The HUS VM is intended for use among businesses of 500 to 1,000 employees and can support as much as 4 PB of data or 64 PB of virtualized data under a single management interface. It comes in two configurations: one a controller-only version that can front-end and virtualize other vendors' arrays, and second, a version with both controller and solid state and serial attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives. Last year, Hitachi dispensed with the use of both FIbre Channel and SATA disk drives, saying that they could get more economy with the use of SAS drives. As many as 1,152 SAS drives and 128 solid state drives can be accommodated.
The HUS VM supports CIFS, NFS, Fibre Channel, and iSCSI connectivity to Ethernet and Fibre Channel SANs. It uses the same microcode as the Hitachi VSP and is managed by Hitachi Command Suite 7. Included with the HUS VM are adapters and reference architectures for use with VMware, Microsoft, and Oracle, which enable management from these platforms' management consoles and allow backup and recovery from them as well. Reference architectures for SAP and virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) are also included.
Block and object support come from the Hitachi VSP, while file support comes through integration of the SiliconFS file system, acquired with its acquisition of BlueArc in 2011.
[ Learn How To Choose Right Unified Storage System. ]
Each controller in the HUS VM is actually dual, sharing up to 256 GB of cache memory. The 5U controller can support as many as 60 TB logical unit numbers (LUNs).
The file module is 3U high and contains 32 GB of cache memory for each of its four clustered nodes. A total of 128 file systems support a maximum size of 256 TB.
The array has 32, 8-Gbps Fibre Channel connections and connects to storage with 6-Gbps SAS.
In addition, Hitachi offers a 100% availability guarantee with the HUS VM and, according to company claims, the HUS VM offers data migration 90% faster than competitive systems.
The HUS VM controller only version starts at $156,000.

2007 K1200Gt 31K miles, My throttle seems to be sticking, the bike also does not like 3000 rpm. Let me explain.
For about a week or so now the bike has had a little stumble at 3000 rpm, no big deal as I am not riding at 3000 all that much. But tonight things were different, the throttle seemed to be sticking between 2500 and 3000 rpm, I had to use quite a bit of brake to get the revs back down, they do come down on their own, but they take their sweet time about it. Now when I try to run the engine at 3000 in neutral it will stay there for a few minutes then drop off to about 1500.
So my questions are this, is there even a cable to stick or is the bike drive by wire? And is this a know issue that others have experienced and how did they remedy it. Thanks

You're right about loafers and socks - they suck. But it's necessity, as I'm afraid my school shoes met an untimely demise and going sockless isn't an option - for the forseeable future, tan tassle loafers are my smartest shoes.
I always associated both loafers and argyle with a preppy aesthetic - although they are, as you say, from different backgrounds. So I was rather hoping they'd sit okay together.
I also can't go completely sockless with these shoes because they are far too tight; according to the gentleman at the store the leather should stretch slightly over time, but until then they are simply not comfortable without a bit of lining. I understand you can take them to a specialist who'll stretch the leather artificially, in the proper way? Anybody know anything about that?
As for your wild socks? I'm sure it looks fantastic but I still deem it a guilty pleasure
At least tell me that when push comes to shove, you wear black socks with black tie

The Los Angeles Clippers addressed an acute need for more shooting Tuesday by acquiring guard J.J. Redick from Milwaukee and forward Jared Dudley from Phoenix in a three-team deal that sent guard Eric Bledsoe and swingman Caron Butler to the Suns. The Bucks will get two second-round picks in the trade.
Redick, a career 39 percent shooter from three-point range, will get a four-year contract worth $27 million in a sign-and-trade contract.
Yahoo! Sports first reported the trade.
New Clippers coach Doc Rivers has always liked Dudley, who averaged 10.9 points last season for the Suns and can play several positions. Dudley was also a favorite of new Clippers assistant Alvin Gentry, who was Dudley's head coach in Phoenix.
In Bledsoe, the rebuilding Suns, with new general manager Ryan McDonough and coach Jeff Hornacek, would seem to be expressing dissatisfaction with Goran Dragic, who got a four-year, $30 million free agent deal from Phoenix last summer. Bringing in Bledsoe also does not bode well for last year's first-round pick, guard Kendall Marshall.
Yet the Suns believe that Bledsoe and Dragic could play together next season, with Bledsoe spending some time off the ball at shooting guard.
The Clippers held onto the 24-year-old Bledsoe for the last year and a half despite having several suitors, wanting to hold onto his talents even after acquiring Chris Paul in 2011. They felt Bledsoe was one of the league's best backup point guards, certainly capable of starting for most teams.
But Bledsoe wanted to start and was certainly looking for a big contract when he became a free agent in two years. With Paul agreeing to a $107 million max deal this week, there would be no payday for Bledsoe forthcoming by the Clippers.
Milwaukee had little chance of re-signing Redick, whom it acquired at the trade deadline in February from Orlando in a deal that sent forward Tobias Harris to the Magic. The Bucks also lost forward Mike Dunleavy, Jr., on Monday, when the veteran reached a verbal agreement with Chicago on a two-year, $6 million deal.

But I think when you make an attempt to be more introspective, I think you can be just as emotionally jarring and even scarier because all of the sudden you're not pointing at someone else.

"The poem, to me (until I go broke) is an attempt, an experiment, a failing experiment, toward assertion with broken means but an assertion, always, of a new and total culture, the lifting of an environment to expression. Thus it is social, the poem is a social instrument."
"I too must attempt a way by which I can raise myself above the ground, and soar triumphant through the lips of men."

It all began in church at the age of five… One Sunday, the preacher called all the kids at the Southern Baptist church to the front to ask some questions in front of all the adults. When the preacher asked a small tow-headed boy what he thought hell would be like, the boy replied, "Preacher, hell will be hotter than the Walmart parking lot on the Fourth of July barefoot." The church erupted with laughter, the little boy was hooked on the sound and a comic was born.

