Instructions on the Use of Alcohol, an Excerpt from James Brown'sThis River
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011
Editor's Note: We're excited to welcome back award-winning author James Brown to the Intervene community. Earlier this month James released his latest book This River, a memoir providing an honest portrait of an addict and his new struggles with sobriety, relapse and becoming a better father. This book provides a great opportunity for discussion with other parents as well as with your child suffering with an addiction. We are giving away two free copies of This River to two lucky commenters — please see the end of this post for details.
In many ways, This River: A Memoir, is a follow up to my last memoir, The Los Angeles Diaries, which gained a strong following among many young people, at least in part because the material revolves around drug and alcohol abuse. This River picks up where my last left off, describing my once tenuous relationship with sobriety, telling of agonizing relapses, and tracing my attempts to become a better father. It has been considered by some a heartbreaking and at times uplifting tale of my battles, peeking into my former life as an addict and alcoholic, and detailing my subsequent ascent to sobriety and fight for redemption.Â
I wrote This River for many of the same reasons I wrote The Los Angeles Diaries. I felt compelled to tell the truth about my life, and how drugs and alcohol destroyed so much of it, leaving me lost and alienated from those whom I most loved, my wife and children. I certainly donât glamorize or romanticize drugs and alcohol, and I like to believe that some people who have struggled with addiction, especially those with their whole lives still ahead of them, have come to respect my work for telling it like it is. Iâve been asked by dozens of colleges where, to my delight, my book has been used as a class text, and many times Iâve been approached afterward by a student with his or her own story to share, and thanking me for sharing mine. Not only is that a tremendous, wonderful honor, but it makes spending all those long hours alone in a room writing my memoirs worth every second.
A brief excerpt from This River from a piece titled âInstructions on the Use of Alcoholâ:
Part I
Youâre young, maybe 9 or 10, and your parents are throwing a party. All the adults are laughing and talking too loudly, in general having a good time, and you put two and two together. What makes them happy comes out of those bottles on the kitchen counter.
The brown ones, you learn soon enough, contain whiskey and scotch. The clear ones hold vodka and gin and that odd-shaped bottle with the long neck, something called Midori, contains a thick, syrupy green liquid. Thatâs the one that intrigues you most, and when the adults arenât looking you pour yourself a glass. You sneak it into your room. You lock the door. At first you sniff at it, and because it doesnât smell so good you pinch your nostrils shut before you take a swallow.
It burns the back of your throat. It makes your eyes water. You shake your head, and for a few minutes, until the alcohol takes effect, you canât understand how anyone in their right mind could drink this stuff. But then a tingling sensation begins to spread through your chest, your face is warm and flushed, and youâre suddenly light headed. You feel good, you feel great. Itâs as if youâve made a major discovery, a real inroad to the secret of a good life, and it only makes sense that if one drink has this effect on you that a second will make you feel even better. You finish the glass and sneak another. You repeat this action several more times.
In the morning, you wake with a miserable headache, youâre nauseous, too, and right then and there you swear never again to so much as look at a bottle of booze. But what the seasoned drinker knows that the apprentice does not is that those of us predisposed to alcoholism are hardwired to quickly forget our unfortunate drinking experiences. Next time you get the chance, youâll do the same thing all over again. Drunk, you find yourself smarter and funnier and stronger and braver and even better looking.Â
For the budding alcoholic, booze seems to do more for you than it does for others, and your only regret, at least to date, is that you didnât come across this miracle potion sooner.
Part II
Youâre older now, maybe 15 or 16, and what currently interests you is marijuana and the intrigue that surrounds it. You enjoy scoring weed behind the high school bleachers. You enjoy showing off to your friends how well you can roll a joint, and because the dope world has its own language, all the slang and clever code words, you feel special when you speak it.Â
 Then one day you try to connect with that kid behind the bleachers, the guy with all the Bob Marley stickers on his notebook, and it isnât happening.
 But he does have something else, if youâre interested, this stuff he calls blow. âItâs good shit,â he tells you.Â
 And as it happens with your first drink, so it is with the coke. It makes you feel great. It makes you stronger and smarter and braver and even better looking, and you dismiss those lies youâve heard about coke being addicting. Getting hooked is for weaklings, for losers, though you can see how the stuff might drain your bank account, since the rush is so short, and the more you use, the more it takes to get high.Â
For the budding addict, the supply is never enough, but your own regret, at least to date, is that you didnât come across this miracle potion sooner.

During a very dark time a friend told me, "Where there is life, there is hope." I don't know if he knew how profound those words were to me. In fact, I didn't even know at the time. I just heard the words and applied them to my son's situation.
At face value, the statement is so simple. Just seven words strung together telling me that as long as my son is alive there is hope he will see the light – that he can give up his life of drugs.
Then I began to think what does this really mean to me; what is the real meaning to that statement? After a lot of deliberation, I was able to feel the true meaning of those simple words.
Life is not just about our addicted child. Where there is life, there is hope applies to the parent's life, too. We can hope for our child to see the light and we can also hope for our own acceptance, peace and happiness. This statement applies to all of us and all of those we love.
When I look around I see life all around me. A wife, daughters, mother, brother, sister, caring relatives and friends are in every direction I turn. That's when it dawned on me: Where there is life, there really is hope!
Yes, there is! Where there is life, there is hope.
What does that statement mean to you?

