The Next Front in the Drug War: the Media
The nation's youth too often get a pro-drug message from TV, films, and ads, but that's about to be countered
Corporations spend billions of dollars on advertising because it works. The electronic media - television, radio, film, videos, Internet, CD ROM, and multimedia (including print augmented by color photography) - are the strongest educational tools of the modern world. They change attitudes and behavior among youth in the fastest, most effective way. So if Americans are serious about reducing substance abuse, an aggressive media campaign is a crucial addition to drug prevention at home, in schools, and in communities.
Congress is now considering just such a campaign - our proposal to spend $175 million to motivate young people to reject illegal drugs. Through support from the media and others in the private sector, this figure could double - allowing us to increase both paid advertisements and public service efforts.
The need is clear
Such an initiative is unquestionably necessary. Even though overall drug use in our country has dropped by half in the last 15 years, teenage drug use rose precipitously. Eighth-grade use, for example, nearly tripled in the last five years. During this period, the number of antidrug public service announcements fell by 30 percent, and many aired in time slots that attract few children.
The media initiative is only the beginning of a greater educational campaign that will use every tool available to reach US youngsters. Documentaries about the history of drug use, the impact of narco-terrorism, and the link between drugs, crime, and the justice system can be supplemented by factual, dramatic shows about the consequences of substance abuse. Young viewers would be more likely to shun addictive substances if they were better informed about the violence associated with this criminal industry, as well as the health risks posed by illegal drugs.

Do you remember when you were little and your best friend told you she didn't want to be friends anymore? It hurts like something was nesting on your heart and had clawed its way into your soul. There is an childish elegance to the sadness that you assumed only existed for grown ups when they talk about grown up things. In the glorious contant of humanity, the existence of her will corrode and become a faded memory that you will only remember when you hurt again.
And then you will lose your dog, your best friend, your confidant. It will happen suddenly and you will be left with nothing but the hole in your heart of a lost companion who you assumed would be around forever. You will learn at that moment that nothing true or pure lasts forever. A part of your innocence will die as you cradle your companion for the last time. If only you had goldfish and parents who lied to you about him instead.
You will think the worst is over, playgrounds will become a little less magical, danger will become a little more promising. You will be painfully aware of your parents, their presence, their laws. You will recognise how much of a dictatorship you live in. Mom is never around, Dad is out at sea, trying to keep food on the table. They're busy, they don't have time, except to tell you what to do. Study, become a lawyer, a doctor, play more sports, join a club. It will be a feat beyond humanity if you even remember what the playground looks like when they are done with you.
Eventually, you will learn to become used to that life and the rebellion will set in its ways. Until you see him. He'll wear the wrong socks and always have a smudge of dirt across his face. His tooth is almost out and he shakes it in his gums to gross everyone out. Everyone but you. He will smile at you like you're the only person in the world and call you Dolce, because his mother is obsessed with the word. And then, when you share your secret hideout and only bar of chocolate with him, he will refuse to look at you again. But it will ache most when he takes your best friend, the one who doesn't even understand that he loves those socks because they were his father's gift to him, to your secret hideout.
You will watch them together and remember the special cigarettes your older brother hid behind the broken part of the cabinet, the ones which always put him in such a good mood. And when you light it and cough so much your eyes water, you will understand that it is your soul bleeding through them, because it doesn't know why it is being poisoned. But you will take a deep breath and try again. And again. And again...
I promise. The next one will make you feel better. Just try one more. Go on.
They say that children are so resilient.
I have always wondered why.

