How does everyone cook their fish other than your standard fish fry? Any interesting recipes?
Personally I'm a big fan of fish fajitas, po boy sandwiches, chowders, and pickled fish.
If anyone wants the recipes I use let me know, and I'll share.
Curry, I have made thick red or yellow curry for serving on top of rice with several types of fish but Bass are my favorite because they hold up well. You also can make a curry based soup that is low carb if that is important to you diet. I stay away from Channel cats as they seem to get rubbery when boiled. (red curry is usually hot where as yellow is milder)
I love fried fish, but my wife wants a little less oil in her meals, and it doesn't hurt me to do the same. What I do is take a glass dish with some olive oil on the bottom, ( I usually use olive oil with chipotle seasoning to give it just a tiny bit of heat), about 2 tablespoons in a 9X13 pan, shake some good old Shore Lunch, Cornmeal Recipe, in a bag with the panfish fillets, no milk or egg just wet fillets, and put them in the glass dish. One layer only. Cook for 40 minutes at 425, and then, important now, broil them for maybe 5 minutes of so, to dry out and slightly brown the top of the fish. The wife likes em like that. I add Old Bay seasoning and some black pepper on them on my plate. Tarter sauce, etc. is optional.
And thanks everyone for the other GREAT ideas on changing things up a bit in the kitchen! I'll try the walleye wings if I ever catch a walleye.
I had walleye wings for the first time this past winter on our annual trip. First time i've heard of zippering a walleye too. My grandpa always talked about the wings but since I don't target walleye, never had them. Definitely worth keeping the wings since it's a portion of the fish that doesn't normally get eaten. Kind of fun to eat them and they were pretty good too. Cheeks on the other hand, probably the only piece of meat that would make me consider targetting walleye! Delicious.
Not the cheeks.
Has anyone tried walleye wings? I learned about them after the fact last week while we were in Canada so I didn't cut them out of the ones we caught there but am planning on trying it next time I get out on Winnebago or Green Bay.
YouTube has videos of how to cut out the "wings" if interested.

Questions To Interview A Social Media Manager
Has the time come to hire a social media manager? If you are passing off social media to your marketing department or adding it on to someone else's job in the company, you are probably ready to hire! But what on earth do you ask someone in an interview about such a new and often foreign field to so many. Sure some may think they are an expert b/c "I'm on Facebook ALL the time", but that doesn't mean a thing about promoting and engaging a business online. We've come up with a list of top questions you need to ask:
1. What is the number 1 benefit for a business to be on social media? Let's hope they say "engagement". Client/customer engagement is the most important thing a business can have online. Listen, everyone is online, everyone has some kind of social profile…no matter how much they admit to using it. Having your business on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Youtube is going to help you reach your audience. It gives you a chance to engage with them, answer questions, tell them about the company, make announcements, share deals and so much more. You need someone who can see this, who believes in this.
2. What do you know about monitoring and listening on social media? Here you are looking for someone with a fine attention to detail. Every day, multiple times a day, a social media manager needs to be checking and reviewing all your profiles. They need to be reading comments, answering questions, looking for shares, likes and Retweets. This is your audience talking to you, asking you something, showing you something…and if the manager isn't actively monitoring it, you are missing out.
3. How are your writing skills? Maybe don't even ask this question but have them show you! Give them a writing test.Throw them a few scenarios your company might talk about for the coming month and ask them to write posts. Delivering a message on social is short and sweet (especially on Twitter!) and if they can't get the point across quickly, then they aren't a good fit. Of course they might not immediately know your company's tone and audience but hopefully they've done a bit of research! And those things can be established after hiring. But the basics of just writing can't be faked so put them to the test.
4. How would you handle an angry customer or client online? Most importantly, they need to check with their immediate supervisor first, make them aware. Secondly, it is important to take the angry person offline quickly. A short post that acknowledges the person's complaint and give them an outlet via email or phone to contact the company. This also shows anyone reading it that you are actively working on it. Once the issue is resolved offline then a reply can be posted informing of the resolution. But never ever delete a complaint. This tends to further anger clients and can result in an even harsher post. The caveat to this rule about deleting is any foul language, inappropriate images or harassment can certainly be deleted immediately and the person blocked.
5. How would you spend advertising dollars on social media? This question is definitely subjective to your company but hopefully there would be a discussion about building out your audience or promoting significant events/products/aspects of your company. There are many types of campaigns that can be run on social: audience development, promoted posts, driving traffic to your website, finding leads, etc. Someone newer to social may not have been exposed to all types of campaigns but do they have a general sense of marketing and common social goals?
6. How would you measure ROI? First, did they know what ROI was or did you see fear in their eyes! Second, listen for key things like level of engagement with likes, shares, Retweets and audience reached as well as increased page likes/followers, increased website traffic, metrics on ad spends, hashtag usage, etc.
7. Do you believe engaging our business on social media is even worth it? Ding ding ding, this is the BIG question! You have to have someone who believes in this. Someone who sees that regardless of people saying that they never use Facebook anymore or only skim Twitter occasionally, the numbers just don't back that up. Businesses are thriving on social media. They are reaching customers, engaging with clients, developing leads, directing followers to their website and so much more. Find a person that believes in this. Period.
That's a start for your interview list. Tailor it to your company, your team, your goals, your marketing plan but incorporate these basic questions in there. Good luck and happy hiring!

