Quilled Christmas Tree Card
Christmas is on its way. I have started making christmas cards for the upcoming holidays. And here is my first creation.
Yes ! It had to be a quilled christmas tree – something that I had been meaning to try for a long time.
And this christmas tree is embellished by small quilled ornaments and a huge star – all made by hand rolling little strips of paper.
A christmas tree can't be complete without the bells. As they were little big for the tree, have put it on the envelope. A cute way to decorate the envelope and add a christmassy touch to it.

Lovely Christmas Tree ! Beautiful Quilling !Reply
Your quilled cards are so elaborate! Anyone receiving this card will feel the love.Reply

I responded to a questionnare sent by the NCERT regarding the teaching of mathematics and thought it would be worthwhile to share the questions and answers.
- Role and purpose of mathematics education: NCF-2005 has envisioned that the main goal of mathematics education in schools is the mathematisation of the child's thinking. Clarity of thought and pursuing assumptions to logical conclusions is central to the mathematical enterprise. There are many ways of thinking, and the kind of thinking one learns in mathematics is an ability to handle abstractions, and an approach to problem solving. Please comment on the level of importance you would attach to different stages of mathematics education and your views regarding its role and purpose(s).
Mathematical learning/teaching must deal with three components:
Development of the ability to carry out computations (often without worrying about the context). This is sometimes called Algebra.
Pinpointing one's doubts and analysing them through logical thinking. This is sometimes called Analysis.
Constructing new mathematical objects out of old ones and justifying these constructions. In school this is primarily in the context of Geometry but later on it occurs elsewhere as well.
All three aspects --- Algebra, Analysis and Geometry --- are essential to Mathematics. One neglects one or the other at one's own peril!
- Concerns regarding mathematics: NCF-2005 has identified the following core areas of concern: (a) A sense of fear and failure regarding mathematics among a majority of children, (b) A curriculum that disappoints both a talented minority as well as the non-participating majority at the same time, (c) Crude methods of assessment that encourage perception of mathematics as mechanical computation, and (d) Lack of teacher preparation and support in the teaching of mathematics. (e) The emphasis on procedural skills rather than on the understanding of mathematics (f) There are concerns about the type and quality of the mathematics education that students experience in schools. Systemic problems further aggravate the situation, in the sense that structures of social discrimination get reflected in mathematics education as well. Especially worth mentioning in this regard is the gender dimension, leading to a stereotype that boys are better at mathematics than girls. Keeping these concerns NCF-2005 is in action since last 6-7 years. We would welcome your views on these issues or other concerns that you may wish to raise. Also comments on the practical experiences/ concerns on achievement via NCF-2005 recommendations are invited.
The point (d) about lack of trained teachers is the most important concern. The primary difficulty is not the lack of Mathematical training on the part of the teacher, though that is certainly lacking in many cases. Rather, the problem is that the teacher fails to see the classroom as one where she/he too can learn. Thus, the teacher (and hence the student) fail to learn to learn.
The second most important point is the focus on assessment (c) which is seen as a punishment and reward system rather than as a feedback mechanism by which the teacher and student figure out what needs to be studied next.
The remaining problems stem from these two sources.
- Recent developments in mathematics education: In the past years, a revised mathematics curriculum has been implemented at different stages of schooling. NCF-2005 has recommended: (a) Shifting the focus of mathematics education from achieving 'narrow' goals to 'higher' goals, (b) Engaging every student with a sense of success, while at the same time offering conceptual challenges to the emerging mathematician, (c) Changing modes of assessment to examine students' mathematization abilities rather than procedural knowledge, and (d) Enriching teachers with a variety of mathematical resources. The shift in focus NCF-2005 proposes is from mathematical content to mathematical learning environments, where a whole range of processes take precedence: formal problem solving, use of heuristics, estimation and approximation, optimisation, use of patterns, visualisation, representation, reasoning and proof, making connections, mathematical communication. Please comment on the impact of these changes and whether they go far enough to address the problems in mathematics that have been identified. Also comments on the practical experiences/ concerns on achievement via NCF-2005 recommendations are invited.
As mentioned above, no amount of twisting and turning with the curriculum and contents will have a significant impact unless such changes can help motivate the teachers better.
Also mentioned above is the need to retain the computational skill component of mathematics. One learns to ride a cycle before one learns how it is made and one learns to nurture and to grow plants in a garden well before one learns the chemical and biological processes behind agriculture. Of course, mathematics is distinct in that the process of computation can be analysed and re-built from the ground up. This does not mean that one should start with such a (de-)(re-)construction.
A bad teacher can teach computational skills (through hateful drill) which still will be useful, just as a bad programmer can still write ugly computer programs which work. However, one needs a good teacher if one is going to teach conceptualisation. While the suggested aspects like visualisation are important, one should ensure that one does not throw out the baby with the bath water.
- Current trends in mathematics education: A crucial implication of recommended shift lies in offering a multiplicity of approaches, procedures, solutions. NCF-2005 see this as crucial for liberating school mathematics from the tyranny of the one right answer, found by applying the one algorithm taught. Such learning environments invite participation, engage children, and offer a sense of success. Please comment on the relative merits / concerns of applicability of such approaches in Mathematics classes at different stages.
The algorithms that one learns have been developed through the ages. This does not make them sacrosanct, but it does make it important to learn to carry them out. For learning is, in good part, the gathering of one's ancestral wisdom. At a certain age, (usually around the time one enters high school) one learns to question this wisdom --- and that should be encouraged, but one can only do that if one has it on hand.
In mathematics, there is almost always only one "right" answer. However, the emphasis should be on learning from the process by which one obtained the answer, rather than reward for the right answer and punishment for the wrong one.
It would be wrong to give students a sense of ambiguity about the correctness of mathematics. An important aspect of Mathematics (to all users of Mathematics) is its sense of universal correctness. This becomes more nuanced as one studies it deeper, but there is no doubt (amongst its practitioners) that this is its primary purpose.
- Teaching of Mathematics:- A VISION STATEMENT: NCF-2005 envisioned that, school mathematics takes place in a situation where: • Children learn to enjoy mathematics: • Children learn important mathematics: • Children see mathematics as something to talk about, to communicate, to discuss among themselves, to work together on. • Children pose and solve meaningful problems: In school, mathematics is the domain, which formally addresses problem solving as a skill. • Children use abstractions to perceive relationships, to see structure, to reason about things, to argue the truth or falsity of statements. • Children understand the basic structure of mathematics: Arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry etc. • Teachers expect to engage every child in class. Please comment on these visionary statements and on the relationship between learning mathematics and these processes. Please comment on the relative merits / concerns of applicability of such approaches in Mathematics classes at different stages. We would also welcome your views on the students' learning intake and any suggestions you might have for improvement/ updating.
The kind of child-centred learning is difficult if there are a large number of students in each class. However, if the teacher involves students in teaching each other, a lot is possible. At the same time, the teacher needs to move from the role of giver (or imparter) and be more involved in being trained herself/himself. Adopting this role will help students see a live example of continuous learning and thus pick up the habit themselves Such a role will be difficult, if not impossible, in a traditional-minded society such as ours.
- Influence of the assessment: In terms of assessment, NCF-2005 recommends that Board examinations be restructured, so that the minimum eligibility for a State certificate be numeracy, reducing the instance of failure in mathematics. On the other hand, at the higher end, it recommends that examinations be more challenging, evaluating conceptual understanding and competence. Please give us your views on the assessment of mathematics. Also, please comment on the relative merits / concerns of applicability of such approaches in Mathematics classes at different stages.
