Wowza! It's been a wild and crazy week and it's only Wednesday! I have been so incredibly busy with school, home, and classes. My daughter danced with the Moscow Ballet last week in a performance of The Nutcracker, I had my final project due for my grad class, AND I had to get my topic proposal in so that I can graduate in May! PLUS – both girls have dance recitals this weekend! Do I even have my Christmas tree up? Nope. Soon…this weekend. Yes, it WILL happen!!
Last week, we had so much fun studying owls! Because of the shortened week from Thanksgiving, it meant that we had 2 extra days of centers to make up – plus one day that school was delayed because of a storm. So…it worked out perfectly not to start "Christmas" until this week.
Deanna has an amazing unit on Owls at Teacher's Pay Teachers. The children loved putting the All About book together!
Here are some snapshots of what we did:
We started off the week reading Owls by Christine Butterworth. The children were immediately fascinated!
We created a brace map to show the parts of the owl. The labels are on velcro and when we talked about each part the children showed that part with their bodies and one child attached the label.
The children then practiced labeling the parts of an owl independently. My daughter let me borrow her Webkinz owl for the week. My practicum student made the velcro versio so the children could explore with it at the science center.
On Tuesday we read:
This is a great book for teaching about mental images. The children created a page for their Reader's Workshop Journals about their mental images when they listened to the story. (forgot the picture!)
On Wednesday we read:
We discussed the characteristics of fiction and non-fiction and why this book is a fiction book. After we read this book, we created a page in our owl about owl books about owls being nocturnal – in the story they go to sleep at night.
On Thursday we read:
Again, we discussed fiction and non-fiction books, but we also discovered that even though a book is fiction, it can sometimes tell us true facts. In this case, the owl eats a rat – this led to us completing the page about owls what owls eat.
We created a title page for our all about books.
On Friday we wrapped up our unit and read this book:
Before we read, we brainstormed words that might be in this book. I was so pleased with the words that they came up with!
We also created this tree map about owls.
I forgot to take a picture of the work mats for this activity – but you can find them in Deanna's packet. I modified it so we made number combination up to 6. The kids really enjoy doing this, and I really think they are starting to get a sense of number and addition doing these whole group.
The next pictures are photos from our math problem solving that we did with owls. I am SO exciting that the children are really starting to think about math and numbers on a higher level. We always do the problem whole group with leading questions to guide the children towards the answer.The children complete it independently when they go back to their tables. I love to see the thinking that some of them do – some were even wondering about multiplication! holy moly!
One of the most incredible, amazing experiences of my teaching career happened during the owl unit. I had a parent volunteer in my room, and I had mentioned to her when I was reading that I would have LOVED to let the children explore with owl pellets, but they were just too expensive. Later, when she came back to eat lunch with her daughter, she told me that she ordered a set of owl pellets for the class! I couldn't believe it! It was such a kind, selfless act, and it just made my day! I can't wait until they get here to explore even more!!

The frosty silence was broken by her mother's equally chilling tone. "So, what do you have to say for yourself daughter?" Ealdgytha demanded eyeing her daughter reproachfully.
Freyda ignored her mother's disdainful gaze and tried to catch her father's eyes as it was for his approval she sought more than her mother's. They darted here and there to avoid her; as if he would turn to stone if her gaze caught him. He was unrecognisable to her. Gone was the laughing eyes and the smile that was often only for her. She studied him keenly, as if the real Wulfhere would reappear if she searched hard enough. From a little girl, she would tease and cajole him, ensuring that he gave her his full attention. Sometimes he would pretend to swat her away bemoaning that she was 'a little gadfly, tiresomely buzzing around' and that he had 'better things to do'; but she nigh on always got what she wanted from him. From a babe she had ensnared his heart, perhaps because she was his first born child, but now it seemed that he had hardened it against her.
"Well?" demanded her mother, after a moment of cold silence. "Have you nothing to say?"
Freyda continued to ignore her, remaining focussed on her father. Once upon a time, Ealdgytha had been a kind and loving mother, but not anymore. Something had changed within her over the years and lately, Freyda's rebellious nature had resulted in mother and daughter being constantly at conflict with one another.
The young girl saw her father shift in his seat, blatantly uncomfortable under her scrutiny.
"Wulfhere, make her answer!" Ealdgytha said, turning to him for assistance.
Her husband glared at her as if he resented her prompting. Then he looked back at Freyda and his daughter knew by the burning in his eyes that he was quietly seething. Growing up witnessing many of her parents' arguments had given Freyda enough insight into their relationship to know that her mother had a way of making her father feel inadequate.
"What were you thinking of Freyda, running off to tryst with this fellow in the woods without your mother's knowledge?" Wulfhere demanded.
She could tell he was forcing himself to look at her. She steeled herself for the coming onslaught and said with as much courage as she could muster, "We could not help ourselves. We are in love."
"Love?" Wulfhere rebuked. "Don't be foolish, girl. What could you know of such things? You have been listening to the songs of too many scops."
Freyda looked down at the floor. She knew it would be imprudent to argue. "I am sorry Father.... if I have disappointed you in any way," she said somewhat more meekly.
"She should have a good whipping!" Ealdgytha broke in angrily, turning her head toward Wulfhere. "My father would have had me skinned alive had I dared to behave so disobediently!"
"I have always been a dutiful daughter," Freyda objected. "Surely that has to count for something."
"You know who this boy is?" Wulfhere asked. His voice had softened a little. He gave Ealdgytha a look that told her that he was in charge. He had never laid a finger on any of his children over the years but if he had to, it would be his decision not hers.
"She knows, husband. Of course she knows who he is," Ealdgytha interjected impatiently.
Freyda smiled inwardly, pleased that her parents were still at odds with one another, if not in the bed-chamber then elsewhere in their lives. She knew that her mother would be silently willing Wulfhere into action and his lack of it so far would infuriate her. Freyda was strangely comforted by this and hoped she could use this fact to her advantage.
"I know he is the son of Helghi; that there is contention between you and his father. But it has nothing to do with Edgar or I." She spoke assertively and with confidence.
" It has everything to do with you and since you have described yourself as a 'dutiful daughter', I would not have expected you to go running into the woods to meet with a lad whom you know to be the son of your father's sworn enemy; a man who caused the death of your own uncle!"
The harshness in Wulfhere's voice sent a shiver down Freyda's spine, causing her to flinch. She could see him clutching at the scrolled arms of his chair with such force that his knuckles blanched with the intensity of his grip. "Aye.... 'Tis true, daughter. My brother Leofric's life was lost because of Helghi, the night my own stables were burned to the ground and my horses killed."
Freyda felt the tears gather in her eyes but held on to them, refusing to let them go. She lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, "T'was not Edgar's doing Father and it was never proved that it was Helghi who caused your stables to burn. Please papa, I want you to end the feud and allow me to marry him."
She recoiled when she heard her mother gasp in horror. She kept her eyes lowered and did not look up, feeling their disgust penetrate through the air.
Wulfhere ignored her request. Instead he focused on another more important matter. "Does this man have carnal knowledge of you?" His voice was severe and dramatic.
Freyda felt a storm brewing. She quivered, her boldness greatly diminished. For the first time in her life she was afraid of her father.
Wulfhere lunged forward in his chair causing startled gasps from the women. "Answer the question! Or so help me God, I will skin and gut him and stick you in a nunnery quicker than you could spin thread!" The thegn's eyes were ablaze with anger and his handsome features were blanched with rage.
Though she shook with fear, she remained steadfast in her resolve and determined that she would stand strong, defiant to the last. She lifted her face and narrowed her eyes at Wulfhere, more like a conniving cat than the playful kitten she was to him. Let him think what he likes!
The desire to hurt him as he was hurting her burned within her. She was like a cornered animal. She fought back the urge to smile, satisfied that she could see the pain etched on his face. Like the cat who had struck out with its claws, she had drawn blood. She knew that the thought of his daughter giving herself to a man he loathed, would be a wound deep enough to cause him terrible pain. And so what? Was that not retribution enough for the pain she was feeling now? She clenched her teeth, set her jaw firmly and continued to say nothing.
"Answer the question!" Wulfhere demanded again, frustrated at her stillness. "Am I to take it that by your silence you are guilty of having given yourself to this man?"
When no answer was forth-coming, Wulfhere suddenly kicked out at the heavy oaken table and caused it to fall from the dais and crash onto the floor in front of her. The remains of their lunchtime meal flew in all directions, wooden bowls and clay cups crashed to the floor.
"Answer your father Freyda!" demanded her mother, rising to her feet. She looked somewhat shaken herself at the ferocity of Wulfhere's rage.
"No! He does not have carnal knowledge of me!" Freyda replied, as she sprang out of the way. She let out a gasp as one of the cups smashed by her foot and a piece cut her ankle. With a cry of fear Sigfrith ran to her protectively. She had been watching from the other side of the hall, poking her head out from behind a partition.
Freyda looked up at her father as he stood on the dais. The anger that he had tried to suppress had reached boiling point when he had kicked out. Freyda had seen him display such rage before but she had never thought to be the cause of it and it filled her with horror as to what would come next. Her resolve was beginning to crumble and her mouth and chin were quivering. Sigfrith's arms were thrown defensively around her and Freyda was grateful for her presence. Good Sigfrith, stoical and stalwart, lent her courage to continue and she stared at him, forcing herself to hide her fear and remain defiant. His brow was furrowed sternly and his mouth set in an unsympathetic line. His hands were clenched into fists as he stood towering over her on the dais. She saw that every part of his being shook with anger and her heart beat anxiously.
"You will never see Edgar Helghison again. Do you understand?" Wulfhere stated grimly.
Freyda gave no reply. She refused to hang her head in shame, for she had done nothing wrong. She wanted to scream at them that she would see him whatever they made her do and that it would be futile for them to order her not to. But she had seen her father's anger explode like never before and was not certain that she wanted to see the whiteness of his fury again so soon.
"Do you understand?" he repeated. There was an ominous threat in his voice. "I have never beaten you before, daughter, but I can assure you that I will not baulk at giving you the whipping you deserve, if you ever defy me again!"
Freyda looked toward her mother, who had resumed her sitting position. Her expression was approving and smug. She is loving every minute of it, she thought, narrowing her eyes at her.
"Your father has spoken Freyda," Ealdgytha said and gave her daughter a look of disdain in return. "There are to be no more secret meetings with this man."
Freyda retorted passively with her feline stare. She nodded and made an obeisance. With a toss of her head, she left the hall, her face burning with her own quiet rage and her mind already scheming.

