Review of small press and independent books.
You are not logged in.
I'm doing a separate thread for this, because this is what Little Troubleblossom actually likes, as opposed to what Mummy and Daddy think she ought to have! Her absolute favourite story book at the moment (I should specify, she is 17 months old) is the Ladybird First Favourite Tales version of 'The Gingerbread Man, illustrations by Anja Rieger; it doesn't say who adapted the text, though an educated guess would finger Carol Ann Duffy, as it's got that same effect of rhymes and bits of rhythm turning up in odd places (above and beyond 'Run, run as fast as you can: you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!' of course). Little Troubleblossom brings this book to be read to her every time you sit down (and she has several dozen to choose from), and it is, at the moment, the only book that she'll always sit and have read to her from cover to cover, in the proper order of pages, rather than dodging randomly from page to page or losing interest half way through, saying firmly "No!" and sliding off your knee to fetch another book.
Eeek, I've wronged the author: had I looked inside the book, instead of only at the cover, I would have found out that the text was in fact adapted by Alan MacDonald.
I ran out in my lunch-break yesterday to buy whatever else I could find in this series - note that there are several different series of folk and fairy tales in Ladybird Books, and these are the ones that don't look the way you expect Ladybird Books to look, being square with shiny covers - and came back with 'The Magic Porridge Pot' and 'The Little Red Hen', though we haven't had time for Pickleblossom to form an informed opinion of these. I have to say that I was very disappointed with their version of 'Red Riding Hood', and certainly shan't be buying that one: while the Gingerbread Man suffers his right and proper fate of getting scoffed by the fox, this is the most bowdlerised Red Riding Hood I have ever come across. NOBODY GETS ET AT ALL! No, not even Grandma, and not even temporarily: she and Red Riding Hood both hide under the bed until Father comes to kill the wolf and rescue them. So, on the whole, a great series, but read carefully before buying!
Little Troubleblossom insisted on taking 'The Gingerbread Man' to bed with her last night! She cuddled it determinedly through her last feed and bedtime story (I was actually reading 'The King of the Copper Mountains' to her) and wouldn't let go either to clean her teeth or to be put in her cot; every time I tried to extract it she began to wail. When I went in later to retrieve it once she was asleep, I found her snuggled up with her head on it!
Little Troubleblossom's new great joy: 'The House that Jack Built', Diana Mayo, 2001, Barefoot Books. All right, all right, I know 'The House that Jack Built' has been around since the reign of Ethelred the Ill-Advised, but this is a lovely new edition. There's a mission statement for Barefoot Books on the back page which seems worth repeating:
'At Barefoot Books, we celebrate art and story with books that open the hearts and minds of children from all walks of life, inspiring them to read deeper, search further and explore their own creative gifts. Taking our inspiration from many different cultures, we focus on themes that encourage independence of spirit, enthusiasm for learning and acceptance of other traditions. Thoughtfully prepared by writers, artists and storytellers from all over the world, our products combine the best of the present with the best of the past to educate our children as the caretakers of tomorrow.'
It's hard to go far wrong with 'The House that Jack Built', which is, after all, the great-granddaddy of 'The Train to Glasgow' and all the other add-and-repeat rhymes, but I do think this is a particularly fine edition. The pictures are all double-page spreads with a line from the rhyme on each side, starting with the tousle-haired Jack in his paint-splashed denims (cue comment of "Messy!" from Little Troubleblossom), tool belt and blue braces outside his house, and the sacks of malt stacked in an outhouse. Each spread then includes all the people and creatures previously mentioned, and if you look closely, you can see the next character to come, either small in the distance or mostly hidden behind the scenery. The dog has a particularly bad time, as he's flying through the air upside-down in most of the pictures after his first appearance, much to Little Troubleblossom's delight. The only complaint I have is that, in this post-blood-sports time, the illustrator doesn't seem to know what the dog is supposed to be doing to the cat, and illustrates 'This is the dog that worried the cat...' with a picture of the cat looking alarmed and concerned.
Good heavens.
That is to say, I would have mis-illustrated the cat myself. The blood-sports interpretation has never occurred to me, but I'm sure you're right; that must be the intended original meaning.
I've an idea that the concept was already dropping out of use when I was a little girl at the turn of the 1960s/70s, because I'm sure I remember the rhyme going 'This is the dog that chased the cat, that killed the rat, that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built', but this text and a couple of books of classic nursery rhymes copied from nineteenth- or early twentieth-century originals all have 'This is the dog that worried the cat, that chased the rat, that ate the malt...' I'm going on using my version, though, because apart from not having to stop and explain that in this context 'worry' means 'grab with the teeth and shake violently', I think the verse swings better that way. It's folk verse, I'm allowed.
