Thallium Toxicity
Thallium is a toxic metal that causes serious fatigue. It is added to gasoline and released into the air by car exhaust. Thallium toxicity is prevalent in those who live in urban environments as a result.
Petroleum companies used to add lead to gasoline. Due to it's toxicity to the brain and nervous system, there was a huge public outcry that led to the removal of lead from gasoline. Today, thallium is added to gasoline to serve the same purpose – to prevent knocking in engines and make the engines last much longer. The only problem is that no one knows about thallium – not even many detox experts, let alone the unsuspecting population breathing it into their lungs every day.
You can identify the presence of this deadly metal in your body through hair mineral analysis or a Urine metals push test and detox it with a Myers Detox Protocol. I pinpointed thallium as the source of my own ill health and detoxed quite a bit of it.
When I first began calculating certain ratios used to determine thallium toxicity from my own hair mineral analysis, I discovered that I was thallium toxic. I was shocked. Even though I had been detoxing for years, I was still inexplicably tired and not quite where I wanted to be with my health. I became frustrated with my own progress because I knew something was blocking my path to better wellness.
It was only when I started investigating more metals on an HTMA and doing urine toxic metals push testing that I finally discovered exactly what that toxic source was: thallium. I was both shocked and concerned to find out that this poison was the culprit afflicting my overall well-being. And I realized it was affecting so many of my client's health as well – especially those suffering from chronic fatigue.
Thallium was also the poison of choice for the assassination of political dissidents in Russia, and was used to the same ends within the Saddam Hussein regime (9). In short, thallium is deadly.
How You Are Exposed to Thallium
Thallium is a potent mitochondrial poison. It poisons the enzymes that transport nutrients into your cell's mitochondria – the body's energy manufacturers. In this way, it renders your ATP energy manufacturers unable to product energy as effectively. The result is chronic, unrelenting fatigue.
This poison can be absorbed into the body though inhalation, ingestion, and/or contact with the skin, though oral ingestion can be the most dangerous form of exposure (2). Thallium can be found in such things as (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9):
- Anti-knock additive in some gasoline in areas where high-octane gas is in short supply
- Ant killers
- Car exhaust
- Cardiac scanning (thallium isotopes are used in this procedure)
- Cement plants
- Coal Ash
- Inhalation of contaminated dust from pyrite burners
- Kale and other cruciferous vegetables
- Lead smelting
- Manufacture of electronics: low temperature thermometers, optical lenses, and imitation precious jewels, semiconductors, scintillation counters, green-colored fireworks
- Oil drilling
- Production of photoelectric cells
- Rodenticides
- Smog (released from auto exhaust)
- Soil
- Water fluoridated with fluorosilicic acid
- Zinc smelting
Perhaps the most notable thing on the above list is kale. That's right, the tasty and trendy cruciferous vegetable can be hazardous to your health when eaten in overabundance. A 2006 study found that the cruciferous family of vegetables – kale, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli – to be hyper-acculumators of thallium. But more recently, Ernie Hubbard, a molecular biologist in Marin County, California, elaborated on this study by focusing on the "queen" of the vegetable world (and arguably the most popular among the crucifers) – kale. His studies revealed that kale contained potent levels of thallium, even in cases where the soil in which it was grown was low in thallium (6).
Most disturbing, however, was the discovery that organically grown kale showed higher levels of thallium than the conventionally grown ones! And not just of thallium, but also of several toxic metals, including mercury, cadmium, and lead (6)! The reason behind this is still unknown, but one current hypothesis is that organic kale is higher in sulfur, which is known to attract thallium.
These findings are certainly alarming, though this does not mean you must immediately put down that kale salad and back away slowly. There are a lot of foods that contain toxins because our environment is so polluted. It's more about awareness and avoiding the most contaminated foods. And doing a sensible daily detox. Like anything else, take your kale in moderation.
Symptoms of Thallium Toxicity
Thallium toxicity has multi-organ involvement and presents with vague symptoms that are often attributed to other causes. As a result, the symptoms are commonly dismissed by traditional health practitioners altogether and lead to a misdiagnosis of the patient's condition (8).
Some of the symptoms associated with thallium toxicity include (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9):
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Abnormal reflexes
- Abnormal vision
- Abdominal pain
- Acne
- Agitation
- Alopecia
- Blood in stool
- Bone marrow depression
- Brain fog
- Breakdown of red blood cells
- Burning sensations
- Coma
- Confusion
- Constipation
- Convulsions
- Chronic fatigue
- Degenerative changes of the heart, liver and kidney
- Dementia
- Depression
- Diarrhea
- Dry and crusty scaling of the skin
- Encephalopathy
- Excessive salivation
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Gluten sensitivity
- Hallucinations
- Hair loss (temporary and permanent)
- Headaches
- High blood pressure
- Inflammation of the mouth, lips, and gums
- Insomnia
- Leg pain
- Loss of appetite
- Loss of reflexes
- Malnutrition due to thallium interference in absorption of nutrients
- Muscle aches, weakness and tremors
- Nausea
- Nail changes (Mee's lines)
- Numbness in extremities like fingers and toes
- Polyneuritis
- Respiratory paralysis and failure
- Seizures
- Shortness of breath
- Skin hyperesthesia (mainly in the soles of the feet and the tibia)
- Subarchanoid hemorrhage
- Tachycardia
- Urine discoloration (green) shortly after exposure
- Vision disturbances
- Vomiting
- Damage to the nerves controlling the muscles of the head and neck (e.g., swallowing and eye movements)
As you can see, toxicity from this deadly metal spans a variety of symptoms. And while the severity of these symptoms is dose dependent, it's worth noting that in cases of acute toxicity from ingestion, symptoms tend to present themselves in three stages (2):
- Gastrointestinal phase
- Neurological phase
- Hair phase, most commonly alopecia
The symptoms of thallium toxicity are in direct correlation to a lack of the healthy minerals it replaces. Toxic elements, like thallium, replace nutrient minerals in enzyme binding sites. When this occurs, the metals inhibit, over-stimulate, and otherwise alter thousands of enzymes. An affected enzyme may operate at 5% of normal activity. This may contribute to many health conditions. Toxic metals may also simply deposit in many sites, causing local irritation and other effects.