Hey all, I'm a new member and preparing to take the EBPHI Nation Home Inspector exam here in Oregon.
I've got a strong background in building science and construction and do fairly well on the interNACHI practice tests.
I'm curious if anyone has taken the EBPHI exam and feel like the interNACHI online courses prepared them.
Another option I have is buying the home inspector manual from EBPHI and studying that.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has an opinion on best ways to prepare for that specific exam. Seems like there's a lot of options.
EBPHI Exam Preparation
Hey all, I'm a new member and preparing to take the EBPHI Nation Home Inspector exam here in Oregon.
Good morning Andrew
I too am planning to take my EBPHI test soon (January).
Like you I have found the course tests easy to pass. I need to get some ride a long inspections booked. After that I will have the points needed to sit for my test.
While I am confident in my building knowledge (12+ years general contractor) I think the ride a long inspections will help round out my inspection procedures and report writing.
Have you decided on your software you intend to use?
I haven't chosen a software yet. I probably should be looking more actively though. Have you found one you prefer?
I hope to find one with a emphasis or section pertaining to energy efficiency and possible upgrades. I've got some old equipment from my last weatherization business I could put to use during an inspection…might set me apart from the competition.
Good Luck!
I recently took the EBPHI exam after studying for several months. I took a lot of the Internachi courses and did well on them. In addition I went through all the practice questions with the test prep app several times. What is going to guarantee you pass though is to buy the exam prep book and study it cover to cover. I made about 400 flash cards and went through them many times until I knew the information thoroughly. There are many easy questions on the exam but there are some tough ones too involving the need to know specific information and if you don't put in the time to study you'll be paying to take the test again. passed it my first time but busted my *** studying for it.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
Good early morning all.
Andrew, I am seriously considering Home Guage for software and web site services. Noticed you have not joined InterNachi. I found alot of very useful and educational information in areas I could not access without membership. It's a business expense and I'll write off the costs. Great investment! Good luck too you.
Good morning Robert.
I also purchased the study guide. Happy to hear you confirm it was a good investment!
Flash cards are an awesome tip!
Thanks for the test tips!
Good luck in biulding your business!
Much appreciated, thanks for the input. I've got the study guide on the way and plan on joining interNACHI shortly.

20 Jul A diary of a new GP – how I survived my first 5 months
Hello everyone, my name is James and this is hopefully the first of many blog posts about my experience as a recently qualified GP. I gained my CCT in December 2016 and I was fortunate enough to receive an offer for a salaried GP post in South West London soon after. I still remember the morning of my first session there – I stopped outside my room to look at the shiny new plaque with my name engraved on the door. I proceeded to put two things on my bare desk to keep me supposedly sane – my brand new Spurs mug and a photograph of my wife and 2 children. It then dawned on me, as I logged on to the system, that I was ALONE! For the last 12 months I had my supervisor 5 feet away. I was always a message away from invaluable advice from the other partners- fantastic GPs who taught me so much.
I have now been a salaried GP for 5 months and I can honestly say that it has been both immensely rewarding and a true privilege. When I first started I was worried that no one would come and see me but not surprisingly I have been kept busy, an elderly patient told me last week " I'm glad I saw you – I wasn't going to book an appointment with you, as I didn't know you but my neighbour has recommended you to our whole street!" This highlights one of my favourite things about being a GP – the opportunity to be a doctor for your local community.
It has been truly wonderful to get to know my new colleagues – doctors, nurses and administrative staff, I have already learned so much from them and endeavour to keep growing as a practice colleague. It has also been interesting to see first-hand how different CCGs work. It is still tough to get out of NE Hampshire & Farnborough CCG habits and adapt to Sutton CCG-life! The last few months has helped me acknowledge the importance of practice meetings and internal emails and how they contribute to the agendas and work ethos of an efficient practice. I must admit that I had my 'rebel without a cause' moment when I started using staples for prescriptions to prevent loss of papers. As a paperclip-fan I let my feelings known to the whole practice via internal emails about my clear preference and even though I sadly lost this battle – I will fight for the humble paperclip another day!
I also had the opportunity to spend some time helping patients at the local prison. This work has been immensely rewarding – I was able to see real progress in helping women with chronic pain and mental health issues. However, due to the regulations on quantities, timings and overall control over medication and prescribing, it has also been an incredibly challenging experience. Prescribing is very different compared to what happens during standard practice. Thanks to the support of my mentor at work and the senior nurses I am working through this – I am lucky to have colleagues who go out of their way to help me in any way they can.
These last 5 months haven't been without challenges. I've learned very quickly that my training bubble had burst. As a GP registrar I had time to concentrate on the clinical content of work, studying and structured teaching. However, as a GP those academic moments have been replaced with numerous paper and electronic prescriptions, lab reports and clinical letters. The sheer volume of admin work can be overwhelming but with time I have slowly tried to manage all of the above within a working week.
Another challenge I fear is the ever- changing role of GPs – our workloads are higher than ever and the pressure on practices are immense. The changes in NHS policies and the recent hung parliament election result makes me fearful for the future of the NHS.
I will finish this blog-post on a positive note with a few tips that have helped me navigate these first 5 months as a GP:
- Keeping up to date– I have endeavoured to read the BMJ and BJGP regularly to maintain my knowledge and refresh my memory on important guidelines. I went to a GP update course in March and it was also a great opportunity to keep up with the latest changes. Another way of consolidating my knowledge is sharing interesting clinical reviews and articles on Twitter. I think that using social media is a wonderful opportunity to highlight medical education and research.
- Keeping a reflection diary – I went on a GP-update management course where this was recommended in an excellent lecture by the inspiring Dr Rachel Morris. It has really helped me process long days at work and it has been incredibly therapeutic. Try it and I promise you won't regret it!
- Finding a healthy work–life balance- GP hours are long, intense and both emotionally and physically tiring. I have insisted on leaving work thoughts at work and ensuring I embrace home life with my family. I try to make time to take my kids to swimming lessons on the afternoons of my half days. I also make time for hobbies – playing the piano again (La La Land Soundtrack) and last week after a few months of training I competed the London 10 mile, whilst raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. Having this balance has helped me tremendously with the intense rigours of GP life.
I went to my MRCGP graduation 2 weeks ago and I felt so proud to be a GP. It reminded me that my job is an incredible honour. I believe looking after people is something I will always cherish and despite the gloomy political forecast and its potential repercussions on an already pressurised NHS, I will strive forwards and follow the example of my daughter's favourite film's lead character: "If something goes a little wrong, well you can go ahead and bring it on, 'cause if you knock knock me over , I will get back up again"- Poppy from the Trolls Movie.
I can't wait to find out what's next in store for me. Till next time…

