Ramadan fasting raises health and ethical questions for Muslim women who are pregnant, nursing or menstruating.
By WeNews Staff
Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Women's eNews launched an eight-part series exploring how Muslim women manage customs, religious practices and women's rights. This series is supported by a grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
(WOMENSENEWS)--Burkas. Veils. Stoning. Powerlessness. Weeping mothers of children killed in sectarian violence. These are the images prominent in the U.S. media and that of other Western nations when it comes to Muslim women in the Arab region.
In partnership with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Women's eNews will produce news that is completely different. In an eight-part series of stories about women and Islam, correspondents in the United States and in the broader Muslim world will report on the strategies adopted by Muslim women to respect their faith and culture, while insisting on the right to participate fully in their societies, to be heard not as Western-style feminists but as women of faith who are equal.
Women are working within Islamic frameworks to pave a clear path for their own spiritual and civic leadership; their scholarship is laying a foundation for understanding women's equal rights within their religious doctrine. Many Muslim women are revisiting traditional views and religious beliefs, making them more inclusive and respectful of both sexes. U.S.-based Muslim women are challenging stereotypes and political beliefs that are used to rationalize foreign policy decisions by actively challenging bias; Muslims in the Middle East are strongly pressing their cases for their human rights, while expressing their devotion to their faith and their governments.
By approaching these women with the underlying belief that it is the women themselves who are determining their own futures, Women's eNews reveals Muslim women as fully fledged architects of their own destinies, taking an active hand in writing their own stories.

Developing countries say the work plan can progress only if outstanding issues are resolved first
Talks are now in full swing at the climate meet at Doha in Qatar. The negotiations, which are happening under three different tracks—ad hoc working groups on Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP), Long-Term Cooperative Action (AWG-LCA) and Durban Platform—have all been launched. And the differences between the negotiating countries, or Parties as they are called in the climate circuit, are out in the open in all the three tracks.
Disagreements begin; parties to discuss informally to adopt long-term cooperation agenda
By Uthra Radhakrishnan
Two days into the ongoing negotiations at Bonn and the all too familiar rifts are visible. The primary disagreement is over how to move forward—whether to begin discussions from what was agreed to in the meeting of the Conference of Parties (CoP) in Bali in 2007 or the Durban CoP in 2011.
Demand higher ambition; will EU still take the lead?
By Uthra Radhakrishnan
Just ahead of the mid-year climate change session at Bonn, starting on May 14, the least developed countries (LDCs) have issued a call for efforts to be directed towards raising ambition on mitigation for the pre-2020 period, calling it the sine qua non of a successful outcome on the new Durban Platform negotiations.
Progress at Bonn marred by old climate politics
Will negotiating parties be able to sort out their differences at Doha?

Lamp from a hanging planter
Materials: Skurar hanging planter, Hemma cord
Description: I found this beautiful, doily pattern hanging planter at Ikea a few days ago.
It was just too pretty, to put only flowers in it, I wanted to use it in a different way: as a lamp, in my kitchen!
So, I turned the planter up side down, and drilled a hole, on the top of it.
Finally, I pulled hema cord, thru the hole. (first, I unjoined the upper part)
It is so easy, takes only 5 min! To remove the stickers from the item is much more difficult....;-)
See more of the doily planter lamp.

Howard is a load. I'm a big Amir fan and all, but no way can Amir guard DHo. Sheed can do an OK job, but he'll rack up fouls too. This is a Shaq type exception.
I can live with that, but if Amir doesn't get minutes against Tony Battie, and that strange looking tall guy with the funny name and their bench line-up, then i'll be cursing at Curry (quietly so my next door neighbors don't think i'm nuts)
Since i have the week off i am gonna try to watch the game (if i can find a descent feed). It will be 01:30 at night overhere when the game starts, so Pistons better play well enough to keep me awake.
Richard Hamilton out for tonight's showdown against Orlando | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press Left groin injury keeps Richard Hamilton out, Amir Johnson to make second straight start - Detroit Pistons Basketball: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com RIP is officially out
Oh man, I remember how Chauncey would eat Nelson up everytime. This game is a big test for us, and we can send out a strong message if we do beat the magic.
Can't complain about that, but this is about the only team that I wouldn't recommend it. I'll assume that Sheed will be guarding Howard and will be leaving the game after about 5 minutes with a T.
He'll get 2 fouls in the first 3 minutes against DHo & Shard and Curry will put in Kwame like he should have to start the game.
He got 3 LOL, but 2 were not his fault. We really miss Rip's shooting out there. AI needs to man up on Jameer. He's getting blown by. KB should be OK out there expect we lose speed to recover. I take it back AI; you're doing much better now. And according to the ORL board Amir was dominating the game. They all were like WTF is that?
small ball aint good. Better D last few games. 76 against bucks, 82 today against orlando..defense much better. great win..
I hope that The Grieving Groin, formerly known as The Grieving Rip Hamilton is out long enough so MC forgets what small ball means. ( and The Grieving Groin is in my fantasy team, but I'm ready for this sacrifice)

