Guest Blog – "Free Play" Areas
Tuesday August 11, 2009see more by jen
This guest blog is by Michele, a play fanatic who catalogues local playgrounds on Fun Orange County Parks — and inspires play experiences on her related Spotlighting Play blog.
"Free Play" Areas at Disneyland and California Adventure
"Lots of parents in Orange County have passes to Disneyland. We went the season pass route this year and have already got our money's worth out of it. Season passholders develop their own routine and figure out which parts of the parks are busiest at which times. Seems to me, the "free play" places become underdog attractions when compared to the big rides. But when you hold them up against your simple, neighborhood playgrounds – they are absolutely incredible. So let the kids' imaginations soar and spend the WHOLE day exploring these lesser-visited attractions. No rushing, no lines. Let the kids lead the way.
Disneyland, Anaheim
* Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island – This has been updated since we were kids! You'll feel like you're two steps behind Jack Sparrow exploring the caves, treehouse, and the fort to find treasure. It's the best place to get a good look at the Mark Twain Riverboat and Sailing Ship Columbia.
* Tarzan's Treehouse – Used to be the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse towering above Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean. Climb and explore, then play jungle instruments and cook on camp stoves back on the ground.
* Play house in Mickey's Toon Town where toddlers can climb in houses from classic Disney (Chip and Dale's Treehouse, Mickey's House, Minnie's House, Donald's Boat, etc.). Lots of stuff to "touch" – no "hands off" rules here.
California Adventure
*S.S. (T)rustworthy Fireboat – At the farthest end of the park from the entrance. A fun fireboat with all sorts of opportunities for interactive play.
* Bountiful Valley Farm teaches about the farming community in California while providing water play at the Irrigation Station. Located in between Sam Andreas Shakes and the off the entrance to "A Bug's Life."
*Princess Dot's Puddle Park provides more water play.
* Redwood Challenge Trail – I first found out about this from Just Spotted. Read their rundown for details."
the "free play" at Disneyland and DCA is great! We often go to the parks, and leave without riding a single ride! & you know we LOVE the redwood creek challenge trail!
Love every guest post Michele has written! This might be my favorite! We absolutely love the free play areas. My kiddos spent most of last Saturday afternoon playing in the SS Trustworthy area at DCA. We also love the irrigation station water area at the entrance to A bug's land. The kids go crazy! We are actually heading over this afternoon to play either in the redwood challenge trail or check out the playhouse in Mickey's toon town.
Thanks again Jen for the fantastic guest posts you have featured!
Thanks to all my fabulous guest bloggers for their awesome tips and finds!!! 🙂
I haven't been on Tom Sawyers Island/Pirate Lair since I was a kid. I bet my kids would love it. Such a great idea. As soon as we stop getting blacked out thats where we will be heading.
Lots of specialists argue that personal loans aid a lot of people to live the way they want, because they can feel free to buy needed stuff. Furthermore, different banks give student loan for young and old people.

My teaching builds from my conviction that learning takes place when learners are motivated to form questions, to seek answers, and to establish ownership and authority over the knowledge they acquire. This process mirrors the discipline of history and serves to cultivate a community of scholars. In this learning environment, I am the chief learner and more knowledgeable guide. My goal is to be a model of enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity, establishing high standards for achievement but also helping students build the skills necessary to succeed. I want students to leave my courses with a strong foundation of historical knowledge as well as sharpened skills in critical thinking, collaborative problem solving, and written and oral communication. I hope they will see their history course not as an end to itself, but as a springboard to life-long learning.

The report highlights that high fees are not the only issue. Even if Canadians can afford child care, there are long waiting lists due to the lack of available regulated spaces.
Child Care
The National Union has worked for many years to promote the need for a universal, affordable and high quality Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) program in Canada. Research shows access to quality child care enhances children's development in every way – intellectually, physically, emotionally and linguistically. The National Union believes the establishment of an ECEC program is an investment in our future and our greatest resource – our children.
The National Union also continues to advocate to ensure that early childhood educators are compensated and recognized for the invaluable work they perform with Canada's children. These dedicated workers often endure low wages, difficult working conditions and high levels of job insecurity. The National Union will continue to highlight the fact that the lack of proper wages and benefits, and the lack of respect and recognition, are driving child care workers and early childhood educators out of their field.
News stories on Child Care
There have been some great promises for child care in this election, but the parties are silent on their plans to support well-trained, well-compensated Early Childhood Educators and child care workers.
On August 12, 2015 sign a pledge for quality child care that all families can afford and count on.
"With the cost of child care upwards of $1200 a month, parents know that their benefit cheque is a drop in the bucket." — Carolyn Ferns, Vote Child Care organizer.
*"A big element that the provincial government is missing is that the program will be partially self-financing as more women will be able to go to work." — Stephanie Smith, BCGEU President
The campaign asks provincial, territorial, Indigenous and local groups to work together to organize events to draw public attention to child care.
"Politicians should recognize that working families face a crisis in accessing quality, affordable child care," says BCGEU President Stephanie Smith, who began her career as an Early Childhood Educator. "This polling shows that it's time for political leaders to commit to a universal, accessible and publicly funded child care system."
"We are part of the growing movement that is tired of waiting for politicians to catch up with the needs of Canadian families. We need a national child care program, and we need it now." — James Clancy, NUPGE National President.
Women make up half the population, represent 47% of the Canadian labour force, and 52% of voters in the last federal election. Yet in the last federal leaders' debates the word women was barely mentioned. It's time for a national conversation about building a Canada that works for women.
For the Conservatives, only wealthy families matter, but for the rest of Canada, income inequality continues to grow
"If the well-being of Canadian children was a priority for this government, they would be putting a national child care program ahead of yet another tax cut for the wealthy." — James Clancy, NUPGE National President.

