Stairway to Heawen

1625 km

Extreme motorcycle tours that will take you to the highest mountain pass in the world! Riders are ready to cross the limits! This motorcycle safari tour is one of the best ways to discover the Indian Himalayas on your next holiday. Experience pure and complete pleasure taking the challenge of the twists and turns, riding your 500cc Royal Enfield motorcycle through the stunning landscape of the Indian Himalayas. Colorful fluttering prayer flags spreading their spiritual messages, prestigious Buddhist Monasteries, holy rivers, sumptuous turquoise lakes capturing the reflection of arid mountains with snow-capped peaks – welcome to the world of Ladakh! We start our riding journey along with Beas river towards of the town's 332 residents Jispa to natural rock and sand formation place Sarchu via yeti’s play ground ''More Plains'' till Capital Of Ladakh ''Leh''. Visit the Leh&Ladakh!

Tour program

Day 1. In morning we come to pick you up at the Kullu Airport or at the bus station and drive you to your hotel. Our representatives are there to provide you all the services and soon you'll be introduced to the bikes and all details about the tour. Go-Pro cameras on helmets, riding gears, Royal Enfield Bikes, let's start riding around Manali Valley with adventure activities!

Day 2. Head to Jispa. We will cross the Rohtang pass which reaches an altitude of 4050m and from where you can see the snow white peaks of Lahaul Mountains that contrast with fluttering Buddhist prayer flags along the way. The pass provides a natural divide between the sub-humid/humid Kullu Valley with a primarily Hindu culture (in the south), and the arid/semi-arid high-altitude Lahaul and Spiti valleys with a Buddhist culture (in the north). From that side, we follow our route towards Jispa. This little village, barely 332 inhabitants, is situated at an altitude of 3200m. Jispa is usually promoted by travel operators as a necessary halt on the way to Ladakh when coming from Manali. Located right at the banks of river Bhaga, Jispa will offer you a fabulous view of the valley and an incomparable peace.

Day 3. Get ready to cross the Ladakh borders! We'll ride on a torturous zigzag shaped uphill road that lies in the shadow of the hanging glacier to Baralach La (4900m). Further, at Lachulung La, you can see incredible natural sculpture built by the wind blowing through the rocks of a canyon that reminds one of a scenery in Arizona. We start our descent to the green fields of Sarchu plateau and finally reach Pang, an useful halt on Manali-Leh highway. There we'll camp and spend a fun and convivial time together before sleeping among the clouds as this place reaches an altitude of 4500m!

Day 4. We follow our route in direction of Tsokar Lake. We take an endless strip of asphalt loops that look like scratched into the reddish cliffs and start our descent on the ''More Plains'' road, a long, wide and straight road. The More Plain is home to many species of animals like the Tibetan wild ass or kiang, wild horses, marmots. If you are lucky, you can even spot Changspa nomads camping in the surreal landscape of the More Plains. Flanked by beautiful mountains on both sides, this area is a major attraction to the Bikers heading towards Leh from Manali. This huge ''top-of-the-world'' plateau presents a landscape unlike anything else on your journey. After the visit, head to Tsokar Lake, a fluctuating salt lake situated at 4530m altitude. It is known for its size (22 km²) and depth (95m) but also for its incredible bird abundance and diversity. After appreciating an immense and sumptuous panorama showing nature at its best, be ready for the next mother's nature masterpiece! With a depth of 105m and a size of 120 Km², Tsomoriri Lake is located at an altitude of 4595m and is the largest of the high altitude lakes in the Trans-Himalayan biogeographic region, entirely within India. The captivating color of the lake surrounded by majestic mountains, the incredible wealth of fauna and flora will make you feel like in a veritable heaven upon earth. This place is such peaceful that after nightfall, you could hear only your own heartbeat... or the roar of a snow leopard!

Day 5. After witnessing Mighty, endless, vast, abundant, clear, beautiful Tsomoriri Lake we will ride to Ladakh "Leh". 250kms.  Ladakh is a high altitude desert as the Himalayas create a rain shadow, generally denying entry to monsoon clouds.The mountain ranges in this region were formed over 45 million years by the folding of the Indian plate into the stationary Eurasian Plate. The Indus River is the backbone of Ladakh.

Day 6. On this day we will take a short break from the long ride to see more of Ladakh’s main sights. India’s "Little Tibet" was highly influenced by the presence of Singge Namgyal, the greatest king of Ladakh, who decided to open the famous trade route to Central Asia region. In 1974 the region was opened for visitors and since 2002 has a substantial number of tourists. Nowadays, Leh is the most important town and the capital of Ladakh region. With 27,513 inhabitants and an altitude of 3524m, the town tripled its size in the last two decades and became a focal point for sightseeing. In addition of its many cultural places and monuments (Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace, Leh Mosque, Namgyal Tsemo Gompa...) mostly influenced by a Tibetan secular architecture, you will find great enjoyment losing yourself in the small charming narrow streets, going to meet local people and hang around in the small craft shops and markets.

Day 7. From Leh, we are ready to explore the fabulous Nubra Valley, a high altitude cold desert (about 3028m altitude) with rare precipitation and scant vegetation except along river beds. On the road, we will travel over the Khardung La pass listed in Guinness World Records as it is 5602m high! The world's highest motorable pass. After taking again your breath, we start entering in the Nubra Valley where you will be impressed by the incredible diversity of its landscapes. Snow-capped peaks, Rocky Mountains full of surprising contrasts and colors, and at its base sand dunes, bordered by an abundant vegetation and its river. You will fully enjoy visiting the Diskit Monastery where is exhibited the 35 meters statue of Maitreya Buddha, go swimming in the Nubra River, riding on the back of camels or just taking a walk in that unusual surroundings.

Day 8. After taking advantage a last time of this wonderful place, we will begin our trip to Pangong Lake, we will start in the early morning to ride to Pangong Lake. With a size of 700 km², a depth of 100m and an altitude of 4350m, Pangong Lake is also called "long narrow enchanted lake"  by the Tibetans. Although its water is salty, the lake freezes completely over in winter. We will stay there for one night, camping in the middle of one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world!

Day 9. We start our journey towards Karu after crossing 3rd highest Pass in the world Chang-La (5360mts.)

Day 10. We take the road again towards Sarchu, (also known as Sir Bhum Chun), a major halt point with tented accommodation. We will spend the night there at an altitude of 4290m!

Day 11. From Sarchu, we begin to ride back in direction of Manali, through the wonderful region of Keylong that will still captivate you with its unique and majestic landscape. Back to Manali where our riding days come to the end. For our last night a warm farewell with camp fire, barbecue and guitar live show will be organized with our Team.

Day 12. End of the tour. In the morning, you are free to do some shopping for the family and friends. Shawls, Tweed jackets, costume jewelry, Tibetan handicrafts are the local arts and crafts that you can find easily in Manali and for a reasonable price. After lunch, a transfer to the Kullu airport or Manali bus station will be organized by our team as per your schedule.

February Sketchwalk

Our sketchwalk this saturday will start from the new Paya Lebar Square mall. At 9AM, please meet outside Ya Kun Kaya Toast on the outside of the mall. It's just beside Paya Lebar MRT Station). After a short briefing, you are free to explore the area in any direction.

