The Savage XL – Extra Large Size and Mega Power!Check out the new macho addition to the Savage line-up! The Savage XL is the super-large, extra-tough and supremely powerful bigger brother to the Savage monster trucks. With a longer wheelbase, wider stance and huge 5.9cc (.36 cubic inch) engine, the Savage XL is ready to rock and roll right out of the box! We were looking to expand the Savage range of monster trucks and had to consider what would capture the imagination and hearts of legions of HPI Savage fans. HPI designers settled on a larger, fun-oriented version of the Savage with massive great tyres, a giant chunky bodyshell and powered by the biggest engine ever offered in a production Savage monster truck. The end result is the Savage XL!
It's all about CHOICE!
Extreme Size...Extreme Power...Extreme Menace!
Extreme Action...Extreme Speed...Extreme Performance!
Awesome XL Looks!The Savage XL definitely looks the part of the massive monster truck! The extended wheelbase is the perfect evolution of the Savage design, and the extended chassis and larger tyres are a perfect match for the new, bigger 'Gigante' bodyshell! The wide front grille and huge headlights of the XL bodyshell merge with the flared wheel arches front and rear for a huge 'wow factor', adding to the impression of huge size and strength! The tall, wide Terra Pin tyres fit the bodyshell perfectly for a fantastic scale look that's sure to intimidate the opposition at your local bashing arena! Finally, while the new 8-hole wheels look huge, they use a standard 17mm hex hub so it's easy to change the look and style of the XL as often as you like! The Savage XL isn't all just looking great, but we went all-out to make sure it looks as impressive as it performs!
Size does matter...Bigger in every dimension than the Savage X trucks that stand next to it, the XL is taller, longer and wider, with a longer wheelbase, more ground clearance and tyres nearly 7 inches across! It's based on the practically indestructible Savage X chassis but features even more durability upgrades like 3mm TVP plates and engine mount, machine-cut differential ring and pinion bevel gears, steel spur gear, heavy duty clutchbell, extra heavy-duty dogbones, new larger diff outdrives and axles, machined brake hub, dual fibre disk brakes and much more! Read on to find out more about the Savage XL! It will absolutely blow you away!
Extra-Long Alloy ChassisTo get the long wheelbase of the Savage XL, HPI designers settled on using an all-new extended TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) chassis that is made from 3mm thick 6061 aluminium. 6061-series aluminium is light and strong and provides the strength for stretching the Savage platform to its limits! The chassis features the cool Savage 'X' styling, plus a few extra design features etched into the chassis to really make it stand out! The engine is fitted to a one-piece engine mount which is then firmly attached to a 3mm extra thick engine mounting plate that is mounted between the TVP chassis. These are the thickest standard TVP and engine plate parts ever used on a Savage monster truck, and can easily withstand the torque of the massive Nitro Star K5.9 engine, plus anything else you can throw at the truck.
Tall All-Terrain TyresNew Terra Pin tyres stand tall, at 170mm (nearly 7 inches across!) to soak up ruts, bumps, rough landings and more! The tough spike pattern makes the Terra Pins great in grass and loose dirt, while the chevron centre pattern give it good directional stability while on the harder stuff. The tall sidewalls provide extra shock absorption and allow the tyres to grip extremely as they roll over obstacles. Speaking of obstacles, they won't stand a chance as the Terra Pins roll over them!
3 Speed Transmission InstalledThe Savage XL features the Savage 3-speed transmission to get the most out of the huge torque from the K5.9 engine. This gives you the best acceleration and top speed possible, getting all the power efficiently to the ground for maximum fun and enjoyment! The transmission is fully adjustable, too, so you can choose how early or late the XL will shift into higher gear!
Wider Stance & 17mm Hex HubsTo widen the stance of the Savage chassis, the XL uses aluminium extending axles with 17mm hex hubs. These are lightweight and tough, and fit any 17mm hex monster truck or truggy type wheel, so your collection of monster truck wheels are perfectly usable! Serrated steel wheel nuts grip the plastic of the wheels to keep them locked in place, making sure that you'll never see a wheel bouncing past your truck!
New Tougher Suspension UprightsThe XL features all-new uprights designed for the larger tyres and weight of this massive beast, and HPI designers have made these parts standard across the Savage X range for even better durability for all Savage X trucks! Beefier parts means the truck can take far more abuse and punishment, giving you plenty of big-air thrills before a parts breakages forces you to take a break. These are the types of running changes HPI customers are used to, and why Savage owners keep coming back for more and more!
Reinforced All-Metal DifferentialsThe Savage XL continues the run of tough, overbuilt, solid monster trucks: a wide range of durability options, plus several new drivetrain parts, are a standard part of the Savage XL's arsenal of tricks. Machined diff ring and pinion bevel gears easily take the power of 5.9cc of nitro-burning mayhem, alloy diff cases and 4-gear diffs with new larger diff outdrives and axles round out the ultra-strong differentials, while extra heavy-duty dogbones get the power to both ends and all four wheels with ease.
Larger Diff OutdrivesGetting the power to the dogbones are larger, thicker and stronger diff outdrive cups. These machined steel outdrives can take the punishment of the suspension movement and the power of the K5.9 engine to get you through the toughest driving conditions and terrain with no problems!
Thicker DogbonesNew extra-thick, super duty dogbones provide the insurance you'll want when you take the XL way off-road and into rough country! The thicker diameter, larger ends and sleek black anodizing add up to all the assurance you'll want that the drivetrain won't let you down when the going gets tough! You'll be able to commit the full power of the K5.9 engine to the ground without worrying about drivetrain breakages or anything else!
Machined Steel Spur GearA machined steel 52T spur gear is the perfect match for the horsepower of the Nitro Star K5.9 engine. With the heavy duty vented clutchbell spinning the spur gear, you get a huge amount of drivetrain protection with gears that won't strip, melt or break! You'll have security and peace of mind that your truck will not only perform superbly, but last as long as possible in the roughest of terrain and conditions!
