Pots & Pans – Should You Invest in Calphalon® Cookware?

Whether you are a professional chef, gourmet cook or home cook, an investment in the right pots and pans can pay dividends with years of good service and successful results. Almost every cook has had the experience of laboring over a dish for hours and waiting in eager anticipation to enjoy the results only to find the food ruined because it is burned in some spots and undercooked in others. The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten and that is especially true when it comes to cookware – you get what you pay for.

Good quality cookware begins with top quality materials and includes superior design and craftsmanship. Longstanding brands which have been around for some time have made the investments necessary to perfect the design and finish of their goods so they conduct heat efficiently and evenly and maintain their shape. When a pan warps it will not rest level on the cooking surface – this can lead to hot spots and failure to distribute heat evenly. A better quality pan will not warp but even the best quality cookware must be treated responsibly to ensure years of good service.

This means that if you have goods which feature a non-stick coating you must use the right cooking utensils in order to maintain the surface integrity. Metal utensils can scratch and mar the finish. When cleaning pans lined with a non-stick finish you should use the appropriate abrasives; never use a stainless steel scrubber or a scouring pad. No pan should be immersed in water when it is hot or even warm – this will cause even the best quality pan to warp.  Let your pans cool to room temperature before cleaning, even if it means that some food residue will remain.

There are many reputable brands to consider when you are ready to invest in new cookware and the easy way to do your research is by shopping online and places like bedbathandbeyond.com because they offer a wide range of options at great prices. It’s easy to compare the features and benefits of things like Calphalon® cookware plus you can read reviews and look at ratings. Reviews are helpful because they tell you what real people think about the items you may be considering and offer a perspective that is different than that presented by the manufacturer or a retail sales associate. Always keep in mind too that reputable brands and retailers stand behind the goods they sell so you have some options in the event you encounter a problem.

The Frustrated Pianist in Me

Every time I get the chance to pass by a music shop, I tend to pause and look for a piano's price and the like. Why? Maybe ever since when I was a kid, I always wanted to own one piano may it be a grand or not. Unfortunately, we can't afford to buy such that is why I settled for a much cheaper one a digital keyboard for me to practice on. Now that I can afford to buy one, I guess I need to enroll my daughter or my son to fulfill my frustrations in life. I guess it would be okay for a start to buy a casio cdp-120. Hope I can find one good deal on this. :)

Lazada receives approximately US$250 million of funding from Tesco, Access Industries, Kinnevik and Verlinvest

Singapore, 9/12/2013 –  Lazada,  Southeast Asia’s largest online shopping mall, raises a large funding round from a group of investors including  Tesco PLC,  Access Industries,  Investment AB Kinnevik and Verlinvest,  which adds approximately US$250 million of cash to Lazada’s balance sheet.

This marks the first investment by multichannel retailer Tesco into a pure online player in the region and is the starting point of close cooperation between the parties. Synergies of this partnership will span across customer analytics, private label development and supply chain management.

Maximilian Bittner, CEO of Lazada Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tesco and Access to join our investor group through this funding round. That the investment is also joined by Kinnevik and Verlinvest – which know our business and operations extremely well – demonstrates that we are making great progress in building a large and sustainable company in Southeast Asia. We are excited to continue this journey together with our investors.”

“Lazada’s management team has put the company on a path to become the premier online shopping destination in Southeast Asia. We are pleased to be part of this dynamic success story,” said JörgMohaupt from Access Industries, in a statement.

“Strategic cooperation between long-term financial investors and industry partners can add significant growth momentum and enhanced profitability to e-commerce businesses. We welcome Tesco’s investment in Lazada and look forward to working with them in supporting Maximilian and his team,” said Mia BrunellLivfors, CEO of Kinnevik.

Robin Terrell, Group Multichannel Director of Tesco, said: “This investment in South East Asia’s largest e-commerce retailer continues our strategy of developing leading multichannel businesses in core growth markets. Lazada is an exciting, pioneering business which has developed a market-leading offer in each of its five markets in just 18 months. As South East Asia’s 600 million consumers begin to use smartphone technology to access retailers online, Lazada has established a strong position from which to grow."

Lazada is a pioneer in Southeast Asian e-commerce with around 1,500 employees across five Southeast Asian countries. Since launch Lazada has become the leading online general merchandiser across the region. As key pillars of Lazada’s long-term strategy, the company has opened up its platform with great success to third party merchants to increase assortment and allowing both large and small suppliers take advantage of Lazada’s traffic volumes, continued building its category mix by expanding into fashion, and developed an affiliate program that will help the region’s broader web community to flourish by providing web portal and blog owners an opportunity to monetize their website.

As another key cornerstone of the Group’s strategy, Lazada also launched Lamido in Indonesia and Vietnam, to tap into the large informal e-commerce market of C2C transactions which includes thousands of shops on social networks such as Facebook.

My Way of Relaxing

What do you usually do when you are stressed physically, mentally and emotionally? Me, I just love to play instrumental music like the saxophones, trumpets, and even love to hear while lying down classical music. I just don't know but I feel relieved and relaxed after hearing those kind of music. This really works for me, so how about you?

