Track & Field Starts with Good Showing at Hawk Relays
The Hawks Track & Field Teams had impressive starts for this year's season, as Canyon Lake jumped off into the year with an improving motif takes shape as each passing week will culminate with the District 28-4A Meet in April.
There were 14 schools in attendance for the all-day festivities as each running event had athletes running not knowing if their time would be good enough for placing.
Kenneth Jowers moved up to 3rd place in the Hawk 100 meter event as he started his year with a 11.31 dash.
Chance Martelli shaved a second off his previous 400 meter best while moving up to 5th place on the all-time Hawk list. Matthew Bell moved up on the Mile Run by improving his time by 8 seconds and now resides in 7th place in that category for Canyon Lake.
In those throwing events, Jacob Foster and Bradley Hight both entered the top 10 for Hawk Discus participants, now holding in the 7th and 8th spots respectfully.
Nic Rivera also entered the top 10 category in both of his hurdle runs with his 110 meter hurdle race having him standing in 8th place while breaking the 17 second barrier. This event is one of CL's stronger events but with Basketball playing this Tuesday, there are 3 hurdle athletes and Brandon Courtney was being held out for precautionary reasons.
This will be a fun event to keep tabs on with so many quality athletes in competition not only at each meet but in their every-day practices.
On the Ladies side, Canyon Lake was not at full strength but there were many good things seen for this year as Skylar Hurst headlined that point by beating her previous best 400 meter run while getting close to breaking that 60 second time and just missing after a 1:00.37 run. Hurst did take over a record that had been held by Caitlyn Collins since her 2010 year for the 200 meter dash.
Hurst scored half of the varsity points as many other mainstays were missing. Sophia Thorpe comes to mind as a great runner from past years that was not in attendance.
Adia Garcia had a good day with her throws as she moved up to 2nd place in the discus for all-time accolades.
The Hawk Junior Varsity was well attended as Madison Churbe helped the team to a 2nd place finish with an individual score of 33 points. Churbe's 100 meter dash is now in 2nd place, trailing current Junior Hawk Alysha Perez.
There were 7 Hawk Ladies that finished in double digit scoring as can be seen on the list below.
A lot of teams participating on a beautiful February day as it was a long day that needed many volunteers.
Most track meets will have 6-8 teams which will allow the events being able to pair down the best 6-8 students running against each other in that one race. That was not in the cards on this crowded day as many races had athletes competing against a clock as well as their group in that particular event.
There are still a lot of ironing out as this year starts to get long in the tooth for that eventual district meet.

In spite of all the pains and troubles, almost every woman recalls her pregnancy as the happiest time in her life. However, every future mom is looking forward to the due date and, of course, tries to calculate it as accurately as possible. But not everyone knows that there are nuances in the process of calculating how long a full-term pregnancy is.
A full-term pregnancy: how long are you going to wait?
How much time does a full-term pregnancy take? Unfortunately, it's impossible to calculate due date with 100% accuracy. The date your doctor tells you is the estimated date of delivery (EDD).
There are cases when the expected due date matches the actual one. But all these cases are nothing but a coincidence.
Even if the woman knows for sure the dates of the conception and the ovulation, it's impossible to determine the speed of the sperm, the number of days the fertilized egg goes through the Fallopian tube, when exactly it implants into the uterine wall, and how much time the fetus needs for its full development. The baby will be born when they're ready.
Due to the fact that the organism of any woman is individual, these processes take a different course in each specific case. Medical experts use the average standard which is customary to rely on.
So, how many weeks is a full-term pregnancy? Scientists have counted that in 80% of the cases there are 266 days between the moment of conception and birth, so it makes up 38 weeks. But the main difficulty of this calculation lies in the fact that, as a rule, expectant mothers don't know the exact day of the conception.
The last period is easier for a woman to remember, that's why this particular date has been taken as a starting point. Thus, there are usually 40 weeks since the last period till the day of the delivery. That's why obstetricians usually tell that the full-term pregnancy lasts 40 weeks or 280 days.
However, the woman couldn't get pregnant on the first day of her last period, so the due date doctors calculate according to this information is approximate. It's called estimated (or menstrual) due date.
In fact, the real fetal age is about two weeks less. This term is more accurate. It is called ovulation (or fertilization) age. In order to determine the due date as precisely as possible, future mothers need to calculate the date of their ovulation.
