Having Fun With Fluency! Part 2 — Strategies Readers Will Enjoy
- Grades: 1–2, 3–5
Last week, we had the opportunity to learn more about the components of fluency instruction in our reading work, as we watched the replay of Teacher Talks Live Webcast Series: Tim Rasinski on Fluency. This week, I'm excited to share a few of my favorite fluency strategies with you. Download printable resources as well as a new bookmark I created, to help keep your students from sounding like robots! We'll build comprehension and teach our students to become fluent readers while we have some fun.
Have Fun With Fluency!
Here are my favorite fluency mini-lessons for you to try with your readers. Begin by telling your students that in order for readers to truly understand what is going on in the stories they are reading independently, they have to become fluent. This means that they need to read smoothly and with feeling or expression. You can even admit that you've heard some of them reading like robots, where --every---word--- is-- read-- all-- by-- itself--and--it--sounds--very-choppy. Believe me, none of them want to admit that they sound like a robot! You'll have everybody's attention. =)
Here is my newest creation - a fluency bookmark. Use it to kick off your series of mini-lessons. Give each student two copies; one for their independent reading at school, the other for home. Laminate them or copy them on card stock paper so they last a bit longer. I hope you'll find the bookmark a useful tool in making your strategies stick.
Photo: Regardless of the unit or subject area, I love to build charts with students and leave them up in the classroom as tools for children to refer back to. I'm also a very visual learner, so I add lots of drawings to my charts as well. Title your chart and list the first strategy you intend to teach that day. Add to the chart as you plan to teach the next strategy.
Use a Storyteller's Voice
As Tim Rasinski suggests, modeling the type of fluency you expect from your students will set up expecations and help them suceed. It gives them a perfect example of what they should sound like. As you read books aloud to your students, stop to point out that you are using a storyteller's voice when the narrator is describing setting, character actions, problem or solution. Make your students aware of something that may be obvious to you (an amazingly fluent reader) but not so obvious to those who are struggling to read smoothly and with feeling. Have them practice sounding like the storyteller in partnerships and small groups. As they listen to each other read, they can give a "thumbs up" if the reader reads with lots of fluency, a "thumbs down" if they need more practice, or (my favorite) a "thumbs in the middle" if they are on their way, but still need a little more practice. They can even evaluate their own fluency. As you listen in on their partnerships or groups, don't be surprised if you hear kids saying, "Hmmm... I think that was a little choppy. I may need to reread that part to sound more like a storyteller."
Add technology to the mix to make this even more fun. Have students record each other using a Flip video camera or use a kid friendly program on your computer, such as Photo Booth to allow students to record themselves. They can watch and listen for parts that are super fluent and rate themselves and each other, just like movie critics do. Have them rerecord parts to make them sound even better. This will encourage them to reread texts. Remind your students that they should always treat each other with respect. It takes a lot for children to record themselves and watch it back. They should be complimented on being such brave readers!
Put Words Together Like Talking
Javier practices putting words together by scooping up groups of words with his hands during independent reading.
We need to show children where phrase boundaries are in order to make them visable to our young readers. That doesn't mean that we are going to mark up every piece of text we expect children to read. It simply means that we have to plan for a few lessons that will illustrate how fluent readers actually do this in their minds. We can teach them how to put words together like talking by showing them how to use their hands to scoop up words in phrases. Again, you want to model this first.
In order to find out which students really needed support with increasing fluency in their independent reading, I looked through the running records of the second grade students I work with every day. From these running records, I did a little research and recorded notes on what these readers were really good at as well as areas they needed help in. I mentioned the use of this research form in a previous post on Helping Students Set Their Reading Goals. I find it to be a very useful tool that I use on a consistent basis.
Choose a book to use that is right around the average of your students' independent reading levels. Cynthia Rylant's, Poppleton in Winter was the perfect fit for me to use with this small group of readers.
Set the purpose of the lesson: Readers put words together to sound like talking. Depending on your grade level, you may need to explain the terms "fluency" and "expression". I tell my students that they should try to read smoothly and with feeling. Not choppy. Not like a robot.
Model how YOU put words together like talking. As I worked with this group of students, I read a line of text from my book and then lifted the sentence out of the book and onto chart paper. I read it and used my hands to show my students how I grouped words together, sort of scooping them up in chunks of two's and three's. Then, I asked the students to try it with me. After scooping up the words, I used a marker to draw looping lines under the words in the sentence to record how we read it like talking. I repeated the same process, each time letting go of the scaffolding more and more. I asked them to show me how they scooped the words without doing it for them first. Then, I had them come up to the chart to demonstrate how they put words together like talking. Here is what our chart looked like after several opportunities to try out the strategy together.
Your students will need time to try out this strategy on their own. Give them a copy of this reading worksheet, or have them use their reading notebook to record sentences that they think they did a really great job of putting words together. Then, using a crayon, have them show you how they grouped words in phrases.
See how Juan David, Pamela and Daniela try out this strategy on their own. Adding an assessment piece is really easy. Just ask your students to tell you what they tried out in reading today. They should be able to say how that strategy is helping them to become better readers!
Change Your Voice To Match The Mood
This is a fun strategy that can be used with your favorite read aloud, poem, shared reading chart or favorite song. (Yes, song!) Songs have lyrics that can be written down on paper and printed out for kids to read. If you want to really get a sense of how your students can capture the mood of written text, watch the talented students of the PS 22 Chorus in Staten Island as they practice signing Tori Amos' song, 1000 Oceans. (Share this with your students as well. It's guaranteed to give you all the chills.) How did these students get this good? There's no doubt in my mind that it has something to do with their incredible music teacher, Mr.Gregg Breinberg as well as lots and lots of practice. Mr. B's love of music is obviously infectious. Your love of reading will be, too.
Aren't they amazing?! I can watch this video over and over again. Their version of Coldplay's, Viva La Vida is pretty awesome, too.
Ok, back to the books.
Rafe Martin's, The Rough Face Girl is one of my favorite touchstone texts. I use it again and again for many purposes in the classroom. The beautiful, dark, mysterious drawings makes it hard to believe that it was illustrated by David Shannon- the talented author and illustrator of,No, David!
Read a bit of the text aloud and model how you match your voice to the mood. Model how you can give evidence from the text to show why you think you found just the right mood for that part. Give students a chance to try this strategy with you, as you read the next chunk of text aloud. I created this Match Your Voice To The Mood Worksheet to help my students track the moods in their leveled books, as well as their evidence. Model the use of this chart with, The Rough Face Girl. You don't have to read the entire book right now. Send the students off to independent reading with the promise that you will finish the book at a later time. And please, keep your promise!
Here's how Mrs. Fernandez's students matched their voices to the moods in their independent books.
Independent reading time gives you the opportunity to conference with your students one-on-one or work in small groups. Here I am, listening in on Dyance's reading to get a sense of what she's doing well as a reader and what she needs help with. I record my research during the conference on a special strategy lesson planning sheet.
Notice Punctuation and Match Your Voice To It
When I hear students reading straight past the punctuation in their books, I feel like giving them some sort of reading ticket! These readers are far from fluent. Many students need to be reminded that when you get to the period at the end of a sentence, you need to stop. When you see a comma, you pause or slow down. When there's an exclamation point at the end of a sentence, read it with excitement. They need to notice how most of the time your voice goes up at the end of a sentence that has a question mark.
Using your white board or chart paper, write a short paragraph that includes a few periods, exclamation points, question marks and commas. Have students read it to themselves and notice what their voices do when they reach each type of puncuation in the text. Then, have them reread the text and place a tally mark on the chart under the type of punctuation they noticed. Just taking note of the punctuation in a simple task like this, will get them to become more aware of the punctuation and less likley to run straight past it!
Now, send them off to independent reading. Mrs. Bayer's class had fun with this activity. We were working on this strategy on Friday afternoon before dismissal, and the kids were upset that we ran out of time and had to stop! I look forward to revisiting the class to continue to work on fluency.
Ivan and Kristen work hard during independent reading!
Download your own Punctuation Chart to give your students a place to record their tally marks and reflect on what they've learned.
Change Your Voice To Sound Like The Characters
You might notice that your readers may start to point out other types of punctuation now that you've made them aware of it. Great! Work on quotation marks next, and ask students to change their voice to sound like the characters. Linking this lesson back to tracking the moods in the story may be helpful. Just switch out moods with character traits and evidence. You may also want to draw attention to certain words in the text that describe the way in which the characters speak.Create a chart as your students find new words that help them change their voices as they read. It may end up looking something like this. . .
. . .and of course, this type of work will fit in nicely with your writing mini-lessons as well.
I hope that you set aside some time to watch the webcast and felt inspired to plan for fluency instruction with your students. There seems to be a whole lot here, but it's just a taste of what you can do to teach fluency in your classroom. What lessons or resources have worked best for your students? We had a two great lesson ideas posted in the comments in last week's post, Having Fun With Fluency! Part I- A Bridge To Comprehension. (Thank you, Jen from Juneau, Alaska!) Please take a moment to share your ideas and helpful tips with us.
Here's to reading with fluency! Remember, robots may be cute, but we don't want our students sounding like them. ;)