MOHD Zulfahmi Khairuddin defied the odds and a wrist injury that had hampered him all weekend to grab a worthy sixth place finish from 11th on the grid in the Grand Prix of Qatar on Sunday.It was a finish that the Red Bull-KTM-AirAsia rider was satisfied with, particularly after struggling through the three practice sessions and qualifying.
That sealed a strong start to the opening race weekend of the season as Zulfahmi, 21, saw Spanish teammate Luis Salom grab victory in style, ahead of Maverick Vinales and Alex Rins.
"I am very satisfied with the race. The team worked very well throughout the weekend," said Zulfahmi, who is touted as a title challenger this season after finishing seventh overall last season.
"During the practice sessions we had to work hard, and that is the same thing I did at the start of the race.
"I was passed by many riders, but I managed to recover and climb to sixth.
"However, I was unable to catch the leading group. Despite this, I'm very happy with the result at the first race and I hope to improve in Austin."
Zulfahmi's trip to the United States for the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, Texas on April 19-21, however, will depend on the outcome of further examinations of his left wrist injury at the National Sports Institute (NSI) on Friday.
He initially sustained the injury in a crash at the Catalunya Grand Prix in 2011, but suffered a recurrence during his final pre-season tests in Spain last month.
There wasn't sufficient time for Zulfahmi to recover before the Qatar race, and the NSI has called him back into the treatment room upon his return.
NSI chief executive officer Ahmad Shapawi Ismail yesterday said Zulfahmi will be required to undergo an ultrasound scan.
"It will be to determine the extent of the damage, upon which we will seek advice from specialists.
"Then we will have to take the SIC's opinions as his manager and sponsor before making further decisions," said Ahmad Shapawi.
"After initial examinations, our doctors believe that surgery will be required to prevent the injury from recurring.
"But if Zulfahmi's schedule doesn't permit, we will have to provide physiotherapy to reduce the impact of the injury on his performances."

This card was a total case from a combo of a few cards that were posted during the Summer Mini, but I think Jackie Topa was the biggest case. Needless to say, the stamps are now retired.
Stamp Set: Go Graduate
Inks: Basic Black
Paper/Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Basic Black Satin Ribbon, 11/4"square punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, slit punch, linen thread colored with basic black ink to tie the diploma
On the inside I stamped the feet from the same set and placed a gift card there so the feet were peeking out.
Now over the next few days I will post lots of info about the blog tour projects so check back regularly.
Thanks for stopping by.

Here we go again, a day late. But I had this brainstorm. We need a different view of our work space. We always show the desk top and what we are working on but here's another view.
It's Thursday and Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday was yesterday, and I figure with as many that join in it takes a few days to check everybody out. So nobody will realize I late, again.
If you are wondering what I'm talking about and haven't joined in yet, check out Julia page. We get to peek at workspaces all over the world. It's fascinating, and we all have so much in common.
Just a little fun today, thanks for visiting.

Just like my space!! Stuff all over the floor as well as the desk. So encouraging to see someone else's room in the same state!!! You are right in saying it takes a long while to get around - as is evidenced by the fact that it is now Saturday evening - and I'm still leaving comments!ReplyDelete

BB-8 definitely has a head but not so much a neck, so wearing a dashing scarf as a fashion accessory isn't really a possibility. We guess R2-D2 and C-3PO will have to pick up the slack. You know C-3PO would rock some scarf action.
Don this BB-8 Infinity scarf to show your infinite love for the new droid. The super lightweight scarf features a repeating red and orange pattern of BB-8s. When you scrunch it down around your neck, it's kind of difficult to make out what the design is, but then you can unfold it and let everyone ooh and aah at your new movie merch. Well done.

