My bestie, Rob, loves the phrase, "We call that Tuesday . . . "
As in, "Oh my God, I can't believe I drank four vodka martinis."
"We call that Tuesday."
Well, it is, indeed, Tuesday. And on Tuesdays, I generally tutor back-to-back math kiddos. I did that today, though with the holiday week it was morning, rather than evening (kinda nice).
My second hour of math was with my algebra scholar and we were working on systems of linear equations with three variables. We did 7 systems as well as reviewing some concepts she continues to work on from the units previous to this one. I will see her again on Friday this week and I left her with four systems (translation for those who blessedly do not have the nerd mutation: groups of three or more equations where you have to manipulate all the equations to solve for all the variables given) left to solve still. Told her we would go over those on Friday
Then I did some Thanksgiving pie-supply shopping and got home a bit late for lunch. As I munched on some kale and a sandwich I decided to solve those systems for myself. You know, for relaxing fun while I ate lunch.
This is what I do for fun now. We call that Tuesday here.
Yeeeeaahhh. I need a job.

Caban and art teacher Dona Seegers have team-taught math and art this school year, a collaboration that resulted in an interactive hallway installation called The Math Gates.
T's new math concept, which we will be working on for several weeks, is dividing quantities equally. today we will be serving cookies to teddy and sketchy; T wanted to set the table first. he decided to set a place for himself, which made the activity more difficult as he has been dividing quantities among only two up to this point.

BELUR MATH
Beluṛ Maṭh (Bengali: বেলুড় মঠ) is the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, founded by Swami Vivekananda, a chief disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. It is located on the west bank of Hooghly River, Belur, West Bengal, India and is one of the significant institutions in Calcutta.[2] This temple is the heart of the Ramakrishna Movement. The temple is notable for its architecture that fuses Hindu, Christian and Islamic motifs as a symbol of unity of all religions. In 2007 Belurmath railway station was also inaugurated which is dedicated to Belurmath temple
In January 1897, Swami Vivekananda arrived in Colombo with his small group of Western disciples. Two monasteries were founded by him, one at Belur, which became the headquarters of Ramakrishna Mission and the other at Mayavati on the Himalayas, in Champawat Dist. Uttrakhand called the Advaita Ashrama.[4][5]These monasteries were meant to receive and train young men who would eventually become sannyasis of the Ramakrishna Mission, and to give them a training for their work. The same year the philanthropic activity was started and relief of the famine was carried out.[5]
Swami Vivekananda's days as a parivrajaka (wandering monk) before his visit to Parliament of Religions, took him through many parts of India and he visited several architectural monuments like the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri palaces, Diwan–I–Khas, palaces of Rajasthan, ancient temples of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and other places. During his tour in America and Europe, he came across buildings of architectural importance of Modern, Medieval, Gothic and Renaissance styles. It is reported that Vivekananda incorporated these ideas in the design of the Belur Math temple.[6]
Swami Vijnanananda, a brother-monk of Swami Vivekananda and one of the monastic disciples of Ramakrishna, who was, in his pre-monastic life, a civil engineer, designed the temple according to the ideas of Vivekananda and Swami Shivananda, the then President of Belur Math laid the foundation stone on 16 May 1935. The massive construction was handled by Martin Burn & Co.. The mission proclaims the Belur Math as, "A Symphony in Architecture"
The 40-acre (160,000 m2) campus of the Belur Math on the banks of the Ganges includes temples dedicated to Ramakrishna, Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda, in which their relics are enshrined, and the main monastery of the Ramakrishna Order. The campus also houses a Museum containing articles connected with the history of Ramakrishna Math and Mission. Several educational institutions affiliated with the Ramakrishna Mission are situated in the vast campus adjacent to Belur Math.[8] The Belur Math is considered as one of the prime tourist spots near Kolkata[9] and place of pilgrimage by devotees.[10][11] The ex-president APJ Abdul Kalam regarded Belur Math as a "place of heritage and national importance.
The design of the temple was envisioned by Swami Vivekananda and the architect was Swami Vijnanananda, a direct monastic disciple of Ramakrishna. Sri Ramakrishna Temple was consecrated on 14 January, the Makar Sankranti Day in 1938.
The Ramakrishna temple at the Belur Math is designed to "celebrate the diversity of Indian Religions"[2] and resembles a temple, a mosque, a church if seen from different positions.[13][14][15] The architectural style and symbolism from a number of religions have been incorporated into the design of the temple at Belur Math, to convey the "universal faith" in which the movement believes.[16][17] The temple is considered as a prime example of the importance of "material dimension" of religion.[16]
The main entrance of the temple, has a facade influenced by Buddhist styles in the Buddhist stupa at Sanchi & the main entrance of the Ajanta Caves.The structure which rises over the entrance is modelled on the Hindu temples of South India with their lofty towers. The windows and balconies inside the temple draw upon the Rajput(Hindu) and Mughal (Islamic) style of north India. The central dome is derived from European architecture of St. Maria-Del-Florence in Italy built during the Renaissanceperiod. The ground plan is in the shape of Christian cross.[2][16]
The height of the temple is 112.5 feet (34.3 m) and covers a total area of 32,900 sq ft (3,060 m2). The temple mainly is built of chunar stone and some portion in the front is of cement. The high entrance of the temple is like a South Indian Gopuram and the pillars on both sides represent Buddhistic architectural style. The three umbrella-like domes on the top built in Rajput-Moghul styles give an idea of thatched roofs of the village Kamarpukur.
The circular portion of the entrance is an intermingling of Ajanta style with Hindu architecture and within it, placing the emblem of the Order is representation of beauty and solemnity. Just above seen is a replica of a Shiva lingam. The natmandira, the spacious congregational hall attached to the sanctum, resembles a church, especially of St Peter's Church in Rome.The pillars in a line on its both sides are according to Doric or Greek style. The beam above is held by decorative brackets similar to the Meenakshi Temple at Madurai in Tamil Nadu.The elaborate designs on the pillars resemble the Orissa style.
The hanging balconies above the natmandir and the windows show the effect of Moghul architecture used in the Fatehpur Sikri.The broad parikrama path for doing circumambulatory rounds on all sides of the garbhamandira (sanctum sanctorum) are built like Buddhist chaityas and Christian Churches. The lattice work statues of Navagraha figures are etched on semi-circular top of outside the temple. The golden kalasha is placed on the top of the temple and has a full-bloomed lotusbelow. The architecture of the big dome and of the other domes show a shade of Islamic, Rajput, Bengali terracotta and Lingaraj Temple styles. The entrance doors on both east and west of the temple having pillars on both sides are like the elegant gateways of the Manmandir in Gwalior Fort. Ganesha and Hanuman images, representing success and power are carved above them.