Hi Kelly!
You're welcome! Planning for reading work based on the needs of your students is the way to go. Good for you!
As for strategy groups based on the Common Core Standards- the answer is no... not yet. I am involved with creating Common Core Curriculum Maps for writing at the moment, but I can tell you that it has been a slow and steady process. It's a learning experience for all of us. It's nice to know that you are looking ahead for work that aligns to the new standards.
Since there isn't anything out there as of yet, maybe you'll be inspired to create a few templates of your own!?
Best of luck! =) Danielle
Hi Irene! I'm really glad to see that you are keeping up with the shared reading work and just right books. It makes me happy to know that your students have time to practice strategies in texts other than the basal reading program. I'm looking forward to working with your students this week! =) Danielle
Hi Christina! I remember how hard you worked on building fluency with your 5th grade inquiry group last year. It will be interesting to see what you can do with the first graders this year! Keep me posted and let me know how the bookmark works out.
=) Danielle
Thank you for the post. It comes at a perfect time mid-year when I am using recently completed DRA assessments to determine the needs of my readers. Of course, fluency is at the top of list as well as comprehension.
I plan to incorporate more strategy groups this month. Do you have a template that lists teaching points for strategy groups based on the Common Core Standards? I am wondering if anyone has one completed. Thanks again for some great ideas!
This is right up my alley. We've been working on fluency in our shared reading notebooks. Now I can branch out to our JRB's. Thanks for the tips and bookmark of course.
I will be giving the bookmark to my reading groups!!! It is something that we work on almost everyday, especially the punctuation. Thanks for these suggestions. I will also be using the chart for words other than "said." Thanks for sharing!!!

so on the 13th-15th i is organising an amazing group of folk to come and play with the forest all de way from brighton. Some of them are artists, one of them did the black and white design to the left of the crafty room door (for reference) and i noticed on the bookings that this weekend is almost betwixt the crossings of artists.
I was wondering...if them (them being this:2nd-15th Mar Peter Williams (Stephen) TK6 16th-29th Mar TK7) could shuffle back a day each and give us the gallery for that weekend?
It would be marvellous!!! but maybe we should talk about this so you clear as to what may happen, so you have a chance to be inspired into thinkin..."yes! zis is a vonderfull idea!! " Maybe i should come to a meeting.?
The event is called Bright One in the Forest and will be full of amazing folk doing wonderfull things, it would be a shame if they could only connect with a limited forest......
Whaddaya think eh?!?!
peas and respects.x
GO YOU GUYS!!!! [color=#FF8040][/color]

