![]() Just riding it to work made my days better riding it from work to lunch puts you in a good mood when you get back, and unexplainably it makes you feel closer to your friends. I think people who don’t own bikes of their own can’t really understand how many things owning a motorcycle unlocks for you. This bike has led me to so many good times. There is a twisty 30-mile mountain loop near our office that goes from where I live in to Temecula where I work, so I would take that to and from work every day and that was really my only “training” before the El Diablo Run. I had very little experience on the street so it was kind of weird at first. We finished the bike about ten days before EDR and I started riding it to get used to the hardtail. I like high pipes, I like black paint, and I like Tokico brakes. I didn’t know much about bikes, but I had spent hours looking through photos and studying bikes at events, and I knew what I liked. My vision for this bike was a “performance chopper ” I wanted to be able to go fast, stop fast, and look cool while doing it. I did all the shitty work like cleaning bolts, sanding parts, prepping pieces for welding, and brush painting the motor. Every time he was in the shop I was in the shop. I have almost zero fabrication skills, but pops is a great welder and has enough of the bulldog-never-give-up attitude to get anything done. Pops and I spent almost every day after work in the shop trying to get this bike ready for EDR. It took us two weeks to turn our stock 883 Sportster into a 1250 in a rigid frame. We had our buddies at Haifley Brothers ship us their bolt-on hardtail kit, while we tore the donor bike down. We got an S&S 1250 kit and found a fork off a crashed Sportster S, and that made my 883 XL an even better version of the XL1200S we were originally looking for. With less than four months till EDR we started furiously looking for parts. My goal was to build a bike I could ride on the El Diablo Run so I wouldn’t have to drive down to San Felipe in a chase van. We turned down every bike we saw, but eventually came across a super clean 883 right down the street from us, so we scooped it up.Īfter we had the Sportster in our shop the race was on. You get a bike that was probably owned by someone trying to go fast on a budget, so their speed machine was held together with safety wire and zip ties. Buying a used 1990’s Sportster is kind of like buying a used 1990’s 3 series BMW. ![]() We found a handful of 1200 Sportsters around us and checked them out. Dad and I agreed that a Buell might be a little quicker than I really needed in a first bike, so we started the hunt for a 1200XL. After riding it I was blown away by how fun it was. He built a rigid chopper with a Paughco frame and a Buell motor and the second I sat on it I knew it was the bike for me. I really didn’t know what I wanted until my dad Bill Bryant finished a build for our buddy Dutch Rob. ![]() I love the look of long jockey shift panheads and big touring FXRs, but I couldn’t really see myself riding either of them. The main thing that made me want to ride was how fun all the trips looked you get all your gear together the night before and strap it to your bike, then you wake up early in the morning and meet up with your friends and ride to an epic place to camp and hang out-what’s not to love? After realizing I wanted a bike I did my research at events by picturing myself riding different bikes I saw. ![]() After about six months of working at Biltwell and going to events I eventually caught the bug. ![]() I’ve ridden dirt bikes since I was a kid, but the desire to ride on the street was just never there. I have never had much interest in Harleys. ![]()

![]() ![]() They might bop along to their favourite song and clap their hands together. Often one of the first ways kids learn counting is through rhythm. You might have seen children musically engaging with mathematics without even realizing it. Using Music to Build Mathematical Skills in Early Learners Mathematics is quite literally the study of the relationships between numbers, and basically, if you replace those numbers with notes, rhythm and timing, you have music. Most of us can remember elementary school music lessons where we learned that a waltz is normally in ‘¾’ timing. There’s also rhythms and tempos involved. There are whole notes, half notes and quarter notes, all of which follow the same rules that they would in a math equation. In a lot of ways, this practice is a bit similar to the principles of algebra. You need to understand that a certain piece of musical language translates or a particular movement, and when things change, you need to learn how to compensate for it. You’re doing all of this to express yourself artistically, but the process of turning that music on paper into a physical action is actually a bit of a mathematical equation in itself. You need to read music and translate that into a physical action with your hands, fingers, mouth, tongue, lungs, and even feet (if you’re lucky enough to be a drummer). You also often need to do several things at once. To effectively play music, you need to develop your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. ![]() For a start, music is actually a lot more analytical and mathematical than you might think. Music