Introduction, continued • When students transition to the college setting, even one right in their hometown, they experience a culture change. • College administrators, professors, and advisors expect students to be independently motivated, self advocates, and able to interact professionally. • Written communication is one way students convey information about themselves to these postsecondary professionals. Introduction, continued • Written communication, especially via email, is becoming one of the most commonly used forms of communication on college campuses between faculty/staff and students. • Students are expected to have this skill internalized before coming to campus, but direct instruction about how to communicate effectively in writing will be required for some students. Introduction, continued • It can't be assumed that all students in transition will develop this skill automatically. • When students compose e-mails or other forms of written correspondence, they are communicating something about themselves beyond the specific content or question they want to share. Introduction, continued • This module is focused on helping students ensure that they accomplish what they intend to communicate. Introduction, Activity • Read over the email examples. • Describe how you would react to receiving it. • Share your first impressions of the writer and the scenario. Session Goal • Goal: to explore common uses for e-mail communication in postsecondary education settings (e.g. community college, college, university) and to share/provide ideas for helping students in transition adjust effectively to this new use of written communication. Session Objectives Participants will be able to: 1. Identify common uses of e-mail communication in postsecondary education settings; 2. Identify common pitfalls of new college students in regard to effective e-mail communication; Session Objectives, continued 3. Identify 10 basic guidelines to teach to students regarding e-mail communication in the college setting; 4. Evaluate implementation of the guidelines in sample e-mail scenarios; a 5. Demonstrate understanding of the module content and its relation to transition planning and cited research literature. Transition Planning • Transition planning must begin to be incorporated into a student's Individualized Education Program when that student reaches 16 years of age (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA 2004). • However, states and school systems have the option of beginning this process much earlier. Transition Planning, continued • A proactive process to transition preparation is critical for most students – especially students for whom postsecondary education is a consideration. • Even as early as middle school some students begin to participate in classes and select programs of study that will have a direct impact on if they have the necessary coursework to apply for college. Transition Planning, continued • Key Transition Planning Considerations include (but are not limited to): – The development of appropriate and measurable postsecondary goals in relation to training, education, employment, and (where appropriate) independent living skills. – Identification of transition services that will be necessary for the student to reach the selected goals. Transition Planning, continued – A statement, written no later than 1 year before the child reaches the age of majority under state law, that the child has been informed of his or her rights, and that these rights will transfer to the child on reaching the age of majority. – The articulation of a summary of the student's academic achievement and functional performance [SOP], including recommendations on how to assist the student in meeting postsecondary goals. Transition Planning, continued • For a student with a transition goal in the area of education and/or training to "go to college": – Services to ensure that the student takes the correct high school classes and help the student to secure recent evaluation/eligibility data are important, but may not be sufficient. Transition Planning, continued – Other transition planning may involve helping the student to understand the culture and requirements specific to the postsecondary environment - including attention to potential changing communication needs in that environment. Transition Planning, continued – Up to this point, communication regarding the student's academic needs and questions may have been done for him/her. – Opportunities for written and verbal communication experienced may also often have been informal in nature. Transition Planning, continued • Transition planning can include direct instruction and practice opportunities for students to build effective professional communication skills that are appropriate for postsecondary learning environments. Transition Planning, continued • We cannot assume that students will automatically and effectively transfer use of a technology that has previously been used for social purposes to using the same tool as a learning technology. Transition Planning, Activity • Watch the video at http://mast.ecu.edu/modules/tpc_ec/lib/media/ 4photos.html . • In small groups, take the perspective of both the email writer and the faculty member. • What potentially-appropriate skills or competencies did the writer demonstrate? What skills were lacking? What dilemma does the faculty member face? Transition Planning, Activity, continued • Regardless of the decision reached, this might not be the sort of self-advocacy we want our students to face right off the bat when they enter college – or the type of impression they will want to make. • What could be done to help students in transition avoid being the source of these sorts of conversations between faculty members? Research • Rather than having to wait for an appointment or for posted office hours, students on college campuses can now communicate conveniently with instructors via e-mail. • Some have predicted that this tool will actually increase the amount of communication between students and faculty. Research, continued • For apprehensive students, this may have the advantage of creating a nonthreatening way to make initial and ongoing connections with faculty (Duran, Kelly, & Keaton, 2005). • Although e-mail messages between instructors and students have become a common source of communication, using an e-mail style that is overly casual may do more harm than good (Russell, 2009). Research, continued • Overly casual student-generated e-mail messages were found to cause instructors to like the students less, view them as less credible, determine the message to be of lower quality, and be less willing to comply with the requests in the e-mail messages (Stephens, Houser, & Cowan, 2009). Research, continued • Instructors may view casually written emails as careless and cocky, even if students do not write with these intentions (Duran, Kelly, & Keaton). • Instructor impressions based on overly casual e-mails also do not seem to be nearly as related to generational issues as some may think (Stephens, Houser, & Cowan). Research, continued • But some research has demonstrated that people who send grammatically correct e-mails are viewed more positively – even as being friendlier and more likable (Stephens, Houser, & Cowan). Research, continued • Students will not only have the opportunity to communicate with instructors via e-mail, but will likely also use this tool for communication with other students, disability support service providers, advisors, and administrators. • Doing so effectively can make a positive difference for students. Research, continued • Teachers supporting students in transition can help students learn to "flip the switch" (Turner, 2009) between text-talk and standard English when sending e-mails to different audiences. • If done as a part of transition planning, students may be more likely to enter the post-secondary campus more prepared for different types of interaction and communication. Research, Activity • Use www.wordle.net to have small groups of participants brainstorm as many words that they can think of that relate to the terms "communication" and/or "e-mail". Use the resulting visual to frame the discussion for the rest of the day. Written Communication • Look at these definitions of "communication": – "the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs." (dictionary.com); and – "to convey knowledge of or information about: make known: to reveal by clear signs" (Merriam-Webster.com) Written Communication, continued • Examples of Technology-based Written Communication Frequently Used in College Settings: – Students frequently use technological tools to communicate both formally and informally in the college setting. – The following graphic displays some of these different uses of technology for written dialogue and information sharing: Written Communication, continued Written Communication, continued • Now more frequent than ever, written communication in the college setting takes many forms: e-mail accounts, discussion boards, online classes, online advising calendars, even online IM support from university librarians. • Students need to utilize professional communication that falls somewhere between the casual text lingo used with friends and the formatting used in a business letter. Written Communication, continued • E-mail communication remains one of the most common forms of faculty-tostudent communication. • College professionals still expect a professional and respectful tone to be maintained in these types of correspondence – just as in face-to-face meetings. Written Communication- Activity • Listen to the audio at http://mast.ecu.edu/modules/tpc_ec/lib/media/ 4photos.html . • Individually, list the various functions you have facilitated by email communication in the past week, both professionally and personally. • Share your results, recording on chart paper or white board the many functions supported by email correspondence. Pet Peeves • Instructor Pet Peeves: As part of the development of this module, 15 instructors were informally polled to share their "pet peeves" regarding emails they have received from students. • These informal responses aligned closely with the research literature. Pet Peeves, continued • If a student takes the time to contact a faculty member, she or he generally needs some support. • Learning how to avoid some basic pitfalls that frustrate faculty members may make it more likely that the instructor responds favorably. Giving students in transition a heads-up about these instructor preferences and the content of this module will possibly help them avoid some unnecessary bad impressions! Pet Peeves, continued • Many faculty members report receiving emails with no more text than something like, "hey I cant get into the test". • The faculty member recipient has no idea who is having difficulty (no student identification), what class the student is in, or which test is being attempted. • No capitalization or punctuation is used, and a very informal "hey" begins the message. Pet Peeves, continued • This type of email exemplifies the most common types of "pet peeves" described in this informal survey. • Teachers of students in transition to postsecondary settings can turn these "pet peeves" into instructional tips. Many are addressed in the lesson plan later in this module. Pet Peeve Comment Possible Alternative/Solution A student sending an email and not identifying himself. When this occurs an instructor must take several extra steps before being able to respond. In order to respond an instructor must figure out who sent the email (if possible), what class the student is in, and then try to answer the question. Faculty members receive many emails daily, and this makes it impossible to reply quickly. It also does not usually facilitate a particularly responsive mood on the part of the faculty member. Always include your full name in the text of an email. When appropriate, identify what class you are in or explain briefly your connection with the person recipient. Sending an email that begins with something like: "Hi ya", "What's up", "Yo, prof!", "howru" Emails with this level of familiarity often come across as disrespectful. Beginning an email with an extremely informal tone may make even the most relaxed faculty members less likely to reply. Some faculty members also mentioned that using a first name (rather than title and last name) in the greeting without being asked to do so often conveys a tone of disrespect. Dear