From the July 15, 2010 issue
One of the most important ways to prevent medication errors is to learn about problems that have occurred in other organizations and to use that information to prevent similar problems at your practice site. To promote such a process, the following selected items from the April-June 2010 issues of the ISMP Medication Safety Alert! have been prepared for an interdisciplinary committee to stimulate discussion and action to reduce the risk of medication errors. Each item includes a description of the medication safety problem, recommendations to reduce the risk of errors, and the issue number to locate additional information as desired. Look for our high-alert medication icon under the issue number if the agenda item involves one or more medications on the ISMP List of High-Alert Medications. The Action Agenda is also available for download in a Word format (www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/articles/ActionAgenda1003.doc) that allows expansion of the columns in the table designated for organizational documentation of an assessment, actions required, and assignments for each agenda item. Many product-related problems can also be viewed in the ISMP Medication Safety Alert! section of our Web site. Continuing education credit is available for nurses at: www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/actionagendas.asp.
Key: — ISMP high-alert medication
Common risks associated with heparin (7)
Problem: Since 1996, ISMP has published more than 100 reports about heparin errors. The latest event involved a child who died after receiving a large overdose of IV heparin due to an infusion pump setting error that was not detected during a verbal checking process. The pump was a smart pump with a drug library and dose-checking capabilities, but this feature was not utilized.
Recommendation: Identify and remove barriers to utilizing smart pump technology. Examine internal errors associated with heparin and common risks (e.g., programming errors, mix-ups with other drugs, compounding errors, concomitant administration of heparin-type products) listed in Table 1 (www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/articles/20100408.asp) to identify weaknesses. Implement key improvement strategies found in Table 1 and in the ISMP Medication Safety Self Assessment for Antithrombotic Therapy (www.ismp.org/selfassessments/asa2006/Intro.asp).
Confusion between organ preservation solutions (i.e., VIASPAN and SPS-1) and IV containers (7)
Problem: Cold storage solutions used to preserve harvested organs are available in plastic bags that resemble IV bags and also contain a port that will accommodate IV tubing. An organ procurement team left a liter bag of ViaSpan in a hospital where it was later returned to the hospital's pharmacy with other IV solutions. Inadvertent IV administration of organ preservation solution would cause cardiac arrest due to the high amount of potassium.
Recommendation: Alert operating room staff of the possibility for mix-ups between organ preservation solutions and IV containers. If organ preservation solutions are routinely stored at your hospital, sequester the solutions away from other IV solutions and apply auxiliary warning labels to the outerwrap noting that this concentrated electrolyte solution is to be used only for the storage or flushing of harvested organs.
Another fatal event with IV bupivacaine (10)
Problem: ISMP previously described an event involving a young pregnant woman who died after she accidently received an IV infusion of epidural bupivacaine and fentaNYL. More recently, news media from the United Kingdom reported that a hospital trust would be sentenced by a court after one of its own nurses died when she was given IV bupivacaine instead of saline shortly after giving birth.
Recommendation: Obstetrical units need to evaluate and address bupivacaine toxicity that results from accidental IV injection. Inherent risks associated with routinely prescribing, dispensing, storing, and administering both epidural and IV solutions, and other medications during labor and delivery should also be identified and addressed.
Common pitfalls when conducting a root cause analysis (RCA) (8)
Problem: ISMP continues to observe common pitfalls encountered while conducting a RCA, often rendering the process less useful than intended. Common problems include: failing to establish a sequence of events; over-reliance on written policies and procedures to illustrate what normally happens when providing care; failure to conduct investigations for all at-risk behaviors and human errors identified; not seeking external information about similar adverse events; selecting weak error-reduction strategies; and others.
Reccomendation: Ensure that the RCA includes an accurate sequence of events. Investigate "what normally happens" rather than just relying on "what policies and procedures require." Identify conditions that led to at-risk behaviors, and discover the deep system-based causes of events (see probing questions in Table 2 at: www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/articles/20100422.asp). Search professional literature for similar events, and choose error-reduction strategies which are more resistant to human error. Carry out action plans and measure your success.
Propofol container labels highlight the percent concentration, not the mg/mL strength (8)
Problem: Propofol 5 mg (0.5 mL) was ordered for an agitated pediatric patient following extubation. The nurse accidently gave 5 mL (50 mg) of propofol. The propofol (DIPRIVAN) vial had a pharmacy label covering the mg/mL strength, so the only visible portion of the label stated "propofol 1%." Also, due to the propofol shortage, the imported product sold by APP pharmaceuticals and manufactured by Fresenius Kabi, only highlights the strength as 1%, making it difficult to determine the mg amount.
Recommendation: To reduce the risk of calculation errors, hospitals using the imported product should add an auxiliary label to draw attention to the mg/mL strength. Pharmacy-applied labels, however, should never obscure critical information on the manufacturer's label.
Prevent vinCRIStine wrong route injections (10)
Problem: More than 50 fatalities have been reported after administering vinCRIStine via the intrathecal route; the few patients who survived this type of error have permanent neurological deficits. The most recent fatal event occurred in an adult patient who had been receiving IV vinCRIStine as well as intracerebroventricular methotrexate through an Ommaya reservoir. The patient inadvertently received vinCRIStine via the Ommaya reservoir.
Recommendation: Safety practices to prevent this error can be found at: www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/articles/20060223.asp and www.who.int/medi-cines/publications/drugalerts/Alert_115_vincristine.pdf. ISMP and the World Health Organiza-tion suggest dispensing and administering vinCRIStine diluted in a minibag, and to separate IV and spinal medication delivery times. Medica-tion safety teams/committees may want to view the free FDA Patient Safety Video on this topic at: www.accessdata.fda.gov/psn/transcript.cfm?show=68#7.
Safe practice with the once daily opioid Exalgo (HYDROmorphone extended-release) (10)
Problem: Recently FDA approved Exalgo, which is indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain in opioid-tolerant patients requiring continuous opioid analgesia for an extended period of time. Confusion between immediate- and extended-release products could result in an overdose, which may lead to serious adverse events such as respiratory depression and death, or an underdose, leading to poor efficacy.
Recommendation:When prescribing Exalgo, include the proprietary name, and if the established name is used, spell out "hydromorphone extended-release." If prescribing immediate-release HYDROmorphone, do not attach modifiers such as "IR." Before dispensing or administering Exalgo, verify that the patient is opioid-tolerant, counsel patients on how to properly take Exalgo, and encourage patients to read the Medication Guide.
Failure to set a volume limit for a magnesium bolus dose leads to harm (11)
Problem: An obstetrician prescribed an IV magnesium sulfate bolus dose of 6 g/30 minutes followed by a continuous infusion of 2 g/hour for a patient in preterm labor. A nurse obtained a 20 g/500 mL bag of magnesium sulfate and programmed the bolus to be delivered as a continuous infusion at 12 g/hour with no volume limit. The nurse forgot to return to the patient's room in 30 minutes to reprogram the rate to 2 g/hour. The smart pump did not provide a hard stop to prevent the administration of an excessive dose of magnesium sulfate.
Recommendation: Never infuse an IV magnesium sulfate bolus dose from the maintenance solution unless: 1) The bolus dose is delivered using the bolus dose feature; 2) Separate dose limits are operational for bolus and maintenance doses; 3) These alerts are configured as a "hard stop," and 4) A qualified nurse remains at the bedside during infusion of the bolus dose to monitor the patient for signs of magnesium toxicity. If all these conditions are not met, administer the bolus dose from a separate container.
Questionable safety with continuous inhalation albuterol infusion set-up (11)
Problem: Albuterol inhalation solution was added to an IV bag with tubing that was fit into a nebulizer to provide continuous respiratory therapy to status asthmaticus patients. A nurse discovered that a patient's IV medications had been infused into the IV tubing connected to the nebulizer. This practice could also lead to accidental IV delivery of inhalation drugs.
Recommendation: Avoid this risky practice by only adding the inhalation solution directly into a nebulizer cup as needed.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 30-minute rule may result in unintended consequences (12)
Problem: The CMS regulation that requires medications to be administered within 30 minutes before or after their scheduled times, may be causing nurses to drift into unsafe work habits in order to meet the rule, such as pre-pouring medications, pre-charting medication administration, and removing medications for multiple patients at the same time.
Recommendation: Consider the risks inherent in the workarounds that may be taken to comply with the 30-minute rule, and remind nurses that exact timeliness with scheduled medications is frequently less important from a clinical perspective than making sure the correct patient receives the correct medication.
EPINEPHrine pre-filled syringe shortage: Safety concerns with available alternatives (12)
Problem: EPINEPHrine emergency syringes 1 mg/10 mL (0.1 mg/mL) are currently on backorder from the sole manufacturer of this product. Although injectable EPINEPHrine is still available in other forms, these products may not be safe alternatives.
Recommendation: Pharmacists should communicate information about the shortage and recommended substitute products to all potential areas where EPINEPH-rine emergency syringes are used. Conserve current supplies of syringes for code boxes and emergency responders where pharmacists would not be present during a code. Review the safety concerns associated with the available injectable products and corresponding error-reduction strategies at: www.ismp.org/NAN/files/NAN-201006.pdf.
Preventing errors when administering drugs via an enteral feeding tube (7,9,10,11)
Problem: Medication errors related to the administration of drugs via an enteral feeding tube can result due to the incompatibility of administering medications via a tube, improper preparation of medications, and/or using improper administration technique. Such errors can lead to an occluded feeding tube, reduced drug effect, or drug toxicity.
Recommendation: A team of nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, and physicians should develop protocols for administering drugs through enteral feeding tubes that address using appropriate dosage forms, preparing drugs for enteral administration, administering each drug separately, diluting drugs as appropriate, and flushing the feeding tube. Protocol guidance is available at: www.nutritioncare.org/safety.
Infusion pump safety issues with Baxter Colleague Volumetric Infusion Pumps and Hospira Symbiq (9)
Problem: FDA has ordered Baxter to recall and destroy all Colleague pumps because the company could not address known safety issues within an acceptable timeframe. The Hospira Symbiq infusion pumps may not detect air in the line if a clinician programs the pump to infuse more volume than in the bag/bottle. Also, unrestricted flow can occur with Symbiq, if the cassette is removed before the cassette carriage is in the fully-open position.
Recommendation: Continue to use Baxter Colleague pumps while Baxter works with the FDA to develop a transition plan. For strategies to mitigate risks with these pumps, visit: www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/alertsandnotices/ucm210768.htm#1. If using Hospira Symbiq pumps, review the safety steps outlined by the company with your frontline staff (www.ismp.org/newsletters/acutecare/articles/clinical-bulletin.pdf and www.ismp.org/docs/Symbiq_Recall_Notification.pdf).
The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) statement on inhaled medication dosing times (12)
Problem: AARC has a position statement on inhaled medication dosing times that differs from the CMS regulation re-quiring administration within 30 minutes of the scheduled time. CMS supports the AARC suggestion of an administration window that does not exceed 60 minutes before or after the scheduled administration time.
Recommendation: Keep on file a copy of the AARC position statement (www.aarc.org/resources/position_statements/inhaled_medication_administration.html) and CMS support language in case state surveyors or The Joint Commission question the timeframes for inhaled medications.

