Since the pumpkin display was such a hit, I was ready for my next outdoor holiday experience. The Indianapolis Museum of Art has been promoting Winterlights @NewfieldsToday. Let's check out the preview party!
The experience starts right away as you approach the front doors. I'm always intrigued with the ever changing ceiling decor in the lobby.
JS and her minions joined us to witness the glow of a million bulbs light display!
This experience was stunning from the first step!
The lights were coming from everywhere.
A stunning 50 foot Christmas tree made completely of toys! Those big circles are kiddie pools! Very clever.
The Lilly House had animated lights to music.
Positively fantastic! Already can't wait to see how they out-do themselves next year! Go visit!

For our latest mission, we staged a series of surprises at the porta potty area of the Governors Ball music festival in New York. When random concertgoers opened our "magical" porta potty, they were surprised by a ridiculous number of performers streaming out of the door.

SALEM, Va. – Senior Hannah Mills provided a two-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the first inning to punch the No. 1 Salisbury University softball team's ticket to Eau Claire, Wisc., on Monday morning in the Salem, Va., NCAA Regional. The two runs would prove all the Sea Gulls would need to advance, but a four-run sixth inning and two-run seventh gave SU the 8-0 win over Piedmont College to advance to the program's seventh World Series.
The Sea Gulls (39-2) were the visitors in the contest and started the game the same as they did the previous day against Piedmont with early two runs. Senior Michelle Gravdahl reached first with a single to shortstop, beating out the throw to put a runner on with two outs before Mills delivered her 10th homer of the season, a bomb to center field.
Piedmont (34-10) had its chances to tie the game, putting runners on in every inning except the seventh, but the SU defense and sophomore pitcher Rachel Johnson were able to strand runners on the bags to pick up their second shutout of the regional.
In the bottom of the third, Salisbury picked up two quick outs followed by a Lion single and walk to put two runners on base. A groundout to freshman Katie Sebbane ended the scoring threat, as the Sea Gulls headed into the fourth.
It was not until the sixth inning that the Gulls' bats caught fire, scoring four runs off four hits. Senior Sarah Alpaugh led off the inning with a single to center field before Gravdahl was walked and Mills reached first with a single to right field to load the bases. Freshman Paige Knussman drove a shot to right field for two RBIs and a 4-0 edge over the Lions. Two batters later, senior Lindsay McCabe hit a sharp grounder to shortstop and beat the throw to first while Mills came home. Mills went 2-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBIs. Junior Harley Hill would collect for the final RBI of the inning with a single through the right side.
Johnson kept control in the circle, going all seven innings for the maroon and gold. She earned her 26th win with three strikeouts, three walks and five hits.
SU earned its final runs of the game off the bats of McCabe and senior Carly Read in the seventh.
With the win, Salisbury moves on to the World Series and will face the State University of New York at Cortland on Friday at 12 p.m., eastern time. The Red Dragons defeated Lebanon Valley College in the Ithaca, N.Y., Regional final on Monday, 7-0.
Johnson collected all-tournament honors as the tournament's most valuable player while three other Sea Gulls joined her. Gravdahl, Mills and Hill were also named to the all-tournament team.

