Very noisy pump buto gets the job done. Use to move water - not as a powerhead By Andrew on 11/5/2014 Andrew would recommend this product to a friend I use this small pump to move water from mixing buckets into sump, etc. I use the ecotechs for in-tank powerheads. This small pump along with a vinyl hose is very useful for moving water around from tank to sump to bucket etc. COMPLETE GARBAGE By DieselSmoke on 9/26/2014 DieselSmoke wouldn't recommend this product to a friend just got two days ago they fell apart after two days i use the for a powerhead don't waste your money Only 1 good out of 3 By Dan on 6/20/2014 Dan wouldn't recommend this product to a friend This pump is not a quality pump for the serious reefer. I have purchased three of these pumps because they were highlighted as recommended for driving the reactors I placed on my reef. I had to replace the impellers on 2 out of 3 because the pump was not providing pressure. Marineland customer service was very good about sending me replacements but it just seems like a lot of effort to get working correctly. You have been advised, so don't complain By Mike on 3/29/2014 Mike would recommend this product to a friend BRS was very upfront it letting any buyers know that this pump will make noise if used in a back-pressure application. I purchased them because I was more interested in using them as a low-cost wavemaker due to the fact they are also packaged with a propeller style impeller and a shroud that fits it. When I assembled and tested it this way, I was disappointed at the loud buzzing sound it made when running. I then discovered why: there was a manufacturing issue with the magnet attached to the propeller. The hole for the shaft was slightly off-center, so the propeller assembly vibrated when running. I observed the magnet for the standard impeller in the kit didn't have this flaw, so I just pulled the parts apart and swapped the magnet portions, and problem solved. Yes, these pumps in propeller mode can chatter somewhat on startup, but if used in a continuous application this shouldn't be too much of a bother. Noisy By Tek on 1/7/2014 Tek wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Not as quiet as the old MaxiJet pumps. Makes noise when used to mix saltwater and even more noise when used with a reactor. Spend a bit more and get a pump with a ceramic shaft. Not good By gatorGRAFIX on 12/25/2013 gatorGRAFIX wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I bought one of these as recommended in the BSR video for the Deluxe GFO reactor. Hooked it up in my sump and plumed it as in the video. It IS loud and it will hardly tumble my GFO at all unless I fill it about 20% full. Tech was no help either. Very disappointed. Guess I'll have to spend more money on a better pump. Fiddled with it for weeks. :( Wow, lots of accessories By Bryan on 10/8/2013 Bryan would recommend this product to a friend MJ's have always been reliable. I hadn't bought one in years and wow, it comes with a lot of attachments now to convert to whatever you want. Well worth the cost. Shocked me after about a year of use for water changes By Dangerous on 8/6/2013 Dangerous wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I used this pump to perform routine water changes for about a year. One day I was doing a water change and went to pump the new water into the tank and there was a loud popping sound which resulted in a strong shock and smoke coming out of the unit. For some reason the GFCI did not trip but I will never buy one of these pumps again. Makes water changes super easy! By Stephanie on 7/24/2013 Stephanie would recommend this product to a friend Used this in the powerhead configuration for water changes. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's a bit bulky. Works well otherwise. LOUD........ By Tim on 5/29/2013 Tim wouldn't recommend this product to a friend This Maxijet is OK as long as you are not running it under any type of load such as a media reactor. If you do it makes a very loud noise. I would recommend using the Cobalt pumps if you are running it under any type of resistance. great pump By justin on 3/26/2013 justin would recommend this product to a friend Quit your winning if you can't handle the 3 seconds of noise on start up then why are you spending $30 on a pump.this thing moves massive amount of water in the circulation mode.these pumps are meant to be ran wide open not restricted.I have mine running in powerhead mode with a hydro flo water deflector and have never seen so much water movement. I spent $40 on a system that moves as much water as mu buddies $500 system. Versatile By Clint on 2/18/2013 Clint would recommend this product to a friend The maxi jet 1200 is good and versatile little pump. I use mine as a circulating pump to mix saltwater and to refill my tank during water changes. Hard to beat for the price. I use the 600 model to circualte my ro water as well. This pump is loud By Steve on 1/27/2013 Steve wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I connected this pump and ran it for about an hour to run my dual BRS GFO/GAC reactor, and there is no way I will continue to use this pump. You could hear it from every corner in the house. Effective little pump By Joseph on 1/7/2013 Joseph would recommend this product to a friend Purchased for use with my BRS reactor. Solid little pump that survived getting pumped around in my sump w/o complaint. Perfect flow rate for the BRS GFO/CARBON single reactor. (never noticed any noise, but it was sitting in a sump contained in a thick wooden base) Nice pump for a reactor By shaungee on 12/28/2012 shaungee would recommend this product to a friend I picked up this pump to power my BRS biopellet reactor and it definitely has more than enough power to do it. The only issue is when I had to throttle down the pump to get the right tumble in the reactor, it hums noticeably, not too loud, but you can definitely hear it. I got the prefilter kit to keep debris out, and altogether had about 35 bucks in the setup, so taking into account the light hit to the wallet, the humming isn't that bothersome! Very quiet By Mike on 12/20/2012 Mike would recommend this product to a friend These seem to be the Italian made version which run much quieter. BRS could send the cheaper versions and have met their description, but sending me these reminds me what a quality company BRS is. Thank you for spending a few extra