1 small onion, thinly sliced
250g tomatoes
250g ripe peaches
1 tblsp olive oil
1 tblsp lemon juice
1 tblsp honey
30g feta cheese
salt and pepper
dried (or fresh) basil to garnish
Wash the tomatoes and peaches, and cut them into wedges, placing them in a serving dish with the thinly sliced onion pieces.
Mix the olive oil, lemon juice and honey, and pour over, tossing the main ingredients until coated and well-mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Chop the feta cheese into small chunks, and place in the middle, then sprinkle with basil.
Serve immediately.

I knew I had several peaches in the fridge, which weren't going to last much longer. I'd frozen lots of them, and wondered idly if I could use them as part of a salad. A quick online search led me to a recipe entitled Summer peach and tomato salad which sounded ideal, since I also had a couple of biggish tomatoes, and plenty of onions. I didn't have red onions, as the recipe suggested, but that didn't worry me.
Since my onions were large, I only used a half one, cutting very thin slices and then cutting those again. I was seriously dubious about mixing onions with peaches but I've learned, over the years, that the most unusual of combinations can work. Maybe.
I actually included about 300g peaches, using up the ripest ones. The original recipe talked about a specific kind of tomatoes, and asked for both beefy ones AND cherry ones. I simply had two ordinary tomatoes so used those.
I nearly always use lemon juice rather than vinegar, as I prefer it and it's more nutritious, and I misread the teaspoon of honey as a tablespoon... but I put it together, and tried it cautiously. It was absolutely delicious! Quite sweet, but the tartness of the feta offset that perfectly. We had a lettuce salad with it, and some other vegetable chunks, but we kept going back for more of this. The onion gave a crunchiness and extra flavour that somehow enhanced it.
I'm sure it would serve four people if it were part of a big meal, but two of us nearly finished it by ourselves. This is one we are definitely going to repeat, so long as peaches are in season.

"The department always try and help you in any way possible; organising lunch time revision sessions and generally always being available to ask questions" - TGGS Student
Our Physics course takes a content-led approach to the subject. This is a flexible approach where the specification is divided into topics, each covering different key concepts of Physics.
The diverse topics covered gives scope for a wide range of teaching and learning activities including practical work, class discussion and presentation, software modelling, student led demonstrations and peer teaching. Topics and lessons will be divided between two teachers.
We aim to encourage students to become responsible for their own learning, confident in discussing ideas, innovative and engaged. Lunchtime support sessions and A Level Physics workshops will also be organised and provided. Students are expected to purchase their own textbook.
For A Level only, the Practical Endorsement will also support the development of practical skills.
You can find out much more about Physics in the Sixth Form HERE.

Many months ago, I was asked to participate in a writing meme. Some of my writer friends—Naomi J. Williams, Melissa Ashley, Alison Quigley, and Zenobia Frost—had all been asked by other writers to answer the same series of questions about their forthcoming work. I was excited to be asked, but also a tiny bit uncomfortable, because parts of the activity ("answer the questions and then tag three other people") conjured up thoughts of chain letters—my discomfort around which I have written about elsewhere.
This is a roundabout and meandering way of explaining why I only just responded to the questions, eons (in internet meme time) after my friends first asked me to join in. I'm sorry for my tardiness, Naomi, Mel, Ali, and Zen, and hope you'll understand. This explanation might also clarify why I'm not tagging anyone else (but I do encourage other writers to answer the questions on their own blog, if they feel inclined). If you want to know which writers or blogs I am enjoying right now, look at the links at the bottom of this page. Here are the questions:
1. What is the working title of your current/next book?
My current book is Ghost Wife: A Memoir of Love and Defiance.
2. Where did the idea come from?
I suppose the book sprang from the 'love and defiance' of the title. I married my partner, Heather, in Toronto City Hall in December 2005. Since we couldn't officially marry in Australia, I decided to document our wedding journey as a way of making it visible. I didn't expect that the writing process would also unearth little-known stories about visibility and belonging from a range of places, including stories of my own family, and stories of other women who, decades and centuries ago, lived in marriage-like relationships in the cities and towns in which the book is set.
3. What genre does your book fall under?
It's a memoir.
4. What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
It would be an animated movie. An animated musical! I don't know who would voice Michelle and Heather, but I think we'd find a way to sneak Gillian Anderson in there somehow.
5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
When Michelle travels to Canada to marry her American partner, Heather, she begins to uncover hidden histories that are all around her, and to think about how they have come to shape her.
6. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Ghost Wife: A Memoir of Love and Defiance is published by Black Inc. My agent is Lyn Tranter at Australian Literary Management.
7. How long did it take to write your first draft?
That's a hard question to answer. Maybe two years.
8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
Memoirs that are quite meditative and that have a strong focus on another character or characters, apart from the autobiographical narrator. Some memoirs that I have really enjoyed, and that might fit in this category, include Alison Smith's Name All the Animals, Mark Doty's Heaven's Coast, and Mary Karr's The Liar's Club.
9. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
Many things inspired me, among them the work of queer theorists, feminist scholars and activists, autobiography scholars, and other memoirists. The work of historians who have researched and written about queer lives of the past was inspirational, as were the lives of the queer subjects themselves.
10. What else about the book might pique the reader's interest?
One reader said it's the first book she read in one sitting since reading the last Secret Seven book thirty years ago. If that doesn't pique your interest, I don't know what will.

Choosing a Microphone--The First Step
How do you choose the right microphone for a particular application?
First, consider what you are trying to mic and in what acoustic and physical environment. Here are some questions to ask:
- Do you need to mic music or speech? Nature sounds or the roar of race cars? An acoustic guitar or a Marshall amp? A singer belting out the blues or a child in a community play?
- Will the mic be used for sound reinforcement, video or audio recording, or both?
- And where will the microphone be used? Inside a quiet studio, on a theatrical stage, or out on a noisy street? Will you have to brave the elements of rain, sleet, snow, wind or beer-drinking fans at a football stadium?
- Does the mic need to stand up to physical abuse?
- How far away will the mic be positioned from the sound source that it needs to pick up. Close-up or at some distance?
- What about appearance? Does the mic need to fade from view for a video or theatrical production?
- Does the mic need to be wireless?
Once you have the answers to these types of questions, then you can start evaluating mic specifications, user reports, and application notes to help make your selection. More details to follow in future Audio Tips.

I was walking back to my house after checking the mail and noticed a plane flying overhead. Just behind the plane a little was what looked like a small round shiney object that followed in the same direction of the plane for a little while but at a slower pace. It slowed almost imperceptibly to a complete stop, then began moving north-east and it was at that time that I noticed a second object come in to view behind the first and they both sat their for some time before fading out of sight..