Toxic metals may also replace other substances in other tissue structures. The replacement weakens these tissues, such as the arteries, joints, bones, and muscles. Thallium replaces potassium in vital enzyme binding sites. When there is a deficiency of potassium, the body is forced to use thallium in its place. This is why maintaining healthy, balanced minerals with Myers Detox Protocol is so important!
Health Conditions Caused by Thallium
Thallium toxicity is frequently overlooked by traditional medical practitioners and even most detox 'experts.' Thallium bioacculumates, meaning, it builds up in the body over time. When a test for thallium toxicity is conducted, the results often don't register at levels considered poisonous (6). But if it is not detoxed, it can cause serious health problems: (1, 7).
- Emotional disturbances
- Fetal mortality
- Hallucinations
- Impairment of thought and mood
- Impaired immunity / poor resistance to infection
- Intense headaches
- Poor concentration
- Memory failure
- Neurological damage
- Permanent alopecia
- Severe muscular atrophy
- Various involuntary movement disorders
- Death
Supplements that Detox Thallium
An antagonist is an element that can help to push or detox thallium out of the body.
- Potassium: The strongest antagonist to and single most effective agent against thallium is potassium. This is because thallium has a similar charge and ionic ratios to potassium and is distributed in the body much the same way (5, 8).
- Prussian Blue: Prussian blue binds to thallium, keeping it within the intestinal tract and preventing it from getting into the rest of the body (2, 7).
Detecting Thallium Toxicity
When investigating possible thallium toxicity, we first perform a hair mineral analysis and then review the results.
A few things to note when detecting thallium:
- Everyone who has lived in urban environments has some level of thallium in their body.
- Thallium does not detox into the hair directly on a hair mineral analysis, but we can see it indirectly in the mineral to thallium ratios with the interpretive ratios used on a Myers Detox Protocol program.
- Thallium can be detected on urine metals analysis push tests.
How to Detox Thallium
Thallium is usually deeply buried and requires time on a Myers Detox Protocol program to uncover and dislodge from storage sites in the body. Even then, complete reversal of all symptoms may not be possible, depending on the level of toxicity suffered. This is because thallium acts as a cumulative poison, storing itself deep in the body's tissues, as well as the fact the toxic tentacles of this poison spread into multiple systems of the body (7).
Another reason is can take so long to remove is because of how thallium becomes deeply lodged in the body's tissues. It must be detoxed slowly, rather than a quick release of all the tissues stores (7). If it were eliminated very quickly, a person would be in danger of greatly exacerbating their toxic symptoms with a hasty elimination.
There are things you can do NOW to help rid your body of this dangerous poison slowly and safely. I recommend taking Activated Silica and CitriCleanse. Together, these supplements will detox Thallium in about two years.
Activated Silica serves as a chelator of thallium, while CitriCleanse binds to thallium (and other metals and chemicals) and removes them from the body. When taking these products for two years, you can rid your body of most accumulated Thallium. Activated Silica also removes aluminum, tin, arsenic, cesium and antimony from the body. Pretty amazing!
Myers Detox Protocol Can Help!
Many of the adverse health conditions caused by thallium toxicity can be reversed through detox. But it must be done in the right way and consistently for at least two years. At the very least, many experience a vast reduction in their symptoms with detoxification of thallium via mineral supplementation and use of an infrared sauna, all of which are part of a comprehensive Myers Detox Protocol.
A Myers Detox Protocol is one of the best programs to remove all toxic metals from the body. Myers Detox Protocol utilizes over 20 different methods at once to remove thallium and ALL toxic metals safely and deeply, while replenishing the minerals your body needs. Metals can often do the same jobs as minerals. So when we are mineral deficient, the human body is forced to accumulate metals to accomplish certain processes necessary to for us to survive. Myers Detox Protocol replenishes your minerals, helps you to restore balance to your body, and gives it energy so that it can push thallium and other metals out when it no longer needs them to function.
Many nutrients are given on a Myers Detox Protocol to aid the body's removal of thallium.
Another excellent therapy used on a Myers Detox Protocol program to remove thallium from the body is the use of a near infrared sauna. Read more about this inexpensive and safe therapy. The use of the sauna is vital on a Myers Detox Protocol program because thallium, other heavy metals, and hundreds of chemicals can be removed through the skin.
Your body must have certain nutrients available to carry toxins and heavy metals like thallium out of the body. The most important for detoxing are vitamin C, glutathione, and R-lipoic acid. Without these nutrients, your detoxification efforts can result in toxins and heavy metals building up in your liver, intestines, and kidneys with no means of exit, causing illness. These supplements can be taken daily. Additionally, we need to supplement the major vitamins and minerals daily to assist in detoxification. See all the detox supplements you need in the Myers Detox Store.
Presently, humanity is exposed to the highest levels of toxic metals in recorded history, up to several thousand times higher than even several hundred years ago due to industrialization. The danger of toxic metals in our environment is greatly aggravated due to low mineral content of our food supply, as well as the contamination of our food supply. If one does not consume preferred minerals in the diet, the body will pick up whatever toxic metals it can from the food, air, and water as substitutes to perform various functions in the body. A key principle to remember is that an abundance of essential minerals in the diet and via supplementation protects the body against toxic metals.
It's time to restore balance to your body with Myers Detox Protocol!
A Myers Detox Protocol is not about diagnosing or treating any particular disease. It utilizes a hair mineral analysis to design a customized diet, supplement, lifestyle and detox program to detox heavy metals, improve the entire body's energy level, reduce stress, and improve the metabolic rate of the body. My program focuses on the wellness model of health care, which is a state of high resistance to all illness.

