I got this recipe from a friend, made one little modification, and it is truly one of the best homemade granolas I have ever made. It has all the best yummy stuff in it, and is also very quick and easy.
Now, a lot of you might wonder what on earth puffed millet is, and why in the world you'd want to eat bird seed... but puffed millet is one of my favorite things, especially when mixed in with yummy sweetness. It adds a nice airy texture to this granola that is irresistible. If you don't like millet, or would prefer not to use it, just replace it with a cup of oatmeal.
When I make it again, I think I will add a vanilla bean to the liquid mixture as well, just to add some extra vanilla flavor.
2 cups rice crispy type cereal
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup coconut oil
2/3 cup natural sugar
1/3 cup honey
1 Tablespoon molasses
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp sea salt
Preheat oven to 325*. In a Dutch oven, boil the butter, coconut oil, sugar, honey, molasses, cinnamon, vanilla and salt together for 2 min. Take off the heat and add oats and cereal. Mix well. Divide onto two cookie sheets and spread out evenly. Bake for 8 min, then switch and continue baking for 6 min. Make sure to watch it. You want it golden brown. The edges could burn.

A final word on Marshall's comments
If Chicago columnists and national NFL analyst types thought Jay Cutler behaved poorly in a press conference setting, they should probably take a look at the 1 minute, 40 second group interview Brandon Marshall did with Denver reporters on Thursday.
It was Marshall's first interview since he was suspended by the team on Aug. 28 for his poor behavior at practice during the preseason. Marshall returned from suspension on Sept. 6 and has declined to speak to reporters ever since. NFL players are required to speak to the media once a week if asked. If they don't, they can be fined.
What we saw Thursday was Marshall doing the bare minimum in order to avoid a fine. (Just like how he showed up to training camp on July 27, four days before other veterans to avoid a major fine.) He waited until the final two minutes of the open locker room period to hold court, then ignored most questions and gave rehearsed, generic answers about Cleveland's defense. He then blew off the final question and walked away.
In general, I understand why Marshall has been declining interview requests. Often times, he says too much and gets himself into further trouble. Surely he doesn't want to say anything inflammatory that would get himself in trouble with Broncos coaches or teammates. Perhaps he's taking some good advice to keep his mouth shut and just play. That is all well and good, but he could also do himself a major favor in the PR department if he talked and got it over with.
By ducking reporters and making a mockery of an interview setting, the real people Marshall is insulting are you guys – the fans. Right? Don't you want to know how Marshall has been affected by the suspension, if he learned his lesson about practice behavior, if he apologized to his teammates and if he'll be a productive member of this team? You're the ones who buy his jersey and cheer for him on Sundays.
Instead, he comes across like a child, which is the whole reason he got suspended in the first place.

This roundtrip Looe Valley walk starting at Polraen Country House at Sandplace is one of my favourite memories of walking with May (RIP), our sorely missed black labrador. The original blog was posted in Spring 2010. If you want to catch this spring's bluebells, then check availability on our Spring Breaks Special Offer now or read on:
Bluebell Walk in the Looe Valley
"I set off walking this morning from Polraen Hotel, up the Looe Valley to Sandplace Station with our black labrador May. We ended up having one of those walks that makes you happy to be alive! We continued along the lane toward Tregarland Bridge, then veered off on a public footpath above the Looe Valley railway line. May was startled as we stumbled across two courting ducks and strolled along the track above the Looe River with wild garlic brushing our ankles.
After about half an hour walking along the track in the valley bottom next to the river, I intended to stop at Lower Wringworthy, but it was a lovely morning so I continued on a circular walk. We finally emerged on the main road heading back through Morval. Our route took us down past Tregarland Farm back into the Looe Valley. The views down onto the valley below are stunning, looking beyond inquisitive cows to fields of sheep grazing at Morval Barton Farm. We continued pretty cottages and hedgerows brimming with flowers and headed back down to the valley bottom to join the B3254 past Sandplace Station back to Polraen.
Looe Valley Walk with a dog
All in all, a one hour walk which lifted the spirits and made me so happy to be living in South East Cornwall. The dog thought it was a treat too! It's not often I get the time to do what our guests can do from our doorstep at Polraen! But walking in the Looe Valley is good for the soul!!
Spring days are being warmed by lots of sunshine, and the hedgerows in the Looe Valley are stunning. With an extended flowering season, the daffodils and primroses are vying for attention along the roadside while carpets of bluebells will soon be appearing on the wooded slopes. Pink and white campions and violets peep from the grassy banks and the first signs of cherry blossom are showing on the trees.
At Polraen, we like to help guests explore without the car lending them maps and providing public transport information for the bus and Looe Valley train. There's a range of walks accessible from the stations along the railway line.
At Polraen Country House at Sandplace in the Looe Valley. An 18th century former coaching inn offering AA 4 Star Gold Award Guest Accommodation.
In recent years, the local landowner has undertaken considerable groundworks along this green lane betwen Tregarland Bridge to Plashford and Lower Wringworthy. On the positive side, this has provided greater access as the path can now be walked more frequently without wellies and its status as a bridlepath for horseriding has been resumed. Thankfully much of the garlic has recovered!! There are lots of Looe Valley Walks but this one is off the beaten track and worth the effort!! Takes about 1 to 1 and a half hours depending on walking speed but it's still a fantastic walk, particularly in spring. You can easily reach it by taking either the bus or train out of Looe along Sandplace Road and alighting at Sandplace Station on the Looe Valley Line.

