I've been eying your nail polish for a while now, so the other day I decided I would be cool and steal your "one nail a different color" thing.ReplyDelete
And then when my boyfriend's 5 year old niece asked me why my nails were like that, she settled on the idea that I "ran out of grey so I had to use red".
But I love it!
LOVE those shoes! if i wasn't 10 feet tall, i'd so be purchasing those! :)ReplyDelete

My recipe for natural flea shampoo
Today is all about Spring (I think it's almost here) and running in the field and bunnies and sunshine and...
... oh no:
the return of the FLEAS!
Yeah, they itch, they hop, they bite, they give me a rash... I really hate those suckers!
But I live in a house of super healthy health nuts: no GMO's, no grains, no chemicals - nothing bad for you.
So flea control starts at the root here. And it begins with bath-time for Titus!
Mom doesn't like to use chemicals on herself or on us flea-taxis. So it's important for us to start flea control as early as possible in the year. That means good organic food, natural garlic supplements (you know: think vampires!) and things like carefully sprinkling Diatomaceous earth (say that five times...) and salt on carpets (that dries out eggs) and lots of vacuuming.
But today I thought I'd share our recipe for our all natural flea shampoo with you.
Here it is:
You mix all those things, give them a good shake, and then comes my least favorite part: bath time.
While I give my rubber duckie a good work out, Mom scrubs me down from top to bottom for ten minutes with the scrubby brush and a nice helping of my shampoo.
Nope, this doesn't smell good, but that's the point: the fleas hate it!
And when you're done and dry and after you've wrestled with the towel for a little bit, then the flea comb comes and picks out any extra fleas that might be hiding in your hair that haven't jumped ship yet. You'll see: it works!
There are wonderful natural flea sprays available too, and those smell a little better. They usually have clove, orange and peppermint in them. A great place to find those in C-Ville is
You can also make your own. But be careful: only use the best organic essential oils and sparingly, and always dilute and read up on them first! They can be pretty powerful and not every pet or animal reacts well to them.
Okay, so go knock'em dead and tell them Titus sent you!
I'm on my way to the tub now!

jolly jail time
By now I'm sure you know that I've landed in jail...
Being perfect is very hard.
Jail's not really jail. But it means I have to stay in our workshop.
Which, I have to admit, is actually kind of a cool place.
We make square things here. For people. And they get really excited about what we make, as if it were
a big piece of cheese. So I've decided that I'd try to make my folly up to Mommy by helping her out a little.
Here goes: I put on my apron and grabbed some tools and some of those long things that go in a square.
I wasn't allowed to use the big equipment cause you need to use your feet and the paws at the same time, and, eh, I'm a little too height challenged for that. This: I got this!
... ummm ... so you put this here... and this here....
... eehhh... and you put this over here...
Hm. The paws. It's the paws. I'm having some trouble. I wish my uncle Dave was here, he'd help me!
... hmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Em, I think this ain't my thang after all... now what?
Oh goodie (hallelujah): Mom said it's okay and I can go home now! (VICTORY!!!!!!!)
She said I helped out a lot and I was a good boy. (Phew.)
And honestly, jail isn't all that bad. It's full of challenges, but it has it's good points.
And every day I learn something new. Like: paws and waterproof wood glue: not a good match.

That's right. I'm revealing to you here, free of charge, the key to a good marriage. (You're welcome. I feel like I have to say that a lot here on this blog. It's because I'm always imparting profound wisdom and wise profundities.)
This week, I wanted to share with you 3 things we did this weekend that, I believe, also contribute to a great marriage… or at least, they are super fun and super fun to do with your spouse.
1) Go to the zoo: Seriously, people. Why? Because the zoo is awesome and beautiful and happy. Also, it's possible this one might be on the list because our good friends Jonathan and Katie ever so generously shared 2 of their 4 FREE tickets with us on Saturday!!! (Lucy got in free. I think that should be a thing forever… She should get into everything for free- movies, amusement parks, college… You know, stuff like that.)
I think I was arguably the most excited person in our group. Although Katie was super excited too, which made me feel less dorky, and also benefited us by making our husbands seem crazy for not being as excited as we were.
My zoo-induced excitement was- I confess- in part due to Harry Potter. I mean, don't all you HP fans out there agree with me that in light of that scene in The Sorcerer's Stone, the zoo is a significantly more magical place?
And it was good for us as a couple because a) we actually socialized with other people, b) it's a unique outing for us (versus our normal dates which feature our jammies and Netflix and the couch), and c) it's outside (we pale hobbits are what you'd call in-doorsy). Oh, and we could add d) they had Dippin' Dots.
If you have a zoo nearby, I'd highly recommend it.