Nicola Samori (b. 1977). Italian.
Nicola Samori is fucking incredible. He works out of Italy, and he's managed to nail the style of the Old Masters: his exhibitions contain everything from beautiful Baroque saints to Flemish still lifes — all painted now, in the modern era, in his studio. And that would be amazing in and of itself, but his work is so much more than simple reproduction. See, once he's finished with a painting, or once he's adapted one that's been previously created, he takes a scalpel to it, a spatula, or a square of sandpaper, and begins to peel it apart. He flays painted skin right off his subjects' bones.
Sometimes the "destruction" of the images asks the audience to think about what, exactly, the painting communicates when it's whole. Other times it adds a strange level of corporeality to religious works, or gives portraits a darkly spiritual dimention they never had before.
He's said in interviews that he views the layers of paint on the canvas as analogous to the muscle and tissue of the human body, and that by wearing it away, he changes the identity of the paintings themselves.
Dark and sometimes chilling as it is, I think his work is genuinely brilliant, and he's one of my favorite living artists.
(Long story short, here's his website, go check it out!)

En Español (Spanish Version)
Thiamine, also called vitamin B1, is a water-soluble vitamin found in virtually every cell in the body. Water-soluble vitamins are stored in the body in very limited amounts and are excreted through the urine. For this reason, it is a good idea to have them in your daily diet. Thiamine is also available as a supplement and by prescription as an injection.
Thiamine helps to process carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Specifically, it is needed to make adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the body's main energy-carrying molecule. Thiamin is also necessary for memory and other brain functions.
Thiamine deficiency was more common before thiamine was added to refined grains. This deficiency can lead to beriberi, a disease that affects the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal , and nervous system.
There have been no adverse effects reported with taking too much dietary thiamine—the body excretes any excess amount that is consumed. In rare instances, coughing, hives, itching swelling, and breathing difficulties have occurred from thiamine injections given by doctors.
Thiamine is mostly found in whole-grain and enriched grain products like bread, pasta, rice, and fortified cereals. These foods are enriched with thiamine because the vitamin is often lost during the refining process. Pork, liver, and other organ meats are naturally high in thiamine. This table lists good food sources of thiamine.
A severe thiamine deficiency, though rare in the US, can cause the disease beriberi. Beriberi can damage the heart and the nervous system. Symptoms include fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, memory loss, and heart failure. This condition is still seen in people who abuse alcohol, in people whose ability to absorb thiamine is impaired, and in developing countries where foods are not fortified. Treating beriberi with vitamin B1 cures most cases, though severe deficiency can cause irreversible damage.
A deficiency of thiamine can cause Korsakoff's Syndrome, which mainly affects short-term memory. Symptoms of Korsakoff's syndrome include difficulty with walking and balance, paralysis of some of the eye muscles, confusion, and drowsiness. It is often caused by alcoholism and also occurs with forms of brain damage, such as tumors , head injuries , and strokes. Treatment of Korsakoff's syndrome involves intravenous thiamine and oral thiamine supplements over many months. If alcoholism is the cause, that also needs to be treated.
In people with congestive heart failure (CHF), the heart's ability to pump weakens, and fluid begins to accumulate in the lungs and legs. Loop diuretics are often prescribed to treat CHF. However, these drugs can deplete the body of thiamine. Since thiamine is required for normal heart function, this can cause problems. Thiamine supplements may be prescribed in these cases.

