Dana Treat – Treat Yourself
Lavender-Honey Ice Cream
Posted July 23, 2010
½ cup good-flavored honey
¼ cup dried or fresh lavender flowers
1½ cups whole milk
¼ cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1½ cups heavy cream
5 large egg yolks
Heat the honey and 2 tablespoons of the lavender in a small saucepan. Once warm, remove from the heat and set aside to steep at room temperature for 1 hour.
Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Pour the cream in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top. Pour the lavender-infused honey into the cream through the strainer, pressing on the lavender flowers to extract as much flavor as possible, then discard the lavender and set the strainer back over the cream.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cream. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons lavender flowers and stir until cool over an ice bath.
Chill the mixture overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, before churning, strain the mixture, again pressing on the lavender flower to extract their flavor. Discard the flowers, the freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Monday, March 16, 2009
I think the fact that he had to wipe his copious tears with the back of his hand to put on his game face before he got out of the car at drop off should have tipped me off to the fact that he really wasn't feeling well.
I also should have known that even though I told him that if he didn't start to feel better soon that he could go to the nurse and have her call me, he would never in a million years do that. I was the same way. I would rather suffer in silence than call attention to myself.
Because I didn't hear from him all day, I assumed he was fine. After school, he got off the bus, walked straight over to me, and collapsed into my side, sobbing.
He was NOT fine.
"I want to go home right now. I don't feel good. I want to go home right now!" he cried. And then I had to walk home very slowly because he refused to release me from the death grip he had around my waist.
Many tiny, tiny steps later we entered the house and he fell on the couch. I took pity on the poor guy and canceled Jack's speech therapy and social skills group that usually falls on Mondays directly after school.
I DO have some words to say about the receptionist at our speech place. She's not too good with the phone and the transferring calls skills. Which, as the therapists do their own insurance billing, seems to be MOST OF HER JOB. I had to employ alternate means of cancellation. (You know, email.) /rant
Sam napped for two hours and woke up with a fever.
If you need me tomorrow, you know where to find me. Here. With a sick kid.
Plus? After volunteering in Jack's class this morning, then calling his teacher to interrogate her about what she thinks about his special ed services, she had to call me a half hour later to tell me that he fell on the playground and got a knot on his head.
The teacher has assumed the nurse called me. She was calling to see if I wanted to bring him dry pants because he fell in a wet spot. By the time we talked, Jack was happily eating the ice out his ice pack. Which sounds a lot like Jack.
We're best friends now, considering we call each other every 15 seconds, but don't you think the nurse might have called or sent a note home to let me know that Jack suffered a head injury? It seems important.
Oh, ALSO?! I had three chicken breasts sitting happily on the broiling pan on the counter waiting for the oven to heat up. And 15 minutes later I had ONE. And a suspiciously full-looking dog.
If I'm lucky, she'll barf it all up later.

Blerg is right. Nothing quite like a sick kid AND a soon to be sick dog to start your week off right.ReplyDelete
"blerg" — hope that's NOT the sound either Sam or the dog makes for you! Ick.ReplyDelete
Well, it *is* Monday so, you kow, shit happens, right. Then you step in it. ;-)

Oh no! Poor Team Stimey. Hope tomorrow is a better day. Hang in there.ReplyDelete
And so the week begins...ReplyDelete
Ack! Hope it turns around tomorrow.
so awful when the kid is REALLY sick and you don't catch it right away--hope he's better!ReplyDelete
Aww, sick boy, injured boy, and must be okay boy, but a possible nauseated dog. Yeah - it's Monday, that's when it happens.ReplyDelete
Hope Sam feels better and Jack is on the mend and Quinn - is simply Quinn!
Blerg is right! Poor Sam! And uh... I really hope you are not cleaning up dog puke.ReplyDelete
Wow! You poor things! The same thing happened to my salami the other day (a brand new 1/4 lb of salami)(damn dog!). E's school nurse and I are best buds since she calls me everytime the kid gets a hangnail or says "boo". You and me...we need a night out! I hope Sam feels better soon. Hang in there! (I hate Mondays too!!!)ReplyDelete
Poor Stimeys!ReplyDelete
Are you sure you picked up Sam and not Einey? That was almost exactlly what happened to me yesterday.ReplyDelete
Got to pick up time (with a tired, feverish preschooler who had been in school 1/2 the day then became lethargic), to pick up Meenie and Einey. Einey made it to the van and collapsed into a big pile of tears. She said she was "sad" all day but didn't know why. She had a 104 fever when we got home a few minutes later. When I asked why she didn't go to the nurse, she said she didn't think she was sick. I gave her motrin and she collapsed for awhile. Was feeling better by last night, but they are both still feverish today (and thus, staying home - JOY!). She is NOT very happy about missing school , she wanted perfect attendance again, but what can you do?
Hang in there today!
Just when I think I'm having a bad day - yours is worse! Sorry! I'm on day 2 of sick kid at home, but it's been very uneventful.ReplyDelete
hoping sam feela better and your dog doesn't barf.ReplyDelete
if you liked saramago's blindness, you should read the cave. it's his best, i think.
wow, that really sounds like a Monday. I hope today is better.ReplyDelete