I'd arranged to travel up via my blogging buddy Chris Curtis @Xris32. We spokeon Thursay post Chris's Deatheaters visit (he was surprisingly lucid) and more or less figured out I'd need a 6am get up to get to Chris's for 8am. I weeped a little and then got quite excited for the day ahead. After a little detour to Leeds University, the WRONG location, we arrived at the correct one, which was Leeds West Academy. Thanks to Alex Quigley for tweeting me the correct post code.
The weather was sunny, yes SUNNY even though we were Oop North, and we arrived at around 9.30 am in glorious sunshine at a very lovely, sparkly new school building that is Leeds West Academy. Both of us come from quite dilapidated schools so Chris and I wondered through this building in awe. We had SERIOUS school building envy.
We eventually arrived at the dining hall, which looked more like a continental bistro than any school dining hall I'd been in and met with Mark, Alex Quigley (was much nicer to meet him in a non-interview situation!) and a chap whose name has escaped me. #facepalm. Later on a gaggle of chic twitter ladies strolled up and the gathering was almost complete.
What follows is that rather peculiar meeting of people you have tweeted with for weeks, if not months, and putting the real life entity to the tweacher. Kerry Pulleyn, Ann Williams and Jennifer Webb found me, hugged me and the ice was well and truly broken.
Now the scene is set, on with the important bit. The Teach Meet!
Key Note: Alex Quigley
Alex's opening to his keynote was quite surprising. It began with a picture of Bach's Rescue Remedy, a murmur of muffled recognition trickled around the room whilst we could all picture Tom Bennett choking on his coffee. The image was in reference to the 'crutches' we employ to deal with deep felt anxieties about public speaking, as well as the day to day stresses of our job. Stresses that have increased in the past 18 months.The nub of Alex's speech was about why English teaching in particular is of great importance; about how it enables growth in confidence of our pupils AND its teachers; how deliberate practice, blogging and the Trojan Mouse approach to CPD that is Teach Meets, are the key to being even better at what we do, because we're worth it!
1. Jennifer Webb @funkypedagogy
Spoken Word and Poetry Slam in school.
Jennifer provided an inspiring insight into how she had introduced Poetry Slam to a wide range of pupils at her Academy; most noticeably engaging young disaffected boys in the writing of truly meaningful, moving and marvellous poetry. Rather than re-narrate, here is her blog post:
What did I take away from this?Well, admiration for Jennifer's ray of sunshine delivery, confidence, and down-right bubbling enthusiasm for her pupils, as well as observing how this extra-curricular club enables real, honest, earthy, intrinsic engagement with English; how collaboration fosters confidence in Slam Club members ,and that poetry is a living and breathing entity, kept alive, big time, by these pupils.
2. Charlotte Wright @commahound
Contolled Assessment kits for NQTs
Talk about well prepared! Charlotte introduced her talk by reminding us of the importance of the kind of support NQTs need, and most value, in that demanding first year in the classroom. Then, without further ado, like Mary Poppins Charlotte delved deep into her big hand-bag and handed out her Controlled Assesment Kits for NQTs based on the Creative Writing task (for AQA) using Miss. Havisham and Great Expectations as a stimulus. The resources consisted of:
- a sheet of related images
- extracts of Dicken's description of Miss. Havisham from Great Expectations
- A mark scheme grid
- Sheets of useful vocabulary (literacy base covered there!)
- Examplars of task to peer assess
We were asked to look through the material, and on a post card, suggest how we would add to it, our twitter handles and then we were sent off to pass our ideas onto someone we had not yet spoken to. I happened to find @TrueEnglish365 who was scoring the Word Challenge game (who can get a random word into their presentation the best?)
What did I take from this?The idea of a 'Kit' is universally useful all faculty members, regardless of experience, and 'crowd sourcing' ideas for improvement and differentiation is the most efficient way to assemble what would become a very comprehensive and innovative Scheme of Work or Scheme of Learning (whatever you prefer to call it).
3. Chris Read @c_j_read
KS3 Shakespeare
Chris had also arrived early and joined in the chatting with Chris C, Alex the chap whose name I forget *scratches head in frustration* before the presentations. So youthful looking was he, I thought he'd easily pass for one of my 6th formers.
Now, young Chris's audience was rammed full of mostly experienced teachers with a decade or so under their belts, sprinkled with a few NQTS and PGCE students. His talk was delivered with real confidence wit and aplomb.
Useful reminders from Chris were:1. DON'T start with context - but instead get them intrigued by the story, discuss it as appropriate when appropriate, more of a drip feed approach
2. Acknowledge, capture and confront anxieties openly with your students, get the sugar paper and big pens out!
3. Why teach it at all? Other than that it's on the National Curriculum, Old Bill's themes are universal and still applicable today.
4. Language and narrative, which is the most important? Well, both but you can get to the language via the narrative.
5. The play's the thing (That's me paraphrasing via Hamlet) - employ drama techniques, it's NOT a book!
Useful recommendation from Chris was to use resources from Active English (same company who got Gove's goat with Active History and Mr. Men-gate, all the more reason to give it a go!).
What did I take from it?The reminders above were just as useful for a long in the tooth teacher, as we can get mired in the evils of Government and school politics at times. I liked being reminded of the fun, yes FUN we can have teaching Shakespeare's texts to younger pupils. Plus, viewing things from the point of view of a bright eyed and bushy tailed young teacher was timely. I thought this was especially useful to the NQTs and PGCE students present. Teaching Shakespeare as a new teacher and be terribly intimidating.
4. Kate Walstenholme
3 Short Movie Clips that always work.
Kate, another newbie TM presenter (who also delivered her presentation with confident aplomb) provided us with a useful mini-guide to short film clips an animations that can stimulate debate, writing, analysis (as you see fit). Another well prepared lady with a useful handout, which I think Chris Curtis snaffled, there ore I shall embed this short film, The Black Hole, that Kate introduced us to:
A well told narrative told without dialogue. Narrative is structured via visual and aural codes.
What did I take from this?Well, my brain is whirring about how to use this clip in Media Studies classes e.g. to teach the 'value' of diagetic and non-diagetic sound to narrative; a means of revising camera shot, angle and movement; use of mise-en-scene to create a coherent tone and atmosphere; use it to find pupil's moral compass (linking to texts like An Inspector Calls and Of Mice and Men) and so on. Thank you Kate!
5. Charlotte Unsworth @Miss_tiggr
Blogging for Feedback
A wonderfully well prepared newbie TM presenter, taking us through her journey of using Blogs with her students, much like Chris Waugh @Edu_Tronic she is essentially replacing exercise books with using blogs frequently with her pupils. Particular benefits were the use of peer critique via the comments section upon each other's blogs. This initially began with the typical 'That's great, LOL' comments, however with Charlotte's guidance the students have provided each other with hugely detailed comments that were very Berger-esque - kind, fair and specific, which had enabled each students to improve their work often and brilliantly.
What did I take from this?Blogging with pupils is clearly the way forward and that, as Charlotte advocated, Wordpress is the platform. It is foolish NOT to be engaging with this writing platform, however, I do wonder how are IT support would view it. (I'll not embellish!).
Teaching students how to most effectively peer mark is also the key here.
6. Me! Eek
Using Wordles with A2 Language and literature students:Soliloquies
Oh I really was fighting nervous adrenaline here! Evil stuff, that adrenaline. What I'll do is do a really concise summary and follow it up later with a more detailed blog post.
1. Source texts were 2 soliloquies: 'Is this a dagger..' from Macbeth and 'To be or not to be..' from Hamlet2. Both were placed into Wordle and beautiful word clouds were generated
3. Give the Wordled soliloquies to students, different soliloquies to different students
4. Tell them nothing about play, context etc
5. Ask them to go a hunting and see what patterns of language they can find (semantic fields or whatever else occurs to them)
6. Then provide them with Qs to stimulate discussion using, 'What might....' 'How could...' Who might...' as question stems to encourage hypothetical thinking (Extended Abstract)
7. Ask students what is the thematic link, if any, between both Wordles, then maybe drop in some clues about the play and the character speaking.
8. Hand out soliloquies and get students to 'sweep' focusing on exam steers of: linguistic, literary, rhetorical and spoken language features. (Covering Part A and Part B skills for AQA Lang Lit B exam).
Note to self:Before you present, DO the breathing exercises as taught to you by CBT man so you CAN get the words out and, to coin Alex Quigley, NOT self-sabotage.
Using images to support the reading of complex poetry
Kerry has clearly caught the whole Teach Meet bug after attending @lisajaneashes most recent pedagoo event, and who can blame her?
The image above shows Kerry's example of how she introduced 'The Laboratory' to her pupils, minus the text and using the combination of images and a KWL grid to unleash some inqusitiveness and curiosity in her pupils.
Next, Kerry showed as a series of images on a slide based on 'The Lady of Shallott':
Here the images are placed in non-linear order so that students can see if they can assemble a narrative from them. This would make a great creative writing stimulus, prior to reading the poem, wouldn't it?
Another great idea Kerry showed us was to 'create a mystery' based on the text you are teaching, pupils have to solve the mystery. I loved this ideas and I'm glad I've just reminded myself of this!
What did I take from this?
I recognised what Kerry was doing immediately, because I have often done exactly the same myself; for example showing a picture of The Garden of Eden prior to reading 'Of Mice and Men' or an illustration of 'Hansel and Gretel' prior to reading 'The Landlady' by Roald Dahl' so was comforted by the fact the Kerry had done similar. *wipes brow*
I really loved Kerry's solve the mystery idea, mainly because it was so easily applicable across all kinds of text, not just poetry. It encourages the all important use of deductive thinking which then enable pupils to use inference and deduction when reading complex texts.
8.. Andy Sammons @amsammons
Effective feedback: A taxonomy of errors via @Kevbartle and @CanonsOPP
The link to Andy's blog post is above so I won't regurgitate what he has produced. However, this presentation was a very useful walk-through of how Andy has 'magpied' an idea via Twitter and blogs, and more importantly, how he has adapted it to his way and his class.
What did I take from this?
A taxonomy of errors is something that I have done in the past, but not in such a well ordered, well structured and pupil friendly manner. A big long list of common errors (my original attempt) is about as useful as a chocolate tea-pot.
The organisation of common errors, into Easy Fixes, Moderate Fixes, Hard Fixes, Hardest Fixes focused on a specific exam question (or an Assessment Focus at KS3) is an efficient and purposeful way of providing very focused feedback.
Anything that saves time with marking and feedback has got to be good.
9. Chris Curtis @Xris32
Novel things to do with sentences
Chris, my travelling companion and blogging buddy, was the last to speak in this section. This was his first ever Teach Meet and lo and behold, he presented too! Mind you, he visibly gulped when he was introduced as the 'headline' speaker for this section, no pressure eh?
Chris's talk was a great walk-through of how he has taught pupils sentence structures explicitly whilst avoiding the tedium of the 'This is simple sentence, this is a compound sentence, this is a complext sentence' of the approaches began as as teachers.
What did I take from this?
- Provide pupils with exemplar structures that they can experiment with
- Teaching varied and efficient use of sentence structures improves their analytical writing
- Swipe interesting sentence structures from a wide range of texts - let the students have a go
- Teaching sentence is not as tricky as you think, but so necessary. This link to his blog post for this presentation, is below:

I've been using this moisturiser from Clarins for just over a month now. I wanted to make good use of it before I gave my opinion. I chose to purchase the product for normal to dry skin, although my skin is normal/combination it can get quite dry and dehyrdrated in the colder months and I wanted a moisturiser which was a little heavier than the ones I already own. Clarins also sell Hydraquench with added SPF15 and another variant which is a gel/cream version. I chose the basic HydraQuench cream as I wanted to use it at night so didn't feel like I needed added SPF, and I find gel/cream formulas can sometimes be more drying.
I've been using a 10p sized amount of the product every night after cleansing and toning. I like the moisturiser as it is quite basic and non offensive, it does what it says on the tin. I do feel like the cream hydrates and moisturises my skin but I'm not amazed by it. I don't think it's made a difference to my skin so I won't be running out to buy it again, I think there are many cheaper products available which do the same thing. I would recommend the product if you have sensitive/blemish prone skin and you are looking for a basic moisturiser that wont irritate your skin. Have you tried HydraQuench, what do you think?


text: Re-design, Slow post & Gmail mania continues 08 June 2004 Wow, its been some time since my last post. Mainly been busy with work and finally looking around for new dedicated boxes, and leased line a long with normal support for my CF apps. Anyway nice to see that somethings never change and the need for a Gmail account is still required (and yes there is a need from me to have one (though not paying for it). First you could get them on ebay for somewhere in the region of £70+($100), then your could swap them, now you can get one in return of a good deedAlso been playing with the Aura Xhtml templates as you can see on my site. Oooo and anyone that has noticed out of my last 4 redesigns in 2 months i seem to be sticking with this one.

