Frequently Asked Questions
Tel : (+33) 05.62.09.31.98
Fax : (+33) 05.62.09.38.67
There is a working email address.
At this time, no. The applications must be sent by post.
But if you have already been a jim's volunteer, you could sen your identity photos by e-mail which is given in the letter sent by the bénévole's office [this information will be available at a later date and need to be confirmed]
Yes, under the condition that he is accompanied by an adult, either another benevole or someone else present at the festival. And since 2008 it seems that the minor has to be a person living in Marciac too and be registered as a student in Marciac's school in the Music section.
No. BeneJim does not take applications under any circumstances. BeneJim is meant to inform, entertain and be shared.
Normally, if you are new you have to follow the process described in this article. If you are returning, the office send you an official letter which ask you if you come back and if the informations that you've registered last year (mobile phone, postal adresse etc) are right. Please inform the office during the year if your adress has changed! Then, return the letter as asked within and you will be normally registered for the upcoming new festival
During the year the bureau may only be able to check emails and process applications on a once-a-week basis, during which time the arriving applications may build up and take longer to get through.
Please get in touch by phone during business hours : [this information will be available shortly]
There are two possible cases :
You have sent your application early in the year (January for example), the delay is normal because the organization must wait for a core of applications to arrive, in order to best assign benevoles to each area.
You have applied a bit late: understandably, at this stage it may be harder to find you a placement !
As a result : please be patient. If you somehow find yourself unable to receive mail for whatever reason in the next few weeks, inform the bureau by phone or post.
To enable us to better estimate the typical turnaround time, please respond to this poll when you have received your response in the mail ce sondage lorsque vous aurez reçu votre courrier.
Yes of course, it is especially appreciated on certain benevole teams in which the bulk of the work must occur before and/or after the festival (preparatory activities etc). Let the benevole bureau know that you can extend your participation beyond the official duration of the festival, if you want to work during these times or if you arrive early and get bored
In general it's not good to lose it, but it happens nevertheless. It's in the blood of the benevoles. The phenomenon is exacerbated by fatigue, and particularly problematic in the shower shuffle. If it happens, head straight for the bene bureau to let them know.
First and foremost, thank you on behalf of JIM Normally the positions are "long term", but certain festival-goers offer to fill in during the festival if they are willing to put up with last minute arrangements. Talk to the bene bureau to see about getting a replacement.
Wouldn't it be great to know !
BeneJim estimates the number at around twenty, within which there are maybe a dozen sub-groups. The size of the staff varies from one sector to another. Soon BJ will allow you to find other benevoles by sector of involvement, and we are waiting for photographs that you can use on this site or on others, which will give you an idea....
In our experience, there is no sure way to do this, except under particular conditions. The first to arrive get first pick [this information will be available shortly]
It will be required that you return your badge to the bene bureau or to your volunteer sector.
Jazz In Marciac prepares a special dinner for the benevoles on the last night of the festival. It was started in 2007 thanks to the efforts of JIM's club restaurant, reputed to serve the best steak at the festival... Since 2007 the dining experience has unfolded right in the heart of it all, surrounded by music se déroule aux arènes et en musique, with a unique menu. We are polling bene-members sondons les bénémembresto get their impressions of the new developments. We still don't have the official word regarding what will be renewed or changed for the upcoming festivals [this information to come]
Probably yes! es There have even been international contingents during certain years, like the Jazz Au Coeur du Monde volunteers from secteur Jazz Au Coeur.
JIM values this international flavor, and additionally the backstage and "off" sector, working in close proximity with the artists, appreciates polyglots. Applications for non-French speakers:[this information will be available shortly]

Seattle PI-
State officials are charging foreclosure trustee Cal-Western of Washington Inc. with unfair and deceptive business practices, and a temporary restraining order has been issued in King County Superior Court that halts its foreclosures until May 29.
Cal-Western is a Washington foreclosure trustee with an office in Vancouver, Wash., but the company conducts many of its operations in southern California. Foreclosure trustees are required to act as neutral parties between borrowers and lenders while conducting foreclosure proceedings.
The Washington State Attorney General's Office alleges Cal-Western gave borrowers an incorrect phone number in their Notices of Trustee's Sale and Foreclosure, making it difficult for borrowers, some desperate to save their homes, to contact the firm quickly without physically traveling to Vancouver.

