[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Works with dynamic content?
Will this plugin work with dynamic content (like random images, random posts)?
Of course it is a contradiction between dynamic content and caching. I've skipped WP Super cache because it is said to "freeze" the displayed content. (Nothing bad said about that plugin, there is a reason why it is so popular :o)

Those are going to be some happy, well-fed kids! BTW, how much corn do you add to your creamed corn recipe? This may be in my immediate future...

I have always used this method to reheat our turkey dinner leftovers. All those flavors mingle together and makes for any easy, delicious way to fix leftovers. Sometimes, like you did, I make the ingredients just so we can have the leftovers!

I'd love the Thanksgiving in a cup! I have the same question about the corn - how much? Based on the amount of milk and cream cheese, I'm sure it's more than a single can or bag :o)

David saw this and wants to go get a new slow cooker for me because mine blew whatever it is that they can blow. Anywho now I'm making this recipe for Saturday. I like the fact that it a slow cooker and I won't have to slave over a hot stove.

Lots of advice for modern parents provokes debate. But ask whether today's children spend as much time playing outdoors and exploring nature as previous generations did, and you'll find little disagreement: They don't. Across the nation, worried parents tell stories of neighborhoods where children are neither seen nor heard. "I speak all over the country and it's a concern that comes up all over," says Harvard psychology professor Susan Linn, director of the Campaign for a CommercialFree Childhood. "There is a growing movement of parents who are concerned and are trying to figure out how to get their kids outside." Rosemarie Truglio, a Sesame Workshop vice president who has butted heads with Linn on the subject of marketing licensed characters, agrees with her fully on this topic. Episodes of this year's "Sesame Street" will focus
on nature, she says, because preschoolers' lack of connection with it has gotten to be of critical concern. "Children have that sense of awe and wonder," Truglio says. "We need to have parents encourage them to be outside and to engage in activities so that they are using their senses." But even parents who love the outdoors say it's difficult. Kristin Eno, founder and director of Little Creatures Films, produces videos about children interacting with nature. "My work is all about nature," she says, "and there are days when I might be here with my 14-month-old and have no time for going outside." "But every time I do go out with her, I'm glad I did," she says. "You see this peace when she's outside."

Full Time RVing... Full time RVing has become a popular choice for folks going into retirement as the travel bug amongst baby boomers has struck! They are joining the recreational vehicle crowd in large numbers. When deciding how to plan your retirement, boomers might consider this option because they can travel at their own pace, more easily travel with their pets, enjoy the sites they may have missed when they were too busy to travel during the working years, and they can rest and relax at any location they desire.
If full time RVing is going to be how to plan your retirement, then be sure it is a lifestyle you have tried and enjoy. When Hilga and I first decided that RVing would be something we would do in later years, and that was when we were in our twenties, we decided to rent RV's first to be sure that full time RVing would be something that we would enjoy. So, we started ten years ago we rented a twenty eight foot, Class A gas RV. We traveled in it for three weeks. We had never driven one before, nor knew anything
about how the RV systems worked. Fortunately, the RV rental company gave us a complete walk through of the RV, and a twenty four hour number to call if we had any questions. We put thirty five hundred miles on the RV on that first trip, and we had a blast! Everything worked so well and it was easy to drive, even for Hilga. We were hooked!

KID BUSINESS Continued from Page 7 Some kids are notoriously difficult to feed, even with all the amenities in a modern kitchen and the best of pre-processed, boxed "kid food." Camping is a wonderful opportunity to encourage that sense of adventure and branch out a little in the nutritional department.
Now is not the time to insist on a balanced diet, you can bat nutritional clean up when you get home.
What kid doesn't like packaging up a little piece of hamburger and few slices of potatoes and carrots in tin foil and poking it down into the coals of a campfire to cook? Is there anything that says "childhood camping trip" like Jiffy Pop burned slightly over a campfire?
Make use of that picnic table and keep a supply of "drive by" food on deck for kids to snag on the run between swimming and bug catching.
Remember your goal: to make the kids fall in love with camping and have fun!
Break out the hotdogs and roasting sticks, gorge yourselves on marshmallows and teach the fine art of creating that perfect brown shell.
Don't forget to pack a few "comfort foods," flavors that will be very familiar and comforting to a child who is beginning to feel a little out of his element… just in case.

Let's Go Camping
By Jeff Crider
Private Campgrounds offer an increasing variety of Fun
A recent study by Kampgrounds of America, The Coleman Company and the Outdoor Foundation of America estimated that only 15 percent Americans camp, which is astounding given that camping remains the most affordable vacation option. But campgrounds affiliated with GoCampingAmerica.com aim to change that statistic, and they're doing it partly by offering rental accommodations as well as a combination of fun family activities that you simply can't find anyplace else. No longer limiting themselves to canoe and kayak rentals, many GoCampingAmerica campgrounds now have inflatable floating trampolines as well as floating and landbased water slides. Others offer guided nature walks, horseback riding, ropes courses and ziplines ranging from 300 to 800 feet.
Activities range from zany cardboard boat races to family Olympics games, scavenger hunts and outdoor cooking competitions. Some parks even offer hot air balloon rides, while others offer wine tasting events and children's classes in Yoga. Many also offer concierge-like services and can provide you with discount coupons to nearby attractions. "You really can use private campgrounds as base camps for exploring nearby attractions or simply stay at the park and enjoy the activities, entertainment and recreational amenities that they have on site," said Paul Bambei, president and CEO of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, which hosts the GoCampingAmerica travel planning website. Bambei added that many private campgrounds are
extending their activities programs well into September and October with fall festivals as well as Oktoberfest and Halloween-themed events. About a third of the campgrounds affiliated with GoCampingAmerica.com offer rental accommodations, including RVs, park model cabins, cottages and yurts and safari tents. "Many of our affiliated parks have cabins and luxury park models with clean sheets and full size kitchen appliances, so you can cook you own meals and keep your meal costs under control," Bambei said. At some GoCampingAmerica campgrounds, you can even spend the night in furnished tree houses, covered wagons, tipis and trains.

