Why do Nurses always look like hell?
First problem is the uniforms. Right now I have only one that fits. I am not allowed to have anymore from the trust due to financial cutbacks. I am not allowed to buy my own uniforms outside of the trust. I sometimes leave work at 10PM at night and have to be back at 7AM the next day. I am a clean freak so that means that everytime I come home from work I wash the uniform and put it in the drier before I go to bed. I do this even if I left at 10PM and have to be back at 7AM the next day.
I get up at 5AM to get ready for my early shift and take the uniform out of the drier and iron it. Then it goes in a carrier bag and sits by the door while I get dressed. The uniform has been worn and washed so many times it looks like hell no matter what I do. If you get caught traveling to and from work in your uniform you are instantly dismissed. They have already made a few examples.
We are told that we need to change at work or else but there are no changing facilities. I think the other section of the hospital has them but we were not allowed to use them. There are portacabins outside (a 20 minute walk away)full of mice and we were told to use those but no one has given us a code to get into them.
Staff on my ward have to change in the domestics cupboard just outside the doors to the ward. It is very small and usually there are 2 of us in there getting changed. When someone else comes in and opens the door....anyone in the foyer can see us. This especially sucks during the 1PM start when countless visitors are standing around in that foyer.
Some of us started sneaking to the toilets to change but they were caught and told that this is unacceptable and to use the supply cupboard or the mice-a-cabin as I call it. The trust will NOT launder or store our uniforms, or give out new ones at this point. Other trusts do it, and they provide decent facilities for their staff as well.
So my worn out uniform has been carried to work in a sainsbury's bag and I have changed into while trying not to fall into an old cleaning bucket. My normal clothes get stored in the sainsbury's bag on the floor of the cleaning cupboard. There are 5 tiny lockers for everyone.
I am still meticulous about my appearance otherwise. I plait my long hair and wind it up in a coil for work. I pin every stray piece in place. I always shower before and after every shift. My nails are short and they get scrubbed and clipped again before work. I wear minimal natural make up so I don't scare the patients. I wear expensive shoes to work. They are very smart and comfortable. I'm a vain little shit.
10 hours into my shift without any sort of break the other day I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror and nearly choked. Strands of hair all over the place, dry chapped peeling lips, bags under my eyes, stains on my face from crying after a death and a uniform that looks like it has seen heavy duty daily use since 1950.
This is actually very demoralizing because I am usually a snob about appearance and like to look good. I stay healthy and fit and take care of myself. I like expensive make up and beauty products and never wear the same outfit twice. I always take loads of time before work to try and look reasonable even if it means getting up at 5AM.
But that brief glimpse in the mirror showed me that during a long shift I look like the slovenly pig nurse that the public always complaints about.
If I could get a break during a shift I would redo my hair, apply some powder and lipgloss and clean my self up. Care assistants, secretaries, domestics and everyone else get time during the day to do this. I cannot even go pee without getting behind and making my patients angrier. Those of you who can take time during the work day for a makeup and hair check make me sick.
When I worked overseas the nurses bought their own uniforms from nursing stores. I never wore the same outfit to work twice. Like I said I am vain and can spend some serious money on clothes. I looked so much better. The uniforms I chose for myself were nicer with good labels and they were better quality and more professional than the shit the NHS gives us. I even bought uniforms made from bacterial resistant fabrics.
Older nurses that haven't worked in awhile may find this shocking as they were always supplied with fresh smart and clean uniforms every shift. They are also the ones who bitch the most about the appearance of todays nurses.

Thankfully my trust supply changing areas and launder uniforms, but what are your infection control team doing? Do they think that hygiene is saying hello to your aunt? I wont ask about unions as they are a waste of space at the moment.

Our infection control team is threatening us if they catch us coming to and from work wearing uniforms. They don't give a damn about the fact that my uniform is old, tatty and getting carried around in a supermarket bag. They don't care that we are getting changed in a tight, dirty supply cupboard or that the nurse patient ratio issue is the biggest threat to infection control.
Remember, its all about giving the public what they want to see, not about actually dealing with any issues. Joe Public thinks that the infection control problems are down to the nurses driving home in the uniforms. They don't understand that all the other stuff is a bigger infection problem.

I don't even know where to start. I guess quiting and working somewhere else isn't much of an option. Perhaps a group of you need to get together and file a class action law suit against your employer. Granted I work in an ER in the US and not in the UK but there must be some course of action you can take.
If you have the means come over here to the US. We have many openings for good nurses, and you get to speak your mind now and then telling MDs off when they get out of line.
Perhaps the grass isn't greener over here but I have never heard of what you are speaking of take place in the US - despite how screwed up it is at times.
Hang in there.

I do hold a current US nursing license Mike. Like an idiot I came home to the UK after qualifying. Family commitments are keeping me here now but I will always maintain my US license. I won't say which state.
Thanks for your comments.

Many things about nursing in 1971, which is when I started training, were seriously bad: non-existent infection control policies, sloppy infection control techniques, inadequate supplies of disposable gloves (coupled with non-existent supplies of incontinence wipes and I'm sure I don't have to spell out what this meant in practice).
Strangely enough though, every hospital I worked in had male and female changing rooms and we were always supplied with at least 6 sets of uniform which were duly washed, starched, pressed and returned to us, usually on a weekly turnaround. Each uniform also had one's name embroidered on it. How on earth has NHS management been allowed to get away with making uniform supply so much worse than it was nearly 40 years ago?

