Patient Comments: Peptic Ulcer - Symptoms
What were your symptoms of your peptic ulcer?
Comment from: 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: April 06
3 days ago I began to have stomach pain that radiated into my spine. I had this last fall and went to urgent care. They did an ultrasound and results were that my pancreas was fine and so was my gallbladder, they did find I had a hemangioma on my liver non-symptomatic, not related to the pain. I had a CT scan to confirm that it was benign. Here I am again with this pain, I am guessing it is an ulcer, so I've been taking Prevacid (my 3rd day). The pain has gotten better but my stomach is sore to touch or when I push on the lower right area. I'm thinking it's because that area is still sensitive, should it already be better? Today I'm feeling a little tired, it's not like me to be tired in the morning, is this Prevacid? Yesterday I also took Maalox to help with the pain, but now I have diarrhea? Should I go to urgent care or wait to see my doctor next week? Is this consistent with ulcers?
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: March 31
My first symptoms were nausea and sharp pain under my breast bone, particularly at night. The worst pain would wake me up and usually lasted for 30 minutes or less. I was diagnosed with three gastric ulcers through an upper endoscopy. I was prescribed Nexium for 90 days, and that did a great job of controlling my symptoms. I tried to stop the medication after that time period, but the nausea returned. I am back on Nexium for the time being, but I will probably try some OTC options soon because of the expense.
Comment from: Mary, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 05
My symptoms started with black tarry stools, weakness and light headedness, but no pain. I went to my doctor, who said that I needed to be admitted to a hospital as I had internal bleeding from an ulcer. I was admitted on the same day and stayed there for seven days of treatment. I needed a blood transfusion - 6 units - as by this time I was quite anemic with hemoglobin of 6.5, when the normal reading is 12. I was given omeprazole for the ulcer. The endoscopy showed I had a duodenal ulcer. The ulcer was negative for h. pylori, and was induced by NSAIDs namely Naproxen. This medication was stopped to prevent further damage, and I was advised not to take anti-inflammatory drugs at all. The onset of this illness was very sudden, and required fast medical help, otherwise I could have literally died from it. This was a very scary experience for me.
Comment from: tomdabom007, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: September 12
I have been dealing with these ulcer problems for several weeks now, and was just diagnosed by a doctor. Before that I didn't know what the problem was, just that something was very wrong. My symptoms: Any time I ate a meal, I would soon develop an aching feeling in the upper right quadrant of my abdomen, and/or a burning, gnawing pain right below my breastbone, frequently followed by vomiting. The pain would last for from 5 to 8 hours. I have experienced kidney stones in the past, and if I rate that pain as a 10 (on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being no pain) then this pain could get as bad as a 7 or an 8.
Comment from: casper, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: June 29
Two years ago I too had some sort of burning sensation in my stomach; I consulted a physician who prescribed antacid for almost two weeks. After that I didn't have any sort of burning but the skin on both of my cheeks started drying up and turned itself into a sunburn like appearance. Immediately I consulted a dermatologist who prescribed some ointment. This never worked. At the same time my friends say that it's a symptom of the ulcer. I am in a dilemma these days, so can any body help me out.
Comment from: Flipper, 55-64 Female (Caregiver) Published: June 29
A few weeks ago I began feeling slight stomach pain, a dull ache, enough to make me aware and uncomfortable. I had never had any health issues before, this was totally out of character for me. I follow a very healthy lifestyle and eat veggies, fruits and only seafood. I began drinking excessive amounts of wine during the last few months. I did some research and determined that I might have created an ulcer due to this binge drinking. I have suspicions about the possibility of the H-Pylori (Helicobacter)and/or Vibrio parasite infection. I looked up stomach cancer and my symptoms are very similar to its diagnosis since I am burping after meals and never did this before. I'm very scared now and confused. Most cancers become fatal because early symptoms are usually ignored. Nexium and Zantak did not help the dull ache, in fact, when I discontinued them the ache went away, but I still burp and feel warmth in my stomach after I eat. I have been under stress as well. I stopped drinking completely and I suppose if this is an alcohol induced ulcer, it should heal in a few months. I guess if symptoms don't get better by then I will visit a gastroenterologist.

I'm used to writing javadoc-style comments for all the public fields and methods in my programs. NetBeans has this annoying habbit of checking how I spell everything in these comments. If it finds a word that it "thinks" it's not ok, it underlines it. I hate it and I want it gone. But I can't find any option to disable it.
Does anyone know any way of doing this ?

Signal Processing of the Compact-Cassette Digital Recorder
The signal-processing techniques for compact-cassette digital recording are of interest to those concerned with consumer audio equipment. A cassette digital tape recorder using a metal-evaporated tape has been developed together with a high-density ferrite head having 12 tracks of 120-µm track width and 0.3 µm gap length per channel. Specially designed digital signal-processing circuits include circuits for signal generation, modulation, error correction, and signal control. The digital modulation scheme called FEM-4 is a new and key item of the design. The practical design and system concepts are outlined.

Running Time: 120
Director: Roman Czernik
Company: Jet Set Productions
Distribution Companies: Marina Pacific Distributors
Cast: Ladislav, Ivo, Jan (II), Petr (II), Rohn, Vladimir, Lubomir (II), Robin (I), Jiri (I), Tomas (II), Lukas (I), Michal (I), Jaroslav, Stefan (II)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Should do solid business on your Foreign shelves.
Eastern European studs in hard hats and jeans manhandle big logs and blocks of wood. What's not to like? Well, there are a few drawbacks here. The sucking is pretty bad, with most of the guys barely getting dick-heads into their mouths. And a lot of the fucking close-ups show that there isn't much actual dick movement. But it's hard to be critical when there are so many gorgeous bodies with huge hard dicks to look at. These men are hot, hard, and have stunning cocks. So even with the setbacks, this will still get a rise out of viewers. The bottom in Scene 2 has a monster schlong that isn't even seen until the end (more of him, please!), while the big boner in the next scene gets some genuine moans out of the lucky bottom. Dick lovers will enjoy every moment of these seven scenes.

