Urban Research 2014 Open Call for Submissions Urban Research is a special film program during the Berlin International Directors Lounge concerned with urban themes curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr. For years the urban landscape has been under rapid change. Due to the increased economic pressure and shift towards mono-functional uses of the city, public space more and more vanishes. The newly awakened interest in old city centers, which is a rather positive development, has also created new demands in conjunction with the deregulations of national and municipal city tasks: the city has mainly become an object for real estate investment. On the other hand, new waves for urban movements towards a democratic renewal have appeared. It may be surprising that in this field of creative expression, experimental film has found a renaissance, often in conjunction with analog methods. Also a diversity of documentary forms have arisen anew. Creative film nowadays uses a multitude of traditions mixing and recombining the white-cube gallery art, classical avant-garde, classic cinema and the tube, performance and new media, happening and radical activism. Concerning creative production and critical discussions, there seems to have been an increased interest in public space and urban themes. In addition the classical "theatre screening" seems to meet a new interest. Artists working in a diversity of fields have discovered again the "single channel" format as an easy way for presentation and discussing work on international platforms without the complications and the distribution costs of extended installations. Urban Research 2014 will be first presented at the Berlin International Directors Lounge 6–16 February 2014. The program has also been presented internationally in screenings in London, Mannheim, Hannover, Poznan, Freiburg, Essen, Dordrecht, Senigallia, St. Petersburg and Berlin.

Unseen Lights And Shadows KLEX and FINDARS co-present: Experimental film screening and performance from Japan. Shinkan Tamaki from Japan will perform and present the screening programme in person! Film Screening: - Experience in Material No.51: DUBHOUSE (Kei Shichiri & Ryoji Suzuki, 16min, 2012)A documentary that focuses on an installation called "Experience in Material No.51: DUBHOUSE" by architect Ryoji SUZUKI at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo in 2010. Its original concept of capturing the darkness produced by architecture was dramatically altered by the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11th, 2011. SHICHIRI begins by filming both the light and shadows produced by the works on display, and embeds SUZUKI's drawings of the disaster-hit regions within them. Cinemas are architectural structures where darkness is inherent. Films that attempt to emerge from that darkness are a form of emitted light, and at the same time they could be seen as a type of prayer. This is a metafilm on the subject of light and darkness, as well as a response to a historical event. - A Child Goes Burying Dead Insects (Rei Hayama, 12min, 2009)A Child Goes Burying Dead Insects (Kodomo ga Mushi no Shigai wo Umeni Iku ) is the first film work by Rei Hayama. The repeated sequence of -one girl appears in the woods, buries dead insects and then leaves- was made without camera. With each duplicate repetition breaks the film images and fades its color. The girl in film was also performed by filmmaker herself. The film is structural but also has narrative. - Generator (Makino Takashi, 20min, 2012)The images reach realms beyond our comprehension as they transform and invite us into our own personal memories. Filled with uncertain yet overwhelmingly reminiscent images, the film opens up before our eyes. When the unfixed transformations of light eventually shift into aerial shots, images capable of mutual recognition, we are able to transcend 'the body' and 'personal recollections' into inter-personal memories that reach back into our ancestral imagination. We may be able to feel as living beings a part of our star for the first time if we recognize our 'body' as a small universe, realise our city as an enormous living body and ourselves as merely one cell. - Passages (Shinkan Tamaki, 12min, 2013) with live improvised music by Reflex Reactions (YONG Yandsen & KOK Siew Wai)The winds asked me to go on a journey.

Charles Dickens: Life And Adventures Of Martin Chuzzlewit31. Chapter Thirty-one (continued)The church had an inviting air of coolness. The old oak roof supported by cross-beams, the hoary walls, the marble tablets, and the cracked stone pavement, were refreshing to look at. There were leaves of ivy tapping gently at the opposite windows; and the sun poured in through only one; leaving the body of the church in tempting shade. But the most tempting spot of all, was one red- curtained and soft-cushioned pew, wherein the official dignitaries of the place (of whom Mr Pecksniff was the head and chief) enshrined themselves on Sundays. Mr Pecksniff's seat was in the corner; a remarkably comfortable corner; where his very large Prayer-Book was at that minute making the most of its quarto self upon the desk. He determined to go in and rest. He entered very softly; in part because it was a church; in part because his tread was always soft; in part because Tom played a solemn tune; in part because he thought he would surprise him when he stopped. Unbolting the door of the high pew of state, he glided in and shut it after him; then sitting in his usual place, and stretching out his legs upon the hassocks, he composed himself to listen to the music. It is an unaccountable circumstance that he should have felt drowsy there, where the force of association might surely have been enough to keep him wide awake; but he did. He had not been in the snug little corner five minutes before he began to nod. He had not recovered himself one minute before he began to nod again. In the very act of opening his eyes indolently, he nodded again. In the very act of shutting them, he nodded again. So he fell out of one nod into another until at last he ceased to nod at all, and was as fast as the church itself. He had a consciousness of the organ, long after he fell asleep, though as to its being an organ he had no more idea of that than he had of its being a bull. After a while he began to have at intervals the same dreamy impressions of voices; and awakening to an indolent curiosity upon the subject, opened his eyes. This is page 569 of 977.

