By Cobus Fourie
In 1993, the 4 Non Blondes had a huge international hit with their song titled 'What's up?' Linda Perry, the vocalist and songwriter, sings in the first phrase: 'I realised quickly when I knew I should that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man for whatever that means…" The song's chorus furthers asks the pivotal question: what's going on? The question is obviously rhetorical but moreover a statement of discontent.
Linda Perry became a songwriter mostly after her band split up and she was the person behind Christina Aguilera's hit song 'Beautiful' which in its music video had the theme of self-acceptance and portrayed a gay couple kissing and a transvestite. The conclusion is obvious – acceptance of the fringe, acceptance of the 'other'.
I fear that in terms of acceptance we are starting to take one giant leap backwards. And by 'we' I mean the so-called men's movement.
There seems to be a phenomenon rearing its evil head. All around the world men lead by other self-appointed preachers and moral leaders are revolting against feminism and claiming back their god ordained place in society as head of the house et cetera all under the auspices of religious dogma. They call this the so-called men's movement.
This resurgence and revolt against feminism is proliferating at a rapid speed and I fear that in terms of human rights we will be back in the dark Middle Ages.
The patriarchy thinks in terms of binary oppositions or dichotomies depending on which nomenclature you prefer: Male versus female or the 'one' versus the 'other'.
I was always flabbergasted when heterosexual people always wanted to know the butch and femme in homosexual relationships. It is just a manifestation of the obsession with dichotomies and the patriarchy's utter disregard for equality and the notion of the subservience of the female. Certain heterosexuals and of course the patriarchy, par excellence, continue to impose these constructs upon everyone else to simplify their lives. This is also known as good old-fashioned stereotyping.
As James Dobson was quoted in the New York Times: "tolerance and its first cousin diversity is almost always code for homosexual advocacy." It seems the patriarchy has a huge gripe with tolerance and diversity. It just doesn't quite fit into their strict dichotomies.
Now more about James Dobson: he is the founder of the Focus on the Family Foundation and has been spitting out conservative drivel since 1977. Note that James Dobson is no reverend/priest/minister or religious scholar but a psychologist with a very clear ulterior motive. Note also that the Focus on the Family Foundation produces ready-to-play radio programmes, an almost prêt-à-porter of the broadcast industry. Also note that the vast majority of South African community radio stations naively broadcast these conservative drivel much to the astonishment of the progressive community. Our nation is built on tolerance and diversity; our coat of arms says 'unity in
diversity' after all. Now why do these radio stations propagate division?
James Dobson also went on the most illogical tirade about the innocent and very likable cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants. He was widely quoted that said character was a product of the pink agenda (inferring gay mafia connotations) and maintains that SpongeBob SquarePants will pollute the minds of the young and feed them pro-homosexual messages.
The feminists and the LGBT community have a common enemy in the patriarchy and its utter disregard for the rights of the 'other', this 'other' being everyone except the heterosexual, cisgender male. I did a simple Google search on 'the evils of the patriarchy' and to my astonishment most results lead to websites that proclaim the evil of feminism and the foundation of their dislike is 'the bible tells us so'. Ever since the advent of the modern constitutional democracy, there has been the vital and clear separation between church and state. Otherwise, politically we would be back in the Middle Ages.
The problem with the patriarchy is that it is the basis of many cultures and it is sanctioned by religious texts hence it still being in practice today. The patriarchy imposes its strict dichotomies on everyone else thus subverting the rights of everyone but the heterosexual, cisgender male. The patriarchy also has no tolerance for equality and firmly believes in the subservience of the 'other' (historically the female). The patriarchy regards women and the LGBT community as lesser persons and would not very much like to grant them equal rights.
Rosemarie Putnam Tong, author of Feminist Thought, writes the following: "Simone de Beauvoir provided an ontological-existential explanation for women's oppression. In The Second Sex, one of the key theoretical texts of the twentieth century feminism, she argued that woman is oppressed by virtue of her otherness. Woman is the other because she is not-man." Tong also states: "They claim woman's otherness enables individual women to stand back and criticise the norms, values, and practices that the dominant male culture (patriarchy) seeks to impose on everyone, particularly those who live on its periphery"
Amelia Jones, author of Feminism, Incorporated. Reading "postfeminism" in an antifeminism age, has the following to say: "The recent resuscitation of this patriarchal fantasy by the right – under the guise of 'family values' – is a symptom of the massive anxiety of the patriarchal system, a reaction formation against the threatening incursion of women into the work force and, more recently, the political arena." Jones continues: "With the cultural authority of anglo masculinity becoming increasingly bankrupt as gay, feminist, and non-white cultures insistently articulate counter-identities to this imaginary norm, the patriarchal commodity system urgently seeks to reinforce predictable stereotypes of femininity… The properly postfeminist woman shores up the crumbling infrastructure of conservative American ideology during a time of economic crisis and confirms the 'rightness' of Republicanism, with its moralizing intervention in personal relations and the destruction of the civil rights of women, lesbians, gays, blacks, and others."
Jones then explores the heart of this topic: "The other side of the postfeminist coin is the so-called 'men's movement.' Inspired by Robert Bly's book Iron John (1990) the men's movement appropriates and perverts the rhetoric of feminism to urge the contemporary American male to 'find a voice of [his] own' as a 'Wild Man.' Bly laments the feminization of the American male at the hands of his female caretakers, and calls for the extirpation of this spineless femininity through primitivist histrionics and rituals of male bonding. The "Wild Man" immerses himself in mother nature and beats the appropriated drums of his 'primitive' brothers with big sticks to prove to himself that … his ability to dominate is intact. As with the frantic declarations of the supposed death of the feminist subject, the fact that masculinity (again, aggressively heterosexual and almost exclusively anglo and upper middle-class) needs to be shored up proves again how intense is the threat the vast numbers of working women of all sexual, racial, and class identities currently pose to the patriarchal system (not to mention the threat posed by the increasingly powerful identity politics of the non-heterosexual male)."
Just as these excerpts explain the situation in the USA, so these notions have shown up here in South Africa as well. Think of those "Man Camp conferences". It is sad, immensely frightening, and utterly detrimental to the egalitarian society we want to build here.
Lastly, now I want to ask that anthem of a question that Linda Perry asked about seventeen years ago: what's going on?

