Specialist Telehandler Training
We are Telehandler Training specialists who have provided telehandler training courses for thousands of people throughout the UK.
With trainers based throughout the UK we can offer competitive prices and in July 2024 are able to get costs to you very quickly.
Operating a telehandler in the most appropriate ground conditions is an important role on a construction site in July 2024. An experienced telehandler can earn a substantial salary which reflects the highly skilled nature of the job, along with a sense of responsibility when using your telehandler licence to secure work as a telehandler operator.
But what is a telehandler, and how can you train successfully across the UK in order to acquire a trained operator card?
We also provide Telehander Hire across the UK. For more information or to schedule your hire, check out our range on https://telehandler-hire.uk/.
We offer a number of great Telehandler Training services and are more than happy in assisting you on anything from price, to dates, to locations.
The average telehandler costs are around £75,000 to £90,000. Telehandlers with a capacity of 10,000 to 10,999 lbs will cost a little more ranging from £100,000 to £110,000. A telescopic forklift that can lift 11,000 to 20,999 pounds might cost you between £105,000 and £115,000.
A telehandler is a large piece of construction machinery, also known as a boom lift or a forklift. There are numerous different attachments that can be secured to the telehandler in order to safely operate the machine and tailor the telehandler to a specific task.
You may need to secure a winch, a bucket, or a basket onto the end of the machinery, depending upon the task at hand and the type of conditions you are working with.
A telescopic handler is an extremely large piece of machinery, offering 4-wheel steering as well as a 4-wheel drive, although the size of the telehandler itself can vary from as small as 4m up to an enormous 46m. You may be required to complete plant operations using a fixed cab, enabling you to lift, carry or move heavy loads whilst maintaining machine stability.
Alternatively, you may be required to operate a rotating cab depending on a particular load, a useful piece of machinery across a construction site.
To access a formal qualification through completing a CPCS telehandler course, use the contact form on this page and let us know your requirements, enabling you to secure telescopic handler practical training and achieve your blue CPCS competence card. No entry requirements are necessary to enrol in this course. You will then be able to begin your new career journey in a skilled and practical field after course completion. You can access the CPCS telehandler training course from numerous locations across the UK, from Kent to Gwent, and from West Lothian to Lancashire.
The CPCS telescopic handler course, or the Construction Plant Competence Scheme telescopic handler course, ensures that you pass the Health and Safety and the Environment Touchscreen Test to achieve your CPCS operator Card. There are three different categories to train in across 2 years, including the Industrial Telescopic category, the up to 9 meters category, and the all size category, ex. 360-degree slew and suspended loads.
Telehandler training inside of the telehandler training course covers basic construction and CPCS technical tests, covering routine servicing procedures as well as practical test regimes. The environment test and normal tasks decide the outcome of the training, although you can begin the telehandler training course with limited or no experience, partaking in practical exercises and a range of training courses.
When completing practical tests, testing courses invoke core skills and classroom-based teaching as well as technical tests whilst following the manufacturer's instructions in how to operate the machinery. In addition to the maintenance requirements involved, understand what to do if something goes wrong with the equipment.
Experienced operators will achieve their competent operator card once the course content has been fulfilled and they have completed the transport representative materials, understand the manufacturer's instructions, and the telescopic handler training.
At Telehandler Training, we can assist you on the best dates, locations and prices. Make sure you contact us today for a number of great Telehandler Training services.
No experience and no entry requirements are necessary to begin the telescopic handler course as we provide training to help you to achieve successful completion. Our training courses come complete with CPCS technical tests and practical test components as well as basic construction health and safety, helping to ensure that you pass your telehandler course and achieve your CPCS trained operator card.
Successful candidates who complete CPCS telescopic handler training and receive their CPCS trained operator card on completion of the course will be eligible for telehandler jobs in the construction sector.
Once enrolled in the telehandler course, you will learn the roles and responsibilities of the plant operator as well as safety checks and procedures to shut down and secure the machinery. You will also learn how to load the vehicle and remove loads, in addition to transportation procedures for the telehandler equipment itself.
You will also learn manufacturer's requirements as well as regulations and legislation information, ensuring that you learn all of the skills and knowledge required to become a successful telescopic handler. If you have previous experience working in the telehandler environment, you may be able to enrol in the Experienced courses, providing you have at least 2 years experience.
You will be able to enhance your skills and your employability as you progress through the construction sector in your working career.
The term "telehandler" is an abbreviated version of "telescopic handler." A telehandler is a lifting machine equipped with a telescopic boom fitted with a lifting attachment. The telehandler operator can raise or extend the boom when wearing a load, enabling the boom to function much like a lever.
Normally we find that the lifespan of a machine is between five to seven years before they refresh their fleet.
Telehandler are frequently used in agricultural and industrial operation. It is common for farm workers to equip the machine with a bucket or bucket grab to transport crops to and from areas that are inaccessible to wheel loaders and back hoe loaders. They can also be used to move lads to and from rooftops that are beyond the reach of height challenged lifting equipment.
A properly equipped telehandler can perform many of the same functions as a forklift, it can also act as a crane. The main difference between the two is the telehandler's telescoping capabilities that enable it to operate at greater heights than a forklift. The lifting capacity decreases as the boom is extended higher due to the reduction in the machine's stability.
The term ticket refers to the operator card or license that is required in some countries to operate a telehandler.

