The Best Gluten-Free Cookbook Ever!

Posted by Reviewer1043520 From Colorado on Apr 24, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
I borrowed this book from a friend and made a couple of recipes from it and fell in love with the it. I have been on a gluten-free diet for two years now and have been very disappointed with the quality and taste of any of the gluten-free foods on the market. I am now excited about cooking and eating again; that is how good these recipes are!
My new favorite cookbook!

I LOVE this cookbook! I have made several of the recipes already and they turned out so good! The chocolate chip cookies were chewy and moist and wonderful... even with no eggs! And so easy to make, too. The Banana cake with Coconut Frosting turned out great too! I am SO glad I bought this cookbook, I have already recommended it to several people!
some recipes okay

These recipes do not include eggs which is nice for people with allergies. However, the texture and stability of the end product is not always good and tends to fall apart or be too dense. She also uses TONS of agave syrup which I love but this and the almond flour result in very expensive baked goods.
excellent book

Though the recipes themselves are not stellar for flavor, the basic principles and ideas to build on are GREAT. I received much more than I hoped in this book, and will augment the flavors according to our family's taste. (My guess is that the author was writing a book for the basics, and the recipes and information contained in it open all kinds of doors for flavor experimentation.) Highly recommended.

County locks in jail bonds at low interest rate
The Marion County Commission, at its Feb. 6 meeting, took the final step in authorizing the sales tax general obligation and refunding bonds that will be used to finance the new $3.5 million jail.
David Arteberry of the Kansas City, Mo., company George K. Baum and Co., was on hand to review the final documents and collect the signature of board chair Dan Holub.
"On (Feb. 2) we offered the bonds to investors and locked in the interest rates," Arteberry said. "On (Feb. 3), there was a federal jobs announcement that was very positive—a lot bigger than what most people had predicted. Interest rates on (Feb. 3) actually jumped up, so you were able to get your issue into the market before a little jump in the rates."
Payments on the bonds are due every six months, with principal collected in December over the life of the bonds.
Asked by Commissioner Roger Fleming if the bonds can be paid off early, Arteberry said the bonds couldn't be redeemed any earlier than 2018, but if enough money is collected from the county's sales tax increase before the pay-off date, the funds can be held in escrow and the sales tax could be allowed to expire.
Local banks were given priority to purchase the bonds, but none of the Marion County banks chose to do so. Arteberry said the bonds were purchased by banks around the state.
"I think bigger banks are more likely to accept a lower rate of return than your little banks are," Arteberry said.
After reviewing the final documents, Commissioner Randy Dallke made the motion to pass Resolution 12-05 concerning the $3.5 million in general obligation sales tax bonds. The motion carried, 3-0.
Fleming then moved to pass Resolution 12-06 regarding the $110,000 in refunding bonds. The motion carried, 3-0.
"Thank-you for all your work in keeping us informed and somewhat understanding what's going on, and keeping us in line," Fleming said to Arteberry.
Arteberry responded: "It's been fun working with you. You were careful in all your preparations on all this and I think you've really done a good job looking out for the best interests of the tax payers."
Road and Bridge
Marion County resident Rick Hanschu was at the meeting on behalf of himself and fellow landowner Kent Brunner in regard to a closed road between 360th and 370th.
The road is no more than a grass path with ruts, but after it rains, Hanschu said kids from Herington drive on the section, hurting crops and other vegetation in the process.
Brunner would like to gate the section.
"We just want to treat it like a pasture," Hanschu said. "We aren't going to lock it unless we need to."
Holub made the motion to allow the landowners to erect a gate to keep nuisance traffic out, with the understanding that the county will do research to determine whether a commission some 30 years ago closed the road or vacated the road.
If the road was simply closed, the county still owns it, and therefore determines what happens to the area. If the land was vacated, the landowners would have full rights to the property.
Holub's motion carried, 3-0.
Also passed, 3-0, was the motion to accept the winning bid of $40,488 from J&J Drainage Products Co., Hutchinson, over a competitive bid of $44,112 from Welborn Sales Inc., Salina, for placing culverts at 40th, 60th, 120th and 330th roads.
Other business
In other business, the commission:
• heard Road and Bridge director Randy Crawford report that his department will switch cellular providers from Verizon to U.S. Cellular. U.S. Cellular was one-third of the cost of Verizon.
• commended Crawford for his work. "What you're trying to get done, people are noticing," Fleming said. "People have talked to me and said, 'Hey, we really appreciate what's being done out there.'"
• heard from County Clerk Carol Maggard that it would be worthwhile to find a cleaning service with bonded employees if there is one available to service the courthouse, annex, health department and possibly the new jail.
• reviewed a letter from the Kansas Attorney General's office to Susan Robson, county attorney, regarding her inquiry of eminent domain in relation to Keystone Pipeline.
Robson's request was denied for two reasons. The letter stated: it is "not within your capacity as the County Attorney for Marion County" and "The power of eminent domain is a tactual question and must be litigated by the condemnees in an individual civil action, usually a suit for injunction."
• passed a motion, 3-0, for Garry Dunnegan to proceed with working on a drainage easement for a house he is building at Marion County Lake. The commission reserved the rights to determine whether the drainage work is acceptable.
• discussed the opportunity to have photos taken of the new jail to determine the exact thickness of the concrete. No action was taken.
• heard from Rollin Schmidt, director of household hazardous waste, that a general public solid waste committee member is needed to replace Harry Bennett.
• heard from economic development director Teresa Huffman that "there is a lot going on in Florence." There are plans for a consignment shop, antique store, railroad museum and co-op grocery store. The Harvey House will be open five days per week, thanks to volunteers.
"The community is really working well together," Huffman said.
The next commission meeting is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 13, at the Marion County Courthouse.