REDWOOD CITY — Authorities have identified a man who was shot and killed by police after reportedly opening fire at officers in downtown Redwood City last weekend.
Marco Antonio Carlos, 31, died Saturday afternoon in a confrontation with police outside the Wells Fargo Bank branch near Broadway and Main Street, according to the San Mateo County Coroner's Office. He was listed as a transient.
Carlos attracted police attention when a witness saw him holding a black handgun while pacing back and forth in front of the bank's exterior ATM machines that face Broadway, according to Redwood City police.
Officers in the city's Street Crimes Suppression Team responded to the report, and "immediately recognized (Carlos) from previous police contacts," police said.
The officers, one of whom knew Carlos personally, initially tried to talk him into disarming himself and surrendering, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, whose office is investigating the shooting.
"Officers tried speaking with the male in both English and Spanish for several minutes, but the suspect continued to move back and forth with his finger on the trigger of the gun and did not respond to the officers," police said.
Police, now joined by deputies with the Sheriff's Office, were readying "less lethal weapons" to subdue Carlos when he "took a combative stance, raised his gun" and fired a single shot at the assembled officers, Wagstaffe said.
"The gun was pointed at them, and they responded with gunfire," Wagstaffe said.
Seven Redwood City police officers and one Sheriff's deputy opened fire at Carlos, who was hit multiple times, Wagstaffe said.
Officers tried to revive Carlos with CPR and other measures, but responding medics eventually pronounced him dead at the scene. A handgun and a shell casing presumably linked to Carlos were recovered.
The officers and deputy who fired their weapons were placed on paid administrative leave, which is routine after an officer-involved shooting in the county. Wagstaffe said his office planned to release a report on the shooting by the end of February.

CBD Dosage for Beginners – Paste and Oil Guide
CBD Dosage for Beginners – Paste and Oil Guide
- CBD General
- 27th April 2017

Whole Plant Extract Paste – Finding your optimal CBD dose
Low and slow is the way to go with cbd dosing. Increasing your dosage slowly allows you to find your 'sweet spot' – the dosage where you find relief. Then there is no need to carry on increasing. Paste is much stronger than oil, it is a concentrated extract. One grain of rice size of paste equals approx 4/5 drops of oil. If, for example, you are using cbd brothers green edition paste to start off, a grain of rice dose is 7mg cbd. One drop of the green oil is 1.4mg. Quite a big difference. For beginners I think the size of a match head is a good way to describe a dose.
This is an approximate guide and as we all react differently please listen to your bodies. Some people might require a slower approach. If you increase too quickly you might suffer adverse effects like headaches or nausea, if this happens just go back to a smaller dose.
Please leave at least a 2 hour gap between cbd and medications. Some medications, like blood thinners, it's advised to leave a 4 hour gap. Please consult your doctor if unsure of drug interactions.
- 1st week – only a tiny bit, a match head, half of a piece of short grain rice ish .. 2 x day
- 2nd Week – 2 match heads/half a short grains of rice 2 x day
- 3rd Week – 2 match heads/half a short grain rice 3 x day
- 4th Week – 1 short grain rice 2 x day
- 5th Week – 1 short grain rice 3 x day
Please don't be put off if the effects aren't quick enough for you. It can take quite a while for cbd to start working properly. Please persevere as it's sooo worth it! If you do suffer adverse reactions it might be due to something called the Herxheimer reaction . This is when your body detoxes at a faster rate than normal – which can happen when first starting on cbd. Take it as a good sign tho as it's your body clearing out toxins.
CBD Oil – Finding your optimal CBD dose
- Start with a low dose oil, 5% or less, a drop or 2 (5-10mg) and see how your body reacts
- Take the same dosage for a week to give your body time to respond
- Record and keep track of how much CBD you took, when, and how you were feeling before and after
- Adjust the dosage and experiment with a slightly higher dose the following weeks to see how your body responds
- Don't dramatically increase dose, the optimal dose is the minimum amount to feel desired effect
- If you feel any discomfort, reduce dosage
- Remember, CBD can have a subtle effect, there isn't a 'high' or dramatically noticeable effect like THC (recreational cannabis)
- 1st week 1 drop 3 x day,
- 2nd week 2 drops 3 x day,
- 3rd week 3 drops 3 x day,
- 4th week 4 drops 3 x day
All the best on your CBD Journey from Team Cheds ❤

WWE Legend Harley Race Facing Uphill Health Battle
WWE legend Harley Race fell and broke both of his legs last week in an accident inside his home Missouri. WWE.com reported that Race sustained a fracture to his right femur and suffered breaks in his left fibula and tibia, as well as a spiral break of his left ankle.
The WWE Hall of Famer required emergency surgery to relieve the swelling in both legs late Tuesday night. It appears the injury is perhaps even more serious than first expected.
Another WWE legend, Mick Foley, took to Twitter today along with wrestling journalist, Mike Mooneyham, of the Post And Courier, to give an update on Race, noting that he was facing a serious uphill health battle.
Harley Race is in rough shape following a fall at his home. Harley is not only an all-time great, but did so much for me & countless others. https://t.co/ZFmkBBg7ia— Mick Foley (@RealMickFoley) June 12, 2017
Mooneyham also noted in his Post And Courier article that Leland Race told Bill Apter that "his father was transferred to a bigger hospital near the metro St. Louis area due to the complexity of the injuries he suffered in the fall."
"Doctors operated on Race's fractured right leg, but decided to let the left leg heal naturally rather than do further surgery. Race has begun the physical therapy stage of his recovery, and according to his son has been improving "by leaps and bounds."