Navdy Rethinks the Head-Up Display
Imagine: You're driving to meet a client, following turn-by-turn directions on a small display that's superimposed on the windshield. An incoming call alert appears on the display's right side; it's your spouse. You lift your hand, give a thumbs-up to a small projecting device that sits atop your dash, and the call commences via Bluetooth. Sure, you'll pick up the dry cleaning tonight. You make a swiping gesture across the air above the steering wheel and the call ends.
And you're doing this in your 8-year-old Honda.
It's all thanks to Navdy, a San Francisco-based company whose $499 aftermarket head-up display combines the usual HUD assortment (vehicle speed, engine rpm, warning lights) with navigation directions, phone calls, texts and more. It streams off an iOS or Android smartphone via Bluetooth and Navdy's dedicated apps.
Navdy's HUD has the potential to become a sort of Google Glass for cars; it ships in early 2015, with discounted preorders starting today for $299. Google's techie eye-ware has invited some controversy behind the wheel, and Navdy's device could prompt similar complaints. But if it works as advertised, this HUD holds promise.
How It Works
The HUD projector is a little bigger than your hand. Prop it atop the instrument panel on a silicone-based, anti-slip material and deploy the projector and a flip-up screen toward the windshield. From there, it projects bite-sized pieces of information to a rectangular display that looks like it's about 6 feet ahead of the car. It can recognize a few simple gestures to do things like answer a call, hang up or read an incoming text. One of the gestures activates a Siri-like assistant, which takes voice requests through an embedded microphone to play music, compose tweets, you name it. You can even share your location with a friend.
Check out Navdy's video to see the HUD in action:
I chatted with CEO Doug Simpson, the passenger in the last 30 seconds of the video. The San Francisco-based company began about a year and a half ago, Simpson told me. The system draws power from a 12-volt outlet or the car's OBD-II port somewhere in the driver's side footwell– installed on all vehicles from 1996 on. With OBD-II input, the HUD can relay information like vehicle speed, engine rpm, warning lights and more.
Gesture recognition, meanwhile, works through an infrared camera. Image-processing logic allows it to differentiate between a gesture and, say, scratching your chin.
But simplicity is key.
"We've defined just three gestures: swiping left and right, and, as we show in the video, a thumbs-up," Simpson said. "Over time we may add additional gestures, but it's going to be a very small set."
Information Overload?
The HUD's scope is navigation, music and communication. It scrapes turn-by-turn directions off Google Maps and supports music apps like Pandora, Spotify, iTunes and Google Play. If your car has Bluetooth, anything from music to map directions can play through the car's speakers; Navdy's device acts as an intermediary that can take commands, for example, to change playlists. For cars without Bluetooth, you can connect the HUD to the speakers via an auxiliary jack. The device can also pull any major notifications that would appear on your phone, from new texts to social-media alerts, and toss them onto the display.
Therein lays some controversy. Should you really have texts and tweets at all while you're driving? Automakers have largely said yes; many new cars will read social media posts aloud through the multimedia system.
But displaying several lines of text, even at eye level, wades into sketchier territory. And that's what Navdy's HUD can do. Compose a tweet or text and the system displays it before you tell the system to send; the tweet composed on the company's video showed three lines of text and more than 50 characters. That runs afoul of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2013 distracted-driving guidelines, which recommends automakers display zero characters from social media or text messages while the car is moving.
Of course, Navdy is hardly the first company — automaker or aftermarket — to run afoul of those recommendations. And Simpson maintains that NHTSA's recommendation that no task take your eyes off the road for more than 2 seconds is a guiding principle.
"Are we going to allow an email to be displayed on the device? Definitely not," he said. "The text would be too small; the information would be too much to consume at one time."
"We're kind of empowering [users] to make that decision based on what they're comfortable with," Simpson added. "We can only put a maximum of six lines of text on the screen at the same time in order to make sure the text is large enough to be readable."
Proof is in the HUDding
Head-up displays are nothing new, having migrated from jet fighters to cars more than 20 years ago. They're proliferating among automakers today: Automotive News reports (subscription required) that 38 models offer head-up displays for 2014, or nearly three times the number of cars that had it in 2009.
Navdy isn't the first aftermarket company in the space, nor is it the first combination of multimedia features in one interface. Apple's Siri Eyes Free does a lot of this, minus the display. But the combination of gesture recognition, information and screen packaging is unique. And if it works as advertised — hardly a given, as anyone who's used voice recognition knows — then Navdy could have a winner.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
It seems to be a feature of contemporary parenting that we are endlessly curious about other parents. We see families with children of a similar age as ours at the park, at birthday parties, at school; we watch our old friends become parents -- and we wonder, how do they do it?
Some call this kind of curiosity "competitive parenting," the product of insecurity and isolation. Certainly, there is some truth to that. But this curiosity also betrays a hopefulness, a faith that some mother or father out there, not so different from us, knows what he or she is doing, in one realm or another. One parent might be able to tell you the best way to cope with an attack of the stomach flu. Another might be able to suggest a fantastic neighborhood music class. Another might be able to make you laugh, commiserating about potty training and other abject aspects of raising young children. And another might find the words to articulate what all of the mundane tasks that we daily perform amount to, what thoughts they inspire, what meanings they impart.
Listening to their stories, reading their blogs or memoirs, we hope to escape the narrow vantage point of our own minds, particularly when the repetitive sameness of parenting each day seeps into the mind to create a repetitive loop of thoughts about our kids, our daily tasks, ourselves. Picking up a book about someone else's family life can jolt us, momentarily and sometimes lastingly, out of that particular kind of unhelpful cycle.
When the author of such a book is Michael Chabon, the gifted, prolific Pullitzer-prize winning novelist and prose stylist, we're all the more curious. He's pretty famous, after all; his family life is already fairly well-examined, not to say notorious, thanks to his wife Ayelet Waldman's almost equally copious output of personal essays, most recently in the form of her book Bad Mother; and finally, he's a dad. We don't hear from fathers nearly as often as we do from the mothers who have created this whole genre of parenting memoir and blogging. And with a title like Manhood for Amateurs? Yes, we're interested. What does a father, a highly articulate and thoughtful father, really think about the whole enterprise of present-day parenting?
Ironically, very early on in this selection of essays, Chabon examines the double standard by which fathers who are doing even just a minimum of child care are labeled "good dads." "The handy thing about being a father," he writes, "is that the historic standard is so pitifully low." The same probably goes for "dad lit." Even so, and mindful that we may be more inclined to give credit here than is rightfully due, this book is an excellent read. It serves well that so necessary purpose of taking us out of our routine thinking and holding up this familial enterprise in which we are all engaged, twirling it around, bouncing it up and down, and giving us a new spin on what generally seems like an all-too-familiar scenario.
It helps that Chabon actually shares the minding of his four children more-or-less equally with his wife, one of the possibilities open to a self-employed author. He is engaged in the intimate and messy business on a daily basis, and calls himself lucky for it. Even more, it helps that he is willing to look critically at what being a father or a "family man" means -- among other things, the "luxury of choosing to find the intimacy inherent in this work that is thrust upon so many women." He admits, memorably, that an "essential element in the business of being a man" is to "behave as if you have everything firmly under control even when you have just sailed your boat over the falls." And that "a father is man who fails every day." For his exploration of these ideas alone, we say, read this book and then pass it on to the men in your life.
These essays are also replete with poignant, wry and offbeat insights about the state of contemporary childhood. Chabon's take on the lost "Wilderness of Childhood" echoes a lot of other warnings out there about over-parenting or the "nature deficit," with a passionate, personal angle. Childhood, Chabon writes, "is, or has been, or ought to be the great original adventure, a tale of privation, courage, constant vigilance, danger, and sometimes calamity." Does that sound much like anything we would allow our kids these days? Not so much. But Chabon argues, convincingly, that it should be, all the while honestly admitting that he is as fearful and unwilling as the next parent to let his kids roam free in the neighborhood. His worry about what this lack of freedom does to children's imagination is provocative: "Art is a form of exploration, or sailing off into the unknown alone, heading for those unmarked places on the map. If children are not permitted-not taught-to be adventurers and explorers as children, what will become of the world of adventures, or stories, or literature itself?"
On the other hand, Chabon also gives children, and their imaginations, more credit than that. Have you given a lot of thought to your child's Legos? Chabon has, and rails against developments in the "Legosphere" that have changed the purpose of the iconic toy. Whereas Legos once existed for the purpose of abstract, open-ended construction, they now come in pirate or zoo or airplane sets with a pre-ordained form and solution. But watching how his children actually do with all their Lego blocks and contraptions, Chabon realizes, "I should have had more faith in my children, and in the saving power of the lawless imagination." We all know that it's rare for children, especially the small ones, to play with toys according to the instructions provided. Chabon celebrates the mess in the toy bin, the chaos of the Lego drawer from which kids take the bits and pieces they need and put together a kind of creation and a kind play that "no one has ever seen or imagined before."
For this insight (no need to lose one's mind sorting out the toy pieces for the millionth time) and many more (too numerous and complex to summarize) on what it means to be a father as well as a husband, son, brother and friend, we are grateful for Michael Chabon's book. Sure, we may be cutting him too much slack just for being a dad who takes time to think about what fatherhood is all about. But Chabon doesn't cut himself any slack when it comes to living an intensely examined, passionately engaged family life -- nor when it comes to sweeping his readers up into that current through his vivid, candid prose. For the way he elucidates the stakes of what we do every day in our homes and with these kids of ours, we are willing forgive a lot, of him and ourselves too.

