Shining the Spotlight on Patient Safety
This week, health care organizations and patient groups across the country are engaging in activities for Patient Safety Awareness Week, under the banner of United for Patient Safety. This is the week where we recognize all the progress hospitals and health systems have made to keep patients, but we also know there is more work to be done.
A major way hospitals and health systems continue on the improvement path is through the second-generation of the Hospital Engagement Network, or HEN 2.0. Through the AHA's Health Research & Educational Trust (HRET), more than 1,500 hospitals and 34 state and local hospital association are exchanging best practices and working collectively to improve quality and patient safety.
One tool available through the HEN 2.0 project are change packages and checklists, which provide hospitals with "tests of change" and evidence-based best practices on the patient safety topics addressed through the HEN 2.0 program. They are designed as a guide for hospitals to get ideas and quickly implement change around the areas that need to be addressed in their patient safety efforts and to make those efforts sustainable.
The change packages have been updated to include the most recent literature for the topic around best practices, streamlined driver diagrams and illustrations and include the top 10 check lists, which are a list of high priority interventions for hospitals to implement to improve performance in each of the focus areas.
Updated 2016 change packages and checklists currently available include those for Pressure Ulcers; Sepsis; Falls; Readmissions; Clostridium difficile Infection, or CDI; Airway Safety; and Central-Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI). Additional topic updates will be released soon and are available for download by all hospitals and health systems at the HEN 2.0 website.
For inspiration from hospitals and health systems who have already made great strides, check out our Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence case study library featuring more than 100 examples of quality and patient safety efforts and the impact they have had.

text: A business activity generates both negative and positive externality simultaneously for both the environment and the society. The basic idea is to minimize the negative externality and generate more positive externality.Expectations of the society towards businesses have grown tremendously during the past few decades, the stress is upon a socially, environmentally and legally responsible businesses. Organizations have responded to this expectation by indulging in a set of activities which are termed as Corporate Social Responsibility, but that has not been enough, businesses cannot resolve social and environmental problems of the society unless they know where to focus and what is the strategy to become better businesses and yet not be criticized. The need is to utilize a firm's resources in the most effective manner. Thus, strategic CSR comes in as a solution for better performance.Strategic CSR began the evolution of more responsible and favorable businesses in terms of societal pressures and expectations. In our research, we have tried to develop a framework which when incorporated with the CSR concept helps make more strategic sense to the firm, so that it benefits not only the society but also the firm itself. The research builds a strategic framework and analyses in light of it the CSR activities of three major retail companies namely, IKEA, Starbucks and H&M.The EFQM model which is a self assessment tool for organizations has been incorporated with CSR to make it a strategic assessment framework. This has been a new concept, and has proven quite effective in assessing the strategies and outcomes regarding CSR of the three companies being used as examples.

If you've encountered a difficult situation with your new car, there are some things you might want to know about the technical side of the problem. Usually, Cadillac computers are very easy to reset, and you do not need a specialist in order to do it. Learning a little about the specifications and features of this car will eventually help you out to solve the issue by yourself. If you'd like to know more about Cadillacs, especially the CTS, you should know that Edmunds talks about the Cadillac CTS on the website. Now, moving on to the actual steps to resetting a Cadillac computer, see the list below:
The fuse panel
You firstly need to locate the fuse panel. This is usually placed under the steering column and you will have to pull down on it using your fingers. After you've finally located the fuse panel, you can reach for the ECU-labelled one, which stands for electronic control unit and represents the actual computer of your Cadillac. When you completed this step, you can go further with resetting it.
What you should know about the ECU
The electronic control unit of a car represents the embedded system that is responsible for most electrical functions of a car. Knowing how to handle the ECU will be tremendously useful for this task. All you have to do once you get to the ECU is pulling it using the present fuse pullers and then turning the ignition key on. Basically, once you've reached this step you are very close to resetting the Cadillac computer from scratch. What is left to do is waiting a while and switching the ECU fuse. Once you've done that, the Cadillac computer is going to reset all by itself. It's not complicated at all and there are not much things you have to learn in order to complete this deed. Plus, it won't be convenient to pay a generous amount of money to have your car's computer checked by a specialist, considering that Cadillac expenses are quite high.
Don't forget to wait a while before switching the ECU fuse. This is the trick for having your car computer to reset in time. Without this step, the car computer won't reset, and you will have to start all over again with the steps. Patience is surely the key, besides reading a lot about this topic beforehand.

July 2012
Having a Florida State Park Passport I noticed in the pages Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park and wanted to go check it out. I was going to be spending about a week in Homosassa and this was just one of many places visited on the trip. There is much to see and do in the Crystal River area of Florida. This stop won't take up more than 30 minutes of your time!
Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins was the site of a 5,100-acre sugar plantation, which operated from 1849 to 1862. Operated by over 1,000 slaves, the mill was abandoned during the Civil War and the plantation house burned. The most imposing feature of the plantation, the sugar mill, was located near the Homosassa River. Still standing today are the steam boiler, crushing machinery, and cooking kettles used to process the sugar cane, as well as the stonework chimney, well and foundation.A pathway leads visitors around the ruins to interpretive signs that explain how the system worked. Across the street from the ruins, the park's picnic area features tables, grills, and a pavilion. This is the oldest historic structure remaining in the county. The park is quite small and you must cross the road to get from the parking area to the ruins. In the summer prepare for bugs and in the winter a lot of traffic.
Right next door to the park is the Olde Mill House Gallery and Printing Museum & CafeIf you have any experience or interest in history or Letterpress Printing, this is definitely a place you should visit while in the area.
This shop has everything from Hand-set lead Foundry Type to a working Linotype and so much more. The museum is a "hands on" operation to! If you have a group and call ahead to make a reservation everyone gets to try their hand at printing! Please do not forget to drop a donation in the box by the window before you leave. But I must not forget to mention that the café has the best Cuban Sandwiches in the area and has won many awards for them! In the cool winter months this place is jamming – their weekly Blues and BBQ events in the garden will have everyone smiling!
Check them out while visiting Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins State Park, it makes for a fun, educational and filling afternoon!

Looks like a tough job huh.
Great clear image with nice sunset and therefore beautiful colors.
Very good picture
Because of the nice outside view
I love the 777 flight deck and this photo shows it at its best, in Low light conditions when all the displays are shining bright. great photo in difficult conditions.