If I wanted perform an arbitrary set of processes, how would I accomplish that? Is there a language agnostic way of describing this?
If you found the previous statement confusing, here is where I will try to explain.
- A variable of a specific data type gives access to one place holder.
int a;
- An array allows for a single entry point for a defined set of place holders.
int a[5];
- And a linked list allows for an arbitrary number of place holders limited to the amount of space available.
LinkedList a = new LinkedList;
If a function or sub procedure is like a variable in that a function is a single entry point for one set of procedures, what am I looking for that would allow for an arbitrary set of procedures to be performed from a single entry point.
My best guess at this point I would need a linked list of function pointers to cycle through?
Please treat the following as psuedo code:
int f(int x){
return x*x};
int g(int x){
return x+x};
int (*procedures)(int x)[2]; //<<== no idea if this is even acceptable
procedures[0] = f;
procedures[1] = g;
If it's handy to describe this in terms of a technology, C++ should suffice.

Like in Gone With the Wind, The Sun Also Rises after Twilight, even in a Pet Cemetary Where the Wild Things Are. But let's not be too morbid and discuss creepy things like The Satanic Verses or try to get an Interview With a Vampire from The Stranger Who Professes 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.' Going round in round like this, you may never know Where the Sidewalk Ends, and that would be unfortunate since Uncle Tom's Cabin is just around the corner...

A Strikeforce card decimated by injuries—it's a familiar story by now. Even Strikeforce's swan song cannot manage to escape this curse. The latest fighter forced to withdraw with an injury is yet another of the promotion's champions, middleweight kingpin Luke Rockhold.
The MMA Corner has learned from sources close to the camp of Rockhold that the middleweight champion has suffered a wrist injury and has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled Jan. 12 title defense against Lorenz Larkin.
Rockhold and Larkin were previously slated to meet on Strikeforce's Nov. 3 card, but Rockhold was forced out of that contest with an injury to the same wrist and the entire card was subsequently canceled.
This is not the first blow to what was once a stacked grand finale for the Strikeforce brand. The promotion's lightweight champion, Gilbert Melendez, has also been sidelined, resulting in the scrapping of his title defense against Pat Healy. What was once an event loaded with three title fights now has just one remaining, as the welterweight championship contest between title holder Nate Marquardt and challenger Tarec Saffiedine remains intact and will be promoted to the headlining spot on the card.
The event, set to take place at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, will also feature Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix winner Daniel Cormier locking horns with Dion Staring as well a clash of light heavyweights Gegard Mousasi and Mike Kyle.
No official announcement has come from Rockhold or the promotion regarding the injury, and it is not yet known whether Larkin will remain on the card.

Watch Dogs may look so good on the PlayStation 4 that even Microsoft decided to showcase the game on its competitor's hardware.
That or someone made a colossal mistake when uploading gameplay footage of the upcoming Ubisoft stealth action title. Watchful viewers of the months-old video -- uploaded to Microsoft's official Xbox YouTube account -- noticed only recently a slight discrepancy in the footage wherein a button prompt, visible for only a second, indicated a circle as an option. The only problem is that the circle is a PlayStation button, whereas the Xbox One uses a red "… Read more

Or worse, how often do you end up with some nasty food wrapper, oily paper towels or rags floating around the interior making more of a mess or just being in the way. Trash should be kept outside where we cannot smell it or have it mess up other items.

