Ah, Ah, Open Up!
Beginning Literacy Design
MaeLee Mathis
Rationale: Children need explicit instruction in order to learn to recognize phonemes in speech and print. Children need to know the pronunciation of words as well. This means students need to learn the sounds of letters and to recognize the letters. This lesson is to teach the following correspondence: o=/o/. Students will learn a meaningful representation of the sound /o/ (Ah, Ah, Open Up!) as well as practice spelling and reading this correspondence through a letterbox lesson. Also, students will read a decodable text that focuses on o=/o/.
Materials: Picture of a doctor and patient completing the motion of "Ah, Ah, Open Up"; cover-up critters (popsicle sticks with two eyes on the end); whiteboard; letterboxes (Also known as Elkonin boxes) drawn on whiteboard for modeling; letterboxes for each student; magnetic letters for modeling & letter tiles/manipulatives for each student: a, b, c, e, f, g, h, m, n, o, p, r, s, t; list of spelling words on poster: stomp, pot, on, pen, hop, got, rob, frog, chop, spot, chant, strong; tongue tickler on whiteboard: Oliver had an operation in October, and Oscar gave him an octopus.; decodable text: Doc in the Fog by: Shelia Cushman; assessment worksheet
1. Say: Today we are going to learn about the letter o so we can recognize the letter in speech and to better read words with the letter o. Short o says /ah/ (/o/). When I hear the /o/ sound, I think of being at the doctor's office and having to open my mouth to say /ah/. Can you say /ah/ like you are at the doctor? Say: "Ah, Ah, Open Up!" Good job! Let's say that phrases a few more times and notice the shape of your mouth. Your mouth is shaped like an o and your lips should not be touching.
2. Say: Before we learn about the spelling of /o/ we are going to listen for it in some words. Our tongue tickler is: Oliver had an operation in October, and Oscar gave him an octopus. When I listen for /o/ in words, I hear o say /o/, and my mouth is opened up like being at the doctor. [Make voice gesture for /o/.] Let me show you first: stop. I heard /o/ and felt my mouth open up wide. [Point at mouth open up.] There is a short o in stop. Now let's see if it's in the word home. I didn't hear the /o/ sound like at the doctor and I didn't feel my mouth open wide. Now you try some words. If you hear /o/ say "Ah, Ah Open Up." If you don't hear it give me a thumbs down. [Say words bump, pot, bet, plot, block, pig.]
3. Say: That is the sound it makes, now we're going to look at the spelling. You spell /o/ with the letter o. [Write o on the board.] The only letter needed to make the sound is the letter o. What if I want to spell the word flock? "The birds flock together to the south." Flock means a group of the same number of animals are together to eat or herded together. To spell "flock" in letterboxes, I need to stretch out the word to know how many phonemes are in it. /f//l//o//ck/. I need 4 boxes. I heard that /o/ was just before the /ck/ so I'm going to put o in the third box. The word starts with a b, so I'll put that in the first box. Here is the tricky part. Let's say it slow. /f//l//o//ck/. I think I heard /l/ so I'll put that after the letter f. All that's left is the /ck/ at the end. Hmm, what two letters at the end of words make the /ck/ sound? Oh that's right, ck, so I'll put that in the last box. Do you have any questions about what I just did for all of you?
4. Say: Now that we've learned the spelling, you're going to spell some words in letterboxes. Start out with three letterboxes for the word hot. "I do not like hot weather." What should go in the first letterbox? [Students answer.] What about the second? I'll be checking as I walk around the room to see if you got the spelling right. Keep three letterboxes, you'll need them for the next word too. Listen for the beginning sound you'll put in the first box, and listen for the /o/ sound. The word is mop, "I used a mop last night on my kitchen floor." [Leave time for students to spell word.] Let's check and see what you got. Watch how I spell it on the board, m-o-p. Make sure you spelled it like I did. If you did not spell it the way I did, raise your hand for me to see what you did wrong. Next you'll need four letterboxes for the word clock, "I looked at the clock to learn how to tell time." [Leave time for spelling.] It is time to check our answers. [Let student volunteer to come up and spell it on the board.] Good job! Did everyone get the same answer or something different? Make sure that you put /ck/ in one box because they make one sound. Next word is frog, "The frog is green and sits on a lily pad." [Allow time for spelling.] It is time to check our answers. [Have volunteer come up.] Our next word is spot, "The dog has a spot over his right eye." [Allow time for spelling.] Let's check our work. [Volunteer comes up.] Good job, one letter in each box because this word all the phonemes are separate. For our last word, lets' try five phonemes. Get five boxes out. The word is stomp, "I like to stomp in rain puddles." It is time to check our last word. [Demonstrate up on board.] It starts with /s/ so that goes in the first box. Then, I heard /s//t/, t goes in the second box. Then there's our /o/ sound, it goes in the third box. So we've got /s//t//o/, then I hear /m//p/. I think /m/ goes in the fourth box and /p/ will go in the last box. Good job class!! Does anyone have any questions before we move on to the next activity?
5. Say: Now we're going to read the words we just spelled, but first I'll show you how to read a hard one. [Display the word stomp on the board and model reading.] First, I see the o in the middle by itself. That must mean it makes the /o/ sound. Next, I'm going to put the beginning sounds with it, I see /s//t/, so that makes /st/. Then blend it with the o, /sto/. Now all that's left is the end. I hear /m//p/. Blend that to make /mp/, then add the beginning /stomp/; stomp. Now it's your turn to try. [Students read words together, and then have individual students read some of the words.]
6. Say: We have spelled and read words with the /o/ sound, now we are going to read a book called Doc in the Fog by Shelia Cushman. Give a booktalk: This story is about a wizard who keeps turning objects into different things using magic. One of the objects uses some magic on the wizard. What will happen to the wizard? You will have to read to find out.
Get with a person sitting next to you and take turns reading Doc in the Fog to see what happens to the wizard. [The students will take turns reading every other page. The teacher should walk around the class to monitor progress and behavior. Once all the pairs are finished, reread the story as a class and stop before turning the page to discuss the story.]
7. Say: That was a silly story. What happened to the wizard? (Allow students to answer.) Correct, he disappeared. Now that we have learned that o=/o/, I what to see what you know. You're going to find out which word goes with which picture and write them on the worksheet in the blank next to the picture. Remember to read all of the words first and then put them in the blank by the picture they match. If you finish, check your work to make sure it's correct.

