Teacher Appreciation: My "Must Haves"

 Oh....there are FOR SURE more than 3 "must haves" in my room.  Actually, I teach in three different rooms.  So I really could have three sets of "must haves."  But...I'll stick to my top three :)

 Can we really live without Post-its?!  I have them plastered all over the place with to-do lists, reminders, reflections.  And then there are the endless uses for lessons and the kids love to use them!

Markers have become quite a staple in my groups this year.  It started when I didn't have enough pencils sharpened in my reading group.  But I really love using them because I can see their mistakes, use them as highlighters, and they are motivating!

My timer!  I can't live without it.  Just can't!  I use it throughout my guided reading group to keep me on track :)  Look at this poor thing.  It has been dropped, misplaced, lost, and it just keeps on ticking for me!

What are your "must haves?"

a Rafflecopter giveaway

  1. Love the timer and the fact that it keeps on ticking! I just bought a new set of markers this year because so many of mine had dried up. They are wonderful!

    Reading Toward the Stars

  2. We both had post-its and markers on out lists! I definitely use my timer often throughout the day. I have a digital one like yours, but I have the kid use the 1 minute sand timers since they are so much quieter.

  3. How are you using the markers in groups?

Reference values of artificial leather waist belt

KARACHI: The Directorate General of Customs Valuation is developing database values and issuance of reference values of importable items have started yielding results.

Director General Customs Valuation Syed Tanveer Ahmed devised a plan to streamline values of importable values to check under-invoicing, which is not only causing revenue loss to the exchequer, but it also has deprived the local manufacturing of level playing field.

Directorate General of Customs Valuation has initiated an exercise to develop database values for different items wherein it has been observed that declarations are wide range and do not correctly reflect values of the items as traded in the international market.

The reference values artificial leather waist belt under PCT 4203.3000 of China are fixed at $5.5/kg.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE! Sorkin hears a Who!

PART 1—SERVING THE OWNERSHIP CLASS: The best journalism we saw last week was a scornful review of the worst. At Salon, Glenn Greenwald scorched a piece by Andrew Ross Sorkin, a young, post-journalistic tribune of the high plutocrat class.

Sorkin had ventured off to observe the creatures who occupied Wall Street. Greenwald featured the following part of his piece—the passage where Sorkin describes why he went where the wild things are:
SORKIN (10/4/11): I had gone down to Zuccotti Park to see the activist movement firsthand after getting a call from the chief executive of a major bank last week, before nearly 700 people were arrested over the weekend during a demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge.

''Is this Occupy Wall Street thing a big deal?'' the C.E.O. asked me. I didn't have an answer. ''We're trying to figure out how much we should be worried about all of this,'' he continued, clearly concerned. ''Is this going to turn into a personal safety problem?''

As I wandered around the park, it was clear to me that most bankers probably don't have to worry about being in imminent personal danger. This didn't seem like a brutal group—at least not yet.
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,” Thoreau once wrote. By way of contrast, Sorkin went to Zuccotti Park because Daddy Warbucks called.

It may be unfair, but this reads like a parody of journalism after the fall. The post-journalist receives a call from “the chief executive of a major bank.” The plutocrat says he’s concerned about his personal safety. And so the post-journalist hurries off to assess the danger.

In this case, things look OK—for now. Having walked around in the lion’s den, the pimple-faced errand boy announced that his owners don’t really have to worry. “At least not yet,” he skillfully added, doing his damnedest to pimp the concern his plutocrat minders want spread.

The beasts don't look brutal. Not yet.

In attacking this piece, Greenwald showed a good eye for the lunacy of the post-journalist world. But since he focused on the chronology, we thought we might look at the part of Sorkin’s column in which, to quote Greenwald, he adopts “the now-familiar journalistic tone of a zoologist examining a bizarre new species of animal discovered in the wild.”

What did Best Boy Sorkin see when he went where the wild things are? This is the way his column started:
SORKIN: ''I think a good deal of the bankers should be in jail.''

That is what Andrew Cole, an unemployed 24-year-old graduate of Bucknell University, told me Monday morning in Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Mr. Cole, an articulate young man dressed in jeans, a sweatshirt and with a blue wool beanie on his head, had just arrived by bus from Madison, Wis., where he recently lost his job.
Did Andrew Cole, 24, have “a blue beanie on his head?” We will assume that he did. We’ll also assume it’s no accident that Sorkin led his piece with this image. According to Nexis, the New York Times has offered only five references to American men wearing beanies in the past year. Three were references to criminals (this includes Jared Loughner); one involved a man who was forced to wear “a freshman beanie” back around 1900. The fifth reference came in a travel piece about the “waterfront chic” of a hip town in Oregon. The owner of a night spot was described “wearing his scraggly braids beneath a beanie while working the taproom bar.”

Was young Cole decked out in a beanie this day? We will assume he was—and we’ll assume that a certain Best Boy saw the potential there. When boys like Sorkin are sent to war, they know they must write to please the generals. They will often pick-and-choose interview subjects, seizing folk who can help them spread approved images.

So it was that Sorkin seized upon these comically aggrieved beasts:
SORKIN: Some people have suggested the Occupy Wall Street protest is a mere form of street theater, that the protesters have a myriad of grievances with no particular agenda. All of that may be true.

Edward Heath, 36, of Chicago, who is unemployed, said he was participating in the protest, in part, to ensure a more fair tax regime. When I asked about his views on Warren Buffett's "Buffett Rule," he replied: "I really can't comment because I haven't heard of him." But this group may be worth paying attention to if for no other reason than they are organized and growing in ranks. (They are beginning to link up with union organizations.) Later this week, more protests are expected to be staged around the country with the number of protesters swelling. And they are beginning to form groups to develop demands.

"We're disenfranchised," said Chris Cobb, a 41-year-old writer and designer from Brooklyn who was conducting mock interviews with a cardboard television camera and microphone emblazoned with the Fox News logo.
Warren Buffett has been very hot—but Edward Heath, 36, hasn’t heard. Meanwhile, Cobb was more or less talking to people who weren’t actually there.

We weren’t in the park that day. We can’t describe the range of people from whom Sorkin chose. But he did seem to highlight a comical lot—a group he tried to make comical. As he did, he served his masters two different ways. He kept building his column around the suggestion that these people really might be dangerous. And he kept avoiding any consideration of the concerns these wild things had raised.

Andrew’s owner had called him with a fear about personal safety. Result? All through the piece, Sorkin kept returning to questions and insinuations along this line. “There was nothing particularly menacing or dangerous about Mr. Cole,” he said early on—but he kept returning to insinuations about what he called “the public’s lust for the scalp.” In this passage, he seemed to pick and choose his facts with some care:
SORKIN: Consider the protests a delayed reaction to the financial crisis that has now reached a fever pitch as the public's lust for scalp has gone unfulfilled. In Chicago on Monday, one sign read: ''If corporations are people, why can't we put them in jail?''

