The government is expanding its research into alternative therapy payments, to consider more holistic changes to the way Medicare reimburses skilled nursing facilities, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced Tuesday.
Hospices can continue to rely on contract nurses because an ongoing nurse shortage is preventing providers from meeting their staffing needs, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced in a recent memorandum to state survey agencies.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recently updated instructions on coding hospice claims. Billing staffs should be aware of these changes, which went into effect Oct. 1, CMS stated in a memorandum about the Medicare manual update.
Spending on nursing homes and continuing care retirement communities is expected to roughly keep pace with total U.S. healthcare spending during the next decade, according to the annual "National Health Expenditures Projections" report released last month.
After The New York Times noted that providers are apparently gaming the Five Star rating system by enhancing staffing and quality data, federal lawmakers quickly put an indignant pen to paper.
Slightly more than half of the nation's nursing facilities reported abuse or neglect allegations as required in 2012, a new report from the Office of Inspector General alleges. Such relatively low compliance indicates that more guidance and oversight is warranted, the report concludes.
CMS releases new version of software for collecting assessment information ... CT hospitals must now inform patients of observation status ... CA assisted living facilities face multiple requirements under new laws ... Govt. launches Open Payments website
CMS clarifies appropriate use of power strips in long-term care resident rooms ...GAO: Integrating Medicare and Medicaid may not reduce costs on dual-eligible care ... Brookdale discriminated against worker with fibromyalgia, EEOC claims ... State standards for physician access under Medicaid managed care vary widely, OIG finds
When a skilled nursing facility changes ownership, the change is known in healthcare vernacular as a change of ownership or "CHOW." Because this could wind up endangering a Medicare provider agreement, It is imperative that more people understand the process, know the parties they're involved with and develop better awareness of the regulatory issues involved.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should loosen regulations to allow more people to receive care in the community rather than in nursing homes, a bipartisan group of Senators wrote in a recent letter to the top CMS official.
Long-term care providers should take pride in their antipsychotic reduction efforts, and certainly should work hard to meet the new goals announced Friday. But it should not escape their notice that just a day earlier, the White House released an ambitious national plan for addressing antibiotic resistant infections. The plan suggests that a facility's antibiotic stewardship is about to join its antipsychotics rate as a defining feature of quality in the eyes of the government.
Long-term care providers are being asked to reduce the use of antipsychotic medications among residents by 25% by the end of 2015, and 30% by the end of 2016. Providers have already achieved a 17.1% reduction since 2011.
Americans are the most worried about losing their eyesight as they age, poll says .... AHCA says MedPAC Chairman is 'spot-on' with three-day stay comments ... Medicare Advantage enrollment rises for fifth straight year, CMS says.
If the Medicare Part B program had used average Medicare Part D drug dispensing and fee rates, it would have saved the government $110 million in 2011, according to a report from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General released Sept. 16.
There's a looming massive report on all the hospital readmissions data in your area and the strategic plan your facility needs to pursue. It involves talking to lots of employees, gathering data, doing statistics and the actual writing, not to mention proofreading, and having your boss sign off on it. It's due Oct. 15.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is set to lift long-term care's exemption from its e-prescribing rule as of Nov. 1. This is bigger news than most realize right now, and there has been no indication CMS is going to postpone things.
This year, it is the day after Halloween that might be scary. On November 1, prescribers, pharmacies and facilities in the long-term-care industry must cease the transmission of electronic medication orders via the HL7 and e-fax methods that predominate today.
The seeds that have flowered into the burgeoning of ACOs - groups of providers accepting the responsibility, and risk, for caring for the health of a designated patient population according to defined quality benchmarks (CMS measures quality of care using 33 measures in four key domains) - was planted long ago, in the baby boom.
The next Skilled Nursing Facilities/Long-Term Care Open Door Forum operated by federal regulators will be Wednesday.
Don't let anyone tell you that long-term care operators don't know how to read between the lines. They might not have known to fear a McKnight's Monday news item before it broke, but it definitely has their attention — and apprehension — now.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should openly urge Congress to change the way therapy services are reimbursed, the nation's largest long-term care provider association stated in recent written comments to CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner.
The government plans to start a "computer matching program" to reduce improper payments from government health programs to providers and other entities, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced in a memorandum Friday.
Given certain realities about skilled-nursing facility inspections, we should not be wondering why cheating has occurred. Rather, we should be amazed it hasn't been more rampant.
Adding to the ongoing controversy around Medicare's Recovery Audit Contractor program, a judge has ruled that the government cannot award new RAC contracts until disputed payment terms are resolved.
A new Medicare hospice manual update includes instructions for which principal diagnosis codes are acceptable, and clarifies which codes should be used for services in a skilled versus non-skilled nursing facility. Billing staffs should be aware of these changes, which go into effect Oct. 1, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services stated in an educational memorandum sent Friday via email.
You had to know this was coming. Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that many nursing homes are submitting massaged staffing and quality indicator data to the feds. The alleged reason? So facilities could pull better Five Star ratings.
Skilled nursing facilities must complete a discharge assessment when a resident is transferred from a certified to a non-certified bed, even if both beds are in the same building, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services emphasizes in a recent memorandum.
Dementia sharply increases stroke risk ... CMS releases training tool to build respect for LGBT long-term care residents ... Canes fitted to the hip are better for stroke patients ... 'Mindfulness' training improves sleep, reduces depression in early-stage dementia
The Medicare stakes are about to get higher.
The rate of improper Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities has increased largely due to issues with certification and recertification statements, according to a recently released government memorandum. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services document summarizes requirements that SNF physicians, non-physician practitioners (NPPs) and billing staffs must meet for compliance.