The best job in the world !! And one of the most beautiful plane.. !
A+ Effort!
Superb shot!
It most be cool very to sit there! Difficult to know all those instruments?
Nice picture "adipoli".what a cockpit its for 777
Excellent view of the spacious 777 cockpit
A pilot myself, captured the cockpit relaxed vigilance perfectly. P2 PF
Very nice shot!
This really defines why we become airline pilots. Peace and tranquility marries with technology and engineering. Simply surreal.
Nice beautiful shots of this 777 cockpit...i`ll say we have the best office in the whole wide world
This is a great shot. This reminds me of a boyhood dream of flying a commercial jet. But I became an engineer in stead. Just flying makes me feel accomplished!
A very good shot and a gr8t weather outside
Looks to be a bit of weather ahead ... it gives a feeling of trhe prestige and responsibility being in command of such a beautiful machine with several hundred souls aboard.
I love the cockpit view.. I always play 'Flight Simulator' and I love to be in cockpit. Very nice!!
IMHO Bailey is one of the most distinguished aviation photographers ever, I hope more pilots had his knack on photography!
Fantastic view of a beautiful aircraft.
The shot makes me feel that i should be the one sitting there and experience the thrill!!!!
Just great. majestic plane too
I love the cockpit view, it is amaizing view, nice shot!!!
Great shot!
I love how the Captain and the F/O are just sitting back and enjoying their surroundings together.
Thats what flying is all about my friends.
I love how the Captain and the F/O are just sitting back and enjoying their surroundings together.
Thats what flying is all about my friends.
The detail and lighting is superb, the wide angle give it a three demential feel.
What a coffee shop!! The best seat in the house - no foolin'. A bit better than a DC3.
What a wonderful job.
As Fabio Laranjeira said once: "Sometimes silence are the best words to describe some scenes during a flight."
Lovely view of the cockpit and what a sunrise!
We have come a long way in aircraft technology. iam 73 years old, flew on many old aircraft, and now i look at this great aeroplane, and i am happy for my son who flys thiss 777, great stuff,great site
It looks so high tech and calm
It's better than a personal visit to the flight deck. Quite remarkable...Thank you
The 777 is so lovely...
It's nice to take a break from hand-flying and take a moment to just appreciate the spectacularly beautiful milieu that is our sky. I am so happy to finally be flying in it. It has been and always will be my home.
Thank you for this photo,
Thank you for this photo,
How amazing it looks,to see the cockpit and all the things the pilot and co-pilot have to watch and use,and it looks comfortable for them,which i'd say they need for the hours they have to fly.
Looks like the pilots are realaxing too!
It isn't the first officer, looks like a cruise relief pilot or SO, Only 2 bars on the epaulettes
Really cool picture!!!!!!!!!! a lot of junk in it though:(
Just relax... waw.. simply job.. hehe.. i realy want try to be a pilot.. maybe my son later.. haha..
It is the clarity as well as the colour and the total amount of detail
This is majestic..Simply stuning..This why being a pilot is great..How many jobs allow to you see such a view..
It has been said many times, and will stay like that because IS TRUE
Singapore Airlines, Love it!!!
With out a doubt, the best job in the world. The only other job that could possibly compete with being a pilot is being an astronaut, but that's another senario.
Oh God ! It just moves me .
Do you think they know how great that is or are they just used to it?

All of our client who up^graded Chrome to version 70 are not able to use the filter anymore inside the Webgrid control.
Same here.
Any fix?
same issue, Any fix for this yet?
Same problem here. We need quick resolution
Here is what we changed in webgrid_ui,js to temporarily fix this (in bold):
ProcessFilteredColumns: function(m, k, l) {
var n = null;
var h = m.Grid;
n = h.HeaderContext.parentElement
if(typeof (k) == "undefined")
if(!h.LayoutSettings.ShowFilterStatus || !h.LayoutSettings.StatusBarVisible)
k = true
for(var j = 0; j < m.FilteredColumns.length; j++)
//patch Chrome 70 filter
m.FilteredColumns[j].FilterText = m.FilteredColumns[j].FilterText.trim();
//endpatch Chrome 70 filter
var f = m.FilteredColumns[j];
var a = m.Columns.GetNamedItem(f.ColumnMember);
What's happening is that a tab is being added to the innerText of the cell element. Believe it or not, innerText functionality was not working according to standards in previous versions of Chrome. As part of Chrome's latest release, they fixed it to adhere to these standards. Here is the link to the standard: innerText functionality. If you look at number 6, it explains the standard for table cells. As far as a fix for this and functionality of the webgrid, I'm still workng on that. I've tried stripping the tab and then setting the innerText to the stripped value but it always gets added back. So far the only thing that I can do is strip the value before the code retrieves the data from the database.
webgrid_ui.js can modify, but How to update ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.Resources.dll file. Thanks
When i disable SmartWebResources (doesn't use SmartWebResources) and set the path like below:
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v10_0_7200.RenderingMode" value="HTML5" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v10_0_7200.ScriptDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/WebGrid/V10_0_7200/" /> <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v10_0_7200.ImagesDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/Images/" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v10_0_7200.SharedScriptDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/Shared/" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v10_0_7200.WebDesktopScriptDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/WebDesktop/V5_0_7200/" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v10_0_7200.LocalizationDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/WebGrid/V10_0_7200/Localization/" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v10_0_7200.HelpURL" value="~/Help/h_webgrid.html" />
and set Common Library folder in IIS,
but some image do not show,see attach file
Do you have this in your web.config?
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v10_0_7200.EnableWebResources" value="Never"/>
As I stated previously, the value can be set to "Never" as shown in the example which doesn't use any of the Resource files or to ResourceOnly which only uses SmartWebResources for images, styles, xml files.
Otherwise I'm honestly not sure. All I can tell you is to right click on the image and click inspect element in IE or inspect in Chrome and see what the src of the image is. Then make sure that the image exists in that path.
Just a disclaimer - I don't work for intersoft and I am by no means an expert. My knowledge is limited to the pieces of information that I've researched to exhaustion and it is still spotty.
Is possibile to have an official fix in the .dll file so is easy to set up?