barkman at the Winnipeg Art Gallery
Barkman exhibits new glass fibre reinforced concrete concepts
September 8, 2011 - September represented a milestone month for barkman as we unveiled our new glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) site furnishing lines to select architects and designers at the Winnipeg Art Gallery rooftop terrace.
The product lines "kurve" and "cube" introduces unique designs and concepts that employ the strength and durability of reinforced concrete.
The Kurve line is focused on creating smooth and sleek lines. The ribbon-like design of all the site furnishings in the series creates a modern yet organic feel suitable for residential and commercial applications alike. The Kurve seating components incorporate a low profile cushion that brings warmth, color and comfort to the design aesthetic.
The Cube line is focused on maintaining simplicity in its aesthetic while embracing complexity in its design. The linear right-angled design of all the site furnishings in the series creates a simple, modern appeal. This line has a vibrant character shown through the unique accent spaces and LED lighting within the Cube seating and the Cube tall planter. Cube is the ideal selection for commercial opportunities.
"We're excited to break into this industry in this manner" said Alan Barkman, President of barkman. "We're curious to see the different ways designers will use our GFRC process for their future projects."
At the end of the event a draw was held for a few of the pieces. Here is what happened...
The lines on display featured 14 pieces which ranged from GFRC coffee tables and loungers to planters and bollards at prices ranging from $295 to $1,795. These lines will be available to the public in the coming year.

LAWYER Richard Metcalfe has accused Rössing Uranium Limited of administering "jungle justice" after the uranium giant allegedly dismissed its engineering services manager unprocedurally.
Shambweka Henry Chikililwa, employed at the mine for over 30 years, was informed on June 2012 that he was fired - allegedly due to poor work performance.
Chikililwa had received a good performance rating three months earlier.
In a letter addressed to the Arandis mine's managing director, Chris Salisbury, Metcalfe wrote that Chikililwa was surprised and shocked to learn of his dismissal.
"We have consulted with our client and have perused the disciplinary policy of Rössing Uranium dated November 18 2008 and have discovered that unsatisfactory work performance is a schedule two offence. This is followed with disciplinary proceedings after having followed procedures for poor work performance."
Metcalfe charges that the maximum possible action would be to issue a written final warning.
All these procedures in its own disciplinary code appear to have been ignored, he said.
Bernard Morwe, who informed Chikililwa that he was dismissed, was guilty of "specious and fraudulent allegations" against the engineering services manager, the lawyer claimed.
He asked Salisbury to "personally intervene in this matter without it having to be referred to the Labour Commissioner in order to ensure that justice is done to our client. Mr Morwe's actions contravene every tenet of the labour law as well as your own disciplinary policy".
The lawyer referred to the action as "jungle justice which has no place in Namibia in 2012".
"Our client will remit a copy of this correspondence to the board of directors in London for their personal attention. We await your confirmation that this flouting of the laws of Namibia will not proceed."
All Jerome Mutumba, the mine's spokesperson, was prepared to say on Tuesday was: to confirm that Chikililwa was an employee of RUL. "Any employee-related matter enjoys the highest level of confidentiality in the company, therefore I am not at liberty to comment on the contents of the said letter," he said.
Late last month, Rio Tinto group chief executive Tom Albanese dropped a bombshell when he announced that employee costs across the group would be slashed by ten per cent, including at Rössing Uranium.
Many of the group's employees may lose their jobs within the next three months, The Namibian reported on June 29.
In the letter Albanese wrote to the group, he stated that support and service costs had escalated by 30 per cent in recent years "and were due to increase even more this year unless we took immediate action".
He announced in February already that no new support and service staff may be appointed and travel and consultancy costs should be cut.
Rössing spokesperson Mutumba said at the time that it was too early to say exactly what would happen at Rössing.
Asked whether there would be layoffs at the mine, he replied: "I cannot say that. Like others in the industry, Rio Tinto is facing the challenge of increasing costs. We are actively seeking ways to tackle this.
"This includes a programme of reductions in service and support costs across the global organisation, which have been rising sharply in recent times. We cannot do this effectively without reducing employee costs."
About a connection between a recent break-in at his house and the imminent retrenchments, Salisbury on Tuesday said: "This is not a Rössing matter, but a personal one. I categorically reject any linkage between the break-in and any Rössing business."
According to a senior Police officer at the town, an unknown number of suspects broke into the Salisbury home between 21h30 on June 6 and 01h30 on June 7. The suspects fled with a silver watch and an iPhone.
By yesterday, there had been no arrests.

Dolphins' Starks Talks About His Contract
News Desk
Follow @ SportsTalkFLA
Source: Adam H. Beasley, Miami Herald
In Mike Pouncey, Randy Starks has more than a teammate and a locker room neighbor. He has a public-relations enforcer.
One could argue that Starks is having the best season of his excellent career. But with the 10th-year defensive tackle, that's always just part of the story.
Already this season, he has held out of spring workouts, stewed over not starting and flipped the bird to the sidelines after getting a sack. And some — if not all — of these headline-grabbing events have been related to his contract saga.
He's on a one-year deal and wants a long-term extension. But that's not happening anytime soon; the Dolphins have not made any overtures about an extension in a long time.

Breakfast Burrito for Day or Night
A fast and reliable classic that couldn't be easier — or tastier
To make a more substantial burrito, add any of the following: sautéed spinach or other greens, diced then fried or steamed potatoes, or roasted potato wedges with red chile, or pinto beans doctored with additional chile and cilantro.
1 large tortilla, preferably whole wheat
2 or 3 fresh eggs
1 tablespoon butter
Grated jack or cheddar cheese or crumbled goat cheese
Put a skillet large enough to hold a tortilla over medium heat to warm the pan. Add the tortilla when you start to cook the eggs. Keep an eye on the tortilla as the eggs cook and turn it once so that it heats on both sides.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs with a few pinches salt and a tablespoon of water. Melt the butter in a second, smaller pan. Once the butter has ceased to foam, turn the heat to medium low and pour in the eggs. Cook stirring slowly but constantly until the eggs are almost as done as you like, then throw the cheese over the top and remove them from heat.
Slide the tortilla onto a plate, mound the eggs on half the tortilla, add salsa, if using. Fold in half, then cut into three wedges. Eat with warm beans, if desired.

