This seems very consistent from patient to patient. Also, the affective component seems pretty consistent part of the disorder as well.
Just an observation.

Dilaudid? We have one (and only one) cyclic vomiteur, and until recently my ED didn't stock Dilaudid. He consistently gets better with Ativan and Thorazine. Guess he doesn't know about Dilaudid.ReplyDelete
Ours get better with demerol -"it's the only thing that works". But then, I'm in Ontario, and dilaudid isn't quite as popular here. In San Diego, where i used to work, it was ativan all the way.ReplyDelete
There is a FF in my ER that has "cyclical vomiting" in his chart who is also, conveniently, addicted to narcotics. It seems whenever he's out of narcs that he has an "attack" of "cyclic vomiting". Very melodramatic floor-throwing personality too.
Dood, it's called withdrawal. Duhr.
And they never loose weight....ReplyDelete
Heard an interesting (unproven) theory:
Cyclic vomiting is frequently found in heavy marijuana users, typically upon reduction of consumption.
Could it be a withdrawal symptom?
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
That is called cyclical narcotic withdrawal.ReplyDelete
My 8 year old son has cyclical vomiting syndrome. He has never been to the ER for it, but I'm hoping if he did someone would take him seriously. It is a horrible thing to watch when he is vomiting so violently. Not something I would ever wish on anyone. I'm not saying people don't abuse the diagnosis to get "good drugs", but it is a real thing for my son.ReplyDelete
The entry in wikipedia was interesting. What they describe there sounds a hell of a lot more like what I had when I was pregnant than the normal descriptors of "morning sickness." It was a truly miserable time. I lost about fifty pounds in five months, because almost everything I ate came back up about ten minutes later. Sometimes very cold water taken first would let me eat a little and hold it down.
Apparently my body decided about six months in that it wanted to switch to migraines. So then I had frequent migraines the rest of that pregnancy.
It's little things like this that made me get a tubal ligation (grin).
some of you movin' meat bloggers should be ashamed of yourself. and you say you are supposed to be in the medical profession. cyclic vominitg sydrome is REAL. Do your homework. Yes, sufferers are medically treated with dilaudid and they appear drug seeking in the ER. Well they are-the every 20minutes of retching bile they have gone through wehn they get to your ER is a 20 on a 1-10 pain scale and they want their pain medication. I know I've watched my adult daughter go throuth this for 8 years. The next time you want o joke about the CVS patient who needs dilaudid think twice before you spew.ReplyDelete
Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome is a very real and debilitating disease that not only affects the patient but the caregiver as well!!! My husband has found one thing that stops it in it's tracks and puts him to sleep! Stadol nose spray.ReplyDelete
My husband was released from the ED 2wks ago with a diagnosis of narcotic with drawl. I immediately began searching the internet yet again for the cause of this hellish nightmare my husband has suffered through for many years.I enlisted the help of a mutual friend I was so desperate. I found CVS and it matched his symptoms to a T. His symptoms start in the AM and his body temp drops while he begins to sweat profusely and becomes mentally altered from pain all the while crying.
He had a full RX of painkillers that he takes only when the pain of two back surgeries is bad. He's had the vomiting/pain issues even before the back problems. This is the only ED he's been to in 13 years. They have all of his records. They treated him like dirt. No one helped.
I think we have an answer now and we'll investigate further, but because of this last Ed visit I'll be all over anyone's ass the next time my husband's pain isn't taken seriously. The ED staff just created a monster. So if you see a 6'5" long haired Irish boy stumble into your Ed with tears streaming down his face and doubled over in pain and shaking so violently he falls and has to drag himself around we would appreciate it a great deal if you could hit him with some pain meds and an IV bag. But not promethazine because after the last three visits he's ended up with big ulcers on his penis which we found out was a fixed drug reaction. Woulda been nice if the doctors had of been able to figure that one out too instead of me having to google that one as well.
I have had CVS since 5 years old. IT IS A REAL THING!! you should be ashamed to think otherwise! I live in a daily hell because of this! The only thing that has stopped my attacks are dalaudid as well. But I don't take it on a regular basis! I have episodes alot but only a few require me to go get medical attention bc I am dehydrated and those are the only times I use dilaudid so I am NOT a drug seeker!ReplyDelete

A Sense of Humor During WWII
My husband's grandfather is 2nd to the left in front kneeling ~ Forrest Pointer ~ In Iceland during WW2 at Camp Kwitchwebelliakin, a.k.a., Camp 'They-Got-A-Sense-of-Humor' . [Snort.]
A newspaper clipping from the Pointer Family Archives.

Great picture!You know they had more than a few things they could complain about being stationed in Iceland. But, instead, decided to be humorous and positive. A good lesson for all of us. Thanks for sharing this one.ReplyDelete
Too funny. This is priceless! Great photo. :)ReplyDelete
My Nana had a sign that read Kwitchbelliakin in her kitchen. Next to the wooden switch and the big wooden spoon! No one ever spoke fresh to Nana!ReplyDelete

The Spanish Canary Islands hosts some of the world's most beautiful beaches and important natural attractions. The archipelago also has a long history as the main stopover for Spanish galleons on their way to America, so it's no wonder that this dynamic landscape has attracted a number of hardy adventure seekers looking to take up residence. We immediately fell in love with these no-frill rock homes showcased over at Dwell, which were built by hand directly into the coastal cliffs and caves of the Canaries. Far from your typical high-tech, green homes, these houses utilize traditional design methods that place DIY sustainability at their core. Take a peek into one of these spectacular structures, as photographer Gunnar Knechtel takes us on a tour of a home on the island of Tenerife.
We've reported on homes built into cliffs and caves before, but it's not often that we see such a simple take that forgoes the use of heavy-duty machinery for traditional hand-building techniques. While most of coastal Spain is dotted with modern condos and brick and mortar construction, these humble cottages use craggy promontories and volcanic caves for their structural base. Despite their austere nature they still offer spectacular views over the sparkling ocean, which is literally just a few feet away.
The home featured here, photographed by Knechtel, is a wood construction that is used as a retreat by its owners during the hot summer months. The area is primarily made up of solid rock, but this material helps regulate the home's interior temperature – particularly in the summer when it keeps things cool for residents. The full integration of the natural landscape also makes for stunning, natural interior decor – in some instances walls are white washed to open the space, and in others the rock is left untreated.
Special touches, such as DIY surfboard benches and paintings, and conveniences such as a television and microwave make the city-to-seaside life transition seamless. While there isn't much sand to be found in the area, it's a perfect place for sunbathing, strolling, hiking and community gatherings on the cliffs.

