Timeline Software
2. Enter events and dates
To provide an instant overview of events, you can access the Timeline Outline that lists the events and associated times. In the timeline outline, you can add events and edit time.
This timeline software allows you to drag and drop events on the time axis and to rearrange them and change the time accordingly.
3. Insert pictures and notes to the timeline
4. Customize your timeline
Once you decided on the layout, you can continue with customization. For example, you can highlight important events and add a background pattern or color.
5. Presenting your timeline
As a comprehensive timeline software application, MindView contains a unique printer function that allows you print the timeline as a poster using regular letter size or A4 paper. You simply enter how many pages you want to use horizontally and vertically and MindView splits the map over the respective pages. No need for a fancy printer!
Alternatively, you can export the timeline directly to HTML as an interactive website. By doing so, the timeline itself becomes the sitemap and when clicking on an event you will go directly to a page for that particular event. On each page any description, pictures or attached file that you added to the event in the timeline will be displayed. Viewers can return to the timeline by selecting timeline in the left menu bar.

Painful anal sex with a young couple on the couch. The girl invited her boyfriend for anal sex, in that he could not refuse. Fucking her doggy style, he put his dick in her pussy and began to fuck her intensely. Painful anal sex continued with penetration of his big dick in the small ass of the girl. This rather hard anal sex painful clearly brought the girl a relief.

1. Avoiding RFI and Other Common Interfacing Maladies (work in progress)
More often than not, reports of quirky, intermittent issues with radio control, CW and PTT interfacing, as well as hum and distortion in sound card audio, wind up being traced back to RFI - your own signal turning up where it doesn't belong. The following discussion is closely based on work done by Chuck Counselman, W1HIS. While it doesn't refer only or even specifically to N1MM Logger, it is good advice.
2. Ports Used for Interfacing
The program can interface with your radio using several ports from the computer. These ports are:
- Serial port - A serial port can send CW, control PTT or communicate with your radio; with some radios you may be able to do all three on one port. Hardware serial ports are rapidly disappearing from most computers, but if the computer has open PCI bus slots. inexpensive serial and serial/parallel port cards are available. Alternatively, USB-to-serial adapters may be used.
- Parallel port - Parallel (LPT) port interfacing is quite flexible. In addition to controlling CW and PTT, N1MM Logger uses the LPT port to control popular SO2R control boxes, and to send band information to a band decoder for automatic antenna or bandpass filter switching. Note that you will still need a virtual or hardware serial port for radio control.
- USB port - Most computers now have multiple USB ports. USB-to-serial adapters can be used to provide full serial port capabilities, but be aware that not all such adapters (or their drivers) work well with N1MM Logger or other programs writen in Visual BASIC. See USB Interface Devices for specifics. There are also many different interface devices available that use USB port control for a full gamut of capabilities. See the chapter Supported Hardware for more information.
- Sound card - N1MM Logger can use your computer's sound card to record your contest QSOs, and also to send stored audio messages to your transmitter in response to function key presses. For these purposes, it is best to find a computer or sound card that has separate microphone and line input jacks, as well as a line out jack. Some sound cards (particularly in laptops) now come with only two jacks, and the input jack is switchable between microphone and line levels. If this is the case, the obviously you will not be able to run your microphone through your sound card and record QSOs at the same time.
For CW the parallel and serial ports are assumed to have the default addresses shown in the list below. These addresses can be changed in the configurer to match your Windows setup.
|Hardware Address
These addresses used in Windows can be checked in 'Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) > (Choose a port) > Resources > Input Output Range'.
Nonstandard port addresses will not work for CW.
3. Radio interfacing
4. Interfacing for PTT and CW Keying
4.1. Choosing Your PTT Method
N1MM Logger offers multiple methods for controlling PTT on your radio. Unless you use VOX, or QSK on CW, you will need to select one of these methods, and your choice may vary depending on the mode you want to operate, your radio's capabilities and how you choose to use them, any existing interfaces or other PTT wiring done for use with other programs, and so on.
The available methods are:
- Hardware PTT - uses serial (COM) or parallel (LPT) ports. Software controls the state of individual lines on the port for PTT and CW (and in the case of the LPT port, additional SO2R-related functions.). This requires a driver (INPOUT32) - see Installing the Software for specifics. Works with USB-to-serial adapters, but will not work with USB-to-LPT adapters except for the Piexx SO2RXLAT.
- Software PTT - uses PTT (TX/RX) commands sent to the radio through the radio control port. For certain radios that incorporate a radio CODEC (effectively, a sound card inside the radio), if you wish to use it either for AFSK (digital modes) or as a voice keyer for SSB, you will need to use Software PTT. Check the Supported Radios section for your radio setup instructions. Software PTT is great with some radios, such as the TS-590, but with others, which require a longer delay between CAT commands, it will be slower than hardware or Winkey PTT. In the case of Icom radios, when a data collision is detected, the PTT may fail to actuate or hang in transmit, requiring an ESC to return to receiving. Also, please note that N1MM Logger cannot control a built-in DVK, as compared to a CODEC, because if the recorded message is not sent from the computer, the program cannot know when the recorded message has finished. Such DVKs must use VOX, for this reason.
- Winkeyer PTT - uses PTT provided by the Winkeyer USB series of CW keyers, but also works for SSB. If a port is set up to control a Winkeyer, and PTT is set as the Pin 5 function on the Winkeyer tab in the Configurer, PTT is automatically active on the real-panel jacks of the Winkeyer, and it needs only to be cabled to the appropriate jack on your radio. Winkeyer PTT is the most flexible of the PTT options, particularly on CW, because you can set the inter-character "Hang Time" separately from the end-of-message Tail Time. The settings are on on the Winkeyer tab in the Configurer. If you chose to use one of the other methods for PTT control, simply omit this cable.