Could Ringback Tones Become the Internet's Next Hot Affiliate Program?
Posted on: 03 Oct, 2008, by: Chris In: Ringback Tones
It was about one year ago when Comverse, a U.S.-based software and systems developer in the telecommunications industry, announced they were teaming up with T-Mobile Germany and Jamba to launch their new ringback tone platform – Fun Broker – in Germany. The press release, picked up by media outlets worldwide, probably went unnoticed by most if not all affiliate marketers. Take notice now because Comverse's technology may soon catapult ringback tones into affiliate program stardom.
Fun Broker "Changes the Game"
The Comverse technology is straightforward – a platform (branded "Fun Broker") that enables off-deck portals, such as Jamba, to sell ringback tones on behalf of their wireless partners (T-Mobile Germany, in this case). Jamba leans on its extensive experience as a digital entertainment portal (selling ringtones, mobile games, cell phone wallpaper, and such), and its huge customer reach, and then adds ringback tones to the mix of digital entertainment offerings. Jamba is already seeing positive results (Webinar).
Prior to the launch of Fun Broker, T-Mobile Germany relied on their own on-portal marketing efforts to promote ringback tones to their customers; and this remains the case for other wireless carriers worldwide who have not yet adopted Fun Broker-like technologies and found similar off-deck partners. Lee Fenton, COO of Jamba, believes "operators have too much to do already to successfully take on the entire burden of constant promotion of ringback tones."
Ringback tones, unlike ringtones, have always been sold on-portal by carriers because the technology requires that ringback tones be stored on the carrier's network, whereas ringtones are saved directly to your phone. Third-party affiliates could not market ringback tones to their unique customer base because the technology just didn't exist to sell direct to consumers. Fun Broker changes the game, for the better.
Ringback Tone Sales On Track to Reach $4.7 Billion Annually
The adoption of Comverse's technology, and the parternship with T-Mobile, now allows Jamba to do what they do best: utilize their market-savvy to sell digital content (ringback tones, for example) to their consumers in Germany. And in case you haven't heard, the market for ringback tones is heating up.
Ringback tones have always played second fiddle to ringtones in annual worldwide revenue, but this may be changing. According to digital media research firm MultiMedia Intelligence, "ringback tones are on track to become the most attractive mobile content category by 2012," with global revenue "nearly tripling to $4.7 Billion." Frank Dickson, Chief Research Officer at MultiMedia Intelligence makes the point that ringback tones offer "a winning combination of consumer popularity, and minimal impact from DRM or piracy." Ringtones, on the other hand, are "facing challenges" according to Mr. Dickson, "consumers increasingly are able to create their own ringtones."
Opportunities Abound for Affiliate Marketers
The carrier-network-only technology, which has limited the growth in ringback tone sales, is now seen as a big reason to reconsider them as premium content with a bright future. Take this optimism, add-in the growing demand from consumers, and combine it with the Fun Broker platform and you have a "perfect storm" of opportunities for affiliate marketers.
As portals, such as Jamba, open-up these ringback tone sales channels to their own affiliate networks savvy affiliate marketers will have a potential $4.7 Billion market to participate in - a market that wasn't available to them prior to the introduction of Comverse's Fun Broker platform. Just imagine the possibilities!

GOVERNMENT is this month expected to unbundle ZESA Holdings into three separate entities, The Financial Gazette's Companies & Markets can report.
The move is meant to clean up a huge debt on the power utility's balance sheet and create a level playing field for independent power producers to help meet electricity demand.
Energy and Power Development Minister Elton Mangoma (pictured) confirmed the unbundling on Monday, saying the new structure would see the creation of National Grid Services Company (NGSC) responsible for the transmission of power, marketing and systems operations.
NGSC will inherit all of ZESA 'legacy' debts and will be 100 per cent government owned.
He said the other two companies would be the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), already a subsidiary of ZESA responsible for electricity generation, and the Zimbabwe Distribution Company taking charge of the distribution of electricity.
"The new structure will see the creation of a new company NGSC, ZPC and Zimbabwe Distribution Company. These companies will be on a flat level. There will be no more ZESA Holdings.
"ZESA has what we call a huge 'legacy' debt. Each of the separate units has got some debt. In total, ZESA has a debt of over US$400 million. These debts were incurred long before ZESA was first unbundled in 2002.
"If we are going into projects with these debts, potential investors will look at the balance sheet and say this company is not good. So we want to have a safe way of dealing with that debt.
"By end of this December, we will be able to show a ZPC balance sheet which is clean. If it is clean we can now do business, which is our intention," said Mangoma.
The Minister also said it was important to set up a mechanism which would create a level playing field for independent power producers.
"We are now going to have independent power producers in the market so it's important that we create a level playing field.
Mangoma added that the country's electricity law would be amended next year to enable the transfer of 'legacy' debt.
"The transfer of the legacy debt requires the current law to be amended so that if we are going to have any challenge from any creditor, it will be covered in the law. But the change of the shareholding does not require the law," said Mangoma.
Mangoma said workers at the power utility should not panic as their future was secure.
"There is a lot of uncertainty and anxiety at the moment," said Mangoma. "They (workers) are unsure whether they have a job or their posts will disappear in the new structure. There is always this fear of losing jobs when a restructuring exercise of this magnitude is taking place. This exercise does not however necessarily mean that the changes we are bringing are going to see people losing their jobs.
"The formation of NGSC requires a lot of personnel so a lot are going there. More importantly ZPC is going to do a lot of projects. Already there is the expansion of Kariba and Hwange Power stations, Gairezi, solar plant and we are pursuing the Lupane gas project. All this increased activities require more people.
"But, truly there is going to be some changes for those who were sitting at ZESA Holdings and thinking they were above everyone else. They have to come to the party and be equal to others.
Minister Mangoma however, could not be drawn into discussing the fate of group chief executive officer, Josh Chifamba.
"We have already spoken to him and he fully knows and understands what is going to happen to him. I cannot reveal that now," said Mangoma.