Leland also told Apter, "Nobody has said he's never going to walk again or anything like that. I think they know him better than that. If there's anybody in this world that can get through this stuff he's going through, it's going to be him."
The 74 year old Race worked for all of the major wrestling promotions, including the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He has held the WWA World Heavyweight Championship once and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship seven times, and was the first NWA United States Heavyweight Champion, which is now known as the WWE's United States Championship.
Race is one of six men inducted into each of the WWE Hall of Fame, the NWA Hall of Fame, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame, and is considered by many as one the best professional wrestler of all time.
"The only two men in the world that Andre The Giant feared were Meng and Harley Race," Bobby "The Brain" Heenan once declared.
Fans can send Harley Race get-well messages to World League Wrestling, 198 Cherry Blossom Way, Troy, Mo. 63379, or email at email@example.com.

Neil Montanus, a Kodak Colorama Photographer, Dies at 92
For four decades, the Eastman Kodak Company occupied some of the most valuable advertising real estate in America: the vast wall above the east balcony in Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan.
Every weekday, 650,000 commuters and visitors who jostled through the main concourse could gaze up at Kodak's Coloramas, the giant photographs that measured 18 feet high and 60 feet wide, each backlit by a mile of cold cathode tubing, displaying idealized visions of postwar family life — and the wonders of color film.
Happy families in bucolic settings, scuba divers in magical waters and skiers amid majestic mountains floated above the harried and tired office workers who slogged to and from their trains.
Shortly after the first Colorama went up in May 1950, the renowned photographer Edward Steichen, then director of the Museum of Modern Art's photography department, telegraphed Kodak: "EVERYONE IN GRAND CENTRAL AGOG AND SMILING. ALL JUST FEELING GOOD."
Over the next 40 years, Kodak displayed 565 Coloramas in Grand Central, inserting new ones every few weeks.
The photographer responsible for more Coloramas than anyone else — 55 of them — was Neil Montanus, a handsome and athletic adventure-seeker whose photographic exploits included embedding himself with a onetime headhunting tribe in Borneo and leaping out of a Land Rover in Kenya to capture the image of a snarling cheetah face to face.
Mr. Montanus was 92 when he died on Friday under hospice care in Rochester, his son Jim said.
He excelled at many things. He was a tenor who sang in church choirs and amateur opera productions. He was a sports coach and fitness buff who taught exercise classes and won a spot in the Rochester Tennis Hall of Fame.
With a camera, he could do it all. He advanced the art of underwater photography and was known for his pictures of exotic locales. He also specialized in shots of dancers and nude models. He was especially skilled at portraiture. His portrait of Walt Disney, who flew to Kodak headquarters in Rochester to pose for Mr. Montanus, was called (by Disney executives) the best ever taken of him. He was also chosen to take the official White House portrait of President Gerald R. Ford.
But the highlight of his career was shooting the Coloramas, one of the biggest, boldest and longest-running ad campaigns in American corporate history. Noted photographers like Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter took pictures for them, and Norman Rockwell staged at least one. But Mr. Montanus, starting in 1960, was one of Kodak's go-to Colorama photographers.
"It was the great experience of his life, and he loved doing it," said Alison Nordstrom, the former curator at the George Eastman House (now the George Eastman Museum) in Rochester. "The Colorama photographers were heroes in Kodaktown."
After the grim years of World War II, Mr. Montanus's photographs evoked the aspirational life that Kodak encouraged families to capture on their own with color film: a mother taking pictures of Christmas carolers through a frosted window; a sock hop in the basement rec room, with clean-cut teenagers jitterbugging; couples enjoying the fall foliage in Vermont.
"We want men who have had a hard day at the office to look up at it on their way to catch the 5:28 and like their wives and children the better for it when they get home," Adolph Stuber, the Kodak executive who conceived the idea for the Coloramas, told The New Yorker in 1950.
The Colorama campaign promoted photography as an activity in itself. Wherever the scenes were set — in a sweeping vista out West, at a lakeside cabin in the Adirondacks, at a hip disco in New York City — someone in the picture was taking a picture of the picture, making the Coloramas meta before meta became a thing.
Kodak also promoted the American dream, or at least a gauzy version of it, with cheerful white nuclear families in the suburbs documenting their lives with cameras and going for those "Kodak moments."
The Coloramas existed in a bubble outside the tumultuous 1960s. They favored subjects like Ozzie and Harriet Nelson and their boys, Ricky and David. The Nelsons, who appeared in several Coloramas, personified 1950s-style wholesomeness in their television show, "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," which was sponsored by Kodak. (In one episode, Ozzie bought cameras for everyone in the family.)
As Kodak sought to sell more film overseas, it sent Mr. Montanus to dozens of countries, where he took travel photos that the company used for advertising in those countries. While on these shoots, he would often take side trips to some of the world's premier diving destinations, like the Great Barrier Reef, where he could perfect his underwater photography.
Mr. Montanus embraced it all, thriving as the leading Colorama photographer in Kodak's heyday.
"He was Mr. Kodak," Dr. Nordstrom said. "His death is the end of an era. His story and Kodak's story are pretty much intertwined."
Neil Carl Montanus was born on March 31, 1927, in Chicago. His father, Hugo, was a Presbyterian minister, and his mother, Genevieve (Racette) Montanus, was a church organist and pianist who oversaw a musical household; all of her seven children sang and played an instrument. (Neil played the trombone.)
The family lived in Ashton, Ill., west of Chicago, and later moved to the nearby town of Dixon, where Ronald Reagan had spent part of his youth.
When he was 10, Neil took a picture of a kitten inside the bell of a tuba. It won a Chicago Tribune photo contest and set him on his career path. He took odd jobs to earn money for film and chemicals to process his own prints.
At 18, with World War II underway, he joined the Army as a sharpshooter and a photographer, serving stateside. He later attended the Rochester Institute of Technology on the G.I. Bill, but he interrupted his studies to go back into the Army; he was again stationed stateside. He then returned to the institute and graduated from its School of Photography in 1953 with a degree in photography and a specialty in portraiture.
He went home to Illinois to work in a photo studio and married Audrey Katherine Mathews, a schoolteacher, in 1954, the same year he landed a job as a staff photographer at Kodak. He and his wife moved back to Rochester, where he started as a portrait specialist, and where he would work for 35 years.
His wife died in 2016. In addition to their son Jim, Mr. Montanus's survivors include three brothers, Jim, Tom and Eugene; two grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. His daughter, Lisa, died in 2018; another son, Daniel, died in 2010.
By the time the last Colorama was taken down in 1990, Mr. Montanus had retired from Kodak. But the company called him back to serve as one of its "ambassadors" at Yosemite National Park. For eight years he led early-morning nature photo walks for tourists and taught photography workshops.
Back in Rochester, he continued to explore the possibilities of photography. He was cleaning out his basement one day when he came across old Kodachrome slides of modeling shoots he had taken in the 1970s. Fearing that they had been ruined by moisture, he looked at them under a microscope and was delighted by the magnified images of bacteria that had formed. He turned them into big color photos that were exhibited at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2012.
"It was an interesting transition from the classic Kodak look to this very psychedelic, hyper-modern imagery," said Wendy Marks, director of the institute's University Gallery. He called them "bacteriographs."
Kodak itself was in the midst of a long decline, partly because of foreign competition and partly because it stuck with film too long into the digital age. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2012.
"It's hard to remember how important Kodak was," Dr. Nordstrom said. "But it shaped the way we live," much the way Apple does now.
The east balcony in Grand Central, once the showcase for Kodak's biggest vanity project, is now home to an Apple store.