Like going back in a time capsule, Ray Gordon, standing near the "dino pit," talked about the time the millennium just turned and his daughters, Katie and Chelsie, were maybe 5 and 7 years old.
Like going back in a time capsule, Ray Gordon, standing near the "dino pit," talked about the time the millennium just turned and his daughters, Katie and Chelsie, were maybe 5 and 7 years old.
Gordon, the museum's founder, was watching his dream unfold Wednesday morning, as the Children's Museum of Greater Fall River Inc. was open for its first full five-day week.
But it wasn't his dream, Gordon asserted, standing in the museum's new home. Until not long ago, the historic granite building on North Main Street was a courthouse that looked like a castle. Now it's become a place where imaginations are set free and learning can be unlimited.
"My kids grew up in museums like this," Gordon said.
"They were literally the first volunteers" of Fall River's traveling children's museum, he said.
"One of the great things is they got to play. They have just been my inspiration. My role in their lives has really been to show them … to be a role model," Gordon said, choking up a bit.
After a passing of the torch last spring from Gordon as executive director to Jo-Anne Sbrega, in "this long journey," he was seeing — for the first time — the dino room and Violet's room where you make music, and rooms with trains and Legos and colored lights and activities where air suspends balls in a Bernoulli box or children can just clang kitchen pans to create sound.
Gordon couldn't remember whether the year was 1999 or 2000 — or 2001 — when the Children's Museum received its nonprofit status.
"I remember it was Oct. 27," Gordon said, standing next to Sbrega as Bristol Community College students put the finishing touches to the dino pit by pouring bags of rubberized mulch over white bones painted into the base.
Photos on display through the years of the traveling museum included his favorites when his daughters were with former Mayor Ed Lambert making psychedelic-looking hats from giant coffee filters maybe a foot-and-a-half wide. Daughter Katie, now 17, has loved art, and she did tattooing for kids years ago, he said.
Their first traveling museum activities came at Fall River Celebrates America.
Gordon and Sbrega talked from their family and other experiences about how museums can help young people who love art learn they're not destined to be the classic "starving artist."
Sbrega said the children's museum in Holyoke had its first quarters in the basement of an elementary school. They had a one-room TV studio with a green screen that remains, with a photo of her son Dan when he participated living in that city.
Dan Sbrega is now 36 and a film producer in New York City with three children. "Who's to say that didn't inspire something in him?" Sbrega said proudly.
The museum also opened up possibilities for the students of Bristol Community College fine arts teacher Erik Durant.
His museum fabrication class built from scratch the orangey tunnels of chicken wire and plaster of paris where children can climb walls, crawl through a high tunnel or affix the blue and yellow bones to the wall of a triceratops or a brachiosaurus.
Jess Demedeiros of New Bedford and one of Durant's most involved fine arts students in the project, remembered a "lot of problem solving" to make the walls and caves work. Starting with a blank canvas was one of the challenges.
Demedeiros had her own inspiration doing the work: "I have children of my own," she said of her 5- and 7-year-old. Smiling she said, "They've seen me working on it and how it's coming along."
"I'm really excited that it's finally open," Demedeiros said.
Durant's next class this summer will be building a jeep with other relics, a la "Jurassic Park," in the corner of the room.
Gordon, a professed dinosaur lover, spied the first child coming to the museum Wednesday:
Emma Pickering, 2½, of Fall River. She was shyly standing in the corner with her grandmother, Karen Pickering, whom the little girl in a Polish family calls "Boppy."
Emma wore a dashing pink printed dress with a pale blue ribbon in her hair — she always wears a ribbon, said her Boppy.
She stood shyly in a corner holding a water bottle next to a couple of blow-up T-Rexes. But it wasn't long before Gordon had coaxed her into the pit, encouraging the little girl as she dug for bones.
"It's exciting. It's been a long journey," Gordon said.
Sbrega recalled teaming up with Gordon and the Children's Museum in 2006. "I joined the board and instinctively knew I wanted to be part of it and take it to the next level," she said.
With more than 30 years of experience as an early childhood teacher and owner of a pre-school, Sbrega shared a couple of experiences showing both sides of why this museum means so much to Fall River.
Before the Bristol County Board of Commissioners decided to lease the courthouse to be retrofitted as a children's museum a year ago, they would put on activities as a traveling museum at many local events.
Sbrega recalled one woman, with her two little children, "would go to every museum event they could walk to."
That woman heard Sbrega responding to a political candidate who came up to her during the annual "Arts Around the Block" in the Bank Street neighborhood. The person questioned why Fall River needed a children's museum when there was one in Providence and others in the region.
"Because a lot of our local families don't get to cross that big blue bridge," the woman heard Sbrega tell the candidate.
"Thank you for saying that," the woman told Sbrega, "because we don't have a car."
Gordon said when Sbrega, with her daughter Christi, an early childhood education teacher, came aboard the Children's Museum they all grew "to a whole other level."
"When I came on board, the passion Ray had for the project was just so obvious," Sbrega said.
Routinely they used the annual festival at the Narrows Center for the Arts, one year luring "51 field trips" to the Narrows one of the most gigantic Lego exhibits anywhere.
"Fall River as I See It" was another children's success story.
This time it was teen-agers from the Boys and Girls Club. With a grant, they bought 25 digital cameras and offered instruction for what was intended to be a six-week class. But it lasted two years.
The older children, many of whom had never been to an art museum, saw their work displayed at Government Center and, one summer at BCC, they held a special program to show their work with their names attached to it. "There wasn't a dry eye in the place," Sbrega recalled. "It was their night."
Now that the Children's Museum of Greater Fall River is open full time, Wednesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m., the days of traveling to different venues are in the past.
Sbrega is the full-time, paid executive director, with two full-time early childhood educators working with her: daughter Christi Sbrega and Kali McDowell. Both hail from Fall River and each has at least a dozen years working in the field. They had both been working as pre-school teachers at WORD Inc. Child Development Center in Fall River until recent weeks.
"I think it's awesome. The kids will be having so much fun," McDowell said.
"It's rewarding to see it come together and see it come alive. That's got to be the best experience for me," Christi Sbrega said.
Ray Gordon, who's worked for the past 20 years at SSTAR — handling technology and social media, while teaching courses at BCC in child development and psychology, offers two contrasting pictures of his vantage point for the Children's Museum.
On the one hand, he modestly says, "I'm a nobody from Fall River," as if he's no one special.
On the other hand, offering an apology first, Gordon said, "Sometimes I've felt like Moses. I always felt my time would be limited here. My job was to plant the seed. I know they'll do a good job."
Remembering the early years, he said, "Those first steps are the most difficult. You ask 'Is it the right thing to do?'"
It's been years in the making convincing others "that this is going to be a great thing for Fall River, and making Fall River believe," Gordon said.
"My main purpose in doing this was my two kids. I saw how much they loved children's museums. I wanted to inspire them to follow their dreams … not to listen to all the negative stuff."
As for not being involved except in a supportive role from a far these days, Gordon said, "I have no regrets. This was my job to plant the seeds … until the real gardeners come and make it bloom. And I know they will."