Look at the map and you will be able to find two old malls and also the new OneKM mall. The old malls have this very old atmosphere inside. It's like stepping into the past. You can also relax at a cafe and draw if you are at one of the 2 new malls. The industrial buildings are on the other end. Please watch out for big vehicles when sketching there. Closer to Aljunied MRT station are two big temples which some of you might find interesting. One is very ornate. The Geylang East Library is a quiet pleasant library just beside the MRT tracks. And not far from there is the famous Geylang area where if you like drawing shop houses, it's all there.

At 12PM, we will gather outside Aljunied MRT station below the tracks (facing the library). There, we shall do the show and tell.

For lunch, I recommend a Penang restaurant located at one of the shophouses just outside Aljunied MRT station. Try the Penang Char Kway Teow ($5) or Assam Laksa. Their other dishes are good too. The indian food next door is also decent.

What. SNOW. Again?!!

Ok, this is getting a bit ridiculous. I mean, yesterday, we were out walking without coats, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, the heat was off, we even broke out the bubbles. Now, there is another foot of wet snow. It started before we awoke. It fell all day. It is Andre’s fault since yesterday he took the winter tires off of the car because, “there won’t be anymore snow...”. I told him to not say that out loud. He did it again. Now this. The world is once again a winter wonderland. I headed to Canmore for a haircut and had to turn back after only a few KM. I could not see 5 ft in front of me. It was ridiculous. It would have taken me forever to get there, and then back. No thanks. My neighbour did the same. And she was headed there for work. Not worth it, she said. So, instead I made Polaroids, Quin watched Sesame Street, we had lunch, napped. It was glorious for the most part. I did tons of laundry and ironed for the first time in ages. We will be all set for our Minneapolis trip.

This evening I had my second sewing class, at the Banff High School, about 3 blocks away. I love the class and the instructor. She is so positive, bubbly without being too bubbly, just a great person. Tonight, I hemmed two pair of pants, which is a bit boring for most but was a THRILL for me, because I now have two more wearable pairs of pants in my wardrobe, and a new, useful skill under my belt. It was a fun combo of machine and hand sewing. And I will use it a lot in the future, since I am not short but pants are always too long. Yippee for sewing!

SNOW! It's been so long since I have seen it, it blows my mind that everywhere else people are STILL getting snow. I've always wanted to take a sewing class - that is great.

A time to bake - Cut-Out cookies

Miss TikiBoo received some kiddy baking kits as gifts, so one of her favourite things to do at the moment is make these pretty cookies!

* 6 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 2 to 3 tablespoons just-boiled water
* 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
* Food coloring, preferably pastes
* Special equipment: cookie cutters

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and moving towards moussiness, then beat in the egg and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and eggs, and mix gently but surely. If you think the finished mixture is too sticky to be rolled out, add more flour, but do so sparingly as too much will make the dough tough. Form into a fat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Sprinkle a suitable surface with flour, place disk of dough on it, and sprinkle a little more flour on top of that. Then roll it out to a thickness of about 1/4-inch.

Cut into shapes, dipping the cutter into flour as you go, and place the cookies a little apart on 2 parchment or silpat lined baking sheets.

Bake for 8 to 12 minutes; obviously it depends on the shape you're using and whether they are on the upper or lower shelf, though you can swap them around after about 5 minutes.

When they're ready expect them to be tinged a pronounced gold around the edges; they'll be softish still in the middle, but set while they cool.

Remove the cookies with a flat, preferably flexible, spatula to a wire rack. When they are fully cooled, you can get on with the icing. Put a couple of tablespoons of not-quite-boiling water into a large bowl, add the sieved confectioners sugar and mix together, adding more water as you need to form a thick paste. Color,as desired. I think pastes are much better than liquid, not just because the range of colors is better but because they don't dilute the icing as they tint. Ice cooled cookies, as desired.

Last but not least - eat!

Cut-Out Cookie recipe by Nigella Lawson, found on Food Network

  1. We make these same cookies every Sunday for the week ahead. So much fun, so much mess, but one very happy kid :)

  2. This recipe keeps hunting me down - I have it in Nigella's Feast book - where she flaunts her enviable cookie cutter collection.
    I really should be a good Mummy and make these with Miss C sometime

  3. I love cut out cookies...actually I just love cookied FULLSTOP.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, you just made me smile!

There and back again (with apologies to J.R.R.)

There I was, enjoying a fine fall evening on my front porch, enjoying a bit of the old pipe weed, when unexpectedly a quite bothersome spirit arrived to change my plans.

You see the Harvest Feast was arriving quite soon, and I was looking forward to plenty of lounging around and four days without labor. This spirit (we'll just call her Danielle) told me of an unexpected journey to search for treasure (or turkey) in a land far away. I laughed her off at first, sure that nothing would move me from my warm hobbit hole.

I brought up all the reasons I couldn't possibly make this journey, obligations, commitments, feeding schedules, but miraculously, all obstacles were overcome. The journey began on a Wednesday, as all magical journeys usually don't, and we took lodgings in a
Courtyard near our departure area for the next day. Though we thought we might've been LOST for a while, we found our way again by the next morning. Then, on the day of the feast itself, I found myself upon one of the majestic flying eagles and arrived in the land of Family Evermore!

It was an unexpected party, to say the least, and there ended up being 13 of them, (if you include the dog, cat, and bearded dragon), myself making lucky number 14. The feast was mighty, the food all around, and as soon as it was done, the cleaning was completed like magic, without me having to raise a hand.

her name was Chico...

But the journey was far from over. There were other family members to eat with and even more traveling to be done, but this time in a giant diesel truck (or, I don't know, Clydesdale? I'm kind of running out of allegory here), the likes of which would make even the thunder god quake.

We saw the ruins of many once grand castles, many damaged by a mighty dragon named Rita.

Four days into this fantastic tale, it was time to begin the journey home. We bundled up our newfound treasure (ok, ok, a new set of pots and pans, a bottle of wine, some lemons, and a tablecloth... a tablecloth of magic!!!! .... ok, ok, just a regular tablecloth) and began the treacherous journey home, once again aback a mighty eagle!

This eagle wasn't quite as punctual as the previous one and this tale of wonder ended in naught but woe.

Upon arriving much later than expected, and finding that [BART] wasn't still running, we had to make alternate transportation plans, as did 90% of the others there. We waited in the cold rain and wind, only to have our loot spill out upon the ground. (The bag broke) Half an hour later, it was finally our turn to get a cab which was luckily staffed by a very friendly driver. He made the cold and wet seem not quite as bad, and the costly ride (Oakland Airport to Lafayette) seem almost worth it.

Overall, the weekend was full of adventure, excitement, and, yes, I'll admit it, fun. I enjoyed being able to see all of my family, and was glad to get meeting hers out of the way.

But we've already decided, next year, we are staying at home!

For those of you non-scifi-fantasy fans, I'm sure you will be able to find a more understandable chain of events
here fairly soon (if not already).

Randomly enough, I did see the most misnamed place I've ever run across somewhere on my way through Houston. "The Hobbit Hole - Sports Bar"

I'm not sure about you, but most people I know who would know what a hobbit hole is, aren't the type to frequent sports bars.

"We hobbits are plain, quiet creatures. Adventures make one late for dinner." -Bilbo Baggins The Hobbit

Shelley the Snail

Remember back in English class during high school, when the teacher would give you fifteen minutes to write in your journal about anything you wanted? Well, today I chose to write about snails, and fast ones, I hope you enjoy!

There once was snail named Shelley. Now she didn't get along at all with any of the other snails, because she was very, very fast. Well, not fast when compared to a car, or a bullet train, or even a turtle, but fast for a snail.

All of the other snails would make fun of her because of her speed.

