How Café Dantorels Became the Go-To Spot for Curtis Park Coffee Lovers

Curtis Park doesn’t do rush hour. Not like downtown. Not like midtown. It’s a slower hum. A softer rhythm. People walk dogs before the world wakes. Neighbors greet with nods instead of noise. In the middle of that easy flow lives something warm, familiar, and irreplaceable—Café Dantorels. It’s not just where you get a cup of coffee. It’s where Sacramento coffee lovers find a moment. A seat. A story. Over time, one quiet sip at a time, this little Café became the unofficial caffeine headquarters of Curtis Park.

It didn’t start loud. It started real. A couple, not restaurateurs, built something they wanted to see. A place with purpose. A place where the beans were bold and the people were gentle. Where the espresso shot didn't rush you out the door but invited you to stay a while. From that first brew, locals began to show up. One by one. Day by day. Until the morning line started forming before the first egg even cracked.

Here’s the truth—it’s not just the coffee. It’s how the coffee feels. Mugs arrive with steam not stickers. Foam settles like clouds not chaos. And when it lands on your table, it waits for you—not the other way around. That’s part of what makes this spot a legend among neighborhood sippers.

Pair it with the Best Breakfast in the area and you’re golden. Whether you’re the eggs-and-toast type or the person who needs three sides and a scramble, this menu delivers without extra noise. Organic eggs cooked right. Toast with that buttery crisp edge. Potatoes that make your fork pause just long enough to notice. You eat slowly because it tastes better that way.

You want a view with your brew? Head outside. Outdoor Dining here means more than a chair on cement. It’s morning breeze woven through your hair. It’s trees whispering while you stir in the cream. Curtis Park holds its own kind of quiet—and our patio brings it straight to your table. You’re not next to the street. You’re under sunlight. You’re beside moments that matter.

Midday rolls in, the vibe shifts. The line changes but never disappears. Now it’s laptop open, iced coffee on the side, Best Lunch coming in hot. Wraps you can hold in one hand. Sandwiches with crunch. Greens that taste alive. You don’t need to schedule it. Just slide in when your hunger hits and let the staff take it from there.

Of course, for those who lean into something heavier, the Best Burger holds court. Simple. Stacked. Not drowned in toppings. Just enough char. Just enough bite. Fries crisped like they respect their place on the plate. Nobody talks much when the burger hits. That’s how you know it’s good.

But it always comes back to the coffee. Maybe it’s the espresso. Maybe it’s the way staff say your name without asking for your order. Maybe it’s that feeling of being known, even before you speak. Curtis Park picked Café Dantorels not just for what they brew but for what they build—a rhythm, a refuge, a reason to stay five minutes longer.

Conlang Tips & Info

@typotripprr asked about this, but it would be way too long to comment (lol).

Some Basic Notes

I think the first thing you should ask yourself is this : will it be for a fictional world or for the modern day?

This is important because if it's used for a nation/group in a fictional setting, you need to think about what sounds speakers can make (pitch for rodent-inspired characters, clicks for aliens, etc.). And if you are solely using this language for specific scenes, then you really only need to create words for those moments. You’d need words specific for that world, probably without a direct translation for extra realism.

If you're using this for the modern world and everyday use, then you'll need to add words we use day-to-day in the present (car, computer, soda, etc.). However, you can make combo words to make something new or the same words with multiple meanings.

You can also take inspiration from a lot of languages, but don't clutter them. My first conlang, Sukoig Nohaas (lit. Star Sound/Language) has been described as sounding like Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Polish, and quite a few others, but I actually didn't take inspiration from any of them. But it is a language that can be used IRL.

The Letters & Sounds

This is something you should start with, as it's the foundation of your words.

You can start with these kinds of charts :

But personally, they're too complex and complicated for me, so I stick with basic, "a = ah, e = eh, i = ee, etc." which works fine.

