Craig Brown Book of the Week: Drowning in wealth, booze... and Liz Taylor
THE RICHARD BURTON DIARIES edited by Chris Williams
Yale £25 ☎ £18.99 inc p&p
Aged 14, Richard Burton, the 12th son of a Welsh coal miner, confided to his diary: 'I am practically certain of being in the school play.' A dozen years later, he had moved to Switzerland for tax reasons, as he was now one of the richest actors in the world.
Burton kept a diary on and off from the age of 14 ('We have a woodwork theory exam . . . Lord Haw-Haw is talking now') to the age of 58, a year before he died.
The adult diaries are dominated by – in no particular order – drink, money and Elizabeth Taylor. These three elements seem to have been inseparable, each feeding off the others.
Fiery passion: Burton and Taylor between the rows in 1965, at the height of their jet-set fame
Every now and then, Taylor pitches in with her own angry comments, having peeked at a diary entry with which she disagrees. For instance, in April 1966, Burton ends an entry with 'I may have to work tomorrow. I look forward to it', and Taylor pipes up, 'You ill-tempered bastard! So do I – at least you'll be out of my hair!'
It is almost impossible to read the diaries without picturing the two of them as the warring couple in Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? – locked in an endless cycle of drinking, fighting, making up, drinking, fighting, making up.
'I went mad which ended up with Elizabeth smashing me around the head with her ringed fingers . . . We are fighting and have been fighting for over a year now over everything and anything,' he writes on one particular day, though it could be any day.
On another day he mentions that he drank three bottles of vodka before he began his evening's drinking. 'It is not a good idea to drink so much,' he adds.
He sometimes voices remorse, particularly after he has drunkenly lashed out at his daughter: 'I wanted to cry or slit my jugular.' But for the most part he either cannot remember exactly what happened, or doesn't want to, and spares himself the details.
Burton's friend Kenneth Tynan offers a detailed picture in his own diaries of the actor drowning in wealth, drink and Elizabeth Taylor. At the end of 1966, Tynan goes to Rome to interview Burton for the BBC.
In the Sixties and Seventies, Taylor and Burton were so famous that they acted as a magnet for other celebrities
Over the course of the day, Burton drinks about five bottles of wine, and then invites Tynan to dinner at the vast villa he is renting. 'Richard suddenly directs his wolfish grin at me and says, "How do you think Elizabeth is looking, Ken?" "Fine," I say, inwardly meaning "Fat." Pause: still eyeing me, he says, "How would you like to go to bed with her?" A no-win situation, as they say: to answer "Very much" is to lech after the host's wife, to answer "Not at all" is to stigmatise her as unattractive.'
Tynan attempts to wriggle out of this sticky situation by saying he's not sure he'd be able to rise to the occasion. Burton then shouts to Taylor, who comes teetering 'a little unsteadily' into the room.
' "Do you know what our friend Ken just said about you?" "No, dear." "He said he didn't think he'd be able to get it up for you in bed." Elizabeth turned blazing eyes on me. "That," she said noisily, "is the most insulting thing that has ever been said to me. Leave my house!!"
'So here I am being ordered out of a house for not having made a pass at the hostess.' The next day, flowers are delivered to Tynan's hotel room, together with a note begging forgiveness. 'But,' concludes Tynan, 'the scene sticks in the memory, not inspiring affection.'
This all happened during a month when Burton chose not to keep his diary, possibly because he was too drunk. The entry for some days simply says 'Booze'. One week in May 1975, it is the single one-word entry every day from Sunday to Friday, and then Saturday's reads: 'Went into clinic late afternoon.'
Why did Burton keep a diary? He once told his solicitor that it was 'merely a daily exercise in the obviation of frustration'. But it was an exercise in other things, too: he was bored by acting ('sheer drudgery') and yearned to be a writer.
Keeping a diary was a sort of practice run, and every now and then he sets sail on a passage of youthful autobiography, or a long, wonderfully detailed description of encounters with the hyper-famous, such as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor ('Two tiny little figures . . . that you keep on the mantelpiece. Chipped round the edges'), or Andy Warhol, with his 'face made of funny putty by an inept child'.
In the Sixties and Seventies, Taylor and Burton were so famous that they acted as a magnet for other celebrities. Or perhaps a Venus fly-trap might be a better analogy, as his pen had teeth. Anyone who is anyone seems to buzz all too willingly into their bright, perfumed world, only to be scrunched and swallowed with a kind of furious irritation.
Laurence Olivier is 'a shallow little man with a very mediocre intelligence', Princess Margaret 'infinitely boringly uncomfortable to be around', Lucille Ball 'a monster of staggering charmlessness and monumental lack of humour', Tennessee Williams 'a self-pitying pain in the neck', Maria Callas 'a bit of a bore . . . she is riddled with platitudes', and Marlon Brando 'that sober self-indulgent obese fart'.
One might have expected Burton at least to be in awe of poets, but not at all. Their presence serves only to make him sharpen his gimlet eye, and accelerate his vituperation. At one point, he describes a poetry reading with W. H. Auden in Oxford: 'The standing ovation I got . . . left a look on his seamed face, riven with a ghastly smile, that was compact of surprise, malice and envy.'
Of the misanthropic Welsh poet R. S. Thomas, he writes, with beautifully timed comic precision: 'I think the last tight smile that he allowed to grimace his features was at the age of six when he realized with delight that death was inevitable.'
Though he despised the press, he had a sure nose for scandal. In one entry, he remembers Bobby Kennedy having a speedy fling with Margot Fonteyn in the back bedroom of a Beverly Hills mansion, and in another he says of the illustrious film producer Sam Spiegel, 'poor Sam can only get excited if a woman defecates on his face'.
He is particularly obsessed by Rex Harrison and his wife Rachel Roberts, who form a sort of cut-price, shop-soiled even more sozzled version of the Burtons. Of Rachel Roberts, he records: 'She insulted Rex sexually morally physically and in every way. She lay on the floor in the bar and barked like a dog. At one time she started to masturbate her basset hound.'
Burton has the type of self-awareness that finds obscure comfort in self-loathing, but he never offers an explanation for their shared obsession with the making and spending of money.
On one day in 1967, he buys Taylor the jet plane they flew in the day before. 'It costs, brand new, $960,000. She was not displeased.' They then set off for a premiere, surrounded by eight guards because Taylor is wearing jewellery worth 'roughly $1,500,000'.
He is constantly totting up their earnings and their spendings. 'I have worked out that with average luck we should, at the end of 1969, be worth $12 million between us.' Reading in bed one evening, he asks Taylor what she is up to in the next room. 'Playing with my jewels,' she replies.
This intelligent, cultured man cheerfully enters into what he calls 'a Battle of the Rubies' with Aristotle Onassis, buying a diamond at auction ('I was going to get that diamond if it cost me my life') for $1,100,000 after Onassis 'chickened out' at $700,000. And so it goes on. 'I can be just as vulgar as he can, I say to myself.'
But why all this spending, financed by increasingly rubbishy films? He never offers an explanation.
I wonder if it sprang from an unconscious desire to rid himself of everything adult – his money, his fame, his reputation – and to return to those simple, far-off days in Port Talbot, when the very summit of happiness was to be offered a part in the school play.
FIERY PASSION: Burton and Taylor between rows in 1965, at the height of their jet-set fame