- Digital Modes PTT - If using FSK, configure MMTTY to a COM port or EXTFSK for FSK keying, and also configure it for PTT on the same port. To use a radio CODEC for AFSK in digital modes, PTT must be handled by N1MM Logger using Software PTT (see above). For AFSK not using a built-in radio CODEC, use N1MM PTT options for other modes, or configure PTT in MMTTY. If you want to use the same COM port for PTT in digital and non-digital modes, then you must check "Digital" on that port in the Hardware tab of the Configurer, and configure MMTTY for PTT. This tells N1MM to close the port and hand it over to MMTTY when you switch to a digital mode.
For CW, if you have a Winkeyer, Winkeyer PTT is recommended, because it gives you the most flexibility in setting hang and tail time. If you do not have one, but have a serial or USB port, Hardware PTT is probably the simplest. You can do this with a simple transistor switch off the appropriate line of a serial port or a USB-to-serial adapter. CW and PTT can be handled on a single port, and with some radios it may even be possible to do radio control on that port as well if the radio does not need the RTS and DTR lines to be set in a particular way (since these lines are used for CW and PTT. Software PTT may work fine, depending on your radio, and has the advantage of not needing any additional cabling.
For SSB or digital modes, use any of the options above. Remember, if you are using your radio's audio CODEC, you will need to use Software PTT and omit COM or LPT hardware PTT control.
N1MM Logger does not and will not support this way of generating CW. There are a couple of reasons. First, on many transceivers, when they are in USB or LSB mode, you are precluded from using CW filters and other CW receiving aids. Second, sound-card CW is fraught with problems, including audio noise in your CW, RF interference to the CW tones, and the possibility of generating two or three separate CW signals due to audio harmonics. It's just a terrible idea!The simple interfaces described below are easily constructed at minimal cost with readily available components.
4.2. Parallel (LPT) Port
This is a typical simple interface

CW output
4.3. Serial (COM) Port
PTT output (RTS)
CW output (DTR)
4.4. Using a transistor
- Equivalents for the 2N2222 are 2N3904, BC547 or BC548.
- NB. It isn't a bad idea to add a 1 kOhm resistor from base to ground, also adding a shunt capacitor of 10 nF is highly recommended at the collector output to ground in order to prevent RF feedback to base and subsequent blocking.
4.5. Using an opto-Isolator (opto-coupler)
Some users prefer to use an opto-isolator rather than a transistor, in order to provide more protection for the serial port in the event of something going wrong downstream. In that case, however, two special considerations may apply:
- You may need to place a diode in series with the input of the opto-isolator, to protect it from negative voltage swings on a standard serial port. Check the specifications of the opto-isolator you use to determine whether this is necessary.
- Some opto-isolators may not pull their output "low" enough (close enough to zero volts) to switch PTT or CW on a given transceiver. In that case, appropriate "pull-down" measures must be applied.
5. Via USB port
Not all computers have serial ports anymore or not enough to control transceivers, packet, serial CW keying etc. In this case consider a USB to serial port adapter. Most of them do nicely control the radio. The problem with these interfaces is doing CW and/or PTT (and 5 bit codes). Test before or ask around if they work for radio control, CW or PTT control with your computer and radio! Also look first if drivers for your operating system are available.
With N1MM CW will work with native serial ports and with USB-to-serial adapters. For perfect CW not dependent on Windows processes the answer is Winkeyer by K1EL. CW transmitted as normal ASCII characters via the serial port. A USB/serial adapter will work fine with K1EL, because it is standard serial communications. Check the Winkeyer manual for more information.
In some cases PTT and CW keying may unexpectedly stop working when using a USB-to-serial converter. Check this Windows setting:
- Control Panel; System Icon,
- Hardware Device Manager Tab or button.
- Expand USB Serial Bus Controllers
- Highlight each USB Root Hub
- Double click for Properties settings, Power Management tab,
- Remove the check mark from 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'.
- The box is checked by default in most cases.
- Reboot the computer
A table giving evaluations by N1MM users of various USB-to-serial converters is in the References Section. Another overview of serial- to-USB converters can be found at the RTTY contesting page by AA5AU at: http://www.rttycontesting.com
6. Additional Parallel Port Interfacing
If the type of CW port chosen is LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3, and a hardware LPT port is used, additional information will be present on the chosen parallel port. In configurer select for which Radio the output has to be given on the selected port (Radio 1 or Radio 2). The BCD data on the LPT is that of the current active radio/VFO. The band data is available on multiple LPT ports — Radio 1 on LPT1, Radio 2 on LPT2 and so on. USB-to-LPT converters are not supported.

6.1. Diagnosing Parallel Port Problems
- MOSChip Semiconductors series MCS9900. This company is now owned by Asix Electronics Corporation,. and the very latest driver can be downloaded here. Specify PCIe Bridge for the product family. These chips are used in the SYBA SD-PEX10005 1 Port Parallel Card, available from the usual online sources.
- Oxford Semiconductor OX16PC952-954. This company's chips are used in several 1-port LPT cards, including the StarTech.com PEX1P, which also is widely available. Originally, they were thought to be incompatible with parallel port switching, but this does not appear to be the case (contact N4ZR for details).
