Humor and Guilt

An article where we discuss the relationship of humor, seriousness and guilt.
In one of the numerous and astonishingly tedious lectures I received as a boy, my father said, “stop making jokes, son, life is very serious,” and he meant it. Well, he wasn’t wrong but then I had trouble taking him seriously. I tend to forget even now that he went through the depression and was raised a Victorian. Those events were apparently enough to suck the laughter out of the most cheerful of men.

I’ll tell you the genesis of this little essay. I am supposed to be writing a serious tome about the Lemon law for the public market. Instead I have written several entries to the Bulwer Lytton Contest. This is a contest where the writer must create the worst possible opening paragraph for a novel. As I was writing I was feeling guilty and laughing at the same time. Here is my entry; it won’t win; there are worse…sigh.

Franny Portly slithered down Elm (of the species Ulmus) Street as sleek as a Python after dining on goat, yet certainly there was an element of awkward, gawky, stumbling child to her winsome gait, as winsome as one can be when one has hips like a Peterbilt and wears a 46 D cup, I noticed this from the two corners of my steel hard eyes as I crept from my Lamborghini Muira 6.5 Litre 8 cylinder bordello red roadster. I muttered chattily to myself, a Chevie Caprice would have been more sensible.

Catchy, huh? Unquestionably a Best Seller I will get back to serious writing any moment as it is a fine assignment and the client is great.

This business of being serious and lighthearted didn’t end there as you might guess. I can’t remember the number of times I have come to work at various jobs only to be met by Mister or Missus Sour. They ask, “What are you smiling about? It isn’t even nine o’clock?” An echo of, “Life is very serious,” can be heard faintly. Or, “I have heard that people who smile all the time aren’t very bright.” If this is true, I probably have an IQ of 12 and shouldn’t be allowed to tie my shoes without help.

The New England work ethic at war with laughter. It’s a terrible dichotomy: The awful disease of laughter. Squadrons of misanthropes have been looking for the cure for centuries without success.

Humor is a mental health thing; far better than drugs or electric shock, which proves conclusively that mental health “professionals” don’t have much in the way of a sense of humor. I have been waiting for those fellas to name humor as a syndrome, assign all manner of mind destroying behaviors to it, thus allowing them to “treat” (read that as drug or shock insensible) those suffering from this heinous malady.

I am convinced that I would have been dead years ago if I didn’t still find things that make me laugh aloud. Okay, I am getting more focused now.

“It was a grim, terrifying, soft rainy evening lit by the occasional shaft of sunlight searing the forest floor like a nuclear furnace, but not sufficiently to cause any permanent damage, although damage to one might be an ecological imperative to another: who knows? Jaanne Eyre, who did not think of herself as a damsel in distress, screamed with inappropriate dread…”

All right, I think I have it out of my system for the moment. “No more guilt, please,” he said for no good reason whatsoever.

So where do I start with seven solid albums from one of Canada’s most successful rock bands Triumph. The 80’s were very good to this band and fittingly they decided to remaster their entire output of that period, a whopping seven year span in which the band established themselves as one of the premier rock trios in the world. Rik Emmett (guitars and vocals), Mike Levine (bass), and Gil Moore (drums and vocals), formed an incredibly dynamic and powerful trio. Emmet and Moore both had tremendous voices, perfectly suited for their high-energy guitar oriented rock. Moore had the stronger voice of the two vocalists however Emmet had a more distinct sound that you could immediately identify with the group. He sang the lead on big hits like “Never Surrender” and “Magic Power.” Bass Mike Levin player was on hand to remaster every album in this series. He was thrilled to be part of this process and stated that he relived all the great times the band went through during the recordings.

I must say the results are jaw dropping; the remastered sound is incredibly good on all seven discs. What is more impressive is the band released all the music on their label TML. They do not include any bonus tracks, which is nearly a given when something is remastered and repackaged. This is such solid music that they do not need bonus tracks to entice the true fan to repurchase the albums. Each album stands on its own merit entirely with incredible sound and sonics, breathing new life into each track.

I think most ardent fans of Triumph will agree that their strongest and most popular releases were Allied Forces and Never Surrender. Both are solid rock classics that still hold up very well to this day, more so now because of the renewed sound, it pops and crackles with the true spirit of the band when they originally recorded all of this music. Stages is an excellent compliment to all of the studio albums, highlighting the band’s live show with superior sound and production.

The artwork for each album is superb as well. In regards to color and effect, many of the covers reminded me of the early Alan Parsons Project albums (especially The Sport of Kings). Everything about this remastered series is positive. It most certainly adds credence to the Triumph legacy, and more than likely will reawaken old fans and create new ones. I always enjoyed their music, I just never realized how much until I experienced all seven releases in their entirety. I was presented a great opportunity to hear an immense rock band at their peak, do not miss your opportunity to do the same. This set is well worth your hard-earned dollars.

