As you gear up for summer and perhaps some trips to the beach, don't forget to add in some reading to your day! Why not give it a summer feel with this beach themed emergent reader? With predictable text and sight words, this is a great book for your early reader!
Beach Emergent Reader
I am all about ease of use and quick prep when it comes to most learning activities. I know that in a classroom (and home too), time is so valuable, and we don't want to spend it all stapling and cutting.
That's what I love about this emergent reader – super easy to prep! Just print double sided, cut in half, staple, and you have two books ready to go!
For this beach themed book, I printed the color version and laminated it to keep as a classroom copy. Then, I also copied off enough of the black and white copies for my kids to color their own.
The book kicks off with the question "What will I see at the beach?" Then, each page contains sight words and a predictable pattern, where you can read all of the things you may see on a trip to the beach.
Things such as a sandcastle, beach ball, umbrella, crab, and shells. The picture support is there to help kids read the changing word as well.
My kids love that on their copy it doesn't just say "name" but rather it says "colored by" – making them feel like quite the illustrators. I love that they are engaged, and that I can send them home with books to keep!

The Perth Hills region has long been admired for its idyllic rural setting just a 30-minute drive from the CBD.
The landscape, which covers more than 100km and takes in the Darling Range from Chittering down to Serpentine, is an ideal destination for a short stay close to the state's capital city. A haven for nature lovers, the Perth Hills offers the best of both worlds with expansive views of the natural bush and lush forest, coupled with the towering buildings of Perth city sparkling in the night. A trip to the Perth Hills is a great way to take some time out and recharge, helped of course by the many local vineyards and idyllic picnic locations. The Bickley Carmel Harvest Festival is held in autumn and sees a range of producers offer up their wares as visitors roam through more than 15 participating venues. The region also has several artistic events and markets to stop at. The area is blessed with some fine laterite soil, which produces an outstanding selection of red wines and some surprising whites too. The best red wines to try here are cabernet sauvignon and shiraz, and there are also some interesting whites such as viognier. The majority of the region's producers are small scale or family owned and a visit to the cellar door is the only chance many will have to sample some of these hidden gems.

An inexpensive Cape Cod family vacation? Is there such a thing? Absolutely!
With less than $1,000 in your vacation budget, your family can easily have a fantastic week-long getaway on Cape Cod MA. Let me show you how.
For this sample itinerary, I've chosen the scenic, centrally-located town of Brewster as your vacation home base.
Note: As you'll see below, you can have an amazingly wallet-friendly vacation in other Cape Cod towns, too, without sacrificing any comfort or fun!
For a super-affordable place to stay, you can't beat camping at Nickerson State Park.
Covering more than 1900 acres of woodlands, fields, and freshwater ponds, Nickerson is (in my humble opinion) the premier state park in Massachusetts - and perhaps in all of New England.
At Nickerson, it's all right there for you. Swimming, boating, fishing, miles of walking and bike trails, plus lots of free family activities. All in one of the prettiest settings you can imagine.
A Summer Day at Cliff Pond
For around $30 a night, you can pitch your tent or set up your camper on one of 400 wooded or pond-view sites.
If you're able to up your lodging budget somewhat, Nickerson also has furnished 4-person and 6-person yurts.
TIP: Prime campsites sell out quickly. You can sometimes find a vacancy at the last minute, but I wouldn't count on it. (Yurt vacancies are even tougher to get - they're often snapped up a year or more in advance.)
To be sure you don't miss out, it's a good idea to make reservations as soon as you decide on your vacation dates!
No spots available at Nickerson for your vacation dates?
Try one of the other state parks on Cape Cod:
Eating In
"Self catering", as our British friends so delicately refer to cooking your own meals, definitely keeps vacation food expenses down.
But come on - this is a vacation, after all. In my humble opinion, vacation isn't vacation without a few special meals to sample the local fare.
I've included the cost of a lobster feast for the whole family in your Cape Cod vacation budget.
From Nickerson State Park, several supermarkets are only a few minutes away. Call or stop by, order your lobsters, and they'll cook 'em up for you to take out.
Grab a few sides like corn on the cob, potato or macaroni salad, and crusty bread. You'll be all set for an extra-special Cape Cod picnic dinner!
Seafood prices vary from week to week, depending on catch conditions and market rates. I usually get four nice-sized lobsters for around $60. That's much less than you'll pay in most restaurants ;-)
Eating Out
Without blowing the budget you can easily have a few restaurant meals ... like lunch at Cobie's, my favorite lunch stop on the bike trail near Nickerson State Park.
Try Cobie's fresh fish sandwich. It's lightly breaded and fried, served on a soft roll. Soooo good!
The sweet potato fries are to die for, too.
If you're driving instead of biking there, you'll find Cobie's on Main Street (Rt. 6A) in Brewster.
In many other popular summer vacation destinations, the cost of entertainment takes a big whack out of the family vacation budget. But not on Cape Cod!
Around here, a fantastic family vacation can easily be built around the many free and low-cost activities and attractions our area offers. And the beauty of it is ... the kids will be so busy having the time of their lives, they'll never realize that you're going cheap :-)
Here are some cool things to do that're well within your $100 entertainment budget:
Just a short bikeride from Nickerson State Park are some gorgeous Cape Cod Bay beaches, including the one in this photo - Linnell Landing.
As you can see, Linnell Landing is more than just a lovely stretch of sand - it's a handicap accessible beach, too.
During the summer months, non-residents need a special sticker to park at the saltwater beaches in Brewster. There's no fee to walk or bike in.
Family Programs & Activities at the Park
Nickerson has a full lineup of free summer family vacation programs, including birdwatching, guided hikes, geocaching, and lots more.
If your family isn't all that keen on "organized" vacation activities, you'll still find plenty to keep you busy around the park, at absolutely no charge.
Are you into fishing? I've heard that the park's Cliff Pond is a good spot to wet a line for smallmouth bass. I can't vouch for that personally, as I'm a saltwater fishing girl. But I'll take the freshwater guys' word for it!
For family fun on wheels, Nickerson has 8 miles of bike trails in the park that connect to the 22-mile long Cape Cod Rail Trail bikeway. The Rail Trail runs all the way out to Wellfleet on the National Seashore. Ride as far as you'd like, stop along the way for a picnic, and explore the area!
Bring Your Own Kayak
Catch a Rising Star
Trivia time ...
Question: What do these famous Major League baseball players all have in common?
Answer: Before they became famous, they all played in the Cape Cod Baseball League - the premier amateur summer league in the country.
Catch a Brewster Whitecaps home game at Stony Brook Field, and who knows ... you might be lucky enough to see a future MLB Hall of Famer in action!
Best of all, there's no admission charge to attend the games. Donations are appreciated. We usually give $10 when they pass the hat, but you can certainly feel free to give more or less. It's entirely voluntary.
Visit an Atlantic Ocean Beach
Brewster's Cape Cod Bay coastline is gorgeous, no doubt about it. But there's nothing quite as spectacular as our Atlantic Ocean coastline with it's huge expanses of dune-backed beaches and crashing surf.
It's only about a 15-minute drive from Nickerson State Park to Nauset Beach - a big, beautiful Atlantic Ocean beach the neighboring town of Orleans MA.
Nauset Beach
Whether you take a spin down to have a quick peek and dip your toes in the water, or you decide to spend a whole day there, a visit to Nauset Beach should be at the top of your Cape Cod family vacation "must do" list"!
Liam's, the snack bar at Nauset Beach, serves up the best onion rings known to mankind. And on Monday and Thursday evenings in July and August, there are free family-friendly concerts at the beach gazebo.
Factor a bite to eat at Liam's and a $20 daily Nauset Beach parking fee into your food and entertainment budget. You'll be glad you did!
Believe it or not, you can actually slash your lodging budget to $75 a week and stay right on the shoreline - if you have a self-contained camper that's equipped to travel oversand. Find out more, here.
For Cape Cod seafood extravaganzas "on the cheap", don't buy it - catch it!
Bring your fishing rods and go surfcasting. Take the family on a clam digging adventure. For the very modest cost of a saltwater fishing license and a shellfishing permit, the whole family can have tons of fun catching a delicious meals!
Be sure to check out my Activities and Events pages for lots more free entertainment to keep you busy all week long.
Have a wonderful Cape Cod family vacation!