The Wonders of
Birding By Joe Elton
When you think of state parks - swimming, hiking, biking, fishing and picnicking are all things that come to mind. More and more, I see people wildlife watching and birding. Recently I played chauffer and camera man for my wife Patty and her "birding mentor" Wendy Ealding. Wendy has traveled the globe adding species to her life list. She has a great ear and eye for this recreational pursuit. I might see a yellow bird – but Wendy sees the eye ring, the markings on the throat, wings, belly and head and she identifies if it is breeding plumage or not. Wendy and Patty have a passion for birding like some have for running – it's a daily obsession. I find that it's a great deal of fun being in the great
Magnolia Warbler
outdoors with those who have this level of experience, talent and passion.
Remarkably, they make it fun for a novice birder like me and don't seem to mind dragging me along.
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Last weekend was a good day for birding as weather conditions had migrants on the move. While we visited the Amelia Wildlife Management Area, there were birders in the next county visiting Powhatan State Park on the Historic James River – a park that has been acquired and master planned and is under construction. I saw a terrific report from one birding enthusiast -
ALL STATES HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER "Migration really picked up this past week. We were able to get out to Powhatan State Park on both Wednesday and Friday. Grasshopper Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlarks and Blue Grosbeaks greet us in the fields as we drive in. Indigo Bunting's and Prairie Warblers sound off and Bobwhite are calling non-stop right next to our station. This week we had a surprise sparrow, a Lincoln's Sparrow, definite learning experience in Sparrow ID. We added Northern Waterthrush and Magnolia Warbler to the list. Turkeys are gobbling and there have been many frog and snake sightings." This spring Smith Mountain Lake State Park in central Virginia placed a webcam on a structure placed in the lake to attract nesting Ospreys.
sometimes known as sea hawks, fish hawks or fish eagles. They are large raptors, reaching more than 24 inches in length with a wing span of 70 inches. They are brown on the upper part of their body and predominantly grey on the head and underside. They have a distinctive black eye patch and black on their wings. Check out the nest pair at http://www.virginiaoutdoors.com/arti cle/more/3622 - the chicks should be hatching soon. No matter what state you're traveling in – all 50 states have great state parks that offer spectacular opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. I'm partial to Virginia's diversity made possible by its three distinct regions – mountain, piedmont and coastal. We have it all from the Alleghany Highlands and Blue Ridge Mountains to the historic rivers of

