Last night I made a delicious sprouted pizza to enjoy in place of our usual delivery. So easy to make and really just the most enjoyable way to eat a food that digests like a vegetable! No intestine clogging white flour or sugar here! Nope. Just organic, healthy foods for people who enjoy the simple pleasure and wholesome nourishment nature provides!
Good digestion is key to good health and this sprouted grain flour is easy to digest! Look at that succulent pizza! AHHHHH!! Doesn't it make your mouth water?
The pizza is made with sprouted spelt flour or sprouted wheat flour (you pick – I used a little of both!). I made a red and a white. My husband, who does not like olives, had no complaints and devoured half a pie of the white and quite a few slices of the red! I, of course, am hooked!
Here's the recipe… very easy to do! Just pick up some sprouted flour at the health food store and get cookin' tonight! The recipe is one that I adapted from Janie Quinn's cookbook: Essential Eating.
Xoxox ❤ Udo
Sprouted Pizza Crust:
2 tablespoons of organic sucanant
1 cup of warm water (similar to really hot tap water- keep it around 115-120 degrees)
2 tablespoons of country fresh cream butter (any butter will do of course!)
1 teaspoon or so of sweet pink sea salt
3 cups of sprouted flour (wheat, spelt, quinoa, you choose!)
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the organic sucant and water – swirl about a bit with a fork or wooden spoon or whisk.
- Add the yeast and let it stand for a few minutes
- Swirl it about a bit to get those bubbles foaming.
- Let the yeast water stand for a couple minutes.
- Add the melted butter and salt to the mixture.
- Now begin to add the flour one cup at a time and mix with a wooden spoon.
- Combine gently until the dough starts to form a ball and pull away from the bowl.
- If the dough is too sticky add more flour.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured (with your sprouted flour of course) surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and shiny. About 10 minutes?
- Spray the bowl with a quick shot of Pam Olive Oil baking spray (or you can use a paper towel that has a teeny amount of olive oil on it and wipe the bowl with it.
- Place the kneaded dough in the bowl and cover with a damp dish towel.
- Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes (I am very impatient and really only let mine sit about 3 minutes. heh) in a warm spot.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin.
- Place the rolled out pizza dough on a cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with corn meal.
- Add your toppings (see below)
- Bake at 475 for 10-15 minutes… until it looks like it's done. Cut into 8ths with a pizza cutter
For the white pizza I tried to keep it really low-cal so I didn't add any oil or sauce. I used carmelized onions, black olives, baby spinach leaves, mushrooms that had been sauteed in a teeny amount of butter and olive oil and seasoned with salt and tarragon, pink sea salt, pepper, and a few dollops of salty yogurt. I added some sea salt to the yogurt and mixed it up in a small bowl before I dabbed it onto the pizza (that was my 'cheese').
For the red pizza I added baby shrimp that had been sauteed in garlic and butter and seasoned with Old Bay seasoning, caramelized onions, red pizza sauce, and low-fat organic mozzarella cheese.
Soooo good and you won't feel heavy or bloated afterwards! Enjoy your sprouted pizza! We sure did!
My guesstimated calorie count for one whole pizza crust (all cals listed are approx.)
Flour (400)
Butter (200)
Sucanant (60)
660 for the crust divide into 8ths = approx. 85 cals per slice (crust only)

|The Rise of China and Asia's Flying-Geese Pattern of Economic Development:An Empirical Analysis Based on US Import Statistics
Based on a comparison of the trade structures among Asian nations, we find that they are broadly in line with their respective levels of economic development. In short, there is no evidence showing that the flying-geese formation has been disrupted by the emergence of China. Even in China's fast-growing IT-product sector, the country's export competitiveness still lags far behind not only Japan, but also other Asian countries. There is a clear division of labor between Japan and China, with the former specializing in high-value-added products and the latter in low-value-added products. There is little overlap, especially in the high-value-added categories.
In the new economy, human capital is the single most important asset. It is unrealistic to expect the Chinese economy to leapfrog because China is unlikely to greatly improve the educational level of the entire nation in a short period. Instead, economic development can only be a step-by-step process.

4 Days and a Wakeup!
Dear Gabe,
4 days son, can you believe it? I hope you have good connections all the way. That would be soooo cool!
I'm trying not to make any committments for you, but your friends are all getting so excited so I imagine you will have the phone stuck to your ear for the first day or so when you get back. I haven't spoken with Kayle lately, we'll probably give her a call so we know when to expect her and Zachary. I still have to baby-proof the house. I hope I don't hug him too tight and scare him!
Don't forget to pack the laptop, cos I want to see your pictures and videos. We still have a bunch of your clothes here so you really only need what you're traveling in.. and shoes.
Till then, be safe. Miss you, love you always!