1. Make sure you have the correct address specified in N1MM's Configurer. Typically, PCI-e add-in cards seem to have I/O addresses that are not the standard ones for a given port number. For example, built-in LPT1 ports typically have an address of 0378 for our purposes, which is the lower of the two I/O addresses given for the port in Device Manager. On the other hand, 3 different PCI-e cards tested all have fixed I/O addresses at D000 and D010, regardless of the LPT port number, and the correct address is the higher one - D010. When in doubt, try them both.
2. The first time you run N1MM Logger after a new installation, don't run it from a shortcut. Instead, go into the N1MM Logger directory, right-click on the executable (.exe) file, and select "Run as Administrator". It has been suggested that this step may be necessary in some cases, in order for the component that drives the parallel port to be registered properly, and it can't hurt.
K8UT discovered a nifty parallel port test utility at here. The crucial thing it does is totell you-- if it cannot find a port at a given address. It's freeware, and can be used with a voltmeter or something controlled by the LPT port (like a band decoder), with N1MM Logger settings put aside for the moment it will quickly establish whether the port is working properly.
6.2. External DVK Interfacing
When you select DVK on a parallel port, antenna selection via that port is disabled, because the DVK pins and the antenna pins on the LPT port overlap. Following is the table of pin-outs for external DVK control:
F1 pin 3
F2 pin 4
F3 pin 5
F4 pin 6
F5 pins 4 and 6
F6 pins 4 and 5
F7 pins 4, 5, and 6.
When F1-F7 are pressed, a 100 ms. pulse is sent to the relevant pins for external DVK control.
In order to record messages on an external DVK, you will need to connect your microphone to it directly, and follow the procedure outlined in the DVK manual; N1MM Logger support is limited to triggering the first 7 memories when the corresponding Function Key (F1-7) is pressed, and stopping stored message playback when the ESC key is pressed. Some external DVKs have as few as 4 memories, in which case only F1-F4 will trigger playback.
7. Band decoder output
Pins 9, 8, 7 and 2 can be set using the Antenna tab in Configurer. The output on the pins will follow the selected code which is being set up by the selected antenna.
7.1. Sample configs
To replicate the default Top-Ten Devices behavior, you would need to set up the Antenna tab in Configurer as shown above to the left|
It is possible to use more than one antenna per band with N1MM logger. With Alt+F9 it is possible to toggle between these antennas.
NB. Don't forget to add a space after the comma when more than one band is specified (e.g., 7, 3.8, not 7,3.8)
7.2. Sample Config > Antenna for two stacked antennas
You will need to make appropriate provision with a diode matrix on the output of your band decoder to select the appropriate antenna or antennas when a given code is sent from the program to the decoder. For example, if your band decoder outputs positive voltage and you use a tri-band beam with a single coax feedline, you will need diodes to sum the three signals from your band decoder into the one feedline.
8. Bearing data
Bearing data for rotator control is currently not available on the LPT port.
9. Sound card interfacing
Of course, you can always use one of the many commercial audio interfaces designed primarily for digital modes. However, if you have a sound card that permits feeding microphone input through it to the line output (most do), and has a mixer that will allow you to independently set the level of the microphone, .wav playback and internally-generated audio (such as for AFSK), you really don't need an interface at all. On SSB, simply plug your microphone into the sound card mike input. Cable the sound card's Line Out to the Line In or Phone Patch input of your transceiver, and you're done.
You may encounter hum, resulting from difference in AC potential between the chassis of your computer and that of your transceiver. In that case, a 600-ohm isolation transformer in the cable between sound card and transceiver is the cure. Another approach is to bond the transceiver and computer chassis together with a heavy wire. Many people do both.
If you absolutely must feed the audio output of your sound card into the microphone jack of your transceiver, the level will be far too high. In that case, a simple 10:1 resistive voltage divider is the solution, placed in the audio cable before the microphone jack.
10. Serial and Parallel port interfacing under Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7
Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 require a special dll, INPOUT32, which will be installed automatically by N1MM Logger to use the parallel ports.
10.1. Everything on one COM port
By Uffe PA5DD.
Shared ports allow for example Radio control/PTT/PTT-interrupt/CW on just one COM port, which might be all you have on your laptop. It requires that you make a serial splitter or a common interface. There are some pitfalls though:
- Radio control communication is without hardware handshake (as you are using the hardware control pins for other purposes). This is not a problem as such, since hardware handshake is not used by your radio. True at least for ICOM & YAESU.
- Some interfaces wire RTS/CTS together to allow a PC set for hardware handshake to work properly. This link must be removed for port sharing, as it will generate a permanent PTT interrupt on the CTS pin. This will abort your messages as soon as you start them. Also DSR should not be connected to anything.
- In some radio control serial level converters the handshake signals are used as power supply. This is not possible if both RTS & DTR are used for CW/Other. You will have to provide power supply from somewhere else (I use the PS/2 mouse port). Note that in this case you only have to split out GND TXD RXD for the radio control.
10.2. I need more serial ports
By Didier KO4BB
Interrupts are the limiting factor to more than a handful of serial (com) ports. There are 2 ways to address that:
1) You want to use "standard" hardware using Windows "standard" com port model, and as long as the software will let you select IO port and IRQ, and as long as you don't need parallel printer or floppy (and as long as your video card does not use IRQs also), and if the program lets you share IRQs (for instance, you don't need an IRQ for a serial port used to drive the PTT line), (that's a lot of if's!!!) you can probably cram 4 to 6 com ports into a single PC. Note that you may still have problems if you try to run high bit rate on all the ports at once (that should not be a problem with radio control though). Please note that the "standard" PC setup (and Windows) supports 4 com ports with only 2 IRQs. Those who have tried know that you don't want to run high bit rate on COM 1 and COM 3 at the same time because they share the same IRQ.