Sarasota will become one of the best housing markets in the country to buy a foreclosure this year as the supply of deeply-discounted bank repossessions continues to grow, a new study predicts.
The community joined three other Florida cities to rank among the nation's top 15 metropolitan areas for buyers shopping for a foreclosure, according to a report released Wednesday by California-based RealtyTrac Inc.
The firm's prediction adds weight to expectations that another wave of defaults could break into the housing market later this year, adding to the inventory of homes on the market but also tempering price appreciation.
"Now that we're shifting over to a seller's market, these cash-deal foreclosures are really moving," said Ron Cornette, marketing and training director for this region's Wagner Realty. "There's still demand out there for foreclosures -- some people just really go after them."
Sarasota came in at No. 15 on RealtyTrac's list of bank-owned buying opportunities, based on a 19 percent jump in foreclosure sales in the fourth quarter.
The market takes an average of 157 days to sell a bank-owned listing, at a price tag of $127,181 each, for a 38 percent discount off the region's non-distressed sales, RealtyTrac reported.
Only three other areas of Florida were included in the report: Palm Bay at No. 5, Daytona Beach at No. 7 and Pensacola at No. 10. Cleveland topped the country as the best area to buy a default this year, with foreclosure sales surging 141 percent in the fourth quarter and only fetching $57,782 each.
The report solidified what many institutional investors already had seen -- deals to be had on the auction block.
Since early fall, a handful of real estate investment giants, including a subsidiary of New York's Blackstone Group, have been gobbling up foreclosures from Parrish to North Port, planning to rent them out.
But that has made it more difficult for traditional homebuyers, who often must rely on lender financing and cannot match offers that are now coming in well above asking price, to compete, said Shannon Moore, broker and owner of Green Lion Realty in North Port, which specializes in foreclosures.
"It's getting harder and harder to find them," Moore said.
"These investors are buying them up like crazy, and you also have the traditional homebuyers, and they're all looking for the same thing."
There were 6,260 distressed sales in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties last year, a 5 percent dip from 2011 and a 23 percent decline from 2010, RealtyTrac data show.
But the share of defaults among those transactions continues to slide. The 3,051 bank foreclosure sales in Southwest Florida in 2012 fell 13 percent from the year before and 25 percent from 2010.
That could still change later this year, with nearly 14 percent of all mortgage loans in Sarasota now 90 days or more delinquent -- a trend that supports RealtyTrac's prediction of more repossessions to come.
Wednesday's report also indicates the four-year foreclosure backlog that began growing again in the area's court system last year is likely to continue through at least this year.
RealtyTrac released a matching report Wednesday on the best 15 U.S. metros in which to purchase a short sale; Sarasota was not on the list.
"Short sales are on the rise as a better alternative to foreclosure in many areas -- good news for buyers and investors in markets where short sales are closing more quickly at solid discounts," said Daren Blomquist, RealtyTrac's vice president.
"But buying from the bank may still be a better option in other markets, because of increasing REO inventory, deeper discounts and shorter times to close."
Sarasota 'repos' likely to increase
Sarasota will become one of the best housing markets in the country to buy a foreclosure this year as the supply of deeply-discounted bank repossessions continues to grow, a new study predicts.

The LA Roadsters' Specialty Parking
Customs, Coupes, Trucks, And More
Sometimes the only way to get street rodders to follow the rules is to see what we're doing and write the rules around that. A perfect example is the L.A. Roadster Show, where coupes, sedans, wagons, pickups, Vickys, customs, and just about every other variety of pre-'75 iron have been crashing this topless party for years. Nobody has the heart to kick them out on Father's Day—instead the L.A. Roadsters Club relegates the non-roadsters to a designated area of honor known as Specialty Parking.
This year's reconfigured show layout relocated Specialty Parking farther from the swap meet and closer to the roadsters and vendors. Seeing these cars parked where we expected to see roadsters pushed us a little out of our comfort zone. Then we remembered that this whole hobby is about taking something familiar and modifying it into something out of the ordinary. As usual, Specialty Parking was full of out-of-the-ordinary rods and customs—every one of them was an example of imagination, modification, and change.

King Los speaks on his departure from Bad Boy records, his plans for 2014, and his new mixtape, "Zero Gravity 2" with HotNewHipHop.
King Los left many fans surprised when he announced that he would be parting ways with Bad Boy. Initially, it was unclear if he and Diddy were still on good terms. HNHH was able to catch up with the rapper following his listening party in New York, where he cleared up any rumors about the situation.
"It was more of an amicable thing," said Los, indicating that he and Diddy are just looking to pursue their own ventures. "Two different endeavors. People sometimes moving so fast in their own direction that they don't want to hold each other back. It's nothing personal. I want the best for Puff. I know he wants the best for me."
The Baltimore rapper also revealed that he and Diddy may still work together in the future. "I want to see Revolt become the #1 network. I want to be on there!" he exclaimed. "He offered me to be on there and to work with him to. I want him to do great, and I know he want me to do great, and sometimes in order to to do that, you gotta go and establish things for yourself."
"Los then spoke about his plans for the new year, in which he'll be releasing a new mixtape. "In 2014 I just intend to inspire a lot of people and motivate a lot of people," he said. "Success and all that-- it comes with the territory... we want plaques and all kinds of awards and stuff too... but at the same time it's more important to inspire someone.
Watch the full interview with Los below, and look for his upcoming mixtape, Zero Gravity 2 March 24th.

iTunes Store Sets New Record with 25 Billion Songs Sold.
Apple announced that music fans (me included ;) have purchased and downloaded more than 25 billion songs from the iTunes Store, the world's most popular online music, TV and movie store. The 25 billionth song, "Monkey Drums" (Goksel Vancin Remix) by Chase Buch, was purchased by Phillip Lüpke from Germany. As the downloader of the 25 billionth song, Phillip will receive a €10,000 iTunes Gift Card.
"We are grateful to our users whose passion for music over the past 10 years has made iTunes the number one music retailer in the world," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. "Averaging over 15,000 songs downloaded per minute, the iTunes Store connects music fans with their favorite artists, including global sensations like Adele and Coldplay and new artists like The Lumineers, on a scale we never imagined possible."
"In a lot of ways, iTunes has leveled the playing field for musicians. Whether you're unsigned, indie, major, whatever—it's the place most people go to buy digital music," said Wesley Schultz, guitarist and lead vocalist of The Lumineers. "iTunes doesn't exclude any musicians simply because they're not yet established or popular."

PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- A majority of Americans said they believe President Obama will make a bipartisan effort to solve the nation's problems, a Gallup poll released Monday indicated.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans, 65 percent, said they believe Obama will reach out to congressional Republicans while a majority, 57 percent, said they also expect congressional Democrats to try to work with the opposing party's leaders, results of the Gallup-USA Today poll indicated.
Less than half, 48 percent, said the same of the Republicans in Congress.
Results in the latest poll are similar to those in November 2010 after Republicans won control of the House, but down from 2008, when Obama won his first term as president, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said.
Nearly two-thirds of Democrats also said the country would benefit most if party leaders would compromise to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff of tax rate expirations and automatic across-the-board spending cuts.
Results for poll are based on nationwide telephone interviews with 1,009 adults conducted Nov. 9-12. The margin of error is 4 percentage points.

Hudson and Pearl find homes
Pit bull puppies are two of three found near death in September
ALBANY — They were found beaten, starved and close to death near a railroad track in Arbor Hill.
The three pit bull puppies were just three weeks old when they were saved on Sept. 10. One did not survive, but the other two, named Hudson and Pearl, were slowly nursed back to health.
One has a prosthetic paw. The other is missing two toes.
On Wednesday afternoon, after a lengthy search, the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society sent the pair to their new homes.
Hudson, the male with the prosthesis, will live with Richard and Rosemarie Nash of Schodack. The Nashes own another rescued pit bull, Sami, and five rescued cats.
Pearl, Hudson's sister, went to the Kittle family, who have a 4-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever and a huge back yard at their Poestenskill home.
"Look at him, he's just gorgeous," Rosemarie Nash said as her husband held Hudson in front of a pack of television cameras. "It's an honor to be bringing him home."
Investigators and the humane society believe the pups may have been nailed to the rail tracks. No one has been charged in the case, and a $7,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest.
"We don't want to dwell on the bad today," Richard Nash said. "We want the good and the happy to just go on."
On Wednesday morning, brother and sister, now about 4 months old, played in an outdoor pen at the humane society as employees and others who helped care for the pups said goodbye.
The Kittles and Nashes were chosen after the humane society fielded hundreds of phone calls from prospective owners as far away as California and asked each to submit a 300-word essay explaining why their home is best suited for the pups. Executive Director Brad Shear said the humane society received about 30 essays.
"Each of the essays were very good," Shear said. "There were a lot of good people, but in the end we had to dig down and focus on what we thought was best for the dogs."
The humane society visited the Kittles' house to see how Pearl would interact with the family's lab, Bailey.
"They hit it off right away," Susan Kittle said. "We didn't want to let her go home."
Richard and Rosemarie Nash took Sami to visit Hudson with similar results. They'll be adopting Hudson not long after Richard's brother died, just after Thanksgiving.
"We're so thrilled to be bringing him into our home," Richard Nash said.
Hudson's rear left paw had to be amputated. He was fitted for a prosthetic paw in October and it was attached last month. Tom Bowersox, who performed the rare procedure, said he had fitted only one other animal with an artificial limb in more than 20 years of practice.
Hudson's new paw is essentially a flexible cast with a rubber grip at the bottom. The brown-and-white pup seemed barely to notice when the replacement paw was put on and was soon chasing Pearl.
The Kittles say they plan to take Hudson to visit hospitals and recovery centers for amputees. Hudson has already visited amputees at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Center in Niskayuna.
"He'll be an inspiration to others," Rosemarie Nash said.
Litter mates are often sent to different homes, Shear said, because when siblings stay together they can distract each other, making them difficult to train.
"We've separated (Hudson and Pearl) before, and they've been perfectly happy," Shear said.
The Nashes and the Kittles say they will let the pups visit each other. They plan for the pair to attend training classes together starting this month.

That bite in the air. The clear blue sky against the purple Ochil Hills. The sickly sweet pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks. Mali tentatively poking his head outside the open back door, sniffing out the cold air, and deciding against walking outside today. My tartan stole and homemade knitted baby blue scarf. All my favourite TV shows back for another series. My first pumpkin delivered in my weekly veg bag.
It's autumn.
I'm bouncing with excitement. The other day at work, a colleague greeted me at the door and remarked it was colder today, to which I replied: 'I know! It's great!' (Except it's freezing in the office, which is not great.)
Like spring after a drawn-out, dreary February, I feel rejuvenated. Summer is wonderful – especially in Scotland, where you get nearly 20 hours of light a day, brambles grow along the River Forth for peckish walkers to pick, and we get a month-long cultural festival in Edinburgh (The Fringe) – but I can't stand it for long. It's the heat, you see. I'm like an overdressed Victorian middle-class snob, fanning herself feverishly as she lounges underneath a parasol, complaining to everyone with ears about the heat. Autumn is a welcome breath of fresh air after a short but much-enjoyed summer.
I just feel alive. Hopeful. Chipper. (I know, me, chipper!) There's just so much to enjoy, all things pumpkin spice being top on the list.
If you detest all the pumpkin madness, I am sorry (that you are such a miserable person), and want to prepare for what is coming next: many, many pumpkin recipes. #sorrynotsorry
Pumpkin Breakfast Loaf with Chocolate Drizzle
Notes: The chocolate drizzle doesn't look amazing in these pictures, because I'd tried making it with vegan butter, and the result was disappointing. It's much, much better without it. Just chocolate + maple syrup makes a thick, syrupy drizzle. On another note, this loaf isn't too sweet, and can be made with wholemeal flour. If you want to serve it for dessert, you can add a few tablespoons of raw cane sugar.
For the pumpkin loaf:
225g (1.5 cups) plain (wholemeal) flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (The Kitchn has a good recipe for it)
125ml (1/2 cup) maple syrup
75ml (1/3 cup) coconut oil, melted
250ml (1 cup) pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
2 tbsp non-dairy milk of choice
For the chocolate drizzle:
50g (1.75 oz) dark chocolate
1 tbsp maple syrup
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC and grease a loaf tin.
2. Sift the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre; place all the wet ingredients in the well, then fold them in.
3. Pour the batter into the loaf tin, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Bake for 45 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
4. Chop or break the chocolate and add it to a small saucepan, along with the maple syrup. On moderate heat, melt the chocolate, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine. Set aside to cool a little, but not too long; you should ideally pour it over the loaf in the next ten minutes, while the chocolate is still runny but cool enough to set.
Keep covered with a cloth or stored in the bread tin for up to 3 days.