Hello, and welcome to a special edition of [B]Dateline Disney World![/B] This week, I go to go behind the construction walls at the Magic Kingdom and the [B]New Fantasyland[/B] to experience the [B]Enchanted Tales with Belle[/B] attraction! We also take some photos of the rest of the expansion from inside the walls. There will be spoilers in this column, so if you don't want to see things or know story stuff before physically coming to Walt Disney World to see it, you may want to head to another page now! Lots of pictures to see here, so let's get started!!
When I saw that the new construction wall path had been altered to go through the Castle Wall, I knew there was a good chance something would happen. Thankfully, I walked over to the construction wall where a door was open and Cast Members were letting people into the New Fantasyland!
This is what the bottom of the Castle Wall archway that I went under looked like.
The forced perspective on Beast's Castle works much better from inside the new land.
They were obviously in rehearsal mode here, so there were signs alerting guests to it.
Was great to see these lights from the OTHER side of the wall!
Approaching Maurice's cottage, there are lots of wonderful details, even in the lampposts.
Here are some exterior shots of the Cottage itself. It was very nice to be able to get the whole cottage in the frame, and not just the roof like I'm used to!
There is stroller parking to the left of the attraction.
As you get closer to the cottage, the castle looks further and further away.
Here is where you wait outside. This will be a very hot queue in the dead of summer.
More details.
Getting closer, castle looking more high up!
The queue is full of details with hearts on them, which I would take a guess is Belle's doing, and not Maurice's.
This is at the top of the cottage.
There are new Cast Member costumes to go with this area.
These buckets and wheelbarrow are right next to the entrance to the cottage.
This shot was taken at the doorway to the cottage. Note how at this point, you can no longer even see all of the Beast's Castle.
Once entering the cottage, you step into a living/common room. In it, there are lots of things.
You can see how tall you are compared to Belle's height at her different ages.
Family portrait.
There is a desk in here, again continuing the heart theming.
There are also fairytale books laid out in this room.
And some sketches of Maurice's work.
After waiting for a few minutes, a big wooden door opens, and a Cast Member guides you into Maurice's work room.
In here, there are more great details, like this wood carving of Belle and Beast.
There is also a mirror that looks rather out of place. That is because it is described as a gift from Belle and Beast to Maurice so that he can magically visit them in the Castle whenever he wants.
A projection trick is then used to show the portal open to the Beast's Castle, and then open for us to walk through. It also is supposed to take us back in time to the night where Belle falls in love with Beast. These shots were all taken at the same focal length to show how the mirror gets bigger over time so we can fit through it.
Also notice how the projection is spot on what the shots from outside that I already showed you look.
We then walk through the portal and into the Beast's castle.
Here we change gears completely and have a very elegant, and again, exceptionally well themed room.
There are beautiful details everywhere.
The chandeliers are great.
Inside this room, we meet the Wardrobe, who is quite the over the top animatronic, combing both very fluid movement with projection on the eyes.
We also meet a VERY enthusiastic Cast Member who is there to assist the Wardrobe.
The CM gives members of the group roles to play in the story, like the guards and horses, along with Maurice and Beast.
After handing out roles to everyone who wants one, we hear Lumiere's voice coming from afar inviting us into the Library, which is the main show room for this attraction.
The library is another incredibly themed room, with more details to look at than time allows.
Again, another beautiful chandelier.
Let's talk for a second about the Lumiere Audio Animatronic now.
He acts as the main narrator for this main part of the attraction, and is again a combination of movement and projections on his face and flames. And it is simply put, stunning. The fluid motion of this AA is some of, if not the best I've seen. Outrageously convincing.
From here, we are told to be quiet since we will be surprising Belle, and then she arrives.
Lumiere tells the story of Belle and Beast to Belle (and us) moments before she is to have her big dinner date with Beast that we see in the movie. Everyone who was given a part in the story then marches around the room led by Belle.
Lastly, the boy picked for Beast gets to have a dance with Belle. Also, while all of this is happening, a Photopass photographer is documenting everything as well as parents taking photos of their kids.
At this point, all of the children receive a bookmark which is autographed by Belle, Belle goes on her date with the Beast, and we are escorted out of the exit and back into New Fantasyland.
So, how do I feel about the attraction? Well, surprised, to be honest. From the time it was announced back in 2009, I really did not care for this concept. I thought it would be just another silly way to have a meet and greet. Even up until this week, I didn't care about it. When I got access to New Fantasyland, I even contemplated not seeing it and just spending time taking photos of the new area. But, after going in, I think it was really well executed, and I think the best judge of that was the reactions I saw on the kids' faces. Almost every child wanted to participate in the show, and they were all really into it. It really is NOT a meet and greet. It is more of a show where the guests are part of the cast. You don't stand in switchbacks waiting to get your picture and autograph in a makeshift backdrop setting from the story. You visit real scenes and real elements from the movie, which to me makes it far more than a meet and greet. Am I the target demographic for this? No. Will I be doing this every chance I get when I'm at the Magic Kingdom? Gosh no. Would I have been terribly upset if three of these were built like in the original plans? Oh, you know it. But, as the only one, I think it will really work. The theming and detail are far better than anything I've ever seen in Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom. The village area is wonderful, and once all the foliage grows in, it really will be beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised.
Now, let's look at some other shots from inside these walls!!
Here are some details from the nearby Be Our Guest restaurant.
Gargoyles hold up the lightposts on the bridge that leads to the restaurant.
The gate to the restaurant is steel.
This is the bridge to the restaurant that will eventually go over a river. It looks fantastic in person.
I think this little bridge also leads to Be Our Guest.
And then these guys sit at the entrance.
Here's a view of Cinderella Castle along with the Castle Wall.
Here is Bonjour! Village Gifts, and it is nice to be able to see some of the bottom of it!
Here is the view of Under the Sea from where Enchanted Tales with Belle takes place.
And also a view of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
Here is a view of the Beast's Castle framed by some of the lovely trees planted in the area.
Well, that wraps it up for our special look at the other side of the construction walls at the New Fantasyland. What are your thoughts on Enchanted Tales with Belle? Excited to finally just get past the rest of these walls and see some of the most detailed things ever built in the Magic Kingdom?