text: Climate Change Predictions In California Elevates Higher, May Trigger Storms, High Tides & Floods By Regin Olimberio | Apr 30, 2017 11:05 PM EDT Storms, high tides, and ocean level may rose higher in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. These new findings contradict the previous studies where scientists placed the climate change impact at much lower levels. The climate change repercussions may hit harder that previously thought. According to the California Ocean Protection Council, they are revising the previous predictions on an upward trend. As the Pacific Ocean's water level rises, the council agrees on upscale protection. This may particularly affect low-lying areas such as airports, roads, and communities. California agrees that the ice sheets in Antarctica are melting too fast than previously thought. This incident can spur dramatic rise on ocean's water level since these sheets hold 90 percent of earth's ice. Deputy director Jenn Eckerle said that they are worried about its impact on California's 1,100 miles of coastline. Watch video Meanwhile, Governor Jerry Brown takes on the planning and budgeting for climate change mitigation in California, the Time said. Come worst scenario, there is a possibility that the state may order occupants to abandon some affected establishments and buildings. California will also use the prediction as a guide in its zoning policy and in making local decisions to avert the climate change impact. Even in the best case condition, the California council said that the San Francisco Bay area may suffer an increase of 1 to 2.4 feet rise in the ocean water level by the end of the century, according to ABC News. Again, this "best" scenario is only feasible if the world is going to exert a concerted effort to curb climate change. If not, California may suffer an even more destructive impact. To recall, California is already experiencing the impact of climate change. While there is a lukewarm reception of the problem in the national government, California continually witnessed crumbling cliffs in oceanfront residential areas. Further, some residents were forced to abandon their houses as the water level continues to push forward inland.

TriPollar Reviews
TriPollar is one more decent option that combines skin tightening and fat removal the non surgical way, by utilizing Radio Frequency! If you want to learn more on how it works you need to read our in depth review on it! Besides, its crucial that you make sure whether TriPollar meets your expectations and this is why we share parts of the testimonials we received from our visitors that gave a go to TriPollar!
Ellie R.
I chose a series of 4 Tripollar treatments for having the wrinkles on my forehead mitigated and the sagging skin under the eyes lifted up a little bit. It has worked, and it has worked better than I had expected! Initially, the lines and the eye bags were adequately smoothed and I was roughly satisfied with my choice. But to my surprise, there was more to come! The lines kept going finer and the end result, almost a year after the finalization of the treatments, is that of a much younger and radiant woman!
Jessica A.
Prompted by several positive reviews and going through an awful lot of feedback, I decided to have TriPollar on my face half a year ago, in order to have my skin tightened. Oh God, I wish I shouldn't have done this! In my case, Tripollar proved to be a total waste of money, but worse, it left me with a facial appearance worse than my previous (and not just worse than I had expected). But let me take things in the correct order.
First of all, I want to make something clear here: I was not new to the beauty and cosmetic procedures, as I had had a couple of anti-aging treatments in the past like Fraxel and Thermage, which had worked well. So, why did I have to try something new? Probably I wanted something more, while the feedback coming was pretty encouraging. Well, I won't stop regretting that choice for the years to come…
Anyway, I went for it. One of the reasons I chose it was the painless procedure. But even at this point, Tripollar was below average, to say the least; the experience was hurtful and agonizing, putting me in great concern about the forthcoming result. And unfortunately, my fears came alive. Even though I was clear from the very beginning (during the pre-operative assessment) that I didn't want my subcutaneous fat to be sucked and shed, and the doctor had reassured me about that, a few days after the first (and only treatment), the image I encountered in my mirror was a hollowed face with a significant amount of its volume gone!
Now, half a year later, my image is still cadaverous and disturbing. I can't recall any stupider (or unluckier) choice in my life, and I would certainly not recommend Tripollar to anyone!
Jane F.
I had a 6-session treatment for my abdominal area and my thighs using TriPollar, as I was having difficulty in wearing the clothes I wanted. The outcome is very positive: The skin on my belly and thighs is now significantly firmer and the cellulite on my thighs is also remarkably reduced. So, definitely thumbs up to Tripollar for a notable improvement of my looks!
Andrea D.
Going for a Tripollar series of treatments was a pretty relaxing and pleasurable experience for me! Moreover, it delivered, and that's what matters the most: my face is now more sparkling, with smoothened wrinkles! I guess Tripollar would be equally effective for body slimming and contouring as well!

Before you exercise, eat carbs, but not too much, said Nancy Cohen, a professor in the department of nutrition at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
She recommended consuming 1 to 4 grams of carbohydrates per every 2.2 pounds of body weight if you are planning to exercise for longer than an hour. To put that in perspective, a medium banana has about 27 grams of total carbohydrates.
When should you eat? About an hour to four hours before working out, Cohen said.
A review paper by researchers at the University of Sydney in Australia suggests that carbohydrate ingestion can improve endurance exercise performance. The paper was published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2011.
The researchers assessed 50 previous single- or double-blind, randomized studies on carbohydrate ingestion and endurance exercise. The researchers concluded that the data in the studies provide evidence that consuming carbohydrates can enhance endurance exercise performance in adults.
Research on how quality carbs can influence exercise performance -- especially endurance exercise -- dates to the 1930s.
"By eating carbohydrate-rich foods that are low in fat and low or moderate in protein, you can make sure you have enough muscle glycogen as fuel for your physical activity. This might include low-fat granola bars, fig bars, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, banana, yogurt, pasta or other high-carbohydrate foods," Cohen said.
"Sufficient fluids are also important," she said. "In general, you can consume 5 to 10 milliliters of water per kilogram of body weight in the two to four hours before a workout."
If you prefer to break a sweat in the morning, experts are divided on whether you should eat ahead of time.
It should be your own decision on whether to eat breakfast before or after exercise, said Stuart Phillips, professor at McMaster University in Canada and director of the McMaster Center for Nutrition, Exercise, and Health Research.
"I work out before breakfast every day because that's when I like to work out. I don't take in anything other than perhaps a cup of coffee most times or perhaps a slice of toast. My big breakfast comes after. But that's not to say that's good or bad. That's just what I do," Phillips said.
However, Cohen said that it's important to not make a habit out of exercising on an empty stomach.
"If you haven't eaten in a long time, your body is in a fasted state. Normally, your body will use glucose for fuel and begin to break down muscle glycogen to deliver the glucose your body needs for exercise. In a fasted state, the muscle glycogen will be depleted sooner. Your body will then turn to breaking down fats for the energy it needs," Cohen said.
"This can lead to ketosis, or keto-acid buildup in the blood, which can be harmful to the kidneys over the long term and cause fatigue and dizziness," she said. "While exercising on an empty stomach may burn fat, it does not seem to be beneficial in the long run. And, if the fatigue means that you are not able to exercise at full performance, then you will also not be able to sustain as effective a workout."
Try eating eggs, cereal and milk, toast with peanut butter, or fruit and yogurt to fuel a morning workout, Cohen recommended.