bucks to get the higher quality powerhead. You clearly are looking out for us reefers. I run them on on all 3 of my BRS reactors with zero issues and silence. power not worth the noise By BB on 12/16/2012 BB wouldn't recommend this product to a friend This product does push plenty of water through my brs carbon reactor, but unfortunately I have to say that it's short life in my sump is about to come to an end because not even my mag drive 18 comes close to the amount of noise and vibration coming from this pump. I definitely would buy something of a better quality, which is unfortunate with a brand as well known as marineland. little jet big power! By Dallas on 11/3/2012 Dallas would recommend this product to a friend Bought two of these for my 70 gal reef tank these thing push crazy amounts of water works well in my tank only down side is takes a couple seconds to start while making a loud grinding noise but ones running nice and quite. Suction cups could be better wish they had magnets instead be sure to check often cuz they will lose there suction and fall making a blizzard for your tank. Other then that awesome powerhead for the money Shorted out By michael on 9/26/2012 michael wouldn't recommend this product to a friend This pump shocked me as I was working on my sump. Im glad it was not in my tank because my fish would have died. Great pump if you're not using a controller By jeremy on 8/27/2012 jeremy would recommend this product to a friend Circulation pump - pros- this thing creates a ton of flow, I was really impressed with the current this pump makes. Cons- if you are using his pump with a controller it can be quite noisy when starting or if the power goes out when it comes back on its noisy. Power head - pros- as a power head this pump performs as expected, my pump pulls double duty mixing small batches of saltwater and as a circulation pump with no problems. Cons-none so far Utility pump- haven't used this as a utility/ return pump yet. I can imagine it would work ok in an application with minimal head height where not a lot of flow is needed. Maybe in an ATO setup... Nice reliable pump By kenny on 8/25/2012 kenny would recommend this product to a friend Purchased a Maxi Jet 1200 to run my dual BRS reactor. It works well with the reactors. It seems to be very reliable and is priced just right. It can be a bit noisy, but mine is in my sump area so the noise is not an issue.... OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD By Michael on 8/23/2012 Michael wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Wish I had read more reviews on this power head, because it's complete trash. I can hear this thing running from two rooms away. Sounds like plastic machine gun STAY AWAY. great powerhead By mikey on 8/15/2012 mikey would recommend this product to a friend this powerhead really puts out! was shocked at how much flow this thing produces. and what a great price costs nearly double at my LFS. great buy!

For anyone interested in the child protection/abuse issue, I highly recommend seeing the film "Capturing the Friedmans." This is a current and true version of Rashomon.
Srutadeva das
By Satyaraja Dasa (Steven J. Rosen)
I wanted to write a few words in appreciation of Jai Nitai's brilliant article on the Dhanurdhara Swami case. I think his analysis shows insight into the facts, and even Badri will be hard pressed to respond.
Still, there are many who will disagree with Jai Nitai, viewing his presentation as "a matter of opinion" or as coming from "a particular angle of vision." This, again, is the phenomenon to which I alluded in my second article on this website, in which I said that truth is many-sided.
As I travel around the country (mainly the West Coast, where I recently attended the Los Angeles Ratha-yatra and will soon arrive for the one in San Francisco), I am faced with numerous devotees who both praised and denigrated my Dhanurdhar Swami articles. Some are aghast that I defend a person who is (in the present tense, or so they unconsciously claim) a "child abuser." They gather from this that I find him totally innocent and that I do not empathize with the plight of his victims. Others applaud my efforts, thanking me for pointing out that Maharaja has paid his dues — he admits to several infractions (though none of them approach the horrendous accusations leveled against him in recent days), and has, up until now, submitted to the GBC for rectification.
But all of this, in a sense, is ancient history. Dhanurdhar Swami has already been squeezed out of ISKCON. Another exceptional Godbrother bites the dust, as they say. He will, without question, go on with his service to his spiritual master — a sannyasi, preaching, chanting, and inspiring others.
But he finds it somewhat difficult to work in an institution that, on the one hand, foists sanctions upon him and then, on the other, does nothing to support him when baseless accusations rear their ugly heads again and again.
Let me stop here: There is no point in rehashing the same old material, since I have dealt with this already in previous articles, and so has Laksmi-nrisimha Prabhu, Visnu-gada Prabhu, and several others, not least Jai Nitai. What I want to do here is to briefly revisit the point I made to Badri in my second article — that truth is many-sided. Indeed, this point was brought home to me by the many devotees alluded to above, who I spoke to before, during, and after the West Coast Ratha-yatra festival: Again, some analyze the case and feel that Maharaja should be strung up by his brahmana thread; others, looking at the same evidence, feel that while he has clearly done wrong, he should be shown compassion and allowed to go on in his capacity as a leading Vaishnava.
These diverse perspectives, by people viewing the same evidence, reminds me of an old movie. And while I am not suggesting that any mundane flick could possibly unravel this complicated episode of ISKCON history, there is something to be learned here.
The Rashomon Effect
In 1950, Akira Kurosawa gave the world "Rashomon," his now classic film about perspective and the relative nature of observed reality. In the guise of a Japanese crime drama, Kurosawa offers us both philosophical and psychological food for thought. And while such cerebral food is certainly not prasadam, it embodies components that will be useful to devotees worldwide, especially in light of the Dhanurdhar Swami case.
