13-18/5/2013 latest update
Published by jaygee in the blog jaygee's blog. Views: 211
Woke up to lovely sunshine, only a touch of wind and a lovely view from the door of the motorhome.
After breakfast Tony went for a walk along the shore to have a look at the estuary with a view to taking his kayak out on it.
Several vans with surfers drew up and a lot of equipment was carted down the dunes to the beach and sun canopies were erected .This was obviously a very popular surfing beach and I suspect that these were pupils of surf schools. They all got to the beach, did lots of setting up and exercises and then headed off into the surf for their tuition.
Tony came back and got his kayak down from the roof and then headed off over the dunes to the estuary. – not easy going in the soft sand.
I sat outside reading in the sun.
The beach gradually filled up with people which being a Monday was a bit surprising for this time of year.
We spent the day rather lazily – walks along the beach, beers at the van.
A VW campervan parked next to us and out got two people and a huge Newfoundland dog.
They stayed the night in the car park and apparently, so they said, the dog took up most of the room inside the van sleeping under the table!
It was really quite warm tonight so we had tea outside – a first for this trip I think.
Tony had another go at getting a TV signal to no avail. Don't know why as everything seems to be connected & working OK just not receiving a signal. Thought the first few times were because we were out of range but it has now been a couple of weeks, in fact all the time we have been in Portugal, since we have got any sort of TV. It's either a coincidence or something is wrong with our system. Anyway it has made Tony resolve to definitely get some sort of satellite system fitted in the van – best he sends a nice pleading letter to Father Xmas
We watched 2 episodes of Boardwalk Empire (getting through them quite quickly and am now half way through the second series, only got 1 more series after this) and then bed. I had trouble getting to sleep due to the sound of the waves crashing onto the shore. Tony said it was supposed to be a romantic sound – I think it just sounds like the M25.
I eventually dropped off only to be awoken about 3am to what sounded like thunder, there were no lightning flashes or any rain so I thought I was imagining it and it was just the sea but around 5am the rain came along with just a few drops. I remember the couple in Praia de Monte Clerigo saying that they had spectacular storms at night but they were mostly far out at sea so perhaps this was one of them. Anyway made for a disturbed night's sleep for me but Tony hadn't heard a thing and said I must have imagined it.
It was very dull and windy when we woke up so we packed up & headed off. We decided to call in at Carrapateira, supposedly a nice beach area.
We noticed a large increase in the amount of motorhome traffic on the roads, mostly heading north. I expect a lot of it is the long stayers from winter making their way back home to the UK. They should have checked the weather forecast, if they had I doubt very much they would be heading in that direction.
Carrapateira was indeed a nice beach but very much identical to the one we had just come from and also windy so we did not stay. We were however able to be a good Samaritan to a young lad who was stranded at the desolate cliff tops with his car not starting – one set of jump leads later and he was off, must have been his lucky day when we turned up.
Amongst this lovely scenery at the headland there were numerous windmills – I wonder who thought it would be a good idea to fill this lovely area with a wind farm.
Back on the road we headed to Salema a beach town on the coast. We had intended to go to the furthest southern point in Portugal, Ponta de Sagres, but having seen so many desolate cliff tops thought it possible wasn't worth the visit. Several local people had said there was nothing there only scenery and we'd had enough of that in the high winds!
Salema was indeed a nice town with a lovely beach but it was very small with very narrow roads. We just made it into the first car park which, despite saying 'No Campers' we decided to park and walk down to the beach front. This is obviously a seaside resort town as most of the buildings are holiday apartments, the roads are pedestrian only and the beach area has lots of sunbeds & umbrellas on it. There were also quite a few beach shops and restaurants around the front area. We had a walk around and then walked back to the van. On the way we passed a restaurant and saw our first "British Breakfast" sign, E6.50, we knew that we had reached the British part of the Algarve that everyone had told us about. Tony couldn't resist so we sat down to eat. The waiter was so slow that at one point Tony got up and went inside in case it was counter service, he came back with the menu and said the waiter would be out shortly. After another long wait he appeared and by this time Tony had changed his mind, said it was too late now for breakfast and had a burger & chips, I had an omelette. Both of these, you would think, were fast food – not in this establishment, It took an age for our food to come!
The bird life here was very forward, they were sitting on the fence waiting for tit bits.
As soon as we had finished they were there at the table after left overs…..
We asked for the bill and again had to wait ages, in the end I went into the restaurant to the counter to pay – needless to say we left no tip!
We walked back to the van buying todays newspaper on the way, no shortage of them here. We saw a bus turning round at the top of the hill, obviously the roads into town were too small for big vehicles and perhaps we shouldn't have come down so far but there were no signs to say that. Anyway got some funny looks as we drove out of town.
The next place on our route (we have a route?) was Alvos. People said that this was worth a stop, quite a reasonably sized town with a large free Aires.
We had to go through Lagos which was a large town and on one of the roundabouts saw a Camper Service sign so took a bit of a detour to empty the waste & refill with water. We found the Aires but it was a Flot Bleu system where you need a token to operate the waste cover and water tap and we didn't have one. Someone had kindly wedged the waste trap open so we were able to empty the loo but we couldn't fill up with water but weren't too desperate for that at the moment. We continued towards Alvas and came across a BP petrol station that sold LPG. We had been out of LPG gas for about a week and had been using the normal cylinders until we were able to refill as LPG stations seemed to be very far & few between in Portugal. The petrol station was on the wrong side of the dual carriageway so we had to go quite a way to the next roundabout to come back on the right side of the road and then, after filling up, go quite a way to a roundabout to come back on ourselves and travel in our original direction. It felt like we were going round and round Lagos as we kept seeing the same places as we passed. The roads were very busy with lots of heavy traffic but on one main road we came across a very old cart being pulled by a donkey, driving the cart was an old man who must have been all of 90 and sitting in the back of the cart, wearing her traditional Portuguese costume, was his wife, they were trotting along without a care in the world being overtaken by heavy lorries…….