Car theft is on the rise across Doncaster and many other areas of South Yorkshire with figures revealing the county is now a hotspot for vehicle related crime.
With modern cars often now equipped with keyless entry, there is a growing issue of keyless theft, where criminals use so-called relay devices to trick cars into thinking the legitimate key is nearby.
The worse affected areas for car owners in South Yorkshire include Doncasterm, which has seen a 13 pwercent increase in vcar thefts.
Other areas include Sheffield South East (18 percent increase); Sheffield North East (four percent increase) and Sheffield (20 percent increase).
Last year was the worst year on record since 2012, with 89,000 vehicles stolen and nearly 200,000 attempted vehicle thefts in the UK. As a result, traditional security methods are becoming more popular as a way to protect cars.
New to the market is Supra UK's Car Key Keyless Entry Signal Blocker, a security pouch for storing keyless entry car fobs when a vehicle is not in use, which blocks any radio frequency enabled technology to give car owners security and peace of mind.
Made from a weave of silver, copper and nickel, the shield acts as a barrier for your keys' signal, meaning relay devices cannot be used to trigger the key into communicating with the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU) to unlock or start the car.
Commenting on the launch of the Car Key Keyless Entry Signal Blocker, David Ogden, managing director of Supra UK, said: "The statistics around vehicle theft are worrying, and although the automotive industry has worked hard to improve security measures, rapid advancements in modern technology can lead to new security vulnerabilities.
"We've worked closely with both the manufacturers and some of our key customers to identify issues surrounding existing products in the marketplace. This helped us to identify the key requirements for the Car Key Keyless Entry Signal Blocker, which has been purposely designed to meet these needs."
The Car Key Keyless Entry Signal Blocker is a simple-to-use, flexible pouch making it an extremely cost-effective solution. Made of highly conductive and durable material, the pouch prevents signals from exiting or entering the pouch.
David added: "We've tested the product extensively, and determined its effectiveness at blocking signal, even when using the strongest signal car keys on the market. The shield provides car owners with a safe and controlled means of storing wireless vehicle keys, ensuring complete peace of mind."
The Car Key Keyless Entry Signal Blocker, which retails at *£19.99, is available exclusively from Supra UK trading as The Key Safe Company, which also distributes the market-leading Supra C500 KeySafe™, the UK's market leading Police accredited LPS mechanical key safe for exterior installation.

