CC Sabathia IS Spider-Man

So the Yankees, bidding against themselves and a non existent West Coast offer, and CC who wanted no part of New York said "OK, I'll take $160 million... but if I want I can change my mind in 3 years."

Christ for $160 million I can find happiness living in a mouth of an active volcano.
But nobody has offered me $160 million (yet.)

Well there you have it... Sabathia's contract is the biggest ever for a pitcher.
And like Spider-Man, with great big contracts comes great responsibilty.

CC was awesome last year... but the standards are a little different now and you know HE knows it.

Last year he was in Milwaukee where the Wild Card was something to celebrate for the first time in 25 seasons.

Before that he was in Cleveland where winning is so outlandish the Indians didn't even win the World Series in the Major League movies.

Left fielder practicing voodoo?

Indians winning the World Series?
WHOAH! We can only suspend disbelief so much!

Now he is going to the Yankees...

Sabathia lead the Brewers almost single handedly to the playoffs and got clobbered by the Phillies.

How would that go over in Yankee land?

Ask A-Rod who carried the Yankees in 2007 to the post season and when he opted out most Yankee fans were saying GOOD! He sucks!

That's a lot of pressure.

Even more pressure than his knees will have every time he takes a step. (Seriously, when he runs to the mound I almost expect him to yell "HEY HEY HEY!")

New York can do strange things to great players and big personalities. Hell I remember Bobby Bonilla being hailed as a great signing for a New York team.

I remember Bret Saberhagen being called a monumentous trade.

Same with Frankie Viola.

Same with Randy Johnson.

(I'm going out on a limb saying Saberhagen, Viola and Johnson all had more impressive October resumes... what with their World Series MVPs and all)

But the difference between playing in Milwaukee, Kansas City, Minnesota, Seattle and Phoenix is pretty big.

Maybe you need to be such a calm SOB that it doesn't matter (like Jimmy Key or Mike Mussina)

Such a hot dog that you soak it all in (like Reggie Jackson or Paul O'Neill or David Wells)

or possibly the biggest and coolest badass of the last decade who laughed at opposing pitchers like the sharks under his raft (El Duque Hernandez.)

And actually it's interesting to think of El Duque.
He really had only one regular season of note.

But he is a beloved Yankee

Well two reasons:

1) He was mysterious and cool

2) He won in October.

Nothing else matters.

Randy Johnson won 17 games each of his seasons in the Bronx. The back page when he left was "Good Riddance."

Dave Winfield put up MVP numbers year in and year out in the 1980s. But he was "Mr May"

Meanwhile Aaron Boone didn't even START game 7 of the 2003 ALCS (he came in as a pinch runner) and will get a standing ovation at Yankee Stadium that A-Rod could only dream of.

Sabathia is a terrific pitcher.
One of the best in the game.

As a Red Sox fan I would drool to have him in my rotation.
It's a great signing for the Yankees.

For his sake I hope he realizes... only one month matters.
That's his responsibility.

And I for one wouldn't want to see Sabathia in a Spider-Man costume

Our first trip to the snow with the boys - 2/11/09

Branden took the day off of work today and we took the boys to Wrightwood to go sledding and play in the snow. It was a GREAT day! We had so much fun. The weather was beautiful and we found the perfect place to play, make a very small snow man and do lots of sledding. We can not wait to go back!! Here's some pictures and video of our special day.

In Addition to Home Aesthetics, Shutters Add Safety

closed shuttersNo one likes the idea of being a victim. And despite the fact a great majority of crimes can be easily prevented by the victim taking the proper precautions, hundreds of thousands are victimized each and every year. Being proactive and showing initiative when it comes to protecting you and your family is the best ways you can ever falling victim to a criminal.

There are an alarming number of peeping-tom arrests every year. There are also a staggering number of burglaries in our country on an annual basis. Amazingly, 30% of entries through such openings as a window were gained without using any force whatsoever. And 28% of the time a home is burglarized, a resident is home. And 25% of the time a member of the household is home, the burglary becomes violent.

Shutters and blinds can protect you, your family and your home from such offenses as these. Obviously obscuring the view of any potential peeping-tom offenders is as easy as twisting your shutters closed. Obviously this won’t prevent the offender from wandering into some else’s yard to try and catch an eye full, but it will protect you and yours.

So if you ever have that feeling you’re being watched, simply walk over to your shutters and close them. And if you don’t have a set, it may be time to consider investing in one. Shutters can similarly deter burglary, one of the most common types of crimes across the US.

