I don't think I've shared this recipe here on the blog. My family LOVES these muffins...actually everyone who's tried them too. They're moist and yummy! In the original recipe it calls for white chocolate...I don't like white chocoate so I chop up some semi sweet chocoate into chunks.
1 3/4 cups (225 grams) all purpose flour
1/2 cup (100 grams) white granulated sugar
1/4 cup (55 grams) light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (2 ounces) (65 grams) white chocolate chips or chunks
3 large ripe bananas (approximately 1 pound or 454 grams), mashed well (about 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F).
In a large bowl combine flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. In a medium bowl combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, lightly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined and the batter is thick and chunky. Do not over mix the batter.
Bake about 20 - 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Makes 12 regular sized muffins.

I have passed through Kentucky twice, and have always been impressed by all the green. Where I live in WA is supposed to be green, but we are being bombarded with a heat wave. Your new home is lovely, as well as your little family. Joni

Thank you for your compliments on our house! We're very excited to be living here, and I love waking up to a serene view. I hope you're are having a nice summer and stay cool!

Joe Satriani
Oct. 19 at 6:30 (doors) | The Vogue Theatre
Tickets: $59.50 - $79.50 at northerntickets.com
Joe Satriani has gone from teaching guitar to the likes of Steve Vai and Metallica's Kirk Hammett to becoming an international guitar god himself. Known to his fans as Satch, the New York-born-and-raised 57-year-old has played with everyone from Robert Fripp to Spinal Tap to Sammy Hagar (in the band Chickenfoot), and has released 14 studio albums. These include his signature 1987 record Surfing With the Alien to his latest, Unstoppable Momentum. Satriani is also the man behind G3, a three-guitar summit that tours occasionally. Currently on a cross-Canada tour, the six-string samurai plays the Vogue Oct. 19 and signs autographs at Long & McQuade (368 Terminal) on Oct. 18. We asked him about the strangest thing he's ever signed, recording with Spinal Tap and singing with Crowded House.
Q: You mixed the album in Vancouver. Have you spent a lot of time here?
A: I've done a lot of recording in Vancouver. My longtime associate Mike Fraser is a — what do you say — Vancouveran, Vancouverite? I met him back in '96 when we were doing the first live G3 recording. We've done a lot of albums, maybe 10 or 12, since then. We recorded a lot of one at the Armoury. But we've done mainly a lot of mixing up at Bryan Adams' studio, the Warehouse. So we're very comfortable going up there for a few weeks at a time.
Q: You're doing an autograph session when you're in town. What is the strangest thing you've ever signed?
A: Well, I've signed the obvious things — body parts of every kind, just about. And people have had them tattooed, which is odd. Women get their breast tattooed where I've signed them, bald guys have had their heads tattooed with my signature. We've had a lot of leg signatures, just about every article of clothing. I think the weirdest was, I signed a birth certificate for a young kid whose parents had named him Satriani. They came to an in-store at a Wal-Mart somewhere in the U.S. and they wanted me to sign the birth certificate. I looked at the kid and thought, I'm sorry. He'll be wondering why he's called Satriani and not Dave or something.
Q: You played on the Spinal Tap album Break Like the Wind (1992), correct?
A: Yes I did, yeah. I've know those guys quite a while. I'm pretty close to (actor/director) Christopher Guest. I think (guitarist) Steve Lukather was producing that particular (title) track. They got me in there to play a solo. I wound up right in between Slash and Jeff Beck.
Q: And you did background vocals on the first Crowded House album?
A: That's right. I was in a band called The Squares. It was a trio with Jeff Campitelli on drums and Andy Milton on bass, and Andy and I sang a kind of harmonized lead vocal thing. Andy had a really beautiful voice. The producer of Crowded House at the time, Mitchell Froom, was acquainted with our stuff, so he had hired us to go down to Los Angeles and be the background vocal sound for Crowded House. He was looking for some kind of a sound that people hadn't been using down in L.A., and he was looking for voices that would blend primarily with the lead vocalist and drummer with the band. I think we sang on six tracks. You can really hear Andy Milton's voice though on all the singles.
Q: And early in your career you played with Greg Kihn, who had a hit in the '80s with Jeopardy. And then became a novelist.
A: He's not only a really good novelist but he's a radio DJ in San Jose, California. I've been on his show and I gave lessons to his son Ryan, and the three of us have played guitar on the radio and on stage many times. I had one year of playing with Greg and the guys (in the Greg Kihn Band) and it was really a lot of fun. Greg is the true lead singer/frontman kind of guy in a very Northern California way. The Squares were like a junior contemporary to the Greg Kihn Band. We used to open shows for them, and that's how I got to know them. That's how I got invited to join the band — they were in a spot and needed a lead guitar player in a hurry. They had asked me once before, prior to the Jeopardy single. It came at a really good time. I was in a lot of debt having self-produced my first album, Not of This Earth (1986), and I was looking for a way to pay the bill. And along came that offer, and it solved a lot of problems.
Q: You've worked with such a wide range of guitarists. Who would you say is the most stylistically different from you?
A: When I started the G3 concert series, the idea was to play with people who were different from myself but who are virtuosos in their own right. The very first tour, we had Steve Vai and Eric Johnson, but also we had bonus players. One was Kenny Wayne Shepherd. And opening the show was Robert Fripp from King Crimson. Right there you can see a huge difference in the players. I would have to say Robert Fripp was the most different, his approach is so unique. And he's chosen to move forward and not rely on quoting historical musical references as much as, say, someone like myself.
Q: Who are the exciting guitar players today? Who's got you looking over your shoulder?
A: There's a good amount of exciting players out there. I kind of stayed focused on players that have done some things , and then moved on to different territories. I think the new Queens of the Stone Age (... Like Clockwork) is a really cool album. The approach is just so unique from a guitarist's point-of-view.
Q: What did you want to do on the new album that maybe you hadn't done before?
A: I was looking to push myself into an area that would be new. I'm always focusing on melody and unique harmonies, and I try to bring in people who will enhance the rhythmic approach. This time around I brought in a veteran drummer, Vinnie Colaiuta, and paired him with Mike Keneally on keyboards and Chris Chaney on bass, who usually plays with Jane's Addiction. (Note: on the current tour, Marco Minnemann and Bryan Beller are on drums and bass, respectively.) It was an odd grouping of players but I had a feeling there would be some magic when we got in the room together. It turned out better than I expected. The sparks were flying, not only because of similarities and backgrounds, but also our differences as players. And I think that sort of energy and organic freshness wound up on the record, which is what I was hoping for.