Outside of Japan, hentai (変態 or へんたい; listen English: ; lit. "pervert") is anime and manga pornography. In the Japanese language, however, "hentai" is not a genre of media but any type of perverse or bizarre sexual desire or act. For example, outside of Japan a work depicting lesbian sex might be described as "yuri hentai", but in Japan it would just be described as "yuri".
The word is short for hentai seiyoku (変態性欲), a perverse sexual desire. The original meaning of hentai in the Japanese language is a transformation or metamorphosis. The implication of perversion or paraphilia was derived from there. Both meanings can be distinguished in context easily.

I live in a town with many redeeming qualities. Unfortunately, a good bagel shop* is not one of them. As a native of Baltimore, and a former resident of Manhattan, I know a good bagel from a roll-with-hole, and I'd rather go without than eat Dunkin Donuts or Brueggers. Even the alleged H&H bagels at our local co-op are suspiciously, um, shitty.
Every time my mother comes up from Pikesville she brings us (or is it takes, mom?) a baker's dozen of Goldberg's Bagels. Once she had three dozen sent by mail, and for my book release party for A Mezuzah on the Door she shlepped six dozen in her carry-on luggage. (My mom is awesome.)
But every once in a while, when I really need a delicious bagel, warm from the oven, I make them myself. The recipe comes from a wonderful cookbook Bread Alone (that wonderful bakery stand at the Union Square Farmer's Market.) The publisher has kindly granted me permission to post the recipe, so here it is. My gift to you. Enjoy! And, apropos to nothing, did I mention that I have a post on kveller? Would you please check it out, perhaps in exchange for my spending 15 minutes typing up this recipe?
1 1/4 cups spring water
4 tsp moist or dry yeast
1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 T fine sea salt
21/2 – 3 cups of organic white flour
2 T barley malt syrup
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Note: I've copied the directions from the book. The author, Daniel Leader, is a lot fussier than I am, and I'm sure his bagels are even better. I must cop to often mixing the ingredients in the bread machine and skipping straight to the "cut the dough into 10 pieces" part.
Combine water and yeast in a 4 quart bowl. Let stand 1 minute, then stir with a wooden spoon until the yeast is dissolved. Add the whole wheat flour, salt and enough of the white four to make a thick mass that is difficult to stir. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead vigorously, adding more of the remaining flour when needed until dough is soft and smooth, 15 to 17 minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest on a lightly floured surface while you srape, cean and lightly oil the large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn the dough to coat the top with oil. Take the dough's temperature: the ideal is 78 degrees. Cover with a clean damp towel or plastic wrap and put in a moderately warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume and a slight indentation remians after pressing the dough with a fingertip.
Deflate the dough by pushing down in the center and pulling up on the sides Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Cut the dough into 10 pieces. Flatten each with the heel of your hand and shape into a tight 1 1/2 inch ball. Place on a lightly floured board, cover with a clean damp towel or plastic wrap and put in a moderately warm draft-free place for 10 minutes.
Roll and stretch each ball into a log 8 inches long. Wrap around your fingers to form a ring. Pinch the ends together then roll seam on work surface board. Place on a board, cover with a clean damp towel or plastic wrap and put in a moderately warm draft-free place for 10 minutes.
45 minutes to 1 hour before baking, preheat the oven and baking stone to 425 (note: I don't have one) on the center rack of the oven. The oven rack must be in the center of the oven.
Combine about 3 quarts of water and the barley malt syrup in a large saucepan. heat to boiling, then reduce to a light simmer. Place the bagels, 2 or 3 at a time, into the simmer water, turning after 30 seconds for each side. Remove with a slotted spon and drain on paper toweling. Repeat the process until all the bagels have been poached and drained.
Sprinkle a large bakig sheet with cornmeal and place the bagels 1 1/2 inches apart. Brush with a beaten egg white and bake at 425 until lighlty golden, 15-20 minutes.
*Before any locals cry foul, yes, Woodstar Cafe has very good bagels, but it's not a bagel shop.

1. How many times have you moved? When was the last time?
Let's see…from birth? Sixteen, not counting back and forth to university. Four of those were overseas moves (States to
The last time was the move to
2. What do you love and hate about moving?
I love the adventure of it—the sense of a new start, even if it's just down the hall or across town. The opportunity to clear out junk—both literal and metaphorical—and rearrange my home and my life. There's so much to discover and explore about the new place, that it almost makes up for the hassles.
I hate the unpacking and settling in—not being able to find anything, whether it's to wear or cook with. Well and the packing before, too.
I like things to be settled and to know where things are. You can't do that in the middle of a move.
3. Do you do it yourself or hire movers?
I've done both. With the overseas moves, we were moved by the gov'mint—my ex-husband was in the
For the shorter moves, I've done it myself, with the help of friends. They curse my book collection and my oak furniture. But I do pack well—almost everything is in boxes or containers.
It's a toss-up as to which is better. As I get older (cough) , I'm leaning more towards paying someone to help me.
4. Advice for surviving and thriving during a move?
Again as a veteran…and having moved with pets and a small child, I think I am qualified for this one!
- Take care of yourself—get your hair cut, meditate every day for an hour, get a massage, whatever it is that makes you feel good and strong. Trust me, you'll need it.
- Clear out the junk before you move. As soon as you know—are told, make the decision—that you will move, start immediately. This is when you get rid of the ragged towels and unfinished art projects and dried-up makeup and books you never read past the first chapter. Believe me, especially when you're paying for it, it's very discouraging to unpack things and think—"why did I bother moving this?"
- Get the pets and small kids (say, under 10) out of the place the day of the move. Life will be happier for everyone involved.
- Have a "no-go" room. This is where you put everything you don't want moved by the movers (whether they are professionals or your friends). If you want to move your computer, or Great-Aunt Tilly's china, or your cherished art yourself, this is where it goes. So do papers like insurance policies, pet health records, clothes and other things needed during the move—anything you will need to touch during the move. It can be a closet, too, but the key is a door that be firmly closed with a sign saying "Do Not Enter" in as many ways and languages needed.
- Be sure to have more than enough of whatever special stuff you need—diapers, pet food, medications, etc. And now is NOT the time to lose Junior's special blankie! Or to try potty training. Or to give up the binky.
- Don't be afraid to spoil yourself and your significant others a bit around the move. A new bedspread, pizza the night before the movers come, not starting to unpack the minute the movers finish unloading but instead taking a walk around the new neighbourhood—whatever you and your loved ones need to feel a bit special. There is plenty of time for frayed nerves and exhaustion.
- Last rooms to pack, first to unpack—kitchen and bathroom. The rest you can make do—these you need functional ASAP.
There—now I sound like a Family Morale Support Specialist on an Army base…
5. Are you in the middle of any inner moves of not outer ones?
I've been contemplating a move, mostly for financial reasons, to a smaller, cheaper place. Given my recent disastrous foray into housemates, it's my only real alternative for reducing my housing costs. The issues are the costs of moving itself, and finding a place where Mr. M would be mobile and accepted. So for the moment, I'm here.
Bonus: Movies/books, etc about moving.
Do you know, I couldn't really come up with one? Strange. The closest I can come is the opening of When Harry Met Sally and they're moving from
Thanks for this,
(and look, a whole post with no mention of Strong Heart...oops.)