After Effects CS6 Essential Training
In this course, author Ian Robinson introduces Adobe After Effects CS6 and the world of animation, effects, and compositing. Chapter 1 introduces the six foundations of After Effects, which include concepts like layers, keyframes, rendering, and moving in 3D space. The rest of the course expands on these ideas, and shows how to build compositions with layers, perform rotoscoping, animate your composition with keyframes, add effects and transitions, and render and export the finished piece. Two real-world example projects demonstrate keying green screen footage and creating an advanced 3D composition with the expanded 3D toolset, an important addition to CS6.
- Setting up the workspace, important preferences, and the cache
- Importing footage and comps
- Relinking missing footage
- Creating type, shape layers, and masks
- Rotoscoping with the Roto Brush
- Adjusting keyframes in the Graph Editor
- Timing animations to audio
- Building backgrounds with effects
- Rendering with the Render Queue and Adobe Media Encoder
- Animating 3D type
- Smoothing shaky footage and retouching footage
- Keying green screen footage
- Working with 3D: extruding shapes, adding ray-traced lighting, and more

Hi, I'm Ian Robinson and I want to welcome you to After Effects CS6 essential training. Now, I've been using After Effects over 15 years to create dynamic motion graphics for broadcast. After Effects is the industry standard for motion graphics and visual effects artists. I like to call it my "Swiss army knife" for video post-production. In this course, we'll get started by familiarizing ourselves with the 6 foundations of After Effects. First, we'll cover compositions. So you understand how to properly start and build your projects.
Then, we'll jump into layers where we'll explore type, blend modes, and compositing techniques like masking and rotoscoping. After that, it's on to animation, where we'll cover the fundamentals of key framing and more advanced topics like how to refine your movements with parenting, expressions, and the pick whip. Then we'll explore some effects in order to stylize your projects. And sure enough, we'll follow that up with some time for lights, camera, and action as we jump into 3D.
To round out our 6 foundations, we'll learn about how to finish your project with rendering. And for you over-achievers out there, we'll definitely keep on going to explore advanced topics, like stabilizing shaky camera footage, 3D type, 3D motion tracking, and, of course, the new ray-tracing renderer. So look, I know that learning After Effects can seem daunting at first, but once you get your feet wet, I think you'll be surprised how quickly you'll be able to create some compelling and hopefully fun motion graphics. So, let's get started with After Effects CS6 essential training.

Staff Writer, Sports Illustrated
Ben Reiter is one of Sports Illustrated's and SI.com's lead baseball writers, but he has also covered the NFL, the NBA, soccer (including the 2010 World Cup in South Africa), college football, lacrosse, cheerleading, ice skating, horse racing and even competitive hula hooping. He cites his Feb. 23, 2009, cover story on Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels (The Fabulous New Life of Cole Hamels) as among his favorite SI pieces. (Reiter's work has graced the magazine's cover seven times and counting.) Another memorable assignment involved the Dec. 15, 2006, issue highlighting 50 years of SI's Faces in the Crowd section. Reiter traveled to Nashville for the Country Music Awards to interview Kris Kristofferson, who was a Face in the Crowd in SI's March 31, 1958, issue. He has more recently written colorful profiles of stars such as Yoenis Cespedes, Matt Kemp, Adrian Peterson, Yasiel Puig and NBA center-turned-club-deejay Rony Seikaly.
Reiter (pronounced – yes – writer) joined SI in 2004. Before that he was a research assistant for investigative journalist Wayne Barrett at the Village Voice and a researcher for the 2004 book America Alone: The Neoconservatives and the Global Order, by Stefan Halper and Jonathan Clarke. He graduated from Yale in 2002 with a b.a. in history and holds a master's degree in international relations from Cambridge.
Reiter, 32, resides in New York City. He is a regular guest on radio stations across the country, and in the fall and winter appears weekly as the NFL expert on the CNN International show World Sport. In January 2009 he was a contestant on the game show Jeopardy! He came away with the bronze. "I lost on the Final Jeopardy question, and will now never forget that Alfred Dreyfus was the person who began a life sentence on Devils Island in 1895, only to be released by 1899," he says.


text: First off, I'm going to make this formal. This is our goal to satisfy those that want their depth and others that want the "quickest glance" possible. We are changing how our analyses are formatted. A good example is the Milotic Analaysis On-Site ---------- Now with that, this forum is only for analyses that are on-site. THOSE THAT ARE NOT FINISHED OR STARTED W/UPDATES DO NOT NEED TO POST HERE. KEEP YOUR ANALYSIS IN ITS RESPECTIVE TIER FORUM! If there is a current Concise thread and you are the owner of it, feel free to "recycle" the thread. If you have reserved a Truncated Paragraph and someone else was Concising your work, please try your best to incorporate the changes within those threads. UPDATE: NEW STUFF FOR FUN! We were discussing a lot of things the other night about the way the analyses look like. So far, it seems that some people are liking the truncated paragraph idea; however, others have suggested that we try doing more with the Project "while we're at it". This isn't really a big deal, in my opinion, but in here I am going to present what we thought of the other night and hear some thoughts from it in here. 1) Merging EV and Other Option section From Ashley: 2) Moving "Opinion" to the top and renaming the section "Overview" Obi hindsighted this idea to us, and this also felt like a good thing to change. One thing that is for certain: the Opinion section explains the Pokemon briefly on its capabilities and / or strengths. It is, however, near the very bottom of the analysis which can lead a person to be mislead if they read the SET COMMENTS of another set and think "hey Farfetch'd doesn't sound that bad. The person who wrote this had some decent comments with it", for example. I think this is also a good idea and is not very difficult to implement either. I wish everyone the best of luck and "happy writing".