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive beetle first identified in the United States in 2002. In 2013, it was identified in Boulder, and it has recently been found in three other nearby Colorado communities. EAB is a federally quarantined, invasive tree pest responsible for the death or decline of more than 50 million ash trees to date.
The City of Greeley first developed its management plan in 2014, and as of late 2017, the beetle had not been found within city limits. By educating the public on how to identify and avoid bringing the beetle to the area (and to manage the beetle when it is found inside city limits), we can help protect the city's urban forest from the potential dangers caused by the pest.
At this time, the Emerald Ash Borer has not been identified in the City of Greeley. The City of Greeley Forestry Program pro-actively collects samples from local ash trees on a regular basis to look for the beetle's presence. By educating our community, we can also encourage residents to keep watch for the beetle's presence.
With EAB, it is not a matter of if the beetle will appear in Greeley; it is a matter of when.
Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis fairmaire, is an exotic beetle that was discovered in southeastern Michigan near Detroit in the summer of 2002. The borers are metallic green and up to one half inch long; adult beetles nibble on ash foliage but cause little damage to the leaves themselves. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. Infested trees gradually die over a period of approximately two to four years.
Only ash trees are at risk from the EAB. In Greeley, ash trees make up around 15% of the urban forest. Homeowners may not even realize they have an ash on their property.
Please note: European Mountain ash trees, Sorbus aucuparia, are not true ash and are not susceptible to EAB.
By the time leaves show evidence of EAB, significant damage has been done to the tree's interior, which is why early detection of the beetle's presence is important.
If an ash tree appears unhealthy, consider having it examined by a professional. If you suspect your tree has been infested by the EAB, call the City's Forestry Program at 970-339-2405.
If the EAB is detected in the City of Greeley, to prevent the further spread in Colorado, the Colorado Department of Agriculture will impose and enforce a quarantine on the movement of ash tree products (i.e., chipped wood, branches, logs, stumps and firewood). If that happens, a landfill will be identified for public disposal of EAB-infested material. The City of Greeley Forestry Program maintains an inventory of publicly owned trees, and that includes all varieties of ash trees. City staff will immediately begin determining the health of each infected tree located on city property and treat or replace it, depending on its health.
Private properties with an infected ash tree larger than 15 inches in diameter and in good health can hire a professional to treat it with insecticide, or they can choose to remove the tree and dispose of it in the pre-determined ash tree drop-off site. If the tree is smaller than 15 inches in diameter, residents can choose to treat otherwise healthy trees themselves. If the tree is in poor health, it may need to be cut down and taken to the disposal site. Keep in mind that it could take up to three years for a tree infested with the insect to show signs of decline, so regular inspections are recommended.