Packing had always made me anxious. I seriously can't remember I time when it didn't. A trip overseas would have me practically hyperventilating. I'm not sure exactly why I felt this way, but it always led to over packing with lots of 'just in case' items stuffed into my falling apart suitcase.
But thanks to embracing a capsule wardrobe mentality it no longer stresses me! Three days ago I packed for our three week stint with the in-laws up at the Sunshine Coast. I found myself enjoying the packing process?!? WTF?!? Is this the high Type As talk about when everything is organised?? If so, I want a bit more A in my life (not that type of A**, I know you thought it)!
Everyone has their own take on what exactly a capsule wardrobe and minimalist dressing means. But the basics are:
- You must love every single item in your wardrobe. In a minimalist wardrobe you love how you feel in each piece and would be happy to wear it 'right now'. Get rid of the items that you don't feel comfortable and confident in. Not only does this mean you can feel good in all your threads, you will also benefit from taking less time to get ready and be free of 'clothes clutter' which can only be a good thing for your mental health along with less laundry.
- Staple pieces are included that can be worn with multiple items thus creating more looks with less. For example, denim shorts that can be worn with any of your t-shirts and shirts, or a skirt that can day you from work, drinks and weekends. Keep one bag that you can use for work, the weekend and when out with the kids – versatility is key.
There is no real rule as to how many clothes you can keep if trying this out. Some people like to take part in challenges such as Project 333 where you wear 33 items for 3 months. The rest of your clothes are packed away and rotated out for each season. You could even go as hardcore as The Minimalists Co-Founder Joshua Fields Millburn who lives out of a carry-on bag for a whole year!
Recently I had a mini makeover by some girlfriends. I was feeling mega blue about my general appearance after getting in the 'I have a newborn/on maternity leave/leggings will suffice for all activities' rut. Many winter mornings I shoved a jumper over what I wore to bed, braless and all, as I dashed to school drop off. I was physically comfortable but as Rosalina got older I had let this stage run too long. I'm not being dramatic when I say I had really lost myself. It is incredible the power clothes and some makeup can have.
This is when my friends introduced me to Decjuba and my wardrobe and confidence changed. THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST but just have to share the love for my big boob and Joey pouch Lovelies (Decjuba reps, if you want to take your chances with a small time blogger I'M YOUR GIRL)! Finding a t-shirt that looked good on me had been a futile mission until I discovered the Decjuba Luxe Boyfriend Tees. They skim and hug in all the right places so you can walk out of the house knowing you look decent and won't be asked when the twins are due! At around the $40 mark they aren't cheap, but I waited for another sale (Decjuba is always having sales and you get 10% off everything if you are a member, majority of items in this post were purchased on sale) and bought three more tees in different colours. Wished they washed a bit better than they do but they are pretty good. There is no point in me purchasing cheap tops from Kmart and expecting to look and feel great. They just don't cut for my body type. So capsule/minimalist dressing has an element of investing in quality upfront. I have also been able to pick up a few pairs of shorts and other pieces from this Mecca. Throw in a few items from other shops and I had a great base for my summer wardrobe.
So what has this got to do with packing? Well I've decided to use my packed bag as a capsule wardrobe test. If I don't miss anything I didn't pack then I know I can live without the rest of my items at home. This will only be for summer wear, as living in Canberra I need winter gear and going back to work means corporate clothes as well.
So here is what I have packed, taking into account I have easy access to a washing machine at my in-laws. Oh and excuse the non-perfect photos, my boys insisted in jumping on the bed and ruining the piles, I couldn't get a shot without my feet when standing on the bed, and most of it is crinkled because ironing is lameo.
From Decjuba:
-Four Decjuba Luxe Boyfriend Tees in neutral tones to easily mix and match
–Sapporo Boyfriend Denim short. I couldn't fit into these at my original mini make over shop, but have been embracing a healthier lifestyle and now can do so had to buy them.
–Positano Drawstring short. Super comfy and versatile, can dress up or down.
–Sorrento Star Print shirt. I have worn this shirt a bunch and will wear it to work as well. Bonus is it doesn't need ironing. Yew!
-Bell sleeve top. Love it as covers my tuck shop lady arms and adds a bit of style and class without being OTT (no longer online).
–Medium Hunger Project pouch. Perfect size if you only have one or none of the kids with you. Super cute and 100% of proceeds goes to The Hunger Project.
Everything else:
–Witchery Button Chambray Dress. Versatile and great for breastfeeding.
-Target Black shirt dress. I love this dress and already got so much wear from it. Again great for feeding, covers my 'see you later' arms and a decent length meaning it will be a work staple as well (no longer online).
-Maternity swimmers – need to update these as feeling bit big now especially as my boobs are starting to sag even more WAAH!
-Roxy black long sleeve zip through rashie. I love this rashie soo much! Asked for one for my b'day last year and it's the best. Super easy on and off, breastfeeding friendly and slimming. Mine is like this one, just with a different logo style.
-H&M pineapple tee
-H&M throw over dress with pockets which I love and a steal for $20. Great for the beach or just after a dip in the in-laws pool.
-Two pairs of light 'hippie' pants. One from Big W and the other from a Sportsgirl sales bin years ago. They are fun and perfect for 'non shaved legs' days.
-Five pairs of underwear that are all ridiculously old with most of them being older than two of my kids and the rest are my post-caesarean high waisted ones. Yep, I'm totes sexy. Really need to get this situation sorted.
-Activewear that I have had for over three years made up of some Target running shorts and an old Witchery tee that has stood the test of time. I will mention here the AMAZING Cake Lingerie Maternity Sports Bra. It is fantastic and I can jog with a supportive crop top over it (need double support to strap these girls down). I will be doing a review on this bra over at Stay Put Girls when we finally get our act together.
–Kmart Woven Panama Hat for $9. Finally a hat that has a nice shape, does the job and fits my melon head.
-Three pairs of footwear – a pair of joggers, a $3 pair of Kmart thongs and my favourite sandals from last year at CottonOn.
-Zara denim jacket from when I could fit into Zara's clothes. Brought this along in case I get cold at the movies or the gods get mad and make it cold on the Sunshine Coast.
-PJs including feeding singlets and my favourite pair from Kmart's last summer season.
-A book, two magazines, medications, laptop, bit of jewellery and toiletries.
Phew! After writing all that I feel like that I have packed too much but being here it hasn't felt that way at all. I have had something to wear yet have done some washing so know I haven't gone overboard.
Tell me what type of packer are you? Got any tips on a capsule wardrobe! Help me out by leaving a comment!
Much love,
Em x