We are still coming up with a brand: What if we called them "eM" bracelets… for eMpathy and Marauders? It also spells "me" backwards which could translate as putting others before yourself. Let me keep thinking!!
How did the Maclay Visual Arts Team approach this idea? We took some time to brainstorm and prepare. We wanted an idea that would encompass the whole school and others in our community. Doing this at the same time as we try to build excitement for our new ceramics class in the Upper School. Below is our proposal.
Proposing Committee: Maclay Visual Arts Teachers
Kim Daniel, Cathy Hicks, Kyle Maurey and Katilyn Dressel
In the area of innovation, the committee values proposals that establish new programs which will open up new avenues of learning and experience to our students: The Maclay Visual Arts Department wants to become a POSITIVE INSTIGATOR! We often associate the word "instigator" with someone "causing problems" when in reality instigators are simply those who rebel against the "status quo" that has been established or in this case allowed to persist or exist. Our society and country was founded on such enthusiastic instigators for change and if you feel as strongly about the improvement of the moral fabric of our society / "Maclay Culture" – that is why we want to become an instigator for positive change within our school community on and off of our campus. This small act of kindness might evolve into something much bigger. This may lead to larger initiatives down the road and instigating a change within our school, our area and our community. We want to promote opportunities for demonstrating Empathy.
- We want K-12 art students to make 2 clay bracelets (1 to keep and 1 to donate) *Demonstrating Empathy
- Would like to incorporate Random Acts of Kindness and the Character Education words / program to help build empathy in our students. As we lead by example, we want the bracelets to be donated to different programs. (Words can be on bracelet or card) Example ideas listed below:
- · Nurses that work with Alzheimer's and dementia patients
- · Parents of children at Shands (maybe work with Dance Marathon)
- · Employees at nursing homes
- · Police Officer (wives)
- · Basically people who make a difference in our community
- · *Each grade can have the power to choose where theirs goes / or group up based on choice. This will give the students more ownership in the process. Plus they might have thought of something that we didn't.
- · We are open to suggestions on where to donate the bracelets. This can be an evolving process as the needs of our school community might deter where we donate and reach out.
- We feel like this is taking an idea that is old like a "friendship" bracelet and giving it a face lift to help mentor our students on the 6 pillars of Character Education: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. As we create in class, these are topics that will be relevant on why we are doing this particular project.
- We will have an art student design a card that the bracelet will be attached to.
- We would like to deliver 25 to each venue that we see fit
- Card design will have a specific #hashtag and a Maclay Visual Arts Logo. #maclaycares
Address the purpose of the project, project goals, implementation, and management.
· Project: Making a clay bracelet to donate for a community crafts project
· Project Goal: To grow our ceramics program and raise awareness of empathy on campus
· Implementation: During Art class. We can tap into Advisory meeting and US grade level meetings. We can create a power point to show kids, faculty and board our intentions
· Management: Make sure an art teacher is at each event to help facilitate the process.
Describe how your project will promote one or more of these priorities.
The positive effects of kindness are experienced in the brain of everyone who witnessed the act, improving their mood and making them significantly more likely to "pay it forward." This means one good deed in a crowded area can create a domino effect and improve the day of dozens of people! At the same time, we will be discussing Character Education in our classrooms.
Character Education Words:Honor, Leadership, Gratefulness, Kindness, Compassion, Responsibility, Determination, Courage, Confidence, Enthusiasm
- We spoke with Guidance Department on our idea and are willing to collaborate with them on this endeavor.
- We are willing to work with other clubs on campus in this effort to create a Positive Instigation Movement.
- ***Goal: Spending time looking for ways to express unconditional love towards other human beings by being creative, and imagining how crafting that connection with other souls will make you and them feel. As Elvis put it – "Walk a mile in my shoes before you criticize and abuse." We want to promote opportunities for demonstrating Empathy.
Include a brief description of the desired outcomes.
- · Our overall theme for the Visual Arts in 2017-2018 can be Positive Instigators through the Arts
- · Generate Positive Energy throughout the community on and off campus
- · Lead by example
- · Reach out to others on campus, Guidance, Anchor Club, Key Clubs
- · We will be implementing our 3 Pillars of Education on campus: Visual arts being involved, teaching each individual kid and helping them be accountable citizens.
- · We will work together in vertical and horizontal alignment with our curriculums
- · Grow our ceramics program
When you participate in a random act of kindness, what you are doing, in essence, is giving and receiving love… Unconditional love, no strings attached, no feeling of obligation. When you are giving, you acknowledge the goodness in your life and the spiritual presence that is always at work, encouraging you to continue to connect with others, to give love and compassion without need of reward or recognition.
Random acts of kindness are feedback loops of positive energy creation. Helping others not only raises your vibration, but also, the vibrations of those you help and that of the entire human collective. Creating something unexpected and wonderful in someone else's life, no matter how small, sets into motion a dramatic shift in a positive direction that can profoundly change lives. You can never really know how deep of an impact you've made in someone's life…what you consider a little bit of kindness may just turn a person's life completely around and give them hope for the future. The universe responds to these shifts by bringing more and more abundance to you, them, and everyone on the planet. Changing another's reality through your actions has a ripple effect which changes the world.
Performing random acts of kindness makes you an example of what is possible. You become an inspiration, opening the awareness of others to their own potential. Most of us want our lives to inspire love in others. So for instance, when our children witness us doing good in the world, they are taught gratitude, compassion, love, and unity. Generations of individuals can learn from this that happiness is a choice, but you have to be open to it and take action to help spread it around. The world is evolving in such a way that requires each of us to take responsibility to create and grow positive energy any way we can. We are transforming the old ways into newer, lighter, more loving ways of being and living. The most important thing is to send your love out into the world no matter what form it takes.
- Language Arts: Define empathy as a class. Then ask students to identify characters in stories, novels, or plays that demonstrated empathy or could be described as empathic. Compare and contrast empathic levels across characters or thematic units.
- STEM classes: Introduce the design-thinking model for approaching a problem. Ask students to identify the "user" of the problem or product. Then, ask them to empathize with that user by identifying their thoughts, feelings, values, and worries. (See this resource and this one for a start!)
- Public Speaking: Any time you require a presentation, ask students to spend time empathizing with their audience. Who are they? What interests them? Then, ask students to use their skill of empathizing with the audience as they strategize the presentation, and develop the introductory hook to connect the topic to the audience.
- Behavior Management: When introducing behavioral expectations to students at the beginning of the year, define empathy and ask students to role-play different scenarios that can occur in the classroom. Ask them to brainstorm how empathy could change or shape those hypothetical scenarios to sustain a culture of caring, respect, and significance in the classroom.
- Read stories from the perspective of characters similar to your students. Ask your students to share their favorite literature, whether it aligns to the current curriculum, or not. This can remind teachers of the thoughts, perspectives, and worries influencing students every day. Middle and high school teachers: Read Young Adult literature. Elementary teachers: Read the books your students love from the classroom library. Be intentional about choosing diverse literature that reflects the diversity of your classroom.
- Follow a student schedule for a day. Or, if administration isn't supportive of this, simply ask a student to list all the assignments they've completed before arriving in your classroom and what his or her schedule looks like after school. We must keep in mind that this applies to all students. Students in 2nd grade can be overwhelmed just as readily as high school students. Read what one adult learned when she dared to take this challenge.
- Survey students frequently. These surveys can use technology or not. Post-it notes and exit slips can be as informative as their digitized counterparts, Padlet and Google Forms. One of the most powerful questions a teacher can ask a student is this: "What's one thing teachers should know about students?" or "What's the most important thing I should know about you?" Either question can provide data to drive instruction with an empathic mindset. Whether we use high-tech or low-tech, other questions to survey students may include: What are your passions? What brings you anxiety in school? Whom do you admire? Teachers, keep these answers on file to reference when having a particularly trying time with students. Keep these answers private (unless the answers wander into mandated reporter territory), but reference them to help adopt a mindset of empathy for students. Here's an example of a Google Forms survey for high school students at the beginning of the year.
We are currenlty in the process of branding out innovative grant.
We will post again for you to see how all of this will unfold.
As of now, we are in the process of branding, and working on our logo and hashtag