Her schoolmates would call her Speedy, and Zippy, in very mean ways.

Old man snails would come out on the front porch as she sailed by and yell out, "Slow down! You maniac!"

But Shelley couldn't help it, she was just a fast snail. She had always been a fast snail, she was even born early.

One day Shelley decided that she was tired of all the ridicule, so she packed up some clothes, and some food, and decided to set out upon the world.

Her first two days were very uneventful. She saw a nice pond one day, and decided to stop there for a bit and munch on some grass. But then a group of rough looking slugs showed up, and she decided it was time to be on her way.

During the middle of the second day, Shelley stopped off near a large wooden porch. Unbeknownst to her, this porch was the very beginning of a large house, which was owned by the same people who owned the property she lived on. (In fact, she had only actually traveled about 30 feet during her two day journey. )

She decided to rest for awhile in the shade, where there was a nice sized drop of water for her to sip on.

While lounging about she her a loud booming voice coming from the porch.

"James, those snails have gotten into my plants again, and this time I think they are going to kill them. We have got to do something about them."

"Martha," Jim said, "I am already on top of things, I ordered some snail killer, and it will be here early next week. So in five days time, all of your snail problems will be gone!"

Shelley was appalled! She was scared and frightened, and she cried for quite a good time.

But then she realized that she had to help out her old community, and using all the speed she possessed, she hauled shell back to her home.

What was a two day trip originally, only took her one day to complete.

She quickly raised the alarm to her community, telling them to hurry and pack their things, they had to move on, and quick.

Well, the oldsters didn't believe her, and just thought she wanted them to rush around like she always did. Her classmates refused to leave all of their toys and possessions, thinking Shelley was trying to get them out of town so she could play with them herself.

At first, even her family didn't believe her, but as she was always such a good girl, they finally relented and agreed to leave the village with her.

Four days, and 25 feet later (her family was not as quick as her) Shelley's family found a nice hollow at the base of a tree which they could call their new home.

It was about sunset that night when they heard the first screams from the their old village.

It seems that Farmer James had received his snail poison, and it was very painful.

As Shelley's former village writhed in pain and agony, the secretly regretted taunting Shelley for all of those years, and for not listening when they tried to warn her.

Shelley was a speedy snail

You'll never believe...

So yesterday, as I'm sitting at my hum-drum job, being bored beyond belief, while waiting on hold, my cell phone rings.

I recognize a local area code, so I go ahead an answer it, thinking its one of my friends, (hey, I have a few). But no, its Joelle calling me with some great news.

She quickly reminds me that there was an alternate transportation fair here about a month ago, and there was a bike giveaway that I entered.

Let me stop a moment here to tell you my recent experience with giveaways. A few months before that, I entered in to win a Hummer, and got a call to buy a timeshare instead. Then I decided to enter for a free trip to Hawaii, but was offered to buy a timeshare once again. Every now and then I will win a free lunch from putting my card in a fishbowl, but then I get a meeting with Financial Advisor who wants to make me money.

So, as she is relating to me that I entered this bike contest, I blurt out in disbelief, "I won a bike?". "Yes!" she says. I have indeed won a bike! She will be by with the invoice on Thursday, and I will go and pick up my bike. The thing is, I thought I was registering for the Segway that was sitting next to the drawing table.

wouldn't have known what to do with one, anyway

I'm really excited, I haven't gotten a new bike since I was about 10, and I've been thinking lately how nice it would be to have a bike to "zip" around town on. I'm not sure of the exact specifications of the bike, but from what I remember it was a pretty nice one. But if I don't like the one that Joelle picks out, I can always pay the difference for something better.

I wonder if I can teach my monkey to hump parrots...

Oh yeah, I also found out that I won a free seat cushion from my actual employer (the bike was from the company that gave the transpofair). Which isn't nearly as exciting as the bike!

I want to ride my bicycle bicycle bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike

I want to ride it where I like." -Queen

The Future is Now!

So today is the day that everything I've ever wanted in my life is going to happen! The world just seems a brighter, better place!

Everywhere I look, I am reminded. The smile on a young child's face, the birds, singing their songs, the cars whizzing by on the expressway.

Today is the day that all of my dreams come true!

"What is it Tim?" you anxiously ask!

"It is this!" I prophetically respond.

And as I show it to you, you all gape in wonder!

It's like Nirvana in a faucet!

If you are looking for something to buy for me for Christmas, search no longer! Your hunt ends here!

I would get up in the middle of the night to wash my hands, just so I can see how cool it is!

I envision the day where children will not be able to imagine what life would be like without illuminated faucets!

Unfortunately, like all things that would make your life better (cure for cancer for instance) the faucet light is currently on back order. Just when I thought I had it made...

The dogs! They're smart and crafty!

Of the many things I didn't do this weekend, one of the things I did was re-seed for sod a part of my backyard. I fenced it off from the three dogs, and diligently brought metal to soil and tilled a good part of the yard. I rended weed from soil in a hand- and back-achingly way, I painstakingly spread seed evenly over the lawn and proceeded to "roll" it all, and I agonizingly watered it all down. All in all, it wasn't really that bad, it only took about an hour or two, and I was pretty satisfied with a job well done!

My roommate has a couple of fence panels you can use to make a small pen for your dog, so I stretched them out to make a fence to keep the dogs from pooping and trooping through this part of the lawn. This is where the epic struggle begins.

It started Saturday night as I was sitting out enjoying a beer in the fenced off area and enjoying the dogs being fenced out. Without so much as a rattle of the fence, suddenly I find my dog roaming around near me, smelling things, pooping, the usual.

Now, everytime I turn around I'm either picking the fence back up, or dragging a lab, rotweiler or border collie out of there.

Now they have learned to work together though. Last night while I was putting the fence back up, after it was knocked over for the second time, Bandit was silently inside making quick work of the tray of fresh brownies on the counter.

Then, while I was getting Terra out of the fenced area, Digory and Bandit were sifting through the remains of the trash!

They are crafty, but I will prevail!

It may be an uphill battle, but as long as I put up the good fight, in the spring I will have a nice section of lawn thickly carpeted with Fescue!

Moon over my Hammy!

Not only is that my favorite meal at Denny's, its also the title for today's blog.

So apparently a large Klan (when its with a "k" you know which one I'm talking about) rally is going to happen this Saturday, Nov. 5th in Austin, Texas. They are having a pro-family rally encouraging voters to vote for a law limiting marriage to between a man and a woman... or something. And I encourage all of you in the area to go out to this rally...

...to moon the klan. That's right, apparently this is not he first time, and hopefully not the last, that a large group of Texan's bands together to show the clan their ass.

Full details are

So get your ass in front of a mirror, and learn to write legibly on it, and then get out there and show those racists what their acting like!

Hope you had a good Halloween!

Sure, the Senate has been a wasteland for eight months now, but for some Democrats it was worth sacrificing what little comity was left in the name of a bigger legacy builder for President Obama: taking the “nuclear option” on the filibuster so they could prevent Repubicans from jamming up appointments to the federal courts. And this week’s federal court decisions on Obamacare would seem to have validated that decision.

On Tuesday, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Appeals Court for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the Internal Revenue Service lacked the authority to allow the Affordable Care Act’s federal exchange to hand out subsidies. The same day, another three-judge panel on the Fourth Circuit Court of appeals in Richmond upheld that exact clause.