If you would like to know about knee joint replacement operations - specifically, the advantages and disadvantages of knee joint replacement - the following article will interest you.
Replacement knee surgery involves substituting an injured, worn, or diseased knee joint with an artificial joint. It is a routine operation for knee damage, particularly when arthritis is involved. The medical term for a complete knee replacement is total knee arthroplasty.
This article on the subject of knee replacement surgery is written by Jackie Griffiths, a freelance journalist who writes health, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical articles for national and international journals, newsletters and web sites.
The knee joint is a hinge between the thigh and shin bones. It is covered with a smooth but tough tissue called cartilage which allows the bones to glide over each other easily. But if this shock-absorbing cartilage becomes thin or damaged, the bones start to rub together which causes pain and swelling. This can occur in a range of conditions but is most common among people with osteoarthritis.
Other conditions that may require knee replacement surgery include:
Most people who undergo total knee replacement surgery are aged between 60 and 80 years old. Patients must be in good physical health to cope with a major operation and the rehabilitation afterwards. It is therefore recommended to try non-surgical options before having an operation. These include:
Knee joint replacement operations are performed by an orthopaedic surgeon, usually under a general anaesthetic. The alternative is to have an epidural that completely blocks sensation in the leg and enables the patient to stay awake during the operation.
Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the orthopaedic surgeon makes a single cut about 15-30cm down the front of the knee. The kneecap is moved to one side so the joint is accessible. The worn or damaged surfaces are removed from the thigh and shin bones, and the ends are shaped to fit the artificial knee.
A replacement joint is fitted over both bones. The back of the kneecap may also be fitted with an artificial cap, known as a patellar resurfacing. Once all the new parts are in place, the wound is closed with stitches, and covered with a dressing. The knee will also be bandaged to reduce swelling. The total procedure takes up to two hours.
Replacement knee surgical operations are very successful at relieving severe knee pain and improving mobility of the joint. In one study, 9 out of 10 people rated their artificial knee as 'good' or 'excellent' five years after having surgery. For these people, a replacement knee should last for 10-15 years or longer still.
The initial pain of knee replacement surgery improves after the first week, and usually disappears completely after three weeks. After six months, the new knee is straight, comfortable when walking, and can bend more than 90 degrees.
There are unwanted but usually temporary effects of successful knee replacement surgery. For instance, your knee will be sore when you move it and may remain swollen for up to three months. There will also be a scar over the front of the knee, and the knee may be temporarily, or permanently, numb.
The new knee joint is unlikely to be perfect; some difficulty in movement is to be expected even some time after surgery. Some people also report a clicking noise in the artificial joint when they walk. This is the sound of the prosthetic parts moving together.
A replacement knee cannot last forever and the joint will wear out or become loose from the bone after a number of years. Fewer than 9% of people need to have the artificial joint replacement within 1-5 years of the original surgery. The repeat process is more complicated and may not be as successful as the first.

Are there things you can do to help yourself not-do? I imagine the following:
Stop-smoking prep:
- Create substitute hand-to-mouth habit
-- Try several kinds of mints; choose favorite.
-- Store mints in coat, in car, at desk at work, in backpack.
- Eliminate smoking break habit at work
-- Talk to Joe about joining lunchtime walking group.
-- Buy second pair of running shoes to keep at work for walks.
-- Stock up on murder mysteries to read at desk when weather makes walking impossible.
- Eliminate lunchtime smoking associations. (Cafeteria picnic tables associated with smoking.)
-- Research nearby restaurants.
-- Talk to spouse about budgeting for restaurant lunches for at least three months.
-- Daily reminder: Eat lunch out.
- Shift smoking associations
-- Choose a workplace smoking location where I otherwise never go.
-- Daily reminder: Smoke _only_ there.
- Eliminate smoking temptation
-- Ask spouse about social obligations for the next three months.
-- Decide which ones to cancel for smoking temptation risk.
Stop-smoking maintenance:
- Refresh mint supply if needed. (repeating, weekly)
- Refresh murder mystery supply if needed. (repeating, weekly)
- Evaluate further need for lunchtime out. (At two month mark.)
- Evaluate next three months' worth of obligations. (At two month mark.)
And so on, and so on.

OK FINE! 2 people said whatever you want, Brandy, you will anyway. This is true.
I've been talking about I-spy quilts. They are quilts that use the super cute novelty prints and kids think they are cute. There are TONS of different layouts.The one I'm going to do is a disappearing 9-patch that Care at Obsessively Stitching did a tutorial for.
Care's quilt |
The quilt takes 88 squares of different novelty prints that I've collected via swaps and my money-spending ways. Click to make bigger and to ooooh and aaaah over my fabulous taste.
But I don't know what color to make the sashing. Like where her light brown and dark brown are - I don't know what color to make those. I thought maybe a white and.... blue? too much blue? red - WAY too much red? brown? what color brown?
So there you go - now you realize what a huge fabric geek (freek) I am. All those pictures that I took? Not for this post - only for my own personal inventory purposes. I'm my own kind of special.