I've just seen Mutant Chronicles.
Wahat a shower of shite. Even by the flimsy standards it established for itself, it still made no sense. Bad acting, bad casting, incoherent script, lacklustre special effects, thank fuck it was Orange Wednesday and I got in half price, otherwise I'd be out right now breakin' shit.
Still, it did contain the line "I'm not paid to believe - I'm paid to fuck shit up", which I guess is something.

Archie Gets Engaged!
Love or Money? Sex or Companionship? These are the perennial options one must weigh when considering marriage. Over the course of the last American Century, the constructs of wedded bliss have been as malleable as Silly Putty – ranging from the traditional 'romantic' practice of marrying one's destined soul-mate to the shotgun weddings of economic and moral responsibilities to the sodomite unions of Pre-Prop-8 California. Marriage is a shifty bitch – a bitch that cannot be so easily defined with only one school-of-thought. But one man has finally made his choice. After 65 years, America's favorite and most Groovy teenager, Archie Andrews, will ask Veronica Lodge to marry him! In issue #600, set to be released in August, Archie finally decides between sweet, wholesome Betty Cooper and rich vixen, Veronica Lodge – and in an outrage that makes the Iranian streets look like a doped-up love-in, Betty fans are positively bummed!
"Veronica is a spoiled, manipulative brat, with a mean streak," – Anonymous Betty Fan
"Veronica is the gal you marry the FIRST time, later, when you want a real relationship, you marry a Betty." - Dinana
"Veronica has always been narcissistic, selfish and vain. Betty is giving, warm and devoted." - Dan-299885
While War, Semen & Grooviness has not taken an official stance on this monumental news – we do feel it is our responsibility to report to you the ramifications of this decision as it pertains to the Holy Trinity. How will Archie's nuptials be influenced by the eternal elements of the Groovy Cum Bomb? Will he really go through with it and marry for money? Or will he decide at the last moment that true love is where it's at and choose Betty? And what of the unspoken but obvious homosexual tension between him and his life long pal Jughead? War, Semen & Grooviness lays it all out for you in the only checklist you'll ever need!
#1 – Veronica Lodge
An obvious heiress to the power of War, Veronica has consistently been a sassy bitch for over 65 years. As the daughter of Hiram Lodge, the richest man in Riverdale, Veronica is set to inherit a vast fortune and could easily secure the financial future of the perpetually broke Archie Andrews. On their wedding night, it is expected that Veronica will violently dominate the emaciated and effeminate Archie as he offers her his dusty WW2 era virginity. This chick is S&M all the way! But with her, it's a one way street. Sorry Archie, don't expect to become a back door man tonight! In stark contrast to her spoiled lifestyle – in the amorous realm, Veronica is eager to give but not to receive! Veronica also seems to be quite oblivious to the hurt feelings of her friend Betty Cooper – as displayed by this recent post in Veronica's official blog on www.archiecomics.com.
I am so excited, I am getting Married to Archie. There is so much to do, so many plans to make. I wonder if Betty wants to be my Maid of Honor? I bet she is so happy for me!
#2 – Betty Cooper
Betty is one Groovy chick! (And the obvious choice for most romance-orientated Archie fans.) Betty is way keen on the Zodiac Astrology and the official Archie Comics website lists her birthday as June 29 which would make her a far-out Cancer! But under sidereal astrology she is listed as a Gemini and even one Archie story pegged her as a Libra! Woah! What's going on there? The truth is, Betty transcends the stars; she is a cosmic country blonde who could really make Archie happy if he gave her the chance. In their most outta sight garage band, The Archies, Betty sings back up and plays the tambourine – a sure sign that she's down with the rhythm of love! Poor Betty is reportedly very distraught over the news of Archie and Veronica's upcoming nuptials – check out what she said on her official blog on www.archiecomics.com.
I am so sad, I don't even know what to say.
#3 – Forsythe Pendleton "Jughead" Jones III
Archie's lifelong pal, Jughead, has been a fan favorite for almost the entire run of the Archie series. As far as friends go, he and Archie are as inseparable as peanut butter and jelly – but could there be more between them? Anyone familiar with Archie Comics knows full well of Jughead's rank disinterest in the female gender and his pathological obsession with food. (His sheepdog is named Hot Dog!) He is thin, witty and extremely knowledgeable in an eclectic range of topics and subjects. While he hasn't officially come out of the closet in anyway in the Archie canon – the cult of Semen feels it is warranted in surmising that Jughead's constant need to have food in his mouth is actually a displaced desire for freckled, un-circumcised All-American cock – it's an obvious assumption. One need not even bring up his constant rejection of female companionship! The verdict is in – but will Archie feel the same way? I guess we'll find out as this tumultuous love square comes to its explosive climax in the coming months! Until then, here's what Jughead has to say in his official blog on www.archiecomics.com.
Jug Here-
Arch, it would be an honor to be my best pal's best man.
When is the rehearsal dinner?
What do you think? Who does Archie belong with? Will the eternal forces of War conquer Archie's front line and force him to succumb to a lifetime of ball gags and fat bank accounts? Or will the light of Grooviness shine down on our hero's red head and show him the way to the Cosmos? Or will the carnal taboos of church-pew sodomy stain the wedding buffet with the Semen of forbidden love? Vote and let your voice be heard!