The Obama Administration is appealing the D.C. decision — which would effectively hobble the healthcare law’s subsidies—and that appeal will go before the D.C. Circuit’s full panel of 11 judges. The D.C. Circuit court is known as the second-most powerful court in the land as it often settles questions of policy given its location in the nation’s capital.

It is also the court Democrats blew the Senate up in order to stack, by stripping the minority of the ability to filibuster certain nominees—a move so toxic it became known as the nuclear option. Seven of the court’s judges were appointed by Democrats, so odds are good the court will reverse the three-judge panel’s decision and agree with the Fourth Circuit.

Such a move would prevent the case from ascending to the Supreme Court, where Republican nominees have a five-four edge, though there are similar cases pending in courts across the country, so the issue could still be decided by the Supreme Court.

But Obamacare defenders will be breathing easier knowing that the D.C. Court leans in their favor. So, maybe it was worth shredding what little bipartisanship that remained to the Democrats in Obama’s second term. The President’s greatest second term legacy may well prove to be stacking the federal courts—not just the DC Circuit but many others—for a generation. Will that be worth all the lost legislation, like reforming the VA, immigration reform, appropriations bills, and so on? Time will tell.

Tanzanian city gets new sewage scheme to curb disease, ocean pollution
September 11, 2017 | 5:28 PM

Dar es Salaam: For Andrew Kilula, the wastewater perpetually seeping from his toilet presents a daunting and costly challenge.

"When my children step in it, they get sick. I don’t always have the money to treat them," he said.

The father of six, who lives in the Kigogo area of Dar es Salaam, about 20 minutes by car from the centre of Tanzania's biggest city, has no choice other than to discharge the sludge from his toilet in the nearby Msimbazi River.

"I do it at night because it’s not allowed. If you get caught they can fine you heavily,” said the 41-year-old.

Most residents in this crowded neighbourhood lack access to sanitation services, such as cesspits emptied by private firms.

"It’s far too expensive to hire a cesspit tanker. They charge around 60,000 Tanzanian shillings (about $27) for one trip,” said Kilula, who cannot afford to empty his own cesspit.

"I honestly don’t like to pollute the river’s water, while I know people use it for growing vegetables,” said the carpenter.

However, he now has reason to hope he can stop, as authorities in the port city are working to build a sewage network that will pass through his neighbourhood.

It is part of a broader strategy to provide better sanitation services for residents, while sparing the Indian Ocean's aquatic life from wastewater pollution.

Ocean contamination is a problem in all Tanzania’s coastal cities, as growing populations and industrial activity have led to the dumping of effluents and chemical spills, said officials with the environment directorate in the Vice President's Office.

Under the $600-million Dar es Salaam sewage scheme, backed by the World Bank and other donors, wastewater treatment plants with the capacity to treat an average of 200,000 cubic metres of liquid waste a day will be installed in three city locations, the government announced at the end of August.

"We believe this project will help ease sewage disposal problems for the city residents,” said Remanus Mwang’ingo, acting CEO of the Dar es Salaam Water and Sewerage Authority (DAWASA).

The city will be able to handle sewage from 30 per cent of its residents by 2020, up from 10 per cent now, he added.

The seabed pipeline currently discharging raw sewage into the ocean emits a vile stench near the presidential state house, but this will be diverted to a treatment plant installed in the Jangwani wetland area, adjacent to the city centre and close to the Msimbazi River mouth, Mwang’ingo said.

A network of sewage pipelines linking different city suburbs will also be installed, the government said.

"This initiative must aim to prevent sewage from spilling over in the streets," said Agustina Mrindoko, a newspaper vendor on Azikiwe street. As one of Africa's fastest-growing cities, with 70 per cent of its 4.4 million residents living in informal settlements, Dar es Salaam is highly vulnerable to water-borne diseases.

Poorly built storm-water drains are frequently clogged by solid waste, meaning that heavy rainfall quickly leads to flooding and water contamination, local residents said.

In the centre of Dar es Salaam, the existing sewage network often becomes overwhelmed during the rainy season, forcing effluent to overflow and exposing residents to health risks.

"People contract cholera because they drink contaminated water," said Ali Mzige, a public health consultant with the AAM International Reproductive and Child Health Clinic.

"Any effort to handle wastewater from the toilet is commendable."

Mzige urged residents in crowded neighbourhoods to refrain from discharging raw sewage into drainage channels to avoid contracting the potentially fatal illness.

The new sewage treatment facilities should help prevent disease outbreaks, officials said.

The plants will also have the capacity to generate their own electric power using biogas generated from methane in human faeces.

DAWASA's Mwang’ingo said the rest of the solid waste will be turned into manure to fertilise city farms and gardens, while treated water from the sewage plants will be used for irrigation and cooling industrial machinery, among other purposes.

Tonight : Lecture at The Battery Club SF

Eyes Wide Shut : Looking forward to getting behind the gates of The Battery Club tonight at part of Photography Salon VII. I'll be talking about ECHOLILIA and HOME, with copies of HOME for sale.

Here's what they say :

The Photography Salon opens on Thursday, March 19, at 7 p.m. In the salon, successful commercial photographer Timothy Archibald will be showing deeply personal and profound portraits of his autistic son Eli. Collected in the book "Echolilia," the photos show the young boy exploring his environment and trying out sensory experiences that might take him out of his isolated state. Archibald also documents his son’s art and writing projects, which quietly speak to his desire to know and communicate.

Berkeley-based Mimi Plumb will present selections from her wide-ranging photographic oeuvre over several decades with a recurring theme of women and girls. Her documentation of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers in the 1970s is one of the most notable records of that important historic period. An avid horsewoman, she has also perfected the equine portrait, lending as much feeling and pathos to her animal subjects as her human ones.

Almost everyone living in San Francisco has a relationship to the iconic Mission District. Judy Walgren, who heads photography at the San Francisco Chronicle will provide the back story to the paper's stunning and provocative visual series documenting how the Mission District is changing during this boom time.

What's a Hero?

Heroes. We need a few, but what are they? Many people equate the hero with the protagonist, but many protagonists are poor excuses for heroes. On the other hand, some people will raise the hero to the level of a superhero. For our purposes, let’s define a hero as someone worthy of admiration, since that definition will encompass heros who are brave and heroes of other types as well. If our protagonist is worthy of admiration, then he is a hero or heroine. If not then he is an antihero or a villain. But let’s look at heroes.

We need to draw a distinction between a hero and a superhero. A superhero is a special case of the hero. The superhero is almost always a misunderstood person. Because of his special abilities, he must be of extremely high moral character. If he were not, he would use his powers for evil and become a villain. Everyone wants to be the superhero’s friend, but they are afraid of him. He is able to do things that they can’t, so they feel the need for some kind of protection from him. Usually, that protection comes in the form of distance. This causes the superhero to spend much of his life alone. He has a few personal friends and some of those may know who he really is, but he has to be careful and keep his identity secret. He usually isn’t in any direct danger, but if his enemies can discover who his friends are then they can make his life very difficult. So, it is best to keep his identity secret and to have a small number of close friends.

The typical hero is much more ordinary. Unlike the superhero who has some natural ability that gives him power, the hero has a natural inability that he must overcome. It is through overcoming this inability that he is able to show his bravery and his worthiness of admiration. In the end, he will save the day, but he must do it against the odds.