How to calculate the ovulation date?
It's hard to believe, but every month there is only one day when a woman can get pregnant. In very rare cases, a woman can have two ovulations during the same month.
There is a simple method of calculating the ovulation date without any additional devices. It's already been proved that absolutely every woman has ovulation 14 days before the first day of her monthly period.
If the menstrual cycle is 28-days-long, the ovulation happens on the 14th day after the first day of a period.
This method is indeed very simple. However, it has one disadvantage – this method is suitable only for those women who have a regular menstrual cycle. Besides, you can calculate the ovulation date only when you have the exact schedule of your cycles during at least half a year.
There is even more: in particular cases, the ovulation can happen a bit earlier or a bit later. But if you choose the approximate ovulation date as a starting point of your pregnancy, it turns out that the average pregnancy lasts 266 days (280-14=266).
That's exactly why medical experts call a pregnancy which lasts from 266 to 294 days (or from 38 to 42 weeks) a full-term pregnancy.
It's not hard to notice that 280 days (40 weeks) make up 9 calendar months.
However, obstetricians have their own method of counting months. According to them, a full-term pregnancy lasts 10 months. Why is that so? An obstetrical month is also a so-called "lunar month" which is 28-days-long. This is the very amount of time a menstrual cycle of the majority of women usually takes.
What factors have an influence on a full-term pregnancy?
First of all, the state of a future mother's health affects the course of a full-term pregnancy. But there are also other factors, for example:
- Heredity;
- The psychological condition of a future mother;
- Fetal development;
- The intrauterine state.
If the case of a premature birth, as well as a prolonged pregnancy, there are additional threats of adverse birth outcomes, which can affect the mother's and the baby's health in the negative.
These conditions can be caused by neuroendocrine disorders, past illnesses, and previous abortions. Statistically, prolonged pregnancies are usually experienced by those mothers who have been treated for the risk of a miscarriage. A prolonged pregnancy is a pregnancy which lasts longer than 42 weeks.
Prolonged pregnancy
The causes
A lot of expectant mothers fear premature birth more than a prolonged pregnancy. However, in fact, a prolonged pregnancy is very dangerous.
Medical experts still can't tell where exactly lies the reason for prolonged pregnancies. They usually highlight two main factors of the problem: medical and psychological.
According to the medical point of view, the cause of the problem lies in the physical unreadiness of the woman to give birth. It can be explained by the following factors:
- Late maturity of the cervix;
- Uterine muscles' disorders;
- Fetal development problems;
- Hormonal disorders;
- Endocrine and gynecological diseases of the mother;
- Uterine pathologies;
- Hereditary issues.
There is more: the pregnancy term depends on the future mother's age. The prolonged pregnancy usually happens when a woman gets pregnant for the first time after 35.
All the reasons which could be included in the medical aspect are detected with the help of additional examinations and tests. But the psychological aspect often causes difficulties.
Sometimes, a future mother is psychologically not ready for childbirth. The main reason for it is the unconscious fear of the process of the delivery. The expectant mom can be afraid of the pain or the possibility of losing her baby, slowing down the beginning of the natural childbirth process.
The very first signs of a prolonged pregnancy are a reason worth a consultation with an expert. After an additional ultrasound, a specialist will be able to evaluate the state of the placenta, amniotic fluid, and, of course, the baby.
If the ultrasound shows the traces of meconium in the amniotic fluid or there are problems with the baby's heartbeat, the doctor makes a decision to cause childbirth or perform a C-section.
Don't argue with your healthcare provider in this case because the consequences of a prolonged pregnancy can be serious!
The aftermath
40% of the prolonged pregnancies end in placental insufficiency. As a result, it's unable to provide the baby with necessary nutrients and oxygen.
During a prolonged pregnancy, the fetus often gains excess weight which, of course, makes the delivery more complicated.
20% of babies born after a prolonged pregnancy have the so-called "post-term pregnancy syndrome" when skin problems appear.
The baby's body has too little subcutaneous fat which slows down their growth. Besides, the risk of birth injury increases after the 42nd week.
Most often it is Erba paralysis, broken limbs or collarbones, and brachial plexus damage.
In this case, the woman in labor also faces certain risks, such as:
- Perineal damage;
- Uterine injury;
- Obstructed labor;
- Postpartum hemorrhage.
There is a reason why a post-term pregnancy is called "pathological", after all. So, if you want to avoid an unfortunate outcome, you'd better turn to a doctor in time.