- Nurse Anne said...
Trusts that are trying to cut back financially are cutting costs everywhere. You get 3 uniforms when you start. If they become tatty or start falling apart or your weight changes you need to beg for more.
Some of the sisters found round about ways of getting their nurses more uniforms. They got busted.
One of my HCA's was down to one pair of trousers with a big gaping whole down both thighs. Took her months to get another pair. She was so uncomfortable.
Most of us are buying our own trousers. If we get caught they'll really come down on us.

Realized that I never posted a link to our Middle School U.S. Revolutionary Biography lesson. The format is not UbD, but it is similar and it is the format we use at our school. The steps we have taken have been outline in previous posting, which I will also link to. We continue to work on the lesson, however now that we have time to breath a bit we are also playing catch up in other areas as well. In small schools like ours we were many hats and only have one head! I'll get back to you with some finished products in the near future!

Christopher Williams believes that one little box changed the trajectory of his life.
Williams has been to prison more than once. When he was inside, he tried to prepare himself for the outside, for a chance to move on from the thing for which he'd done his time, by participating in job training programs and GED classes. But when he got out, that box — the box on job applications that asks if the applicant has ever been arrested or convicted of a crime — stopped him in his tracks.

Repetition Of Difference
Shades, nuances, scraps of existence......looking directly at an object can sometimes be a meaningless, even a destructive use of time…in society we are trained to look at things quickly, process that information and move on to another view…so much information and meaning can be lost in the action of moving on….by changing the expected angle of view, or re-arranging elements of an image one can derive another meaning from it, and if not an absolute meaning an abstract one which makes us look once again…that is all one can ask for, another look…(©) Pete Percival - 2013 All Rights Reserved.

Built in 1986 and renovated in 2006, this polished, urbane 216-room hotel in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood has soothing public spaces, luxuriously appointed and generously-sized rooms (the smallest are 408 square feet), skillfully discreet service, and the winning Blue Duck Tavern (the Obamas have dined here). It's so nice you wish you could move in.
After a massive renovation in 2009, this boutique reopened, and regained its place among DC's elite hotels. It's not as famous as the Hay-Adams, but its subtle blend of technology (TVs embedded in bathroom mirrors; electronic housekeeping buttons) and colonial charms (intimate library, working dumbwaiter) are second to none. All that's missing is T.J. himself. (Oh wait, no. Here he is. ... )
Quite possibly the most famous hotel in the capital, and deservedly so. The Hay-Adams draws powerbrokers from around the world with its impeccable service, great bar and restaurant, and elegant rooms, some of which overlook its famous next-door neighbor. P.S. It's where the Obamas stayed before the inauguration (if it's good enough for the President ... ).
Located in the historic neighborhood of Georgetown, the Four Seasons consistently hits the high notes with luxuriously appointed rooms, a Michael Mina restaurant, a massive tri-level fitness center, and exceptional service from a devoted staff. Georgetown's top luxury option and one of the best in the city.
A grande dame hotel that's hosted presidents and diplomats since 1901, the 332-room Willard is a D.C. icon dripping with history just two blocks from the White House. The exceptional staff and opulent lobby compensate for rooms that lack the flash of those at the newly renovated W Washington D.C. next door.
The feather in Starwood's D.C. cap, the 175-room St. Regis underwent a huge renovation (closing for 16 months and reopening in 2008) and still looks sharp. It doesn't quite match up to its main competitors downtown (the Hay-Adams and Jefferson), but its premier restaurant, 24-hour butler service, and spacious, high-tech rooms place it among the city's elite.
The larger of Washington's two Ritz-Carltons, this 300-room Foggy Bottom outpost offers the whole Ritz-Carlton package: stellar service, big and comfortable rooms, access to one of the city's best gyms (Sports Club/L.A.), and on-site Westend Bistro by Eric Ripert. And yet, a sleepy location and fairly generic design make it a less-than-enthralling choice.
Opened in 2004, the 400-room Mandarin Oriental has the best spa, pool, and fitness center in the city. The guest rooms are large, but the hotel's beautiful location on D.C.'s remote waterfront has its trade-offs -- nothing to do or eat nearby; noise from the Amtrak trains, day and night.
Forget gilded mirrors. The 86-room Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, housed in an historic industrial building, has the original brick and steel beams and a cozy slate fireplace in the lobby. But its aesthetic allure drops off from there. Service is excellent and its central Georgetown location is superb, but rooms are dull and the gym is disappointingly small.
The Donovan House is a sleek offering that's helping define Obama-era D.C. cool along with hip counterparts like the W and the Dupont Hotel. From its dark-purple-and-white color scheme, to its pod-shaped "cocoon" showers, to its mod lobby, and rowdy rooftop pool parties, the Donovan House offers a sexy night in the nation's capital.