I love maps dearly. Give me a map of any kind and I'll be thoroughly entertained. I love looking at the map in the airplane magazine that shows the airline's routes. I love looking at globes. I got a large wall map of the world last year and regularly stand there looking at it. In Kazakhstan I had a nightmare situation in a travel agency and sat there for over three hours waiting for the "lady" to get there who could help me-- it didn't matter, because they had a world map on the wall. And because all the countries' names were written in Russian, I had the Russian alphabet down cold by the time the "lady" arrived. Crazy Kazakhs.

One time back in middle school, the teacher handed everyone a distorted map of the world. It was distorted because the size of all the countries was based on their population rather than their actual size. It was a thrilling moment for me. Since then, I have often thought back to that moment and that map. Where had it gone? What could have been if she and I had stayed together? Could she have been The One?

So the other day I said screw it and went online searching for her. I quickly discovered an entire wealth of these distorted maps, which I learned were called "cartograms."

Cartograms can measure any statistic-- not just population-- simply by distorting countries' sizes to represent their amount of the statistic being measured. Needless to say, this has been an exciting day for me-- and because it's Christmas, I'm going to share my findings with you.

Below are what I have deemed to be the most fascinating cartograms-- the first batch about the American political breakdown, and the rest about the world (to see larger versions of any of the world maps, drag them into an internet browser).

The American Political Breakdown: 2000 Presidential Election Results

This first map shows which states voted for which candidate in the 2000 Presidential elections. Looking at this, it seems that the country primarily votes Republican:

This is a cartogram of the United States. States' sizes on the map represent their populations (Montana and Wyoming are mad small). So now the political breakdown looks more even:

Breaking it down further, this map divides the country into each individual county, and shows how the county voted:

And the county cartogram. Notice how many people there are in LA, the San Francisco Bay area, and New York:

This takes it a step further and colors each county degrees of red and blue based on how strongly they voted in their direction. Ones that are entirely red, for example, voted about 90% for Bush or higher, while the purple ones were more mixed. Notice how Republican Utah is:

And the cartogram:

The World

This is a traditional map of the world as we usually see it. In a traditional map, nothing is really accurate at all. The Northern Hemisphere appears much larger than it actually is because the equator is typically placed lower than the middle of the page. And by stretching out the poles so that they're as wide as the equator, Northern countries and Antarctica appear far too large:

The below map, on the other hand, looks weird because the areas are all entirely accurate. Notice how much smaller Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Europe, and Russia look. And look how huge Africa is. Mad huge, that's how. South America is actually about the same size as North America, but it doesn't usually appear that way:

Below is a population cartogram (the original map that got me started on all this). Deliciously interesting. Countries' sizes represent their populations. India and China are ridiculous. And look how tiny Canada, Russia, and Australia are:

Another population cartogram, with countries' names written in (this is a good one to drag into a browser):

Now a bunch of other statistics shown by the cartogram. When you're confused about which countries are which, look back up to the Land Area map for help-- the colors stay consistent (I couldn't be having more fun right now, incidentally. I might as well be on a moonwalk full of slinkies and iPhones).

This one shows the prevalence of AIDS. Bad times in Africa:

Military spending:

Toy imports. White kids and their effing toys:

Toy exports. Well then. China's the ridiculous one, the large blob to the right of China is Taiwan, the lighter green broken up area is Hong Kong, and the only significant thing in the Western Hemisphere is Mexico:

Fish imports. Japanese people are obsessed with fish:

Internet users in the year 1990. Almost all US, with a bit of Western Europe, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and Australia:

Internet users in the year 2002. The rest of the world caught up. Except Africa. Poor Africa. The bulge at the bottom of Africa is South Africa, with all of its European transplants:

This one's sad-- Child Mortality of children ages 1-4. Notice large Pakistan above India and large Bangladesh in the East part of India.

Car imports:

Car exports. If it appears that the US is prominent, you're incorrect-- that's Canada and Mexico. The US is non-existent. These two cartograms show that NO one drives Fords, Chevys, or Dodges outside the US. Probably a good reason for that. On the other hand, Japan being so tiny in the above map and so large below shows that everyone loves Japanese cars, and that the Japanese don't drive anything else (and hence their non-existent imports). The two other prominent countries are Germany and South Korea. I have a Honda.

Medicine exports. Who knew?

War deaths in the year 2002. Someone really needs to help Africa. The large black country is the Democratic Republic of the Congo (on a completely unrelated note, The Democratic Republic of the Congo was not prominent on the "Tourism" cartogram). The large South American country is Venezuela. Afghanistan and Pakistan are predictably large. Other fun-filled participants include Russia, Burma, Bulgaria, the Philippines, and Indonesia:

This map shows every country in the world with the same area. Completely useless, but kind of cool:

Finally, this is a link to a video/map on the religions of the world. A ridiculously good time.

And that ends the exhibit. Merry Christmas. Extreme nerds should head to for more.

I'd also like to officially welcome back the old fashion white background (black backgrounds are so 2007).

Report on Council: November 15th and 27th, 2017

November 15 and 27, 2017
Committee of the Whole Meetings: November 15, 2017: 9:00 a.m. – 12:47 p.m.; and November 27, 2017: 9:00 a.m. – 3:47 p.m.
Regular Meetings of Council: Nov 15, 2017: 2:00 p.m. – 2:19 p.m.; and November 27, 2017: 6:08 p.m. – 6:18 p.m.
Mayor George Cornell, Deputy Mayor Steffen Walma and Councillors Cindy Hastings and Gibb Wishart present both days. Richard Hinton absent from noon on on the 15th and all day on the 27th.

Ridgeline hills located on Concession 8 West, Concession 15 West, and Concession 17 West will be closed throughout the winter
December 18, Regular Meeting of Council at 9 a.m. followed by Budget meeting (not the 11th as previously announced)
February 5, 2018, 9 a.m., 2018 Budget meeting, Council Chambers (replacing the previously announced January 22, 2018 meeting)

Mayor Cornell noted that the 2018 County budget tax increase is recommended to be 1.04%.

This entails the installation of 15 signs between the Penetanguishene town line and Kettles Beach as a pilot project to gauge the effectiveness of this approach prior to expanding the program to all identified routes. The anticipated cost is $1,500.00. The signage is to depict a car, bike and pedestrian indicating the shared road status.

On November 15, Council approved Tiny’s participation in SSEAs 2018 Tree Seedling Distribution Project. The deadline for orders is January 19. The species available (all native) are White and Red Pine, White Spruce, White Cedar, Balsam Fir, Silver Maple, White Birch and Nannyberry (a shrub). Contact Michelle Hudolin at 705-527-5166 ext. 202 to be added to then email distribution list and for information. There is information on SSEA’s website –

Jamie Robinson of MHBC Planning provided Council with a table detailing comments received in writing and orally up to November 15 regarding Draft 1 of the OP. Four main themes were —

  • Lack of Building Control Policies
  • Changing the “Environment First” objective to “Environment Focused”’
  • Secondary Suites in the Shoreline designation
  • Population Growth and Allocation/Settlement Area Boundaries

Of the first theme, Robinson observed that the OP is not used to establish “Building Control” as there are other mechanisms available to the Township for that purpose. MHBC recommended no changes.

Regarding “Environment Focused”, MHBC again recommended no changes to the next draft, arguing that provincial and county initiatives already provide significant environmental protection.

On the other hand, MHBC agreed that secondary suites, which are meant to provide affordable housing, would probably be used for short term rentals in the shoreline area. Secondary suites will be removed for the Shoreline in the next draft, while still being permitted in rural and settlement areas.