If you ask anyone I know, they would probably confirm that I have always loved taking pictures. When I was a little girl, I had several disposable cameras and always loved capturing every moment I could, from family gatherings, to everyday life and venturing into nature and textures. I was often referred to as the "paparazzi" of the family. Now that I have my own little guys, I intend to capture as much of their life as I can.
Please browse through the albums below and explore some of the special moments I have captured.

Another year passing by, moments running like crazy. I feel a little bit old. Can't believe is 2016!! But if that is true, and I know it is, then I'll just have to make a post, on year's first day about what I wish to do and be in 2016.
First, I want to be thankful to everyone that made 2015 awesome. It could be better, but we need to stop wishing more and more, and start realizing that life is all about this moment we live, about the present, and neither the past or future really count. The moment I live writing this post should be and is, important for me. Because, life is made of little moments and things we should start enjoying, and there's another little mention I want to make: little thing after little thing is making the big one!
- mindful: is one of the keys to success! I really need to pay a little more attention to the surroundings.
- carefree: I am worrying way too much. That's why this year I will learn to throw the weights away and enjoy the life as it is. No more sceneries, no more worries!
- devourer of books: I already started the 100 book challenge last year. But was too hard to finish it, so I remained at 36. Enough, but not really! 2016 is the year! I need to read at least twice as much as in 2015!
- inspired: one of my favourite things to be. I love to feel the wave of inspiration taking me away.
I am an artistic spirit and I love it!
- thirsty for knowledge: another of my favourite things to be! 'Cause I can't understand how can you exist without putting lots of questions? I can't. I put 1000 questions per second. I love to find more and more about the things around me.
- traveller: the feeling of freedom and the avid thirst for discovering and exploring...
- empathic: is the major necessity for the human nation. We need to be more empathic. We need to put ourselves in other's skin, stopping the wrong judgement and starting to understand the persons surrounding us.
- courageous: I started this year great and I hope it will continue like this and even better - I already did some things I never did before or even dreamt about...
- dreamer: I will keep being this one. 'cause dreams are my only treasures, and Dreamland is the only place to be.
- thankful: never the last thing to be. It's the most important on Earth, to know how to be thankful for everything you have. And when I say everything I really mean it: the simple fact that you breath, or have water to wash, light in your home, food to feed your family, education, learning possibilities, some bread on your table... Are LOTS of people out there without this possibility. So don't waste it and be THANKFUL!

New Zealand 33 - 10 Argentina
If you have ever wanted to witness a woman having a nervous breakdown, then you should have had front row seats in my lounge here in Whitechapel this morning. A fired up Argentina made New Zealand dig deep for a good 70 minutes before the All Blacks were able to lift themselves and book themselves into a semi-final. It's been 8 long years coming. And after Julio Farias Cabello fired across for a try in the first half, I thought we were looking at another potential inglorious upset. Cue more nail biting and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Argentina came out and played so well. Strong defensively, holding the ABs tryless in the first half, the Pumas executed their game plan, slowing down the ball and throwing themselves into rucks. But what I took heart from in this New Zealand performance was the way the All Blacks absorbed the pressure and kept their shape. With patience they continued to niggle (god, I hate that word this week) away on attack and were finally rewarded with a Read try in the second half.
What were the good points of this game? The man of the match was most definitely Piri Weepu who announced on the world stage that he is now the new heartbeat of a team still grimacing from Carter's absence. His kicking in hand and at goal were top drawer. Not so promising was Colin Slade who had yet another shaky start, but what about Cruden?! Two weeks ago he was watching the tournament on television with a cup of a tea and a biscuit. Would he then in his wildest dreams have imagined that tonight he would be thrust into the thick of a quarter final. And boy, he played well, trying things on the gainline, chancing his arm and executing with confidence. Could this still turn out to be a fairytale for a boy who has already in his life had to beat cancer and all the other demons that go along with that terrible disease.
This was New Zealand's first proper test at the world cup. It may not have been the thrashing that some people were predicting, but it is better Argentina put the All Blacks under pressure and gave them a game. Honourable mentions: Brad 'the engine room' Thorne. 37 years old (my age!). He gives us all hope and he did if often with a smile on his face. Cory Jane has magic, even if he has been a bit *ahem* naughty this week. Sonny Bill - he has to be in the starting 15 somewhere next week. Mario Ledesma - subbed with ten minutes to go, a Puma that has played four world cups walked off the rugby pitch one final time as an international. Tears in his eyes, looking to the heavens, the image of this emotional hardened warrior will stay with me for a long time. This is why I love rugby.
Australia 11 - South Africa 9
I didn't know who I'd rather NZ face next week. But now it is Australia, the All Blacks main foe and banana skin when it comes to world cups, I feel slightly (ok more than slightly) worried. Cue endless column inches and tireless cliches for the next week about the Dingo Deans/Graham Henry rivalry from our ever unoriginal New Zealand rugby journos.
Australia did not have the territory or possession but it didn't matter, because the Springboks could not muster a way of scoring a try. Like England, they have been left behind. I think the right four teams have made it through to the semi finals. Four teams that are not afraid to play some decent, attacking rugby. The Springboks and their supporters will be mightily disappointed and I feel for them, but heck and hey, they won the world cup last time, it's nice to share things around.
Australia are now almost back to full strength with an on fire Pocock leading the charge. Is it a coincidence or something more that the four teams that have made it through all have exceptional players at number 7? So, this time next week we will know who will be in the final. I am not making any more predictions as I failed so miserably this week (only picking the ABs to overtake Argentina). This world cup could be anyone's, and at least it will be won by a team that is prepared to play with some inventiveness (as long as that team is not Australia).

Knotted Fingers
We could play a game of I Spy with this photo. I spy a recent Goodwill owl purchase, a glass from two days ago, seven haphazard pillows, a salt shaker being used as inspiration, and a lazy Layla-Butt.
During my next break to rest my fingers I'm planning on spending some quality time with the owl giving him a makeover. I'm kind of excited.
And now I bid you goodbye because I am itching to put the glass in the dishwasher, mail back the netflix movie, and place the pillows back on the couches.

I just snort laughed. That's how every room in my house looks when I'm working on something because of neglect, but ESPECIALLY when I've got a sewing project going. I have to drag everything out and use the living room floor and dining room table. Too funny.

A couple of weeks ago I received a Piggyback Rider from KidStuffPR. I was excited about this because I asked for this product to review and all opinions of it are 100% mine..
The Piggyback Rider is a shoulder mounted foot bar for a child to stand on. As the parent you wear the Piggyback Rider on your back like a backpack. This fits very well and is comfortable. It clips across my chest and I can adjust the height of the bar. The bar is what is very cool about this. The bar is what Eva stands on when I take her for a Piggyback Rider ride. The video above shows how Eva and I use the Piggyback Rider. Please view the video on Youtube and leave me comments and ratings.
The first time I ever used this and put Eva on the bar she shouted how much fun she was having. The first time too I just put her into the child harness and put her onto the bar but forgot to have her put on shoes. So after the initial excitement I asked her if she was enjoying the ride, she said, "No". It was then that I realized that she was not wearing shoes and little feet on a metal bar with no shoes can be uncomfortable so check for shoes on your kids if you are going to use this.
So, I got Eva into some shoes and into her winter coat and we took a walk around the block. I really enjoyed this because Eva could see a bunch fo things from a different perspective and I didn't have to worry about her pulling on my hand to get away and walk someone unsafe. She was strapped to my back and wasn't going anywhere. We could talk about things and enjoy the walk. she could enjoy the ride.
I can see that there are many places that I could use this. First thing that comes to mind is Disney. Rather than having to take a stroller a park it all over the place we could save time and space and plus we'd always know where Eva was. another great place to use this would be at a parade. Rather than have Eva have people in front of her so she can't see she could be up higher than everyone and see everything. Again having an idea of exactly where she was puts my mind at ease.

