New Zealand were minus one key ingredient when they lost their Rose Bowl one-day international series to Australia earlier this year: Sophie Devine.
The explosive allrounder was missing in action due to a dislocated thumb suffered while playing for the Adelaide Strikers in January, but the 27-year-old is back and is one player Australia will be firmly focused on nullifying in Sunday's crucial Women's World Cup group match.
Someone who knows better than most how damaging Devine can be is her Strikers teammate and Australian pace bowler Megan Schutt.
The South Australian had a perfect pitch-side view when her Kiwi teammate took apart the Hobart Hurricanes in a Rebel Women's Big Bash League game last Boxing Day, smashing eight sixes on her way to 103 not out from just 48 balls.
"She brings a bit of firepower," Schutt said of Devine in Bristol on Friday. "It's nice being on the same team as her during the Big Bash and not on the other side, so hopefully she doesn't do to me in a game what she can do in the nets."
"I'll just try and bowl slower balls (to her), I'm not giving my game tactics away but I'm not a quick bowler as it is I don't reckon, so I'll just try and take the pace off because she's just so powerful."
Schutt will also be hoping for a repeat of the treatment she handed Suzie Bates when the teams met in an unofficial practice match in Southampton last month, when she trapped the White Ferns captain lbw with the first ball of the innings.
Australia and New Zealand are familiar foes, having met in two ODI series in the last two years, in addition to that Southampton warm-up.
The Southern Stars have claimed the upper hand in most of those encounters, winning both one-day series 2-1 and walking away with a 46-run win in the warm-up, but Schutt is expecting another close contest on Sunday.
"We're expecting big thing every time we play them, I don't think we ever blow each other out of the park," the Australian said.
"So hopefully it's a good game. They've got some really good players in that team and if they fire it'll be a cracking match."
"It's a massive game, every game is a must win in a World Cup."
After a tough day in the field on Thursday, when Australia's attack were single-handedly taken apart by Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu on her way to an unbeaten 178, Schutt knows precisely what she will be working on as she prepares to tackle the White Ferns.
"Probably some yorkers, I think. I know that's what they're doing for me, there were a few missed lengths against Athapaththu so we'll work on that.
"I haven't been hit for a six over my head for a while so I was a bit surprised, but she just hits the ball so hard and played some really clean shots, so good on her."
With two wins from their opening two matches, Australia are keen to keep their winning momentum going through the hectic seven-game group stage, with Schutt saying spirits in the Southern Stars camp were high.
"It's really good. We've been having get togethers after each game and I think it sums it up, everyone is so happy and cheery.
"For me the photos after the game (on Thursday) with the smiles on our faces says it all."

Categories: Symptom
Angina, also known as "typical chest pain", is the type of symptom that occurs when a person is having a heart attack. The term describes a pressure or burning sensation that occurs in the center of the chest. This can radiate to the left shoulder and down the left arm, neck, and jaw. It is often accompanied by shortness of breath, lightheadedness, sweating, and nausea. Real angina rarely lasts for less than 5-10 minutes. If it happens with exercise and it's relieved by rest in a predictable manner it is further defined as "stable angina", if it happens while at rest or outside of any previously established pattern it is called "unstable angina".

When legislators charged with protecting the Chesapeake Bay toured the Severn River near Annapolis yesterday, they winced when they spied a sloping residential property that had recently been clear-cut in violation of state and local laws.
Using binoculars to examine stubby tree trunks and muddy ruts created by storm-water runoff, members of the Joint Committee on the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Critical Area vowed to strengthen state law that regulates building activity, including tree cutting and plant removal, within 1,000 feet of the shore.
"When you have million-dollar homeowners doing things like this, it's hard to get the rest of us to do it," said state Sen. Roy P. Dyson, a St. Mary's County Democrat who heads the critical area committee along with Del. Barbara Frush, a Democrat from Laurel. "There's got to be a better way to protect the bay."

I can't begin to explain the excitement I have for this school year, friends! After eight years as a public school teacher + four years as a stay at home mama, I am taking the plunge and homeschooling my two precious girls for preschool and first grade.
If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be homeschooling two kids in 2015 I would have laughed in your face.
A 'full blown, snorting through my nose, cross my legs so I don't pee my pants' kind of laugh, I assure you!
After three years of fairly disappointing experiences with a private preschool and a public charter elementary school, my EXTREMELY supportive husband and I decided to take our two fun loving, smart, energetic, creative kids on a bona fide learning adventure.
Exhilarating and terrifying at the same time……as most worthwhile things are! 😀
We are planning a year filled to the brim with reading, writing, drawing, traveling, dancing, singing, counting, building, designing, cooking, exploring and experimenting! Did I mention fun?!?! Oh yeah, buckets of fun, too!
I have always taken an 'everything in moderation' approach in all aspects of my life, and educating my children is no different. We are just getting started, but I'm looking forward to sharing more about our homeschooling journey as we embark on a very exciting school year! 😀

CRUNCH CLASH: Peter Culshaw has been patient for Damaen Kelly>
PETER CULSHAW will finally go head-to-head with British rival Damaen Kelly at the end of the summer, according to promoter Jess Harding.
The UK Presents boss is finalising a TV slot for the encounter, with a date in September or October most likely.
Harding said to the ECHO: "Everyone in British boxing is looking forward to this. It'll be a great fight between two world-class flyweights.
"I'm just waiting for television to give me a date and once I have that then the fight will be on.
"Both fighters want the fight and it's long overdue. I'm looking at September at the earliest.
"It's what I would call a real trade fight. Everyone in British boxing is looking forward to this.
"And whoever wins this knows that he will go on to bigger and better things against the likes of Eric Morel.
"Culshaw wants the fight and he knows that he really has nowhere else to go for a big fight.
"Peter must beat Kelly before he can move onto the next level."
Harding is also hoping that the BBC will give the showdown top billing rather their usual late night coverage.
"It has been frustrating because you want the fights going out at around 9pm and 10pm, but I know that they are going to have more dates from September onwards and there's an increase in their budget which will help as well," added Harding.
But Belfast continues to be the front runner for hosting the show.
Not for the first time Liverpool looks destined to miss out on a major sporting event simply due to the city's embarrassing lack of a decent stadium.
But Culshaw himself is just happy that the fight has moved one step closer.
"I've heard this all before," said 'The Choirboy'.
"I just hope it happens now because I won't wait any longer."