Interactive Map of Our Campus
Battelle Center for Mathematical Medicine
To apply state-of-the-art quantitative methods to basic and clinical research, in order to better inform and ultimately to improve clinical care in pediatrics.
Biomedical research is increasingly dependent upon sophisticated mathematical and computational techniques. The Research Institute recognized the importance of this area by investing in a new Center of Emphasis in 2006, and in 2007, The Battelle Memorial Institute made a transformative gift of $5 million to establish the Battelle Center for Mathematical Medicine (BCMM) and the Battelle Chair in Quantitative and Computational Biology.
The BCMM provides a unique environment in which specialists from a variety of mathematical and computational areas share a professional home. The melding of diverse quantitative and computational perspectives and technologies under one roof is designed to provide a springboard for uniquely collaborative work across the quantitative disciplines, leading to development of innovative methodological tools for addressing biological questions. Our location on the Nationwide Children's Hospital campus facilitates collaborative research with investigators from the other research Centers and the Hospital. Active involvement in clinical research gives our basic research purpose, both shaping it (showing us where new methods are needed) and giving us an opportunity to make a direct contribution (by applying those methods).

What is The First Trimester?
Pregnancy is one of the most amazing experiences of a woman's life. It is divided into three trimesters:
- The first trimester (the first three months)
- The second trimester (month four to month six)
- The third trimester (month seven to month nine)
The first trimester is especially important in pregnancy. This is a time in which a woman undergoes many changes, both physical and emotional, and therefore it is often known as the most difficult trimester. During the first trimester you have to learn how to cope with all these dramatic adjustments, and sometimes knowing what to expect beforehand can make you more comfortable.
h4. Changes to the body
During the first trimester or first three months of pregnancy, your body will experience enormous changes as it begins to adjust to the growing baby. You may feel unusually tired (fatigue), have breast tenderness and breast soreness, be urinating frequently and also experiencing nausea and vomiting (morning sickness). Other common pregnancy symptoms include backache, constipation, indigestion, gas, dizziness, and discharge from the vagina as well as food cravings.
Your emotions are also a rollercoaster, feeling joy and happiness one minute and then mood swings, stress and anxiety the next minute are perfectly normal during this time. These discomforts usually disappear as your pregnancy progresses. Keep in mind that each pregnancy is different, while some women may experience many discomforts, others may hardly experience any symptoms at all. It is essential that you are good to yourself in preparation for the birth of your baby – treat your symptoms, get plenty of rest and above all, remember to pamper your mind, body and soul!
Changes to the baby
The first trimester is a period of rapid growth and development of the baby. During the first trimester the baby's organs are beginning to form. The spine and limbs begin to develop and what was once an embryo now becomes a fetus. The fetus is about 7cm long and weighs about 1.5 ounces with the eyes, ears, fingernails and toenails all starting to appear, and a heart that is beating. The fetus is starting to suck his or her fingers, yawn and swallow.
What will happen during first-trimester visits?
Usually, in the first four weeks of pregnancy, women seldom notice any symptoms but a missed menstrual period may alert them of the possibility that they are pregnant. Consult your physician, obstetrician or take a pregnancy test during the first six to eight weeks to confirm whether you are pregnant. Choose a physician, an obstetrician/gynecologist or midwife that you are comfortable with and will be able to provide you with prenatal care, delivery and postpartum services.
Once pregnancy is confirmed, your physician may enquire about your symptoms and review your medical history (previous pregnancies, operations or medical conditions). A thorough physical examination which includes a pelvic exam and pap test are completed. Blood tests such as a complete blood cell count (CBC), blood typing and screening for Rh antibodies, for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as syphilis, hepatitis gonorrhea, and chlamydia as well as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) are performed.
You should be immunized against chickenpox (varicella), measles (rubeola), mumps or German measles (rubella). In addition, urine tests will also be ordered, your blood pressure, height and weight checked. Your physician will also be able to determine the baby's due date. Oral health is also important during pregnancy, gums can become sensitive due to hormonal changes and it is recommended that you visit your dentist.
You will also be informed about the importance of nutrition and diet as well as other pregnancy do's and don'ts. Ask your physician as many questions as possible. If you are over 35, certain tests based on your age or family history need to be performed and these include an ultrasound, pre-natal consultation and amniocentesis to check for birth defects. Previous birth records with prenatal charts and C-section notes may also be requested to check if any problems have recurred.
Most first-trimester visits occur once a month unless some gynecological concerns arise. Your first ultrasound scan may be offered to you between week 10 and 14 to confirm the baby's due date.
Prenatal care
Early and regular prenatal care is very important to monitor both mother and baby throughout the pregnancy. Make sure that you keep regular appointments with your physician or obstetrician so that any health complications will be spotted early. Eat well balanced meals and take folic acid supplements daily – remember this is not an opportunity to eat for two and maintaining a healthy weight is vital during pregnancy.
Do not be shy or embarrassed to ask questions that may confuse you and follow your physician's advice. Now is the perfect time for you to connect with your unborn baby by talking or singing to him or her. Read as much as you can about the various stages of pregnancy, childbirth and babycare.