Burglars and home invaders prefer to stakeout potential victims’ homes before following through with any attempt on breaking and entering. Being able to see into the prospective home lets the perpetrators confirm any potential issues which might await them. This includes such liabilities to their operations as a dog, the residents’ schedules and whether or not there’s anything worth stealing. If you eliminate the ability to see inside, it disrupts their modus operandi and 9 out of 10 will move onto a different house.

How to Clean Wood Shutters

The right wood shutters can completely transform a room, especially if you choose an elegant style that goes well with your furniture and other aspects of the room. However, wood shutters can become dirty just like any other type of blinds, but the good news is that they are easy to clean. If you have… Continue Reading

Shutters; Inside vs Outside, Part I

Advantages of Horizontal Plantation Shutters

I started the 22-day challenge, complements of Dr. Rex Harawa, a person I respect and admire.
Today I nominate Arnold Kaswa. Arnold is a magnanimous and benevolent man. Naturally good hearted. A good Christian with a lovely family. He is always taking part on marathons but instead of just doing it for fun or to win, he raises funds for charity. And before each marathon he runs a practice marathon to keep healthy. He gave me a tip about a 30 minute jog. I intend to embark on this journey also although the marathon is way too high a bar for moi. And he has inspired me that maybe I am not to heavy to start swimming lessons!
The rules are simple:
Once you are nominated, your 22 days start.
Every day you record yourself doing 22 pushups. Try your best to reach 22. If it means doing assisted push ups on your knees,or stop to take a break, that's cool, but make sure to get them all done in one video, all 22 push ups.
Every day you must nominate a different person. Try to choose people you think will want to do this. We got this!

Phi Delta Theta

Indiana Beta - Wabash College

Our Iron Phi Story

Iron Phi

Wabash and DePauw Phis will run the ceremonial Monon Bell Classic game ball from Crawfordsville to Greencastle.
Wabash and DePauw Phis will run the ceremonial Monon Bell Classic game ball from Crawfordsville to Greencastle.

Indiana Beta - Wabash College

Welcome to Indiana Beta's Iron Phi team page.

We Phi Delts have a special saying within our organization, "We enjoy life by the help and society of others."  This is, in fact, is our open motto and explains our Chapter's desire to help others through the Iron Phi initiative.

The mission of Iron Phi is to strengthen the Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity and the impact it has on the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease through the fundraising and athletic efforts of its members.

Members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity chapters at Wabash College and DePauw University will be running the ceremonial game football for the 120th Monon Bell Classic from Crawfordsville, Ind. to Greencastle, Ind on Friday, November 15, 2013. The event aims to raise awareness and funds for the international fraternity’s charity, the ALS Association.

The Wabash Phi Delts will begin the relay at 10 a.m. (EST) on the steps of the Pioneer Chapel in the heart of the Wabash College campus. They’ll run past their chapter, Indiana Beta, and follow the route of the old Monon Railroad both for symbolic and safety purposes. The route will run south and east from Crawfordsville, through the towns of Lodoga, Roachdale and Bainbridge, to Greencastle: all former stops on the Monon Railroad. This 37-mile route will keep those relaying the ball on secondary state and county roads and away from busy highways.

At about noon, the Wabash Phi Delts will arrive in Roachdale. At the northeast corner of the intersection of Indiana St. and Highway 236, Wabash chapter president, senior Drew Songer, will formally present the game ball to DePauw chapter president, junior Jake Rust.

From there, the DePauw Phi Delts will relay the ball all the way to Greencastle.

Prior to the 120th Monon Bell Classic football game on Saturday, November 16, 2014, representatives from both chapters will present the commemorative game ball onto the field.

You can follow the relay on Twitter at #MononBellRelay, #ALS and #IronPhi.

Both Phi Delts chapters hope to raise upward of $5,000. Thanks to the generosity of two alumni donors (one each from Wabash and DePauw), $2,000 has been donated toward this effort.

You can contribute online to the fight against ALS at either the Wabash Iron Phi or DePauw Iron Phi websites. Iron Phi is the official fundraising program for Phi Delta Theta with 100% of the proceeds donated to the ALS Association.

To raise additional funds, the commemorative game ball will be raffled off at the annual Monon Bell Stag on Wednesday, November 13, 2013. The winner of the raffle will be given the ball after the Monon Bell game.

We thank you for your support, and we appreciate your generosity in helping us achieve our goals.

How Does My Donation Make a Difference?

Your donation towards an Iron Phi athlete equally supports two very important things: ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) research and leadership development for undergraduate members of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.