Not since 2000's "High Fidelity" has there been a movie about a Chicago record store as close to the heart as "Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records" — except this one is a true story.
When: 2:30 & 8:30 p.m., April 1
Where: The Vic Theatre, 3145 N. Sheffield
Tickets: $20-125
Info: brownpapertickets.com
The new documentary, exclusively debuting in a pair of test screenings this weekend, tells of the rise, fall and possible future of the beloved Chicago indie. The North Side store was once the place for misfits and music aficionados in the post-punk and new wave nexus of the '80s and '90s. An accompanying label also became the driving force behind the industrial music juggernaut that produced bands like Ministry, Front 242 and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult.
Yet barely a physical trace of this important chapter of local music history still exists. The former storefront, at 2449 N. Lincoln Avenue, is now a family dental clinic. The scene's nightclubs, such as Medusas (3257 N. Sheffield) and Neo (2350 N. Clark), ground zero to hear new records, are now offices and daycare facilities, respectively. And the whole counter-culture vibe of the Lakeview neighborhood and its capital, Belmont and Clark, have become virtually whitewashed.
Thankfully, cameras were rolling during those formative years and captured a slew of candid home movies, uncensored live performances and B-roll footage that fill the 90-minute rock doc with plenty of nostalgia for the diehards and a compelling narrative for the curious.
"Industrial Accident" is the "labor of love" of Julia Nash, current owner of Wax Trax! and daughter of original founder Jim Nash. She had the idea to begin the arduous film project after organizing a sold-out concert weekend in 2011 (the Wax Trax! Retrospectacle: 33 1/3 Anniversary) that was supposed to be a commemorative tribute to her late father and his life and business partner Dannie Flesher, both of whom had passed away by 2010.
"As we were talking with people that weekend, we realized the effect [Wax Trax!] still had on everyone, and I thought this is pretty important," she says. Julia Nash had an idea to produce a Retrospectacle concert DVD with a bonus disc that gave "a little backstory" on Jim and Dannie who opened their first store in Denver before moving to Chicago in 1978. "But soon it started to unfold that [they were] the main focus," she says. "And we really wanted to give an inside look at the creators of this whole thing."
What results in "Industrial Accident" is one big love story — about the two men who met at a David Bowie concert and their undying passion for music that, by happenstance, created a new genre that influenced a whole flock of followers. Many of them are included in the film. In addition to interviews with the main roster of artists like Front 242's Patrick Codenys, Dead Kennedy/Lard's Jello Biafra and Ministry's Al Jourgensen (who's largely been absent in Wax Trax!'s comeback), there's also thoughtful sound bytes from Steve Albini, Metro's Joe Shanahan, Trent Reznor and even Dave Grohl who discovered the store as a teenager. "He asked me to do [the HBO docuseries] 'Sonic Highways,' and I said, 'I'll do your film if you do mine,'" Julia Nash jokes.
"Industrial Accident" was supposed to come out around the same time — in 2015 — but legal battles with early collaborators put the film in limbo. "In January 2016 we started reshooting the entire movie and kicked ass all last year to get the film done," says Julia, whose husband, Mark Skillicorn, worked on graphics along with Wax Trax! alum Jason Novak. Julia's daughter, Olivia, also is credited for some of the footage as is Shayna Connelly, a DePaul teacher and the wife of Ministry/Revolting Cocks musician Chris Connelly.

"The whole family vibe is still there," Julia says of the new crew while also referencing the many dedicated fans that stood patiently by and participated in a Kickstarter campaign, nearly doubling a $45,000 goal in a matter of days. "That blew our minds," she says, "to see that outpouring of support and love. I still have such a hard time wrapping my head around it."
In return, Wax Trax! is hosting the special fan screenings before the film enters the festival circuit. Post-show panel discussions are also planned, featuring Connelly, Biafra, Groovie Mann and Buzz McCoy (from My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult), Paul Barker (Ministry), former label and store employees and Julia herself. She, of course, re-ignited the label in 2014 with its first new release in 13 years since TVT Records (which bought out Wax Trax! in 1992) shut down.
"You never know what the future holds," Julia Nash says, hinting at future releases, merchandising deals, even a possible Wax Trax! museum. "There's nothing definite, but we're always thinking about the next thing." A statement her dad would be proud of.

Waxing Nostalgic: Joe Shanahan, Chris Connelly and former store employee Sean Joyce reflect on the impact of Wax Trax!
"Wax Trax! was responsible for bringing together many disparate and isolated artists and people from all over the world. I think nowadays [as] the music business has morphed into something harder to recognize, people need to be reminded and introduced to the idea that at one point, much of it was about community and the sharing of ideas and collaboration. I was very fortunate upon entering into the whole Wax Trax! universe to be enabled, encouraged and allowed to thrive in a very non-traditional situation; to put it in simpler terms, 'the weirder the better.'" – Chris Connelly
"To really understand the '80s and the massive impact of 'new wave' and 'punk rock' and the birth of industrial music, you have to look no further than Wax Trax! There would have been no Smartbar and no Metro without Jim and Dannie and all the creative energy Wax Trax! brought to Chicago. I bought all the original club's records there and Wax Trax! was Metro's first off-site box office. The feeling of excitement between the store, the label and the club was undeniable as bands and DJs felt the chemistry." – Joe Shanahan
"It's a true do-it-yourself story in an age just before the Internet. But behind the famous music and legendary store there were just these two incredible [guys] with ideas that became so important to so many people. People visited from around the world to shop and it was a total meetup spot to find other creatives who were just into the same music as yourself. I remember a couple of visits from director John Hughes, who used to get records from the store to help him build what would be the soundtracks to films." – Sean Joyce

Since discovering tahini and it's many uses (cashew hummus...mmmmmm), I've pretty much fallen in love with the stuff. It's so delicious! For those of you unaware of what it is, it's pretty much sesame seed butter. Noms. Now, I personally have trouble eating it on its own, so I always enjoy it most when accompanied by other ingredients. I still usually make it the primary ingredient, I find it just tastes better with a little lemon juice or something like that. Which brings me to this 3 ingredient salad dressing (well I suppose 4 if you count the water). It's a breeze to whip up and tastes amazing and decadent over just about any salad! If you're ever in a salad dressing rut and are getting bored of just oil and vinegar, go ahead and give this a shot.
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Water for thinning
- In a small bowl, whisk together the first three ingredients until well combined. At this point, it will be pretty thick.

