Cities With the Best Music Scenes
The Contenders: Page 2
Great music, electronic and rock, I see musicians almost everywhere I go in Miami, and they don't want to get rich or famous, they just want to play music, and that's what it should be about... Love the music scene
Get out of your North American head space, see the world and then visit Melbourne... Nothing more to say.
Does not matter what any other city does, EVER; Liverpool's impact will always be remembered.
Imagine checking out the club scene there in 1962!
The birthplace of modern jazz. Need I say more? Charlie Bird Parker, Count Basie, Eminem, Pat Metheny, Benny Moten, Big Joe Turner, Burt Bacharach, Melissa Etheridge, Oleta Adams, Walter Brown, Jessica Harp, Pete Johnson, Jay McShann, Chely Wright, David Cook (American idol), Gene Clark (The Byrds), etc...
Dance capital of the Netherlands, country with the best DJs and dance producers of the world.

I left Brazil when I was 23 years old and I didn't really have a professional working experience there. I worked as an intern here and there and had one part-time job which was the only one registered in my "working card". I don't really know the specific term in English, as I have not yet seen a country that has the same working registration card as Brazil. Anyway, it's a document where you have all your registered employers and every working person needs to have one. It's the law.
In Ireland my first jobs were as a cashier in a bargain store, as floor staff and barmaid and as a retail staff. It was only in 2009 when I moved to the business world and when my professional working experience really started. I worked in a small office with the two owners with a footwear distribution company. I've learned so much during the time I stayed in the company! In fact, I think that most of what I know about business, on how to run one, I leaned there!
It was only in 2011 that I entered the corporate world! And then everything changed… Oh, the corporate world. Definitely not for everyone. Definitely not! You need to be quick, watch your back (all the time), cover your ass (again, all the time), give more than you can (and want), play the bullshit, swallow a few frogs, fight for something to get better and not always get the credit for and the most important of all, be ambitious! Do not dare to come to work to just do the core job. Even if you do it very well. Only this is not enough.
Yes, the big companies make sure to give you a cool and functional working space, food, treats, drinks, nice parties here and there. If you work hard, you want to play hard too, right? It's just fair. So, they make sure to balance things out. And yes, we do learn a lot as things change very fast. You must keep up with everything!
I had the privilege to work for three of the biggest tech giant companies out there and for this, I am extremely thankful! I never forget the felling of coming home after my first induction day in the first one I worked for. I was certain that I was a very lucky and special person for getting hired and that I would never leave them! But I did leave them 2 and half years later.
When I was hired for the second company I was once again reassured I was a very special person! I had another wow experience but the truth is, I had listened to the "oh my God you're so lucky to be here" speech before. Everything sounded a bit familiar and felt familiar too. Once again, 2 and half years later and I was out of there!
When I was hired in the third company, of course I heard again how lucky, amazing and special I was! The speech was also the same as the others and honestly, at that point I had been there done that and I just didn't get amused or wowed! In this one I stayed just short of a year as life got in the way and I moved to Malta.
So, I think it's fair to say that my main professional working experience is in the corporate world, more specifically in American tech companies. For the past 6 years I have worked for 3 different companies but it really felt like one! Now that I am out of a so-called corporate company and a different industry I see, feel, live and breathe the difference! Hello freedom, I missed you so much!!!
The hiring process for most (not to say all) of the tech companies are long and exhausting. You need to prove and outstand yourself in every round to many different people. You are interviewed by the recruiter, hiring managers, peers, other managers, directors and whoever else they want to. What happened to trust the hiring manager's decision? Is that because the hiring managers can't make a decision on their own or is that a way of not taking the whole blame in case the candidate ends up fucking it up after being hired? So yes, once you are offered the job after this exhausting process you do feel a bit special because, why wouldn't you? I mean, you were THE chosen one among thousand applicants and you pass all the 100 interview rounds! And in case you are still not really sure you're special, don't worry, they will make sure to tell you this in your first day at work.
This is the hiring process I know, or knew. This is the one I was used to. When I moved to Malta and started to hear back from the jobs I applied for I was a bit in shock. The first company that wanted to proceed with my application sent me an email a few weeks later asking me which of the following given dates I was available to come in for an interview. First, I was surprised that the hiring manager was the one contacting me directly and secondly, there was no phone screening. Just come to the office, as casual as this.
The interview was with the hiring manager and it was very light. It was all based in my experience, the usual "walk me through your CV" thing. Of course, she asked me for few examples of things I've done but overall it was so relaxed and it only lasted 1 hour. When she thanked me for coming I was like "what do you mean? Don't I need to stay here for the next 4 hours and meet another 100 people before you decide I am good enough for the job?". No, it was as simple as that! Thanks for coming we will be in touch and have a nice day. Ok, there was a test later which I didn't do really well and I have never heard a rejection from them. They just didn't bother to give me feedback. Something very common in Malta as I have never received a "no thanks" email for all the other jobs I applied for in here.
