In recent years Celtic Tattoos have enjoyed a revival and are now worn by many of the worlds most
prominent artists. This Celtic art form provides the individual with a wide array of mystical designs, both
personal and traditional.
Tattoos can be permanent or temporary providing that special lifelong inspiration or the temporary
expression of love or meaning. But how does the Celtic culture relate to Tattoos you ask?
The Celtic culture is very ancient. It has been recently discovered that the Celtic culture
dates back over 28,000 years. However, even today it is still a living force in the modern
world, through its art, music, writing, and it's spirituality. Why?
Because the civilization of the Celts has continued without break over the centuries. This
unbroken tradition makes a Celtic Tattoo ever more relevant in the modern world.
A Little Background
It has been said that the Celts transmitted their culture orally, never writing down their
history or any facts. Although this may be true in the last few hundred years no one knows, for sure, since
the Church had so many documents, manuscripts, scrolls and books destroyed during the Dark Ages. Since the
early Church associated Celts with paganism and witchcraft it can be surmised that they alone destroyed any
written documentation that may have been discovered up until then.
Nevertheless, this accounts for the extreme lack of knowledge about the Celtic
culture prior to their contact with the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. But by that time the
Celtics had already been around for centuries.
They were generally well educated, particularly on topics such as religion, philosophy,
geography and astronomy. The history of the Celtic peoples goes back some tens of thousands of years. At one
time all of Europe was Celtic. England was ruled entirely by the Celts. Eventually the Romans, Angles and
Saxons came and pushed the Celts to the north and to the west.
One of the great Celtic events of history was the Fifth - Century battle between King Arthur
and his Celtic army against the dark pagan hordes in England (as the Celts termed the non-Celtic
The Celts considered King Arthur's loss to be the death of civilization. King Arthur himself
remains an important figure within Celtic legend. The original historic story is now much embroidered with
medieval knights and traditions.
The ancient Celtic Art was full of interlacing patterns, ideal for translation into tattoo
designs. These included elaborate knot work, spirals, animal forms and animal zoomorphism along with a wide
array of vibrant colours.
The early Celts displayed their art for example on metal, jewellery, their weapons, figurines
and pots. These are just some of the many artifacts that have come to light.
Knot work tradition in manuscript painting spread the style from Britain and Ireland to
Scotland (Pictland and Dalriada), Wales and Northumbria. With the travels of the missionaries from the Celtic
church it spread to Europe.
Years later the Viking raiders appropriated many of the Celtic design concepts into their own
personalized and more complex style of animal interlace. This help spread the Celtic symbols and tattoo's to
the Scandinavian countries. From there it spread throughout Europe.
Modern Celtic peoples have evolved traditional symbols for themselves. People of Celtic
descent all over the world often proudly wear these symbols as tattoos and in many other ways to show that
they are of Celtic descent. Even many of non-Celtic blood lines now proudly wear Celtic designs in their
personal tattoos.
For example - the most common Irish symbol is the three - leaved shamrock, although the Harp
is often used as well. The harp has been the national instrument for all the Celtic people since the dawn of
their history.
The Scottish symbol is the Thistle, along with the wearing of tartans and or the kilt. The
Welsh flag is a red dragon on a green and white background. The Welsh Celtic people consider the red dragon
their most Welsh symbol, but along with the dragon they recognize the leek and the daffodil.

CYA Intel: Mustang Forums' 2013 Valentine's Day Gift Guide
While Valentine's Day can be traced to the late 1700s, the holiday has been observed--under various names--for virtually all of recorded history. To insure our readers in relationships stay happy, healthy and relatively sane, the 6Speed editors asked some of the lovely ladies in the office for gift suggestions. Ignore them at your peril.
You and Me--the curving lines of this solid promise hung on the wall tells your sweetie that you're thinking of her, even when you're out roasting the wheels off your ride as you pound around the famous curves of Mulholland Drive.
While the wisdom of claiming your significant other's ass as your property might be questionable--and could result in a puncture wound--custom underwear can make a great gift. Use an inside joke, a special moment, or an unforgettable experience as your inspiration, and you're probably in the clear. But call 911 if you lose too much blood.
Most likely, you've had plenty of late nights and early mornings with your lady. With BoldLoft's "Boy Meets Girl" series, your valentine will have a little reminder of you every time she makes her morning cup of coffee or pours herself a gin and tonic. Whether you're together or apart, these mugs or glasses will keep you two connected.
Sunglasses are like shoes--she can never have too many--so they make a great gift. You also don't have to worry about picking the right size, and since they're 99% about aesthetics, you just have to find a pair that looks cool and not cheap out. These Dreamer Shades from Nasty Gal look awesome, and they aren't cheap--so your bases are covered.
She's watched an awful lot of SpeedTV with you. That means she's probably missed on some quality trash. The first season of this romp will let you both indulge your soapy side, while proving that "Revenge" is best served with great clothes, ridiculous love triangles and biting quips.
