Adventures In Male
"Agri-Care": "Mushrooms" Fertilized With Testosterone Contributed By: Catgic
& Male Staff Member Researchers
Recent investigative
inquiries and researching of information about the whys, wherefores, what-is-it
and what-to-expect in treatment of male-exclusive medical problems caused us to
learn a curious societal thing about men’s versus women’s health issues in our
U.S. culture.
Whereas, as a group, women seem to be well organized, centered, and
proactively communicative on seeing that American society focuses on increasing
awareness and getting-the-word-out about health issues specific to women. Women
obtain and garner high-levels of private and government program funding,
pursuing female-focused research investigation efforts, and the successful
treatment of the panoply of their female-centric health issues. For example,
Women have Sarah G, Komen For The Cure (of Breast Cancer), National Wear Red
Day, American Women's Health Awareness & A Myriad of Gynecologic Cancer
Support & Info Events, and they maintain sizable levels of NIH National
Cancer Institute Women’s Health Research, American Cancer Society, National
Foundation For Cancer Research Funding, et al, while men have and get mostly “Bupkis.”
There are no equivalent awareness undertakings, getting-the-word-out about
men’s health issues or levels of funding, active research efforts or overall
male-specific medical problem treatment infrastructures, which focus on
male-specific health issues in a like manner as exists for female-specific
medical issues.
On a comparative basis at the societal and cultural level on this Male vs.
Female health point, when it comes to male-centric/male-specific health
information and support, men are kept in the dark and fed the standard
fertilizer food fed to all mushrooms on mushroom farms, “Horse Manure &
B.S.” Information and funding for men, as compared to the “All You Can
Eat-Learn” Buffet of female-specific health information and funding support
made available to the greater Divine Ya-Ya Secrets Sisterhood collective of
women, is minuscule. Men are cast a drift, left on their own, and treated like
just so many “mushrooms” on a mushroom farm.
Men keep being told, “Trust us. There is a Polo pony somewhere in that
pile of mushroom food.”
Evidence of this is that one never sees a local town, village or city
blocking and cordoning off streets so a thundering herd of assorted size, shape
and age men and boys wearing blue tee-shirts can be turned loose to run or walk
to race 5-kilometers or even one-foot “For The BPH-Prostate Cancer Cure,”
treatment, research, and eradication of any other of the male-centric medical
maladies.

The d'Poliakonian
WO{PLAY}RK
Convolution Theorem:
d'Poliakonian Law of
WORK {PLAY}:
WORK is {PLAY} you get paid
$HEKEL$ to DELIVER
on OTHER PEOPLE'S
SCHEDULES.
NOTE:
Brackets { }
indicate
{Stealth
Invisibility}
Putting the Theorem into a mathematical form
and
solving for {PLAY} yields:
{Play} = Work - ($hekel$ + Deliverables + Other People's Schedules).
WORK
convolutes into {PLAY} as
$hekel$, Deliverables and O.P.S approach Zero.
Thus: The Limit of WORK, as $hekel$, Deliveries and O.P.S approach Zero
is {PLAY}
Pay
$hekel$ To Yourself
Deliver To Yourself
Work
To Your Schedules
and all your WORK will be convoluted
into {PLAY}.
My writing activity is
properly called CYBER WO{PLAY}RK.
When the Catgicina's Love Slave tells HER HIGHNESS that his lowness
will be WO{PLAY}RK'ing in his Cyber Sanctum Sanctorum
editing-finalizing the p-Pub for the next XX hours it is, in fact, {Stealth PLAY} that to non-convoluters without {The

in:
“I'll
be in the CSS doing CYBER WO{PLAY}RK for a while, Honey”
with HER
HIGHNESS replying, “Don't
WO{PLAY}RK too hard darling, I'll bring you some hot tea in

When Pd'P
Freewebizens® apply the d'Poliakonian WO{PLAY}RK Convolution Theorem on the job, they appear to be WORK'ing
"as hard
as" their co-workers because they are {Stealthily
Masking-Concealing PLAY Activity}.
The WO{PLAY}RK Theorem has dual-functionality.
It may be used to EITHER:
1. Convolute
WORK into {Stealth
PLAY} or
2. {Mask-Conceal PLAY} beneath the White-Pink Noise generated by the Banausic
WORK of Others, thereby, making it appear as WORK.
By NOT
Working for $hekel$, Producing Deliverables and Meeting Other's

while in Stealth-d'Poliakonian Reality
they are either {Stealthily Convoluting} WORK into {PLAY} or {Masking-Concealing:PLAY} making
it look like WO{PLAY}RK.