can definitely be used to help improve the mathematics skills of any studen t. How Music Can Help Improve Learning Mathematics So how exactly can music help improve the mathematical abilities of children? Does it help early learners? How can you integrate music into a math lesson? Read on to find out all this and more. Music and math actually have a lot more in common than you might think, and you can actually use music to help children learn mathematics. Well, they are different disciplines, but they’re also incredibly similar too. Music and mathematics couldn’t be any more different. Music is art, it’s creative, it’s artistic and incredibly different to math, right? Math is analytical, scientific and logical. ![]() It’s no surprise then that people tend to view music and mathematics in much the same way. We even associate them with different sides of the brain and give them different weights depending on the conversations we are having. For most of us, we tend to see them as completely different things. The science and research backs it up.For almost as long as they have existed, arts and sciences have long stayed on separate sides of a fence. Through these activities, children gain valuable early exposure to basic math skills like counting, sequencing, and one-to-one correspondence. Getting “two instruments” from the instrument basket or counting steps in a circle dance combine music and early math concepts. ![]() Many early rhymes, songs, fingerplays, dances, and activities that are a part of an early childhood music curricula like Kindermusik include numbers. Listening for and responding to short patterns in music also expands a child’s understanding of the patterns in math. Moving in a different way for each section of music helps children begin to identify through movement the parts (or patterns) that make up the whole. In fact, all brains-including newborn brains- constantly look for them! Out of simple rhymes, chants, and games of pat-a-cake grows an ability to understand and manipulate patterns of big and small blocks. Music and math are both full of patterns. Movement combined with words and labels like “in and out,” “up and down,” or “around and through” are helping build the spatial awareness and spatial-temporal reasoning skills that are fundamental to geometry, as well as a child’s future potential career as an engineer, a scientist, a math teacher, or even an athlete. 3 Early Math Skills Boosted by Musical PlayĬhildren develop important foundations in geometry through circle dances, playing instruments, and moving their bodies in different ways. The exciting reality is that even very young children (from newborns to older toddlers) are unknowingly learning math as they participate in early childhood music and movement classes. Researchers, scientists, and teachers have long recognized the link between music and math, but did you know the benefits are longterm, and extend to heightened performance on standardized tests and problem-solving abilities later in school? ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() What We Love: Longer pours, has both medium and dark roasts, affordable way to try different blends Series: Original | Intensity: 6 | Serving Size: 3.7 ounces | Number of Pods: 50 | Roast: Mild This may not be the best choice when making an espresso drink since it is somewhat mild. Also, a brewed cup of Linizio Lungo espresso comes topped with a medium amount of light-brown crema and produces a larger pour. Flavor notes include caramel, malt, and black cherry, and this espresso includes relatively low acidity. Our tester found the medium roast makes for a smooth espresso without much residual bitterness or a lengthy finish. This Nespresso variety is easy to drink and easy to enjoy, but it still delivers enough complexity to be a fully engaging style of java. ![]() When designing this blend, Nespresso took inspiration from the bakeries and pastry shops of Vienna, and it specifically calibrated Linizio Lungo as an ideal drink pairing for sweet treats, like almond crescent cookies. Nespresso ranks it as a 6 on the intensity scale, and our tester wholeheartedly agreed after their taste test. For those drinkers, the Nespresso Linizio Lungo represents a dream realized. Some coffee aficionados prefer a gentler flavor and a less-potent drinking experience, but they don’t want to compromise on quality. What We Don't Love: Less suited to espresso drinks than more intense varieties What We Love: Easy-drinking and palatable, pairs well with desserts, produces a larger “lungo” pour Series: Original | Intensity: 10 | Serving Size: 1.4 ounces | Number of Pods: 50 | Roast: Dark All in all, Nespresso Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano, which is a blend of South American and East African Arabica beans, is an ideal espresso for drinkers who value boldness and intensity-but may not be for everyone. The light-to-medium layer of crema that floats on top of the brewed espresso has a rich caramel color and provides a pleasant textural contrast. Our tester found the flavor notes included dark berries and dark chocolate, punctuated by a zippy acidity that balances and highlights the other flavors. The dark roast imparts a warm and toasty taste to the finished brew. Our tester agreed with the 10 of 10 rating on