Aluminium Three-Shoe ClutchThe Savage XL uses a new 3-shoe aluminium clutch to get the power from the engine into the drivetrain. Using a unique, new blend of aluminium, the clutch shoes will resist wear, not be affected by engine heat and last for a very long time. There's no more secure way to get the power to the ground!
High Torque Metal Gear Steering ServoHPI designers settled on a super-strong, extra-tough high torque metal gear servo. With nearly 9kg of force per centimeter (that's 126psi!), the SF-5 will get those tall Terra Pins turning easily at any speed! There's no need to upgrade the servo for anything else - this baby's got it all! With the bellcrank steering and built-in servo saver, you can be sure that the SF-5 will be fully protected against crash damage or bad landings, too!
6v NiMH Receiver Pack and ChargerTo make sure the servos have all the power they need and then some, we're throwing in an HPI 1200mAh NiMH battery pack! This rechargeable pack even includes a convenient wall charger so you can make sure that the XL is always ready to rumble! You don't even need to take the pack out of the truck to charge it - just use the convenient charging jack built into the radio box and you'll be ready to go in no time!
Easy to Drive!All this power and durability gets you nowhere unless the truck is easy to drive and can get you through the rough stuff, so HPI designers made sure that the Savage XL can take everything you can through it at and come through handling like a champ! The first thing that hits the ground are the huge HPI Terra Pin tyres, which feature a tall sidewall, expanding carcass cross-section and tough spikes to rip through grass and loose dirt. The tall tyres make handling the rough stuff easy, and the ground clearance of better than 7cm (over 3 inches) gets you over any obstacles with room to spare! In addition to the friendlier handling, the XL can handle even rougher terrain than the rest of the Savage monster trucks because its massive size. The Savage XL is more forgiving in extreme terrain than other Savage trucks, making it easier to control and more forgiving in the most terrifying conditions!
New Upgraded Parts
New Aluminium Exhaust SystemWith a curved rear-exhaust manifold directing exhaust gases to the shiny aluminium 2-chamber tuned pipe, the specialized K5.9 exhaust system produces loads of horsepower that just demands to be used! The exhaust system is spring-loaded to enable it to withstand the brutal landings of big-air jumps and driving over any type of terrain, and is designed just for the K5.9 engine to produce maximum punch and monstrous top speeds!
Tough ABC ConstructionWith true ABC construction (Aluminium case, Brass Chrome-plated piston and cylinder), the Nitro Star K5.9 delivers massive torque and horsepower and is as durable as possible. The three-needle carburettor uses a 9.5mm inlet to get in as much fuel as possible and uses a composite body to prevent heat from the engine case affecting the fuel supply. A huge, black, flow-through finned heatsink head keeps things cool, and even features a sweet laser-etched logo!
Dual-Stage Air FilterA dual stage pre-oiled air filter is used to keep dirt and fine particles of dust from entering the engine. The air filter is securely mounted on a 90-degree rubber tube so it is placed in the perfect position and stay in place through any type of driving.
Roto Start 2 InstalledGet things going quickly with the Roto Start 2 starting system, which is pre-installed onto the back of the engine. The Roto Start 2 replaces the standard pullstarter with a handheld shaft-drive starting unit so you don't have to deal with pullstarting the engine by hand. Just install a charged 7.2v stick-pack battery into the Roto Start 2 hand unit, insert the shaft into the back of the engine, press the button and you're off! It really doesn't get any easier!
RTR - PERFORMANCE STRAIGHT FROM THE BOXHPI makes it as easy as possible for beginners to get into Nitro RC. The Savage XL RTR it is completely pre-built and ready to go right out of the box! Everything is assembled and tuned for you by professionals - diffs, slipper clutch, shocks and more are perfect before you even open the kit and with all the top Savage options already installed, so you don't have to do a thing to get going fast! HPI Ready-To-Run models bring you the same high performance and quality that you'd expect from a high end model car kit but with the added convenience of being factory pre-assembled to the highest standards - giving you a high performance RC truck straight from the box! HPI RTR cars and trucks are 98% factory assembled - they come Ready-To-Run and equipped with all the radio gear required. Just a few steps are needed to get your car up and running, such as adding the batteries to the transmitter and receiver and if you have a nitro powered car, running in the engine - which is now even easier with our comprehensive manual and HPI RC cars DVD which are both included in every box.
Full Assembly Instructions and HPI RC Cars DVDAs with all HPI cars and trucks, you get a full, in depth instruction manual with step by step instructions that allow you to easily disassemble and reassemble your monster truck for maintenance and easy servicing. The information on the HPI RC Cars DVD provides a complete and detailed introduction to the fascinating world of RC model cars. This DVD will show you step by step how to start and run in a Nitro engine, and how to get the best performance from your HPI RC car. The HPI RC Car DVD is your personal RC car expert in a box!
High Quality Radio GearThe reliable and sturdy HPI TF-3 radio controls the Savage XL, giving you superb control in a well-designed pistol-grip radio! The steering wheel design makes you feel as if you're actually driving the truck, and the trigger-style throttle and brake controls provide you with finger-sensitive action when accelerating and stopping! The radio transmitter features interchangeable frequency crystals so you can drive with your friends, servo reverse switches, a retractable aerial with sliding cover, easy access to radio adjustments and simple AA battery replacement. The steering for the XL is handled by the new, tougher metal-gear HPI SF-5 high-torque servo, which has plenty of grunt to turn the front wheels at low and high speeds, in any sort of terrain. A truck this size needs the power and torque of a strong servo, and the SF-5 is just the ticket, providing 8.9kg/cm2 at 6 volts (that's 126 psi!) of power. To make sure the servos have plenty of juice, the XL includes an HPI 1200mAh NiMH receiver battery pack and charger. Recharging is easy with the charging jack built into the radio box – just remove the rubber plug and insert the charging plug. The HPI TF-3 radio gives you long-range and reliable communication with your truck. Finally, if you ever want to upgrade your electronics you'll find it extremely easy, because all of the electronics are standard-size RC components with standardized connectors. Any or all of the components can be upgraded or replaced whenever you like, or even moved into a different RC vehicle in the future. The Savage XL will accept any standard-size servos and any 4- or 5-cell receiver battery pack.