A team of four Dutch creative studio's; Studio Drift, DUS, Digiluce and Rombout Frieling, has won the pitch to create one of the largest permanent interactive light installations in the world, for one of Switzerland's most prominent landmarks, the 680 year old 'Kapellbrücke' (Chapel Bridge) in Lucerne.
With the opening of Cersaie 2014 in Bologna on 22 September, the city will once more become – for a period of five days – the world's main focal point for ceramic tiling, as well as for bathroom design and furnishing. Visitors are guided to the fair by the striking 'trade fair towers' designed by Kenzo Tange, which have been part of Bologna's skyline since 1967.
For many years now, architects and designers have been giving Cersaie its individual flair, and not simply with creative stand designs. The exhibition is enriched by a wide range of special events that convey the atmosphere surrounding the fair's high-quality products to almost every corner of the city. One very special location is the historic architectural complex of Ex Ospedale dei Bastardini, where the 2014 Bologna Water Design showcase event will offer not only an Architonic Totem, but also numerous surprises and exhibits on the theme of water.
Our feature article on ceramics in interiors – along with the Architonic Guide, which has been produced for Cersaie for the very first time – will help you to find your way around the Cersaie exhibition and discover the most interesting new developments within the industry. We look forward to welcoming you at our stand in Centro Servizi, No. 9, in front of Halls 25/26.

Michigan woman accused of draining Waukesha bank account
Woman, 39, sought on $10,000 warrant
An arrest warrant was issued last week for a 39-year-old Michigan woman accused of draining the bank account of a Waukesha woman.
Carmela Ford was charged on Friday, Nov. 1 in Waukesha County Circuit Court with misappropriating identification information, fraud against a financial institution and wire fraud.
Ford could face up to 22 years in prison and $45,000 in fines if convicted.
According to the criminal complaint, Waukesha City Police were contacted on June 6 by Carolyn Schulz, who said that someone had stolen $21,200 from her savings account. The suspect had apparently emailed Schulz's bank requesting the transfer using her personal email account, the complaint states.
Bank officials told police in the complaint that the money was apparently transferred to a Bank of America account belonging to Carmela C. Ford, a resident of Sterling Heights, Mich.
Police obtained surveillance footage from the bank in question, which showed Ford withdrawing the money belonging to Schulz.
Officers with the Sterling Heights Police Department spoke with Ford, who allegedly admitted to spending all the money.
Ford is being sought on a $10,000 warrant, according to court records.

The Sacramento City Council gave "what should be the last approval needed" to implement a $70M loan to the Kings, although council approval "came only after considerable debate" about the actual value of Arco Arena, according to Tony Bizjak of the SACRAMENTO BEE. Under the loan deal, the city would end up with the arena if the Kings ever default, but the value of the arena remained unresolved despite the council's loan approval. While the arena was appraised for $87M in '94 by a private valuation company, the county assessor set the value of the arena and the property in it at just under $49M two years ago for property tax purposes. City staff members "have said they guess the arena would be worth about $50M to them, if they were stuck with it." Two pending court suits over the proposed ticket surcharge at the arena must still be resolved before a bond sale to finance the loan can happen (SACRAMENTO BEE, 4/16).

