BEDFORD TOWNSHIP (AP)-- Southeastern Michigan authorities are closing an investigation of an 18-year-old woman's claim she was abducted along a road and held hostage for 16 hours, saying it never happened.
The Monroe County sheriff's department says a detective and an FBI agent re-interviewed the woman Sunday and "determined that the incident did not take place."
The department says it's forwarding a report to the county prosecutor's office for review.
The department says the woman earlier reported being abducted after stopping her car when she saw someone lying along a road Thursday night. The site is in Bedford Township, just north of Ohio.
Ecorse police Cpl. Chris Trevino tells the Detroit Free Press that a motorist saw the woman jump from the vehicle in the Detroit suburb Friday afternoon before it sped away.

Dr. Al is not your "smily" kind of Dr. but he is TRULY AMAZING. He has made me the happiest woman. He is incredibly professional and made me feel VERY comfortable at my consultation. I was very nervous to take off my clothes in front of him but he made me so comfortable. He knew exactly what I needed done and what I wanted and didn't make me feel like he was trying to push any extra services on me. He was very knowledgeable and had an answer to all my questions. He came off as very confident and secure in his work but not cocky like some Dr's. I would HIGHLY reccomend Dr. Al for any services you need! I can't wait to pay off my bill so I can go back and have my breast augmentation done!

P&F target is $42 as of this post:http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.pnf?c=dxd,PI think wall of worry may drive market higher, then fundamentals of economy will take market MUCH low,My plan is to wait until $42 target, then load up on DXD. Comments?
by the way still waiting for your trades this week.......anyone can say they bought last week.......what are you buying this week!
actually f-head i sold out my position in the 90's ..... only a fool rides 20 points...bought at 74 and bought 69.50....so only down 2 pointshave fun going through my old posts loser proving my points.....obviously you have to much time on your hands....your posts prove your ignorance!PEACE.....dont get shook out in the 60's!validationhttp://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_T/threadview?m=tm&bn=17914&tid=78226&mid=78243&tof=-1&rt=1&frt=2&off=1
Congratulations your anticipation lost you 20 points last week numb nuts. And all the while you've been trying to convince others on this thread to follow you down the Hershey Highway.I bought DDM last Monday at 30.75 and I don't try to convince others I know what's right for them. That's the way the Democraps live out their sorry existence.
come on smart A$$........you get called out....you enjoy going around dogging people and their trades.....tell the board your winners for the next week or 2 weeks! lets hear you smart A$$.....POS people like you makes making money in this market easy.....always chasing the trade and never in front of it!Always anticipate,,,,,never react!
It would take a lot of good news to get DXD to 42. And right now, the only news coming out is all bad.
Yet the DOW still goes up.. this last week was one of the worst weeks of news in a long time. Much of the news was "priced in" to a certain extent, but all the news pointed to a very serious recession on the horizon. I don't know who is buying stocks right now, but 3 days in a row saw heavy buying for absolutely no reason...
DXD has never been to $42. The closest it got to that was $46, when the Dow was at 14,000. I dont see the Dow going to 14k anytime soon, therefore I dont see DXD going to $42 anytime soon.I think we go to $90 within a week as the Dow trys to retest lows as profit taking sparks a selloff.
Not necessarily. $42 would imply 40% drop for DXD or 20% gain in Dow to 11,000 - very possible in bear market rally. I'm letting the technicals tell me when to buy and sell rather than fundamentals.
I agree, we will be seeing a retest soon.

Burning Desire to Share
"…share their mess rather than the message." Someone's mess might be the saving message to someone else. It was in my case. According to our Preamble we are asked to share our experience, strength and hope and not a message. It's important to be open-minded and allow others the same gift to share their recovery. I never look at someone sharing and think, wow they are a mess. If someone was all together why would they be in these rooms in the first place? Judgment is not a healthy recovery tool but a bi-product of insecurity. What do we expect sitting in a room with a jambalaya of people trying to get sober, flowery poetry? Compassion and tolerance are helpful tools that will direct everyone to a better place. We should not let our political, religious, economic and cultural biases to direct what we think the proper AA should be. The Traditions remind us of the danger in this. As far back as I can remember; there has always been a fundamentalist faction of people in the rooms who try to control this so called "message" Every member has the capacity in them to help another alcohol. What works for me might make another member scratch their head. To me, our personal experiences make all the differences but, I do know the easier softer way is to sit around and take the inventory of other's mess and then lay a big sloppy judgment on them. Thanks
Right on.
A young man at a meeting the other night was sharing for his first time and from the back of the room someone said they didn't want to hear his "mess". Thankfully the young man decided he didn't like that meeting and went to another.I think he has more to offer than anyone who wants to criticize him. Formosa Ontario Canada
I used to think boredom was just something that happened that i had no control over. this program has taught me that boredom is a choice. so i love this post for that.
I hadn't experienced hope on its highest level till i chaired a meeting for the first time in which newcomers were attending. After the meeting they thanked me and told me they didnt know meetings were full of laughter and wisdom that they would definately be back....what a high on hope!
I've recently asked a close friend to sponsor me and am ready to do my 5 th step. I've been attending meetings at his home group and enjoy them but I'm seeing a conflict now in our friendship. Where before we had an equal and easy going relationship, now he's very critical and confrontive.I miss the "friend" I had before I asked him to sponsor me.I think I've made a mistake here and am leaning towards telling him that and doing my 5 th step with another sponsor. Advise is welcome
When you asked your friend to be your sponsor, and he accepted, you both changed the relationship from one of equals to one in which there is an imbalance of power. It's a little bit like agreeing to work for a friend and then realizing that your friend is now your boss and you have to do what he says, or not get paid.
You can thank your friend for getting you this far in your spiritual journey. Explain that you miss having him as a friend, and because he's introduced you to the fellowship, you now know lots of other people who can relieve him of the job of having to be both your friend and your sponsor.
Ask him if he has any advice as to who might make a good next sponsor for you. Then invite him to hang out or go to the movies or something so he knows you don't want to stop being friends. Hopefully you will be able to establish a relationship as equals. You might have to remind him a few times that he's not your sponsor any more. I truly hope you can both make a serene transition into these new roles.
you got the right answer. Chose a different sponsor but be gentle in your explanation to your friend. besides, chances are they feel the same.
You should be able to talk to your friend and sponsor about both issues: his critical approach (as you see it) and whether it's a good idea to do your 5th step with him.
There is no requirement to do a 5th step with one's sponsor; I have known people who are more comfortable doing a 5th step with someone in the clergy or some kind of counselor.
I have a very close friend in AA with whom I have shared lots of things, very intimate things. But we both have decided not to go the sponsorship route with our relationship because we are afraid it would change it -- not in a good way.
I also found the pamphlet "Questions and Answers about Sponsorship" to be very helpful, especially because it shows the wide range of possibilities in sponsorship. There is no one right way.
And whatever you decide, keep coming back. I wrestled with my 5th step for awhile, but I kept talking to people about my concerns and kept going to meetings and not drinking.