Vietnamese Ginger Shrimp Stir Fry Recipe - Tom xao gung
Cooking shrimp is often a fragile task. First, you've got to form certain the shrimp are very recent. Then, the cooking time should be precise thus as to not over-cook, otherwise they become horrible and really chewy. Lastly, the flavors that are paired with the shrimp ought to season them well while not concealing the freshness of the seafood. This recipe undoubtedly hits the mark, however do not simply take my word for it!
½ cup Kosher salt
2 tablespoons palm sugar, freshly grated
2 tablespoons red chili powder
1 (5-inch) chunk fresh ginger
1-½ cups lychee liqueur
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tablespoons canola oil
1-½ tablespoons lychee jam
½ teaspoon salt
1 lime, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon dried fried shallot (store-bought), slightly crushed
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon cilantro or green onions, for garnish
PreparationFor the ginger: Clean the ginger and take away any dirt. Peel the ginger root with a paring knife (or the sting of a spoon). Grate regarding one in. of ginger with a fine mesh microplane. Gather regarding two teaspoons of grated ginger root. Set aside.
Using a sharp knife, cut the ginger into slices, lengthwise then julienne them into matchstick-like items.
Prepping the shrimp:
Remove and discard the pinnacle of the shrimp if it's still connected. fastidiously shell and de-vein the black a part of the shrimp employing a sharp hook-like paring knife, all the manner from the pinnacle to the tail thus when it's cooked, the shrimp can open up sort of a butterfly. check that to get rid of the tip of the tail (the shell that covers the tail) as well; this half is extremely delicate. Rinse the shrimp underneath cold running water and pat dry employing a paper towel. Repeat an equivalent procedure for every shrimp. These steps are tedious however essential for smart results.
Marinating the shrimp:
In a giant bowl, dissolve the palm sugar in one cup water, then mix the liquid with the shrimp, two cloves of garlic, one tablespoon julienned ginger, Kosher salt, red chili powder and one cup lychee liqueur. Let represent regarding half-hour within the refrigerator.
Drain the shrimp and pat dry using paper towels. There ought to be as very little liquid as attainable.
Cooking ginger shrimp:
Warm the remaining lychee alcohol a couple of seconds within the microwave.
In a large, heavy-bottom pan, heat the oil for regarding 1-2 minutes over high heat. Add the remainder of the garlic and remaining julienned ginger. Cook till fragrant.
Season the shrimp with salt.
Place the shrimp within the pan one piece at a time. Cook for regarding 1-2 minutes till seared on one aspect, then begin stir-frying the shrimp for one more minute (if the pan isn't giant enough, you'll stir-fry the shrimp in batches). The shrimp can begin to open up sort of a butterfly. Add the nice and cozy lychee liqueur. Immediately light-weight the alcohol and permit to cook till all the flames disappear. it isn't as scary because it seems!
Note: When flaming alcohol, i am forever terribly cautious and have a fireplace extinguisher close.
Add the fried shallots, lychee jam and drizzle with lime juice. Stir well. Sprinkle with black pepper. shut down the warmth and transfer to a platter.
Garnish with cilantro or inexperienced onions.
Serve with rau muống (my favorite Vietnamese greens) and steamed jasmine rice on the aspect.

Heartbleed bug hits web security
Several major technology firms have urged users to change all their passwords in the wake of the Heartbleed bug security breach.
The bug was first reported on Monday after going undetected for more than 2 years.
It bypasses the OpenSSL cryptographic library, which is used online to digitally scramble sensitive information as it passes between computer servers.
It is best known as the padlock icon that appears in the corner of web browser windows to show the page you are using online is secure when data moves back and forth.
The Heartbleed bug is a flaw in this system that can give anyone access to the data behind that encryption, including passwords and credit card details, without leaving any trace.

Get your site noticed with a simple strategy proven to work
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.

A great weekend in the Highlands with some lovely people.
Viewing entries in
It's been another very good holiday in Japan. For a treat I decided to come to Tokyo alone for two nights to do some "me time" including some photography in this amazing, vast and crazy city. I'm staying in a cool little Guesthouse in Kuramae and decided not to venture too far - to Asakusa, Shinjuku, Shibuya and Akihabara. It's been a lot of fun but too hot! By 1pm today I was exhausted shooting in Akihabara so came back for a chill out and a shower. Hopefully I will have enough energy for the Sumidagawa Hanabi tonight!

A splendidly ill-tempered assault on the music industry, nostalgic boomers, and rock stars who refuse to die.
Strausbaugh, the 50ish editor of the New York Press, establishes an axiom at the outset: "Rock is youth music." His chief targets are therefore the doddering stars of old who, half a lifetime ago, had hits with gummy tunes such as "Hang on Sloopy" and "Young Girl"—and, for that matter, "Satisfaction"—and now, decades later, continue to trot them out for their fellow grayhairs by way of some mass refusal to acknowledge that none of them is young anymore. Fond of gory details, Strausbaugh exhibits for our consideration the case of Kim Simmonds, guitarist for the '70s British blues-rock band Savoy Brown, who took a bunch of ringers out on tour a couple of years back to squeeze whatever dollars he could from whatever remained of his constituency. "He looked about seventy-five," Strausbaugh writes, "with one of those terrifyingly runny melting-cheese faces old British guys get from a lifetime of hoisting pints." Simmonds is not alone, and neither is he the worst of the lot; Strausbaugh gleefully name-checks a phalanx of geezers—Jethro Tull, Yes, the Allman Brothers, and the once-mighty Rolling Stones—who have no business prancing and preening like teenagers, but whose business it is to do so all the same. Business is good, he continues, because the children of the '60s and '70s, steeped in nostalgia and bent on recapturing the "magic" of their teen years, refuse to admit that they're now the enemy; artist and audience are complicit in mass denial exercised in the form of an unholy musical genre that Strausbaugh terms "colostomy rock." If you're a fan of latter-day Bowie or the Boss, you'll likely be irritated by Strausbaugh's scattershot attack on your heroes—which means, Strausbaugh would probably say, that he's done his job.
Either way, it's a fine piece of punk journalism, and a barrel of laughs for like-minded readers.

The Orca Freedom Concert held a press conference Tuesday afternoon at Experience Music Project to talk about their mission, and what moved them to get involved. Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Graham Nash and Country Joe McDonald (of Country Joe and the Fish) appeared with guitar virtuoso Arielle (protégé of Queen lead guitarist Brian May) and the concert's producer, Michael Harris, a wildlife documentarian and conservationist. "This Earth is in a very fragile place," Nash said. "Humankind is in the way." All were moved by the 2013 documentary "Blackfish," directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. The film focuses on Tilikum, an orca held by SeaWorld, and the controversy over captive killer whales. "I'm an entertainer and I can do it by choice," Ann Wilson told reporters. "An orca, separated from its family, feeling psychotic and really sad, can't. I saw 'Blackfish' and it was like being hit by a truck." Nash said he planned to sing "Wind on the Water," an ode to whale conservation that he recorded with David Crosby back in 1975 – and which still rings true. The Wilson sisters were planning on singing "Carry On" with Nash. Said McDonald: "It's hard to write an entertaining song that isn't depressing," when it comes to saving the whales. "But what the hell," he said, "maybe we'll set them all free. You never know." Kiss the Sky! The Orca Freedom Concert 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 22 at Experience Music Project, 325 Fifth Ave. N., Seattle; $100-$500 (206-770-2700 or www.empsfm.org).