Probably if anyone is still around at Intersoft. I've asked questions in chat and email for a few issues over the last few months and haven't heard anything. They no longer answer forum questions and they haven't put any hotfixes out in a while either. I've resorted to asking a reseller if they know anything but haven't heard back.
That being said I was able to correct the filter (and the tables cells and add new row because we were having problems there too) by using the Client Side Event OnEndRowEditing. Here is what I did. It's not pretty but it works.
function OnEndRowEditing(controlId, row) {
var row_cells = row.GetCells();
for (var i = 0; i < row_cells.length; i++) {
var row_cell = row_cells[i];
if (!row_cell) {
} else {
var row_cell_value = row_cell.Get("Value");
if (row_cell.DataChanged == true && row_cell_value.length > 0) {
if (row_cell_value.substring(row_cell_value.length - 1) == "\t") {
row_cell.SetValue(row_cell_value.substring(0, row_cell_value.length -1), true);
var row_cell_text = row_cell.Get("Text");
if (row_cell.DataChanged == true && row_cell_text.length > 0) {
if (row_cell_text.substring(row_cell_text.length - 1) == "\t") {
row_cell.SetText(row_cell_text.substring(0, row_cell_text.length - 1), true);
return true;
Thanks Lori Neville for the code, i've tried but for me, your code not working. :(
<ClientSideEvents OnEndRowEditing="OnEndRowEditing"></ClientSideEvents>
The filter bar not change the value using this javascript.
Any idea?
Try changing the name of the function (I actually named it GridOnEndRowEditing) just so it's clear you aren't trying to call a built in Intersoft function and also make sure that the javacript file where the function is defined is included in the page the grid is on. In Chrome's dev tools throw a breakpoint into the function and see if it is hitting it after you filter. If it is, step through and see where it might be failing.
I already renamed the funcion and set an alert to test if enter, and enter in the javascript, but the filter not works.

South African Airways (SAA) this week launched a direct route between Johannesburg and Botswana's capital city, Gaborone.
The new route launch is aligned to SAA's focus on Africa. This is in line with the airline's restructuring programme and SAA's mandate of being an African carrier with global reach. Gaborone will become SAA's 20th direct destination into Africa.
The first flight took off on Monday, 23 March. Two flights a day are now operating between the two cities, excluding Saturdays when only one flight is operated. This amounts to a total of 13 flights per week.
SA032 departs Johannesburg at 08h35am arriving in Gaborone at 09h20am and SA033 departs Gaborone at 10h05am and arrives in Johannesburg at 10h55am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
On the same days, SA038 departs Johannesburg at 15h55pm and arrives in Gaborone at 16h40pm and SA039 departs Gaborone at 17h30pm and arrives in Johannesburg at 18h20pm
On Saturdays, SA036 departs Johannesburg at 11h30am and arrives in Johannesburg at 12h15pm and SA037 departs Gaborone at 13h00pm arriving in Johannesburg at 13h50pm. An Airbus A319 with a Business and Economy Class configuration will be used to operate the route.
The launch of flights between South Africa and Botswana will further strengthen SAA's presence in southern Africa, promote business travel in both countries and enhance the seamless connection of passengers to international markets such as the United Kingdom.
South Africa has had strong relations with Botswana since 1992 with regards to, amongst others, trade, health and agriculture. There is a free flow of trade between the two countries. The country has maintained one of the highest economic growth rates in the world since independence although growth has slowed in recent years due in part to the declining global economic environment.
Botswana is best known for its thriving diamond industry which is the biggest source of income for the country. It is also a prime tourism destination within Africa, well known for its abundant nature reserves and wildlife.

It's 7:36 a.m. I slept for almost eight hours and for the first time, in a very long time, only woke up once from baby cries. I can't say I slept well or soundly but I was stationary for those hours. Still. Aside from listening to the rain pouring from the clouds, clouds that have been absent for months. I listened with dread to the answered prayers of park rangers, Glacier National Park lovers, fire fighters, business owners, travelers, ranchers, hikers, and families.
The rain so desperately needed was putting out wildfires while falling through the synthetic sheeting on my unfinished roof, raining on my dining room table and wherever else it could seep in and roll to. I resisted getting up and mopping it all up, knowing my sleep and sanity were more important.
The rain inside has soaked through three towels and two jersey sheets. Wanted water is in the kettle for coffee and I am going outside to gather an armload of kindling and firewood. I hope the baby will sleep in and someone will come to my rescue.
But I don't know what I need to be rescued from, or if I am just being terribly dramatic and momentarily distraught.
The order for more rest and less stress is straight from the neurologist. On September 3rd I had 17 seizures in 24 hours and was put on medication for epilepsy. My family is worried, yet their worry has come to me in a barrage of lecturing advice that all seems to say, "This is what happens when you have too many kids, too many creative projects, want to homeschool and remodel a house, tend animals and a VRBO all at the same time." Their concern translates to me, "Who do you think you are?" So I have been racking my misfiring (but healthy) brain for answers.
I shuffle through the library in my brain searching for women whom have had full plates yet didn't give up because of illness and diagnoses. Saint Elizabeth Seton comes to mind first; although she wasn't ill, she never quit in spite of her circumstances and was a determined and generous caregiver. I think of Mother Angelica who suffered physical pain yet built a monastery. I list woman upon woman who faced obstacles yet persevered and persisted. I begin to compose a piece in my head, "Grit and Glory" all about women: Harriet Tubman, Flannery O'Conner, Mother Teresa, and my favorite Chiara Corbella Petrillo — women with grit that gave it all over for the glory of God.
But it seems for every woman that fought within her vocation despite her illness or disability I can also think of, or imagine, a woman who said, "enough already" and moved from the prairie to the city, who started saying, "no" more often, who hired a housemaid, called it quits and moved to the country, women who stared chaos in the face and said, "good- bye." I don't know where I fit in.
Is it a big deal to now have epilepsy; do I have to slow down; am I being irresponsible? I know women have lived in worse conditions with challenges beyond mine. I am looking for a role model, a comeback queen, a cheerleader, an encourager.
I spent the day waiting, ready and waiting for more rain, more leaks, wanting to come up with a solution to my supposedly "doing too much" and a fix to wrap up unfinished projects. I wrote an exhausting list of all our house projects, from gutting a bathroom to building a wood shed, as a rush of "I am overwhelmed" swept over me.