I have been sober since January 22, 2007. I've always had an issue when people pick up chips in the room for substances outside of alcohol (and they share it). I had a sponsee for the last two years that suffered from mental illness. She also had an addiction to prescription medication as well as alcohol, so it was a roller coaster ride sponsoring her. Yesterday, she called to tell me that she took an extra pill outside of the three (a benzo) that she was prescribed. She said she was feeling anxious and that she had to take it. I told her that I considered this a relapse because the 4th pill was not part of her prescription. She kept telling me that she did not think it was a relapse since she didn't take 8 at the same time. I had explained would be similar to me taking a drink and saying "Well, it was only one, so it's not technically a relapse." I told her to pick up a chip in another 12 step program and to pick up in AA, but not mention the pill as that was her business, not the room's. Well, she fired me this morning (I had planned on doing the same, regardless, as I felt the message wasn't getting through) Today, I've had a lot of praying to do to just let go. I know now why Bill W. and Dr. Bob made it so clear that as an alcoholic, I cannot help someone that has a problem with substances other than alcohol because I myself have never experienced that. I'm sure they would be chuckling to hear my problem, as they went through the same themselves. Now I am facing a new dilemma which is getting over taking it so personally, (QTIP - Quit Taking It Personally)and not playing God, even though I feel that she is fooling herself and not living an honest program. It is absolutely none of my business! I also am considering never again sponsoring someone whose main problem isn't alcohol, especially because I have no business doing that. I only drank alcohol! This was a tough lesson to learn as my ego told me that I could do it. What I plan on doing is just working my program and finding another sponsee that wants help with her alcoholism. It's so disappointing that my last two pigeons have strayed, but I have been taught to carry the message, not the alcoholic.
I appreciate your honesty and also appreciate your confusion. It seems confusing to me to tell a sponsee to pick up a chip (a "one day" chip I assume you mean) but for them not to say why.
Now on sponsorship and experience: I need not have every experience a sponsee has had to be able to sponsor them, but it's OK, because I don't claim to have any answers at all, just my experience. Rather than draw a line in the sand on an issue like this (where I have no direct experience), I would probably suggest to my sponsee that he or she talk to at least three other sober members of AA (hopefully ones who have had similar histories) and see what they say. That helps my humility (I don't have the answers) and it encourages the sponsee to get more connected to AA.
That's why it's often heard, "Carry the message not the alcoholic." We can only do so much. Very few of us will die sober. A few years ago I sponsored this guy and although he was not drinking, his behavior demonstrated that he was not progressing. His judgment and decisions were not sober and on the decline. After confronting him with my concern he owned up to an outside issue, which was that he could not
stop seeing prostitutes and looking at internet pornography. I recommended another program and let him go. Of course he cursed me and I haven't seen him at a meeting since. Did I do the right thing? I don't know. I'm not a therapist, religious minister, medical doctor or addiction specialist. I'm just another drunk trying to stay sober for one day. I can only share my experience strength and hope. I never pretend to know more than I really do. Very few of us in the rooms will end up with our picture on a cereal box.
IMHO, this is a matter between your former sponsee and her prescribing physician or psychiatrist. I understand your indignation and your conviction that this is an alcoholic slip. It's really up to her doctor to determine whether the additional pill was an overdose, or whether it triggered the addictive pathway in your former sponsee's brain and made her more vulnerable to an alcoholic lapse. Many people in the program are on psychiatric medications. For a lot of us, staying on these medications is our only hope of regulating our brain chemistry so that we may achieve sobriety and live life on life's terms. Your former sponsee was honest with you. Asking her to call her doctor would have been the next indicated step, because you're right: her medical care is absolutely outside of your realm of expertise.
I'm glad others have shared on this topic and it's good to know I'm not alone. I avoided prescription meds too for many years and for many years like others I pretended to be happy in the rooms. I was severely miserable and the cause of it desperately needed to be addressed. AA improved my physical and spiritual health but my mental health was not improving. The anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts I had since childhood still lingered around and would not go away. Through others I could see how AA provided the possibility of a "good life" but that picture of bliss never touched me. Even my first sponsor fought with me when I talked about getting medical help. Eventually I stopped going to meetings. I could not stand to be around happy people and when I was my face was consumed with a blank stare which contrasted the room full of smiles and laughter. As suggested, I got the guide, joined a group, found a higher power and read the literature and books over and over again but, nothing lifted the fog and each year it got worse. I started to hate myself, my job, my wife, and well just about everything and this was after being "sober" for years. The hope of a "peace of mind" gave me an initial burst of enthusiasm when I entered the fellowship but, that hope was fleeting because it never materialized into anything substantial. I was at that jumping off place in sobriety. I knew drinking would not solve one thing so the permanent solution became more of a viable option for handling the problem that felt more than temporary. Eventually, I got a new sponsor who lives in the new sober world and he supported me 100%. After the proper treatment, I have returned to meetings and am starting to feel the joy. The medications haven't turned me into a robot; however I must confess that I am in the closet about talking about them in group. I don't want to be a pharmaceutical crusader and I am still afraid of the unfavorable judgment I may receive although my sponsor encourages be open.
I know there is nothing wrong with taking meds for a depression issue. Seeking help for my depression was one of the best things I ever did for myself. Depression is a medical issue and sometimes needs to be treated with meds. I think it it is best to leave those decisions to take them between you and your doctor. They are the ones qualified to help you make those decisions. Whether or not you want to share this at a meeting is your decision.
I put chips (not AA chips because AA doesn't have them)in the same category as court slips. Someone suffering from alcoholism makes a simple request that is easy for me fulfill, cost's me nothing and makes them happy. Not in anyone's wildest imagination am I attesting to their attendance or length of sobriety. No one can at least for the latter. I remember a fellow who left town drunk and came back from Texas with a two year cigarette lighter he was terribly proud of. Complete strangers walk into our meetings saying that it is their AA anniversary and came in for their coin. Fine, we give them what they ask for. Nice to have a visitor possibly with a fresh view. That's a fair trade for eighty cents worth of aluminum. If someone thirty asks for a fifty year medallion, I'll give it to them. They're nuts, what's arguing with them going to achieve.
Along the same line I can't in good conscience read or listen to "...probably no human power could have relieved our alcoholism..." and then congratulate someone for keeping themself sober. How can anybody?
I like speaker meetings the best. Listening to one or two people talk about their experience, strength, and hope started the process of identification and acceptance which led to a new life for me. On the other hand, I always felt the big book/discussion style meetings were akin to bible study and serve no purpose except to stroke the alcoholic ego, which is what we really should be deflating. In the speaker style settings everyone is an equal but, big book/discussion meetings are full of inequalities. There you will find gurus, experts, and adherents of time status. We should not confuse someone who can speak well in these groups with someone who has quality sobriety. Personally, I don't have the need to impress people with how much I memorized from a book or how many clichés I can spout out in one share. Usually the guiltiest lovers of status are the members who just never seem to say, "Pass" when it comes their turn to talk in group. I sponsor a guy who said he would get a buzz after seeing everyone nod their heads with amazement as he rambled out his nuggets of wisdom ad-nauseam. He especially enjoyed hearing the "oohs" and "aahs" and receiving attention from newcomer women after he shared what he called his "orations of the obvious" After several years of yapping away, he realized this type of AA was merely a spectacle or circus for him and his sobriety was empty. Eventually he joined our group and we see him regularly. I glad he found something that worked for him.
