The TLC Tugger is a tapeless foreskin restoration device invented by Ron Low. The device consists of a silicone 'tugger', retaining cone, and an elastic strap. The silicone tugger is placed against the glans. Skin from the penile shaft or inner skin is then rolled over the tugger. The retaining cone is then used to hold the skin in place. Finally, a strap is attached to the tugger and then tied around the knee in order to induce tension. This tension allows the inner or outer foreskin to grow. A newer version of the TLC Tugger has been created called the TLC Tugger X which includes weights that can be tied to straps to add extra tension allowing for faster growth of the foreskin.
History
In recent history men restored their foreskins by using manual 'tugging', t-tape, and other devices. There were also more advanced devices made of steel. However, none of the devices were tapeless. Ron Low invented the TLC Tugger, his first tapeless foreskin restoration device which he then marketed. Since 2003, about 9,000 TLC Tuggers have been sold.

Paragon is the name of Games Warehouse Limited's interactive SWP machine (Skill With Prizes) found in pubs across Great Britain. Currently in its third incarnation, Paragon offers pubgoers entertainment and the chance to win modest cash prizes (between £1 and £40) for an initial stake of 50p. The payout percentage which the machine operators hope to maintain is typically 30%. Newer Paragon cabinets have a choice of twelve playable games which are selected from a database of around 30 games of which the rest are idle but can be activated at the discretion of the landlord and/or engineer or remotely. Thus, unlike the market leader itbox, each Paragon machine may have an entirely different selection of games available.
Most games are based on the question-and-answer format although recently the terminal has embraced other forms of SWP including Hangman style games, visual puzzles and word games.
Paragon and other SWP cabinets
Many regular and occasional SWP players consider this terminal to be the least homogenous of the rival cabinets (e.g. itbox, Gamesnet, ind:e, Fatbox). This may be due in part to the essentially simple interface and accessibility of gameplay in typical Paragon games. However, criticism of the Paragon cabinet include the screen's propensity to be askew and the over-simple, even childish nature of some games. While there is considerable crossover of games between rival platforms, each has some exclusive content.

The Fender Custom Shop NoNeck Stratocaster is a '60 Stratocaster with a custom neck shape produced in collaboration with retail store The Music Zoo, starting in 2006. The main feature of the guitar is the large, "baseball bat" neck shape that has been borrowed from another Fender Custom Shop guitar, the '51 Nocaster. It has the neck shape from a Nocaster, hence "NoNeck". They have been produced in NOS and Heavy Relic, Team Built and Masterbuilt, with the majority of NoNecks being Team Built Heavy Relics. Most of these Heavy Relic NoNecks have no arm wear, but do have the finish worn from the back of the neck.