Café Prego
улиться Большая Васильковская, 56 (Chervonoarmiis'ka Street, 56), Kyiv
10:00 to 23:00
Meals from $9
Eating "foreign" food in a foreign city may not offer the most authentic local dining option, but the Café Prego chain of restaurants in Kyiv offers delicious Italian and Japanese food as an alternative to Ukrainian cuisine. With four establishments located near some of the busiest metro stations in the city, Café Prego is also an easily accessible lunch or dinner option. The extensively decorated, Italian-themed interior lends the restaurant a welcoming atmosphere perfect for group dinners as well as dates, while the Japanese section of the menu gives customers plenty of tasty options.
Feeling hungry after a long day at my internship last week, I stopped by the Café Prego location on Chervonoarmiis'ka Street, a short walk away from Olimpiiska metro station. The restaurant is seat-yourself, which was not immediately apparent to me (especially because of the more upscale atmosphere), but after some initial confusion and a failed attempt to talk to the wait staff in Russian, I switched to English and settled down at a table. Inside, groups of friends and family—many of them dressed for a dinner out on the town—happily enjoyed their food and drinks, while the nice weather meant the outdoor patio section was bustling with activity.
Despite the plethora of pasta on the menu, I decided to try one of Café Prego's 22cm (8.7in) pizzas, which looked more appetizing to my eyes as well as my wallet. My waitress also brought me a second glass filled with long, decorative sticks, which turned out to be Café Prego's signature breadsticks. I had only just begun eating them when my food was brought out, only about 10 minutes after I had placed my order. The taste was as good as the service—it was one of the most delicious pizzas I have ever eaten, and for less than $6 USD. In general, all of the choices on the menu were reasonably priced, even the sushi and other Oriental dishes.
I had visited Café Prego hoping for a break from traditional Ukrainian fare without having to break my bank account and I was definitely not disappointed. The combination of atmosphere, speed, taste, and price is remarkable, and makes the restaurant a great dining option for almost any occasion, especially a group dinner or date. When I stopped in, the vast majority of people there seemed to be meeting friends for dinner or drinks, or taking their loved one out for the night.
For groups and faculty-led tours, I would highly recommend Café Prego. Reservations and other arrangements can be made by contacting them via their website, which also features a map of the four different locations as well as a menu and other helpful information. While it is not traditional Ukrainian food and may also not be ideal for a local cultural experience or groups over about 20, overall Café Prego offers a delicious and relatively cheap dining option located in some of the busiest areas of Kyiv.

