The term "drop dead gorgeous" has forever been redefined with the Men of Mortuaries 2008 Calendar.
The calendar features 14 shirtless funeral directors who are trying to raise breast cancer awareness.
Cody Jones, Funeral Director of Callaway-Jones Funeral Home in Bryan, is featured in the month of May. Jones' grandmother is a breast cancer survivor and her birthday is in May.
This year, the calendar showcases the men in activities outside of work, including soccer, cooking and fixing cars.
The money raised from the calendar goes to KAMM Cares, a non-profit organization that offers assistance to people going through breast cancer research.

The rest as they say is history – and in Summerfield's case it's a rich history.
Today he's the founder and chief executive of Auraya Systems, which has developed Armorvox, a voice biometric and speech recognition system that is already deployed in St George Bank and New Zealand's tax office. It's his second start-up having previously founded Syrinx which produced speech recognition which was used in TABs, CommSec and AT&T in the US.
Summerfield's timing is better this time around thanks to the advent of the smartphone. According to ABS statistics released this week there are now over 16 million mobile phone subscribers in Australia, and a growing proportion of these are smartphones – used not only for voice but internet connection.
With security a key issue for smartphone users voice biometrics seems the logical technology to allow user authentication. At the same time enterprise contact centres could also benefit from a technology which allows someone ringing in to be identified and authenticated just from their voice print.
His first enterprise, Syrinx, was founded in 1990, and over a decade used $20 million in venture capital to become the largest speech recognition business outside of the US and Europe, with a team of 65 people. But along the way Summerfield was ousted by new management installed at the company and started casting around for new opportunities.
Nine months later when Syrinx went into liquidation Summerfield found himself working with Ted Dunstone, helping to set up Australia's Biometrics Institute; and later working with VeCommerce which was a Nuance reseller and has since been bought by Salmat.
He was then offered a position as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Canberra in computer science focussed on biometrics. "I was a Clayton's professor – they pretend to pay me so I pretend to work," says Summerfield. But the gig eventually led to his latest adventure.
In 2005 Centrelink asked the university to undertake an evaluation of off the shelf voice biometrics, and Summerfield helmed the project through his consulting business 3SH which developed a methodology for evaluating voice biometrics.
"Centrelink worked out that by automating authentication they could save a bundle and strengthen security." On the back of that report the organisation starting talking to Telstra about implementing a voice biometrics system. In a curious twist of fate Telstra had ended up with the Syrinx intellectual property in its portfolio, having bought local business Kaz, which had itself salvaged the IP from the wreck of Syrinx.

Last Friday, we ended your work week with a video that combined Celine Dion with Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" for an awesome music video. Today, we have another "Get Lucky" remix video.
Joanna Rohrback has recently revived her original aerobic routine she created in 1989 called Prancercise. According to Rohrback, Prancercise is "A springy, rhythmic way of moving forward, similar to a horse's gait and is ideally induced by elation." A few months ago she released a video showing how to do the ridiculous routine that had people cracking up all over the internet.
Now the goofy exercise/dance/awkward flailing has been remixed with Daft Punk and it's even more hilarious.
This dance reminds me an awful lot of my Mom's entrance at my Bar Mitzvah.
Her video was hilarious on its own, but with the Daft Punk Remix, it really is amazing.

Seems to be a running them with theme with the twitter app, lots of features but not obvious where they are.... slightly frustrating.

Right Result Wrong ReasonWritten by Kenneth Sharp | | email@example.com
Senator Rob Portman (R. OH) has changed his stance on gay marriage after revealing he has a gay son. Immediately there was backlash from both the left and the right. Both are claiming his change of heart was motivated by his love for his child and not a circumspect ideological shift. Rightfully, no one challenges his desire to have his son live a full and rewarding life; the criticisms are from those who see him as either abandoning his core religious values and of those who elected him in favor of family, or that he only changed his stance when he was personally affected. This is a perfect time to examine what representative democracy and rule of law are about.
We are not a democracy. The Founders explicitly avoided direct democracy as it has always devolved into "mob rule" and/or the oppression of the minority. In some aspect of our lives we are all minorities. We elect representatives to govern in our stead. We should not elect bullies for our cause. These representatives are not there to express the dominant view of the majority who elected them, but are to represent all in their immediate polity under the rule of law. This rule of law is also not meant to be subject to the whims of the powerful or the majority. The Constitution of the United States is the basis for the rule of law by which our representatives are supposed to adhere.
This means we need to examine the rules which our laws are supposed to follow and why. The Constitution is a framework for governance based on the respect for inalienable rights. We may differ on the source of these rights, but not that they reside with each individual. Included is the right of conscience: the right to follow the religious teachings we deem true, to speak, write and advocate for our ideas. Also included is the right of property: most notably the rights to our bodies, minds and our labor. The fusion of these two lead to our paths in life-our pursuits of happiness. In any society we cannot carry out our pursuits while interacting in the many ways we must with others without some structure. This structure is government, a matter of convenience so we do not have to "reinvent the wheel" each time we interact.
Senator Portman initially failed to follow the rule of law in favor of the majority of his supporters and Party. One does not have to agree with gay rights, including marriage, to conclude that in society, a person can follow their own conscience on the issue. We (in the form of government) cannot deny basic rights based on gender. That is precisely what is done by denying gay marriage. Under no circumstances would this require a religious group to sanction or perform such marriages, if that would be a violation of their right of conscience. Government is meant to be apart from all bias based on individual conscience, especially in matters of religion. Government should not favor one group over another based on religious or gender preferences. This is precisely what is happening, mostly through the tax code. In the eyes of the State marriage is a contract between two parties. Only the common rules of contract eligibility should apply. Senator Portman and others, in both Major Parties, too often follow Party line and popular view over rule of law. When they do change, it is less often by reasoned, critical thinking or the belief in individual rights than it is some personal crisis leading to a conversion of expediency.
This shouldn't be a surprise. It can be argued that we have never practiced the full promise of rights we claim. From our Founding, compromise led us from the rule of law to the will of the powerful or the majority. Slavery was condoned; women had few rights and no political voice and minorities have had to constantly battle to achieve parity under the law, even today. We espouse ideals that we never live up to. Until "We the People" means "We the People" we will never get there. There will always be people acting or speaking in a way you oppose, but unless they are actively doing it to you, it is their right. If we choose to vote for proxy bullies rather than the respect for the rule of law we can count on the continued decay of rights until tyranny seems a plausible solution. Then we all lose.
The conversion of Sen. Portman (and others) would be better grounded and easier to accept if based on inalienable rights, rule of law and explicitly stated as such. In other words, if based on the promise of the Constitution.