Web Marketing: How to Optimize for Local Search
If you're a local business in web marketing, try optimizing for local search. A top local search listing can drive customers faster than any other online marketing technique. Google and Bing are always experimenting with new ways to mix local search data into search results. Note how Google has added local information and reviews, and inserted several bicycle shops into the top 10 for seattle bicycles.
Local search optimization isn't difficult. But it does require a very sustained effort, around three different factors:
Listings, on the local search engines and the directory sites they reference
Reviews and bookmarks on those same sites
Local data on your website
The first step in local search optimization is making sure that your business is in each major search engine's local search directory. To do so, follow these steps:
Search for your business on Google Places and Bing.
Make sure you fill out all fields requested by the search engine, including the description and hours.
Submit your website to InfoUSA.com, Yelp.com, Superpages.com, Yellowpages.com, and CitySearch.com.
The major search engines crawl these sites to determine relevance and location. Note that other sites are available, too. These basics will get you started.
Make sure that your business is assigned to the correct category in the local listings.

High-investment, emotional products are unwelcoming to newcomers. Like automobiles, you really need history and heritage to gain respect. Can you sell a car just because it's cheap? Yes, but you won't be respected or have a fan base like the prestige German brands. If you're a newcomer and want to be admired, Shinola is a good role model to look at. Their products are selling out everywhere so there must be a good reason for it.
Shinola is a company in Detroit selling a variety of products from leather goods to bicycles. Everyone has an opinion on how Detroit should be "fixed". I think an approach like Shinola is the way to go; they're best known for their watches manufactured right in motor city. Make amazing products, create jobs, and be proud of your city. Hope is the first step to renaissance.
A man could use a premium, heirloom quality watch so I decided to get a Shinola Runwell for my father this Christmas. This is the 47mm Runwell in stainless steel with leather strap and costs $550.
The Runwell is the center of Shinola's product line and ranges from $500-1000. It's available in a large variety of colors, materials and options like a chronograph. The Runwell is to Shinola as a latte is to a coffee shop.
The Runwell ships in a wooden box wrapped in black cardboard. It's stylistically a little bit retro for me, but that comes with the brand. The initial presentation is well-done with an immediate reveal of the watch.
Shinola includes a small tin of leather balm. It contains paraffin wax, tallow, and mink oil. A bit of a homage to the brand's origins?
The other contents of the box (clockwise): a short story pamphlet, manual/warranty booklet, storage case, and a small plaque.
The included pamphlet gives insight into the process of making the watch, and most interestingly, includes snapshots of the factory in Detroit. The Shinola watches are manufactured in the iconic Argonaut Building, once used by GM as a design studio. It's now called the A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education, as it was donated to The College for Creative Studies by GM in 2007.
There's even a leather storage case included with the watch - a true sign of attention to detail.
In a very Mercedes-Benz AMG fashion, Shinola includes a small plaque with the name of the watchmaker responsible for your watch. My father's came with Stephan Mihoc's name, the master watchmaker of Shinola.
The first thing you'll notice about the watch is its heft and solidity. This comes from the fact that the entire casing of the Runwell is constructed from polished stainless steel. This is how Detroit should feel. It's a different feeling of heft than the Germans (precision) or the Japanese (concentration). This is American heft - solid, bold and fearless.
The watch face is simple and bold. I'd prefer something more delicate but the design fits the brand and is great for legibility. There isn't much garnish here but the numbers and markers are slightly raised to add a touch of flair. This clean look is complimented nicely by a few orange touches (love the lightening bolt) and a reminder of its Detroit origins. The seconds dial is a bit more muted with tasteful thin lines. In contrast, the hour and minute hands have more classic lines with graceful curves. These hands are painted with Super-LumiNova, giving them incredible luminance in the dark.
The case back is clearly a reference to the automotive industry with a stamped metal plate that could belong on an engine. You'll find a laser engraved serial number on the plate, emphasizing the limited production numbers of the watch. You'll also find four screws pushed all the way to the edge of the backing. I've been told that they attach right to the face of the watch to increase structural rigidity.
The Runwell has a domed saphire crystal that is appropriately retro and plays nicely with the curved bezel.
The watch strap is slightly padded and made from Horween Leather* by Hadley-Roma in Largo, Florida. The strap is nice and thick to balance the heft of the solid-steel watch.
* Worth noting that Horween is America's oldest continuously-operated tannery.
Like the face of the watch, the clasp features a orange lightning bolt. It's something many people won't even discover but is a sign of the care that has gone into the watch.
The crown, which also features a tiny lightning bolt, screws into the body to prevent accidental adjustment. Shinola uses a quartz movement they call the Argonite-1069. It's Swiss-made (Ronda AG) but is manufactured in Detroit by a dozen or so watch makers. It's a good feeling to hold something that you know was hand-crafted by a small group of people. Everyone wants to see Shinola produce a mechanical movement but this is really the sensible financial and logistical move.
It's hard to not like Shinola. We all want to support the underdogs, and it doesn't get better than a unique, hand crafted watch company with a dream to revitalize Detroit. There's one thing that I wish Shinola could do differently: it's design. The watch is pretty, in a classic, timeless way but it's far from innovative or super desirable. For a watch that's looking so far ahead, the design is awfully stuck in the past. I'm hopeful that future Shinola watches will be both crafted with pride and progressive in design. It's what made Motor City great in the first place.

