Treating Troubled Children and Their Families
Synopses & Reviews
Drawing on clinical insights from family systems thinking, psychodynamic play therapy, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives, this significant new work presents an innovative approach to therapeutic work with young children and their families. The author brings a thoroughly integrative orientation to bear in her understanding of how parents and children get entangled in patterns that cause grief to both generations. Her approach--"child-in-family" therapy--although steeped in the systems outlook, offers a thorough consideration of the unique characteristics of the child in trouble and the specific developmental obstacles that he or she faces. This strategy enhances family therapy at times when a child's difficulties begin to take on a life of their own, and also brings the power of family systems thinking to individual efforts to help young children in trouble.
Beginning with an introduction to the author's methods, the first chapter sets forth a rationale for combining the most valuable aspects of systems therapy with individual psychotherapy approaches. With much clinical detail, the book first explains how to effectively conduct meetings with parents alone, emphasizing ways to draw out parents' concerns about their children and distinguish distortions and projections from true observations. The author also demonstrates the use of a valuable element from family therapy--a positive orientation that helps parents notice their children's strengths. In addition to offering specific guidance on how to conduct family sessions with very young children, Ellen Wachtel gives family therapists the tools they need to begin including individual sessions with children as part and parcel of family therapy. She also shares with readers numerous concrete suggestions on how to interact with young children in ways that foster emotional expressiveness.
In step-by-step detail, this book demonstrates how therapists can organize and evaluate the information gleaned through the different sessions so that the child is neither pathologized nor too readily pronounced "fine." Active interventions based on psychodynamic formulations are utilized to address such individual issues as the child's oversensitivity to criticism, low self-esteem, poor relationships with peers, and conflicts around aggression. Interventions based on behavioral formulations are also described in detail. In the final chapter, the author presents five case studies that clearly illustrate the clinical use of the concepts and applications described. She shows how interventions at the family system level must be complemented by interventions that focus on the child. These include not only the use of play and other projective methods for bringing to light the child's issues, but also active efforts to work with the child on changing his or her behavior.
Clinically sophisticated, humane, comprehensive, and powerfully integrative, this volume represents a major leap forward in our ability to help troubled children and their families. Presenting a ground-breaking new approach that combines the best elements from family systems thinking and individual therapy, the book is an invaluable resource for all professionals.

Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Drawing on clinical insights from family systems thinking, psychodynamic play therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, the author examines how parents and children get entangled in patterns that cause grief to both generations. Her "child-in-family" therapy approach is steeped in the systems perspective, yet offers a consideration of the unique characteristics of the child in trouble and the specific developmental obstacles he or she faces.
Integrating systemic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives, this acclaimed book presents an innovative framework for therapeutic work. Ellen Wachtel shows how parents and children all too often get entangled in patterns that cause grief to both generations, and demonstrates how to help bring about change with a combination of family-focused and child-focused interventions. Vivid case examples illustrate creative ways to engage young children in family sessions and conduct complementary sessions with children and parents alone, using a variety of strengths-based, developmentally informed strategies. The paperback edition features a new preface in which the author reflects on the continuing evolution of her approach.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 287-296) and index.

The suspect was reportedly killed after exchanging gunfire with police.
Nearly a dozen people lost their lives on Friday afternoon after a gunman opened fire at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center in Virginia. The unnamed suspect has been described as a longtime and current employee of the city and "indiscriminately" took the lives of the innocent. Police have stated that at this time they haven't discovered a motive behind the shooting and are holding onto the suspect's identity.
The shooting occurred in Building 2 of the Center that holds offices including those of public works, communications, traffic engineering, and public utilities. As police entered the building, they exchanged fire with the suspect and the shooter was killed at the scene. The six survivors of the shooting were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. One person is reportedly being treated at a level one trauma center.
Mayor Bobby Dyer said, "This is the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach." Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam told reporters, "Our thoughts are for these victims and their families. And we're one with our law enforcement, our first responders, the hospital, and making sure that we're taking care of everybody right now."
People all over the world have shared their prayers and condolences to the victims and their families of this tragedy, including Pharrell Williams who recently hosted his "Something in the Water" festival in his hometown of Virginia Beach. "We are praying for our city, the lives that were lost, their families and everyone affected," Pharrell tweeted. "We are resilient. We will not only get through this but we’ll come out of this stronger than before we always do.#VIRGINIABEACH"

