''We've been learning the sounds and mouth moves that letters make.
Sometimes, when you put 2 letters together, they make a special
Today, we're going to look at a pair of letters that make a
special sound.'' Review with class the
phonemes /w/ and /r/. Point out that the
when you put the sounds /w/ and /r/ together, you do not say /w/, /r/,
but rather the w is silent and only /r/ is pronounced.
2. ''The letter pair, or digraph, wr makes the /r/ sound, just like regular r. /r/ sounds like a growling dog. When we say /r/, pucker our lips so the sound comes out sounding just right. When you hear /r/, clench your teeth like a growling dog. I'm going to say pairs of words, and I want you to raise your hand and tell me in which word you hear /r/. Remember to listen for our growling dog! Do you hear /r/ in bear or lion? Write or type? Rust or shine?''
3. ''Now let's try a tongue twister. Say this with me: The wren turned the wrong way and had a wreck.'' (Students repeat tongue twister.) ''Great! Now let's stretch out the /r/ sounds. The wrrrren turned the wrrrrong way and had a wrrrreck. Let's say it one more time and clench our teeth like growling dogs as we say /r/. The w/r/en turned the w/r/ong way and had a w/r/eck.''
we're going to practice spelling words.
I need everyone to get out their letterboxes and letter tiles
and put their eyes on me. I'm going to
model how to spell a word. I'm going to
spell the word 'write', as in ''I am going to write a letter to my
grandmother.'' Wr-i-t-e.
I know that /r/ is spelled as wr in this word, so
I'm putting
wr in the first letterbox.
/r/ -/I/-/t/. I know that i comes
next, so it goes in the second letterbox.
Then /t/ which I know is a t goes in the last letterbox.
After the three letterboxes are filled, I know I have to add an
e after the last box because this
e changes what the
i says. I'm going to read some words that I would like
you to spell in your letterboxes.''
I will read the words individually and provide a sentence for
each word.
The following words will be spelled:
wren(3), wreck(3), wage(3) write(3), claim(4), wrong(3),
state(4), trend(5). I will provide the
number of letterboxes needed for each word.
I will circulate the classroom as students spell the
words. If students need help and are not able to self correct, I
will provide assistance. Students will then raise their hands to
read the words they spelled in their letterboxes off word cards.
''Now we're going to read Henry and Mudge in Puddle Trouble.
Henry is a boy and Mudge is his dog.
Henry and Mudge go on lots of adventures together.
In this book, Henry finds a special thing in after the snow has
come and gone, but Mudge gets confused and eats Henry's special thing!
Then, when it rains, Henry and Mudge have to find something to
do so they are not bored! You'll have to
read the book to find out what kind of trouble Henry and Mudge get into!
6. Students will write a message on primary paper, responding to the prompt, ''What is your favorite thing to do with your family?''
assess students, I will have them individually read
wr-words or pseudowords.
I will note miscues.
I will have them tell me whether or not they hear /r/ in spoken
and written words.

Peach and Raspberry Crisp
- Total Time:
- 1 hr 31 min
- Prep:
- 25 min
- Inactive:
- 5 min
- Cook:
- 1 hr 1 min
- Yield:
- 10 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- 4 to 5 pounds firm, ripe peaches (10 to 12 large peaches)
- 1 orange, zested
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 to 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 pint raspberries
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
- 1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the inside of a 10 by 15 by 2 1/2-inch oval baking dish.
Immerse the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then place them in cold water. Peel the peaches and slice them into thick wedges and place them into a large bowl. Add the orange zest, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss well. Gently mix in the raspberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. If there is a lot of liquid, add 1 more tablespoon of flour. Pour the peaches into the baking dish and gently smooth the top.
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, salt, oatmeal, and the cold, diced butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly on top of the peaches and raspberries. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator and reheat in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until warm.

Rep. McNerney honors fallen Oakland officers
WASHINGTON - WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Congressman Jerry McNerney has given a speech on the House floor honoring the four Oakland police officers who died in the line of duty last weekend.
Two of the four fallen officers, Sgt. Ervin Romans, a member of the SWAT team, and Sgt. Mark Dunakin, a patrol officer, lived in McNerney's district.
Authorities say Romans, Dunakin, Sgt. Daniel Sakai and Officer John Hege were fatally shot by a parolee, Lovelle Mixon, during what appeared to be a routine traffic stop that turned into a manhunt.
McNerney, of Pleasanton, honored all four officers, saying they "dedicated their lives so that we might live in safety."

A possible exception would be Natasia, who is always nasty and quick to allow entrance into her back door. A Zena/Damien Michaels finish, even with a close-up anal side trip, was just... there.