Think about the sounds letters make. In English, "c" can be "k" or "s", but in Indonesian, "c" is "ch", and in Chinese, "c" is a mix of "s" and "z" (but that depends on dialect). You can choose to have certain letters with the same sound, but how the word is spelt changes which one is used. Or you can remove one entirely. In Gaelic, there is no "k", and they always use "c" for that sound.

If you can't decide what letters you want, you can do a couple things. If you have Scrabble, grab a random bunch of pieces and use those letters or find random letter generators/assign numbers to letters and use a random number generator. You can also choose words/names and take those letters. My second conlang, Kikke Molmi (lit. Name Language), only uses the letters in my full name : a, e, i, o, u, j, k, l, m, r, s.

Also, we have letters that make different sounds when put together. In Gaelic, "bh" makes a "v" sound. In Sukoig Nohaas, "sg" makes "sh", "vg" makes "th", and "gh" makes "ch".

But if you're making your own alphabet or using a non-Latin real script, you can have separate letters for the sounds. In Japanese, "し" is "shi" and "ち" is "chi".

While it doesn’t have special letters, this is Kikke Molmi’s script (based on things I like) :

Letter Order

This can be important or it can’t matter at all. Having a specific formula for letter order helps the language stay congruent, but your language doesn't need to be.

For making new words with a specific order, there is a website called Awkwords that a lot of people use. Using Kikke Molmi as an example, it looks like this :

(Note : V = Vowel, C = Consonant, N = Nasal, but you can add/remove.)

And by doing this, you can choose words in that order or random.

Some people just make up random orders. Using Sukoig Nohaas as an example :

Stet angha nen biirn'mius nen. Gholu stet haram sgapa ferharma nen yaun opur sgri (lyrics from a cover I made of a song called Still (Piano Ver.) by Rua feat. K. It's 1:15-1:25).

Grammar, Pt. 1

Okay, this part's a bit tricky.

You'll see examples using "S", "O", and "V", which means "Subject", "Object", "Verb". They'll be in the form of SVO, SOV, OVS, etc.

Examples :

English, SVO : The woman plays the piano.

Japanese, SOV : 私は猫が好きです。(lit. I cat like. Means, "I like cats".)

Ancient Middle Egyptian, VSO (some are supposed to stack) :  𓇋𓅱𓅠𓅓𓈖𓀀𓋴𓏭𓏞𓀀 (lit. Found the scribe her. Means, "The scribe found her".)

Sukoig Nohaas uses OVS and Kikke Molmi uses VOS.

Additionally, if you're using a new alphabet, which way do you write it? Latin sentences are left-to-right, up-to-down, but Chinese sentences are (traditionally) up-to-down, right-to-left. Sukoig Nohaas is written in Latin order, but Kikke Molmi is written left-to-right, down, right-to-left, down, and so on. This was inspired by Atlantean from Atlantis: The Lost Empire (my favorite Disney movie).

(This is the sentence shown in Grammar Pt. 2.)

Grammar, Pt. 2

Next, you need to think about when things like time/tense, adjectives, prepositions, and amounts. Using Kikke Molmi as an example, the full order is :

Time - Location - Verb - Amount (+1, +2)  - Adjective - Object - Amount - Adjective - Subject.

So a full sentence would be :

Liklu osura rasja orki aska askok ku (lit. Lunchtime eat dead dog happy cat. Means, “During lunchtime, the happy cat eats the dead dog”).

But are you going to form these things? Maybe you don't need adjectives or tenses or pronouns. Kikke Molmi has no tense (as you may have noticed) nor pronouns, as it uses names only and a term for the "unknown person" if the name is unknown. So no I/you/us/he/she/they/it.

As opposed to Sukoig Nohaas, which depends on root words and affixes.

For example, the root word "zusiefaur" means "romantic love", so "le'zusiefaur" is "lover" (le' is a person), "me'zusiefaur" is "to love" (me' is a verb marker, and then uses a suffix for tense) and ner’zusiefaur means “romantically lovable” (ner’ is an adjective marker). So these two languages are very different when it comes to that.

