From playoff contenders to disaster
7/25/12 in MLB | MortonsLaw | 156 respect
Now even the most optimistic Mets' fan had to see the roster that was producing such a positive start. While the organization prides itself on home grown talent, most people would have a hard time identifying who some of the Mets are. Also, it was hard to imagine RA Dickey would continue putting up numbers comparable to all-time greats.
Did Santana sell his soul to the devil? I doubt anyone expected Santana to fall apart the way he did after the no-hitter. He's now on the DL, and if you know his history, it wouldn't shock most if he didn't pitch again this year.
The Mets were 6 games over .500 at the all-star break. Their biggest weakness was the bullpen. Fans and people within the media wondered if the front office would pull the trigger on necessary moves to make the team a legit contender for one of the wild cards. The front office opted not to trade away any pieces for bullpen help, and with today's loss the Mets are now 1-11 since the break.
The most perplexing thing about the Mets is that they continue to put Jason Bay in the lineup when he has been nothing short of awful for the last 2 years. We all know the Mets have money issues, but just admit it was a bad contract and eat the money. What would be more embarrassing: Bay selling popcorn or still trying to be a major league outfielder? Would the players' union have a problem with the Mets if they made him work concession stands?
How sick does it makes Mets' fans to know the Pirates and Nationals are both in better positions with less payroll? It's one thing to cry poverty--but another to have a higher payroll and be stuck with bad contracts.
Zack Wheeler better be the second coming of Tom Seaver or Nolan Ryan.

Defeater makes me want to break things.
So, this is an awesome Spotify playlist of 2011 built by me. Yeah.
'cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs, and those eyes.
Your legs & those eyes.
To book tickets for the Rock Sound tour or not…
Defeater. DEFEATER. DEFEATER.
Doubt there's anyway to get a press pass…
Something I've been meanin' to tell you,
About three years and a day.
I'd very much like to get married,
Maybe have kids and move away,
'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile,
Your legs and those eyes.
I will beg and steal and borrow
To keep you safe your whole life.

Good To Great CD: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Other's Don'tby James C. Collins
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Built To Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning.
But what about companies that are not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? Are there those that convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? If so, what are the distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?
Over five years, Jim Collins and his research team have analyzed the histories of 28 companies, discovering why some companies make the leap and others don't. The findings include:
About the Author
Jim Collins is a student and teacher of enduring great companies — how they grow, how they attain superior performance, and how good companies can become great companies. Having invested over a decade of research into the topic, Jim has co-authored three books, including the classic Built to Last,a fixture on the Business Weekbestseller list for more than five years, generating over 70 printings and translations into 16 languages. His work has been featured in Fortune, The Economist, Business Week, USA Today, Industry Week, Inc., Harvard Business Reviewand Fast Company.
Driven by a relentless curiosity, Jim began his research and teaching career on the faculty at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he received the Distinguished Teaching Award in 1992. In 1995, he founded a management laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, where he now conducts multi-year research projects and works with executives from the private, public, and social sectors.
Jim has served as a teacher to senior executives and CEOs at corporations that include: Starbucks Coffee, Merck, Patagonia, American General, W.L. Gore, and hundreds more. He has also worked with the non-corporate sector such as the Leadership Network of Churches, Johns Hopkins Medical School, the Boys &Girls Clubs of America and The Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Non-Profit Management.
Jim invests a significant portion of his energy in large-scale research projects — often five or more years in duration — to develop fundamental insights and then translate those findings into books, articles and lectures. He uses his management laboratory to work directly with executives and to develop practical tools for applying the concepts that flow from his research.
In addition, Jim is an avid rock climber and has made free ascents of the West Face of El Capitan and the East Face of Washington Column in Yosemite Valley.

Publisher's Description
As virtual modeling skills become an assumption in the market, students developing their careers need the best, most up-to-date and work-relevant tool to train with. Archicad is now FREE for architectural students worldwide. This is the full, latest version of Archicad - the building design tool you're likely to confront in your first workplace and thereafter.
Archicad 10 is the most powerful ever Virtual Building design software. It gives you more control over your design, while maintaining accuracy and efficiency in documentation. While you raise walls, lay floors, add doors and windows, build stairs and construct roofs this Building Information Modeling tool creates a central database of 3D model data. From this you can extract all the information needed to completely describe your design - complete plans, sections and elevations, architectural and construction details, bills of material, window/door/finish schedules, renderings, animations and virtual reality scenes. That means while you're designing, ArchiCAD is creating all the project documentation so there's little repetitive and tedious drafting work. And unlike designing in 2D software, the Virtual Building approach also means that you can make changes at any time maintaining the integrity of your documents, without risking costly errors or costing you productivity.
And - being open-standards and developed by architects for architects - it integrates with MaxonForm for you visionary organic models, and SketchUp for your simple conceptual 3D drawings.
Best the best - but get prepared - download Archicad for FREE!!!

Repaired a laptop over the weekend for a member of staff, and she asked me how much she owed me (question I hate) .
As well as having my job I am also self employed but I have never come up with a charge list for what I do. (Because Ive never actually used my self employment properly)
So basically the job I did Laptop screen wasn't working totally blank, take case off and cleaned inside of a little bit of dust and pushed all cables back in. Think when I finally got inside the laptop and got it fixed probably 20/30 mins work.
So what would you charge?

Carrie Underwood Supports Gay Marriage Based on Religious Beliefsby Free Britney at . Comments
Carrie Underwood is not alone in supporting gay marriage, but she's one of the few stars to say she does so because of her strong religious beliefs.
The "Jesus, Take the Wheel" singer, a devout Christian, told Britain's The Independent newspaper that for her, marriage equality is rooted in faith.
"As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, who you want to marry forever," she said.
"I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love."
Raised Baptist, Carrie recently switched to a non-denominational Christian congregation along with her husband, NHL player Mike Fisher.
You see a lot of religious objections to marriage equality, (like this hate-filled child), but Underwood said her faith inspired her to support gay marriage.
"Above all, God wanted us to love others," the Oklahoma-born CMT award winner said. "It's not about setting rules, or [saying] 'everyone has to be like me.'"
"No, we're all different," the 29-year-old continued. "That's what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other."
"It's not up to me to judge anybody."
She makes a point, doesn't she?

I think we all should love who we are and Know the consequences for loving who you want ,I'm Christian and I think that everyone should be treated equally without hate ,I don't think people should judge people ,Because No one is god and I believe he should be the only ultimate judge , Someone and my family is gay I will never be Hateful towards him or anyone else who's gay because it's his Choice , Jesus came to this earth with his love If you claim you're christian than you shoudn't be hateful towards anyone for how they choose to live you change people with love and kindness not hate and Cruelty .