Where are you running? What are you running from? I wish I could save you now. But you're lost and I don't know how. You've always been so bright. But the light has gone from your eyes. Your love has been replaced. By this poison coursing through your veins…
These are lyrics from Lisa Scinta's song "Addiction: Michael's Song."  I came across Lisa on YouTube where she's posted original and cover songs for her growing fan base. I have to say, I was pretty floored by her poetic lyrics and soulful voice.
Lisa is among the 85 million people – including family and friends – in our country affected by addiction.
She writes: "One in eight Americans struggle with addiction of some kind, whether it be drugs or alcohol. Having personally dealt with it, I know how frustrated and helpless you feel when someone you love is lost in their drug of choice. It is an awful way to live, and if you have a loved one that has an addiction, I pray for you and ask that you pray for my brother Michael as well. As always, it's far from perfect, but I wrote it in one day and felt strongly enough about it to get it up! Thank you for watching "
Here's her video:

I saw and experienced more than I was able to handle as a child. My father was an alcoholic which resulted in chaos in our family including physical and verbal abuse in my parents' marriage. By the time I was a teenager I was lonely, hurt, and angry. All of which I believe played a huge role in why I developed poor decision making skills and no self-worth I couldn't count on my father to play an active part in my life which left me with a void that I didn't know how to fill.
I was five-years-old when my parents divorced. My mother was a hard-working single mom who worked an insane amount of hours in order to support the family. This left me with a lot of unsupervised time by myself. I lacked structure and activities. I never received any encouragement to try out for sports or after school activities, and because of this, Â I never really thought that I could do it. I think that without a parent's support and encouragement it's hard for a teen to magically set up structure for themselves. Had I experienced the gentle nudges of my parents to get out there and spread my wings and try new things, I think I would have been able to learn how to build confidence, friendships, team work and good decision-making skills.
But that was not my reality. Reality was that I fell in with the wrong crowd. I made some bad choices with friends and ultimately became a follower. Since I didn't have much to keep me busy after school or on the weekends, I found myself looking for stimulation in all the wrong places. As I met more people who partied, the amount of drugs and alcohol that I had access to grew. Before I knew it, all I cared about was how I was going to get high. I blamed my mom because she was the one who was there. The drugs were finally filling the void that my parents left. I figured that one day I would grow up and put all the partying behind me. Before that could happen I found myself in a place where I couldn't stop using on my own.
My mom was angry and let me know how much I was letting her down but I didn't know how to stop and I couldn't picture my life without the drugs. I became mean and sneaky to protect my using at any cost. Ultimately, we lost all trust in each other. I was angry at her because it seemed as if, before my using inconvenienced her life, I was not important to her. She wanted so badly for me to change my behavior and I wanted so badly for our family life to have turned out differently. But neither of us knew how to fix it and I couldn't get past playing the victim.
The one thing about my mom was that she did not give up. If it wasn't for that fight in her I don't know if I would have ever gotten sober on my own. I desperately needed treatment to fight my addiction, but also to help me process all the baggage that I had been carrying around for years. Professionals were able to help us heal together. They were able to help my mom learn how to set boundaries, how to push me when I needed it, communicate with an angry teenager and become my biggest cheerleader.
We didn't take the route that most mothers and daughters take in life, but we are proof that addiction doesn't have to tear a family apart forever.

You may think: I drink alcohol and I know my limits. Alcoholics just donât know how to control themselves. Itâs their choice that they donât want to stop drinking. Just as easily, you probably infer the same thought process for other drugs out there⦠heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, etc. Drug use is a choice.
Yes, drug use is a choice. Itâs free-will to pick up that joint, light it and smoke it. But whatâs going on behind the scenes (i.e. in your brain) isnât a choice. Unless you can control your brain structure. In that case, who are you and where are you from?
Since I began working at The Partnership at Drugfree.org, Iâve often asked myself: Why is there such resistance to acknowledge addiction as a disease. The media is so quick to call the person with an addiction irresponsible, reckless, selfish and troubled. And the majority of online commenters fuel the fire by honing in on the behaviors of the disease, rather than acknowledging the disease itself. It makes me wonder two things: Are people really that cruel? Do people understand what addiction really is?
Maybe, maybe not.  My inclination is sensationalized news sells more magazines and drives traffic. Thatâs why news sources play up whatâs going on with the Charlie Sheens and Lindsay Lohans of the world, but why do so many of you? Itâs easy to blame someone for the choices they make in life, but when it comes to drug addiction, there is little choice involved. Although everyone has the potential for addiction, some people are more predisposed to addiction than others.
When a person is addicted theyâre suffering continuously; their brain chemistry changes causing distortions of cognitive and emotional functioning; and, even in the face of death, they continue to harm themselves. Family and friends of addicts claim erratic changes in mood, behavior and perception. Many say their addicted loved one becomes an entirely different person.
Just like schizophrenics canât control their hallucinations⦠Parkinsonâs patients canât control their trembling⦠clinically depressed patients canât control their moods⦠once a person is addicted to drugs itâs not that different than other brain diseases. No matter how someone has developed an illness, once the person has it, theyâre in a diseased state and need treatment.Â
Moreover, like any other illness, it affects family and friends, too. There are moms who stay up all night waiting for their child to come home. There are dads who fear that dreaded phone call telling them that their child has overdosed. There are siblings who try to remain strong as their family is slowly falling apart. There are friends who feel like their hands are tied, but are clinging to that small ounce of hope that the friend they once knew will accept help.Â
Ask the parents, family and friends of the addict if drug addiction is a choice. Go ahead and ask the addict himself as well. They will tell you from their experiences that addiction is not a choice.
Knowledge is power. (Sorry for the cliché). When we bash something that we donât really understand, and we do it in the numbers, it sways public opinion â intended or not. With this mindset, the stigma that is attached with the disease of addiction will never go away unless we all change how we view it.