Breaking news in the world of literature:
British supermodel Kate Moss, at the center of a scandal last year after being filmed apparently snorting cocaine, has agreed to publish her autobiography. Will Whitehorn, a right-hand man of Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, said Moss had agreed the terms of a deal with Branson, although there was no indication of when the book would appear on the shelves.
That coke scandal could turn out being the best thing that ever happened to her. Are you paying attention, young models?

Cheese plates?
- s
- samsa
I'll be spending next weekend in Montreal. I'd like to sample the unpasteurized French and French-style cheeses that we can't get here in the U.S. Can anyone recommend restaurants with outstanding cheese courses, or a good retail store that will sell small quantities?
Hamel is a great place to shop for cheeses - there is a shop at the Jean Talon outdoor market and another one waayyyyy out on Sherbrooke. Also, try the Atwater market, there is a good cheese shop on the ground floor - can't remember the name - perhaps someone else here knows?? I think Hamel has a website as well.
re: Kitty
Here's the website for Hamel. What's nice is that they've specified in the descriptions which cheeses are made from raw milk (cru lait) and which are pasteurized.

He doesn't want kids, but I do?
Okay so I've been with my boyfriend for about 7 months now and everything's been great and I can very much say I'm completely happy with my life... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Guys often change their mind on this issue as they age. My gut feeling is he'll eventually shift his viewpoint on children as most men do, but I'd also be remiss if I didn't warn you that there are times when their mentalities don't change. Go over with him the reasons for him not wanting kids. If it's because he enjoys the freedom of not having kids (though cute they do suck up a lot of time) he'll probably grow out of that as he ages. If it's something else like he can't stand kids (they yell all the time, they're a constant mess) he may not get over that. If he says he's okay with being an uncle though, and if he says if you do have kids it's a blessing, then he'll probably at least be open to having a kid in the future.
exactly! I think he might be a bit scared of the fact that he needs to take care of somebody else who is reliable on him. I know a lot of guys who said that (don't know his age..but maybe same age gap like yours?) and they TOTALLY changed their view when they heard their girlfriend is pregnant! So no worries!
What Guys Said 4
I guess he knows you want to have kids even though the relationship is very young. You have to be realistic and not expect to have kids this early and he could be worried that this will be a decisive desire from you too early in the relationship for him and you. You need more time because its a big commitment and it makes sense to be together and stronger for longer so don't worry about it he just doesn't want that pressure just now because 7 months is no time atal.
Guys opinions on these things change with age it seems. I would not let this ruin anything. You said it yourself that if it happened he said it would be a blessing. I would say that is more than some of my friends used to say and now they are trying to have children. From what I can tell with most of my friends is that opinion mostly changes when they get out of college and settle down in their own home and a steady job.
What Girls Said 7
dude... he said he'd be OK with if it happened... that doesn't sound like the guy is TOTALLY saying no way to kids. He's young, I assume, as you are... waaaaay too early to think about children!
Guys don't have the same clock as women. My brother didn't want kids or a wife when he was in his 20's or even early 30's... now at 35 he got a wife and by forty he had four kids! This from the same man who said no way no how was he having kids or a wife...EVER.
So, be patient, observant...worry more about your career and life. Let him worry about his. :)
Kids are not easy at all, they're sometimes a pain in the... so don't go into it lightly. :)
You have to figure out what things in your life are nonnegotiable. It could be religion, kids, marriage, etc. The things that are nonnegotiable in your life are things that would bring you extreme unhappiness if you were to compromise for the sake of the other person or the relationship.
In your case its kids. and in his case it might also be not having kids.
SO please don`t wait around to see if he changes his mind. Some women do and then years later they realize that the guy won't change his mind and that she wasted x amount of years on this dead-end relationship.
But I think maybe its time for you to talk to him on your views of that topic and then you will see from there
Do you want kids right now and this very second?
It is really disheartening to be told someone doesn't have the same thoughts on kids :/
But with time positions and stances on things do change. Just don't worry about it now. You might have a beautiful future together with many kids later on. He might just right now not be ready for kids.
I would say stay with him, and when the time comes talk to him again about this and how you feel.
Real love is about compromise.
Is it financially reasonable to assume on a teacher's salary you can have a ton of kids? Nope, I would know, I'm a college professor and I can barely afford what my own two children want/need.
Is it fair to the planet for your to birth a ton of children in an over populated globe that is fighting constantly for limited resources?
Is it fair to a child to have less financial security because it's mother wanted a full nest? The average American child, just on the BARE minimum costs 180 grand in food, clothing and shelter to rear over 20 years. That's a college education. If you have 3,4,5, kids, you won't be able to afford college for them, is that fair?
You are getting into education - your life will full of children EVERYDAY, so it's not like you will miss out on their innocence or company. There is a world out there to mother, children need not share your genes directly in order to require your parenting.
Perhaps it's time to talk with your boyfriend about how you DO want children, and wanted a large family, but because you love him you are willing to compromise and settle on the experience of ONE child, when HE is ready. Not only would this please your man and please you, but it would ALSO give that single child the best financial start in life possible.
It sounded as though he let you know his opinion on the matter, but didn't give you a chance to voice yours. I love kids too, and if my boyfriend said that he didn't want them, that would pretty much be a deal-breaker for me. So, I think you need to bring the matter up again, and let him know that having kids is really important to you and that you're concerned that you both have different ideas about the future. He should be able to have a mature conversation about it with you and either things won't work out or you'll reach a compromise. Most importantly, don't stew over the matter and let it eat away at you - clear the air and talk things over.
Have an opinion?