We found our way to Alvor ok and as I had the co-ordinates for the Aires we went directly to it. It was a huge field with lots of vans on it ranging from battered old transits to huge American RV's. Before parking we went to the water tap and Tony started filling up the van. A Portuguese woman came over to us with her receipt book and demanded 4E which was the cost of staying one night & using the facilities. There had been no signs to this effect but we could see, on looking back, that she did have an office by the entrance which we had missed. As Tony had already filled the van with water we had no option other than to pay and then we drove round the field trying to find a suitable place to park. The Aires was like a dust bowl with the wind blowing. We tried parking in several different directions but just couldn't get out of the wind. Every time someone moved there was a huge cloud of sand, it felt like the van was filling up with it. The whole site felt like a Gypsy site, although there were several Brit vans here no-one came to talk to us and it didn't feel very nice.
Tony went off on his bike to see if there was any other area that we could park and came back to say he had found somewhere better so we moved there.
At the other side of the town there was a couple of lovely coves with some restaurants on the beach. There was a very large long & narrow car park and although there were the usual 'no camping' signs we managed to tuck ourselves up one end and although not out of sight, we were out of the way. Luckily this time of year I think we can get away with it but it would be a different situation in the summer.
We walked along the beach and found several lovely coves which could only be accessed by walking through the sea; it would be lovely to come here if the weather was good tomorrow.
We walked back along the beach, stopping at one of the bars for a beer and ended up staying for a few hours and eating there. We talked to Jason via the Wi-Fi on face time and saw Elsie, our 5 mth old granddaughter; we were missing her lots and are really looking forwards to seeing her in July when Jason & Jenny are bringing her out to our house in Spain for a holiday. Back to the van and slept once again with the sound of crashing waves sending us to sleep.
15/5/2013 Day 24 INLAND TO SILVES
I was woken at 5am this morning by a seagull padding about on the motorhome roof and making the weird culling sound they make. He started pecking along the roof and I was worried that he would peck at and damage the solar panels so I got up and thought if I pulled back the blackout blind on the roof vent a few times the noise would scare him off. I pulled it back and there he was standing on the vent looking down at me through the glass……he was huge and could have fed about 20 people at a Xmas dinner! My flapping the blind didn't scare him off in fact it seemed to make him more inquisitive so I just shut it and went to back to bed. After padding about for a few more minutes he flew off.
It was still quite windy today but very dull as well and now and again a few rain showers started. We gave the inside of the van a good wipe down to get rid of as much sand as possible from the surfaces then we had a walk along the road and went into a café for coffee & to use the internet. In the bar we got talking to a couple at the next table who were staying at one of the hotels in Alvos. They said it was a popular seaside resort made up mostly of hotels and up until yesterday they had had 30° heat and had got quite burnt some days.
It didn't look like the weather was going to get any better so we opted to move inland to Silves, a town with a bit of history & some monuments to look around.
It was only 15 miles away so didn't take long to get there. If the weather improved over the next few days we might head back to Alvor & the lovely coves.
In Silves we found the parking place that I had read about, a car park next to the swimming pool just on the edge of town. We parked and Tony chatted to a chap behind us as he came over to our van – I don't know his name but am going to call him Kevin. He told us a bit about the place, where to empty waste & get water etc. he also said the Wi-Fi at swimming pool was free and you could access it by sitting on the benches outside – a bonus! It seems that this is a popular spot for long timers and in the winter as many as 100 vans are parked here, happily today there are only 20-30 motorhomes & 1 caravan already parked up.
Tony got his bike out and had a look round the area, we were parked close to a river and he was keen to see if he could take out his kayak on it. He found the tourist information office and came back with a few maps and some road cycling routes.
We walked into town. It had turned quite cold when the sun went in so we got out the long jeans to wear – thought I had put these away until we returned to the UK but obviously not!
We walked along the riverside into town. There were a couple of derelict buildings on top of which some storks had nested. They were standing tall and clicking their beaks loudly – it sounded like someone banging two cricket bats together.
The town was empty but we found out that there was a big football match on TV so everyone was watching it. We went to a restaurant that Kevin had recommended..
We found the restaurant and had a lovely meal – Bread & olives, fish soup, Spare ribs for Tony (actually the menu said "spear ribs "), piri chicken for me, desert, coffee, two beers and a bottle of water – all for 7.50E each, a bargain!
On the way back to the van we passed a bar on the corner of the street from which music was coming. We went in and found a music bar where tonight they were having a jamming session for musicians, or anyone else for that matter, who wanted to play along. There were a couple of girl singers who got up and sang songs and a guitarist & drummer who played. The main chap was a keyboard player who, according to the American bar owner, was an accomplished musician and was showing others what to do. We had a drink and listened to them play for a while and then got up to leave. Tony stopped to look at the electric guitar and the keyboard player asked him if he played. "A little" Tony replied so he got Tony to sit down and play around a bit with them. Hopefully this will appease Tony's annoyance at having left his guitar at home for this trip (Fortunately it's not one of the items on my motorhome check list!). After ½ hr of playing we left & wandered home.
Kevin was standing outside his van drinking coffee and stopped us to chat; it feels like he lurks around waiting for people to come by. It was very cold so I made an excuse and went inside but Tony had to stay out & talk to him for some time before managing to get away. We know he has a teenaged disabled daughter with him as we have seen him put her in her wheelchair and take her for a walk but haven't seen anyone else with him. He seems to spend most of the day getting things out of his garage and putting them away again. He enjoys talking to people and approaches every new van that arrives.
Tony went out for a long cycle ride this morning, armed with his map and Garmin.