The favourite of the moment (she'll be two in a couple of weeks) is 'Giraffes Can't Dance' by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees (Orchard Books, 2009). This is clearly a highly successful franchise already, as we got it in a gift box with a Gerald the Giraffe cuddly toy and height chart. It tells the story, in rhyming text, of how Gerald the clumsy giraffe, with the help of a philosophical cricket, finds his rhythm and wows all the other animals at the Jungle Dance. I have to admit that Daddy and I find the illustrations a bit slapdash - it's embarrassing when the small person to whom you're reading it points to an animal and asks "Dat?" and you have to admit that you can't tell - and the text rather saccharine, but Pickleblossom is completely addicted to this story, and finds sections of the text inexplicably hilarious: she only has to set eyes on the height chart on the bedroom door to remark "Excuse me! coughed a cricket..." and giggle like a leaky tap. In fact, it's getting out of hand: any time you're standing in her way, you don't just get told "Excuse me!" but "Excuse me, coughed a cricket!", and you have to work out for yourself that she's actually asking you to move rather than to read "Gerald Giraffe book!" to her.

This month's great literary love is 'The Smartest Giant in Town' by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler (Macmillan Children's Books). Little Troubleblossom asks for "Giant book! Giant trousers fall down!" EVERY SINGLE NIGHT before going to bed, and usually at nap time too.
Giants have an almost uniformly bad press in children's literature and folk tales, from 'Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!' all the way up to Oscar Wilde's Selfish Giant and those nasty pieces of work in 'The Silver Chair'. On the side of the good guys is, of course, Roald Dahl's Big Friendly Giant, and now there's George, the scruffiest giant in town. George doesn't like being the scruffiest giant in town, and as soon as he spots a gentlemen's outfitters offering giant sizes, he buys himself a full new set of togs and strides proudly homewards as the smartest giant in town. However, on the way he meets one animal after another in some sort of distress, which can be relieved by the gift of some part of George's new outfit, until he finally gives away his belt and his trousers fall down revealing his red and white spotted underpants, to Troubleblossom's great joy. Most of you have already spotted the standard folk-tale story format, and yes, of course there's a happy ending in which George gets his reward.
The story is plain text, apart from George's song, to which he adds a line on every page as he gives another garment away. Troubleblossom is already word-perfect as far as 'My tie is a scarf for a cold giraffe, my shirt's on a boat as a sail for a goat, my shoe is a house for a little white mouse...' Axel Scheffler's illustrations add an extra dimension to the whole thing, depicting a town whose streets are strolled by humans, animals, giants and recognisable fairy-tale characters, with something else always going on in the background, as well as subtle details such as the way that George's hair, neatly slicked down when he first steps out in his smart suit, becomes more and more dishevelled as he moves through the book, until it's back to its original condition, somewhere between ill-made haystack and dandelion clock at about half past two.

Well, we've hit a new personal best with 'The Smartest Giant in Town' - Troubleblossom woke up this morning and insisted on having "Giant book!" read to her before she'd consent to be changed and dressed.
Sigh... our record so far is once while having the morning nappy changed, a second time while eating lunch, a third time, having wiped the baked beans off, as a prelude to the post-lunch nap, and once more, with feeling, at bedtime!
Moreover, all due and proper praise to Axel Scheffler, but the reading process takes twice as long because of the illustrations. Every time we turn the page, we get a line or two into the text and Troubleblossom interrupts to point at some minor character, looking up at the giraffe or covering their ears as George hops along the road behind them singing, and asks "What dey doing? What dey doing?"

Speaking of Axel Scheffler's illustrations, I found out at a 'story time' session in that bookshop we don't refer to that he has a liking for in-jokes, and tries to work a previous character, preferably the Gruffalo, into his illustrations for all his later books. I'd already spotted the Gruffalo in 'Tabby McTat', and I've had him pointed out to me in 'Zog': now I've started looking, I've also spotted him in 'Charlie Cook's Favourite Book'. Not sure about 'The Smartest Giant in Town', though, unless the hidden character there is the witch from 'Room on the Broom'.