In Zuccotti Park, several protesters were gathered around a laptop watching an online video that had just gone viral of Rosanne Barr, the comedian, recently interviewed by a newscaster.

"I am in favor of the return of the guillotine," she told a newscaster, in reference to bankers, with a straight face. "I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million," she said, before adding that they should go to "re-education camps and if that doesn't help, then being beheaded." She made the comments without a hint of laughter, yet the group watching around the laptop seemed to be quite amused.
Concerning Barr, Sorkin withheld the news they were even willing to share on Fox. On the October 3 Special Report, Bret Baier reported Barr’s remarks—but he provided a bit of context, telling the folks that Barr “says she is running for prime minister of America for the Green Tea Party.” And if you read the Daily Mail, you even learned that Barr recently said that she “would also be running for Prime Minister of Israel.” Why did the wild things seem amused, even though Barr made her troubling comments “without a hint of laughter?” Perhaps because they thought she was joking, since she actually said this:

“I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount, then they should, you know, go to the re-education camps and if that doesn't help, then be beheaded.” (Our emphasis)

As journalists will often do, Sorkin removed the part of this passage which made it into a joke. Shocked by the words which remained, Sorkin attacked the amusement the wild things took from Barr’s (misreported) words.

At several points from his first sentence on, Sorkin quoted wild things saying that some bankers should be in jail. He referred to this as “the public’s lust for scalp,” but he never tried to say if any illegal acts were involved in the recent financial disasters. Writing like an anthropologist—an anthropologist from Zarkon—he finally offered this assessment of what the wild things think: “At times it can be hard to discern, but, at least to me, the message was clear: the demonstrators are seeking accountability for Wall Street and corporate America for the financial crisis and the growing economic inequality gap.”

Duh. Having managed to discern the world’s most obvious message, Sorkin worked hard, all through the piece, to avoid any sort of assessment. Instead, he closed his column with the perfect nonsense which follows—with silly, brainless pseudo-gotchas designed to please the ownership class which throws him his very good steaks:
SORKIN: Ms. Evans, who said she has made a career of participating in protests, said she had just flown to New York from Los Angeles to join Occupy Wall Street. How did she get here, I asked. "Virgin America," she replied with a smile. But doesn't Virgin America represent the corporations you are trying to fight? "No," she insisted. Referring to Richard Branson, she said, "He's working on creating solar planes."

As I was leaving, having spoken to scores of protesters, I noticed two of them walking over to the A.T.M. at Bank of America. As much as this group may want to get away from Wall Street and corporate America, it may be trapped by it. In the eyes of these young protesters, until they can unshackle themselves from the system—or perhaps make the system work for them—the sense of unrest is unlikely to go away anytime soon.
These beanie-wearing people are protesting corporate wrongdoing. But they fly around in airplanes! And they use bank machines!

You really have to be ownership’s boy to write such perfect nonsense. But then, in some ways, the manifest garbage of this pseudo-journalist isn’t much better than what some of the pseudo-left have done in the past few years.

Occupy Wall Street is a battle for the hearts and minds of the public. The children of the corporate class will try to undermine the protest. They will play silly, stupid games—much like what others have done.

Tomorrow: Desperately needing The Other

Also the striving Petri: In Saturday’s Washington Post, Alexandra Petri wrote the same piece, toned down a bit. Click here; more tomorrow.

  1. "According to Nexis, the New York Times has offered only five references to American men wearing beanies in the past year."

    Here's five more beanies:

  2. "Beanies?" I could have sworn those were zuchettas.

  3. Back in the day when there were still people around who called themselves socialist or (even!) communist, they were regularly challenged in the same way. So how can you take a pay check from a company or institution in this capitalist economy? How can you buy goods made by such companies in stores owned by companies or by private moms and pops? People actually thought they were scoring points with these questions.

  4. And the correct response would be (and this goes for environmentalists who get the same treatment): Yes, and I plan to continuing availing myself of all the advantages of a capitalist economy in pursuit of my political goals. To disarm unilaterally would be to cede the field to my opponents.

  5. I'm really surprised, as a total backer of the demonstrations, how much I disagree with both Greenwald and then "The Daily Howler," whom I find in this instance to be way over the top defensive. Yes, Sorkin is a member of the N.Y. Times establishment, but no more so than Krugman. His snark about the protesters should have, in this instance, been taken with a grain of salt or even humor. To a lot of Americans, these people ARE hippies, but he presented what they had to say without really deriding it, seems to me.
    When Sorkin finally explained to the Wall St. Suit what the protests were about he was pretty much on the money, for which the Daily Howler brought the snark in schoolboy form ("duh"). We should be generally thankful for every instance we get that fair a hearing in the New York Times. This was brought home for me by the interview Harry Shearer did with Naked Capitalism's Yvves Smith on sunday (easy to download on ITunes). Speaking as one of the great unwashed, even when the issues are presented in very basic terms (Smith did a great job) this stuff is very hard for the layman to follow.
    Sorkin gave a good answer to the suit's question, and Greenwald and Somersby should have given credit where credit is due. As the Howler has argued so many times in other situations, this may well pay off in the long run as far as winning people to our side.

  6. Bob says the protests are against "corporate wrongdoing," meaning, I believe, that they're not protesting against all corporations. From what I've read, I don't think their goals can be defined so precisely. If asked precisely who they're protesting, I believe they'd give a variety of answers, including "all corporations", "all financial corporations", "misbehavior by government and by corporations", and "general economic conditions".

    Bob wrote, "the children of the corporate class will try to undermine the protest." I don't know who Bob defines as the "corporate class". No doubt he includes owners, i.e. anyone who owns stock. I supposed he includes employees.

    I'm also unsure what Bob means by "children". I don't think he means it literally. Does it mean people who derive a benefit from corporations? In that case, would the term include customers? How abouit government employees whose salary comes from wealth created by corporations?

    Second point of disagreement: If the protest is against corporate misbehavior, I think the corporate class should be enthusiastic supporters, not opponents. Here's a personal example. After retirement, I was engaged as a technical expert on a lawsuit against AIG, who had committed a fraud amounting into the hundreds of millions of dollars. I was angrier than most at AIG's fraud for two reasons. First of all, their fraud hurt my reputation as an insurance person. Secondly, I had worked for a company that was hurt by their fraud. Their fraud allowed them to take business away from companies that were behaving honestly.