I'm getting crockpot crazyyyyyyyyyyy!!
I found this recipe on (DUH) Pinterest and tweaked it a little bit...omg it turned out so good.
- 4 raw, boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 oz. each)
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes in juice, low sodium is best
- 1 (12 ounce) jar of your favorite salsa, no sugar added
- 1/2 white onion
- Cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Place the chicken breasts on the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the tomatoes and salsa over that and then layer on the beans and corn.
- Cook on HIGH for 4 hours, or until the chicken easily falls apart when the pot is stirred.
Throw some cheddar cheese on top, fat free sour cream (or non-fat plain Greek yogurt!), cilantro and lime.
You can serve it over brown rice or in a low carb tortilla or just right out of the bowl, YUM!

New clubs I've heard of:
Catterick Crusaders (think they may be North Yorkshire Stallions)
North Yorkshire Broncos (new to open age but already ran juniors)
Beckenham Bears
A merged West London Sharks and South London Storm?
In the midlands there are to my knowledge no new clubs at open age but Grantham Gladiators are joining the junior league I think.

Carrot-Fennel Salad with Ginger-Horseradish Dressing
Author Notes: The sweetness of the fennel combines its crunch with that of carrots, the fresh ginger and horseradish in the dressing for a flavor best described as *bright*! - boulangere
Serves 6
For the Salad
- 12 carrots, peeled, cut in thirds, julienned
- 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, halved, julienned
- 1/4 cup fennel fronds, chopped
For the Dressing
- 1/2 cup sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, unseasoned
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled, minced
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Sambal Olek
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Julienne the carrots and fennel bulbs with a knife or with a mandoline. Place in a salad bowl with half the chopped fennel fronds and toss to blend. Keep remaining fennel fronds for garnish.
- Prepare dressing. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Taste by dipping a pinch of the salad mix into it. Adjust seasonings as necessary. More horseradish and lime will make the flavor "brighter"; more Sambal Olek will, of course, set your hair on fire.
- Add dressing to salad and toss to blend. Garnish with remaining chopped fennel fronds.

From the time of Charles Darwin science has painted a picture of our earliest ancestor in the image of a chimpanzee. Scientific American editor Katherine Harmon explains how new fossil evidence is redrawing the lines of human evolution.
Wouldn't our first human ancestor be the earliest member of the genus Homo, H. habilis?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI think our ancestor limited his /hers weight by scheduling eating habits and increased circulation of blood to brain by constantly seeking knowledge of stuffs that creates personal existance around on ground rather than increasing blood circulation to build body mass by mostly hanging around in trees,similar to the powers John carter gets in hollywood movie John carter.

What kind of tools do you guys have acess too, cause if you dont have a lathe and milling machine, you can pretty much rule out building the gearbox your self. And also most gear boxes that are out there are meant to decrease speed in more than a 10:1 ratio, so your servos will be going very very slowly (mabey 1 or 2 RPM), I think that they do sell slow servos. Also is it just that you need the torque increased, or you just want it slower, cause you can just buy a regular speed super high torque winch servo and have it not going full speed.

Advantages of Marriage
The ability to love and receive love in return. Marriage to someone you love gives you an avenue to channel all your love and attention especially for people who never really received love as children. Loving someone who loves you back is the greatest feeling most married people experience in their lives.
Research has shown that children raised by married couples do better than children raised by single parents. Most religions encourage raising kids in this (marriage) environment because it is believed to provide the necessary balance in the upbringing of children. Let's face it; it is easier for two people to raise kids than for one person to bear the burden of raising a kid(s) alone. Raising kids is tasking for two people let alone one person!
In light of modern day, what is marriage? What does it mean? The Collins Paperback English Dictionary states under the heading of marriage: 'The contract made by a man and a woman to live as husband and wife'.
The Hutchinson Encyclopedia states: '..legally or culturally sanctioned union..'. So, according to the dictionary and the encyclopedia marriage is supposed to be a relationship that joins a man and a woman together via a contract. When one looks at what marriage actually is in this modern era of the world one finds a completely different picture. It seems as though modern couples sign the contract with a get-out-whenever-you-like-upon-trivial-matters clause, which enables both the husband and the wife to scrap their marriage contracts and break their marriage oaths whenever they feel like leaving their partner and move on.

