What is the difference between a hearing instrument specialist and an audiologist?
Adapted from www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiology
Hearing aid dispensers (Hearing Instrument Specialists, Hearing Aid Dealers) are not to be confused with Audiologists.
Hearing aid dispensers are "apprenticeship" trained and must pass a state licensing written and practical examination in fitting hearing aids. The minimum of a high school license is required. Hearing instrument specialists who are Board Certified by the NB-HIS National Board for Certification in Hearing Instrument Sciences must have two years experience and pass a National Competency Examination. However, in the state of New Hampshire, Board Certification is not required to fit hearing aids.
The hearing aid dispensers' primary focus is to sell hearing aids and work on a commission. Prior to 1988, hearing instrument dispensers in the United States fit patients referred to them by Audiologists and physicians who wrote prescriptions for hearing aids.
Audiologists are licensed professionals who hold a master's degree, Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.), or Ph.D. in the hearing sciences. Audiologists have a clinical/educational background that emphasizes diagnostic evaluation of auditory (hearing) and vestibular (balance) systems, amplification technology (especially hearing aids), hearing science, aural rehabilitation and assistive device fitting.
Audiologists may specialize in pediatric diagnostics/amplification, cochlear implants, educational audiology, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, vestibular and balance issues, and/or industrial hearing conservation. Audiologists are often in charge of Newborn Hearing Screening programs designed to identify hearing loss within the first 4 months of life.
Audiologists are trained extensively to evaluate and fit patients for hearing aids as treatment for various types of hearing loss. They also are trained in the evaluation and non-medical treatment of tinnitus (noises in the ears).

1. Threats and fear of abandonment. These can lead to jealousy and feelings of insecurity.
2. Lack of emotional nurturing. This can lead to feelings of emotional deprivation which can feel like a bottomless pit to fill.
3. Growing up with feelings of entitlement. This can lead to feeling as if you don't have to live by the same rules as others as you are special and a bit superior.
4. Being told that you're inferior or inadequate. This causes you feel like you're never good enough.
5. The demand to be perfect and to always get things right. This can leading to being driven and having incredibly high standards.
6. Being betrayed by those you trusted so that you won't trust now, and you can't get close to others or let them get close to you.
7. Being raised in a way that your needs were denied, not allowed, disregarded, trivialised or ignored. This can lead to a doormat type of personality where other people matter and your needs never count.

Lower Hutt shoppers won't be vying for a car park at Queensgate or the CBD this Christmas season, thanks to a free weekend shuttle service.
A bus will ferry shoppers between the Waterloo Station park and ride and the stop outside the courthouse on Laings Rd.
It will run in both directions, leaving every 15 minutes from 9am to 6pm on Saturdays and from 10am to 5.30pm on Sundays.
Greater Wellington Regional Council has set up the service.
Chief executive Greg Campbell said the Council hoped the shuttle would take the hassle out of Christmas shopping.
"With limited parking in the CBD and competition for spots, it's going to be so much easier to park at the station, jump on to a free bus and arrive unruffled at the centre of the shopping action."

Buick Riviera Concept
Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai
Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here – the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 – is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first – and only – press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some John Neff

Spring has finally sprung and warmer weather is on its way.
After what feels like a very long winter, it is so wonderful to see pops of vibrant colour springing up everywhere – bright purple and orange tulips, delicate pink blossoms and lusciously green grass.
My love of colour has been the inspiration behind my new spring Jewel Garden Collection which I am incredibly excited to launch this month.
Colours to delight the senses
Rare and gorgeous green turquoise from both the Carico Lake and Grasshopper Turquoise mines in Nevada are at the heart of my new collection. Rich in colour, beautifully striking and each stone completely unique.
The green turquoise really zings when it is complemented by vibrant orange spiny oyster shell, deep purple sugilite and of course, blue turquoise – the perfect way to brighten up your outfit.
My Jewel Garden Collection includes several stunning statement pieces plus a range of gorgeous stacking rings, pendants, stud earrings and more.
Here's a sneak peek of some of my favourite pieces:
Gorgeous greens sprinkled with bold oranges, rich purples and beautiful blue turquoise – my Jewel Garden Collection is a true celebration of colour and the joy that it brings.

FSN NW Airs Both Civil Wars This Week
Feb. 25, 2009
Corvallis, Ore. - It's Civil War week and FSN Northwest, the official television partner of Oregon State University Athletics, has you covered for both the men's and women's basketball games.
The weekend begins at 7 p.m. Saturday when the Ducks travel to Corvallis in a game that features announcers Brad Adam and three-time WNBA MVP Sheryl Swoopes. The Beavers will be trying to sweep rival Oregon for the first time since 1993, already capturing a 61-42 decision last month in Eugene. This week's game has big implications for seeding for the upcoming Pac-10 Conference Tournament.
Sunday the men's Civil War plays out in front of a national audience on FSN at 7 p.m. from McArthur Court in Eugene. The Beavers look to even their record in conference play, currently at 7-8, and continue the drive for a postseason berth. The men are also looking to sweep the Ducks for the first time since 1993 after defeating Oregon at legendary Gill Coliseum last month 57-54. Ted Robinson and former UCLA standout Marques Johnson will be courtside calling the action.
Both games are part of the Northwest Dodge Dealers Civil War Series, which is currently led by UO 6.5-4.5.
Beavers All Access this week debuts Wednesday at 2 p.m. The 30-minute show features interviews, recaps of last week's action and previews the week ahead.