We are supposed to love everybody and not judge as Christians/believer. But we also cannot mislead those who are disobeying God, and make it as if its right for them to live wrong. We can't judge, but we can't justify. Parents have to disipline their children so they know right from wrong. Not because they are judging, but because they are trying to protect them from something bad in the future. Its ok to tell someone when they are wrong, and still love them afterwards. But to flat out act like something wrong is right, we are not really showing we care, especially if an activity/sin is one that could cause them to lose their soul in hell, not because they are gay, but because they are disobeying God and rejecting God by living in rebellion. If a child disobeys their parent, that parent can disown them. And when people continuely sin and reject God, God has the right to disown them. And we are supposed to warn, but in love. And if a parent can warn and still love, so can we. No matter what, even when you are not trying to judge some people, they are going to say we are judging no matter what, just because they want to do what they want to do. But if we know a path could lead to enternal separation from God after these people die, we have to speak up. Otherwise we dont even need to talk about it at all. We just dont need to say we support or dont support. Because we cant be passive. The devil is out to steal, kill, and destroy souls. Nothing else. He does exist. And his job is to cause us to disobey and reject God through the lust of this world. We have to be lights, those of us who know better, to help save our brothers and sisters. Even if they dont want to hear the truth. We still have to say, what you are doing is wrong, and I dont agree with it, but I still love you and care about you. There is absolutly nothing wrong with that at all, and it is not judging, its called standing up for what we know is right without compromising our own faith and beliefs. We cant say we support what we really dont support. Because either we are for God, or enemies of God by being friends with the world and what the world stands for. There's not inbetween. That would be double-mindedness
Hmmm..in response to Heather...perhaps you need to read your bible a little closer...New testament talks about marriage being "between one man and one woman"...so it does address what "marriage" IS. It's not that homosexuals are being "judged" that is up to God. But their "views" on pushing their agenda's down Christian's throat and not respecting "the other side" is rude and disrespectful. They can do whatever they wish (and stand before God as we all do in the end). Life is a choice and Christians (which some of you have such distain for)is about the forgiveness of sins through the sacrifice of Jesus and his death for them. We are NOT perfect, just forgiven and yes, Bobd, and "sin no more", which means when you know you've done something wrong, ask for forgiveness and DON'T DO IT AGAIN. Prayer us what our entire COUNTRY NEEDS RON,
I agree with you. I think sometimes believers are afraid to correct people in error. Its not judging to confront something thats not right out of love. Our boss can come to us and tell us when we done something wrong, and so can parents, and that doesn't mean that they dont care or that they are judging just because they correct us. How can people know they are wrong if nobody says anything. Everybody isn't a believer or a Christian, and not everybody understand why some things are wrong. Sin isn't the issue, being gay isn't the issue, no bad thing is an issue. The issue with us not doing bad things, is the fact that those things have the potential of taking us away from God. When we sin or disobey God's commandments, we reject God. Eventhough we still love God, we still reject him everytime we do something he doesn't want us to do. And its not about doing wrong, its the fact that God doesn't want us to lose our souls and be separated from him. We have to tell people the truth. Ezekiel 33:6 says that the watchman is supposed to warn the people. Just because warn, that doesn't mean we are judging. And just because we dont agree, doesn't mean we dont love them. We can't want to please God and please people at the same time. We have to love them though. But we dont have to agree. Galatians 1:10 - For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
I am 45 years old and I lived 25 of those years in a gay relationships. I never thought I could change it, I was right but god can. I became a Christian, and prayed a lot for the lord to take it away . He gave me the grace to change. I have repented 5 years ago, and have not turned back. God tells us what sin is and if we love him we will obey him. Romans 1: 24-28 Wherefore god also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of god into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the creator. Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to undiscerning mind to do what is improper.......We should not hate the sinner but we should hate the sin and stand for what is right , Romans 1: 32 Although they know the just decree of God that all who practice such things deserve death, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.. My prayer is that people that are living in this sin will turn to our god and ask him to help you , you are loved by God and he wants you to love him, old things pass away, all things become new with our lord.....
Carrie you sang How Great Thou Art , the best I have ever had the privilege to hear, you have a voice straight from heaven..
Carrie underwood , Love you and your music, it is very inspirational..
Hey wat do u mean guy marige shuld be suported? De bible say if u want 2 be cold be cold nd if u want be hot be hot.by soporting their marige u r pretending 2 be a christien which u r not
Still love C. underwood....just some misguided faith.... God does say to love all and "the greatest of these is love" problem is God is not talking about sexual expression of love..In fact old and new testament alike condemn same sex marriage . Not God's plan, and in the greatest expression of His love toward us, gave his son as the atonement sacrifice for sin..all sin, adultry, and homosexuality. I can't presume to know the mind of God on this, except to say, He wouldn't have given sexual guidelines if it wasn't for our best.
Amused...You do amuse me. First of all, hetrosexualism is natural, Homosexualism isn't. Any anatomy book will tell you that. Second, You stated that gay marriage is not going to turn the whole world gay, granted yes, however, what is being done here is the fact that unnatural acts are being condoned and made offical to the world. Nature has a way of controlling the population, Nature has a tendency to find a way to correct an unnatural act. And God one day will have had enough and correct the problem himself. Either way Carrie as well as many other celebs are cashing in on the newest fad. Plain and simple.
I agree with Carrie but that doesn't mean i don't see what other people are saying. Its your own opinion and i cant change your mind. But imagine if it was the other way around where it was a "sin" to be heterosexual and the norm was to be gay what would you do and i for one don't see the big deal in letting them get married its not like its going to turn the whole world gay and they only want the same rights as a married couple everyone has a right to their own opinion so for all you people who think Carrie isn't Christan this is just her interpretation of the bible not yours so lay off
Another example of a celeb trying to increase their fanbase. That's all it is...A beautiful person has sank below her values to jump on the newest bandwagon. The bandwagon of homosexual marriage has allowed celebs to profit, which in other situations she would not. Take a look at all of what has currently happened (Carrie Underwood, Green Latern, etc.. These people have changed themselves to gain public support. That is what GREED will do to you.
What a colossal bunch of morons this thread represents. No wonder America falls further behind the rest of the civilized world every year. Clearly, the low salaries we pay educators have combined with the intellectual/moral deathgrip of evangelical Christians to produce a nation of fools, bigots, and mental midgets.
For all the people who think they are "Christians" you might want to go and re read your bibles. All if the statements made on homosexuality were in the old testament of the bible. If we are going to live by the word and follow all the laws of the bible, then I guess we better start sacrificing animals and our first born children for our sins. People have manipulated the original script of the bible from day one. The entire bible other than the words that Jesus himself spoke are nothing but opioionated statements and storytelling. You should all quit judging people and worry about yourselves and let people live their lives the way they want. Judge and ye shall be judged!
One can love the sinner and abhor the sin. Jesus loved the sinner and absolved them of their sins but, he also said, "go and sin no more." Jesus never glorified the sins of the sinners or made the sinners feel better about themselves by legitimizing their sin. Gay marriage does just that.