About Jung
Carl Gustav Jung
When Carl Jung began his work at the turn of the 20th century, the Western world was at a crossroads. Scholarship and scientific inquiry had separated the physical world from the spiritual, the unconscious from the conscious. This split was critical for human development because throughout most of history, the two were indistinguishable. Appreciating their differences was critical for unleashing the powers of rationality from instinctually. Nonetheless, by the beginning of the 20th century, there was the emerging sense that perhaps the separation had gone too far, and that humankind was suffering from a failure of meaning as a result. There was a thirst for their reintegration, albeit in some new form.
Sigmund Freud brought rational analysis to the unconscious processes, but he did not reintegrate them. The ego served as a nervous Nelly frantically running in regressive fashion between the two, and there was little room for concerns of meaning. It remained for Carl Jung to realign consciousness and unconsciousness by recognizing the power of the symbol to act as the bridge connecting consciousness and unconsciousness, physicality and spirituality. The conscious ego now became a purposive energy in service to the unconscious, symbolic world, and a new appreciation for the spirit of meaningfulness was born.
"This is not the old, mindless unity… but a felt reunion; not empty unity, but full unity; not the oneness of indifference, but the oneness attained through differentiation."
– Karl Joël as cited in Jung, CW5, para. 500n

While IT should be involved from the start in the development of a security strategy, the CISO should be part of the security function (not IT), and should be concerned with aligning security measures with the business strategy.
The CISO should report to the board and the audit committee: "it's just (another aspect of) risk," said Phair at VMware's Evolve 2017 event in Melbourne yesterday, adding that strategy, risk and governance are the board's concerns.
The board needs to make decisions at a high level, eg "is gold-plated security appropriate?", although those in regulated industries may not have much choice. Then it is the CISO's job to explain what that actually means in terms of time and cost.
The performance of Australian organisations in this regard is "pretty hit and miss", Phair said, and it's not just about the size of the business. The big banks do it well, he said, but one ASX 200 company is not on top of IT security to the degree he expected.
Establishing the ROI for IT security investments "is tough," said Phair, "with physical security you've got something (tangible)."
"IT security is a business driver that adds value," he said, but the risks have to be managed.
The growing number of commercial-grade security conferences is a promising sign, he suggested, noting that vendors are throwing money into such events at a time when people want to learn about the issues.

I'd like to see a show of hands: How many have received a traffic ticket? Quite a few. How many contested the ticket in court? Not so many hands this time.
Entering a closed area of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) may get you a traffic ticket. The fine is $50, but by the time all the public agencies add their fees, it comes to $281. Ironically, the MROSD receives little, if any, of the fine (according to a ranger), which goes into the county general fund, to pay for a new courthouse, or whatever other use the county sees fit.
Our date with destiny took place on Oct. 28, 2012. On a beautiful warm fall day we four approached Loma Prieta Road from the southwest, taking the traditional route pioneered by Jobst Brandt in the late-1950s.
I noticed for the first time the new MROSD signs. We stopped to take photos at the base of Loma Prieta summit where we saw some youths tearing up the hillside in their 4-wheel drive truck. Later we saw an SUV with off-road motorbikes parked on the road.
At Mt. Umunhum Road we turned right to head down when we encountered about a dozen hikers being ticketed by several MROSD rangers and a county sheriff. One hiker, wanted on a parole violation, was handcuffed. So we joined the fun and got our tickets.
The hikers had unwittingly hiked up to the closed military base and were seen on camera. I'm told it's a private camera (probably McQueen family, based on this account and image from the other approach to Thayer) and not MROSD's. I don't know if they entered the base, but if they did it was a misdemeanor, which is a more serious offense than a traffic ticket.
We stood around and had a friendly talk with the MROSD rangers while Ranger Mike Perez wrote out the tickets. I was the only one without ID so he had to take my word that the information I provided was accurate. Mike became MROSD peace officer number 25 in 2006 and has a master's degree in U.S. colonial history. I figured him for ex-military based on his demeanor.
Once we had our tickets, we headed down Mt. Umunhum Road and home. I would prefer taking Loma Prieta the entire way, but it runs past the base, so Mt. Umunhum Road is the only other option.
Court appearance
I had never been to court, so I figured I should go through the motions, especially since the courthouse was only two miles from where I live and I'm paying for the privilege with my taxes.
I won't go into all the legal options, of which there are many, including filing a plea online. Back in the early 1980s you might have been able to write a letter and have a ticket dismissed (as I have done), but these days with so many people in the system, you're just a number. Get in line.
I showed up at court and sat right next to Officer Perez as we waited for the trial, but because he was wearing a suit and so was I, we didn't recognize one another! Otherwise I would have introduced myself and we could have had a friendly conversation.
While waiting in the court room I observed the routine. Judge Stephen Yep has a disarming way about him that puts people at ease. He quickly dismissed a couple of cases because the accusing officer did not show. A fine is dismissed when that happens.
My case came up and I stood in front of the judge at a podium, Officer Perez to my right. Perez started by describing what happened. Judge Yep asked me if what he said was accurate and I said yes.
I then told my side of the story, which was to argue that the road was public. The judge asked me a couple times if I had seen the MROSD signs, perhaps offering me an "out," but I was not there to avoid the fine. The judge did show some interest when I described Jobst Brandt's early day rides. He asked who he was, so I gave a little history. However, he wasn't interested in seeing photos I brought.
The judge then said that while he respected my right to exercise my constitutional rights, I was guilty. I had already paid the fine, so there was nothing more to do.
One other rider went to court a month later and had the same judge. Brian's fine was reduced to $150 and the judge twice told him that he could appeal. He said that a traffic court couldn't rule on his claim that the roads were public and/or county. He also asked the ranger if he thought that bikes were damaging the road, a question that Brian interpreted as the judge being puzzled as to why the roads have been closed for so long.
When I think about government, how it operates and what people expect from it, it raises a lot of philosophical issues about humankind and how we interact. More on that later…

