Reading comprehension isn't instantaneous. It doesn't occur the moment a child learns to read. In fact, kindergarten through 3rd grade are the years children are learning to read. Fourth grade and up, students are reading to learn.
Not long ago, a teacher asked me this question: "What do I do with a student who can read very well but her comprehension level is 2-4 grades below her reading ability?
When asking this teacher more about this student, I determined that the student was missing several components needed for reading comprehension.
The first component necessary for reading comprehension is being able to decode a word.
The second component is being able to decode AN unfamiliar word effortlessly and quickly. This is called automaticity.
The third component is having a broad
background knowledge.
Background knowledge provides the student with enough information that she will be able to make inferences if needed.
Comprehension is hampered when reading is choppy with lots of starts and goes; and do overs. Meaning is often lost when the passage takes to long to read. So the fourth component is fluency. Using
decodable books
will help your child's reading fluency.
When children begin to read, they may not comprehend even the most simplest sentences. The fifth component of comprehension is being able to paraphrase. Paraphrasing is being able to retell what has just been read. Being able to paraphrase is a good indicator that comprehension is taking place.
Re-reading the passage for a context clue for an unfamiliar word is often used with struggling readers. However, this technique does not work.
In fact, it only serves to frustrate the student. Usually the student won't read it any faster or with any more comprehension than she did during the first reading.
When a student is having trouble reading a passage, using some proven
reading strategies
to help her understand the reading will of great benefit. These would include decoding any unfamiliar words, review meanings of unknown words and giving some background knowledge.
Once a student knows and masters several reading strategies, then reading becomes less of a chore and more fun. She may not become the fastest reader, but comprehending what she reads is more important than speed.
There are also some storytelling websites that can be subscribed to. One of my favorite sites is
Books from Oz.
This site has very colorful and engaging illustrations. The author reads the story and the listener can also read the words as the story is being read. There are six stories to date. There are also colorful letter rhymes.
These stories are designed for 3 to 8 year olds. Even though the younger children can't read the words yet and the 8 year olds won't be able to read all of the words, the exposure to the written words can be of great benefit to the struggling reader.
The author has developed activities that correspond with each book. The activities can be downloaded and printed. A library membership is only $50/year. This includes any downloads of future books from this author in the coming year.

Turned out the intruders were four boys on the prowl for snacks, including Francisco Anguiano, 13.
When conservatives suffer a political setback, they prowl the terrain like lions, looking for a few necks to bite.
"You have sexual predators that are on the prowl," she said.
Cooke describes Joplin as being "always on the prowl and vocal about it."
With all the thirtysomething women on the prowl —in chic sandals—Mumbai is starting to feel more like Sex and the City.
"Sure," agreed Sam, who liked nothing better than to prowl around in the dark.
They continued to prowl round the tent, hunger-mad and desperate.
"I should like to go and have a prowl around," Berrington said, after a pause.
"Let's prowl around and see what other Hallowe'eners are doing," proposed Dick.
Tommy told me that the Gherkins' mothers teach them to prowl when they are very young, and that they are always prowling.
late 14c., prollen, "move about in search of something," of unknown origin, with no known cognates. Spelling with -w- is from 1500s (cf. bowl), but pronounced "prôll" till late 18c. Meaning "go stealthily in search of prey" is first recorded 1580s. Related: Prowled; prowling. The noun, in on the prowl, is attested from 1803.
To search by running the hands over the person; frisk: prowled me over carefully with his left hand (1914+)