2) Watch Netflix- For example, we burned our way through probably 70% of Parks and Rec this weekend. (Because we were so tired after all that time at the zoo. Outside makes you tired!) I love this show, you guys. I mean I seriously love it. And I'm to that point in binge-watching something where everything seems like it relates to the show and/or everyone reminds me of a character in it. (I'm Leslie Knope, obvi. Oh, minus the blonde hair, the pants suits, and the insatiable need to organize everything. So basically, I'm just hyper.) Also, Ron Swanson is *lit-rally* the greatest character in the history of characters. Right up there with Captain Ahab and Jean Val Jean. (Incidentally, I think he would like both of those men a lot, which was completely accidental of me.)
(That clip has subtitles for some reason… but it's still amazing.)
I know it sounds weird to say that binge-watching Netflix is good for your marriage (obviously I don't mean all the time). But a girl named Hannah, whose blog is fabulous, wrote about the virtues of this phenomenon here and articulates very eloquently the goodness of enjoying a story, laughing together, and a little surprisingly- learning something about love. And how it can be many other kinds of love than even just romantic love. And if you don't want to read the whole thing, here's the quote I'm thinking of from her post:
Because sometimes you are too tired to talk about your day but still want to hang out together. Sometimes it is cold and dreary outside and you are broke and there is nothing else to do. Sometimes you can really bond over long debates about which character is the best and how they would respond in hypothetical situations in the real world. Sometimes watching all of the seasons of a show in the rapid succession that is the miracle of Netflix will just make you get all weepy and know you married a winner.
It's so good. And so true.
3) Cannolis- Or, as I prefer to call it, The Cannoli Principle. I know what you're thinking. "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." Because how could you not? And let me just tell, you this principle is right up there with communication in regards to successful relationships. Also, it is the Single. Most. Romantic. Dessert. Ever. We shared two different kinds on Saturday night, because my husband loves me. And I really want another one right now.
Here's why I love cannolis: because we never eat them (restaurants don't serve cannolis, unless you're at an Italian restaurant, I guess- which we are sort of lacking at the moment) which makes them special, because they are fancy (hello. romantic.) and because they are ridiculously delicious. Muffins are my every day love and always will be. But cannolis are like the fancy cocktail dress of the dessert world. (For me, anyway.) Local schmancy grocery stores are the best place to find them, if you don't already have a local schmancy italian place that serves it.
It occurred to me as I prepared my post for this week that these 3 things were probably on my mind since they all happened (or… were eaten) this past weekend. Still, it was one of the most fun weekends we've enjoyed together in awhile! Not that we'd want to do the same thing every weekend, but experiences we have as a couple help remind us who we are, how much both unique outings and familiar nights-in alike nourish our relationship.
And really, these thoughts apply to more than exclusively marriage relationships. However, when you throw the cannolis in there, it's obviously marriage material…
I hope you get to do something different and something familiar with someone you love soon. If nothing else, leave the zoo and take the cannoli. And definitely watch some Netflix.

Thanksgiving in Las Vegas: From temple to ta-tas
Thanksgiving in Las Vegas is celebrated in a plethora of ways. The activities vary, but almost everybody does something.
Thanksgiving is celebrated in a plethora of ways.
Some people stay at home with their families, gorging on turkey and glued to the football game.
Other people work through the holiday, catching a potluck in the office or acting like it's a regular Thursday.
Some folks don't have homes to go to and others assuage their conscience by volunteering.
Whatever the activity on Thanksgiving, almost everybody marks the holiday in some fashion.
Temple celebrates THANKSGIVUKKAH
This year, Thanksgiving coincides with another holiday, Hanukkah.
This collision of holidays hasn't happened since Abraham Lincoln was giving lofty speeches, and it's unlikely to happen again in the lifetime of anyone alive today.
Temple Beth Sholom celebrated the newly monikered "Thanksgivukkah" with a catered meal, including turkey and brisket, latkes (potato pancakes) and cranberry applesauce.
"It is something that happens once in a lifetime, so why not" celebrate both, Rabbi Felipe Goodman said. "This is the country that we live in. It's a chance to come together with the congregation."
About 50 people attended the dinner, which was open to whoever wanted to participate.
Thanksgivukkah is such a rare occurrence, you have to take advantage of the opportunity, said Brian Bloomfield, who was partaking in the meal.
Bloomfield attended the meal with his 2-year-old twins, his parents and his grandparents.
"I personally believe that Hanukkah and Thanksgiving go hand in hand," Goodman said. "One of the things we're privileged to celebrate in this country is freedom."
Goodman stated that Hanukkah and Thanksgiving have common themes of freedom and giving thanks, so a celebration of the first degree was appropriate.
A firehouse thanksgiving
Fire station 1, in downtown Las Vegas, also had a congregation of sorts.