This month's Greatest Hit is 'Cinderella's Bum' by Nicholas Allan (Hutchinson, 2002). Little Troubleblossom is in a scatological phase at the moment, and all things to do with bums are of unending interest and mirth. This one is narrated by a little girl whose big sister worries about the size of her bottom, and consists of the little girl's inventive attempts, with lavishly illustrated examples, to convince her that bottoms can and should come in all shapes and sizes, and that you should appreciate your bum whatever it looks like. Queen Victoria, for instance, needed her big bum to sit on the throne of England for sixty years (and yes, I've seen a pair of Queen Victoria's knickers, and you could have stored your spuds for the winter in them) while Houdini needed his small bum to be able to escape from a milk churn. Troubleblossom particularly likes the double page on which Father Christmas' large bum is cushioning a crash landing on a snowy roof and absorbing the damage when he has foolishly forgotten to check that the fire is out before descending the chimney. Then we move on to fairytale characters: 'Cinderella had small feet but a big bum. The ugly sisters had big feet but small bums. So it's lucky Cinderella lost her shoe at the ball and not her knickers. If the prince had loved Snow White for her bottom... it would've been difficult for the wicked queen to talk to her mirror [picture of the wicked queen peering backwards between her legs, appealing "Mirror, mirror, don't be rotten, say I have the nicest bottom!"] This part is a bit advanced for Troubleblossom, who isn't really on to fairy tales yet and doesn't know who any of these people are, but she enjoys it anyway. However, the big sister fails to be convinced by the little sister's eloquence and still won't come swimming, until Little Sister makes the decisive discovery that Big Sister's concerns about her bum were illusory all along...
I'm posting this here because the book is Troubleblossom's favourite of the month, but it gets the Mummy and Daddy vote of approval as well, for a right-on message, a well-written text and appealing illustrations (check out the endpapers, which the author/illustrator has ornamented with a washing line of fantastical knickers for the people mentioned in the text (e.g. Father Christmas' knickers are fur-trimmed with a pattern of Christmas trees), and included his own, accessorised with a handy notepad, a pencil and a set of brushes.
I want those knickers! (The ones with the notepad, pencil and set of brushes.) Or maybe not. Wouldn't really work under my customary jeans. Still like the idea.
And there's now a sequel out, 'The Queen's Knickers', which is getting heavily promoted because of potential jubilee associations, and which Little Troubleblossom has just received as a reward for completing her potty-training sticker chart (sigh... HOW long is it since I started recommending potty-training books on this forum?). Daddy and I don't think it's quite as good as 'Cinderella's Bum', but it's lively and amusing and has lots of knickers in it, and you will learn strange facts such as why the Queen always keeps her Christmas messages very short (though you will not learn what the Queen's Very Important Pair for opening Parliament looks like, because the author isn't allowed to show them).
This month's library favourite is 'Night Ride to Nanna's' by Jenny Koralek, illustrated Mandy Sutcliffe (Walker Books, 2000). It's quite a short story about a family beginning a holiday with the grandparents by driving to their house on a winter evening, with Amy and her baby brother put into the car in their pyjamas, and put straight to bed when they arrive. Amy looks out of the car window along the journey, noticing the things they pass, like a market under strung lights and a lit-up bridge over a wide river, and then starting to recognise the landmarks that mean they're near Nanna's house. (At this point, we have some reading-aloud problems, because when we get to 'Then they come to the park, and Amy sees the path all white in the night going up to the hill...' Mummy remembers another park with a string of lights running across it, and another nana, and starts to snivel.) The text has a lovely, gentle rock-a-bye swing, and the illustrations are perfect, dark and soft-edged, detailed and full of small areas of light (the bridge in particular looks as though someone who's been there would recognise it, and is exquisitely fairy-lit above that special sort of darkness that you only get over water).

text: Passover is the most widely celebrated Jewish holiday in North America. What makes Passover appealing to so many of us? Is it the fact that Passover is a home-based holiday, which offers an opportunity for family and friends to gather around the seder table, recalling past memories and creating new ones? Or is it that the core themes of slavery and liberation still resonate so deeply within us that we want to retell the story of Passover again and again each year?

"The wedding invitations I ordered were so beautiful. I was hesitant to order online with out seeing the invitation in person first but when it came in it looked exactly how it did on the website. The paper has a nice weight and feel to it. And I'm happy I took the designers suggestion when the proof was sent to me to approve it. After approving it, the invitations arrived quickly in a nice box and packaged well. I would recommend this service to brides in the future."