Goods.ph works hand-in-hand with the Philippine National Red Cross To Help Victims of Typhoon Yolanda / Haiyan

Misery and desperation are deeply etched on the faces of the millions of victims of super typhoon Yolanda, not knowing where to get their next meal or how to rebuild their broken homes and lives and how to cope with the loss of their loved ones. Chaos is widespread as the citizenry have nowhere to go for basic services: there is no electricity, no water services, no communications and worse no local government service to speak of. The typhoon victims have to literally fend for themselves.

Goods.ph in partnership with the Philippine National Red Cross, is undertaking a charitable cause that offers RELIEF GOODS PACKAGE for the typhoon victims that one can avail for donation purposes. We are encouraging our customers to avail our special RELIEF GOODS PACKAGE from our site to enable them to donate to the typhoon victims online. You can also donate even a single bottled water, this is in align with our motto that everyone can help even in their own little ways. For fair distribution, we will be forwarding these items to the office of Red Cross.

Aside from the RELIEF GOODS PACKAGE that you will buy to donate to typhoon victim, Goods.ph will also give an amount of 30 pesos for every donation package bought by our customers to proceed to Red Cross Philippines. In hindsight, this is only the tip of the iceberg! It will take months if not years to rebuild a province literally wiped out from the face of the earth. After this transition, the harder part of constructing homes and infrastructure will be the next phase. This will surely take years to accomplish not to mention a staggering budget!

The litmus test for the survivors and Filipinos in general is how well they will cope with the situation since it will take years to recover from typhoon Yolanda.

Metronome as Defined

To be honest, I don’t know what’s the name and the purpose of this device that I always see being brought by a friend every time they have a music practice in church. Out of my curiosity, I made some research about this….

Metronome is a handy timekeeper that can lay down a click in style. Along with the standard metronome functions, the Boss DB-60 provides a menu of rhythmic patterns, a note-mixing feature to create rhythms that match the feel and style of your music, and the ability to handle time signatures of up to 17 beats per measure.

By the way, just an info that I’ve got from Mr. Wiki… A metronome is any device that produces regular, metrical ticks (beats, clicks) — settable in beats per minute. These ticks represent a fixed, regular aural pulse; some metronomes also include synchronized visual motion (e.g. pendulum-swing). The metronome is used by musicians to help keep a steady tempo as they play, or to work on issues of irregular timing, or to help internalize a clear sense of timing and tempo. The metronome is also often used by composers as a standard tempo reference, to indicate the intended tempo for the piece.

This is an example of an excellent wittmer mt-50 metronome at musicians friend. It is easy to use, and prominently features a tempo dial that adjusts between 40 to 208 beats per minute. The MT50's speaker produces a loud "tick" sound, which is easier to hear in context than the "beep" produced by most other electronic metronomes. The MT50 also has a flashing LED beat indicator, which can be used for silent practice or along with the speaker for added visual reference.

It’s so clear to me now why they (musicians) always have their metronome with them. :) So, if you don’t want to lose the beat, then get your own Metronome!

Music on the Go!

Haven't you noticed that every now and then technologies, gadgets, softwares and etc are arising in the market? I mean, inventions are taking place one after the other. Just like in music industry, they too have are introducing softwares just to make their recording sound like for real or live as they say.

Just like this ableton live 8 at musicians friend, it helps a lot to make a groove patterns which can add life and swing to straight sequences. Its engine lets you apply groove patterns in real time, extract grooves from audio or MIDI sources, and quantize audio and MIDI in real time. Its effect gives you classic sound-on-sound looping without the limitations of a hardware device. So if you want to warp your audio events by adjusting the events themselves on the timeline then own it now. :)

Our House Dedication

Almost eight years of renting a small place to live in with my family, FINALLY God hath answered our prayers to bless us with a HOME that we can call our own! :) October 7 is indeed so special to us as a couple as well as to our daughter. Why? Because yesterday we just had a triple celebration at home~ our 8th year Wedding Anniversary, daughter Danielle's 7th birthday and a house dedication too. 

OopPsss!!! correction please, we are not the owner of this property but of the Lord, we are just the care-taker of one of the many blessings He gave to us! Indeed, there's nothing more that we could ask for but to thank the Him for the initial blessings that we are receiving…. :) 

Here are some shots taken during that night…

with my JTSCC family

chow time!

Thank you Lord for everything! Indeed you are our God who truly provides!

What's the Right Age for my Kids to Begin in Music Lesson?

God this excerpt from an article: The important question then is not when to start lessons, but what is the goal of music lessons for young children? For instance, very young children are not exposed to instruments in order to master them, but to gain experience and learn to develop meaningful relationships with music at a young age. If this is your goal, then the “lessons” can and should start soon after birth and certainly within the child’s first year.