I heard you making patterns rhyme
Now, one band I've been following since the very beginning is celebrating a landmark moment in their career. Today marks the 30th anniversary of the release of "Planet Earth", Duran Duran's debut single.
I distinctly remember the very first time I saw the video. As I've mentioned previously, my dad used to work at a production house in NYC that duplicated UK sourced videos for US labels. Everything was transferred from PAL to NTSC and lovingly delivered to the record companies for distribution to clubs and a fledgling cable channel called MTV.
The site of Simon Lebon prancing around in a tea towel made me feel a bit sexy before I explored the real meaning behind that twitch in my loins. I was very taken with Lord Nicholas Of Rhodes and his sense of "fashion". The pink feather duster wig. The frilly shirt. He looked like a futuristic, colonial soldier. Roger's awkward shyness and plain attire made him seem at odds with Duran's visual aesthetic. Still, he was droolworthy and I needed an endless supply of hankies. For my overactive saliva glands, natch.
Somehow, their rag tag look worked. The band were made up of distinct individuals not characters. The sum of their parts pulled all the threads together in a cohesive sonic and visual unit.
As a teenager in the shadow of the Manhattan skyline, I had no clue about the New Romantic movement. The music spoke to me. The Rum Runner and Blitz Club didn't even make a ripple on my radar until I started reading i-D and The Face, THE essential Brit mags for a self-proclaimed Anglophile. That was about two or three years after "Planet Earth" touched down on my small home stereo.
But what about the song? I remember being obsessed with the sound of it. I could pick out bits of Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk and Chic. The chorus could've been lifted from an old Bay City Rollers single. The past, present and future collided in one swift three and a half minute pop opus.
And what about the b-side? Strong enough for an a-side! I couldn't believe "Late Bar" had been relegated to the flip of "Planet Earth". In fact, when "Late Bar" didn't appear on Duran Duran's debut longplayer, I was shocked. I remember making a cassette tape of the elpee and adding the b-side to the end of it. There are few bands that boast b-sides as a-side contenders. And the mighty DD has had many of them.
So, here we sit with our lattes and iPads as Duran Duran release their thirteenth longplayer, "All You Need Is Now". Certainly a strong album. One worthy of their long and distinguished career. And "Planet Earth" doesn't sound out of step with the current league of electro flavored pop stars. It's deliciously retro and super fresh at the same time.
In terms of a timeline, imagine if The Beatles had released a new album in 1994. That's the length of time between Duran's debut and their current elpee. That blows my mind. I think I need to rest my weary head after that little realization.
And I'm not the only who can't bend their brain around that. Check out John Taylor's thoughts as he ruminates about that inaugural pop explosion. You can read his recollections over at the official Duran Duran website.

Ah, yes, I first heard the Double Duran [r.i.p. - J.J. Jackson] by way of their Night Version of this debut single, so just like OMD, I was on board with this band from the very beginning. Oh, the ups and downs I've seen and heard in lo, these many years. These many vintage years!ReplyDelete
I got a kick out of your comment about redoing the album with Late Bar appended.ReplyDelete
A hobby of mine is re-imagining albums with the b-sides and remixes integrated into them. Not like what you see on Amazon digital downloads nowadays where you have an old 80s album and at the end of it here are 6 mixes and b-sides, I try to figure out a place where this stuff fits (sometimes rearranging the original tracklisting to accommodate).
Some of the mixes I use I made myself and others I've pillaged from sites on the web where folks do they same thing, my basic rule is I want something that is a 'night version,' i.e. a longer version with an instrumental break, not something that is so technofied that you are unable to recognize the original song.
I call it the 'Re-made, re-modeled' project and so far I've done the entire Pet Shop Boys catalog, the old Tears for Fears stuff, Depeche Mode up through about '93 and all sorts of odds and ends, some Bryan Ferry, Thomas Dolby, Swing out sister, ABC, David Sylvian, the Blue Nile...whatever grabs me when I decide to start working.
It's been real fun but it takes a lot of time and my wife and I just had a baby last week so I see a break from this for a while.