I have my favorite meetings, too. I believe speaker meetings sometimes come very close to violating the twelfth tradition, in that they can elevate personalities above principles, often literally so, as the speaker stands, sometimes on a raised platform. I prefer discussion meetings, especially if the custom is for many people to speak at all stages of life and recovery.
But really, it's just a preference. The best meetings for me are the ones I go to. I can find newcomers at all types of meetings, and that's really the point, isn't it? I'm not going to a meeting to hear a message, I'm there to be of service. So what I think of a speaker or a format is really not that important.
One time I heard a chronic relapser say he drank because he was only going to book study meetings, and vow to only attend discussion meetings from then on. I guess the discussion meetings didn't help, because he continued to relapse. IMHO, it's not the format of the meetings that matter, it's the maintenance of one's spiritual condition. It's tempting to say that the people who talk all the time do not have a deep inner life, and the introverts have all the wisdom. Maybe it's true. And maybe it's not.
Big book page 181 "if you think you are an atheist, an agnostic, a skeptic, or have any other form of intellectual pride which keeps you from accepting what is in this book, I feel sorry for you" AA co founder Dr. BOB S.
I'm positive Dr. Bob regrets writing that because we know its not true. The God of my understanding gave me a brain and not a computer chip already programmed to be a "Stepford" AA member. One of the most important slogans is "Think, Think, Think" which requires the intellectual activity of a brain. And to be honest I feel sorry for Dr. Bob for feeling that way because my home group is full of the very same people he condemns. I was advised to keep an open mind and to live and let live. If Dr. Bob was still alive I would humbly remind him of those principals.
I like your message (not to stroke your EGO). Few of us
in AA today understand that the foundation and mechanics
of Alcoholics Anonymous is reduction of the EGO, and
keeping it as deflated as humanly possible. In very few
cases is it permanently erased. There is always the possibility that it will rear its ugly head. Eternal
vigilance is necessary to keep it at bay.
In Alcoholics Anonymous every member is at the same
level. NO one is of greater importance than any other
member. That is why sharing by "show of hands" is so
harmful to AA. Today's concept of sponsorship also violates
that principle. Instead of suggesting dependence on a higher power
such as the group, we tell the newcomer to "get a sponsor"
to lean on.
I personally hate the "oohs and aahs". I don't need
or want the audible approval by some members. These
members seem to want attention.
The incessant chanting that is part of today's AA
meeting is hardly reverent. The member who shouts the
loudest gets the most recognition.
I think speaker meetings are best, although many
speakers try to be entertainers. I am not there to be
entertained. I wish we could return to the reverent
meetings of the seventies. AA was growing at a healthy
expected rate, doubling about every ten years for the
first 57 years. Our rate of growth for the past 20 years
has been shamefully dismal. Our leaders have been talking
about it for the past ten years. All talk, NO action. Also
Step 2 -came to believe that an AA group could restore us to sanity
Step 3 -made a decision to turn our will and life over to the care of our AA group
Step 5 -admitted to our AA group, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs
Step 6 -were entirely ready to have our AA group remove all these defects of character.
Step 7 -humbly asked our AA group to remove our shortcomings
Step 11 -sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with our AA group, praying only for knowledge of our AA group's will for us and the power to carry that out.
Sounds funny doesn't it? I hope nobody has been harmed by such a gross misrepresentation of the AA program.
"Sounds funny, doesn't it?"
Yes. I sounds funny, but sad to say it's all too true. Look at the posts on this forum, for example.
One member feels bored with meetings, the meeting vigilantes know he's going to get drunk.
Somebody has a problem, the first thing they do is go to their sponsor. What ever happened to "We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us."? I
Someone takes an extra prescription pill and is told it's an alcoholic slip. Oops, 'relapse.' If the person didn't drink alcohol how can it be called an alcoholic slip? Regardless of what the treatment industry and the so-called 'addictologists' say, It's a pill slip and is better handled by the program for pill addicts.
I got sober using the 2nd Edition of the Big Book, stayed sober with the 3rd and am now using the 4th. I still haven't found where it says we must have a sponsor and a home group, go to a meeting whenever we're not working or sleeping and place every aspect of our lives in the hands of another alcoholic.
Chapter 7 tells me that when I get a call from a newcomer I lend him/her a copy of the Big Book, let him/her read it and go back in a week or so to see if he/she wants to go through with the AA program. I haven't yet found the chapter that tell me to read it to him/her and take the steps for him/ her. By the way, both my Big Book and 12&12 recommend taking my Fifth Step with a professional - sponsor isn't very high on the list.
Even though this post is a year old.....I love it.
Thank you
You shared, "Somebody has a problem, the first thing they do is go to their sponsor. Whatever happened to "We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us?" Let me ask you a question, "When you walked through the doors of AA, did you at that moment know how to intuitively handle situations" I would suspect a "NO" or else why would you be walking through the doors of AA. Sponsorship is suggested and I feel it is helpful in the beginning. Do we need a sponsor to the day we die? My sponsor let me go after the first year. He said I was ready to stand on my own two feet because the only person that has the ability to keep me sober is me. However, I have several acquaintances in the rooms that like to continue their sponsorship relationship for many years. I found what works for me, they found what works for them and I suggest you focus on what works for you and share it humbly. This was a helpful meditation for me. "If there was only one way of getting sober than there would only be one person sober." When I fully began to understand the meaning in that I began to know a new freedom and happiness and come to embrace our code love and tolerance. I remember this old timer telling me once years ago, "All the wisdom of AA is contained in the slogans." He felt if someone truly reflected on them they would not drink again. I think I agree with that today.
Let me answer your question, "When you walked through the doors of AA, did you at that moment know how to intuitively handle situations"
When I first walked through the doors of AA I didn't bring a sponsor with me. And nobody formed a line of volunteers to be my sponsor. They simply told me how they drank, what brought them to AA and how they stayed sober. They suggested I use (not just read, study or discuss) the Big Book. And they were available with help whenever I needed it. They didn't tell me I had to do anything, they shared what they did.
Today alcoholics with double digit years in AA are proud to admit they never make a decision without running it past their sopnsor. Those are the ones I aimed my question at, the ones who rely on meetings and a sponsor rather than the Steps and a Higher Power.
I'd like to add to this post. Are you against sponsorship? I think it is a valuable tool that AA has to offer. I know double digit AA'ers who still have sponsors and when they share in group I hear a lot of wisdom. Sponsors can have the objective point of view necessary to snap us out of our stinkin' thinkin'. If you don't sponsorship fine, but, allow us the right to decide for ourselves if it is helpful or not to us. Sometimes our higher powers work through our sponsors.
"Any fool can condemn, criticize, and complain, and most fools do" Dale Carnegie.
I wouldn't quote a self-help messiah who was involved in a "Happiness Scam" making tons of money off peoples misery. AA is not a self-help program. We rely on the strength and unconditional love of our peers and the accumulative wisdom passed on by those before us as well as, our own added stories and any improvements which were made. None of us make a ton of money off helping others return to sanity. We do it out of kindness and unselfishness.