in paradise Get into the Great Outdoors
Utah takes its name from the Apache word for the Navajo, or Yuttahih, "one that is higher up." Europeans mistakenly thought this referred to the peoples who lived higher up in the mountains than the Navajo, so they called these high mountain-dwelling people Utes. Today, Utah's Shoshoni, Goshute, Ute, Paiute and Navajo (Dine') peoples continue to thrive on the lands of their ancestors. The Goshute, Navajo, and Paiute occupy lands in the desert regions of the state and adopted cultures relative to that region. The Shoshone and Ute culture was similar until they acquired the horse and adopted a mountain plains way of life, which enabled them to expand their range and hunt large game animals. Utah's five distinct American Indian cultures honor unique heritages that may be found among the state's many sacred places, dwelling sites, rock art locations and museum exhibits. Because most of Utah's resorts lie in such close proximity to each other, it is easy for visitors to ski several resorts during one vacation.
Golfing In the Salt Lake Valley alone there are over 40 golf courses, with 30 more less than one hour's drive from downtown. Course designs range from high elevation tracks along the Wasatch foothills, staid parkland courses more than a century old, stunning lakeside courses and famed desert courses in Southern Utah. With public course green fees averaging $35.00 (including cart), Utah is home to the best golf value anywhere.
Whether you're a novice or expert, looking to ski immaculate, corduroy-groomed slopes or bottomless, deep powder, Utah resorts offer it all. Crossroads of the West Collectively, Utah's resorts are home to 26,000 skiable acres of the most accessible terrain in North America.
Skiing Utah is home to 13 world-class ski resorts, 11 located within an hour of Salt Lake City International Airport.
Utah is known worldwide for its Greatest Snow on Earth®, with an average of 500 inches of the lightest, driest powder blanketing Utah's pristine slopes each winter.
A place where the cowboys and girls are the real deal and ranching is still a way of life. Yet, Utah's ranch scene has plenty of interesting surprises. So come "cowboy up" in rustic or civilized style in this authentically western state!
GETTING AROUND THE STATE Festivals Come celebrate with us! Every year Utah brings the world together through a variety of festivals celebrating cultural diversity and the human spirit. This has always been a land of contrasts, from the Utah Arts Festival, showcasing local, national and international artists, to Snowbird's Oktoberfest celebrating Germany's finest food, beer and music. It's about family and friends, with a little cultural flavor thrown in to keep things interesting. The Sundance Film Festival, held
considered the premier U.S. showcase for American and international independent film. The Utah Shakespearean Festival is Tony Award-winning, named "America's Outstanding Regional Theatre" in 2000. Glenn Dicterow, Concertmaster of the NY Philharmonic, has described Park City and the International Music Festival as one of the most "magical" spots on Earth for chamber music. The Utah Arts Festival has attracted more than two million people, 4,500 performances and 3,600 artist's displays for over 30 years running!
Kids Paradise Come play in Utah's natural playground of state and national parks, mountain resorts, whitewater rivers, fishing lakes and streams and the coolest rock formations on the planet. Or if your youthful interests lie beyond Utah's earthen adventures, explore dinosaur museums, amusement and water parks, zoos and resorts.
Deaf Timberfest a Big Hit at Jellystone Park in Pennsylvania From Pittsburgh Tribune-Review When Ron Markel attended the world pro lumberjack event 15 years ago, he noticed that there were no interpreters and thus no way for deaf people to participate. "We decided to found our own world deaf lumberjack (event)," he said in sign language. Markel, a logger from Williamsport, Md., helped to found the Eastern Deaf Timberfest, a four-day event held this year at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Mill Run in Fayette County. More than 1,000 deaf people were expected to participate by the end of the weekend. Participants compete in activities including logging contests, water log-rolling, chain saw competitions, ax throwing, pole climbing, darts and horseshoes. The event also featured a Mr. and Ms. Timberfest competition as well as entertainment and activities for children. This is the 11th Eastern Deaf Timberfest, which started as a yearly event and now is held every two years. It's held at various locations across the East, and this is its first time in Western Pennsylvania. The event is organized by a committee of volunteers, and
it's held every other year at a different campsite. On Timberfest off years, a family camp is held. The vast majority of participants are deaf, Markel said, though a few hearing children of deaf parents participate. Markel and the other participants spoke through volunteer interpreter David Wright of Orange County, Va. "I am proud of 1,000 deaf people. Deaf power," Markel said, as he used his hand to cover his ear, then pumped his arm in the air. As Markel signed, participants nearby practiced climbing a tall wooden pole while others tried their hand at cutting through a hefty log with a chain saw. In both events, participants compete for the best time. At first, many deaf people didn't know how to use the tools for the event, Markel said, but they've learned and become experts. Markel, who serves as the event's logging assistant director, attends workshops and courses to learn about safety guidelines.
"It is completely run by the deaf," Marie Ann Campbell, the event's chairwoman, said. She said she finds Timberfest exciting. "If it wasn't for Timberfest, we wouldn't have the time to be with our friends," said Campbell, of Charles Town, W.Va. Attendees travel from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and even the West Coast, she said. Participants either stay on the campgrounds or at nearby hotels. Rick Colosimone traveled from Ottawa, Ont., and called the event a "heartfelt" one, full of "warm friendship." Bruce Hubbard, one of the founders, said he knows of four other similar events in the nation. Campbell calls him "grandfather of the Timberfest." Beth Hortie, executive director of Eastern Deaf Timberfest, said the event brings everyone together talking about wood, relaxing and sharing in fellowship with one another. "It's our leisure, recreation activity," Hortie said.

Using an RV Checklist on your Next Trip There are many different versions of these RV checklists available out there to use on your camping outings. They are extremely useful tools and once you start getting in the habit of using them on a regular basis, you will get through all of it easier. Most encompass the inside preparations and then the outside. Some even include mapping out your itinerary while you are having fun. The best words of advice I have seen are to study a few lists out there and make your own. When looking at the outside, walk in a circle around the RV. Take the time to look at and tick off of your list: tire wear, tire pressure, propane tanks, plumbing tanks, siding of the RV, proper fit of doors, solid hitches, landing gear, brake lights, brakes, awnings properly stowed, check the fluids in the engine compartment, and inspect the tow package pieces. This is a brief overview of what you can look for. All vehicles are different, so tailor your list to yours. Inside, perform safety checks on all your electrical and alarms. Replace batteries in smoke alarms and Co2 detectors. Test all appliances, heating and cooling, check all plumbing for any repairs needed, seals need looked at and possibly changed, open and close all vents to make sure they work for ventilation,load up kitchen goods, food, clothing, towels, blankets, and toiletries. Make sure that if you are packing cupboards and drawers, that
they are securely closed in the event of shifting while traveling to your destination. It isn't just important to take care of what is going on in the RV. What about your home while you are gone? Some lists incorporate these things as well to keep you nicely focused, to remind you of them so you don't overlook something. Think of things like your home alarm, who will take the call if the alarm goes off? Can you hold your mail at the post office? Check the locks on your doors, pack any bills you may need to pay while away, arrange for lawn care, refill any prescriptions you may run out of before returning. Depending on your length of stay away, prepare for issues that will come up and bring
means batteries, flashlights, lanterns, first aid kit, distilled water, propane, bulbs, oil, antifreeze, WD-40...perhaps add that section to the checklist. Being prepared for the worst will allow you to enjoy the very best that your trip will bring. These checklists are to make it a simpler process to get you on the road and will become second nature the more you do it. Use one for a while and tweak it to your liking, then just create your own and stick to it. You might be surprised at what defects you find...disaster averted! It is gratifying knowing your vacation could have gone very wrong but because you were proactive, it will be a very happy time in the outdoors. By Bill Weston