My second job interview in Malta was as straight forward as the first one, with the difference that I got the job! The hiring manager scheduled a phone interview with me, which we chatted for like 40min and at the end she invited me to come onsite for a face to face chat. The next day I was in the office and we had a casual talk, chatted a bit more about the job, discussed salary expectations and 30 min later I was out of there with an informal job offer.
Until this day I can't believe how light and relaxed the hiring process seems to be in Malta. But why shouldn't it be? It's not rocket science: you see a CV you like and find the candidate suitable for the position, you meet the person face to face, ask straight forward and relevant questions, see if the candidate has potential and then you make a decision. I was hired because I know the job suits me and not because I didn't crack after meeting 100 people. I was hired because I am capable and not because I am special. I was hired because the hiring manager could see my potential.
Since day one at the job I feel so free and comfortable, as I was supposed to feel! I don't have one thousand meetings every day anymore, which by the way 90% of them were just a waste of time. Meetings are required whenever there is a real reason and they are short and straight to the point. Do you know what else I don't have scheduled? 1:1! My God the 1:1s, how I hate them! Ok, I know the reason why 1:1s exist and honestly, some people need them as they don't feel comfortable approaching their managers to talk about whatever they want to talk.
If I have a problem that I need the manager's help I will approach him/her and talk about it. I have no problem what so ever to approach people, speak up about anything and more importantly, I will let you know once I feel I am ready to progress in my career. Here, I do what I am supposed to do, I am trusted and if I need any support I know where my manager is and she's there for me. Just like it should be! The "my door is always open" policy still works just fine.
Why do we must talk every week about what I am working on and how I am doing when you're the manager and knows very well what I am working on? And if I am unwell or whatever I will let you know! Why twice a year I need to waste almost a day writing down all the projects I have worked on and had an impact on when the manager was there and should know the answer to this? Are annual reviews just a way of making things easier for managers because they can't remember what everyone in the team worked on individually?
Why every 6 months or every year I must do a career progress plan? Even if I don't know yet where to go next, I must write down something because I cannot just do what I am doing. My manager "has" to help me with my next step even though they all know that a whole team cannot be promoted! So why the pressure? The good people, who perform well and fight for what they want will make things happen regardless of an Individual Development Plan (the famous IDP).
I was in that corporate, pushing, tiring environment for so long that in my head all companies were like this. It shocked me to know that the world outside the tech bubble is not like this, at all! There are companies doing their own thing without pushing their employees too hard or putting an extra (and unnecessary) pressure on them. Work/life balance you said? Remove the bullshit from your company structure and work/life balance is not even a thing!
Now, do not get me wrong please. I did enjoy the past 6 years working for the tech companies and I did learn a lot. I would not be where I am now if it wasn't for what I learned in these companies. I met so many amazing and intelligent people, I was part of many Milestones at these companies and am proud of achieving great things together, being there and having my fingerprints all over. Indeed I was lucky to be part of that and I am special. But I am not special because I was accepted In a company that "everybody" wants to be.
This post is not about being ungrateful or trying to fix the tech companies "problems" or any other company's structure. I don't know how all companies work and I can only speak about my experience in 3 tech companies. This post is about me opening my eyes and mind as I am now exposed to a completely different work environment. This post is about me being free of the (sometimes) unhealthy work environment tech companies create to their employees with all the unnecessary pressure and unconscious competition against peers. I don't hear the words awesome, impact, career, career, career anymore on my daily basis! I don't need to leave my calendar opened to remind me of a "maybe-we-could-skip-this" meeting I must have today. I can work on what I was hired to work on and the extra mile is completely up to me and me only! It's is refreshing to be experiencing something new for a change and for knowing that not everyone does things the same way. After all, why should they? We all are our own individuals in this world and that's the reason why we are special!

Samsung Galaxy S IV rumored to sport Floating Touch, Green PHOLED display
A new report has suggested that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S IV will have floating touch technology which can be useful to hover over the screen easily by using user's finger as a cursor. Coupled with Samsung's Air View, it will let you quickly browse a folder's contents without having to open it. The feature is found on the Sony Xperia Sola smartphone.
It is further reported that at the time of official announcement, the Samsung Galaxy S IV will be powered by Google's Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean out of the box but later, it will be updated to Android 4.2.2 version. From previously leaked different Benchmark results, we already confirmed that the device will be running the 4.2.1 Jelly Bean version. A new camera feature called Samsung orb which can capture image in 360 degree is expected to be accessible to the Galaxy S IV user.
It is not the only information regarding the specs of the device that we have found today. Coming to the display, Galaxy S IV will sport a new type of AMOLED screen technology called Green PHOLED which uses a phosphorescent material made of green and yellow parts. By using this technology, the upcoming Samsung's Galaxy S IV screen is expected to be 25 % more power efficient.
The smartphone expected to be made out of plastic body may be packed with a 4.99-inch display, 2GB of RAM, 13MP Rear-facing camera. The device is also expected to come with Smart Scroll and Smart Pause features.
The Galaxy S IV is expected to be available in Black and white colors with 16, 32, and 64GB variants and will be announced on March 14 at New York City.