Farnham, Virginia
Farnham is an unincorporated community in Richmond County, in the U.S. state of Virginia.[1]
Farnham takes its name from Farnham, in Surrey, England.[2]
The North Farnham Church was built in 1737 and has featured in historic events since then. Two years into the War of 1812, bullet holes were left in the walls during a conflict between the Virginia militia and the British fleet, led by Admiral George Cockburn. This event was called the Skirmish at Farnham Church. During the Civil War the church was used by Union soldiers as a stable. It has been restored several times, once in 1872 and again in 1924.[3]
Linden Farm, also known as Dew House, is an early 18th-century farm situated on 282 acres. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977.[4]
Notable residents[edit]
- Jim Coates, Major League Baseball pitcher
- Cyrus Griffin, last President of the Continental Congress (1788)
- Samuel Hammond, Revolutionary War soldier and officer, Territorial Governor, and statesman
- Joseph Hanks (1725-1793), Abraham Lincoln's great grandfather.[5][6]

Pleasin Gallery Of Shower Curtain Size
Shower Curtain Size | There are many times in your home when it's ideal to have your windows open and let the sunshine and the breezes come in freely. But there are instances, when the weather is stormy, once you're trying to find some sleep or just times when you want some solitude, that those windows need to be shut and insured. That is when curtains, draperies and other window treatments, such as blinds, shades and window film, can provide the light-blocking protection you need. This is image of Shower Curtain Size.

If you're like me, you probably have no idea how many calories you eat in an average day.
Start with a calculator to tell you how many calories you need to maintain your current body weight. You can access the Mayo Clinic calculator here.
Choose an attainable goal. Some sites suggest that women should not go below 1200 calories per day and men should not go below 1800 calories per day. This will obviously depend on your own body and activity level. For more information, you can click here.
Once you decide on a target calorie amount, keep track of what you eat and calculate the calories throughout the day. Here are a few free sites you can use:

- www.myfitnesspal.com
- www.fitday.com
- www.caloriecount.about.com

HOA bans smoking INDOORS!
Of the 19 association members who voted on the issue, 15 favored the anti-smoking regulation proposed by association President Dave Hanvelt, while four argued that residents should be allowed to smoke in their homes."
This is an HOA in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, that was part of the USA until recently.

The camel's nose has been under the tent flap for a long time. Certainly this isn't the first condo to start regulating individual behavior in private spaces and it probably won't be the last.
Next, it is the invasion of the mind police.
As we say on On The Commons, "You are leaving the American Zone". Maybe we should add that we are now entering the insane zone. What do you think?
- July 20, 2009 at 12:30:00 PM CDT
On this subject, an excellent quote by a reporter, from, over this past weekend. He is writing about an outrageous HOA issue.
The quote and the link:
"At times, these boards can garner too much power and invade the personal lives of homeowners in a way the vast majority of American citizens would never accept from our local, state or federal governments." Tom Grady, Star News, Wilmington, NC, Posted July 19, 2009 9:51:04 AM

It's an assessment preservation scheme and for their own good. Disable and dead condo residents are poor risks for paying assessments in a timely manner.
- July 20, 2009 at 3:51:00 PM CDT
"You sign it, you eat it. The real question is whether the thing you sign gives you reasonable notice they have this power. If not, they don't." (Resident constitutional liberty scholar, nationally recognized institute, constitutional government)
A reasoned question respecting whether there are any limitation (or should be) on an association's right to legislate conduct seemed deserving of a more reasoned response than "You sign it, you eat it."
It is a sad commentary that those who believe in the innate dignity of the individual and further believe that unrestrained government (whether federal, state, municipal, local or association) has proven to be a chief instrument in thwarting individual liberty, should seemingly fail to acknowledge the need to protect certain fundamental rights of Americans that live in homeowner associations (whether by choice or default [absence of comparable alternative housing]).
Did any Fairfax Parkside homeowner reasonably believe, or receive reasonable notice when purchasing their home, that Fairfax would someday outlaw smoking in one's home?

"Disable and dead condo residents are poor risks for paying assessments in a timely manner."
Will you elaborate. Did you mean "disabled"...?
Obviously, "dead," condo owners, could not pay an assessment, justified or not. Their estates would be responsible.
However, I have found the opposite to be true, when it comes to paying LEGITIMATE assessments. Let's talk about illegal, targeted, assessments and who the victims are. Those scamming homeowners in these groups are some abusive board members and their associates getting kickbacks, stealing funds, misusing funds, lying and cheating anyone they can, providing work for friends and family, in the name of "assessments." Then, if successful, with their scam, they get their home. Many of the boards in these abusive groups appear to harbor and encourage sociopathic behaviors, by these board members and their associates, in my opinion. Live in a bad one and you will never question what really goes on!

