Filipino Pandesal Recipe that Actually Tastes Like Pandesal. As promised , I am sharing with 'ya all this Pandesal recipe that is easy to follow and surely, your family will love it. This pandesal is just how I remembered it when I was still in the Philippines – crunchy on the outside, soft , fluffy and airy in the inside. I love my pandesal with cheddar cheese and of course, with Milo.
Try these buns and you will be transported into the Filipino Culture. Pandesal is part of traditional Filipino breakfast where you dip your bread into your coffee and chocolate milk. These buns are only bake in the morning and in the afternoon…
Pandesal are sweet buns that we, Filipinos eat for breakfast and we, or I, dip it in a coffee or Milo. It is also baked fresh at 3 PM in the afternoon in Filipino bakeries. There were no implied rules as to what time it should be sold and baked, but it has been done like this for a long time that it has become a tradition – Pandesal in the morning and Pandesal in the afternoon plus rice from breakfast,lunch and dinner, you are justified to conclude that we, Pinoys, love our carbs, yah.yah, yah?
In order for pandesal to be authentic, it must be coated with bread crumbs before baking. It is Pandesal's trademark to have crumbs falling on your shirt or crumbs sticking on your cheeks while you eat them. Without falling crumbs, I will say it is just one of those common buns sold in the bakeries.
My memory about Pandesal was about this guy riding a bike with a basket full of bread behind him; it was wrapped in a cloth to keep the bread warm. "PANDESAL!!!!!!!! " he bellowed. Mind you, this was still on the wee hour in the morning; yet, I get off from my bed, rubbed my eyes and clutching my two cents, I made my way among the crowd to buy these little sweet rolls to get my early morning Pandesal fix.
Pandesal is one part of my Filipino culture which was deeply ingrained in me. But when I came here in the US, I had stopped eating pandesal just because it is not available and because I was just simply lazy to make my own. When I went home this year and my children tasted Pandesal for the first time and liked it, I cannot help but be embarrassed of myself and guilty at the same time. How crazy was I to let my children be ignorant about this Filipino tradition.
But it is not too late. I can make this Pandesal and remind them of our roots. I made sure this Pandesal recipe will taste similar to what they tasted in the Philippines. I tried out two recipes but they did not work out, so from those trial and error, I was able to come up with this Pandesal recipe that worked. It's fluffiness, the sweetness of this Pandesal is spot on. I am sharing it with you, guys! I believe that Filipino children raised in any part of the world should experience this Pandesal tradition….just like what I am doing now. So hop into the bandwagon and let's get baking.

- 4 cups all purpose flour plus ½ cup to sprinkle on the table
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg,beaten (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pack rapid rise yeast (1 sachet is 2¼ tsp)
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup milk (fresh)
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon oil to grease the dough bowl
- 1 cup Bread Crumbs for coating
- Place the flour and yeast , in a large mixing bowl mix and make a well in the middle. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix water, oil,sugar,salt and milk until the sugar dissolves and heat it for to warm temperature 105 - 107.OR YOU CAN JUST PUT SUGAR AND SALT WITH THE FLOUR. Pour mixture into the middle of the flour and mix twice then add the egg.Continue mixing until you will get a soft,fluffy dough. This will be a gooey dough but it is how it should be. When the dough is ready, coat your hands with flour so that the dough will not stick onto your hand and form it into the ball and transfer the dough into a greased bowl. Let the dough sit in the warm place for an hour.
- After an hour, transfer the dough in a gently floured surface and directly (do not knead) gently form it into rectangle 4 " in width and 20 " in length and then fold to form a log. Cut the dough into 20 or more (depending on the size you want) pieces in a slanting form,shape them and roll them in a breadcrumbs.Arrange the dough 1' between them. Sprinkle the dough with more crumbs and let it rest in a warm place for another hour.
- When ready, Preheat oven at 300 F and bake the Pandesal for 20 to 25 minutes OR when it is lightly brown on top.Enjoy! Store leftover pandesal into the freezer for until a month.
- NOTE: Please read on the comment below,since anonymous did not have a success on it 🙁
- ADDITIONAL TIP: Preheat oven int its lowest setting, for my oven it is 125 F for 2 minutes then turn it off . I use this as the warm place where I can keep rise my dough for two hours. I call it "kinda hot" place for my dough to rise.

The present work, Russian Military Mapping, is the English-language translation of the current edition of a basic manual used in the Russian Armed Forces to introduce Russian officers to topographic and other special maps. The manual is an open publication, published in a press run of 30,000 copies, and represents a thorough update from earlier works by the same author, Lt. Gen. A.A. Psarev. When the manual first came to our attention at East View some months ago, it was immediately clear that it represented a major contribution to the literature of understanding and interpreting Russian (or Soviet) topographic maps. These maps, which barely a decade ago were basically unknown to the outside world, have now been formally declassified in large part and can be found in libraries and amongst a diverse group of users all over the world. Indeed for more than half the territory of the globe, Russian military topographic maps represent the most superior technical cartographic solution available. The Russians, it has been said, are to maps what the French are to wine.
So we were professionally quite thrilled when the Lt. Gen. Psarev's publisher, UNIINTEKh, agreed to our proposal to publish the English-language edition. UNIINTEKh proved to be an outstanding publishing partner and graciously and quickly supplied us with high-quality digital files, including various graphics, which facilitated such rapid publication. We look forward to our next project with them.
East View Cartographic's production team was headed by the indefatigable Ms. Yuliya Smirnova, whose thorough work in book design, cover art, typesetting and proofreading is a constant inspiration. The English translation was provided by Mr. Paul Gallagher, with whom we at East View are proud to continue our relationship. Special appreciation is also due to Ms. Kim Bachand, EVC's chief financial officer and guarantor of corporate stability, for her tolerance of yet another special project by her boss. And Mark Stratman's Sang Froid Press provided printing and binding services. It is always a pleasure to work with such fine professionals.
As always, we would appreciate that readers bring any mistakes, discrepancies or suggestions for improvements to our attention at email@example.com. All correspondence will be gratefully acknowledged. Here at East View we have always been proponents of giving the greatest possible visibility to key publications, more often than not esoteric and arcane, from different comers of the world. Often we do this through efficient promotion and distribution alone, but sometimes various value-added measures are required. Perhaps no publication type fits this bill more than the series of global topographic maps produced under high levels of secrecy for decades by the Soviet government. We hope that the present volume will help illuminate this exceptional information resource, which now comprises an important part of the public domain.

"After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a large number of Soviet topographic maps found their way to various markets in the West. As a result, many libraries and map collectors own copies that are both valuable and hard to use. Valuable because they are the main if not the only topographic maps available for some countries, and hard to use because of the enormous amount of symbols which are difficult to identify and interpret. Therefore, the intiative of East View Cartographic to translate the Russian Army cartographic manual is both timely and welcome...."