Male sensitivity
Britain closed shop to party this week, so I found myself with a week's holiday on my hands. Ok, really this happened because I have been working so hard I haven't been taking my holidays, and if I don't take them soon they will be lost. I hate losing so I booked time off and mentally prepared myself to go sit in the sun with a book for the week. I bought suntan lotion and an extra book. Weeded the garden a few weeks ago, so I'm all set. And then it rains. A lot.
As the forecast was for rain all week, "occasionally hard and persistent", as one radio professional puzzlingly put it, I had a choice to make: mope around the house all week and end up arguing with husband, who is setting up a new online business from the study; cancel my leave and go back to work; or finally paint the house. You'd have to be hare brained not to understand option 1 was not a smart choice, so I won't elaborate further. Option 2 was frankly no-go as well: I am p*d off with my employers right now; I would do myself a disservice not to distract myself for a while. I have to dip into my inner energy pool to manage going back smiling. So, painting it is!
We have lived in this house for 5 years and never touched the walls, which were covered by some dusty coat that is supposedly meant to let the walls "breathe" – apparently a new house breathes. I'd have to modify that statement: the children did touch the walls, leaving their grimy paw prints. I'd rub off the dusty paint trying to wipe them off, so we'd ended up with patches of near-bare plaster board, still grimy. I told myself for a long time we should just wait for the children to grow up. They are 15 and 13 now. But really I was daunted by the idea of painting the house myself: surely I am no good, we want the house to look nice so let's get the professionals in. Cue the British holidays. I tried to get professional painters interested in the job, but didn't get any takers. By Monday morning there was no more escape: I had to spend the week painting. I knew I shouldn't push husband to help much: DIY is not his thing, he gets very frustrated. We'd only find ourselves in option 1. But crucially I also knew I must leave the story intact that he has every intention of sharing the paint work with me.
And so it happens that I spend the best part of every day up and down the steps, contorting myself to reach awkward corners with a precision brush without knocking over the TV. Husband has a breakthrough with his business preparations so he can't join me as much as he would have liked. By the end of the week and of a particularly long day, my back broken and my hand in a permanent precision grip (I swear I was made for a desk job – hat off to painters), husband bursts in: "Oooh, my ear really hurts: I must have been on the phone for hours on end!" The only thing that saved him from a very bad fate indeed was the look of realisation that dawned on him once he'd seen my face. And the stumbling attempt at apology that followed. Which I gave him all the time in the world to get through.
Back to a long time ago
I had been debating with myself whether to revisit my childhood town and the home where I grew up over the last couple of weeks. I left for Belgium still very much undecided. A few days into the trip the perfect day presented itself when every other family member had something planned, leaving husband and me to make our own plans. My hand was forced, I had to indulge husband and plug his gap in the history of me. I kept telling him I had not been hiding anything, that there just was not very much to it. I had wanted to add "my life only started with you darling" but he would have heard the grin. Truth be told, I was dreading the visit (I almost wrote "confrontation") all the way there. Didn't know where to park when we got there. Twenty years is an awfully long time for a city. It had changed so much I was surprised to find several shops I remembered from my childhood still exist. Mostly though I was left trying to work out what was there before. I would look at a building and instantly think "ha, there's a design shop here now", for example, but not be able to recall what was there before. I just know it wasn't that.
Husband was duly impressed with the city hall – really I should stop calling it a town 🙂 -, which is the little sibling of those in Brussels and Leuven, and the two beautiful churches. I showed him the school I went to, which has now entered the modern era and merged with the boys' school next door and removed the fences that were designed to keep us girls safe from them, at least while the nuns were responsible for us. Whilst I do agree with all that I can't help thinking that kids now miss out on the thrill of looking forward to meeting up with their boy / girlfriend in the little alleyway across from the school gate. Preferably while nun on duty was looking.
With all the change I felt detached from my memories. It didn't quite feel like the place I grew up anymore, even if I rationally know it is.
So far so easy. The tourist treatment. Now I had to drive to the village and the home where I grew up. Still hating the thought of it as I was edging closer, fearing that regret for what was loved and lost would take over. And then there it was: the castle and the pond where we went skating; then the garden appeared in view, and finally, a glimpse of the house itself. I stopped the car in front of the drive and peered in. You couldn't see much, just as I remembered it. The house is nestled behind tall hedges, trees and bushes, which all still looked familiar. Waves of emotions crashed over me, all different hues. I drove around the back, where I could only glimpse into the garden but not make out the house. I sat there for a while until the seas inside me calmed down. Then I told my husband I was glad we had visited. The dread I had felt before, linked to the bad memories of the final year or so of us living there, was being pushed down below overlays of the many more memories of all the wonderful years there. Growing up there was a privilege: we enjoyed a space and freedom my children couldn't dream of. We waged wars with the other children throughout the village, built camps and rope bridges in the garden, built dams in the brook down the road. I wished I had brought my walking boots so I could trace back some of my favourite walks. It is beautiful out there. Too muddy without boots right now, but it gives me a reason to go back. I might even take the children to see where their roots lie. Because now I feel freed to do so and enjoy it.
Somewhat paradoxically, my restored connection with my childhood home has made me even more comfortable being at home where I am now. I feel as if I have been given a bright new room to keep my childhood memories in, one I can visit and feel good about, but only a room in my existence alongside so many others.
I didn't have the presence of mind to take pictures but I found one of the castle pond, where we used to skate:
It's a man's job
Three birds pooped on my mini while I was in Ikea today. Gross. That has to be washed off pronto, I don't want the paint damaged. But I get home and resolve to ask my husband how to clean it when he gets home several hours later. He actually enjoys washing cars, and he is very particular about the tools he uses. He has special shampoos and spot removers and cloths and sponges of different softness. I wouldn't know which to pick! He might even be angry with me for using the wrong one! And so it goes that he offers to do it for me. Thank you darling! I revel in my sly little victory. Then I ask myself: How did I get like this? I have always prided myself on my independence: I can connect a washing machine, trim the hedge when necessary and lots more that would probably not feature in womens magazines. It was my dad's most valuable lesson: being a girl does not absolve you from being able to fix stuff.
I know deep down that I have chalked washing cars up on the man side of the divide. Just like fixing the kitchen cupboard door, which I reminded husband yesterday again is really irritating me. I could just get on with it, but for some reason I have not fully explored I don't. I told him it was a man's job. "Oooh, I can't wait to point out the next chore that is a woman's job!!" he roared. "Don't you dare!!"
I respond with unconditional rage to the phrase "That is a woman's job". How can I allow myself to utter its twin?
How frustrating! I've been working from home today and experienced the exact opposite of the slice of life described on the Dark Globe recently. Patrick Dykie wrote about the incessant flow of knocks on the door at inopportune moments. Whereas I was left waiting all day for a delivery that did not arrive. Then again, my work flow was churned three times by a cold call, putting me in Dykie's camp again. Do you have any idea how many cold calls you miss when you are at work all day? They don't even bother with real people anymore. They're all prerecorded messages. Which is a shame because I quite enjoy to let cold callers do their spiel while I move on to something else, leaving the phone just close enough to hear their feigned enthusiasm turn into indignation when it dawns on them their audience has disappeared.
The soft side in me feels for the cold callers actually, it has got to be one of the lousiest jobs out there. I've done some awful jobs myself to survive, but I reckon none of them were as bad as that. I have blanked out the train station hot dog shack job because my mind cannot cope with the memory. Moving on, the bottom two jobs were sorting apples according to size in a cold store on an apple farm, and serving in a posh restaurant. You would think the apple sorting was the worst because of the sheer numbness of the task and discomfort of working in the cold, but for me the restaurant waitressing was infinitely worse. Many customers treated me like the gum splat on the sole of their shoe and the owner/chef was a more demeaning boss than Sir Alan could ever hope to be. In the apple job we would occasionally joke together, but most of the time your mind was left to wander while you acted on auto pilot. You could map out a whole novel in your head while you were earning your crust. I now understand how some people choose a routine job and are happy with it. They can leave at the set time stress-free and move on to something that really interests them. Writing, perhaps. Is there a career change in here, I wonder? Tough one. When would I have my stuff delivered then?