chuckwagon, before bedding down under the Kansas stars. If you are looking for more comfortable accommodations many ranches provide a cabins and a hearty breakfast to start your busy day. From the fossilized remains of an ancient inland sea and great explorers searching for gold to the establishment of the aerospace industry and suburbia history abounds in Kansas. Its central location has made
Kansas a crossroads for generations. The trails that were the precursor to today' Interstate highways traveled through our state. The Santa Fe and Oregon Trails may have been the most famous for transporting people and cargo. Even mail traveled through Kansas via the Pony Express. Many forts were set up along their paths to help protect the travelers on their journey. These trails gave way to railroads that crisscrossed the state creating many communities that people today call home.
GETTING AROUND THE STATE When kansas was frontier, the Santa Fe, Oregon and Chisholm trails carried travelers to exploration and adventure. Today, hikers, horseback riders and bicyclists can enjoy plenty of modern-day adventure exploring the state's extensive and varied network of trails. Hunting has a long a rich heritage in Kansas, offering some of the best upland bird, waterfowl and big game hunting in the country. With 300,000 acres of public land and more than 1 million acres of private land open to hunters, the state offers an abundance of pheasants, deer, quail, turkey and geese. Kansas waters are unsurpassed for fishing variety, whether you're angling for largemouth bass and saugers, or crappie, giant bluegill and other panfish. In addition to reservoirs and rivers, smaller fishing lakes are Kansas' hidden gems, sparkling oases tucked in the folds and creases of the prairie. Count on the Sunflower State, if you love to camp. No matter whether you'd rather pitch a tent under a shade tree or park the RV on a full-service pad, you'll find comfortable and scenic spots to set up at lakes and campgrounds across Kansas. Whether you like to play or watch, Kansas has plenty of sports opportunities for you to cheer about.
Casinos: All bets are on at a Kansas casino where you can test your luck on the tables or the slots. College & Pro Sports: Kansas boasts some of the best tradition in the nation when it comes to our college athletics and our pro and semi-pro sports are as entertaining as they come. Golf: It's tee time all the time during the Kansas golf season and you'll only have to make a short drive from anywhere in the state to find a course. Racing: If you feel the need for speed, Kansas has motorsports and horse and dog tracks to fulfill it. Rodeo: And if the thrill of the rodeo is what you seek, we have that too. Kansas is known as the breadbasket because of its
Lifestyle wheat production. The smell of fresh baked breads, pies or a host of other baked made from Kansas wheat welcomes diners across the state. BBQ, fried chicken and Kansas beef offers protein and to round out your meal, fresh vegetables can be found at farmers markets across the state. Kansas is home to ten byways, two of which are officially designated National Scenic Byways. In addition to the breathtaking surroundings, you'll enjoy an abundance of activities and a variety of incredible terrain, wildlife and living styles. Each byway tells a story, and the stories in Kansas are as fascinating as they come.

Blue Earth : Soft Pastel Sets
Blue Earth Pastels are available in boxed sets of 6, 12, 21 and 28 sticks. The 6 and 12 stick sampler boxes are an easy way for artists to test the unique feel and handling qualities of Blue Earth Pastels. The 21 stick sampler boxes feature the seven-tone structure that is common to all the Blue Earth colours. With seven tones it is possible for an artist to paint anything, even with a limited colour range.
Of the large 28 stick boxes, six represent the primary colours (warm and cool) and four boxes are devoted to the secondary colours. Each contains the pure colour hue represented in six values from light to dark and twelve greyed variations. The remaining 28 stick boxes are composed of neutral colours.
The Blue Earth Pastels take a traditional approach to colour theory and colour wheel arrangement. The Blue Earth colours are organised in the nineteenth century manner: by hue, value and intensity. This sensible colour wheel arrangement makes finding the right colour with the correct value quick and easy.
Only lightfast, high density mineral pigments are used in the manufacture of Blue Earth Pastels. The pastels are almost square in shape and are on the very soft end of the hardness scale. Each stick has a number imprinted for easy identification. Blue Earth offer an impressive colour selection, with new Turquoise, Nearly Neutral Warm and Nearly Neutral Cool lines recently added to the original colour ranges.

Buying Gold Coins Online - Buy Gold Coins Online _____________________________________________________________________________________
By Raon Richo - http://uncirculatedgoldcoins.net/
Buying gold coins online today is fast and easy. However, you need to get to know the company that you are dealing with. There are some out there online who offer gold coins and make buying them a simple procedure, but the coins they offer may only be gold plated coins. They'll say so and maybe they'll use a different term other than "plated", but you need to make sure.
Click Here
Some online companies are more regulated than others. Research into their credentials, and check up on them. See to it that you are dealing with a professional coin dealer with years of experience in the industry. Find out if they belong to any groups that would ensure good quality business dealings in the company.
Are they members of the American Numismatic Association or the Industry Council of Tangible Assets? How do the stand with the Better Business Bureau? Inquire about these things, and do some digging to make sure their credentials measure up before you decide to begin buying gold coins with any company.
Another thing to look for is authenticity - if they provide any official documentation which authenticates their products and guarantees that they deal with the genuine article. There are some very good establishments out there with long-standing professional reputations... it's all a matter of knowing what to look for when you seek out an online source for buying gold coins. Once you find a good candidate, ask around among those in the coin collecting community what they may think of the company you've found. Once you've found a good one, you've struck gold.