One of the greatest ills that plagues our education system is that it is largely geared towards certification and eligibility. Given societal needs this aspect of education may be unavoidable and perhaps even necessary evil. We need to think about mechanisms to give the students something more.
The primary purpose of in-classroom evaluation is as a feedback mechanism that helps the student and the teacher improve themselves and move forward. Focussing on grades at this stage is definitely counter-productive. I believe that using this assessment as part of the final grade has reduced its utility for this reason. Thus internal evaluation should remain internal!
Coaching/drilling for certification examinations may need to be separated from this process of classroom learning. This is already happening through coaching classes. While it may be true that coaching only helps students pass the "test of fire" (and then feel "burnt out"), the drill and stamina development is not unimportant if carried out in moderation. In today's society, one does need to learn how to give examinations, appear for interviews etcetera.
- Syllabus levels and Curricular Choices: When it comes to curricular choices, NCF-2005 recommends moving away from the structure of tall and spindly education (where one concept builds on another, culminating in university mathematics), to a broader and well-rounded structure, with many topics "closer to the ground". If accommodating processes like geometric visualisation can only be done by reducing content, NCF-2005 suggests that content be reduced rather than compromise on the former. Moreover, it suggests a principle of postponement: in general, if a theme can be offered with better motivation and applications at a later stage, wait for introducing it at that stage, rather than go for technical preparation without due motivation. As a practitioner, how you feel about these recommendations in current syllabus and its practices. Also, please comment on the issues, if any and on how they might be addressed within the current review.
At the shallow end of a pool one can learn not to fear water, and one can learn how to push it around to get an idea of the "theory" of swimming. However, one cannot learn swimming by wallowing in shallow waters!
Numerous examples of the above kind have already been provided before to say that there does not seem to be a reason to delay the development of skills until one has learned the concepts behind their operation. This does not mean that one should neglect analysis and construction. However, it is acceptable for the latter two to lag behind the pace at which one develops skills. Just like singing, dancing and playing football, it is easier to pick up a facility with numbers and symbols at an early age. It is only a few highly motivated individuals who show the courage and dedication required to learn these skills when they are beyond their adolescent years.
- Student achievement in mathematics: In previous questions considers the evidences of learning Mathematics. How effective, in your view, would each of the following measures be in improving the performance of students in mathematics assessment?
Remark: In question (i) below, this additional class time should not be used to introduce more material!
(i) allocation of more class time to mathematics
(ii) better pre-service and inservice education for teachers of mathematics
very effective
(iii) improved mathematics textbooks and other learning resources
(iv) provision of learning support for students who are experiencing difficulties with the subject
very effective
(v) provision of 'general' as well as 'specialist' mathematics courses
(vi) increased emphasis in examination questions on the application of mathematics to real-world problems
not effective
(vii) the introduction of additional forms of assessment, such as coursework
not effective
(viii) improving the perception of mathematics among parents and the general public
very effective
- Teaching and learning in mathematics: What do you observe that currently Mathematics classrooms indicates that mathematics is taught and learned in a 'traditional' manner, mainly involving teacher exposition or demonstration of procedural skills and techniques for answering examination-type questions, followed by student practice of these techniques (in class or as homework) using similar questions. There appears to be little or no emphasis on students understanding the mathematics involved, or on its application in different or unfamiliar contexts. Please comment on the strengths and weaknesses of this approach. We would also welcome your views on change in teaching and learning approach in Mathematics, the degree to which syllabus change, assessment change, teacher professional development and support would contribute to bringing about changes in teaching and learning.
The current mathematics classrooms are limited, but what they are teaching is not unrelated to mathematical education. Thus the current approach needs to be supplemented with additional work on discussing the concepts, analysing doubts and attempting to construct new concepts. For this to work, the teacher must be also be encouraged to learn in the classroom along with her/his students. The teacher can learn to teach better and also learn to analyse and evaluate any mathematical ideas that are discussed.
A certain amount of change in the syllabus (say about 10%) is required to "keep up with the times". Even though Mathematics is eternal, tastes and utility of mathematical ideas changes with time.
In terms of assessment, it seems to me that involving internal assessment in the certification process (of big competitive examinations) is a failed experiment. It would be far better if the former is kept separate from the latter so that classroom assessment can serve its true goal of self-improvement.
- Attitudes to and beliefs about mathematics: NCF-2005 – and research papers on international trends in mathematics education – raises, on a number of occasions, issues surrounding the perceptions, attitudes and beliefs that exist in relation to mathematics, such as • the view that mathematics is a difficult subject • negative attitudes towards mathematics including, for some, a 'fear' of the subject • the perception and advocacy of mathematics, particularly Higher level mathematics, as an elite subject for only the 'best' students • research findings that suggest a connection between teachers' views of mathematics and their approach to teaching it. We would welcome your views on these or other issues associated with mathematics.
Since I have never feared mathematics myself, it is difficult for me to pronounce judgement on why someone may fear or hate it. However, I did fear and hate Biology and History in school since these subjects seemed to rely excessively on memorisation and elaborate descriptions, in place of analysis and accurate summaries. I have since come to realise that my vision of these subjects was myopic. I cannot with certainty say that it was due to bad teaching either!
Perhaps it is pessimistic to say so, but it seems there will always be some students who will fear and hate mathematics (or any subject) just as there will be some who love it. This will be independent of the quality of their teachers, the curriculum, the contents or the books.
Just as it would be wrong to focus on the best students, it is wrong to focus on the weak ("no child left behind").
Our primary job is to ensure that the large (97%) that sits around the middle of the class does get a good mathematical education---algebra, analysis and geometry/construction in roughly equal parts.
- Other influences: The discussion paper draws attention to a range of other cross-cutting themes or issues that affect mathematics education in schools: • cultural issues related to the value of education in general and mathematics education in particular • equality issues (gender, uptake and achievement; socio-economic factors; educational disadvantage; students with disabilities or special educational needs) • recent developments in, and availability of, information and communications technology (ICT) in schools. Please comment on any of these issues, or on other factors that impact on mathematics education in schools.
To the extent that computers provide us with (yet another) example of the effectiveness of a mathematical approach, and to the extent that they can help us handle computations that cannot be done by hand, it would be good to involve them in mathematical learning.
At the same time, it must be said that excessive exposure to excellence and power can discourage. Just as it may be bad for a youngster to watch too much IPL during the hours when she/he should be playing cricket, it will hurt a young student of mathematics to use a computer to carry out calculations which are instructive to carry out "by hand".
Conclusion The purpose of this review is to map out the direction that must be taken in planning curriculum and assessment provision for mathematics education at different school stages in the years ahead while reviewing the NCF-2005. Please use the space below to make any additional comments on current issues in mathematics education or to give us your views regarding its future.
There is certainly scope for continuous improvement in the teaching of Mathematics. Some mathematical skills which were thought "advanced" 200 years ago could even be considered "essential" for the generations to come.
Elsewhere, I have pronounced that mathematics is "conscious" abstraction in the following sense. We make abstractions unconsciously all the time. However, these are often very individualised. In order to teach these abstractions to others we must understand our own thought process and go through the steps consciously. Only then can we turn these processes into theorems and algorithms ... and thus into mathematics.