Also, Kikke Molmi’s number system are in the form of +1, +2, +3, but use symbols with 1 stroke for +1, 2 strokes for +2, etc., which can be confusing

Creating a Lexicon

When creating your lexicon, think about *what* it's for. In fantasy/sci-fi languages, focus on specific scenes and terminology. As for everyday use, I personally make words as I need them or find a list of words and fill them all out. You should definitely keep them on an online document or notebook and if you want to use it IRL, it's a good idea to make flashcards/quizzes to memorize.

Slang is a good thing to add. English uses “fruity” in reference to being gay, while Spanish uses, “Tener pluma.”

An example of Sukoig Nohaas slang is, “ner’nemmia ner’nuun fomaasg,” which means, “a dusty old book.” This is slang for someone who is outdated and shuns modern technology-- basically a boomer.

Actually Writing Things

You can easily look up "conlang exercises" and poems, but if you want a *real* challenge, translate a book.

As I showed before, you can also make song covers. Keeping the same amount of syllables is hard, though, so I separate each syllable, count them, and find my own words that match and share the meaning. It's tricky, though, and you'll need a decent amount of words to do so. Sometimes you need to make new words to fit it.

It's tough at the beginning, but it definitely gets easier the more you practice.

Prompts

Here are some prompts to get you started :

Pick 3 random vowels and 8 random consonants.

Choose 5 random or your favorite Pokémon and use those letters.

Start every syllable with a vowel and end it with 2 consonants (same or different).

Take real words and invert/scramble for a new word.

Use the first 2 letters of 6 people you know.

Only use the letters of your full name. (Credit : @/conlangprompts)

Find three random items and use those letters for a word.

And prompts for scripts :

Use your favorite things as letters.

Make every letter have a swirl.

Only use boxes and circles.

Draw shapes with your eyes closed and use those as letters.

Conclusion

Making a conlang seems daunting and intimidating at first, but it's super fun! I came up with Kikke Molmi in less than 10 minutes. Creating a language for a fictional world can be a lot harder because you need to obey certain rules, but Awkwords really helps with that! Don't stress and work at your own pace. Let your creativity flow, even if you don't see yourself as creative.

I hope this helps. And remember, don't stress and have fun!

a list of interactions and responses

between Azriel, Elain, Gwyn, and Mor, in chronological order

this is exactly what it says. Canon material, mostly quoted but sometimes paraphrased, that shows something about how these characters either think of one another or how they act around each other. Do with it what you will. I have merely contextualized the Azriel extra for our convenience. 

Feel free to add on, but the point of this post is not to speculate. It’s to show exactly what happened, and where we are at at the end of acosf.

Once upon a time... we all started reading acosf.

Chapter 19

Azriel stilled. “What happened to Elain?” Cassian waved a hand. “A fight with Nesta. Don’t bring it up,” he warned, when Az’s eyes darkened. [...] “You all right?” His brother nodded. But the shadows still swarmed him.

Chapter 21

Elain: “And I remember Feyre rescuing me.” (no mention of Azriel)

(paraphrase) Same scene, Nesta says, “Maybe you’ll become interesting at last, Elain.” Meanwhile description says that “No one spoke, though shadows gathered in the corner of the room like snakes ready to strike.”

Nesta: “Did you tell Elain (about the baby)?” Before Feyre could reply, Azriel said, “What about Mor?”

Chapter 22

Azriel mentions helping rescue Elain.

Cassian: “Do you think you’ll ever be ready for one (a child)?” Ever be ready to confess to Mor what’s in your heart?

Chapter 29

Az: “There is an innate darkness to the Dread Trove that Elain should not be exposed to.

Amren: “Including Elain, who is more than capable of defending herself against the darkness of the trove, if she chooses to. Don’t underestimate her.”

Chapter 42

The High Lord of Day considered Cassian and Azriel, then frowned. “Where is my beautiful Mor?” Az said tightly, “Away.”