Excellent value! Love the look in my fireplace can't build a fire; this is a great substitute.Read More
Nice size. I put scented tea lights in - - adds to ambiance.Read More
Adds to my empty fireplace. The candles do not really add a lot, but the colors with the screen closed look like hot embers.Read More
Received the product and started using it. Love it since I don't want a real fire in the fire place.Read More
The only surprise when I opened the box was how small the log set was. I'm sure the dimensions were listed in the description, but I was still surprised by the size. As other reviewers have said, no one is going to mistake this for real logs, but I think the point is to give the idea of a fire, and this log with candles does do that. If you close the screen over the fireplace, the red glow does give the illusion of a fire in the fireplace, even without the candles being lit. So yes, for the money, I would recommend this product, as it is better than an empty fireplace. I did buy some black tea candles, as one review suggested, although I have not yet tried them. White tea candles come with the log set.Read More
For accasional use if ok...course for the price was not expecting a "log burning" effect.Read More
I was not sure if I would like this, but I love it! When the tea lights are burning, the glowing embers are pretty cool! I did not expect it to look as good as it does!Read More
Its a little fake looking but not that noticeable behind the fire screen, I'm happy with this productRead More
It is actually really cute in my little fire place and it does give the room warmth. I need to find some black tea lights because the white ones look stupid. Overrall I am very satisfied with my purchase. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, add ambiance. No one is about to mistake it as a real fire...lol.Read More
Nice to have when you don"t want to mess with logs and ashes. We have a double sided fireplace so I bought 2 and place them back to back. Looks great, and I don't have to worry about wood popping out. The grandkids love blowing out the candles.Read More
You are paying for a chunk of resin shaped like a log, something that should sell for no more than 12.99 or so. However, it does look nice from a distance. I am renting a unit with a fireplace and did not want anything overly expensive or messy, and this fits the bill. I found some tea lights at ***** so it costs about .30 cents for 3-4 hours of candle light.Read More
I have a Fireplace in my home for the effect not for actually use. The Ember Tea Light provides the perfect ambiance to the room. It is even better than I had anticipated!Read More
I was not enjoying the fire place in my family room untill I received Ember Tea Light Resin Log . We enjoy looking at the sparkling red crystals that light up the fire place , the tea lights last 4 to 6 hrs . This was one of my best buys here .NOW WE ENJOY OUR FIRE PLACE DAY AND NIGHT !Read More
We have white tile around our fireplace, and this log really looks great with it.Read More
I have a fireplace in my office area at home and didn't want the mess of real wood, but I wanted the look. This is very nice and the red glitter sparkles from the light of the tea candles. My husband likes it as well and I found the look I wanted without the mess. I would highly recommend this item.Read More
I would recommend this product to anyone who has a fireplace and lives in a warm climate or to anyone one who would prefer not to have an empty unlit bare fireplace in the summer months. It does give a nice romantic feeling when used in a bedroom fireplace. I would recommend it more highly than the gel I had originally bought for my fireplace. The gel is supposed to be odorless but I found the gel to have an odor even in a well ventilated room. I much prefer the resin log. It is a great buy for the price. :)Read More
Over priced for what you actually get. Not packed well for shipping.Read More
I'm very happy with my purchase. For the price it's exactly what I wanted. It fits great on the fireplace log rack. Would recommend it to anyone, the light reflection is great, even in the day light it looks like it's glowing.Read More
All the time, I was looking for something that I can put in my fireplace as a decorative log. I lived in Florida in a house with a fireplace but I would not want to use the fireplace as it's not necessary. But I always wanted to have a decorative log that resemble a true burning log when lighted. Finally, I saw this log at Overstocked.com and was very happy to find the one thing I wanted to have without spending a fortune buying a complete fireplace set. I still will not stop to find a log that will use a gel fuel instead of tea lights. I want something that sizzles when lighted just like this log. Hope Overstock.com can find that item. Florida MamaRead More
I gave this as a gift and when I went to visit my family , my mother was very happy with the product and after seeing it so was I. It looked great in the fireplace and even when not light, the decorative red embers catch light and glow so it is pretty even unlit. I would recommend the product highly. My husband thought it looked great too and he is very fussy. So don't be afraid to buy .Read More