However, you shouldn't forget about the inaccuracy of due date calculations. As we've mentioned before, plus or minus two weeks to your term is a normal occurrence. You shouldn't worry before the 42nd week.
It's more beneficial for you and your baby to get physically and psychologically ready for childbirth. During this period of time, future mothers need a good rest.
Childbirth is a stressful event for your organism, that's why you should spend enough time sleeping. A lot of women attend pregnancy courses where experts tell how to act during the delivery.
Nowadays, there is also a lot of information on the issue online – search for any question you're concerned about: knowledge will make you more confident and dispel your unnecessary fears.
And, of course, you should remember that after childbirth you'll meet the closest and the most important to you person – your dear little one!

When going through Ruby 101, you won't need to do much research before you come accross the use of the
attr_accessor methods. There are several flavours of this;
|gives you a getter and a setter
|just gives you a getter
|just gives you a setter
Here's a code example of this functionality being used;
class Person attr_accessor :name, :age end #above class definition enables the following p = Person.new p.name = "Mikey" p.age = 30 puts p.name
Magic. It's almost like you've somehow managed to add two more methods to the person class without defining them. Well, it turns out that this is exactly what you have done! For anyone who is not used to dynamic programming languages (and I include myself in that list) this can be a really tricky point in the learning curve. This sort of functionality is used all the time in ruby, and not only within the context of attr_accessors – The Rails framework, for example, uses dynamic code to allow you to add very complex functionality to your ActiveRecord classes with a single line of code.
If you are anything like me, then you can't just take the fact that it works for granted! I needed to know *exactly* how this sort of thing is possible! This post will clear up exactly how this attr_accessor magic works by showing you how to make your own version of the same functionality.
Dynamic code is created using a series of "eval" methods which the ruby language makes available to you. There are several flavours (eval, instance_eval, class_eval, module_eval) – the one we'll be using here is class_eval, which you basically use to add code to a class. As we will be trying to create a method that will be accesible from all classes, we will need to add our code to the Class class (not a typo!). This is going to get a bit headswimmy, so I'll just go ahead and show you the code itself then discuss it below.
class Class #firstly, the * decoration on the parameter variable #indicates that the parameters should come in as an array #of whatever was sent def mikeys_attr_accessor(*args) #We simply iterate through each passed in argument... args.each do |arg| #Here's the getter self.class_eval("def #{arg};@#{arg};end") #Here's the setter self.class_eval("def #{arg}=(val);@#{arg}=val;end") end end end
The above code allows a new class to be defined as follows;
class Person mikeys_attr_accessor :name, :age end
Which in turn allows you to write code like this;
person = Person.new person.name = "Mikey" person.age = 30 puts person.name puts person.age
A lot was going on in the first code example, but the rest of it functions exactly as you would expect attr_accessor to function. The focus here will therefore be on the first bit of code. So it all starts off pretty basically, we are able in ruby to extend any class simply by using the class keyword. We then add the method "mikeys_attr_accessor" to it, using a bit of ruby syntactic sugar to allow this method to receive any number of arguments. It's worth pointing out that we should really check that these arguments were symbols, but as this is a simple example I'll skip that part.
Next we iterate through each argument and make two calls to the "class_eval" method. The message we send to this is basically just an interpolated string representing the code we want included in our object. Yes, I did say object – you might raise the question at this point as to why I'm using the word "object" when we are clearly adding a method to a class. You might also question the presence of the word "self" before the "class_eval" call, surely this would mean that we have somehow managed to create an "instance" of a class?!
This was pretty much the point, while learning Ruby, that I lost cabin pressure.
class Person end Person.class => Class
The capital letter at ths start of Person indicates that it is a constant. Person is constant instance of the Class class. As you've instantiated the Class class in your Person class, you need to use "self" on the class eval to make sure that the class_eval method is talking to the Person instantiation of the Class class. You may need to read the previous sentence a few times before it sinks in (if you feel your ears starting to bleed, contact your GP immediately).
A better question is that, if this is the case, why is class_eval used instead of instance_eval? the short answer to that is that it has to do with scope and context. If you are interested in learning a bit more about metaprogramming, i found the following question over on stack overflow to be incredibly useful. Lots of great links from the respondants.