Welcome to The Daily Yam, bringing you the top play from the night before, anything else you might have missed, and what to look forward to today. It's your one-stop shop when you skipped last night's action, or have forgotten what day it is. Last night the Heat, led by some dude named LeBron James, took care of business against the Bucks. Hard.
Your Daily Yam
Barring a few lulls (or: moments of hopeful excitement, if you're a Bucks fan) the Heat cruised to a Game 1 victory over the Bucks last night. The outcome was never in doubt, and the game was summed up early on by this fastbreak, which was triggered by Monta Ellis driving and failing to keep possession. Then the Big 3 ran out in transition, and the rest is history (via That NBA Lottery Pick):
LeBron James dunking ferociously over a non-existent Bucks team. Sounds like this whole series in a nutshell already. By the way, can we get a closeup of the awe in this Miami bro's face?
Possible captions include "Wow," "Jeez" and "Golly."
What Else Happened Last Night?
Very little excitement in Sunday's NBA playoff lineup — the Spurs beat the Lakers 91-79, the Pacers handled the Hawks 107-90 and the Thunder dominated the Rockets 120-91.
What's On Tap Today?
You enjoyed those playoff games this weekend, you say? Well, there's a whole lot more where those came from. Game 2 of Bulls-Nets is on in Brooklyn at 8 p.m. ET, then it's Grizzlies-Clippers in L.A. at 10:30 p.m. ET (7:30 local time); in baseball, the Athletics visit the Red Sox in a matchup of "teams that are surprisingly decent" at 6:35 p.m ET, and the Braves take on the Rockies at 8:35 p.m. ET.
I know it's tough, considering it's Monday and all — but have a good day, would you?

I got to have dinner with my BFF and her baby last night. It's not very often that we get together because she's been working a lot lately and was recently married. Since she's a busy woman, I take advantage of her free time. ;)
I got a budget put together! I know I've mentioned it before, but I don't always make the best decisions with my money. This time, I had a list of what money goes where each paycheck, and I plan to STICK TO IT!
The roses that Nate got me for our anniversary (picture on Instagram) are still looking gorgeous a week later!
The government shutdown is OVER!! ;) I won't get into politics here on the blog, but it sure is nice that the news will stop talking about it now. Maybe.
I've been looking high and low for a good black & white striped tee that I can wear with lots of outfits. Browsed around Old Navy today, and found the perfect one on clearance for $2.99! HOLLA!
Like I said above, I had a budget made. While making the budget, I realized how much "empty dollars" I'm wasting. So much of my money is spent on CRAP, and that's gotta stop because it's quite depressing.
Binky stinks. I'm blaming it on the rain. Dogs that get wet don't smell good days later. He needs a bath. BAD. Don't worry, he'll get one this weekend. He's lucky he's cute. ;)
My bloglovin' feed is outta control. Must get caught up on blog reading.

We Day Pinball Clemons extends his reach to the world
Story By Deirdre Kelly
The Globe and Mail
Published (Photo Credit Charla Jones/The Globe and Mail)
Michael (Pinball) Clemons grew up in public housing in Florida, living opposite the town sewer until he was 14. His single mother, who had attended a segregated high school, gave birth to him while she was still a teenager. He rarely saw his father, who remained miles away in another town while he was a boy.
To say his life wasn't easy would be an understatement.
But Mr. Clemons, a black man who triumphed over personal struggle to become a prominent and widely celebrated member of the Canadian Football League, is not embittered.
Today a We Day ambassador and motivational speaker, if he reflects on his past it is to allow him a measure of how far he, and society, has come. His message is inclusiveness, a lesson learned as a person of colour growing up in the American south.
"None of us is alone," he says during a recent morning conversation in which he lives up to the nickname given to him when he first joined the Toronto Argonauts back in 1989.
As he was on the playing field, nimbly dashing between opponents to grab the advantage, in conversation Mr. Clemons is a jolt of shiny energy, a forward-moving ball getting a high score for sheer positivity. A man on a mission.
"None of us is as good as all of us together," he continues with a pep that makes redundant the day's first cup of coffee. Mr. Clemons instantly focuses your attention. But not on himself, more on the causes in which he believes.
"When I was growing up it was I, I, I," he says, referring to his singleminded ambition to graduate from high school with a football scholarship to Virginia's College of William and Mary, his ticket out of a life on the margins.
"But these young people today are We, We, We. They are all about helping others, they are about giving to their communities and to the rest of the world. I wanted to support that."
A naturalized Canadian citizen, Mr. Clemons joined We Day in 2009, volunteering to go into local schools in Toronto and Oakville, where he lives with his wife and three children, to boost the cause. He also pledged the support of his own Pinball Clemons Foundation to raise $1-million. He thought he was done.
But then a We Day trip to Kenya to help build a couple of much-needed classrooms in an impoverished community, worse than anything he had ever known, radically altered his plans.
"Two schools became a commitment to do 132 schools," he says. "Now we are looking at 250 classrooms in addition to adopting a small community in Kenya through Feed the Children/We Day, and a couple more special projects in Ecuador. We will also be building some classrooms there."