I think it was a good idea to survey the people as it allows the government to make satisfactory changes. Using survey tools like SoGoSurvey and also FluidSurveys can help generate accurate reports.

Tod Williams and Billie Tsien Respond to DS+R Plan to Tear Down Folk Art Building at MoMA
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
William Menking.
Diller, Scofidio + Renfro announced today that their reorganization of the Museum of Modern Art will include the replacement of Tod Williams and Billie Tsien's former American Folk Art Museum at 45 West 53rd street. Liz Diller said in her briefing that DS+R hoped to save the Folk Art building and repurpose it into a usable exhibit space or a connecting bridge between the new Jean Nouvel tower (which will have three floors of MoMA galleries) and the older parts of MoMA. However, "saving" the structure with its misaligned floors (to MOMA existing galleries) would mean compromising the integrity of the Williams Tsien structure.
One can imagine the logic of DS+R's decision, but Williams and Tsien are, like any architects, sad to see the demise of their 2001 building that Herbert Muschamp said "transcend(s) cultural categories even as it helps define them."
Silent Light Installation Illuminated Sound Pollution in Brooklyn
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
Scott Kelly.
First proposed in 2011, Brooklyn's Silent Light installation has finally become a reality. Located at the intersection of Park Avenue and Navy Street under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) in Red Hook, the series of gates frames a pedestrian walkway that passes through an area of heavy vehicular traffic. The structures are covered in LED lights activated by surrounding noise from cars to create fleeting light shows of various colors and patterns.
Brooklyn Hotel Bossert Conversion Shuffles Architects, Takes Step Forward
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
Scott Kelly.
After several false-starts, plans to re-open the landmark building as a hotel appear to be underway. Jeffrey Holmes of Australian Architecture firm Woods Bagot is the latest figure attached to the project. Developers David Bistricer and Joseph Chetrit of the Chetrit Group purchased the Brooklyn property for $81 million from Watchtower Society in November 2012 but progress subsequently stalled.
Selldorf Architects and Gene Kaufman have both at times been tipped to lead the rennovation, but neither is currently affiliated with the project. While initial prospects looked grim, the city has recently approved plans to change the building's certificate of occupancy, allowing for construction to begin with an eye towards a summer re-opening, a year later than expected.
A New Bench-mark at Governors Island
Friday, January 3, 2014
Emily Hooper.
|Brought to you with support from:
Southside Precast Products fabricates landscape architecture firm West 8's designs for an organic system of concrete benches and curbs.
When Dutch landscape architecture firm West 8 envisioned a new terrain for Governors Island in New York's East River, part of the plan included a section dubbed The Hills. The recently completed curving expanse of green space is defined by nearly one dozen curved sections, or "petals," of seamless, white concrete bench and curb edges fabricated by Buffalo, New York-based Southside Precast Products.
Ellen Cavanagh, Director of Park Design and Construction for the Governors Island Trust, said that the concrete pathways along the petals help define areas where the ground was formed to rise and recede. "They call it eyeliner," she told AN in a recent interview. "Thick and bold white stripes give your eye an anchor so you have a better sense of depth as opposed to one solid color." At approximately 24 inches in width, the curbs along Governor's Island are decidedly more massive than standard street curbs. Read More
New York Expands Public Plaza Program to Create and Maintain Affordable Spaces
Wednesday, December 11, 2013
Elizabeth Fazzare.
For the past five years under the leadership of Janette Sadik-Khan, the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) has re-appropriated underused street space as public plazas for pedestrians. The Bloomberg Administration–initiated projects have been well received in neighborhoods like Herald Square and Tribeca; however, some of the less affluent neighborhoods who would like to have a plaza have been hindered by the cost. Each plaza is sponsored by local businesses and fundraising for construction and regular maintenance can seem a daunting task. Until now.