OCEAN CITY – Discussion over the Race for the Cure event to raise money for breast cancer continued this week during the Police Commission meeting yesterday, and the opportunity opened for comments to be made on the police department's current hiring freeze.
Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure received a date hold for April 22, 2012 from the Mayor and City Council earlier this week to plan for the Race for the Cure event in Ocean City.
The proposed race route creates a loop moving down Baltimore Avenue moving east to the Boardwalk and returning to the Inlet for the finish.
In the event application, the Ocean City Police Department commented that the race route would have to include 40 to 45 officers on patrol for traffic and safety concerns on Baltimore Avenue. The department suggested moving the race route to the Boardwalk minimizing the amount of officers to five on duty for to patrol the event.
"We met a little resistance from the Komen people to moving the event up and down the Boardwalk," Councilman Doug Cymek said.
The observation was made during the Mayor and City Council meeting that there wouldn't even be 45 police officers available for the event in 2012, due to the hiring freeze placed over the department currently as the town is right sizing.
"I am concerned over the amount of officers we are down," Cymek said. "And I am going to take this opportunity to inject that I hope we can get six in the academy in July."
Council President Jim Hall said that the council has been working through the ordinances to reduce newly hired town employee pay and benefits in order to lift the hiring freeze.
"We can't hire anyone right now," Jim Hall said. "We don't even know what their pay scale will be at this point."
With the discussion approaching on the proposed ordinance to lower newly hired town employees' pay and benefits coming up at next week's Mayor and City Council meeting on Tuesday, Cymek asked the council president if the police department would be able to put six candidates in the police academy by July.
"I can't tell you that yet," Jim Hall said. "We have two more steps. We have the 401(k) and the employee pay … they are all scheduled. In 30 days, we should have everything squared."
Cymek said that the law is in jeopardy if the council does not move to place candidates in the academy by July. Jim Hall responded that he did not agree with Cymek's comment.
"I encourage you to allow officers to go into the July academy because if not at this time next year we could be down 20 officers," Police Chief Bernadette DiPino said. "I have concerns about it and there would have to be changes in the way we operate. The level of service is going to have to change and that is the bottom line."
DiPino pointed out that during the Fireman's Parade the police department does use a large quantity of officers, similar to the amount the Race for the Cure event would need if it ran on Baltimore Avenue.
"I think the last parade we had down there [downtown] we used officers, reserve officers and volunteers," Cymek said.
The last thing the commission wanted was for the event to be let go because a race route could not be agreed upon. Councilman Lloyd Martin said the town will just have to use their heads to make the event work.
There were suggestions of residential areas, or even to create a loop by using the Boardwalk with a pink stripe and moving the route east to the beach by creating some kind of walkway over the sand.

Global leader in diabetes care recognizes anniversary of Canadian roots
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Danish-based pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk is celebrating the 90th anniversary of when diabetes patients were first treated with the company's insulin. With its Canadian headquarters in Mississauga, the company is focused on developing new and better treatments for people with diabetes. Now the world's largest diabetes care company, Novo Nordisk provides therapeutic treatments for an estimated 23 million people with diabetes worldwide and produces approximately 50 per cent of all insulin in the world.
Novo Nordisk's Canadian roots run deep and can be traced back to the University of Toronto, where Sir Frederick Banting and Charles Best first discovered insulin in 1921. In 1923, Nobel-prize winning physiologist Dr. August Krogh was granted permission from Banting and Best to produce insulin in Denmark, founding Nordisk Insulinlaboratorium - the company now known as Novo Nordisk.
Since firmly establishing itself in Canada in 1983, Novo Nordisk has earned an enviable reputation for corporate achievement, emerging as Canada's market leading diabetes company. Novo Nordisk has been named among the fastest growing Top 20 Canadian research-based pharmaceutical companies, and has earned the distinction of being a Top Employer in the Greater Toronto Area.
"Ninety years ago, our commitment to helping those living with diabetes began, shaping Novo Nordisk into the world leading diabetes company it is today," said Vince Lamanna, President, Novo Nordisk Canada Inc. "It is important to recognize and celebrate our roots as we move forward, striving for new innovations and advancements that help build a healthy future for Canadians, and people around the world."
The beginning of Novo Nordisk
During a visit to the United States in 1922, Dr. August Krogh and his wife, Marie - a medical doctor living with diabetes - learned of the discovery of insulin in Canada. Marie urged her husband to meet with Professor John James Rickard Macleod at the University of Toronto, who was leading the team of researchers behind the discovery. August and Marie returned to Copenhagen in December 1922, bringing with them a desire to start insulin production in Scandinavia. A few months later, production was up and running and the first patients were treated at a hospital in Copenhagen. This was the beginning of what Novo Nordisk is today.
Since then, the company has pioneered many important advances in diabetes treatment including human insulin (1982) and the world's first insulin pen, NovoPen® (1985). Later it developed several modern insulins (insulin analogues with improved properties) and is now also the leader in a new class of diabetes treatments - GLP-1 therapies. In parallel, Novo Nordisk has applied the skills it has built within diabetes on developing biopharmaceutical products for treatment of hemophilia, growth disorders and women's health.
Novo Nordisk's largest shareholder is the Novo Nordisk Foundation, a Danish Foundation, which provides a stable basis for the company's activities and supports humanitarian and scientific purposes.
Making a Difference
At Novo Nordisk, patients are the priority. Novo Nordisk programs are making positive and lasting contributions in countries around the world, as well as right here in communities across Canada:
About Diabetes in Canada

