Indications for blood/platelet transfusion as recommended in clinical practice guidelines are:
In cases with significant clinical bleeding, which require blood transfusion. Usually bleeding is > 10% of total blood volume (> 6-8 ml/kg of ideal body weight)
In adults with underlying hypertension or coronary heart diseases and platelet 1.3-1.5, which is the result of liver failure: Major contributing factor for massive bleeding.
There is no evidence to support the use of blood components such as platelet concentrates, fresh frozen plasma or cryoprecipitate. Its use could contribute to fluid overload.
Important instructions for treatment of DHF as per WHO/SEARO guidelines:
If the patientâs condition becomes worse despite giving 20ml/kg/hr crystalloid solution for one hour, replace crystalloid solution with colloid solution such as Dextran or Plasma. As soon as improvement occurs, replace with crystalloid.
In case of severe bleeding; give blood transfusion @ 20ml/kg for two hours. Then give crystalloid IV fluids @ 10 ml/kg/hr for a short time (30 - 60 minutes) and later reduce the speed.
If hematocrit falls, give blood transfusion 10 ml/kg and then give crystalloid IV fluids at the rate of 10 ml/kg/hr. The volume of blood administered should be just enough to raise the red blood cell concentration to normal.

Modesto officers shoot, kill
suspect wielding realistic-looking cap gun
[Modesto, CA]
(MODESTO, Calif.) -- A man with a history of violent crime against police was fatally shot by officers in what authorities believe to be a "suicide by cop."
William Hull, 55, was shot and killed on Dec. 8 by two officers after he charged at them with what turned out to be a cap gun in this hand, Detective Ron Cloward told the Modesto Bee.
"The gun had a cylinder on it and the (barrel) looked like the real thing. It was very realistic," Cloward told the Bee. The detective was summoned to the scene shortly after the 11:30 p.m. shooting. "He emerged from his house and charged at the officers, with the gun in his hand."
Early accounts of the incident indicated that Hull had the cap gun tucked into the waistband of his pants with his hand on the toy.
Hull summoned police to his home about 11 p.m. by calling 911 and saying he was "ready to die and to send someone to come get him," Cloward told the Bee.
Dispatchers told the officers responding to the scene about Hull's suicidal call, and about his 1979 conviction for assault on a police officer.
No further details were available on the 1979 incident.
When officers first arrived at Hull's house he was on the front porch with the gun in his waistband, authorities said.
He went in and out of his house as he screamed profanities at police when they attempted to talk to him.
Eventually, Hull charged out of the house at police, ignoring repeated commands that he stop and drop his weapon, the Modesto Bee reported.
Police said that they did not know how many shots were fired.
"It's a very difficult situation, and we always look for alternatives," Cloward told the newspaper. "I think the officers reacted in a professional fashion. They were protecting themselves, their fellow officers and the citizens."

An art student works with clay at TB9 on UC Davis
The MFA Art Studios are for Master of Fine Art students in the Studio Art Program. There are several studios within the building and another 4 located in TB9. These studios are essentially a workspace for MFA art students.
The studios are opposite the of Art Building across Parking Lot 6. There is a short driveway which leads to the door (see photo).
Do not be tempted to park in the driveway, you will get a ticket. The studios are in use nearly 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You may, however, circle for hours and hours if you need to in order to pick somebody up.

22 May 2007
but it's SPIDERMAN
slowly, he approached the group. brimming with confidence, spiderman doll in hand. four little girls, just a year or two older than him, stood in a secret place just beneath the yellow slide. surely, spiderman would be enough to get his foot in the door. he held the doll up high for the whole group to see. he held it casually, as if this act were but a mere formality, a secret sort of offering that would surely guarantee immediate acceptance. instead, his gesture was met with nothing but blank stares.
their lack of interest was terribly disconcerting to him, I could see that. but he was not so easily detoured. he approached the oldest, tallest girl (clearly the leader) and held spiderman about two inches from her face. still, nothing. she looked to me for some sort of explanation, some way out but I did nothing but smile. she looked back at ezra with an expression that said yeah I don't know what to do with you and this doll you keep holding up. his back was to me but I could see he was losing confidence. he began to gesture wildy, emphatically. but it's spiderman, he seemed to be saying. spiderman. can you not see that? it's SPIDERMAN. still, nothing. nothing.
offically stumped by the rejection, he walked away. his little shoulders slumped in the saddest way and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. he continued on with the business of playing, dodging swings and climbing ladders but his heart was not in it. he was still trying to wrap his brain around the whole thing when the day took a miraculous turn. there, on the opposite edge of the playground, dangling precariously from the rings, was batman. well, close enough-- a three year-old wearing a batman swimming mask. their eyes met and I swear I heard the swelling of superhero music in the background. ezra took off running and that was that.
never have batman and spiderman been so happy to see each other. never have the two combined forces so effortlessly. I assure you, powers were used for good that day, girls were promptly forgotten. the delicate balance of the playground dynamic, rightfully restored.

Chicago Bulls Vs Philadelphia 76ers. Bulls No. 12 Kirk Hinrich is fouled by Philadelphia 76ers No.18 Maalik Wayns. Saturday December 1, 2012 I Scott Stewart~Sun-Times
Nothing gives Tom Thibodeau more ammunition than the past, and the Bulls coach came to Tuesday's practice locked and loaded. While he acknowledged his team has played well on defense recently, he was quick to remind his players that there is still room for improvement. …

Nine billion of us are estimated to be on the planet by 2050, and the demand for food will increase by 70 percent above today's levels. If land and fresh water are already under strain, how in the world are we going to feed a population that grows by 220,000 mouths every day? Well, the ocean conservation measures you champion as an Oceana supporter can, believe it or not, help make a huge difference. You can find out how in my new book, The Perfect Protein, which can be pre-ordered now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Indiebound.
Did you know that the world's oceans have the power to feed millions of hungry people? It's true, but only if we make sure that we're using them sustainably.
Our CEO Andy Sharpless spoke about this at the Ideacity conference in Toronto on June 15th. The three-day conference brought together artists, activists, scientists and more in "Canada's Premier Meeting of the Minds."
Here's a video of his presentation, where he emphasizes the importance of national action and responsible management in ensuring that we don't deplete wild fish populations. Seafood offers many benefits—it's healthier than red meat, doesn't take up land or produce greenhouse gases, and creates jobs in major fishing countries.