You have earned a margarita. With real strawberries. Hope tomorrow is better.ReplyDelete
Wow, blerg does seem appropriate in this situation. Are you sure it wasn't Sam who ate the raw chicken and got sick? That would explain a lot. Oh, and one more post about chicken from Stimey. I'm definitely sensing a theme.ReplyDelete
Aw, poor Sam and his headache! Was he okay? ANd poor Jack and his knocked noggin... although I hope the ice pack was delicious!ReplyDelete
Holy crap - our school nurse calls us whether there's anything actually wrong or not, just to tell us that the kid walked through the door!!!! 'She lost a tooth, but she seems fine', as if it was akin to a BATTLE WOUND or something! If there was a lump, she'd probably have an EMT team come to the house with diagrams!ReplyDelete
Why is it that I'm more grossed out by the dog eating raw chicken than I am by their constant licking of their own (and other's) asses?!

By Frank Kimboy
Dar es Salaam - Parliament is staring at a serious credibility crisis as claims of bribery of several Members of Parliament unravelled in dramatic fashion yesterday.
Speaker Job Ndugai removed three parliamentary committee chairpersons and two vice chairpersons from their leadership roles on the day that reports emerged revealing that investigations had been launched into reports that members of the affected committees had solicited for bribes from state parastatals.
The Speaker also changed membership of some 27 MPs. While a statement from the National Assembly said the changes announced by Mr Ndugai were normal, insider reports linked the move to the investigation into the bribery scandal that could tarnish the image of the 11th Parliament that is barely five months into its life.
Yesterday, Kigoma Urban MP Zitto Kabwe (Act-Wazalendo) and Hussein Bashe of Nzega (CCM) resigned from the Social Services and Community Development Committee over the reports and urged the Speaker to order a sweeping investigation into the matter to save the face of Parliament by punishing those found guilty. Reports suggested more MPs would resign to push for thorough investigations.
Those who were removed as leaders include Ms Martha Mlata, who was the chairperson of Energy and Minerals parliamentary committee. She was transferred to Parliamentary Committee on Industry and Trade as an ordinary member.
Others removed are the chairperson of Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism, Ms Mary Mwanjelwa, who has been transferred to the Industry and Trade committee as well as Mr Richard Ndassa who was heading the Public Investment Committee (PIC). He was moved to the Constitutional Committee. The vice chairperson of the Local Authorities Accounts Committee (LAAC) Mr Kangi Lugola and his Social Services Committee counterpart Dr Raphael Chegeni were also kicked out. Media reports yesterday revealed that some parliamentary committee leaders were accused of soliciting and taking bribes from some public entities.
One of the removed chairperson was said to have obtained Sh8 million from the Energy and Water Regulatory Authority (Ewura). Agency's Information and Communication manager Titus Kaguo said yesterday he wasn't in position to comment as the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) was looking into the allegations.
"I am aware of the allegations but I can't comment because an investigation is ongoing," Mr Kaguo told The Citizen in a telephone interview. Ms Mlata, Mr Lugola and Ms Mwanjelwa have all refuted the bribery reports. Mr Chegeni hinted in an interview yesterday that more members of the blemished committees will resign and force an investigation to clear their image. "We will ask the Speaker to form a probe committee and summon the newspaper that revealed the scandal to table evidence or face prosecution," he said in an interview with Mwananchi yesterday. The MPs allegedly solicited and received the bribes from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), Ewura, National Housing Corporation (NHC) and the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).
Unconfirmed reports indicate that Mr Ndassa was summoned by PCCB for interrogation yesterday. In his resignation letter, Mr Kabwe called for the speaker to be bold in order to protect Parliament's image. "Speaker must send a strong message that the 11th parliament will have zero tolerance on corruption by inviting PCCB to investigate MPs," he said on his social media page.
Out of the 27 MPs who swapped committees, 13 were from the four committees which were linked to the corruption allegations. The 13 are Mr Ndassa and Mr Selemani Zedi (both from PIC).
Also in the list are four members of LAAC, who are Mr Lugola, Mr Victor Mambalaswa (both transferred to parliamentary committee on Foreign relations), Selemani Ahmed Sadick (transferred to social services and community development committee) and Mr Emmanuel Mwakasaka who has been transferred.
Others are two members of social services and community development committees Chegeni and Ms Margaret Sitta (Regional Administration and Local Authorities).
The list is completed by five members of the Land, Natural Resources and Tourism. They are Dr Mwanjelwa, Mr Sixtus Mapunda, Homoud Jumaa Regional Administration and Local Authorities, Mr Wilfred Lwakatare (energy and minerals) and Ms Boniface Getere (social services and community development committee).