I wonder, if Tonks would end up being a ghost, would she be able to alter her exterior as well, she being a Metamorphmagus and all?
I wonder, if Tonks would end up being a ghost, would she be able to alter her exterior as well, she being a Metamorphmagus and all?
Completely my own opinion, but I would say so, yes. We don't know a lot about metamorphosing, only that a metamorphmagus like Tonks can, if she concentrates, change her appearance at will. I don't think that this situation would change if shewere to ever beocme a ghost; she would just then start changing into pearly white transparent things instead!Originally Posted by Konrad
On a different note, I don't think that Tonks becoming a ghost is very likely. Her character is very lively, and she is a brave person. From what we see of ghosts, most felt some sort of misery during their lives, felt that they still had something to do on Earch, or were too afraid to 'go on'. Doesn't sound like Tonks to me...
Just my two cents
Well, I'd say no. A ghost, is just an echo of you after you die and so the ghost wouldn't really carry on your abilities. As a ghost, your true form is destroyed. You just exist in smoke-form and you can't really perform magic, I guess. We've seen ghosts playing head-hockey, but that is kind of different from being able to do magic and metamorphise.I wonder, if Tonks would end up being a ghost, would she be able to alter her exterior as well, she being a Metamorphmagus and all?
I believe your ability to do magic dies with you and even if you re-appear in the magical world as a ghost, you're like neither here nor there like Nick says in OotP. So, you just continue to 'live' without your actual capabilities.
Having said that, if you look at Tonks, I'd say the odds on her becoming a ghost are like 40-60. Though she is a happy person and someone who doesn't brood, or pretty easygoing in general, people who become ghosts are those who do not want to die. They're so attached to the world they live that it's hard for them to go beyond the Veil into the 'other world'. So they're just sort of stuck up in the middle. Also Nick says in OotP that people who become ghosts are the ones who choose to remain behind. And I have a feeling that Tonks would choose to remain behind because of Remus.
She loves him dearly and accepts him for what he is, and if she's going to die young, I think she would at least consider coming back. So, she might, for all we know, come back as a ghost.
5 points to Hufflepuff
Thats an interesting queston, first of all I dont think that Tonks would choose to become a ghost, as JKR said we would find out more about that in the future. She doesent seem like the type to be afraid of death, she is an Auror, so she's up against life threating situations on a day to day basis.I wonder, if Tonks would end up being a ghost, would she be able to alter her exterior as well, she being a Metamorphmagus and all?
To answer your question I would have to saty its a possibility because Tonks doesent really know her true hair color or matbe even her true apperance because she changes it so often. She changes her physical features so often that its possible that she would be able to do that as a ghost if she were to become one. I dont think her ghost form would be able to chose what form to choose so she might be able to change forms.
Yes, but then again, if Nearly Headless Nick could change himself he would probably have his head removed by now.. I believe that when you become a ghost you take the form you had when you died. Therefore I think that Tonks would be stuck in the form she had last. Also, I can't envision ghosts having any color (I'm stuck in the "Ghosts have to be black-and-white" mode), so I don't think that the color of her hair would vary much even if she did still have her power.Originally Posted by nysuperstarz
Just my opinion,
- Jacie the Cat
Goodbye, everyone.
Thanks for the memories.
What house do you guys think Tonks would belong to?
Tonks, well, hard to say. She's definitely brave and courageous (being an Auror), so she could fit into Gryffindor. She also mentions in OotP that her HoH thought she lacked responsibility and that sounds like McGonagall to me more than any other Head.
She also must have been clever enough to become an Auror, so Ravenclaw is not too of the mark. But remember that it's your choices that put you in whichever house you belong to. Harry is in Gryffindor because he chose not to go to Slytherin and Hermione who should have been in Ravenclaw is in Gryffindor because she values bravery more than cleverness. So, in the end it all depends on Tonks' choice.
Good question. The only house we can safely rule out is Slytherin.
Tonks is brave (charging into the Department of Mysteries), stubborn and loyal (in matters regarding the heart and Lupin) as well as smart (she's an Auror after all).
Somehow, I was under the impression that she was from Ravenclaw, though I may be grossly mistaken. We do know that she was too mischievious to be a prefect. I think you can put her in either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. I think she's a bit too bold for Hufflepuff.
I disagree with this. There had to have been a time when Tonks, as a baby, was not able to completely control her Metamorphosing, even if it was only a couple of years. Also, in HBP, she loses her powers and her hair is a lank, mousy brown. I've always assumed that was her natural hair colour -- when she loses the power, her body reverts to what's natural. (I have read several stories, however, where Tonks is unintentionally morphing to resemble Remus...your pick on that one.)Originally Posted by nysuperstarz
Also, Tonks is, when not in disguise, described the same way in the beginnings of OotP and HBP: as having a "pale, heart-shaped face". In OotP, she has "dark, twinking eyes". I think that Tonks keeps most of her natural appearance (i.e., the face shape and shade) most of the time. She plays with noses to entertain the girls and complete disguises for the benefit of the Order, but I think she stays "herself" as a rule.
Hmm.... I couldn't see the certain birth date of Tonks in the Lexicon. Do we know it, or can I safely come up with a date?

Brett Bumgarner's UNC Honors Thesis on the uses and gratifications of Facebook is now published on/at/by First Monday (Volume 12 Number 11 – 5 November 2007). This is a groundbreaking study with a very high N:
You have been poked: Exploring the uses and gratifications of Facebook among emerging adults
by Brett A. Bumgarner
The social networking site Facebook has become an inescapable phenomenon for college students, but little systematic research has studied why these students use Facebook. I conducted an online survey among Facebook users at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (N = 1,049) to examine why they use Facebook and how it fulfills their needs. The most prevalent use of Facebook was as a social activity – students reported using Facebook with friends to view and discuss other people's profiles. Essentially, Facebook appears to operate primarily as a tool for the facilitation of gossip.
Note: Fred and I were Brett's advisors. Jane Brown was the lead advisor and a great one.

Im typing out what ever random thought process I have, so, bear with me.
About me: Im a talker who loves being home schooled, her 1930s house (its the style of house, not the way its decorated), family, friends and her faith. Im Italian and Irish, which means my familys pretty loud. On my dads side of the family I have 9 cousins, it seems like more mostly because 2 of them are over 6 foot and 1 is 6 foot. All the Irish and Italian comes from my dads side and Im a mix of a lot of other things on my moms side. On my moms side of the family I have 7 cousins and one cousin by marriage, but my moms the youngest of her sisters and brother by 12 years, so, yeah.
My random loves are: Pandas, kitties (especially my kitty, Ella Rose), playing piano, reading, writing, ballroom dancing, swimming, and my quilt (I made it my self).
My reading loves are: Harry Potter (of course), the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, books by Andrew Clements (I dont think any of them are actually in a series), the first 3 Narnia books (The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader), Fair Weather (its not one of those books you think youd read again, but you do), The Scarlet Pimpernel which ROCKS (even though I kind of guessed the ending), the Skulduggery Pleasant series, and I'm reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
My music loves: As I said I play the piano and my favorite piece to play is definitely Dawn from the 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice, and I'm learning Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked right now. My favorite individual tracks to listen to are: On and On, Drops of Jupiter, Thats How You Know, Rocket Man, Free Falling, Vincent and I also like The Call, but you cant buy it with out buying the sound track from Price Caspian. In musicals I like The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Jesus Christ Super Star, Hello, Dolly!, My Fair Lady, West Side Story and the song 'On My Own' from the musical Les Miserables.
My favorite movies are: Pride and Prejudice, Nancy Drew, Sense and Sensibility, The Importance of Being Ernest, The Princess Bride, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (I may not like Orlando Bloom, but hey, theres still Geoffrey Rush!).
My 2 favorite actors are: Alan Rickman and Geoffrey Rush, both of who ARE AMAZING!!!
The latest thing I did that hurt: if you dont count the burn I got on my arm (it did hurt, but I have a story to tell), was falling over in to a rose bush wearing a blind fold. I did not fall over on purpose, we were playing a game and, yes, I did put the blind fold on my self. It hurt and for a few days my leg looked like some thing out of a horror movie, but its all better now, no scars or any thing, even though I never put the cream on that I was supposed to.
I DONT like most famous people that the rest of the world likes, in fact I pretty much set my self against them, e.g. the Jones Brothers, Orlando Bloom (maybe the Jones Brothers are just a tween girl thing, but theyre sort of on my hate/dis-like list, theyre faces bother me).
I have written a fanfic but its kind of odd, so Im still debating if I should try to submit it.
Any who, I'm REALLY, REALLY random, some times I like to say 'meow!', and I like quotes. Even though you are probably really, really tired of me, because every thing I write ends up to be long, I have just one more thing to say (and then I promise I'm done):
That's kind of catchy...

