philippe in 2014 - surely hopes he owns his. No matter what, the legacy and innovativeness of this company are still very much intact.


SAN JOSE, Calif. (WOMENSENEWS)— Skim milk or 2 percent? What's even the difference? Skim milk is supposed to be healthier, right? But it just tastes like water pretending to be milk.
I'm in the dairy aisle at my local supermarket. Sweats, t-shirt, hair not having been washed in several days and all I want is milk for my Cheerios. So why is it turning into an existential crisis?
I look out of the corner of my eye and see a kid standing there. He's nine, maybe. This wouldn't be an issue in any other 17-year old girl's life. Yet for me, he stands there with his blue eyes flicking between my legs and my hands and his mouth hanging open like a fish gasping for water.
I quickly put both cartons down, cross my arms to hide my hands and stand very still. Walking away would make things worse. With my awkward gait and obvious differences, it would just attract more attention.
Stand very still and stay calm, I tell myself. They can smell fear.
I'm an amputee of both of my legs, one below the knee and one above, and all my fingers except my thumbs. I'm physically functional, you could say. Despite years of physical therapy since my amputations at age three, I have never gained my desired level of mobility.
They're right. I'm not treated as a human being, but instead, as an object to be observed and prodded at—a walking and talking encyclopedia of disabilities.
I turn and look at the kid at the supermarket. We make eye contact. I've been told I'm intimidating, so I glare back. The kid ignores my look and continues to stare at me as if I'm a circus freak.
I wish I had someone to talk to who shared my situation. Instead I've been through countless fruitless conversations with countless clueless non-amputee friends.
"They're just curious," people say, brushing aside the deep-set insecurities years of isolation from the general public caused me.
Years of isolation from anyone who could relate.
I imagine what it would be like to know another girl with amputations similar to mine. We could talk, exchange stories, support, advise, love and accept each other. Someone to understand what it's like to be told, "I'm sorry, I really like you, but I just can't date an amputee." Someone to understand what it's like to be asked, "Could you join the track team? I really think you'll make the rest of the runners feel better about themselves." Someone who understands, period.
I'm not afforded that luxury. I've met adult amputees, but they've passed the stages I'm currently struggling through. They look through their teen years with rose-tinted glasses.
"Just accept yourself," they say.
Maybe I just want someone to help me get there—a partner to climb our own personal Everest.
The kid and I are still in a deadlock. Our audience? Yoplait yoghurt. The referee? Grated cheddar cheese. My coach is the skim milk yelling at me from the sidelines.
"It's not polite to stare," I say.