The firefighters in the middle of their 72-hour shifts joined their colleagues, their families and a few airmen from Nellis Air Force Base for a meal cooked by the firefighters.
The firefighters paid for the meal themselves, each chipping in $15.
"Firefighters are notoriously good cooks," said firefighter Mark Saragosa, a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. "We cook all the time together. We broke out some tasty recipes for the most part. Everyone is gonna be fat and happy today."
This Thanksgiving, there were multiple offers from people and organizations to "adopt" Nellis airmen who didn't have anywhere else to go for dinner.
Sean Moorehead and James Miller chose to dine with other heroes. Coming from base, they broke bread with the firefighters. And then they broke into the turkey.
"My last Thanksgiving I wasn't at home, I was in basic" training, said Moorehead, from Kansas City, Mo. "I really appreciate that they opened their house to us. It's basically just their families (here), so it's cool."
The firefighters invited about 20 airmen to join them. While less than that showed up, they were grateful to provide for the Nellis troops who didn't have anywhere else to go.
"We had to put it together real quick," Saragosa said. "We would've liked to get a lot of airmen, but if they're at someone's house, we're OK with that."
"It's very exciting. We're thrilled to death to have them here," fire Capt. Robert Horton said. "We're glad they accepted."
"It's a nice option away from home," Miller said. He is from Michigan and has served for three years. "We got other offers from people. This just seemed cool."
Supporting the military is very important to this group of firefighters, a quarter of whom served in the military or are still serving.
"We look at the servicemen as an extension of our family," Horton said.
It may not have been the airmen's home, but it was a home for the holiday.
An exotic thanksgiving
While home is an important part of the holiday for many people, some people eschew the family feeling and seek out another kind of Thanksgiving.
Like those celebrating Thanksgivukkah, they too go to a different kind of temple. One where they drink Wild Turkey, watch football and ogle women.
This Thanksgiving, The Horse Gentleman's Club gave club patrons, taxicab drivers and others some real turkey to go with the sensual curves of the dancers.
"We did this in L.A. and it was very good," club owner Victor Galam said. "We do the best we can. It's good advertising."
"I'm no chef, but I'm a good cook," he added.
Galam cooked the free buffet meal, which included browned turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans and Israeli salad.
"I think this is outstanding," said Lucky Cab taxi driver who identified himself as Ron M. "We work 12-hour shifts, 60 hours a week, and this is the best thing going on in Vegas for us tonight."
Cabdrivers normally get a little over an hour for lunch, but on Thanksgiving, their lunch is extended to two hours.
Ron would rather have been in California at his sister's house with his family, but that wasn't an option.
"This is the best thing going without a doubt," he said. "It's free, there's great food, great company, entertainment. We've got the football on TV for us."
Not everyone came to the club for the food.
For Tom B., his vacation just happened to fall over Thanksgiving weekend, and he was taking advantage of a guy's trip.
"We've had a great year, and we decided to come to Vegas to unwind," he said. "We've always had a traditional family meal, but (today) we're going to gamble, we're going to eat real good. … We could do whatever we want on this trip."
And for a waitress at the club who identified herself as Cindy L., Thanksgiving is just a placeholder for Black Friday, where she and her colleagues take advantage of the shopping.
"I didn't have any plans, so working was the better deal," she said.

When Hoes Attack: New Jersey Mom Beat Down By Group Of Hookers Who Thought She Was A Rival
Miami Hookers Attack New Jersey Mom They Thought Was A Rival
A New Jersey wife and mother recently received a not-so-friendly welcome from a group of Miami streetwalkers who mistook her for a rival and in turn delivered a prompt beat down.
via Gawker
Anna Burgese was enjoying another humdrum stay in Miami at the five-star W Hotel when, out of nowhere, she was beaten by a gang of [hookers] who believed the New Jersey mother (in her traditional Jersey attire) was another, rival [hooker].
Even worse, Burgese claims in a Federal lawsuit against The W, the prostitutes were given a getaway vehicle by the luxury hotel.
Burgese is the wife of a prosperous Philadelphia-based home builder, who split her time between Jersey and Miami, where the Burgese's were frequent guests.
Prostitution has exploded in Miami in recent years, with an influx of Eastern-European sex workers looking to fleece big-spending American johns. When Burgese brought her complaint to the Miami police, they weren't surprised at all.
"They told her that the women were hookers who were likely drunk or on drugs and mistakenly thought Anna was a rival,'' Burgese's lawyer said.
Burgese's lawyer also lamented the fact that no one is taking this story seriously enough: "She is the butt of a number of jokes and people are drawing conclusions about her appearance which are not founded. This does nothing to encourage other victims to come forward,'' he said.