PoliceOne gets air support
A parachute hangs from the torch of the Statue of Liberty Aug. 23, 2001, as a police helicopter hovers over the New York landmark. Using a motor-driven parachute to glide above New York Harbor, Frenchman Thierry Devaux was arrested when he became snagged on the statue's upraised torch and had to be rescued by police. (AP Photo/Chad Rachman)
Despite high fuel prices, law enforcement agencies across the United States continue to task their aviation units with missions as varied as drug interdiction, suspect pursuit, and counterterrorism surveillance. As you can read here, Westchester County Police Officer Michael Susi recently told his local newspaper that "Police helicopters can cover an area in an hour that it would take 12 police cars to cover."
In that same article, we learn that just this year, Westchester County has used their helicopters to assist 141 operations and has responded to 187 calls from other jurisdictions, assisting in efforts such as fighting summer wildfires to providing a spotlight to aid in the rescue of stranded boaters on the Hudson River.
Just a year ago in another article posted on PoliceOne, Paul Apolinar, a helicopter pilot with the Phoenix Police Department said, "We're able to get overhead ahead of the patrol officers and increase our chances of apprehending the bad guy." The take-away from that article is that Police helicopters are increasingly becoming commonplace.
PoliceOne continues to enhance our editorial coverage and capabilities to match what's happening out there on the streets (and in this case, in the air) so we're proud to introduce Aviation Columnist Ken Solosky as the newest addition to our roster of writers. Formerly the Chief Pilot for the NYPD Aviation Unit, Ken is now Chief Pilot for the Newark (N.J.) Police Department and is the founder, president, and lead instructor for Code Red Training. Ken will be writing about – among other things – how airborne and patrol officers can best work together.
In addition to Ken's bimonthly columns and tips, PoliceOne editors will be doing our own firsthand reporting on the activities of airborne units and how they can best work with terrestrial law enforcement officers to stop the bad guys.
In the meantime, we want to hear from patrol officers about how have you've worked with air support on patrol. Does your department have an airborne unit? Does your agency work with a unit from a neighboring community, city, state, etc? What are some of the things you've learned and can teach to fellow officers.
For Chiefs and administrators, a question to you: if you could get the aircraft for free through the federal surplus program, would you take steps to add airborne capabilities?
Please take a moment to let us know what you think by sending email to me or by posting your comments below.

If you were a player wouldn't you?
If they are, I'm betting Mr. Casey and Mr. Griffey are regular lurkers now!
Hey Case and Jr....If you're here..Are you having fun out there yet? AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
If you were a player wouldn't you?
If they are, I'm betting Mr. Casey and Mr. Griffey are regular lurkers now!
Hey Case and Jr....If you're here..Are you having fun out there yet? AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Doubtful...They might have been here once or twice but im guessing some posters have made them stay away.
I could be wrong.
I have no personal knowledge of this at all, but my guess would be that more player read message boards than you would think.
1. Lots of time. These guys have a ton of time to kill, and the internet is available almost everywhere you go. I bet some guys stop by regularly, probably mostly out of boredom.
2. Tempting. Whenever I've had some writing published, I'm DYING to read what people have to say about it. Sometimes, what they have to say isn't all that nice. But it's so tempting to look anyway. We basically function as critics for the players. I'm sure they take what we have to say as gospel, and they may very well think a lot of us are fools, but I think it's human nature to seek out critique's of your performance.
3. Funny. I bet some players surf the net with their teammates just to joke around. Find more reasons to poke fun at one another, etc....
Maybe some guys have had their feelings hurt or generally try to avoid places like this, but overall, I'd guess there is a high percentage of athletes who at least drop by from time to time.
Thanks guys. I really enjoy reading these posts before I go to the park!
Who's on first?
I just wish this site existed back in 1988, when I went 23-8 and would have won the Cy Young any other year. Blast that infernal choirboy Orel!!!!!!!
Casey and Graves were interviewed by Jim Day on Real Reds back in April ("Good or Bad?" segment) When JD asked them about "internet chat rooms?" Sean and Danny were not very complimentary about "low-lifes" like us
(that doesn't mean that they're NOT lurking, though)
Never overlook the obvious
I think people are too defensive. Generally internet chat rooms have not been viewed in a positive light, with sex offenders and what not, true "low lifes." As much as some hate Danny Graves I doubt he would consider the posters of a Reds message board to be "low lifes." Just my two cents though.Originally Posted by gm
As for the original question, I see the younger lesser known players reading more than a Griffey or a Larkin.
Where you be Tim Hummel? :mhcky21:
I agree that Graves and Casey were probably talking about the stereotypical chatroom pervs, not bulletin board users. Try telling a number of coworkers you use a chatroom regularly and you get funny looks from some. Lots of people have that perception and if you're over 35 its even worse since far fewer of us "old" folks are as technologically involved.
They may look once in a while. If I were a player I might check once but I'd probably never return. Why? Because far too many posters call players "human garbage" , "worthless scum", and other personal attacks that have nothing whatsoever to do with their playing abilities. Would you want to read that stuff about a friend and teammate, even if they were hitting .167?That's very different than saying a player is struggling or can't learn to hit a curve or will have little value ever if he can't learn to mix his pitches in the strike zone.
Also many judgements are pronounced here based a single game. In fact its a joke with many on the game threads - hey, he's only hitting .389 now, lets trade him!
At least that's how things seem to a long time lurker like myself who just started posting.
[ thug ]
[ life ]
Hummel's steet name is "Vanilla Thunder."
But back to the topic...
I think a lot of players lurk on bulletin boards, but very few of them post. Carlos Beltran posted on the Royals board on mlb.com over the winter. Few people believed it was him until Peter Gammons mentioned that Carlos told him he actually did post there.
I think it's human nature to want to know what people are saying about you. I also think the players don't really want to get involved in the discussion.
The real question is, does Nick Lachey post here? And if so, can we get him to wear a RedsZone t-shirt on an episode of "Newlyweds"? :GAC:
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
I think we will find out for sure when Hummel starts getting called by his new nickname because that is just too funny to let go, even if it did come from here.
Curt Schilling is known for posting on his team's message boards, starting when he was with the Phillies.
yo yo T to the I to the M to the Hizummle represent
thug life yo
Actually, I bet more than half of the players check out these places. Of those, I bet half do with regularity.
Look at it this way, if you were a public figure, wouldn't you be curious about what is said? I know I would, perhaps it's vanity or egotism at work but I would nonetheless.