The more interesting question to me is what happens on kickoffs or blocked field goal returns? In general, we as a society don't like it when women get hit by men. How would the reaction go if someone laid a vicious, but legal block on her? Remember, players are often looking for that free shot on a kicker, but are they now supposed to back-off from everything that they have been trained to do because she is a woman? It's a fascinating social dichotomy in that its another way for a woman to prove herself equal to men, yet we hate to see violence against women. Given the knee-jerk reaction world we now live in, I could see the first hit on her being something that would potentially spark a national outrage.
Get ready. The SEC's all-boys club might just have to put in a ladies room.
LSU soccer star Mo Isom is going to try to land a placekicking role in Baton Rouge this spring. She began a walk-on tryout yesterday. If she makes the Tiger team, she'll be the first female kicker at an FBS school since Katie Hnida nailed two extra points for New Mexico back in 2003. Hnida also had an extra point blocked by UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl that season.
Les Miles claims he would have no problem using Isom in a game if she's the best person for the job:
"No I would have no reservations playing her. If she gave us an opportunity and an advantage, and I mean add an advantage, then certainly we would consider that. The good thing about it is she's an athlete. She's been through team before. She understands the commitment. I would have much less reservation with her than I would any number of other people that frankly didn't know what they were getting into. But the real interesting thing is it has to be an advantage obtained."
In other words, Isom has some work to do. She's got to be better than the guys kicking against her, not just as good.
Let's face it, whether people want to say it, admit it, or hear it, adding a woman to a football team is tricky business. Ask ex-Colorado coach Gary Barnett. He'll remember Hnida, the female kicker mentioned above.
She initially walked on at Colorado before transferring to New Mexico. In 2004 she told Sports Illustrated that she had been sexually molested and verbally abused by some of her teammates at Colorado. She claimed to have been raped by one of them. Barnett claimed there wasn't "a shred of evidence" to back up her allegations. He also made the mistake of saying, "She was awful… Katie was not only a girl, she was terrible."
Hnida is now a public speaker and author. Barnett — thanks in part to his comments about a woman who might have been a rape victim — was nuked from the coaching profession in 2005 when a recruiting scandal also popped up at CU.
Adding a female to the team adds an unknown variable into a male-dominated, testosterone-fueled lockerroom. We're not saying Isom doesn't deserve a shot. But we do agree with what Miles appears to be saying: To go through the trouble of adding a woman and to take on the risk of problems, Isom had better be able to kick the pigskin better than the any male walk-ons.
As for the former LSU goalkeeper, she says this is not for show.
"People's first presumption about this is that it's a media stunt or some attempt for attention and glory," Isom said. "That could be any farther from the truth. I feel it was a goal God placed in my heart. It's just something I want to do."
Miles said yesterday's conditions made it "a bad day for anybody to kick because the wind was just so strong." Isom said she landed "some great kickoffs between the 5-yard-line and the goal line." Miles admitted, "obviously she's got ball skills… she's been around it."
According to The Shreveport Times, last August Isom connected on a 51-yard field goal attempt while working out with LSU's kickers.
She was also named LSU's homecoming queen last fall.
Last September she took part in a skills competition with the Honey Badger himself, Tyrann Mathieu:
And she also once scored a goal from 90 yards out during an LSU soccer match:
Finally, she's posted a thanks on Facebook to all of those supporting her. "There is so much power in prayer, please know that I truly appreciate every single one of you!"
She closes with a quote from Phillipians.
Athlete. Christian. Good-looking. Somebody get Tim Tebow Isom's number.

Recently Activated & Returning Veterans
Western Connecticut State University Division of Academic Affairs & Division of Student Affairs
As more veterans seek to continue their education, WCSU acknowledges the important contributions made in service to our country by these young men and women. Some of these students need help transitioning back to campus but many who are already here will need guidance and assistance as they are ordered to Active Duty, Inactive-Duty Training and other Military Obligations (MO). For those veteran students who are called to duty, they typically have the following possible options:
We strongly urge the faculty to work with each student on a case-by-case basis to determine any possible solutions for potentially missed work. This might include, but is not limited to: providing an alternative assignment which would be comparable to class work, extension of assignment due date(s) and/or rescheduling exams. Often, there may be little time between a student's receipt of activation orders and his or her reporting date. Additionally, these students may not be able to return to campus. Because this is frequently a highly stressful time for student veterans and their families, we are asking faculty members to be as flexible and helpful as possible.
As we determine each student's set of circumstances, faculty members are encouraged to consider and approve whatever options may be possible and/or reasonable. In order to ensure that student veterans complete all required procedures (especially if they are to be deployed), we are asking faculty to have the students contact one of the individuals listed below:
If a withdrawal does become necessary, the staff members mentioned above will work with the students to make sure they follow through with the appropriate offices. Once it is clear that the deployment is imminent and all paperwork on campus has been completed, professors will be notified. In most cases we strongly suggest professors put into writing what exceptions, if any, are being made for these students.
As we move forward, both of us thank the faculty and staff for their patience and understanding when working with our veteran students!
Sincerely yours,
Jane Gates, Provost/VP for Academic Affairs

I have the day off, recovering from a trip back East with the Lakers and old age.
But I find myself writing because I cannot believe the idiotic things being written about Kobe Bryant.
Now I know what you are thinking: The guy really does need a rest if he's defending Kobe Bryant.
But ESPN's Chris Broussard and Fox's Jason Whitlock have done Kobe a disservice, both coming to the conclusion that Kobe is the reason for the Lakers disappointing everyone this season.
Without Kobe being Kobe this season, the Lakers might as well make like the NHL and disappear.
Kobe is the only one who has kept the Lakers afloat this season, with consistent and sensational play for a guy who should be slowing down.
One thing became very clear while travelling with the Lakers: If Kobe doesn't score, the Lakers don't score.
Dwight Howard is improving, and he's more aggressive on offense, but he hasn't shown the total game yet to carry the team through difficult times.
Whitlock makes an argument that suggests he has not watched the Lakers play this season but is writing off history and preconceived notions.
Whitlock writes: "The wrong player is driving the Lakers," while suggesting it should be Howard.
Whitlock writes a lot of compelling and interesting columns. Apparently an occasional stinker as well.
Howard is the wrong player to drive the Lakers at this time, and while a coach would like to see the ball go through the big guy, who is still best at putting it in the basket?
Broussard says Kobe is shooting too much and cites an unnamed general manager, scout and assistant coach who agree with him. How convenient.
Why does a writer need unnamed basketball experts to agree with him? Did anyone disagree with him? Isn't his own misguided opinion enough to stand on its own?
Kobe is the Ball Hog. Always has been, but who else do you want holding the ball with this wretched group? Howard? Does he make the free throws?
Pau Gasol and Steve Nash haven't been around much, Howard is on the mend, and so who carries the day?
Would you rather have Kobe play the role of facilitator?
Broussard cites statistics to back up what he thinks and what his anonymous sources told him; the great thing about stats is they can tell whatever story you like.
I prefer the eye test. I watched Kobe closely back East and usually have no problem finding fault with him. And no problem writing about all he's done wrong.
But if Kobe's ego was the big problem as Whitlock wrote, the Lakers' situation would even be more chaotic. Instead of ranting and raving about everything that has gone wrong because it hurts his chances of winning again, he's tried to remain solid as a believer in the team.

