First of all, thanks to everyone on these boards! The amount of info is astounding!!
So I just sampled my first batch (extract) and I am not really enjoying it
I'm hoping maybe you guys can shed some light on what could be the cause of the final results.
This was an extract kit I bought from my LHBS. A Belgian Blond Ale the ingredients are listed below.
I am having a hard time putting this into words but my problem with the beer is that it has a very "fruity" flavor. It's almost a "wine-like tangy-ness". After drinking one my lips get sticky. I have never had a beer make my lips sticky before. Maybe it is fruity AND yeasty?? Finally, I think it could use just a little more carbonation.
Anyway, I was wondering if you guys have any ideas what could have caused this. Maybe suggestions on what I could do better next time. I did 1 week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary, and 3 weeks in bottle.
Recipe from LHBS-
6.6# Light LME
1.65# Wheat LME
1# Candi Sugar
Steeping Grain- 8oz aromatic malt?
2 oz bittering hops (type unknown)
2 packages T-58 ale yeast
Fruity could be fermenting too warm. What was the ferment temp?
Too yeasty could be drinking it too young. How long has it been bottled?
I have no idea on sticky lips.
Edit: reread OP. I find my beers are best with 4 weeks in a fermentor and 4 weeks in the bottle to carb. You might just have young beer flavors.
How long in the bottle and how long did you fermentor?
Sounds like a ferm temp issue.
But Blondes can be rather fruity / yeasty. Are you familiar with commercial examples you can compare yours to?
It may just not be the right style for you.

Thanks for the responses all. After reading them, i am thinking ferm temp may have been a factor here. But I just picked up a used compact fridge for $40 on CL so all I need now is a temp controller for it. Thanks again for the input and all the great info on here.
I would also tell you to just give it a little more time. I would let it condition in the bottle for another week. I find my beers tend to really come together around the 8 week mark and 4th week in the bottle. You would be amazed and the difference one week of conditioning can make in the taste of your beer. Also Belgian beers tend to get better with age.
This might be the beer talking....but I really love beer!
Civilization begins with Beer !
Primary: nothing in the pipeline at the moment
Secondary: some summer beers are imperative
Bottled: Nut Brown, Listermann's Cream Ale, American Pale Ale, Holiday Ale, HopNog, Honey Malt Cream Ale, Irish Stout, English Brown Ale, BIAB English Ale, India Black Ale, Bengal Juice, BIAB Cherry Wheat on the cherries, Belgian Pale Ale, Island Hefe on Mango, Island Hefe on Apricot (and dang -these are awesome beers)

Re: Do marina liveaboards dump their s@!^ in the river?
To respond specifically to TF's question about what may be happening in HIS marina, I posit the following hypothesis:
The broken down boats with um...mentally questionable residents are most likely (but not 100% certainly) dumping/pumping overboard.
The boats with regular joe's are less likely, but may be pumping overboard. If they are, they are probably doing it infrequently, just until they can get to a pumpout, or have a "honey dipper" boat visit them.
Speaking as someone who lived aboard for around 6 months last year, I have a 5 gallon holding tank. Just enough for weekending, basically. I
pumped solid material overboard. Not once. I did however, make occasional, liquid deposits off of the finger dock, at night, when I was certain no one was watching. I know that many of the single males followed this practice.
The bath house was at the end of my dock, and my marina was small. I believe that this convenience helped keep fecal matter out of the water.
My sinks drain overboard, so I definitely discharged grey water from dish washing. I used no/low phosphate soaps in an attempt to be environmentally friendly.
Hope that helps answer your question.

Ricardo Rocha has admitted his disappointment at seeing Portsmouth denied a place in the Europa League.
Football Betting
Bet £5 Get £20 Free
Pompey would have qualified for the tournament having reached the FA Cup final but they missed the deadline to apply for a Uefa club licence.
Despite the club's appeals, the FA and Premier League have said they will not accept any late applications, instead awarding the honour to whoever finishes in seventh place this season.
Rocha, who joined the club in January, admits it is a big blow to the players who have worked hard under difficult circumstances this season.
"It's a little bit disappointing because we deserve it for our achievements on the pitch," Rocha told Sky Sports News.
"But unfortunately, the club didn't pass the paperwork required.
"We cannot do anything about it."
Asked if the decision to omit Pompey from the tournament was unfair, he said: "It's a tricky question.
"It's difficult to say if it is unfair because the paperwork wasn't done in time, but we proved on the pitch that we deserved it."
He concluded: "It is just difficult for everyone at the moment."