Dr. ________, Hello, Greetings! Hi Dr. __________, Good morning/afternoon_______ Pet Peeve Comment Possible Alternative/Solution An email sent when a student is angry, and feelings are conveyed inappropriately and disrespectfully. If you are sending an email about which you feel strong emotion it is often best to wait 24 hours before sending it. This wait-time may not always be possible, but either way, have someone you trust read it before clicking "send". Don't put anything in writing to a faculty or staff member that you would not be willing to say face-toface. A message typed as if talking to your best friend- all lower case, no punctuation and abbreviationslol, jk, idk, etc. Even faculty members who text their friends and family frequently will generally switch to a more professional tone when corresponding with students. Students will want to do the same. Other faculty members may not be familiar with abbreviations used when texting. In these situations, decoding your email will be time consuming and frustrating. Write full sentences. Use correct punctuation. Run spell check.. Pet Peeve Comment Possible Alternative/Solution Subject line text: HELP!!! Rarely does a college question require so many exclamation points, and seeing emotionally laden language in a subject heading will more likely cause an instructor to feel defensive than encourage him or her to read the email right away. The subject line should give the instructor a head's up about the focus of your question, not the level of your emotion. The student did not identify herself or tell which class she is talking about. Remember, instructors can have literally hundreds of students and numerous classes within one semester. Also, the text of the email does not give any indication that the student has made an attempt to understand or try the Module 4 assignment. Within the text of the email designate which class you are asking about, and ask a specific question. The question will likely be better received if you describe what you do understand about what you think you are to do, and ask if this is correct. "I don't understand what I need to do in Module 4" An alternative might be Internet failure during on-line test. Pet Peeve Comment Possible Alternative/Solution "I'm sorry I missed your class today. Please tell me what I missed." This student did not identify himself or tell what class he is in. The implied assumption is that the instructor will re-teach the class to the student after being absent. First contact the instructor before missing class and explain why you will not be able to attend. If there is not a legitimate reason – don't miss the class. Then, consult the course calendar and contact another student prior to sending the instructor an email. In the text of the email identify yourself, describe what you have done to find out what you missed, describe what you have learned about the class you have missed, and ask if there is anything else that your friend forgot to share. An email that does not allow sufficient turn-around time for a response. An example might be an email written at 10:00 p.m. with a question about an assignment that is due at midnight. In this sort of situation, even if the instructor does respond, you may be less likely to get the response you would like. The best approach would be to work ahead enough on assignments to be able to recognize if you have questions far in advance of the due date. College assignments are rarely assigned one day and due the next. If you are doing some last-minute work, acknowledge responsibility for this and your recognition that you may not receive a response prior to the due date in the context of the email. Even if a due date is not involved, be sure to provide plenty of time for an instructor to respond. It is generally not a good idea to send follow up checkingin emails every few minutes or hours. That will be less likely to help you receive a quick response and more likely to simply annoy the faculty member. Pet Peeve Comment Possible Alternative/Solution Using the high importance symbol (!) Rarely would something associated with a college course require this. Most faculty members reserve this for fairly urgent needs. It might be an especially poor choice to use this symbol because you feel something is urgent to you simply because of procrastination on an assignment. The high importance symbol should indicate something that would be urgent and/or time sensitive to the recipient. If you feel it is important to contact the faculty member quickly you can try different options such as emailing, phoning, and stopping by the office during office hours. Using font that is difficult to read Fancy or interesting font has a purpose in many different situations, but faculty-student email correspondence is not generally one of them. Instead it may simply make the text more difficult to read. Use standard fonts and colors when e-mailing and save the creativity and attention to detail for assignments and schoolwork. Replying to old and unrelated emails without changing the subject heading… or starting a new email each time in the middle of an e-mail dialogue. Because faculty members communicate with hundreds of students regularly, the text from previous emails can be very helpful in a continuing conversation. If a student pulls up an old unrelated e-mail dialogue and uses it to start a new conversation without changing the subject line, the faculty member does not have an accurate context before opening the email. Alternatively, if you are in the middle of an email dialogue and start a fresh email each time, the faculty member will have not point of reference when responding. Instead s/he will have to hunt through old emails to read what has already been typed. Keep the subject heading current based on the conversation, and keep the email dialogue intact by replying each time rather than starting a new email or wiping out the earlier part of the dialogue. Pet Peeves- Activity • Take a poll of "pet peeves" about email. Add these to the list started in this module. E-mail Tips • Use the following tips to help students think ahead about post-secondary email etiquette. • Many of these tips have been provided by first-year students with identified learning disabilities. • Some of these reminders and tips will err on the side of formality. E-mail Tips, continued • Students should remember that although many instructors will be technologically savvy, most have not grown up with the immersion in computer use that students have experienced. • They may be comfortable with a style that feels a bit formal to students. • However, it is most important for the student to show respect and keep communication open with instructors. E-mail Tips, continued 1. Remember that e-mail, texts, and online communication are forever. Once you click send you can't take it back. Prevent sender's remorse by getting in the habit of pausing to think and re-read before you click send. E-mail Tips, continued 2. Now is a good time to take a serious look at what your Facebook page (or MySpace, Twitter, blog, etc) communicates to the world. These social networking resources can help you stay connected and share information, careless use can lead to making bad impressions, loss of opportunities, penalties for rule violations, and even very real danger depending on the types of information you post. E-mail Tips, continued 3. E-mail is usually a good way to contact most professors, but it is not necessarily always the best way. Pay attention if your professor mentions that a different method of contact is preferred. Also, e-mail shouldn't be the only way you communicate with professors. Face to face communication is important, too. E-mail Tips, continued 4. Have somebody look over your written communication (especially e-mail) before you send it. After a few reviews from others who are a bit more experienced, you will start to get a sense of how to effectively communicate in writing on campus. E-mail Tips, continued Also, when sending an e-mail remember that you will also not have the advantage of incorporating body language and voice tone to communicate the intent of your message. The text you choose to use will need to accurately convey both the content and the tone of your message. E-mail Tips, continued 5. When you are corresponding by e-mail with an instructor, you are communicating professionally. The casual style you use with a friend is not appropriate here. E-mail Tips, continued 6. Always include your name in the email, and do not assume the e-mail system will provide that for the instructor. This is especially true when using e-mail addresses other than those supported by the educational institution. Professors don't have time to guess the identities of "bballdude22" or "iheartpirates17". E-mail Tips, continued 7. E-mail with the same rules for polite and respectful communication as you would use in a face-to-face meeting. Also, typing in all caps is often interpreted as shouting. There are seldom times when students would use shouting with instructors, so be careful with this type of emphasis. E-mail Tips, continued 8. Check your e-mail daily and be very prompt replying to e-mails. However, do not expect instructors to be on call to respond to e-mails around the clock. If it is a critical situation send an e-mail and make a phone call E-mail Tips, continued 9. You may want to draft your e-mail, reread it, and spell check it before putting the recipient's name in the "To" line. This will eliminate the worry of accidentally clicking "send" before you are ready for the person to see what you've been writing. E-mail Tips, continued 10. Feel free to use space between major ideas (much as you would construct paragraphs) so that important information and questions do not get "lost" in a large body of text. Be as clear and concise when you compose your message as possible. Many faculty members receive a large number of e-mails each day. E-mail Tips, continued 11. Be careful with "reply to all" option. Remember that you might not have been the only one to receive the initial e-mail. Notice who else received and e-mail and respond accordingly. E-mail Tips, continued 12. Do not ask the recipient to reply to your e-mail unless there is a true need for it. Also, do not use the feature to see a note if the person has read the e-mail unless that is necessary. E-mail Tips, continued 13. While adding a "pretty" background or fancy font to the e-mail may make your personal style stand out, it also may add a few extra clicks for the recipient to even be able to read the email. This may be more annoying that helpful. There may be other more appropriate ways to add a colorful flair to your communication than dressing up the appearance of an e-mail. E-mail Tips, continued 14. Identify yourself and your class in the subject heading – make this a useful "heads up" to the one who receives the e-mail. Unless you already know the addressee fairly well, always start by introducing yourself and stating how the person should know you. It's common for a professor who might recognize your face not to be able to place you by name unless you've met several times. E-mail Tips, continued 15. Write in standard English, not as though you are texting or posting online. Maintain a professional tone and don't be overly familiar E-mail Tips, Activity • Individually construct an email that when read with different facial expressions and voice tones could communicate very different meanings. • Read the email to a small group several times – each time using voice and body language to communicate a very different message (frustration, joking, sarcasm, warmth, anger). E-mail Tips, Activity continued • In small groups, discuss how students frequently write emails with one intent/tone, but that an instructor may read it in an entirely different way when they only can see the text. • Without careful attention to how an email is composed, a person may convey something unintentional beyond the content of the message. Lesson Plan • Some students will benefit from direct instruction regarding basic considerations when emailing in a college setting. • The sample lesson plan that follows could be used with high school students preparing to transition to college (for example, in a Curriculum Assistance classroom, an English classroom, a resource classroom, or any number of different environments). Lesson Plan • Lesson Objective: The student will draft an e-mail using at least eight effective writing conventions for appropriate written correspondence with post-secondary instructors. • Note: the lesson plan at http://mast.ecu.edu/modules/tpc_ec/lib/docum ents/Power_Point_for_Sample_Lesson_Plan 6.3.10.pptx 6.3.10.pptx links directly to supplementary materials Lesson Element Procedures Lesson Setup & Lesson Opening Focus student attention with "A Tale of Two E-mails" by showing the following two e-mail samples: hey, can you send me the slides from class today b/c I was out and missed it. Thanx!!! Cameron Dr. Smith, Hello, this is Pete Pirate, and I am in your PSYC 1000 class (section 002). I looked over the test we got back in class today, and I have a few questions about things I got wrong. Can I come during your office hours at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to discuss what I can do to improve my grade on the next test? If another time would be better for you, just let me know and I will schedule an appointment. Thanks for your help, Pete Use a Venn Diagram to note student comments as they compare and contrast the two different e-mails. Have them view the e-mails from the lens of the instructor, decide which would be best received, and justify their decision. List the elements of the 2nd e-mail that make it most effective for this type of written communication. Materials Power Point slides with sample email. E-mails on student handout if desired Venn diagram Lesson Body Teacher Input Use the information in the sample PowerPoint slides to: 1) Provide a rationale/context for the type of e-mail communication students will want to use in college. 