Great grill

Comments about Weber Genesis S-310 Natural Gas Stainless Steel Grill:
Finally replaced my prior Weber, after 23 years of use, with this fantastic product.
Comment on this review
Great grill w/natural gas!
By Grill Lover
from Chicago, IL
Follow me
If you are concerned about the amount of heat vs. the propane version, worry no more! This bad boy CRANKS. I own the propane version also (diff house) so I know. Love the rapid heat up and great searing too. I had an outdoor natural gas line already stubbed in so this was an easy install. I only needed one small part to go from the 1/2" NPT gas line to the 3/8" NPT flex gas line from the grill. The only thing I am not crazy about is the stainless grate (vs. cast iron), but it is growing on me. Great sear marks on steaks for sure.
The Grill Works Very Well

The Grill is easy to use, starts up like a champ and cooks nicely. I still have the old Weber kettle for certain meals, but for the price S-310 does what is advertised.

WEBER makes a superior commercial grill
By avenger59
from Brooklyn, NY
I was replacing a WEBER Silver B model which had nothing wroung other than an abundance of grease. It was 13 yrs. old. When I saw the box it came in, I thought their was going to be a hundred pieces and a two day assembly process. Not so. Instructions were fairly straight-forward, and everything matches and assembled with ease. By the way, as expected, the parts are made of very good quality materials and it is plain to see the thoughtful engineering that went into designing this mode. It will cost you more than twice as much as the average competitor, but worth it. You'll need to go through 2 or three grills, before this one needs replacing.
Great Grill

About Me Master Griller
Love this grill. Beautiful, solid design. On first use, grilled some steaks and didn't really like how the stainless cooking grates seared. They don't retain heat as well as the porcelain-enameled grates, so I picked up a set of those and I'm happy again. Grill gets VERY hot, upwards of 700 degrees with all 3 burners on high. Cooks food beautifully, and I'm very satisfied.
Abt delivery was awesome. Delivered assembled, instructed on how to use it, especially for the first time. Abt customer service was stellar as always.

Biffle's crew chief Tryson, Roush Fenway part ways
Biffle's crew chief Tryson, Roush Fenway part ways
Biffle's crew chief Tryson, Roush Fenway part ways
DAVIDSON, N.C. - Pat Tryson and Roush Fenway Racing have parted ways, effective immediately.
Tryson, 43, was most recently crew chief for Greg Biffle and the No. 16 team but moved to that operation at the start of this season after a three-year partnership with Mark Martin on the No. 6 Roush Fenway Ford. Tryson and Martin made the Chase for the Nextel Cup all three season and finished third, third and ninth in the point standings.
"Greg's awesome. Anyone that can't work with Greg is crazy," Tryson said. "He's a great guy and a great racer. If we don't wreck four times, and the brakes don't go out at Martinsville, we'd be in the top five. None of the cars are running well. Matt (Kenseth)'s finishing good, but he's not running well.
"Roush has been good to me the three years that I've been there. Things just haven't gone well for us this year."
After Roush-Fenway experienced an uncharacteristically off-year in 2006 with just Kenseth and Martin qualifying for the Chase, the organization has not shown dramatic improvement this season. While Kenseth, the 2003 Cup champ, continues to persevere -- with an assist by one of the strongest pit crews in the sport -- Carl Edwards is just barely in the top 10 in points and Jamie McMurray trails the top 12 by 46 markers. Biffle is four points behind Martin, who has missed three races this season and rookie David Ragan, 26th, is nine points outside the top 25.
Tryson said that his phone has been ringing since he received the news Tuesday afternoon, including a call from a top 10 driver. DEI had expressed interest last season in having Tryson crew chief the No. 15 with Paul Menard, but Tryson, who has worked with Roush for most of the last decade, stayed to oversee the No.16 Ford, which is currently 16th in the point standings. DEI VP of competition Richie Gilmore said he'd still be interested in bringing Tryson aboard.
"I think it's a very good possibility," Gilmore said. "That's a guy that we have talked to in the past, and we'd certainly talk to him again."
Tryson added that Chris Andrews, who was formerly with Evernham Motorsports, would be the crew chief for the No. 16, but Greg Erwin's name has been mentioned as a long-term solution. Gene Nead replaced Erwin last week as the crew chief of the No. 7 Robby Gordon Motorsports Ford. Gordon said Wednesday morning that he "would not hold Erwin back if another crew chief position came along."
Re: Biffle's crew chief Tryson, Roush Fenway part ways
Roush says timing was right for crew chief change
CONCORD, N.C. - Team owner Jack Roush says he has been having conversations with crew chiefs about taking over the role with Greg Biffle's team even before the team struggled in the Nextel All-Star Challenge race last weekend.
While he pointed out the Pat Tryson, who was replaced as crew chief for the team by Greg Erwin on Wednesday, has been good for both the Roush Fenway Racing team and the sport, he said that it was time for a change.
Erwin is working as an advisor to the team this weekend and will take over as crew chief prior to the Cup race at Dover. Chris Andrews will call the shots for Biffle in this weekend's Coca-Cola 600.
Roush said that when Mark Martin's tenure with the team ended last year, Tryson asked the owner to release him from the final year of his contract. Instead, Tryson ended up moving over to Biffle's team, which has yet to win this year and is 16th in the standings.
Roush said that a breakdown of the relationship between Tryson and the engineering side of the team led to the decision to do something that might
make the car perform better.
Roush says that he wasn't just looking at Erwin, who worked as Robby Gordon's crew chief earlier this year, but rather that he didn't want to wait until later to make a change aimed at making Biffle more competitive.
"I was looking at more than one person," he said. "I had three people in the mix, and Greg was actually the first person that I talked to, and then we pursued another course because he wasn't available at an earlier date. To give a little bit of an answer, there was some urgency after last Saturday, so it was a matter of time.
"I preferred to go in and pull the trigger now for the longest race of the year, and with it being at home here, I preferred to do it now and went on and did that. It was my call."