There have been several break-ins in lockers at this gym located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The Gym Alem Fitness center is owned by Olympic gold medalist **. Things ranging from laptops to expensive watches and most recently around $600.00 in cash were stolen from lockers. Several customers have also complained about duplicate keys and one key opening multiple lockers. Management has not taken any action to solve the problem. The owner and the management of the facilities, instead of trying to identify the thieves and ensuring that such incidents do not happen have repeatedly blamed the customers for leaving items in the lockers.
The owner of the gym has even stated to the customer who had the items stolen that he doesn't care about the $600. stolen from the customer rather he cares about the millions he has and might lose as a result of word getting out about the theft. The owner has also threatened to sue anyone who reports theft at the gym for defamation of character.

Celebrate Chinese New Year with All-New P.F. Chang's Menu!11:06 PM
I am so loving all the fun things going on around Chinese New Year. I have no personal background with the holiday, but it is so fun to learn about! One aspect that has really won me over is the food. P.F. Chang's has made it easy to learn about this holiday -- and enjoy celebrating with friends and family -- via their new holiday menu!
Monday February 8th kicks-off the year of the Monkey, and you won't believe the mouth-watering stuff they are serving up.
Menu items include items that represent the luck of the new year like:
- Sichuan Chili Garlic Chicken
- Hong Kong Style Sea Bass
- Long Life Noodles & Prawns
- Butternut Squash Dumplings
- Mandarin Cake
- Monkey Mule
Just check out photos of our visit to the local restaurant in Omaha, NE. The Long Life Noodles & Prawns were our favorite! You can see that the prawns are HUGE. Our table was cozy and candlelit. Everything was so flavorful and decorated for the holiday!
There's more! P.F. Chang's restaurants are hanging traditional Chinese red envelopes filled with free offers on trees near its restaurants. Five lucky winners across the country will open an envelope with free P.F. Chang's for a year!
One other exciting piece of news is that the company will donate $1 (up to $100,000) to Boys & Girls Clubs of America each time someone shares their Chinese New Year wish on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using #PFChangswish. They will also donate when a guest orders an item off the limited-time Chinese New Year menu.
Are you heading anywhere special for Chinese New Year? This Danish girl admits to not being the best Asian chef, so I was pleased to have a chance to try the new menu and enjoy what appears to be a fabulous holiday born of tradition and joy! Check out P.F. Chang's on Facebook to see what new things are happening at the location nearest you!
*I received a gift card to try the menu. Opinions are my own.