Noted producer Norman Felton died Monday, July 2nd, at the age of 99 in Woodland Hills, CA. Best known for producing the hit series Dr. Kildare and The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Felton began his television career in Chicago — during the medium's first commercial years and worked on such groundbreaking series as Garroway at Large, and These are My Children. He then went to Hollywood where he worked on Robert Montgomery Presents, Playhouse 90, and Studio One and others, before starting his own Arena Productions company. He was interviewed for 4-1/2 hours by Lee Goldberg for the Archive of American Television in 1997. Here are some excerpts from the interview:
On being executive producer of the landmark dramatic anthology series Playhouse 90 in 1959, when the sponsor censored the word "gas" in "Judgement at Nuremberg"
The producer was Martin Manulis, Herb Brodkin, a couple of others. The network [CBS] did want me to have somebody overall in charge, and so I'd make comments to the producer and I would follow through with it. On the "Judgement at Nuremberg" teleplay, the gas company was a principle sponsor and they said they said they would pull out if we used the word "gas" on the show. Because how you told the story of Judgment at Nuremberg and Holocaust without using the word seems– Herb Brodkin, who was the producer — ridiculous, and I felt the same way. The network tried to get me to do something about it. I said, "there's nothing that can be done about it." They said, when they got close to air time, "we can't give up the gas company. We promised them that we will take out the word." It was all live. Herb Brodkin believed that we were going to do it, and I said, "Herb, I've got to tell you that that's what they're going to do and I can't do anything about it. If it's going through where we are, I might be able to get to the guys who are supposed to bleep that word out, but they tricked me, II don't know if I could have done anything and they're sending an engineer over here with someone and if the word is used we'll bleep it." And that's what happened. And he was furious. I said, "I warned you that that was going to happen." There was nothing that I could possibly do. It was the worse thing for the gas company. It got the worse publicity it could possibly have when it came out that the word was bleeped out…. We didn't have people telling us what to do until the advertisers came along.
On the creation of television's Dr. Kildare
I wanted to do a medical show. I hadn't been able to do it because at CBS they said, as the other networks did, who wants to go to a hospital? That's the last place – a person comes home from their job and they're going to turn on television and see sick people? But in radio, I did plenty of them. I did a series of a medical nature, and I did in Chicago, while I was in radio for the AMA. I didn't latch onto any property. [Another company had done a failed pilot featuring Dr. Kildare.] The reason it was called Dr. Kildare was after-the-fact they turned me down. They didn't want to do another one. They didn't want to do anything medical. I said, "well, I want to do one, and I did. It was a very successful pilot. E. Jack Neuman was a fine writer. I said I want to do a medical show, and we had two or three discussions and one, he said, "I got a good idea, this is the story. I know it has to be set in a hospital. There are two gangsters who had a fight between them, and but one is on one floor and another is another floor of the hospital and they still are enemies." I said, "Jack, before we do anything, why don't you take a week off, go to a hospital, go around there. That's what I want you to do for the next week. I don't want to see you around here. Don't come on the lot. Go to a hospital." So he did. And when he came back, I never heard about those gangsters again. He said, "it's terrific! I followed an intern and what they go through, and how they operate is just terrific with patients, and themselves and– so I said go ahead, and write it. It was a half hour script. Because that's what my contract at that time, was, we expected a half hour. I went over to NBC with it and they liked it to much they said, "we'll make you a deal." When the word got out that I sold this, then I think somebody in the board in New York said," is it going to be Dr. Kildare?" Bob [Whiteman] said, "no, it's not like those old movies at all. It's the story of an intern." And they said, "can't he be called Dr. Kildare?" He pointed out, as did the network, that it was a valuable title to get started with, the people would opt to tune it in. So, that's how it got its name, is after-the-fact.
Video: On the genesis of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
On the appeal of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
In the sixties, there were a lot of just unrest in the family. It was an escape. It was good against evil. And also, the thing that they liked was it was different nationalities. At I cast two men in the leads who were short and not big husky men because, on business on Dr. Kildare, I was in London for a meeting, and when I was leaving, a lady, who was a comptroller, came to me and said, "why is it in America that you always have leading men who are big tall, sexy– so called– looking fellow, and why are they always American?" I said, "I don't know. I guess because that's what people seem to like when they see them." But the more I thought about it, as time went on, when it came to do the Man From U.N.C.L.E, I'm not going to do it. And that's what made me like David McCallum and Robert Vaughn. They were slim and they were not big, as they used to say, ballsy men. That's the expression that was used. So it worked. I think today, some of the kids say that's something that they really can identify more with, because they're younger than most of the heroes were in the western shows.

2011-08-11 Black & White Ancestry ~ Probs
Start: 12:06:44
alt: what's up Seventies Soulchild?
Seventies Soulchild: hi alt! nothing just taking a quick phone call from a contact.
alt: okay
Seventies Soulchild: how are you and your wife?
alt: we're both doing fine thanks, and you?
Seventies Soulchild: Doing well.
alt: good
Seventies Soulchild: I was reading an article about B'ham from the Alabama Pioneers blog today. Lots of favorable memories from the author.
alt: okay, your memories or the author's?
Seventies Soulchild: The authors.
alt: okay
Seventies Soulchild: I'm debating on perhaps covering this issue in a blog entry. Clearly the author comes from a different part of Birmingham.
alt: is this an AA author?
Seventies Soulchild: No
alt: then there were probably be a different 'set' of memories for the author and any AA LOL
Seventies Soulchild: I joined the mailing list for the blog to see if I could find information about slave owners and general history of the state. they have no AA information as far as I have seen. Clearly! lol Birmingham was still 'racial' even in the early 1980's when we used to visit during the summers.
alt: I have that experience all of the time when I reflect on my youth with white HS classmates, seems as if there were two different, parallel worlds. and we were in the same small town at the same time.
Seventies Soulchild: I remember one year, 1977 or 1978, we drove down south for an informal family reunion and we carried one of those bed pans so we wouldn't have to stop at a gas station to use the toilets. Isn't that something alt. I'm in my 30's I find I have the same experiences.
alt: and some of them have the 'nerve' to say "oh, we didn't 'know" when I relate some of the racial aspects of growing up in Piqua, OH.
Seventies Soulchild: Yes that age group seems to be in absolute denial about the pre-racial ... lol ... America or should I say 'racial' America? lol
alt: reading on the Forums about NY & MD and their problems with getting the test kits from 23andme.
Seventies Soulchild: I read that too. I think its because of the nature of their testing. lost my connection for a moment there...
alt: yes, NY & MD have some laws against the medical components of what 23and me is doing with their DNA testing.
Seventies Soulchild: I didn't have an issue with this in regards to my African Ancestry testing. all went smoothly.
alt: seems an MD's request is required to have the test done.
Seventies Soulchild: hello Selma
Selma: Good Thursday afternoon folks Hi 3rd
alt: Hello 3rdthawkins , how are ya?
3rdthawkins: ok alt listening to some music, playing with the equalizer, having fun
Selma: There is a state park here in Western Va..celebrating an anniversary..there was a wonderful article about the park in their local newspaper
Seventies Soulchild: Legacy.com is doing a webinar about Google + calling it the future.
3rdthawkins: where is that Selma?
Selma: A friend of mine grew up in that area of the park..wrote a wonderful article..about how the black folks who lived in the area could not go to the park.
Seventies Soulchild: do you have a link to the story Selma. Sounds like a good read.
Selma: When they had the big celebration the National Park Service invited her and the other folks as special guests
3rdthawkins: have to check that out 70s, not sure if i'm ready to add anything else, but i'll look into it, see what it's about
Selma: Yes, some where..think the Park is called Hungary Mother Park
3rdthawkins: hmm, interesting
Selma: If you are going to tell the history of a place give the whole history...
Seventies Soulchild: Yes, alt and I were sort of discussing that in regards to B'Ham I received a link to the Alabama Pioneers blog website about the authors fond memories of Birmingham and I was a bit perturbed about it. Especially when the nickname was "bomingham".
alt: History and the lack of AA's in it .... reminds of the saying "when the Lion writes the history..........." doing fine AYWalton & you?
AYWalton: doing ok, now that the weather is much cooler. Nice and dry and sunny.
alt: yeah, I'm enjoying the cooler weather we're having here in Ohio
AYWalton: Glad that heat dome is gone.
3rdthawkins: alt, did you get to watch the NFL hall of fame ceremony? some good speeches for Sharpe and Sanders
alt: Deborah is coming by for a visit this afternoon, she is in Yellow Springs, OH doing some research at Antioch Univ. Deborah Abbott
Selma: I posted the article to Afrigeneas Forum on April 5, 2011..title Smythe county va article access to state park Can we get to Afrigeneas Forum emails in the search site
AYWalton: tell her hello!
alt: okay, will do
Seventies Soulchild: Speaking on the Forums, I received a query about a Galmore family I know nothing about. I'm going to post the e-mail on the family surnames board to see what shakes up.
alt: good idea Seventies Soulchild
Seventies Soulchild: I think I have too many e-mail accounts... lol
alt: I missed the NFL Hall of Fame ceremonies 3rdthawkins
Seventies Soulchild: this one came in on my Thompson Galmore family e-mail account
3rdthawkins: mean while, Facebook is proving fruitful with the family group page, I think a couple of my uncles will be glad to know they share the same names as other's in the family