Around Wavelength (1994)
This is actually a book, but the three texts by three different authors were amalgamated into one volume.
The Michael Snow Project: Visual Art (co-curator and co-author with Dennis Reid and Louise Dompierre), Toronto: Art Gallery of Ontario, The Power Plant and Alfred A. Knopf Canada, 1994.
Or scroll to Introduction below
Side Seat: A Retrospective Look at Michael Snow
In late 1969, stimulated by the occasion of a retrospective of fifteen years of his work at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Michael Snow reviewed his career by producing the catalogue as an artist's book. Michael Snow/A Survey "was an attempt to use the records of my life and work which I had (in the form of snap-shots, family photos and photos of and texts about my work) to compose a new work."[1] This notion of a retrospective look using the materials of past productions was further playfully exemplified in Snow's 1970 film Side Seat Paintings Slides Sound Film as a complement to the catalogue.[2] The film "reproduces" a typical artist's slide lecture on Snow's paintings from 1954 to 1965, which one sees as if arriving late (one always arrives, historically, late) and so is afforded only an oblique view—the "side seat" of the title. The film, of course, is not only this dry review; it is a transformation of one medium and set of works into another made of the elements composing the title: "What especially interested me was the transformation of media: painting to slide projection to sound-film and that the core 'raw' material was something that I had already 'personalized' for another purpose. The intention was that the transformation should put the spectator in the present experiencing the sound-film 'through' the past of the paintings and slides."[3]
The intervening period between Snow's last "painting" of 1965 (the quotation marks are his) and its duplication in Side Seat Paintings Slides Sound Film is the subject of this exhibition. The film exemplifies two concepts operative in the present exhibition and catalogue: the retrospective look of Side Seat is not only a looking back, it is also a looking through one medium into another, which already individually interweave levels of presentation and representation. In the present case, the look back is ours, not Snow's, but we reproduce that initial gesture of Snow's at a greater distance; and the looking through is not the transformation of one body of material into another, but a retrospective seeing of works through each other's shared structures and mutual influence. (Our looking back is different still in that the presence Snow writes about—experiencing the past through images in the present—cannot be recreated here simply through the offering of past works to our current view, for there is no actual transformation of medium here. Representation in writing is one thing, which the catalogue attempts; re-presentation in exhibition is another. In the latter, we are dealing with the presence of the original works outside of their own time of making and first presentation. This complicated play of presence and absence, though, makes up many of the challenging dilemmas and subjects of Snow's works and writings.)[4]
Looking is circumscribed, nonetheless. While the 1994 exhibitions at the AGO (apart from that at The Power Plant) virtually replicate the one of 1970 in terms of the period of the works, if not number, shown, those specifically from 1967–69 are now separated from the presentation of the earlier works by the very gestures we find in the sculptures, films and photoworks of that period themselves.[5 ] In its narrow scope, Around Wavelength functions as an aperture to separate its works from the wide concerns featured in the comprehensive exhibitions that bracket it, while acting at the same time as a hinge between them. Focusing on its moment then, the current presentation narrows attention to the limiting conditions of work produced by Snow for his 1968 exhibition at the Poindexter Gallery in New York and his 1969 Isaacs Gallery exhibition in Toronto where new works supplemented those of New York. (The 1970 AGO exhibition added the rest of the sculpture, photographic works and films of the current exhibition.)
This notion of the aperture defining the exhibition within the Michael Snow Project as a whole mirrors what took place in Snow's work of that period. These works concentrated their apparatus on the function of viewing in order to make sight visible. They effectively put an end to the images of the Walking Woman, filtering perceptual and conceptual themes to their more purified essence, before Snow's themes broadened out again to wider image practices during the 1970s.
Sculpture played the dominant role in these commercial exhibitions, but while those two exhibitions are the core of this one, sculpture was not conceived apart from Snow's concurrent work in film and interest in photography, which themselves defined the shape sculpture would take. Prior to Snow's main activity in photography evident during the 1970s, sculpture assumed the role of perceptual investigation. At that time, Snow focused the apparatus of his work on the actual acts of viewing: reducing the figurative element (yet actively incorporating the body of the spectator) by using the camera as a model and the frame as a principle device. This was sculpture to be seen through as much as to be looked at.
While the camera and its framing device offer the model for sculpture, the camera's product—the still or "moving" image—found its analogy in the viewing experience of the spectator. Photography proper was not part of these exhibitions in 1968 and 1969, with the exception of that integral to the sculpture Atlantic. In our case, each photographic work has been chosen to indicate a type of investigation consistent with Snow's sculpture of 1967–69 but which differs from his subsequent investigations initiated from 1970 on.
The absent presence in the space of exhibition here, and speculative hinge of the exhibition, is Snow's filmwork, particularly the film that made his fame, Wavelength. The planning of Wavelength during 1966 signalled the Walking Woman's demise (although Wavelength could be thought the last Walking Woman work) and set out the complex themes that would be explored, in the cases where they were more apt (or perhaps led to more interesting transformations), in the specific media of sculpture or photography. While the original exhibition contexts seem to highlight sculpture in the concept of this exhibition, film is integral to it: hence the title Around Wavelength. This title can be read as what spatially, in the case of the present exhibition, groups itself around Wavelength or as what sets the historical context ("around the time of Wavelength"), even as what succeeds it in time, as if influenced by it as well. Around the time of Wavelength, moreover, should remind us also of the durational effects Wavelength introduced to Snow's work.
If Wavelength is the key to the demise of one body of work, and the initiation of another, an artist's thinking is too complex to let one work stand as the determination of all that follows. Working in a variety of media, Snow was enough of a modernist to let each medium determine its own effects. Nonetheless, Wavelength, in its devotion to the insubstantialities of time, light and sound, plays an inordinate role in this catalogue and exhibition in that it is the counterpart to everything that is stable and static in museum presentations.
1. From the manuscript "About Side Seat Paintings Slides Sound Film" dated 1978 in the Michael Snow Fonds in the E. P. Taylor Research Library of Art Gallery of Ontario. All references to Snow's notes and sketches in the text pertain to this archive. The catalogue referred to is Michael Snow/A Survey (Toronto: Art Gallery of Ontario and The Isaacs Gallery, 1970). The exhibition took place Feb. 14 – March 15, 1970. Also see the print Manual, 1970, which uses the1970 catalogue as a physical object to transform photographically into another work.
2. A Casing Shelved, an autobiographical "talking picture," also from 1970, has a retrospective structure.
3. Snow, "About Side Seat..."
4. On the notion of a retrospective look for curatorial practice, see Philip Monk, "In Retrospect: Presenting Events," Parachute 46 (March-May 1987): 11–13, and the Preface to Philip Monk, Ian Carr-Harris: 1971–1977 (Toronto: Art Gallery of Ontario, 1988), 6–7. Around Wavelength continues the curatorial conjecture set out in that earlier exhibition.
5. While the present exhibitions survey the same period, needless to say, they are separate and operate under different curatorial criteria. Together, though, Exploring Plane and Contour, Around Wavelength and The Power Plant's Embodied Vision provide a "retrospective" survey of Snow's work, without following the retrospective format.