"I thought this was very well organized and so easy to read! It's got a very 20's/ Great Gatsby vibe. Just make sure you like gold glitter, although not real glitter, those sparkles really stand out."
"I loved the style of writing on the front and how well organized and set apart each piece of information appeared. I thought it was very easy to read. I could have done with a different pattern on the back: it was too busy for my liking."
"We were looking for an invite that was simple yet elegant, and this delivered perfectly. I ordered the shimmer and rounded edges which adds a higher quality look. I really love the way these turned out, not to mention how fast they sent the digital proof and mailed them."
"I ordered the entire suite of this design. The paper was soft and had a great weight. I customized it so that it read on top " [My parents] invite you to the marriage of their daughter [My name] to [Grooms name]." Even though the template didn't allow me to change the plus sign between our names to "to", the design team followed my requests in the comment box to perfection. The colors were bright and beautiful, and in no way fuzzy or pixelated. They looked custom painted. All the texts that were "too big" the design team fixed so it looked perfect. Have recommended and will use again for a different occasion."

Caffeine is a substance that is found in certain plants. It can also be man-made and added to foods. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a diuretic (substance that helps rid your body of fluids).
Diet - caffeine
Caffeine is absorbed and passes quickly into the brain. It does not collect in the bloodstream or get stored in the body. It leaves the body in the urine many hours after it has been consumed.
There is no nutritional need for caffeine. It can be avoided in the diet.
Caffeine stimulates, or excites, the brain and nervous system. It will not reduce the effects of alcohol, although many people still believe a cup of coffee will help a person "sober-up."
Caffeine may be used for the short-term relief of fatigue or drowsiness .
Caffeine is widely consumed. It is found naturally in the leaves, seeds, and fruits of more than 60 plants, including:
It is also found in processed foods:
Caffeine is often added to over-the-counter medications such as pain relievers , over-the-counter diet pills, and cold medicines. Caffeine has no flavor. It can be removed from a food by a chemical process called decaffeination.
Caffeine can lead to:
Stopping caffeine suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms. These may include:
There has been much research on the health effects of caffeine.
Caffeine may harm a child's nutrition if drinks with caffeine replace healthy drinks such as milk. Caffeine cuts down on appetite so a child who consumes caffeine may eat less. The United States has not developed guidelines for caffeine intake and children.
The American Medical Association Council on Scientific Affairs states that moderate tea or coffee drinking is not likely to be harmful as to your health as long as you have other good health habits.
You may want to limit your caffeine intake if:
Watch how much caffeine a child gets. Caffeine is a stimulant and a hyperactive child may need to avoid it. Small amounts of caffeine during pregnancy are safe. Avoid large amounts.
Many drugs will interact with caffeine. Talk to your health care provider about possible interactions with the medicines you take.
If you are trying to cut back on caffeine, reduce you intake slowly to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

Q: What is Colorado Rockies Fantasy Camp?
A: The Colorado Rockies Fantasy Camp is a 5 day baseball camp for men and women over 21 years of age. The Fantasy Camp takes place February 4-8, 2015 in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Colorado Rockies Spring Training home of Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Participants will spend the week playing, practicing and talking baseball under the instruction of your Colorado Rockies Alumni. A unique aspect of the Rockies Camp, not available at any other MLB Fantasy Camps, is its availability of the current Minor League and Major League Coaching Staff as well as a current roster Major League player. Physical activity is required.
Q: Is the Rockies Camp for Colorado residents only?
A: No. Rockies fans from all over the country and from as far away as England and Australia have attended.

Q: What is the weather like in Scottsdale, Arizona? How should I pack?
A: Average temperatures in Arizona during February can range from highs in the 70's to lows in the 40's. Mornings and evenings will be cool. Colorado Rockies Fantasy Camp is a casual week. This is your baseball vacation. You will be tired and you will want to be comfortable as you travel to Salt River Fields in the morning and also in the evening. Your locker will include the Authentic MLB Rockies uniform as well as team jackets, undershirts, long-sleeved shirts, winter beanie caps, batting gloves and more to keep you warm. Evening activities are casual as well. Appropriate denim or khakis are more than adequate. The Saturday night banquet is not overly formal. Slacks or business casual denim and button down shirts for gentlemen are preferred. Sport coats and ties are optional. Ladies may choose to wear a dress or skirt. Keep in mind this is your baseball vacation. Don't stress over your wardrobe.
Q: Are meals provided?