For just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside
Each other's mind
Instead of your ego
I believe you'd be, I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize, and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes…..
Purpose: To create and give these bracelets is a beautiful and simple reminder that you are loved and we care. (Character Education Implementation)
Okay, so here was my main problem. I gave the kids a choice of what to draw. I explained to the students that they needed to pick a fairly simple design. I showed them my example. I highly discouraged several very complicated drawings. I had explained the many problems with a complicated drawing. Some refused to take the easier route on this project. They were heck, bent, and determined to make it work. As you may surmise, most of the kids that chose the more complicated and detailed designs had more trouble completing the task. I tell you, sometimes you just got to let them figure stuff out.
Okay, so you have to realize that we live in a rural area and people are very into hunting and fishing. Seriously. I mean very seriously into hunting and fishing.
So where did this project come from?
For some reason I was just sitting and thinking about what first grade could make with clay. I decided on a fish. I googled fish and Big Mouth Billy Bass popped up on my screen. I thought, THAT IS IT!


text: CES is giving us a lot of news and the next interesting one is the announcement of the 23-inch Full HD 3D Vision compatible Alienware OptX AW2310 monitor. The monitor is equipped with a 120Hz panel with 3 ms response time and high brightness (400 cd/m2 compared to the normally 300 cd/m2 on other 3D displays) and contrast levels (up to 80000:1, but dynamic), although it is not very clear what panel is being used, and this might be one of the first monitors using the new 23″ LG 120Hz panels announced a month ago. Alienware OptX AW2310 has a nice-looking design and has an option to adjust the swivel, tilt and height to suit your personal preferences and all that you can get for $499, although the display is currently listed only on some local Alienware websites (New Zealand and Japan for instance), but will probably soon appear on others… Alienware claims that this display also has a low input lag, but does not state a number of milliseconds. They also mention something interesting that the input lag is low "In DVI mode only" which is probably related to the fact that you need to use the DVI for 3D mode and/or when playing with 120Hz refresh rate…. still this needs a little further clarification. Specifications of the Alienware OptX AW2310: Panel Size: 23″ Widescreen, 16:9 Panel Type: TN – Twisted Nematic Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) Contrast Ratio: 80000:1 (dynamic) Brightness: 400 cd/m2 (typical) Response Time: 3ms (typical) (grey-to-grey) Viewing Angle : 170°/ 160° Color Support : 16.7 million colors Color Gamut: 83.4% Refresh Rate: 120Hz (3D Capable) Video Connectivity: DVI x 1, HDMI x 1 Audio Connectivity: Yes; Audio In and Out (2.0) USB Ports : Yes: 4 USB 2.0 User Input / Controls: Touch Capacitive OSD Buttons Stand: Tilt, Swivel and Height Adjustable Interesting developments on the 120Hz area. This is nice. This looks good, 2nd to the Acer imo!