2) List guidelines for composing an e-mail that would be considered appropriately written in a college setting. Although e-mail is not quite as formal as traditional letter-writing, you can still use some of the features of the more formal writing to structure your communication. 3) Help students understand that the nature of each written communication will be different, but these tips are generic tips that could be considerations for a variety of purposes. Guidelines portrayed in the PowerPoint file (in a bit more detail in the Power Point file) include: Begin with a polite and respectful salutation. Clearly communicate message, questions, or concerns. Use proper punctuation. Use complete sentences and professional language. Use commonly accepted abbreviations only when helpful. Use respectful language/tone. Include both your first and last name in the e-mail. Fill in the subject line. Use spell check. Proofread the e-mail before sending. Take time to discuss each guideline, provide examples and explanation when needed. Power Point Lesson Body, continued 4) Provide a sample e-mail template that students can follow until they become more comfortable with professional communication in postsecondary education settings in this way. 5) Identify elements of the template that reflect the 10 guidelines presented. 6) Present the students again with the two e-mails (from Cameron and Pete) from the beginning of the lesson. Have them compare these emails with 10 guidelines discussed in this lesson. Guided Practice: Present the following scenario to the class. You are registering for spring semester classes. Last week you met with your academic advisor to discuss the courses you will need to take in the spring and spent time developing your preferred schedule. One of the classes you had planned to take is now full, and you are not sure if you should ask for special permission to be added to that class or if you should just select something else (but you are not sure what that would be). Compose an e-mail to your advisor to ask for guidance with this decision. As a group, draft an e-mail to the academic advisor referenced in the scenario using all of the tips discussed earlier. Power Point Extended Practice 1) Students draw a sample postsecondary scenario depicting a situation when e-mail communication may be appropriate. 2) Each student should compose an e-mail to the instructor addressing his/her scenario using at least 8 of the 10 guidelines discussed in this lesson. 3) Students can exchange e-mails and use the guideline checklist to provide feedback to one another – or the e-mails can be collected for formative assessment and/or a classwork grade. Lesson Closing Discuss other potential uses of written communication in college (library, thank you notes, requests for internships, online discussions, blogs, etc) Review 10 guidelines. Postsecondary scenarios cut and placed on cards. Summary • This module was designed to generate thinking about ways to help students be strategic as they prepare to communicate in the college setting – specifically via e-mail. • Sharing practical tips and providing meaningful practice opportunities may increase a student's ability to make a positive impression on a college instructor and/or convey e-mail messages accurately. Summary, continued • Do not assume students will naturally make the leap from the casual electronic communication used frequently and effortlessly by many teenagers to the more professional communication expected on a postsecondary campus. • Proactive supports and direct instruction for students in transition can facilitate a student's effective adjustment to the college setting. Focus and Reflection Questions 1. Follow up on any questions raised during the session. 2. Share personal experiences with communication via email. Discuss any changes you may make in your own composition of emails. 3. How can the instructor model good email communication Application & Extension activities Activities to use as Attention-Grabbers/Ice Breakers: 1. Describe a scenario, and have participants compose an email that would be appropriate for that scenario – but to three different audiences (e.g. best friend, teacher, parent, employer). 2. Make a list of 10 – 20 texting abbreviations. See how many the group can decipher. Time the group – and introduce the idea of extra time involved if reading an email from a student requires this type of decoding. Discuss how this could be simulated with students (e.g., email full of education-related acronyms or fictitious texting abbreviations that might be used in fields of education, business). Application & Extension activities, continued Activities to use to Extend Learning Following review of the module, these activities could be used to extend learning regarding how to assist learners with written communications. 1.Include information and a template to teach students how to construct well-written thank you notes. This practice with writing to people with whom a student may rarely correspond in writing, may help students develop practice writing to others in a polite, but informal style. It will also help them when the graduation gifts come in! Application & Extension activities, continued 2.Develop role plays (simulated student/faculty meeting) and e-mail samples that communicate the same information. Compare/contrast the effectiveness, strengths, & limitations of each type of communication for various purposes. Point out similarities and differences of each. Application & Extension activities, continued Activities with a Broader Communication Scope With sufficient time allotted the scope of the module could be expanded beyond written communication. For example, oral communication and body language could also be included for a more broad focus on communication in the college setting. Application & Extension activities, continued 1. After working through the materials in this module about one form of written communication, have participants write a similar lesson plan that applies to a form of oral communication or body language. 2. Brainstorm different times/ways oral communication or body language is used in college, and the different audiences students speak with for different purposes. Application & Extension activities, continued 3. Discuss the impact body language can have on impressions others have of you. Students will need to decide what they want to communicate with their body language and deliberately work to ensure they actually do so in different settings. Areas of emphasis in the college setting can be class participation; texting, checking email, web surfing, etc during class lecture; sleeping; making eye contact; monitoring facial expressions, and nodding. Application & Extension activities, continued 4. Teach SLANT: A Starter Strategy TM for Class Participation developed by Edwin Ellis (1991) and published by Edge Enterprises. This strategy is part of the many valuable resources provided by the Kansas University Center for Research on Learning. See their website (http://www.kucrl.org) for more information about training and learning strategies or Content Enhancement Routines. Application & Extension activities, continued 5. Show a photograph of a classroom depicting students with different postures. Have the participants identify students that seem to be "paying attention" and demonstrating respect. Use as a foundation for a discussion about faculty perceptions and the impact that may have on learning and course performance. Even if the student is effectively multitasking and absorbing information being presented, the student is making an impression on the instructor. Instructors may perceive very differently the impact of the student's choices regarding interaction with the class content. Application & Extension activities, continued 6. Students with disabilities are responsible for self-disclosing to an instructor information about accommodations for which they would be eligible. Especially if this is the first time students have contact with the instructor;, it can be a difficult and awkward conversation for a student. Participants can develop resources for teaching students to introduce themselves, explain how their disability impacts classroom learning, and break the ice with an instructor. Application & Extension activities, continued 7. Students in college rarely visit faculty members during office hours or make contact outside of class. At the end of the semester faculty frequently receive several student contacts asking for extensions, extra credit, grading considerations, etc. Participants can discuss how to impress on potential students the impact of this communication pattern and the benefits of a more proactive approach to communicating with faculty members. Application & Extension activities, continued However this understanding will not likely be enough to ensure that students take those first steps to get to know their instructors. Participants of an extended workshop can share ideas and develop lesson plans designed to teach students strategies for scheduling and following through with that first meeting. Application & Extension activities, continued 8. Some tips that can be shared with students about body language and oral communication (* indicates a tip from a current college student) are: • Look people in the eye when speaking and listening. • Try to replace some of the more casual words in your vocabulary with their more professional counterparts. For example, "yes" instead of "yeah" or "uh-huh". • Remember your manners. Saying "please" and thank you" and generally having a respectful and positive attitude communicates more than almost any other words you can say. Application & Extension activities, continued • Make a point of meeting your professors during the first week of class and making a positive impression by going to their office hours. Follow up with an email. *If you don't have an unlimited plan, keep track of your cell phone minutes and texts carefully. It's easy to run out because most college students call and text their friends a lot! * • Don't be afraid to ask questions! * • Sit and stand up straight. Don't fidget with objects (e.g., pen or pencil) in a distracting way. Application & Extension activities, continued • Listen actively. • Consider the message you may convey if you are not clean and appropriately groomed when you leave the dorm. Do your clothes send the message that you take your classes seriously or that you just happened to drop in for class in between other, more important activities? • Consider the message it sends if you attend class in the same clothes you wear to sleep? Session Evaluation • A form for participants to evaluate the session is available in the Facilitator's Guide. Self-Assessment • A self-assessment with response feedback is available at http://mast.ecu.edu/modules/tpc_ec/quiz/ . Participants may take this assessment online to evaluate their learning about content presented in this module