Big Excitement For Little School
March 20, 2009
By Lara Boyko
Special to NCAA.com
On Monday when the NCAA Women's Basketball Selection Committee made their yearly announcement that everyone waits for in hopes that their bubble doesn't burst, there was one team in Clarkesville, Tenn., that already knew what was coming and happy about it.
"It's so exciting," said coach Carrie Daniel of No. 16 seed Austin Peay in the Berkeley Regional who made it into the tournament for the first time since 2004 after winning the Ohio Valley Conference title this year. "Not too many people out there thought we would be where we are. We were a pre-season No. 9 pick, our conference only takes eight to our tournament and we were the No. 5 seed in our tournament. We had to go on the road to play the No. 4 seed and after we beat them, we had to face the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds to get the automatic bid. It was that unbelievable run to get us into the field of 64."
The Lady Governors' run may have been unbelievable, but it is how the players used their regular season experience in order to make it back to the one tournament that everyone talks about at this time of the year.
"It was all heart, determination and believing as these young ladies just believed all the way," said Daniels, who is in her second year as head coach at Austin Peay. "I think it was a culmination of learning from our mistakes throughout the season and it was a matter of the growing of our youth that got us to where we are right now."
This youthful determination comes in the form of one senior, one junior and 11 players that compromise the freshmen and sophomore classes. Yet even with as much responsibility that sole senior April Thomas carries this season, she is special for other reasons.
"My mom played at Austin Peay so that was one of my goals back in high school of why I wanted to play here," said Thomas of her mom Sandra Dailey who played at Austin Peay from 1977-79.
"She is my first recruit and I brought her back to Clarksville," said Daniels of Thomas who spent her first two years playing at Chattanooga State Community College. "After I watched her play on her junior college team, I saw talent in her. When you have talent locally, I've always thought you want to keep that talent close. When that opportunity presented itself to bring April back home, to me it was no brainer."
Thomas, along with her teammates, is having quite a memorable season playing in front of local fans. With a team leading 13.4 points per game and nine rebounds per game, the Lady Governors have proved why underdogs should never be taken for granted.
In addition to getting some big-time numbers from Thomas, the Lady Governors also get big-time play from one of the shortest players on the roster.
"[Five-foot-five freshman] Emily Pollock has been unbelievable and is a stick of dynamite," said Daniels. "What she does is immeasurable. You can't look at her and underestimate her size, which I think has been done a lot this year. She doesn't back down from anybody and there have even been times where we have had to pull her back a little bit because she gets so intense.
"She is a fundamental point guard who wants to set up the offense. She doesn't like to score, but rather wants to deliver the ball, make the flashy pass and gets the fans into the game."
Along with getting the respect of her coaches and opposing teams, Pollock has also earned the respect of her teammates who tower above and once doubted her.
"When she comes in, she gives us a lift on offense and defense," said Thomas. "The first day I saw her I thought 'Wow, is she really on our team because she is so small?' Then when I saw her play I was impressed."
Just like in Hollywood where big surprises can come from little known movies, Austin Peay is hoping for the same during March when they face No. 1 Duke in the first round of play in East Lansing, Mich., this weekend.
"We knew that it was going to be a tremendous team no matter who we drew and would be a tough task," said Daniels, who was a player on the first Austin Peay team that went to the NCAA Tournament in 1996. "We are not just happy to get into the tournament and show up to play. Instead we want to give Duke the best game we can. We are going to prepare our team for 40 minutes, compete at the utmost level and represent Austin Peay to the best of our capabilities."

Today I wanted to ask if it is possible to increase the PM storage for us members. Right now we get 50 storage across our sent box, saved PMs etc.
I often hit that limit really easily between a mixture of regular PMs and the quote notification being done via PM. 50 isn't a lot and I was therefore wondering if it could be increased?
One other issue is you often can hit that limit and not even know you've hit that limit because unless you're scrolling down to the bottom of your PM box you don't notice you've reached 50 PMs.

I was trying to be the good Mom this morning and make sure Michael had an understanding of Easter. Turns out, I learned something! This was our conversation (me in blue, MJ in green)
So, Michael why do we celebrate Easter?
So we have Easter candy!
Well, yes, we get candy. But, what does it have to do with Jesus?
Well, when Jesus died-
Jesus died for our SKINS
Oh baby, (giggle) yes, he died, for our SINS
Oh, for our sins
and when they went to find him-
he was GONE! He went to be with God in his home that was waiting for him!
For a three year old, that was good enough for me! As my Nana would say, God love him!
HAPPY EASTER everyone. May we remember the best part of Easter as my son put it, we have a HOME waiting for us!

Music on the Road Explained
Who says you need to be signed to go on a music tour?
In summer 2016, I combined three of my favorite components — music, traveling and writing — into one trip. Packing my baby Casino-like companion and portable amp, I spent the summer busking in some of the most culturally rich American cities, soaking in and contributing to each music scene. Some destinations were familiar to me — like Nashville, D.C. and my birth city, Atlanta — but most were new.
My goal in busking across the states was to learn. And learn I did.
Below are my blog posts from that summer, and the cities I visited.
Washington, D.C. — June 6-9, 2016
Nashville, Tenn. — June 10-14
Asheville, N.C. — June 21-24
Atlanta, Ga. — June 25-26
New Orleans, La. — June 27-29
Austin, Texas — July 1-4
Santa Fe/Albuquerque, N.M. — July 6-9
San Diego, Calif. — July 11-13
Los Angeles/Santa Monica, Calif. — July 14-18
San Francisco/Oakland, Calif. — July 19-27
Portland, Ore. — July 28-31
Seattle, Wash. — Aug. 1-3
Salt Lake City, Utah — Aug. 5-6
Denver, Co. — Aug. 8-10
Chicago, Ill. — Aug. 12-14
Detroit, Mich. — Aug. 15-17
Pittsburgh, Pa. — Aug. 18-20

Esquites (Corn Salad)
Roasting the corn under the broiler adds a little smoky flavor and also a "meatier" texture, more like the corn used in Mexico, which is less sugar-sweet than ours. You can also grill the corn over high heat. This snack is a popular street food in Mexico, and it's made inroads in the U.S. in recent years, popping up everywhere from county fairs to ballpark concession stands.
How to Make It
Preheat broiler to high with oven rack 6 inches from heat. Place corn on a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet; broil 8 minutes or until blackened in spots, turning once or twice. Cool. Cut kernels from cobs to equal about 3 cups; place kernels in a large bowl. Add cilantro, juice, mayonnaise, chiles, and cheese; toss well to coat. Serve salad chilled or at room temperature.

When music breaks your heart
But now, I've read this book and realise that perhaps I'm not done. Or rather, I realise what it was that I was done with—and what it was was not music.
Concealed in all the careful tutelage of the conservatory system is an almost heartless contempt for the many who can never sustain such standards once they've graduated. This system is all about super stars and even more toxically, it's about perfectionism and conformity. What isn't destroyed by the conservatory system is put to the torch by the marketplace, which in my case was what I like to call the "Orchestral-Industrial Complex".
In Kurtz's Practicing, he once again reflects my journey back to music from the well-intentioned but highly destructive schooling that most musicians undergo. Like mine, his return isn't a return to the audiences and certainly not the "music industry", but to the soul of music itself. Practicing is about the musician's journey back to his first love of music—the quasi-erotic sense of connection that is the essence of music.
As I play the theme of 'Weeping Willow' one last time, all my fantasies of success and all the flaws in my character rise again to the surface, my ambition and despair, concentrated in my fingertips. Each impulse, each need and doubt, clamours for expression, a little tyrant demanding its own way. And with each note these urgent demands collide with the limitations of my hands, my instrument, and my imagination. It is the same thing every day, the same as it always was. Yet everything has changed.