Before the rains and snows of January and February come roaring through, it is time to winterize your outdoor fire pit by following these helpful hints. These tips will help protect your investment, make the first fire of the spring so much easier and ensure that your gatherings with family and friends will be much more enjoyable.
1. For wood burning pits or rings, clean out any residual ash and wood. Make it easy on yourself by using a garage vacuum. Bag the ashes separately and dispose. For gas burning fire pits, turn off the gas. If you are using a 20 lb Propane Cylinder, uncouple the supply and take the cylinder indoors to the garage.
2. If you have a grate in the pit, examine it for wear. If it has passed it's use by date then replace it. If not, treat the grate with high temperature spray paint or consider powder coating the grate.
3. Examine the spark guard that you use. If it is not intact with holes in the mesh then replace it. If the mesh is still intact, then treat with high temperature paint or consider powder coating. You will need to put the spark guard back on the pit before you put the weather proof cover over the fire pit, but more of that later.
4. Ensure that there is still adequate drainage at the bottom of the pit. A drainage pipe of minimum 1/2″ diameter is required. Test to see how long a gallon of water drains from your fire pit.
5. It is essential to ensure the cover will not allow rain or snow to pond on the top of the pit. If you have a spark guard place it on the top of the pit to support the pit cover. If not you need to create a tent pole structure. The best material to use is 1″ – 1 1 /2 Inch plastic water pipe with plastic bends and "T" fittings. This is lightweight and rigid. For larger fire pits use the larger water pipe.
6. If you do not have a pit cover already, a cheap solution is to buy a blue tarp from any neighborhood hardware store. Lay the tarp over the raised spark guard or structure and trim so that the tarp extends 4″ below the edge of the capping stone. Using a tarp grommet repair kit ($7.00), punch as many holes as required for your shape and size of fire pit [example 6 grommets for round and so on]. Hook a Spring Hook Carabiner in each of the grommet holes ready to take the tie down weight. Tie down weights can be easily made from 2 liter soda bottles filled with sand. With heavy duty twine create a loop around the neck of the soda bottle. Hang a bottle on each Spring Hook. It is recommended that two people do this hanging a bottle on opposite grommet holes at the same time. This will keep the tarp in place while you complete the covering of the pit. These weights should be sufficient in most areas but to be safe, use a tie down around the fire pit.