Tonkin snub-nosed monkey
|Tonkin snub-nosed monkey[1]
|Scientific classification
R. avunculus
|Binomial name
|Rhinopithecus avunculus
(Dollman, 1912)
|Tonkin snub-nosed langur range
The Tonkin snub-nosed monkey or Dollman's snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus avunculus) is a slender-bodied arboreal Old World monkey, endemic to northern Vietnam. It is a black and white monkey with a pink nose and lips and blue patches around the eyes. It is found at altitudes of 200 to 1,200 m (700 to 3,900 ft) on fragmentary patches of forest on craggy limestone areas. First described in 1912, the monkey was rediscovered in 1990 but is exceedingly rare. In 2008, fewer than 250 individuals were thought to exist, and the species was the subject of intense conservation effort. The main threats faced by these monkeys are habitat loss and hunting, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated the species as "critically endangered".
The Tonkin snub-nosed monkey has a flattened face with a pink upturned nose, thickened pink lips and areas of blue skin around its eyes. The upper parts are black, the underparts creamy-white and there is an orange patch on the throat, particularly obvious in breeding males. The tail has a white tip. Its head-and-body length is 51 to 65 cm (20 to 26 in) and its tail 66 to 92 cm (26 to 36 in). Females weigh about 8 kg (18 lb) while males weigh 14 kg (31 lb). Juveniles are grey rather than black and lack the orange throat patch.[3]
The Tonkin snub-nosed monkey is diurnal and its diet consists of a range of leaves, fruits, flowers and seeds. It moves about the canopy in small groups.[3]
Recorded at elevations between 200 and 1,200 m, its distribution is currently restricted to small fragmented tropical evergreen forests associated with steep karst limestone hills and mountains. Five isolated extant populations have been identified since its rediscovery.[4] Despite being heralded as a flagship species and subsequently receiving international attention and conservation actions, the population trend is still declining; therefore causing it to be continuously listed as one of "The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates."[5][6] since the first global non-human primate biennial assessment began in 2001.
Habitat loss and hunting are some of the major causes for declines of naturally occurring populations of non-human primates, including the Tonkin Snub-nosed monkey. Decades of expanding human population and increasing demands for scarce agriculturally viable lands have led to the loss and fragmentation of the monkey's habitats. However, habitats of known Tonkin snub-nosed monkey populations were long lost and fragmented prior to their rediscovery. A pioneering study in 1993, in Na Hang Nature Reserve, obtained a population count of 72 individuals (estimated 80), and a subsequent study at the same site in 2005 obtained a population count of 17 individuals (estimated 22). Evidenced by both primary and secondary data, the population decline within that 13-year period can only be attributed to hunting activities.[4]
Sightings of the monkey have become increasingly rare. The primate was thought to be extinct until the 1990s, when a small population was discovered in Na Hang District in Tuyên Quang Province of Vietnam. Heavy poaching for food as well as the wildlife black market and the destruction of habitat are the main reasons why the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey is considered one of the planet's most critically endangered primate species[clarification needed]. By 2008, when a small population with three infants was discovered in a remote forest, fewer than 250 of the primates were thought to exist.[7] In December 2013, Fauna & Flora international released the result of a population survey conducted between September and October of that year in the Khau Ca Species and Habitat Conservation Area, Ha Giang province, Vietnam. The survey identified between 108-113 individuals alive in the conservation zone, nearly half of the standing estimate for world population and the highest number at the site since populations began to be monitored.[8] Researchers took this as an encouraging sign that conservation efforts were making an impact on the species' steeply declining numbers. The latest survey, as of November 2017, carried out by Fauna & Flora international in Khau Ca forest in April 2017 recorded at least 113-121 individuals making this area home to the largest known population of Tonkin snub-nosed monkey (Nguyen Van Truong, 2017).

Conduit Arts brings together 4 contemporary improvising musicians to present an evening of solo performances in the Conduit Arts space.
Each musician has actively pursued solo performance as a part of their practice, developing different techniques and philosophies in their approach to this form of performance.
Come along to Conduit Arts on Wednesday the 3rd of December and witness 4 of Melbourne's finest emerging improvisers confront this challenging medium.
Doors @ 8pm. $10 Entry
Oscar's solo work pulls from three main musical influences and a plethora of life influences. The abrasive extended techniques and harmonic applications of Stefano Scodanibbio and Mark Dresser are extremely prevalent, as is the rhythmic and tonal approach of Avishai Cohen. An appreciation of texture, and a love of repetition shape his sound.
Above all, Oscar aims to improvise with honesty and conviction – a pure expression of this moment, influenced by surroundings and experiences, channeled through raw sound.
James McLean is a drummer from Melbourne, working primarily in the fields of contemporary jazz and improvised music. He has worked with many musicians, including album releases and national tours with The Marc Hannaford Trio (2013 Bell & APRA award winners), Paul Williamson's 'Inside Out' and Lightly Toasted. In addition to this, the collectively-led trio All Talk – with guitarist Alistair Mclean and bassist Samuel Zerna – released their debut album A Shorthand of Sensation in 2014, primarily comprised of James' compositions.
James began performing solo in 2013, after a JUMP Mentoring grant saw him travel to Japan to study with percussionist/composer Phil Treloar. His solo practice deals with the intersections of composition and improvisation, by utilizing a series of predetermined musical devices that are re-worked and re-contextualised with each performance. Furthermore, James' recent focus has been on rhythmic cycles and unorthodox methods of movement on the drumset, the influence of which will be evident in this performance.
Mark Shepherd is a double bassist and electronic musician from Melbourne, Australia. Mark has collaborated with a wide range of Australian based musicians, particularly from the jazz and avant-garde music scenes. Mark has also established himself as a soloist having performed solo at venues and festivals in Australia and Europe.
Mark's unique approach to the double bass is a result of his interest in a broad range of music from around the world, including avant-guarde and experimental music, and in particular minimalistic music, both traditional and modern. These musical influences have led Mark to a pathway that seeks to transcend genre based music.
Mark's solo electronic work typically utilises sampler, analog synthesiser, percussion, analog effects, and is often drone based. Mark's solo double bass performances explore microntonal pitch, use space/silence and are occasionally accompanied by drones.
Josh Kelly is a young Melbourne-based saxophonist and improviser. In his solo work, Josh investigates the use of overtones and multi-phonics combined with various rhythmic groupings and cycles to create a unique textural world in which he improvises. Some major influences including Colin Stetson and Evan Parker are clearly evident, though Josh is generally pushing the solo saxophone conversation into a more rhythmic area, influenced by the Australian improvised music scene.