A fresh and light Tex-Mex Garbanzo Bean Salad that can be made in less than 5 minutes!
Welcome to another edition of Mystery Dish!!! {Ok..on a side note whenever I start these Mystery Dish posts I always feel a little like a TV game show host}
So.. Let's recap, shall we? Last month we had some crazy ingredients given to us and this is what the outcome was…
Coconut Shrimp with Thai Ginger Chili Sauce, pretty delicious looking I know! Its even more delicious tasting!
This month proved to be more of a challenge. Partly because I made a recipe earlier this month, Cilantro Lime Quinoa with Black Beans, that I posted and didn't realize I could have used it for this month's Mystery Dish. But also, because for whatever reason I was struggling to be creative with the ingredients this time around.
I was forced to put on my thinking cap this month and came up with this beauty, Tex-Mex Chickpea Salad. P.S. in case you didn't know Chickpeas are the same thing as Garbanzo Beans. 🙂
Jen, over at Yummy Healthy Easy, was our host for this month. She threw down gauntlet and gave us a challenge with these Mystery Ingredients: Garbanzo Beans, Eggs, Flax Seed, Cilantro, Potatoes, Lime, Bread, Quinoa, Popcorn, Dark Chocolate, Ground Turkey, and Asparagus. The challenge… use at least 2 of these ingredients in a dish. But if your like me you try to use more. 🙂 {I used garbanzo beans, cilantro, and lime}
This Tex-Mex Chickpea Salad can be made in less than 5 minutes and has such a light and fresh flavor! It would be a perfect side dish for those summer grilling nights with the fam or the weekend Potluck your next neighbor is planning! 🙂
To get started, drain and rinse one 15oz. can of chickpeas {also known as garbanzo beans} place in a small bowl.
Add 1/2 cup of diced yellow peppers, 1/2 cup of diced roma tomatoes {seeds removed} and 1 /4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro. Toss.
Next add in the juice of 1 large lime, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve.

text: The Hoop of Learning program was implemented in the summer of 1995 in response to concerns voiced by Native parents in an urban high school district in Phoenix, Arizona. These voices influenced the high school and a local community college which to form a partnership committee to provide an educational program for Native students, now referred to as the Hoop of Learning. The Hoop of Learning is a high school to college bridge program. It is designed to foster cultural resilience and career development among Native Students.