Lola (Grandmother) is a Filipino independent film about two grandmothers living in the slums of Malabon, Manila, who are trying to cope with the "loss" of their respective grandsons. Directed by Brillante "Dante" Mendoza, with a screenplay by Linda Casimiro, the film was the surprise pick at the 2009 Venice Film Festival as well as a winner in the 2009 Dubai International Film Festival.
The movie revolves around two grandmothers, Lola Sepa (Anita Linda) and Lola Puring (Rustica Carpio), who have to deal with a crime involving their two respective grandsons—Lola Sepa's grandson was killed by a cellphone snatcher, who turns out to be Lola Purings's grandson Mateo. The two grandmothers then have to deal with their losses in a very concrete manner: Lola Sepa pawns her pension card to find enough money not just for her grandson's burial but also for the case against Mateo, whom Lola Puring cannot bail out of jail also due to the lack of money. The two only come face-to-face inside the courtroom during Mateo's trial, where they would have to resolve the case to reach a favorable outcome for the two of them.
Audience Reception and Critical Acclaim
Coming on the heels of another of Mendoza's films, Kinatay (The Execution of P), the film was the surprise pick at the 2009 Venice Film Festival; Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera called the performance of the two lead actresses "extraordinary." It was also named as the top film in the Asia-Africa Category at the 2009 Dubai International Film Festival, and was invited to the 2009 International Thessaloniki Film Festival, and 2010 Fribourg International Film Festival.
Lola was also one of the nominees for the official film to represent the Philippines in the foreign-language category of the Oscars; however, the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) chose Soxy Topacio's Ded na si Lolo instead.
Locally, Lola is cited by Fidel Antonio Medel in a review on PEP.ph for veering away from the violence and sex that has characterized several of Mendoza's recent films such as Kinatay and Serbis. Yet, Medel writes, Mendoza's strength as a director is displayed in Lola for even without the violence and the sex, the film still delivers its powerful message to its audience.

Team rescues stranded hiker from cliff on North Ogden Divide
North Ogden • Emergency crews rescued a hiker Tuesday who said he had been stuck on a cliff near the North Ogden Divide trail since Sunday.
It took nearly four hours for Weber County Sheriff's Search and Rescue members to locate the 43-year-old hiker, who suffered a hurt ankle, and get him off the mountain using a technical rope rescue.
The sound of chain saws echoed through the ravine below as crews worked to clear a path to bring him out. The man appeared to be stuck on a granite outcropping that juts above the surrounding pine forest, but by 1:20 p.m., rescuers had hoisted him onto a stretcher and lowered him through the cascading foliage.
The man was off the mountain just after 2 p.m., and an ambulance transported him to McKay-Dee Hospital for medical treatment.
According to Weber County Sgt. Brandon Toll, the man said he began hiking near North Skyline Trail on Sunday. He went off the trail and became "cliffed out," he reportedly said, where he could not move up or down the craggy mountainside.
But Toll said the story "didn't add up." The man told rescuers that a friend dropped him off about 2 p.m. Sunday in Nordic Valley near Wolf Mountain Ski Resort a mere hour away on foot according to Toll. Also, the trail is popular, but no other hikers saw him, Toll said, and he was never reported missing.
"He was not prepared for a multi-day hike," Toll added. "He isn't making a lot of sense at this point. He claims he was supposed to be picked up."
Toll went on to say that the man's story may have had discrepancies because he was suffering from hunger and dehydration.
The spot where the man became stranded was visible from the road and, as the crow flies, only about 150 yards away. During the rescue operation passersby could hear crews shouting orders from the cliffs.
Toll added that the man was wearing a tank top and shorts, and said the temperatures had dipped into the 40's over the last two nights.
Search and rescue worker Brandon Woods said he believed the man was actually stranded for two nights. "[He] just got off the trail and got disoriented."
The hiker's sister has been contacted as authorities try to piece together and verify the man's story.
The trail head is located at the top of North Ogden Divide Canyon Road, near 3100 North.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, the North Ogden Divide trail is 11.4 miles long, and climbs to the summit of Ben Lomond Peak, then continues along a ridge to Willard Peak.