At the end of each year calendar year, Iron Phi grants dollars to fund ALS research projects identified by The ALS Association. It is our hope that the ALS researchers who receive our grant dollars execute projects that ultimately advance the search for a cure.

Dollars used for undergraduate leadership development have and continue to help Phi Delta Theta educate more of its undergraduate members as they work to “Become the Greatest Version of Themselves.”

The one-way tickets require a 14-day advance purchase, and certain blackout dates do apply, so read the fine print before booking.

Finding cheap flights is one of the ways of cutting the costs, something most travelers are keen on doing to ensure that they stay within their set limits.

I recommend IndianEagle to frequent travelers like me for flights to India. It could be obtained either from Kenya High Commission in London or at the airport before the flight to Nairobi. Be familiar with the appropriate time to go to your destination. Work-Around: A few airlines don't gouge you this badly.

This can definitely affect the prices of the air ticket to significantly cheaper in similar flight for only a day before.

This does not however mean that the flights are not available as early booking can get you very good rates.

Veal with Soft Polenta

Another female cook who I love to make recipes from is Donna Hay. Most of her recipes are really simple and have such great flavour, which is how I like to cook.

This recipe is from her book Fast, Fresh and Simple. I like it how most of her recipes are for 2 people as well, which works great for us.

I never really cook with polenta and couldn’t find it in Coles when I went shopping, so I went to IGA and they had one sort. This one asks for instant polenta, but the polenta I got didn’t say instant on it anywhere, so I am not sure if I was using the right one.

The polenta turned out well at the beginning, but then half way through the meal it went quite solid. Is this meant to happen?? It still tasted good and the Veal was really nice. I don’t eat sage that often, but I really love the flavour, so I might have to use it a bit more.

Veal with Soft Polenta – From Donna Hay’s Fast Fresh Simple
Serves 2

4 x 90g Veal Steaks
Salt and cracked pepper
20g butter
4 Slices of Prosciutto (I didn’t use this)
6 – 8 Sprigs of sage
Lemon wedges to serve
Soft Polenta
1 cup (250ml) milk
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
½ cup (85g) instant polenta
½ cup (40g) grated parmesan
2 Tablespoons Marscapone (I didn’t use this either)

To make the soft polenta, put the milk and stock in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk in the polenta and whisk until smooth. Stir in the parmesan and then season , cover and set aside.

Put a fry pan on the high heat. Sprinkle the veal with salt and pepper and then put the veal, butter, sage and prosciutto in the pan and cook for 2 minutes each side, or until the veal is cooked to your liking and the prosciutto is crisp.

To serve, divide the polenta between the serving plates and top each with a tablespoon of marscapone. Add the veal, sage and prosciutto to the plate and serve with a wedge of lemon.

I served mine with a salad of lettuce, cucumber, capsicum and fetta.

Spanish Chicken with Chorizo and Potatoes

Following on from the Nigella Theme I made another one of her dishes the other night that we saw on her feasts show. Her original recipe was suited for about 6 people, so I halved the recipe for us 2, and then had leftovers the next day.

You can find a link to the original recipe here, otherwise this is my version below.

I changed the chicken type, as that’s what I had on hand, although next time I will do drumsticks and cutlets. I also cooked it at 180 degrees instead of 220, as I thought that was a bit high. Maybe if I had the original quantity then that would have worked, but not with the reduced amount.

I also added in a couple of red capsicums cut into chunks, as I had them in the fridge. I would definitely add them in as they were a fantastic addition.

Everything in the pan, ready to go in the oven

Close up!

All done and looking good

Easy Midweek meal

Spanish Chicken with Chorizo and Potatoes

1 tablespoon regular olive oil
4 Chicken Breasts, Bone in, Skin on (I only used 3 cause that’s what I had, I thought I had 4)
2 chorizo sausages cut into 4cm chunks
300g chat potatoes, halved
1 red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
grated zest 1 orange

1. Preheat the oven to 180º. Put the oil in the bottom a roasting tin. Rub the skin of the chicken in the oil, then turn skin-side up.

2. Scatter the chorizo sausages, capsicum and the chat potatoes in the tin. Sprinkle the onion and the oregano over ,then grate the orange zest over.

3. Cook for 1 hour, but after 30 minutes baste the contents with the orange-coloured juices.

I just served with a simple green salad and it was delicious. So easy and so tasty

Nigella's Asian Braised Beef

If anyone is reading this blog after my 6 month hiatus, I have decided to do things differently. I stopped blogging on the site as I kept getting frustrated with how long it took to upload pictures on blogger (does anyone else have this problem??) and deciding what I should and shouldn’t blog.

