All of this began with a quest for a new camping skillet. I am a diehard cast iron fan. I currently have four 10" cast iron skillets, one 10" flat skillet, one deep "chicken fryer" skillet, an indoor stove top dutch oven, two outdoor dutch ovens (with legs and flanged lid). One of them is 10" and the other is 12". I have a number 3 Potjie, and a monster number 6 Potjie. In case you don't know what a Potjie is, it is like a cauldron with three large legs.
Obviously, I just love the stuff. Then, I discovered the carbon steel wok. No non-stick, non-conducting stainless steel, or anything silly like that. Good old fashion carbon steel. I love the wok, but must say I had some trouble getting it properly seasoned. Carbon steel generally follows the same methods of seasoning as cast iron, but can be a touch more difficult, and takes a longer amount of time to get it done properly.
I have been cooking on cast iron since I moved out on my own. Without really knowing "why" I was seasoning them the way I was, it all worked out just fine. Cast iron seems very forgiving in getting it seasoned, and as long as you avoid a couple of "no-no's" it is really no big deal. Now that I understand the reasons behind doing certain things, seasoning carbon steel is a snap. Of course, it applies directly over to cast iron as well.
The carbon steel wok led me on a mission to get a very nice carbon steel skillet for camping. While cast iron is super tough, carbon steel just seems to have the ability to be beat up just a bit more. Such as in taking impacts, dropping etc. That is pure negligence, but stuff happens And yes, I have broke 2 pieces of cast iron cookware in the past
Obviously if I am considering either cast iron or carbon steel skillet, it is not for backpacking That doesn't necessarily mean car camping either. I would be more than willing to afford the weight of carbon steel in my canoe camping, for instance. I have the space, and weight is not as super critical as backpacking. So, canoe camping is my main driver for such a skillet, but will still obviously be used for car camping, and as I quickly found out, nearly every day at the house too!
If you know me at all, such an easy purchase as a skillet is not taken lightly. I am not a big "gear junkie" when it comes to outdoor stuff and the few simple things that I really enjoy, I want them to be the best they can be. If I have to buy a lightweight non-stick pot for solo backing (and I do have that type of gear), I will sure do it. But, that doesn't mean that I am either going to like it or get excited about it I don't get into gear that way, like a lot of other folks do.
The purchase of this skillet was no exception. I have been looking for "exactly" what I want for about a year and a half now. It started by seeing a "Greenfield Camp Skillet" in a cool store up north. You are probably familiar with these in the form of the "Big Daddy" version.
Obviously that is way ridiculous for what I want. But, less known is that they sell a smaller version.
The store had the smaller version, and for some reason it just seemed a touch too small. Also, I was fine with the "bolt on" handle, but not pumped about it. I guess it could be looked at as a good and bad thing. So, I did not buy it. Doing some research on it later via the internet, I found out that there are no sizes in between. Either gargantuan big, or a touch too small. I was kicking myself for not just buying it, as they are not readily available anywhere else I have looked (except the internet, of course).
I scoured the internet for the "perfect" skillet. I even bought one sight unseen that turned out miserable in person. I haven't even used it, and don't want to. Something finally inspired me to try searching some more, and I found a great answer!
Leave it to the French! De Buyer makes a wonderful collection of thick, carbon steel pans.
While these were not exactly intended for "woods" use, they were everything that I wanted. Carbon steel, heavy gauge, sloping sides, nice long handle for cooking over the fire, and did I mention carbon steel! Plus, they are available in 12 different sizes, ranging from 18cm in diameter up to 50cm in increments of 2cm! Perfect!
Yes, it is totally me to be the only grease covered, soot smeared, luddite woodsbum using fancy French skillets, for god's sake!
I have to say, after washing them, seasoning them, and using them, they will still go camping, but also have a permanent place in my kitchen. I believe I like them even better than my beloved cast iron. They heat evenly, respond faster than cast iron, can sear at super high temperatures, and after properly seasoned, are as slick as can be!
All of the information just happens to be a prelude to what I actually wanted to talk about Seasoning cookware. So, here we go.
I am sure you have all seen a dozen recipes for seasoning cast iron. They usually go something like "First thoroughly was with soap (the only time you should use soap." Dry. Then coat with oil and bake at 400F until it stops smoking. Repeat."
My problem is that I hate recipes! I don't want to be told how to do something. I want to know why I am doing something, and why it works. That is also why I am a big fan of Alton Brown's cookbook "I'm Just Here for the Food!" He hates recipes too! He claims that a recipe is like precise directions. Explicitly spelled out turns, exact distances, and very detailed instructions on how to get from A to B.. The problem is if one of those roads along your route is closed, you could be screwed! Instead, give me a map! Rather than follow a "recipe" exactly and being told what to do, I want to understand what I am doing and why. Much like have a map, rather than directions.
With that in mind, without talking about the specific process of seasoning, let's talk about the theory behind what I believe needs to happen to get a pan to properly season. Remember, my feeling is that cast iron is extremely easy to do, and hard to screw up. When you move to carbon steel, doing it right is a little critical, else it will take you much longer to achieve a "seasoned" status
There are only a couple "key" things that I believe have to happen during the process:
1) The utensil must be free of dirty oils, and manufacturing oils before starting.