"I think the best compliment is respect and for people to call me a warrior; not a winner, but a warrior. That's more important for me." - Gilbert Melendez
Finally, "El Niño" is entering the UFC at the top, where he's always belonged.
It's been a long, long time in the making, but Gilbert Melendez is debuting inside the Octagon in the UFC on FOX 7 main event this Saturday, fighting Benson Henderson for the UFC lightweight championship. This momentous occasion for MMA fans could have or should have happened in 2004 after Melendez won the WEC lightweight title or 2006 when he won the Strikeforce lightweight strap or at any point post-2009, as "El Niño" has blown through Strikeforce's competition as their seven win streak owning two-time lightweight champ. Arguably the most decorated, accomplished, exciting, and winningest MMA fighter over the past decade to not step foot inside the Octagon is Melendez and, finally, that wrong is being unwritten.
While, Melendez could easily point to the glittery gold belts that adorn his sparkling record as reason enough for fans to stand and cheer for him, he is a proud fighter first and a consummate winner second. On April 20th, with the world watching and the UFC's lightweight title on the line, he will walk to the Octagon to get into a fist fight.
"I think sometimes it's more important than winning to show that you're a warrior," asserts Melendez. "I'm definitely a proud American, but I'm Mexican-American and I have that Mexican blood. You put your life on the line out there, you put your heart on the line out there, and you really fight. A fight's a fight. It's not a point match. I want people to see that I'm a warrior. I think the best compliment is respect and for people to call me a warrior; not a winner, but a warrior. That's more important for me. I hope people get that from me after this fight."
At 31 years old with 21-2 pro career, the fourth and final horseman of Cesar Gracie's Skrap Pack is joining the UFC's ranks after ten years of battling for belts the world over. A lifetime ago, Melendez grew up in Santa Ana, California, where he wrestled in high school and, eventually, began attending San Francisco State University with aspirations of becoming a teacher and a wrestling coach. It was friend, SF State University alum, and fellow UFC fighter Jake Shields who threw the biggest monkey wrench into that perfectly acceptable plan by introducing Melendez to MMA. As they say, the rest is history; "El Niño" was born, becoming a featured member of Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu's fearsome foursome of Melendez, Shields, Nick and Nate Diaz.
"We all basically started off as white belts together," tells Melendez. "We are not a made up team where we grab stars and put them together and just decide to come over for a training camp. We're grass roots. I drove my white Ford Tempo and Nate would cruise in with his Focus with a bullet hole in it. We came up together like that. Jake with his f'ed up car. It's hilarious, this journey we had. I'm so proud of my team and so proud to be a part of it. We know what we're fighting for. We fight for ourselves, our team, each other, and to challenge ourselves. We like to do it our way. It's a great team to be a part of. People are trying to call us failures right now, and I've been saying that people have no idea what we've accomplished and how hard it is to get to this level. There's a lot of pressure out there. But I'm not done. I don't think any of us are done right now. I think we still want more. I think we all want that UFC strap."
The combined record of the original 209 Stockton crew is 90-25-1, 2 NC with three Strikeforce titles, two WEC belts, four UFC title shots earned, and numerous awards and straps from smaller organizations. While a five round, headlining clash with Henderson to determine who is the unquestionable best at 155 pounds is more than enough pressure for any fighter, Melendez has a wealth of experience triumphantly tangling with the division's top talent, and he has done that in Japan as well as his home-state of California. For those who are strictly Octagon enthusiasts, Melendez may be an unknown, but make no mistake, he has been championship material for a long time and will look to solidify that in his first UFC appearance.
"I'm happy that when the common person asks me, 'hey, do you fight in the UFC?' I can now say, 'Yes!'" says Melendez. "That's actually a big plus. I hate having to explain the whole Strikeforce thing and people thinking I'm in the minor leagues. It has set in, but you never know until you get there. Maybe it will set in more once I get there and I'm walking around, but it's just another fight to me. I've fought in rings, I've fought in Japan, I've fought and beat the Shooto champ, I've beat the DREAM champ, I was the first WEC champ, I've fought in Hawaii, I've fought with knees to the head - I've done it all. This is just a different place and a different belt and a different opportunity for me and I see it as another person standing across the cage from me. It's set in. I am happy to say I'm a UFC fighter though."
It has been almost a year since Melendez added his last W to his record, as he victoriously finished his tremendous title trilogy with Josh Thomson in May. At their first meeting in 2008, Thomson took a unanimous decision over Melendez and the belt, which sparked a change in "El Niño". Following that loss, Melendez started his own gym, El Niño MMA in San Francisco, which began as a loft and has ballooned into a 7,000 square foot home away from home with 275 students, coaches like Shields and striking coach Jongsanan "The Wooden Man", and open mats for him to train full-time. Riding a seven fight win streak featuring three TKOs, Melendez is healthy and ready to take on the UFC's elite.
"I kind of reinvented myself," explains Melendez. "There was a point where I was 13-0, 15-0 with my two amateur fights, and I was ranked at the top in the world and kind of reached my goals and the UFC buys out PRIDE and things go for a curveball again. You're on the shelf for a while and then you're in Strikeforce and you kind of lose motivation and then someone kicks your ass like Josh Thomson and you reinvent yourself. You realize this is going to be your career. I've really taken the sport serious since that. I take pride in my seven fight win streak. I can't always guarantee a win, but I can always guarantee I'm going to come in to a fight pretty well-prepared. When I come into a fight really well-prepared, I'm an animal. When I come in dang-prepared, I'm still an animal. I just take pride in performing."
Up next for Melendez is the UFC championship collision with Henderson at UFC on FOX in San Jose. "I mean jeez, he's the UFC champ, what can I say - he's amazing," admits Melendez of his 18-2 opponent, who most recently fought a near flawless performance against Melendez's teammate Diaz in December. "He's an amazing athlete, big, strong, great tactics, good transitions, he's got great grappling and submissions, and he's mentally strong. Obviously, 'watch out for his kicks, Gil;' everyone tells me that. He's the UFC champ, what can I say, dude."
One can easily sell this bout's emotional edge between Melendez and Henderson because of the Diaz fight, but that's oversimplifying the significance of this matchup. "I did want to fight him that night, that's for sure, but I'm doing this for myself and it would make it that much better to avenge my friend in the process and bring the title back for my team," reveals Melendez. But the draw of this main event is the UFC's current lightweight boss sharing the cage with one of the perennially toughest 155ers on the planet who ruled the roost of the rival Strikeforce for years.
This Saturday, debuting Strikeforce lightweight king Melendez tangles with UFC lightweight champ Henderson. With the added Strikeforce chip on his shoulder and looking to redeem his teammate, Melendez's usual fists of fury will be downright terrifying as "El Niño" prepares to storm Henderson inside the Octagon. It's champion vs. champion with Henderson's belt on the line in Melendez's home arena and both are looking to earn each other's respect.
"I kind of live by the motto of kill or be killed," states Melendez. "I go in there thinking I have to kill this guy or he's going to kill me. People can talk about good sportsmanship all they want, and I am a good sport, but the truth is is that this guy in there wants to beat me and wants to hurt me. The truth is, I want to do the same to him. Call me a bad guy, but, at that moment, he's my enemy and I have to destroy him. That's just my mentality. Afterward, we can be cool and whatever you want. But don't shake my hand or high five me when we're in there. I come in there with bad intentions, I'm sorry. Don't be mad, that's just how it is."
This Saturday, UFC fans will finally know Melendez; with a win, they'll never forget him.

Potential reduction in life expectancy (long-term exposure)
no reduction
With sustained exposure PM2.5 Calculating Life Years Lost Per Person. The AQLI estimates the relationship between air pollution and life expectancy, allowing users to view the gain in life expectancy they could experience if their community met World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, national standards or some other standard.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is used for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The AQI focuses on health effects you may experience within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect public health.
Statistics AQI

WHO guideline (daily): 15 µg/m³ PM2.5 are air pollutants with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers. Particulate matter (PM) is a common proxy indicator for air pollution. There is strong evidence for the negative health impacts associated with exposure to this pollutant. The major components of PM are sulfates, nitrates, ammonia, sodium chloride, black carbon, mineral dust and water.