There are many different plans of attack when attempting to pay your mortgage off faster. In this article, from The National Post, the author argues that a shorter amortization is a good strategy. Equally as effective is keeping your amortization as long as possible and setting up automatic extra payments that have the overall effect of shortening your amortization period. The effect of making additional payments on your mortgage will lower the overall amortization and you always have the option of reverting back to the lower, longer amortized payment should life get in the way (illness, maternity leave, loss of employment etc). In my opinion, this is the best strategy as it gives you more freedom and options should your lifestyle change.If you automatically pay extra every month, chances are you won't miss the extra money and you'll be on your way to becoming mortgage free sooner!

text: I'm looking to go 64-bit with the new Windows 7. However, I have some old games that probably wont like that. Virtualization is the easiest answer it seems. I know what Windows 7 Business has a Windows XP mode. However, Microsoft said that it will not be optimized for 3D applications. Does anyone know the specs for the Virtualization environment? Has anyone had any gaming experience using this tool at all yet? What other Windows virtualization software is out there? The only reason I would go business over home is because of windows xp mode. But isn't there virtual PC that is free?? -Sammi

|This is a discussion on 10 nl strategy within the online poker forums, in the Cash Games section; Hi What cash game strategy could u guys give me for 10nl and moving up. I want to start learning playing cash games but from 10nl.I have
10 nl strategy
What cash game strategy could u guys give me for 10nl and moving up.
I want to start learning playing cash games but from 10nl.I have played
tournament poker a few years and read deference between them and i feel
ready to learn and play...
What strategy would u use in these levels?Can i start with 2 tables cause 1 is boring.What style should i play i like to steal blinds would that work on
Tight table or should i play on loose players.
What must my bankroll be if i play here?
What must my vpip/pfr/agf/3bet,cbet and showdown% must be like +/-
Those are really good questions, but the answers depend on many variables. The problem is that there is usually no one right answer. We could try to answer your questions but it would take pages and answers would differ on what kind of opponent you are facing. I think the best thing for you to do is indulge in poker books and internet training sites. They helped me the most get up to speed to beat todays games.
re: Poker & 10 nl strategy
i have only played a little bit at 10nl and it was a while ago before i even joined CC and before i even started getting the cash game so i might not be qualified to answer but ill try...
First of all, what is the reason to start from 10nl? if the answer has anything to do with ego or being to proud for lower limits then think again before you start, i would strongly recommend to start from 2nl and move up, with 100 bucks you have 50 buyins which is great and will handle downswings badbeats and bad calls, if you start at 10nl $100 is just 10 buyins, two busted rockets or cowboys and you are really short with the bankroll, im not questioning your playing abilities but how well would you handle beats, if you tilt and rebuy you can half the bankroll in no time, that is why i suggest 2nl, you can handle more swings when you know that it is small money and you can concentrate at your play and not become result oriented...
i would start with one table just to see how it goes and if you think that you making decisions fast enough you can add one more table but if you dont have tracker/hud i would take the free time to make notes about players habits...
my vpip is 14.6, i have read somewhere that the optimal tight range is 12-15
my pfr is 9.36 and the optimal range from same source is 10-13
agg factor should be between 2.5 and 3.5
3 bet 3 to 7
c bet 65 to 76
Now playing is a little complicated to fit in one line but essentials are play in position, play agressive, dont limp, raise almost every time you entering the pot, dont bluff if you dont know anything about your opponents dont think that they bluff if you dont know anything about your opponents, dont fall in love in TPTK, dont play draws without good pot odds, post hands to analyse...
GL at the tables, hope this helps...
If you've never played cash games then I would say start small and one 1 table so you can conentrate. This is very different than MTT/SNG. Lots of variables to think about and there are some good players out there who will take your money if not played right.
Once you are comfortable on how to adjust your play, then move to higher buy-in lvl or more tables.
Read up first and watch some videos so you know what to expect.
GL on the felt