Antroid said: Returning to the topic of sky tiling, map15 has some in the secret exit. I presume if there's other "sky hole" things throughout the wad there might be some in any of them... Does anyone except for me feel that they are worth fixing? Or should we just leave sky hole exits like that? We did fix a couple already (in maps 22 and 27 for example). Also, this. I have some renewed enthusiasm to do a map or two for a project like this one, and I don't remember what Jay said about it last time it was brought up...

Antroid said: Maps 14, 20, and 21 also have relatively minor cases of sky tiling in the exit holes, and MAP18 has a pretty horrendous view into the empty sky above the exit. That one REALLY needs some sort of fence on the side that is visible from the window above (left side if looking at the exit, the window is on the right). If kongming is declared unavaibale, I can do that in his place.

Hi everyone, I'm often asked how to pick out a good djembe, so I wrote an article on how to choose a djembe drum for djembefola.com. I hope you'll find it helpful.
Paddy Cassidy Tasumakan - djembe and dunun learning system
Greetings, pretty good article, Smileys. African drumming is part of my teaching. Gerry Zaragemca
International Club of Percussionists
Cool, thanks Gerry for checking it out. What kind of African drumming do you teach?
Greetings, I teach and play, Djembe, Ashikko, Djum djum, Darbuka, Bata, Talking Drum. But I do not really teach Bata. Gerry Zaragemca
Cool. Do you teach individual lessons or group lessons/workshops, or both?
BTW, djun djun is the Senegalese (or Wolof) pronunciation, whereas the Malinke or Bamana would call it dunun, dounou or dun dun.
I have been teaching since de 1980's when I came to Houston. I did set up a Drum Ensemble, since, 1997 with my students until they went their own musical, or carreer way. Gerry Zaragemca
Nice article. I'm sure newbies will find it plenty helpful, and there's even some stuff in there for some of the veterans. Thanks.
Dr. Tom The Drum Doctor
drtom - 15 August 2012 04:15 PMNice article. I'm sure newbies will find it plenty helpful, and there's even some stuff in there for some of the veterans. Thanks.
Thanks Tom! You might also enjoy my jembe lessons (http://www.djembefola.com/lessons). They're geared toward the veterans more than toward newbies, although I have more beginner-level lessons coming soon. Let me know what you think!
All the best ~

Comedian Mike Birbiglia to perform at Orpheum Theatre in May
Comedian Mike Birbiglia will bring his "Thank God For Jokes" tour to the Wichita Orpheum in May, theater officials announced Monday.
Birbiglia, known for his personal, often awkward storytelling style, will perform at the Orpheum at 7:30 p.m. May 16. Tickets are $35 and $40 and go on sale Friday.
Birbiglia has made more than 40 network television appearances on late-night talk shows and is a regular contributor to National Public Radio's "This American Life." He has released four albums, including "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" and "My Secret Public Journal," which USA Today named one of the best comedy albums of the decade.
In 2012, Birbiglia directed and starred in a feature film adaptation of his one-man show, "Sleepwalk With Me."
According to tour information, his "Thank God for Jokes" tour features more painfully awkward stories, including arguing with a stranger about her nut allergy, hosting an awards show for angry celebrities and learning that Fozzie Bear is a tough act to follow.