Allocation of population growth to settlement areas (a provincial requirement) has to be delayed until the County of Simcoe completes a study of population allocation several years hence (also a provincial requirement). (Tiny is unlikely to be allocated any settlement growth or boundary expansion.) In the meantime, MHBC recommends that the County’s greenland expansion in Tiny’s shoreline area not be implemented to allow for population growth in the shoreline. Robinson speculated that greenland expansion might be exchanged for settlement growth.

MHBC anticipates having the next draft ready by the end of January and a second Open House at the end of February or in March. (Open Houses are to be held both in Tiny and, to accommodate seasonal residents, in the GTA.)  The official Public Meeting will occur two months later.

A report submitted by Steven Harvey, Tiny’s Chief Municipal Law Enforcement Officer, noted that a number of minor adjustments to the previous year’s Pilot Parking Program were effective. Improved signage, for example, resulted in many fewer parking infractions. The 150 permits available to residents of neighbouring municipalities were sold out by June 21, but only a modest number of requests (15 or so) were made after that date.

Trew Avenue and the Bluewater Dunes subdivision were interrelated trouble spots that spurred much feedback and comment. Special Occasion Parking and parking for clubs that have regularly scheduled meetings also require adjustments.

Council decided to devote the morning of January 8 to issues connected with the parking Program.

Planning A Diet Plan? Read These Tips On Nutrition

Known most commonly as nourishment, nutrition is something we all need in order to survive. However, the proper balance of nutrition does more than keep you alive; it helps you to thrive as a fit, healthy person. If you want some great nutrition tips to get healthy, then you need to read this article.

Consuming enough Vitamin D is an important part of a healthy, nutritious diet. Vitamin D is a major player in blood clotting. It also helps in bone synthesis. You can find Vitamin D in cabbage, beef liver, and green leafy vegetables. It's also found in smaller amounts in milk, cereals, meats, and eggs.

Don't rely so much on artificial sweeteners to satiate your sweet tooth. Also try to cut back on actual sugar, honey, corn syrup and molasses. Try to opt for naturally sweet foods like fruits such as strawberries, cherries, peaches, etc. A fruit salad or trifle is also a great dessert that is very sweet.

When considering your child's nutrition, it is important to keep them involved throughout the whole process. This will excite the child because of the sense of importance they will feel. Bring them to the store with you and have them help you pick out foods that they like and that are healthy. Be sure to not give into purchasing everything that the child desires. When back home, have them help you with the meal preparation.

For a healthier diet substitute olive oil for butter. click the up coming article contains high amounts of saturated fats which is associated with high cholesterol and heart disease. Olive oil is much healthier. You can drizzle olive oil, instead of butter, over vegetables. You can also dip your bread, or fry your eggs in olive oil instead of butter.

Senior citizens looking to be as heart-healthy as possible can enjoy a Mediterranean diet. This way of eating includes healthy fats such as those found in olive oil; it also includes plenty of vegetables, seafood, beans, high-fiber grains, and fruits. Studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet, because of the healthier fats it contains, lowers the risk of heart disease.

If you are trying to cut down on the amount of soda that you consume and think water is too plain, try flavored water. This tasty alternative comes with the same amount of water that you require, and does not have the high sugar and calorie content as soda.

Beware of salads on the restaurant menu that are supposed to be "healthy". A salad is usually healthy and nutritious. However, the salad might not have been made in a healthy way. For example, a cobb salad might be topped with processed meats that are high in fat and salt. In addition, it might be drenched in a high-fat dressing. So, keep that in mind when you order restaurant salads. do away with all of your unhealthy pleasures. If you must have an unhealthy item, only have one a day. You can also try using smaller sizes of your sweets, such as a fun sized candy bar or a small cookie. If you would rather not have an unhealthy item one time a day, limit yourself to once a week if you make your weight loss goal. This can be a great motivator.

Watching you sugar intake is a great way to stay healthy. When we want to reduce our daily sugar intake, we automatically think to cut back on sodas and other carbonated beverages. However, what we really need to watch out for are fruit juices. However, some of these juices can have as much or more sugar than soda, and little nutritional value otherwise. Always take some time to understand exactly what you're putting into your body.

In order to ensure your child's nutritional needs are met, respect the appetite they have or don't have. If your child isn't hungry, forcing food on them will only teach them to ignore their natural hunger signals. Serve them small portions of good foods, and they will most likely eat enough on their own to meet their needs.

Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juice. Fruit juice can contain added sugars while the sugars in fresh fruits are entirely natural. Some fruit juices on the market contain even more sugar than soda. Besides being naturally sweet, fruit also provides useful nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These can reduce the risk of serious illnesses like heart disease.

It is not all about counting points or counting calories. It is all about controlling your insulin levels and eating food that is good for you. If you follow a diet of nutrient-dense food, you are sure to have much more success in maintaining a healthy weight.

As stated at the start, nutrition is simply nourishment and having the proper nourishment is what allows you to always feel your best. It's not something that's going to happen overnight, but if you want to balance your nutrition, the tips in the above article will definitely help you do just that.

Unit Test Object Properties

Unit testing of entities is something that never gets done very well for a number of reasons, the objects are pretty simplistic, developers get board righting that type of code, etc. It seems that one area unit tests of this type of business object fails is in testing their properties. The test covers setting and retrieving the properties but what about Business Objects with CRUD behavior? What about testing Data Access layer save functionality. Just because the save method does not error on you does not mean the save works. To really have a good unit test you need to save the object and then get the object again and compare all the properties to make sure each property was saved as expected.

To test each property I often see developers writing code that does a one to one compare on the two objects (the object they tried to save and the object that was saved). This gets boring really quickly and can explain why a lot of the time you do not see full code coverage. To help make this easier I recently wrote  a simple piece of code to handle all this property comparison. With the code below you can simply pass it two objects of the same type and it will do a property compare on each object to make sure each matching property has the same value.

public void CompareObjectProperties(Object newOjbect, Object dbObject)
    PropertyInfo[] propInfo = newOjbect.GetType().GetProperties();

    foreach (PropertyInfo prop in propInfo)
        PropertyInfo dbPropinfo = dbObject.GetType().GetProperty(prop.Name);
        string newProp = prop.GetValue(newOjbect, null).ToString();
        string dbProp = dbPropinfo.GetValue(dbObject, null).ToString();

        // Make sure each value was saved to the database correctly
        Assert.AreEqual(newProp, dbProp, "The value on the object did not match the value saved to the second object");

A man has revealed that his drunken ex-roommate brutally attacked him.

According to police reports, Sonny Dolquist says that after his drunken ex-roommate came over to pick up her stuff, she attacked him and squeezed his testicles to the point they were bleeding.

33-year-old Jennifer Singletary reportedly arrived as Dolquist's to pick her stuff only to find out that he had already put them out on the porch for her

Things took a turn for the worse when Singletary allegedly forced her way inside, started throwing things and punched Dolquist in the head. During the scuffle, Singletary put Dolquist's testicles in a vice-like grip before Dolquist was able to throw her out of the house.

Singletary was arrested and put in jail.

  1. Took interest in your comment/article on with regard to Pennsylvania’s aggressive treatment of unreimbursed business expenses and the 100% audit trigger. Question- have you seen any evidence that taking the deduction (and the subsequent audit) triggers the DOR to “look back” at prior returns and audit those as well?

    1. Hi Ed: No, I haven’t seen that look back to prior years.
      But it seems that the state’s effort was pretty effective. The preparers I chat with are scared to take the deduction now.