The SGT Peterson's Signs Have Stopped
EDIT: As of 10/20/2012, the SGT Peterson's Boot Camp signs have begun to reappear.
After my email exchange with Tim Peterson took a menacing tone, I thought it might be a good idea to get the press involved. You can find the Star Tribune article right here.
With Tim Peterson publicly stating that his company will stop putting up illegal signs (again), it seems like this one particular sign battle is over. And so, as the nice guy I am, I am taking down the below Google review.
Assuming he truly has stopped, then my "continues to" statement is inaccurate. Of course, if more illegally placed signs pop up, then the statement becomes true again.
But, really, I hope this is the end of this battle. Feel free to contact SGT Peterson's Boot Camp and take a class there. I have nothing against the business. I have something against illegal advertising practices. And since those practices have stopped, I don't have anything else to say.
As the article states, we have the right to pluck illegal advertising out of the ground and off of utility poles. Keep your neighborhoods beautiful. Be proud of where you live. I'll help out the best I can. You see, I get busy sometimes.
5 Responses to "The SGT Peterson's Signs Have Stopped"
I'm glad we're finally seeing results. I'm kinda surprised by the number of people who view your campaign negatively. "It isn't hurting anyone, and they can just throw the signs out if they don't want them on your property!" In response to those, my favorite among the comments was on July 30:
"I hope Peterson won't mind if I park my car in his driveway while I take a nap. I will always move eventually if the owner asks me."
You seem like a douche. I have a neighbor who call the city over stupid shit like this, for things like "having bushes too high". The guy puts up signs. You dont like the signs, citing city code. BFD. Minneapolis has way more problems then a guy putting up unauthorized signs.
I came across your site a while back and even emailed SGT Peterson at his blog about INTEGRITY, which is one of our Army Values he should know. Doing what is right when nobody is watching. I told him he should no better and it's basically comment sense, especially as a NCO (NonCommissioned Officer) in the ARMY that you do what is RIGHT not just some of the time, but ALL the time.
We lead by EXAMPLE for others to follow.
He is a business owner and should no better that putting up signs WITHOUT PERMISSION or operating in public parks without a license or permit or paying fees is ILLEGAL.
You see, I too was military. I'm a retired Army Sergeant First-Class (E-7) who runs a bootcamp and was a Army Master Fitness Trainer and have led thousands of troops.
We were taught and we tried to teach our subordinates the ARMY VALUES…which can be seen as an acronym below:
L – oyalty
D – uty
R – espect
S – elfless Service
H – onor
I – ntegrity
P – ersonal Courage
So, if SGT Peterson, who by the way according to his blog, has decided to go back to military recruiting, is still running his fitness business on the side, you should look into ILLEGAL PARK ACTIVITY in your city along with the ILLEGAL SIGN ACTIVITY.
Other fitness businesses around the country are operating in parks, schools, etc….before and after core hours (8am – 5pm) of local Code Enforcement.
This means, they are using public parks, schools, etc…ILLEGALLY….without a permit, license, etc…
Keep up the good work of stopping the illegal sign activity and when you have time, check your local parks at 6am or 6pm during the Spring, Summer, and Fall time frame and you will see not only SGT Peterson, but many other fitness bootcamp businesses operating illegally.
Thanks for the comments, all. I appreciate everyone's perspectives.
Great place to lose weight , make new friends and change your life.
I have lost 12LBS in 13 Visits. I'm 50+ years old and I'm in best shape in years. It's fast pace and good hard work.
The staff is graet and push you thru the work outs and a whole new you.

Recommendations for housewarming party
Fellow Chow-ers!
We are planning our housewarming party and I'm trying to come up with a solid list of food items.
I would expect maybe 30 people.
So far, my list is:
Homemade tzatziki and hummus with pita chips
Phyllo cups with pesto, roasted tomatoes, and fresh mozz
Bruschetta with Ricotta, Honey and Lemon Zest
Fig and Blue Cheese Savouries
Cheese plate with condiments (quince paste, nuts, crackers)
sundried tomato pesto pinwheels
salted peanut butter fudge brownies
fruit kabobs
White wine sangria
spritzers (maybe seltzer with peach nectar with floating raspberries and mint)
(wine, beer, soda)
I'd love to hear recommendations for other quick or make-ahead options for finger foods (sweet and savory) for the housewarming party. No shellfish or pork, but I'm open to other things!
Thanks for any help!
re: pikawicca
Put the nuts in wine glasses so it forces people to pour them into their hands. I just think it is better than not really knowing where their hand have been and having them in a community bowl but I am all for nuts all around to help avoid a bottle neck and encourage multiple conversations around the room( s ).
re: suzigirl
I've read that before and it's an excellent idea!!!
re: sandylc
Thank you. I like olives in rocks glasses with tooth picks. Doesn't end the pickers but it helps. And it isn't hard to refill now and again or if you have enough back up glasses, just replace them.
re: suzigirl
yes, I'll get toothpicks for the olives, but probably won't have nuts around except as a garnish on the cheese plate (some marcona almonds or something). They always get left largely uneaten whenever I have them at functions for some reason!
re: Jeserf
Apparently your prepared food is better than store bought nuts. Take it as a compliment. Beside, nuts are expensive lately. :-)
re: chinaplate
Yeah, with the hummus and tzatziki, I'll probably add veggies - are there any atypical veggies that you recommend beyond carrots/celery/bell peppers that I might not be thinking of?
I'd love some finger-food dessert recommendations, too - those brownies I make are amazing, but they are hard to cut small for finger food.
re: Jeserf
There is jicama, cucumber (english where you can use a peeler/grater for the skin for a decorate pattern), radishes, sugar snap peas, cherry/grape tomatoes.
What if you cake those brownies in muffin or mini-muffin tins? Then you won't have to cut and it'll be pretty and decorative. What about another dessert--citrus or summer fruit based? It could be as simple as lemon cookies.
What about some kind of salmon mousse? And, meat? Maybe meatballs or thinly sliced london broil or something else that works well at room temp?
BTW, could you share your recipe for the brownies?
re: chowser
Here's the recipe I use:
I cheat, though - I used boxed brownie mix! I make them earlier in the day, and I make them in a disposable pan because, when finished, they are a little difficult to cut so I use my sharp scraper that usually cuts the disposable pan! I've never had someone NOT like these brownies - they are delicious.
That said, how would you make them in a muffin tin? I'm very curious as to how that might work...
re: Jeserf
That sounds good--I love the peanut butter frosting on it. Just use muffin cups and line the muffin tips (or use the foil ones that don't need the tins). Bake for less time--I'd start checking about 15-20 mins and keep an eye on them.
I'd put the buttercream in a pastry bag (a zip lock bag would work, jut fill and clip a corner) and squeeze onto the brownie. I'd probably just drizzle the chocolate ganache, or I'd put that on top first and then top w/ the frosting.