Chronic alcoholism can lead to severe mental health problems, however it does not necessarily mean that alcohol causes severe mental illness in alcoholics. Usually a mental health factor exists long before the alcoholism. In my case this was true. I had symptoms of trauma, anxiety and depression long before alcohol entered the picture. I drank to escape the brain that was torturous to no end. I self-medicated with alcohol initially and it quieted the mind but the underlying mental health problem kept getting worse and eventually I was unable to function in society. AA was helpful of course, but not a cure-all. I assumed the problems would go away once I put the cork in the bottle. I did everything I was asked to do. No matter how many times I went through the steps and prayed to my higher power the underlying problems still existed. But the great thing about AA is you can always get what you need. I heard a person at the podium one night talk about self-medicating in sobriety with caffeine, sugar and carbohydrates. I had these same struggles. I had an awakening and that was to seek proper help. I had to own up to the fact that I was still "cheating" After toning down the compulsive use of these numbing agents I started to feel awful and suicidal and those thoughts were proof enough. AA had done the job with my alcoholism but, it was time to "man up" and do a first step on my mental illness. Medications and therapy were helpful for a few years coupled with AA meetings and that was just what I needed. Today, I'm off the medications but, I continue therapy twice a month. I have learned to live with these "outside issues" through diet, exercise, therapy and now loving relationships. My sobriety runs better with consistency and patterns. When things fall into the unknown or repetition gets altered, the pain within the shadow of mental illness reminds me to get things back in order. Thanks AA.
While drinking, I could attribute my lows and anxiety to hangovers or fear of what I'd done during a drunk. Alcohol also took the edge off my social anxiety helping me to function in the world despite painful shyness.
Sober, I could no longer depend on alcohol to ease me through social situations or blame it for my lows and fears. I had to face up to living life on life's terms.
Thankfully, AA members & the steps made it ok to be completely honest about what was going on with me sober. By sharing their own experiences, AA members let me know I was not alone. And the steps guided me through an inner journey to uncover and discover what was at my core.
The plethora of mental health meds available today did not exist when I sobered up or I may have ended up on something. I did, however, use all of the tools at my disposal including AA (especially helping others), diet, exercise, meditation and yoga to build a satisfying sober life.
Without AA, I could not have even begun to unravel the mess.
Thank you.
Before I started this dream job seven months ago, I was happy and serene. I was loving, kind, and tolerant with others.
Now, all of my character defects have overtaken me. My fears and selfishness drive my every move and every word. I've decided I don't like these people and refuse to fake it. Afterward, I sit in deep resentment toward myself and stir my pity pot. With this, I'm creating confusion rather than harmony.
There are four+ others and all of them annoy me, so I know the common denominator is me :/. I need to be that calm in the storm, humble no matter what is handed to me, grateful for what I do have. My troubles, I do think, are of my own making.
Major problem is I'm isolated: no meetings, no phone/internet service most of the time, and horrible self-discipline.
I talk with my sponsor and am reworking my steps, but I need divine intervention today. Sponsor suggestion if the week was to subscribe to the grapevine, so here I am.
Dear Smilevi,
Welcome to the GV. I hope you find what you need here.
I was never fired from a job during my drinking years. I didn't always stick around very long but I can't say I was ever asked to leave. One reason was that my drinking kept me kind of humble. I was really in no position to throw my weight around.
At around 10 years sober, I found myself in a great job and, for the first time in my life, felt like I should have my say in how things were managed. I ruffled some feathers and my contract was not renewed. I was devastated but thanks to AA could look at my part. I learned that I might be right about a situation but wrong in how I presented that to management and my co-workers. I learned that anger is a poison that can not be put back in the bottle. I needed to hold my tongue, take a deep breath, pray, take a time out...That it was better to address a situation once I'd calmed down.
Like many things in AA, this has been a growth process and I get plenty of opportunities to practice at work, home and in my community.
Thanks for stating that it was how you presented your case. I have that problem. I'm so matter of fact, it turns people off and then they won't listen.
Hello there- I cannot speak to your situation at work but I can tell you that the subscription to the Grapevine has been great for me. I am new to AA and don't have a sponsor yet. I like the fact that i can go to the Grapevine and read something to help me anytime day or night. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I'm at a point in my recovery where meetings are painfully boring. I feel worse afterwards. The hour can't go by any faster. Thanks to the Fellowship of AA and many of its principals I have been restored to sanity and I live a typical life today, without extreme highs and lows; a life very much full of love and joy. However, after many twenty-fours, I find little quality in the rooms. Instead I hear plenty of quantity contained within trite sayings and empty words. The rooms seem to be dominated by contrived, shallow and predictable talk. I seldom hear anything inspiring. I understand our primary purpose is to carry the message to the suffering alcoholic and therefore the majority of the talk is geared towards them but, for someone who has many years under their belt, there is not a lot of experience to be had. I get it, "You drink; you die." Conceivably, it might be safe to say that I have outgrown the AA meeting which scares people if you even mention it. I wonder if there comes a time in every recovery, this realization that it's time to leave the nest and return to life. Does anyone else feel the same? I will say this so there is not a misunderstanding; I am not depressed, angry or thinking about drinking. Sobriety has been the best.
Maybe try different meetings. Or perhaps more service work. Keep carrying the message to newcomers. Maybe sponsor more newcomers. It is best to keep up meetings. You could be going through a phase of development. Just keep carrying the message.
Curious if you are actively sponsoring alcoholics new to the program?
Many members believe the only way to carry the message is by attending meeting. Step Twelve says we "...tried to CARRY THIS MESSAGE TO alcoholics..." not sit in a meeting room and wait for the alcoholic to come to us. We can, and do, sponsor alcoholics outside the meting rooms.
Yes, three individuals who are sober over twenty years.
It's not necessary to be sitting in a meeting room to pass on AA wisdom.
I am almost six years sober and I confess that in my city there are meetings everyday and the same group of rotating people. MOstly you know what they will share before they open their mounths. I like the people there very much, but frankly you can see who are alcoholics of my type, who are hard drinkers who found in AA a social club and those rest who are not working the program. usually the old timers who had the balls to raise against this environment got scared away, mobbed. the head cases (I'm-an-alcoholic-and-an- addict kind of person / my-case-is-different kind of person) are cherished like little enfants who are not aware of what they are saying. There is an inversion of values, I think. There are also those (mostly never had a sponsor) who goes to therapy and analysis every little thing that goes on, a boring talk with nothing to do with the AA program.
Fact is that many oldtimers, recovered people, leave the meeting eventually.
We once had an open discussion type of meeting, book based, very topic oriented which was really a tipping point in my recovery. but meeting got closed due to lack of attendance. people prefered the psychotalk and to hear those shares that you'd rather only share with your sponsor.
The ultimate oldtimer we had (God bless her) once heard my complaints and said: "I think, it will never change in this city. It's something in the water from here".