2a) You do away with standard hardware, and then you can use specialty boards that have 4, 8 or even 16 ports. However, these boards use communication processors so they only need one IRQ from the PC but your software needs to be aware of and be able to communicate with that processor, either through custom software, or through a driver for your OS (Operating System i.e. Windows), or both. That's what ISPs use to gang a bunch of modems to support more than a couple phone lines/modems with each PC. While these may have high communication rate capabilities (because the communications processor uses FIFOs, small memory buffers that store incoming data until the PC is ready to take it), they also offer higher latency (response time) than a native port, not ideal for CW, although with a fast PC, most users have been satisfied with this setup.
2b) USB adapters fall in the category of non-standard hardware, but because USB is now built into the motherboard, the communication processor hardware is directly supported by the BIOS, and the OS has the proper drivers, so that has quickly become a standard. However, the USB standard was not designed to minimize latency, so a USB-serial adapter, while OK to talk to a radio via it's serial port, is not ideal to do things such as CW using bit twiddling. That should be reserved to native serial or parallel ports (motherboard or add-on card). USB adapters are probably a little worse (with regard to latency and CW capability) than custom communication processors described at 2a) because the USB adapters communicate with the PC through a serial link instead of being directly connected to the processor bus, so the bit twiddling has to be done though a serial link, which adds latency. In addition, since the USB port may be shared with other devices, accessing these other devices while sending CW would be a bad thing.
Bottom Line: There are excellent USB combination interfaces now available that can control one or more radios, key them with Winkeyer, and even provide soundcard facilities.
10.3. Renumber your serial ports
As you install new serial ports (serial or USB devices) Windows may arbitrarily assign COM port numbers to them that are outside the COM 1-8 range of the N1MM Logger configuration menu. Reassign the serial/USB port to a different number. Here's how:
- Right click "My Computer"
- Left click on "Manage"
- Left click on "Device Manager"
- Look in the right window and find + Ports (COM & LPT)
- Left click on the Plus sign
- Right click on the COM17 line
- Left click on the "Properties" selection
- Left click on the "Port Settings" tab
- Left click on the "Advanced" button
- Select the COM Port Number you want in the drop down menu
- Click on "OK" a bunch of times to back all the way out
- Your serial/USB port number will now appear as the number you chose
If you have more than one COM port, you can change them all by selecting each one in turn and going through this process.

10.4. Exposing and Deleting Phantom Serial Ports
There may also be some invisible serial port number assignments on your PC. Here is how to have Device Manager expose and remove them:
- Click on the Start button and select All Programs > Accessories.
- In Windows XP, Click on Command Prompt; in Windows Vista, 7 or 8, Right-click on Command Prompt and select the Run as administrator menu item.
- Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit the Enter key.
- Start Device Manager. There are many different ways to do this; one is to right-click on Computer (or My Computer), select Properties, and then click on Device Manager. Another is to find Device Manager in the Control Panel.
- In the Device Manager window, select the View > Show Hidden Devices menu item.
- Click on the + sign next to Ports to see the full list of COM ports that have been assigned in your computer.
- Highlight an unused port number you wish to remove from the list and then press the Delete key. Accept when asked to confirm and continue with any more port numbers that you wish to delete.
Thanks to KK1L and N7WY for this tip.
11. Hooking up a Footswitch
A footswitch can be hooked up to a serial and a parallel port. The footswitch program action is for both LPT and COM ports on switch closure.
11.1. Parallel port
If pin 14 is not used to switch radios using an external SO2R box (for example, by using the Pause key), then hooking up a footswitch to LPT1 can be done by connecting a 10k resistor from pin 14 to pin 15. Pin 14 is normally +5V and provides pull-up voltage for pin 15.. Then connect a normally open footswitch between pin 15 and pin 18 of LPT1. Closing the footswitch pulls pin 15 low and performs the function selected in the configurer.
If pin 14 is being used for Radio A/Radio B control of an external SO2R box, a 5V supply with a 10k series resistor can be used to provide the pull-up voltage for pin 15.
11.2. Serial port footswitch information (using the 9 pin connector numbers)
Connect a 10k resistor between pin 6 and pin 7. Set DTR, pin 4 to "Always On" and RTS, pin 7 to "Always Off". Connect the footswitch between pins 4 and pin 6.
The program action will be on footswitch closure. The footswitch wires can not be referenced or connected to ground.

TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics
BOSTON -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was waiting for Tony Parker to break out. That's just what Parker did Wednesday night, leading San Antonio to a 112-100 victory over the Celtics in the opener of the Spurs' five-game road trip. "This was his best game in a while," Popovich said after Parker scored 26 points and dished out six assists in the road win. "He hasn't really scored, he hasn't been aggressive for whatever reason. He's known it. He's been trying to work through it, trying to put a finger on it, we're not (what it had been) but tonight he played a complete game. "I thought he worked hard on (Rajon) Rondo; I mean, he's so hard to cover, he's so dangerous because he involves so many people; (Parker) did a good job there and on offense he was real aggressive for us and created a lot of stuff, so this is the Tony Parker that we're used to, that we have to have if we're going to beat good teams like Boston.&q...