I have been to this place twice, each time gave me a different feeling whenever am visiting them. Went there twice was way before I was blogging about food.
Looks like I should pay them a visit again?!
By the way, we've tried the Chicken Macaroni Pie too. But then wasn't tomato sauce. It was good to have one too.
New Kid on the Blog – I too had the Chicken Macaroni Pie many years ago without tomato sauce but this time around they seems to have change the receipe.
Is it the change of the chef or are they catering for the Europeans?
Gorgeous hotel, makes for a lovely dinner venue. I'm intrigued by the chicken macaroni pie… any idea where else we can find the original version?
Squall – this is definitely a getaway from the buzzing city.
550ml jar of faith – I am totally lost as where to find the place that serve original macaroni pie. Does anyone out there happen to know where to get it?
oh, somehow the price range is slightly upmarket? but the ambience made up for that, I assume. good place.
J2kfm – I do find the prices a bit on the higher end too but I guess places with great atmosphere and beautiful seaview does cost more:)
Looks like a great place for a short break. I enjoyed your blog.
Name:da big d – very nice of you to drop by and indeed happy to know you.
It is worth visiting this place – a getaway from the city, to relax over a nice dinner.
The pie! I want the pie! If I stay a night there I won't leave for the rest of my life

The scenery was enough to make me hooked…not to mention the food yet. Hopefully can try out the chicken macaroni pie one day!!
blogger gathering?? How interesting!!!!
p/s:thanks for your comments in my blog…I just came back from my holiday!
I havent been to Lone Pine for a very long time. I use to come here every Sunday with my family when I was a kid. It's certainly has changed a lot. The food looks interesting too. What dishes would you recommend?
Buzzingbee – beautiful scenery and tasty food = enjoyment …worth visiting.
Fortesfidelis – Most Penangites knew about Lone Pine hotel but not this restaurant. Drop by and try out the Macaroni Pie and the Hainanese Spring Roll/Satay…
It has been a long time since I last visited this place. I love the Sunday Buffet Lunch there but the place is just a bit too far for me to visit now. I ended up at E&O Hotel most of the time now
Hmmm… Macaroni Mashed Potato Pie. Anyone want to sponsor an oven? I can make good pies and pasta too. Sheppard Pies anyone?? Haha
Criz Lai – this place is slightly far from town, but a good option when you need to entertaining friends especially those from outstation and overseas.
Didn't know that you are good at cooking too. How about organizing a pasta night with pies for dessert, all prepared by Chef Lai?
I love that place. The rooms were painted were painted like Southern France with orange/terra colors with plants. First time I was there, attending a Charity Dinner at the 2nd bungalow (left side of the restaurant.) Later on, my family would go there for the food. IT's a expensive compared to what the worth but the environment cured that feeling BTW, did you notice the cutlery they used were from E & O? I know they were part of the group…I wonder why they don't have sets printed with the Lone Pine Logo?
CK, Thank you so much for all the infos you posted in this blog… Is a very wonderful reference because when I told places of Penang, my European friends and families looked in disbelieved… WIth your blog I showed them that I'm not clouding their eyes
Have nice week and thanks
Pixen – It's nice knowing you and thanks for sharing your wonderful receipes with me.
All nice and good things are meant to be share with friends and I am glad that your European friends and families find my blog useful and I hope it will provide them some ideas of dining places in our lovely island.
You are indeed a very observant person. I didn't notice the word
E & O while dining in Lone Pine. The next time around, I must wear my reading glasses when I eat so as not to leave out any fine prints…haha.
i love the environment there, it is really nice!!! thanks for sharing~~~~
Hotel has some charming character, bit old-fashioned, less nice than your pictures suggest. Environment is typical touristic.
Asian food in general ok although way to expensive compared to the great local food at coffee shops or restorans.
Western food: just to be short: a waste for your taste buds and a great way to trow good money away.
When in Penang: eat Penang food!
(Mind you, I love Euro-food… in France, Spain, Italy or Belgium.)
Just my 2 sen.

The university pledged to reimburse employees for the excess taxes they paid or help them file amended returns.
But that promise came only after a scathing critique from two Harvard Law School professors, Alvin C. Warren and Daniel I. Halperin. The professors wrote to colleagues that the letter the Harvard benefits office sent affected employees in January was "misleading as to both the scope of the problem and the university's responsibility to make some 11,000 employees whole for a monumental mistake by the central administration."
In all, Harvard erroneously reported more than $20 million to the IRS between 2009 and 2013, according to a letter sent to affected employees Friday by Marilyn Hausammann, vice president for human resources.

What exactly is the Sociopathic Style?
What exactly is the Sociopathic Style?
The Sociopathic Style is a dysfunctional relationship style that operates and thrives in the Power (Victim/Rescuer/Perpetrator) Triangle.
Although, we use the terms sociopath and psychopath as a shorthand description, we know we are not equipped to make that assessment. We do evaluate the relationship style and we help those who actively participate in the Power Triangle realize that, even as a victim, they are engaging in that style of relating.
The key to recovery is the desire and willingness to change our own relationship patterns that block us from having healthy relationships.
Any time a person points a blaming finger at someone else, he is participating in the Sociopathic Style. It doesn't matter which role (victim, rescuer or perpetrator) they are operating from. The power dynamic is all the same and is driven by the innate desire to control other people's feelings, emotions, behavior and actions.
The energetic dynamic of the Sociopathic Style has an under-current of energy that pushes and pulls. At times it is hardly noticeable and other times it is very assertive. There is rarely a neutral position. The person who is committed to this relationship style cannot hold positive, neutral, harmonious energy for very long.
Within a few short weeks of harmony, the one who is most committed to the sociopathic relationship style will do something to shake things up. He might push his mate's boundaries, bring someone into the relationship that is seen as a threat, or speak of things that upset the victim. He might criticize and judge until the victim retaliates.
Then, he begins to devalue her. He may call her jealous, insecure, crazy and any number of things. In essence, this stage is necessary because the perpetrator is projecting his deepest hidden insecurities onto her. This is a great moment for the perpetrator in more ways than one. First, he feels powerful and alive, but the truth from a spiritual standpoint is that this is the most opportune moment to see himself clearly and to make the change from a fear- to love-based relationship. Typically, someone committed to the Sociopathic Style does not see his own destructive patterns, which usually emerge within the first 3-6 months of an intimate relationship.
The degree of narcissism in the victim determines how easily she can see the manipulation. If red flags are going up everywhere and she ignores them, then there is a high level of narcissism running in her as well, and she herself is operating in the Sociopathic Style and probably has for many years, attracting the same type of men again and again.
Until we find the "virus" that is running within our subconscious mind, we will continue to override our intuition and sacrifice our happiness for something our ego sees in that person. Although our intuition tells us that there is something wrong, we give in to our ego-based belief system that this person is healing us emotionally, psychologically, financially and/or spiritually. The truth is that no one can do this for us; they can only enhance what is already present in us and if it's a high level of narcissism, then that will be exacerbated and we will get pulled out of integrity. If we are centered, stable and healthy, we are much less likely to get involved or stay in the sociopathic dynamics.