JERUSALEM – A Libyan man is selling what he says are former Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi's wedding ring and the shirt he was wearing when he was killed in October.
Ahmed Warfali is reportedly asking for $2 million for the silver ring and button-down beige shirt, bloodied after Gadhafi was found by rebels in a drainage pipe near his home town Sirte. He was dragged out, beaten and then shot and killed along with son Mutassim.
The London-based, pan-Arab newspaper Alquds Alarabi reported that Warfali believes he could get more than he's asking if he were in Europe to sell the items. A picture apparently of the ring on website ArabsToday.net shows a simple silver ring engraved with the date that Gadhafi married his wife, Safia, Sept. 10, 1970. Online debates sprang up about the ethics of selling the former dictator's effects.
"The ring does not belong to Gadhafi," one person wrote on a Facebook wall for people from the town of Zintan. "It's Libyan money and this guy should not sell the ring."
Zintan is where Gadhafi's son and once-presumed heir, Saif al-Islam, is being held by local forces. They arrested him in November and have yet to turn him over to the transitional government or International Criminal Court for trial.
"Well you can sell Saif for 20 billion dollars, if you do not want the guy to sell the ring," another person wrote on Facebook.
"Enough fighting over property," pleaded another.
Little stability has returned to Libya since Gadhafi was ousted. Various militias are refusing to give up their weapons and are jostling for power. Clashes broke out Wednesday in the center of the capital Tripoli, reportedly between gunmen from Zintan and Misrata.

Blues' waiting gain
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Stoke City 1-2 ChelseaSoccer Saturday analysis Patience was the key to Chelsea's last-gasp success at Stoke, according to Paul Merson. The Soccer Saturday man watched Carlo Ancelotti's men continue their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season thanks to Florent Malouda's injury-time strike. Tony Pulis' side, who defended valiantly throughout, had taken the lead through an Adbdoulaye Faye header only for in-form Dider Drogba to smash home a superb equaliser right on half-time. And it looked as if it would stay that way until deep into stoppage time when Malouda lashed home a left-footed finish to leave Stoke devastated and Merson drooling at the way Chelse kept their cool to the very last. "The most impressive thing about them was all through the second half, they were dominant, all over Stoke, but even when it got down to the last three or four minutes, they were still passing the ball," he told Soccer Saturday. "There was no getting to the half-way line and lumping into the box, they kept on passing it, passing it, getting it out wide and putting it in the box into proper areas. For me, that was outstanding, they didn't panic. "Chelsea were outstanding but Stoke were outstanding defensively. This is going to have to be a real pick-me-up job for Tony Pulis to do this week because they won't believe they've lost this." Pulis can take heart from the sort of defensive display that was the foundation for them staying in the Premier League last season. Before the late heartbreak Robert Huth, Ryan Shawcross, Danny Collins and Faye put their bodies on the line time and again to deny the league leaders. DominantAnd says Merson, had they managed to take two golden opportunities that came their way, Chelsea's 100 per cent record might have cracked in the Potteries. "For how dominant Chelsea were in the second half, Stoke had a couple of good headers," he said. "(Dave) Kitson had one straight art (Petr) Cech and Huth put one over from four yards - if they go in, they win the game. "Stoke tried to mix it, make it physical and rightly so, They didn't have all the luck in the world; Beattie went off after five minutes when he should've scored and they lost the keeper, but Chelsea have some big players, some physical players and they stood up to Stoke today. They deserved to win but you feel sorry for Stoke. "But their defending was absolutely phenomenal. I think I'm right in saying they did it against Liverpool last season, when they were getting in front of everything. It's not luck, it's outstanding defending."