A complete overview of the Stage 1 meaningful use regulations is pending. You can also read a comprehensive discussion and analysis of Stage 1 here.17
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, part of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)1 directed the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology (HIT) as a national policy priority. Within ARRA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act established a legal framework for advancing HIT adoption and use.2 It also amended the Social Security Act to create financial incentives in the Medicare and Medicaid programs to encourage qualifying health care professionals and hospitals to become meaningful users of certified electronic health record (EHR) technology (CEHRT).3 Our complete summaries of the Social Security Act incorporate these amendments and can be found for Medicare here4 and for Medicaid here.5 You can also read an analysis of the major health provisions contained in ARRA here6 and view a side-by-side comparison of these provisions here.7
The HITECH Act authorizes the payment of financial incentives to eligible health care professionals who participate in Medicare and Medicaid and who are meaningful users of certified EHR technology.8 While Medicare incentives are limited to reimbursements for providers who can demonstrate meaningful use, Medicaid incentive payments are available to cover costs incurred by qualified providers and hospitals related to "adopting, implementing, or upgrading" (AIU) certified EHRs,9 in addition to bonus payments (for up to five years) for providers who "demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology."10 CMS decided to implement the meaningful use program in three stages: Stage 1 meaningful use criteria primarily address the capture of health information;11 Stage 2 meaningful use criteria are intended to expand upon the initial criteria to include more robust requirements for health information exchange;12 and Stage 3 meaningful use criteria, to be proposed by the end of 2013, would make the measure of meaningful use more robust by adding criteria that focus on quality, safety and efficiency improvements, decision support for national high priority conditions, patient access to self-management tools, and access to comprehensive patient data and improving population health.13
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates that up to $30 billion in EHR incentive payments are available under program, covering all three stages from 2011 through 2019.14 CMS reports that as of July 2012, more than $6 billion in Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments have been made to 132,511 physicians and hospitals that demonstrated meaningful use of EHRs in Stage 1 of the program.15
A more comprehensive overview of the HITECH Act is located here.16 The following pages contain detailed information about each stage of the program:
Meaningful Use Stage 1
Meaningful Use Stage 2
On August 23, 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule on the Stage 2 Meaningful Use criteria that eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) must meet to qualify as meaningful users of electronic health records (EHRs) and receive incentive payments under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This final rule builds upon the Stage 2 proposed rule, released on March 7, 2012.
A complete overview of the Stage 2 meaningful use regulations is pending. You can also read a comprehensive discussion and analysis of Stage 2 here.18
Meaningful Use Stage 3
HIT Policy Committee Request for Comment
On November 27, the Health IT Policy Committee (HITPC) of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) released a preliminary set of recommendations for Stage 3 meaningful use of electronic health record technology (EHRT) to the public as a Request for Comment (RFC), which can be viewed in full here:www.healthit.gov/sites/default/files/hitpc_stage3_rfc_final.pdf.1 The HITPC will analyze all comments and revisit its recommendations during public meetings held in the first quarter of 2013. The committee is expected to submit its final recommendations to the ONC in mid-2013.

CHENANGO COUNTY Four years after an ignition interlock program was required by the New York State legislature to crack down on drunk driving, recent changes to the law are strengthening punishments for offenders.
In accordance with statewide changes to the ignition interlock device (IID) program that were signed into law in 2013, the Chenango County Board of Supervisors approved changes to the countys IID plan during its July monthly meeting.
An ignition interlock device connects to a motor vehicle ignition system and measures the alcohol content in the breath of the operator. The device prevents the vehicle from being started until the motorist provides an acceptable breath sample.

Hi everyone. It is Holly posting today. Chrissy is away on a road trip, so I'm jumping in to share this watercolored flower card with you. I pulled out this stamp from the Flowers and Whimsy sheet from Art Neko because I wanted to try watercoloring it. I stamped it with Versamark onto some Fabriano Studio Hot Press watercolor paper and then covered it with clear embossing powder. After shaking off the excess powder, I melted the powder with a heat tool.
Zig Clean Color markers are water based, and they have some very fine brushes on the coloring ends of the markers. I pulled out three colors – a pale blue, a deep green, and a deep red. I outlined the flowers and leaves with the pale blue color first, and then I went back over the blue with a wet paintbrush to pull the color out. After I waited a little bit for the paper to dry, I colored in the edges of the leaves with the deep green color. I did not fill in the entire leaf – just the edge. Then I used my wet brush to drag some of the green color over each leaf.
Once again, I waited until the paper was dry before starting in on the pink flowers. I used a deep red color on just one edge of each petal, and then I used the wet brush to pull the color out onto the rest of the petal. That deep red color turned into a vibrant pink during this process. That was a fun discovery!
After my piece was completely dry, I cut the paper down to a smaller size (3″ x 4″) and matted it with a dark green cardstock. I stamped this sentiment with green ink onto a scrap piece of the same watercolor paper and cut it out with a circle die. The sentiment can be found on the Friendship, Get Well, and Thank You's sheet from Art Neko.
I found a small length of this pink ribbon which coordinated beautifully with my flowers, so I tied it around the bottom of the floral piece. This piece is attached to a sandy gray card base with some foam tape. I added some more foam tape to the sentiment and adhered that next to the flowers.
I hope this card inspires you to experiment with coloring. It is fun to see what happens when you try new things!

Nursery design tips: Yeah, we've got those covered. Because if you know us even a little bit, you know that nurseries are one of our favorite design challenges. Sorry living rooms! From balancing fun and function to living up to a parent-to-be's design vision, every nursery design project is unique.
Tip 1: Design For Light Control
If your newest family member complains about the nursery's design in their first few months, please give us a call—we'd love to meet them! But chances are, your kiddo will be oblivious to your decor choices. They will, however, notice those pesky rays of light disturbing their naps. Ann's nursery uses whimsical interior window shutters to control light. But curtains with a blackout liner could work just as well.
Step 2: Design Outside The Box
You're going to spend a heckuva lot of time in this room. Don't feel like you have to play it safe in every aspect of your nursery design. Those long hours in the glider or rocker will be that much easier when you've got something pretty to look at.
We love how Ann added visual interest and texture to the space with a bold tree-patterned wallpaper and tree stump table lamp. While these hints of nature might not necessarily be your thing, a wallpaper accent wall or unique decor choice could be just the thing you need to bring a sense of excitement to your space.
Tip 3: Everything Is Storage!
You can never design too much storage into any space, especially a nursery! Can you spot three of the clever storage elements designed into this gorgeous nursery?

So apparently we're event organisers now! Our third edition of #TheBloggersMarket took place last Saturday after two weeks of intense Facebook messaging (there were Kanye-style streams of consciousness), brainstorming and clothes-sorting. Yes, it was a little bit like an Apprentice episode. Mishaps aside, sometimes it's nice to get out of our individual bubbles and meet people IRL. When it comes to blogging, it's all too easy to get bogged down by the comparison curse and what you don't have, that you can forget about all the positives. #TheBloggersMarket is all about bringing the grid to life! I found it so comforting to chat to people who follow IWYTK and sit through the most random Snapchat stories (yes, even the lip-synching to Billy Joel). I'm won't get too soppy (though meeting some 12-year-old readers with on point photography skills would probably set me off), but we just want to say thank you to anyone who came along, shopped, snapped or just had a little chat with Olivia, Carrie, Lucy, Dunya and I. We can't wait to do it again!
The Hoxton, Holborn was the perfect central location for our third event, just look at it! It's a shame that The Apartment isn't the real deal and I can't switch up my zone three digs. Still, it's such a cool space where you can create your own little world of sorts. In the food zone we had breakfast pots by Cuckoo, baskets of Propercorn, plenty of Vita Coco and the most delightful cakes by Afternoon Crumbs that fitted into our botanical theme. Nicole even kindly boxed us up a set as she knew we wouldn't have time to grab any, I'm going to try and hold onto the biscuits for as long as possible!
As always, we'd love any feedback on how to make our events even bigger and better (we also have a mailing list you can sign up to)! It's so important to reinforce the blogging community, because it's that same community that has helped me become the person I am today. I never thought that after meeting Lucy & Carrie in 2009 at Tampax (yes Tampax) and Specsavers events respectively, Olivia at the Cosmopolitan blog awards and Dunya in Brighton a few years later, that we'd become firm friends who can talk about so many things beyond blogging. We're still not totally sure how we're going to do it, but deep down we want to create the kind of event where you can hopefully build a network, find collaborators and also friends for life in a completely organic way. Watch this space!