L-arginine Plus™ incorporates an ingredient that sets its formula apart, that ingredient is called AstraGin™. Why is this important? AstraGin™ is a proprietary formulation that has been demonstrated throughout several studies to significantly promote and improve absorption of amino acids, glucose, and vitamins. AstraGin™ increases absorption through the regulation and paralleled alteration on both the protein and mRNA expression levels of the Na+/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) gene.
Simply put, AstraGin™ has been shown through studies to enhance absorption of:
In an in vitro study, AstraGin™ was shown to significantly increase the absorption of amino acids, glucose, and vitamins when compared to a control group. The in vitro study on AstraGin™ is similar to the in vitro study published in J. Agric. Food Chem., Vol. 55, No. 5, 2007 by T.C. Chang, etc. that was sponsored and funded by NuLiv Science. The AstraGin™ in vitro study will be available for review after its patent application is finalized.
In an in vivo study, AstraGin™ demonstrated to significantly decrease the glucose level and improve the plasma insulin concentration in AstraGin™ treated animals for 1-month as measured by oral glucose tolerance tests.
In a human study, AstraGin™ demonstrated to significantly enhance the post-exercise glycogen storage in a 24 hr period in the treated subjects when compared to the control group as measured by muscle biopsy.
AstraGin™ is the first product of its kind. It is the only natural food ingredient that has shown in cell, animal, and human studies to significantly improve the absorption of many essential life supporting and health promoting nutrients into human cells. Some of these nutrients include amino acids, glucose, and vitamins.
AstraGin™ allows a greater amount of these nutrients to pass from the bloodstream into the cells. By creating better bioavailability, the absorbed nutrients can better improve overall health, fitness, energy, endurance, sense of well being, blood sugar balance, and lean body mass. AstraGin™ is the perfect food and nutraceutical ingredient to be included in dietary supplements.
AstraGin™ is a proprietary, all natural plant based formulation derived from highly purified Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membrenaceus using a pharmaceutical grade extraction and processing technology.
By increasing "transporter" and "mRNA" chemicals in the body, AstraGin™ helps your body determine how much or how less amount of specific nutrients are absorbed into the intestinal cells. The purpose behind the creation of AstraGin™ was to support and promote health and well being.

The 411 Music Top Five 03.13.12: Top 5 Songs About Alcohol
Posted by
Jeremy Thomas
on 03.13.2012
From Snoop Dogg's "Gin & Juice" and Lou Reed's "Underneath the Bottle" to Bob Dylan's "Moonshiner," Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" and more, the 411 staff readies for St. Patrick's Day with their lists of the top 5 songs about alcohol!
5. "Fashionable People" - Joel Plaskett Emergency.
All the cool kids at a high school party getting drunk and doing stupid, horrible things. Sounds about right. The main 'narrative' of the song is a guy getting drunk and hitting on a girl his friend is dating, doing his best to take advantage of her questionable judgment thanks to booze so he can hook up with her. And all to an incredibly catchy tune.
4. "Alcohol" - The Barenaked Ladies.
Learning to love self-destruction and appreciate the joy of completely losing control. I love how the 'narrative' of the song follows a person from enjoying drinking as a social activity, but not as a tool to get drunk and, eventually, figures out that there's something pleasurable in that. Like a few of my choices, a somewhat comedic take on the subject that also speaks truth.
3. "Underneath the Bottle" - Lou Reed.
"Oooooh whee, son of a b!" makes me laugh. A semi-humorous/semi-serious song about an alcoholic that's playful enough to use 'tame' versions of profanity and mixes them with black-outs and DTs... It's the alcoholic that laughs off his addiction and the problems that come with it, because he's afraid to face the truth. He never really denies the bad things that happen; he just doesn't deal with them.
2. "Stay Drunk and Keep Fucking" - Hawksley Workman.
Hawksley Workman has some great booze-related lines in his career (
beginning with "Fuck you, you're drunk" or the fabulous "Fighter soul alive in a whiskey-fueled rage" in "Anger as Beauty), but nothing touches "Stay Drunk and Keep Fucking." Using apocalyptic language, he tells the story of a doomed relationship where there are only two choices: let it die or, well, stay drunk and keep fucking. Not a detailed analysis of alcohol in any way, but the fact that it's necessary to stay drunk speaks volumes.
(There's no video to embed, I'm afraid, but you can
listen to the song on Workman's site
1. "The Bar is a Beautiful Place" - Ryan Adams.
This is one of my favorite songs period. Sad and haunting, it's a shame that this was shunted to a bonus disc of
rather than taking its place on that album where it belongs. A sad, lonely self-destructive song... a man who can't help but keep drinking and making a fool of himself, driving away the woman he loves, unable to escape the horrid cycle that drags him down further and further. The piano is amazing and Adams's vocal performance is one of his best.
Honorable Mention: "Drinking Beer and Smoking Cigarettes", Jon Lajoie; "Subtle Art of the Breakup Song", Cage; "Hair", Atmosphere.
5. Let Her Cry" - Hootie & the Blowfish.
Folks, there's a reason why I had my first alcoholic beverage when I was 22, and it wasn't because I didn't know where to get a drink. This song was overplayed when I was a kid, but its story about a man trying to connect with a woman addicted to alcohol still hits hard. This might not have made it onto my list if I hadn't seen this sort of thing played out enough times in real life.
4. "Alcohol" - The Barenaked Ladies.
I love songs that are subtly depressing—"Alcohol" sounds upbeat, but the song is sung from the perspective of an alcoholic who is doing his best to justify his addiction. Ironically, though, this is a bit of a party jam, so if you're in college and you like being "that guy" at the party, put this song on blast and laugh at the hypocrites like your name is Chris Jericho. Don't give me that look—you know you want to do it.
