I have doing gluten free bakery for about 2 years and this was the first time I tried this flour (in muffins). I used 30% of teff flour mixed with sorghum and buckwheat. I have to say that the taste is a bit weird, it takes time to get used to it. Maybe it would taste better in combination with other flours or in bread.

Great product!
Not for us
Posted by 5598399106105531991 on May 29, 2014
With three coeliacs in our family, I thought this would be a welcome addition to our GF pantry. Alas, although the bread with added teff flour + the muffins came out great and were very tasty, two of us had a bad reaction (tummy trouble) each time we ate anything with teff flour. :/ I won't be buying it again.
Good seal

Packaged well with no apparent leaks. It is ground to the consistency as a regular flour would be. Works well when used as part of an all purpose flour mix to bake gluten free. I use the AP flour mix to make gluten free bread. Works great. As with all my ingredients I store in mason jars that has all the air removed to keep them clean and dry.
Excellent Teff Flour will purchase again.

Makes an awesome chocolate cake!!! ♥♥♥ Click on my username for more reviews!
Posted by gettingwell on Jul 10, 2013
This gluten free flour is full of healthy nutrients. It makes great chocolate cake, cookies and other baked goods that contain nuts. Soak flour prior to using it to cook with and it will take any crunchiness out of the grain that it may have; I soaked mine for a short time and didn't notice any crunchiness.

God nøttete smak.
Posted by TheHeArtsprout on Jun 27, 2013
Bruker dette melet som delvis erstatning for annet mel i brød/pannekaker osv. Også god i havregrynsgrøt - blir en tykk, kremete grøt som barna liker. Næringsrikt og godt. :)

Scores out of ten
I apologise if this has been done already but I thought it might be a good idea to share our thoughts about the books we are reading now. We could give a brief synopsis of the story, our thoughts on the book and a score out of ten. I have just this morning finished reading -
'The Confession' by John Grisham:
Donte Drumm is an innocent man who has spent nine years on death row for a murder he didn't commit. Travis Boyette is the real killer and is dying of a brain tumour, he decides to come forward at the last hour in order to save Donte from execution by lethal injection, but how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges and politicians that they are about to execute an innocent man.
Grisham explores the motivations of the characters that drive the story and considers how their actions lead to the conviction of an innocent man and how this injustice effects the lives of friends, family and the community in general. I found the book to be moving at times and the writing expressed a sense of urgency as time runs out for Donte Drumm.
This is the first book I've read by Grisham but i enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.
My score is 7/10.
Another review
I was hoping that other people would review the books they are currently reading as I am interested in what you kind of books you read and what you think of them. However, as no one has commented and I have now read another book and at the risk of boring the pants off everyone, I will write another. The book I finished last night was:
'Chart Throb' by Ben Elton
Chart Throb is a TV talent show based on X Factor where 95,000 hopeful singers are wittled down to 1 winner over a number of weeks. Calvin Simms is the powerful, rich and extremely manipulative Simon Cowell like figure who is the genius behind the show, and there are two other judges who are based on Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh. This year the Prince of Wales has entered the contest to try and increase his popularity and it's in Calvin's interest to make sure he wins!
I have read most if not all of Ben Eltons books now and although this isn't one of his best it is still a good read. Written in his usual cynical style the book is funny in places but also quite dark as there are so many similarities to X Factor that it makes you wonder if the contestants on X Factor are used as badly as in Chart Throb and whether their individual stories are really more important than whether they can actually sing.
My score is 6/10
Not that impressed
Hmm, well I went away and read "The Confession".
I've read other books by John Grisham and think his later work is not as good as his earlier books. They seem more like they're just being churned out to order.
Having said that, The Confession does seem to be a step back in the right direction although to a large degree the characters just seem like easy caricatures rather than real people.
Overall I think I'd give it a 5 out of 10.
One of the most outstanding books I've re-read recently is "The Quiet American" by Graham Greene.
The book tells the story of a British reporter, Fowler, covering the Vietnam war; his relation ship with Vietnamese woman, Phuong, and an American idealist, Pyle.
Like all his books Greene manages to set the scene and describe individuals and circumstances deceptively easily. I don't know how he can create empathy so readily. I would highly recommend it.
I think its been made into a film twicee but I've not seen the recent version.
9 out of 10
I'll add it to my reading list
Thanks for your comments JPCC, this was my first experience of Grisham and now i am thinking i should read some of his older stuff as you're not the first person to say he's not as good as he used to be.
Also i am compiling a reading list - some of it taken from best book type lists that i found on the internet, others from personal recommendation etc, as you've given The Quiet American such a good score I will definitely be adding that one.
Another one
After a traumatic morning at the dentist, I spent most of the rest of yesterday curled up on the sofa feeling sorry for myself, and reading. As this book is only 239 pages long I managed to finish it in a few hours.
'The Winter Ghosts' by Kate Mosse
It is 1928 and Freddie Watson is still devastated with grief with the loss of his older brother, who was killed some years earlier in the Great War. He takes a trip to the French Pyrenees and after crashing his car finds refuge in a small isolated village called Nulle. Whilst he is there he meets and falls in love with a strange but beautifully captivating woman. They spend the night talking and he tells her about the loss of his brother and she tells him of her own grief. Freddie feels that she is the only person who has ever understood his sadness. In the morning she is gone and Freddie discovers that nobody else saw her or knows of her. In his search to find Fabrissa; Freddie uncovers a mystery that is 700 years old, and in doing so learns how to cope with the loss of his brother and how to start to live again.
We are told the story in Freddie's own words as he relates it to a translator of manuscripts, it is heavily tinged with sadness and the loss of love is a strong theme that effects not only Freddie and Fabrissa but many of the lesser characters within the story. Mosse writes beautifully and manages to create an atmospheric and compelling story. I am now keen to read one of her longer books, 'Sepulchre' or 'Labyrinth', I'd be interested to know if anybody has read either of these and what you thought of them.
Finally - I know you shouldn't judge a book by this....but i really liked the cover!
My score is 8/10
Most recent book I read
'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins.
Admittedly I'm biased as I'm a devout Atheist but I defy anyone to read this book and still come up with a reasonable argument in favour of the existence of a supernatural, omnipresent and omnipotent God.
Dawkins doesn't try to be subtle or gentle in his approach so many religious types may not like the way he makes some of his points, but any Agnostics who read this will surely come away from it as Atheists.
I'd give it a 9/10, would have been a 10 but there are times when he does go on a bit and could easily have been more concise in several places.
Here's 8 more
I've just returned from a two week holiday in Portugal. As i had nothing to do but sit by the pool and read I got through 8 books. It would be too much to review them all so I will just give a score for each one:
'Labyrinth' by Kate Moss - 6/10
'Afterwards' by Rosamund Lupton - 8/10
'Dead Famous' by Ben Elton - 6/10
'Angeology' by Danielle Trussoni - 7/10
'Gridlock' by Ben Elton - 6/10
'Atomised' by Michel Houellebecq - 8/10
'They Thirst' by Robert McGammon - 7/10
'Sirens' by Eric Van Lustbader - 4/10
Patrick O'Brian
I don't read much these days (and it's not because I'm a dead-keen accountant, but because my son plays a lot of football); over the summer, however, I have re-read nearly all of my Aubrey and Maturin books by Patrick O'Brian.
It must be nearly 20 years since I read these and, whilst I had not forgotten that they are an exellent read, I had forgotten just how completely they can transport the reader to a milieu which is both very foreign to modern life yet at the same time almost strangely the same in many ways.
If by chance you've not come across these, they are set in Nelson's navy (think Hornblower and C S Forrester, only much much better). You'll obviously need to enjoy historical fiction to make these a worthwhile read (and a passing acquaintance with the wooden world wouldn't come amiss), but actually the action is almost the smaller and less important part of the books: they are at least as much about human relationships (sans any deep and meaningful Booker Prize stuff) and failings, history / geography lessons without realising it, and scene-setting in the most interesting sense of the term.
The books are a little repetitive and contradictory if read in one go as I've done recently, so I'd say 9 or 10/10 for the earlier books and 7 or 8/10 for the later ones. I shall nevertheless now be searching out the final couple which I've never read.
Can you hate a classic?
My latest book club read is Little Women. I am ashamed to say that I hate it! I think if i'd read it when i was twelve and into Enid Blyton i could have just about coped with it, but now it's just hard work. I've told people how i feel and the response i get is 'but its a classic', I know that!!! and thats why im still trying to get past chapter 2 after 3 weeks!
I think sometimes that people assume that a classic must be good. I've read penguin classics when they were a £1 and discovered such gems as: Far from a madding crowd, Adam Bede, Mayor of Casterbridge (are they all Thomas Hardy, can't remember) but also hated Frankenstein, Around the world in 80 days. Sometimes classics are so called just because they are old!
Went to book club feeling really guilty because I couldn't score a book I couldn't finish and found that the majority hated it also and hadn't bothered to finish it.
Has anyone here read this and liked it, can they inspire me to continue?
Needing help from Wellingborough
Yes it's very possible to hate a classic. A few years ago I bought 'The Old Curiosity Shop' and 'A Tale of Two Cities' from a bargain bucket. I read the former and thought it was awful and didn't read the latter for some months. When I eventually did I thought it was fantastic. It's all down to personal taste and the important thing to remember is that there is no right and wrong.
I thought the "Old Curiosity Shop" was ok, but it had a weak, sentimental ending. "A Tale of Two Cities" was much, much better.
I've recently been given a Kindle and even more recenly a copy of the New York Times "1001 Books To Read Before You Die" together with their 100 Top Best Sellers for 2010 and 2009, so I'm doing even more reading than normal.
So many books seem to start well and deteriorate. I 've recently finished "A Bend in the River" by V S Naipul and I'm currently reading "Last Night at Twisted River". Both of these started very well and then tailed off. Is it just that the author had a good idea for a story but couldn't keep up the enthusiasm??
Maybe the clue is in the title
Rivers do seem to start off well and gradually lose momentum and tail off, Maybe it's a metaphor lol.
Two brilliant books
Have recently read two books that definitely rate amongst the best I've read:
The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak - This book is narrated by Death and is the story of a little girl called Liesel and is set in 1939 Nazi Germany. Its about her relationships with her foster family, her friends and the jew they are hiding in the cellar, but to me I think the real theme of the book is about the power of words. Its a very powerful book and i would say its one of the best I've ever read - I have to give it 10/10.
The Help by Kathrynn Stockett - This is set in Jackson Mississippi 1962 and is about the relationships between the black domestic help and the white women they work for. One white woman who wants to become a writer decides to write a book about the black womans experiences, and its about the racism that existed at the time and the risks these women take to get their stories told. This book made me angry, sad and in places it made me laugh. I would definitely recommend it - 9/10.
Have read a few more but only feel compelled to tell you about these two.