Another priority of the president's that's likely to come up tonight is an immigration overhaul. The Senate last year passed a comprehensive bipartisan bill that promise eventual citizenship for millions currently in the country without legal status. While House leaders don't appear ready to go that far, they do seem ready to start a conversation.
And joining me from the Capitol is NPR congressional correspondent David Welna. And, David, a lot of people thought revamping immigration wasn't going to happen at all, especially during this election year with a Republican-run House. What's happened to change that?
DAVID WELNA, BYLINE: Well, Audie, I think with House Republicans, it's really been more a matter of when, not if they're going to do something on immigration. Their biggest concern is not hurting their members by bringing up this divisive issue and seeing it used by primary challengers against them. So last year was not a good time to do this. But this year, especially once the primaries have taken place, might be a safer bet because I think House Speaker John Boehner truly does want to do something on immigration.
He's well aware that his party has turned off most Latino voters, and Boehner recently hired an immigration expert as a top adviser. And this week, he plans to present some ideas about what to do on immigration at a House Republican retreat on Maryland's eastern shore. Here's what Boehner had to say about that today when asked by reporters.
REPRESENTATIVE JOHN BOEHNER: We're going to outline our standards, principles of immigration reform and have a conversation with our members. And once that conversation is over, we've got a better feel for what members have in mind.
WELNA: Boehner also said he'll have more to say on how House Republicans might be moving forward on immigration once those conversations do take place. I think he's kind of testing the political waters here before jumping in.
CORNISH: And the House Speaker referred to immigration principles being presented to the House Republicans. What exactly are those principles?
WELNA: Well, they haven't yet been made public. But according to those who've seen them, they boil down to four areas: securing the border more effectively, expanding the number of visas for skilled and unskilled foreign workers, better enforcement of the E-Verify screening system that checks to see if job applicants have legal status to work. And finally, and probably most importantly, what to do about the 11 million immigrants who are in the country now with no legal status.
Republican leaders seem to be leaning now towards some path to legalization for these people but not the citizenship approved by the Senate. But House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has also been working with Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte on a measure that would allow children brought here illegally by their parents to attain citizenship. I talked with Cantor this afternoon.
REPRESENTATIVE ERIC CANTOR: Our country has never held kids liable for the illegal acts of their parents. And I've been working with Chairman Goodlatte to see how we can craft a measure that really speaks to that issue.
WELNA: But Cantor did not offer any details about when or how citizenship might become available to those who came as children.
CORNISH: David, how is this all being received by long-time opponents of more lenient immigration rules?
WELNA: Well, Audie, they are not at all happy about this. I think they see it as a capitulation to pressure from outside groups and Democrats, and a lot of them see it as just another form of amnesty. Here's what Louie Gohmert, a conservative from East Texas, said to me today about all the talk of taking up an immigration overhaul.
REPRESENTATIVE LOUIE GOHMERT: We need to wait for the president to secure the border as confirmed by the border states. And as soon as he'll do that, I guarantee you, we will get a deal worked out very quickly. But until he does that, we shouldn't even talk about it.
WELNA: And it's talk like that that makes a lot of Republicans wary about even trying to do immigration this year lest it splinter the party before the midterm elections.
CORNISH: So what are the prospects, really, that they'll act this year?
WELNA: Well, I'd say the prospects are good that the House will try to act. The big question is whether Republican leaders can find enough Democrats to make up for members of their own party who aren't onboard like Louie Gohmert.
CORNISH: That's NPR congressional correspondent David Welna. David, thank you.
WELNA: You're welcome, Audie. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Just Call Me Butter, Because I'm on a Roll
Beneath the photo, you'll see a link to the written recipe on my American Food site, where the recipes are also being published. Since I'll be doing so many recipes, I'll also be posting a couple videos a week from the collection, but I really want to know if the instructions in the recipes work even without seeing them.
Click here to try this Classic Dinner Rolls Recipe. Please report back! Thanks and enjoy!

Happy to help, is there a preferred means of reporting back or should we just post in the comments??
- December 27, 2009 at 5:12 PM
One comment on the rolls recipe--people who aren't familiar with yeast won't know what "warm" is for the temperature to dissolve the yeast, so "lukewarm" or provide a temperature (110°F-115°F.

Thanks, good point. Yes, comments or I can also include an email. firstname.lastname@example.com
- December 27, 2009 at 6:27 PM
About the dry yeast. Is it the equivalent of 50gram of fresh yeast ?
- December 27, 2009 at 8:30 PM
- Chef John said...
not sure, ive only used the dry packets. should be online though
- December 27, 2009 at 8:58 PM
But, that would mean we'd actually have to follow a recipe rather than consider it 'suggestions' for how to make a dish:)
- December 27, 2009 at 10:39 PM
- Chef John said...
yes, that would be my suggestion ;-)

Hey John! Can't wait to try this recipe, it looks awesome - I can just imagine how these rolls must melt in your mouth. I will give you a full report. Hope you had a great holiday!
- December 27, 2009 at 11:23 PM
"Combine milk, butter, sugar, honey, and salt in another glass or plastic bowl" makes it sound like it was necessary that the first bowl with the yeast mixture was glass or plastic as well.