3. "Say It Ain't So" - Weezer.
A common misconception about alcohol addiction (and most drug addictions, really) is that they are merely self-destructive. "Say It Ain't So" is a song about alcohol in which the protagonist stays dry, and it remains one of Weezer's best songs. I don't know what I can say about the song that it doesn't explicitly state itself other than Rivers Cuomo confirming that the song is more autobiographical than you might hope.
2. "Pour Me Another" - Atmosphere.
In essence, this is the opposite of "Alcohol"—"Pour Me Another" is presented from the perspective of a drunkard who realizes how alcohol has destroyed his life, but he's too far gone to help himself and digs himself deeper into his addiction to wash away his pain.
You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having
doesn't feature the best songs that Slug has ever written, but the highlights rank up there with his best work. This would have ranked lower if I hadn't read comments from actual alcoholics who had been affected by this song.
1. "Last Good Sleep" - Company Flow.
Much like "Say It Ain't So", this is more about the effect of an alcoholic on a child, but I'm counting it due to its chorus, "At night I cover my ears in tears/The man downstairs must have drank one too many beers/Now every night of my life he beats his wife". The common complaint I've heard about El-P's delivery and lyrics are that they feel too detached and lack emotion, but "Last Good Sleep" is one of the most emotional hip-hop songs I've ever heard and is sold mostly on understatement. Most of
Funcrusher Plus
is fun and effortless, so for El-P to stick this song near the end of the album makes it pack an even harder punch. Don't listen to this song if it is near dark.
Honorable Exclusion: I will not be selecting "Whiskey In The Jar" by Thin Lizzy I picked it as my number one last time we had a Paddy's day Top 5, so this year, I'm going to mix it up.
5. "Glory Days" – Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.
This is the best kind of drinking song, as it perfectly blends a bitter lament with the feel good charm and joy of reflection. The big college sports star spends his days talking at the bar about his glory filled youth, while secretly regretting letting the potential love of his life slip by in the wink of his eye. Now the Glory Days are gone and the star is stuck in the same all old ruts, and what is there left to do but hit the bar and don a fake plastic smile.
4. "Drunk Girls" – LCD Soundsystems.
"Drunk Girls" wasn't James Murphy's finest composition but it was one hell of a good time. Not only for its A grade video, but for the way the tired looking Murphy rattles off a list of sublime witticism. My personal highlights:
"Drunk Girls Wait An Hour To Pee"
"Love Is An Astronaut, It Comes Back, But It's Never The Same"
"Just Cause I'm Shallow Doesn't Mean That I'm Heartless…Just Cause Your Hungry Doesn't Mean That Your Lean"
"Drunk Girls Would Like A Night Of Simplicity, Drunk Girls Would Like A Lover Who Is Smarter Than Me"
3. "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" – The Smiths.
Quite simply, "Stop Me…" is one of the finest indie anthems ever penned - it's faye but menacingly incisive indie at it's most devastating. Morrissey is on top form dispensing timeless lines ("Nothing's Changed, I Still Love You, Oh I Still Love You, Only Slightly Less Than I Used To") with a wonderful put upon charisma.
So where does alcohol come in? Well everything goes wrong for Morrissey, his bike crashes, he nearly died, he spends his night at the Hospital, he didn't mean to stand up his lover, but she's having none of it. How does the Pope of Mope cure his ills:
"Oh So I Drank One, It Became Four,
And When I Fell On The Floor, I Drank More"
C'est Magnifique.
2. "Here Comes A Regular" – The Replacements.
The best songs about alcohol are always the depressing ones, and no track is more devastating than The Replacements' "Here Comes A Regular". The intentionally painstaking track depicts a man whose life is ruled by drink to the point where he's a lonesome shut in drowning in booze, pitifully alone.
The beautiful sting in the track's tale comes at the choruses end, as Paul Westerberg softly coos "Am I the only one who feels the shame?" Is it an inclusive out reaching gesture to unite the helpless and the distressed or is it a vile rejection of a society that glorifies alcoholism? You decide.
1. "Theme From Cheers" – Titus Andronicus.
I could have practically picked any Titus Andronicus track but no other effort feels more depraved, depressing, and yet vaguely uplifting as "Theme From Cheers". It starts with the immortal line "I'm Sorry Mamma, but I've Been Drinking Again", and it only builds from there, as the TA basically admit to being pathetic shits with worthless friends, and a wretched life whose highlight/lowlight is getting smashed.
The gorgeously sardonic hook advises the listener to suppress their depression and drink instead. The rage pours over as the singer contemplates his existence even momentarily as he violently demands "Whiskey". "Theme From Cheers" is a miserable track that subverts the rollicking drinking song, while still being a hellacious ride.
A Preamble: I'll be going into this in greater detail in this week's Ten Deep for St. Patrick's Day, so I'll make this short. I will be one year sober in two weeks. As such, the songs I've selected don't do much to aggrandize the party lifestyle. The surprising thing is that, when you start looking at it, there are far more great songs about the negative side of the bottle than one might think. It shouldn't really be a surprise though. Just think about the short list of musicians whose lives ended too early thanks to alcohol abuse; Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Butterfield, Amy Winehouse, John Bonham, Bon Scott, Hank Williams, and Townes Van Zandt just take the tip. Past the clear irresponsibility of promoting the abuse of poison, the songs of recovery are the ones that I find myself more attached to these days.
