I am having a GIVE AWAY!

**Please note that there is some kind of GLITCH that I have not figured out! If you try to open a document and you are asked for a password and user name, simple click on OK. The document will still come up. I have no idea why it does this- or how to get it to stop!!*****
I created this website to share ideas that I have used (and liked) in my 4th grade classroom. In 2007 I moved down to 2nd grade. I continued to post many of the ideas I have found that will apply to a primary classroom and add it to the existing site pages. For the 2009- 2010 school year I will be moving up to third grade. This was an impulsive decision (what was I thinking??!!) but I am really looking forward to the change!
It always seems like I am surfing the web for practical ideas on how to do something or how another teacher does it. I will try to include copies of things that I use regularly. Much of information I have posted applies to fourth grade. However, these ideas can be modified for most any grade level. I have learned that I adapted many of my fourth grade lessons for my second graders and I am sure I will do the same in third.
I would LOVE for this to be a place where ideas are shared. If you would like to share an idea that you have successfully used in the classroom- please email me. I will make sure to give you credit!!
Please sign my guestbook below and let me know what you think!
Are you looking for something in particular? Let me know so I can be working on it! If you needs are not met by this poll, please email me!

Your AMS membership supports our vital mission and includes valuable opportunities and benefits.
View more benefits of membership in AMS »
Schooling is mandatory for all children in the United States, but no single instructional approach fits all children. Parents value school choice—they want to select an educational program that meets the learning needs of their child. Public Montessori allows families in any income bracket to choose Montessori for their children.
More than 400 public schools nationwide offer Montessori programs. For these schools—as with private Montessori schools—membership in AMS is optional. We are pleased to include a growing number of public Montessori programs as part of the AMS "family."
Public Montessori education is a popular option for preschool through high school students attending all types of publicly-funded schools—neighborhood, magnet, and charter.
Public Montessori programs range in size from single early childhood classrooms to school-wide elementary or high school programs. Some operate as a "school-within-a-school," sharing a building with other classrooms that have a different instructional approach.
In 2012, AMS launched the National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector (NCMPS) to assist with the growth and sustainability of Montessori programs in magnet, charter, and district schools across the country. The Center is now independent, but works in close collaboration with AMS. For more information, contact NCMPS director Keith Whitescarver.
While all Montessori classes should in essence be the same, some differences do exist among them. However, elements essential to a quality public Montessori program have been identified by these leading Montessori organizations:
American Montessori Society (AMS)
Association Montessori Internationale (AMI)
North American Montessori Teachers' Association (NAMTA)
Montessori Education Programs International (MEPI)
Southwestern Montessori Training Center (IND)
These organizations agree that quality Montessori public programs must include:
You can read the complete recommendations in "Essential Elements of Successful Montessori Schools in the Public School Sector."
Because they are publicly funded, public Montessori schools are open to all children. They do not generally require incoming students to have prior Montessori experience; however, some restrict the admission of children without Montessori experience to lower elementary levels only.
Upper elementary students are typically transferring from another Montessori program; their transcripts and other records may be reviewed to ensure that the scope and sequence of their prior program's curriculum is similar to that of the new school.
Some middle-level programs do accept students new to Montessori but may ask for teacher recommendations based on a student's ability to work independently.
Students are often admitted to public Montessori programs by lottery because there tend to be more applicants than openings. In making admission decisions, schools try to maintain an age and gender balance of students in the classroom.
Once a student is enrolled, he or she is not required to reapply in subsequent years. Siblings of current students are usually admitted automatically.
Montessori public schools must meet the same standards as other public schools: they receive a state "report card," are accountable for their students achieving adequate yearly progress, and comply with other federal education regulations.
Public Montessori school students are required to take the same standardized tests as students in traditional public schools.
Public Montessori schools guarantee that Montessori classroom teachers are licensed by the state at the level they are teaching in addition to being certified by an accredited Montessori teacher education program.
Tuition may be charged for 3-to-4-year olds in public school pre-kindergarten classes that are not fully covered by state funding. If required, pre-kindergarten tuition is usually paid on a sliding scale depending upon the family's eligibility for the National School Lunch Program (free, reduced, or full-pay).

Marines visit San Francisco for Fleet Week, earthquake planning
More than 700 Marines and sailors from Camp Pendleton have deployed to San Francisco on a mission to win hearts and minds.
As part of the annual Fleet Week celebration, Marines are working with San Francisco officials on an earthquake relief strategy in case a major quake isolates the city by disrupting bridges and freeways.
The Marines are prepared to use ships to set up emergency medical facilities and aircraft to bring in supplies, officials said.
Lessons learned from the Marines' humanitarian relief effort during the recent earthquake in Japan are being incorporated into the San Francisco planning, officials said.
A planning session will be held aboard the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard, docked near Fisherman's Wharf.
Marines are also set to receive training from San Francisco firefighters in urban search-and-rescue techniques on Treasure Island.
Marines will set up a display on the Marina Green and march in the Italian Heritage/Fleet Week parade. A Marine band will give a concert at Golden Gate Park.
San Francisco's reputation as a bastion of liberalism, which sometimes can give rise to an anti-military attitude, had made some Marine leaders reluctant to participate in a Fleet Week.
But after last year's Fleet Week was deemed a success, with Marines and sailors roaming San Francisco in uniform and being received warmly, the Marine Corps has increased its participation this year.
"Fleet Week is about exposing the Marine Corps to America," said Maj. Gen. Melvin Spiese, commanding general of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade. "San Francisco is no different."

blinded by blood
Do you eat meat?
Blame Nogitsune for making me start this topic, out of a series of partially off-topic posts in the environmental thread concerning cows.
Do you eat meat? Or are you a vegetarian, or a vegan? If you don't eat meat, is it a preference thing? Do you just not like the taste of it, or is it a moral stance you take? Do you believe it's cruel and unnecessary for humans to use animal-derived products?
As for me, I do in fact eat meat. I find that meat tastes very good, and I would not want to live without eating meat. Furthermore, I also use many secondary animal-derived products such as dairy, gelatin and eggs as well as buy leather goods.
I don't think this is cruel or have any problem with it. All life must kill in order to live. As long as we make sure the animals are treated and slaughtered humanely, I fail to see an issue with it.
But perhaps you do have issues with it. That's what I'd like to hear about.
Now the meat industry, I have quite a few problems with it. Specifically, I'm not very fond of cramming them into small cages and pumping them full of chemicals in order to make them grow much larger and much faster than normal.
"Altered" meats usually don't taste as good as more naturally-raised livestock. As a person who has spent most of her adult life working as a cook, the loss of quality from "mass-produced" meat products is deplorable.
For instance, the cheapest type of chicken available is often soggy and tasteless. Free-range, organic chicken may be smaller in breast size, but the meat will be much more flavorful and of a much higher general quality. In my experience this translates to a much happier customer. Monster portions of tasteless food don't satisfy nearly as well as modest portions of delicious food, after all.
So please... discuss eating meat, or not eating meat, and the reasons why you do or don't!