2) The utensil must be heated. It allows the pores in the metal to open up and accept new and clean oil, which will become the base for the newly seasoned utensil.
3) Clean oil needs to be absorbed into the open pores.
4) Excess oil needs to be removed.
That's it! At least in my opinion and experience. I will get into the exact process that I have become most fond of using for this. But, before that, I want to talk about some "old school rules." Stuff that is good info, but always had the old wives tale nostalgia around it, at least in my mind. With the details I provided above, I finally understand some of these things, and wanted to explain them. Here they are:
Don't dry your skillet with a towel. Heat it up on the burner
Boil potatoes or potato peelings in a brand new skillet before seasoning
Never use soap for cleaning
Never use water for cleaning
Do not let your pan soak for extended periods
Deep fry in your new utensil for the first few uses
Avoid acidic dishes for the first couple uses in your newly seasoned skillet
Let's look at each of them in turn, and what I feel I have learned about them.
Don't dry your skillet with a towel. Heat it up on the burner: I never did understand this one. I always thought "what's the difference?" Is it just because you didn't want to use a towel? A form of laziness perhaps? But, I have come to find out there is value in the practice.
When you wash your skillet, you are supposed to be using only hot water (more on that later). The water will get rid of all the nasty bits of junk for you, but as you know, water will not necessarily cut and get rid of any oil that was present during cooking. The same oil which makes a skillet become better and better with age. So, why waste it!
That is the reasoning behind this advice. The hot water gets rid of the bad stuff. Oil from cooking can still remain behind. By heating the skillet you allow the pores in the metal to open and accept the oil. The skillet is now a touch better seasoned than before because of this practice. Theoretically.
Boil potatoes or potato peelings in a brand new skillet before seasoning: The first time I heard this one was in the directions when I acquired my Potjie's from South Africa. I read through the seasoning recipe and the steps basically where:
- Thoroughly wash and rinse the inside.
- Cook quartered potatoes for 1 hour.
- Further steps I will elaborate on at this time.
I diligently followed the instructions. To be honest, I had no idea what the hell I was doing, and more importantly why! The thought in my head was that this boiling potato deal was doing more harm than good, and could not possibly be adding to building up an effective seasoning layer. Little did I know that I was absolutely right, but at the time, did not put much more thought into it.
It was after I acquired my carbon steel skillets that I figured out the true importance of doing this. These skillets too came with the instructions that the first step in seasoning should be to boil potato peelings for 15 minutes. It falls in line with step number 1 above: The utensil must be free of dirty oils, and manufacturing oils before starting. With my new skillets, I used dishsoap, plastic scratch pad, steel wool, and washed, rinsed, washed, rinsed, washed, rinsed…..well you get the idea. Clean, right? Well, not even close!
After boiling potato peelings for 15 minutes, the skillet had a nasty slurry of grey looking sand in the bottom Once the skillet was heated, the pores were opened, and the starchy/water mixture was able to draw out oils and dirt that I was not capable of getting to through normal washing. I fully do not understand the science behind why the starch/water mixture did this, but the experience was enough to convince me of the need to do this. So much in fact, that I did this process twice on each skillet.
Never use soap for cleaning: My understanding that your seasoning is simply a continued layering of oil. The more you use your skillet, the more robust your seasoning layer becomes. Most dish soaps are intended to break down and remove oil. Therefore, I will personally avoid using soap all together, and always have.
If that seems gross to you from a sanitary standpoint, you can look at it the same way as your barbeque grill. You do not thoroughly disinfect your grill surface between every use, but yet you put your food directly on it. It does you no harm because the heat the grill (and in this case your skillet) achieve is WAY higher than the temperatures that bacteria can withstand. Even so, if you insist on using soap, I would use the most mild type that you can find, and in very small amounts.
Never use water for cleaning: I have seen people even be so paranoid that they have taken the "never use soap" rule even further to "never use water." I have even heard it said that washing it water will cause your skillet to rust! Obviously, with the exception stated in the next tip, you should not be afraid of using water. In fact, if you had to be scared of water, you would cook nothing! Most foods have a very high water content, and if you could not contact water in your skillet, it would sit on the shelf forever
In summary, go ahead and use water for cleaning. To be more specific, use hot water.
Do not let your pan soak for extended periods: I just told you that water will not harm your precious skillet. Now, I am about to tell you that it will Despite its harmless appearance, given enough time, water can pretty much dissolve anything! Meaning that, given enough time, water will eventually break down your precious oil rich seasoning layer. Cooking times are not necessarily long enough to do damage, and if it is, there is not much you can do about it (I will give you a tip later in restoring seasoning anyway).
With that in mind, leaving your skillet sit overnight, with water in it is a big no-no. If you cooked something up really crusty, and want to use water to loosen it up, 15 minutes is sufficient. All night long is a bit over kill.
Deep fry in your new utensil for the first few uses: Absolutely! It makes perfect sense. Open metal pores, LOTS of oil, you can't go wrong! My only problem is that I don't deep fry often, and I generally want to get on with using my new cookware. Still, it is great advice.
Avoid acidic dishes for the first couple uses in your newly seasoned skillet: My answer to this one is going to be more speculation based on experience than actually understanding what is occurring.