Have no fear folks, Rush Limbaugh is on the scene. On his radio show today he called this ban "a communist idea."
Write Rush, regardless of political affiliations, and help him understand how true he spoke.
His short comment, "A homeowners association is banning smoking inside your own house. It's a communist idea that's, finally, not coming from Washington" can be found at

Biotechnology is defined as the industrial exploitation of living organisms or the exploitation of components derived from these organisms. Its practical applications include age-old techniques such as brewing and fermentation, which are still important today. In recent decades, gene modification has revolutionized the biotechnology industry, spawning countless new products and improving established processes.
More and more types of fermentation are being used, and most new medicines are products of biotechnology. Modern biotechnology has become an applied area of science with a multidisciplinary approach embracing recombinant DNA technology, cellular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, as well as process design, engineering, modelling and control.
Biotechnology is a broad, multidisciplinary area of science. A Master of Science in Biotechnology is an expert in one (group of) discipline(s) and has to have sufficient knowledge and skills in other disciplines to cooperate with experts from the other disciplines. Therefore, students specialise during the Master programme and learn how to solve complex biotechnological problems in a multidisciplinary team.
On the programme of Biotechnology page you can find the general outline of the programme and more detailed information about courses, theses and internships.
Within the master's programme you can choose one of the following Specialisations to meet your personal interests.
The first job after graduation, obtained by Msc biotechnologist, is often localised at a research institute or an university in- or outside The Netherlands. It usually concerns a research project or, more detailed, a PhD project: more than 50% of the graduated biotechnologist becomes PhD. Although most graduates choose for a career in science about 1/3 also starts in functions as engineer or technical expert. Read more about career perspectives and opportunities after finishing the programme.

Wageningen University & Research is one of the leading centres in Food Science and Technology in Europe and the world. The Food Safety programme of the university was the first MSc in Food Safety worldwide. The programme is unique, with a highly integrated approach to the field of food safety.
Most other programmes in this field focus on the technological aspects of food safety or focus on the interaction of food safety and food quality. The programme in Wageningen focuses on the technical aspects, as well as on the legal aspects of food safety and integrates these in Food Safety Management.
Wageningen University is one of the few universities in Europe with the ability to offer education and research in all fields of food safety. This includes not only technical disciplines such as microbiology and toxicology, but also the legal, economic, risk management and communication aspects of food safety.
On the programme Food Safety page you can find the general outline of the programme and more detailed information about courses, theses and internships.
Within the master programme you can choose one of the following Specialisations to meet your personal interests.
The programme is aimed to provide the market with graduates that can work as a food safety specialist in the food industry, governmental organisations, product associations or federations, food inspection services or similar, research institutes or specialized law agencies. Read more about career perspectives and opportunities after finishing the programme.

Research training opportunity based on a single project in molecular, environmental or medical microbiology.
Note: Financial support/funding for your training may be available - please see below.
For further details please go to http://www.kingston.ac.uk/research/research-degrees/fees/
The project can start at any time. Training duration (full time) - 1 year.
The candidates will be able to select a title from the list below, or suggest their own project relevant to research conducted in the host laboratory. Our priority areas of studies are: molectual mechanisms of interaction between pathogenic bacteria and host cells, virulence factors, mechanisms of bacterial stress response, molecular genetics and genomics with a focus on Campylobacter jejuni and other bacterial pathogens.
Examples of potential research projects:
(1) Investigation of host-pathogen interaction (e.g. to study of adhesins of Campylobacter jejuni and cognate host cell receptors)
(2) Application of IonTorrent Next Generation Sequencing for comparative analysis of bacterial pathogens (e.g. to study genetic mechanisms responsible for structural variation of a capsular polysaccharide of Campylobacter jejuni)
The research will employ a wide range of state of the art microbiological and molecular biology techniques, and a successful candidate will receive extensive training and support from an experienced supervisor.
It is expected that the student will actively participate in scientific meetings and writing research articles with a possibility to progress to a PhD, and a postdoctoral post in future (depending on performance).
- enthusiastic and eager to learn;
- keen on research in molecular microbiology in general, and in investigation of bacterial pathogens in particular.
- some basic skills in bench work would be beneficial.