Las Vegas Harri Style/
Meet Laura, Harri's 50,000th member. Last month, in celebration of this milestone, #TeamHarri sent Laura to Sin City as a token of our appreciation. We recently sat down with her to discuss her experience with Harri and what it was like to win a trip to Las Vegas. Read the interview below.
1. How did you first find out about Harri?
I was online searching for event work. I came across a job post and it directed me to Harri. The site was unlike any other hospitality site I've seen before so I decided to check it out.
2. What made you decide to become a Harri member?
With so many fantastic job opportunities and great companies hiring on Harri, I wanted to apply to many of them. I decided to become a member.
3. How would you rate the job seeking experience on Harri?
Harri is basically like a 1 stop shop for hospitality professionals. I love it! It's so easy. Create your profile, search tons of great jobs and then just click to apply. It's a lot better than using Craigslist. You can easily review companies to find the right fit for you.
4. Have you been hired through Harri?
As a matter of fact yes. After registering, I created a profile, filled in in my work experience and added professional photos to my Harri portfolio. I applied for several jobs and then began receiving messages from employers.
After interviewing, I was hired at the Standard. I initially came to Harri seeking event coordinator opportunities but with so many great jobs available, I ended up with a fantastic bartender job instead. My coworker at the Standard was also hired through Harri so it's definitely working.
5. Would you recommend Harri to fellow hospitality professionals?
I actually recommended it recently to a girl I met at the bar. She just moved to New York from LA and is looking for work in the hospitality industry so I told her to check out Harri. Everyone I know asked me about my Vegas trip. So I told them that Harri not only got me a great job, I also won the trip.
6. How it feel to find out you were Harri's 50,000th member?
I was in total shock, I was like, "Is this for real?" It's kind of funny because I actually waited to make my profile. I was searching for a job late at night and I didn't make my profile until the following morning because I was tired. Turns out I end up winning something I wasn't aware of and it was really cool. The entire process was totally random: a combination of fate & luck or being at right place, at the right time I guess.
It was also great meeting everyone at #TeamHarri. You guys are awesome.
7. What was it like learning you were going to Vegas?
I screamed! I was super excited and started jumping up and down. Then I had to figure out if either my boyfriend or best friend were coming with me, so I held a contest between the two of them to see who was going to make the cut <laughs>.
I've been to Vegas once before, so this time around I already knew where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do and what I wanted to see. I was looking forward to visiting again.
8. How was your trip?
Oh my, it was so much fun! We didn't want to leave. We went to a bunch of nice restaurants and gambled a little.
9. Vegas is known for being on the wild side. Did you party?
Yes, we went to 1Oak one night. There was a disco party going on. It happens monthly and every time there is a different theme. When we went, it was circus themed so there were people dressed up as clowns, circus performers etc. It was crazy.
10. Being that you're a part of the hospitality industry, did you tell anyone in Vegas about Harri?
People saw me taking photos with the Harri 50K sign all over town so I definitely got asked questions by random people and especially the showgirls. I told them I was Harri's 50,000th member and that I was in town because I won a trip.
Update: Harri now has over 60,000 members!
You too can become the next Harri success story.

Top eco-friendly alternatives to vinyl flooring
I always recommend keeping the floor you've already got as the most sustainable flooring choice. But for many of us that's not possible, as is the case with my parents who've had to remove the tile in their bathroom in order to replace the tub and change the footprint of the room. They're looking for an inexpensive flooring material; vinyl is of course the cheapest and most readily available option.
But beware vinyl flooring.
Here's why:
-Vinyl is made of PVC and off-gasses in your home. What you are breathing in can hurt your lungs, contribute to asthma and potentially lead to even more serious health conditions over a long exposure time.*
-All of that PVC creates a huge environmental impact, from manufacturing right through to disposal, since it is not recylcable and does not break down.
-It won't last as long as other more durable options, meaning over the long run it will cost you as much as other materials anyway.
* Let me state that the vinyl industry is working on improvements to the material that will lessen both the health and environmental impacts, so hopefully good things are on their way. By doing some research I did find that Armstrong has come out with a vinyl flooring product that emits lower VOCs, so that is a step in the right direction.
4 inexpensive alternatives to vinyl flooring
1. Cork.
Cork comes is sustainable because it comes from a rapidly renewable source, but of course you must weigh how far it's been shipped to get to you. Cork can easily be installed as a click-together floating floor or as glued-down tiles. It's naturally insulating, so is warm on the tootsies, and it's impermeable to liquid - perfect for bathrooms or kitchens. I wrote more about using cork here. Stylish options can be found at hardware and flooring stores, and also online. Cost: $3-12 per sqft.
2. Linoleum.
Yep, this is the stuff that is under three other layers of flooring in houses dating back into the 19th and early half of the 20th centuries. It's making a comeback. Made from linseed oil, powdered cork, powdered wood, limestone, jute and pine, linoleum is catching on as a sustainable flooring option. The raw materials are rapidly renewable, and it is recyclable - even biodegradable, given enough time. Though a bit more expensive than vinyl, it will hold up to heavy traffic, lasting for many years. Can be more tricky to install though, and you may want to use a professional. Marmoleum is one of the most readily available brands, and has a great overview here. Cost: $3-7 per sqft.
3. Reclaimed hardwood.
A popular style right now, using reclaimed planks for a bath is an option that saves on buying new material, and will last forever. Water resistant and comfy, reclaimed wood can simply be covered with a water based sealer to let the natural beauty shine through, or painted to create a country cottage look. Easy to find and install. Cost: $0-5 per sqft, depending on availability in your area.
4. Recycled-content tile.
Ceramic, porcelain, glass and even cement tile that has a high recycled-material content is becoming more available and in more style options. Durable and with a long life-cycle, recycled-content tile can be a sustainable option. As long as you can rent a tile cutter, it's pretty easy to install. Can be cold on the feet though. Cost: $5-15 per sqft.
Choosing sustainable flooring for better indoor air quality and to lessen environmental impact will be healthy for both your family and the planet. With such stylish and cost-effective options available, how can you not?