 So true, situations must be based on your child's interest in music not of the parents frustrations. :) Actually, I am so excited for my 'lil boy because at an early age of two he is so inclined with music. Now, he is always asking me to buy a drum set for him but I guess he's just too young to have those expensive one that is why we will be planning to give him a present this Christmas!

As to my 'lil girl's music inclination, she is into guitars and that she wanted me to buy one for her. Now, hubby and I were canvassing for a gibson j-45 for sale so that we could grant her wish too this Holiday season. Hope they have a pink or a girly one suited for her. :)

Well, I can't wait for our two kiddos to have their own recital when time comes!

I just knew that they are offering these TV lift consoles, so simple; if you don't want to see your flat screen TV when you are not viewing it anymore, you can lift the cabinet~ a new perfect solution for your TV mounting. hmmm sounds great!

Coffee Your Way

Coffee can be very personal – you want it just so and you want it the same way each and every day. Surprisingly, isn’t all that easy to consistently craft a great cup of coffee each and every time because there are so many variables involved in making good coffee. With an on demand coffee maker that uses K-Cup® Decaffeinated Coffee inserts you can control all of the variables – the result is great coffee, guaranteed.

(Image by http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/)

Proportion of water to coffee

To make good coffee the coffee must be fresh and the grind must be suited for the brewing methodology. The proportion of water to coffee is critical; this is where it is most difficult to get it right on a regular basis. The final component is the water – it must be cold and the water should be a top quality tap, bottled or filtered water to ensure the best results. Getting all of this right every time is a lot to ask but with an on demand brewing system all of the hard work is done for you – your biggest challenge will be to decide what type of coffee you would like to drink.

Old miniature coffee pots

A one cup on demand coffee maker brews one cup of coffee at a time but the water reservoir can hold anywhere from one to 12 cups of water. These machines should not be confused with the old miniature coffee pots folks used to use in the office, in fact on demand brewing systems don’t even have a coffee pot – instead they brew the coffee one cup at a time into a cup, glass or mug. The machines use coffee pods which are available in both regular and decaffeinated versions in a variety of flavors, roasts and blends.

Aspiring Model

Presenting my 6 year old daughter who's aspiring to be a cover girl someday! :)

Thank you Lord for her life, indeed she's one of our precious jewels..... 

As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.

Richly Blessed by God!

Couple of months ago, while I was invited by my parents to join them in their Sunday Service (my old church) I was so amazed of what God has greatly done so much blessings in their new church building. Not only that God blessed them with a very big/huge church building but the instruments and other stuffs as well were all new. Some of the instruments that they are using are the ISP Technologies Pro Audio and the like. Indeed, God has been so faithful to all his children!

A month ago, we met a man who wants to buy gold coins and jewelries as he said. True enough we put our trust in him as he bought all our broken/unpaired gold and silver jewelries at a certain cost. But hey, we thought he'll gonna buy gold coins like the golden eagles and the like? Well, he's nowhere to be found nowadays, I guess we need to find for another trusted gold buyer because we have plenty of old gold coins to sell. If you happen to know someone just tell me. :)

Right Foam for You

If you are somewhat like me, who always desire for an all-around comfort but at the same time still looking for proper support then conventional foam mattresses are great for you too. Its softness not just provides relief and alleviates pressure but maintains a firmness that supplies proper body support. Actually, this kind of foam is what I am using for years now and I super love it much. But I guess I need to change the foam cover the soonest and have it customized because it's already worn-out. :)

Jackets that Protects Lives

Most people that think about jackets will think that any normal jackets that you buy from the store will give you the protection you need when you are facing some problems. However, when it comes to the type of jackets which firefighters wear, these types of jackets need to perform better than the normal jackets. All you need to do to find these special types of jackets is to use the internet to search for Blauer, and you will be able to find the best types of jackets that you can consider buying to keep yourself safe in case of an emergency.

We know that firefighters have to run into burning buildings, which might be releasing heat, smoke, or even steam, which are all deadly if no protection is given to the firefighter. If you click here to see firefighter jacket, which will be able to give firefighters the full protection that they need, you will also see the type of care that has been taken into designing the very jacket itself. Another thing that might not be noticed is that most of these jackets are in very bright neon colors. While you might think that this is something that is normal, these very colors are chosen to spot any firefighter in danger.

From full size jackets that will cover you all the way from your shoulder to your feet, there are also other designs that will cover you to your waist. Depending on the type of gear that you already have, you can choose to order either type of jacket. Since most firefighters are wearing a bottom half, they only choose to wear jackets that cover them to their waist. This is also to reduce the amount of weight that they will be carrying on their body as they are doing a dangerous job.

You can also choose to use reversible jackets that can be worn on either side, and you can even choose the colors that you want to have on the inside. This allows the jacket to be worn on a normal basis, while when the time comes to change into the gear that firefighters need, all you need to do is to flip the jacket, and you are ready for duty. This little feature is a huge time saver, which might mean the difference between saving a life and being too late. If you are in the fire department or if your love one is serving in the department, don’t wait another day to get them these jackets to keep them safe when they are doing their jobs.