Coming from MDT (Yes I still use MDT daily) I'm having a hard time finding a Inventor equivalent for some things that made MDT really fast. I'll start with part tags in layouts. In MDT I was able to set up multiple different tag templates to tag a part in a layout. In inventor it seems you have to custom make it every time you do a leader off a part you have to select all the properties you want to add but don't see a way to save it once you have it set up. Am I missing something?
It sounds as if you are trying to create a drawing with balloons or leader text that give information about the part to which they are pointing? I've never used MDT, so I'm not familiar with the terminology, but that's what I'm getting from your posting.
If so, I think Sketch Symbols might be what you're looking for. You will probably get the best help from this forum by posting the data set (drawing, assembly & parts) here and tell/show us what you're trying to do. I'll bet someone else has already worked it out.
Yes, I think that is a good start to what I'm looking for. Will play with that and post back if I have issues. Attached is a screen shot of the MDT tag dialog for ref.
I noticed there is no way to control where the connector is and it seems to always connect to the center of the text.
Was able to move the connection point but now I can't find any of the parameters I need to get the symbol tag to show the correct data. I'm looking for Part Qty, Length or G_L in ft and inches and Part Number.
Ok, after playing for hrs and trying to make this work for me, it looks like Sketch Symbols was an attempt in the right direction but falls short in usability and features.
Any other options out there that I may be missing?
Can you post a data set (parts, assembly, drawing)? Using text label, you would be able to include iProperties and parameters in the label, but that's a manual job each time you place one.
Adding all the parameters every time seems like a very time consuming thing. If copying and pasting the formula would work, I could use that but the formula is lost when you paste. I can't believe this has never been added to Inventor, especially with so many people coming from MDT that use to use these. This is one of many big time savers that made MDT so fast and is why I'm still using it. I don't have any data sets I can send you. This just an observation from trying to setup a template in Inventor with what I will need to create a drawing.

The troops in Iraq aren't the only ones dropping bombs. Celebrities on both sides of the war debate are duking it out, adding personal insults to the hot button polemic. Here's a breakdown of who's feuding and why -- plus, some suggestions about how these stars can make peace, not war.
WHO James Woods vs. Michael Moore
HOW IT STARTED Moore received both applause and boos for using his Oscar acceptance speech as a political platform, remarking, ''We are against this war, Mr. Bush, shame on you!''
HOW IT ENDED On ''The Tonight Show,'' Woods told host Jay Leno he saw Moore as a ''fraud'' and ''chickens---'' who played the role of liberal provocateur for profit. He condemned the Oscar speech as untimely and inappropriate.
PEACE PLEA Forget about making up: Turn on a video camera, let these two debate until they're out of breath, and enjoy!
WHO Chris Rock vs. Matt Drudge
HOW IT STARTED Internet reporter Drudge claimed DreamWorks executives had urged their ''Head of State'' star not to make negative comments about Bush or the war in Iraq while promoting the comedy. Rock once joked of Bush, ''He's not stupid, he's just drunk.''
HOW IT ENDED In a statement, Rock teased, ''No one from DreamWorks has told me they were concerned that I might say something bad about the President, but they have expressed concerns that if I see Matt Drudge, I might put my red-blooded American foot up his un-American a--.'' Drudge didn't see the humor: The headline for a story on his site was ''Comic threatens violence against Drudge.''
PEACE PLEA An intensive workshop on satire hosted by Rock would do Drudge a world of good.
WHO Toby Keith, Ted Nugent, and Travis Tritt vs. Natalie Maines
HOW IT STARTED Maines claimed Keith's patriotic anthem ''Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry American)'' ''makes country music sound ignorant.'' She later told a London audience she was ''ashamed'' President Bush was from Texas.
HOW IT ENDED In concert, Keith projected a doctored photograph of Maines and Saddam Hussein on a video screen while playing ''Courtesy.'' Travis Tritt joined the fray by calling Maines' anti-Bush comments ''a cheap shot,'' and suggesting that the Chicks would play a military base if they were truly sorry. Ted Nugent then accused the band of living in ''an insulated world of fantasy and then criticiz[ing] the very system by which you can live free and brave.''
PEACE PLEA Maines could help Keith pen a better patriotic song than ''Courtesy'' (maybe her slam was aimed not at Keith's politics, but his plodding lyrics). As for Tritt and Nugent, a duet with the infamous bad boys of country and rock would be a perfect fit -- perhaps Tritt's ''T-R-O-U-B-L-E''?
WHO Oasis' Liam Gallagher vs. Coldplay's Chris Martin
HOW IT STARTED While playing a London benefit for teenage cancer victims with his band, Martin made anti-war comments.
HOW IT ENDED Gallagher slammed Martin for bringing up the war when cancer was the cause. ''If him and his gawky bird [Martin's girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow] want to go banging on about the war they can do it at their own gigs,'' Gallagher told London's Sun. Martin, who has compared Gallagher to Beethoven and covers Oasis' ''Songbird'' at shows, can take comfort knowing he's the one going home with the ''gawky bird.''
PEACE PLEA Settle it the Oasis way: a few pints, a bar brawl, and forget about it.

Athens Land Trust currently holds conservation easements protecting 11,528 acres in Athens-Clarke County and 23 other counties in Georgia. This land consists of working family farmland and forest, wetlands, neighborhood open space, and scenic vistas.
Land Protected By ALT
ALT works with landowners to protect forests, river and stream corridors, wetlands and other ecologically rich areas, working farmland, and scenic areas in and surrounding Athens-Clarke County. Protecting natural areas sustains critical ecosystem products such as clean air and water, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, water supply and productive soils. These "natural commodities" provide a wide array of benefits to humans and wildlife and create the foundation for environmental and economic sustainability. ALT currently protects 11,528 acres of land through conservation easements – a common land protection tool.
A conservation easement is a legal agreement between a property owner and a land trust that restricts the type and amount of development allowed on the owner's property. The restrictions outlined in the easement are negotiated between the property owner and the land trust and generally allow for the continued existing use of the property. Since the landowner continues to own the property, he/she maintains the rights of occupancy, privacy and transferability – the property owner can sell or transfer the property at any time. Once the restrictions in the easement are final, the easement becomes part of the property deed, permanently protecting the conservation values. To read more about conservation easements, see Frequently Asked Questions about Conservation Easements.
Land trusts have been extraordinarily successful and are playing a larger role in the field of land and natural resource protection. In fact, more than 47 million acres are protected by land trusts, according to the 2005 National Land Trust Census.
The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever.