There's no denying that this group of wild banshee skeezoids were in the wrong for attacking this woman, but the other burning question is: what was she wearing to make them think she was bustin' it open for bills right along with them? We're just saying.

Teaching Company. They often have really good sales so check the website and buy something at the reduced price.
I've listened (on CD) to about 10 different classes and my absolute favorite was The Renaissance, Reformation, and Rise of Nations. It starts in 1348 with the beginning of The Plague and follows European history up to the mid 1700s. The Plague would have been a horrendous time to live through (one-third to one-half of the population dead in about three years!) but boy, did it spur a lot of HUGE political, social, cultural, and economic changes in society.
With cheap labor in short supply, suddenly the Peasant class had options: they were in demand as workers, land was available because the previous owners were dead, there was more food to go around for the same reason, and they began to doubt the "divine" nature of royalty because Kings died just the same as any serf. And it all started rolling from there.
The class covers the religious wars, scientific knowledge of the time, what all the unethical Kings and Popes were doing over the 400 years and more. We've gained a lot of knowledge since then but human nature hasn't progressed as much...after many of the stories, I said to myself, "People don't change much, do they?"
I loved the instructor. He was low-key and conversational in his delivery which I really liked. A fair number of listeners who reviewed this course on the website find fault with some of his facts and his delivery but if you're interested in the time period and want a general overview, I wouldn't let it deter you. I prefer his style over some I've listened to that sound like an overly-rehearsed radio announcer.

Lux is a massive space-faring colony, traveling throughout the galaxy on a peaceful mission to discover and populate uncharted planets. Our vessel was built to study and sustain many types of lifeforms, and we need crew members to operate it as well as passengers willing to colonize new worlds.
The colonization ship originates from galaxy of Indux, a galaxy system with dozens of civilized planets, nations and empires. The galaxy is populated by anthropomorphic creatures, colloquially known as "anthros" or "furries", that resemble Earth animals with human physiologies. These beings behave much like humans, socially and in private, save for biological differences such as the water people' need for air-breathing devices.
Technology of Indux is highly advanced, as for example people have attained Faster Than Light travel (FTL), mass-produced high-density building materials, simple energy weapons, Augmented Reality system (AR) and multiple other similar systems.
In this sense, Lux is like a moving city in its own right. The ship has shopping areas, parks, work stations, restaurants, bars, just about anything you'd expect to see in a small city. Living is done in cabinets of four or five people, and are mixed genders.
This game will be meant mostly for social interaction, living and existing in sci-fi world inside a giant spaceship with anthro characters. If you wish to join the game, feel free to do so, but remember that you MUST write a short description of your character at the beginning of your first post. And not just what (s)he looks like, but also a hint of what (s)he does for job and/or what kind of personality (s)he has. Also, be realistic about your characters, no "I can do anything" super people or similar things. (as GM, I take my priviledge of "teleporting". This kind of equipment is prohibited without a good PM written to me why your character would have something like it.)
Also please note that if there are 4 or more players already, we'd appreciate if you'd first contact me via PM about things before joining the game. Getting too many people around at the same time can make the game very, VERY confusing.

Car Touch Up Paint Deep Key Scratch
What do you think about this video?
gegervary: Finally one repair that makes sense. I've seen other videos with people filling the scratch with bondo and then apply a messy thin layer of touch-up paint. I would rather use your method of using paint alone, but that brings up a question... Could you premix paint with some clearcoat before applying it? The idea is that after it's done I would like to polish it and wax it for a better blend and over paint. Thanks !
Terry Petsis: Anyone know what the leveler solution is made up of? Thinking of making my own.
Nigel Jones: Is there another name for the Paint Levelling Solvent? because i cannot find this item on eBay.
lana6335: Hi... Where can I buy the leveling solvent?
Jordan M: i really just messed up! i done this with filler as the scratch was very deep.. but then i used spray paint instead of touch up paint (on guidence of halfords that it would work the same) and now the scratch has gone but im left with an obvoius patch that has been painted, as its higher than that of thr surromding area! was goig to rub tcut like crazy on it to get rid of what ive done?
any1 know what to do ??
1171karl: Maybe $49 (£36) is a bit steep. Think I'll take my chances with standard products
Lifeizrigged: you forgot to polish and wax it
SacredSapphireGaming [SSG]: Where do I order the touch up paint from?
Cameron Hollis: I've found simply applying regular (not the super thick paint) touch-up paint a little thick in the scratch (leaves a little edge around the lip of the scratch where the paint didn't sink in to tye "valley" of the scratch), let dry a little (5 minutes or so), and then apply a new layer over the previous area. Quickly wipeoff what you've just applied with a rag. This leaves just enough paint in the scratch while removing all the excss touch-up paint from the unscratched surface. The second layer softens the first layer of touch-up just enough to remove the excess paint.