As far as I know a PHD is not offered in sobriety. I was sick enough when I came in that I needed to repeat the first grade for several years. It worked for me. I got sober because alcohol was interfering with what I wanted/needed to do in life. Replacing drinking with meetings was not what I was after. When I subtract from twenty four the number of hours I need to spend sleeping, eating, driving, working, household chores, family responsibilities, recreation etc there is only a small amount of time left. I need to prioritise how I use it. AA meetings/online is part of it. Now that I am retired I get to choose more of it and I enjoy it and it improves the quality of my life still after a number of years sober. On the other hand if I have been to two meetings in a week and am bored and thinking about another, I'm going for the wrong reason and am doing more for myself and others to visit someone in a nursing home instead.
I'm grateful for those who choose to commit to a lifetime of AA service to keep the doors open and I've done some but AA works just fine without every member spending every day at it.
If there is anyone who hasn't noticed, alcoholics, drunk or sober do a good job of doing what they please and label it as selfless giving.
Thanks for the topic and your honesty. This would be a great topic for an actual AA meeting. In 27 years, I don't think I've ever heard this discussed.
When I was new in AA (unemployed, unmarried, uneverything), I was on fire for the program and sometimes attended 2-3 meetings per day, went to AA social functions and spent lots of time with AA people. As my life filled up with jobs, wife, kids, school, hobbies, sports, recreation...I had to take a more balanced approach to AA.
My home group hosts a noon meeting 6 days per week but I am lucky if I can make one or two. I rarely miss our Saturday meeting, always hold a service position and attend our monthly business meeting. That seems to keep me pretty well connected and keeps meetings fresh for me. I also try to remember why I am there (because I am an alcoholic who needs help and so I can be of help to others).
I totally understand what you are saying, though, and have struggled at times with this issue, especially when I lived in a small town and saw the same 10 people at meetings every night.
You stir a lot of thoughts. I will jot them down. As a
matter of information, I have been sober for 43 years, and
have averaged about five meetings a week for all those years. In years before I had a family, my meetings were more. Today my children are grown and I am retired. I
still attend a meeting almost every day.
I am glad that you are not depressed, angry or thinking
about drinking. I ,too, can personally say that "Sobriety has been the best."
I have loved A.A. from my first meeting and still have
a passion for it today. The gift of sobriety to Bill W.
was God's greatest gift to the alcoholic sufferer. I have
seen this disease up close. I lived with alcoholism as a child and then became an alcoholic myself.
I chair a discussion meeting on Monday Morning. It is
sometimes difficult to get up early, so I accepted the
coffee and chair commitment. We have a meeting Mon-Fri.
and they are just awesome.
Do you sort of indicate that those who come to A.A.
and keep coming after years of sobriety have not really
grown up. Or have you trained your sponsees so well that
you feel that your presence is not necessary? Do you
consider AA a stepping stone?
I agree that most of the meetings in my region are
indeed "off the wall". One early timer quietly said to
me "The meetings seem to be empty." Most of them are
hour meeting and are what I would call a waste of my
time. Usually I don't stay for the ending, to listen
to the promises and hold hands and pray.
Alcoholics Anonymous today is not the AA of the 1970's.
We were quiet, reverent and respectful. There was no hand
raising. Everyone was encouraged to share when their turn
came. No one was made a spectacle of, nor were they allowed
to make a spectacle of themselves. We did not coerce all
members to hold hands with us as we closed with the Lords
Prayer. Sponsors were servants, not masters or teachers.
We told newcomers the Truth. "You Drink, You Die". But
most of them already knew that. So we offer that Truth
with an equal amount of Grace: I was just like you and
today I am sober. I got sober here and so can you. Together
we can do what we can do alone.
I am just wondering: Did you just get bored with the
redundant reading of "How It Works? We could replace that
reading with some of Bill's other works. ANONYMOUS
The answer to your question, as far as I'm concerned, a resounding YES!!!
When i was new I was told that I had to make the program the most important thing in my life. I argued that if I went to a meeting every night I was ignoring my family the way I did when I drank, the only difference being I smelled better. They told me I wasn't listening, I had to make the program the most important thing in my life, not the fellowship. Most of us need many meetings in the beginning, but as we work the Steps and attain some real sobriety we need fewer.
There seems to be a trend among AAs to place all their dependence on meetings and a sponsor rather than on a Higher Power.
Thanks for your reply. I am not the same person who walked through the doors years ago. I'm healthier today than ever thanks to in part AA. It's no mystery the rooms are full of unhealthy people trying to get better and yes some are sicker than others as they say, but to be honest I'm not crazy anymore. The energy in the rooms disturbs me and I don't like to be around damaged people. It is not necessary to be in an AA room to keep the memory green. I come across reminders every day. Although I am totally grateful for AA and I recommend it to anyone seeking help, my life is surrounded by non-addicts. I do practice the principals in all my affairs and this to me means outside of AA. My life is so rich today, something I could never have imagined. Thanks to you it's nice to know I'm not alone.
On AA meetings- I will say I was initially attracted by the human hand of AA but years later I don't feel safe in the rooms and I don't attend meetings at the moment. I am a huge proponent of AA philosophy but, do not like the current meeting environment. I enjoyed AA when the meetings were more humanistic (The Hand of AA) but, the rooms for my taste have become too quasi-religious- (The Hand of God). It's unfortunate but, I am in no position to change the course the current AA is moving towards. I will certainly come around again when people realize the misleading nature contained within the over marketing of Gods involvement. I tried the agnostic meetings and I surprised to discover how wonderful the men and women were however, I felt out of place because I have a faith in God and that relationship is private and special. I attend mass before work in the morning. I always felt AA is best when people are involved-one drunk talking to another- but at least in my area God is the big player in the rooms and I disagree with giving the creator too much importance. I never once felt the hand of God in the rooms but plenty of hands of grateful alcoholics giving back. Hope this helps.
At a meeting years ago someone with 30 plus years attending AA meetings said "I'm bored with meetings" Then someone with 40 plus years in the AA program (working steps) said "your bored because YOUR boring'
A few weeks ago I bought 6 t-bone steaks for an event. The event fell through and I had t-bone for 3 meals that week. I love t-bone but it's gonna be a while before I have another.
Also when I was new I went to meetings for me. After about 3 months and having had worked the steps, I began attending meetings to carry the message clearly stated in step 12. To this day I haven't been bored at my home group and look forward to my hope group.
Last Saturday the person immediately to my left celebrated 51 years and the person to my right was about 48 hours sober. I'm thankful they were both there.
Being bored with meetings has nothing to do with being a boring person. Even old timers are not immune from saying ridiculous things exemplified by that common cutting remark. The statement you are referring to "you are bored because, you are boring" is usually spoken by members who are going to too many meetings and have selfishly turned AA into a social club. Although there is a social aspect to AA, we are not a lonely hearts club, a baby bottle or an employment service. So yes, anyone would get bored going to AA meetings one, two or three times a day. In my case, the elders who assisted me in sobriety only went to one meeting a week, which is what I believe Bill W. felt was sufficient for recovery. The members who came before me reinforced the idea that recovery was not in the rooms but out in the real world. In my first year, I went to less than forty meetings. Instead, I got a job, repaid my debts and faced life on life's terms. It is my belief members can stunt their emotional and spiritual growth by hiding in the rooms and going to too many meetings.