We love this time of year. The leaves change, the temperature drops, and the psychoactive slime flows freely under the streets of New York. We're so excited for October, and we have big news for you!
We're back and bigger than ever, with three new shows this month, just in time for Halloween!
To start things off right, we'll be returning to the IFC Center, our beloved home in the West Village, for some outrageous late night fun on Friday, October 26th and Saturday, October 27th at midnight.
Then on Monday, October 29th at 9PM we'll be hitting the stage once again in Times Square! We're beyond thrilled to join forces with Times Scare, a year-round haunted attraction located in the heart of New York City at 42nd and 8th Ave in one of the most haunted buildings in the nation. You can enjoy a Ghostbuster-themed drink in the Kill Bar before the show! We'll have details soon on prices & links for ticket sales.
We hope to see you this October; whether it be in the West Village or Times Square! (Slime Square.) As always, we've got new scenes, new cast, new laughs! And you! You're a big part of our show. We need you to fry like an egg on Sigourney Weaver's counter, go to jail with the Ghostbusters, and cheer them on while they fight the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and save New York City!
See you there!

This looks so much like a lovely crewel work. Brilliant idea to white emboss over the dark color, then 'stitch' with your copics. Pretty spring colors, and they certainly show to great advantage. So pretty. TFS & Hugs

American Craftmanship
If imitation truly is the greatest form of flattery, you would have to look long and hard to find a holster maker whose designs have been more "imitated" then Mr. Lou Alessi's. Sadly, the world lost not just a great craftsman, but also a great man when Lou passed away in February of 2009. Lou is gone from our lives; but the company and legacy he started continues to live on today.
When Editor Roy first introduced me to Lou at the SHOT Show years ago, he told Lou I was member of the "addicted to the smell of fresh leather" club. I was embarrassed when Lou asked me if I had any of his holsters and hung my head in shame. In passing Lou said, "We'll have to do something about that won't we." When our conversation concluded, I walked away knowing I had just met a truly great man.
About three weeks later, I was getting ready to head in for a swing shift when there was a UPS-knock at the door. The contents of the box blew me away; a Lou Alessi CQC/S with a single mag pouch for my Glock 23 and a note — "Now you have one my holsters." It seems Lou, with the help of Mr. Roy, had taken care of me in a very big way.
I had it on the other day, and a friend asked wasn't it a collectors item now that Lou had passed on? I told him if Lou were to find out I had put the holster in a box, he would be disappointed.

Volunteering for a medical mission in Haïti requires personal flexibility and an inherent spirit for adventure. The infrastructure, general customs and value systems in emerging countries, where beating the odds against survival literally present a daily challenge, can often seem shocking to the visitor on initial exposure.
Medical volunteers of all levels accustomed to the sophisticated standards of care in western countries require adaptation when working under conditions a world apart from themodern, state-of-the-art hospitals in the US. The medical history becomes the sole road to diagnosis, complemented by physical findings. Diagnostic studies are not available for patients that literally have one sole opportunity for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Our medical volunteers include general physicians, specialty physicians and surgeons who do general practice work in Haïti but are called upon for opinions and referrals when needed, pediatricians, social workers and specialists in the education of personal hygiene, health and nutrition, dental hygienists, nurses, nurse practitioners and pharmacists.
Non-medical volunteers are as important as the medical component and NOVA is always in need of English-Creole translators (a background in medical terminology is especially helpful). We have traveled with college students who help with distribution of medicines, photographers and volunteers with no specific skills but with a willingness to interact with the Haitian patients and staff to contribute to the smooth function of the clinic.

There is a shirt on Brick Records website that you can buy that says "Hip Hop Sucks Because of You!" I mention that because that angry and self-righteous sentiment is evident in "Champs Vs. the League", by producer Quite Nyce and MC Raydar Ellis. As their press release says, "'Champs Vs. the League' is a project full of positivity, pride in family and community, self respect, reflection and hard work. It is truly an intelligent breath of fresh air in the current stagnant, un-innovative genre that is hip hop." In other words, they think the music you've been listening to is wack, and they are here to call you out and show you what real hip hop sounds like.
Their credentials are solid. Both artists have been part of Boston's underground hip hop scene for years, Quite Nyce with RADIx and Raydar with Short Bus Alumni and Project Move. Nyce has his own label, Abstrak Recordings, and Raydar Ellis has played with Mos Def and Guru and recorded with Esoteric and Michelle Williams. Plus, he's a graduate of and professor at Berklee College of Music, so he knows his way around a studio. This isn't some 15-year-old with laptop and a Myspace account.
Raydar's musical training shows. The beats on the album are smooth, polished, and expertly arranged. "Clap" melds what sounds like the intro to "Superfly" with uptempo handclaps, producing a bouncing groove for Quite Nyce to spit over, rapping "This is what we do when we do what we can/so c'mon and clap your hands." "Lalalalala" has mellow funky jazz beat that bubbles along at a slow simmer. Like a lot of the music on the album, "Lalalalala" is subtle, managing to get your head bobbing without hitting you over the head. The mellow, understated vibe of the record can get sleepy at times, like on "If I Never," featuring Akil from Jurassic 5, or "Miss September." Those slower tracks are contrasted by some uptempo songs, but on the whole this album is more reflective than banging.
Raydar and Nyce have passionate deliveries, and their rhymes focus on the problems in the world. When they are doing it right, they can be as invigorating as Mos Def or Talib Kweli, speaking truth to power and making the listener think. "Build Up" is an inspiring song about building up a strong foundation for the community; "Broken Pieces" sees the MCs reaching out to struggling friends, declaring "every time you slip/I'm always there to pick up the broken pieces." On "The Spirit," one of the stronger tracks on the album, the MC's spit at the top of their game over a funky break, and the song ends with a quote from the classic film "Network" about being "mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore!" Raydar and Nyce are not just playing lip service to their ideals; their sincerity comes through clearly in their music, which is a definite strength.
The downside to this sincerity is that they can feel preachy at times. Maybe that's an unfair criticism of artists who are at least trying to stray from the normal sex and violence of hip hop, but there were points on the album where I felt like I was being lectured at. "Holla Bout A Dolla," for example, takes a scolding tone criticizing consumerism and capitalism in African-American communities. Their points about "being sick of seeing check cashers and liquor stores next to churches" is well-taken, but the message would have been better-received if the listener didn't feel like the naughty kid getting called out by his dad/teacher/preacher.
Their self-righteousness is balanced by solid beats and rhymes, and it's hard to begrudge any group that can produce a classic hip hop joint like "Buck Short," which could have come straight out of late-nineties Rawkus. Fans of underground hip hop shouldn't sleep on "Champs Vs. the League;" Quite Nyce and Raydar Ellis are definitely not minor league.