Before I start I clean the scratch with a q-tip with 50/50 mix rubbing alcohol and water. This helps to remove any wax, oil, dirt, and any other contaminates that'll keep the paint from sticking. Clean just the scratch. Not the whole area around the scratch. Use a cean q-tip to ensure it's all dry.
This is just a very simple way to fix a scratch quickly until you can have a detailer fix it professionally. Based on the color of your vehicle, upon close inspection anyone will be able to find where a scratch was filled in. My Ram is graphite. Therefore the scratches disappear easily with my down n dirty method. My electric blue Porsche and pale green Lexus LX show the fixed scratches a little easier as the touch-up paint shows slightly darker against the clear coated paint. So please test with caution. Again this is not meant to be a professional fix. Just a quick and simple temporary fix you can do in under 6 minutes, until your preferred detail shop can sand out the scratch from the clear coat.
The Ram was keyed all the way down through the paint. Therefore the entire side had to be repainted. We were going on a road trip with the5th wheel just after the "incident" so I went ahead and filled the gash in my way to make it less obvious during our travels. Then when we returned two months later the insurance took care of the paint work.
Jonathan Lee: Thank you
ömer işman: protect against scratching the door
Serious Black: Where do you find the solvent?
B T: I would have wet sanded with 1500 grit, buffed, then used the kit if needed.
Robert Lee: What is exactly the paint leveling fluid and where do you get it?
Bad Company: Ok paint solvent....details? There are many kinds of strippers and solvents. I have watched many videos and nobody has explained.
Zocky Ozy: I've been researching into painting with a spray gun and discovered a great website at Magic Painter Method (google it if you are interested)
Pd Mahesh Sharma: you should apply a brush lacquer clear coat on top of that and cut and polish after few hrs .
All in One: There are several factors in getting a good result. One place I found that succeeds in merging these is the Magic Painter Method (google it if you're interested) definately the no.1 course that I've seen. look at this amazing site.
Toma Lipa: There are several components to doing a pro job. One resource I found which successfully combines these is the Magic Painter Method (check it out on google) without a doubt the best course i've heard of. look at this extraordinary website.

Community college faculty show high levels of interest and engagement in OER and are likely to promote its use to colleagues, according to preliminary results from a national effort to expand community college degree programs.
The study, Launching OER Degree Pathways: An Early Snapshot of Achieving the Dream's OER Degree Initiative and Emerging Lessons, was released by Achieving the Dream (ATD) and conducted by SRI International and the rpk GROUP.
The report indicates that faculty at colleges participating in ATD's OER Degree Initiative are changing their teaching and that students are at least as or more engaged using OER courses than students in non-OER classrooms.
Eighty-four percent of faculty members surveyed said students in the new OER courses had the same or a higher level of engagement with the learning materials as compared to courses they have taught using traditional course materials.
Meanwhile, faculty with experience in using open resources who received assistance from technology specialists and librarians in developing their courses were most likely to report changes in their teaching, the report says.

Do ELT course books still have a future?
May 25th
The answer to my question proved complicated, here are my presentation slides from the IATEFL Conference in Birmingham in April 2016, in which I revisited research into the future of the ELT coursebook that I started in 2010.
In my research I found printed coursebooks continue to be widely used, and the take up of digital alternatives has been slower than I predicted in 2010.
Teachers and students: online outside the classroom, offline inside the classroom.
[Publisher comment]
I also found that the publishing sector is struggling to make money from coursebooks and digital alternatives, as governments cut budgets, consumers expect content for free, and the result has been very challenging for people involved in the sector, particularly authors. There are some interesting developments and initiatives, but important pedagogical issues still need to be resolved.
Follow the money
Apr 8th
I recently contributed to an article published by Sylvia Guinan's blog on future trends in digital learning in which I concluded with the quote "follow the money…". This was interpreted by some readers as meaning that you should focus on doing things that make you money, whereas what I meant was that to understand the behaviour of new businesses active in English Language Teaching (ELT) you often need to look at their financial motivation and how they plan to make money from their efforts.
"Follow the money" was coined in the 1975 film "All the President's Men" to show how journalists can uncover illegal behaviour by following money trails. But the term is also useful for understanding perfectly legal behaviour, even though some find the idea of big business making big bucks from education distasteful.
So, what are ELT's money trails, and what do they mean? And why does this matter?
Is there an app for getting language learners reading
Feb 14th
My Guardian Weekly article on the opportunity that mobile devices offer for graded readers is available in today's issue. In the article I review the OUP "Bookworm" iPhone/iPad apps and discuss the opportunities and challenges that publishers face in making mobile versions of their graded reader titles.