text: Submitted by chris_hunt on Mon, 2014-02-10 13:22 Conservation Vote Up Down +127 + Hornby Hollow well below zero january 2014.jpeg By Duke Welter While the weather in the Upper Midwest this winter has been marked by repeated stints of below-zero temperatures, that doesn't mean TU activity in the Driftless Area has been hibernating. If you attended the Driftless Symposium last week in La Crosse, you could have been overwhelmed by the range of information presented by scientists and habitat specialists. Presentations to over 160 attendees included reports on geologic research, riparian restoration methods and biology. Gill lice are "dramatically" increasing in brook trout in Wisconsin Driftless streams, according to Wisconsin DNR coldwater scientist Matthew Mitro. In Ash Creek in Richland County, gill lice presence more than doubled from 2012 to 2013, he said. What's the impact of this little pest? Mitro says there's evidence to suggest that brook trout populations decrease following gill lice infestations, and competing brown trout populations increase in those streams. Simposium.jpeg Climate change predictions suggest that brook trout will be seen less in Wisconsin in the next half-century, said WDNR's Paul Cunningham, a coldwater ecologist. Under current management, he said, some models suggested a loss of 75% of brook trout in the region, "a sobering thought". "It's a crisis we need to talk about and decide what management approach to adopt." What is to be done? He suggested focusing on streams better buffered against climate change impacts, accepting that brown trout would likely do better in many other streams where brookies now reside, and use restoration techniques that give streams more resilience against temperature changes, dramatic rainfall events and drought . Many such techniques have been suggested and are being debated, and DARE restoration projects work to incorporate experiments that may provide answers in the long term. Scientists are working hard to understand the geology of the Driftless Area and learn more about its underground rivers, caves, sinkholes and "losing", or disappearing, streams. They're developing more knowledge of its soil types and bedrock, and use sophisticated land mapping techniques to locate features hidden by vegetation. They use this knowledge to better understand how Driftless waters—whether in your well or the trout stream or spring out back-- are vulnerable to a variety of human-caused insults: leaky landfills, ag runoff, water withdrawals, etc. Planning has already begun for the 2015 Driftless Symposium, which will again take place at the LaCrosse Radisson Inn and Convention Center, February 3 and 4.

The training, which will be held at the Wildlife Federation building in Dardanelle and will begin at 9 a.m., is required for farmers to earn their applicator's license, which federal law dictates they must have to use restricted use pesticides.
"Some may already have [the license] but they just need it renewed," Jack Clark said. "But they will know if they already have the license."
While Clark said that the training is a formality for many people who already know how to apply pesticides, the safety training provides the more important elements of the training.
"I will go over details about application and safety," he said. "Safety is a big part of it. More of this is about safety and environmental protection than it is about how to use a pesticide."
The cost for the training costs $10 per person, and there is no need to sign up in advance. For questions, call the Extension Office at (479) 495-2216 or (479) 229-4441. Another training will be held at the USDA Service Center in Danville on Feb. 1 at 6:30 p.m.

The numbers are startling. In a 2010 playoff loss, Park Hill High School surrendered 400 yards rushing on 45 carries to Staley. In the two rivals' first matchup of the year, the Trojans allowed 241 yards on 34 carries. How'd that happen? Staley didn't run at defensive tackle Ondre Pipkins ...
"That's not where we got our 400 yards," Staley coach Fred Bouchard said. "We made most of our yards on the perimeter. We had two very good backs, one that is committed to Missouri for next year [three-star Morgan Steward] and another that is playing Division II this year [Evan Campbell], and we had a very good offensive line, a center that battled hard and got a lot of help from our guards."
Pipkins, all 6-3, 325 pounds of him, was a force in the contest, playing exclusively on defense for the first time all year after logging more than 100 snaps per game as both an offensive and defensive tackle.
"We don't rush for 400 yards or anywhere close to that if we run at him," said Bouchard, whose team prevailed 28-6 on three fourth-quarter touchdowns.
"That kid has great explosion and punch off the ball. When he's tuned into the flow of the game, it's impressive the plays he makes. He'll chase players from gap to gap. He had a nice play on Evan - here's this 300-pounder chasing down a 160-pound running back, diving for him, getting him by the back of his jersey and throwing him to the ground.
"There are times where he chooses to go, go go and he's pretty destructive in the middle of the field. Almost unblockable, even with two or three kids. I can understand why everybody in the country is so enamored with him."
The four-star out of Kansas City, ranked the No. 246 player in the country, picked Michigan over Ohio State and Missouri on Monday.
He has an entire high school year to improve himself and he's already made gains this summer.
"One of the things I hear about Ondre from my own kids that see him at all these combines is that his effort and consistency keeps getting better and better," Bouchard said. "The bar he's capable of meeting keeps getting set higher and higher.
"The other thing I hear from them and what I've heard from [Park Hill coach] Greg Reynolds too is that he's a great kid, friendly, positive, upbeat. He's the kind of kid that makes for a good teammate and if Coach Reynolds is saying that, you can take it to the bank because he's honest. And he thinks the world of the him."
Pipkins' family home rests just two miles from the Staley border, and Bouchard laughs thinking about what could have been.
"I wish their car would have run out of gas," he joked.
"He's a kid, from what I've heard, that you'd love to coach, and to play against ... well my kids keeping tell me, 'He's gotten better coach,' and that's not good news for us."

"If you want to see—and hear—The Hitchcock 9, you'll have to do it in a theater."—NPR
Throughout the month of October, the Wexner Center for the Arts will present nine rarely seen films from the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. Made from 1925 to 1929, Hitchcock's first ten films—nine of which survive—are among the greatest achievements of British silent cinema and can also be seen as blueprints for the rest of Hitch's body of work, containing many of the motifs and obsessions we have come to recognize as "Hitchcockian," including The Lodger (1926), which the director named his first "true Hitchcock picture."
The British Film Institute's restoration of The Hitchcock 9 is the largest restoration project the BFI has ever undertaken and was made possible with the help of new digital technology. Now, for the first time, these films are traveling to venues around the world, including the Wexner Center. "Though the nine surviving Hitchcock silent films have long been accessible in variously compromised forms (a 10th silent feature, The Mountain Eagle from 1926, is missing and presumed lost), they are being shown here in versions as definitive as modern technology and curatorial know-how can make them," says the New York Times.
Says Film/Video Director David Filipi, "Hitchcock's genius was recognized by audiences early in his career, but until recently, these oldest works of his had only been accessible in a form that was often incomplete and badly damaged. This tour represents a major effort by the BFI to provide the audiences of today with these films as Hitchcock originally envisioned them. They include elements of what would become his signature style—later evidenced in classics like Vertigo or Psycho—as well as a glimpse into his early work in different genres, such as romance, comedy, and sports."
The screenings in the Wexner Center Film/Video Theater, 1871 N. High St., kick off with Blackmail on Thursday, October 10. Most screenings include live musical accompaniment by one of three Columbus musicians: Derek DiCenzo, Sue Harshe, or Larry Marotta. Tickets are $8 for the general public; $6 for members, students, and senior citizens.