Summary of Projects
Project Title
Models of Industry Feedback for Work Integrated Learning Programs and Activities
Project Leaders
Dr Joan Richardson
Project Summary
This project proposed the development of a repertoire of models of industry feedback for students which RMIT University academics could draw upon and integrate into their Work Integrated Learning (WIL) courses and activities, in accordance with the Work Integrated Learning Policy at RMIT University. A set of samples, templates and guidelines have been developed to provide feedback to students as a practical aid for academics.
The project also examined models for incorporating industry feedback in assessment of WIL courses through a literature review and interviews with industry supervisors and academics involved in the supervision of the RMIT School of Business students.
- The documenting of industry feedback practices in Work Integrated Learning (WIL) courses from industry and academic perspectives.
- An Industry Supervisor Induction Package created by the School of Business Information Technology WIL team.
- Templates for workplace agreements as a component of this package.
- Development of a student learning plan. The Social Work program has also included this plan into their WIL program.
- Industry feedback templates created by the School of Business Information Technology are currently being used.
- Guidelines for reflective practice developed by the College of Business, Academic Development Unit.
- Best practice samples, templates and guidelines identified as a result of the data collection phase of the project.
- A review of literature was conducted in two fields:
- Work integrated learning, the value of feedback in facilitating learning; and
- Feedback practices, particularly how to solicit feedback and direct it towards learning.

Release Date: May 5, 2017
"Here is a prime example of the saying 'the whole is greater than the sum of the parts' … It's called synergy and the Dead wrote the book on it."
"The music they laid down brought me places I had not been before."
"...the single best rock performance anywhere, anytime, by anyone."
"There was just some kind of magical connection this night between the band members and the band and the audience - some texture, or some type of cosmic or celestial force is in the room."
"This show is, was, and always will be Mecca."
"...an awesome display of the Dead's captivating power"
If you've been following this site for quite some time, then you will know we are often flush with hyperbole when it comes to our releases. We can't help it, really - for we, like you, are Grateful Dead fans above all else. Just like you, we've spent countless hours debating the merits of show over show, year over year. We've kept a watchful eye on your wish-lists and carefully considered how to make - excuse the cliché - your dreams come true. And once we've made our commitments, we are steadfast in our determination to conjure up those dreams fully-formed and nearly perfect. Sometimes these heights cannot be reached without physical and cosmic elements aligning, and that, dear friends, is why it has taken so long for us to bring you THE ONE and the epic shows that surrounded it. No need for even the slightest embellishment here, 5/8/77 Barton Hall, Cornell University: Ithaca, NY, has for decades, been THE resounding favorite; you've said it yourselves - the "holy grail" of Grateful Dead shows. Thanks to the passion and perseverance of Dead Heads like you, we are beyond pleased to finally be able to present this show and its brethren, the fabled four of Spring '77, in sonically pristine condition.
MAY 1977: GET SHOWN THE LIGHT is a collection of what is unanimously believed to be the most sought-after previously unreleased complete shows the Grateful Dead ever played. Collected, traded, and debated for decades, "the beloved Golden Trinity" of Boston, Ithaca, and Buffalo, along with their New Haven prelude, have inspired fans to "get on the bus," converted critics, and even garnered national attention (Cornell was added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry). But until now, you've never really heard them quite like this!
The Dead is in the details... how serendipitous is it that the notorious Betty Cantor-Jackson soundboard recordings were returned to the archive just in time for the 40th anniversaries of these shows? Lovingly sourced from these well-reputed recordings, we invite you to experience four utopian shows just like they happened, to "be inside the music" as engineer Betty Cantor-Jackson intended. Whether you listen to each night on its own or imbibe the whole lot at once, we suspect you'll hear why every note mattered. Much like we were, you will be hard-pressed to determine which of these fine documents - will it be the understated but nuanced New Haven, Boston's festive fantasy vibes, the monumental catharsis of Ithaca, or Buffalo's dreamy exuberance - is truly "the best." Does it really matter? We think not.

I remember the Spring 79 tour. We were all wondering how the "new guy" would play. We were blown away! To me, his arrival was a much needed shot in the arm. Raw energy that made the band jump. There are shows in the 83-86 time frame where Brent was leading when the band seemed to be lacking energy. I wasn't a huge fan of his songs but that's just my opinion. They weren't bad, they just didn't light my head up. Brent did good. Worked his ass off. YMMV.
Brent's studio solo album....
Heck...even Keith was better than Brent! At singing, I mean. Well, at keyboard playing too, come to that. Brent tended to over emote to my way of thinking, which can be a bit tiresome when you are sitting listening at home. If someone who had never heard the Dead before listened to a track with Brent singing lead-they would think we were all mad. Not that we aren't...