Murphy blamed the proposition's failure on $50 million in campaign spending by opponents. The No on 37 campaign received funding from the Monsanto Company, DuPont and the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Campaign contributors also included such major food processors as Kraft, Kellogg, General Mills, Coca-Cola and the Campbell Soup Company.
"We were outspent six-to-one by an opponent that used every dirty trick in the book to mislead voters about what the proposition was about," added Ronnie Cummins, founder and director of the Organic Consumers Association, one of the key groups that ginned up the measure in the first place.
Cummins argued that voters were convinced by a "barrage of commercials" paid for by the No on 37 campaign telling them the initiative would hurt farmers, create unneeded bureaucracy and keep trial lawyers busy with frivolous lawsuits against mom-'n-pop producers.
He failed to note that a "barrage" of any kind of advertising only works when it's grounded in reality, and everything the opponents of the measure identified as problems rang true with the majority of Californians.
The vote Tuesday was obviously a huge victory for agriculture and the food industry, defeating a measure that would have added costs, created confusion and failed to add even a scintilla of safety to California's food supply.
Rather than waste any time popping the champagne, however, the forces that defeated this measure need to set in motion a program of voluntary labeling to be put in place proactively. The defeat of Prop 37 in no way should be seen as a repudiation of the Frankenfoods argument. Californians voted down a bad law that was poorly written and opaque on potential costs to the consumer. The underlying message that we should be afraid—very afraid—of biotechnology retains its traction with the majority of the public.
The only way, and I repeat—the only way—to negate those concerns is for the food industry to make the ultimate statement of safety by labeling its products, "Enhanced with genetically engineered ingredients."
Then follow up with a "barrage" of messaging that communicates the benefits of biotech.
None of which will sink in unless industry is willing to put its labeling where its messaging is. If it's so safe, then just say so.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Dan Murphy, a veteran food-industry journalist and commentator.

Custom EQing headphones for your ears
4 comments post a comment
As someone who prefers accuracy in reproduction I have always wished for a more objective approach for achieving it with headphones. Unlike with a loudspeaker/room system, the sound produced in the headphone/ear interface is not only dependent on one's individual auditory canals, it doesn't lend itself to easy measurement and correction.
So I was quite intrigued when, some time back, I ran across Siegfried Linkwitz's webpage on "Reference earphones," where he found that the perceived frequency response of headphones (relative loudness changes determined by sweeping over the frequency range with an audio signal generator) typically exhibited significant - but narrow - peaks, which could vary from person to person.
Linkwitz's suggested solution was a simple passive LCR notch filter circuit - to be placed between a headphone amplifier output and the headphones - designed to achieve a uniform perceived amplitude response for a particular listener and pair of headphones/earphones.

Antique Platinum Rose Gold Spinner Locket
A spinner is an item of jewelry, typically a fob or a locket designed with a simple mechanism which allows the object to literally spin or pivot 360 degrees. Here we have quite a spectacular locket of platinum and 14k rose gold with an alternating diamond pattern on the front and a back. Visually the locket has a sculptural quilted quality with a three-dimensional effect.
The swivel component is a rose gold semi-hemisphere attached to the outside frame of the locket using small pivots. The slender band is appointed with narrow bands of platinum, graduated in size rose gold orbs and a brace of platinum half moon forms which flank the affixed rose gold "O" fitting. The locket opens with a small notch to reveal a compartment complete with rim and glass cover. Perfect for a photo or small keepsake. Overall, the locket has a slender (not bulky) profile and can be worn everyday as a signature piece.
Date: Circa 1900.

I'm pretty sure 95% of the population already has a cutting board in the shape of my favorite state: Colorado.
Maryland would probably be less useful than some. :-)

This morning's announcement of two new Nikon CSC models (http://www.whatdigitalcamera.com/new...announced.html) has added yet another lens mount to the growing number of removable lens cameras. Both the V1 and J1 support the '1' system from Nikon, and sport a new sensor capable of some impressive feats.
What do we think of the new system? Will it revolutionise the camera market, or simply add another two models to an already overcrowded market?
And, more importantly, does anyone actually want to buy it?

Loans to first-time homebuyers increase
Another piece of evidence that the residential real estate market is improving is that the percentage of first-time homebuyers increased from 9% in 2011 to 11% in 2012, according to new data from ABA.
- |
- Written by Michael Mazur
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
The 20th annual ABA Real Estate Lending Survey, completed in February, had 261 banks nationwide participate, with roughly 85% having assets under $1 billion. Three-quarters of the respondents were stock-owned institutions and 25% were mutual or mutual holding companies. A little over 65% were commercial banks, while 33% were savings institutions.
Although foreclosure rates remain little changed at 0.98% among survey respondents, the average delinquency rate for single-family mortgage loans did come down from 2.11% in 2011 to 1.78% in 2012—another sign of improvement in the housing market, along with the decline in demand for mortgage loan workouts and other modifications.
In the commercial market, the delinquency rate was 3.31% for commercial real estate loans secured by nonfarm, nonresidential properties. Commercial real estate loan demand, while trending higher, is still constrained by the number of credit-worthy projects.
The survey also found that despite regulatory changes, adjustable-rate mortgages remain an important part of lending. For survey respondents, adjustable-rate mortgages comprised 17% of all one-to-four family mortgages in 2012. Fixed-rate mortgages continued to dominate with a little over 45% being 30-year fixed rates and 25% being 15-year fixed rates.
When it comes to sources of mortgage loan originations, retail predominates at 82%, which is a slight decrease from last year's results. Wholesale/correspondent came in second at 8%, while the internet remained at 5%.
Looking forward, the most frequent concerns stated by survey participants regarding the mortgage market in 2013—regulatory burden and compliance costs—are unchanged from the year before.