i recall being out dancing the summer or 1981 in nyc - it was either the peppermint lounge or danceteria, i forget which, and i heard this song. disco beat, whooshing synths, and chorus filled with bop bop bops. fell in love with the song and the band.ReplyDelete
I've always quite liked them and had Rio on cassette back in the old days but never really became what I would call a fan until hearing their new album: it's the most Duran Duran album they've ever made! Been listening to the 2CD versions of their first three LPs this week and may progress to some later stuff... hmmm...ReplyDelete

DanProject76 - I know this is a shameless plug, but you could do a lot worse than to read my 6-part Rock GPA® series on the complete discography of Duran Duran for aesthetic guidance!ReplyDelete
Regularjoe - What can I say? Your taste is impeccable! My drive is making insanely detailed and nit-pickingly complete boxed sets of god or BSOGs® if you will, so I under stand your similarly curatorial drive.
- Tom in Portsmouth, NH (USA)February 3, 2011 at 8:26 PM
Ah, yes, lots of memories here. Although I didn't join the DD club until the album was released in mid '81. I was working in a record store at the time, and still have that original vinyl copy on Harvest Records—with the long version of Planet Earth. As I remember, the album only sold moderately well (in its first incarnation), but I did my part to promote it by playing it in-store as much as possible.ReplyDelete
BTW, Vinny, I enjoyed reading your post. The part about Roger being "droolworthy" was funny because I felt exactly the same way about DD's sexy drummer! "...an endless supply of hankies." Indeed!
In 1981 not one Teen Magazine in the US cared a bit about Duran Duran. I was working in the music/celebrity photo business (concert, session and paparazzi photographers) and part of my job was to "push" images at some of the Teen Mags in NYC. The agency I worked for rep'd a photographer that did a session with D2 just after the Planet Earth or Careless Memories came out and I shopped the images around. NO ONE BIT! I was really big on them and even had them on my walkman at the time at one magazine... Then I was at minor teen mag called Teen Bag a few months later trying to push a Matt Dillon session when I noticed the re-released debut album at the top of a pile of albums that the record companies had sent over. I asked the editor if I could put it on her turntable and she fell in love with them and picked up the cover and asked if I had any images...I reminded her I did (Andy had blonde hair in the pics). Well the rest is history... They were feature and cover stars of the next issue and probably 10 of the next 12 issues. Once Rio came out the following May, they were teen darlings and on MTV every 10 minutes...ReplyDelete
@Regularjoe - Thanks. I've done that ever since I was a kid. Funny how that turned into a job running the catalog department at EMI!ReplyDelete
I like the way you reimage an album. I might take a look at doing that myself on an album or two to see how I like it.
@Echorich - Very cool story! I wonder what the catalyst was for the interest in DD before MTV launched. Clearly, there was something going on. Then their arrival on the music channel pushed everything over the edge. That kind of crossover exposure fascinated me back in the day.ReplyDelete

Hey! Speaking of re-imaging an album, by pal James [engineer @ Chicago Trax at the time] and I worked on [yet another] alternate version of "Rio" back in the early 90s. "RIOmix" featured alternate and extended remixes of each of the tracks.ReplyDelete
Obviously, we used the DMC edit of "Save A Prayer" since it was the only easily available alternate remix available at the time. Cheating, really. But all alternate versions of that cut are post-modern, right? I seem to recall hearing another DJ mix of "Prayer" in a early 90s club "Old Wave" night that was much better. Does anyone have any clues?
I wish I could find my original Photoshop files for the cheeky cover art… I printed the cover art on a ca. mid-90s laser printer and can do so much better now.
Echorich - Brilliant anecdote. Kudos for doing your part to light the fuse.
- AnonymousSeptember 30, 2011 at 9:14 PM
Hoo Hah! I found an ancient CD-ROM with the art files for the Riomix disc my friend and I worked on in '98. Visible here:ReplyDelete
Whatta hoot that one was.