I love meat, meat makes my life worth living. I don't consider a meal to be a meal unless theres a slab of dead animal in front of me.
I have no problems with Vegetarians doing it for health reasons, but those who do it cause they think eating meat is morally wrong... all I can do is roll my eyes.

I eat meat around 4 times a week, if not more. I try eating little bit of everything, but some vegetables are just biologically rejected, so I get to try out pasta, eggs, rice or potatoes along with meat.
I don't have time to consider it morally wrong, I need a full stomach in order to get my H/W done and time is pressing, as always.

Oh good bloody gods, my totem animal is a Wolf, I LOVE meat, the rarer the better...
I keep poking my husband into getting his bow hunting license so he can supply me with venison.
Then again, we believe in using as much of the animal as possible. We do leather working, so the hide would be put to use after tanning, etc
I can't bring myself to support hunting just for sh*ts and giggles; it seems wasteful. And I dislike the meat industry, but where I live there's not a lot of options to get meat in other ways, especially not on the lowered income we're on right now, till I get a job.
I also agree with the free-range thing; I have had to reduce my spending on such things since losing my job, but the difference is astounding... Not to mention I dislike putting artificial stuff into my body (I take a holistic approach to most things), so it seems silly to avoid man made medicines, etc only to put man made chemicals in me by way of my food.
One of the loves of my life is vegetarian, and I'm OK with that; I just could never do it. When she visits, we have an agreement: the top shelf of the fridge is hers for however long she's visiting, and we have a couple of pots/pans reserved for her use so there's no icky meaty germs in it (LOL j/k).
She cooks for us, though, and has even made a chicken dish, so she doesn't try to force her views/lifestyle on others.
Vegetarians hate going to dinner with me, as I generally order a med. rare steak and then they turn green at the yummy juices

I actually am quite fond of vegetarian dishes and vegetarian foods. I love black bean burgers, sometimes I even prefer them over a real hamburger.
A lot of times I just boil some pasta and eat it with butter, herbs, garlic and parmesan cheese. Easy, quick, tasty.
While I do love meat, I don't need to have it every day. ^^;

Abso-freaking-lutly I eat meat. I generally only eat it as a course for my dinner since that's the only consistent meal I eat. Have to settle for cereal or some pop-tarts whenever I eat brunch, but I still love me some bacon and sausage when I can get it.
I could use a rack of BBQ ribs right now.

I am an advid meat lover (although pasta is still my favorite of all meals). However I tend to stay away from what i call messy meat, as in meat you have to constantly touch with your hands to consume.

Donatella Versace is a Bikini Babe
Donatella Versace An Italian countess boldly walks around in a bright bikini with a mystery male on Wednesday, Christmas Eve (December 24) in St. Bart's.
The 53-year-old fashion designer recently said that customers have a more sophisticated eye and a more active life. She said, "Women want a different kind of fashion – less loud, more sophisticated, still sensual, still glamorous."
Donatella also described the Versace shopper: "She's confident, for sure. Determined. … Women use fashion to achieve goals. A great dress is a great weapon – for their career, for their private life, for so many things."
UPDATE: JJ reader Jon writes in, saying, "That's not Donatella. That woman is an Italian countess who has had a home on St. Bart's for over ten years."

BOSTON, Mass. - Led by four new Institute records, MIT scored nine points to place 20th in a field of 32 at the New England Intercollegiate Indoor Track & Field Championships held at Boston University. The Engineers finished seventh among all Division III schools.
Junior Adrienne Bolger played a part in two of the new standards. In the 1000m, she set a new program-best 2:58.43 in the trials which improved her own week-old mark; she missed on a chance to repeat the record-breaking feat in finals although her 2:59.18 was good for seventh place. She returned later in the afternoon to run a sub 2:20 leg in the 4x800-meter relay, as the team of Bolger, Andrea Bradshaw, Jacqui Wentz and Leanne Veldhuis crushed the two-week-old record in the event by over 10 seconds, clocking 9:25.86 for sixth place.
Sophomore Amy Magnuson lowered the MIT record in the 55-meter hurdles twice on Saturday, clocking 8.18 seconds in the semi-final round, and knocking off .02 more in the finals where she placed sixth overall; the 8.16 ties for the fastest Division III time in the nation and marked her fourth school record in the event this season. Magnuson also competed in the long jump (19th, 16'3.75") and triple jump (20th, 33'10").
Also scoring points was sophomore Emily Hwang, who finished in a three-way tie for seventh in the pole vault with a jump of 10'10". Senior Aline Thomas bettered the NCAA Division III provisional qualifying standard in the weight throw with a personal best of 49'10" which also makes her No. 2 on the all-time MIT performance list.
Bradshaw placed 16th in the 800-meter trials, her 2:18.39 the second best in Tech history. Veldhuis was 25th in the 500 meter trials (1:20.95), and Wentz moved to No. 3 on the Institute's all-time mile list as she finished second in the unseeded heat in 5:09.82. Karen Fisher was 12th in the pole vault (10"4").