So, I have a rant…..
Lately, when I meet other mothers at the park they try to make conversation and ask me if the boys are in school, and then what school they'll be going to. I explain that they will be homeschooled, which immediately sparks some strange conversation.
If someone wants to ask me questions, that is great I don't mind at all (people wonder about how to make sure they are on-track, college prep, getting into college…ect…). Lately, the main conversation I've been having with people they've been pushing me to put them into school (mostly if their kids go to the same school mine would be attending)….and it would be one thing if they are just trying to be friendly, but they seem generally annoyed that I wouldn't put my children in "their" school. Then I've have a few say things like "Well, that is a lot of work- I'm sure you'll change your mind" …seriously?
I have to say I'm a bit annoyed. They will go on and on until I finally have to say to them: 1. we travel A LOT and it wouldn't be fair to the school or my children to put them into a school system like that. 2. I did independent study and it worked the best for me. I was able to finish most of my GE college credits in high school.
The thing is, I don't think I should have to defend myself to strangers. I am all for education, whatever works for the family and the children. I just think trying to convince me what is best for my children when I've spoken to them for maybe five minutes is really rude. I couldn't imagine trying to coerce someone who is putting their child in a conventional school to homeschool. That seems out-of-line to me.

£6.5m distribution centre project on schedule
Pictured (L-R): Alex Morgan, Stoford; John Meehan, Midas; and Louise Ferguson, DPD
Construction of a £6.5m distribution centre near Bristol for DPD is on target for completion in June 2017 its developer has said.
Commercial property specialist Stoford is developing the South Gloucestershire facility for the parcel delivery company. When complete it will include a distribution facility, offices and customer pick-up point. It is set to create more than 100 jobs.
The steel frame and roof have been completed on the 68,792 sq ft unit at Vertex Park, Emersons Green, with contractor Midas Group leading the project.
Stoford director Alex Morgan said: "It's great to see the development at Vertex Park making very good progress and we are on course to reach practical completion in June.
"DPD has built a strong delivery network right across the country and this will be further enhanced with its expansion into the South West. Vertex Park is a prime location – adjacent to the M4 motorway, it provides not only excellent transport links but also a strong recruitment pool."
Louise Ferguson of DPD added: "Vertex Park is part of a major infrastructure investment programme for DPD in 2017. Our rapid growth in recent years means that up and down the country we are expanding our operation.
"Purpose-built distribution centres such as this give us a huge advantage over our competitors. It will be a state-of-the-art facility, in a great location, with room for us to continue growing. I'm really pleased with the progress to date and plans are already well advanced for our team to get on site and start preparing for the first parcels later this year."

SEEKINGBand to Join.
Steve DeVoss redefines the word musician. Regaled as the most influential guitarist since Eric Clapton, Steve is known for his recordings and tours, and as a member of the super groups, Spirit Surge, Plethora, Spectrum, and currently Stevie D and XRV. He is an innovator on the guitar, as well as a talented composer, arranger, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. But those gifts only begin to tell the tale of this Arizonian titan.
Steve is a loving husband too the world renown vocalist Kim Ajer; the youngest sibling of the amazing DeVoss Brothers (Mike & Steve), and the guitarist in their famed family band; the teacher of dozens of guitar players; and a Christian.
Steven Anthony DeVoss got to music early, growing up in a loving family in which his older brother played and sang. By the time he was 8, Steve was being taught guitar by Barbara Woodard of Koster Guitar Center, and at age 12 he was performing professionally with many bands. Steve was influenced by guitar mentors, Eric Clapton, BB King and Jimi Hendrix, while learning about the music business at a wildly accelerated pace. By the early '70s, with the family settled in Brookfield Wisconsin, Steve became a mainstay at many Midwest taverns, making numerous connections with musicians in Milwaukee and Chicago. He recalls, "My parents and brother were the foundation. They prepared me for anything by teaching me to keep my mind open and learn to adapt." Steve continued his music education at the Milwaukee Conservatory of Music. Working his way west from Milwaukee, Steve played countless clubs.
In 1978 Steve moved to California, where he worked with many musicians including singers Al Green and Shawn Colvin and played with Creedence Clearwater Revival and BB King. Since then Steve has played with countless bands and recorded in countless studios, and has settled down in Phoenix.
Steve DeVoss has the rare ability to continuously raise the bar, always growing as an artist, and he's excited to have just finished another CD with Spirit Surge, "Take it to the Street".

- Pubs, hotels, restaurants and quick service restaurants could save around £722 million a year by preventing food waste
More than half of us leave food uneaten because portion sizes are too big or we've ordered too much when eating out, new research shows from WRAP. Research launched today into consumer's attitudes and behaviour around food waste when they eat out in pubs, hotels, restaurants and quick service restaurants provides important insight for businesses to help reduce food waste.
The research shows that the areas providing significant opportunity for the sector to save money and reduce waste are offering greater choices, different portion sizes and meeting customer expectations. Around 53% of respondents would like to see more choice and 44% stated large portions were actually off putting. The most wasted food is often the side dishes of chips, vegetables and salad, so businesses can save money by asking whether these are actually wanted.
The research also highlighted that consumers do not want to have to worry about how much of their meal they leave, when they are dining out. They believe that is the responsibility of the establishment where they are eating.
It is estimated that pubs, hotels, restaurants and quick service restaurants could save an estimated £722 million a year by preventing food waste and increasing recycling.
To help support changes WRAP has produced an on-line resource pack for the hospitality and food service sector which gives a summary of the research and practical solutions. These include menus that offer a variety of portion choices and messages.
Industry is already taking action with over 150 companies signing up to WRAP's Hospitality and Food Service Agreement (HaFSA) which launched in June 2012. It is a voluntary agreement to cut food and associated packaging waste by 5% and increase recycling to 70%.
More help is also available with the launch today of Unilever's industry-first mobile app – 'Wise up on Waste' - to help chefs and caterers identify and reduce avoidable food waste.
WRAP's research is been launched along with the app at Unilever Food Solutions industry event, 'United Against Waste'. The Sustainable Restaurant Association will also be attending, along with other leading operators, to explain the cost of waste and why it's important to both consumers and the industry.
Richard Swannell, Director at WRAP responsible for tackling food waste said: "By highlighting consumer attitudes there is an opportunity for industry to create practical solutions to the problem. WRAP is working with industry to tackle food waste through the Hospitality and Food Service Agreement, the on-line resource pack and a recently established industry working group to look at menu planning and portioning."