But, my guess is the acidic nature of the food is very hard on your seasoning layer. I have witnessed this where a nicely seasoned dutch oven is set to cooking a chili for hours on end. Afterward, the oven looks less glossy, and not nearly as seasoned as before (again, there is a tip later for putting the shine back in your utensil).
My theory is that on a new utensil the seasoning layer is weaker than it will eventually be (until it gets built up further). So avoid doing things that are known to degrade it until then. Likewise, things requiring extended boiling are generally suggested to avoid as well.
The Actual Seasoning
All this talking and theory is good. But what is my recipe? In order to tell you the process I have come to like, I will restate the steps from above that I believe have to occur during the seasoning process, and then tell you what I do for each one.
1) The utensil must be free of dirty oils, and manufacturing oils before starting.
A) I wash my new utensil using the hottest water I can, dish soap, and a scrubby pad. I repeat that a couple times.
B) I use either potatoes or potato peels (depending on the size of utensil; Monster dutch oven gets potato quarters, while a skillet gets peels) to boil in the new utensil. I do this twice.
C) I use clean, hot water to rinse after the potato cooking is done.
2) The utensil must be heated. It allows the pores in the metal to open up and accept new and clean oil, which will become the base for the newly seasoned utensil.
A) I heat up the utensil, apply a layer of oil and let the oil heat for a couple minutes and allow it to enter the open pores. If my cookware is a skillet, I will do the heating on the stove top. If it is larger dutch oven, I will do it in the oven.
3) Clean oil needs to be absorbed into the open pores.
A) I kind of combined this in the previous step.
4) Excess oil needs to be removed.
A) After a couple minutes of allowing the oil to heat and enter the open pores, I simply wipe it off with a paper towel. As the utensil cools the pores will close, and the entire thing will be covered with a layer of oil. On a new utensil, I will do this heating/cooling process 2 or 3 times, then simply begin to start using it.
I used to think that the utensil needed to be kept at temperature for hours and hours, burning the thin layer of oil off. Of course this also does wonders to stink up the house That recipe is a classic recipe for seasoning cookware. However, I personally no longer think this is necessary to do that. That is mainly based on my experience of doing the method above. It seems to me that the oil is getting to where it needs to go, and creating a good seasoning layer, without large amounts being burnt off. Using that method skillets have come out slippery as glass, and working beautifully. I can't ask for any more and after all, using your utensil over and over is really what is going to make it shine for you.
Acidic dishes or extended boiling: We have already talked about how either of these things can be slightly detrimental to your seasoning. I have even seen very old, very well seasoned skillets coming out of a cooking session looking rather dull.
Combining some of the things we have talked about above can quickly restore the "snap" back into your cookware. This is what I do:
- Wash your cookware with hot water and a scrubber (no soap).
- Warm it up to dry it, rather than wiping it down.
- While your utensil is hot from being dried out, apply a layer of oil.
- Let the oil heat for a minute or two.
- Wipe out the excess oil with a paper towel.
- Allow your utensil to cool down.
When you are done with this, it should look nice and shiny and black again!
Because this aids in building up the seasoning, when I get a new piece of cookware, I will do this process for the first several times of cooking with it, regardless of what I have cooked.
Wow! That was a lot more involved than I thought it was going to be. But, if you have any of your own thoughts or experiences you want to share with me about your cookware, please do!
Thanks for reading,

With specific products for SQL Server, Windows, SharePoint and Oracle, Event Manager provides DBAs with "Outlook-style" visibility and functionality for managing SQL Agent jobs, Windows Tasks, and Oracle jobs in increasingly complex cross-platform environments. Unlike most other scheduling products, Event Manager does not require an agent to be installed and managed on each server.
The Product Overview provides you with all of the features in our tools. You can easily compare our tools and see which ones fit your organization's needs.
The SQL Sentry Overhead Analysis provides both qualitative and quantitative information about the overhead impact you should expect from SQL Sentry Event Manager and Performance Advisor.
Event Manager's Outlook-style calendar view provides a clear picture of your server event schedules - giving you unprecedented visibility and control over scheduling issues that can impact server performance. Quickly view historical and future schedule information at a glance, and easily resolve conflicts using drag-and-drop.
The event history view provides flexible sorting and grouping capabilities, color-coded status indicators, and full step-level details for multi-step jobs, DTS packages, and SSIS packages. For any multi-step job, DTS package or SSIS package, you can easily jump back in time to see how the job has performed over a certain time period. If the event fails, then you can easily see the red indicator and drill-down into it and find the reason it failed.
SQL Sentry's Event Manager employs the most comprehensive and reliable cross-platform notification system available today, providing reliable, detailed alerts as well as a variety of other response conditions for various event types. Event Manager is agent-less, fault tolerant, and uses a centralized management system which eliminates the need to touch each server.
Event Manager goes beyond the limited alerting capabilities built-in to SQL Server, Oracle, and Windows with messages that include granular, detail-level information. Event Manager alerts contain more of the information you need to quickly evaluate and resolve any condition, which can dramatically reduce response times.