Army engineers enhance EOD Soldiers' safety with 'batwings'
May 8, 2013
Story Highlights
- The RFAST-C's modified "batwing" design provides multiple tools for remote IED operations.
- "Having these capabilities in theater not only decreases the lead time to obtain the product but allows for easy manipulation to the item if needed."
- "Within 20 minutes of them being on-site, we had a quick, very rough prototype. Not very often does something get off the ground that quick."

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (May 8, 2013) -- U.S. Army engineers in Afghanistan recently designed and fabricated a tool to help Soldiers investigate possible improvised explosive devices from a safer distance.
Capt. Chad M. Juhlin, commander of the 53rd Ordnance Company (EOD), said his Soldiers needed an attachment for use with the iRobot 310-SUGV when searching for improvised explosive devices, known as IEDs. The iRobot's explosive ordnance disposal capabilities were limited, requiring Soldiers to operate close to the potential hazards.
The forward deployed engineering cell from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, or RDECOM, at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, took on the challenge.
The RDECOM Field Assistance in Science and Technology-Center, or RFAST-C, developed the first iteration of the "batwing" in January for Combined Joint Task Force Paladin. It is a collapsible hook that attaches to a telescoping pole for interrogating a site believed to contain explosives.
The same tools needed to be modified for attachment to robot arms.
Two engineers and two technicians adapted the RFAST-C's existing "batwing" command wire detection hook so it could be used with the EOD team's iRobot arm, and they delivered the products in two weeks.
"RFAST-C provides a great opportunity for Soldiers on the ground to submit a requirement on the battlefield that will eventually turn into a product," Juhlin said. "Having these capabilities in theater not only decreases the lead time to obtain the product but allows for easy manipulation to the item if needed."
The RFAST-C's modified "batwing" design provides multiple tools for remote IED operations, including a hook for grabbing or cutting command wire, a rake for breaking up soil, and a spade for moving and digging up items, said Mark Woolley, who led the project for RFAST-C. He is an electrical engineer with RDECOM's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center.
RFAST-C Director Mike Anthony said both the first-generation "batwing" for telescoping poles and the subsequent modification for robots have received positive feedback from Soldiers in the field.
The Joint IED Defeat Organization requested 670 original "batwings" for Special Operations Forces and EOD units worldwide. CJTF Paladin requested 50 iRobot "batwings," in addition to the 10 already delivered to the 53rd Ordnance Company.
Anthony said the partnership between the 53rd Ordnance Company and RFAST-C was made possible by Scott Heim, a mechanical engineer with RDECOM's Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center who is assigned to the Science and Technology Assistance Team at the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Afghanistan at Bagram Airfield.
Heim said one of his major duties is to help Soldiers with a technological need connect with the RFAST-C.
"This example is just one of many projects that have been successful with FAST entities collaborating with users and developing requirements in a collective environment," Heim said. "Working with the RFAST-C, we can provide rapid prototyping designs to facilitate an evaluation as to whether it meets the user's needs or if a couple of modifications are needed before production is started."
After analyzing the iRobot's capabilities, RFAST-C personnel cut, bent and welded a proof of concept in minutes to conduct a real-time test, Heim said. The prototype functioned well, but it also revealed some weaknesses and potential optimization features. The team made changes for a second version, which was then successfully manufactured.
Nick Merrill, a mechanical engineer with RDECOM's Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, assisted in the design of the iRobot "batwing." He said the collaboration with the Soldiers helped the team quickly develop a prototype.
"This project was unique in how we came up with the original prototype. Most projects, we sit down and brainstorm. For this one, they brought the robot in, we looked at it and how it grasps objects," Merrill said. "Within 20 minutes of them being on-site, we had a quick, very rough prototype. Not very often does something get off the ground that quick."

The Bethesda Big Train keeps rolling along.
The summer league team of college baseball players is on top of the 12-team Cal Ripken League, ranked No. 6 nationally and in position to win its fifth regular season championship in the nine-year history of the league.
So how does one team, with new players each summer and a short 40-game regular season, sustain such success?
We spoke to team President Adam Dantus about how the team has become one of the most consistent college summer league temas in the country:
BethesdaNow.com: What's the secret to the success of the team?
Dantus: Continuity. Coach Sal deserves all of the credit that the team is experiencing on the field year after year. He has been with us since the start and we just signed him to a 10-year contract extension. We have a loyal fan base that comes out and supports the team night after night which makes Povich Field a very tough atmosphere to play for an opposing team. It also helps to have such wonderful and committed ownership with BCC Baseball. Without the support of our community, none of this would be possible.
BethesdaNow.com: Do you guys pick which players you want? Or do the colleges set you up with players?
Dantus: At this point, Sal has the top college coaches across the country calling him year round asking him to take his players. Sal has built a winning culture in Bethesda and it's being recognized by the top college programs across the nation. Not only does he know how to put together winning teams, he is also a master of developing players. If you ask any of our former players that have made it to the big leagues, they say they wouldn't have been able to make it without Sal.
BethesdaNow.com: What about the reputation and level of play in the Ripken League? Could people one day think of it in the same category as the Cape Cod League or some of the other older leagues across the country?
Dantus: The caliber of talent in the Ripken League has certainly grown since its inception. Hunter Renfroe became the third Ripken League alum to be selected in the first round of the MLB Draft in the least three years. We've had players pass on offers to play in the Cape to return to Bethesda. As long as the owners stay committed towards putting together a winning product both on the field and in the community as well as investing and continuing to grow their fan following, I see no reason why we can't be placed in the same category as the Cape.
The Big Train returns to Shirley Povich Field at Cabin John Regional Park (10600 Westlake Dr.) today with a doubleheader starting at 5 p.m. against the D.C. Grays.

The National Park Service has said the fire was likely human caused, but that remains under investigation.