The intervention by big brother in the lives of supposedly free, law-abiding citizens has never seemed more brazen than the recent action by Cuyahoga County case workers to snatch an eight-year old Cleveland Heights boy from his family because he is overweight.
That's right---they got a court order and took the child to foster care not because of abuse or neglect but because he weighs two hundred pounds and the Department of Children and Family Services says, ah well, that's too heavy. But who is it who makes that ruling? Some bureaucrat or judicial functionary arbitrarily decides that two hundred pounds is too heavy for a child. What about one hundred eighty?
The case workers say they have been working with the family for a year before asking the juvenile court for custody of the child. And so---incredibly-- it is for failure to follow a diet that allows a government agency to forcibly appropriate a child from what would appear to be an otherwise stable family. Lawyers for the mother who is an elementary school teacher say the county has overreached and we couldn't agree more. It's an abuse of government power. Write and let me know what you think. I'm Bill Applegate and here's the address.

For ease in creating a bathroom that looks like you've stepped into the pages of a decorating magazine, consider this Elizabethan Classics Traditional 60 Inches Clawfoot Cast Iron Bathtub ECR60BSN0HOLE. The combination of white porcelain and satin nickel finish on the ball and claw feet is nothing short of remarkable. Made from cast iron, it has a slip resistant surface that was lacking in the vintage models. There are good reasons that cast iron is such a time honored material; one of them being the fact it's capable of maintaining the water temperature you choose. Measuring at 60 ½" x 30 ½" x 23 5/8", it holds up to 53 gallons of water. This makes for a very nice bath experience.
This high quality claw foot tub is made by Elizabethan Classics, and is just one example of their expertise in design and style. To bring a completion to the function and style, you'll need to find an equally impressive faucet. We have nothing but high end quality to offer in that department as well. This tub is for use with a freestanding supply faucet model which just adds to the old world charm. Not just for a bathroom of classic textures, this Traditional 60" Roll Top Tub is just as accommodating in a bathroom with modern lines.

I'm going to chose to trade with the Cubs. Which is a little bit of a cop out because it's a 100% certainty that a transaction is made with the Cubs between now and the end of the world. Of course I'm talking about Theo Epstein who we've already made half a trade with, the Cubs got him. We haven't gotten anything in return, yet.
Of course no set of GM and team president is as familiar with our system as Jed and Theo are, heck, they may be more familiar with it than our current regime, so it isn't outlandish to believe they may be our best trading partners in baseball going forward, in the same way that we only let Jed Hoyer go to San Diego in the first place so we could get Adrian Gonzalez. (speculation).
In this spirit I believe that we let Theo go to Chicago for the sole purpose of bringing us Matt Garza, who is rumored to be available.
Red Sox get: Matt Garza
Cubs get: Pres Theo Epstein, 1B/3B Kevin Youkilis, RHP Brandon Workman, OF Henry Ramos
Why the Sox would do this: Well we HAVE to receive something from them for one, also we NEED starting pitching. Garza is good, AL East experienced, and with two years of control left, albeit not cheap control because of the aforementioned good. Youkilis is getting a little older and hasn't seen the field as much as any of us may like. Between Punto and Aviles they can form one adequate 3B (Punto has a good UZR there over after 292 games of experience) while we figure out what Middlebrooks is going to be.
Why the Cubs would do this: Well they HAVE to give something for Theo for one, they also need a first or third baseman, which is where Youkilis comes in. Getting him would eliminate their need for an expensive Fielder, who's better suited for an AL team with an eventual opening at DH anyway. Youk may hold up better at 1B, if he plays more time there he's way more valuable than his contract. Workman gives them a guy who looks like he may develop into a work horse, not an ace, but someone who is going to eat a lot of innings for you with decent results, he would slip well into the top of their organization. In Ramos they may get the heir apparent to Soriano in left field or a flop, he's a high ceiling sort of prospect. They also get someone they already have in Theo Epstein.
So please sound off on this. Does it make sense, or does it further confirm your fears that I'm just insane, either because it's way too much, or way too little?