For when you have all the conventional things that you need.
We have compiled this list of strange things that are actually for sale, that you can actually buy, and actually have, that actually exist. We couldn't make this stuff up.
Alright, we are completely aware that some of this stuff we completely made up the names (and possibly full out descriptions and uses) for because, well, it made this more fun for us to write. But trust us! Whatever they actually are they do exist.
1. Creepy finger hands
(for your fingers on your hands)
Do you know somebody who hasn't had a good old fashioned night terror for a few years? Well slide these creepy little suckers on to each of your fingers and wiggle them around a bit. Just the sheer heebie jeebie level caused by this sight guarantees your friend won't be able to sleep for a week!
2. The Baby Depressor.
(because the only thing cuter than a happy baby is a depressed baby)
Tired of that baby smiling and laughing all the time?
Is it about time your baby feels the stress and depression of the real world?
Do you want your baby to experience a full blown existential crisis during which he/she questions the very foundation of life?
Welp! Apparently, here is your answer!
(These uh… This is what they are.)
4. Foot Powered Bicycle.
(why does this even exist you ask?)
Have you ever been riding your bike along and realized how silly it is?
Do you wish there was a way you could keep both of your feet free of those pesky pedals and not be sitting down but still moving in a direction?
How many times have you joyfully been coasting down a hill and thought to yourself "Man, there's gotta be a much less convenient and fun, and much slower way to get around?"
Or maybe you've asked yourself, "how can I have all of the physics of just walking but none of the worthwhile parts of a bicycle while still having a bicycle?"
Well get you a load of this Bad Boy!!!
5. These are umm… These are Cat Butt Coasters.
(there, i said it)
Oh, they're handmade, so there's that.
6. Squeez bacon!
(Let me say that again… SQUEEZ BACON!)
(You guys… This is Bacon that you squeeze out of a freakin' bottle! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?)
I'm giving you guys solid gold here!
Okay, okay if you really NEED more explanation, here's the low down. It was developed by a Swedish restaurant owner after WWII or something. By precooking it and blending it in a special way, he was able to make a fully cooked 100% bacon paste that could be squeezed from a tube.
7. Super Covert Umbrella.
(they will never notice you there)
Got some light stalking to do but your dang face keeps blowing your cover? Bam! With the Super Covert Umbrella you can move around freely and nobody will ever notice you are even there!
This genius design camouflages your head and shoulders in an ultra unnoticeable giant yellow half bubble! It's as if you're not even standing there!
What's more, it comes fully equipped with its own built in peaking window and complimentary snorkly shaped topper thingy. Why? Because you like to peak around a little but still have a playful sense of humor, that's why!
8. Pre…Muddied…Jeans.
(This is not a joke… I repeat, THIS IS NOT A JOKE.)
(I didn't believe it either but after very little searching I found them and they are absolutely real. So I guess here's my pitch…)
I might say this instead: Do you accidentally make a ton of money in a cushy lifestyle but still want to look like you still work hard sometimes? These are your jeans.
Do you have $400 in your nice clean pocket but want to feel like $400 is actually $400? Slide into a pair of these wonder jeans I'd say: and you'll instantly look and feel like you could really use that $400 back. You know, that $400 that you just spent on Pre-Muddied jeans rather than on something far more important like bills… or food.
Are you wearing a pair a squeaky clean blue jeans right this very moment and are wondering how it is that all these guys you see walking around get that worn in, dirty look that you admire so much?
Welp! Here is it. The secret's out now!
And Last But Not Least
Pizza Gettin' Scissors.
(because they look like way less could go wrong than the old "slice THEN get" method)

A rose to Mississippi University for Women professor Nora Corrigan for her first-place on "Jeopardy," Tuesday.
Corrigan finished with more than $27,000 in winnings.
Wednesday, Corrigan finished third, for total winnings of more than $28,000.
Corrigan, originally from Reston, Va., is a great fan of trivia; she has been inadvertently preparing for the show over the years with all-night games of Trivial Pursuit with graduate students in college.
After two years in Columbus, Corrigan bought a TV a couple of weeks ago to watch herself on TV.
Corrigan holds multiple degrees in English from The College of William and Mary and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She spent a year as a visiting professor at McKendree University in Illinois before starting at MUW in August 2008; she currently teaches Shakespeare, English Literature I and II, and composition.
A thorn to Oktibbeha County for not enacting a leash law or any animal ordinance that could have spared five young dairy cows their lives and a farmer from thousands of dollars in lost livestock.
Mactoc Farm farmer Bill McGee lost dairy heifers, and more than a half-dozen others are injured, after pit bull attacks last Sunday.
McGee was awakened early Sunday morning by the sound of a heifer in distress and found a tan pit bull "clamped down" on the head of one of his 3-month-old heifers. A small black and tan pit bull accompanied the tan pit bull during the attack.
He fired a gun and scared the dogs away, but later Sunday morning, he found three more heifers dead in another pasture and a half-dozen others injured.
The sheriff''s department has been patrolling the area and questioning neighbors, but the county has no leash laws or vicious animal laws. And it also has no animal control officers. Any -- preferably all -- of these measures could have stopped this attack from happening or at least pointed to the owner of the dogs in question.
A rose to Timmy Lind, a junior at Heritage Academy in Columbus, for making a perfect score on the ACT.
Lind took the test five times: once as a freshman, twice as a sophomore and scored a 33, 35, 34 and 34, respectively, already well above most of his peers across the state.
But he was striving for a perfect 36, which he attained.
In 2009, less than .04 percent of the 1.5 million high school seniors who took the test scored a 36.
Timmy''s parents are Bert and Cristy Lind, are captains in the regional branch of the Salvation Army.
Timmy hopes to attend Yale University and study archaeology. At this point, we''d usually offer out good luck wishes, but with such dedication and intellectual talent, who needs luck.
A rose to the Starkville Board of Aldermen for declaring last Saturday Disability Awareness Day and supporting a series of events being held at the Starkville Community Market.
The events and declaration were to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Disability simulations were offered to the public, and the city''s elected leaders and department heads went on an accessibility scavenger hunt, where they sat in wheelchairs wearing goggles and attempted to find items at several different locations.