Story and Photos By Ken Keating
January 30, 2013, Lanford, BC – On a cloudy but decent Sunday afternoon, nineteen cars lined up for the first Enduro race of 2013.
Alex Atkinson had the pole with Daen Barry on the outside as the field took the green flag for two hours or two hundred laps of racing in the Steve Copp Construction sponsored Hornet Car winter series with Darren Yates, last season's Champion taking the lead on lap two from the fourth starting position. He was followed first by Atkinson, and then Brad Aumen, and Phil Lagan by lap seven with these drivers battling early for positions.

The second yellow flag came out on lap thirty-one as the #19 car driven by Ashley Creed came to a stop on the front stretch. On the restart, Yates took off followed by Lagan, Aumen, and Davin Otke occupying the top four positions. The yellow came back out after just one lap as another competitor had to be pushed into the pits.

On this restart, Yates got away again and shortly after the green flag start, Lagan entered the pits ending his afternoon and giving the second position to Otke followed by Aumen and Brenda Leslie.

On lap forty-four Aumen pulled into the pits giving the third position to Leslie followed by Jamie Rand and Tristan Gait. Over the next several laps Yates continued to run all over the competition lapping car after car, Otke, Leslie, Rand, and Gait held their running order until the field stopped on lap seventy-two for the halfway mark.