Comments: with all the money you spend on animals etc it is a bargin to be able to test a extremely important parameter, phosphate. It is highly accurate and easy to use. Along with gfo it is easy to manage phosphate.
Comments: This is a great product. Ordinary test kits may be ok for use in finding out if you have a phosphate problem, but they just don't cut it when it comes to monitoring the low range levels of phosphate which are important to us. There have been a few reports of people, including me, who have gotten bad batches of reagents causing inconsistent test results. Fortunately, Marine Depot took care of my issue, and now I'm getting very consistent results. This unit will also help me to determine when it's time to change the media in my phosphate reactor.
Comments: Very easy meter to use.

Sally Field may join Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the next Spider-Man
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant
Right after we announced that Martin Sheen is in final negotiations to play Uncle Ben in the reboot of the SPIDER-MAN franchise, we learn that Sally Field has been offered the role of Uncle Ben's wife, Aunt May. Sally Field would join a semi-star studded cast that already includes: Andrew Garfield (Spidey), Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) and Rhys Ifans (who will be playing the unknown villain). Columbia Pictures is shooting for a release date of July 3, 2012.
Although I give full credit to Columbia Pictures for slowly leaking information to the masses to keep us interested in this film, I'm sick of it. I don't think too many people are happy about this "reboot" and quite frankly we're tired of hearing about it. Just tell us who the big bad villain will be and who will be rounding out the cast in one quick shot, and then maybe we'll think about going to see your movie.

Chelsea and Birmingham City drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, forcing a replay of their FA Cup tie. David Murphy put the visitors ahead on 20 minutes, with Juan Mata missing a penalty just two minutes later. It was Daniel Sturridge that got the equalizer, but Andre Villas-Boas's men couldn't find that extra spark that would allow them to pull off a win.
The first twenty minutes of the match were a dull, scraggly affair. The Chelsea side simply wasn't clicking, displaying misplayed pass after misplayed pass. Birmingham made it difficult for the hosts to find their rhythm, but weren't exactly perfect when they tried to go forward, either. Things got worse for the visiting Blues when, not even fifteen minutes into the match, captain Stephen Carr was forced to limp off the pitch, not being able to shake off a mean tackle by Ryan Bertrand.
But it was Chelsea's defense that cracked -- and did so in a spectacular fashion. Having conceded a corner kick, the Chelsea players crowded around the near post. The ball dropped in, bounced around, and fell to Birmingham left-back Murphy, alone at the far post. While Chelsea were still trying to figure out where the ball had landed, Murphy bundled the ball past Petr Cech and into the back of the net.
Just two minutes later, the home side had their chance to equalize. Wade Elliott, in apparently a rash moment of panic, executed a sloppy challenge on Ramires as he entered the area, clipping the midfielder's knee. With Didier Drogba on the bench, it was Mata who stepped up to the spot. Mata placed his shot low and to the left, but Colin Doyle got a hand to it, pushing it into the post.
Despite a decent attempt by Sturridge, whose long-range shot grazed the top of Doyle's net, that's where the score stood at halftime, 1-0 to the visitors. Having just finished a rousing round of "Jose Mourinho", the Chelsea supporters sent their team into the locker room with a chorus of boos.
Andre Villas-Boas was left with no option but to replace Fernando Torres with Drogba at the break. And although the Ivorian might be one of those "old guard" that AVB prefers not to rely upon, but it's easy to see that the imposing forward still has the power to change the game -- and to lift the crowd. After Drogba managed to get behind the Birmingham defense twice in his first five minutes on the pitch, the mood at Stamford Bridge was much more hopeful.
Surprisingly, though, Drogba wasn't involved in the Chelsea goal. Branislav Ivanovic took the ball to the right corner flag before sending a perfect cross into the middle of the area. Sturridge climbed above the Birmingham defense to head the ball past Doyle and into the back of the net.
Birmingham barely looked interested in re-taking the lead. For a Championship club experiencing financial difficulties, perhaps risking a replay was more financially rewarding than grabbing the win? Their greatest effort in the second half came in the 87th minute, but Nathan Redmond's shot was easily stopped by Cech.


text:
I think it's important to ask ourselves if this is a good defense or it isn't. I think undeniably it is better than last year's defense. I don't even need to look at the stats to know it is better. But, obviously the stats do support it.
How good is this defense? I suggest it is a pretty good defense.I don't think it is quite as good as some are making it out to be. But, it might be - either right now or in the future. Time will tell. But, I like this defense, I consider it a very good defense and expect it to improve. Having said that, on Sunday this defense did some great things but came up short when it needed to. It gave up 30 pts and 141 rushing yards. This was not a team loaded with offensive superstars. At least not on Sunday. No Gronk, no Hernandez, Amendola started hurt and then got further injured. Welker, Woodhead and others are gone and the young receiving corps has been struggling. They have been winning but not impressively.They lost the week before and they They dropped a number of passes in our game.
For the record, I am not 100% sold on Ryan. He's good but he's risky. He's better than Spagnola and he's a lot like GW. But, he's sloppy if you ask me. I thought his finish to the Pats game was sloppy. Wrong personnel in at the end. Too many run stoppers when it was passing situations. It seemed like the defense was gassed they really hadn't played a huge amount in the 4th qtr.
There are 10 games and playoffs remaining and they probably will improve. If Vilma comes back, he may be an asset on passing downs and as Quddus gets healthier he may help in the depth area. Harper, to many a scapegoat, in my opinion is a large asset if used properly, but I will admit I initially thought Bush wouldn't be this good and now I am impressed with Bush's play. I would not take playing time from Bush. And a healthy Broderick Bunkley may help. I am starting to see certain role players fit in nicely also such as Humber, Herring,and Wilson (he probably will eventually have a larger role) and Tom Johnson. Parys Harrelson has played well. I expect him to contribute even more.
But, I was surprised- for all the optimism and buzz about this defense,it seemed like there were very low expectations for it at the end of the Pats game. Like it was too much to ask for this defense to protect the lead. Like the offense needed to proitect the lead and not risk the D getting on the field. It doesn't seem, in spite of all the hype, that the fanbase trusts this defense.
Would last year's SF defense or Baltimore defense get the blame if they gave up a series of plays like the Saints did? Would the SF offense or Baltimore offense get blamed?
Would this year's KC defense not be expected to keep a lead under the same circumstances? How about Seattle's defense? What do you think? Is this a good defense that can be trusted, or will the offense need to carry this defense?
I think this defense should consider itself a bright spot and a top notch unit in itself and not feel like it needs to play second fiddle to any other unit. This is a group that can win games and dominate if they play well. But if they share the same views as many of the fan base, they will be using the offense as a crutch and that's not good. I suspect they are not and they will get stronger from this loss.