I had a leisurely shower & hair wash, washed out some smalls and then set off to find the fresh water with my containers in two bags. Our local guide, Kevin, said that there was a water fountain in the children's park the other side of the swimming pool so I walked to that area & found it. It was one of those fountains that you push a button and the water squirts out in an upwards arc – he hadn't told me this nor had he told me the arc was about 6ft high and landed 3ft in front of the fountain. I spent the next ½ hour feeling like I was on "The generation Game" by trying to catch the water in my containers. After gathering as much water as I could I staggered back to the van.
Kevin was emptying out his garage, again, dragging out a small generator which then attracted a small crowd of men who looked and pointed at it until he fired it up. They all stood around looking at it running for a while and then wandered back to their own vans.
I sat writing up my blog until Tony came back. He said he had had a good run out – 45 miles and had gone up some high mountains, the highest 3000ft. We noticed that Kevin was showing someone how to wash the windows on his van – turns out he had a 'Thai girl' hidden away in his van, the only time we saw her was when she came out to wash the windows!!
In the afternoon we had a walk into the town to see the castle & museum. After walking up the steep & narrow cobbled streets we came to the castle, 7E to get in but this does include the museum. The castle, ruins only really, was good to walk round and from the battlements we could see the countryside for miles from every side, the museum however was really just a collection of old pots!
We had lunch at a café on the street. Tony had fried squid which was really tasty, I had octopus salad which was also good but the salad consisted of lettuce, tomatoes and cold BROCCOLI…..
Bought today's newspaper and wandered back to the van. We watched a film, Tony chose "Time travellers Wife" which I told him he wouldn't like as it was a romantic film but he insisted on watching it (I think he thought it was more sci-fi) and sure enough half way through he'd had enough but did manage to watch it all the way to the end which I was glad of as I had tried to read the book but couldn't keep up with all the toing & froing through time and had given up so it was nice to know the ending.
Whilst we were watching the film I was trying to think of what to have for tea that was quick and not too much trouble. For some reason 'eggy bread' came to mind (for the uninitiated this is bread dipped in beaten egg and fried) something I used to cook for the children but hadn't done so for years. Anyway when the film had finished I tidied up a bit and then asked Tony what he wanted for tea, when he replied "Actually I really fancy eggy bread" I nearly fell over – spooky, physic or what!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, eggy bread cooked & eaten, another episode of 'Boardwalk Empire' watched and then bed, hoping tomorrow would bring better weather.
Dull, overcast & black clouds looming – no change there then.
We are heading for the coast and if it's no better there then we are definitely giving up and heading for Spain.
We set off for Praia del Rei near Tavira thinking as it is the east side of the peninsular it might be sheltered.
There were people along the route picking snails from the plants to eat.
Traveling on the country roads every now & then we would come across a set of traffic lights that would always turn red as we were approaching them. There was no side road or pedestrian crossing to be seen so we could only assume they were there to keep making cars stop so as to limit their speed. Tony was sure that they were on sensors so if he was going too fast they would change to red to stop him but I don't think they are that advanced out here.
At one road junction we were waved down by a group of about six men wearing official looking jackets, Tony was going slowly anyway as he was turning left so pulled up in the middle of the junction, wound down his window to see what they wanted as not sure if they were police or something official.
The chap he spoke to was waving a wad of papers with a few Euro notes clipped to the top and in broken English said that they were the local Fire brigade collecting for a new Fire Engine……….. having been caught by these scams before, even though he looked genuine Tony said 'sorry, No' and drove on. We thought afterwards that there was no official vehicles such as a fire engine or fire car at the scene and it was not exactly a safe spot to stop so the chances were that they had just acquired the jackets and were scamming drivers – anyway are fire engines provided by donations???
Pedro del Rei was a small town that I had ringed (in red!) on my map for some reason - we parked on the seafront at the end of the town. It was quite deserted and as we sat there it started raining. We got out and walked to a café for toasted sandwiches & coffee. From there we headed up the coast to Ayamonte – Portugal's last chance to impress. Although it looked quite nice there was nowhere to park so we decided to give up and head for Spain
We headed over the border via the motorway (non toll) to Seville.
I had co-ordinates for an Aires on the outskirts of Seville but when we got there the co-ordinates were a housing estate. We drove round some very narrow streets before heading back to the motorway to try again. Going back we saw another motorhome doing the same route so thought they might be going the Aire so followed them but they took the same route as we had just done. Driving along I suddenly saw the Aires – it was on a jetty in a small marina but how to get to it was another question. Tony pulled up; I got out to look where the road was in but all I could see was a big set of black gates with the marina behind in the distance and no way to reach it. I got back in the van, we drove up a bit then parked and Tony got out his bike and rode back to try to work out how to drive to the Aires. When he got there the other campervan was just parking, apparently you had to undo the big gates and drive through them, not at all obvious and no signs. He said the Aires did not look that nice considering you had to pay 12E for them so we headed to the other side of Seville to a campsite for the night that was the same price. I had read that you could get the bus into Seville centre from a bus stop right outside the camp; it would also be a chance to catch up on the washing.
After a few wrong turns we eventually found the site and parked up. The bays were quite small and had overhanging trees so we had to park at an awkward angle to fit in but managed it. I put the washing in the machine then we had a cup of tea in the van and I managed to speak to Louise in India which was a bit of a relief as I had been worried about her because she had a touch of delli belly and I hadn't spoken to her for a few days but she assured me she was feeling a bit better
Tony went to the toilet block and came back saying our washing was done and someone had taken it out of the machine, if I gave him a basket he'd bring it back to the van. I said that there was a bag next to the machine to use that but said I would go – good job I did as it wasn't our washing but some other chaps, ours was in a different machine.
Tony thought he would have another try at tuning in the TV as we were now in Spain, amazingly, straight away, he got 11 channels without fiddling about so there was nothing wrong with the aerial after all we just couldn't get TV ion Portugal. Anyway, all the channels were in Spanish so turned it off and had a walk into the local town to see if there was a restaurant or bar we could eat at. None to be found but we did find a cycle shop which Tony spent ages looking round – it was three storeys high.