It's one thing to say your social network will never be like Facebook, it's another to enshrine that promise in legal documents. Ello, a social site whose claim to fame is an anti-ad manifesto, is doing just that by filing to become a public benefit corporation.
A benefit corporation is a company that chooses to be socially conscious of how its decisions affect not just shareholders or investors, but also its customers, employees, and the environment. Ello won't get any tax benefits for being a do-good social network, but the charter the company filed prevents current and future investors and owners from ever profiting from ads or user data.
"In other words, Ello exists for your benefit, and will never show ads or sell user data," Ello founder Paul Budnitz wrote in a Thursday Ello post.
Ello is growing rapidly, ballooning to 1 million members in the last two months, according to Wired. Another 3 million are waiting to be let in. The network also announced that it raised $5.5 million in venture capital, but its investors had to sign the ad-free charter, which you can read in full here.
So if ads are off the table forever, how will the social network make money? Budnitz plans to model Ello after the most successful company in the world: Apple.
"We will make money, and we are a business, and we have been really open about that since the beginning," Budnitz told Inc.in an interview earlier this month. "Our model is based on a very successful business model that has been applied to all kinds of other things except social networking, which is the iPhone model. In its most basic form, Ello will be fun and free to use. But after that there are features that some groups want really badly--for example one of the most requested features is the ability to control multiple accounts from a single log in. We might charge a dollar for that. It would be like the App Store."
That sounds good, but it's not exactly similar to how Apple makes money. Apple's model is to sell you expensive hardware at a comfortable profit margin, and the software and services--and even the App Store--enhance the experience to make you want to buy the hardware. Apple wouldn't give you a basic iPhone for free and then upcharge you to add more features that you want really badly. If you wanted features Apple isn't providing, you'd probably go buy a different phone.
Anyway, Ello is technically still a beta network that has tons of ideas about features to add but isn't fully built out yet. Users are dying for a "like" or "favorite" button, which Budnitz says is coming, but don't expect the feature to be like Facebook's or Twitter's. Budnitz in an Ello post earlier this month recommended people use the bread emoji to signify a nod or thumbs up. It's a little unconventional, but, hey--that's Ello.
In the meantime, the network has added a notification center, blocking and muting functions, and is working on better search, an NSFW mode, sound and video embeds, and a couple much-needed apps. Ello might never be as big as Facebook, but if it keeps working to woo skeptics, it might just be a viable alternative.

Yummy Yummy! My husband LOVES ribs....me? I like them done my way.
(I got this picture from "Tyler Florence .com" But I don't cook mine his way)
But this is my recipe for some great tasting comfort food.
My Way.....
Ingredients (basic's....add along anything in the spice cabinet you like)
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar (sometimes I don't use any sugars)
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 3 tablespoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons - optional...any spice mix you own and love. I like to add Penzy's spice mixes to my rub.
(quick note: when I add Penzy's Spice I generally pick up : Northwood and or/Northwood Fire)
1. option A, Mix ingredients in a medium sized bowl and hand rub all over the meat on both sides
2. option B, lazy, cause I make these all the time....shake each ingredient from the jar onto curved side of the ribs. I don't rub the flip side until I turn them over.
3. Cooking slowly at 325. About an hour and a half, flip the ribs.
4. Rub the flipside if you haven't yet.
5. Cook for an hour more....3 hour cook is no big deal for ribs
6. Easy to cook, check after a while to make sure you don't dry them out (I can't help you there, BBQ sauce helps after the fact)
Have a great meal!

I have already shared with you Slava Zaitsev Spring-Summer men's runway show which was presented during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia. Today, I bring to your attention womenswear. Despite the low-key and even conservative look, women's apparel looks bright and diverse. Models appeared on the catwalk wearing 1920's inspired fur collars, shirtdresses, lush 1950's inspired skirts, retro hats, bright umbrellas and tights. Next thing, which was spotted in the runway, was the wide range of sundresses embellished with sparkling brooches, plaid suits, transitional jacquard coats for summer wear, silk floor length ensembles, etc. I would say it's quite Dior-addicted with a new look. I felt in love with white look, which is clean, elegant and aristocratic.
The wide brim red hat looks great worn with polka dot outfit, which consists of a belted tailored peplum crewneck top and A-line, pleated ankle length skirt.
As you have already noticed, models wear outerwear with stand-up collars, making it look sophisticated and expressive. Most of looks are finished with long gloves and massive accessories, like necklaces, bow-ties and statement neckpieces. Speaking of hairstyles, then I see greased back hair, as well as lush updos with falling curly locks. The make-up is classic, featuring beautiful red lips. Looking through these images I can summarize collection, by naming it bright, original and aristocratic in a Russian manner. It's wearable art.
That's a perfect, evening look, which can be named as cape-dress with one long sleeve, which is cinched at the waist with a wide, red belt.
This is a beautiful printed purple long sleeve sundress which looks perfect with statement jewelry and purple tights.
There is kind of retro vibe in this tailored, belted ensemble. I recommend to wear this piece at cocktail parties.
That's another great monochrome look, which is ideal for special occasions, as well as red carpet events. Love the black, elbow length gloves.
That's my favorite one. The totally white look, which includes a wide brim tailored hat, long coat embellished with fur, pullover and pleated straight pants.
The following jacquard coat looks great with quilted shawl collar. That's the outerwear which can be worn at theaters or operas.
The modernized Prince of Wales printed coat is embellished with a feather fur. That's the cover-up which will make you stand out from the crowd.
The shapeless outerwear looks very 1990's inspired to me, or I would say too much mannish?
If you are an experienced businesswoman and you like wearing retro style clothing, then this checked skirtsuit is what you really need.
The tweed, blue checked cover-up looks Chanel-like to me. I love the way it's styled with black separates.
That's a party appropriate business outfit. You can wear it at formal meetings and dinners.
Here we see another retro inspired outerwear with balloon sleeves which looks sweet with a tailored cloche hat.
That's a nice business skirtsuit in red-black checks. I love the way it's worn with red tights and tailored black hat.
The same as the previous one, but this time it's a tartan coatdress. What I love about this particular look, then it's the perfect fit.
The belted tartan coatdress looks great and versatile. You can wear it in the streets and semi-formal occasions.
This suit looks great with a black, glossy, quilted jacket. It looks functional and classy.