How did you become involved in this work?
It's a long and interesting story how I became involved in this work. To be as brief as possible, it began with my family of origin and later escalated during the breakup of my marriage, at the age of 40, when I finally sought therapy for the fist time. I was told by my therapist that my ex-husband was probably a psychopath, so I searched the term online and found Dr. Hare's Psychopathy Checklist. Every trait applied to my ex- at the time, and I immediately began to suffer from PTSD. I found myself experiencing "The Dark Night of the Soul" and it was the beginning of a wonderful journey inward. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was in that dark place where I found immense healing and purpose in life. Today, my ex-husband and I are friends and we get along well. We've even worked on several projects together. He is a good ally to me and he is a wonderful father to our child.
What are some of the solutions?
What are some of the solutions?
- Being honest with oneself and others.
- Putting the fear-based ego to sleep.
- Making amends to those we have harmed.
- To treat others with love and compassion.
- Developing a closer relationship with the divine.
- To practice meditation and prayer on a daily basis.
- To forgive the past actions of others, knowing that people can and do change.
- And, if they can't or won't change to accept that without hating or judging them.
- Giving up trying to control another person in any way.
- Loving oneself enough to leave a harmful relationship.

Weaning Calves with Bossy
The day before my friend Bossy left, Marlboro Man had to wean some (very large) calves. Bossy's daughter wanted to ride, of course…but Bossy herself was a little unsure.
So Marlboro Man did what he always does when someone's unsure of whether or not they want to ride: He saddled her a horse and handed her the reins.
And gave her a lesson on what to do.
Just a mini-lesson, though. It was time to get going!
Bye, Bossy. I'll be in the feed truck with Cowboy Tim if you need me.
What? We ran out of horses. And I wouldn't want my dear guest to miss out.
I'm giving that way.
Plus, if I hadn't ridden along with Cowboy Tim, I wouldn't have been able to capture this shot of the sunrise in the little magnifying disc on his side-view mirror.
And I would have regretted that the rest of my life.
An hour later, we were all pulling into the pens with a bunch of pairs.
This was funny, though: while we were riding along in the feed truck, Cowboy Tim and I visited a bit. He told me about his shoulder (he just had surgery) and sipped his coffee (a huge travel cup of Mountain Dew) and I talked to him about the kids (when we'll be starting school) and the dogs (how they're taking over my life.) Then I told him how Bossy and I knew each other, that we both started blogging at about the same time and forged a special little friendship that has stood the test of time. Cowboy Tim mentioned how nice she seemed, then he turned to me and asked, "Is that a…is that a skirt she's wearing?"
The answer was yes, it was a skirt she was wearing. But it was a casual kind of skirt, almost like a tunic, and it was over black leggings, which looked so much more comfortable than the too-snug jeans I had stuffed myself into that morning. And I explained all this to Cowboy Tim, who immediately swung open the door of his feed truck and said, "I'm gonna go give her a hard time."
And that's exactly what he did.
"Hey, darlin'," Tim teased. "Is that a skirt you're wearing?"
Bossy smiled and laughed. Because she knows enough about cowboys to know that if they tease you…that means you're accepted.
In that respect, I'm the most exceedingly accepted individual that's ever walked this ranch.
"I fink it looks nice," my baby told her.
He's such a sweet little precious munchkin of a love-child.
It was so fun to get them together.
I can't seem to stay away from his face.

Gorgeous photos! The hubs and I are just getting into the cattle business! Having a blast learning!

Awesome pictures – I agree! I especially love the pre-dawn shots….and wonder what ungodly time it must have been! Best of luck in your cattle business.
Jen at Cabin Fever On Wednesday, August 17 at 4:46 pm
And gorgeous Bossy! I love her hair… oh so effortless yet perfect looking.
Suzy On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:08 am
Looks like a fun time!
NanaBread (Jeanne) On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:08 am
I think Bossy is beautiful.
And so is your baby boy.
And so are the girls.
And so is Old Yeller.
And so was that sunrise.
And so are you & ranch.
Thanks for sharing!
Sandy On Thursday, August 18 at 6:12 am
Agree to all of the beautifuls. Well said.
Danielle D. On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:09 am
" I fink it looks nice" too lol. He's such a cutie.
Johi On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:39 am
I agree- he is so precious that I want to chew on him (just a little). And he will be very popular with the ladies, throwing around compliments like that!
Jill On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:11 am
special friends always endure a little teasing Looks like you had a great visit… good luck with the start of school!
Lynn On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:11 am
Aw. I'd be kssin' on the horses, too.
Nancy~The Wife of a Dairyman On Wednesday, August 17 at 7:00 pm
Yep, I kiss my horse too…he's 22 this year:)
Rene Foust On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:12 am
Such beautiful pictures!!!! It is so great to make friends that matter!
Susan On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:13 am
@ last photo…there's nothing better than kissing the muzzle of a sweet horse! Brings back such great memories of our ranch in Waurika, OK…brought tears to my eyes. I'm one of those crazy people that just loves the smell of horses. Thanks for your site..it always makes my day!
Sarah On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:15 pm
And, I swear, as I was scrolling past Old Yeller, I caught just the faintest scent of horse and leather. I guess I'm crazy too.
txtigi On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:11 pm
Burying your face in their mane and smelling that sweet horse smell on their neck is my FAVORITE!!! Sarah I'm as crazy as you are cause I smelled it too!
KB On Thursday, August 18 at 7:43 am
Ohh… me too. It is the smell of the leather and creak of the saddles as the men would move off across our pastures, the cool crisp air that catches in your throat and nose. Hmm, I do miss that part of ranching.
Bev Weidner On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:13 am
Quit horsin' around!
SORRY. Had to.
I love the blue shots. AMAZING.