From director Connie Field (director of some of the most exciting, politically potent documentaries of our time – The Life And Times Of Rosie The Riveter and Freedom On My Mind) comes a film we first told you about in early 2010, when it was set to screen at the Film Forum here in NYC – Have You Heard From Johannesburg.
The epic 7-part 8+ hour film – made over a period of more than 10 years, filming throughout the world – is considered nothing less than the definitive cinematic history of the worldwide effort to destroy South African apartheid, standing as the final word on how a violent, racist, intractable government was destroyed by the concerted efforts of men and women working on multiple fronts, both inside and outside South Africa, for more than 30 years.
The end product is anything but academic; It's a lively, tension-filled, heart-rending and ultimately thrilling journey of a film, and those in the UK will get an opportunity to see it (although not in its original form and length) when BBC4 begins broadcasting it, next week Tuesday, January 24th, at 10PM, with the second half shown the following night, on Wednesday the 25th.
I say that it's not in its original length because BBC4 trimmed it down to about 5 hours; so you'll be watching a gutted version.
The award-winning film is available on DVD, but ONLY for purchase via the distribution company's website; and it's not cheap; definitely not average DVD prices unfortunately. $175! ($180 for those outside the USA). BUT, you'll get the full 7-disc set with lots of extras.
Those in the USA can also watch an even more gutted 2-part version of the film on PBS' website HERE.
The original 7-part 8 1/2-hour film was broken down as follows:
– ROAD TO RESISTANCE 65 minutes. As the U.N. adopts the Declaration of Human Rights, South Africa heads in the opposite direction and implements apartheid. A mass movement is born, then crushed, and Nelson Mandela is jailed for life.
– HELL OF A JOB 58 minutes The future of the movement is on the shoulders of Oliver Tambo, who escapes into exile and begins a 30-year journey to engage the world in the struggle to bring democracy to South Africa.
– THE NEW GENERATION 58 minutes Youth in South Africa and around the world are next to join the growing movement against apartheid, and the brutal suppression of a youth uprising in Soweto galvanizes public support for sanctions against South Africa.
– FAIR PLAY 96 minutes Athletes and activists around the world hit white South Africa where it hurts: on the playing field. The sports boycott pushes apartheid South Africa out of international sporting competitions, isolating it in an area of passionate importance.
– FROM SELMA TO SOWETO 89 minutes African Americans alter U.S. foreign policy for the first time in history, successfully pressuring the U.S. to impose sanctions and politically isolate Pretoria.
– THE BOTTOM LINE 86 minutes International grassroots campaigns against Polaroid, Shell, Barclay's, General Motors and others doing business in South Africa economically isolate the apartheid regime and become the first successful effort to use economic pressure to help bring down a government.
– FREE AT LAST 78 minutes An uprising in South Africa becomes the final blow in the cumulative world effort to topple apartheid. Nelson Mandela becomes a household name as the campaign to free him ignites a worldwide crusade.

Warwick Rotarians donate $1,000 to aid in hurricane disaster relief
Local service organization also working with Operation Endeavor and teams of disaster relief specialists
WARWICK — Warwick Rotarians have donated $1,000 to provide disaster relief for persons affected by Hurricane Harvey and its members have privately donated additional funds to Operation Endeavor.
"During these disasters, we often wonder how to help and which avenue of support will provide the most effective help," said Warwick Rotary President David Eaton.
He and his 65-member Warwick Valley Rotary Club decided to join with the Liberty Rotary Club is supporting relief efforts of Operation Endeavor, a 501C3 formed to provide training in rescue, emergency medicine and trauma, while supporting public health and safety, EMS system development and disaster preparedness.
The founder and many of the board members of Operation Endeavor are Liberty Rotarians and the teams are medical and disaster relief professionals.
They have the experience and skills needed to assess the personal and medical needs of a community in a disaster and then execute a plan to help.
Learn more about Operation Endeavor at www.911fortheworld.org.<http://www.911fortheworld.org
An Operation Endeavor team flew to Texas to assess the needs and provide help on the ground.
Because the team is Rotary-oriented, part of the intent is to locate a club in or near a community where they can be the most help and to work with that club to be as effective as possible.
The Operation Endeavor team is trained to assess what supplies are needed and to deliver those supplies to the areas where they are needed most.
Among those assisting in the fund-raising effort are Eaton and Judy Siegel, president of Liberty Rotary Club.
"People helping people is what our community is all about. No donation is too small," Eaton said, adding "tax free donations can be made by writing a check to: Warwick Valley Rotary Foundation and put 'Operation Endeavor' on the memo line."

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 06, 2013
Even while on vacation, Chef Jodi could not resist learning the cooking techniques and distinct cuisines of both Barcelona and Paris. The result? Combining work and play, Chef Jodi enrolled in two hands-on cooking classes and acquired many new, exquisite recipes to share with her customers at Lajollacooks4u!
While in Paris, Chef Jodi didn't just shop in the très chic fashion districts, but also explored the French grocery market scene. With Chef Paule Calliat, from the culinary school Promenades Gourmandes, Chef Jodi was guided on a wonderful market tour for the freshest meats and produce, before heading to Calliat's fabulous state-of-the-art kitchen for the first of the two cooking classes. Having conducted cooking classes and market tours for over seventeen years in Paris, Calliat impressed Chef Jodi with her expertise in French cuisine. As part of the cooking class, Calliat included a wine and cheese-pairing course, where Chef Jodi discovered the most delicious French cheeses.