Get the facts about Troy State University athletic schedule, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches are more interested in players who already know about their team and college, so do your research before visiting a college campus in person. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Troy State University Athletic information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Troy State University.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team. Bucks County Technical High School womens basketball schedule may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Troy State University athletic schedule, you may think about Big Bend Community College continuing education courses for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Labour must encourage debate on immigration and accept there is public disquiet about the way new arrivals to Britain access public services, according to a junior minister.
Pat McFadden, minister of state for employment relations and chairman of Labour's National Policy Forum, said yesterday many people believed the relationship between fairness and public service provision was "broken".
In a challenging speech last night, McFadden, a former deputy chief of staff at Downing Street under Tony Blair, also urged the party to recognise that reform of public services had to go further, saying the debate on GPs opening hours was only the beginning.
The minister, who is playing an important role in drawing up Labour's election manifesto, also suggested there was a danger that the debate on climate change was starting to leave the public behind.
He called for the party to end its "sterile" discussion about the governance of schools and city academies, adding that the problem was not that the government had introduced too much reform in education but rather too little.
He argued Labour's fate at the next election would largely depend on "whether voters feel we understand the future and can lead Britain through it". The updating of Labour's programme is due to be completed this summer.
In perhaps the most controversial passage in his speech to the Young Fabians, McFadden said that leftwing parties had traditionally shied away from discussing migration "associating it with use by the right to whip up fears or foster division. But one of the things most frustrating for the public, the vast majority of whom are not racist, is the sense that you're not allowed to talk about this, that whatever they feel it is beyond the boundaries of legitimate discussion."
He said immigration had been good for the economy, but had also raised questions about the "allocation of public goods".
"Most people in Britain have a view of public services based on the concept of exchange - they believe if someone has worked hard and paid in then it is legitimate for them to draw down help when it is needed, in the form of NHS treatment, state pension or whatever," he said.
"Yet often public service operates on the principle of need, not exchange. This is not solely an issue of migration - the question of needs-based allocations and exchange-based concepts of fairness apply widely - but migration can sharpen the issue because of a sense that the rules of entitlement have either been broken or do not work in a fair way."
He said a debate was growing about whether "the right to stay long-term in the country" should be "based on a sense of reciprocity, of a two-way street, where rights of residence go alongside respect for the law and playing by the rules".
Public services, he said, had yet to respond to changing times.
"If government is really to deliver services which suit the public," he said, "there will have to be a lot more extended opening hours and weekend access than there is at present. Too often the public experience of accessing public service is to take time out to fit around how the service operates. It should be the other way round."
He also endorsed city academies and school trusts, saying: "We need to move on from a sterile debate about governance to a realisation that these reforms are essential to giving some of the most disadvantaged children in the country more opportunities than they have enjoyed up until now.
"The question about our education reforms so far is not whether they have gone too far but whether they have gone far enough."
He backed welfare reforms to help the unemployed back to work, saying: "In many parts of the country - though not all - opportunities are there. But people need the skills, the motivation and in some cases the pressure to take advantage of them".

Amber Heard and Tasya Van Ree: It's Over!by Free Britney at . Comments
In the wake of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis' separation after 14 years together, his rumored new flame Amber Heard has split with her girlfriend too.
The bisexual actress and artist/photographer, Tasya van Ree, are broken up.
"They are no longer in a relationship," an insider tells In Touch of the women, who were together since 2008 but quietly called it off several months back.
The couple split right around when things between Amber Heard, who was recently cast in Machete Kills, and Johnny Depp (allegedly) started heating up.
According to the celebrity gossip mag, the duo remain close friends and Tasya van Ree appears to be "enjoying single life again." So that's good at least.

text: #101 Posted September 28, 2013 I have presented historical records as a form of non-physical evidence. Prove those records to be false and I will agree with you. If you can't do that then where exactly is your argument? He said you can't prove a negative. Your response was basically, "Oh yeah? Prove a negative." - really? Here is one set of bones. http://www.poweredby...f-grumbles.html The claim is these are Native American bones dug up locally in Alabama. Some experts claim it is an actual Native American, and some say that the skeleton has some European features. It is still a mystery. Regardless the skeleton is about 7 feet tall. Make of it what you will. http://www.roadsidea...a.com/tip/14314 If that's supposed to be some ancient skeleton, why did the guy die sitting on a barrel in a modern (if you consider the 1970s modern) building? Huh? Huh? PS If you insist on continuing to advertise your computer die thingys on this forum, I'll be forced to report you for spam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wussy Fang Face
Pansy Wussy Fang Face
**Actually, some helpful advice in the comments section would be welcomed!!**
We have a 110lb brown-white husky malamute, named Quin, who is about ten years old. See him? He's right there on the side of this text. He's a big dog. Most people are afraid of him. Or should be. He's like the great white shark only for dogs. He's like a wolf dog. You would think to yourself, self, this is a potentially dangerous dog. He looks strong. He looks brave. Certainly, in most human vs dog match ups it would be the person and not this dog who would be afraid. Unless you are Cesar Milan or something.
And now it is winter. A new crust of snow has fallen actually. The dog has a big thick coat. It is a sled dog. It should love to be outside. But he does not. He does but only if someone is out there. Namely, his momma. 'Cause Mr. Furry Fang Face is one big pansy wussy momma's boy of a dog.
He's a fear factory. He's afraid of thunder. That is kind of common. As well as fireworks. Also common. He's afraid of watermelon. Not so common. He was afraid of my daughter's plastic hobby horse but we got rid of that. We didn't help the fear sometimes. Because it was convenient to put a table up with a strategically placed watermelon to keep wussydog away from company. Because when "new" people arrive he has to "mingle" with you for a good five to ten minutes. After that he's good. If you don't want to "mingle" (as many don't) then he will want to "mingle" with you for the rest of the night. "Mingle" means he wants to force you to rub his face and lick yours if he can or better still... maybe nibble on your chin.
Yes, I know you are thinking we aren't maybe the best dog people and we do realize that now. We've gotten some expensive doggy shrink help. We are improved some. But still, this 110lb husky is a wuss. Anyway, on his going outside... if you aren't out there he wants to keep it brief outside. Normally, he just wants to do a little dookie or two and maybe lay there for a few minutes and then come inside. Unlike the rat (terrier), he doesn't give a frig about the squirrels. But he's afraid of linoleum. And laminate wood flooring apparently, which we just put in the room he needs to go through to get outside. Or inside. Which is where the problem is.
You can't get him inside. He's afraid to step onto the floor. His feet spread apart and he gets all crybaby about it. If he doesn't think about it or if you are holding a slab of meat... then he'll cross but I'm not pulling out a hunk of meat every time this dog wants back in from a trip to wee.
So we've put up some "runners", carpet that runs from the door to the living room and gives Quin a path from deck to the safe sanctuary of the living room carpet. But he doesn't like it. So you have to pull a carpet over the door so it flops onto the deck. But he doesn't always like that. So you get sick of that and let him sit for a bit until he barks and then we do it again. To get him in, especially if you just want to get back to bed and sleep from a 3am pee session, you have to tell him what a "brave brave boy" he is. "Such a brave brave boy! I've never seen such a big boy!!!" And you have to do it with meaning. Or he won't move. You have to push off your thoughts of how this 110lb wolf hound is certainly NOT a big brave boy and is in actuality a pansy wussy fang face!!! WHILE you convincingly tell him he is a "brave brave boy".
It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for him. Most of the time he keeps it cool and acts likes he's a bad ass dog maybe even. Sort of. If you don't know yet, you probably think he's a tough guy. But a clap of thunder or linoleum floor later... he's running off like Scooby with Shaggy. Luckily, he can snake to the backyard via our garage which doesn't seem to be such a problem for him. The big wussy fang face.
We had a collie that we always brought into the house on the 4th of July. I can sympathize.
John, I just watched a Dog Whisperer segment last night I wish you could have seen. It was about a very scared Akita who also had some kind of neurological disorder so his legs didn't work very well. Caesar had to work with him a loooong time over several days. He said that you have to help the dog's brain go FORWARD, and reward any forward motion. For Quin maybe that would be a treat. You may have to schedule an entire day just for Quin training, and then keep practicing until he does it automatically. Caesar trained with the leash on, gently urging him forward just one tiny bit, then rewarded him. I do believe that at the very first he rewarded the Akita just for acting relaxed. You may want to look it up online. Good luck!

