On Saturday my task was to bring food out to the runway station. The runway houses all the C-17s, C-130s, Hercs and science planes. One scientist explained to me how he was doing Ross Sea survey via his plane and sonar. They will use satellite measurements to verify their survey. The sonar is useful because it can penetrate through the ice, which can be a couple miles thick in some areas. Once they get a depth reading with corresponding coordinates (GPS) and record all the information with data loggers. Back in the lab they can unravel all the numbers with cartography software (GIS) and create digital elevation maps of the sea floor beneath the ice. Anyways...
On our way we saw Erebus puffing a bit.
It's amazing how last year this exact same galley was 2 miles North of us at the Willy Field airfield. Nothing lasts on the Ice without skis.
The back of the beloved cook truck.
First thing we do is unload and unpack.
I check out the line and make sure it's clean, put ice in the ice bath, turn on the steam-tray line, etc.
Since Saturday was Turkey burger day I brought out onions, tomatoes, and lettuce to slice.
Let's eat.
Haha my fork-antena rig job is still in operation.
The view from runway.
The big red building below is the runway kitchen, dining room, and morgue.
A splendid day on the Ice :)
Upon arriving back to the station I grab a bite to eat of the eggplanta strata, delicious!
After work I made my way to the gym. What do some do on their day off... play frisby in 20 degrees.
The gym is more eco-friendly this year. In fact, the entire station is way more eco-friendly. I will do an entire post on McMurdo's conservation efforts.
Volcanic dust eh?
Late Night Boxing has started again. Saturday nights I get the gym all to myself.
Next morning my task in the kitchen is to make homemade mac n' cheese :)
20 lbs. of dry elbow macaroni... cooked in a 60 gallon steam kettle.
I plan to make the cheese sauce out of three different cheeses: swiss, havarti, and gouda.
Messes are attracted to me, or am I attracted to them?
Remember this side dish has to be for 1,000 people. I plan to make 22 2-inch hotel pans.
I layer it as following: scoop of macaroni and cheese sauce, shredded cheese, another scoop of macaroni and cheesesauce, shredded cheese, broken up potato chips, lots more shredded cheese, and top it with paprika and finely chopped chives (or you can use parsley).
After it is baked I put it into the shams (hot boxes) to stay warm.
There she is.
With that we had salamon...
Brisket with rosemary sauce.
Walnut brownies.
Peach Cheesecake Pie.
After work my sous chef tells me she is going to be out tomorrow. She tells me we are all out of fresh vegetables and tomorrow is stir fry night. She points out that the menu calls for a sweet and sour seiten stir fry of some sort. Everyone except Leon is new to the PM crew... she said I'm in charge. I dug through our freezer, if lucky there should be enough frozen veggies to piece together a chicken and seiten stir fry tomorrow. We will be cutting it close on our ration of shrimp (150 lbs.), but have leftover brisket, chicken, and mac n' cheese. Ontop of that we have to get the place cleaned up for the food inspector who is comming shortly and prep for tomorrow. I'm excited. On my way out of the kitchen I saw the first Skua of the season.
Did I mention that it's currently -5 degrees with windchill and snowing?

Vainglory 5v5 Hails the Arrival of 'No Compromises' Gaming on Mobile
Vainglory is celebrating the launch of their new 5v5 mode on February 13th, as the only undiluted, no-compromises MOBA on mobile. To that end, they've entered into two strategic partnerships that will boost their dominance in the esports domain in 2018 and beyond. As Vainglory heads into its biggest esports year yet, a partnership with ESP Gaming will bring the top-tier league of Vainglory Esports, reintroduced today as the Vainglory Premier League, to a new home in Las Vegas.
ESP Gaming is the world's premier competitive gaming content company with experience producing world-class events including the Olympics, X Games, NFL and World Series of Poker. Having recently onboarded a number of esports veterans, ESP Gaming will make Vainglory its flagship production title for mobile esports in its new, state-of-the-art Vegas studio. In addition, Super Evil Megacorp is partnering with Razer, with their gamer-first devices and peripherals. If you want to try other online games, see the catalog from the bingo game developers. "Super Evil and Razer share a common belief that gaming is coming to mobile fast and hard" said Tom Moss, GM and SVP of Mobile at Razer. "Vainglory's fast-paced gameplay, required precision and stunning graphics truly shine on the Razer Phone, and core gamers no longer need to sacrifice anything when playing on a mobile device."
And concerning ESP Gaming, Jeff Liboon had this to say:
"We're excited to work together with Super Evil Megacorp as the exclusive production partner for Vainglory Esports and bring our player-focused storytelling to fans of the world's ultimate MOBA title on mobile," said Jeff Liboon, President of ESP Gaming. "We are leveraging decades of live sports and gaming expertise to create the best esports content for one of the most passionate fan bases in all of gaming."
Building on the momentum of a successful World Championship in Singapore, the inaugural season of the Vainglory Premier League will commence in June this year. The regular season will follow an extended preseason designed to give Vainglory Esports organizations sufficient opportunity to transition and expand their 3v3 player rosters to accommodate 5V5 play. The new Vainglory Premier League will evolve the Vainglory Esports structure and schedule, moving to a double-round-robin with midseason and end-of-season playoffs, along with a single relegation tournament and regional championships will qualify teams for the annual World Championship.
"We built Vainglory with the firm belief that mobile audiences deserve game experiences every bit as amazing as players have on PC and console, and that remains our mission," said Kristian Segerstrale, CEO of Super Evil Megacorp. "A short time ago, being able to run Vainglory 5V5 at 120 FPS on a device like the Razer Phone with a breathtaking map, 3M+ polygons and more than 200 million actors with custom animations was unheard of. However, it's now reality, and we can't wait to share it with the world."