Indian research groups, laboratories, postdoctoral and PhD students affiliated with an accredited academic institution or a non-profit research institution in India can apply to host or invite a motivated and well-qualified undergraduate student from Freie Universität Berlin to assist as a research intern in their proposed research projects in India. Different application periods exist for the Indian and the German side. More information can be found here.
Freie Universität has singed partnership agreements (Memorandum of Understanding - MoU) with Delhi University, IIT Madras and the University of Hyderabad about the exchange of graduate (students enrolled in Master's programs) and doctoral students. With a grant, the stay of 1-2 semesters can be funded. Please consider that beginning and end of the academic year in Berlin and India differ. For detailed information (deadlines, application procedure and grant amount), we kindly ask Master's and Doctoral students of Freie Universität to contact the university's International Affairs department, e-mail: email@example.com
In the context of the Bologna reform process, the increase of student mobility was one central demand by all actors in the higher education field. The new mobility program PROMOS aims to achieve this increased mobility through scholarships for short-term stays (up to 6 months). The stipend is awarded by the university itself through a quality-oriented selection process. A detailed description can be found on the DAAD website.
Further information can be obtained from the Office for International Student Mobility, Brümmerstr. 52 (U-Bahnhof Thielplatz), 14195 Berlin, Tel: +49 (0)30 838-73930, E-Mail: email@example.com
The DAAD 1-Year Stipend is the classic funding mechanism for Germans studying at an Indian university. All information can be obtained from the DAAD website.

The ICCR offers scholarships to non-Indian students. In the past, the number of scholarships for German students has generally been higher than the number of applicants, which is why a successful application is quite probable. Further information can be obtained on the website of the ICCR or directly from the Culture Counsellor at the Indian Embassy in Berlin (email@example.com).

Flexible Flatfoot: Symptoms & Treatments
Flexible flatfoot is a progressive condition that typically occurs in children and adolescents. The arch of the affected foot is visible when sitting but collapses when standing. One of the most common types of flatfoot, people with this condition usually bring it into their adulthood as the symptoms may not surface or bother them until much later, when the tendon has deteriorated over the years.
Patients with some preexisting conditions are at higher risk of getting flexible flatfoot. Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and obesity put stress on the tendon that supports the arch, causing it to stretch or tear over time and eventually collapse under pressure.
Other factors like old age, injury to the foot, bunion, hammertoe and short Achilles tendon can also lead to flexible flatfoot.
The first signs of flexible flatfoot are pain and swelling along the inside of the ankle. As the condition worsens, the front of the foot and toes would turn outward and the heel rolled inward. If treatment is further delayed, the pain would shift to the outside of the ankle with the risk of developing arthritis. Patients are also likely to complain about pain along the shinbone, lower back and knee.
The doctor would first look out for the collapsing and returning of the arch when you stand and sit. Your feet are observed from the front and back to see how much the forefoot has turned outward. An X-ray, CT scan, ultrasound or MRI may be ordered depending on whether details on soft or hard tissue are required.
Non-Surgical Treatment:
Treatment would only be necessary when the symptoms have surfaced. Usually, non-surgical treatments are sufficient to relieve the symptoms. Methods may include the following:
- Rest
Reduce or stop activities that aggravate the pain. Rest your feet more often and avoid standing and walking for too long.
- Immobilization
A boot or cast helps to prevent weight bearing to allow the tendon to heal.
- Orthotics
Orthotics are shoe inserts that can be customized to give support to the arch.
- Losing Weight
If obesity is the cause of the condition, weight loss would help to relieve the pressure and pain.
- Physical Therapy
Doing exercises stretch the Achilles tendon and provide stability to the joint.
- Medication
Medication may be prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation.
Surgical Treatment:
If non-surgical treatment does not relieve the symptoms or if there are other problems such as a tendon tear or rupture, surgery would be required. Depending on the injury and severity, these methods might be considered:
- Tendon Transfer
- Foot Lift
- Joint Spacer
- Bone Fusion or Realignment