Many event sources have a configurable history filter which enables control over which events are collected, displayed on the calendar, and available for alerting. Alert filters let you decide exactly which events will generate notifications, based on application, host, user, and other attributes such as only sending an alert for Top SQL failures coming from a specific host machine.
Problems with SSIS and DTS packages can be some of the most difficult to troubleshoot, because there is no easy and unified way to access detailed package log data via the native SQL Server tools. SQL Sentry makes it easy to enable detailed logging for both SSIS and DTS packages with a few clicks, and view the results on the SQL Sentry calendar and history list views alongside any other events on a server. Accessing error details for failed package steps has never been simpler!
Event Manager's advanced chaining features enable you to quickly and easily define dependencies and workflows involving SQL Agent jobs, Oracle jobs, and/or Windows tasks. You have ultimate flexibility with regard to how the chains are defined - the chained jobs or tasks can reside anywhere in the enterprise, and you can have unlimited levels per chain, as well as unlimited jobs/tasks per level.
Event Manager seamlessly integrates external event data into calendars, and gives you unprecedented visibility and control over all of the events that can impact your server performance. Event Manager supports SQL Agent jobs, Windows tasks, SharePoint timer jobs and Oracle jobs in increasingly complex cross-platform environments.
Event Manager offers many different reports to help manage your servers' job schedules. The event runtime graphs allow you to quickly visualize long-term trends on your jobs. The Gantt-style performance graphs highlight the events competing for resources and causing end-user performance problems. You can also export your event history and other list views to .HTML, .XML, or .CSV format so you can easily share them with other people in your organization.
Event runtime graphs provide both historical and aggregate views, making it easy to spot runtime trends that can be an indicator of underlying scheduling and/or resource contention issues. For example, you can see how your nightly backups are trending over the past 3 months to determine if and when they'll fall outside of your desired backup window.
The conflicts viewer shows all scheduled events on a server with overlapping runtimes, sorted descending by "Total Conflict Time" by default (the total time one event overlaps with all other events). This measure is extremely valuable in determining which events may be causing the most resource contention. You simply double-click any conflict instance to immediately jump to that spot on the calendar, and then quickly resolve the conflict using drag-and-drop.
Make smarter scheduling decisions by seeing and understanding the impact that events have on production resources, and easily eliminate schedule contention via drag-and-drop to ensure applications run at optimal levels.
While other SQL Server monitoring tools have stagnated, SQL Sentry has continued to push the envelope, introducing several industry firsts such as our patented SQL Server disk analysis, unrestricted historical performance reporting, comprehensive deadlock analysis, performance event calendars, intelligent wait analysis, and many more cutting edge features.
SQL Sentry's tools are built to be minimally invasive and incur the lowest possible hit on monitored servers via our agent-less architecture... while other SQL Server monitoring tools incur far more load than they will ever help you to resolve. Some even filter out all of their own query activity so you never see it! Don't be fooled by misleading claims of lower overhead – install SQL Sentry alongside other tools to see exactly how much of a performance hit they incur. Download our Overhead Analysis.
SQL Sentry software continually delivers more features, functionality and utility than other SQL Server software tools, at a lower price point. With subscription-based and site licensing options, the relative savings can grow even further.
SQL Sentry software undergoes intensive regression, scalability and overhead testing in our internal test lab of over 100 SQL Servers. It is then real-world tested in one of the largest SQL Server hosting environments in the U.S., until it is deemed stable enough to release to the public... no matter how long it takes. After release, our integrated, automated exception reporter gives us a perpetual feedback loop with our customers, who are continually surprised to receive a response from a real human usually within hours of submitting an exception.
Event Manager greatly reduces the amount of manual labor required to perform mundane schedule management and troubleshoot performance problems, allowing DBA's to spend more time proactively managing their servers.
SQL Sentry software is installed in some of the largest SQL Server environments in the world. Our low overhead, agent-less, site-based approach provides almost linear scalability. We have yet to meet a SQL Server environment that the SQL Sentry architecture can't handle.
SQL Sentry provides the highest level of support services you will find in the SQL Server software world. Our clients continually rave about the responsiveness and technical competence of our support team. You will never speak to a non-technical front-line person that doesn't understand SQL Server or SQL Sentry software. To the contrary, you will often be speaking directly to a development team member.
We've been a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for many years, and our customer survey results say it better than we ever could. Our marks across the board are consistently higher than other Microsoft partners. All customers fell into the "Champion" quadrant, ranking us amongst the top Microsoft ISVs in the world.