Essential Therapies offers The John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach® (JFB MFR) form of treatment. Pain and dysfunction resulting from myofascial restrictions can cause crushing pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on vital structures throughout the body. These restrictions do not show up in most standard tests such as x-ray, MRI, CT scans. The traditional medical approach focuses on treating the symptom which does nothing to relieve the "straight-jacket" of pressure that is causing the pain from restricted fascia throughout the body. Relief of symptoms is often temporary because the true cause of the symptom is not addressed. JFB MFR treats the entire myofascial mind/body complex by eliminating the pressure causing the symptoms. JFB MFR will safely and gently release the "straight-jacket" resulting in lasting results and authentic healing.
Our bodies are held together with an extensive connective tissue network. It is what shapes, forms and protects our bodies, and holds our skeleton together, keeping organs, vessels and muscles in their place. Fascia is the toughest portion of this connective tissue network. Resembling an intricate spider web, it spreads throughout the body touching every single cell from head to toe without interruption.
Trauma, inflammation, infection, injury and posture can create a binding down of tissues or tension within the fascia; often resulting in excessive pressure on multiple structures throughout the body including nerves, vessels, bones, and organs. This fascial straightjacket of pressure can cause pain, numbness, tingling, stiffness and a general feeling of disorder in the body.
Although a restricted fascial system can cause a multitude of discomforts and disease, it is seldom diagnosed as the problem because it cannot be discerned by standard testing (such as x-rays, MRI, CT scan, EMG, etc).
John F. Barnes is a Physical Therapist (PT), Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), and has his National Certification for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCTMB).
Barnes is an internationally recognized physical therapist, an author, offers lectures for his methods, and the leading authority on Myofascial Release.
Through over 50 years of experience and creative thinking, Barnes has developed the most innovative and highly acclaimed and effective whole body approach to evaluate and treat the pain and dysfunction in the body.
Myofascial Release treatment has grown in the therapy scene with an undisputed impact and often referred to as the most effective form of healthcare therapy.
What is the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach (JFBMFR)?
The JFBMFR approach uses gentle sustained pressure to areas of fascial restriction (throughout the body) for a period of time long enough to create a complete and lasting release of the tissues. The "release" requires gentle but firm pressure for a minimum of 5 minutes. This essential "time element" is what separates JFBMFR from the old forms of myofascial release (MFR) and other types of bodywork. This approach promotes a bioelectrical flow in the body, produces our own natural anti-inflammatory agent, and rehydrates at the cellular level. The result is relief from the crushing pressure of a restricted fascial system.
JFBMFR fosters "resonance" between the therapist and the patient. Vibratory rates are usually quite different between humans on the molecular level. With sustained pressure during treatment, vibratory rates of therapist and patient become identical, thereby creating an environment for tissue softening and release. These releases are felt by the therapists, and eventually by the patient as body awareness improves. This resonance between patient and therapist takes time to achieve, and is a crucial factor in creating a body free of restriction and pain.
Links to understanding JFBMFR and fascia.
A series of videos made by Cindy Hodgson where she explains Fascia, Myofascial Release, and the benefits of the John F. Barnes Myofascial Method.
This video shows what the fascial systems looks like in a cadaver. Although this is much different than what it looks like in the living body, patients find it to be an enlightening video to understanding fascia. The "fuzz" is the fascia and although it does not actually "melt away" it does become stuck and dehydrated causing decreased motion.
This video explains how the body is connected from head to toe using a tensegrity structure. It is helpful to understand why we "find the symptom and look elsewhere for the cause." It is helpful in understanding why we need to release the connective tissue system before forcing the skeletal system into alignment.
These videos beautifully show the living fascia and how it is an ever changing and flowing structure within our body.
In the practice of Myofascial Release, we focus on finding fascial restrictions in the individual, generating the proper amounts of pressure, and waiting a sufficient amount of time—five minutes or longer—for a number of important physiologic processes to occur. These include piezoelectricity, mechanotransduction, phase transition and ultimately, resonance, which is another word for the release we hope to help our clients achieve.

Women Leaders in Waste: Faith Zydowsky of Sierra Container Group
TAGS: Labor Relations Public Agencies Recycling Business Business Operations
In addition to being vice president of Sierra Container Group, Zydowsky serves as the president of the National Waste & Recycling Association Women's Council.
Mallory Szczepanski | Jan 30, 2020
Raised by entrepreneurs and small business owners, Faith Zydowsky always aspired to blaze her own trail. Throughout college and shortly thereafter, she worked in real estate, which was a convenient way for her to earn an income and have a flexible schedule as she took care of an ailing parent. But after some time working as a RE/MAX agent, she reached a turning point in her career and wanted to make a change, so she accepted a sales role at Waste Pro USA presented by a prospective buyer.
Zydowsky stayed in that role for seven years before moving on to work at Waste Management, Rehrig Pacific Company and Sierra Container Group, where she currently serves as vice president.
"Throughout my career, I've been blessed to have worked with some of our industry's greatest leaders, and I am thankful for a handful of mentors who have taken the time to invest in my growth," says Zydowsky.
"While all of my past roles were in sales and management, they afforded me invaluable experience of learning about other aspects of the business," she adds. "Especially in sales, I think it's important to walk in the shoes of the person providing the service or product you're selling. I have taken and still try to take those opportunities today. I've performed ride-a-longs, answered customer service calls and worked on a MRF [materials recovery facility] sorting line and on a manufacturing line for roll-out carts. Many of my most memorable experiences involve bad weather! I have picked up a recycling route with an impending hurricane and delivered recycling bins in a thunderstorm, but through all of my experiences and understanding other people's challenges, I've learned to relate and appreciate how hard the fine people of our industry work."
Throughout her career, Zydowsky has worked with people from all walks of life and has worn multiple hats. In addition to her role as vice president at Sierra, she now serves as the president of the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) Women's Council.
Zydowsky previously served as the council's fundraising chair and vice president, helping the council raise more than $300,000 and award 48 scholarships since its inception.
"My experience serving as vice president was invaluable as it provided me the opportunity to work with Carmen Smothers of ESG [Environmental Solutions Group], now past president," says Zydowsky. "Carmen is a friend, an industry leader and a role model to me both personally and professionally. I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned from her leadership of patience, perseverance, grace and vision."
Now, as president, Zydowsky plans to continue leading with the council's mission to serve the industry and the council's members by providing education, networking, professional development, volunteer opportunities and academic scholarships. She also aims to leverage the council's talent to increase exposure and awareness via social media; partner with the Environmental Research & Education Foundation to promote the 2019 Internship Toolkit created by the 2019 Women's Council Professional Development Committee; explore the many talents of the council's membership; and increase engagement by suggesting roles members may find enjoyment in and excel at.
"I'm extremely honored to have been elected by my peers as the 2020 Women's Council president," she says. "I take the responsibilities very seriously and hope that my actions may inspire others to take the risk to achieve their goals. No risk, no reward."
As someone who grew up with an exceptionally motivated mother who worked hard to balance work and home, Zydowsky feels very fortunate to have inherited that motivation, inner fire and drive to inspire others.
As a leader at Sierra, she ensures that every team member knows they play a vital role in the company's success and that they are all working toward a common goal of living their best lives and putting their families first.
One of the ways the Sierra team celebrates each years' accomplishments is with an anniversary dinner, where members recant funny stories with customers or challenges they've overcome. The annual get-together has provided Zydowsky with some of her career's most fun and heartfelt memories. This year, Sierra President Mike Schwalbach presented the First Annual Dundie awards followed by the reveal of Vice President Sean Mason's hidden talent of comedic poetry. There is never a dull moment with this crew, according to Zydowsky.
Zydowsky believes what makes this industry so great is the "people, people, people." As she pushes forward with her career and encourages others to pursue a career in waste and recycling, she notes that in addition to great, hardworking people, the industry houses endless opportunities.
"Leadership, sales and marketing, operations, accounting, engineering, technology, environmental, government affairs—you'd be hard-pressed not to find a good fit," she says. "While I wouldn't define the waste and recycling industry as recession proof, I do believe it is more recession resistant than others. I'd recommend taking the leap of faith (no pun intended)! Many industry loyalists will agree that once you fall in love with the incredible people of our industry, you won't want to leave. Many of those who do boomerang back."