Chapter 44

(paraphrase) Cassian and Gwyn have an extended conversation about Valkyries and fighting. Nesta says they should “combine the Illyrian and Valkyrie techniques.”

[Nesta] had meant it in jest, but the words rumbled through the space, as if she’d spoken some great truth, something that made fate sit up. Azriel turned fully this time, eyes narrowed. Like those shadows had whispered something to him.

Chapter 58

(paraphrase) after Nesta tells Elain “fuck you”, Elain laughs. Az seems concerned. Elain and Az look at one another, she stops laughing, his face is neutral, “something” passes between them.

(paraphrase) more talk about Valkyrie training and the ribbon with Mor.

(paraphrase) Nesta gives Az a gift and hugs him. He blushes and his shadows swirl.

Azriel extra paraphrase (full text here):

Elain looks at Az with “slight tightening in her face”.

Elain gives him earplugs cuz of all the sex. He thinks about keeping her other gift by his beside.

Az gives Elain the necklace and he and Elain almost kiss.

Rhys says no way buddy.

Az runs into Gwyn.

He gives her tips about how to cut the ribbon and watches her practice.

He tells her that shadowsinger isn’t a nickname, it’s what he is.

After talking with Gwyn, “he could have sworn a faint, beautiful singing followed him. Could have sworn his shadows sang in answer.

Next morning, Azriel finds Elain’s necklace returned, in the pile of his other gifts.

He thinks about “how Gwyn’s teal eyes might light upon seeing the necklace. For whatever reason, he could see it. But Azriel tucked away the thought, consciously erasing the smile it brought to his face. Buried the image down deep, where it glowed quietly. A thing of secret, lovely beauty.”

After this, Elain and Azriel have no more on-page interaction in the remaining 130 pages of acosf. I was also unable to find anything about him thinking of her. They are both in the room while Feyre gives birth but they kinda had other things on their minds.

Chapter 60

Cassian glanced over at Az, but his attention was fixed on the young priestess, admiration and quiet encouragement shining on his face. 

Nesta: “You’re the new ribbon, Az.”

And when Gwyn reached the finish line, bloody and panting and grinning so wildly her teal eyes glowed like a sunlit sea, she only extended her battered hand to Azriel. “Well?” “You already have your prize. You just finished the Blood Rite Qualifier.” Gwyn gaped. Nesta and Emerie halted. But Gwyn said to him, “That’s why you invited them?”

Chapter 64

(paraphrase) when Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie are taken for the Blood Rite, Azriel argues in support of rescuing Eris.

Chapter 68

“There are plenty of other unspeakable things that could be happening to her,” Cassian said, voice thickening. “To Emerie and to Gwyn.” The shadows deepened around Azriel, his siphons gleaming like cobalt fire. “You - we - trained them well, Cassian. Trust in that. It’s all we can do.”

Chapter 80

Gwyn, Emerie, and Nesta tell Cassian and Azriel what happened during the Blood Rite. (We don’t get details, cuz we already know.)

To sum up, at the end of acosf:

Azriel and Elain: have not interacted on the page since the almost kiss after chapter 58, she returned his gift to him and he gave it to Gwyn (secretly), Rhys has (at least attempted to) put an end to Az “panting” around her.

Azriel and Gwyn: he helped train her, his shadows sing, he looks at her in admiration, she is his new ribbon, he talked to Clotho and Devlon so that Gwyn could do the Blood Rite Qualifier. Then he decided that Gwyn would be okay during the Blood Rite after being taken.

Azriel and Mor: idfk what his deal is

Elain and Lucien: still mated.

I was just looking at the scene where Lucien says that Elain is his mate, and when she comes out of the Cauldron, before he says anything:

Elain was staring at him before he spoke. She knew, too.

Been thinking today about what Az is feeling in his POV, stripped of the arousal. Wanting to have sex and having feelings for someone aren’t the same thing, so I thought hey, let’s look at that chapter purely from the perspective of how Azriel feels. 