Available With Either Blue Or Orange 'Gigante' Bodyshell!With the Savage XL, you get your choice of a striking pre-painted blue or orange GT-2 bodyshell with a great racing scheme, or you can customize your truck with any of the clear or pre-painted polycarbonate bodyshells from the huge range of HPI Savage bodyshells!

WHOA! Your abs rock! What have you eaten on free day? Are you doing anything extra or just sticking to the bfl plan?! Could post a day of eating and a free day so I can get some idea as to if I am doing what I'm supposed to? Amazing...you are my hero! I'm at 6 weeks into my post baby 2nd challenge.
Being completely honest here this challenge was nearly 2 years ago and my free days were UGLY!! Wine, cheese, candy, cookies, taco bell ... you name it! I always felt sick and bloated on my free days. I have since gained control, but it took a looooong time! My meals were pretty simple:
M1: egg whites and oatmeal (or protein shake and fruit on weights days)
M2: Turkey burger with veggies
M3: chili or chicken and veggie soup
M4: Pumpkin protein muffins
M5: Tuna and an apple
M6: Greek yogurt with stevia frozen wild blue berries, cinnamon, and 1T peanut or Almond butter
My 6th meals was pretty much always the same, it really helped with my sweet tooth I LOVE greek yogurt. The other meals I switched around a bit, but the more simple I kept it the easier it was. Also because I am a control freak I typically tried to get 20g protein and 20g carbs at each meal and that worked for me. And of course TONS of water.
When I was doing this challenge I stuck to the plan 100%!!! IT WORKS! Since then I have tried many different programs but I ALWAYS come back to BFL, it is what works for me and keeps me lean and happy! I am so glad to help motivate you! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks dearly. This is what I eat generally speaking (hope you don't mind scrutinizing me)... m1: ww eng muffin, sugar free jam 1/2 c egg w m2: 20 g protein bar m3: 4 oz chicken, 1 c beans, 1/2 c brown rice m4: 1/3 c oatmeal & 30 g protein shake m5: 4 oz lean beef, 2 corn tortillas, lettuce, salsa m6: greek yogurt
Free Day for me is a catastrophe. I am usually bloated and sick and definately over eat. My goal this round is to try and gain some self control and not splurge so much. I hope my abs can be flat like yours someday. Maybe I'm eating too many carbs? Smart carbs are listed as beans (not sure if that means any kind of beans or just the green veggish kind). Also, I've upped my food quanitities this round because I've always been starving on bfl before. I'm not a small build. I'm 5'8 and wear a size 8 pants. Thanks again for all your needed advice. I appreciate so much that people are willing to offer their great ideas so I don't have to waste so much time through trial and error.
First I think you are doing a great job. The below is just what I noticed, however I am NO expert. I do know that while I do eat protein bars and shakes and artificial sweeteners they tend to make me more hungry and crave sweets more, so keep that in mind! I really hope some of this helps!! Whatever you do just keep going!! Hugs ... You can do this!
m1: ww eng muffin, sugar free jam 1/2 c egg w - How many carbs are in that english muffin? I would stay around 20g or under, also ditch the sugar free jam (its not awful, but not really approved either), I would also try upping your egg whites to 3/4C
m2: 20 g protein bar - Carbs? Protein? Sugar? When I eat protein bars I try to pick the ones with little or no sugar and around a 20/20 ratio ... Pure Protein and Think Thin are two that meet that criteria. Also, I try to stay away from protein bars unless I am out of the house, and need something fast. They don't fill me up and I am usually hungry soon after.
m3: 4 oz chicken, 1 c beans, 1/2 c brown rice - if you beans are green beans fine, otherwise you are eating carbs on top of carbs. So its either rice OR beans OR half a portion of each (about 1/4C beans and 1/4C rice).
m4: 1/3 c oatmeal & 30 g protein shake - This is good, I would still aim for 20-25g of protein, out bodies can only use up to 25g of protein at 1 meal, so anything more is not necessary. Also how about a Tbsp peanut butter or virgin coconut oil so add some healthy fat ... I don't see any fat on you list and healthy fat is SOOOOOO important!
m5: 4 oz lean beef, 2 corn tortillas, lettuce, salsa - I would go for low carb WW tortillas over corn (thats just me however) OR put that beef and salsa over a large bed of lettuce (and spinach) with some sauteed bell peppers and onions for a fajita salad ... YUMM!
m6: greek yogurt - is this plain or flavored? Nonfat or low fat? I always go for plain greek yogurt as the flavored varieties have way too much sugar. I flavor my yogurt with cinnamon, and stevia, maybe some frozen wild blueberries and a T of nut butter. If you are not against artificial sugar splenda works well as well as a tsp of sugar free pudding mix!!
Thank you dearly! I appreciate your feedback so much. Makes sense where I need to definately make some adjustments. What great advice! I will be making some changes you mentioned most definately. I have 5 weeks left in this challenge and I want to make the very most of it!

9 Comments
I house sat for someone with a curved rod. It was amazing. I'm definitely getting one when I buy.
I just moved into a house with the "L" style in the first picture (with the same ceiling connection rod and everything). While it's certianly unique- it's not easy at all to find shower curtians that will fit! I'm looking into making one myself- but I'm also wondering- does anyone have any suggestions of places that sell extra-wide curtians? I can occasionally find an extra-long, but the extra-wides are extremely rare!
As an owner of two claw foottubs - we use two shower curtains for the outside of the tub.
I love my curved curtain rod. The guy that rented before us probably needed the space, but the amount of difference it makes is just outrageous.
The others are smart options for older homes that probably had showers put in later. I loved my claw tub from a prior rental and miss it dearly.
We have an L-shaped rod (like the first picture) and regular shower curtains work fine. Maybe they're a little tight, but they cover the whole shower area. The trick is to place the shower curtain rings in the right places on either side of the support rod.
I'm totally jealous of those of you with the curved rods... I've experienced them in hotels and am amazed by how spacious they can make a regular tub feel.