Recorded late in 2001 at a Covenant Life Church parent-youth meeting, this fifth clip in our "C.J. + Carolyn on Parenting" series provides an opportunity for the couple to explain some of their most humbling mistakes. Grant Layman's question was simple and direct: "What sins have you personally confronted in yourselves in regard to parenting?"
5. Fear + Unbelief in Parenting (3:46)
Other clips in the series:
1. Gospel-Centered Parenting + Young Children (9:27)
2. The Gospel + Parental Sin (2:39)
3. The Gospel + Discipline (5:37)
4. Teaching Children to Love the Church (10:59)
Scripture calls parents to study their children, to identify and address sin patterns in their lives, to discipline, and teach them with the goal of raising them "in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4 ESV). But what about when parents sin against their children? How should parents respond? Do parents excuse themselves because the child provoked the sin? Do they justify their sin because they have parental authority over the child? Do they simply ignore their own sin?
This second audio clip originates from the same setting as the first: an unplanned Q&A session with C.J. and Carolyn during a Sovereign Grace conference in Gilbert, Arizona (Nov. 2005). In it C.J. explains how parents may approach these situations, remain in authority over their children, yet do this with a humble heart informed by the gospel.
2. The gospel + parental sins (2:39)

The Hobbit, the Moose, and the Dragon under the Mountain♎ | Female | Straight
Hello, random person who has somehow stumbled onto my page. I'm guessing that for some odd reason you like my art, or you're just a weird stalker who hates me. I have a name, but I'd much rather go by Moss, Mossy, Mossfire, Moose (if you're iCAVAlIA) or Mossy Moo (if you're QUEENKODI).

Projection clocks for the weary traveler
When you are a weathered traveler of the world, one of the most difficult things to keep track of is the time. Time zones get crossed multiple times a week, and while this doesn't prove to be a problem while you're awake, as soon as you shut your eyes after a long day of traveling, the Sand Man has caught you in his trap. Then, upon your awakening, your eyes are shrouded with a bit of dust and it's difficult to get your bearings. Where did your flight touch down today? What time zone are you in? Where did you place your glasses? Where's the nearest hamburger joint? These are the burning questions that weigh heavily on your mind in times like these.
Fortunately, there's a great travel companion for those who easily lose their bearings: projection clocks with temperature. Projection clocks are ideal for travelers who find themselves waking up over and over again in dark hotel rooms; by illuminating the ceiling with the current time in red, it is impossible to not at least know what time is upon waking. The temperature feature of these clocks also gives you an idea of how to prepare yourself before dashing out the door for a meeting or presentation. Gone are the days of groping about your bed in order to find a lamp switch or cell phone.
The helpful projection clock with temperature is something that every traveler ought to have in his briefcase when on the go. Everybody has their eccentricities when traveling. Some people bring decoration or stuffed animals that remind them that this is their temporary home, but a portable clock serves a much greater purpose. Its functionality keeps you sharp and fast acting even if you aren't familiar with your new surroundings.

Diamond Broussard is a senior at Skyline High School in Oakland.
In light of our economic crisis, many college applicants, including myself, are feeling the burn. Students have been turned away from schools or wait-listed due to preservation or lack of funds by colleges. More students are applying to their own state colleges and others than ever before. The effects of these events have left many students undecided or unsure about their futures.
I found myself in oblivion when I realized just how much the economic crisis would affect college acceptances. I applied to about 13 schools. Though my GPA is average, my credentials are great, so I knew that I'd have a shot at the top state schools. I felt as though my chances were even better when two of these state schools sent me a supplement to find out more about me. So when I was rejected by them both, I was confused. Why? That was the one question on my mind. Continue Reading

Another Quick Note from WFR On Island Time in Paradise – Prickly Bay
Category : Island Time
It is a great day to be alive. Watched the meteor showers this morning. There are few high clouds floating over the southern Caribbean and the temperature is in the low 80s. We found a pastry shop at daylight and had coffee and scones…end of a great night and beginning to a great day. We are back on the boat in Prickly Bay and I am about to find a spot to curl up and sleep for an hour or two and then I am off exploring an island I haven't been on for more than 5 years.

Are we all Filnered out?
"I have known him for years. I have been alone with him and he never laid a hand on me. I support him 100 percent," said Seiderman, a retiree who has lived in La Jolla for more than 50 years. "I think the good things he started will stay in place. It's just a shame he's going to be out of a job."
He may be out, but Filner didn't go quietly or particularly gracefully. In Friday's mood-swinging resignation announcement before the City Council, the mayor apologized to the citizens of San Diego and "all the women I offended." At the same time, the former Freedom Rider and civil-rights activist slammed his detractors' "lynch-mob mentality," an inflammatory comparison that ignited thoughtful responses from people who were watching the whole mess unfold.
"I was doing the recall petitions, and I don't consider myself part of a lynch mob," said Sharon Bay, a Serra Mesa resident who monitored the resignation proceedings on TV while walking the treadmill at the Hazard Center YMCA. "I consider myself someone who is trying to be an informed voter and an informed citizen."
A few rows behind her, Jean-Paul Hope was powering through his cross-trainer workout and processing Filner's mixed-bag goodbye.
"In the years he spent fighting for people's rights, he's seen that (lynch-mob) mentality and he thought they had that mentality," said Hope, who lives in Mission Valley. "They already judged him and they already executed him, and I didn't think that was right."
Which does not mean he wants Filner to stay. With the breath he had left, Hope put in his pitch for a clean slate.
"He's gone," Hope said. "Let it heal and move on."

If you do not want a martini glass, just omit the cinnamon stick and base part.
* I personally hate things that are sticky, so to my surprise, this project was not sticky. Hardened sugar does not stick.
Step 1: Ingredients/Supplies
6 red apples (red delicious)
1 Large Granny Smith Apple
5-6 Cinnamon Sticks
1 Teaspoon of Allspice
1 Teaspoon of Pumpkin Spice
1 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
5 Cloves
A Pot
Wooden Spoon
Step 2: Make Juice
My juicer had a large opening, so I cut the apples up into fourths, I did not pit them, but you can if you want... again, that depends on the power of your juicer.
Put a pot under the juicer, push the apples through and collect the apple juice. Taste it, if it doesn't taste like apple juice, then you should probably check to see if you cut off any of your fingers by accident.
A thick foam will appear on top of the juice, spoon it off so that you are left with just the juice.
Mistie Ann
What exactly is the sticky factor on this? I get all freaky-outtie when it comes to sticky stuff on my skin.
And adults would like to just drink it. ;-)
Instant party favorite for all ages!
However I may simplify this considerably by just cutting a flat bottom for the apples and leaving the stems and feet off. I think it depends on how big/coordinated your crowd is and how good you are at gluing fruit and cinnamon sticks together with caramel.
The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that it'd be a good idea to save the stem and foot for a very small and lightly drinking crowd!!