The Gathering of Hosts (5 Kingdoms) Page
for more on the armies and wars of the Five Kingdoms.
Hard to believe but in 30 days it will be 6 years since I began this, my first blog (as opposed to website). My original mission statement still stands in broad terms though the result is now 5 smaller armies in 1 setting vs 2 and that setting is medieval/fantasy ve ancients but it is still based on a core of my original 25mm armies.
A glance at the posting totals for GofH shows that it has struggled for attention against the Battle Game of the Month with about 1/5th the number of posts, and initially, all the battle reports went there. I'm making some changes to my main blog and decided that its time to give myself a break and maintain a single blog plus pages.
|Work is about to get underway on the Army of the Northern Confederation. A mix of refurbished Minifigs from the original Valdurian army of the early '70s with Garrison and Prince August figures. Check gameofmonth.blogspot.ca for progress.
The idea is that each of my remaining collections will have a living page attached to the blog which will summarize the setting, perhaps with some potted history, and then go on to catalogue the armies as they grow. The Battlegame blog itself will still host battle reports, rules discussions, new figures and basically whatever I feel the urge to blog about.
This blog will be left available to anyone who wishes to browse the archives for as long as Blogger is willing to host it.

Quick note: This test is timed! You have N MINUTES to complete the test! All unanswered questions will be marked as incorrect. Good luck and godspeed!
Talk to us! Let us know how we did!
If you're aiming to become a Class B commercial driver in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island or anywhere else in Nebraska, we've got some good news for you! On this website you'll find an excellent CDL Class B practice test for Nebraska driving students, plus the answers to any questions you might have about the process of getting qualified. If you've settled on taking the Class B DMV permit test in Nebraska, you've probably already figured out it will enable you to drive most medium-weight commercial vehicles such as light school buses and box-trucks. Though you might be pleasantly surprised to find out that this license class will also qualify you to drive any smaller vehicles from the Class C category, without needing to take another practical driving exam! This is one of the reasons the Nebraska DMV test for a Class B license is so popular – it opens up a whole host of possible driving careers!
Before you can start taking driving lessons, you'll need to study for the CDL general knowledge DMV Nebraska permit test and book your exam at the nearest DMV test center. It will take a fair amount of preparation as this is an extensive exam which you'll need to pass with a score of 80 percent or higher. Fortunately, this general knowledge Class B license Nebraska practice test will help you move everything along quickly. Of course, the general knowledge exam is not the only written DMV test that Nebraska students must take if they're aiming for a Class B license. You will also need to take a minimum of one additional endorsement exam, possibly more, though this will depend on what driving job you're going for. Endorsements act like "add-ons" for your main commercial driving license; they evidence the fact that you have the specialist knowledge required for certain vehicles and occupations. For instance, if you were driving a vehicle which carries people, you would require a Passenger endorsement. At Class B, there is one mandatory DMV Nebraska test. This is the Air Brake endorsement exam and you'll need to take it to become Class B-qualified, as all vehicles within this class have air brakes.
This DMV CDL practice test for Nebraska does not contain any DMV test questions relating the Air Brake endorsement, or any of the other endorsement exams. Instead, it specifically targets the general knowledge exam, featuring questions on basic vehicle control, skid control and recovery, fires, emergency procedures, communicating, road signs, winter driving, hot weather driving and many other important topics which are relevant for all drivers. This means that our DMV permit practice test for Nebraska is not only suitable for Class B drivers – it also works if you're applying for Class C and Class A! If you're set on passing the CDL general knowledge exam first time, the ideal DMV test practice routine would combine study of the DMV handbook with this 2020 DMV practice test for Nebraska. That way, you'll get all the detailed information you need and be able to measure your progress as you go along.
You may be glad to know that our Nebraska CDL practice test for 2020 is not as time-consuming as the real exam. We've used totally authentic DMV test questions but shortened the overall quiz so that you can easily complete it in less than five minutes. As it's a free resource, you're welcome to use this DMV general knowledge practice test as many times as you like. Once you can easily score above 80 percent, try using our DMV cheat sheet or permit test Simulator next!