Heat Gun / Soup Can Nano-Roaster
I'd been roasting with a HG/DB heat gun and dog bowl for several months. I liked the simplicity of a heat gun, a steel bowl, and a wooden spoon. Roasting sequential batches was tiring, though, so when I happened upon Tim Eggars soup can roaster — which I stumbled upon through homeroasters.org — I had to try it. (If you're ever hunting for ideas, or for proof that this hobby can turn into an obsession, you also might want to check out Sweet Maria's gallery of do-it-yourself roasters.)
Tim uses a gas burner underneath the can, but I, as others have done videos showing various strategies have disappeared from photobucket, aim the heat gun into the can. This creates an asymmetrical heat source. To adjust for this, I tilt the can. And I angle the agitating fins to move the beans toward the center of the can. The diagram at right tries to shows the placement of the fins.
I originally used pop rivets to secure the fins, but Eggars' method of cutting slots with a Dremel is quicker and easier, and beans are less likely to get stuck. With a pop rivet, the entire fin is inside the can, and beans can become caught where the fin bends.
This setup is good for test batches, roasting 2 to 3 oz at a time — or around 8 - 12 brewed cups of coffee. (For 3 oz batches, I angle the can higher, and tip the heat gun downward a bit.
Here's the can itself. I'd planned to wrap it in fiberglass insulation for roasting outdoors. But the rag I used as a stop-gap measure works well enough. I'm roasting indoors, now, and the rag allows me to keep the heat gun on a lower setting. And it helps prevent burns — though the hose clamp still gets plenty toasty.
After several months of use, small cracks began to radiate from the hole around the bolt, due to the constant thermal pounding. So I replaced the original bolt with a sturdier one, and placed washers on either side of the can to shore it up.
The soup can is actually a stew can — the same diameter as a wide-mouth canning jar ring.
The foil that partly blocks the can's opening I cut from a Stouffers macaroni and cheese container. 3 or 4 tabs protrude from the outer edge of the foil and are under the canning ring to keep the foil in place. The wider section of foil blocks the beans as they tumble over the front fin.
In this interior shot, the front fin is on the left. If you compare the angle of the fin to the concentric rings on the sides of the can, you can see that the fin is not perpendicular, but runs at a slant.
The can rotates counter-clockwise, so when the beans tumble over the front fin, they should also slide back toward the middle of the can.
Tim Eggars' design has the advantage of a good, uniform heat source along the bottom of the can, but I'm fond of the heat gun because I don't have to deal with combustion gases, and I suspect it uses a little less energy overall. By angling the fins, the beans roast fairly evenly, and the heat gun roast retains more of the aromatic flavors typical of an air roast. (That's my pet theory, anyway.)
Here's the setup, ready to roast. (If you happen to have a heat gun and cordless drill already, materials cost $5.00 - $10.00.)
You can barely make out the smaller hose clamp at the bottom of the drill's handle, just above its battery. Once you've adjusted the clamp to produce 40 - 50 rpm, you can slip it on and off the trigger without further adjustments. You want to keep the beans moving, but not so fast that they bunch down toward the bottom of the can.
The heat gun is positioned so that it doesn't blow directly on the beans. Due to the angle of the can, the blast of hot air primarily hits the back of the can above the beans, although they are lofted briefly into the heat by the fins. I'm trying to avoid cauterizing the surface of the beans with a direct blast of air.
The drill is propped up to help prevent beans from spilling. The drill and its prop are sitting on a thin piece of plywood, which makes it easy to slide the can nearer and farther from the heat gun. Distance is how I manipulate heat.
My $20 heat gun has a low (700f) and high (1000f) setting. When roasting outdoors, low was too slow, particularly in cooler or windy weather, but since moving the setup indoors, I've been roasting entirely on low. (Notes about roast "profiles" are here.)
I aim for roast curves similar to the general guidelines Willem Boot described in "Reflections on Roasting Fundamentals" — but sadly the link has disappeared. The general idea, as I recall it now, is to extend the roast between 1st and 2nd crack, without stalling the roast. I think he had tips on how to manage a large commercial roaster to achieve this . However, my setup requires different methods.
For high-density beans, I increase heat farily steadily.
- 1.0" for 1:00 (nozzle 1 inch from can for 1 minute)
- 0.5" for 1:00
- 0.0" for 2:00 - 4:00 (length depends on bean)
- -0.5" until 1C (nozzle is 1/2 inch into the can until first crack)
- 1.0" until 1C is finished
- 0.0" until end
(NB: The timings here worked well for my original 700watt heat gun, but I'm now on my 4th or 5th, and each is different. My current DeWalt is too wimpy on its low settings, so I've extended the nozzle and run it on high. This means I start the can farther away from the nozzle:
- 2.0" for 1:00 (nozzle 2 inches from can for 1 minute)
- 1.75" for 1:00
- 1.5" for 1:00
- 1.25" for 1:00
- 1.0" for 1:00 (nozzle is 1 inch from can and 1st crack usually starts during this interval)
- 1.0" until 1C is finished
- 1.0" or closer, depending on the bean, until the beginning snips of 2nd crack.
For more delicate beans, I might advance in 1/8" increments so they arrive at 1C later. In either case, I prehead the empty can for about 1 minutes before adding any beans.)
I try to apply ample heat for a minute or so before first crack, but different varieties reach 1C at different times, so the 3rd phase of the roast varies in length.
(Guatemala Oriente, for instance, reaches 1C somewhere between 6:30 and 7:00, so I move the nozzle 1/2 inch into the can at 5:30. Kenya Ndaroini hits 1C around 5:00, so I intensify heat at 4:00 minutes.)
For low-density beans, I aim for a gentle, consistent build in heat, ending the roast without too much momentum:
- 1.0" for 3:00
- 0.5" for 3:00
- 0.0" until 1C (30-60 seconds)
- 1.5" until 1C is finished (longer for espresso roasts)
- 0.5" until end
For most roasts, I turn off the heat gun 10 - 20 seconds before cooling. This allows laggers to catch up a bit and helps prevent driving vanguard beans too far into 2C.
This roast of 2.5oz Ophiolite Blend Espresso produced beans with no oil spots, but a nice muted sheen, a decent FC+ roast.
- 1.5" for 1:00
- 1.0" for 2:00
- 0.5" for 3:00
- 0.0" for 2:00 (first snap of 1C @7:52)
- 1.0" for 3:30 (last snap of 1C @10:43)
- 0.5" for 0:40 (2C @11:59)
- heat OFF @12:10
- cooled beans @12:30 (3 or 4 snips into 2C)
Below the can is the cooling tray — just a cardboard box with the bottom cut out and a piece of hardware cloth duct taped inside. Eventually I'll build a light-weight hemlock box.
The entire contraption sits below an ancient ceiling fan in our out-of-code basement bathroom. When the roast is finished, I dump the beans into the box, then hold it under the fan.
The beans cool in about 1 minute. At right is 2 oz of Guatamala Oriente cooled just as it entered 2nd crack.
Here's a short, uneventful movie of the roaster in action. The beans are a couple of minutes prior to 1st crack. In this otherwise unremarkable video, you can see the chaff is separating from the beans and blowing out of the can. In another minute or so, I'll move the nozzle into the can for the final approach to 1st crack.
(If the video window turns white, you may need to scroll the browser window.)
Other roasting methods I've tried
- Hearthware I-Roast I.
My first roaster. I burnt it out after 8 months from overuse. I found it really hard to control, but was hooked on roasting nonetheless.
- Stovetop Popper.
Since we lack a good kitchen fan, and since my family inexplicably doesn't like the smell of coffee, roasted or otherwise, I found consistent results challenging outdoors. Occasionally good batches, particularly for darker roasts. Much better for peaberries than flat beans.
- Heat Gun / Dog Bowl (actually, stainless steel pot)
During good weather, often excellent results — especially for a press pot. Tougher to get good results on cold, windy days.
5-6oz per batch generally yielded more uniform results than smaller batches. 3 or 4 batches in a row were an efficient route to tennis elbow.
Like an open pan on a burner, this method is a quick way to develop good instincts about roasting — the sound, smell, and look of the beans are all readily apparent.
- Heat Gun / Soup Can
(This was my neighbors' favorite method. My setup was next to their kitchen porch, and they, as right-thinking people do, love the smell of coffee.) Outdoors in good weather, yielded good, sometimes excellent results. Consistency still a struggle, particularly in colder weather.
Indoors, I've been very happy with the results. Roasts are much more predictable and reproducable. Small batch size is a disadvantage, unless you love frequent roasting. And, it's effortless. It's also nice not to be turning wooden spoons into charcoal, as happens with the dog bowl method.
- Behmor 1600
My trusty Behmor in mid-roast. I often use it to roast espresso blends or Brazillian coffees. The P2 profile is a little tricky but good for knocking down acidity. Brazil Ipanema Tree Dry Process, the Ophiolite Blend, Puro Scuro and such roast well in this machine.
However, I prefer the heat gun for high-grown, high-density beans. Big fruity or floral coffees roasted in the Behmor taste a bit dull to me. (Some users say Behmor-roasted coffee needs about double the rest period of other methods.)
NOTE: the Behmor depends on adequate voltage. As everyone says, a Kill-o-Watt is an indespensible accessory.
Many users also mention the timer. They'd prefer a count-up to a count-down timer. I've modded my Behmor to have both — nothing like a cheap count-up timer with a magnet.
Below is a 24-second double shot from 15 grams of Brazil Ipanema Tree Dry Process beans. (They're from a 4oz batch roasted in the Behmor. The Behmor was set for a 1/2lb on the P2 C profile, and the roast was cooled 6 snips into 2nd crack).
Producing something like this.
The crema on this 1.5oz double shot is thick and fairly uniform in color. A 0.75oz ristretto will be darker and less uniform. (The pictures of a few pours mainly show patterns in divided double shots or ristretti.