The primary emotion he feels before Rhys shows up is jealousy.

We know that: 

Azriel couldn't stop it. The envy in his chest. Of Cassian, and Rhys.

And then later when he’s talking to Elain:

Azriel had needed to stay by the door the whole time because he couldn't stand the sight of it, the scent of their mating bond...

I emphasized the words “their mating bond” because that’s what he is jealous of - not that Elain is tied to someone else. Not that someone else could have a claim on her affections. Not of her. He’s jealous of the bond that other people share, such as what Rhys and Feyre have, and what he can likely sense Nesta and Cassian having. 

Combined with the fact that he doesn’t think about who Elain is as a person, either in his internal monologue or to Rhys, it says a lot. I think we all read that POV and looked immediately for ship implications, but I don’t think that was the point. I think the point was to show his state of mind, which is incredibly lonely and quickly becoming the fifth wheel every holiday as all his friends and acquaintances get paired off. He’s angry and tired and ready for his turn. The fact that Elain is there and semi-unattached makes her a convenient target for those feelings, but it’s not about her. 

When he apologizes to Elain, it’s because he knows this. He knows that she is vulnerable and lonely and relatively naive and wanting to make her own choices. 

As Rhys has words with Az, his emotions turn to rage. Not sorrow for having hurt Elain, or regret for not having taken it further, or concern for how she would react to his rejection.

Azriel stiffened. Let his cold rage rise to the surface, the rage he only ever let Rhysand see, because he knew his brother could match it.

After they have words, Az’s emotions turn to nothingness; he turns them off because he can’t handle the jealousy and rage.

Until he felt nothing. Was again nothing at all. 

When Az runs into Gwyn, he grins, he let’s out a soft chuckle, his shadows calm.

Then, Clotho notes that Az’s eyes are sad. Az thinks that:

He wouldn't go so far as to call Gwyn a friend, but...

And he ends the chapter with something sparking in his chest, having to consciously erase a small smile.

So what does it all mean? To me, Az is lonely and tired of feeling that way. He reaches out for a moment of comfort but recognizes it for what it is, and how it would negatively impact Elain. He knows it was wrong and tells Elain so even before Rhys has a chance to tell him the same thing. He’s angry, because for just a moment he wanted to forget how jealous he is that everyone else has someone. He finds calm while he helps Gwyn work on training, though the sadness is still there. But then there is a spark. The spark of something new, of being able to move on? Maybe. But if we remove the physical aspect of his POV and focus just on his feelings, it tells a different story.

I love getting stuck in book worlds. Like you read a book and get so immersed and invested and all you want to do is wake up and eat and work and sleep and travel and have adventures and fall in love in that world.

Coming back to reality can be a slap in the face but being in a book world can be so fantastic.

Data Governance: The Vanguard of the Digital Age

In this blog, we delve into the world of data governance and its pivotal role in the digital age

In the world of business and technology, the language spoken with reverence is none other than that of data. This immaterial entity, the underpinning of our global society, streams through the veins of the digital world and functions as the lifeblood of modern organisations. Amidst the euphoria of digital transformation, however, lurks an often-ignored imperative — data governance. Its influence has been gradually swelling, gradually expanding like a tidal wave on the horizon and its importance cannot be overstated in the face of evolving data privacy regulations and our relentless march towards a data-driven future.

The Humble Beginnings

The seedling of data governance took root during the dawn of the information age when databases were first put into operation, helping businesses manage their operations. In these early stages, the need for data governance wasn't apparent. Data was often stored and processed on siloed systems, typically under the jurisdiction of individual business units or departments. Each unit had its own data handlers and managers, who were responsible for the quality and security of their data.

From Chaos to Order

This seemingly autonomous process, however, was a ticking time bomb. Duplication of effort, discrepancies in data interpretation and the lack of data standardisation led to inefficiencies, conflicts which led to disinformed decision-making. It was becoming increasingly clear that the way businesses dealt with data needed an overhaul. Enter: Data Governance

Around the same time, regulators around the world began recognising the importance of protecting data. Data breaches and privacy concerns started making headlines, propelling laws like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States. These regulations put data governance into the limelight, marking a critical shift in the way companies manage data.