The leading candidates for London Mayor have attacked plans for a 20- screen multiplex on Crystal Palace Park designed by Ian Ritchie Architects.
To an audience of local residents, Trevor Phillips, who represented Frank Dobson, Ken Livingstone, and Green Party candidate Darren Johnson all said the plans, being developed by London and Regional, are unacceptable, despite the fact that planning permission has already been awarded for the £60 million project.
Livingstone said: 'There is no justification for consuming any of the remaining green space that exists in London.' He added that if he wins next week's elections in the capital he would give Johnson, who he has hinted may become his deputy, the resources 'to go through every clause and dot and comma in the legislation. If we can stop it we will stop it'.
Phillips said: 'I believe that if we cannot get the protection we need, we have no alternative but to say to developers, in this case London and Regional, if you do not want this to be the last development you ever make in London, then you need to talk to the community, you need to rethink your ideas.'
Around 1000 local residents heard the candidates speak on the plans, which have already been given the go-ahead by the Borough of Bromley.
Meanwhile, with just a week to go before London voters go to the polls to select the mayor, the designers of the headquarters of the Greater London Assembly have hit back over criticisms of their plans by the main candidates.
Spencer de Grey, partner at Foster & Partners, told the aj last week that fears the building will be ostentatious are based on misunderstanding.
Foster & Partners' glass bubble design for the south side of London Bridge has been described as 'grandiose' and 'exclusive' and being 'right site, wrong building' by Susan Kramer and Steven Norris, respectively. Frank Dobson's deputy, Trevor Philips, raised doubts about the design and Ken Livingstone claimed the building may be too expensive (aj 6.4.00).
'They say these things because they don't know much about the building and we'd be happy to give them a more detailed briefing,' said de Grey. 'It will be an important symbol of a new political era. I don't think the mayor should be hiding away - that is a very British way of thinking.'
Norris and Kramer have both hinted that they would prefer the use a conversion of an existing building as their headquarters, but, despite their objections, construction on the gla building has already started at its London Bridge City site. The building is being developed by cit Group and the government has signed a 25-year lease fixed for seven years at £4.75 million a year

When I was a senior in high school, I was lucky enough to be able to take a two-week class trip to Switzerland and France. It was the first time I'd ever traveled internationally (Canada doesn't count), and it was that trip that planted the seed of wanderlust in my mind. Unfortunately, it was so long ago that I don't really remember specifics about what we did, but here is where we went:
We flew into Zurich and then took a bus to Lucerne, where we spent two days walking through the streets, going on a boat ride, and relaxing in a field of daffodils on a hill (until we were asked to leave by the person who probably lived there... dumb American kids...). From there we went on to Gruyeres, which I remember LOVING. It was a quaint little cobblestoned village on a hill, where we sat in a cozy wooden lodge and had the most incredible cheese fondue for dinner. From there we went to Geneva, visited the Palace of the Popes, and ate crepes. We took a day trip to Monaco and Monte Carlo, where we got our first glimpse of the sensational cerulean sea, and then it was on to Nice, where we lounged on the beach, had very memorable gelato, and wandered through the streets in the warm evening. We visited a few big, beautiful estates--Chartres, The Palace of the Ladies, Chambord, and finally, the magical Mont St. Michel. We visited Normandy on Easter Sunday, which was very moving, even for someone who isn't generally "moved" by military history (that'd be me). And finally, our bus pulled in to Grand Paris.
Our first night in the city, we walked up to Montmartre and spent the evening strolling through the winding streets (and being sketched by adorable elderly French ladies). The next morning we hit the ground running, visiting Notre Dame, the Louvre, Versailles, and ending the trip with an evening cruise along the Seine, watching the sun set and seeing the lights come out. It was magnifique. And then it was all over! We got back on a plane and flew back to the States, where I went back to high school.

Bic Soleil RazorReviewing: Bic Soleil Razor W/Shower Holder | Rating:
I purchased my Bic Soleil Razor w/Shower Holder at CVS for $6.99. The package contains one razor, two cartridges and one shower holder. It is packaged in a tear drop shape hard shell plastic. I found the packaging very eye catching. Bic Soleil Razors have a soothing moisture strip containing aloe and shea butter. Each razor has three blades and a pivoting head for contour areas. The handle is curved to fit my hand with a soft rubber grip.
I have always used disposable razors in the past because they are so much cheaper than razors with replacement cartridges. I had a coupon for this razor and I thought I would give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I like this razor. I love that it has a soft grip handle and a pivoting head. No longer are the days of cutting myself while trying to shave around my knee and ankles. The moisture strips are great for leaving my skin soft and smooth. The blade on this razor has lasted longer than any other razor that I have tried and I have tried numerous brands. I can definitely recommend this razor, it has become my favorite.

It starts off with Culo from Chile. Culo delivers 18 songs coming in at almost 3 minutes. Their style is mostly headpounding noisecore with vocals screamed at the top of the lungs and saturated with inaudible guitars and blasttastic drums. The Chilean band sets the tone and grindmasters Disinterested Handjob from the land Down Under quickly follow with their 6 equally short bursts of rapidfire, though their general outlook is abit less noisy than Culo.
The Equadorean band Menso Noise offers a lengthy track mostly consisting of a guy talking in portuguese with concentrated blasts of grind. On the next quest to destroy music is the American band Gorgonized Dorks which is somewhat a surprise on this release as the music could probably best be described as industrial drony noise with occassional explosions of ear-tearing screams and distorted instrumentation. Quite apocalyptic, really.
Going in a different direction the Danish shit-themed grindcore band Fækal Omsorg (Fecal Care in English) are the only band on the release to have actual riffs and what could very well be actual song structures. The Danish toilet-warriors have a more well-defined sound and a much better vocal performance than most of the bands on the split.
Next comes Drongo, another Australian grind-mutant. Drongo's 11 cellphone mic-quality songs sort-of stand out from most of the music on this split by having parts that sounds predominantly black metalish. The last two bands, the Americans "Infecting the Dissected" and "Video Nasty", are more of the obvious Anal Cunt worship that's generally going on here on this split. Borderlining plain noise these two enemies of melody and harmony offer their cacophonous paroxysms of noise as a final prayer and sacrifice to the gods of noise.
The average song length on the split can't be much, and it would seem that this tendency to blink-of-an-eye lengthed tracks is an ongoing trend amongst noisy grindcore bands. The influences from Napalm Death's first album "Scum" and the noisecore legends Anal Cunt are numerous and obvious, ranging from the songs that are barely even music to the "micro-songs" that have become so fashionable in grind music.
I must say that rating and grading a split like this is a rather troublesome task. The music is utterly chaotic and mind-numbingly vile, but since this is most likely the goal it would seem that the bands of the release have succeeded. And then, if I give them a low grade like 3 or 4, would it be seen as a great compliment or a grievous insult?
For the most part I'd say that it was very difficult to enjoy this split. Perhaps that was intended. Be that as it may, I enjoyed Fækal Omsorg's part and I was rather surprised to find that I also enjoyed the one track by Gorgonized Dorks.
All in all I think this split deserves 3/10 guitars. Whether this is good or bad, I'll leave for the readers to decide.