Like fine wine, only improves with age.
It took me some time to really appreciate the second set of 5/3. If you've got the time and focus, it takes you on a wondrous journey. A true classic.
I keep hearing the first half of the tour doesn't have the same sound quality.. I don't know.. all the shows on that tour have their own sonic charm.
This is my favorite Grateful Dead Concert. I am so glad that the Dead folk decided to release each show, after they released the trunk with all of the shows in it. I had a bud on this board that let me know ,what shows were good. He said there was a problem with sound quality up til May. So I got the 1st show in May, this one. They did 2 nights in a row here in the Olympia. I got the next show too, and ended up not liking it as much as this show. BTW, are they selling these shows out? Very few single shows left, most are sold out. Anyway, the 2 buses of bozos and bolos with their wild drivers, had reached Paris a couple of days early. They really enjoyed this tour, were playing very well together,plus they also did a multi track recording of all of the shows to put on a new live album. Pigpen was on this tour, Billy K was the only drummer. Keith and Donna were on their 1st big tour with the Dead.
This CD I listened to in my car today, They do a great "Jack Straw", it took me back to a time in the mid seventies, my ex wife and I got off at a rest stop, to chill out, it was a beautiful day, I remember the clouds were large and relaxing. I had made a cassette or 2 of Dead music to listen to on the road, my old 60 vw did not have a cassette player, so I had brought along one of those cheap tape players that you could get for 20 bucks at radio shack. I remember we listened to Jack Straw from Europe 72, it was a hot brand new song to me, but had heard them play it many times. I got sad for a moment, but it did not last, I probably enjoyed the song as much today as I did back then.
Your comment on the dream having ended reminded me of the saying by the Chinese sage, Chuang Tsu;
"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Tsu, dreamed I was a butterfly flying happily here and there, enjoying life without knowing who I was. Suddenly I woke up and I was indeed Chuang Tsu. Did Chuang Tsu dream he was a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream he was Chuang Tsu? There must be a distinction between Chuang Tsu and the butterfly. This is a case of transformation."
Shrimp and grits, mmmmmmm........
I'll take whatever, just tell me what it's going to be......
Based on clues, I'm going with 11/3/84 for DaP23
....fucking gross. Pass. I rarely, if ever, buy fast food tacos. Too easy to make at home. 10X better....
Long john silver's fish tacos are awesome. 5/28/77 has a serious playing in the band and Not Fade Away. taco bell's chicken tacos leave a lot to be desired. had no taco's today had Marco's pizza instead. had Mexican from Roscoe's Taco's with Tonsilectomy sauce yesterday. needless to say I spent quite a bit of time on the toilet yesterday nite.
....I said rears its head. Didn't throw the ugly adjective in the mix. Funny that fish tacos are on this boards menu. The fam just prepped the slaw for fish tacos tomorrow. No lie. Today we had shrimp & grits, and it was awesome. Almost as awesome as disc 3 from DaP 17. Fresno was blessed with a scrumptious Eyes->China Doll that evening. Dead & Co nailed China Doll every time they played it btw....the keyboardist discussion (better?) does get a bit nasty at times though. Let's not go there....I like them all. Chimenti brought it....
Reno, NV
Taco Taqueria
South Lake Tahoe, CA
Spacebro likes Brent's singing, Love Jerry doesn't. All cool.
That's a darn good question JimInMD, and I also like them both kyleharmon.
Maybe we can debate tacos. Fish, shrimp, beef, steak, chicken or pork? I think shrimp taco's are the best.
How can you desecrate a taco by putting fish in it?
Well, if it's a flour tortilla then I guess it's ok since flour tortillas are just imposters anyways.
time to go process some 1's and 0's.......
I like brent and I like the post brent eras bruce and vince and just vince eras. I need more post brent era in my life.
yea.. what's up with that? Would you like a little cheese and crackers w/ that wine?
You're gonna get some real enthusiasm for the Brent years on these threads from time to time ..or playing on the Abbey Road theme, let it be.
How can things get sour when people are talking about incredible music and fish tacos? Yummy times two.
Just adding a little perspective...
Europe 72 shows are now available in ALAC format at nugs.net for anyone that is interested. as far keyboard things the T.C. era is my least favorite due to amplification problems.
....it's like the rising of the sun. One can always count on it....
Vince was a bona fide bathroom break.
His only good song was Baba/TNK.
That's always a great start to the day for me. I actually began with Let it Be and Mono Pepper.
Then into Genesis' And Then There Were Three followed by Seconds Out.
Hiatus time for the GD what with an upcoming installment.
Gonna get freaky and try and mesh up the mandolin and analog synth tonight into something worth hearing later. Admit it's a strange brew! But fish tacos were radical at some point. Gotta explore, eh?
Brent was the best vocalist the band ever had outside of Bob and Jerry in my opinion. He brought soul and emotion into the mix vocally and instrumentally.
"For my money, this was our hottest era,"... "We couldn't wait to go on tour; we couldn't wait to play because it was really working for us and it was keeping us amused. We had been working together as a unit for a good length of time." ~ BW
Bob and Jerry both agreed.
Myself, I'll take '89 anytime. It was the era where I started to really get it in my time of going to shows and discovering bootlegs. The band was playing at their peak. People who don't like this era are seriously missing out on some of the best music ever performed and recorded by any band anytime anywhere. I don't understand the hatred.
That being said, I would gladly accept a '91 show as well. Another under-represented year.
Jerry liked s singing,
Garcia said this of Mydland during a Gavin Report interview: "He's the only one of us who is really a good singer. Weir and I sort of croak our way through stuff after years of default singing. But Brent is a serious singer. He can really sing."
I sure hope it's not from 89. If its gotta be non60s/70s, I would much rather hear a solid Vince show. Brent just kills it for me every time. I can tolerate the keyboards but his voice is torture. Cruising along, listening to Jerry sing and play a fine Eyes of the World and then the chorus comes and I hear that strained voice drag it all down. I wouldn't even say he's out of tune, but his voice doesn't harmonize with anyone else in the band, and certainly isn't pleasant to the ears. Didn't sound too bad in the early 80s. Tolerable even. But by 89 it was just too raspy for me.
A couple of weeks or so until the next Dave's Picks announcement. Hopefully something that will compliment the Meet Up At The Movies feature show from that same era. Bring on the '89 Dead!
I would take the Winterland June 1977 box set over Get Shown The Light. 1977 was my first year I really got into deep, and while the set lists are great on the 5/5, 5/7, 5/8, & 5/9 shows, the echoey low vocals detract from it as a whole, and the overall clearness and definition of the intruments is not as good as June, or even some other May shows. Jerry is low in Help /Slip / Tower, both vocally and his guitar. There are definitely some stand out moments like Dancing, Comes a Time, St Stephen from 5/5, The Wheel, Mississippi Half Step, and Morning Dew, but I think the June 7 and May 22 Dews hold their own. Someone also said Keith sounds better later in May, and I did notice some unusual organ sounds on Scarlet / Fire from Cornell. Maybe in time these will grow on me more, I'm only saying that after 2 months, June 77 still does it more for me.
I just woke up and put on Abbey Road to start my day. What a beautiful record. Felt like the dream was still alive (it isn't).
Nice suggestions on Steely Dan songs, folks... right, there really isn't a bad one in the bunch. That green box set is the bomb.

Actually in my mind there are NO tracks from Walt and Don that arnt top notch.
Gave 5/9/77, Buffalo, another listen today, and man is that show great. I was looking forward to the Help-Slip-Franklins, which was highly enjoyable, but found myself really digging that slow Bertha today, and that Comes A Time put me in a state of rapture.
Also listened to DaP21 in the last couple of days, another fantastic show from '73 and a good companion to DaP16, still one of my favorites. Really can't seem to soak up enough Dead since my little break.
Wondering what the show will be for DaP23, figure we are a couple of weeks from an announcement.