My husband installed a curved rod because like @Slangevar, having seen them in hotels he was convinced it would transform our shower. And he was right! I could never go back.
for the "L" rod, why not just buy two curtains?
I need an "L" shaped shower curtain solution. I live in an open loft and the ceiling is almost 20 feet high, so a ceiling support is not an option. Are there L shaped rods that can stand up without the extra support?
You have to get two shower curtains. You can sew them together, but there should be enough folds to hide the division.

Inspired by @bearwithclaws' and @cheeaun's own posts, I thought I should sit down and reflect on 2012.
This year has seen a number of firsts for me:
- Quit my job and founded a company!
- Pair programmed with @kamal, @bearwithclaws, and very briefly @sengming — a tremendous learning experience for me in Rails, JavaScript, and CSS. Between them, they've helped redefine how I think as a developer.
- Learnt Ruby, and Ruby on Rails.
- Attended Red Dot Ruby Conf for the first time. This was really fun thanks to the guys at SAYS, Aaron Chipper, and of course, the regular crew from Fluent Space and WCKL :)
- Vacationed overseas for the first time (despite having travelled internationally dozens of times for work) at Sri Panwa in Thailand.
It's been a good year, all things considered. I think a lot of it had to do with my actively spending time slowing life down, stopping to smell the metaphorical roses if you will.
Here's to 2013, and new beginnings.
P.S.: @kamal I still remember the way you used to grip that glass of water oh so firmly during those first few days when I stumbling around in Ruby :)

Alex Ryerson has been kidnapped while visiting Hogsmeade on a school trip. Auror Ginny Weasley has been assigned to find him. But when Alex's father turns out to be the presumed dead Harry Potter, things get complicated and secrets cannot be kept forever.
"Why have you always insisted on calling me Harry?" In a world beyond the war, in a future that is nothing less than imperfect, a son confronts his father.
There is a strange, emerald-eyed man who lives on the corner of Adian Avenue, forever alone and anonymous. That is, however, until a young boy on the cusp of entering the magical world visits him and reveals, for a time, the true secret of the hermit of Adian Avenue. [one-shot]

Three meetings, two people, one place. The girl and the boy, together and apart. Nothing lasts forever, but at least she remembers when it felt like eternity, when the days were soft, the nights of dark and their love, forever [Lily/James AU]

Seattle >Bars & Clubs > Reservoir Tavern
8509 Roosevelt Way NE, Seattle, WA | Directions 9811547.690613 -122.317781
Neighborhoods: North, North Seattle, Maple Leaf
Neighborhood take a dive bar – A dive bar for sure, where you can go and actually see patrons yelling at the bartender for another beer. Ive never been to a place like this, who does that. The poor bartender trying to do it all because the place is understaffed. And what kind of bar weighs their booze? A bar who has tight ass owners. I went in for a second try and the cute bartender who was suppose to be there is replaced by this a guy. I saw this bartender at safeway down the street a week later and she explained that the boss was unreasonable to work for, that she got accused for things she didnt do and that she cant defend herself because the boss is unreasonable and wont hear of it, tells her shes argueing with him. The turnover rate on bartenders speaks for itself, a patron told me that they go through bartenders like water. All I know is that if you go in there, be prepared to be looked at by old people who have nothing better to do than make you feel uncomfortable and careful if they approach you. The place is full of shady happenings, I saw a few guys getting high there.
WTF – greasy fries, fine.
draft beer tasted suspiciously watered down...lame! We came to notice most people were drinking bottled beer. Watered down beer, look it's bad enough we live in a country that is full of crappy watered down beer to start with, it's just unfair when bars take it further.
friendly, local neighborhood dive – Just perfect for a couple quick very cold ones after work, even with "happy hour" prices. The bartenders sure seem to have fun and enjoy the repartee with the regular customers. The backyard facilities for groups include: BBQ for BYO potluck, bleacher seating, soon a large TV for sporting events, picnic tables and chairs. This is also super for avoiding the heavy smoke clouds inside. Stay tuned for additional review of the food but the menu definitely is limited and straight tavern grub. The men's toilet is an anachronism, or just reveals just how old this place is; this tiny space has nice clean ceramic tile walls and floor and a pedestal sink plus an antique brass pull handle on the door.
RESERVOIR TAVERN RULES! – PROS: Ice cold Rainier, insane bartender, grit and all-around bar-i-ness, great jukebox, I can't remember using the pisser so it must have been immaculate! CONS: Terrible shuffleboard surface, distance from ATM.

The Copenhagen launch of the 40% report
This morning Friends of the Earth International in partnership with the Stockholm Environment Institute held a press conference in the Bella Center to launch the 40% study which shows that 40% emissions cuts in Europe are achievable.
The study prepared by Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) in partnership with Friends of the Earth Europe proves for the first time the feasibility and affordability of achieving at least 40% emissions cuts in Europe by 2020 compared to 1990 levels, without offsetting.
Dr Charlie Heaps from the SEI set out the methodology used in the report and his graph clearly showed that the current targets being proposed by Europe "leave little room for non-Annex 1 countries to develop."
Sonja Meister from Friends of the Earth Europe set out the case for why Europe really has to push for 40% and laid out some of the benefits too:
"The EU should recognise the benefits of making such cuts. Investment in renewables and energy efficiency would create seven jobs per every one in fossil fuels. There are also many health benefits."
Interview with the Bolivian ambassador to the United Nations, Pablo Solon
The landslide victory of Evo Morales in the Bolivian elections, the official negotiations of the COP 15 to the UN Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen and the role of social movements here, were some of the issues mentioned by Bolivian ambassador to the UN, Pablo Solon, in an exclusive interview with Real World Radio.

By groupie request…. Orange Blossom Special
The following was an accident. We were recording other things in the studio in late July (this year), when, during a moment of pause, our violinist starting fooling around (as we all do in the studio) with this tune, the Orange Blossom Special, a very well-known Bluegrass tune. Next thing you knew, everyone else kicked in and started playing. Little did we know the recorder was rolling. So, we had this thing on tape.