<Scary Person>
Sorry for the delay for this review guys. I actually watched this episode on Monday but I only managed to review it today. School has started to end really late. Anyway, on to the review, I'll try to focus more on writing about my thoughts and opinions.
Episode 6 starts off with Yukine being confused about his emotions. Since Yato forced him to attack the Phantom in the previous episode despite Yukine being against it, the young Regalia has been fidgety.
I must admit, I was really shocked when Yukine stole the skateboard. I thought that after Hiyori scolded him the previous time, he would not attempt it again. I read many comments about hating Yukine since he is being pretty useless in this episode. Some even suggest that Yato should just choose Nora over Yukine because Nora is much stronger. I agree that Nora is stronger than Yukine. What she did to Bishamon's Regalia was incredible. Still, give Yukine a chance guys. He definitely has a difficult past that we have yet to discover.
The mysterious goddess appears, with her cool lion Regalia too! Named Bishamon, she is here for revenge. Putting the pieces together on how Bishamon loathes Yato and wants to prevent him from hurting Regalias agin, the Regalia that Yato killed in the past should be Bishamon's favourite Regalia.
I like how Kofuku is so direct about everything. Does Hiyori like Yato? I do this the two of them but I hope that Noragami decides to add romance later into the anime. If it is added too soon, it might ruin the pace. In my opinion, the sudden romance was what ruined my enthusiasm for Sword Art Online, so I hope Noragami doesn't do the same thing.
Have I mentioned how creepy Nora is? Well, I just did. The only sign of her arrival is a ripple in the water before she pops out of nowhere. Will more details about Yato's past be revealed in the next episode? I am really curious about how he met Nora. Besides, why are there so many markings on Nora's body? What do they mean? On a side note, I was shocked to discover that she was voiced by Rie Kugimiya, who is one of the seiyuus I'm familiar with. Sadly, this won't be a character I like.
On to the preview, there's more to Nora and Yato's meeting, but most of it seem to be more light-hearted. With the next episode airing in just a few days, I'm looking forward to it like I always do!

False Match by Lynne Silver
Series: Coded for Love (#2)
Author: Lynne Silver
From: Netgalley
Genre: Romance, Sci-fi
Release Date: 4th April 2016
Challenges: 2016 Netgalley & Edelweiss Challenge, 2016 New Release Challenge, Summer COYER 2016, Can You Read a Series in a Month?, 2016 Prequel & Sequel Challenge (2 points)
Links: Goodreads - Amazon
Synopsis (from Goodreads): The Program: an organization of elite soldiers with superior strength, agility, and intellect. These men put their lives on the line to execute the government's most dangerous missions. Kidnapped with her son and forced into helping a rogue scientist with his experiments, Dr. Samara Jones saw no escape. Until the day she was rescued by a group of elite soldiers from the Program. Now under the protection of the Program, Samara is working to prove her innocence—and struggling to control the burning need she feels for Chase Stanton, one of her rescuers. As laid-back as he is deadly, Chase is a well-honed solider who always responds to the call of duty, whether it's a life-or-death mission or a scorching night of passion. When he's assigned to protect Samara, he's immediately drawn to the smart, headstrong woman, and confides a dark fear to her—despite feeling torn by his suspicions that she could be a double agent. Duty demands he resist temptation, but desire has its own demands . . .
False Match contains a stand alone romance, however there are links to the previous book in the series, Heated Match, including a story arc that continues in this book, therefore I would suggest not reading this one without reading book 1 first. This review should be spoiler free!
So False Match didn't quite go the way I thought it was going to after I finished the first book. I thought I had the formula figured out but then got taken by surprised! I liked it though, and being taken by surprise was a definite bonus!
This wasn't just a romance in the sense of a man and a woman, but rather it was almost the romance of a family. Not only were Chase and Samara getting close, but there was a lot of time spent on Chase and Samara's son, Luca's growing relationship. I loved the bonding family element, it made the budding relationship between the two leads even more enthralling.
There was more of the science behind the story in False Match and it felt like the things brought to light in the first book were expanded on more. There were also several other side characters that were brought in that helped flesh out what life at the compound was like.
I really enjoyed reading about Samara and Chase's relationship, and Luca definitely just stole my heart!