#AmReading - Senior Snoops by Madison Johns @madisonjohns11

Senior Snoops by Madison Johns

True to his words, Sheriff Clem Peterson sends Agnes Barton and Eleanor Mason packing to Florida via a Cessna, but things go haywire when during a fuel stop, two men shoot the pilot. Agnes springs into action slamming the door just as shots are fired while Frank Alton jumps into the cockpit flying them out of there.
When they land in Florida, they’re asked tough questions by Putner and Palmer from Homeland Security. They keep asking if they found a packet on board the plane, a packet that Agnes has tucked in her purse, but they never mention what’s in the packet. She decides to hold onto it; after all it contains twenty-five thousand in cash.
Sheriff Calvin Peterson, Sheriff Clem Peterson’s brother, picks them up from the airport in Florida, but tells them the bad news. His brother Clem made arrangements for them to stay at Sunny Brooke Retirement Village and work as the hired help to pay for their room and board. They go unwillingly, but discover in town that two maids have disappeared at Sunny Brooke.

Just to hang out

Like so many others, I have a facebook account. No shock there, hmm? Also, I play games on it! No shock there either, I guess! The facebook games are small and fun, but most of the time I find that I play them for the same reason I play a hand of cards or participate in the yearly winter games at the department (last day before christmas). I play because I want to connect with the people I play with.

And so I send and receive flowers, I read and do quizzes, I buy and sell friends, I bite and get bitten, and I have a little dragon that occasionally tries to help her friends. Poor little thing, robbed of all gold and dignity, but she still tries!

It's quite amusing, really. This is perhaps the oldest use of games in existance - playing in order to enjoy connecting with others - and it is still a revelation to discover that we do it in yet another medium.

Yep "hanging out" in games is something that is always more evident and the explosion of SNs is making it so clear. There's an interesting connection with the "hanging out" practice that Bittanti and Ito point out in the recent digital youth report. I wish I had more time and opportunity to work more on this... but you know.. :-)

The Creation of TABIA
The Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas (TABIA) was formed to coordinate the efforts of the city's growing number of BIAs.

The concept of Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) originated in 1970. A group of business people in the Bloor-Jane area of west Toronto were concerned about the erosion of their marketplace caused by the growing popularity of shopping malls, plus an extended subway system, both of which were drawing shoppers away from their traditional shopping areas.

Under the Provincial legislation (Section 217 of the Municipal act, RSO 1980, suspended by section 220, RSO 1990) the originators created a self-help program. The legislation empowered the BIA members to use their own money to promote their BIA and to make physical improvements to their area in order to attract more customers. This not only benefited the local businesses, but also the entire neighbourhood.

The success of the first BIA, Bloor West Village, ensured that other retail districts followed this model and became BIAs themselves; for example, Bloor-Yorkville BIA and Kingsway BIA ...etc. Today, there are 82 BIAs in the City of Toronto, and over 300 in the Province of Ontario. The BIA concept is emulated throughout Canada, the United States and other countries.

As the number of BIAs in Toronto continued to grow, it became apparent that a formalized organization was required to provide an ongoing means of collecting and exchanging essential information and, importantly, addressing issues and concerns.

In 1980, a constitution was drawn up and a formal association was established, namely, the Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas (TABIA).

TABIA has developed into a well-respected organization, recognized by all levels of government and the commercial sector. TABIA's involvement goes well beyond the promotion of BIAs. TABIA has been called upon to work together with Provincial and City Government on legislation pertaining to small businesses.

The various levels of government recognize that BIAs are the main life-line of the communities. Since the inception of BIAs, the City of Toronto has been supportive, and has championed the BIA movement. A special BIA office was established at City Hall, to administer, assist and support the efforts of the City's BIAs and TABIA.

Altered States.

Caesarstone announces its collaboration with New York-based collaborative practice Snarkitecture for their 2018 Designer Program. The 2018 collaboration will focus on the icon of the modern home, the kitchen island.

This year’s collaboration will present a realistic and practical interpretation of Caesarstone, one that looks at the functionality of the kitchen, while drawing from Snarkitecture’s signature blend of architecture and art. The first instalment of the collaboration will be previewed in January 2018 at the Interior Design Show (IDS), Toronto, followed by a main large-scale installation during Milan Design Week in April as part of Fuorisalone.

Snarkitecture is a New York-based collaborative practice established to investigate the boundaries between art and architecture. The name is drawn from Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark, a poem describing the “impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature.” In its search for the unknown, Snarkitecture creates architectural-scale projects, installations and objects. Snarkitecture’s work focuses on the reinterpretation of everyday materials, structures and programs to new and imaginative effect. With a conceptual approach centred on the importance of experience, the studio creates unexpected and memorable moments that invite people to explore and engage with their surroundings. By transforming the familiar into the extraordinary, Snarkitecture makes architecture perform the unexpected.

Trying out Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins today....we'll see how it goes!

Sunday, January 17, 2010

Vegetarian Pancit

So my husband is from the Philippines. When I was a meat eater I really enjoyed the flavors of Filipino food. It's very savory and rich in home cooked love. My favorite dish is Adobo...I'm still working on how to make that a veggie dish. I might just try it with a fish and see how that goes.

So the idea popped in my head to make Pancit which is a famous rice noodle dish. Usually would would put chicken in it but I subbed it for Tofu!

I got the recipe here.

1 (12 ounce) package dried rice noodles
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced cooked chicken breast meat
1 small head cabbage, thinly sliced
4 carrot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 lemons - cut into wedges, for garnish
1 half block of Tofu diced

Place the rice noodles in a large bowl, and cover with warm water. When soft, drain, and set aside.
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in chicken cabbage, carrots and soy sauce. Cook until cabbage begins to soften. Toss in noodles, and cook until heated through, stirring constantly. Transfer pancit to a serving dish and garnish with quartered lemons. Don't forget to squeeze your lemons on your Pancit to create that sour flavor!

Works so well and if you pair it with rice it's pretty much the best thing every! (Haha!)

It tastes just like chicken Pancit and I imagine someone could be fooled with the flavors if they didn't know any better.

Creole Kidney Beans and Rice

I was on a mission looking for Kidney Bean soup. So I got to my local exchange and look for kidney beans. I find them and there so happens to be a cool recipe on the back of the can of beans. I'm a big time can food eater. I try to keep it to minimum with salt by washing the veggies after I open the can to take away some of the salt and I try to buy low sodium and no salt added when I can. Anyways this one is a keeper that's for sure!

The only thing I took out was the cayenne pepper because I don't like spicy foods but the flavors that remain still make it like mom used to make. Creole and savory! My mom is actually from Louisiana so I grew up with gumbos and Creole food so I had to try this one to see if I could create the same flavors. Think it could use a little tweeking but over it was great

2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 large onion chopped
2 stocks of celery chopped
1/2 green pepper chopped
3 garlic cloves chopped
1/2 teaspoon of thyme
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and several dashing of hot pepper sauce
1 1/2 cup of vegetable broth
3/4 cup cooked rice
1 can of kidney beans
1 bay leaf

I cooked my rice before hand because I prefer the taste of freshly steamed rice rather than pan cooked rice.

Heat up the oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, celery, garlic, and pepper. Saute for about two minutes then add the remaining ingredients. Don't forget the kidney beans. (My dish was almost complete and I notice the most important ingredient was missing!) Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until the most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Serve over rice.

Asparagus and Cashews

Wow it's been a little bit since I posted something here huh?

Well this time I went with a tried and true recipe Asparagus and Cashews.