Armenta Dental Studio Testimonials
Jerry - United States
"To date had one root canal and three implants. My experience has been very positive. Dr. Benjamin is a nice person who treats you with respect and courtesy. As a marginal Spanish speaker, it was great to be able to communicate with him in English. His clinic is modern, tasteful and clean. His assistants are courteous and pleasant. I was referred by a friend and didn't price shop, so really don't know how is prices compare with other PVR dentists, but I was happy with the value. This is a great place to have dental work done in Puerto Vallarta. They work hard to get you in promptly and to accommodate your schedule. The work I have had done over the past two winters has been excellent. The clinic is very modern and the equipment is state of the art. Like most people, I don't enjoy going to the dentist, but if you have to go, this is a great place to have work done."
Callie McHarg - British Columbia. Canada
"I am so happy with the results, I'm smiling. The doctor arranged his schedule to fit me in while I was in the country. The clinic is immaculate and everyone was friendly, polite and helpful. The prices were as quoted, about 1/3 the cost in Canada. I would highly recommend going there if you need any dental or denture work. The savings will pay for the trip."
John Williams
"Excellent service from Sondra at the front desk to all other staff we encountered. Modern equipment and office. Dr. Ben is bilingual and very personable and explains your procedure precisely in clearly understandable language. I don't know how prices compare to other local dentist's but, compared to US prices he is very affordable. Go there."
Larry J. - Oregon, USA
"I have had several appointments with Dr. Benjamin Armenta during two visits to Puerto Vallarta in the last year. Benjamin installed crowns on most of my upper teeth and the remainder of my lower teeth. Additionally he provided me with a partial lower denture. I am extremely pleased with all the work. My teeth have never looked so good. The partial is so comfortable that I forget it's there. If you are thinking about having dental work in Puerto Vallarta, I highly recommend Dr. Armenta."
Mandy Williams
"I cannot say enough good things about Dr Armenta and the staff here. He over extends himself for his patients and is not only very professional, but very personable. So grateful to have found this place!"

Lee Harrington is an award-winning, critically-acclaimed author and musician who divides her time between New York City, Woodstock, and–when she is lucky—the south of France. Her memoir, Rex and the City: True Tales of a Rescue Dog Who Rescued a Relationship (published by Random House and now available in enhanced eBook edition) is hailed as "the best human with dog memoir you'll ever read." Her forthcoming books include two novels (The Expatriate's Guide to Heartbreak and Secrets in Motion); a memoir about her experiences living in a tent at a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center after losing her husband, apartment, job and beloved dog (entitled, for now, In Tents); a four-volume young-adult fantasy series (which seems to be writing itself at the moment); and a second volume of Rex and the City. Lee is also working on a screenplay based on two Edith Wharton short stories. And that's just her day job.
At night, Lee is lead singer in various rock bands. In 2012 she is recording her first CD—a companion CD to The Expatriate's Guide to Heartbreak, with eleven songs based on characters, lines and deleted chapters from that novel. Lee is also a kirtan walli and has lead kirtans throughout the East Coast. She leads chants from the Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Sufi and Native American traditions and continues to study mantra, chanting, and sacred sound with masters from many traditions.
Also at night, Lee teaches creative writing at New York University and studies graphic design, sound healing and energy medicine.
Sometimes she has to wake up extra early in order to compose essays, stories, columns and blogs—which have appeared in such publications as Salon, Huffington Post, Poets and Writers, One for the Table and The Bark as well as in various fiction and non-fiction anthologies. For the past decade she has been an Editor-at-Large and contributor at Bark magazine.
Her other hobbies include Kundalini yoga, painting, samurai sword, and graphic design.
She considers it a great gift to be able to do what she loves, and aspires to give back to the world in some meaningful way. Thus, Lee always gives 10% of her book, music, and art proceeds to animal rescue.

However, in light of the xenophobic tendencies of American politicians following the attacks, it's worth noting that in the US in 2015, toddlers have been responsible for more shootings, and shooting deaths, than terrorists.
Since the beginning of 2015 there have been 52 toddler involved shooting incidents in the US. According to the Washington Post:
"In 2015 so far, at least 13 toddlers have inadvertently killed themselves with firearms, 18 more injured themselves, 10 injured other people, and two killed other people."
When that article was published on Oct 14th, there had only been 43 toddler shooting incidents. Since then, there have been 9 more, with an average of one toddler involved shooting a week.
Yet, in this year's only shooting involving Islamic terrorists in Chattanooga, Tennessee, five people died, with two additional people being injured.
As the New York Times reports, toddler shooting incidents "are among the most gut-wrenching of gun deaths. Children shot accidentally -- usually by other children -- are collateral casualties of the accessibility of guns in America, their deaths all the more devastating for being eminently preventable."
These stats are just for toddlers though and could very well be inaccurate, as incidents involving children and guns often don't get reported.
Twenty Democratic senators believe there needs to be drastic improvement in this area. Democratic Senator Patty Murray wrote a letter to the U.S. Government Accountability Office demanding action on toddler shootings with the same intensity and level of resources we devote to "fighting terrorism."
Not only does she emphasize incidents of toddler shootings, but she also draws attention to the fact that "each day on average, 55 people kill themselves with a firearm and 46 people are shot or killed in an accident with a gun."
This all leads to an interesting question. As a nation, have we made a decision to accept collateral deaths when it comes to choosing between access to firearms and enacting more stringent gun legislation? It would seem so.
Mass shootings in the US are not a rare occurrence and yet, we have done little to nothing to stop them.
In addition, because we have made access to guns so easy, we have negated the ability of the Obama administration fully minimize the risk of a terrorist attack similar to Paris. So before we refuse to accept refugees who are fleeing violence that has killed more individuals each day for the past 3 years than those that were killed in Paris, we should first think about how to minimize our own citizen on citizen violence.