The concern seems overdone. While sales fell 10.9% in the retail division and 12.6% in the Nook unit in the nine-week holiday period, Barnes & Noble (ticker: BKS) still has significant asset and strategic value. Shares fell 11% last week to $13.35, but further downside may be limited. Investors recognize that investments in the Nook division by Microsoft MSFT 0.2946127946127946% Microsoft Corp.

That's well above Barnes & Noble's current market value of $800 million.
Barnes & Noble dominates the bookstore business, with 689 stores and 64% of the country's shelf space. Its stores could generate almost $300 million of pretax cash flow in the fiscal year ending in April. The bookstores could be worth at least $10 per share based on a multiple of four times cash flow. The combined value of the bookstores and Nook could top $30 a share, as Barron's noted in a bullish story ("The Underestimated Anti-Amazon," Oct. 29, 2012). The stock then traded at about $15.
Investors doubt the implied value of Nook owing to its poor holiday showing and projected negative cash flow of about $260 million in fiscal 2013. B&N has tried to get the Nook e-reader into consumers' hands and then sell them profitable digital content such as books and magazine subscriptions.

Yet the Nook division is self-financing, thanks to outside investments and control of Barnes & Noble's profitable college-bookstore business. Microsoft invested $300 million last year for a 17.6% stake, and committed an additional $305 million over five years. In late December, Pearson put in $89.5 million for a 5% stake.
The retail-bookstore business could generate $2 a share in free cash flow in the current fiscal year, perhaps allowing Barnes & Noble to resume an annual dividend of $1 a share. Barnes & Noble is expected to post a loss of about $1 a share in fiscal 2013, reflecting consolidation of Nook's losses with bookstore profits, as well as significant noncash depreciation and amortization expense.
BARNES & NOBLE HAS IMPORTANT strategic value. It has $7 billion in annual sales, a dominant bookstore business, and an e-reader alternative to Amazon. Microsoft easily could buy the entire company, giving it a big retail footprint and control of Nook.

'The Kennedys' Miniseries: Katie Holmes As Jackie Kennedy Preview (VIDEO)
Now that a network has elected to air it, we can take a look at the controversial 'Kennedys' mini-series.
The eight part series, produced by noted conservative Joel Surnow, was pulled from its scheduled airing by The History Channel after complaints from the Kennedy family and a protest led by liberal filmmaker Robert Greenwald, was finally picked up by ReelzChannel on Wednesday after another series of rejections, led by Showtime's passing. The pickup was a savior for the expensive series, led by Greg Kinnear (JFK) and Katie Holmes (Jackie Kennedy).
ReelzChannel has released a preview for the stormy epic, which examines John F. Kennedy's time in the Presidency, up to his assassination in 1963. For more on the series, including controversial looks at the Kennedys' alleged womanizing, read the leaked preview here.WATCH:

text: He was asked about AV's signing. He started out with "In Bill I Trust" but by the end of the conversation he was saying that of the whole team, AV and Brady were the two franchise guys and he went as far as saying AV was more valuable than Brady! He also said that Bob Kraft should have stepped in and told BB that this was a case where the budget shouldn't be discussed. Of course, Ryan prefaced all of this with a statement that if AV just comes out and tells everyone that this was all his doing, he'd forgive the Pats. EDIT: Almost forgot... Ryan also mentioned that Bill Parcells always claimed that Lawrence Taylor "made him what he was". In other words, because of LT, Parcells became a great coach. Ryan then went to say that AV "made" BB the coach he is. According to Ryan, without AV, we wouldn't have 3 Superbowl championships. Of course, he only cited the SnowBowl kicks.

It was not my typical area of expertise as I'm more design focused marketing. I had a quick phone call with the recruiter and was asked standard questions regarding why I was looking for a job, was I willing to relocate etc. After I set up an interview with the manger I received an email.