As promised....my belated Monday face.......i took the half day today to drive Kaileigh and Lileigh to her first pediatrician appt. She is doing just great...and her doctor is the doctor i had chosen for my daughters before they were even born.
i decided to "interview" doctors, to get a feel for them...a friend told me to come along with her when her 4 year old son had his appt...that was my first and only interview....hands down, he was the best...his sense of humor was over the top and it was plain that he ADORED kids...took his time with the mom's to make sure they understood everything...just excellent. My daughter's LOVED to go see him....never fussed about going to the doctor...ever!
it seemed that each time i was due with another baby, his wife would have just had another or be due any time....each time she had boy...i had a girl...by the time i was due with my 3rd child, he was on his 4th son. When i had my 3rd....and it was another girl, i knew that i was going to have to hide from him the morning he came to check her over....i strategically planned a shower at the time he was due in. When i finished up and came out to go to my room, there he was....sitting in a chair, in the hallway, outside the showers!....waiting....
He looked up at me....smiled and said,
"HOW do you make a girl?? I keep trying....just had boy #4........" He is a very funny man.
I have not seen him in many years, until today. He is the same as i remembered, and his eyes got enormous when he saw me there today...wondering WHY! then he yelled, "OMG!! Get over here, i need to give you a hug!!! What are you doing here!!?" When he was told that Kaileigh had her baby, he pushed the attending doctor out of the way, ran to the exam room, said hello to her, and then grabbed Lileigh off the table, hugged her, kissed her, and whispered to her "Your first words to this lady right here must be "convertible
Lexus"!" then smiled and exited the room....he popped back in a moment later and added "with leather seats!" That Dr. D....he crazy!!

At Casey Elementary School on Camp Casey Jan. 14, students and parents take part in the school's second annual Math Madness workshop, which aimed to build math proficiency by using games and other activities to make the subject enjoyable for youngsters. In one of those activities, for example, competing groups had to use 20 strands of uncooked spaghetti and about a yard of masking tape to create the tallest possible structure that would support a marshmallow for at least 30 seconds without collapsing. - U.S. Army photo by Pfc.