BERLIN (AP) Ś President Barack Obama is challenging Americans and Europeans not to become complacent even though the Cold War is over.
Obama is speaking at BerlinÆs iconic Brandenburg Gate nearly 50 years after John F. KennedyÆs famous speech in the once-divided city.
Obama says thereÆs a temptation to turn inward now that barbed wire and concrete walls no longer separate East and West in Berlin. He says heÆs returned to Berlin because the tests of our time require the same fighting spirit. HeÆs pointing to poverty and unemployment as ongoing challenges requiring the worldÆs attention.
Obama says, quote, ōOur work is not yet done.ö

The CD is not working! It cannot be read by the DVD player on my computer. It gets stuck in one spot and when it is trying to download the files my computer says the files are unreadable or missing on the CD. Not good after I spent over $100 to get the new windows 8.
It's so much different than what I'm used to...it took awhile to accept that this was the way it's going to be. Now that I've spent time using it and getting to know the in's and out's...it's so much better than previous versions of windows!
Going from any other OS to Windows 8 is a bit confusing unless you are computer savvy (and have Google on your side :) Toggling between the new and old formats can be confusing) This product is NOT for novice computer users.
This is the worst software to use (not user friendly) for I wanted to use this software to start a new computer that was built for me. Why should I have a OS system installed for this to run? Is not a full version as advertised
I like the concept overall,however, i am against change just for the sake of change. The app screen is very innovative, but doing simple things like managing your own things becomes very difficult. The operating system also makes one feel that microsoft is constantly looking over your shoulder.

I PUT up three Saturday Super Singles and with two winners – Rangers -2 and Morecambe – I was close to wiping out the deficit caused almost solely by Hearts on Friday night. One more Rangers goal would have done it.
With the accumulators it was a tale of near misses – Dunfermline beating the homes and Top Treble and one goal short in the Scottish (Dunfermline again) and English both teams to score treble. A late Motherwell equaliser beating me for three aways.
It was that kind of day and well done to everyone who posted winners including Greg Browning with another successful nap and thechief with his Anders Herrera to score tip which I and many others jumped on.
Scott Allott landed his 11-2 both teams to score treble thanks to Eintracht Frankfurt v Cologne, Atletico Madrid v Barcelona and Preston v Derby and Ryan Allan almost won a 350-1 made line – losing out on the last leg when Barca hit a late winner.
As I always say it's not just about me – especially when I've got a busy weekend working at the Daily Record and Sunday Mail.
Sunday's another busy one with Premier League matches featuring Sunderland v Spurs and Leicester v Aston Villa with the Foxes being well backed. In the Championship it's Fulham v Blackburn.
I'm tempted by Leicester who remain unbeaten under Claudio Ranieri and Fulham should beat a Blackburn side that's only scored two in four games and doesn't seem to have recovered from the sale of Rudy Gestede to Villa.
At Sunderland best bet could be both to score as Dick Advocaat's men have netted in all of their games this season but look dodgy at the back. After netting in England's two games last week Harry Kane is worth a look at 13-10 with 888sport to open his season's account for Spurs and is 4-1 to break the deadlock.
There are games all over the continent with the big one being the Milan derby.
I've been checking form, stats and team news and for the Top Treble I've decided to go with Marseille at home to Bastia, Athletic Bilbao at home to Getafe and Celta Vigo at home to Las Palmas.
Marseille have made a solid start under new coach Michel and their home form is solid. They have scored at least two goals in 17 of their last 20 at the Velodrome and beaten Bastia in five of their last six. The islanders are better at home and Marseille should pick up the points.
Athletic Bilbao expected a good season after beating Barcelona to win the Super Cup but it hasn't turned out that way so far. They lost to Barca in La Liga and then at Eibar buta meeting with Getafe gives them a chance to get back on track.
Getafe have also lost their first two and were thumped 4-0 in Bilbao last season.
Celta Vigo on the other hand have started with two victories and can add a third against the new boys. Las Palmas have been difficult to beat, drawing 0-0 with Levante and losing 1-0 at Atletico Madrid but the lack of goals is a concern.
I was thinking about Torino at Verona for the Super Single but instead tok Sampdoria at home to Bologna but that's been postponed due to the weather.
Instead I'm going with Kane to score. I mentioned him last night and thechief has picked the Spurs man in his write-up. He's due one and his confidence should be back – so let's hope we're both right.
I've picked out an over 2.5 goals treble starting with Utrecht v Vitesse with the last six meetings going over. It's the same for five out of six at Den Haag v Heracles.
We know Carpi love to attack from last season and they've scored in both their Serie A defeats since joining the big boys. Palermo home matches usually go over so add this for the treble.