The key to cutting gooey brownies is to wash the knife often. But, I like them in muffin tins because it's almost all chewy edge then. Another cheat would be to freeze them first. Cut the lines barely into the chocolate ganache, then all the way through.
re: chowser
hm, this is a great idea - they aren't gooey, they just are hard to cut - the ganache hardens and they can easily fall apart. The muffin tin version might eliminate that!
They are amazing brownies, though!
re: Jeserf
jicama, sugar snap peas, cucumber sticks, blanched asparagus,endive, baby tomatoes,green onions, zucchini
re: Jeserf
I like blanched cauliflower, broccoli, beans.
re: Jeserf
Chocolate dipped strawberries are easy and make for a nice presentation.
re: letsindulge
oh, good call - I used to make them all the time
jicama is great. people really like it.
cucumber slices and radishes too.
for dessert: lemon bars, nut cups (I'd do a mix of cashews, white chips, twice as many dark chips, and dried cherries.
As someone who is lactose intolerant, the first thing that stood out to me was that almost every item has cheese in it, or a form of dairy (tzatziki, fresh mozz, ricotta, blue cheese, cheese plate). Also, are you vegetarian? I know you said no shellfish or pork, but there's no meat anywhere. How about sliced roast beef on small slices of bread with a horseradish sauce? Or grilled chicken skewers with a dipping sauce.
re: boogiebaby
no one on our invite list is vegan or lactose intolerant (I know who is invited), but do you have a recommendation for a non-cheese based item you look for?
We personally are vegetarian and my husband, who is more religious than I am, prefers not to have pork or shellfish in the house.
Is there anything I can do with salmon to entertain a crowd that isn't very expensive? I was thinking mini blinis with smoked salmon, but the mini blinis at Wegmans are like $10 a container
re: Jeserf
Blini are easy to make but time consuming and you really should make and serve them right away. Instead you could poach whole salmon the day before, keep it in the poaching liquid and plate the day of. Take the skin off, brush little mayo on top, and decorate with very thinly sliced cucumbers to resemble fish scales. Make a simple sauce - fage, dill, garlic and a bit of salt and let people slice a piece of salmon, take a spoonfull of the sauce. Once the top side is consumed, simply flip it without decorating the other side. It is very summery and beautiful on the table.
Here is a recipe from the web and there are many more: http://www.chefdecuisine.com/seafood/...
If you do not have fish poacher, use deep roasting pan - the salmon needs to be submerged, so, anything big enough will work.
re: Jeserf
I live in a spot that knows its smoked salmon (Nova Scotia). A common way to serve it here is on a platter with some baguette slices and slices red onion for people to assemble on their own, often with cream cheese. You could also Pre-assemble for your guests.
re: CanadaGirl
That's an excellent suggestion, CanadaGirl! I usually serve on rye and add capers on the side. But I love your baguette idea - next time will do that. I do not buy smoked often but make gravlax frequently - would be lovely on baguette too.
However, smoked salmon for 30 will be expensive. On the other hand, the whole poached salmon will feel substantial and cost maybe 30% of the cost of smoked. Just saying...
re: herby
Poached is good too. I sometimes forget that smoked salmon is a lot cheaper here than most places.
Edit: rather than poaching, try broiling the salmon. I like to brush a side of salmon with maple syrup and then broil it. A bit of brown sugar rubbed on top is almost as good. By the time the top is browned and crusty, the salmon will be perfectly cooked. Just be sure to line the pan with foil, or it will never be clean.
re: Novelli
It all looks so good! I agree with the vegie tray recommendations, and I'd also add a big pitcher of water.
re: SAHCook
Oh, yes - we'll have some water! That doesn't take any planning, though, fortunately
Never underestimate the appeal of devilled eggs. And the Cooks Illustrated method of roasting eye round beef results in the perfect cold roast beef the next day: nice and pink and very lean. You could make that the day before and serve it sliced as thin as you can (much easier when it's cold) on slider or other small rolls and an assortment of mayo, mustard, horseradish and BBQ sauce for anointing. Maybe a sprig of arugula or watercress tucked in. Sorry, can't help with dessert, no sweet tooth. Happy new home!!
re: GretchenS
Thanks! I've made grilled skirt steak with chimichurri before - I've never eaten it, but have gotten good reviews. Do you think that would be OK if I make it an hour before and leave it out unsliced? Would it be something you do as a slider or taco, or just on a platter?
(It's been a while since I've made it since I don't eat it, but I know how to!)
re: Jeserf
Leaving it out that length will be fine, IMO
re: Jeserf
As a former vegaterian, current omnivoir I think the steak and chimi sound perfect. No real need to add slider buns or tacos as they may get soggy prepared to far in advance or add time and valuable table space for the food and guests. Go with just dressed meat or meat and guests dress it themselves. What meateater can't get behind a good piece of skirt steak?
re: Jeserf
I did not realize that you were a vegetarian when I suggested the beef, Jeserf, although I probably should have from your initial post. I actually think you should serve what you are comfortable eating, I never expect my vegetarian friends to serve me meat. Although sometimes if they know they have really carnivorous friends coming to a party they might ask me if I will bring a meat thing, which I am more than happy to do (they would do the same for me, I know).
re: GretchenS
Oh, I'm definitely OK serving meat - I actually think it's an inexpensive option in that you can feed a lot of people in one step!
I can get a plate with arugula, slice the steak, and have the bowl of chimi on the side. I've gotten raves on it before (I marinate the steak in Italian dressing for about an hour, then grill or broil it). I was thinking satay, but honestly this is MUCH easier than skewers that can be overcooked really easily.
SO! The revised menu!
Homemade tzatziki and hummus with pita chips and a variety of fresh veggies
Phyllo cups with pesto, roasted tomatoes, and fresh mozz
Bruschetta with Ricotta, Honey and Lemon Zest
Fig and Blue Cheese Savouries
Cheese plate with condiments (quince paste, marcona almonds, crackers)
sundried tomato pesto pinwheels
Grilled skirt steak, sliced, with chimichuri on the side
Dates stuffed with goat cheese and pistachios (recipe from yum sugar)
salted peanut butter fudge brownie bites
chocolate covered strawberries
White wine sangria
spritzers (maybe seltzer with peach nectar with floating raspberries and mint)
(wine, beer, soda, water)
any input, again, still appreciated! I was thinking of also saying "bring dessert" to increase the variety? I'm not much of a baker
re: Jeserf
Your desserts look good, but I liked the fruit kebabs on your original idea. Maybe bring back some plain fruit, as I find many people appreciate a bit of fresh fruit when finished eating. whatever looks good at the store.
re: Jeserf
I have a revision, but not for the menu... the invitation list needs to include me!
re: Jeserf
i think this was mentioned up-thread, but you are serving an awful lot of cheesy/dairy-laden food. it's heavy and just a few pieces really deaden the palate. you've also got a LOT of little bites planned, which can be very time-consuming to assemble. instead of 5 "bites", maybe just 3? i'd do either the fig or the date, not both. you've got 2 pesto items, and i'm sorry, but anything that has both sun-dried tomato and pesto screams 1980s to me.
maybe a platter of roasted or marinated/pickled veg? can be made or purchased.
i think the steak addition is good, so what about a side of poached salmon? this can be made ahead and makes a nice presentation.
agree about keeping some fresh fruit for the end of the meal.
re: Jeserf
Is your head spinning w/ all the suggestions? You've made some good changes. I agree that fresh fruit would be better than chocolate raspberries, especially since your other dessert is chocolate. If a guest is a baker and asks to bring something dessert would be fine but you have a good menu w/out everyone bringing something. Also, you could move the cheese platter to the dessert table--it'll go well w/ the fruit and some people prefer it to sweets.