Guest bathrooms can give you the perfect opportunity to create a bold entertainingly designed space that's welcoming for visitors to your home. These baths are often unbound by the constraints of other rooms, since they tend to stand alone in hallways or near guest bedrooms (which also present opportunities for bold design choices).
Before you approach style questions for your guest bathroom, you'll want to determine the layout. If space is an issue, consider a three-quarter bath containing a sink, toilet and stand-up shower. Most guests won't be taking the time to luxuriate in a bathtub, so this efficient design can give them all they need in a small space. Additionally, guest bathrooms generally don't require as much storage space as other baths in the home might, since guests won't be storing large quantities of bath accessories and linens over long periods of time.
Once you've decided on a layout for your guest bathroom, it's time to design. There's no requirement to go bold in a guest bathroom, and proximity to other areas of the house, like a living room or a guest bedroom with a particularly distinct design may make you want to continue a different style thread into the guest bathroom. However, if your guest bathroom is somewhat standalone, you can certainly experiment with bold colors and patterns, wallpaper and unique furniture and fixtures.
A guest bathroom should be welcoming and comfortable. However, you also want your guests to feel entertained and have fun, and the design of their bath space can contribute to this overall goal.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Music is not subjective. If you think it is, please stop reading this blog you smug fart sniffing douche. That being said, feel free to aid me in talking colossal amounts of shit about these horrible bands.
This blog has a few segments:
"______" IS AWESOME - Videos or songs from terrible bands.
ACTUALLY AWESOME - Videos or songs that are actually worth a listen.
AWESOME NEWS - Can be shitty or awesome. I'll post it if it seems noteworthy.
AWESOME REVIEWS - Uhhh Reviews (fucking duh).
I write this shit. I don't make the music or take the pictures.

Matt Good, Nick Martin, and Aaron Stern have all left D.R.U.G.S. following the news of Craig Owens rejoining Chiodos. Considering that Craig Owens is the only member remaining in the band, it can certainly be speculated that D.R.U.G.S. has come to an end entirely. Read a statement from the three members below by clicking "Read More."

If you've learned anything form me it's that bands are fake as fuck. If you've subscribed to me you're probably not an ignorant twit, but for those of you that still need help just listen to me please. I told you this would happen. Bands like D.R.U.G.S. are just throw aways. They mean nothing. Stop listening to pointless music with no substance. Don't you understand I'm here for you not just to bash everything (although bashing is super fun too).
i listened to them for the first time after i saw your blog. i'll definitely review them in the future. I just need to complain about a few more bands first.

With a loss of eight of ten turtle doves in 15 years, the only hope for farmland wildlife is paying farmers to protect nature
Image: Trebol-a
The failure of European leaders in Brussels to finalise the European budget means that the threat of massive funding cuts to our countryside and wildlife still loom large, says the RSPB.
Martin Harper is the RSPB's Conservation Director. Commenting on the EU Budget summit, Martin Harper, said: "European funding provides the UK with the largest single pot of money for wildlife conservation. This money, which is paid to farmers to put nature back into our countryside is vital, but it is still seriously at risk as EU leaders wrangle over the big numbers.
"This stay of execution must be a wake-up call to all those who claim they care about our countryside. We've already seen a proposal which could have led to the pot of money for wildlife-friendly farming being cut by up to one third. The loss of wildlife from our farmed countryside is a crisis which to date no politician has faced up to. We need European leaders to recognise that funding to tackle this must not be traded away when they next come together to thrash out a deal. Our landscapes, farmers and wildlife depend on the future of this funding."
Nature is in trouble – so millions of people are stepping up to help. Our wildlife has been disappearing at an alarming rate. But small steps make a big difference. If we all act together and get stuck in, we can save our wildlife.