My girls have been selected for Camp GLOW and they are so excited! I am busy cross checking stationary store prices, asking Ugandan businesses for donations and making clear spreadsheets of counselors, staff and camper information. Now, we also want you to know more about the issues that are involved as to why a Camp GLOW is necessary.
The Problem (written by Lauren Simkulak):
Currently young girls in Uganda face very difficult odds each and every day. They are at a high risk of teen pregnancy, early marriage, lack of school fees, discrimination towards proper education and jobs, pressure of entering into sexual relationships, among a variety of other potential problems. Although times are slowly changing, the idea that girls do not need to be educated and should instead remain at home and assist with housework, cleaning, cooking and digging (farming), i.e the traditional female roles in society, still exists within Uganda's culture. Females still hold less executive level positions than men in Uganda, and many Ugandans still believe that typical female jobs are nurses, teachers while men are doctors, businessmen, Members of Parliament, etc. This, of course, is not true for every Ugandan. But it is still a struggle for Ugandan girls to become empowered in their society, and at times even in their own homes and relationships. Young women especially have a difficult time breaking from these traditional female roles and lack the confidence, leadership skills and initiative to make good, healthy decisions for their future. History has proven that an empowered female is an integral part of development of a community and country. They are more likely to demand condom use, be able to provide for her children and achieve a higher level of education.
What is Camp GLOW (Girls Leading Our World)?:
Camp GLOW began in Peace Corps Romania in 1995. The goal of this camp was to encourage and inspire young women to become active citizens by building their self-esteem and confidence, increasing their self-awareness and developing their life skills in goal setting, assertiveness and career and life planning. Since 1995, many Peace Corps countries have implemented Camp GLOW or very similar camps via Peace Corps Volunteers. Uganda, until now, has had no such camp. This year will be Uganda's inaugural Camp GLOW! It will take place from December 5-11th, 2010. And I, along with my two friends Lauren and Celeste, are the Directors of the camp.
Camp GLOW Uganda:
Specifically, the goal of our Camp GLOW is to empower young Ugandan girls (ages 13-15), provide them with new information and education and give them the opportunity to see for themselves all the possibilities they have in the future when they make good decisions. This will be accomplished through leadership training, health education, sports activities, arts and crafts, HIV/AIDS prevention and education, career outlooks and goal setting. Over 150 girls from across Uganda will be participating in the week-long camp. 30 Counselors (15 PCVs and 15 Ugandan women) will assist in guiding the girls through various sessions all week. Each day, they will participate in sessions on the prior-mentioned topics, in addition to meeting and interacting with an empowered Ugandan adult female. We have already recruited a CEO, a Member of Parliament, a musician, a medical doctor and a professor at Uganda's national university. This will, without a doubt, be one of the most memorable parts of the camp for the girls.
What makes it sustainable?
These girls will return to their communities, form a life skills club with at least 20 new girls, with the help of their female Ugandan teacher/community worker, who also attended the camp as a Counselor, and the help of PCVs in their area. Also, the 15 Ugandan female counselors can return to their communities and teach the skills they learned at the camp to other students, teachers and colleagues.
We have applied for a US government grant and are also working with Ugandan businesses to provide the necessary money to run this camp. If you are interested further in Camp GLOW please check out our website here and if you are interested in supporting Camp GLOW look here.

Why Darknet Markets Are Popular And Some Of The Things People Buy And The Risks They Get Exposed To
Darknet markets have been in existence for a long time, way before electronic commerce became popular and that is where people who want to purchase all the illegal items go. If you want to access these sites remember that with regular browsers you might not find them. When people are buying illegal items they do not want to sell out their position, therefore, they will go to any extent to hide their location, and that is the information these browsers help people hide so that the authorities cannot trace them at any time when they try looking.
In these sites people buy all the craziest things one can ever think of including followers for your social media platforms. Some of the famous social media strategists in the world right now have used this platform in one way or another to become more famous and maintain their relevance in the market. Your popularity can shoot in seconds depending on the amount of money one is willing to pay.
Hard drugs are the most purchased items in these darknet markets, and that is the reason US and European officials ordered the closure of some of the biggest Darknet markets. It is easy for someone who messed their lives and had their life fixed once to have it all once again through buying a new identity. Students who hate education do use such sites to buy fake degrees and use them when looking for jobs, and it is hard for one to tell the difference.
News For This Month: Markets
Anything explosive and weapons of mass destruction like rockets are available on these sites making it easy for people to access these articles as long as they have the money. Some people have been able to purchase harmful chemicals through these sites, but anyone who has been arrested has ended up in jail. People who want an easy way out use these sites to buy credit cards and also driving licenses which hackers can provide to them within a short period since they work fast.
Learning The "Secrets" of Websites
When you choose to use these sites be ready for anything because there is a high possibility you might end up being conned this losing your money. If your goods get stolen or lost there will be no way to retrieve them since the sites do not give you a platform to complain. There is a chance that you might get the wrong drugs so one should be extremely careful when purchasing from the site.
You do not know the vendors you are purchasing from but they do have your information and could use it whenever they want thus getting you in trouble. Your family members would be so disappointed opening your letter only to find that you had drugs mailed to you, therefore, think twice. It is not necessary to purchase these items, and you should think about the consequences.

While I've really enjoyed every photographer who's shared their work and different concepts here on the SCU site, my most favorites are those who step out of the ordinary and crank it up a notch by doing something different.
Well, meet a terrific new friend, Brooke Bryand. There's pretty much nothing Brooke can't shoot, but as she says in her video, she's most passionate about photographing families and loves images that capture those tiny details that help tell the story.
A big thanks to friends at Tamron USA for introducing me to Brooke and their never-ending dedication to education and making outstanding glass! Check out Brooke's site for more examples of how she tells each family's unique story.
Capturing those tiny toes and itty bitty lips can be a challenge when you don't have the right equipment. I turn to my Tamron 90mm 2.8 lens to photograph these details at newborn and baby sessions as well as cake smashes, which helps me hone in on the details to contribute to the whole story.
Shooting with a macro lens affords me the opportunity to shoot intimately with my subject. I am inches away from those cute toes and long eyelashes, which allows me to really capture the details for parents that they don't want to forget, yet so quickly will change.
My favorite subject to shoot with the 90mm macro is older babies (7 months to 1 year). This is the time of their life where they still have the baby rolls and haven't started moving enough to slim down when they start to walk. They are still pure baby (and often pure smiles), which makes my job pure fun!
I have three tips to share for photographing these subjects with a macro lens:
- Change your perspective: Because you are capturing the details, you don't necessarily need to be straight-on with your subject for every shot. Be sure to move around - getting above them and even behind them - to get a variety of perspectives while they are still in one position.
- Avoid the up-the-nose shot: We all want to get the image of those adorable pouting baby lips. But logistically, the lips lead right up to the nose. Be aware of your position and create a composition that will support the story you are telling without the unpleasant "nostril shot".
- Get close AND far: With a macro, we tend to get closer-closer-closer. But the beauty of this lens is that it doubles as a gorgeous portrait lens. Back away from your subject to shoot from afar. If you're shooting babies, this is a great opportunity to let them sit on their own while you back away (spotters remaining close to the baby at all times, of course), then surprise the baby with a peekaboo or a song to get their attention and grab a gorgeous shot with eye contact and delight.