This bonkers escape room game take place within a scecret rooms of The Depot pub in Islington, guaranteed to provide you and your team with a whole lot of fun and silliness as you take on the 60 minute challenge of the twisted toy-maker Poppa Plock.
Guided by OKI, the outrageous ventriloquist dummy, your team must complete Plock's penultimate creation by taking on the crazy clues, contraptions and characters within.
Click here to find out more about the game!
Moments from Caledonian Road and Kings Cross , the Depot is a hidden gem of a pub. A high-roofed boozer in a Victorian industrial warehouse named after the originator of London's buses, it boasts a wide range of craft beers, ales and top notch food. If you really want to make a night of it there's live music and DJ's every weekend as well as the renowned Pleasance Theatre above the pub. Awesome combined drink and game offers available.
Poppa Plock's Wonky Workshop, the second masterful creation of Handmade Mysteries, is led by the wonderfully odd Liam.
Ever since being raised by Motley Crue in the back of their stage truck whilst on their '94 tour of Australia, Liam has always known what it means to give the people what they want.
He's spent tiresome years trying to find that perfect chasm between the delightfully weird and the frighteningly delightful and, by all that is mighty, has he gone and done it.
Pop down to Poppa Plock's Wonky Workshop and give it a go…you've definitely never done anything like this before!
5 min walk from Caledonian Road Station (Zone 2 Piccadilly Line).
Routes served by this stop:
All; 15, 25, 67, 115, 135, 205, 254, N15, N205, N253, N550
If you're coming from Calendonian Road station, take a left out the station and go over the bridge. At the end of the bridge take a left again and you'll have a large office building on your left and a few trade shops such as Toolstation on the your right. After a 5 min walk you'll find the Depot Pub tucked away on your left handside

Whether or not US President-elect Donald Trump behaves better once in office than he did on the campaign trail, America's global authority has already diminished, especially in Asia. It is unlikely that Trump will be able to walk the careful line that effective leadership in the region demands.
US President-elect Donald Trump's rise threatens to incite a revolution that shakes the foundations not only of American politics, but also of global peace and prosperity. One region that is likely to start feeling tremors soon is Southeast Asia.
Collapse of UK-led blocking group puts Chinese steel in Brussels' sights
One major casualty of Donald Trump's victory in the bruising US presidential election is, without a doubt, America's soft power around the world. It is a development that will be difficult – perhaps even impossible – to reverse, especially for Trump.

Folr: You Have One New Follower
A further addition to my James Bond-esque arsenal of apps I'm currently acquiring (and possibly the coolest one yet) comes in the form of a tracking device. A brand new, free app for iOS and Android, Folr is a geo-location, permission based monitoring system that allows you to track the whereabouts of your loved ones in real time. Utilising a sleek, simple interface, Folr is a genuine step forward in our modern age of interconnectivity, using contemporary technology to provide a practical safety tool for concerned parents, husbands, wives and friends. Or indeed wannabe supersleuths.
Folr allows you to track people in your phone's contact list, as long as they consent and are signed up to Folr themselves. So the developer's main focus is not anonymously spying on vague acquaintances, but family security. If you're a parent that has to leave their children in the hands of semi-strangers for the work day, Folr is sure to provide you with peace of mind, allowing you to check in with the nanny whenever you like and make sure everyone's where they're supposed to be. It will even send you unobtrusive updates on the movements of your chosen target. The parent-child demographic is undoubtedly where Folr will make its biggest mark, and the list of applications in different situations is vast. Make sure the kids are at school? Check. Make sure they caught the bus OK? Check. Or we can turn it on its head as this train runs both ways; make sure Mum's at work and not sipping gin on the stairs? Check. Make sure Dad's on his way to pick you up when he said he would? Check. The advantages are obvious!
The system also provides peace of mind for concerned spouses or other halves when their partners are away or abroad. There's a slightly shady side to proceedings with this dynamic, obviously, but largely it's going to be more useful than not. You can also use Folr to check in with elderly relatives who may be living on their own or keep tabs on friends who might be around your neighbourhood for a drink.
There are also less obvious uses for the app in a wider social and economic sense. With its inbuilt ability to create and designate 'Zones', schools and institutions could utilise it as a sort of role call, by marking the boundaries of a campus. But the thing that caught my imagination (while tying in nicely with my imagined Bond persona) was the unique 'History' function. Imagine for a moment being faced with the horrible reality of a missing loved one. Wouldn't it be handy to track their last known movements? Indeed, this app might provide you with their definitive last known movements, or even give you a clue as to their current whereabouts. Folr allows you to do this, and could be a great aid in times of urgency and distress.