I know we've visited this before, but I wonder if there is a particular style of bed side lamp that is better than others. Currently i have some pretty huge side lamps (with mis=matched shades) that would probably go in the living room. What style is recommened, if any? What style do you have? | |||
Have all different styles - don't prefer one over the other. Don't know about your lr, wendek, but those lamps work for me in your bohemian-style (IMHO) bedroom. If it were my bedroom, I'd standardize both the shades and height. (The lower one could be placed on books or possibly a wooden accessory box to accomplish that.) Good Luck! | ||||
Thanks, Bearcat, raising them to the same height sounds like a good idea. | ||||
I don't think there's a standard other than having them the right scale. You might choose a different configuration based on your particular needs such as you enjoy reading in bed, you have a particularly small surface area on your bedside table (or no table), etc. I tend to like some level of symmetry, but I don't think you have to use twins. | ||||
The only recommendation I would make (other than same height) is to use matching shades. That said, I have not yet done that with my bedside lamps as it's not a priority and I haven't yet found any I like at a price I like. Mine are non-matching but the same height. One is crystal and the other has some crystal on it and I had DH paint the yucky brass parts antique white. Mine are even taller than yours but the beside tables are matching and large and the room and my headboard are quite large. They appear to me to be in scale. Both yard sale finds which I like and may never replace as they work well for reading in bed. IMO there is no 'correct' style for bedside lamps as long as you like them and they fit with the rest of the decor. Is there a reason your bed is not centered on that wall? Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
This is what I'm hoping to put in my bedroom. Will clear off the night stands. From Lakeside Collections I don't mind coming to work. But that 8 hr. wait to go home is a drag. http://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x189/indycatCarol/ | ||||
I might add along with the importance of scale mentioned, that you factor in if you read in bed or not. If so, the shades that are dark such as your black shade tend to cast light downward and upward whereas a lighter shades allows light to filter thru the sides too. Importantly for reading is the height of the lamps and the wattage variances of the bulbs. Readers often mount side lamps on walls, as has been illustrated, or feature candlestick style lamps that tend to be higher than most. In any event, the lamps should be in scale to the bed. | ||||
I love your lamps wendek! I think they look great! (Except of course it would look better if the shades matched) The important thing with bedside lamps is that they are tall enough to cast good light down on a book if you are reading in bed. When you are sitting in bed to read, the bottom of the lampshade should be at about eye level. If lamps are too tall the light gets cast against your head causing a shadow to fall on your book. If lamps are too short the light misses the book. Your lamps seem to fit the bill perfectly. The color is good in your room, and the scale is nice. (Just get another black shade for the lamp in the right.) | ||||
Thanks for the ideas.. I like the wall mounted styles, that's clever. I do read in bed so height is something to consider. i'll stack a few books and see what I get Picking out, or finding the right shades is a big deal too. Next time I'll buy all the lamps at the same time. On the hunt for a matching shade now. | ||||

Gov. Paul LePage's decision to remove a mural from the Department of Labor building was protected as government speech, a federal judge ruled Friday. U.S. District Judge John Woodcock Jr. said the state was allowed to take down the mural because it owns the artwork.
Besides finding in favor of LePage and members of his administration, Woodcock also dismissed two counts of an amended complaint filed by the plaintiffs, according to the Bangor Daily News. Three artists named as plaintiffs sued to seek a trial to compel LePage to restore the mural in the state building. But Woodcock argued that because the state commissioned the artwork and paid for it, the state has the right to decide what to do with it, and can even destroy it. LePage said the mural is in a safe place but would not say where.
LePage in March 2011 ordered the removal of the mural, which contains 11 panels depicting the history of the labor movement in Maine, because he said it was one-sided.

Yesterday's Slow Food Maui Taste Education event at Ali'i Kula Lavender during their Family Fun Day was a great success.
We brought awareness to the differences between imported vs. locally grown or raised food, not just in terms of sustainability and the carbon footprint involved, but in the flavors you can only get from food that comes fresh from your local sources.
Becky Speere, corporate Chef at the Maui Cattle Company, outdid herself with some wonderful burgers that were part of a tasting plate with locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Also on hand were Susan Campbell, Dania Katz and Roxanne Tiffin.
We sold 30 plates at $5.00 each, had $12.00 in donations and signed up 12 people. We also have 2 mew members who want to be involved. In addition, O'o Farm offered to host Slow Food Maui at our next event.
It's likely that Taste Education will become a signature event for Slow Food Maui.