tem values provides greater justification for the conservation of ecosystems. A corollary of this observation is the point made by Aldo Leopold that the first rule of a tinkerer is to not throw away any of the parts. The ecological engineer is nature's tinkerer.
Ecological engineering is not the same as environmental engineering, a respected field that has been well established in universities and the workplace since the early 1960s and was called sanitary engineering before that. Environmental engineers are certainly involved in the application of scientific principles to solve pollution problems, but the concepts usually involve energy and re-source-intensive operations such as settling tanks, scrubbers, filters, and chemical precipitators. Certainly, some techniques such as trickling falters could be considered ecological engineered approaches when they were conceived, but the field has gone far beyond designing ecosystems. It is certainly possible that ecological engineering will develop in a partnership with environmental engineering, but the two fields remain distinct today. For interesting discussions of the differences and similarities between these two fields, see McCutcheon and Walski (1994), Mitsch (1994), and Odum (1994).
Ecological engineering and its synonym "ecotechnology" should also not be confused with biotechnology, which involves genetic manipulation to produce new strains and organisms to carry out specific functions. Some of the differences between ecotechnology and biotechnology relate to their basic principles, control, design, and ultimate possible costs to society (see Mitsch and Jørgensen, 1989b). Nevertheless, a comparison can be made between the development of ecotechnology and biotechnology. Ecotechnology is almost at the stage where biotechnology was 20 years ago. Molecular biology was just beginning then to establish the basic science and techniques for the yet unborn field of biotechnology. Today, ecology is recognized as a fundamental science and is now developing the ecosystem-level tools to develop the field of ecotechnology. Despite the progress made in biotechnology (usually involving genetic manipulation of species), many researchers and environmental managers believe that it will not be a major factor in solving the world's environmental problems and that there may be some adverse environmental consequences from its development. Ecotechnology, which uses the existing array of species, communities, and ecosystems of the earth, may receive more attention as limitations of biotechnology are experienced.

Leg of Lamb
I am planning on making a large, bone-in, roast leg of lamb for Easter this year. I am serving 10-11 guests, so I told my butcher for an 8-10lb leg (I don't mind some leftovers). I plan on marinating the lamb overnight in a rub consisting of a Moroccan-style spice blend, garlic and olive oil. This is my first time roasting a whole leg and had a few questions (I have searched the web and this site but there is varying information out there).
I would like to utilize a slow-roast method, perhaps blasting the leg at 450 for the first 15 minutes then reducing the oven temperature to 250 and roasting until medium-rare/medium. My preference is to have some medium slices for those who prefer their lamb a little more done and some medium-rare pieces for the others (and me). I am thinking of pulling the leg out when it hits 130, and with 5-10 degrees of carryover I should get to a nice medium-rare to medium. I would let the lamb rest for 15-20 minutes and then carve.
My biggest question is timing. I understand timing can vary depending on the oven, the piece of meat,etc., but for planning purposes I would like some rough estimate of when it might be done. I would probably check the meat's temp 3/4 of the way into the estimated cooking time to make sure everything is on track.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
For a leg that big (4kg), I'd give it a 40 minute sizzle at 220 (as recommended in the River Cottage Meat Book). And then turn the temperature down to 160 and continue to cook for around 15 minutes per 500g. That should get you meat that's nicely pink in the middle and a bit more done on the outside.
As with most folk here, we don't generally cook to an internal temperature, preferring the method as above. The Meat Book does, however, give 55 - 60 as being the temperature for the similar result.
Enjoy dinner. Lamb is our most often eaten meat and there's almost nothing better than a roast leg. Almost - but a roast shoulder has more fat/taste.
re: Harters
Anyone else use an even lower roasting temperature (the above would roast at 320) - maybe at 225 or 250?
re: Harters
Nothing "sizzles" at 220 F. Be very overt about using celcius temps. I made the assumption based on the metric weights you use, but us Yankees can easily overlook that and end up with warm raw meat.
Especially if you're shelling out for a whole leg of lamb, I encourage you to procure a probe thermometer with alarm and timer such as:
Will give you an invaluable ability to monitor the temperature status and pace of increase for all kinds of meat roasts, turkeys, etc.
I've also used it through kettle grill vents to warn me if the air temp is getting too high for a low-and-slow smoked brisket or the like, when I don't want the temp above 270 or so. Also means I don't have to open the grill at all and lose heat. Same applies with ovens.