Yeah, good show. I'm glad the video is available.
Would like to have seen more shows, can't wait until next summer.....we need fall and spring tours!
Happy anniversary 7-7-78
Just invented that symbol to mean that I'm spinning it now.
First.. a shoutout for both Chimenti and Burbridge. The heart and soul of Dead & Company regardless of their titles (or lack thereof).
Second.. I thought Milestones was one of if not the single highlight of the tour. I have yet to listen to the Saturday night NY show.. so take that into account. ..and yes, Chimenti certainly did shine in Atlanta.
NCDead, Ice Cream Kid and others got a nice treat.. wish I was there.
Back to the Miles discussion.. it was actually in full swing before Atlanta, which is what made the out of the blue Milestones so cool and serendipitous. I don't know who started it, I think it was just a random comment about Miles at the FW, 1970.. but I would not be surprised at all if it was deadicated or daverock that originally brought it up. It seemed to organically arise from the flow of the conversations.. but was in full bloom at the exact moment they played it in Atlanta. Almost as if they were reading this crap we write.
A small shoutout to zuckfun.. just noticed he was in this when it was fresh.
Have a good weekend everyone.. do something fun and spread a little joy, good news or do something unexpected and nice to someone.
I will second that, I was at that show and you could tell Jeff was going to be a force to be reckoned with in that show. That might be the best I have heard him play in any show to date and then in the middle of space he just takes over the ship and drives it where he wanted.
Just coming back full circle to where (I think?) this Miles convo started....I will say that I acquired the Dead & Co. show from Atalanta (6/13) and went straight to that 'Milestones'.
It was as awesome as I recalled in the moment it happened; Jeff takes it by storm and off it goes. Mr. Mayer is totally all over the jazzy runs for about 5 minutes, sharing with Oteil and of course Jeff. It's moments of pure bliss and joy - and they sound fucking awesome. The rest of this show is very solid as well.
Just thought I would toss that back out there for a bookend (or bookmark).
Otherwise, I do enjoy all of the back and forth and opening of doors and looking under rocks for this stuff.
The complete On the Corner Sessions is one of my all time favorite boxed sets. Excellent playing and recording engineering/production, although it may take some getting used to. I have to agree with Daverock's suggestion about the 1965-1968 Box set - great stuff!
Take care and enjoy the music...
Got an email today saying that they were checking with the warehouse.
Also waiting, heard it's on back order
Hey gang,
Is anyone else still waiting on a replacement disc for the 5/5/77 disc 2 show?
Just wondering.
Very good album but I don't believe you need to be a woman to enjoy it FloridaBob ;) I hear where the Spanish Jam comes from --a track on Sketches called Solea. Compare it to Spanish Jam from 2/11/70--Dead with the Allman Brothers. Cool stuff, and good feedback on Miles. I have some of his stuff somewhere. I'll be sure to give it another listen.
Some Girls ARE bigger than others!
Been hitting this CD heavy for some reason this morning. I vividly recall my introduction to the album. At a party and There is a Light started to play and all the exotic goth girls got up to dance. I was a bit older than them, but it was a joy to behold. And I bought the record the following day.
From there, the Cure etc found it's way to my stereo.
The distance of time crystallizes the moments of youth for the lucky who are brave enough to glance back.
I listened to this album for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't believe how beautiful it sounded. Either the music has changed-or I have-because I don't remember it sounding THIS good.
I bought the 1965-1968 box set of what is referred to as Miles second great Quintet the other week. And great it is. The first three cds feature mind boggling jazz. I always liked listening to how the Dead interacted as musicians-I guess we all do-and these cds allow for the same type of listening, albeit in the jazz medium. Its a lot to get your head round-and all the better for it!
The music seems to change on the 4th cd of this box. There is a great, 33 minute track called Circle in the Round which is sort of trance rock-nothing like what I think of when I think of his electric period, which I always found a bit frenetic. This is quiet-almost meditative. I suppose it could be considered as the precursor to In A Silent Way. Which is also a great album. Listening to Miles Davis is something of a voyage of discovery, I am beginning to find!
There is a light that never goes out!
With the caveat that it is ALL worthwhile, I particularly like:
On the Corner
In a Silent Way
Tribute to Jack Johnson (particularly like John McLaughlin's contributions here!)
And some live albums:
Live Evil
These are all from the early 70s period. Bitches Brew should probably be in there too but I'm pimping the underdogs here!
Hear hear and her 3 children

Vendredi 18 mai 2007 : Conf du Pr Piersandro Pallavicini, Dipartimento di Chimica Generale, Università di Pavia (Italie)
Coordination and acid base chemistry inside micelles for the construction of self-assembled devices
Micelles can be advantageously used as containers for the self-assembling of multicomponent devices in aqueous solutions, thanks to the micelle ability of including a number of different molecular components in a small-dimension space. Inside the micelle, the included components display their peculiar functions, interact, and as a result the whole system may display a new overall function, as in traditional supramolecular devices. Moreover, inclusion in micelles changes the properties of the molecular components with respect to the water bulk: lower solvation and an overall charge effect (for charged surfactants) strongly influence the acid-base and coordination properties of the micellized molecules. Playing on the properties of the included molecules (e.g. lipophilicity or shape), or on the average charge of the micelles, it is possible to finely tune the observed protonation and complexation constants of included molecules. In addition, a local, inside-micelle, reciprocal overconcentration effect must be taken into account for micelle-included species, that may lead to interaction processes (e.g. complexation) that are not effective in bulk water at the same analytical concentration. With this micellar multicomponent self-assembling approach we have so far prepared systems capable of selective fluorescent sensing for Cu2+, Ni2+, Hg2+, and pH windows. In this talk, new results will be presented about: i) the role of the lipophilicity and shape of the micellized components on the efficiency of the signalling process for fluorescent cation sensing; ii) the role of the overall charge of the micelle when neutral and charged surfactants are mixed, in tuning the protonation constants of included bases. An ON-OFF-ON fluorescent system for pH windows will be presented that can move the ON window at will all along the pH axis; iii) the role of overconcentration effects inside micelles, in preparing a multicomponent fluorescent syscoordinative competition, capable of directly evaluating the lipophilicity of a given molecule.Contact : Franck Denat