Back at the van I cooked sausage & chips, using my double skillet for the chips. They took ages but were passable but not enough to convince me so will be selling it when I get home!
The first bus into Seville was at 9.30 so thinking it would be packed we decided to catch the 11am one, also reasoning that we wouldn't have to get up so early and rush to the bus stop.
We had reckoned without the people on the pitch next to us who were up at the crack of dawn making loads of noise.
The bus stop was a bit of a walk from the camp site but we found it ok and sat down on the shelter seats with another couple who were also waiting. We had 20 mins to wait but during those 20 mins about 30 people arrived to catch the bus. If I say they were German you will all know what happened when the bus arrived – they all made a beeline for the door, no matter who was at the front of the queue! Anyway we all just about got on. I asked for two return tickets and the fare was E1.60 each, very reasonable I thought. The journey was about half an hour and we were dropped off right in the centre of Seville.
As soon as we got off the bus we were surrounded by touts selling tickets for the tourist buses and walks but we pushed through them and went to the first monument, the Plaza de Espana. This was a huge semi-circular building with a big tiled centre section with a small canal on which rowing boats could be hired. There were a lot of people milling around, it was very popular. We also noticed that there were quite a few wedding couples having their photographs taken in this area. There were also lots of children walking round Seville in different areas in confirmation dresses so I would assume that Saturdays are wedding & confirmation days.
Walking round the Plaza de Espana building we saw a Military Museum that had free entry so we went in. It was excellent, lots of interesting exhibits and explanations in English as well as Spanish. We spent some time people watching, there were lots of touts and gypsy's selling lucky heather accosting all the tourists.
From there we walked around the big park and on to the Alcazar, the Royal Palace. Entry was 8E or 2E for pensioners. I tried to get Tony in as a pensioner but he didn't have any identification on him so he had to pay full price. It was only later I realised that 60 is not a 'pensioner' it's 65!
This building had been used by royalty throughout the ages but I have to say it had not been looked after very well. They had numerous fountains that were crumbling away and not working, various ponds around the site were very green and unkempt and the tiled walls didn't look like they had been preserved very well either. There was not a lot to see, just lots of separated court yards and gardens. It didn't take too long to look round and before we knew it we were back out on the streets and 16E poorer.
As it was lunchtime we looked for somewhere to eat. Tony fancied a McDonalds, compromising I said I would go to Burger King as there was one close by so we went in. Well, it was packed to the hilt with screaming kids so we made a quick exit and, as I was desperate for the loo we had a coke at a nearby bar. We walked along the river for a while and then decided to get a Burger and eat it outside on one of the park benches but when we went back into Burger King it was relatively empty so 'ate in'. This was the first 'fast food' burger that we had had since leaving the UK and although not usually a fan I have to say it was really good! (please note we do not frequent or search out McDonalds or Burger Kings but there are times when nothing else will do!!)
We thought we would get the tourist bus to go round Seville, this way we would see all the places that we wouldn't be able to get to in one day. It was 17E each and the ticket was valid for 2 days. We paid and waited for the bus. When it came we got on but the only available seats were downstairs at the back behind the stairwell. My headset didn't work so I was unable to listen to the commentary until Tony kindle offered me one of his ear plugs – so there we sat, head to head with one ear plug each, people must have thought we were being very romantic!! We couldn't see very well but half way round we were able to locate to the top deck which was open so was quite windy and you had to duck to avoid the overhanging branches of the trees. A group of Spanish girls on a Hen outing got onto the bus and started singing & making lots of noise but got off a few stops later. We noticed lots Stag & hen groups all around the city wearing various outfits.
The historic buildings around Seville are numerous and they all look quite Islamic. I had read in the museum that this area was the centre of Muslim activity in the past for hundreds of years and it really showed in the types of buildings.
We had intended to get off at the Plaza Espana and get the bus back to the campsite but by the time the bus arrived at the stop we had missed it so we stayed on the tourist bus for a few more stops then got off and walked back through the streets and along the riverside. We intended to get the 7.30 bus but as we stopped for an ice cream (at Haagen Dazs no less) we missed it so had to make sure that we got there in time for the 8.30pm bus as it was the last one back!!
They have a tram system running through the centre of town, and together with these, the pony & traps for hire, cycle carts and cyclists so we seemed to spend a lot of time dodging traffic.
We arrived at the bus stop in plenty of time and sat watching the parakeets flying around in the trees. When we got onto the bus I gave the driver our tickets to which he laughed and said that was for one way and I had to pay E1.60 each to get back – thought it was cheap.
There is always the worry that you won't know which stop to get off on the way home as they may go a different way and this was indeed the case but there was another couple heading for the campsite and they came to the front to ask the driver to tell him when to get off so we were ok.
Back at the campsite we went to the bar with the computer to use the free WIFI to decide where to go tomorrow. The choices are Cordoba – more historic sites; Granada – yet more historic sites or head for the coast. The coast won, so we will head there tomorrow.
Back to the van to bed, we were both shattered and had the best night's sleep for ages despite hearing the music from the nearby nightclub (aka brothel).

The 15 most promising up-and-comers of the year.
Before we get to sharing the bulk of our "best of" lists with you this year, it's time to highlight 2015's biggest surprises and success stories. The fifteen artists we've chosen for our breakout list seem even more diverse than those on last year's list, with different genres, voices, opinions, and even countries being represented here.
The music video is making a comeback, in a big way. More and more, we are seeing artists take the time (and the money) to invest in a visual that is truly a piece of art, or at least, a piece of cinematic creativity. This year proved to be an eventful one when it comes to hip-hop and r'n'b music videos.