I thought the interview process was fine over the phone, but when I got there it took me by surprise. I was interviewed along with another by the CEO and his assistant manager. Felt very weird for this to be happening to someone who is just applying for an entry level position. The moment I was turned off by the job was when the woman I was interviewing with (very very nice girl) explained to me the compensation through what I could be making in 2 years. (You can make 6 digits in a little over 2 years!) First of all, that is NOT professional and I'm sure that includes ruthless labor. She explained how much money the CEO was making and how he got to that salary, plus his past salaries. You guys cannot be interviewing candidates and explaining this information, it sounds desperate.
Further, whatever job you applied to that says entry level on it, disregard the title following that (aka, entry level junior executive, entry level account manager, etc.) It's all BS, and I caught on to this very easily. I asked both people interviewing me separately why they weren't interviewing for the specific role I applied for (account manager) and I got very weird and avoiding responses. I eventually learned the truth, that all entry level positions are the same (door-to-door sales) and you eventually move up from there. I told them repeatedly I was looking for account management experience because I applied for the account manager role, and I got, "you'll probably start to see that more in the next couple years of working here. No, guys, don't BS your applicants and waste their time. Whatever website you use to advertise the position openings, make it well known that's the structure of your company and that EVERY entry level role is the same thing. Also show the public that you only have 4 categories of positions, the first one being "entry level employee". Quite honestly, I don't even know if there are more than 4 different possible types of positions you can have in the company, because that's all that was explained to me.Interview Questions

Hansen-Ross Pottery operated in Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan from the mid 1950s to 2005. The Pottery was named after two artists, Danish-born Folmer Hansen (1930– ) and Winnipeg-born David Ross (1925–1974). In this exhibition, are finely crafted modernist ceramics, including works which were prominently featured at the Montreal Expo 67 exhibition Canadian Fine Craft.
While Hansen and Ross attended various schools and had different training, they were profoundly influenced by Scandinavian design and the work and philosophy of the English potter Bernard Leach (1887–1979). The ideas that Leach expressed through his association with the Japanese potter Shōji Hamada (1894–1978) – that the pottery should have integrity, be affordable, and accessible – resonated deeply with both Hansen and Ross.
The pottery, made of Saskatchewan clay, reveals an "honest earthiness of material and skill of an ancient tradition."
Many local potters in the Swift Current area were influenced by and studied under Hansen and Ross.
The exhibition features over sixty ceramic objects made by Folmer Hansen and David Ross. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with essay contributions by Alan C. Elder, Curator, Canadian Crafts and Design, Canadian Museum of Civilization; Julia Krueger, PhD candidate, University of Western Ontario; and Heather Smith, Curatorial Director, Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery.

George Poole, in unique and often humorous ways, paints and constructs stories which reflect on his very special views of his life and the world.
A publication for this exhibition will be available, produced by Novak Graphics.

Symons was an artist, writer and naturalist who lived an extremely interesting life. Born in England in 1898, he was the son of prominent artist, whose friends included Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy and James McNeill Whistler. Symons immigrated to Canada in 1914, at the age of 16, to be a cowboy on a ranch near the Cypress Hills. After serving in World War I, he lived the rest of his life throughout Western Canada working with horses and in the conservation of nature, until his death in Regina in 1973. He wrote books on many subjects, but in particular Hours and the Birds, published in 1967, is a special book; a richly illustrated and evocatively written account of bird watching on the prairies. Robert Symons' artwork is quiet and subtle, but he is an important figure in Canadian art history and the history of nature conservation, and his work deserves to be celebrated.
The exhibition was curated by Heather Smith for the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery. The publication is co-published by the MJM&AG and Hagios Press and written by Terry Fenton, with an introduction by Trevor Herriot, it contains full colour images of over seventy of R.D. Symons paintings. The travelling exhibition would not be possible without the assistance of the Government of Canada, Museum Assistance Program.