    Here's an analogy. Bob spent years teaching in the inner city. If people were demonstrating against Atlanta's massive, systematic cheating on student tests, would Bob, a member of the "inner city teaching class", want to undermine those protests? Of course not.

  7. I was wondering when you were going to get to this. Good write up. I especially like this part:

    "It may be unfair, but this reads like a parody of journalism after the fall. The post-journalist receives a call from “the chief executive of a major bank.” The plutocrat says he’s concerned about his personal safety."

    Nice job.

Somehow the ship found its way up the Huddersfield Broad Canal and then got stuck as it attempted the first set of locks on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.

1548 : Up And Down In Rochdale

Church Steps in Rochdale date back to the seventeenth century (some would say to the 12th century). For hundreds of years people have been walking between the banks of the River Roch and the hill upon which the church is built. Walking up and down, jogging up and down.

1547 : Two Posers In the Rochdale Sun

There are not many places in the north where you can look at two adjacent Grade 1 listed buildings, but you can in Rochdale. In the foreground of this photograph is the Cenotaph, built in 1922 to a design of Sir Edwin Lutyens. And posing next to it is the 1871 Town Hall designed by the architect Alfred Waterhouse. Two delightful buildings share the winter sun of Rochdale.

1544 : A Balmy Church

St Mary In The Balm, Rochdale (January 2017)
This church is just over one hundred years old and was designed by the architect Sir Ninian Comper. The name comes from the fact that the previous chapel was built in a field where the wild herb, melissa officinalis (lemon balm), was growing. "Baum" is a local dialect form of the word "balm".

1542 : Love And Loathing In Downtown Rochdale

Rochdale Council Offices, Smith Street (January 2017)
Rochdale's municipal buildings range from Victorian grandeur to modern angularity. One should really love the former and loath the latter - but I must confess I was attracted to both.

1541 : A Sign Of Ghosts In Rochdale

There seems to be a growing interest in ghost signs: the internet is full of blogs and sites dedicated to the faded and forgotten signs painted onto sides of buildings. The search for such signs is the kind of passion that is sufficiently eccentric to appeal to people who have nothing better to do - people just like myself. Here is my first contribution to what I hope will be a growing portfolio. The building is on the junction of Yorkshire Street and Penn Street in Rochdale and I am not sure who G L Adamson was. The chances are that, whoever he was, he didn't buy gold.

1540 : The Historic Car Parks Of Rochdale

Rochdale has so many of the makings of a lovely town. It has a town hall that many a substantial city would curl up and die for, it has a rich social history (it is the birthplace of the co-operative movement), and it has a sprinkling of fine old buildings. But it also has dual carriageways that carve their way through the town, and car parks that seem to spread for miles. That is the town hall in the background. That is the car park in the foreground.

1539 : A Spirited History

This is the National Spiritual Church on the corner of Eastwood Street and Martin Street in Brighouse. The carving above the fine circular window suggests that the building used to be a Mission Hall and I was intrigued to discover a little of its history.  Surely there would be some missionary spirits still lurking in the stonework that could enlighten me? Sadly, there were not - but a quick search through the historical record revealed that it was built in 1883 as an "undenominational evangelical organisation" dedicated to bringing the promise of redemption to the working folk of Brighouse. When it started, it had a membership of just five local benefactors, but by the end of the century it was attracting significant crowds and hosting "large meetings at which anthems and hymns were sung to the accompaniment of a string and reed band from Siddal"

1538 : A Cup Of Tea And A Slab Of Parkin

Waring Green Congregational Church, Brighouse : January 2017
There can be few finer sights than the way the sun reflects off Yorkshire stone. It is not like the sun bouncing back off a slab of Italian marble with an air of casual indifference, nor is it akin to the way that red brick causes the sun to slip-slide away. Yorkshire stone absorbs the sun, gives it a cup of tea and a slab of parkin and then sends it on its way again, refreshed and revived.

We are adopting!!!!

I know you have been waiting anxiously....

Izzebel Cadence Mathie
Born June 12th at 830 am
18 1/2" long 6.5 lbs.

She is beautiful, and we love her already... So sorry that it has taken me so long to post, but truly this has been a very emotional week..

Izzebel is a methadone baby.. meaning, her birthmother made some not so good choices at the beginning of the pregnancy, but then started treatment for her drug abuse. Which means methadone.. I know you are probably going oh my gosh why whould she do that?! But, if she had not done methadone... Izzebel could have died... So, it was a good thing.. Unfortunately, poor Izze has been in the hospital over a week now, but we are hoping and praying that we will be able to bring her home Friday.

She truly is a fighter, and amazes me every day..

So, this has been a very trying week to say the least. A lot of up's and down's, and currently we are all asking that you please pray for us, Izzebel, and for the sweet birthmother. We want this to go smoothly, and would love nothing more then to bring Izze home.

Thank you for your support, prayers, and visits. We wouldn't have made it this far without the help of those around us. Especially our family. We love you guys.

:) I love you

Muriel Miller

Wow Sarah! First of all she is absolutely ADORABLE! Seriously she is so cute! I am so sorry to hear what you guys have been going through but just know that we are definitely keeping you in our prayers! We love you guys!

I am so excited for you guys! This is such GREAT news. :) And I'm especially glad that now she's home from the hospital and doing well!

Cavs take out Rangers in three

By Colin Foster

Coldwater's Lauren Gilliland, 2, spikes the ball in front of New Knoxville's Meg. . .

COLDWATER - The Coldwater volleyball team has faced a challenging schedule thus far.
And they've been up for the challenge every time.
The Cavaliers improved to 2-0 in MAC play and 8-0 overall with a brisk three-set sweep of New Knoxville on Thursday at the Palace, winning by scores of 25-11, 25-13, 25-15.
"They're just getting better every day," Coldwater coach Nikki Etzler said. "Something we're talking about all the time is 'What are you going to learn today that's going to help you tomorrow or that's going to help you down the road?' We've got great senior leaders, and our two sophomores are great leaders, too. I mean, Katie Alig is lights out on defense and Lauren Gilliland is great at defending with the block and she's great offensively."
"Our defense and our serve receive is just so exciting, which makes our offense available for us."
The Cavalier arsenal was on full display Thursday.
Olivia Harlamert had four kills early in the first set, helping Coldwater open up an 11-2 advantage. The Rangers crept back into the contest momentarily as a Tasia Lauth kill and a Caitlin Lammers block cut the deficit to 12-8. But Gilliland threw down three emphatic spikes as part of a 15-3 run to end the set with a 25-11 win.
The Rangers (4-1, 1-1 MAC) took their first lead of the match early in the second set when a couple kills by Taylor Doty gave them a 5-4 lead. But Gilliland followed with back-to-back kills, and Coldwater never trailed again in the set. Gilliland racked up more kills along the way and later secured the victory with a block.
New Knoxville had a 1-0 lead in the third set, but never led again. The score was tied at 3 and 5. Allison Sudhoff took the service line with Coldwater leading 12-9 and racked up two aces as part of a three-point run. Tasha Kahlig finished the set strong for the Cavs with a six-point service run and a handful of kills that helped them pull away.
"We just wanted to make (our serves) aggressive and to take them out of their offense," Etzler said. "We knew they have some really talented hitters."
Kahlig had a match-high 12 kills for Coldwater. Gilliland had 10 kills and five blocks, Elena Knapke totaled 35 assists, Katie Alig was 20-for-22 on serve receive and had seven digs and Sudhoff tallied four kills and three blocks.
Coldwater travels to face Van Wert on Monday and then is back in MAC play on Thursday, traveling to Parkway.
"It's a cat fight every night," said Etzler of playing in the MAC. "It's exciting, though, to play teams like that every night. It really challenges you. You can see your strengths. You can see your weaknesses. It just makes you better."