Ratings for Dr. Miles D. Hyman
Dr. Hyman was somebody I grew to respect, admire and like. He didn't take any bullcrap, didn't like liars and was honest to a fault. He made me see that instead of looking at all the things I could no longer do, I should be looking instead at all the things I could. He gave me a better quality of life then I'd had and when I learned he was retiring I knew I'd never find another doctor like him. He didn't just suddenly stop practicing, I was notified two visits before his last day.
I think Doctor Hyman was a wonderful doctor, yes he could get upset, but as others commented, people tried to con him all the time.I saw him for over 5 years, & I came to really respect him, he never told me what pharmacy to use, but I was told I could use only 1 & had to give the info on it, & the name was put on my prescription monthly.I have never used any type of nerve pills, but I was told on day 1 that if I did, it wouldn't be tolerated & I would be dismissed, which I fully understood due to all the deaths of taking them with pain meds. I wish that whomever helped with Dr. Hyman not practicing anymore, had to live 1 day in my shoes, they would gladly re-instate him.I miss my monthly visits with Dr. Hyman & his wonderful staff & I hope they are doing good, if I had the opportunity of being a patient of Dr. Hyman's again, I would not hesitate a second in doing so.It was like a 5-6 hour drive monthly for me to go to Dr. Hyman, but I would gladly make the trip again.I sure miss you!
I was called a "bubba" matbe because I wore a Camo cap. I was also told by Dr.H that if I didn't fill my prescriptions at Walmart or another pharmacy he reccommended in Franklin, N.C. That he would kick me out of his clinic. Then 1 day I called to get my medical records to switch to a Real Dr. I was informed that my records were in Asheville at the office of the F.B.I. because his clinic had been raided and they took all his computers and all patient records. I knew something was up when he demanded I use His pharmacies.This man is an egotistical psycho, that treats patients like they are below him.I have never been so de-moralized by anyone espescially a Dr. like Miles Hyman. I have since moved back to my home town in Alabama. I ended up on this site searching to see why his office was raided by the F.B.I. The pharmacy he demanded me to use was raided the same day his was. I can't remember the name of the pharmacy, but it was the one he said I had to use other then Walmart. RUDE Man!
The only problem I had was an issue with xanax that i had'nt taken but picked up from pharm,My urine tests were all normal. I wish he would of came to me over this instead of just discharging me.I am stressed over what i should do now. He has a little cold our first visit but understand people who abuse medication has made him have 2 keep his guard up.I had no problem with his policy but i did read it & it had nothing in it bout picking up a script from the drug store just if I took the medication.My only problem is he never brought this 2 me, I got a letter the day of my appt in the mail saying i was discharged.Dont get me wrong he is a very good DR. I hate to lose him as one of mine. Usually if a DR. is so called mean or cold usually someone has wronged him, Dr's are regular people to. He is very smart also & he does know about pain, which made me feel connected.
Dr.Hyman has saved my life! I have read some of the other comments and understand what they are talking about.BUT ppl need to understand that he (Hyman) gets lied to and conned constantly by ppl wanting narcotics. That is why he comes off mean.Once you get to know him and he realizes that your not trying to con him...he is GREAT!!!!!I look forward to my appointments w/ him. I think he is an outstanding Dr.It's just that he has to be covering his behind all the time from scammers. Get to know him, he is AWESOME!!!!!The staff are all great too!I woulden't know what to do w/o Dr.Hyman.
he is rude and will tell you you would not have pain peoblems if you had enough sense to go to college and have a sit down job like his.he is very disrespectful .no bedside mannners at all i had drather be in pain
I was shocked by this doctor's behavior. He was rude, intimidating on purpose, and verbally abusive. I found another doctor as quickly as possible. I still have a hard time believing a doctor can be so uncaring and disregarding of another person, and get away with it. Now I have a doctor who very competent and compassionate.
Hyman is a terrible person. I disagreed with him about something and he told me I was becoming something akin to aggressive. We argued for a few minutes about the fact that, as a nurse, I had to lift heavy patients and he countered that he did, too. He soon apologized saying I was right, drs. can refuse to lift patients but nurses can't so they have it harder. If it wasn't for my severe back pain AND Gene I would not go. He DID send me to another pain doctor to get a trial spinal-cord stimulator which I haven't had yet. He always wants just a "yes" or "no" to his questions and sits there dictating into his computer while you sit there waiting and waiting. He is a VERY hateful man and I become very anxious when it's time to see him instead of Gene. His office staff is friendly but of no help when you have simple questions which they should be able to answer.
I have been a patient of Dr. Hyman for 6 years. Twenty five years ago I was in a horrible car accident and spent the following years spending "thousands" of dollars at spine clinics, countless other doctors, not to mention scans, x-rays, blah, blah, blah. After being referred by a back surgeon to Dr. Hyman, finally, my life and most importantly the "quality" of my life are similiar to a normal person. I work 40-50 hrs. per week and am able to provide for my familys future. THANK YOU DR HYMAN!!! If you were "kicked-out" or "discharged" there is a 97% chance that you had ILLEGAL DRUGS in your system. Those numbers are facts not "assumptions' or "hear says". With that being said, I am sure none of us have a clue as to the quidelines or the hoops he has to jump through just to help people that "REALLY" need it, rather than people that just want a drug or a free ride.
I am realy sorry to say that pain management has come to franklin in the form of an egotistical,narcisistic,paranoid,napolian syndrome suffering **** with an education that I've ever seen in my life. He treats or rather makes people suffer for the all mighty dollar that he claims he's not getting. Step down Dr. you are HURTING much more than helping! Isn't that the opposite of the hipocratic oath?????