I will make them, but I will use my mixer to mix them, I don't mix by hand. I always mix with my Kitchen Aid beater hook.

These rolls are gorgeous and the recipe seems simple enough to follow.
I just started working with yeast and will be making my first loaf of bread next week, but so far I have made danish, croissant and cinnamon buns and they all turned out great and it was my first time making them. Now I will add these rolls to my list of things to make. Thanks
Goodluck with your cook book.

I make bread all the time. I haven't made this particular recipe (yet!), but I read through it. Two comments:
1. Include the amount of yeast (2 1/4 t.) along with saying 1 packet. Some of us don't buy yeast in packets because it's cheaper by the jar or bag.
2. When dividing the dough into 16 equal portions, it would be helpful if you gave the weight. Granted a person could just weigh the whole batch and divide by 16 to get the weight, but it's just something I've seen in other recipes that I find helpful.
I'm excited to see your book when it's published! Maybe you could offer some signed copies through your blog. ;) - December 28, 2009 at 6:27 AM
- Luatica said...
I did this recipe a while ago, and I recall I had to add way more flour, but it might be more related to AP flour quite likely having different strenghts in different countries.
- December 28, 2009 at 10:43 AM
- Chef John said...
Thanks for all the tips, everyone!

I followed the recipe as written.
It reached the point about two minutes into kneading...so I stopped there and put it into a glass bowl with canola cooking spray instead of oil.
It did not rise much after 1-1/2 hours.
I cut the dough up by taking the ball and cutting it in half, in half, in half, in half..easier than "make a square, etc."
After 40 minutes, I threw it in the oven - then the transformation occurred.
Wow, my wife dug into those tasty, fluffy rolls immediately...I had to have one too...
After 20 minutes they were even better.
Thanks Chef!
How do I post a picture???

I'm a new devotee to your site and I'm not quite sure what "punch down the dough" means--you might have gone over it before. Also, the prep time is listed as 2 hours but you have the dough rising the first time for 1.5 hours and the second time for 40 minutes. There is also all the work you have in between; so the prep seems more like 2.5-3 hours.
Looks great, though, like everything you do. - December 28, 2009 at 9:04 PM

Speaking of coincidences, I wanted to make dinner rolls to go with turkey pot pie tonight for supper but couldn't find the copy of this recipe I had printed before. I knew it was from Foodwishes so I was going to search your site for it. Look at that, todays blog, the very thing I was looking for. Made it, ate it, great as always.

I suck at following written recipes. Watching videos has been a major breakthrough for me. I am sure when I try to follow your recipe I will be visualizing you doing your thing. You can put a tips column or chapter and add the following tip: lukewarm water = 1 part boiling water + 2 parts tap water. Always perfect for me. Also oven light provides good warmth for rising/proofing.
- December 29, 2009 at 6:44 AM
I am horrible at making bread, usually it turns in to a rock. But this recipe was very user friendly and my bread rolls turned out delicious. One suggestion for this recipe is instead of using temperatures for the warm water just say as warm as bath water, for not all of us has a magical thermometer up our sleeves.
- December 29, 2009 at 5:01 PM
- Chef John said...
Thanks everyone!! Please go to the recipe page on About and leave a review (5 star I hope!) if you made the recipe and it came out well. Thanks!
- December 29, 2009 at 8:20 PM
- Connie T. said...
I made your recipe on these rolls.
I put up a picture of them on my blog.
It is probably my oven...they came out a little hard. But they were good. It is really, really cold here though, maybe that has something to do with it. - January 5, 2010 at 12:34 AM
- Chef John said...
thanks connie!
- January 5, 2010 at 12:46 AM
- ChefJohnsBiggestFan said...
sadly after bragging on facebook about how i was making homemade dinner rolls they ended up being hard little potential weapons. I think my yeast was old because i didn't get a whole lot of rise. The bottoms got real hard (imagine concrete) and the whole roll itself was a hard spongey on the inside. Was really sad. on a happy note, the sloppy Johns were GREAT
- January 10, 2012 at 9:15 PM
- Valerie said...
1) Would this be the recipe to use for the dough part if I want attempt cinnamon rolls?
2) can I convert most bread recipes that list "cup" into weighing out 4oz
Thanks so much! - March 9, 2012 at 9:39 AM
- Chef John said...
You could use for cin rolls. Would be more like 4.25 or 4.5.
- March 9, 2012 at 11:38 AM
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. The exterior is a bit tough. Second, the bread is not sweet like butter rolls. Last, not sure if this is relevant, but my dough rises really quickly. Is it necessary to wait the entire 1.5 hours?
Thanks - July 15, 2012 at 8:37 PM
- Chef John said...
No, once it doubles, you can proceed. On the other issues, I'm not sure. This is not a sweet roll. You can always add sugar if u want.
- July 15, 2012 at 9:02 PM
- Tricia said...
This recipe is amazing! It's beautiful and sooo delicious! Hands down the best dinner roll I have ever tasted. Thank you so much Chef John! - July 8, 2013 at 7:13 AM

The company produced both inexpensive pressed wares and more costly thrown art pottery. Bretby stayed in the hands of the Tooth family until 1933, and after the second World War became known as Tooth and Company Limited Bretby Art Pottery.
Marks include the familiar rising sun over the name BRETBY, a stylized HT for Henry Tooth, and the brand names Clanta and Clanta Ware.

