I hate annorexic and i really hare alcoholics, they are the worst people in the world. I just hope that you distance yourself from anyone that claims to be an alcoholic or anyone that is annorexic, they are just horrible people. Deep down on the inside they are just evil stupid people that deserve to be alone. Im sorry that you had to put up with a person like that but just hold your head up high that you are not dumb enough to be one of them.
Anorexic people are just attnetion whores that think people will feel sorry for them. Alcoholics are the same thing, its a terrible combo. To make matters worse is that many people think that it is a disease. I think its a disease but i think the disease is called laziness and irresponsibility, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU i hate poeple

Thank you so much for all of your lovely replies!!!!
Very much appreciate them and Thank you again!
I told my mum last night that i might be moving to my granparents and she didnt like one bit of it, caused a massive row like everything as per usual!!
Not sure whether to move to theirs or get a place at the YMCA. If i got to the YMCA i will need to find a place to put my pets for tempory as i have a dog, 2 ferrets, 2 hamsters and 2 rats lol! I will be able to get a place quicker that way i guess..
I was genuinlly concerned today as over a space of time ive notcied her belly swell, so i told her and she agreed and said she has notcied it to and she knows its to do with her liver. I went out of a bit and so did she and when i came home my mum arrived back about 30 mins later ranting and raving because i called her fat.
She is really really getting to me, i cant stand her. Most of the time i think well its not her fault its the illness but shes had more than help to get herself better if she wanted to get better anyway!
So many times ive tried to tell her how i feel and how she makes me feel and i point out to her its because of her (Theres alot of other stuff thats happend in my life aswell) im suprised im not insane! but she doesnt like it, she denys it or comes out with stuff thats happend to her, its always her her her and no consideration for me ever i find it so irresponsible and mean!
On the other hand though, You guys have been a Giant Star!!!!

will your grandparents let you bring the pets? If so, try that. Since your mother is not talking with them (and vice versa), you should be left at peace there. That way, you can keep the pets and be in a safer place. Just start working and saving like crazy so you can build up money to move out and maybe share a place with a nice girl your age or even the boyfriend if you two are getting serious.
wishing you best of luck

Today my mum let my ferrets loose out of spite and it was by pure luck that i found them if it wasnt for a young boy neighbour telling me his friends mum found a ferret and luckly that woman who had (alfie) knew who had my other ferret (ralphy).. I feel so blessed that i found them but i cant believe a supposed ''mother'' would do such a thing!!!

I am so glad you found the ferrets. That was just plain mean-spirited to let them go. They could have been lost forever or killed. You have to get those pets out of there and you too!!

I am sad to hear about your mother.
Right now, you need all the love you can get, and nobody gives unconditional love like animals. So, I suggest you take the animals and go to your grandparents.
I hope your mother sees what she is doing to herself, and you. What she must do, she must do alone.

You will find that addicts and some with untreated mental health issues, do all they can to manipulate people into taking care of them and taking on responsibility for them! its perfectly normal for your mum to behave in this way, given her circumstances.
However, you are not her parent, her nurse, her therapist, nor her nursemaid. This is not your responsibility! you didn't cause it and you can't fix it.
While you are living with her, you are protecting her from herself on some level. If you are not living there, she has to face herself. Addicts do not recover unless or until they hit rock bottom. They have to seek help out themselves, if you do it for them, you are enabling.
!st thing I would do, is google enabling and co dependency, you may find some interesting and thought provoking information.
2nd thing, move out! Do not abandon her, just build your own life. You could find some details of organisations who will help her, tell her you love her, but you are now going to put your self first.
After that, its up to you how much you involve yourself. I have dealt with similar but with my ex and my child. I explained I chose to not have such destructive influences in my life, if I wanted that lifestyle I would drink/take drugs myself. I stepped back. I did make it very clear that if they wanted to change their lifestyle and were prepared to put the effort it, I would then step forward and support them.
But at all times, they should make their own choices, they have the right to do so, but so do I!!!!!!!!
Its hard to live with after leaving, but gets easier over time. Your mum is a person, she has choices, she chooses to drink, to not eat etc. I stuck this out for 7 years and the emotional damage it caused me was dreadful at the time. I am now much more healthy on an emotional level, my child is a changed person and we are rebuilding our relationship! It can work, but you need to stop being drawn in to taking responsibility.
If you want more personal advice, send me a pm, ive done some training in these fields, have an eating disorder myself, been through so much with addiction, im happy to share what I know,
Do not allow your mothers illness to control you any longer. You are worth more than that.

Hey, wondering how things are going in your life? Were you able to move out? Get a job? Find help with the pets?
Thinking of you.

Living with an addict or alcoholic is a unique situation. Being the child of one, in their household, exposes you to types of stress which are very hard to relate to.
Others have suggested you attend an AA meeting, which I strongly support, so that you can view the functioning network of support, and see that people do recover. In addition to that, you may find a group in your area called Alanon, which is intended particularly for those who are family or friend to an alcoholic. You may find others in this type of group who are going through the same things you are.
The important thing, which these groups will help with, is seeing that many of our attempts to 'help' the addict in our lives are in fact letting this person dig themselves deeper. In these groups, you can discuss the nuance of what is helpful for you, and helpful for them; and what simply enables their addiction.
She is your mother, but it sounds like very little 'mothering' is going on. You have nothing to gain from staying there, and it gives your mother some comfort in the 'status quo.' It may take her seeing her life fall apart, people abandoning her, to realize what she's messed up. You can be in her life during this time, but try and keep it mediated and recovery oriented (e.g. you'll see her, even buy her dinner, but then you go to AA together).
You will not be able to have a rational discussion with her over these things, until she has been off of the substance for a considerable time. Until then, the chemical circuits which underlie rational are hijacked, and your words will not have an effect. This is not a situation between just two people: the substance has such a powerful force, you will need a team. Alanon and AA meetings happen every night of the week, in even the most modest of towns. These are real people you can speak with, who want to help: you need to go to them.