Fall and winter on the Oregon Coast offer frequent rewards for travelers who aren't afraid of unpredictable weather.
The summer crowds are gone and a different kind of traveler converges on the Oregon Coast. They come for a variety of reasons, primarily recognizing that the coast is a completely different and extraordinary experience this time of year. The lack of summer crowds is just the start. It's easy to get around, attractions and natural areas can be explored in a more intimate way and, if you want, you're likely to be able to find your own little slice of heaven that you don't have to share with anyone. Without distractions, the sound of the ocean, feel of the cool breeze and ocean mist in your face can be an inspiring natural adventure that can soothe your soul. The ocean is different in fall and winter. Don't be surprised to see big waves that explosively crash along the shoreline, turn foamy white or leave a spindrift of mist as they roll ashore. Herds of elk might be encountered around any corner, grazing in a coastal meadow. Still, the coast is not for everyone this time of year because, guess what? It might rain. While some weekend adventurers will watch the forecast for those not-that-rare sunny days for their visit, others come specifically for, or not caring about, a forecast that shows a chance of rain. I suggest the not caring about the forecast strategy. For me, the season's interesting cloud formations that can light up at sunset, dramatic darkened skies and the atmospheric marine layer that can blanket the landscape are as exciting as any sunny day. Take a chance on the unpredictable Oregon Coast in fall or winter and be prepared for whatever Mother Nature offers. You might get wet, but you're just as likely to experience something amazing that you didn't expect. That's the true beauty of the Oregon Coast. - By Gary Hayes

Capturing defensive value and impact through analytics, most NBA numbers-crunchers will acknowledge, still is pretty challenging. Compared to how those folks feel about their ability to track, measure and assess a player's or team's offensive components, the other side of the ball remains an inexact science.
But the NBA clearly is trying, as evidence by the supporting info provided with the release of its All-Defensive teams for 2014-15.
Consider what was noted about San Antonio forward Kawhi Leonard's finish as the first team's top vote-getter. The league's release read:
Leonard teamed with [Tim] Duncan to help San Antonio hold opponents below 100 points per game (97.0) for the 20th consecutive season. Leonard averaged career highs of 5.9 defensive rebounds and a league-leading 2.31 steals for the Spurs, who were 5.1 points better per 100 possessions on defense when he was on the floor than when he was off the floor, according to NBA.com/stats.
Most of those are old-school stats, no big deal. But the use of defensive rating and on/off numbers is an indication that even the so-called expert voters don't have to guess, go by reputation or rely solely on anecdotal observations anymore.
Similar numbers were invoked supporting Golden State's Draymond Green and Memphis' Tony Allen as elite defenders:
The Warriors allowed a league-low 98.2 points per 100 possessions, a defensive rating that dropped to 96.0 with Green on the court and increased to 102.1 with him off the court. Memphis' defensive rating was 8.7 points better with Allen on the floor (94.9 per 100 possessions) than with him off the floor (103.6 per 100 possessions). Green ranked 14th in the NBA in defensive rebounding (6.7 per game), and Allen finished third in steals (2.05 per game).
Also of interest in the announcement of the honors was the order of finish. The top three finishers in DPOY balloting – Leonard, Green and the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan – all made the first team, but because positions are specified on the all-defensive ballots, Allen actually had the third-most points. First-team votes count two points and second-team votes count one.
With four guard spots available vs. two center spots, Allen had a better chance to appear on more ballots overall. Allen received 88 firsts and 31 seconds for 207 points, while Jordan went 84-19-187.
None of the breaks between first-team and second-team selections, or second-team and "others," was close on points. But there were a couple quirky finishes. For instance, LeBron James received six first-place votes at forward to Duncan's five, but missed a second-team forward spot on points, 64-47. Russell Westbrook got 13 first-place votes at guard, more than John Wall's seven, but also lost on points, 67-35.