The Porn Identity: How Do Porn Stars Choose Their Names?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
What makes a good porn star name? As the childhood game goes, you can combine your first pet with the street you grew up on to find yours. (In my case, it's Max Harvard.) But the truth is, some names just sound porn-y: For women, it's names like Amber, Tiffany and Britney. For guys, it's Lance, Brock and Butch. But what makes these names pornier than, say, Edith and Barnaby? What makes a porn name work?
While pornographic film has ostensibly been in existence since the birth of the moving image, the porn star name did not take hold until the 1970s, when the rise of adult theaters and the emergence of full-lenth mainstream porn films such as "Deep Throat" (1972), "The Boys in the Sand" (1971) and "The Devil in Miss Jones" (1973) created a new space for pornographic actors and actresses to become popular icons. Some argue "Deep Throat's" Linda Lovelace was America's first household "porn name." Other porn stars like Bambi Woods, Seka and Johnny Wadd followed suit.
Porn icon Annie Sprinkle, who has been in the industry for the past 38 years and has worked in films big and small with costars such as Sharon Miller, Harry Reems and Vanessa Del Rio, remembers the process of shedding her old name for a new porn one and a new persona in 1973. "I didn't want to use my real name, Ellen Steinberg. That was not sexy," Sprinkle recalled. "I was lying in bed, I needed new name, and I heard a voice that said, 'Sprinkle.' I liked that word because I've always liked swimming and I fancied myself a mermaid," Sprinkle remembers. This porn-name-as-rebirth story is common among the stars who choose to leave their old identities behind and rechristen themselves. The most practical reason for the porn name, however, is to keep family and friends unaware of the porn star's new line of work, one that would be an unwelcome surprise to many family members.
"My name helped me to totally change who I was, what I didn't like about myself, and become who I wanted to be. You can change your consciousness by changing your name and you can change other people's perceptions about you." For Sprinkle, the name also preceded her onstage reputation. "I didn't pick my name because I like golden showers, but I came into that. People assumed that I was golden shower girl because I had a name like 'Sprinkle.'"
But the porn industry, and porn names, have changed drastically since the 1970s. Annie Sprinkle recalls trends in the names of female porn stars through the '80s, '90s and 2000s. "The big trend was doing a takeoff on celebrity names like Angelina or Jennifer, but that came in the '80s and '90s. Many girls take on celebrity names, funny names, super-explicit names, elegant classy names, or girl-next-door like 'Sunny Leone.' But all of these names imply sexual fantasies."
Today the major names in porn include Jenna Jameson, Alexis Texas, Sunny Leone, Joanna Angel and Lisa Ann. Female porn star names often subtly or not-so-subtly indicate aspects of a performer's sexuality or physical characteristics, using puns, tongue-in-cheek allusions or direct references to famous porn stars of the past. They can be serious or funny, sultry or playful, original or generic. In the straight and gay porn world, men tend to go for hyper-masculinity. Famous male performers include Nick Manning, Francois Sagat, Jack Lawrence, Lexington Steele, Dale Dabone and Tyler Knight.
The Internet shifted the way adult film stars named themselves. Steven Hirsch, founder and co-chairmen of Vivid, explains that today domain names have serious influence over what an adult film star will choose to be called. "This is not 20 years ago. These girls have agents and managers and their names are well thought out," Hirsch explained. "The actresses understand the value of websites, they understand the value of social media, and nowadays they want to own the dot-com equivalent of their name." The studio rarely if ever intervenes in the process. "In the past we have helped a few of the girls pick their name, but at this point most of the girls that come into the studio are fairly well set on a name before they even meet with us."

No sound from USB DAC
Hi guys!
I have an Asus eee Box EB1501. I'd like to use my SuperPro 707 USB DAC (uses a C-Media 108 chip) to play stereo music through my amplifier.
The whole desired signal path would be:
PC->USB->SuperPro Dac->RCA->Tube Amplifier->Speakers
Problem is that even though Windows 7 detects the DAC as "USB PnP Sound device" no sound comes out from the speakers. My assumption is that Windows 7 thinks it's a "Speakers" device, thus it is outputting analog signal to it which is wrong. In fact, in the Playback devices configuration it says:
USB PnP Sound Device
I can "configure speakers" from the context menu which is rather silly since no speakers are directly connected as it is only a DAC.
"Test" function causes the green bar to happily jump as if everything worked fine. But it doesn't.
I managed to find some C-media Vista drivers which install a control panel applet with which I can set the output to "Digital". This works, and the PC then outputs digital signal to the DAC and sound comes out. But unfortunately these drivers are bloated and worse sounding than the same setup in XP default drivers (where all this works, btw) so I rather not use them as a permanent solution. It should be working with the default "no-fuzz" USB drivers as in XP - if possible.
I'm asking does anyone know any registry hacks or utilities to configure the USB PnP sound device's output options? Somehow I should make Windows understand it is a DAC, not speakers device.
Or should I install a different driver what the Windows suggests by default?
And like I mentioned, this DAC works perfectly in a Windows XP with the stock Windows USB drivers.
Thanks in advance for any tips!!

Well, should have known that right after I write all this I find the solution, or actually two
1. manually install the driver USB Audio driver. Then reboot. Then digital output worked right. This supports ASIO but not WASAPI output from for example foobar music player application.
2. Install the new C-Media v.126.96.36.1994 drivers from March 2010. These support both WASAPI and ASIO output.
I'm going with the first option because I think the sound is a bit clearer and punchy. Will do more testing but I'm happy now and hopefully someone finds this useful.