The
whole process is a simple, but elegant one. This is because it is totally indiscernible by codeless, clueless
others using their normal human sensory perception.
Its TOP SECRET nature resides in the pseudo-random
Bright Eyes p-code that is applied to {PLAY} Activity
to {Mask-Conceal}
it making it look like WO{PLAY}RK
Activity. In essence, the pseudo-random Bright

Proper Care And Feeding Of A Native Chicagoan:
The Iconic Chicago-Style Hot Dog
Contributed By: The Hungry For Hot Dogs, Catgic
Being that I was
born a short street car ride away from either Comisky Park or Wrigley Field ballparks in the shadow of Fermi’s favorite
squash court, I am a hot dog aficionado “purist” with the love of Chicago-style hot dogs hard-encoded into my
DNA. That means, I consider it a culinary sacrilege to put catsup on a hot dog.
What follows is a “Chicago-Style Hot Dog” story about
a roadside hotdog stand along Chicago's Milwaukee Avenue, which was a favorite Family Feeding
Pit Stop back in the Post-WWII 1940s and 1950s simpler and innocent time of my golden youth.
My parents would stop at the aforementioned roadside hot dog stand
for mass-feeding of the always hungry seven (7) boys --- no it is not a typo --- when we made week-end excursions from
the far north Chicago ‘burbs, to-from Chicago, to visit and socialize with Chicago City residing family and friends.
That memorable Chicago hot dog place was located at the very
end of the Milwaukee Avenue street car line, across
from a forest preserve. It had rooftop statuary figures of a hotdog couple standing on its roof, and, most importantly, served
Chicago-style Hot Dogs with crinkly French Fries on the side.
My Dad traveled partly on IL
Route 21 for our trips to-fro Chicago.
Part of IL Route 21 in Cook
County is also Milwaukee Avenue,
which is the road along which that same family-owned hot dog place still operates today. It is on the corner at 6363 N. Milwaukee
Avenue, Devon and Nagle. Maury and Flaurie are still standing on the roof waving hot dog hungry people in to enjoy one of
their signature "Superdawgs." [See: http://www.superdawg.com/
By the time of the late 1940s and mid 1950s, our growing family
had moved up to and settled in the Lake and McHenry County area of the Fox Chain O’Lakes in Northern
Illinois. By then, our family numbered nine (9), consisting of Mom, Dad, and the ever-hungry Magnificent Seven
Wild Bunch “Pirate Crew” of Boys (no girls).
My Mom was an athletic woman who loved sports and the outdoors.
She was Queen of Cooking freshly caught fish on the old style; white gas fueled Coleman 2 Burner Gas Camp Stove. She and Dad regularly took us on
family camping excursions to the Wisconsin Dells, and various forest preserves located in and around the Fox
River Valley and Wisconsin.
Therefore, it was my Mom’s practice in the hotter summertime weather season, to serve her wild tribe of boys meals outside
the house, in the backyard, at and around our breezy picnic table situated in the cool shade under the leafy canopy of the
great stand of clusters of native Black Oak (Quercus Velutina) and White Oak (Quercus Alba) trees that populated our family’s
encampment.
A regular item on the summer lunchtime menu for mass-feeding of
our “Wild Bunch” of boys, was fire-grilled, Chicago-style hotdogs accompanied by Mom’s Homemade Potato Salad,
ice-cold lemonade or Kool-Aid, and, when in season, chilled watermelon slices for dessert (from which watermelon seed spitting
fights usually ensued). This tube-steak feast was usually accompanied by background sounds from the portable radio on the
picnic table, tuned to daytime baseball game broadcasts of White Sox or Cubs games or one of the daily dramatic dilemmas of
Mom’s favorite radio soap opera, with the trials, tribulations, and dysfunctions of the family and friends of “Ma
Perkins.”
These divinely delectable ‘dogs were constructed according
to the strict bun, yellow mustard, sweet relish, diced onions, fresh tomatoes wedges with length-cut Polish dill pickle quarters
recipe protocol for creating classic Chicago-style hot dogs. The iconic Chicago-Style Hot Dog Recipe is shown here: http://www.thepauperedchef.com/2009/07/how-to-make-a-chicago-style-hot-dog.html , courtesy of Chicagoland’s own The
Paupered Chef - Blake Royer.
My Mother would drive all the way up to a German family owned packing
house/butcher shop located in Antioch, IL to get their locally made, specially seasoned and spiced “gourmet” hotdogs,
made in the old traditional manner using actual animal intestine sausage casings. I forgot the name of that Antioch
packing house, butcher business, but we boys referred to those tasty ‘dogs as “Antioch’s.”