The management of Weimar, Inc., a civil engineering design company, is considering an investment in a high-quality blueprint printer with the following cash flows: 1. Determine the payback period of the investment. 2. Would the payback period be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times larger? The Heritage Amusement Park would like to construct a new ride called the Sonic Boom, which the park management feels would be very popular. The ride would cost $450,000 to construct, and it would have a 10% salvage value at the end of its 15-year useful life. The company estimates that the following annual costs and revenues would be associated with the ride:
1. Assume that the Heritage Amusement Park will not construct a new ride unless the ride provides a payback period of six years or less. Does the Sonic Boom ride satisfy this requirement? 2. Compute the simple rate of return promised by the new ride. If Heritage Amusement Park requires a simple rate of return of at least 12%, does the Sonic Boom ride meet this criterion? Martin Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. Relevant information concerning the

Communities to get EPA moneyFebruary 12,2013
BRATTLEBORO The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says one community in Vermont and two in Maine will receive technical assistance to pursue sustainable growth that encourages local economic development while safeguarding peoples health and the environment.
Brattleboro, along with Brunswick and Portland in Maine, are among 43 communities in 27 states across the country chosen to receive the assistance through the EPAs Blocks for Sustainable Communities program.
EPA staff and national experts will conduct one- or two-day workshops focusing on the specific sustainability goal each community chose in their initial application to EPA.
Some of the tools offered this year included projects called a Green Building Toolkit, Land Use Strategies to Protect Water Quality, and Using Smart Growth to Produce Economic and Fiscal Health.MORE IN Vermont NewsLea Davison, Team USAs best hope for an Olympic medal in mountain biking, loves to see girls on...

What started with a photocopied newsletter is now making comics history â make that an âultimate, all-encompassing history.â
John Morrow, one of the two Morrows behind the comics-journalism publishing house TwoMorrows Publishing (the other is wife Pam), was on hand at Comic-Con International in San Diego Thursday to announce a slew of new projects. The highlight: The âAmerican Comic Book Chronicles,â a multi-volume history series that will be published over the next few years.
Growing out of a discussion at last yearâs Comic-Con, âAmerican Comic Book Chroniclesâ will feature at least one volume documenting each decade since the modern comic book debuted in the 1930s. Two particularly busy decades of comic-book history â the 1940s and 1960s â are planned as two-volume releases. Each book will be full color and run around 300 pages, and will be written by a whoâs who of comics historians, including Roy Thomas, Bill Schelly, John Wells and Jim Beard. The books will be released as they are completed, not sequentially. The first book, dealing with the 1980s, will be written by Keith Dallas, who will also act as editor for the entire series.
Dallas hopes the first installment will be ready in time for next yearâs Comic-Con, though he says he and Morrow are in agreement that âthese books need to be âdone rightâ instead of âdone quickly.ââ Or, as Morrow puts it: âThe goal is to be the ultimate comics reference.â
While the âAmerican Comic Book Chroniclesâ was the big announcement from the publisher, it was far from the only news. Morrow ran through a slide show showcasing new and upcoming book releases, including âGrailpages,â âThe Comic Book Podcast Companion,â âAll-Star Companion Vol. IVâ (the last installment of this Roy Thomas series), âAge of TV Heroesâ (pending approval from Warner Bros.), âMarvel Comics in the 1960s,â and a new, updated edition of their âCaptain Actionâ book. The publisherâs âModern Mastersâ series also continues to go strong; the latest edition features Chris Sprouse, with Mark Buckingham, Darwyn Cooke, Guy Davis and Jeff Smith all scheduled for future editions. Other upcoming books include Sal Buscema and Carmine Infantino career retrospectives, and volumes meant to help fans see oft-maligned artists Don Heck and Vince Colletta in a new light.
On the magazine front, âBrick Journal,â a magazine for Lego enthusiasts, has proven to be the companyâs strongest seller, and will soon increase its frequency to bi-monthly. âBack Issueâ is the bestseller among the companyâs comic-related magazine offerings, and future plans include issues dedicated to monsters, military and family. âAlter Egoâ and âDraw!â also continue as usual. Not all of TwoMorrowâs magazines are quite so lucky, with Danny Fingerothâs âWrite Now!â and Bob McLeodâs âRough Stuffâ coming to an end (both creators will continue to do work for TwoMorrowâs other publications).
The final magazine on the publisherâs roster is one Morrow refers to as âmy babyâ: The Jack Kirby Collector. According to the companyâs website, Morrow and wife Pam originally started TwoMorrows as an advertising firm in the late 1980s. In 1994, when Jack Kirby died, Morrow felt moved to release a simple, photocopied newsletter about the King. Thus the Jack Kirby Collector was born â and the publication caught on quickly.
âThings snowballed from there,â writes Morrow on the website. He says publishing now makes up about 70 percent of TwoMorrows total business.