The 11th edition of Madlib's Medicine Show series boasts an initially daunting 28 tracks, but at just over an hour long; the album is an almost perfect creative blend of beats & rhymes, jazz laced instrumentals and comedic interludes. Don't be surprised if you're compelled to run it back in its entirety.
The whole thing plays out like a day in the life; all the while redefining the term "mixtape". Imagine one morning you recorded every song you played, every conversation you overheard, everything that went through your mind and every clip you absorbed on television; only to play it back the next day. On a trip through Madlib's mind, you encounter a brew of styles influenced by a variety of genres. This is a mix in its truest form; cuts, breaks, and a host of emcees.
If you're into Oxnard Green's abstract and sometimes psychedelic production coupled with hard verses, this project is for you. While Loop Digga instrumentals are sprinkled throughout, it is the lyrics that reach for, grab and hook you with their urban sensibilities. Low Budget High Fi Music has a familiar feel, with most of the usual Stones Throw suspects gracing the mic. Strong Arm Steady, Guilty Simpson and MED hit the mark, and keep the listener from zoning out to what could otherwise be classified as smoker music. Equally as engaging are appearances by Oh No and Madlib as The Professionals, Karriem Riggins (also with Madlib as the Supreme Team), Frank Nitt, A.G. and Talib Kweli.
All of the standouts feature MCs, and their distinct voices and flows take center stage around the Oxnard native's soundtrack. Early in the mix, the introspective "Thoughts On An Old Flame" shows a softer side of Guilty Simpson, as he tells a tale that could prelude Nas' "Black Girl Lost". The never released Jaylib track "Louder (Blast Your Radio)" evokes nostalgia and reaffirms Madlib as a triple threat; on the wheels, production and the microphone.
About halfway through we hit the electrifying energy of "Stageridin'", and Frank Nitt rides heavy 808s and smooth sampled loops with a steady ferocity, not missing a beat through tricky transitions. As the Supreme Team, multi-talented musician Karriem Riggins shines on "Interview #4080", where snippets are inserted interview-style over fat horns, along with 'Riem alternately asking and answering hustle defining questions. Toward the end of the run, Med and Poke's "Cheaters" will suck you back in; as they delve into the world of creeping over a soul driven groove.
All in all, Madlib maintains Loop Digga and Beat Konducta status on this one, presenting an ideal mix of his DJing, producing and MCing. His cohesive eclecticism is sure to keep you entertained for the duration of the project. This is head phone music at its best, and in line with the "High Fi" theme one can argue that we experience a full spectrum of frequencies with no distortion.
Madlib is always good, but I was a little overloaded on his instrumental stuff…this looks like it has more MCs on it, so I'm probably going to pick it up!
Always good to see some rapping on instrumental CD's just cuz there are already so many of those out. I dig Madlib, I'd even put him above J-Dilla
I was poised to pick up the entire collection of these, but I gave up early. This looks like a good one to jump back in on.
Above J Dilla never, but if u new about this project u would know there's a Dilla beat floating around there like "dudoo on a stick"

I had a killer toothache and finally decided to make an appointment. They gave me an antibiotic. Do you know how long it will take to help it feel better?
– Troy in Missouri
Good job going in to see an emergency dentist. Far too many people put off going to the dentist even when they are in pain. Often times, the sooner you go into the dentist when you have a toothache, the more economically and conservatively your need can be addressed.
To answer your specific question, Keflex is the generic name for Cephalexin which is a common broad spectrum antibiotic that kills both negative and positive bacteria. Your dentist prescribed either a 7 or 10 day supply of this medication for your tooth infection and recommended you to finish all the medication. After a few days your swelling and symptoms may become greatly reduced and you may think you are all better. However, it is vital to take all the medication recommended. Even though you may start to feel better taking the full supply of medication is necessary to kill the bacteria that has attacked your tooth and the bone around it. Leaving a bacterial infection present by not taking the complete dose that was prescribed can cause a more serious problem.
Antibiotics like Keflex will help fight the infection, however in order to prevent the infection from returning your dentist will most likely recommend a root canal and dental crown if the tooth is savable, otherwise your only other option would be to extract the tooth. If you want to save it a root canal would be necessary, which entails opening the canals of the tooth to drain the source of the abscess.
Dental implants are the best option to replace a missing tooth if you get into that situation. They look, feel, and function just like you are used to and are quickly becoming the standard of care for missing teeth.

Hi Jilly and Steve!-great to hear from you-loved the photos, especially the symphony in the cave and Jilly walking the plank!!

Well that's it from me for a while. I will pass you back to Jilly to continue the adventure and how I made her walk the 'Plank'. Steve
After leaving Barbate we stopped overnight at anchorage in Tarifa
The tidal flows in the Straits are such that you have to leave at the right time unless you want to fight the very strong currents. Gibraltar was only round the corner, so to speak, so we left with 2 hours of tide with us and had an excellent sail all the way.
The scenery was magnificent with the Moroccan mountains on one side and the rocky hills on the Spanish side. We could see the African mountains from way back after leaving Barbate. As we sailed along a British navy patrol vessel went past us and later we heard on the radio an officer warning an interloper in British waters to cease his activities and leave immediately! He was warned a couple of times before being threatened with a report to higher authorities!
By the time we had reached the turn into the Bay of Gibraltar the wind was blowing 18-24 knots and we had to cross the M25 of oil tankers and container ships and ferries so with me on the helm and Steve setting the sails we headed into the bay and then across between the ships to get to the marina
The marina is right by the runway...literally. We are also right by the cafe's, restaurants, shops and Main Street is only a short distance away. In this marina you have to berth bow or stern in because there are no pontoons. Hence the title of this blog is 'walking the plank'. To get onto the jetty every boat owner has to climb over the pulpit or clamber up from the stern end. We berthed with the bow in so that meant a gap from the pulpit to the jetty of at least 1.5m. Now, that is just too much for me to cope with so Steve had the brilliant idea of using the fender board as a gangplank which he then secured to the jetty and boat. A little bit of derry-do and I managed to get ashore tentatively. As each day progresses I have gotten used to the moving about of the board and have become more confident though trying to clamber over with a little LBD on and heels was a bit more difficult!!
We had a scout around later and Oh heaven. A piece of England with sunshine to stay in for a week with no sardinas or tuna festivals! Yes, we have M&S, Bon Marche, Topshop, Mango and Holland & Barrett! How I have longed for these shops...hahaha
On Friday we had a walk round the shops and Steve bought himself a new camera that zooms in miles!! We also had to get the electrics sorted out for the marina. Here the socket for the boat is larger than the normal ones so Steve had to find the chandlers to get an adaptor made up. Then he could charge up the battery for his new toy!
On Saturday night we booked to go to a meal that included a Blues Brothers tribute entertainment. That was brilliant. We had a delicious 3 course meal and then the tribute act played for 1.5 hours with us up dancing along.
The Bank Holiday Monday began with thick fog over the rock and the runway disappeared later. The sun soon came through and the rest of the day we spent relaxing onboard with Steve doing a couple of odd jobs. I settled down to the Daily Mail Saturday Cryptic crossword....couldn't quite get it completed though Tom!
Tuesday 28th August 2012
Oh dear, neither was up early today and I had to get my haircut at 1230 in town. I got there ok and a great cut too. Steve went off to his favourite shop, a chandlers, to get something for the boat and we met at the smashing coffee shop (Sacarello's) in town at 1.30pm.
Then we caught the bus to the cable car (�1.50 return hopper ticket) and spent a good while up the top taking the photos. It was very windy but lovely and warm.
After that we came back down and took the bus to Europa Point for some more photos and then the bus back to town.
Back to the boat to download the pics.
Thursday 30th August
Concert in the caves
Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven in the superb setting of St Michaels Caves
Back down to the town in the shuttle buses and a short walk back to Dunikolu around midnight.

