Public Breast Feeding...


I welcome Comments to my BLOG.

I find this really disturbing. We were in Wal Mart the other week doing our shopping for our food and there was this man and woman with their kids, 3 walking and one sucking! They were just walking around the store doing their shopping and the mother had her breast hanging out and the baby was feeding on it. I mean, come on, in freaking Wal Mart!! How white trash or tree hugger can you get? it was probably the latter being in Virginia, but That is just horrific! I think that there is a time and a place(like HOME) or in the bathroom, but WALKING around the store for public display? I think there should be a law against this like public indecent or something. Go to the bathroom and do that. Most people do not change messy diapers in the middle of the store! Sucking on a bottle is OK, breast feeding, NOT OK! It is just as bad a sitting in the airport or mall for God's sake!! It is just WRONG!! Have a little modesty and regard for your fellow persons!! The picture is just a representation and not the actual person in Wal Mart.

Moutain Bike'n...

A friend and I went to Pocahontas State Park on Saturday morning and went moutain bike ridding. It was about 43 degrees and sunny. We did not go to Chippingham Park as it was in a bottom and with all the rain, we were afarid thatr it would be flooded out. It was a great Cardio Workout!!! We rode about 4-5 miles down the main trails and totally missed the single track hard stuff. We have planed another time to go and do that stuff. We were not really sure where it was either!~ I really want to get into this more. it is better for me health wise and great fun to boot.


Here is a link to a map of the park: Map of Park

The 'Evolution of Math Instruction' over the past half century.


Teaching Math in 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is
4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for a set "M" of money. The
cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots
representing the elements of the set "M". The set "C", the cost of
production, contains 20 fewer points than set "M". Represent the set "C"
as the subset of set "M" and answer this question: What is the cardinality of
the set "P" of profits?

Teaching Math in 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is
$80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math in 1990:
By cutting down beautiful trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think
of  this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering
the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels "feel" as the logger
cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.

Teaching Math in 2000:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is
$120. How does Arthur Anderson determine that his profit margin is $60?

Teaching Math in 2010:
El hachero vende un camion carga por $100. La cuesta de productiones......