There are all kinds of changes happening around the marina and on the boat. The marina moved us to a new slip. Maybe for the winter. Maybe forever. Maybe, not sure, we'll see. It's actually our old slip that we had a long time back. And then we were moved, and now who knows. We've been loving the new view, the wide open.
Of course it comes with more rocking and rolling in a blow. And a longer walk down a now often icy in the morning dock. I am hoping there will be less ice and snow this year.
On the boat we're ready for the weather because the shrink wrapping is done. We did it a little early this year for various reasons, but now we're all tucked in and protected from the cold wind and whatever else comes our way.
The kids are already enjoying the extra little solar cave the "bubble" provides. It's a warm, quiet place to just hang out and re-charge. I wish I could lay in there in the quiet too.

All It Takes Is One Boiled Egg To Control Sugar In The Blood
Diabetes is insidious disease that affects the way the body will handle the blood glucose. The highest percentage of patients are diagnosed with type 2. With this type of diabetes your body can not use insulin properly.
The number of cases of diabetes is growing rapidly and therefore you should see your family doctor to check blood sugar levels. If the level of blood sugar is above 126 milligrams per deciliter (mg / dL) for fasting blood test or more than 200 mg / dL at any time during the day, then it is a sign of diabetes.
In order to prevent any damage to your body we will show you a very easy and simple, and all you need is a boiled egg, vinegar and water.
Boil an egg in the afternoon. Then peel and pierce it several times with a fork. So put the egg in a large bowl then pour vinegar and leave to stand overnight.
The next morning eat the eggs with a glass of warm water.
Before you start with this method visit your doctor to run the test in order to compare the results from this method. And after a few days of using the method you should go to the doctor again to make the tests again and you will be amazed by the results.

The story of H&S Bakery is a classic American success story. It starts with the Paterakis and Tsakalos families, who came from Greece to make a new and better life. Isadore "Steve" Paterakis came to America in 1921 with his wife, Kyriaki, and their daughters, Despina and Liberty. Their son John was born in 1929. Meanwhile, Roanthi and Nicholas Tsakalos also emigrated from Greece. Their son Harry married Liberty Paterakis, bringing the two families together. In 1943, Harry and Steve, for whom H&S is named, opened a bakery together. They started by making Italian bread by hand and baking it in an old brick flat-hearth oven.
H&S Bakery was incorporated in 1962, setting its sights on the rapidly growing foodservice industry in which it plays a dominant role today. In 1965, the Athena Automatic Rolls division opened as the company's first fully automated roll plant, which eventually grew into the multi-state Northeast Foods division that specializes in fast casual dining services.The family continued to grow, too. When John Paterakis was 23, he inherited his father's interest in the bakery. In 1950, he wed Antoinette Apostolou, and a new generation of six children came along. This third generation is actively involved in the business and now even some of their children have started working with them.
Still family owned and operated to this day, H&S Bakery and its affiliates are comprised of 14 divisions operating in seven states, with distribution in 23 states and still growing. The company is made up of more than 2,000 employees with a fleet of 400 delivery vans and more than 200 tractor-trailers. It has carved a niche for itself in the specialty bread category, and many of its products are still hearth baked for traditional European flavor and crust. H&S Bakery has continued its growth in the foodservice industry with the production of hearth-baked bread, rolls, bagels, and English Muffins.
The company's divisions bake a variety of products for restaurants and supermarkets, including customized fresh and frozen private label programs for European specialty bread products. H&S also operates its own outlet store in Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood just across the street from the bakery. The appetizing aromas of cinnamon raisin and rye bread waft throughout the streets of the city, as row after row of fresh baked goods come off the production line.
Neither H&S Bakery, with all its extensive divisions and holdings, nor its family members have strayed from their Baltimore roots. The family continues to support Baltimore's waterfront growth, including Harbor East and other economic development projects. They also contribute to a wide variety of community activities.
Lured to America by a dream for a better life, the family continues to give back to the people that helped make it possible for them to realize their dreams. H&S Bakery continues to flourish because its people share the same core values as Harry and Steve when they first started their bakery: hard work, dedication to the community, and pride of achievement.

additional resources are storage models intended to hold, protect and display screen a group of cigars. They arrive in various shapes and sizes, and might usually be custom made manufactured to accommodate the preferences in the operator. Cigar humidors are an essential equipment for just about any severe cigar aficionado, and can be priced any place from $50 for your straightforward wooden box produced to carry several cigars, up to the thousands for a sublime, handcrafted exhibit scenario giving most preservation and elegance.
By far the most important factor of the cigar humidor is its climate regulate system. That is what retains the solution clean, preserving both the look as well as the taste of your cigars over extensive amounts of time. Humidity and temperature are carefully managed and monitored from the most sophisticated methods. Such as, during the Climatech design by Vigilant, a maker of personalized humidors and cupboards, the system automatically heats, neat, humidifies or dehumidifies the unit in response to outside the house problems. It features digital controls and might operate maintenance-free for approximately ninety times, holding around 2600 cigars during the most significant model.
Moreover to your ready-made humidors obtainable, an individual might also switch just about any chest or cupboard into a local climate managed place for storing cigars with all the purchase of the separate humidification process. These gadgets are built to routinely keep track of and command the climate of any place, hence holding the circumstances at an optimum level for that preservation of cigars.
Cigar outlets and stores generally use a process termed a walk-in humidor. These are typically full-sized rooms exactly where stock is saved and might be shown for customers. All the location is under the very same form of weather control method used for the scaled-down containers or show instances, optimizing the humidity and temperature to maintain cigars hunting, smelling and tasting as clean as being the day they had been created.
For both the everyday cigar smoker and the really serious aficionado, a cigar humidor is the crucial to longer lasting, greater cigars, together with an aesthetically satisfying approach to display off a group.