Virginia Wine Tasting

Living the Good Life
By Jim Bogaty- Owner Veramar Vineyard

In Virginia winery tasting rooms, learn “how to taste wine”

A wine tasting tutorial
Do you think people who visit winery-tasting rooms know a lot about wine? Well some do, but most don’t. No matter, that’s not a hindrance to enjoying wine. The local wine establishments welcome you to visit their tasting rooms. Go out to the winery and meet the winemakers. DO NOT fear visiting a winery. The winery wants you to taste their wine and if they are good, they will do everything they can to make you feel comfortable in their tasting room. Hospitality is everything.

Few things are more intimidating than wine tasting. You may feel that you lack the knowledge and experience to properly taste wines. First thing that any wine taster should do is “relax!” This is a very personal experience. There are few absolutes in wine tasting or few “right” or “wrong” perceptions. The ultimate evaluation of any wine is “Do you like it!” Remember, wine is supposed to be fun.

Here’s how it goes at most Virginia local winery tasting rooms: The visitor settles in. A small amount of wine is poured - usually a series of whites to start, then a series of reds. Dry wines to begin, then sweeter wines to finish. For the most part, whites are light and easier to taste. Reds tend to have more complex, heavier flavors; you don’t want to overwhelm your taste buds by tasting them first. Drink some water or have a cracker after tasting a wine to cleans your palate in order to better appreciate the next wine.

How do I taste wines? It’s as simple as 1-2-3.

There are three aspects to tasting any wine. 1 Color- 2 Smell - 3 Taste

First color
First step is to look at the wine in the wine glass. OBSERVE color and clarity. Wines should be clear rather than hazy. When you look at a wine it is important to take your time. Disregard everything you have seen in commercials and movies, 99.9% of that is wrong. Lighting is important, because you cannot observe the colors of a wine in a dark room. Bright sunlight is best. Set the glass on the tasting bar on a white napkin. Do not hold your glass up and look from underneath. The colors behind the glass will influence your impression of the wine’s color. Look down at a slight angle into the wine glass. Note the subtle colors. Is it a ruby red? A plum red? Is it a pale straw gold color? Does it have hints of green? Taking time to really look at your wine will enhance your pleasure. Wine color is affected most by: the age of the wine, grape variety, whether or not the wine spent time in oak. White wines vary from clear to deep golden brown, and gain color as they age. Red wines range from ruby to brick. As they age, they lose color and begin to brown. Also, observe the body of the wine by the way it coats the sides of the glass. If the “legs” trickle down slowly, it has more body. If it falls down in sheets, it has less body.

Second smell
The second step is to swirl the wine in the wine glass. Swirling the wine increases the surface area exposure to the air and helps release the wine’s bouquet or aroma.
What is the very first thing you think of when you smell a wine? Sniffing the wine from the glass will release smells which can be described as Fruity, Savoury, Dairy, Nutty, Spicy, Mineral, Sugary, Woody, Floral, Herbal.Younger wines have a fruity bouquet whereas older wines tend to have a savoury and spicy bouquet. While different people will smell different things in the same wine, there are characteristic smells generally found in specific varieties. Be sure to smell the wine several times. A wine with great complexity will offer different aromas each time, as well as several scents at one time. There are hundreds of smells in wine!

“Off smells” include:
Sherry - the wine has oxidized from age or improper storage.
Vinegar - the wine contains excessive acetic acid.
Cork/Mustiness - a defective or inferior cork has affected the wine.
Sulfur - the wine contains excessive sulfur dioxide.

And third the Taste
The final step in tasting is to actually take a sip of the wine and swirl it in your mouth. Different parts of the tongue register different tastes. Roll the wine across your taste buds, keeping in mind that a balance of the following characteristic is ideal:

Body - Fullness or thinness. A function of both alcohol and glycerols.

Fruitiness - Intensity is a function of the variety, growing conditions and winemaking techniques.

Sweetness is tasted at the tip of the tongue. The wine can be medium, dry or sweet. - Comes from the wine’s fruit flavors as well as any fermented grape sugars left in the wine. If there is no perceived sweetness, a wine is “dry”.

Acidity is tasted on the sides of the tongue. White wines have more acidity than red wines. Acidity provides tartness to the wine. Gives the wine crispness and freshness, without which the wine is flat and sour.

Tannin is tasted at the back of the tongue and tastes bitter like a strong cup of tea that makes your mouth fur up (that slight ‘pucker feeling’.) - The bitterness you taste comes from grape skins and seeds. It is essential to the finish of a wine. Most obvious in reds.

Alcohol is sensed at the back of the throat and gives a warming sensation. The higher the level of sugar in the grapes before fermentation, the higher potential alcohol the wine will have.