I wanted to post this the first week in December, as I hear this is a popular Danish holiday food. However, it turned out that making a stop motion animation super low-budget video is a lot more effort than one would think. I had fun with it though, I laughed out loud at how cheesy it was more than once. I do wish I had a better microphone, but I'm quite happy with the graphics. Yes, you heard me. I actually like how it turned out.
You will need an aebleskiver pan, and a pastry brush. You will need to know how to make clarified butter or ghee. You need a sourdough starter and if you don't have one yet, I had great results with the pineapple juice starter (scroll down for a day by day breakdown). You need to know how to fold egg whites into batter, and if you don't believe me about the necessity of whipping the egg whites, you should. Take a look at 2:30 on the same video, he'll show you. In aebleskiver, that puff on flipping the pancake translates into the aebleskiver becoming nice and round.
If you don't want to follow my recipe and would rather not do sourdough, there are plenty of recipes for aebleskiver online (or check out the book Ebelskivers by Kevin Crafts). You'll still need everything else but the starter though.
My recipe for aebleskiver (makes between 18 and 25 'skivers):
2 cups (500g) sourdough starter
2 eggs (separated)
1 tsp (7g) salt
1/2 cup (125g) water or milk (if using powdered milk add 1/8 cup or 15g powder)
2 Tbsp (30g) sugar
2 Tbsp (18g) oil, ghee, or bacon drippings (in addition to the ghee to oil the wells)
1 tsp baking soda
These really are a wonderful treat, I haven't yet found anyone who didn't prefer them to pancakes. They go fast, but if you wish to make a large amount of them, they do freeze well (or so I hear). I keep my extras in the refrigerator and warm them up at about 300°F in the oven, they don't hang around long enough to need freezing in this home.
This recipe is nothing more than my usual sourdough pancake recipe, but I do have a cookbook full of seriously tasty looking recipes (that I mentioned earlier). I've made a few of his recipes, including lemon poppy seed and peanut butter and jelly. The chocolate chip ones are good as well, though I found it works better to dump the chips in the center as a filling and not to mix them into the batter. One of these days I'll try more of his suggestions (especially garlic bread with a mozzarella filling and a mariana dipping sauce).
I've also seen recipes around the web that suggest fillings such as jam, flavored cream cheese, nutella, custard, and various berries. I've heard of people making muffins, cake or brownies in them as well, though I don't know if they used the stove top or the oven. I've heard that cake balls made in this pan are good to dip in icing.
You certainly don't have to just make aebleskiver in this skillet. This is what happens when you hand me two boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix. One of these days I'm going to make a more savory cornbread from scratch and make these filled with cheese. I've also heard of making popovers in this skillet, hush puppies, jalapeno poppers, crab cakes, salmon cakes, and meatballs. If the thought of meatballs appeals to you, try doing a search on kofta recipes (there are so many versions from various cultures, I just don't trust myself to pick one out for you!)
The list of other foods that can be made in this skillet is probably way beyond my ability to list. Perhaps if I was an avid student of worldwide culinary culture, I might be able to tell you more. For one thing, aebleskiver may be the same thing or just very similar to poffertjes, I'm not entirely sure.
When I purchased mine, I browsed through the comments on Amazon and quickly saw that several cultures have their own versions of round breads, often made in very similar pans. The Japanese have takoyaki (filled with octopus, tempura, pickled ginger, and green onion). The Vietnamese have bánh khọt, which isn't a round bread but can be made in this pan, and it looks like it would make an excellent appetizer that would serve as a conversation piece for us uncultured Americans, with rice flour, coconut milk, saffron, shrimp, pork, mung beans and a dipping sauce (here's another page with a different recipe that includes beer, and a video).
Thailand has kanom krok, which is a coconut bread with rice flour and may include onions, corn, or cilantro as a filling. Several Indian recipes include bonda (with black pepper and curry in the rice flour and dipped in a coconut chutney), ponganalu (filled with onions or corn and dipped in peanut chutney), and unni appam (which looks good and includes rice, banana, coconut, and sesame).
There is a Tamil (India, Sri Lanka, and South Asia) dish called kuzhi paniyaram that uses the same batter for dosa and idli, which is super fabulous news for me as my new copy of Wild Fermentation totally has this fermented lentil/rice batter given as a recipe, and a large part of my diet is already made up of lentils and rice. I already was thinking of making dosas soon, but knowing that I can use my nifty aebleskiver pan for my new fermented food kick is giving me quite a thrill. It's nice to be so easily entertained, it really is.
Plus, if you have a super fancy grocery budget (can I come over for dinner?) I hear that the escargot pans are similar (though usually made of copper). I hear you put butter and perhaps a bit of garlic in the wells and sautée the little snails. I've never tried them, but I tend to be fairly adventurous with my foods and would certainly like to sample the recipe, though I doubt it will be in my near future.
Anyway, as you can see, this pan is no more a "one trick gadget" than a muffin tin is. Sure, I mostly use my muffin tin for muffins, but I've also made potato stacks in them and I know there's a popular trend to use muffin tins for a variety of tiny casserole-type foods. And yes, I've only made aebleskiver and cornbread in my little skillet, but I know the potential is there to make more if I wish to break out of a culinary rut (and I so will be making trying that kuzhi paniyaram soon). Get you one of these pans, use it, enjoy it, and your family will thank you for it :).

Dream a little dream.........
All of us have a dream, I'm sure. Some of us have "big" dreams others have "small" dreams. I think my dream is neither.....it's a dream that has grown out of the desire in my heart for my daughter. You see I'm dreaming that sometime this year I can become an a stay at home mom. I've told a couple of friends and family this dream and I get either of these two reactions: " really? are you sure? don't you want to stay with the state and contribute to your retirement, you know the economy is not very good right now." OR i get...." wow! that's great! it's a BIG decision but one that will be worth while in the long run" I always thought if I EVER was blessed to become a mother I'd vow to be the BEST mom I could to MY child. Don't get me wrong I have NOTHING against working moms....hey I am one! But lately it's been tugging at my heartstrings to become a SAHM. I see Sofie growing up and every day she does something NEW...and I'm not there to see it first hand until I get home and the either Luke or the sitter tells me about it. Luke and I discussed me becoming SAHM mths before Sofie was born actually as soon as we found out it was a viable pregnancy and for all intent and purposes that all would turn out well in the end. I was a little hesitant to the idea at first only because I've been working since I was like 15. I enjoyed staying those 8plus weeks I had off for Maternity leave but I was also glad to be back at work. Then I went back to work and that first day was HELL. All my fellow co-worker moms told me " oh it gets better, yea you miss them at first but really you'll get over it..." guess what...........I'm not OVER it. I think I miss Sofie more today than that first day I dropped her off at daycare. Luke and I have thought how can we afford for one of us to stay home especially with his job being a little shaky. We've gone over our budget and after paying off some of the store credit cards, credit cards and our car we can manage w/his income alone....this fortunately can be done w/ some savings and income tax rebate. It will be tough but we can make ONLY if he doesn't get laid off like alot of his co-workers. We have thought of that as well and he's got a job lined up the only thing is it would take him out of town 5 days a week and we'd see him only the weekends. I don't know I feel silly even wanting to be a SAHM, but in my heart I feel it's the right thing for MY family. Luke also has been talking about going to night school and getting a daytime job elsewhere. I do have a way of making some money on the side while I stay at home...a friend of mine is due in May and will not be going back to work till after the end of July, she's been looking around at daycares but can't afford the 1200 plus that it costs and that was at a place that was the cheapest. so she's asked me if i can look after her son and she'd pay me about $700 and I'd have him from 6:30 till 2pm. It is a possibility I definitely would take but again it all rests on if Luke can secure a job by end of July. So till then I dream my dream...who knows maybe it will come true....I mean I did have a dream to become a mom and well we all know how well that ended. :)