Thank you for seeing how i am, Thats very nice of you.
Things with my mum has become worse but i'm riding it out for the time being as i am writting a massive essay on her to give to my doctor so hopefully my housing application may move more quickly, as i have no way of getting £1500 to get a private flat.
It's got so bad at the moment that i have actually put it down to her Bullying and Harassing me, she just won't leave me alone. But i know the more infomation i can get on paper the more i will have a chance of getting out quicker.
Hope your well, and thank you again for your concern

Hang in there! Sounds as if you have a plan of action to help yourself and I hope things work out well for you.
Just think: If you can get a flat, you can have peace and quiet, have fun, have privacy, have safety...and start building a future and a great life. You can love your mom from a safe distance. Maybe she'll get help once you leave, maybe she won't. She is an adult, and she has had opportunities for help that she has refused/ignored. People have free will. You are not responsible for another person's choices, no matter if they are a family member or friend. You are important too. You matter, too.
Wish you all the best!

COLCA CANYON Description (Arequipa Peru) |
COLCA CANYON (Arequipa Peru) Colca Canyon is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru. It is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Arequipa. It is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States. However, the canyon's walls are not as vertical as those of the Grand Canyon. The Cotahuasi Canyon to the northwest is a deeper canyon at 11,488 ft (3,501 m). Since they are such major features of the landscape, the Colca and Cotahuasi canyons are both easily recognizable in even low-resolution satellite photos of the region. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with towns founded in Spanish Colonial times and formerly inhabited by the Collaguas and the Cabanas. The local people still maintain ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces. The Colca River starts high in the Andes at Condorama Crucero Alto and changes its name to Majes, and then to Camana before reaching the Pacific Ocean. Parts of the canyon are habitable, and Inca and pre-Inca terraces are still cultivated along the less precipitous canyon walls. The small town of Chivay is on the upper Colca River, where the canyon is not so deep but where many terraces are present in the canyon and continue for many kilometers downstream. As the canyon deepens downriver, a series of small villages is spread out over the approximately 35 miles (56 km) between Chivay and the village of Cabanaconde. The canyon reaches its greatest depth and, in contrast, about 15 miles (24 km) to the southeast rises the 20,630-ft (6,288-m) Nevado Ampato, a snow-capped extinct volcano. The valley lies in the Callalli and Huambo districts of the Caylloma Province ATTRACTIONS The La Calera natural hot springs are located at Chivay, the biggest town in the Colca Canyon.

The DNC theme: Building An Economy From The Middle Out Illustrated (Pic)
The DNC kicks off today and it has a sexy new theme!
Democratic National Convention leaders rolled out a theme of "building an economy from the middle out."
All speakers at the convention that officially opens Tuesday will touch on that theme, Ben LeBolt, spokesman for President Obama's campaign, said at the opening news conference of the convention.
Given how the economy has been doing for the middle class during Obama's first term, here's an illustration of what the Dems seem to mean by "building the economy from the middle out."

Saving people is a really hard task - it won't always work. But what you can do is love them, make them feel special and let them know there's someone who cares about them and that their life is worth living.
Love is the exact opposite of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Actions speak louder than words.
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:9-10)

Tia Mowry is definitely on top of her game. She just landed a leading role in the ABC Family Movie Mistle-Tones. Tia will play Holly, whose character is described as being charming with a strong singing voice, though she's not very aggressive.
The movie synopsis is centered around her auditioning for the Mistle-Tones, which is the singing group her mother founded forty years ago. But, she ends up losing the spot to the best friend of the group's unofficial leader Marci (played by Tori Spelling). So, Holly sets out to create a new group and takes the Mistle-Tones on in a singing competition.
Tia is keeping herself pretty busy with the shooting of the second season of Tia & Tamera as well as working on her upcoming book, OH, BABY!: Pregnancy Tales and Advice from One Hot Mama to the Next (Gotham Books) will be released on May 14.
The shooting of the film will start in about a week or so but no particular air date at this time.

The Wapakoneta Redskins remain fourth in the latest high school football computer ranking released by the Ohio High School Athletic Association Tuesday afternoon. Wapak (8-0) trails Trotwood-Madison (8-0), Kings Mills Kings (8-0) and Tipp City Tippecanoe in the Division II, Region 8 points. Only the top eight teams in points in each region qualify for the playoffs. The top four teams will have a home game for their playoff opener.
Rick Thomes, 55, of Wapakoneta, OH was found dead Monday Oct. 17, 2011 at his residence. An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of his death. Arrangements are being completed with the Miller Funeral Homes in St. Marys.
Eva Marie Briggs, 92, of Wapakoneta, died at 2:42 p.m., Sunday Oct. 16, 2011, at Wapakoneta Manor. She was born July 8, 1919, in Sidney, the daughter of Eva Marie (Fogt) and Charles Evans Hughes. She was raised by Ida Mabel (Knittle) and Henry Edwin Wise of Islandview, Lakeview. On Nov. 9, 1940, she married Clinton Franklin Briggs, and he died May 18, 1981.
The sidewalk issue is baaaaack. And this time it has company — curbs and gutters. Wapakoneta City Council 1st Ward Councilor Jim Neumeier, who has voiced his opposition to the assessment process for curbs, gutters and sidewalks, objected to assessments being levied against property owners along the recently completed Hamilton Street project. He also wanted an explanation regarding no assessments being levied on property owners along Mechanic Street from Park Street to South Blackhoof Street.
WAYNESFIELD — Waynesfield-Goshen Board of Education members interviewed three people during an executive session Monday to fill the seat of interim superintendent. The position is being vacated because Superintendent Joanne Kerekes, who announced her intent to resign and take a position with the state's Race to the Top program, plans to begin work with the state on Nov. 1. The three chosen for interviews were from a list of eight candidates who submitted resumes for the position. J. Chris Pfister, Randy Earl, and Susan Miko were all given interviews during the executive session.
Peddlers of natural gas deals should not be tolerated, a city administrator says. Wapakoneta Safety-Service Director Bill Rains informed Wapakoneta City Council members at their meeting Monday that Police Chief Russ Hunlock did not issue any permits for door-to-door salesmen to offer natural gas contracts. "They tend to get real aggressive," Rains said, "and we still offer our natural gas aggregation program which is very affordable."
No one-year wonders here. After an impressive 7-3 season in 2010 that saw the Wapakoneta Redskins football team miss the playoffs by the narrowest of margins, football is buzzing again in Wapakoneta. As a result, the varsity squad has jumped out to an even stronger mark this year with an 8-0 start. However, the junior varsity Redskins are showing that the arrival of varsity coach Doug Frye is not just a brief fling. In relative obscurity, the junior varsity team is following up the varsity squad with some impressive wins of its own.