All in all, Folr is a practical, well intentioned app that can provide genuine peace of mind for people concerned about their loved ones. It's free, contains no advertising, and is not associated with any third parties, so if you feel like a little more security in your life, you should definitely give it a follow.
Download Folr for free on iTunes or on Google Play.

Winter Testing Season at Ram Truck
In places like Houghton, Michigan and Bemidji, Minnesota, Ram Trucks is gearing up for the Winter Testing Season. As the degrees dip below zero around this time of year and snowfall begins to be measured in feet instead of inches, the engineering teams at Ram Engineering are beginning to ready Ram trucks for a run through the frosty elements as a means of identifying the durability to ensure that they hold up perfectly. This takes place around the same time every year.
The primary reason that the Ram Engineering team waits until it becomes so chilly is due to the fact that the conditions need to be close to the extreme in order to account for any situation that a customer or operator of a Ram truck might find themselves in. Three of the core areas these are evaluated in include the ability to start immediately, warm up in a quick manner and run just as well as normal in such settings.
Standard testing for these vehicles takes place in a number of facilities situated in Michigan and Arizona, which happen to be the two primary proving grounds of Ram. It is there that full examinations occur, which investigates practically every aspect of the models offered by Ram, aside from how they perform during extreme climates.
The Cold Trip, referred to as such by Ram Engineering, travels to Houghton, Michigan for one portion of the winter analysis and Bemidji, Minnesota for the other. Houghton is typically utilized for the blizzard-like weather that tends to persist in the area around this time of year. Bemidji, Minnesota is used by the Ram Engineering team mostly for its exceedingly cold temperatures, as Ram trucks are actually left to sit in this chilled air for lengthy periods of time in order to assess if they hold up well under such cold.
In the first phase of this inquiry, the Ram trucks are taken through large amounts of slush. In order to create these types of roads, it must be around 28 degrees outside. Once this has been reached, de-icer is spread onto the covered roads in order to bring them to a thick mixture. This is done during the day so that the night can bring it to a slightly more solid state that makes it more difficult to drive on. The slosh will begin to become encased in ice and settle around brakes and fuel lines, as well as other components.
In order for this to take place, the Ram Engineering team takes them onto the covered roads during the daytime and then places them into a refrigeration facility during the night hours, which is set to 20 below zero. As the truck is initially built to withstand any hard freeze that develops wherein certain components will become iced, this will help to make sure that they were built correctly. Once the morning comes, engineers hold an inspection to ensure that everything still works as intended, including the engine, the windshield wipers, the rolling mechanism of the windows and the defrosting system.
The next phase is known as the Arctic Blast. This pits the Ram trucks against extremely low temps, high winds and ice to see if the trucks can withstand it. The Ram Engineering team takes a large amount of trucks and drives them in-line for several hours on end. They will change positions, with the leader incorporating what is known as a "drag" move designed to spray snow and ice onto the others behind. Throughout this check, components like the defrost system, lights and windshield wipers will continuously be switched on and off to ensure that they are in working order. The reason this is so important is because many will begin to suffer from clogged air intake that can adversely affect different aspects of the truck. Ram trucks have a system in place that pulls air from an inlet under the hood when this occurs, which allows for any water and other liquid to be cleared from the system.
The Ram Engineering team also uses this time to determine the plowing capabilities of the trucks that are routinely used by plow operators. The reason for this is due to the fact that the 2500 and 3500 Ram trucks are highly popular among plow operators. Both of these come with an optional package that includes every accessory and add-on that an operator would need. During this phase, greater than 10,000 tons are plowed in an effort to assess whether or not they are working as intended for such an operation. Since tires can't generally gain much traction when plowing, 500 pounds of extra weight are added to the bed of the truck over the rear axle. This is done to see if the standard tire pressure can hold up well when taken over low-traction instances.
All Ram trucks come with a bevy of additional features designed to assist operators during the wintertime. SiriusXM Travel and Traffic are available, with a 911 call system included as well. Ram trucks provide additional access to a remote start key fob that will automatically turn on the defrost system, as well as a heating system for the steering wheel and seats. Different bed options provide extra traction, while the rear window includes a defroster and power sliding. Overall, there are many more features available in these trucks that may come in handy when traveling during the winter.