Outgoing Barnes & Noble CEO William Lynch shows off the company's NOOKcolor device at an event in 2010.
Lynch is departing after a three-year tenure in which Barnes & Noble was battered by the shift away from brick-and-mortar bookstores to e-commerce and digital products.
The company has tried to compete in the tablet market with the likes of Amazon's (AMZN, Fortune 500) Kindle and Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) iPad, but sales of its Nook tablets have disappointed, falling 34% in the most recent quarter.
Overall, Barnes & Noble (BKS, Fortune 500) reported a quarterly loss last month of $118.6 million, nearly double its loss from a year prior. Revenue fell 7.4% to $1.3 billion.

Lynch's resignation is effective immediately. Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating said Monday that the company "is in a transition period, so we have we have no immediate plans to name a new CEO."
Chief Financial Officer Michael Huseby has been appointed president of Barnes & Noble Inc. and head of the company's Nook division. Huseby and Mitchell Klipper, head of Barnes & Noble's retail division, will report directly to the company's executive chairman, Leonard Riggio.
Barnes & Noble shares sank 4.3% in after-hours trading Monday.

my six months old son still does'nt roll from his back to his belly. he does move a lot.it's more of the "swimming", the next time i know his head is on the other side of the bed/crib. he does have a strong kick and he used this for him to move his head up .i'm kinda worried since some of my friends said he has to be rolling at this time.....opinions??????
don't worry my second one start rolling when she was 9 monts now i have 7 monts old and he starts to rolling now every baby is differend. :)))
Every baby is different my 7 month old rolls all over the place but she will not sit up by herself good. If you put toys in front of her and sit behind her she will sit up by herself but let her find out she is sitting by herself then she will fall over and then you can't get her to sit up for awhile.
My 7-1/2 month old just started rolling from her belly to back about 2 weeks ago and now she can't stop rolling. I wouldn't worry as all babies develop at their own speed.
My son is 7 months old and he only rolls from his tummy to his back...not the other way. The doctor thinks its fine
Don't worry! My daughter didn't roll from back to front until 7 months, but crawled a few days later. My advice is to continue to provide tummy time and maybe try some incentives like having your son follow one of his favorite toys. If he reaches for the toy, he might just make the move to his tummy. If not, he will enjoy the playing and the sight of his favorite toy. Be patient and remember that every child grows and develops at his/her own pace.

Hitting the market at $17.995 million, the 6,400-square-foot estate sits atop a 5-acre knoll with 360-degree views in Los Angeles' ritzy Bel Air hood.

Great for Hawaiian themed night
By Ms Peg
from Santa Barbara, CA
About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about 40" Fern Leaf Tropical Leis:
I made a bag full of Hawaiian items, as a surprise for Hawaii night on our vacation - I gave the grouped items to each couple and said "I don't care who wears what - but everything needs to be worn" Great seeing what each couple decided to wear - yes the guys chose these leis and the bikini babe aprons -it was a riot.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect Accompaniment to Money Lei
By Pepperjackgirl
from San Leandro, CA
About Me Value Oriented
I combined this lei with two other flower leis to create a money lei for graduation. Because this present was for a young man, the fern leaves gave the lei a more masculine effect. The fullness of the leaves added just the right amount of green to balance the school colors of the two flower leis and the dollar bills.

I got them for the groom and groomsmen and the dads to wear at a Luau Rehearsal Dinner, they were a great price and in good condition when they arrived and sure they will love wearing them better than the flowered ones. They were very nice for the price and the occasion.
Great lei for the guys!
By Nuts'n Bolts
from Calabasas, CA
I threw a baby shower for my sister. The guys came later after all the "girly" activities were done. The ladies wore flower leis (the Silk Tie Dye Flower Leis that I also bought here - really beautiful and a great value) and the guys wore these fern ones. The couples got to leave with their leis of course. It was fun!

ATLANTA (Nov. 21, 2013) — CARE USA hailed the introduction today of H.R. 3571, the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA), by Reps.
Violence Against Women
Did You Know?
As many as one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or abused in some other way – most often by someone she knows, including by her husband or another male family member.

On September 17, CARE and New Republic held an event in DC about what it will take to end the cycle of violence.
Did You Know?
Gender-based violence is one of the most pervasive and yet least-recognized human rights abuses in the world.
As many as one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or abused in some other way – most often by someone she knows, including by her husband or another male family member.
This violence leaves survivors with long-term psychological and physical trauma; tears away at the social fabric of communities; and is used with terrifying effect in conflict settings, with women as the main target.
It doesn't have to be this way. Women and men from all walks of life are joining together to help bring an end to these pervasive, and often deadly, acts of violence.

Hi Im at the end of my 3rd day and in day 2 and part of day 3 I have been having a headache. I realized today that it must be that I am not eating sugars and very much fat. Is there any way to avoid getting these (headaches) other than "cheating" and getting a large cafe americano with cream and sugar? any input would be great jill
Lots and lots and lots of water. I gave up having 6-10 sodas a day on the Sunday prior to starting my challenge. I didn't have a single caffeine withdrawal symptom. I only attribute that to the healthy foods, and the oodles and oodles and loads and gallons of water I was drinking. That's the only thing I have to offer. Hope it goes away soon!
Keep the faith!
Faithful Renee :0)
Hi Jill, well, I would have to say that Renee is right. Drink a megaton of water, it worked for me on Tuesday.
Thanks for that suggestion I did up my water intake thinking that would help but didnt work. I might have to up it even more. I work outside in sunny AZ and it is already warming up. Jill
You can have the Cafe Americano with splenda and no cream. It's an adjustment when make such huge changes. I'd go for the small, not the large however. Did you drink a lot of coffee prior to starting BFL?
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right ~ Henry Ford
Michelle Simpson ~2009 Body-for-LIFE Champion 46+ Catagory
When you begin limiting carbs, most people experience headaches, fatigue, etc. after the first few days due to your body not being use to the lack of sugar from the carbs you're use to eating. Hang in there and it will go away soon!! Once you're past this initial "what in the world have I started" stage where your body is in shock, you'll start feeling better!! Keep eating healthy and drinking your water and you'll be past this before you know it.
Black coffee should help!
thanks for the suggestions. I am at the end of week one YEA!!!!!!! Looking forward to tomorrow and celebrating two of my kids birthdays. Headaches went away after the fourth day and yes I am a huge coffee drinker. I am now drinking it with out sugar and just a little milk. I feel really good and only slipped up once. thanks again jill
That is excellent new!!
Everyone here is absolutely correct. Not that you, or they, needed my affirmation!
But, I had gotten some bad headaches, because, of all the reasons they sited.
Mikek's post is especially true to many of us. The body goes into shock, and then with-drawels from cutting sugar, and especially carbs.
Carbs are like a drug that the body develops a strong addiction to.
I2nd or third day can be the toughest. And a lot of times, like me, you might binge on something naughty - to only regret it afterwards.
I am in my second week, and it is better - but once in a while ... It can be a real test of self-sacrifice and will power.
Heres wishing you the best!