Press release
AB Ångpanneföreningen (publ) Summary of Annual Report for 2000The result of the ÅF Group's combined efforts in the area of product development and IT exceeded expectations for 2000 with the profit for this business area more than tripling in size to SEK 50 million.
Demand for the entire palette of services offered by the ÅF Group was brisker during the year than at any time in 1999. Measured monthly, capacity utilisation increased over the accounting period from 64 percent to 71 percent, producing an average for the year of 69.5 (1999: 68.2) percent.
Consolidated profit after net financial items, together with proportional interests in associated companies and including the premium refunds from the SPP pensions insurance company, amounted to SEK 331 (55) million. The profit margin was 18.9 (3.4) percent. Refunds from SPP total SEK 299 million gross, which, after present value calculations and deductions for the performance bonus to ÅF Group employees, amounts to SEK 240 million. The previously announced redemption of the Group's pensions commitments with the Pension Registration Institute worth SEK 105 million has been postponed as it is believed that the cost for this will be lower if these funds are redeemed at a later date. This means that previous estimates of a present value figure of approximately SEK 257 million have been adjusted to approximately SEK 240 million. Consolidated profit excluding the SPP refund totalled SEK 91 (55) million. The profit margin excluding the SPP refund was 5.2 (3.4) percent.
Seen for the Group as a whole net turnover rose by 8 percent, half of this rise being attributable to the consolidation of the UK consulting company ÅF-QPS. Turnover for those sections of the Group's commercial activities which are most heavily IT-orientated increased by 19 percent. Personnel figures calculated as the number of full-time equivalents for the year yielded a total of 2,191 compared to 2,222 in 1999.
The Group's profit figures were reduced by performance bonuses to employees amounting to a total of SEK 31 (3) million. Earnings per share after the deduction of 28 percent standard tax amounted to SEK 40.76 (6.90). Net financial items for the year showed a loss of SEK 8 million (SEK 2 million more than in 1999), of which the capital gain amounted to SEK 1 (15) million.
The parent company's turnover totalled SEK 106 (103) million, with profit after net financial items amounting to SEK 25 (5) million. The improved result is due chiefly to the premium refunds from the SPP pensions insurance company.
Net worth, calculated as shareholders' equity with the addition of 80 percent of the surplus value of property, amounted at the year-end to an equivalent of SEK 122 (77) per share.
At the start of the accounting period the ÅF Group acquired operations in Miljöforskargruppen AB, and increased from 40 to 70 percent its ownership stake in ÅF-QPS Consultants, a UK company with around 30 employees. Later in the year the Group signed a cooperation agreement with Joseph Maier Papiertechnologie, which provides improved access to the important German pulp and paper industry market.
More than 700 of the ÅF Group's employees subscribed for convertible bond loans during the reporting period, paying a total of SEK 96 million for the privilege in July 2000.
The number of shareholders in the company amounted to 3,900 on 31 December 2000.
As part of an agreement reached after the end of the reporting period between ÅF-IPK and the owners of CTS Engineering (CTS), a Finnish consultancy engineering company for the pulp and paper industries, ÅF-IPK is to acquire up to 33.0 percent of the outstanding shares in CTS. At the same time CTS is being offered an option to acquire up to 9.9 percent of the shares in ÅF-IPK. CTS is one of the leading consultancy engineering companies in the paper machine sector, and has 230 employees in Finland. Together the ÅF Group and CTS can offer a total of 850 consultants for the pulp and paper industry in Europe.
Consulting activities
The consolidated profit for the Group's consulting activities rose to SEK 99 (61) million. The value of orders on hand on 31 December 2000 amounted to SEK 438 (453) million.
The general trend for consulting services developed positively during 2000, particularly in the areas of development, real estate and property management.
In view of the fact that demand from certain sections of the market was sluggish during the year, the profit margin for Electrical Engineering & Instrumentation, more than 50 percent of whose business comes from IT consulting assignments, was satisfactory. The most profitable business area was Software, Electronics & Mechanical Engineering, which concentrates solely on IT and development services: the profit margin here was very good indeed. HVAC & Sanitation, which is involved in sophisticated projects for the property management and real estate sectors also recorded a good profit margin for the year.
Energy, Environment & Process Technology attracts most of its clients from the energy sector and staple industries. While low levels of investment, especially from the energy companies, had a negative effect on the result for the year as a whole, an improvement in the second six months brought both capacity utilisation and profits up to acceptable levels.
Inspection & Testing continued to improve its results, reporting better figures than in 1999, but even so, the result remains unsatisfactory, despite the introduction of capacity-reduction measures.
The result for Education & Management was slightly poorer than for 1999. The work of restructuring the education company ÅF-SIFU is continuing to proceed according to plan and the company recorded a small profit for the year. The difficulties of securing financing for aid programmes had a negative impact on developments in the Group's international management consulting activities.
Real Estate and Finance Administration
The Group's properties consist of 97 percent offices and are used mainly by the Group's consulting businesses. At the end of 2000 the Group's property portfolio comprised a total of 33,000 square metres of business premises. During the reporting period the Group sold premises in Södertälje for SEK 7 million, which generated a capital gain of SEK 600,000. Net investments in real estate amounted to SEK 10 (36) million.
Towards the end of the reporting period, Fastighetsforum estimated the market value of the Group's properties at SEK 469 (394) million. The book value was SEK 271 (263) million.
On 31 December 2000 the Group's liquid assets, including current investments, totalled SEK 301 (113) million. Interest-bearing liabilities and allocations amounted to SEK 368 (352) million, bringing the Group's net borrowings to SEK 67 (239) million.
It is company policy to propose a shareholders' dividend equivalent to approximately 50 percent of the Group's profit after tax. For the past year profit after tax, excluding refunds from SPP, is approximately SEK 11 per share.
The SEK 240 million refund from SPP corresponds to a profit after tax of SEK 30 per share. This money will be refunded to the ÅF Group in the form of reduced premiums for pension insurance over the course of the next five to six years. During 2000 the refund from SPP was equivalent to SEK 7.50 per share after tax.
The Board proposes a dividend of SEK 5.50 per share, equivalent to 50 percent of the consolidated profit excluding the SPP refunds. The Board also proposes that the refund received from SPP during the year, equivalent to SEK 7.50 per share, be paid out in full. This would bring the Board's proposal for a shareholders' dividend for 2000 to a total of SEK 13 per share.
Outlook for 2001
Forecasts suggest that market conditions for the sectors in which the ÅF Group is active will be somewhat more favourable during the coming year than they have been in 2000. This will probably be most evident when comparing the first six months of 2001 with the corresponding period in 2000. In view of this, it is our considered opinion that the ÅF Group's profit for 2001, notwithstanding premium refunds from the SPP insurance company, will exceed that reported in 2000.

We're excited to announce a new addition to our early childhood programs, Fairley Early Childhood Service. This 115 place centre opens on Monday 16 October 2017. Find out more, and make an enquiry here.
YWCA Canberra delivers early childhood education and care at three services in Canberra – Campbell Cottage, Conder Early Childhood Services, and Winyu House in Gungahlin.
Our centre-based care nurtures and encourages all aspects of children's individual development; all children are treated equally and are respected as individuals. Our team encourages and supports children's individual needs to learn and participate at their own pace through positive feedback. Cultural diversity is a significant consideration in the development of programs, with emphasis on children's social, emotional, creative, intellectual and physical development.
Our services are fully licensed and are rated and assessed by the ACT Government's regulatory body Children Education and Care Assurance (CECA).
YWCA Canberra provides care for all children in our community. If your child requires additional support, please contact our Children's Service office on 6180 5777.
For information about child care fee assistance please contact the Australian Government's Family Assistance Office on 13 61 50.
You can read more about YWCA Canberra's Children's Services here:
My three children have all attended Campbell Cottage… The Centre has lovely facilities since being extensively renovated. The staff are very caring with the children… At the end of every day the staff members know who my children are, what they have been doing and any issues/challenges they have experienced during the day. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Campbell Cottage as a Centre that is run to a very high standard where the children enjoy going and the parents feel comfortable with entrusting their children to its care.
I am the parent of four children… All four of my children attended Campbell Cottage YWCA Childcare Centre over a period of 16 years… Over these many years I have seen Campbell Cottage evolve and develop to meet the needs of the early childhood education sector and, always, to meet the needs of the children in their care and their families. The staff remain at the centre over periods of many years and are supported to develop their knowledge and skills… They are developed as professionals and develop strong links with families and children, bringing a richness to curriculum, a strength in relationships and creating an environment where there is a sense of belonging. I have had the pleasure of being part of Campbell Cottage for a long time and their focus on every child, every day makes it a very special place indeed.

This month's challenge is to incorporate the word JOY in your projects. This should be an easy challenge for this time of the year, right? =)
I gathered up the more festive/holiday-ish images from FOLKal Points, Swanky Snowdudes and Santa Paws sets, then stamped them randomly to create the background. Here is a tip: Never stamp an image straight. If you stamp anything straight on a background like this, they'd look like the focal point and the eye would expect a "story" from them which really isn't what you want here. I learned that the hard way and the evidence is on the back of the card. =) The sentiment phrases are from Joyful Greetings set.
That's all I have. Don't forget to submit your Joyful Creations here for a chance to win 50 Emporium Dollars to use in the Inspiration Emporium Store! Or you can use discount code wonderland at check out to receive 10% off your entire order! =)

September 16, 2010 --The Regional Transportation Authority is painting a bleak picture of the area's mass transit system. RTA officials warn because of ongoing budget problems at the CTA, Pace and Metra, there may be no major expansion or additional service for many years to come.
The agency also predicts a fare increases may be needed as early as next year.
Officials blame the rising cost to maintain the aging transit infrastructure and shortfalls from the state for the ongoing budget problems.

