Yes I think that is a correct interpretation (I have seen it both ways)...that was my proble...I have one in 4th and one in 6th...but I believe B will be fine

I too appreciate the reviews!:bigear:

Thank you all...I watched the youtube and then found a sample lesson (kinda buried on their site) for B but not for A, but what I saw was sufficient... B seems to be on level with my 4th grader...We are looking to branch out from Writing Strands, hope this lives up to the rave reviews...Thanks again!

Sample lesson...is there a link where I can see a comparison of (for example) Lesson 1 in A and Lesson 1 in B?

lol...reminds me of the tofu turkey on Everybody Loves Raymond...:lol::lol::lol:

:grouphug: Oh I hope you are ok...but sad to say often you can't always really know until a couple days later after adrenaline/shock has left and soarness sets in...sorry for the unforeseen stress of it all...

Has anyone seen both the IEW SWI A and B...what is the difference? They say it should be by age and not skill level? A:3-5 B:6-8...and to shoot for the middle, but I would like your opinion...It beaucoup $ and I would like to get it right... Would B be too advanced for a 10 yo or A too babyish for a 6th grader? TIA

you can order tons of stuff at your Barnes and Noble (even if your store isn't presonally carrying it) and have them deliver it to your store...you do NOT have to pay until after it has arrived and you get to look at it...pretty great!

oh I just found the neatest one after I googled...here is the link to the blog http://www.visionforum.com/hottopics/blogs/dwp/2007/04/2439.aspx

oops...here is the linkhttp://www.homeschoolinthewoods.com/HTTA/promo/Jamestown-Replica.htm

homeschool in the woods has a beautiful replica you can print and build for free...

It could be hyperhydrosis...

It's absolutely Gorgeous and Informative!

:iagree: :blink::blink::blink::blink:(the view gals) :lol::rofl::lol:

:iagree: I think this is right on:)

btw... that pumpkin pie avatar pic is making me oh so hungry!:drool5:

No beehive here...not sure I ever had one????

cool...thanks for the tip:)

:iagree: I would also add Jimmie on Squidoo:)

I work out 4 mornings or afternoons a week (mine are old enough they go to the gym with me)...I also love my tea, my reading time, baking and my monthly pedicures:)

Love my 5200...it was a gift from the inlaws that I thought was over priced and I woud never use...Boy was I WRONG! I looove it! It's a Costco road show baby:D

Nada, neither of us...

http://http://www.askdrsears.com/html/4/T041300.asp Trans fats or hydrogenated fats may interfere with the ability of the cells of the body to metabolize the fats that are good for you. This may damage cell membranes of vital structures, such as the brain and nerve cells. Cell membranes contain receptor sites for fat molecules, sort of like parking places that are specifically designed to receive certain molecules. When the right fatty acid arrives, it fills its assigned parking spot and contributes to the health of the membrane. However, trans fatty acid "cars" may also come along and squeeze into a space that doesn't really fit these biochemical impostors. A sort of biochemical traffic jam occurs, and the right cars cannot get to where they need to be. Or, think of cell membranes as having millions of tiny locks, which nutrient molecules can enter like keys. Changing the shape of the molecule, which is what happens when a fat is hydrogenated, changes the shape of the key, and it doesn't fit properly into the lock. Two problems can occur. Either the molecular misfit key is left to wander throughout the body, causing damage in other places, or these misfit keys keep pushing their way into the locks, damaging them, so that the right keys, the natural nutrients, no longer fit. At least in theory, hydrogenated fats can weaken cell membranes, keeping out needed nutrients and also allowing harmful ones to leak in. This may set the body up for chronic, degenerative diseases. This is why fake fats are becoming known in the medical community as "the silent killer." We can take a tip from Mother Nature that trans fatty acids are not good for the body. Both the placenta and the brain have a biochemical way of filtering most trans fatty acids out, although the protection is not complete. If a diet is not overwhelmed with TFA's, it can deal with a bit of them by metabolizing these fats as energy sources before they have a chance to do any cellular damage, and then use the good fats (the essential fatty acids) as healthy nutrients for the cells. Perhaps, a bit of trans fatty acids (which may occur naturally in some foods anyway) won't harm the body but, like all other fats, excess will.

I of course would suggest you do your own research (as I did about a year ago)...just google trans fat build up, or something of the like...Here is one of the first articles that came up when I just did...there are many studies out there too on the body's inability to break down trans fats...they build up over a lifetime... http://www.heartandstroke.com/site/c.ikIQLcMWJtE/b.3479251/ Eliminating trans fat Scientific evidence shows trans fat increases the incidence of coronary heart disease. In fact, there is no known safe level of trans fat consumption. While Canadians are becoming increasingly aware of the heart-health risks associated with trans fat, our consumption of saturated and trans fat is one of the highest in the world. This highlights the need for ongoing advocacy efforts and initiatives to support and encourage food manufacturers to drastically reduce or eliminate trans fat from their products. To achieve this goal, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada co-chairs a multi-stakeholder Trans Fat Task Force that brings together government, health professionals, non-governmental organizations and industry to reduce trans fat in Canada’s food supply to the lowest possible levels. The Task Force is also investigating options for regulating the levels of trans fats in Canadian foods, and educating the public about the health risks of trans fat so they can make informed food choices. Read more about trans fat . http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/07/21/f-transfats.html Why is it bad for me? Trans fats raise the low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, in the body. While saturated fats — found in butter, cheese, beef, and coconut and palm oil — raise cholesterol levels, trans fats go further. They also deplete good cholesterol (HDL), which helps protect against heart disease. The body is unable to break down trans fatty acids, causing them to build up in the body. In other words, much like bacon grease clogging up the kitchen pipes, trans fats contribute to clogging the arteries leading to the heart and brain.
