Monaco GP 2008
Saturday Team Quotes
Felipe Massa (1st, 1:15.787): "Incredible! I have got pole on a track where I have always struggled. Now I am beginning to like it a bit more... I managed to do a perfect lap with a great car: this result shows that, if you work hard and with attention to detail, you can do it everywhere. After finishing the lap, nobody said anything to me on the radio and then, unexpectedly, Rob (Smedley, Felipe's race engineer) screamed, "incredible, you're on pole!" and I was laughing all the way around my in lap as I just couldn't stop. Now we have to maintain our concentration for the race tomorrow, which will be a very difficult one. It could rain which would complicate things even more. Starting at the front means I have the best possible conditions, but we will have to do everything perfectly. We worked a lot on the set-up to improve on the situation compared to past years and I think this decision has paid off."
Kimi Raikkonen (2nd, 1:15.815): "Obviously, I would have preferred to be on pole and there's no point denying it, but two Ferraris ahead of the rest is a great result for the team. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so the race could be a lottery and it might mean more overtaking opportunities, because in the dry the race risks turning into a boring procession. Overall, I am happy with the car: we just struggled a bit to get the best out of the tyres on the first timed lap, so that I was finding things a bit difficult through the first few corners on my second run in Q3. We had some doubts about our true potential on this track before the weekend, but this result confirms we have worked well and we have made a step forward compared to last year."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "An all-red front row: we could not have asked for more from this qualifying session. In the past few weeks, we have said we would tackle this race with a different approach to usual and, at least up until now, we have reaped the rewards of this work that has involved the whole team. While we are well aware of the importance of qualifying at this track, the points only get allocated tomorrow. It will be a very tough race, which will be affected by the weather which is looking very uncertain. We will have to give of our best to build on this afternoon's result."
Luca Baldisserri, Head of Trackside Operations: "An all-red front row at Monaco is a really great result and a good reward for all the work we did in preparing for this Grand Prix. Our level of performance has improved and starting ahead of the field puts us in the best possible position for tomorrow afternoon's race. We will have to be as well prepared as possible for all the various scenarios that could play out, especially considering the weather forecast which is for a strong chance of rain."
BMW Sauber
Robert Kubica (5th, 1:16.171): "Again we showed we have a good pace. I was pushing on every single lap of qualifying and this was all I could do today. Unfortunately on my last flying lap I had Lewis Hamilton in front of me. He did not hold me up, but whenever you have another car in front of you there is some kind of a risk. On my out lap I tried to widen the gap to Lewis so as to have no traffic. My tyres cooled down too much and I was very slow in the first sector of my quick lap."
Nick Heidfeld (13th, 1:16.455): "Unfortunately I don't have much to say: my qualifying result is disappointing. Here in Monaco I can't heat up the tyres quickly enough."
Dr. Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director: "From a technical point of view our qualifying was okay. Certainly, we are disappointed with Nick ending up 13th. Robert showed a good pace and was able to fight for the top positions. In the end he even could have been a position further up the grid, but fifth is okay."
Willy Rampf, Technical Director: "In the third Free Practice we had changing weather conditions. Therefore it was difficult to find the perfect set-up. In Q1 and Q2 Robert managed to get the results we expected. In Q3 he was not able to set the time we hoped for. In the end he missed the second row of the grid by six thousands of a second. Anyway, fifth is a good starting position. Meanwhile for Nick it will be a lot more difficult to score points in Monaco from 13th on the grid. However, for Sunday changing weather conditions are predicted, so we might see a surprise."
Fernando Alonso (7th, 1:16.852): "In Monaco qualifying is more important than anywhere else and our goal today was to make it through to Q3. It is very difficult to overtake, but I think it is quite an open race and as we are not fighting for the championship we can approach this race aggressively and take a few risks. It will be a competitive race, that is for sure, but we just have to wait and see what the weather does."
Nelson Piquet (17th, 1:16.933): "I am very disappointed. I had a small problem with the brakes in Q1 and I was not on the pace. The car was very sensitive, but we saw with Fernando that it improved gradually throughout the session, which is all the more frustrating for me. A race from the back of the grid is always difficult, especially in Monaco, but I will give my maximum tomorrow, although my only real chance is to hope for rain, which will mix things up."
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering: "It's not been an easy day with the weather this morning giving us very little time to finish the work that we had to do. Consequently, we weren't even sure going into qualifying which would be the best tyre for the session. Nelson has suffered from the lack of running, but Fernando has done a superb job once again and his position on the grid is a credit to him and I think we can have a strong race tomorrow. Now we have to wait and see what the weather brings."
Denis Chevrier, Engine Operations Manager: "Fernando did a great job once again today. Nelson was not able to show his pace and did not progress past Q1, and I believe he did not realise his potential. So we are disappointed because it all rests on Fernando now. Nelson must prepare himself for a difficult race, but the weather tomorrow could really shake up the order."
Nico Rosberg (6th, 1:16.548): "I am very happy, I got the most out of the car and this is a good result. I really enjoyed it out there today. It was good fun and I was really pushing it to the limit - I imagine it would be pretty exciting to watch my on-board camera footage because I was really attacking every bit of the lap. Qualifying in Monaco is different to anywhere else and being able to get to the limit here is just great. If it rains tomorrow it will be madness, so I'll just have to be very careful and keep it on the track. With a good strategy, I can have a good Monaco Grand Prix."
Kazuki Nakajima (14th, 1:16.479): "It was a difficult qualifying for me because I was having trouble hooking everything up on my quick laps. I made some mistakes on one of my clean laps, so I need to go away and think about that and see how I can improve. Nico did really well today. He set a really good lap time, so I think I should have been better. Conditions were slightly different out there this afternoon in comparison to this morning's practice session, and the forecast isn't settled for the race, which could make it interesting."
Sam Michael, Technical Director: "It was a good qualifying session for Nico and he's in a good place for tomorrow's race. It was a shame for Kazuki that he didn't get through to Q3, but he did a good job considering this is his first time round Monaco in a Formula One car. He'll have to keep his head down tomorrow but, if it's a wet race, anything can happen. We had no reliability issues today."
Red Bull-Renault
Mark Webber (9th, 1:17.343): "We had a clear run with no problems. I was locking up quite a lot, but there was no particular sector of the lap that was worse than the others - we'll just have to see how things go tomorrow. Seventy eight laps is a long race and there's some uncertainly over the weather, so hopefully we can get some points."
David Coulthard (10th, No Time): "I was doing around 185kph when the incident happened, and I went into the wall quite hard. When I hit the brakes the car turned, I was going over a rise so it's possible I locked the rear axle, but normally when that happens, you can just release the brake a little bit. We'll check the car and see if anything was going wrong at the rear, as it turned very quickly. It's normal for the rear to go light when you brake there, as we don't have engine braking or anything like that, but you drive with that in mind, so I'm surprised what happened was so violent. But, we'll get the car back, look at the data and then we'll know."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "The main thing after such a nasty looking incident is that David is completely unharmed and the cars damage is relatively contained so, after a difficult weekend for him, which has included engine throttle problems on Thursday, a gearbox oil pressure issue this morning and a large accident in Q2, to still be tenth on the grid is positive for him! So I'm sure David will be fine in tomorrow's race. Mark comfortably made it through the first two qualifying sessions and we think we're reasonably placed for whatever the weather may throw at us tomorrow."
Fabrice Lom, Renault: "Fortunately David is okay after his accident and still got through to Q3. The performance of the car on this track is very good. For the engine it's very difficult at this track with the new rules because we have a lot of over-revs with no driver aids. It's going to be very difficult to keep the revs down and the car on the ground."
Jarno Trulli (8th, 1:17.203): "Today was a good qualifying but it was tough. All weekend I've had some problems with getting the most out of the package and even during qualifying I wasn't completely happy. Here in Monaco if you don't have confidence it is difficult to push to the limit. So I am glad to be in the top ten again and I also have high hopes for the race. A big thank you to the team and the mechanics because they worked really hard during Thursday practice when we had several problems so it's good to give them a good qualifying session."
Timo Glock (11th, 1:15.907): "It was frustrating to miss out on Q3 today because the weekend had been going well. I don't know what happened. I did a decent first lap in Q2 but on the last set of tyres it just didn't work out. I had a good first sector but the last two sectors didn't come together and I missed Q3 by less than a tenth of a second. The consolation is that I have a free strategy for tomorrow. The weather could still play a part and we'll push to make up ground."
Pascal Vasselon, Senior General Manager Chassis: "Altogether that was quite a hectic weekend - because of both the weather conditions this morning and some issues we had in practice. But Jarno is especially strong in Monaco so even after a difficult Thursday he was able to recover well and put the car on row four. He was under half a second from the top car in Q2 so it shows the gaps are getting closer. We are really disappointed for Timo, who so narrowly missed out on Q3. He has been strong all weekend and did a good job in all the sessions - both in the dry and in the wet. Still, he's in a good position for tomorrow because he has the first car that is free to decide on strategy overnight. That could be a significant advantage given the uncertain weather conditions so we can be hopeful for the race."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Sebastien Bourdais (16th, 1:16.806): "On my first lap I got caught up with Massa and my second was definitely going to be better, but that would not have changed anything. I am finding it very difficult to read what the car is doing, especially under braking when I am locking wheels a lot. In fact that was what caused the problem on my next run, because as I knew I had been locking the rear coming out of the tunnel, I moved the balance just one click to the front and sure enough, this time I lost the front. Also, as a general comment the car feels loose on the entry to most corners. Our situation was not helped by the fact we still lack experience with the new car and had nearly no dry running this morning. You have to pick up the pace by around a second and a half and when you've never done it in an F1 car in Monaco, it's a bit harder than anywhere else."
Sebastian Vettel (18th, 1:16.955): "My first lap time looked quite promising. After that, I feel we should have stuck with the prime tyre as the option was giving up during the first timed lap. I was unable to maintain a good level of grip over the whole track, so I was losing time, especially towards the end of the lap. It's a shame, because with my penalty I will be at the back of the grid. So I'm hoping for rain''..lots of rain!"
Jenson Button (12th, 1:16.101): "We spent the session working on the balance, trying to remove understeer from the car in the high-speed corners, which we achieved and the balance was improving. On my last run, the car felt good and I gained almost two-tenths in the first sector on my previous best time, then in the second sector Coulthard had his incident which unfortunately meant I couldn't improve my time because of the yellow flags. The car was well set-up for my final run in Q2 and the last sector is where we would have improved further, as we had a better front-end for the high-speed corners. Sadly the yellow flags prevented us from realising our full potential. We're not in the top ten and it's disappointing. That's Monaco for you and what is important is that we know the car was quick enough to have improved."
Rubens Barrichello (15th, 1:16.537): "It was certainly a disappointing second session for us. Unfortunately I didn't have a good first run because of traffic and then my second outing was interrupted by the yellow flags. It's a shame as the car was certainly competitive enough to get into Q3. However there is no place for 'if only' in Formula One and we are down in 15th, so it will be a tough race from there."
Steve Clark, Head of Race & Test Engineering: "Unfortunately it was 10 minutes shorter. Because of the wet morning session we elected to do an early run in Q1 on the prime tyre, then use the option for a single lap at the end. This worked well for us with both cars comfortably through to Q2. The second session was always going to be difficult for us as neither driver had a perfect balance on their first run. However changes to the front wing and tyre pressures had improved the car and they were both on a lap fast enough for the top ten when David Coulthard had his accident. We were running very late in the session in order to get the very best track conditions, so an incident at the last moment was a known risk which cost us dear on this occasion. A dry race tomorrow would be a very difficult and frustrating one for us. Both drivers are qualified below the potential of their cars and as we know overtaking here is pretty much impossible. If the race is wet then I think our chances of points are much higher. We have two very experienced drivers, both of whom are exceptional in the wet. Rubens has previously finished second here in an uncompetitive car and Jenson won his first race in the wet. Predicting a result in the wet is very difficult as there are so many scenarios that are possible, especially in changing conditions. A wet race here is likely to be full of incidents so if we can stay clear of them and get everything right then a good result is not out of the question."
Force India-Ferrari
Adrian Sutil (19th, 1:17.225): "I felt my first laps were quite good, but then I had to pass a couple of cars in the first sector. It is really only two tenths or so, but from that point on it's difficult to get in the rhythm. We had planned to do two laps but you never know whether there will be traffic so we left some margin with the fuel and I could stay out for a few more laps to get some better ones in. There were some positives though: at least we have got the tyre problem fixed and they are working well now."
Giancarlo Fisichella (20th, 1:17.823): "It was a disappointing qualifying session and, in fact, whole day. This morning I had a problem with the gearbox and we had to change it, so I would have been penalised five places anyway, but then it was only ready about 14:05 so we didn't have enough time to do three runs. My first run was not great, but the second was better but then I lost the chance to do a quick lap as I got caught behind Barrichello just after the swimming pool as he was slowing down. Very very frustrating."
Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer: "A very disappointing qualifying session, especially for Giancarlo on his 200th GP. A gearbox problem this morning limited his running and then he hit traffic on his fastest lap, which would have been very close to putting him through to Q2. Adrian has done a steady job today, improving in each session, but overall I think we had a car that shouldn't be on the back row. It will make the race very difficult, but anything can happen here."
Lewis Hamilton (3rd, 1:15.839): "Obviously I would have preferred to be on pole, but I am pleased with how the car felt and our strategy. The team did a solid job, and I didn't have any problems with traffic. My two flying laps in the final part of qualifying were good, but I lost a bit of time in the second sector, because I lacked a bit of traction accelerating out of turn eight, and in the third sector, at the last corners, I did not brake as late as I should. But we have a good strategy, and I am quite confident for the race - tomorrow anything can happen particularly with the weather forecast promising rain."
Heikki Kovalainen (4th, 1:16.165): "I am little disappointed as I put maximum effort in my last qualifying run. The car felt good, so I don't know where the small gap to the cars in front comes from. I did not put a foot wrong in all three sessions. I want to thank my team who had repaired the damage from this morning's incident well, so I could make best use of my car without any problems. The race is a different affair, and I expect us to be in good shape."
Ron Dennis, Team Principal: "An exciting qualifying with the lap times of the top drivers very close together. Of course, we would have preferred to be on pole; however, in the race we should be looking good with our strategy, consistency and pace. Especially in Monaco you can destroy your race with a smaller fuel load and it is easy to make a wrong decision in that respect. With a good start, and if we can stay out longer, even from the second row it is possible to win here. We have a good strategy and I expect a very hard fought race in hopefully good weather conditions."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "Lewis is third, half a tenth of a second away from pole. However, with Heikki lining up alongside him on the second row, both drivers still should be in a position to fight for victory tomorrow."