I LOVE SHARING!! My grandmother and mother always told me that sharing is caring. They also told me that I shouldn't block my blessings by not helping others. If you reach out to any of my friends/family/colleagues they will tell you that I am always willing to give them a resource or contact to help them. I don't understand people that hoard information or resources. I believe in allowing abundance flow freely even when others don't do the same for me.
Recently I had a friend ask me why do I freely help others and I chuckled and said "why not." She said she was wondering why I constantly help people that don't help me. My answer to that is I am not blocking my blessing and they can continue to block theirs. Greed is a deadly sin that will eventually catch up with people and I don't want to be part of that lol.
But truly I love what I do. I am very passionate about my work and therefore I am not afraid to share it with the world. If I had a dollar for every resource or tip I gave out I would be living on a private island in a name of a country I can't pronounce. But I know my blessings are much bigger than those dollars. My impact is much bigger than that. When you chase your passion the money will come and that has proven right thus far.
Don't be a hoarder! share information and resources with people who can use them. You never know what blessing is waiting for you or how that person can be a blessing to you. I have planted several seeds and I enjoy seeing people grow with the connections and resources I provided them EVEN if they have never did anything in return for me. I don't get mad or jealous I just thank God that I was able to help. What I realize is that you will come in contact with people that only want to deal with you when they know you can help them. The minute they feel that you are a threat to them or they got what they need, you don't hear from them. When I was younger this would have bothered me, but as a successful entrepreneur this help keep me humble because this is only work of the devil.
Remember you need help to get to the top or otherwise you will NEVER make it to the top. If you feel you are at the top now remember all the people who helped you get there. Don't be a hoarder share the wealth! It's enough in this world for EVERYONE to get!
Action Item- Find THREE people this week and share a source or contact that can help them in their journey.
Thank me later!
The Business Dr.

Tom Vanderbilt Interview: Drivers Are Disconnected from Other Human Beings (Video)
You Have to See Those Near-Crashes
Our friends at StreetFilms sat down with Tom Vanderbilt, the author of the excellent book Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Drive (which Lloyd reviewed a couple years ago). If you ever drive a car, you should read it, or at least watch this interview. It is very scary to learn just how our evolved mechanisms start to fail when we drive, and how less aware of our environment we are. The sequence where they show footage from spy cams in cars that are having accidents is quite telling. Via StreetFilms. See also: Drive No More: 6 Alternatives to Your Car

On the Blazers.
Being gone for 10 weeks was not easy. The hardest part was being away from the first quarter or so of this Blazers, my Blazers season. A season of much hope, hype and speculation. Of course before I am even able to watch a full game in the comfort of my own home, there is barely a team left. Outlaw, Batum. Then Rudy, and...Oden. Then Nate, and, you've got to be kidding, Pryzbilla?!!! ( not to mention owner Paul Allen, and Patty Mills) all out for the count.
Then, tonight, Brandon Roy, is out with a (hopefully temporary) shoulder injury. And we have to finish a brutal road trip (I can relate) in San Antonio?!! Can this last? How can it? But this squad tonight,and only in slightly lesser extent last night as well, played with more heart than any Blazer team that has taken the floor this season. The boys came together to win each quarter, each rebound, each possession and finish off an amazin 3-1 road trip and going 4-1 in the last 5 games. Just so happens to be the 5 games AFTER I got back. Coincidence? Nah. Daddy's home.

Did It
Bottom of the Hill was kinda crazy. Sold out, which was a nice way to go out. My goal was to get wasted, and it was an unbridled success. Nick stayed w/his fam and the three of us trucked it after the show, and now, home, let the decompress begin. Otis has his winter fur. My room is in a shambles and my plants are dead. Great to be back though. Goodnight.

Up and about to head to Intelligencia to get fueled up for the drive to SF and then home. Great show last night at the Bootleg Theater. New fave place to play in LA great sound and people. Angus, always the man, hookin us up with the best taco trucks and the sweetest killer accomodations for I don't know how many years running but the guy is a saint.

Lets do this dang thing.

Ok City
Had a decent show. Probably the best one at that venue. This tour I've been really noticing the numbers of appearances at certain venues. This was numero 4 for the Conservatory in OkC. The place is slightly improving, structurally, each time, and I guess show wise too. Hard as we tried, no adequate accomodations so, yep all night drive to Austin. Arrived at our friend Laura's at 8am. Yea. feel weird. And of course we play LATE 12:45. Counting the shows in Austin would be impossible with 4 SXSW's w/ 3 bands, and just touring thru here regularly. Dallas tomorrow ALSO w/ an all night drive to follow. Relax day in Las Cruces (thanks dad) then Phoenix, LA, SF all night drive, HOME. Lots o' good friends here. Gonna do my best to have some fun, if it's ok with you.

Tie Rods
Been up since 7am. Killing time, didn't get out of Cinci. Slept in the Firestone parking lot, waiting for them to open. Now killing time in a bookstore until we can pay $450 to get the van back in road shape and head to St. Louis. Oh the joy of it!

I guess we're in a Cinci suburb that's in Kentucky. I DON'T care. I drove almost 8 hrs in a downpour and could give 2 s-hits about any of these shenanigans. It's still raining and reigning. Our tourmates for the next week are doing their thing.......We did ours and I shouldn't have had that Lee's Fried Chicken. Man alive this biz. Just heard Rudy's down for 4-6 weeks. How am I s'posed to get thru this? I kid, it aint all that bad, but man if u knew the kind of crap you have to sit thru/ put up with, many of you know. I dunno maybe it's the midwest, or bands 18-22 or something but my lord, I just think about my grandfather, the only one that I knew, and what he went through in his life, and where he ended up. It helps because he had a crazy life. I don't know the half of it, but in brief, he was shot down in the Korean War, and stranded on an island. Never talked about it, was gruff but also a lot of fun. This is nothing, but I feel like him sometimes w/the agitation I feel from time to time, and this trip has made me a man. Thinking about you Bob here in whateversville, Whatever. I love you, and I'm havin' a scotch on the rocks for ya.

DAY 61, Memphis
Night off last night, Jessica Jones rules, put us up in her new house, and escorted us to see Bill Callahan last night. He played at the Hi Tone, where we will be playing tonight. It was a nice mellow evening and an interesting all around show. The opener, as well as BC's drummer, was Neal Morgan. Just drums and voice. Something close to my heart, and something I've only attempted maybe twice. Was cool, and surprise, lives in Portland, in my neighborhood, and works at the drum shop next door to TIGA. I tell ya this small world of ours. Was nice to meet and talk drums for a bit. I was way too tired to be any more social than I was, which was barely breathin'. The middle band, Lights, was interesting in that throughout the set I would observe: Oh cool, then ooh k maybe not, then alright, oh wait, nope they can't play, oh, they CAN play, hmm. Again, wish I had just a tad more energy to have talked to them as well, I mean they are an all girl band. Callahan was great, nice dance moves, looking fit, and sounded great. I also have to admit that I was comforted by the size of the crowd. There were as many (or I should say as little) folks in attendance as when we were last here with the Thermals, and I think less people than when I was there with Grails. Tonight, big Monday, might not fare so well, but at least we'll be in good company. However, our show is FREE and w/ 2 locals including Jessica. Should be fun. Just straight killing time today. Because it's monday, everything cool is closed. No Stax museum. No best BBQ joint in Memphis up the street. Time is not on my side as far as trying NOT to think about just wanting to get home. One positive factor is after yesterday, only ONE more day off this tour. And after tonight we join the Rural Alberta Advantage. A band I know little about, but they're Canadian (usually meaning nice, though Wayne Coyne might object) and our mates for the next 8 or 9 days. It definitely helps to have familiar faces each day, and folks to help shoulder the brunt of a grinding December tour. So, yea, umm how are things with you? Oh yea? Huh cool, well hope to see you soon then. Ok. yup. uh huh. Bye bye.