Clothing Brands, Cost List & Evaluation
We are thrilled when our customers and friends share our images, products, web site in general or link to us… please do so, and do so typically! It is an American-primarily based clothes line which hit the headlines initially with their popular brand pertaining to jeans. Higher-end clothing brands are considerably in demand and the cause they have been so profitable is simply because of a mixture of great styles, flawless craftsmanship, higher top quality and meticulous interest to detail. I consider it is secure to say that if JC Penney has junior girls' clothes made in the USA, they are impossible to find.
This American fashion designer grew up in the Bronx, New York and went on to become a single of the most influential designers in men's clothes. It combines elegance with a friendly atmosphere exactly where even men can feel comfortable. These are the brands and fashion homes that folks watch out for with bated breath in any fashion week. Men never generally have sexy legs they have hairy legs, and that is not always a hot appear to be sporting, but that's just my opinion. Express for Men started out as the top retailer for men's slim fit shirts several years ago. Most fashion designers and artist have suggested Versace a seasonal clothing brand.
Coco was the catalyst for revolutionizing women's clothing (specially suits) and fragrance. The Levi's brand logo feature two red horses, although its much more iconic and recognizable branding is the 'Red Tab', a little piece of red clothes attached to the back pocket of all Levis jeans and on prominent place of other Levi's clothing. A lot more like than not, you will probably be sticking with a sort of clothing that is pretty distinct, whether or not it be streetwear, dance apparel, or even swimwear. This clothes brand mainly produces its products particularly targeting the adult guys and ladies.
The goods of this most costly clothes brand in the globe are also luxurious and fashionable. I currently reside in a poor area, but most of the Burberry stuff is made here…. so very good for the economy! Men's designer clothes has constantly played a pivotal function even though the glamorous quotient has constantly been the women's domain. This 6th most costly clothing brands also enjoys a healthier international presence. Right here we will give you a list of world-well-known brands that are popular amongst fashion conscious folks. When they announced their Made in the USA" program I was quite stoked, but so far there is not a lot of apparel.
Despite the fact that the Uniqlo web site recommends wearing the jacket with a pair of jeans I would advise against this as I have previously created my stance on denim quite clear However, if you do make a decision to shy away from this guidance I would recommend producing sure to put on measured (i.e. not skinny or loose fitting) darker denim or threat diluting the quality of the £89.90 jacket.

This means I can finally rock one more layer over the tees I've been wearing all summer, which is fantastic. I got to check out some light layering options from Breakbounce's new Autumn/Winter '16 collection, which is quite interesting.

THE LEGEND OF THE ACTUAL WOLF: There are outlaws, and there are outlaws. Some practice the pose and cultivate the image, though seldom dirty their soft, bourgeois hands with anything actually outside the law. When they do, it is often despicable, irresponsible or just plain mundane. The Actual Wolf (aka Eric Pollard), however, is a real outlaw and has pled guilty to it. Between the bust and before the trial AW recorded a pair of EPs, each showing 'another side of the Wolf'.
The first is USA, an everyman's acoustic album that channels both Woody and Zimmerman on a smuggler's road trip on the cop-laden corridor of the I-80. The second—Lightning & the Wolf— conjures a 30-something's symphony to Gawd, a rock EP at times so ethereal that it floats like smoke up into the aether, at others so earthy & grounded you can almost feel the parole. This is not music that pleads for forgiveness—the man has given his freedom as a sacrament at the altar of his beliefs. Rather, these are songs of redemption. Actual Wolf has paid a price, but like many deals with devils, seems to have come out the greater for it.
CHAPTER II… Some of you might recall Chapter One of the Actual Wolf story, but the details are timeworn enough to no longer bear repeating. The bullet points, however, remain important: trapped in a tiny town you've long since outgrown, the tedium of days waiting through obligations and hassles, stranded in the doldrums between tours and back-up gigs. Eric Pollard used this time as best he could, and the results speak for themselves.
In Chapter Two, the concept of Actual Wolf has evolved from 'man' to 'band'. Besides Pollard, the effort now includes collaborators Steve Garrington, Jacob Hanson and Jeremy Hanson, and Actual Wolf finds them fully enmeshed and luxuriant in their synergy together. Produced by Alan Sparhawk and mixed by Erik Koskinen, Actual Wolf comfortably demonstrates the timelessness of meticulous studio technique. Layered vocals and rich, tube-driven guitars lend a warm patina not out of place resting in a battered sleeve in a dusty record bin. Complex harmonies soar and shimmer, to hang like restless hawks in the thermals above the rich, earthy loam of Pollard's effortless working class poeticism.
In these songs, angels and devils mingle in neutral territory, and stubborn optimism burns life's accumulated disappointment as fuel. This is the sound of a New Americana: an accretion of influences as rich, dense and multicolored as a bed of living coral. Using ragged and tattered maps drawn by the weary, troubled troubadours of eras past, Actual Wolf navigates the freshly paved highways of the contemporary palette.
Minneapolis band Farewell Milwaukee released their fourth full-length album, FM, on September 9, 2016. FM is the product of successfully achieving the balance of furthering their artistic careers with a family life. "[The album] has the first song ever written about my daughter, called 'Hurt No More,'" says front man Ben Lubeck. "I texted my wife a few weeks ago after revisiting the album saying that this was the record I wanted my daughter to remember me by. Musically and lyrically."