Q. I hoped the harsh winter would limit pests. However, spring time has brought the bugs to my new home. Does BBB have advice for selecting a pest management company?
A. Coincidental to spring, April is National Pest Management Month, according to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). In 2013, Better Business Bureau's nationally received more than 3,300 complaints against pest control services.
When your pest problem gets too big for a flyswatter, a mousetrap or do-it-yourself sprays, it is time to call in a professional service. Take the time needed to select a reputable business, and make sure you are doing business with someone you trust.
BBB and NPMA recommend the following tips for finding a qualified pest management professional:
1) Check them out. Evaluate pest control professionals and companies that are members of national, state or local pest management associations. Always check out the business' BBB Business Review at bbb.org first and check to see that the business is a certified NPMA Quality Pro, www.npmaqualitypro.org company. Ask friends and neighbors to recommend pest control companies they have used successfully and how satisfied they were with the service.
2) Always deal with a qualified and licensed pest management company. Ask to see the license or other credentials of the pest control professional that comes to solve your pest problem.
3) Do not rush. If a sizable amount of money is involved, get bids from several pest management companies. Since you are paying for professional knowledge as well as skillful application of pesticides, look for someone whose judgment you can trust.
4) Understand before you sign. Before signing a contract, be sure to fully understand the nature of the household pest to be exterminated, the extent of the infestation, and the work necessary to solve the problem. Find out if the pest control company has liability insurance to cover any damages to your house or furnishings during treatment. If a guarantee is given, know what it covers, how long it lasts, what you must do to keep it in force, and what kind of continuing control, prevention and management are necessary.
5) Do not fall for high-pressure sales tactics. Buy value, not price. Beware of companies that offer bargains that sound too good to be true. Be wary of companies that come to your home uninvited and offer to give your house a free inspection for pests. They may try to scare you into authorizing immediate and costly treatments.
For more home improvement tips you can trust, visit bbb.org and for the latest, follow us on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/BBBTNGA. Homeowners can also call state pest control regulatory agencies for information regarding the status of pest management companies. In most states the regulatory agency is the State Department of Agriculture: state of Tennessee, www.tn.gov/agriculture/regulatory/licenses.shtml and state of Georgia, www.agr.georgia.gov/1pesticide-applicator-licensing-and-certification.aspx .
Jim Winsett is president of the Better Business Bureau of Chattanooga.