Rooftop plants help put courthouse atop feds' list
Updated 4:21 pm, Tuesday, August 19, 2014
On the third floor of the Hipolito F. Garcia Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, a door leads from a beige-painted hallway to a lush meadow.
Inside the building, at Houston and Alamo streets, bureaucrats, lawyers and the public shuffle between U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the post office and various federal agencies.
In the meadow, planted on the roof, butterflies and bees flutter and buzz between tufts of dark-green buffalo grass and purple heart.
The green roof is the centerpiece of a $56 million renovation of the 75-year-old building, the "greenest" owned by the U.S. General Services Administration. It is the first GSA building to earn platinum certification — the highest — in its category from the U.S. Green Building Council under its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system.
The mixture of native and adaptive grasses and sedum proved that plants can grow on a roof in the middle of San Antonio. At 13,000 square feet, it is the largest green roof in the city.
The plants, rooted in 6 inches of engineered soil, help keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter, protect the roof from the sun's harmful ultraviolet light and use the condensate from the air-conditioning units.

That roof, along with the windows that deflect heat, lights that automatically turn off in vacant rooms and dim in rooms lit by windows, solar panels on the roof and more than a dozen other features, made the building 40 percent more energy-efficient than it was.
Few people get excited about the windows, but the roof has attracted attention.
"They all want to have lunch out here," said Pat Ortiz, who manages the building.
But her answer to the office workers is no. The roof does not meet accessibility requirements, so there is a metal bar across the door leading to it. Even the maintenance staff is on the roof only for a couple hours every other week.
The meadow is far better than what the office workers used to see.
"Before, it looked like an industrial nightmare," said Bret Smith, GSA's project manager for the renovation.
The roof was black and crisscrossed with utility lines and air-conditioning units.
It was also a heat trap.
More Information
Green features
Other green features of the Hipolito F. Garcia Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse:
• Refueling stations for electric cars
• Covered bike racks and locker rooms with showers
• Rooftop solar water heaters and solar panels
• Collection and use of air-conditioning condensate and groundwater from below the building
• Low-flow water fixtures
• Self-adjusting lights
• Interior storm windows that block solar heat but not light
• 50 percent of construction waste was recycled
• More efficient heating and cooling systems
Plant features
Some of the plants on the building's roof:
• Tradescantia pallida "purple heart" — adaptive
• Sedum Spurium "John Creech" — adaptive
• Lenophyllum Texanum — native
• Sedum Kamtschaticum — adaptive
• Sedum sexangular — adaptive
• Delospermum sp. "ice plant" — adaptive
• Sempevirens sp. "hens and chicks" — adaptive
• Acorus
• Buchloe Dactyloides Var. 609 "Buffalo Grass" — native
The courthouse is a lopsided hexagon that surrounds a large light well that stops at the roof of the second floor.
When the six-story building was opened in 1937, artificial lighting and air conditioning were rare, Smith said, and the light well allowed air to circulate and light to reach the lower floors.
As the sun heated the black roof at the bottom of the light well, the energy would transfer into the building via the surrounding windows on the upper four stories.
Now, when the sun beats down, it hits plants, and the heat can't transfer to the building as quickly, especially when the plants get their mid-day watering with the condensate collected from the air-conditioning system.
In Texas, green roofs are slowly gaining traction, according to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which is doing research about them.
The blocked door at the courthouse might just be the beginning.
Correction: The green roof on the Hipolito F. Garcia Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse is 13,000 square feet. The size was inaccurate in a story on Monday's page A1 and on mySA.com.

My buddies system has crapped out and he can't spend more than say $250 bucks. He has a single video card and I was suggestion that I purchase the above board and 8gbs of ram (ddr3-1600) for $50, the motherboard for $60, and a new power supply for $54 and a new case Corsair 300r at $85. The idea is that the Corsair 300r can be used in a build 2 years or so down the road if he feels the need to upgrade, and the ram 2 x 4gb DDR3 could also be used in a system upgrade instead of buying a 775 chipset that takes DDR2 which is actually much more expensive (64 bucks for 4gbs 1gbx4)
Leaving me right at $249 . We will got a slight bit over as we are going to be shipping the entire system back down to him.
The only issue is that his CPU isn't on the support list, its like they skipped over it E6600 at 2.4ghz. If it can be used then great, if not I was thinking of scrapping a Q6600 (that is on the support list) from a Dell that I've got sitting here doing nothing and just swapping them. Anyone have experience with the above system or know whether or not it will take the E6600?

A U.S. man who became internationally famous for bearing three children after switching from his previous female identity says he and his wife have separated.
Thomas Beatie appeared on the syndicated television show "The Doctors," where he announced both that he has completed gender reassignment surgery, presumably making him incapable of child bearing, and has split from the woman he has been married to for nine years, People magazine reported.
"Nancy hasn't seen the new me yet," Beatie said. "Like all marriages, we have our ups and downs, and we're going through a rough patch right now. At the moment, we're separated."
Beatie, 38, became pregnant in 2007. His picture, showing someone who looked like a man, complete with beard, visibly pregnant, was shown across the globe. He had a total of three children.
He is believed to have been the first legal man to become a mother.
Nancy, 49, a mother of two children from a previous relationship, had had a hysterectomy.
The couple had been living in Bend, Ore., before the breakup, the New York Daily News said. (c) UPI