- Page 4 Philips Cineos 37PF9731D Review
- Page 5 Philips Cineos 37PF9731D Review
- Page 6 Feature Table Review
Now, don't go thinking that you're going to have to feed the 37PF9731D a high definition diet to get good results, because it works its magic just as convincingly on standard definition sources. Using the TV's built-in digital tuner, the 37PF9731D turned in some of the best looking Freeview images I've ever seen. And this is a very important point, since we're all going to be watching a lot of standard definition TV for some time to come.
But everything wasn't absolutely perfect. I found that if I chose to watch a Sky HD movie that was presented in an anamorphic widescreen format at say 2.35:1 and wanted to view it in its native aspect ratio, the 37PF9731D obliged, but it also displayed a bright green line at the top of the screen. Absolutely no amount of fiddling could get rid of this line and the only solution was to switch the picture mode to Auto and allow the TV to zoom the image to fill the screen. Having spoken to Philips it appears that this problem is due to the 1:1 pixel mapping employed by the 37PF9731D. If a source isn't outputting the entire 1080 lines (as it appears the Sky HD box isn't) then missing data presents itself as a green line.
The simplest solution to this problem would surely be to just not twist the pixels that aren't receiving data, which would leave that line black rather than green, and would be pretty much unnoticeable. Interestingly, this issue didn't present itself when I played a Blu-ray movie on the 37PF9731D, so it would definitely seem to be a source specific problem.
But the 37PF9731D has one more little trick up its sleeve, Ambilight. As I'm sure you're aware, watching TV in a totally dark room doesn't give you the best experience and also isn't very good for you. What Ambilight does is throw ambient light around the TV itself, thus creating the perfect viewing environment. The colour of the light also changes to match the image on the screen. Now, I have to say that I was very sceptical about Ambilight, thinking that it was just a gimmick to differentiate Philips TVs from the competition, but having lived with the 37PF9731D in my living room for the past couple of weeks I have become a bit of a convert. Turning the lights off and turning Ambilight on really does create a more pleasant and immersive viewing environment. You can even tailor the intensity of the Ambilight to suit your own personal taste.
The design of this TV is also first rate, so it's just as good to look at when it's switched off as it is when it's delivering those stunning pictures. The glossy black bezel sets of the screen well and highlights the Ambilight effect, while the speaker bar below the screen adds to the overall aesthetics rather than spoiling them. The large glass base gives the whole package a modern and stylish look and allows for very smooth panning. If there's one problem with the base, it's that it's very wide, which means that you won't be able to use it with some AV stands. That said, if ever a TV was designed to be wall mounted it's this one!

"Shut the ffffffffffffffffffffffront door!"
…………………………………………………….was Lincoln's exclamation to some news recently. About half way through the 'Shut the f…" I momentarily lost consciousness "what!?" my mind was saying. Thankfully, he didn't say what I thought he was about to and my heart and lungs began operating as normal again.
Later in the day as I reflected on that, I was thinking about other funny sayings. Like: "I don't give a rat's ass." Now, let me ask you, who, why, how did that saying ever come to be?? By the way, I love to say it when Wesley and I are disagreeing over an issue. (I think I got that from my mother!) It goes something like, "I don't give a rat's ass how much it costs, we don't need xyz!" My mother would say, "I don't give a rat's ass if everyone's doing it, if every body jumped off a cliff, would you?!" Hahaha, it still makes me laugh!
And what about 'Slap yo Momma!" Most of the time 'slap yo momma' is used in reference to something being favorable. "It was slap-yo-momma good!" Keeping that in mine this
Slow Cooker Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread
is "Slap Yo Momma Good!!!"
It is really just too good to be true!
My weakness is Cinnamon Rolls. Any shape or form of Cinnamon Rolls and I'm like a kid on Christmas morning!
I recently had Slow Cooker week on the blog, which really got me thinking. A slow cooker is a great time-saving and electricity-saving appliance to have. I love the Slow Cooker Oats for breakfast. With that in mind, I set out to create something fantastic. (Trust me, if you follow me on instagram, my recent waffle experiment was a total disaster. I needed success here!)
These are Shut-the-front-door-slam-yo-momma good!!!
- 2 can crescent rolls
- 1/2 c cinnamon chips
- 4 T butter melted
- 1/2 c white sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick spray and heat on high while you're prepping the ingredients.
- Combine sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Unroll crescent roll and sprinkle cinnamon chips over the dough. Roll dough starting with long side. Pinch edges and ends to seal.
- Using a serrated knife, cut dough in center, cut each of those sections in the center continueing until you have 1 inch even slices.
- Dip each piece of dough in butter then in sugar cinnamon mixture, place in slow cooker evenly. Try not to have them bunched up in the middle. The rolls on the bottom and sides will cook faster. After making one layer on bottom, try to stack around edge of slow cooker leaving center open.
- Pour any remaining butter and sugar mixture on top of rolls.
- Turn the slow cooker to low and cook for 2 hours. Start checking them at 1 1/2 hours, you may need to rotate some of them from the edge to the center using tongs or a fork.
When removing the lid, do let the condensation drip back into the slow cooker.When the rolls are done, remove all of them from the slow cooker. Once they begin to cool, they'll stick.Recipe original from Paula at Call Me Pmc © 2012 – 2013 CallMePMc.com – All Rights Reserved "All recipes and images are original and the sole property of CallMePMc.com © 2012-2013, with all rights reserved.