PopGun Presents
LAZERPOP CMJ Party:, The Hood Internet
Chrissy Murderbot, E-603
Glasslands Gallery
289 Kent Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11249
Doors 11:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
A mash-up crew who came to fame thanks to their genre-jumping mixes, the Hood Internet were formed in Chicago after members Aaron Brink (ABX) and Steve Reidell (STV SLV) both moved to the city with fresh college diplomas. They met in the indie band May or May Not, but after hearing mash-up DJs like Girl Talk and Them Jeans, they headed straight for the laptop and began combining Lil Wayne with Modest Mouse, Swizz Beatz with Deerhoof, and R. Kelly with Jens Lekman. Initial results were uploaded to the Hood Internet blog in 2007 and it didn't take long for the music to explode. Right-click downloads quickly ticked into the thousands and by the end of the year New York Magazine had featured the band. The Hood Internet Mixtape, Vol. 1 also landed in 2007, while 2008's mixtape The Hood Internet vs Chicago landed on some media year-end Top Ten lists, including Current TV's. For music not released in any traditional format, it was a milestone, as it was in 2009 when the Ting Tings performed their song "Shut Up and Let Me Go" live with a bit of Estelle's "American Boy" in the middle, a nod to the Hood Internet's mash-up mix of the songs. In 2010 the group got some cool corporate sponsorship when the New York City streetwear brand Mishka sponsored their Trillwave mixtape. In 2012, the Hood Internet moved beyond the mash-up with their debut studio album, Feat. Released by the Decon label, Feat featured a wide range of guests including Black Moth Super Rainbow's Tobacco, AC Newman, and Kid Static.
Based in Chicago, Chrissy Murderbot is physically and spiritually linked to the wellspring of house music and its myriad relatives. Untouched by commercialism's urge towards glossy, dumbed-down poptronica, Murderbot aims to incorporate the grimy textures of juke, glitch, ghettotech, whatever is being forced towards the margins for lack of compromise. The result is an almost unclassifiable but instantly familiar pan-disco vibe that instantly ensnares any dancefloor.
Coming out of the burgeoning Mega-Mash-Up scene (Girl Talk, Super Mash Brothers, The White Panda, The Hood Internet), E-603 takes a more musical approach, laying down some of his own instrumentation into the super fast cut and paste production aesthetic. His approach to genre-smashing dance floor mayhem has gained credibility outside of the college concert & party scenes, landing him an opening slot on US tour with Passion Pit, who hand-picked him, in late 2009. His 2009 release "Torn Up" was self-released in June that year, and on its release 3 tracks hit Top 4 on Hype Machine's Most Popular Tracks list.

Here Are The USDA's New Dietary Guidelines (Watch Out, Sugar!)
Let's be real: You're an mbg reader. You already know that sugar is the enemy.
According to Dr. Mark Hyman, studies have shown that sugar is eight times as addictive as cocaine. It fuels inflammation, which can triggers blood sugar imbalances, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and Type 2 diabetes. It also derails hormones, which can make you more hungry, cause belly fat storage, and lead to Type 2 diabetes.
So today, the federal government has finally acknowledged what a problem sugar really is in its new dietary guidelines, which come out every five years.
The major takeaways: Americans need to drastically cut back on sugar, reduce their intake of saturated fat, and teenage boys and men specifically need to stop eating so much meat.
The panel dropped the longstanding limit on dietary cholesterol (300 milligrams a day) but still encouraged people to "eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible" to lower their risk of cardiovascular disease.
Other than that, much of the dietary advice remains unchanged since the last report in 2010; there's still a focus on consuming more fruits and vegetables, more fiber and whole grains, and less salt.
And while you might already be adhering to these guidelines by sticking to a plant-based diet, most Americans do not eat a healthy diet, are overweight and risk getting heart disease and other illnesses as a result. So hopefully this could change the way millions of people eat.
"Today, about half of all American adults — 117 million people — have one or more preventable, chronic diseases, many of which are related to poor quality eating patterns and physical inactivity," Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell and Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack say in an introduction to the report.
"Rates of these chronic, diet-related diseases continue to rise, and they come not only with increased health risks, but also at high cost."
However, rather disappointingly, the new guide fails to suggest less red or processed meat despite the strong evidence that both can cause cancer.
So, other than the major cap on sugar, the guide mostly just maintained its old advice of keeping to a "healthy eating pattern":
- A variety of vegetables: dark green, red and orange, legumes (beans and peas), starchy and other vegetables
- Fruits, especially whole fruit
- Grains, at least half of which are whole grain
- Fat-free or low-fat dairy, including milk, yogurt, cheese, and/or fortified soy beverages
- A variety of protein foods, including seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, legumes (beans and peas), soy products, and nuts and seeds
- Oils, including those from plants: canola, corn, olive, peanut, safflower, soybean, and sunflower. Oils also are naturally present in nuts, seeds, seafood, olives, and avocados.
Yes, we know: it's stuff you already knew. But if you realize you really should be cutting down on sugar, here are some simple tips from Dr. Richard Jacoby and a full course on how to ditch it from Dana James.

M1-21 Norman Lovett
M1-21 John Peel Sings the Blues Badly
Norman's pithy IMDB biog reads something like this: Height: 5′ 10″ (1.78 m). Spouse: Fi Lovett (1989 – present). 2 daughters, Lily and Kitty. Is a comedian. Orginally [sic] auditioned for the part of Rimmer in "Red Dwarf" (1988 & 1999), but was cast as the talking head of a computer called Holly instead. Was considered for the role of Zazu in The Lion King (1994).
This may lead you to think that, while he seems to be leading a happy and stable family life, he hasn't been too good at landing plum jobs in massive blockbuster feature films. Well, that's as may be, but I feel gratified to have been at behind at least, one of his winning moves. For it was I who picked him out of a hoard of hopefuls who sent me their demos after I dished out on BBC Radio an invitation to the public to submit tapes as an audition for the final track to be added to Miniatures.
Kick-started his career? Hmm, mebbe not, but it was just 4 years after Miniatures that Norman made his TV debut and went on to appear in 32 (so far, says IMDB) TV shows and films, including playing a computer named Holly in "Red Dwarf" as well as voice-overs for popular long-running ads for Barclays and Sugar Puffs, and his wittily-titled self-written TV comedy show "I, Lovett."
As an ex-pat since the early 80's I realise I am pitifully ignorant of Norman's status as, I gather from googlewikiyoutube as well as IMDB, a well-loved character on Brit TV and in several films. So to save myself putting a foot wrong, here are a few links so that you can fill in any gaps in your knowledge of him:
Norman's famous Sugar Puffs voice-over
218 (as of today) delights on youtube
The man's site, with some very entertaining videos
Live show featuring (shock! horror!) plastic bags and clothes pegs. Let it never be said that Norman stints on the quality and variety of his props
On his Miniatures track, Norman impersonated, very well I thought, England's best-loved DJ and heroically staunch supporter of all kinds of fantastic independent music (including my own Hybrid Kids), John Peel (RIP). Since his much-too-early passing in 2004, John's family and friends have set up the John Peel Centre for Creative Arts, a thriving organisation who are, among many other worthy deeds, soon to make John's entire, massive record collection available as an online interactive museum. Cor!
The unique thing about Norman's miniature which sets it apart from all the others is that he broke the "fourth wall" and spoke directly to the listener about his selfishly high expectations re his appearance on this album. Norman's cheeky yet endearing charm is that he communicates personally to his listeners rather in the manner of, say, a friendly barman. I think this cosy, matey side of this slightly surreal geezer from the penny arcade who called his own phone and answered it will be what keeps him in the public eye for many years to come, and though I haven't yet seen them, I'm sure his two DVD's are tons of fun. The new one, "Outside the Box," was recorded just after Norman finished a run in Edinburgh, so he's primed and red hot. But as he says – "not that you'd notice of course; Norman's style of laid back surrealist whimsy masks the fact that he was 'on fire' that night." More of a quiet chuckle than a belly laugh, then. How very British.
Next up: let's shake our elbows…