November 2014Troubleshooting SQL Server Wait StatsIn this white paper, SQL Server MVP Kevin Kline discusses the most common problems facing IT teams who focus their performance troubleshooting activities solely on wait statistics. This can serve as a useful and effective template for performance troubleshooting which you will be able to use over and over again whenever SQL Server performance is called into question. |
July 2014I Didn't Know It Could Do ThatJustin Randall begins a blog series aimed at showing our customers things they might not know about Performance Advisor and Event Manager. In this first post, Justin discusses the "Jump To" Menu, which is a context menu command that allows you to navigate from one element of the client to another while maintaining the time range of the jump off point. |
June 2014SQL Server, SharePoint & Windows Alerts: A New Take on AlertingIn this white paper, SQL Server MVP Kevin Kline discusses how the basic alerting system included with SQL Server behaves. He also shows how SQL Sentry's alerting functionality overcomes many of these limitations and those of many other alerting systems. Whether you're currently using a Windows, SharePoint, or SQL Server alerting system that you're very happy with or you're considering acquiring one, it's important to be aware of the potential limitations of that alerting system and then develop strategies to shore up those weaknesses. |
October 2012SQL Sentry v7.2 does Windows (and a whole lot more)Since releasing SQL Sentry v7 with Fragmentation Manager in May, we've been hard at work on v7.2. Development ran concurrently with Plan Explorer PRO, which was released last week. v7.2 includes two exciting new products: Performance Advisor for Windows and Event Manager for Windows. The release candidate was recently published, and you can download it from our customer portal. |
August 2011Why I Went With SQL Sentry"One of the greatest advantages you can have as a DBA is setting up a fully featured monitoring solution...Each one of these products (Performance Advisor, Event Manager, and Plan Explorer) on its own are great, but when you put them all together, it's beyond awesome. It let's you do more than just react to problems on your SQL Server, it let's you get ahead of them" says Shannon Lowder, Database Engineer |
July 2011An In-depth Analysis of SQL Sentry's OverheadOne of my first major projects at SQL Sentry was framed shortly after I joined the company: to publish an analysis of the overhead that Performance Advisor and Event Manager place on both the server(s) being monitored and on the server(s) doing the monitoring. Every vendor wants to sell you on the "zero impact" and "no footprint" lines, but we all know that it is not possible for you to accurately measure performance on a server without also causing at least some performance degradation by virtue of performing said monitoring. So what does "zero impact" really mean in those cases? |
April 2011SQL Sentry v6.1: Something Old, Several Things NewSince releasing v6 a couple of months ago, we've been hard at work on some cool new features for v6.1. Our x.1 releases are usually comprised mostly of fixes for bugs not caught during the major release (x.0) beta, and a few new features. This x.1 release is different in that contains many exciting and high impact new features, and a higher feature:fix ratio than normal. This is likely due to the lengthy v6 beta, as well as some new QA processes we've put in place. |
SQL Sentry Version 7 offers significant new features including integrated index analysis and defrag, mirroring monitoring and much more. We've also completely re-architected our alerting and notification functionality.
This video provides an overview of Event Manager, including the shared groups' global calendar view. Calendar views are available for any server or group of servers, and can be easily customized to fit your organization's needs.
The SQL Sentry Power Suite provides a complete performance monitoring and optimization solution for Microsoft SQL Server by combining both Performance Advisor for SQL Server and Event Manager.
Event Manager employs the most comprehensive and reliable notification system available for SQL Server, providing a wide variety of response actions to any job status, runtime or performance condition.

Thief makes off with reptiles from Fresno museum
Boa constrictor is 7-feet long
FRESNO, Calif. -
A Fresno science museum is missing a boa constrictor, two ball pythons and a monitor lizard after a vandal broke in and made off with the reptiles.
Discovery Center Director Mary Ellen Wright says workers discovered the theft on Thursday morning. The unidentified suspect apparently broke in overnight.
Surveillance video shows the thief grabbing a plastic trash bag and throwing the reptiles in. The suspect also went into the center's gift shop and took children's toys, the phone system and the security monitor.
Wright tells the Fresno Bee the reptiles are mortal enemies, and she is worried about their conditions.
The boa constrictor is 7 feet long. The pythons are 3 feet and the lizard 3 and 1/2 feet.
The Bee reports that they are worth hundreds of dollars.

Hays Medical Center recently competed the remodel of Dreiling/Schmidt Cancer Center Institute.
The remodeled space is comprised of four additional treatment rooms and two additional exam rooms, as well as a patient library and a spacious image boutique.
Medical oncology and radiation oncology now are in the same location as opposed to being split.
"Some patients had to run from one place to another," said Dr. Babu Prasad, radiation oncologist. "Many patients need both radiation and chemotherapy, so it's nice for them both to be in one place."
The exam rooms have increased to allow for a greater number of patients.
"I expect to see more patients in the future," said Dr. January Fields, medical oncologist. "We've gotten a lot of new space and technology with the redesign."
Fields said patients seem to enjoy the new color scheme and modernized look.
"Patients seem to like it very much," she said. "The patients say the colors are very calming and therapeutic."
The renovated space is made to include room for a pharmacist.
"The pharmacist no longer has to mix treatment in the pharmacy and bring it here," Fields said. "Everything is much more convenient."
The Pyxis MedStation system also is given its own room. Pyxis is an automated dispensing system that is used to dispense supplies such as gloves and Kleenex.
"That technology didn't exist when the old cancer center was designed," Prasad said. "We're very happy about the new space."
Prasad said the new space eventually will allow for Stereotactic Radiation. Funding is not yet available since the technology would cost $4 million to implement, but Prasad estimates funds should be raised within the next year.
"Some patients receiving conventional treatment need it over a period of seven to nine weeks," he said. "With Stereotactic capabilities, we would be able to reduce the treatment time to one week. The patients receive large doses of radiation during a short period of time. Side effects are comparable to traditional treatment, but it's easier on the patient to not have to miss work for so long."