Few concepts cause as much confusion as biodegradability (or degradability). Popular culture has led many to believe that burying the nation's waste in landfills is sort of like creating big compost heaps, and eventually all the waste will just go away. In fact, modern landfills are designed to minimize the breakdown of waste. So contrary to popular belief, most garbage does not readily biodegrade in them. Instead, a large plot of land is filled with a community's waste (except construction debris and hazardous materials)—once filled, the space is covered and often utilized as an airport, a park, or another function.
Many plastics do not biodegrade to any significant degree, while some do so very slowly if exposed to air, water and light—these are best recycled or used for their stored energy. Some plastics have been engineered to biodegrade reasonably quickly in a large composting facility that intentionally accelerates biodegradation in a highly controlled environment using copious air, water and light. These plastics also will break down eventually if left alone in the environment—but much more slowly since the environment does not "intentionally accelerate" biodegradation. However, similar to other biodegradable materials, they likely will not break down in modern landfills.

Meet TWS
Team Mafia
Dan Barnsdall
Lead Host/Founding member
Team Mafia
I started TWS Radio back in 2011 with Andy and Steve and I'm still here today lol I am now the host of Team Mafia
I have been a wrestler a fan since before Wrestlmania 9. When my grandad sat me down and put on a vhs of the Big Boss Man fighting Nailz and since then I've been hooked.
TWS gives me the opportunity to talk with my friends about this bizarre sport and also follow my childhood dream of being a radio DJ
I'm involved in most of the spin off shows with TWS including On the Road, Commentaries and Total Talk.
I love the fan interaction that TWS brings and I also enjoy the varying topics that the wrestling business gives us to discuss
Tobias 'Toby' Whiteford
Team Mafia
I've been a wrestling fan since 1997 when a friend of mine showed me the NWO in WCW, I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen…. then I found ECW! Shortly after I tuned into my first WWE PPV Royal Rumble 1998. The attitude era was just kicking off and it was the start of the big push of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.
The attitude era came at a perfect time for an 11 year old boy and hooked me on wrestling for life. Who knows one day it may reach those dizzy heights again.
I joined the show on episode 100 (yes that long ago!) after one of the founding members Andy (who?!) decided to take time off. This is my second stint in the show as I took some time out for personal reasons but I was drafted back in after Dan gave me an offer I couldn't refuse to join the mafia. How I got to be on the show was a complete accident. I met Dan and his wife through my ex as they had been friends for years, suddenly a normal dinner turned into an impromptu interview for a wrestling podcast, next thing I knew I was in the studio testing my skills.
I have gained a reputation for being negative about the wrestling industry today, I like to think of it as honest, after all it's not always bad! Recently my nickname has shifted from Sweet T to Sour T. The show acts as a way for me to vent my frustrations and share my opinions (after all I have lots of them to share!).

Joined TWS 2011
Hi guys I'm Cybil and I have been on TWS since nearly the start. When I came in to run the chat room after Hayfabe left.
I have been a wrestling fan for about 12 years. My husband (whom ever he is lol) showed me HHH V Kevin Nash in Hell in a Cell and since then I've been fascinated by the storylines and athletic feats the workers do.
I have always been passionate on getting the listener feedback and comments which is why I traditionally will run the chat room on the weekly show. I also host TWS ON the Road and TWS Commentaries.
Being part of TWS has given me some great experiences including tanning AJ Styles and meeting the Million Dollar Man.
I am also a very keen runner and run regular marathons and halves and I have often covered these in the show.
I look forward to interacting with the listeners each week and talking about the product.

I got into wrestling as of 2010 and my first impressions were this is so strange, especially as the first person I saw was Dolph Ziggler and he had a crazy tan and a dog collar on. But this crazy world grew on me fast and now one of my favourites is Dolph Ziggler.
I am also the duck in The Brothers Awe's crazy promo videos. If you haven't seen them, do it, do it NOW!

One question raised is that Jesus made no reference to homosexuality in the Gospels. That probably was the Jewish culture and if one was homosexual, it would not be wise to let it known. Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles and he would have encountered homosexuality in the Greek culture and male shrine prostitutes as part of the pagan religions - usually young males from what I understand. >From Bauer Arndt & Gingrich Arsenekoites - a male who practices homosexuality, pederast,sodomite. p. 109 Malakos- def 2 effeminate men or boys who allow themselves to be misused homosexually p.488 There are other uses in classical Greek in other texts that would give you perspective. It seems to me in typical Geek style there is two words where we have one: one for the recipient of the action and the other for the initiator. Ralph Hubbard