And, that is a lot of different foods. You could get rid of the phyllo cups and change the bruschetta to the traditional w/ tomatoes and basil for something lighter. That way, you don't have double pesto/tomato combos. That would be lighter w/out the cheese. It'll also cut back on the starch based bites. I also agree about the fig/blue cheese and dates/goat cheese, along with the cheese platter is heavy.
I love dessert, and baking, but don't like chocolate. Two chocolate desserts would bum me out. How about mini cheesecakes (so easy) with fresh fruit and a squirt of whipped cream. Or I agree bring back the fruit kabob. Oh, and if you invited me, I'd be happy to bring dessert. ;)
Thanks all for the input!
Homemade tzatziki and hummus with pita chips and a variety of fresh veggies
Tortilla chips with two salsas - regular and mango jicama
Phyllo cups with pesto, roasted tomatoes, and fresh mozz (these are REALLY easy to make ahead of time and are good at room temperature)
Bruschetta with Ricotta, Honey and Lemon Zest
Bruschetta with fresh tomato, basil, balsamic drizzle
Fig and Blue Cheese Savouries (like thumbprint crackers)
Cheese plate with condiments (quince paste, marcona almonds, crackers)
Grilled skirt steak, sliced, with chimichuri on the side
Grilled vegetables with chimichuri
salted peanut butter fudge brownie bites
fresh fruit kabobs
Ask guests to bring desserts if they'd like
re: Jeserf
i'd skip the tzatziki and just do hummus. or white bean dip. (not a fan of tahini, personally.)
you don't need the chips and salsa.
you like the phyllo cups, so keep them.
you don't need 2 kinds of bruschetta, --the tomato/basil one is another 80s throwback that you don't need.
2 or 3 bite-sized items, with the cheese platter, veggie platter and skirt steak is plenty. it's much easier to replenish a few platters than fussing over lots of little things.
re: hotoynoodle
If something is good, does it matter if it's a throwback to the 80's? I like bruschetta w/ tomatoes in the summer because you can't beat fresh tomatoes with minimal prep in season and it's much lighter than the other bruschetta. And, it reduces the dishes with cheese. For the same reason, I like tzatziki because it's nice and cool in the summer, plus you can use fresh seasonal cucumbers. I'd probably get rid of the hummus before I got rid of the tzatziki. I love vegetables w/ it.
I agree the salsa and chips are unnecessary.
The other question is what time is the house warming? Will it be meal time?
re: chowser
I was thinking chips/salsa because it's easy and those who think dairy is too heavy can munch on fresh veggie salsa (I make my own mango jicama), but I can toss it.
I was thinking two kinds of bruschetta because one with cheese, one without. We have a roof deck, and I was thinking a lot of these things hold up well if people want to take a plate of food and sit outside for a bit.
I don't really like hummus, either, chowser :) (but it's SUPER cheap and easy to make, I don't add tahini to it either).
I was thinking of having people over starting at 6 simply because we live in an area with a lot of bars/nightlife and people can head out to party if they want, and it'll still be light out to enjoy the sunset on the roof if people want. And "80s food" doesn't bother me, much of the above listed (like the Palmiers/pinwheels, phyllo cups) are some of the first to go at our annual office pot luck, so it doesn't bother me :)
And I won't add a poached side of salmon because it's very expensive and I don't eat fish, so I wouldn't know if it was good (it's a lot easier to make steak decently).
(However, my mom is recommending that we do this on a sunday afternoon and do brunch-type food. I am not sold since people have a lot to get done on Sundays).
re: chowser
Agreed. Classics don't start out that way. They get there because people keep making and eating them long after they cease to be trendy.
re: hotoynoodle
I don't want to be snotty, but it isn't your party. Take a step back and jeserf enjoy the party, the friends, the food and the new house. I would eat myself silly at this party.
re: suzigirl
I think it sounds great, too!
re: suzigirl
gee, the op is asking for advice. i offered suggestions to make prep and party-planning easier. plus not everybody wants to only eat cheese and starch all night.
re: hotoynoodle
thanks for the input, all - I've added the grilled veggies with the steak and I'll add a variety of veggies to dip.
A lot of the ingredients will come from the farmers markets I live near, so I don't think it will be as heavy as people might be imagining - homemade pesto = less oil, homemade hummus without tahini (so, chickpea dip, I guess!), and local cheese.
I might add watermelon, feta, and olive skewers but every time I've made a watermelon dish, it seems to sit there. I make a fantastic gazpacho, and I could add gazpacho shooters, but tiny cups are expensive and prepping all those cucumber cups is a pain. I was also thinking mini fritatas, some with Serrano ham on top and some without (because apparently people need meat at a party? lol).
thanks, all - it should work out:)
re: Jeserf
It all sounds wonderful!
Would you share your gazpacho recipe?
Thanks, and congratulations on your new home!
re: AnneMarieDear
sure! It's my go-to Weight Watchers recipe :) the measurements are not exact, and it's more a technique than anything else
1 large english cucumber
1 large vidalia onion
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell (or orange/yellow or a mix)
2 serrano peppera (or jalapeno for more mild)
1 jar of low-sodium tomato (or vegetable) juice
salt/pepper to taste
in a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 onion, all green pepper and one whole serrano. Add some tomato juice to combine, but not all of the juice. In a large storage container, pour the remainder of the juice and the blended mix of veggies and juice. With the remainder vegetables, dice/chop (depending on your preference for size of vegetables) and stir in the large container. I happen to remove the seeds from the serrano that I use diced simply because the seeds aren't pleasing (but I keep them in when I blend it for the heat). Salt and pepper to taste.
If you let it sit in the fridge overnight, it's best. Also great served in chilled bowls with some avocado and fresh sprinkle of salt.
It lasts a week in the fridge and is DEEElicious
re: Jeserf
Thank you, Jeserf! It sounds delicious. I'll make it after my weekend trip to the farmers market. I love that it lasts in the fridge so long, too.