Volumes of Cross-Sectional Solids (part 2 of 4)
Lesson 10 of 14
Objective: SWBAT write variable expressions for areas of basic geometric shapes; SWBAT compute volumes of cross-sectional solids.
Big Idea: No matter how you slice it, finding volumes of cross-sectional solids is a blast! Today we continue with volumes of cross-sectional solids.
Warm-up and Homework Review
Resources (2)
Setting the Stage
The Bottle Project
Prior to continuing with cross-sectional solids, we first introduce the bottle project. Distribute the Bottle project Description Sheet and centimeter graph paper, then briefly discuss how both solids of revolution and cross-sectional solids can be used to model many bottles and estimate their volumes. Also note for students that a primary part of this project is in discussing possible sources of error (DO NOT SHOW TO STUDENTS) in students' estimates, because for a variety of reasons students will not obtain the exact volumes as listed on the labels. I usually make the project due sometime after two weekends have passed, but not the 3rd weekend; this allows students some flexibility in when they work on the project without making its due date too far away from our study of these topics.
Cross-Sectional Solids Examples Sheet
Distribute the Cross-Sectional Solids Examples Sheet, which like the Solids of Revolution sheet gives students several different examples integrating various cross-sectional shapes with respect to x and y. Briefly discuss each example, observe that the same process was repeated in each example, and note how the pictures were sketched and labeled prior to setting up each integral.