A: Breakfast and lunch will be provided daily at the Salt River Fields dining room. Dinners will be provided every evening at either Salt River Fields or the Scottsdale Plaza Resort in conjunction with the scheduled evening social activity.
Q: What is the Camp team format & game schedule / how many games are on the Fantasy Camp schedule?
A: Every year we hope for at least 6 teams of 12-13 players. Once teams are formed, there will be 2 divisions - "Colorado" & "Rockies". Contingent on participants, teams will play 5 games in each Division to determine the Championship Game teams. Scheduled is a short "tryout game", 5 league games, an abbreviated "Consolation Game", Championship Game as well as a separate Campers vs. the Coaches/Staff of 2015 Colorado Rockies Fantasy Camp.
Q: How are teams formed? May I make a request to play with a fellow Camper?
A: During dinner on Opening Day the Camp Coaching Staff will convene a draft based upon scouting of the clinics and tryout game activities from earlier in the day. Teams will be announced and league play will begin immediately with a night game on Opening Day in our newly formed Divisions and teams.
Campers playing with family members may request to be drafted together and every opportunity to accommodate will be made. Other requests of friends traveling together will be considered. All requests should be made ahead of Camp to Elisa Berzins. All decisions regarding draft requests are at the discretion of the Coaching Staff & Commissioner.
Q: What equipment do I need to bring?
A: All you will need is your glove, training shoes, and personal items. Metal cleats are not allowed. (Please remember personal protective equipment). You may bring your own personal wood bats. This is a Major League experience and no aluminum bats are permitted. Professional wood bats and composite wood bats are provided. Please be aware of TSA security and airline baggage policies regarding travel with any bats you may bring to your Camp experience.
Team bat bags with donuts, weighted bats, pine tar and more are available in each dugout. Team double ear flap helmet bags including multiple common sizes (S, M, L, XL, XXL) are available in each dugout. Team catcher's bags including shin guards with knee savers, chest protectors, catchers gloves (L & R) and hockey style catcher's masks are available in each dugout.
** Please do not remove playing equipment provided by Camp from dugouts at any time. Equipment bags all contain the same equipment assortment and should not be moved from field to field as a comfort to an individual player. Baseball is a team sport. Please help our Operations Staff as they sort and ensure proper equipment supplies before each game begins. Baseballs are available for purchase if you have autograph needs. Please do not remove any baseballs from the equipment bags provided so we have a proper supply in all cage, mound and clinic areas.
Q: Equipment follow-up; can I bring my metal spikes?
A: Absolutely not! As is clearly stated in all Camp materials, Rockies Camp is a no spikes Camp. This is no different than the great majority of MLB Fantasy Camps. Safety is our most important concern. Please consider your own safety and that of your other Campers and leave your metal spikes at home.
Q: What hotel is Camp using? How are roommates selected, is there a private room option?
A: The Scottsdale Plaza Resort will host Fantasy Camp and is a proud partner for all of the Colorado Rockies team needs in Phoenix, Arizona. The commute to the ballpark is approximately :15 minutes.
Fantasy Camp is a double occupancy experience. The Rockies Special Events staff will honor roommate requests but otherwise will assign roommates to the best of our abilities based on Camp experience and other factors. Single room accommodations are available on a limited basis and are an additional cost of $800.
Q: Is there a discount available for purchasing my own Camp flight or traveling on my own by car?
A: No. Please allow the Colorado Rockies to book all transportation needs for your Fantasy Camp experience. We understand many folks prefer to use certain airlines and may have the ability to take advantage of ground transportation or even a miles program for their transportation needs. Unfortunately, discounting our experience is not available.
Q: Do I need a rental car for other travel?
A: No. During Camp, 49-passenger buses will make ample and multiple scheduled loops during all common transport times. All hospitality is provided through Camp at Salt River Fields or the Scottsdale Plaza Resort and alternative travel needs to meals and the like should not be necessary.
Q: Is there an organized car pool to Denver International Airport?
A: No. However, if you have interest an opportunity to carpool please contact Katie Shepard and we can share information for other local Campers that may be in a similar situation and desire to carpool for the week at Fantasy Camp.
Q: Will I have other expenses during Camp?
A: Yes. Your expenses will likely come from 3 areas:
- there will be plenty of opportunity to purchase Rockies and Fantasy Camp memorabilia such as polos, tees, sweatshirts, jackets and more. Official Major League Baseball and Cubes will be available as well for autographing requests throughout the week. In addition you will be able to purchase photography & more. You can use your credit card for these purchases.