Vintage posters printed on canvas add a touch of class to any auto-loving house. This Mercedes advertisement highlights the enduring quality of the marque while still being pure art. The images are aspirational--she can dream of the destination while you dream of the journey.
Commemorate a great trip, or an important place in your lives with these lovely customizable map necklaces. Celebrate the place you spent your first date, your first anniversary, your first ride in that classic roadster with geographic flair in pendant form.
M&Ms are one of Mother Nature's most perfect foods. In addition to being delicious, they're loaded with antioxidants and rich in essential nutrients. Also? They melt in your mouth--not in your hand. Actually, last part aside, we made all of that up. But you can get a custom message printed on them! Try that with a banana.
If you're not going to gift her with her own classic coupe, let her celebrate her love of cars her own way--with a sleek, retro dress from ModCloth.com, printed all over with hot rods. She'll turn heads, and you'll both need to make a fast getaway.
Chunky, diving-inspired watches have been in vogue with stylish ladies for quite some time now, and this elegant, sophisticated rose gold timepiece is a more feminine take on that utilitarian classic. That said, doesn't Vince Camuto sound like a guy who should be schlepping dime bags in the parking lot of a New Jersey high school?
Nope. These don't look very comfortable. But that's not really the point of ladies footwear--especially when the price will buy a decent house in most of the country. These insanely expensive heels are the perfect option for a billionaire, basketball player or rap star that has to make an apology. Everyone else should probably keep browsing.
Andy Warhol said that in the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes. Well, it's the future, and his prediction was pretty accurate. The pop icon just didn't realize getting famous would involved getting kicked in the balls on Youtube. Because he didn't know about Youtube--but he'd love these custom prints. And so will your lady.
Put this luxurious backpack picnic ensemble in the trunk. Drive her to a scenic spot, and hike to higher ground. It has everything you want to make eating on the ground as fun as it is romantic--wine holder, plaid blanket, cutting board, and real glassware. And if it's snowing, hike the picnic up your stairs and spread out in front of your HD-TV and watch some Food Network with a good bottle of Mourvedre.

With only 4 more days to go I bring you day 16 of the daily prompt June is nearly over. :) Aren't you all glad. I sure am.
Sleepy time - More and more of us go to bed too late because of sleep procrastination. What are the nighttime rituals that keep you up before finally dozing off?
Firstly I try to go bed one hour no later than what the toddler went to bed. I need that one hour to my self in an evening. I try to do all my house hold chores throughout the day so that, that one hour in the evening I can do as I please.
I normally drink a cup of tea, eat some chocolate, take a shower and browse the web (Facebook, E-mails, WordPress and editing photo's)
And once I'm in bed I'll do more browse of Facebook and then clock out for the night.. LOL I sit here saying the night I mean three hours if I'm lucky Vinnie will wake me up around 3 hours after I've gotten in to bed so I'll sit and catch up on Instagram, Facebook and e-mails again one eye open Lol, I'll sleep for another 2 hours before getting up for the day.
I guess this just shows social media is taking over my life. I'll be glad to clock out once I'm on holiday in two weeks time.

What's a dental dam?
- Maria*
A dental dam is a smallish, square piece of latex that is used as a barrier during oral sex to help prevent the spread of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).
Dental dams get their name from their original purpose: They are used by dentists during dental procedures to block off the area being worked on.
The latex material most dental dams are made of helps protect against infection because it blocks body fluids. That's why people started using dental dams as a way to practice safe oral sex. For people with latex allergies, non-latex versions are available as well.
You can buy dental dams at some drugstores as well as clinics like Planned Parenthood.

Council votes to give fired police chief medical benefits
The Wayland City Council Monday night unanimously approved medical benefits up to age 65 for fired Police Chief Dan Miller, but refused to say why.
When asked why, City Manager Mike Selden, acting on the advice of Curt McCamm of Kalamazoo, the city's attorney, said, "It would be inappropriate to comment."
McCamm then suggested this reporter research the law in order to obtain the necessary information.
The move comes as Selden still has not made a decision on a request to reinstate Miller after he was fired April 20 by then-interim City Manager Terry Hofmeyer for violations of city policies, procedures and codes of conduct. The firing occurred even after Miller had been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by an investigation by Michigan State Police.
Selden, who just started as city manager April 23, has been asked by citizens to reinstate Miller and he and the former chief have met privately. However, Selden still has not announced a decision and Eric Marshall, police chief of the Village of Paw Paw, has been acting chief in Wayland for a couple of days a week.
City Council chambers were packed once again Monday night with about 35 people supporting the discharged chief. Some accused the council and city manager of committing the same transgressions that got Miller fired.
Tracy Bivins asked Selden about the recent hiring of Jason Beckwith as a full-time officer, even though the position was not properly posted. Selden said he followed the recommendations of the other three full-time officers to replace Jim Rollins, who retired last December.
Sarah Holcomb then told Selden proper internal hiring procedure wasn't followed, which was the same reason given for Miller's dismissal.