Of course boring people are bored. If they weren't boring, they would never bored. Pretty simple. If they were excited about recovery and carrying the message, boredom would not be an issue.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- It was a big day for Lee Memorial: In a ceremony called "Let's Move that Dirt," a superhero broke ground on the new children's hospital. Today's celebration is also the children's hospital's 20 year anniversary.
It was a mission only a superhero could accomplish. The heavy task of turning dirt was in the hands of Evan.
"It feels awesome," Evan told WINK News. Just 4 years old, Evan is now part of building a Southwest Florida legacy on the HealthPark campus.
Evan sat in the drivers seat of a tractor, and broke ground at the site of the future Golisano Children's Hospital.
"It was amazing. It was nice to come here to have a little play time. He usually comes to get assessed," said his mother.
But tied to the cape, is a story of a survivor. Last Christmas, Evan was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Evan fought the battle, just as any super hero would, taking down the bad guys and winning!
"He has his tumor removed last month, so he is technically cancer free. We are excited!"
The children's hospital was once known as the little hospital that could, and now, it's being recognized as the Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida!
"When children have medical challenges and need hospitalization. They are often in the hospital, out of the hospital, in the hospital, out of the hospital," said Jim Nathan, President of Lee Memorial Health System.
By building here, families won't have to travel the many miles to Tampa or Miami.
"Our challenge for years, being so far from Miami and Tampa, is how to we keep children and families as close to home as possible," said Nathan.
It will be a modern facility with 160 pediatric beds and private suites, so families will no longer have to be separated.
The children's hospital is expected to open in 2017, so far they have raised $82 million of the $100 million dollar goal.
WINK News is also learning the hospital has teamed up with neurosurgeons from Miami Children's Hospital. Local kids that have head trauma will be able to talk to doctors in Miami over the internet. So far, it's been successful, half of children with head trauma, have been able to stay in Southwest Florida.

Exclusive - India eyes $15 billion rollover of subsidy costs into next budget
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Finance Minister P. Chidambaram is finding it harder and harder to meet the government's budget promises and may sweep as much as $15 billion in subsidy costs into next year's accounts to ensure he hits fiscal targets ahead of national elections, ministry officials say.
Chidambaram insists that the fiscal deficit target of 4.8 percent of GDP for the year to March 31, 2014, is a red line that will not be breached. The worst economic downturn since 1991 and a fall in the rupee to a record low have undermined budget assumptions for some months.
But finance ministry officials said the window to raise domestic fuel prices sharply, which would cut subsidies, is closing with state and national elections drawing closer, so shifting some costs into the 2014/15 budget is inevitable.
"It's a given," said one official, who declined to be identified.
The worst-case scenario as of now is that $15 billion in costs will have to be rolled over into next year's budget, the ministry officials said. This assumes that there will be no substantial increase in domestic fuel prices to offset the ballooning subsidies.
By rolling over some costs, Chidambaram can tell voters in the run up to the elections, which must be held by May, that the government met its deficit target. But equally, he will be shackling the next government with costs that could blunt its ability to stimulate an economic recovery.
"Whatever we need to do, we will do. But the fiscal deficit target will be met," said a finance ministry official. "No one should be in doubt about that."
Meeting the target is important also to stave off the ire of ratings agencies as India's credit status sits just one notch above junk. A loss of its investment grade rating would probably increase the government's borrowing costs.
Last year, Chidambaram narrowed the budget deficit by 1 percentage point to 4.9 percent of GDP by pushing nearly $15 billion in subsidy costs into this year's budget and cutting more than $16 billion in planned spending, two ministry officials said.
This year, he could rollover a similar amount in subsidies, the officials said. This will be in addition to spending cuts of $3.2 billion or more that officials are already predicting for the year.
The amount will be partly determined by the success of an auction of telecom spectrum, expected in January. The budget had pencilled in $2 billion for the sale.
But the most critical factor will be whether Chidambaram can gather government support to raise domestic fuel prices to offset ballooning subsidy costs. Some policymakers see that as politically unpalatable ahead of state elections in December, leaving a small window after those votes before the country moves into national elections.
A finance ministry spokesman, D.S. Malik, said it was "too early to say anything at this stage" on how much the rollover would be.
GRAPHICS: India's subsidy spending - here
Chidambaram had planned to cap the subsidies for the likes of fuel and food at 2 percent of GDP, or about $38 billion. But finance ministry officials said it could cost as much as 2.9 percent of GDP, or $55 billion, this fiscal year.
Chidambaram had said earlier this month that the jump in subsidy spending must be tackled sooner rather than later to help stabilise an economy shaken this year by the rupee's slump and a record current account deficit. India imports nearly 80 percent of its oil needs and the rupee drop made government fuel subsidies more costly.
Finance ministry officials in September called for an increase in diesel prices of close to 10 percent to offset the pressure on the subsidy bill.
But Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has shied away from raising fuel prices for fear it could upset voters and cost his Congress party the elections.
At the same time, international oil prices have remained stubbornly high and although the rupee has climbed up from its record low, it remains historically weak.
A new law to provide cheap grains to millions of people has increased procurement and storage costs, inflating food subsidies by around 10 percent. Adding to Chidambaram's headache, the fertiliser ministry has asked for a 50 percent hike in its budgeted subsidy.
"The budget will simply collapse, if we continue to provide subsidies on this scale," said a finance ministry official. "There is no alternative to a 3-5 rupees increase in diesel prices."
It is not unusual for the government to rollover some costs into the following year's budget, although they are not publicly revealed. However, subsidy spending has massively overshot budgeted estimates for the last three fiscal years forcing up the amount of cost that the government rolls over.
If the economy was booming, Chidambaram would have easily absorbed higher subsidy costs. But GDP rose 5 percent in 2012/13, the weakest pace in a decade. Most analysts expect growth to weaken further this fiscal year, although the budget assumed a rebound to around 6.5 percent.
Ministry officials say the rollover is the result of India's cash-basis accounting, in which income is recorded when cash is received and expenses are recorded when cash is paid out. Many advanced economies follow accrual accounting, in which income and expenses are recorded as they occur regardless of whether cash has actually changed hands.
India's accounting method "never gives you the real picture of your finances," said Devendra Kumar Pant, chief economist at India Ratings & Research. "You start the year on the back foot as you have so much backlog to clear." (Editing by Neil Fullick)

Hi: 9° Lo:6°
By Ian Dipple Thursday 27 December 2012 Updated: 30/12 19:47
MORE than £3million extra has been given to the county council to improve the state of Worcestershire's roads.
The funding is the county's share of the additional £333million the Chancellor made available in his Autumn statement to repair, renew and extend the life of roads across England.
From next April Worcestershire County Council will receive just over £2.1million and more than £1.1million in 2014/15, on top of the normal funding it receives from the Government. This year it spent close to £29million on highway maintenance.
The money can be used for road resurfacing, maintenance to bridges or repairing damage to highways caused by severe weather such as the recent flooding. A condition of accepting the money means the council will have to publish a statement on its website at the end of the financial year explaining to residents how the extra funds have been spent.
Transport minister Patrick McLoughlin said: "This extra money will support economic growth and development by helping local authorities in the West Midlands to get the best out of their local road networks."