Students connect with refugees, start club for kids
Gladys Terichow
November 12, 2008
SASKATOON, Sask.—Every Wednesday Dana Barrand and her friends organize an evening of fun-filled activities for children living in the Golden Oaks Apartments on Appleby Drive here in Saskatoon.
"Kids are so lovable," remarked Barrand as she returns home from her classes in the University of Regina's satellite campus in Saskatoon to find a large group of children waiting for her.
Amidst warm hugs and laughter she unlocks the door to a three-bedroom suite that has been designated for the Appleby Kids Club—an informal club started by Barrand in 2004 when she was 22 years old.
Her inspiration for starting the club grew out of her friendship with two brothers who arrived in Saskatoon in 2004 as refugees from Sudan.
The brothers were living in the Golden Oaks Apartments and every time Barrand visited them she was surprised at the number of children living in the housing complex and the lack of activities for children in the neighbourhood.
Barrand was a participant in a Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) youth internship program working for the refugee assistance program for MCC Saskatchewan at the time. With the support of MCC and the manager of the complex, Barrand started making arrangements for a weekly family fun night.
The first event took place in August, 2004. The manager had given her permission to use the tennis courts. "I had planned for 15 to 30 kids but 75 kids showed up," recalled Barrand.
In September the manager allowed her to move the activities into a vacant suite. In January 2005, the complex came under new management and a formal agreement ensured that the suite would be used only for events relating to the Appleby Kids Club and that MCC would cover the insurance fees.
The number of children participating in the weekly meetings continues to grow. The average attendance is now 40 to 45 children with more than 200 people from the apartments and neighbourhood participating in community events, such as the popular outdoor movie night, summer carnival and fall carnival.
More than 400 children between the ages of three and 16 live in the housing complex which is comprised of 10 three-story buildings and 240 suites, explained the apartment's manager Tony Van Esch. About 45 per cent of the suites are occupied by newcomers to Canada.
"We call this our little United Nations," said Van Esch, estimating that newcomers living in the apartments represent about 13 different countries.
In an effort to establish closer relationships and friendships with children who participate in the Appleby Kids Club and their families, Barrand and one friend moved into the Golden Oaks Apartments in May 2006.
Soon after moving in more friends moved to the apartments. Over the years, 15 friends and young people from Mennonite churches and Bethany College have lived in the apartments. Currently, six young people from Mennonite churches and Bethany College are tenants.
"We are all here intentionally—we are all here to love our neighbours," said Barrand. "This is something that is in my heart—just getting to know the families who live here."
Most of the young people living in the apartments are regular volunteers at club activities. The club also receives strong support from church groups and individual volunteers who provide refreshments and materials for crafts and other supplies for the weekly meetings, as well as funds and transportation to give children a chance to experience summer Bible camp or daily vacation Bible school.
In addition to support from local volunteers, the club receives support from some of the groups participating in CHALO!—MCC Saskatchewan's short-term exposure and service experience program. Assistance from larger groups makes it possible for the club to organize community events and daily programs.
"When you work in my business you often see the less positive side of people," said Van Esch. "Then you meet a group of people like Dana and her friends. It reaffirms your faith that there are people who give of themselves. This is a very positive impact in our community."

I've been wanting to let the champs pick the fights. What I do is I just put the champion against the number one, two, or three contender. If he's beaten all 3...he fights someone randomly in the top 10 and so on. Or I put him against a fighter with a great record. Auto Scheduller fucks up (making title fights when there is already a champ) so I thought I'd do it to make it easier and more organized.
Anyway, the champion and challengers deal with the matchmaking....post the matchup you've agreen on. For less important fights, I will just pick randomly or let the auto scheduller handle it.
And this also goes for top contenders. You can issue a challenge....and if it is accepted, the fight is on. So we all handle the matchmaking. Deal?

I know. At one point Mayweather and Manchez where considered P4Psters. Not the case now. LOL. Still good durable fighters with plenty of pizazz. Not enough to bring home the championship however. Although the FPs have more to do with that. We will see where the TRIBE goes from here.