?A powerful narrative seamlessly wrapped in the vivid colors of historical fiction?.? (Publisher)

If you're going to be drinking this summer down the Jersey Shore, at least you can be more confident the shot of Lagavulin or Auchentoshan the bartender just poured you is actually high-end scotch, not dishwater.
That's because the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) led a statewide raid on Wednesday, the culmination of a sting operation called Operation Swill, in which plainclothes investigators went to 63 bars that had received complaints about mislabeled alcohol, ordered shots neat and surreptitiously took samples for testing. The ABC collected more than 1,000 open bottles of liquors from 63 license holders in 15 of New Jersey's 21 counties, then subjected all of the contents to testing.
They found that bottles from 29 bars, including 13 TGI Friday's franchises in Mercer, Monmouth and Middlesex counties–where I grew up–didn't contain the premium liquor the label advertised. In one case, it was caramel-colored rubbing alcohol, which is toxic. Yum. Most bars were accused of pulling the trick 14-year-olds have used for at least a century: refilling bottles of clear alcohol with water. One bar, though, used water "not from a tap." Yum.
The TGI Fridays franchisee that owned the 13 accused restaurants, the Briad Restaurant Group, acted surprised this sort of thing might happen across a large swath of its holdings. To absolutely no one's surprise, it's doing its own investigation, as is TGI Fridays.
Let this be a lesson to New Jersey bar owners: New Jerseyans may occasionally be assholes, but we're not idiots. I'd certainly be able to taste the difference, though frankly, I'm not sure whether that's a virtue or a problem.

A/N: Wow, I haven't touched this story in ages…^^; And for those who have been waiting ever so patiently, I apologize. To those who care not a bit, too bad for you! HAHA! No, but I understand some are looking for certain updates, and I'd be happy to give them to you in due time, but for now, alphabetical order is my thing. ^_^ And this story happens to be right after "Heavenly Affairs". Worry not, I'll update Merged Souls right after (I think)! I've changed the summary to suit a more…attractive…output? ^^; I dunno. ^^; Okay, well, onto the story…L o v i n g R i v a l r y Chapter Two
November 2002
I could already tell I was going to have a hard time with this guy. He seemed to answer every question that came his way with a don't-ever-talk-to-me-again, an I'm-better-than-you-are, or a do-you-think-I-care look. Either that, or it would be a curt nod or blank stare that would eventually ward to off with his amazing capability to hold a murderous glare for more than fifteen seconds. And if you didn't run off, he would bluntly ignore you. Jeez! It seemed like the guy had some sort of mind-reading capability or…or…something that would pierce through you when he looked your way. AND THIS GUY WAS MY ACCOMPANIST?! I really couldn't believe my bad luck. That is, until we got to the practice room…
"Did your mom drag you into this?" I asked conversationally, removing my jacket.
There it was, the blank stare for at least five seconds before 'his highness' decided to grace me with his oh-so-royal answer. "No."
Wow, he even has a nice voice. "No?" I arched an eyebrow.
"I came willingly after being asked once," said he, the Great One.
Even a limited sense of humor. Smiling amiably, I gestured toward the sleek black grand piano in the center of the room, which was fairly large considering it was only a practice room. "Shall we give it a try?"
Not answering, he made his way (gracefully) to the piano and tapped out a few keys before sitting down at the bench. He looked at me blankly. He didn't bring his music, huh? He must be pretty damn good.
"Let's start from the beginning, then. Okay with you?" I suggested. Thank God our parents were outside.
As soon as his slender fingers touched the keys, I was amazed by the sheer grace and fluency of his movements and music. He was good…better than I had ever imagined. I wonder if he practices a lot? It would only seem logical for one so perfect to be a natural, therefore not needing much practice at all. But then again, I could always be wrong, and it seemed that I always was. Hearing the arpeggio that trickled softly as my cue, I made a silent wish to the Fates that I would not mess up and seem so utterly mal-practiced to my accompanist. I would've been absolutely horrified had I made a mistake in my singing. Taking a deep, quiet breath, I started in with a soft, yet projecting, voice.
Closing my eyes, I sang on, paying scant attention to anything around me. Everything except the lilt of the piano and my own voice dissipated into nothingness as my focus wavered between the serene silence of it all and the words of the song. Before I had realized it, the song was finished as was I, and Sesshoumaru was staring at me questioningly.
Blushing slightly, I closed my mouth before mumbling, "How'd I do? I wasn't really paying attention." After all, focus on only the music or nothing at all. If you let your mind stay, you'll screw up.
"Well enough," he answered curtly.
"Meaning I need improvement?" I bit back scornfully.
Sending me an effortless glare he answered, "There is always room for improvement. Perfection does not exist."
Wise for someone so young… "And what, pray tell, do you think I need improvement on?"
I hadn't thought about that…I guess that would be a problem with my eyes closed, now wouldn't it? "Do you have any suggestions?"
"It is a sad song, is it not?" he said monotonously, "A sad, perhaps wistful, expression would be cause for effect."
Damn. He says it so professionally, like I'm dumb or something. I couldn't help but shoot a chaste, disdainful glare at him before continuing. "The beginning again, please."
Sesshoumaru held the door open for me as we left the performance room. Hell, the guy almost had to push me out the door, I was so frozen with anxiety. Needless to say, his performance was flawless, what I heard of it anyways, but I wasn't so sure about mine. Then again, I'm never sure about anything? So what the hell. I went to stand next to my mother against the wall as we awaited the judges to produce the results. WHAT TAKES THEM SO LONG?! Glancing over at the other wall, where Miyako was, Sesshoumaru stood calmly, coat draped over one arm as he, with his usual cool façade, stared at the doors to the room from whence we had come. This guy is just too funny.
"How'd you do?" Mother-dear asked.
"Fine," I answered, like every other answer I had given going to contests.
"Good!" she exclaimed, smiling. "As long as you tried your best!"
And got a perfect score! Really, who does she think she's kidding? I nodded silently.
The wooden door next to us opened suddenly, and one of the judges walked out. A nameplate titled, "Hello! My name's Yuki," was pinned onto her sweater. Smiling warmly, she handed the rubric to me.
"We all really enjoyed your performance. You've got a beautiful voice and a wonderful accompanist! You can go out to the front, there," she said, pointing to a desk down the hall, "to sign out and record your score. Thank you!"
With that, she disappeared back into the room, and another person was called up. Blinking, I turned the sheet so I could read it. Fives were circled all down the columns, and at the bottom, the score read 50/50. Wow…perfect… Looking up to Sesshoumaru, I flashed him a rare smile. I guess some things are more perfect than others in this world, Sesshoumaru.
A/N: Hey all! I understand the chapter was short, but I was unsure where to end it. And for that matter, what to actually do at the end. But this, for me, seemed like the perfect place to end. In the next chapter, I might fast-forward in time a bit…I'm not quite so sure. I think I wrote myself into a corner. ^^; Sorry!