Since the post about Matthew Dear's remix of The XX I went on to dig for a 7 inch only remix he did for Colder from 2005. This is one of the first hints at Matthew doing guitar/organic feeling based material and pulling back on the electronics which just sounded natural to have him work with.
Yesterday jonathan suggested I check out The Mary Onettes and i'm glad I did, it opened up a 4am search thru sugary Swedish post rock on iTunes. If you liked The Radio Dept. than this might be right up your alley.
After just releasing their LP Real Estate comes up with an smaller release of material that is LP worthy. The band keeps its laid back sun-dyed feel, so if you loved the LP than this is a must have.
Keepaway got a good grade on Pitchfork's forkcast/song review because the song is great I think but it also came with a lesson which is if you rip off Animal Collective your gonna get called out hard so maybe adjust a few things so you can be your own idea and not someone else's, its like the handful of ISO50 rip offs i've seen on the innernets, yikes, I can say it because some are just too blatant in my eyes.

Cool tunes. Labrador's "Swedes Do It Better" comp first exposed me to the Mary Onettes. It's a great compilation of… well… Swedish music ;)
The Mathew Dear remix is quite shiny!
Ben says:January 29, 2010 at 5:33 pm
That Mary Onettes album is so off the chain. Thanks, that made my day.
doc says:January 29, 2010 at 5:44 pm

Joe says:January 29, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Heh heh, kinda how tycho got called out hard for ripping off bords of canada! still like the music but just sayin. :)

Joe –
that's only said by people that don't listen to music closely, Boards Of Canada is so dark I can't even pretend to hear the similarities.
christian says:January 30, 2010 at 10:50 am
that song may just be better than anything ive heard from animal collective. fuck PF.
AndresM says:January 30, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Any guy who wants to win a girls heart? Play them the Mary Onettes. One of the best albums of 07 fo-SHO!
This reminds me! I never got around to their album from last year. gotta get on that!
AndresM says:January 30, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Listen to Anonymous.
That's like saying Poison ripped of Twisted Sister. Or Ratt ripped of W.A.S.P. Or Boards of Canada ripped off LFO. Or Taylor Swift ripped off Kelly Clarkson!
Your comment sounds ignorant dude. Jus sayin.
jonathan says:January 30, 2010 at 7:15 pm
thrilled you enjoy The Mary Onettes.
if you liked their 07 debut you won't be disappointed by their latest. get to it!
joe says:January 30, 2010 at 10:56 pm
ah, the expected defense of anon and andres.I'm obviously not the first to bring it up. The public has spoken up about in the past. It's undeniable the similarities, especially past is prologue which not as dark as boc, but still darker than the newer tycho stuff.that album sounds very much influenced by boc's album music has the right to children. each time I hear roygbiv I think tycho musta been listening to that track on repeat during his production. not trying to start shit, just thought it was a relavant comment. I love joy division and despite interpol's obvious appropriations, I still eat it up. i think tycho's sound has evolved into something tat is more his own sound and I enjoy it nevertheless. :-D
Matt Reid says:January 31, 2010 at 5:52 am
The Mary Onettes track sounds very similar to A-ha – particularly the singer.
jonathan says:January 31, 2010 at 12:32 pm
eh, kinda. Some compare the sound to Echo & the Bunnymen and R.E.M. I hear A Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears and The Smiths. Their music is like a soundtrack to classic 80's films.
Jakub says:January 31, 2010 at 1:04 pm
Joe –
Do you also compare cars that come out every year and be like damn these all just look like the Model T to me
Cesar says:February 7, 2010 at 11:16 am

Matthew 26:47-50; Mark 14:43-45; Luke 22:47-48; John 18:2-9
Ask different Christians what the chief or worst sin is and you'll get that many different answers. Some will say pride as it was the primal sin of our first parents. Others will say idolatry as that is the breaking of the first commandment. Many will say unbelief as it is faith that saves. Dante placed Judas Iscariot in the lowest place in his Inferno thinking treason the most abhorrent sin. It is really a moot question; after all, "Whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it" (James 2:10). Betrayal (and in this case intentional) of a friend or spouse is the ultimate infidelity. It is playing nice while one plans all along to stab in the back. It is to scheme when one is living close beside you as a trusted friend. It is to make a vow of "keeping only unto him or her" and then keeping unto another in one's mind, soul, or bed. It destroys marriages, families, friendships, and even societies and whole countries. While I cannot call betrayal the worst sin, it is certainly a hurtful and destructive one.
And yet, it's one we've all committed. We've all let others down when we should have lifted them up. We've even schemed against those we secretly hated. I wrote a devotion earlier about Judas (Tuesday, 27th Week) noting how Hollywood movies always seem to paint Judas in a sympathetic light. I said then and say now that I believe this is because we see ourselves in him. It is so easy to become angry, disappointed, quit, lash out, or plan revenge. None of this is the way of our Lord who was patient, kind, and forbearing. I'm not saying that there are not times when we may need to remove ourselves from company that might corrupt our morals or entice us to evil (Proverbs 1:10-19; 1 Corinthians 15:33). But may we all be careful with our relationships for even the grumpiest may look upon you as a trusted friend.
The scene in John's Gospel is truly awesome. Here come these men with clubs and swords and torches ready to do battle against this unarmed prophet. But it is Jesus who takes command of the situation, for the Scriptures must be fulfilled and the Son of God must be glorified. "Whom do you seek," he asks. "Jesus of Nazareth," they reply. "I am he," answers Jesus, and with those words these men draw back and fall to the ground. These men, whether they meant to or not, proclaimed Jesus' deity, for falling down is what people did in the Bible when in the presence of God. Jesus had to say it again before these men recovered enough to bind him. Then like cowards, they abused him. Surely, Judas felt the horror of what he had done at that moment. I too have felt horror at myself. That's why the cross.