Running a marathon had, of course, easily worked its way to the very top (it's kind of our thing, no?), right above being rich and having, like, a ton of friends. Biking around the perimeter of Manhattan? No, somehow that one had missed the cut. But alas! Not to be outdone, I went ahead a did that, too. Seriously though, we did. Ask any real cyclist and they'd scoff at this. Ask me and I'd say, my thighs are screaming because I'm out of shape, and it was great. So there! The real purpose of the bike ride, aside from just enjoying a pretty day in New York, was to stop by the 4Knots Festival at South Street Seaport to see a set by Nick Waterhouse and his band. He did a great job, I mean, he was on fire! It was also to finally explore all the free things there are to do, like kayaking in the Hudson. Did you know you can go just about any day of the week and kayak for free along the Hudson? It's a nice way to cool off, and as it turns out, the city gives some pretty good sunsets.

When it comes to office email software, most people support one of several services: Microsoft Outlook, Gmail and others. A vast majority of companies use Microsoft Outlook and have either considered using Gmail or are in the process of switching over. Gmail and Outlook both have large amounts of fans, and when asked to switch from Outlook to Gmail, many don't want to. There is a way around this though.
If you have employees who are reluctant to switch from Outlook to Gmail, there is a way to use the Gmail platform with the familiarity of Outlook through a feature Google calls Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook. Here's how you can set it up. Note: you need to be a Google Apps Administrator for this to work.
- Log in to your Google account and navigate to your Dashboard. From there go to the Settings tab (located on the bar going across the top of the window) and click Email (located on the left of the window). Under the General tab scroll down and tick the box that says Enable Google Apps Sync and Google Apps Connector for my users.
- Scroll down to User email uploads and tick the box that says Allow users to upload mail using the Email Migration API. This will allow users to upload their profiles from Outlook.
- Select Contacts from the left side of the screen and select Enable contact sharing.
- Click the Dashboard tab from the top of the window, and select Your Google Apps and ensure that Google Calendar is on.
- Navigate to Domain Settings, the tab is at the top of the window, select User Settings and check the box that says Enable provisioning API.
- Download and install the Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Office tool. It should run automatically.
- Sign in to Google Apps Sync and select which data is to be merged from Outlook into Gmail and press Create profile. A screen will pop up asking you to open Outlook. When you do, the migration will then start.
- While the migration is in progress, which could take a while, right click on the Google Sync icon on the bottom right of your screen (beside the clock) and select Set calendars to sync. Select the calendars and hit Ok.

An excerpt of Murder as a Second Language, the nineteenth book in the Claire Malloy traditional mystery series by Joan Hess (available December 17, 2013).
Claire Malloy—now a married woman of leisure—tries her hand at volunteering, but instead lands her right in the middle of another murder investigation
Longtime bookseller and single mother, Claire Malloy has recently married her long term beau and moved out of her less than opulent apartment into a sprawling, newly remodeled house. Her daughter, Caron, is making plans for college. All of which leaves Claire with something she hasn't had in quite a while: spare time.
When her attempts to learn French cooking start getting "mixed" reviews, she agrees to help Caron and her best friend Inez in fluffing up their college applications by volunteering as an ESL tutor with the Farberville Literacy Council. But her modest effort to give back quickly becomes a nightmare when she's railroaded onto the Board of Directors of the troubled nonprofit. Vandalism, accusations of embezzlement, epic budget problems, and a cacophony of heavily-accented English speakers are just the tip of the iceberg. Just as she decides that it might be best to extricate herself, Claire gets a frantic call from her husband, Deputy Chief Peter Rosen. One of the students, an older Russian woman named Ludmilla, famed for her unpleasantness, has been murdered in the offices of the Farberville Literary Council. For the first time ever, Peter actually asks Claire for her help, and Hess brings a new depth to this fan-favorite series, in Murder as a Second Language.
Chapter 1
"Why's your shirt covered in blood?" Caron asked as she sat down at the kitchen island and held up her cell phone to capture the moment.
"It's mostly tomato sauce," I said, peering at the recipe. There were twenty-two ingredients, and I was facing number sixteen: "easy aioli." Apparently, it was too easy to suggest directions. I did not have Julia Child on speed dial. Number seventeen in the recipe was one cup of dry white wine. An excellent idea. I poured myself a cup and leaned against the counter, temporarily stymied but not yet defeated.