Exam fever
Forget hay fever, the mums around me at the moment are suffering from exam fever, and they're not even the ones taking them. It's especially afflicting the mothers of boys, I notice.
Exam season is upon us and I've been through it all before with Eldest so I could come over all a bit weary and smug now if I felt like it, but I don't, because it's stressful every time - although some children do seem to cope better than others. This time it's Middle One's turn, GCSEs, starting next week.
I remember one of my friends, a mum herself, with children just lagging behind mine in age, saying: "Surely it won't affect you, they're his exams aren't they?" When Eldest was approaching his GCSEs. Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha, how I laughed. And how I laughed even harder when it was her son's turn and I heard her telling a mate about the revision timetable she was drawing up for him.
Another mother of a boy I know even told me she was "teaching her son how to revise". If she's cracked that one then she could earn a fortune hiring herself out. And then there are those mothers who actually sit next to the boy and go through the curriculum with him, piece by painful piece. You know who you are.
But even if you fully intend to stand back and let him sort out his own life, as I do, schools just don't let you. The GCSE evening 'Helping Your Child Through GCSEs' a few years back (I didn't go to it again this time around) was two hours long. TWO HOURS of being lectured at in a draughty school hall on a hard wooden chair about how stressful it's going to be and that you need to make sure he gets a good night's sleep before an exam day. Durr.
The thing is that so many mums I know are highly conscientious and no doubt approached their own exams with colour-coded efficiency. Now they are expecting the same from of their sons. Disappointment looms. Because this is the rub: boys just aren't all that fussed, well, most of them aren't. Yes, plenty could get A*s if they put their minds to it, but they can't be arsed. They don't measure their self-worth against academic success in the same way that girls appear to. They don't get all lathered up by what their friends are up to. They don't really care. And mum whinging on at them day and night about sorting themselves out and doing some, you know, actual revision, just gives them something to rebel against.
I remember a story about a boy banished to his room to revise, his laptop confiscated so he couldn't play games on it, who texted his mother the minute she'd gone out - 'Ha! I still have my phone up here. I'm playing games on that!' If they are determined to fritter away their time on displacement activities (improve my guitar playing, anyone? Suddenly become incredibly politically active?) they will.
So here's some random advice below gleaned from when Eldest took his exams, not all of it stuck to by me at the time I should add…
1. Do be supportive, interested, sympathetic. "It's a rough time." "Poor you." "How are you feeling?" all GOOD.
2. Don't be anxious and over-dramatic: "So you want to fail ALL your GCSEs and serve hamburgers in McDonalds for your whole life then!" BAD.
3. Do provide revision guides, paper, pens, Post It notes, coloured highlighters, a quiet place to study away from siblings and distractions. GOOD.
4. And do STAY AWAY. Don't pop up to his room every five minutes for an update. "Just thought I'd check how you're doing up here." BAD.
5. Do provide snacks, treats, nice food, their favourite meals, a good breakfast on the day. "And would you like homemade blueberry sauce with that pancake, my darling?" GOOD.
6. Don't write out a revision timetable for him. That's your plan, not his. He has to own it. "I'm not being controlling really, just call me Svengali." BAD.
7. Do pin the actual proper exam board timetable from school up in his room so he knows when they are. "Here you are, darling, just a little info for you there." GOOD.
8. Don't insist he get up early and go to bed early but SUGGEST this might be a good idea. 7 am: "Are you up yet working on your Physics yet?" BAD.
9. 10 am: "Would you like to come down for your homemade blueberry sauce now, darling?" BETTER.
10. Don't do a constant countdown about how many months/weeks/days/hours there are left until the exams: "You only have a week left you stupid child, so you had better get on with it!" BAD, BAD, BAD.
11. Do encourage other activities apart from revising. Sport and going outside for a nice walk or a run, all GOOD.
12. Don't book a 6 day holiday in Italy when he is meant to be revising, as I did. BLOODY STUPID.
13. Do be around before and after exams to offer food and a friendly ear if you can and, crucially, only if this is desired. GOOD.
14. Remember it's his life. (Good luck with that one.)
15. Some of this also applies to girls but I don't have any of those so things with them may be a little different. I hear tell they revise in GROUPS at the kitchen table in a collaborative and friendly manner.
Love E x

|The teenboy, who was accused of 49 theft charges, was told to be more like 50 cent (Picture: Rex)
A judge in Australia has used an unlikely approach during his sentencing of a teenboy accused of a string of burglary charges. Magistrate Dean Potter was sentencing the Aboriginal boy over 49 theft and burglary charges when he told him that he should be more like 50 Cent.
He said: 'Like you, 50 Cent came from the most tragic, traumatic circumstances. He was able to rise above them through sheer hard work and dedication. 'I think you have the potential to do the same and avoid a life in that criminal justice system.'
Curtis James Jackson III, known as 50 Cent, came from a life of crime, drugs and violence and was arrested on numerous occasions for possession of drugs.
|(Picture: Google Maps)
In 2000, he was reportedly shot nine times. But he still managed to make it big as a successful hip hop artist and at one point had a net worth of $150 million. Mr Potter told the court that he was surprised the boy had not been through the criminal system earlier.
He said: 'That says something [about] your character. Your mother must be solid as a rock. 'A lot of people don't have the personal strength to go beyond their circumstances, but for the most part you've been able to rise above it.'
Western Australia has the highest percentage of Indigenous prisoners in the country, according to Bureau of Statistics figures. The boy pleaded guilty to 14 burglary charges and was sentenced to a six-month intensive supervision order and 40 hours of community service.
Mr Potter said: 'You don't want to be part of the problem, you want to be part of the solution. In 10 years I want to look you up and see your successes.'