Massive cartoon protest in Beirut

Still? Get over it!

About half a million Muslims turned a Beirut religious ceremony into a peaceful protest against cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, as Iran and Syria rejected U.S. accusations they were inciting anger over the caricatures.

Ah, a peaceful protest. Good for you.

"At your service, oh Mohammed, at your service, oh Prophet of God," the crowds chanted with fists raised. "Death to America, Death to Israel."

That don't sound peaceful.

Connemara Field Trip

Note: the black and whites are photographs of the displays at Connemara National Historic Site.

Am I the only one who forgets about great places nearby until we want to show house guests the area? I’ve had a little cabin fever this year with all the days when it’s just been too cold to get outside. When I saw that weekend temps would be 65, I declared it a field trip day and laid plans for an outing.  Not to Ireland, but to Flat Rock, North Carolina to visit Connemara. It’s a National Historic Site run by the Park Service: 245 acres of rolling hills, hiking trails, mountain views, champion goats and the Carl and Paula Sandburg home and farm.

I thought of Connemara and the Sandburgs because my Dad gave me a book to read — an 800 page biography by Penelope Niven, a friend of a friend of my parents. I thought  visiting the Sandburg home would be the perfect thing to do before diving into the tome.

Carl's office.

Carl’s office.

Books, Books, Books!

Books and music, music and books!

After a pleasant lunch nearby, we ditched the car in the parking lot and walked to the house and farm — in the sunshine — without coats. Hallelujah! Speaking of winter, the Sandburgs tired of Michigan winters and moved south to Flat Rock in 1945. That weather had been especially hard on Mrs. Sandburg, often out in the elements with her champion goats, so she took herself down to the southern appalachians and bought Conemara!  The really neat thing about the house is that it’s pretty much the way they left it after living there for 22 years. The volunteers and skeleton park staff do a great job of keeping it that way.

Favorite things: the 10,000 or so books that line the walls ; Mrs. Sandburg’s office full of goat-keeping records, trophies and ribbons; the farm and goats; the guitar, piano and loads of music books; the 1940s kitchen and the light in the milk processing shed to name a few…

We didn’t get to the 5 miles of hiking trails that day, but look forward to a return visit.  We took the long way home on winding back roads to feast on tender, slow-cooked pork shoulder (the crock pot had done its work while we played) and gingery apple slaw (I’ll post the recipe).  A lovely end to a lovely day.

Goodbye Girls…

Goldfinger (black with gold highlights) the rooster with his charges.

It was a cold day in December (in many ways) when my friends came to take the chickens away to their farm in the next county. They are good folks, so when I called them at Highgate Farms up in Marshall to ask if they could add my girls to their egg flock, they said yes right away. We all thought it would ease the transition if the hens arrived at their new home while the resident girls were asleep. So down the mountain just after dusk came Melissa and John in their beautiful old bio-diesel Mercedes.

I had already said my tearful goodbyes and tried to remain calm. I collected Mattie, Buffy, Flopsy and Mopsy one by one from the perch where they slept peacefully and deposited them into carrier boxes for the ride to their new home. Collecting Opal, the tree-sleeping Sumatra hen was another story, but with a little help from a ladder they were all in the trunk of the car and heading off into the night. I can’t say thanks to John and Melissa enough times for providing them with a good home. It makes me feel a tiny bit better; but just a tiny bit. IMG_2123

I’ll keep the why part of the story short since it’s all negative and we don’t want to dwell on it. Suffice it to say, we have a neighbor who is not neighborly, the kind you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. And that’s all you’ll hear about that.

Buffy checks out the harvest. She's not a fan of kale or cabbage but love tomatoes and cucumbers.

Buffy checks out the harvest. She’s not a fan of kale or cabbage but love tomatoes and cucumbers.

The sadness I feel has surprised me. Even after a month, I miss my girls and our rituals terribly. I still expect them to be clamoring for their afternoon treats when I open the door. As my sister said, I cried lots of big fat chicken tears! But don’t worry, I haven’t given up chickens for good. We still have the hen palace and all the gear that goes with it. One day we’ll move farther out into the country and have 10 acres or more; a place where people and chickens can have a little freedom!

That dream is down the road a ways, but I’ll keep you posted. It’s good to have something to look forward to while I’m driving to the winter tailgate market to BUY EGGS THAT COME FROM CHICKENS I’VE NEVER EVEN MET!

Thanks for listening to my sad story. I’ll be back soon with a recipe to cheer us all up. This picture should help too!

Pancakes with Cranberry Sauce

Yummy pancakes with cranberry topping.

Yummy pancakes with cranberry topping.

I woke up last Sunday feeling all breakfasty. I’m usually a tea and toast kind of girl (maybe a piece of bacon now and then) so this doesn’t happen often. Could it be the cold weather and the nine-foot Christmas tree twinkling away in the living room? My husband, on the other hand, loves a big breakfast; especially when someone makes it for him. He was thrilled to wake to pancakes and the smell of bacon frying!

I had some White Lily self-rising flour I needed to use so I pulled up a recipe from their website. Then inspiration struck. We had a bit of fabulous cranberry sauce left over from Thanksgiving. It’s a great recipe from Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock. Simple and quick to make, it has unexpected depth of flavor and looks beautiful on the table. It was a hit on turkey day, even with those loyal to the canned type!