It's hard to put into words my thoughts on the nine days I spent in Canterbury, New Zealand. Never before have I had such a jam-packed travel schedule where I've been able to experience so much about a location in a short period of time. And if you hadn't guessed it from my other blog posts — I loved it. Yes, it was so busy that sometimes I didn't have a chance to think, but it was one of the best trips I've ever had.
My itinerary made me truly appreciate the diversity of Canterbury. It's not just Christchurch and the Canterbury Plains. It's much larger than that, stretching from the blue Pacific to the golden hills of the Mackenzie Basin. Everywhere you look there are mountains, some snowcapped, some that men dream about conquering. It's such a scenic place that I took over 3600 photos in the span of nine days!
Canterbury offers such a wide array of experiences as well. The adventurous will find plenty to sate their daredevil appetites –perhaps with a rafting trip down the Waiau followed by a bungee jump above it. However, there's plenty for those looking for a slightly calmer time as well — it'd be hard to pass on wine tasting in the Waipara followed by a relaxing soak in the hot pools at Hanmer Springs.
Speaking of diversity, I tried so many different foods while in Canterbury that my stomach must have thought it had died and gone to heaven. Mexican, French, Asian, steak, lamb, seafood, fudge…you name it, I probably ate it. It was all delicious, and I'm going to struggle trying to find any meal better than the duck a l'orange I had in Akaroa.
And who can forget the wildlife? In just over a week, I was lucky enough to see three sperm whales, a pod of 200 dusky dolphins, many swooping albatrosses (and some other sea birds too), some fighting eels, many small pods of very endangered Hector's dolphins, baby New Zealand fur seals frolicking in rock pools, eighty little penguins having a happy hour in the middle of Flea Bay, and a sheep in a hi-vis vest. Had I stayed longer in Mount Cook, I might have been lucky enough to see a cheeky kea — although perhaps only seeing a stained glass version was a bit safer, given their destructive curiosity!
None of these experiences would have been the same — or in some cases, they wouldn't have been possible at all — without the people of Canterbury. I met so many interesting, friendly, and helpful people along the way — both fellow travellers and locals. Maurice's Maori Tour in Kaikoura was truly a standout in this respect, because I felt like I learned more about Maori culture and the local people in a few hours than I'd ever known before. Elsewhere in Canterbury, I got a chance to sit down and chat with hotel owners, tour guides, and restaurant chefs about anything and everything New Zealand (with the obligatory questions about my braced knee thrown in). I heard so many interesting stories and got some great tips to help me along as well. With so many people to chat to, I never felt alone.
Which place had the best combination of all of these things? Which was my absolute favourite? It's such a hard choice…but if I had to pick one, and only one, I would choose Tekapo. It's such a spectacularly scenic place, but to top it off, some of the experiences I had there were mind-boggling. I'd been admiring mountains on every leg of my trip, but on the Grand Traverse flight, I got to look down on them, watching as the snow blew off their peaks. And everywhere I went, I'd been gazing at the stars, loving how many I could see compared to home, but in Tekapo, I got to see them in a whole new way — from the observatory. In no way did I ever think that I would see Saturn — rings, moons, and all — while I was in NZ!
That said, every place I visited — Kaikoura, the Waipara, Hanmer Springs, Akaroa, Geraldine, Tekapo, and Mount Cook — had its own charm. I genuinely enjoyed visiting all of them, and I often found it very difficult to leave. If I ever got the chance, I would pay each and every place a return visit. I'd love to go back and do some of the things that couldn't possibly fit into my very full itinerary, but I'd also be happy trying some of the same things again (especially dolphin swimming — hopefully I'd actually be able to get into the water if I went again!).
So, even though it all seems like a faraway dream — something that must have happened to another person, even though I have the pictures and writing to prove it was me — it was such a good dream. It reaffirmed how much I love New Zealand and proved to me that Canterbury should always have a starring place on a South Island itinerary.
I'd like to thank Wotif.com and Canterbury Tourism for all the hard work they put into planning my Canterbury Tiki Tour. They helped me with any questions I may have had along the way and were generally just awesome!

'Supernatural' - Death's Door
Bobby Singer, this is your life
This review may contain spoilers
As we feared, at the end of the last episode, Bobby (Jim Beaver) was shot in the head and it is very bad. At the hospital we spend a little time with the boys being sad. Sam (Jared Padalecki) wants to prepare for the worst but Dean (Jensen Ackles) is in complete denial, providing his brother no emotional support.
At one point, Dean goes outside to find a mocking Dick Roman (James Patrick Stuart). They have a confrontation ending with Dean loudly threatening to kill Dick that is filmed by a large audience of bystanders on their phones. One expects this to have repercussions later. Mostly, though, we are inside Bobby's mind.
Bobby relives three important events from his past plus recent events that he quickly realizes are not real. Bobby knows that he was shot in the head and that he is dying. A reaper (Henri Lubatti) comes for him, but because they are in the landscape of his mind he has some control over events.
A clue from Rufus (Steven Williams), who suffered a near fatal head wound while on a hunt with Bobby, says that if he can find "the door" buried within his worst memory and go through it, he can escape death. One of the important events is this hunt, and the aftermath, with Rufus.
The first candidate for worst memory is a confrontation with his wife, Karen (Carrie Anne Fleming). Three days before he was forced to kill her, they had a big fight. Even though Bobby knew she wanted children, it has now come out that Bobby refuses and this breaks her heart. Even more than killing her he regrets that they never had the chance to heal this breach. But that's not really his worst memory.
His worst memory is of an evening with his parents back when he was perhaps 10. His abusive father (Edward Foy) had totally cowed his mother (Chelah Horsdal), whose entire existence at this point was focused on creating a perfect home so that there would be no spark to set off the violence.
When little Bobby (Collin MacKechnie) accidentally spills his milk, his father loses all semblance of reason. Interspersed with historical events, Bobby has his chance to speak to his memory of his father. Dad was a cowardly bully. Bobby was so afraid of turning into his father that he never had kids, but he adopted two boys and they turned out great.
When Dad begins beating on Mom, little Bobby, who had been sent out for a broom, returns with a rifle and kills his father. His horrified mother tells little Bobby that God will punish him. Bobby reassures his younger self that the right thing was done, people saved are often not grateful and to bury Dad behind the shed. Of course, this memory is where his door is.
Bobby, whose real world condition had been fluctuating in accord with what he had been reliving, was stable and the boys happened to be with him when he wakes. Bobby tries unsuccessfully to speak, but Dean provides him with a pen and he writes on Sam's hand. His task complete, he is clearly at peace and says "Idjits" with a smile then flatlines.
It is an apt ending to a life well lived. Internally, Bobby is reliving a comfortable and happy moment with the boys when the reaper beckons. This is Bobby's last chance to move on with the reaper or become a revenant.
Fade to black to the sounds of the reaper's ticking watch as we look at Bobby's indecisive face.
Points Of Interest
1. Bobby's father, Ed, was an alcoholic, wife and child beater.
2. During Rufus' near death experience, he also had been locked within vignettes of his life. Unlike Bobby, when he escaped through the door within his worst memory, he lived.
3. Sam holds the correct opinions on the edibility of licorice (no) and Jet Li's superiority over Chuck Norris as an action hero (yes). Dean does not.
4. When the boys were young, Bobby would occasionally do normal things with them like play catch. Their father, John, felt that a moment not training was wasted and would fight with Bobby over this.
5. There is a glyph, charged by a spell, that traps a reaper, not unlike a devil's trap.
6. While waiting, Sam makes a gesture with his hands that reminds us of his Hell-coping mechanism. Has Phantom Lucifer appeared? Or is he just hoping that Bobby's imminent death is just an illusion?
7. As Bobby was dying, or more accurately as parts of his brain died, his internal world grew darker and more empty.
8. The information that Bobby absolutely had to give the boys was a number: 454895.
What Worked
Even though Jim Beaver plays Bobby as a closed off kinda guy with a dry sense of humor, this episode's performance was extremely powerful and touching.
In confronting his father, Bobby finally says out loud (well, to himself at least) what we've all thought. He considers Sam and Dean his adopted sons.
What Didn't Work
I don't particularly object to men with earrings, but Rufus' was ugly, dangly and distracting. Bleah.