The Isys TPS-6X Wireless Touchpanel delivers high-end style and performance in a very versatile, ergonomic design. With its sleek and innovative desktop docking station, the TPS-6X goes effortlessly from wired tabletop use to fully wireless handheld operation. The TPS-6X brings a new level of wireless versatility to the Isys family of touchpanels with Extended Range 2-way RF and 1-way IR wireless capabilities built in, affording a choice of wireless platforms to suit the environment[1].
Compact and portable, the TPS-6X does away with piles of remotes and cryptic control panels, affording true "one-touch" control over a broad range of complex devices and systems. Featuring a bright, beautiful, high-contrast color touchscreen, and a smart array of backlit tactile pushbuttons[2], the TPS-6X offers an ideal user-interface for controlling home theater and multimedia presentation, and a host of other uses.
Isys™ Color Touchscreen
The TPS-6X provides a wide open canvas for the creation of custom control screens tailored to each unique application. Its brilliant 5.7" active-matrix display and powerful Isys engine combine to produce stunning 16-bit color graphics with extreme versatility and lightning-fast performance. Dynamic graphics and text capability enable the display of all kinds of useful data and alluring eye candy—from audio settings, TV channels, and lighting levels—to changing icons, photos, and logos—to digital media playlists complete with album cover art.
Crestron exclusive DNav and Synapse™ technologies enable system programmers to produce amazing graphics faster and easier using advanced dynamic control menus and 3D effects. Additional capabilities like animations, multimode objects, PNG translucency, and full-motion video[3] enhance the palette for creating GUIs that are both eye-catching and easy to use.
Tactile Pushbuttons
In addition to its touchscreen, the TPS-6X features illuminated tactile pushbuttons for quick access to volume adjustment, channel selection, and on-screen menu navigation functions. Eight additional pushbuttons, elegantly trimmed by illuminated button dividers, flank the edges of the touchscreen to support additional programmable functions.
High-quality backlit laser-engraving lends a crisp, legible appearance to button text in both darkened and fully lit rooms[2]. The pushbuttons come pre-engraved with labeling suited to a typical home theater or multimedia presentation application. If needed, customized engraving can be attained simply using Crestron Engraver software[2]. A no-button front bezel is also included with the TPS-6X, which may be installed in place of the button bezel for a very clean appearance with no front panel pushbuttons.
Two additional "trigger" style buttons are positioned on top of the TPS-6X for easy control of the display brightness, sleep mode, and other programmable functions.
Extended Range RF Wireless
Crestron Extended Range 2.4 GHz RF technology affords exceptional wireless performance up to 200 feet indoors[4]using the CEN-HPRFGW Extended Range RF Wireless Gateway[5]. For even greater coverage, the TPS-6X supports roaming amongst up to 8 CEN-HPRFGW gateways. A range of selectable RF channels and power levels helps to maximize performance for both small and large facilities—from boardrooms, classrooms, and home theaters—to auditoriums and convention centers. High-speed bidirectional communication supports true feedback with dynamic graphics and text, affording the capabilities of a wired Isys touchpanel in a fully wireless portable package.
IR Wireless[1]
Built-in IR capability affords a wireless alternative that's immune to extremely noisy RF environments, and suitable for sensitive applications where RF may not be permitted. An operational range of up to 50 feet line-of-sight is possible using a C2N-IRGW-1G or C2N-IRGW-F IR Gateway[5], or CNXRMIRD IR Receiver[5].
TableTop Tilt Docking Station
Placing the touchpanel onto the TPS-6X-DS Docking Station[6] converts it to a stylish tilt touchpanel, providing wired communications and video capability while charging the touchpanel's internal battery. Both wired Ethernet and Cresnet® connectivity are available, so when the touchpanel is placed on the docking station, it can switch automatically from RF wireless to fully-wired operation if either Ethernet or Cresnet is connected. Without a wired connection present, the touchpanel will continue to operate wirelessly while it charges.
The TableTop Tilt Docking Station features a tiltable docking port, allowing the touchpanel to be tilted at any angle up to 45 degrees for optimal viewing and operation when docked. The angle can be freely adjusted, or locked down at a fixed angle. Strong magnets help guide the touchpanel onto the docking port and hold it in place, and a finger-operated latch can be engaged at any time to secure the touchpanel to the docking station. The touchpanel can even be attached to the docking station semi-permanently using a provided locking pin for a sleek, full-time tabletop touchpanel solution.
For applications that do not require the latch or locking pin features, a "no-lock" docking station (TPS-6XNL-DS[6]) is also offered.
Low-Profile Docking Option
As an alternative to the TableTop Tilt Docking Stations, a low-profile docking station (TPS-6X-DS-LP[6]) is also offered. The low-profile dock affords all the connectivity and charging capabilities of the tilt dock, but with a smaller footprint and lower stance that's perfect for certain countertops, side tables, and pull-out drawers.
Interface Module
For easy, versatile placement, each docking station features a single flexible cable exiting the rear of the docking station base. On the tilt models, this cable can be repositioned to exit the bottom for a very clean, cordless appearance. The 9 ft (2.75 m) cable extends to a compact Interface Module (TPS-6X-IMCW[6]), which may be mounted conveniently in a wall box, or attached to any flat surface or rack rail. The interface module provides all the wired connections for power, communications, and video.
Full-Motion Video[3]
When docked, the TPS-6X can display full-motion video, providing the ability to monitor a security camera, or preview a DVD or television channel, right on the touchscreen display. The video image is fully scalable for viewing in any sized window or full screen. The choice of balanced or unbalanced composite inputs allows compatibility with both conventional coaxial and Crestron Home® CAT5 Balanced AV distribution systems.[3]
On-Screen Keyboard/Mouse
On-screen keyboard and mouse capabilities enable the TPS-6X to provide full control of external network devices like the Crestron ADMS Intermedia Delivery System™ as well as computers running TouchPoint™ Virtual Mouse & Keyboard Software (VMK-WIN).