Our last full day in Gibraltar and Steve's son Mark arrived on the BA flight on schedule. We had walked into town to watch the Strongman Contest being staged in the square before meeting up with him off the bus
We are leaving tomorrow for Duquesa our first stop in the Mediterranean proper.

Hi Jilly and Steve!-great to hear from you-loved the photos, especially the symphony in the cave and Jilly walking the plank!!
It all sounds very exciting, although quite complex and you both seem to be quite expert on all thing "sailing".I know its learning on the job though! Well done to you both and just to cheer you up, I've resorted to jumpers again as another grey day here. Take care

Detroit Lions Defeated by Deadly Bee Weapon
- Written by Jude Terror on Monday, November 18 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
In a surprise twist for NFL fans on Sunday, the Detroit Lions, rather than competing aganst the Pittsburg Steelers as scheduled, faced off against what appeared to be a team of large, mutant bumblebees... and lost. The defeat came after the Lions entered halftime with a seven point lead, but a fourth quarter rally by the overgrown bees proved to be too much for the NFC North leaders to handle. The rally followed a fake field goal attempt by the Lions in which the bees, believed to be a particularly aggressive strain similar to the well-known Africanized honey bee, or "Killer Bee," except considerably larger and more humanoid, forced a fumble.
"Aaagggghhhhh!" said Lions running back Reggie Bush at one point during the game while being attacked by the giant, menacing bees. "Holy shit! Aaaggghhhhh!"
Bush ended the night with 12 rushing attempts for 31 yards, 2 receptions for 23 yards, 0 touchdowns, 1 fumble, and 27 extremely painful stings.
"Thank god I'm not allergic," Bush told The Outhouse as he rubbed aloe on himself.
"BBZZZZZZZZ!" replied one of the enormous, horrifying bee creatures as it chased a terrified Bush from the locker room.
Batman was reportedly in attendence, and offered the following comment to The Outhouse:
At press time, NFL officials were unable to find anything in the rule books disqualifying mutant bees from playing in the league, but were considering imposing unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on some of the bees for taunting Lions players after big plays.

The Braves continued their trend of locking up the premium talent they have managed to develop by signing closer Craig Kimbrel to an extension that buys out his three arbitration years, as well as one free agent year with a team option for a second free agent year. The deal breaks down as $7 million for year one (2014), $9 million (2015), $11 million (2016), and then $13 million for the first free agency year (2017) with a team option for another $13 million season (2018) with a $1 million buyout if the option is not exercised. The deal is an excellent extension for the team, though it is certainly the most surprising of Frank Wren's recent splurges, as the general mood had been that Kimbrel wasn't long for Atlanta.
First off, the deal, in a practical sense, was the Braves "winning" their arbitration case with Kimbrel. The young closer had asked for $9 million in his first year of arbitration, and now, he won't receive that until his second season. The Braves will pay Kimbrel $27 million for his three arbitration years, which definitively represents a discount from what they would have paid if they had lost their 2014 hearing. The Braves bought this discount by assuming the risk of guaranteeing Kimbrel's salary, but those are the kinds of risks budget conscious teams like the Braves have to assume.
Kimbrel is in the midst of the best start to his career any closer has ever had, and the risk was very real that his unprecedented success would have been rewarded by an unprecedented payday in arbitration. As it stands, he will make more money in his first arbitration season than any closer ever, but the price isn't far beyond what Jonathan Papelbon and Eric Gagne made as to make the deal unpalatable to the Braves. Also, when considering both monetary inflation and the massive inflation of salaries within baseball, Kimbrel's deal doesn't really represent an earth-shaking payday for a closer who has reached arbitration.
The $13 million the Braves will pay Kimbrel for his first year of free agency is a hefty price tag to be sure, but it's not an unreasonable cost for the best relief pitcher in baseball. The final option deal is nothing but win for the Braves as they have the choice to either keep the best closer in the game at a reasonable price or cut ties relatively cheaply if Kimbrel's value has fallen off at that point.
The final point is, of course, the big risk the Braves are assuming with the Kimbrel deal. All pitchers are vulnerable to sudden catastrophic injury and closers even more so. Eric Gagne was once everything Craig Kimbrel has been recently, and Gagne even won a Cy Young award as the closer in Los Angeles. Gagne won the 2003 Cy Young award while converting a ridiculous streak of 84 consecutive saves. In 2005, though, Gagne blew out his elbow and his career was essentially over. ESPN insider Keith Law has argued that projecting a closer 4 years into the future is an utter impossibility, and therefore, the Braves are fooling themselves if they think they can have any realistic idea of what Kimbrel will be worth by the time his free agent years arrive.
All of this is to say the risk with Kimbrel is very real. For three years, the 25-year-old flamethrower has been the unquestioned best closer in baseball. It doesn't matter what metric you use to measure pitchers, Kimbrel leads closers in all of them. If you examine saves, ERA, FIP, WAR, strikeouts, strikeout percentage, etc., they all come up with Kimbrel in pole position, and the majority of the comparisons are not close.
If any closer is worth taking the risk on it is Craig Kimbrel. Sure he is one catastrophic injury away from sticking the Braves with an impossible to offload lemon, but this is true of all pitchers. The Braves have to be smart about where to gamble and with Kimbrel they are gambling on the best closer in the game in his prime years. It is a good deal that buys the Braves some more cost certainty for their run at a title with the current core, and of course, if the Braves do decide at some point that paying such a high rate for a sixty inning specialist no longer makes sense, nothing about this deal makes a dominant reliever like Kimbrel difficult to trade.