Session 6 - Evolution, Survey and Clusters of Galaxies.
Display session, Monday, June 10
Tripp Commons,
Dwarf early-type galaxies present a puzzle in that they appear to be fragile due to their low stellar densities, but are most commonly found in rich clusters of galaxies. The structures of dwarf galaxies therefore are interesting as a possible means to explore the effects of tidal interactions in clusters. For this purpose we obtained deep R-band CCD images with the 2.1-m telescope at the San Pedro Martir Observatory for several Virgo Cluster early-type dwarfs. In this poster we present our images, an analysis of the brightness profiles of these objects, and a discussion in terms of models for tidal distortions of dwarf galaxies in dense clusters.
Program listing for Monday

Hall's Market celebrates 80th year on Park Lane
(originally published on westhartfordnews.com.)
WEST HARTFORD >> Hall's celebrates its 80th anniversary this month. As the store and its family look back on the business' history, the owners sent a reflective essay with memories of the store's past, present and future.
Eighty years ago when Franklin E. Hall first opened the doors of F.E. Hall's Grocery on Park Road West Hartford looked a markedly different than it does today. The population of West Hartford was about 25,000, the trolley still ran on Park Road and there were several independent grocery stores in the town. Since then West Hartford has grown to its current population of almost 64,000 residents, the trolley tracks are gone, most of the independents have closed, several large food chain stores have come and gone yet Hall's is still going strong.
In 1967 Mr. Hall, "Bud," sold the business to Raymond F. Booth who changed the name to Hall's Market in the 1970's. In 1982 Ray's son and daughter-in-law, Ron and Betsey purchased the market. In 2006 the third generation of Booth's took over the reins when two of their children, Jennifer Booth Hettrick and David Booth bought the business.
Though time has changed West Hartford Hall's has remained a landmark, a local business with incredibly loyal customers. When asked what makes Hall's stand out, Jennifer stated that, "It is very simple: we love what we do! We love West Hartford and the Park Road neighborhood. We aspire to provide our customers with top quality meats, locally grown produce, fresh baked goods, groceries, dairy, and a top notch deli. Our faithful customers understand our passion for food of incomparable quality and value and we enjoy sharing that with new customers. We understand that food is the center of many family and corporate events and know that when you entrust your catering to us we have a very important responsibility. Our passion is our job, we strive to earn our customers trust each and every day and we do everything possible to make their visit a pleasurable one."
Hall's continues to be best known for their old fashioned custom cut meat counter with experienced, helpful meat cutters where one can call in an order and have it ready when they arrive, and orders are taken weeks ahead for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's meats. The award-winning full-service deli is known for getting the long lines of lunchtime customers on their way with custom made sandwiches.
Hall's also features seafood from Boston, deli salads made in their own kitchen, a gourmet cheese section, store baked goodies including muffins made with native, seasonal fruits, delicious breads and rolls, cupcakes, pies and cakes, store made soups and a variety of garden salads. The large array of prepared foods includes low-sodium and gluten free choices all of which are prepared next door in the recently opened Hall's Kitchen. Hall's garden fresh produce comes directly from a who's who of local suppliers.
Jennifer and David are especially proud of the catering division which has experience unbridled growth the past five years, leading to the opening of Hall's Kitchen next door to Hall's Market. Jennifer, whose background is in Dietetics, can create the perfect menu for your special event whether you're hosting a family holiday or special occasion, having a business meeting, a casual BBQ, or a formal dinner party. The catering menu, which is online and at the store, includes a variety of appealing appetizers, fresh salads, filling entrees and sandwiches, side dishes and delicious desserts. Jennifer is happy to work with you to customize the menu for you. Suggestions for new items are welcomed. Home delivery of both groceries and catering is available at a nominal charge.
Hall's Market is located at 331 Park Road, West Hartford.
Store hours are:
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.,
Saturday 8 a.m.-6 p.m,
Closed Sundays.

T-Mobile My Touch Launch
TPN helped T-Mobile launch their newest phone—the MyTouch, with a "buzz-build" event and press launch in New York. We put our heads together with the creative team at T-Mobile to concoct an interactive experience that showcased the versatility of the product. We also showcased our flexibility by contributing to every part of the event from the sets, lighting and branded signage to the installation of plasma TVs. Our Technical Director produced the content which played on the screens during the event.
At the after party, key media personnel and VIP experienced MyTouch via six different interactive consumer lifestyle zones. Each area was equipped with wireless, GPS, and video playback displays which allowed participants to touch.

The event included formal presentations from local experts followed by an open question and answer session with the expert panel. With a focus on innovative solutions that can be implemented in the short-term, a positive, "can-do" context was established.
Matt Thomson from the Sunshine Coast Affordable Housing Society presented a definition of the housing spectrum and highlighted what the Sunshine Coast already provides, as well as a summary of the current and increasing need: Sunshine Coast Affordable Housing Presentation
Laurie Vance from Habitat For Humanity Sunshine Coast provided an overview of the Habitat For Humanity program as well as asummary of this group's achievements, plans and aspirations: Habitat For Humanity Sunshine Coast Presentation

I'll be headed to Italy soon, with just enough time to attend the opening ceremony of the Arte Laguna Prize Finalist Exhibition in Venice at the Arsenale.
From the official site:
"The Arte Laguna Prize is exhibiting 125 works from around the world, the finalists of the eleventh edition of the contest, which give us a glimpse into the current state of international contemporary art.
The exhibition is curated by Igor Zanti with the collaboration of ten international jurors who assessed and selected all the applicants... Flavio Arensi, Tamara Chalabi, Paolo Colombo, Suad Garayeva, Ilaria Gianni, Emanuele Montibeller, Salvador Nadales, Fatos Ustek, Alma Zevi and Nav Haq."
Take the Water-bus, 5.2 Line, and get off at the Celestia Stop.
Then I'll be back on a plane on my way back to the (unfortunately much less moisture-laden) desert of Tucson. If you're nearby, come and join the festivities.