What I mainly want to use the blog for is to document what I make for dinner each night, as there are times I make something really good and then forget where I got the recipe from or forget about the meal entirely.

Luckily I have a great partner who cooks a lot too, so I won’t be updating what I eat every night, just what I cook.

So a great place to start is with a Nigella recipe! I love watching her cooking programs (and have got Frankie to watch them too!) and they really make you want to cook whatever she is cooking. I like that a lot of her recipes are simple too, cause my favourite recipes are the simple ones that pack a lot of flavour.

This recipe is very easy, but you need time to braise the meat, so best made on the weekend. The salad is an excellent accompaniment to the dish as well. Nigella served hers with noodles on the show, but I prefer rice.

The beef after it's been cooking for 2 hours - not the best picture...

Sweet and Sour Salad

Finished meal over rice

Nigella’s Asian Braised Beef with Sweet and Sour Salad

For the beef

2 onions, peeled, quartered
5cm/2in piece fresh root ginger, peeled, sliced
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tsp ground coriander
3 tbsp vegetable oil
250ml/9fl oz Chinese cooking wine (or dry sherry)
4 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp dark brown sugar
2 litres/3½ pints beef stock, preferably organic (I only used 1 Litre as 2 seemed quite a lot for the chuck steak)
2 tbsp oyster sauce
4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
3.5kg/7½lb beef shin, on the bone, cut by the butcher into thick slices (or 1kg/2¼lb beef shin off the bone, cut into large cubes) (I used 1kg of Chuck Steak instead)

For the salad

3 carrots, peeled, cut into matchsticks
4 spring onions, cut into matchsticks
1 long red chilli, seeds removed, cut into matchsticks
1 long green chilli, seeds removed, cut into matchsticks
20g/¾oz bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped

For the salad dressing

1 lime, juice only
4 tbsp Thai
fish sauce
1 tsp caster sugar

Preparation method

1. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.

2. For the beef, blend the onions, ginger, garlic and coriander in a food processor until well combined and finely chopped.

3. Heat the oil in a large casserole or ovenproof frying pan and fry the mixture over a medium heat, stirring regularly, until soft and beginning to catch in the pan; this should take about 10 minutes.

4. Pour in the Chinese wine (or sherry) and let it bubble up. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, stock, oyster sauce and rice wine vinegar and bring to a boil, then drop in the cinnamon sticks and star anise.

5. Add the pieces of beef shin and let everything come up to a bubble again, then clamp on a lid and put into the oven for 2 hours.

6. Take the casserole carefully out of the oven and, using a slotted spatula, remove the beef to an ovenproof dish. Cover with foil and keep warm in the oven while you vigorously boil the sauce in the casserole (or pan) on the hob, without a lid, until it has reduced by about half.

7. For the salad, combine all the julienned vegetables and the chopped coriander in a bowl.

8. For the salad dressing, mix the lime juice, fish sauce and caster sugar in another bowl and dress the vegetables with this.

9. To serve, arrange the beef on a serving platter and pour the reduced sauce over the meat. If you are using cubes of stewing steak, rather than slices of shin, you’d probably do better to use a deeper dish. Dress the top of the beef with the hot and sour shredded salad.

Panthers defeat Cardinals twice in GLIAC action

Craig Wilson had two hits with a pair of RBI and run scored in game two...
Craig Wilson had two hits with a pair of RBI and run scored in game two...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The SVSU baseball team returned to the diamond on Saturday to complete a four-game series with the Ohio Dominican Panthers to begin conference play. After dropping both games of a doubleheader on Friday, SVSU was defeated by a score of 3-0 in Game 1 and dropped an 8-6 decision to the Panthers in Game 2.

Game One

The Cardinals and Panthers began the first game of a doubleheader by playing to a scoreless tie through the first three innings.

ODU broke through in the bottom of the fourth inning with an RBI single, giving the Panthers a 1-0 lead. The Cardinals then put two runners in scoring position in the following half inning but left them stranded to close the top of the fifth. ODU connected for two more runs in the bottom of the fifth, pushing ahead by three runs on SVSU.

Saginaw Valley was retired in order in the sixth inning and then grounded into a double play in the seventh inning to drop Game 1, 3-0.

Inside the Boxscore

  • Chad Carson notched the only multi-hit game for the Cardinals, finishing 2-for-3 at the plate with a pair of singles. He also had a stolen base.
  • Brendan Harrison batted cleanup for the Cardinals and had SVSU's only extra-base hit of the opener.
  • Jordan Swiss, Craig Wilson and Adam Fitzgibbon each recorded a base hit for the Cardinals as well.
  • SVSU was outhit 7-6 by the Panthers.