Freckleface Strawberry: The Musical
Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse
Friday, November 23, through Saturday, December 29
I imagine we all possess some physical feature that we're either embarrassed by or would love to see changed in some way. Personally, I've always been somewhat irritated with my biceps, which are so intimidatingly muscular that it's tough to squeeze my arms through the sleeves of a fitted T. Oh, and my stomach is really flat, which just makes my six-pack abs look all the more ... .
You know I can hear you laughing at me, right?
In any event, that desire to alter one's appearance is at the heart of the Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse's new family comedy Freckleface Strawberry: The Musical, running at the Rock Island dinner theatre November 23 through December 30. Directed by Kimberly Furness, Circa '21's latest is adapted from the New York Times bestselling children's book written by Julianne Moore, who reportedly spent her youth stuck with the unfortunate nickname of her title. Too bad that early childhood trauma wound up so completely stunting Moore's road to success, huh? (That is, aside from the Oscar nominations and Emmy wins and such ... .)
Freckleface Strawberry: The Musical concerns a spunky seven-year-old who'll do anything – from slathering on the pancake makeup to wearing a ski mask to school – to keep kids from commenting on her freckles and red hair, and who eventually learns about self-esteem through a group of adorably goofy schoolmates. With those schoolmates, in Circa '21's production, including familiar comic actors Don Denton, Brad Hauskins, Janos Horvath, and Tracy Pelzer-Timm, I'm guessing that Freckleface's self-esteem will be accompanied by plenty of laughter.
Plus, with the Huffington Post calling the musical "a high-energy and charming show" and CurtainUp magazine deeming it "a delightful confection," I'm also guessing that family audiences will eat up this particular Strawberry, even if the teasing moniker bestowed on its heroine isn't the worst one she could suffer through. It's not like she spent her childhood being called "Mickle Pickle" or anything ... .
Not that, you know, I know anyone who grew up with that nickname ... . It's certainly not me, if that's what you're thinking ... .
Man, I've got to learn to stop sharing so much in these things ... .
For more information and tickets to Freckleface Strawberry: The Musical, call (309)786-7733 extension 2 or visit Circa21.com.
Caroline Rhea
Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center
Saturday, November 24, 7:30 p.m.
Comedienne Caroline Rhea will bring her stand-up tour to the Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center on November 24, and you might recognize the frequent TV personality from being the original host of NBC's The Biggest Loser. Is anyone else thinking that, considering her career accomplishments to date, having Rhea host a show called The Biggest Loser is the complete opposite of truth in advertising?
Born and raised in Montreal, Rhea began her ascent to stardom at numerous comedy clubs in late-1980s New York City, gigs that eventually led to appearances on MTV's Half-Hour Comedy Hour, Comic Strip Live, and Caroline's Comedy Hour. After a move to Los Angeles, Rhea scored her first big break co-starring on the sitcom Pride & Joy opposite a pre-Entourage Jeremy Piven, and went on, with her role as Aunt Hilda on TV's Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, to amass a generation of young fans (a demographic she still entertains by voicing Phineas' mom, and other characters, on the Disney Channel series Phineas & Ferb).
Since the late 1990s, Rhea's credits have ranged from acting in the pilot episode of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm to hosting the Canadian series Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition, with her résumé chock-full of professional highlights that include roles on The Drew Carey Show and in the Andy Kaufman bio-pic Man on the Moon. And while the comedienne's stand-up set at the Bettendorf venue will allow local audiences to glean just how hilarious she is when performing live on stage, I can't be alone in wishing that Rhea had stayed a little longer with The Biggest Loser, considering the title that she came up with for a potential Hawaii-based spin-off. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a weekly reality-competition series called Come on I Wanna Weigh Ya?
Tickets to Caroline Rhea's standup set at the Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention center are $15 in advance and $25 at the door, and for more information, call (800)724-5825 or visit Bettendorf.IsleOfCapriCasinos.com.
It's a Wonderful Life: The Musical
Prospect Park Auditorium
Thursday, November 29, through Sunday, December 2
Quad City Music Guild will, from November 29 through December 2, be presenting It's a Wonderful Life: The Musical at Moline's Prospect Park Auditorium, and I'm here to tell you that the show is a consistently engaging, terrifically impressive adaptation that will likely beguile audiences of all ages. But don't take it from me. Take it from this review quote found on the musical's page at Playscripts.com: "The crowd may have attended the show already loving It's a Wonderful Life, but quickly enough, it was clear that what we were loving was this particular It's a Wonderful Life."
Well, look at that. The author of the quote was me. So I guess you can take my word for it.
Last produced by Music Guild in 2006, this stage version of the holiday classic features music by Dove Award-winning composer Bruce Greer and lyricist Keith Ferguson, and one of the production's many joys is that it doesn't feel at all like some quickie, take-the-money-and-run knock-off of a beloved film; the songs and script are so fantastically charming that Frank Capra's movie, during the show's performance, might not even come to mind.
For Music Guild's presentation, Deb Shippy will direct a cast that features such recognizable and admired local performers as Nathan Bates, Jennifer Sondgeroth, Greg Golz, and Cindy Ramos-Parmley, with nearly three dozen additional talents recruited to fill out the show's intimidatingly large ensemble. So ... how familiar are you with It's a Wonderful Life's supporting figures? Let's find out! Try matching the seven character names below with their correct job or relationship to George Bailey.