Join us as we traverse through the top moments of last year and feel free to weigh in on how you think they stack up to your own top 10 list.
Top Moment #9: Men's Soccer Earns NCAA Tournament Win in Second Consecutive Year
Moving along in our countdown, Capital Men's Soccer turned in one of the most impressive campaigns of any of our teams, punctuated by a second-straight NCAA Tournament appearance and the second postseason win in program history. On Nov. 10, the Crusaders dismantled first-round opponent Westminster College (Pa.) 4-1 in a performance that mirrored Capital's season-long dominance.
Thirteen minutes into the contest, the Crusaders drew first blood with a superb free kick by Greg Knox from more than 50 yards out. Knox, who is known more for his assists, lofted the ball into the penalty area and into the goal just out of the reach of Westminster's keeper's outstretched arm for his first career score. The Titans equalized later in the first half but three second-half goals for the Crusaders sealed the win.
The first goal of the second period was a penalty kick smashed home by Daniel Bundschuh to restore Capital's lead and the second was a follow-up score by Nick Scharfenberger after a failed clearance by Westminster's defenders. A header by Sam Spirk sailed over the keeper's head and iced the win for Capital.
The game was Capital's eighth of the season with at least four goals scored and the win was the team's 15th of 2018, the most for the program since 2009. The four goals also added to a record-setting team total of 63, the most in a single season in program history, breaking the previous record of 61 set in 1985.
Honorable Mention: Greg Knox Sets Program Assist Record in Title-Clinching Win over Otterbein
Before the Crusaders received their slot in the national tournament, they first clinched a share of the OAC regular season title with a 5-0 trouncing of rival Otterbein University on Oct. 27. The huge win was Capital's first OAC title since 2008 and the fifth in program history. The game was historic for another reason as well as Knox broke the program record for most career assists as a junior. In the 14th minute of play, Knox uncorked one of his famous throw-ins and fellow defender Cole Moscovic blasted the ball into the back of the net to open the scoring. The assist was the 30th of Knox's career, breaking a tie with John Ploeger and breaking a record that had stood since 1979. The Oxford, Mich., native finished his junior campaign with 16 assists, the most in a single season in program history after he tied the previous program record of 11 last year.

The Pyrelord is a Summoning familiar, introduced with the "Summoning 2" update on 31 March, 2008. It requires level 46 Summoning and a Pyrelord pouch. Interestingly, the Pyrelord supports Zamorak according to Funorb, and is one of his most honoured supporters.
The player can use it to burn any kind of log, like a tinderbox, by using the logs on the pyrelord. When any type of logs are used on it, it will give 10 Firemaking experience more than usual for each log. For example, using a tinderbox with a willow log, one would normally gain 90 experience, but if the willow logs are used with the Pyrelord, one would gain 100 experience instead.
Wearing a Ring of fire and/or Flame gloves (rewards from the All Fired Up minigame) gives an additional 2% (for either one) or 5% (for both) experience boost. The experience modifier from the familiar is calculated before the bonus from the gloves and ring. Hence, using the example of willow logs, one would receive an extra 2 experience (for a total of 102 experience) wearing one modifier, or 5 (for a total of 105 experience) for wearing both modifiers.
Many people refrain from using a Pyrelord for firemaking, claiming that it is slower than using a tinderbox normally. Others say that the extra experience gained (especially if combined with the ring of fire and flame gloves), and the ability to burn one extra log per inventory outweigh the slightly slower burn speed. In either case, using a pyrelord means the mouse has to be moved a significantly larger distance, especially on fullscreen, which is much slower and negates the additional experience.
In combat, Pyrelords contribute to the player's Strength skill.

|I can summon a pyrelord familiar with this.

|A scroll for a pyrelord familiar.
Immense Heat scroll enables the use of the Immense Heat special move for a Pyrelord. Using the pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates 10 scrolls, giving 2.3 experience. Using the scroll costs 6 special move points and grants 2.3 experience.
Immense Heat is a special move for Pyrelords. Players can smelt a gold bar (and a gem if one wishes) into an item of Jewellery without using a furnace, provided they have the required crafting level.

A trial lawyer fighting for freedom one client at a time
"The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."
Oh, that it were true, that there were a shepherd to stand beside me in the well of this court, when I want so much, so often, and with such desperation. I have become the good shepherd to the man beside me. He has placed his entire trust in me, and I, I am left alone with nothing but my wits as the maelstrom descends.
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters."
What green pasture? What still water? This courtroom is as still as death, and when it is not still, the waters roil, yielding boiling trouble. There sits the cauldron, there the prosecutor, there the judge. Can I keep you, my client, from harm's way?
I will be still; I will be calm; I will rise up from these waters and protect you.
"He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."
Righteousness? Save me from that, please. The righteous are like stiff reeds that refuse to bend in humanity's breeze, in the torrent that springs from the unrestorable soul. I will never see you, my friend, simply as the sum of your worst moments. You will be more to me than the state's caricature of you, bounded, as it must be, in the iron logic of the law, by claims of materiality and relevance.
I will lead you and seek to protect you from the righteous; I will stand between your soul and those who refuse to see it.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and they staff they comfort me."
We are both chilled by this valley's shadow – you by the fear of the unknown; I, because I know that coldness of handcuffs applied after a judgment is imposed. I will be by your side every step of the way, never leaving you, never forsaking you, like a loyal dog with eyes only for you, and teeth bared at every foe, but I cannot follow you into the darkness beyond the cell door. I fear that most of all, my desertion of you, should I fail. Such comfort as I can offer is simply not to forget you, to fight wherever I can, so that you are not alone when the world scorns you.
"Thou preparest a table for me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over."
When we meet in this sterile place, this courtroom, we will always greet one another as friends, one hand extended to another, a moment stolen from the docket's rush to inquire after one another's soul. Your enemies can wait this one moment, forced, in our simple exchange, to acknowledge your humanity, your dignity, despite all they seek to take from you, all they have already taken from you. The silent cup we share is one from which the self-righteous will never drink; let sterile lips never pollute the nectar we share.
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."
It takes more faith than I possess to tell you goodness and mercy await you. Instead, I see cold indifference, a place where names become numbers, and wards become numb to human need. But you can teach me to dwell in peace amid this Hell. Your quiet dignity reminds me always to seek your face first in a room of strangers, yours is the hand I want to clasp when darkness falls, the cheek I shall kiss to let you know that love will not desert you, despite the prisons, the cells, the shackles, and all the dull hatred the state calls justice.
A new psalm, then:
You have become my shepherd, you see. Your calm and your quiet restores my soul. Your love leads me to lie still when all is blind rage and hurt. I walk with you in the valley of the shadow of death, but fear no evil; I am with you, and your trust comforts me. You prepare a place for me in all that is left of your life, the living heart within you. You embrace me, anointing me with kindness and love. I am not good and I am not merciful, but you love me still; we dwell, one with another, broken vessels, forever. And that is enough for me today, and forevermore.