G Money (born Harlesden, London) is a disc jockey and radio presenter for the TXU News programme on BBC 1Xtra digital radio,[1] co-presenting the lunchtime news show between 2 and 4pm on weekdays.
G Money established Bassline FM in 1993 because he could not get a spot on the established pirates of the day.[2] Bassline was highly influential in the pirate radio scene in London, because the people behind the station were in their teens. His show The Bassment was a key fixture on the station. Bassline went on to become one of the major players on the pirate scene in the UK.
Originally a "Bashment" DJ, G now specializes in playing hip-hop and RnB. He has DJed at parties for Lauryn Hill, Wyclef, Ja Rule and many others, and at clubs around the world.
As well as DJing and presenting the TXU News programme on BBC 1Xtra, G Money also works for voluntary youth programmes in South London such as The Connexions Initiatives, where artists such as Usher, Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys and Tyrese visit schools and encourage pupils to stay focused to achieve their goals.[verification needed]
G Money is also the nickname for Detroit Tigers Catcher Gerald Laird.
G Money currently DJs for a Kenyan radio station called Homeboyz Radio(103.5 fm). He has been the host of the morning breakfast show where he plays Hip hop R&B and Reggae/ragga. In addition, he's the main attraction on Thursday nights at Club Rezorus (Nairobi, Kenya) for the theme night dubbed Uptown Thursdays. He plays the best mix of reggae and dancehall all night and works alongside DJ Wesley and DJ Nruff.

Engagement in Higher Ed: How to Create a Buzz with Prospective Students
Working with social media in a Higher Education environment can be challenging. There are many stakeholders that need attention – from Alumni, Students, Faculty & Staff to Prospective Students -- or those currently in high school thinking about which college or university in which they should apply. Having a well-planned social marketing strategy and a savvy social media team can help you reach each group effectively. Today, let's talk about reaching that last group: Prospective Students.
Where do High School students go when they're using social media? The obvious answer is Facebook, but an increasing number of high school students are also using Twitter and Instagram. Both social networks offer short, quick messages and photos, which get content delivered quickly because it's all about instant satisfaction, right? Does your institution use Twitter and Instagram? If not, you should start today.
The University of New Hampshire has an official Twitter and Instagram account. We also have 'UNHStudents' on Twitter and Instagram, managed by student interns helping to broadcast messages geared toward the student body. They also listen, reply, favorite, and like tweets and photos when UNH is mentioned appropriately. This is one way to reach the 16 to 18 year old demographic who could be considering your higher education institution.
Start searching Twitter and Instagram for your college. Do you see any buzz? You can help spread that buzz, but more importantly, you can help spread your school's message, making it resonate with the targeted audience. Start replying to tweets and photos that are all about visiting, applying, and touring your campus. Engage with those mentioning your school and start a conversation. Ask questions via Twitter, or comment and like the photos of campus they're sharing on Instagram.
Does your school have an official hashtag for Twitter or Instagram? Start using it in your tweets and incorporating it with your Instagram photos. Create a new hashtag for each graduating year and use it when replying--we didn't tell our followers to use #UNH16 or #UNH17, we just started adding it to our tweets and Instagram shots -- it didn't take long to catch on!
Your social media team should also re-tweet and congratulate those that share their college acceptance on Twitter or Instagram. They may have been accepted, but did they enroll? It's just another way to show that your institution cares and wants to bring the students on board officially.
Need help keeping tracking and managing your replies? Set up search columns in TweetDeck, Sprout Social, Hootsuite, or another Social Media Management system and start communicating with prospective students right now... The only thing you'll regret is not doing it sooner.

Plus, the Biebs admits he's looking for the future Mrs. Bieber. I guess Selena Gomez is out of the running.
Justin Bieber apologized to his fans for smoking weed while hosting the Feb. 9 episode of Saturday Night Live. Can you forgive him?
Justin, 18, had many great moments on the Feb. 9 episode of SNL, but it was when he played the president of Miley Cyrus' fanclub, during an appearance on The Miley Cyrus Show sketch, that caught our attention! The conversation quickly turned to Justin's personal life:
"I also heard he got busted for smoking weed and he's really sorry about it and people make mistakes and he's never gonna do it again," Justin said.
"Yeah, right. Me too," joked "Miley," as the audience roared with laughter.
Justin Bieber: I'm Single & Ready To Mingle
"Tonight, I'm looking a future Mrs. Bieber," Justin said during his opening monologue, throwing a dagger into the hearts of Jelena fans everywhere. Justin handed out a number of roses to random girls in the audience (I'm pretty sure they had rehearsed this) before picking Whoopi Goldberg as his dream girl.
During the later sketches in the show, Justin was impersonated by cast members who posed as his body doubles and he participated in a "Californians" sketch.
What did you think of Justin's hosting gig, HollywoodLifers? The Miley Cyrus Show sketch was the best scene of the night — by far! Do you agree?