He's now covering more ground than he ever did when playing football.
His good works have also taken him to Sierra Leone and Nicaragua, Sri Lanka and China, Haiti and India. "My mother raised me to be kind and giving to my community, and if I ever fell short I would know it," he says. "But I had no idea that I could impact the world."
He credits We Day, including founders Marc and Craig Kielburger and Me To We CEO Roxanne Joyal, with extending his reach. Their youth-oriented movement empowers young people with the belief that they can make a difference. It's more than just talk.
"We practise inclusiveness. You have to volunteer in your community to be invited to attend, and so many have done this, they have given to their communities, and then they come and say 'How can we do more?' They are looking at the rest of the world," observes Mr. Clemons, marvelling at the enormousness of it all.
"They've already been inclusive and they are engaging in bigger acts of kindness, spreading love not just in their own communities but across the planet," he continues.
"And it is this movement that involves and moves more diverse cultures than I have ever seen in my lifetime." And he has seen a lot. Enough to know how far he's come.
"My life was starkly different," he says meekly.
"And when I think of the diversity of experience that exists at this time it's almost impossible for me to say how differently my own upbringing was. My mother went to a segregated school, attended only by coloured people. So look at how far we have evolved. But there's still so much more for us to do."
If he could wave a magic wand and create the world of his dreams, Mr. Clemons would see it as balanced and fair, where every man and every woman felt united and strong behind a shared cause of universal love and respect. Global interaction is the goal.
"How can I be comfortable with the luxury I enjoy when I know my brother is in pain," asks Mr. Clemons, not expecting an answer. "It's my desire to help others. And help others pursue the dream."

Accord 03-08
dinoc submitted a new guide:
Grom Audio - review - all Honda
Check the full guide here.
I need this in my life too
Yes I think is a very good investment and it gives the freedom to play music from whatever source you want (USB stick, Android phone, Iphone, or streaming over 3G/4G network).
In my case I like to keep the music on my phone or listen streamings from apps like soundcloud.
Optional you can add Bluetooth dongle for audio streaming or hands free calls.
And now they are releasing an optional HD radio dongle too (DAB radio - they are in beta testing with this).
If I could plug my phone in I could just play 1xtra all the time lol as have loads of data that I don't use cheaper than buying a DAB double din stereo for sure.
what happened to your XCarlink kit?
I donated the unit

text: 000 FXUS63 KMQT 162042 AFDMQT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 342 PM EST Tue Jan 16 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 342 PM EST TUE JAN 16 2018 ...Lake effect snow diminishes this evening, gusty winds overnight through Wednesday... The layout of lake effect snow has been quite complicated today as a weak surface trough lingers across the eastern CWA and ridging slowly builds across the western CWA. Moreover, LES activity became increasingly cellular this afternoon in response to sheared low- level flow and insolation. The wind shift ahead of the ridge was located along a line from approximately Negaunee to Iron Mountain at 20UTC. Behind this line, light W to NW-wind lake effect will continue into the evening. Ahead of this line, pockets of moderate to heavy LES continue near Lake Superior. Given low visibility to 1/4mi and quick 1/2" to 1" accumulations under these showers, will hold on to ongoing advisories for Marquette and Alger counties. As WSW winds take hold later this evening, LES should shift northward over Lake Superior. However, it would not be surprising to see a LES band hug the shore of Keweenaw County or even possibly linger on shore into the early overnight. A weak trough embedded in larger mid-level troughing over northern Quebec will brush NE Lake Superior overnight. Fairly dry low-levels will prevent any precip, so only some mid-level clouds are expected. Gusty winds and blowing snow will then be of some concern overnight through Wednesday. W to WSW will increase overnight and remain gusty through the day as Upper MI sits between a 1002hPa low over southern Hudson Bay and a 1042hPa high over OK/AR. Though there will be a substantial inversion around 2kft in response to robust WAA aloft, dry conditions and 45-55kt winds on the inversion should translate to very gusty conditions at the surface, especially with mostly sunny skies during the day. With plenty of fresh, loose snow from the past couple days, sharp reductions in visibility are expected generally north of M-28 between Wakefield and Marquette, where gusts of 30 to 35mph will be possible mid morning into the afternoon. However, gusts to 40mph will be possible for westward facing slopes of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Given this potential impact of briefly very poor visibility during peak travel times Wednesday, have issued an SPS for the aforementioned locations. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 342 PM EST TUE JAN 16 2018 ...Storm system still on track Sunday night into Monday... Late this week focus is on warm up that will boost daytime temps above the freezing mark. Upper level flow will be west to northwest so there could be a couple weaker shortwaves coming through. Strongest sfc low expected to track north of Lk Superior on Friday. Lift with the system and sufficient moisture could lead to light wintry mix over northern Upper Michigan on Friday. Ptype likely would be snow or sleet before switching to rain. Precip would be very light. May be enough clearing on Friday aftn behind the system for temps to warm well into the 30s and maybe even reach lower 40s, especially west with more sunshine and no flow off chilly waters of northern Lake Michigan. Weak cold front could drop temps back some on Saturday but still should see most areas above freezing. Attn by late weekend will be on incoming storm system to the Upper Great Lakes. Low pressure system will be forced by southern stream upper level trough. Expected track of low will be critical for rain/snow line with the system. As it stands now, looks like most of the area away from Lk Michigan will see widespread snow, possibly heavy. May also have blowing snow issues too near Lake Superior. The primary time that precip would occur would be Sunday evening through Monday afternoon. Monday morning commute to work/school would certainly be impacted. Forecast ensembles from the GFS, ECMWF and GEM also point to a sfc low track that would favor mostly snow for all but south and east forecast area. Energy that eventually forms the southern stream system is still well offshore the Pacific Northwest coast. A lot of time for track to shift around but attm models/ensembles are locked into strong storm affecting Upper Michigan which what could be first widespread moderate to heavy snow this cold season. Latest WPC experimental guidance is also showing high probabilities for seeing at least moderate snow amounts Sunday into Monday. Will continue to mention in Hazardous Weather Outlook. Broad upper level troughing persists beyond this early week system. Could see another shortwave/wave of low pressure produce some snow, then some indication gradually colder air could arrive mid to late next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1253 PM EST TUE JAN 16 2018 Lake effect snow producing intermittent IFR vis and IFR/MVFR ceilings will end at KIWD and KSAW by late afternoon and KCMX this evening as winds become W to WSW. VFR conditions are the expected through the period with the exception of possibly MVFR visibility due to BLSN at KCMX overnight into Wednesday. Gusty west winds are expected at all sites, especially KCMX, overnight through much of Wednesday. Winds just above a sharp temp inversion at 2kft will be 50-55kts late tonight and Wednesday morning, so LLWS is expected even with gusty surface winds. && .MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 342 PM EST TUE JAN 16 2018 W to WSW gales to 40 knots are expected to develop across western Lake Superior overnight and eastern Lake Superior on Wednesday, then diminish Wednesday evening. Heavy freezing spray is also expected across the western lake during this time. Otherwise, no gales are expected through the upcoming weekend. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Upper Michigan...

Alright, this is just like regular pinoy style spaghetti but I used linguine instead. I have always been using different pasta shapes ever since and there was a time that linguine became a favorite. This pasta made a comeback a few weeks back and I used it for this "spaghetti" dish and I also used it for chicken sopas and I actually liked it.
I cooked this at the same time with cinnamon muffin. Carbohydrates overload but they kind of goes well together. I can actually win a trophy at AwardsForAnything.com was what my cousin said for all these dishes I am cooking which is very much appreciated by people who get to taste them.
Read the rest of this entry »
It was only a few weeks ago when I kind of had a minor obsession with my home made burgers. Well home made because I made the patties from scratch. I love how I have full control of every ingredient I put in there. Of course being pregnant right now I have to be wary of what I put in my mouth.
Then one day I run out of burger buns but I have all other ingredients like the beef pattie, cheese, tomatoes and cucumber. Then an idea came to mind… I miss chappati! I could use chappati in place of burger buns and I could easily make it at home as I always have flour on hand. I cut the patties into smaller cuts and assembled everything on top of the chappati. Then I realized it is kind of like shawarma. It is a shawarma but is also a burger. Haha I liked this very much. Especially after all the hunger I felt after I looked for the misplaced leather repair kits. I truly believe food tastes better the more hungry you are. Try it.
I wanted to bake something bready one time so I again searched the net for a simple recipe that calls for simple ingredients that I already have. I happen to crave for something with cinnamon so I chose this recipe.
Alright, I had a hard time naming this recipe because this is a made up recipe I didn't even know about before.
I was supposed to make some Baked Ziti. I want it with bolognese sauce and bechamel sauce. But what I wasn't aware of is that I don't have spaghetti sauce in stock so I just went ahead and sauteed the beef and sausage until I have the spaghetti sauce hopefully a few hours later.
I also went ahead and made my dependable bechamel sauce recipe. The penne pasta was also cooked already.
Then hunger struck. I couldn't wait for the spaghetti sauce anymore. So I just went assembled what I already have, the sauteed beef with sausage and herbs and the bechamel sauce. Was I completely surprised that this tasted really good! I didn't even miss the red sauce. Now this is a recipe I will keep on preparing from now on. 🙂
My favorite silog meal. This is ♥.
There's a new gasoline station close to where we live and I gas-ed up there once. I notice a silog restaurant (together with a bakery and car parts store that also displays photos of harley davidson parts) and of course that did excite me since I'm a big fan of silog meals. To those who doesn't know, silog meals consists of SInangag which is fried rice, LOG which is the last syllable of itlog which is egg in english and a viand that could be anything like say TOcino which is sweet cured pork. Put together all those syllables and you have TOSILOG. So I decided to have our car washed there and try the new silog place.