And then a step to the right.
Put your hands on your hips.
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.
MESA, Arizona -- It felt like a time warp in Mesa this afternoon.
Carlos Zambrano throwing strikes and looking like he did in 2003. Kerry Wood throwing strikes and registering his very first save of any kind (yes, of course it doesn't count "officially", but it's his first spring save), and the Cubs efficiently dispatched a split squad of Angels 4-1, doing it in one hour and fifty-three minutes, the first time I can remember a spring game finishing in less than two hours -- ever.
For those of you who saw the game on TV and saw the (mostly) plentiful sunshine, the weather turned out much better than any of the dire predictions of thunderstorms this afternoon. There were a couple of sprinkles in Scottsdale on the way driving over, and we could see angry-looking dark clouds to the south and east of the ballpark; rain apparently surrounded us but never got there.
It's possible that the managers told everyone to "swing at the first good pitch you see", because of the threat of rain, and wanting to get the game in. Whatever the reason, I always like seeing baseball played at that fast pace; good pitching and good defense and a couple of key hits and a win and it almost happened just that fast.
Z was outstanding today. Even when he threw a first-pitch ball to several hitters, he rapidly would get ahead in the count, and registered three called strikeouts (appeared that all of them were on backdoor sliders) among his six K's. The only hit he allowed was a standup triple to Angels minor leaguer Sean Rodriguez, and even that was nearly caught by Felix Pie in center field; Pie may have shied away from the wall due to his recent, um, medical problem, and he was given the rest of the afternoon off after he batted in the bottom of the sixth.
Micah Hoffpauir -- who, I've heard, is someone Lou Piniella really likes due to his attitude and hitting prowess so far this spring -- started in right field. Why? I suppose, to increase his versatility in case he's ever needed at the major league level, or for possible trade value. He had no chances; the only ball he touched was the triple by Rodriguez, which he relayed to Mike Fontenot. It's impossible to judge someone's arm strength on the basis of one throw, but it didn't seem more than "average".
The only discordant note today was given us by Carlos Marmol, who allowed the Angels' only run, a HR by Erick Aybar. Marmol did make up for it with a couple of K's. Michael Wuertz threw a good inning, and then Wood came in, facing an actual save situation, and dispatched the Angels 1-2-3; I didn't count pitches but there couldn't have been more than ten.
Granted, Wood was facing three minor leaguers. But the real test for Kerry will come after the off day tomorrow. I'm guessing he'll pitch Tuesday, and then in one of the split-squad games on Wednesday. That would give him four appearances in six days, and three in four, which is a typical workload for a closer. If he handles the situations well, and has no ill physical effects from doing that, I'd say Lou may anoint him closer by the end of the week.
Which is exactly what I think he should do. This is one time warp I'm highly in favor of.
The sellout crowd of 12,771 was a bit restless; many of them looked up from their beer about 2:30 and couldn't believe it was already the seventh inning. BCB reader mrcubsfan joined us on the lawn today, as did my friend and BCB cartoonist Mike, who is here for the next week. We'll have more BCB readers and friends joining us as next week goes on.
Tomorrow, Ted Lilly is supposed to throw some innings in the minor league camp, since it would be his turn on the off day.
Finally, this is the last post I will make using the "old" BCB platform. Here's the time frame: about three hours from now, at 9 pm CDT, the site will be taken offline. If you come here then, you'll see a "we'll be back soon" message. This is being done to migrate all the posts, comments and diaries to the new platform, where you will still be able to access everything that's been written here since February 9, 2005.
Approximately two hours later -- 11 pm CDT -- we'll return with the new design and format, and an explanation of what some of the new features are and how they work. Since tomorrow is an off day, I figured that would be a good day for all of us to check out the new digs. Although I've had a little bit of time to play around with the new format with a private beta site that was set up for SBN bloggers, this will be just as new to me as it is to all of you.
Just know that it'll be the same site, same information, just in a shiny new package.

The Big East adding Memphis would be an unmitigated disaster
The Providence media (who else) started leaking these rumors recently, and now Brett McMurphy from CBS, who is close with John Marinatto, is now taking the rumors public? My response? Wait for Tom Luicci to confirm. As we saw with the Villanova rumors, what Providence wants does not always come to pass, because the Big East football teams can choose who they want to play against. Memphis would need 75% of the Big East football teams to agree before they join for football. Memphis, of course, is horrible at football, and has not been anywhere close to respectable over the past few years. The only way this remotely makes sense is if FedEx doubled their initial offer. For now, fans of competitive Big East football just need to hope that the dolts in Providence are trying to force their will on everyone else through the media again, and that the smart athletic directors like Tim Pernetti are trying to hold their ground. Pretty much, let's see what the Rutgers leaks are over the next few days. If Luicci are Sargeant say this is a done deal, THEN we're screwed. until then, there is still a flicker of hope. Update: and McMurphy says it's done.

Start matched on nice jug. Powerful move up to lip, then to arete on the right. Move through slopers and bad feet to topout left. Excellent start, awkward topout (a more direct topout is possible, but probably just as awkward and real hard).
Easiest way to explain - start hiking up the trail. When you come to the first cluster of tall boulders, make a sharp right and head down the hill. You will pass another tall pedestal-looking boulder, then you will see two closely spaced boulders with overhanging east faces. This climbs the leftmost face/arete on the larger boulder.

Anti-corruption group urges cycling body to reform
GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) — Anti-corruption adviser Transparency International says cycling's governing body should respond to the Lance Armstrong doping affair by ordering independent investigations and widespread reforms.
TI says cycling has been "scandal-ridden" for years, and the International Cycling Union should follow FIFA's lead by asking transparency experts to review its structure.
The not-for-profit group says "bold reforms are needed to win back trust and integrity in competitive cycling".
TI suggests a four-step reform process for the International Cycling Union (UCI) including a code of ethics for officials and better protection for whistleblowers, "so that those who witness wrongdoing feel safe reporting it".
It proposes that the UCI support an independent investigation into past scandals.
TI says "the woes of Lance Armstrong may yet come to be a watershed for cycling's governing body."