*Please be kind, Don't zero if you don't like drum intros. thank you! If you do not like drum intros please feel free to skip to 1:04!!!*
*This is an NG cut, it has been cut to fit the listening standards of most users in the NG community, especially those who do not like drum intros.*
Hello everyone! I am back again with another track I put together. This time I go for an electro approach. I also got new drum samples from the Xfer Sample CD I ordered, so this is some fresh new stuff.
I am starting to use a lot of square oscillators for my productions and thanks to Propellerhead's Reason 4 I am able to synthesize the sound i am looking for. I try not to use sidechaining too often but I just can't help myself. :) Please enjoy! Comments and rates MOST welcome.

Well, i can certainly say that I took my time with this one.
New bunch of settings for my Pod, turned down inputs on mixer and EVERYTHING like a complete audiophile. hahaha....
I spent ages getting Volume levels, EQing and Compression right - Basically made sure absolutely everything in this mix flows together nicely and DOES NOT CLIP.
The tune was basically an idea for a riff I started out with which was inspired partially by Melodeath bands like Scar Symmetry, Soilwork and Disarmonia Mundi.
You can find the original riff here: http://www.newgrounds.com /audio/listen/184612
Thanks for listening critters! Please don't zero vote if you know what's good for you! ;)
hugz & kissies
- Xeno
Updated cymbal and hi-hat volume and EQed the toms so they're 'hearable'. ;D
Also, here is a Lossless FLAC version of the song: http://www.mediafire.com/
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Dude, what are you using to make this wonderful music of epic proportions?!?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Well, I have to say this feels alot like a bit of a change from the usuall material you post up, but then again it might be because of the effort you put in this one. I don't know, but either way, you nailed this song with expertise, precision and and a dose of your own personal awesome.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Good melody
A metal song that has it's rhythm and yet is not aggressive. I really like this and I hope do more songs like this one.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
the opening riff of this is used in unfathomable cycle of life x2, in the middle part of that song the riff is like an octave lower. but not a bad useage of the same idea and still make it sound different.

Is My New Rome Artifact 1985 Defective? [Pictures]
I just got my new Rome Artifact 1985 in and when I was bolting on my bindings I noticed the tail and nose are at noticeably different heights. The Artifact as everyone knows is supposed to be a a true twin tip, so this seems like a manufactures defect to me. Being that this is their first reverse camber board I can see more reason to think that it could be a defect, but I could be wrong. From the pictures below you can see that the nose and tail have about 3/4" difference in height. To rule out any difference in height caused by the board sitting uneven on the desk, I put my hand on the top of the board to ensure that the measurements are accurate for both the nose and tail. Let me know what you think. If you also have a Rome Artifact 1985 please check you board and post pictures.
It won't let me post a direct link to the image because I don't have enough posts yet. Copy and past the link below to view. If you have enough posts please insert it into the thread. |

hmm, im going to assume its how they were made, but i am not positive..im going to check there measurements and see if i can find anything for you
your rocker looks pretty even under each binding, so im not sure if it would be worth sending it back. they are supposed to be identical. maybe someone else can chime in and say if its worth sending back, i say not. Last edited by jmacphee9; 12-17-2008 at 12:58 AM. |

An old media classic has gotten a new media update. TV Guide has released a new app for the iPhone that features personalized watchlists, instant streaming, and social check-ins. Networks and advertisers have already started looking at the numbers to make decisions about programming and ad placement.
On the new mobile app, viewers will be able to watch shows instantly through ABC, ABC Family, Crackle, CW, Hulu Plus, HBO GO,and iTunes. An "I'll Watch" button helps viewers connect with the rest of the community to talk about their favorites.
The main draw of the app is the watchlist, which allows users to check off show titles to get updates on the ones they already like or are interesting in seeing. More than 500,000 viewers have created watchlists since TV Guide first released the feature.
The actors are also getting involved with curated watchlists from What's Trending's Shira Lazar and videos from Tina Fey, James Van Der Beek, and Sigourney Weaver.
But don't get too excited yet. According to CNET, "The feature, however, is currently far from perfect. I added David Lynch (always my favorite test) and found a number of episodes of "Twin Peaks" scattered hodgepodge, with links to iTunes and Hulu Plus, along with movies like 'Eraserhead' and 'Blue Velvet,' but TV shows weren't collected into a single 'Twin Peaks' show icon. Clicking the Hulu Plus link on these shows didn't successfully launch the episode in Hulu Plus, either: I received the Hulu Plus message 'an error has occurred.' Also, for some odd reason, my David Lynch page has dozens of episodes of 'The Cleveland Show.'"
TechCrunch notes that "While a lot of the focus has been on the consumer experience, the new TV Guide app also has some benefit for advertisers. TV Guide has created opportunities for new ad units that go beyond just banners, including video showcases, branded content, and even sponsorships for its 'Add to Watchlist' button."
According to BetaBeat, "AdAge has started regularly publishing Watchlist data, like which new fall shows have been added, but Ms. Tanner said TV Guide is waiting until it gets 1 million users before they start building a recommendations tool off of the results. For now, however, the data helps TV Guide lockdown advertisers since the company is able to approach specific shows and entice them to advertise if a show is a popular, or if it isn't. (Based on advertising revenue, TV Guide Digital has been profitable for the past two years.)"
In fact, TVGuide.com sees 25 million unique visitors every month, an audience that has grown significantly from 4 million readers in 2006. Despite the publication's long history, the readers are mostly under 35 years old and view 22 pages each per visit. As for the mobile app, the first generation was downloaded 7 million times on both iOS and Android devices.