What is CARE?
The Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education, Inc. (CARE) is a nonsecular educational organization dedicated to assembling research and disseminating information on the healing properties and therapeutic applications of essential oils. This is accomplished by the sponsorship of seminars, hands-on workshops, and the publication of various books and DVDs.
The focus of the program is to teach Raindrop Technique and associated skills, as originated and taught by D. Gary Young. This is accomplished through a series of courses that anyone can take. These include the History of Anointing with Oils & Laying On of Hands, Applied Vitaflex, Raindrop Technique, Emotional Release, Essential Oil Science and Chemistry, Basic Principles of Aromatherapy as well as Hands-on Practice and other Healing Skills.
The CARE Program also offers the opportunity to become a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS), a Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH), a Board Certified Raindrop Specialist (BCRS), and/or a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI).
CARE Classes are unusual or unique in many ways:
(1) CARE Classes are small with no more than 10 students per instructor to insure close supervision in hands-on training;
(2) In CARE Raindrop Technique classes, a Raindrop Technique lecture and demonstration is given. Then, each participant receives a session and facilitates two sessions. Thus, each participant in the CARE Raindrop classes (8 hrs) gets to see a Raindrop, experience a Raindrop, and practice doing Raindrop twice with supervision. In this way, everyone taking a CARE class is assured of going home being able to do the Raindrop Technique;
(3) The chemistry and science portions are presented in simple lucid terms understandable by anyone whether having a background in sciences or not.
(4) All topics taught in CARE Classes are accompanied with sets of notes Nyeste Styles Marc Jacobs Salg Med Laveste Pris | Marc Jacobs given out to all students. There may also be a bookstore offered with books and DVDs to purchase that parallel and support what is offered in class.
(5) CARE classes are taught only by Certified CARE Instructors who have completed a rigorous training program that prepares them not only in knowing the material, but in how to teach the material as well.
(6) CARE Classes address all aspects of ourselves: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual and relate most class materials, even chemistry, Nyeste Styles Marc Jacobs Salg Med Laveste Pris | Marc Jacobs to scripture.
(7) Once you have taken and paid for a CARE Class, you may repeat it for half price anywhere, any time, with any CARE Instructor. Many have taken the entire CARE Curriculum more than once, finding deeper insights and understanding each time.
(8) The complete CARE Certification Program toward becoming a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI) involves 23 requirements (164 hrs). However, once the first 11 requirements (72 hrs) are fulfilled, you are eligible to apply to become a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS) and Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH) which makes it legal for you to facilitate Raindrop in all 50 States and Provinces of Canada. Becoming a CRTS is possible only through CARE.
(9) Completing all 23 requirements to become a CCI makes you eligible to become a Board Certified Raindrop Specialist (BCRS). Becoming a BCRS is possible only through CARE. Click on item in sidebar to the right for more information.
(10) CARE trains more people in Raindrop, Vitaflex, and related topics than any other organization in the world. Anyone willing and able to invest the time, effort, and resources to fulfill the 23 requirements of the CARE Curriculum can join the CARE Faculty become a part of CARE's global

These are just some of the ways CARE International, its Programs, and its Classes are different or unique.
Most people take CARE Classes for their information and training. However, the core of the CARE Mission is the Certified CARE Instructor (CCI) Program.

Nyeste Styles Marc Jacobs Salg Med Laveste Pris | Marc Jacobs
Thus, CCIs may pass on their expertise to others who, upon completion Nyeste Styles Marc Jacobs Salg Med Laveste Pris | Marc Jacobs of the program, may do likewise in their own communities. In this way, the educational process of learning to perform and teach raindrop and other healing arts becomes locally available and self-duplicating with the capability of reaching thousands who would not otherwise have access to such training. CARE International is a self-replicating education program that will eventually reach millions throughout the world.
It is CARE's vision that some day proper therapeutic application of essential oils will become common household knowledge and Raindrop Technique will be a skill practiced by parents, spouses, and friends everywhere, and by professionals as well.
PROPRIETARY INTERESTS AND OILS USED: The oils used in CARE Classes are exclusively from Young Living Essential Oils, Inc., a network marketing company. All CARE Instructors are active Young Living Distributors.

Standup every time someone stops by your desk to ask you a question. Make
sure that you standup while exhaling. Drop your hands at your sides to
let your arms relax. Do a little 2-5 second stretch before sitting down.
When you must meet briefly with co-workers, suggest that you meet in their
offices. This will allow you time to walk and stretch.
If the person with whom you are meeting gets interrupted by a call, use
that time to quietly practice diaphragmatic breathing.
Responding to interruptions in this way has a secondary advantage of
engendering goodwillyour co-workers feel that they are important to you.