To all readers (especially the female ones), a very happy #InternationalWomensDay to you! As an aspiring creative professional in a very niche market, it gets pretty hard at times breaking through the clutter. But somehow from my experiences, I get the feeling that it's even harder to be taken seriously as a baby-faced young lady. I've slogged long and hard at this game and clocked in the hours, but especially as I up the ante in trying to turn this hustle into a career, I've met with obstacles that should not be there.
My drive taken for insolence, my kindness taken for granted, my experience exchanged for envy and blocked opportunities, my youth and feminine appearance mistaken for amateurishness. More and more, as I witness the ugly side of this industry do I wonder to myself; 'If I were a strapping young man, would I be facing these exact situations?' If I were a boy, would my drive be admired, my kindness praised, my experience applauded? Would envy dissipate and grant me the opportunities I deserve? But alas, all these 'what ifs' create are self pity and doubt. What use would that be?
So to all the girls out there with a great idea in their heads, with a passion that cannot be snuffed, believe in the potential of your voice. Having a voice does not mean literally having to stand up and speak, or having your writings published. To have a voice means to stand up for what you believe in, to speak when no one else has the courage to. Be brave, and don't be afraid of how other people see you. Sit in the front row of the classroom by yourself, ask for the opportunities you desire, be a strong, goddamn independent woman. Because progress is progress, no matter how big or small. By having your voice heard, prove your mettle to the rest of the world and soon enough, us girls will truly run the world. Happy Women's Day <3
When people hear that I'm a music reviewer, often the first question they have is "How do you appreciate so many different kinds of music?" Believe me, I had the same question for myself when I first tried my hand at reviewing albums. It seemed like such a huge feat that I was most certainly under-prepared for to treat different types of music objectively and appreciate them equally. Of course, I didn't always start out loving all kinds of music, initially I was most inclined towards R&B and Pop, and it took years of patient listening and maturity as a person for me to immerse myself into different genres. Here's a rough timeline of how my musical tastes have expanded over the years:
2007: R&B, Pop
2008: Initial appreciation for Rap and Hip hop
2009: Further appreciation for Hip hop
2010: Grew an appreciation for Rock & Easy listening/Folk
2011: Developed an appreciation for Jazz
2012: Got into Alternative Rock/Folk Rock and Brit Rock
2013: Initial appreciation for Electronic Dance Music
2015: Deeper appreciation for independent genres and Jazz, and gained an increased appreciation for EDM music
2016: Gained a greater love for Rap music, EDM, Reggae and Indie music in general
So as you can see, my appreciation for music and different styles of it has grown over time, and is still growing and changing every single day. Some of my appreciations of genres were love at first sight (rock, folk) but with some others such as alternative rock, they were slow to take shape but got there in the end! I do not claim to be an expert on any of the genres that I love, but as a music reviewer I believe its important to have a base of knowledge and understanding of how different genres have come to be, and what characteristics artists who are inclined towards these genres share.
However, my appreciation for a wide range of genres did not happen organically, nor overnight. Some songs from different genres I may have immediately taken a liking to, but for others, it took perseverance and persistence. I managed to discipline myself by taking a critical approach to every song that I listened to. Rather than just listening once and from there deciding whether I liked it or not, I listened again, again, and again (and wore out many MP3 players in the process). If I didn't like the song, I would ask myself why and listen carefully to pinpoint what exactly it was about the particular song which led me to dislike it. Was it bias that had led me to immediate dislike for a song? And likewise, if I liked a song, what was it about the melody, lyrics or arrangement which had attracted me to it? If theoretically speaking it wasn't a good song but I liked it anyway, was I being biased due to a particular artist's participation on the track? All in all, I constantly pushed myself to find justification that was relevant rather than arbitrary for my attitude towards every song. This constant questioning and critiquing of each piece of music I listened to led to an increased need for answers that I usually didn't have. So that meant listening to every piece of music and researching the characteristics and histories of different genres and contexts until I had an answer that I was satisfied with. In this way, finding an answer for why I felt the way I did gave me a greater appreciation for each of the different genres of music that I listened to, because I then had a better understanding of the way they were created and why they were created in that particular way. (On a side note, now you know why album reviews take me so long!)
I am alive.
Not going to lie, it's been a trying couple of months for me. Recently I've come to realise the fact that I'm not perfect (obviously, I know but it only finally hit me), and that I have faults which are hard for me to come to terms with. It's been wreaking havoc in my mind over the past few days, making me think if certain situations came to be that way due to issues with my personality. Sometimes I guess my anxiety just gets the best of me and I start to speed up, working at a superhuman pace that others can't keep up to. I used to think that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but really what's the point of living in a world with other people when you're off in your own world by yourself right? Anyway, due to this situation there were many confrontations and negative (but constructive) criticisms that came out of it. After going through stages of shock and denial, I'm slowly trying to use my own methods to come to terms with my faults, letting go of the past and trying to incorporate all the advice I've received into a solid direction for me to move forward towards. But it's definitely much harder that I thought, and I'm not gonna lie-it's an internal struggle that has caused more than a few tears and a hell of a lot of frustration with myself in the process.
Nothing seems to be really helping to make it go away-not even really Chinese music, which has helped me through so many hard times previously. I was beginning to give up, resigned to lolling around in bed and watching endless useless YouTube tutorials until those feelings and memories of bad experiences suppressed themselves enough to make me feel better, until I rediscovered JJ Lin's duet with Jason Mraz called "I am Alive". Nothing was able to truly make me feel better except this song. It encompasses everything I feel right now; helpless in a dynamic and changing environment where I am no longer in control, trying my best but still failing so many time that it's cumulated into a feeling of loneliness. But despite its softness in approach, the lyrics and simple and strong, telling me that I DO have what it takes to hold on. It affirmed me in a way that no one could, comforting me by embracing me heart and soul. It tells me that I am brave and strong, loveable and invincible. Essentially, it was just what I needed to get up and keep on trying. Personally, I think it's the perfect coalescence of JJ and Mraz's personalities in this song which did it for me; JJ's optimism and drive, and Mraz's serenity and stability. As I write this, I can honestly say I'm not 100% better yet. But that's okay, because I'm still alive, and I'll get through this. For anyone out there having a hard day, this message and this song is for you. I hope you feel better soon.
As many followers on this blog may know, I've long been on a soul-searching journey to find out why exactly I love Chinese music so much. I've previously written articles digging deeper into this subject, but felt that in terms of why I loved Chinese music, there was certainly an element still missing and yet to be discovered.
But in a lightbulb moment I had yesterday, I realised that the REAL reason I have continued to love this music so much was not because of its uniqueness (because upon delving deeper there has been certainly much left desired in terms of the quality of their music), but because of a more personal reason; a flaw my brain subconsciously overlooks. Escapism.
When I started getting into Chinese music, it was an awkward time in my existence (12 years old, the epitome of awkward adolescence). There were many things happening around me that I didn't want to deal with, so I used music as a buffer to shut things out. Because I enjoyed listening to it so much, it allowed me to escape into a different world. Instead of being in a reality where I perceived myself to have no friends and where nothing of interest to me could happen, I surrounded myself with music so much so that the artists I listened to became my friends, the songs they sang became stories shared and their albums became my life lessons. It was escapism at its best.
But the tangible use of Chinese music was not the only way I used it to escape. I used to believe that there was nothing interesting about me, nothing different. I didn't know who I was and no matter how I tried to look, I always came to a dead end. But I stubbornly believed in the art of naming; my name Jocelle was unique, and I would not let my parents down by being anything other than such. So instead of following the same trends of other teenagers, bowing to peer pressure, doing what they did, I decided to use Chinese music and the Chinese language to reinvent myself on a clean new slate. P.S. I'm pretty sure this isn't a healthy way to go about finding yourself, but I am merely telling my story, so others may find resonance in my words.
Anyway, continuing on! I learned Chinese because I felt it was logical to learn the language of my heritage, but at the same time I have now realised that it meant much more than that to me. Shying away from the remnants of my Singaporean accent left in my voice (yes, I still do have a
Singaporean accent after staying in Australia for half my life), I didn't wish to be judged by how I sounded, placed in the 'Asian FOB' group and being expected to have the same ideals and hobbies as them. So taking the opportunity of learning the language all over again, I used it as a gateway to present myself how I wanted to be presented. This is probably why although I speak with a Singaporean accent in English, my friends say I speak with an ABC accent in Chinese. I wanted a better way to represent my passion for bridging gaps between the East and the West, especially in my music.
I became an embodiment of Chinese music because I wanted to show those around me that there was much more to Asians than just 'The Azn group'. To break down the walls of preconceptions that only Chinese speaking people can listen to Chinese music. I value now what living in both Australia and Singapore have taught me. From living in Singapore, I learnt to always value where I came from, and to treasure my mother tongue. From Australia, I instead learnt the meaning of creativity and critical thinking, which effectively helped me to coalesce all my views into a dream to help promote Chinese music to a Western audience.
Although I was never bullied in school, it was clear to me that racial stereotypes were very much in place. And I wanted to change that, by being a model of how Asians are much more than maths geniuses and physics whizzes. More than anything, I felt insignificant, and I wanted to change that. Making a difference in the world before I leave it was always something at the foremost of my mind when I started this, and still is. Music is a universal language that can have the power to start a revolution, and to provoke acceptance of ideas others would never accept otherwise. So this is how I choose to make meaning within my life.
As you can see, at the start of my journey I used Chinese music as a wall to hide behind and to disconnect myself from the rest of the world. But in doing so, I actually found myself on the other side, if that makes sense. So I'm happy that for good or bad, it has made me who I am today. Someone who although is still on a path of self-discovery, is truly proud of her own achievements and is able to rise above petty comparisons to make a difference and create value for the world.