New Bill to Allow Developments to Rise along Manhattan's Hudson River Park
Monday, November 18, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
Buildings will soon rise to new heights alongManhattan's Hudson River Park. Governor Cuomo just signed legislation to allow the cash-strapped park to sell 1.6 million square feet in air rights to developers. The bill will enable developers to build new projects one block from the five-mile waterfront park, which can now include commercial tenants, schools, performing art organizations and venues, and TV film and media studios.
After More Than A Decade, A New Office Building Opens on the World Trade Center
Thursday, November 14, 2013
Alan G. Brake.
Yesterday, something remarkable happened. More than a decade after the destruction of the World Trade Center, the walls and fences surrounding a small corner of the site came down and the public was able to glimpse a new stretch of Greenwich Street—which will eventually bisect the site—as well as Fumihiko Maki's completed 72-story tower, Four World Trade. The minimalist tower is the first completed building on the site, though tenants will now begin building out their floors.
Rick Cook of COOKFOX Discusses His Proposed Building Along the High Line
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
William Menking.
A new "class A" office building adjacent to the High Line, 510 West 22nd Street, is now in the planning stage and the developers have released a video of its designer, Rick Cook of COOKFOX Architects, describing the building.

Rebuild by Design> Ten Proposals for a Resilient East Coast Revealed
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
A year ago, Hurricane Sandy swept through the East coast—destroying thousands of homes, shutting down infrastructure, and knocking out substations—which resulted in $68 billion in damage. Yesterday, a day before the anniversary of the super storm, ten finalists in the Rebuild by Design competition unveiled their proposals to remake a more resilient coastline. The competition—launched by Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), among other participating organizations—called on the final teams to provide ideas for making the affected coastal areas more resilient to withstand future storms and climate change.

if things crash and burn then lupica may have a point. failing that it won't happen after this season and it would be doubtful for rex to go into next season a lame duck. but it's so negative to talk like this. the jets have problems just like the other 31 teams personnel wise. but what they do have is a really nice core group of defensive players and some players with significant upside. and sanchez isn't half bad when given the chance.
game on in 3 weeks. can't wait.

The offensive talent has wilted the past couple of seasons. And its not like we had a ton of it to begin with but at least we had some.
... we have a great gm & hc ...
... getting rid of either after 2012 would be idiotic ...
... that being said, they are going to have a good year regardless ...
... for starters - his ready, willing, and ableness to make any more that he believes will improve his team ... his ability to manage the cap in this salary-cap era nfl ... and his willingness to fine tune his vision towards what his current head coach is looking for ... and it is evident that he is very sharp ...
What about him do you have a problem with?
I don't believe he has the requisite skills to be the talent evaluator that this team needs.
And yes, he's providing his HC with what he's looking for but at the same time, he's ignoring the offense. You have to have a balance.
Ray, are you saying that the Jets do not crave attention and that it is just a media created illusion?
not too bright, huh?
I was talking about top 10 picks, as Jordy has pointed out.
More specifically, I was talking about how if he misses on two top 10 picks within a couple of years, it's very, very bad and he probably has to go. Players taken in the 3rd round had nothing to do with what I was talking about. Because, once again, I was specifically talking about the top 10 misses which are more uncommon and more devastating than 3rd round misses.
Do I really need to explain this? Is this really happening? He's really this dumb?
And he calls someone else a dingbat lol

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 10/21/14
Jeff Green is picking the right time to flourish. The Celtics roster now consists of 10 healthy bodies. Shockingly they have the most depth at center (4 of the 10); however one of them (Fab Melo) has no business being out of the D-League, and another (Jason Collins) should only be used in case of emergencies. Regardless, Melo and Collins are both big awkward players that offer zero lineup flexibility. That leaves Doc with 8 rotation guys at the moment: Two centers (Garnett, Wilcox), and just three each of forwards (Bass, Pierce, Green) and guards (Bradley, Lee, Terry). If the playoffs started today I think Boston might actually be OK, ideally you only go 8 or 9 deep in the postseason anyway. I believe the best available replacement for Leandro Barbosa is Jeff Green. Green is very capable of playing some shooting guard. A lineup of Green and Pierce at the 2 and 3 along with any of the three guards at the 1 could be successful in brief stints. How often do you actually need ...

The visit we have been waiting for is finally here. Take a look at this tweet, from NFL insider for ESPN, Adam Schefter:
Former Titans RB Chris Johnson is visiting the Jets right now, per team sources who spotted him in the teams' training facility.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 15, 2014
We know it is hard to find out what is going on around Jets' headquarters, but a source saying that they saw Johnson around the facility makes the most sense. We know that the Jets are not going to announce or make something like this obvious.
Could this be the day the Jets sign Johnson? There hasn't been the expected interest in the former 2,000 yard running back, some say because of the money he is looking for, some say because the league is changing.
Whatever the reason is, CJ2K is still available for the taking for the New York Jets. Will John Idzik be able to land this major speed asset while he is in town?
Stay tuned, as this story might play itself out rather quickly. It could be a big day!