Helpful Tips on Appearing More Intelligent Than You Actually Are
On November 28, the Davenport venue The Redstone Room will host a special evening with the electronic, dubstep, and trip-hop musicians of EOTO, the Colorado-based touring outfit that performs some 200 engagements a year at clubs and festivals nationwide. EOTO's concerts, boasting widely lauded and experimental rhythms and sound layers, have inspired fans to get up and dance in 48 states over the past six years. But if you're in the mood to groove on Wednesday yet don't know much about the group you're planning to groove to, here are five helpful ways to enjoy EOTO's Davenport gig without feeling hopelessly out-of-touch.
1) Know the history of EOTO: Originating in 2006, this musical partnership was the brainchild of drummers Jason Hann and Michael Travis, who began their collaborative effort as a side project while traveling with their band the String Cheese Incident.
2) Know a bit about EOTO's sound: With each concert improvised on the spot, EOTO employs live drums, guitars, keyboards, and vocals that are subsequently mixed, remixed, and sampled using cutting-edge computer programs, resulting in a thrillingly unclassifiable experience that fuses rock, jazz, punk, sludge-metal, and jam-band stylings.
3) Know what critics say about EOTO: Glide magazine raves about Hann's and Travis' "especially potent soundscape" and their "Swiss-watch-exact chemistry," and describes the musicians as "two refined rhythm devils who finish each other's musical sentences and know when to complement, when to hang back, and when to cut loose, knowing the other will match him shot for shot."
4) Know how to pronounce EOTO: It's "EE-oh-toh."
5) Know how to use it in a sentence: Say, "There's a really kick-butt electronic-music duo playing Davenport this Wednesday, and EOTO go see 'em." Then walk away quickly, to avoid making eye contact with someone who thinks you're an idiot.
EOTO plays its area concert with opening sets by Jantsen and Ghost Science, and more information on the night is available by calling (563)326-1333 or visiting RiverMusicExperience.org.
Adler Theatre
December through February
You've read his sonnets, you've attended his plays, you've seen the film versions of his works set in Manhattan and Nazi Germany and really bitchy high schools ... . Prepare yourselves now for Shakespeare in Concert! Don't expect from this title, however, that the Bard himself is being exhumed for our entertainment. Instead, expect another sterling performance by the Quad City Symphony Orchestra, whose December 1 "Masterworks" concert – a celebration of the Bard showcasing highlights from Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream, Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet, and Verdi's Falstaff – kicks off the winter lineup at Davenport's Adler Theatre. (The concert will also be presented at Augustana College's Centennial Hall on December 2.) Before the chilly months end, the orchestra will return to the Adler (and, on February 10, Augustana) for its fourth "Masterworks" presentation of the 2012-13 season – a February 9 program, titled Valentine's Day, boasting the vocal stylings of the Five by Design ensemble and a repertoire including Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake waltz and selections from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. That tragic musical romance will also be staged at the Davenport venue in its entirety on February 18, when the Broadway at the Adler series hosts the touring production of West Side Story just four weeks after the series' presentation of another Tony Award-winning triumph: January 22's song-and-dance spectacular A Chorus Line. More professional dancing – plus gorgeous stagecraft and a Tchaikovsky score played by the talents of Orchestra Iowa – will be on hand in the Adler's December 8 and 9 stagings of Ballet Quad Cities' The Nutcracker. 2012's grand holiday fun will continue with December 15's fittingly titled Holiday Grande 2012, an Adler concert featuring piano wizard Jim McDonough & His Orchestra & Singers. And if you feel like celebrating the season less with song than with comedy, aerial majesty, and spectacular feats of physical prowess, you won't want to miss the Adler's December 2 offering, a night with the internationally-renowned artists, acrobats, and clowns of Cirque Dreams' Holidaze. Mmmm ... . Holida-a-aze. Maybe drizzled over Eggs Benedict. With a tall glass of grapefruit juice ... . You know, I should never write these things before breakfast ... . For more information on all of the events on the Adler's wintertime schedule, visit AdlerTheatre.com.
Hancher Auditorium
December and February
The wintertime lineup of artists in Hancher Auditorium's Visiting Artists Series concludes with the University of Iowa's February 21 through 23 residency with the hilarious, fiercely intelligent monologuist Mike Daisey, who has been described by Metro magazine thusly: "He's the History Channel, the best of public radio, and the most entertaining guy at the bar, but much, much better." Despite being a bit peeved that the author of that rave has obviously never seen me at a bar, I'll continue with this piece, but only because Hancher's winter schedule is so darned impressive. Preceding the Mabie Theatre engagement with Daisey, Hancher presents a Dailey, in the form of the Englert Theatre's February 16 performance by the duo of Dailey & Vincent, the International Bluegrass Music Association Award winners who are frequent favorites at the Grand Ole Opry and on A Prairie Home Companion. Continuing backward, the two nights before the Dailey & Vincent concert will be filled with the sweet sounds of the jazz saxophone, as the Iowa City venue The Mill hosts February 14 and 15 performances by Miguel Zenón, the Grammy Award nominee and Guggenheim Fellowship recipient whose output, according to All About Jazz, is "modern jazz at its very best." Hancher's busy month of February also finds room for February 6's Englert Theatre performance with the Grammy-winning chamber ensemble eighth blackbird, performing contemporary and classical works with a dynamic rock-band energy that led the Los Angeles Times to dub the group "a new breed of super-musicians." And if February just seems too long to wait for these terrifically promising Hancher Auditorium events, the venue does have one more 2012 offering on its docket: December 7's Riverside Casino & Golf Resort evening with jazz and R&B vocalist Dianne Reeves. The four-time Grammy winner will perform her holiday concert Christmas Time Is Here, and my guess is that Reeves' alternately soothing and explosive renditions of beloved seasonal standards will completely take your mind off the fact that Christmas is only two-and-a-half weeks away and you can't believe you're at a concert considering you haven't even begun your holiday shopping and card-writing ... . Or is that just gonna be me? For more information on Hancher Auditorium's wintertime schedule, visit http://www.Hancher.UIowa.edu.
Holiday Plays, Musicals, & Dance
November and December