I whipped up the pancakes and topped them with the cranberries. This plate of perfection caused me to flash back to the International House of Pancakes circa 1972 when the orange and blue A-frame restaurants were decorated with flags from around the world. I loved to go there with my friends (our parents still had drop off and pick up duty) and while the other girls ate whipped cream and outrageously colored syrups from sticky pourers on their pancakes, I savored every bite of my thin Swedish pancakes with lingonberry butter; no syrup. My mouth still waters when I think of it. The name has been shortened to IHOP now and the only remnant of the international flair is the Swedish pancakes with lingonberries. I eat there once or twice a year when I crave those very pancakes. And that’s what my buttery pancakes with cranberries reminded me of.

Enjoy these pancakes and consider the cranberry sauce for your Christmas table. It’s good with pancakes, poultry and pork!  Next time you see an IHOP sign, pull in and have the  Swedish pancakes for me. Thanks for the memories, IHOP.

Homemade Pancakes with Cranberry Sauce

Serves 2-3
Meal type Breakfast
Website White Lily Flour
This is an easy, basic pancake recipe I adapted from the White Lily Flour recipe. What makes it special is the cranberry sauce topping from a recipe by Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock in Food & Wine magazine.

  • 1 1/4 cup self-rising flour (White, whole-wheat pastry flour or a combination)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 cup port
  • 6 cups fresh cranberrries (1.5 lbs. washed and picked over)
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Makes about 4 1/2 cups.  MAKE AHEAD: The cooked cranberries can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days. The completed Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for one week. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Step 1
Combine flour and sugar in a medium bowl.
Step 2
Combine milk, egg and butter in a small bowl. Add all at once to flour mixture, stirring until just blended. Batter will be lumpy.
Step 3

Homemade Pumpkin Puree

Ceci the cat jumped up on her stool to check out the pumpkin action. I know that my grandmother is turning over in her grave because we let the cat sit on a stool and watch us cook. She (the cat) seems to enjoy it. Grandma would hate it!

Fall is in full swing here. The leaves are off the trees and we start most mornings with a fire.  Our spare fridge is full of enough local onions, garlic and potatoes to last until spring. The onion sets I planted to provide green onions through the winter are up and looking perky. Winter salad mix and arugula are flourishing under hoops covered with frost cloth. The kale is going to town on it’s own since freezing temps don’t bother it a bit. The produce shelves are filled with pumpkins, Brussels sprouts and winter squash. I love fall and the foods that it brings.

Salad mix is thriving under frost cloth. It's time to thin it!

One pound of onion sets cost $1 at the old hardware store in Marshall. Those green onions will be delicious all winter.

I didn’t grow pumpkins this year, but wanted to get a head start on Thanksgiving pie-making by preparing the puree now. I brought home a bunch of the Sugar Pie variety of pumpkins; perfect little pumpkins with great flavor for pies, cakes, breads or just eating roasted or pureed. They weigh 2-4 pounds, produce three to four cups of puree and are cute as a button. Of course you can get pumpkin puree in a can, but puree is an easy thing to make from scratch and is truly worth the small amount of effort required. You’ll want to eat the stuff with a spoon! I gave my husband a taste of the puree and he said it might need a little more sugar. It was so rich and flavorful that he thought I had already dolled it up for pie filling!

Roasted pumpkins ready to be scooped and pureed. You can see where I pricked with a fork to check for doneness.

In the food processor.

Roasted Pumpkin Puree:  Preheat oven to 400F. Rinse and dry the pumpkin. Beware: pumpkins are slippery devils when wet, so dry before you attack with a sharp object! Using a sturdy knife or cleaver, cut off the stem and cut the pumpkin in half vertically. Scoop out the seeds and fibers and feed to your chickens or toast the seeds for a tasty snack. Put a piece of parchment paper in a rimmed baking dish or cookie sheet and oil the parchment with olive or vegetable oil. Place the pumpkin halves, cut side down, on the parchment. Bake for 30 minutes and check for doneness. A fork will go right through the skin and pulp when they’re ready. I usually let then go a few more minutes so that the flavor concentrates and the flesh starts to pull away from the skin.

Remove from the oven and scoop out the pumpkin flesh. You can let the pumpkin cool first if you’d like. The cook gets to consume as many of the caramelized brown edges as she wants to! Puree the flesh in a food processor or run through a food mill until smooth. It’s now ready to serve as a side at dinner or to bake into all kind of goodies. The puree will keep for days in the fridge and freezes beautifully. I freeze it in jars, leaving an inch or two of airspace at the top for expansion. You can use your favorite freezer container or a resealable freezer bag. The bags can be frozen flat on a cookie sheet and then stacked for compact storage.

Now that wasn’t too hard, was it? You just won’t believe how good this stuff is!  Some of this batch of puree went into Martha Stewart’s Pumpkin Cake with Brown Butter Icing. I made it for my pumpkin-loving niece and it was a hit with the whole family at Sunday dinner. The last sliver tasted pretty good breakfast too.

Happy fall to you. Now run out and get yourself a pumpkin!

Falling feathers and Failing Hens

It’s been a eggy summer. Is eggy a word? Even if it’s not, I’m going to use it. It seems perfect for describing life with eight or nine hens who laid daily all summer.  Luckily we, and our friends and family, love free-range eggs. We’ve eaten popovers, deviled eggs, spoon bread, egg bread, egg salad, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, omelette suppers, eggs on tortillas, French vinaigrette with an egg yolk in it and just about any other eggy thing you can think of. Why, you might ask, do we need so many chickens when we don’t sell eggs?  There are several reasons: laying falls off in fall and winter, laying drops as hens age and, sadly, chickens don’t last forever.

Not so much in their first year, but in the fall of a hen’s second year, it molts. Feathers fall out like crazy and the hen will look absolutely pitiful. It’s easy to think you’ve got a sick chicken on your hands, but that’s not the case. They just don’t look good with big naked pink spots! Mattie is our oldest hen at 18 months. I hate to say anything negative about the sweet girl but she’s been looking rough. Bald patches on her underside and back, thinning tail feathers, etc. I even stole her from the perch one night and weighed her to make sure she was okay. This involves putting the sleeping chicken into a shopping bag with handles, hanging said bag from my husband’s portable fishing scale and returning the bird to the perch before it wakes up and freaks out. It’s even more amusing when you learn that I do this late at night in my pajamas, a sweatshirt, an LL Bean cap with headlights built into it and rubber gardening clogs. It’s not a glamorous life. Her weight was fine. She’d just lost so many feathers that she looked very small. Her laying has fallen from daily to five eggs a week since she’s using her protein sources to make feathers. We see the new pin feathers now so I’m reassured that she’ll return to her former gorgeousness soon.