White, yellow and red are often used. It depends on how much of a sweet or potent flavor you want. Here is a good link which talks all about onions. Really, whichever you have on hand will be fine, although consider the color when using red. Hope this helps!
All of the quantities are listed in step 2 of the text recipe. Hope this helps.
First of all, tomato paste is generally much thicker so will make the sauce thicker. You can also thicken a tomato sauce if using runnier tomato product (e.g. canned/strained) by simply simmering it and evaporating (reducing) some of the liquid.
Most importantly though, you should be thinking about ensuring that you have good canned tomato products. I searched "tomato" on Rouxbe here to find answers to these kinds of questions:
(click on the 'tip and technique' tab)
Re: white and red wine, I turn the question back to you. What do you think? Part of teaching is to help our students trust their own instincts.
I have used a larger pot, so the liquid evaporated sooner. Is it okay to add more liquid or would that change the overall flavor?
I've also substituted the pork with fresh sausage. It tastes good, but the texture is different. It seems a bit pasty. I'm guessing it is because of the fat in the sausage.
Generally, you can still use substitute 1:1 canned tomato paste for tubes tomato concentrate (technically they are both concentrated tomatoes). With that said, every brand will be different, so you may need to use more or less. I have always just used the same amount and I can't say that I have noticed a real difference. Hope that helps. Cheers!
I'm assuming I'd be able to substitute chicken stock for milk in the recipe, but I was wondering if any sort of non-dairy milk can work as well. I was hoping this could make it a little richer than stock, but I have never really cooked with non-dairy milk and don't know how it will taste or react. What kinds of non-dairy milk do you prefer for cooking and baking?
For me the major contribution of the paste is with the following: it intensifies the flavor as well as creates desired thickness of the sauce, second is color, vibrant, which if added with red wine can be more beautiful and shiny if finished with a little bit of olive oil. Finishing with the flavor of olive oil brings it more closer to Italy both as to aroma and flavor.
For me the best way is to sweat only vegetables with a little bit of seasoning, this is because I use unsalted stock instead of milk, which helps reinforce the flavor and little bit of romano or grana padana. The cheese adds seasoning to the right taste, plus aroma and flavor.
Use of pancetta is not mandatory for me, its only for flavor, so can use bacon, prosciutto, or guanciale but this only depends on how prominent I want the flavor to be. Herbs, not strict with thyme as bay leaf and other herbs may be use as well. Even if no herbs at all. One can use tomato puree too or crushed tomato, depends on how one like it to be, anyway this is a sauce focused on meat not mainly on tomato.
Hi Alex- In this recipe, I might recommend that you try rice or almond milk (unsweetened) if you are going for richness. The only issue for some is that these would impart some nutty flavor, which may or may not make any difference considering that there other strong flavors in this dish already.
The main risk is that certain certain types of nut milk might split with the persistent heat and acidity, and it's hard to predict. Baking with nut milks is more forgiving, as the variables are more contained and the acidity is less likely to be all over the map. I like coconut milk, almond milk, and hazelnut milk for baking. Enjoy!
Hi Joseph. Keep up the great work! I enjoyed reading your notes and commentary. It seems that you are quite deliberate in your cooking and you have drive and motivation to learn more. I'm sure your Rouxbe classmates will enjoy learning a bit from you! Thank you for contributing to our discussions. Enjoy!

Flipped AP Calculus Class
Then she sent a portion of an article by this teacher, who did this with AP Calculus, which I'm teaching next year. I've also been reflecting and brooding on all those students I had this year in precalculus who perfected the art of "playing school" by pretending to be taking notes and paying attention while they were just going through the motions. Passive "learning". I had no effective consequences for that, not in the "shame on you" way, but in the catch it and make them tune in way. By flipping, and some effective way I can give points or assess that they watched, then I can do the practice problems in class. I totally agreed with this teacher's statement that by the time the kids get home (and ours get home pretty late), their brains are fried, and they may not be giving their mental "all" to the math homework.
Anyway, I'm batting around the idea of doing this for next year for calculus. Teacher Tube? Screencast.com? Other? There seem to be a ton of resources in the above link. .... I'll THINK about it.

Let me know if you want me to send you some AP stuff. I taught it for a zillion years. I can also offer some good techniques to help them with the exam.