Big Dog proved to be a dark brownish Amber colour--quite light for a porter. It poured with a nice cover of light tan head and exudes an aroma of roasted malts and nuts. It tastes about the same--malt over molasses, with some nut notes. There's a touch of hops evident at the finish.
Not a bad brew by a far measure, though it does fall short of the lofty standard set by 10W40. I feel like a beer called Big Dog should have a bit more bite--more strength and more bombast. However, this beer by any other name would still be a bit better than decent.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10.

Instagram wants to help you choose what pictures you see and when (Like it's parent company Facebook) by using algorithms to determine important pictures.
When you log into your account on the web, the features or experience you encountered is quite different compared to the mobile platform. Although, your account is quite visible, still you're able to browse through your photos and that's like how much you can do. Everything else was absent.
However, Instagram recently changed it's features on web with the introduction of the notifications tab, a little heart-in-a-circle icon in the upper right corner which shows you a feed of activities related to your account. The activities or functions include:

Our last day in NY, what an amazing last two month of exciting adventures, hundreds of new experiences and special times with special people.
Since being in NY we have seen and done a lot, aquariums, zoos, car racing, toy stores, exploring, and it has to be said it is beautiful here.
The two months have gone at just the right speed and we look forward to heading home and making the most of the next year before Eva starts school.
So what next, mmmmmm, new challenges and new horizons, the option of moving back to Melbourne has come up so a quick trip across the ditch to assess and see what can work for Eva and I and apart from that a bit of exercise and Eva has heard the snow calling so a trip south.
To the airport, excited as always for what lies ahead, Eva has been a great traveling companion and we have had nothing but a heap of fun.

Cleveland—Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) that works in real-time can be an invaluable resource for surgeons, said Justis Ehlers, MD.
However, the optimal platform for OCT integration into ophthalmic surgery remains unknown, said Dr. Ehlers, a staff physician on the vitreoretinal service of the Cole Eye Institute, Department of Ophthalmology, Cleveland Clinic.
Discover study
Dr. Ehlers and colleagues are conducting a prospective, multisurgeon, single-center study—the DISCOVER Study—examining the use of multiple microscope-integrated prototypes with real-time surgeon feedback through a heads-up display system, including the Rescan 700 (which is built into the Lumera 700 platform, Carl Zeiss Meditec) and a Cole Eye Institute iOCT System. The DISCOVER Study evaluated both anterior and posterior segment surgery.
"The Rescan 700 is a prototype microscope-integrated iOCT system that is based on the Lumera 700 platform that includes heads-up display of the OCT data stream for the surgeon," said Dr. Ehlers, who discussed the vitreoretinal surgery component.
The interim 4-month analysis included 114 eyes (78 of which presented with vitreoretinal surgery needs). Average age was 61 years, and 47% of the patients were male.
Intraoperative OCT image acquisition was achieved in 77/78 eyes that underwent vitreoretinal surgery (99%). Surgical indications included epiretinal membranes, macular holes, vitreomacular traction, retinal detachment, and IOL subluxation. Of those eyes, 45 (58%) were phakic, 29 (37%) were pseudophakic, and four (5%) were aphakic.
Retinal detachment and epiretinal membrane were the most frequent diagnoses (23% and 31%, respectively). Vitreoretinal imaging was accomplished with both non-contact wide-angle and a contact lens viewing system.
Heads-up display system
"Initially, surgeons may have challenges adapting to the heads-up display system while performing particularly delicate manueuvers," Dr. Ehlers said, but he believes this is primarily attributed to the typical learning curve rather than a true deterrent to the system.

A couple of hours later, we were back home and had to go through the ugly job of unloading and putting the groceries away. We had also stopped at the campground office to pay our deposit for next year. Yep, we'll be back in PA May 1st, staying for six months. But, we're going to have a different site next year; same row, just down three spaces. The new space has 50 amp electric!! Yippee!
I updated the finances and then just caught up on my computer reading, played my dulcimer for awhile and before I knew it, it was 5pm! The day went by quickly. An easy dinner of hot dogs and now it's just watching TV and settling in for the night.
Wanted to share some pictures with you. Penny from RV Dreams gave us a great suggestion for fixing our USB camera cord problem and it worked!! Thanks again, Penny!