2011 Report Card: Chauncey Billups
: Written by Jim Cavan : 05-30-2011 : 83 Comments
In a way, Chauncey Billups is a holdover from a bygone era. After the 2003-04 season — mere weeks after the Billups-led Pistons upended a fractious Lakers squad 4-1 in the Finals — the NBA rolled out rule changes that clamped down on what defenders could get away with, particularly on the perimeter. For bigger, more physical guards like Billups, that meant no more hand-checking to make up for a lack of lateral speed and quickness. In doing so, the league was paving the way for a new era of guard-friendly, higher scoring, and less physical play. Two Steve Nash …continue reading

Suitable for 3 to 5 year olds.
Is there enough spaces for my 3 year old daughter for tomorrow morning? Thanks
Hi I'm interested in bringing my 5yr old son to street dancing. Can we come this Saturday? If so doesn't he have to wear anything in particular? Thanks
Hi, my son is 3 and goes to the baby ballet class with Sadie every week. Would it be ok for him to also come along to the street dance starting from next Saturday (3rd Feb)?
Is it suitable for beginners as he hasn't done it before?
Thank you

PACT Records PACT1010
"Time defines the great ones"
Buy Dedicated To You. Jazz lovers, of all levels of sincerity, will cherish this record. The great ones know when not to play; throughout, Rudolph and his band (featuring J.D. Walter on vocals) aggressively pursue magical moments with discretion.
The impeccable timing of this album emerges with "Embraceable Evidence." Marko Marcinko's drumming poses an unorthodox opening to ensemble and improvisation inside of 90 seconds, and we know we are in for a swinging ride. J.D. Walter vocalizes under the piston fire of drums accents.
The record's title track arranges Walter's voice for maximum impact. In isolation, Walter's voice could be categorized as club fare. With Steve Rudolph at the keys, however, the music resounds with a class that reflects many years of considerate playing. Rudolph's quarter-note placement sets the table for a rambling of 88s that holds no key unturned. Steve Varner's bass solo sedates so that we feel awakened by Walter's vocal return. "Dedicated To You" fades on an instrumental question-and-answer foray that leaves us believing much more could come of this. To our delight, much more does. Vocals are mixed for aesthetic affect on "Just the Way You Look Tonight." Walter makes a wind sprint of expert improvisation. Band and singer feed off each other's ambitions and the invention sizzles. In this form, vocals contrast a rhythm foundation. The needs of the song outweigh the needs of the musicians. On "I Was Telling Her About You" Steve Rudolph's cascading keys nourish the soul like a candle that lights the face of a committed lover. "Things aren't always what they seem to be." Indeed. J. D. Walter and Steve Rudolph, in duet, arm the music with healing power. "My One And Only Love" hits us like a truck, but it feels good. Considering the many fatally blue versions of this song, Rudolph's high-speed blur makes comic effect of the tune's nostalgia. Before the laugh leaves us, however, we're spellbound by the band's will to again explore voice and rhythm at high intensity. "81" serves as a musical and holistic transition. The song opens on a funky groove that pays respect to jazz. The head bobs and hope rises with expertly executed crescendo. Solos by Varner and Marcinko highlight the wisdom of placing the record's only instrumental track here. The trio emerges from improvisation to a purely creative vibe. Our thrill is the ride. Rudolph's arrangement of "I Fall In Love Too Easily" seals the holistic value of the album. Although Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne are forever credited with the musical idea, Steve Rudolph solely possesses the integrity of this incarnation. For the first time, the band breathes in resonance. J.D. Walter's pastoral phrasing highlights the sheer beauty of this music. Rudolph, Walter, Varner, and Marcinko fundamentally grasp what works and when. Dedicated to You shows us how. What a power to have.
Review of JOE HUNT TRIO CD -DREAMBOXMEDIA 1067.
I'm Glad There is You/ Mr. Bim/ Solar/ Everything I Love/ I Hear a Rhapsody, Over the Rainbow/ Twelve Tone Tune Stars/ Three for BE/ The Sweetest Sounds I Ever Heard
Joe Hunt, d; Steve Rudolph, p; Steve Meashey, b
Saylorsburg, PA, Dec. 15-16 2002
Yes, that Joe Hunt from Stan Getz' group back in the '60s. Since then his appearances on disc have been infrequent and mostly out-of-the-way; it¹s a real pleasure to see him back in the studio. His new trio is unapologetically modeled after the classic Bill Evans trio, and the disc's program includes "Solar", "Gloria's Step", and "Twelve Tone Tune" from the Evans book, as well as an homage "Three for B. E.".
In the rather cramped liner notes is a description of pianist, Steve Rudolph as "an artist who projects strength and soul within a lyrical framework," whose "technical ability allows the music to speak to listeners without drawing attention to himself" - if so, he's failed, because this is playing of a caliber to turn heads. On up tempo tracks he is graceful without glibness, his lines so light and fleet they barely touch the ground; when he plays a ballad such as "Over the Rainbow", he is expressive but also bracingly clear-sighted and unsentimental. This is Evans with the pep and imagination still present, rather than the kind of innocuous redaction of his style one so often encounters among his followers. Rudolph, Hunt and bassist Meashey make this kind of jazz sound fresh and sometimes (on fast pieces like "Solar" and "The Sweetest Sounds I Ever Heard") genuinely exhilarating. It's a first rate disc, and deserves widespread attention among enthusiasts of the traditional piano trio.