Android fans have much to be excited for today. Samsung just unveiled its much-rumored Galaxy S III smartphone. Beyond its larger screen, quad-core processor and beefy camera jammed into a thin chassis, the Galaxy S III is also clearly Samsung's response to the iPhone 4S's Siri.
The Lamborghini Of Android
The Galaxy S III is a smartphone of unparalleled power. It has a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display that can output 1280x720 resolution, a 1.4GHz quad-core processor paired with 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel rear camera (1080p HD video recording), 1.9-megapixel front camera, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage (expandable via microSD card slot), NFC, GPS with GLONASS, 4G LTE (for some carriers, although the international model will come will be HSPA+), 2,100mAh battery and of course, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Samsung shoved all of that stuff into a phone that's only 8.6mm thick. Incredible.
Clearly taking cues from the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note, the Galaxy S III is as powerful as it is minimal. The face only has three buttons: menu, home and back.
Siri, Is That You?
Nope, it's not. But it's close — very close. Using a combination of the Galaxy S III's cameras and mics, the smartphone can actually try to understand you. Samsung's Siri is called "S Voice" (overloading on the "S" naming, much?) It's weird, strange and will be very awkward because Samsung wants you to talk to your Galaxy S III by saying "Hi Galaxy!"
"The Galaxy S III is like a good friend who listens intently and responds quickly."
You can ask S Voice the weather, manage your schedules, launch apps, send texts and emails, and even take pictures for you. Would you rather not hit the snooze alarm button? Just say "snooze" to the Galaxy S III.
In terms of making the smartphone "see" you, Samsung has a feature called "Smart stay." Samsung says people hate unlocking their phones or tapping their screens to wake them up from sleep mode. Smart stay uses the 1.9-megapixel front cam to "see" your face and it'll unlock if it recognizes your face.
What about languages? No worries. The Galaxy S III understands eight different languages.
A New Camera King
HTC's One X just got a new rival in terms of packing an awesome camera. The Galaxy S III can take 20 photos in burst mode at a rate of 3.3 shots per second with zero lag.
Opening the camera app takes less than one second and can also be activated with a gesture by pressing and hold the screen and then rotating it.
Backside illumination ensures the camera can shoot in low-light conditions and advanced software allows intelligent face zooming and group tagging through facial recognition.
All Of The Other Goodies
The Galaxy S III is not a spec bump. Samsung's crammed so many new features into the Galaxy S III that we can't possibly go into detail on them all. Here are a few of the best:
- Wireless charging via resonance technology (Samsung says it's the first to ever use this tech in a phone)
- In-call sound equalizer
- AllSharePlay (Samsung's version of AirPlay)
- S Beam — tap two Galaxy S III phones together and BOOM — instant file sharing — movies, photos, music — you name it. It works via NFC, but is more advanced because it combines Wi-Fi Direct together with it.
- Smart alert — Typing a text message out to your mom, but decide to just call her up? Raise the Galaxy S III to your ear and it dials her up.
So when does the Galaxy S III arrive? Mark your calendars, it arrives in Europe on May 29 and will arrive globally to 146 countries and 296 wireless carriers 10 days from then. It'll come in "Marble white" and "Pebble blue." Pricing will depend on carrier and region.
Chime in folks. Is the Galaxy S III everything you wished for? Is this the phone to kill all Android smartphones and iPhones? We're all ears in the comments below.

On next years Christmas list....
Skins are not the biggest brand in cycling apparel but have certainly helped start a trend with their compression wear for both on the bike and travel and recovery. The C400 Bib Shorts from Skins certainly impressed this summer but at £153 these bib longs seem to fall a little fall of the mark by Skins own very high standards.
The fabric, so Skins say, provides dynamic gradient compression; delivering more oxygen-filled blood to your core, as well as muscles. The compression feels nice and is definitely noticeable. Having used these on the MTB a few times the main benefit which is noticeable from the compression is the improved muscle wrapping which does helps reduce fatigue from vibration. That's why triathletes and runners are so much more into compression wear than cyclists. As for performance enhancing blood delivery, I'll stick to my Spanish steaks. Also the excessively stitchy design is noticeable to the touch on the leg and may well divide opinion on looks too.
Some of my favourite features of the Skins C400 range are missing in the bib longs; none more so than the chamois pad. The pad used here is certainly not offensive but doesn't have the same shape and multi density foam that I found so comfortable in its summer time stablemate.
Fit and cut are good and thanks to Skins excellent attention to detail and there comprehensive sizing chart, finding the right pair is easy. Some may be disappointed to see a lack of ankle straps, which feature on the travel and recovery tights but the finishing is good here with no noticeable "dig in". Construction is excellent as always from Skins.
At the £153 list price these were going have to be amazing performers to score highly on value for money. Even so a couple of perhaps dated features and design don't help them either on that score, but the biggest drawback in terms of value for money is there usability. These have actually been very difficult to test, delivered in the summer they were too hot to use except for a couple of night rides in the woods. Then it wasn't long through Autumn when you'll switch to something thermal. That's the big gripe on value - £153 for a garment that you may only get to use for a couple of months in Spring and a month in Autumn. They obviously aren't designed for warmth but their lack of it makes them hard to use and who would wear longs in Summer when its finally warm enough to get your pasty white legs out?
Another very well made garment from Skins offering good muscle wrapping and a fit but slightly let down by a mediocre pad. However, these tights just struggle to make it out of the cupboard. Too warm for summer and only suitable for those cool but balmy Spring and Autumn rides. Perhaps we will see a revamped C400 version in 2011.

Lipedema diet
Your Custom Text Here
In general, Lipedema is a poorly understood disease in the United States; statistics show it is markedly under-diagnosed in this country. Lipedema is a painful fat disorder that, if untreated, can cause multiple health problems leading to mobility issues. The quality of life, emotionally and physically, for a Lipedema patient often suffers because the disease is typically dismissed as simple obesity.
How often have you seen a woman who appears to be a size 8 or 10 from the waist up and a size 18 or more from the waist down with unusually large, column-like legs? Women who have this body profile more often than not are exhibiting classic early stage Lipedema. As Lipedema progresses, fat will increase in the lower body. Unfortunately, Lipedema patients tend to gain weight in the lipedemic areas, and can only lose it in the non-lipedemic areas. Even bariatric surgery will only result in fat loss primarily from the waist up. Lipedemic fat cannot be exercised or even starved away.
Lipedema is a disorder of adipose tissue that occurs almost exclusively in women; it has also been called 'painful fat syndrome'. (Although Lipedema affects mostly women, there are a few cases that have been seen in men.) Typically there is abnormal bilateral and symmetrical swelling of the legs and hips that extends down towards the ankles where the fat forms a ring just above the ankle. This swelling is due to accumulations of fat and fluid in the tissues under the skin. Fatty bulges can be seen on the outer surfaces of the thighs and sometimes the upper arms are affected as well. Interestingly enough, the swelling often extends from the waist down, almost in a distinct line toward the ankles, with the feet remaining unaffected. This disorder can be inherited; most cases gradually develop during puberty, although it may develop or worsen due to trauma, such as surgery, peri-menopause or pregnancy. Lipedema has been seen in morbidly obese people and in anorexic individuals. It may be possible to limit the effects of Lipedema, through careful weight management, if diagnosed early enough. There are estimates that put the incidence of lipedema as high as 11% of the adult female population. We are talking millions of women here.