And why not? You just have to get a meal and "cookie-it"! Just get everything you would eat for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack or dinner and transform it into a cookie! You can think of it as portable meals!
Ok, let's start with Breakfast! You're having a bowl of cereal with milk and banana slices? Yes, it does look good, but let's "cookie-it"!
Bowl of milk + cereals + banana = Breakfast Bowl Cookie
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 cup powdered milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ½ cup butter
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup wheat cereal (crushed)
Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Cream the butter with the sugar. Add the powdered milk, egg, banana and vanilla and mix well. Incorporate the rest of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt). At last add in the crushed cereal. Scoop portions of the dough into a baking sheet and bake until golden brown (about 10-12 minutes).Serving them in a bowl is obviosly optional, but it does add a bit of charm!
Now say good morning to my mom! She really approved the breakfast cookie! Again, eating with a spoon is optional!
The morning goes by so fast it's already time for lunch! What do you think if we have Pizza? Or, even better, pizza cookies?
Bacon & Mushroom Pizza = Pizza Shortbread Cookies
- 250 gr (9 oz) flour
- 125 gr (4.5 oz) butter
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp oreganos
- 1/8 tsp ground pepper
- ¼ cup small chunks of fried bacon (cooled)
- ¼ cup small chunks of cooked mushrooms (cooled)
- 1/8 cup grated cheese (plus more for topping)
In a food processor place all dry ingredients (flour, salt, garlic, oreganos and pepper) with the cold butter cut into medium chunks. Pulse a few times until it has a course consistency. Mix the tomato sauce with the water and add to the flour-butter mixture and pulse a few more times until the dough forms a ball. Transfer the ball of dough to a lightly floured table and incorporate the cheese, bacon and mushrooms. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Roll the dough and cut into shapes. Bake in a 180ºC (350ºF) preheated oven until golden brown. On the last minute of baking put a little bit of grated cheese on top and let it melt before taking out the cookies from the oven.
You can make them round...
... or in the shape of pizza slices! For that cut big circles of dough (use a plate over the dough and cut arround it with a knife). Score the slices slightly before baking and finishing cutting them with a serrated knife after they've cooled down.
You're hungry again? Ah, you feel like having an afternoon snack, don't you? Ok, let's be healthy and have a cup of tea and an apple. You want a bit of chocolate as well? Sure. Not satisfied yet? Maybe some nuts will help. Ok, just give me all that, I'll transform it in a cookie for you!
Tea + Apple + Chocolate + Hazelnuts = "I feel like a snack" Cookie
- 115 gr (1/2 cup) butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ cup flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 apple (grated)
- 60 gr (2 oz) melted dark chocolate
- 2 black tea bags*
- ½ cup toasted (and skinned) chopped hazelnuts
Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Cream the butter with the sugar. Add the egg and mix well. Add the melted dark chocolate and then incorporate the rest of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt). Open the tea bags and add the tea as well. At last add in the hazelnuts and the grated apple. Scoop portions of the dough into a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies, making sure you don't over bake them. They should come out of the oven when they still look slightly under baked. * The tea bags I've used had almost pulverized tea, but if you have only leafs, you should grind them to a powder before adding to the dough.
And here they are!
And a look at the moist interior. They were delicious!
Just ask my neighbour Mónica! Or do you think that's a fake smile on her face?
This is being a lot of fun, but the day is finishing! It's time for the last meal for today! I think we should have a nice dinner: Chicken breasts with mustard, white rice and steamed broccoli. I bet you want to see the cookie version of it!
Chicken with mustard + Rice + Broccoli = Chicken & Broccoli Biscotti
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp mustard
- ½ chicken breast (cooked and cooled)
- 2 small pieces of broccoli (cooked and cooled)
Mix olive oil, egg and mustard. In another bowl mix all dry ingredients (flours, salt, baking soda and baking powder). Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix with your hands. Dice in small chunks the chicken and broccoli and incorporate them into the dough, carefully, because the broccoli is very delicate. Shape the dough into a log and bake in a preheated 180ºC (350ºF) oven until it starts to appear baked but it's not golden brown yet. Remove from oven and let it rest for 15 minutes and lower the oven to 150ºC (300ºF). Then slice into diagonal pieces and put the pieces cut side down into the baking sheet. Bake for until golden, the time will depend on the thickness of your biscotti.
They're great plain...
... or to dunk in your soup, as you would dunk your sweet biscotti into your coffee or tea!
Ok, we're done, you can have a cookie for dessert!
Cookies make people happy! Eat cookies!...
... And go from a) to b) in just a few bites!