With the average home now consuming almost 40% more electricity than it did in 1990, and with costs rising every year, it is imperative that we look at ways to cut our heating costs.
One of the biggest ways to save money is by ensuring our homes are correctly insulated. By not having insulation in roofs or attics we can lose around 30% of our home's heat. We can also lose heat through our windows and walls, so check for any draughty areas and seal where possible. If double glazing is too expensive an outlay consider using special type of cling film available from most hardware stores. Make sure your water heater is inuslated with a thick jacket and line your curtains, preferably with thermal fabrics.
Installing a room thermostat can save you up to 15% on your home heating every year. Try turning down the thermostat half an hour before you are due to leave for work, as the house will take a while to cool down. Set the heating to switch off a short while before you go to bed so that the room will be warm whilst you are getting ready for bed but won't be on unnecessarily once you're snugly tucked up. We don't need to have a warm bedroom, but if you do feel too cold why not invest in a few hot water bottles, and a pair of bed socks to keep your toes toasty? Always use the right tog duvet for the time of year, or consider buying all season quilts that can be joined together for extra warmth.
According to the Commission for Energy Regulation one of the best ways of saving money is by switching energy suppliers for both heating and cooking. Our infographic has more great ideas to help cut your costs.

ABINGDON, Va. (September 11, 2013)--GM-Southwest Inc., which provided insurance to Virginia Tech students, and its CEO and former owner, John Paul Gutschlag, Sr., 73, of Aubrey, pleaded guilty to racketeering and money laundering Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Abingdon, Va.
Wire fraud, mail fraud and conspiracy charges included in a 57-count federal indictment were dropped in a plea agreement.
Gutschlag and the company admitted overstating claims by more than $1 million to boost profits.
The Frisco-based company is a third-party administrator of student health insurance.
Major insurance carriers provide coverage, but pay GMS a fee for collecting premiums and paying claims.
The indictment said that by overstating claims, GMS was able to charge higher premiums and discourage competitors from bidding to provide the service.

You don't always get what you pay for
The latest food scare–tainted peanut butter–reveals consumers still place too much trust in our current food safety system. It's the "halo effect," a new Hartman Group report reveals. Shoppers believe that if a food is labeled "natural" or "gourmet," it must be higher quality than lower-priced brands. In fact, premium products are often sourced from the same producers as the ordinary stuff. Hartman President and COO Laurie Demeritt says consumers say they're concerned about food safety when asked about it, but when shopping, they don't scrutinize the source of their food and assume it's safe. This echoes a recent study from Cornell University.

Big question: Hooray! Another squishy flick about kids predicting their own deaths. Do the producers of this overdone trilogy understand the concept of "final"?
Skip it: "Final Destination 3" is gleefully gooey: characters die in the most bizarre ways possible and the grieving process is treated as a needless distraction. The tense, uncomfortable laughter sparked by the first installment has melted into over-the-top, desensitized hilarity.
Catch it if: You're not worried about dying in a horrible, mid-loop roller coaster accident.
Bottom line: In theory, there's dumb fun in seeing how elaborate chain reactions can slice and dice these faceless teens. What was once inventive and ominous is now inevitable and repetitive, with deaths so gruesome and devoid of emotion they might as well happen to inanimate objects.
Bonus: If an usher in your theater trips on a hotdog, knocks over the projector, sets all the seats on fire and is impaled by a Butterfinger, it will be one of the more probable things you see during "Final Destination 3."

Directed by James Wong; written by Glen Morgan, Wong; photographed by Robert McLachlan; edited by Chris Willingham; production designed by Mark Freeborn; music by Shirley Walker; produced by Morgan, Craig Perry, Wong, Warren Zide.