3rdthawkins: oops, I don't think I can PASTE it

3rdthawkins: yeah, you're right alt
Seventies Soulchild: I'm disappointed that they removed the newspapers though.
Ingrid_Doweary: I got it, 3rd, got gmail.

bearnut2: Seventies Soulchild --Its nice to hear some folks have had luck with google books--I haven't
Seventies Soulchild: sorry bearnut2.
bearnut2: wont keep me from searching though! lol
Ingrid_Doweary: Is that Washington At Home, 3rd?
Seventies Soulchild: Now, what I want to get access is to some of these old Nat'l Geographics.
Ingrid_Doweary: What difficulties are you having with Google Books, Seventies?
alt: how are you setting up your search parameters for Google searches bearnut2? Are you using ("'s) & (+'s)?

3rdthawkins: bearnut2, the * is for filling in the blanks, if you do't know a middle name for a person, you can put "John * Doe" OR "Doe, John *" including quotations, you can use that for any searches when you don't know the full title I don't know if it works for google books though
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins ah, ok. I've only used it as a stand in for letters in a name like sm*th when you want to capture i's and y's and any other letter
alt: I saw her do it at a conference bearnut2.. I'll check my 'stuff' and see what I have from her presentation from the OGS syllabus and send it to you if you like.
3rdthawkins: mainly for words bearnut2, don't think it will do letters
bearnut2: OH !I thought you were saying you use it for google books.
3rdthawkins: words/names
Seventies Soulchild: ok I've got to go. Have a good afternoon everyone
3rdthawkins: you can try it bearnut
bearnut2: alt --yes I'd love that thanks!
alt: I can get your email from the Forums, right bearnut2?
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins I've used the * on ancestry for letters in names alt yes or I'll give it to you email@example.com
3rdthawkins: not same as ancestry bearnut, totally different venue
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins --Ok I'm officially lost lol so where are you telling me that you use *'s?
alt: gotcha bearnut2, it will come from email@example.com so don't throw me into the junk pile LOL
3rdthawkins: Google Search bearnut
bearnut2: never alt never! lol
alt: okay
Ingrid_Doweary: Interesting bio on Shamele Jordan, Alt.
alt: she's good, very good Ingrid_Doweary
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins ok! gotcha lol now I'm "found!" lol
Ingrid_Doweary: Glad to hear it. Glad to hear it, Alt and bearnut2 .
bearnut2: lol
alt: Shamele is a genie-pro in every sense of the word research & tech-wise. plus she is just plain "good people"
bearnut2: I wonder if she will be at the conference in Indiana in Oct
Ingrid_Doweary: I want to be like her when I grow up, Alt. :}
alt: yep, she'll be in Ft. Wayne bearnut2
bearnut2: Yay! I can hardly wait!
Ingrid_Doweary: Selma, what recent adventures have you encountered recently?
alt: I can tell bearnut2 LOL
Selma: No adventures Ingrid
Ingrid_Doweary: Anything?
alt: Ingrid_Doweary, are you going to the FGS in Springfield, IL.. that's near your home turf, right?
Ingrid_Doweary: It's near my hometown. I'm not sure if I'm going yet.
bearnut2: where are you Ingrid_Doweary ?
Ingrid_Doweary: I'm in Washington, DC.
bearnut2: Oh--your childhood hometown, not now
Ingrid_Doweary: You got it, bearnut2. :}
bearnut2: I was hoping it was now--I'm in st. louis.
alt: I won't be in Illinois either, got Columbus, OH & Indianapolis to do in Sept/Oct as well as Ft. Wayne.
Ingrid_Doweary: My family and I took a trip to Ocean City, MD this past Sunday. I always enjoy traveling through Eaton and Tuckahoe-birthplaces of Frederick Douglas and Harriet Tubman.
alt: bearnut2, are you in the St. Louis group with Charles Brown?
bearnut2: I had planned on IL since its so close but my Genealogy society is going to Ft Wayne so I'm going with them.
3rdthawkins: forget them, I like traveling through my own Ancestors' birthplaces
bearnut2: alt--yes
Ingrid_Doweary: ahhh, 3rd.
3rdthawkins: as the white lady said on Color Purple, I don't know him, and I don't know her either
alt: ah so bearnut2, Charles Brown seems like such an 'energetic' person.. talked with him a couple of times on the phone.
Ingrid_Doweary: There is a highway named after Harriet Tubman. I've got to nail down it's location.
3rdthawkins: google maps Ingrid google search also
Ingrid_Doweary: Hey 3rd, are you referring to Tubman and Douglass
3rdthawkins: lol yep
bearnut2: that he is alt! Very nice guy. I just joined a few months ago but its great getting together with other black genealogists
3rdthawkins: it was a joke Ingrid
Ingrid_Doweary: I know 3rd, but I actually rode on the bridge. I did get the joke, 3rd.
3rdthawkins: ok hehe
Ingrid_Doweary: Haha lol lol
bearnut2: ...getting together in person that is
3rdthawkins: but I bet it is something to be able to traveling through those towns/cities, I bet it is exciting historically speaking, it is a great feeling
alt: I hope you're joking 3rdthawkins , cause you often sound so anti-black & pro-white I often have difficulty understanding it as a 'joke'
Ingrid_Doweary: Indeed, I enjoy noting the additional historic markers. All in fun, Alt, all in fun LOL LOL
3rdthawkins: I like to ruffle some feathers, hehe
Ingrid_Doweary: I see.
3rdthawkins: ok, I go overboard
alt: I reckon Ingrid_Doweary ... and you can frequently consider my 'feathers ruffled" 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: but you all sound sooooo pro, black and Anti-any other race, it's crazy, gotta bring it down in here sometimes
Ingrid_Doweary: It is what it is, Alt.
3rdthawkins: or try to
Ingrid_Doweary: But 3rd, sounding pro-black doesn't necessarily mean anti-anything else all of the time.
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins granted, I havent been here much but I've never seen anyone be "Anti-any other race" here...(???)
3rdthawkins: I have ancestors that are white, and I prefer to accept them and appreciate them as much as my black ancestors
Ingrid_Doweary: I concur bearnut2.
3rdthawkins: it's like, get together and talk about how bad we got it and how awful whites are treating us
Selma: 3rd..probably 80% of black folk in America got white ancestors..
Ingrid_Doweary: As do I, 3rd.
alt: and I have white ancestors too 3rdthawkins ... and descendant's w/ children & grandchildren having white 'mates'.
3rdthawkins: yeah, I forget that
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins I think we ALL have white ancestors and as soon as I can figure out WHO they are, I'll accept an appreciate them lol
Selma: I am sure you might get more help in an Irish chat..
3rdthawkins: mine are just closer to some, is what I am saying
Ingrid_Doweary: I see some folks love to get a rise out of others.
3rdthawkins: closer than some, generationally speaking Ingrid, I just hate the We Are Victims talk all the time
alt: how close can you get than having inter-racial grandchildren & grandparents 3rdthawkins and a son-in-law
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins I can understand that...but no one here wants you to deny your ancestors.
3rdthawkins: I see what you are saying alt, you're the man, no need to go anywhere with you, I can't hate on you
Ingrid_Doweary: Now Selma, what information would be forthcoming in the Irish chat?
Selma: I have no idea Ingrid..but that is one of the groups 3rd claims kinship to
3rdthawkins: sometimes I feel like I should dislike my white family members alt, and you don't have that support here in chat, at least doesn't sound like it
alt: no lecture from here 3rdthawkins, it's as all are saying, we ALL probably have some Euro in us.
Ingrid_Doweary: I see. I'm afraid I'm going to have to claim some kinship with the Irish given my maiden and married surnames are Irish based.
bearnut2: I am one of the most anti-prejudiced folks around--I have friends and family of all races BUT sometimes you just have to call it like it is. Racism in the US is very real. And sometimes in the "age of President Obama" folks tend to forget that.
3rdthawkins: I should say sometimes I feel like I should dislike my white ancestors when I am here in chat, there's no support here to accept them, it's always, look at what the white folks did and are still doing to us
Ingrid_Doweary: Hear hear, bearnut2 ? ?=!
Selma: 3rd from your postings it appears that those white ancestors of yours have denied their black connections, or you wouldn't be having such a hard time identifying them
3rdthawkins: not sure what you are talking about Selma...mainly it's the blacks that deny their black connections and marry white black ancestors that deny black connections
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins--have you done a dna test yet?
3rdthawkins: no, don't plan on it
bearnut2: Why?
3rdthawkins: I don't bearnut
bearnut2: I only mention it because at 23andme there are folks on the boards--black/white/asian/and everything else who embrace ALL of their ancestry. It might be a place you'd like to hang out.
Ingrid_Doweary: All groups are guilty of denying someone.
bearnut2: Though actually I think you can hang out there without having done a test there...
alt: I'm not sure there was any denial of 'blackness' or any 'over zealous' recognition of white ancestry in my family background 3rdthawkins... iit seems as if it 'just happened' due to amny circumstances.
Ingrid_Doweary: I comprehend that, Alt.
3rdthawkins: yeah, mine doesn't go far back as you all's, so there was an overzealousness, especially since an uncle perfussly did not want his brother to marry a black woman, and told the woman she was not welcomed. My grandfather did not accept his brother's wife in his house, only his brother.... actually, it was my great grandfather that did not want his brother to marry black, and my grandfather that did not accept his brother's black wife
Selma: According to you wasn't your great grandfather black but wanted to be seen as white
bearnut2: 3rdthawkins wow! but you know some of "us" are like that...
alt: heck, I have folks in my family (black) who do not accept the black wives of some of their kinfolks. LOL
Ingrid_Doweary: I can appreciate how that would generate some family heartbreak. 3rd's family story, that is.
3rdthawkins: my grandfather Selma, yes, but there is new information about my great grandfather (my grandmother's father), that i suspected, he tried to pass for white also