Three of our other girls, all less than a year old so not molting very much, are still laying daily. As the days shorten, this will change. The amount of daylight directs how often hens lay. It’s been our experience that every other day in winter is the norm. You can put artificial lights in the coop to keep the eggs coming, but we like the natural method and think the girls deserve some time off in winter for good behavior. When the days lengthen in the spring, things will pick up again. In most cases, egg laying reduces each year after a hen’s first big molt, so Mattie might not be a 7-egg-a-week girl any more even in summer. I’ll have to report back on that. And then there’s Opal, our 1/2 Sumatra hen who lays her eggs in the woods where we can never find them. Her mom did the same thing.

I think I mentioned that chickens don’t last forever. Free-range birds love the lifestyle and lay eggs that are healthier for us, but they are exposed to danger every day. It’s sad but true and we’ve experienced lots of loss this summer. Ruby, one of our older girls, took to sleeping in a tree with our two Sumatra chickens. They’re the ones that don’t like to be cooped up. We tried every kind of bribe but couldn’t get her to bed down in the coop. The Sumatra’s are black and invisible at night but Ruby was gold with some white feathers so you could easily spot her on all but the darkest nights. Sure enough, she was plucked from a branch during the night never to be seen again. We suspect an owl carried her off since there was no sign of a struggle. We lost two hens to a dog. Two others died of natural causes and finally to end the sad part of this post, Goldfinger, our sexy rooster, had to go back to the farm where we bought him. He was an excellent rooster, but crowed often, all day long, at a high decibel level. The farm was glad to have him back since he was a pure-bred and good for breeding. We miss each of them and their sweet, quirky ways.

While we still had noisy Goldfinger (GF), he performed a most heroic deed. We were outside at dusk and GF started going nuts; squawking frantically and herding the hens to a safe corner of the back patio up against the house. He then ran into the edge of the woods shrieking and returned with the last hen, herding her rapidly to the others. Roosters are great protectors so we’d seen this behavior before when dogs entered the yard or hawks flew to0 low for comfort (chicken comfort), but this time we couldn’t see any kind of predator. GF continued to raise a ruckus and finally we strolled away. As we looked back, a big black bear ran out of the woods and crossed the yard to another patch of woods — right where the chickens would have been! Guess GF smelled that bear a mile away! We miss that rooster and will always remember how he saved our girls.

The current flock consists of Opal,  the 1/2 Sumatra who safely sleeps in a tree; molting Mattie, a black and white Barred Rock; Buffy the beautiful golden Buff Orpington and Flopsy and Beatrix who are Golden Comets. They are co-existing happily in the garden and wood edge enjoying all the wonderful seeds that fall brings. As a flock they lay three to four eggs a day and are darn proud of it! They each announce when they lay by chattering and cawing loudly as they exit the coop. Those sounds are music to my ears!IMG_3475

Peach Crisp and Signs of Fall

The sunflower heads were so heavy with seed this summer they couldn't stay upright. Now they're dried out and ready to become chicken treats!

The sunflower heads were so heavy with seed this summer they couldn’t stay upright. Now they’re dried out and ready to become chicken treats!

We had a wet summer this year with much less sun than usual. The 60 inches of rain that had fallen by the end of August was too much for some of our flowers and vegetables. Others flourished in the cool moist air. We had a bumper crop of rabbits and wild turkeys and the bears who wandered through our yard looked awfully fat and happy.

All PostsIMG_2978Some folks complained about the lack of heat, but I didn’t miss it. The last three summers were unusually hot and dry so so a gentler summer was overdue. It’s reminded me of childhood visits to the mountains. We’d drive up from Raleigh in the un-air-conditioned heat of summer, the kind of heat that shimmered on the streets and sidewalks and made your legs stick to the car seat, into the cool highland air. Wearing sweaters and sweatshirts was a treat. It was magical visiting Mount Mitchell back in the 60s when there was snow on the ground in July and we shivered in our shorts and sweatshirts! I’m happy to have weather that takes me back to those days.

Fall sedum and asters.

Fall started sneaking in at the end of August. September has brought lovely sleeping weather with most nights in the 50s. Our family gathered around a bonfire Saturday night under a clear starry sky and sweaters and even a down throw made their way to the circle. Sedum and asters are in full bloom and the hens are joyfully feasting on dried sunflower heads. Turn up your volume for the full effect of the hen video. There’s a bumper crop  of local apples and we’re still getting peaches from South Carolina.What an excellent overlap!  I’m thinking about another batch of peach preserves since the peaches aren’t long for this world. My sister and I had a great time making our first batch ever  earlier this summer.

Peaches and apples are both ripe right now!

Peaches and apples are both ripe right now!

But in the short-term, there are six large, ripe peaches lined up on the screened porch railing so a crisp is in order. I’ve worked at a friends bakery for the last month to learn more about baking, especially yeast breads. In addition to batards, boules and focaccia, we made pies and granola. The granola makes a perfect topping for fruit crisp. I don’t use a strict recipe, just peel and slice the peaches, toss them with cinnamon, nutmeg, almond extract (optional but really good),  a bit of lemon zest and juice, a pinch of salt and a scant handful of flour to help it all thicken. Toss to evenly coat the peaches. I use my hands, but a spoon works too. Taste to see whether you need to add salt or sugar and let it sit for half an hour or so to develop the juices. While that’s going on, make the crisp topping. Combine a few handfuls of granola or oats with a couple of tablespoons of softened butter, a few tablespoons of brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a fork and taste. If it’s really dry, add a tablespoon of butter or a splash of olive oil and mix again. It should taste good!

Pour the juicy peach mixture into a Pyrex rectangular or square baker or a pie pan (or two if you have lots of peaches). Crumble the topping over the peaches and bake at 375 for about forty-five minutes. Make sure it’s good and bubbly when you pull it from the oven. Serve within an hour or two if you like it crispy. It’s good plain or with a dollop of yogurt, whipped cream or ice cream. The neat thing about a crisp is that it’s hard to mess up. You can make a thick layer of fruit and a thin layer of topping or vice versa. You can make it really sweet or not too. Just don’t forget the pinches of salt.  They really liven things up. You can substitute berries or apples for the peaches if that’s what you have. I make crisps with lots oats/granola because I can’t get enough of that crispy topping. It won’t be crispy the next day unless you re-crisp it in a low oven, but it’s a great breakfast anyway!

Update from the hen-house: I know you’re dying to make a peach crisp this very minute, s0 I’ll make it quick! Paul installed a solar-powered, Pullet-shut Automatic Chicken Door on the coop that will open at dawn and close after dark when the girls have put themselves to bed. It even gives a second chance to any stragglers by reopening for a minute. I know it’s slothful, but not heading out to the coop at 7 a.m. on a 15-degree morning sounds pretty good. Mostly it makes things a lot easier when we travel and have chicken sitters. Although the hens were a little agitated during the construction, they calmed down once their house was back in order. I don’t think they’ll even notice the special door, but the humans love it!