Mythbusters Crew Accidentally Fire Cannonball Through Suburban Neighborhood... Quickly Start Deleting Tweets Of The Evidence
from the careful-what-you-tweet dept
But they missed.
Instead, the cannonball went hurtling through the suburban northern California town of Dublin, at 4:15, just as kids were getting home from school. According to the SF Chronicle report on this:
The cantaloupe-sized cannonball missed the water, tore through a cinder-block wall, skipped off a hillside and flew some 700 yards east, right into the Tassajara Creek neighborhood, where children were returning home from school at 4:15 p.m., authorities said.Wow. Amazingly (and thankfully) no one got hurt in all of this. CBS has some astounding video of the carnage, including showing how the cannoball bounced around that house on Cassata Place putting holes in a bunch of places:
There, the 6-inch projectile bounced in front of a home on quiet Cassata Place, ripped through the front door, raced up the stairs and blasted through a bedroom, where a man, woman and child slept through it all - only awakening because of plaster dust.
The ball wasn't done bouncing.
It exited the house, leaving a perfectly round hole in the stucco, crossed six-lane Tassajara Road, took out several tiles from the roof of a home on Bellevue Circle and finally slammed into the Gill family's beige Toyota Sienna minivan in a driveway on Springvale Drive.

UW Hosts Astronomy Experience for Students from Across the Nation
Six undergraduate students from across the country will come together to study astronomy at the University of Wyoming.
According to the University, six undergraduate students will have the opportunity to venture out at night and explore the stars at either the Wyoming Infrared Observatory on Jelm Mountain or Red Buttes along Highway U.S. 287. The UW release goes onto say students will also learn how to work in a team environment, learn scientific programming, data analysis, and improve their public speaking skills.
"This provides students a firsthand understanding of what it means to be a scientist," says Daniel Dale, a professor and chair of UW's Department of Physics and Astronomy. "This experience will inform them of what they want to do for the rest of their lives."
The University says this special program was made possible due to a three-year, $200,000 National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) grant UW locked up. The University adds that this is a great opportunity for young college students to get the opportunity to learn about astronomy and what skills are involved to be a scientist.
"These are excellent students, but with not a whole of research experience," says Dale, who is the grant's principal investigator. "We look for students with an enthusiasm for research in Wyoming, in particular."
The release goes onto say the six students were chosen out of 200 applicants from across the nation. According to the University, the six students are as follows:
Branchburg, N.J. -- Katie Lester, junior, astrophysics, Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa.
Dudley, Mass. -- James Chapman, sophomore, math and physics, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams, Mass.
Lakewood, Wis. -- Erica Keller, sophomore, astronomy, Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass.
Louisville, Ky. -- Emily Rolen, sophomore, physics and astronomy, Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.
Peoria Ill. -- Eric Topel, physics and math, St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn.
Virginia Beach, Va. -- Jamie Burke, sophomore, astrophysics and classical studies, Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pa.

Today, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released real, price-adjusted estimates of personal income for states and metropolitan areas for 2008-2012. The price-adjustments are based on regional price parities (RPPs) and on BEA's national Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index. The RPPs measure geographic differences in the price levels of consumption goods and services relative to the national average, and the PCE price index measures national price changes over time. Using the RPPs in combination with the PCE price index allows for comparisons of the purchasing power of personal income across regions and over time. These estimates are being released for the first time as official statistics.*
Growth in real metropolitan area personal income from 2011 to 2012 ranged from a decline of 3.8% in Kennewick-Richland, WA to an increase of 10.2% in Odessa, TX. After Odessa, TX, the metropolitan areas with largest growth rates of real personal income were Midland, TX (9.6%), Greenville, NC (9.0%), Jackson, TN (8.1%), and Columbus, IN (7.6%). After Kennewick-Richland, WA, the metropolitan areas with the largest declines were Watertown-Fort Drum, NY (-2.5%), State College, PA (-2.4%), Hanford-Corcoran, CA (-2.3%), and Sierra Vista-Douglas, AZ (-1.7%).
* Prototype statistics were released for evaluation and comment by users on June 12, 2013.

Growing Your Garden, One App at a Time
One of my earliest memories of spending time with my grandfather was watching him stand over an array of small pots in the dining room, carefully checking their growth. He explained to me that soon they would be ready to go outside in the garden, and eventually they would become vegetables. Not being super keen on some vegetables as a child, I had to squelch the desire to sabotage his budding collection waiting to be moved to the big plot outside.
Whether you have a large plot like he did, or a tiny indoor garden like apartment dwelling I do now, here are a few tablet apps for the iPad, Android, and Windows 8 tablets focusing on plotting, planting, and nurturing a garden.