Prep notebook: Liberty catcher Brent Williams commits to Oklahoma State
In recent months, Liberty catcher Brent Williams had sent the Oklahoma State baseball program a number of letters with his bio, with his stats — just hoping to land on their radar.
See, his grandfather graduated from Oklahoma State, and he has family near the campus in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Williams was locked in on being a Cowboy.
Williams, who hit .533 with eight home runs and 33 RBI last season, did eventually land on Oklahoma State's radar, but it wasn't because of the emails. The Cowboys' coaching staff saw him play at a summer tournament in Utah, and immediately reached out to set up an on-campus visit.
See, Oklahoma State was in need of a catcher in the 2012 class.
"I was definitely surprised," Williams said.

If the fastest car is a rental car, that would make the fastest rental car the fastest car in the world. But which one is it?
Excluding all of the exotic and premium car rental places (none of those places that rent Bugattis to rappers), we'd say one of the fastest things you can find on rental lots would be a new Mustang GT. Tons of V8 power in someone else's car is about as fast as automobiles get.
So what's the fastest rental car? If you can't name the company who rents it and link to where it's available in the US (sorry all you Germans and your 'Ring rentals), your suggestion won't be counted for AOTD.

The Senate today memorialized the late Sen. Jim Beatty, a Fort Collins Republican who served two terms in the 1980s.
Among those present were Beatty's widow, Mary, and one of Beatty's Colorado State University interns, Jim Bensberg, who went on to become an El Paso County commissioner and now a Republican candidate for the legislature in 2012.
"I was with him every day of the session in 1984 and it was a wonderful educational experience," Bensberg said. "Beatty was Republican, and although he didn't try to convert me from a Democrat, that was the net effect."
Bensberg was assigned to Beatty as part of CSU's Student Senate legislative liaison program. Bensberg was paid a stipend to work at the Capitol in return for the lawmaker showing him the ropes.
Bensberg added he got to know former Sen. Cliff Dodge "fairly well," because Beatty and Dodge were office mates.
Beatty died in October at the age of 81. To learn more about him, including the songs he liked to sing in the shower, click here.

Early last week, I received an advanced copy of a press release from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) regarding a study that you may have heard about. I had every intention to write a blog on the topic when the information was released last Wednesday. Then, life and MS got in the way.
Since the news has broken (and some will say that the news is broken after reading this) I'll not offer it up as new, but rather I think I'd like to talk about what the study might mean for those of us living with multiple sclerosis.
The study, published in last week's issue of Neurology was funded by the National MS Society, the National Institutes of Health, and the University of Rochester. It followed 844 people living with the relapsing form of MS for 10 years in order to estimate the progress of their disease. During that time, researchers were also able to look at the costs of multiple sclerosis — from hospital and office-based healthcare costs to diagnostic tests, nursing home stays, home health aides, lost time at work, and productivity.
In her summary, the study's author, Katia Noyes, PhD, MPH, of the University of Rochester in New York, put it about as bluntly as I've heard it stated: "Our study shows that under the current prescribing and pricing conditions in the U.S., the disease-modifying drugs account for about 50 percent of a person's overall healthcare-related costs over 10 years and need to be brought into line so that they are not such an economic drain."
Collectively now: "DUH!"
Look further into how the study broke out the information gathered from research surveys and we see some rather disturbing information.
Dr. Noyes et al calculated the cost-effectiveness of all disease-modifying MS meds by measuring disease burden based on the number of years of life that would be added using a drug and the quality of life during those years. In other words, a person on one of the MS meds gained an average of about two "quality-adjusted" months over 10 years of use when compared to a person not taking that drug (or any other).
This number was based on the observation that a person taking that particular drug spent an average of 6 out of 10 years without any relapse of their MS, compared to 5 out of 10 years for the non-med user. Other drugs had different and varying results, but you get the idea… Some people had results as high as two-times better than their counterparts not on MS drugs.
While there are many "costs" associated with the researchers calculations, over 90 percent of the costs came from the medications themselves, loss of productivity, inpatient admissions, and in-home nonmedical care related to these meds.
The number that hit me squarely between the eyes was that, in the United States, the "cost-effectiveness" of all MS disease modifying drugs came out to an average of $800,000 per "quality-adjusted year." That means that we are paying (whether we pay, our insurance pays, or Medicare pays) nearly $2,200 per quality day over 10 years versus those who don't take MS meds.
I made sure to mention "in the United States" in that last paragraph as we pay an average of 67 percent more for our multiple sclerosis disease-modifying drugs than the rest of the industrialized world.
While reading the report, I asked myself whether the researchers took into consideration the way the meds' side-effects can take away from our "quality adjustment." If not, I think we can all agree that the numbers would look even worse!
One other factor was mentioned in the study that is very much worth baring here; these numbers show a much higher cost-effectiveness if MS drugs are started very early in the course of the disease rather than waiting until later stages of MS.
"Starting disease-modifying therapy earlier," says Noyes, "was associated with greater health gains and better overall cost-effectiveness."
I'm still digesting what the results of Noyes' study will mean for me and the way my medical team treats my multiple sclerosis. As many of you know, I'm at the end of my "coasting" period after a full course of Novantrone and am in the process of evaluating "what next" with my doctors. This study will surely be a part of my decision-making process.
We all know that MS meds work better for some than others, that some MS meds work for each of us while others may not, and we know that we really don't know if a drug was working unless we stop and see our disease kick back into pre-therapy mode. This study, however, makes me believe that it's time for the price of MS medications to come down — WAY DOWN — and I think that it's time that we get some regulators involved.
Many MS meds have been on the market for nearly 20 years now. Those first drugs have well been paid for and their investors handsomely rewarded. It's time that we start realizing that. While I'm not diminishing the importance of multiple sclerosis disease-modifying drugs, it is not good for Manyone that we are paying the equivalent of a working-class American's monthly take-home pay for one "good day"!
This will not be the last time that you hear from me on this topic. I've already forwarded the study on to my contact at my congressman's office and I'm not going to stop there! Are you with me?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