Question Detail
how do you multiply whole numbers and fractions?For fourth grade level by common core standards?
- Math
- 4
- Common Core
Have you watched this video?
use area model
NF.A.2 focuses on comparing fractions with different numerators and different denominators. So the idea would be to focus on representing whole numbers as fractions (4 = 4/1), and create relationships between those whole number and other fractions. I really like using fraction tiles for these kind of lesson. It gives a visual and tangible example for students to see how dissimilar parts cannot be combined, and when made similar, could then be combined.

Iraqi security forces operations backed by the U.S.-led coalition are progressing toward liberating the key Iraqi city of Fallujah from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant control and killed the city`s ISIL commander, Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren told Pentagon reporters today.
Briefing from Baghdad by teleconference, Warren said Iraqi forces have cleared Karmah, 10 miles northeast of Fallujah, but have not yet entered the city of about 50,000 Iraqi residents.
Protecting Civilians
The Iraqi government has been clear that protecting these civilians is their priority, " he said. To communicate with Fallujah`s residents, coalition aircraft dropped leaflets telling those who cannot leave the city to affix white sheets on their rooftops to mark their locations, Warren said.
The Iraqi army is working on evacuation routes for Fallujah residents, while the Anbar provincial government has set up camps for the displaced people, he added.
The combined operation includes thousands of forces -- the Iraqi army and federal police, Sunni tribal fighters and the Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service, in addition to Iraq`s popular mobilization forces that are taking part outside the city, Warren said.
Coalition airstrikes from Taqqadum with some artillery fire are also supporting the operation to retake Fallujah, the colonel said, but he added it`s still early in the fight, so it`s unclear how long this battle will last. "
ISIL fighters have performed in one of two ways the past the last several months, Warren said. In Ramadi, we encountered an enemy that chose to stand and fight, " he explained. More recently in Hit and in Rutbah, ISIL hid behind women and children before throwing down their weapons and running away. In both cases, they lost. "
Warren said a local newspaper reported ISIL leadership arrested some of its fighters who had fled from Rutbah and executed them by cooking them to death in bakery ovens.
Counter-ISIL Forces on Operations in Raqqah
Syrian Democratic Forces battling ISIL control in that nation announced this week that they are conducting regular operations to liberate the countryside north of Raqqah, Warren said.
We will continue to support the SDF, particularly the Syrian-Arab component, as they conduct ground operations to further isolate the city, " he said, adding that more than 200 Americans advise the Syrian-Arab coalition as they pressure ISIL across a broad front stretching from the Tishrin Dam to Shaddadi.
Remembering Fallen OIR Service Members
Warren said it`s important this Memorial Day to remember the three Americans who lost their lives supporting Operation Inherent Resolve: Army Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Louis Cardin and Navy Chief Petty Officer Charles Keating IV.
These men are American heroes and will not be forgotten, " he said. Every warrior knows that when we speak the names of the fallen, they live on. "

Once we left Sugar Hill (Farmersville) we headed South on Hwy 78. We drove along the East side of Lake Lavon down into Rockwall, through Heath and on over to Forney!
So many beautiful homes along the way...I could almost live in any of them!
Once we arrived in Forney we headed to the Jot 'em Down Antique Store and to the East Fork Mall.
The Jot 'em Down Store has massive quantities of large European furniture. It is a huge warehouse filled with row up row of huge, oversized pieces of furniture.
I found this large "kitchen" piece...and I'm in LOVE! I NEED to build a kitchen around this piece.
It is so massive...and all the drawers are already marked for me!
So many nooks, drawers, shelves...I need a plan!!!! (I think I need to convince Peter first!)
I didn't take too many pictures in the Jot 'em Down, but you can go to their website and check them out. It's well worth the drive...especially if you are looking for that really special piece you won't find any where else!
The East Fork Mall is attached to the Jot 'em Down Store, so it's only a matter of wandering next door. With it being a rainy, cold day...it was best to be inside!
I found this big stack of old luggage...again, reasonably priced for those looking for a vintage piece.
I found several stacks of plates that were this "greeny-blue color". (You can't really tell the color in this picture, but they lean toward turquoise!) I told Peter I think I needed a whole set of these! He rolled his eyes (what's up with that?)
But...I always gravitate back to the "real" blue dishes. There is something so wonderful about a whole table set with blue dishes. Maybe I need more blue? (More eye rolling!)
Anyone need a honey pot? This was just one area where they were displayed. Again...there are many, many European antiques displayed throughout the mall.
Look who I found shopping! (I'm still looking for George Straight!)
We left Forney about 4:30 and headed back around the top side of Dallas. Heading North again we ended up at Plano Antique Land. I love the people there, they are soooo friendly!
I found these cute birdhouses made from Golden books.
How very cute and clever!
NOW, for those who ask me to specifically shop for you (you know who you are, Margritty!)
These are the only Tasmanian Devil glasses I saw!
And for those who are bargin shoppers...I saw these bowls in Plano for $89. However, I saw them earlier in Farmersville for $35! It's all about where you shop!!!!
Well, all in all it was a fun "Sunday Drive"!
till tomorrow...