Rashomon goes like this: In 12th century Japan, a samurai and his wife are attacked by the notorious bandit Tajomaru; the wife is brutally raped and the samurai ends up dead. The incident is reported to authorities by four witnesses, each from their own point of view. The wife also explains her story, which conflicts with the others. After a complex series of events, Tajomaru is captured and is put on trial, but his story naturally differs from the earlier retellings of what had happened. Each version is so completely different, in fact, that a psychic is brought in to allow the murdered man to give his own testimony — and he, of course, tells yet another completely different story. Finally, a woodcutter who found the body reveals that he saw the whole thing. But, lo and behold — his version is again completely different from the others. Rashomon leaves its viewers with certain obvious questions: Who is telling the truth? In fact, what is truth?
The movie's premise is pertinent, focusing, as it does, on the virtual impossibility of arriving at one unified sense of reality when there are numerous conflicting witness accounts. The "truth," it soon becomes evident, is many-sided. In fact, to fully understand what's going on, Rashomon teaches, one MUST learn to see reality from many sides, for while concrete, solid things do in fact happen, they are always perceived in particular ways, by particular individuals, with particular conditioning and expectations.
In English and other languages, "Rashomon" is now a by-word for any situation wherein the truth of an event becomes difficult to verify, especially when there is more than one eye witness. In psychological circles, the film gives its name to the Rashomon Effect, which is, basically, the subjectivity of perception on recollection, by which observers of an event are able to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of it.
While Absolute Truth, of course, is never subject to such relative considerations, all perceptions in the world of matter, unfortunately, are.
The Vedic Conclusion
Everyone has asked the following question, at least in some form: "How can I be certain that what I believe to be true is actually true?" Vedic philosophy arrives at such certitude through pramana, "evidence," which refers to sources of knowledge that are held to be valid. In our Gaudiya Sampradaya, there are basically three pramanas: pratyaksa (direct perception), anumana (logical argument) and sabda (scriptural testimony). Of these, sabda is considered infallable, while pratyaksa and anumana are merely supportive. Therefore, when a devotee of Krishna is asked about the certainty of his or her beliefs, she usually answers by quoting authority: guru (the spiritual master), sastra (the Vedic scriptures) and sadhu (other devotees respected for their realization of the teachings of guru and sastra).
But where does this leave us in the Dhanurdhar swami case? We do not have recourse to ultimate pramanas, like the guru or the sastra. What then are we to do? In other words, our view of the case is subjective, at best.
No doubt something happened in Vrindavan — children were in fact horribly abused — and so I don't want to take the above philosophy too far. Really, the Rashomon Effect has certain limitations. In Vaishnava jargon, we would simply say that the senses are limited and imperfect. Therefore, it is difficult to be certain about any material phenomenon — things are often not what they seem. This is how we would read the Rashomon idea.
Still, certain facts can be known for sure. As Badri said, children were abused in the Vrindavan Gurukula. No question. And Dhanurdhar Swami was involved in the abuse. No question. But the Rashomon Effect tells us that there are legitimate questions even in the midst of the unquestionable. For example, just how much of the abuse actually came from Dhanurdhar Swami? Who was really responsible for the more serious forms of abuse, which certainly went on, not only in Vrindavan but throughout the movement.
Jai Nitai's article should make us ask these questions like never before, for it shows that much of the myth surrounding Dhanurdhar Swami's involvement is just that: myth. And if Rashomon teaches us anything, it is that there are many-sides to any story.
For anyone interested in the child protection/abuse issue, I highly recommend seeing the film "Capturing the Friedmans." This is a current and true version of Rashomon.
Srutadeva das
To evoke the Rashomon Effect in this context is misleading. For one thing, so many are expressing their opinions who had no direct experience. They wouldn't have been allowed to testify in the court of Rashomon.
Many of those supporting DDS's point of view are doing so based on his memories of the events and mood of the Gurukula in Vrindavan. One person, one perspective. So they are adding little more than rationalizations for that perspective. On the other side, there are so many gurukulis who have presented a reasonably consistent alternate view. Even if some inconsistencies can be found, the sheer volume makes that issue minor. Stressing them is simply a smokescreen.
To quote you, "For example, just how much of the abuse actually came from Dhanurdhar Swami? Who was really responsible for the more serious forms of abuse, which certainly went on, not only in Vrindavan but throughout the movement.(sic)"
Good question. Anytime he wants to stop being Horatio at the bridge, to stop taking one for the team, he can. There was physical, sexual, and psychological abuse during his tenure. As former principal of the Vrndavan gurukula it is DDS's duty to identify those abusers and their enablers.
He is being made an example to serve as a deterrent for future potential abusers. Often, the term 'scapegoat" has been used incorrectly to describe this.
From the dictionary: scape·goat
Function: noun
1 : a goat upon whose head are symbolically placed the sins of the people after which he is sent into the wilderness in the biblical ceremony for Yom Kippur
2 a : one that bears the blame for others.
To be a scapegoat, one has to be blameless. While his degree of culpability may be argued quantitatively, qualitatively it cannot. You yourself acknowledge this. "…children were abused in the Vrindavan Gurukula. No question. And Dhanurdhar Swami was involved in the abuse. No question." That he is open to what will be a lifelong process of healing with gurukulis is admirable. This is a proper attitude for someone serving as a positive example.