The treatment would cost more per week, but with the patient spending less time in the hospital, the cost might be less.
"Regular treatment may cost $60,000 for seven to nine weeks," Prasad said. "Stereotactic may only cost $23,000, so there is a considerable cost savings."
While the cancer center always has stored wigs, hats and scarves, the Image Boutique was expanded to include a more personable experience.
"The boutique is used for all lady cancer patients who need some type of head covering," said Stephanie Niblock, cancer service coordinator. "We've always had a wig room, but nothing this fancy."
The Image Boutique does not charge for any of the head coverings.
"There is no cost for any of this stuff," Niblock said. "Patients check it out, and once they don't need it, they bring it back."
In addition, the new space includes a central reception area, larger consultation areas, private treatment options and computers to occupy patients while receiving treatments.
The "Leaves of Life" sculpture also has been moved to a larger space. The oak and brass wall sculpture contains engraved leafs with names of those who have battled cancer.
It was created in 2007 by local artist James Mages. Leafs can be purchased for $250 each, and all funds raised go toward equipment, programs and services.

If les runs the ball half u morans on here say he is to conservative come on man give me a break a jr. high QB could have made that throw. I bet if u ask mett he would agree
quote:I disagree, more than half on here would have been lambasting him for trying to run out the clock instead of playing to win the game.
quote:I love him, but he is hurting this program
quote: no coach is to blame.
quote:It's amazing how some of you worship at the altar of Miles. Pray tell, what did he do for you? Running out the clock is playing to win the game when you're WINNING.
quote:My opinion of Miles' character was lowered last year with the treatment of Lee. This year solidified my negative opinion of him as a game day coach.
quote:I think he's one of the top three recruiters in the country
quote:If you want a shot at a dynasty, then Les isn't your guy.
quote:We all know exactly what we have in Les Miles. The problem is that far too many are "Satisfied" with what we got, especially the weakness in the Athletic Directors office.

Get customized GIS help with an Esri partner solution.
Our educational licenses offer unique programs that allow schools to acquire GIS software.
Effectively managing a school district requires a geographic perspective and geographic tools.
Geographic information ranges in scale from the community and its characteristics to the micro geography of a school and its components. Students, for instance, have geographic locations, including home addresses, homeroom numbers, and the buses they ride, and unique characteristics such as Student Information System (SIS) standards of grade level, subjects, grades, attendance, test scores, lunch programs, and special needs.
Operating schools and districts also requires overseeing buildings and grounds, ensuring safety, and transporting students and materials. Doing so efficiently requires integrating and sharing information for better planning and decision making. How does GIS provide solutions to help administrators accomplish these goals?

So Autodesk are at it again with a complete update of all their product line for Media and Entertainment. The update for Maya looks very good, with multi-threading in nucleus - a big plus! Check out the video at the top of this page - it shows the work being done on liquids . The viewport technology begun with viewport 2.0 in 2011. Obviously it was not that great in 2011 but it's a different story with this new 2012 version. All the good stuff is now in there: screen based ambient occlusion, motion blur, depth of field, they are all in the viewport.
3ds Max has had a good update as well, with great links to Alias Design tools. The nitrous core is also a new viewport bit of tech, and uses the GPU more and more as part of the XBR iniative. Max is looking to update and change!
MotionBuilder also looks solid, but I wish that Matchmover and Composite had more attention. They need to be improved. Xsi's face robot looks great and is now given with the product. It's also included with the Maya and Max suites, with single click interopeability between all the packages. So Maya and Max users now have access to the lagoa physics engine... Very nice.
Mudbox has Ptex support, which is fantastic! Shame we can only view it in the new viewport 2.0 in maya and not render it in MentalRay... I know, it's coming, but come on! Some of the plugins included look great but there's no core updates.
Overall, I think it's a great release of tools but how many apps can one individual remember or learn?...

Barbecue memories
By Crystal Baity
Ask Dr. David Ginty about living in Greenville and he remembers the camaraderie of the Brody School of Medicine, along with Venters biscuits and B's barbecue.
"I must have gained 20 pounds while I was living there. The food was so good," said Ginty, who has a picture of B's in his home office in Baltimore.
He lived off N.C. 33 in a big farmhouse with little insulation, several roommates and his dog. "We'd set an alarm to wake up and put firewood in the stove," he said.
He arrived in 1984, originally from Connecticut, having just finished an undergraduate degree at Mount Saint Mary's College in Maryland.
"I was interested in not being too far away and interested in physiology," Ginty said. "They gave me a chance. I liked that part of the country and the idea of living there for five years, so it was perfect."
After graduating from East Carolina University's medical school with a doctorate in physiology, Ginty was a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School in Boston, studying development of the nervous system and, in particular, the mechanism of action of nerve growth factor.
He later joined Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he is a professor of neuroscience, oversees the neuroscience graduate program and is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, an honor bestowed only on the best of the best, said Dr. Edward R. Seidel, ECU professor of physiology.
In Seidel's lab, Ginty focused on the role of polyamines in cellular proliferation.
"He was the hardest-working student I've ever had in my lab," Seidel said. "He came in by 8 a.m. and rarely went home before 9 at night. He truly enjoyed working in the lab and was completely devoted to it."