See Tipitapa through the eyes of our youth delegates/
Dos Pueblos led a youth delegation to Tipitapa, Nicaragua in February of 2013. It was a wonderful experience for the teens---both those from the US and the Nicaraguan friends they made. In addition to exploring volcanoes and swimming in lakes, the U.S. students had the chance to learn about the culture and history of the region and participate in community-building projects. Watch the amazing video that Esther Duran, documentary filmmaker and mom to youth delegate Miranda Ranghelli, created:

It happens every Friday at 3:15 pm, fifteen minutes before the school bus arrives.
Every Friday without fail.
I wouldn't miss this date for the world.
Every Friday around 3:10 pm I grab my six foot by six foot orange striped blanket/towel. I walk out my front door and turn left and ease my way past four houses and at the fifth house I spread out my soft blanket and lay it on the coarse St. Augustine grass. I lay down on the towel and prop myself up on my left elbow and wait.
I don't have to wait long before the front door of the fifth house opens up and here comes Levi. On his left shoulder he carries an insulated soft sided cooler that contains four very important items. One twelve ounce can of Coke. One seven and a half ounce can of Coke. Two small bags of Trail Mix.
We open up the bag and a surprise look flashes across my face every Friday, "Look at what your mom packed for us! Two Cokes and two bags of Trail Mix! Wow!" Levi's face lights up like a Christmas tree. I pull out two miniature red solo cups and pour Coke into them. We raise our glasses and click them together and proudly say, "Cheers!" Levi's pronunciation is more like "Tweers."
And so begins my wonderful, weekly, warm Four Year Old Date…
This past Friday I asked Levi what he was going to do on Saturday. His answer was quick and decisive. "I don't get to spend time with you on Saturdays. Only on Fridays."
This is true. Only on Fridays do we get to laugh on the lawn and chug our Cokes.
I spoke to Levi's mom about this and her eyes became as big and round as saucers. "Every day Levi wakes up and asks what day it is. When I tell him that it is not Friday, he immediately flops back down on the bed. But when I do tell him that it is Friday, he straightens right up, jumps out of bed and gets dressed right away and all day long he asks, 'Is it time yet? Is it time to go outside and see David?'"
The anticipation is almost more than Levi can take. The front door on Fridays opens up and Levi almost rushes as fast as he can so that he can sit down on the orange striped blanket, look me in the eye and have our fifteen minutes together alone before the bus arrives and a slew of the neighborhood kids come bounding off.
It has become a ritual, a rite of passage and a holy time for a four year old and a fifty-one year old to come together and share a snack and a Coke together.
Of the two of us, the fifty-one year old and the four year old, which one of us represents Jesus the most? What would you say?
I believe you have guessed correctly.
Levi, the four year old best represents Jesus in my eyes on this weekly encounter.
In reality it's Jesus who waits all day, every day to meet us face to face.
Jesus can't wait to hear the sound of our voice.
Jesus can't wait to be in our presence.
Jesus can't wait to gaze lovingly into our eyes.
Jesus can't wait to raise a cup with us and shout, "Cheers!"
Jesus can't wait to lay down on our blanket and just shoot the breeze.
Jesus can't wait to listen to our heart of hearts.
Jesus drives the angels crazy in heaven as he asks over and over, "Is today the day that I get to talk to one of my children?"
And so it is… Levi the four year old is Jesus to me and I, David Dendy, the fifty-one year old preacher is the child.
It's amazing what spiritual truths I have learned on "My Four Year Old Date…"
Thank you Levi!
"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." Jesus – (Matthew 19. 14 ESV)
Laugh often and Fear not!

Avastin® Injections in Nashville, TN
Avastin® is an injectable medication for patients with wet age-related macular degeneration. The treatment slows the damage caused by the condition and can prevent or delay vision loss. Jeffrey D. Horn, MD, of Vision for Life offers Avastin® injections for the residents of Nashville, Oak Hill, Lebanon and the surrounding communities of Tennessee.
What are Avastin® Injections?
Macular degeneration is a disorder of the retina in the back of the eye. In patients with macular degeneration, abnormal blood vessels grow around the retina. These vessels leak fluid and blood into the eye and interfere with clear vision. Patients with macular degeneration should be treated for the condition to prevent vision loss. Avastin® is an FDA-approved treatment that prevents the new blood vessels from developing.
Benefits of Avastin® Injections
Avastin® injections are:
- Performed on an outpatient basis
- Require no downtime
- Clinically proven to help alleviate the symptoms of macular degeneration and other eye disorders
What Can Be Treated with Avastin® Injections?
Dr. Horn may use Avastin® injections to treat:
- Wet age-related macular degeneration
- WCentral retinal vein occlusion
- WDiabetic macular edema
What to Expect From Avastin® Injections
Your eye is dilated and numbed prior to the injections. Dr. Horn uses a fine needle to inject Avastin® into the eye. You feel no discomfort during the procedure. You should have Avastin® injections every four to six weeks to control the development of abnormal blood vessels in your eye.
Are Avastin® Injections Right for Me?
Avastin® injections help alleviate the symptoms of wet age-related macular degeneration and certain other eye disorders. If you are diagnosed with one of these conditions, Dr. Horn may recommend Avastin® injections.
How Much Do Avastin® Injections Cost in Nashville?
The cost of your Avastin® injections may not be covered by your vision and medical insurance. We accept cash, check and major credit cards, including Visa®, MasterCard®, and American Express®, for your out-of-pocket costs, such as a co-payment, deductible and co-insurance, and any other remaining balance. Financing is available through Alphaeon™ Credit and CareCredit®.
At Vision for Life, our ophthalmologist, Jeffrey D. Horn, MD, offers Avastin® injections for the residents of Nashville, Murfreesboro and the surrounding communities of Tennessee. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please contact us today!

What I've been up to
Speaking of those stories, I have 2 short stories and a couple flash stories I have finished polishing up and will be submitting soon to some paying markets. They might be out there a while, but by the time I get to the bottom of my lists I hopefully will have a bunch more in the pipeline as my idea bank (literally a piggybank I put postits and index cards with ideas in) is full of stuff waiting to be written. So that's cool and I'm glad I've been able to really buckle down on those projects.
But I've also been working on my novels. My SF novel "Project Theodosius" (working title) is coming along nicely. Every once in a while I need to make a tweak to the outline, but for the most part it's good. I'm about 20k into it and the story is at the point where it is really writing itself. Even now that I'm getting into the middle sections, I'm not feeling any type of story sag as I climb the wordcount ladder towards the climax. In fact, I think there is plenty of action/intrigue to not only keep my at the edge of my seat when I'm writing, but also hopefully eventually the reader.
The mainstream novel I'm in the editing process with, "An Echo Remains" is going well. I've made the necessary macro adjustments I think I've needed to make so the story runs smoothly with a good, solid character arc. At first that was tough because it meant doing a complete overhaul on the first couple chapters, which I really didn't want to do. I guess I'm fine with line edits, but getting myself to delete an entire chapter or scene is tough and I never really want to sit down and do it. But saner opinions prevaled and I got those done with.
With those novels, I would like to have the edits done on Echo as well as the first draft of Theodosius done by the end of the summer, and looking at my schedule I should have enough time. (Even with my marathon training really ramping up) I think I will try to get a flash story on here once in a while, and a couple weeks ago I wrote one for that purpose, but I ended up liking it so much I wanted to save that one for submissions. So that's another thing I need to watch out for, is I don't want to get into the trap of never releasing any material here because I think it's all too good to be given away for free, and I don't want to just post the second-rate stories I have on here either. So hopefully I'll bite the bullet with one of these and post one.
Anyways that's what I've been up to. What about you?