Diesel scrappage scheme may be on the way
In an effort to reduce urban pollution the government is considering a scheme that encourages people to scrap their diesel cars...
A scheme to encourage owners of the most polluting diesel-engined cars to trade them in for greener ones is being considered by the government, according to a report by the Telegraph.
Why is the new scheme being considered?
The newspaper stated the Department for Transport and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is looking into the possibility of introducing a scheme that would target areas with the highest levels of pollution.
Apparently the Treasury has agreed to provide funds for the plan, which could be introduced within a couple of months. Just like the UK's first scrappage scheme introduced in 2009, the diesel one is likely to offer a cashback payment or discount to motorists who trade in highly polluting models for ones with lower emissions.
Transport secretary Chris Grayling highlighted the urgency of tackling the UK's pollution problem while speaking in the House of Commons. He said: "We have to find the right way to migrate the nature of the cars on our roads and the vehicles on our roads to a point where they cause much less of a pollution problem than they do at the moment."
Mr Grayling's also reasserted his commitment to increasing the number of electric vehicles on our roads and providing more charging points for them.
How serious is pollution in our cities?
The news broke just days after Westminster Council announced a 50% parking surcharge for diesel vehicles in a bid to reduce the number of them parking in the borough. Its aim is to cut nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions, which increase the risk of respiratory problems in humans and are said to increase the risk of cancer.
London is one of the UK's most polluted cities, with NO2 levels exceeding official limits regularly. When limits were breached earlier this year, the London Mayor advised people to stay indoors and put off exercising until levels dropped.