Saving money on fuel was a topic for discussion at a meeting of the Lynch City Council on Tuesday. Financial Officer Bill Dean told council thus far the city has saved approximately $7,000 in comparison to last year's fuel usage.
"Right now our monthly pace of fuel usage is $1,144.55," said Dean. "If we stay on that pace, we'll use less than $18,000 for fuel this year."
Council member Carl Collins asked which was the cheapest route, buying fuel at local gas stations or buying gasoline in bulk for city vehicles.
"Well, we used $25,000 for fuel last year," said Dean. "The difference is, I guess, city employees have made a point this year of using less fuel."
Asking if it would be cheaper to buy gasoline in bulk, councilman Winston Yeary, suggested looking at fuel prices buying in bulk and waiting until the prices drop considerably before making the purchase.
"Honestly, the best case scenario is that we get a bulk rate that is cheaper and also use less fuel," said Dean. "But, if we do that we have a pretty sizable bill that sits on your accounts payable. We have to plan for that. If we pay as we go, use less fuel, you wind up saving money because you don't have to sit on it. In a perfect world, you'd rather buy it in bulk and use less and save that much more."
Yeary asked if the lump sum the city would pay for buying bulk could be broken up into monthly payments.
"We usually pay one lump sum, but we could break it up into payments. It just depends. We could make one monthly payment and then the fuel company decides they want the rest of the balance, then they are calling you every day wanting their money," said Dean. "The fuel tanks the city has belong to Rayburn Doss at Fuelco. Mr. Doss has been very good to the city in waiting for payments in the past. It's just that the way we were doing it in the past, by buying in bulk, we just seemed to use more fuel."
City clerk Erica Eldridge said "it's easier to keep track of fuel being used by paying as you go, because that way you can keep track of who is actually getting gasoline."
"I hate to publicly say, but this comes down to us not having $8,000 to spend for fuel at one time," said Mayor Johnny Adams. "We just need to keep a better handle on this like we've been doing."
In other action, council:
*Heard from Lynch resident Mark Hudack asking the city to either abandon or sell him an approximate 40-foot easement (public sidewalk) near his home running parallel to Rock Barn Alley. Adams tabled the issue saying if no complaints are heard against this action from other residents in the area within the next 30 days, the issue will be brought back before the council for action to be taken at their next meeting. Anyone wishing to file a complaint may contact city hall at 848-2873.
*Approved a resolution for Fiscal Year 2013 House Bill 265 Coal Severance Line-Item Projects ID#B189 funds of $25,000 be allocated for the purpose of installing a new gate valve, variable frequency drive and turbine pump at the Lynch water treatment plant.
*Had the first reading of Ordinance 7112011, Amendment 3 relating to the job classifications rates of pay.
*Set Halloween Trick or Treat hours for Oct. 31 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.

