Bread?

I decided to make some applesauce bread yesterday. I pulled it out of the oven. It both looked and smelt yummy. I turned the pan upside down and shook it gently, so that the bread would come out, a nice and neat looking loaf, on the counter. What happened?
The inside fell with plop on the counter, leaving only the shell still in the pan. The shell I had to gently free from the pan with a knife. As you can see it now sits on a plate.
And this is the bread that fell out of the pan with a plop. I think either something went wrong with the bread, or I didn't use enough oil with which to grease the pan.....

Oh, look! What's this?


The writer of Sowers Corner told me in a comment that she thought I had earned this award. I honestly don't see how full I am of integrity, as I hardly write any thing that makes sense. :) I feel quite honored to have this privilege.
I was told to pass this award on to five people, so I thus chose:

1. Laura's Area by Laura She is posting quite regularly and with integrity on her blog.
2. Corantolavolta (I hope I spelled it right) by Kirk and Jo. They are posting great book reviews full of integrity.
3. The Young Thinker (with a blog named like that, I don't have to explain why I chose Kirk).

Unfortunately, that is all I can think of right now.
All of these blogs you can find on my sidebar..... I don't have the patience to type out all the link attachments to those names, so if you truly wish to know what they are like, please scroll down a little bit. It will cost you only a second, and save me an hour. :)

Math

Kirk wanted me to post about all the interesting things I am learning in school, so I decided to start with math. This is the most recent thing I've learned about:

Slope-Intercept
y = mx + b

Intercept
The constant b is the intercept of the equation. B is the y-coordinate of the lie at the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.

Slope
The constant m is the slope of the line. The slope has both a sign and a magnitude.

I wish I could explain more, and have a graph to demonstrate on, but as I don't have the time to do so, may Kirk be content with this. :-)