The new France 2014 World Cup Home Kit was presented four months ago after the victory against Ukraine by Franck Ribery, Blaise Matuidi, Yohan Cabaye and Raphael Varane. The France 2014 World Cup Away Shirt may be worn in the match against Netherlands, who will play with the new Netherlands 2014 Home Kit.
France 2014 World Cup Away KitThis is the new France 2014 World Cup Away Shirt.
France 2014 World Cup is white with dark blue applications. On the front of the kit feature light grey horizontal hoops, which are continued on both sleeves. The horizontal hoops are looking simialr as the Nike France 2011 Away kit, even they are not as visible as the navy stripes used then.
France 2014 World Cup Away Shirt comes with a unique collar, which includes three buttons and a crew neck collar. Like the home kit, the France 2014 World Cup Away Kit features a classical crest inspired by the badge used in 1958.
The new France 2014 Away Kit comes with dark navy shorts and white socks. France 2014 Away Shirt will be presented ahead of the March friendly against Netherlands.
France 2014 Home KitThis is the new France 2014 Home Shirt.
The new France 2014 Home Kit features a dark navy main color and comes with a classical big collar. The France Federation logo on the front is rather simple.
The special denim material pattern is inspired by the story of Nîmes, the birthplace of the modern denim style. Nîmes is a town in the South of France and historically known for its textiles and patterns and the landscape of Nîmes is said to have inspired today's rugged denim as well as the silk shawls worn throughout Europe in the 18th century.
The crest of the new France 2014 World Cup Jersey is inspired by the 1958 one to reflect the history of the country. The cockerel-design has been enlarged to become again the symbol of French national pride.
The short of the new France 2014 World Cup Home Kit will be white, while the socks will be red. They could also wear white socks at the 2014 World Cup.

Murdoch considers splitting News Corp divisions
Investor pressure is growing for Rupert Murdoch to spin off the troubled publishing arm
By CFOWorld staff | CFO UK | Published 11:57, 26 June 12
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, owner of embattled News International in the UK, is considering splitting its publishing and entertainment businesses, the News Corp-owned newspaper the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Investor pressure has been mounting on News Corp's board for a spin off of the troubled publishing business after the phone hacking scandal - involving the now defunct tabloid News of the World - was uncovered. The scandal sent shockwaves through the group and forced News Corp to pull its bid to buy the rest of the pay-TV group BSkyB.
Last month an influential committee of MPs said in a report that Murdoch was "not a fit person" to exercise stewardship of a major international company, and should take responsibility for a culture of illegal phone hacking.
In April James Murdoch resigned as chairman of BSkyB, part of the Murdoch empire, to avoid the paid TV broadcaster being embroiled in the phone-hacking scandal, which has plagued James Murdoch since last summer.
A final decision on the split has not been made, the WSJ reported, and the Murdoch family is not expected to lose its effective control of any of the businesses involved if the plan goes ahead.
News Corp's chief operating officer Chase Carey said in May that the management and board had discussed spinning off its publishing business following investor pressure but that they did not have any plans to push ahead with it at the time.
Murdoch had earlier opposed the move and as recently as May released a statement saying the group was not considering spinning off its British newspapers to protect the rest of the empire. But the WSJ reported that he has recently warmed to the idea, citing one person familiar with the situation.
The publishing division includes the HarperCollins book publisher, the education arm and newspapers including The Wall Street Journal, the Times of London, the Sun, the New York Post and The Australian.
The remaining film and television businesses would include 20th Century Fox film studio, Fox broadcast network and Fox News channel. The entertainment business would dwarf the publishing unit, with assets in the entertainment division generating revenues of $23.5 billion (£15.0 billion) in the year to June 2011, compared with $8.8 billion for the publishing business.
Analysts believe investors and some management will feel emboldened by the hacking scandal to push for a change at the company, where the 81-year-old Murdoch has long been seen as the main block to a spin-off of the newspapers.
The Australian-born tycoon made his name by buying newspapers in Australia and then the News of the World, the Sun and the Times newspapers in Britain and talks often about his love for newspapers and the publishing industry.