Katy Perry Accepts Best Look EMA - http://t.co/upJjgBrpsQ- MTV EMA (@mtvema) November 9, 2014
Leave it to Katy Perry to make us feel better about ourselves while accepting an award for the fact that SHE is picture perfect.
The pop star received the award for "Best Look" at the MTV EMAs over the weekend, beating out fashion heavy-hitters Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Taylor Swift and Rita Ora.
Since she's busy globe-trotting for her Prismatic World Tour, Katy could not be in Glasgow, Scotland to accept the award in person, but she sent this amazing video.
Dressed in a sequined cat t-shirt (who knew they even made those?) Katy delivered what might be one of our favorite acceptance speeches of all time.
"Wow, I didn't even know this was a category," she began. "I would just like to say thank you to my mom and dad, who gave me this look...based on genes. My makeup artist, who I sit in the makeup chair for about FIVE hours because I don't wake up like this. Obviously you know that, you have the internet."
There should seriously be an award for "Most Endearing," too...because we'd totally give it to Katy.

Stunning cast announced for My Fair Lady at the Playhouse this Christmas
The stunning cast has been announced for the Bartlett Sher’s critically acclaimed and multi award-winning production of Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady, playing its only Scottish dates in Edinburgh this Christmas opening on the 14th December for a strictly limited season.
Two-time Olivier Award nominee Michael D. Xavier (Outlander, Sunset Boulevard) will play Henry Higgins. Charlotte Kennedy (Les Miserables) will star as Eliza Doolittle. Charlotte is currently performing in the ensemble and as first cover Eliza in the show at the London Coliseum.
Best known for playing Ian Beale in EastEnders, Adam Woodyatt will play Alfred P. Doolittle and Falkirk born and raised Heather Jackson (The Phantom of the Opera) will reprise her role as Mrs Higgins which she is currently playing at the London Coliseum.
John Middleton (Ashley Thomas from Emmerdale) will play Colonel Pickering. Lesley Garrett (The Singer, The Lesley Garrett Show) will play Mrs Pearce and Tom Liggins will play Freddy Eynsford-Hill. Tom is currently first cover Freddy in the show in London, which marked his West End debut.
As part of a UK tour, My Fair Lady will delight theatre-goers this festive season, making its Scottish premiere at The Playhouse Theatre in Edinburgh on December 14 and playing through to January 7.
Directed by Bartlett Sher, this sublime production, which premiered in the spring of 2018 at Lincoln Center’s Vivian Beaumont Theater, was the winner of the Tony Award for Best Costume Design, 5 Outer Critics’ Circle Awards including Best Musical Revival, the Drama League Award for Outstanding Musical Revival, and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Musical Revival and Costume Design.
My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady”. But who is really being transformed?
With a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, My Fair Lady boasts a score including the classic songs “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “Get Me to the Church on Time,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” “On the Street Where You Live,” “The Rain in Spain,” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face.”
The New York Times said: “Thrilling! Glorious and better than it ever was! A marvellous and transformative revival.”Adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s play and Gabriel Pascal’s motion picture Pygmalion, Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady premiered on Broadway in March 1956, winning 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical, and becoming the longest-running musical in Broadway history at the time.
My Fair Lady has seen many notable revivals and adaptations, including the acclaimed 1964 film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, which won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Most recently on the London stage, Cameron Mackintosh’s 2001 revival at Theatre Royal Drury Lane won three Olivier Awards, and later toured across the UK and Ireland in 2005.