Made You Look: During The Rise Of Hip Hop's Most Extravagant Era, A New Star Was Born — The Video Vixen | VIXEN.
Every music video needs a leading lady, and these stars didn't come cheap.
Is Kim Kardashian's sex tape the scandal that will never die? It seems to be so, and now we're in for another round of drama associated with the NSFW flick.
According to UK paper The Mirror, someone leaked new, never-before-seen footage from the sex tape, which also stars her then-boyfriend Ray J. It's not clear exactly what the footage contained since the clips appear to have been taken down, but even the suggestion was enough to send Twitter into a tizzy.
Kim's rep has denied there's anything new to see ("It's not new — it's the same old sex tape," she said candidly in a statement to the Daily Mail), but the brouhaha does seem particularly well-timed for the return of Keeping Up With the Kardashians in just a couple of weeks. Is this another baseless rumor about the reality star or is Team Kim milking yet another 15 minutes of fame from the "same old sex tape"?

Surprising architecture
As soon as you arrive in Bordeaux from Paris, by train or via the stone bridge, you can't miss it. You'll see a gigantic monument with an arch hewed at its very centre. This asymmetric arch is the counterpart of the Cité du vin at the other end of the crescent created by the River Garonne as it weaves its way through Bordeaux. As you reach the MÉCA, you'll notice sets of stairways and ramps leading to the main entrance. With its 120 metres length and its 37 metres height, the building stands out impressively. It is fashioned in the warm colour of Bordeaux stone. A work made by the Danish architect Bjaarke Ingels.
On the agenda
The MÉCA, a temple of culture, hosts the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region's cultural agencies devoted to performing arts, books, cinema: the FRAC (Regional Contemporary Arts Foundation), OARA (Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Artistic Bureau) and ALCA (Book, Cinema, Audiovisual Agency).
The FRAC's exhibition spaces are open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday from 1pm to 6:30pm - one Thursday evening per month until 9pm - one Sunday per month from 1pm to 6:30pm.
The Regional Contemporary Arts Foundation hosts the exhibition "Once Upon A Time in the West" until 9 November 2019. It showcases over a hundred artists. Martial Reysse invites us to enter this rich Far West with a gigantic fresco The Carnaval in Périgueux, loaned by the François Pinault Foundation accompanied by Pascal Convert's Falaise de Bâmiyân which echoes it. The curator Anne Dressen (from the City of Paris Museum of Modern Art) concocted "Ici et là-bas" (Here and there) blending design and contemporary art. As for photos, Alice Raymond presents her series "la grande traversée" (the great crossing).
The CREM, a café-restaurant with a one-of-a-kind vista over the river
The building invites the public to stroll around an outdoor urban, promenade, relax on a panoramic terrace and delight in a café-restaurant, open 7/7, at midday and in the evening. Its restaurant offers visitors a friendly, gourmet break and proposes cuisine which favours short, organic circuits. And, why not head up to the rooftop on the 5th floor for an awe-inspiring vista on a par with the world's most exquisite urban belvederes.

Get on board with the HERS train, you will be glad you did.
It's 2014 and one thing seems to be sure, the HERS index may be around for some time to come. MLS listings are starting to include this rating index as part of the data they report for homes, so it seems prudent that we all try to understand what the HERS index is all about. This article does a great job explaining it: The HERS Index is THE Home Energy Efficiency Gauge.

CPA Winter 2002 Contents 5 Intangible Assets and Goodwill in a Business Combination 10 Expert Opinion: Unreasonable Compensation in a Professional Corporation Responsibilities for Litigation Services An exposure draft of a Proposed Statement on Responsibilities for Litigation Services No. 1 has been issued by the Statement on Responsibilities Task Force of the Litigation and Dispute Resolution Subcommittee. The proposed SOR would define the scope of litigation services and provide a comparative analysis of standards and responsibilities. The task force drafted the proposed SOR to provide additional guidance to practitioners on existing professional standards affecting litigation services engagements. The proposed SOR addresses the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, the AICPA Statement on Standards for Consulting Services, and the federal Rules of Evidence and includes appendices covering the application of professional standards and conflicts of interest. Comments on the exposure draft are due January 31, 2002. To obtain a copy, visit: www.aicpo.org/members/div/pfp/litsvcs.htm. AICPA EXPERT AICPA Newsletter for Providers of Business Valuation & Litigation Services ASSESSING UNSYSTEMATIC RISK: PART IV—INDUSTRY ANALYSIS Warren D. Miller, MBA, CPA/ABV, CMA Previous articles in this series provided an overview of unsystematic risk and a detailed discussion of macroenvironmental analysis. This installment continues the discussion of the next level of risk: the industry. The preceding article in this series dealt with certain aspects of market structure as it relates to industry analysis. This piece completes the subject that, in our reports and memoranda, we call Industry Dynamics. That term better conveys the truth that, in free markets, industries and organizations are in a constant and dynamic state of change. To summarize where we've been: Risk assessment is key in valuing any company. The smaller the company, the more important risk assessment is. Despite the seeming simplicity of small-company appraisals, most are complex assignments because risk is usually oozing from most pores of the company's internal and external environments. The unsystematic risk framework posited in this series comes from three levels: macroenvironment, industry, and company. All too often, the greatest source of risk to a company is itself. Because there are few data related to unsystematic risk, most CPAs are uneasy in assessing and quantifying it. This series aims to give them a framework for such risk assessment and the tools with which to use the framework. At the risk of repeating myself, let me add that an important benefit of doing this type of analysis is the depth by which it enhances the appraiser's understanding of how the business works. We continue to be amazed at the reports we read that reflect beyond any doubt the appraiser's failure to understand the business: How it competes (vs. how it should compete), what its value drivers are, how it creates wealth, the sustainability of its wealth-creating mechanism, and so on. These are not "no-brainer" issues that can be run through a spreadsheet. They're complex, and they require analysis. Invariably, most of the analysis is qualitative. Not surprisingly, industry analysis is also qualitative.1 There are hard data-market share, demand cycles, and the like. But so much of the data depend on how the industry is defined. For most of us valuing smaller companies, the industry is defined in terms of strategic groups, in a local or regional context. Quite often, the structures of those industries are very different from their national counterparts. That is why industry data gathered nationwide by Ibbotson and by the Bureau of the Census can (or should) seldom be used in valuations. The usual case is 1 For the purposes of this article, the terms industry and strategic group are used interchangeably. That is because the techniques of industry analysis apply perfectly to the analysis of a strategic group.