Ginty said Seidel "provided the right amount of independence and guidance," which gave him confidence to tackle problems as he matured as a scientist.
"Of all the people I've worked with in 25 years, he stood out," Ginty said of Seidel. "He was far and away my most influential colleague not only at ECU but elsewhere."
Ginty has tried to emulate Seidel's style of thinking and creativity when working with his own students.
"It was Ed's enthusiasm and approach to science and life," he said. "It was invigorating. He really motivated us to look further and try harder."
Ginty is internationally known for his work on how neurons track to the places they were meant to travel in the brain and peripheral nervous system during embryological life.
"My mission is to understand how nerve cells in the developing brain form their proper connections with one another in order to generate functional circuits," Ginty said.
His research on the nervous system is examining sensory neurons, the nerve cells that detect touch, pain, temperature or itch, how they develop and form, and give rise to the sense of touch.
The research could lead to a better understanding of diseases afflicting patients with nerve damage, including diabetic and chemotherapy-related neuropathies, and neurodegenerative disorders like ALS and Alzheimer's disease.
Ginty has been recognized with a Pew Scholars Award, the Klingenstein Foundation Award in Neuroscience, Alfred P. Sloan Research Award, the Jacob Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award by the National Institutes of Health, as well as by the March of Dimes and American Cancer Society.
His time at ECU reflects in his teaching today.
"People really cared and discussed ideas and helped me grow tremendously," Ginty said. "The environment was nurturing. People were generous and shared their time and expertise. It led to the style and approach I take in my own lab."
Brody Class of 2010 graduates
Top, from left, Geniene and Jamande Jones and Catherine Loflin pose for a photo May 8, 2010, following the Brody School of Medicine convocation at Wright Auditorium. Sixty-six medical students received their degrees at the event. During their senior year in medical school, the Joneses married during a mission trip to Zambia. Dr. Tom Irons, professor of pediatrics, performed the ceremony on the banks of the Zambezi River.
Brody sends 58 percent into primary care residencies
Neel Thomas, left, celebrates the news that he'll be heading to Wake Forest University for a residency in anesthesiology.
Thomas was one of 65 Brody School of Medicine students who participated in Match Day on March 18, 2010. Thirteen of them -– the same number as last year – are entering family medicine residencies. Eleven are entering some type of internal medicine residency. Nine students are entering pediatric residency programs, and five are entering obstetrics and gynecology. Those numbers equal 58 percent of the students participating in the match.
The class of 2010 was accepted into institutions in 18 states in 17 specialties. The Brody School of Medicine and PCMH will be home to 15 class members. Thirty-one graduates will stay in North Carolina.
Susan Morgan will be studying obstetrics and gynecology at Ohio State University. "I've loved it here, and I'm going to miss it here a lot, but I'm very excited to be going somewhere completely different," she said, adding she will especially miss Pirate football games.
Before the first student's name was called to come get an envelope with the match letter, Dr. Paul R.G. Cunningham, dean of the Brody School of Medicine, spoke. "You are cut from the Brody cloth. Remember to lead," he said.
Alumni deaths
Dr. Katherine Bray-Strickland, a 2009 graduate of the Brody School of Medicine, died Feb. 10, 2010, after a lengthy struggle with cancer. She was 27 and a family medicine resident at ECU.
Bray-Strickland is survived by her husband, David, and parents, Paul and Dr. Emily Bray, a faculty member at Brody. She posthumously received the new Young Alumni Award at the 2010 alumni weekend event in September. The award will be named in her memory.
Dr. Linda Miller died March 31, 2010, of cancer. She was 54. A 1999 graduate of the Brody School of Medicine, Miller completed residency training in psychiatric medicine at ECU and PCMH and practiced as a child psychiatrist in eastern North Carolina. Miller had bachelor's and master's degrees in textile engineering from N.C. State University and worked in that field and as a volunteer emergency medical technician before entering medical school.
Miller is survived by her husband, Donald, two daughters, a brother and other relatives.
Dr. Anna W. Hudson died Sept. 18, 2010, of cancer. She was 30. She was a 2008 graduate of the Brody School of Medicine and a family medicine resident at ECU.
Hudson is survived by her husband, Keith, her parents, two sisters and other relatives.

Emma Roberts strolled back to her car in Beverly Hills, California on July 2, 2012 chatting on her cell phone after a day out in the city. Emma did not look happy to see her Range Rover had a ticket on the front window. Added more Neutrogena Wave for Change campaign photoshoot! Also check out a behind the scenes video below plus captures.
Besties and former Scream 4 castmates Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts kicked off their summers by launching the Neutrogena Wave for Change campaign, a philanthropic initiative in its third year that supports U.S. educational charities. This year, its goal is to raise $250,000 for Global Giving, which helps children receive an education.
Education is a topic close to both the stars' hearts — and one they take very seriously. "It's the basis of life, it's the basis of people," Panettiere tells PEOPLE. "It's the basis of success, it's the basis of art, it's the basis of what makes the world go 'round."
Something they take less seriously, however? Summer! "I try to find a pool," reveals Roberts. "And definitely use sunscreen because I'm the palest person on the planet."