Kodak Theatre Hosts Magnificent Media 'Cirque'
The media got its first glimpse this morning of Iris, the new permanent Cirque du Soleil show set for previews at the Kodak Theatre in July and an official opening September 25th. The Quebec gang presented two show-stopping numbers, the first involving a pair of airborne male acrobats and the second showcasing what can best be described as the Cirque's rooftop version of a James Cagney gangster movie climax ("Top of the world, maman!").
FishbowlLA has seen a few Cirque shows, and we can honestly say that there's something extra special going on here, thanks to the subject matter of cinema, the heart-of-Hollywood show location, and the fact that the music is provided by none other than Tim Burton right-hand band Danny Elfman. The composer's sensibilities are as perfect a match for a Cirque moviola as they are for the filmmaker's phantasmagorical canvases.

I just wanted to say that, THIS FUCKING POST DIDN'T SAVE WHEN I TRIED TO EDIT IT! Grrrrrr
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
I just wanted to say that, THIS FUCKING POST DIDN'T SAVE WHEN I TRIED TO EDIT IT! Grrrrrr
Sorry guys, I'm just pissed at myself for falling asleep. Those isochronic tones work too well. And, to be honest, I totally forgot it was new year's eve.
I might get on later tonight. And one q… has anyone heard from wolfcub lately? I'm getting worried…
RGG. im jjst glad i wont have to do this tomorrow. Stupid ipod. Anywho, if anyone can tell me how shift easier, that would be great. I can feel that im almost there, but not quite yet
Good night everyone! Or is it good morning? Anywho. I'll see you either tomorrow or friday.
Sting, i was looking through my older entries, and i came acrosss your comment. I have never felt so accepted before…
Now my wing bumps have just become useless lumps. I knew I should have waited to start my shapeshifting practice… Damn, i cant uplod the pic from my ipod…
Veiw the comments below for a book that i'm writing…
Hehe, I forgot to tell you that my dad unwittingly turned on the wifi so that it would work with my touh. And, he doesn't know this, but I also have the parental control password to unblock the Internet for an hour. Hahaha… I am so sneaky. Oh, and did I mention that we got a wifi network? Ya. Now I can talk to you guys whenever I'm upstairs.
I'll try this agin. Ugh, forget it, this touch goes.crazy whenever I try typing a regular post…
Hi guys. Whoa, typing this on my iPod is doing weird things…
"The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision."
- Helen Keller
What timing for a quote:
"When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
"Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
- Theodore Roosevelt
This is my final good bye. I'll try to sneak on here whenever possible. But I don't guarantee anything. And one more thing before I leave: my wing bumps are getting bigger. I think they'll certainly come in by the 21st of this month. I will so miss you guys. And Wolfcub, I will always love you.
Kytsune Stormfire
Well, I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow.. bye!
Ow, why are my ribs and wing bumps aching so much? It's been like this since yesterday… tis starting to get annoying…
Am I going nuts? I swear someone snuck into our house last night and slept here. It was about 10:30ish, and then I heard the outside door open (it's locked at this point) and my parents were in bed, so they didn't hear it. I then fell back asleep. Then, at about 4:34 this morning, I heard someone eating a bowl of cereal. It couldn't have been my parents because they never get up that early. Also, whoever it was must be good with a pick, cause our door has a pick resistant lock. But, who knows, maybe I've just gone crazy from being here too long…
Say, this is my 500th post! Wow! Anywho, I've got some good news and some bad news…
Good news is, I haven't had any creepy prophecies lately, and also I built a cool RC car out of legos.
Now, for the bad news. This week is going to be my last week with you guys. My dad is quitting his job Thursday, so he'll be home full time. But not to worry, I'll try to sneak on when he uses the tractor to plow our driveway. And maybe here and there I'll sneak on. But I will surely miss you guys. So let's just enjoy my last three days together.
seee ya mmmmondayya. rgg, stupid keyboard…

I noticed a discussion on here about having problems creating a WinPE boot disc for the Sony Vaio VPCZ1.
I solved this problem by downloading the HP drivers for the Intel 82577LC from here http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=4096175&prodNameId=4097219&swEnvOID=4055&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-89788-1
On the GHOST boot wizard I added the Intel 82577LC driver gave it the friendly name of Intel 82577LC Vista 32 and pointed it to the Vista 32 driver that I extracted from the HP download folder %\%\SP50479\flat\VISTAx32
To make sure nothing else would cause a problem, I did not set up a logon or add any other files. I created the ISO image for the CD and booted the Vaio with CD.
When it had finished booting I typed NET USE \\server\folder at the command line and "hey presto" I connected to the server folder using the network driver from HP.
Hope this helps those guys on the other forum https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/intel-82577lc-and-sony-vpcz1 for the Intel driver from last year, I would have posted it there, but it's been closed as no one had posted to it in 6 months!

Mixing crack with alcohol
Thinking about mixing crack with alcohol?
We hope that you'll reconsider. In this article, we assess the hazards of mixing the illegal drug crack cocaine with alcohol. Lots of things can go wrong. In fact, the consequences can be so severe that they result in overdose and even death.
How long crack stays in your system depends on the length of time and volume you've been using. If you still have questions after reading more about combining crack and alcohol, we invite you to ask them at the end of the article. We try to answer all questions about crack or alcohol as promptly as we are able.