Miss Erykah Badu has nestled her way back into the minds of everybody recently with her new mixtape, which included the infectious "Phone Down" and the creative twist on Drake's "Hotline Bling." She's been DJing around the country as Lo Down Loretta Brown, as well as selling out venues with her live show.
In 2003, twin brothers Taiwo and Kehinde Hassan, now known as the production duo Christian Rich, got their first placement on a Lil Kim record. That was when they were both Speech Communication majors at the University of Illinois in Champaign, a couple of hours south of their native Chicago. That same year, they gave beats to Clipse and Foxy Brown.
Curren$y built the foundation of his following on a legendary run of mixtapes that started around the 2008 era. It was seven (count 'em!) tapes of spitting over classic hip hop beats with a fresh flow that poised him to be the next big thing in New Orleans hip hop.
If anything foretold the type of year Drake would have in 2015, it was the release and ensuing impact of Summer 2014's "0 To 100." Dropped off unannounced on OVO's Soundcloud while most of the rap world's eyes were on Summer Jam, the popular loosie eventually hit the radio, went platinum and scored two Grammy nominations, redefining the bounds of a non-commercial non-single.
Jeremih's newest album Late Nights: The Album is full of sexy R&B that is sure to play soundtrack for a number of romantic nights in the coming years. Production from Vinylz, Frank Dukes, RetroFuture, London on Da Track, and more thickens the air with a sexy vibe each time you give the record a spin.
We kicked off our annual year-end segments with the first part of Hottest 50 Songs of 2015. While you wait for the next two parts, we're releasing our list of the top 10 Most Searched Artists on the site over the past year.
With the release of Black Market, Rick Ross laced us with a whole new set of luxury raps over rich production. Amidst his boss-level kingpin talk, Ross peppers the tracks with material possessions that are usually reserved for the financially elite.
The singing equivalent of Jay Electronica? Hardly. Some grandiose, Detox-style statement? Nah. The Chinese Democracy of R&B? Bruh.
We got a wealth of new music last Friday, and, indeed, Rick Ross, Kid Cudi, and Jeremih all added tracks off their new albums to this week's Top 10. Lyrically-minded fans are still reeling from the week before, though, when Kendrick and Cole exchanged remixes. Both "Black Friday" tracks comfortably stuck around for this week's Top 10.
Who/what is GoldLink? This is the question that led me, one evening earlier this year, to trek through sleet and bitter wind to MoMA PS1 in Queens, where GoldLink was performing in the giant geodesic igloo that stands in PS1's courtyard. Like most of my fellow concert-goers, I had no idea what GoldLink looked like, or where he was from.
After delivering a tutorial on Kodak Black back in October, we've returned to highlight the youngster's music. The "SKRT" artist seems to make controversial headlines each month, whether it be for getting arrested or beefin' with Soulja Boy, but today we're going to put all of that aside and focus on the very thing that got him here.
OutKast's "Best New Rap Group" acceptance speech at the 1995 Source Awards has been cited again and again as the turning point for Southern Rap, the moment when it became viewed as more than a novelty and began its gradual game of catch-up to the East and West Coasts.
There is much we can learn from rap Instagram, much to read between the lines as rappers attempt to craft their image without pesky publicists looking over their shoulder. Take a look at some of the best hip hop Instagram posts of the week after the jump.
If you're reading this, it means hip hop plays a big part in your life. You've got memories from years ago that helped to cement your fandom of the genre. For me, one of those nostalgic checkpoints is making sure I'd get home from school in time to catch Missy Elliott's music videos playing on MTV TRL and BET's 106 & Park.
You don't peg Erykah Badu as the type of artist to release a mixtape. Her albums are well thought-out, seemingly in every sense. They're rich with instrumentation, passing as top-notch soul music while keeping a foot in the hip hop scene.
Where last week we were overwhelmed with mixtapes, this week, we're bombarded with albums. A ton of album/EP streams have hit the site today, with the most notable belonging to Rick Ross, Curren$y, G-Eazy and Kid Cudi. This week's Staff Picks catches up on a few big songs that came out late in the day last week (most important: Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole).
Tory Lanez's big single "Say It" continues to garner radio play, while the rapper is currently on the road for his Swave Nation tour. As his fanbase broadens, it's warranted more and more press, not to mention, some really important features-- from G-Eazy to Meek Mill to Freddie Gibbs, everyone's been tapping Fargo.
Kid Cudi has a record coming out tomorrow called Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven, and apparently it's almost completely void of rap music. While we obviously respect Cudi's artistic decision to do whatever the fuck he desires, we like to remember Cudi back in his mixtape prime. He was a brainy oddball, known for taking non-rap sounds and bringing them into the hip hop world.
Rap is traditionally a young man's sport. Generally speaking, the 'greatest albums of all time' were put out by youngsters. As rappers age, their albums usually become duller than the early work they're best known for. Almost every rapper has fallen victim to this trend.
A Tale Of 2 Black Fridays: Comparing & Contrasting J. Cole & Kendrick Lamar's Remixes | 68,919 Views
The "real rap" answer to Drake and Future's What A Time To Be Alive has been gestating for just about as long as those two stars' chemistry, and like their more hedonistic counterparts, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole seem to have held out for a full-fledged collab project until they were both top-tier rappers.
After announcing his retirement via a poem the other night, Kobe Bryant took the court to face the Indiana Pacers for the second-to-last time in his career. He alternated between flashes of brilliance and moments that made his decision seem logical, ending up with a 13-point performance that was far cry from his glory days, but respectable for your run-of-the-mill NBA starter.
No Ceilings 2 was always going to be stacked up to the first one. The classic 2009 tape is often regarded as Lil Wayne's last great project, with each album and mixtape since falling below the bar he set with his classic run of releases in the late '00s.