In April 2006 old friends of mine, David Frank, the chief executive of Zodiak Media Group, and his wife, Isabelle, rang to say they had seen an advertisement for a house in Majorca and had put in an offer, sight unseen.
In fact, David had never been to Majorca. But the house, built directly into a limestone hillside, with caves as rooms, and further caves and disused rock mines in the grounds, had fired their imagination, and when they did finally visit just before signing contracts, they found it to be as quirkily seductive in reality. Would I like to make the garden, they asked.
Since I had never designed a whole garden for anyone else before, and never so much as wielded a trowel in the Mediterranean, this invitation was rather reckless. But over the years I had had many chats with Isabelle about her various London gardens, she and David had been to my garden in north Wales, and they knew I had seen a lot of gardens in Spain, France and Italy. 'We want you to bring your own vision to our Majorca garden,' David said. That was my only brief.
I remember taking in the landscape for the first time as we drove from Palma airport to the south-east corner of the island. Sun on the far-off mountains, scruffy little towns with handsome churches, horses grazing in fields of white and yellow marguerites, wild gladioli on the verges.
The Franks' house was 50 yards above the plain, overhung by bald and fissured rock outcrops, and flanked by extensive runs of limestone pavement, oak and pine trees, among which we found bee orchids and heard the cuckoo-like calls of hoopoes. Below the house was a wilderness acre of wild olives and dark lentiscus bushes, punctuated by stands of opuntia cactus and purple muscari. The only gardened section was the largest of several courtyard areas by the house, with its pomegranate tree, casual beds of roses, oleander, banana and bird of paradise flower, and tangles of bougainvillea, grapevine and morning glory on the walls.
Renovation of the house, which was to be a holiday home for the Franks and their three children, was the priority, so the garden could be, as garden-making ought to be, a slow-fuse project. Indeed, we all saw so little need for rush that we are still working on it five years later, enjoying the gentle process of rumination behind each part of the design and planting.
Nevertheless, that first day we began to clear the mountainous heap of woody debris that we had inherited in the middle of another of the courtyards, and as we did so an extraordinary vision revealed itself. Over the wall, several miles distant, loomed the silhouette of what looked like a castle out of The Lord of the Rings, perched on its own jagged, 500-yard-high hill. It turned out to be the monastery of Sant Salvador. That evening we drove up to it, the road snaking through pine woods and an understorey of cistus bushes and pampas-like ampelodesmos grass.
At the monastery entrance was a well with a brass cup offering a cool drink: 'This water is potable. Do not soil it,' someone had carefully composed and fired in ceramic tiles without checking the English translation. Sadly, there was no monastery garden from which to take inspiration, but the church was filled with images of the Virgin Mary clutching her white lily, Lilium candidum. So for the design of our own courtyard, I thought we should not only draw in the monastery view, reflecting it in a traditional quartered pattern of beds, edged in low hedging and simply planted with herbs and vegetables, but also make sure we included the Madonna lily.
To help me get to grips with the practicalities of gardening in the Mediterranean, I was keen to meet some local gardeners. Having no Spanish, communication with the neighbours was proving frustrating, but through the internet I tracked down the Majorca branch of the Mediterranean Garden Society, who turned out to be mostly English-speaking expats of assorted nationalities and, as one would expect of gardeners, extremely welcoming. Inviting me to see her garden in the mountains, one of them told me not to be put off by the distance from her gate to her house; it was over four miles. When I got there she had prepared a three-course meal, and invited 30 other guests.
Clearly, however, there was much I had to discover for myself on site, especially since I wanted to indulge in the widest possible spectrum of plants that I had never had the chance to grow before – plants either too tender for Britain or that wanted conditions diametrically opposed to the damp, shady, acidic ones presented by my own Welsh garden. But the two colleagues I invited to work on the garden with me, and to take turns joining me on my bi-monthly visits, have brought to the project considerable hands-on expertise in warm-climate gardening – Stuart Barfoot is the curator of Torrecchia, a leading Italian garden, and James Aldridge, who was assistant head gardener at Highgrove, spends part of the year in South Africa (both also have their own design practices).
But we have all been ambushed by the extreme alkalinity of the soil (pH 8.4), and by the intensity of the summers, which cause native cistus and euphorbia to shrivel and even Majorca's famous almond trees to drop their leaves just as the main August wave of tourists hits the island. A sere landscape, rasping with cicadas, has its own charm, but around the house and pool you do want summer greenery and colour, and that means a different cast of plants, and water. We have been working on capturing every possible drop of the 20 inches of annual rainfall, and this year will see the completion of our 100-yard-long stone rill, which will wind its way through the olive wilderness, carrying rain from the house's gutters to a large water tank in the field for recycling in summer.
Gradually, over the past five years, the garden has taken on a series of 10 different planting zones, unified by the rock, walls and wild olives, with David, Isabelle, Stuart, James and our groundsman, Heiko Pagel, all having lively input into the design and their own areas of influence (David is our highways and byways department).
After the Monastery Garden, we embarked on the Mine Garden, a sunken courtyard with a 10-yard drop into a mineshaft and a network of small subterranean limestone quarries. During my first August here, I realised how desperately the eye wants respite from the sun, its glare exacerbated by all our white stone. So I conceived this area as one of cool, green shade.
I thought it would be fun to have water dripping over the mineshaft's rock overhang, and to enter the mine by stepping stones across a deep, black pool. I also wanted to make allusion to the ancient history of our site, whose caves would almost certainly have been inhabited by Neolithic settlers and the land by their successors of the second millennium BC, who built strange conical megaliths called talayots on the island, possibly as lookout towers. We planted it with groups of primeval cycads, nephrolepis ferns, native fan palms and giant papyrus, found some wicker seats of talayotic shape, and added some reptiles to our pool in the form of four turtles – which, having munched through some expensive lotus plants, are not presently in my good books.
The rock being close to the surface in other parts of the garden, we recycled many of the crumbling drystone walls to create raised planting beds, which we filled with a fertile soil mix and keep moist with drip hose. I did not anticipate that we were creating ideal bed and breakfast facilities for vine weevils, whose grubs seemed to materialise out of nowhere in vast numbers. Although we pledged to run the garden organically, on this occasion I could see no alternative but to do a one-off chemical assault.
Many of these beds, especially near the house, have been planted to be colourful and jungly like a Rousseau painting, so we have been lavish with cannas, shield-leafed colocasias, cane begonias, scented ginger lilies, crinums and jasmines including the splendidly named 'Grand Duke of Tuscany' – many sourced from our favourite nurseryman on the island, Helmut Michi, a German who in a previous life was a bird-trapper for zoos and, in one of those peculiar connections, turned out to have supplied the African shoebills that I looked after during my 1976 holiday job in Frankfurt Zoo.
Courtyard fountains having been integral to Spanish gardens since the occupying Arabs introduced them in medieval times, we got our architect-builder, José Monserrat, and his craftsmen to build some in traditional design to marry with the house – which is thought to date from the 15th century – and to bring the refreshing sight and sound of water in the hot summer months.
But beyond the old courtyards, there was the opportunity to create a more contemporary look to accompany a new swimming-pool, barbecue and bar. We (David, Isabelle and the team) were all itching to have a go at a cactus garden. In spite of the winter wet and temperatures hovering just above freezing, cacti thrive in Majorca, and there is a large commercial nursery growing them right on our doorstep. Being heavy and vicious, the plants arrived on site enveloped in bubblewrap and had to be manhandled into position by three burly nursery workers. I was amazed to see they had virtually no roots, and we were instructed not to water them for at least a month to prevent them rotting. Unveiled in their architectural splendour, this was instant gardening par excellence.
Much of the 10-acre site, including all of the escarpment and most of the wilderness, we are leaving entirely to nature and its limestone flora. An isolated pocket of wild, rocky ground, however, had been worked on previously and abandoned as scrub, and here I have been experimenting at developing a sort of etherealised version of the island's maquis. The aim is to produce a rhythmic series of seasonal highlights without soil improvement and with minimal watering, but it is still very much a work in progress. Most successful so far have been the aloes, which produce their orange torches from autumn onwards, and the Mexican salvias, almost every species of which seems to love it here – some, such as blackcurrant S discolor and red S confertiflora, flowering non-stop all year.
Over the past couple of years, we have also been trying our hand at annual meadows – with no watering. In one area we are autumn-sowing a kaleidoscopic mix of our own devising, and in another a calmer sweep of white corn camomile splashed with blue cornflower. This we now plan to interplant with an assortment of spring bulbs we have been testing, including scented cream Gladiolus tristis and wild white freesia.
If I had to choose, I am not sure I would opt for gardening in the Mediterranean over gardening at home, for in spite of our occasional hard winters we can grow a far wider range of plants, and with more ease. But it is wonderful to have sunshine and blue sky as the norm, and to be gardening in the company of praying mantis and swallowtail butterflies. Making this garden continues to be the greatest of adventures.