Movie Review: Krampus (2015)
Krampus was directed by Michael Dougherty, who previously worked on the screenplays of films such as X-Men 2 and Superman Returns. However, it was with a 2007 feature that never made it to theaters that cemented his career and has led directly to Krampus, that movie is Trick 'R Treat. That was an anthology horror film that may be the best pure Halloween themed film ever. He has now delivered a similarly high quality and entertaining film tackling another holiday. Dougherty co-wrote the movie with Todd Casey (Thundercats, Batman: The Brave and the Bold), and Zach Shields.
The movie opens with a Christmas tune playing over the slow motion of a discount store under attack. Black Friday crowds punching each other's lights out in order to get their hands on a $5 toaster nobody really wants. It is a scene we have seen played out over the past few years with clips captured by cellphones. It is the sort of rush for a toy or a gadget that led to the Schwarzenegger movie Jingle All the Way some years back. Anyway, it culminates with a battle during a nativity play where the main character of this film, young Max (Emjay Anthony, Chef) is punching out a classmate who dared take a shot at the sanctity of the holiday.
Before long, Max is home with his parents (Adam Scott, Toni Collette) and the rest of the clan. Their extended family comes to visit and the kind hearted boy makes a wish for them to celebrate a nice holiday like a family without strife. Of course, this does not work out so well and they are all quickly at each other's throats. Sadly, Max sees his Christmas spirit crushed, and in an act of defiance inadvertently brings down a world of hurt.
Krampus and his helpers arrive in town to claim those who no longer have the spirit of season, ready to make an example of what loss really is. It becomes comedic survival horror. Gremlins crossed with a dash of Evil Dead II. The inhabitants find themselves under siege. One by one, taken by the horned monster outside.
Seriously, this movie is an absolute blast that is not afraid to get batsh*t crazy at times. There are a number of Demonic Toys style creatures hopping around, with the majority of the work being done practically (it is nice not to see everything overloaded with CG). This is a movie that has heart to go along with a bleakness that I cannot say I was expecting. Krampus is a movie that left with a big smile on my face. I loved pretty much everything about it. The characters fill their roles nicely, not always well rounded, but shown to be more than just a collection of stereotypes. Max is a little guy with a big heart, a little like Kevin from Home Alone.
Krampus is a Christmas themed horror comedy that fires on all cylinders. It stands apart from mainstream releases, while welcoming all manner of audiences. It is funny, a little scary, and finishes on a note that I just loved. The creatures were great, and the practical effects work was sublime. This is certainly a film to be added to the holiday rotation.
Highly Recommended.

It feels weird that today is still March, but regardless, I'm wrapping up my budget for this month! As you recall, I'm trying to stick to my resolution to buy only one item a month (with some fine print). The great part for this month was that I earned some income selling a few things online/at the consignment store AND I won $145 in a blog giveaway! (I couldn't believe it when I found out…I was SO excited. Trust me.)
As a result, I used some of this money to cover some purchases and technically didn't spend ANY money out of pocket, and still have $93 to carry over into April! WOO HOO!
Here's what I did get for my March clothing budget:
-Gladiator open toe wedge- DSW– $20 (after DSW Rewards certificate)
-Black booties- DSW– $25
-Maroon print top- Banana Republic via Consignment Store- $11.99
-Pink gingham button up- J. Crew Factory (option, option)- $30
-Versital T/Inga Legging- Fabletics– $5.95 (after member credits); read my review of this outfit here
Side note: I've already worn the pink gingham a few times and LOVE it. It's been on my list for a while and I'm glad I just walked out with that only. There were quite a few other JCF items I was lusting after, but I'll have to wait it out for another 50% off sale.
In terms of sponsorships/partnerships, I received earrings from Majestical (review here) and a pajama set from Adore Me (review here).
As for items on my wish list moving forward, here's where I'm at:
1. Booties
2. Gingham button up shirt
3. White lace tank or tee
4. Colored denim
5. Spring/summer dress for special occasions
6. Floral, patterned or fringe scarf
7. Spring coat (perhaps a trench?)
8. Black casual pants to replace my current pair
9. Wrap/open sweater to replace my current one
And since I feel like I am just purchasing completer or replacement items, I thought it'd be fun to try one of the new services out there that is like Netflix for apparel to add some fun pieces here and there on a "rental" basis. That said, I've decided to try Le Tote and StitchFix. My first Le Tote should be coming soon, and StitchFix doesn't ship until May 13th. I'll definitely compare the two in a Le Tote versus StitchFix battle and let you know which wins! Have you used either? Thoughts/preferences?
How did you do this month?
PS- just a couple reminders:
-Don't forget to enter to win a pair of statement earrings from Majestical! Enter here.
-Grab your sweatpants, yoga pants, shorts, hoodies, t-shirts, you name it! Link up with me TOMORROW (yep, April 1st) for a loungewear link up! It'll be fun, I promise.

Systinet CEO sees three phases for Web servicesThomas Erickson recently took over as president and CEO of Systinet Here in an interview with Infoworld Tom talks about three phases for webservices. Tom explains,"in the first phase people viewed web services as a means for rather than building this API and RPCs with some proprietary protocol, build it using Web services.
In the second phase ,the business services phase, Web service moves to a business service. And the difference here is that people now are starting to say, well, rather than just build these interfaces onto existing applications, we're actually going to design something from the ground up with a notion of reuse, with a notion of providing some real value.
Web services management … is what we call the third phase, and that still needs some more standards to get into play. I mean that needs things like WS-Addressing. So the first phase has just really done Web services and then created some business services. But what they haven't done is helped us with what an SOA's supposed to really be about, which is interoperability between these endpoints or applications, if you want to call them that, to the extent that not everything has to be known by the person building the endpoint at the time they build it.
Tom also explains on the possibility of getting bought out,"The motivation is to try to create some real value in the SOA space because we believe that there's going to be a play, and we're going to use [Systinet] as kind of the vehicle to achieve that. We believe that there's an opportunity that when a paradigm shift happens there is an opportunity for a new company to emerge. If you go through time you can see this repeatedly again. There has been a new major player in the software industry appearing when there's paradigm shifts because some of the older players fail to make the transition, whether it's in the hardware transition from mainframes to [minicomputers] to micros, whether it's been software transitions from mainframe to client/server to all along the way. Because [however] Pincus was involved in BEA, they're the company that funded BEA, they have a similar vision -- [that] we can do this again.

