This writing unit is based on a method of writing presented by Robert Gay in his book Writing Through Reading. Although this method was originally designed to be used with high school and college students, I believe that by modifying the reading assignments and writing exercises, this approach can be used with culturallydisadvantaged middle school students in an attempt to improve not only the students' writing but their reading as well.
Writing through reading is simply a unit of methods and exercises in different kinds of rewriting or retelling another person's thoughts. Through the processes of transcribing, translating, paraphrasing, condensing, and imitating, which I will discuss in detail later in this paper, students can learn to reproduce in writing the thoughts of others. Originality of expression rather than originality of thought is emphasized in this writing unit.
Practice in the use of the forms of reproduction mentioned above provides many benefits for students. Reproducing thoughts through these methods requires concentrated attention to reading. If students must record in some form the thoughts read, they must learn to read discriminatively.
An advantage reproducing thoughts has over original composition is that the problem of writing is greatly simplified by providing the students with the ideas about a subject.
Reproducing thoughts has another advantage in that it allows students to measure their own success. The reading material reproduced serves as a model with which students can compare their work. Similar writing submitted by classmates also provides a model with which students can judge their own work. Original writing can really only be judged by the teacher's standards, which may be totally inconsistent with those of the students.
Another advantage of reproducing thoughts is that it forces students to enlarge their vocabularies. If students are to reproduce the thoughts of another, they must strive for accuracy. If their limited vocabularies do not provide the words for expressing another's thoughts, they must find them.
Reproducing thoughts also provides a practical means of attaining competency in writing sentences. Generally, frequent exposure to good writing eventually enables students to distinguish between good writing and bad writing. If students read the sentences of an author who knows how to write them, reread them over and over, preferably aloud, and practice writing sentences following the exact model of those read, they will master the art of writing sentences.
Gay summarizes the advantages of rewriting another person's thoughts as follows:
The intent of this unit is not necessarily to produce great writers. In a classroom setting, I'm not concerned so much with the training of young authors as with the simpler problems of teaching students to write sentences and to acquire a vocabulary. Since good writing is basically a matter of habit and feeling, I hope that this unit will also provide methods of establishing habit and generating taste.
- (a) That students know exactly what they are doing, and have two standards with which to compare their products—the original, and the versions of their classmates.
- (b) That students can write under the eye of their teacher, and are subject to the teacher's suggestion and criticism.
- (c) That students discover that learning to write may be an artistic discipline, conducted not only in accordance with theory, but by practice in the presence of a model.
- (d) That students are compelled to pay attention to the two essential units of style—the word and the sentence; and to these, not—as too often in rhetorical study—because they appear to be important on their own account, but because, to express the thought of the original, they must be "right." Students must extend their vocabulary, refine their diction, and labor over their sentences.
- (e) That, since good writing is largely an affair of feeling,—of the ear,—students unconsciously train their perception of sentencepattern and sentence rhythm.
- (f) That the rewriting of carefully selected passages of prose and poetry imprints upon the minds of students worthy ideas which, merely read, would soon be forgotten.1
What is good reading material? Gay describes good reading material for this unit as "material whose subject matter falls well within the experience or observation, or at least, the apprehension, of a young student." In addition to selecting appropriate material based on the fact that there will be representatives of all reading levels, consideration must be given to the varying interest levels represented in any classroom.
Once these reading and interest levels are known it will be easy to direct students to reading materials needed for their writing exercises. Although many writing exercises will be assigned based on specific readings, there will be some writing exercises in which the students will be given the opportunity to choose the book or passage they will read.
The classroom will be the setting for most of the writing done in this unit, and since this writing unit is based on reading, ample reading material must be on hand in the classroom at all times. There must be something for every student to enjoy. Material for this unit should include readings in new and old literature, realistic and fanciful literature, and prose and poetry. Gay offers a general description of good reading material is offered by Amelia H. Munson in "Book Selection," an article contained in the book edited by Evelyn R. Robinson, entitled Readings About Children's Literature. Munson suggests, "In your whole collection, try to have: Scope, coverage, variety, readability, and attractiveness."3 Excerpts from her description of the features found in good reading material are as follows:
Scope. Start with known interests of young people so as to set up the inviting element of familiarity. Add to this books that will broaden their interests.
Coverage. This follows from the breaking down of fiction and nonfiction barriers and recommends your gathering material on a subject from factual, fictional, biographical, poetic, dramatic, and all other possible fields that add just the angle needed.
Variety. The same subject may appeal to a wide range of readers. Therefore it should be presented in books widely differing in treatment and in vocabulary.
Readability. Sometimes this is a matter of format, sometimes of vocabulary, sometimes of construction. Again, consider your clientele. Readable for whom?
Attractiveness. Look for: clear type, not too small; wide margins; a sufficiently heavy paper to be opaque; and eye catching but not blinding jackets.4
Using these suggestions for selection, it should not be difficult to furnish a classroom with reading material suitable for this writing unit. That being done, writing through reading can begin.
"Writing Through Reading" is a unit designed to be used throughout the school year primarily as independent classwork. Much of my class time is spent in small group instruction. Students are grouped homogeneously, but since classes are usually large, I find it necessary to divide each class into small groups in order to provide more individualized instruction.
After the groups have been established, most of the classwork is done independently. Because most of the writing for this unit is done independently, it is totally suitable to my method of teaching. This unit can be introduced very early in the school year. Writing exercises can be included as part of a students' weekly assignments. It is of prime importance that the routine of writing daily be established as soon as possible.
To introduce writing through reading I would begin with the process of transcribing, which is probably the simplest form of reproduction, since it involves simply reading a passage of prose and copying it on paper. Students would be required to read a different passage every day and write it out verbatim, observing its structure and the relations of its parts, and looking up all strange words in the dictionary. Famous quotations are fun to use for this exercise' and the supply is limitless.
Passages for these exercises would most often be chosen by the students themselves. Each day students would find a different topic on the chalkboard, such as Love, Hatred, Knowledge, Courage, and the like. They would be required to find a quotation under that heading and write it in their writing notebooks. Later the meanings of the quotations can be discussed with the class.
Given this as a daily exercise, students will certainly increase their vocabularies and gain practice in looking for the central thought in a passage. A good alternative to this exercise is one in which students can learn to train the memory and to improve spelling, punctuation, and listening skills. A short passage can be read aloud to students two or more times, and the students can then try to write it out in full. Basically these simple exercises serve to introduce the unit as well as to establish the habit of writing daily.
After a few weeks of transcribing, I would introduce, the process of translation. According to Gay in his chapter on translating he states that translating involves the following three steps: "We must (1) master completely the thought of the original; then (2) set ourselves to writing it down in the English language; and then (3) revise our version with a view to bringing it into close conformity with the thought of the original."5 This process, although a generally used device, is not one on which I would spend a great deal of time. Without eliminating the daily practice of transcribing, I would probably assign exercises in translating as extra credit activities or assign them mainly to my bilingual students. With the use of Spanish/English dictionaries, students would be required to read and translate into English short passages written in Spanish.