bearnut2: I remember my very fair skinned grandmother pinching my nose so it wouldn't be wide
3rdthawkins: funny thing about my great grandfather, his brother's wife ended up raising his daughters after he and his wife had died
bearnut2: quite ironic 3rdthawkins
Selma: In essence the problem here is not with US..but with the culture in which they lived..we just research folks where and how we find them..but we or at least I will NOT sugar coat it
3rdthawkins: yeah, it's crazy, because neither my great grandfather nor my grandfather succeeded in their quest
Ingrid_Doweary: I comprehend what you say, Selma.
Selma: So what was their QUEST..
bearnut2: I agree Selma
3rdthawkins: My father and his brothers (all the boys) see themselves as African American, though the girls see themselves as either white or just non AA To identify as White Selma, and for their children to do the same, but it didn't totally work
Ingrid_Doweary: I guess their QUEST is what we are left to determine once we find them.
alt: I hear ya Selma... and I won't try to judge the actions taken by those in the 1800's or early 1900's... by a standard of the 21st century.
Ingrid_Doweary: That makes all the sense in the world, Alt.
3rdthawkins: My grandmother even identified as AA, see just went along with what my grandfather was doing
Selma: She went along..or the community in which she lived saw her as such and treated her in the context of what that meant.
Ingrid_Doweary: So 3rd, if I may ask. How does your father identify himself?
bearnut2: Whats funny 3rdthawkins is that it didn't really matter what they identified themselves as because the "world" was identifying them as AA. If their neighbors/friends knew the family was AA they would have had to move Far far away in order to change that.
3rdthawkins: No Selma, she went along with HIM
Selma: Agreed bearnut
alt: you know 3rdthawkins, how one wants to be seen and how one is actually seen by the rest of the world are two different views... often not compatible.
3rdthawkins: you should try and tell my grandfather that alt, lol as I was told, he actually thought the world was gonna accept him and his children as White, and they didn't
bearnut2: lol 3rdthawkins
alt: that's .... tragic ..... 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: it is alt, you said it, and I see it when I talk with my dad an uncle because grandpa was only a disciplinarian, and emphasized education, but there was no direction, no guidance, no telling them what they should do and how, they just had to do it, and he didn't want to hear anything about it, he wouldn't talk to them about it when they had questions he would later tell them, You're not White, You're not Black, You're In Between, Which Gave them Nothing. NO Identity when they was looking for it he left them searching, and as I see, my uncles are still searching for who they are who they want to be
bearnut2: interesting--but really 3rdthawkins, its not actually the black members of your family who didn't want to accept black folks, it was the mixed-white-self-identified members of your family who didn't want to accept their own african ancestry and therefore rejected other black folks.
3rdthawkins: it more affected the boys than the girls, the girls either marry foreigners or marry white, only one girl is not married, she is much like the boys I guess bearnut, kind of hard to say that
alt: I'm confused 3rdthawkins,, what genearation, how far back in this line were the folks actually 'white' and not just light-skinned blacks who attempted to pass as white?
3rdthawkins: well my grandfather born in 1924 basically tried to pass in 1940s, and my great grnadfather who was born abt 1903 and tried to pass in 1920s and 1930s in New York
bearnut2: yeah, I know. It goes counter to what you've believed to be true. But given the culture of the times they lived in, its not hard to see why it would have been "easier" to be white.
3rdthawkins: true bearnut2, it's not really, I understand
Selma: But it didn't work for either of them 3rd?
alt: so did your grandfather (1903) have a white parent?
3rdthawkins: nope Selma great grandfather alt in 1903, yeah, Jessie Lum Hawkins, she was basically white
alt: basically????
3rdthawkins: well, there's the Chinese stuff going on, she looked white to me
Selma: How is she described in the census? How is she identified in the community in which she lived?
3rdthawkins: Negro not even mulatto, just Black or Negro
Ingrid_Doweary: Which census year was this, 3rd. ?
3rdthawkins: all Ingrid, 1900-1930 during that time she was married to my grgr gf
alt: my father born in 1894 had a grandfather born in slavery with a white father, but my father and his father were light-skinned blacks who always slf-identified as blacks
bearnut2: and your gr gr gf was racially identified how?
3rdthawkins: who was, as my great grandmother Ella told my father and his siblings, Blacker than an Ace of Spades black bearnut, he was dark-skinned my grandfather was furious when she told his kids that
alt: that is my Y-DNA heritage... white.
bearnut2: so...now I'm a bit confused...3rdthawkins do you have any actual caucasian ancestors who were identified as such in the census?
3rdthawkins: nope bearnut2
Selma: So who are all these white folks...that you claim we are always "hating" in the chat
3rdthawkins: speaking of my grandmother's maternal family, they are white
Ingrid_Doweary: But you know what, bearnut2. There must be some other documents which identified one of the ancestors as white. It's just not ID on any census records.
3rdthawkins: my grandmother's mother was white, as I said, my great grandfather tired to pass for white in NY, he married white
bearnut2: Ingrid_Doweary yeah that true--the census is just the first thing that came to mind. lol
Ingrid_Doweary: I understand, bearnut2 lol
bearnut2: ok 3rdthawkins thanks for the explanation
Selma: and the woman that he married is identified on the records you have found? as white
alt: is this the same set of grandparents 3rdthawkins ... your grandmother's mother ... and the white woman your great-grandfather married?
3rdthawkins: yes alt Negro Selma go figure
Selma: so when you say he married white..who is white?
3rdthawkins: my great grandmother
bearnut2: great grandmother ella?
Selma: Ok enough for me..gotta run...
3rdthawkins: Ella was my grandfather's mother bearnut2, I'm speaking of my grandmother's mother
Selma: Have a great day
bearnut2: bye selma
3rdthawkins: I don't need any of you to understand, I know what i am talking about
bearnut2: ok--now i get it--maybe we need to use paternal and maternal signifiers lol
alt: that's what is confusing ... when you say "my' and not 'a' it is hard to follow which ancestral line you're speaking of.
3rdthawkins: I feel disconnected with I say "a", I like to feel connected so I say my,
bearnut2: ok 3rdthawkins we were just trying to get it straight
3rdthawkins: with-when
alt: you're right 3rdthawkins, you know what you know and don't need to explain it to us except when you 'draw' us into the conversation in trying to explain your research....
3rdthawkins: I know Selma want's to say because the records say negro or black, then I am suppose to accept my ancestor as black, but I am going by stories told by people who either saw the person or is a daughter of the person who saw the woman
alt: when I say "my' great-grandparent.. which line am I talking about.. I have eight (8) great parental lines.
3rdthawkins: his second wife also was white I see alt
bearnut2: well--I need to get off of here and get something done. Its been an enlightening conversation. Thanks 3rdthawkins for sharing with us. Catch ya'll later--alt, Ingrid_Doweary, and 3rdthawkins
Ingrid_Doweary: Cya Bearnut2
alt: take care bearnut2
3rdthawkins: cya bearnut
alt: and i should go too.. thanks for bearing with us 3rdthawkins.. we aren't meaning to be personally attacking you.
Ingrid_Doweary: It's time for me to work on my family history briefing for my husband's family reunion in York, PA this Saturday.
3rdthawkins: ok then, alright alt and INgrid
Ingrid_Doweary: Have a great day, folks.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dozens of major U.S. companies, including Morgan Stanley, Google, Wal-Mart and Dell, on Tuesday urged lawmakers to pass bills that they said would protect new products against "extortive demands" on patents.
The abusive use of patent litigation has become an increasing concern for companies, many of which have been hit by lawsuits by firms known as "patent trolls" that buy intellectual property and seek money from companies that may infringe on these patents.
In a letter to the top Democrats and Republicans on the Senate and House of Representatives' Judiciary Committees, 44 companies urged support for bills that would broaden the power of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review patents and invalidate any that it determines should not have been granted.
Currently, the patent office can review business method patents related to financial services more aggressively than other patents. The proposed legislation would expand that authority to include all business method patents.
The business method patents, many of which are also software patents, are frequently used by "patent trolls" to file infringement lawsuits.
The expanded program "would increase certainty for innovators actually bringing new products to market, who now face an increasing threat of extortive demands based on low-quality patents," the companies said in a letter dated Tuesday.
They estimated that frivolous patent litigation cost companies $29 billion in 2011, the most recent figures available.
Senator Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, introduced the Senate version of the bill in May, and California Representatives Darrell Issa, a Republican, and Judy Chu, a Democrat, launched a similar measure in the House this month.
No action has been taken on the legislation so far, but the backing from major companies could help create momentum.
The White House urged Congress in June to take steps to curb lawsuits by firms that make or sell nothing but specialize in suing others for patent infringement.
Other signatories of the letter include Amazon, Netflix, Newegg, Facebook, Eddie Bauer LLC, Samsung Electronics America, SurveyMonkey, Macy's and the Kroger Co.