Ree you've out done yourself with magnetic photos this time around. I feel I've traveled back and forth to Oklahoma because of you.
Have a great rest of the week.
Rachael On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:18 am
That last photo reminded me that it's been much too long since I've kissed a horse's face. I will have to fix that.
Amber Star On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:21 am
Bossy looks so happy and relaxed, even on a horse and so does her daughter. I think your family has that effect on visitors.
Glee-ful On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:23 am
I love the blue shots – very romantic looking, even with no romance involved.
I miss snuggling on horses, have them blow in your ear and nibble your hair. Stormy was my best high school friend; he heard so many tales of teenage angst and never told a sole.
Glee-ful On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:33 pm
Oops – that should be soul not sole.

Ahhhh..lucky bossy. sometimes when I ride my horses i think it would be so cool to be able to saddle up and go out to do a job..like gather cattle. you have a perfect set up.
thanks for sharing it with the rest of us!!!!:)
anne On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:30 am
You got the statement "if they tease you, they like you"–so true! My husband was mortified the first time he set foot on the family farm of all the things that need to be done in a day's worth of time. He learned a few lessons the hard way but we tease him about it and we love him more every day! Great Sunrise pictures–I hardly ever seen sunrise anymore but sunsets are just as gorgeous!
Debbie On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:30 am
Howdy Ree!
Great post… LOVE Old Yeller's face … oh I can just smell him! Come by and see me sometime at Dandelion House. No need to knock, I'm probably out side shoveling cock a doodle doo!
Love your way with words and your photos… always!
Norma in Alabama On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:30 am
I linked to Bossy's blog from yours a while back and have really enjoyed it. She's got a lot of sass (which I love) and gorgeous curly hair. Thanks for the beautiful pics. It's always fun to get together with old friends.
Mary On Thursday, August 18 at 1:07 am
I started reading Bossy's blog many, many months ago through Ree's blog, too. I lovvvvveee Bossy! She is just a doll and I love her talent in writing. And yes, her hair is just how I woud love for mine to look like. I try and try to get it pinned up like she does and I can't ever do it! Got to be a trick to it!
corrie On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:35 am
The photos of Bossy on her horse… I haven't seen such a blissful smile on her face for many many months. Just beaming! Maybe it's the start of something new for her, this ranch gig!
Kelli G On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:38 am
Aw, one of the best smells on earth…. horse nose. It's right up there with puppy breath. I don't kiss my horses too often, but I sure smell 'em all the time!

Della On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:40 am
So enjoyed the post this morning. Lovely pictures!
Gayle On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:47 am
Well, I reckon riding,wearing a skirt and leggin's, while the pairs are gathered is a new fashion statement. Teasing??? Oh, Yeah!!!
rebecca On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:47 am
Totally off topic, but, do you know where Bossy got those bracelets? Love them!! (And I'm thinking that skirt on horseback thing might just be genius!:))
WebSavvyMom On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:48 am
–>I love Bossy. And Bossy's daughter. And you. And your daughters. And your sons. And MM. And Cowboy Josh. And – – the dogs.
And everybody.
The end.

I know what you mean about teasing being the ultimate sign of acceptance… I Iive with that too
Love the photos. Love that little honey of a wee guy you have. Delicious.
Candy On Tuesday, August 30 at 12:08 pm
I am not sure, but I have a bracelet that is similar and it's made by Fossil.
Heather On Wednesday, August 17 at 11:55 am
The picture of everyone saddled up as the sun gets ready to rise is awesome. Reminds me again of why I am so thankful for your family and the like. There is no way I could be out there that early. Though with all your pictures I am beginning to think I should. Im missing a lot.
I love the pic of your little one, he's face is so assuring that he thinks the skirt is fine. He's very determined

Christina in MN On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:05 pm
I also would like to know about the bracelets.
Erin On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:17 pm
I love walking onto the ranch where I keep my horse only to be given a REALLY hard time about everything by the cowboys on the ranch. No truer sentiment out there, cowboys tease because they love. Beautiful pictures. I love peeking into life on the ranch!
Natalie On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:17 pm
Tunic and leggings is the perfect outfit for all occasions! (Well, of course, not childbirth or swimming- but otherwise) I am considering hoarding leggings against the day the fade from fashion and become difficult to find. They are especially excellent paired with Ariat Phat Baby boots. In an outfit like that, one can conquer the world!
EG On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:29 pm
Natalie – What are your favorite leggings? (and tunics, for that matter?)
Natalie On Wednesday, August 17 at 4:49 pm
I like the ones from JJill for capri length. For ankle length I buy whatever I can find in tall. My favorites are a tie-die pair I got at Macy's of all places.
Nathalie On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:19 pm
Every time I read these posts it makes me want to go ride. And that's a lot of wanting.
Crystal On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:22 pm

I agree with your son. I "fink" it looks nice too. She looks good in that outfit.
Marie M.C On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:40 pm
Wow. Your photos blow me away. You have green pastures? Wow. Just read the August 22 Time magazine article about the ghastly drought in Texas and Oklahoma. So tragic. I can't figure out Bossy's outfit. It's 100 degrees F and she's wearing tights — and a skirt. Huh? Lastly, love Old Yeller's eyelashes. Want them. And want to plant a big kiss on him, too. Looks like he enjoys women's kisses.
Beki - TheRustedChain On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:42 pm
I can't say I'd be in a skirt, but I'd probably be in flip flops… because that's the kind of country girl I am.
Looks like you and Bossy had a great time!
Clayvessel On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:43 pm
I wanna ride!!
Cleome On Wednesday, August 17 at 12:48 pm

Darling Ree….Have loved your site from afar for ages….Now I'm up close to say Thank you for giving my girls the "ride" of their life….They told such detailed stories last night I could smell and feel everything. I was in heaven. Kisses to you and darling family all.