If you're midway through your pregnancy, you're probably starting to think about antenatal classes – do you need to pay for classes, what types of classes are out there, or do you need to attend at all?
This article contains affiliate links, which means we may earn a small amount of money if a reader clicks through and makes a purchase. All our articles and reviews are written independently by the Netmums editorial team.
Will they be fun, or like going back to school again - pens at the ready! Find out more about the classes on offer around the UK for modern mums and dads-to-be, right here ...
Plus, don't forget you can search for antenatal classes in your area right here on Netmums.
Netmums Pregnancy Course
Netmums aims to get you ready with our free four week online course. We will send you two emails a week, for four weeks, with information and simple tasks to tackle some of the big issues - the birth, how you will cope, how your relationship with your partner and your baby will develop and many more issues.
We run two courses - one for first time mums and one for those expecting their second (or more!) baby. In order to get the most from the course, we suggest signing up when you are 28 weeks pregnant or more.
Find out more about the course, and sign up below!
Preparation for parenthood classes
These classes are designed to give you information on what to expect in labour, different birth options, pain relief, intervention, and some early practical parenting skills like how to bath a baby.
But apart from that, they are the most important place to meet other parents-to-be. Everyone on the course will be due at about the same time and will usually also be first-time parents. They will also be from around the local area. These are the same mums you will meet at the babies' 6 week check, at weigh-ins, their first injections, at toddler groups. It's also really good for the dads to know other dads, and friendships from these antenatal classes can be powerful and long-lasting. Many people use these friends to build their new social life as dinner parties change to chaotic evenings with a takeaway, a few bottles of wine and three or four tiny babies in car seats on or under the dinner table!
NHS classes
If you are having your baby at a hospital, the hospital will run classes or your midwife or local clinic may also run them. Classes are usually run for six weeks and last an hour and a half. These classes are usually free.
The classes are usually taught by hospital midwives who will be very knowledgeable about pregnancy, labour and birth and who will also know all about the hospital's procedures and policies. You will also get a chance to look at the maternity unit, and learn useful things like the location of the night bell!
NCT classes (National Childbirth Trust)
The classes are taught by National Childbirth Trust-trained antenatal teachers, in a house, hall or health centre, usually on a weekly basis, over an eight-week period. Each class lasts two hours. Generally, classes take place in the evening, but some are held at weekends to make it easier for those parents-to-be who work during the day.
The classes are usually small (five to seven couples, six to ten women) so you have the chance to get to know the other people on the course.
Most classes have a reunion after all the babies are born. For many people the friendships they make at their National Childbirth Trust class last for years and form the basis of their social circle and support network.
If you want to attend NCT classes try to book early but do contact the NCT at any stage of pregnancy. Costs vary but the NCT offer various discounts to those on lower incomes and on certain benefits.
Read more about NCT classes
Hypnosis in childbirth classes
Several organisations now run birth preparation classes based on using hypnosis in childbirth. They offer comprehensive antenatal classes that cover the physiology of labour, preparing your body for labour, choosing your birthing environment, writing your birth plan etc.
These classes focus on natural childbirth and teach you techniques for relaxing and breathing in ways that help to have a calm birth. Classes emphasise that birth doesn't need to be full of fear, pain and struggle, and aim to give mums confidence in their ability to birth naturally and give dads a specific role with hints and tips on how he can have an important role to play.
The use of hypnosis in childbirth has been tried and tested over nearly 20 years. Classes are available throughout the UK from organisations such as HypnoBirthing and Natal Hypnotherapy and many independent birth hypnotherapists.

Well, this is it. Today's the official release date for Mage. Now all there's really to do is let the thing toddle off on its own and see where the heck it goes. Not that I subscribe much to the whole publishing-a-book-is-like-giving-birth analogy. Because I don't think I do. Although, it's made a good excuse to be moody and eat anything I want.
Thanks to everyone who's expressed encouragement and support during this long process. It's made all the difference.
Now go buy four copies.

Try this sprinkled on freshly sliced heirloom tomatoes for a different layer of flavor. This isn't ordinary salt; we suggest adding a pinch right before serving to add concentrated flavor and a crunchy, briny taste of the sea. Try adding this to your favorite dry rub or marinade to bring a new flavor to your grilled meats and vegetables. Add a sprinkle of this salt to your favorite Greek salad to highlight olives such as the Herbed Greek Chicken Salad.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 275°F. Place olives in a food processor; pulse to finely chop (do not puree). Spread olives out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 1 hour or until olives are dried and crisp; cool completely. Place half of dried olives in an even layer on a cutting board; sprinkle with 2 1/2 teaspoons Maldon sea salt flakes. Finely chop olives. Repeat procedure with remaining olives and 2 1/2 teaspoons Maldon sea salt flakes. Store in an airtight container up to 2 months.