Genre: Specialty
Hand job fans, guys who like women with filthy mouths, pre-plastic surgery Bridgette Kerkove fans.
Handjob Hunnies 2 reminds you that while it's okay to love yourself, it's even better when someone does it for you.
Thirteen scenes of women doing what men usually do on their own, and usually sans female company. Though hand jobs do occur in the video, there's also a fair amount of cock-sucking and dirty talk in many of the scenes.
One of the best examples of this is Layla Jade's scene. Let's face it - there's just something about English women talking dirty. It sounds so much more... cultured. Jade giving a hand job (which is like gravy, in this scene) is no exception. "If I get to keep on wanking you like this, I get to play with your creamy cum," she says. Yeaahh baby! Julie Andrews couldn't have said it better.
A close second would be Nikita Denise's scene. With her deep voice and Eastern European accent, it makes her dirty talk (in between her cock-sucking) that much better. One expects her to ask "Boris dah-ling, what about Moose and Squirrel?" at any moment.
Houston also treats the viewer to a filthy mouth, literally and figuratively, with lots of eye contact to the camera. It also looks like she's fingering the stud's asshole in the scene, but this is never clearly seen. The always-adorable Candy Cotton gives a very enthusiastic hand job to a lucky pud.

You won't go off the deep end stocking this import. Multiple copies recommended. More than just a novelty.
"From the top of Yoshio's engorged sword his man juice is flowing and when I sip it..." Aaaagh! This video, with side-splitting translations appearing at the bottom of the screen, is like reading a dirty book with the good parts underlined. That is a real quote from one of a trio of really cute and young Asian wenches who are lying around on the beach, nude and masturbating. Whoever translated this has a real sense of humor, 'cause the next comment is "If you have time to masturbate, why don't we go get fish...." You get the idea. And they are on Hekoia Island which, we are told, translates to Fart Island. These subtitles tend to be funny as hell. Intentional humor? Hard to say.
This scene cuts to one of the most challenging things I have ever seen on video: can you imagine a girl, underwater wearing scuba attire, stripping naked (except for a weight belt and long-ass air tube connected to the tanks) and dodging stingrays? Gulp some air; blow the guy. Repeat. Many times. She is then part of a foursome underwater with doggie the primary position. Ever see bubbles from an underwater pussy fart? Maybe that is why it is called Fart Island. Crystal clear water and decent underwater videography are also bonuses.
The three gals also do the dudes on the beach and, later, indulge in a hot orgy back in civilization which includes d.p. action and a virtual free for all.

Wonk Unit + Slaves + Elmo & The Styx
This event was moved from Mello Mello.
Wonk Unit
Former members of The Flying Medallions bring gritty punk dudes with attitude. Front man Alex Brindle-Johnson is a modern day renaissance man, a plasterer by trade, he is also published author - having written a book during his commute to and from various London building sites. As Wonk Unit, they deliver a healthy dose of punk rock cynicism and bitter irony. ""One of the most unique bands in modern punk rock" - Art Rocker. "Wonk Unit are arguably the future of punk rock" - Louder Than War.
Wonk Unit tour dates
An explosive duo from Kent, Slaves are making a lot of noise as an unmistakably British punk act. They have gained a lot of attention for bringing raw and exciting performances that have a distinct lack of pretentiousness in a British music scene flooded with bands that are leaning more and more towards American-centric influences.

If wooden parts are binding, will silicone spray lubricant cause bare dry wood to swell? The wood is not maple or oak or birch. It is some type of softwood, maybe fir or pine. The bearing surfaces are not painted or varnished, just bare wood.
A dry silicone spray lube is fine for bare wood applications. If you apply the spray to a cloth then wipe it on the binding surfaces, you should not have any problems with swelling. you can also use furniture polish, but in many cases, polish uses a silicone base as well with wax. Wax can build up, so I like pure silicon best.
As with any application to unfinished wood, test a small inconspicuous area to check for possible discoloration if the surface is visible.
I have never used silicon spray lube. But it should say what it's used for on the back of the container.
You didn't really say what the object is that's binding. More than likely, it's a drawer? Wax would be a very good alternative to use for your problem.
Why is it binding in the 1st place? It could be because the timber has moved since moisture in the air. Witch has made it to tight.
More than likely it is pine, since it's used in a lot of furniture.