Mid-day Extra: Presents might not be worth what you think
According to a new study, you may want to think twice before shelling out big bucks for the perfect holiday present.
With less than two weeks to go before Christmas, you might be interested in this new scientific research. Gift recipients, it turns out, are not interested in expensive gifts.
And they might not even care if a gift took a lot of thought. Those two factors apparently bring more joy to the giver than the recipient.
One of the researchers tells the New York Times to just listen to what people say they want. He also says, get this: re-gifting is OK.
In today's Mid-day Extra, we ask: why do we put so much effort into gifts during the holidays?
We chatted about the study with one of its researchers, Gabe Adams, who is now a professor at London Business School.

Tactics Talk: How did Manchester United win the tactical battle against City?
As Manchester derbies go, Sunday's match between City and United at the Etihad stadium was arguably the most significant in Premier League history. As Sir Alex Ferguson stated himself, the home side have gone from being the noisy neighbours to the ones screaming the city down after clinching their first title last season, but if there's anything United's legendary manager can do it is dealing with a new emerging rival. So, would we see a tight game between the table's top two, or would the obvious attacking talent of both teams come to the fore?
Here's why Manchester United came out on top in the tactical battle.
Roberto Mancini continued to rotate his team as Gael Clichy, Pablo Zabaleta and Matija Nastasic all came in from the cold at defence. The decision to play Mario Balotelli, although surprising, may have been a masterstroke as the Italian offers more of an aerial threat against a United defence which has struggled from set-pieces this season.
David De Gea returned in goals with Tom Cleverley and Antonio Valencia forcing their way in to a 4-4-1-1. Like in so many games before, Ferguson sent his team out with a clear system to press City in their own half and attempt to counter attack on any misplaced passes. The home team had plenty of them first-half as they dominated possession, yet could only make 68 per cent of their passes in the attacking third
Mancini doesn't yet have the same trust in his players that his opposition manager does. Where the Italian can't decide who is the man to complement Sergio Aguero up-front in big games, Ferguson normally always picks Valencia, Ashley Young and Michael Carrick in his attacking unit as well as Wayne Rooney who provides defensive responsibility to go along with the obvious offensive threat he's renowned for. The Englishmen is key to the adaptable United.
Taking his place between midfield and attack, the forward dropped in to occupy the space of Gareth Barry and Yaya Toure as well as making late runs forward to support Robin van Persie. He made just one pass in to the City box all afternoon, but, more importantly, limited City's sitting midfielders to just 51 passes between them in the first half.
That counter-attacking approach paid dividends when a Young-van Persie one-two gave Rooney the chance to trundle the opener past Joe Hart.
The right hand side of the pitch was the key action area. Carrick consistently switched the ball there to get Valencia and Rafael involved in the game.
A simple ball wide from Carrick allowed Valencia to run at Clichy who had the overlapping Rafael to think about too. Perhaps the one criticism of David Silva's game is his lack of defensive awareness and he was found wanting when Rooney ran off him to net United's second just 13 minutes later.
City had more possession and exactly the same amount of attempts on goal as the away side, but failed to find the threat which Rooney offered time and again. Samir Nasri made no impression, Yaya Toure was too deep to hurt and, despite Silva's best efforts to create, Balotelli may as well have stayed in the dressing room.
The loss of Vincent Kompany to injury on 21 minutes was a huge blow for City. The Belgian captain is arguably Mancini's best player – they've conceded just 11 goals in the 14 Premier League game's he's played in – and United looked galvanised after he went off.
The top managers and teams make decisive decisions to achieve decisive results and, at half-time, Ferguson left things as they were in the expectation his side would continue their first-half form.
Mancini's decision to substitute Balotelli for Carlos Tevez on 50 minutes was the turning point of the game. Immediately, Tevez won two headers against Rio Ferdinand and ran at the back four – the Argentine looked in the mood. This also allowed City to push Aguero higher up the park where he is arguably more threatening.
Toure's goal on the hour came as a result of Tevez' invention. Balotelli may have been included for his physical power, but the ingenuity of the miniature Argentine can't be ignored and Mancini is fortunate he brought him on when he did.
City had the bit between their teeth and the curse of the corner kick would come back to haunt United. A whipped cross from Tevez was cleared by van Persie, but Zabaleta took advantage of the free space on the edge of the box to hammer home an equaliser. Four minutes left; could City seal a memorable comeback?
The home fans had done everything to push their side on and a final goal came. It just wasn't for the team everyone expected.
Indecision from Clichy at the back allowed late substitute Danny Welbeck to rob the full-back and recycle the ball. Rafael was then fouled by Tevez and from the resulting free-kick, van Persie scored through a strike deflected off Nasri. The Frenchman must be held responsible as he hides behind the other two players in the wall leaving out just enough of his leg to deflect the ball and deceive Hart to win the game.
It may have been a superb team performance from United, but, again, they owe an awful lot to the under-appreciated and under-valued Rooney. Where Balotelli struggled on another afternoon battling his demons, United's playmaker was industrious, creative and effective in a man of the match display.
Mancini failed to inspire his attack; Ferguson left it up to Rooney and that ultimately won the match!Tagged in: football, Manchester City, manchester united, Premier League