I like Price and the Jesus Seminar, and Tim Callahan, but why do they poo poo Acharya S. It seems to me that they are all saying the same thing, and yet Acharya S, DM Murdock, gets dissed left and right. Do you know why? Anyways…awesome, enjoy the rest of your weekend. thanks.
I think Price and Acharya S are friends now, or at least friendly. They appeared on The Infidel Guy radio show together. . .
Wonderful — I was only familiar with a scant few of these. Thanx.
Hey, your comment box doesn't seem to have the option to follow by e-mail which makes it hard to actually dialogue on a thread — just a thought.

Drogba carrying groin injury
02 Apr 2010 - 15:38:51
Chelsea head coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that striker Didier Drogba has been carrying a groin injury for some time and may yet need surgery at the end of the season.
The 32-year-old Ivory Coast international sat out last weekend's 7-1 drubbing of Aston Villa, but is expected to return for the crunch clash with Manchester United on Saturday.
Ancelotti told reporters: "Drogba has been living with this problem for three or four months, but it is not a big problem.
"Sometimes he has problems after the game, but during the week he doesn't have any difficulty.
"He will not need surgery now and if he needs to have an operation at the end of the season he will be ready in seven days because it will be a very little surgery - but I don't know if he will need to have that surgery.
"He was a little bit tired before the last game against Aston Villa, so I didn't want to take the risk to put him on the pitch, but now he is fit and he has to play."

Part X
"I can't let go." Eve 6
He looked into my eyes, his eyes sending a baffling affectionate look. I couldn't help but feel that he was hypnotizing me with his bright green eyes. However, I snapped out of the trance and noticed he had loosened the grip on my wrist. With all my strength, I could conjure I punched his jaw; I didn't care if he acted to make me feel bad, or if I'm actually that strong but he flew to the foot of the staircase. He held his cheek, looking at me in amazement that I had done that.
"What the hell is your problem!?" He began to argue.
I didn't respond and simply walked up stairs to where everyone else was. I ran up the stairs, and heard him running after me as well. I didn't close the door behind me, and continued on, however, I heard him collapse on the floor in back of me. I turned around and saw him one the ground trying to move. His skin was beginning to have small embers on it. I gasped and quickly threw him (literally threw) back into the basement. As he rolled down the steps I closed the door, to help him back down in the basement.
"Are you alright?!" I asked.
"What the hell did you think you were doing, you bloody twit!?" Arthur yelled as he began to get up.
"I was saving your life!" I answered without a moment's hesitation, "Besides, it's your fault for following me into the light."
Arthur chuckled sarcastically; I glared at him as he passed by me. Yet, I felt back for what I did and followed him again to the bed he was sitting in before. The dim candle-light made me see what damage he had taken. Arthur glanced at me; I looked away in a pout.
"Look, you can help by getting that small bottle there and giving it to me." He said.
I looked back and saw the small bottle with the green liquid inside. I handed it to him, and he quickly drank it. Suddenly, his skin began to improve; there were no longer any burns on his skin. As I observed how quickly he was healing, I realized that I was a failure as a hunter. I saved the life of a vampire, even worse the life of a vampire king.
"Could you have died?" I whispered, "If you were exposed to the sun for long?"
"Yeah!" He stood up in anger, "Why do you think I blame this on you?"
I almost felt like slapping myself. If only my reaction wasn't to save him. It seemed as though, fate was keeping him alive. That was the third time he was about to die, twice intervened by other and the last time by myself. I glanced back at him and thought; if it was fate then what if I cheated it? My brain thought of it carefully, I needed accept the fact I was his host, but then I would kill him when I got the chance. I would get rid of him, once I got his confidence. I felt my lips spread in a smile and I sat next to him.
"I am sorry." I said, "But, I saved you, that should be my best apology."
"Why did you save me? You're a hunter." He thought the same thing.
" I bit my lip trying to go through with the plan, "I
Re-remember when you asked if I was ready to decide? Well, I think I got used the idea of me being with you." Arthur beamed, his green eyes, suddenly becoming lighter.
"Really? You know, you don't have to." He said.
"I think I have decided." I mumbled, thinking he better get used to it, before I regret it. Arthur smirked and touched my hand, holding it.
I might as well claim you here." He whispered into my ear. My cheeks flushed red, as I held my ear and pulled back.
"Wha-what!?" I blushed, "Here!? I have to be-! Mentally prepared! This isn't something you just do!"
"What are you talking about, _________? You said you had decided." He smirked leaning towards me. I placed my hand on his chest, my heart thumping out as I touched him.
He leaned in and kissed my neck. I couldn't stop my heart from beating so fast. I closed my eyes trying to skip pass this. However, I felt a pinch at my neck; I realized he had bitten me. I gasped as I felt him suck the red liquid inside of me. His tongue soaking up those drops that wanted to run down my neck. There was no pain, just that numbness on my skin and the arousal that I felt from being bitten.