Kangaroo Court
- this baseball tradition will be held 3 times during the week and is the opportunity for us all to laugh with each other as fines are given for "improper" baseball conduct and more. Proceeds from Kangaroo Court are shared amongst all the Operations Staff as a "gratuity" for their services during the week.
Clubhouse Dues
- Coaches will provide envelopes for teams to collect their cash dues for the week. Team/Player envelopes can be provided to Keith Dugger or Jason Fleming and will be split among all Fantasy Camp Operations Staff members.

The telecom bill that has Colorado carriers and technology firms on edge
More than 50 companies and organizations, including the state's largest telecom and cable-TV providers, are banding together to fight a last-minute measure that they say could have a "chilling effect" on innovation in Colorado.
Sponsors of Senate Bill 287, introduced Monday and passed out of committee Wednesday, are trumpeting the measure as a bipartisan effort to "connect rural Colorado to broadband Internet service."
"Rural Colorado is in desperate need of broadband," Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, said Monday in announcing the introduction of the measure. "Businesses and communities suffer when they can't access what the 21st Century has to offer to the rest of the state. The time has come to make the commitment to bring broadband to our entire state."
The bill proposes to divert a portion of the ratepayer-funded High Cost Support Mechanism – which collects more than $50 million annually to subsidize phone service in rural areas – toward broadband expansion in unserved and underserved communities.
Regulation over IP-enabled services
But mixed into SB 287 appears to be a backdoor attempt at giving the Public Utilities Commission regulatory authority over Voice over Internet Protocol and other IP-enabled services. Read more…

Archive for the 'Uncategorized'
Good Morning, Monday!
Dear 6th Grade Peeps,
I decided to try posting some morning work here on the blog for easier access rather than a morning email. Check out these Vocabulary screens that you worked on earlier this year…Do you still remember the meanings of the italicized words? We are going to find relationships between previously studied words this week, so think how these words could relate to each other…similarities, usage, antonyms, etc. We'll talk more this week.
Also, check out this LearnZillion video that reviews unit rates. We talked about this on Friday during the "Problem of the Day" when we discussed how much someone was paid per hour. Use your Qrafter app to follow this code.
Looking forward to seeing you in the morning! And we get to welcome our new teacher, Mr. Wright.
Looked up synonyms of "engrossed in our work" and found what we have been lately in the sixth grade…absorbed, "deep in thought", enwrapped, intent = all of the above!
Just as we are in this video studying metaphors and similes. We are deep in thought with the help of student's keynote presentations highlighted on the appleTV, music playing some of our favorite lines of songs that contain similes and metaphors…and students finding literally hundreds of examples of similes and metaphors in poems, cartoons, everyday language, etc. in their research on the iPad. Love it when we are engrossed in our own learning! Need to remind ourselves to take a breath and learn even more from sharing our work and collaborating with others. Click IMG_1191 to view:
Check Us Out!
Students are beginning to roll with setting up their blogs, and some have added posts with interesting photos and thoughtful memoirs.
Check back soon to take our surveys to help us in our next writing endeavor, the argument essay.
Wonderful work writing your memoirs:
Amber, Brianna, Cara, Carly,Devon, Marissa, Phillip, and Sayley. Thank you for sharing with us!
And…Reybekah, I love your photo!
Great job, sixth grade! I am proud of you…let's take a few moments today to share our work and comment on the work of others. I hope you will find it as cool as I do to learn from other students and teachers in our own classroom and around the globe.
A New View
Finally, a welcome to a new "sixth grade window"! This is the class of 2012-2013. You can check out their blogs on the blogroll to the right. We are just getting rolling, learning about blogging and how we can collaborate with students all over the globe. We are excited to improve our reading, writing, and creative thinking skills by starting up a new project that we call 180Project…check out where we got the idea at http://365project.org/. We think this will have endless possibilities = "take a photo of something in the shape of a sphere", "take a photo of something that represents the food chain", "take a photo of something that represents an adjective"….then, "Write About It"!
I am including my first photo to share with the class today.