For my music classroom this year, I made a set of 3 posters.
I had them printed at the local Walmart photo department as 8″X20″ posters. They look great!
For my music classroom this year, I made a set of 3 posters.
Take a group of kindergartners to a piano and ask one of them to make angry sounds on the piano. You will immediately get loud, low, deliberate banging sounds. Ask another one to play happy sounds. The child will instinctively play light, high-pitched, fast notes. Ask yet another child to make sad sounds and you will hear slow, mid-range to low, soft notes. These sounds will be created by children who know nothing of piano playing, much less traditional music theory.
What is their secret? How do they know what the music is saying?
Children innately understand that they can make sounds which mimic a person's physical and emotional reactions. A person who is angry, for example, will make big motions, will talk in low, harsh, loud tones, and move about in a very deliberate manner. Recreating the emotion of anger on a piano then becomes simply a matter of doing the same things.
Take this exercise a step further, and you might be shocked at how proficient these small musicians are at using music to communicate. Ask a small child to think of an animal and portray that animal on the piano. See how quickly the other children can guess what the first child is thinking. In my experience, usually within 1 or 2 tries, the other kids know what animal was being "played" on the piano.
Music has the capability to communicate on so many different levels. It can communicate the emotions of anger, happiness, sadness, loneliness, joy, satisfaction, discontentment, and any other feeling you might experience. Music communicates physically, mentally and spiritually. And children are very much aware of this.
Years ago, when my children were very small, probably 2-4 years old, I played a CD for them of John Phillips Sousa marches, played by a marching band. Their response was obvious and immediate. They merrily started marching around the house in a perfect parade line, waving flags and stepping in time to the music. This was not something I taught them.
Children innately understand how music communicates.
Coloring notes to indicate different pitches is not a new concept. The problem is, there is no standard accepted color associated with each pitch. Probably the most common color scheme today would be the "Chroma-Notes" colors used by Boomwhackers. This system makes allowances for blended colors on the flats/sharps. The thinking behind these colors is discussed on this page.
Candida Tobin used her own system of colors for teaching beginning music students with great success. The colors seem to have been chosen arbitrarily.
The "We Hear and Play" system for teaching absolute pitch was used by the Tanedas when training very young children to play piano. Again, the colors chosen seem to be in random order.
|Lime Green
Here's the color scheme that makes the most sense to me at this point, especially when using these colors with small children (try using "indigo" or "magenta" with kids, for example). The Mr. Noteman system would be a slight modification of the rainbow colors (ROYGBIV), close to the Boomwhacker designations.
Proposed Mr. Noteman Coloring System
C – Red
D – Orange
E – Yellow
F – Green
G – Blue
A – Purple
B – Pink
I do not know how extensively I would use colored notes for teaching pitches. I am very leery of getting too far away from teaching what music looks like when encountered in the "real" world. I do know that for small children, colors are very much less abstract than trying to decipher a notehead's location on a staff.
Now, here's a lady who knows how to teach music to small children! You've got to watch this video. Notice her use of rhythm manipulatives as well.
Candida Tobin introduces harmony
Here's the story about how I happened to discover this video. In my last couple of posts, I introduced the Noteman Babies. My plan is to make them in 7 different colors and correlate them to the 7 pitches in the musical scale. Boomwhackers use this method, for example. I can think of tons of music learning games that could make use of these cool music education toys. (By the way, I introduced the Noteman Babies to my elementary music classes this week, and the kids really loved them!) I discovered that my music notation software, MuseScore, has the ability to print colored note heads, corresponding to the Boomwhacker colors. During the process of learning about all of this, I found a reference to a guitar teacher who used the Candida Tobin method, so I had to find out more.
I love her approach, but would probably go with the closer-to-a-standard colors of the Boomwhackers.
If you like this, you've got to go here to download another video about her system: http://tobinmusic.co.uk/content/video/requestVideo.htm
Highly recommended!
For our purposes, music is defined as: a pattern of sound organized to communicate on a physical, emotional, intellectual and/or spiritual level.
As a tool of artistic communication, music has the ability to amplify any message the composer or performer wishes to convey. It can be, and has been, used for both good and evil purposes. It is, therefore, vitally important that we become aware of what is being communicated, and how it is being communicated.
Mr. Noteman wishes to be a help in training young people to understand how music communicates, and then learning to use music as a power tool to glorify God, and to be a blessing to others.
Do a simple internet search to find the answer to this question, "What is music?", and you will discover there are multitudes of opinions as to what constitutes music. Some opinions are so esoteric as to be laughable. Other definitions are so flowery that the reader ends up having no idea whatsoever what they just read. However, I think all would agree music consists of sound. I also think most people would recognize music contains organized sounds of some sort, as opposed to random, non-packaged noises.
How much of music is art or science is immaterial, I think, because for our purposes, the function of music is to communicate. Organized sounds have the capability to intrinsically deliver a message to the listener. Whether it is a simple beat pattern that causes us to tap our foot, or a complex classical symphony that stimulates us emotionally, intellectually and spiritually, music creates a response of some type in the listener which is discernibly different from the response induced by hearing random noise.
So, Mr. Noteman believes music can be defined as: a pattern of sound organized to communicate on a physical, emotional, intellectual and/or spiritual level.
Because music is such an incredible tool of communication, it is desirable for us to become students of it's forms, and learn to master the basic skills of music, so we might be able to better discern it's messages, and be able to communicate to others through this medium.
Even small children can learn to communicate to others through the manipulation of sound.
And this is what Mr. Noteman is all about.
This post addresses the first point of the Mr. Noteman Manifesto, which states: 1. EVERY child can learn to connect with God, himself and others through music.
Former New York Teacher of the Year John Gatto, in his book The Underground History of American Education, discusses the fact that practically everyone in the United States learns to drive an automobile. We as a culture do not see anything extraordinary in the fact that average people are given the right and responsibility of piloting a couple of tons of metal, containing fuel that has the explosive capacity of three sticks of dynamite, through the neighborhoods and streets of our cities. In other words, despite what we have been trained to think of personal limitations, we are all very much capable of developing complex skills and can learn to perform extraordinary tasks, given the appropriate freedoms and motivations.
I believe that the subject of music is no different. All children, practically without exception, are very much capable of learning to understand how music works, are able to sing on pitch, and can learn to appreciate and perform music in a competent manner. Actually, the younger the better! As children grow older in our culture they develop the limiting mentality that learning certain things is hopeless, or, even worse, boring! This is caused, I believe, primarily by their constant exposure to teaching methods based on the outdated concept of creating industrial drones, training children to perform menial, degrading tasks over and over to receive ethereal, non-substantial rewards.
Teaching that reaches children must be based on THEIR perceptions, and by fanning the flames of their NATURAL CURIOSITY to experience, explore, and create. The teacher that has a firm grasp of fundamental musical concepts, and also of the incredible learning styles of small children can very easily teach complex musical skills, such as reading rhythm notation, singing on pitch, and even sight singing skills. Some music teachers even go so far as to say that young people can be taught to develop the skill of absolute pitch, sometimes called perfect pitch!
The point, of course, of these musical skills is to allow children to connect with God, themselves and others. Music is a form of communication, and in it's idealized form, allows one person to transfer thoughts, ideas, feelings, and concepts to another. Music truly is a "universal language," communicating even on levels deeper than our conscious understanding. And children have a very keen, innate understanding of the types of communication going on in music. Try asking a small child, for example, to communicate the idea of an angry lion on a piano keyboard! You will get the idea quickly!
No, musical skills are not out of reach of any normal child. Music is not the domain of only the "gifted" or "talented."