Keepin On
So, we're in Atlanta right now. We all slept in the van last night at a rest stop. We haven't done that in so long it was almost fun. Played Charlotte to a capacity crowd of not many. Place was a dump but the staff was nice and played big screen Wii. Played just 8 songs but killed it and played Harry Nillsson's "Jump Into The Fire" for the first time, and it went off pretty well. Baltimore fell into a similar category as far as stage intensity. Played in a restaurant, was ok but we got outta there as quickly as we could. Really we are just trying to take it as easy as we can just trying to stay healthy and sane to get home by the 17th. Tonight is our last night playing w/ DC band US Royalty. I have no idea what to expect. It is a saturday, but shows haven't been particularly well attended since we've been back in the states. People must be saving their Xmas money. I don't really care too much. Of course I'd love a great show or 10, but I just want to get home. We have a day off to get to Memphis tomorrow. definately hitting the Stax museum on Monday, if it's open (please). We missed it last time w/ The Thermals and they rubbed in our faces how great it is.
Don't know exactly what to expect upon return home except, max chilling, cat petting, buddy catching up-ing and putting together a new plan of attack for the new year. And I'm in the market for a guitar. AAAaaaaaaalright...exhale.

Well, back at it US style. Pretty fun night at the newish Knitting Factory Bklyn. Quite the improvement on our last time there at CMJ where we played for single digits. Earlier in the day had a random Barnhill encounter, lunch in Little Italy, then of course some shoppin'. Bro'd down w/the Tim P and talked Joggers, and of course got nowhere but frustrated. Was nice to play on my own gear again, even though it needs some serious repairing. Another night at Josh's, who opened the show last night splendidly. I love his jams. We're off to Baltimore tonight. Should be interesting, to say the least. At this point, each mile just gets us closer to home. Looks like a nice day here and we don't have to be in Baltimore til 9:30 so I better get after it........

Utrecht, Haarlem Euro Finale
Man oh man Holland is saweeeeeeeet. Last night we had some serious fun ramblin around town after the show with dudes from Deertick and Dead Confederate. Met some cool Dutch folks and got all into it over cultural norms and differences and whatnots. Bar hoppin. Deertick call everyone and each other Mark. Dead Confederates Norwegian driver is a hoot. I cannot imagine how we would have fared here had he been our driver. A completely different experience for sure, we followed him for quite some time to find a particular bar, then he just gave up. With a little help we found it. Today Mayhaw, Johannes and I hit Utrecht hard. I actually spent money on things that weren't food, bills or gear related for the first time this whole trip. It was worth it and no, it wasn't red light district, or "coffee shop" related. So now, we wait, wait for one last free dinner, one last go at the Premier's and the Vox amps. One last shower and free breakfast at the free accomodation and off to Paris. Then, well then it's still not over of course. But at least i'll know what everyone is saying, until Alabama.

Road to Recovery
Ok Poznan,Poland, Prague, and Koln all in the books. Good shows. I felt halfway decent for exactly one of them. In Utrecht NL. early should be fun w/ Cave Singers and Deertick. Thanks to some good road remedy advice I'm on the mend and almost back to party mode to enjoy our last 2 shows here. Alright more later, Happy Thanksgiving, honestly most of the day we forgot about it, and coincidentally, we didn't even have a proper dinner last night, just Ginger lemon tea, and a deli platter. Photos and tales to follow...........

This city seems pretty great, we got here last night. Unfortunately though I am sick. It's been building off and on for about a week, and last night the Dam broke. Coincidentally, last year at this exact time, I was also sick, though on the last day of tour. Hmm. We open for Damien Jurado tonight. We are staying at a Hostel for 2 nights, then head to Poland tomorrow. I hate being sick, but hate it more on tour. This blows.
Oh and this photo I saw on New York Times online today:

Norway, Jose!
Bergen was a blast zone. Fun. Played to a good crowd, a girl came up in the middle of the set and kissed Nick fraunch style (kristie was upstairs). Partied w/some new pals, and Jeff (surrounded by ladies) and I went to a cool kids bar after called Vamoose, and then while we were crushing the scene "Whales Sing" started blasting from the bar's speakers. Long drive today in rough conditions. Done playing in Oslo. Was ok, but had to make way for the big friday night dance party. Loadin out, gotta go. Stockholm Sweetnin' tomorrow. Much needed shower and R&R in 15 min.
Later Days

Rewind, Berlin, Hamburg, Aalborg
Berlin was funny. The soundguy got WASTED and was hilarious, grabbing bottles of booze from behind the bar and trying to get people to do shots with him, then busting into a loud cackle. The crowd was very subdued, but appreciative. They respectfully objected our requests to get closer to the stage. We got to bro-down with Nikita, our Euro booker, had a delicious vegan supper (yea I know) and got to see A LITTLE bit of the city the next day.
Hamburg: Thought I was going to hang out with Wilson, but he fled back to the States, and honestly I can't blame him. Kind of a hectic load in, low ceilings in the parking garage. Across the street was a slew of carnival rides. I met a girl named Hannah, and after we went and rode the Ice Bahn right before they closed the carny down. The woman running the ride was determined to make one of us vomit, or at least for me to lose my hat. Neither happened. Johannes had the great task of getting our rear window replaced the next morning at 8am. I, ... slept in.
Aalborg, was nice but honestly I laid low and after the show was shivering w/ a fever. On the road to recovery after a day off yesterday. By day off I mean leaving at 10 am driving ALL DAY, which included 3 ferries, then trying to find a hotel or hostel in a town 3hrs from Bergen, where we are now. Failing miserably, then ending up just driving to Bergen, arriving at 3:20 am, and luckily the venue we are playing tonight was still inhabited by some staff who graciously allowed us to spend the night in the upstairs band apartment we were to stay in TONIGHT.
I slept all day, the sun goes down here at like 3. Soundchecked at 5, did an interview at the college station, just had a great Tai supper, and now we wait. I'm determined to have as much fun as possible the rest of the trip, while getting healthy again as well. But there are moments when all I want to do is get home. There is still such a long way to go. And then...the U.S. as well. Oslo tomorrow then Stockholm. Then another expensive day off, then............................