In recognition of the Swift Current Centennial, an exhibition of historical photographic images that get to the heart of Swift Current as a community. From art-photographs or professionally made documentation to amateur snapshots, moments in time are captured in hundreds of photographic images. Each tells a piece of a story in the history of a place and its people. The photographs selected for this exhibition transcend record keeping and express the dynamics, experiences, emotion and psychological impact of its moment.
Organized by AGSC, with photographs borrowed from the Swift Current Museum. Supported by City of Swift Current.
This exhibition is Part of the first annual "Saskatchewan Prairie Light Photography Festival"
By Ian Johnston
November 2 to December 29, 2013
Artist Ian Johnston brings his architecture and ceramic background to each of the three independent parts of the art exhibition "Reinventing Consumption". The first section, "The Inventor's Room", presents artifacts related to his original experiments and investigations into a vacuum-forming process for ceramics. "The Antechamber" is a repeating-motif ceramic environment created through this process, which evokes the massive scale of the manufacture of consumer goods today. And finally, "The Chamber" is an inflating and deflating piece which shrouds and reveals an enormous mass of household items diverted from waste streams in some of the communities in which the work is presented. Mesmerizing, intriguing and sobering, "Reinventing Consumption" brings home to viewers, as Johnston comments, "the paradoxical relationship between limited resources and seemingly unlimited appetite." Ian Johnston is an architect turned sculptor based in Nelson, BC.
The "Reinventing Consumption" Project will be showing in public art galleries in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario in 2013/2014.
This exhibition is a partner project organized by The Robert McLaughlin Art Gallery, Oshawa, with Curator Linda Jansma.

With printmaker, Gordan Novak – Part 1
July 6 to August 31, 2013
In November of 2012, at the Zanghjijaije International Oil Painting Art Workshop, chance, knowledge, and the true spirit of camaraderie came together as one.
Master printmaker Gordan Novak took part in an oil painting workshop at the Pulman International Hotel of Zanghjijaije, China. While wandering the grounds, he and fellow Canadian artist Anong Beam came across large sheets of glass. Being printmakers, they saw opportunity in the reflection of that glass, and took advantage of it. Together they made several monotypes, which soon attracted attention from the other artists in residence. Unplanned and unscheduled, Novak collaborated with 13 artists on their monotype prints. At the end of the workshop, they mounted a show, the results of which were so pleasing that even upon returning to his studio residence in Admiral Saskatchewan, Novak planned the next visit to China.
The artists involved in the workshop and included in this exhibition represent many corners of our world; from China, to Japan, Croatia, Germany, France, The United States and Canada. The workshop and exhibition boasts greatly known artists as well as hidden gems, coming together and working with Novak in his element. A hub of inspiration, one by one Novak worked directly with each artist and with the group as a whole.
Artistic director Stephen Wu of the Zanghjijaijie Oil Painting Art Workshop, and Gordon Novak, inspired by the events in November 2012, are planning to offer Part 2 of the monotype printmaking workshop to take place in October of 2013."Monotype: The China Workshops" – Part 1 will present selections from the portfolio of works produced in November 2012. "Monotype: The China Workshops" – Part 2 will be the sequel, comprised of selections from the second portfolio to be made in October 2013. It will be presented in spring of 2014 at Art Gallery of Swift Current and go on to tour the province and locations across Canada.
Gordan Novak is of Novak Graphics Studio, situated in Admiral, Saskatchewan. Novak Graphics Studio located to Admiral from Edmonton and Toronto in 2009. Gordan Novak is well known for his work with Canadian First Nations artist, Carl Beam. Novak over his career has produced prints with well known artists from around the world. (Malcolm Morley, John Chamberlain & Allan Sonfist (American), Dorothea Rockburne, Jean Paul Riopelle, Tony Sherman, Rob Scholte, Braco Dimitrijevic and many more.)
This exhibition is organized by Art Gallery of Swift Current, Curator Kim Houghtaling.

Contemporary Kites from Around the World
See a great variety of contemporary kites by eighteen artists from around the world. Selected from the kite collections of the Drachen Foundation.
Paper in Flight
Led by an expert in handmade paper, 8 international artists traveled to Kochi, one of Japan's major papermaking centers. In just under a week of work, the artists experienced the art of making "washi", traditional Japanese handmade paper, and incorporated washi in new contemporary kite works.
The art kites in the exhibition "Paper in Flight", demonstrate the utility, strength, and beauty of Japanese handmade paper, long associated with the renowned Japanese kite-making tradition. However, these kites are anything but ordinary. Each artist pursued his or her own approach, exploring unusual formats, innovative structures, unorthodox combinations of materials, and unique subject matter. While nodding to tradition, these kites are flying sculptures, engineered for flight and inventive statements of art intended for the sky.
On loan from the Drachen Foundation, a non-profit corporation devoted to the increase and diffusion of knowledge about kites worldwide.
Showing at Swift Current Museum May 4 to June 30, 2013:
Kites to Kitty Hawk
Human flight has relied on developments made in kite design throughout history. This exhibition presents examples of historical kites known to have contributed to the design of the first airplanes.