When you commute over twenty-five miles a day for work your vehicle is your work. Of the many considerations the road warrior ponders when taking a job far away from home, the proper choice in vehicle is often one of the considerations. This worksheet helps establish the most pertinent factors of choosing a vehicle that shall become your work by evaluating the costs of ownership as understood by professionals in the field.
Dollar Cost Analysis of Transportation
Considerations such as MPG, Depreciation, Repair Costs and Coverage of Warranty and Physical toll are all important in achieving maximum efficiency when choosing a "work vehicle." In the analysis contained herein it is also important for the reader to note that considerations such as towing and payload capacity are not considered in this model. Rather, this is system of how to spend the least amount of money on transportation costs and keep the most amount of the paycheck you receive every two weeks.
MPG, or miles per gallon, is an extremely tricky but important consideration. MPG is tricky because MPG is purchased up front when the buyer chooses a particular type of engine. In other words, a diesel motor that achieves 45 mpg, costs an additional $3500 dollars up-front and costs an additional dollar per gallon in fuel costs (not to mention the 35% premium on repair and servicing costs to keep that motor running). So clearly, diesel isn't a favorable choice unless the buyer wishes to wait 6 to 7 years to recoup the investment in which time he or she would be driving a 200,000 mile car that invariably would have other necessary non-engine related repairs to be made.
Hybrid is also an interesting choice. It also costs a premium, but the real jettison in fuel mileage is in the City driving, which isn't usually the issue for commuter type vehicles. Hybrid vehicles also carry an average premium to their non-hybrid counterparts of $3900. An important comparison is that a vehicle that achieves 35 MPG (non-hybrid) vs. a vehicle that achieves 50 MPG (Hybrid) saves the driver 214 gallons of gas per year assuming the driver drives 25,000 miles per year (714 gallons used at 35mpg vs 500 at 50mpg. That only equates to an $800 savings per year based on fuel at $3.75/gallon! That means that the hybrid takes 4.86 years to just break even assuming zero interest on the price difference! A buyer in this situation should take the $3900 difference and invest it in a savings account at 1% interest and they would be way ahead at the end of four years.
In sum the smart money choice is a four cylinder vehicle anywhere from 2.0- 2.4 liters in engine. Many would ask, why not a 1 liter engine? Answer what's the point of working so hard if you are driving a death trap?
The most overlooked cost in owning a work car is depreciation. Depreciation is the silent killer of the commuting worker because it is invisible to the driver on a daily basis. That said on average every mile driven over 15,000 miles per year costs the driver $.15/mile (based on Kelly Blue Book). That means that a driver who drives 25,000 miles per year costs themselves $1500 in additional depreciation.
Initial depreciation is also a common killer of the commuter. A new vehicle depreciates on average thirty-two percent when driven off the lot. This means that the commuter who purchases new is literally losing more when they buy more vehicle. The difference in initial deprecation between a $25,000 car and a $35,000 dollar car is $3,000 that the buyer of the $35,000 car suffers! While there are two exceptions to the thirty-percent rule, the Honda Civic and the GMC Terrain which both boast the very best resale in the business, used is always preferable to new when choosing a work vehicle. A used car only suffers from additional depreciation or miles added to the vehicle because the first buyer took the initial depreciation hit.
Often overlooked by the unsuspecting commuter, repair costs are the second largest costs bore by the commuting car buyer. Vehicles with longer warranties are always preferable to vehicles with shorter warranties. Also, vehicles with low initial quality such as KIA, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Nissan and Chrysler are less preferable to vehicles with high initial quality such as Lexus, Buick, Honda, Chevrolet, GMC and Toyota. Since a commuter will expire a warranty faster than a non-commuter, often initial quality is an important consideration of cost. Not to mention that a day in the shop is a day off of work and that is a killer on the paycheck!
Commuters should avoid vehicles that come with an expensive shop bill or extensive maintenance to ensure proper functioning.
Almost never considered by commuters are the costs they incur by purchasing a vehicle not focused on comfort. One hour in the car can be physically strenuous to a person's body let alone 2-3 hours. Seated in the wrong position, or in a car with poor ergonomics can literally deteriorate a person's spine. Chiropractors and physical therapists make a living off of treating commuters from the damage that poorly designed vehicles and vehicles lacking the attention to comfort cause.
Commuters thus must pay close attention to the suspension, comfort of the seats and accessibility of features such as cruise control, radio, and climate control when choosing a vehicle for work. Chiropractor trips can cost thousands even with insurance coverage.
Hopefully this helps you road warriors better choose your next vehicle.

Victorian Aesthetic Period Locket Pendant
Spring Sale! Marked down from $1250. Hurry sale ends April 1st!
The cornerstone of Victorian Aesthetic Period (1880-1901) design was simplicity. Perhaps this viewpoint was a result of the dramatic influence that Japan in particular and Orientalism in general had on jewelers of the period.
A rectangular pendant locket crafted of sterling silver embodies several of the style characteristics of the Victorian 1800s. A beaded perimeter, twisted wire work, saw tooth decoration and fringe are reflective of the archaeological revival themes prevalent.
The front surface is embellished with rose and yellow gold appliqués of leaf and foliate forms, the composition, economy of line and individualism of each element are clearly the result of the Japanese aesthetic. The interior reveals a fairly deep compartment complete with rim for memorabilia or a photograph. Please note the oversized spring ring attached to the top "O" fitting.
Date: 1880.