The Red Sox signed David Price to a historic $217 million deal, but is he worth the risk? Tom Verducci says it might pay off in the short-term, but the future should worry Boston.
The business of baseball is played under two sets of rules: contracts that make sense and those that don't. The Red Sox tried playing under the former rules, which meant letting homegrown ace Jon Lester go because, now more than ever, it is ridiculously inefficient to pay more than $20 million a year for a pitcher to decline through his 30s. Here is what being smart with money got Boston: a last-place team with a $186 million payroll. The Red Sox were in last place and 10 games out even before school let out.
Goodbye, Ben Cherington. Hello, Dave Dombrowski, who took over Aug. 18 as spender-in-chief. Goodbye, efficiency. Hello, baseball baccarat.
This is what one rival executive told me a week ago: "The Red Sox are going to pay more than any other team to get David Price. They didn't bring Dave Dombrowski in to start a rebuilding program. They brought him in to win now. And Dave has his own legacy to look after, too, after Detroit let him go. You don't think he wants to show them? Prospects, money … whatever it takes."
So far, Dombrowski has jumped out front in the market to overpay with prospects for closer Craig Kimbrel and overpay in years for Price, who just became the highest paid pitcher in baseball history ($217 million over seven years) and did so without winning any of his eight postseason starts. His teams lost every time he started a postseason game. (In fairness, they also scored 19 runs in those eight games.)
The Red Sox are spending all of this money on Price because they have it (baseball's little secret is that revenues have been rising faster than salaries), and because it didn't work when they tried to play it smart. Will the about-face work? In the short term, yes. In the long term? In the names of Brown, Hampton, Santana, Sabathia, et al.: No way.
This is what you need to know about the Price signing: The Red Sox are paying Price his market rate and betting an enormous sum of money that he is an extreme outlier, an ace who ages well into his 30s.
First, the market value. A year ago, the Nationals gave Max Scherzer $210 million over seven years. How does Price compare to Scherzer? He is slightly better:
|1,441 2/3
So Price gets $7 million more, but the contract has even more value because Scherzer deferred without interest half of his money ($105 million) and did not obtain an opt-out clause. Price has no deferred money and can opt-out after three years. In the context of the money flying around today's game, Price hit his market value.
Now think about all the reasons Boston can talk themselves into thinking Price is an outlier when it comes to pitchers' aging patterns. He has pitched great at Fenway Park (6–1 with a 1.95 ERA in 11 starts); he has excelled in the cauldron of the AL East (he is 29–4 on the road in Boston, New York, Baltimore and Toronto); he has maintained his velocity (his average four-seam velocity from last season of 94.9 mph was his best since 2012); he already has transitioned into a more multi-faceted pitcher (his changeup usage increased for a fifth straight season); he has super clean mechanics, which he has maintained with little change to his body structure; and he has no history of major arm issues.
It's all true and it sounds great, but you can't think it's a good long-term based on recent sampling. I've already examined all free-agent contracts over the previous five years that were worth $50 million or more and studied the return on the 81 seasons for those players age 30 or older. I found that teams on average were paying $19.2 million a year for a 53% chance that a free agent in his 30s will be at least average. A veritable coin flip. Overall, the rate of productive players in their 30s in baseball is the worst in 40 years, and the worst in the history of free agency.
Pitchers, as velocity has crept up, are losing effectiveness sooner and sooner. Let's give Price three good years in Boston: ages 30, 31 and 32. What will his age-33, -34, -35 and -36 seasons look like at $124 million?
Let's look at last season, and every pitcher between ages 33 and 36. Now count all of those pitchers who threw 162 innings with an adjusted ERA better than 100. You can stop counting at just three: Mark Buehrle, Dan Haren and John Lackey.
Five years ago, you would have found 10 such pitchers who aged well. Sixteen years ago, in a much tougher pitching environment (but with no drug testing), you would have found 16 of them.
Here's another exercise to try. Rewind the clock to five years ago and find all the pitchers who threw at least 162 innings in their age 29 season, as Price did this year. You find seven of them. How did they hold up? None of them are close to anybody's idea of an ace just five years later: Brett Myers, CC Sabathia, C.J. Wilson, Roberto Hernandez, Haren, Joe Saunders and Joe Blanton.
The greatest pitchers of this generation fade quickly: Sabathia, Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, Justin Verlander, Cliff Lee, etc. Over the past two seasons 44 names have filled Cy Young Award ballots, but only one was older than 32 (Lackey).
Winning in baseball is not an either/or scenario. The 2015 Royals did not have an ace on Opening Day, though they did rent Johnny Cueto for two months. The Blue Jays are moving on without their rental, Price, and spreading far less money around to J.A. Happ and Marco Estrada. The Cubs, already on the hook for the decline of Lester, don't have the stomach for paying for another such decline and are more likely to trade for a young starter such as Shelby Miller, Kevin Gausman or Taijuan Walker. The Yankees, after the mistake of not letting Sabathia walk on his opt-out, are staying out of the aging pitcher market and borrowing from the Kansas City model (decent starting pitching backed by a deep, power bullpen). It's not that the Red Sox have found the better way; it's that they got burned trying it the other way.
Today, on paper, Boston is the best team in the American League East. Price gives them stability, an extroverted personality who won't crater in Boston and a positive clubhouse presence who should be especially helpful to young lefthanded starters Eduardo Rodriguez and Henry Owens. For the next two or three years, it's a great fit. After that? Well, the Red Sox and baseball must hope revenues continue to rise.
It's appropriate that Price's agreement should come on the first day of the month that marks the 40th anniversary of the greatest win ever by the players. On Dec. 23, 1975, arbitrator Peter Seitz, in a 64-page decision, ruled for the players in the grievances brought by Andy Messersmith and Dave McNally. Baseball's reserve clause, which bound players to their teams indefinitely, effectively was dead. It was the birth of free agency. It was the birth of the freedom for the clubs to buy their way out of last place.