I feel broken. Am I doing too much? Can I still give when life seems hard? Mother Teresa said, "if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love." I see what my husband and I are doing as love; living simply, not desiring material goods, having animals, working hard, all as love for our children. We see our 9 children as God's gift to us, not as a burden that is now hurting me. I was, am, baffled. I like to forge ahead and navigate obstacles but the exterior voices criticizing me, they cause me to pause. …
What can I do, focus on what I can do? I am asking myself this, not to sound like a workhorse, but there must be some good to my perseverance.
All I can come up with is, "I don't have the answer." I don't know if because of simple, partial seizures I am supposed to persevere or reevaluate. I pray, "God, guide me, which path; is there a path? Am I being dramatic, are others being dramatic? Surely I am not the first mother of nine to be diagnosed with epilepsy. Surely there are other women who want to document and share their lives, thoughts, opinions and ideas, who want to try knew things, meet knew people, cook from scratch and learn to play guitar?" It seemed that the day wore on filled with the jotting of notes, when I finally resolved to just shut myself up and listen to God.
That night I received the first bit of direction. Our priest had just had a pretty serious operation and he called me to see how I was; in his message he said, "I'm recuperating slowly here in the rectory, pretty sore but, ya' know, offering it up in solidarity with Christ …" I was like, "What did he just say? Shoot! I'm missing the point … offering it up, that's it!"
I went to bed with promises of sun the next day and my husband's hopeful safe return from a 4-day elk hunting trip. I woke up with new insight, poured my hot water over my 2 1/2 TBS of coffee grounds and picked up the Magnificat, "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church." (Col 1:24 ) Now I was thinking that someone was trying to show me something. Not only did my "suffering" seem small in comparison but simultaneously useful!
I like to drink my coffee in the morning with a pile of books, yes a pile, always. My dearest, coolest, most awesome friend since babyhood sent me The Catholic Hipster Handbook. I flipped through it and landed on "Offering it Up" by Anna Mitchell. Oh boy, now I felt like I was being followed. Here she writes, "That is why every hipster should be Catholic, because the Catholic Church is the one place where suffering is not only an acceptable means of holiness, it's actually the highest form of holiness — when offered up." I have said this as well, to my own children, also heard it from my parents as a kid. To me they were words that meant "yay, yay, yay, get over it." I didn't see the point or the purpose but still use it on my kids in hopes that they will see past themselves. I love the line where she writes, "It's a phrase that Catholic children may have heard … from their grandparents, who lived at a time when sacrificial living was more in vogue — or at least less avoidable." Isn't that the truth? But she really nails it when she reminds us with this, "We hear a lot of people happily spout the idea of seeing the world through Jesus' eyes. Well, just remember that you have to be nailed to the cross in order to see anything through Jesus' eyes."
But the message wasn't coming through loud and clear enough I guess because everything I picked up that day lead to the same place. We and Our Children was recently and conveniently delivered to my doorstep; by now you get the picture, on page 23 … "Offering it Up." Mary Reed Newland writes, "But suffering embraced and offered to the suffering Christ, even with howls and tears, is a mighty weapon." She is writing to parents but the lesson is valuable to more than the children we are raising, "Every mother in the world kisses the bumps and bruises of her young to 'make them well.' We can give them something much more tangible to do with their hurts than merely bring them to be kissed. We can comfort and calm and then direct them in the use of the pain, and it is surprising how willingly they will learn the lesson of pain and its value." And to top off God's gentle lesson was from Roses Among Thorns: words from St Francis De Sales, "Why do the angels envy us? Truly it is for no other reason than that we are able to suffer for our Lord, while they have never suffered anything for him."
I kid you not, I was not seeking these words out, just drinking deep, dark coffee with cream and honey and my morning pile of published works.
I was getting the drift. I know this though. I know offering up pain, I know hard work, I know long hours, sleepless nights, and yes the intensity of 9 natural childbirths. The difference is that when you are working late hours, painting a house, tilling a garden, tending to sick children, or sweating through a challenge you feel the strength of your body and know there is rest in sight. During labor I can do it; I know my baby and my body are demanding my performance and I have to surrender to nature. Yet this, this new challenge, it feels like my body rebelling against me and I am troubled by it. Tempted to say, "why me?" Yet knowing I have to say "thank you," for it could be worse.
I have found comfort from friends and family in their words of wisdom, "Whenever I have had to decide what to prioritize I try to remember that my first responsibility is to get myself to heaven, next is the soul of my spouse and after that, our children. You cannot do right by them if you are not doing right by yourself. Peace of soul can be so hard to find when you feel that your own good and that of your children are impossible to have together!"
That same friend's mother wrote, "Try 'to think not thoughts of affliction'– and be at peace while you discern, waiting for the good God to make His plan for you clear. I will join you in petitioning Anne C. Emmerich — I LOVE her writings — in helping you with these heavy trials!" These words from a mother of 11; surely she has seen trials.
I know that when those we love are faced with a life stumbling block we want to solve their problems or help them but sometimes the best we can do is just be in solidarity with them and hold them up, reminding them to face the cross. I sometimes post on social media, you know, the craziness of a bunch of kids, or the dust and mess of living in a remodel, but it is always with the intention of letting other moms know that they are not the only ones, that we all have messes, struggles, and rough days. Often the comments are not ones that agree we all have struggles, we all suffer in this life etc. and rather comments that tend to sympathy as if I am looking for it. I am so curious what is this philosophical dilemma? Can I dial up Anthony Esolen and can we all just pull up a chair and listen up? We have strayed so far from, "I hear ya sister, life is hard, offer it up, I'll be over to help with the laundry."
The long and short of it all, of seizures, an EEG, an MRI, not being able to drive for 3 months, a house that was jacked up, tore up and full of sawdust, in the midst of life with 9 kids, etc. etc. is that I want to do what I have set out to do, I don't want to give up, throw my hands up and surrender. I want to write, live the life I have imagined, be a warrior for Christ. I want to fall short, stride long, in for the long haul, for life is short and heaven is eternal.
It's not about how am I going to keep on doing what I am doing, ( which is living my life, living my vocation); it is not about what I do or don't do, but rather offering up the unknowns that present themselves and with Christ look at them, see them and embrace them. Is there a place to find balance to offer up and also reassess? Yes. I can't change the glitch in my brain but I can say, "Here, Christ, I offer this up, this total inconvenience, for the souls in purgatory."