United States District Court, D. Nevada
April 11, 2017
WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., Plaintiff,v.SFR INVESTMENTS POOL 1, LLC, et al., Defendants.
This is
one of many disputes over the effect of a nonjudicial
foreclosure sale conducted by a homeowners association
("HOA") after the prior owner failed to pay HOA
assessments. On August 12, 2016, a divided Ninth Circuit
panel in Bourne Valley Court Trust v. Wells Fargo
Bank held that Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 116's
HOA nonjudicial foreclosure scheme, as it existed before the
statutory scheme was amended in 2015, "facially
violated mortgage lenders' constitutional due process
rights." 832 F.3d 1154, 1155 (9th Cir. 2016); but
see Id. at *6-11 (Wallace, J., dissenting). I previously
stayed this case pending issuance of the mandate in
Bourne Valley because counsel for the purchaser in
that case had indicated that he would be filing a motion for
panel rehearing and rehearing en banc. ECF No. 4. Those
motions were denied and the mandate issued on December 14,
2016. Bourne Valley Court Tr. v. Wells Fargo Bank,
9th Cir. Dkt. No. 15-15233, ECF Nos. 75, 76.
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. moves to lift the stay. However, the
Supreme Court of Nevada recently decided Saticoy Bay LLC
Series 350 Durango 104 v. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage,
holding that "the Due Process Clauses of the United
Sates and Nevada Constitutions are not implicated in an
HOA's nonjudicial foreclosure of a superpriority
lien." 388 P.3d 970, 975 (Nev. 2017). The losing
parties in both Bourne Valley and Saticoy
Bay have indicated they intend to file petitions for
certiorari in the United States Supreme Court. Because
Bourne Valley and Saticoy Bay reached
opposite conclusions, the constitutionality of Nevada's
HOA nonjudicial foreclosure scheme may be decided by the
United States Supreme Court. See Sup. Ct. R. 10(b)
(identifying as a compelling reason for granting certiorari
that "a state court of last resort has decided an
important federal question in a way that conflicts with the
decision . . . of a United States court of appeals"). I
therefore continue the stay in this case pending a decision
on the petitions for certiorari in Bourne Valley and
Saticoy Bay.
district court has the inherent power to stay cases to
control its docket and promote the efficient use of judicial
resources. Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248,
254-55 (1936); Dependable Highway Exp., Inc. v.
Navigators Ins. Co., 498 F.3d 1059, 1066 (9th Cir.
2007). When determining whether to stay a case pending the
resolution of another case, I must consider (1) the possible
damage that may result from a stay, (2) any "hardship
or inequity" that a party may suffer if required to go
forward, (3) "and the orderly course of justice
measured in terms of the simplifying or complicating of
issues, proof, and questions of law" that a stay will
engender. Lockyer v. Mirant Corp., 398 F.3d 1098,
1110 (9th Cir. 2005). I find that a Landis stay is
appropriate here.
crux of the parties' dispute is whether the HOA
foreclosure sale extinguished the deed of trust. If the HOA
sale was void because Chapter 116 is facially
unconstitutional, then the parties' dispute is, in large
part, resolved or at least simplified. The Supreme
Court's consideration of the petitions in Bourne
Valley and Saticoy Bay thus could be
dispositive of this case, or at least of significant issues
in the case. As the jurisprudence and the parties'
arguments in this area evolve, the parties file new motions
or move to supplement the pending briefs, burdening our
already-busy docket. Bourne Valley and Saticoy
Bay no doubt will inspire more motions and supplements.
Staying this case pending the Supreme Court's disposition
of the petitions in Bourne Valley and Saticoy
Bay will permit the parties to present arguments and
evidence in the context of complete and resolved precedent,
and it will allow me to evaluate the claims in light of this
legal authority. Consequently, a stay pending the disposition
of the certiorari proceedings will simplify the proceedings
and promote the efficient use of the parties' and the
court's resources.
the claims or issues in this case before the Supreme Court
decides whether to grant or deny the petitions could impose a
hardship on both parties. A stay will prevent unnecessary or
premature briefing on Bourne Valley and Saticoy
Bay 's impact on this case.
potential damage that may result from a stay is that the
parties will have to wait longer for resolution of this case
and any motions that they intend to file in the future. But a
delay would also result from new briefing that may be
necessitated if the Supreme Court grants certiorari. So a
stay pending the Supreme Court's decision will not
necessarily lengthen the life of this case. Any possible
damage that a stay may cause is minimal.
I expect the stay pending the Supreme Court's disposition
of the petitions for certiorari to be reasonably short. The
petition in Bourne Valley was filed on April 3,
2017. The petition in Saticoy Bay is due April 25,
2017. The length of this stay is tied to the Supreme
Court's decision on the petitions for certiorari, so the
stay will be reasonably brief and is not
indefinite.[1] The stay will remain in place until the
proceedings in the Supreme Court have concluded.
THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.'s
motion to lift stay (ECF No. 10) is DENIED.
FURTHER ORDERED that this case remains administratively
STAYED. Once the proceedings in the United States Supreme
Court in Bourne Valley Court Trust v. Wells Fargo
Bank and Saticoy Bay LLC Series 350 Durango 104 v.
Wells Fargo Home Mortgage have concluded, any party may
move to lift the stay.
[1] The Supreme Court of Nevada stayed the
issuance of the remittitur in Saticoy Bay pending
the Supreme Court's disposition of the certiorari
proceedings. No. 68630, Dkt. No. ...

My regular homies y'all know I was talking about a huge thing that my dear Marianne helped set up?
Thus my welcome of the new homies.
Through Marianne I was hooked up to do my first fat related media thing and I got interviewed at The Root. Seriously don't read the comments. I've been warned. Now you have too.
Now I turn to you visitors from The Root.
I am technically on a vacation right now but I'm taking some time to welcome you.
Welcome to my litterbox. If you want to talk about fat please understand that if you are rude or disrespectful I will not tolerate that. If you have questions about FA or the stuff I talked about in the interview COME ON DOWN.
No seriously. If you want to remain anonymous that's cool. If you are uncomfortable leaving a comment email me here: shannon -at- shannon-writes.net, you can (AHA I fixed my form) come right here and ask me stuff totally anonymous if you want it to be. If you ask me really nicely I might answer you privately although, I warn you I am the worst correspondent in the world.
You can ask me about fatness, gothness, fashion, queerness, all kinds of stuff. Give it a shot I'm pretty nice for one of those awful fat people.
In the meantime I really encourage you to browse my archives. I talk a lot about health beyond the scope of the interview.
If you want to know a little more about me read some of my most recent posts.
Here's the thing.
I'm not really a hard science/statistics type of blogger.
I am not good at that.
What I am good at is bringing these things to an intersectional personal place. I am good at helping myself and my homies and haters to see through a lot of the bullshit we see on a daily basis.
I'm also pretty silly sometimes.
I do honestly hope some of you visiting will come back. Fat politics are not just for fat people my friends. My flavor of Fat Acceptance is not just for my fat ass but it's for your not fat ass.
It boils down to the following though. Here is the quick and dirty.
- Fat Acceptance and body politics are not about who you think is sexy. No one except the people you are trying to get naked with cares.
- FA (I'll just use that from now on) is not about "making excuses", "spinning" or otherwise changing the actual facts about fatness.
- FA is about the importance of fat people and to a greater extent ALL people deserve to be treated with basic human dignity.
- FA is about being people who are fat and not walking buckets of fat disease and being treated as actual human beings.
- FA is about learning to undo the decades of self hatred drilled into the Fat Us and the Not Fat us.
- FA is about bodily autonomy.
- FA is about learning to love ourselves enough to maybe want to take better care of our bodies or at least not abuse them with crash diets, eating disorders and self loathing.
- FA is about learning and by extension teaching each other and ourselves that no, fat is not an indicator of anything except the fact that one is fat.
What I'm saying here folks is that FA is probably not what you think it is or want to believe it is.
I'm saying that it's not unreasonable, or a disservice to the community for me to stand up and say yes I am a fat person. Don't abuse me.
It really is that simple.
Don't. Abuse. Me.
That is directed at the doctors who refuse because of personal bias or wholesale belief in the Obesity Crisis to give us adequate or even basic health care INCLUDING preventative care which in the long term would make us Healthier.
That is directed at the people who threaten us with death, rape and maiming simply because we exist. Yes, I am absolutely speaking from personal experience there.
That is directed at the people who believe that they are better people simply because they are not fat.
That is directed at the diet industry that sells us pills that could cause heart attack, kidney failure or explosive greasy diarrhea.
That is directed at the people who bully us into secluding ourselves, suicides, risky surgeries and self loathing that takes years to unlearn and for some of us we never unlearn it.
That is directed to the well meaning advice givers who want to police what we eat and what we wear.
Are these things really so hard to do? Is it really so radical (yes I'm being facetious I KNOW it is absolutely radical) to say no I don't want to do that?
And before anyone starts talking at me about what I may or may not have said, please go back. Read again.
Also ask yourself a good question.
What is health?
Is it only looking healthy as in being thin?
Is it being able to run a marathon?
Is it being attractive to you personally?
Is your vision of health so narrow that it excludes the many intersecting parts of health? Culture, poverty, access to quality medical care at any point? Access to medication? Safe places for a woman or anyone who presents as female or vulnerable to go for a walk outside?
Is your vision of health one that says do not be fat at all costs including maybe your quality of life? Kidneys?
Does your vision of health not include empathy or even an ability to look beyond your sexual attraction preferences and see other people as whole human beings not just a picture you say on the news that upset you?
This is where I'm inviting you into the life and thoughts of your resident fat homie.
Let's talk. I am deeply invested in you my homies. I care about your whole selves not just your butts, even though some of you...well I've seen your butts and oh yeah.
So my homies, new homies and haters.
What's good?
Did any of my homies do some homework?
Did you have to get rough with yourself this week?
Did you do something nice for yourself?
Tell me all about it.
Regular posting will resume on Monday I promise.
I love you intertubes.
Homo Out.