Ok, so I'm the luckiest rocketeer around this weekend. I've got the new PerfectFlite Stratologger SL100 to play with before it's released to everyone else. To see it in person you'll have to come the METRA launch this weekend.
So, because I don't have the Ok to release all the details or a picture, I'll just say it's a higher accuracy baro altimeter that doesn't need a mach delay!
Anyhow, mounting it was just as easy as the MWAD. The only difference is that it is about 1/4 inch shorter. you need to drill a couple more holes if you're using your MWAD board. The wiring is all the same: switch, power and 2 outputs.
There's new software that's a snap to use. It's easier then the MWAD software and it allows you to program the altimeter. This one also has a siren to help you find it! The book also says this one will report both speed and max altitude with beeps.
I'll let you know more this weekend - I'm going to use the heck out of it!

Michelle S.
Well, I assume that you have read my blog last week, right? It is all about sounding out CVC words. There are several activities for that.
I have found, in years past, that a few kids that couldn't seem to hold the sounds in short term memory long enough to blend them together. By the time they got to the third sound, they couldn't remember the first one. That's a learning disability in my humble opinion, but please keep in mind that I am not a school psychologist. However, in these cases, it was confirmed by our school psychologist at the time. Those children had short term memory deficits.
Short Term Memory Issues?
To give yourself a clue as to whether a child may have short term memory issues, try this little "test." We used to have The Three Step Direction Test that we had to give at my school. Kids that couldn't concentrate very well had trouble with it (like ADHD), but kids with memory issues NEVER got it, even in a quiet room with no distractions.
Give them three directions in a row, and see if they can do them. You'll have to make sure that you have their attention when you give the directions, and get them looking you right in the eye. Tell them that you are going to give them three directions in a row, and they will need to do them in the exact order that they are given. You can even make up an example question and do it together first, just to clarify that they understand first.
If I am recalling the test questions correctly, they went something like this:
1. Stand up, turn around, and pick up a red crayon. (You have to have several colors of crayons on a table close at hand.)
2. Jump up and down, clap two times, and touch the floor.
3. Pick up a yellow crayon, touch your nose with it, and put in next to the box.
I used to narrow it down to a two step direction test for some kids to see if they could do two directions in a row if they never got three steps. Some of the kids that later wound receiving special ed services at my school were able to do some of the two step directions if they really concentrated, especially if they involved crayons, but not necessarily the other ones. I think that this was because they were used to being given directions such as, "Sit down and pick up a red crayon."
Click here to learn more about Memory Train. |
There is one iPad app that I know of that works on stretching the short term visual memory, though not auditory memory. It is called Memory Train, and my kids really love it. If anyone knows of an iPad app that works on stretching auditory memory, please let me know!
Addressing Letter Sound Fluency
The other thing that might be happening to your kids is that having to identify the letter sounds themselves is stressing them out and making the whole process harder. This really could be it, since you say that if you segment the word for them, they can blend it, right? So how quickly can these children say the letter sounds when shown a letter? Does it take a while for the child to retrieve that sound, or is it quick and automatic? If the sound doesn't pop out of the child's mouth very quickly and fluently, that's probably your breakdown right there, and you'll need to work on that. So get those letter cards back out and start drilling them on those letter sounds again, and try to get them to say all 26 of the letter sounds in 30 seconds or less. The goal should be 1 second per letter. If they cannot do that, then reading will be too slow, and fluency in sounding out the words will not come, in my experience. If anyone knows of an iPad app that develops letter sound fluency, please let me know! I know of lots of apps that work on letter sounds, but none that encourage the children to say them quickly.
If a child can't say anything fast-even things he or she knows very well, such as the names of common objects or colors, etc.- then I think that this is a matter of visual processing. It is also sometimes referred to as "Rapid Naming Deficits." Children should be able to tell you the names of things that they use daily very quickly, like in about one second. So if you have flashcards or real objects that you know the child knows that names of, like toys, clothing, furniture, etc., then ask the child to name them for you and see how quickly the child can name them. The child should be able to say them all fairly quickly. If there is a lot of hesitation you may want to seek professional advice. Children that cannot do this, often wind up having trouble naming the letters, sounds, and sight words quickly as well, no matter how well they know them. That makes sense, doesn't it? This impedes their ability to read fluently, so the child my need some extra help getting past that issue.
These CVC cards and pictures are from my CVC book. |
Here are some other things to try!
1. Daily Whole Group Practice, Using Movements
I have been having my entire class practice sounding out words from a pocket chart, using Zoo-Phonics motions for the letter sounds, or the RISE motions that I made up for the blog lesson that I posted on in November. (There is a video on my Facebook page of the movements; click here to see it.) Nobody gets away with not doing the motions, because I start by saying, "Everybody, hands UP!" If I notice anyone ignoring that command, I make an issue of it. Now I know that some of the children can easily sound out the words without using their hands, but lots of them cannot. So I insist that ALL of them do the motions. This forces all of the ones that might prefer to "opt out" of this activity and just sort of daydream while we do it to focus and think. No hands in the pockets, no hands in the laps. No picking at the fingers, clothing, shoes, or jewelry. Eyes up, hands up, here we go. Got it?
In addition to the daily practice, which has obvious benefits, my thought is that the children that know how to do it are modeling this process for the ones that don't understand. And often times, a child modeling a skill for another child is better than an adult modeling a skill for a child. I have heard this lots of times from teachers in the past. If a teacher cannot explain a skill to a child, then sometimes another child might be able to do it and get the point across.