"Tome" is an exhibition of expressionist paintings by Swift Current artist Stephanie Kaduck, MFA.
Imagine for a moment if you will, traveling through a landscape at night; what visions pass through you, both real and dreamed? "Tome" by Swift Current artist Stephanie Kaduck tells the visual stories of 'the long night'. Ominous and sensational, these artworks draw you in, consume you, even overwhelm. They are wilderness, perhaps a little scary but always moving and beautiful.
All paintings in this show are landscapes or seascapes, all reference the dark and all have 'conflicted' birds.
"The paintings in this exhibition are chapters from visual books. The stories evolve from experienced night events to reflect inner journeys. These nightscapes are symbolic psychological landscapes; a language of symbols appears in different contexts to define varying circumstances. Memory imagery infuses my study of northern myths, fairytales, and music with a personal expressive vision of what 'the long night' entails. '… it is a part of a language made to speak directly of premonition, warning, surmise, anger, despair'*, in such a way that stasis is not an option, and dawn is the destination." – Stephanie Kaduck
Tome – a large scholarly book; one book in a work of several volumes,
from the Greek "tomos" > a cutting, section > temnein > to cut, cleave

"Mimesis" from Saskatchewan ceramic artist Jody Greenman-Barber, is a celebratory exhibition which presents a dialogue of movement in the vernacular of clay.
Her ceramic pieces attempt to recreate a dance of dynamism through twisting and turning works. Greenman-Barber also incorporates photography into the exhibition to enhance and capture the sense of movement of her ceramics pieces...
Jody Greenman-Barber makes both sculptural and functional wares that have in common her devotion to the wheel. She finds freedom in the movement and energy of the spinning. Increasingly, she thinks of throwing as performance and has produced a very clever animated short exploring her process. She often pushes clay to the point of collapse, piling one pot on another or slashing and altering her forms shortly after removing them from the wheel. Her pots contain an infectious rhythm that is loose, expressive and yet also very disciplined. She has developed an original and independent vision, one that reinvigorates the ethics and aesthetics of the handmade pot.
"I explore traditional and popular concepts of wheel thrown pottery while challenging works that are typically representative of the pottery wheel... Some of my more recent works are an exploration of movement, both in the sense of movement involved in the creation of the vessel forms and, more metaphorically, as a social concept within artistic and craft practices."
- Jody Greenman-Barber.
Jody Greenman-Barber received a BFA in ceramics from the University of Regina in 1998. In 1997, she began teaching pottery. In 2002 she contributed to the establishment of a pottery program at the Last Mountain Lake Cultural Centre where until recently she worked as Artistic Director. Recipient of grants and awards, she has exhibited provincially and internationally. Jody has participated in residencies including the Guldagergaard (International Ceramic Research Centre in Denmark), and Medalta International Artist in Residence in Medicine Hat, Alberta. In 2010 her film "Clay Play" was shortlisted amongst thirty five competing films at the International Clay and Glass Film Festival in France.

This exhibition is organized by Art Gallery of Swift Current in partnership with the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery,
This exhibition presents the work of well-known Canadian artist Carl Beam. "The Columbus Suite" is a series of twelve hand-made prints that were completed in 1990 in response to the 'celebration' of the 500th anniversary of the European 'discovery' of the Americas.
Many people, including those whose ancestors were indigenous to North America, found the celebration ironic and troubling because it represented history as seen from only a European perspective.
In these images, Beam uses historic figures such as Christ, Riel, Sitting Bull, Einstein, Lincoln, Kennedy, Columbus, juxtaposed with numerous historical references and symbols, to make art work that represents a contrasting, yet balanced, assembly of heroes from different cultures.
As Beam writes, "My works are like little puzzles, interesting little games. I play a game of dreaming ourselves as each other. In this we find out that we're all basically human."
"The Columbus Suite" along with other prints and paintings in this exhibition were borrowed from the MJM&AG Permanent Collection and from private collectors in Saskatchewan.
Organized by the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery, Curator, Heather Smith