To promote interest for the whole class in translating exercises, I may have bilingual students read aloud in Spanish the lyrics of a popular song and ask students to work together writing the translation in English. Enthusiasm for this method of reproduction should grow if students are provided with this sort of readaloud introduction.
I would then proceed to the process of reproduction known as paraphrasing, which is in itself a special form of translation. Gay states, "In translating, it is often necessary to amplify the original, or otherwise to change it, in English, in order that it may be clear. Such free translation is often called paraphrasing. It is sometimes useful, too, to rewrite a passage of English in other words to make its meaning clear."6 If paraphrasing helps to give a clearer meaning to a passage and serves as an aid to comprehension, then it justifies itself a valuable method of writing. Students are forced to read for meaning if they are required to write in their own words what an author is saying in his work.
Gay offers the following methods and applications as the procedure for paraphrasing:
Before assigning independent work in paraphrasing, I would work together with the class paraphrasing several passages using the methods listed above. Passages from the Bible, Shakespeare, Mother Goose, Greek myths, old fairy tales, and folk tales provide excellent reading material for paraphrasing exercises.
- 1. Read the original over slowly again and again, until you are sure you know exactly what it means. Use the dictionary.
- 2. Do not try to find a synonym for each adjective, noun, and verb; on the contrary, do not hesitate to repeat any word if its meaning is clear and simple. If, however, the obscurity is due to unusual words or to figures of speech, try to find common and literal equivalents for these.
- 3. Rephrase the passage entirely.
- 4. Try hard to retain the tone of the original.
- 5. Give the central train of thought.
- 6. Put in nothing that is not expressed or implied in the original, and leave out nothing.7
I would continue next with condensing because its emphasis on finding the main ideas of the original and on writing concisely can be better understood after completing the previous exercises, which stress words. A condensation, as it is defined by Gay, is "a concise abridgment, containing the substance of a full statement; a concise and lucid summary of a longer passage of prose or poetry."8
The educational values of condensing are selfevident since qualities to be aimed at in this writing method are accuracy, completeness, clearness, and brevity. Advantages to this method of writing are that it gives training in reading and writing equally, and by following a simple procedure students can develop this skill rapidly with practice. The procedure Gay suggests is as follows:
In using this procedure, students are to keep in mind that the essential quality of a condensation is clearness; and the test of clearness is that a reader who has not seen the original will understand the meaning of the condensation.
- 1. Read the original over two or three times, until you have a clear idea of its meaning. Think of a title for the whole passage.
- 2. Try to divide the original into sections, and write a heading for each section.
- 3. Decide what is essential and what is unessential in each section.
- 4. Decide what emphasis to give to the thought of each section.
- 5. Write a clear and orderly condensed version, incorporating in it all the essential thought of the original, and adding nothing of your own.
- 6. Revise your version for further condensation.9
As in paraphrasing exercises, I would work together with students before assigning independent exercises in condensing. Once I felt the students had a clear understanding of the process, I might begin by reading a newspaper account omitting the lead, and have students furnish the summary of the news story. Simple exercises such as those would be followed by exercises involving longer passages to be condensed. By the end of the school year, I would hope that most students could competently review a book of their choice.
As reading material for exercises in condensing, I would probably choose passages from newspapers, famous speeches, debates, essays, narrative poems, plays and books.
In transcribing, translating, paraphrasing, and condensing, the students should be striving to train their perception of sentence structure, pattern and rhythm; and, in doing so, they may unconsciously achieve fluency of expression. Many of my students have difficulty expressing themselves both in writing and in speaking. Since I believe there is a need for a common knowledge among people, I strive for a standard dialect of English in my classroom. Arnold B. Cherney states in Teaching Culturally Disadvantaged in the Elementary Schools, "I do
not view dialect instruction as an invasion of a person's linguistic privacy but an attempt to provide him with another tool with which to fashion a fuller life. The degree to which the culturally disadvantaged approximate the standard dialect of society in general will be the determiner of their integration into this same society."10 I agree with this theory.
One method of acquiring a standard dialect is through unconscious imitation. Exposure to good writing through the method of imitating offers a perfectly definite standard for comparison and emulation. I present this process of reproducing thoughts last, because I feel it is the most difficult method of writing through reading. It is the method of writing which most closely resembles creative writing. By imitating, students experience many styles of writing, and as their personality and originality develop, their own style will emerge.
In his chapter on imitation and emulation, Gay provides two procedures to be followed. One procedure is to be used for imitating prose, the other for imitating poetry.
The mode of procedure for prose is as follows:
Again, illustration will help students to understand the actual procedure. In addition to being difficult, imitating exercises are usually not completed in one lesson. For this reason motivation is very important. Reading material consisting of good prose and poetry provides some of the motivation for these exercises. In addition an atmosphere that encourages interest and pride in selfexpression will help.
- 1. Select a passage within your knowledge or experience.
- 2. Read the passage over and over.
- 3. Jot down a hint of the thought of each sentence.
- 4. After each hint, record the number of words in the original sentence.
- 5. A day later expand your hints to about the length of the original sentences.
- 6. Compare your version in detail with the original.11
I would offer the same suggestions for imitating poetry, although the procedure for this process is somewhat different. Gay suggests that after careful study of the model:
As I have mentioned earlier, illustration helps. This method of writing should be saved for the latter part of the school year after the students have had practice in reproducing thoughts for several months and writing has become routine.
- 1. Think out in a general way what you wish to say.
- 2. Try to think of your verse in groups, not singly.
- 3. Before you write down a verse try to make it conform to the rhythm of the original.
- 4. Having made two or more lines conform to the rhythm, write them down.
- 5. As an ideal, try to conform to the natural order of prose.12
In conclusion, I will say that in researching this paper I have collected a wealth of useful information on the teaching of writing. Selecting "Writing Through Reading" as an approach to discuss over the many others available does not mean that I think it is the best approach to the teaching of writing. I was looking for a writing unit that would supplement other kinds of writing in the classroom and would offer daily practice in writing. Considering the needs of my students and believing in the distinct advantages of this unit, exercises in transcribing, translating, paraphrasing, condensing, and imitating, sensibly conducted, serve those purposes.
Mother Goose Rhymes
- 1. Every day students will be required to find and copy verbatim a famous quotation. When students meet for small group instruction, check the entry in their writing notebooks and discuss the students' interpretations of the quotations.
- 2. As a group exercise a short passage is read aloud two or three times. Students will then try to write it out in full. Some passages to use for this exercise are as follows:
Birds of a feather flock together,
And so will pigs and swine;
Rats and mice will have their choice,
And so will I have mine.
See a pin and pick it up;
All the day you'll have good luck;
See a pin and let it lie,
Sure you'll want before you die.
I've seen you where you never were,
And where you'll never be,
And yet you in that very same place,
May still be seen by me.
For every evil under the sun,
There is a remedy, or there is none
If there be one, try and find it;
If there be none, never mind it.