Mac cracks 6% desktop share, iOS claims 53% real share
updated 03:45 pm EDT, Sat September 3, 2011
NetApplications August 2011 desktop, mobile share
Apple broke through a symbolic barrier at the start of September as a study of desktop market share from NetApplications revealed that it had broken through the six percent mark in desktop usage share for the first time. The Mac hit 6.03 percent in August and had gained nearly a full point over the course of one year. Although it had yet to dislodge Microsoft from its dominant spot, almost all the gain was at Windows' expense, as the OS dipped from nearly 94 percent last August to 92.9 percent.
The new results also represented the first time NetApplications could break out mobile usage on its own and revealed that Android had far less control of mobile device usage when non-phone hardware came into play. iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch players combined were in the majority at 53.04 percent where Android, even with a rapid gain, was just short of 16 percent. The iPhone would still be in front in total devices owned by itself, NetApplications said: 27.39 percent were iPhones, while 22.5 percent were iPads and 3.14 percent iPods.
Android 3 tablets combined had 0.46 percent.
BlackBerry traffic in this expanded view was just 3.33 percent, and Nokia's Symbian was at 6.21 percent. Microsoft was still distant but had some consolation in Windows Phone's share. Despite Gartner share data that showed Samsung's Bada on top, Windows Phone at 0.22 percent was still being used more than Bada, which rested at 0.07 points.
Browser results were more favorable to Google. On the desktop, Chrome hit an all-time high of 15.51 percent, up over a point, where Safari dipped to 4.64 percent. Microsoft again hit a new low at 55.31 percent. Again looking at mobile share for the first time, Safari's role as the stock mobile Safari browser on iOS gave it a virtually identical 53 percent command of the mobile space. Android's official browser had leapt up to 15.73 percent, but it was still significantly behind Opera Mini, whose cross-platform nature kept it at 20.77 percent .
As before, NetApplications results reflect current users and not total shipments. They still imply that Apple has considerably more control of the desktop and mobile spaces than portrayed elsewhere, particularly in studies elsewhere that only cover smartphones. The iPad's majority lead in tablets and Google's near-complete absence in MP3 players have reduced Android's perceived impact.

Last month we shared herb recipes from Susan Eggleston, president of the Pennsylvania Herb and Garden Festival committee and owner of Sweet Annie Herbals, and promised more herb recipes this month.
The first two are from Denise Eckert, also a member of the festival committee and a Master Gardener, who grows and variety of vegetables and herbs and who has been glad to see the arrival of spring.
"I can't wait for homegrown tomatoes and fresh basil," she said.
The first recipe, for fresh tomato and basil bruschetta, is one I plan to try as soon as those homegrown tomatoes are available.
Fresh Tomato and Basil Bruschetta
4 to 5 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, at room temperature
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
6 to 8 fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
Cut tomatoes in half; remove and discard seeds. Coarsely chop tomatoes and place in a medium-sized bowl. Season tomatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add minced garlic and chopped basil; stir gently until combined. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then serve on top of toasted or grilled slices of French or Italian bread.
Italian Pasta Salad with Fresh Herbs
16 oz. package pasta (rotini, penne or bowtie), cooked al dente according to package instructions and drained well
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup chopped red onion
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup halved pepperoni slices
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend (Asiago, Parmesan and/or mozzarella)
To make dressing, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic and chopped herbs; season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl, combine cooked and drained pasta with peppers, onion, tomatoes, pepperoni and cheese. Pour dressing over pasta and toss to coat.