Link to Original Source
But since a quarter of large corporations - $50m in sales or $250m in assets - don't pay any income taxes at all due to loopholes and offshore sheltering schemes...
Kudos on citing your source, but you're completely misrepresenting what the article says. The article states that, overall, two thirds of corporations don't pay income taxes, meaning that large corporations are actually better at paying taxes than other corporations. Furthermore, the article states that the "vast majority of the large corporations that did not pay taxes had net losses... and thus no income on which to pay taxes". Claiming that large corporations don't pay taxes because of loopholes and sheltering schemes is patently false.

This past week, I was much less busy than the previous week. I felt like I
had never-ending amounts of down time, especially in the late afternoon and
early evenings. I think this is a dilemma that minor leaguers often have to
confront- what should we do when we're not at the ballpark? Last summer,
we would typically spend our down time (in the afternoons) walking around the
mall or going to the movies. I honestly think I walked around every mall in the
entire state of Montana- twice. I also bet that I averaged just under a movie
per week last summer. This past week, I continued that trend by checking out two
flicks. I went to Mission: Impossible III with Peter Duda (a fellow Diamondback
pitcher and former Stanford teammate) and I saw Poseidon with Aric LeClair (a
pitcher who is currently rehabbing also). I thought they were both
above-average films and that MI 3 was particularly captivating. Some of
the spy technology used in that movie is incredible. Sometimes I wonder
how anyone can think that up, but I guess that's why they're movie writers.
I'm looking forward to the opening of The DaVinci Code on Friday. I'll have to
see that movie at some point next week. I think everyone in America has read the
book, except for me. I've been holding out for the movie, so I guess my time has
I've been following a lot of my friends and former teammates on-line these past few weeks. It's amazing how easy it is to keep tabs on everybody. I can hop on-line and check up on anyone in a matter of seconds, including my buddies who are still playing at Stanford, my former teammates from school who signed and are playing in different organizations, my USA baseball friends, and the guys I played with in Missoula last year. I've always been thankful for all the great friends that baseball has enabled me to make. It's amazing that I have played with guys from all regions of the country from my high school travel baseball days through college and into pro ball. Hopefully I'll stay in the game long enough to create enough friendships to be able to drive cross-country and have a place to stay in every state. That would be awesome! I probably won't be able to drive through the Dakotas because I don't think I'm going to befriend any guys in the game of baseball from up there (I don't even think they have High School baseball). I'm actually curious how many professional baseball players hail from North and South Dakota (if any). I'll have to Google that.
Editor's Note: Mark...Roger Maris was from North Dakota. I
think that's enough for all the Majors.
Checking up on my former teammates just makes me want to get back on the field more and more. In addition, I've been itching to get back out there every time I watch a Major League game on TV. There have been a lot of good games recently with good starting pitchers . Usually if there's a left-handed pitcher starting, I'll record the game on our DVR and watch it when I get a chance. I think I learn a lot about how to approach hitters by watching big-league lefties and paying attention to their pitch sequences in order to see how they set guys up. Guys like Mark Mulder, Randy Wolf, Barry Zito, Andy Pettitte, Chris Capuano, Tom Glavine, and Mark Buehrle are a just a few of my favorites to watch. All those guys really know how to pitch in every sense of the word. They change speeds and hitters' eye levels constantly and it's always neat to watch them keep hitters off balance.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and to all the Moms out there- Happy Mother's Day! Look for a rehab update next Monday.
Until next time………