I can take a step back for a few weeks, drive cross country to the red house on Lake Champlain and rest, just soak in the damp earth, the crisp leaves, the dew-drenched fields and be grateful. I can focus on my kids and good books, good writing, good music, art, history and the love of grandparents, be separated from saws, drills, the slaughtering of 4 pigs and the tasks that currently stare at me. I can pray for all the women who do not have that luxury to take a sabbatical. I can look at Jesus and say, "Thank you for loving me enough to train me for bigger things to come, to believe in me, to see the warrior in me, to offer me this cross knowing I would come to the realization that it is all for YOU!"

Sam arrived first, when she already saw Evey come hurrying across the street from the EC Architects building, smiling at Sam before reaching her.
They hugged briefly, then went inside the cafe they met in front of to place their orders.
Both met like this often, in the cafe located between both their places of work, whenever their busy schedules would let them escape for 15-30 minutes for a chat among friends.
This had been a long standing tradition ever since they reconnected years ago.
In the middle of the conversation Evey looked at Sam.
"You okay?"
Sam only shook her head, she was obviously not well at the moment.
"Yeah. No. I think I may be pregnant."
"Yes, again."
"On purpose?!"
"Of course not! Heath and I got a little frisky one day, he teased me, we chased each other through the house and … ended up in the bedroom. I am sure you can guess the rest. I am still breastfeeding so no pill and in the heat of the moment we forgot the other stuff. Now I am too much of a chicken to take a test. Too afraid it will tell me I am right."
"Wow, I would have loved to be a fly on that wall. For the teasing and chasing, not the … other stuff. So hard to imagine Heath losing his usual stiffness to actually be silly like that. I think I haven't seen that since we were kids."
"He has changed a lot, Evey. So much so, that I constantly forget that he is a vampire. If he weren't so pale I think nobody would ever guess. You should see him with the kids. Masterful. I feel like an impostor next to him, even when it has to do with Jacob. That man is absolutely amazing. While I can barely keep the shop from burning down, he never missed a single deadline for his Freelance Writing gig, he takes care of the entire household, takes care of a baby, drops off and picks up the kids from school, helps them with homework, makes them breakfast, lunches and has dinner waiting when I get there. Now, for the most part his cooking is in serious need of improvement, but it's the thought that melts my heart. And he does all that with a smile, never once a complaint."
"No need to pimp Heath to me, I am his biggest fan, I have adored him since I was 5 years old. And I remember all that from when you guys were living with us. I am jealous. If you are ever done with him, KC and I will take him immediately."
"Well, you cannot complain, you didn't do to bad either with that hunk you married. He worships the ground you walk on. You and KC, seriously. Forget the Brangelinas of the world. You are a serious power couple and he is soooooooo sweet with you. I am surprised you two do not have a dozen kids yet!"
"Don't even joke about that! KC and I are lucky if we get to steal a kiss or hug when nobody is looking, especially since our lovely brood figured out how to open doors. Last time he and I felt it was save to get jiggy with things it ended up a near disaster, in the middle of …. you know …. the door flew open and the circus entered, while both of us scrambled to get decent under the covers, KC ended up in a tug-of-war for this boxers with Alpine, that dang mutt – while I had two toddlers fighting about something while sitting on top of me pinning me down until KC won his breeches back by tossing his shoe across the room and plucked them off of me. I was praying for the ground to open and swallow me whole!" The women laughed.
"That's nothing. They are way too little to figure out what was even going on. Abby recently called Heath out on us 'kissing the way that sometimes makes babies', right after we just got through actually doing just that. Heath practically ran and hid from his own daughter, I thought he would need therapy. Hahaha, poor guy." Sam caused the next round of laughing.
Evey got serious again.
"How are things going with Jacob and Abby?"
"Abby is a dream. The perfect little girl. Jacob is … trying. In all senses of the word. I do not know where I went wrong with him. He was such a sweet toddler. I had been under the impression that I am a good mom and that he and I were close, like Heath and Abby. Boy, was I wrong. When he is being mean to Heath or Abby I am so embarrassed that he is my son. Total parenting fail. I just don't get him. I am afraid when he hits the teens. Mercy on us all."
"He's not that bad. Pretty obnoxious, but not THAT bad and it's not your fault, Sam. Maybe he is just going through puberty early, and when he becomes a teen, he'll be perfectly solid."
"I cannot even figure out for certain if he and Abby are friends or foes. Abby is so sweet and kind, hard to be sure. The things he says to that sweet little girl sometimes. Or to Heath. And he will not tell me why he is like that. Ever since Heath and I got back together, he turned into a monster. And I tried to make him feel that he is not second now. He even told me that he knows that. So I do not get it. Did I mention that I am teaching Abby gardening? She is learning fast too. I feel like a proud momma. Even though that one isn't even mine … sadly."
Soon the coffee was empty and the conversation ended, as both of them had to return to work.
One afternoon Sam returned home unusually early from work, Heath was in the kitchen, cleaning up after lunch, and she wasn't alone. In tow she had a stranger, someone Heath didn't recognize.
His name was Orange Bailey-Moon, Jacob's biological father, as he learned.
Heath sent Abby to her room, Sam looked on helplessly as Jacob was talking with his father.
Both feared a big melt-down.
Nothing happened.
When Jacob finally did get up and ran off, his father came to speak with the couple.
"I am taking him with me for some ice cream."
"No, you are not. I have full custody and you would have to ask me first, which you didn't. He does not even know you."
"Mom, please!" Jacob begged, already wearing his coat, ready to leave.
Sam looked cornered, then reluctantly agreed. A big mistake.
Within the week they had a letter from the lawyers requesting custody. Sam declined, a short court battle followed, which – adding insult to injury – Sam lost at a dwindling speed, and for no apparent reason other than Jacob's father being a celebrity with a stable of top lawyers. Heath could do nothing but watch, since he wasn't even a legal guardian to the boy.
So Jacob was to move to Del Sol Valley with his father immediately, but was allowed to come for visits during certain school breaks as decreed by the court.
"Why are you doing this?" Samantha asked Bailey-Moon when he came to pick up his son.