Women are Blessed at Home
Home is a wonderful respite from the world. It's a place to rest, to relax, to feel at peace. It's a place to feel safe and sheltered from the world. It's a place to make as close to Heaven as possible.
What a beautiful occupation the Lord has given us. What a holy calling, to make our homes a bit like Heaven on earth. What a joy to wake up every day and minister to our husbands and children here in the safety and security of home.
How the Lord cares for us in telling us to "be keepers at home" and to "guide the house". We have a special calling that a man cannot and does not have! It is to us women, and us only, that the Lord gave this task.
I feel so blessed to be able to be at home, taking care of it and all the occupants here. Each day brings its new challenges, and sometimes surprises, but how wonderful when we can start our days in thanksgiving to God that we have a home here on this earth, and to ask the Lord for His help with the day ahead as we serve Him as we serve our families.
We can bless our families by making home a peaceful place. We can play lovely music, read God's Word, have a pleasant and lovely voice and demeanor. We can speak with kindness and smile at our husbands and children. We can make our homes lovely with decor and keep them clean and tidy. We can cook lovely meals for our families that also nourish their bodies. We can train our children up in the ways of the Lord, teaching them to love Him with their whole hearts. We can be a loving support to our husbands, giving them our appreciation and admiration, and of course taking care of the things at home is a great relief to them!
What a wonderful job we have, that we don't have to go out to work to bring home the living, nor do we have to deal with co-workers, time clocks, nor bosses. We are very blessed, indeed, ladies. Let us wake up with these thoughts in our minds every day!

Which of these symptoms will meds help?
Hi all... my 9 year old daughter is in the final stages of receiving a diagnosis of ADHD-PI. She has finished a psychoeducational assessment, and it has been implied that this will be the diagnosis, although we have not received official results.
We plan on combining drug and non-drug treatments. But out of curiosity... does medication help with symptoms like the following?
1. When you ask my daughter a question, she literally immediately answers. Usually with something that doesn't make sense. Eg: Did your teacher come to school today, or was she sick again? Her answer: What teacher? She only has one teacher.
2. My daughter seems like she has issues with her memory. Some days she just cannot remember what she did at recess. Or maybe it seems like it is just too much work to think that far back. In fact, anything that requires any amount of thought is often too much to ask of her.
3. Conversation: She is almost impossible to have a conversation with, as she changes the subject so many times to something so random, that even I often forget what it was we were talking about!
4. Mental math: This is a big part of our school curriculum. She does excellent on problems you can work out on paper (though she very, very often makes careless mistakes, at least I do know for a fact that she understands what she is doing.) If you ask her to work something out in her head, and if that something requires more than one step, she will forget the answer to step one immediately, after moving on to step two.
5. Sports: My daughter says she loves sports. Her favourite thing to do. Yet, she pays no attention during instruction during practices and games. She regularly is not aware which way the play is going, and gives very minimal effort.
These are just a few random thoughts... We are anxious to get started on helping her. To be clear - We are not looking for/expecting a miracle. We plan on working with our psychologist to come up with different strategies to help our girl. Just curious.
Thanks in advance!

Kasey, it sounds like she has brain fog like my son. I can say a resounding YES, the meds help. If he has been off them for about a week he reverts back to this brain fog where it's like talking to a drunk person.

Re: Which of these symptoms will meds help?
There are a lot of symptoms that meds will help.
Meds can help with all of this. None of it has a magic cure but it can really help.

Re: Which of these symptoms will meds help?
1. He didn't know when tests were, he got the study guide in class but just assumed it wasn't the next day = failing grade
2. Didn't hear teacher give homework
3. Swore on his life "She never went over any of that stuff in class that was on the test"
4. Didn't know the months of the year, or what order they were in to be more precise.
5. I asked him to go get me the scissors from the kitchen. 10 minutes later I walked by the kitchen and he's standing there with no idea why he's there.
6. I have the urge often to wave my hand in front of his face to see if anyone is really in there because I feel like I'm talking to a chair.
7. I have to repeat things 3 different ways and times and have him repeat it back if it has any hope of being done.
8. He has forgotten his glove, bat, batting gloves, ENTIRE BAG, and clothes at the baseball fields. If something was left in the dugout coaches ask him first if it's his.