@Rachel – You haven't met Bossy's dog, Stella, have you?
@Bossy – This set of pics are most wonderful, especially seeing your full-on smile! It's gorgeous and you should spread that smile around more often!
@Ree – Your pics are absolutely wonderful! A picture is definitely worth a thousand words! Enjoyed hearing about, and seeing Bossy's visit!
Kate On Thursday, August 18 at 5:20 pm
So fun! I would've tried to steal Peso too…And I LOVE your bracelets! It's not like I want to go out and buy the same ones and totally copy you…but where did you get them?
Oh and they have seeing eye horses! They are tiny little ponies…but still. I think it could happen with Peso

I agree with everyone about the pictures and I will say that a woman or girl can ride a horse with a skirt on and do so good. that is how I used to do it and if I ever ride one again it will be a skirt. I use a bluejean skirt. and your oldest girl is really beautiful now, what will she be when she gets to be 18? how long is that,3 more years? enjoy your site. Vallyne
Donna C. On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:20 pm
your hubby sounds a lot like my hubby – when you aren't sure, saddle up. The world is set straight on the back of a horse – and at sunrise – it is magical.
ZDub On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:21 pm
Love that Bossy!
Cathey On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:24 pm
Awesome photos of what turned out to be a pretty special day, I'd say! LOVE the one of Bossy absently caressing the horses neck, almost as if she'd been riding horses all her life.
EG On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:26 pm
Great pictures!
Katie Smith On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:26 pm
I think your baby is the absolute sweetest child.
I"fink" I love him.
Margie On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:27 pm
I love the picture of your daughters and Bossy's. Your daughters are beautys. The older one looks just like you. Poor Marlboro Man when they start dating.
Katie @Pinke Post On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:29 pm
I love that blogger buds can become true friends! So fun that Bossy rode a horse…tunic and leggings and all.
Sarah B. On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:32 pm
I wouldn't know what to do if all the guys in my life didn't tease me to death! I love the photo of all the girls, too… so feminine yet so hard-working… awesome!
JustNanny On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:33 pm
What a heart warming post…….to see family…….friends…….workhands…….horses…..all blend in together to become one is just priceless. Now, I don't have a horse to kiss, but I do have our ole doggie Rusty, and he will do just fine. Here Rusty, Rusty………Peaceful Blessings! Nanny
Becky On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:33 pm
Wow, those pre dawn pics are beautiful. Thanks for being up that early! (not that you had a choice) All the pics are great.
Lindsay On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:34 pm
Beautiful photos! On an unrelated note, I wanted to let you know how disappointed I was when I went to set my pvr and discovered food network Canada isn't airing your new show. I think you should try to convince food network to show your Canadian friends a little love
Norine On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:39 pm
From here it does not appear that this is Bossy's first ride. You have to have a really skinny butt and thighs to use those roping saddles – everytime I see that high pommel I cringe. And I'd love to be kissing a sweet horse, or leaning my face against a recently curried neck, or…., or….
Tracee On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:42 pm
Thank you for sharing another wonderful day in paradise with us !
sullygirl On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:43 pm
I love the picture of the girls..your's in old comfortable, well loved and worked boots and Bossy's daughter in clean, shiny black, first time worn boots!
BTW…she looks like she was born on horse back after the hour ride.
Doreen On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:44 pm
Ree – I would love to know what kind of boots your daughters are wearing in the next to last picture, (while they're sitting on the truck bed) as I am looking for a pair of boots exactly like those and having a devil of a time finding them…
Karela On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:48 pm
Holy Cow Ree!!! Your baby suddenly looks like one of the big kids. His legs must have grown a foot since last summer. Pretty soon he'll be embarassed about getting kissed! It has been such a pleasure watching your kids grow up on the ranch. Vicarious joy!!!
Beckie On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:52 pm
Double or triple WOW for the pictures. Loved the post. Really enjoyed another "home on the range" post.
Linda On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:53 pm
Sweet pic of you and Old Yeller…is he a Palomino?? Lucky!! That's the horse I begged for my whole life!! Kiss him once for me! LOL!!
Theresa in Alberta On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:55 pm
Bossy looks like a natural on top of the horse. You are such a "good friend" to her

Franca Bollo On Wednesday, August 17 at 2:14 pm
You're so lucky to have Bossy the Great as a friend. And, just how tall is your lovely oldest daughter?
Susan B. On Wednesday, August 17 at 2:16 pm
Several points:
* Love the beautiful blue sky before sunrise
* and that was a beautiful sunrise
* Oh, to have Bossy's hair – the color, the curls, the ability to put it up and look wonderful
* And Bossy's sense of style – never would have thought about wearing leggings and a skirt
Jennifer C On Wednesday, August 17 at 2:24 pm
Love this post! We just had friends in town and while there were no horses involved we all tried new things and teased each other and our kids had a blast. Also. I love this post because just love that your friend rode in a skirt!
NomiJill On Wednesday, August 17 at 2:59 pm
Ree, I am rarely inspired to post on anyone's blog. Though I have been a huge fan of yours for years and find myself looking forward to catching up with your life almost every day (I met and married my own personal cowboy close to your neck of the woods…Ponca City), I simply MUST comment on the photos you posted this time. I was blown away! I always love your photography but I thought the silhouettes against the deep blue sky were paintings at first! They are just breathtaking and I just wanted to let you know you made my week happy by sharing them. Thank you. Amen.
karen On Wednesday, August 17 at 3:17 pm
awww Ree this post, like so many, makes my cheeks hurt from smilin' so much.
Alex On Wednesday, August 17 at 3:22 pm
And now can you talk about those beautiful dusk shots over in photography???
Joyce On Wednesday, August 17 at 3:35 pm
Judging by the boots the girls are wearing, it's easy to spot the REAL cowgirls!
tj On Wednesday, August 17 at 3:35 pm
…Whatta great pair of people. You & Bossy. Love. ;o)
…Also love the last photo of you lovin' on Old Yeller. There is nothing, and I do mean nothing that can top the smell of a horse and leather. I love it. Better than roses I tell ya. :o)
laura On Wednesday, August 17 at 4:01 pm
Oh, silly me, the city girl..I thought that was a sun SET at first…:)
Beautiful pics.
And I love Old Yeller even more because of his name.
country@heart On Wednesday, August 17 at 4:19 pm
Love girls who aren't afraid to get their boots dirty! Or, wear skirts while herding cattle! I think of the women wearing long skirts while travelling in covered wagons, during the heat and drought of summer…I would have fainted for sure! Love the pictures, thanks for sharing!
Rachel D. On Wednesday, August 17 at 4:43 pm
I swear 1 day before I die or hurt to much
I want to go out with Ree's crew
on the Ranch…
Noël Stout On Wednesday, August 17 at 4:57 pm
I love Ol' Yeller's pretty eyelashes! So sweet.
Missy D On Wednesday, August 17 at 6:08 pm
Your first blue picture looks like it could be on the cover of a western romance novel. You and MM should try to re-enact one like that, and give it to him for a present—Valentine's Day or his birthday, maybe?
Janet On Wednesday, August 17 at 6:36 pm
Hi Bossy!! I agree, Ree, so much more comfortable than jeans.
I love the last picture of you and Old Yeller. So sweet!!
Susan On Wednesday, August 17 at 6:38 pm
Amazing pix! Loved this post.
Tricia On Wednesday, August 17 at 6:48 pm
Good for Bossy, especially in leggings. I would have slid right out of the saddle and onto the ground. She is definitely a future equestrian!
rhett On Wednesday, August 17 at 7:33 pm
Awww I love Bossy, got her website from you, she is a character in a loving way, no wonder you love each other so much, yes I am saying you are a character too! Good job girls glad you took the chance Bossy!
Cindy On Wednesday, August 17 at 7:50 pm