Congregation filled with hope at 1st service since church collapse
UPDATED 5:23 PM CDT Aug 10, 2014In its first Sunday service since a wall collapsed at a Kansas City church, the pastor said there was a lot of hope and gratitude that no one was hurt.
Video TranscriptNOW PROTESTERS ARE DEMANDING ANSWERS FROM OUTSIDE THE SUBURBAN LEWIS POLICE STATION. MEMBERS MET FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY SINCE THEIR CHURCH COLLAPSED. DOZENS OF CHILDREN AND TEACHERS WERE INSIDE AT THE TIME. HEAVY RAIN IS CAUSING THAT TO COLLAPSE. MATT EVANS HAS MORE ON THEIR JOURNEY. AS THE CONGREGATION MOVES FORWARD SO DOES THE WORK HERE ON THIS CHURCH AT INDEPENDENCE AVENUE. PART OF THAT PROCESS IN MOVING FORWARD IS GATHERING TO WORSHIP AS THE CONGREGATION HAS DONE EVERY SUNDAY. THEY WILL MOVE TO A DIFFERENT CHURCH AS CREWS TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY GOING TO DO WITH THIS ONE. THE FEELING AT THAT SERVICE WAS ONE OF HOPE. LEADERS SAY THEY ARE ALL THANKFUL THAT EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE CHURCH SANK FULLY -- CHURCH SAFELY. THE CHURCH HAS BEEN THERE FOR 13 YEARS. THIS WEEK HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT. IF IT IS NOT AN EASY WEEK. WE ARE THE MIRACLE. WE THANK GOD FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE FOR US. LATER THIS WEEK ENGINEERS WILL BE DETERMINING WHETHER THEY CAN SAVE THIS BUILDING OR IF IT WILL HAVE TO COME DOWN. REPORTING LIVE MATT EVANS.

The chapter also discusses different types of data relevant to patient care and their usefulness for evaluating the continuity (and quality) of HIV care and access to supportive services. The relative merits of each type of data are discussed, as well as whether the differences among data types (in particular claims data and clinical data) "encompass gaps in measures for HIV care" (statement of task question 1b). The chapter ends with the committee's conclusions and recommendations for "the most critical data and indicators for gauging the impact of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (ONAP, 2010) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act [P.L. 111-148] in improving HIV/AIDS care."
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) letter report Leading Health Indicators for Healthy People 2020 (IOM, 2011d, p. 8) defined the term "indicator" as "a measurement" and "leading health indicators" as "quantitative expressions of health-related concepts that reflect major public health concerns." For the purposes of the present report, indicators of HIV care and access to supportive services are defined as quantitative expressions (measurements) pertaining to the state of HIV care and the availability of supportive services for PLWHA (and subgroups thereof) in the United States. "Core indicators" are those indicators deemed by the committee to be fundamental both to assessing the extent to which persons diagnosed with HIV are connected to appropriate medical care, are maintained in care over time, and have access to needed supportive services in the United States and to gauging the impact of the NHAS and the ACA in improving HIV/AIDS care.
Indicators may include process measures and outcome measures. Process measures pertain to processes of care, such as regular visits for routine care, lab tests and screening performed, and therapies initiated. Outcome measures pertain to the actual health outcomes or status of patients. Mortality and morbidity are ultimate outcome measures for tracking access to quality HIV care for people diagnosed with HIV. Intermediate outcome measures include CD4+ T-cell counts (CD4 counts) and plasma HIV RNA levels (viral loads), which reflect disease progression and infectivity. Process measures are important indicators of quality of care and treatments received, which research has shown are directly associated with good clinical outcomes (Kitahata, 1996; Kitahata et al., 2000, 2003; Landon et al., 2005). For example, regular monitoring of CD4 counts implies good-quality HIV care, with the expectation of good outcomes.
Indicators often are defined in terms of a percentage, proportion, or other relative measure and are not synonymous with the data elements