The other type of paid surveys CashCrate features are targeted surveys, which are available only to you and people who meet your demographic profile. It's very important that you fill out your profile on CashCrate right when you sign-up. Not only will you earn $.50 instantly, you'll also be eligible to receive these special surveys. So why are they so great? First, they'll often pay more than Daily Surveys. That means when you see one available, you should jump on it right away.
Unlike many sites, Valued Opinions doesn’t offer you the chance to take cash rewards, at the moment limiting users to retail vouchers and gift cards. Electronic vouchers are usually with you within 24 hours but gift cards can take four to six weeks to arrive in the post. Once $10 has been earned, you can claim Amazon vouchers, Macy’s gift cards and Visa promo codes, among many other reward options dependant on your location. Surveys are said to be varied, but the gift card options less so, so check they are for stores you’ll want to shop in before you tot up lots of points.
Sign up today to join 3 million members worldwide, all earning credit, sharing their opinions and telling companies what they think. You could be one of them. Fill out our short registration form now, activate your account and start earning rewards from top brands including Amazon.com, Target and Macy’s! Your first survey and reward will be waiting for you.
This is where it can all go downhill quickly. In the pressure to make as many pennies out of a nickel, a lot of research corporations will not just sell your answers but the data associated with it. Details that you provide when taking paid surveys such as your name, address, age range can all be attached together quickly to fulfill a lot of larger companies' requests for information (RFI).
The free site screens you when you sign up, asking a range of questions so you can be sent the surveys which will be suitable for you. You can also join up with a social media account like Facebook or LinkedIn instead of using your email address. Filling out surveys for money with Opinion Outpost will first give you Opinion Points – with 10 points worth $1. Most surveys will take between 10 and 30 minutes and are worth anything from $1 to $5. Typical survey time is around 15 minutes, and participants are also entered into quarterly prize draws, touted to be for $10,000! However some people think their surveys don’t come around often enough, and completing some surveys will enter you into prize draws rather than paying out cash.
It’s never a good idea to write false information on your paid survey account or sign up for paid surveys that don’t match your characteristics. For example, if a paid survey is looking for a NASA aerospace engineer who is also a competitive food eater and has won the tour de France twice it isn’t a smart idea to claim to match those parameter (unless you really do). Paid survey companies often share information and if you have taken paid surveys for another company under the pretenses that you are a newly graduated software developer in Brighton, chances are that they will notice the discrepancies and you might be penalised for it. There have been a few cases of people having their paid survey account banned and all their hard earned money revoked for providing false information on a paid survey. It’s also not a good idea to register two email accounts for taking paid surveys because many paid survey panels frown upon this sort of behavior and may even ban you from taking their paid surveys.
Paid surveys are a great way to start earning consistent money from CashCrate. Get paid for sharing your opinion. Surveys are an opportunity to earn money every day--that never goes away! There are two types of paid surveys you'll find on CashCrate, in this guide we're going to briefly discuss each and how you can fully take advantage of these money making opportunities.
My favorites are my survey and my points. Time consuming yes but if you can some how multitask the work a bit. I use to like doing them while sitting next to the hubby while he was watching his favorite sci-fi shows. Or if I was having a energy low in the afternoon I would put my feet up and do a few surveys. I still do the click thru emails for my points but have stopped doing survey’s this year due to being in a different season of life right now than I once was.
Convenience: 4.5/5.0 – While the sign up form is easy to fill out, you will have to enter more information about yourself up-front than other survey companies ask for. Typically, you just need to enter your email address and create a password to join, but Ipsos also requires your name and physical address. We only gave a slightly lower rating for this because the sign-up process is still very quick and painless.
What I like about them is they also run focus groups in the San Diego area. I signed up to receive phone calls and get them. I have little ones at home so it doesn’t quite work out for me to attend right now, but they do pay well. They were looking for adult men once to attend a focus group about food, and I shared the info with a friend’s husband who was out of work and made $80 in 2 hours with them at the focus group.
Swagbucks: The best part of this site is how easy it is to cash out. Save up your points if you want, or redeem for a $1, $3 or $5 Amazon Gift Card right away! Get paid $0.50 to $50 per survey, depending on how long it takes you, plus a $3 bonus for signing up. Swagbucks will also pay you to watch videos, try products, shop online, and even search the web. Go here to sign up.
In the middle of all of this is a new breed of research corporation that relies on you – the survey taker – to determine this information. For your time? Many survey companies will pay you to take surveys for money or for other cash alternatives like gift cards or physical prizes and rewards. It depends upon the company as to whether they'll offer money or other offers and special deals.
They claim to also offer paid product testing opportunities. But it’s not really paid product testing, but more of getting cash back. Basically, besides surveys, you can purchase products and services through their portal and earn a certain amount of cash back for every dollar you spend. If you were going to buy something already, it’s a great way to get some of the cash back. But don’t just buy something because of the cashback.
Rewards vary based on the survey type and the company conducting the survey. You may get paid online through PayPal or a Visa gift card, or get free products so that you can try them and provide feedback. To get the best out of online surveys, it is recommended you join several websites (10 to 20) so as to give you sufficient invitations daily at the best time frame. Regularly check your email and be honest while giving your opinion. Don’t give up if you don’t get selected for a survey after the first screening process, as it will take a while before you get selected based on your demographic.
First, thank you for providing this extensive list. I wanted to offer a quick follow up. After reading your post I decided to give Survey Junkie a try and I’ve already closed the account. Yes, I can tell it’s well organized and it is definitely a user-friendly platform. The problems I experienced were first that not one of the surveys they emailed me about were available. I did, however, complete several surveys from the site itself and I found them to be lengthy – in itself, not a problem but 3 out of 5 told me I didn’t qualify after I’d already invested 10 – 12 minutes filling out the forms. They got more than enough information from me to be useful which is an old and highly unethical trick in market research – which happens to be my background. All in all a LOT of wasted time.
Hi! I'm Jeff. A personal finance nerd and entrepreneur at heart, I'm here to bring you all the latest cool ways to make and save extra money. I've been quoted in several online publications, including Entrepreneur, GoBankingRates, Student Loan Hero, Business.com, Credit Karma, The Simple Dollar, US News & World Report, Lifehacker, MSN Money, Moneyish, Zumper, IdeaMensch, Discover Bank, PrimeRates, Credit.com, Yahoo! Finance, Club Thrifty, Guru Focus, Rent Track, Fit Small Business, Coupon Chief, and more.
If you're looking to make money by completing surveys online – this site will not be very helpful for you. Like the previous sites, they will take, retain, and sell your information to anyone that waves a dollar in their faces. UNLIKE previous sites reviewed, they hide their consent for that information. It's buried. So not only do you make silly reward points that don't translate to cash but every third party service and product solicitor has your personal information.
Sometimes survey invitation links direct you to other survey companies, rather than keeping things in-house, which can feel a bit like spam. As is common in the industry, you can sometimes get stuck filling out lengthy qualifying questions which take up to 30 minutes just to see if you’re eligible for a survey. Needless to say if you find out you are not then this is extremely frustrating.
Survey Junkie makes it quick and easy to jump into the survey game. According to their websites, they say they are the “most popular spot online to earn cash and rewards for sharing your thoughts,” while that might not be technically true, they are one of the largest survey sites out there. They were launched all the way back in 2005 (which is pretty old for a survey site) and they have over 4,000,000 members.