Urinating Blood
Urinating blood may come in many forms such as the easily identified gross hematuria, the unseen microscopic hematuria, and red urine that is thought to be bloody urine but is caused by foods and medications.[more]
Urinary Tract Infections
Urinating blood that is also cloudy usually indicates urinary tract infection but needs to be diagnosed by the urologist for UTI medication and to rule out bladder cancer.
Advanced Prostate Cancer
Urinating blood as it travels out of the urethra (above), In men urine from the prostatic urethra may indicate late stage prostate cancer.
Urinating Blood
Urinating blood may be a frightening experience but it only takes a few drops of blood in the urine to be seen. Urinating blood is more often than not a bladder symptom but many urinary symptoms and medical disorders also create blood in urine. Occasionally what is perceived as urinating blood may be not be bloody urine, it may be nothing more than a red or pink color due to a medication or from something you ate. Blood in urine may also occur after a medical procedure or from medications called blood thinners such as Coumadin or aspirin. Long distance running and contact sports may also lead to hematuria, the medical term for urinating blood. Car accidents and falls may lead to blood in urine. Urinating blood may also be a sign of cancer .
Urinating blood may be happening without you knowing it and may only be revealed when a urine sample is tested for microscopic hematuria. Throughout the day our body sheds around a million red blood cells in our urine. While it sounds like a lot of blood, red blood cells are so small that they cannot be seen. When we have microscopic hematuria also called unseen blood in urine it means that we are urinating over a million red blood cells a day but still not enough to be seen by the naked eye. Microscopic hematuria may indicate multiple disorders and needs further evaluation especially if it is recurring. Gross hematuria is another medical term that simply means that we can visually see the blood in urine with our eyes. Another name for urinating blood that you can see with your eyes is frank hematuria.

William Friedkin - The Friedkin Connection
The long-awaited memoir from the Academy Award–winning director of such legendary films as The French Connection, The Exorcist, and To Live and Die in LA, The Friedkin Connection ($27.99) takes readers from the streets of Chicago to the suites of Hollywood and from the sixties to today, with autobiographical storytelling as fast-paced and intense as any of the auteur's films.
William Friedkin, maverick of American cinema, offers a candid look at Hollywood, when traditional storytelling gave way to the rebellious and alternative; when filmmakers like him captured the paranoia and fear of a nation undergoing a cultural nervous breakdown.

"My parents hired a dietician [when I was] in second grade because [they thought] I was overweight."
- Dylan, 23-year-old part-time Target employee
When Dylan walked into my office, I honestly wondered what he was doing there. I specialize in helping people who struggle with weight and body image issues. Dylan didn't seem to fit into either of those categories. Yet, here he was - 6'4", 230 pounds, with a fairly large, muscular build. Clearly he didn't need to lose weight. But he thought he did – at least 30 pounds to be exact. And then he told me about the dietician his parents had hired when he was 8 years old and it all started to make sense.
Unfortunately, Dylan isn't the only person who's walked into my office with stories of family … issues, for lack of a better word. There was Brandy who dieted with her mother throughout her adolescence and who still periodically calls her mother for dieting advice. Lindsey, who didn't want to be the "girl who let herself go" like her sister had. Karla, whose mother called her grandparents, with whom Karla was living, with instructions on what to feed her every day (Note: Karla was not a child). Tasha, who refused to visit her parents because she didn't want them to see that she had gained weight. Kyle, who despite the fact that he sought me out, was afraid that I was judging him because his mother had an eating disorder, a fact I wasn't even aware of until he blurted it out. Last but not least, Catherine, a concerned mother of a two-year-old who wanted to make sure she was feeding her daughter Kylie the "right" things so Kylie wouldn't become overweight like Catherine's mother had.

Being billed as Bangkok's first boutique hotel is no easy reputation to live up to. For starters, The Davis Hotel Bangkok is much bigger in terms of the number of rooms one would expect from a typical boutique hotel (237 guestrooms and ten Thai villas). When it opened in July 2003, it set new style parameters, and it wasn't long before others followed suit. Yet, four years on, and with new boutique contenders emerging fast and furious on the Bangkok hotel scene, The Davis still exemplifies the very essence of what a boutique hotel is all about - a unique hospitality experience that has, well, that little something extra which only the French have a word for: "panache".