Taiwan's Huang Brothers, Part 2: Teaching Taiwan Startups to Rock/
In our last segment about Armorize founders Wayne and Matt Huang, we brought you the tale of two brothers who successfully built a Taiwan-based international cybersecurity firm that was acquired in 2013 by Proofpoint. The Huangs' success makes for an inspirational story for new startup founders in Taiwan, but the brothers aren't content to simply sit by while the next generation finds its way. Instead, they've started giving back to the Taiwan startup ecosystem.
MOSA: A brand new startup conference in Taipei
This year, Wayne served as Voluntary Program Chair and Matt served as a moderator and panelist at MOSA, Taiwan's premiere international startup conference held in October.
Throughout 2015, Wayne worked alongside the programming committee led by the kickass Changee team to identify the speakers who could make the greatest contribution to the discussion of entrepreneurship in Taiwan. Contrary to what you'd expect from a typical tech conference, Wayne hoped strongly to highlight failure as much as success. "If Taipei City becomes a place that embraces failure and mistakes, then it can become a real hub for entrepreneurship, both for startups and for enterprises."
Thus, Wayne was proud to have the privilege of leading MOSA's opening fireside chat with Larry Ho, whose company Inforian famously crashed and burned in 2001 when the dot-com bubble burst. Unlike in the US, where serial entrepreneurship is a badge of honor, it's hard for founders in Taiwan to come back from failure. But that's precisely what Ho has accomplished with his latest company, Light Harmonic.
Wayne says that Ho exemplifies the spirit he hopes Taiwanese entrepreneurs can truly embrace, moving beyond failure and coming back for more. "What I really want to do is make Taipei City a place that will embrace failure," he says. "The fact is that most of these startups will fail, and that doesn't matter. You move along and start another one."
SilverLink-Aranya Founders Fund: Investing in Taiwan's future
In 2015, the Huang brothers came together with fellow industry veterans Andrew Tsuei and John Chi of SilverLink Capital to form SilverLink-Aranya Founders Fund, a USD $50 million seed stage fund to invest in Taiwan's next generation of entrepreneurs. The goal behind SilverLink-Aranya is to support Taiwanese startups that have set their sights beyond Taiwan, particularly those planning to enter the US or China markets.
How does SilverLink-Aranya decide where to invest? According to Matt Huang, "The main criteria is about the founders, whether they have it in their blood." The fund is special in that all four people who've contributed to the fund are entrepreneurs themselves, and thus they bring their own experiences into the mix.
"When we meet with these teams, I feel that we bring a lot of value to the table. We spend a lot of time with our teams. That's the value we bring," says Wayne. What's more, given that there are no outside contributors to the fund, SilverLink-Aranya is not under pressure to bring profits to investors. This means that more energy can be devoted to long-term growth over short-sighted profit goals. "It's not about making money. It's about making an impact," says Wayne.
Under General Manager Johnson Sher, former president of HTC, the fund has in its first months distributed more than USD $2 million to early stage Taiwan startups. Among the 6 investments the fund has made so far is DeepBlu, which will soon bring to market its Triton wearable diving companion, as well as an international sharing platform for divers. Wayne first met DeepBlu CEO Brad Chen during TSS Accelerator Bootcamp Squad 1 in June 2015, and has worked closely with its team to expand the company's vision while capitalizing on its founders' hardware backgrounds and love of diving. Other investments include early-stage startups like Installments, Trigger, and Niceday, and both Matt and Huang are always on the lookout for talented young teams with global spirit they themselves had as they began Armorize.
Rocking with TSS
Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't also acknowledge the contributions Wayne and Matt have made to the Taiwan Startup Stadium community. Their efforts have not only included serving as mentors to founders, but also as supporters of the TSS mission to push Taiwan startups to go global. Through these contributions, on top of their work with both MOSA and SilverLink-Aranya, it's clear that the Huangs out to shake things up in Taiwan, and they're just getting started!