Gordon Tapped, Cammi Heads for US Hall
The Islanders just earlier today named Scott Gordon as their new head coach for the upcoming season. The AHL coach of the year will not return to Providence to defend his coaching title, moving up the ranks for his first big league job. I'm sure Garth Snow is hoping that Gordon will grow with this young Islanders squad, and there's no doubt this team will be going through some growing pains, although Doug Weight was signed to make the transition easier for the kids. The 45-year old Gordon beat out Paul Maurice and Bob Hartley for the job. Reading Snow's» Read more

Welcome to the Memphis Metro Alarms Website. Learn more about us below.
The Memphis and Shelby County Metro Alarm Ordinance/Office's fundamental purpose is to reduce the number of false alarm call responses suffered by local law enforcement agencies each day and night, and through such reduction bring about more efficient and effective response via alarm permit registration/user cooperation.
False alarms over the years have become a plague and in major cities like Memphis/Shelby County an epidemic, with such vast installation occurring in residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, religious, and multi-use complexes about the county.
The Metro Alarm Office aims to work with alarm operators (citizens) to more responsibly use their alarm systems and with alarm companies to more reliably help service systems they sell. The result planned to achieve is more legitimate call responses.

State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) figures show the number of Wisconsin dairy farms with more than 500 cows grew by about 150 percent in the past decade. At the same time, the overall number of dairy farms dropped by about a third, just as they have nationwide. The number of U.S. dairy operations with 2,000 or more cows has grown faster than those of any other size as milk production has increased about 20 percent.

Everyone's been posting their Myers-Briggs "Stress Heads" on Facebook the last few days with comments like "Yup," "Sums it up," and "Nailed it." As an INTJ I'm supposed to get stressed out by things like procrastination, indecision, and not having enough time to change plans. This is all true but there are other more specific things that that make me crazy and stress me out. Here are ten of them:

"True security cannot be funded on the backs of the poor" is quote that resonated with me from Secretary Clinton's remarks at the International Conference of Support for the Central American Security Strategy held in Guatemala City on June 22, 2011. Her statement reflects a broader U.S. call on Central American governments to adopt fiscal policies that will provide resources to improve citizen security without sacrificing social programs.
The conference was a very important statement of political consensus on the part of all the Central American countries, and their main donor partners, on the priority of arresting and reversing the security crisis in the region. Much of that is fueled by gang and cartel inspired violence, for which the people of Central America are paying a huge human and economic price.
Although much of the discussion focused on the need to strengthen security and judicial institutions as a bulwark against insecurity, it was notable to see how much emphasis was also placed on social dimensions of the threat and its proposed solutions. An event on the margins of the conference highlighted the preventive role education can play in overcoming crime and violence and offering opportunities to young women. The day of Secretary Clinton's visit to Guatemala, the U.S. Embassy recognized the determination of Guatemalan women to improve their communities through two programs she has supported over the years: a scholarship for indigenous Guatemalan girls and a On June 22, the embassy organized an event in Guatemala City, where five Mayan women who received scholarships in 1998 and are now emerging leaders in their communities shared with Ambassador McFarland how the scholarships have supported their goals to continue their education and become teachers, businesswomen, and medical professionals. Two participants in a recent Vital Voices political training course told visiting USAID Assistant Administrator Feierstein about their renewed sense of purpose in implementing effective public policies for their communities.
While true security cannot be funded "on the backs of the poor," true security can be supported by all those in society who stand up to play a constructive role in defining the future of their country and who are prepared to make the most of the opportunities available to them. As international efforts move forward in Central America to stem the violence the drug trade fuels, education and its capacity to nourish social responsibility will be one of the defining investments in the future. It will take a village, a country, a region, and a world of leaders, investors, and partners to create a safer and more prosperous environment in Central America.

American Airlines Reports First Second Quarter Profit Since 2007
AMR Corp., parent company of American Airlines, reported a net profit of $220 million for the second quarter of 2013, its first profitable second quarter in six years.
During the same period in 2012, AMR reported a loss of $241 million, mostly due to expenses after it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2011. The airline's profitable second quarter this year is attributable to deep reduction in its operating expenses, including spending for wages which was down 18 percent from 2012 and fuel expenses which were $70 million less than the second quarter of 2012.
The carrier partially attributes its fuel expense improvement to its continued fleet renewal program, and a decrease in the price per gallon of fuel, which dropped 6.8 percent year over year in the second quarter.
"American delivered its best financial performance for a second quarter, excluding special items, in the company's history," said Tom Horton, AMR's chairman, president and CEO.
American expects to complete its pending merger with US Airways during the third quarter. US Airways shareholders recently approved the merger agreement, and the two carriers are now awaiting regulatory approval.

I have found that using baking soda in the sauce reduces this acidity. This does not seem to be used by many (or any) on this forum. Or atleast I can't find it, "baking soda" is a tough search term. Does anyone have a reccommendation on how much baking soda to use per weight of sauce? Last time I used something around 1/4 teaspoon per 24oz in Cento Diced Tomatoes. It worked out well. Also I would be interested on thoughts regarding this.