Saltine Cracker English Toffee
- Posted on
- 39 Comments
Saltine Cracker English Toffee
40 salted saltine crackers
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (I used peanuts, you can use whatever kind you like)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a large jelly roll pan (mine was 15x10") with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Lay the saltine crackers evenly on the pan (I put mine really close together so that they were touching).
In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Bring it to a boil and let it boil for three minutes without stirring. After three minutes, pour the hot brown sugar mixture evenly over the saltine crackers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips across the toffee. Let them melt for a couple of minutes and then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly across the toffee (like frosting).
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the melted chocolate. Let the toffee and chocolate cool completely (I put mine in the fridge to help it set up quickly). Break the toffee into bite-size pieces.
To store, keep in an air-tight container for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for a couple of months.
Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
YUM!! I will be trying to make this Hopefully it works out.. I let you know how I go lol. Love your posts girls! xx
Use crunched up trail mix on top….adds a little sweet and a little salty! Delicious!
Can you use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate?
You bet!
I have made this the last 5-6 years for holiday gift giving. People can't get enough of it.It really is so good.
Thank you for this recipe! This stuff is truly addicting!!! Can't wait to make some!
People always think I'm crazy when I tell them about this recipe, but it's the best! And I always have the ingredients on hand. You can also freeze it and they are delicious right out of the freezer.
This is a family Christmas favorite and it is requested during the year, too! It is addicting!
I have been searching for this particular recipe for quite a while. Others that I found were complicated. Thanks!
I have been searching for this particular recipe for quite a while. Others that I found were complicated. Thanks!
Dying over the ease and deliciousness of this toffee, girl! I'm thinking it's a must-make for my holiday cookie baskets for coworkers
I remember this recipe fondly from my childhood. My best friend's mother used to make it and it is so yummy!!! Hers didn't include nutes, but clearly that can only make it better.
Mmm, try sprinkling heath bar chunks on top instead of nuts! So good! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh dear, my friend Annette sent me here via her blog and I think I will get into trouble. Yikes!
Holiday hugs,Pat
We are so glad you stopped by and hope you'll be back! -The Six Sisters
YUM – This is the ultimate combo of salty and sweet!!! I think I will need to make this!!!
I just made these, OH MY…….they are so good. Thank you for the recipe.
What a super cool and unusual idea:) Love the salt and sweet stuffs!! Just dropping in from Mandatory Mooch and have been loving following you. Would love to invite you to share any of your favorite posts at Freedom Fridays Blog Hop (no rules and live now:)
Merry Christmas!!
Love your ebooks especially "10 ways to Grow Your Blog"!
My the bottoms of many of the crackers are sticky and a real mess!
Taste is good- but I can't give away this as a gift – help!! What did I do wrong?
As I said, tastes really good, but Almond Roca has no worries – I won't
be any competition. LOL
Has anyone used parchment paper instead of foil? Would that work ok?
Lynda, it actually can be a slightly tricky recipe if you don't get the boil temperature right. I remember last year I made many many batches and every once in awhile – FAIL! It was frustrating. Just remember to watch that mixture for a "rolling boil" then STOP STIRRING as it continues to boil for 3 minutes and only 3 minutes. You're shooting for the 'soft ball stage" in candy degrees which is about 235/245 degrees.
Give it another try with attention again to the details – it will likely work! Good luck! – Lise
Thanks for your great tips! Merry Christmas! -The Six Sisters
Parchment should work fine.
I found your recipe through Pinterest. I just made a half batch of these today & the pieces I tried were delicious! I plan to take some to a holiday party & give some to our neighbors too!
Thanks so much for the recipe!
I stirred mine the whole time while boiling with no problems!
I made these yesterday and they are absolute heaven. HEAVEN!
Camille, These looks so easy and tasty. Thanks for sharing at Tasty Thursdays. I hope you will link up again this week. The party is live at http://www.mandatorymooch.blogspot.com. Thanks, Nichi
We call this crack because it's so addicting! Trisha Yearwood does it on her cooking show too!
What is the easiest way to break it up into pieces? Can you use a cookie sheet?
Can't wait to try these!
Another version (for people that may not like chocolate, blasphemy I know) I have made these with Graham crackers and then sprinkled the top with coarse salt and chopped roasted almonds. We called them Skor bars. I am so making them this way too now!!
Since I am allergic to chocolate (weird I know!), I have made this and put salted peanuts on the top and made brittle! It is most awesome!
Can't wait to try this! Found you ladies on Pinterest and have been following since. I've tried this from someone else who made it but can't wait to make it myself, thanks for the recipe!
I used Aldi's milk chocolate chips on my first batch and they didn't melt! I had to throw the whole pan out. Started from scratch with Nestlé Tollhouse Morsels and it came out perfectly. I'm only using name brand chocolate chips for melting purposes from now on!!
can this be made with plain sugar or even splenda… im a diabetic and cant seem to find one
This is soooo amazing. My sister (yay sisters!!!) made it at Easter and we all could not get enough! I had a hankering for it again n asked her where she got her recipe…hence why I'm here just had to send a thanks and share how amazingly delicious this is followed as is!!! Remember crazy expensive Almond Roca?!? This tastes exactly like it but even BETTER!!! Thanks a million <3

I have a 2003 C3 that came with a fusion cam. I was wondering if I could upgrade to an acu-trac cam? I saw the question asked for a dual cam conversion, so i thought I'd ask about just going to a different single cam.
Thanks for any info , Kevin

Thanks for any info , Kevin
Its always going to be a question of cost feasibilty, Since I have all the cams needed, ( an extra set of Nitrous B cams ) all I would need is the rigging for it, new string and cables. If you don't alreay have the cams, you'll of course need them, in this case a new acu-trac cam and idler, and the rigging. How much will that cost you? The new parts from Martin usually are expensive, Most times its cheaper to pick up a used bow and strip off the parts you need. Of course, your milage may differ.