Smithworks Brewing Company
Over the past decade our palates and the beer we drink have developed into a league all of their own. Beer is no longer just a beverage of the working class but a culinary element that not only may be used as an ingredient but something more akin to wine as you may now attend multi-course meals that sees each course being paired with a multitude of brews.
Ontario's sixty-some microbreweries or craft breweries account for more than 30 per cent of Ontario's brewery industry and you can expect that amount to rise greatly in the coming weeks as Peterborough is now home to the new Smithworks Brewing Company. This recently opened, family operated brewery features an elegantly rustic tasting room with full view of the brewing floor giving you a true taste of the craft brewing experience as you watch the beer making process roll out from start to finish.
International award winning Brewmaster Graham Smith produces an exceptionally high quality beer made using premium malts, hops and yeast, in small batches to ensure maximum freshness and taste. I had the fortunate opportunity of discussing the Smithworks Brewing process with their brewmaster and I learned that Graham is overtly passionate about the beer he chooses to brew and the process by which he executes its production.
Smithworks Brewing Company has released their inaugural beer "Hefeweizen".
This German style white beer is named Hefeweizen as it translates as "Hefe" meaning yeast and "Weizen" wheat. Hefeweizen is a top fermented, unfiltered, bottle conditioned wheat beer with a visible yeast sediment and a cloudy appearance.
Smithworks Brewing Company's Hefeweizen is an exceptionally easy drinking beer. Personally I know that a non-beer drinker may change over after having a nip of Hefeweizen. I found it to be a fresh tasting, effervescent beer that is easily quaffed as the bready, spicy and somewhat fruity aromas fill your head.
The spicy notes are naturally produced by the phenols and esters engendered by the living yeast that Graham uses in his beer making process which produces flavours of vanilla, coriander and banana. Smithworks Hefeweizen is lightly hopped which eliminates the bitterness and harshness exhibited in other beers. It pairs well with barbecued foods, mild and spicy curries, nachos, grilled chicken and seafood.
Additionally to brewing great beer, which is available for purchase from their retail store located on Rye Street in Peterborough, Smithworks Brewing Company accommodates individual clients, or groups interested in educational tours and tastings as well as being able to organize group events.
Whether you are heading to the cottage or just taking it easy this weekend there is a good chance you'll be reaching for a cold one so why not make it a Hefeweizen from Smithworks Brewing Company and maybe try using it in the following beer batter recipe. Smithworks Brewery is located at 687 Rye St Peterborough. Drive down to the end of the building on the right. They are located in the last unit #6
Hefeweizen Batter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
½ tsp minced garlic
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups Hefeweizen
In a small mixing bowl add flour, egg, garlic p, and black pepper. Stir in 1 cup of the beer and use the remaining ½ cup beer to adjust the batter to obtain your desired texture. Lightly flour your foods to be battered before dipping them in the batter. Fry your battered foods between 350 ° f-365 °f. Yields 2 cups of batter.

Those who work in the welding industry are truly unique individuals. Often working in environments with extremely high temperatures, welders have mastered the skills of joining two pieces of metal with precision.
Working indoors or outdoors in all weather conditions and often at heights well above street level, welders continue to build the structures of tomorrow.
Welding often produces molten metal sparks that injure thousands of workers annually. If you are in this profession, there are specially-designed boots for welding that protect your feet from severe burns and falling heavy materials. Complete with added metatarsal guards, these work boots protect your feet throughout the day.
We have decided that the Dr. Martens Men's Ironbridge MG ST Boot is the best one for those who are in this industry.

The moisture-wicking capabilities of these boots remove moisture and keep your feet dry and cool throughout the day, even in high-temperature welding shops.
The padded collar with a pull-on loop to the rear works well when wearing leggings, making a tight, comfortable fit. The extra-thick, cross-grooved outsole provides for good traction on all surfaces from shop floors to dispatched outdoor locations.
The extra metatarsal protection on this Ironbridge MG ST welder's boot is secured by rivets, holding them firmly in place with no side-to-side shifting or lifting.
The iconic Dr. Martens's contrasting stitching is a nice touch, accenting the overall quality of these well-made welding work boots. Its removable Agion Antibacterial Smartmask-treated insole keeps your feet fresher even after a very long and tiring day, too.

3. Iron Age Men's Ground Breaker IA5016 Work Boot
Anyone who is familiar with the Iron Age knows that no matter how tough that time was, men were tougher. They faced a lot of challenges and innovated on what they had.
These Ground Breaker IA5016 work boots represent a legacy of hard work that has been carried forward to this day. The boots are as tough as the men who lived in those times.
Made from durable full-grain leather in the traditional 6-inch height styling, these work boots from Iron Age offer superior protection from falling objects that are often a leading cause of foot injuries in welding shops.
Combined with a roomier and well-structured steel toe box, these work boots are not only oil- and slip-resistant but offer good comfort throughout the day, too.
The high temperatures in welding shops often make feet sweaty and uncomfortable. The boots' moisture-wicking nylon mesh lining removes moisture from your feet, keeping them at a comfortably dry level that makes wearing these boots a pleasure.
The metatarsal guard on these boots is fastened at the front of the boot, making it unique. Fastened to the boot on all sides with rivets, it virtually eliminates the possibility of the metatarsal guard tearing away from the boot. It is a really nice feature that works.
The affordability factor of these boots is better than average. Priced below or, in some cases, equal to other competing styles, these may well be the best welding boots available.
It should be noted that the popularity of these work boots has drawn the attention of other construction trades as well, including concrete and mason workers, as well as electricians.
- Removable EVA cushion insert for adjustable comfort levels.
- Kevlar stitching for rugged wear.
- The rubber outsole is thick and tough.
- It features a steel shank for greater support and stability.
- Meets and exceeds all pre-set ASTM safety standards.
- Its arch support is too high.