I ordered Tapsilog which comes with Tapa or cured beef even though the place offers so many other silog choices. There's tosilog but I am usually disappointed with the tocino that these kind of places usually serve. Sometimes there's too much fat or the tocino doesn't even taste or look like tocino at all so no I didn't order that. I wasn't happy with the meal they served because first of all the fried isn't even fried. It's like regular rice with yellow tint. The tapa I can't even describe. I was so disappointed I had to have a silog meal at home.
This is how tosilog should be. The rice should really be fried, every single grain of it. With garlic the better. It must come with a side dish of fresh tomatoes or atchara. Then the tocino must be sweet and soft and yet cooked through, not overly cooked and burned.
This really is one of the simple pleasures in life and it's no wonder why most Filipinos love this dish. I just can't understand why it's so hard to find a restaurant that serves at least decent if not great tasting silog meals. Oh I know but I'll zip my lips for now.
Recently I've been finding myself staying away from plain rice. I am ok with fried rice though. And I've been cooking my pancakes pretty frequently like 3-4 times this week.
I've been trying to cook my pancakes like how I used to make them in Singapore, I made it perfect even without a recipe, just putting in ingredients by feel, because I made it almost everyday because our housemate's son Xavian liked it very much. I haven't been 100% successful at replicating it but I am close.
And now I like my pancakes with butter (of course!), maple syrup and chicken sausages. It's a really nice combination. I eat this with a glass of my Anmum chocolate flavored milk with lots of ice and eat this in one of our computer carts or in front of the television. Haha I know I shouldn't be eating in front of the tv but I can't help it. 🙂 In these days when I find it hard to find contentment in most of the food I eat, it's a relief to have this. And soon I'll have the perfect recipe of my pancakes and I'll try to note it down this time.
Don't be deceived by this photo. It doesn't look like it's going to rock your world but it did rock mine. 😉
This is a dish from Bulacan. I'm half Bulakenya by the way. More than a month ago, I reached a point in my pregnancy where no food satisfied me and I'm one person where satisfaction is a big deal. (This made me realize I am at that point again, no contentment with food grrr.) And it's as if I'm missing and craving something I can't put my finger on. Then it hit me. I'm missing the dishes I grew up with, the dishes my Nanay prepared for me and my cousins. Then I set a date to go back there and it's not near where we live now. Without traffic it will take me around 2 1/2 hours of driving and that is without traffic. So I headed there early in the morning before 6am and wow it was heaven driving in Edsa at that time. In around 30 minutes I was already in NLEX. 🙂 Yes guys that is possible in Edsa even I couldn't believe it you just got to have extra scorpion motorcycle helmets on hand. 😉
Going back, I asked my aunt to show me how to cook this dish and Tinumis which is the Bulacan version of Dinuguan which is pork in blood stew. It sounds yucky but it is at least for me one of the best dishes in the world. I tried my best to document the steps through video and by writing it down but it got a bit confusing since she was cooking these two dishes at the same time. I went home with big containers of Tinumis and Pinatisang Baboy. I froze them after putting them in smaller containers and we had enough supply to lasts us for months. It's amazing how much rice I can eat with gusto with this dish. Now my tummy is quite large now and I shouldn't be driving to far places so I guess I will have to try to make this dish myself. I truly hope I can make this dish and make it taste like the original version. Fingers crossed. 🙂
I feel like I'm naglilihi again. Certain cravings and aversions towards food I felt during my first trimester but that was much worse because I was always hungry but can't eat. Just thinking about that phase of my pregnancy makes me a bit nervous as that was really difficult for me. Now I can eat… just very picky. It's hard to find contentment in the food I eat. The usual favorites has let me down so many times. But sinigang na baboy has been good on me. That when I don't know what to eat, I'll have this. I have made a post about this dish before, the more complete Sinigang na Baboy year 2011. 🙂
No need to have all the ingredients, just the pork belly, taro root or gabi and kangkong or swamp cabbage and I'm happy na. Or maybe this is an act of desperation. 🙂
Sinigang for 2 pax.
I was forbidden to eat those veggies with too many seeds as that will worsen my fingers and joints pain. I know I should be eating Salmon Sinigang instead and I used to love that dish, but I just can't stand the taste of salmon since I got pregnant. Read the rest of this entry »
I can't find my words recently. To be honest I don't know what to call this dish. This is just like Filipino Spaghetti only I used macaroni instead of spaghetti. I was going to bake it but was too hungry to I just went ahead and ate it as is. We Filipinos immediately think of Baked Macaroni when we see macaroni shells in red sauce hence the title I gave this dish slash post.
With toasted garlic bread. Way too much butter but I like to indulge in this stage of my pregnancy. Haha i'm using the pregnancy excuse I should be ashamed… 😉 But really cut me some slack people (yes I am talking to myself) this pregnancy caught me off guard in a way that I didn't expect it to be so hard for me. So indulging is good.. it keeps me sane. 🙂
And with a dish as good as this, we women will not need to be stunningly pretty, we will look gorgeous to the people whom we served this to and will smell good to them like we have pink sugar perfume on even though in reality we smell like roasted garlic haha.