Step1. Review Learning Objectives A Learning Objective is a clear, concise and specific statement of observable student behaviors that can be evaluated at the conclusion of the learning activities. A + B + C + D = Learning Objective Audience = BUSM-1 Behavior = action verb + content Condition = from lecture notes and syllabus material Degree = 100 % correctly
Learning Objective Example What should I test?
The learning objective targets the content to test
How do I test it?
From the Lecture and Syllabus notes on the Gene and Genome Organization Unit, the BUSM-1 students will correctly be able to: • Describe the processes of mitosis and meiosis • Identify the roles of different parts of genes • Explain Mendelian Laws of segregation and of independent ! assortment • Recall the epigenetic relationship between chromatin structure ! and gene expression
Tip #1: If your learning objectives are NOT clear and concise, then STOP and rewrite the learning objectives now before proceeding to write multiple-choice questions. Taking the time now to have focused learning objectives will ease the writing of your MCQ items later.
For further assistance see the tutorial on writing learning objectives.
Tutorial Task 1 In a new window or on a piece of paper, write a learning objective by defining the:
• • • •
Audience Action verb* + content Condition Degree
*If you are using verbs such as "understand, be familiar with, or appreciate", then these are NOT considered action verbs upon which to base assessment items and must be revised.
Step 2. Consider Learner Characteristics Students encode, store and retrieve information by: –
Learning style • • • •
Convergence Divergence Assimilation Accommodation
MCQ Test
Learning experience • •
Interpreting the content through their previous academic, cultural and social knowledge Motivating their preferred interests to attend to the content
Students retrieve information to answer MCQs using their learner characteristics
Abstract orientation
How Do Learning Styles Alter MCQ Test Results? Convergers (think & do) and Assimilators (think & watch) score better because the MCQ test requires a single best answer. * USMLE Step 1 and MCQ Results
*Lynch, TG et al (July, 1998). Learning style influences student examination performance. American Journal of Surgery, 176 (1), 62-6.
Tip #2: How do you accommodate for different learning styles in a MCQ exam? By providing a variety of types of MCQ items, the exam will not be repetitive with just recall items and will appeal to a multiple of learning styles. Alternative types of MCQs using verbal and nonverbal channels will motivate your students to respond and challenge them to use different intelligences to answer questions.
For further assistance refer to learning styles discussed as VAK, Kolb's Learning Style Inventory, and/or Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. 13
Step 3. Determine A Cognitive Level* Higher-level learning
6. Evaluation 5. Synthesis 4. Analysis 3. Application 2. Comprehension 1. Knowledge
To assess concepts To organize concepts
To apply principles and predict outcomes To relate two or more concepts To classify information To itemize information
* Bloom, B. (1984). The taxonomy of educational objectives:-- Cognitive Domain. NY: Longman.
Basic recall learning
Testing Item Content Levels 1. Recall – testing knowledge of isolated facts 2. Interpret* – asking to review and reach some conclusion 3. Problem solve* – asking to take some action after reading a situation *Higher order thinking skills.
Writing for Different Cognitive Levels • Recall – Which of the following is the process of mitosis?
• Interpret – Which of the following can be classified as a meiosis error?
• Problem-solving – A maternal blood sample revealed decreased levels of AFP and estriol and elevated hCG. What would be the next logical test to perform?
Tutorial Task 2 Select one of your learning objectives and write 3 different questions to: 2. Test factual learning -- knowledge 3. Test conceptual learning -- application 4. Test problem solving -- evaluation
Tip #3: It is a good idea to sequence the cognitive level in a group of MCQ items by beginning with a recall item to jog the student's memory on a topic. After the initial recall item, the cognitive level can build in subsequent items until reaching the desired cognitive level for the learning objective.
6. Evaluation (test) 5. Synthesis (categorize) 4. Analysis (discriminate) 3. Application (classify) 2. Comprehension (explain) 1. Knowledge (recall)
Step 4. Write for Basic Sciences & Clinical Content NBME recommends:
Basic Sciences Items
Clinical Items
• Test application of knowledge • Use experimental and clinical vignettes • Target essential key concepts and principles • Select content relevant to clinical clerkships & post graduate education
•! Test application of knowledge •! Use clinical vignettes to decide on patient care •! Target common problems & decision-making tasks •! Avoid clinical situations reserved for subspecialists
Module 2. Construction: Write the MCQ items Use the NBME Recommended MCQ Format Step 1. Select the MCQ Format Step 2. Write the MCQ stem Step 3. Draft the Lead-in Step 4. Compose the Options Step 5. Edit to avoid MCQ flaws
The NBME MCQ Format (A-Type) A Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) has the following components: Stem – the information for the question Lead-in – the question and how to answer Answer options: 1. Key – the correct answer 2. Distracters -- the incorrect answers (4)*
*4-5 options reduces the chance of guessing the item is correct
Item Shape Long Stem: A MCQ item stem should contain all the relevant facts and be relatively long with short options. Lead-in: Asks the question A. Short Option B. Short Option C. Short Option D. Short Option E. Short Option
NBME MCQ Format R-Type The extended matching has these components: Theme List of options (with multiple keys) Lead-in At least 2 item stems
Case Clusters Another format for the clinical vignette is case clusters. The components are: One patient presentation as a stem A Lead - in • Key • Distracters Another Lead - in • Key • Distracters Key with 4 distracters
Tip #4: Be careful in using case clusters that you do not give away answers to other cluster questions (known as "cueing.") Also, avoid "hinging" where the student uses one stem to select the best answer in a first item and based on that answer selects the best answer in a second item.
Clinical Vignettes MCQs Basic Sciences MCQ Stem At a banquet, the menu included
Clinical Vignette MCQ Stem A previously healthy 15-year-old boy
has cramping periumbilical pain; after several hours, the pain shifts to the right lower quadrant and becomes constant. He vomits several times and is brought to the emergency department. The abdomen is tender on deep palpation of the right lower quadrant. Findings on the chest and abdominal x-ray films are normal. Leukocyte count is 15,000/mm3. Urinalysis shows 3 leukocytes/hpf.
fried chicken, home-fried potatoes, peas, chocolate eclairs, and coffee. Within 2 hours, most of the diners became violently ill, with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
Lead-in Analysis of the contaminated food is most likely to yield large numbers of which of the following organisms?
Options A. B. C. D. E.
Escherichia coli Proteus mirabilis Salmonella typhimurium Staphylococcus aureus* Streptococcus faecalis
Lead-in Which of the following is the most appropriate initial management?