Being jealous of what other people have is, as George Carlin pointed out, the basis for the entire economy. Your neighbor, he said, gets a solid gold vibrator that plays 'Oh come, all Ye faithful', and you wanna get one too!
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sun May 26, 2013 11:41 am
I'm not talking about Joe Blow on the other side of town with a nice car and twice my salary. I'm talking about an entire world economy based on fictional money. Trillions of dollars of national debt, most of it completely made up. That money that is lent isn't based on gold in some bank vault. It's literally created out of thin air for the purpose of debt. Banks trade and sell debt. Gamblers on wall street get rich off of that alone. It's what caused the economic crisis to begin with. It's what causes every bubble and the subsequent crash of that bubble.
It's sick.
So yes, I think we'd be better off. I think it's a misconception that if there wasn't some giant 2 big 2 fail bank to lend money, business wouldn't exist. It would exist. It would just have to be responsible.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sun May 26, 2013 12:02 pmThe entire economy today exists because Americans, and America, is in a constant state of overwhelming debt. You have the national debt, you have business founded on debt, you have mortgage debt, car debt, student loan debt, credit card debt. It's easy to say "Well it's people's choice to have a credit card." But in fact, it's the American way of life, and it's really a kind of slavery. Metaphorically as well as actually, because the giant corporations that own all of this wealth are only able to suck money out of American consumers at such a disproportionate rate to what they give back to them in wages because they are paying women and children in Asia $1 a week to work in deplorable conditions in sweat shops. This reality is promoted by our society on such a deep, institutionalized level that a peon like you (or me) can go on a message board and, with a straight face, blame someone who took a bad mortgage loan for the economic crisis. Really? A person who lives in a society where debt and spending above your means is a way of life that is indoctrinated into everyone from the moment they're born is at fault for taking a bad loan, as opposed to the lending institution who made that loan in the first place ON PURPOSE?
Rockman. Read a book.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sun May 26, 2013 12:09 pm"I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy."
- Thomas Jefferson
by guitarsmashley » Sun May 26, 2013 12:09 pmI have no problem owing my many thousands of dollars in credit card debt and things like car loan and but the student loan debt is pretty crushing. Just go with the student loans and call it a day.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sun May 26, 2013 12:15 pmStudent loan debt is vastly inflated. A college education isn't worth anything near what is paid for it. It only costs that much because our society has allowed it to become inflated through student debt. The same is true of real estate though. And really, everything. If people had to pay for things with real money, things would cost a lot less.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sun May 26, 2013 12:16 pm
I guess we learned nothing.
by guitarsmashley » Sun May 26, 2013 12:35 pm
Student debt is the bubble getting ready to burst. And burst very very very hard. My total loan debt is just under my annual salary.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sun May 26, 2013 12:47 pm
God damn all those greedy students with their free boats ruining our economy.
by Rockman » Sun May 26, 2013 2:29 pmJude is pretty close to rambling about winter and summer folk here in a minute.
by Juan Cena » Sun May 26, 2013 2:59 pm
Appropriate since Jude is both winter and summer folk.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sun May 26, 2013 4:44 pm
And you're simply regurgitating the beliefs instilled in you by cultural hegemony with no real thought process behind them.
by Juan Cena » Sun May 26, 2013 4:47 pm
Wait, Niktrist is the "cultural hegemony" now?
by Rockman » Sun May 26, 2013 4:54 pm
oh I get it you're a marxist, that's cute.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sun May 26, 2013 5:12 pm
Oh, you can use wikipedia now, that's cute.
No, I just think that the super rich and corporations have become way too powerful, our government is corrupt and serves only their interests, and the people are screwed royally. I'm by no means a communist, I think people should be able to work to better their lives and social standing. The problem is there's very little class mobility, which used to be the heart of the American dream, left in this country, and the powers continue to take more of it away. They do it with Patriot acts and gun control, inciting meaningless class and racial tension that serves as a red herring to the real problem, and with the continual promotion of rampant consumerism on top of debt while at the same time moving all of the jobs overseas where they can basically get slaves to do them. I think that all the things that both the left and the right complain about and blame each other for are actually part of a concerted effort by the powers that be to oppress the people, I've been saying this for some time about everything, and I'm honestly astonished that everyone doesn't see it.
The tea party and the occupy movement were both railing against, and ultimately trivialized, marginalized, perverted, and squashed by these interests and the powers that be by people like you (or your leftist equivalent), who just take what you've been trained to think by the powers that be and their media pundits and regurgitate it without ever really thinking about what any of it means or what's really going on. You don't need to back it up with any kind of logical argument for why things work the way they do. You just accept it as the truth because it's the way things are.
Your platitudes about people "paying their debts" are silly because it's not a matter of a person who worked hard to gain or create property selling it to a person who needs that property. It's huge financial institutions, immune to any kind of accountability even to government, in control of that government because politics in this country are entirely based on money, in control of all of the real estate in the country. Unless you're a millionaire, the only way you can own property in this country is by taking a mortgage and paying interest to banks, and if you can't afford that you can at least pay them through rent. There's no alternative, and therefore, no real constraint of supply and demand to keep prices in any way reasonable. Because, make no mistake, when the market went bust and real estate prices dropped, rent prices rose. Because people HAVE to live somewhere, and the banks gotta have that money.
That's not a free market. It's tyranny.