The side zipper is a nice feature, too, that's not offered in competing models. However, it may represent a safety hazard and a place for burning molten metal fragments to enter if not secured properly.

These work boots are good-looking, perhaps even too good-looking for the rigors of a busy welding shop. These are very affordable when compared to other boots in this company's long line of active footwear.
- Polishable full-grain leather for a professional look.
- It features a full-length cushion sock lining.
- Individually-fitting right and left toe caps.

These work boots may come from a company that's better known for its motorcycles. However, if you can look past the brand and focus on the features, you will see that it deserves its spot in this list of best boots for welders. Click the following link for more information on these well-designed work boots:
5. Caterpillar Men's Ergo Flexguard Boot
This company indeed needs no introduction. Caterpillar is known worldwide for being an industry leader in the manufacture of a wide range of heavy industrial equipment.CAT footwear makes work boots based on strength and integrity. Evolving into a wide range of both industrial and casual footwear, their boots are as tough as the equipment that they build.
The triple-stitched full-grain leather uppers of this Caterpillar Men's Ergo Flexguard Boot protect your feet regardless of your job, from construction to welding and more. The nicely designed and comfortably padded collar and tongue allow for a tighter fit, keeping all debris out of the boots.
The metatarsal guard on most welding boots is made from a rigid material with no flexibility. On these CAT work boots, however, it is flexible, allowing movement when bending or twisting. It is also wider than the guards on other similar styles.
The metatarsal guard sewed into the seam at the toe. This may present a problem if the guard gets caught on something and tear off. The triple stitching at the toe indeed reduces the possibility of damage to the metatarsal guard; however, it should be inspected occasionally after it has been worn for some time.
When worn for welding, these work boots meet and exceed all ASTM safety standards. It is also rated for protection against electrical hazards (EH).
- Nylon mesh lining to keep feet cool and dry.
- It has an Ortholite sock liner.
- Durable rubber heel stabilizer with recessed stitching.
- The stability bridge spans the arch of the foot.
- It has an aggressive, cleated T839 outsole with moisture-wicking capability.
- There is not enough cushion on the boots.
- The metatarsal guard ripped off after only two weeks.
- The lacing eyelets on the boot were loose.
Affordable on even the most stringent budgets, these work boots from Caterpillar are ideal for those who seek quality from a leading manufacturer with a stellar reputation. Besides its good looks, these work boots will also give you peace of mind knowing that your feet are well-protected.
The Importance of Wearing Proper Welding Boots
Welders know that they have one of the most demanding jobs in the world. It requires a lot of skills and experience to do well, and risks are high on the job. Welding has often been classified as one of the most dangerous jobs today due to extreme heat, burning sparks, and working with large and complicated pieces of heavy metal.
Exposed to high electrical current, welders often wear protective clothing preventing serious burns, including the proper gloves, jackets, and knee pads. However, most welders do not consider protecting their feet as part of their required protective equipment. Common injuries among this group of workers stem from crushing injuries to the feet from falling objects.
Wearing the proper and correct boots for welders is taking responsibility for the position that you are responsible for. These metatarsal welding boots are specially designed for protection with additional hardened steel plates covering the bridge of the feet.
Even when you are on your feet for hours on end, you will find that these boots remain comfortable as they are designed especially for both comfort and safety.
What to Look for Before Buying Welding Boots
Welders are required to wear proper safety gear when working with a variety of welding equipment. Mandated by OSHA and the place of employment, failure to wear required protection is grounds for dismissal. Seasoned welders are well aware of the risks in the welding profession and know-how to protect themselves.
The following information is provided to help you choose the right welding work boots that offer the maximum protection required.
Made from soft durable leather or other fire-resistant material, leggings protect the legs of the welder from flying embers. Worn on the outside of other suitable clothing above the knee to the top of your boots, leggings offer the welder additional protection that is an absolute must. It is affordable and durable with a longer wear factor.
Metatarsal guards
Metatarsal guards are personal protective equipment that is worn on top of the work boots for welders. Using the laces of your boots, the metatarsal guards are interlaced with this personal protection guard to protect the instep of your feet from falling material or crushing injuries.
It is also used as an additional guard to keep hot molten metal out of your work boots. Welding without these guards leaves your feet exposed to possibly serious feet injuries.
Toe Guards
Toe guards are a means of supplying additional protection to the toe area of the best welding work boots. Covering your toes and the instep of your feet, these toe guards are often confused with metatarsal guards; they're different.
Toe guards offer less impact protection and are worn on top of your work boots. They are secured with an adjustable strap that runs under the arch of your boots.
Shin Guards
Typically made of lightweight materials, shin guards are worn below the knee to the top of the ankle. Shin guards are designed to protect the front lower section of both legs from metal punctures and sharp corners on larger sections of lengthy metal. These are available in a variety of configurations, lengths, and designs, as well as price ranges.
Shock Resistant
Abrupt shocks are always a concern in all work environments. In welding, abrupt shocks often occur when moving from one completed section of a project to the next. Although jumping from one level to the next is never recommended, it does occur and often results from ankling sprains and breaks.
In a welding shop, making your feet as comfortable as possible with the boots' shock-absorbing qualities is always recommended.
Heat Resistant
Feeling the heat trapped inside your boots can make an already long day seem like an eternity. It is vital to keep feet cool when you are working in high-temperature environments. Look for work boots that are heat-resistant and made from high-quality premium leather.
Welding is one of the most dangerous jobs today. Working high above or below the ground, the extreme heat from torches produces hot pieces of molten metal that may come in direct contact with you. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to avoid serious burns while using a variety of specialized welding torches.
Your feet are the most vulnerable when welding and thus must be protected. The best welding boots protect your feet from hot ashes, burning sparks, and falling heavy pieces of metal when cutting. Metatarsal welding work boots are designed with a specialized cover attached to the top of the boots to offer the protection you need.
We have reviewed in this article do their job very well in ensuring your safety while on the job. While we have recommended one specific brand and model, any of the books listed here can actually help you continue what you do best.