- 1. Simple passages from a level one Spanish book provide suitable material for exercises in translating. Using a Spanish/English dictionary, students are required to translate short paragraphs or poems from Spanish into English. It might be helpful to give hints. Examples are as follows:
tiendas del centro porque tengo que
comprar fruta y mantequilla pare
la cena. Hay que comprar fruta en
la fruteria y mantequilla en la
lecheria. Comemos a las nueve.
Hint: This paragraph describes the eating and
shopping customs in a SpanishAmerican country.
By Georgio Castaneda Aragon13
Cielo azul
sin una nube.
Mar azul
Solo la espuma
sobre la arena
Hint: A poem to learn about the sea.
- 2. As a whole class activity using Spanish/English dictionaries, have one of the Spanishspeaking students write the first stanza of a popular song on the chalkboard. Have the student read it over a few times aloud, trying to accentuate the rhythm of the song. Translate it word by word together with the class.
- 1. Students will be required to (a) paraphrase the following: and (b) give the situation and the subject, as clearly as they can in a few words:
The world has never had a good definition of the word "liberty", and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word, we do not all mean the same thing. With some, the word "liberty" may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name,—liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names,—liberty and tyranny.

"I, Too, Sing America"
- 2. Students are asked to write out their understanding of two short poems. Some examples are:
By Langston Hughes14
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh
And eat well,
And grow strong.
I'll sit at the table
When company comes.
Nobody' ll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed
I, too, am America.
"Take Something Like a Star"
By Robert Frost15
O Star (the fairest one in sight),
Say something to us we can learn
By heart and when alone repeat.
Say something! And it says, "I burn."
But say with what degree of heat.
Talk Fahrenheit, talk Centigrade.
Use language we can comprehend.
Tell us what elements you blend.
I gives us strangely little aid,
But does tell something in the end.
And steadfast as Keats' Eremite,
Not even stooping from its sphere,
It asks a little of us here.
It asks of us a certain height,
So when at times the mob is swayed
To carry praise or blame too far,
We may take something like a star
- 1. Using the method of condensing described in the unit, condense the following passage:
In the early days of Massachusetts, there was a time when good sense and justice seemed to be set aside. Innocent people lost their lives because of group hysteria.
It began in 1692 in Salem Village. This wasn't the famous town of Salem, but a small village not far from it. The name of the village was later changed to Danvers.
A group of young girls used to spend time with a slave named Tituba, who came from the West Indies. The girls were all under 20 years of age. Tituba told them about magic and fortunetelling. The girls also read books about witches. These were evil things to the people of Massachusetts in those days. They believed that witches did the work of the devil.
Two of the girls became sick. They began to have fits. They said they were under witches' spells. They said that the witches were Tituba and two unpopular women of the village. Then other girls accused other people of witchcraft. The suspected witches were put on trial. Some people confessed and accused others, so they would not be hanged. Others were executed by hanging.
The search for witches spread to other towns. Over 200 people were arrested. Twenty people were put to death. Many who spoke out against the trials were accused of witchcraft themselves and were arrested.
People finally could tolerate the situation no longer. They still believed in witches. But they thought people should not be hanged because of the kind of evidence that was given. The evidence, they thought, might be fake. And some of the people who were accused and executed seemed like good, honest people.
The governor of Massachusetts ordered the trials stopped. The accused witches were set free. The dark days of the witch hunt were over.
From Scholastic Real World English:
Writing -3
- 2. Write three leads for "news stories" suggested by incidents in history.
- 3. Write leads for three tales from Grimm or Andersen.
- 4. Write a condensed version of the plot of one of the stories mentioned above.
- 1. Using the following passage as a model, students will be asked to write about a heavenly place for a girl keeping in mind the mountain of examples which are provided in the example to prove that Uncle John's farm was indeed "a heavenly place for a boy."
It was a heavenly place for a boy, that farm of my Uncle John's. The house was a double log one, with a spacious floor (roofed in) connecting it with the kitchen. In the summer the table was set in the middle of that shady and breezy floor, and the sumptuous meals—well, it makes me cry to think of them. Fried chicken, roast pig; wild and tame turkeys, ducks and geese; venison just killed; squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, partridges, prairiechickens; biscuits, hot batter cakes, hot buckwheat cakes, hot "wheat bread," hot rolls, hot corn pone; fresh corn boiled on the ear, succotash, butterbeans, string beans, tomatoes, peas, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes; buttermilk, sweet milk, "crabber"; watermelons, muskmelons, cantaloupes—all fresh from the garden; apple pie, peach pie, pumpkin pie, apple dumplings, peach cobbler—I can't remember the rest. The way that things were cooked was perhaps the main splendor—particularly a certain few of the dishes. For instance, the corn bread, the hot biscuits and wheat bread, and the fried chicken. These things have never been properly cooked in the North—in fact, no one there is able to learn the art, so far as my experience goes. The North thinks it knows how to make corn bread, but this is mere superstition. Perhaps no bread in the world is quite so good as Southern corn bread, and perhaps no bread in the world is quite so bad as the Northern imitation of it.
_ Mark Twain
- 2. Using a poem of their choice, students will be asked to write a few stanzas in the same meter and tone. Light verse concerning an amusing idea expressed in an offhand manner provides the best model. Examples are as follows:
By Paul Laurence Dunbar 16
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free; I
Its not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings!
By Langston Hughes 17
I play it cool
And dig all jive.
That's the reason
I stay alive.
My motto,
As I live and learn
"Dig and Be Dug
In Return."
Each of the selections for the assignments has been chosen for its ideas, its interests, and its availability. Often the same selection can be used for two or more assignments. I think it is more interesting, however, to vary the reading material.
As was stated earlier, the selection of appropriate reading material is essential to the success of this unit. Knowing your students is the key to selecting appropriate material. Contained in the list of material for classroom use and in the reading list for students is reading material covering a wide range of interest and reading levels.