Personalized Learning and Understanding by Design: First Grade
This week I was introduced to yet another way of teaching...Personalized Learning. I thought that Understanding by Design was a huge but rewarding undertaking, but OhMiGosh!!
When I first learned about personalized learning, I thought that it was just differentiating skills between learning styles and the multiple intelligences...you know, giving kids the choice to learn the content in whichever way they like best (Musical, Verbal, Written, etc.).
With Personalized Learning, we will no longer be teaching whole group and then moving into differentiated groups. No more "sit and git"! No more "falling through the cracks". Our students will move through each standard little by little until every aspect of that standard is mastered.
Personalized Learning begins with the LEARNER!
What skills do they know already? Where do they need to go?
I'd like to think of it as a pyramid:
The top of the pyramid is the starting point and the bottom (or near bottom) is mastery. Students take a pretest at the beginning of the unit and based on those results, they are placed on a certain level of the pyramid. If Johnny did great on his pretest, then he will start toward the bottom of the pyramid. His learning will be challenged...just like we said with Understanding by Design but now, the focus is on the learner:
"LEARN a mile deep and an inch wide"
INSTEAD of
"LEARNING an inch deep and a mile wide"
OhMiGosh!! Complete epiphany! This totally makes sense! Right??
Johnny (who did great on his pretest) will stay on the same standard as everyone else but he will be able to dig deeper by completing challenging activities, games, or a project based learning assignment.
For Suzie, who didn't do so great on her pretest, would start toward the top of the pyramid and work her way down toward mastery.
As a teacher, I know your mind is absolutely boggled right now! Like, how the heck am I going to get all of my students to learn if they are all at different places on the pyramid...I'm only one person!! Well that's where the rest of personalized learning comes in. Students are put on a "pathway" where they will work at their own pace through the standard. Each pathway is kind of like a road map (in the pyramid) or a video game, where each level needs to be mastered before moving onto the next level. Once all levels (or until your expectation of mastery) are completed, they complete enrichment activities until you are ready to move onto the next standard.
As I sat through this Personalized Learning training, I didn't know how this would work in my classroom. My colleagues and I thought that a good place to start was with the standards and the developmental process that students should go through each standard. And then....
This is where I'm thankful for Understanding by Design!!
We have our UbD units planned out in a developmental sequence with all of the activities . Now, all we have to do is take the UbD sequence to make the learning pathways.
Last year was a learning process for my grade level because the teachers at my new school had never done UbD units before. We basically took all of my previous units (created back in 2012-13) and revised them. At the time, we still used Investigations Math so some of those resources were added throughout the unit. Some components of the UbD were updated: advanced assessments, and a new journal entry process; Some components were added: Paideia Seminar, exit tickets, and a scoring sheet. Check out our October math unit from last year (2014-15) on addition, subtraction, and word problems. Click on this link to download the 38 page file for FREE.
The next step toward my Personalized Learning process will be to take our UbD units that were created last year, and drop those activities into a pathway.
As summer is coming to an end, I am excited to get to work on these pathways and see how it all turns out in the classroom. I'm scared about trying something new, but change cannot happen without being scared.
I'm sure you know where I'll be the rest of the summer! HA! I will be posting my Personalized Learning resources and pathways here when they're done!! Stay tuned...

Understanding By Design Success and Unknowns Assessments
Anyone who knows me professionally knows that I'm very passionate about curriculum planning and Understanding by Design. I was introduced to UbD about 3 years ago and each year I have learned more and more about the process.
This year I took on a huge project of introducing the UbD process to 50+ teachers at my new school. Most of the teachers had never heard of it before and were scared to make this change. I understand that change is scary but I tried to reassure them that the process really does work.
The UbD process allows teachers to teach content developmentally and with rigor to ensure that every child meets or exceeds the required content. The most important thing about UbD is to "begin with the end in mind". If you know what you want your students to learn...then lay it out!! Show your students what you want them to know! If you see that they already know a specific skill, then you don't need to spend as much time teaching that content. You can spend more time focusing on the skills they are lacking and have plenty of time for remediation and enrichment.
The next unit that we are working on is for Missing Numbers (Unknown Equations). My students took the pretest this past week and there were several students that knew the simple equations and word problems. The majority of the class struggled with "start unknown" equations and word problems. Analyzing this data will show me what I need to teach in order for every student to master the concepts that I want them to know by the end of the unit. Once students master those concepts, then I can enrich them with advanced content. The pretest that I created in pictured below. Click HERE or on the picture to download the pretest and post test.
At the end of the unit, it's important to reassess your students using the same format or types of questions. You want to see if your teaching really worked and that your students really mastered the content that you taught. I like to keep the test format the same and just change to numbers or words.
If your school is contemplating the implementation of Understanding by Design, please accept the challenge!! It really is beneficial for teaching and learning!!

Seminar in the Classroom
As educators, we like to chat with each other about things that go well with teaching and things that we can work on to make our teaching better. Our students can do the same thing during a seminar. Some call it Socratic or Paideia Seminar but all in all, it's about the same thing.
When I first heard about doing a seminar, I was completely overwhelmed. I didn't know what it was and I certainly didn't know how to do it. Over the past few weeks I have been researching, as well as working with my team to develop our first seminar for our first graders. I like to have careful guidance when I'm doing something new with my students so they feel comfortable learning and communicating with each other, even though I may not be comfortable with trying something new. I came up with several resources that made this transition helpful for me (and my team) to conduct our first seminar.
Here are a few of the resources that are included in "Talking with Friends: SEMINAR":
I have included an explanation of what seminar is (in kid friendly words), reasons why seminar is so great, seminar procedures, tips to conducting a great seminar, seminar guidelines, student goal choices, student reflection on goals, talk helpers (in case students get stumped and can't think of anything else to say), teacher question stems (to help guide the conversation in the right direction), and participation logs (to keep track of how the students talk with each other).
Your students will love having the opportunity to talk to each other as they develop speaking skills necessary in everyday life. If you have tried seminar, please leave some feedback on things that work well and things that are a challenge for you. I would love to get more teachers on board with this collaborative teaching method. Give it a try and share your thoughts! :-)

Kids Can BLOG Too!!
I've been thinking about incorporating a blogging program
into my classroom and then I had an epiphany....
into my classroom and then I had an epiphany....
Kids can BLOG about the books they READ!!
We all know that responding to reading increases reading comprehension and we always have our students respond in a reading journal using paper and pencil.
Why not have our students respond to their stories in the form of a blog post??
Blogging about the stories they read will allow collaboration between students and even parents. Students will be able to reflect on their stories and get excited about learning. See below for resources on how to use reading responses as blog posts.

I will be using Kidblog (a free blogging site for students) this year and let me just tell you that the set up process is super easy. It doesn't take long at all but if you start it now, then once you get your class list, you'll be able to get your students blogging sooner.
Click on this picture for set up instructions:
Click on this picture for set up instructions:
Technology makes anything fun!! We have to get our students to read and have fun at the same time. Blogging about reading will allow us to do that. Set up an account with Kidblog and get your students started early so they can blog independently by the end of the school year.
I know that starting anything new is always scary, especially when it involves technology, so.....
I have created a few products to help you with the process.
Blogging for Little Learners will help you implement the blogging program. You can give your own blog prompts, use the ones included in this product, or just let your students blog about anything they want. Just be careful to set your blog settings where the teacher has to approve blog posts before they are public.