From Staff Reports KENTON — Both the Wapakoneta Redskins varsity boys and girls cross country teams finished seventh overall in the Western Buckeye League meet Saturday at the Hardin County Fairgrounds in Kenton. Wapak's top boys finisher was senior Caleb Hennon, who placed 17th individually with a time of 18:08. Freshman Hayden Brandenhoff finished 36th with a 19:03. Rounding out the Wapak top seven were sophomore Sam Harrod (52nd, 19:29), freshman Sam Bowers (57th, 19:43), junior John Martin (58th, 19:44), sophomore Billy Butler (64th, 20:03) and junior Ryan O'Neil (69th, 20:16).
VAN WERT — It wasn't the greatest of starts. Fortunately for the Wapakoneta Redskins, the Van Wert Cougars aren't the greatest of football teams. Wapak fumbled the ball away on two if its first three plays but bounced back and dominated in a 77-12 shellacking of the Cougars in a Western Buckeye League game Friday night at Eggerss Stadium in Van Wert. The Redskins' 77 points eclipsed the previous single-game scoring record of 62 points set in a win over Perry in 1967. The Redskins remained unbeaten on the season at 8-0 overall and 7-0 in the WBL. Van Wert is 0-8, 0-7.

SEATTLE— OUTSIDE, it was the kind of soupy spatter of a day that keeps the rest of the country from moving here.
Inside, Bill Nye, the Science Guy -- the hipper, hyper Mr. Wizard of the 1990's whose frenetic children's science show has a television audience of more than three million viewers in the United States and Canada -- had just employed the principles of physics and chemistry to position three logs in his fireplace, just so. He applied a match, and they burst gloriously into flame all at once, perfectly demonstrating the properties of the kindling point, which he had just explained.
''Science,'' he cried victoriously.
Lunch with Mr. Nye is a flashing series of moments like this, as when a head of lettuce struck him as so dazzling an expression of the laws of the universe and of man's understanding that he was reduced to a level of wonder that could be rendered only in italics. As in, ''This is so cool.''
On television, his bludgeoning enthusiasm, high-energy presentation and MTV-paced segments have gained him such a following that his show, ''Bill Nye the Science Guy,'' has won two Emmy Awards, and last week it was nominated for eight more, including one for best children's show. The syndicated half-hour show, which appears on both PBS and commercial television, has also won the loud admiration of the White House -- particularly of Vice President Al Gore, who cites it as a model for how children's programs can be both entertaining and educational.
In person, Mr. Nye, 41, is slower, calmer, his voice deeper. And his comic routines vary from high-pitched Three Stooges-style humming, as he grills salmon on his deck in the rain, to the classroom schtick of asking, ''This is -- what? Anyone?'' when there is only one other person around.
But the theme is the same, whether he is on television or at lunch: he is helplessly smitten by science and determined to make others feel the same way. His in-your-face awe can be disconcerting when it is inches away instead of on the screen, but only the most hopeless ignoramus would ever suggest that he chill out.
Consider, as he would say, the following. In the kitchen of his storybook brick Seattle house overlooking Puget Sound, he pulled a package of Land O Lakes butter out of the refrigerator.
''This is where I first pondered the infinite,'' Mr. Nye said, building up toward italic intensity. ''The lovely Indian maid has a box of butter, and on that box of butter is another Indian maid, and so there must be another box with another Indian maid. That's why I bought this butter.''
Turning on some background music provided a chance to demonstrate the remote-control signal's ability to bounce off a wall in his living room. Because the wall is white, he said, it acts as a heat-reflecting mirror, so that the infrared light from the remote control bounces off the wall and back to the stereo.
''Everybody has a remote control,'' he said. ''Yet, a lot of people have no idea how they work, don't realize you can bounce it off the wall, which is fabulously cool.''
A few more of these discussions -- about the stress that is induced when Mr. Nye whomps a head of lettuce on the counter to detach its heart, about what the structure of a bowl says about gravity, about what the water tower seen from his kitchen window says about sanitation -- and it became ever clearer that Mr. Nye is an ambassador for people who see the world differently from most, who incessantly think about and actually understand a great many of the processes at work in the daily world around them, ranging from what makes it rain to what makes tape stick. And his mission is to change the rarity of his point of view.
A mention of vaccines mutated into what his show's scripts call a rant: ''Every inch, every centimeter of this is science, science, science! And you can't take it for granted, and that's what motivates me, that's what makes me this raving, crazy science nut. And it is so cool. Now, look around this room. Look around this room. Very hard to find anything not made by humans, isn't it? What about that lettuce? Well, it wouldn't have grown to that snappy greenness without humans riding it.
''And you can't run around taking it all for granted, I'm telling you. That will be our undoing as a society, if we keep this stuff up. Because you can't have it understood by just a few, an elite. That's a formula for disaster. Suppose they decide to quit coming to work, or suppose they make a big mistake?
''What I'm trying to do,'' he added, ''is to get young people excited about science, so in the future we'll have more scientists.''
Mr. Nye says he considers himself lucky that, during his childhood in the other Washington -- the nation's capital -- and during his engineering-major years at Cornell University, he was naturally part of the science in-crowd (read: nerds, he said). So, technical topics hold no fear for him. Not even rocket science.
''Rocket science is not that hard,'' said Mr. Nye, who was an engineer for the Boeing Company and Sundstrand Data Control near Seattle before he quit to become full-time comedian in 1986. ''At least the first couple of cuts of rocket science. You know, 'We'll get this thing burning, and we'll put it on this end.' ''