On the Mound

  • Scott Sency (1-4) took the loss for the Cardinals. He went 4.1 innings on the mound and allowed three runs on seven hits with three walks.
  • Camden Dice appeared in relief for SVSU, pitching 1.2 innings of scoreless baseball.

Game Two

The Cards got out to the early 1-0 lead as Carson roped a double down the left field line, scoring Wilson from first base.

SVSU then tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the 2nd. Jason Clark gave SVSU a two-run lead with an RBI double that brought home Colton Brooks. Clark would cross home later in the inning thanks to an RBI single from Wilson.

Ohio Dominican kept the deficit at 3-2 after scoring two runs in the bottom half of the 2nd off fielding errors by the Cardinals.

The Cardinals pushed along into the 5th inning where they would regain the three-run edge on ODU. SVSU scored a pair of runs off a double from Brendan Harrison and later from a single off the bat of Brooks.

SVSU would lead 6-2 at the end of the 6th inning, after the Cardinals scored one run from an RBI single by Wilson.

ODU was unable to cut the deficit in the bottom frame, but rallied in the 7th and 8th innings to take the lead from SVSU. The Panthers scored three runs in both innings to jump ahead 8-6 on the Cardinals and were three outs from the series sweep.

The Cardinals were retired in order in the top of the 9th inning, dropping Game 2 by an 8-6 final and were swept in the four-game weekend series against Ohio Dominican.

Inside the Boxscore

  • Craig Wilson had a solid performance at the plate for the Cardinals. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and scored a run as well.
  • Chad Carson closed out the nightcap with another multi-hit contest against the Panthers. He finished 2-for-5 with a single, double, RBI and a run scored.
  • Austin Koin and Colton Brooks each had a pair of hits for SVSU as well. They also plated runs for the Cardinals.
  • Jason Clark was 1-for-3 at the plate and drove in a run.

On the Mound

  • Brian Feinauer got the start for the Cardinals and pitched well. He went 5 full innings and only allowed two runs (one earned) on two total hits. He would walk five batters and struck out three.
  • Amani Godfrey then took over for Feinauer, going 1.2 innings in relief for SVSU.
  • Alex Millhisler (0-1) was credited with the loss, giving up three runs (two earned) on three base hits in his one inning of work.

Up Next...

The Cardinals continues with the GLIAC baseball schedule next weekend with a road trip to Lake Erie College. SVSU and Lake Erie will square off in a four-game series on Saturday and Sunday. First pitch on Saturday is set for 1:00 p.m. with Game 2 slated for a 4:00 p.m. start. Action from Painesville, Ohio on Sunday will begin at Noon.

The real case against the Bain style of capitalism. If I’d had a bit more space, I would have gone into the ways the current tax code could be modified to discourage the short-term profit-taking that has characterized the financialization of the past 50 years. Obviously, the “carried interest” loophole that enables players like Romney to be taxed at capital gains rather than standard rates should be closed. But we also need to do more to discourage financial casino gambling. I’m in favor of a graduated transaction tax on financial derivatives; I’m also in favor of much lower tax rates for companies that produce actual goods and non-financial services. This is the Bain debate we need to have in this campaign–and, if the President chooses to make the high-road case, we may actually have it.

Firefighters in Swaziland are angry that they are being forced by their bosses to attend Christian church services.

A memo has been issued to stations across the kingdom advising that staff should attend Tuesday fellowship services.

The Observer on Saturday newspaper in Swaziland reported (20 May 2017) the memo from Chief Fire Officer Dumisani Khumalo read in part, ‘Officers-in-Charge are commanded to give support to these services by motivating officers under their command to attend these services. Such services headquarters consider them playing a major role such as counselling in various social problems encountered by officers. It also promotes unity among the workforce fraternity. However, headquarters is compelled to request for your support towards the success of these fellowship services.’

The newspaper reported that some firefighters felt they were being forced to follow the Christian religion and this was against their constitutional rights.

One firefighter was reported by the newspaper saying, ‘We cannot, therefore, have someone forcing down Christianity to us. It would have been better if the fellowship was conducted in such a way that all the religions are followed so that we also have the Muslims, the Bahais and those that believe in ancestors all accommodated,’ he said.

Forcing people to follow Christianity is contentious in Swaziland where King Mswati III rules as sub-Saharan Africa’s last absolute monarch. In January 2017 a directive was issued  by the Swazi Government which is handpicked by the King that Christianity was to be the only religion taught in schools.