Clean Men Cut
With A nicely trimmed and highlighted hairstyle as this one by L'Oreal is a dynamic interpretation of good looks and good taste. The hair on the side exhibits symmetry with very little a material. It is clean shaven and shaped to go with the neatly swept fringe with light brown highlights, which make the promising volume shine above the thin dark brown locks.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice, clean apartment with very convenient location.
Retrieving the key was smooth and the wifi worked right away.
The cases we could leave it there. On the day of departure
Cons: get very small bathroom (five people), hard warm the staircase is small, dirty and there is no elevator.
Mooi, schoon appartement met zeer gunstige ligging.
Het ophalen van de sleutel verliep soepel en de wifi werkte meteen.
De koffers konden we op de dag van vertrek daar laten staan.
Nadelen: erg kleine badkamer (met vijf personen), moeilijk warm te krijgen, het trappenhuis is klein, vies en er is geen lift.
Pros: Very nice apartment, quite new, nice view and good location. Food not too fitted, but ok.
Cons: Not too clean and carefully (!!) 3 beds are queen size and 1 single bed!! The sofas that you see in the picture are all sofa beds, but the sheets are only available for a sofa bed, I think that it is enough to ask of extra sheets Agency
Pro: Appartamento molto carino, abbastanza nuovo, bella vista e buona posizione. Cucina non troppo attrezzata, ma ok.
Cons: Non troppo pulito e attenzione (!!!!) 3 letti sono da una piazza e mezzo e solo 1 matrimoniale!!!! I divani che si vedono in foto sono tutti divani letto, ma le lenzuola a disposizione sono solo per un divano letto, credo che basti chiedere delle lenzuola extra all'agenzia
I recommend this apartment very well located in Manhattan. It is spacious, we were 7 people. The description is consistent with reality. No worries to retrieve the keys, wifi works ... Small least one bathroom for 4 bedrooms this is too little and 2 rooms have a view of the tiny courtyard not very clean. Otherwise pleasant stay ....
Je conseille cet appartement très bien situé dans Manhattan. Il est spacieux, nous étions 7 personnes. La description est conforme à la réalité. Aucun soucis pour récupérer les clefs, le wifi fonctionne ... Les petits moins, 1 salle de bain pour 4 chambres c'est trop peu et 2 des chambres ont une vue sur la minuscule cour intérieur pas très propre. Sinon agréable séjour ....
Had a great stay in this apt. Everything went smooth, picking up the keys and finding the apt. It was clean and has everything you possibly need. Don't forget to take earplugs :) It's on the second floor, so you're right in the middle of all the sounds from the city. Been here with 4 adults and it's big enough. Location was great, subway just 3 blocks down, grocerystore around the corner... Would stay here again
Hey. We were 2 families who traveled to New York and had a fantastic holiday. New York was so exciting and wonderful as we had hoped for. We stayed very central and the apartment was very rude. We cooked some food even in the apartment and it could have been better equipped. The water in the shower went from freezing to very hot. Went smoothly and retrieve the key that was 12 streets away from where we lived. Otherwise we had no contact with the host except some messages before departure. We missed probably a little more information from the host regarding the apartment, but overall the stay was great.
Hei. Vi var 2 familier som reiste sammen til New York og hadde en fantastisk ferie. New York var så spennende og fantastisk som vi hadde håpet på. Vi bodde veldig sentralt og leiligheten var helt grei. Vi lagde en del mat selv i leiligheten og den kunne ha vært noe bedre utrustet. Vannet i dusjen gikk fra iskaldt til veldig varmt. Gikk greit og hente nøkkelen som lå 12 gater unna der vi bodde. Ellers hadde vi ingen kontakt med verten bortsett fra noen meldinger før avreise. Vi savnet nok litt mer informasjon fra verten ang. leiligheten , men totalt var oppholdet topp.
an extremely negative opinion ... 1 - when we retrieve the keys in another place (not very practical), gave us the wrong address! 2 - we found the apartment in a mess (dishes not made, room terrible bath). A maid has finally arrived in the late afternoon. We actually recovered the apartment to 20h. Iimpossible to sleep at night so there was noise in the street (no insulation) 4 - the best: two huge bins were stationed near our door, what a welcome! We used to travel but we have never experienced such a "disappointment."
un avis extrêmement négatif... 1- lorsque nous avons récupère les clefs dans un autre endroit ( pas très pratique), nous a communiqué une mauvaise adresse! 2- on a trouvé l'appartement dans un état lamentable ( vaisselle pas faite, salle de bain épouvantable). Une femme de ménage est enfin arrivée en fin d'après midi. Nous avons en fait récupéré l'appartement vers 20h. Iimpossible de dormir la nuit tellement il y avait de bruits dans la rue ( aucune isolation) 4- le must: 2 énormes poubelles étaient postées près de notre porte: quel accueil! Nous avons l'habitude de voyager mais jamais nous n'avons connu une telle "déconvenue".
The apartment was clean and neat, but more suitable for 4 people. There is no trust and bord.Det is fine with kitchen, but there is a place to sit. The location is central and there is much traffic noise.
Lejligheden var ren og pæn, men mere passende for 4 personer. Der mangler stole og bord.Det er fint med køkken, men der mangler et sted at sidde. Beliggenheden er central, og der er meget trafikstøj.
Apartment was clean and fine and location. We stayed there with 5 people. Bedrooms fine, just kitchen (with minimal counter space and without tables) and bathroom very small!
Appartement was schoon en prima qua ligging. Wij verbleven er met 5 personen.
Slaapkamers prima, alleen keuken(met minimale aanrechtruimte en zonder tafel ) en badkamer wel erg klein!
I would like to have 2 sets of towels for 1 week !
The amended accommodation was good and had a good stay, we did have problems with the noise what is our sleep has cost, we suspect that we ourselves are lured because of this problem, to another location or we played again this choice will make remains to be seen.
De gewijzigde accomodatie was goed en hebben een goed verblijf gehad, we hebben wel problemen gehad met de lawaai wat wel onze nachtrust heeft gekost, wij vermoeden zelf dat wij naar een andere locatie zijn gelokt vanwege dit probleem, of wij de volgende keer weer deze keuze zullen maken is nog te bezien.