Now, this is a Bluegrass tune, not a Klezmer tune, and certainly not a Jazz or a Rock tune, so it had nothing to do with the types of music we play, and we really did not know what to do with it. We were thinking of filing it away in scrap land. But, it leaked out. People were blown away by it, and many of them asked us to release it. We are still not sure what we are going to do with it, but decided to acknowledge the fans and post it on the site, just for kicks. I guess it shows our diversity.
The inside joke is that the band is calling it "Jewgrass!" Listen for yourself. Enjoy. This is completely unedited. Note that Fred on Clarinet is not present in this, as he was out in the other room getting his sugar with coffee.
Your Opinion Counts- Choose Tracks for their Upcoming Album!
The New Klezmer Quintet is working on their next album. We have 5 new tracks and we are trying to decide which ones to use on the album. Help us decide which tracks to use. Please rate them 1 through 5 or don't use.
We will look to see which track earned the most votes, and those who chose that track will win a pre-released, autographed copy of our new CD as it is released some time early next year. In addition, we will do a raffle of all those who chose the winning track, and the winner of that will be given 2 free tickets to the next New Klezmer Quintet concert. We look forward to seeing which track you think is the best!

We know that using your optometry practice management and EHR system to participate in Meaningful Use is already a lot of work for you and your staff. So what could make it worse? An audit.
Most audits are triggered automatically, and not from a red flag or something that you might have done. And, the CMS will audit somewhere between 5-10% of all participants in the program. So while your chances are pretty slim, don't freak out in the event of an audit. There are steps you can take to be prepared so that you can be successful against an audit.
Record. Record. Record. We can't tell you enough! It's your responsibility to maintain your attestation documents, and if you're organized during your Meaningful Use attestation period and you keep a detailed and accurate record of all of your Meaningful Use requirements than you will be well-prepared in the event of an audit. Once you've been selected for an audit, if you try and go back and obtain all of this information it might be hard to find. Here's a few things to double check and keep records of during your attestation:
In the event that you do receive an audit notice, don't put it off. An audit is going to require you to do some extra work. It might be time consuming to get together all of the documents that you'll need, so get started right away in compiling the necessary reports. Once you've been selected for an audit you will have 14 days to get your documentation in order. And remember, the Meaningful Use Incentive Program was created with the purpose of giving money back to eligible professionals. They want you to pass your audit so that they can give you the money you earned.
Having a certified EHR system is a requirement for participating in Meaningful Use, so make sure that you choose the system that will be the right fit for your practice. When looking for the right EHR make sure that you look for solutions based off of modern technologies. And when it comes to attesting to Meaningful Use you will want to know all of the features inside and out so that you can keep your workflow running as efficiently as possible.
On top of that, your EHR system should make recording your data easy. Does your system provide helpful reporting and analytics to help guide you through attestation documentation? Does the system populate duplicate information throughout a patient's visit to help save time and avoid data entry errors? These are just a couple of little details to think about when looking for the right system. You'll need your software vendor to be a resource to help you get through everything you need in case of an audit.
If you're interested in getting started with Meaningful Use, you'll need a system that is 2014 certified. Check out Uprise, our cloud-based practice management and EHR system!
Technology has been at the forefront of modernizing healthcare and optometry office software across the globe. And while many advancements in technology come with a hefty price tag, we've got one that won't bust your bank.
Tablets. Are you using them in your eyecare practice? Or, are you still resorting to being grounded to a desktop computer? While tablets may not be for everyone, there are a handful of benefits that tablets can provide for your practice. Android tablets or iPads are versatile and can provide both you and your staff with a more modern way of running your practice.
One of the most obvious benefits that tablets can offer your practice is mobility. You're able to keep your tablet on you and carry it from room-to-room as you visit each patient. You can access your cloud-based optometry office software for easy patient documentation throughout an exam. And, you'll save time accessing your system this way instead of logging in and out of desktops as you move around the office. What's even better is that you can take your tablet home with you and access your information from home as well, or anywhere with an Internet connection while you're on the go!
Using a tablet during a patient exam is going to help foster your relationship with your patients. You won't have to keep your back turned to them while you ask them questions so that you can enter their information into your practice management and EHR system, on a desktop computer. Tablets allow you to sit across from your patients, make eye contact, and build trust as you have a conversation with them to discuss their exam, medical history, symptoms, and test results.
Tablets also give you the flexibility to download outside apps that could help provide better overall healthcare for patients. There are hundreds of apps out there to help you in your office, and to help patients better manage and take control of their own healthcare from home. Here's just a few that we think are great tools to be utilizing in your practice, or to help educate your patients:
Some of these app features might already be covered by your practice management and EHR solution, so you might not even need to download extra applications. But if it doesn't, we think that these will be a great supplement!
Now that you know all of the benefits that tablets can have for you practice, check out Uprise, a cloud-based practice management system, to help mobilize your office!
There's something we can all relate to when it comes to government policies. We nag about why they keep changing when everything was going perfectly fine, and we find it difficult to implement the new policies and deadlines into our lives. Truth is, policies are always changing and updating in order for healthcare to become more efficient.
As you may know, the deadline for using optical software to implement Meaningful Use into your practice so that you avoid penalties in 2015 is coming up. Because you have to complete your 90 day reporting period of Stage 1 by the end of this year, it's easy to put things off when you don't realize the importance of the policy. So let's take a look at the differences and what you have to complete in order to attest for stages 1, 2, and 3 of Meaningful Use, and how each stage has, and will, contribute to the betterment of your practice.
To start participating in Meaningful Use, you begin with Stage 1. If you're planning on attesting to Stage 1 of Meaningful Use in 2014 there are a few deadlines you should know. You must begin your 90 days of Stage 1 Meaningful Use and have enough time to complete your reporting period before the end of the year to avoid payment penalites in 2015. And, after your 90 days don't forget that you'll still need to complete a full year of meeting Stage 1 requirements in 2015. Since you're starting Stage 1 of Meaningful Use in 2014 you'll need an EHR system that is 2014 certified.