An exhibition of sculptural work addressing issues of femininity, aging, gender, and body politics by June Jacobs
September 8 to October 28, 2012
"Shift Shaping addresses the human condition and in particular but not solely the transformation of women's lives. It is a subjective record of life's experiences and the journey through significant gates of passage. The process of maturation physically, emotionally, socially, culturally is narrated through the incorporation of various construction techniques, surface embellishment, and presentation of each of the sculptures" – June Jacobs
June Jacobs is a fibre artist working in a variety of forms and well known for her felt works. June Jacobs grew up on a farm near Hodgeville, SK. In 1974, she finished her Home Economics degree at the University of Saskatchewan and started to create works of art. June began making artwork using felt which she produced herself.

Making lavender sachets is fun and easy with this tutorial from Lindsay Obermeyer. The sequin cake sachet smells as good as it looks, and it's got a fancy and whimsical cake motif on the front.
- 1 foot Laura Foster Nicholson's Cake Ribbon
- 1 fat quarter linen or a 24-28 count evenweave cross stitch fabric
- 1 foot 1/4" ribbon (I used a vintage pink ribbon from my stash.)
- 1 package sequins (These are a matte finish with a pearlescent coating)
- 1 bottle Aleene's® Jewel-It Embellishing glue
- 1 spool thread to match 1/4" ribbon
- 1 spool thread to match fabric
- 1 ounce dried lavender
- 1 rotary cutter
- 1 rotary matt
- 1 metal ruler
- 1 pr scissors
- 1 sewing needle
- 1 foot tin foil
- 4-5 pins
- sewing machine
- Measure and cut two 4 3/4" squares of linen using your ruler, rotary cutter and rotary matt.
- Cut your favorite "cake" motif from the ribbon. This square is roughly 2" x 2" in size.
- Pin the ribbon to the center of one piece of linen.
- Machine sew it into place using a straight stitch and only 1/8" seam allowance using the thread to match your 1/4" ribbon. Remove pins.
- Place the 1/4" ribbon around the edge of the "cake" ribbon covering up your machine stitches. Pin the border into place, carefully tucking under the ends.
- Cut an arm length piece of the same sewing thread. Thread your needle and knot the end.
- Hand stitch the 1/4" ribbon into place with a small running stitch. You can machine sew it, but I love the look of hand embroidery.
- Cover your work surface with tin foil. Pour a few sequins onto the foil. Place the embroidered ribbon front of your sachet face up onto the foil and proceed to make small dots of glue around the center image.
- Place one sequin onto each dot of glue. If you are having trouble picking up the sequins, try tweezers.
- Allow to dry.
- Once dry, remove the foil from your work surface. Pin together both squares of linen, face side inward.
- Using the straight stitch, machine sew around the edge of your sachet with a 1/4" seam allowance. Be careful to leave a 1" gap at the bottom edge that you don't stitch.
- Cut the corners close to the edge of your stitched line.
- Turn the fabric rightside out finger pressing the seams flat.
- Fill the sachet with lavender. I found it easier using a spoon rather than a funnel of any kind.
- Hand stitch the gap closed using the ladder stitch.
Your sachet will retain its scent for 2-3 years before needing to be replenished. Enjoy!

It has been my experience that by the time a child being raised in an addictive family reaches the age of nine, he has a well-developed denial system about his feelings and his perceptions of what is happening in the home. Children do whatever they possibly can to bring stability and consistency into their lives. They will behave in any manner if it makes it easier for them to cope and survive. Learning to focus on the environment, or on other people, or learning to detach oneself from the family, assists children in not feeling.
Children learn not to share and, inevitably, deny their feelings. Family members frequently discount and invalidate their feelings. "You have nothing to be afraid of." … when in fact they may very well have something to be afraid of. "You have nothing to be angry about."… when there are often many reasons to be angry, leading to emotional isolation. Being alone with feelings of fear, worry, embarrassment, guilt, anger, loneliness, etc., leads to a state of desperation or being overwhelmed. Such a state of being does not lend itself to survival, so children learn other ways to cope. Some learn how to discount and repress feelings, while others learn simply not to feel. These children do have access to their feelings, but only with the help of a trusted person. For the majority of children growing up with addiction, however, trust and trusted persons are not a consistent part of their lives.