Contributing Artist: Richard Lasley
Richard Lasley, a native of Southern California, was encouraged at an early age to become an artist. After attending Ventura College and The Art Center School at Los Angeles for illustration and design, he worked as a freelance artist for many agencies in Los Angeles and New York, and was also a member of the Illustrator's Club of L.A. Later, he was employed as a production illustrator for many feature movies in Hollywood, working with the likes of Steven Spielberg and other creative notables.
Art is a way of life for Richard Lasley, and his philosophy can best be understood by reading the following quote from his website:
"The most important attribute an artist can possess is a positive attitude about one's self, one's talent, and towards others. Commit to being the best you can be. The journey into my world of art continues to broaden my horizon and has left me with an ongoing and everlasting joy and passion."
Mr. Lasley's love of the southwest and Native American cultures now inspires him to portray the wisdom, strength, and resilience of many tribes through his paintings and drawings. He and his lovely wife, Dede, reside in Tubac, Arizona.

I must admit, parenting is a challenge. It's a challenge to drive a long distance. It's a challenge to go shopping. It's a challenge to go out to eat anywhere aside from McDonalds or Burger King. I can complain all I want, but the truth is taking my child out is far easier for me than it was for my mother and generations prior. When I really think about it, I have no idea how these mommies did it. They must have had mountains of patience, magic tricks up their sleeves and maybe even some fairy dust. Because once a child becomes bored or decides they want to go home, it's more than difficult to find a graceful way of prolonging the experience without the help of current inventions. There are a few things I've found to be the saving graces of various outings that otherwise may have quickly gone awry.
Supermarket Hand Scanners
I know not all grocery stores use these yet, but the one I frequent has them, and they are nothing short of amazing for shopping with a toddler. These wonderful little hand scanners allow me to scan each item and place it into the bags I've already prepared in my cart so that I'm not standing in the longest line ever waiting for the cashier to scan every single item, and then waiting even longer for them to be bagged. When I first had my daughter, I didn't know these little scanners existed. I'd wait in line, praying my baby didn't start screaming before our turn finally came. Now I just go to a quick scan kiosk and scan one barcode, which is generated by my nifty little hand scanner, pay and the outing is over. Not only does this make checkout simple, but my daughter LOVES the scanner. She happily sits in the cart scanning every barcode for me as we plow through the store. It's a game to her, and that's fine by me. She even starts to take more notice of the things we are buying and lets me know what she'd like added to our trip. I had my doubts about grocery shopping because I know the grocery store is not the most exciting place for children, but this scanner has changed the entire experience to something positive. When I tell my daughter we are going to Stop & Shop, she cheers, which is something I can't ever recall doing as a child.
Family Restrooms
I cannot remember ever seeing a family restroom as a child, teenager or even as a young adult. A unisex bathroom was something I'd only seen in a unique dance club in the city. I don't know what prevented these wonderful creations from happening sooner, but the family bathrooms are a fantastic invention. No longer do moms need to wait to use the single, little changing table in the back of the bathroom. Now there are several padded, counter mounted change stations to comfortably change a baby. There are even little trash bins right next to them for quick disposal of diapers and wipes. There are also private nursing rooms for moms who wish to breastfeed in private. I actually used one of these, and it really was a wonderful thing. A nice quiet little room away from prying eyes where I could sit comfortably, and my baby could fill up on milk in a relaxed environment before continuing our shopping excursion.
The bathroom stalls are also family friendly because they are large enough to fit a stroller inside. Gone are the moments when I had to leave the stroller by the sinks and use the bathroom with my child crammed in front of me. No longer need I sit in fear of the moment she touches sanitary napkin receptacle or the front of the toilet bowl. These new restrooms are roomy enough to fit the stroller and child. Some even have a tiny toilet for children who are already potty trained. My husband is especially thankful for all places with family bathrooms because having a daughter makes the situation rather awkward. He hates the idea of bringing our daughter into the Men's Room so he can use the bathroom, and there is no way he can leave her unchaperoned outside. The family bathroom makes it possible for him to change my daughter, or use the restroom himself, sans awkwardness. I honestly hope more of these pop up because they truly make life for parents far simpler.
Tablets (of course)
As much as I hate to resort to my child staring into a computer screen, tablets really are a fabulous invention, especially for children who are still too young to read. Whether it's the iPad or similar device, these inventions have made parenting so much easier. When we are in a restaurant and our child does not feel like eating, or sitting quietly, having a tablet handy is a wonderful thing. She can watch musical programs, movies, play with her previously downloaded teaching apps, and even draw/paint pictures with her fingers. When we took an almost four-hour trip to Atlantic City, and our daughter didn't feel like napping, the biggest help in keeping her subdued for the ride was use of her tablet.
I don't like to often hand her a device to occupy her mind, but in certain situations it really is a Godsend. There is nothing worse than driving over a bridge with a child screaming over and over that she wants out of her car seat, or needing to leave a restaurant after only just receiving the entrée because someone decided it was time to be a big, fat cranky pants.
While I recall spending many family trips reading during the long car rides, I can't recall my parents taking me on a trip prior to being able to read. Perhaps this is why. The ability to have various forms of entertainment at one's fingertips definitely makes outings and possible travel disasters a far less painful experience.
While going out with little ones isn't necessarily a walk in the park, thankfully there are many devices at our disposal to make these trips happy ones. When thinking about it, my mother must find my complaints pretty darn lame. She's probably thinking, "Yeah, try taking a car trip with two fussy children, and no DVD, tablet, or handheld video game, and then you can talk to me about difficult". It's true. This doesn't mean taking the kids out isn't a big pain in the buns, but it could always be worse.

Jesus intentionally unsettled the majority by moving toward the marginal. Imagine your church living like that. Imagine your church as a safe place for hurting people to come to Jesus for help. Picture SSA strugglers being honest and open about their temptations in the same way all of us are called to be honest and open. Envision a sermon series that breaks the SSA silence and equips your people to interact humbly and boldly with their struggling brothers and sisters and lost neighbors.
For a church to move toward this vision, the leadership must be united. Loveintolight.com wants to help. If you have read the book Love Into Light and would like for some of your fellow leaders to unite with you in communicating this vision to your church, consider using Love Into Light as a resource to unite and prepare your leaders. We would encourage you to select a few chapters that are most relevant to your church, ask your fellow leaders to read those, and then discuss them as you pray about a sermon series on SSA.
When you move toward people in the shadows with love and light, the enemy will seek to sow fear, division and discouragement. Prayer is vital. Teams of intercessors who pray for boldness and transformation as the Word is preached make a difference. What the enemy seeks to use to divide and destroy is turned into a vehicle of unity and life. We have seen God use controversial sermon series in many surprising ways!
When it comes to the Church's response to homosexuals, a commitment to truth and compassion haven't always gone hand in hand. But that's just what Peter Hubbard recommends in his book "Love Into Light: The Gospel, the Homosexual, and the Church."

Love Into Light is available on Amazon.com.