Kathryn in Flower Mound On Wednesday, August 17 at 7:56 pm
I cannot believe how big your kids are gettin! Doesn't it just bring a tear to your eye when you see them leavin childhood behind!
Donna On Wednesday, August 17 at 8:01 pm
Dear Ree,
I hope it's ok that I call you Ree seeing as we have never met. I have spent the last 2+ weeks reading your blog from the beginning. I am up to Christmas 2009. I want to thank you for everything – the warmth, the humor, the laughs, the tears and the photos. Oh those photos. They, quite simply, touch my soul – yes, even the ones of the calf nuts and the prolapsed mama cow. Thank you for speaking to my heart.
Mama Donna
bbylaska On Wednesday, August 17 at 8:08 pm
I want to kiss that horse too! So, so sweet.
mom2amanda On Wednesday, August 17 at 8:39 pm
What a wonderful life…
Tracy B. On Wednesday, August 17 at 8:42 pm
How on earth did you ever get those beautiful shots in semi-darkness? Oh my gosh, they are beautiful. And 'Bossy' looks like she's been riding forever. Gotta love a new rider who knows to pat their mount in thanks for carrying them through the day.
And it does indeed seem as though your youngest is a sweet boy…and how nice is that?
Tracy B.
winnie On Wednesday, August 17 at 8:55 pm
great post. Also wanted to let you know I saw my first viewing of the ad for your show at about 9:50 tonight 8/17. Best of luck!
Trish On Wednesday, August 17 at 8:59 pm
Love the pic of Ree and Yeller! There is something magical about the smell of a horse and especially when they enjoy your kisses!
Amy@ Croquet & Cocktails On Wednesday, August 17 at 9:14 pm
Oh, the photos. Lovely. Absolutely crisp and perfect. I almost want to get up at dawn.
And yes, you would have regretted missing that shot forever. Except you probably would have captured an equally lovely and well composed shot from horseback.
Thanks for sharing!

Neighbourhoods on the net
The nature and impact of internet-based neighbourhood information systems
Distributed for Policy Press at the University of Bristol
56 pages
How a neighbourhood is viewed can affect the lives of those who live there and the attitudes and behaviour of others towards them. This report examines the increasing use and sophistication of Internet-Based Neighbourhood Information Systems (IBNIS), such as www.upmystreet.co.uk, and considers their potential impact on how neighbourhoods are viewed. Neighbourhoods on the net:· provides in-depth analysis of a number of IBNIS both in the UK and US;· considers their advantages and disadvantages;· reviews the research literature on IBNIS and compares and contrasts this with the perspectives of a number of key stakeholders involved in their development and use;· relates the emergence of IBNIS to broader discussions about the impact of the Internet on every day life, particularly in the context of the growing 'digital divide'; and· points towards a range of possible policy implications.The report is essential reading for those working on: urban and regeneration policy; the application of information and communication technologies to social policy issues; e-commerce; e-government; and social and public policy more generally.

Viewing bbc.co.uk Videos in Safari (wmv)?
Hi All
I'm using Flip4Mac and Safari, trying to watch streaming videos on bbc.co.uk (the news mainly).
Flip4Mac works fine on all the other sites I've tried this on, just not on the beeb.
I /really/ don't want to install Realplayer on my machine if I can at all help it.
Does anyone else get this problem?
Oh, and I can't stream the radio either.
Gah, am I going to have to bite the bullet and get Real Player?
For the BBC site the only way to watch the videos that I found so far was to (GULP) install Real player. I hate it too, but it right now seems the only way for the BBC at least.
It's no where near as bad on OSX as it is on Windows.
Actually Real Player for OS X is pretty nice compared to real player for Windows.
It's just a plain & simple application - no stealing file type association, no hidden background apps, no upgrade nags....
I think they must have contracted it out... :)
Yeah, Real Player isn't too bad on Mac OS X.

Grimsby Town v Alfreton: Managers have a selection dilemma to ponder
Posted: February 01, 2013|
GRIMSBY Town's bosses are yet to decide whether Andi Thanoj retains his place in the starting line-up for tomorrow's visit of Alfreton.
The youngster came into the side in place of Derek Niven for Tuesday's FA Trophy quarter-final triumph over Luton.
And after an excellent display in the middle of the park alongside captain Craig Disley, Paul Hurst admits he and Rob Scott have a big decision to make.
"Andi came through unscathed, although we did take him off as a precaution – he's had no side effects from that challenge," said the joint manager.