Crack and alcohol effects
Many people who mix crack with alcohol combine cocaine and booze thinking that they will ease the negative effects that come along with crack such as such as tremors or vertigo. However, because alcohol can be a central nervous system stimulant, drinking on crack can actually intensify the length and the high you get from crack. In fact, this mixture can induce euphoria (a state of intense happiness and self-confidence). How does cocaine affect the brain? Other effects include: talkativeness, mentally alertness, and more acute senses of sight, sound, and touch.
On the flip side, however, drinking on crack will produce negative effects. Crack can enhance the absorption and metabolism of alcohol, creating intoxication or alcohol poisoning. Increased intoxication decreases inhibition. Coordination also decreases while high self-confidence creates a dangerous environment for potential accidents. And the mixture also has the potential to cancel the effects of one other out. No one can tell the many possible outcomes of mixing crack and alcohol. But one thing is for sure: it's dangerous.
Dangers of mixing Crack and alcohol
One of the big dangers of mixing crack and alcohol together is that once in the body cocaine and alcohol combine to create a third chemical that is very dangerous. This substance is called cocaethylene. Cocaethylene is produced in the liver and is the biggest reason why the effects of crack intensifies and increases the possibility of sudden death. Additionally, cocaethylene leaves the heart vulnerable and perceptible to increased breathing and heart rates.
When alcohol doesn't increase the stimulant effects of crack, it will instead work as a sedative. Crack and alcohol cause the central nervous system to go back and forth between frenetic activity and sedation and can cause in the body a sudden shutting down. As a sedative, you are at risk of being unable to wake from sleeping if you mix crack and alcohol, with added risks of inducing an unconscious state. Crack also enhances the absorption and metabolism of alcohol. This is why it takes less alcohol in the body to poison you while on crack and you will feel drunk quicker than if you were only drinking rather than mixing alcohol with crack.
Crack and alcohol overdose
As with other drugs, most crack overdoses involve the use of alcohol. Firstly, the new substance that crack and alcohol produces in the body (cocaethylene) adds to the already dangerous nature of overdosing. Add to this the fact that crack is illegal, and there could be chemicals you aren't even aware of that could add to an unexpected lethal dose. Not knowing what you are dealing with intensifies the probability that you will suffer an overdose. And finally, mixing crack and alcohol can lead to a body system shut down. In sum, crack and alcohol should not be used together.
Crack and alcohol deaths
Death is possible and increasingly likely when mixing crack and alcohol. Cocaethylene is a deadly substance and makes taking the two substances at the same time extremely dangerous. Your heart becomes vulnerable under the stress of all the chemicals in your body and your heart and breathing could stop. Combine the sedative of alcohol to crack and you may never wake up.
Is it safe to drink on crack?
It is never safe to drink alcohol and take crack together. When combined, the two bring out the worst effects of each drug and intensify the stimulant and depressant effects past their potential as separate substances. The risk of overdose and death is simply too high. So if you want to avoid these risks altogether, it is advisable that you just don't drink on crack.
Mixing crack alcohol questions
Do you still have questions about crack, alcohol, or other substances? Please leave your questions about crack cocaine here. We try our best to answer all questions personally, and promptly. And if we don't know the answer to your specific question, we will refer you to someone who can help. Your experiences with mixing crack and alcohol are also welcomed below.

How long after you use crack can you have a few drinks? I have decided that I am not using anymore. The last time I used was 1 day ago. I am done with the constant cravings and wasted money. But since I did use not long ago I want to make sure it's safe when I do have a few drinks. Thanks in advance.
Hello Chris. The half life of crack is really short – about 15 minutes, or so. That means that your body processes and metabolizes HALF of the cocaine in 15 minutes. And it's usually not detectable for about 8 hours after use. While we don't condone heavy drinking either, you should be OK if you wait for 24 hours between use of crack and use of alcohol.
i'm curious to know what crack smoke smells like, and if a crack user would drink but not seem to be intoxicated?
Hi Andrea. Yes, it's possible that the stimulant effects of cocaine can seem to offset the depressant effects of alcohol. However, this is just a mask for intoxication…and a person on cocaine can certainly be affected by alcohol and even end up drinking too much.
Crack smoke smells like burning plastic, rubber or styrofoam. Crack can smell a little sweet, but the odor is very chemically.
I am seperated from the addicted person. He helps and has a good manner but he gets revengefull on the other side. Many incident i experienced in dangers. I thought about call fbi about this matter. But i am scared. Also i visualise when he is kind heart. He covers his addiction and keeps a job and support himself. He wants to get in my life again but i strongly said "no" . I have to be strong but i feel sorry for him and want to help him but he denies and lies well always.
Dear June,
This description certainly sounds like an addict.
You can get in touch with Al-Anon for support for yourself and you can call 1-800-662-HELP for information about drug addiction treatment and local resources in your area. Otherwise, I think it a good and wise decision to stay away from an addict who has not been treated for addiction…and is still using!
In my experience many duel addictive individuals (crack and alcohol) dominate addiction is alcohol and they use crack to stay awake or coherent to allow them to continue to drink.