My heart is faintly beating, slowly beating,
—– And the greeting-
Of each new day is but a task that I at dawn-
Take up anew.
And I wonder onward lonely, growing weary,
And more lonely.
Since fate must ever lead an empty road-
Away from you.
The road winds on before me, it would lure me;
And would tempt me.
But my heart shall never listen and it-
Calls to me in vain.
For your love is ever with me, ever comforting,
And the memories of your sweetness are-
My roses in the rain!! …

Dike, IA – Jon Espenscheid Killed in Golf-Cart Crash on Country Club Ln
Dike, IA (May 20, 2021) – A man operating a golf cart was killed following a collision in Dike on Saturday, May 15.
The deadly accident occurred at the 300 block of Country Club Lane at around 12:49 p.m. Local reports revealed that 56-year-old Jon Espenscheid was driving across the roadway in a golf cart in order to enter a golf course. It was at that time that Espencheid was hit by a southbound SUV.
Espenscheid sustained critical injuries and was taken to Sartori Hospital before being transferred to the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. He was later pronounced dead by attending medical personnel. No other injuries were reported.
An ongoing investigation into the deadly crash is currently underway.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Jon Espenscheid at this time.
Deadly Golf-Car Crashes in Iowa
Golf carts are great recreational and leisure vehicles, but they provide little protection for riders in the event of a collision. Since 1990, the number of golf-cart accidents has increased by nearly 300%. In the span of 30 years, the number of serious crashes involving golf carts taking place annually increased from 5,000 accidents to nearly 15,000 requiring treatment at emergency rooms.

Our Des Moines wrongful death attorneys protect the rights of everyday people — not big companies. You shouldn’t go up against a big insurance company or try to outsmart their team of adjusters.
You shouldn’t be fooled into thinking you can deal with this kind of case on your own.

We have been helping claimants pursue Iowa wrongful death claims for more than 40 years, and we know what needs to be done for a successful case.