Opposed-piston engine
An opposed-piston engine is a reciprocating internal combustion engine in which each cylinder has a piston at both ends, and no cylinder head.
Early first opposed piston engines[edit]
In 1882 James Atkinson developed the Atkinson cycle, a variant of the four stroke Otto cycle. The first implementation of this was arranged as an opposed piston engine, the Atkinson differential engine.[1]
Opposed piston engines using the two stroke cycle are known to have been made by Oechelhäuser as early as 1898,[2] when a 600 hp 2-stroke gas engine was installed at the Hoerde ironworks. These engines were made by Deutsche Kraftgas Gesellschaft from 1899, and by other companies under licence including William Beardmore & Sons Ltd in the UK.[3]
Smaller versions of opposed piston engines suitable for motor vehicles probably begin with the French company Gobron-Brillié around 1900. In April 1904 a Gobron-Brillié car driven by Louis Rigolly and powered by the opposed piston engine was the first car ever to exceed 150km/h with a "World's Record Speed" of 152.5km/h[4] and on the 17th July, again driven by Rigolly, the first to exceed 100 mph for the flying kilometre.[5]
The first diesel engine with opposed pistons, was a prototype built at the Kolomna plant in Russia. The designer Raymond A. Koreyvo on November 6, 1907 patented the engine in France, then displayed the engine at international exhibitions. After these demonstrations similar engines were produced by other companies. Koreyvo filed a claim against these companies which was rejected by the Kolomna plant as the managing director did not want any quarrels with influential foreigners. In the USSR, the opposed piston engine was used only after meetings with German aircraft makers, Junkers, relating to the Jumo 205 opposed piston diesel engine. In the USSR locomotive diesel engines adapted American Fairbanks-Morse designs. These engines were also used in military boats, set out under the world war two Lend-Lease contracts.[citation needed]
Opposed piston engines should not be confused with flat engines, which are horizontally opposed with one piston per cylinder, and cylinder heads.
Some variations of the opposed piston or OP designs use a single crankshaft. The Gobron-Brillié,[5] and Doxford ship engines[6] used a crankshaft at one end of the cylinders and a crosshead for the opposing piston. The crank throws for each end were often unequal giving a shorter motion for the end having the higher reciprocating weight in order to help balance.
The Commer TS3 3-cylinder truck engines (originally designed by Tilling-Stevens) have a single crank beneath the centre of the cylinders with both pistons connected by levers.[7] This type of engine configuration dates at least back as far as 1914, as a 2-stroke petrol engine referred to as the "Simpson's balanced two-stroke" was described in the Motor Cycle magazine of this date.[8] This design used crankcase compression, and used one piston to uncover the transfer port, and another to open the exhaust port allowing the fresh charge to flow from one end of the cylinder to the other, thereby avoiding the need for deflector crowns for pistons used in most 2-strokes at that time. The levers operating the pistons allowed for a large piston travel with smaller crank throw.
A more common layout uses two crankshafts, with the crankshafts geared together, or even three geared crankshafts in the Napier Deltic diesel engines. The Deltic uses three crankshafts serving three banks of double-ended cylinders arranged in an equilateral triangle, with the crankshafts at the corners. These were used in railway locomotives and to power fast patrol boats. Both types are now largely obsolete, although the Royal Navy still maintains some Deltic-powered Hunt-class mine countermeasures vessels.
The first opposed-piston diesel engines were developed in the beginning of the 20th century. In 1907, Russian Raymond Koreyvo, the engineer of Kolomna Works, built an opposed-piston two-stroke diesel with two crankshafts connected by gearing. Although Koreyvo patented his engine in France in November 1907, the management would not go on to manufacture opposed-piston engines.
The first Junkers engines had one crankshaft, the upper pistons having long connecting rods outside the cylinder. These engines were the forerunner of the Doxford marine engine, and this layout was also used for two- and three-cylinder car engines from around 1900-1922 by Gobron-Brillié.[9] There is currently a resurgence of this design in a boxer configuration as a small aircraft Diesel engine, and for other applications, called the "OPOC"[10] engine by Advanced Propulsion Technologies, Inc. of California.[11] Later engines, such as the Junkers Jumo 205 diesel aircraft engine and today's Achates Power engine, use two crankshafts, one at either end of a single bank of cylinders. There are efforts to reintroduce the opposed-piston diesel aircraft engine with twin geared crankshafts for general aviation applications, by both Dair and PowerPlant Developments in the UK.[12]
This configuration has also been used for marine auxiliary generators and for larger marine propulsion engines, notably Fairbanks-Morse 38 8-1/8 diesel engines used in both conventional and U.S. nuclear submarines. Fairbanks-Morse also used it in diesel locomotives starting in 1944. With the addition of a supercharger or turbocharger, opposed-piston designs can make efficient two-stroke cycle Diesel engines. Attempts were made to build non-diesel 4-stroke engines, but as there is no cylinder head, the bad location of the valves and the spark plug makes them inefficient.
Koreyvo, Jumo and Napier Deltic engines used one piston per cylinder to expose an intake port, and the other to expose an exhaust port. Each piston is referred to as either an intake piston or an exhaust piston depending on its function in this regard. This layout gives superior scavenging, as gas flow through the cylinder is axial rather than radial, and simplifies design of the piston crowns. In the Jumo 205 and its variants, the upper crankshaft serves the exhaust pistons, and the lower crankshaft the intake pistons. In designs using multiple cylinder banks, such as the Junkers Jumo 223 and the Deltic, each big end bearing serves one inlet and one exhaust piston, using a forked connecting rod for the exhaust piston.
The Doxford Engine Works of the UK designed and built very large opposed-piston engines for marine use. These engines differ in design from Jumo and Fairbanks-Morse engines by having external connecting rods linking the upper and lower pistons, thus requiring a single crankshaft. The first engine of this type was developed by Karl Otto Keller in 1912. Doxford obtained a sole UK license from Oechelhauser and Junkers to build this design of engine. After World War I, these engines were produced in a number of models, such as the P and J series, with outputs as high as 20,000 horsepower (15,000 kW). Certain models were license-built in the US. Production of Doxford engines in the UK ceased in 1980.[6][13][14]
Assembly and function[edit]
Shown at right is the layout of a two-stroke engine similar to the one developed by engineer Kurt Bang at the Prüssing Office on the basis of the pre-war DKW race engine. There were two versions: one with a displacement of 250 cm3 (15 cu in), and one with 350 cm3 (21 cu in) displacement. The engine had two cylinders with four pistons, two crankshafts and a supercharger. The crankshafts were connected by gears.
The supercharger takes in the fuel-air mixture, compressing it and pushing it into the airbox. From here it reaches the crank housings. On the outlet side it cools the thermically high loaded piston. After ignition the pistons move outwards, performing the power stroke. At first, the outlet piston opens its slots in the cylinder. The remaining pressure accelerates the gas column towards the exhaust. Then the other piston opens the inlet slots. The pressurized fresh mixture pushes the remaining waste gas out. While the inlet is still opened, the outlet is closed. The supercharger forces additional gas into the cylinder until the inlet slots are closed by the piston. Then the compression stroke starts and the cycle repeats.
Production ceased in 1998, but the U.S. and British militaries still purchase re-manufactured engines on occasion.[citation needed]
Free-piston engine[edit]
A variation on the opposed-piston engine is the free-piston engine, which was patented in 1934 by Raúl Pateras de Pescara. It has no crankshaft, and the pistons are returned after each firing stroke by compression and expansion of air in a separate cylinder. Early applications were for use as an air compressor or as a gas generator for a gas turbine, such as the Pratt & Whitney PT1 design. There is now renewed interest in it for powering vehicles by using it to drive a linear alternator.