* I have decided that when we do this that some of my higher kids are giving away too many answers too fast. In fact, the other children are basically letting them do practically all of the work, and the children that need more processing time to come up with the answers really aren't getting enough time to even think. So I have sent them to go read books while we do this for five minutes. I explained to them, and to the rest of the class, that they already know it, and I want the rest of the class to have a chance to think. Guess what? Suddenly the rest of the kids are all enthusiastically shouting out the answers! I think that some of the other kids want to be included in that "elite" group. Hmmm..... :)
Daily whole group practice can make a difference. Add movements to insure all children stay focused. |
2. Dumb Things That (Sometimes) Work
My kids love to pop bubble wrap bubbles, so when I get something in the mail that is wrapped in bubble wrap, I save it. Then, in small groups, each time one of them sounds out a word, I let them pop one of the bubbles. The added bonus is that it develops fine motor skills by working those finger muscles as well. :)
3. Tell Them Your Fingers SING!
Try running your fingers under the words while they sound out the words. This is the routine that we were given from the SIPPS program, and it is a good one: the teacher says, "Sound," and starts running the finger under each letter. The child says each letter sound as you run your finger under it. Then you do it again, but a little faster. Hopefully, the child will start to blend them together. If not, I tell them, "My fingers make the letters sing. Help me make the letters sing." Then do it again, and see if the children start singing the letter sounds. This often makes them blend the letter sounds together as they are singing the sounds.
This is the free download paper that we used from last week's blog entry. |
The other thing that helps is that when we practice the alphabet sounds, we do the same thing: Just say, "Sound," and run your finger under the letter from left to right while the kids say it. The only difference is that there is only one letter on the card. If you want them to give the letter name instead, say, "Letter."
I keep all of my CVC flashcards in a binder like this. |
4. Once a Child Sounds Out a Word, Have Them Do It AGAIN IMMEDIATELY
I started doing this last year with a child who was really struggling, poor thing! He finally got one word sounded out, and I thought to myself, "Maybe I'll give him success by having him do the same word in a row." Much to my surprise, he could not do it a second time in a row! I was stunned. He said, "No, I can't," and groaned and moaned, even though he had JUST told me the answer! So now, with the ones that are struggling so terribly, I will sometimes have them go back to the very same word that I just gave them, and do it again. (And again, and again, and again!) I tell them, "Show me how you do that one more time," just to solidify it in their minds. "Or, let's practice doing that again. Show me how you sound that word out."
Another way to approach it is to put that very word into the "Sound It Out" song on Little Songs for Language Arts CD. Just change the words so that you have the child singing the word that you want him to sound out, rather than the words that are on my CD. That should really help a lot; even my students that are struggling the most can sound out the words that we sound out on that song!
CVC flash cards are stored by word family in baseball card sleeves! |
5. Try a Different Movement
Have your kids touch their shoulder for the first sound, then their middle arm (or elbow) for the second sound, and their hand for the last sound. Then blend the sounds together by sliding their hand all the way from their shoulder to their hand. This variation of movements helps some kids get it.
We practice sounding some sight words out daily, with movements whole group. |
6. Try a New Game
Sometimes adding in some novelty helps a child practice something that they have already practiced a hundred times before. My kids love velcro! I think that they love it because of that funny sound it makes when you pull it apart. We now have CVC Spelling Puzzles, and my kids really LOVE them! Yes, they are very similar to the the CVC Pockets, but in this case, there is the visual clue of the puzzle piece that helps the child know where to put the piece down, and that always helps. They are just a tad easier than the CVC Pockets. Click here to try a few!
These are our CVC Puzzles. They attach with velcro. |
Our new CVC Pockets are a hit with my kids! |
7. Read My Lips
This activity is done to practice blending the sounds together without necessarily looking at the written letters.
Have kids watch your lips make all three sounds in succession while you say the sounds. Make sure you get their attention focused right on your mouth before you begin. I usually tap my mouth with my finger or the end of my pencil, and say, "Watch my mouth." Then I look them straight in the eye and make the sounds. Then I tell the child, "Now say that back to me." After they do, then ask them to speed it up and say it faster.
The idea here is that you have got the child to use a little bit of lip reading as a visual clue to help them identify the sounds that they are hearing. Once the child has identified the sounds that he has heard, (and you'll know this because he or she has repeated them back to you,) then he can start to blend them together for you. Hopefully, then, you won't get children telling you things like /sssssss/ /iiiiii/ /t/ is the word "pig." When children are taught to focus on the speaker's lips when that person is talking, then it teaches them a new way to pay attention and listen. And if a child has auditory processing problems, this can be a real life saver.
8. Try a New Teaching Routine
Here is another routine that I was taught to use as part of our SIPPS program. It is sometimes helpful to the low kids, especially- although the high kids do get impatient with it, I have found!
1. When teaching, first model the new skill twice.
Example: "My turn. /fffff/ /iiiii/ /sssshhhhh/."
"My turn again. /fffff/ /iiiii/ /sssshhhhh/."
2. Then have the kids do it with you twice.
Example: "Together: /fffff/ /iiiii/ /sssshhhhh/."
"Together again: /fffff/ /iiiii/ /sssshhhhh/."
3. Then have the kids try it alone- twice, of course!
Example: "Your turn. /fffff/ /iiiii/ /sssshhhhh/."
"Your turn again. /fffff/ /iiiii/ /sssshhhhh/."
If they don't get it, you are supposed to start over with this routine. I don't know if I buy into that whole "Start over and try it again from the beginning, no matter what, forever and ever" theory, though. For me, if something doesn't work with a child fifteen times in a row, trying it a sixteenth time seems like the definition of insanity to me. But I'll let you draw your own conclusions on that one.

