In Warsaw amok: The Spirit of Magdalene survived! In
I hasten to report that the spirit of our venerable patron survived in all its glory. Oddly arrived in England shortly after the death of its owner.
Well, I learned that a lady, the Baroness, moreover, (a trained doctor, but the educational baronowych not be said), in 1974, invented a new disease. Together with her husband, then read on the pages of the British Medical Journal, a doctor's letter about the disease known as "guitar nipple." They recognized that it must be a joke and responded to the next - a letter sent to the warehouse on the ailments suffered by cellists, which was dubbed "scrotum cellist." For better the effect of the letter signed by the husband of the Baroness that the relevant medical education has never received. A letter was published, and the story was sufficiently "plausible" that scrotum cellist mentioned recently in a major article on the diseases of musicians, moreover, published in the pages of the venerable magazine. Reading this article, the Baroness decided to admit that was a joke scrotum cellist. Baroness says:
anyone who has ever seen play the cello, she knows that what we have described is a physical impossible.
In conclusion: I do not know well, or enjoy the world's idea of \u200b\u200bpeople continue to live with a sense of humor and good ideas, and worry that modern doctors are totalnymi ciulami.
Update (02/04/2009): It turns out that the same thing on the scrotum cellist was not unusual. It concluded simply that the long plays the cello can result in irritation of the scrotum player. Original content of the letter is available here.
In the morning I like to read the Internet. So I did a morning review of my blogging friend, and when I said that is not posted as long as nothing new and that everything has already read, I found that maybe I'll look at gazeta.pl. So far, I wondered why some people so excited about your submissions there articles - like those articles simply do not and therefore am not excited by them.
In any case, because the more I ate breakfast, I decided to look at and something to read. I lowered the veil of silence over reports in the style brukowym eyes and searched for something more interesting. My eye caught a title of an article telling Wasting time at work . The author shows how much time we waste the perishable office equipment, which we devoured was a letter to the customer, and unreliable contractors who are late for their meetings and have to wait for them. And now the worst, as we wait for someone outside of our work - then there remains nothing else for us as (horror of horrors!) Read at that time a newspaper or book. What a scandalous way to waste time at work - instead of doing another table with the calculations in Excel or one of the very useful summaries of something there, or just write a report about the matters which the immediate priority is to report the world's water management policy, we simply sit with a coffee starting with reading the next chapter Samozwaniec Magdalene.
In this article I liked the most part:
might seem that this problem of trivial, after resetting the computer is just a jiffy. I checked. Effect: 7 minutes and 28 seconds to re-open the file with this text. And so I'm lucky, because colleagues in the sales department need a few more minutes to log into the database. Suppose you lose is 15 minutes twice a day (it happens), it is 6 hours per month. Plus to break out to the bathroom, etc., it appears that the monthly falls all day long! And this is the first example from the shore, because others are losing even more time.
Imagine! Six hours per month to restart your computer + breaks for tea and piss! It is after all a total of 12 hours, and that the month has an average of 160 hours to be worked, how to take away those 12, it's actually nothing is.
I've seen in their (total) very long life, dozens of articles, which calculates how much time we waste on the pee, for tea, on the Announcement of a pen, and on respiration. The figures clearly indicate that if a man being in work focusing on the work, rather than deal with insignificant issues such as physiological needs, effectiveness would increase by tens of percents. Then life would have taken an even greater pace and it was decided that the working day should last 12 hours not 8, because if we have so much to increase the efficiency in the 8-hour day, how will our extraordinary performance during the 12-hour day!
so seriously - I would love to have someone at the end of the treated seriously. I would like to end up one of the sites appeared nationwide text is not about how much time we waste at work, but how much time we wasted work. My calculations are very simple: 8 hours per day + travel, namely from 0.5 h up to 2 hours one way. Assuming an average, we have 10 hours a day for 5 days a week for 4 weeks = 200 hours per month.
I live in the blissful hope that more and more people expect from life, however, something more than analysis of sales of hot dogs at a gas station and draw from an analysis of proposals on how this sales increase. I hope that more and more people want something concrete and substantial, and not knowing how to push someone another useless tube of cream or how to convince him that he needs what you do not need.