If you're done with Stage 1 and you're starting Stage 2 of Meaningful Use in 2014, here is what you should know:
You must attest with a 2014 certified EHR system. EHR systems that have 2011 certification are no longer valid and need to re-certify. So there is a good chance that the system you were using to attest Stage 1 of Meaningful Use isn't going to be certified right away for you to start Stage 2. You'll either have to wait for your EHR vendor to get certified for 2014, or purchase a different certified system.
The deadline for Stage 3 of Meaningful Use has been pushed back and is now scheduled to begin in 2017, instead of the original scheduled year of 2016.
Hopefully this helped clear up any confusion with the three stages of Meaningful Use! Need help boosting your Meaningful Use and software technology knowledge? Check out our Practice Management & EHR Dictionary, it includes 40+ terms !
It's time for another Optical Vision Site post! We are always excited to share some of their fun ideas, and this month, they would like to show you some eyecare practice marketing tips, particularly, the importance of visual merchandising. They've got some great resources to share, and we hope to see more practices decorated with some of these fun eye themes!
Why Visual Merchandising is Important
Not all of us are great at the visual. We know what we like and are attracted to. We know individually we walk into stores because of the window displays. And, we probably all know that effective visual displays can increase eyewear sales from 10% to 15%. That is a hefty increase, which is why we have been pushing Visual Merchandising for the last several months.
That said, you don't have to be a brilliant visual merchandiser, which is why we have on our Pinterest Boards, several merchandising ideas for all type of spaces.
10 Resources for Eyewear Displays
We realize that many of you might have your reservations when it comes to keeping your data secure in the cloud. Especially when you hear about data breaches in the news, like the current Heartbleed situation.
In the past you might have been keeping your data safe in your office with a client-server solution, and you've been hiring out an IT consultant to help make sure that your system and data is as secure as possible. Well, what if your software vendor took care of that for you? That's what happens when you move your data to the cloud. Your vendor is responsible for the security and privacy of your data. So what is it exactly that makes cloud computing in optical more secure than keeping your data safe in your own practice?
Any vendor that offers services in the cloud, lives and dies by their level of security. So choosing a vendor that's been around for a while and has experience and stability is going to help ensure that your data is secure. Another thing to consider when choosing a vendor is knowing what their plan would be if something were to happen to your connection or data. They should have a service-level agreement and a plan in place in the event of an incident. Knowing that the vendor has a recovery plan in place is going to allow you some piece of mind.
The cloud is an abstract thought to a lot of people, and it can be hard to understand where your data is actually being stored. Well, your data isn't actually floating around in the air, it's still being stored on servers at a facility. These facilities offer top of the line enterprise level security standards. High-end security includes things like environmental controls, security guards, security cameras, back up power supply, and authorized access which are just a few examples of things that cloud vendors are able to provide when it comes to physical security of your data. If you were to offer these same levels of security, storing data in your office would be quite expensive.
There are also a number of ways that your data can be protected on top of the physical protection that a top of the line facility can provide. There are measures put in place that keep your data secure from cyber threats as well. Data encryption protects the integrity and availability of data that is stored in the cloud, and it ensures that all of your data will remain confidential even if it falls into the wrong hands. Especially in health care, it's important to seek out a vendor who provides a high level of encryption security.
While one of the biggest benefits of using cloud computing is that you can access your data from any device with an Internet connection, but this also raises the question about the security of access. This is something to discuss with your vendor. How is identity and access monitored? Who has access to your data? Who can make changes to your system and data?
Long story short, your data will be safe in the cloud, and likely more safe than you could keep it in your own office. Just be aware of some of these different points about security that you should make a point to talk about with your software vendor when moving your data to the cloud. Once your vendor explains all of the details and securities they have in place to manage your data you'll rest assured that your data is safe and sound.

Two weeks ago the VisionWeb team was out in NYC for Vision Expo East. We always enjoy the time out of the office to visit with current and future customers, along with our friends in the industry. We spent a lot of time talking to our booth visitors about Uprise, and what our cloud-based eyecare practice management software can do for their practice. We got a lot of great feedback, and we really value the face to face time we get with the people who make up the optical industry.
We know that not everyone can make it out to Vision Expo every year, so we wanted to share with you some of the pictures we took from the show in case you missed it. And if you are in the market for a new practice management and EHR software, don't forget to take a look at Uprise!
VisionWeb is also a proud sponsor of the Optical Women's Association (OWA). Each year at Vision Expo East the OWA holds the Pleiades Award Reception. The OWA is a great organization that is open to all women in the optical industry. If you're looking for a new way to get to know others in the industry - this is your chance! We took a few pictures at the event to show you just what you could be involved in!
If you missed us at Vision Expo, don't worry, you can still check out Uprise, our cloud-based practice management and EHR solution!
We have some information from Emdeon that we'd like to share with you regarding optometry insurance, changes to the new CMS 1500 form, and the ICD-10 delay. We know each of these topics can be confusing, especially lately, so we hope this will clear up a few of your questions.
There are two critical things you need to know about the new CMS 1500 form:
All the changes and deadlines can be confusing and hard to keep track of, but the most important things for you to understand are that we support the new form, but you don't need to switch to the new form right now, and anytime you make a change to how you send your claims you must work with us to change your account settings.
As of April 1st, any claims that are delivered to CMS by mail must utilize the new version of the CMS 1500 form.
If you submit all of your claims through VisionWeb, the April 1st deadline should have no impact on you. Any claim you submit though, regardless of what form you send it to us in, will be converted to a discrete, electronic format (ANSI X12 5010) before being submitted to the payer. Since the payer receives the claim in an electronic format, not a print image format, the print form utilized by you to create the claim originally is irrelevant. Note that even for the few payers where we don't have a direct connection for electronic submission, our process for printing and mailing claims to those payers will output your data on the new form. However, if you print a fraction of your claims directly from your practice management system and mail them yourself to a payer, then you will need to upgrade to the new form before submitting any additional claims by mail.