Eyebrows and Eyelashes
Our eyebrows and eyelashes aren't just there for decoration.
They're not even just there for helping us make different facial expressions or to make our eyes stand out. They're actually the first line of defense our eyes have against airborne contaminants and other hazards.
How Eyelashes Protect Our Eyes
It might seem weird to think of eyelashes as anything but decorative, and while they certainly are beautiful, they're also doing a lot of work to keep dust, debris, and dirt in the air from reaching our eyes. When we close our eyes, our eyelashes form an impenetrable barrier against these irritants. They're also highly sensitive, triggering a blinking reflex when touched so that an incoming foreign object won't get closer to the eye itself. That's why it can be so hard to keep your eyes open while applying eye makeup!
Our eyelashes are just the right length and thickness to keep dust out of our eyes and help them to not dry out too quickly. Wearing false lashes can actually throw off these important functions, increasing the risk of dry eye and dust exposure. Some people may have allergic reactions to the false lashes or even get an eye infection. Cosmetic solutions like eyelash extensions also carry the risk of temporary or permanent loss of eyelashes.
The Function of Eyebrows
Because eyelashes are so close to the surface of our eyes, it's easy to see how they protect them, but eyebrows are much farther away. What can they really do? In fact, eyebrows help to channel liquid away from our eyes and down the sides of our faces, whether that's sweat or raindrops or something else. The angle the individual hairs grow and the arching shape of the brows are all part of this.
Just as cosmetically enhancing our eyelashes can interfere with their protective function, overplucking our eyebrows can make them worse at their job. That's why we hope the trend of bold, thick eyebrows is here to stay!
Bring Us Your Eye Concerns, Including Brows and Lashes
As long as we aren't overdoing it with plucking and eye makeup, our eyebrows and eyelashes will usually stay pretty healthy on their own. However, they can develop problems like inflammation, ingrown hairs, and hair loss. If this happens to you, we can help! We'll take a look and help discover the cause of the problem, recommend treatment if necessary, and make a plan to prevent it from recurring.

Consider these tips in order to send or receive payment safely.
Know the vehicle's market value
Be very suspicious of any vehicle priced significantly below market value. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Confirm contact information
Verify the seller's physical address and phone number BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT. Zip codes, area codes and addresses should match up.
Use email wisely
Do not send personal or financial information (such as your social security number, credit card number or checking account number) to a seller via email. Email communications are not secure.
Do not use money transfer services, such as Western Union to pay for online purchases
Even Western Union recommends against using their service or similar services to pay for online purchases. Be cautious about any seller who will only accept a money transfer.
If using an escrow service for payment, make sure it is a reputable, valid escrow service
Some buyers, purchasing outside their local area, may consider using an escrow service. If so, make sure it is a legitimate service. Go directly to the website of the escrow service. Do NOT go to an escrow service through a link in the seller's e-mail or use a service based on a referral from the seller. Check the web address to make sure you are at the valid website.
Get a detailed receipt
Ask the seller for a receipt that states whether the Airstream is being sold with a warranty or "as is."
Get title to the vehicle
Make sure you know what's required in your state to transfer title to the vehicle you're buying.
Confirm contact information
Be wary of buyers willing to purchase your item sight-unseen, especially buyers located overseas. Always verify the buyer's street address and valid phone number.
Verify that a certified check is genuine
Verify authenticity with the issuing bank prior to depositing a certified check. Make sure the account contains sufficient funds and the issuing bank guarantees payment on the check. Once deposited in your account, it may take a week or more for the check to clear. Acceptance by your bank does not guarantee the check is valid and funds are available. A cashier's check can take 30 days or more to clear.
Secure payment first
Do not transfer the title until you have payment in hand at the agreed upon price (and you have verified that the payment is valid.
Beware of overpayment or other complicated payment schemes
Do not agree to any plan where the buyer asks to send a check for more than the sale price and requests that the seller refund the difference. Be suspicious of any buyer who proposes making payment through a friend or agent of the buyer.
File a report. File a report at www.ic3.gov with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Administration (BJA). IC3 gives victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism. IC3 in turn alerts authorities by referring reports to the correct law enforcement or regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level.
Let us know about it. If you receive a suspicious email, report it to Trader Interactive immediately. Forward the email to [email protected] Do not change the subject line or send it as an attachment. Simply forward the suspicious email message to us. We will contact you if we need additional information.