Nespresso's Intensity scale for this pod. It’s part of the Original Line and consistently receives some of Nespresso’s highest customer ratings, thanks to its nuanced and multilayered flavor profile and ability to shine both on its own or in the context of a latte or a cappuccino. Strong, bold, and full of intense coffee flavor, Nespresso Ristretto Italiano serves as the gold standard for Nespresso espresso. What We Don't Love: Bitter and sour notes may not be to everyone’s taste What We Love: Intense espresso flavor, can be enjoyed alone or with milk, a blend of South American and East African Arabica beans View On Amazon View On Bloomingdales View On We also noted the espresso's final crema-the beautiful caramel-colored froth that forms on the top-and any flavors that came through in the taste tests. Then we brewed up the pods in our Nespresso machines, slurped and sloshed the espresso like it's a fancy wine, and rated them on the classic coffee elements (bitterness, acidity, saltiness, and sweetness). We did the research and taste-tested a few picks. Nespresso offers a wide array of capsule types to use with its machines. This potent style of coffee, a long-beloved tradition in France and Italy, can now be found just about everywhere in America, thanks to local artisanal shops and ubiquitous chains like Starbucks.īut because espresso beverages can be pricey, true devotees seek out ways to get their fix at home, and the Nespresso machine (which uses pre-loaded capsules of espresso to create coffee drinks) makes that process extremely easy and user-friendly. There’s no denying the remarkable popularity of espresso in the United States. ![]() ![]() ![]() Learn about the benefits of serving your country, paying for school, military career paths, and more: sign up now and hear from a recruiter near you.

At the town's autumn "Harfest" ( Halloween) festival, she witnesses a teenager being kidnapped by a mysterious figure, whom Mae believes is a ghost her friends are skeptical. Mae spends several days exploring Possum Springs and hanging out with her friends, but she also begins to have strange and vivid dreams. ![]() Mae also learns that another one of her old friends, Casey Hartley, has mysteriously disappeared. She meets up with her old friends, including gloomy but intelligent Beatrice "Bea" Santello, hyperactive delinquent Greggory "Gregg" Lee, and his quiet modest boyfriend Angus Delaney. Margaret "Mae" Borowski is a 20-year-old college dropout, who relocates back to her Rust Belt-inspired hometown of Possum Springs, where the closure of local coal mines has led to visible economic stagnation. That person might not know you as well by the end of the game, but this person you hung out with, you're going to get to see their storyline." Plot Players make decisions that affect the course of the story, though Benson said, "it's more like 'do you hang out with this person?' Okay, cool. Scott Benson described the key actions for the player as "explore, converse, see and touch", while Alec Holowka described their approach as "narrative-focused" rather than " gameplay-first". Paste magazine describes the themes covered as "mental illness, depression, the stagnancy of the middle and lower classes, and the slow death of small town America." Mae's friends also include Bea, a cigarette-smoking crocodile and Mae's childhood friend Gregg, a hyperactive fox and his boyfriend, a bear named Angus. She is forced to confront a horrible secret the town has hidden for decades involving not only the town's mine, but also the recent disappearance of her longtime friend Casey. Now living in her parents' attic, she discovers how much times have changed since the closing of the town's coal mines. Mae has returned home to Possum Springs, a town populated by zoomorphic humans. Night in the Woods received notable critical praise, mostly for its soundtrack, story, dialogue and characters. A version for iOS was released later on September 9, 2021. It features new content not seen in the first release, as well as the supplemental games. An extended version of the game, titled the Weird Autumn edition, was released for PC, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on December 13, 2017, and also for Nintendo Switch on February 1, 2018. The Xbox One version was released on December 13, 2017. The game was released on February 21, 2017, for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, and PlayStation 4, after a pushed-back original release date of January 10. ![]() In December 2014, a second supplemental game was released, titled Lost Constellation. Prior to the release of Night in the Woods, a companion game titled Longest Night was released in December 2013 by Holowka and Benson, along with co- writer Bethany Hockenberry. It is a story-focused exploration game in which the player follows a young woman named Mae Borowski, who recently dropped out of college and has returned to her hometown to find unexpected changes. The game was funded via Kickstarter, where it earned over 400% of its initial US$50,000 funding goal. Night in the Woods is a 2017 single-player adventure video game developed by Infinite Fall and published by Finji. ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: When you embed the widget in your site, it will match your site's styles (CSS).