It'll keep for a lonf time.
This has not been my experience. I get from 3 days to a week until cut cake yeast starts growing things.If you let it sit around (in a supermarket or your fridge) or freeze it, the advantage will be lost.
None at our grocery store or Whole Foods..
I FINALLY found a pound of Fleischmann's cake yeast at Restaurant Depot today. $1.38 for a 1 lb block of it.Going to make french bread and some pizza dough with it this week! Woohoo!

David Akers (1975/88): The 1909-S is a common issue in anything less than gem condition. Several rather large hoards of Uncirculated examples have been uncovered, including several thousand pieces in Central America in 1983. Gem quality coins are very scarce but certainly not rare, and I have seen quite a few that graded a full MS-65 over the years. There are also a few exceptional quality examples of this issue known that are distinctly better than MS-65. The MS-65+ to MS-67 Eliasberg coin comes first to mind, and I have seen others. Overall, I find this issue to be somewhat more elusive in high grade than any of the other early San Francisco Mint issues except the 1908-S and 1913-S.
Most 1909-S double eagles are very sharply struck and have "soft" frosty surfaces and some granularity. A few are rather satiny, but I have never seen one with the super satiny finish that is present on some specimens of the 1908-S. Lustre is good to very good but seldom really exceptional. Color, however, is a strong point with most specimens having very appealing greenish gold to light rose or orange color. Many specimens have distinctly "rounded" rims.

Hey guys,
I have a question that I hope someone has the answer to. Is anyone having trouble with their Lyric's volume? I'm plugging the Lyric in the Venue Di and the volume is very low even with the Venue Di set to max volume and near max gain. The board tells me that it is nearly clipping, but through my headphones the sound is barely noticeable.
Any advice on this?

Lizards Spoil Rattlers' Return to Rochester
from press release
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Attackman Matt Danowski scored three goals, including two in the first quarter, as the Long Island Lizards (1-1) jumped out to a commanding 6-0 lead and never looked back en route to their first win of the season, a 13-9 victory over the Rochester Rattlers (0-2) in the Rattlers' home opener at Sahlen's Stadium on Saturday night.
Led by two goals from Danowski, the Lizards scored six straight points in the first quarter. Midfielder Stephen Berger added a goal with an assist while midfielder Chris Fiore had a two-point goal.
Just 53 seconds into the second quarter, attackman Ned Crotty ended the Lizards' run by scoring off a feed from Greg Niewieroski, which started a three-goal run by the Rattlers to close the gap to 6-3 with 7:58 left in the second quarter.
But, midfielder Chris Unterstein gave Long Island a 7-3 lead at the intermission by scoring off a feed from Fiore with 3:16 left in the period.
After the teams traded goals twice to start the second half, the Lizards used goals from attackman Tim Goettelmann and midfielder Greg Gurenlian in a nine-second span to expand their advantage to 11-5 at the end of the third quarter.
The Rattlers narrowed the margin to 11-7 in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter on goals from attackmen Martin Cahill and Brett Garber. But, Unterstein and attackman Keith Cromwell sealed the victory by scoring back-to-back goals for a 13-7 advantage with 3:48 left.
Rochester trimmed the margin to 13-9 on goals by Crotty and Niewieroski, but the Rattlers did not get any closer.
Danowski was named as the Bud Light MVP after posting a season-high five points while Berger contributed two goals with an assist. Goalkeeper Drew Adams made 12 saves in the victory for Long Island, which outshot Rochester by a 45-35 margin.
Cahill scored four goals in a losing effort for the Rattlers while Crotty contributed two goals with an assist. Goalkeeper Mike Gabel made 18 saves in a losing effort.