The only limitation to soft proofing to another color space is that while LR will allow you to change rendering intents, in reality unless you have a special V4 ICC profile, you'll always only get Relative Colorimetric rendering...the rest of the soft proofing works the same for color spaces as printer profiles.
Are you implying that if I want to edit properly in Adobe 1998, I should stick with ACR?
The limitation is in profiles, not in LR. It would be the same in ACR I think.
This thread has my head spinning. Allow me to go off-topic a bit please. If I export from LR5 a tiff as aRGB1998, is that the same as if while editing in CS6 I were to "convert to" aRGB1998? In other words, does LR remap the color coordinates during export to profiles other than ProPhoto?
In LR, any edits and subsequent exports have to be handled using the ACR engine and it's color space (ProPhoto primaries with a linear gamma). That usually isn't the case, or let's say it doesn't have to be the case in Photoshop. So to make the answer simple, let's just say no, it's not the same. If you wanted to know the differences, you could conduct the two conversions in the two locations, then in Photoshop, subtract one from the other as explained here:http://digitaldog.net/files/Apply_Image.pdf
IF you have edits applied to the data in LR/ACR then I have to suspect you want that rendered out. So yes, that's preferable to not getting the edits you applied. The question may be this: I have a non raw file and I need to edit it and I could do this either in ACR or Photoshop proper, what's the best path? If you have a raw file, you have to process it through the ACR engine. So the question is moot.
Thanks again... "But" If, in LR I've optimized my RAW file then "Edit in CS6 - copy with LR Adjustments" (and I'm configured to do so as 16 bit tiff) and then only use CS6 to convert to aRGB... ? Is that to be preferred to just exporting from LR as tiff in aRGB? Or am I completely flummoxed?
There's the workflow of saving off iterations from a master and there's the workflow of editing the master. IMOH, once you move past the editing in LR, you now ask to 'edit in Photoshop' and have thus rendered that data, that data is now to be further edited in Photoshop. You can still use LR as a DAM to keep track of that edited iteration. You could also use that rendered iteration to spin off images that are say smaller in size, gamut etc (export for a web page). Or to make a print etc. The question becomes, what do you want to do with this sRGB copy? Probably doesn't matter if you spin it off from within Photoshop or LR, whatever is easier for you. They may not be 100% pixel value identical (again, do a test). The differences should be tiny.
I'm trying to wean myself off ACR and on to LR 4. I supply TIFFs in Adobe 1998. I'm aware that in LR I'm looking at, and editing in, ProPhoto RGB. Just about every article I've read on soft proofing deals with printing. Just to be sure, if I'm saving out to Adobe 1998, I should be soft proofing too. Right? Thanks. D.
The show display profiles option has been around for at least 3 versions if not more if memory serves me. Prior to soft proofing in LR4.The various dialogs where you can filter which profiles to show up (export, print).What it means is show Matrix profiles as well as LUT based/printer output profiles.