As appealing as it may sound to some, please don't flame just to get me to cuss you out. -_-; There are a few on my bus whom would die for the opportunity. 'Cuss! Cuss!' =_= And I can't believe what kind of sadistic idiots would do that, but obviously, they are here, in this world. *sigh* And I will forever resent them. Too bad!!!
On a lighter note, anyone know any Naraku/Kagome stories? Other than the ones by SinfulBlack? Tell me in your review! ^.~ I'd really love you for it! Until next time, ne? ^^ Sayoonara!
~*~*~Dark Star~*~*~
P.S. If I haven't already announced in this story (too lazy to read back), I will only send e-mail updates if you include your e-mail address. I will no longer dig through profiles to find them as I had done before! And also, please note, if you already receive e-mail verification of my updates, please don't include your e-mail! -_-; It will only have to require me to look through my mailing list to try and find you! I would very much appreciate it if you would…I dunno…follow directions I could say? ^^; Anyways, jaa!

People who work for for-profit companies, especially large ones, are always a bit uninteresting to interview, with media training and marketing instructions taking out all the sharp edges. CNet interviewed Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, and they got some very interesting quotes from the love-him-or-hate-him CEO.

As opposed to having massive libraries of printed books on dead trees, many copies, with all the distribution costs (energy wise) and using transportation again and again (cars or public) to get to those resources ?
Reducing energy consumption is important, so are some proportions.

Senator Farley Announces New Ballston Spa District Office Open
State Senator Hugh T. Farley has established a new District Office in downtown Ballston Spa, which is open for business.
It is located at 199 Milton Avenue (Route 50), near the corner of Ford Street and Milton Avenue. The telephone number is (518) 885-1829.
"I am pleased to open a new office in this beautiful and historic small village which serves as the county seat for Saratoga," said Senator Farley. "With the new Senate lines, my district has shifted and I now represent about 60% of Saratoga by territory and 47% by population."
The Saratoga County towns of Clifton Park, Malta and Milton are new to Senator Farley's district; he also continues to represent the towns of Ballston, Charlton, Corinth, Day, Edinburg, Galway, Hadley, Providence and portions of the city of Saratoga Springs.
The geographic size of Senator Farley's 49th Senate district has more than doubled with the addition of all of Hamilton County and the Herkimer County towns of Fairfield, Manheim, Ohio, Russia, Salisbury and Webb. He still represents all of Fulton County. In Schenectady County, he represents the towns of Glenville, Niskayuna, and most of the City of Schenectady.
Senator Farley also has a Satellite Office in the Johnstown City Hall and that phone number is (518) 762-3733. His Legislative Office Building phone number in Albany is (518) 455-2181. The toll-free number is (800) 224-5201. His e-mail address is email@example.com.
"Because I no longer represent Montgomery County, I have closed my office in the Riverfront Center in Amsterdam," Senator Farley explained. "While I am sad to say good-bye to my Montgomery County friends, I look forward to being in Ballston Spa and meeting new friends and constituents."

Google Nexus 7 – Price, Performance, and Form
Regular readers may have spotted that I use the Asus Google Nexus 7 as my tablet of choice. I use my tablet most days and it travels with me almost as much as my smartphone. My preference was for something with the portability of the 7″ tablet with the performance of the larger 10″ models: when Google announced the Nexus 7, I jumped in the queue and pre-ordered the model, which replaced my Apple iPad 2.
It's likely that Google will announce a successor device to the Nexus 7 this summer, which might seem a strange time to review the current model. If you are considering a tablet for productivity purposes, quite often getting an older model will save you money for no real world difference in functionality. If there is a new model released, it's possible that used prices for the outgoing model will drop and again, this could be a great opportunity.
I'm going to start with the design, where Google have given the Nexus 7 a very simple approach. The front of the device contains just the screen and the camera. As you hold it with the camera at the top, the right edge has the lock and volume keys. At the bottom of the left hand side you'll find some charger ports and a microphone. Along the bottom there's the MicroUSB port, the 3.5mm headphone port with the second microphone and speaker on the back.
Let's break this down a little. There's no rear-facing camera but I must write that in nine months, I've never wished for one (have you ever seen somebody taking a picture with their tablet and wondered if they feel as awkward as they look?). Having the speaker on the back isn't ideal for media but there's a huge bonus point for using MicroUSB for charging. You don't get a MicroSD slot or a HDMI port; if these things are important to you, then you're going to have to look elsewhere.
The back is made out of a surprisingly refined soft-touch plastic. Yes, it's plastic, but it feels robust and pleasant to hold. This is quite an important point: the Nexus 7 feels "life-proof." It doesn't have that solid-but-precious feel of the iPad models, instead it feels like you can chuck it into your hold-all and it'll survive the day. With the exception of putting mine into a case, that's exactly what I've done since July 2012…
Under the shell, the Nexus 7 is powered by a Tegra 3 processor clocked at either 1.2 GHz (multicore operation) or 1.3 GHz (single core operation) backed up with 1 GB of RAM. Storage capacities available are 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB. The front camera is a 1.2 MPixel resolution, the battery is 4,325 mAh and the device has 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. It also has a magnet used to lock or unlock the handset with the right case on it so you don't even need to use the lock key much. The 7″ screen is 720p resolution, so 1,280 by 800 pixels, giving it 216ppi. It's a good screen if not the best, being sharp and bright but with slightly muted colors. The 32 GB model is also available with an unlocked 3G modem and a MicroSIM slot.
As a Nexus product, the 7 runs the very latest Android operating system, which is currently 4.2.2. Now a confession: I sometimes find my Nexus 7 to be a little bit sluggish, but this is after spending time with my Nexus 4. As a reality check, clients sometimes bring in other budget Android tablets and the Nexus 7 is a whole league away in terms of smoothness and responsiveness.
In some respects, it's difficult to judge the Nexus 7 from a productivity perspective because Nexus devices are very much a blank canvas for whatever applications the user needs. Out of the box, the experience is rather empty! In my case, that means installing Dropbox, Documents-to-Go, Google Reader and Google Currents. The Nexus 7 uses the Google Chrome browser by default. The keyboard that ships with Android 4.2 is very much an improvement over earlier designs and features a flow or Swype-like input method that works well on the larger screen. Applications and games run well on the device; thanks to the Tegra 3 processor, the Nexus 7 is quite the gamers' tablet. Google advertise Galaxy On Fire 2 HD on the website, which is optimized for the Tegra 3 processor and looks very impressive.
The above written, productivity is also a measurement of how portable the device is and here, the Nexus 7 scores very well. I've already written that it's small and robust, which is backed up by healthy battery life. Google claim the Nexus offers between eight to ten hours of use and they're spot on. Battery life is a little weaker when using the 3G modem rather than the WiFi, but not by a meaningful quantity. The Nexus 7 is the first small size tablet I've used to offer genuine all day battery life if I am using the tablet for writing with my wireless keyboard. It's a little behind my Apple iPad 2 in terms of battery life, but almost half the size and weight to carry around. And to reiterate another point: the Nexus 7 uses a MicroUSB charger, so chances are that your cell 'phone charger will also work with the tablet. This is a small but significant positive for the Nexus 7.
In conclusion, then; the Nexus 7 is a very portable Android tablet. It offers a seductive blend of low price, high performance and solid battery life. I use mine as a no-frills productivity tool and it represents one of the best value devices I have bought in a long, long time. I'll be interested to see what Google announce this summer but I don't believe it'll change how great a device the current Nexus 7 is.