Possibly not. The most obvious change in the new form is that it will allow you to send a larger number of diagnosis codes and will support submission of the longer ICD-10 codes. However, if your practice management system will allow you to output ICD-10 codes on your existing print image form, we can configure your account to read ICD-10 codes on that old form, which will reduce the need for you to upgrade to the new form. There are a number of issues you should consider regarding ICD-10 and your practice management system. You might need to upgrade to a new practice management system that supports ICD-10.
Before you begin sending ICD-10 codes you must contact us to make a minor change on your account. We recommend that we coordinate this change to occur ahead of when you actually being sending ICD-10 codes. We provide the option for you to include information in your claims that states whether diagnosis codes are ICD-9s or ICD-10s. This is useful, but not critical, if we reconfigure your system for ICD-10 support in advance of the date on which you being sending ICD-10 codes. If you're not able to provide the code type, we will assume that the diagnosis codes you are sending are ICD-9. The more compelling need for inclusion of the code type information comes in the event that certain claims for service after the deadline fall within some type of yet-undefined exemption requiring use of ICD-9 codes. The code type qualifier provides support for handling any such exception, should the need arise.
If you have any questions regarding CMS 1500 or ICD-10 feel free to contact our insurance team at 800.590.0873800.590.0873, or email at email@example.com! And, if you want to get the latest optometry insurance information straight to your inbox, subscribe to the blog!
There is a lot to learn when it comes to Meaningful Use and optical software for your practice. And with all of the different information out there it can be hard to separate fantasy from fact. So we put together an eBook to help you sort through everything that has to do with Meaningful Use.
Because we know, that as an eyecare provider, you can't live in a fantasy world. And, when it comes to Meaningful Use you probably have a lot of unanswered questions. How do you avoid penalties? What kind of EHR do you need to participate? How much money can you earn in incentives? What steps are required to attest?

The word "cloud" is becoming part of everyone's daily vocabulary. Whether you know the true meaning of it or not, you know that the cloud is an important part of technology today.
The cloud is essentially the Internet. If you're used a cloud-based system in your office then you access your system by logging into a website via a web browser. You don't have to worry about the hassles of having an onsite server in your practice, or installing software on all of your computers. Your vendor hosts and manages your data for you. While those are just the basics, we've got a list of truths and April Fools to help you understand the cloud computing in optical even better!
April Fools. Although the cloud is more of a recent buzzword in optical, this type of technology has been around for a while, and is here to stay. While it takes a while for eyecare providers to adopt this type of technology as it requires change in workflow and is a big investment in purchasing a new system, more and more practices are adopting the cloud into their offices!
April Fools. Cloud-based and cloud-hosted practice management and EHR systems are two different things. With a true cloud-based system your software and data are both hosted and managed by the cloud vendor. You don't worry about maintaining servers in your office, installing software, or manual upgrades. And, you access your system from the Internet so you have the freedom to log into your system from any device with an Internet connection.
A cloud-hosted system is where your servers are hosted and managed offsite by your vendor, but your software is still manually installed on each computer in your office. The IT burden of managing and securing a server is taken off of your practice, but you still have to take care of installing and upgrading your software on your own.
True! While some people may worry about security in the cloud, it is actually often more secure than the security you can provide in your own office. It is likely that if you're managing your own server that you've hired an outside IT consultant to help make sure your system is managed safely. When your data is in the cloud, your vendor is managing it's security with enterprise level security that you wouldn't be able to provide in your own practice without paying a hefty price.
True! While you maybe be satisfied with your current way of doing things, cloud computing could help make your staff more efficient in the long run. Cloud-based systems give you the freedom to access the system from any device, including tablets. Carrying around a table throughout the exam could save you and your staff time from logging in and out of the system as you move from room-to-room. Many cloud-based systems were also built to decrease the amount of clicking it takes to get you to the information that you want. Less clicking leads to an increased workflow throughout the exam.
April Fools. While the costs of cloud-based systems vary across the board, there are many things to consider when thinking about the total cost of ownership of a system. Cloud-based systems come with a predictable monthly subscription-based pricing style. You don't have to worry about heavy upfront hardware costs, or costs of purchasing upgrades to the software down the road. Another thing to consider is the cost of other tools you will have to purchase and integrate with your system including E-Prescribing, patient education material, or coding and billing software. Some softwares come with these tools built right into the system!
Now that you've learned a thing or two about cloud computing in optical, check out Uprise our cloud-based practice management and EHR solution!
We all have an expertise we hold that's sensitive to change and judgement. For many eye care providers that expertise is patient care and practice management. And you've probably been doing things the same way in your practice for a long time. So maybe you think you don't need to brush up on the latest technologies because, why fix something that's not broken? Your practice is constantly busy, has a productive staff, and patients are ultimately getting their orders, no matter how long your staff gets put on hold by optical labs.
At the end of the day, you see no reason why your daily optical dispensing tasks need to be changed. After all, a successful business is one that constantly brings in clients, right? You may think that your way may be the "best" way, but it's time to open up your mind and consider how your practice can be even better than the best!
The "Drop Shipping" feature allows you to expidite order processing on jobs requiring frames that your practice doesn't currently have in stock. Follow these steps to have your frames "drop shipped":
1. Log in to your VisionWeb account
2. Go to the My Accounts section
3. Set up your lab account as "Dropship Accounts"
4. Select the frames that you wish to order from VisionWeb's frames engine
5. Select the lab where you would like the frames sent to in the "Dropship Location" field
Follow these 5 simple steps and your frames will ship directly to your lab to accompany our VisionWeb "frame to come" spectacle lens job!
With our "Tracking Orders" feature, you no longer have to waste time on the phone with labs trying to figure our the status of an order. Tracking your orders is an easy process and is available to you 24/7. Having the ability to check on your orders from one location at any time lets you see the most updated information to communicate to your patients anytime they request.
Think about the most common RX lens prescriptions. Wouldn't it be nice to have quick access to them? With the "Favorite Order Template" you can create a "favorite order" in your pending orders. This feature allows you to reuse the same template as many times as needed. Not only will this save you time entering the same information for each individual patient, but it will also decrease the likelihood of making mistakes.