Hi, I Have a few ?s please. My sister is in terrible shape. She has drank alcohol for years. She lives with her boyfriend, who uses crack and alcohol every day. My sister has been hospitalized several times for numerous things. On 3-4 of these occasions, she has tested positive for cocaine. She swears she has tried it in the past, hates it, and she is absorbing it somehow through her boyfriend's use because he uses the dishes & does it around her. I would like to know if she can absorb it into her system by his using it around her, using microwave, dishes, etc. I really need to know what to believe. Thank You!
Hello Kim. It's possible that environmental use be detected in your sister's system. The most accurate (but expensive) way to determine if she's been using crack over time is to request a hair analysis, which will show amounts of cocaine in her system. A Medical Review Officer at a laboratory can help you understand the results of such a test and determine if, indeed, she's been using cocaine and consuming it or if environmental factors contribute to the results. Combined with a blood or urine test, you can get a better picture of what's going on.
My children's father has addictions to alcohol and crack cocaine. He is currently on probation for DUI and is drug tested once a month. But crack doesn't stay in his system long enough for the test to catch the use. He does keep a job but binges and often can't pay the bills. My son has had to ask him to stop smoking it in the house and leave and he refuses to go claiming he will quit but will binge again within weeks. I've been to alanon meetings to try to help with my anger and control issues. What can I do to get him to quit or leave.. I'm running out of options
Hello Elaine. You are in a tuff situation, but most importantly, you have your son and yourself to take care of. Tell your husband that he needs to be truly commited to leaving his addiction, that you'll be there to support him, but set boundaries. Have you tried family counseling? Does he go to any kind of therapy meetings?

"Why are we fighting again? Because the fans wanted it. I usually dominate my opponents or knock them out. But this guy won three or four rounds against me, and that never happens.
"It's obvious he's doing something right if he is facing me again and he won a few rounds from me. But the referee had a bad night last time. We forgive him but this is going to be a much cleaner fight. Note of those dirty rabbit punches or elbows.
"This is not a street fight; this is not an MMA fight. My health and my career after boxing is what's important. He has a wife, he has children. I could hit this guy without gloves and he could never talk again. We use gloves to protect ourselves.
"It's going to be another great showdown because I'm pretty sure he's going to be ready and I'm always ready. We're just going to give the fans what they want to see
"My back is always against the ropes no matter how it plays out in the sport of boxing. If I dominate a guy they say he's over the hill. If I don't knock a guy out they say he's slow. I'm not just fighting my opponent, I'm fighting the world - the media, the critics, the haters. But it comes with the territory.
"I'm in this position for a reason so all I can do is go out there and be the best Floyd Mayweather. I just need to dominate, take my time and listen to the instructions that my father gives me.
"Robert Garcia is not the fighter, so he can say whatever he wants to say. It's up to the fighter to get in there September 13 and show me what he can do.
"This is my era and I just might be on another level."

Hi: 12° Lo:9°
By Harriet Ernstsons Wednesday 21 November 2012 Updated: 22/11 15:03
TORRENTIAL downpours are predicted to hit the area at rush hour this afternoon.
The Met Office is forecasting 20mm will fall from 5pm tonight (Thursday) along with winds of up to 70mph.
Drivers are being warned to take extra care as it is likely that windscreen wipers will not be effective, reducing visibility and there will be a lot of standing water on the roads, as well as localised flooding.
The borough is still dealing with the impact of Wednesday's (November 21) deluge which saw 29.2mm of rain fall in Redditch - almost half of the average rainfall for the whole of November.
It caused Feckenham First School to close due to safety concerns about surrounding roads which were flooded and there were reports of drivers being left stranded and having to be rescued.
Other roads were also closed by Worcestershire County Council including Holloway Lane in Lodge Park, Astwood Lane in Feckenham, Peterbrook Road in Wythall and Icknield Street at the junction of Primrose Hill in Alvechurch.
Holloway Lane, Icknield Street at the junction of Primrose Hill in Alvechurch and Fox Hill, also in the village, remain closed today (Thursday).
Some drivers have been ignoring road closures and are risking putting themselves and others in danger.
In light of travel disruption, West Mercia Police and the Safer Roads Partnership are urging motorists driving through larger puddles or smaller areas of standing water to progress slowly and steadily, allowing oncoming traffic to pass and always testing their brakes after leaving the water.
Headlights must be used and drivers should leave a bigger gap between them and the car in front to allow extra time for stopping.
On the advice of The AA, anyone who breaks down in heavy rain, should try and get the car to a safe and visible place, call for roadside assistance and wait for help to arrive.
On encountering a flooded section, motorists are advised not to attempt to drive through flood water, as it will be impossible to predict how deep it is.
Vicki Bristow from the Safer Roads Partnership comments: "We are urging all motorists to exercise caution in these conditions, use common sense and follow our simple advice.
"Localised flooding still exists in places and the current forecast is predicting more of the same so our advice is to stay alert to local weather and news reports and if your area is experiencing flooding it's advisable to leave any non essential travel until any flooding has subsided."
Up to date flood information is available by calling Floodline on 0845 988 1188. Visit www.hwfire.org.uk for more advice.
The 247 bus service between Redditch and Evesham is also only running to Bidford.

A claw-foot tub from Baths from the Past now offers a view. The room's dark wainscoting got a fresh makeover with white paint, while a coat of Tiffany blue livens up the top half of the walls. Angled tile replaced the outdated linoleum floor.