The move was considered to be against the spirit, if not the letter, of the Swazi Constitution. When the 2005 Constitution was being drafted, it was decided not to insist that Swaziland was a Christian country. This was to encourage freedom of religion.

Lawyers for Human Rights spokesperson Sabelo Masuku said although Swaziland was predominantly Christian, the Government had to consider the Swazi Constitution which made it clear there was freedom of religious choice.

I'm saddened by those that misinterpret the Demand a Plan PSA I participated in.

Isn't it pretty?

Friday, July 09, 2004

In general, I try to focus on the positive, to hope for the best, and to give the benefit of the doubt. I sometimes wonder, though, how far that should be taken. Does it make sense to always believe in the good even if it means that often you will be disappointed? Does it help to hold onto hope in the face of evidence that leads one to believe that maybe it just isn't practical? What is the proper place between being naive and being cynical - is there such a thing as being realistic and if so, how do you find that balance? I always try to encourage others to look for the best of situations, to consider alternate reasons for seemingly bad attitudes, and I try to embrace this outlook myself. But often, I find myself being berated by others for being naive or blind to the way the world works. Many people I have encountered have a seemingly bleak view of life, though as someone pointed out to me, even though they speak of the dark side, they rarely act on it. Most people do act as if they care about others, even if they will say that they are out for only themselves. So, which do you do - always expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised when things turn out better than you were planning, or expect the best and sometimes get disappointed? And is there a possible balance between the two? As much as I have been disappointed, I am unwilling and incapable of getting rid of my optimism, my belief in the fact that people really do care about others, just because they are fellow human beings. I believe, as Aristotle says, that we are inherently social beings who need each other to survive. And in needing each other, I think we would prefer to look for the good, and focus on the positive. Maybe I do get disappointed on occasion, but I feel that my overall outlook leaves me better off on a daily basis. And I would rather suffer the let-downs rather than have a negative view of the world. I hope that no matter what life throws me, I am able to maintain my optimism, even if it means that I don't get my scales tipped over once in a while.

Have a good week everyone, including me.

I think I am cursed.
After this weekend I thought it was all behind me.
I felt good and was ready to breeze through the week.
Ya, right!
Guess what I did this morning while eating my breakie?
I lost half of a tooth.
Just peachy!
So now I get to spend Tuesday afternoon having my tooth put back together.
Oh and just to make the week more interesting I think I am getting the bladder infection they kept asking me about at the hospital.
I hope that the little shit cloud that is hanging over me moves on somewhere else.
I am getting tired of body breakdowns.
Alright...big breath in and let it out I am ready to get over it and get on with it.
Have a good week everyone......including me.

Jaime said...

Booo to feeling terrible and breaking teeth! :(

Shoo shit cloud, shoo!

Oh no!!
Pumpkin seeds, nettle tea, and cranberry juice should do the the trick :).
It can only get better!!!

Doc Johnson’s iVibe Select – iWand Gets Write Up in Glamour

By on November 30, 2017
Glamour_iWand_ Press Release

Doc Johnson’s new warming vibrator, the iVibe Select iWand, was the sole subject of a new Glamour article entitled, “With This Warming Vibrator, Winter Won’t Be the Only Thing Coming”.

The article, published last week, on November 21st 2017, was penned by journalist Sophie Saint Thomas.

Describing her experience with Doc Johnson’s iWand, Saint Thomas writes: “To say that I love this warming vibrator would not paint the full picture. After it made me orgasm, I wanted to snuggle up to the Doc Johnson iVibe Select iWand and slip into a beautiful slumber. Had this take on the wand vibrator finally made me understand why some people fall in love with inanimate objects?”

The article also notes that the iWand is perfect for both singles and couples, “regardless of the gender of your partner”, and that the vibe is easily rechargeable with no clunky wall outlet required.

Saint Thomas ends the article with these final thoughts: “Be prepared: You may have to open up your partnership to a triad to make room for this sex toy. I’m single, but with my [iWand] to get me off and my girlfriends there for emotional support, I basically have all my sexual and emotional needs met this cuffing season—and I don’t even have to meet anyone’s family over the holidays. I believe that this sex toy can change the way we date. From now on, if I’m going to let you into my bed, you’d better have a wonderful personality and be at least as impressive as this vibrator.”