ZirMed Introduces Industry's First Message Simplification of Payer Rejection Responses
SimpleResponse technology streamlines workflows, eliminates errors and speeds reimbursement
Oct 27, 2011, 11:08 ET from ZirMed
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ZirMed, a leading provider of revenue cycle management solutions for healthcare providers, today introduced the industry's first technology solution to simplify payer rejection messages.
The SimpleResponse solution helps billers and coders rapidly understand and correct rejected claims by translating complex and hard to understand rejection messages into plain, easy-to-understand English. With thousands of insurance companies, there are literally tens of thousands of different messages that describe the same underlying reason for a rejected claim. Working through these different, hard to understand messages takes up valuable time and delays the reimbursement process.
To solve this problem, ZirMed created the industry's first solution using its proprietary SimpleResponse technology. This industry-leading innovation begins by providing easy-to-understand "translations" of claim rejection messages, including both a simplified message and one-click access to the original payer-generated notification for reference. SimpleResponse maps hundreds of variations of the same core reason to a single simplified message, meaning users can more quickly learn and recognize core issues.
Knowing the problem, however, is only half the battle. Being able to quickly resolve it provides the real leverage for ZirMed clients. That is why SimpleResponse completes the process by providing guided navigation within the claim edit screen to advise users exactly where to resolve the underlying rejection issue. Specific fields are highlighted and, to make sure clients know exactly how to address a simplified rejection message, detailed step-by-step instructions are linked to the simplified response.
"ZirMed's clean claims rate is over 98%," said ZirMed CEO Tom Butts. "However, that still means that all provider organizations will experience claims that are rejected by payers. We're thrilled to be able to offer our clients plain English translations of these cryptic rejection messages so they can easily understand and correct them."
Early client adoption suggests that SimpleResponse provides a 20-30% increase in efficiency in dealing with rejected claims, creating an ability to resubmit a higher number of claims more quickly, and thus resulting in faster reimbursement. There is no additional charge for this industry-leading solution; it is available as part of ZirMed's core claim management solutions, an additional value of working with ZirMed.
ZirMed simultaneously introduced the new SimpleResponse technology at the national Medical Group Management Association show in Las Vegas and at the Medtrade show in Atlanta this week.

With Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford on trial for bribery, there's speculation about who would run for mayor if Langford were convicted. As we reported yesterday, a conviction would lead to a special election. One of the potential names on the ballot is former Birmingham Mayor Richard Arrington. WBHM's Andrew Yeager looks at the revival of Arrington's political organization and a possible return to the mayor's office.
People are trickling into this storefront in Birmingham's historic forth avenue north business district. Color coded maps of the city ring the walls, interrupted by a print of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. It's the first meeting for the New Jefferson County Citizens Coalition since the recent city runoff elections. The group is led by former Mayor Richard Arrington. At the top of the meeting he acknowledges the slate of candidates the coalition supported didn't do particularly well.
"I don't know whether we misread the idea about people want change in this city or not."
Only two of the city council candidates the coalition endorsed won. It's a far cry from the original incarnation of the group. That old coalition was a prime source of support for Arrington during his 20 years in the mayor's office. He says at its height it was a political machine.
"We had a strong organization and we had a strong following and we could, particularly in the black boxes in Birmingham, the support was very strong. We were getting 75, 85 percent of the vote. I mean we could document that."
Arrington stepped down in 1999 and the coalition folded. This summer, amidst a Birmingham mayor facing a corruption trail and discontent with Jefferson County finances, the new coalition emerged under a banner of change. In the storefront, in fact, a banner across the back declares, "A Time For Change." And that change is…"
"In part, it was generational. We wanted to get young, some younger folk in. And so we have spend much of our, in the last three months, really courting young people who really have promise, talent and leadership ability."
Arrington also talks of displeasure with the current city leadership but doesn't reveal any specific policies or direction for Birmingham the group is advocating. Jay Roberson is a political newcomer who won a seat on the city council. He also won a coalition endorsement. He says he considers Richard Arrington a mentor and longtime family friend. But as far as what the coalition expects of him…
"I'm not sure, really, expectations they have of me. I'm sure there will be calls in support of the things they need to move forward in the city of Birmingham."
Former Jefferson County Commissioner Chriss Doss' time in office overlapped with Arrington's tenure as mayor. Doss says the lack of specifics from the coalition doesn't surprise him. He says at this point it's better for a political challenger to say as little as possible. In this case, someone thinking about the mayor's office following the potential conviction of current mayor Larry Langford. Doss says whether Arrington is returning to the political scene for himself or on behalf of others, he shouldn't be discounted.
"One of his modus operandi is to plan way ahead and to put together comprehensive plans. And I would think he would be doing something like that."
Do those plans include a run for the mayor's office? Arrington admits he's been inconsistent in his public comments and wavers about the decision. He says he's looking for someone else to support, but would be willing to step in and serve as mayor again if elected. While the New Jefferson County Citizens Coalition only formed this summer, the group can point to some success in the Birmingham School Board races. Four of the candidates it endorsed won seats. As Arrington rallies the political faithful, he encourages them to think longer term.
"Next year we got a governor, a congressman, a legislature, a county commissioner, a whole bit. We want to be ready."
So no matter what happens with the Birmingham mayor's office, Richard Arrington and the coalition intend to remain part of the political landscape. Whether voters respond…that's another matter.