As time moves on and "The 60s" and "The 70s" become not so much historical periods as media creations, it's harder to take for granted what the significant cultural touchstones of those eras actually mean to current-day society. Some of the artists that were once universally appreciated are slipping from memory, while others are having difficulty translating to new generations. The furor greeting each new Beatles enterprise shows their music and image are indeed proving timeless, and they remain relevant for teenagers and septuagenarians alike—but other giants from the late 1960s and early 70s aren't having it so easy. The Who's stock has plummeted in the last decade, and it's getting tougher to find anyone under 35 who cares about a note of their music made after 1971. The Rolling Stones have been at it so long that it's difficult for younger people to believe that they were once actually good. Pink Floyd still reach some alienated kids, but their most devoted fans are among the graybeard audiophile set. And then there's Led Zeppelin.
Zeppelin occupies a unique place among this group of bands, in part because their position was hard to pin down while they were active. They were unimaginably popular from 1969 to 1980, but critical respect was elusive. Their suspect reputation has been somewhat overstated (in the U.S., Rolling Stone panned them early on but eventually came around, while Creem and Circus took them seriously all along) but Led Zeppelin never quite registered with the intelligentsia. They made the heaviest hard rock records ever recorded, but their lyrics tended toward loopy mysticism when they weren't either stealing ideas outright or wallowing in a kind of hedonism where misogyny was a given.
In 2014, Led Zeppelin is typically viewed through one of three lenses: those among the 50-plus set who were actually there hear their music with a nostalgic ear, remembering the days of their youth. There are those who grew up with the assumption that Led Zeppelin were important—let's say 30 to 50 years old—hear them filtered through a second wave of nostalgia, from movie titles like Dazed and Confused and the memory of classic rock radio. To these people (including me), Zeppelin defined an otherworldly image of '70s rock deities, conquering the world on the strength of volume, arena shows, and the baddest riffs the world had ever heard. And then there's the younger set for whom Zep might seem a little comical, a faintly embarrassing relic from another era even as a certain amount of the music remains undeniable. In one sense, this latter group have more in common with the skeptical critics of the first wave, possessing expectations of "what music should be" that don't necessarily apply for a band that sounds like this.
These reissues of Zeppelin's first three albums are an attempt to reach all of these people, using every tool at the band and label's disposal. The primary reason these sets are being presented and received as a Big Deal is that they are the first reissues of the digital era (and here I'm using the term to include CDs, which means we're going back more than 30 years) to include bonus material. The reissues are remastered and are packaged with bonus discs that include previously unreleased live material and studio cuts. The PR push surrounding a big reissue in 2014 inevitably involves sharing things that can spread on social media and hence reach younger kids, while other elements—unheard versions, improved sound—ostensibly entice older fans to re-buy the records.
Jimmy Page, always Led Zeppelin's sonic architect, heard the blues differently. He heard it as sound first, rather than a form or tradition or product of personalities—maybe that's why he felt so cavalier about "borrowing" from blues records without attribution, since you can't copyright a sound—and he understood the trance-inducing element of blues repetition better than anyone: blues as a consciousness-expanding ritual. All of this is clear from the very beginning, as Led Zeppelin is one of music's most assured and fully realized debuts; individually, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham were great players, but the whole of their sound somehow exceeded the sum of its parts. But even above the instrumental virtuosity, Led Zeppelin is a triumph of production, each part clear and forceful but adding up to something even more powerful.
Just about everything Zep would do at one point is presented here somewhere—trance-rock ("Dazed and Confused"), gorgeous acoustic folk ("Black Mountain Side"), catchy guitar pop ("Good Times Bad Times"), updates on straight blues ("I Can't Quit You Baby"). They'd do most of these things better later, but this is where they appeared first. Zep sounded so brilliant right out of the gate because Page was already a veteran of the music scene when they started; working as a session guitarist and later with the Yardbirds, he took in the scene and saw what was missing. As much as Zeppelin understood music, at this point words were more or less just sounds.
Led Zeppelin also set the tone for a decade of dippy lyrics. If Zep was never accepted as hip in some circles, it's partly because of the knuckle-dragging worldview of songs like "Dazed and Confused". It's hard not to laugh or cringe in 2014 when hearing a line like "Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard-earned pay/ Try and love you baby but you push me away," but it's equally difficult not to acknowledge that Robert Plant delivers them with a certain histrionic power. And then a bar later, John Bonham's slow fills and Page's terrifying guitar screech come in, and the true meaning of the music is found.
It's truly impossible to oversell how brilliantly these records are produced; "rock" as an idea is really a '70s idea, and Led Zeppelin established what that would mean and what it would sound like, which was as much a matter of arrangement as it was knowing where to set the microphones, how high to mix the bass. You can hear that on the bonus disc to the first album, which was recorded live in Paris in 1969 and aired on radio. The recording fidelity, for a release by such a major band, is remarkably poor—which goes to show how well the vaults have already been cleared out—but there's no doubting just how much this band could rip in their first year. Of particular note is the attack of Plant's singing, as he comes over like the unhinged 22-year-old he was. The earliest live recordings by bands are so exciting in large part because the vocalist hasn't yet learned how to pace himself; Plant sings these songs like Zeppelin might last a year and this is his one chance to get it right. By the late '70s, purely as a matter of survival, he'd learn how to coast on stage.
There is no arguing with a riff. It's a conversation-ender, something resistant to analysis that strips away the intellectual to situate the music in a purely physical space. Of the 100 greatest guitar riffs in the history of rock music, Jimmy Page might have written 20, and a good number of those can be found on Led Zeppelin's second album from 1969. If you or someone close to you has ever been within 10 feet of a radio tuned to a classic rock station, you've heard them all, many times—maybe too many. For every young person who discovers "Whole Lotta Love" and "Heartbreaker" and "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)", there's an older person who gets sick of them from overplay and doesn't need to ever hear them again. Part of the challenge and excitement of revisiting a record upon reissue is trying to hear the music again with fresh ears, seeing if you can tap into that feeling of discovery that came from hearing it the first time. When I'm able to mentally put myself into this place— the kid who got his driver's license a month ago, driving around listening to II on tape—the reissue sounds as thrilling as ever.
Every track on this record is musically brilliant, and in the span of just a few months it's amazing how much Page had enriched the band's sound. Chiming acoustic guitars provide the contrast to the crunch in a whole new way on "Ramble On" and "Thank You", offering yet another template for mixing folk with proto-metal. "Whole Lotta Love" might have gotten the band sued by Willie Dixon, but there was no sonic precedent for it in rock music—it's a sound that would have been unimaginable without the rise of drug culture. If you are not a drummer, it's hard to imagine listening to "Moby Dick" very often, but better evidence of John Bonham's genius is found elsewhere on the record. Zep's rhythmic underpinning, especially the locked-in tandem of Jones and Bonham, was always their secret weapon, the thing that divided them from contemporaries like Black Sabbath. They could swing, they loved James Brown and Motown, and they took pride in the fact that people would dance at their shows. The bonus disc is a mildly interesting amalgam of alternate mixes and rough takes—the kind of stuff anyone but the most dedicated obsessives will listen to only once—and there's little advance here lyrically from the debut, but II is still close to perfect.
III is, indirectly, Led Zeppelin's own version of Pink Floyd's Meddle—the folky, pretty early record that was never too popular and hence a favorite of indie types skeptical of such a massive mainstream band. That it opens with "Immigrant Song", one of their top few rockers, only makes the later acoustic loveliness that much more affecting. The strings laid atop the acoustic guitar on "Friends" foreshadow "Kashmir"; "Tangerine" has an amazing tension between the minor-key verses and the open, joyous chorus, as good an example of any of Zep as a pop band. The melancholy ache of "That's the Way" is Zep with their guard down—it goes down as easy as a great Cat Stevens song—and then by the end of the record things start to get a little weird, with the heavy acoustic hoedown of "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" and the acid-fried chug of the blues standard "Shake 'em on Down", a nod to the hypnotic one-chord version by Mississippi Fred McDowell. III has easily the best bonus material too, including a fantastic unreleased version of the old blues song "Keys to the Highway". Depending on your age, you might remember III as "the one with the Viking kittens song" or "the one with that pretty song that played during an interlude of Almost Famous"; for someone who doesn't necessarily want to be inundated with songs and riffs that became clichés, it might be the best place to start.
For some, the interest in these sets is the remastering, an alleged improvement in sound, which makes sense for a band so song-oriented. I've always thought that Zeppelin, like Neil Young, were best heard from nice-sounding pressings from the '70s that were utterly ubiquitous in used LP bins in the '80s and '90s. Back then, you could collect the entire Zeppelin catalog for something like $30, where the inferior sounding early CD masters would run you more like $150.
These days the gap between different versions seems to be closing. I attended a listening session for these reissues in New York, hosted by Jimmy Page, and at one point he was asked which version sounded best, vinyl or CD. Page responded with saying the best version was the original analog tape, but "unfortunately I can't invite you all 'round to listen to it." Suffice to say that these remasters sound very good, a bit louder but not overly so, but we're likely reaching a point of diminishing returns. That said, I'm very glad these new remasters and the attendant publicity push exist, to get us all listening to and talking about Led Zeppelin again, where they stand and what they might mean. However you feel about them and their brand of ultra-huge arena rock, there has never been another band like them, before or since.