I used two of Eggleston's recipes last month and promised to share another this month, so here goes.
Lemon Rosemary Zucchini Bread
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 Tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 eggs
½ cup melted unsalted butter
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
3 cups grated zucchini
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two 4-by-9-inch loaf pans, either coating with butter or spraying with baking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and rosemary. Beat the eggs in a mixer until frothy. Beat in the sugar. Beat in the melted butter and olive oil. Stir in the lemon zest and grated zucchini.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, a third at a time, stirring after each incorporation.
Divide batter/dough into two loaf pans. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Test after 40 minutes. If you gently press down on the surface of the loaf, it should bounce back, and a bamboo skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven. Let cool for a few minutes and then remove the loaves from their pans to cool on a rack.

Spot on. I assume v1 is the adjusted version and it is very good. V2 is terribly flat. Are you getting your RAW conversions correct? Otherwise there is something very wrong when you shoot. Why do you use ISO800. High ISO is asking for flatter results but it is difficult to explain just how flat this is.
The original should be pretty close to correct needing just a bit of correction in such good lighting. It's OK understanding correction, but even better if you don't need to do much.
Nominating Constructive Critique
I'm assuming that you had left the camera set to ISO 800 after taking another shot in rather poorer light? I do that quite regularly... With a lower ISO you would still have got away with a considerably slower shutter speed, even at nearly 100mm, and the quality of the original would have been better, but you have coped well. I have a hit-and-miss record with the black and white droppers, when they work they really nail the contrast. Sometimes they don't for me though...
I like the randomness of this, a quirky little observation that makes good use of the lines of the building. There's what looks like the tail end of a dog disappearing out of frame on the right. A second or two earlier would have given you the complete animal, which would have been a nice finishing touch, as it is I think I'd clone that out. I'd also like to try cropping a bit off the left - here the lady is very close to being central without actually being exactly so, and that always looks a bit unbalanced. I'd like either central placement or well over to one side.
Nominating Constructive Critique
You could have come down on the ISO and used a larger aperture if you had wanted to, just to improve the overall quality, though it doesn't detract from a nicely observed scene. I added a mod to get rid of the blue material, and to tidy up a few intrusions. I think it helps isolate the figure and the doorway more easily. I also adjusted the contrast slightly too.
Otherwise, a good shot, IMHO.

Hi All,
Paul - I used ISO 800 a lot in India (unecessarily - now I know), hoping to avoid camera shake
Moira - I know what you mean about setting the b & w point - I've been practicing and got some bizarre results at times. Thanks for your mod - I like the square crop.

Dajani leads Skipjacks to season-opening victory
Chesapeake, 0-13 last year, scores four second-half goals to top AACC
ARNOLD Freshman midfielder Mohamad Dajani scored three goals and assisted on the fourth Tuesday afternoon as the Skipjacks used four second-half goals to beat Anne Arundel Community College, 4-2, and make a dramatic break with the program's rather bleak recent past.
"This is a darn-near historic win," said first-year head coach Mike Moulton, who took over a program that posted a 0-13 record last fall and has had only two winning seasons since 1993. "There were a lot of nerves in the first half, but we made some adjustments in the second half that paid off."
Dajani, a Cambridge-South Dorchester High graduate, broke a scoreless tie early in the second half with an unassisted goal and then set up Kyle Simpson's goal that gave the Skipjacks a 2-0 lead.
The Pioneers twice cut Chesapeake's lead to a single goal, but both times Dajani answered with scores to restore the Skipjacks' two-goal advantage.
Michael Turner also had an assist for the Skipjacks.
David Hickman, who shut out the Pioneers in the first half, and Jordan Durner each came up with four saves while playing a half in goal for the Skipjacks.
"David and Jordan both played well and our defense was really outstanding," said Moulton.
The Skipjacks are off until next Tuesday when they host Frederick Community College in the first of four straight home games.

November 25, 2015
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Zelda Rubinstein, the 4-foot-3-inch character
actor best known as Tangina, the psychic who tries to calm a family
inhabiting a haunted house in the 1982 horror film "Poltergeist,"
has died. She was 76.
Her agent, Eric Stevens, tells the Los Angeles Times that Rubinstein died Wednesday at a Los Angeles hospital. Stevens says she recently suffered a heart attack.
Rubinstein made her film debut in the 1981 comedy "Under the Rainbow" and went on to roles in "Sixteen Candles," "Southland Tales" and the TV show "Picket Fences." She returned for both "Poltergeist" sequels.
The Pittsburgh native also appeared as the mother figure in a high-profile mid-1980s AIDS public awareness campaign and was an
outspoken activist for the rights of little people.