It can be a little bit salty if you add too much soy sauce and the cashews can add more salt if you buy the pre-salted kind. I used them for this recipe because I couldn't find the ones with out salt at Safeway. Overall if I've got nothing in my pantry this what I always run to because I've always got rice, soy sauce and sesame oil. I guess it's got something to do with the asian cooking I do so much in my home.

So you need:

4 cups of cooked rice

For the sauce you need:

2 Tablespoons of cold water
2 Tablespoons of corn starch (Any kind will do)
1 1/2 cup of vegetable stock or water
3 Tablespoons of soy-sauce (The low sodium works the best but you can use regular)
1 teaspoon of minced ginger or ground ginger.
1 teaspoon of sesame oil. You can use the dark which makes it nutter if you can't find the light one.
Dash of pepper to taste.

For content

2 Tablespoons of canola oil
3 cups of asparagus or one can
4 medium scallions but onions work just as well
1 small can of mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon of mince garlic
1 cup raw cashews

Cook the rice while your getting everything together.

Stir in the water and cornstarch in a bowl until smooth. Then add the remaining items and set aside.

Heat up the oil in a nonstick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add asparagus, scallions, mushrooms and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes stirring constantly.

Then reduce the heat to medium and stir in the sauce. Cook for about a minute or until it begins to bubble and thicken. Fold in the cashews for another minute.

Then serve over white rice.

I got this recipe from The 15 Minute Vegetarian by Paullete Mitchell.
The recipe calls for red pepper flakes and red bell peppers. I don't like spice so I omitted it and I didn't have any red bell peppers so I used the mushrooms instead it still makes a great dish no matter what you put in it.

Miso/Soy Marinated Tilapia w/ Asian Inspire Asparagus and Rice.

No picture this time. But I tried this recipe last night. It was really good. I changed the Honey to Miso and doubled everything since we had guests over that I was cooking for as well. It came out really great and flavorful. I think because I let it marinade for longer than 20 minutes like they say. I was on three hours or so before I started cooking it.

So you have

4 Tilapia Filets
6 T Miso Paste
6 T Soy Sauce
6 T Balsamic Vinegar
2 Clove Garlic minced

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix last four ingredients in a shallow dish. Add fish filets, and let marinade in fridge for at least 20 min (I marinaded mine for 3 hours). Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

I paired it with an Asian Inspired Asparagus. Of course I changed the recipe.

I added a lot more soy sauce than the recipe asked for and added rice to put under the whole thing that the end. It was a really good dinner over all and I think I will try it again.

No cooking tonight going to have a date night with the hubby. For the future I think I'm going to make Mushu Gai-Pan. It's not Japanese but it sounds really good and Pancit when I finally get a chance! :)

1998 Wide Glide | Motorcycles

Joseph Townsend’s newest buy. He thought about chopping it, but thinks it is too beautiful the way it is. 1998 wide glide with 28,800 miles.
1998 Wide Glide Motorcycle

  1. Jim October 4, 2015 at 1:53 pm -

    Looks like a soft tail, a wide glide has exposed shocks. It’s a nice soft tail, if you like that kind of bike. . ???

  2. Michael Grotelueschen September 6, 2015 at 10:44 am -

    Pretty sure it’s a Softail Custom. They had the same wide forks as the wide glide.

  3. Alaric August 6, 2015 at 4:13 am -

    Beautiful bike, and I’d love to know what it really is. However, it isn’t a wide glide.

    Wide glides are Dynas, the bike in the picture is a Softail. No rear shock means it is not a dyna.

Bring Your Daughter to Work Day at American Structurepoint!

On Friday, June 19, American Structurepoint hosted its very own “Bring Your Daughter to Work Day” for young women interested in engineering, architecture, IT, and more.  Twelve young women were able to attend a half-day session of learning, hands on experience, and much much more! Rick started off the morning with a motivation discussion. We learned afterwards, that some of the girls went home and spoke about the event at dinner with their families. Their parents responded by saying if they had to choose a company within the A/E industry, American Structurepoint would be their first choice due to these type of opportunities for their kids. We look forward to continuing this event in the future and planting a seed for the next generation of engineers and architects!

A huge thank you to Karen Saavedra and Amanda Johnson for initiating and coordinating this entire event! And thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make the day possible and teach the girls about your careers!

Nairo Quintana wins stage, runner-up spot, mountains competition and white jersey

What an excellent finish to the general classification. The final climb of the 2013 Tour saw the peloton whittled down to pretty much the top 10 riders and this then became the eventual podium – Chris Froome, Nairo Quintana and the better-late-than-never Joaquim Rodriguez. It was almost as if the top three riders were leading a parade – an impression that was only enhanced by the fact that they were weaving their way through gangs of pissed-up idiots.

The stage win

Nairo Quintana finally got the win he’s deserved all along and also landed himself the mountains classification in the process. He will be the runner-up in this year’s Tour and obviously secures the white jersey for best young rider as well. Not a bad debut. The anti-Voeckler was even moved to a visible facial display of emotion. I’ve already said he’ll win the Tour one day. I think a lot more people are confident of that now.

Third overall

Joaquim Rodriguez gained enough time to shunt Roman Kreuziger and Alberto Contador further down the general classification. Saxobank’s invasion of the podium was followed by a tactical withdrawal.

Contador’s pissed off. He’s not going to defend his Vuelta title now, because he wants to prepare for next year’s Tour. Let’s not go into the whys and wherefores, but he’s returned from his ban a lesser rider.

Oh, by the way

Chris Froome won the Tour de France. I promise I’ll return to this in due course.

Stage 21

The whole point of this stage is that it should be a sprint finish. Here’s the profile.

Up and down the Champs Élysées on the final stage of the Tour, it’s the most prestigious sprint win of them all and Mark Cavendish has won the last four. However, he’s looked more fallible this year. Will the sunset finish herald the sunset of the greatest ever run of

Evil talks about tolerance only when it’s weak. When it gains the upper hand, its vanity always requires the destruction of the good and the innocent, because the example of good and innocent lives is an ongoing witness against it. So it always has been. So it always will be. And America has no special immunity to becoming an enemy of its own founding beliefs about human freedom, human dignity, the limited power of the state, and the sovereignty of God. – Archbishop Chaput

Gold FINALLY has taken out that pesky overhead resistance at $1300 during early Asian trade. Volume thus far is average but the fact is that the bulls were able to overcome the selling that has consistently shown up on recent approaches towards that key level.

If the market can stay above $1300 as it heads into European trading, but especially New York trading, then we should get some further short covering and actually begin to see some fresh money begin flowing back into the metal. That will be the big test for gold.

Lots of ifs and buts, but if the HUI can close that chart gap and push past 245 then we will have the both cylinders firing at the same time.

One thing I am also noticing is that the price of crude oil is remaining stubbornly high. While food prices are moving lower across the futures markets, the energy sector refuses to break down. If anything, it is escalating higher. It is difficult to see how crude prices could stay this strong given the anemic nature of the economy but other supply-side factors are at work in that market which are keeping a firm bid in it thus far.

A higher crude oil price can be ignored as an inflation factor if players see it as more of a short-term, news driven feature rather than more lasting set of changes in the fundamentals. If the thinking begins to shift and traders see the higher crude oil price as something that is going to stick around longer than initially expected, some might start anticipating a cost push factor from higher energy inputs.

If that becomes the case, we should see some impact on the bond market. As of now, bonds are up even in the face of the higher crude with the thinking being that it will act as more of drag/tax on the economy rather than heating up any inflation push.