Alright, so, I made this thread to finally try to get a meet together for us Alabama members and possibly some GA/TN/MS members.
I've found a pretty central location for us to hold the meet at a place called http://www.grayrockorv.com/index.htm
It seems like a decent location and very fun. I'm asking for help or advice from other members interested in this.

Republicans and business groups complain that the 35 percent corporate tax rate is among the highest in the world, leaving American companies at a disadvantage.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will propose a "grand bargain for middle-class jobs" on Tuesday that would cut the U.S. corporate tax rate and use billions in revenues generated by a business tax overhaul to fund projects aimed at creating jobs.
There's something really weird about the economic message President Obama put forward today. He talked about how we've already had a lot of deficit reduction and we need to shift our focus to creating jobs and strengthening the middle class.
"Stop tax inversion by American corporations" is the latest war cry of American socialists. Obama is infuriated that U.S. corporations want to be American no more and is going to stop it. Tax inversion is a method whereby a U.S. multinational company takes over a foreign company and creates a new corporate entity that the U.S. "tax inversion" uses to leave U.S. tax jurisdiction (the newly created company re-incorporates overseas). With a single takeover the U.S. corporation is no longer American — it might be British or Irish and subsequently pay a much lower rate of tax.
Tax reform is one of the few things in Washington these days on which Republicans and Democrats both agree is worth doing. Especially at this time of year, when taxpayers are struggling to file their tax returns, it's not hard to get applause for promises to make the tax system fairer and simpler. Converting this widespread bipartisan desire into legislation, however, is another matter.
If you only studied President Obama's corporate tax proposal by reading news stories about it, you might be under a misimpression: that Obama proposed a business tax cut, and Republicans are too spiteful to take him up on it.
Last Week I received a response from reader Eric in response to the "U.S. Corporate Tax Dodge" by Barry Ritholtz. In his article Ritholtz sides with Fortune author Allan Sloan who wrote about Positively Un-American Tax Dodges.
President Barack Obama's administration on Wednesday unveiled plans to lower the top corporate tax rate to 28 percent and choke off lucrative loopholes, an election-year gambit testing Republicans' pro-business credo.Doubling down on his pledge to build an economy based on "fairness," Obama's lieutenants rolled out a plan that would lower the nominal business tax rate from 35 percent, but rake in more revenue by ending dozens of tax breaks and subsidies.
The U.S. government is driving some of its most productive citizens abroad. The only beneficiaries are countries such as Singapore and Switzerland, which offer sanctuary to Americans fleeing avaricious Uncle Sam. Three years ago Eduardo Saverin, one of Facebook's founders, joined 1,780 other Americans in renouncing their citizenship. Saverin's case was particularly striking: Born in Brazil, he only gained U.S. citizenship in 1998. But heading overseas allowed him to reduce the federal government's take when his company went public.
AP - A preliminary report by Congress' revenue scorekeeper suggests that it would be hard for Republicans to attain their goal of lowering the top corporate tax rate to 25 percent if they want to pay for it solely by eliminating business tax breaks.