As far as summer style goes, the duo are opposites. "I'm really into wedges," says Roberts, while Panettiere prefers the easy, breezy natural look. "I love that you can just throw on a bathing suit and a blousy boho dress and feel comfortable," she admits.
Both actresses can agree on one thing, though: their beauty must-have, Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock. "It cools you down and it feels so good," says Panettiere. "It doesn't leave the streaky ugly white stain. It keeps you moist, fresh and cool."
To help Neutrogena reach its quarter-million-dollar goal, watch the Wave for Change video or activate your eligible Neutrogena purchase at Neutrogena.com or Neutrogena's Facebook page. One dollar will be donated for each video watched or product registered.

Parents are fundamental to the development of their children. The government has set an ambitious aim in its Children's Plan 'to make England the best place in the world for children and young people to grow up'. The Children's Plan recognizes that parents need help and support to support their children's development. Also, and importantly, parents need support for themselves as parents. Parenting is complex and challenging, made more so by the changing nature of our society. Parents from disadvantaged backgrounds face even more challenge. However, the government recognizes the need to support parents, 'to do more to back parents and families'. Supporting parents may take many forms and have different aims. These include actions to improve parents' abilities to know about, access and exercise their rights and entitlements. Parents may be involved in order to improve services, for example by providing a parental perspective, and some parents may require support to undertake such a role. Parents may also benefit from support to enable them, in turn, to support their children's development. In addition, support may be designed to help parents as parents not specifically as agents of change for the children but more for their own sakes: even so, such support may have positive knock on effects on their children. This report presents the evidence of the evaluation of the Parent Support Adviser Pilot. This was a DCSF funded programme over the period September 2006 - July 2008 at a cost of £40 million in DCSF grant payments to 20 local authorities (LAs). Authorities were funded to employ PSAs, for their training and for the infrastructure to support the development of the service. The DCSF worked with the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA): the DCSF was the lead department for the policy and financial framework, the TDA allocated funding to LAs and worked with authorities to develop the PSA role, including an initial training package and the Support Work in Schools (Parent Support) level 3 qualification. The TDA also took the lead in disseminating practice. The main aims of the study were to examine the characteristics of the PSA service that was developed during the pilot and the evidence for its effectiveness. The study drew upon a range of evidence from the four phases of the study: i) from a database designed to collect data on all parents supported by PSAs; ii) interviews with LA strategic leads (n = 20 interviews), PSA co-ordinators (n = 24), PSAs (n = 245 in total over three phases), line managers (144 at two phases), other professionals (23) and parents (n = 105); a survey of line managers during the final phase (n = 603, a response rate of 51.8%). Finally, data on attendance and number of pupils identified as having behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD) were used to compare schools with a PSA and those without this support. This is the final report of the evaluation; details of the two interim reports are provided at the end of the Executive Summary. The report provides an overview of the whole study but focuses mainly on evidence gathered during the final phase of the pilot and analysis of School Census data available by spring 2009.

Harmonix has revealed that British metal gods Judas Priest will be assaulting the ears of all Rock Band players next week with the release of a live recording of the band's critically acclaimed 'British Steel' album.
The tracks have been plucked straight from the band's British Steel 30th Anniversary tour which saw the group travelling across North America and Japan to packed venues last summer.
Priest fans (ourselves included) will no doubt have an idea of what to expect, but for those who aren't, take a butcher's at the track list below:
·Breaking the Law
·Rapid Fire
·Metal Gods
·Living After Midnight
·You Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise
·The Rage
The track pack will be released in North America on May 11 and will arrive in Europe the following day. PSN users can expect to fork out $1.99 USD for individual tracks or pay $14.99 USD for the whole lot.

(AP) -- Porn sites are closer to getting their own address on the Internet.
India's fraud office will file charges this month against the founder of outsourcer Satyam after he admitted to falsifying profits in the nation's biggest corporate fraud, a minister said Monday.
According to a new study, corporate directors, who are ultimately responsible for internal whistle-blowing systems, often do not take action at all regarding anonymous allegations, even when the allegation involves very serious ...
(Phys.org) —Corporate fraud dominates financial news, yet few studies have looked at whether chief executive officers who appoint their own top lieutenants are more inclined to act illegally, according ...
India's fraud-hit Satyam announced Wednesday a loss of 27.6 million dollars for the last fiscal year as it reported its first earnings since an accounting scandal pushed the firm to the edge of bankruptcy.
The disgraced founder of Indian outsourcing giant Satyam appeared in court Tuesday in a billion-dollar corporate fraud case dubbed "India's Enron".

Located in the Emil R. Weiss Center for the Arts, the museum houses the college's collection of art and anthropological artifacts, which spans ancient through contemporary periods. The collection comprises thousands of objects, with particular strengths in American and European prints from the 19th through 20th centuries, as well as photography, West African sculpture, Asian art, and Native American and Oceanic objects.
The Trout Gallery was founded in 1983 by sisters Ruth A. Trout (class of 1936) and Helen E. Trout, in honor of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brook Trout. It serves the Dickinson College and central-Pennsylvania community through the collection, preservation, display, and interpretation of works from its permanent collection, in conjunction with temporary exhibitions from lending institutions.