9. He preheats the oven and then leaves the fish sticks on the counter for over an hour, they never make it into the oven.
10. I can't tell you how many times I've opened the microwave to a FULL bag of popcorn in there. He just forgets.
Re: Which of these symptoms will meds help?
She has left her book bag at school (and not just once)
She will ask me for a bowl of cheesies 5 times in a row, and each time I answer yes, but she keeps asking. Finally pours herself a bowl of cheesies and walks away. I eat the cheesies after she is alseep. Haha
I'm so hopeful for some improvement... because these things make me crazy (especially when it comes to school)
Re: Which of these symptoms will meds help?
kasey, the meds didn't make my kid a genius, but I didn't feel like I was talking to a chair anymore....if anything the meds allowed him to become more of a teenager because he understood more of what was going on around him.

Re: Which of these symptoms will meds help?
I can't speak to all the situations you describe, but when it comes to blurting out answers, or frequently changing the subject in the middle of conversations, medications definitely can help.
I also tended to annoy people by blurting something out in response to their questions or to something they're saying, often before they've even finished speaking. In many cases, they weren't asking what I thought they were asking or saying what I thought they were saying, because I responded too soon before they were finished.
And my tendency to go off on tangents or change the subject completely in the middle of a conversation was also a problem for me. People often felt like I wasn't interested in what they had to say.
But being on a stimulant (Vyvanse in my case) has made a big difference. As one person I came across online expressed it, the medication provides "a space between thought and action". In other words, I now often find that I have a second to think before I speak, a second that didn't seem to be there before I started my medication.
So, in that second, I have time to consider that maybe I should wait until some other time to bring up this other thing that just crossed my mind or that maybe the other person might be annoyed if I change the topic. And in that second, I might have time for the thought to cross my mind that maybe I should wait until the other person stops speaking before I respond. In any event, I find that I'm holding my tongue now much more often than I used to.

Re: Which of these symptoms will meds help?
Hi thanks for the feedback here. This question and the answers helped me a lot as well.
We go to the Ped tomorrow for the medication talk/journey. While my child does not have the blurting out in a classroom type of issue, I feel that she is not letting the speaker 'talk' or finish--meaning either she stops listening to the full conversation and then asks for a repeat, or answers incorrectly (not what asked); or she will imply interjects something negative or unnecessary which derails the conversation or makes her not even stay on the point of the whole point of the topic to begin with. This is turn, no surprise, turns into social misunderstandings and snafus. Her reasoning is tough and she is headstrong on everything. Also the executive function piece--well that is not even happening right now. I will be asking the doctor if puberty makes all of these ADHD issues magnified- because I swear that is happening here. The ADHD was livable with before..lol..
I had to spend at least 2 days rehashing because she was 'replaying the tape", as to why it is not normal/acceptable to complain (to the person )who invited a small group of 6 girls to her house, but not my daughter and her small group of friends. Her focus was that person X was invited (that my daughter knows or likes) but not her (or her friends). Mind you school just started 4 weeks ago..new school. There was no winning this argument with her. So my daughter decided to be the spokesperson to the host, as well as the group who attended, to ask why they were not invited ;/
And, I am not sure how mannerly she was in doing so. No amount of reasoning: she only wanted to invite 6 people, she didn't want to invite your group, maybe another time, etc...nothing worked. I am hoping the meds put a pause on this type of reasoning and stops her from making these kind of mistakes. I am mentally drained from every scenario she brings to me and the refusal to listen to any reason.
I have to admit I am worried about starting the right med, first time around. I know that is a normal worry and a bit of a joke request (who gets it right the first time around---- but I feel spent already. She has another issue (epilepsy) and the medication merry go round for that was a nightmare years back and though really stable, sometimes med tweaks happen. But it seems like yesterday. I feel I don't have the energy for any another medication very go round right now. Sorry for the rant, but I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Test Bench: B&C Speakers 21DS115 21-Inch Woofer
The transducer I examined in this edition of Test Bench came from Italian Pro Sound OEM manufacturer B&C Speakers, who sent the neodymium motor 21DS115, a 21" high power handling woofer. The B&C 21DS115-8 is rated at 1,700 WRMS with a continuous power handling rated at 3,400 WRMS. The 21DS115-8 weighs in at a modest (for an 21" woofer!) 32.8 lb.

Group dog walks can help your puppy be more adjusted, socialized and calm.