The Wildflowers of the Southeast
Southern wildflower gardeners have some distinct advantages over their counterparts in other parts of the country. Mostly, the Southeast is blessed with a very long growing season, making it a grand home for wildflowers. What's more, even though the south has heavy heat through summer, it does not "brown down" in the same way west Texas and the Pacific coast do once mid-summer arrives. The south stays green and in bloom, thanks to adequate rainfall through the summer and into fall.
The Southeast is a combination of several "floristic" regions. Areas such as Arkansas and the mountains of the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee are parts of the great Eastern Deciduous Forest which covered almost all the eastern half of the continent before European settlement. Botanists call the regions covering the coastal areas of the Southeast the Southeastern Mixed Forest. Great rivers and huge swampy areas in the coastal regions have made those areas a wonderful habitat for wildflowers.
As everyone knows, huge areas of the southeast have been cleared for agriculture, opening the forest floor to a wide variety of wildflowers, both native and naturalized. Our Proven Mixture for the Southeast takes all these characteristics into consideration, and is a balanced mixture of wild annual and perennial flower seeds that will do well for you. Depending on your exact location, certain wildflowers will do better than others, but because of the large species count in the mixtures, you should have a good show of season-long color no matter where you plant.
Because of the mild temperatures, Southeastern wildgardeners can plant in either spring or fall. Late March through April is best for spring, and early October into November is best for putting in fall plantings.

- Mixtures: 30+ choices including our most popular Southeast Wildflower Seed Mix.

The $75,000 Gift Basket
Gift baskets are often about as exciting as grocery-store fruitcake. They're the all-purpose gifts for that client you're about to drop, or that aunt in Bolivia.
The few times I received one, the fruit rotted on my desk, I never cashed the gift certificate to a spa two hours from my house, and I tossed the lotion sample that smelled like my boss.
So how does
She simply includes all her favorite things: two first-class tickets to the House of Dom Perignon in France (flying into Paris), a year's supply of handmade Godiva truffles, an Illy Café espresso machine and other decadent goodies all wrapped in a set of vintage style trunks.
"It was a bit ridiculous to do," Colover admits, but she claims the price isn't ridiculously high for what's included. An entertainment exec has expressed interest in purchasing three for business-related gifting, she says. Another customer from the technology industry purchased a basket sans the plane tickets -- they have their own trip planned. However, nobody has actually bought the full basket yet. The 4-foot-tall, 22-foot-wide ensemble is shrink-wrapped by passing through a giant tunnel, and with postage paid -- at this price, it better be -- it is delivered to any U.S. address via special messenger.Reva's Rationale
"I wanted the whole thing to be visually marvelous and bring together the experience of traveling," says Colover. Lavish gifting is commonplace in Colover's line of work. One of her customers, a company executive, spent $40,000 sending each of his board members a magnum of Champagne wrapped in a blanket. "We don't just include things to look pretty," says Colover, who avoids the word gift basket to describe her gift collections, which are packaged in trunks, coffee tables and even clarinet cases. This year, customers are sending out the same number of gifts but spending more on each, says Colover. She suspects that executives are trying harder -- and paying more -- to make a lasting impression on corporate clients.Money Better Spent?
Endless truffles and a trip to France are tempting, but look at what else $75,000 could score:- 2008 BMW 7 Series: $75,800
- 37 Apple MacBook laptops at $2,000 each
- 1,500 tanks of gas at about $50 each.