Students bring kindness into the classroom
Date: November 5, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
Aidan Wickline wore a smile that could melt even the Grinch's heart. The kindergartner was standing in the middle of his classmates at Southside Elementary when his teacher, Illeana Manzano, asked him to define kindness.
"Kindness is picking someone up when they fall," Aidan said. "You say, 'Are you OK?' If they are really hurt, you take them to the clinic for help."
Kindness can also mean sharing toys and reading to one another, two things that Manzano's and Sue Arden's classes are practicing for their Fairy Kindness project. The kindergartners are currently acting as caretakers for fairy babies, which were originally rocks, but were transformed into fairy babies after being hand-painted.
"The fairy babies were brought to the classroom by the 'Fairy Queen of the Forest,' Chanel Byrd, who has been visiting Southside classes for the past few years," Arden said. "She shows up and surprises the kids. She's just been precious. She tells the students she needs someone to take care of the babies to make them strong."
Byrd asks the kindergarteners to do two things: Read to the fairy babies and teach them kindness through example.
"It really keeps them on their toes," Arden said. "They are watching out, looking for ways to instill kindness into the fairies, and it's becoming a habit, not just a project."
Fourth-grade students are collecting new and gently used books and donating them to Habitat for Humanity families as part of a project started by the Sarasota Reading Council. The books will be placed on bookshelves in four new homes.
Sarah Mikus is donating 12 books that she has outgrown, two of which were once her favorites: "The Three Little Kittens" and "A Short Tail."
"I think they would like these two, and their parents could read to them," Sarah said. "Oh, and 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' will be good for kids who are ready to go on to chapter books. It makes me feel good that I'm doing things for other people, and this is a neat project."
Olivia Clark is donating her Judy Blume and Junie B. Jones books.
"It's fun, and I get to help kids who are learning to read," Olivia said. "I love Judy Blume books, because they are about siblings who try to outdo each other, but they are also books where you learn things."
First-graders are showing kindness by crafting cards for seven children with cancer at the Children's Cancer Center, in Tampa.
That kindness project was born out of teacher Amy Pedler's volunteering for the Life of Riley Foundation, started by Southside parent Kelly Saba, who lost her daughter, Riley, to brain cancer.
"It's something I've volunteered with every year," Pedler said. "The kids have talked about how their grandpa has cancer or their mommy has breast cancer. The children who we're helping are kids Kelly would try to help."
But the handmade cards these first-graders are sending wish the patients more than the typical "get well."
"We're not focusing on sickness," Pedler said. "We're sending stuffed animals and magazines, telling jokes — we just want to brighten their day."
First-grader Elisabeth Strom plans to insert a few varieties of the "Why did the chicken cross the road?" joke into her cards.
"We will send some cards to these little kids and big kids that have cancer," Elisabeth said. "Every single class in the first grade has picked one child. The cards will make them happy."

Garys Corner of Tosa
Since moving to the 4th district in 1998 my wife and I have witnessed many big changes in our neighborhood. More big changes loom over us and I will be writing about them here.
Here We Go Again
OK somebody call the National Security Agency I think our corner is under attack....again. We just had to button down the hatches when the captain announced "set zebra" close all hatches and vents we are under a chemical gas attack.
But that's OK ,folks, we are going to be alright . I'm sure of it. After calling the Wauwatosa health department, I think I made some head way. I just don't know why the gentleman in charge of Environmental Health hasn't called me back. But I'm sure he will. He will won't he?
I mean the health department even wants to protect us from Radon. It's a colorless, odorless gas that can cause lung cancer. I'm sure they are concerned about colorless gases that stink like hell and can potentially cause cancer too?
I mean the health department does investigate human health hazards, and well everyone who thinks the health department should investigate this stink that is supposed to pass for our air well you all raise your hands, just do it indoors cause right now it's nasty outside.
Anyone seen my Alderman McBride? Haven't heard a peep from him about these gas attacks we have around here. Alderwoman Organ you must be real busy too. I did hear from Alderwoman Nikcevich though. Here's what she said regarding the foundry and the Stone Point Senior Apartments.
Thanks Gary,
This is something that I will keep watch on. I asked Griffin to respond to some of your points from the previous email. I think it is something that we need to stay vigilant. I do believe that the apartment complex with its row of trees along the lot line will be a step in the right direction along with the grass. There is no perfect solution but I am trying to get the best results possible.
Yours for a better Wauwatosa,
Linda Z. Nikcevich
Linda Z. Nikcevich
Alderwoman 1st District

Wauwatosa, WI 53213
Well, thank whoever you thank, because the newly approved Senior Apartment development is going to be protected from Grede's hazardous air pollution by a row of trees. If I knew that's all I needed to do, I'd of planted them suckers 10 years ago.
There's no perfect solution, huh? I'm sorry, but we need more then photosynthesis to help us. I got the perfect solution, and I've been saying it all along, haven't I? Yes, I have. Close the foundry. No, it's not simple I agree. Is it fair to the people working there? Is it fair we can't go outside right now, or open a window. Is it fair our health is at risk? When I say our health, I don't just mean mine and my wife, I mean everyone who is down wind at this very moment.
Around the corner from me I bet at least the first 7 houses pay as much property tax as Grede does. The foundry affects this neighborhood so much, and we affect the foundry not at all. It's like they have a stone wall of protection around them. Why is that I wonder? What system can do that? Who can get away with that?
Who are you that lets these chemicals drift through our yards, day cares, and parks? Are you evil and do you hide in shadows just out of sight, quiet and still. Should we be afraid of you? Should I tell you who it is? Because I know who it is, don't you?
Why it's every one of you who closed their windows just past 8:00 pm tonight and who won't call this guy at the DNR. And it's all of you who ever had to close windows and never did a thing about it...it's you!.

You see I recently heard from a neighbor who did call the DNR. This neighbor who I thank so much called the DNR. Mr. Griffin told him if one person makes a thousand complaints "me" nothing will happen. But if 30 individuals call and make complaints, then something can happen. Please call or email these guys and make something happen. Please,I can't do this alone. I need your help to improve our quality of life.
It's getting late so I'm going to get my respirator on, and take my dogs out now. I wonder if they make respirators for dogs? Gary K.