That Antioch butcher probably went out-of-business decades ago,
as the culture and palate of local Lake County Area eaters transitioned from mother-cooked-from-scratch, home-style European/Eastern
European cooking, eating tastes and practices to roadside eateries with more Hispanic-Centric style menu fare, and pop-into-the-oven
ready, microwavable "Home Cooking" that is pre-prepared, pre-packed and wrapped in paper and plastic packaging.
Although these Antioch-sourced sausages/hotdogs were made of all
“Hotdog-Sausage Meat" (whatever meat that was --- probably, better to not know), they contained none of the chemical
preservative, fillers or other mystery ingredients in them like those listed on modern day hotdog packages. Now, as far as
whether or not there was or a how much of the reputed human carcinogen preservatives Sodium Nitrite/Nitrate (NO2/NO3) may
or may not have been in the “Secret German Family Recipe” used to make them, if any, I have not a clue. But so
far, KNOCK ON CHAIN O’LAKES OAK, none of my brothers have been afflicted with cancer.
Those “Antioch ‘Dogs” were Good-GOod-GOOd-GOOD!!! I can personally
attest that they were even better than the well-known, world-famous Nathan’s Hot Dogs of New York City, which I first
ate in the early 1960s when I was a young, teenaged student living up in New York pursuing my follow-on, post-high school
education.
Prius EcoDriving Hypermiling
We are the Prius-Borg.
You will be assimilated.
Your biological and
technological distinctiveness
will be added
to our own.
Resistance is futile.
Prius EcoDriving hypermilers are those Prius Hybrid
drivers who have been assimilated into the Prius Borg Collective by
invisible nanoprobes stealthily launched from the Hybrid Synergy Drive
of their vehicles through the throttle pedal, and now find themselves transformed into Prius-Borgs. They
live and drive "Hybrid $mart" to serve the Hybrid
Hive by applying special hybrid fuel economy driving and operating techniques, like Pulse
and Glide (P&G), Warp Stealth (W/S), and Super-Atkinson Highway
Mode (SAHM), such that they regularly meet or surpass the Official EPA Highway/Combined/ City
miles-per-gallon (MPG) Fuel Economy (FE) rating of their Prius.
Most
Prius EcoDriving hypermiler drivers regularly average mid-to-high 50s
mpg annual fuel economies, with upwards excursions of 60+ mpg obtained from their their fuel-sippers during the spring and
autumn months, when outside air temperatures are "Hybrid-Fiendly" and no heater or air conditioning operation is
required.
I was transformed
into a hypermiling Prius-Borg just days after purchasing a new,
iconic Second Generation (2G/GEN II) 2007 Prius as part of Toyota's
End-Of-Year 2006 Holiday Toyotathon: Sale. Once I started driving the Prius, I was drawn to hypermiling like the proverbial moth is drawn to a flame.
Now I work (play?) hard as I drive to optimally manage the Prius Hybrid
Synergy Drive to get it to deliver and surpass the
promised EPA MPG-FE numbers.
My Borg Queen, and June-Bride-For-Life, is very pleased with me since my assimilation
and transformation into a Prius-Borg because my Porsche-honed lead-foot
was also transformed in the process. I now drive slower (read: less than or equal to the speed limit, and usually not greater
than 55 mph). My Borg Queen, is especially pleased that she only
has to crack open her Penny-Pincher Purse twice per month to top-off and fill the Prius' fuel
tank with Regular Unleaded gasoline. Previously, I had to top-off the 22.5 gallon gas tank in the gas guzzling Aryan Iron
Autobahn Eater, Mercedes-Benz 560SL I used to drive from Point "A" to Point "B" and back again,
twice per week. These expensive fill-ups were with the premium-priced Mercedes-Benz specified Premium Unleaded gasoline.
I have found that regularly achieving MPG-FE numbers up into the 60s is hard to do when most of your driving involves
short versus long trips or is done in very congested traffic densities. However, diligent application of "Hybrid $mart"
EcoDriving hypermiling techniques at every opportunity will assure you will regularly approach, meet or exceed the Official
EPA Fuel Economy Rating numbers promised on the Prius' Monroney
window sticker by 15% to 25%.