The Age of Data Governance

The sheer volume of data production today is astronomical. Consider this: The Big Data industry rocketed from $169 billion in 2018 to a staggering $274 billion in 2022, representing a 62% increase, according to our 2022 State of Data report. With such a vast sea of data at our disposal, it's no surprise that the necessity for data governance has surged dramatically.

It was evident that there was a shift in the skills lacking within teams from the previous year from our State of Data report. A more evenly spread demand across Data Governance, Master Data Management, Software Engineering and Data Quality was noted, as opposed to the previous year where Data Governance dominated. This shift indicates the diversification of the data skills market in line with the rapid growth of the industry.

However, from a Chief Data Officer’s (CDO) perspective, the main skills gap remains in the realm of Data Governance. This is hardly surprising, given the ceaseless flow of data through businesses. Another Gartner study included in our report revealed that a staggering 90% of respondents' data governance projects failed, indicating that even with data governance teams in place, the scale of data flowing through a business is causing widespread challenges.

The People Process in Data Governance

In our increasingly data-driven society, it's easy to fall into the trap of attributing all the power to the tools we use to manage and manipulate data. However, according to the 2022 State of Data report, a notable shift was observed, revealing a stronger focus on the people processes within data governance. This underscores the essential role of individuals and teams who handle the data and carry out the governance procedures, even in an era dominated by sophisticated software and algorithms.

Unpacking the Importance

There's a reason why people processes have taken centre stage in data governance. Despite technological advancements, data governance remains a fundamentally human endeavour. The choices made by data professionals - from data architects and stewards to Chief Data Officers - shape the direction and success of data governance initiatives. It's these individuals who set the standards, manage the data life cycle, ensure regulatory compliance and instil a data-driven culture within an organisation.

With the explosion of data and the surge in the complexity of managing it, the need for skilled data professionals has never been more critical. As highlighted in our State of Data report, a primary challenge from a CDO's perspective remains the skills gap in data governance. Even with the best data governance tools at their disposal, without the right skills to implement and manage these tools, organisations are likely to struggle in their data governance endeavours.

It’s worth noting the report's revelation that an astounding 90% of data governance projects failed. This finding points to the importance of the human element - the need for expertise in navigating the intricate landscape of data management. When data governance teams are armed with the right skills and are adept at their roles, they're better equipped to lead successful data governance projects.

Nurturing a Data Governance Culture

With the importance of the people processes extends beyond mere skills. It's also about nurturing a culture of data governance within the organisation. An effective data governance framework relies heavily on cooperation across different roles and levels of the organisation. It's the people who follow the procedures, adhere to the protocols to uphold the principles of data governance.

Promoting a culture of data governance means encouraging transparency, advocating for data privacy, promoting data literacy and fostering a shared understanding of data's value and purpose. It's about aligning everyone - from executives to entry-level employees - towards a common goal: to leverage data responsibly and effectively.

The Future of Data Governance

Looking to the future, Data Governance was singled out as the main focus for respondents for the coming year, overshadowing Big Data/Data Lakes, which was the most popular response in 2021. This highlights the growing recognition of the importance of data governance in managing the ever-increasing complexity and volume of data.



As data continues to grow both in volume and complexity, data governance is poised to evolve as well. It will play an increasingly crucial role in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, where the quality and reliability of data are paramount. Additionally, as data privacy and security regulations become more stringent, the robustness of data governance practices will be tested further.

Data Governance has journeyed from the side lines to centre stage. In this increasingly data centric world, its rise to prominence is a testament to the changing dynamics of data management and the increasing recognition of data as a crucial asset. It stands as the vanguard of data protection and privacy and its importance will continue to grow as we delve deeper into the realms of the digital world.