Comment posted Now see for yourself: For Argyll challenges anyone to say SPR plans for Argyll Array at Tiree are acceptable by Lowry.
I have heard this man speak and, to me, he makes a lot of sense:
George Wood
18 May 12:38
Wind turbines Do they increase carbon emissions?
My name is George Wood, formerly a National Grid Power Systems Operations Engineer at both Regional and National Control Centres and laterly the person who developed the contractual and testing parameters of generation operations on the National Grid Network for Ancillary Services which included load management operation specifications for frequency response and reserve strategies. These strategies were carried over to the existing NETA balancing services.
I do believe that 'K Le Pairs' research and others have some merit in being critical of the minimal CO2 savings in the deployment of wind-turbines in Electricity Networks. Also, I believe that the more wind-turbines that are deployed, the situation will be exacerbated and that is why more interconnectors to Europe are currently being planned to export or import power to try and even out the wind energy generation outputs when excesses or shortfalls occur. In my view the economics of continuing the 'dash for more wind turbines' is nonsensical and will be detrimental to the UK's ability to compete industrially because of the increased electrical energy costs that would be incurred by having a higher proportion of intermittent wind energy. Wind energy costs twice as much on-shore and three times as much off-shore to that of existing conventional energy power stations and the potential for using shale gas through CCGT's at much lower costs should become an even lower cost alternative strategy, with lower CO2 emissions. These developments could replace existing power stations on existing sites without the need for new transmission connections. Also, existing nuclear power plants should be replaced by new nuclear developments on existing power station sites and again avoiding the need for new transmission networks.
I do not believe you can escape the double capacity build of power plants through the deployment of wind-turbines in the UK, as the possible huge scale of interconnection builds with Europe will not overcome the fact that in the middle of winter there can be high pressure weather zones over Europe and the UK at the same time. Power systems are designed to meet the highest electricity demand conditions which, as has been mentioned, will undoubtedly often occur at the same time in Europe and the UK. So, all-in-all, I doubt that a true economic case can be made for building many European interconnectors on the grounds of one system aiding the other to avoid capacity shortfalls and there must be a limited number of interconnectors that could be justified through daily transfer exchanges.
I offered Chris Huhne and DECC to set up a team of unbiased Engineers and Mathematicians that would, through my leadership, evaluate the UK's power network to determine the major CO2 emissions question and all I received from Charles Hendry through my local MP, Jeremy Wright, was an answer that 1MW of energy generated by wind-turbines is 1MW of CO2 emissions saved from conventional energy generation. This is clearly NOT the case. The other sdignificant area of omission by DECC is the carbon footprint of the double power station build requirements to support the defficiencies of wind turbines, their enforced inefficient reserve operations and the increased carbon footprint of additional transmission network requirements and their power losses through remote connections. Clearly, Ofgem, as the electricty and gas Regulator, should be overseeing that these analyses are accurately and unbiasedly performed to benefit the nation ecomomically.
If there are minimal or no CO2 emmissions savings through the deployment of intermittent wind-turbines, which I believe is nearer the truth, then the vast sums of monies, in the many £-billions per year that would be incurred and charged to the public, cannot be justified.
No doubt many of you will disagree…
Lowry also commented
- And where is the transmission line proposed to run for the Tiree Array? Proably from Oban to Dalmally, I understand. Yet more roadworks for everyone to enjoy in Agyll!
- Even Tilly is an eyesore, in my opinion. And the church wants another one!?!
Recent comments by Lowry
- When is Argyll and Bute going to publish its mini-count breakdown of the indy referendum vote here?
Indeed. The sad thing is that the SNP makes up so much rubbish the followers all believe it without questions. I was talking to some SNP folk on the day of the referendum and the figures that they were bandying about were completely illogical – however, there was no reasoning with them so I just smiled.
There is no evdience that Oban voted for independence but plenty of evidence that misleading figures have been used.
- So who's in the SNP Council Group today – and should they be?
Andrew Venard is Conservative and Unionist Party, or are you suggesting otherwise?
As far as I'm aware the LibDems couldn't find a candidtate.
- Will Luing's Atlantic Islands Centre get consent for Spanish or Slate Isles roofing slate?
When I lived on Easdale Island the local builder seemed to rely on retrospective applications in order to get building work through planning which otherwise would probably have been refused. He was never made to remove such developments although on one occasion, when investigating a house extension, the Reporter indicated that he was playings a dangerous game.
- When is Argyll and Bute going to publish its mini-count breakdown of the indy referendum vote here?
I thought it was very strange when the Oban Times printed the same figure. I intended contacting the editor to ask if he had evidence for the figure but didn't managed to get around to doing it.
After asking several people who attended the count I can only conclude that the SNP simply used their own (unreliable) canvassing figures and, of course, we all know that many people will lie just to get you off the doorstep. That's how the SNP, and other independence supporters, lost the referendum – people said one thing and did another.
I don't believe for a minute that the people of Oban voted for independence. However, if it keeps the local SNP happy then I'm also happy for them to carry on thinking that way. They'll never learn.
- When is Argyll and Bute going to publish its mini-count breakdown of the indy referendum vote here?
And how would the SNP know?