~My first camera with a lens, fresh out of the box, and my inspiration for taking photos and writing about them with my students. Last year my students and I pulled a lot of graphics from the internet to help us express our thoughts, learn new information, and share our experiences. This year I decided I would like to try seeing things through my own lens and hope the students will too!~
Going Global…
We have been working really hard to prepare ourselves for our upcoming state test! But, we have also been continuing to read, write, problem solve…and blog! The connections we are making and the new learning is amazing, and so much fun! I have just started to add blogs that we regularly visit to the left side blogroll. Check them out…we are learning so much from them. I was very excited following them tonight, because one of the first classroom blogs that I checked out and still one of my favorites is Huzzah. I was scrolling through tonight and we are listed as one of their blogging friends, how cool!!! The students loved the Huzzah surveys that the students made, we had to tear ourselves away. We are planning to make our own surveys soon. The students have already come up with fantastic ideas and I can see such useful ways to use these surveys; writing, understanding bias, age groups, geography, reading. Thank you!
Through taking part in the blogging challenge we also stumbled across this cool vocabulary blogging challenge creation. Check out free rice…for every correct vocabulary answer, 10 grains of rice are donated through the World Food Programme…the discussion we had about this idea while we practiced vocabulary was outstanding.
We were also posed with this question –
Are you, your family and other members of your class, school, community going to take part in Earth Hour on Saturday 31st March at 8.30pm? Visit the Earth Hour website to find out what you could be doing.
We didn't know about Earth Hour, so that was great learning too!
Congratulations to all students for finishing their Zoo Investigation in measurement. The final products were wonderful!! I am very proud of all of you. I did promise a winner…and for their creativity, attention to measurement specifications, and hard work (even clocking recess time)….the winners of Starbuck's on Friday are Cheyenne, Paige, Kassidy, and Meghan. Again, great job to ALL of you! Should we have a contest for the GeoCity?
Beginning Construction
To investigate geometric concepts, we are building a city. Each group builds a different section of a city and must incorporate many geometric concepts including lines, angles, polygons, polyhedrons, non-polyhedrons and more! The city will look really cool when we are finished because parts of the city are 3-dimensional.
Please take a moment to answer our new poll on the right– we are going to add the data to our city project.
We also added a new book, "Because of Mr. Terupt" by Rob Buyea to our Shelfari on the left…we latched on to this book after reading the first line. The first sentence starts out "It's our bad luck to have teachers in this world,…" What?!? The first chapter definitely has our attention.
Students – check out this video that Pierson and I made to help us review some basic geometric ideas that we talked about yesterday. We are going to be adding these concepts to our city today! You should have these mastered!
Learning to Write Quality Responses
We have been working on improving the quality in our writing, especially in the area of short responses. We were having trouble writing quality responses to videos, test questions, emails, and blog comments. We thank Mrs. Yollis' class for giving us a great lesson in writing quality comments to each other and other students.
Check out this video that we decided was surprising and inspiring! Chris, Ethan, Kassidy, and Alexis shared their responses.
We were also excited to read about the new Mark Twain nominees for 2012-2013. We used the internet and this booklist to compare and contrast fictional genres. In order to classify each book by genre, students found great summaries and book trailers online. Hopefully they will post some of these soon!
Thanks again to all of the students in the blogging challenge who are visiting our blogs and leaving comments…we are learning so much about you, ourselves, and our own writing!
Edited to add – Jessie received this awesome comment in response to one of her comments to a class in New Zealand. Thank you! I can't wait to talk to the class about your comment tomorrow.
<<Jessie from Your class left us a comment so we would like to reply. We went on Senior Camp to Rotorua. Rotorua has an active geothermal area and if you look google for on " Pink & White terraces or http://www.gns.cri.nz you can see the lake we went on and the underwater pictures of the terraces. Do you think we should drain the lake? We like your blog with all the cool stuff. Our teacher remembers disecting an eye when she was 12, black stuff went everywhere. Are you getting ready for exams, or big tests? Our year is different to you as we start in Jan and go until Dec because it us usually very hot in December & January. Kereru Class>> |

Lili Duda, VMD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I have a question regarding a diagnosis of fibrosarcoma in my 5-year-old Rottweiler. I searched your site on fibrosarcoma, but the only two cases discussed were both in the leg. My dog had a well-defined fibrosarcoma removed from the area of her sternum the report indicated a low-grade malignancy and that the margins were healthy tissue. Given that information, and that it was on the torso and not a limb, would the prognosis be any different for treatment and possible recurrence? I plan to have her seen by a veterinary oncologist within a few days, but would like any statistical or general trends for this type of cancer and its treatment.
I would appreciate any information you can provide; she is a once in a lifetime dog, and I want to give her the best chance possible.