Review of Christmas with the Steve Rudolph Trio RLCD1054
Pianist Steve Rudolph demonstrates that one needn't compromise one's aesthetic values when doing a Christmas album. Though the repertoire consists of the usual suspects of holiday pop songs and carols, Rudolph comes about as close to having a Christmas album with year 'round appeal as one can. (I happen to believe that's an impossible measure anyway.) It makes me curious to hear what he plays the other eleven months of the year.
Rudolph deftly reharmonizes the pieces here and establishes structures that support extended blowing. On the hard swinging "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" the harmonies shift between suspension and release. "We Three Kings" gets turned into a four-to-the-bar romp. But he doesn't always go against the grain of the tunes. On "O Come, O Come Emanuel" he extends and embellishes the somber mood of the original piece. Probably my favorite here Is the way he turns the stodgy "Silver Bells" into a hip waltz with some shifty harmonies.
He's well supported throughout. Langosch outlines Rudolph's quirky structures and makes them swing. Drummer Matt Wilson doesn't stint on the polyrhythms. Just because it's Christmas doesn't mean you can't wail, and that's just what Rudolph and company do, and that makes this session one of the best Jazz Christmas recordings to come my way.

Review: Steve Rudolph, "Everything I Love" R&LCD1049 (57:57)
I've never met Steve Rudolph but I have a hunch he's a personable guy with a penchant for contemplation. At least that's how he comes across in his playing on Everything I Love. The album has five Rudolph originals, plus tunes by Cole Porter, Bill Evans and Paul Desmond, among others. The technically adept Rudolph has broad command of his instrument and is good at capitalizing on its mode of nuance - like being both percussive and softly lyrical ("Estate'") or going for a lilting, glistening effect ("Three for B. E."). The bluesy "Back Home in Indiana" is progressive and pushes harmonic boundaries more than the rest of this repertoire. The full set is a mix of deft piano solos plus duets and trio work with Dwayne Dolphin, Roger Humphries and Steve Varner.
In Our Prime
Tom Strohman/Steve Rudolph Quartet | R&L Records
From western Pennsylvania comes a quartet of players who play with loose precision as they work their way through a set of familiar and original material. The result is what one might call sophisticated bop. There's plenty of improvising, expanding on the bop figures that were laid by the inventors of the style in the late 1940's with little agitation. Led by Tom Strohman on a variety of saxophones, the clarinet and flute and by the steady pianism of Steve Rudolph all buttressed by the strong foundation constructed by Steve Varner's bass, an hour of well conceived, cleanly executed arrangements are presented.
The album's kick off tune reveals the debt to that premiere jazz style as the group offers a scintillating run through of Rudolph's "T. C.'s" Tune. Old Devil Moon" is given a fresh up tempo, modern reading by the group. But like bop players of yore, this group is capable of more than playing fast and turning chords inside out. They record an out of the ordinary arrangement of Bobby Troup's "The Meaning of the Blues". Here, Rudolph is the inside man with his introspective piano, with Goodwin the outside man, knocking off rim shots and other percussive announcements. The arbitrator is Strohman's flighty flute leading the way in a lovely proclamation of a tune that has been done by Julie London to Miles Davis. The Strohman/Rudolph version need not take a back seat to any version. The album's coda is a fitting, lilting "Scherzo for Summertime" and like that time of year has a calm, relaxed way about it. This piece comes from Strohman's 14 year son, Greg.
In Our Prime should be welcomed by those who get their listening pleasures in small group jazz. This album indeed is prime stuff. Visit Steve at www.steverudolph. com.
Personnel: Tom Strohman - Soprano, Alto & Tenor Sax/Flute/Clarinet; Steve Rudolph - Piano/Korg 01W; Steve Varner - Acoustic & Electric Bass; Bill Goodwin - Drums/Percussion

During last month's frantic scramble to find a mysteriously disappearing Vladimir Putin, many Russia-watchers were forced to face the reality that one day Putin himself will not be head of the Russian state. That day may not be soon, but according to Ryan Steele, we should all be thinking about what form of government could … Continue reading