I totally get everything you mentioned in your post! I would be very happy to help you get set up with AP Calculus or answer questions/concerns directly. My suggestion: start with 1 class! Organization, consistency, and preparation is key -- so start small.
I use Camtasia Studio to record/edit and host to screencast.com (you can do this directly from Camtasia - one button to click!). The guided notes that I give them to fill out help me a lot in assessing how well they watched the video. This is the 1st thing I check for in when they come to class. They should have taken notes (not just copied exactly what I wrote... or their classmate wrote). This works really well for me...
Please feel free to email me (contact info on my blog). Great thoughts on your blog! - 11:13 AM

POed! Thanks for your offer. I'd love any advice/ideas/tips/other you think are transferable. I'm also so glad to read that you're enjoying your "retirement". I envision you power walking all around and happening upon cool new things. I love to read about your adventures and squirrel away ideas of places to visit.
Stacey! I loved reading about your experience of the "flipping" especially since it applied to AP Calc. I have tons of questions, so I'm going to send you e-mail. Thanks for the offer. - 5:41 PM
Hi Shireen- This is Jen (again). It is so funny that you blogged about this. I've been tossing around the idea of having students watch videos at home before coming in to hear more/practice concepts the next day. I've never taught Calc before and, frankly, I'm freaking out already about it. So much that I've been getting up at 5 every morning to study it. It's been a looooooong time since I've done any calculus and the stuff is all in my head somewhere, I just have to (slowly) pull it back out and make sure I understand it enough to teach it. I've been watching videos on www.khanacademy.org and they've been tremendously helpful. And I started to think that maybe I'd have the students watch those next year as well. If you haven't already, you should check that website out. I love that the presenter is not visible on screen. You are just looking at his "blackboard" and hearing his voice. It really helps eliminate all of the distractions students typically have in the classroom (look what Ms. Whatever is wearing today, OMG BillySue is picking his nose, etc. . .you know what I mean). The presenter is very good at explaining the intuition behind concepts and I'm thinking maybe students would be able to really focus on those videos and then come in with good foundation to learn more about them and then to do practice problems. But, then again, I feel like maybe I'm crazy because I've never even taught the course before, so what the heck do I know?! Let me know what you think.

Hi Jen,
I forgot if you mentioned it, but are you going to an APSI calculus workshop before the fall? I've been in the past, and they're really helpful. I also like this guy:
find his tutorial tab, and I think he explains stuff well.
Also, http://www.mastermathmentor.com/
has a ton of great free worksheets and tips and such.
I've seen some Khan videos. I think it's a good resource to add to the mix. I'm batting around the idea of doing a variety of flipping: me, me giving internet info, textbook, them searching internet info....
I haven't taught it in 3 years, so I'm rusty, too. You've given me the push to pull out my files soon. Let me know if we can push each other set study goals or something. - 9:06 AM
Shireen- I'm definitely up for being pushed (or shoved) to set study goals or something! I am going to an AP Summer Institute in July. My goal is to not look like a total idiot at it, so I'm trying to work through the entire curriculum before that. Today is my first official day of vacation and I'm only finishing chapter 4. I've got a lot of work ahead of me. My husband (also a math teacher) thinks I've lost my mind. He looked at me like I had 5 heads when he got up this morning and found me working on calculus on the first day of summer vacation. *sigh*. . . .
-Jen - 7:50 PM
- Shireen D said...
Hi Jen .... sounds like you have a great plan with studying first. And your husband??? apparently he doesn't know a good time when he sees it :).
You're not by chance going to an institute in Texas are you? THAT would be a coincidence. - 9:58 PM
- nichol2c said...
Hi Shireen.
I attempted a flipped classroom last year. It quickly changed from attempting videos 4 times a week to videos that needed to be watched before they came to class every Wednesday and Friday.
The "flip" did not really flip much as I found myself still teaching the concept again briefly in class, but it was a great lead into integrating technology for me as I was a 2nd year teacher.
I did the videos using Jing and posted them to my students thorough Edmodo! - 8:18 AM
- Shireen D said...
Thanks for your feedback, nichol2c. I know there will be bumps along the road, and it may not work with my population, so it's good to hear all experiences.
- sree said...
2x + 3y = 11 and 2x -- 4y = -- 24 and y=mx+3 find the value of 'm' http://youtu.be/UDe9zTsxQ3o what is y=mx+3 here is this linear equation or linear equation.
I'm interested in flipping my AP Calc class this coming year. For those who have done it, can you give me more specifics on waphat you did during class time. I don't want to assign them book problems...I'd like to get them to think and learn more!
Thanks, AM - 9:46 PM
- Nutter Buttersmith said...
i've seen this work for people this past year and am all for it, but...
my issue is this: what do we do if students don't have the access at home? - 10:48 AM
- Shireen D said...
NB, that is one thing I'm wondering. I guess I'll play it by ear. Here are some things I might consider if it's not too many students:
* maybe they could check out an iPad from the library
* maybe they could allot after school time or tutoring time to watch
* maybe they can use computers in class to watch, but that would defeat the purpose
I guess I'll see what happens. - 12:26 PM