Down Sukhumvit Road Soi 24, the imposing European-style curved Corner Wing is the first sign that you've arrived somewhere that's decidedly different. Two mythical Asian lions cast in concrete silently hold guard on either side of the entrance, while an antique Victorian street clock on a decorative cast-iron pole is juxtaposed to one side on the neatly brick-paved surface.
Tucked in next to the Corner Wing is Camp Davis, a two-storey retail complex, and passing that brings you to the Main Wing with its chic, clinical-looking contemporary lobby. You've arrived at a 'different experience'. So different, in fact, that you can change rooms for 60 consecutive nights without encountering the same interior twice.
A gripe some people would have with its location is that it's a good 15-minute hike to Sukhumvit Road where the popular Emporium mall and Phrom Phong Skytrain (BTS) station can be found. The hotel does offer a complimentary tuk-tuk shuttle service, but with only six seats and a limiting schedule on the half-hour, it's best to book your seat(s) with the concierge desk in advance.
On the upside, taxis are plentiful and cheap, and this 'soi' (street) off Sukhumvit has a life all of its own - far removed from the traffic-clogged main road with its pavement vendors, tourist touts and customary tailor shops. Besides, this is the type of hotel selected for its very special flair.
Inside Camp Davis are several restaurants (Thai and international), a Starbucks, a dental clinic, nail spa and beauty salon, ice cream shop and a few gift shops. The immediate vicinity has even more offerings: a number of authentic local eating experiences, a few massage shops (not of the happy-ending genre), a spa, a modern Tops supermarket, more coffee shops, a DVD hire outlet, pet shop, some boutique shops, an Internet shop, laundry and even a chocolatier - all adding to a charming neighbourhood feel.
Back at the hotel, there's even moe to explore beyond Camp Davis, and the adjoining Corner and Main Wings, which are seven and nine storeys, respectively. At the back of the hotel lies the 'pi-ce de r-sistance', ten exquisite two- and three-bedroom Thai villas set in an idyllic garden, and ranging in size from 164 to 250 square metres.
With meticulous attention to comfort and design detail to keep the style authentic, the villas present an unprecedented level of luxury. Textured wooden walls, sumptuous silk touches and elegant furniture are off-set against the graceful arc of the ceiling, creating a wonderfully soothing space to sleep, eat, dream, relax and live.
Perfectly complementing the exquisite interiors are hi-tech trimmings like a data port for broadband Internet connectivity, a fax line, satellite (flat screen) TV, DVD/CD player, a fully-equipped kitchenette, and a bathroom with separate shower and tub where you'd want to spend much more time in than usual.
The same design and comfort philosophy is extended through all rooms and suits of the Corner and Luxury Wings, with a style and configuration that suits every taste. In the Main Wing, choices include Superior, Design and Deluxe Rooms (all 42 square metres, the 'differentiator' being the interior style), as well as one-bedroom Junior, Davis and Deluxe Suites (80 square metres and, again, decked out in different interiors) with separate lounge area and fully-equipped kitchenettes.
Executive Suites have two bedrooms in a spacious 130-square metre space. The Davis Suite here comes highly recommended with its four-poster bed, lots of dark woodwork in the lounge area, and beautifully decorated with ornamental Thai arts and crafts - yet oozing a contemporary mood. The A-shape ceiling creates a particularly unusual but pleasant feeling of added space.
The Studio Room in the Corner Wing (33 square metres) has what would be for some a very 'sexy' feature. A large window provides a full-on view either into the bathroom or from, but a curtain can be drawn for those who prefer bathroom privacy. The Premier Room offers a roomier option at 55 square metres, and weighing in even bigger are The Diplomat and Emperor Suites (both 100 square metres), and the Ambassador Suite (110 square metres). All the suites have Jacuzzis.
In-room features throughout are the same as that found in the villas (except the additional add-ons mentioned previously), but the varying interior styles of the different accommodations defy clear definition. It's distinctly Thai, but also modern. It's warm and cosy, yet also positively 'cool'.
The outdoor rooftop pool on the ninth floor of the Main Wing is not particularly big, with only a limiting number of deck chairs around. Claim yours early enough if lounging around the pool is on the agenda. The rooftop is a wonderfully relaxing area though, with lots of greenery, good views, a Pool Bar, and also where you'll find the well-equipped Spa & Fitness Centre.
There's a separate outdoor pool for use of guests staying at the villas, but note that guests staying in the Corner Wing have to walk the few minutes or so between that and the Main Wing, passing Camp Davis.

Michael Chang, the professional tennis player, was elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame recently. (Here's the NY Times article on the matter.)
Michael probably doesn't remember, but his mom was my babysitter for a summer a long time ago back in Minnesota. There weren't tons of Chinese families in the area at the time; they lived near us, so our families were social. I think my parents are still in touch with his.
I have a distinct memory of playing ping pong with Michael and his older brother Carl. Michael was barely tall enough to see over the table, but he was quick and aggressive, slamming the ball despite his height.
They moved away to California so the boys could play tennis more earnestly. Obviously, it was a good call.
Michael was the first world-class Asian-American professional athletes I can recall. The whole community rallied behind him; even today he's a big celebrity in the Chinese-American community.
I see on Wikipedia that he lives on Mercer Island here in Seattle. Maybe I'll run into him again sometime. (For more, here's his official site.)
Anyway, congrats, Michael!
As I mentioned last week, we took the boys to see the Seattle Symphony perform a show called "PLAY! A Video Game Symphony". The symphony played songs from various video games.
The concert was enjoyable. There were three large screens suspended over the symphony showing scenes from the games. While the scenes weren't set to the music, it was helpful to see the games with the music and fun to see old school stuff like the original Zelda or Mario games.
They also showed close-ups of the musicians playing; since we were about three rows from the back of the auditorium in the highest balcony, it was especially nice see musicians doing their thing. I wish they did this in all symphony performances.
I admit I was a little surprised by the quality of the scores. While some of the songs like Super Mario Brothers were just fun and nostalgic, the newer scores were often beautiful. Since video games have become as huge financially as movies (bigger now, I think), I guess it makes sense that they can attract a similar caliber of composer for games as movies. They sometimes felt a bit formulaic (for example, almost every fighting game broke into a martial snare drum beat), but I'm this may have been just the samples they chose. As a Microsoft guy, I was pleased how good the medley from HALO was; in particular, the opening bars of the HALO theme are really distinctive.
One interesting note: two of the composers, Jeremy Soule and Martin O'Donnell, were in the audience - not something I've seen before since most classical music composers are, well, dead.
The boys were well-behaved through the concert, although by the end of the three hour performance, Michael (7) was getting sleepy and fidgety (I was too). Andrew (10) really loved it though. All in all, it was a good first symphony experience for them.
In case you're curious, here's the program:
|Nobuo Uematsu

|FINAL FANTASY VII-Liberi Fatali

I've said it before, the Japanese are weird. These videos are part of a set that apparently tries to teach English through a weird combination of skits and dancing; while this is nutty enough, the phrases they choose are odd and funny.
Here are a few gems:

OK, hopefully this is the last post on the Chris/cancer topic. It's Happy Dance time at the Evans house!
His pathology report came back and had good news. The renal cell cancer was confined to the removed kidney and the lymph nodes were clear. He has some follow-up checks, but no radiation or chemo or anything horrible like that. He's home now and eating/drinking real stuff again, so hopefully it'll be clear sailing ahead.
What a relief!
Next week, the Seattle Symphony will be performing a show called "PLAY! A Video Game Symphony", described as:
Watch graphics from your all-time favorite blockbuster video games—including Super Mario Bros.,® HALO® and The Legend of Zelda®—on the big screen while Seattle Symphony, Vocalpoint! Seattle and Northwest Boychoir perform the soundtrack.
They have a show next Thursday (1/24) at 7:30pm and a matinee Saturday, 1/26 at 1:00pm. Both shows are at the incredible Benaroya Hall. Unfortunately, it's not cheap; the lowest priced tickets are about $50 each with most of those sold out on Thursday already.
In any case, I thought it would be a fun way to introduce the boys to the symphony, so we're going to one of the shows. I'll let you know how it is.
January 12, 2008
Kellie, Kristen, Eric, Katie, David, and I visited Chris yesterday at the hospital. (Wow, not a very prolific set of bloggers...) Like I mentioned recently, Chris learned last week that he has renal cancer. For a guy who just had major league surgery to remove a mutant kidney, he looked great. I was mentally prepared for him to look a bit ragged, but he looked pretty normal. The only real indication of his condition (aside from the fetching hospital gown) was that his voice was a bit gruff, probably from not being allowed to drink or eat anything for the past few days. (More on that here).
His wife Leslie looked good too and was in high spirits. We also got to meet Chris' mom. I love meeting my friends' parents; they're almost always as cool as their kids (clear correlation). It would crush me to see my kids with cancer, but she seemed to holding up well too.
Kellie, Kristen, and I brought Chris a few Vosges Bacon Chocolate bars, which are fantastic, of course, because they have bacon. Hopefully, Chris will be able to enjoy them in a few days, unless Leslie keeps trying to kill him.
It's great reading the comments on his blog. I think it's a real testimony to the man Chris is that so many people care about him and are concerned. As Leslie mentioned in the blog, EVERYBODY LOVES CHRIS! Go, man, go!
January 8, 2008
A few years ago I worked on the MSN Explorer 8.0 team; the project was code-named Texas. I made a few really good friends on that project. This weekend two of them had serious medical surprises.
Craig, movie critic - really, he was the FOX13 movie dude - and former speech writer for Bill Gates, had surgery to get his appendix out; his blog post just said, "They say it has to come out tonight."
Perhaps even more severe, Chris, golf and ski buddy now at DeepRockDrive (guess they couldn't afford spaces for their name), went into the hospital with a sharp pain, thinking it was as kidney stone. Unfortunately, it turned out to be cancer. Chris goes into surgery tomorrow. He and his lovely wife, Leslie, have started a blog to document the experience.
Other than the fact that these two good friends of mine (both of whom are about my age) had these problems on the same weekend, the weird thing about these was that I found out about both on Facebook. Sign of our times, I guess.
I admit I'm a little freaked out by my friends having these kinds of health problems. I know these are strictly age related, but it's playing on my impending feeling of doom around getting older. Of course, my feelings here are nothing compared to what Craig and Chris are going through. My prayers and best wishes go out to them and their families.

It's been a while since I've been to CES, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It's too bad I missed Bill Gates' keynote this year though. Bill has been the regular keynote speaker for years; since he's retiring later this year, this is probably his last one. He kicked off his talk with this funny video full of celebrities about his last day. Wish I had been there. Check it out:

January 1, 2008
As I mentioned earlier, I've started listening to Chinese language learning podcasts to help me improve my language skills. I took a look at a few and decided that two really fit my weird needs pretty well (I'm pretty fluent speaking and listening, but my vocabulary isn't particularly modern or adult, having learned most of my Chinese at home.)
Chinese Lessons with Serge Melnyk
It's hard to believe that a guy named Serge Melnyk speaks Chinese well enough to teach Chinese, but our man Serge does. In fact, his Chinese is better than his English, which he speaks with a weird accent.
The thing I like best about Serge is that he covers real topics with mostly real language. One of the first lessons I evaluated was one on lining up in China (anyone who has visited China knows that queuing is a lost art in China) and included vocabulary on how to yell at the line cutters ("Are you blind? Can't you see there's a line here?"). Another recent lesson was on how to break up in Chinese ("...you're a great girl and I'm sure there's a better match for you somewhere.") I certainly didn't learn that at home or in Saturday morning Chinese classes growing up.
The podcasts are free; you can buy the transcripts and worksheets for added practice. My only real complaint is that Serge doesn't provide any pauses in the podcast for the listener to repeat the vocabulary or sentences.
Another good podcast for me is iMandarinPod. This podcast is put together by The Center of Chinese Educational Development in Tianjian in partnership with the College of Chinese Culture & Literature on Nankai University.
I picture all the instructors are students at Nankai University; they all sound young and are very sincere in their efforts. The lessons are a bit more traditional Communist Chinese text book (e.g. "The Great Wall" or "I want to learn to sing Beijing Opera") than Serge's lessons. Unlike Serge who explains the lessons in English, the iMandarinPod lessons are entirely in Chinese. They force me to really listen a lot more closely than Serge does, which is a good thing. They also are clearly native speakers and have the right cadence and sound; even though Serge's Chinese sounds excellent, you can still tell he's not a native speaker.
The biggest issue with iMandarinPod is that most of the site is in Chinese; since I don't read or write Chinese very well, it's tough for me to get around. However, since it doesn't really matter which lessons I download, this hasn't been horrible for me. These podcasts are free as well, although there's a link to donate. They also have downloadable learning guides once you register.
Serge claims to be able to take learners from nothing to high fluency. I haven't listened to the earliest podcasts to see how well he handles people new to Chinese; the iMandarinPod stuff is definitely for advanced intermediates+.
Good luck!
As usual, we had a generous Christmas with lots of great presents. One gift that I thought was particularly appropriate given my long-lasting and well-known love for bacon was The Bacon Cookbook by James Villas, former food and wine editor of Town & Country Magazine and Bon Appetit's Food Writer of the Year 2004.
It's clear that Villas shares my love of bacon in all its forms. He starts by describing the different kinds of bacon from around the world and then dives through forty+ recipes, sorted by course; he even has a few bacon desserts like Canadian Bacon Maple Custard.
Each recipe has a short description that tells a personal story, explains a little history, or otherwise introduces the dish; I love when cookbooks do this vs. just listing a pile of recipes. Each introduction sells the dish with effusive praise, e.g. "...you simply can't serve a more delectable side dish" [Lima Bean and Bacon Casserole] or "One of America's most original and sensational breakfast or lunch dishes..." [California Hangtown Fry]. The photography in the book is very nice as well. More important, the recipes seem pretty well written and straightforward, with the possible exception of having to find these exotic types of bacon (although Villas does offer web resources for getting the different kinds of bacon.)
I admit, my mouth is watering right now as I flip through the book. I'm excited to start cooking out of it.
Welcome to 2008! I'm not really one to make New Year's resolutions, but I have been thinking about things I want to do this year. Mostly, I have a list of things I've wanted to do for a while that I never quite got around to. Over the past few weeks, I took some steps to get going on these. Here are a few things I want to do and the steps I've taken. (Blogging about them will also help create a little public accountability.)
Spend more time with the boys
I think the kids and I do quite a bit together already, but I think these are the prime years I have with them where they're old enough (7 and 10) to really participate and still don't mind hanging out with dad, so I want to double-down on our time together.
The kids have been bugging me to go camping beyond our backyard for some time, so I thought I'd start there. I haven't ever really camped (OK, we went once when I was two), so I've been dragging my feet a bit, but I really want to try it as well. I looked into camp sites last summer, but it was almost impossible to reserve one at that late date, and I didn't want to chance driving somewhere and not having a site. So, this week, I reserved a choice site at Deception Pass State Park (close enough to home that we can bail out if it sucks) in June. I'm pretty excited and will probably book a few more dates just in case we love it.
Incidentally, the Washington State Parks reservation system is pretty good. They show you the individual sites with descriptions and ratings of quality and privacy, have photo(s) of the site, and make it easy to see what dates are available. Good use of our tax dollars.
Work out more
As I've chronicled on this blog, I've been up and down with my working out. I definitely do best when I have scheduled events I'm working toward, so this morning (the first day of sign-ups), I signed up for the RSVP (Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party). It's a ride like the STP (Seattle-to-Portland) that I did two years ago. I tried to sign up last year, but I waited too long, and the ride sold out. I'll do the Chilly Hilly again in preparation too, but I'll probably skip STP. Good to have the goals on the calendar now. I may do another half marathon (probably Kirkland in May instead of Mercer Island in March).
Learn to play an instrument well
I took piano lessons on and off growing up (mostly off) but never really reached a level of reasonable competency. I've always wanted to play well, so I started piano lessons last month, taking the half hour before Andrew's lessons (can't skip my lesson without making him miss his). We also just had a little Yahama grand piano delivered yesterday. It's been fun playing again, and my instructor has me working on theory as well to better understand what's going on. This had added an interesting new dimension.
I thought about starting guitar instead (which I've also always wanted to play), but I'm much closer to competence on piano, so I figured that was wiser. (I also played clarinet for six years, but I don't have much interest in picking that up again. Not too many social opportunities for clarinet...)
Learn to speak another language to adult fluency
I grew up speaking Chinese at home, suffered through eleven years of Saturday morning Chinese school, took a year of Chinese in college. I also took four years of high school German (enough to get by as a tourist). However, I can't really do business or carry on adult conversations in either language. Since I'm closer to fluency in Chinese, I decided to build on that base. Although I'm basically illiterate in Chinese, I figured I'd start with my listening and vocabulary skills. I started listening to Chinese language podcasts. There are a few good ones, but my favorite so far is by a guy named Serge Melnyk (really). More on these later.
I have lots of other things I want to do, but I figured this is a good start. Hopefully, I can stick with these and build some good habits. What are your plans?

The most comprehensive program available but flexible too so that you can start simply and add function and features at your own pace.
Biggest Pro: Flexibility and Second Site for creative websites
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Don B., Aug 9, 2012
I started working on my family history in the mid-1990s, and picked up FTM when I saw I needed a database. FTM was good choice to start with, being very easy to use. But some its "features" began to drive me crazy, like automatically completing wrongly spelled names and places (forcing repeat fixing of the same spelling issue), happily permitting me to enter 5 versions of a given place name, and then not giving me any way to standardize it one time for the entire database, etc. etc. So my journal reports looked like crap unless I tracked down each and every instance and manually fixed them one at a time.
I bought TMG when it was ver. 4, around 2000 or 2001 as I recall. In 2010 I bought Second Site, and using that put my website together I have never felt the slightest regret about moving to TMG, and have zero interest in even looking at another competing product. Does it have its warts — yes it does, but the features far outweigh the disadvantages, for me. Here's my assessment:
I have 15 years of work invested in my genealogy data — there are 88,000 individuals in my TMG database, and my web site runs 2,000 pages. I wouldn't dream of trusting all of that to any other product, period. I pray for good health for Bob Velke, and I dread the day when MS releases an OS that won't run Visual FoxPro, because that will be the beginning of a bad time for me and my hobby.
Biggest Pro: Stability of the software.
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Phil, Jun 6, 2012
I have used TMG since UFT was killed after version 3.1. It is still my main database but only because I loathe the prospect of editing my data once it has been transferred to a new program. The Genbridge technology is great for getting information into TMG however if you use witnesses a lot and in-text footnotes it's a nightmare to get out by Gedcom.
While the UI is flexible it is rather archaic in appearance and no matter how one adjusts it awkward to use. Data input is probable a little more complicated than it should be however it produces wonderful charts and descent reports that require only moderate editing to be publication ready.