The UofT Naginata Club
The University of Toronto Naginata Club is dedicated to the practice of the Japanese martial art of Atarashii (Modern) Naginata. The group helps to foster the development of Naginata within the university of Canada by providing the opportunity to practice and study modern Naginata on campus.
Naginata is derived from an ancient Japanese weapon art which utilizes a glaive or pole-arm type weapon for offensive as well as defensive techniques. The art has two main components. The first consists of a series of Kata or Forms from which students learn the basic striking points, blocks and footwork. The second is free form sparring. A student who has acquired an exceptional grasp of basics will start to practice with armor (bogu) and learn to strike protected parts of the body directly. This dynamic art places a strong emphasis on martial arts etiquette, form, and respect for others while helping the practitioner to improve balance, concentration, coordination, strength and spirit.
UofT Beginner's Naginata
This student group is dedicated to the introduction of Atarashii Naginata (Modern Naginata) to the University community and the spread of Naginata in Canada and the world. This group focuses on introducing beginners and those interested in exploring new activities the basics of Naginata, its theory and practice.

Just a couple or minutes ago while I was at the kitchen doing the dishes, Z came for me pulling my hand.
"Kom mama! Kom zitten!" (Come mama! Come sit!)
"Mama has to wash the dishes first baby, ok? Just 1 minute..", I explained.
"Afwassen ALWEER??!" (Washing dishes AGAIN??!) (She said the last word with emphasis!)
Maybe I am indeed really sometimes focused with having the chores done – than being with Z!
Hmmm.. Wondering, wondering..