Hi! My name is Isabelle & I came across your website trying to see if Skewjack Surfing Village was still around (- I've been looking for a weekend getaway base for a bunch of us who need a break.)
Best wishes

|Really enjoyed reading the website and thought you might
like a pic of these very fetching high fashion Skewjack tees which we rediscovered
in the loft last month ... Can' t remember which trip I got 'em as there
were several !!
First went to Skewjack however in Summer 1976 with my mate Geoff Round for a 2 week stay in late August travelling down from Yorkshire in beat-up Ford Capri. After watching a surf film- ( "Playgrounds in Paradise " maybe?)- and getiing the usual morning dry- land " briefing session" in the Sunset Bar on the first morning we tear-arsed in Amy along the narrow lanes& down to the beach for our first taste of surfing at Sennen . Choice of weapons included a selection of single fin popouts, a couple of mals ( which the guards coveted ) and a very trendy yellow Morey Doyle ( which everone tried to grab) . With these we set out to tackle 3' onshore dumping storm surf and as it was absolutelyy pissing down we were generously kitted out in sleeveless 3mm short johns - ( purple & black I seem to remember and not exactly a snug fit -either for me ) whilst very sensibly the lifeguards fully dressed in overcoats, mufflers etc stayed on the beach and bawled key advice at us through a megaphone like "Hurry up & get outside " and " Come on you nancies get stood up !" A piece of very sound advice from that session given to us by one of the Aussie life guards still rings in my ears to this very day was : " Remember , if ya see ya mate standing up before you do, go over to him &.... knock his bloody legs away!"
Although I had started surfing in Devon a few summer earlier I'd had no lessons so this first trip to Skewjack did the trick & I ain't stopped surfing since.. After plenty more daily sessions (and earbashings) that Summer eventually we were able to stand up most times, catch and angle on what felt like reasonable sized waves ....that is until the legs went entirely numb from the knees down to match the wetsuit - This in itself actually was an advantage as I couldn't feel a thing when stumbling over the rocks below the car park wall after once again ignoring advice to avoid them & thus any dings... to the board!
The second week the sun shone and we had an excellent time in cleaner waves and much better weather which helped improvements all round , although the ever popular " rail sandwich" tasted much the same ...! A non surfing highlight was The Treasure Hunt in particular a "refuelling" at The Gurnards Head ( sod the the driving around .. ) and somehow we won first prize .. Yup .. another week at Skewjack !!. Memorable nights stand out from the sessions not only in the Sunset Bar but also in The First & Last and of course , The Old Success and the bar skittles competitions. I seem to remember getting entirely mullered also in a restaurant in Newlyn on mead one night - 100% socially dangerous stuff on the wrong ( i.e mine ) hands.- which followed by the only morning I missed out on the full Bistro breakfast !!
Learnt how to ding repairs during one of my stays from a South African guy who was at the College of Mining and was doing repairs in an old out house at the top of the site next some new(er) chalets which we stayed in a couple times ..somebody said it was a converted cow shed !!
Later after marrying my now very long- suffering surf-widowJulie and moving to Kent , we had a couple more holidays at Skewjack in '79 or '80 - or '81 I think . but by then I got my shit together -own board , wettie etc so we were off exploring to other spots etc and the camp was going thru' changes described elsewhere by others .. Stayed in Sennen village and area a lot in the '80's both Summer & Winter hols and had more than few great nights in The Old Success once again .
I ve seen Pete a few times over the years since then on BSA course and what not although I don' t get down to S. West now much as we have been up on the Yorkshire coast since '88 ,got 2 kids John ( 20 ) and Alice( 17) who is also a keen surfer too ..Had a surf shop in Scarboro' for few years too ....Still surfing plenty as work has taken a back seat & more importantly there are plenty of breaks up here to go at around Scarboro ', Whitby etc( all pretty busy now ),many quiet ones too if u search 'em out plus many more up the Borders-which is only 2/3 hours(see t'oher pic- tha'st me on the right, on my birthday- Northumberland March '07 ) -and on up into Scotland, although each Winter - come February. I say it's" the last b. one " but I get new steamer or board and jus' keep on going! Aye up & cheers for now-

Met some friends who had come down to cornwall from Shrewsbury last week, and my friends brother started talking about wether we knew of Skewjack. Me & my husband are locals and remember it well, we even named a star "Skewjack" as it meant so much to us??!!
Remember rolling the car more than once in the lanes after a 'quiet' evening in the bar!
Just another one of those places we have to tell our grandchildren about, add to the Zero & Saddletramps!

|Hi there,
Great web site – just looking at the old photos made me smile with all the boys with their long curls, bet they wish they still had even half ;-)
Thanks a million

|Skewjack was my nirvana!
After getting a "Greetings from the President of the US" letter and being inducted into the Army in 1972, I knew my surfing passion was going to be running dry while I spent the next two years protecting the Russian border, and nuclear missiles in Germany. My days of surfing big waves in the East Coast hurricane season dryed up!
Then I saw your ad in Surf magazine, and I was on a new mission! (I still have that ad!)
Within 6 months I boarded a military plane for London, hitched a ride to Cornwall, and a great Brit bought me a pint and a fish /chips dinner and then drove me right to your door step! He said a yank saved his life during WWII, and he never had a chance to say thanks. A real gentleman and fellow soldier.
My 8 days camping at the Village were extraordinary: a spiritual reprieve from the military, daily surfing on some small swells, getting lost in the fog on the beach, watching the "Endless Summer" premier with a few pints of scrumpy and with some friendly fellow campers.
Thanks for the memories and the great times. You saved my soul.
From the other side of the "pond",

I visited Skewjack several times between 1975 – 1982. I actually learned to surf, thanks to Harvey's patience!.I have memories of visiting the Wreckers up top Sennen and The Old Success under Sennen. You could only go in the public bar of the Success if you had a wetsuit on and they wouldn't serve you easily if you weren't a local! Luckily my little sister could pull off a mean Cornish accent when needed.In the latter years I came with my little son, Ben, when he was 3 and 4 years old. We were given a luxury chalet just across from the Sunset Bar so I could keep popping back to check on him at night. On one occasion an outing to Penzance was cancelled and a disco hastily arranged in the bar so I could join in. Essex & Cass were around during the day for Ben to play with and the girls were very kind keeping an eye on Ben while I surfed.
There were a couple of guys that lived in a pig sty (literally!) up near Gwenver who picked spuds as rent for the sty and surfed as they pleased!
Skewjack was the first place I ever saw a skateboard. I think it belonged to Harvey and was used as an aid to learn balance.
Anyway, it was a great place.