Today is a public holiday in Germany, the celebration of the reunification of West and East Germany in 1991. The radio has had some interesting reflections of how Germany came into being, the post World War 1 economic and political chaos which gave rise to Hitler and his thugs, and finally the partition between the Allies and the Russians. As I am listening to the biography of Joachim Gauck, the current Bundespraesident, it has provided a a very interesting background to his memoir of life under the Soviets and their puppets, the German Democratic Socialists ...
I have come to believe, reading several recent histories, and rereading some of those I am more familiar with, that a unified Germany is far better for modern Europe than the divided one the west and the eastern powers kept alive for forty years. I can never understand those who persist in thinking the East was a 'model' state, or that socialism, communism, Marxism (which Marx himself wouldn't recognise) or any of the other Left-wing "-isms" is either fair, just or viable. It must be ironic that we currently have the Greens veering even further Left, and the former Communists trying to present themselves as "good guys". The voters rejected this in the elections, both the Greens and the Left lost ground, the Social Democrats held their share - just.
Germany is not some armed camp lurking in the heart of Europe waiting for an opportunity to seize control of everyone else. It is a nation of hardworking people, who remember their past and refuse to let the extremists take them down that road again. The modern Germany is working hard to preserve stability, and to make Europe secure.
Personally, I hope they succeed. They've had everyone tramp across their country for centuries, and they have learned from it. They prize stability above all else, and they're prepared to work to keep it.

This is a time-waster, really -- of scant moment, as no one believes Jim Cramer's take on his neighbor's pharma company, any longer (and, lest we forget -- in September 2008, even he didn't believe his own take, any longer). In any event, here's a little "best of" list, I've cobbled together:
. . . .Jim Cramer said:
July 21, 2009: Schering-Plough CEO Fred Hassan came to the company "when the stock was around $15, $16 and swore that he would make money for you," Cramer said. "He tied up with Merck, and a lot of people felt that maybe that was a mistake." But Cramer said that the stock is up 10 points -- "a pretty good price." "During a period when the drug stocks have been absolutely terrible," Cramer said, Hassan "deserves our plaudits. . . ."
[Ed. Note: No, Jim -- he swore he would "turn it around", and "stay independent". He did neither, Jim. But he is your neighbor -- so I understand why you can't see the truth.]
September 3, 2008 -- NYSE Close $19.16: Mad Mail - Schering-Plough: Although Cramer felt bad about selling Schering-Plough, he stood by his comments on Tuesday's show that the negative press surrounding the company will limit any upside. . . .
January 24, 2008 -- NYSE Close $19.76: Now that they're down, buy . . . Schering-Plough (SGP Quote), Jim Cramer said on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment Friday. . . . Just so you know, I just issued an alert. . . . You should buy it here (around $19.75)," he said of the cosponsors of Vytorin, which made headlines today after the Food and Drug Administration said it would issue early communication on the drug. He's reminded of Bausch and Lomb, Bristol-Myers Squibb and other pharmaceutical companies that experienced exaggerated stock-price dives on bad news. Those situations, Cramer said, represented buying opportunities. "The headline risk in drugs is also far worse," Cramer said. "This is what happens with drug stocks. Everyone panics at the same time. They get knocked all the way down." "This is just unbelievable to me," Cramer added, saying that to cut shares of Schering-Plough so much, investors would have to believe the FDA was going to pull Vytorin. . . . This is a classic headline overreaction. . . ."
[Ed. Note: FDA didn't "pull 'em"; but Schering-Plough fell all the way down to $13.47, and saw its US market share, for those drugs, fall 46 percent, in under a year and a half.]
December 17, 2007 -- NYSE Close $26.44: Cramer's Take: Buy This Stock Now:
Schering-Plough's selloff today signifies an important one-time buying opportunity, says Jim Cramer. . . .
[Ed. Note: Apparently, not. . . . That is about where it closed tonight, and Cramer sees that as a "plaudit-deserving performance" -- when he felt it was "severely undervalued" at this same level a bit ago.]
Hilarious. Something more weighty, soon. I promise.

[Front view of an unidentified building, Bombay.]
Photographer: Unknown
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1890
Photograph of the front view of an unidentified building in Bombay from the 'Album of architectural and topographical views, mostly in South Asia' taken by an unknown photographer in the 1890s. Bombay, the capital of Maharashtra, is one of India's major industrial centres. In 1661, the area came under English control as part of the dowry brought to Charles II by the Portuguese princess Catherine of Braganza. In the 19th century, Bombay became a prosperous centre for maritime trade and underwent an ambitious phase of building which resulted in a collection of some of the finest Victorian architecture in Asia. The architectural style dominant in Bombay at this time was Neo-Gothic. This style was encouraged by Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere (1815-1884), a Governor of Bombay.