After 6 1/2 hours we arrived at Road 26, just north of Hannagan Meadows. For the next 12 miles, west, we were on a gravel/dirt road and past some beautiful ranch homes and exceptional mountain meadows. Just before the ranch we drove through the meadow where the Ranch horses were loose to graze. There were several foals that we would later meet. Sprucedale has been a guest ranch owned by the Wiltbank family since 1941. This week there would be 32 guests, and more than half were children. Every day we rode horses on outstanding mountain/meadow trails, able to get out of the "line" and enjoy an actual ride. Meals were home-cooked and delicious in the dining room. Activities included foal leading, cow milking, kittens & puppies, horseshoes, vollyball, football, rodeo events, dances, a cookout, a evening bonfire, and hay wagon ride. We knew this time of year is the "monsoon season" in Arizona, but we were caught off-guard a couple times with the suddenness and intensity of the storms. It even hailed one afternoon. But these rains passed quickly and except for the mud in the rodeo arena, quickly forgotten. One day I took an "historic drive" with "Big Emer" Wiltbank in his Suburban with three other guests, and we saw a great deal of the historic country/ mountains/ lakes and into the Apache Reservation. When we got to the site of the former logging camp "Maverick" it poured rain, but we got a good idea of where our guest cabins were originally built on the Apache Reservation, and later moved to Sprucedale when the logging contract ended many years ago. The last day included a gymkhana of pole-bending and keyhole racing. I competed in both, and did OK, with only minor stresses on my right wrist and shoulder (I'm not 14 anymore!).
Saturday, July 26, we went separate ways, with Braden, age 11, and I driving north on Hwy 191, and the rest of the family heading back home. Braden and I were going to Flagstaff to participate in the Elderhostel Intergenerational Program: Rails, Ropes and Rafts. But we had one day to kill, so I decided that a detour to Canyon de Chelly National Monument would be interesting. Leaving Sprucedale we encountered horses crossing the Highway at the first town, Alpine. Of course I stopped an took photos... we were the only vehicle heading north at the time. Then we passed Nutrioso (means beaver & bear in Spanish), Eager, Springerville and St. Johns. We got caught up in the Rodeo parade at St. Johns as we ventured into the old Mormon ranching town to get gas. Finally we reached Sanders at I-40 and I was able to get a brief cell-phone signal on Verizon. We called Alisa and they were just about to Morenci on the way home. We continued north on Hwy 191 to Ganado and the Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. It was a great surprise to visit this original trading post now on the Navajo Reservation. It was a step-back in time to enter the trading post built in 1883 and J. L. Hubbell's home. President Teddy Roosevelt was once a guest there. I spied an oil painting on the wall of the home, by Louis Akin, and ever seeking genealogical connections, I looked him up where I got home. Alas, he stems from a completely different Akin family than mine, as near as I can figure out. Just north about 30 minutes we reached Chinle, AZ and the entrance to Canyon de Chelly National Monument. We checked into the Thunderbird Lodge and with directions from the National Park Service visitor's center, we drove along the 19-mile south rim of the canyon and stopped at the beautiful overlooks. before sundown.
Sunday, July 27, 2008 Braden and I were up early to get breakfast at the lodge and take the Thunderbird morning truck tour into the Canyon floor. One must have a Navajo with you to enter the Canyon except at one particular trail to White House ruins. The canyon walls are up to 1,000 feet high and includes 2,000 prehistoric sites and 12 major Anasazi ruins. We enjoyed the open truck ride, especially when it criss-crossed through the river going up the canyon. But our schedule was tight, and after the tour we headed for a fast lunch and were off towards Flagstaff. I decided to try local Navajo Reservation Road 15 as the fastest route to Flagstaff. It turned out fine, and very scenic, but the Navajo Nation doesn't seem to post many roadsigns, so I relied on my map. We drove through Burnside, Cornfield, Sunrise Springs, Greasewood, Indian Wells, and Dilkon before returning to I-40 and a fast track to Flagstaff, and our La Quinta Hotel. Remarkably we arrived just exactly on time, at 3 pm, Arizona time (the Navajo Nation goes on federal time (day-light savings)). Just in time to check into our room and attend the Elderhostel registration. There were 37 of us, and mostly grandchildren, who would be here this week, and we all walked to dinner at the nearby Sizzler Restaurant.
This week was filled with so many wonderful and adventurous events and happenings, that I'd best just list them: Mon: Ropes Challenge Course (more later), Forest survival workshop, and Raptor presentation at the Flagstaff Arboretum. Tue: Bus to the Glen Canyon Dam; 3/4 mile walk to the Horseshoe Bend overlook; drive down 2-mile tunnel to the Colorado River to take rafts for floating down 25 miles to Lee's Ferry; dinner at Cameron Trading Post. Wed: Geology presentation at the University of Northern Arizona and freetime which Braden and I filled with a visit to the Pioneer Museum, and the Museum of Northern Arizona, finishing at the University of Northern Arizona Library - to search the Special Collections for my Ferrell/Blanding family neighbors when they lived in the Cliffs district northeast of Flagstaff (more later). Thur: Bus to Williams, AZ, then old train to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park. We hiked down Bright Angel Trail a for a ways and visited the historic buildings and sights on the rim. A great treat was double scoops of ice cream. There was a horseback train robbery on the train ride back to Williams, and singing cowboys. A great trip. Fri: our last day was the morning a Walnut Canyon National Monument just east of Flagstaff. There are more Anasazi cliff dwelling ruins in this beautiful canyon. All too soon our time ended and we headed back to Sierra Vista. Unfortunately, I would later learn that I'd forgotten to take the clothes hanging in the closet at La Quinta. When I later called them, they had put it all in a bag at the lost and found and we arranged to have it sent UPS to my home in Hawaii. Pheww!
To go back to the bit of genealogy research I was able to do. My great Aunt Fern Blanding married Lee R. Ferrell around 1914, but he died about three years later, so then she married his brother, Carl E. Ferrell, around 1917 and moved to a ranch near Flagstaff. They are located on the 1920 US Census at Cliffs Precinct, Coconino County, Arizona. My mom said that Uncle Carl was a big lumberman who, together with my grandfather, Leonard Pearce, and Aunt Fern, bought some property to raise potatoes and probably hay, etc. Looking at Carl's WWI Draft Registration card he shows he was at "Black Bill Park" a meadow area originally purchased by Black Bill ( H.Conrad West) when the land was a possible railroad track site to get to Grand Canyon. Braden and I visited the UNA Library to look up their neighbors that were there when my mom visited them in about 1920. Using the UNA computers I printed out the census pages and found the neighbors, the Harlow Jaeger family, Floyd & Daisy Copeland, and the Bert Doyle family. Braden searched the photo archives card cataloge and found an 1894 original photo of Bert Doyle standing on the steps of the Flagstaff city hall. We had to have white gloves, etc. to view the photos of him and also author, Zane Grey. I think Bert Doyle may have help guide Zane Grey around Flagstaff (Al Doyle was noted as the guide). Anyway I ordered a copy of that photo for $15 and should get it in the mail.
The long trip back south to Sierra Vista was a bit eventful. North of Phoenix there was a two-motorcycle accident which blocked Interstate-10. We sat at a standstill for 10 or 15 minutes then went about 5 mph merging into one-lane for the next five miles until we passed the scene. While stopped the digital thermometer readout on the truck rear-view mirror showed 122 degrees F. It was very hot and we were wondering how interesting it would be to have raw eggs and see them fry on the pavement. Between Phoenix and Tucson we narrowly avoided a terrific thunderstorm and sandstorm that passed across the highway just before us. We came upon two wrecks on either side of the highway who had been blown off. One car was totally upside down. At last we arrived back in Sierra Vista at sundown and had a nice reunion with the rest of the family.