I’ll still go out to say goodnight to them. I like to think they’d miss me if I didn’t.

The Obama Administration's semantic pivot from tax-cutting to progressivity

I've been too busy over the last couple of days to take a close look yet at the Obama Administration's budget proposals (though I hope to address this oversight shortly), but I gather that, in at least one key respect, they are using a budgetary baseline of current policy, rather than current law.

This baseline choice pertains to what people still commonly call the "Bush tax cuts" - rate cuts for individuals that were adopted in 2001 but officially scheduled to expire after 2010, and that more recently were extended two years so that they would expire after 2012. As the Administration's Budget says at page 201, their "adjusted baseline assumes that these tax rate changes are made permanent." The Congressional Budget Office, by contrast, assumes in its budgetary baseline that current law remains in force, meaning that all of the tax cuts are assumed to expire, and budgetary "changes" are measured relative to that.

One semantic consequence of the current policy baseline choice is that the Obama Administration cannot credit itself with "tax cuts" by reason of its support for extending the expiring lower tax rates for people who earn less than $250,000. A second is that the Administration is avowedly seeking to "raise taxes" on people earning more than $250,000, for whom the 36% and 39.6% rates that were ostensibly eliminated in 2001 would reemerge in 2013, rather than keeping those taxes the same (as would follow if one used a current law baseline). And a third is that the Administration can credit itself with deficit reduction by reason of permitting the high-end brackets to increase, rather than facing the question of how it proposes to pay for extending the lower-tier tax cuts.

The politics behind the semantics are clear enough, and to me not wholly unwelcome. The Administration is evidently less afraid than it used to be of Republican attacks based on the usual rhetoric about "job creators" and the supposedly endless need for enacting new tax cuts whether affordable or not. In a post-Occupy Wall Street political environment, it apparently does not entirely mind being charged with plotting a huge tax increase for the top 1 percent.

In addition, the Administration is trying to cut itself some budgetary slack so that it cannot be attacked as harshly on this front. Even this I quasi-welcome, because I believe that short-term budget policy ought to respond to our horrendous (even if very modestly improving) unemployment situation - though I remain very highly concerned about the long run picture (which the Administration when its performance is being evaluated, like the Republicans when they are discussing tax revenues, has a political incentive to sweep under the rug).

But it is not an enormously healthy thing when baseline choices have such a large effect on how fixed sets of policy options are described and (presumably) perceived.

Mortgage Closing Costs

Now that you know what you can afford, the next step is to determine the additional costs of the home-buying process. According to CMHC and GE Capital, one should have, in addition to the down payment, at least 1.5% of the purchase price for closing costs (we say 2-2.5%, just to be on the safe side). The costs vary across provinces, and for that matter, cities.

Below you will find a brief explanation of these costs, yet it may not include all items required specific to your property, or the area in which you have purchased. This is a guideline, but your lawyer can provide a fairly close estimate, and is the best resource.

Appraisal Fee:

The appraisal provides the lenders with a professional opinion of the market value of the property. This cost is normally the borrower's responsibility and it ranges as low as $100 for a drive-by appraisal to as much as $200 for a full appraisal, and the average being $175, plus H.S.T./G.S.T. Occasionally, the costs could be slightly higher for larger, custom-built homes, or homes in remote parts.

Home Inspection Fee:

A professional inspection of the home, top to bottom, is for the benefit of the buyer, therefore, that's who absorbs the cost. A typical home inspection can cost anywhere from $250-$350, but our opinion is that they are well worth the investment. New home buyers may not worry about it, but a definite must for buyers purchasing properties older than 5 years. When hiring a home inspector, make sure the inspector has liability insurance, just in case a mistake is made.

Fire Insurance:

All mortgage lenders will require a certificate of fire insurance to be in place from the time you take possession of the home. The amount required is generally at least the amount of the mortgage or the replacement cost of the home. This cost can vary on the property size and extras being insured, as well as the insurance company and the municipality. The cost can vary anywhere from $250-$600 for most properties.

Land Survey Fee Or Title Insurance Fee:

A recent Survey of the property is usually required by the lender, and if one is not available, it normally costs anywhere from $600-$900 for a new survey. In lieu of the Survey, most lenders today will accept Title Insurance, at a much lower price of approximately $225.

Legal Costs and Disbursements:

A lawyer or notary will charge a fee for their professional services involved in drafting the title deed, preparing the mortgage, and conducting the various searches. The disbursements, on the other hand, are out-of-pocket expenses incurred, such as registrations, searches, supplies, etc., plus G.S.T/H.S.T.

Land Transfer Tax:

Most provinces charge a land transfer tax, payable by the purchaser, and the amount varies from province to province. This tax is based on the purchase price (refer to mortgage ABC's for exact calculation).

New Home Warranty:

In many provinces, new homes are covered by a new home warranty program. The cost to the purchaser for this warranty is approximately $600 and should the builder default or fail to build to an agreed-upon standard, the fund will finish or repair the deficiencies.

Mortgage Application and Processing Fee:

On a high-ratio insured mortgage (mortgages above 75% of the purchase price), the mortgage insurer (CMHC or GE Capital) charges a fee of $165-$185 for applying and processing the file, as well as appraising the property. On new homes, this fee drops to $75.

Closing Adjustments:

An estimate should be made for closing adjustments for bills that the seller has prepaid such as property taxes, utility bills, and other charges. Any bills after the closing date are the purchaser's responsibility. Your lawyer/notary will let you know what they are exactly once the various searches have been completed.

On the purchase of a newly constructed home, G.S.T/H.S.T. is payable, but make sure you know who pays this, you or the builder. Therefore, on the offer, the purchase price will say "Plus G.S.T/H.S.T." or "G.S.T/H.S.T. Included", and who gets the G.S.T/H.S.T. new home rebate. A lot of builders have included this cost into the purchase price so that the buyer does not have to come up with that at closing. (As well, this tax is also charged on all professional fees).

Fall family fun

For a portrait photographer, October is one of the busiest times of the year.  The cooler weather, gorgeous trees and the upcoming holidays all make it an ideal time for family portraits.  I have had such a great time with such a variety of clients this year, which reminds me....  I need to start thinking about my own family portraits now.

Web Marketing Strategies: Have Multiple Benefits To Your Company

0 votes

The secrets of becoming successful in your multi-level marketing career are focused on selling Frank Schwarz, but not selling an item, selling yourself. There are numerous strategies regarding how to sell yourself instead of this product. The product comes later. These tips will teach you various ways to pay attention to yourself and not the merchandise.