Press release
The ÅF Group - Summary of Annual Report for 2005
- Net sales rose to SEK 2,269 million (2004: SEK 2,136 million)
- Profit after net interest income/expense rose to SEK 222 million (SEK 31 million)
- Profit after tax totalled SEK 204 million (SEK 36 million)
- Earnings per share were SEK 34.31 (SEK 6.13)
- The Board proposes a shareholders' dividend for 2005 of SEK 5.00 per share (SEK 2.60)
A few words from the President, Jonas Wiström
Developments were positive for ÅF in 2005. We consolidated our position in the market, improved earnings in all of the Group's divisions and concluded the sale of ÅF's property portfolio on favourable terms. Since the end of the reporting period new acquisitions have been made that have expanded the Group's workforce by a total of around 450, with the addition of new employees in Finland, Sweden, the Baltic states and Russia.
Our decision to establish the new Process and Infrastructure divisions has borne fruit. Merging five divisions into two has created more synergies than anticipated and, together with better conditions in the market, this has made a significant contribution to our improved earnings. ÅF-Kontroll continues to capture new shares of the market, mostly as a result of organic growth, and has reported its best ever financial result. The Systems Division finished the year somewhat more strongly than expected and in January 2006 sold its PX-Solutions business to Visma.
The weak fourth-quarter result for the Process Division was due to lower levels of capacity utilisation as two major paper industry projects drew to a close. However, the order books are strong and I believe this was merely a temporary dip in earnings. The division's profits were also reduced by dismissal costs of SEK 7 million. Claes-Inge Isacson, who took up the post as new divisional manager on 1 January 2006, brings with him to the ÅF Group many years of international experience both from industry and from technical consulting.
Capacity utilisation (the proportion of time debitable to clients relative to the time that all the Group's employees spend at work) rose by three percentage points to 71.5 percent.
In January ÅF acquired Finland's leading energy consulting company, Enprima. The acquisition is another step in ÅF's strategy of establishing an international presence in process consulting in order to meet the demands of an increasingly globalised client market. Today ÅF has almost 800 employees working from the Group's offices outside Sweden, compared with less than 200 a mere three years ago.
Against the background of our strong position in the market and the good demand for ÅF's services in most areas of business, our goal for 2006 is to continue the trend of improved earnings and increased margins and to grow at a faster pace than the industry as a whole.
Important events during the fourth quarter of 2005
ÅF was commissioned by E.ON Sverige to conduct detailed project planning work for natural gas pipelines between the cities of Linköping and Norrköping, south-west of Stockholm. ÅF was also commissioned to carry out preliminary project planning work for natural gas pipelines along a stretch from Västerås to Grycksbo, to the west of the Swedish capital.
ÅF was appointed turn-key contractor for all the installation systems for Rögle BK ice hockey club's training facilities (Gripenhallen) in Ängelholm in the south of Sweden. ÅF will carry out the project as a sub-contractor to Peab.
ÅF also announced plans to bring together most of its employees in the Stockholm region (approximately 900 people) under one roof in a new main office complex at Haga Norra, one of the main northern approaches to the city. The construction company Skanska will build and lease out the premises, which will be ready for occupancy by October 2008.
Acquisitions and disposals during the fourth quarter
ÅF reached agreement regarding the acquisition of Ericsson's Design Centre in Lysekil on the Swedish west coast. The 21 employees there work with radio-related systems development and software development for WCDMA (3G) and GSM technologies. The takeover was finalised on 1 January 2006 and the business was consolidated into the Systems Division.
Acquisitions and disposals after the end of the reporting period
ÅF reached agreement with Visma on the sale of its software operations, PX Business Solutions, with some 25 employees. The sale will generate a capital gain for the ÅF Group of SEK 19 million. This will have a positive effect on the Group's earnings for the first quarter of 2006.
ÅF acquired Ingemansson Technology AB from Lindeblad Technology. Ingemansson, Scandinavia's leading technical consulting firm in the field of sound and vibrations, employs 130 people. The purchase price was SEK 53 million, half in cash and half in the form of a new issue of ÅF shares, as authorised in principle by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders in the ÅF Group (28 April 2005). The new share issue will dilute capital by approximately 1.8 percent and the number of votes by 1.1 percent. Ingemansson's operations were consolidated into the Infrastructure Division with effect from 1 February 2006.
ÅF reached agreement on the acquisition of Enprima by purchasing shares from Fortum Power & Heat Oy, Powest Oy, BE&K International Inc and the management of the company. Enprima is a leading name in the energy consulting industry with international business operations and its own offices in Finland, the Baltic states and Russia. The company has a total of some 270 employees, 200 of them in Finland. Sales for 2005 are anticipated to be in the region of EUR 27 million. Settlement for the takeover is to be effected in cash, based on a company value assessed at approximately EUR 13 million. It is anticipated that the company's consulting business will be consolidated into the Process Division's operations with effect from 1 April 2006.
Sales and profits
Net sales totalled SEK 2,269 million (2004: SEK 2,136 million). Sales for the fourth quarter totalled SEK 586 (588) million.
Operating profit for the year was SEK 226 (37) million. The operating margin was 9.4 (1.7) percent. If the figure for "other operating income" is excluded, the operating margin was 4.0 (0.6) percent. Fourth-quarter profits were SEK 150 million (compared to a loss of SEK 16 million in the fourth quarter of 2004) and the operating margin was 20.7 (-2.7) percent. If the figure for "other operating income" is excluded, the operating margin for the fourth quarter was 2.3 (-2.7) percent
The sale of the ÅF Group's head office in Stockholm (officially designated Härolden 44) had a positive effect of SEK 136 million on net profits for the fourth quarter.
Costs incurred in conjunction with dismissal notices had a negative effect of SEK 7 million on fourth-quarter earnings.
Capacity utilisation (expressed as invoiced-time ratio) was 71.5 (68.5) percent over the year as a whole, and 70.5 (68.6) percent during the final quarter.
Group consolidated profit after net financial items totalled SEK 222 (31) million, yielding a profit margin of 9.2 (1.4) percent. If the figure for "other operating income" is excluded, the profit margin was 3.8 (0.4) percent. After net financial items, the fourth quarter saw a profit of SEK 149 million (as opposed to a loss of SEK 17 million for the corresponding period in 2004), to give a profit margin of 20.7 (-2.9) percent. If the figure for "other operating income" is excluded, the profit margin for the fourth quarter was 2.3 (-2.9) percent.
Earnings per share for the year as a whole rose to SEK 34.31 (6.13), while EPS for the fourth quarter was SEK 25.28 (-1.43).
Divisional performance
Infrastructure Operating margin 12 months: 7.3% (6.0%)
The market for infrastructure consulting services remained strong throughout 2005. The division has benefited from an improving market for the construction and property industries, while major investments in the Swedish road and rail sectors have also played their part in high levels of employment for the division's consultants. The division captured new shares of the market in installations and the rail sector last year. It is also worthy of note that the telecom business, where the division maintains a firm focus on telecom operators and the defence industry, also chalked up a significant improvement in results for 2005.
Process Operating margin 12 months: 3.5% (2.0%)
The Process Division noted a slight slowdown in business towards the end of the year. Two major paper industry projects were brought to a close during the second half, releasing more consultants and thus reducing overall levels of capacity utilisation, At the same time business in Finland was still suffering in the aftermath of the paper strike there earlier in the year. The markets which showed the greatest interest in investing in energy, pulp and paper facilities were the Baltic states, Russia, South America and Asia. Costs incurred in conjunction with dismissal notices had a negative effect of SEK 7 million on fourth-quarter earnings.
Systems Operating margin 12 months: 0.6% (-13.4%)
The Systems Division improved profitability and implemented a raft of changes during the second half of the year which are expected to pave the way for further improvements in earnings in the months ahead. In a move to boost growth in Systems more than 50 highly qualified new members of staff were recruited to the workforce between the summer and the end of the year, some as a result of takeovers, but others as part of the division's programme for organic growth. A strategic focus on increased sales activities and new recruitment had a positive effect on earnings for the fourth quarter.
ÅF-Kontroll Operating margin 12 months: 10.5% (7.6%)
ÅF-Kontroll captured new market share and reported good profitability after posting growth of more than 15 percent for 2005 as a whole. Growth was strongest in inspections, but demand has stabilised at a good level in all three business areas: inspections, testing and certification. The individual market area behind the best growth was the nuclear power industry. The purchase of Force Technology's lift inspection business had a positive effect on earnings from the fourth quarter onwards.
Gross investments in machinery and equipment during year totalled SEK 44 (49) million.
Cash flow and financial status
The cash flow for the year was SEK 67 (83) million. Before shareholders' dividends and the amortisation of loans, cash flow was SEK 280 (109) million.
The sale of certain of the Group's premises had a positive effect of SEK 280 million on cash flow for the fourth quarter.
The cash flow for the fourth quarter before shareholders' dividends and the amortisation of loans was SEK 331 (35) million.
The ÅF Group's liquid assets totalled SEK 242 (175) million at the end of the reporting period.
Equity per share was SEK 97.50 and the Group's equity/assets ratio was 47.6 percent. These figures compare with figures of SEK 66.00 and 30 percent respectively at the beginning of the year.
Parent company
Parent company sales totalled SEK 147 (129) million, yielding a profit after net financial items of SEK 172 million (compared to a loss of SEK 5 million in 2004).
Accounting principles
This interim report for the Group has been drawn up in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The company's Annual Report for 2004 includes a description of the accounting principles that are affected by the transition to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For a description of the accounting principles applied by the company in its interim report for the third quarter of 2005, you are referred to the section "Convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)" in the Annual Report for 2004. It states there that IFRS will be applied with effect from 2005, and that the comparison figures in respect of 2004 have been recalculated in line with the new principles, with the exception of those which apply to financial instruments. Under the transitional rules for IFRS, the new principles apply to financial instruments solely in those parts of the accounts which relate to 2005. In the accounts for 2005 a change has been made from the principles used in 2004 for reporting pension provisions. In accordance with the amendments made to IAS 19, the company has made use of the opportunity permitted to recognise actuarial gains and losses directly in equity. The figures for 2004 have not been recalculated as the actuarial loss per 31 December 2004 was immaterial. In conjunction with the transition to IAS 39, the cash flow model will be applied to hedge accounting with effect from 2005. Hedge accounting means that the introduction of IAS 39 has had only a marginal impact on the income statement. The effect on the balance sheet has been negligible as the fact that the majority of payments are made in local currency means that foreign exchange risks are limited. With effect from 2005 tax on the proportion of associated companies of SEK 2 (2) million is recognised in the accounts as an operating expense rather than a tax expense. The corresponding alteration has been made to the figures for 2004.
Transition to IFRS 2005: the effects on income statements, balance sheet and equity are explained in the appendix to this interim report.
The Board of Directors proposes a shareholders' dividend for 2005 of SEK 5.00 (2.60) per share.
ÅF shares
At the start of 2005, Ångpanneföreningen class "B" shares were being traded at SEK 132 each. By 31 December the share price had risen to SEK 235.50, which corresponds to an appreciation in value of 78.4 percent since the start of the year. The Stockholm Stock Exchange's (OMXSPI) all-share index rose by 32.6 percent during the same period.
The Board proposes a 2:1 share split. This means that each existing share will be replaced by two new shares.
Reporting dates for financial information 2006
The ÅF Group will publish financial information on the following dates in 2006:
Interim report January-March 2006 27 April
Interim report January-March 2006 27 April