Really cool stuff. Love your blog, you have great taste.By , at 8:03 pm
Random question:
There was this track I got from you that was 4/4 techno or tech house that had this long vocal sample in it that was like a military recording of some pilots or astronauts talking about "sparks coming of the engine" .. they were talking over a radio or walkie talkie.
You know what track this is, can you remember?
I accidentally deleted it, and I keep thinking about it. Please post to comments if you can remember. Thanks!
The only track I can think it might be is The Monitors - ControlBy Leighton, at 10:53 am
Hope that helps, cheers for the comment :)
I'm pretty sure you mean Desert Flight by Break SL - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrvWXz8NBh4By , at 5:15 pm

Do you enjoy drinking a cold one after you get home from work? Want to drink a craft beer on the patio, soaking in the sun on a nice day? Make sure your beer is kept nice and cool in a nice fridge for craft beer. You can keep beer in the main fridge, sure, but if you want to ensure you maintain a nice stock, you would be better off with a special compact fridge. Why? A compact fridge, sometimes referred to as a bar fridge or beer fridge, is a dedicated space for all your drinks (craft beer or otherwise). You don't need to worry about saving space for anything else when you have a fridge like this, and you are even creating space in your main fridge for snacks and other food items you can enjoy while you drink a cold one.
Where might you put a small fridge you ask? Well, one of the other great things about these compact fridges is you can put it almost anywhere, since the size is flexible. Many people choose to keep their Danby – small fridge in their kitchen as well, but you can put it wherever it is convenient! If there is a covered section of your patio, you can put it there and still keep it safe from the weather. Some also choose to put the fridge with their craft beer in the garage or in another room—one of the most popular other choices is an entertainment or home theatre room. With a small fridge full of drinks in the room with you while watching a movie, you no longer have a reason to pause the movie all the time to get up and grab drinks in another room. Enjoy!


text: Now and then, Citro n SM resto specialist Jerry Hathaway has been known to show up at Crystal Cove/Coffee & Cars with a 200mph dry-lakes SM towed on a fifth-wheel trailer by an SMamino. Last night, we were talking with commenter Punkey about how the SMamino may be the greatest car ever because it's a little bit of everything any sensible enthusiast should stay away from: It's French, it's Italian it's a pickup and it's front-wheel drive. Therefore, game/set/match SMamino. Dare to front and an atomic wedgie is in your future.

As promised, here is a little more information on Joseph Timothy Page, famous for his restoration work at Page Ranch between 1923 and 1941. With the help of a shovel and a spading fork, he managed to restore dryland grasses to his ranch that was surrounded by ecologically devastated rangeland. He did all this all at an older age, after retiring and purchasing 160 acres of devastated rangeland to do some farming.
Initially, JT Page intended to dig wells and use well water, but despite digging multiple wells up to 30 feet deep, he never found any water he could use. He and his wife had to bring all their own drinking water in from the local town.

Failed Ad Shoots
It seems like for every good photo there is a bad photo, and for every bad photo there is a decent photo that just doesn't find its way off my computer. Looking through some old photos just now I've noticed a lot of pictures of "dudes in sunglasses." Over the last year or so, I've had the pleasure of shooting for a certain sunglass company, who wanted cool and fun ideas for their ads. Some of the ideas I tried worked and some them didn't, but the photos are still worth something. Here are some of the almost, not quite, kinda cool, just plain stupid ideas and outtakes from my attempts at getting that print worthy photo.
Grubb at the Tire Shop
Grubb wasn't super excited about the tire idea but we got kicked out of the Garbage Dump earlier that morning. He was actually putting on tires no problem.
Grubb Goes Downtown
Not too exciting, aka He's just looking at this phone
Three Grubbs should be better than, one but maybe not
Ben the Merman
Ben swimming like a merman?!?!?!! maybe not
Gator Hunting with Henshaw
Swampy the gator is an exciting background, but not that exciting!
Up close with Balzer
Look at that face, okay maybe a little too much Balzer
Balzer and a dreamcatcher is nice, but maybe he could be eating some Cheetos or something
Henshaw the Homeowner
Getting your mail can be exciting, but only if Silas is cutting your yard for you while you get it
Ben's Bike
It's just a bike in the water I know, I know
Eating the hot dog is good, cooking them is even better
Kevin Henshaw
As it turns out, verticals don't usually work for double page ads, good one to remember.
bike in the water is kinda sick…
VonZipper luvs you and your work brother Bryan… More to come!!!
Diggin the triple exposure!
It's spooky how cevler some ppl are. Thanks!

A representative democracy is and always has been about upholding oligarchy first. Any notions of superior merit are just justifications made after-the-fact; the vote itself is just a public debasement to acknowledge the rightful oligarchs, with a few bones thrown occasionally to people who matter to the oligarchy - people with money and power. The whole point is to convince enough of the lower classes that they're not really so bad off, while beating them if they ever get too uppity.
My bet is that for all this talk, nothing will happen. Too big to fail. Everything is so confusing.

Both Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood were quick to respond via Twitter.
Really Senator Sanders? How can you say that groups like @PPact and @HRC are part of the "establishment" you're taking on? -H
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) January 20, 2016
We respect @SenSanders. Disappointed to be called "establishment" as we fight like hell to protect women's health. https://t.co/kiimTsVw2x
— Planned Parenthood (@PPact) January 20, 2016
Sander's comment came shortly after Planned Parenthood officially endorsed Hillary Clinton. This is the first time Planned Parenthood has ever endorsed a candidate in the presidential primary. Technically, the endorsement is from the Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPAF).
PPAF is a non-profit, which is and is not separated from the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). While PPFA is the system of healthcare clinics around the country, PPAF works on public education, advocacy, and electoral activity to support the mission of Planned Parenthood. However, many people just believe both of these organizations are one group, and that draws a lot of criticism from both opponents of choice and those deeply committed to choice. To further complicate the relationship, Cecile Richards is president of both organizations.
Many reproductive justice organizations led by women of color have expressed frustration and disappointment with the political agenda of Planned Parenthood and it's lack of support for smaller, more grass-root organizations. Additionally, many small, independent women's health clinics often feel it is difficult to compete with Planned Parenthood, which has become a household name synonymous with birth control and abortion access. And now, we have a presidential candidate condemning Planned Parenthood for being part of "the establishment."
Should the organizations be separated? Is Planned Parenthood a part of America's political problems?
While I see the frustration organizations may have with Planned Parenthood, Planned Parenthood also bears the brunt for contraceptive and abortion access. It is a well-established organization (although not without demons in its closet) and the integration of PPAF seems vital to the survival of not only PPFA, but all women's health clinics. There may not be many other large health organizations with a specific political action team, but there are also no other healthcare providers that face as much opposition as Planned Parenthood.
Just today, Planned Parenthood made headlines when a Texas grand jury cleared all allegations of misconduct against Planned Parenthood and instead indicted David Daleiden (from right here in Davis, CA) of the Center for Medical Progress on felony charges of tampering with governmental records. However, the Planned Parenthood video scandal was only one of countless attacks on Planned Parenthood and the women it serves. Just this past year, there was the Colorado clinic shooting and four arson attempts on Planned Parenthood clinics.
Whether or not you agree that Planned Parenthood should have a political action team, what is more important is that Planned Parenthood's clinics continue to provide their services to countless citizens that depend on them. Bernie Sanders's negative affiliation of Planned Parenthood with the "establishment" that he wants to take down was most likely just an ill-spoken comment. However, as many Americans are more familiar with Planned Parenthood as a local health clinic than a political machine, his words have the effect of bolstering even more hostility against a national organization that has worked for years to protect women and women's health. Going forward, it would be preferable to see more transparency from both Planned Parenthood and political candidates as to what area of the organization they are referencing.