The new monitor arrive this morning; a Dell Ultra Sharp U2212HM 21 inch wide screen. I never minded the old Samsung being a 19 inch but it is rather nice having the extra visual real estate with the Dell. It doesn't sound like much going up to 21 but it's pretty significant being so used to the old one. I'll have to pick up a new calibration tool because the old Colorvision Spyder 2 doesn't get along with LED back light so I'm not even going to try. The Dell is reasonably calibrated out of the box so all good. I'm happy to get the damn CRT brick I was running, in the interim, off my desk finally. Good God that thing is hyooge and the color totally shot. Well, back to work! Good deal.
I just wanted to drop in a quick post noting that my monitor (Samsung 931c wide gamut LCD) croaked out last week and I'm currently awaiting it's replacement (Dell Ultra Sharp U2212HM IPS screen and also wide gamut). It had been acting up since last month but it wasn't clear it actually was the monitor at first (video card also was a suspect but it's fine). This has been causing causing problems here and there as it was in it's mysterious death rattle. Now that it's done-for no color work until the new monitor arrives. I'm running my old CRT right now so I can respond to messages and surf but this thing is bloody shot for color it's utterly useless.
I'll be back to posting soon. Thanks for the support always and enjoy the Memorial Day holiday!

Capital Craft Beerfest 2014
The 2014 Capital Craft Beerfest was destined to be a roaring success, and your favourite bloggers, the Beersluts, obviously weren't going miss the opportunity to taste some great beer and listen to some good music……….. | |||
Solstice Beer and Food Festival
The 21 June marks the change of the season where the days get longer and the nights get shorter as you see and feel SUMMER slowly crawling closer! It is a day of celebration and what better way to celebrate the day with GOOD MUSIC, GOOD FOOD, GOOD BEER and GOOD FRIENDS! This year was the 8th year that Dirk van Tonder, owner of The Ale House in Broederstroom, held this spectacular event! Click here to read all about it… |
The best Beer Drinker's diet so far!
We have been struggling with our weight as a result of our passion for Craft Beer. We have been on several diets, swallowed some pills, injected ourselves with stuff, did some exercise, did a LOT of exercise but somehow we could still not shed the extra kilos we would put on over weekends. Tasting beer and writing about it is the flame that feeds our souls. We can not change that!
As I sat and work one day, I became aware of the battle for my office chair. My left bum-cheek was taking more of the chair than the right one, which as a result, got cross and pushed my back-fat up my spine! THAT WAS IT! WE MUST LOOSE WEIGHT!!
I remembered when I was young we followed a 3 day diet to quickly loose a few kilos before an event. Google is my friend and VIOLA! I found the heart foundation 3 day diet along with all the nay-Sayers that has nothing good to say about the diet at all! We've been following it religiously for 3 days a week over the last four weeks and have LOST weight while still having LONG weekends, drinking beer! For the 3 days, we only drink water, black coffee and diet cooldrink.
Here is the diet we follow:
Black Coffee or tea with low fat sweetener 1/2 grapefruit 1 slice of toast with 1tbsp peanut butter |
1/2 a cup of tuna 1 slice of toast Black coffee/tea/water* |
3 oz any lean meat 1 cup of green beans 1 cup of carrots 1 cup of vanilla ice cream 1 medium apple Black coffee/tea/water* |
Black coffee/tea/water* 1 egg(served any style) 1 slice of toast 1 banana |
1 cup of tuna or cottage cheese 5 plain crackers Black coffee/tea/water* |
2 hotdogs 1/2 cup of carrots 1 cup of broccoli or cabbage 1 banana 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream |
Black coffee/tea/water* 5 plain crackers 1 oz of cheddar cheese 1 apple |
1 hard boiled egg 1 slice of toast black coffee/tea/water* |
1 cup of tuna 1 cup of carrots 1 cup of cauliflower 1 cup of melon 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream black coffee/tea/water* |
*Low calorie sweetener should always be used instead of sugar
Condiments allowed on the 3 Day Diet
- Lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- Mustard
- Cooking oil spray
Variations on the 3 Day Diet
If you really don't like any of the foods included you can make some changes;
- Orange instead of grapefruit
- Tuna instead of cottage cheese or vice versa
- Frozen yoghurt instead of ice cream
- Cauliflower instead of broccoli and vice versa
- Green beans instead of broccoli or cauliflower
- Beetroot instead of carrots
- Toast instead of 5 plain crackers
Follow the plan for three days without cheating and you should see the fast results that you want.
You can have your beer AND drink it!
Review of The Ale House
We finally got around to write a review of the often visited Ale House in Broederstroom, North West.