ThePower wrote:Hi Rebecca!
I had my first Lucid dream tonight (Kind of) what happened was that in my dream I partially felt myself in the real world and my dream movements were hindered by it (I felt my arms by my side and that I was laying down, only I felt it in the dream) so in my dream my mind was weird-ed out by that and when I tried to lift up my arms I couldn't. after some strain and kind of shifting between both bodies (it was a weird experience) I managed to be able to lift up my arms in the dream and when I looked at them they were almost see through and I couldn't focus on them. This triggered my mind to think hey! i'm dreaming! but that thought lasted only a few seconds and the only thing left in my head was the thought that I could do whatever I wanted (The correlation between dreaming and doing what I wanted in the dream must have carried over)but nothing was clear or vivid it was all foggy. I think that means I was only partially lucid. Anyways, I looked out a window and it was a blizzard and I wanted it to be a tropical landscape with an ocean outside so I turned around and looked back at the window and suddenly it was a tropic landscape with a nice beach and a huge ocean! I decided to fly out the window (because I could do what I wanted) but I couldn't I just stood there but then I thought about the window breaking so I could fly through it and suddenly it cracked open and when I looked out at the sky suddenly I was flying upwards and towards it! but as I was flying I felt my normal (sleeping) body starting to almost take over (my arms were stuck again) it took some effort but I managed to focus back onto my flying dream self but everything after that is extra fuzzy and I had no control over any of the rest of the dream (I think I just went back to normal dreaming) but (and I'm sorry for rambling about my dream like that) but I've read a lot of your articles and liked all the advice you had for beginners and I was really just wondering how to be able to not have everything be all fuzzy and more clear (I know you've said rubbing your hands together can help but that didn't come to mind while I was dreaming, I don't think I was completely conscious during the dream but I don't know how to fix that.) but I was also wondering how to not become overly conscious so that I wake up and go into my normal body (I think that's what was happening when I felt my actual body in the dream)
Cool dream, especially for your first LD
You need to practice increasing your lucidity, and thereby the intensity of the dream:
Make it a very solid intention to perform those actions immediately after becoming lucid and doing your reality check. It will soon become a well-ingrained routine, if you keep thinking about it while awake, and imagining doing it during your meditation/MILD practice.
I also think you will lose sense of your sleeping body as you become more immersed in your lucid dream. Move your dream body about and relate to that. Don't think of your body in bed. If you get stuck, ask the dream for help! Such as "give me full lucidity!" or "let me feel my dream body 100%" This is just a way of solidifying your intention and getting what you want out of your dream.

Writing A Topic & Concluding Paragraph for the Essay (Day 3 of 3)
Lesson 5 of 5
Objective: SWBAT complete an informational essay by writing a topic and concluding paragraph
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: main idea, key details, topic paragraph, concluding paragraph, essay, informational
- Set up the whiteboard
- 'I'm ....Wrap It Up' powerpoint (optional - see reflection)
- lined writing paper for students
- 'Key Words for Topic & Concluding Sentences' chart chart Created in an earlier lesson
- pictures for the project one copy for each student
- construction paper, glue, scissors
- craft supplies for the project I had cotton balls, pipe cleaners, construction paper scraps, pipe cleaners
Focus of the Lesson
This is the third of a three part lesson to construct a five paragraph essay. Writing an essay this long is a challenge for my second grade students, so we are working on it over several days. I want to be very deliberate about the process so the students can understand the process of how to write organized paragraphs with clear details to support the main idea, as well as introductory and concluding paragraphs.
The previous lessons to this were I'm Melting!!! Writing an Expository Paragraph (Part 1 of 3) and I'm Freezing and Steaming!!! Write Two Expository Paragraphs (part 2 of 3). We wrote about melting snowmen and freezing icicles and steamy hot chocolate. In this lesson the, students will compose an introductory and concluding paragraphs to complete a final 5 paragraph essay.
In this lesson, the students are learning to write about a topic that we are currently studying. We are writing about the states of matter because that is our science unit. Instead of writing any informational text, I chose to use topic because I want the student to get a cross-curriculum experience. The Common Core standards represent a shift in writing about informational topics, including introducing a topic, using facts to develop points, and providing a concluding sentence (W.2.2) This lesson is an final step towards supporting students to practice writing an informative/explanatory paragraph conveying complex ideas and presenting information clearly and accurately. Second grade students can usually write a paragraph with details, but need practice to weave a succinct introductory and concluding paragraph into a essay with a strong main idea and details.
When writing about an informational topic that you are studying, make sure the students are really FAMILIAR with the topic. When they are learning new writing skills, they need to be secure with the information they are writing about.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Get students engaged
- Engage the kids in the writing: show the Polar Express video clip or the Frosty video
- Talk about what they see - freezing, melting, solids, liquids, gases....
Common starting point
- "We have written 3 great paragraphs about our main topic!"
- "What have we written about so far?" Engage the kids to give you ideas - hot chocolate, snowmen, icicles... melting, freezing.... informational topics, main idea, details, expository writing, essay, (use these words one more time so the kids become more familiar with them)
- If you use the powerpoint--"Here's a picture of the topics we have talked about ." Powerpoint slide 1

Teacher's Turn
Give the purpose of the lesson
- We've done some great writing about 3 different topics. You've used main idea and key details to write your paragraphs with good topic sentences and concluding sentences."
- "Now that we have 3 great paragraphs, we need to finish our essay with a short topic and concluding paragraph. We'll use the same organizer and same strategy. The only difference is that we'll write 2-3 sentences for each paragraph. I changed the words on the whiteboard to 'topic paragraph'.
- "When we have all 5 paragraphs we'll put them together and make project to help us connect the ideas."
Demonstrate the strategy
- I put the main idea & details (from the 3 previous lessons) that I used for my 3 paragraphs on the board.
- This is the explanation of how to use the main idea words.
- Introduction to writing the topic paragraph
- Introduction to writing the concluding paragraph
- Model how to edit my own ideas in my paragraph
In this lesson, we are focusing on writing to explain and describe in an expository text. Using the main idea to create topic and concluding paragraphs helps writers connect details in the text with these paragraphs. The Common Core Standards (W.2.2) encourage writers to write informative texts in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points, and provide a concluding statement or section. This is last lesson is this series, focusing on writing an expository paragraph. We did these lessons in a deliberate order with significant modeling and practice so the students could understand how to use main idea and details to compose a 5 paragraph essay.