An original resident and probably stayed for free!!
Takes me back. I was stationed at RAF Sennen, National service 1954- 56.
Loved it, brilliant place, never off the beach
at sennen cove. If you are doing a history of the place, I could search
through my boxes and find a few interesting photo's of some of the guys
that were there, long before you guys. Let me know.

To you all "teach your children well"
I didn't say that.
|Barbara Freshwater
Hi Everyone,
I am still in touch with quite a few people – Jan Harris is married
with 2 kids & living in Suffolk, Mike Cattran is in Luxembourg, the
other Barbara (Daw) is in Brussels and their daughter Becky is at Uni
in Leeds, Chris & Lelly who were serial punters (in the big white
custom van) and actually lived very close to me in North London, are
still great friends.
Other people I remember… Graham & Sylvie (of course) the various lifeguard- Curly, James, Adrian (Spez), Colin, Aussie Dave, Ted, Paul, Kevin the Aussie lifeguard, Jeff Devane & Kath (or Kaff!) Jeremy, Martin (Dr Fun),Valerie, Fran- we shared a cottage in the winter of 1977, Terry & Jimmy, Jan Strick (fact!), Hilary & Ray (Ron Bishop's sister & brother-in-law, Cliff Hugo, Suzanne & Tony, Helen, Emma, Valerie, Joe Crow, Steve Palmer, Jill, Stuart & Doug who were later versions of Dr Fun, & Ralph the barman who was sacked for nicking stock.(Allegedly!)
Oh happy days!
|Tim Perks
I went there with my mates in approx 1972 or
1973?. It was my first holiday away from my parents. I don't have any
photos just my memory. I was with approx 6 mates, only one I have contact
with now. We had cabin opposite the entrance.
A lot has happened to me since then. I am now a boring 53 year old. Those times were great although I cant remember alot as we were normally a bit ..er...tipsy.
As I said before, I have lost contact with all my mates from then except one, and with him I lost contact for 20 years and only recently found him through friends reunited.
Well those are my memories from when I was young and just wanted a good laugh. Now I am a middle aged grumpy old bugger always thinking about the good old times. I shouldn't say those things really, as I just got married again and wife is pregnant. In fact I still act like a kid and she tells me to 'grow up'.
Well that is all I have to say, sorry if it's a bit boring, although the time at Skewjack was definitely NOT boring.
Best Regards Tim Perks
|Adrian Dix
|Hi Graham
I've put some snaps on the attachment for 1978/9 i'm not sure which is was
The guy playing the guitar is Norman Woods who made guitars at his home
which was on the right hand side of the main road as you go from Sennen to
Lands End
The others are some girls we met who were from London and one is of the
fancy dress night
It was funny reading the web site as we were never sure as to what Cliff did
I'll send some more when i get time
Look at the high-tech TV !!!
|Elaine Roe
|Wow, really amazing. I was just thinking about Cornwall and I just
thought there might be someone out there who remembered Skewjack. I
spent my first ever holiday away from home in at Skewjack in1975. Just
two weeks and I will never forget, discos every night, joss sticks and
people my own age. Thanks for keeping the memory alive. Been
back since but couldn't get near the place. shame about the crap
they've put up in its place. Nice gentle place that it was. still
there we are.
I'll visit regularly. I'll see if I have any photos, but I don't think I have.
And I use to live near Brighton.

|Brian Shaw
|I was one of those London Boys. I'm 52 now and living
in Palm Beach Florida, after a varied career diving and other stuff,
that had me take a rest for 15 years in Key West.
Skewjack was Key West in Cornwall! I remember a night in St. Just when the power went out in a pub/bar with a big opening sliding door. I drove my 1967 Chevy Camaro into the bar and we listened to The Average White Band and Doobie Brothers all night on an 8-track. Welsh girls too. So much fun!
I remember that dirty old swimming pool, an ambulance, Gwenver Sands (sp?) and a guy named Harvey that had a VW that got from Penzance to Skewjack faster than anything. I went back in summer 1985 on a motorcycle and the place was empty and falling down. One guy there remembered me from 18 years prior, but it was sad to see those colours all faded and the sense all was coming to an end. We had both changed.
Thanks for the memories!
Kindest Regards,
Brian Shaw.

|Dave Hunter
I worked for Chris Tyler at Skewjack in 1972, it was just before
university and I clearly remember Duncan, Terri and Chris South who
was about to join. Many amazing memories of driving the ambulance and
double de-clutching on Sennen hill and buying cases of eggs that were
out of date and floating them in bowls of water before serving them
to check if they were off! I haven't seen Chris Tyler for about 10
years, last time was surfing at Praa with Colin (wog) Wilson and the
last time I heard of him again, he was running the Arts Club in
Penzance. I presume his father has long since died? We made boards
(Chris shaped/glassed, I sanded and did fins) in the rear garage, for
the old Westcountry TV station and the decals were delayed so we made
them out of green serviettes! During my summer at Skewjack, I lived
with Chris and Vanessa in their cottage at the back of the site,
their son - can't quite remember his name - was a small baby. I also
have fond memories of an artist - Chris Eaves (or Eades?), a surfer
who lived in St Just and was a regular in the bar
I live in St Columb Minor, just outside of Newquay ( since 1978). I
work in theatre in Cornwall and often find myself at The Acorn
Theatre in Penzance or at The Ordinalia Festival in St just and I
often think of the old place, so it was a delight to come across your
site! Please sign me up for the staff list!
I've attached a photo of me kneeboarding (last Mar at Watergate) - it
was Duncan who lent me an old kneeboard and got me into it back in '72.
|Dave Hunter: Part Two!
|Sorry, couldn't resist telling you more!
I just looked at the original brochure and I remembered - that's me
in the white T shirt with long flowing locks in the bottom right hand
corner and above it, in the bar, in a red T shirt! Wow, have you got
a copy you could let me have?
|Dave Hunter: Part Three
|This is pathetic - I feel like a kid again! I've just
taken a closer look at the brochure. The cover shot is "Foxy" Thomas,
a visiting aussie from Perth, who came to live me in the summer of 1977
in Newquay, he's the guy in orange holding his board outside the reception
area, that's Chris in the foreground holding a Martin Geary spacestick,
shaped in Newquay (Martin Geary's, still about - I see him often), the
guy to the left of Foxy was a local from Penzance who's name I can't
remember but his board is a brand new, that day, early freedom twin fin
imported from the Channel isles! The photo underneath is off Chris' wife,
Vanessa, and underneath that the guy in the stars and stripes vest is
Chris tyler.
Bottom left of the centre pages is a good close up of Foxy Thomas, can't remember who the girl is? The girl sat with me at the table is Jill Allcock, a PE student on holiday from Manchester - I had a great time with her!! Foxy is also featured on the opposite centre page in the cottage photo. Surf's Up page - the cut out girl was from a photo shoot to publicise Skewjack that we did at Gwenver, Duncan and I actually sat under water holding her and the board steady - the shot was for the Daily Express. The top left photo is Chris Tyler and back to camera with the red single fin is Duncan, the board that Chris is holding - yellow/white single fin - we made at Skewjack during that summer and, yes, that Skewjack decal on its deck was cut out of green serviettes just like the Westcountry TV decals! That's Chris holding the bull horn in the bottom left photo. The opposite cut out shot of the girl is from the Daily Express shoot.
Wow! what more can I say, isn't the web amazing? You've made a 52 year old surfer feel 18 all over again!
Best wishes