"Whether he stays in the side is a decision we're yet to make and one that will be under consideration.
"Derek was excellent at Cambridge. We were close to playing Andi in that game but when we got there – with the conditions and way Cambridge play – we felt it was better suited to Derek.
"With anyone that doesn't play tomorrow, it won't be because of performance. It will be more about keeping things fresh and shuffling the pack slightly.
"It is genuinely going to be a squad effort between now and the end of the season.
"There will be times when one or two aren't happy and aren't in the line-up, but it's for the good of the squad and the team, and they're all very much part of that."
Another example of that rotation policy saw right-back Sam Hatton rested on Tuesday evening.
Hurst says the former AFC Wimbledon man will be recalled tomorrow, and aiming to continue his record of not having lost with the Mariners in the league.
"Sam will be back after he was rested," confirmed Hurst. "Between Sam, Bradley Wood and Aswad Thomas, that's another area where we can look to keep things fresh.
"They've all done really well at various times, so that's a nice little headache for us."
On-loan Alfreton winger Louie Soares won't be able to line up against his parent club, while competition for the striking spots remains intense – especially after Lenell John-Lewis' arrival yesterday.
"Richard came on against Luton and that was the best we've seen of him in a Grimsby Town shirt," Hurst added.
"He was more like the Richard Brodie we know. He has still contributed at various times prior to that and he's only been here a couple of weeks.
"He's integrated well within the group and showed the other night what he can do.
"He's another one who is right in our thinking to potentially get into the side."

The Holiday Season: Tiempo to Relax
Thanksgiving is over and Black Friday is here! It's the beginning of the hectic Christmas holiday season. This is the time of the year when articles and reports on how to manage the stress of the holiday season pop up everywhere. Stress during a holiday season? I don't think so! In my world, Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the most relaxing tiempo of the year. I love to cook, but I do not cook for Thanksgiving. I love to buy gifts for friends and relatives, but I do not have to go shopping in the wee hours of Black Friday. I like to have a beautifully decorated home, but why do I have to bring a tree into my house (where there is not a single plant) and store tons of ornaments to hang on it? Sounds like a lot of pointless work to me. The only thing I do is send artsy, fancy holiday cards (bought at post-holiday season discount) to dear friends. Am I oppositional? Maybe, but I am delighted to know that as people are looking at their never-ending holiday things-to-do lists, mine only has one item: Play with Frida.

South Texas report: IceRays get new regional rival in Rio Grande Valley
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Corpus Christi IceRays will again have a regional rival.
The North American Hockey League announced Tuesday that the Wenatchee (Wash.) Wild will relocate to Hidalgo and become the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees for the 2013-14 season. The Bees will become the seventh member of the South Division.
Wenatchee lost the NAHL's Robertson Cup final to Amarillo on Monday. The Wild franchise was looking for a new home after an arena dispute in Wenatchee.
From 2003-10, the IceRays played against the Killer Bees in the Central Hockey League before moving to the NAHL. That Rio team suspended operations after the 2011-12 season. The team will play out of State Farm Arena in Hidalgo.
"It will be a tough task for us (on the ice) by adding Rio Grande Valley, but we will get the old rivalry back, which will be great for our fans," IceRays general manager Pat Dunn said.
"It also gives us a closer travel partner. We are looking forward to playing the Killer Bees next season. I also hope that their fans embrace the move to the NAHL as much as the fans in Corpus Christi did."

Sugar High: Strudel at Feasting Fox

Owners Tony and Kelli Almond, who also operate Almond's in Clayton, have put together a concise menu that offers few surprises aside from the brisket. Tacos are served in a hard corn or soft flour tortilla and topped with shredded cheese, lettuce and tomato. The available meats are brisket, ground beef and chicken. The brisket was fine, but the chicken tasted unseasoned — and I don't mean spices; I mean any seasoning whatsoever, including salt.
The same shortcoming bedeviled the meat that filled the pork tamales, but the masa was soft and sweet, and the tamales were topped with a tart, mildly spicy tomatillo salsa and a few slices of pickled jalapeño. The chicken inside an order of enchiladas had enough flavor to stand up to the cheese and "gravy" atop it. This gravy struck me as no more or less interesting as the red ranchero sauce that tops enchiladas at most area restaurants.
But like Chuy Arzola's before it, Latitude 26 isn't meant for those seeking to expand their palates. It's a comfort-food restaurant, a place for beers and chips and guac with friends. After all, it can't always be tacos al pastor.

4th Grade has started out so awesome! So far, I like that we got new math books.
What's great it that we get to write in them.
In 4th grade, the schedule is really different. We go to the science lab, where we get to do cool activities.
I am excited about Social Studies, too. We are learning about the Ice Age and the land bridge theory. I can't wait to learn more about this. I love social studies because I love learning about what happened back a long time ago.

BOX 1.2 Fish Is Fish
Fish Is Fish (Lionni, 1970) describes a fish who is keenly interested in learning about what happens on land, but the fish cannot explore land because it can only breathe in water. It befriends a tadpole who grows into a frog and eventually goes out onto the land. The frog returns to the pond a few weeks later and reports on what he has seen. The frog describes all kinds of things like birds, cows, and people. The book shows pictures of the fish's representations of each of these descriptions: each is a fish-like form that is slightly adapted to accommodate the frog's descriptions— people are imagined to be fish who walk on their tailfins, birds are fish with wings, cows are fish with udders. This tale illustrates both the creative opportunities and dangers inherent in the fact that people construct new knowledge based on their current knowledge.
addressed in order for them to change their beliefs (e.g., Confrey, 1990; Mestre, 1994; Minstrell, 1989; Redish, 1996).
A common misconception regarding "constructivist" theories of knowing (that existing knowledge is used to build new knowledge) is that teachers should never tell students anything directly but, instead, should always allow them to construct knowledge for themselves. This perspective confuses a theory of pedagogy (teaching) with a theory of knowing. Constructivists assume that all knowledge is constructed from previous knowledge, irrespective of how one is taught (e.g., Cobb, 1994) —even listening to a lecture involves active attempts to construct new knowledge. Fish Is Fish (Lionni, 1970) and attempts to teach children that the earth is round (Vosniadou and Brewer, 1989) show why simply providing lectures frequently does not work. Nevertheless, there are times, usually after people have first grappled with issues on their own, that "teaching by telling" can work extremely well (e.g., Schwartz and Bransford, 1998). However, teachers still need to pay attention to students' interpretations and provide guidance when necessary.