Click on the link below to take a closer look at Blogging for Little Learners.
You can also download the preview for some FREEBIES.
"Blogging for Little Learners" provides you with everything you need to start blogging:
Purposes of blogging - explanation about why blogging is beneficial
About blogging - information for parents about blogging
Teacher duties - everything you need to know to get the ball rolling
Parent permission form - you must have permission before starting
Internet safety guide - students need to know how to be safe online
Blogging guidelines - instructions about how to blog
Password cards - students need to know where to go to log in
How to make a blog post - labeled picture showing how to post
Guidelines for commenting - instructions for how to comment
Blogging Rubric - grading blog posts will keep students accountable
4 Choice boards - ideas for blogging about reading
Graphic organizer - "My First Blog Post"
If you want your students to be consistent with what they're blogging about, then you could have them blog about what they are reading. Students read a book, respond to the reading using reading response sheets, and then use that sheet to drive their conversation for their blog post.
Your students can use these Reading Response Sheets before heading to the computer. They can be used individually (if you prefer not to do the blogging thing) or along with "Blogging for Little Learners" (if you decide to take the blogging plunge).
The reading response download contains:
4 choice boards along with response sheets for each choice:
Back to school - easy "make a list" prompts
Fiction - 9 responses to any fiction text
Nonfiction - 9 responses to any nonfiction text
Opinion - opinion prompt template
Back to school - easy "make a list" prompts
Fiction - 9 responses to any fiction text
Nonfiction - 9 responses to any nonfiction text
Opinion - opinion prompt template
I have the BUNDLE available as well:
I encourage you to step into the 21st century and give your students the opportunity to write their VERY FIRST blog post!! I'm sure it will make your students feel important and parents will have something to brag about as well. :-)

Groupon Recommends
After shopping and dining up a storm on Silom Road, check out some of Bangkok's beautiful temples like Wat Arun or Wat Pho, which features an amazing Reclining Buddha image and sprawling grounds studded with stupas. Head to the streets around Khao San Road to mix with travellers from all over the world and soak up the infectious, fun-loving energy that Bangkok is famous for. After a busy day sightseeing, freshen up in the spacious suite and take the elevator up to the Tower Club, lebua's exclusive, fashionable bar where Groupies can sip a signature Hangovertini while enjoying panoramic views over the city. Follow it up with dinner at The Dome, one of Bangkok's top restaurants which has been awarded by Conde Nast Traveler.
Local Amenities
lebua occupies a prime position on Silom Road which buzzes night and day with excellent restaurants, bars and boutique shops. The river and Chong Nosi train station are also close by, making it easy for guests to get around the city.
My friend and i stated here for only one night before we headed back to London and it was one of the best of our holiday. The Lebua had everything you would expect from a 5* hotel. Great service, fabulous suite and perfect location. For the food, the breakfast is buffet style with everything you could possible ask for....fruit, yoghurt, pastries, waffles, eggs, sushi, full English and continental breakfasts...the list goes on! And you were not made to rush either…The views were incredible but the bar is quite famous and so very busy. It didn't impact the service though. In summary a great hotel and would thoroughly recommend if you fancy a treat.

The location nearby the river and short stroll to the sky train help make this hotel a wonderful place to stay and I have stayed in 5 star hotels in all my previous visits to Bangkok, but this is the one I will return to.

This is a monograph on suppurative arthritis in infancy and childhood based on the author's experience in 27 instances. He concludes that the disease is uncommon in children and that the Pneumococcus is the most frequent etiologic organism, followed by the Staphylococcus, streptococcus and gonococcus. The condition usually is preceded by lesions elsewhere in the body. The prognosis is good, and the only complications are subluxation of the joint, although if the suppuration occurs in the hip joint there may be destruction of important structures. The medical treatment is with sulfonamide compounds, and the surgical is immobilization with puncture or, if necessary, a simple incision.