Your plan is fine.....but my process is slightly different:
* Roast @ 225*
* Rest and Hold in the oven @ 140* for one hour minimum, but I prefer 2 hours.
* 30 minutes before serving, raise the thermostat to 250* for 20 minutes, then raise the thermostat to 450* to give it some char or a crust.
* No need for a second rest and you can slice immediately.
My process is to remove the roast from the fridges a couple of hours in advance. Approximately 4-6 hours in the oven and then 2 to rest.
Have a look at the following thread and you can see and read fldhkybnva's recent experience and results. I believe she provides some pictures if I can recall correctly.
re: fourunder
Thanks Fourunder. A couple of questions. For such a large roast (8-10lbs) would you expect this to take closer to 4 hours at 225?
Also, you suggest letting the leg rest in the oven at 140 for 2hrs - therefore 140 is your target temperature? Also, I'm not sure I trust my oven to maintain such a low temperature and not be going +/- 20degrees - is there a risk that the lamb overcooks during the 1-2 hour resting period?
re: winegod
My experience is that a longer rest of any roast only improves the tenderness and texture of any type of meat, other than chickens. If you read any of my past suggestions followed by others, you would notice that all have appreciated the results. With that said, when a roast comes to temperature, whether your oven can maintain the low warm setting of 140 or not, instead of removing from the oven and placing on the counter, or transferring to a insulated cooler....I just find it is much easier to hold in the oven. There is not increased mess to worry about and you do not need to cover with foil. If you do not need your oven right away to cook other items, simply turn your oven off and hold in the oven until you need to proceed to the warm-up phase and blast. If you need the oven for other items, then remove the roast when needed and cover if the roast will be out of the oven for up to an hour.
I would agree with others that Medium is probably the safest target temperature zone to expect a great result. With even smaller sized lamb roast with bone-in, I find the higher end of Medium-Rare, rather than the lower, is more preferable by most, i.e., 135 as opposed to 125. You could expect the roast to raise 5-7* during the resting period, based on that, I would plan for the roast to take 5 hours to hit 135-140*+... plus the 2 hour rest for preparation. If the roast hits the temperature sooner, no worries, as the longer rest is preferable. In most commercial kitchens, it is both common and practical to finish and hold meats to up to, and past four hours for service. The benefit of the longer rest allows for the meat to mimic the dry aging process to allow the enzymes to break down the meat naturally to make it tender and concentrate the meat flavor. A long slow roast is necessary to do this and it cannot be achieved by roasting with a temperature above 250*. The longer slower roast will also allow the meat to cook closer to the bone to avoid and unsightly blood for others. The longer rest will also ensure minimal if not zero bleeding of any juices.
With regards to over cooking...for any roasting, once the roast hits it's target temperature and you reduce the oven below your roasting setting, e.g. from 225 to 140, the cooking process stops for the meat, but the meat temperature will increase in what is known as the holdover or carryover effect. As indicated earlier, with 225 you can expect 5-7* at most. When you begin the warm-up phase at 250, you are not cooking up the meat in any way. You are just bringing the meat up to a more pleasant serving temperature. The blast is only necessary if you like some char, texture, or extra color..
As for the target temperature....I would do at least 135, but not 142.
re: fourunder
Thanks, this is very helpful. I will be trying this technique out!
re: fourunder
Yesterday I wanted to test my oven's ability to maintain such a low temp like 140. I set it to 140 and after 15 or 20 minutes opened the oven door quickly and stuck my thermapen in there (I don't have an oven thermometer). It was reading 88-89. Not sure why there is this difference. I assume I can find the right setting (maybe 180-200) that would actually get it to 140, however I would be nervous about the oven getting too hot while the leg rested. So, if I let the leg rest at the 140 setting or maybe slightly higher ( which would really be an oven temp of under 100) for 1-2 hours, does this have any impact? Would I have a longer warm up period? Also, when does food safety become an issue? Ie could you theoretically let a roast rest at under 140 (in the "danger zone" of bacteria growth) for more than 3 hours?
re: winegod
A thermapen will not read the temperature in your oven accurately.
re: winegod
For a temp that low (below boiling) you could heat a vessel of water and use your thermapen on that.
re: fourunder
Have roasted many a leg, but temps and time have varried from what you describe above..abiet have reached the same level of doness
I love new techniques, and am going to give this a whirl...sounds simple enough...
With respect to measuring temps....go out and buy an oven thermometer and an instant read for internal temps...It might cost about $20 but a great investment....they are portable and should be part of your basic equipment.
I have never met a cook that can tell exactly the internal temp of a thick piece of meat....
re: fourunder
I used this method a few weeks ago and it's great to echo fourunder's link above.
re: fourunder
I'm planning to do a very small grass fed boned/rolled leg roast. I assume this will work, I just have to figure out the timing.
My oven won't go down to 140*. I think 175* is the lowest setting. So, how do I hold it for the 1-2 hours?
re: onrushpam
Without know more specifics about your roast....some say, generally a rolled roast will take longer to hit temperature, but the shape will be the main concern, e.g, a 6 inch across rolled round shape roast would take longer to heat the center than a 3 inch wide flatter shape and longer in length. The weight could be the same, but the variables are different...If your roast is smaller than 3 pounds, you may not have to wait the full two hours, as the thickness of the meat does not need as much time to recover since it will probable thin. I would suggest a good pounding before you roll the meat.
As for the oven issue, you could crack the oven door open which would bring the temperature down from 170....or you could shut the oven off and cover with a pot or bowl inside the oven.
Have a look at the following thread and you can see how I hold roast with a stainless steel bowl and large towels outside of the oven.....although the towels are not shown, just cover the bowl and keep it out of any drafts.
re: fourunder
Do you have a preferred way to season lamb? I usually do the common rosemary, thyme, dijon, garlic, pepper and olive oil but I was looking for something perhaps different but that still lets the lamb flavor shine through. I'm pondering another leg for Easter but given the minimal lambiness of the last leg I might forego but if anyone has good ideas I might give that a shot.
re: fldhkybnva
Most lamb today lacks any gameyness. Either buy mutton or only season lamb with salt and pepper. Never marinade, unless you don't like the taste of lamb.
re: MGZ
I'm with MGZ. I'd never marinate lamb and only usually use just salt & pepper - occasionally I stud it with rosemary & garlic. The secret is finding a good supplier - I buy direct from the farm. I know that it's not killed too young and I know they hang it for 10 days after slaughter.
I'm talking here about a simple roast of leg or shoulder, of course. Cooking lamb in the style of different cuisines calls for different preparations - for example, if we're having a Cypriot kleftiko, then it's going to need a bit of a rub with cinnamon and coriander or, travelling a bit further east, it might want a short marinade in yoghurt & garlic.
re: Harters
I'm going with you this weekend Harters, no marinade! I enjoy the taste of lamb so hopefully I'll like this way as much as my usual marinade method.
re: fldhkybnva
Interesting. I always think of NZ lamb being very bland in its taste - so bland that I never buy it. Different tastes, eh?
re: Harters
Sadly, Harter, NZ lamb can be slightly more full flavored than most commercially produced US lamb. Each, however, pales in comparison to the flavor* available from animals raised in the UK. The American palate for lamb, as well as pork, for the past near half century, is rather timid.
* The "u" was consciously omitted.
re: MGZ
MGZ - yep, I've read enough Chowhound posts to understand many American palates on the subject - either not liking well flavoured meat or simply not liking lamb at all. It's a meat I've always avoided when visiting America, but did try some from Colorado on a trip last year and thought it was pretty decent - certainly nicer than NZ.
re: Harters
The more "gameyness" the better for me, IMO the description of game-y often is what I associated with the wonderful natural flavor of lamb.
re: fldhkybnva
If you've got a Whole Foods nearby, they sometimes carry NZ lamb.
re: Isolda
Yea, that's where I got it. If I do lamb this weekend I was pondering the local instead of NZ.
re: fldhkybnva
Mutton will certainly be harder to find. In NJ/NY, you can find Halal lamb which is closer in taste to what I think of as lamb. Nonetheless, if all you can get is all you can get, and you want to taste lamb, don't overseason and certainly don't marinade.
re: coll
When I have grilled lamb with a Greek style marinade, it has been delicious. When I barbecue lamb on the offset, it is delicious. Nonetheless, either approach loses the true "lambiness" of the meat. In fact, each approach is designed to cover up the gaminess of the taste of lamb as it used to be. If you want to truly taste lamb, buy mutton or Halal, season with only salt and pepper, and roast slowly as discussed above.
re: MGZ
but, mutton is a grownup sheep while lamb is a baby sheep.
the beauty of lamb is that it is milder than the strong mutton taste by virtue of it being baby....not quite but similar to the concept of veal vs. beef.
mind you, i like both mutton and lamb. i do lamb for the kinder gentler flavor.
re: ritabwh
I like a hearty lamb flavor so maybe I should give mutton a shot.
re: fourunder
I think around here it's all local from Maryland which I guess might be worth a shot.
re: fldhkybnva
I'm a Kosher Salt & Fresh Cracked Pepper guy......garlic and olive oil. If I wanted to get fancy or if I had leftover herbs....Marjoram, Rosemary or Thyme. Greek Kabobs would get lemon and oregano.
It's not about timing but, internal temp. Use a probe thermometer and after blasting at 450, lower to 350 and cook till internal temo is 120, remove and let rest for 30min, it'll be perfect.
Sounds like you've got it down. The only thing/s I'd add would be to poke a number of thin knife cuts over the lamb and push whole cloves of garlic and some bits of fresh rosemary in the cuts before marinading. Bring the meat to room temp first.
What time is the meal and should I bring anything?