A signature brew of camaraderie, knockabout humor, excessive quaffing, questionable life choices, hand-to-hand combat, and explosive surprises, The World's End reteams director Edgar Wright with actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, following their hits Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007).
He and director Edgar Wright then co-scripted the feature Shaun of the Dead, in which he starred opposite Spaced alumnus Nick Frost. The zombie tale opened in the #2 spot at the U.K. box office and found success in the U.S. Mr. Pegg was honored with the Peter Sellers Award for Comedy from the Evening Standard British Film Awards. The movie was nominated for two BAFTA Awards, including Outstanding British Film of the Year; and won the British Independent Film Award (BIFA) for Best Screenplay.
After conquering zombies, award ceremonies, and the U.S., Mr. Pegg next co-scripted with director Edgar Wright the übercop action comedy Hot Fuzz, in which he again starred with Nick Frost. The picture opened at #1 atop the U.K. box office and was a hit in the U.S. Mr. Pegg was an Empire Award nominee for Best Actor, and the movie won Best Comedy and was voted Best Comedy at the U.K.'s National Movie Awards.
With Nick Frost, he co-scripted the science-fiction adventure Paul, in which the duo starred under the direction of Greg Mottola, and which was voted Best Comedy at the U.K.'s National Movie Awards. Among Mr. Pegg's other works as screenwriter are Run, Fatboy, Run, in which he starred for director David Schwimmer.
Audiences worldwide have seen him starring alongside Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible III and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, directed by J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird, respectively; and in Mr. Abrams' Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.
His other starring roles on-screen include John Landis' Burke and Hare; Crispian Mills and Chris Hopewell's A Fantastic Fear of Everything; Robert B.

The native of Burton-Upon-Trent has also starred in Christopher Morris' BAFTA Award-winning short film My Wrongs 8245-8249 and 117.
Moviegoers last saw him starring as J.R.R. Tolkien's brave Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which grossed over $1 billion worldwide. His performance brought him the Empire Award for Best Actor. He continues Bilbo's tale in Mr. Jackson's The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, opening in December 2013, and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, to be released in December 2014.
Mr. Freeman recently won a BAFTA Award, and was an Emmy Award nominee, for his portrayal of John Watson in the U.K. television series Sherlock, on which he stars opposite Benedict Cumberbatch. Two seasons of the show have aired thus far, and a third is in production.
Among his other notable television work has been starring as Jim in the celebrated original U.K. series version of The Office, with Ricky Gervais, for which he received BAFTA and British Comedy Award nominations; staring in the series Hardware, for which he won the Golden Rose Award for Best Male Comedy Performance; and Joe Wright's BAFTA Award-winning miniseries The Last King, with his fellow The World's End actor Eddie Marsan.

He was part of the ensemble cast in Richard Curtis' Love Actually, which has become a worldwide film favorite. Moviegoers have also seen him in the lead roles of Garth Jennings' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Jake Paltrow's The Good Night, the latter with his fellow The World's End actor Simon Pegg; Debbie Isitt's improvisational comedies Confetti and Nativity!; Justin Theroux's Dedication; Peter Greenaway's Nightwatching, as the painter Rembrandt, and Anthony Minghella's Breaking and Entering.
Mr. Freeman previously teamed with The World's End director Edgar Wright on Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
He was again a BIFA nominee for his performance in Tyrannosaur, written and directed by his fellow The World's End actor Paddy Considine, opposite Olivia Colman.
Mr. Marsan's numerous other films include Steven Spielberg's War Horse; Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York; Alejandro González Iñárritu's 21 Grams, also for Focus Features, opposite Benicio Del Toro; Terrence Malick's The New World; J.J. Abrams' Mission: Impossible III, with his fellow The World's End actor Simon Pegg; Isabel Coixet's The Secret Life of Words; Neil Burger's The Illusionist; James McTeigue's V for Vendetta; Peter Berg's Hancock, with Will Smith; Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles, as John Houseman; Julian Jarrold's "1974" feature in the Red Riding trilogy; J Blakeson's The Disappearance of Alice Creed, for which he received an Evening Standard British Film Award nomination for Best Actor; Rupert Sanders' blockbuster Snow White and the Huntsman; Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer; and, as Inspector Lestrade, Guy Ritchie's two Sherlock Holmes movies, opposite Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.
The U.K. native worked as a printer before turning to acting. He attended Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, and studied at the Academy of the Science of Acting & Directing (ASAD) under its founder Sam Kogan. His stage work includes starring at The National Theatre, in Roger Michell's production of The Homecoming and Howard Davies' staging of Chips with Everything; and touring in the title role of Richard III, directed by Guy Retallack.
Mr. Marsan's U.K. television work includes Joe Wright's telefilm Bodily Harm and miniseries The Last King, the latter with his fellow The World's End actor Martin Freeman; guest appearances on such series as Criminal Justice and The Bill; and a starring role in the series Get Well Soon. In the summer of 2013, he will be seen starring opposite Liev Schreiber and Jon Voight on the drama series Ray Donovan, premiering on Showtime in the U.S.
Her performance opposite Paul Giamatti in Richard J. Lewis' Barney's Version earned her London Critics Circle Film, Genie, and Satellite Award nominations.

Among her television work, she notably starred in Miranda Bowen's miniseries version of Women in Love.

Everybody Loves Pizza (Pollack & Ruby)
October 03, 2005, 07:27:22 PM »
Just picked up a copy of the new book "Everybody Loves Pizza" by Penny Pollack and Jeff Ruby. Another excellent book with some useful tips and information. While it is mainly a guide, it does include some good recipes. More on the book in the Pizza Books section of the main menu (

I will have to order the Pollack/Ruby book as well as the Tony G. book that was recently reviewed. I will order through the site so that the site gets the kickback from Amazon.com.
I actually spoke with Penny Pollack as she was in the final draft stage of the book. She was referred to me by the importer of the Caputo 00 flour to answer some very basic questions about the use of the 00 flour (it may even have been the Caputo 00 flour) in a home oven setting. After answering her questions about the flour, I tried to steer her to this site to get a really good feel for home pizza making, and maybe a little free publicity. She made it clear that the book would not be getting into any nitty gritty detail on pizza making.