Fallout 4 Player Beats Up Mutants As A Red Sox Player

Today on Highlight Reel we have David Ortiz modded into Fallout 4, WWE fails, prisoner extraction, Dogmeat hijinx and much more!
There are bandwagon fans, and then there's this guy. A tipster made us aware of his existence. His rooting interest? All of the teams, everywhere. It's rather impressive, because that's a lot of money to spend on apparel.
Originally published on Bloomberg View.
That narrows it down.
Jenny Dell did not make the trip out west with the Red Sox—who are currently playing the Mariners—but think this kid cares? He's either Jamie Erdahl's biggest fan or he's super excited that David Ortiz became the all-time hits leader at the DH position.
The most striking thing about the Baseball Games Are Too Long argument is the amount of time spent thinking about it.
Here is the front page of today's sports section.
In late July, ESPN got a well-deserved tsk-tsking from the Internet after a SportsCenter anchor delivered "breaking news" about Dwight Howard that was lifted, nearly verbatim, from a RealGM.com report. "This stuff happens from time to time," Vince Doria, ESPN's senior vice president and director of news, later told…
The Red Sox lost a baseball game last night, dropping their record to three games below .500, and you know what that means, don't you? It's time for some dumb columnist to turn into Carrie Nation and throw some shit at the wall. CSN New England's Joe Haggerty did just that when he published this article, which might…
If you paid that much for a Bud Light, you'd drink it, too.
Taking money from drunk Red Sox fans and giving it to cancer patients is a cause anyone can get behind (except perhaps liver cancer patients). Meeting with less approbation and more smirking are the names Longball Cellars has been slapping on its athlete-endorsed charity wine bottles. Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz …
The Red Sox, predicted by many to win it all this year, are still without a win five games into the season. Naturally, there's a discussion board up on the Globe website today titled "Panic Time?" Is it? Last night against Cleveland, Kevin Youkilis attempted to intentionally drop a line drive to turn a double play. He…
Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.
Going with the same headline formula? Going with the same headline formula. You fuck. It is the end of the day, the end of the week, but not the end of your life, so go rejoice.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 1995
Running Time: 96
Director: Michael Ninn
Company: VCA Platinum
Cast: Steve Drake, Debi Diamond, Shayla LaVeaux, Sunset Thomas, Diva, Tuffany Million, Gerry Pike, Zach Thomas, Misty Rain, Jon Dough
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
Just as Rocky appeared to make the definitive statement on the zen of taking one-too-many theatrical punches to the kisser, Rocky 2, while sneaking in a gallimaufry of secondary characters, an extra row home, here; a more defined scowl from Burgess Meredith, there; or a fatter lip from Carl Weathers, spit for all intents and purposes into the same ring bucket. With one mild exception. Rocky wins the second time around.
Michael Ninn's Sex 2 is a referee's decision, and it's no surprise in light of the story's development. What we have, essentially, is Sex with all its penny arcade sunsets and internal rhapsodizing riding once again like Zorro to battle the Alcalde.
This time it's Sunset Thomas, Gerry Pike's girlfriend going to the big bad city (a place even Batman should avoid) in search of Gerry who fell into the gloppity-glop machine of brittle, urban insouciance. Along the journey, Sunset sells out to the highest bidder. She becomes Debi Diamond's love doll (a spit-drenched asshole/strap-on scene); goes uptown to become Tyffany Million's love doll (a pube-spanking, asshole tonguing/strap-on session); morphs, literally, into a scowling rendition of her role model who could play a female Burgess Meredith with one hand tied behind her back; and, as proof of her "love" for Million offers her "virgin ass" to Zach Thomas for exacting penetration. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Generous flashbacks from Sex are incorporated quite nattily into the fabric of Sunset's story but it leaves an armchair accountant with the glaring reality, that, minus the filler material, Sunset's voyage of discovery runs little more than the average length of a "Matlock" episode. But when it borrows, Sex 2 is obviously in debt to one of the greatest adult films ever conceived, and for viewers who haven't viewed Sex, this is a more-than-subtle marketing reminder to make a trip to their local video store and grab a copy.
One can only appreciate the extent of Jon Dough's blistering presence in Sex by the nodding acquaintance made to his character in the sequel. Basically it's Million's ride, Dough getting off at the next station after a re-enactment of the faux dickjob Pike gives him in Part 1, and a swirl of Chasey Lain flashbacks in which Dough fucks Million's lying bitch ass, missionary-style.
Blow jobs also come fast and furious in Sex 2, the women displaying rhythm of wrist pro bowlers would envy; the men, thickness of cock a California redwood would aspire to, Sunset gets enough b.j. time that one would suspect her pumped-up forearm girth would up exceeding the USDA standards of butchers and bodybuilders after all was said and done. Her opening salvo with Gerry has more subliminal activity going on in it than your average propaganda leaflet, and a rapid fire succession of erotic imagery makes this one of the most dizzying contrived sex scenes modern editing has to offer.
At one point early on, motorist Shayla LaVeaux shows up at Pike's gas station (the fallen Pike looking like someone out of Mayberry RFD). Shayla appears a little lost, a little confused - as though she were looking for Kylie Ireland at the AVN awards show. Gerry, like Peter Frampton, shows her the way, plowing her with a standing doggie, giving her the ultimate 21-point lubrication service.
As we ride off into one of those glorious and poetic Michael Ninn sunsets, we at least harbor the suspicion that Gerry's postcard from the edge has nastier things to say the second time around. Sex 2 certainly reflects that, making this a must-see. Now we just have to wait for Sunset to play "Come Back Little Sheba."

Highlight: Magical on 4th Street
A few years back, my niece decided she wanted to be a magician. She started sneaking around the house, making wallets and car keys disappear between sofa cushions and into the dog's dish. The culmination of her dream was a self-staged magic show, an event for which she hand-lettered invitations to all her closest relatives. Once we arrived, she made us close our eyes while she pulled stuffed bunnies from her shirt. Not that I was expecting David Copperfield, but I was surprised to find grown-ups with the newly formed Magical on 4th Street collective performing refined versions of the same stunts my niece pulls in her living room. This rotation of magicians and mimes has perfected all the old tricks with cards, silver rings, and red scarves--which until now haven't found an audience outside of public libraries and the Thermo King company Christmas party. On the night I attended, the best tricks were by Geoff Williams, a snarling, high-energy Yoda look-alike. He made his head shrink and swell, solved a Rubik's Cube with his teeth, and performed with an omniscient chicken marionette. His brand of low-tech, low-production-values magic has its charm, especially if you're--Look! It's a tapir!--easily duped into turning your head. But there's also a seedy, self-loathing undercurrent about these magicianly clowns. Fridley native MagicBrad, the opener, is a curly-headed funny uncle in a purple smoking jacket who likes poking fun at his fellow northern suburbanites almost as much as he likes magic dental floss. When he's not coughing up Ping-Pong balls or evading eye contact, he's making cracks about all the blockheads living up in Blaine. Being a Blaine native myself, I knowingly snickered along with these Anoka county potshots. MagicBrad, however, loved these quips. At every Blaine punch line he broke from his tight-lipped, self-concerned smirk to indulge a zany, full-fledged Popeye chortle.