Toyota Corolla Exterior Styling Pros and Cons | Page 1 of 2 | Why Not This Car?
This is a very nice car to look at inside and out.
Exterior is styled conservatively and is easy to clean because there are no odd crevices and sharp corners. Minimal use of black plastic is a plus to prevent sun fading.
Toyota is the king of the boring-mobile. Just because a car is an appliance doesn't mean it can't look good. Plenty of other entry level cars manufacturers seem to get this, but not Toyota.
Very sporty looking and nice shade of blue.
It looks really upscale compared to an Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Lancer or a Nissan Sentra. Its chrome accents, 16" alloy wheels, and profile make the Toyota Corolla a small scale Camry.
Spory, Clean yet classy look. Clear lense Euro look.

Work on large-scale drinking water project begins in Hetauda
The federal government has contributed 70 percent of the project cost with the Hetauda Water Supply Management Board and Sub-metropolis covering the remaining cost of the project.

The construction of a large-scale drinking water project has begun in Hetauda with an investment of Rs160 million.
Under the project, works began on Tuesday on four water tanks in various parts of the city and four deep-boring plants in Wards 7, 8 and 10 of Hetauda Sub-Metropolis.
The federal government has contributed 70 percent of the project cost with the Hetauda Water Supply Management Board and Sub-metropolis covering the remaining cost of the project. Nandalal Banjade, chief at the project, said that the construction work of the project would be completed within two years.
According to him, a water tank and a boring plant will be built at TCN, an overground (above the ground) tank in Rudreshwor, Harikunjroad and Bhorle.
Sudarshan Dhakal, executive director of the board, informed that the four water tanks together could hold around 1.95 million litres of water. "Four deep boring plants can produce up to 2.5 million litres of water daily," he said.
Currently, the board has been supplying around 1.36 million litres of water to over 17,000 households each day.
"We have been supplying water for around seven hours a day for every household. We will increase the supply hours once the project is completed," said Dhakal.
The Hetauda Drinking Water Supply Board took over the Hetauda branch of Nepal Water Supply Corporation five years ago.
Hari Bahadur Mahat, mayor of Hetauda Sub-metropolis, said that the metropolis plans to install modern filters to purify groundwater.
"We have plans to set aside a budget to install a filtration mechanism to purify water at the source," said Mahat.