"This was delicious. I made a few changes. I didn't have sherry, but the overall flavor was yummy without it. I used half and half instead of heavy cream and to shorten the cooking time I bought a rotisserie chicken. Finally, I substituted whole grain egg noodles for white noodles. The topping was crispy and brown and no one noticed that there was ""

The blond girl is reaching toward the stage, trying to grab the singer's partially exposed ass as he leans out over the crowd. The tight jeans he's wearing are now strategically torn in back, and she can see the pale skin just inside. She screams out to him, "Mickey!" But as her manicured fingers near their target, he suddenly reaches down and squeezes her hand, then turns and shimmies off across the stage, raising a bottle of expensive tequila to his mouth and gulping it down like water. The girl falls back into the arms of her friends, smiling beatifically, her glossy lips parting to reveal a set of expensive-looking braces. She can't be a day over 15, and she's obviously wasted. "Mickey . . ."
Like a young Mick Jagger, the singer is shirtless and skinny, ugly and pretty. He strolls across the stage holding a microphone, then grabs a noticeably drugged-out backup dancer and kisses her on the mouth. He shoves her hard across the stage, and she stumbles in her heels and falls forward onto the floor, legs splayed apart in her short dress, eyes closed the whole time. "Mickey . . ."
The singer's head dips and bobs to a pounding beat emanating from the club's sound system. His friend, also shirtless, stands next to him, leaning out over the crowd and pouring tequila into opened mouths as if delivering a communion. A large, athletic boy bolts across the stage and tries to tackle the singer before he's dragged off. Raising the microphone to a face adorned with glittery, half-smeared makeup, the singer surveys the scene before him. Screaming girls? Uh-huh. Jealous and sexually confused boys? Sure. Sold-out show at the legendary Roxy? Okay. Is this the beginning of a full-scale glam-rock revival on the Sunset Strip? Despite the heady promise of drugs and debauchery coursing through the young and predominantly white crowd, not exactly.
The singer tosses his longish hair back and begins to rap. There's a certain disconnect, yet strangely it works. His voice is a slightly effeminate drawl, teasing out the words . . .
"Mickey Avalon, dick thick as a baton, the illest motherfucker from here to Vietnam, I used to work nights on hot cock dot com, but then I got fired when my mom logged on. I'm on the run, my dad's a bum, I asked my girl if she loved me and she just said —umm . . ."
Toward the back of the club, two lanky African-American kids are dressed in the uniform of the serious hip-hop aficionado — T-shirts, baggy jeans and tilted baseball caps. They are perched on top of a booth, surveying the scene before them.
"That dude used to be a homosexual prostitute," one of them finally shouts over the loud music.
"For reals?" his friend asks in obvious disbelief.
The first kid just shrugs, and they continue watching.
Backstage after the show, Mickey Avalon strolls into the crowded dressing room like a middleweight champ in mascara and eyeliner. He pours a bucket of ice water over his head and lets out a joyful scream, then pulls two very young-looking groupies close, and the three of them start to kiss and grope one another. A nearby photographer grins and begins to circle around, shooting pictures, while a few feet away, a beautiful girl in a black designer dress kneels down onto the soiled carpet and vomits into a trash can, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I like a girl who eats and brings it up, a sassy little frassy with bulimia. Her best friend's a plastic surgeon, and when her Beamer's in the shop she rolls the Benz. Manis and pedis on Sundays and Wednesdays, money from Mommy lovely in Versace. So rich, so pretty, the best piece of ass in the whole damn city."
Mickey Avalon, the world's greatest glam rap star — a genre of one.
I'm sitting with Avalon at a small kitchen table with his grandmother. The décor of her single-story Beverly Hills home seems to have been locked in place sometime during the early 1970s — colorful wallpaper patterns, prickly shag carpet and a minimalist tree painted on the wall behind me. We're here to check some old photos, but when Avalon mentions I'm a writer, his grandmother sits us down and begins to tell her story. It is a harrowing tale for sure — she was a young Jewish woman in Hungary when the Nazis made their move. Avalon is supposed to be heading for a Silver Lake recording studio to lay down some tracks with producer Dave Cooley, but instead we sit and listen. As she speaks to us in her thick Bela Lugosi accent, I find myself staring at the numbers tattooed onto her forearm.
The ordinary details are the most unsettling. Watching the beloved family dog running desperately after the train as the family is hauled away. Josef Mengele casually sorting the new arrivals at the gates of Auschwitz, separating mother and daughter forever. Her handsome young husband, Avalon's grandfather, a respected and beloved dignitary, was at Auschwitz as well. He's in pictures throughout the house and looks like a movie star in tailored suits and a perfectly tilted fedora. The two of them managed to survive the Final Solution, though not entirely unscathed. The suave grandfather was used in one of Mengele's medical experiments, which left half his body partially paralyzed for many months afterward. The grandmother was severely mauled by the attack dog of Amon Goeth, the sadistic officer portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in the film Schindler's List. The rest of the family was extinguished.

Thanks…I needed a giggle!0
Maybe not satan, but sure as hell one of his minions+2
We are selling a sensible diet and plenty of exercise while the other side is giving away free ice cream and Obamaphones.
We are right, and all knowledgeable people know it, but now there are not enough knowledgeable people that vote.