The second destination, Barcelona, Spain, included a three-hour "Foodie Tour" with Chef Dominique Heathcote. Heathcote, a Cordon Bleu-trained chef, while knowledgeable in many different cultures and their dishes, expressed a deep passion for the Catalonian cuisine. Chef Jodi was able to create an incredible gourmet meal, incorporating the true heart and soul of Cataluña, with many types of local seafood, all featuring that true Mediterranean flavors. Some of Chef Jodi's favorite recipes from her Barcelona trip include appetizers of Figs in Wine with Ricotta cheese and Peppers stuffed with Cod, and a wonderful entrée of Fideuà, a pasta dish with Calamari and Chicken.
Chef Jodi is glad to be back and is excited to share these recipes with Lajollacooks4u. "I look forward to recreating with our guests the delicious recipes I have gained through my travels abroad," Chef Jodi said.

Passing on Passwords
A recent article in the NJ Law Journal (May 14, 2012, p. 3) piqued the Monitor's interest as a harbinger of things to come. According to the article, as Morris County prosecutors were preparing to try a criminal defendant facing narcotics charges, they realized that law enforcement officers had seized several cell phones and a Blackberry at the time of the arrest. Interested in learning what information might be contained on these phones, prosecutors applied for and were granted a search warrant authorizing them to inspect the information contained in the phones. However, prosecutors and their investigatory staff apparently ran into trouble when they could not crack a password-protected Blackberry to review the information on it. Therefore, they sought an order compelling the defendant to provide them with the appropriate passcodes to enable them to access the information stored in the Blackberry.Read More

Friday: AM Española Island: Punta Suarez / PM Española Island: Gardner Bay, Gardner Islet, Osborn Islet
Saturday: AM Santa Cruz: Twin Craters / Baltra Island: Baltra airport
Baltra Airport
After arriving at Baltra airport we will be greeted by an Angermeyer Cruises representative to then board the Mary Anne and have lunch.
Black Turtle Cove (Santa Cruz Island)
After lunch, we will navigate a short distance to Black Turtle Cove, a large mangrove lagoon on the north coast of Santa Cruz Island. Pelicans and herons roost on the branches, while marine dwellers such as green sea turtles or golden rays may cruise right next to the panga as it makes its way through the mangroves.
Darwin Bay (Genovesa Island)
We travel to Genovesa Island and reach Darwin Bay (wet landing), a unique site lined with red mangroves and soft‐haired prickly pear cacti where red‐footed boobies and great frigatebirds perch tamely.
El Barranco (Genovesa Island)
At El Barranco (dry landing), we climb the edge of a cliff where frigatebirds, masked boobies, and red‐footed boobies nest. We will be seeking out the impressive red‐billed tropicbird amidst Galapagos storm petrels.
Bartolomé Island
Dry landing at Bartholomew to climb up the wooden steps and reach the summit of this spatter cone for a most breath‐taking panorama of the island's well photographed Pinnacle Rock and views of neighbouring Santiago and many other central islands in the distance.
Chinese Hat Islet
Less than a quarter of one square kilometer in size, this island gets its name from being shaped like a Chinese hat. The hat shape is best appreciated from the north side. Lava formations can be seen on the western side of the island, formed under the sea and raised upward and for this reason it is possible to observe coral heads on the lava. Be amazed by the landscapes covered by sea lions colonies, marine iguanas and Galapagos penguins.
Rabida Island
Wet landing onto Rabida's deep‐red beaches to explore the red island's fascinating interior and saltwater lagoon. Darwin's finches, Galapagos mockingbirds and yellow warblers feed off the vegetation. Given the right time of the year we may see brown pelicans nesting on salt bushes that fringe the beach.
Cerro Dragón (Santa Cruz Island)
We head across to Cerro Dragón on Santa Cruz's northwest shore (dry landing) to visit a saltwater lagoon, home to Greater Flamingos, black‐necked stilts and white‐cheeked pintails. Further inland we find a fantastic land iguana nesting site.
Highlands (Santa Cruz Island)
We will spend this day visiting Santa Cruz Island´s most famous highlights. We will have a dry landing at the dock of Puerto Ayora to then board our transportation and head to the island's highlands. This area, in contrast to the coastal region, has lush vegetation and forest due to the humidity in the higher regions. We will visit one of the ranches of the area where it is possible to see giant tortoises in their natural habitat. As these animals migrate from the coastal area to the highlands and back, the chosen ranch will depend on the presence of the tortoises since they roam free and change locations. This is also a good place to see the Galapagos hawk and barn owl of this island and the surrounding forests are filled of birds such as the vermilion flycatcher or the yellow warbler.
Fausto Llerena Tortoise Breeding Center (Santa Cruz Island)
We will enjoy lunch at the ranch to then head back to Puerto Ayora for our second visit of the day, the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center. Here, we will see tortoises from different islands. The animals are found in large semi‐natural pens for their protection, but also to ensure an easy view for the visitors. The pens are divided according to four different stages: eggs, neonates, juveniles (held here until they are mature
enough to be "repatriated"), and adults.
Plaza Sur Island
Dry landing on one of the oldest docks of the archipelago, colorful Plaza Sur is home to vibrant green prickly pears, deep red Sesuvium and coppery‐orange land iguanas. Impressive seaward cliffs are excellent for a variety of coastal birds. This is also a great place to observe the adult and pup sea lions swimming along the shores.
Santa Fe Island
After a wet landing on Santa Fe onto a white beach where sea lions are usually resting, we will be looking for the endemic species of land iguana, larger and yellower than land iguanas on other islands. The largest prickly pear cacti in the Galapagos are also found here.
Punta Suarez (Española Island)
In the morning we will head to Punta Suarez The trail is about 4 km (2 miles) long and the walk takes about 2 hours. A geyser near the trail sprays water some 25m (75 feet) into the air. This is one of the most popular landing sites in Galapagos. The highlights include: sea lions near the landing place, sometimes to be seen body‐surfing in the large breakers; large marine iguanas, with red‐coloured males in the breeding season; oystercatchers; blue‐footed and Nazca boobies; Galapagos hawk; Galapagos dove; swallow‐tailed gull; red billed tropicbirds in flight; and three species endemic to Española–waved albatross (present only from April to December), Española mockingbird, and Española lava lizard.
Gardner Bay, Gardner Islet, Osborn Islet (Española Island)
We will spend the day in fantastic Española, starting with Gardner Bay (wet landing), an outstanding beach with sea lions, marine iguanas, and the intrepid Española mockingbird. Close to Española there is a good spot for snorkeling called Gardner Islet. While snorkeling, there is a good chance playful sea lions will join you. Get ready for more snorkeling at Osborn islet, a great place to observe great quantities of marine life.
Twin Craters (Santa Cruz Island) / Baltra airport
This is our last day in the islands. After breakfast we will disembark in Puerto Ayora to take our transport to the Baltra airport, making a short stop to visit the Twin Craters. The Gemelos (twins) are two deep craters located to the side of the road that leads to Puerto Ayora from the other side of the island. These huge holes were probably created in a volcanic explosion or by magma chambers underneath the island´s surface. This is also a good place to see the Galapagos hawk and barn owl of this island and the surrounding forests are filled of birds such as the vermilion flycatcher or the yellow warbler. Something worth mentioning is the contrast of the vegetation of the highlands with the arid coastal zones. After this visit we will make our way to the Baltra airport for the flight to mainland Ecuador.