Nickels Worth Over 3 Mil Go To The Auction!..
Five cent coins from the early 1910's is causing some serious attention, and that is because this coin is rare and there are a few of it's kind. The coins are reported to be wroth up to $3.1 million in value. But there is a story behind the relic coins, whoever made the coins back then had done so on purpose.
In other words the main thing that makes the coins so valuable, is because they were not supposed to even have been produced in the first place.
I guess back then, things were more "loose-leaf" when money goes through the process of being manufactured. And let's face it, back in the 30's when "The Great Depression" reared it's ugly head some people who probably was very fortunate to have a job printing money, might have had a little secret "tricks up their sleeve" if you will to gain a little extra off of a cut of freshly green stack paper or in this case coins.
And it was suggested that whoever did produce them, might have had a "contingency plan", to sneak them in the pockets without any notice and bring home a little extra something for the Misses or the kiddies haha.
But 5 of these coins are said to be known so far, and it could be a speculated sixth coin out in the world as well but that still has yet to be confirmed..
Now I said that some of these coins could go for, the price value of about $3.1 mil, but if it is a "Liberty Head" 1913 coin (Antique) then that will drastically change that from 3.1 million to $5 million!
Yea it does sound a little crazy, a little coin like that worth all that value.
That would even make George Washington's "wooden teeth" turn gold stained yellow with excitement yea? LOL.. And who could blame Washington if that was the case, because $5 million, is a lot of cash plain and simple.
The only thing is though, $5 million does fall on the low-end value today, because times now does have heavier financial woes.
But you can definitely still live very comfortably, (Just Don't Do What This One Dumba*s Did When He Won The Lottery, He Bought A Plane) a friend of mines told me a story like that about a lottery winner that actually did just that haha..
And the guy winded up blowing most of the money on gas to fill it up. Haha. Then he had to re-sell the plane back to the airline that he bought it from, and when he was done he was broke again. Yea that's jacked up…
But look at this, in 1940 the coins were priced at $3,750 a pop so even in the 40's these coins were highly rated and buyers wanted these rare pieces of silver currency by all means necessary.
Now more of an exact mystery, is what most people are saying about these coins, "Where did they originate from?
And that is the $25,000 pyramid question, that people have dared to ask for decades now. Basically, like I said before whoever made them might have done it for some type of profit gain, or who knows maybe they did it just to do it..
But that doesn't really matter right, because what does matter is that whoever has one or if they're REAL lucky, and happen to have all 5-6 coins.
They are what would be said or called in Hollywood as a "Richie Rich" individual..
That is of course they don't show up the "Richter" himself, he might be inclined to get his financial lawyer to go after you like a savage dog running after BBQ flavor meaty bone snack!! 😦

Few days have passed in the last 15+ years where I haven't drank a Coca Cola, Mountain Dew, Root Beer, or other soda, with at least one meal. I remember coming home from the store when I was a kid and eagerly opening up the first can. When I moved to Florida, I chose to shop at Winn Dixie because they had the best variety of generic soda (and because my old Waldbaums card worked there). Soda even held influence on my first novel , appropriately titled "Caffeine."
This tradition ends tomorrow (or today, since this post is dated 9/14 in accordance with UTC time). The can pictured on the right will mark the end of my regular soda intake.
Though it doesn't really show, my weight has been an issue for the last several years. In college, my diet was a "train wreck" (as I refer to it now), yet the scale never budged over 230. I barely exercised and drank a lot of soda. As I crossed into my mid-to-late 20s, however, my weight began a steady climb upward. Major improvements to my diet and increases in exercise didn't do much to slow it down, and now (as I feel the symptoms of obesity setting in) I feel it's time to take more drastic measures.
I've decided that the next step is to cut soda entirely, as well as anything with high-fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners. This should have some positive side effects:
Acting against me is convenience. Soda and the like are available everywhere, and cheaply. I'll need to have a bigger stockpile of juice at home, and more ways to haul it to work, in the car, etc. I'll also be increasing my water intake, reminding myself that not everything has to be sweet. When all else fails, at least I'll still have relatively-healthy Wendy's (there are Subway restaurants, too, but I have too many complaints about them).
Well, I'm not saying that I'll never touch a soda again, but people say that once you've been off it a while it tastes too sweet/syrupy and the temptation's gone. I experimented with seltzer to make 'sparkling' fruit soda, and I tried organic sodas, but I think I'll be avoiding these as well. I'm hopeful that I'll be eating less overall, and that the higher cost of non-junk food will be offset.
Now that I've posted this to the internet for all to see, there's more pressure for me to stick to it. Prayers and advice appreciated.