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Madison County (McDermott, J.), rendered January 5, 2010, upon a verdict convicting defendant of the crimes of manslaughter in the first degree, assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Lahtinen, J.
Calendar Date: May 23, 2011
Before: Peters, J.P., Spain, Lahtinen, Malone Jr. and McCarthy, JJ.
The background facts are set forth more fully in our decision reversing defendant's conviction after her first trial (64 AD3d 1002 , lv denied 13 NY3d 860 ). Briefly, the acrimonious relationship of defendant and her paramour was marked by each individual frequently assailing the other verbally and physically. During the course of one of their many disagreements, defendant stabbed her paramour in the back with a butcher knife as he was kneeling on the floor. After giving varying stories to rescue personnel and police, she eventually testified at trial that she intended only to "poke" him enough to scare him. He died as a result of the injury. Upon retrial after reversal, a jury convicted defendant of manslaughter in the first degree, assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree. She was sentenced, as a predicate felon, to concurrent prison terms of 20 years and five years of postrelease supervision for manslaughter and assault, and 3 to 6 years for criminal possession of a weapon. Defendant appeals.
We consider first defendant's argument that County Court erred in not granting her request to give the jury a justification charge. "This instruction is appropriate where, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the defendant, a jury, based upon any reasonable view of the evidence, could decide that the defendant's actions were justified" (People v Vecchio, 240 AD2d 854, 855  [citations omitted]). As relevant here, when a defendant employs deadly physical force, the defendant must reasonably believe that the victim is using or about to use deadly physical force (see Penal Law § 35.15  [a]; People v Goetz, 68 NY2d 96, 106 ). There are both subjective and objective components to the justification defense (see People v Umali, 10 NY3d 417, 425 , cert denied ___ US ___, 129 S Ct 1595 ).
Initially, we note that defendant employed deadly physical force as she admitted stabbing the victim with sufficient force for the knife to penetrate into his back, and he died as a result of that stab wound. Defendant testified at trial that, on the evening of the stabbing, the victim had called her vulgar names, pushed and slapped her, and thrown foot powder in her face. On cross-examination, she acknowledged that the victim had not threatened her with any type of dangerous instrument or indicated that he planned to use deadly physical force against her. Defendant agreed that the victim did not possess a dangerous instrument during the evening and her own testimony failed to demonstrate that she believed the victim posed an imminent risk of using deadly physical force on her. She nevertheless approached the victim from behind, stabbing him in the back as he was unarmed and on his hands and knees looking for something on the floor. In light of the proof at trial, County Court did not err in refusing to charge justification (see People v Artica, 39 AD3d 1186, 1187 ; People v Vecchio, 240 AD2d at 855).
Defendant asserts that County Court improvidently exercised its discretion when it ruled, after she had testified, that it would not permit her to produce an expert regarding battered person syndrome. We are unpersuaded. "[B]attered person syndrome, while not a defense in its own right, is 'relevant in the context of self-defense'" (People v Hartman, 64 AD3d 1002, 1005 , lv denied 13 NY3d 860 , quoting People v Wilcox, 14 AD3d 941, 943 , lv denied 4 NY3d 837 ; see J. Myers, Myers on Evidence in Child, Domestic & Elder Abuse Cases § 10.02). Here, the evidence at trial, including defendant's own testimony, undermined her claim of self-defense (see People v Wilcox, 14 AD3d at 943). Moreover, battered person syndrome typically involves the extensive use of physical and/or psychological abuse by one person in a relationship against the other (see generally Masson, Annotation, Admissibility of Expert or Opinion Evidence of Battered-Woman Syndrome on Issue of Self-Defense, 58 ALR5th 749, § 2a), and defendant acknowledged a tumultuous eight-year relationship in which, among other things, sometimes she would initiate violence and inflict wounds upon the victim and at other times he was the initial aggressor.
Finally, defendant contends that the sentence is harsh and excessive. We cannot agree. County Court set forth in detail its reasons for the sentence it imposed, which was less than the maximum permissible sentence. Defendant has failed to show an abuse of discretion by County Court or extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of her sentence in the interest of justice (see People v Peryea, 68 AD3d 1144, 1147 , lv denied 14 NY3d 804 ; People v Portee, 56 AD3d 947, 950 , lv denied 12 NY3d 820 ).
Peters, J.P., Spain, Malone Jr. and McCarthy, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Some friends, and a few family members, have mentioned how difficult it sometimes is keeping up with my schedule. As the mother of 24-year old Sam and 14-year old Cade, a training coordinator for American Airlines Reservations, and as an actress, I do tend to stay very busy. If you've had trouble "Keeping Up With Cheryl Ann" it is my hope you will find this site beneficial. And, I promise, I won't accuse you of stalking me!
On April 17 I will be participating in another "den" reading of Reunions, the latest script by my favorite playwright, Bill Cissna. This will be the 4th den reading I've done with Bill.
The reading itself is a reunion of sorts. Everyone but Zac was involved in the staged production of Bill's first play, Conversations In A Cafe.
The Female Cast is: Gretchen – Mary Lea Williams Susie – Cheryl Ann Roberts Mary – Myla O’Brien Denise – Carson Gregory Chrissy – Rebecca Clark
The Male Cast is: Cameron Williams Scott Terrill Paul O'Brien Zac Hiatt
Did you notice that the male character names are not listed? It's not an oversight. I truly don't know the characters the men will be reading. Bill only provided us gender specific parts of the script. I'm very excited to see how the evening plays out!
Today Cade decided to write a story. When I asked him what it would be about, he said it would take place in a toy store. He said Mikey would be in the story, as well as Jazmin and Cosi (Mikey's two dogs who we kept for a year when he was on tour). Our cats Lizzie and Buddy (who died two years ago) would also be in the story.
He was sharpening his pencil as I headed to the shower to get ready for my afternoon at Theatre Alliance. Forty-five minutes later, I kissed him goodbye and he was still writing.
Cade's creativity never fails to entertain me. If you'd like to read Trapped In The Toy Store, exactly as he wrote it, click here.