No one was more thankful last week than hip-hop fans. On Thanksgiving, we feasted upon Lil Wayne's follow-up to his 2009 classic mixtape, No Ceilings, and the hysteria continued on Black Friday with 34 new tracks from Chris Brown and some much-needed Free Crack from Lil Bibby.
Chris Brown joined the impressive list of artists releasing new music this past holiday weekend with his surprise mixtape, Before the Party.If you were like me on Black Friday, you were still near-comatose with a Thanksgiving Hangover, your stomach pushed to its limit with eating.
Anderson .Paak has had a huge year. He was one of the unique voices of Dr. Dre's Compton album, sure, but he's also released a number of his own tracks along with being featured alongside some of the biggest names in the business. His ability to transcend traditional rapping/singing techniques to create a unique voice of his own has made him a go-to as of late.
There is much we can learn from rap Instagram, much to read between the lines as rappers attempt to craft their image without pesky publicists looking over their shoulder. Take a look at some of the best hip hop Instagram posts of the week after the jump.
A Conversation With Freddie Gibbs: Rap's "Silent Killer" On Embracing Melody & Honoring Gucci Mane | 15,071 Views
Things haven't always looked this clear for Freddie Gibbs.
With Thanksgiving behind us, there's the remaining hours of Black Friday as well as the impending Cyber Monday to slowly (or quickly) transition you into the holiday scene. Over the past day or two you've probably noticed the influx of mixtapes, which we realize, mean you have a ton of new music to keep you busy over the weekend, and hopefully longer than just a weekend.

Thierry Decorniquet is in the process of building a Pocher Bugatti which will set a new standard for super-detailers. Adding some major after-market components is becoming the baseline for these wonderful models, but Mr. Decorniquet has raised the bar with his meticulously researched and executed brass details. Wiring on the chassis and firewall is always a tempting subject, but few builders take such delight in adding the wiring behind the firewall which will be hidden once the body is installed. Correct down to the retaining clips, this display of detail is accompanied by a thorough use of i.d. and technical plates.
The engine-characterized by extreme simplicity of design-has always challenged the model builder looking to amaze viewers, but Decorniquet has gone for the long ball by attacking brackets and levers down to their smallest examples. The complex levers of the supercharger and carburetors are not just suggested, but correct down to the smallest bushings.
Remarkable in itself is the effort to activate the handbrake quadrant so that the locking sprag mechanism is not only represented, but by all appearances it actually functions. The miniature driver is confronted with a brake lever that can tighten the brake cables and lock them in position to maintain pressure on the brake shoes. Mere mortals may need a moment to gather their wits once they discover this tour de force of detailing.
But just as most of us are recovering our equilibrium, the cables from the handbrake lever-works of art in themselves-lead the eye to the magnificent bicycle chain/sprocket assemblies at the front brakes.

According to the recent report of China-telecommunications.com, HP's board ousted CEO Leo Apotheker and appointed the former CEO of eBay Meg Whitman to succeed Apotheker. This is HP's third time to fire CEO in six years.
HP's chairman Ray Ryan said, we are very grateful for Leo Apotheker's efforts and services since he became the CEO of Hewlett-Packard in the last year. HP requires immediate appointment of an independent director. China-telecommunications.com (http://www.china-telecommunications.com/products/) reports that HP's board of directors believes that HP's CEO position requires additional attributes to the successful implementation of the company's strategy. Whitman has the appropriate operational and communication skills and leadership to improve the implementation and financial results.
China-telecommunications.com points out that since Apotheker served as HP's CEO, he has lowered earnings expectations of Hewlett-Packard for three times and has expanded the softwareproduct portfolio. Last month he decided to spin off PC business and spend $ 10.3 billion for the acquisition of UK's software company Autonomy. It is generally considered the price is too high.
China-telecommunications.com analyzes that a few weeks ago, HP's Board of Directors approved and publicly supports Apotheker's plans to implement reforms for HP, and although the investors criticized these initiativesand HP's shares suffered heavy losses. Apotheker may receive compensation and severance pay of $ 35 million.

A Flame Forever Bright
Dirk Willems gives his life to save his enemy
Claudia Esh / TGS International
Lucia Willems greatly admires her big brother Dirk. He treats her kindly and works hard to provide for the family. But he leads a dangerous life at odds with the law. With beliefs rooted in the teachings of Jesus, Dirk baffles his friends and angers the authorities. And when he acts on his beliefs and saves the life of his enemy, the whole town is shocked.
Lucia is angered at the injustice in her world. Yet as she faces her anger and pain, she remembers her brother's example. She finally learns that it is possible to live in a kingdom where forgiveness wins, evil is repaid with kindness, and death is a new beginning. More info...
Radical Islam
How Would Jesus Respond?
Gary Miller / TGS International
Terrorism. From the barbarous actions of ISIS to the shocking tactics of al-Qaida, radical Islamic extremists seem to be everywhere and growing stronger. We can hardly pick up a newspaper or listen to a newscast without being assaulted with another wave of their horrific acts.
Americans wonder in alarm: What if this movement keeps growing? Will it overtake the West? Will it forever change America's way of life?
But there are other questions we as Christians should be asking: How should we respond to radical Islam? Does the Bible have answers? How would Jesus respond? More info...
Voices of Syria
War-weary refugees tell their stories
Katrina Hoover / TGS International
Bombs fall. Buildings explode. People die. The war in Syria is a seemingly endless cycle of death and destruction. Yet behind the numbing statistics and finger-pointing headlines are real people—men, women, and children whose voices are seldom heard. Millions of them have fled their homeland in a desperate attempt to survive.
This book is a collection of Syrian refugee stories, an attempt to give a voice to ordinary people whose lives have been shattered and who long for peace. These stories are told in the context of the author's trip to the Middle East, a trip where she experienced Middle Eastern culture for the first time as she listened to brokenhearted Syrians who had fled to Lebanon and Jordan. Hear their stories. Listen to the voices of Syria. More info...