Thanks, again!
re: Jeserf
This thread has taught me never to ask for recommendations on a menu. Jk, but still. And you're correct Jeserf, in a crowd, a lot of people will be looking for meat dishes at a party, and will respond voraciously to them. Your party sounds great, and your guests are lucky to have such a conscientious and innovative host.
re: charlesbois
I get that meat is popular, but if you're going to a party at a vegetarian' house, it's not like they assume they'll get meat. But since I've done that one recipe before, I'll do it, no problemo.
re: Jeserf
My honest thought is that you're putting so thought and energy into this and considering your friends that no matter what you decide, it'll turn out great. Your menu sounds wonderful. At this point, I'd probably start thinking logistically on where you're going to store it all, when you'll make it, how you'll replenish and that might help w/ fine tuning. I have no problems w/ 80's food either--I love watermelon and feta and mini-quiches. But, I think you can make yourself crazy w/ what you can add. Stop w/ what you have and work with that and cut back, if necessary but don't add more (or, come up w/ a list of things to do for future parties).
re: hotoynoodle
Try telling Italians that tomato/basil bruschetta is an "80s throwback." This is an Italian classic, with good reason -- it tastes great.
re: pikawicca
i'm sure the party will be very fun and it sounds like the op likes to entertain. i'd still consider streamlining the menu to keep prep and replenishing tasks that much easier. less fussing over many little items and more time with friends.
re: Jeserf
I think it looks good. There are a variety and I think everyone will be pleased with at least a few items. Me, I'd be happy with them all !!
Enjoy :-)
re: Jeserf
You have about 12 items on your first course....you have a meal that requires a knife and fork, not just a toothpick and napkin....do you have enough seating for everyone?...will this take place outside of the house? are all your floors carpeted?...when people use a knife and fork, they need to place the plate on a soild surface. the menu sounds delish, and you are serving alcohol as well...try to adjust the quanities to about 15 to 18 pounds of total food....that is just slightly more than 1 1/2 pounds of each item....ie; you don't need a 5 lb cheese plater...and about 1/2 pound of food per person.... from the above you are serving very tasty and rich food.....also try to control any alcohol...30 people in your new home is quite a bunch....
One more idea....when we go to a house warming party, and we know the people like to entertain, we always try to bring a nice serving plate or table cover that can be used for special occasions.....I don't think you have to ask anyone to bring any deserts....(if 5 of your guests show up with 2 pounds of cookies each.....you are going to have open up your buttons to make room!) Sounds like you really have all under control.
re: PHREDDY
Thanks for the input - there's no seated meal (the steak will be help yourself, I'll carve it and put it on a platter), and I don't expect 30 people at once - It will probably be 20 at a time, with people coming and going given where we live), and I'll have decent seating plus we have the outdoor deck. I don't anticipate the need for significant knife and fork action, and we have hardwood floors.
I was going to plan on 1 1/2 of each item per RSVP'd guest, with a few items in the dining room and a few on the kitchen bar.
Good point about the dessert, but then people show up with wine and we don't drink!
(I won't have too much alcohol- our circle isn't full of heavy drinkers, so it'll just be a few bottles of wine and a mixed drink that I pre-make or two in a pitcher).
However, we're friends with eaters. And too few desserts might go noticed! lol
I can buy some mini-desserts at Trader Joes which tend to freeze well if there are leftovers, that isn't a problem at all!
re: Jeserf
Sounds like a plan....the mini desserts sound good....what we like to sometimes do is serve ice cream pops!.....(they can be eaten without utensils)....everyone usually says..."you didn't"...but they work, and with two or three different flavors you should address all of the palates....of course the leftovers freeze nicely and never go to waste in out castle!
re: PHREDDY
I had THOUGHT about just making an ice cream sundae bar, which I've done before for a summer-time party but I think we're inviting too many people for that. I've done it before for 10 people or less and it worked well and was a hit (and SUPER easy to put together)
re: Jeserf
Actually an ice SCREAM bar would work well in this scenario....probably as you know, people love ice cream....even if it is 30 persons...you will score big time....and by the way...it is all about the toppings...not so much about the ice cream.....i find M&Ms and Oreos are the most popular.....what have you found?
re: PHREDDY
butterscotch/caramel, brownie bits, Oreos and M&Ms for sure.
It would be hard to not have the ice cream melt all over everything, but we'll see!
Maybe the invite could be for an ice cream social! :)
re: Jeserf
A soft serve machine would be really fun.
re: chowser
you're welcome to buy me one! :)
re: Jeserf
Just let me know...I once worked in a Baskin & Robbins...
Pinterest.com is a great place to get ideas...visual sensory overload
Great ideas from all..I would add dates wrapped in turkey bacon..mini peppers halved with a goat cheese and dill..goat cheese with halved cherry tomt on toasted baquette..
Costco is your friend and they make this delicious artichoke, jalapeno dip for around $7 big ol' tub of it and it is a huge hit at parties..pretzel crackers, pita chips, baquette.
Have fun!
I'd put out a big bowl of fried cauliflower and ranch dressing:
but that's just me.
I'd suggest maybe adding a nice hearty (but still light and summery) caponata, too. Has that "meaty" look, which might balance the colors and textures you already have, and is finger-food friendly with crackers or bread rounds. There's a good simple recipe at epicurious (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...). Sounds like a great party!

Hot or Not: Hello Kitty Maternity Hospital
In a country where cute reigns king, it could easily argued that the queen of cute is Hello Kitty. Why not welcome your child into the world being greeted by a mouthless cat?
"The 30-bed Hau Sheng Hospital in Yuanlin in central Taiwan claims to be the only institution of its kind authorized by the popular cartoon cat's parent company Sanrio Co Ltd.
Newborns get everything Hello Kitty but a set of whiskers, including pink or blue receiving blankets, nurses dressed in pink uniforms with cat-themed aprons, cot linen and room decor."

creppy awesome
and by creppy i mean creepy. lol
I think this is hilarious. I love Hello Kitty, but I think this might even be too much for me. Even though I think boys can play with dolls and all that I would feel awful if I had my son in the pinker-than-pink Hello Kitty Hospital.
oh no no no no.
Wow...my Hello Kitty loving much younger sister would love this, but this just feels like you're giving birth in an ad for Hello Kitty and/or a tweener's bedroom. Way too commercial for me and kind of weird - becoming a mom shouldn't involve regressing into a kid yourself at the hospital.
Too commercial, I think. I mean, it's kinda cute, in a creepy way, but no. Plus, the thought of those hello kitty sheets covered in blood and other bodily fluids just seems a bit wrong....
I was and forever will be a Hello Kitty fan, so I could hardly find this setup offensive, but I do wish there were more color variation. It would not hurt to have more yellow, green, and blue around.
"becoming a mom shouldn't involve regressing into a kid yourself at the hospital."
Yeah, and when it effin' hurts in active labor, guess what? I'm swearing like a sailor and acting like a kid.
pink or not pink, what's most awful is all these babies so alone, where are their mothers? why are they kept away like this? Thought this was a practice from the past, but can see that is still in vogue...