Overall,
I am quite pleased with the Prius Family of Cars and their
fuel
economy and overall performance. I do think that this Prius
is a personal
transportation vehicle that only a Techno-Geek can truly appreciate, love,
enjoy, and optimally operate. We recently traded our iconic GEN II Prius Sedan in for the newly
offered, larger Prius v(vee) Station
Wagon
in a stealthy "Magnetic
Gray" metallic. The v(vee) has a more
voluminous interior with much improve driver
and passenger comfort along with 50% greater cargo-hauling space, as compared
to the standard GEN II or GEN III Prius
Sedan. These improvements
and the added cabin volume and cargo hauling capability are why I refer to
our new Prius v(vee) Level Five as a "Caddy
In A Kimono."
In my opinion, there
is a bit of an Information Handling and Management Learning Curve for the novice, "nugget" hybrid driver. Particularly,
if they want to attain, monitor, and maintain optimal and maximal MPG by applying the myriad of fuel-sipping driving techniques.
There are over 30
operating status and advisory indicator symbols plus other additional graphics, numerics, and dynamic metrics that may
be displayed on the electronic instrument cluster and multi-function information display monitor at various times or another.
Digesting and responding to this data are a piece of cake for combat-hardened aviators,
avid computer gamers and gadget mastering Über Techno-Geeks, but it may be a lot of information for non-tech savvy John and
Jane Q. average drivers to efficiently absorb, manage, and use to good advantage.
I would like to see
a Heads-Up Display with key Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) operating parameters incorporated and displayed on windshield
to help alleviate and manage this "information over-load" problem. It would be a big driver safety enhancement that
would cut down on a driver being distracted away from keeping his or her eyes on the road when driving as they monitor
the electronic instrument cluster display and multi-function information display in pursuit of MPG "Nirvana."
It is clear to me
that if one drives a Prius using obsolete Gas-To-Go/Brake-To-Stop
driving techniques like those they used in the conventional car the Prius Hybrid replaced,
they will get good miles-per-gallon fuel economy, but will likely not achieve stellar, Official EPA beating fuel economy numbers.
Driving the Prius to MAX MPG PERFECTION requires a bit of Hybrid Zen Mastery to achieve
MAX MPG NIRVANA. To achieve MAX MPG NIRVANA, the driver must Become-At-One-With-The-Hybrid-System.
If not, only fuel economy closer to the basic, inherent MPG available from the 1.5-Liter. or 1.8-Liter
4-Cylinder gasoline engines, as if they were being operated in a non-hybrid, conventional Otto Cycle Mode, will likely be
delivered.

Sports Driving:
1983 Porsche 944: The
Thinking Man’s Über Aryan-Iron
Autobahn-Eater of the Go-Go Eighties
Contributed By: "I Have
A Need For Speed" Catgic
 The 1983 Porsche 944 debuted at an MSRP of $18,980. In “Cop-Magnet” Guard’s
Red, it was the Thinking Man’s Über Aryan-Iron Autobahn-Eater of the Go-Go Eighties.
A 2+2, 2-Door Hatchback Sedan-Coupe, born and built at Audi: Neckarsulm, it came
powered with a Zufffenhausen 143hp, 2.5-Liter (2479cc) OHC, water-cooled Slant/In-line 4-Cylinder with counter-balanced crankshaft,
EFI (Bosch L-Jetronic with coasting cut-off) burning 89-Octane Regular Gasoline. Those horses were all married to a 5-Speed
Transaxle propelled it at 28 MPG. That new-design Porsche 944 came with its aerodynamics enhanced by improved handling and
cornering, obtained from adapting and incorporating the best of sports and performance from the 924 and 928 into a “wallet-friendly”
package.
It came standard with very frigid-cold Air Conditioning, a Removable/Tilt-able Sunroof,
and Power Windows. Available popular options included an AM-FM/Cassette Tape Radio and optional 3-Speed Automatic Transmission.
That Guard’s Red beauty made my daily drive commute to-from the
office, a virtual commute on the Autobahn. Even with “punching” the throttle and regularly piloting and “horsing”
it around town using a “fuel economy smart” driving that worked at getting through all the gears into the highest
gear (i.e. Over-Drive Gear Ratio) for cruising, as well as moderately aggressive driving technique, which included selectively
going into the thirstier “after-burner” operating mode at traffic lights to assure that no one beat me Off-The-Line
and only my “six o’clock” was viewable after the traffic light turned GREEN.
Even with such "Need For Speed," that beauty would still regularly deliver 28±
MPG in average fuel economy in "Around Town," mixed city-highway driving (as measured by me using the Tank-Refill Method).
This 28± actual, measured miles-per-gallon fuel economy beat the published, Official EPA 20 City/23 Combined/27 Highway fuel
economy numbers.