Towson, Md. - Lenoir-Rhyne's Kate Griewisch has been named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-America NCAA Division II Women's Track & Field/Cross Country First Team. The squad is voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Griewisch, a senior from Banner Elk, N.C., earns Academic All-American accolades for the second straight year after being named to the second team in 2011.
Griewisch recently finished her collegiate career at Lenoir-Rhyne as a seven-time NCAA Division II All-American in three sports: women's cross country and women's indoor and outdoor track and field.
Griewisch earned All-American honors three times in both women's cross country (2009-11) and outdoor track and field (2011-12) and once in indoor track and field (2012).
In women's cross country, Griewisch finished fourth out of 186 competitors at the 2011 NCAA Division II National Championship in Spokane, Wash., this past November and has won the last three Southeast Regional races.
Griewisch also won the SAC Women's Cross Country Championship in 2009 and 2011 and led the Bears to back-to-back league titles in 2008 and 2009.
In outdoor track and field, Griewisch garnered All-American honors in both the women's 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter championships after finishing fourth and third, respectively, in the national finals this past May in Pueblo, Colo.
Griewisch leaves L-R holding school outdoor records in the one mile (5:03), 1,500-meter (4:32), 3,000-meter (10:36), 5,000-meter (16:20) and 10,000-meter (33:44) runs.
Griewisch's All-American honor in indoor track and field came in March in Mankato, Minn., when she placed fourth overall in the 5K at the D-II National Championships.
An outstanding student as well, Griewisch graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne last month with a 3.85 grade point average and a bachelor's degree in biology.
Griewisch is a three-time recipient of the South Atlantic Conference Women's Cross Country Scholar-Athlete Of The Year award (2009-11) and was named the female recipient of the Presidents Award in 2010-11. The Presidents Award is the highest honor the South Atlantic Conference gives out on an annual basis.
In addition, Griewisch was recently named the 2011-12 South Atlantic Conference Female Athlete Of The Year and is the league's nominee for the NCAA Woman Of The Year.

This page says that an extra Heal staff can be gotten from an enemy in chapter 3. If this is true, it'd probably be Lunatic mode only since I haven't seen a Heal staff on an enemy in Hard mode.
I didn't know enemy loot varied according to difficulty; that's a first o__o
Apparently that Heal staff is indeed Lunatic (and presumably Lunatic+) only.
...geez I could have confirmed that for you. xD

MADISON, Wisconsin — Activists are planning a training session on how to stop a giant iron mine in far northwestern Wisconsin.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Wednesday http://bit.ly/12vdHYN a group of 80 to 90 activists are planning to gather in the Chequamegon (SHA' - wah - mah - gone)-Nicolet National Forest north of Wausau to learn "peaceful resistance techniques."
The training session is expected to begin Friday and end on Monday. An online agenda calls for sessions on blockades, climbing, protesters rights and a presentation from the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, who adamantly oppose the mine.
A company called Gogebic Taconite wants to build a massive open-pit mine in the Penokee Hills just south of Lake Superior.