Two Lectures Cycles, Followed by Two Christmas Lectures Dornach, October 3–7
and December 12–20, 1914; Dornach, December 26 and Basel, December 27, 1914 (CW 156)
The first lectures expand on the idea of inner "reading" and "hearing" as the path to spiritual knowing. The spiritual world gives something and we, as spiritual researchers, receive and then read or interpret it. Spiritual knowledge is not a matter of will, desire, or intention on our part, but a gift from the spiritual world for which we must prepare ourselves by silencing our desires, emptying ourselves, and presenting ourselves in humility and devotion to the spiritual world. Then we become aware of the reality that the spiritual world is nowhere else but here, all around us; and if we dissolve the sense of being skin-bound, we can become open to it, reflect its images in our astral bodies, and then learn to read them by identification. Steiner describes this complex, subtle, existential and living process, in which ultimately we can become one with the universe, in a masterful way from which anyone who meditates, or wishes to begin to meditate, will gain a great deal.
The second lecture cycle, "How to Achieve Existence in the World of Ideas," deepens the themes developed in the first cycle, so that the two together provide a useful guide to the processes underlying meditation or learning to know the spiritual world. At the same time, because work was just beginning on the building that would become the Goetheanum, Steiner connects the esoteric principles of its design with the overall theme of the suprasensory human being in relation to meditation and spiritual knowing.
The volume closes with two wonderful lectures in celebration of Christmas. Here Steiner has a threefold emphasis: Christ, supraearthly, glorious, and divine, fully united with humanity and the Earth and born in each human heart. To celebrate Christmas truly means that we recognize all three of these as one in the spiritual world, in the earthly world, and in ourselves. Learn more

NEW Our Kordes Rose Collection
Now in its 5th generation, the Kordes family have been passionately propagating uniquely beautiful roses for 130 years. Located in Germany, its founder, then 22 year old Wilhelm Kordes could never have imagined his company's longevity and success. Wilhelm collected roses from around the world for propagation, hoping to produce beautiful new rose varieties for others to appreciate. He quickly became the leading rose developer of his time, and their reputation for beautiful, naturally healthy and disease resistant roses remains strong to this day.
Most Fragrant Roses
Rose gardening should go beyond visual beauty, and these roses offer wonderful fragrances. The sense of smell is our most powerful sense when it comes to triggering memories.
Best Roses for Beginners
Some roses are easier to grow than others. Here are our suggestions for first-time rose gardeners who want to enjoy the fragrance and beauty of their own rose garden
Hybrid Tea Roses
Hybrid Teas and Grandi floras have that classic rose form with heavy petal count 30-50. Flowers are single or in clusters atop long stems. Many varieties are fragrant and make great cut flowers. These roses require more care than most other varieties of roses. Flowers are usually produced in 6-7 week cycles.
Floribunda Roses
Profuse blooming roses with large clusters of blooms at any given time providing massive colorful, long-lasting displays in the garden. Easier to care for than Hybrid Teas.
David Austin Roses
Established in the '60s, this English company is family-owned and is celebrated worldwide for their roses. With over 200 introductions, they demand performance from their roses. All have wonderful fragrances and are generally considered large growing shrubs or short climbers. Every rose garden should include at least one David Austin rose.
Climbing Roses
Long arching canes that can climb or entwine fences, trellises, arbors or trail over walls. Blooms come in many forms and sizes.
Shrub Roses
Generally, they have a sprawling bushy habit, are easy to grow, and bear flowers all summer long. Considered a landscape rose, they can be incorporated into most any garden or setting.
Tree Roses
Tree roses are grafted to a standard trunk usually 18-36" tall. Great as focal points, in containers, or to bring a layered look to a flower garden.

Drawing Changes
There are two common methods of indicating
where a revision has changed a drawing that contains a
system diagram. The first is the cloud method, where each
change is enclosed by a hand-drawn cloud shape, as shown in
the illustration below - left. The second method involves
placing a circle (or triangle or other shape) with the
revision number next to each effected portion of the
drawing, as shown in the illustration below. The cloud
method indicates changes from the most recent revision only,
whereas the second method indicates all revisions to the
drawing because all of the previous revision circles remain
on the drawing.
The revision number and revision block are
especially useful in researching the evolution of a specific
system or component through the comparison of the various

text: I think this score is very underpreciated. I have listened to it and I think it deserves more credit that it has earned. To some it may not be James Horner's best but sometimes you need to think about how the score fits the film and not how good the score is. You could have a score that is not good but it fits a film perfectly. In my opinion there is more than just the sound to this score. There is an atmosphere and an ambiance that is being portrayed here and to me it makes a great forgotten score. Out of five stars I would still give it a four, even though most would probably give it a one or two.