History of Taiwan
The island of Taiwan, or Ilha Formosa -meaning Beautiful Island in portuguese-, was discovered for Europe by the Portuguese in the 16th century and first colonized in the early 17th century. The Dutch East India Company established the first settlements in the south of the island, and a few years later the Spanish did in the north, although they were driven out by the Dutch in 1642.
At the end of the 17th century, China took control of the island, and in 1885 it became part of the Qing Empire, in mainland China. But in 1895, the Japanese Empire made Taiwan its colony after the First Sino-Japanese War, and they did not return it to China until the final defeat of Japan in World War II.
However, in 1949 political tension in China divided the country into two factions. On the one hand, the Chinese Communist Army, which surpassed nationalist forces on the continent to end up establishing the People's Republic of China (PRC). The nationalist government and its army, along with 1.2 million people fled to Taiwan, resulting in both territorial and population separation in China.
Following this confrontation, the Republic of China (ROC) claimed jurisdiction over mainland China and Taiwan, until the Taiwanese government withdrew this lawsuit in the early 1990s. Since Beijing, the Chinese government has maintained that its sovereignty over Taiwan is legitimate and has always referred to China as a single territory, ignoring the ROC's political claims.
Currently, few countries in the world dispute the legitimacy of the PRC's territorial claim, especially considering the great political and economic influence that exerts in the world. However, there is still no agreement on how and when this reunification would take place, or if it will take place one day.

Grace is the favorite topic of Christians. If you write a song about grace it is almost certain to be a chart topper. And yet the majority of "Christians" have a misunderstand of God's grace. Their misunderstanding could very well lead them to the path of destruction.
Grace is a gift from God. There are those who simply define grace as "God's unmerited favor." While this is a truthful definition in that there is nothing we can do to deserve God's favor, this definition is incomplete. The Bible is where we will find the true definition of grace.
Most Christians are familiar with at least one verse or two that mentions grace. The passage being Ephesians 2:8-10. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
In our quest to understand God's grace it is important to realize that God's grace is available to every man. Titus 2:11, "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men." It is interesting to note that God's grace has been extended to all men, yet all men are not saved! That is not God's fault though. For he came "to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10. This was the whole purpose of Jesus coming to earth. God purchased our salvation with his own blood, Acts 20:28. The price paid at Calvary is the ONLY price able to purchase our salvation. There are not enough good deeds available for any one of us to do to ever deserve God's grace. Christ did the work to make salvation available to us.
Because of His sacrifice, there are those who say that all you have to do is believe and you are saved. Any other action on you part, such as baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost evidenced by speaking in tongues, or living by a certain standard of holiness in dress and conduct constitutes our working for salvation.
Please consider this. You work 40 hours this week and you get paid $1000.00. After you get your check you have to go to the bank. Maybe you have to drive 10 miles to get there. After you get there on a Friday evening around 5:00 p.m., the place is swamped. You then wait in line for 45 minutes to get to the teller. She requires you to endorse the check and provide her with some form of photo ID before she will cash your check. After all that effort, don't you think the check should be worth more? Look at all the effort you put forth to get it cashed. Probably at least an hours worth of your time, maybe spent in a hot car, waiting in the drive through. What if she decided you didn't look enough like your gorgeous picture on your drivers license and refuses to cash your check unless you came back during lobby hours? It still doesn't increase the value of your check does it? No matter how many banks you go to, how many lines you wait in, how many times you sign your name and show your ID the check will never increase in value, irregardless of the amount of work you put forth to cash it. The work to obtain that check has already been expended.
Jesus Christ performed the work for our salvation. His death, His suffering, His blood earned the Grace (check) for us. No matter if you believe that you must live like the Amish with the absence of virtually all-modern luxuries. Or live in as a monk, priest, or nun. No effort you put forth will increase the value of the check.
The problem that most "Christians" have is they have been taught they do not have to go to the bank, wait in line, endorse the check and provide ID to exchange grace for salvation!
If you were to receive a $10,000,000.00 check, it will have no actual value until it is endorsed and cashed. Unfortunately, most of Christianity is carrying around the "check" of Grace without activating it by obeying God's word for fear they will be guilty of earning their salvation.
Grace is defined in Scripture as something that teaches us how to live! Doesn't sound like the traditional definition of grace? However, it is the Scriptural definition. Titus 2:11-12, "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;"
Wow! That sounds too much like work! To deny ungodliness, lusts of the world, and live soberly, righteous, and godly takes a great deal of effort on our part! And yet, the Bible defines grace is just this way. What can it mean? Strong's (#5485) defines grace as "the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life."
This divine influence is a gift or favor of God. When God's grace is truly working in a person's life it will be obvious. For many years some have quoted from the time God was speaking to Samuel in regards to choosing a king. God told Samuel, "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart." This verse has been used to give license to all kinds of ungodly behavior and appearance. Somehow, people are blinded to the fact that God does not do a partial job. God will not work on the outward appearance and not work on the heart. This was the problem with the Pharisee's. They would not allow God to work in their hearts. Even though outwardly they looked like godly men.
Our generation has taken the other approach. The outward appearance doesn't make any difference because God only looks on the heart. The fallacy of such thinking is exposed in the definition of grace. When God influences a heart, it will be reflected in the way the person lives! There is no way around it! Either God does not have the complete surrender of an individual that He desires to have, or there is no influence although claimed!
Many churches claim that all one must do to obtain salvation is believe. The Bible is very clear believing is certainly a critical part of salvation. However, even Jesus classified believing as a "work" in John 6:28-29. "Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." This word "work" is the exact same Strong's number (#2041) as "work" found in Ephesians 2:8-10. So Ephesians tells us we are not saved by works, yet Jesus says believing is a work? What gives?
First of all, who is qualified to determine what is a work and what is not? Who has the right to say believing is Not a work because it is done in the heart (even though Jesus just said it is), and baptism IS a work because it takes more effort on your part (even thought the minister is the one really doing the physical work)? Who has the right to say?
Lets look to the Scripture. The Bible give a list of some items that are "works" (also Strong's # 2041). They are found in Galatians 5:19-21. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." As you view the list you will find several items that are clearly outward actions. Adultery, fornication, idolatry murders, drunkenness, etc. These are obvious outward actions. Although sometimes hid to man, generally at least one other individual is involved. But others of these can be kept secret from everyone else in the world and only known by God. Although uncleanness may manifest itself outwardly, it also can be hidden internally. Hatred and envyings are examples of feelings that often times are kept secret.
So it is clear from the Biblical definition that both inward and outward acts are included in this definition of "works."
Since the Bible cannot contradict itself, how then are these two verses, John 6:29, and Ephesians 2:8-9, reconciled?
Although believing take our cognitive reasoning and understanding that indeed God robed himself in flesh and bleed and died for our salvation, believing is NOT a work in that God affected your choice to believe. The Bible tells us: "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him." John 6:44. Later in the same chapter Jesus repeats himself, saying, "That no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father." John 6:64. And again a few chapters later, Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6.
So the very fact you believe is because God moved on your heart. As was stated earlier. God's grace has appeared to all men. But they made the choice whether to obey or refuse.
What about Baptism? Isn't that a work?
Well, actually the minister performing the baptism is doing most of the physical work. But it is actually not a work on our part because it is only through Christ sacrifice on Calvary, his shed blood that baptism has any meaning. "We are buried with him in baptism," Romans 6:4. And baptism is only effective when we believe in its operation, Colossians 2:12-14. Titus 3:5, tells us, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost." Throughout Scripture baptism has been associated with the washing of our sins. Acts 22:16, "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." Although baptism takes effort on our part, the actual work was done on Calvary. But it is through baptism the work of the cross is activated in our life.
What about receiving the Holy Ghost?
Once again, God does the work. When someone receives the Holy Ghost, it is God speaking through you. It is not a language you know. It is not just saying things you do not understand. But it is God speaking through you. Acts 2:4 tells us "…the Spirit gave the utterance." It is true these people had tarried for some seven to ten in days in prayer before God moved on them in this manner. But once again, it was God responding to their obedience.
What about living a holy life?
Remember the definition of grace? When you have His Spirit inside you it will teach you and guide you. So once again the credit goes to God for helping one to live righteous and godly. Grace teaches one how to live pleasing in his sight.
Have you obeyed all God has commanded you in his Word? Hebrews 5:9, tells us Jesus is "the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him." Is it any wonder it doesn't just say believe! The reason being there is much more to salvation than believing. It does little good to carry around a check for $10,000,000.00 without cashing it. Obey God's word and reap the benefits of God's saving Grace. There is no price that could compare to eternal life. But you must cash in on grace to receive the benefits. It is not by works of righteousness on our part. Our efforts do not increase the value. The total amount of the "check" is already set. The work was done at Calvary. God's saving Grace is available for you!