Looking for ways to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas? How about with a different holiday-themed play, musical, or ballet for each one of those 12 days? (Granted, you'll have to see them before Christmas, and you can't see them over a dozen successive days, but why ruin a perfectly good intro?) While the Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse is currently housing its own presentation of the show, Galesburg's Orpheum Theatre will host December 12's touring production of Miracle on 34th Street, while two other musicals adapted from beloved holiday films hit area stages this season: Theatre Cedar Rapids' Meet Me in St. Louis (running November 23 through December 15), and Quad City Music Guild's It's a Wonderful Life: The Musical (November 29 through December 2). The timeless appeal of The Nutcracker will be on display in two separate area productions: one performed by Nolte Academy of Dance students at Iowa City's Englert Theatre (November 30 through December 2), and one performed, with Orchestra Iowa accompaniment, by Ballet Quad Cities' professional company at Cedar Rapids' Paramount Theatre (December 1 and 2) and Davenport's Adler Theatre (December 8 and 9). Holiday-themed sequels are on hand with Princeton's Festival 56 staging of the Greater Tuna follow-up A Tuna Christmas (December 7 through 22) and the Coralville Center for the Arts' Forever Plaid off-shoot Plaid Tidings (December 1 and 2), while a tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff gets into the holiday spirit in the Old Creamery Theatre's A Winnie-the-Pooh Christmas Tail (November 24 through December 15). The season is given a sardonic, hysterical spin when Iowa City's Riverside Theatre hosts actor Tim Budd's take on David Sedaris' Santaland Diaries (December 7 through 9), with big laughs also coming courtesy of the Young Footliters' The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (December 14 through 16). And holiday-minded audiences will no doubt race like the Dickens to catch the author's A Christmas Carol, a play version of which takes place at the Coralville Center for the Arts (December 14 through 23), and a musical version of which debuts at Rock Island's District Theatre (also December 14 through 23). So there's your 12-days-of-Christmas plan. Isn't that more fun than dealing with leaping lords and cleaning up bird poop? For more on this season's holiday-themed stage works, check out the Theatre section of our online events calendar.
Comedies and Dramas
November through February
Comedy. Drama. Romance. Intrigue. Sin. But enough about my dinner dates; these are also elements that are sure to be in abundance in our area's lineup of wintertime plays. Those looking for laughs, for instance, will have no problem finding them in the Old Creamery Theatre's one-man/35-character show Fully Committed (running November 29 through December 16), the Playcrafters Barn Theatre's supernatural farce Ghost of a Chance (January 11 through 20), and Riverside Theatre's existential comedy The Exit Interview (January 25 through February 17). Giggles mixed with family-friendly adventure are on tap in the Coralville Center for the Arts' take on Roald Dahl's Matilda (January 20) and Davenport Junior Theatre's adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island (February 16 through 24), while audience participation is mandatory in two dinner-and-a-killing farces by the It's a Mystery troupe at Skellington Manor: Fairway for Murder (December 7, January 11, and February 8), and Murder at the Moonshinapalooza (December 14, January 25, and February 15). Comedy and romance, meanwhile, blend in the Festival 56 presentation of Almost, Maine (November 23 through December 1), comedy and drama combine in New Ground Theatre's Pulitzer Prize winner Crimes of the Heart (February 1 through 10), and comedy and mythology – specifically, the Orpheus myth – merge in St. Ambrose University's production of Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice (February 22 through 24). Ancient Greek tragedy will come alive in Augustana College's The Bacchae (January 25 through February 3), with more modern dramas on hand in Dreamwell Theatre's The Trestle of Pope Lick Creek (February 8 through 16) and Theatre Cedar Rapids' The Summerland Project (January 11 through February 2). A jury room will vibrate with tension and intrigue in Iowa City Community Theatre's 12 Angry Men (January 25 through February 3), while the wages of sin, and dogmatic teaching, are explored in playwright Melissa McBain's District Theatre drama Altar Call (November 29 through December 9). And I'd close by mentioning that comedy, drama, romance, intrigue, and sin are all on the docket when four gifted actors and I perform Private Eyes at the QC Theatre Workshop (January 18 through February 3), but I'm hardly one for self-promotion. Once you've finished rolling your eyes, you can find more information on the area's winter plays by visiting the Theatre section of our online events calendar.
Musicals and Dance
November through February
If you're jonesing to hear a first-rate assemblage of talents belting out a spirited rendition of "One singular sensation ... !", you know what you need to see: the Adler Theatre's touring production of Michael Bennett's iconic dance musical A Chorus Line (January 22). But what if one singular sensation just won't do? What if you want a dozen-and-one singular sensations? Then you're in luck, folks, because that's the combined number of musicals and dance presentations scheduled for our area's wintertime stage lineup. The Adler will follow January's song-and-dance triumph with another classic in its Broadway at the Adler series – the timeless Bernstein/Sondheim collaboration West Side Story (February 18) – while a similarly legendary title, at Amana's Starlighters II Theatre, is presented in Rodgers & Hammerstein's The Sound of Music (November 30 through December 9). Audiences of all ages can also enjoy the Biblical-musical energy of the Ohward Fine Arts Center's Godspell (February 15 through 17) and the comic-strip charm of Iowa City Community Theatre's Annie (December 7 through 16), with kids the target demographic for two quickly upcoming shows: the Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse's Freckleface Strawberry: The Musical (November 23 through December 30), and St. Ambrose University's take on Alice in Wonderland (December 1 and 2). More mature – or at least older – audiences can look forward to the District Theatre's re-staging of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Rent (January 31 through February 24), the Center for Living Arts' rock musical Bare: A Pop Opera (February 1 through 16), and Theatre Cedar Rapids' ultra-meta Tony Award nominee [title of show] (February 15 through March 9). Ballet Quad Cities serves up the latest incarnation of its annual dance-vignette delight Love Stories (February 16). A beloved country-music superstar is showcased in the eagerly awaited return of Circa 21's Hank Williams: Lost Highway (January 9 through March 9). And the Coralville Center for the Arts wraps up our look at this tune-filled winter with a clever and hilarious Tony winner with the adorable moniker Urinetown (February 1 through 10). Can't imagine why that title hasn't made the dinner-theatre rounds yet. For more on our area's wintertime lineup of musicals and dance performances, visit the Theatre section of our online events calendar.