Above is the first poem in my little invisible book of light verse, Peculiar Rhymes and Intimate Observations. In part, it sums up why I wrote the thing in the first place. I longed to learn self-publishing, but I also hope to make a little money for my efforts, in order to justify my existence and contribute toward our little house of fun here at Planet Moonbeam. I also wanted to entertain readers. It's not a deep book– just some fluffy, humorous verse, but I wanted to put something out while I'm writing more complicated stuff. It's helped me shove past my self-imposed fear of DIY publishing, though the stress has probably axed
three eight years off of my lifespan in the process. It's a decent trade. I've learned so much by doing this.
Week one went well. The book is selling like hotcakes. Okay, more like a plate of cold, cardboard, pre-packaged pancakes, the kind you get in your grocer's freezer, but still– it is selling. I managed to set up a new Facebook page, dedicated to the things I publish, and some folks are even following it (mostly because I begged and wore them down). I'm chirping, tweeting and making all sorts of bird calls on Twitter, though I'm just awful at it. I'm confused by the etiquette of it all. It took a while to see that others were mentioning me and retweeting some of my stuff. I tried HootSuite for a couple of days and almost went into seizures. I'm getting the hang of things though, sort of.
In a week or so, "Peculiar Rhymes" will be available as an audio book, on Audible and I think, as an iPhone app. I'm hunkering down and gearing up for that one. I played the audio for my daughter the other day, and was horrified to realize that the recording had slowed down somewhere in the process of sending it. On it, my voice sounds husky and deep. Not sexy, Kathleen Turner deep– this is more like Darth Vader meets Mercedes McCambridge. We'll see what the final outcome is, but I'm cringing in advance.
I'm also considering putting out a print-on-demand version of the book, and am hoping to collaborate with a local artist on it. There are so many branches on a self-publishing tree – various reading devices, audio, the old-school book made of woody, pulpy stuff with pages that really turn. So many lovely people have been involved in this experience– I won't go into it now, but it's pretty fascinating, and it makes my heart do a happy tap dance beneath my left bra strap. Working with this artist would be great for both of us– just another pretty branch on the tree. I'll keep you posted on that one.
But I'm an awful self-promoter. Really– who does this? I bash my own book. I downplay it. I should be talking non-stop about how fabulous it is– how it will make you laugh, change your world and melt your butter. I should tout it as being a Hallmark Greeting card for your soul. But I'm a worrier. I worry that folks won't like it (though they seem to). I worry that I'll disappoint readers of this blog, who know I write dumb lyrics about road kill, and goofy crap about cockroaches. I think we're probably all in agreement that my writing strengths lie elsewhere. Still, when I think about this entire project, I have to admit that, though it isn't the Best Thing I've Ever Written, I kind of like it. And it's $2.99, for wheat's sake. It's not as though I'm advertising a $75 coffee table tome and sending a "Fun with Elmo" activity book instead.
Wonderful things have come from doing this, though the going is rather slow. I've only gotten four reviews so far. One was from my favorite uncle, a former bad ass Marine and a retired colonel at the Pentagon. Thinking about him cracking the spine on my little book of verse makes me smile. I know, there are no spines on Kindles, but you catch my drift. It's like envisioning Mike Tyson watching "Chocolat." Another review was from my angel, Amadeus. Those guys are a bit biased, and their critiques are so glowing you could use them as flashlights. So, in fairness, I guess that I've gotten two reviews. But wowee, what sweet reviews they are. Here's a link to the ones on Amazon, and here are the two on Smashwords (my uncle's and my hubby's included).
These reviews make me as weepy as a willow (damn you, you stupid @#$% menopause), and those are the good ones. Can you imagine what'll happen the first time someone writes "THIS SUCKS!!!" Note: Please don't write a review saying "THIS SUCKS!!!" Anyway, here's the most beautiful thing of all. Kendall, a long time reader of this blog, is a gifted photographer and writer, whose work I've mentioned here before. She keeps a Blipfoto blog, and the other day, she sent me a Facebook message that said, "This Blip's for you." I clicked the link she sent and heavens to Mergatroyd, there was a photo and a post about me– about this blog and my little e-book, and about my weird-ass life. Over 40 of her splendid fans left wonderful, heartfelt comments. It all blew what little I have left of my mind. I'm posting the link here, not just so that you can read it, but so that you'll cruise around her album and see (and read) her incredible work.
So, I'm going to try to keep pushing the book for a while. It's all pretty traumatic for my ADD-addled brain. The constant over-stimulation of social media makes me feel a little like a steelie in a pinball machine– all dinging bells and lights, a million words passing before my eyes at any given moment. But I'm trying. On the side, I'm writing, and tonight, I'll be reading a bit of an upcoming story at a little indie bookstore. Not from the poetry book– there are going to be real poets there, so I'll stick to prose. See? Awful self-promoter. I'm glad this book isn't out in hard copy, because Amadeus would bop me on the head with it for being so shy.
Thanks again to those who've purchased Peculiar Rhymes and Intimate Observations. Thank you for the feedback and the reviews and the retweets and for every little twinkle of support you've given me. I just adore you, you know.
You can purchase the e-book here and here. And I'd love it you'd "like" my Facebook page, which you can find here. Please, pass the word, write reviews, tell your friends and give yourself a hug from me.
P.S. In trying to come up with creative ways to promote this book, I made what might just be the weirdest, worst video of all time, besides maybe this one. It was a total flop– an eight-hour experiment gone awry. I'm not going to run it, but if you message me on FB, I'll message you back with top-secret links (it's a two-parter), so long as you promise to keep what little remaining respect you have for me intact. You'll have to pinky swear.

The State of State Standards 2006

Two-thirds of schoolchildren in America attend class in states with mediocre (or worse) expectations for what their students should learn. That's just one of the findings of Fordham's The State of State Standards 2006, which evaluates state academic standards. The average state grade is a 'C-minus'--the same as six years earlier, even though most states revised their standards since 2000.

Fund the Child
June 27, 2006
Everyone agrees that education funding today is a mess. But a broad, bipartisan coalition now urges a new method of funding our public schools--one that finally ensures the students who need the most receive it, that empowers school leaders to make key decisions, and that opens the door to public school choice. It's a 100 percent solution to the most pressing problems in public school funding--and it's called Weighted Student Funding.

Is America's K-12 education system preparing students for life in a global village? Unfortunately, it is not. Renowned historian Walter Russell Mead, author of this report, found that thirty-three states deserved D or F grades for their world history standards.

Belatedly, policymakers and researchers are recognizing that quality charter schools depend on quality charter school authorizing. This report presents findings from a pioneering national examination of the organizations that sponsor, oversee, and hold accountable U.S. charter schools. Its primary aim is to describe and characterize these crucial but little-known organizations.

Most discussions of charter schools assume that they are monolithic. This study, the first of its kind, categorizes the nation's charter schools into a robust typology according to their educational approaches. It also provides demographic information by type,how many are in each category, what their student populations look like, and so forth,and makes a first attempt at comparing their test scores. The result is a much richer and more accurate picture of the charter school universe.

Fwd: Teacher Education: Coming Up Empty

Kate Walsh
The nation's leading teacher educators made a startling admission last year in their tome, Studying Teacher Education, by conceding there's little evidence that what happens in ed schools helps in the K-12 classroom. Kate Walsh explores why teacher educators are ignoring the achievement gap and, thus, consigning their field to irrelevance.