Welcome Home: The Children of Vietnam Vets Too
In the years I have worked as a writer many stories have moved me deeply. However, one I covered this weekend for The Democrat and Chronicle will stay with my forever.
It is the story of a Vietnam veteran named Jim Lachman, of Brockport, and his amazing wife Bernie.
In brief, it detailed a beautiful surprise that Bernie orchestrated for Jim on Saturday when he returned to Rochester after three months in Vietnam.
This time, Jim, who is a 64 year old college student at the College at Brockport was in Vietnam as part of the school's Brockport Vietnam Program. Bernie arranged for his homecoming from studying abroad to be everything it WAS NOT in 1969.
In 1969 Jim, like most soliders, returned home from Vietnam to an unwelcome country. Veterans I spoke to for the article – some of whom did not want to be quoted even forty years later – remembered being spit on, sworn at, and called horrible names.
As I was researching this article I mentioned it to my boyfriend Eric – who, like Jim Lachman, was a Marine.
Eric told me about his late father – a Vietnam veteran – who returned home from war and was spit on at the airport by a woman. His father rarely talked about Vietnam and died two years ago in part from the effects of Agent Orange (a carcinogen sprayed on the dense jungles of Vietnam by the United States military)
Eric came to the airport with about 75 other people to welcome Jim Lachman home the proper way.
After Jim was greeted with cheers, welcome-homes, balloons, flags and banners I noticed he and Eric connect. I was busy working, but could see them shake hands and then talk for several minutes.
Both Marines looked emotional.
It was good.
Afterwards Eric told me Jim reminded him of his Dad and that in a way it was like giving his Dad the welcome home he never experienced. That was Bernie's goal in organizing the event, not just to give Jim a proper welcome home, but all Vietnam veterans who attended and the children of Vietnam veterans representing their parents.
Just 1/3 of all Vietnam veterans are still alive (SHOCKING isn't it?!)
That means there are a lot of grown children like Eric whose fathers served in Vietnam and are now gone. I'm glad Jim had the opportunity to experience a proper welcome home from war and I'm so glad Eric got to witness it.
The evening of the homecoming Eric decided to go through some of his fathers things – boxes of military models that had not been touched in years.
His father had packed up the boxes and left them for Eric before he died. Eric had never opened them. I don't think it's coincidence he opened them the night of Jim's Vietnam Homecoming.
In the boxes Eric was shocked to find not only models, but handwritten letters his Dad had written to him. Unread.
He read them.
We should all learn from this story.
Don't be afraid to open boxes. Don't be afraid to re-do the past. You never know what you may find buried.
It's not always bad.

I love the stamps. When my students come to see me and show off their work, I allow them to help stamp their work instead of me doing it for them. It's great fine motor practice and they get SO excited to get to use the grown up supplies. It's great to help them celebrate their accomplishments in such a fun way.

I received this product as a free promotion for teachers. The stamp designs are cute, but the ink is not very damp and doesn't stamp brightly.

My children love using these stamps to self-assess their school work in our homeschool setting. My only complaint is that the included ink pad is very difficult to open and makes it impossible to not get ink on your hands when opening it.

Good substitute for baking, but...
Posted by Reviewer3100533 on Apr 09, 2012
...not very good as substitute for sweetener to coffee and teas. It significantly changes the taste of the hot beverage. I'll have to look for another natural sugar substitute for my drinks :(
OK but not my favourite
Posted by 4670735421829090863 on Sep 29, 2013
This brand has a strange taste that I do not like, ordered other brands here at iherb and they are much better.
Very tasty but it arrived open
Posted by SoleVeg on Oct 13, 2015
I liked the taste, but less than half of it was still in the bag when it arrived, as it was open and had spilled inside the box and made a mess when I opened the package. Maybe iHerb should consider shipping this item in bubble wrapping and in larger boxes where it isn't being squished by the other products.
Not as sweet as it claims
Posted by Reviewer2861363 on Mar 17, 2012
This sugar claims to be as sweet as regular sugar, but this wasn't true, at least not for my tastebuds. But hey, I don't always need things to be sweet either, so it's all in all a good product. And it was nothing wrong with the product, so I can recommend it if you're looking for a healthier sugar replacement that isn't too sweet.
Good sugar substitute