We had lots of leftover steamed crabs. As always I just use whatever's available at home and make something out of it. I was craving for sotanghon (vermicelli) soup and that's what I made. I'm one who believes that there's no rule in cooking. Follow your gut and was I glad I did because this dish truly satisfied me.
So I just sauteed minced garlic in 3 tablespoons of atchuete (annatto) oil, white onion (I have a new appreciation for white onion, it's sweeter which I like), and ginger. After sauteing for about a minute I added the halve crabs and chicken balls.

New York Attorney Sentenced to 4 Years for Short Sale Fraud Scheme
New York attorney Helene Stetch, 53, of Lindenhurst, has been sentenced Wednesday to a prison term of 16 months to four years, according to a press release by the Queens County District Attorney. In a novel form of short sale fraud, Stetch was accused of selling homes to new owners without paying off both the existing mortgages and obtaining approval from all lien holders.
The homeowners who thought they were conducting legitimate short sales were later surprised to receive foreclosure notices.
Stetch had worked at the law office of Kenneth Schwartz at Carle Place in New York and wrote most of the disbursement checks, which Schwartz, 67, signed.
Helene Stetch executed eight confessions of judgment totaling about $2.3 million, while Kenneth Schwartz executed confessions of judgment in favor of two homeowners totaling about $129,000.

Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Maldives
The Coco Palm Dhuni Kohlu is on a beautiful island, the resort is fringed by white sandy beaches, dressed with luxurious tropical vegetation, and hosts a blue crystal clear lagoon for the enjoyment of a vast range of water sports. Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu features delightful thatched villas, either dotted among palm trees in carefully planned tranquility or on stilts over the lagoon, with spectacular views of the sea and nearby desert islands.
I visited from the nearby Soneva Fushi resort in 2012. The rooms are simple and most do not have TV but offer easy access to beaches.
The food is very good.
The water is amongst the clearest of any resorts I visited in the Maldives.
The resort is home to 98 exquisite villas that either sit on the prefect white sands of the miniature island or stand in the coral banks for that true sense of escapism and abandonment. Because this is a Coco resort, expect the utmost in indulgence and luxury with everything from the finest cuisine to international standard diving for you to enjoy. Romanticism is alive and well here. This hotel offers an all-inclusive board basis, see special features for the all-inclusive package

NAVD: Warner Floats New VHS–DVD Rev-Share Plan14 Apr, 2003 By: Joan Villa
Independent retailers will soon be able to sign on to a combined VHS-DVD revenue-sharing output deal from Warner Home Video under terms similar to those offered to the large rental chains earlier this year. The plan was presented to three distributors — Ingram Entertainment, Baker & Taylor and Flash Distributors — at the National Association of Video Distributors confab held in Los Angeles April 6 to 8. Ingram, along with Sacramento, Calif.-based VPD, which did not attend the NAVD event, are reportedly interested in offering the program, confirmed a Warner source.The revenue-sharing plan is being termed a "modified" output deal because it allows shorter terms of "quarters rather than years," according to the executive. The terms will vary based on a film's box office gross, but the total cost of upfront fees and guarantees will be "significantly less" than the DVD's wholesale price if purchased outright."It has to be," said the source, if Warner is to realize its objective of signing up "in excess of 1,000 independent retailers." The studio will use Rentrak to audit the revenue-sharing component, but not to administer the program, he added.Warner is aggressively pushing output revenue-sharing as a way to boost sales of its secondary product. "We don't want retailers passing on our smaller titles," the Warner source said.As an added incentive, Warner is proposing liberal sell-off terms, something that in the past has been a sticking point for retailers considering revenue-sharing. Retailers can sell previously viewed Warner product after 28 days or when more than 50 percent of their inventory is sitting on rental shelves, the source said.Wholesalers like New York-based Flash will likely pass on the agreement because customers haven't expressed interest in revenue-sharing DVD, which they can own outright for $17 or $18 apiece, according to Flash president Steven Scavelli.But Todd Zaganiacz, president of 55-store New England Buying Group and owner of Video Zone in South Deerfield, Mass., said he expects to pursue the program based on the details he's received so far."For a store that's only 20 percent to 30 percent DVD, it's a great deal because it's going to drop VHS costs," he said. "In my case, part of my concern is if I sign a 1-year output deal for DVD and VHS, I don't know what my VHS numbers are going to be in six months. What if I'm at 80 percent or 90 percent DVD? What do I do with the VHS I'm required to bring in? That's something I'm going to have to assess."While Zaganiacz appreciates the 28-day sell-off terms and the added flexibility of selling off excess copies when 50 percent of his rental inventory remains on the shelf, he wonders how quickly that determination will be made through the Rentrak monitoring system and then authorized by Warner."The key right now with DVD is, previously viewed sales are a huge part of the business and for every day you miss a potential sale, it's a potential sale lost for the store," he said.Whether other independent retailers, like Doug Aita of Bozeman, Mont.-based Tape King, jump at the Warner deal may very well come down to whether a closer examination of the sell-off terms passes muster."We sell used immediately, and the rev-share deals don't come close to meeting my needs," Aita said. "MGM is the best of the bunch, and we have to wait for 30 days. Fox wants 60 days, [but] the title's dead in 60 days. If those are the kind of sell-off terms we're going to get with rev-share, it doesn't interest me."