Honorable Mentions - "What's the Use of Getting Sober (When You're Gonna Get Drunk Again) - Joe Jackson, "God Loves A Drunk" - Richard Thompson, "I Wish I Was Still Drinking" - Colin Hay, "When I Drink" - The Avett Brothers, "Too Drunk To Fuck" - The Dead Kennedys, "Alcohol & Pills" - Todd Snider, "Detox Mansion" - Warren Zevon, "My Alcoholic Friends" - The Dresden Dolls, "Drunk In My Past" - X
5. "Drinking and Driving" - Black Flag.
Well, if there is one constant about Henry Rollins, it is that the man doesn't pull his punches. He isn't going to write a song about why you shouldn't drink and drive. The the contrary, he wants you and your stupid friends to be blitzed and wrap yourselves around a pole. Just makes more space for him with a few less idiots in the world. I think that pretty much says it, doesn't it?
4. "Moonshiner" - Bob Dylan.
This early Dylan song is an unsung classic from the beginning of his career. The tale of a Southern booze runner that has resigned himself to a death in the bottle is nothing short of staggeringly beautiful. Sometimes I wonder is Dylan is overblown as a songwriter, then I hear a song like this. No one could have told this story but Dylan. I've included the great Uncle Tupelo version of the track below.
3. "However Much I Booze" - The Who.
There are a lot of commonalities between alcoholics. One that continually pops up is the utter frustration of turning to a medication that only seems to make things worse by the day. We know what will happen, but we do it anyway. After watching friends like Hendrix and Joplin succumb to addictions and seeing his bandmate Keith Moon deteriorate by the day, Pete Townsend was one of the first members of that great wave of rock to discuss the issue in an honest and open way. This guy is a legendary songwriter for a reason.
2. "Drinking Song" - Loudon Wainwright III.
At the beginning of his career, I don't think there was anyone writing better songs than Loudon Wainwright. He finally got national commercial attention with his third self-titled record with the hits "Dead Skunk" and "Smokey Joe's Cafe". It was "Drinking Song" however that really sells me on the record being one of his very best. In his own signature way, Wainwright uses searing humor and touching compassion to paint the utter desperation of alcoholism as a diseases that effects all people.
1. "New Drink For The Old Drunk" - Crooked Fingers.
I'm a huge Eric Bachman fan. His early stuff with Archers of Loaf is fantastic, but it is the work he has done as the leader of Crooked Fingers that is simply brilliant. Among all of those great songs, "New Drink for the Old Drunk" is my clear favorite. Once Bachman belts it's no crime to resign misery to the bottle, I'm forever sold.
Honorable Mention: "Margaritaville" - Jimmy Buffett, "Streams of Whiskey" - The Pogues, "I Drink Alone" — George Thorogood, "The Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)" - The Doors. "Tequila Sunrise" - The Eagles
5. "Seven Drunken Nights in Space" - Tom Smith.
First on my list is a humorous song that most people are likely unfamiliar with, though they may be familiar with the basic tune. "Seven Drunken Nights" is a well-known humorous Irish folk song about a man who continually comes home to his wife, finding increasingly-obvious hints that she's being unfaithful. It's been performed and covered many a time, but my favorite is filk singer Tom Smith's space-age rendition. It carries most of the bawdy humor of the original but in a sci-fi geek setting. The last verse in particular is awesome, when Smith comes out with "...what the fuck is that?" Great stuff.
4. "Blame It" - Jamie Foxx.
This is a song that people either really dig or really hate; there isn't a lot of inbetween on it. I am obviously a fan. This song...well, it's kind of ridiculous in the sound, because it's Auto-Tuned up the ass and the video is equally ridiculous. But I think it's Auto-Tuned for the right reason; like most of T-Pain's use of the technology, it's not an attempt to make someone sound like a good singer but to distort the voice to an electronic style. This became a huge hit for Foxx and to be honest, I really don't mind. It's got a smooth sound to it and the lyrics are pretty fun. Nothing wrong with that.
3. "That Smell" - Lynyrd Skynyrd.
See, not every song about alcohol is about good times and parties. Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote one of the best cautionary tales about drinking and drugs to excess with this song, which was inspired by Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington getting drunk and crashing his new car into an oak tree. Ronnie Van Zant wrote the song in order to send a message to his bandmates about how out of control they were getting. Rather creepily, it's debut to the public as part of
Street Survivors
, with lyrics about the "smell of death" and how "tomorrow might not be here for you," was three days before the plane crash that devastated the band and killed Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines and others and seriously wounded the rest. But I digress...the point is as a tale about the dark side of alcohol, this one's one of the best.
2. "Born Slippy .NUXX" - Underworld.
Otherwise known as the song from the final scene of
, this was actually the first song I thought of for this list. Underworld is one of of the pre-eminent groups within the trance scene, and "Born Slippy .NUXX" is easily their most well-known song thanks to its placement in the aforementioned Danny Boyle film. It might not be the first song that comes to people's mind when they're thinking of alcohol-themed songs; the pounding rhythm and electronica style obviously bring to mind some kind of hallucinogenic trip. However, those more familiar with the track know that the lyrics are intended to sound like an alcoholic's train of thought. When you think of it like that it's actually a kind of depressing song, but it also gives the song context and the realization makes it a better song.
1. "Gin and Juice" - Snoop Dogg.
In all honestly, my personal favorite version of this song is the cover by the Gourds (you can hear it
). However, in terms of pure quality and impact the Snoop original is definitely the rendition that makes this list. It's one of Snoop's more iconic songs, instantly recognizable. It's a laid-back, feel-good party song and well-deserves its spoit on this list.