Follow the author and his family as they discover these wonders and many more in a single two-acre Ohio backyard.

Freedom's Star
Rebecca Martin Heritage Series #5
Rebecca Martin / Carlisle Press
This is a story of two families. Both lived in the United States. Both wanted to see Canada. It was 1816.
The Peter Miller you met in Clyde the Rebel is now grown up, with a family of his own. He is a wealthy Pennsylvania farmer who, along with his married children, moves in order to own more land. Peter and his family load an enormous Conestoga wagon and travel to Canada in style with a team of four draft horses.
Not so the Paul Bolger family. They are slaves on a Virginia plantation and they are fleeing from cruel oppression. Always fearful of the slave hunters, they must run by night and sleep by day.
Kind friends help the Bolgers along. Though not yet known as the Underground Railroad in 1816, a route exists where slaves find lodging as they flee. It's because the Miller family has a slave hiding place that they get to meet the Bolger family.
But the Bolger's can't stay long. They must go on, following the Freedom Star.

If so, which school should he choose?
What should he do about finding a life's companion? Although he knew many fine girls, it did not seem as if he had found the right one. Did God have a godly young women for him—somewhere?
God would make His placements where it pleased Him, and Daniel had only to follow. The years ahead would prove that the threads of life were not all golden.

Feed-sack material was used for making a lot of things, such as tablecloths, tea towels, quilts, and pillowcases. But for a school dress?

Amazing Insects Around the World
Coloring Book
Anthony Hurst / Hurst Publications
What is so fascinating about insects? First of all, they show the amazing creativity of God, our Creator. Scientists have identified around one million species of insects. But they estimate that there may be a few million more to discover and identify! The Amazon region of South America and the Congo region of Africa are just full of these unidentified critters.
Second, consider the immense variety of instincts in insects. Take, for example, just bees and wasps—so many types of nests that they build, and so many different foods that they eat. How do they know what kind of nests their species should build? Do they ever get mixed up and try to build one like their neighbor's? No, of course not. God gave them the natural ability to build the nest just like they are supposed to.
As you color these pictures, I hope you are amazed and thrilled with the greatness of God. More info...

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Macon County; the Hon. Paul
M. Francis, Judge, presiding.
Rehearing denied November 16, 1984.
On January 21, 1983, plaintiff, Harold F. Tenney, filed this action against American Family Mutual Insurance Company for legal fees and expenses incurred in the recovery of a subrogation claim. Following a bench trial, the trial court entered judgment for plaintiff in the amount of $694.31. Defendant, American Family Mutual Insurance Company, appeals.
The basic facts of the case are uncontroverted. On May 13, 1981, a vehicle driven by Robin Moore was struck in the rear by a vehicle driven by Barbara Spencer. Defendant, Moore's insurer, paid him $2,042.50 under its medical payments coverage. On January 14, 1982, Moore retained the plaintiff to represent him in his claim against Spencer.
By letter dated October 29, 1981, defendant notified Moore that it had a subrogated claim against Spencer to the extent of the medical payments it had advanced. The letter advised that defendant would deal directly with Spencer's insurer, State Farm Insurance Company, regarding the subrogation claim. Defendant also informed Spencer and State Farm of its subrogation claim, and of the company's determination to collect.
On February 25, 1982, defendant expressly notified plaintiff that he was not to collect the subrogation claim. Plaintiff replied by letter, stating in part:
"I am aware of your subrogation rights but nonetheless want you to make payment [of Moore's medical bills]. We will have to see what is involved in Robin's claim against State Farm before we know whether you should contribute to his legal expenses. However, I acknowledge that you are denying responsibility at this time."
At trial, plaintiff admitted that soon after he began representing Moore, he became aware that defendant did not wish him to collect the subrogation claim and would not pay him if he did so.
On November 24, 1982, plaintiff filed suit on behalf of Moore against Spencer. Shortly thereafter, a settlement was reached in the amount of $2,625 for bodily injury and $517.36 for damages to Moore's automobile.
State Farm tendered a check made payable to Moore, plaintiff, and defendant. Plaintiff offered to endorse the check if defendant would agree that an endorsement would not constitute a waiver of plaintiff's claim for attorney's fees and expenses in connection with the recovery of the subrogation claim. Defendant refused to assent, demanded that plaintiff endorse the check, and threatened to file suit if he refused to do so. Plaintiff then filed the present claim against the defendant for legal fees and expenses.
The trial court ruled in favor of plaintiff by applying the "fund doctrine." The "fund doctrine" is based on the equitable concept that an attorney who performs services in creating a fund should in equity and good conscience be allowed compensation out of the whole fund from those who seek to benefit from it. (Baier v. State Farm Insurance Co. (1977), 66 Ill.2d 119, 361 N.E.2d 1100.)
"In order to recover under the doctrine it is necessary for a plaintiff seeking recovery from a subrogee to show (1) that the fund was created as a result of legal services performed by an attorney * * * (2) that the subrogee did not participate in the creation of the fund, and (3) that the subrogee benefited out of the fund that was created." Smith v. Marzolf (1980), 81 Ill. App.3d 59, 64, 400 N.E.2d 949, 953.
Defendant argues that the fund doctrine does not apply because: (1) plaintiff was informed that he was not representing defendant, (2) yet plaintiff forced his services on defendant, and (3) defendant assisted in creation of the fund.
Defendant claims that its efforts, and not plaintiff's, created the fund. The record does not support this argument. Plaintiff filed suit on Moore's behalf, prepared interrogatories, took other preliminary steps for discovery, and arranged for Moore to be examined by a medical expert in preparation for litigation. The record indicates that it was through plaintiff's negotiation that the suit was settled.