It does not get better than a Guard’s Red, High-MPG “Road-Burnin,’
Autobahn-Eater.” I have had them all, better and bigger than even Bogey & Bacall. Yet, for the money and shear thrill
and fun of driving on the highways and byways, I have not found a petrol-powered machine with more of an optimal high-low
balance between acquisition cost / acceleration / fuel-economy / handling-cornering, and just pure, responsive Push-You-Back-In-The-Seat
driving pleasure.
Kugela
(Kugelis)
Grandma
Buti’s
Old
Lithuanian Recipe
Kugela is an easy to
prepare and cook, delicious oven baked potato casserole dish. The aromatic smell of baking Kugela wafting out of
your kitchen will quickly draw a hungry crowd waiting for the oven timer to go off.
Kugela is more than merely
a delectable oven-baked potato pudding treat. It is Classic European
food art as well as being the national dish of Lithuania. No family celebration or
other communal gathering that includes eating would be complete without it. Traditionally,
Kugela is served topped with a generous dollop of sour cream and/or an applesauce accompaniment.
The family recipe for Kugela (Kugelis)
passed down from my Lithuanian Grandma Buti follows:
PREPARATION (30-minutes prep time + 1-1½ baking time = 1½ to 2 hours total).
5 lb Russet Potatoes
peeled and finely grated (Can be prepared using any variety of potato, but, because Russet Potatoes high in starch and light
and fluffy when cooked-baked, Russets are considered Grandma "Buti" Gourmet Kugela Kritical).
1 lb Bacon; cut across the bacon strips into ¼" to ½" wide sized pieces.
6 Eggs.
1 Medium to Large Onion;
grated (Vidalia Sweet Onion, if available).
2 Tablespoons of Salt
(only if extrasalty flavor isdesired because the bacon conveys salts to the taste. Additionally, add a dash or two of Black
Pepper if you like pepper).
½ Cup of flour.
1 Can (12 ounces) evaporated
milk.
Fry-Render bacon pieces in a large
skillet over medium heat until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve and set aside about one quarter cup of the
bacon drippings for later use. Sauté grated onions lightly. Combine rendered bacon pieces, reserved bacon drippings and sautéed
onion together with grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Stir flour, milk, eggs, and salt-pepper into the bowl. Pour blended
mixture into lightly greased or buttered 2x9x13 inch (3-quart) casserole baking dish.
Bake in a pre-heated conventional
oven at 350 degrees F until top is nicely brown, about 1-1½ hours (i.e. until a knife inserted in center comes out clean).
Cut into serving sized squares and
top each with a generous dollop of sour cream with an apple sauce accompaniment on the side.
Serves 12-14 people or 8-10 from
a hungry family or group.
Kugela is great for Pot Luck dinners and reheats well in the microwave
oven. Enjoy!
Poetry:
Beautiful Old Age
David Herbert Lawrence
(In Memorium Of My Father)
It
ought to be lovely to be old to be full of the peace that comes of experience and wrinkled ripe fulfillment.
The
wrinkled smile of completeness that follows a life lived undaunted and unsoured with accepted lies.
If
people lived without accepting lies they would ripen like apples, and be scented like pippins in their old
age.
Soothing,
old people should be, like apples when one is tired of love.
Fragrant
like yellowing leaves, and dim with the soft stillness and satisfaction of autumn.
And
a girl should say: It must be wonderful to live and grow old.
Look at my mother, how rich and still she is! --
And
a young man should think: By Jove, my father
has faced all weathers, but it’s been a life! --
Fresh Water Sport Fishing:
Fox Chain O'Lakes
If you're an avid angler you might want to try great
fishing for Walleyed Pike in the Fox Chain O'Lakes. Fox Lake and the associated Chain O'Lakes
lake and river system of the Fox Valley
is located 40 miles north of Chicago and is nestled
right in the middle of walleye country.
Test netting in the Chain O’Lakes has shown
that the Fox Chain is loaded with walleyes. The average male is ~15 inches long with a few exceeding 18 inches. The average
female is ~21 inches with 80 percent longer than 18 inches. One quarter of the fish netted exceed 24 inches. Since 1996, slot
limits protected the 18-to-24-inch "brood stock" walleyes.
Frank Jakubicek, Illinois district fishery biologist, said, "The Fox Chain is confirmation that intensive
fish management works on an urban lake system. We have had a consistent effort for over 20 years, and the results speak for
themselves."
Bring your fishing gear, your boat and yourself
to the Fox Chain O'Lakes for a fun fishing experience.