ESU Awards: have the digital entries got any better this year?
Nov 13th
A year ago I posted an article on this site that was critical of the entries for the Duke of Edinburgh's "President's Award" for innovation and good design in digital materials for English language learning. I was a judge again this year, and I suppose the answer to my question above is "yes, they are somewhat better, but nowhere near good enough". The winner was Cambridge English Online's Phonetics Focus app, which we felt was a great tool for teachers and learners to learn the Phonemic alphabet, with a clear and attractive user interface and visual design. There were some other interesting entries, though we felt a couple were not quite finished enough for us to consider and we have contacted their developers to explain this. Otherwise, we were relieved to see some mobile apps, albeit of variable quality, though surprised to see CDROMS, even for entries that were web-based.
What next for mobile language learning?
Jul 20th
It's a year since I started Constellata and I have been using this anniversary to reflect further on the growing area of mobile learning.
This is a fast changing area and there are no definitive answers, and my views are likely to change during my company's second year of trading.

Easter Design - Layering
Friday, April 6, 2012
I got this idea from Julep's blog. They call it "Color Blocking", I just call it layering. I used China Glaze Go Go Pink and Julep Renee on Essie Mint Candy Apple, which I applied yesterday. I tested these two colors on my nail wheel to see which looked the best. The pink on top looked weird. Hopefully this will stay on for Easter. It's super cute and fun. I may try other combinations later today and upload them, just to give an idea of some other easter color combinations that work.

Hospital Trust Criticised Over Lack Of Communication
The Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust's commitment to Islanders is being questioned following a passionate council debate over mainland hospital travel warrants.
Health Overview Committee Chairman, Dudley Mumford, warned that the Trust's communications have been "dire" and if Associate Director of RCHT Strategy, John Curnow had not attended the meeting, the matter would have been taken to a "higher authority."
Councillors criticised Curnow for repeatedly ignoring questions from the Council and the IoS LINK organisation over changes to policy and procedure and they demanded that he should prove or retract his Trust's allegation that islanders were abusing the medical travel ticket scheme.
This comes at a time when the Trust requires Scilly's support to apply for Foundation Trust status or risk being taken over.
The subsidised hospital travel issue flared up in October when RHCT announced they would force patients to pay the full mainland travel fare up front and then claim it back. The Trust said the changes were to improve and maintain the service in a streamlined way that met their auditing requirements, but the Council vowed to fight the proposal.
There were concerns that islanders needing regular treatment, such as cancer patients, could be hundreds of pounds out-of-pocket while awaiting reimbursement.
The fierce opposition appears to have worked since Mr Curnow agreed in the meeting that the Trust would scrap the planned changes, instead retaining the current system where patients pay £5 and are issued a travel warrant.
A dedicated warrant phone line would be used to assist off-islanders and local GPs would administer who would travel as an escort, Curnow said.
He also suggested a leaflet drop to inform islanders but Sue Williams of health watchdog, LINK, insisted that the Royal Mail delivered the information to every home as she felt it was an important message to communicate.
Trust 'Should Retract Allegations' About Islanders
The meeting has exposed deep-seated issues with the treatment of the Islands by the RCHT.
The Trust's general communication with the bodies it is supposed to consult with was heavily criticised.
But Councillors pointed out that, while the Trust wasn't prepared to answer Council and Link watchdog questions, it appeared keen to share its own view of Scillonians.
Dudley explained that an RHCT official openly talked about islanders abusing medical tickets during a meeting at the Health Centre.
That prompted Amanda Martin to demand John Curnow retract or substantiate the claims.
She told him there was "no room for wiggling" and the reputation of the whole community was at stake.
Mr Curnow said he wasn't present at that meeting.
Aisling Hick was concerned that although no evidence had been presented to show that residents were playing the system, the allegation was viewed as fact by the helicopter operator.
British International Helicopters is now rigidly enforcing a £25 fee for changing a medical ticket.
Dudley Mumford presented correspondence from BIH boss, Tony Jones, claiming his company had become a "victim of our good nature by NHS passengers abusing the system."
He said last minute changes to NHS bookings left unsold seats on full flights.
BIH say they offer the NHS a discount and "in these difficult economic times this beneficent behaviour is not justified"'.
Tony's letter adds BIH may bring in discounted, non-refundable tickets in the future and if the NHS wants those they will waive a change fee.
Dudley said a new sign at St Mary's Hospital shows that RCHT bosses were "party" to the change of helicopter policy, claiming the charge was imposed without any consultation and just the "stroke of a pen."
There was no mechanism for appealing the change fee, which Dudley felt was wrong, as there could be a valid reason.
Cost Saving 'Could Backfire'
The NHS was warned that the recent cost-saving exercise could backfire.