Options A. B. C. D. E.
Supportive treatment at home Barium enema CT scan of the abdomen Intraveneous pyelography and cystrography Surgical exploration of the abdomen*
The 10 Golden Rules for Writing MCQ Test Items 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Examine only the important facts Use simple language Make questions brief and clear Form the questions correctly Take into consideration the independence of questions
6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Offer uniform answers Do not use negative questions Avoid using absolutes ("always, never, all, none�) Differentiate distracters significantly from the key Provide at least four distracters
Step 2. Write the Stem The Stem gives the essential information. • • • •
Provide only relevant information Use clear and concise language Give bare details and do not summarize Avoid using negatives (e.g., not, never, only)
Possible Stems • • • • •
Premise-consequence - give a circumstance Analogy -- give two contexts to relate Case Study -- give a lab or patient vignette Incomplete scenario -- describe a series of events Problem/Solution Evaluation -- present a problem and proposed solution
Tutorial task #3 Write Your MCQ Stem From your selected learning objective: • Give the bare facts • Stimulate higher-order thinking (e.g., synthesis) • Write your MCQ stem clearly
Step 3. Draft a Lead-in • • • • •
Write a question for the one-best-answer Do NOT use incomplete statements or opinions Be specific Confirm answer to lead-in can be found from stem Avoid frequency terms (usually, often)
Sample Lead-ins • Which of the following is – – – –
abnormal? most likely? the most likely cause? Defective/ deficient/ nonfunctioning?
• Which of the following should be administered? • Given the pedigree, what is the likelihood that the next child (specify gender) will have the disease?
Tutorial Task #4 Write the Lead-in Read over the bare facts in your stem and write a lead-in that asks the question and describes how to select the best option.
Tip #5: To test if the lead-in actually asks what you want to question, give the stem and the lead-in to a colleaque without the options and see if the colleague answers are similar to your options.
Step 4. Compose the Options • • • • •
Write the key (the one best answer) first Provide only plausible & significantly different distracters Use common student errors Avoid obvious wrong options Keep option length the same
What's a "Good" Distracter? A good distracter is a plausible answer: • CM = common student mistakes, a recurrent misconception about topic • TG = too general option, that is too broad to answer the question • TS = too specific option, option focuses on one detail in stem • OT = off topic, option misses the answer completely
Avoid "Bad" Distracters" • • • • •
Same information is repeated in all the options Negative options (not, never, none, only) Same information in stem is repeated in one option Unparallel structure in options Tedious text copied incorrectly from text that seems familiar, but is wrong • "All or none" of the above
Tutorial Task #5 Write the Options There must be one "right" or "best" answer and at least four distracters. Write the best answer first and then four plausible distracters.
Step 5. Edit for MCQ Flaws Testwiseness Student answers based on test-taking skills • • • • • •
Grammatical cues Logical cues Absolute terms Long correct answer Repeating word Convergence strategy
Avoiding MCQs Flaws Irrelevant Difficulty Student has difficulty answering due to • • • • • • •
Long, tricky and complicated stems Inconsistent data Unparallel language in options Illogical order of options "None of the Above" option Answer hinged to another item Imprecise terms
Tutorial Task #6 Find the Flaws Review some of your MCQs from previous exams and see if you can find these flaws: • Testwiseness • Irrelevant Difficulty
Module 3. Evaluate MCQ Items Item Analysis Step 1. Estimate MCQ Item Difficulty Step 2. Determine Item Discrimination Index Step 3. Strive for Validity and Reliability Step 4. Interpret LXR Report Step 5. Provide feedback to test developer
Evaluate Your MCQs What is a "bad" MCQ? If students do not answer the question correctly because it is: • too difficult or • too easy or • unclear, then the question is not good and should be edited or deleted from the test
Step 1. Estimate MCQ Item Difficulty MCQ item difficulty can be calculated using this formula: P = # of correct answers/ each question Acceptable difficulty level is 0.3 - 0.7
Easiness = total # correct answers # of students who took test Difficulty = 1 - easiness
Too easy >0.7
Too difficult <0.3
Step 3. Item Discrimination Value Index After the test, you can calculate the difference in performance between the top and bottom performers on each item with this formula: Discrimination Value Index = 2(B-L)x B is the Better group or top 27% L is the Lower group or lower 27% X is the # of students
Item Discrimination Value Index The bigger the discrimination # the better Excellent: > 0.35 Good: 0.35 - 0.25 Acceptable: 0.25 - 0.15 Deleted: < 0.1
Step 3. Strive for Validity & Reliability • Validity = Exam assesses what it is designed to measure • Reliability = Exam repeatedly yields the same or similar results Estimate reliability using test-retest, alternative forms, and/or split the test group in half
Step 4. Interpret the LXR Report Scanning the answer sheets with a software called LXR Test 6.0 (used by the Educational Media Center) will provide: •Item Statistics Report -- gives item difficulty, item discrimination value index and validity •Test Statistics Report -- charts students and scores + median, mean, standard deviation, test reliability and standard error of measurement •Individual Scores Report -- identifies an individual student's response by item
Step 5. Provide Feedback to Test Developer Communicating with Test Developers: • • • •
Be positive, constructive and confident Use test language Show good and bad MCQ examples from NBME Manual Use item analysis from LXR report
Module 4. Feedback to Students l
Why and how you tested certain content • • • •
Step 1. Communicate and collaborate Step 2. Recognize student complaints Step 3. Prepare feedback strategies Step 4. Redirect feedback actions
Step 1. Communicate and Collaborate • Be an active listener • Be respectful & understanding • Foster collaboration • Use LXR data • Provide a solution
Step 2. Recognize Student Complaints • Information gap • Retention gap • Misinterpretation of information • Synthesis gap • Vocabulary gap • Inability to decipher • Jumping to conclusions • Rushed • Miskeying…
Step 3. Prepare Feedback Strategies • Provide an answer feedback sheet where each question is answered correctly and your supporting information. • This reinforces those who got it right and redirects those who got it wrong. • If you want to recycle MCQs and do not want to release answers, then prepare this sheet for your reference when talking with students • Offer MCQ test-taking strategies • Feedback should be appropriate, helpful and encouraging
Step 4. Redirect Feedback Actions • Direct to another resource • Admit any mistakes • Find a solution
Tips for Writing MCQs 1. Do not write test items in one day 2. Write test items as you write the learning objectives 3. Prepare feedback (how and why) on each item as you write 4. Ask a colleague to answer an item 5. Collect good items in a question bank