Funny how things fall into place. Last year, I started an interview with Cristina Garey. It was never published because I like to hear the musicians I write about — live — at least once.
We’d played in some of the same venues, but I had never heard what she had to offer. Well, the other night, I was invited to a last minute get-together/jam session. The hosts are good friends, and the guests included a mix of musicians.
Cristina was there. During the course of the evening, we all took turns singing songs and Ms. Garey was a revelation. A beautiful voice emanated from her slight frame and — despite her confession that she hadn’t picked up an acoustic guitar in years — a solid Latin rhythm was laid down, (over which, I was permitted to exhibit my humble, clumsy guitar playing skills).
I knew, then, which interview I was going to submit for this issue of COAST.
Here it is:
Q: What brought you to the Outer Banks?
A: I first came to Nags Head, as it was referred to in the late ’70s, because my college roommate's parents had a cottage here, and I love the ocean.
Q: How would you describe your music?
A: Eclectic mix...my roots are Cuban music, but I love all quality music — bluegrass, rock, jazz.
Q: Who is your greatest musical influence?
A: Joni Mitchell, Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66, Afro-Cuban music. As a teenager, I listened to a lot of Zeppelin, Yes, Pink Floyd.
Q: What is it about music that touches you?
A: It touches my soul; music is divine. I can’t live without playing music. I know that now. I love making music. The interaction between musicians; feeding off of each other. That’s music. The primal human connection. My passion forced me out of my comfort zone, so I play out, and not just in my living room.
Q: The first concert you attended, did it inspire you to perform?
A: Jethro Tull. It was Joni Mitchell that inspired me to want to become a musician. I wasn’t driven by a desire to perform. I am a bit shy. Performing was not an ambition until recently.
Q: Are you self-taught?
A: Yes. I started in 10th grade. Decades later, when my sons went off to college, I decided I wanted to go to college, too. I got a degree in music theory and composition from Elizabeth City State University. What a fun ride that was.
Q: Besides guitar, what other instruments do you play?
A: I am, primarily, a vocalist-songwriter.
Q: How many different musical projects are you involved in?
A: Duo: Randy and Cristy, Trio Los Playeros, (Stephan Carbocci, Chris Francis), Havana Club (Ron Forlano, bass; Chris Francis, lead guitar; Ali Shield, drums)
Q: What's your favorite venue on the Outer Banks?
A: I love going to Art's Place on jazz night; I'm a huge fan of Joe Mapp and company.
Q: Musicians usually play for those “moments” when everything clicks. Do you have a favorite moment?
A: My debut with "Roots in the Sand" at Roanoke Island Festival Park. That was my first real performance and I lived up to the honor we were given. (1997 or 1998) The players in that event were much more skilled and experienced than I, but I stepped up to the plate! It was the first time I believed I had something to offer.
Q: What do you do in the off-season?
A: I am a real estate broker, currently with Maritime Realty. I work very hard.
Q: Was there a person in your life that motivated you to pursue music?
A: Quite the opposite; I was discouraged. I come from an old school, Hispanic, Catholic family and girls are raised to be housewives and mothers. Back in the day, I used to play open mics at Kelly's when they were hosted by the Bell Hops. I was dipping my toes in the water and very insecure. Dan Martier and Mick Vaughn always encouraged me. They really boosted my confidence, which I sorely needed.
Q: If you could perform with anyone, who would it be?
A: Pretty sure Yo-Yo Ma is not interested in playing with me.
Q: Is there one song you wish you'd written?
A: Every song written by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
Q: If you could choose any time period to play music, when would it be?
A: No time like the present!
Q: Do you listen to new music?
A: Always listening to new music. Recently I am enamored of Rosa Passos from Brazil. I love discovering a new great artist.
Q: Where were you the first time you performed onstage?
A: Roanoke Island Festival Park, I was 41.
Q: Writing songs, is it positive or negative inspiration that drives you?
A: Neither. Both. I am inspired by a strong feeling.
Q: Do you have any hobbies that aren’t music-related?
A: Gardening, landscaping.
Q: If you were so insecure about your talent, why did you keep pursuing music?
A: Things started clicking and as it turns out, I do have something to offer. My partner, Rodney, gave me encouragement and a fine instrument, a Gibson ES 339, that makes me a better player and I perform with accomplished and talented Outer Banks musicians. Who would have thunk it? Moral of the story: If you love music; it’s never too late.