"He is my only son, my only heir. My parents are not going to live much longer and I am not married and not getting younger. I tried to have another kid, but something down there doesn't seem to want to cooperate. I considered medical help and even adoption, but since I already have a son, who I have been paying for since birth, might as well enjoy him and grant him a life like you and your new husband never could. Look at the bright side, Samantha. You have other kids, as I see. I am doing you a favor by taking this burden off you. You won't even know he's gone."
"He is my SON! Of course I will know he is gone. How can you say something cruel like this? How can you do this to me, to him, to all of us?!"
What hurt Sam and Heath even more was seeing how unfazed Jacob was, how excited he was to pack up and go with this quasi-stranger, who once hurt this little boy him so very deeply with words and deeds and his absence and rejection. And that there was nothing at all Sam could do now to protect him.
Packed and ready to go, Abby watched him put the last of his bags by the door.
"Why are you going with him? You told me he was nothing but mean to you." Abby fought hard against her trembling lips.
"He has changed. He is really cool and a movie star. Famous! I mean, here I am nobody. I don't belong here. There it's like .. I mean, it's Del Sol Valley!" Abby had never seen him so excited, which hurt even more.
"I am going to miss you, Jacob." Abby hugged him, barely suppressing the tears.
"You'll get over it." he replied shrugging and not even welling up.
"Aren't you going to miss me?" Abby just wanted to hear him say it.
"Why would I?" BAM! Abby's heart burst into a million tiny pieces as she tried to keep her composure.
"What about your mom? And Ash?" she scrambled for any sign of regret from him.
"Mom doesn't need me anymore. She has a new kid and she has you. You are their favorite anyway, while I can't do anything right. I gotta go now. Bye freak!" That last word cut the deepest.
She hated when he called her that.
Abhorred it!
Abigail stood by, looking deflated and sad as he hopped into his father's limousine and didn't even turn back once.
"Don't cry my angel." she heard her dad's voice next to her, so she turned and hugged him, crying into his shoulder the tears she could not control any longer, he spoke softly to her as he raised her up with him.
Abby didn't know what upset her more, the fact that she cried or that her daddy caught her crying.
She had wanted to be strong. For her daddy. But his hug felt good and she just wanted him to hold her now. She'd be strong again – later.
Why did everybody she ever cared about always leave her?
Even her beloved Aunty Evey barely had time for her now, with her own kids and her being back at work full time. When she still worked from home, Abby would sometimes go to her house after school.
But now she worked again and she would only see her every now and then, usually when it was almost bedtime for her.
While Uncle KC was always fun, she'd only see them for an hour at a time, he worked too, and sometimes until really late.
Jacob had been different, he was her own age and she could connect with him on a different level than the adults.
Sure, she had friends in school, lots of them, but they were just regular kids with normal lives. While Jacob was not a vampire like her, he was somehow different too.
As much as she pretended not to notice, she had known for a while that she never really fit in anywhere and would only be more and more different with each passing year. Just like her daddy had always struggled, she did too, but a lot more secretive than Heath had.
She realized years ago that it made him happy when she smiled and acted carefree, so she played that role for him, as she loved nobody more than her daddy, she wanted him happy too, not worrying about her.
Deep down inside though she felt like a leaf in the wind. Her mother not wanting her, at least not initially, had left a mark, hearing others say terrible things about vampires unaware she was one, seeing people hunt her sweet daddy down like an animal, the memory of seeing him with that collar on for the first time, watching him jump into a gunshot for uncle KC. And through the years she always knew how sad and lonely he had been. The only one there for him was Aunty Evey – and sweet Uncle KC – and when her burden of keeping up appearances and the worry about her daddy got almost too much to bear a few times she nearly confided in them, but didn't, as they would tell her daddy.
He was to think she was happy and had not a single worry in the world.
Which had been the only reason she even put up with that insufferable Jacob. Her daddy looked so happy with Sammy, and she had always liked Sammy and longed for a mother, so she was afraid if she told on Jacob, told her daddy how mean he always was, Sam would leave and her daddy would be all alone again.
And then she started to like Jacob and thought he liked her too.
First chance he got he could not get away from her fast enough. And he was not even a little bit sad about it.
Abby played her happy little girl role at dinner, again while watching a movie with her parents and when they tucked her in, but once they left her room and the lights went off, tears began to flow.
Several weeks passed without even as much as a call from Jacob. At least not when she was home. Over dinner she learned he had been calling his mom directly a few times, but apparently not even asked about her daddy, his baby brother – or her.
It angered and upset her.
Then one night at home before dinner her phone rang. Abby frowned looking at the caller ID and rejected the call. Jacob.
"Who was that honey?" Heath asked.
"Nobody, daddy. Just someone who didn't want me."
"Oh, you mean wrong number?"
"Something like that …" Abby said while turning off her phone.
Some days after that, while playing a game on her laptop, she saw a chat voice call come in.
Her heart began to beat fast, she smiled, but then remembered how long it had been and that he told her he would not even miss her. And all the other things that had hurt her.
She sat back and watched it ring until it stopped, seconds later an instant message popped up.
'Hey freak, are you online?'
She didn't respond. That word again.
'I know you are, your light shows green, means you're active. So answer already!'
Abby shook her head to herself, when the next messages popped up.
'Come on already, write back.'
'Pretty pretty please.'
'With sugar on top'
Pushover! Abby thought as she started typing a response. Maybe he did miss her after all and just now realized it. Hope started to flicker within her like a small candle.
'Sorry, I was busy. What do you want?' she wrote as nonchalant as she could.
Immediately a chat call came in again. Dang it. She answered.
"What took you so long?" she heard his familiar voice, sounding odd through the speakers.
"I told you I was busy."
"With what? Studying, you nerdy freak?"
"So what is so urgent?" Abby tried to play it cool. She hated that word even more now.
The picture on her screen changed as Jacob was turning the tablet he was apparently calling from so she could see all he was talking about.
"Look at my room! It's gigantic! And look at that view! And I am getting a dog, dad said. I can pick whatever I like! This is all so amazing! We already went to a lounge, admittance is 21, but dad is super-famous so they didn't care that I wasn't. It was SO cool! I met all the stars from 'SIMS LIFE' there! This is THE life! So much better than before!"
His last sentence cut deep. While he ran about his new home showing her his new life and gloating about what all they had and did, Abby zoned out.
So that was why he called her.
Just to showboat.