A singletrack adventure on the Centennial Trail #89. Near Sturgis, SD
From MP's sister site: MTB Project
The Meat Packing Plant area refers to all of the sandstone situated on the "M" hill near the gap in Rapid City. I suppose that the name is out of date after the fire a few years ago at the plant, but this has been what the area has been called traditionally.
Getting There
The most common approach is to park near the corner of the two streets which intersect at the front gate of the meat packing plant. This is the first major right turn off of Omaha street after getting on Omaha from I-190 (West Blvd). The road is 12th Street, which should cross the creek and take a 90 degree turn to the left.

(Bumped to the main layout. - ed.)
There is without a doubt we, as Auburn fans, are living in very frustrating times. Last night my frustration piqued around 3:30AM as I was replaying an argument I had with an aquaintence of mine who happens to also be an Oregon fan. Hee thought he would take the time to make fun of me for saying K-State was better than Oregon (this referred to another argument we had prior to K-State and Oregon's loses). He continue to claim that Oregon was the best one loss team in the country and could beat any of those other one loss teams. To which I responded, "Except Stanford but they're a two loss team so I guess Oregon wouldn't have to worry about playing them again."
He then proceeded to throw strings of expletives and insults my way (to which I returned with equally vitirolic words), claims that the SEC is top heavy and overrated (to which I said the current "parity" in the PAC-12 is comparable to the ACC) and of course the final straw of any asshole fan, "how does it feel to have paid for a national championship?" I paused for a moment and asked him to explain what he meant.
"Uh, Scam Newton, duh! Everyone knows you guys paid him."
"Cam Newton. Let me ask you something; what position did Cam Newton play for Auburn?"
"What? Quarterback."
"And on what side of the ball is that position?"
"So how did Cam Newton, who played quarterback, which is an offensive position in the game of football, keep Oregon, which ranked first in three different offensive categories, from beating Auburn? How? Tell me how he did that? You want to know who beat Oregon? Auburn's defense, as shitty as it was, beat Oregon. A defense composed of mostly three star players and yes, that includes Nick Fairley. A defense that was coached by a man who hadn't known a winning season in over a decade who came from some of the worst teams at Minnesota ever and was 6-45 at Duke! Ted Roof! Ted fucking Roof and those players held Oregon to 100 yards below their season average, 25 points below their scoring average and held the nations leading rusher and scorer to 43 yards! TED ROOOOOOF! OREGON LOST TO HIM! SO YEAH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BOUGHT AND PAID FOR YOU [expletive expletive more expletives]!!"
I wish I could say that the argument ended there but it didn't and there was a lot more yelling and cursing and now someone who I actually got along with I'm going to have to ignore for a bit. Afterwards I went home and began thinking about that defense and those players who composed it. None of them were particularly phenomenal with the exception of Nick Fairley. Sure, plenty of them had some really good impactful plays but not with any real consistency or none that I truly remember. With that thought-worm wriggling in my brain it brought me to Auburn's current defense, which ranks currently at 82nd in total defense between NCST and Wazzu. I thought to myself, "how can these guys be so bad? Didn't Auburn recruit some quality players? Especially after the National Championship? I just don't get it." So I did some research.
I decided to look at Auburn's 2011 recruiting class and compare it to Auburn's 2005 recruiting class. Why 2005? Because this was the signing class right after Auburn's 2004 season, which at the time was pretty much considered the pinnacle before 2010. I looked through the 2005 signing list for names of players that had similarities in position on the field, ranking by the recruiting service I was using, Rivals, and also how recognizable those players were to me (objectivity what's that?). Almost immediately I found four players that fit the aforementioned criteria: Walter McFadden, Aarion Savage, Jonathan Wilhite and Jerraud Powers.
All four of these players were recruited as defensive backs for Auburn. Each one of them were ranked at three stars by Rivals. All of them I knew quite well because I yelled at them numerous times through my TV (I apologized to Jerraud though, that pass to Byrd was just all luck and Powers couldn't have covered him better, nothing you could do, bro).
Also all of these guys would see significant playing time. Powers and Savage were named to the All-SEC freshmen team. Powers, Wilhite and McFadden would all go pro with Jerraud still playing for the team that drafted him in the third round, the Colts. Savage was playing on the 2010 Auburn team but was injured in the Arkansas game and now currently works for the football program. In other words these guys were pretty good.
Ok, so now on to the 2011 class and knowing that I would have to find four players who matched the ones listed above otherwise all this nonsense wouldn't work. Well, it so happens that Auburn recruited four defensive backs in 2011: Erique Florence, Jonathan Rose, Robinson Therezie and Jermaine Whitehead. Not only that but each one of these guys were ranked FOUR stars by Rivals and just like the guys six years prior to them they saw playing time right from the get go.
So how do the 2011 players match up to the 2005 signees? Well, the 2011 guys are in their sophomore season so how did the 2005 guys do in 2007? Honestly, the 2005 players blow them out of the water. The 2007 Auburn defense was nationally ranked 6th in scoring allowing 16.7 points per game, 8th in yards per game at 298.3 and racked up 14 interceptions. Yes, I know that's what the team did not the four individuals themselves so let's look at them. Powers led the group we're discussing with 63 total tackles with Wilhite at 30, Savage at 26 and McFadden with 10.
The 2011 signees record as such for the 2012 season: Whithead with 86 total tackles followed by Florence with 8, Therezie with 3 and Rose with none due to having to sit out a year for transferring to Nebraska...wait, what? Well, despite the perceived talent these fellows came onto a team that was crowded at their positions. There were a total of 12 defensive backs that recorded tackles this season. The guys in front of Florence and Therezie who recorded more tackles and saw more playing time? Bell and Holsey are the only 4 stars and Holsey was recruited this year. Granted most of those guys came in the year before that didn't stop Power, Wilhite, Savage and McFadden from getting out on that field.
So what does all this mean? Is this a condemnation of the recruiting rankings? Is this evidence against those that are responsible for these players development didn't do just that? Could it be that their teammates who weren't so highly thought of just put out more effort than them and they earned that playing time?
There's a cynical adage that I like that says talent, technique and teamwork will always overcome heart. Well, we know that pure talent can only carry someone so far and talent really isn't anything without developed technique. Technique itself depends on (in this situation) the individual's ability to work and develop with the team. For that to take place an individual's heart has to be in "it."
Now, look at this team and try your best to remember that 2007 team.
What do you see?