Happy Birthday, Wendy Everly!
So Switched has been out for over a week, and the response has been pretty great.
I spent last week in New York doing some press, and not blogging nearly as much as I wanted to. Doing interviews is more work than it sounds. I did a great interview with NPR, which aired yesterday, and based on the replies I got, I'd say a lot of people heard it & liked it. I also did a radio interview with a BBC station, but I'm not sure when/where that will air, because I'm not nearly familiar enough with the BBC as I'd liked to be.
I also taped a segment for the hit daytime talk show Anderson starring the silver fox himself, Anderson Cooper. It was pretty much the most terrifying/fun/surreal thing I've ever done in my life. I'm not sure exactly when it will air, but the producers told me they thought it'd be somewhere around the 13th. But you're DVRing it everyday, anyway, right? ;)
I also did a meet and greet with a few local book bloggers in New York. That was actually really cool, and it was awesome to be able to have a conversation with them in real life. It's something I'd definitely want to do again. You can check out more about that at Good Choice Reading, where they have pics and a really awesome giveaway: here.
I'm back home in Minnesota now, enjoying a few more days with my friends, family, and menagerie of animals before I hit the road again for a big tour in the UK, Italy, and Spain. Over the next couple days, I'll be doing some local press, and a book signing in Rochester, MN at Barnes & Noble.
Right now, I'm sleepy, and should be sleeping, I wasn't sleepy like twenty minutes so I decided to give up on sleep after tossing and turning for 3 hours in bed since I have get up at 4 in the morning to drive to Iowa to do an interview for KIMT. But now I'm tired, and I don't think I should sleep, because then I'll be super tired, and won't get up in time to get ready, and I'll be on TV looking gross, and nobody wants to see me on TV looking gross.
Anyway. I'll try to be better about blogging. And after Anderson airs, I plan to post more about the taping of the episode.
Oh! And have you guys read "The Vittra Attacks?" I'm seriously dying to know what people think of it.

I just started reading "Switched" and can't put it down! Addictive read... Can't wait to read more..
ReplyDelete Happs Burf Wendy, and nice work! You das bomb.
<3 George
GeorgeGable.ComHey Amanda I recently started a blog of my own and was wondering if you could check it out, (it's not about writing or books =) and if you thought it was something your interested in, if you could perhaps give me a post on one of your blogs.
On another note...ur books are awesome!Hey Amanda-
I'm a fellow traveler (i.e., indie urban-fantasy writer), and follow the blogs of you and a number of other fantasy writers because of that. We're all in this together, right?
Anyway, it sounds like you're currently very busy doing the promotional thing and as a result have too little time to blog. As such, I wondered if you might be interested in a guest post. That way, your blog wouldn't "go dark" for as long and it would give me a chance to increase name recognition.
Samples of my posts can be found on my own blog, and all of my guest-blogging is available via the "John Around The Internet" tab.
Many thanks, and I look forward to seeing the CNN interview.