I just finished reading the book
Everybody Loves Pizza
, by Penny Pollack and Jeff Ruby. I was especially interested in the book inasmuch, as I reported in an earlier post, I had spoken with Ms. Pollack as she was putting the finishing touches on her book to discuss some of the challenges in using the Caputo 00 flour in a home setting. At the time, I gave her the URL for our forum and suggested that she visit the forum so that she could get a better insight into the process of making pizzas in the home. In reply, she indicated that she would take a look but that the book was not going to emphasize that facet of pizza making. As I read the book, however, I couldn't help but notice that the book does contain a chapter on making pizzas in the home, along with several recipes.
The book basically attempts to cover all bases--from the early origins of pizza in antiquity to its subsequent evolution from Naples to the U.S., and the adoption and popularization of pizza by the major pizza chains, and the frozen pizza, home delivery, and take-and-bake industry segments. The development of the NY, New Haven, Chicago and California pizza styles are also covered in great detail, along with the individuals and luminaries who were largely responsible for their success. The book also contains several lists, including these: The top ten pizzerias in America, "10 great pizzeria names", a directory of 546 "great American pizzerias", "10 great pizza web sites", and "11 great children's books about pizza". There are also "factoids" and other tidbits about pizza, humorous and otherwise, liberally scattered throughout the book. Unfortunately, there is not a lot to tie everything together. The book struck me more as a disparate collection of topics on pizza, more or less standing on their own without a unifying theme.
I was of course disappointed when I didn't find pizzamaking.com in the list of the "10 great pizza web sites". However, when I got to the chapter that included the recipes and how they might be used, I found this parenthetical statement:
"(And if you need help along the way, don't worry: Check out
, a Web site dedicated to the art and science of pizza making.")
On the next to the last page of the book, I also found "pizzamaking.com" under a section entitled "WEB SITES". So, it appears that Ms. Pollack did take notice of what I told her about our forum, although I suspect she added the forum name as an afterthought just as the book was being readied for publication.
The book as a whole is an easy reading one, and can be finished within a few hours. Of all the chapters, I found the chapters on the historical aspects of pizza, including the key participants, to be the strongest and the one on making pizzas in the home to be the weakest. I may be burdened with knowing too much about making pizza in the home, but I found that chapter to be too brief, superficial and incomplete. I laughed when I read that San Marzano tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella can be found at "any grocery store". And in some cases, as with advice on the use of salt (the authors say Kosher only) and "rapid-rise" yeast (the authors say to avoid it), I found inconsistencies with other parts of the book, especially the chapter with the recipes. The recipes themselves (a total of 13) lean toward the gourmet category and are similar to recipes found in many other pizza cookbooks.
The list of the top ten pizzerias in America was interesting, and although there are some very good pizzerias on the list, I couldn't identify the criteria behind the selections. There were only brief descriptions of the pizzerias and their pizzas. The directory of 546 pizzerias represents a good part of the book in terms of pages--over 40. I am sure that creating such a list was a very difficult and time-consuming task, involving an enormous amount of research and fact checking. I concluded that this directory may well be the best reason to own the book, particularly when traveling around the country and looking for good pizzerias to try out. That is how I plan to use the book.

Per everyone - $230 Million. Will pay Indians $40 Mil per year for next 10 years (STO was netting $30). Plus $25 million from cable TV and the Indians will start each season with $65 Mil in the bank.
Forbes has the Indians ranked 4th in fan value at $64 per fan. Multiply that by last years attendance and you get just over $100 Mil. Obviously your operating costs are gonna eat into that but the Dolan's should clearly see at least 1/3 of that money goes into payroll. which gives us a number that hovers nicely and neatly at $100 Mil that we should have to spend. Considering we are at $65 million right now, we have a nice chunk of money left.
Now go out and sign Bourn. Ya cheap ass basterds. And a pitcher too! Or three! Or prepare for stern words hurled in your direction via the internet.

I've been sampling the new Pu's I got in the mail and have had a couple episodes of REALLY bad indigestion with only a few cups. I actually thought I was having a gall bladder attack the first time. Switched teas and still had issues... Anyone else have this problem? It seems to happen when drinking tea after eating. I haven't had this problems with Oolongs or greens. It really sucks, I love the Puerh but I'm not going to subject myself to that.
Antacids helped, but not much. Out of desperation I tried a couple of shots of bourbon and that ended the GI distress completely! I'm thinking the microorganisms in the tea are the culprit and my sissy Gaijin stomach can't handle them and the alcohol killed them?? I'm going to try drinking Puerh in the morning before I eat to see if that helps, as I'm not ready to give up on this delicious and healthy tea just yet.
Any comments/suggestions?

I cool on a cooling rack for 3 minutes before panning and cutting.I've been using a 720g dough ball. During the last bake, however, I used 790g each for the seven pies I made, this seemed to help somewhat. The stones IR at 650-700 degrees. After the pie cools, either whole or sliced, then reheated, there is a fantastic crunch that is out of this world and it lasts, too, not going soft.
Good Advice, Scott.
Any pics to share PDP ?
No, I got the camera ready but we boxed and rushed out to deliver them hot. Frustrating.