Doc Johnson’s VP of Sales and Marketing, Scott Watkins, said, “Glamour is one of the most popular publications in the world, and a trusted name for women and couples looking to heat up their sex lives. The regular press coverage that our iVibe Select vibes have been receiving (including multiple inclusions in Cosmopolitan and Glamour) have exponentially increased our website traffic—and retailers should prepare for increased demand of our newest iVibe Select vibrators as this especially viral-worthy article continues to gain traction leading up to the holiday (and Valentine’s Day) season.”

Third synthSIG meeting April 1, 2009

This meeting of synthSIG we had the unique opportunity to visit the recording studio that is part of The University of the Arts School of Music. In this studio there are two Moog synthesizers and one Arp 2600 synth. The large modular Moog was the fourth one built by Robert Moog and has been lovingly restored and maintained in nearly perfect condition. Yes there are a few glitches but what can one expect for a device that is easily over forty years old. Analog lives!

We were very privileged to have Professor Andrew Rudin (now retired from teaching but not composing) who gave an energetic talk on his background with emphasis on how he became involved with electronic music while a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. He studied with George Rochberg and having seen the Moog synthesizer at the dance studio of  Alwin Nikolai he convinced Penn to bring Robert Moog to the campus. Within a year, Moog built one of his first large scale studios at Penn. Rudin created some seminal electronic works with that system. Upon graduation, he was hired by the Philadelphia Musical Academy to teach composition and was instrumental in that institution acquiring a Moog.

During the late 1960's Rudin was commissioned by Nonesuch Records to produce an electronic music album Tragoedia, a highly acclaimed example of serious musical composition realized on the Moog. An excerpt of this piece was used by Federico Fellini in his film Satyricon

The Philadelphia Musical Academy was later merged with the Philadelphia College of Art and eventually became The University of the Arts.

It was a rare opportunity to listen to a dedicated composer who pioneered the use of the electronic music synthesizer as a serious musical instrument. His stories about Robert Moog and the history of this treasure of a synthesizer was most engaging. Thank you Andrew!

Michael Johnson hosted our meeting and demonstrated some of the Moog's capability as well as fielding a number of questions on its operation. Thank you Michael!

Second synthSIG meeting

The second meeting of synthSIG met on Thursday Feb. 26th with a small but dedicated group. Our first presenter was Samual Raymond who demonstrated his compositional approach to "Narrative Sound." His approach was to extensively modify Garageband instruments to fit his expressive intents. He utilized Garageband's multi-tracking capabilities to create a progression of motifs that matched his narrative. The result was quite impressive in variety of timbres and expression.

Our second presenter that evening was Yohsuke Araki who brought his microKorg synth along with a multi-effect mixer and eked out a variety of rich sounds.

John Phillips was our third presenter who brought in an impressive array of hardware to demonstrate his interactive video/sound presentation. John utilized a Buchla Lightning wand performer( Buchla and Associates - Lightning III ), along with two laptop computers containing video and audio files.

Brian Biggs wound-up the evening doing a presentation of SoundCloud ( a place where creators of electronic music can upload, share and comment on works by members of the electronica community. Individuals may upload up to ten works for free or an unlimited number by paying a fee.

The next meeting of synthSIG will be either in March or early April. The meeting will be held in the UArts School of Music recording/synthesizer studio and will feature a demonstration of the very rare Moog modular synthesizer (number four of this rare breed!)

In addition there is an ARP 2600 synth that will be shown.

Inaugural Meeting of SynthSIG Dec. 10, 2008 UArts

The first meeting of SynthSIG was held on December 10th, 2008 at The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, with two engaging presenters, Michael Barker and Brian Biggs.

Michael is pictured here performing one of his works on the "bent" drum machine.

He gave a great introduction to the realm of circuit bending and showed details of modifications he has made to his Yamaha drum machines.

Brian Biggs presented his approaches to creating sound tracks for his video and animation works. He discussed a variety of software synths and plug-ins he has used including:

Reason ( and
Live (
Below are some links and comments that Brian supplied

DrDevice plug-in ( audiodamage below)

Brian sent this information along:
Tom, here's a short list of stuff I think is useful.
The best website for all this, in my opinion:
They have an annual circuit bending contest and they cover soft synths, hardware, oddities, Max/MSP, pretty much the whole gamut. The guy behind the site, Peter Kirn, wrote a terrific book about digital audio called Real World Digital Audio published by Peachpit. There is also a companion site called Create DIgital Motion.