The FDA is now investigating birth control pills (like Yaz) and blood clot risks. The new investigation was issued after two recently published studies showed that women who used birth control that contain drospirenone were more at risk for blood clots.
So far, the FDA is not recommending women who are taking birth control pills that contain drospirenone, like Yasmin and Yaz, to stop taking the pills. The FDA is instead advising that women should talk to their healthcare providers first before they make any changes to their birth control.
The FDA also urged women who had any symptoms like persistent leg pain, severe chest pain or sudden shortness of breath to contact their doctor immediately.
The two studies had shown that the risk for blood clots, or venous thromboembolism (VTE), was 2-3 times higher for those women who were taking pills that had drospirenone, reports the Washington Post.
The two studies were produced by Boston University School of Medicine and were published in the British Medical Journal, according to the Boston Globe.
If investigation into these birth control pills reveals truly dangerous risks to women, could any of women currently on birth control sue the drug companies?
Maybe. While the drugs are currently approved by the FDA, a FDA approval does not automatically grant drug manufacturers protection against potential lawsuits if the drug is proven to be defective.
But, some of a drug company's liability may be reduced if they warned consumers and medical practitioners about the possible dangers of using the drug. Drug companies are not required to warn consumers about dangers that they do not know about. If the manufacturers of these birth control pills had no idea about the increased risk for blood clots, then it's possible they can't be found liable.
Still, birth control like Yaz and blood clot risk is nothing new. In fact, it's considered a widely-known side effect, though this news of a possible increase in risk is definitely keeping the FDA on high alert.