Szoke and Welsh take podiums in Calgary.
June 30, 2009
CALGARY, Alta. (June 28) - Despite controlling the race for 21 laps, five-time Canadian champion Jordan Szoke had to settle for a second pace finish in the third round of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship at Race City Motorsport Park in Calgary on Sunday.
The 30-year-old from Brantford, Ont. qualified on pole on his Canadian Kawasaki Motors factory Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and led every lap around the 3.2km (2.0-mile) track, but in the final section of turns on the last lap he slipped just a little bit wide and was passed for the top spot. The tight nature of the final section of turns left few opportunities to regain the lead; Szoke used every ounce of power from his Ninja ZX-10R to run down McCormick to the checkered flag but finished second by just 0.080 secs.
"Kawasaki always gives me a great motorcycle and I had the bike to win today," said Szoke, who was trying to win for the ninth time at Race City in the Superbike class. "The bike was perfect. I'm mad at myself for leaving the door open. I felt super-comfortable all race."
Despite ending the morning pre-qualifying session in second on Saturday Szoke claimed pole for Sunday's Superbike race with a lap at 1:15.126 in the Pirelli SuperPole session. The time was under the previous lap record and put him almost half a second clear of his nearest rival.
"You hate to complain when you've put it on pole but I had some trouble with my downshifts into turn one and lost a bit of time there," Szoke said. "After that the lap was going great but in the Bus Stop Chicane I got into a wheelie and that screwed my drive up for the run into corner eight. In the end I was pleased to get that good a lap."
Although he didn't get the holeshot off the line at the start of the race Szoke powered into the lead by the time the field reached turn one and he controlled the race from there. He set the fastest lap, a 1:16.120 on the sixth tour and in the middle portion he had eked out a margin of just under two seconds.
Despite his runner-up finish Szoke remains a strong contender in his bid to claim a fourth straight Parts Canada Superbike title. He is just 11 points out of the lead with 146 and four races still on the schedule.
Szoke's factory Kawasaki team-mate Alex Welsh finished seventh on his Ninja ZX-10R after running as high as third early in the race. The 21-year-old from Uxbridge, Ont. qualified sixth in Pirelli SuperPole but a good start saw him running third at the end of the opening lap.
Welsh's limited Superbike experience saw him dropping back as the race progressed, however, as he struggled to maintain the pace as to tire wear started to set in on his Kawasaki.
"I'm still learning," said last year's HJC Pro Rookie of the Year. "I got a good start and the bike was good for a bit. But I have to learn how to slide the bike more later in the race. I'm still trying to keep it the same as it is on lap six and that's not the way to do it. But I think we'll be up there the rest of the season. I've got a great team behind me and the guys are working hard."
Welsh is now sixth in the Superbike point standings with 79 but just seven points out of third.
Szoke regained the lead of the Yoshimura Pro Sport Bike Championship with his second win of the season at Race City on Sunday. Despite a mid-race red flag stoppage that erased a four-second lead Szoke was able to control the eight-lap second part to win by 0.085 secs.
"You never like to see anybody get hurt and I know we have to protect out racers, but I have to admit I was kind of upset about having to restart a second time," admitted the three-time defending class champion. "I had such a good lead and I was in a groove. The bike was phenomenal."
On the restart Szoke again got the lead before the end of the first lap but this time had company all the way. He stayed cool under pressure, however, and overcame a last minute challenge for the top spot to take the win.
"I thought I might be able to do the same in the second race and break away but it's tough here," admitted Szoke, who also qualified on pole. "It's nice if you can break the draft but I couldn't manage it again after the restart."
His win gives Szoke a nine-point lead in the Pro Sport Bike standings with 155 points.
Welsh took third place at Race City on his Ninja ZX-6R, his best career national finish and his first ever podium appearance. He was fourth after the opening lap of the restart but took third on lap three and pulled away from his pursuers.
"I was stuck in fourth when the red flag came out and I thought I had waited too long to make a move," he explained. "I didn't want to do that in the second race so I got up there as early as I could and after that just put my head down.
"This is an awesome feeling. I wouldn't be here without my family; it's been a long road to get here. And I can't thank the Kawasaki team enough. They gave me a once in a lifetime chance."
Welsh is now fourth in Pro Sport Bike points with 98, just one point out of third.
The Canadian Kawasaki Motors factory team resumes its 2009 Parts Canada Superbike season at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ont. July 17-19 for the traditional mid-season doubleheader.

Well, I'm gonna tell you what happened on the days that I really felt were eventful.
May 22nd. Mr. Hubby and I had the chance to go on another mini honeymoon. We got this great deal to stay at Pullman Hotel, so we chose to go to the one in Putrajaya for 3 days and 2 nights. I must say we were lucky to get a room facing the lake. The scene from the room was splendid!
The view from our balcony
A view of the hotel
Mr. Hubby and Mrs. Fatty Me
May 26th. I had my checkup with Dr. Idora. This checkup was a bit different from my previous checkups where Dr. Idora performed what I call the 'finger' examination. Ala, the type of examination where the doctor measures how much a pregnant lady has dilated. Not sure what I am talking about? Ala, go google it lah :p I was pretty much excited about it. New experience lah katakan.. It didn't really hurt like what my colleagues told me. Well, maybe it's a different experience for different people.
May 27th. I was at the office completing my work, hoping that they would finish before my baby's due date. Anyway I was feeling a bit weird that day after the 'finger examination'. After lunch, I noticed there were extra discharge and I didn't feel good about it. Colleagues around me urged that I should go to the hospital. Yatt took the trouble to drive me to the hospital and waited for almost 2 hours until I completed the checkup. Luckily I was not ready for labor. The nurse in charge performed the 'finger' examination and said my opening was only about 1 cm. She advised me to go home.
May 28th. From just mere clear-pinkish discharge, it turned to be period-like discharge. I was really nervous. I spent the night at the labor room whereby I was placed under observation. Minor contractions started to take place (well, even though they were minor, they were painful ok!) Dr. Idora was away on leave, so I was put under Dr. Premitha's supervision instead. She came the next morning and had me examined. The opening was still 1 cm. So I went home that Sunday morning.
May 29th. I really couldn't sleep that night. My abdomen was aching like every 10 minutes the entire night. I wondered what sort of pain it could be. But never in my mind would I think it was the early stage of labor pain.
May 30th. That morning I woke up feeling drowsy, tired and in pain. I told my mom I felt like passing motion but I couldn't. She said I should go to the hospital. Luckily Mr. Hubby decided to take EL. After being examined by the nurse, she confirmed that the opening was already 5cm. "You're ready for labor, Sharifah!" The nervous feeling was no more at that time.. it was more to 'come what may' mode.
So 12 hours in labor room.. and at about 10.30 pm, Zara Soraya was born. I never thought that 'Zara Soraya' would really exist in my life, but thank Allah, she's here. And what's more important, she's mine :)
"Hello World!"
I would like to thank my parents, siblings and friends (especially Yatt, Caah, Aween, Kak Nedd, Kak Wahida, Zamila and Ziadora) who helped me when I was going through my pregnancy. It was a great and a fun journey. Zara was really strong inside me, even though when I was chasing Dayabumi's elevator or the LRT or doing brisk walking.
I am now near to the end of my confinement (which I think I'm gonna miss!). Thanks Mak Abah for taking care of me and the baby, thanks Ain, Aishah and Ozal for helping me watching over Zara, and thanks Mr. Hubby too for going through the sleepless nights with me.I'm not sure if I'm gonna miss not being able to sleep, but I surely don't wanna miss watching Zara grow.
Oh well, motherhood's here to stay..~

There have been a lot of questions asked recently about the quality of refereeing, in the Premier League and all over Europe. But if officials had more technology on their side, these questions could be eradicated.
Football is worlds behind other sports in terms of technological decision systems. Of course, goal-line technology was a huge step forward for football as a whole, it was introduced to the Premier League at the start of last season and it's gone down brilliantly.
However, decisions like penalties and sending offs are still left solely down to the officials and to be honest, at times, they struggle.
Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock spoke out on the matter Monday night after they were denied a penalty early in the game when Fraizer Campbell was brought down in the box.
A decision like this is where the officials need help, the referee in the game at Selhurst Park, Phil Dowd, was obviously unable to see the incident clearly and the linesman must have had the same problem too.