May 6, 2016
The impasse between doctors and the state that has effectively put executions on hold in North Carolina may be headed to court.
That's because the state Attorney General's Office and the North Carolina Medical Board failed yesterday to agree on the role doctors can play in executions.
State prosecutors met with the board's staff to try and resolve the dispute but made no progress.
A spokeswoman for state Attorney General Roy Cooper says the issue likely will end up in court, but no hearing has been scheduled.
Last April, a federal judge said an execution could proceed only if a doctor monitored the inmate to prevent pain. In January, the medical board approved an ethics policy that threatened to punish any doctor who takes part in an execution.
State law requires only that a doctor be present.
In attempting to resolve the conflict, the state changed its execution procedure, but created a legal morass that led Wake Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens to put several executions on hold.

Poomsae, or forms, are sets of ordered techniques designed to strengthen the students' grasp of application and movement of basic techniques learned in class. Each time a student performs any poomsae, he or she must
keep in mind that the form is an exercise in combat, in which he or she is fighting against one or more invisible opponents.
Constant and thoughtful practice of forms yields improvements in focus, strength, stamina, balance, and discipline. The World Tae Kwon Do Federation, of which
Yale Tae Kwon Do is a part, recognizes two major sets of eight forms each, the Taegeuk forms and the Palgwe forms, after which the student will learn specific black belt forms.
Both sets of eight are based on the the ancient work the Book of Changes, or "I Ching," in which eight
different combinations of Um Yang/Yin Yang are defined.

Cycling 8 Gallon New Tank
I have questions that found 10% Ammonia Hydroxide from ACE Hardware. Will it work for cycling the tank.
I have another question that I put some ammonia in my 8 gallon tank first time and my ammonia test was showing is more than 8 ppm. What should do next. Should I add more ammonia after 12 hrs or just make another ammonia test every 12 hrs and wait up to ammonia test become zero.
Please advice and give some tips
I am afraid 8 ppm ammonia, is to high for the tank to cycle.
Try a large water change to get ammonia at 4 ppm. Do not add any more ammonia till you see a drop in the ammonia level. Be patient, it will take a while.
Once ammonia starts dropping, then it is time to start adding ammonia daily. Be careful to not over do it, best to only raise it up to 3 ppm to be one the safe side. Anything over 5 ppm, will kill the cycle.
Once you can bump the ammonia up to 3 ppm and get a zero reading for ammonia and nitrites 12 hrs latter, the tank is cycled.
Then you will need to test for nitrates and do a large water change to lower the nitrates to a safe level before adding fish. My tanks, at the end of the cycle, a 75% water change brought the nitrates down to 20 ppm.
That was a brief description, so any questions, just ask.
My another question was that should I put first plants in my aquarium or should I put fish. which will be good ??
Just I finish 2 days after fillling my tank with water 4 ppm ammonia reading
I really very excited for my tank so sorry for any ignorant
dont add any fish yet cause your ammonia is still sky high, i would completely empty the tank then fill it up put in some water conditioner then let it run for ablut 2 days. then i would add one fish and just do weekly water changes and let nature take its course. it is much easyier than a fishless cycle. as far as your heater set it to around 76-78 degress F
Please do not add any fish for a while. Cycling without the aid of supplemental bacteria can take several weeks and the tank will not be safe for a while. Additionally, having high ammonia levels will not "kill" a cycle in and of itself (though it can still be problematic).
For more info, check out this link:
It will be fine to add plants now. If you are sticking with the ammonia / fishless cycle it will be a few weeks before the tank is ready for any fish.
Turning the heater up into the high 80s will speed up the fishless cycle.