Knoxville (WVLT) -- Shoppers spent an exhausting day on Black Friday making sure they got the best early bird deals.
Volunteer TV's Allison Hunt was up bright and early with the Black Friday shoppers and has more details.
Thousands of shoppers are at West Town mall in search of the best savings.
The National Retail Federation says almost 133 million Americans will hit the stores on Black Friday, and 55 million of them are expected to spend some cash.
The moon usually lights up the night sky, but on Black Friday, there's a glow from the retail heavens that leads shoppers to savings.
"You save 640 dollars on the laptop, you get it for 229, and that's worth your value there and 199 for the desktop saving instantly 420, you do the math," said Torry Martin.
Or do this math, how long did Torry Martin have to wait to be first in line?
"Well, I'm going to own up to being here at 6 a.m. Thanksgiving day, but I'm not gonna say the actual time because you know why? Someone will try to beat me next year!" he said.
And to get through the 24 hour wait, there's nothing like a game of cards.
"Is it gonna hold you over til the doors open?"
"No probably not, cause my fingers are starting to get really cold."
When the doors finally open, there's only one word to describe it.
But that also means a mad dash to the deals.
"I've got lots of Bath and Body Works, soaps and stuff like that...And some clothes for myself," said one shopper.
"25% off everything and then this, I think I got 25% off everything so pretty good," said another.
"Hectic but fun, 'cause you get up at 5:00 a.m. and everything has a lot of sales," said Tristan Cox.
And if you don't *want to find the good deals, you can always find a good couch.
"It's convenient, and it was a place, just convenient."
Or even a spot on the floor.
"My feet hurt...I've been walking around since 5:00 in the morning," said Cox.
When does it end?
"When it gets crowded!" the shoppers told us.
Maybe for some, but the real end to Black Friday isn't until best sales end, the crowds fade and the store lights dim.
And the good news is there's only 365 days until Black Friday next year!

Afterwards, a Labour MP wrote to me to complain that I'd been too soft on Kaminski, leader of Poland's "Law and Justice" party (and chair of the new rightwing alliance in Brussels which includes the Tories). Read more

Unique Vintage Polaroid, ca. 1960–1960
It is now 20 years ago that Wessel + O'Connor first showed the work of Jim French. He'd already been doing it for 25 years, it just hadn't been seen in an "art" context. This exhibition features the original late 1960's vintage Polaroid pictures he took as studies for homoerotic drawings.
While working as a fashion illustrator in New York City, French founded a mail order company called Luger with an old army buddy. His contribution was his drawings of hyper-masculine types such as soldiers, cowboys, and bikers. By 1967, he bought out his partner and under the pseudonym Rip Colt founded the now infamous Colt Studio. As Vince Aletti of The New Yorker wrote: "French revolutionized gay erotica in the nineteen-seventies with photographs of hyper-macho men who looked like Tom of Finland drawings come to life."
Jim French made highly detailed pencil drawings for many Colt Studio books, magazines, and calendars, and turned to the new Polaroid camera to shoot photographs of male models as research studies. Before the 1970's, it had been a challenge getting erotic subject matter that was shot on film processed. The Polaroid Land camera solved all that with it's instant results.
Along with other physique photographers such as Bruce of LA (Bruce Bellas) and Western Photography Guild (Don Whitman), French would become a significant influence on later photographers such as Robert Mapplethorpe, Bruce Weber, and Herb Ritts.
Jim French (b.1932) was formally trained at the Philadelphia Museum School from 1950 to 1954 before joining the armed services in 1955. He settled in New York in 1957, where he would live until 1974, when he relocated to Los Angeles. He has ten published books of his work; including "Man"; "Another Man"; "Jim French Men"; "Quorum"; "Opus Deorum"; "Masc."; "The Art of Jim French"; "The Art of the Male Nude"; and "The Jim French Diaries."
Autographed copies of his latest book, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor from Antinous Press are available through the gallery (Hardcover with Jacket 7.5" w x 9.75" h, 116 B&W and Color images, 144 pages).