Lili Duda, VMD, Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Section, responds:
The treatment of choice for low-grade soft tissue sarcomas, which includes fibrosarcomas, is complete surgical excision with wide margins. The term "wide" is determined by the size and location of the primary tumor and to a lesser extent the number of prior surgeries. If both the surgeon and the pathologist are satisfied with the surgical margins, then surgery alone might be adequate. If there is any question about the adequacy of the surgical margins, either a wider surgical resection or radiation therapy might be recommended. These types of tumors are unlikely to metastasize; so local control of the tumor is the focus of treatment.
One additional comment on recurrence the fact that a soft-tissue sarcoma might appear "well-defined" or "encapsulated" can be deceptive. These tumors can be surrounded by what appears to be a well-defined rim of fibrous tissue. In fact, this rim of tissue is actually composed of compressed tumor cells. Tendrils of the tumor may have extended beyond this rim. An analogy is a weed growing in the yard. The well-defined portion of the tumor can be thought of as the leaves above the ground, but what you can't see or feel is the root system underground. Remove just the leaves, and the weed can regrow from the roots that are left behind.
It is wise for you to discuss this case with a veterinary oncologist.
Dec 7, 2010 - Rituximab may be a better option than watchful waiting in some lymphoma patients, and a new treatment option appears effective for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to two studies being presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, held from Dec. 4 to 7 in Orlando, Fla. Other research being presented will highlight new options for the standard treatment of advanced asymptomatic follicular lymphoma; mantle cell lymphoma; and early, unfavorable Hodgkin's disease.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Chef's Knife
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Very inexpensive and surprisingly sharp, the OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Chef's Knife is a decent bet if you're not looking to spend a lot. It has a rubberized handle and the blade is stamped out of a sheet of metal rather than forged. The back of the blade is very thin, making it tough to maneuver when doing fine mincing. While we didn't feel it gave precise control, we did find the blade performed well at a handful of tasks including cutting up chickens and chopping carrots. Just don't plan on doing all of your cutting with it.

There are new vehicles. There are used vehicles. And then there are those in a category all their own: Lexus Certified Pre-Owned. Explore below to see why not just any pre-owned Lexus can earn this title.
Not all pre-owned Lexus vehicles are worthy of the coveted Lexus Certified Pre-Owned designation—only the best. If a model is older than six years or driven for more than 70,000 miles, it's immediately rejected. No exceptions.
For extra peace of mind, CARFAX® vehicle history reports are provided for every Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle, helping you and your Lexus dealer identify potential problems that might otherwise be difficult to detect.
Every Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle must pass a comprehensive 161-point inspection by a Lexus-trained technician. If any discovered flaws cannot be repaired to Lexus standards, the vehicle will simply not be certified.
Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles use only certified Lexus parts for any necessary mechanical repairs, performing paint and surface restorations to meet Lexus standards, and thoroughly cleaning and detailing each vehicle to bring out its true beauty.
Because every Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is thoroughly reconditioned and meticulously inspected, we can comfortably sell them with a Lexus three-year, 100,000 total vehicle mile limited warranty [1]. This, of course, is fully included in the purchase price.
Our strict certification standards eliminate the risks typically associated with financing pre-owned vehicles, allowing us to offer the same rates and terms normally reserved for our new vehicles.
Those who acquire a Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle also enjoy the perks of Lexus ownership, including 24-hour Roadside Assistance [2], trip interruption coverage and dealership amenities [3]. Your vehicle's first basic service is free, and a loaner vehicle will be provided for qualified repairs.

Soleus Air SG-DEH-45-1 Dehumidifier
Product Review
This dehumidifier has been recalled. For more information and to request a full refund, visit greedehumidifierrecall.com.
Looking for a dehumidifier that can fit into smaller spaces' The petite Soleus Air SG-DEH-45-1 was among the smallest units in our test. That also meant that this dehumidifier had a rather small water reservoir, which needed to be emptied in less than six hours during our testing (in an 80oF climatology chamber with 60% relative humidity). Inconveniently, the Soleus Air's timer can only be set for either two or four hours, and it isn't particularly energy efficient in comparison; we found that it was only about two-thirds as efficient as our top dehumidifier, the Frigidaire FAD704TDP, but because the Soleus Air is a smaller unit, you won't necessarily see that difference on your utility bill. However, our testers raved about this model's intuitive controls and well-organized display. This unit also has an easy-to-clean filter and three different fan speeds. Note: We weren't very impressed by its instruction manual, which was less robust than that of other models in our test.
Energy Cost to Run Continuously Per Month (based on our test conditions): $43.56