Need help identifying this fish ....
I need help identifying this fish. It is app. 3 1/4 " long (8.25 cm.) I can submit more photos if needed. I would really appreciate any help. I was just given this fish by a gentleman who was moving, and he didn't remember it's species.http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/492...HPIM1474_2.jpg
Looks like a killiefish called the "Golden Wonder", Aplocheilus lineatus.
Thanks for the help. I was pretty sure it was a killifish from the shape of its body and fin arrangement, but I couldn't find which species. After looking at the pics, there's no doubt you're correct. Thanks again !

Baker & Taylor
The poet recalls the anguish of her childhood in Arkansas and her adolescence in northern slums.
Random House, Inc.
Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou's debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide.
Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local "powhitetrash." At eight years old and back at her mother's side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age--and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors ("I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare") will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned.
Poetic and powerful,
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity."--James Baldwin
Random House, Inc.
Memoirist, novelist, poet, and dramatist, Maya Angelou is one of the best-loved writers of our time. She is widely acclaimed for her searing, inspiring writings--and she has been praised for confronting both the racial and sexual pressures on black women, and for infusing her work with a perspective on larger social and political movements, including civil rights. In the volumes of her bestselling personal story--one of the most remarkable narratives ever shared--Maya Angelou writes about the struggles and triumphs of her extraordinary life with candor, humor, poignancy, and grace. These include: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings The classic autobiography of her young years. Gather Together In My Name The coming-of-age story of her struggle for survival as a young unwed mother. Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas The saga of her show business career, her failed marriage, and her early motherhood. The Heart of a Woman The turbulent story of her emergence as a writer and a political activist. Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now Her exhilarating collection of wisdom, spirituality, and life lessons.

by Joe Brewer: environmental writer, cognitive scientist, co-founder of hivethrive blog, and agent for progressive social change
Wealth is about more than the size of your pocketbook. A better measure might be the size of your address book. Better still, the depth of bonds shared among the people listed there.
Our pop culture media is filled with imagery of wealth in the form of material stuff -- the latest gadgets, a slick new car, the mansion on the hill. Upon closer inspection, we can see that all this marketing carries another message:
Get all this stuff and people will like you.
The driving force behind our consumption culture is the need to be accepted and cared for. We don't live in a "you're on your own" world -- the people around us matter a great deal.
The power of social connections can be seen in a recent study about people who have quit smoking. Recently, an article in the New York Times reported that smokers quit in clusters. It is not a solitary effort.
Smokers tend to quit in groups, the study finds, which means smoking cessation programs should work best if they focus on groups rather than individuals. It also means that people may help many more than just themselves by quitting: quitting can have a ripple effect prompting an entire social network to break the habit.This is the kind of phenomenon that causes social activists to perk up and pay attention. Simply changing one person's behavior doesn't get very far. But ripples… now that might transform the entire system. One of the researchers, James Fowler, commented on the social nature of the ripple:
As cluster after cluster of smokers disappeared, those that remained were pushed to the margins of society, isolated, with fewer friends, fewer social connections. "Smokers used to be the center of the party," Dr. Fowler said, "but now they've become wallflowers."Herein lies a clue for community entrepreneurs. We can create a healthy food system and get off the commodity crop treadmill. We can build energy systems in harmony with nature and kick fossil fuels to the curb. But we can't do it without addressing the web of relationships among people in our communities. The technologies that save the day may look more like Facebook and MySpace than hydrogen fuel cells and mutant algae (a "biofuel" under development that could be very bad indeed if ever it finds its way to the sea).
The conceptual shift is from direct to systemic causation. Simply thinking that Technofix A causes Societal Solution B is grossly inadequate. Instead, we need to think about the patterns and flows of human interaction. This can be seen with hydrogen fuel cells. Even if they were to work (something I have serious doubts about as a trained physicist and material scientist), we would still have the same transportation system. Our cities would still be clogged with cars. Our daily routines would be filled with long commutes from burb to city and back again. The system wouldn't change.
Alternatively, if we direct future city development toward "downtown hubs" where residences are built near railways and buses, people can walk to work, and the streets they walk upon are lined with local markets filled with local products… well that would be a different system. And the social consequences are readily apparent.
Another researcher, Duncan Watts of Yahoo! research, articulates the point clearly:
"We tend to think of individuals as atomized units, and we think of policies as good or bad for individuals," Dr. Watts said. "This reminds us that we are all connected to each other, and when we do something to one person, there are spillover effects."The need for new ways of thinking should be clear. Luckily, there are plenty of creative people out there leading the way. These researchers, whether they think of themselves this way or not, are entrepreneurs. Their work is likely to shift the focus of behavioral research away from the individual and toward the community. Shifting focus means shifting funding. Systemic causation again!
Kicking our oil addiction requires a similar shift in focus. We cannot pick on the individual actors - no matter how egregious actions from the ExxonMobils of the world happen to be - and expect to change the system. Instead, we must look for clusters of activity and find leverage points.
I am confident that the progressive community will find a way. Every new experience of success and insight only encourages me to do more. After all, I'm not alone.
Neither are you.