Spring Cleaning: Washing Your Quilts
I have pieced quilts throughout my home, including on almost every bed.
This means they get used, abused, laid on, eaten on (like chocolate eggs for instance), read on, even dirty shoes kicked off on (bad boys!) and occasionally muddy paws trod on (BAD DOG!). So even though they are handmade, our quilts need to be washed occasionally.
Do you worry about washing your quilts?
The first time I washed a handmade quilt, I called my mom. She was the perfect person to call because she's smart, she's a quilter, and she is the queen of clean. Here is her advice:
1. The first step is to use good soap. There are a few brands she really likes.
- Soak Wash Laundry Detergent- Soak is a little more spendy, but is her favorite brand. She uses it for all her sweaters and other delicates too.
She warned me not to use Woolite for my quilts- which had been my first inclination. She feels like it's prone to fading fabrics.
A good quality soap can sometimes be found at quilt shops and definitely online. JoAnn's also carries quilt soap occasionally too.
2. She doesn't spot clean her quilts, since you want to be careful of the fabrics. She did say that blood can be removed with saliva… as many a good quilter with a prick to her finger knows.
3. Wash your quilts on the delicate cycle.
4. For hand quilted quilts she lays them out to dry on a spot of dry grass in the shade… never in the sun (which can fade the quilt).
5. For machine quilted quilts she usually has no qualms about throwing them in the dryer… particularly for the first wash… which can really soften up the stiffness of a machine quilted quilt. If you don't want the fabric to shrink and puff up at the stitching a lot, dry your quilts on low heat.
6. If you are washing a quilt with high contrast fabrics- like red and white- you can use Shout Color Catcher. Color catcher absorbs the dyes that might escape the darker fabric before it can attach to the lighter fabrics in the load.
Last, but not least, my mom's advice is that quilts are meant to used. They are works of art, yes. But they are practical, useful works of art. If you use your quilts, and they are a little worse for wear, that means they have been loved, and there is no better way for a quilt to live.

Great advice! Thanks!
I wish I didn't live in the desert with nothing but scrubby grass with lots of dirt spots in front, and an all dirt yard in back – I'd LOVE to lay my quilt out (all white – yum sun-bleaching) to dry.
Thanks! Good useful advice. Love your blog!
Very helpful! I firmly agree that quilts are to be used… I have small quilts on my kids toddler beds, one that gets used frequently to picnic on, and several others that get used for curling up on the couch. They need washed often! Thanks for all the tips!
Excellent! I'm a quilter and when I give someone a quilt I expect it to be used, or I take it back. I might start giving a bottle of this detergent with the quilt so they can clean it.
I've been waiting for this post! I've been wanting to clean some special hand-quilted quilts for some time now and no one could tell me how. (Most said "don't wash them"…ummmm, gross!) Thank you!!!
I made a copy of your Mom's remarks about washing, using and loving our quilts. I am gonna read it at out next Guild meeting, with your permission.
You are more than welcome to share her advice.
I just finished my first quilt – an over-sized crib quilt for my newest grandchild. Needless to say, I was so excited to complete it and wash it. I washed it in my tub in cold water with Woolite and added a 1/2 cup of vinegar to the water. I laid it on a table on towels to dry and covered it with a sheet just in case my cats decided to sit upon it. It's a patch work quilt with all cotton fabric and a felt backing. The next day when I looked at it the back had several stains that appear to be dye. I had per washed all the fabrics. What would you suggest to remove these stains?
Thanks so much!!

Comeback America Initiative Unveils Fiscal Frameworks to Avoid, Address Another Economic Crisis
Former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker Provides Comprehensive Recommendations to Put Nation's Finances in Order
WASHINGTON, July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the Comeback America Initiative (CAI), a non-partisan organization dedicated to fostering a national discussion around fiscal challenges and solutions, issued the "Restoring Fiscal Sanity Report." The report includes two illustrative fiscal frameworks that provide a range of specific reforms for U.S. policy makers and government officials to consider to put the nation's finances back on track, avoid a U.S. debt crisis and generate job growth. The plan outlines two approaches: a proactive, preemptive framework to address fiscal issues prior to a debt crisis and a reactive recommendation in response to a crisis."Putting our nation's finances in order is a critically important and challenging endeavor," said David M. Walker, the Founder and CEO of the Comeback America Initiative. "In order to effectively address these challenges, Congress and the White House must act soon. The Preemptive Framework focuses on cutting spending, making selected investments and engaging in a range of transformational reforms. It will also create more certainty regarding future government spending, tax policies and regulatory approaches. I hope lawmakers will act in a preemptive and prudent manner, but this will require strong leadership, political courage and reasoned compromises."
Both frameworks significantly reduce spending and debt/GDP by imposing budget caps on most major spending categories, reforming Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, reducing defense and other spending, and engaging in comprehensive tax and revenue reform.
Preemptive Framework
The Preemptive Framework outlines a number of major reforms that can be implemented in installments and, in some cases, phased-in over time to help avoid a debt crisis and maintain the confidence of our foreign lenders. It focuses on a number of key areas including budget controls and process reform, Social Security, health care, defense, other spending, taxes/revenues and interest.
This framework recommends a short-term, discretionary spending cut to bring spending back to 2008 levels (accounting for inflation) and includes a $500 billion bill for additional infrastructure, energy and other investments to prevent a double-dip recession and stimulate job growth.
According to Walker, "This framework properly focuses on the true threat to America's future, which is huge deficits and escalating debt burdens that lie ahead without a course correction. The key fiscal goal of this framework is to ensure that the nation's public debt/GDP ratio is brought down to a reasonable and sustainable level by 2035."
Reactive Framework
The Reactive Framework - which addresses the same areas as the Preemptive Framework - details what should be done should another crisis happen similar to 2008. The Reactive Framework includes accelerated measures outlined in the Preemptive Framework, lowered spending caps and debt/GDP targets. This framework also outlines certain Constitutional reforms to reassure the American public and foreign lenders that Washington policymakers will not revert to the present day framework once the immediate crisis has passed.
"If a framework such as this must be implemented, it will be because our political process has failed to avoid a crisis. If that happens, investors and the general public will have little confidence in the politicians who failed to act to avert what was a clear, compelling and foreseeable crisis in the making. As a result, the actions that will be necessary to regain confidence and stabilize the markets will have to be much more dramatic and potentially Draconian in nature. It will be show me time in Washington," continued Walker.

The Comeback America Initiative (CAI) is a Bridgeport, CT based non-profit organization that promotes fiscal responsibility and sustainability by engaging the public and assisting key policymakers on a non-partisan basis in order to achieve solutions to America's fiscal imbalances. CAI seeks to foster a national discussion around the themes in the book "Comeback America" with an emphasis on various specific policy, operational and political reforms to put government on a more prudent, sustainable and accountable fiscal path. The organization's primary focus is federal fiscal issues; however, it will also highlight the larger national fiscal challenge and engage in certain reform initiatives in selected states (e.g., Connecticut) and cities (e.g., Bridgeport, CT).