Getting sidetracked during a busy day at the office is a common, as patients come in and out all day. When you are entering a patient's order into your VisionWeb account and a patient comes in that you have to tend to, you might immediately close out of the order that you're working on. But what if we told you that you no longer have to re-enter information due to an incoming patient?
Entering information twice because of an interruption is history. By saving an order as "pending," you are able to start an order, save it, and then come back to it later for edits. Then, once you're ready, you can send it off to the lab without having to re-enter any information. This allows you to greet patients as soon as they walk in the door instead of leaving them hanging while you finish up an order.
Check out the video tutorial!
With our Frames Data Assist Tool, you no longer have to manually enter a frame or frame measurements. All VisionWeb users have the ability to search the Frames Data catalog, select a frame, and the frame measurements will automatically populate. If you are a subscriber, you can link your account with VisionWeb to view wholesale pricing and a color image of the frame.
See the video tutorial!
VisionWeb gives you the ability to connect with over 400 spectacle lens, contact lens, and frame suppliers giving us the most supplier connections in the eyecare industry! Through VisionWeb, you can connect with all of these suppliers in one convenient location. You can also access all of your own suppliers in one place, which will increase efficiency and reduce your turnaround time. Adding a new supplier to your VisionWeb account is super easy! So say goodbye to visiting multiple sites to place all your product orders!
View the tutorial for adding a new supplier!
So now you know the benefits of utilizing the various features on VisionWeb, but wouldn't it be great if you could access all of your information on the go? Well not you can! By downloading the VisionWeb Mobile App, you will be able to review your pending and archived orders, check the status of orders being processed at the lab, and more! So no matter where you are, you will always have access to your orders.

King James Version (KJV)
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Bryce Harper returns to Nationals; A-Rod will begin rehab stint
July isn't even 24 hours old, and already we have word on two much-anticipated comebacks from a players capable of providing jolts to the flagging offenses of contending teams — though the similarities probably end there. On Monday night, Bryce Harper will return to the Nationals' lineup, while on Tuesday, Alex Rodriguez will begin his rehab stint with the Yankees' A-ball Charleston affiliate.
Given its immediacy, Harper's return is the one likely to have the more impact. The 20-year-old phenom was putting up MVP-caliber numbers (.302/.383/.629 with 10 homers through May 9) when he first sat due to bursitis in his left knee. A frightening collision with the Dodger Stadium rightfield wall on May 13 triggered concussion concerns and left him with enough bumps and bruises — including 11 stitches in his chin — to limit him to 10 starts and one pinch-hitting appearances in a 16-game span before heading to the disabled list.
In the immediate wake of Harper's collision, many a call was heard for him to dial back his intensity level in the name of long-term self-preservation, with some invoking comparisons to 1940s Dodger phenom Pete Reiser, whose willingess to crash into walls turned him into a shell of his former self by his late 20s. Harper himself sounded like a defiant 20-year-old at the time, saying via Twitter, "I will keep playing this game hard for the rest of my life even if it kills me! Ill never stop!" which sounds pretty chilling considering that Reiser was once read last rites after colliding with an Ebbets Field wall.
With the knee problem persisting and Harper spending more time on the sidelines — and doctors' waiting rooms — than on the field, he may have softened his stance somewhat. On June 10, he received injections of cortisone and platelet-rich plasma from Dr. James Andrews, who assured him that he had no structural damage. Since then, the slugger made waves when he suggested a more drawn-out rehab schedule than the one Washington manager Davey Johnson had in mind; Johnson said he believed Harper could begin a rehab stint on June 25 and need just two or three games to get his swing back, but Harper felt he might not be ready for a couple more days and could need as many as six games to regain his timing.
Though not rising to the level of Brian Cashman-versus-Rodriguez, Harper received a public rebuke from Johnson — "When a player starts playing, it's really up to me, what I think they need. Not up to the player," he told reporters — but in the end he returned to action on June 25. In two games with High-A Potomac and two with Double-A Harrisburg, he went 4-for-11 with a double, a triple, a homer and three walks.
The Nationals have won seven of their last 11 games, but even so, they're just 41-40, 6 1/2 games out of first place in the NL East and 5 1/2 back in the wild-card race. Their 3.64 runs per game ranks 13th in the league, and if you take away Harper's overall performance (.287/.386/.587 line with 12 homers in 178 PA), the team is hitting just .233/.288/.371. The recall of Anthony Rendon and the return to action of Jayson Werth helped boost the offense's meager output to 3.92 runs per game in June, but nothing about the .244/.299/.397 line via which they compiled during that month is acceptable from a contender. Harper's return won't fix all that ails them, but his return should boost the heavy preseason favorites' chances of reaching the postseason considerably.
As for Rodriguez, the start of this week's rehab assignment — which will begin with Charleston and likely include stops with the team's Tampa, Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre affiliates as weather and/or travel dictate — is merely the coda to last week's drama. On June 25, Rodriguez or more likely his publicist announced via Twitter that Dr. Bryan Kelly, who performed the surgery and has overseen his recovery, had given him "the green light to play games again!" Cashman begged to differ in obscene fashion, setting off poorly-sourced, ill-considered conspiracy theories regarding retirement, PED suspensions and insurance scams that I tried to dissect here.
Given that he hasn't played in anything beyond a simulated game since undergoing surgery to repair a torn left hip labrum back in January, Rodriguez's rehab stint won't be a quick one, but the Yankees' move sets the clock ticking. MLB rules allow for a maximum stint of 20 days for non-pitchers, and with the All-Star break blacking out July 15-18 anyway, the question comes down to whether or not he'll be back in time for New York's July 19-21 series at Fenway Park.
CORCORAN: Yankees-Red Sox and more must-attend games of July
The Yankee offense is scuffling along at 3.83 runs per game (12th in the league), and their third basemen have combined to hit .231/.293/.315. With five straight losses including a weekend sweep by the Orioles, they've fallen to 42-39, fourth in the AL East, 6 1/2 behind the Red Sox and four back in the wild-card race. Even as Rodriguez nears his 38th birthday and is no longer an MVP-caliber player, the Yankees need him every bit as badly as the Nationals need Harper.