After 2 months "working" with Apple to solve this problem with the 3G, they called me today to said me that the problem is my carrier, Movistar Argentina. In my opinion that it's not possible, because, before upgrading to iOS 6.1 I don't have problems, but when I upgrade I can't connect normally to the 3G network.
In my opinion the solution it's going to an Apple Store and change the iPhone for another one.

A mi me paso lo mismo con Claro Argentina y se soluciono con la nueva version del software de Claro. Desde que actualizaron el software a la version 14.1 el telefono vuela y no tuvo un solo inconveniente mas. Estaba en la misma situacion y me empezo a funcionar mal con el upgrade a la 6.1.1 y hoy anda realmente muy bien.
I solved my problem when Claro Argentina updated the carrier software to the new version 14.1. Actually my iphone work very well . This situation started when i made the update to 6.1.1 and it was solved when my carrier made the carrier software update.

Re: 3G Issue IOS 6.1 - Iphone 5 in response to nath.02.28
I had the same problem with my iPhone5 with the Vodafone network in the UK. I tried everything I could think of and then everything I read in this thread. The only way I've managed to force the phone to connect with 3G is to go to Settings->Carrier, turn off Automatic and select my carrier from the list that (eventually) appeared. The data connection indicator changed from "O" to "3G" almost immediately. I then switched Automatic back on (still on 3G), turned WiFi on, and then off (still on 3G). My next test will be when I take the phone out of range of the 3G service and then back in...

I am one of the user who experience the 3G connection issue in the first place when 6.1.x released.. Been complained here and there even on this forum.. U can check back the previous page..
But now my problem solved already.. There is no more connection issue and whatsoever.. I can surf flawlessly right now..
The method on how to solve this is through your network carrier... My network carrier recently updated its settings to LTE.. And now my iphone5 is running by LTE... And the 3G issue completely disappear..
I suggest to you guys, don't change your phone, this is not hardware failure, it is depend on your network carrier..
It is not apple fault,... The update by apple is a must so that all iphone 5 run by LTE..
So push your network carrier to update to LTE.. This is based on my experience as i had previously having trouble with my Iphone 5....

Tourism Minister Sylvia Masebo has once again lashed out at United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema charging that the opposition leader was full of "cheap politics."
Speaking during a campaign to drum up support for the PF candidate ahead of the by election, Masebo said MMD was a better party which the PF would work with.
"UPND is a difficult party to work with, at least MMD is even easier you can work with them. The politics of the UPND are difficult under HH. They have politics of fighting, finger pointing, accusations and insults," Masebo said.
"For HH when Mwanawasa, Chiluba, and Rupiah were in office, they were all bad and now it's Sata who is a bad man. Now that Rupiah Banda is out, they have become best friends. You can see that these are cheap politics and there is no principle in him," she said.
"You cannot run a country like that because even after losing an election, you should support each other and work together. Not after losing an election, you are still fighting. With politics like that, you the people are the ones that suffer."
Masebo said the by-election was an opportunity for the people of Livingstone to make their own personal development by voting for the PF candidate Lawrence Evans.
"I don't want to work with an MP from the opposition because I had problems. If development is to progress, vote for the PF candidate who has an efficient channel to get to all the doors of government to bring development, not one who has to get permission from his party to talk to the President."

WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross senior outfielder Keeley Seniuk (Phoenix, Ariz.) has been named the Patriot League Softball Player of the Week announced today by the league. Seniuk hit safely in all five of the Crusaders' games last week, posting a .500 batting average (10-for-20) with a home run, six RBI and seven runs scored. This is Seniuk's second Player of the Week honor, as she previously received the award during the 2009 season.
After starting the week with a 1-for-3 outing against Bryant, Seniuk went 6-for-10 in the Saturday doubleheader against Army with three RBI and a pair of runs scored. Her offense continued Sunday, as she went 3-for-7 in the second twin-bill. She started the day going 1-for-3, hitting the game-tying home run in the 3-2 loss. The round-tripper was the 16th of her career, breaking the Holy Cross all-time mark. In the second half of Sunday's doubleheader, Seniuk went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a double and three runs scored in the Crusaders' 13-4 win. She is riding an 11-game hitting streak entering the week, with multiple knocks in eight of those contests.
Holy Cross (12-15 overall, 6-2 Patriot League) travels to Harvard on Tuesday, April 12, for a midweek doubleheader before resuming Patriot League action on Saturday-Sunday, April 16-17, with a four-game series against Bucknell.