SA on Tap 2014 – Joburg Edition
SA on Tap 2014 had 23 breweries with an awesome selection of craft beer. There was definitely something for everybody – from hardcore IPA's to pink chick drinks! We concentrated on the breweries we haven't had beer from before although the old favourites kept tempting us! It is definitely one of the best beer festivals in South Africa. Click here to read all about it… |
Clarens Beer Festival 2014
Once again, a great success! Well done to Stefan and his team who put together this great event, this time without the sponsorship of beer giant SA Breweries! We can't wait for 2015! | |||
On the other side
One always takes the smile on the person's face who serves you beer at festivals for granted.
During the Pecanwood festival we had the opportunity to experience a festival from the other side of the taps and it was not nearly as glamorous as expected! In fact, there were a few times I felt like giving somebody a smack across the head.
What did we learn from this?
- DON'T criticize a brewers hand crafted beer within hearing distance! Not only is it rude, but you are running down the love and care and effort it took to produce the beer. Unless of course you are a certified beer judge. Even then be specific in your criticism with facts to support your statements. 'AAARRG THIS TASTE LIKE SHIT!' does not qualify as a valid criticism! We do give our personal commentary on the beer on our blog and we are not judges yet but from now on we'll be more gentle! Brewers have feelings too!
- People go to Oktoberfests to get smashed and the quality and flavour make no difference! THE ABV DOES! The higher the alcohol levels, the better it sells! VERY FEW people actually know anything about craft beer whatsoever!
- It is not so easy to pour a beer with a modest head! It took us a while to be able to pour a beer with an acceptable head and many spoons of foam went into the bucket!
- You have to repeat yourself continually without sounding irritated! You have to explain the style, the brewing process, the flavours and why you don't have Castle Light on tap over and over AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! At Nine PM at night, I assure you, the listener will not remember or understand a word you are saying but you have to repeat the story WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE for the n-th time!
- Oompah bands are only cool if you have had a couple of cold ones! Being dead sober and having to listen to the same repertoire of songs over and over can become a bit much!
- The South African craft brewers are a band of brothers (and sisters) ! We experienced this first hand where brewers moved around behind the scenes, tasting each others beer and talking beer stuff!! Man were we privileged to be amongst them.
- Festivals should NOT mix hard alcohol with craft beer! It is a slap in the face of the craft brewers who spent a lot of time, effort and money to be at the festival only to loose customers to people like Klipdrift with more alcohol per volume than the craft beers ! Rather invite SA Breweries or Windhoek Breweries to such events.
We would like to thank Ruaan and Amanda of Chameleon Breweries for giving us the opportunity and trusting us to sell their beer!
Pecanwood Oktoberfest 2013
A rather disappointing festival for both brewers and action seekers. The slutty fest was quite boring with the calendar girls looking like schoolgirls and the number of attendees not CLOSE to the 6000 predicted. It was really a non-event but gave us the opportunity to work on the other side of the counter, which will be what our next post will be about! One thing is for certain, you don't mix craft beer with ANY hard alcohol at festivals. | |||