Oh, that is both so wrong, and so excellent. Creepy awesome, indeed!
no offense belel, but i put my newborn in the nursery the first night she was born and had the nurses bring her to me for nursing. being in labor for over 40 hours, i really needed the rest so that i could take care of us both! anyway, i love hello kitty and so does my daughter now :) i find this to be wicked awesome!
it's a nice and comfortable looking hospital, very welcoming... but hello kitty (or any other theme) seems to be too much for a hospital, or maybe we just think in stereotypes..
That is one of the scariest things I have ever seen.
I love this. I can't believe anyone can do anything but crack up at this whole thing!
Bizarre... but Hello Kitty or not, why are all those babies separated from their mothers? That's sad.
Has no one ever heard of the hospital nursery before?
oh my. I think this is taking "cute" a little too far.
nothing out-cutes the babies....
Oh Noooooooo!
This is the best. Absolute best! I don't even want kids and this makes me want to have one just so I can stay there. I love Hello Kitty and and I love this hospital!
i LOVE it.
That's right - introduce them to commercialism and branding as soon as they enter the world - at least the kids can't really focus yet.
Holy moly ... well, hopefully people there have choices and can go elsewhere if this weirdness is too much for them.
When you're having a baby, you should get WHATEVER you want for your surroundings. That being said, I'm fond of Hello Kitty myself and would prefer this to the typical hospital environment. BTW, I don't believe that Hello Kitty has no mouth--she just has a cute little mouth that you can't see because it's closed. Cats have all that fur, you know.
Poor babies. =( Hello Kitty or not, everything looks so... sterile.
It's creepy. What if something went wrong while you were giving birth.. I'd hate to have something bad happen, but especially when I'm surrounded by creepy Hello Kitty stuff. And BTW, I adore cats, just think this is way too creepy.
I like the idea of a hospital that has a cute theme overall to make it feel warmer and more personal... heck, letting women choose "themes" for the linens and such in the recovery room might feel much more welcoming. I don't think the newborn babies will notice or care regardless.
However, a hospital filled with Hello Kitty stuff is a bit... bizarre and creepy unto itself.
Holy crap(!)
This is great. I think I would be so distressed by the visual stimulation of this pink hell that I wouldn't feel the pain so much. I am totally headed to Taiwan if I ever give birth.
These women are having babies not becoming babies. If they are going to all that effort to decorate the maternity ward why not decorate it in a way that the patients may like.
i want.
I'm not a fan of Hello Kitty and this is way too sugarcoated for me, but I still think there's a good idea: we should be able to render our hospital room more... hospitable and less sterile. I'm giving birth for the first time in a few months, and I WANT my cushion, upholstered with a japanese fabric I love. Maybe I'll try and bring a slipcover too...
Boy, are they gonna hate me...
Totally NOT. This is scary as hell! I don't plan to have my baby go into a nursery and be away from me after being inside of me for 10 months- that's got to be scary for her. And it would be scary for me!! I'm gonna want that baby right where I can see her! Luckily I have a boyfriend who will be giving me lots of help- I don't think having her room-in with us will keep me from sleeping, I hope!
soothing colors...cute pics to be had...LOVE it...really do. would be nice if there was more than just Hello Kitty though...maybe another Sanrio character for those having boys...pink can be a bit much...need blue too! ;)
way too much waaaaaaaayyyyyyy toooooo much
I like this, as a mother of two i know how important it is to have things the way you want before/while/after giving birth.
Btw hospitals are sterile and there are nursery's, its common practice. I hate the feel of hospitals, all the white, and the unfamiliarity of doctors and nurses thats why I did my births at a water birthing clinic with mid-wives.
its the moms choice really, why not hello kitty for some.
Love it. It's hilarious. And fun. What great photos for the memory book? I imagine homebirthers will now want to adopt this fashion for themselves : ) I'm more of a hello kitty accents like an alarm clock or a purse. You've just gotta smile when you see her.

Sugared Cranberries
This recipe goes with Cream Cheese-Coconut-Pecan Pound Cake
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Bring 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 cup fresh cranberries to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring often, over medium-high heat. (Do not overcook; cranberries should swell and just begin to pop.) Remove from heat, and drain, reserving liquid for another use. Toss cranberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and arrange in a single layer on wax paper. Use immediately, or let stand at room temperature, uncovered, for up to 24 hours.

The final chapter was always going to be the hardest. One choice from every collection of music ever to have graced my ears.
In the end it was settled by trawling the heady highs and uncharted lows of my personal collection, with one piece standing head-and-shoulders above the rest.
David Bowie's 1972 masterpiece, 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars'.
From start to finish each track rings with iconic familiarity. The guitars buzz with authenticity; the echo-laden vocals haunt each track; the piano chimes the highs; and all the while the bass and drums roll along with steadfast integrity.
Of the innumerable qualities this record can proudly boast, what stands out to me is how effortlessly the most separate pieces are bound together to create a singular piece of musical magic.
The fourth instalment in my odyssey for musical stimulus leads us back to the beginning of a career that may have gone somewhat wayward in recent years.
Weezer have since become a somewhat polished outfit - complete with ironic moustaches and stetsons to match - yet back in their infancy they were an act of understated image and immeasurable potential.
Almost two decades on and 'The Blue Album' still proves a fitting testament to the value of a strong melody. Furthermore, it shows that if you can fit five or six of these melodies into each song, you just might have an album that stays with people forever.
It would be impossible to collate any series of influences personal to myself without the mention of Brian Eno.
The diversity of the body of work he has lent his name to across the decades paints a daunting picture, though for myself and many others picking one from his many albums requires little thought at all.
Another Green World.
An uncharacteristically succinct album, with no track clocking in at any longer than 4 minutes, yet across the way it typifies everything a musician should strive for. Sparse loops and drones melt seamlessly into bright, tight structured pop songs, and just as quickly a soaring lift of ambience enters and once more there are no words, just whatever sound fits the space perfectly.
Today's offering is a somewhat more discreet collection, coming from an album I recall buying in a fit of fervent excitement over a decade ago.
Beck's 2002 offering 'Sea Change' was a far cry from its funk-infused predecessor 'Midnite Vultures', yet such an unexpected shift in genre was precisely what fans had come to expect.
Lead single 'Lost Cause' proves the highlight in an album of wonderful subtlety and contemplation.
The perfect album to emphasise the importance of the smallest detail.
This weekend will once more see us heading into the studio to begin our next record.
Right now the ideas are simply sketches of what we hope will become a masterpiece.
To get myself in the mood I'm searching out inspiration old and new this week, beginning with the new album from Factory Floor.
Simply exceptional.
Imagine hearing Kraftwerk for the first time… that good.