Sue Wiliams said nationally available NHS leaflet HC12 states that islanders should pay no more than £5 to reach mainland appointments.
Most residents don't claim for the additional costs of onward travel or accommodation after arrival in Cornwall.
She warned that, if the NHS was getting picky about funding the warrant scheme, islanders could justifiably bill the RCHT for all their travel costs, which could exceed £150.
Councillors also expressed frustration that RCHT still hasn't sorted out an acceptable appointment booking procedure.
At a consultation session in the Autumn, Trust Chairman Martin Watts admitted the system was "broke" by scheduling times that didn't work with travel timetables and required an overnight stay .
Amanda Martin told John Curnow the issue had "been round the block" for years and "it would be nice if we felt we were listened to seriously."
She added that the Trust shouldn't "cherry pick" the issues it wanted to listen to islanders on.
Members told the RCHT management to come back with detailed plans for the travel system and suggested that there should be a one-year trial of any new procedures to assess whether it works.
The meeting showed an apparent lack of understanding for islanders needs and it was clear the NHS had not taken on the opinions of residents, which they sought in several rounds of consultation.
There are questions over whether the RCHT is best-placed to serve Scilly and some observers may question whether their bosses' feared takeover by an upcountry Trust's management may provide a better solution for the patients here.
2 Responses to Hospital Trust Criticised Over Lack Of Communication
Between September and December 2011, I had to accompany my husband to Trelliske on a number of occasions. On one occasion he was discharged from hospital on a Sunday and we had to find accommodation for two nights as he was due back for tests 2 days later. On another occasion we had to phone the heliport to let them know we would be late, we made it with 5 minutes to spare before take off. On the last occasion we stayed overnight for an 8.30am appointment. We arrived at 8.00 to be told that we probably would not be able to go home that day as they were running over from the day before. As it was their fault I was handed an out of date brochure by the PALS office and told I could have 20.00 towards my nights stay.I then had to find somewhere, which as anyone knows is almost impossible at such short notice. My husband had to stay in hospital. On this occasion we had to pay for 2 cars. In total we have spent 500.00. As far as shopping is concerned we have not had time or indeed the money to go and 'enjoy'ourselves whilst on the mainland! As for charging 25.00 to change your ticket, this is disgraceful. It is bad enough having to go to the mainland when you are ill, but to be charged extra to change your ticket when you have to stay in hospital, through no fault of your own is terrible.
Having watched the Council webcast, I would like to congratulate Dudley Mumford, Amanda Martin, Sue Williams and Aisling Hick on their outspoken contributions at the recent Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting. The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust must issue a public apology to the people of the Isles of Scilly for one of its Transport Office staff accusing IOS patients of widespread abuse of the medical travel warrants system. My wife, Jane Hurd was present at the meeting last August when that accusation was made.
Patients have been accused of "working the system" by combining shopping trips with medical appointments. Quite frankly, there is no reason whatsoever why anyone should not do this because it does not involve the RCHT in any additional expense.
Would it satisfy the RCHT if every IOS patient swore a solemn oath that they would not call in any shop or enjoy themselves in any manner whatsoever when visiting the mainland for a medical appointment?

In her new memoir (and guide) "Eating Wildly: Foraging for Life, Love and the Perfect Meal," Chin explains how foraging has been a part of her life, and helped her to understand and appreciate the changes it brings you. We asked Chin, a CUNY professor who also writes about foraging for The New York Times and other publications, to share with us five wild plants that can be foraged right now in New York City and to lend her thoughts on how to prepare them. Chin will be doing a reading from "Eating Wildly" on Thursday, June 5 at Word Up! Community Bookstore in Washington Heights at 7 p.m. Other food writers will also be reading from their books. Wood sorrel Photo Credit: FLICKR/ ANITA "Wood sorrel resembles clover, but this delicate-looking plant with heart-shaped leaves packs a lemony-punch. It's high in oxalic acid, which is what makes it taste so citrusy, and is best placed fresh on fish or salads (wood sorrel disintegrates at the slightest touch of heat). It prefers the partial shade and is often found on the edges of clearings and under other edible weeds." Dandelions Photo Credit: FLICKR/ JOLLY_JANNER "The bane of many lawn-owners existence, most folks can recognize dandelions' "tooth-shaped" leaves and yellow blossoms. I've been eating them since I was a kid growing up in Flushing, Queens where they grew all across our playing fields. Bitter dandelion leaves mellow out nicely when sautéed in extra virgin olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar. The flowers can be rendered into jellies or sweet cordial wines." Lambsquarters Photo Credit: FLICKR/ SARAH GILBERT "I had my first Popeye moment with lambsquarters when a friend served it for me for lunch in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Spinachy-tasting lambsquarters outspinaches spinach in terms of pure green flavor. Lambsquarters grows throughout the five boroughs, from the Upper East Side to the Staten Island Greenbelt." Violets Photo Credit: AVA CHIN "Violets (Viola sororia), not to be confused with the houseplant African violets, have beautiful heart-shaped leaves and purple flowers. You can find them flourishing along lawns, parks and college campuses. The first time I got craftsy and sugared violets was a complete disaster! I didn't put enough egg wash and sugar on them, so they disintegrated within a few hours. My advice? Use lots of egg and sugar to coat the entire blossom." Candied violets recipe Amaranth Photo Credit: AVA CHIN "Humans have been eating amaranth since pre-Columbian times (Amaranthus retroflexus is native to the Americas). It's such a popular vegetable around the world that it's a staple of the Mediterranean diet, where cooks use it in pies, salads and side-dishes. In the Caribbean, they call it callaloo and cook it with fish. I've seen Amaranth aka pigweed flourishing in backyards, college campuses and tree pits across the city. It even grows outside of the Greek Consulate." By GEORGIA KRAL Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Comments We're revamping our Comments section. Learn more and share your input.