Baylee had her eye on Ronnie since high school, but it wasn't until they spotted each other later, on a trip home from college, when the first connection happened. After ten years of loving + growing together, Ronnie surprised Baylee and popped the question on her birthday! These two knew they wanted a destination wedding, so they began looking outside their hometown of Vegas for the perfect spot.
At the end of the day, they both agreed that their wedding was about throwing the best party of their lives…and there's nothing like a party in Mexico! The first stop was Acre Baja, a fairly unknown venue at the time. The magic took over before they could even get through the main entrance and Baylee looked at Ronnie with tears in her eyes. This was the place!
B + R called on I Do Details to help bring the design vision to life and Haley Rynn Ringo Photography to capture it all! Shall we join them in Mexico? Let's go!
Silk Flower Bouquets
Baylee threw a BYOB party with her girls before the wedding—Bring Your Own Bouquet! She purchased all of the dried and silk flowers from Hobby Lobby + Michaels, then invited her girls over to make their own arrangements. Finally, she surprised them with macrame wraps and custom pin gifts!
Boho Bridal Style
Baylee's Rue De Seine gown from Lovely Bride is giving us all the rockin' roll, boho goddess vibes!
The First Look
Ronnie lookin' good in Top Shop!
Our first look! Sharing that special alone time together and exchanging our vows. Padre Chippoletti (our ordained friend who married us) recited a poem during our ceremony...it was the lyrics to All Of Me by John Legend and it was epic, like a scene out of a movie. Everyone was laughing and it was perfect.
These two totally went with the Southwestern vibes. Baylee wore the most stunning vintage turquoise squash blossom necklace that belonged to her grandmother and honestly, we can't imagine this dress without it!
The men's boutonnieres were faux succulents with vintage family heirloom turquoise pins and gold leaf accents to tie with the designs on Baylee's gown.
Baby, Let's Get Married
Steppin' Out with the Girls
When Baylee chose her bridesmaids she gave them paint swatches so they could find dresses to match! LOVE that idea! Terracotta, copper, and rust were decided on from the moment she toured Acre Baja, a move that totally highlighted the design elements of the space.
The Ceremony
Processional: Take Off Your Cool by Outkast featuring Norah Jones
Recessional: Angel by John Legend + Anita Baker
First Dance: La Vie En Rose by Lady Gaga
The look says it all!
Fiesta all Night
Yep, we're fans of this ;)
You think these two know how to have fun?!
Remember there are no rules! It's your way or the highway. This is you and your fiancés big day so celebrate your love the best way you know how to. When selecting your venue, never forget these key ingredients to a successful event: convenience, food, alcohol, music, and weather! Weather is tough, but having a back up plan for your outdoor wedding is important. Low budget? Pick a wedding venue that speaks for itself. People may not remember your centerpieces, but they will definitely remember sweating their makeup off, a long shuttle ride, and paying for their own drinks.
THE cutest. Many, many congrats to the happy couple from all of us here at GWS!