Welcome to the March Carnival of Natural Parenting: Natural Parenting Top 10 Lists
This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Hobo Mama and Code Name: Mama. This month our participants have shared Top 10 lists on a wide variety of aspects of attachment parenting and natural living. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
Top 10 reasons to choose midwifery care
Oh, I know, I've been complaining recently about some comments my current midwife made, but I'm allowed to think midwives are still pretty swell. I truly am happy to be under midwifery care again rather than under the auspices of an obstetrician for this pregnancy and birth.
I want to write this post not because I think everyone can or should choose midwifery care, but just to put out what I feel are my top reasons for doing so, and why it might also be a good choice for you to consider if you're in a low-risk pregnancy (which is most pregnancies, fortunately).
I should be clear that I live in the United States in Washington state, so the midwives I'm talking about are independent licensed midwives (LMs, also called CPMs for certified professional midwives) who do not work in hospital institutions and instead offer only birth center and home births. I'm not going to talk about midwifery care in other countries and states, not because I'm unaware of some of the differences but because I'm not qualified to speak knowledgeably. Also: Not all midwives are created equal (same with physicians); I fully realize some pregnancies and births require a more intense level of medical care; and this is not intended as some sort of bashing of other choices. These are simply my generalizations from one and a half pregnancies and one birth (so far) with two different sets of midwives.
With Mikko, I saw midwives throughout the pregnancy and had planned a home birth but ended up transferring to a hospital after 39 hours of labor, at which point my midwife and the student midwives with her moved into the role of doula and I still had my natural birth a few hours later, but in a different location. This pregnancy, so far so good — we're seeing a midwife (a different one this time, because our previous midwives are on an extended break — one of them decided to have a baby, if you can believe it) and planning a home birth that will hopefully stay at home this time.
1. Midwives treat you like a person first.
Midwives don't see pregnancy as a disease, so they don't see you as a problem to be solved or managed. They want to know your particular history and story, and they listen honestly and respectfully to your plans for pregnancy and birthing — not paying lip service to birth plans but truly considering any requests and requirements you have, and talking with you forthrightly about what they in turn feel comfortable with. I was afraid I'd be laughed at for wanting to do Hypnobabies and a water birth – no problem with midwives!2. Midwives let you keep your clothes on.
For the initial consultation part of a visit, at least. There's no shuffling you off to a cold, sterile examination room by a nurse to put on a paper robe. Midwives personally greet you in a home-like office and wave you in for a comfortable seat to begin chatting. Midwives don't mind if you bring along your partner and your other children, because this is a family practice, and every member of the family has a voice. When it's time for an exam that does require any sort of nudity, you have your choice of how bare you want to be, and who remains in the room with you. One thing I really appreciated about my midwives' vaginal exams was that they were very cautious in how they approached it, giving you time to relax and adapt. They would tell you what was happening at every step, and they would touch your thigh first, telling you they were going to. Then they would gradually tap their way inward, so it wasn't a surprise that made you tense up. I thought that was so respectful, especially considering how many women I know who have trouble with pelvic exams due to discomfort and even distress over possible rough treatment.3. Midwives give you more time. Lots more.
I've been steamed in the past to wait an hour and a half in a doctor's waiting room only to be granted a mere five minutes in the physician's august presence — and then billed 100 bucks for the privilege. My midwife visits last at least half an hour up to a full hour. You don't have to wait until your (or your doctor's) hand is on the doorknob to bring up the important points you wanted to ask, because everything you wanted to say will have plenty of opportunity to come out. I had a dermatologist who supposedly listened while I told him which acne drugs I was resistant to — and who then handed me an illegibly scrawled prescription that turned out to be for precisely that family of drugs. Midwives do you the courtesy of actually listening to you.4. Midwives are cheaper.
This is true whether you have insurance or not, or whether or not your insurance covers midwifery care (though it's a shame if it doesn't). The midwives in our area charge about $2,000 cash for everything: prenatal office visits, home visits, birthing, postpartum care. Get a doctor or hospital to agree to that price! I realize midwives charge more or less in other areas, but I doubt any charge as much as a typical OB-attended pregnancy and birth — to say nothing of hospital stays and the prices of any interventions that are more likely to occur in a hospital setting. Our insurance does cover midwifery care, so I figure the insurance company is getting quite a bargain out of my choice. Along similar lines, I found I was able to control the cost of tests with midwives, since they would gladly answer any questions I had about the price of tests and procedures that were offered and were upfront about their own fees. Almost every doctor or hospital I've asked about the price of something has looked at me as if I had two heads — did they find it offensive that I brought up something as low-class as how much things cost, or did they simply have no idea because they never had to care? I left my gynecologist after she did an expensive STD test on me without my knowledge or consent — and I was stuck with the bill.5. Midwives still make house calls.
It's true! My midwives last time (they were a partnership) each made a visit to our house in my third trimester to make sure they could find it for the homebirth. (Good thing, too, since one did take the wrong exit and got lost on the way!) One of them came over after the birth, too, to see how we were settling in and to help with breastfeeding initiation. And, obviously, if you're having a homebirth, they come to your home at any time of day or night and stay as long as they're needed!6. Midwives believe in informed consent.