I had that same bow back in 03, the fusion cam was a good cam. About the only thing you'll gain with the AcuTrak cam would be maybe about 5-10 fps and a solid draw stop, not sure if it would be worth the investment unless you can find a good used cam really cheap. Both cams use the same DL modules, so the cable lengths should be very close, if not the same. The string length would most likley be a little different, but wouldn't be too difficult to figure out. One other thing, you'll probably need to change the idler also, I don't think they are the same diameter, I'm pretty certain the AcuTrak uses a larger idler.
Advantage Custom Strings
Thanks for the info. I picked up a cam for $35, still need a wheel. This is just a project bow. I have several Martins, but I always loved my C3. It got me a few deer. Then again my C4 with Nitrous cams isn't bad, or my Shadow Cat with Nitro cams, or the Rytera Triad with elite limbs and a dyna cam. Then there is the M-2000 cougar with a dyna cams, the scepter II (in pieces for now), the 09 AX, and the one that started it all, my 1995 M-41 speedflight cougar with Z-cams. Needless to say, I'm kinda stuck on Martin Bows. Can't wait to see what else is in the line up for 2013.
Thanks again, Kevin

Claims Clues February 1998
|1 of 162
This page
Claims Clues $ 3XEOLFDWLRQ RI WKH $+&&&6 &ODLPV 'HSDUWPHQW )HEUXDU\ Dialysis Claims to Face Medical Review ee-for-service dialysis claims submitted to the AHCCCS Administration are subject to medical review. Dialysis facilities are reimbursed a composite rate, and services included in the composite rate may not be billed separately unless they are provided more frequently than specified by policy. AHCCCS follows Medicare requirements for billing and reimbursement of dialysis services. Services that are billed separately because they were provided more frequently than specified by policy must be justified by supporting documentation. The AHCCCS Medical Review Unit will review dialysis claims to determine if separate charges for services included in the composite rate are supported by the documentation. If no documentation is submitted with the claim or if the document-ation does not support the charges, those charges will be disallowed. AHCCCS also is reviewing claims for dialysis services that have been paid since Aug. 1, 1995. Providers who billed separately for services normally included in the composite rate will receive a letter requesting documentation to substantiate the separate billing. If the documentation is not received within 30 days or if it does not support the charges, payment for those services will be recouped. Drugs included in the composite rate and which may not be billed separately include: · Heparin and heparin antidotes · Mannitol · Glucose · Antiarrythmics · Saline · Antihypertensives · Protamine · Pressor drugs · Antihistamines · Local anesthetics · Dextrose · Antibiotics (if used to treat peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis) · Albumin (if used as a volume expander) Laboratory services that areincluded in the composite rate and which may not be billed separately include: · All routine clinical chemistry tests. · Hematocrit or hemoglobin and clotting time tests incident to dialysis treatments if performed per treatment or less frequently. · Prothrombin time for patients on anticoagulant therapy, Serum creatinine, and BUN if performed weekly or less frequently. The following laboratory services may not be billed separately if performed monthly or less frequently: · Serum calcium · Serum chloride · Total protein · CBC · Serum bicarbonate · Serum phosphorous · Total potassium · Serum albumin · Alkaline phosphates · SGOT · LDH If any of these services are performed more frequently than specified, they may be billed separately. The services may be covered only if medically justified by supporting documentation. r AHCCCS to Require Tax ID on Claim Form HCCCS has begun to capture providers' federal tax identification numbers, and providers soon will be required to enter their tax ID numbers on claim forms. AHCCCS began capturing tax IDs on February 1. Effective May 1, all claims must include the providers tax ID number. Claims without a tax ID will be denied. On a UB-92 claim form, the provider's tax ID is entered in Field 5 near the top of the form. On the HCFA 1500 claim form, the tax ID is entered in Field 25 near the lower left corner. On the Universal form used for pharmacy claims, the tax ID should be entered in the signature box in the middle of the form. r F A Page 2 Claims Clues February, 1998 Fee-for-Service Not Totally Eliminated by PPC es, Virginia, there really is a fee-for-service recipient. Lots of them, in fact. The recently implemented prior period coverage (PPC) extends from the beginning date of an AHCCCS recipient's eligibility to the date prior to the recipient's date of enrollment with a health plan or program contractor. Effective October 1, 1997, the plans and program contractors are responsible for reimbursing providers for covered services rendered during this PPC time frame. These services formerly were reimbursed by AHCCCS on a fee-for- service basis. However, implementation of PPC did not eliminate the fee-for-service population entirely. The fee-for-service population now essentially consists of four major groups: · Recipients in the federal or state Emergency Services Program (ESP) · Recipients enrolled in Indian Health Services (IHS) · On-reservation Native Americans eligible for long term care services · The prior quarter period for recipients with prior quarter eligibility When verifying eligibility, providers will be informed of a recipient's eligibility and enrollment status. If a recipient was fee-for-service on the date(s) of service, claims for this services must be submitted to the AHCCCS Administration. Implementation of PPC makes verification of eligibility and enrollment extremely important, as plans and program contractors may establish policy requirements (e.g., prior authorization requirements) which differ from the AHCCCS Administration's requirements for fee-for-service claims. Providers may use any one of three verification processes. The Interactive Voice Response system (IVR) allows an unlimited number of verifications by entering information on a touch-tone telephone. Call IVR at: · Phoenix: 417-7200 · All others: 1-800-331-5090 The on-line Eligibility Verification System (EVS) allows providers to use a PC or terminal to access eligibility and enrollment information. For information on EVS, contact the Potomac Group: · 1-800-444-4336 The AHCCCS Verification Unit is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To contact the AHCCCS Verification Unit, call: · Phoenix: 417-7000 · All others: 1-800-962-6690 r Provider Should Not Return Check to Correct Overpayment ee-for-service providers who receive an overpayment from the AHCCCS Administration should not return the overpayment to AHCCCS unless specifically requested to do so. Providers should submit either an adjustment or a void, whichever is appropriate, of the paid claim. Documentation substantiating the overpayment, such as an EOB if the overpayment from AHCCCS resulted from payment from another third party payer, should be attached. If a provider returns an over-payment, AHCCCS will proceed with the adjustment process and recoup the overpayment. It will then be necessary to issue a new check to the provider, resulting in a delay in the appropriate reimbursement. r Cover Sheet Needed When Faxing PA Information roviders who fax documentation to the AHCCCS Prior Authorization Unit should ensure that a cover sheet accompanies the documentation. The cover sheet should list the provider's name and AHCCCS provider ID number, the name of a contact person, a telephone number and a fax number. This will enable an AHCCCS PA nurse to contact the provider in case additional information or clarification is needed before services can be authorized. Without such information, authorization may not be estab-lished, and claims may be denied. The PA Unit's fax number is 256-6591. r Y F P