But I am afraid that these are just my dreams. poczytalnia
In amok I fall, I look at Web sites devoted to the so-called. articles of luxury. I know that in our country the concept of luxury goods continue to mean what is the proper brand and pretty much it costs. How something is cheaper, it certainly can not be a luxury - because who's heard that the clothes were worth pennies is to bear or to undermine the use in the kitchen grater, which costs less than 200 zł (as it costs less, it is either to sucks, or is not grater).
Sites like www.luxlux.pl or koneser.interia.pl present a lot of fashion, and often the "good" fashion, because I agree that the great fashion designers is to inspire rather than to be something practical, but unfortunately none of the sites failed to create an equitable division of the culinary. Well, Culinary luxury in our country are mainly some bizarre snacks that the smakoszostwem do not have much in common. What counts is the brand according exposed to a beautiful package, and the right price. The actual taste or even the question of the availability of similar quality and taste of products at a lower price - do not have the slightest importance. That surprises me even more that, while the average Pole can see the latest collections from the Paris catwalk and then convert it to street fashion in szmateksie, Reserved, or H & M, they do not quite know what to do with the information would be of limited Revision of chocolates available only in Belgium or with a special fruit syrup, which, with international credit card, can be ordered from the United States for only $ 150 half-liter bottle. Alternatives are not present, a person poorly oriented in the market itself does not find them. I purposely ignore the fact anything that eating only as indicated on the package label is a big mistake.
separate issue is that it really is getting palpitations of the brain (and frequent) where, as already mentioned portal Connoisseur, a gallery under the name Gourmet find articles about:
Is this really what topics are the main field of interest to people seeking information about a luxury food? Do you prefer it to show of folklore, on which we and so will not happen, but in the evenings before bed, we can dream that maybe one day you take a bath in wine sygnowanym Playboy bunnies along with Claudia Schiffer? I really do not know who they are needed at all these fotonewsy. I do not ... As with everything, it turns out that if you want a quality level, then you have to create it yourself.

recently saw a really wonderful thing! As we all know, a species guide culinary / culinary book has been almost completely exploited: everyone is going off (from the chefs' grandmother's cousin sister cousin of a famous star ") and everything. Therefore, the publisher apparently looking for other opportunities to encourage the reader to buy another book on cakes, salads or ways for a successful party. So also in our bookstores appeared bound in a beautiful and big box book about fish. The book is obviously a word in this case very inappropriate, because it is rather a 30-page brochure (like once I got the brochure as the dietary food for free, so that the other was just around the cans of Rolled and fiber niegustownie pushed into a transparent plastic tube). The provisions contained therein, though richly illustrated with tasteful photos, but this is neither original nor encouraging to cook, or even interesting. However, it is a decoy (because the book is clearly just an excuse) - together with this booklet in an elegant box placed fish cutlery set for 6 people . Now, those who eat fish and have already acquired an adequate amount of culinary items on the subject, but have not yet seen the need to eat fish dishes special cutlery (and definitely not have wanted them to go to the store to the household to purchase any, cutlery), may feel such a need, seeing this book. I do not know if anyone will buy this set for the book itself, but the desire to acquire shiny, brand new cutlery from 7% tax, instead of similar (though probably a bit better quality) to 22% and that without books, and position can outweigh the sales.
books I personally do not buy with cutlery. I would rather "The best cakes universe. A collection of 6 free with an oven. " Besides waiting for a new collectible series, such as collection of "Restaurant" - the first number of the cornerstone for only 9.99 (serial number of the regular price of 199.99 with the chef and menu patterns). Alternatively, it could tempt me guide "How to become a great chef and open his own restaurant at the weekend."
book with cutlery available in Empik and Merlin for (respectively) and 57 zł 55.49 (regular price - 59.90). Culinary
already lamented the cultural life in our city, but it turns out that in some sense we have cultural life. Yet we can make them almost daily to buy the newspaper, this or that. Film plenty of newspapers, books or can be purchased at a kiosk (now issued a series of Jane Austen, which incidentally has a better cover than that given by the resumption of Prószyński and S Barrack , because they are not film stills). And since Jan. 29 Election a new collection starts (did not give yet probably only the cutlery and china, but I could be wrong) "Grand Opera". It will be a 20-volume series: each volume will include presentation of opera on DVD, music (in another embodiment than on the DVD) on CD and a book with information about the author and the creation of the work. The first one goes Carmen, which will be available at a promotional price of 9.99 (interesting, how many will be more volumes - something it seems to me that after 29.99: P). While the entire collection can be purchased now Now for only - Note - 449 gold and 82 cents per page Cultural store.
course I buy, but I already really tired of newspapers and publishing a series of collections of books, films, plates, utensils, toys, flip-flops, dinosaurs and bicycles in self-assembly and chess and other games with the figures of this or any other era.