Sundance Resort
On the way to the Okanagan Highlands, stop in at Bean Scene's rustic-industrial headquarters in Kelowna for an Espresso Graf. Owner and gentle giant John Anderson roasts small batches of his signature beans in a vintage fire-engine-red Probat – it's the Bentley of five-kilogram coffee roasters – retrofitted with an award-winning eco waste removal system he helped develop. Meanwhile, his wife, Deb Synnot, splits her time between whipping up saucer-size cookies (perfect for the drive up to the hill) in the commercial kitchen and pulling shots in the front. Ask nicely and she just might give you a primer in creating latte art.1615 Dickson Ave., #100, 778-484-5445
Craving extra time in the tasting room? Skip the crowds and tour the Okanagan's wineries during the off-season. At Tantalus Vineyards, peruse the collection of Edward Burtynsky photographs while sipping their world-renowned, old-vine riesling. Opt for lunch overlooking Boucherie Mountain Bench at the family-owned Quail's Gate winery. The restaurant's ingredients are sourced from local farms and an on-site garden, and each dish is paired with an estate wine. For something a little out of the ordinary, visit Summerhill Pyramid Winery, which applies the principles of sacred geometry to its craft, aging all its biodynamic wines in a four-storey pyramid, complete with hanging crystals. (The sparkling Cipes Ariel is pretty magical.)Quail's Gate, 3303 Boucherie Rd., 250-769-4451 Summerhill Pyramid Winery, 4870 Chute Lake Rd., 800-667-3538 Tantalus Vineyards, 1670 DeHart Rd., 250-764-0078
Whether you're waiting for the kids to return from boarding lessons or letting lunch settle before hitting the slopes, duck into From Far and Wide Canada Goods Store, where owner and silversmith Leisa Davies sells her recycled silver jewellery under the label Little Jems. You'll also find a well-curated assortment of artisanal Canadian souvenirs and giftware that won't end up collecting dust. Standouts include MacAusland's lap-size woollen point blankets, Meyer lemon and lavender marmalade from Salt Spring Kitchen Company and faux moose-head wall mounts, made from upcycled sweaters and sustainable wood, by designer Josh Title.Bigfoot Lodge, Big White Mountain, 250-765-7666
Spend a day coasting on Big White Ski Resort's prized champagne powder. (East Coast skiers, bring your boots but leave your skis behind; you'll be glad you opted for a wider set of high-performance rentals.) Then head back to your craftsman-Canadiana suite at the slopeside Sundance Resort to thaw out in the deep soaker tub or by the fireplace. For a dip with an impressive above-the-cloud-line view, make a run for the outdoor hot tub and heated swimming pool, and relax your muscles while looking out onto the snow-capped Monashee Mountains across the valley.255 Feathertop Way, 250-765-9131
For the best in hillside fare, hop on the gondola or strap on your skis and head down to the Happy Valley Day Lodge, opposite Canada's highest altitude skating rink (1,585 metres above sea level). Inside the lodge, Kettle Valley Steakhouse's popular Long Table Harvest Dinner, which seats 20, features executive chef Bryce Broadhurst's weekly takes on haute farm-to-table Canadian cuisine. It's elegant, family-style dining: the maître d' expertly carves the roast tableside, and everything save dessert – decadent dulce de leche apple bombs, apple pie's 2.0 cousin – is plated to share. Bonus: Kettle Valley's wine list is unparalleled in its selection of Okanagan bottles, and the Harvest Table is developed with pairings in mind.5025 Big White, Big White Mountain, 250-491-0130