Suhl, Germany to host 2014 IPC Shooting World Championships
Suhl, Germany will stage the 2014 IPC Shooting World Championships, the International Paralympic Committee announced today.
Around 300 athletes from 50 countries will compete in the championships, which will feature 14 individual and 14 team medal events. The event will be staged at the Suhl-Friedberg Shooting Centre from July 17-26, 2014, and will be the first major international championship following the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
The successful bid was submitted by the German National Paralympic Committee and the contract for the event was signed by IPC Chief Executive Officer Xavier Gonzalez and Dr. Karl Quade from NPC Germany during the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games Chef de Mission seminar.
Xavier Gonzalez, the IPC's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted that the 2014 IPC Shooting World Championships will take place in Suhl, at a venue that successfully staged the 2007 IPC Shooting European Championships.
"Following the huge success of London 2012 we are seeing more and more quality bids for our major Championships, and we are very excited about what will take place next year.
"For athletes it is important that they get the opportunity to compete in high level competitions, in addition to the existing World Cups. Between now and Rio 2016 we are trying to build a pathway of events and this announcement is the latest addition to this growing sporting calendar."
Dr. Karl Quade said: "We are delighted about the trust the IPC are putting in us to organise the World Championships.
"We are looking forward to welcoming the world's best athletes to Suhl. Together with the city of Suhl and the state of Thüringen we are confident we will host a successful Championships."
The Suhl-Friedberg Shooting Centre is one of the most modern facilities of its kind in the world and regular plays host to major international competitions.
In 2007 it hosted the IPC Shooting European Championships, an event that attracted 280 athletes from 46 different countries.
Between now and Rio 2016, the IPC is planning to develop a comprehensive competition calendar for the sport. In February, it announced that Alicante, Spain, will host this year's European Championships as well as World Cup events in 2014 and 2015, with the latter event acting as a Paralympic Games qualifier.
Next year's world championships will feature the new finals format agreed earlier this year by the IPC Governing Board together with decimal scoring (in 10m Air Rifle and 50m Prone Rifle events).
Decimal scoring will enable athletes to potentially add an extra 54 points to their overall qualification score and should prevent ties in the future. IPC Shooting has taken the decision to switch systems as part of its close relationship with the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF).
The new finals will see all athletes start from zero rather than carry over their qualification score. The lowest ranking athletes will be eliminated throughout the final until only the final two athletes are left in a "shoot-off" scenario to fight for first and second place.
The last IPC Shooting World Championships took place in July 2010 and were held in Zagreb, Croatia. A total of 246 athletes from 43 countries competed in 31 medal events, including 17 individual and 14 team events.

Renowned restaurateur to speak at Paul Smith's College graduation
PAUL SMITHS – Paul Smith's College alumnus and famed restaurateur Walter J. "Wally" Ganzi Jr. will speak at the college's 66th commencement exercises at 11 a.m. Saturday.
About 320 students are expected to graduate as the Class of 2013. Ganzi will receive an honorary doctor of letters degree at the ceremony.
Ganzi is co-owner and co-chairman of The Palm Restaurants and Palm Restaurant Group, which operate 28 fine-dining establishments across the United States, as well as in Mexico City and London.
Ganzi's grandfather, John, opened the first of the renowned steakhouses in New York City in 1926 with partner Pio Bozzi. The Palm remains owned by the Ganzi and Bozzi families to this day. When Wally Ganzi began at The Palm in the early 1960s, he learned the trade from his father and grandfather.
He has appeared on the CBS reality television show "The Job," interviewing applicants to work at The Palm.
Ganzi has been active in Republican national politics and at one point served as a finance chairman of President George H.W. Bush's campaign.
Ganzi graduated from Paul Smith's in 1963 with a degree in hotel management and remains closely connected to the college. In addition to recruiting top graduates for The Palm, he is the namesake of the Wally Ganzi Jr. Restaurant Training Center on the Paul Smith's campus, which is outfitted with a kitchen equipped to Palm specifications. The 40-seat restaurant gives culinary and hospitality students the opportunity to train in a white-tablecloth environment without leaving campus; it will open to the public on Friday and Saturday evenings from June 28 to Aug. 17.
Ganzi was also the college's commencement speaker in 1990.

intergovernmental agreements and actors
for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East
Atlantic, OSPAR
OSPAR Convention of 1992 replaces the 1972 Oslo Convention
and the 1974 Paris Convention, but Decisions, Recommendations
and all other agreements adopted under those Conventions will
continue to be applicable, unaltered in their legal nature, unless
they are terminated by new measures adopted under the new Convention.
Executive body of the new 1992 OSPAR Convention is the OSPAR
Commission. See OSPAR information on Ministerial meetings,
Contracting Parties, Rules of Procedure, Strategies & Action
Plan (see below), Meetings and Documents, Publications, the Quality
Status Report (see below), etc. At
the 1998 Ministerial Meeting of the OSPAR Commission the Ministers
adopted the Sintra
Statement setting out the political impetus for future action
by the OSPAR Commission with a view to ensuring the protection
of the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic.
Atlantic Fisheries Convention
The Convention was adopted in 1959 and entered into force in 1963.
The objective of the Convention is to ensure the conservation
of the fish stocks and the rational exploitation of the fisheries
of the North-East Atlantic Ocean and adjacent waters. The
origins of the North East Atlantic
Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) lie in the former Permanent Commission,
founded in 1953 and formed under the 1946 Convention for the Regulation
of Meshes of Fishing Nets and the Size Limits of Fish. In the
early 1960s it was considered that the Commission needed a wider
range of powers to regulate for the effects of the technological
advances in fishing methods. In 1963 the North East Atlantic Fisheries
Commission (NEAFC) was formed under the North East Atlantic Fisheries
Convention to succeed the Permanent Commission. In addition to
the powers of the Permanent Commission, NEAFC could also establish
closed fishing areas and seasons, and regulate catch and fishing
for the Conservation of Salmon in the North Atlantic Ocean
The objective of the Convention, adopted in 1982 and in force
in 1983, is to prohibit fishing of salmon beyond areas of fisheries
jurisdiction of coastal state, and also to prohibit fishing of
salmon beyond 12 nautical miles from the baseline from which the
breadth of the territorial sea is measured except within the area
of fisheries jurisdiction of the Faroe Islands and in the West
Greenland area. See also NASCO Council Resolutions.
Convention establishes the North
Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization, NASCO. The objective
of NASCO is to contribute through consultation and cooperation
to the conservation, restoration, enhancement and rational management
of salmon stocks subject to the Convention taking into account
the best scientific evidence available to it. Regional commissions
of NASCO are the North
American Commission, the North-East
Atlantic Commission, and the West
Greenland Commission.
Council for the Exploration of the Sea, ICES
is the oldest intergovernmental organisation in the world concerned
with marine and fisheries science. Since its establishment in
Copenhagen in 1902, ICES has been a leading scientific forum for
the exchange of information and ideas on the sea and its living
resources, and for the promotion and coordination of marine research
by scientists within its member countries. Since the 1970s, a
major area of ICES work as an intergovernmental marine science
organization is to provide information and advice to Member Country
governments and international regulatory commissions (including
OSPAR and the European Commission)
for the protection of the marine environment and for fisheries
Economic Commission for Europe, ECE
The Environment and Human Settlements Division is part of the secretariat
of the UN ECE. It brings together economists, scientists, urban
planners and other experts, and organizes the regular intergovernmental
meetings of the Committee on Environmental Policy, the Executive
Body for the Convention
on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution, the Meeting of the
Parties to the Convention
on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International
Lakes and the Committee on Human Settlements. At these meetings,
government representatives from Europe, North America, Central Asia
and Israel address environmental and human settlements issues, such
as environmental impact assessment, air and water pollution, urban
renewal or land registration.
programmes, strategies and research
of the regional environment
Quality Status Reports, QSR
second version of the OSPAR QSR will be published in December 2000.
Chapter 6 Overall
Assessment is now available online. The final QSR will
also include Regional QSR. Executive summaries of these chapters