The Smith.
I have and carry a Model 60 no dash and it is great and easy to shoot.
This is a discussion on Picking a snubby for concealed carry within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Ok, this may be a long one. I'm new to this forum, and hope that those of you who will read this will oblige me ...
Ok, this may be a long one.
I'm new to this forum, and hope that those of you who will read this will oblige me with some much needed advice. I value everyone's opinion, and thank everyone who posts for their wisdom.
I'm relatively new to the handgun world. Although I've shot (and currently own) long arms (20 GA, .22 LR), I've just turned 21 and am looking to get my concealed permit.
I very much want a steel revolver for my main concealed carry. Weight for steel revolvers shouldn't be a problem, cause I love my dad's k-frame Model 10 2", and can carry that all day long. I know that autos are often lighter, carry more firepower, and can be easier to shoot than most compact revolvers. However, for the reliability, aesthetics and ammo interchangiblilty, I want a revolver. I'd like to keep the price down to $450 or less. Caveat: I will only fire .38+p for defensive use, except when I go hiking, when I want to have a few .357 rounds loaded up. So shooting a snub-nose shouldn't be too terribly painful.
I've narrowed it down to 3 brands of revolvers. Which one would you choose, and why?
1) Smith and Wesson 60 or 640 - lighter (than Sp101), smoother trigger, prolly can't handle lots of .357 (no biggie), more $$$. Great customer service
2) Ruger Sp101 w/ exposed hammer - built like a tank, heavier (at 25oz), trigger a bit rough before you dry fire it a jillion times. Will most likely outlast me and several generations. Aesthetically pleasing.
3) Taurus 817, 650 or 605- heard mixed reports on Taurus. Cheaper, but some past issues with QC. Some hate them, some love them. Tend to be less $$$ (a good thing if I can find a good one). Like the looks of their revolver line.
Again, thanks for the advice.
The Smith.

"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
SP101 built too last, SW is also a choice; you should get both....
I would if I could, but after this purchase, I've had a hankering for a Kel-Tec 9mm carbine.
I hear yah, I just got a Glock30 a few weeks ago and now I have the fever for a Bushmaster AR15. The fever never ends, good luck with your purchase and stay safe!
I would go with a Stainless Steel S&W J Frame rated for .38 spl +P+ - it's a small revolver - it's NOT that heavy compared to the air-weight and it's very solid - low maintenance and easy to shoot.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
does anybody know the average price for a 60 or 640. I was looking at impactguns.com and ableammo.com and they both have these models in the low $500s, which seems a little pricey to me. Alas, I have yet to visit my local store to look around.
I've shot many revolvers and I've liked the Smiths the best.
Look into their Airweights, that will eliminate a lot of the weight.
As far as caliber, I would carry .357mag for self defense. .38special is a good round, but the .357mag would be much better for self defense IMO as long as you can handle the recoil.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Smith & Wesson M&P9c
I carry a S&W 637-2 Airweight in the summer months and anytime it's not convenient to wear my 45 auto.
The revolver is light;15 oz. empty, and it rides in my front pocket nestled inside a Galco PH 158 horsehide pocket holster.
I carry a speed loader with an extra 5 rounds.
It shoots great and recoil is nothing to be concernd with.
If anyone says that they don't like a snubby now and then, have never carried one.
Try it you'll like it, it could be habit forming.
You'll end up carring the gun that is easiest to hide or you'll go without, when it comes to that then the little snubby fits the bill.

"Any pistol you carry for personal protection is fine.....as long as it starts with a 4 and ends with a 5."
"... cause I love my dad's k-frame Model 10 2" and can carry that all day long."
A person could do a lot worse.
Model 10 2-inch revolvers can be about as easy to conceal as their J-frame brethren, are quite accurate, and soak up recoil so well.
Like Para 45,I too have purchased a 637-2 .38 +p....did not remember what a great carry piece it is,I pac it around all the time now.
I carry a Revolver over 90% of the time. Actually I carry two.
The first one is an N-Frame 4" Barrel 45 ACP S&W. The second one is a S&W 442 38 Special "Snubbie". I got this after I got rid of my 640. The reason I got rid of the 640 was, it hurt like crazy to shoot "full house" 357 Mag loads through it.
If I was going to carry one revolver I would make it a 6 shot 3" or 4" Barrelled one, not a "snubbie". Having been in two "Armed Encounters" I can honestly say that the aggravation of carrying the bigger gun is worth it to me. I want every advantage I can get when the fecal matter hits the rotating thingie. The "snubbie" is carried as a BUG and to allow my "weak" hand to have access to a weapon when my "primary" hand is otherwise engaged.
After the New Year I will be carrying a Ruger GP100 with a 3" Barrel. I peeked at what my wife is giving me for Christmas. The 442 will still be a BUG and I can carry the same ammo for my reloads in both the Primary and the BUG. The first cylinderfull in the GP100 will be "full house" 125 grain 357 Magnums. I don't believe in "shortchanging" myself in ammo and want every advantage I can get.
Of the guns you listed I would only consider the Ruger SP101 in 357 Mag. In fact, I am looking for an SP101 with a 2" Barrel to use as a second gun and will relegate the 442 to third gun status on my ankle, with no reload carried for it. I will continue to carry a reload for the other two guns.
"Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters"
Don't know what the average price is but buds gun shop is usually very low. They have the 60 for 498.