Ensure That You Know A Field Fire Is Not InsuredTweet
If you are harvesting soybeans, do you have fire extinguishers on your combine, and a tillage tool parked in the corner of the field? There is a reason that National Fire Prevention Week begins next Sunday, and by the way, don't count on your crop insurance policy to help out with a field fire.
Crop insurance will only cover a crop lost to fire if there is a lightning strike that sets the blaze or the popular volcanic eruption, which will likely cause future farming problems in that field. Some farmers are unaware of the lack of crop insurance coverage for fire damage to a field, which is likely in the federal crop insurance handbook under moral hazard issues. Crop insurance does not want to indemnify a crop loss, which could have been set afire because of a yield that was low, but now low enough to trigger a crop insurance payment.
Kansas State University economist and crop insurance specialist Art Barnaby, says you probably received a note from your insurance agent that fire loss is not covered, because that would have been another opportunity for him or her to sell another policy. He says fire policies are not expensive and the insurance company has more tools to use in pursuing reimbursement from someone else who can be blamed for the fire, if it was not the fault of the farm operator.
One reason to have a tillage tool in the field, in case the fire was attributed to your combine, is the fact that the loss of an entire field would subsequently show up as a zero yield in your APH history, says Barnaby. That means your zero yield for the field will slowly float through your APH for the next 10 years pulling it down. Saving part of the field that is undamaged by the fire will be a good reason to fuss with moving the tillage tool from field to field as they are harvested. It may also spark a conversation with your insurance agent about a fire policy for the coming year.

Barnaby reminds farmers they can replace a zero yield with a "plug" yield, which is 60% of your county's T- yield, but only if the low yield is an insurable loss, (and fire is not.) Therefore, if a field averaged 25 bushels with the fire damaging a portion, that shortfall can be raised with the plug yield, but a zero yield from complete fire damage cannot be changed. That is the same rule that would be applied if someone had planted without filling the seed box, or had applied glyphosate to a non-gmo soybean field.
Barnaby says the reason the Risk Management Agency has the moral hazard issue in place is that a field with a half of a crop is better off than with a zero yield. Since it may be difficult to determine just how a field may have caught fire, he says the issue is resolved by not providing coverage for a field lost by fire. And he adds that a lightning strike is about the only sure way for a loss to be covered.
He says farm operators are better off to extinguish the fire themselves or get the help of a rural fire department than to let the crop burn and suffer with the lower APH. He says if the damage is small enough then the yield for the unit will be larger than the plug yield, so substitution in the APH will not be an issue.
Interestingly, Barnaby uses the fire loss as an example to make his frequent point that farmers with crop insurance losses are seldom made whole, in spite of the national press articles about excessive payments from crop insurance. He says few farmers would be better off without a crop.
A crop lost to fire is not covered by crop insurance, but only by a fire policy. The loss of a crop insurance unit to fire will be entered as zero in the APH; however a field with only a portion lost can be eligible for a "plug" yield. Fire is not covered because of the moral hazard issue.

NORTON, Mass. – The MIT men's swimming and diving team wasted no time in asserting its position among the region's elite, winning all nine events at the annual Charlie Batterman Relays hosted by Wheaton College. No official scores were kept, but the Engineers rocked the waters at Balfour Natatorium against the Lyons and regional power Tufts University in their season debut.
Junior Jeff Zhou and Luke Cummings paced the effort by participating in five of the winning relays. Zhou split a blazing 24.68 on the front end of the 200 medley relay and 23.14 anchoring the 200 fly relay. Cummings earned his victories from all four relay spots including the lead-off leg in the 400 and 500 free.
Senior Lauren Charpentier factored into four wins on the afternoon while rookie Brett Boval enjoyed solid splits in the 200 medley, 200 back and 200 fly in his college debut.

Oh man. Heisman Trophy? or Spike Video Game Awards? Heisman Effing Trophy? Or Spike Effing Video Game Awards? We have this problem every year. Actually, I'm going Spike, because the Heisman, unlike the VGAs, doesn't tell you what next year's big games will be.
Ostensibly an awards gala, the VGAs' biggest news value is in the first reveals of new titles, in between handing out the hardware to this year's. We can count on seeing more about the PS3 exclusive The Last of Us, a new title from Epic Games, and a BioWare game that's widely expected to be a Command & Conquer sequel.
That's in addition to trailers and teases for 2012 titles like Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Alan Wake Returns and Rainbow Six: Patriots.
We'll be carrying an embedded video feed from the show here on Kotaku, but here's an important reminder: If you're in the U.S. and have cable television like a civilized person, the VGAs will broadcast live wherever you are, regardless of what your local listings say. That means 8 pm EST/5 pm PST. So while you can follow along here on the site, you can see it bigger and better on your TV and not miss anything.
Your host tonight is Zachary Levi of NBC's "Chuck." Here's a list of all the awards and this year's nominees.

Ya see, I never believe that we're too far gone; I never believe that we're in too deep and we can't get out. I don't believe in surrender. I do believe in tolerance and compromise but even these have their limits. So, this blog is a test to see if i want to write a real blog. I'll post things I find interesting, or disturbing. I'll try to instigate conversation. I'll try to have fun and take a journey into humanity. I express my humble thanks to everyone that reads my words.
Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

There are plenty of moms who love a good robust red wine, or a crisp and citrusy white. But what comes to my mind for raising a glass on Mothers' Day is a blushing rosé, because honestly, it's pretty, and who doesn't want their mom to have beautiful things?Rosés are more than just a pretty face, though, and can be made in many different styles. Pick the mom in question's favorite style, then pour her a glass. (If
you're the mom, all the more reason to treat yourself!). Here are some of our picks to get you started:
Fizzy and fruity
Anna de Cordoniu Cava Spain
Dry and delicate
Jean Luc Colombo Cape Bleue Rose France
Intense and full-flavored
Chateau de Lancyre Pic St. Loup France
Of course, you're making a meal to go with that wine, right? Try one of our luscious brunch recipes, perfect for a celebration worthy of one of the most important women in your life.If your mom likes a hint of refreshing bitterness in her beverages-and you're making dinner instead of brunch-hand her a glass of Lillet Rosé on the rocks while you're adding the finishing touches. This elegant aperitif will whet her appetite for all the special mom's day treats you have in store!
Still stuck for a gift? Sharon Franke has a suggestion for all the wine-loving moms out there! Need recs for dessert too? Check out my friend Sherry's recommendations.