Nine years ago today my dad died. He is buried in a Jewish cemetery in Brattleboro Vermont, and for a handful of the years since he died, I have marked his passing by bringing bagels, coffee, and the Sunday New York Times to the graveyard and enjoying a leisurely newspaper brunch by his headstone.

10 Trigger Warnings For Moms

A Thorough Analysis Of Getting The Kids Out The Damn Door
I've heard that people who are in polyamorous relationships use the word "processing" to describe the act of working out the inevitable (at least I think it would be inevitable — different topic for a different time though!) emotional drama that comes with doin' polyamory. I may not be polyamorous, but I am Canadian. Continue reading
8 Mom-Jams That Your Mom-Friends Will Actually Jam To
This Mother's Day, celebrate your mom-friends with the greatest free gift a lady can give: A Youtube clip just for her, posted on her Facebook page! The days of Someecards have come and gone, but music endures. Here, in honour of this most hallowed of Hallmark Holidays, is a by-no-means exhaustive list of great odes to moms. There's surely one for every mom on your list o' friends. We're aware that usually "mami" and "ma" aren't literal addresses to a mother, but it's Mother's Day, so let's chill out and pretend.
This list is ranked, painstakingly, from least to most essential to the mom-song canon.
Zen And The Art Of Perineal Maintenance
No one wants to talk about their perineum. I guess it should come as no surprise, given that breastfeeding, that filthy practice, is too graphic for Facebook and Instagram. The part of a woman's body where a baby actually comes from? Have mercy. I mean, there are "private parts," and then there are private parts. Continue reading
Unlikely Mom Style Icon: Jeff Spicoli

What Was Your New-Parent Security Blanket?
In the days following the birth of my first son in 2010, I found myself unprepared for the physical and emotional cataclysm that is post-partum. Looking back, what helped me to regain my footing? Mostly love and support from my family, but also… granola. Lots of it. Lots. Continue reading

Fort Cliff by PuririWednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Classic-Pirates member Puriri has posted one of his MOC's for the first time. It was such a good creation that he made it to the frontpage straightaway! He has made a very high cliff and a great stairway leading to the fort on top of it. It's almost impossible for any enemy soldiers to occupy Fort Cliff. Creator Puriri isn't completely satisfied by the name of it, so any suggestion is welcome.
Do you have a suggestion for the name of his fort, or do you want to see the magnificent stairs?
Then head over to the forum and see Fort Cliff by Puriri for yourself!

Fabulous Friday

…..with Vivian Keh!
In order to create the luxurious feeling in this card project, I turned to the beautiful pearlescent hues of our Gemstones collection. While the sheen on the die-cut rosebuds showcases the elegance of the Gemstones cardstock as is, I dry embossed a bit of Sapphire colored cardstock, sanded and distressed the raised surfaces with Distress Ink to infuse my card with a sense of nostalgia.
Ah…you can never have too many close-ups, right? Here is a shot of the inking on the embossed Gemstones cardstock.
Gemstones does NOT have a sandable finish like our Specialty collections so when you sand, you will lose the sheen. This is a GREAT alternative…sand it so you loose the smooth finish and your ink will be more intense.

Really Reasonable Ribbon – Metallic String Iridescent
And another card for you!
I love the organic patterns in every sheet of our "Shattered" Collection. For this card, I kept a rustic, muted palette, creating very easy blooms by paper-punching and sanding petal shapes from a sheet of Shattered cardstock, taking advantage of the kraft backsides for some interesting variation in my blooms.