How we innovate
We're always pushing to do things better. Here are some of the ways we're already building on our success and further improving customer experience:
We are Not Everywhere. We are not interested in planting flags or being in 100 countries. We focus on a select number of markets where we have scale and profitability or a distinct competitive advantage.
So we have strong businesses across selected markets in the UK, Europe, Asia and Canada, where we offer our customers a range of world-class products and services, including life insurance, general insurance, health insurance and asset management.
Across our 16 businesses, we continue to protect our 34 million customers and the things that are important to them, paying out £30.7bn in benefits and claims in 2015.
MyAviva brings together the products that help our customers in the UK protect their life, health, loved ones, future and possessions in one secure and simple-to-use online place. It's a whole new way for us to serve our customers when they want, how they want.
Aviva Drive App
We were the first insurance company to launch a smartphone app to record driving behaviours and tailor prices for our customers – saving them money. 'Aviva Drive' uses GPS to measure cornering, braking and acceleration. And, as a result, it can offer safer drivers up to 20% off their car insurance premium. Our customers like it and it's generated a positive return on investment inside 18 months.
Digital Garage
Our commitment to digital is reflected structurally and physically within our 'Digital Garages'. These are inspiring spaces where we put business people alongside IT people to spur their creativity and give them space to develop new propositions, working in an agile way. They have a start-up culture, encouraging technical innovation that is backed by investment in millions. Our first Garage is up and running in a warehouse in Shoreditch, London, and we've launched our second in Singapore.
Diversity and inclusion
We're a global organisation. We have employees and customers from different cultures, all around the world, so our diversity and inclusion programme is a top priority.
Knowing that people will accept you for who you are is essential when creating a successful working environment, so we've built our approach on the principles of respect and valuing differences. By championing this, we encourage all our employees to treat each other fairly. Our Women's Network is going from strength to strength as we continue to improve the gender balance across the Group by supporting and developing female leaders. And Aviva Pride is making real progress in helping individuals in being comfortable with their sexuality in the workplace – nearing 600 members, the network has been highly commended by Stonewall, who recognise us as the only insurer in a ranking of the UK's most LGBT friendly workplaces.
Our efforts in diversity and inclusion were recognised at the World Diversity Leadership Summit, hosted by the United Nations Global Compact, who honoured us with the Global Innovation award.
Corporate responsibility and partnerships
We're committed to acting sustainably and responsibly every day. It supports the delivery of our strategy, aligns with our values, and we believe it's Good Thinking. From reducing our environmental impact to supporting the UN's Global Goals for sustainable development, we're creating a legacy we can be proud of.
In 2015, over 585,000 people benefited from our corporate responsibility programmes, which you can learn more about here.
In the UK, we work closely with upReach in supporting hundreds of students from less-privileged backgrounds fulfil their potential. This is done through shared knowledge, soft skills, networks and work experience. Watch the video here to learn more about our partnership.
The British Red Cross
Our strategic partnership with The British Red Cross demonstrates our commitment to disaster response, both in the UK and abroad. We believe that we share the same values of freeing people from uncertainty and showing greater care. Ultimately, both Aviva and The British Red Cross are in the business of helping people get back on their feet. Watch the video here to learn more about this partnership.