LeeAnn Cleverly Happy Birthday Wendy!!
I'm reading the trilogy again since I became obsessed with it last year :) I was so bummed I missed your panel at Comic-Con in San Diego over the summer standing in one of a thousand lines :( I am really glad you are getting so much exposure since you're writing is awesome!
Best Wishes to you!

Hi Amanda
The BBC interview aired over the weekend (7/8th January). Hey Amanda,
Its amazing how you managed to write independently and sell so well. I've also written something and also began a blog. I have written an Ebook that is so cool, I know because it has taken me years to complete it.

I love all of your books, I have just finished the second Hollows book and am hoping there will be a third. Where do I find the "Vittra Attacks" story? Thanks so much! Amanda, I remember the early days of your blogging before you had much success and you debated giving up writing altogether. I am really glad you didn't give up. Have fun on tour, but remember to get as much rest as you can and ask friends and family for space and time if you need rest. Things will get back to normal eventually. ~Rocky

I say this is the most lovingly way, you schmuck!!! What a great trip it sounds like you are about to go on! I hope you get to spend some of it touring around, and not only doing interviews and book signings! You are so lucky...well, not really, you did work hard for this! Have a great and safe trip!

I heard your interview on the BBC on Open Book on Radio 4 with Mariella Frostrup. It sounded interesting, and I had never heard of ypur writing before, so clearly it works! All the best to you.

Wow, congratulations I have read most of your books and I love them, can't wait for the movie.

Switched was the first of your books I have read and I am happy I did. I read a lot of paranormal but yours were refreshing. I am very much looking to read Torn when it comes out in ereader form. Thanks for the Vittra story as it made it more intriguing. Thinking the king is her father???
ReplyDelete I loved the book Switched and have to wait until March for Torn, UGH! But can't wait. Also enjoyed the Vittra Attacks. Is there going to be more of this to follow? I will be checking out your other books now that I have read this one. Especially since I got my KindleFire for Christmas and you have ebooks! YES! Again, thank you for coming out with a new idea!
ReplyDeleteSincere congratulations on all of your literary success over the past couple of years! Truly, you have accomplished a remarkable feat in the ebook world. I respect that you receive a tremendous amount of comments, email, etc., and do not have the time to personally respond to each and every post.
I just want to state that you served as a source of inspiration for my deciding to self-publish my own work on Amazon. After the struggles to get published over many years, I finally chose to simply put my work out there. As of this point, I have only one book that chronicles when I worked as a clown and costume character for children – it is humorous, quirky, yet has a literary non-fiction feel. But, I plan to publish a series as well, of the fiction variety. Most importantly, I send my gratitude to you as your story is a wonderful one, and it is rare in today's world.
On a side note, I look forward to reading Switched. I am quite excited as my own birthday is January 9…great day, isn't? Given I have my own little ones now; birthdays are all the rage in our household, so blowing out the candles is a momentous event all around.
As a small token of my thankfulness for the inspiration you provided, I sent you a gift of my own ebook for Kindle. (I sent it within a message to your email) It is titled "Touched in the Head – A Tale of Characters, Clowns, and Imaginary Misfits – Based on a Number of True Stories" by me, Rebecca Reitz. (http://amazon.com/author/rebeccareitz)
The clown on the cover was crocheted/created by me, as I too have a love for all things creepily adorable and muppet oriented. The clown is featured in the book along with her friends in a 12 month saga that appears as a tiny feature after chapter 2. It is silly. I hope that time allows you the opportunity to read the book (or parts of it) one day in the future.
Again, all of my luck is with you as you continue forth on your journey as a writer!
My Best,
Rebecca Reitz- AnonymousJanuary 17, 2012 at 4:06 PM
I discovered your books 2 years ago when I would be awake in the middle of the night caring for a newborn baby. I searched Kindle and $2.99 seemed like a bargain. I read Switched and loved it. Exhausted and having a new baby, I still managed to finish the trilogy within a couple of days. I will DEFINITELY will be buying hard copies of all of your work!
Congratulations and keep up the good work!!

Saw you on Anderson Cooper today and your interview was great. Can't wait to see if Coles has your book tomorrow, if not I will order it on line. Have a great time on your book tour. Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne
ReplyDelete Congrats to you Amanda! It's so encouraging to see someone make it big in the world of indie publishing. I bought your "My Blood Approves" novel and I plan on buying all your other books as well. There's an old Japanese saying I like about never giving up, "fall seven times, get up eight." Thanks for being my inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteSaw you on Anderson and had been looking for a book to read. Switched seemed right up my ally. I bought it and read it in a day. I loved it! Now to get Torn, I see where some people have read it already, but I can't seem to get it until the end of next month. I don't want to wait that long!
You are an inspiration to all, never give up your dream.- AnonymousJanuary 19, 2012 at 10:49 AM
I came across your books over a year ago on Amazon. I read everything you had within a couple of weeks. I was thrilled to see you on Anderson. I have told all of my friends to download your books! Keep up the great work! I can't wait to read the next book!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 19, 2012 at 3:49 PM
Saw you on Anderson Cooper the other day and have to get out and get your book before everyone in town beats me to it! (live in a small town)
Your story is so inspirational. Can't wait to start reading. - AnonymousJanuary 20, 2012 at 5:19 PM
Hi Amanda,I am reading Switched at the moment it is a great book to read. I am looking forward to reading the next books. Here in Australia we are always looking for a good book to read whether it be lying on a beach or in the bath :)I am sure your Trylle Trilogy will be a huge success. Oh and the pronunciation video was very helpful. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 25, 2012 at 3:14 PM
Hey Amanda, I'm a huge fan of all of your series, lately it's been The Hollows, I was wondering if you were planning on having a book signing in the Twin Cities. I really wanted to go to the one in Rochester, but i live in the northern suburbs of the metro so my parents said it was to far away :(. I would love to meet you! I got Switched the day it came with St.Martins and cant wait to read Wake. I love My Blood Approves because it takes place in MN, next time i'm in Minneapolis, i'm so going vampire hunting! Lol
ReplyDelete I am a writer of addiction books and how could I not be motivated by your life story. I am hoping to make the money without all that running around. Life is short. The true writer to me is someone who secludes and makes money like J D Salinger. I know I'm dreaming.....maybe not. God Bless you though. you paid the price to do all that writing. How you caught the eye of the press is what impresses me the most about you. John
ReplyDelete- AnonymousJanuary 28, 2012 at 9:11 PM
Saw you on Andersen, bought Switched, and looooved it! Can't wait for Torn. Keep up the great work -- I'm looking forward to many more great books with your name on them :)
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 29, 2012 at 8:33 AM
have just read switched and loved it, couldnt put it down until i had finished it at 2am!! The Vittra attacks was also good. Cant wait for the next one to come out in the UK.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 29, 2012 at 7:19 PM
just finished Switched - read it in 24 hours couldn't put it down - just enough of it all... can't wait until the other two are out...in by view - you are a hit!