Would order again, works well in my recipes,taste is pleasant
Not yt

Not so sure about the taste
Posted by Caveman on Oct 04, 2013
I liked this product in theory, but the taste was like caramellized sugar, I was left to wonder did they dry it in high temperature... I'll look for an alternative, but might buy this again.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Learning to recognize whether or not your baby is constipated is a common challenge for new parents. But
for young children, especially breastfed babies,
constipation is rare. Some babies have several bowel movements
a day while others will go a few days between bowel
movements. Knowing your baby's pattern of bowel
movements can help to diagnose possible constipation.
Though stools vary in color, if your baby seems to be passing
hard, painful stools, small pebble-like stools or if you notice a streak of
blood in the stool, he or she is more than likely
constipated. Don't be alarmed if there is a tinge of blood
in the stool, this is caused from straining the rectum,
causing a small tear (also called an anal fissure). You
should however, always mention blood in your baby's stool
to your pediatrician, just to rule out any other serious health
So what causes such discomfort for our children? There are
a number of factors that contribute to a child becoming
constipated. The most common is a diet high in milk products
and low in fiber. Your baby's stool is stored in the large
intestines and colon. The intestines and colon break down
waste and absorb water, making a bowel movement firm.
Dehydration and dietary changes such as
switching your baby to whole milk or solid food can make
constipation more prevalent.
To relieve constipation in babies younger than four months of age, you could give fruit juice (such as apple, pear, white grape, or prune) diluted
with water. The mixture should be one part juice to two parts
water. Give a call to your pediatrician and ask what they
recommend to relieve constipation. A warm bath can also be
a very relaxing and soothing experience for a baby with
abdominal cramping.
If your baby is eating solid food, adding foods higher in
fiber like apricots, peas, raisins, beans, spinach, prunes
or whole grain cereals can help to relieve constipation. Your doctor may also recommend changing to a soy baby formula if they feel regular
formula is the problem. If changes in your baby's diet don't
appear to bring relief for your baby, call your pediatrician.
The doctor may advise using glycerin suppositories or a
stool softener, but these should only be used with your
pediatrician's approval.

Summer Challenge: Brights Day Two
July 30, 2013 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, Helmar Adhesives, May Arts Ribbon, Queen & Co., Uncategorized
We are here with our Summer Brights Challenge!
Every month we challenge our designers to try new things. It might be a collection pack, techniques…something different just to get those creative juices flowing. So for July, we challenged our designers to use the Brights Collection pack and to do some fussy cutting for some added interest.
The Brights collection pack is the PERFECT color palette for all your summer layouts and projects! Don't be afraid of those bright colors..embrace them!
First up we have Designer Shaunte Wadley. She created a card trio for us today using Brights, David Tutera Celebrate Cardmaking system, Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions, Core Couture, & Vintage Cardstock.
Here is a shot of some of the Core Couture glitter cardstock. SWOOOOOOOOON! Dies are from Lifestyle Crafts.
And I love how Designer Vivian Keh used the purples in this layout. The possiblities are endless with what you can do with a bright color palette. Add a op of yellow and that gorgeous fussy cutting of her stamps and you have the perfect layout!
And nothing is cuter than a swimming doggie 🙂 Blues and yellows are the perfect summer colors!
Don't want to stamp on the textured side? Flip it over!
And Suzanna Lee created a layout focusing on the primary colors found in the Brights Collection pack. And, not to mention, this yogurt place is awesome! You pick your own ice cream and toppings and then they weigh it for you. You gotta be careful though….it adds up! LOL! Tone on tone embossing and die cuts with jsut the perfect touch of sanding. LOVE IT!

County takes back bid award
FAIRMONT – An attempt by Martin County commissioners to keep business local has resulted in the board having to pull an award for law enforcement center remodeling.
On Jan. 2, the board awarded a $94,900 contract to United Builders of Blue Earth, with an eight-week timeline for the project. However, another company, JS Cates Construction of Hamel, had bid the job for $900 less, with the same projected timeline.
JS?Cates complained about not being awarded the job. State law requires counties to award jobs to the lowest responsible bidder.
Martin County Attorney Terry Viesselman informed the board that going with a local company instead of the lowest bidder is viewed as favoritism.
"It's a shame that we can't keep it local," said Commissioner Dan Schmidtke. "It's kind of a dumb law."
"We don't have much of a choice," noted Commissioner Steve Flohrs.
The board unanimously rescinded the award to United Builders and instead gave the job to JS Cates Construction.
In other business Tuesday, commissioners:
o Approved an increase in the County Attorney's budget for salary adjustments for assistant county attorneys Peter Odgren and Mike Trushenski. The county reviewed salaries of assistant county attorneys with other benchmark and comparable counties, and determined the local salaries to be below the benchmarks.
Odgren, who has been working with the county attorney's office for two years, will see a salary increase to $55,000. Trushenski has been an assistant county attorney for 14 years and will see a salary increase to $67,215.
o Approved out-of-state travel requests for county veteran service officer Doug Landsteiner for conferences to be held in Washington, D.C., in February and a training conference in Reno, Nev., in June.
A portion of the Washington trip is covered by the state and local Disabled American Veterans chapters, while the county will only need to cover mileage to the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport and airfare in excess of $300. The training in Reno, Nev., is expected to cost $1,542.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (282 votes).
In short: Very good - 4th time in Norwich & pleased there were no gales this year!In full: I'm on old charity runner for Astro Brain Tumour Fund who has been back for the City of Norwich 4 times now. It's not too challenging as long as the winds don't blow and this year, the weather was very good for running. The atmosphere was fine and the organisation excellent. After I moaned a little about access to the Showground from Premier Inn last year, I had an e-mail this year just days before the race telling me the best route to the start line. What outstanding organisation and thoughtfulness by the organiser. Fantastic!Date of review: December 8, 2013
In short: A very well organised Half MarathonIn full: A very well organised Half Marathon which is staged with the help of over 200 volunteers. This year was my 6th Norwich Half marathon on the spin and my fastest ever half marathon (knocking 4 minutes off a pervious PB). Firstly the entry price for this half marathon is very reasonable compared to other races across the country. Good facilities, clean toilets, shower, car parking, refreshments for spectators, pre and after race massage available. The route follows a two lap course through rural countryside just outside of Norwich (traffic free). The route is mainly flat with a 2 plus mile downhill section, which being a two lap course you do twice. There is a steady climb for quarter of mile on the course, but that is your only uphill! On finishing, your name is called out over the PA system (nice touch), a great bespoke medal (one of the best you will receive) and a goody bag filled with things you want after a race. Water, energy drink, mars bar, crisps, cereal bar, etc and no unwanted bits of rubbish. Having completed a number of Half Marathons across the UK in the last 5 years, this race stands up as to one of the best. Now looking forward to next year! Date of review: November 26, 2013
In short: Well organised raceIn full: My 2nd time running this race and I enjoyed it. The venue is good with plenty of facilities and shelter from the bitterly cold wind (although no heating). Parking was easier this year - a short walk as the venue is so huge. Heard of problems getting out but we stayed around for a long time afterwards so did not get caught up in the queues to leave.Race is 2 laps through country roads and villages, with some stretches on closed main roads. Nice scenery. Didn't feel over crowded and good mix of runners (we were pretty near the back!).Marshals were really excellent and very encouraging, they must have been freezing standing about in the cold for hours yet they still had a smile on their faces.Drinks were water in cups and 1 stop for Gatorade (also in cups).The goodybag was nice as it had plenty of food in it - always good! There was also an energy (Red Bull-style) which wasn't great for immediately after running but perfect for the long drive home when feeling tired). Medal was very nice and chunky :) Massage available afterwards for a donation to charity.No PB for me as was running with 2 friends quite new to running so stuck at their pace but I would say this is a pretty good course for a PB (last year I got a good time here).Will probably do it again in the future but it is quite a long way for me to travel so probably not every year.Date of review: November 26, 2013
In short: Fantastic organisation, excellent race - not as flat as you'd think a run around norfolk would be! only downside was the ban on ipods etc. Would definitely do this race again.Date of review: November 25, 2013
In short: well organiseed, lots of help and advice available for a first timerDate of review: November 25, 2013
In short: Well organised event. Just about perfect running conditionsIn full: It is a two lapper but still went quickly, the run through the country areas definitely good. Excellent organisation for a big half. Well marshalled, friendly support all round the course, local people out in force in places. Date of review: November 24, 2013
In short: First Half Marathon. Really enjoyed it and conditions were perfectDate of review: November 24, 2013
In short: I take my hat off to the organisers - silky smooth !!!In full: Really enjoyed ... and a lesson in how to organise a large half marathon. Date of review: November 24, 2013