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Amgen stock: 1. Cann analysts commented, "Amgen yesterday announced that the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published positive results from the six-month phase III STRIVE study evaluating Aimovig (erenumab) versus placebo for the prevention of episodic migraine (between four and 14 migraine days per month). The NEJM article reported that Aimovig delivered clinically meaningful and statistically significant differences from placebo for all primary and secondary endpoints in the study." (11/30/2017) 2. Argus analysts commented, "We would consider a more constructive stance on AMGN on signs of stronger contributions from the company's new drug pipeline or from its biosimilars portfolio," the firm said."We note, however, that Amgen may not generate commercial revenue from biosimilars until 2019 due to regulatory and legal hurdles." (11/1/2017) 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Amgen beat expectations for both earnings and sales in Q3 and raised its earnings guidance for 2017. However sales declined year over year. Meanwhile sales of key drug Repatha disappointed in the quarter. Amgen's newer drugs – Prolia, Xgeva, Vectibix and Sensipar – are performing well. Amgen is also progressing with its pipeline including biosimilar drugs. Amgen's shares have outperformed the industry this year so far. However, Amgen has some challenges in store, given the presence of biosimilar competition and slowdown in sales of mature drugs. Volume growth of new drugs may not be enough to offset the lost sales due to the decline in mature brands. While Neupogen is already facing U.S. biosimilar competition, Neulasta and Epogen could start facing the same next year. Also the softness in Enbrel sales due to stiff competitive pressure is a key cause for concern. Meanwhile, uptake of Repatha has been slow." (10/30/2017) 4. Mizuho analysts commented, "We are increasing our AMGN price target from $183 to $198 on the back of the biotech sector having re-rated somewhat post the GILD/KITE acquisition. We have not changed our estimates." (9/28/2017) Are investors shorting Amgen? Amgen saw a increase in short interest in the month of December.

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for company stocks using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations.

Yowza Smyrna Treadmill Review
Read Other Treadmills
The Yowza Smyrna
Alright, here we go for another Yowza Treadmill review. Hold on to your seat, you remember how exciting the last Yowza review was! These treadmill reviews sure have a way of helping you forget about your problems, and bringing you to a place of adventure and excitement don't they? I thought so.
Anyway, before I get too carried away. The Yowza Smyrna treadmill is the last Yowza treadmill that hasn't been reviewed. I've taken a fancy to Yowza lately, and it looks like now I've reviewed all their treadmills. This treadmill in particular is a non-folding treadmill and a sturdy one at that. It's priced right in the middle of the line-up at $1,399. Right now, today, there is a real sale on the Juno, Biscayne, and Siesta models. They're marked way down. The site says for just 1 day, but we'll see. A lot of these companies throw "Big One Day Sales" which turn out to be hardly sales at all. But this Yowza one today is legitimate as can be. The treadmills are marked down as much as $500 bucks. Check it out. The Juno is only $799 which is super super cheap.
Anyways, back to the Smyrna. The treadmill has a 3.0 CHP motor. Anything at or above 3.0 CHP is pretty safe, as long is it is quality enough to live up to its Horsepower. Some engines say they're up at 3 CHP, and when you run on them they get so revved up with their high RPMs that it feels like the engine is going to explode. So, if the HP is high, and the quality is high, and the noise is low, you can feel confident in your engine. Such is the case with this motor. It feels smooth, quiet, and strong. Yowza offers quality engines in their machines.
The Smyrna is a non-folding treadmill, generally making it more sturdy than folding models. The frame is strong, heavy, and welded, and covered by a lifetime warranty. So, you really won't need to worry about the motor or the frame, they should be fine.
The treadbelt is a strong heavy, multi-ply full-sized 20″ x 60″ belt, and slides quietly and smoothly on the deck. The deck is padded by two padded "multi-durometer elastomer rings" basically 2 black cushy things that allow the deck some give when you step. It works fairly well but can't be adjusted.
The console is a nice user-friendly, and visually appealing console. It has the 1 touch speed and incline controls on it, so you don't have to press up or down 100 times to change your speed or incline. The speed goes up to 11MPH, and the incline goes up to 12%. It also has a variety of fun and effective built in workouts that you can play around with. It has an Ipod dock, a fan, a hear rate receiver, and grip pulses.
Here's a list of specs:
- 3.0CHP Motor
- 300lb weight capacity
- 12% Incline
- 20″ x 60″ running belt
- Fan, Ipod dock, speakers
- Warranty: lifetime frame and motor, 5 year parts, 2 year labor
With the size and quality of the machine, the great warranty, and the features and functionality, this is a low priced treadmill. Yowza does a good job at delivering impressive treadmills. Whether it's just for yourself, your family, or everyone at work, this treadmill shouldn't have any problem with most size runners. It should be able to handle whatever you can give it for years without complaining.