George Herbert's Travels
International Print and Cultural Legacies
Christopher Hodgkins
The essays in this collection feature many of the world's leading Herbert scholars and are drawn from the more than fifty papers and plenary presentations delivered at the George Herbert's Travels conference held at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in October 2008. They track Herbert's "heart in pilgrimage" through four centuries of time, through west and east across space, through the inner spaces of the suffering body and soul, and through modernity into the postmodern. These essays ask how travel through space and time influences the reception and creation of literary art; in other words, how the movement of poetry affects and effects poetic movements. The interdisciplinary contributors observe Herbert's poetry traveling geographically (from earlier British receptions, to the "American strand," to the Far East), traveling internally (through the interior terrain of formal and bodily experience), and traveling temporally (through the shifting cultural landscapes made by Modern and Postmodern minds). Along the way, they discover connections between Herbert and a kaleidoscopic range of writers and thinkers including Augustine, William Shakespeare, John Donne, Edward Herbert, Anne Clifford, Robert Herrick, Henry Vaughan, Christopher Harvey, Thomas Traherne, Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot,
Elizabeth Bishop, Anne Ridler, R. S. Thomas, Simone Weil, Robert Lowell, James Merrill, Philip Larkin, Harold Bloom, Anthony Hecht, John Bradburne, Seamus Heaney, Dallas Wiebe, Carole Rumens, and Vikram Seth.
Remarkably, the home-bound Herbert anticipates many modern and post-modern traveling hopes and anxieties. He knows the call of sheer wanderlust, the craving to escape "abroad," while also recommending the utilitarian value of travel to improve oneself, to expand one's cultural, commercial, and spiritual horizons. Yet Herbert also somehow knows the jaded disillusionment, the "grief of pleasures" experienced by the prodigal traveler who has been abroad and abroad and abroad, and strikes the board, and cries "No more!" And in the end—literally, at the end of
The Temple
, in
The Church Militant
—he seems to prophesy the present age, in which traveling culture prefigures both millennium and apocalypse.

Our jet lag could not be over winded however, so we took a 3 hour nap :).

Dreaded Day
... Etihad flight to Abu Dhabi. I could feel panic washing over me. I picked that moment to decide I hated flying. I kept imagining crashing and surviving only to have lions eat us in the Serengeti or to crash in the Arabian Sea to be taken by Somalia pirates. The announcement that we would be changing our flight plan to avoid Yemen did nothing to quell my anxiety. A started to think about safely arriving in Abu Dhabi and not being mentally fit to ...

one of the best airline food we have had. We had a free airport transfer to the
Aviator hotel where we were spending the night before our continuing flight to
Mauritius. It was great to finally have a night in a room and eat a meal at a
restaurant. We had a very lazy afternoon and a chance to have a good rest.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I checked our lease today and it said that my roommate cannot have a sublet without landlord approval and I've been living there for 3 months. We've been asking for being put on the main lease for the entire 3 months and no one has ever responded to our emails. IL law says that the landlord cannot refuse a acceptable sublet. However, when I called today to check on the application I had sent in to be added to the lease, the management company sounded really angry that I've been living there not on the lease. Can they evict me and my roommates with 2 months left on our lease? Can they hold our security deposit? We've never paid the rent late and the apartment is immaculate. Theres only 2 months left and the only reason I've been calling to keep the apt for next year
The landlord and your roommate have a written agreement. The lease will control the terms of the tenancy, as long as those terms are not in contravention of applicable law or so restrictive as to violate public policy. If your roommate has not complied with the terms of the agreement, then the lease should provide for the consequences potentially available for his violation of the agreement. You have not stated how many people are living at your place but you did indicate you have more than one roommate. You also stated there is only two months remaining on your roommate's lease and that the rent has been paid in full and on time. While the landlord may be able to terminate your roommate's lease based upon his failure to follow the agreement, in my opinion what the landlord will do will likely depend upon how many more people are living at your place beyond those authorized in the agreement. Unless the size of your place and the people and/or pets are disproportionate, in my opinion it would not be in the interest of your landlord to begin an eviction process. More likely, the landlord will seek an accommodation from your roommate for the additional and unauthorized use of the premises. You state you live in Chicago, Illinois. There are very specific laws governing the proper distribution and/or application of the security deposit. I would recommend you attempt to work through your situation with your landlord. If you cannot reach an accord, then contact an experienced attorney who with more information will be able to properly advise you of your rights and responsibilities.Ask a similar question

I'd Say
You used to be my hero, my knight, my best friend, my dad. And if I could speak to you just one last time, I'd say "..
Did you know
You used to be my hero?
The one I trusted unconditionally
To be there to save me
And catch me when I fall
Did you know
You were my knight, my shining light?
The one I trusted to be my guide
Through the brightest days
And starless nights
Did you know
You were my best friend?
The one who I whispered my secrets to
About friends and adventures
Because I could trust you
To not judge me for them
Did you know
You used to be my dad?
The one I could count on to scare the boys away
Whenever they came knocking
Because you thought your little girl
Was too precious for them
Did you know
That I regret telling you my final secret?
The one that made you pack your bags
And if I could speak to you
Just one last time
I'd say
"I'm sorry for being gay, dad."

Panic attacks actually not dangerous because the brain only tells to our mind if we are in danger, but actually is not right. It is just false alarm for our brain because our brain is sensitive about something that never knows before. Panic works as the alarm in our brain. It tells to our mind to do something or not. If our brain says it is dangerous, our mind and our body automatically will follow the brain instruction. Well, for certain people, this is being a problem because they don't smooth to do or speak something. If people want to heal panic disorder, they can use the 60 Second Panic Solution.
60 Second Panic Solution is the best product to remove any anxiety and panic disorder disease. If people still feel panic with something little, this is maybe panic disorder. People can be afraid with something, but not in excessive feel. People who have panic disorder in their mind will lock themselves in their room, and they don't want to communicate with other people because they don't trust anybody. For certain people, panic can attack their mind, but what if people who get attacked by time. There are certain people who get panic disorder because of time. They always feel panic and anxiety if time runs out. Continue reading →