Science education in America is under attack, with "discovery learning" on one flank and the Discovery Institute on the other. That's the core finding of this comprehensive review of state science standards, the first since 2000. Written by pre-eminent biologist Paul R. Gross, The State of State Science Standards 2006 finds that even though the majority of states have reworked, or completely re-written, their science standards over the past five years, we're no better off now than before. The good news is that many of the standards are easily fixed. The public's anxiety about the future of our nation's scientific prowess is palpable,and reasonable. How serious are we in addressing their concerns?

Halfway Out the Door

What do ordinary Ohioans think about the myriad education reforms enacted in the Buckeye state over the last half-decade? How do parents, taxpayers, and citizens view public schooling in 2005? Do they like these reforms? Seek more or less of them? Have confidence that they'll succeed? Fordham decided to enlist veteran analysts Steve Farkas and Ann Duffett to examine the attitudes of Ohio residents toward their public schools. The results? Ohioans are frustrated with their K-12 education system on a number of fronts, and feel the state is in dire need of stronger, better leadership when it comes to education. Policymakers would do well to pay attention.

Less Than Proficient

Paul Gross
Almost every week a new report or commission decries the decline of America's preeminence in science, and calls for the nation's education system to raise standards in order for our economy to remain competitive with the rest of the world. Within this context, the National Assessment Governing Board is preparing to launch a new science assessment for 2009. Curriculum developers and textbook writers are likely to follow its lead. Fordham couldn't help but wonder: is the draft science Framework up to the challenge? Using much the same criteria applied in the Foundation's state science standards reviews (due out this December), our reviewers answered: no. As author (and esteemed biologist) Paul R. Gross wrote, The Framework is an interesting start, but there is much work to be done if it is to achieve its potential usefulness.

Separate fact from fiction as you enjoy the animals.
April 24, 2013
Do porcupines shoot their quills? Will touching a toad give you warts? Become a myth buster during Animal Myth Day at the Zoo on Friday, April 26 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Visit Discovery Stations near your favorite animal exhibits to uncover the truth about elephants, rhinos, lions, koalas, zebras and more.
Explore popular animal myths to find out what strange behaviors you really can observe in nature and what animal tales are complete hogwash. With 14 discovery stations located throughout the Zoo, you can become a trivia master that knows everything about animals.
"There are many misleading animal myths that we grow up believing," said Sarah Haft, Zoo Education Specialist. "Some are based in truth, and by exploring animal behaviors, visitors can learn how these myths got started. It is a fun and silly day, but it also highlights animals' unique traits and gives us a better understanding of everything from snakes to gorillas."
Using biofacts, photos and other hands-on interactives, BioPark docents, with help from the Zoo's animal residents, reveal the truth behind peculiar legends and stories. They will show just how extraordinary animals are and why our actions matter in conservation.
So, what do you think? Do porcupines shoot their quills? Meet Homer the porcupine at 11 a.m. during his stroll, and help us debunk animal myths this Friday. Animal Myth Day activities at the Zoo are included with regular admission. For more information, email [email protected] or dial 311 (505-768-2000).

It was quite an interesting day yesterday at PoolDawg's worldwide headquarters. I was roused out of a peaceful slumber early yesterday morning by an automated text saying the PoolDawg's servers were down. After a little research, we were able to determine that our host, the powerful Amazon EC2 Cloud service, had what the press is referring to as "a hiccup".
Like many online companies, PoolDawg is hosted in what is commonly referred to as a cloud server environment. Among the folks that live in our cloud are Reddit, Quora, Foursquare, Hootsuite and a ton of other companies. The reasons to do it are scalability, reliability and it is much more affordable than some of the other hosting options that provide 99.95% uptime. This of course is the irony of the story, as the cloud went down making our site unreachable for a good part of the day yesterday.
Needless to say, our technology partners at Acumium were able to get us back up and running without any loss of data. That said, I'd like to apologize to all of our loyal customers who weren't able to get anything more than a system maintenance page yesterday. We're already in the process of looking at options to put redundancy in place to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Thank you to everyone for your patience yesterday. If anyone has any questions about this, feel free to email me directly at mike[at]pooldawg.com or just give us a call at 866-843-3294.Google+

Landon was born almost 8 weeks early in March 2004. He has been a fan since he can remember. He is a true Detroit Pistons fan. He loves watching the games and depending on what jersey he wears will depend on who he feels will have the best night (it is scarey becuase usually he is right). This picture is from his 4th birthday!
Landon has been a Pistons fan forever.

AKA Auction 2011
[size=12AKA Auction 2011
This year's loud auction in Wildwood, NJ is shaping up to have some incredible items up for bid! For the past couple of
conventions, the AKA auction team developed the "On Line Portion for the Auction" to be able to include members not able to be
at the convention. We would like to continue this option, however we are without a volunteer to manage the "On-Line Portion for
the Auction" process.
Without a volunteer for the AKA 2011 on-line auction, this portion of the auction process will not happen.
So, the auction team is asking for a volunteer to step up and run the "On-Line Portion for the Auction" process. If you are
interested in taking on this challenge, please contact Greg Lamoureux, Auction Chair 2011, email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Remember, if no one steps up to take on this challenge, the "On-Line Portion for the Auction" for Convention 2011 will not happen.

Re: AKA Auction 2011
There is the potential for larger participation among US members, as the auction will not run until the wee hours of the morning for many prospective bidders. This was a serious issue for me last year, as was the somewhat "clunky" service that was used to mediate the process.

I have not heard back regarding a Teleconference for the BOD meeting either. I can think of a couple or more RD's that will probably not be at the Convention this year. I wish I could've gone this year to help. I will definitely help out in Oklahoma next year to the best of my ability!