- Vido Loncar attacks referee after losing amateur fight
- Romeo Mitrovic filmed punching referee in Bosnia
If there was an official sat in front of a computer in the stands looking back the incident, the referee could simply ask for a second opinion on the situation.
Now, of course, if a system like this was implemented into the game, it would have to be limited in order to prevent the match from becoming too stop-start. Maybe a system could be in place where the manager of both teams has one or two appeals a game.
Nonetheless, this was a worry when goal-line technology was introduced to the fast flowing football of the Premier League, but that has turned out perfectly fine and doesn't hinder the game whatsoever.
Another advantage of this system is that money is not a dilemma as there was with goal-line technology. It wouldn't cost anywhere near as much to enforce this scheme and this just adds to the surprise that it hasn't already been introduced.
It would prevent officials from being slaughtered in the post-match reviews and stop complaints from players and managers during the match, as they know the decision given was the correct one.
Maybe some time in the future, a system like this will be in place and honestly, it's starting to feel like it's a matter of when, not if. It just seems that in this day and age, with the technology on offer, it would be stupid to continue to not take advantage of it.

I didn't get the red plum insert on Sunday I live in Texas. Also went to Walgreens and they said they had changed their coupon policy stating that if you use register rewards to pay for a product that will reward you register rewards you will not receive those register rewards.
This is off of the walgreens website. If they have changed it, they haven't updated their website yet. I would take a copy of this with you the next time you go! :)

On the b1g1 schick razors are you able to use a coupon on the free item like you're able to at CVS?

Mr 2kay is back again with yet another song of the year. I guess the name Mr 2kay is not new to us because he's been dropping hits back to back.
He's the crooner of the Bad Girl Special (BGS) which features Patoranking in the original version and Cynthia Morgan X Seyi Shay in the Remix.
Although Mr 2kay have had some good singles in the past, but it was actually the "Bad Girl Special Remix that brought him to the limelight in 2015.
The song gave him an edge in the music industry both in Nigeria and Africa. He's was nominated in the just concluded HEADIES AWARDS, the song came out in three different categories.
Even if he win didn't any of the categories, the nominations alone has brought respect and added more value to Mr 2kay's brand.
Mr 2kay has had hits like Bubugaga, Kosi Were, Who no like better thing, Moniegram which features the one and only Egberi Papa1 and CEO of Dem Mama Records Mr Timaya.
The song Moniegram and Who No Like Better Thing got massive airplays both on Radio and TV stations.
Now Mr 2kay is out with a brand new single, both audio and video. The jam titled " Count It All Joy" is off his about to released EP titled Count It All Joy, the song was titled after his soon to be released EP.
This is actually Mr 2kay's second album. The first album was titled "Waterside Boy" and that album introduced him to the music/ entertainment industry in Nigeria especially in the Garden City of Port Harcourt where Mr 2Kay was born and brought up, but recently move to Lagos because Lagos is the centre of the entertainment industry in Nigeria.
The song talks about his struggle during the hardship of when he was still up and coming in the music scene and where he is right now.
Music lovers, DJ's clubs and Radio stations, go get this dope tune and add it up to your playlist.
The song can be played in Nigeria, Africa and Globally in both radio and TV stations and there's no viewers discretion because it has no sex explicit. It's meant for everyone.

Judith N. Shklar
Judith N. Shklar
|September 17, 1992 (aged 63)
|Alma mater
|McGill University
Harvard University
|Scientific career
|Political science
|Harvard University
Judith Nisse Shklar (September 24, 1928 – September 17, 1992) was a political theorist, and worked at Harvard University as the John Cowles Professor of Government.
Judith Shklar was born in Riga, Latvia to Jewish parents who fled there from World War II when she was thirteen. She graduated from McGill University and received B.A and M.A. degrees in 1949 and 1950. She received her Ph.D degree from Harvard University in 1955.
After graduation, Shklar became a faculty member at Harvard University and spent her entire academic career there. She was the first tenured woman in Harvard's Government Department. She was also president of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy and the first woman president of the American Political Science Association (1989–1990).
She was a renowned teacher and advisor, and many of her former students contributed to a volume of essays on her thought, Liberalism Without Illusions, edited by Bernard Yack. Among her celebrated former students are Amy Gutmann, Patrick T. Riley, Nancy Rosenblum, Bernard Yack, Rogers Smith, Melissa Williams, and Tracy Strong.
Shklar's thought centered on two main ideas. The first being that cruelty is the worst evil, which she touches on in her essay The Liberalism of Fear (1989) and elaborates more fully in Putting Cruelty First, an essay in Ordinary Vices. Her second main idea concerns the "liberalism of fear" and is founded on her view that cruelty is the worst evil and that governments are prone to abuse the "inevitable inequalities in power" that result from political organization. Based on these views she advocates constitutional democracy,[1] which she sees as flawed, but still the best form of government possible, because it protects people from the abuses of the more powerful by restricting government and by dispersing power among a "multiplicity of politically active groups" [2]
Shklar stated that "Every adult should be able to make as many effective decisions without fear or favor about as many aspects of his or her life as is compatible with the like freedom of every adult" and that this "is the original and only defensible meaning of liberalism" [2]
She described rights less as absolute moral liberties and more as licenses which citizens must have in order to protect themselves against abuse.
Shklar was deeply interested in injustice and political evils. She claimed that "philosophy fails to give injustice its due," that is, most past philosophers have ignored injustice and talked only about justice, likewise they have ignored vice and only talked about virtue. In Ordinary Vices and The Faces of Injustice Shklar attempts to fill this gap in philosophical thought, drawing heavily on literature as well as philosophy to argue that injustice and the "sense of injustice" are historically and culturally universal, and are very important for modern political and philosophical theory.
Professor Shklar wrote many influential books and articles on political science including:
- After Utopia: The Decline of Political Faith (1957)
- Legalism: Law, Morals, and Political Trials (Harvard University Press, 1964, ISBN 0-674-52351-2)
- Men and Citizens: A Study of Rousseau's Social Theory (1969)
- Freedom and Independence: A Study of the Political Ideas of Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind (1976)
- Ordinary Vices (1984) – A collection of six essays on the ordinary vices of cruelty, hypocrisy, snobbery, betrayal, and misanthropy.
- Montesquieu (1987) – An introduction to the thought of Montesquieu.
- The Faces of Injustice (1990) – Three essays on injustice: "Giving Injustice Its Due," "Misfortune and Injustice," and "The Sense of Injustice."
- American Citizenship: The Quest for Inclusion (1991).
Several of her essays, including the "classic" [3] The Liberalism of Fear, have been collected in two posthumous volumes from the University of Chicago Press, Political Thought and Political Thinkers, edited by Stanley Hoffmann (1998), and Redeeming American Political Thought.