Ion chromatography (IC) with conductivity detection has been used successfully to determine anionic and cationic substances as well as polar compounds such as amines and organic acids. However, in environmental samples, higher sensitivity and selectivity are required to test for potentially toxic substances with low maximum contaminant levels (MCLs).
The coupling of IC with multidimensional detectors such as electrospray ionization-mass spectrometers (ESI-MS) or inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) solves even complex separation problems, simultaneously achieving high sensitivity and selectivity. Additionally, these hyphenated techniques allow unambiguous peak identification and are less prone to matrix interferences than conductivity detection.
Especially in light of the zero tolerance policy concerning chromium, arsenic, and selenium compounds in drinking water and mercury in food samples, ICP-MS detectors have gained increasing importance. IC-ICP-MS can distinguish between different oxidation states and chemical forms of a given element. This approach is called speciation analysis. From a toxicological point of view, individual concentrations of element-containing species are far more significant than total element concentrations because different valence states of an element often have completely different properties. For example, while chromium(III) is an essential trace element for mammals since it is involved in glucose metabolization, all forms of hexavalent chromium are regarded as highly toxic and carcinogenic.
Arsenic is found ubiquitously in a high number of minerals, and its use as a weed killer and rat poison illustrates its high toxicity. Inorganic arsenical derivatives are considered to be carcinogenic and possibly teratogenic. Therefore, the U.S. EPA proposes a maximum allowable drinking water concentration of 10 ppb. In environmental and biological samples, more than 20 arsenic species have been identified. Depending on their binding characteristics, they have different toxicities and chemical properties. Based on structural data, IC-ICP-MS allows separation and unambiguous identification of different arsenic species in inorganic and organic forms.
Mercury is found in several forms, particularly as elemental (Hg), inorganic (Hg2+), and alkylated mercury (CH3Hg+). Of the most common mercury species found in the environment, methylmercury is considered the most toxic species. It is classified as a neurotoxin that rapidly bioaccumulates and can cause major health problems or death, even in small quantities. According to the U.S. FDA, the major exposure pathway to methylmercury in humans and wildlife is through consumption of contaminated fish. The U.S. EPA stipulates a reference dose for methylmercury (Rf) of 0.1 µg/kg of body weight per day, while the World Health Organization (WHO) has set a tolerable dose of 1.6 µg/kg of body weight per week.1
However, mercury species are prone to interconversion. Mercury shows a pronounced transformation from inorganic mercury (Hg2+) to the biologically active and highly toxic methylmercury (methylation) and vice versa (demethylation). Similarly, the extraction techniques used for separation and preconcentration tend to alter the original distribution of mercury species, which affects the legal defensibility of the data.
Speciated isotope dilution mass spectrometry (SIDMS) has been developed to correct for species conversions. According to U.S. EPA Method 6800,2 each species is labeled with a different isotope-enriched spike in the corresponding form. By measuring the isotope ratio of both the unspiked and spiked sample and knowing the isotopic ratio of the addition, interconversions between the species become traceable and can be corrected.
This article discusses the determination of organic and inorganic arsenic and mercury compounds by means of IC-ICP-MS. Arsenic species (monoisotopic) are not prone to interconversion and are thus determined by traditional speciation analysis. Several established extraction techniques used for mercury speciation in biological samples are evaluated by applying both internal SIDMS and external calibration.

The chart below is designed to show you the value of saving on a regular basis and the benefit of compounding interest. *

Unlike a contribution to a Traditional IRA, Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible. However, when you withdraw money from a Roth IRA, none of it -- and that includes the interest -- will be taxed, assuming that the Roth IRA has been open for at least five tax-years and you are over age 59 ½. If you withdraw money before the age 59 ½, an IRS penalty will apply.
* The chart above is based on an Annual Percentage Yield of 4.29%. Yields may vary with a First National Bank of Durango IRA.
First National Bank of Durango Account Information: Interest is compounded daily for all IRA accounts. Fees may reduce earnings. There is a $500 minimum balance required to open an IRA. The First Flex IRA interest rate is variable and subject to change at any time without notice. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal. Please see a Personal Banker for complete details.