Hackberry Springs Trail is a 8.2 mile out and back trail located near Caliente, Nevada. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
To find the access road to Hackberry Springs Road, go to mm 100 on I-15, 22 miles south of Mesquite, Nevada. Take the frontage road north. There is a BLM sign at the HB road left turn, but the sign is down. Go left to the trail head. The BLM informational sign says to follow the wash to the springs. Look for the petroglyphs on the left wall of the first narrow canyon. Follow the wash UNTIL IT GOES UP THE RIGHT CANYON. DON'T GO UP THE RIGHT CANYON! We did and lost 1 hour. Stay left and pick up the road that is due north right off the wash. We followed the road to the end after we returned from the detour, but never found the cement tanks. They were 30 feet up and to the right after we came to the end of the road. I don't know if they have water in them because we never found them. What we did see were the petroglyphs and three Bighorn Sheep: two rams and a doe. The hiking is difficult due to the "wash walking". This was not the prettiest hike, and not finding the cement tanks were frustrating.

He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Readers of his poetry may identify his writing by his warm, narrative style that often centers on the usual happenings of daily life. Dennis has taught at the University of New York at Buffalo since 1966, where, in 2002, he became an artist-in-residence.
What People are Saying
"Though I have always had an immense love and appreciation for poetry, particularly spoken word poetry, it was not until I was given the opportunity to go on stage and actually deliver the words of others that I was able to comprehend the real impact of this art."

.Pillowcase Dress Tutorial.
This is a very easy Pillowcase Dress Tutorial. If you can sew a straight line you can sew this Pillowcase Dress. No ARMHOLES to cut out!!
Supplies Needed:
1yd of fabric
Sewing Machine
2 - 3 yds Ribbon 1.5"
Safety Pin
**Before I started I sewed 6" of pink fabric to my brown fabric. You can just use a solid peice of fabric or add a trim like mine if you would like. I'm writing this tutorial like the brown and pink fabric is one solid peice of fabric.
Getting Started:
Decide want size you are making. I want a 6x dress. I need it to be 24" long.
Here are some Pillowcase Dress Sizes you can use:
6-9 Months: 14" Long
12 Months: 15.5" Long
18 Months: 17.5" Long
2T: 19.5" Long
3T: 21" Long
4T: 22" Long
5/6: 24" Long
7/8: 26" Long
I personally like all of Madison's PCD to be 21" long. She wears a 6/7 and it is a long shirt instead of a dress. It goes right above her knees and looks adorable with a pair of jeans or leggings.
Cutting Your Fabric:
Cut your fabric at 21". This is the width of the dress. It is about 3x's the chest measurements.
You need to cut 2 panels of fabric. One for the front of the dress and one for the back of the dress.
If you are making a PCD under 12Months old cut it at 20". If it is over a size 8 cut it at 22".
Decide what lenght you need
I need a dress 24" long. Add 3 inches to the length you need. Cut your fabric. I will cut my fabric at 27" long. I added 3 inches, because I'm adding 2 inches to the top and 1" to the bottom of the dress.
Now you have two panels of fabric both measuring 21" width x 27" (or whatever your length + 3 is) Length.
Lets Start Sewing!
Sewing the Sides
Start with the sides of your dress, fold the fabric 1/2" and sew. I fold my fabric once and use a zigzag sticth. You could double fold your fabric and use a straight stitch if you prefer.
Sew both sides of the dress and do the same thing with your other panel of fabric. (4 total)
Sew the Bottom
I fold the bottom part of the dress 1" and sew a zig zag stitch. Do the same with your other panel of fabric.
Right now you should have 2 panels of fabric with 3 sides sewn. The top of the dress is still unsewn at this point.
Sew the Top of your dress
Fold your fabric down 2" and sew a zig zag stitch.
TIP: You want to always make sure to sew this part (top of the PCDress) after you sew the sides of the dress. If you do it first you will mess up the armholes and the hole to add your ribbon.
Sewing your 2 fabric panels together
Have both outsides of your fabric panels facing eachother and line them up. It should look like it's inside out.
Start from the bottom of the dress and sew a straight stitch 1/4" from the side. Do NOT sew all the way up! You will sew closed the armholes.
Stop 6" from the top of your PCDress. This is your ARMHOLE!
Repeat and do the samething with the other side. Make sure to stop 6" from the top of the dress!!
On the inside of your dress open up the flap. Sew back up the side of your dress using a zig zag stitch. Repeat with other side. make sure to stop at the 6" mark again. You are just resewing over the straight stitch we just did.
Turn your Pillowcase Dress right side out. It should look like a Pillowcase :)
Add the Ribbon
Grab your 1.5" wide ribbon and cut at 36" - 46". I cut my ribbon at 36". You will need 2 peices of ribbon. One for the front of the dress and one for the back of the dress.
Use a safety pin in the middle of your ribbon. Feed it through the hole in the top of your dress...
Feed the safety pin all the way and even the ribbon out on both sides. Do the same thing to the other side of your Pillowcase Dress.
Sewing your Ribbon in Place
Fold the top of your PCD in half to find the center of your ribbon. Sew using a zig zag stitch to secure. Repeat with the other side of your dress.
Heat Sealing Your Ribbon
Fold each end of your ribbon in half. Hold securely and cut to a point. Keep holding your ribbon in half and heat seal the ends with a lighter or wood burner.
Voila! You are finished and didn't have to worry about any armholes :)
If you have any questions email me!