When are you going to continue the blood approves series? Is it lost and forgotten?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousFebruary 1, 2012 at 11:43 AM
I was just thinking this morning...It's been about a year since I read the Trylle Trillogy and discovered Amanda Hocking. Love your work! I've purchased "Switched" on paperback and am re-reading the book.
I also love "My Blood Approves". I can't wait for book #5. I will say Alice finding her way to Peter would be pretty cool. It would at least make for MY happy ending:-) Don't get me wrong, I like Jack, I've just never felt they belonged together. However you decide to write it, I'm sure it will be great!
I can do vampires, but the whole zombie thing creeps me out, so I've stayed away from Hollowland. Maybe watching Day/Dawn of the Dead as a kid wasn't such a good idea.-@nettysenoj Hi Amanda!
Just wanted to let you know I am a huge fan of your My Blood Approves series. I had a question for you about your fourth installment: Wisdom. I own a Kindle and wanted to purchase the 4th book but it's not available for the Kindle.
Are you going to publish it to the Kindle?
JessicaHello Amanda! Just wanted to say that I've found "Switched" by luck in a bookshop here in Switzerland (the other side of the world!), and I'm really glad I bought it!
I've loved it!!! Especially the characters and the whole "atmosphere" of the book..
I wish you all the best in your writing, and I look forward reading more of your stories! =)
Emi- AnonymousFebruary 7, 2012 at 3:55 PM
Hi Amanda, where to start, I too found your book 'switched' by chance on a supermarket shelf in England. I have been struggling to find a book that draws me in since reading and becoming enthralled with the twilight saga!! I am struggling to put it down and I have nearly finished it(I only bought it yesterday. I love the cover and this is what initially had me drawn to the book. My partner, this evening spotted the book and commented 'that looks like a good book'!
Many many congratulations! Your journey and indeed (from reading your blogs) you recent decisions have brought this book to us over in the UK and I cannot wait to get 'Torn' on 1st March.
I was also thinking that this would make an amazing movie and am thrilled to hear this maybe on the horizon.
You have an amazing talent and I will now be working my way through all of your books. Keep writing,

look at the waist size on both boards and use that if all else fails.
if you live in powder land get the bigger size. if its local mt then get the smaller. heck just buy both size and sell one off for 150. the effective edge on these boards are longer compared to other co boards. |

ah the hell with it! i bought the 158 FOCUS and hope for the best, i guess $118.00 ain't bad can not wait to try it out once it gets here. I'd always wanted to size down from what i've been riding and make it my play around board, but if it can handle deep stuff i guess that would be a major plus.

I actually emailed them after posting here and got this response.
"The 2012 & 2013 UNO have similar attributes however the 2013 has some very important improvements including a new, more advanced core and an overall weight saving of about 15% vs. the 2012 UNO. In addition, the board has a more bluntish tip & tail." |

My kid just picked up the 2012 UNO 151 for $118. We have 5 snowboarders in our family. There may be more Status boards around here soon Thanks for the heads up.
FYI: For some reason their "Blow Out" board page disappeared. I could only get back to it by liking Status on Facebook. When you check out add "Save30Now" to the coupon code even if it does not show it on the main page. It still works. (Apparently the above issues were a result of the settings on one of our browsers.)
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8- Last edited by Board Gadget; 04-02-2013 at 03:09 PM. Reason: Browser issue. |