Defendant asserted its subrogation claim to Spencer and State Farm by letter and indicated that it would look to State Farm for payment. However, the correspondence also indicated that defendant merely expected State Farm to reimburse it after State Farm settled with Moore. Defendant did nothing to enforce its claim by legal process. State Farm denied all liability and offered no settlement until plaintiff filed the lawsuit on behalf of Moore.
Illinois courts> have recognized that the fund doctrine should be used with caution. (Powell v. Inghram (1983), 117 Ill. App.3d 895, 453 N.E.2d 1163; Boehm & Weinstein, Chartered v. City of Chicago (1978), 62 Ill. App.3d 68, 379 N.E.2d 4; Maynard v. Parker (1979), 75 Ill.2d 73, 387 N.E.2d 298.) In Maynard, the plaintiff was obligated to pay his hospital bill whether or not he recovered anything on a personal injury suit. The supreme court held that the fund doctrine did not apply and that the hospital was not required to pay a portion of the plaintiff's attorney fees even though the hospital's statutory lien against the plaintiff's personal injury claim was satisfied with the funds obtained by the settlement of plaintiff's claim. The court distinguished the situation in Maynard from the situation in which a plaintiff is obligated to pay the subrogee only in the event, and to the extent, that any net recovery is obtained.
In Boehm & Weinstein, the court held that the fund doctrine did not apply where the defendant merely had a lien for plaintiff's medical expenses which was satisfied from the proceeds of the settlement of plaintiff's tort action. The court stated that the fund doctrine should be applied only in cases where the subrogee is an insurance carrier and there is an express subrogation agreement between the insured and the insurer, requiring the insured to initiate legal action against the tortfeasor.
An issue similar to that presented in this appeal was addressed in the recent case of Powell v. Inghram (1983), 117 Ill. App.3d 895, 453 N.E.2d 1163. In Powell, the plaintiff had signed a subrogation agreement with the defendant insurance company. The agreement required plaintiff to pay her insurer from any recovery received by judgment or settlement. The defendant insurance company notified plaintiff's attorney of its subrogation lien, and disclaimed any intention of employing plaintiff's attorney to collect the lien, but requested him to "protect" its interests in the event of a settlement. The appellate court held that the insurance company's refusal to hire the plaintiff's attorney while seeking to benefit from his services in obtaining a fund from which it would be reimbursed required application of the fund doctrine.
Powell differs from the case at bar significantly. In Powell, the plaintiff, through her attorney, had filed suit against the tortfeasor several months before any correspondence occurred between the attorney and plaintiff's insurance company. This suit sought the total amount of damages arising from the tort. Ten months later, the plaintiff submitted a claim for medical expenses to her insurance company. The claim included her agreement to reimburse her insurance company in the event damages were recovered by settlement or judgment. Plaintiff's insurance company then sent plaintiff's attorney a letter notifying the attorney of its subrogation rights and indicating that it would not be employing the attorney. Therefore, in Powell the attorney had filed suit and had been involved in the case for 10 months before the insurance company indicated that he would not be retained as counsel.
In the case at bar, the attorney admitted that he was aware soon after he began representing Moore that defendant did not want him to collect its subrogation claim and did not intend to pay him anything if he did. The attorney filed suit on behalf of his client nine months after this notification. We find no reason why plaintiff could not have filed suit on behalf of his client for damages minus the insurer's subrogation claim. The insurance company had the right to file suit on its own behalf for its subrogation claim. Hitchcock Air Conditioning, Heating & Piping Co. v. Hazen (1976), 43 Ill. App.3d 483, 357 N.E.2d 69; Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 110, par. 2-403(a).
• 1 A claim for attorney fees under the fund doctrine is an equitable remedy. One is not entitled to recover for services, however, when the services have been knowingly rendered for an unwilling recipient. (See Pope v. Speiser (1955), 7 Ill.2d 231, 130 N.E.2d 507.) This principle applies to recovery for attorney fees under the fund doctrine. Powell differs from the case at bar because the attorney in Powell had filed suit and had been involved with the case for 10 months before he was notified by the insurance company that the insurer would be an unwilling recipient. The attorney in the case at bar admitted that he became aware that the insurance company would not pay for his services shortly after he undertook representation of his client, Moore.
• 2 Under the circumstances of the case at bar, we find that it would be inequitable to apply the fund doctrine. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the circuit court of Macon County.

Half of its content are healthy fats that help lower the level of bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. These are healthy fats because they are unsaturated (mono and polyunsaturated), oleic and linoleic fatty acids and omega 3.

It is estimated that regular consumption of a handful of nuts reduces cardiovascular risk.
On the other hand, they contain antioxidants (including vitamins E and C)that are essential to combat the effects of free radicals responsible for some degenerative diseases and aging substances.
The presence of these substances, which fight against free radicals, nuts gives an additional heart-healthy effect due mainly to the ability of tocopherols to protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) vs. action of free radicals.

L&G executive decides small is beautiful
Adrian Swales, former investment consultant at Mercer and Aon, expects to double the assets administered by his Mobius Life boutique to £10 billion by 2015, after hiring a top business developer from Legal & General.
Mobius facilitates the purchase and sale of fund units by exchange arrangements through an insurance wrapper.
It has hired Craig Brown, former head of global consultant relations at Legal & General Investment Management, as distribution director. Swales said: "We are taking on Craig on a full-time basis and he has become a shareholder."
The boutique was backed by Sir Brian Souter, co-founder of transport group Stagecoach, in August 2013 following its purchase of businesses from financial services firm Alexander Forbes.
Swales said: "If we don't hit £10 billion by this time next year, I shall have failed in growing this business." He said accounts in the pipeline will raise assets under administration to £8.5 billion in the near future.
"Institutional investors and their advisers are increasingly demanding more bespoke approaches, which is why we are seeing a strong demand for our services", he added.
Prior to LGIM, Brown was head of consultant relations at HSBC Investments. He was a senior consultant at Mercer between 1985 and 2001, when Swales worked at the firm.