Crabtree falls to Niners at No. 10
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- When Michael Crabtree unexpectedly slipped to the 10th pick in Saturday's NFL draft, the San Francisco 49ers eagerly caught their highest-profile receiver since Terrell Owens left town.
Crabtree claimed he was delighted to join the 49ers after his record-setting career at Texas Tech, where he won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best college receiver after each of his two seasons. He was widely considered the best pass-catcher in the draft, and San Francisco was thrilled to address its longtime dearth of star talent at the position where Jerry Rice, Dwight Clark, John Taylor and Owens once excelled.
"We had no idea he would be there at 10," coach Mike Singletary said. "It was one of the last scenarios we thought we would end up with. He's been one of the best guys, the past couple of years in college football."
Crabtree is among the college game's most dynamic playmakers of recent years, catching 231 passes for 3,127 yards and 41 touchdowns in the Red Raiders' spread offense. Yet he clearly slipped in several teams' estimation when a stress fracture was discovered in his left foot at the combine.
He underwent surgery that scuttled much of his pre-draft workout schedule while he rested his foot in a protective boot, never running a 40-yard dash. He's not expected to participate fully in next weekend's minicamp while continuing his recovery, but should be ready for training camp.
Nine teams passed on him -- including the cross-Bay rival Oakland Raiders, who went with Maryland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey with the seventh pick. While Crabtree's statistics dwarf Heyward-Bey's accomplishments with the Terrapins, the Raiders apparently thought Crabtree wasn't fast enough to fit their needs.
"My whole thing was patience," Crabtree said. "I was just trying to be patient. I like the 49ers. I grew up watching the 49ers and Cowboys. It's a great history behind the 49ers. A lot of people have played there, and I have big shoes to fill."
The developments delighted the 49ers' draft room, where the club's selection process suddenly became easy when Jacksonville didn't choose Crabtree with the eighth pick.
"I really didn't think it would happen," general manager Scot McCloughan said. "That's a long way for a guy like that to fall, to 10. ... He's the closest thing I've seen to Anquan Boldin in college football. He's a highly competitive guy that's not afraid to make plays."
Crabtree was the 49ers' only selection on the draft's first day after they traded their second-round and fourth-round picks to Carolina for the Panthers' first-round pick in 2010. McCloughan said he didn't have a player on his draft board who justified the salary that would be required for the 43rd overall pick.
With remarkable catching skills, a solid blocking technique and what Texas Tech coach Mike Leach described as an inexhaustible work ethic, Crabtree clearly is the biggest addition to the 49ers' receiving corps since Owens left after the 2003 season.
Crabtree doesn't shy from praises of his talent.
"When I played quarterback, I always wanted a receiver ... where I could just throw it up and he could go get it," Crabtree said. "Or if I threw a pass, I knew he was going to cut in front of that DB and not let the interception happen, and make a play. I said I wanted to play receiver as soon as I got to college, and I kept that with me, and I'm never going to turn back."
San Francisco has had some of the NFL's least impressive groups of pass-catchers since then, struggling through five years with few solid receivers for quarterbacks Alex Smith and Shaun Hill, but their targets should be a whole lot more impressive next year. Isaac Bruce will be back for another season alongside Arnaz Battle, returning youngsters Josh Morgan and Jason Hill, and free-agent signee Brandon Jones.
Singletary doesn't yet know where Crabtree will play, although McCloughan sees him as a split end.
"We'll figure it out," Singletary said. "You've got a playmaker. He's going to have to earn his way on, but the most important thing is that we know we have a playmaker."
Leach was effusive about Crabtree's toughness and tenacity. He also responded harshly to pundits and unnamed NFL coaches who have labeled Crabtree as a high-maintenance prima donna.
"There's no diva in him, and part of that is because he's too shy to do that," Leach said. "He's got people around him that want to share in his experience and share in this moment, but when all that's over, Michael knows it's a whole lot of time in the film room by himself, a whole lot of time in the weight room. ... I've seen Michael Crabtree run from the spotlight more than I've seen him chase the spotlight."