|Jeremy Braithwaite
Saw the site and it brought back heaps of memories.
I worked for Ron Bishop at Scotia in the late 60's and helped him and Chris
pull Skewjack together. I've still got some photos of the very early days
plus - if I can find it - an even older brochure. Will have a look for you.
Are Chris & Ron still around? Assume that Essex is his son ... Chris came
from Essex originally.
I migrated to Sydney in 1971 and met up with Chris and Strawberry in the
late 1970's and haven't been in touch since. Exchanged a couple of mails
with Chris South and he said Piggy - who used to make our wetsuits - was
the town cryer in Penzance.

April 2nd: Apologies for delay in posting this..
My youngest daughter saying she's going to a surf hostel in Newquay just encouraged me to put in the name Skewjack to see if there's life after years of enjoyable self abuse. I had a yellow MG Roadster in '73 or '74 that with the roof down brought a dozen passengers back from local pubs after drinking games with vegetable picking students in the area. How the exhaust didn't fall off during the trips I'll never know. I remember the greasy pole and pillow fights across the pool, building castles out of Colt 45 cans, two identical twin 21 year old lads in a red Capri that thought they had pulling power until the rowdies from some heavy rock group emerged from a luxury chalet – it had doors.. and to two very amicable Irish girls that were about to become nuns but in desperate need to get certain things out of their system, thank you.. and perhaps a mornings surf instruction that interfered with a brilliant holiday for my 18th year and a friend from school.. and then to some dozen lads from ?Hemel Hempstead? Who thankfully were not as good as me at poker that assisted my funds for the alcohol.. Just an amazing experience – many thanks to you all.

Hi, I have about 20 of the original brochures, if anyone would like
one, Stick my email details on the site, and they can have one free.
|Colin Arksey
|Hi Gram
I just thought I would drop you a short note, having just discovered the Skewjack web site, great to see. Many happy memories of the place and winning the fancy dress competition several times in a row in the late 70's, very early 80's, such as the Scarecrow(first one) the Durex Machine, K9 with Laila and the Cigarette machine to name some of them.One of the team ( I still see several of them, even though we have all nearly reached fifty and the joys of Saga) has got some photos which when christmas is sorted and out of the way, he will be willing to send so they can be posted on the web site, but if you have any or know of any others, it would be great to see them.
Regards and Happy Christmas and New Year

|Simon 'Stretch' Carr
Graham, what a fantastic website, not quite sure how I found it.
Don't know if you remember me too well, my name is Simon Carr and I worked with you at Sennen in 1982 along with Rob, Spez and Ted. What a summer that was, I rocked up as a 17yr old rookie guard, didn't know much, didn't drink much and had a steady girlfriend. Within a few weeks of the summer I had blown out the missus and was partying hard every night at Skewjack. 10 pints of guiness or holsten everynight at' first and last' and then onto 'skewers'. Highlights for me were the bicycle pub crawls to skewjacks, the massive nights we had there and the great big brekkies we had in the morning. What a great bunch of blokes they all were and what great memories.
I now live on the far south coast of N.S.W in Australia and still surf,
fish and have a great life. Hope you are well and if you happen to know
where Rob lives, or have his e-mail, then let me know as I think he is
in aussie too.
|Barry 'Slack' White
Just a quickie to say hello and how are you. Hope you remember me.....Barry White,
I was lifeguard at Skewjack during the summer of 1980 and spent a few years down that way before moving to the San Diego area and then Sydney. I returned home to live in England 6 years ago and now live on the South coast in Bognor Regis ( stop laughing ). I have an 8 year old daughter (Erika) that lives with me who was born in Mona Vale, Sydney, and luckily her mother ( from Chile ) still lives in Sydney. I still get down to PZ whenever I can ( last time 2 weeks ago ), and usually stay with Harvey ( or TC ). Saw most of the boys when I was down there ( Joe, Harvey, Jan, Bruce. Mike, Jmo ), and it always turns into a big piss up.....nothing changes. I am still in touch with KT ( one of the London boys now living in San Diego ), and Barbara 'duckpond' Freshwater ( although we haven't spoken in a while ). I'm sure KT would have some old photos of the Skewjack times and I know Barbara does.
Anyway, hope all is well with you....
Rob Salter
|Hi graham More photos for you and the site, good to see people still finding it.
|Rob says: This one is my buddy Owen, now living in Japan on the sunny island of Miyako, a few years ago he made the news when he rescued a local surfer after a shark attack - what a guy! ( what a meal!)

|Dear Graham,
Sorry but I can't remember you, but I do know some of the other names like, both the Chris's and PT, when I visited in the early 80's, Andy was one of the surf instructor's, Guy taught wind surfing and Dave rock climbing. I will get back to you with more specific dates, after I have rummaged thought old photos. I actually have live footage of Skewjack from my last ever visit, I think it must have almost been the last year it was open. I went down with my girlfriend to see my brother Alan Tucker and girl friend Jane Hart who were running the bistro (kitchen) for that summer. The footage is very boring in some places but great in others, I originally filmed it on an early video camera, which in turn was placed on betamax, my father has now had it put on to DVD for me. All this came to light very unfortunate circumstances, I found my brother dead in his flat on 10th September 2004, 3 days after his 36th birthday, my father found the old betamax video when looking thought old boxes of photo's.
The DVD shows a couple of trips to the old GoKart track by the Heli port in Penzance, which also had a big tank with bumper boats in it, the bistro is as it always was, but the main bar and club house had moved to the purpose built building the far side of the pool. My first holiday to Skewjack was about '82 when I was only about 16 my brother would have been 14 and my school mate Spud 16, the only reason we were allowed to go on our own, by coach, was that my father was on holiday in Pendeen while we were at Skewjack.
I will never understand why it closed and nobody ever tried to get it going again, OK some of the chalet's were a bit ropey, but the new clubhouse that was seemed well built. If it was open now I would go camping there with my wife and family. Following the season in Skewjack my brother did a year as a comi chef in the Queens hotel, Penzance, and lived in a cottage near Gulval. My bother went back to Pendeen last summer with his two young daughters a couple of months before he died, he told he that he had bumped into PT while he was down the so he is still about.
If I can get the DVD copied and you would like to see it in full moving colour, let me have an address to send it to.
Regards and best wishes, it is nice to see some people keep fond memories alive.