Patna, Mar 5 (ANI): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, on Thursday, went to watch 'Slumdog Millionare', the Oscar winning rags-to-riches movie, on a cycle-rickshaw.
Kumar, however, claims that it was no publicity stunt and the decision was his personal choice.
After watching the movie with great interest, Kumar appreciated it saying that the film would spread a positive message especially among the poor people of the country, which would encourage them to achieve something in life.
"The film is good from all aspects. It can be termed as an excellent film. I am really happy to watch this film. I would say I utilised my time. After watching this movie, everyone would confident that even if one is born and brought up in poverty, still one can achieve something in life through hard work," said Kumar.
Slumdog Millionaire swept the Oscars, winning eight awards including the award for 'Best Picture'.
It also earned Oscars for best director (Danny Boyle), best-adapted screenplay (Simon Beaufoy), best cinematography, sound mixing, film editing, original score by composer A.R. Rahman and best song for "Jai Ho".
Only seven other films have won eight or more awards in the Oscar history.
Aiming to spice up its election campaign, Congress party has bought the rights of the song "Jai Ho", one of the songs in the film which got an Oscar for A.R. Rahman for his music composition.
The opposition parties have described the latest Congress move as an election gimmick.
Kumar mocked the Congress saying that song will boomerang on it and would result in the party's defeat instead.
"I was wondering what has happened to Congress party...... why are they saying 'Jai ho'? What struggle have they done in life? Apart from few years, Congress was in rule always. And even after 60 years, slums are still there and people are living a hard life there. I believe "Jai ho" would be boomerang for Congress party. And this 'jai ho' would result in their defeat," said Kumar.
The Congress, on the other hand, claim that the party fought for the independence of the country, consolidated it and during the last five years took steps to fight terrorism and improve the life of the people.
India will hold a general election between April 16 and May 13 in a mammoth logistical exercise in which 714 million people will cast their votes. (ANI)

Main service panels
Main Panels are they both legal according to NEC.?
1. Main Service Panel 100,200 amps
2. Main Service Panel lug 100, 200 amps
Both with proper circuit breakers .
Not exactly sure what you're looking for here. More info?
Used in the correct application, any of the those items would be compliant.
More info on the panels
Main service panel looking at it has a main breaker installed up top that says main and turns on and off up and down position.
Main lug panel has busses with lugs and a breaker is added at the top with sideways action.
This describes a main lug panel with a breaker (back-fed) to provide a disconnect. You do not need a breaker installed in a main lug panel to use it as a service panel. The disconnect breaker can be installed remote from the panel and the feeder connected directly to the panel main lugs. A very common installation scenario.

Bright green gel and a vibrating 5-blade razor? How far we have fallen, gentlemen. Grow back some of your manhood with a real man's shave. Texas-based Dirty Deeds Soaps makes classic shave kits that include natural beer-soap lather, boar bristle brushes, and other shaving essentials all packaged in up-cycled wooden cigar boxes.

Dental floss bikini, yes. Actual dental floss, well… We can all agree that the act of flossing kinda just sucks in general, so the Philips Sonicare AirFloss is going to be a big one this Christmas. Rather than shredding your gums with waxed wire, this thing "dislodges interdental plaque and bacteria with rapid bursts of air and water."
You're not scared to spend a whole Saturday shining up your rims so why not put the same care into the upkeep of your grill? Philips' latest electronic toothbrush will work wonders on your pearly whites in just a minute or two. Plus, it recharges wirelessly in the high-tech rinsing glass via induction or by USB plug-in for travel.
Market research has revealed Americans are suckers for any product named after animals. This fact may or may not have anything to do with the naming of Bulldog Mens Skincare. They make natural grooming products of all types from manly moisturizers to fair-trade shave gels. If you're trying to avoid those deep bull dog wrinkles, they even make an anti-aging cream. This stuff is definitely not tested on animals and their website gives a breakdown of every ingredient.
Women don't eat musk or pinecones or any of the other stuff that men's cologne is made to smell like. But many of them eat meat. That's why a little spritz of this barbecue scented cologne could reel them right in. What red-blooded female won't swoon at the smoky, fleshy essence of grilled meat? Spray some on your carcass and find out.
Not 4 blades, not 3. Amazingly, just one. This compact little razor has been working miracles on scruffy travelers since 1931, so it should do the trick for you. Made of chrome-plated nickel & brass, it disassembles into 3 pieces and fits snugly into its own little leather carrying case. Look sharp.
For the most part, having a beard is all fun & games. Until it starts stinking. You know, the real raunchy beard-stank you get after a brutal workout or a long day at the mattress factory? Sort of smells like Indian food and fungus? You never noticed it? Really? Well, other people definitely have. Maybe now is a good time to get some all-natural cedarwood beard oil.
Well, this took awhile. We've all been clipping our nails with the same drug store cheapo clipper since the Spanish American War. And finally, U.S.-made Khlip has totally updated and redesigned the nail clipper. It's made of surgical stainless with a new blade and lever configuration. Clipping is easier and your nails won't go flying off through the air, so you could say it's less gross, too.
In the days when a real shave meant a trip to the barbershop and offering your neck up to the straight-edge razor, Bay Rum is the stuff they slapped you across the face with afterwards. Sure, it helped stop the bleeding a bit but, more importantly it soothed and cooled a freshly shorn face. If you're a man who appreciates that zesty snap in an aftershave, rejoice, this old stuff is still available in its original formula. Slap yourself with it.
You hate them, but to their credit, condoms reduce the spread of disease and you have to admit the extra "stamina" they provide us guys is actually a bonus for both involved parties. Safe sex is still sex and Sir Richards' brand condoms are taking a unique approach to marketing their latex. For each condom sold, one is donated to contraception programs in developing & underprivileged countries. Do good while you feel good? Sure.

A Conspiracy So Immense
Did "Deep Throat" disclose Watergate secrets as part of an orchestrated attempt to unseat the head of the FBI?
When we think of J. Edgar Hoover in his heyday, it is as a powerful figure of the 1950s and early 1960s. Clint Eastwood's recent biopic, for instance, leaves the impression that Hoover died shortly after Richard Nixon became president in 1969. In fact, Hoover's fatal heart attack did not come until May 1972, when Nixon had been president for more than three years and Hoover was approaching a half-century as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
More to the point, Hoover's death came just a few weeks before...