Coun John Smith, responsible for highways and transport on the council, said the funds would be added to the existing maintenance programme and would be spent on general road repairs or specific projects.
"A huge amount of work has been carried out over the past three years to improve and repair the road network across the county, and we're very proud of the achievements in this area," he said.
"But of course the work isn't over yet as we continue to work to maintain and extend the life of our roads, and the extra funds awarded by the Government will support us in this."
The additional funding was welcomed by Worcester MP Robin Walker who also urged the council to bid for more cash from the Government to tackle congestion 'pinch points' in Worcestershire.
"Given the recent floods and the damage that they have caused as well as the threat of an icy winter, I am sure this money will be well used," he said.
"I would also like to see our county bidding for more support in addressing bottlenecks and helping to unblock pinch points in our highways network. I know that the county council and district councils have already clubbed together to make sure a significant chunk of their new homes bonus money goes into improvements to the Southern Link. I would certainly support them in bidding to the pinch points fund for more funding for this vital artery."

If You Missed the Bus….
Dec 12
In Tours, Videos at 2:00pm
Here's the video. The cool thing is that you can grab the actual discs here at this Adorama link, or go straight here, for a download version.
David and I had Washington DC and Philly put on video. It's a two disc, soup to nuts treatment, same as the Flashbus day. David handles the morning. I go in the afternoon. Every lesson from each session is on the disc. Which in David's case is a good thing, 'cause the way he teaches is clear headed, and defines logic. My session veers around like a roller coaster, much like being on assignment.
Scenes and lessons from the most acclaimed and talked about tour of 2011! On this two disc set, you get the both sessions–Hobby and McNally–in their entirety.
Disc One- David "The Strobist" Hobby
If you are going to drive, you should know how to drive stick. So the morning is spent lighting in manual mode.
We start small with a 4-light headshot, learning to control the scene by adding one light at a time. Then we take those same principles and export them into other settings — an outdoor portrait at midday, a table-top, a big dark room, a shower stall (with water) and finally, into the woods at dusk.
For all of these situations, simple or complex, we use the same approach. Control the ambient, then add one light at a time.
Disc Two- Joe "Numnuts" McNally
After learning to drive stick, in the afternoon we go automatic, and get out on the high wire of TTL. Using members of the audience, we craft spontaneous lighting solutions, talking our way through each setup, mixing TTL and manual (oh my!) approaches, going from one light on the hot shoe to four and five lights on sticks, fitted with lots of different light modifiers.
It's location photography–with all its wonderful possibilities and chaos, right there on stage.
And with this being Hobby and McNally, the entire day is completely serious, steeped in utter formality with no fun or irreverence whatsoever. Kidding.
Actually, really, really kidding, 'cause the video takes you on the bus for an inside tour from which there is quite possibly no recovery:-)
But, truth be told, it's the DVD set is both fun and informative, with scenes and interactions from 14,500 miles, 29 cities, mixed in with non-stop flash lessons, wit and wisdom. Watching it almost makes me want to hop on another bus and do it all over again! Almost…:-)

Many Thanks…

In Friends, Videos at 6:46am
Had a wonderful time yesterday at NAPP. Just great. The folks in Tampa are well and truly family. We started the day with The Grid, with Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski throwing out questions to Trey Ratcliff and myself about popular "myths" or rules that get passed around in photo circles, like, "Never shoot somebody's portrait with a wide lens," and the like. There was some good discussion in the midst of general mayhem and laughs.
Then, last night, Scott led me through a fast paced Q&A in between clips of the most recent video I did with Kelby Training called, A Day with Joe McNally. Scott is so sure footed, both in the video and on the set, in terms of leading the conversation, and steering it in a positive, informative direction, that three hours passed quick as a blink. People sent in some wonderful questions, and the whole thing was pretty lively. The thing that always gets reinforced to me during these exchanges is how much passion there is out there for shooting pictures, which is, you know, pretty great.
My thanks go out to Scott, RC Concepcion (who shot the above pic), Brad Moore, Nancy Masse, and the whole Kelby Training operation. I've done videos with the Tampa gang since the start of their online training efforts, and watched it, in short order, become literally the best resource anywhere for photo and post-production education. As an instructor, you're able to teach well, and have fun doing it.
The video of Scott and I in NYC is going live today, so check it out here.
The Language of Light DVD Page Is Up!
May 23
In Videos at 5:12am
Thank goodness. It's been a long, but fun road. It has been out for a while, of course, circulating around on this bus thing:-) But Drew, the gang here at the studio, and our friends over at Few Loose Screws, really took some time to work on a great page that has trailers, pieces of lessons, and just about everything you could want to know about the new DVD…check it out HERE, or, if you're reading this on the blog, just scroll right and click on the Language of Light image up top for more info.
From one light to a whole bunch, from an empty white wall in a studio to busy locations, we push the envelope of small flash, emphasizing the big three of light–color, quality, and direction. None of the pix are post-processed. The stills in the video are shown just as they dropped out of the camera. Win, lose or draw, it's all on video. Along with some madcap bits, guest appearances, interviews, and a special tech section from former Nikon tech rep Anne Cahill, who is a lot more coherent and logical at explaining things than, say, me.
"Owning this DVD set is like having Joe right there with you as you learn. I highly recommend this for anyone interested photography!!" – Chris Schaecher
"Whether you are a beginner or advanced, amateur or pro, he talks your language….Whatever system you use, you'll be able to apply this knowledge and put it into practice with much success."- Brad Matthews
"What I really appreciate is the process by which Joe builds on the initial concept, and improves, tweaks, changes, and corrals the light to make the final image sing. Lots of instructional DVDs present a lighting concept and a final image, but not the successive approximations that are required to get from point A to point Z, the final image. And for me, that's the ultimate inspiration contained in 'The Language of Light'." – Steve Wylie
Enjoy! And to the folks who have seen it and sent comments, praise and critique our way, many thanks…..more tk….
Shadows on the Concrete….
May 16
In In The Field, Travels, Videos at 1:01am
Hey gang….blog's been, well, a little light lately. Truth be told, I had a hard book deadline to meet, so I shot 13 portraits (none of which I can show here quite yet) in 17 days, then jumped on a plane and headed out to California for a Digital Landscape Workshop Series stop. Whew!
In between finishing the portrait series and coming out here, I managed to spend a wonderful day with Scott Kelby and a video crew from NAPP. They started in my studio, and my garage, and shot everything about that day in the field from the conceptualization of it, to the lens selection, to the packing of the truck. In between we took a tour of the studio workroom, and talked about pictures, from the ones we were about to shoot to the ones hanging on the wall. I've got some of my own stuff up on the walls, but we are blessed at the studio with lots of work from other shooters I have known for many years. And we talked about it all. And then we talked and filmed some more while driving through traffic into the city. And then some more, walking around, assessing the location. And then some more, while shooting. And wrapping. A whole day in other words, from packing the lights to using them, from shooting the job to going back home.
The above is the kind of stuff I shot, which is to say the kind of stuff I've shot in NYC for thirty years. A day in the life of a shooter. It won't be out right away, as they've got a bunch of editing to do, but it should be a fun class to take a look and have a listen to. One Quadra flash, with a honeycomb grid. That's it. One light, high angle, done deal.