Freiburg, Berlin
Holy Crap. So we sold out a show, it was only a hundred people at the Swamp in Freibug but, still.....Crazy! TANNING opened the show too but I barely remember it ,and it wasn't really necessary. In Berlin now. Had a subdued (by comparison) show here last night. In our booker Nikita's office about to head for Hamburg. We had our rear window smashed last night in the Garage where we parked. They didn't take anything though luckily. Will give details soon.

Swiss Style
In Luzerne, sweet club with the accomodations upstairs from the venue, attatched with an espresso machine, fridge, washer/ dryer full bath etc. Earlier today we drove all around Basel trying to find a place to do laundry (they don't exist here). Well, Jackpot! Shows have all been great. This is the most headlining I've ever done, ie: Long sets, and encores. Weird to think that is such a rarity for as long as I been doin this dang thing. It's also a little weird to be THAT BAND that is having the kinda long soundcheck while the staff is kinda lookin at u and the openers are probably thinking "Geez, prima donnas, sounds fine." But I'll take it. We reach the halfway point of this Euro leg in a couple of days. In that time I'll get to hang out with Wilson(!) and meet Nikita, our booker, for the first time. There have been some rough patches, and they'll be more I'm sure. But for this moment it's nice.
Last night in Munchenstein, near Basel, the place was cool. a semi collective of 4 guys who built the bar/club themselves. They all do construction stuff during the day, and then do the bar for fun at night. Later after we played and some loosening, I met these two folks, one of which worked across the alley in this huge Art studio that focuses on making large Art for artists, in all metals, glass you name it.They took me over. This place was huge. Serious equipment and kilns. Was cool to see and made me think, for a minute anyway about if I had stayed on the art path. But it was frustrating too. These 'artists' just come up with an idea and then this team of guys and gals ACTUALLY make it and really don't get any credit. I know thats the name of the game, but I also know that a certain percentage of these artists are self absorbed douches that probably, when pressed couldn't make a damn thing on their own. Anyway, some of the things they had just finished will be showing in NY when we get back there on Dec 2nd. it would be cool to take it full circle and check it out. A rare opportunity, though I'm guessing I'll be severely jet lagged.
Off to a fine cooked meal. Ciao!

Slovenia, Innsbruck, and Basel
Halo from Switzerland. I explained the venue in Slovenia in the last post. the show was great. Played long, and they demanded an encore. Was great met some great folks and learned as much as I could about their relatively new country.
Last night we stopped at Johannes cousins stately country home in Germany near both Italy and Austria's borders. He just so happened to be Princes engineer through the mid to late 90's and 00's. Or as most call them, the glyph years. Asked as many questions as I could without embarrassing myself. He also assisted that hit LIVE (the band) album, big surprise, they're pricks! The greatest part was he gave us maybe 50 or more episodes of Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour. Amazing. haven't stopped listening to them yet. If you haven't checked it yourself it's a must especially if you AREN'T a Dylan fan. None of his music, but amazing forgotten or thru the cracks artist and history lessons and plenty of humor.
The Alps are devastatingly amazing and we've been literally through and around them for the last coupla days. Had fun after the show last night. we signed the door of the place we stayed last night where tons of other bands have been put up. I signed right under 31 Knots from 2006! I slept where JAY WINEBRENNER probably wet the bed!
Basel Switzerland tonight. Cool place, things are well. We'll keep that up. Not quite to the halfway point but we're getting there. As great as it is I can't wait to get home and do nothing for as long as I possibly can............................................................fun fact: this is only the 22nd post of JUST THIS TOUR. heh heh hahahahahahahaha heh heh heh ugh

Munich, Vienna
Cooooool club in Munich. We had fun and played a great show though the turnout was affected by an apparent suicide on the rail system that shut down the trains for the night. Was still good, some Portland student transplants and some others made it fun. Vienna was by far the highlight for me. A Monday, a crazy packed awesome club under the rail line. And a great night talking (while looking up) to a striking blonde Norwegian architecture student. Big fan of the European goodbye now. Learned some staggering history about Jewish history in Vienna, what everyone knows about what really happened but haven't owned up to publicly. Their 9/11, which was on Nov 9th.
On the way passed an Oskar Kokoschka exhibition, perhaps in his home town. But it was 2hrs away. Bummed, though even if it was in Vienna I wouldn't have been able to catch it as we don't have too much time for those types of thing. There was a Munch exhibition in Vienna that I couldn't get to as well. I wish we could've spent more time there.
We are in Slovenia playing a wild place, formerly an Army barracks in Yugoslavian days, then taken over as an underground/progressive/arts squat. They've kept it going over the years, in the beginning had to steal power from across the street and/or car batteries. Now fully functioning as a compound with multiple clubs, covered in graffiti and odd murals. The vibe dial was set to 'party' long before we arrived. Curious about the turnout, just like every night I guess. But tonight is another test of the lengthy, sweet soundcheck syndrome. In our experience that usually results in a poorly attended show. But what do I know?
Innsbruck tomorrow, back to Austria.

We were supremely late to Offenbach last night but had a fun night. Played with Baltimore band Thank You. They were great, could totally tour w/The Planet The as a sick one two punch. Had an adventure trying to find the hostel we were all staying at together. Oh and the German techno dance party, how could I forget?! Thank You's driver/lights man also dj's 80's jams at low speeds so Madonna sounds like Rick Astley, and George Michael like Sade.
Now in Munich. Got here with enough time to walk around and luckily we are playing a really cool club and it's right in the middle of everything. Even though it's Sunday a bunch of people were out and about window shopping at all the closed stores and boutiques. Time to kill now. I doubt anyone will come, it's Sunday, no other bands are playing, the club is really cool and they fed us awesomely. Sure sign it's gonna be empty but spirits have improved since the UK.
My post was going to be something else entirely, luckily things have turned up a bit. One of these days though it's gonna get ugly on here. I'm doing everything in my power to stay positive. I've wanted to be here for so long, and all I want to do is have a good time and take in as much as I can. Unfortunately there have been some set backs that I just can't ignore. I absolutely went OFF in my journal in the van after reading about TEAMWORK in the Bill Simmons Basketball book that my dad gave me before this leg. Thanks again dad. They have been saving me. There really is a close connection to being in a band and a member of a team, especially teams at the highest level. I'll save it for later. If things don't change by the time we get through this brutal tour I'll be on to better things. I'm being taken advantage of and it's being waved in my face daily. The beauty of it is there is no room for any negotiation or discussion for risk of appearing confrontational. Today it became clear that my current situation mirrors my moving westward 10/11 years ago. The question is how will it be remedied this time around?

hello from London soundcheck.I really like the UK but the shows aint been that great. Think that'll change once we get outta here tomorrow. Maybe we'll leave w/ a bang tonight. Let's hope so. At least I've got all day today to check out the city and hopefully buy some shoes. Mine have holes in them, need some for real, not just for my fetish I swear. More in a bot. Cheer i- o

Manchesterrrrrr, Glasgow
Manchester was hectic. Had a great time playing on Mark Rileys show for BBC 6 and got to see Daniel Johnston play a couple as well. Then we were off to our proper show at the Ruby Lounge. Looked great at first, but by the time we played the place was deserted. tried to tough it out, we played ok, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't bum me out a bunch. After such an exhausting day of double load ins and triple soundchecks, a fun show would have topped it off nicely. No such luck. Rainy drive to Glasgow, but I think we saw SIX rainbows. I swear I will post some photos soon. I swear. Great tunes being played here, hope that translates to a fun show later. After 2 nite 2 more UK's then back to Europe thanks gawd. I really like it here but it's a tough go for first timers.