Native Delaware: Blooms, bugs
Spring means lush blooms and wide variety of beneficial bugs
1:01 p.m., March 19, 2013--Spring officially gets underway March 20, bringing blooms, birds and bugs. Lots of people get excited about the first redbud flower or returning tree swallow. Fewer get enthused about the first Eastern tent caterpillar or green lacewing that emerges in spring.
But a wide variety of flowering plants and songbirds wouldn't exist without insects. "A number of different insects pollinate plants and many are an important protein source for birds," notes Brian Kunkel, an entomologist with University of Delaware Cooperative Extension.
Campus Stories
From graduates, faculty
Doctoral hooding
Bugs get a bad rap, says Kunkel. Some bugs – stink bugs, Japanese beetles and yes, Eastern tent caterpillars -- deserve the nasty reputation because they damage or destroy ornamental plants, turf grass or agricultural crops.
But many insect species are innocuous – they do no harm. And plenty more, like immature green lacewings, are good guys.
While the adult form of this insect eats pollen and nectar, the young green lacewing gobbles up a slew of pests, including white flies, aphids, adult mealy bugs, and mealy bug eggs and larvae.
"Beneficial insects far outnumber the pests," says Kunkel. "In fact, more than 97 percent of arthropods typically seen in the home landscape are either beneficial or innocuous."
(Arthropods, as you may recall from your school days, include not only insects but also spiders, predatory mites and other creepy crawlies.)
Gardeners often grab a can of pesticide at the first sight of a bug, without even bothering to figure out whether the species is a pest. Retired Hercules technologist and current Master Gardener Frank Ebright used to do that, too.
"I spent my career working with chemicals. I have nothing against them; chemicals have helped to save lives. But I don't see a need for them in my garden," says Ebright.
He tends to a two-acre yard in Cecil County, Md. Once he became a Master Gardener 19 years ago, Ebright's use of chemical pesticides declined but he still spot-treated roses and other plants with pest problems. About five years ago he abandoned lawn chemicals for good and reports that his landscape has never looked better.
"Once I got rid of the chemicals, the beneficial insects starting coming to my yard and taking care of my pest problems," he says.
Ebright will be leading a Master Gardener workshop about beneficial insects and integrated pest management on May 16. "I want gardeners to use chemical control as a last resort, not the first defense, and learn who their friends are."
Sometimes it's easy to identify your friends. Even though there are some 150 species of lady beetles in the U.S., these beneficials are a cinch to recognize. Their size and color may vary but all sport characteristic spots on their abdomens.
Other times, it's tough to tell friend from foe. For example, the hover fly looks like a stinging hornet but the adult form is a first-rate pollinator that has been ranked just after the honeybee in its effectiveness. Plus, the larvae of many species of hover flies gorge on aphids, a pest that can wreak havoc on everything from roses to maple trees.
Ebright's go-to book for identifying insects is Garden Insects of North America by Whitney Cranshaw. If he sees an unknown bug, he snaps a photo of it then compares it to images in Cranshaw's book.
One of the first steps in integrated pest management is "making sure your plants are happy," says Kunkel. Essentially, that comes down to "planting the right plant in the right place," he notes.
If a plant requires moist soil, don't put it in a dry spot. If it needs full sun, don't think you can get away with partial shade. A stressed plant won't be happy and can be more vulnerable to pest infestations, says Kunkel.
Companion plants are another element of integrated pest management. Nasturtium is commonly used as a companion plant, especially in vegetable gardens. Plant nasturtium near cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, collards and kale. The aroma of this colorful annual will repel aphids, squash bugs and striped pumpkin beetles.