Plein Air Rockies events Saturday:
• 8:30 a.m.: Quick Draw & Auction, at Riverside Plaza (behind Inkwell & Brew)
• 1-3 p.m.: Ticketed VIP Party CAC fine art gallery, 423 W. Elkhorn Ave.
• 5-8 p.m.: Gala opening reception and awards ceremony, CAC fine art gallery
The largest and most comprehensive art event in Estes Park is coming to completion this Saturday. Plein Air Rockies, a Festival of Outdoor Painting, featuring 28 local and visiting artists, will exhibit the best of the work they have completed over the past two weeks at a gala opening and awards ceremony starting at 5 p.m. at the Cultural Arts Council fine art gallery. Also on August 27, the most exciting event of the two-week paint-out — the Quick Draw and Auction — will take place beginning at 8:30 a.m. in Riverside Plaza.
"This has been an amazing event," said Barb Boyer Buck, executive director of the CAC. "We've been hosting some of the top plein air artists from all over the United States for the past two weeks."
CAC is the local nonprofit which produces Plein Air Rockies every year. Artists were juried in from all over the country based on past examples of their plein air work and invited to Estes Park to paint the beautiful Colorado Rockies for this competition.
Since Aug. 13, participants have been spotted within a 50-mile radius painting "en plein air" (in the open air), braving quickly-changing mountain weather conditions. The group is painting as many pieces as they can complete and then each artist will choose the best three created to enter into the competition.
"More than $11,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded," Boyer Buck said.
The 2016 Plein Air Rockies exhibition will continue at the gallery through September (with a special First Friday celebration on Sept. 2 featuring plein air demonstrations) and be refreshed in October for the Fall Colors show.
"Those works from participating artists who wish to return to paint for two weeks in September will be added to the existing exhibition for Fall Colors which opens Oct. 7 at a First Friday celebration," Boyer Buck said.
The first chance to see the results of this year's plein air competition is to purchase a VIP ticket for the preview show, held from 1-3 p.m. this Saturday.
"This an opportunity for collectors to have a first chance to see, first chance to buy," Boyer Buck explained.
The ticket price is $100 and will apply to the purchase of at 2016 Plein Air Rockies painting.
"Later in the evening, the gala opening and awards ceremony at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public," Boyer Buck said. "Attendees are encouraged to vote for their favorite piece for the People's Choice award by 6:45 p.m."
The winner of this will be announced with the rest of the awards at approximately 7:15 p.m. Participating artists will also choose a favorite among the collection to designate Artists' Choice.
But art lovers don't need to wait until the afternoon to join in the fun. On Saturday morning, the most exciting part of Plein Air Rockies kicks off in Riverside Plaza at 8:30 when participating artists hear the whistle, signaling they have 90 minutes to complete a painting.
"For the Quick Draw and Auction, we will have a fly-fisherman in the river as a model; or, the artists may choose to paint any scene in the immediate environment," Boyer Buck explained.
After 90 minutes, painters put down their brushes and deliver their artwork to the tent to be judged. International artist Lani Vlaanderen of Drake will be the 2016 Quick Draw judge and will determine first, second, and third place winners before the auction starts.
"We expect the auction to be underway by 11 a.m. at the latest," Boyer Buck said. "But bidders need to give themselves time to check in and get a bid card."
The auction is open to anyone who wishes to participate, and the public is also welcome to watch the artists compete in this fast-and-furious paint-out competition. The Plein Air Red and Plein Air White wines created by Estes Park's Snowy Peaks Winery will be auctioned off as well. Auctioneer Rachelle Repine will conduct the auction.
This year's Plein Air Rockies artists are: Janet Anderson, Denver; Cliff Austin, Boulder; Olena Babek, Hartland, Maine; Bonnie Bowne, Fort Collins; Lon Brauer, Granite City, IL; Michael Clark, Denver; Jenifer Cline, Loveland; Linda Dellandre, Montgomery, TX; Carol Devereaux, Dallas, TX; Mary Frankel, Estes Park; Cathy Goodale, Estes Park; Gary Gore, Palmer Lake; David Harms, Denver; Kathleen Hudson, Lexington, KY; Neal Hughes, Moorestown, NJ; Jane Hunt, Boulder; Kathleen Lanzoni, Boulder; Larry DeGraff, Estes Park; Donna Lyons, Grand Lake; Erich Neubert, Dana Point, CA; Dennis Rhodes, Evergreen; Richard Russell, Blanding, UT; Scott Ruthven, Fort Collins; Jason Sacran, Fort Smith, AR; Will Spear, Fort Collins; R. Greg Summers, Overland Park, KS; Cecy Turner, Estes Park; and, Virginia Unseld, Black Hawk.
"We couldn't have done any of this without the support of the Estes Park community and our corporate sponsors," Boyer Buck said. "Rob and Julie Pieper of Poppys' and Mama Rose's have graciously donated the food for the opening reception and Amy Hamrick at Kind Coffee is contributing coffee for our artists the morning of the Quick Draw. Candice Mohr of Snowy Peaks has once again created an amazing set of red and white wines to honor the festival and to serve at our receptions."
Other sponsors include the many Estes Park residents who have hosted an artist during this time, Rick Martinez of AVT Productions who has donated his time to be the festival's official photographer; and, several generous cash donors who wish to remain anonymous. Corporate sponsors include Jack Richeson & Company, Blick Art Materials, Colorado Fine Art Supply, Judson Air Outfitters, Southwest Art Magazine, Plein Air Magazine, and Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine.
"And of course, a special thank-you to our local newspapers – the Estes Park Trail-Gazette and the Estes Park News – for their in-kind contributions for publicity purposes," Boyer Buck said.
Here's a quick overview of the events and locations for Saturday's festivities:
8:30 a.m. – Riverside Plaza (behind Inkwell & Brew). Plein Air Rockies Quick Draw & Auction