We checked in with a handful of influential Columbus music fans to find out what's been in rotation lately. They were given no parameters, so their picks range from the current to the classic and from the underground to the mainstream. Check back soon for more sound recommendations.
Lesley James, Program Director and Afternoon Drive DJ at CD102.5:
Silversun Pickups, "Neck of the Woods"
Ask anyone at CD102.5 what I have been listening to lately and they'll say Silversun Pickups' "Neck of the Woods." It's been in constant rotation in my office, in my car, and at home since it was released on May 8. It's a solid album from start to finish and definitely one that you need to spend time with. Trust me, if it doesn't pull you in immediately, it will after a couple of listens. I love that the band incorporates more electronic elements on this release. Nikki Monninger's bass lines are definitely in the forefront too. "The Pit" really expresses this and the use of electronics. It's my favorite tune and totally reminds me of Joy Division/New Order. Every track is a standout!
Kareem Jackson, co-owner at Milk Bar and co-founder of Get Right and O-Gee
A$AP Rocky & A$AP Mob
A$AP Rocky/A$AP Mob has my ear at the moment. The flows are smooth, the beats are trippy and mellow, plus they rap about a lot of high-end designers that aren't on the average person's radar so they get extra love from me. While everyone else is doing the same repetitive style of rap and videos, A$AP's crew is more innovative and breaking the mold. They grab people's attention by bring something new. Even true hip-hop heads appreciate them without feeling guilty.
Jon Witzky, Used Kids Records employee and musician with Lightning Path and El Jesus de Magico:
Roxy Music, "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" from their 1973 album "For Your Pleasure"
Roxy Music exists in an eerie and ridiculous universe where, beneath a plastic veneer of pure aesthete, lies a perverse and mock sensuality punctuated by a vaguely tangible sense of violence. [With] "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," Bryan Ferry's ode to a blow-up doll, the band creates this landscape perfectly; the tension builds slowly and deliberately and finally explodes in an orgasmic and clichéd rock and roll climax with the words, "I blew up your body… but you blew my mind." Classic.

Savings of: $20.13 (44% off)
It's starting to WORK after 2 months!
Posted by Reviewer2972434 on Nov 13, 2011
I have been using this product now for 2 months and I am right now starting to see the slightest of improvement. Last night I actually slept for 4 hours straight before being forced awake to have to urinate. Usually I only sleep for about an hour or 2 befoe having to get up and take care of matters, so that's an improvement. Also, my flow is getting better and I'm not wetting all over the place as I did before. I was told that it takes taking this stuff for about 3 months before you will notice any appreciative difference. Well, I've tried everything and nothing else has worked for me before. Noticing this already after only 2 months is indicating that this is indeed good stuff.
so far so good
Posted by Reviewer1478401 on May 25, 2010

Seems good
Posted by Reviewer1562340 on Sep 01, 2011
I really spent a long time comparing the ingredients of a lot of different prostate products, and this one looked like it had the best combination, and at a reasonable price, like most Now Foods products. After just two weeks, I've noticed improvement in my prostate health, taking only the minimum recommended dose, along with Healthy Origins Astaxanthin.
Good product

I bought this product for my Dad who has mild prostate enlargement, he's been on it for a month now and he says he's been waking up less during the night to go to the bathroom. So far so good!!!
Now Foods, Prostate Support
Posted by Reviewer2321661 on Dec 06, 2010
I bought it for my husband. He is now on his second bottle and he found it helpful. No need to get up to go to the bathroom during he night. But he is also using progesterone hormone cream. I think both work to keep his prostate healthy.