Swing top bottle.
Hazy apricot amber body with a decent head.
Body is a bit thin even for style and despite adequate carbonation.
Light flavor from both the yeast and the malt components. Balance leans a bit more towards the malts than the yeast. Highlight: the nice nutty finish and aftertaste, with a hint of hazelnut.

Kaiser Brau Veldensteiner WeiBbier changed the color of my clear weizen glass to a cloudy "dirty" gold color producing a 1 1/2 finger white head that held well. Streaks and spots of lacing remained as I consumed the ale. The light nose was dominated by a mild banana and orange citrus aroma. The taste was similar to the smell with a slight clove spice in the background. The finish was a little dry and crisp with a lighter mouth feel for a hefeweizen.
Overall, Veldensteiner WeiBbier is an easy drinking hefe due to its lighter less rich flavor
There are more flavorful [German] hefes available.

S - Green banana, strange acrylic twang, sweet wheat.
T - Lightly sour, thick wheat, lemon highlights. Green vegetable aftertaste.
M - Light frame with an almost syrupy finish.
O - A below average hefe with a lot of off-notes. Save your money for a better brew.

Got a lot of these at $2 a bottle on a steal! Poured into a weizen glass.
A - Pours a murky orange-straw yellow. Massive frothy pale head. Give the glass is rather thin, this head is over a full finger length. Awesome retention and nice lacing.
S - Clove. citrus and a bit of funk. Makes me appreciate the greater hefe's from Ayinger and Weihenstephaner.
T - A bit of dank fruit upfront, some lively yeast and thin wheat malts. Not really exciting.
M - Light body with above average carbonation.
O - A boring, musty, hefe that I was really expecting better from. I don't expect to ever have this brew again.

Pours a cloudy golden orange color with straw yellow edges and a two finger frothy, pillowy white head that slowly settles into a lasting ring. Streaks and large spots of soapy lacing left behind.
Spicy aroma with a prominent clove presence that's countered by bready yeast, banana and citrus rind. The yeast character is really strong ith lots of bread and banana that overpowers the spice and orange peel notes.
Medium bodied with soft carbonation and a zesty spice flavor that lingers over the yeast, banana and citrus notes into a slightly dry, tart finish. Strong clove presence up front that's quickly countered by prominent bread and banana notes. Tart orange peel sweetness in the finish. Overall this is an average example of the style. It has all of the traditional characteristics but the bread/banana/yeast presence is too strong for my preference overpowering the other flavors.

Hazy tarnished brass color with golden highlights. Bright white head. Smells oddly of sweet dark fruit and burnt pizza crusts.
Very strange beer. Tastes like it could be a dunkel but someone lightened it up with something. Light and crisp with a burnt caramel note. Semi-spicy finish.
This beers done wrong. Tastes like a dunkel and looks likes a weiss.Either the importer hasn't taken care of this beer, or its a bad beer from the start.

On tap at the Castle Burg Hotel in Neuhaus Pegntitz, Franconia - tap house for Veldensteiner beers in the same town where it is brewed
Served into a tall Weissbier glass bearing the Valdensteiner name as you would expect!
hazy yellow in colour with typical clouding for weissbier and a fair sized head of around an inch
tastes were of slight barley, fairly sweet but not too so, also slight spice and citrus coming across
Not the worlds greatest Weissbier but a decent enough effort!

Beer pours a cloudy yellow in color into my Amsterdam weizen glass with a noticeable amount of carbonation that is visible from the rising bubbles. Smells of clove, spice notes, coriander, and banana. taste is very similar to the smell but weaker on the flavors; little bit on the bland side. light-bodied on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. Dryness on the finish. Overall, a decent hefe but I think there is better out there.

.5L Bügelflasche, best before 10/21/11.
Pours cloudy light straw-orange with a nice head. Not as persistent as some, but still fluffy and creamy, with some lacing.
The aroma is spicy and lemony, with a background of raw yeast.
The flavor is kind of watered-down. Some hints of clove, coriander and other spices, along with a nondescript fruitiness. Tastes kind of like a Witbier meets Hefeweizen, though not convincing. Lightly sweet and yeasty. The mouthfeel is well-carbonated, but comes off harsh and drying on the palate.
An average Hefeweizen at best.

Ok, not gonna lie; I got this beer mostly because of the bottle. But it works out because of the hefeweizen kick I'm on now and it's something new.
A- Light golden orange with a decent white head that quickly dissipates into an equally decent ring of lace.
S- Not a whole lot of smell, but what there is is sort of a sweet, nondescript fruit aroma. It's a bit like sweet pears or plums with maybe a little of the traditional banana and clove aromas. Not bad, but I really wish it were stronger.
T- Some sour malt and a grassy hop character. A little bit of banana and some powdery yeast, but not much else. Not bad, but pretty bland.
M- Fairly light with a good dose of prickly carbonation.
Eh, it's pretty so-so. Nothing stands out as "bad" about it; there aren't any off flavors or anything. It's just bland. I mean, it's probably a good quencher for a hot summer day, but that's about it. You can do better, and at a lower price too. I probably won't be getting it again.

a very old bottle that held up...
drink by 16/09/10 posted...
nose when popped is at first and foremost almond/marzipan. that fades rather quickly and is replaced with a stale banana fruit... but this even dissipates. it takes a bit. the pour is beige with a good carbonation. great for the age. palate once dissipated is actually similar to the pilsner in hop character once its gotten old. a bit floral subtle. more so sweet like a belgian malt liquor sweet. brown sugar and honey. not overpowering but very much so the predominant.
would like to try fresh... on the helles hef side i would figure.

500 ml swing-top bottle. Served in a weizen glass, the beer pours a hazy golden/orange color with a two inch frothy white head. Head retention is pretty good, but there isn't much lacing at all. Aroma is cloves, banana and wheat. Nice smelling brew. It tastes like wheat, cloves, and a bit of bubblegum. Not as nice as the aroma, but still decent. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's smooth and is well carbonated (maybe a bit too much). I think it's a decent brew, but not one of the best hefe's I've tried. With that being said, it's worth a try.

Tried this at the Split Rock Beer Fest on 11-21-10. They had a bunch of the Veldensteiner bottles there and I knew that I'd never tried any of them so I made sure to get them all under my belt. This ended up being a pretty standard Weissbeir. Cloudy yellow color, Banana and clove on the nose. Little on the flat side. It's was ok.