As you've probably all noticed, live the last period of fascination with opera. Took maybe it's unbearable stupidity paid employment - to while away the hours spent in the office and not allow them to be completely fruitless and utterly wasted, I started to listen to the radio last.fm classical and baroque. At the end of the opera house came over to me and I liked it, but unfortunate, cut and torn from their respective circumstances, fragments of the songs did not satisfy me. Thus, I have made the first purchase: Verdi Aida that the next day at work listened to 5 times.
However, I have a huge backlog. And yet, gout (which is taken the luxurious life) in the family obligations! I'm trying to catch up quickly, therefore arrears. And so, without knowing too much, but having as guides innate good taste, reliable Wikipedia aunt and irreplaceable and worthy of Joseph Władysław Reiss (and his Little encyclopedia of music), I managed to build up a taste of opera. Well, first of all I like baroque opera: Vivaldi, Purcell , Gluck, Lully . Besides surely Verdi. I did not take up too Puccini, Monteverdi , Bizet or Wagner. (For all the time will come.) But what is most important - I know perfectly well what kind of voice best suits me. Diagnosed because of their strong dependence on countertenors. Passions can listen to them! Led
today that total dependence on purchased CD amok Andreas Scholl, whose voice is very responsible to my taste, because it is something exactly between female and male voice. It is not as high as the voice of Jaroussky'ego and therefore more likely to reach lower registers, which makes me euphoric. Euphoria similar to that which made me Diva Plavalaguny the fifth element . With a beautiful female voice, wonderfully mined with very low noises.
Coming back to the Scholl - I had to buy a CD because the recording Jaroussky'ego still come to me to wait (merlin.pl promises that it will be sometime around February 15 - will see if the promise to fulfill), and I am no longer able to listen to poor quality recordings from YouTube, in addition to jumping from the window pane and including re still the same songs. So I yielded and bought in exchange Scholl, who did not disappoint me one bit.
is interesting, however, is how I landed on the trail of the counter (on the trail with her aunt came Jaroussky'ego Wikipedia). It turns out that I have natural talent, a special gift that makes sense countertenors (though I suspect that if it ever occurred to anyone to teach me singing opera, he śpiewałbym including voice). Looking at the album art in all likelihood I am able to say (without reading subtitles), which contains a recording of the counter. Today, Having little time to browse the contents of the shelves, I found two. I bought one, second, unfortunately, he sang the unbearable, and quite depressing organ of German music, so I forgave myself. Is this situation are wrong all those who speak of me as a man of extremely good taste and sophistication? : P It is after all apparently innate in me!
At the end of the sample Scholl (unfortunately from YouTube), and the promise that tomorrow I will write less about opera, and more about kulinariach (promise to be afraid, because I do not even know what terrible things lined up for you!).
ran amok in the kitchen, wanting to brew some coffee, because I had to run hard, night wades through the morass and barbed knowledge. Still, the view from the eyes of an article about coffee from the latest Chef, I decided to drink his portion of the first thinned slightly with milk and then thicken the chocolate. It came out something quite different ... important, however, that the preparation It did not take too much time, and the result was all too satisfactory. Therefore, all the busy and bustling, I recommend learning fast coffee and Chocolate Cream Energizing!
Ingredients: 2 cups decent cup of espresso ¾ milk chocolate, 40 grams (less than half of the plate) 10 ml dark rum
Execution: brew coffee. The greater part of the milk boil the coffee, stir it in a smaller potato flour. Milk and pour coffee rozrobioną flour and boil again, stirring constantly. Melt the chocolate in the cream, mix thoroughly. Add the sugar and rum - mix a second time. At the bottom of the salad bowls appetite, you can put biscuits, crushed biscuits and butter cookies. Let kremowi bit przestygnąć and eat.
I hasten to report that the spirit of our venerable patron survived in all its glory. Oddly arrived in England shortly after the death of its owner.