If you are looking for a new way to dramatize your wardrobe this fall, palazzo pants may be your best bet. These trendy pants marry wide leg trousers with flowy fabric. At first glance, a pair could be mistaken for a maxi skirt, but once these bottoms are revealed, they are sure to add drama to any look.
Although palazzo pants were popular wear for movie stars in the 1940s (Katharine Hepburn, for example), they have never been a fashion staple. And since they seem to come in and out of style over long periods of time, they may not be the best investment. But it's a risk I'm willing to take – I think I may have to add a pair to my wardrobe this winter!

What are your thoughts on palazzo pants?
Would you wear them? Are these bottoms perfect or too trendy? How would you wear them? Do you own any? Dish it out in your comments below!

I believe there is no way you can ever really know someone all the way. They will always do something you didn't expect, say something you never saw coming, make a choice that shocks you. Well, eventually they will.
Now, I feel like I know this guy. But in most interviews we get these days people tend to ask same-ish questions. When did you start playing drums? How did you develop your sound? Who are your musical heroes?
But for me, who you ARE shapes the art you make even more than who you listen to. So I decided to interview my Musical-Soul-Mate myself and let him shock me. And he did. Enjoy.

I know some of you have already had lots of snow, so winter's almost old news to you. We've still been having 70 degree days here and there, but sadly, it looks like we're set to get our first batch of freezing rain later this week. (On a day that I'm supposed to be outside all day…) So I suppose its an appropriate time to break out the soups.
I love potato soups, but I'm a little picky about them. I like both some of that velvety texture and also chunks of potatoes. I was very sad to see that my favorite potato soup, Bear Creek Creamy Potato, got an F from Food Facts for basically being a chemical stew. I knew then I had to make my own. This one is a great use for some leftover ham you're sure to have after the holiday dinners coming up. I threw some of this in the freezer for those must.have.soup. kind of days.
Clean crockpot ham and potato soup
5 medium potatoes, chopped 1/4 inch pieces
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic salt
1 box (32 oz) chicken broth (organic and free-range if possible)
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups chopped cooked ham
1. Chop potatoes and rinse well to remove some of the starch
2. Put potatoes, onions, broth and seasonings in crockpot.
3. Cook for 4 hours on high heat.
4. Remove about two cups of soup and blend in the blender. Add back to the crockpot.
5. Whisk flour and milk together in a bowl and add to soup. Add the ham.
6. Cook for 30 minutes

Hunting is a very physical sport. It requires strength to carry gear and ultimately, whatever you bag. Stamina and speed are also necessary for getting your game. In the off season when you're not as active outdoors, it can be easy to get a little out of shape. Use these 4 tips so that you can get fit for hunting season.
1. Watch What You Eat
Everyone knows that diet and exercise are important when getting in shape, but just how important is diet? According to Shawn Talbott, PhD, and former director of the University of Utah Nutrition Clinic, the general rule of thumb states that weight loss is 75 percent diet and 25 percent exercise. That means if you are trying to get in shape:
- Eat plenty of lean protein. Avoid processed meats.
- To paraphrase Michael Pollen from In Defense of Food: "Eat. . . mostly plants." That means get lots of vegetables and fruit.
- Cut down on the sugar.
- Drink plenty of water.
2. Cardio Training Is Important
Chances are you are not going to be chasing game in your truck. More than likely, you will park somewhere and then hike to the spot where you will set up your base. Working on your cardio will help you develop the stamina to hike and to chase game. Cardio can make your heart strong and will improve lung capacity. Try these cardio exercises to improve your stamina:
- Hiking with a pack to simulate field conditions.
- Biking–stationary or on a regular bike.
- Crawling– get down low to work out muscles you didn't know you had.
- Jogging–the go-to cardio exercise.
3. Don't Forget Strength Training
When you're hiking from your vehicle to the place where you'll hunt, you'll probably be carrying all sorts of gear. Most hunting rifles alone average better than 12 pounds. Add ammo to that and your pack can get pretty heavy. And for bow hunters, the weight of the bow depends on the strength of the pull. Heavier pull tension means a heavier bow. Then there is pulling or carrying the weight of a dead animal back to your vehicle. Try some of these strength training exercises to get fit for hunting:
- Carry heavier objects such as kettle balls or full rucksacks up and down hills
- Work with an elastic band to increase muscle strength.
- Attach a rope to an old tire and pull it around in as many different ways as you can think of to simulate pulling your game once you have killed it.
- Nautilus weight training
4. Off-Season Hunting Will Keep You Fit In More Ways Than One
The truth is, you can hunt all year round if you are willing to switch up the game that you are after. Hunting off-season allows you not only to remain physically fit but will help you to keep your tracking and shooting skills in top condition. Consider some of these off-season sports to help your mind and body get fit for hunting:
- Predator Hunting– In many states you can hunt predators at any time.
- Ocean Fishing– this isn't as tame as lake fishing as ocean fish tend to be bigger.
- Bow Fishing– a popular sport that requires focus and split second decision making.
Hunting is not a spectator sport. It requires an active mind and a body that is in shape. Following the above suggestions will help you get fit for hunting.