Bobby Flay's Chipotle Honey-Glazed Chicken Wings
Ever since my friend Janet made chicken wings for us in the beginning of the summer I have been on a chicken wing kick. She uses a fabulous barbecue spice and it literally needs nothing else! This time I wanted to try something new for a family BBQ. Since we always have some sort of red meat it seems liked the perfect time to try out the new chicken wing recipe.
This recipe came from Bobby Flay's Grill It Cookbook. It has a little bit of spice but if you don't want too much heat cut down the amount of chipotle chiles. The recipe states to put the glaze in two bowls and to pour part of it over the cooked chicken at the end. I just used all of it to baste the chicken. Whatever was left I tossed. The original recipe is below and you can decide how you want to do it. I also didn't cut the tips off the chicken just tucked them under.
1 cup honey
2 to 3 tablespoons pureed canned chipotle chiles in adobo
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons ancho chile powder
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons spanish paprika
3 pounds chicken wings
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
3 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1. Heat the grill to medium-high.
2. Whisk together honey, chipotle puree, 1 tablespoon of the mustard, 1 tablespoon of the ancho powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small bowl. Divide the glaze evenly between 2 bowls, one small, the other large.
3. Stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons of ancho powder with the coriander, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl.
4. Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the tips off the wings and discard (or freeze and use for making chicken stock). Cut each wing into 2 pieces through the joint.
5. Place the chicken wings in a large bowl, add the spice rub and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and place the wings on the grill in an even layer. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat of the grill to medium, turn the wings over, and close the lid of the grill. Continue grilling until just cooked through, 15-20 minutes longer, brushing with the small bowl of glaze every few minutes and turning once during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
6. Transfer the wings to the large bowl, brush with the reserved glaze and toss to coat. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onions.

Sure, when you get hungry, your tummy starts to rumble. But your stomach isn't the only factor in your hunger. First, it can start with your eyes. This may seem like a "duh" statement, but now there is scientific proof that production of a primary hunger hormone can increase after simply looking at pictures of food. (This explains a lot to us here at Hungry Girl!) Wanna know what else can cause cravings, this time for fatty food in particular? According to new research, it turns out that genetics could be responsible; some of us actually taste and respond to fat more than others. Further research is needed to determine the impact this might have on obesity. And of course, your brain controls it all... but there may be a way to outsmart the brain! A new study tested the activity level of certain hunger-related neurons during fasting. Although fasting generally triggers neurons that promote feeding, the data showed that eliminating the receptors to those neurons led to less food consumption. Whoa! We're not fans of fasting, but we wouldn't mind a little help when trying to put down the bag of potato chips. Guess hunger is more complicated than we thought...
It's a good time to be a yogurt-lover, people. Check out some great new picks heading your way. Find a spoon now... or a straw, as the case may be!
Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Smoothies - The company behind the first Greek fro-yo bars now has ready-to-blend smoothie kits. These smoothies are fat-free and all-natural, AND they have 4g fiber per serving. When prepared with skim milk, each 8-ounce serving has 110 - 120 calories (PointsPlus® value 3*). We wonder how they'd taste made with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze... Click to locate!
Yoplait Lactose Free 99% Fat Free Yogurt - Do you say no to lactose? You can say yes to this yogurt -- it tastes REALLY good! Available in Strawberry, French Vanilla, Peach, and Cherry, it has 170 calories and 1.5g fat per 6-ounce container (PointsPlus® value 4*). Who needs that lactose anyway?
YoCrunch Pie Parfaits - Yogurt that tastes like pie is a fantastic concept. Yogurt that tastes like pie AND includes a layer of fruity "filling" and a yummy crust-like topping?! Ridiculous in the best possible way. These parfaits come with gooey fruit on the bottom (Apple, Cherry, or Triple Berry), fat-free vanilla yogurt, and a special topping (Cinna-Crunch or Crumble Crust) to sprinkle over it all. Each 4-oz. serving with topping has 120 calories and 1 - 2g fat (PointsPlus® value 3*). We need these at the HG HQ stat...
We like our oats all kinds of ways (even cold in parfaits)... but we've never SIPPED them. Get this -- Sneaky Pete's Naturally Oatstanding Beverage has only 40 calories, no fat, and 3 grams of fiber per 12-oz. bottle, and it comes in some fun flavors. Look for these in stores next month, or click to order some online... We're intrigued! ***Look who's getting sensible! Mars -- the company behind treats like Twix, Milky Way, and Snickers -- has announced that it will stop making chocolate products with more than 250 calories by the end of 2013. WOW! Good-bye, king-size candy bars -- don't let the door hit you in the nuts on the way out... ***Like your cereal boxes old-school? Lucky you -- another batch of General Mills' adorable retro cereal boxes are back. This time, the limited-edition box designs are from the '80s. Grab a spoon and put on an old episode of Fraggle Rock. ***Gotta have sweets? A new study suggests that it could be best to get your sugar fix out of the way in the morning! Results from a 32-week study show that participants who added dessert to their breakfast lost 40 pounds more on average than the group that avoided sweets... even though all the participants consumed the same number of daily calories. Plus, the sweets-eaters kept off the weight. Interesting! ***Would you request a smaller portion when placing a food order? Probably not, but you might take a smaller serving if it were offered to you. A study at Duke University found that when fast-food customers were asked if they wanted to "downsize" their starchy side dishes, 14 to 33 percent accepted the offer. The average reduction in intake was more than 200 calories per meal. Nice! And that's all we've got. HG out!

By Ryan Jones, www.IsraelToday.co.il
Palestinian officials from the Gaza Strip have distributed a set of carefully-staged photographs they say are evidence that the smuggling tunnels running under the Gaza-Egypt border are for milk and other essential goods, not weapons.
Israel insists that the tunnels, of which intelligence estimates indicate there are hundreds, are used to import small arms and advanced weapons like heavy mortar shells, anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles. The tunnels are also said to be the conduit via which the Palestinians receive the material used to build their Kassam rockets.
Hamas has acknowledged Israel's position by insisting during ceasefire negotiations last month that it would not agree to halt smuggling efforts as part of the truce.
"We cannot talk about stopping smuggling because it is something beyond our ability as a government and we did not give a commitment in this regard," Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh told worshippers at a Gaza City mosque on June 25 as the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire was being finalized.
Egypt, too, has never tried to claim the tunnels were for anything other than arms smuggling, and has even made a show of closing a handful of tunnels and confiscating the weapons found inside for public consumption.
Also backing up the Israeli assertion that the smuggling tunnels could only exist for nefarious purposes are weekly and sometimes daily summaries published by the Israeli government of the quantities of humanitarian aid entering the Hamas-controlled territory. The Palestinians, say Israel, have no need to smuggle essential goods into Gaza because there is no shortage.
Between 100 and 150 trucks carrying humanitarian aid from Israel and international aid organizations enter Gaza on a daily basis. Out of that number, the 50 or so daily shipments that enter via Gaza's central Sufa Crossing contain milk and baby food, according to the manifests.
The Palestinians, and in particular the Hamas regime in Gaza, have been accused of manufacturing a dire humanitarian crisis to elicit international criticism of Israel. So far it has worked, as mainstream international media outlets today routinely refer to the situation in Gaza as a disaster of epic proportions. Some have even gone so far as to parrot the Palestinian line that the situation in Gaza is a "holocaust."
Hamas and its supporters were briefly called out on their lie when in April they claimed that a shortage of industrial fuel had shut down Gaza's only electrical plant and plunged the area into darkness. Israeli officials immediately pointed out that Gaza receives the vast majority of its electricity from Israel.
Further betraying the Palestinian deception were a series of news photographs that showed Hamas leaders covering the windows of their offices with heavy curtains and lighting candles to give the impression of a blackout during press conferences.
Israel has imposed a limited embargo against Hamas-ruled Gaza, but has repeatedly stressed that the sanctions only limit the import of non-essential goods and some building materials that had previously been used to manufacture rockets. Exports from Gaza have also been curtailed to combat the terrorists' practice of hiding bombs in shipments of agricultural produce.