Many thanks to Scott and the gang for hanging in the Big Apple for a day. Nothing like shooting in the city……more tk….
Introducing: The Language Of Light
Jan 30
In Videos at 8:59am
At the studio, we've been, well, busy. A big reason why revolves around this announcement, dovetailing with the announcement last week of the Strobist/Numnuts rolling speed light extravaganza, otherwise known as The Flashbus. (You'll want to ping DH's blog, BTW. Big news over there as well.)
We jumped into this project last summer, and have shot and edited pretty intensively since then. A lot of flash stuff in this 2 DVD set. From studio to location and back again, we show f-stops, shutter speeds, setups, break downs (mostly mine), things that didn't work, things that did, and just about everything in between. There's also, ahem, guest appearances, and interviews. And an ongoing ramble through my brain (be careful what you wish for) about why light is good or bad, and the thought process one has to engage in when summoned to shoot either a face or a place. How to light it? How to speak with the light? How to describe a scene or a person best to someone who is not right there with you as a witness. Storytelling light, in other words. Descriptive, fluent, ornate, simple, TTL, manual, rich, gelled, clean, warm–you name it–we use it, show it, and, most importantly, describe the thinking behind it.
Tomorrow, Monday, 9am EST, the Flashbus ticket sales go live. If you are digging that idea, and want to join us at a stop along the way, head that way 'cause the DVD is available discounted along with the tickets. Adorama is the exclusive distributor for the DVD, so to jump on the bus, hit the Flashbus site, and follow the path for bundled ticket/DVD. Below is a taste of the recorded mania…..
If you're not able to join us on the tour, stay tuned for an Adorama URL to get just the DVD. More tk….

What a Trip! Update
I finally hit a spot where we have broadband coverage.
We are about 30 or so miles outside of San Antonio. We are cranking along nicely but the Phoenix RV'ers are just now leaving El Paso. It seems that they couldn't get it welded so they tried to JB weld a patch on it, but after it curing overnight he said it still wouldn't hold. He said that they were going to leave it at Brians place, and that they had contacted the National Campaign who obtained a 15-passenger van for them. They were loaded up and situating the RV about an hour ago, ready to resume their way towards Tampa.
Thanks to everyone who either assisted or offered to help if needed.

FARGO, N.D. Ś ESPN is calling an audible for its popular College GameDay show by departing from its typical large-campus backdrops Ś think Michigan and Clemson Ś and featuring North Dakota State, owners of back-to-back Football Championship Subdivision titles and an early-season victory over a Big 12 team.
ōNorth Dakota State, in a way, is sort of the Alabama of the FCS,ö GameDay senior coordinating producer Lee Fitting said in explaining why the show is coming to Fargo on Saturday. ōTheyÆre two-time defending national champions, ranked No. 1 in the current poll, ten national titles for the program.
ōThe next question was, why not?ö
The news made fans of Bison Nation ecstatic over the imminent arrival of Lee Corso and Co., but some of them are grumbling about where the showÆs setting up shop. Rather than broadcasting from the Fargodome, where dozens of green and yellow coach buses and other homemade party wagons gather for tailgating, ESPN will be in front of the cityÆs historic Fargo Theatre.
Fitting said his director returned from a scouting trip to the city of about 100,000 people with a single recommendation that serves up a slice of postcard-worthy Americana.
ōIt just screamed at him as the best location,ö Fitting said.
Parts of Bison Nation think otherwise, so much so that officials with the schoolÆs athletic department have implored them to stop tweeting their displeasure to ESPN and pleaded with fans to come downtown before the 2:30 p.m. game against Delaware State.
ōItÆll be more than worth it to sacrifice three hours of tailgating to head downtown, support local businesses and provide the best welcome ESPN College GameDay has ever received,ö NDSU athletic director Gene Taylor said on the gobison.com website. Besides, Taylor said, the tailgating lots will open earlier than usual.
ItÆs only the fourth time GameDay has featured an FCS matchup Ś the last in 2008 for Hampton at Florida A&M Ś and it comes during a week where thereÆs a dearth of top-flight Football Subdivision games.
ōThe stars aligned right,ö Bison head coach Craig Bohl said.
Fitting also said GameDay has been moving away from stadiums and tailgating as backdrops, noting the Michigan show two weeks ago was on the quad instead of near the Big House and the Clemson set eschewed the exterior of Death Valley for a huge lawn on Aug. 31.
Fitting said he understands why some fans, particularly NDSU students, are worried about the nearly two-mile trip downtown.
ōBut we want to show off the school, we want to show off Fargo, we want to show off North Dakota in the absolute best light. The downtown area does that for what weÆre looking for,ö Fitting said, noting ESPN is working with the school to line up transportation.
Plus, the Bison play in a big brick building with a roof.
Fargo Police Lt. Joel Vettel said he expects people to begin lining up about 5 a.m. for the show, which runs from 8 to 11 a.m. CDT.
ōThe tough part about this is that we have no idea how many people are going to show up,ö said Vettel, a former Bison wrestler. ōWeÆre going to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.ö
Former Fargo Theatre director Margie Bailly is excited about the showÆs choice of venue, saying Monday she might have to revise her career highlights, which include the chamber of commerceÆs highest honor for spearheading the $3 million renovation of the 85-year-old building and marquee.
ōESPN? IsnÆt that the pinnacle for an arts advocate?ö Bailly said.
She then lauded the network for a choice she believes will help attract new students, contrary to those who want the football atmosphere front and center.
ōIf we have a cool downtown and an art-deco theater is cool, that positions us well in terms of the recruitment of students,ö she said. ōIf we have just a dead downtown, thatÆs not going to be too exciting.ö

In Mari Land, a picturesque world entirely populated by Ridiculously Cute Critters, two miscreants named Kuromi and Baku are imprisoned in a dungeon. One day, they obtain the Melody Key, a magical instrument with dark powers, and escape from the prison. They head to the human world in order to collect Black Notes by making people's dreams come true in horrible ways, with the eventual goal of resurrecting the Spirit of the Dark Power. Meanwhile, an acquaintance of Kuromi named My Melody is suspected of helping the two fugitives escape. She is ordered to go to the human world to arrest them and save people's dreams. My Melody arrives in Yumemigaoka City and helps a junior high school student named Uta Yumeno when she falls victim to Kuromi's Melody Key. The two become friends, and My Melody starts living with Uta. After that, My Melody and Uta are involved in various troubles caused by Kuromi, but they solve them using My Melody's Melody Takt, a magical conductor's baton.As each season of the series progresses, newer tasks fall to My Melody and her friends. In ~Kuru Kuru Shuffle!~, My Melody must collect Pink Notes while Kuromi must collect the Black Notes so they can fulfill their wishes. In Sukkiri♪, both My Melody and Kuromi are candidates to become the new Princess of Mary Land. Kirara★ however is a prequel story, taking place before the events of the three anime series. This series revolves around Kirara collecting the missing pieces of the Wishing Star so that she can return to the human world.The irreverent, genre-deconstructing humor saves the show from tasting like diabetes. The anime would later get replaced by another popular Sanrio franchise called Jewelpet.