Students Take A Turn
Explain the task
- Students use the main ideas in their organizers to write an introductory paragraph. This is an example of how I showed a student how to use main ideas to write a topic paragraph.
- Students use the main ideas to write a concluding paragraph This is a video of how I prompted students to write a concluding paragraph.
- Students need to reviewing vocabulary
- Here are 2 writing samples - student writing sample 1 and student writing sample 2.
Resources (5)
Show What You've Learned
Explain the project
- Students use their main ideas to illustrate what they know.
- Demonstrate how to illustrate your ideas
I really wanted to let the kids 'celebrate' finishing this big writing project with some craft time. My second graders still love to work with pipe cleaners, cotton ball, etc, but rarely have time for the creativity. It was a motivator to know that when they finished this last writing piece, they could put it all together and add a visual to what they had written about. They were very proud to have created this 5 paragraph essay!
Students work on project
- Pass out pictures, construction paper and craft supplies
- As my students finished their writing, they came to the craft table. Here are some students working -example 1 & example 2
Students share their ideas
- Ask for volunteers to share their project
- My students were very excited to read and share their pictures!! Here is example student artifact 1 and student artifact 2.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Students with language challenges will need to work with the teacher. The writing will probably be too difficult. I encouraged my students to fill out the organizer with minimal prompting, but then sat with the students who needed a lot of help
For students who have better language, challenge them to use higher vocabulary. They should use the list of vocabulary that we reviewed at the beginning of the lesson and expand with more details.

I am using the Power Point SkyDrive embedding codes on a company website - I am trying to get the click free presentation to auto play in the iFrame but cannot figure it out or find any advice online. I know that within a youtube iFrame you can just add "?autoplay=1" to the URL but I can't figure out the equivalent for the skydrive application.
If anyone has any advice or has had this problem and came up with a decent alternative I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks in advance

Pregnancy loss can happen anytime during a pregnancy. It may be a miscarriage, a tubal (ectopic) pregnancy, a stillbirth, or it may be the death of a baby shortly after birth (neonatal death).
When you have a pregnancy loss, you may feel both physical and emotional pain. Every woman reacts differently to the loss. There are no right or wrong feelings. You may have strong feelings of loss no matter how early or how late you were in the pregnancy.
At first you may feel a sense of shock and disbelief. Your emotions may range from guilt and sadness, to anger and feeling out of control. You may wonder if you or someone else could have prevented your loss. You may want to be with family and friends or you may want to spend time alone. All of this is normal. The length of time needed to grieve is different for everyone. More important than the length of time is just allowing yourself to grieve.
A pregnancy loss may leave you feeling alone. You may wonder, "Are there other women who feel the way I do?" or "Am I normal?" The answer is yes. Information about support groups for anyone who has had a pregnancy loss can be found by calling:

Mary Dondero is intrigued by the way that contradictions often define who we are. When she thinks about how complex events shape and define us, she is amused.
Her plan was to become an artist. With the combination of Graphic Design, Photography and Printmaking as her focus of study, she received a BFA in Studio Art from Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. The contradiction in her academic career was that in 1980 she earned a Masters in the Arts of Teaching from Rhode Island School of Design - however, teaching Art to children was not her personal life goal.
In 2003, she earned an MFA in Photography from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. As a full-time faculty member at Bridgewater State University she finds working with university students both enormously rewarding and inspiring. Through a program developed by Bridgewater, she has been teaching photography to middle school children in the summertime which has been a joyful experience but also provided another professional contradiction as her MAT from Rhode Island School of Design is now relevant.
In 2011, Professor Dondero was awarded "Artist in Resident" at Zion National Park in Utah. The park's environments include a limestone canyon that was a great river thousands of years ago and the painted desert that was once an inland sea. This residency granted secluded time and space to focus on her artwork in a place rich with geological formations reminiscent of the ocean, inspiring new visual language for her work.
Professor Dondero exhibits her work both nationally and internationally and, in 2005, she presented her photo-installation, 'Dust' at the Southeast Society of Photographic Educators Conference. Her work is held in several collections, such as the permanent collection of Naestved International Print Studio in Denmark, the Zion Human History Museum in Utah and the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion in New Hampshire. Her photo-ceramic installation that she created for the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion was mentioned in the respected international publication "Ceramics, Art and Perception."
Professor Dondero's studio is located in Warren, Rhode Island, where she is one of the founding members and current President of the Executive Committee for the now ten-year-old, non-profit organization, Imago Foundation for the Arts. For the past two years she has served on the Board of Directors for the Bristol Art Museum where she is Chair of Exhibitions.
When she was young Mary's family moved from Brooklyn, New York to rural Massachusetts. Often, she finds herself yearning for life in the city. This is probably caused by the many childhood memories that she continues to embrace. Ironically, she finds herself living in the woods of Rehoboth, Massachusetts contemplating her next project.

Stephen F. Smalley graduated from Massachusetts College of Art, State College at Boston and The Pennsylvania State University. Joining the art faculty at Bridgewater State University in 1972, he served as department chair 1972-1984 and retired from full-time teaching in 2005. As professor emeritus and part-time faculty, he continues to offer honors art history colloquia, which often focus on topics such as graffiti, art of the tattoo, Pop art, Andy Warhol & Jackson Pollock. Other teaching positions were with the Cambridge Public Schools, Pennsylvania State University, Tyler School of Art/Temple University, Massachusetts College of Art and the American College in Paris.
His ongoing Henry VIII series focuses on the legendary British monarch and attempts to playfully re-invent Hans Holbein's portrait of a pivotal figure in England's history. Smalley has visited London and the United Kingdom numerous times over the years, conducting art history study tours to London, and served as a faculty associate in the Bridgewater State University Program at Oxford.
The department offers a BA in art with seven different possible concentrations, including art history, graphic design and new media. We also offer an MA in teaching, and we serve non-art majors at Bridgewater through our extensive core curriculum offerings.
Studio enrollments are kept low to promote a sense of community and positive classroom dynamics. This encourages strong one-on-one student-teacher relationships, leading to an in-depth understanding and development of techniques, skills and individual style. The department contributes to the cultural richness and artistic vitality of our region and our state by training knowledgeable artists, art historians, teachers and other professionals.