Windows NT Registry File (REGF)
From ForensicsWiki
Revision as of 14:40, 12 July 2013 by Joachim Metz (Talk | contribs) (→External Links)
Microsoft Windows NT 4 (and later) uses the Windows NT Registry File (REGF) to store system and application related data, e.g. configurations, most recently used (MRU) files.
MIME types
File signature
REGF has the following file signature:
hexadecimal: 72 65 67 66
ASCII: regf
File types
There are multiple types of REGF files:
- normal (data) file
- transaction log file
Transactional Registry (TxR)
In Vista the Transactional Registry (TxR) was introduced. TxR creates transaction log files similar to:
- %FILE%{%GUID%}.TM.blf
- %FILE%{%GUID%}.TMContainer00000000000000000001.regtrans-ms
- %FILE%{%GUID%}.TMContainer00000000000000000002.regtrans-ms
Where %FILE% is the name of the REGF normal (data) file, e.g. NTUSER.DAT and %GUID% a string representation of a GUID/UUID.
TxR is similar to Transactional NTFS (TxF) and uses the Common Log File System (CLFS).
The REGF basically consists of a set of hive bins. These hive bins contain cells that make up a hierarchy of keys and values.

Metal Artist and former UW Professor Mary Lee Hu to speak at UW Libraries October 30, 7-9 pm
Media Contact: A.C. Petersen
Libraries Communications Officer
(206) 543-9389
More Information
"Innovators 8: Mary Lee Hu," Professional Jeweler Magazine, August 2000
UW Alumni Association registration page
The University of Washington Libraries and the UW Alumni Association present the 2009 Anne Gould Hauberg Libraries Artist Images Lecture featuring Mary Lee Hu, retired UW professor of metal arts, speaking in Suzzallo Library, Room 101, October 30, 2009, 7-9 p.m.
The talk will be followed by a reception with the artist. The event is free, but advance registration is requested. For more information and to register online, visit www.UWalum.com.
Utilizing traditional techniques such as wrapping, coiling, weaving, knitting and twining, Mary Lee Hu creates intricate and sophisticated wearable art from 18 and 20 karat gold.
Her work is in collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Renwick Gallery, the American Crafts Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. Hu has received three National Endowment of the Arts Craftsman Fellowships. Her work is included in several important books on the subject of jewelry in the 20th century. She is the winner of the 2008 Irving and Yvonne Twining Humber Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.
Hu was introduced to jewelry and metalsmithing in high school. She was also exposed to small scale metalworking during a summer camp program. She was immediately attracted to the scale of the work, the processes and the image of herself wearing what she made. She went to University of Miami, Ohio for two years and then went to Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield, Michigan to complete her undergraduate degree.
During her study, Hu found wrapped, braided and netted wire in sword handles from medieval Europe and Asia. Tibet provided an inspirational chain pattern composed of densely knitted wire. She found similar forms in work from Palestine and India. Even American Indian basketry used twining techniques (a weaving method where the weft is twisted in the process). In short, she found enough starting points upon which to base a lifetime of investigation.
Established in 1989, the Anne Gould Hauberg Libraries Artist Images Series celebrates prominent artists from the Pacific Northwest. Past honorees and lecturers include Dale Chihuly, Patti Warashina, Trimpin, and Norie Sato.
The University of Washington Libraries is a network of more than 17 libraries serving three campuses: Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma. Major facilities include Suzzallo and Allen Libraries, Odegaard Undergraduate Library and the Health Sciences Library, as well as subject-oriented libraries.

We put together a daily deal for entrepreneurs and internet marketers. Anything from SEO services to software to stock images, if it will help you build your online business, we'll bring it to you at a smoking deal.
Every entrepreneur dreams of building an empire and we want to help them do that one deal at a time. We need a logo that says who we are and exudes success.
We are a blank slate at this point and open to many different ideas about the look and feel of the logo.
Entrepreneurs and internet marketers. These guys are VERY web savvy and have seen every sales pitch under the sun.
I'd like the logo and design to appeal to web design savvy people. Nothing too over the top cartoony and cheesy but not too serious either.
I sound like a dating profile that can't decide.... not tall but not short. I hope you get the idea.
I would like more than just the company name written in a fancy font. The logo should include a meaningful symbol related to the industry, name, or making money (no dollar signs though).
I like clean designs with a modern look and feel.
The final product will need to be delivered in the following formats:

Central Tablelands Heritage Lands Trust
The Central Tablelands Heritage Lands Trust comprises some 330 land parcels in the State of New South Wales Australia being over 15,000 Hectares (on the central tableands area). The Trust looks after various reserve lands set aside for recreation (camping areas along side rivers) to reserves with Heritage value and enviromental purposes. The Trust also holds some 120 Leases and Licences (mostly for Grazing).
The logo is required to clearly identify who we are and what we do and allow both landholders and reserve users to clearly identify the Trust. I would like to see the logo used on various printed material and online as needed.
You may consider using the initials to shorten the name ie. CTHL within the logo somwhere.
Please use the colour green (not too light) and a mountain. Please also place a river down the mountain (blue in colour) and have it form the underline for the larger text (CTHL). Maybe also a bird in the sky.

The White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), Sometimes Known as the Sea Eagle, is the Largest Bird of Prey in Europe and Has Been Successfully Reintroduced to Scotland
This huge eagle has a short tail and very heavy bill. The body is brown, and the head and tail gradually become paler as the bird matures. At six-years adults have a creamy head and pure white tail.
Length: 70-90cm; wingspan: 200-240cm
Status in UK
42 pairs, reintroduced and increasing; RED listed; resident
Population Trends
Once widespread in the UK, the white-tailed eagle disappeared from England in the 1830s and finally became extinct in Scotland in 1917.
A major project to reintroduce the bird began in 1975 on the Isle of Rum, where young Norwegian birds were released. The birds do not breed until they are five or six, and it was not until 1985 that they finally successfully bred. They are now steadily spreading along the west coast and through the western isles.
A reintroduction programme began in south-west Ireland in 2007 and a feasibility study is underway to investigate a project in East Anglia.
Habitat and Distribution
This eagle is a coastal species and breeds on rocky coastlines, as well as large lakes.
Confined to the west coast of Scotland, especially the Inner and Outer Hebrides.
The massive nest is usually on a cliff ledge or a large tree and is used year after year.
Fish are taken from close to the surface, while birds are usually driven into the water and pursued until they are exhausted; birds up to the size of greylag geese can be taken in flight. Carrion is an important food, especially in winter.