text: New radioisotopes aim to improve cancer treatment Science 25 May 11 by Olivia Solon Flickr.com/pfala Radioactive isotopes (or radioisotopes) have been employed for cancer treatment for years, with radioactive iodine being used to treat tumours of the thyroid gland since the 1950s. However, the vast majority (90 percent) of radioisotopes used in medicine are used merely for diagnoses -- radioactive materials are injected into the body and then radiation-detecting cameras are used to build images of affected body parts or particular types of cells.Now a new wave of radiopharmaceuticals is being used to provide targeted cancer therapies that minimise damage to other, healthy cells. Radiopharmaceuticals are comprised of a bioconjugate -- a biological "bloodhound" that targets specific cells -- and a radioactive isotope that kills the cells. Researchers at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) have been working to create targeted, cancer-killing radioisotopes that can be attached to biological entities (the bioconjugates) that target specific cancer cells.Traditionally, surgery and radiation therapy are often enough to treat primary stage cancers and chemotherapy that tends to be used to treat cancer when it has metastasised.Ulli Köster, a researcher at ILL, explains: "If there is metastasis then you can't address it with surgery or radiation therapy. You have to make a systemic treatment. For a long time this has been chemotherapy."Chemotherapy doesn't specifically attack cancer -- it destroys many cells in the hope that healthy ones recover more quickly. It can be incredibly effective in some cancers, for example testicular, where it works on 95 percent of cases, but has an over all success rate of 5-15 percent.Köster explained: "If you have surgery and have a certain number of cancer cells, if you take it out then you have no cancer cells left. Or you use radiotherapy to irradiate those remaining cells. But chemotherapy on one cycle can push down the number by a few orders of magnitude, but then they multiply and eventually you can't repeat chemo for fear of damage to the healthy cells."Researchers in more targeted medicine take advantage of the particular makeup of the surface of cancer cells, which distinguish themselves from other cells with special receptors. These might be antigens or peptide receptors. A huge industry worth more than $10bn a year has emerged around trying to identify suitable peptides or antibodies (both classified as bioconjugates) to target these receptors.But it's a tough task to find an antibody that not only targets the cancer but also has a therapeutic action, either killing it or stopping it from multiplying. Köster explains: "It's a very special agent that can not only find the bad guy but also kill him, it's a kind of 007."While many antibodies and peptides (markers) are capable of finding the cancer cells, not many are capable of killing them. But with radiopharmaceuticals, you separate the tasks of finding and killing the cancer. One would need to discover a marker that locates the cancer and then combine it with a radioisotope to kill it. This new type of therapy means that you can check that the patient has the specific type of cancer cell that will respond to the treatment before pumping them with radioactive drugs. You would need to send in a bioconjugate filled with just an imaging isotope first to check that it's targeting the correct cells. Once this is ascertained, you can put the therapy isotope into the bioconjugate. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

OK... so what advise do you want
Trachelospermum jasminoides or star jasmin is evergreen, white flowers, smells wonderful. This article says it may need winter protection but mine survived -17° and snow last year. The leaves went a bit brown and a lot fell off, but by summer they'd all grown again and it hasn't lost any this winter.
There is also clematis armandii and hydrangea petiolaris, which are quite vigourous. Is it in sun or shade?
The white summer jasmine suggested by Budy Lizzie is wonderful - and you could grow some clematis through it - what about a pink Duchess of Albany http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/clematis-duchess-of-albany/classid.918/
and a purple c. viticella etoile violette http://www.sarahraven.com/shop/clematis-viticella-etoile-violette.html . The fact that they're not evergreen would be hidden by the leaves of the jasmine.

Inmates perform in first Battle of the Bands competition at Marion Prison.
MARION -- Each year the North Central Correctional Complex in Marion, Ohio holds a reentry fair for inmates soon to be released from prison. It's a chance for them to connect with outside resources that will help them get their lives back on track. This year the event had a little twist. It included N.C.C.Cs first ever Battle of the Bands with prisoner musicians and Channel 3's Monica Robins, a musician herself, was asked to be judge and jury.
VOTE: Prison battle of the bands
Nine bands performed, many of whom had only been practicing for a few days or weeks. They had creative names, such as 'Contraband,' 'Mean Jeremy,' and 'Dooms Day.'
In order to participate, inmates must exhibit good behavior it also required them to work together to make some amazing music.
"It's what I live for and it's what I do on the street and I've made an honest living doing it and I'm just so grateful to have an institution that provides me with the opportunity to keep playing," says Russell Schwartz, the lead singer of 'Mean Jeremy.'
Playing is a privilege and according to the Warden, music really does soothe savage behavior.
"When the offenders have a positive way to put their energy than the result is positive and when they see the avenues available to them to use their talents they then take that outside to the yard and they're positive on the yard," Warden Neil Turner says.
Rick Walker played lead guitar in four of the nine bands and also organized some of the inmates musically.
"It's the gift that God gave me and when I take my music out I'm teaching it, I'm not playing for me." Walker says.
For him and others, it's a form of escape.
"When I'm playing my music I'm playing for my maker and I'm not thinking about being here," Walker says.
After all nine bands performed, Monica and her co-judges, prison guards, had come to a decision. They chose the band, 'Escape From The Tragic' for its original music and sound not yet heard outside these walls. Songs created by the life experiences of singer, Braden Spivey.
"Anytime that you get an opportunity to do something positive it's a great feeling and a lot of us need that because we don't get a lot of opportunities to really express ourselves," Spivey says.

A close call for a homeowner who finds an armed intruder in his home overnight and was nearly shot, had it not been for a malfunction.
Police say they were called to the 4300 block of Fountain Springs Grove at 3:14 a.m. on a report of a burglary in-progress. En route to the call, police were notified that a homeowner found a armed intruder inside his home and was actively fighting with the intruder.
Police say the intruder was armed with a gun and tried to fire it at the homeowner but it malfunctioned. The homeowner was able to then hit the intruder with a baseball bat, disarming him.
When officers arrived, the suspect was arrested and taken to the hospital for a head injury. The homeowner was not injured.
Police say they're not releasing the identity of the suspect because the investigation is ongoing. He's being charged with attempted murder.

Different areas of the world have varying amounts of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources available. These resources may be utilized in many ways based on human needs. Obtaining and utilizing these resources will have a direct affect on the quality of the environment in a given area.
Day 5: Planting
Students will evaluate available resources in order to create and maintain a native species environment.
- Soil and water testing results
- Native Plant list
- Gardening Equipment: Gloves, shovels, hoes, etcEngag
Engagement: Students should observe the changes that have occurred in their courtyard ecosystem since the native species have been removed.
Exploration: Students should review the plot results (soil and water nutrient levels) in order to determine what vegetation will thrive in this ecosystem. Students should consider the interactions that will occur between organisms and how they will compete for resources.
Explanation: Students will develop a management plan using a set of guidelines and present a detailed plot for planting native species in the garden. In some situations there may be certain non-native species that cannot be removed (i.e. full grown trees). However, the plot should include only native herbaceous plants and shrubs.
Extension: Students will plant the native species they have chosen and plotted.
Evaluation: Students must maintain the native environment they have created. Weeds and any invasive species must be constantly removed from the environment. This evaluation will continue infinitely, as this ecosystem is man-made and will require constant monitoring in order to preserve a native species environment.