We applaud the Sag Harbor Village Board of Trustees and the Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce this week for working cooperatively to find a solution to open bathrooms in the Municipal Building on weekend days, after years of impediment.
Business is booming on Main Street, Sag Harbor. It's busier this year than it has been in some time — for better and for worse.
For many year round residents it is about this time in August that fatigue sets in — the traffic, the parking, the risking one's life at each and every crosswalk becomes overwhelming as many of us work harder than we do at any other time of the year to ensure those visiting us, on a regular basis or for the first time, have many reasons to come back next season. But despite that, at the end of the day this is a time of year we need. It sustains us through what can be a long winter. While there are reasonable barriers to what businesses can accomplish — seating limitations at local restaurants, for example — the closing of the only public bathroom facilities on Main Street during weekend days puts an egregious burden on retail stores reluctant to open their bathrooms, and therefore sometimes their private offices and books, to patrons streaming down Main Street.
We understand the Municipal Building has sensitive data, including from its justice court, housed in its walls. The concerns inherent with opening up the vestibule that hosts the public bathrooms are not without warrant, but we believe the solution the chamber of commerce has brokered with members of the village board has a truly viable chance of staving off not only theft but vandalism common with public bathrooms.
With the addition of an on-site attendant, paid for not by taxpayers but the chamber of commerce, we believe both businesses and the village will be better served during the remainder of this season. While there are public facilities on Bay Street, the geography —and sheer volume of visitors — demands a Main Street option.
We are pleased to see the village and the chamber working together to make that a reality.

Man faces sentencing for assaults, burglary
Thursday, Oct. 6, 2005
Chafian Gordon, 21, of Jamaica was found guilty Oct. 4 on three counts of first degree assaults and one count of first degree burglary of Tasha Blair, 16, Howard Blair, 17 and Sadekie Nelson, 18, of Hyattsville.
Circuit Court Judge Ronald Schiff received the guilty verdict from the Prince George's County Jury.
A release from State's Attorney Glenn Ivey announced the verdict stems for an incident on March 28.
Tasha Blair was alone in her home when she heard someone enter the home and was confronted by two armed black males who demanded money and threatened her with weapons.
Howard Blair entered the home and was also confronted by the armed men. As a third assailant entered the home, Howard Blair directed the men to another home in the neighborhood as he was forced into a car.
Gordon remained with Tasha Blair until Nelson came home. Gordon confronted Nelson at gunpoint but Nelson was able to escape and call 911. Howard Blair also was able to escape and call 911.
A member of the Hyattsville Police Department responded to the call and saw two males leave the house. He was able to apprehend Gordon.
Gordon is set for sentencing on Nov. 17.

This is a cookie-making machine with a difference. Designer Susana Soares and a team of food scientists and engineers have designed a 3D printer that makes biscuits from insect flour.
Just follow the recipe: grind up bugs and mix with icing butter, cream cheese or water to form the right consistency to go through the 3D printer's nozzle. Choose your favourite biscuit design and print out your snack: an exquisite morsel ready for cooking.
The installation asks whether by turning edible insects into intriguing forms, we could overcome the typical Western aversion to snacking on creepy-crawlies. Elsewhere, insects are on the menu for an estimated 80 per cent of the world's population, for the good reason that they have high nutritional value. Down just four grasshoppers and you'll get as much calcium as a glass of milk; by weight, dung beetles contain more protein than beef.
Watch the tabletop printer at work at the Insects Au Gratin exhibition and workshops, running until 5 May at the Wellcome Collection in London.

You've probably tasted New Zealand hops, but when's the last time you had a New Zealand beer? Nelson Sauvins, a tricky new hop variety from the South Island, has become a craft beer darling lately—check out New Belgium's Mothership Wit, BrewDog's Punk IPA, or Kelso's IPA. Anchor Brewing released a new beer just to feature them, its first in five years.
What's so great about Nelson Sauvins? They're extra bitter, which American brewers love, and they taste, as best as most brewers can describe, exactly like sauvignon blanc. Even the hop growers used the term.
Which means that yes, wine snobs: beer has terroir too. (The spicy kick of a true Czech pilsner? Thank the red, limestone soil of atec, where Saaz hops are grown.) So if New Zealand's volcanic fields can give us hops like these, Steinlager—made with all local ingredients—is here to show us what else that can dirt do. Granted, it's not the best in NZ. For that, try Monteith's, Three Boys, or Epic Beer. But it is the easiest to find stateside. My bottle was a bit stale, I'm guessing from all the travel, but there were definite berry and passionfruit notes from the hops, behind a thick wall of bitterness. Steinlager's US offering, called Pure (which puts Steinlager's other beers in, let's say, an unflattering light) hits stores this month. It's not a great beer, but an interesting one, and a world away from Fosters.

A man was taken into custody early this morning after a five-hour standoff with police.
At around 10:05 p.m. Sunday the Fort Wayne Police Department responded to a home in the 600 block of Stratton Road to a call of a man making suicide threats.
Police believed the man was intoxicated and had access to firearms inside the home, said FWPD spokesman Officer Jason Anthony. Responding officers were unable to contact the man, and the Emergency Services Team and Crisis Response Team were called.
A CRT negotiator initially established communication with the man but the latter stopped communicating and refused to respond to the negotiator's repeated attempts to restore communication. To try to get the man to leave the home peacefully, EST members fired tear gas inside the house. The man didn't emerge, so EST members entered the home and took him into custody at around 3:16 a.m. He was taken to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation.
Stratton Road was closed to all traffic during the five-hour standoff. During a search, firearms were discovered inside the home. This incident remains under investigation by the FWPD.

Shola Ameobi thought Newcastle boss Alan Pardew had gone mad after hearing he had described him as a "legend".
Pardew waxed lyrical about the 30-year-old striker after his injury-time goal had denied Sunderland a famous derby victory on Tyneside last weekend and taken his own tally in that particular fixture to seven. Only Jackie Milburn with 11 derby goals heads Ameobi in the all-time list, but the modest Nigeria-born Geordie was somewhat abashed by the compliment.
He said: "To be honest, the first thought that came to my mind when I heard that was, 'Are you mad?', but I guess that was his way of appreciating getting the goal against our rivals. For me, it's fantastic. To have that sort of praise from the head of the club means a lot, and hopefully I can carry on helping us win games."