When it comes to e- commerce software, businesses are spoilt for choice. Of course, not all content management system platforms are created equal, with some massively outperforming the competition. So, how are you supposed to choose? As a general rule, it pays to start by researching tried and tested solutions backed by positive testimonials. Read on for a brief overview of two of the most popular e-commerce platforms around – Magento and WordPress WooCommerce.
As the world's leading open source e-commerce web application, Magento is used by a 11.91% of all online retailers, including household brands such as The Athlete's Foot, Mont Blanc, Bendon, Gant and more. Intimidated? Don't be. As well as big name brands, Magento offers fantastic support for SMEs too.
Smart, powerful and ultra-secure, Magento is a feature-rich platform available as both a free open-source software solution, and as a paid enterprise version. Architecture is highly flexible which makes it great for growing SMEs. Magento developers place a heavy focus on scalability and customisation, which means merchants can create bespoke sites to suit their unique needs.
A potential downside for less tech-savvy users is that Magento tends to be a little harder to use than some of its counterparts. This means businesses often seek the help of e-commerce support services in order to maximise the benefits of Magento. However, it is worth noting that the recent release of Magento 2.0 included a number of updates to make the software more user-friendly and intuitive.
While Magento has been making waves since 2008, WooCommerce has only been around since 2011. Today it powers over 30% of all online stores, with businesses using the open source WordPress plugin toolkit to turn self-built sites into fully functional e-commerce stores.
For business owners who appreciate the simplicity of WordPress, the use of WooCommerce as an intuitive backend add-on is a great option. When budget is a concern and entrepreneurs want to have as much control over their stores as is possible, WooCommerce can be a cost effective solution.
That said, it isn't without its flaws. As a plug in WooCommerce simply doesn't offer the sophistication of a purpose-built content management system. This means customisation and scope are often compromised in favour of simplicity and ease of use. When standards slip, customer conversion rates can be catastrophically compromised. Plus, some more advanced features require additional payment, and free hosting is non-existent which can be an unexpected sting.

"The contract for supplies of the People's Liberation Army Air Force of China is being implemented, the first equipment was supplied last year. We shall complete the supplies of aircraft to China in two years," Shugaev told the Aviastroyeniye newspaper.
The Su-35 fighter is a 4++ generation aircraft employing technologies of the fifth generation, designed by the Sukhoi Aviation Holding Company, which belongs to Russia's United Aircraft Corporation. The first experimental Su-35 was first presented at Russia's MAKS-2007 air show and was later introduced to a foreign audience at the 2013 Paris Air Show.

MLB Sets Roster To Be Big In Japan With All-Star Tour, 2019 Season Opener
NYSJ Sports-Entertainment Business News Service
September 11, 2018: MLB and the MLB Players' Assn. have named the first group of players who will represent MLB in the 2018 All-Star Tour with Nippon Professional Baseball in November.
The seven-game tour is scheduled to open Nov. 8 with an exhibition against the Yomiuri Giants at the Toyko Dome, followed by three more games in Tokyo (Nov. 9-11), one game in the Mazda Zoom Zoom Stadium in Hiroshima (Nov. 13) and two games in the Nagoya Dome in Nagoyoa (Nov. 14-15).
MLB will also return to Japan next spring with a two-game 2019 Opening Series between the Oakland A's and Seattle Mariners in the Tokyo Dome.
"Major League Baseball is thrilled to return to Japan for the 2018 All-Star Tour this fall and for the 2019 Japan Opening Series next March," MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.
"The renewal of the All-Star Tour gives MLB and Nippon Professional Baseball an outstanding opportunity to continue a longstanding tradition that showcases the best of our game for our many fans across Japan, as well as build up excitement for the 2019 Opening Series between the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics.
This year's All-Star Tour will mark the 37th time Major Leaguers have toured Japan for exhibition games, a tradition that dates back to 1908.
The MLB team will be managed by Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly,
Players named to the roster include Yadier Molina (St. Louis Cardinals catcher), Eugenio Suarez (Cincinnati Reds third base), Christian Yelich (Milwaukee Brewers outfielder), Ronald Acuna Jr. (Atlanta Braves, outfielder), Rhys Hoskins and Carlos Santana (Philadelphia Phillies first base, infielder), Whit Merrifield (Kansas City Royals second baseman) and Chris Taylor ( Los Dodgers infielder/outfielder).
The remainder of the roster will be released in the coming weeks.
The 2019 Japan Opening Series, which will serve as A's home games, will represent the fifth time that MLB has opened its season in Tokyo. The last Opening Series in Tokyo was in 2012, when the A's and Mariners split two games.
"The Mariners have been closely tied to Japan since Nintendo purchased a majority of the team in 1992 and have had Japanese players on our roster every season since 1996," John Stanton, Mariners chairman and managing partner, said in a statement.
"It is an honor for our team to return for the Opening Series in 2019, and we look forward to this opportunity."
This will mark the eighth season-opener to be played internationally.
MLB has previously opened seasons in Monterrey, Mexico (1999); Tokyo (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012); San Juan, Puerto Rico (2001); and Sydney, Australia (2014). Overall, MLB said that more than one million fans have attended 19 MLB Opening Series games.
In the U.S, the 2019 season is scheduled to begin on March 28.
"The city of Tokyo offers a terrific backdrop for the Opening Series, and we look forward to once again bringing Major League games to the Japanese fans as we celebrate our shared love of baseball," said Manfred.
Beginning on Nov. 9, the games will be broadcast live on MLB Network.