Midwives don't force you into "routine" tests and procedures. They give you verbal and written information about any choices you have to make, present their views — and then leave it to you to make the decision, as the patient or as the parent of the patient. Compare this with the fight I had with about ten nurses in the hospital over not giving my newborn the hep B shot, even though it was written in my chart; not only did they not explain the pros and cons of giving the vaccine to a baby, but they presented it in such a way that I was supposed to feel pressured into accepting. Good thing my midwife was still around to fend them off for me!7. Midwives want you to have a healthy, natural birth.
If you have a dream of a low-intervention, gentle birth, midwives are for you, because they want the same thing. They are trained and have experience in techniques for getting you calmly through labor, without a lot of interference. They can suggest different positions and motions to try. That said, the "healthy" part of my subhead? That's important, too. Far from being recklessly bent on a natural-birth-or-nothing approach, midwives are interested in the same results anyone wants: healthy mother and healthy child.8. Midwives are trained medical professionals.
That leads me to this next point. Midwives, at least the licensed ones around here, spend years in college and then midwifery school and then in hours of practical apprenticeship. They carry real medical equipment with them to any birth and use real medical equipment during prenatal visits. They know how to resuscitate newborns with breathing problems and have both medicine and techniques to stop postpartum bleeding. Mine gave me two bags of IV fluid during my labor because I was dehydrated. I remember when I was telling my parents that Mikko weighed 11 pounds, 13 ounces, at birth, my dad said it was a good thing we had had him weighed in the hospital or he wouldn't have believed the numbers — I had a glimpse into my dad's mind where he was probably imagining midwives hefting the baby in one hand and some rocks in another and saying, "He weighs the same as three swallows and seven dandelion bundles!" I mean, sure, some midwives are hippies — most midwives are at least a little hippy — but my midwives' scale was the same digital one as used in hospitals. Shocking! Midwives here are licensed and insured by people who will vouch that they are educated on anatomy and normal pregnancy and birth progressions — as well as when a mother or baby has an experience beyond what is safe to deal with in a birth center or home environment.9. Midwives will work with other medical professionals respectfully.
If a transfer into more medicalized care becomes necessary or prudent during pregnancy, birth, or the postpartum period, a good midwife will be the first one to let you know. The aim of a responsible midwife isn't to be a natural-birth hero — it's to make sure everyone involved has a healthy outcome. I still sometimes second guess going along with my first midwife's suggestion that we transfer to the hospital after such a long labor with no apparent progress – but I know she had my best interests at heart and I understand her reasons for recommending it, because she explained them all to me and gave Sam and me time to digest and discuss before coming to our decision. My midwives had a good working relationship with the staff at a certain hospital, and one certified nurse-midwife (CNM, with hospital privileges) in particular, so they were able to transfer us there and call in the nurse-midwife in the middle of the night. My midwife and the students stayed with us to encourage and support us even in the hospital and were knowledgeable and gentle advocates with the staff.10. Midwives can help you postpartum.
After our birth, my midwife stuck around the hospital long enough to watch us through the afterbirth tests and procedures — and then she needed to get some sleep, too! Our next couple days at the hospital were not so good. We had a rocky start to breastfeeding due to really bad advice a nurse foisted on us. Fortunately, we were finally discharged and allowed to settle in at home in our own bed, as I'd originally planned would happen immediately following the birth. My midwife, who is also a lactation consultant, came to check on us and see how things were going. She confirmed the progress of my physical healing and weighed Mikko (on a digital scale, Dad!) to see how well he was feeding. She was calm and level-headed and encouraging, informing me that my milk had come in and that I had no need to continue to go through the rigmarole of formula supplementation and pumping that the hospital had gotten us into — she made us confident that we would be able to breastfeed successfully, and soon. And she was right. She also gave us the support we needed to ignore the hospital nurse's insistence that we follow up immediately with a pediatrician, so we were able to cancel our next-day appointment that would have forced us out of our cozy cocoon and relax and enjoy our babymoon solitude a bit longer. And? As gentle as the midwives were with you during your pregnancy — that's how gentle they are with your baby, too. No roughness, no taking your little one away without your consent, but respect and tender handling, just the way you would touch your baby.As I was writing these top ten reasons, even more sprang to mind! But I hope that gives you an idea of how much I appreciate and endorse midwifery care — and how sad I am when I hear that midwifery is discouraged or outright made illegal in some areas. I wish that everyone had access to the respectful, personal care that a midwife can give! I'm totally spoiled by my midwife experiences and have no wish to go back to physician care for as long as I can swing it. In fact, we chose a naturopath for Mikko's pediatrician so we could continue having a midwife-like experience.
Even though my first birth wasn't all I'd hoped, I am so grateful to have had midwifery care leading up to it and guiding me through it. If I'd been in a hospital, I'd have had a much harder time relaxing into my Hypnobabies techniques, and I wouldn't have had the same freedom to take walks on the beach and long, long showers. (There wasn't even a shower in my hospital bathroom!) A typical OB would have found a 42-hour labor unacceptably long and pressured me into other interventions. And, of course, if ultrasounds during my pregnancy (I had none, from my own choosing) had given a hint that Mikko was as large as he was, I'd have had a hard time convincing an OB not to give me a C-section! As it was, I was able to give birth vaginally without medication, without panic (until the horrific drive to the hospital!), and with a quick healing thereafter. I thank my midwives for the confidence and support they gave me throughout the pregnancy and birth, letting me know they believed my body was strong and made for carrying and birthing new life — and that they would be with me through it all.