Parks and Recreation Enlists Patton Oswalt
He'll play a problematic Pawneean.
Patton Oswalt will be on an upcoming episode of Parks and Recreation as a history enthusiast who thinks life was better back in the 1800s, when Pawnee's town charter was created. Showrunner Mike Schur confirmed in a conference call today that Oswalt was indeed Pawnee bound, and according to TV Line, his character is someone who's a thorn in Leslie's side when she tries to alter the town's guiding documents. (Recall that this charter also says "any woman caught laughing is a witch.") So he's like Pawnee's own Scalia, except with a hat.

ATLANTA (AP) — Even though Rick Ross lost his deal with Reebok this year, the Miami-based rapper continues to sport and promote the sneaker brand.
"I'm still supporting Reebok. I'm still wearing Reebok," he said in an interview last week. "It's nothing more than that. I've been wearing Reebok my whole life. ...Still got nothing but love for Reebok."
The burly, husky-voiced Ross became known for his colorful and heavy lyrics, rapping about the grimy street life, money, luxury cars and women. But the Grammy-nominated performer took things too far on Rocko's song, "U.O.E.N.O," where he raps about giving a woman the drug MDMA, known as Molly, and having his way with her. Petitions were issued by women's groups and rape victims.
Reebok terminated its contract with Ross in April following the heavy criticism.
But Ross says he has moved on and learned from the setback. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, the 37-year-old talked about Reebok, his acting career — he appears in the Starz drama "Magic City" — his relationship with Jay-Z and his compilation album, "Rick Ross Presents: Self Made 3," released Tuesday.
AP: What did you learn from your setback with Reebok?
Ross: You live and you learn. I think the most unfortunate thing about the whole situation was just the fact that my lyrics offended some ladies, especially dealing with the topic of rape. It was interpreted as rape. I really wanted to make sure that I apologize to any woman that I offended in that way. I just wanted to make that clear. When I make music and I'm talking on records, it's like I'm painting a picture. In my mind, I'm seeing a film. I apologize.
AP: How did the women close to you feel about the situation?
Ross: They know where I stand as far as women. They know the level of respect I have for women. With my mother being the most beautiful woman in the world, she knows where I'm coming from.
AP: Jay-Z has supported you since he signed you to Def Jam in 2006. How has he helped you through your maturation?
Ross: He's been a part of pretty much every project I've put together as a solo artist. He's always been there any time I've made a call. It's just an array of things I've learned from him outside of music, like handling business and money. ...I come from down South where I want the music, bass and the beats that shake the walls. Hov talked to me about performing (and) what live music brings to the table.
AP: This is your label's third compilation album and it mainly features you, Wale and Meek Mill. Why do you think it's beneficial to release a compilation album?
Ross: When you see compilations like this, you see longevity. With us, we have people who are on top of their game. But we want to bring more artists into the fold, and give young artists an opportunity to be on the same playing field with us. That in itself speaks volumes to someone at home chasing their dreams.
AP: What was going through your mind when you first saw yourself on "Magic City" as the character Butterball?
Ross: Honestly, when I saw myself come out from around that corner, I was really amazed by how handsome I looked. It's like I got to see myself outside of seeing myself. I said to myself, 'Wow, that's an attractive (expletive) there. Not to mention, he's rich.' I just kind of laughed at myself. All the calls I had coming in, everybody was (messing) with me, picking at me and saying how I charged out to the car. They said I was talking like I was not me. I told them, 'So what ... I'm a boss.'
AP: Do you want to act more?
Ross: I think it's super cool when you're able to act, but I'm really exciting if it's something I'm a fan of. There are a lot of films that I see and like today, but it doesn't necessarily make me want to be a part of it. Even if I had the opportunity or the offers, I could pass. I've passed on many films and lost checks, but that's not what drives me to act. On "Magic City," in particular, it's a show pertaining to my city (Miami). Once I began watching it, I became a fan.

To keep your eyes healthy if you wear disposable lenses:
There are two types of reusable lenses: soft and hard.
Soft and hard reusable lenses both have to be disinfected with contact lens solution every day to prevent infections. Your contact lens prescriber will tell you how to do this.
To look after your reusable lenses safely:

Junior 3 Piece Drum Kit by Gear4music, Wine Red
Junior 3 Piece Drum Kit by Gear4music, Wine RedDetails
The Junior 3 Piece Drum Kit is ideal for younger players who aren't quite ready for a full size kit. Super easy to set up, waste no time and have your little one practicing in no time! Great for developing entry level percussion skills, this kit features a snare, bass drum and more. This kit also features everything young drummers need to start playing straight out of the box; including a drum stool, drumsticks and skins, perfect for young rockers!

Comments from customers who bought this item:
Easy To Unpack Set-Up & Play
Packaged in one box, the Junior 3 Piece is easy to unpack set-up and play. It includes everything you need in a complete beginners drum kit, with one tom, a snare drum, bass drum, drum stool, bass drum pedal, crash cymbal, a pair of sticks and a full set of drum heads.
Younger Brother To The BDK-1
New and improved hardware means that the Junior 3 Piece is effectively a younger brother to our BDK-1, with many similar features to this full size kit. The reduced scale of the Junior 3 Piece is much more comfortable for children aged 5 to 10; and will enable them to learn correct drumming techniques without having to overstretch and struggle.
The tom is great for lively drum fills - and sturdy bass drum legs will support those early kick drum strikes. Beginner drum lessons involve plenty of snare drum exercises - and this kit has a fully adjustable snare with a clamp to make the basics as easy as possible. You can also be sure that the crash cymbal will receive a fair amount of attention at the end of an energetic drum roll!
Finished with striking black rims, the Junior 3 Piece looks great - and is both easy and fun to play for younger children.