What Is Strategic Coaching? Workshops, trainings, courses, and conferences build teachers' declarative knowledge (factual knowledge teachers bring to a task) but are insufficient in impacting what teachers do on a daily basis in their classrooms. Coaching supports the development of procedural knowledge – knowing how to perform a specific strategy; know the steps: what to do first, what to do next. FIE defines Strategic Coaching as the art and science of improving performance of others by providing needed support and tools, building a climate of trust, and creating the conditions needed for ongoing learning for themselves, for the teachers they coach, and for the children.Strategies which reflect proven effective instruction are selected to address instructional need and improve the overall quality of the teaching/learning process. The Strategic Coach focuses on how best to ensure the growth and development of teachers – finding the best way to address the needs of teachers and the children within their classrooms – which in turn increases children's opportunity to learn.
Six questions give direction to the FIE Strategic Coaching Model:
With these questions in mind the FIE Strategic Coaching Model was developed. The coaching model elicits explicit behaviors, which are observable and measurable and allows for specific communication and recordable feedback and documentation used to improve teacher confidence and proficiency in implementing effective practice. Two principles undergird the work of the model: (1) Strategies coaches use to increase teachers' knowledge and skill are the same strategies they want teachers to use with their children and (2) if teachers experience these strategies as a learner, they will use these strategies in their role as teacher.
The FIE Strategic Coaching Model (Click Here to Download FIE Strategic Coaching Model) is made up of 5 interrelated structural elements that define the knowledge and skills needed to influence behavior and change teaching:
The structural elements are designed to influence the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of teachers within the context of their own work. What makes the FIE model unique is that it recognizes that changing practices has two interconnected domains: (1) acquiring needed background knowledge and (2) scaffolding in the form of job-embedded coaching in which coaches model behaviors for teachers to use with their children.
One critical characteristic of effective teaching is deep content knowledge. If we are to teach content to others, we must have developed expertise in content ourselves. To ensure that teachers have deep understanding of the content they teach and the skill to use scientifically-based curriculum, coaches, too, must have deep content knowledge as well as the skill to transfer that knowledge to teachers. They must understand the central facts and the concepts of subject matter, how ideas and concepts are interrelated, the processes to establish new knowledge, and determine the validity of the claims. This knowledge not only affects what we teach, but what we notice, and how we organize and represent information. Two Core Competency areas are embedded within Strategic Component 1.
To enhance children's conceptual understanding, teachers must have a solid foundation in the subjects they teach. Teachers' level of understanding is reflected in quality of instruction and achievement of children. Strategic Coaches:
Ensuring quality instruction begins with establishing an appropriate learning environment that includes understanding and use of classroom organization, rituals and routines, instructional materials, differentiated instructional groupings, and effective use of instructional and non instructional time. Strategic Coaches:
Influencing behaviors reflects changing teachers' knowledge, skills, and dispositions within the context of their classrooms. The ability to influence teachers begins with understanding the beliefs and needs of the teacher, identifying and managing barriers, and jointly determining goals. The ability to influence – create and sustain positive change in others – encompasses related core competency strategies: trusting relationships and collaboration, positive interactions, motivation and reinforcement, active leadership, and acknowledging and accommodating important aspects of the change process. Five Core Competencies are embedded in Strategic Component 2.
The coach-teacher relationship is a learning relationship in which both the coach and teacher gain knowledge. The relationship is built on mutual trust, shared goals, and commitment to growth and change. It manifests itself in the willingness of both the coach and the teacher to take risks, make mistakes, and accept each others' strengths and weaknesses. Communication skills, such as [active] listening, empathy, questioning, clarification and reflection, and restatement of content knowledge and feelings are essential to relationship building. Strategic Coaches:
Adult-child, child-child, and adult-adult interactions are important aspects of every classroom, impacting children's security, behavior, and learning. Strategic Coaches:
Motivation affects the amount of time people are willing to devote to learning which affects positive change. Preconceived ideas and resistance can be overcome by motivational strategies. Strategic Coaches:
Leadership requires coaches to have the tools to influence teaching and improve classroom instruction. They must have a clear and informed vision of what they want the classroom to look like, translate that vision into goals, develop and implement an action plan and monitor progress, and intervene in a supportive manner when necessary. Strategic Coaches:
Strategic Coaches are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner as they work with teachers and staff, colleagues, and families and their children.
In order to effect productive change, one has to understand that change is a process not an event and that a person (adult or child) goes through a series of stages as they adopt new behaviors and practice to automaticity. These stages range from no engagement in activities to full engagement and vary in intensity and expression across the stages. Coaches and teachers must attend to the process of change if, in fact, learning is to occur. Strategic Coaches:
1 Archie George, et. al., Measuring Implementation in Schools: The Stages of Concern Questionnaire (Austin, TX: Southwest Educational Development laboratory, 2006).2 George, 2006.
Planning provides the framework for productive instruction, focuses on important aspects of instruction, and links preparation and implementation with what needs to be done. Planning is intentional, organized, and thoughtful. Two Core Competency areas are embedded within this strategic component.
Instructional effectiveness can be improved when specific learning goals for children are set. Goal setting requires teachers to think more purposefully about what to teach and how to teach it. It helps identify missing information and needed materials and also helps maintain focus on critical knowledge to be taught. Strategic Coaches:
Ongoing evaluation encourages teachers to refine current practice, use assessment to inform practice, and assess the impact of strategies and materials on children's achievement. Informed decision makers administer a variety of assessments and use the information to adapt instruction to meet the needs of different learners. Strategic Coaches:
A coach plans and implements professional development experiences designed to help teachers improve the teaching and learning process through support in selecting and using instructional materials, providing in-depth content knowledge, increasing teacher understanding and use of effective teaching strategies, and providing sufficient scaffolding support for teachers to master new knowledge and skills and to assimilate knowledge and skills into their daily routine. One Core Competency area is embedded within this strategic component.
Coaching increases the likelihood that new strategies will be implemented as part of teachers' daily instructional routines. Coaches' support for teachers fosters collegiality, deepens teachers understanding of classroom practice, and facilitates the transfer of new strategies from the workshop environment to the classroom. Strategic Coaches:
The goal of the FIE Strategic Coaching Model is to increase teachers' opportunities to learn, practice, and internalize a set of research- and standards-based instructional strategies, thereby increasing children's opportunity to learn and readiness for school.
In order to provide coaches with the necessary skills and knowledge to support teachers' consistent use of effective teaching practices and increase children's learning, an intensive institute is designed to infuse coaches with the necessary knowledge bases (learning about something) and coaching skills and strategies (learning to do something) to help teachers develop and implement classroom activities that positively influence children's learning. The FIE Strategic Coaching Institute is a three-day intensive institute designed to increase participants understanding of the coaching roles, explore the knowledge bases supporting the Strategic Components, practice and become confident in implementing specific behaviors related to the Core Competencies, and use tools for planning and assessing quality of implementation. Participants will engage in an in-depth exploration of the following topics:
Workshops, trainings, courses, and conferences plus coaching supports teachers as they practice new skills and strategies, apply them in the classroom, and build confidence and proficiency in using research-based curriculum.

Big changes to Summit
During the months since UDS – P in Orlando, FL, the Summit Hackers have been hard at work. As of right now, we have modified more than 2400 lines of code and fixed 24 bugs. Most of those 2400 lines of code have been adding new features and finally getting around to adding a better looking schedule view when on your personal device. While we have made great strides towards getting Summit to be perfect, there is still more work that needs to be done. Our first big test for these new features will be the Linaro Connect Q1.12 event that starts next Monday, February 6. I have the pleasure of being able to go to this event, so I hope to obtain feedback while I am there on ways to further improve Summit for next UDS. Please feel free to poke around with the changes and provide any feedback you may have!
Also, thanks to the work of Stuart Langridge, the Summit agenda view will soon be mobile friendly, making it easy to follow your schedule on your cell phone!