Peter Verboom Jr. has owned the truck you see here for more than 25 years, yet that's less then half the life of this Chevy 3100 pickup that came from the factory back in 1955. We ran into Peter on a recent trip to the Oceano Dunes in California and knew we had to snap some images and bring you the story about this cool rig. That is....once we chased him down while he was roosting sand from all four corners of this fine vintage Chevy.
Peter bought this truck well over two decades ago and after seeing some desert race trucks, he knew he wanted to build one. He liked the uncommon idea of building what you might consider an "antique" truck. His friends thought he was just a little crazy building a '55, but Peter persisted with his plan and it's produced quite a head turner.
The truck has seen a lot of use over the years as it was built to be run in the dirt. Peter originally built the truck in the '80s and the suspension consisted of Auto Fab-designed leaf springs damped with four Rancho shocks at each wheel. The truck saw plenty of trips prerunning races with friends, chasing in races, and just playing in the sand dunes in Glamis. However, the truck required a lot of maintenance to withstand the duty it was seeing.
In 1997, Peter dropped the truck off with Chris Robinson, trophy truck builder and owner of CST Performance Suspension for a total rebuild and upgrade to more easily handle the rigors of off-road use, though it's always been kept street legal as well. Then in 2009, it was again refreshed to the condition you see on these pages, and now it moves faster and flies more than ever!

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- A visiting Chinese business delegation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on two-way investment cooperation with Los Angeles city in California Monday.
The agreement was signed during a visit to Los Angeles by a Chinese business delegation led by Zhang Yingxin, deputy director of the Investment Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Commerce. Zhang and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa signed the MOU at a ceremony held in the City Hall.
In a remark delivered before signing the MOU, Villaraigosa recalled his first visit to Beijing five years ago and the setting up of the first municipal tourism promotion office in the city. He also praised the mutually beneficial relationship with China and mentioned Chinese firms' investment projects in his city, which helped create jobs here.
"We are proud of the relationship with China," he said.
The two parties agreed to cooperate on facilitating investments in various areas such as transportation, logistics, film and entertainment, real estate, electric vehicles, clean technology and biotechnology.
More than 100 Chinese companies have invested in Los Angeles with a total amount topping 59 billion U.S. dollars, Qiu Shaofang, consul general of China to Los Angeles, said at the occasion.
"Los Angeles has become a favorite place for Chinese businessmen to do business," he said.
The visit is part of China's business promotion efforts during Chinese President Hu Jintao's state visit to the United States earlier in the month.
The Chinese delegation consists of over 300 entrepreneurs from more than 200 state and private companies in such sectors as energy, machinery, electronics, environmental protection, chemical engineering, pharmacy, agriculture and banking.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A Springdale-based testing company announced on Monday that its COVID-19 antibody test has received the Conformité Européene (CE) mark approval for use in “moderate/complex laboratory settings” across 28 countries in the European Union (EU).
NOWDiagnostics, Inc. says its subsidiary, C19 Development, LLC., will begin offering the ADEXUSDx® COVID-19 Test for use in a variety of health care settings in the EU—from clinics to hospital emergency rooms, while launching clinical trials of the test for use at point-of-care and over-the-counter.
The company says the test provides accurate and reliable results in 15 minutes with no buffers, reagents, or additional equipment necessary.
NOWDiagnostics says it submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the test on May 29, 2020. The application is still pending.
The tests are developed and manufactured at the company’s Springdale facility with materials “sourced from American suppliers.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and others are analyzing data from antibody tests to estimate the number of people who have been infected with COVID-19 in the U.S., to learn more about how the body’s immune system responds to the virus, and to explore how the virus spreads. This information will also be critical for the development of a vaccine. We believe that the features of the self-contained ADEXUSDx® COVID-19 Test, from its simplicity to its portability, make it uniquely suited for large-scale and remote testing situations, as well as under resourced areas lacking access to traditional health care laboratories and facilities, like those encountered by those fighting on the frontline, in particular, healthcare employees, police, fire, emergency medical services and military personnel.NOWDiagnostics, Inc.