After recently reading about these knives here on DC and other forums, I was intrigued enough to do something absolutely amazing...
I spent money.
Yep, I bought 'em. And now, after putting them through some "paces", I have prepared a review of my own on these knives.
The items shown here are from CRKT Knives - Columbia River Knife and Tool. They are production versions of the Graham Brothers' original Razels found here: http://www.grahamknives.com
This is the Razel SS7. This large knife is decidedly not for EDC, but for camping, gardening, crafting, and survival:
The serrations you see there are "Veff Serrations", presumably after the individual that developed them. They are ridiculously effective on branches, rope, and anything you need through in a hurry. Unlike most serration configurations, these give a remarkably smooth cut without the usual jaggedness left behind.
The blade has the same grinds on it as the Ringed Razel, but the extra serrated side has a hollow grind to it, seen on the other side here:
The butt of the knife has a bottle opener and is capped with a small tungsten carbide glass breaker:
This has been pointed out as everything from a menace to one's ribs when holstered, to a useful addition that can be used for a whole list of things (scribing, cracking, drill starting, etc...). It works for me, but I guess I could do without it.
The sheath is a large friction-hold Kydex job, and it suits the blade remarkably well.
For a knife this sharp in so many places, it really is the best option in my opinion. In a pinch, the whole holster can be dropped down into a deep pocket for a quick carry option, or lashed to anything for a more permanent placement. Every Kydex sheath has its own "idiom" and this one is no different. It takes a while to get used to how the blade fits inside, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature.
This knife is amazing! I have lopped off branches with no effort, carved points and trip-notches in sticks with ease, and chiseled shavings from logs with great control and definition.
I even made dinner.
A stuffed Pork loin will all the fixin's was prepared by moi with this same implement. I was a gourmet cook for years before the USMC and I need to work on adapting it to batonette and julienne cuts, but it can be done!
As a drawback, this is not very good as a machete, which is ironically what immediately comes to mind when you first see the knife. Simply put, it's too heavy. A machete's strength is its low weight and high speed, which is absent here. This is great at chopping and cutting, but the swinging chop has to be against something rather solid to be effective. The balance is forward by some bit, which adds to the bite.
In slicing, this beast has no equal. It is essentially a giant straight razor, after all. The chisel is brutal in push-cuts. A stack of newspapers was pierced by the chisel end when I placed it flat against the surface and simply pressed. I got a good half-inch with minimal effort. Again, I can't stress enough how much I like the serrations. I don't usually like serrations, but I love these. Thank you Mr./Mrs. Veff...
The steel used is 9Cr18MoV. This is a High Carbon/High Chromium alloy that is very tough and hard to blemish. For the uses this knife will see, I have faith that it will last a long time.
A word of warning:
It really is that sharp EVERYWHERE. Please be careful and attentive to what you are doing.
So that's it! Sorry about the BIG pictures, but I like showing the detail so...

Three Bills Declared Out vs. Patriots
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Dec 30 2011 2:09PM
With the final game of the Buffalo Bills' season just two days away, there are no surprises to the injury report following Friday's practice.
As expected, wide receiver Brad Smith, guard Kraig Urbik and tackle Demetrius Bell have all been declared out of the contest. Smith has a hamstring injury, while Urbik and Bell are both dealing with knee ailments. All three injured themselves in the team's last game against the Denver Broncos.
Two other players listed on the injury report, wide receiver Ruvell Martin and running back Johnny White, are both probable to play in the regular season finale. Martin had been dealing with a hamstring injury, while White was recovering from a concussion.
The Bills take on the New England Patriots in Foxboro Sunday at 1 pm.

Pillsbury House Theatre presents
The Chicago Avenue Project:
featuring neighborhood kids and the best local professional artists
October 22 and 23, 2012
Minneapolis, MN – This fall local performing arts professionals team up with neighborhood kids for the 16th year of Pillsbury House Theatre's award-winning Chicago Avenue Project. MARK MY WORDS features some of the Twin Cities' top theatre artists, actors, and directors in ten original, short plays written by South Minneapolis youth.
"It's my favorite theater experience of the whole year," says Randy Reyes, professional actor and director. Writer Levi Weinhagen says, "You think you're coming in to teach the kids so much but half way through you realize you're learning more from them than they are from you."
MARK MY WORDS premieres at Pillsbury House Theatre, 3501 Chicago Avenue South, Minneapolis, on Monday, October 22 at 7:00 pm and Tuesday, October 23 at 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm. All performances are free and open to the public.
Including the professional talents of Sarah Agnew, Jamila Anderson, Rachel Austin, Patrick Bailey, Brain Balcom, Sarah Bellamy, Mark Benzel, Lisa Brimmer, Josh Campbell, Nathan Christopher, Brian Columbus, Leah Cooper, Yolanda Cotterall, Paul DeCordova, Jess Finney, Dylan Fresco, Aaron Gabriel, Beth Gilleland, Brian Grandison, Peter Christian Hansen, H. Adam Harris, Jamil Jude, Suzie Juul, Mary Keepers, George Keller, Ben McGovern, Mo Perry, Taj Ruler, Randy Reyes, James Rodriguez, Mikell Sapp, Randy Shmeling, Maggie Smith, Nathan Tylutki, Saymoukda Vongsay, Levi Weinhagen, Phyllis Wright, and Seniz Yargici Lennes.
Since 1996, the Chicago Avenue Project brings together the Twin Cities best adult playwrights, actors, and directors who volunteer to work one-on-one with neighborhood youth on the creation and production of an original play. Individual children develop close mentoring relationships with at least four adults who are successful in their creative fields while adult professional artists share the chance to perform in wildly imaginative plays as talking guinea pigs, horses, computer gaming systems, and other indescribably unique characters.
The Chicago Avenue Project gives every child—regardless of their circumstances—the opportunity to discover that he or she has a lot of value to offer. The project is not about teaching youth to perform, though they do learn acting, nor is it about teaching them how to write plays, though they learn that as well.
About Pillsbury House Theatre

Now in its 20th anniversary season, Pillsbury House Theatre is proud to be a professional theatre unlike any other. In partnership with Pillsbury United Communities, one of the largest human services organizations in the state, Pillsbury House Theatre demonstrates that the highest quality art is an integral part of all healthy communities.

We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of a recent short tour of Germany - it was, quite simply, the best decision we could have made. The room itself was large, airy, spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious with excellent views over the surrounding area from its balcony. Breakfast was massively varied, beautifully laid out and the small name... More

Basic ML TQWT Questions
Thanks to this forum my TQWT project is coming along very nicely. All the advice I have received on driver and timber selection has been incredibly helpful for someone as new to this as I am! So here are some further newbie questions -
For connecting the FE167E driver to the speaker terminals I'm thinking of using this product - http://www.soundlabsgroup.com.au/p/A...15mm+Cryogenic will this work well as a hook up wire? am I way off? likewise for damping I am planning on using this stuff - http://www.soundlabsgroup.com.au/p/V...+for+20+Litres good idea? Since I really have no experience in speaker building, even the most basic advice will be helpful! thanks a lot! |
Re: Basic ML TQWT Questions
Polyfluff is fine, doesn't get eaten by moths and stays where you put it. Ans costs a lot less. dave |