Making customer participation voluntary is definitely an Website marketing plan that can keep visitors happy and increase their opinions of any website. Most web surfers are fiercely protective of their private data - as they should be - and a website that respects their privacy stands out as one that cares about the subject.

To learn which techniques work well, use a tracking tool to see which of your blog articles generate the most traffic. Rewrite these posts using the same keywords and phrases and mention these products you will be selling. This should allow you to reach out to a greater audience.

As part of your online marketing strategy, offer occasional online promotions to your customers. A particular discount code to get a discount or free offer with purchase can attract customers to click using your website. Frequently, customers buy more while they peruse your site, because they wish to take advantage of the discount even though it is still valid.

Concentrate your time and effort on the pages that really matter. Every website includes a few pages focused on disclaimers, policies or even a contact form. If people need to see these pages, they are going to try to find them. Create links towards the pages that you might want individuals to see: your own home page or perhaps a page that presents your product or service.

While confronting real-estate internet promotion, your website needs both traffic as well as a lead generation system. A busy website with no path for lead generation will never increase your business. Visitors will travel in and out, and often will never leave much behind that is of real value for your needs.

Take advantage of social network sites to boost your web marketing success. Ensure your company carries a presence on every one of the popular sites, like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. It has long been important in business to visit where your potential customers are and they days, they can be chilling out on all the social networking sites.

To build your online marketing empire, do a small amount of work regularly. Set a schedule and adhere to it. Don't think that one could create a single product, or do one big session of marketing, and be successful throughout the month or year. While it's certainly easy to have that happen, it's a great idea when you're still learning (and also when you're more knowledgeable) to decide on working on your marketing frequently. It is going to boost your visibility should you stay active regularly rather than doing your marketing in large, infrequent chunks.

Wherever a webmaster solicits comments from their visitors - on blogs, in forums, through product critiques - replying to those comments can greatly increase visitor interest. Visitors who receive attention are more likely to trust the webmaster. From an online promotion viewpoint, visitors who trust, are more inclined to become customers who buy.

Offer deep discounts to users which make large purchases or purchase multiple items. If users know that they could purchase one item for $5 after spending money on three with the regular price they may actually wind up spending a bit more money on your web site compared to they originally planned to.

There are numerous search engines like yahoo to select from, and good results are the primary goal. But you may be able to accomplish something not only a list of "hits." Some search engines like yahoo provide you with a way to benefit your favorite charity: any time you utilize them, they donate a small amount to it.

Just because your enterprise is a local, physical business, doesn't mean you don't need to have a web presence. Ensure that you make a basic web site with plenty of information regarding your company and market that to local clientele. Even during local economies, a lot of people turn to the net for info on what to do and who to acquire from. They can't come to you in the event you aren't there.

Seeing that services like search engines like yahoo and social network sites are incredibly incredibly huge, they can be of great use to the internet market efforts along with your overall business expansion. Take your time to create business pages with search engines. Not only are they free, but Google will guarantee your business is seen by people. You won't have to perform any Search Engine Optimization.

As said before, internet marketing provides extensive potential. Your marketing plan could achieve the eyes of lots of people, but only in case the marketing is carried out right! Don't waste your time guessing how and where to promote. The ideas out of this article may help you best utilize internet promotion and reach your target consumers.

I am also commenting to let you know of the awesome encounter my cousin's princess enjoyed viewing the blog. She figured out a good number of issues, most notably how it is like to have an amazing helping mindset to get folks completely completely grasp a variety of complicated subject matter.

Throughout this awesome pattern of things you actually get  a B- just for effort. Where you actually confused us was in all the specifics. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more correct at this point. Having said that, permit me tell you what did deliver the results. The writing is actually incredibly convincing and this is possibly why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, even though I can certainly see a jumps in reason you come up with, I am not necessarily sure of just how you seem to connect your points which in turn help to make the final result. For now I shall yield to your point however hope in the foreseeable future you connect your dots much better.

Bombus: The Poet And The Parrot – new album

In 2008 in Gothenburg, Sweden, a bunch of friends who happen to be called Matte, Feffe, Jonas and Peter, reportedly got together “with a rough idea”. And as it often happens, especially in Sweden, their idea evolved into playing their own, unique kind of “no bullshit metal and hard rock served with a slice of punkrock energy”. Inspired by the record collections of each band member - which we are safe to assume include some MELVINS' stuff, MOTÖRHEAD, METALLICA and, we are told, POISON IDEA, and, after “six to eight beers and the stereo maxed out”, that of WASP and MASTODON - BOMBUS was born. In Gothenburg underground, they have quickly built themselves a solid fan base as well as reputation of “all killer, no filler” live act. Two years later, in 2010, they released three 7” singles and a full-length which they issued through their own label, Mourningwood Records. And, after extended touring across Europe in support of their self-titled debut and when the band started to record new material in early 2012, Century Media Records became aware of BOMBUS. BOMBUS' debut on Century Media is called, poetically, ‘The Poet And The Parrot’; it is out now in Europe, August 26th, 2013, and is due in North America come September 17th, 2013. ‘The Poet And The Parrot’ was recorded, mixed and mastered at Welfare Sounds Studio in Gothenburg, Sweden with the goal:

“to create a timeless sound and feeling that leaves the listener with the best of both worlds: an album that is contemporary and fresh while at the same time got that distinctive touch of yesterday's heroes! Considering the above it’s obvious that BOMBUS isn’t about re-inventing something that already works, it’s about finding their own sound out of what they love and treasure in each member's record collection. The band is extremely happy with the way the album finally turned out and this definitely marks the next big landmark on BOMBUS way into the hearts of all hard music fans! BOMBUS Dominates!”

‘The Poet And The Parrot’ can be found here (CM Distro Europe), here (CM Distro North America), on iTunes, on Spotify and at EMP's and Amazon's.

BOMBUS features: Matte – guitar and vocals, Feffe – guitar and vocals, Jonas - bass and Peter – drums

Lincoln's Birthday Play Date

Lincoln is turning 2!

We decided to have our regular play date and celebrate Lincoln's big day at the same time.

Lincoln LOVES anything Cars, so that was the theme we went with.

We didn't plan any games or special activities because let's face it their little attention spans just don't last that long.  Mostly they just played but I think they all had a fun time.

I am so glad that my sister has always been willing to supply us with birthday cakes.  She always does such a great job and they look and taste awesome!  This time was no different.  We even had a cupcake bandit.  LOL

Lincoln LOVED his cupcake.  Ha!  Ha!