text: The child, if someone hit you, thank the author – Sohu Kehui Kay maternal uncle said kaishushuo three years ago, I had a peep in the fence outside their outdoor activities. A boy did not know what the reasons for the kick kick sister. I did not expect, when the sister rushed forward to push the boy a fart pier. I was a happy, this girl was calm. Then I told her, "dad thought you did a good job today. When you know someone is bullying you, let him know that you are angry and let him stop hurting you. It would be better to warn the boy today if you fight back." "Dad, after that, they hit me again, I would also like to push?" "Well…… To see if he's too strong. If you think he's a lot better than you, dad thinks you should get away from him, or ask the teacher for help. After all, he hit you, you push his purpose is not to hurt him, but let him stop hurting you. This is the same as running away, looking for a teacher." Today's article is very interesting, you can see. After reading, I also want to listen to your opinion. The child beaten, how would you do? See you in the message. There was a topic in the educational world: "if your child is hit by another child, what will you do with your child?" A lot of debate, the deepest impression is the four point: Once upon a time, I have always maintained a certain distance to the subject. Because many years ago, I have no children, the focus of life, is a person's growth. I would not have thought, after many years, when I met the child was beaten, the child's own reaction, it would appear so tolerant and understanding. A few days ago, and her daughter went to the amusement park to play. The weekend's playground like a huge bathhouse, everyone is selfish, seems not to have what intersection. Daughter likes to go to the playground, three years old, more than a child, it seems always feel their own small world. Suddenly, a boy rushed in and took my daughter's toys, and mercilessly hit her face with hands. Why do I think this is hard, because her daughter's face suddenly left in the past. My daughter didn't cry, she was more determined and direct than I was. She reached out and hit the little boy and hit the boy's arm. The boy began to cry, my daughter and I stood in situ. My daughter will be timid, and constantly to me. But she knew that I would never criticize her and make mistakes and take responsibility. Rolling on the boy lying on the ground. My daughter and I stood on the side. This is the first time I've seen a child like this. I have always felt that every child's appearance, is the upbringing of the original family. That kind of deep imprint, is also can not escape escape. His mother ran over and hugged his son and said, "did your sister beat you?". That scene, I felt like I was watching a TV play. Naturally, the boy forgot to reach out and hit my daughter". His mother looked sideways相关的主题文章:

Hi, I'm P and I'm sailing the high seas on my ship, I call her "Playground."
Wait, what's that? I see land, and pirates!
I love pirates! I'm going with you!
Here we go up a mountain.
Down on this side? Nope, better try the other side.
Weeeee! Wait for me, Pirates.
Wow, a waterfall!
Hey, I think...yes, that's me! Just a quick hello.
Hey, Pirates! Wait up, don't leave me here in jail!
Shoo, this has been exhausting. Time for a little rest.
Good thing I had my handy-dandy knee patch pants on. Just the thing for climbing and crawling and chasing after Pirates.

KENT WATCH - A PR initiative about Boards
13 comments:
I think the answer is Z Boards.ReplyDelete
These attach to the front of a zimmer and thus provide work for those having their DLA stopped.
Once they have lost their motability cars they can transfer their disabled parking badges to their zimmers. And park their advertising zimmers on specially designated zimmer paving slab zones. Then depart using their non-advertising back up zimmers.
In a strangely big society way those tripping over zimmers could be refused their no win no fee compensation culture claims and disallowed incapacity benefit too through being fit to work themselves as zimmer operators.
I think you may have a different opinion on this matter if you were unfortunate enough to be visually impaired, or reliant on being in a wheelchair or mobility scooter for getting around.ReplyDelete
In an ideal world these things would police themselves, but we are not, and so they don't.
Anonymous (arnt they always)5:17. I WISHReplyDelete
I cant walk to it if it is the other side of the room I am stuck. You as the previous poster said have a different opinion of disability I wish I could walk a mile in your shoes but even in my wildest darkest days would never wish what I endure on a daily basis upon you and I hope you never endure a disability.
I am anon 5.17 and I am 63 and have been disabled since I was 21 .. lighten up and grow a pair. You hover around looking for reasons to feel sorry for yourselves. You wouldn't have the courage to walk a mile in my shoes. Naff off the pair of you losers.ReplyDelete
yeah anon can say that and disappearReplyDelete
As for A boards some time ago TDC went round doing a similar thing yet had great big posters strapped to railings advertising the big event. KCC have to justify their existance and why they pay such big salaries and give such big pensions. We all know the answer we are paying the wages. The EU bring in stupid rules and it has rubbed off onto KCC
KENT WATCH?ReplyDelete
"A" boards are a bit trivial.
What about KCC planning to remove thousands of street lights and turning most of the rest off just when night, shift workers and criminals need them.
What about KCC managing director Katherine Kerswell leaving so soon from her £197k post. I hope there is no £400k pay off this time.
I think anon 05:17 was being ironic, although, maybe it wasn't necessary on such a topic. He/she is right though, as others are, that this is down to two things: consideration for pavement users and the usual fear of litigation.ReplyDelete
But in the tabloid reader's world it's all elf & safety gorn mad and a waste of taxpayers money!!!
2 22 well er.. clearly my finger has slipped off the pulse or perhaps the batterys gone on the pace maker yes point takenReplyDelete
.. And did you missed the news about Kent's and all the other grammar schools in the country are being allowed to expand and even could be given permission to build new premises and start new schools. Its not a done deal yet by most things that minister Gove proposes like Free schools become a reality.ReplyDelete
the grammer schools thing i did get, frankly i see this as little more than a eugenics in action. it doesnt work unless you happen to be a moral bankrupt tory who would like to send their kids to public school but accept this social segregation as an alternativeReplyDelete
Academic selection is not based on social background, Tony. I was a grammar school boy and, along with many of my friends, we lived on the St.Peter's council estate. I have felt a lifelong gratitude for the opportunity that education gave me.ReplyDelete
There were also a couple of snooty kids lived near me who went to Haddon Dene whilst I was at the local primary. I got to Chatham House and they to St. George's, despite the fact their folks were better off.
It's called social mobility, but without grammars the well heeled go to their Etons and Harrows whilst the rest of us go to the one size fits all comprehensive.
Looks like KCC managing director Katherine Kerswell's lawyers were too good for KCC's briefs. With a 4year contract it looks like it would have been rather expensive to sack her or make her redundant.ReplyDelete

OB, Family Doctor, or Midwife?
When you think about pregnancy and delivering a baby, you naturally assume that you're talking about having an obstetrician as your health care provider. After all, when it comes to the medical field obstetricians are the ones with the most training and education. That said, many women choose to use another provider for their baby, for any number of reasons. There are many factors that go into choosing what kind of health care provider you want to delivery your baby, including your health history, personal preferences, financial situation and more.
There are essentially three choices when it comes to choosing a health care provider to deliver your baby:
- Obstetrician. An obstetrician or OB/GYN is a medical doctor that specializes in pregnancy and birth. They're also trained in the female reproductive system, and able to provide surgical care for women's needs. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or have a history of complications, chances are pretty good you'll want an obstetrician. Generally, an obstetrician will delivery your baby in a hospital setting, although some may also work with birthing centers.
- Family practitioner. Some generalists may have experience working in family medicine, and that may also include handling low risk pregnancies. In fact, a family practitioner is the most common type of doctor for low risk pregnancies. Generally speaking, a family doctor will delivery your baby in a hospital setting.
- Midwife. A certified nurse-midwife has a nursing degree plus specialized midwifery training. There are also midwives that are certified professional midwives who do not have a nursing degree but do have midwifery training. A midwife often offers the least invasive type of birthing experience. Midwives are almost exclusively used in low risk pregnancies. Midwives may delivery babies in a hospital, birthing center or even in a home birth.
If you're pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, do some research to see what kinds of options you may have in your area in terms of a health care provider to deliver your baby. Obviously, your own particular medical situation plays an important role, as well.