A while ago I saw a book on Amazon that grabbed my eye. I mean seriously, when you see a book with the title "Slay me," said the dragon, how can you not be intrigued, right? So I grabbed it, read it, laughed, shuddered, and was thoroughly entertained. Not a bad thing considering I'd never read Stephen del Mar's work before. I knew he was personable on twitter, we'd exchanged courtesies with each other often and that was nice. It was especially nice when he told me there were more books in his Slay me world—which definitely intrigued me considering his world building was curious.
So when I found out that Mr. del Mar was doing a book tour I jumped at the chance to be on it…I love bringing new authors and books to your attention…but absolutely love doing it with books I've already read. Think of it as a bonus for me.
So please welcome Stephen to my blog today. :)
Thanks, I'm very excited to be here. This is my first blog tour. Basic stuff about me: I'm a 54 year old gay man living in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. I have a background in media production and attended seminary for a while.
I've just finished and released "Hunter Moon & the Red Wolf," which is the last book in "The Live Oak Tales." This series is a fun and, at times, a quirky take on contemporary/paranormal fantasy. We have witches, faeries and a number of shifter folk all trying to do the right thing and live together. All of this is set in the Bennett Bay area on the Gulf Coast of Florida. A fun little place I've made up. I wanted a place where I could condense all of Florida into one county with a tourist town and backwater villages. I've been very influenced by the southern literary traditions and setting is always one of my main characters. A strong sense of place is a must for southern fiction, as is a bit of spirit, in whatever form that may take.
What are your thoughts on literacy criticism, specifically with your books?
I take it seriously. If someone has taken the time to buy one of my books and leave feedback, the least I can do is take their views into considerations. The only ones I ignore are the obvious trolls on Goodreads, especially the one who obviously didn't read the story. One reviewer pointed out a word I was using way too often in dialogue, it slipped by me, my beta readers and my editor. And I noticed I was using it in the book I was working on at the time. Yeah, I really appreciated that note. I should have sent her a box of candy.
I understand that my stories aren't for everyone, no book is, and I take that into account. Overall I really appreciate feedback. (Don't be shy about saying hi! We writers love to hear from our readers.) Writing is communication and communication is a give and take thing. I think it's exciting we now live in an age when I can finish a book and click on a link at the end and send the writer a little note and they answer back. I think I would have wet myself if I could have done that as a kid. Imagine getting an email back from JRR Tolkien or Arthur C. Clarke?
Now as I already stated, Slay me really grabbed me with its title and I had to read it. What's the genius behind how you title your books?
Don't know it's one of those mysteries of writing things. I usually have a title before I begin. It's some kind of thesis statement for me. "Slay me," said the dragon was this line I had in my head. What if a dragon asked to be slain? Why would it ask that? How could it ask that? And the short story that launched my paranormal series was born. "Dark Love" is a metaphor for gay love, back when it had to be hidden. For too much of history, gay people had to find their love in darkness. They often didn't have love, just quick sex in dark places. It's a story about love coming into the light.
There are lots of new authors in the M/M genre. What new ones have grabbed your interest?
Well, new as in new to me, I just started reading Angel Martinez's works. Very good. I need to read some more of Bellora Quinn's stuff. I've beta read part of a story of hers and really liked it. I need to download some of her published work. I recently read Brandon Shire's "Summer Symphony" and really enjoyed it. I need to read more of his work. A very strong writer. I find the men in his books very believable.
What part of this whole writing gig drives you batty?
Probably what everyone says, finding the time to do it and keeping focused when I do have the time. I have bouncy brain syndrome. I can lose myself on social media or researching something and then I look up and hours have past. Sigh. I need a keep sometimes.
I love that! Bouncy Brain Syndrome it is. :) Last question then we'll get down to the *clears throat* serious book business…name your four most important food groups.
Fried, curried, BBQ, and roasted.
Book Names: The Live Oak Series: Dark Love; The Bear, the Witch, and the Web; and Hunter Moon and the Red Wolf
Series: The Live Oak
Should be read in order
Release Date: Book 1: Spring 2015, Books 2 & 3: May, 2015
The Live Oak Tales is a paranormal/contemporary fantasy series set in the wider Stories from Bennett Bay collection by Stephen del Mar. The series consists of one short story ("Slay me," said the dragon.), which serves as a standalone prequel and three novels, Dark Love, The Bear, the Witch and the Web, and Hunter Moon and the Red Wolf.
"Slay me," said the dragon. is a tongue-in-cheek look at a romantic encounter between a dragon and a slayer. It sets up the mythology of dragon shifters that runs through the rest of the series.
Dark Love, a metaphor for gay love, takes us from the ordinary world of the Bennett Bay, a Gulf-side tourist town in Florida, to the tiny, backwater village of Live Oak. Dieter Reinhold, the proprietor of a trendy café in Bennett Bay's Spanish Quarter travels back to Live Oak to deal with the death of his great uncle, the man that raised him as a father. While there, he learns there are more interesting creatures in the woods than he ever imagined. He discovers that magic, witches, and undying love are real.
In The Bear, the Witch and the Web, Innes Callahan and the circle of witches we met in Dark Love are facing a number of crises. The greatest of which is that the faeries are missing. In fact, all the enchantment seems to be gone from the Jumble, the wild woods adjacent to the farm. They need to find the faeries and discover who the new Witch of the Wood will be.
The final book in the series, Hunter Moon and the Red Wolf, finds the Circle still in disarray as Janos Pac tries to come into his own as the new Witch of the Woods. This is complicated by a plot by the dragons and wolves returning to Florida after nearly a hundred years, but are they really wolves?
These books are on the lighter side of the paranormal spectrum with a fair bit of humor. However, they do touch on deeper issues. Dark Love explores loss, grief, and what it means to hide one's love. The stories also explore what it means to make hard choices about our path in life; and, an overarching theme is the changing nature of family as we move through life. How we move from our family of birth to the family we create with friends and lovers.