Energy procurement is an ongoing cycle. It is critical that you procure energy at the right time so that you avoid paying for energy at premium rates. Like everything in the supply and demand model, there are best and worst times to enter into negotiations. If your job requirement is that you become the energy broker for your company, then take a deep breath and relax as we are about to make your job a little easier.
When Are the Best Times to Lock in a Price
The "best" price is subjective. In fact, the best pricing is dependent on several factors. Those include:
- The price you're currently paying for energy;
- What your business goals are;
- How the current state of the market will impact your business goals — you can't always time the market to lock in the lowest price.
The best time to lock in a price is when you don't need energy. Like everything in a supply and demand model, the best time is when demand is low. In some industries, those needs are predictable. During some times of the year, there is more energy available. The best time to lock in a price for energy is when there is too much energy available, and when there is not enough need for the energy that companies produce. That is not a constant, as energy prices are a fluctuation of both supply and demand. Understanding how the little things impact both supply and demand is one of the benefits of working with an experienced energy broker.
Your first goal is to understand what your baselines are. How much is your company currently paying for energy? How much energy will your company need for current projects and future goals? When does your current energy contract end?
Step 1: Set a baseline with the current rate you're paying. Your goal is to evaluate current costs so that you can try to get a lower price than the rate you're currently paying – look at 12-month intervals, but look at 6-month term – and odd month terms like 21 months – especially if there is more winter or summer
Step 2: Focus on primary goals. What are your current goals?
- To obtain lower costs,
- To develop a sustainable energy budget, and
- To understand how green energy consumption for your company needs to be.
Answering these questions helps you to identify baseline needs and the backbone of a process that allows you to efficiently and effectively evaluate energy needs both in the short and long term.
When Are the Worst Times to Lock in a Price?
The worst time to lock in energy prices is during peak consumption and when supplies are low. Those are always the most expensive times of year. However, there are factors that impact the situation more such as when your contract is ending, when you are scrambling to procure energy for the next phase of your business. Also, the price of energy is not constant throughout the day. Never lock in a price during the most expensive time of day. Do so when the price is at its lowest. That might be early morning, or after hours.
Identify pricing pitfalls by avoiding situations where:
- You have no options – never wait until the last minute to procure energy. If you are up against an expiring contract and passive about finding more, the cost of available energy will be exuberant.
- You have a default rate in a market that becomes deregulated. In this case, the cost of energy could and likely does, rise. A default rate is the standard energy rate that a utility applies to your company in a market that undergoes deregulation. Think about the California rolling blackouts and the deregulation of that market. Energy costs in that situation rose dramatically. Another example is the state of Texas where you might find yourself in a variable month-to-month rate which is driven by supply and demand. Chances are your rate will rise sharply.
- You are in the worst time of year. For most of the country, those times are summer and winter which cause demand to shoot upwards because of the extremes in weather.
- The term is too short. Never buy 1-month terms as the rate you pay can be high for the entire month.
- You are approaching a weekend or holiday. The reason is that there are fewer people, so there is less liquidity in the market. This causes small orders to have a big impact on pricing. With fewer people selling and buying, pricing is skewed. Thursdays are volatile when the gas storage report comes out – could be great (gas prices are low) or really bad (gas prices are high). This makes Thursdays a gamble.
The best and worst times to buy energy are highly subjective. This is one of the reasons that a commercial energy broker is such an impactful ally.
How Your Broker Guides You to Make the Best Timing Decision
An experienced broker is able to monitor all the changing elements and factors using their advanced technology. Their access to knowledge and understanding of it is a huge benefit to you as they share recommendations with you in a timely manner. Other benefits include:
- Monitoring all price components that make up electricity or natural gas prices on a daily basis.
- They take the time to look at different terms and products and figure out the true costs specific to your company, not the industry. They do so by comparing apples to apples, giving you the visual that shows the price components for ERCOT and PJM.
- Knowing your company's energy needs so that information is specific to you and your company rather than to the market or your industry. An experienced broker asks a lot of questions about your business so that they help you obtain the best product while mitigating the risk and exposure you face within the market.
- Looking at timing and product more than lowering the supplier's margin; a rate is $.04353, and the margin is $.005, and the energy cost per kWh is $.04303 / kWh. You gain better pricing by understanding the timing impacts to energy than you do when you focus only on the margin.
- A proactive approach to energy procurement. You never wait till last minute. Instead, an experienced broker helps you solve your energy procurement needs well in advance of when you need that energy.