When is the right time for your puppy to go on a group walk?
Some believe 16 weeks or older. Other dog walking services request 6 months, passing IQ test and scoring 2400 on the SATS. All kidding aside, some require a training test for admissions into their exclusive private school for dogs.
My philosophy is public school dog walking with the option to suspend. A "TK" or "Transitional Kindergarten" program offered for puppies. I believe the sooner the better, which means 8 weeks old in a puppy pack or sling (a device that allows you to carry the puppy similar to a baby bjorn) or 12 weeks following their third round of vaccinations. Research shows 4 to 14 weeks is the most important time in social development for a puppy BUT you must be diligent and careful ensuring positive exposure.
Just like humans, a negative childhood experience damages a puppy for life. Still recovering from my Great Grandma Dot's fun game of kicking me across the room, I now fear old ladies with big feet. If done correctly, the benefits of early socialization are immense to a dog's psyche. Dogs starting in a baby pack at 8 weeks or 12-weeks- old, are the most confident, well socialized and happy dogs I walk.
PUPPY SLING/PACK: When an owner contacts me about their adolescent pooch, I suggest a puppy pack walk. It tires them out with visual stimulation and allows observations of dog interactions. When the little guy has completed his shots, the introduction to group happens with no issues, problems or fears. Half pint will trot along with the other dogs displaying confidence as if he has been doing this for years. He knows which dogs will play and can recognize the Great Grandma Dots of the dogs.
You can even employ one of the dogs to the do the heavy work! Just kidding, don't do that. It's cute though isn't it?
PUPPIES AT 12 WEEKS OLD: When a puppy starts at 12 weeks old, it is done carefully. A group dynamic of four mature gentle dogs guarantees successful socialization. These dogs teach by playing calmly building confidence and self esteem. Puppies learn how to behave in a pack. It is not a good idea to have another juvenile in the group as chaos will break out and the puppy will not pay attention to important learning situations.
SMARTER DOG: "Early socialization can make your dog smarter" says Patrycja Malinowska on puppy socialization. She writes about Stanley Coren's book "The intelligence of Dogs" that psychologists at the University of California at Berkley have shown that animals reared in enriched environments that included lots of toys, a complex architecture, other animals to interact with, problems to solve and constantly changing sources of stimulation, actually had larger and heavier brains than animals that lived in isolated, laboratory conditions.
LEARN TO TALK DOG: Early socialization enables your puppy to develop proper social and communication skills with other dogs. Your puppy learns to "talk dog." You might learn a few words yourself but refrain from sharing "wuff, wuff" with non dog people. You might find yourself with only friends with dogs, which actually is not a bad idea. Tell those annoying family members or non dog friends that you talk dog and then bark at them.
CONFIDENCE: In Matthew Gilbert's book "Off Leash", he writes about his puppy Toby. "Each time we went to the park, I felt as though I could see Toby growing up, growing more comfortable with in a social pack. I could tell Toby was getting the validation and self assurance from the other dogs that he would never get from humans. He started to develop a strut, a pop to his step, which intensified whenever he detected another dog nearby." These are the exact observations I witness with puppies that start group walks right away.
CALMER AND HAPPIER: When I see a young overly enthusiastic dog approach another dog to the point he can barely contain himself, that dog was not socialized at an early age. He bounds over as if he has never seen dogs. Dogs socialized at a young age, approach in a civilized manner. Children who have not been exposed socially to other kids show similarities to the boundless energy of a dog not socialized. A child in my twin boys preschool class was a wonderful little boy but lacked social interaction outside of school. When the parents finally allowed him to play at the park, he wrestled kids to the ground innocently hurting them and not quit understanding how to interact with them. The parents stood there bewildered until I explained kids are like puppies and need socialization. They did not "talk dog" and never called me for a play date.
EASIER TO TRAIN AND BETTER LISTENERS: As a mother of twin eight year olds, when tired from socializing with friends, they are better listeners and easier to train. Dogs are the same. A tired puppy is not constantly looking for the next thing to chew or destroy but makes eye contact with you listening to directions. Unless they are a Golden Doodle, then talk quickly getting the directions or training done in minutes before their ADD kicks into action.
Whether it is through a dog walking group or carrying your puppy around the streets of your neighborhood, the best way to raise a confident, happy puppy and according to Cal Berkley a smarter one, is to expose them to other dogs and the world at a very young age.