Quotes of the day from previous years:
- 2005
- There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. ~ American proverb
- selected by Kalki
- 2006
- I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
~ Langston Hughes ~ (born 1 February 1902)
- selected by Kalki
- 2007
- I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I'm dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.
~ Langston Hughes ~
- proposed by InvisibleSun
- 2008
- Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reason. ~ Edward Coke
- proposed by InvisibleSun
- 2009
- Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
~ Langston Hughes ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2010
- What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
~ Langston Hughes ~

- 2011
- Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
~ Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution ~ (Abraham Lincoln, largely responsible for the passage of this amendment, added his signature of approval to the archival copy of the document on this date, after it had been passed in Congress the day before.)
- proposed by Kalki
- 2012
- When you turn the corner
And you run into yourself
Then you know that you have turned
All the corners that are left.
~ Langston Hughes ~

- 2013
|Any concepts or words which have been formed in the past through the interplay between the world and ourselves are not really sharply defined with respect to their meaning: that is to say, we do not know exactly how far they will help us in finding our way in the world. … It will never be possible by pure reason to arrive at some absolute truth.
|~ Werner Heisenberg ~
- proposed by bystander
- 2014
|Dissidents should be paid 13 months' salary for a year, otherwise our mindless unanimity will bring us to an even more hopeless state of stagnation. It is especially important to encourage unorthodox thinking when the situation is critical: At such moments every new word and fresh thought is more precious than gold. Indeed, people must not be deprived of the right to think their own thoughts.
|~ Boris Yeltsin ~

|I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us.
I would like an abundance of peace.
I would like full vessels of charity.
I would like rich treasures of mercy.
I would like cheerfulness to preside over all.
I would like Jesus to be present.
|~ Brigit of Kildare ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2016
|Every today is at the same time both a cradle and a shroud: a shroud for yesterday, a cradle for tomorrow. Today, yesterday, and tomorrow are equally near to one another, and equally far. … Today is doomed to die — because yesterday died, and because tomorrow will be born. Such is the wise and cruel law. Cruel, because it condemns to eternal dissatisfaction those who already today see the distant peaks of tomorrow; wise, because eternal dissatisfaction is the only pledge of eternal movement forward, eternal creation. He who has found his ideal today is, like Lot's wife, already turned to a pillar of salt, has already sunk into the earth and does not move ahead. The world is kept alive only by heretics: the heretic Christ, the heretic Copernicus, the heretic Tolstoy. Our symbol of faith is heresy: tomorrow is an inevitable heresy of today, which has turned into a pillar of salt, and to yesterday, which has scattered to dust. Today denies yesterday, but is a denial of denial tomorrow. This is the constant dialectic path which in a grandiose parabola sweeps the world into infinity. Yesterday, the thesis; today, the antithesis, and tomorrow, the synthesis.

Liberty sets the mind free, fosters independence and unorthodox thinking and ideas. But it does not offer instant prosperity or happiness and wealth to everyone. This is something that politicians in particular must keep in mind.

Have a fun n outgoing bubbly personality, non smoker , easy to getalong with enjoy's a social drink. Im very clean n tidy (house proud) I work part time as a car detailer n substitute with centerlink payments. Im boarding in Trafalgar with friend but we need own space. I enjoy the outdoors tomboy @ heart.
I'm a 30 year old male and until last year I worked full time at as an IT/AV technician where I worked for 10 years. I am seeking accomodation in Pakenham and the surrounding areas, as well as anywhere from Pakenham to Warragul including surrounding areas. I do not drive so it is essential the house be close to public transport, a train station is ideal but a nearby bus is good too. I will consider other areas if the house is a good match. I am hoping to have meals (just dinner really) included. I also have a 1 year old kitten. Unfortunately throughout the last year things have been a difficult for me. I suffer from an anxiety based mental illness called obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) which I started to really struggle with. Hopefully you won't judge me on that. As a result I ended up resigning from my job earlier this year. I am now coping a lot better now and I am currently working part-time (with almost full-time hours) but am looking for something different. I am a genuinely nice and caring person, I've just been through a lot lately and I'm just trying to get settled again. Unfortunately I have had issues with being screwed over by several housemates in the past, which certainly hasn't helped things. If you think you can help me or if you have any questions or advice at all please feel free to contact me - I have nothing to hide and I am happy to discuss my situation. Shaun
Love good music, cooking, glass of vino & a chat. BUT will pull my head in where neccessary. Can cook, clean, garden Can't take a photo to save myself (Seriously, I'm not as grumpy as in photo !!!) Smoke outside only! I'm trying to quit!