Mother's Day school update
Hello friends, Wishing you all a very Happy Mother's Day! We held our annual Mother's Day Tea in the Children's House Classroom on Friday to the dee-lite of all attending. We missed Kate and Elliot but are sure they all celebrated while away! Thanks to Mrs. Bhatia for creating the very dear MDT handmade presents and to Ms Elizabeth and Ms Irene for setting up, creating the placemats, providing the menu, purchasing and preparing the menu and creating the menu and beautifying the room! Mr. Will was on hand to assist as well. Great team effort! Thank you to the Lowe family for the lovely plant as well. The songs were so cute!
I was especially happy to see our tulips in bloom for your special day. It seems every year in our school's history - the tulips have come and gone by MDT. So happy they were here to grace the walkways. It bears repeating to thanks Mr. Jim and the elementary students for their superb gardening these last two years it has paid great dividends to how charming the school's grounds look.
Tomorrow I will be at the Department of Education in Concord attending another Non-Public School Advisory Council Meeting in the morning. I will not be available by phone or email till the afternoon. So if you are trying to reach me and I am not replying that is why. Also, don't call to report that you are going to be late. Just, in the case of Children's House, park in a parking space and walk your child upstairs to class or EL - make sure you are aware if the students are going to be at the soccer field (by 9am) or school.
With May comes the last of tuition payments for most families and a look to the returning families for the completion of financial obligations to complete the re-enrollment process for the 2017-2018 school year. For new families the same applies as to the tuition schedule. Mr. Jim and I are in the process of reviewing all new and existing accounts so we may reconcile them and get ourselves ready for the new school year. We will be rolling out a statement of any unpaid tuition, before, or aftercare fees due CVMS to the end of the school year aka June 16, 2017. If you are aware of any unpaid tuition or extracare fees, please resolve them ASAP for us so we may close your account.
After the accounts are closed for this year we will move on to the tuition payment due June 1, 2017 for the coming school year. While this payment often causes confusion for families, it is accepted in June of 2017 and is in actuality the June of 2018 tuition payment 10/10. September 1, 2017 we begin anew and accept 9 more tuition payments (if you are on the monthly schedule) at the 1st of each month September through May. Tuition is a yearly mount that we break into 10 payments for you.
As we look forward to continue our enrollment over the summer, please be aware we have a new incentive just for you! If you know of any families that are looking for a school for their children and a a result of your contact and referral, that new family enrolls - you are entitled to a $100.00 discount off of your first tuition payment in September! It is our way of saying "thank you" for referring Country Village Montessori School.
June Calendar
Our last calendar for the school year will be out this week. We will have a coffee and "Uniform Exchange Morning" on Sat. K3rd June. Remember that's where you can bring your uniforms to donate or exchange to the school. Please also note our 2nd Annual Music on the Playground tentatively scheduled for Wed. June 14th. This will also be Kindergarten Graduation, 6th Grade Graduation and Step up for everyone! More info to follow soon!
Summer camp starts right in on Monday June 19th. We will be closed the week of July 4th, unless anyone needs us, and then it'll run through the 18th of August. It's not too late to join in the summer fun! I know our first week's theme will be "Under the Sea" - where the Children's classroom will be studying fish and all sorts as well was getting new classroom fish! Crafts, stories, activities and academics all with a "watery" theme!
In the FYI Category
This information may be of interest to you, particularly if you've ever considered Montessori training yourself, or know someone who has. Please pass on the following: I am going to conduct a few short (3 hour) sessions on the various concerns of a Montessori Children's House class. These sessions will help fulfill some of the 20 hours of yearly professional training and development required of staff each year. My first two will be in how we teach Language (the Language curriculum) and the second is on The Practical Life area of the classroom/curriculum. Other sessions will be the Sciences and Geography and of course, the Arts. I will be offering it to the larger Montessori teacher community, too . The cost will be $20.00 per session. There will be information shared on how to extend these lessons in the home. A schedule will come out shortly. The Math curriculum needs a focus of its own and will occur at the beginning of the school year.
Noteworthy this week:
- Soccer tomorrow, weather permitting. Jim will be in communication with you if we need to cancel.
- Pen Pal Visit and Field Trip Fri.. May 19th. We'll need a few drivers/chaperones. This details will come home on a FT permission slip TOMORROW. Please look for it and send back ASAP.
- Science Fair participation forms (we only have three in so far).
- New Children Visit: Schedule your child's day visit with us if you'd like your child to spend a day in EL in June! (applies to those children registered for next school year).
- End-of-Year conferences are set to begin June 1st. We'll be sending progress reports home on the 30th. Let us know your preferences for time/day. We will make ourselves available after school and on weekends.
- Remember there is no school for Elementary students only on Friday, June 9th as Mr. Jim and I are out-of-town for a wedding.