After swallowing, notice the aftertaste. EVALUATE THE FINISH - Savoring. Concentrate on the wine’s finish (the sensation and flavors left in your mouth after swallowing. Did you like it? Why or why not? What did you notice about the body? How long did the impression/flavor linger? How long does the wine stay in your mouth? Finish is a term that describes the length of time you can taste the wine once you have swallowed. A crisp, clean and lingering finish is a mark of a good wine.

So please go visit the local tasting rooms at the wineries. Here are some for wineries for you to try; Veramar Vineyard www.veramar.com, Piedmont, North Mountain or Breaux. Visit Virginia Wine Country on the web at http://www.virginiawine.org for a complete listing of Virginia wineries.

There you go and there you have it. Go to a local winery tasting room so you can continue your journey in the world of wine with a better understanding of how to taste wine.

Durom Cup Hip Lawsuits Not Superb for Hip Replacement Patients

Numerous implant recipients who experienced dorum hip used in their hip cup replacement surgeries are encountering that there are complications that far surpass the normal expectations for recovery. These poor people are experiencing a lot of unneeded pain for lengthier time periods, needing a revision surgical processes and increased medical costs, and losing revenue by not being able to work at their official jobs. Although Zimmer Holdings, Inc. is claiming that that their hip replacement implant is not defective and have basically denied blame for the surgical failures, some poor people are filing lawsuits against them and accepting settlements.

Sometime during October, 2008 Zimmer announced that it had reserved $47.5 million to compensate for claims that had been filed against them. Many MD’s are not positive that the implant is is not the issue like the company has stated. In fact, when Zimmer offered on-line coaching to physicians in order to teach them what they said were more accurate techniques for doing the implant surgery, roughly 1/2 of the physicians refused to participate. Hence, the whole situation remains to be irritating for all parties attached, but none more than the hundreds of poor people who are needing a revision surgery because of the issues with their implant experiencing failures.

These hurt unfortunate people definitely merit some aid and restitution which obviously is why product liability attorneys are suggesting and telling them to initiate lawsuits. revision hip replacement has been paying out of court for some of these claims. Even So, even if the payoff they are being offered seems like a fair amount, in many cases poor people are settling too fast and without allowance being made for repeat problems if they happen down the road. Without waiting to find out what an actual case is worth, individuals may find themselves ending up paying alot more money from their own personal assets when more medical issues exist or surface.

Anyone who believes they probably have a claim against Zimmer needs to start checking into it. If you imagine you could qualify, you should probably call a attorney to verify this info. Look for a firm that covers across the country and specializes in litigation against flawed medical devices. This law firm has gone so far as to setup a special section to uncover the details and handle the claims against Zimmer and win substantial settlements for their customers.

If your orthopedic surgeon lets you know that you require a revision operation to repair your Zimmer Durom hip replacement device, get in touch with an lawyer immediately.

It is of course the moment to overhaul or perhaps rejuvenate even if it be your self or maybe the condo. Sweet-smelling Scented Candles are also a stunning tactic to usher when it’s a new season.

Once the celebration is beginning to relocates open-air, adding floating Scented Candles to some beautification is a certain fire approach to tag farther aura. swimming candles come in so innumerable appearances & measurements however my favorite are also the flower shaped ones. Planting a few larger pieces on a swimming pool or maybe duck pond take back memories of cotillions and terrific affairs of days gone by. Votive Scented Candles could occasionally be useful in the place of floating candles. Make sure to use the votive candles out of its hardware container so that it might afloat properly. Should you be ready to give it a go and purchase scented candles have look here.

By the summer season allowing people to delight outside and reside garden candle care may change.

These may work in the indoors or perhaps mild nights but not if those is any breeze. A further alternative on these after hours is to use flameless candles.

“Lots Of Fish In The Sea…”

Part One | by Jeremy Rizal S.

Mary was dumped by her boyfriend. Everywhere that Mary went the gossip was sure to go. Her work mates were of no help whatsoever. When she got within hearing distance of them, they’d pretend to be nice to her. And he was tired of hearing the same old phrase over and over…

“Don’t worry girl, there’s lots of other fish in the sea…”

The day dragged on and on. The paperwork was unrelenting. The boss was a pain, the stupid secretary kept staring at her, the jerk in the next cubicle was already trying to ask her out, the copier was messed up because someone had photocopied his butt as a prank… one of the major reasons why office copiers quit working. Mary was annoyed!

Finally the workday was over! She went home, locked herself in the house, ripped the phone cord out of the wall, and isolated herself from the rest of the world, sinking deeper into the Sea of Self-Pity. “Who cares about the other fish? I want the one that got away!” she muttered to herself. All that wasted time, the waiting for the right fish to come. Waiting and baiting, luring and scoring…

…And then the yanking away! Another trophy fish… Gone.

She grabbed her diary and pen from under her bed and made herself as comfortable as possible. She jotted her thoughts…