Introducing Jill Lebbin!
May 22, 2013 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, May Arts Ribbon
Who's having fun this week???
Today we are welcoming Jill Lebbin! If you have been with us the last week or so make sure you check out the winner list HERE. You might see your name there and don't want to miss out on your Core Prize pack.
Here is a little bit about Jill:
Hello! My name is Jill and I share my crafts on my blog Every Day is an Occasion. I am so ecstatic to be on Core'dination's Design Team! I absolutely LOVE designing and creating projects! Within the last five years I have learned that I am happiest if I am able to carve out a little bit of time to live creatively every day, whether it is by decorating my house, making a card, or working on a scrapbook. I guess I could say, it is in blood…I attribute all my craftiness to my mother.
Most of my time is spent with my loving family. I have a wonderful husband who is very supportive of my endeavors and two sweet and spunky kids whom I get to spend my days with. I am so blessed!! We enjoy traveling together, whether it is to zoos, museums, or lakes…but our very favorite spot to travel to is The Cayman Islands.
When I'm not spending time with the fam or crafting I am working on my fundraiser that I created and direct called Craft for a Cause. We raise money to help buy Automated External Defibrillators (AED's they help restart a heart).
Here is the inside scoop in Jill's layout:I chose a picture of my family as the focal point in my layout because they are my main focus. They are my life. Everything revolves around them and I wouldn't have it any other way. This is a picture of the four of us at a zoo. My son absolutely LOVES zoos, so we have been to 7 different zoos around the country within the last year.

Today we are introducing Heather Kaesgen!
My name is Heather Kaesgen; I am a proud stay at home mom of 2 boys Parker (13) & Hayden (8). They keep me very busy with all of their activities. You can find us at a baseball field 6 nights a week from April – August. Thank God I love baseball! I have been married almost 15 years to the greatest husband and father I could have ever of wished for. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home and play in my craft room daily. I am always making something. Whether it is for a party, a card, for the house or scrapbooking, I always have a project in the works. My passion is scrapbooking; there is nothing more precious than to see your family on a beautifully decorated page. We LOVE to travel as a family. We spent 3 weeks in Europe last summer – can you imagine those pictures!? My favorite place in the world is Paris (and the Outer Banks and Disney and Out West, get it LOVE to travel). We are starting a lofty goal of visiting every Major League Ballpark, all 32 of them, in the next 5 years! Did I mention we LOVE baseball. I can't wait to start that scrapbook!
And about Heather's layout…she is passionate about traveling so that is what she created for you today! A layout about her travels:
Today we are giving away some Pastel Cardstock! The colors in this pack are gorgeous, don't you think?
Introducing Suzanna Lee
Happy Thursday! Are you having fun yet?

This we began a TWO THREE WEEK event introducing our BRAND NEW Design Team! Each member created a layout just for their day on the blog so from today, May 13th -May 31st we will introduce a team member to you. Isn't that fun??!?!?!
AND TO CELEBRATE THIS EVENT WE ARE GIVING AWAY A PACK OF CARDSTOCK EVERY DAY! Tomorrow morning I will announce today's random winner…just leave a comment on THIS POST. And then come back and comment the next day. We will be doing this every week day until the end of May so don't go far!!!

Please include address and phone number in the email.
So curious to see who is our winner from yesterday??????????
Omgosh! That is the most amazing layout!!! I just love the colors and all of that texture!
Today we have new Design Team Member…… Suzanna Lee!
Check out more about Suzanna and her projects on her blog HERE. Here is a little bit about her:
What can I say? I'm just a woman who is obsessed with her husband, her 2 kids, her camera (a Nikon!), living life to the fullest and preserving our memories as we go! Michael and I have been happily married for 14 years. Together we are raising two amazing children—Nikolas, 10, and Mia,almost 7.
I am very diverse when it comes to styles and techniques. I can't claim any one as a main stay in my projects. I range from clean and simple to layered and packed with little details. The paper and photographs speak to me and I do what feels right. New styles, techniques, products, etc. are some of the major things that offer me inspiration. I am always excited to try new things and new opportunities, in life and with paper crafting.
When I'm not hiding behind my camera or cutting and creating both mess and beauty, I'm a physical therapist. I love what I do and love that it helps fund my hobby and collection! Who needs purses and shoes when you can have paper and embellishments?!
And how much do you loooooove the color combo of this layout??? I just love learning all these random bits about Suzanna.
And some close ups:
Ohhhhhh…embossing! Our 6×6 pads are a great way to add small deatils to layouts….they aren't just for cards!
Now a little bit about Suzanna's layout:
Every now and again, I try to do a page about myself. My kids love pouring through the albums and love seeing themselves but I know there will come a time when they will wish there was more of Mum and Dad. I know I love learning the little details of my parents' lives. This layout served that purpose as well as sharing a little bit about myself with you. Random bits about Suzanna Lee. I literally wrote the first 5 thoughts that came to mind. I did say random! I also wanted to showcase how amazing core is! There is one piece of patterned paper on this page, the majority of the paper is Core of one type or another. All those different lines come together as a cohesive whole! Amazing!