Putin in Dresden: a corrective
Yesterday the BBC broadcast a documentary exploring the time Russia's President Vladimir Putin spent in Dresden as an officer of the KGB. According to the writer, Chris Bowlby, this was "The Moment that Made Putin". Josh Black isn't so sure. In 1989, Vladimir Putin found himself powerless to defend the offices of the Soviet Union's … Continue reading
A ceasefire Ukraine will pay for
After nearly a month of intermittent violations, the Minsk ceasefire is starting to show results. Now it will become clear what its long-term implications are likely to be. Rehanna Jones argues that the ceasefire has imposed enormous costs on Kyiv, while absenting Russia from upholding its part the deal. "Tensions run high along ceasefire line", … Continue reading
How will Putin govern in the wake of the rouble crisis?
Too often, experts ask the question "who governs Russia", when they should be asking how the country is governed. Ryan Steele argues that by failing to understand the patterns in which Russia has been governed for centuries, we miss vital contexts to the power of Putinism. There are salient characteristics in the means by which … Continue reading
The instability in Ukraine is coming to Europe
Victor Orban's suggestion that Hungarians in Western Ukraine be given autonomy is unhelpful, but the real issue Ukraine faces is immigration. How many people leave Ukraine over the next few years could determine the success of the revolution, argues Josh Black. So far, the crisis in Eastern Ukraine has occupied the attention of journalists and … Continue reading
Putin Takes on Crimea, Ukraine and the West
On March 17, shortly after signing an agreement to add the Crimean Peninsula to the Russian Federation, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered an address to members of the Duma, Federal Council, other leading government officials and influential residents of Crimea.

On the situation in Ukraine
On 27 February, what are believed to be Russian special forces captured key buildings in the Crimean capital, Simferopol. Two days later, the Russian State Duma legitimised the use of Russian forces at the request of President Vladimir Putin, without limiting their movements to the peninsular. The power to invade Ukraine lies in the hands … Continue reading

Hello Everyone!
Hope you all have had a good week so far!
How has your day been?
Like usual I have been with Mod Dolly in London today but instead of being in the studio, we had a little outing in Notting Hill. We went to visit a boutique in Portobello Road. I have never been to Portobello Road before so it was nice to finally put an image to the name! It is a lovely area of London and we saw so many beautiful houses! Even managed to get a few outfit photo's with thanks to Paige! ;)
Anyway here is today's Wednesday Style, hope you like it! :)
You can view the items here -
Most of the items are from New Look but you can check by using the link above.
I have fallen in love with this outfit!
The printed shorts are from New Look and they are lovely! The colours and the intricate pattern looks really effective. Perfect for the summer months! :) The top is also from New Look and it is perfect for days out in the sun. It looks like a jersey fabric so I think it will keep you cool and comfortable. The good thing about this top, is that you could also dress it up by adding some black skinny jeans, heels and some jewellery.
I love the vintage style box bag! The bag is a lovely tan colour that I think brings out the colours in the shorts. I would love to own a bag like this, I have been searching for ages for a vintage one but I may give in and get this one from New Look.
I have recently brought a pair of tortoise shell sunglasses from Topman, for only £2!! All I thought when I saw them was 'Sod it, who cares that they are mens? They are £2!' To be honest I don't think you can tell the difference anyway! :)
What do you think about the outfit? What is your favourite item? I would love to know! Feel free to leave any comments below and I will reply as soon as I can! :)
Thank you so much for reading and I hope you liked it!
Have a nice evening!

Personalise a plate for mum with POSCA
It's Mother's Day in the UK on Sunday 31st March, so get your prep in early and personalise a plate for mum with POSCA paint markers for a very special creative gift.
We've used POSCA 3M markers in beautiful blue shades. The 3M markers' fine nib is great for precision drawing and mark-making. The colour consistency is so true and vibrant with these pens.
Water-based and non-toxic, POSCA paint pens dry opaque with a vibrant matte finish and solid colour. These essential paint markers are essential tools for up-cycle, art and craft projects. POSCAs work brilliantly on a range of surfaces including paper, card, glass, ceramic, fabric, wood and plastic making these pens ideal for the all-purpose crafting and great for handmade, personalised gifts.
This project is so easy and simply perfect for Mothering Sunday, and it's a great way to master your hand-lettering. You can also make matching cups, bowls and even a glassware!
Personalised Plate Step 1: Sketch out your text
Before you get started on your personalised plate. Make sure you clean the plate, removing any dust or grease as this will lift the paint off the surface. Now roughly draw your 'mum' text over the plate. Give this some extra flourish by adding curves on the end of your letters and coming in over the edges of your plate.
Handmade Personalised Plate Step 2: Embellish your lettering
Personalised Plate Step 3: Fill in your script
Now this is really simple. Just add lines around the outside of the letters on your personalised plate as shown, adding accents and curves as you connect the lines to the letter.
Simply fill in those lines to finish. And use a lighter colour to further embellish your personalised plate with a simple flowers. To make permanent just pop in the oven for 45 minutes at 160 degrees then finish with a clear varnish.
See how we made the plate ourselves in this super-quick how-to video…

Since Yahoo announced that they were shutting down Yahoo Maps, it was no surprise to hear that they are going to outsource the management of their Yahoo local listings. You will no longer go to Yahoo to manage your Yahoo listings! If you already have a free Yahoo business listing it looks like Yext is going to take it over soon.
Starting in November 2015, you will log into Yext to manage your Basic Yahoo Local Listing, which will continue to be free. You will of course have the option to upgrade to one of Yext's PowerListing packages but we are more focused on the free Yahoo listing.
Yahoo has sent out an email to all listing customers stating the following:
Yahoo has provided a helpful link with more information on what will be happening with Yahoo and Yext.
More Details
The help page mentions, "Access to Yext PowerListings and related products such as a Yahoo-only listing product will be available in October, 2015." This will be interesting to see.
You will be invited to log into Yext to start managing your Yahoo listings at some point in the near future.
Any changes that you make to your Yahoo listing on Yext should appear on Yahoo within 2 weeks of approval. But first it says, it has to be approved. Yext is going to implement a review process for any new listings and/or edits. Who knows how long that could take since they will have large amount of listing to review when they first launch.
What Are The Next Steps?
So for now there's nothing to do but wait for Yext to contact you with an email, inviting you to create a Yext account and verify your email address.