"Slay me," said the dragon: 45 pages
Dark Love: 398 pages

Excerpt from Dark Love: Book 1 in The Live Oak Tales
Setup: Dieter is alone at the family's old farmhouse after the death of his uncle. His ex-lover and still good friend Innes comes over to comfort him. Innes finds the mysterious silver box Dieter found out in the barn, which seems to have human ash in it. Innes warns him that it might be dangerous. Innes is a witch and Dieter thinks magic is bull. Innes calls in his mentor, Flora May Crawford, to help him convince Dieter there is danger afoot. It doesn't work. Later, Innes calls back with another warning for Dieter. It doesn't make him think Innes is any less crazy.
Of course that was the moment my phone made the little nose-twitch tinkle-tinkle. I sighed, go with the flow and remember you love him.
I picked up the phone. "Hello, Innes."
"Didn't you get my text?" He sounded flustered.
"No. I haven't looked at my phone. I've had other things on my mind."
"Oh. Right. Well, what are you doing?"
"Sitting naked in the kitchen having soup and a sandwich."
"Because I was hungry. What do you want?"
He didn't say anything for a moment. I heard the creak of a screen door and the chirping of frogs. He must have moved outside onto Flora May's front porch. "Look," he said, "Flora May just got back from the faeries." He paused like he expected me to comment. I had nothing.
"She's not telling me a lot. Said they're pretty agitated about the whole thing."
Again the pause. Again I was silent; although I was worrying my grip on the phone would reach its crush point.
"Dieter, you gotta promise me to take this seriously."
Actually, I didn't have to promise him anything.
I heard him swallow. "Tonight is a full moon."
"So? It happens every twenty-eight days from what I understand."
"Fuck." He was agitated. "Listen, whatever you do, don't jack-off in that box under the full moon."
My mind kicked into neutral and spun its gears as it tried to make sense of the string of words it just received. Because they didn't make any sense and they kept coming.
He continued. "I mean it. Whatever you do, do not mix your semen with that ash in the full moonlight."
Some emergency back-up system took over. My thumb slid over my phone and ended the call. I stood up, opened the fridge and pulled a beer out. I twisted the top off and dropped it on the table. I pushed my way through the swinging door into the living room. As I fell back onto the couch, I tried to imagine a world where the idea of masturbating into a box of human ash existed, let alone the need to warn someone not to do that. Ohhh, I'm gonna cum, make sure the drapes are pulled and the lids are on all the urns, 'cause we don't want our spunk and ash and moonlight to mix! 'Cause that will start the zombie apocalypse or something.

PHD lost his cell phone one morning. His solution went like this:
1. Run up and down stairs looking for phone in places he's never been, yelling random curse words while throwing sofa cushions around.
2. Borrow Boy 1's phone for the day.
3. Go to cell phone store to price out new phone and recycle Boy 1's phone. (????)
4. Come home and shout at wife when she wonders why he would have recycled Boy 1's phone, and if paying $650 for a new phone is a good solution.
Total time spent: 10.5 hours
Planned spending: $650 + gas to cell phone store = about $6,000. I may be exaggerating slightly but I am not including the cost to replace the recycled phone so it's probably close.
My solution:
1. Tell Boy 2 if he can find the phone I will pay him $20.
2. Find phone on arm of sofa beside the spot PHD likes to stand to talk on phone.
3. Pay $10 to Boy 2 because he looked really hard, too.
Total time spent: 5 minutes
Total spent: $10
I won! Then I think about what I have actually won and I feel sad. But not for long because I won! Plus I just saved us $6,000 with my awesomeness so I am off to the mall. Nope, sorry, exaggerating again, it is only $5,990, or something like that. I'm not very mathy.