Beautiful start to the day in Brighton. Sun drenched hills of English countryside and great ocean view. Great breakfast and hangout with Shaun the promoter. Many mutual friends and acquaintances and taste in music. I forgot to mention that last night someone complimented my sweater by saying "great jumper mate!" Anyway.....
Drove thru Slough home of the Original "The Office". Didn't have time for Stonehenge.
Cardiff is cool, huge old castle in the middle of the city, right across from where we played.
Show was meh on all counts. Venue was great and the promoters were great and are putting us up. But the turnout was just ok (still really good for us) and our vibe/energy was sub-monday at best.
But I'll take that in a place like this anytime. Tomorrow is going to be nuts so I'll lay it out now as there will be little time then. Load in to the club, then immediately load in to BBC studio to do a soundcheck for our performance for Marc Riley from the Fall for his show on BBC 6. THEN back to the club 4 soundcheck, then back to BBC to PLAY the radio show then BACK to the club for the actual show. Wont be doing any shopping in Manchester!
Night night.

My Lord,
So rad, so awesome. Little pub place in such a quaint city that we'll hopefully explore more tomorrow. Shaun an amazing dude whom we are staying with right now is on the scene and the best. The crowd ruled and apologized for the turnout...???What>>???? Was great we've never been here what are u talking about? It was pretty full and encored again. Played "Summers Life" which I don't know but we did it any way.
Came in on the ferry into Dover. I kept humming a combination of "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson, and Blur's "Clover Over Dover". Great time. Still having it, more later. Wales tomorrow, I love the UK. Seriously, ladies come on out, let's meet. Make me your green card hubby and let's get a flat and live the royal dream...........

We made it! No one slept on the plane. I tried but ended up watching Whatever Works, The Hangover, and I Love You Man. Johannes, our driver and sound guy absolutely rules, and we've only known each other a day and a 1/2. He has started to hijack the Shakyblog too. Walked around Paris yesterday, and stayed w/Mayhaws cousin who lives in a studio the size of a shoebox. The seven of us, Nick's wife Kristie is with us, and a friend of his that was visiting, somehow all slept there. I wish we got a photo, it was kinda like a clown car scenario. That night Jeff and I got lost trying to get back to said apartment from Johannes place. It was fun though and we kept laughing because none of us has a working phone, and we kept back tracking but ending up not where we intended.
We loaded in and just sound checked. My drums kinda rule. Old Premiers, Keith Moon's drum of choice. They look and sound amazing. We get our own beds tonight, the thought of that got us through last night, and the fact that we were exhausted. I think I slept 13 hours, though not soundly. I have only a few photos so far. I'll try and get them up soon. It's Halloween, but you wouldn't know it. Maybe people will be in costume tonight? We'll be dressed as clueless Americans of course.
Yesterday we all sat at a cafe next to Johannes' awesome apartment and I ordered an Americano. What they gave me looked like Iced Tea, but instead was a very strong drink made with Compari. I drank it anyway of course, and it was hilarious. The first of many snafu's coming in the next month.
Another stupid thing we find ourselves doing is speaking English with a Horrible french accent when we don't know how to say something, which IS ALL THE TIME. Other than merci, and bon jour I'm clueless. And ,when pressed, I forget those too. Funny stuff.

Hazy Daze
(Wilsons new slide technique, somewhere in Europe, see u soon buddy!)
In Charlottesville VA at the venue, which is basically a middle eastern themed coffee shop, but only serves tea. Apparently they only have Beirut albums as well. Oh well. Took a Vicodin 2day cuz i tweaked my back/neck during the first song last night. And I was hungover from the old last night of tour ritual w/Pomegranetes and Headlights. Needless to say I feel WEIRD. And the tinge in my back is not really any better, oh and I put way too much Tiger Balm on it and I smell like a post game press conference. So don't expect much UVA. A coupla days of R&R are just what I need before Plane'n it to Paris.

Wrap up/Catch up
Hello from Chapel Hill NC and the last of our nights with the Pomegranates,and Headlights. Philly was a blast despite the monsoon like downpours which kept many of the bike riding Phillyites at home. But we were able to discover the amazingness that is Sand. And after listening to the whole album twice and researching them, we thought they were from Germany at first. Then we find out they are from PORTLAND! Two members later went on to be in Quarterflash, but I'm putting them at #1 with a bullet on the list of best Portland bands past or present. There I said it. Thanks Nate! He bought the record in Portland, maybe at Crossroads, and I am eternally grateful for it. We will now begin further archiving for our Soft Nuggets Series, look for it from Rhino soon.
DC was a pretty great show, well attended and we played great. DC never fails for interesting conversations with very educated and quirky strangers. You'll have to wait til my memoir "ROAD DOG" Confessions of a Beat Snake comes out next year for more.
Tomorrow, our last US gig before Europe in Charlottesville VA then off to Paris. To say I can't wait would be an understatement. Look for me during Blazers games in the "Where In The World" segment. I'll be the dude in the Blazers satin Starter Jacket and Sabonis jersey standing by the Eiffel Tower.
Stay tuned it's gonna get Kway-Zay!!

Leave for Philly in a minute. Played an acoustic apartment thing yesterday morning for Baeble music was cool despite the early rise. Filmed and should be up in December. Then played for single digits at the Knitting Factory and played on terrible sounding backline drums. But, had a great night with good buddies Josh Nick Matt and Alexis. Mexican, beers and some ill advised Texas Hold Em. The Introspection Tour rolls on. Change is a comin on my eventual return home to Portland, still seemingly forever from now. Off to see more good friends, Sue and Nate, and then more fam in the DC area. Europe is coming, so close now.

It's Official b/w The Truth about Do What You Love
It's Official: Go Phillies. Unless The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim get their collective shit together in a major way and the Umps do likewise we're lookin at a Phillies Yanks Series. We will probably miss a great deal of it in Europe. That is sad.
Now on to the notion of doing what you love, and how pure and amazing and awesome that is. B.S. Plain and simple. Yea I do what I love, or more simply what I do best, for a "living" (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah) yea right. But, there is as much stress, drama, whatever you want to categorize it as as any profession, if not more. You've got ego's, fragile psyche's, self doubt, loneliness, exhaustion, oh and dare I mention financial implications or lackthereof. I know I'm not saying anything new, but it's day to day like everything else. having a child or 2 or 3. Managing a company or crew, or marriage, or team,or students in your classroom. Yea there's more booze, but not always. Everyone has Mondays and Saturdays. And everyone has to look in the mirror and question their happiness, and if what they are doing is what's in their heart as true and pure. And when you get to a certain point it's hard to know what that even means to yourself and the universe. And if it means anything, or if it's just a way to get from day to day. Or if purity exists in a way that is realistically attainable. Things are fine, things are good and we have a long way to go. let's just be honest about ourselves and our place in this world.