Cameron: Avatar 2 Going into Ocean, Re-Release On the Way
Posted by Anonymous at 4/20/2010 08:17:00 PM

Source: Hero Complex
by Alex Billington
I knew it! What "place" does James Cameron love spending more time in other than outer space? Under the water, of course, he loves diving and most of his movies have had an underwater element or inspiration to them. In a brand new interview with Hero Complex, Cameron openly confirmed that the sequel, Avatar 2, will focus "on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative." It's an interesting interview so I suggest reading the entire thing, since Cameron talks about the re-release and all the radical environmental "reactions" to Avatar (like these crazy protesters in Palestine). Read on!

Some good news…hope it starts a trend…
It seems bashing teachers and tenure is not all that it is cracked up to be for some. Enter Alabama state Representative Daniel Bowman, this gentleman just switched his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat. The reason you ask: Well, it seems he didn't like teachers losing tenure and how they could be fired. I hope this starts a trend!
State Rep. Daniel Boman, who represents part of Tuscaloosa County, switched to the Democratic party today.
Boman, a 36-year-old lawyer from Sulligent, said Wednesday's vote on a bill to change the state's tenure and fair dismissal laws for educators convinced him he was in the wrong party.
Boman, elected as a Republican last November, voted against the tenure and fair dismissal bill that Democrats said removes much of the due process for teachers facing discipline or firing.
His district includes Fayette and Lamar counties and a slice of northwest Tuscaloosa County.
Boman's switch changes the dynamics of the Tuscaloosa County legislative delegation. The delegation, previously 4-3 Republican, now becomes 4-3 Democrat.
The switch reduces the number of elected Republicans in the House from 66 to 65 and increases the number of Democrats from 39 to 40.

Group E
Bayern Munich (Zep) 72 beat Evian (King Eric) 50
Zep continued his unbeaten start to his CL campaign as he comfortably saw off King Eric's side, despite playing away from home. While both managers had Bale, Mata, Walcott and Michu in midfield, it was the 'Power 5' *shudders* of Zep which gave him an immeasurable edge as Fellaini's brace was his highest scoring player. King Eric on the other hand forgot to use his January Wildcard and made no changes to his side as a total of five of his players didn't play in GW25; Tevez, Berbatov, Sterling, Gunter and Cuellar. Being restricted to 9 men clearly limited the output of King Eric's side.
Aston Villa (Epic Fail) 68 beat Bologna (Frazek) 61
Epic Fail bounced back from his Matchday 1 loss to Zep, pulling off a narrow victory over Frazek. Due to the injury to Remy on Friday, Frazek was forced to lineup 4-4-2 with Rangel coming off his bench for a whole 2 points. Both managers had Walcott, Fellaini and Michu in midfield, with the only differences being Frazek's Lampard to Epic Fail's Mata, while Frazek took the brave step of captaining Walcott over RVP. Both managers had Manchester United defenders as their only source of clean sheet points. The major difference in this tie was Epic Fail's strikers; RVP(c), Podolski and Lambert all producing the goods to overwhelm Frazek's side. Frazek's biggest regret will likely be the benching of Bunn this week, which inevitably lost him this matchup.
Zep is the early frontrunner in this group sitting pretty on 6 points after the first two matches. Epic Fail and Frazek are both on 3 points, but Epic Fail sits in 2nd place due to winning their matchup this week. King Eric will need to up his game as he's propping up the table without a point to his name. This week's matches are Evian vs Aston Villa and Bologna vs Bayern Munich.
Group F
Mallorca (Emperikal) 76 beat Troyes (Kaz) 68
Triple Everton for Emperikal, in the form of Baines, Fellaini and Anichebe, payed off handsomely after the 3-3 thriller against Villa at Goodison, as they produced 30 points between them. De Gea also produced a clean sheet for Emprikal, while Kaz's Mertesacker also kept a clean sheet. In attack there were only two differentials, with Emperikal's Anichebe and Suarez outgunning Kaz's Michu and Fletcher. Both managers had RVP(c), Bale, Mata, Walcott and Fellaini in common in attack. Ultimately it was Emperikal's acquisition of Anichebe which made him Victor(ious).
SpVgg Greuther Furth (Valar Morghulis) 57 beat Southampton (1966 – Eric was born) 45
Neither Valar Morghulis' or 1966's defence did anything of note this week scoring 7 and 6 points respectively. Both managers had RVP(c), Bale, Mata and Walcott who all produced returns this week. Valar Morgulis had Taarabt, Fletcher and Aguero to 1966's Michu, Puncheon and Ba. Ba was limited to a mere 42 minutes after Coloccini's kung fu left him with a broken nose. Aguero's brilliant goal against Liverpool and the ensuing 3 bonus points combined with the home ground advantage meant ultimately Valar Morghulis' men had too much for 1966's and they were triumphant.
2 wins from 2 so far means Valar Morghulis is sitting atop of the group on 6 points. Emperikal and Kaz are both on 3 points, but due to Emperikal's win over Kaz this week he occupies 2nd spot in the group. 1966 is stuck at the bottom of the table and will be desperate for a win this week to keep his hopes of progression alive. This week's matches are Troyes vs SpVgg Greuther Furth and Southampton vs Mallorca
Group G
TSG Hoffenheim (Eoin) 69 beat AS Roma (Udit) 49
A pair of vastly different teams faced off in this matchup. Both managers had only RVP(c), Walcott and Harte in common, with vast differentials in their teams. Both managers' defences performed adequately, as Eoin and Udit received clean sheets from Szczesney and Martin respectively. In attack it was Eoin's Pienaar, Bale, Kebe, Snodgrass and Suarez against Udit's Gerrard, Mata, Michu, Puncheon and Ba. Ultimately it was the double digit returns of Bale and Kebe, which proved decisive, and along with home advantage led Eoin to a comfortable 20 point win.
Chelsea (El Nino Rules) 94 beat Rubin Kazan (Le Gooner) 62
A monster score this week for ENR, as he recorded the 385th highest score in the world this week. RVP-less since GW18, this risk payed off big time this week as ENR's strong lineup almost all delivered. Kebe, Fellaini, Bale and Aguero(c) all hit double figures for ENR, while only Silva out of his front 7 drew a blank this week. Le Gooner on the other hand, was much more reliant on his defence to boost his tally this week. Double Norwich, in the form of Bunn and Turner, as well as Harte meant Le Gooner's back 4 compiled 26 points between them. Blanks from Michu, Santi and Suarez dented his chances, despite a hugely respectable score this week.
Back on his old stomping ground ENR is the only manager in this group who is undefeated, and sits on 6 points from 2 matches. Le Gooner and Eoin are both on 3 points, however, Le Gooner sits in 2nd due to his victory over Eoin in their Matchday 1 contest. Udit is bottom, yet to record a point in this group. This week's matches are TSG Hoffenheim vs Chelsea and Rubin Kazan vs AS Roma.
Group H
Benfica (Aatish) 57 beat Borussia Monchengladbach (Ginkapo) 54
An incredibly different set of teams faced off in this one, as Aatish scraped over the line due to home ground advantage. There were only two players common to both managers' teams; Fletcher and Walcott. Not much difference in defence in this one, as Ginkapo's extra clean sheet was balanced by a Baines assist and Begovic save points. Unfortunately for Ginkapo, who captained Ba, his man didn't even last until half time as he went off with a broken nose. Bale, Lampard, Silva and Aguero effectively balanced out Aatish's Fellaini, Puncheon, Mata and Michu, which was enough to see Aatish claim victory in this one.
Real Betis (Berbilly Gilmore) 55 beat Lazio (Forca Inter) 52
Another match in this group decided by home ground advantage. Both managers had RVP(c), Sturridge, Bale, Mata, Walcott, Michu, Pearce and Mignolet in this very similar matchup. The only three differentials in this one were my Baines, Davies and Giroud against Forca's Zabaleta, Rafael and Silva. Despite Forca's differentials coming up trumps on mine, home ground advantage was enough to give me my first win of the Champions League.
All four managers are tied on 3 points apiece, with only GD separating the teams at this stage. Top of the standings currently is Forca with a GD of 8 points, Ginkapo is second with a GD of 1, I am third with a GD of -1 and Aatish is currently last with a GD of -11 points.