The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Doug Elerath, Jun 3, 2012
I have been using TMG forever. I have just switched from PC to Mac and want to export my data. Unfortunately I have made extensive use of the witness feature, especially for census data. The resulting data apparently can not be ported out!! This is silly. Although GedCom is antiquated, I would expect that the witness data could at least be turned into notes for GedCom export.
I have worked for years with DBs, and know that if it is in the database, it can be extracted. But Wholly Genes provides no support for this. I advise against even thinking about TMG unless you are positive you will never move to mac and/or never want to move your data to another program!
Biggest Pro: It is feature laden
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by D. L. Johnson, Mar 31, 2012
Rubyann's review is worth reading. It speaks for me. I spent a "lifetime" in the computing biz including teaching relational database at the college level. Writing the Fox Pro "underwear" is not hard.
Biggest Pro: Relational Database flexiblity
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Riv, Mar 7, 2012
user since v6, and the program is getting worse.
Yes, v8 now officially runs on win7, even 64 bit. the trade off is more random crashed and lock ups than even v7 had. (actually, v7 has fewer crashes for me on 64 bit win7, imagine that). And this is not a Costco special pc: Specs include: i5 Quad core, 12 GB DDR3, Hardware raid o/s drive (1 TB) with 64 bit win 7 Pro, GTX-460 card, supplemental 2TB Storage (2x 1TB 10k rpm drives, SATA). Windows scores a 7.5 in it's own "performance" tests (not counting disk access).
I can triple box online MMO's, listen to music, surf the web/youtube.netflix, and vpn into work, all at one time with no issue. Run TMG v8, all alone, and it still hangs.
Fox Pro, still? really? The more I do with it, and the more data I store, the more unstable it becomes.
I like the granular access to my data, and some of the editing tools (which can destroy your data if not careful), but this is one of only 2 time sin my life, I have regretted buying any software.
heck, I started using PHPGedView as is is more robust (and accessible anywhere).
TMG, as soon as I test and find a suitable replacement, auf nimmer Weidersehen. hmmm, maybe time for some postgresql, or even NoSQL.
Biggest Pro: Granular control over data.
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by N. P. Maling, Feb 12, 2012
TMG remains the best genealogy program out there. It's not an ancestry program and it's not a family history program. It's for genealogists who care about their work. Version 8 continues Wholly Genes' commitment.
Biggest Pro: Usability
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Alex, Jan 18, 2012
I have used TMG 7 for years. Yes, the program is extremely customizable - you can create unique events, unique place styles, name styles, etc - but it is also extremely rigid. The UI is awful. Seriously, it's almost like using an Excel spreadsheet, but 100x more cumbersome.
Biggest Pro: You can create whatever unique events, place styles, and name formats (amongst other things) you like.
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Nathanael, Jan 13, 2012
Follow-up of my previous review.
Been looking at FTM 2011, which someone bought me as a Christmas present a year ago and I'd never used.
First, I note FTM DOES allow me to design my own input form, in a limited sort of way: when in Family View, click on the Customize… button at the lower right of the screen; from there you can choose which data entry fields you want. I've added Burial, and am finding now that data entry is faster in FTM than it was even in TMG's multiple-add screen, particularly as I don't have to go back to invidually edit persons with data not covered in the multi-add screen. The only advantage I see to TMG at this point is one need only specify the source once, and TMG automatically applies it to every event entered in the multi-add screen. But in FTM one need only press Ctrl-Shift-S to reuse the last source, so it's not much of a hassle.
In a couple days playing with FTM, I haven't found much TMG does that FTM can't also do — that is, of the TMG features I use. TMG does have finer granularity for sourcing — for example, I can slap separate sources on Date- and Place-of-Death in TMG; in FTM the same source is applied to both. And TMG does seem to have better report generation facilities — though creating and fine-tuning your sentence rules in TMG is a bit too much like computer programming.
However, if TMG has more features, still FTM doesn't appear to lag behind, and has a modern and much more intuitive interface besides, demonstrating my previous assertion that complexity and intuitive interfaces are not mutually exclusive: a program CAN be robust, powerful, full-featured *and* intuitive. Bob Velke, take note.
The one feature I'm missing so far from FTM is the ability to generate web pages (Ancestry.com apparently wants to keep you tied to their site), but to be fair, TMG doesn't do it natively, either; that functionality requires a separate purchase.
And FTM has name completion — YEAH! So far, I'm liking FTM.
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by JR, Jan 13, 2012
I have been using this software for several years and still find it hard to navigate and use. It uses non-Windows standards in its interface and adding citations is just a pain. Recently, I experienced a power failure while doing some significant editing / additions. Unfortunately, the folks at TMG must not have test this potential problem as it corrupted my data file, which caused me to have to restore from a backup. I lost several hours of work in the end. Time to switch to another tool as I am done with TMG.
Biggest Con: Hard to navigate and use. Corrupt data when power fails.
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by JohnnyC, Jan 12, 2012
Every UI problem you mentioned is due to TMG's one fatal flaw: it's just a Visual FoxPro app. Drag and drop? Auto-completion? TMG doesn't have 'em because VFP doesn't support it. "Early 90s meme"? Once again, that's VFP all over. Look at any VFP application — they all look the same. TMG will never get a facelift because VFP doesn't support modern UI design.
And never will. Microsoft has end-of-lifed VFP. No new versions, no more patches. VFP is dead. And, unfortunately, so is TMG as long as it's wedded to dead-end 90s technology. The only way forward for TMG is for Velke to rewrite it from scratch in something with forward momentum (MySQL, anyone?). And I suspect Velke would rather go down with his ship than do that.
Biggest Pro: Comprehensive, powerful, can do pretty much everything.
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Nathanael, Jan 11, 2012
@MaryD: "And lastly, speaking of ignorance, flag should be 'gender' rather than 'sex'"
Sorry, no. It's "sex", not "gender". People are male and female, not masculine and feminine. If you think "sex" is wrong, complain to the government. Every census form I've ever seen says "sex". Personally, I find it rather pleasant that TMG is one of the few programs that hasn't submitted to this dumbing down of English.
TMG has been my go-to genealogical software for several years, now, and the best I can say about it is that I like it better than anything else I've tried. It *is* a powerful program. Unlike, say, FTM, which is OK with sloppiness, I like that TMG constantly nags me about details like sourcing and surety. By forcing me to stay on top of things I have a penchant for getting lazy about, TMG makes my research better.
With TMG, one almost never has to ask, "Can it do this?" Of course it can! Though until one becomes accustomed to the philosophy behind TMG's design, it can be a bit difficult at times to figure out *how*. The problem for me is that there are so many ways to do something in TMG I have a hard time picking and sticking with a particular approach (in addition to being chronically lazy, I'm an incurable second-guesser).
Critics of TMG's UI, however, are spot-on. It's cluttered, and seems haphazard, with far too many pop-up windows, and is firmly stuck in an early-90s meme. Where, for example, is drag-and-drop support? I'd love to be able to drag-and-drop people from anywhere into a Focus Group window, I'd love to be able to drag-and-drop (or even double-click) someone from Project Explorer into the Details window. How about name completion? Why can't I just type "Kl" rather than having to type out "Kleinliebental" every time.
And is there a program out there that will let me design my own data entry screen? I'm currently working through a stack of seventy or eighty group sheets in which the compiler recorded place of burial instead of place of death. Now TMG8's multi-add screen makes short work of adding a whole bunch of children at once, but it only has fields for place of death, not burial, which means after adding all the children en masse I still need to go edit each one individually to fill in place of burial. All the time-saving the multi-add feature promises just goes right out the window.
And to defenders of TMG who insist "intuitive" and "complexity" are mutually exclusive, I beg to differ. Yes, TMG can be a complex program. That doesn't mean it can't also be intuitive. Responsibility for TMG's outdated and overly complex UI rests squarely with Bob Velke, not TMG's capabilities. Velke needs to stop cramming in new features, and spend the next two or three years radically overhauling TMG's interface, or hire someone to do it. It's scary old.
Having said all that, I LOVE the users' groups and mailing lists. With TMG's reputation (deserved or not) for being geared toward the professional genealogist, I've found that the regulars on the TMG mailing list tend to be a cut above in terms of their genealogical experience. I can also count on an expert and thoughtful answer to my queries.
Verdict: A radical overhaul of its twenty-year-old interface would propel TMG to the top of the pack. As it stands, TMG 90s look and feel serious hampers the usability of an otherwise powerful program. Casual users run away from TMG screaming in terror.
Biggest Pro: One never has to ask, "Can TMG do this?" Of course it can! (And the expertise on the mailing lists is a cut above.)
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Rubyann, Jan 10, 2012
As a serious and detailed genealogist for over 35 years I certainly know how to research and know what tools I need for my research. Those tools need to be easy to use and a database is merely one of the tools. My first tool purchase was a database and I have upgraded several times as they 'improved' their products. However, many of the newer ones appear to be adding gimmicks in order to sell more products. They are certainly adding features for which I have no need or desire. TMG is one of those, in my opinion. I only purchased TMG when it acquired Ultimate Family Tree (or whatever it did) and ceased supporting UFT, but I wasted my money on this purchase. TMG is far more complicated than it needs to be. After several attempts to learn its features I've decided not to waste anymore of my time on it. Should have stuck to my first rule 'must be easy to use' and saved myself lots of aggravation and time, time I could have used better in researching!
I would rate TMG a ZERO if I could.
Biggest Pro: None that I can see.
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Ricardo Charters d'Azevedo, Jan 8, 2012
Wow, what a bunch of critical "reviews" immediately after the launch of the new awards to same programmes.
What really pisses off some of this revisers is that they do not accept that TMG is really for expert genealogists.
Biggest Pro: Much better that the others I checked
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by MaryD, Jan 4, 2012
After using Family Tree Maker for 20 years, I bought TMG last year. I consider myself highly computer literate and was trying to avoid a program with a lot of cute bells and whistles - so thought I would give TMG a shot.
Biggest Pro: Chronological tags
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Sheila Altenbernd, Jan 3, 2012
I love that TMG is event driven and allows more than two people to be linked to any event. For example, if I have 5 members of a family participating in a wedding, I can link them all to that single event. The roles capability makes this functionality even more flexible. I can flag the bride and groom, of course, but I can also flag the maid of honor, best man, minister, flower girl, etc. Each different role can generate different text making the narrative more readable. Support from Wholly Genes is second to none.
Biggest Pro: Witnesses and Roles
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Doris Wheeler, Jan 3, 2012
For the serious genealogist who wants to "flesh out the bones" and build an authoritative database that includes alternative scenarios, historical background, detailed source citations and the ability to generate reports of all kinds. This program is not for the name gatherer, although it allows an unlimited number of people, names, places, notes, exhibits and records with no size restrictions. It is highly flexible and usable out of the box so one can start simply and add features at will to take advantage of the richness of the program. TMG is the top of the line program with options galore.
Biggest Pro: Flexibility
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by Dick Ammann, Jan 3, 2012
I've tried many genealogical software programs through the years; not one approaches the range and quality of features found in TMG. No other program allows the range of data entry and the thoroughness of source citation which is in TMG.
Biggest Pro: range and quality of features
The Master Genealogist (TMG) Review by TMGsuks, Jan 2, 2012
Wow, what a bunch of uncritical "reviews" immediately after the launch of the new awards.
What really pisses me off is their constant whining that TMG is for expert genealogists.
This is an amateur program from the 80s.
Biggest Pro: none. this is junk.