No other reason.
You idiot, what did you expect? A leopard cannot change his spots. she told herself in her mind.
While Jacob on the other end was still rambling on and on Abby hit the hang up button and went to find Sam to help her in the beautiful garden. She enjoyed it and it was a good distraction.
Abby liked watching life grow, burst into colorful flowers and renew itself. Sam seemed to enjoy her interest so Abby had told her she would want to work in her flower shop with her one day.
That had made Sam so very emotional.
Maybe it was the baby she was expecting.
Or maybe at least somebody other than her daddy was excited to have her after all.
Sam was good to her and never once made her feel like she wasn't her real daughter.
While Abby was listening to Sam's instructions in their garden at home, in her room upstairs her laptop kept ringing again and again, dozens of times, only interrupted by the ding of new messages arriving by the dozens, all of which would remain unanswered.

From The Secrets of Bezos:
Intensity is hardly rare among technology CEOs. Steve Jobs was as famous for his volatility with Apple subordinates as he was for the clarity of his insights about customers. He fired employees in the elevator and screamed at underperforming executives. Bill Gates used to throw epic tantrums at Microsoft; Steve Ballmer, his successor, had a propensity for throwing chairs. Andy Grove, the former CEO of Intel, was so harsh and intimidating that a subordinate once fainted during a performance review.
Bezos fits comfortably into this mold. His drive and boldness trumps other leadership ideals, such as consensus building and promoting civility. While he can be charming and capable of great humor in public, in private he explodes into what some of his underlings call nutters. A colleague failing to meet Bezos's exacting standards will set off a nutter. If an employee does not have the right answers or tries to bluff, or takes credit for someone else's work, or exhibits a whiff of internal politics, uncertainty, or frailty in the heat of battle—a blood vessel in Bezos's forehead bulges and his filter falls away.
If I had to choose between a manager who tolerates mediocrity and a manager who throws "nutters", I'd go for the manager who throws nutters any day. Why? Because the most successful companies are built by managers who strive for, and demand excellence. They care passionately about their product and company. Passionately enough to throw "nutters".

Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis (EOTRH) is a painful condition most often found in older horses. This disease mostly affects incisors and canine teeth, but can affect molars as well. The body starts to resorb the affected teeth in this disease. This article will highlight a few EOTRH cases.
A 25-year-old Quarter horse gelding in poor condition, with no history of previous dentistry, was referred for dental evaluation. There was odor coming from the mouth and this horse was sensitive when handled during oral examination. There was an incisor missing on both the upper and lower arcades and the lower canines were slightly mobile.
The etiology of EOTRH is poorly understood at this time. While resorptive diseases are well studied in humans and small animals, hypercementosis as seen in the equine form is not generally present in these other species. As with most equine dental conditions, comparisons with other species can provide some clues but is not that helpful in understanding the root cause of the condition. Anecdotally, it appears that horses in certain regions of the world are much more affected than others – at least based on personal conversations and experience by this author. For example, practitioners in Brazil report extremely rare instances of EOTRH while colleagues in Germany see large quantities of horses affected. Epidemiological studies would be helpful in ascertaining a more solid understanding of the possible causes behind this painful disease.
The upper incisors were so long that the lips couldn't close completely. The gingiva was a red and inflamed with drain tracts and the teeth were mobile. He had tartar and feed packing in his incisors causing a foul odor. The 102, 103, and 306 were missing. There was tartar on the canines and the 403 and 404 were mobile with draining tracts. There were hooks on 106 and 206, and feed was packing between 106 and 107 and 206 and 207 causing periodontitis. Both arcades had a slight wave and the upper 9's were beginning to expire.
There are a minimum of three different types, and because of the different symptoms we need to call it EOTRH-Syndrome as it is used for example in the colic diagnostic. Colic is not an illness. It describes symptoms which could be a result for different reasons. The classification by fistula, hypercementosis or resorption is not really useful, because every infected tooth has these clinical or x-ray signs, even every infected cheek tooth. The only solution in the eye of the author is subdivision.
The major finding was massive EORTH of the incisors, causing discoloration, edema and fistulation of the attached gingiva over the affected tooth roots. She showed signs of pain during clinical examinations triggered by incisor mobility and periodontal inflammation. Radiographs revealed alveolar bone lysis and bulbous enlargement of the intra-alveolar parts of the teeth. The 303 and 403 were fractured. Based on the horse's history, oral exam and radiographs, the decision was made to extract all infected incisor teeth due to the progressive inflammation and pain.
After complication of a stroke he was euthanized. I was able to attain the skull after speaking with the owner about using it for educational purposes. As equine dentist, it is rare to see such as extreme case in the field. At this time we still not know what causes EOTRH. Each case is treated differently depending on severity of the infection. A preventative cure in the future could possibly help cases such as this.
Obviously, there is inflammation of the periodontal tissues and if chronic, that alone could explain the hyper reaction of the cementoblasts to produce excessive cementum. What is causing the inflammation and why does it persist? Two of these cases improved with antibiotic therapy so we assume that a bacterial infection is causing the inflammation. However, the infection seems to return sometime after treatment is discontinued. If the immune system is deficient, which may be due to numerous causes, then the infection can reoccur. Two of these cases involve older horses, which alone can diminish the immune response. Seventy percent of horses over the age of 20 have some degree of endocrine system deficiency, which affects the body's ability to fight infection.