Juliet Macur
Juliet Macur is a sports reporter for The New York Times. Since 2004, she has covered the Olympics and Olympic sports, doping and legal issues.
She has written features on a variety of other subjects, including coyote hunting in Oklahoma, former Yankee owner George Steinbrenner's fear of mortality and the plight of N.F.L. quarterback Michael Vick's pit bulls that were deemed unadoptable.
Her projects include a series called "Countdown to Beijing," which examined the sports machine in China as that country geared up to host the 2008 Summer Olympics, and another called "In Two Arenas," which looked at the Iraq war's effect on athletes.
Before joining the Times in 2004, Ms. Macur worked as a project reporter for the Dallas Morning News, where she had the unenviable job of spending one entire season writing exclusively about then Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells. Before that, she covered the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Olympics and motorsports for the Orlando Sentinel.
Ms. Macur's work has received honors from the National Press Club, the Associated Press Sports Editors, the Society of Professional Journalists and the New York Press Club. Her work has twice been anthologized in the Best American Sports Writing series.
The daughter of Polish immigrants who came to the United States as refugees after World War II, Ms. Macur grew up in Bridgewater, N.J. She was the captain of the Columbia University rowing team while at Barnard College and received her bachelor's degree in 1992. After college, she was a competitive rower for the New York Athletic Club. In 1997, she graduated with honors from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

How to tell when your customer's a bad egg, or at least, a scrambled one
- |
- Written by Steve Cocheo
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
People and companies send many signals they don't want to send, or don't realize they are sending, said O'Leary. Sometimes these tip off a savvy banker to a company that's in trouble, and sometimes they indicate a customer that's not dealing straight with you. No matter the cause, what you see, what you hear, directly and indirectly, that smells like trouble, must be followed up.
"Bankers have to love gossip, because that's how we get our information," said O'Leary.
Beyond that, there are three warning signs:
1. Declining deposits. Average checking balances are way down from typical levels—or the customer is even overdrawing their account, when they never did so before.
2. Late financials. Quarterly financial statements arrive late … or they don't arrive at all.
3. Disappearing act. "Typically, the borrower becomes less available to the banker," says O'Leary. "The silence becomes deafening.
What do you do when signals indicate trouble or outright evasion or lying? A good first step is to exercise a lender's essential right to inspect its collateral on request. O'Leary doesn't favor a surprise inspection, but a pre-announced visit that gets the banker's eyes and feet on the premises.
"I found you could look around a place and tell how business was," said O'Leary. Just like the businessman described earlier.

I have been using a Walter Drake personalized planner for years and would be lost without it. It is in my purse at all times and I coordinate it with my Walter Drake Giant Calendars I have been using since the 1960s!!!! They are both invaluable. I like a paper calendar rather than an electronic device.

- Band Name: Bonobo
- Record Label: Ninja Tune
- Release Date: Mar 23, 2010

- Record Label: Ninja Tune
- Genre(s): Electronic

Score distribution:
Positive: 7 out of 10
Mixed: 3 out of 10
Negative: 0 out of 10
It is a hugely impressive piece of work, and subsequent listens will reveal further layers and melodies you missed first time around. Don't delay the induction a minute longer.
Black Sands is an album so fully realized that comprehending the places he still so obviously has yet to reach is staggering.
Although the parallels with Bonobo's peers are obvious, his fourth album doesn't just sit in their shadows. Rather, it's an inspiring example of how, free of pressure and publicity, he has blossomed into something beautiful at his own pace.
Even though Black Sands is no radical departure in the Bonobo narrative, it tells us once again how Green made Chill Out palatable to discerning listeners. It's also another feather in his cap for making electronic production into a sophisticated art form.
For a style of electronica (chillout/downtempo) that's grown decidedly dusty over the past decade--even though Bonobo is clearly striving to move well beyond such staid genre divisions, and in many ways succeeding, that's probably still the best place to slot him if you gotta--Black Sands is a welcome infusion of life and warmth.
With Black Sands, he's proven himself to be a skilled multi-instrumentalist who knows how to construct beautiful, arresting music with enough layers of complexity to hold interest for multiple listens. Nevertheless, if he wishes to avoid being the listening choice for those who don't actually want to listen, he's not quite succeeded yet.
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 3
Mixed: 0 out of 3
Negative: 0 out of 3
Aug 30, 2011Bonobo makes music that everyone can enjoy. My mom likes it, my 60 year old boss liked it (she hated everything else I played) I LOVE it. The genre is called Chill-out and that makes sense cause it so smooth and rhythmic. "Eyesdown" is one of the most played songs in my itunes, it is just so beautiful. As DopeBird said, this album was also one the first electronic music albums I ever listened to and still the best.… Expand
Jan 4, 2011This album got me introduced (and addicted) to electronic and dub music. It starts beautiful with a prelude to Kiara, and when the latter begins, the introduction of the bass is simply gorgeous. With the perfect vocals from Andreya Triana, this record is a thrill from the very beginning to the last second. It's a shame few people I know have heard of this gem..… Collapse

I keep wondering just how STUPID the low information voters (Obama's demographic, according to the Time Magazine nomination for Person of the Year) can be. Can't they HEAR the hypocrisy in this man's voice? Don't they remember what he said BEFORE, that he's refuting now? And then I remember--no one on the media channels THEY watch is bringing this to people's attention. Our side is sitting quietly by, preaching to the choir. We need to start teaching Critical Thinking in our schools. People hear Obama waxing poetic (and making no sense most of the time) and think he's just wonderful. THAT is our problem.