TORONTO (CP) – For a young Toronto Raptors squad that had almost no playoff experience, Saturday's Game 1 had a little bit of everything – from a faulty shot clock, to a GM hollering a profanity and a deliriously loud crowd dying for a post-season victory.
It was a loss. But it was also a learning experience.
Deron Williams and Joe Johnson had 24 points each to lift Brooklyn to a 94-87 win over the Raptors, making their first playoff appearance since […]View Post...

There is a relatively new (at least to me) website called dailyhiker.com that I've been following. The guys who run it are local to the Pacific Northwest but the blog covers hiking around the world. They ran a contest recently for the best lake photo so I submitted my photo of MattM skipping rocks into the Puget Sound (technically not a lake I guess) on last summer's camping trip. I didn't win but I did make it into the top 13. Interestingly it's the only photo in that group that has a person in it. This photo was taken with our little point and shoot. I'm really looking forward to hiking around with the T2i this summer.

New Hampshire Catholics And Their Hopes For A New Pope
By Laura Knoy
Catholic cardinals from around the world are meeting now, as the process of choosing a new leader gets underway at a time of tremendous upheaval for their church. We'll find out what religious leaders and others in the Granite state are saying about this and what they think it means for the future.
- Father Benedict - Benedictine priest and Professor of theology at St. Anselm College.
- Father Tom Duston - Pastor of both St. Theresa's parish in Henniker and St. Mary's parish in Hillsboro.
- Michelle Dillon- Professor of Sociology and Department chair at UNH. She has written extensively about Catholicism.