This system is Awesome By Richard on 8/25/2014Richard would recommend this product to a friendThis system is awesome. It was up and running in no time. One fitting initially leaked, but simply pushing in the hose to make sure it was fully seated solved the problem. Monitor read 0 TDS coming out of the system right away.
AWSOME By John on 8/13/2014John would recommend this product to a friendJust removed a unit that the wife and i were renting with this unit. If i would of know about this unit before i started my salt water adventure i would of gotten this unit two years ago. I also have the drinking water hook up. I just got in the auto flush system i don't need a booster pump since i have an average of 65 to 75 psi of water pressure after the filterers. and at the line into the hose about 80 psi. This is the best System on the market in my opinion. I will more then likely up grade to the 150 when i go from a 38 gallon to my dream 250 gallon.
Freakin Awesome By T.J. on 8/12/2014T.J. would recommend this product to a friendDidn't think I would get excited about a RO/DI unit....I really like it though! It's very well made. All the added perks of the deluxe are really nice. Well done BRS!!!
Impressively convenient and easy to use. By anizato on 7/21/2014anizato would recommend this product to a friendThis filter is incredible.
It takes about 12 minutes to fill a gallon or so @ 50ish psi.
My water is pristine and tastes better than any bottled product out there.
My reef is in great shape thanks to the 0 TDS water. It is great to just have vast amounts of RODI water at home without having to go anywhere for it or carry it around more than a few feet.
Plus, the "waste" water from the black line is great for watering the grass, plants, washing the car and mopping, rinsing dishes, etc.
Use it almost everyday and still get 8TDS coming into the DI-Resin and 0TDS coming out. PERFECT H20.
It also has the convenience of being portable. If for some reason you can't have this unit permanently installed you could easily store it (keep the water inside, don't drain it). Coming with several ways to adapt it to your specific plumbing situation it is impressively convenient and easy to use.
Great Addition! By Maxwell on 5/19/2014Maxwell would recommend this product to a friendThis product is very easy to set up and use. I was very happy to find the filter monitor pre programed for each stage. Makes me wish I ordered this sooner.
Excellent By MechEngineer on 5/19/2014MechEngineer would recommend this product to a friendA must have for saltwater aquariums; your water company can switch over to Chloramines anytime so this protects you by filtering that and Chlorine. It took my water company a year to send a letter that Chloramines will kill your fish if you don't treat it. It came with a broken filtration monitor but BRS replaced it immediately. I've run thousands of gallons thru it and still working great.
Excellent By Luthor167 on 5/16/2014Luthor167 would recommend this product to a friendI'm very happy with my ro/di system. I have it setup to both provide great purity water for my tank and also water for the family. My next purchase will likely be the booster pump as my water pressure here is only 40 psi where I have it connected (Laundry room) and higher pressures not only increase production rate, they lower the amount of waste water created when the RO is in use. I'm building my mixing station in the laundry room tomorrow!
Buy it! By Curtis on 4/21/2014Curtis would recommend this product to a friendI have just started into the Saltwater hobby and I just set up my RO/DI system. very easy and works very well.
Buy it!!! By brandon on 4/17/2014brandon would recommend this product to a friendArrived in one piece and works great. Was suprised by how well it really is built...wish id got it last year so id saved money.
Great By Sam on 4/16/2014Sam would recommend this product to a friendLove this R/O machine
BRS 6 Stage Chloramines DELUXE RO/DI System - 75GPD By james on 3/26/2014james would recommend this product to a friendThis is a must have if you are going to keep a salt water tank. Even more so if you plan to keep a reef tank.
When I look at the cost of a 2 or 3 or even a 4 stage RO/DI system andcompare to this 6 stage one IMHO it is a no brainer. I always get the best product I can afford. This system is easy to use install. It includes everything you need. Providing your tank with the best water is the same as providing yourself with the best food. If nothing you should always have a good RO/DI unit.
Great product, packing for shipment needs to be better By Greg Dorp on 3/13/2014Greg Dorp would recommend this product to a friendI replaced a old RO system with this RO/DI system. The installation was very easy with the Mur-Lok fittings. I like the unit because it has a two meters one for the Filters and a TDS meter. The only problem I had was the unit came damaged, the water inlet and filter meter volume sensor was broken. Customer service was great an shipped out replacements asap. Then I found the connection between the first and second filter was also cracked when I finally was able to turn water back on. PS look it over closely before taking down your old system for damage.