Derek Bradford
Didn't "Surf and Cruise" become "The Run to the Sun." See, Skewwjack did it first.....although we called it Custom Car Week
|Hi Graham
My names Derek Bradford and I attended virtually very custom car run to Skewjack, My good friend Martin West was the originator of the run and I used to offer my assistance in organizing the event.
I remember Skewjack with the fondest thoughts, and they were no doubt the best times I ever had.
And your right in saying 18-30s holidays were nothing compared to the activities that used to go on in the Skewjack bar!
I was in my late teens, early twenties then, but have now reached a young 46 and living in Burgess Hill
The custom car gave way to a sports car which then turned into the dreaded family estate and is now the middle age four wheel drive! Have to say looking at the photos on your website really bought back the memories, I recognized a lot of faces but couldn't put names to them. but will never forget Chris Tyler and Bouncer Big Cliff,
Also Big Al Mathews who lived in St Just and was a frequent visitor to the camp during the Surf & Cruise week.
I took the wife and kids to Sennen a few years ago, and we visited Skewjack as I wanted to show them where I used to go for my holidays.
They were not very impressed when we found it falling down and the entrance blocked with a mountain of rubble.
still managed to get in and have a nose around though!
I didn't know that it had now been completely demolished and redeveloped, and kind of feel really sad as its the end of an era!
It was always comfortable to know that although it had closed it was sought of still there if you know what I mean. But its nice to know that somebody is keeping the spirit alive !!!
I will keep in touch as I think I have a album full of photos somewhere. If we could only turn back the clock !!!!
Take care.... Del
|Colin Archer
|On a recent trip to Cornwall, and Mullion I recently visited
the Sennen area in an attempt to show my wife the Skewjack surf village
I visited as a young 17year old back in 83 from London in a vain attempt
to learn to surf, only to find it not where I believed it was in my memory
Despite driving through Sennen and the country lanes that I thought it was in I could not locate the place, which I know now to be because its been replace by the telecoms company, and could not find the little cove that was at the end of the lane past the entrance, only coming across Lamora cove is it ??
O n my return I surfed the net a skill I have managed to master in a vain attempt to locate what was back then our most amazing holiday, forget Ibiza, Shagalluf and all that.........Sennen Cove was always the place for us and that's when I came across your site and just looking through really stirred the memories, I even remember some of the staff from their rogues gallery
Great site and thanks for stirring a few memories, even the one of us pretty casual guys dressed like extras from a Wham video, from London walking into the sunrise bar on our arrival to be surrounded by what looked like the local Hells Angel Chaplain, watching ZZ Top on the Old Grey Whistle Test
Those were the days.........to see those tough guys dressed as cheerleaders later in the week at the fancy dress party was a real eye-opener !!
All the best with whatever you get upto..............and thanks for giving us all the best week of our lives, even thought we never did learn to surf If I manage to find any of our piccys from that time I'll forward them onto you
Cheers Colin Archer
|Doug Wilson
Like so many other people I have fond memories of the
old place and was pleasantly surprised to se some one else loved it to,
I was a replacement "Dr Fun" in 1981, and can't remember some
of it so it must have been good !,seeing Pete, Chris, Harvey etc brought
out loads of memories and a few old pictures which I will forward to you,
keep up the good work.
|Bill Mazey. Wales
|Hi, just typed Skewjack into the search engine and I found
you. Great memories of surfing sennen in `75,`76,`78&`79.
The brochure brought back some hazy memories, great,great site. I knew someone would do it one day.

On the evening of January 8, 1894 the prominent and well-loved town doctor lay bleeding on his bathroom floor. He had left four or five letters addressed to his most intimate friends before shooting himself in the head. The news of John H. Blue's death shocked his Montgomery, Alabama community. As reported by the Birmingham Age Herald, Blue's suicide was the second act of a larger drama, which began a week previously on December 30, 1894. On this cold December afternoon, William H. Kelley, chief of the fire department, came home to find Blue in bed with his wife. Kelley took his baby and went to his father's house where he admitted that the family physician had taken to bed with his wife. Kelley immediately filed for divorce upon discovering his wife's infidelity. Though both men were widely respected in the Montgomery community, the town ultimately sided with Blue and was loath to believe the charges against him were true. Blue was a man of a large family and was generally understood to be of a high moral character. Ultimately, Blue took the matter into his own hands and his suicide cast a gloom over the city.
Southern states first introduced divorce legislation at the end of the eighteenth century and the first general divorce law in the South was passed down by the Maryland Legislature in 1839. According to Alabama law detailed in History of Alabama, divorces were allowed in various cases including adultery, impotency, drunkenness, and imprisonment. Mr. Kelley would have thus been granted a legal divorce on the grounds of infidelity. In describing the history of divorce in the South, N.E.H. Hull observes, Divorce remained relatively uncommon in the pre-Civil War era, though the rate steadily increased and would continue to increase throughout the next century and a half. The divorce law in Alabama became more flexible as a result of the increasing prevalence of southern divorce. As documented in History of Alabama, divorces were subsequently granted if it were proved that the other had been guilty of...violating tombs, stealing from a church, cattle stealing... or other various offenses. As divorce became less taboo and more readily available in Alabama by the end of the nineteenth century, Blue would not have felt excessive societal guilt over his role in the Kelley divorce. Why then his suicide? According to the History of Alabama, divorces were not granted in the state: if adultery was committed by either in order to obtain a divorce. Perhaps Blue had secretly wished to divorce his wife and start a new life with the former Mrs. Kelley. If the state deemed his adultery deliberate, Blue would not be granted a divorce, which perhaps proved too much to bear for the physician.
While Blue's suicide can be viewed through the lens of southern divorce practices, the episode also provides and opportunity to explore family values throughout the South at the end of the nineteenth century. Social historian Carl N. Degler characterizes the South as a place where roots, place, family, and tradition are the essence of identity. Indeed family was an extremely valuable aspect of identity for most southerners. Families wealthy enough in the late 1800s and early 1900s commissioned large family portraits while poorer southern families depended on traveling photographers to capture their family's likeness. Southern social life was so family-centric that historians have likened southern family solidarity to that of a clan. Blue's suicide can be interpreted according to southern family values at the end of the nineteenth century. While divorce was legally an option for Mr. Kelley and his wife, the resulting break in Blue's family may not have been an option for the physician.