gravity's weaker when you're near, my dear..
i'm so lookiong forward to a relatively relaxing [boring? maybe.] saturday. having spent the majority of the last 10 days at my parents' house to house-sit, and then had an evening meeting the day i came home, and then friends for tea last night, i feel i haven't really been 'home' for ages..
is it sad that i'm actually relishing the prospect of housework, washing, ironing [my favourite chore!] and getting on with my first sewing commission through the blog - yay! i promise that the next thing on my list when things are a little less crazy at work is to set up either an etsy / folksy shop - i have to do some research on the difference etc..
anyway, onto my outfit - the dress is a h&m one from years back, via ebay i think. i love the print and the cut around the sleeves, which you can't really see in these pics..and it fits a lot better round the waist this time, last time i wore it i remember it being more snug, so i guesss that's a goood sign, even if the wii fit isn't showing as much weight loss as i'd like..i am at a bit of a standstill with keeping fit at the moment, i haven't been to the actual gym in a while, or runninng as my stomach pains seem to be worse when i try, but i did manage to get on the wii fit a few times last week and also did go swimming, which i guess must have done something..i would really like to get started on the 30 day shred which i keep hearing a lot about from other bloggers; can't wait to get my hands on a copy of it !
the cardi is just my ancient, go-to, topshop one which should be falling apart by now, i think i bought it as part of a mystery shopping assignment to my local topshop [otherwise there would be no way i would have paid £30 for a black cardigan] and i wore it all the time i worked in the bar in town, and with any outfit when i'm not feeling knitwear-inspired! cost per wear must be into the minus figures by now..
and thes shoes, they were from schuh in my trip to the sales at the bullring on new yr's eve just gone..i hoped that the colours in the lovely floral print would match the rusty colour of the hearts on the dress..
i'm hoping that everything is going to be a little less stressful next week, and that i will stop being so grumpy - i feel awful as i've been in a bad mood all the week and have been probably taking it out on people when i shouldn't..
8 comments:

Where's my truck? Where's my shipment?
Historically, answering those questions have been a challenge.
Over the last few years, the Construction industry has been trying to move up the digital transformation maturity curve. There's a lot of demand for having real-time visibility into truck and order location statuses. Expectations for visibility and transparency are changing now that we live in and "Amazon world." You can order a product and have it delivered to your door within 2 days, all while receiving status updates of your product along the way. If you can enjoy this luxury in your personal life, why would you not expect it at work as well?
This is something that the Construction industry is realizing, and the ready mix sector of the industry is actually farther along on this transformation curve. A lot of ready mix companies have been investing in providing more visibility to their customers for years because they generally own their own fleet. It's easy to tell your employees what expectations you have for their operational processes.
However, the bulk construction industry is a little bit more complex. While some companies do own some of their own trucks, a lot of the deliveries that they need to make are contracted through third party haulers. Dealing with other logistics companies isn't something that the industry has invested in in the past, and trying to achieve uniform visibility from so many different haulers is a big challenge.
What advancements are being made that help companies overcome these challenges? Let's start with the smart phone…it's in everyone's pockets, including truck drivers because that's either how they're running their lives, or how they choose to run their business. With a smart phone, short haul bulk construction drivers can affectively work with virtually any company that contracts them out. The next step is to provide them with something that is easy to use and gets them paid so that they will be willing to work with your company again.
In this Talking Logistics webinar segment, Adrian Gonzalez discusses with Matt Brinker, Product Manager at Command Alkon, about capturing data from their third-party bulk haulers. Why is having all your data in one place so important and what are some ways to achieve this?:

KBR Inc., Halliburton Found Not Immune in Burn-Pit Suits
KBR Inc. and Halliburton Co. aren't automatically immune from lawsuits by military service members over illnesses caused by exposure to contractor burn pits, a U.S. appeals court said, reversing a lower court ruling. KBR is only entitled to immunity if it adhered to the terms of its contract with the government, something the district court failed to explore adequately, U.S. Circuit Judge Henry Floyd wrote in sending the case back for further proceedings.
The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel in Richmond, Virginia, is the latest rebuff to KBR's argument that it should be insulated from liability in lawsuits over its performance in Iraq and Afghanistan by laws shielding contractors during wartime. KBR is disappointed by the ruling and is evaluating options for appeal, Richard Goins, a company spokesman said in an e-mailed statement.
"We ultimately believe the U.S. Supreme Court will decide the proper application" of company defenses including that it operated under the military control and direction that confers immunity on a contractor, Goins said.
Electrocuted Soldier
KBR asked the Supreme Court in January to hear its appeal of an August ruling by a federal appeals court in Philadelphia that revived a lawsuit brought by the family of a soldier electrocuted while taking a shower in his barracks in Iraq.
The family claims that KBR was negligent in servicing the barracks plumbing.
The high court hasn't decided whether to hear the appeal.
KBR criticized today's ruling on burn pits, locations where material including medical waste, paint and pesticides were disposed of, for its "misguided" reliance on the Philadelphia decision.
In that case, the Philadelphia appeals court said a contractor can't claim immunity unless it acted under explicit instructions from military overseers.
"Where the military does not exercise control but merely provides the contractor with general guidelines that can be satisfied at the contractor's discretion, contractor actions taken within that discretion do not necessarily implicate unreviewable military decisions," Floyd wrote, citing the Philadelphia ruling.
Consolidated Suits
The burn pit case against KBR and its former parent, Halliburton, consolidates 58 lawsuits alleging harm from exposure to toxic smoke and contaminated water from the pits in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Susie McMichael, a spokeswoman for Houston-based Halliburton, which spun off KBR in 2007, referred an inquiry seeking comment on the ruling to KBR.
Susan Burke, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said her clients look forward to a deeper look at KBR's activity.
"We're confident that further discovery will show that KBR acted outside the control of the military," Burke said in a telephone interview.
According to Floyd's summary of the case, service members claim injury because KBR "violated military directives in its performance of waste disposal and water treatment services" and breached its contract with the government.
The burn pit litigation and the electrocution suit are among at least five sets of cases involving work in Iraq and Afghanistan that KBR is defending by invoking wartime immunity.
In November 2012, a jury in Oregon awarded $85 million to a group of soldiers who alleged they were poisoned by toxic chromium dust at a KBR worksite in Iraq. KBR is appealing the verdict.
Another set of chromium poisoning cases is being litigated in federal court in Houston.
Also in Houston, the company in January won dismissal of a suit brought by the families of 12 Nepali workers killed while they allegedly were forced to work against their will at company sites in Iraq in 2004.
The burn pit case is In re KBR Inc. Burn Pit Litigation, 13-1430, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (Richmond).

At the BKLYN Designs show this year, designers Levent & Romme added a technological twist to their traditional techniques of craftsmanship by using lasers to cut out these illustrations on watercolor-paper lanterns.
Hand drawn using paper and a pen first, the designs were then carved out of a single, thick piece of watercolor paper, and rolled to create a floor-standing lampshade. Tabbed designs were then carved to keep the tube's shape without other sources of adhesives or fasteners. Whether or not these lamps are fire resistant is unknown, but admittedly, seeing one of these go up in flames would also look pretty cool. [Levent & Romme via Inhabitat]