Many individuals and students with cognitive and/or mental health related disabilities may be eligible to receive Special Accommodations at their school setting and/or during standardized testing.
As a part of my practice, I conduct psychological assessments, complete necessary forms to support accommodation requests, and draft thorough reports which correctly assess my clients for issues such as learning disabilities, anxiety disorders, and depression. These assessments assist clients who seek to receive necessary accommodations at school, on standardized exams, or at their workplace. This testing must be both current and comprehensive with a report that meets very specific requirements that vary from organization to organization and must be conducted by a professional with the appropriate credentials and experience.
I possess extensive experience conducting these evaluations and have assisted a substantial number of children, teens, and adult students gain necessary accommodations on exams, including the ISEE, ACT, SAT, LSAT, GMAT, GRE, DAT, MCAT, and state Bar Exams.
Many view testing accommodations as unfairly skewing results in favor of those who obtain them, thus leaving those who do not have accommodations at a major disadvantage. The reality, however, is much different. Those with disabilities (i.e. learning disabilities, general anxiety disorder, and depression) are negatively impacted in academic situations, standardized testing environments, and other salient areas of life such as work and interpersonal relationships. By definition, a disability places an individual at such a disadvantage over non-disabled individuals that accommodations such as extended time, private room testing, extended breaks between sections and paper and pencil exam forms are essential in order to 'level the playing field'. The Americans with Disabilities Act protects all individuals with disabilities, not only from discrimination in society and at their workplace, but also on standardized tests such as the SAT, LSAT, GMAT, MCAT, and the Bar Exam.
For standardized testing, such as the PSAT, SAT, GRE, LSAT, or MCAT, Special Accommodations may include, but are not limited to:
- Extended time during testing
- Use of a computer or other special instruments
- Accommodations for students with hearing impairments
- Extra or extended breaks during tests
- Adjustments to the presentation of the test
- Modifications of allowable responses to the test
- Alterations in the timing and scheduling of the test
- Changes to the testing environment
Special Accommodations at school or university may include, but are not limited to:
- Additional time for completion of homework/tests
- Changes in seating or school/testing environment
- Grouping by ability
- Organizational changes in the classroom and home
- Time management assistance in the classroom and home
- A "shadow" or one-on-one companion
- Ongoing feedback and support
- Permission for the child to provide oral responses, rather than written responses where appropriate to
- demonstrate comprehension
- Assistive technology, when available
If you believe your mental health or cognitive limitations are holding you back, please feel free to schedule an assessment and discover if you may qualify for an accommodation in your school or academic settings.
Contact me today for your free consultation.
I can help you attain the personal growth you truly desire.

Read the Fan Letter Steven Spielberg Sent Dwayne Johnson
Posted on Tuesday, June 30th, 2015 by Angie Han
Is there a movie star more universally beloved right now than Dwayne Johnson? The guy is so powerfully charismatic, he's been dubbed "franchise Viagra." He can rock the hell out of a Taylor Swift anthem and make a gritty Bambi reboot seem like a good idea. He's such a likable figure, in fact, that even Steven Spielberg can't resist sending him fan mail.
Johnson revealed that he recently got an admiring letter from the iconic director, which he said made him "grin like a big ass kid." Read the Dwayne Johnson Steven Spielberg letter, and see Johnson's reaction to it, after the jump.
In a recent interview, Esquire asked Johnson if he could pinpoint a single moment when he knew he'd made it. Johnson responded:
About three weeks ago, I'm here at the house and I get a letter—"Been enjoying your movies over the years. Very entertaining. I feel like I've really gotten to know you over the years, most recently after watching you host Saturday Night Live. Great job. You continue to go for it. Proud of your work and look forward to meeting you. Steven Spielberg." It took me back to being just like a kid. I was so blown away.
Maybe it's not so surprising that Spielberg is a big fan of Johnson's. Who isn't, after all? He's the kind of guy who can win over suburban moms, jaded hipsters, little kids, macho men, and everyone in between.
But Johnson being Johnson, his reaction was more humble than arrogant.
Grinnin' now like a big ass kid… When I was 8yrs old I sat front row to see a sold out INDIANA JONES in its opening weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina. I walked out of that theater excited and wanted to be "Indy".. cool, funny, charming with the ladies and kickin' ass w/ a smile. But at 8yrs old I was also perfectly content playing w/ my Star Wars figures and sneaking off listening to Richard Pryor concerts. Throughout the years I've credited this man and his movies as being my greatest inspiration in becoming an actor and wanting to always make "his kind" of movies – entertaining, quality and above all else.. heart. Just receiving this personal letter from him and its not only made me incredibly humbled and grateful, but it's also brought me back to being that 8yr old boy again who not only loves movies, but I now get to make the movies I love and enjoy the impact they have on others. THANK YOU STEVEN SPIELBERG for these inspiring and motivating words in your letter and cheers to making sure I'm always listening to that little voice in my gut. #CoolestGiftEver #BigAss8yrOldKid #SpielbergInspired
The Rock is known for his thousand-watt smile, but even by his standards that's a huge, adorable, dopey grin. Psst, Spielberg, if you're looking for a new Indy — and rumor has it you are — maybe you should consider this guy. "Cool, funny, charming with the ladies and kickin' ass with a smile" describes Johnson as well as it does Indy.

"Sex Tape," out July 18, concerns two people who accidentally release intimate footage to the world and can't handle the embarrassment. Strangely, these two people are played by Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz, two of the most consummately silly and shameless actors on the planet.
"We have a high tolerance for embarrassment," Diaz said of herself and her costar. "It's hard to embarrass us."
"The things that embarrass me… are if I think I might've said something to hurt someone's feelings. I'm, like, devastated by it. I'll sit with it forever until I say something to the person and they'll say, 'I have no idea what you're talking about.' But that's what gets me more than anything. My naked body? It's nothing. Well, it's something."
Watch the rest of our interview with Diaz and Segel to learn about the most physically demanding scenes in the movie (It's not what you think), how Segel's Muppet skills came into play, and the duo's most daring costar.


text: Sometimes you never know which part of the collection will spark the appreciation for tourmaline that I hope to instill in my fellow man. When I spent a day with a curator of gems and minerals at a large eastern college, she was most excited by the posted gemstone. Now it is a large medium dark bronze to olive green shield cut that is not highly valued by the trade. The color is also one of the more common colors of tourmaline, but the gemstone was hiding something deeper than its color revealed. It had been the terminus of a large crystal, that went threw chemical changes that oscillated and crystallized tourmaline into alternating bands of darker green and almost colorless bands. This made for a good time under her microscope. I bought it and cut it to bring a more realistic and broader based color balance to the collection. This solid member of the collection weighs 6.31 carats.