Swingers, Flop Houses, and Half-Pipes
Setting up the merch in Chicago and I notice a couple making out, but I'm not offended by it. I remember thinking to myself," That's sweet". I head in to the main room and when I get back I notice the same girl now kissing another girl, and a little longer than just a friends kiss. Next thing you know the three of them are involved in a full on 3 way make out sesh. The group of onlookers in growing as it's hard to ignore. This continues for a while.
I go about my daily tour business and notice this is continuing. Only now, a husky built guy in tight indie pants and sweater has approached the girl girl guy triad. He begins nudging one of the girls, but remaining at arms length. I think he may have come to the show with this girl, and feel bad for him as it looks like they won't be leaving together now. He doesn't gain or attempt eye contact though and the threesome continue going for it, vigorously. He remains at his awkward arms length post.
It is at this time that I notice the group gathered on the couch next to all of this. It is then that I realize we got ourselves a group of swingers. They are all cuddling on the couch, in no way putting on a show as the others but observing in a way that they are the elders and seeing their new recruit handle this public display. This goes on throughout the night. I don't know what the cover was, at least 10 bucks, and the whole lot of them never left the couch pool table area, or set foot in the main room where the bands played. I still feel bad for the awkward guy, even if he knew what he was in for, he did not look comfortable.
Pontiac MI was the next stop. We were late, but arrived to a very nice club. Great sound and facilities and very hospitable folks. Played fine despite leaving my cowbell behind in Chicago. An employee of the club, off on this night offers us a place to stay blocks from the club. A younger sweet couple offer us a place as well but it's a half hour away in Detroit. We go with the closer option, and pay the price. We arrive at a big house and all seems fine. We walk in to what looks like a squat. Nothing anywhere except 2 loveseats and a couch in a little corner room. The place is littered w/ cigarette butts, beer caps and broken glass, and an odor to match. We sit on the couches, the only place to sit, and are then ambushed by a screaming horde of inebriated bros. As we sit there draped in our sleeping bags, road weary and obviously looking to just crash out, we are offered a sip from a half full plastic vodka bottle, cigarettes are lit up and we all look at each other wide eyed, silenty saying..."let's get out of here". Half of us stay in the van. Nick and I stick it out and by 9:30am we are on the road outta there......

College Tour Continues
Last night Columbia Mizzu. "Daddy,the Tiger Store!" Nice folks there, and our last headlining slot for a while and honestly, that's a relief. Tonight we play w/ fellow Portlanders (although in a higher tax bracket) Blitzen Trapper on the campus here in Urbana IL, or Champagne Champagne as I keep saying, I'll stop...maybe. Then we start our leg of the tour as the meat of Headlights, Pomegranates sandwich kicking off at the lovely Empty Bottle. The BTrappers are on like week 7 of their tour, which is nice to see they are in one piece as we just completed week one of a tour that will last until Dec 16th. Almost finished Gene Wilder's autobiography, and it is keeping me sane, not just for tour but in life. Recommended, Viva Skip Donahue! Okey doke, last night of the Travis Lehman Hotel Hookup Fun Run. Soaking it up best we can catching some baseball and having the cleaning staff shuffling us out as late as possible. Look out ladies of Illin' Oy!

SLC/Denver/ Lawrence
Cool day/night off in Denver. Watched the Broncos (not a fan) beat the Pats( Really not a fan) in OT in a bar w/ everyone goin nuts. Then that night we all laid in the dark and listened to the amazing Rockies Phillies game...on the radio! My fave. Was nice, especially when the fans were chanting Rocktober!
In Lawrence, you know, I mean, bought great shoes and masks here, but how many actually good shows? Remains to be seen tonight. Dr. Dog is again in town and AGAIN grabbing any and all Monday night music lovers in the process I assume but, you know, stick to the motto: Assume the worst, hope for the best. Off to somewhere new tomorrow, thats somethin......

Playoff Baseball, since 2002, is synonymous with touring. Right now, as Cliff Lee finishes his game one complete game victory, I am packing, and normally would be finishing Tshirts last minute. Everyday for the next few weeks we'll be racing to get to the venue or a nearby sportsbar to catch as much of the games as we can. The Joggers 03 tour highlights revolve around the MLB playoffs. we raced through our set opening for Neil Hamburger in Moorehead MN so we could get back to catch the RedSox/Yankees game 7, now in extra innings. And as soon as we got our gear off stage, and the two pitchers of beer...Aaron F'n Boone.
Then later in NY for the Yankees losing to the Marlins, and me heckling Yankees fans, and cowardly hiding behind a doorman. Later of course we were chased in to a cab by a mob of dejected Yankee fans. In 2004 when the Red Sox finally reversed the curse, we were on a day off in Denver. We witnessed an historical event only to be overshadowed by Bronson Arroyo's hideous blonde cornrows:
In 2002, Anaheim over the Giants, we were OPENING for open mic in Cortland NY. The last day of this past Shaky Hands tour we caught a sweet Giants Cards game in SF,whetting our appetite for the fall season. There is a small chance of getting to hit game 3 of the Rockies Phillies series in Denver. At the very least we'll feel the energy of watching it on TV blocks from Coors Field.
As we depart on a nearly three month jaunt, I wouldn't want it any other way. this year I'm still waiting to see who I am gonna get behind this fall. Jeff bleeds Phillies Red. I have to admit, now that the Red Sox have "gotten theirs" it's hard to root for them with that same intensity as you do for the underdog. I definitely have a tinge of Twin's Fever, and am rooting as hard for the Metrodome. But mostly I'm just going to enjoy the moments. Adios!

Happy Friday :)
Food Trucks!
I couldn't think of a better way to spend a warm night in Broadripple other than sitting on a curb eating from the food trucks! Ever since Kalyn & I have moved to Indianapolis we have talked about checking out the food trucks that they have occasionally downtown or in Broadripple. We finally caught up with the Mac Genie, gourmet Macaroni and Cheese truck and ordered the original Genie Mac with sour cream, bacon, and tons of cheese!
After trying out the Mac Genie food truck we went to Fire on the Monon for some drinks and appetizers.
(Buddah Blossom = champagne + pear vodka)
Top 5 Easter Essentials.
1.) Easter Table settings
2.) Colored Easter Eggs
3.) Pastel colored Easter attire
4.) Easter Basket filled with all of your favorite things
5.) Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs
Last Weekend.
Over the weekend, I enjoyed Saturday with a visit from my family! We spent the afternoon together in Broadripple checking out the boutiques and stopping for appetizers and drinks at Chumley's Bar and Grill.
(made homemade chicken alfredo pizza for lunch on Saturday)
(Dad & Robbie at Chumley's during our afternoon in Broadripple)
(Mom & I having a mid day beverage)
(We spent Saturday evening at Champs Bar and Grill for some dinner and cheering on the last four teams remaining in the Final Four Basketball games)
(We ended the evening listening to a band and sipping on a pitcher of Blue Moon at Moon Dogs Tavern)
Closet: Must Have!
Friday Night.
This Friday Kalyn and I decided to take ourselves out to visit a place new to us, Bub's Burgers and Ice Cream in Carmel, Indiana. It's located in the heart of downtown Carmel, right along the Monon Trail. It was on Man VS. Food because of it's 22 ounce Ugly Burger!
Two people were on the wall for actually eating four of the Ugly Burgers!
& ended our night watching Hunger Games!