I don't have any answers today.+5
Blasphemy! Santa was a muslim fag.+4
…wasn't a…+3
…Looks more like "The [Muslim]Grinch Who Stole Christmas"+3
Barry probably would be most offended by this. How dare you compare him to an old White man.+4
57% of the people are the elves, while it's Christmas every day for the other 47%.+2
By the way, Santa don't work for free. Your MasterCard bill will be due after the first of the year.+6
Gotta love those gumment freebees.
A question. China, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Viet Nam, the old Soviet Union.
Do, or did, any of these have welfare, food stamps etc?
You see, once voting becomes unnecessary. Buying votes becomes foolish, and counter productive. Riot over the loss of entitlements? Well, Uncle Joe and Chairman Mao, have shown us how to deal with the unruly. When you no longer need useful idiots, they become a burden.+7
@Mr. Happy
I've been in the hospital, and they ask a *lot* of questions before they treat you – medical, personal, religious, and financial. I was surprised at the depth and detail they wanted.
Anyway, when they were done with the questions, they advised me that I qualified for $200/month in food stamps and probably could claim permanent disability and maybe get other benefits too. The lady said this with a big smile like she was really excited at my good luck.
Let me tell you, I'm a little sick but I ain't nowhere near disabled. (you fillys hear that?) Apparently my definition of disabled and the government's definition of disabled have a little bit of space between them – like enough to drive my tractor through.
How can people resist something like this? With just a few forms and the a doctor's signature I could be on the government teat forever. What would most people do when offered this? And I do mean offered – I didn't suggest anything and told them I didn't need food stamps. They acted like I was being too proud and said I could come back anytime if I changed my mind. Then during my treatment I had like 4 social workers visit and offer me more 'free stuff'.
I guess some folks need that sort of help but dang they sure were aggressive about providing it. Makes me wonder if they've got a stake in how many people they can put on Barry's payroll.Noteworthy Comment +12
But Mommy…why does Santa smell like Pall Malls and anal lube?
And who know he was a Schwarze?+6
@cfm990: Of course China, Cuba, North Korea and Soviet Union didn't have welfare – they had something better: summer camp. And winter camp. Actually, camp all year round. Boating, hiking, archery – I think they had all of the activities. And you learned something to – that's why they called them "education camps." Or was it re-education camps? I forget, but it sounds like the same thing.+8
See…I'm slowly getting back into ratfucking Barry now, just like old times (yesterday afternoon, before the erection reults, to be exact).
Baby steps, folks. Baby steps.+5
"Makes me wonder if they've got a stake in how many people they can put on Barry's payroll."
I'd say that was a certainty.+7
And greetings from the Happy Hunting Grounds of the People's Republic of Illinois, where the bow and arrow has been replaced by the EBT card and the Permanent Disability check. Who pays? Who cares!
And How.Noteworthy Comment +10
"How can people resist something like this?"
Yeah, I see what you mean.
Maybe "disability" is the new "going Galt"?
I know it sounds distasteful, but if by you refusing the money means more loot going to the Obama-phone lady, then maybe we are not helping things by taking a principled stance while drowning in a sea of amorality.
In any event and no matter what direction you chose, I wish you well.+5
@ Wyatt: Boating? I guess, if you don't mind being the anchor. Hiking? A pleasant way of saying forced march. Archery? Well, targets can get expensive.+3
that blue pill is looking better and better+2

Had a somewhat similar situation to Xavier's when my son was born. For gits and shiggles, Mrs M had already checked to see what, if any, benefits she or our son would qualify for. The answer was, of course, none.
Nevertheless, while in the hospital, we kept getting information from various helpful folks on how to apply or qualify for this or that "program". There was a lot of "here, you'll need this (form, info card) to sign your baby up for (program). " It was presented in the most natural "everybody does it" way.
And it made me just a bit ill.+3
Krauthammer says that "Amnesty" for illegals is the key to future Republican success.
Everything is crap.+6
Mark Levin is having a call to arms now on his show…it's at least a bit hopeful. He's not sugar coating it tho.+3
Most Americans now want free stuff and the've learned how to vote, and vote dmocrat. This election proves it.It will take a generation or more to to get America back.And that is probably wishful thinking on may part.+5
@Moe tom
I went to the post office today to mail some bill. You should have seen the look on the postlady's face when I asked for upside down American flag stamps. Sent them all out upside Down !+6
Good move Unruly Refugee. I like that.+3
@FreeMan & Sarah Screwed Again
That was Moe Tom's idea from last night. He's a genius.+2
As usual, Rush nailed it today. I'm sure half the libtard world tuned it to hear Rush whine about being stuck with O'Phuqface for another four years. But he refused to give them what they wanted – tears and sorrow.
Rush was dignified and under control, and his Santa Claus schtick was out of the park!+4
Right on Moe Tom
Can I turn the mail box upside down too? Cause I wants ta.+1
Yes guys I sent my first batch off this morning also. I turned Lady Liberty up side down, sorry Lady, but I'm on a mission.+3
@Moe tom
I felt kind of bad doing it like that at first. Not any more. I bought the flag stamps that say "Freedom", "Justice", "Equality" and "Liberty". They now look correct upside down.
We gave the bastard four years to make things right, now it's payback time.+3
"You should have seen the look on the postlady's face when I asked for upside down American flag stamps."
I bought 2/100 roll upsidedowners today. $88.00
Can't wait to put them on my tax returns. Village,Town,State, and Federal.+1