I am ecstatic to share that I am in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy with a baby boy, all thanks
I have to say that I was relieved to see some people sharing similar stories such as mine. Prior to me visiting Dr. El-Roeiy, I read nothing but wonderful reviews. I wasn't sure if my feeling were geared to my infertility issues, or if I had a truly shady doctor looking to profit from IVF at any cost.
As many of you've outlined, I too have had a HORRIBLE experience with Dr. El-Roeiy. I went in for my laparoscopy, and has no idea that Dr. El-Roeiy intended to REMOVE BOTH my tubes. After my re-admin test were sent to the office, I was told to come in for a final exam and to sign consent forms. It was at the time of signing, that I got a chance to review the operative plan, and I was MORTIFIED. I explained to Dr. El-Roeiy that I was more interested in an investigate surgery. I wanted to know what was going on in my tubes and then think about what I wanted to do with that information. Up until this point, I had the very best experience with the doctor. However, after discovering his intentions and voicing my concerns, he turned into a very nasty patronizing person.
He then told me that "SURGERY IS NOT FOR INVESTIGATION", and even went on to say " YOUR TUBES ARE A MESS AND I DO NOT DO SURGERY FOR FUN, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HAVE YOUR TUBES REMOVED, THEN WE CAN CANCEL THE SURGERY, I WILL NOT EVEN WASTE MY TIME". In my mind, I knew I didn't want to have both of my tubes removed. I had already scheduled the surgery, arranged for time off at work and it was less than a week away. With tears in my eyes I turned to the doctor and said "well, since you mentioned that my Right side was worst then my left based on the HSG you performed, could you maybe only take the really bad one, I'm not ready part with both of my tubes at the moment." He agreed but not before mentioning that "…You will NEVER GET PREGNANT without IVF and you're chances of a successful IVF with your tubes filled with fluid is slim". Prior to this conversation, I had never expressed any interest in IVF. I explained to him that due to the finical aspect of an IVF procedure, IVF was definitely NOT AN OPTION for me and getting pregnant with no tubes is virtually impossible, whereas at least with blockage I have a percentage of a chance. He tried to go on about his new low cost option, however I stood firm on my ground, and we continued with the surgery a week later per my specification to only remove one tube.
The day of surgery he did not greet me with the big friendly smile. It was almost as if he felt like performing this surgery was a waste of his time. He was really nonchalant and cold.
As I am getting ready to be released from the hospital after my surgery, I noticed that the doctor has written a prescription for 800mg of Motrin. I knew that I needed a stronger script, so I asked the nurse to call him, and he REFUSED! None of the nurses could understand why he was denying me the medication, but hinted that this was not his first time doing this. I then waited in recovery for an additional 4 hours for him to come into my recovery room and give me a differ script. At that time, the pain meds has worn off, and I was in excruciating pain. He wrote the script and walked out of the room. That was that.
Months later, I remained under the impression that I would never get pregnant w/o IVF. So, I started to consider it, and looked further into my options. I happen to stumble upon a medical study offing IVF. I was accepted in the study, but before I could get started with any treatment or medications, it was revealed that I was no longer eligible. This was due to a POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST! I was shocked because my cycle had ended only a few days ago, but later found out that I had a chemical miscarriage. They study site told me to call on the 1 day of my next period to schedule my visit and we would more forward after that.
One month later, and my period is late again. I took a preg test, and it was positive. Unfortunately, my period did come on 10 later, so before I went back to the study site, I decided to get a 2nd opinion on my whole blocked tube diagnosis from Dr. El-Roeiy. My first stop was u-pen, however they totally relayed on post op report from Dr. El- Roeiy's office, and their only suggestion was to do IVF. Nest stop, bryn mawr. It was here that I got some really DISTURBING NEWS ON DR. EL-ROEIY!!!
The doc at Bryn Mawr informed me that they hear all the time how Dr. El-Roeiy is prone to push patient to have IVF or is quick to yank out their tubes. I am really upset that I did not stand my ground and not let Dr. El-Roeiy take either of my tubes. I am hopeful that I will get pregnant again, but just wanted to warn EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN!!!!
Excellent service, remarkable and warm staff, incredible treatment and personel care, highest pregnancy rate.
Dr. El Roeiy is an excellent doctor, he and his staff are very caring of your needs. If you need anything or have questions at anytime he is always there. He help my husband and I with our first child, and we are considering doing it again with Dr. El Roeiy.

I dived to a more comfortable five hundred feet, where the air wasn't as chilly. My neck felt numb and the wind still found ways of getting behind my visor. My slowed hands played across my instruments as my eyes scanned the skies.
My left eye became irritated and I blinked rapidly, sending small red dots into my visor. The dull pain in my forehead became more acute and a small shaft of light at the top of my visor caught my eye. My left hand moved across my head until it found the glass in my skin, wiping just below. I returned to scanning the skies when a missile from above caught my eye. My fighter dipped to the treeline and pulled to the left, directing the missile into the trees.The roar of an all too familiar J-20 engine made me check my back. It followed close, firing it's main gun. I went lower, ducking back and forth. A missile launched from the trees and I barely lifted my left wing. It soared past, circling around. Why do you have non-detectable missiles?!
A F-22 fell to my right a click away, smashing into the ground. My gaze almost lingered too long, bullets nicked my rear fin. I slammed the afterburner and took the freezing air. A missile lock screamed, the J-20 only sixty meters away. Dammit!
The J-20 exploded behind me, a F-22 came into view and matched my velocity beside me. Duke lifted his visor, lowered it and gave an old world war 2 hand signal. I tried to reach my memory for those lessons I had performed a brain dump on. Frustrated, I waved my hands, gave Duke a thumbs up, pointed at the sky and made a throat slitting motion. Duke nodded, pointed at the sky, his fighter, made a fist and accelerated up. So... he goes up... and... uhh...
After a minute, I saw what Duke wanted. He rolled to the earth, pursued by three J-11s. Grinning, I accelerated perpendicular to their wings and fired, cutting down two. The last tried to pull out without avail, his plane shredded by one of dukes missiles. I relaxed a little and pulled to the right. My hand slipped of the joystiq, still wet with blood. A little shocked, I gripped the joystiq harder. Duke lined his fighter besides mine and gave a thumbs up. Then, the middle finger. Wait... what?
He pointed in the direction of the airfield and made a zero with his fingers. I nodded and we went full afterburner to the air-base. My fighter jumped on landing, literally dipping into a pothole from airbourne shelling. I corrected and met the mechanics in a hanger with Duke. They fitted our fighters with new ordinance/fuel and threw a new canopy on mine from a damaged fighter. A mechanic tossed a hand held radio into my cockpit and closed the canopy. Angry, I yelled behind the closing canopy "How is this going to work?!"
It closed and the mechanics waved me off the airfield. Shaking, I grabbed the radio and asked "Duke, you there?"
Duke responded "Yeah... these radios work of a different kind of signal. Almost like a cell phone."
"Why don't we already have these?"
"Cost and the air-force doesn't give-a-shit for situations they don't think will happen. Mechanics must've borrowed them from the army."
The word army gave me hope. AA sites should be up soon. Duke mumbled "Ever get tired of being separated from Sidewinder?"
"Damn, already br-"
"She likes you, you know that, right?"
I pushed the throttle down, taking of before the potholes. Duke followed, moving to my right. Pale, I lifted the radio back up and stated "I've known you two for literally two days."
Duke chuckled "Really? It's felt like weeks to me."
"Alright, what's my favourite place?"
"The Mojave?"
"You just won't let this go!"
"Birds and bees can't."
"You know what? Do me a favour and crawl into a bush and die." Guilt instantly stabs me. Why did I say die?
Irritated, I stated "Man, I hate to say it, but there is a shit load of China men to deal with."
As if to prove me right, a wing of J-20s peeled of towards us.