My Goal: Become a front-end web developer.
My strategy is to teach myself front-end web development and create a portfolio.
Starting with HTML, CSS and Git.
As I'm learning, I'm figuring out what I areas I need to concentrate on more and also areas that aren't as important. For instance, I've noticed that I'm getting distracted with Treehouse Front-end Web Development track. I've found myself frustrated by how much time I'm spending on CSS in just memorizing selectors, attributes, and all the various properties. Most of them time I have to look up the names via Google because it's hard to recollect them all.
I'm also making my web pages overly complicated right now. So I'm starting back at square one and not playing around with too many properties.
So I'm going to jot in here what my learning goals are each week.
So much has happened since April! I started apprenticing as a front-end developer at ShareProgress in late May since I was getting bored of just taking classes on my own online.
I did try out Bloc mentorship, but they paused their course for 2 weeks in May since their curriculum was sorely lacking. It looked like they just threw up something quickly but didn't have anyone actually go through it as a newbie. Throughout, I never got a feeling that they really cared about my progression, but they saw me as just a money-paying beta tester. I heard that I was ahead of the pack, so I ended up being the guinea pig for their program.
I did talk to one of of their representatives earlier in June and they will refund me if I choose to not finish the program completely.
Anywho, I've been applying my HTML/CSS/JS/JQuery skills on-the-job as an apprentice which is better for me than an online mentorship program. I like the structure of having a full-day and full-week at work with colleagues and working on real projects. At first the work was unpaid but this month I was promoted to senior apprentice!
Thus far, I've worked on debugging some less than IE 9 issues, creating HTML/CSS pages, adding JQuery/JS/PHP to forms, getting data from Google CivicAPI, wrangling with WordPress(ugh), etc. It looks like I'm going to get a chance to build an API library next and I have another larger project starting in the next week.
Next week, I'm starting TechSF's Web Development Bootcamp which is 4 night and Saturday morning course that will last 3 months -- till September 26th. I hope the things I learn will be relevant and useful to my current work and to learning more full-stack development.
In the past week, I also got accepted into Hack Reactor, a very competitive bootcamp that takes a developer from 20-120 instead of the typical 0-60. I've been interviewing a lot of alums and asking employers of Hack Reactors students about their thoughts on the program. There have only been a few negative things heard, the students are probably the most effusive (but from talking to Dev Bootcamp alums, it seems like a similiar theme). Only people from General Assembly seemed less happy with their experience.
Hack Reactor is the most expensive program out there -- almost $18,000. Not including living in SF expenses! So, for now I'm fine with learning as a paid apprentice and taking night classes to make this work. I also hope that taking more time to learn more will put me in a better position when I start the program in September or October.
It's funny now looking at back at my entries just a few months ago. Most days, I feel frustrated at myself. I often compare myself to other programmers and probably have unrealistic expectations. But this Monday, I attended my first JS Algorithms Meetup at Hack Reactor where we working on The Matching Problem. Sure, it was frustrating accessing the data at first, but I was surprised that the guy next to me was just as lost, if not more. I was also surprised at how bad his code looked. It made me happy to see how much more I knew, and I had an inkling of growing confidence in myself when I had to explain the code to him and what we were doing. :)
When I walked around the room to glean some insights from other members, I was surprised at how many people also didn't know what they were doing either, but were crowded around more veteran coders learning. So, I ended up feeling not-so-bad even though initially I felt scared and intimidated since everyone looked so busy in their work, using whiteboards to outline algorithsm, etc. Phew!
I'm definitely feeling more comfortable in the command line, using Git, googling for help, being able to create websites in CSS/HTML and some JQuery. Most importantly, I'm getting more comfortable with failing or feeling like I'm way-over-my-head but still sticking through with a problem. I have a long long way to go, but I see it as a 10+ year project not just a year-long one. Of course, my goal is still to be a software engineer by the end of this year.
My Priorities This Week:
- HTML/CSS: Making some changes to the homepage redesign, getting new graphics
- Wordpress Integration: As much as I dislike Wordpress vs. Craft, I need to learn how to integrate my websites with WP since most consulting work involves this CRM system.
- Roots.io method: Reading
- WordPress Codex
- Javascript Library for Google Civic API: Creating a library to help us access the Google Civic API more easily for future projects
- Tic-Tac-Toe Game: I started working on this over the weekend, got the HTML/CSS/JQuery to work. Now working on the algorithms behind the game in JS. The biggest hurdle so far is finding matching arrays within arrays.
Starting back at HTML in Treehouse to double-check that I understand everything that's happening on the website. I initially skipped this section because the videos felt so slow and basic. But since I'm facing some issues with this site, I think it's good to refresh and learn best practices.
I've already seen some issues in my CSS where I placed the container class around the wrong blocks of content. I also need to pay attention to parent elements and specificity.
Today, I worked on using git version control, moving around boxes of content on this site, trying out alignment, transparencies and more. Still need to figure out an issue with the "Resource" section. Trying to add a border to it.
- CSS Box Model and Positioning: Play around with this more on this webpage
- Javascript: So far, I like learning Javascript with Codecademy, it's fun solving the problems in the exercises. I want to continue learning through games like "Code Combat." I also want to learn how to connect that learning to what I can actually do on my webpage too.
- Hosting Website: Purchasing hosting service from Digital Ocean or another service.
- Git: Getting more familiar with using git version control and publishing my changes there as well as on OCF's website. If there's a way to automate that, please let me know!
- Command line: Getting more comfortable with the Terminal and the shortcuts. Today, Corey taught me about Ctrl-A and Ctrl-K for deleting what's on my command line.