Previously Asked Questions
by Jeremy on October 6, 2013, @3:02 AM
Hey I just bought a rodi clormines plus system and I was wondering what the blue valve is on top of the system. When I turn it one way the system has 60 psi when it's turned the other way I only have 40. Which way should it be turned.
Thanks Jeremy
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Jeremy,
The blue valve on top of the unit is the flush valve. You open that valve to flush the membrane. When the valve is opened it bypasses the flow restrictor which will decrease the pressure and increase the flow over the membrane. It should be closed when you are making water.
by joseph on December 3, 2013, @12:41 PM
My municipality has detected 2.47 ppm of Chloramines and want to know if the 6 stage system will remove the Chloramines? Also does that mean Ammonia will be left behind?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Joseph,
The 6 stage chloramines unit is designed to remove the chloramines. Because its designed for chloramine removal it won't pass ammonia threw the system. The thing that makes a chloramine unit unique is that it has filters specially designed to promote a series of reactions that actually break the ammonia down into its harmless components, unlike a standard system where that ammonia may not be removed.
by Russ on November 30, 2013, @5:49 AM
Please advise me as to what else I would need with this? Does it come with everything or do I need to buy resin, Carbon and such?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Russ,
All the filters are included (wouldn't work very well without them)!. It also comes with 4 different ways to connect to your water supply and is basically plug and play.
by John on November 23, 2013, @3:39 PM
Looking to start a reef tank. I have well water. Would like your opinion on which system to get. Looking at the BRS 6 stage chloramines deluxe RO/DI system.
Bulk Reef Supply Hi John,
For the most part having a well doesn't make any difference to the type of RO/DI unit you get with two small exceptions. The first is that you can know for a fact that your water supply does not container chloramines as that is something that is added by municipal water supplies as a disinfectant. The other thing is that your water pressure may be lower which generally means you don't want to look at the units that require higher water pressure (like the 300GPD Spartan) or you may need a booster pump. In your situation I would look at the 6 stage Deluxe standard unit (rather then chloramines) as there isn't any need for the added expense in your situation.
by Peter Frade on February 7, 2014, @5:51 AM
Just bought a used BRS 6 stage deluxe RO/DI system and was wondering if theres any way I can get a manual for it. Pretty much winging it after the previous owner gave me a quick tutorial. He no longer had the manual.
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Peter,
There isn't much to know (if you already have it making water, you likely have it all down) but here is a link to the online version:
by zach on June 22, 2014, @8:01 PM
How much water pressure do I need to run a 6 stage ro/di vs a 5 or 4 stage ro/di?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Zach,
They all use the same 75gpd membrane which requires 50psi, though it will work with diminished performance down to about 35psi. Typical municipal water supplies generally have no issue supplying the 50psi.
by David on July 16, 2014, @1:58 AM
If I wanted a 6 stage chloramine system that was water saver do I just add the waters aver kit to the deluxe system?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey David,
You can do exactly that :-)
by Curtis on April 5, 2014, @12:49 PM
Will my new 6 stage Chloamines RO/DI Deluxe system work for Chlorine? If not, can I change a filter for Chlorine? My city water uses Chlorine.
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Curtis,
It sure will, if you have chloramines filters you have all your bases covered :-)
BRS 6 Stage Chloramines DELUXE RO/DI System Instructions
Note this is our old model unit, which is being discontinued, only a few of these are left, grab one before they're gone! Chloramines are different than Chlorine and are used in 10% of U.S. water supplies. Standard RO filters will not remove chloramines from the water. If you are unsure if your city uses chloramines, call your water treatment center or city hall and ask. They should also be able to provide you with a water quality report as well. The BRS 5 Stage Chloramines PLUS Reverse Osmosis/Deionization System includes all the essential features necessary to remove chloramines and to start making pure RO/DI water at 75 gallons per day. Plus an air-filled pressure gauge, membrane flush kit and HM Digital Dual Inline TDS meter.
6 Stages of Filtration:
- Purtrex 5 micron depth sediment filter
- BRS Packed Catalytic Carbon Cartridge
- Pentek ChlorPlus 10 Carbon Block
- 75 GPD Dow Filmtec Membrane
- Dual DI Refillable Cartridge
Parts Bag Includes:
- 1/4" Push Connect drain saddle clamp to plumb the waste water line from the RO system to a sink's drain pipe
- Mur-lok Push Connect ball valve for easy on/off
- Filter wrench to tighten and loosen canisters
- Self-piercing saddle valve to make a permanent connection to household water supply
- Chrome faucet connector to make a non-permanent connection to kitchen sink
- Utility sink/garden hose adapter to make a non-permanent connection to garden hose or laundry tub
- Mur-lok EZ angle stop adaptor to make a semi-permanent connection to household water supply under sink
DELUXE Features:
- Oil-filled Pressure Gauge to notify you when filters become clogged and ensures the RO system is performing properly
- Membrane Flush Kit to help maintain RO membrane
- HM Digital Deluxe Dual Inline TDS (total dissolved solids) Meter (commercial grade) to help monitor system
- Float Valve that attaches to water storage container, automatically shuts down the system when container is full
- Filter Monitor with Volumizer to inform you when to change filters based on actual water produced and filter life
- Dual Deionization (DI) Cartridges to help with hard to remove pollutants like phosphate
Standard Features:
- Catalytic Carbon Rinse Valve for quick and easy rinsing of the carbon stage
- Automatic shut-off valve
- Mur-lok Push Connect dual EPDM O-Ring fittings
- 10 Ft Each of Blue, Red and Black Tubing
- All BRS Reverse Osmosis units exclusively feature American made DOW, MATRIKX and Purtrex filters. We also use American made Mur-lok dual EPDM O-ring fittings whenever possible on all of our reverse osmosis units. These NSF certified fittings and filters cost us more than inexpensive imports, but set our units apart from the competition.