I'm still alive - a bit loopy from the drugs - but alive. All went well yesterday and Leslie was able to drive me home at about 3:00 PM. I slept most of the afternoon, went down to watch TV around 6:00, then quickly fell asleep again and was back in bed by 9:30.
Over the last week I had compiled a list of questions to ask the doctor after the surgery regarding recovery - what to expect, what to do, what not to do, etc. While in the prep area, waiting to go into surgery, Leslie was showing the list to anybody she could; the nurse, the anesthesiologist. They all reassured us that my doctor would answer all that and more in the recovery room.
After being wheeled into the operating room I was pleased that the radio was on and playing "Funk 49" by the James Gang (early Joe Walsh). I was rocking out while the anesthesiologist hooked up my IV. He also told the others in attendance about my typed up list of questions.
One of the assistants asked what was on it. I explained that the most important thing was, "What can I eat, and when?" He asked what I wanted, and I replied bar-b-que, which led to an animated discussion among all present about where to go for BBQ locally, as they rolled me from the bed I came in on onto the operating table, face down. And that's about when the drugs hit.
All I remember about the surgery itself was a couple of times they asked about my pain level, but other than that I was completely (and thankfully) unaware of what they were doing back there.
When I woke up in the recovery room they offered me a couple of crackers and a can of Sprite to get things running again. Leslie had already had a long talk with my doctor about the list of questions, and had a stack of information for us to take home. Not too long after that (or so it seemed, it may have been more than an hour) they sent us home.
I went directly to bed and turned on the radio, which happened to be playing "Life's Been Good" by Joe Walsh (remember the radio in the operating room?). I took that as a good sign, and as adding a nice bit of symmetry to the experience.
And so, today, I'm a little loopy from the drugs, and a bit uncomfortable, but not in too much pain, and in a generally good mood.