"Come to Me, all of you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
"Nothing is as important as to keep right spiritually. The great solution is the simple one – come to Me. The depth of our reality, intellectually, morally and spiritually, is tested by these words. In every degree in which we are not real, we will dispute rather than come."
(Oswald Chambers)
It's the end of the school year. Parents and students alike are weary! In a few days I plan to post an article about including purpose into the "lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer," but today I wish to share with you a poem, authored by Desiree Steele that she recently posted on Face book. It uplifted and encouraged me and I pray it will do the same for you. Thank you Desiree, for allowing the Lord to speak through you!
If you are waiting to see if I will mess up, well I have.
If you are looking to see if I will lose my joy, well I have.
If you are waiting to see if I will get weary, well I have.
If you are looking to see if I will gossip, well I have.
If you are waiting to see if I will give into sin, well I have.
If you are waiting to see if this Christian life is for real, well it is because…
My mess ups have become my step ups.
My loss of joy has become my reminder that I know where my joy comes from.
My weariness has become my sense of strength that comes from the Father.
My flapping tongue has become tamed by the Holy Spirit.
My sin has become a marker to God's grace and mercy.
My Jesus is real and if you don't know Him, He wants to become real to you today.

Understanding Addiction Treatment Program Lengths
There isn't one simple answer to the question, "How long do recovery programs take?" Most rehab programs range from 28 days to 90 days, depending on your needs and what you want from your treatment program. However, rehab programs vary greatly and you can find shorter and longer stays, as well as both outpatient treatment programs and inpatient residential treatment programs.
How Long Are Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs?
Any Treatment is a Positive Step
While participation in treatment programs for 90 days or longer typically means higher success rates, treatment of any length is a positive step.
Assessment by an addiction treatment professional should be your guidepost for treatment duration.
If you are ready to take that step, call 1-888-319-2606 Who Answers? to discuss treatment options.
Different facilities offer programs of different lengths, because different people need different remedies. Rehab treatment program lengths include, but are not limited to, the following time spans:
- 28-30 days.
- 60 days.
- 90 days.
- Long-term recovery (90-120 days and beyond).
The severity of your addiction may guide you into the right program length for you. However, consider that lengthier programs are generally associated with higher rates of success.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), outcomes for residential or outpatient treatment programs are more successful when an individual participates for 90 days or more. NIDA recommends even longer-term treatment to maintain sobriety. Treatment of any length is a positive step in the right direction. Assessment by an addiction treatment professional should ultimately be your guidepost for your desired treatment length.
What Will Addiction Treatment Include?
Regardless of the length of your addiction treatment program, the first steps are generally the same.
Program Intake.
First, you'll be admitted to the program and given an assessment. The staff at the treatment facility will:
- Take down your medical history.
- Evaluate the nature and severity of your addiction, as well as your mental state.
- Recommend an appropriate treatment plan for you.
Detox may take between 3 and 14 days, and is widely variable based on abused substance type.
- The length of time that it takes your body to detox can affect the length of time for addiction treatment that you need.
- A period of medically supervised detox is strongly indicated in cases of alcohol, benzodiazepine and barbiturate abuse, as dangerous withdrawal symptoms may occur when substances of these types are abruptly discontinued.
- NOTE: Supervised detox is typically available through inpatient treatment programs.
Depending on your program, additional treatment steps may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
- Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT), or pharmacotherapy, can be especially important in instances of co-occurring behavioral health or mental health conditions or in treatment of substances with tenacious withdrawal/craving profiles.
- Regularly scheduled counseling or therapy sessions – both individual and group counseling.
- Family counseling – wherein family members become active participants in your recovery.
- Mental health services
- Medical care, when needed.
- Participation in 12-step recovery groups, such as AA.
- Career development training.
- Adult education classes.
- Skills training, e.g., financial management.
- Relapse prevention techniques training.
- Treatment of co-occurring disorders, such as eating disorders and/or depression.
- Discharge planning and aftercare planning.
Which Treatment Programs Are the Most Successful?
Both the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advise that people who wish to have a successful recovery should enroll in a program that is at least 90 days in length.
In fact, the CDC cites drug treatment program lengths as one of the most important indicators of whether or not a substance abuse rehab and recovery program will be successful.
NIDA explains that addiction is a disease that has many effects and actually changes the way the brain works. For example, drug abuse affects:
- The parts of the brain that relate to feelings of reward and motivation.
- The part of the brain integral to learning and memory.
- The region of the brain that is responsible for controlling behavior.
Because so many parts of the brain are involved with addiction, it is important to devote a large amount of time to rehab and recovery.
Often, the answer to the question "How long do recovery programs take?" is 90 days. However, some programs may last 18 months or even longer. Many people need long-term recovery programs to help them retrain their brains and beat their addictions.
Essential Components of Good Treatment
Amongst other recommendations, the CDC notes that drug rehab should incorporate the following to be successful:
- Treatment of recovery as a long-term process that involves a variety of approaches.
- Consideration of physical or mental health issues that may be occurring in conjunction with the addiction.
- Tailoring of drug treatment programs to individual patients.
- Ongoing reassessment of treatment procedures to ensure they are productive.
Treatment programs of longer durations have more time to incorporate a variety of treatment approaches and tailor them to the individual. This, in turn, leads to more successful outcomes.
Which Drug Treatment Program Is Best for Me?
The severity of your substance use disorder should help you determine the type of rehab and the time of the program.
However, remember that the longer your program the more likely to is to incorporate many of the features listed above, like adult education, skills training, and family counseling. The more comprehensive your care, the more likely you are to maintain your sobriety.
The reality is, drug use and addiction is complicated. Some people may claim that it is just about saying "no" or about having better self-control. However, most people need a drug addiction treatment program to help them stop using.
Knowing the type of help you want and need will help you pick the right program. For example, you might pick an inpatient program if you know you'll be unable to stop using with the temptations of your current environment.

What Happens Once I Finish Rehab?
The process of recovering from addiction is lifelong.
You are never "done recovering." For example, you don't leave a 90-day program and leave your efforts behind. You will need ongoing support to maintain sobriety. This support may come in the form of:
- Continued participation in 12-step programs or other ongoing, structured support program.
- A sponsor.
- Transfer to a "halfway house" or other sober-living facility.
- Additional treatment, when needed.
- Regularly scheduled follow-up therapy.
Make sure you discuss aftercare with your treatment provider you choose, so that you understand how to continue your efforts and stay sober in the long-term.