Only a few more sleeps until I'm attending Nuffnang Blogopolis 2012. I can't tell you how excited I am. OK, yes, I can. I AM EXCITED!
I think I'm as prepared as I can be but I'm still dithering over the breakout sessions.
As a newbie blogger, I need help with EVERYTHING. Katrina from the Block (love her!) and her The Media Maid blog design business is running one breakout class on Blog Design 101, which is on at the same time as SEO & Analytics for Dummies. This one might as well be titled "Kimba Must Attend", such a gumby I am when it comes to SEO and analytics!
However, I'm really interested in blog design, too. I use a WordPress template but I've been toying with the idea of creating a Kimbalikes logo and incorporating this into my blog. Hmmm, what to do, what to do?! Luckily, Katrina has replied to my comment on her Blogopolis post, letting me know she'll have a recap up on her blog. Oh, thank goodness. There's one problem solved!
The next breakout session has The Ins & Outs of a Media Kit up against Creating a Brand for Your Blog. I think I would benefit equally from both of these sessions. I'm still undecided as to which session to attend, but I think I'm leaning towards learning how to create a media kit. No, maybe creating a brand would be better for me? Actually, I'm hoping I can get cloned as I'd love to attend both! This is valuable information I need to know! I'm really torn about this decision – anyone got any feedback or advice for me?!
The final breakout session is a panel about the opportunities gained from blogging, and a lesson on Blog Photography 101. As much as I'd love to attend the panel, I think I would benefit more from the photography session. I hope I won't be embarrassed when I rock up with my little girly pink point and shoot Canon Ixus! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the panel will be filmed and I'll be able to catch up later.
I'm really looking forward to learning more about blogging and I'm hoping this newbie blog old dog can learn lots of new tricks. I'm also really looking forward to meeting many of the people I've connected with on Twitter and through our blogs, including some of my blogging idols. Nikki from Styling You told me she is excited to meet me – how cool is that?!
Are you attending Blogopolis? Do you keep accidentally typing Blogopolish like me? Have you decided which breakout classes you're going to attend? Love to hear your advice and feedback!
Oh, and can't wait to say hi at Blogopolis! 🙂 I'll be the one in the mad pants with a big smile!

Smoked Chilli Spiked Hot Chocolate
Chocolate and chilli are a pairing as old as time. And, adding a firey kick of chilli to a much of steaming hot chocolate is just about the best way to enjoy this favoursome duo.
As the weather has taken a bit of a turn and winter is closing in around us, I though it was about time I made a hot drink that warms you through in more ways than one! So, my friends, here is the Smoked Chili Spiked Hot Chocolate…
Grab your supplies…
Two heaped tablespoons of rich dark chocolate finely grated
Mug of milk
Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce
Large marshmallow (oversized pumpkin shapes are optional!)
This will make a mug of hot and firey chocolate, scale up the quantities to create a larger yield and keep it warm on the stove for your wintertime guests to enjoy!
Tabasco pepper sauce is one of my kitchen cupboard staples and it was only a matter of time before it found it's way into a mug of hot cocoa! You can, of course, add in a regular Tabasco or pepper sauce, but I love the rich smoky flavours of Chipotle, which really add depth to this recipe.
Add a splash of boiling water to the grated chocolate, just enough to melt it and to form a rich, thick chocolate paste. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of Tabasco Chipotle peper sauce.
Warning: OK. Here's where I should probably come clean and let you know that I'm fanatical about firey foods, so the amount of pepper sauce that you add will need to be something that you feel comfortable with. We all have different tastes, so if you're not confident with chillies, try adding a few drops at a time to the chocolate and tasting until you have just the right mix. You will want to have just enough kick from to chili to warm your lips and leave a smokey aftertaste to the combine with the sweetness of the chocolate on your palate. I don't want you guys blowing your heads off here, so test it out to get just the right mix for you!
Combine the melted chocolate and chilli mix with steaming hot milk and pour into your favourite mug, top with a crown of foamed milk and a large marshmallow. The marshmallow, not only looks cute (particularly this supersized pumpkin one!) it will also slowly melt with the heat of the steamed milk and add another wave of sweetness to the drink, this sweetness will take a bit more of the edge off the heat from the chipotle pepper sauce too!
Finish with a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate – just the perfect treat for warming you up after a cold evening of Trick Or Treating!