Winning The Future?
Every once in a while, a creative person will come up with a new idea or a new phrase in which they think that it is just the best phrase and people will be jealous of what a good phrase that is. People will be jealous that they did not come up with it themselves. And it will be a good phrase until somebody points out house to put it really is. A good example of a phrase like that is; winning the future.
What exactly is winning the future? Well, it's Barack Obama's phrase for 2012 because he is now a candidate for President of the United States. Having no record of success to run on, he now has to base his campaign again on the hope and change. Once again, the citizens of America will be asked to paint a rosy picture of what they would like America to be and convince themselves that having Barack Obama as president would achieve that goal. Obama had to start early, so that people will have enough time to convince themselves that this is how America should be.
Barry's Victory Lap
Over the past two years, the mission and agenda of the Obama administration has been to increase America's dependence on the government. Perhaps this is why the media was taking so many steps to make this look like a dire situation. Why, without the government the soldiers would not defend our shores. The police would not secure the streets. And the teachers would not be in the classroom-this time for a different reason. But what would actually happen with the government shutdown?
From what has been actually reported, the federal parks and monuments would be closed. This would have the largest effect in Washington DC. People who paper filed their tax returns would have a delay in getting the refund. But who is filing this lake to the deadline and is still expecting a refund? I would not be of the essence in this case. Well, the list could go on but a partial government shutdown may not have a big impact in which the mainstream media would have you believe. Life as we know it would continue.
If you pay any attention to the news, you are well aware of all the finger-pointing that has gone on as to who'll would be to blame for this partial government shutdown. But let's take a look behind the finger-pointing. Why did the situation really occur? The fiscal year for 2011 actually began Oct 01, 2010. In years past, the president has traditionally offered an annual budget in January or February giving the Congress Upton nine months to debate it or it are much pork will be in it, what are the pet projects, which Congressman will be bringing home the bacon are the things that get considered. Things that are generally assumed that there will be a huge annual deficit that perennially is debated as being too high. Yet it continues to grow. No one actually believes that the annual budget will be balanced this year or anytime soon.
Them Dang Errors
A few years ago when I was flipping through the channels on the television, I came across an old rerun of My Favorite Martian. In this episode, Uncle Martin was dictating a letter. As he spoke the words, a typewriter across the room put the words to text. And of course, no one was actually doing the typing. The typewriter was doing it on its own.
When this was dreamed up in the mid-60s, people probably thought that this is pure science fiction. Yet less than half a century later, we know that it is fact. This can be done today. It isn't done the same way as it was in 1964, because today, hardly anyone uses a typewriter anymore.
This is how I write Logos of the Bogus. I don't sit in front of the computer and actually type away, I use text to speech software. I speak into a microphone and at just about the rate that I can speak, the words appear on the screen. It's much faster than typing, because I never really graduated above the 30 words per minute level. Yet, I can get in the zone and crank out a few articles in a lot less time. And of course, you can see some of the disadvantages of this. Although it is very accurate, some of the things I say get translated into very strange sentences. But because it doesn't know any misspelled words, nothing can be misspelled. So everything becomes dependent upon proofreading. As some readers may know, I don't put a lot of effort into proofreading everything that I write or say. This is a blog, not an English paper.
The End of Cooperation
This week, President Barack Obama assumes the role that he loves best-candidate for president of the United States. As we have seen over the past two and half years, Obama enjoys being a campaigner much more than he does enjoy being president. As president, he is being held accountable. As a candidate, mistakes he makes can be attributed to speaking to his base.
As president, he proposed a budget for the 2012 fiscal year.(That was quite a feat as he did not do this the year before.) As a candidate, he did a do over. In response to the Republican's budget as proposed by Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan, President Obama proposed his own budget that was to drastically reduce spending. Obama proposed what he called a more compassionate budget. Translation-spending is not going to be reduced so that more people can confidently become dependent on the government.
Whenever I read the column written by George Will in the Washington Post, I have to open another tab in my browser for an online dictionary. Then I have to ask myself two questions. First, how does he come up with these words? Second, will I be able to use one of these words in a conversation at any time? Well, the other day George used the word blatherskite and I had to look it up. When I read the definition, I can only think of one person-Barack Obama.
Since becoming a candidate for reelection, President Obama has been holding more town hall style meetings in which ordinary citizens may ask pre-screened questions and the president will answer them without a Teleprompter. It may be what he does best, but it's not good.
The Diversions
President Barack Obama finally released his birth certificate in order to put to rest a distraction that takes our attention away from the real issues today. Even though the left brought it up more often, it is conservatives and Republicans who will get blamed for keeping this on the front burner. Three weeks of Donald Trump finally pushed the administration to releasing the document. We'll speak to rest? I'm sure there is a lot more spin to come. I'm sure the name-calling from the left is just getting started. After all, we have a year and a half until the election. We know it's got to get nasty. However, I agree with the president when he said that we've got bigger problems in this country. Then of course, he flew off to Chicago to sit on the Oprah Winfrey show.
But let's move to a real issue. High gas prices. In 2008, then-President George Bush was being blamed for high gas prices. Okay, we blame the president for a lot of the nation's problems. It comes with the territory. What did Bush do about it? In retrospect, I don't know. But gas prices did eventually come down for a while. Now, prices are high again. Again, the citizens of this country are looking to the president for a solution. We're looking for results. Will gas prices come down? Not yet.

April 25
by: ASRM Office of Public Affairs
Published in ASRM Bulletin Volume 14, Number 25
Legislation to define an unborn child to include "the offspring of human beings from the moment of conception until birth at every stage of biological development" never made it to a final vote in the Oklahoma House. SB1433, was approved by the Oklahoma Senate in February and later amended by a House committee, but Republican House leaders refused to bring the controversial bill to a vote late last week after an unprecedented number of amendments were filed on the bill in attempts to protect vital forms of reproductive care.
The refusal to allow a vote riled the bill's supporters and Personhood USA, the pro-life organization backing the bill. A petition circulated on the House floor to force the leadership to bring the bill up for a vote also failed.
In an unusual political development, leadership granted a vote on a House Resolution today which includes language similar to the personhood bill. However, a resolution basically expresses the temperature of the institution on a particular issue, but importantly, does not have any binding application to current law. It was approved 74-13.
ASRM and SART, as well as the infertility patient community, were instrumental in helping to defeat this personhood measure and we are pleased to report another victory in blocking legislation that has as its goal the restriction of reproductive rights. Dr. Eli Reshef served as an influential spokesperson on the harms the bill would create for infertility doctors and their patients and was particularly involved in efforts to educate lawmakers and the press in Oklahoma. We are grateful, too, to the brave lawmakers from both sides of the aisle who worked to defeat this harmful measure.