NEW DELHI — There is never a bad time to state a plain fact. Uber is a greater friend of urban women in India than the government ever was. Over the past several months, women have taken to the smartphone app with enthusiasm. They grade the drivers and convey to Uber their compliments — and their complaints about bad manners and body odor.
Many rate the Uber experience higher than sitting in their own chauffeur-driven cars because the relationship between the driver in front and the female employer in back is often filled with the chauffeur's melancholic stories about the health of his children, which lead to requests for loans and time off from work. And there is the issue of his judgmental gaze at her clothes and ways. Also, as he spends most of his day playing cards with other drivers, he passes on a considerable amount of information about his employer — information that is sometimes tapped by the neighbors.
Uber's drivers, on the other hand, are transient and have no incentive to whine. And, until Friday night, they were considered very safe. An Uber driver told me that they were considered so safe that boyfriends "could drink and dance with" their girlfriends "all night and didn't have to drop them home — they just put them in Uber."
All that changed on Friday night. A young woman in New Delhi has alleged that she was raped by an Uber driver. After her complaint, the police could not figure out how to contact a human from Uber until an officer downloaded the app and used it to hail a car. He asked the driver to take him to Uber's office. It would be hours before the police got any useful information. The man accused of rape was eventually detained. It turned out that he had been accused of the same crime at least twice before, but was acquitted in one case and granted bail in the other.
Most of Uber's cabs in India are run through third-party contractors who own and manage fleets of cars. They are required by Uber to check their drivers' backgrounds, a process that mostly involves procuring a certificate from the police stating that the person in question has no criminal record — a largely meaningless exercise because such certification is routinely obtained through bribes of less than $10. I spoke to several Uber drivers who said their "police verification" was bought in this manner. Some said their backgrounds were not checked at all.
The driver accused of rape had a police certificate that said he was "not involved in any criminal offense as per the records of" one police station in New Delhi. The police have said that the certificate was forged. Even if it were genuine it would not surprise anyone in India.
A rapist's best ally is the corrupt government official. The government may be complicit in this alleged crime, but it has pretended that the problem is an app. On Monday, the Delhi region's Transport Department banned Uber and its Indian clones and declared their operations in the National Capital Region illegal on various grounds. But I have been riding in Uber cabs since the ban was announced, and even as I write this column on Tuesday the cars are available. One driver showed me a text message on his mobile phone that he said was from Uber. The message asked him not to lose faith in the service "in these difficult times" and said Uber would continue to operate.
Uber is staying put, and by making it illicit, the government has probably relieved it of the pressure to ensure the safety of its users.
India's best-known economics writer, Swaminathan Anklesaria Aiyar, told me that Uber "is a company that does not have a moral compass, but it does serve the society."
For many years, until the recent arrival of radio cabs, taking a taxi or an auto-rickshaw in India was an act of accepting defeat. The customer was often cheated and the drivers were unruly. So in India, unlike in some American and European cities, Uber does not have to contend with nostalgia. It has been, in a way, a liberator.

October Observation #13 & #14/
Literal Integration
My observations are born from conversations with people I interact with at work, at home, at the coffee shop, on a run, in transit —Life. Most of them could be fleshed out into whole ass essays but ain't nobody got time for that.
Keep up.
Michelle and I visited with our great couple friends and soon to be neighbors in Harrisburg. The two observations below materialized from breaking bread, and drinking drank with them.Read More

When I first started the F45 challenge at the start of May, I was really good with my diet. I was very strict with myself, even to the point of cutting out fruit. However, since I had visitors in the last week of May I have really struggled to get back on track.
A few other things have also affected my healthy eating
- Ramadan hours at work- working as a teacher in Dubai my hours have been reduced to working 8am-2pm. Therefore have all this time left in the day where I sometimes eat through boredom! 😦
- Falling back into old patterns, rewarding myself with chocolate! This is something I really need to get out of the habit as, food should not be a reward! And also should not be rewarding myself everyday!
- Coming to the end of term, there are always lots of social engagements! End of year parties and celebrations, where it is hard to stay on track, with lots of food and alcohol!
- Spending time with friends who you won't see for the summer. Sounds like a stupid point, however, last night got together with friends and got a takeaway from Wagamamas, I got beef chilli ramen, so it wasn't the worst thing I could have got. Then I was saying to my friends shall we get some chocolate for afterwards, thankfully my friend Louise reined me in and said, this is not a cheat day! Haha so shamed me into being good but thank god she did!!
Despite all of this, I have however had lots of time to be working out, often doing 2 or more workouts a day. However, as I have titled this post, I cannot out-train a bad diet, so although I'm feeling stronger and fitter, my waistline is not improving! Term finishes at the end of this week (22nd June) so will be making a conscious effort to be sorting out my diet and not indulging too much till then!