I am a 31 year old single Male, non smoker, social drinker working in the CBD but occasionally travel for work to regional centres in Victoria. I am looking for a place to move to in Early February 2017. Ideally I would be looking for a place on acreage away from the city to share with other people. I currently live in a share house with three other people and two dogs. My pet dog is a Kelpie Border Collie cross, she is three years old and friendly with people and other dogs, also very well behaved. I also coach sport occasionally at my old school in Melbourne and like to play golf when I have time.
I'm 20 years old, love to work hard and play hard. My passions include surfboarding, skateboarding and I'm an avid fishermen. I travel home mostly every weekend to Sale so weekends will be yours to yourself. I'm clean and hygienic, never afraid of a few chores either.
Bit of an odd situation. I have a fully self contained motor home which I need to park and and be able to work on whilst living in a share house, just a long flat driveway or accessible backyard. Once it's liveable I'd probably move into it but stay on the property until September. I'm very clean. Keep to myself most of the time. Though I'm quite happy to make a house feel like a home and be friendly with the people I live with. I am a store manager and all rounder for a small business, have been at the same place for 12 years. Stepped back to part time recently to find a new job! Have a medium sized dog.
Quiet bloke non drinker on disability pension get along with most, keep to myself mostly respect others space clean and tidy love cats. Mechanically minded Looking for a room or unit or house to share with male or female any age group
Great couple friendly and fun

Content single male, that is looking for a place to share closer to my work. I work shift work in Dandenong
Hi guys Im looking for a place to stay for over about 6 month from this march. Cant wait to find nice, cozy, quiet place with lovely flatmates soon! really excited about it. Im generally quiet, tidy, sorta laid back person and yes I smoke. I like to listen to music, hang out with mates, sometimes lie on to bed all day long on dayoff. If there is adorable cat or dog in the house I would be screaming with tears of joy! Haha. Im now planinng to stay au for around 2 yrs or more by working holiday So hope I can find quite place to stay for working, traveling, meeting, discovering the beautiful Australia!
Hi everyone! I'm a 24-year-old high school English and French teacher from Adelaide. I'll be moving to the Gippsland region in January 2017 and will be teaching full-time in Moe for two years. I'm a social person and am looking for a house where housemates are friends, rather than just people who live together. I am a neat, respectful person, I keep common areas clean and tidy, and I always do my dishes! I think living in a sharehouse is great so long as everyone pulls their weight, so I always make sure that I stay organised and on time with bills, rent and other house responsibilities. I have no pets, but I love animals - especially dogs! - so I am more than happy to live with people who do have pets. Most of my family and friends live in Adelaide, so it's likely that I'll return home a lot during the school holidays. I love reading, cooking, and generally having a good time. I've spent 2016 travelling and working in a range of different places and had an amazing adventure. Before that, I did a double degree in Law and Arts, majoring in English Literature, at Adelaide University. I am now working as a teacher through the Teach for Australia program and am super excited because now I get to go to school and talk about books all day for a living! I hope I sound like someone you would like to live with. Hopefully we will get the chance to meet soon! Tilde
I'm a musician, gardener and a great cook, with a good sense of humour. I love animals and art. Lefty politics, I make my own wine and sourdough bread. Pretty neat. Have 2 dogs that would visit one or two times a week but not stay full-time. I'm a community lawyer working for Legal Aid in Morwell. Looking to relocate permanently to the valley in 2018 depending on work. Need a place from the end of Feb but would consider paying rent from before that date for the right place.
Friendly easy going person, happy to socialise but like my own space as well. Work full time hairdresser, love spending time with family and friends, and going on adventures. Non smoker, no pets etc. clean and tidy, respectful of others space and privacy. Probably wouldn't be at the house all that much!
Hi I'm Aaliyah, I'm currently studying full time doing my Diploma of Beauty Therapy so am looking for a stable place to call home until I finish. My study takes place in Pakenham so if not there I'd need a place walking distance to the train station. I'm a very friendly, easy going kind of person. I've worked in motels cleaning for almost 3 years now so I am very clean and tidy. I'm very respectful of others privacy and very much like my own. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or if I fit within your flat mate requirements, thank you 😊 Also please feel free to message me for team ups, preferably all female flat. Thanks

Mike,I dont know if this will help you or not, but this is Burkes Pizza Toppings Portions Guide, for light, medium, or heavy portioning guide. http://info.burkecorp.com/download-free-pizza-toppings-portion-guide/Norma
Norma,Thanks for the link. I downloaded the guide quite some time ago but I find that one to be too generic. What I was looking for, actually, with my initial question was info tailored to the particular style of pizza. I guess you could call it 'insider' info if that makes sense. When you look at the 16" column of that guide it gives you 7oz for a medium application of sauce and 10.5 oz of cheese which stands in contrast to what the guys over at Slice's Foodlab suggest of 2/3 cup sauce to 1/3 cup of cheese. However, those numbers are for a 14" or perhaps 12" pie. But thanks a bunch for your help and input.