PUT ME IN COACH: Silver takes big step
New NBA Commissioner Adam Silver handled his first league-wide scandal Tuesday by giving us an emphatic answer.
Silver suspended Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life from the franchise, as well as, any other NBA-related activities for making racist comments to his girlfriend about the guests she brings to NBA games.
Among the more crude remarks that were recently recorded and released to the national media, Sterling said that he didn't want girlfriend V. Stiviano bringing black people to games and to not "promote" the fact that she "associates" with them.
Silver also fined Sterling $2.5 million dollars – the maximum amount under the NBA?constitution – and, if Silver can get a three-fourths majority in a vote of league owners, Sterling will have to sell the Clippers.
This punishment served as an eye-opener.
As a society, how far have we come since Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers, playing his first game with them on April 15, 1947?
More than 70 years ago sounds like a long time but, seven decades later, the NBA has just two minorities (Michael Jordan of the Charlotte Bobcats and Raj Bhathal of the Sacramento Kings) that have at least partial ownership of a team.
The picture doesn't get much prettier as you look at the other major sports leagues.
In the NFL, only Shahid Khan, owner of the Jaguars and Ozzie Newsome, the general manager of the Baltimore Ravens, are minorities who hold positions above that of head coach.
While nearly 50 percent of NBA coaches are minorities, only four out of the 32 NFL head coaches are minorities.
In MLB, only four managers out of the 30 teams are minorities. Arturo Moreno, the owner of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, is the only minority owner in a sport that is 28 percent Latino.
The evidence is clear as day.
Silver took a tremendous step forward toward a zero-tolerance policy against racism and discrimination in pro sports.
But there is still a long way to go.

University of Colorado women's golfers finish strong at NCAA Tournament
The Colorado women's golf team saved its best round for last on Friday with a final-round 296 at the Vanderbilt Legends Club in suburban Nashville, Tennn.
That represented an improvement of nine strokes from CU's 305 on Thursday.
Colorado, ranked 10th nationally by Golfweek, began the day too far back to challenge for a top-10 finish, however. The Buffs, who entered the final round in 15th place among 24 teams, ended at 44-over-par 1196 with rounds of 297-298-305-296.
Sophomore Alex Stewart, Colorado's top player and ranked nationally in the top 40, rebounded from a 79 on Thursday to post a final round of 1-under 71.
Under the best-four-scores format, Colorado also counted a 74 by senior Emily Talley, 75 by sophomore Jenny Coleman and 76 from senior Jess Wallace on Friday. An 81 by sophomore Kristin Coleman was thrown out.

10-3-09 Great American Ballpark
My first game of the 2009 season was a Pirates vs Reds game at Great American Park. I figured the best way to close the season was by making my final game of the 2009 season a Pirates vs Reds game at Great American Park.
I left my house around 11 AM, and arrived just before 4 PM.
Unfortunately, the gates at Great American don't open until 90 minutes before the first pitch, so I would have to wait around until 5:40 to get in. I was thinking, "I should've gone to Baltimore." (To see the Blue Jays vs Orioles).
I sat outside the center field gate, read the newspaper, checked scored on my phone, and waited for the gates to open. While there, Cincinnati natives tried to engage me in conversations about the NFL and the Steelers, a subject that I didn't really care to talk about at a baseball game. Unlike most Pittsburghers, I'm pretty indifferent when it comes to the Steelers and Penguins.
When the gates finally did open, I ran in and snapped a quick picture.
I had a whole TWENTY FIVE MINUTES of ballhawking. No wonder I
didn't do so well here earlier in the season (eight balls over two
If I hadn't had bought a ticket directly behind the Pirates dugout, I
may have left to get back to Pittsburgh at a decent hour. Plus, 411
isn't a great looking number to me. I wanted to get one more ball.
I walked around the stadium and snapped a few more pictures:
Before the game began, I got Andy LaRoche to toss me his warm up ball, except right before he was about to release it, he pump faked upon seeing a four year old girl with her glove up, two rows behind me. He paused and pointed at the girl and underhanded the ball. The ball floated two feet to my right. I should've reached out and grabbed it, and given it to the girl, but I didnt. I watched it float slowly by and land in the little girl's glove. I started kicking myself for not catching it – it would've been ball #7 of the day.
I would have to try and get a ball by some other means.
I had great seats to do it:
Front row behind the Pirates dugout/camera well.
I was just to the left of where the players entered/exited the Pirates dugout.
It was a perfect spot to get a ball.
In the second inning, Pirates' first baseman Garrett Jones tossed me ball #7 as he came off the field. I was a bit disappointed that he had switched the warm up ball tossed by the coach with the game ball that he was bringing in towards the dugout.
I watched in subsequent innings as he did the same thing.
With the Pirates trailing by a large margin, I left in the 6th inning to make the four and a half hour drive back to Pittsburgh. I got home sometime after 1:30AM.
Was it worth the trip for 25 minutes of batting practice? I'd say so. I ended the season on a positive note, with seven balls, and 412 snagged during the 2009 season.
Coincidentally, 412 is also my telephone area code, which is somewhat cool.
Today's baseballs:
Sweet spots:

Elcometer will highlight its new Elcometer 456 Ultra/Scan probes for use with its 456 range of coating thickness gages. Available with both steel-only and dual steel-and-aluminum options, the probes enable users to take individual readings or to rapidly scan large surface areas without damaging the probe or the coating.
In "scan" mode, users can slide the probe over the entire surface area and , once the probe is lifted off the surface, the gage will display the average coating thickness value together with the highest and lowest thickness values. This is ideal for online inspection. When the probe is placed on the coated substrate in "auto repeat" mode, the gage automatically takes readings until the probe is removed from the substrate, and each individual reading is stored in the memory. This mode can be used to speed up and document the inspection of virtually everything from automobiles to refrigerators.
When used in conjunction with ElcoMaster 2.0 software, readings can be downloaded in real time to a smartphone, tablet device or PC. This free software enables the user to store all inspection readings, including dry film thickness, adhesion, cleanliness, climate, surface profile and more. It also offers in-built report templates and easy access of all data, images and other associated files.
E-coat can produce uniform finishes with excellent coverage and outstanding corrosion resistance.