Wire to the Ear is a decidedly un-academic take on matters electronic-musical. Oliver Chesler is a NY-based dark new waver in the tradition of Gary Numan and angry Depeche Mode. He talks about stuff as he actually uses it and even with the poor editing and typos, he's pretty entertaining. He's a big fan of Ableton and posts a lot of useful tricks for Live.
Synthtopia posts WAY too much, like 20-30 a day sometimes, and half of it is just junk. But there is a lot of info about, you know, synths. I find lately that they're just pulling from other sites like Wire to the Ear and Create Digital Music.
This is where I got that crazy kinetic delay I was showing last night. They have three or four other VSTs that I'd like to get.
This is the creator of Synplant. They also designed Malstrom in Reason.
A decent documentary on circuit bending.
Foundsound and Unfoundsound records. Local. LOTS of free music. Mostly clickity glitchy and gets repetetive, but there are some real gems in here. They also post sampled stuff, like a collection of sounds taken at KB Toys in the Galleria on Market Street.

And of course you can search "circuit bending" on YouTube or Vimeo and get a lovely treasure trove of stuff.

Create Digital Music has a pool on Flickr for those of us who like to look at other people's gear.

And I'm not sure how to describe this:

RequireJS 0.22.0 Released

RequireJS 0.22.0 is available for download.

The highlights:
Thanks to Joe Parry and Francois Laberge for the Node test cases and feedback, John Hann and Kris Zyp on the plugin API.

This brings the code closer to a 1.0 release. I want the plugin API to settle a bit, see if others can build useful plugins with it, and then look at moving the optimizer from Rhino to Node. Hopefully just a couple releases away from a 1.0.

A side note: I goofed on the previous two releases, they should have been 0.20.0 and 0.21.0, but I released them as 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 respectively. This 0.22.0 release gets the version back on track.

Back to Soups & Chilis

From Matt in Brockton, MA, "City of Champions" and Patriots country.

1 onion cubed
1 bell pepper cubed
2 cloves garlic diced
1lb chorice (sausage)
1lb shrimp
1 cup white rice
3 cans of chicken broth
1 can Italian flavored crushed tomatoes
1 tbls of cayenne pepper

Use a pot and start with some olive oil (3 tbls) Brown onion, pepper, garlic, chorice, and shrimp (fully peeled, no tail). When ingredients are almost fully cooked add tomatoes, cayenne, and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer for about 10 mins. Then add chicken broth and rice. Bring to a boil, then let simmer till rice is cooked. And "BAM", there you have it. A meal fit for a Super Bowl Champ.

Smoked Salt Lip Elixir by TokyoMilk

My fascination with the products and scents available from TokyoMilk continues, so I picked up one of the lip elixirs to try out.  I chose Smoked Salt, as that seemed such a strange combination for a lip balm.  The flavor notes listed are  smoked sea salt, burnt sugar, molasses, and vanilla bean.
Danish Viking Smoked Sea Salt
"Sweet temptation is beckoning.  Remarkably uncommon essences infused in to a smooth, luscious balm.  Elicit a kiss with lips tamed by a lush, silky blend of sweet Jasmine & Bee Balm laced with crushed extracts of hydrating Aloe Leaf & Vitamin E.  Femme fatale incarnate.  A supple seduction.  Not for the faint of heart:  An unexpected mixture of fragrance & flavor.  A remarkable lip elixir for a remarkably uncommon experience. (Source:  TokyoMilk)
Fortunately, I like how it both smells and tastes!  There is indeed a slight smokiness in the fragrance, along of the lines of a smoked ham with a sugar glaze as opposed to a wood fire smoke.  Apparently, smoked sea salts get their distinctive flavoring from different hard woods in a fire that  infuses the sea salt with a sappy smokiness.   I've seen reviews that compared the smell of Smoked Salt to a Lapsang Souchong tea, and another said they found it to be a comforting scent.
The taste is slightly sweet, and I do see Stevia in the ingredient list.  Neither the smell nor the taste is overwhelmingly, although I can smell the balm after I put it on if I curl my lips up towards my nose.

The packaging reflects one of the things I like the most about TokyoMilk products - distinctiveness and flair.  The tin is slightly larger yet thinner than one of the Rosebud salve tins, and you get .7 oz for $7 vs. the .8 oz for $6 of the Rosebud salves.

This is a petrolatum based lip salve, although there are some other interesting ingredients in the blend.  The texture is what you would expect from a petrolatum based product, slightly thicker than Vaseline, smooth, and non-sticky.
The thing I do not like is that I find the tin difficult to open at times.  I've actually cut my finger on the edge of the tin before, which is problematic, to say the least.  I consider that to be a design flaw and it did make me reluctant to use Smoked Salt afterwards.  I may end up transferring the balm into another container so I can continue to enjoy it without having to fight with the container.

Disclaimer:  I purchased this.