For those not in the know a group of authors have decided to do a once a month (final friday of every month) announcement thread. Highlighting new artists coming to the service, contests, video game play debuts, and who knows what else! So for the rest of the day this thread will be the home of the latest and greatest news concerning Rock Band Network! So keep checking back during the day because who knows what might be happening during the next 16 hours
So we're going to start things off with a new partnership we've entered into to fix a problem that a lot of people have with Rock Band Network :
Too much Metalz.
Don't get us wrong, we love metal. We love difficult charts that have been forged in the fires of 5 lane hell. Songs that test your mettle, and make you question your man (or woman) hood when they kick your teeth out the back of your butt.
However it can't be cranked up to eleven all the time. Otherwise it just becomes stale.
We've heard your cries of too much metal growly yell music, and we're doing something to help bring in more of the...well...not metal into Rock Band Network.
So we're pleased to announce a long term relationship with Swedish label A West Side Fabrication.
While you might not be familiar with the bands on this label, you can't deny the quality of music these artists are producing.
We're confident that the music we're bringing from West Side will help to balance out the seeming nonstop onslaught of metal recently.
The first two tracks we're currently working on for the game are :
We are the Storm - Galileo
Oh My! - Twenty One
There will be much more to come from West Side so stay tuned to future announcement threads for more details.
We'll continue to add more information throughout the day (as will other authoring groups) including a contest for some KILLER prizes later in the day and even more new band announcements so stay tuned!

It started with a baby.
Catherine O'Sullivan, a senior studying architecture at the University of Miami, wanted to create a wooden rocking toy for her cousin who was expecting his first child in Ireland.
O'Sullivan worked on the toy with boyfriend Michael Galea, also a UM architecture student. Made of bamboo, the toy was sleek and functional, designed to ship and be assembled easily.
Little did the couple know the small wooden horse would become a baby of their own.
After graduating last May, O'Sullivan and Galea realized the profit potential for the toys, and Wee Rock Toy Co. was born.
Galea and O'Sullivan are part of a brave cadre of recent college graduates who are starting their own businesses. Despite the slow economy, grads and teachers say they are motivated not so much by want of jobs but by a desire to work for themselves or build their dreams. The national unemployment rate for college grads 25 and older was 4 percent last year, still above normal for educated workers, but well below that of the overall workforce.
While O'Sullivan, 23, has a day job at an architecture and urban design firm, and Galea, 25, has pending job offers, the couple has invested close to $20,000 in creating about 100 of the bamboo rocking toys.
"We figured this is the right time to try it," Galea said.
Although they have no prior business experience, both O'Sullivan and Galea live in Miami-Dade with their parents and have not started paying their student loans. The simplicity of the rocking toy's design, which uses no parts or hardware, allows them to keep costs relatively low. They both used money earned during college to finance the business, and haven't had to take out any loans.
Wee Rock has already sold 13 toys, which go for $300 each, in the first month of business, and the duo is confident sales will pick up in the coming months.
Martin Luytjes, an entrepreneurship professor at Florida International University, said more and more students like Galea and O'Sullivan are starting their own businesses, not out of necessity, but because they're the right age to get their foot into the businesses world.
"Now young people are realizing that, 'Wait a minute, I have some great ideas and I want to pursue them,' " Luytjes said. "When you're out of school, it's easy to start a business because you have nothing to lose."
Luytjes said he sees students from a variety of majors taking entrepreneurship classes to complement their studies, because every industry has a business side to it. Many students major in entrepreneurship because they feel it gives them more potential than other subjects.
"The major is the number-one most versatile degree," said Christopher Poore, 23, another UM graduate.
Poore and business partner Ronald Rick III, 23, opened a Miami-based franchise of College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving after meeting company founder and UM alumnus Omar Soliman through a senior-level entrepreneurship class. Poore said they felt comfortable embarking on their own business venture right out of school because their studies taught them every aspect of the business world, from creating business plans to marketing.
Other students who don't have a business background still see more opportunity in entrepreneurship than in taking traditional jobs for their degree.