For some of us the hum and thud of an insect trapped on the inside of a window might signal the onset of summer - though for many it provokes a more hostile response, ending most commonly with the death of a creature gone astray. What I would ask in future instances is that you unfurl yesterday's newspaper and consider the consequences of your actions.
For almost a decade bee populations have been in rapid decline, with many losing up to 1/3 of their numbers each year. A famous quote (somewhat dubiously attributed to Albert Einstein of all people) suggests that if bees were to die out, then mankind would follow them within four years, such is the extent of their contribution towards many of the ecosystems we have come to rely upon. They pollinate our fields, gardens and farms, maintaining the world we love and providing us with the food we need to survive. Seeded fruits are reliant on frequent visits from bees and other winged insects alike to help them sweeten and ripen, plus the crops that feed our livestock are pollinated by bees. The world we know rests upon their tiny shoulders, so perhaps we should be doing more to ensure they remain a big part of it.
Bees are most active during the summer months, and if they expend too much energy then, just like us, they may need a rest. Many are mistakenly presumed dead, when in reality they may just have become too tired to continue about their daily toils.
I had the good fortune to find such an occurrence had taken place within my own home, and the bee was equally as fortunate that I had recently come across some sage advice on what to do in such an instance.
The above video is a condensed documentation of a morning spent observing the recuperative benefits of a simple mixture of sugar and water. The sweet elixir provides the bees with enough energy to continue their duties and return to the hive.
So I ask that if you find a bee in your home, aid it's bid for freedom in whatever way you can - but be careful when doing so, however, for although bees cannot see red, they get as angry as anybody would if you stopped them from saving the world.
Friday June 7th marks a special day for us indeed!

The origin of communication holds as much mystery as the birth of the Universe itself. Both are at the mercy of speculation and theoretical suppositions, yet without a means to witness first-hand their inception, neither can be definitively explained. The trouble is that, despite both the concept of existence and widespread communication being theoretically improbable to the point of absurdity, both exist and therefore must be defined and elucidated within the boundaries of our accepted logical framework.
The Big Bang is one theory of how the Universe came to exist, and a similar concept was equally proposed as the catalyst for structured language, in that it was not gradually developed, but instead emerged rapidly. The line of reasoning behind this proposal is relatively simple - either a species is capable of complex cognitive thought, or it is not. The innate ability to quantify is an example of how the human mind sculpted its own demand for expressive language through necessity.
If N is any number, then N+1 is an infinite equation limited only by the means to express its product.
Logically this theory cannot be disputed, and it gives further credence to the notion that all language exists in a complex and ever-adaptive state. Though what it does not propose is how this potential evolved into a fully realised and widely acknowledged form of communication.
It is suggested in some disciplines that complex communication was developed through social interaction and learned behaviour, while others believe it to be a product of a genetic distortion spread through breeding which caused a portion of the species to advance dramatically.
Aside from the debate over how this advancement emerged, equally baffling is the notion of how it was perpetuated. As with any new tool or working practice, the benefit of using it over the existing model must deliver a measurable degree of reward. Observations of modern-day species which show the capability of basic communication reinforce this notion through their negative application of the rule. They will use standardly accepted expressions (eg. a cry of pain) outside of the appropriate context to trick other creatures into coming to their assistance, only to use the opportunity to raid their unguarded food-source. In doing this they curtail the potential for advanced communication by undermining the most vital ingredient - a belief in the accuracy of the delivered information. Be it a sound or a complex sentence, neither holds value if the recipient is untrusting of their own interpretation.
The benefit of deception is plain to see in the short-term, yet somehow this barrier had to be overcome for communication to have developed to the degree we see today. One theory is that an overwhelming wave of altruism must have run throughout the vast majority of exchanges, where the understanding of the delivered message became the overriding reward. Another suggests that it is our natural predisposition towards song as a species that enabled us to embrace the varied and expressive nature of vocal communication, with its value not playing a significant role until much later in the process of development.
Whatever the reason for it coming to be, what we can agree on definitively is that our world cannot function without communication.
Everything that we know to exist has a name, and anything new that comes into being must be given one so that we can effectively communicate this to other people. All existing words carry their own contextual implications, so that we can understand what it is we are presented with.
On April 6th 2013 our brief sojourn into the welcome warmth of studio life shall come to an end. Touring life beckons, and we shall answer with vigour.
With a new year comes new instruments, and with new instruments, new songs. In the not-too-distant future a new release will follow, but for now we welcome you to sample our fresh ideas in the flesh.

Earth is currently home to upwards of 7,000,000,000 people.
If we were to take this round figure as a template for the sake of simplified mathematics, then in my estimations, approximately 1/70,000th of 1% of the entire populace of the planet have actively purchased our music. We would have to sell somewhere in the region of 4,000 albums a day for 50 years to reach just 1% of the world.
Official statistics estimate that Michael Jackson's Thriller (the highest selling album in history) has sold somewhere between 70 and 120 million copies, and counting. This would mean that only around 1.7% of the world legitimately own what would appear to be the most popular collection of music available for mass consumption.
With this in mind I would now like to formally answer the question 'do we think we are popular enough to release an extended version of our album?'
No, I don't.
And from the figures above I might even question Michael Jackson's right to do so too - but this has never been about popularity. You would have to be dangerously insane to believe we think our album has done so well it deserves a re-release.
The extension of the record is our personal take on music piracy. We contemplated hosting a Metallica-esque press conference where we might endlessly list the reasons why stealing music is bad, but that sounded boring. Instead we saw that a Google search of our name returned as many torrent sites as it did live reviews, so we opted to release the album early.
The September release allowed the legitimate music buyers to hear the same record their peg-legged, parrot-toting neighbours had downloaded the week previous (yes, that is what you look like if you steal music).
But that still left us with an official November date to fill.
Despite some rather convincing arguments in favour of self-congratulatory back-slapping and thumb-twiddling, we opted to return to the studio and record some more adventurous versions of the tracks on the album.
Retaining only the initial melody, all parts were stripped and reassembled to make new songs with familiar words.
The re-packaging comes complete with lyric book, extended liner notes and individually wrapped tie-dye covers.
A typical adult human body contains 206 bones.
Aside from giving structure to our bodies, they also offer protection by encasing our vital organs. Just as the skeleton cannot remain intact without the soft tissue around it, our ligaments, tendons, cartilage and muscles are incapable of movement without the internal template of our bones to dictate their limits and offer a foundation.
There are no records of a single human being having definitively broken every bone in their body. It would be logical to presume the trauma of such an occurrence would make it impossible for the subject to live beyond this. To even conceive how you might break some of the smaller bones in a singular incident of significant force to break the larger ones too would almost certainly leave few remains that bore any resemblance to a human being.
Thankfully, the ladies and gentlemen whose osseous matter has been documented and collated for our latest release were not nearly so unfortunate. Nevertheless, these are indeed genuine X-Rays of the human body.
A limited run of 37 are available, then there will be no more.