Celiac And Now Ms. :(
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchMissy - I was 34 with my first bout with optic neuritis (now 43). I'm not sure I really missed anything in the 9 years as I don't have any significant symptoms and sure hope it stays that way as I hear some are symptom free for very long stretches. The things the neurologist asked was any feeling of pins and needles, lack of balance/coordination, any bladder control issues. I guess I do occasionally have the pins and needles in my feet but it's certainly not noteworthy and I've never noted any big issues with balance/coordination other than normal clumsiness. I assume you had an MRI when you had optic neuritis? I wouldn't stress about it as I'm pretty darn convinced that stress is a huge trigger in auto-immune diseases and both episodes of optic neuritis were following stressful time periods for me. Did your vision return after the optic neuritis? My left eye was impacted the 1st time and it took several months but went back to normal. My right eye was impacted this time and it's still not 100% back but holding out hope that it will improve more over time.
Celiac And Now Ms. :(
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchI like the Neurologist ok but have had limited experience with him so I guess you could say the jury is out. I got the impression that he didn't go into a great detail as an appointment with such a diagnosis is obviously overwhelming - what I know is that 8 years ago I didn't have spots and now I do although he said "a couple" so I didn't light up like a Xmas tree which is the way someone once described it to me. I am starting medication because I want to feel like I have some control and know the current treatments have come a long way in preventing flare ups. I'll go for a follow-up in a few weeks once I start so I'll have a chance to ask a lot of questions then. My insurance (through husband's work) is with a major teaching hospital about an hour away with an MS center and I'm strongly considering making an appointment. It's actually advantageous financially to see docs within the hospital system with a much lower co-pay but I tend to go local for the convenience factor. My Vitamin D was in the normal range on my last celiac lab but do plan to watch it and use it as an excuse to spend as much time in the sun as Spring has finally sprung. I have read bits and pieces about celiac mimicking MS however I was on a rather strict gluten-free diet for 3 years before this episode (minus one oops with butterscotch chips back in December). It makes me skeptical that I can blame this on the celiac unfortunately as much as I would like to. I'm also trying to modify my diet to include more anti-inflammatory foods. Open to other ideas if anyone has them. Appreciate the supportive words!
Celiac And Now Ms. :(
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchI was diagnosed with celiac just over 3 years ago at age 40 but had mild symptoms for years that I brushed off. Symptoms finally intensified and I got tired of bring told I had reflux, a bad gall bladder, hormone fluctuations and asked to be tested for celiac. So darn frustrated to have yet another condition to deal with.
Celiac And Now Ms. :(
Christine0125 posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchAnyone else have both? I had my 2nd bout with optic neuritis in late February (ophthalmologist first though uveitis). 1st was 9 years ago and at that time MRI was clear. No other MS like symptoms but MRI showed a couple inflammatory spots enough for the neurologist to diagnose. Hoping that along with the gluten-free diet (which it sounds like many MSers are trying) and medication I'll be able to prevent and/or slow any further advancement.
Home Ec/ Cooking Class With Middle Schoolers - Any Ideas?
Christine0125 replied to kb27's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseMy celiac daughter goes to middle school next year. She does have a 504 but I need to schedule a meeting with the school and determine how to handle as she has some kind of "life skills" class that includes cooking. Following this topic... great ideas.
Which Vitamins/supplements/etc Do You Give To Your Child?
Christine0125 replied to CeliacMommaX2's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseGummy multi-vitamin and gummy probiotic. Her labs were perfect when last checked with this combination.
Do Eye Problems Go Along With Celiac?
Christine0125 replied to JulesH's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchI just had optic neuritis in Feb/Mar which causes severe blurriness - this was my 2nd time (1st time was pre-celiac diagnosis). At first the ophthalmologist indicated it was uveitis which can also cause blurriness but when it didn't improve with drops, diagnosed it as optic neuritis. I'm not sure if it's my celiac or something else autoimmune going on with me. I get the MRI and neurology follow up in the next couple weeks. I had no signs of MS when tested in the past but they need to go through all the tests again to rule that out. I wish there was a specific doctor that specialized in auto-immune conditions as a whole as I feel like if the MRI doesn't show MS, the neurologist will dismiss it as a fluke. Would love to figure out what's causing my ongoing inflammation.
Multiple Food Intolerances - Do They Ever Go Away?
Christine0125 replied to jrlaird's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesGreat info - thanks! I take Culturelle daily. Have you found taking it at night more effective? Do you have a brand of digestive enzymes you recommend? I think I may need to add that to my regimen.
Multiple Food Intolerances - Do They Ever Go Away?
Christine0125 replied to jrlaird's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesAny tricks you have for how you narrowed down your intolerances? I'm so bad at keeping a food log. I was diagnosed over 3 years ago and feeling pretty good until recently (with some ups and downs). Now I'm dealing with bloating a few times a week. My doc suggested trying the low fodmap diet but I notice that a lot of the items that many with celiac are intolerant to are considered good to eat on that particular diet. I did a round of xifaxan to rule out bacterial overgrowth and take culturelle daily.
Issues With Eyes, Sensitivity To Light
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchYep - I have online lab results. Like I said, mine have always been normal to high. Last labs showed B12 981 pg/mL range 211-946. Since it was marked as high, I stopped taking the supplement. Trying to be patient - no change yet (but it's only been 24 hours) with the drops.
Bad Constipation; Wheat Bran Only Thing That Helps?
Christine0125 replied to frustratedpenguin's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithMiralax has helped my daughter . Probiotics seem to help me with regularity. So sorry to hear she's suffering so bad and unable to get the necessary tests. What about good old fashioned prune juice?
Issues With Eyes, Sensitivity To Light
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchThanks for the link. I had been taking B12 supplements when first diagnosed but my last couple labs showed my levels in the high range and had stopped thinking that I was getting plenty in diet alone. I think I'll start that back up with the history of eye issues I've had.
Issues With Eyes, Sensitivity To Light
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchQuick update for those following the topic. I just got back from the ophthalmologist and he doesn't think it's optic neuritis this time. He does see a lot of inflammation in my right eye and diagnosed it as uveitis. He says it's common to have uveitis with various inflammatory bowel disorders. I have steroid eye drops that he expects to work pretty quickly. Just got over a stomach bug or a glutening 2 weeks ago so it seems plausible that this is the cause this time. Feeling relieved that this will do the trick. Optic neuritis was treated with 3 days of IV steroids and multiple brain MRIs and I was dreading having to go through that again.
Issues With Eyes, Sensitivity To Light
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchWill do! Can you give me a quick list of the foods that you've found to be inflammatory? Up until recently, as long as it was gluten free, I was feeling great! I'm sure coffee is at the top of the list but I'm not yet ready to give that up. EEK!
Issues With Eyes, Sensitivity To Light
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchThanks - I hope others chime in as well. Computer screens and bright neon lights (such as grocery stores) are bad. My eyes adjust and feel normal with more dim/natural light or when I'm wearing sunglasses. I did make an eye appointment for this week (I was overdue anyhow). I also happen to have a celiac followup with the GI next week. I've been having more celiac like digestive issues in recent weeks as well so I think overall inflammation is likely the cause here - very frustrating as I'm strictly gluten free. I'm cutting out milk in hopes that helps. Last time my eyes did get better overtime so I'm hopeful for the same thing this time but it's challenging working at a computer all day right now. I'd like to avoid an appointment with the neurologist if possible - they seem to only want to link optic neuritis with MS but as of last MRI I had no signs of that.

just got mine,thanks love them
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Been having fun playing!
Thank you ladies for such lovely blocks to play with. Haven't started playing with the strips yet, but they are very pretty.
And an extra big THANK YOU to tracing for hosting!!! You certainly deserve a rest. Between travel, moving and hosting I'm sure you're exhausted.
Think I'm going to follow Cindi's example and make two smaller quilts as well. One primarily aquas and purples and the other more earth tones. Probably will add a couple blocks to each and make them 4 blocks x 5 blocks. Might put some of those strips to good use on that.
Better go take pictures of my preview layouts so I can remember initial plan - always subject to change a couple gazillion times. Lol!
Got mine today but haven't been able to go through them yet. I'm sure they are beautiful and I want to thank all of you right now for doing the swap and making blocks for all of us to share. Had doctors appts. this morning, had to do tomatoes, zucchini and green peppers this afternoon and just finished dinner. It looks like I may be headed to some serious back surgery so am trying to stay caught up on the garden stuff or it will be gone and nothing saved. Will certainly go through them tomorrow and try to start planning my quilt or quilts. Thank you all again.

Just went through them today! Thank you all!!
Nicely done!!!
Batik Swap - Feb 2013 http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums17908.html
Very, very, nice. I really like the quilt. Very pretty!
Looking good!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
That came out great!
I'm going to make mine into two separate lap quilts by adding a couple blocks to each color combo. Don't really need a big one, but plenty of uses for smaller ones, plus I can complete them myself - eventually.