Case study of debris flow disaster scenario caused by torrential rain on Kiyomizu-dera, Kyoto, Japan - using Hyper KANAKO system
Abstract This paper presents debris-flow numerical simulations using the Hyper KANAKO system, developed by the authors. The system uses the debris flow simulator KANAKO 2D equipped with a graphical user interface (GUI); hence, a user can easily produce appropriate landform data for simulations using standard laser profiler data, and visualize the results using a GIS. Hyper KANAKO was applied to the streams around Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, Japan. Kiyomizu-dera is a famous temple in Japan which is visited by numerous tourists throughout the year. We simulated a disaster scenario of debris flow caused by torrential rain. We set the hydrograph using rainfall intensity data, and set the landform data using information from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) and a digital elevation model (DEM). We evaluated different mesh sizes and also used a digital surface model (DSM) to consider the building heights. The simulation results showed that with small mesh size, the debris flow moved through the roads, which seems realistic for a disaster situation. When buildings were considered, the flow direction changed, and a 1-m flow depth, which was deeper than in other cases, appeared in the flow path. This may pose a dangerous situation for evacuations.

Hi Nuala - As a first-time blogger I'm leaving my first comment on your page! You have been selected, you lucky thing! :)
While I'm here and nosing around your Christmas reading list, I'd like to recommend a couple of books that I read during the year that I think you might enjoy. The first is called 'The God of Animals.' It's an excellent debut novel by American writer Aryn Kyle. The second is 'Tenderwire' by Claire Kilroy, who I think is an extremely fresh and original talent on the Irish scene. I received her latest in my Christmas stocking and can't wait to get down to reading it!

Hi Tanya
Welcome to blog land. Be warned - it can become addictive!
I've read one of Claire's books and I have Tenderwire on my shelf as a 'to read'. There aren't enough hours in the day for all the books I have lined up to get through.
Happy New Year!

Below is the story my husband posted on Facebook today.
Well Facebook family looks like today's the day I share my story…
Some of you know my story but I know many of you do not. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver in 2010 and given 5 to 10 years. Rhonda and I have done everything we know to do to try to heal my liver. We've spent thousands and thousands of dollars and hours and hours trying.
One HUGE plus of this whole journey is we learned about Kangen Water. We believe Kangen Water, an organic diet, infrared sauna, exercise, organic supplements, IV therapy, etc etc and of course the grace of God has kept me in fairly good shape. The problem is nothing has reversed the damage that was done from 25 years of hepatitis C.
So… that's why I'm in need of a liver transplant. Rhonda tried to help me but they denied her for age. The age requirement is between 21 and 50 and she is 58. We've also had a handful of other people apply to be a living donor most of which were denied for one reason or another.
Less than 10% of the people that apply are approved. It's a very strict process but then again that's why Penn University Hospital in Philadelphia has over 99% success with this procedure. We still have 3 people in the testing process but would certainly welcome more.
I want to get the word out that you can be a LIVING liver donor. Surgeons will remove part of your liver and give it to the one in need and both people will have a full liver in 90 days.
The main thing I want to accomplish by sharing my story is two fold. First I want to be a voice for all the people out there like me that need a liver transplant. Not many people are aware that there is a LIVING liver donor program so I want to do everything possible to get the word out. And thank you to our dear friend from Victory Church, Anne Shannon, for getting my story on WGAL.
And second and MOST important is I want to give ALL the glory to God. This is not about me… He has brought me to this point for a reason. My life was such a mess before I gave my life to Jesus Christ. He has changed EVERYTHING in my life and I now live every day with purpose and passion. As a Christ follower, I have peace and joy even in the midst of a storm. As far a my healing, I know I WILL be healed whether it's through a liver transplant or when I get to heaven and get my new body for eternity.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and thank you to the love of my life for walking through every day of this journey with me. I love you Rhonda with all my heart. ❤

Inventorying My Stuff
This year, one of my minimalist goals is to further reduce my items. I want to eventually live out of a backpack, and although, that's way down the road, I want way less stuff to make moving easier. I'm constantly moving place to place. I've had 16 addresses, and I'm only 20 years old. I'm sick of lugging baggage around with me everywhere that I go.
When sitting down and evaluating my goals for 2016, I thought about my 2015 minimalist challenge. How I have gotten loads and loads off of my shoulders in just one year. I know I still have a lot of stuff that I would like to part with because I am not satisfied. I still feel weighed down. I didn't want another challenge of going through each area and minimizing. I needed a new approach.
So, I decided to start inventorying stuff. I wanted to list out everything I owned, so I could read a list and evaluate that way. It was too much work going through things and touching items. Items have a way of convincing you that they should stay. ( tweet this ) So, I went through all my things and made a spreadsheet.
I don't know how "50%" came to mind. Maybe I felt that getting rid of 50% of my things would literally lift half the weight off of my shoulders. So, my goal this year is to get rid of 50% of my things.
Inventorying My Things
What I Didn't Count
I didn't count items that were shared between my fiance and I. I have no right to take the box filled with our kitchen supplies and get rid of it without consulting him first. This year, I just want to focus on me. I'll tackle shared items another time. Maybe when we live by ourselves again and he realizes that we're carrying around four boxes of kitchen gadgets that we hardly use, he'll be more reasonable.
I didn't count my fiance's items.
I didn't count every single tiny thing. If there was a stack of paper, that counted as one because I didn't want to waste time counting every single sheet.
My Personal Inventory
Here are the different categories of my things and the numbers. My overall number was 417 items.
Clothes: 142 Books: 20 Electronics: 38 Misc: 75 Hygiene: 68 Cats: 10 Paper: 36 Furniture: 3 Linen: 25
It seems like such a small number compared to people with thousands of items, but to me it's still weighing me down. I don't want to think about these items anymore. I don't know if I'll reach 50% this year. It might end up being 20% or 80% and that's okay. The 50% is not set in stone, it is a guideline. I'll stop when I am happy.
Have you ever took inventory on your things?