Pupils are welcomed into Winifred Holtby Academy at the age of 11 following their successful transfer from Key Stage 2 into Key Stage 3.
Pupils are placed into Tutor Groups and Teaching Groups based on consultation and information that has been transferred between the schools. The Academy ensures all primary pupils who join us are given the opportunity to visit and familiarise themselves with the Academy environment and meet with the Form Tutor and key staff before they commence secondary education. To aid this process, all primary school pupils are invited to spend the final week of the summer term working as a pupil of Winifred Holtby Academy. This, according to research, is both innovative and forward thinking and reduces the fears and concerns which may arise over the long summer break.
The Academy works in close collaboration with partner primary groups within the neighbourhood, so that pupils benefit from planned curriculum continuity and the process of transfer is as smooth and effective as possible.
Pupils joining us are placed in schools within the Academy, thereby enabling us to tailor the teaching and learning to best fit the pupil's needs.
Home School Contract/Parent Charter
Any pupil joining Winifred Holtby Academy is expected to sign, along with their Parents/Carers and the Academy, the Home School Contract.
The Home School Contract is a document which aims to foster partnership between pupil, Parent/Carer and the Academy, by setting out clear expectations. The Home School Contract is designed in such a way that, if adhered to it, will ensure that pupils are given the maximum opportunity to achieve their potential.

RAHWAY, NJ — The public's focus on moving vehicles and government officials has now shifted to Rahway Mayor Samson Steinman.
According to police reports, Steinman was driving a vehicle registered to the city of Rahway on Aug. 26 with an expired license when he crashed into a parked car on Central Avenue at approximately 5:30 a.m. The report states that Steinman was driving westbound on Central approaching Pierpont Street when he swerved to avoid an animal, and in doing so, hit a parked car. The car belonged to Gregory Gonzalez on Central Avenue.
Steinman, a former DMV manager, received a ticket for driving with an expired license, for which he received a summons. His vehicle was later towed.
Steinman did not respond to LocalSource's request for comment.
The accident is the latest in a rash of motor-vehicle incidents involving public officials. In late July, Elizabeth Councilwoman Pat Perkins-Auguste was charged with driving an unregistered vehicle, as well as driving after a registration had been suspended or revoked. Later that same month, Hillside Mayor Angela Garretson was charged with disregarding an officer's hand signals, obstructing passage of vehicles, improper passing, talking on a cellphone and driving through a safety zone.
Responding Rahway Police Officer Michael Power did not issue a drug or alcohol test, according to the reports.
In the aftermath of the incident, rumors and innuendo surrounding the incident began to fly, with some media outlets reporting on the whereabouts of Steinman prior to the accident.
But according to Rahway Business Administrator Cherron Rountree, the rumors are false and cannot be substantiated by any reliable sources.
Rountree told LocalSource that the incident is being handled according to the usual protocol. "I can confirm that the mayor was in fact in an accident the morning of Friday, Aug. 26," Rountree said in an email. "Rahway Police Department responded to the scene and the mayor explained that he swerved out of the way in order to avoid hitting an animal and accidently hit a parked vehicle.
The vehicle that he was driving was registered to the city of Rahway. The mayor cooperated with the responding officers and the only violation that was found was an expired license for which he was issued a summons. We are handling this accident as we would handle any other accident involving a city employee and a registered city vehicle."
According to Rountree, recent reports in the news have turned the incident into an unsavory media circus filled with false accusations. "As you are aware, with the proliferation of commentary in today's digital world, rumors and innuendos spread quickly, creating false impressions of what really happened, said Rountree. "None of the other issues that you have raised were found to be the case by the responding officers. Other information relative to this incident has not been corroborated or substantiated."
Rountree also addressed rumors that she offered false statements regarding the incident in defense of the mayor. "As far as any allegations that I have made false statements with regard to the incident, such accusations are a distortion of what I said and are based on second-, and possibly third-party interpretations of my conversations."
None of the Rahway city council members responded to LocalSource's request for comment.

Each spring and summer, farmers markets from Acworth to Chattahoochee Hills open for the season, joining year-round markets like the ones in Peachtree City and Marietta. The shoppers are all interested in fresh, healthy food and supporting farmers, bakers and cheese makers they've come to know personally.