Good evening! Tomorrow I am going shopping with my friend, and while I was making sure I had everything in my purse, I remembered that I had wanted to do a "What's in my bag" post a while back. Now, there is nothing extraordinary or of high interest in my bag since I usually try to get by with carrying around as little as possible. This however is more than I usually lug around.
I got this purse from T.J. Maxx before I went to England. I tried to make a practical yet fashionable choice, and I'm glad to report that it lived up to expectations. It can be worn multiple ways since it is one of those bags where the top half can fold over. The lighting is horrible I know. Sorry for that! Since this was the only bag I had with me for most of my time across the ocean, it has been through practically everything. It's still holding up quite nicely though even if it is looking a little more battered than when I purchased it. This is the first time I've used it since I got back...which is why there is still so much useless junk in it!
Starting from the top left is my wallet. Yes, I'm aware that it is fake, but that didn't bother me, and there is no way that I'll be able to afford a real one anytime soon. I really like it because it has loads of slots that can hold my multitude of cards. Things like my license, ID from the English university I attended, my study abroad ID, credit and debit cards, insurance cards, phone card from when I was abroad (that I never used...sorry mom), discount card, oyster card, Barnes & Noble gift card etc. Notice that half of these are from when I was abroad and I most likely won't be using them any time soon. There is also a money pocket which holds a measly $20.00 haha!
Next to my wallet is my coin purse that is full of mostly quarters for doing my laundry. I think it was actually supposed to be for children, but it serves it's purposes rather nicely.
Above the coin purse is a bottle of ibuprofen for those pesky headaches. How thrilling! ;)
The rest is pretty much useless clutter including a sainsbury's receipt, baggage claim ticket, flight itinerary and boarding pass, Target receipt, taxi receipt, and a cash machine receipt. Then we have a set of airplane headphones that haven't even been opened, two unopened, and two opened packs of gum, more headphones, a pen, and 33 pence (Practically rich!). I didn't photograph my camera, iPod, keys/school ID, or phone, but these things do end up in my purse on occasion.
Also in my purse is this cosmetic bag. I don't always carry this around with me since I usually tend to use smaller purses. This bag holds a travel sized perfume (Couture Couture by Juicy Couture), Hand sanitizer (Sweet Pea), an EOS lip balm (Lemon Drop), tissues, lotion, travel size toothbrush and toothpaste, compact mirror, and neosporin. Also at the bottom of the bag are some bobby pins, hair ties, Q-tips, and a band-aid. I did not think these were worthy enough of photographing!
I know this was maybe a bit too detailed, but I'm quite nosey and like details, and it would have been better in video format, but I'm a blogger not a vlogger.
I wish all of you a splendid weekend!
Keep Smiling,

I worked throughout April on a new manuscript as a part of Camp NaNoWriMo. This is no secret, and was actually a part of my temporary radio silence. At the end of the month, I had met my word goal by writing 40,111 words, but had not actually finished the story. I suppose I should have aimed for a higher word count, but based on the last couple I had written, my young adult first drafts tend to hit slightly on the lower side.
While I am still completing this novel, I am also beginning to think about the next step. No, not publication and inevitable success. (Okay, maybe occasionally. I am an unapologetic dreamer after all.) No, as I finish my mind begins to turn to the dreaded task of editing.
There are different views to editing, and honestly different needs based on the writer. Many successful writers have made statements indicating that editing was a key part of their success. True or not, Ernest Hemingway is credited with stating, "The first draft of anything is shit." Of course there are others who only edit for spelling errors, and are completely happy with their end results. So who is right? I don't know, and I don't really care.
For me, I hate editing. It requires me to be objective about my own writing and my own story. I begin to second guess everything and suddenly I not only believe Hemingway, but I realize that no matter how much you polish, a turd is still a turd. I take everything about my own writing personally because it is technically personal. This is something that came from inside me. Even if it's not actually my biography there are parts of me in every character and every choice.
It's much easier to be objective and honest when I am working with someone else's work. I've done beta reading before, reading the draft of a story and giving honest feedback. I feel like I can give constructive criticism without making it unnecessarily cruel. It's not about what I like or don't like, it's about what makes sense. Occasionally, I even do it without thinking.
I recently finished a novel, a new adult story that at first seemed like a straight forward girl goes away to college and falls into the middle of a love triangle. Instead it felt to me to be several books in one. As I read I could not help but cut through the chapters mumbling to myself about what was unnecessary and what was distracting or weird. To me, this book needed some severe editing and should not have gone to print without it. But then, as far as I could find, the writer is at least reasonably successful so my opinion may be the unpopular one on this book.
I hate editing because at the end of the day it is going to arbitrary. There are many books I have read and wondered how the hell they got to print through a major publishing house without someone saying something about editing the story in some way. If I had been the agent, or publishing house rep, I would have sent it back and said redo it and we'll try again. But no one did, and the world (or part of it) thanks them for sending it through as is. I can look at someone else's work and whine about how they should have done things, and doubt all of my own work, but at the end of the day I am only one reader. My opinion is not the one that makes decisions, and clearly I shouldn't be the one to make those decisions. I might have saved the world from some poorly written books, but I also would have saved myself and everyone else from a large quantity of money.
So what does this mean for my own editing? Hell if I know. I guess it means I will be one of those writers who needs someone else to help me sort through my own mess.