Albany-- Albany's last attempt at hosting a professional baseball team was short lived.
The South Georgia Waves, a minor league affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, got out of their three-year contract after only one season in 2002.
The South Coast League contacted the city this week identifying Albany as one of the potential locations it would like to place a team.
City officials say they will discuss the offer with the league.
"We again will look at the terms of the lease, if we get that far in the discussions, and ensure that we make a sound business decision on behalf of the citizens of this community," said Assistant City Manager Kevin Hogencamp.
The league is interested in leasing field one at Paul Eames Sports Complex. If the team decides to come to Albany, it is slated to start playing in May 2007.

The problem is that Kaye, who's used to selling cars on TV, shoots Derek the Hater as lovingly as he would a new Volkswagen.
Travis Taghavi
If you somehow view this movie as racist, I feel sorry for you because 1)You clearly are ignorant of what constitutes racism and 2)You missed the point of an incredible movie.
Nov 25 - 06:39 PM
will smimy
that is one of the main reasons that he is a great director. He makes us feel sympathetic for someone who's views are so horrid. Of course the character's neo nazi views are terrible, that's the point
Nov 30 - 04:01 PM
Florian Hens
The viewers should realize: Somebody like Derek with those terrible ideas can be that sympathetic, but that doesn't make his them any better. It's much more dangerous to portray Neonazis as pure evil, because then it's much more likely that young people will fall for guys like Derek and his ideology. I'm sorry you missed the whole point of this great movie.

Please join us at the AICafe on Tuesday 15 January from 7.30 p.m. for Snow in Palestine: Challenges and Obstacles for Palestinian Civil Defence with Captain Shoukat Sa'ada.
Last week's flooding in the northern West Bank city of Jenin (Photo: itspalestinenotisrael.wordpress)
Last week's fiercest winter storm to hit the Mideast in years unleashed deadly flash flooding throughout the West Bank. The Palestinian Defense Forces had to grapple with different difficulties and barriers.
Palestinian Captain Shoukat Sa'adah will talk about the obstacles and challenges that the Palestinian Civil Defense faced in last week's snowstorm. The Palestinian Civil Defense confronted double obstacles; the frosty weather and lack of instruments and appropriate infrastructure rendered the necessary work much harder, whilst Israeli closure, control and limitation policies made the situation more dangerous. This lecture will bring out the deficiencies and alternatives methods and strategies adopted by the Civil Defence in this extreme case of emergency.
Shoukat Sa'adah, is the Training Manager of the Civil Defense Force of the Governorate of Bethlehem and Jerusalem. He has a BA in Management and Economics
Join us to learn something completely new!
The AIC is a joint Palestinian-Israeli activist organization engaged in dissemination of information, political advocacy and grassroots activism. The AICafè is a political and cultural café open on Tuesday and Saturday night from 7pm until 10pm. It is located in the Alternative Information Center in Beit Sahour, close to Suq Sha'ab (follow the sign to Jadal Center ). We have a small library with novels, political books and magazines. We also have a number of films in DVD copies and AIC publications which critically analyze both the Palestinian and Israeli societies as well as the conflict itself.

MONDAY, Aug. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Giving potatoes an electric
shock or immersing them in water and exposing them to ultrasound
can boost their levels of healthful antioxidants, new research
"Treating the potatoes with ultrasound or electricity for five to 30 minutes increased the amounts of antioxidants --- including phenols and chlorogenic acid -- by as much as 50 percent," study leader Kazunori Hironaka, of Obihiro University in Hokkaido, Japan, said in an American Chemical Society news release.
The findings were scheduled for presentation this week at the
national meeting of the American Chemical Society, in Boston.
"Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables are considered to be of nutritional importance in the prevention of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, various cancers, diabetes, and neurological diseases," Hironaka noted in the news release.
He added that the use of ultrasound or electricity to increase
antioxidant levels could have widespread commercial application due
to increasing consumer interest in "functional foods" -- such as
berries, nuts, soy, wine and chocolate -- that may have health
benefits besides traditional nutrition.
"We knew from research done in the past that drought, bruising and other stresses could stimulate the accumulation of beneficial phenolic compounds in fresh produce," Hironaka said. "We found that there hasn't been any research on the healthful effects of using mechanical processes to stress vegetables. So we decided in this study to evaluate the effects of ultrasound and electric treatments on polyphenols and other antioxidants in potatoes."
Hironaka did not say in the news release if further research is
planned to establish whether the two techniques really can boost
antioxidant levels in potatoes.

"So, this chest rig is FANTASTIC! Your magazines will be easily accessible. Everything is right there, and very easy to get to in a time of need. The only problem with it, (very minor) is that your back is completely exposed when you're wearing it. It really isn't a big deal, but it looks very awkward, so I would advise you get some kind of backpack or hydration carrier to cover up your back a bit (only if it bugs you). BUY THIS! Especially if you're on a budget like me. Yes, it also does fit M4/M16 magazines as well as the AK mags. The other pouches are very good for things such as bb's, speed reloaders, or walkie talkies. overall, this is an amazing purchase. You definetly get your bang for your buck."

"The rig is overall comfortable and holds the magazines very well. It isn't hard to get on and is easily adjustable. There are 3 pouches for AK type magazines, though I imagine M series weapon's (M4, M16) magazines would fit in as well. There are also 3 misc pouches which can be used to hold binoculars, ammo, speedloaders, or other misc accessories."