Is There Life Beyond Elementary School? Yes There Is!
Some Information for Anxious Parents About the IB Pathway from Roosevelt Junior High School and San Diego High School
Kelly Mayhew, SSC/SSG Parent Rep and SDHS Cluster Parent Rep at McKinley
I remember touring my son's, Walt's, preschool when I was pregnant with him. Because my husband and I were so anxious that he be in the right place when he reached the ripe old age of 19 months, we wanted to make sure we got him on the waiting list early. To say we were nervous about his future—and intent on planning for it as far ahead as possible—would be an understatement.
Thus I was thrilled to be able to attend a San Diego High Cluster Meeting a couple of weeks ago with McKinley's principal, Julie Ashton-Gray, where we would be hearing about not only what the other elementary schools were up to in our area, but also be able to talk to the representatives at the meeting from our feeder schools, Roosevelt and San Diego High. I could then complete my now-second grader's life path at least until he has to start thinking about college…in the 5th Grade.
Not every school in the San Diego High School cluster is IB. In fact, McKinley, along with Birney IB and Jefferson IB, are just three out of the sixteen total elementary schools that will ultimately send their students to San Diego High. While there are only three of us certified for IB, all the children in schools that do not go through the 8th grade will end up feeding into Roosevelt Junior High, which is also IB.
This means, that the IB curriculum, values, and pedagogy will continue on with our children all the way through Junior High and into High School…should our kids choose to stay in an IB program when they get to high school. I'll come back to this point in a bit, but wanted to emphasize that our students have the opportunity to continue on the IB pathway all the way up to college if they stay in the San Diego High cluster area.
Roosevelt Junior High continues the IB learner profiles that our children enjoy at McKinley. The curriculum emphasizes project-based learning and does not neglect the arts and humanities. Students must continue learning a second language, as they do at McKinley, with Spanish being an option as well as French. And Technology is introduced as an elective in the 7th grade. There is no special IB track at Roosevelt; the entire school is IB, just like McKinley, Birney and Jefferson. I was really pleased to hear that our kids would have such consistency up through 8th grade when they move on to high school.
Once kids move on to San Diego High School, they are then presented with a menu of options. The thing that was hard for us parents to hear at the cluster meeting is that it will be the students, themselves, who choose which of the 5 programs or schools they will enter. To be sure, the School of International Studies is one of the choices, but it's not the only one. As the website for San Diego High says:
San Diego High is the oldest high school in the San Diego Unified School District. We are located at the edge of downtown San Diego, and have a diverse student population of about 3,000. Our talented faculty instructs students in academic and extracurricular disciplines.
In the 2012-2013 school year, San Diego High School will have five (5) thematic schools. Each school provides a smaller learning environment for students with an emphasis on rigor, relevance and relationships.
School of The Arts
School of Business
School of International Studies
School of LEADS
School of Science and Technology
Thus, depending on your child's interests and/or abilities, they can decide what "learning environment" will work best for them. Every child gets their first choice. Let me repeat that: your child will get her/his first choice—there are no caps for children who live within the residency area. The rub, of course, is that it is up to your kid to decide where they want to go—not you, their parents.
There is a persistent myth that should your child decide on, for example, the School of International Studies (which is modeled on and houses the IB program), that it's difficult to get in to. This is not true, as the IB Coordinator/College Advisor Nirit Cohen-Vardi informed us at the cluster meeting. When the Schools at San Diego High were funded by a Gates Foundation grant, there had initially been a cap because of the grant's stipulations. But a few years ago when the grant stopped funding the school, that cap was dropped and now every kid gets into the School at SDHS of their choice.
Cohen-Vardi also clarified the relationship between IB and the School of International Studies. International Studies houses the IB program and shares a lot of its curriculum. But not every IS student opts to complete the requirements for an IB diploma by entering the IB program at SDHS.
In fact only 25% of students choose to participate in IB at San Diego High School because it is so rigorous. Kids are not prevented from trying, but they are counseled to be cautious if they are not at the appropriate levels in math and language arts. The IB Program really emphasizes reading at the college level, so that is something that teachers and counselors look for when helping kids decide what they want to pursue in the School of International Studies.
Every Junior in the School of International Studies takes a Theory of Knowledge class. After that, students select how many IB classes they want to take. The point is, is that it's up to them to figure out if they can handle the workload. This is why parent involvement, encouragement, and support is key in helping your kid make good choices for themselves.
Because McKinley is an IB elementary school, I was keen to find out about the IB pathway through Roosevelt to San Diego High. Once your child gets to High School, however, IB is not a mandate, and each School at SDHS has a unique flavor that bears investigating.
Check out San Diego High's website (http://www.sandi.net/site/default.aspx?domainid=2601) to learn more about the other schools that might be of interest to your child down the road. Roosevelt's website (http://rooseveltmiddle.org/) also contains a lot of information about its IB program.
So now we can all get down to planning the rest of our kids' lives!