Commercial construction is changing. In 2020, the trend in sustainable building design, smart technologies, and energy efficient systems will continue to impact the HVAC industry.
These trends present new challenges as architects work to improve efficiencies and lower the carbon footprint of new construction, all while making comfort and sustainability more important than ever before.
The movement called Green Building Design started in the late 1960s and became formalized in the 90s, especially with the founding of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification in 1993.
A green building is one that in design, construction, and operation minimizes its impact on the environment and makes the most efficient use of energy.
When it comes to HVAC, sustainability starts with early planning and careful calculations. More than ever before, ductwork systems and heating and cooling units are “right-sized” to meet the needs of the building.
Careful attention is paid to heat loss calculations, duct sealing, and airflow volume and velocity.
Energy Recovery or Heat Recovery Ventilators (E/HRV) are heat exchangers that capture heat from exhaust air and transfer it to incoming cold air, and vice versa when the outside air is hot. The use of recovery ventilators alone can result in a 30% energy savings. In 2020, the Energy & Environmental Building Alliance (EEBA) hopes to introduce the most efficient and cost-effective E/HRV design to-date.
Employing E/HRVs correctly requires careful airflow and ductwork planning.
As the computer revolution continues to drive CPU costs down and wireless technologies connect more and more devices to an Internet of Things, it is more practical than ever before to heat and cool buildings based on their real-time energy needs.
Zoning systems can provide temperature control for entire floors or single rooms and can be installed to work with existing HVAC systems or designed to make the most of new construction. These systems are often installed with variable speed or two-stage HVAC systems, delivering peak performance without reaching peak capacity.
Zoning systems are known to lower energy bills by as much as 35%.
Smart thermostats can be remotely controlled from smartphone apps, activated by motion sensors, or controlled by intelligent computers to deliver heat and cooling where it is needed for the comfort of the occupants and to reduce the load in unoccupied areas.
For smart technologies to work, careful duct planning is required, including the use of dampers in ductwork runs.
A lot of work is going into advances in the refrigerants used in heating and cooling as well as into refrigerant-free systems.
R-22 (Freon) is set to expire for use in the USA in 2020. As of January, it will no longer be manufactured or imported.
Many older systems using Freon will be upgraded or replaced, as continuing to maintain them will become problematic in in the months and years ahead.
R410A is the new refrigerant, and while it is more environmentally friendly, it cannot be used in the old R-22 HVAC systems.
Refrigerant free technology includes DeVAP, Solar, and Geothermal HVAC.
Desiccant Enhanced Evaporative Systems (DeVAP) has been called a revolutionary technology. About a decade old, DeVAP is into its second generation and is gaining in popularity.
DeVAP starts by running water into a honeycomb media. A fan then blows through the honeycomb, causing the water to evaporate. Evaporative cooling takes place, reducing the temperature of the surrounding air. The DeVAP systems then uses a desiccant to absorb the excess humidity from the air. The end result provides similar cooling to today’s refrigerant-based HVAC, but with far less energy use and no environmental impact.
Solar HVAC uses solar modules to capture energy from the sun and send it to solar-ready air conditioners or heat pumps.
Geothermal HVAC has actually been in use for over 60 years, but is gaining notoriety in the US as the green building trend continues to grow. It is one of the most proven HVAC alternatives, as in Sweden and Switzerland, up to 75% of new homes use geothermal heating and cooling.
Striving to meet these challenges has not slowed the growth of the HVAC industry, where cutting-edge innovations are poised to make a global impact. Growth through 2020 is still expected to be top nearly 6%.
At TCG, we work hard to stay ahead of the curve and keep our customers on the cutting-edge.

Chinese stocks trade in negative territory
On Wednesday, China’s equities markets wiped off their gains recorded a day before and were trading in the negative territory, with consumption stocks leading the losses.
The Shanghai Composite Index slumped by 1.68 percent, or 46.24 points, to finish at 2704.34. Dragged by the weak performance of heavyweight stocks such as liquor, steel and banks, the A-share market opened lower on Wednesday, with the benchmark index fluctuating at a low level in the morning trade session and seeing an enlarged decline in midday action.
The smaller Shenzhen Component Index edged down by 1.78 percent to 8402.51 points, while the Nasdaq-style ChiNext enterprise board was lower by 1.74 percent at 1430.24.
Sub-index of the household appliances industry posted a 1.47 percent of losses, with shares of Gree Electric Appliances Inc of Zhuhai, a leading air conditioning enterprise, falling by 3.22 percent to close at 37.61 yuan (US$5.49).
Capital Securities noted that due to expectations about the continued downward trend of the country’s economy and the tightened credit supply, China’s financial and cyclical sectors have kept their declines.
The broker added that as the regulators are easing the credit policy to encourage more money to the real economy, stocks of financial firms and cyclical industry will resonate with each other in the future.