Lisa Harnish noted that 18 of the 32 charges against Miller of not following city policies revolved around a set of golf clubs and rebutted all of them, saying the clubs lay around the station for nine years and were not used.
She also was critical of the contention that Miller improperly served a personal protection order on Phillip Convissor, who was the ex-husband of his current girfriend.
Chris Taylor maintained, "If the judge says 'serve it,' you serve it, it's the law."
Harnish said the order was served within the city limits, not outside the city limits, as was suggested earlier, and she said the mayor could be regarded as guilty of interfering with a sworn police officer in the discharge of his duties.
She told the council, "This one is on you for not providing proper information to the citizens."
Bivins asked city officials to change the city charter in the future so that the police chief's hiring and firing be done not by just one man, the city manager, but with vote and consent of the city council.
Showdown At High Noon
I think the two love birds bashing each other on here should have an old fashion, old west, small town showdown right in the center of town. Say, high noon on Saturday. That would give us some good ole entertainment here in Wayland, besides the Casino. Let's get ready to rumble.
I'm for it
It's good someone can still find some humor in this. But seriously...I'm for it.
whats up with my cooments not being added
I'm curious why you're not adding my comments for your readers, I've made copies of all I've tried to add, in case this is some sort of mistake.
I hope you're not one of the people posting as "anonymous," but by your not putting my comments on, makes me wonder
The debate on this issue has reached a personal level in which personal insults are being exchanged. I see no purpose in allowing this to continue.
Those who wish to confine their comments to the issues at hand are welcome. But personal attacks will no longer be tolerated.
— The Editor
Blatantly obvious
Hey, Mr. anonymous/editor, didn't I tell you I made copies of what I posted?
It's obvious you're biased.
Are you accusing me of getting personal? I sure hope not. Because I've only responded to their or your obscene remarks. Nothing personal about it though. At least, not on my part of what I put on, unless you're editing it.
I'm seeing a lot of crap on this page that's hitting me personally, and your not deleting their or your stuff.
Just an observation.
Health Insurace as a Kind Gesture !!??
The right thing to do would be to give Chief Miller his job back. The city is just trying to get him to agree to not sue them for their own incompetence, with Mr. Hofmeyer's assistance, by offering this trinket of insurance. I hope he sues and wins big - money and insurance.
Maybe instead of expanding the department, buying more vehicles, etc., the right thing to do for police protection would be outsourcing to the Allegan County Sheriff's Dept., like other towns in the county do. The county has a good police presence in Wayland now. I see more people being pulled over by the county than Wayland officers, especially the last few months.
I hope the city manager, mayor and City Council have their alibis on what happened, who talked to who and when, because when this goes to court, a lot of backroom dealings will come to light. I'm sure the subpenas will be forthcoming soon. Mr. Hofmeyer thought he was done with Wayland - he better hold off vacation plans for courtroom time!
All Dan wants is his job. Now that is gone. Good luck, Dan, in getting a good and just settlement.
Health insurance as final kind gesture
I have to reiterate this as I feel it needs to be addressed till the "Dog Dies." I believe the City of Wayland gave miller the insurance till he is 65 for his ongoing health issues.
Not as the few left would like us all to believe.
Some of them, if not all, are trying to make people believe that the city is doing it out of guilt or because of some wrong doing they committed.
I believe the city is being generous, and doing it because they do have a heart (unlike some people). The city, as well as everybody else, knows about Miller's health issues and it was the ethical thing to do. Give him health insurance until he normally would have retired.
Its that simple, no cover up, no admission to any wrong doing. Just a plain American way of doing what's right.
Apparently the city has told you how to respond for them. Good boy. ;-)
Kind Gesture by Phil Convissor.
Blah, blah, blah.
Seems that Mr. Convissor likes to hear himself talk. Talk to the hand Phil because no ones listening. Go back to the Mickey Mouse Club where you belong.
Have a great evening.
Danny Boy
I beg to differ
Nice to see even you are admitting you're "nobody," Danny boy. You did say, "Nobody's" listening. We all make mistakes though. Some people, like the new cm admit it. Some people like you don't. Have a wonderful night.
Sounds Personal....
Blah, blah, blah.
Not afraid to sign my name.
Dan Miller
Hows this, no name?
Could it be this simple, could it be the city kinda felt sorry for him, he did have cancer, did he not? It's only humanly right to carry him with insurance until he normally would have retired.
I guess you'd have to have a heart to figure that one out.
Since when?
Afraid to show up yourself at council meetings though. By the way, nothing is pending in Allegan County any more. Yet.
City of Wayland (COW! - I like that) Admission of Guilt
Fired Chief Miller now has been offered insurance until 65 - why? Is the city trying to settle before being sued? Dan, sue them for everything you can get and then some. Sure, it will come out of tax money, but they will blow it whether you get a settlement or not.
Look at the perfectly good downtown lighting that was torn out and the existing trees being replaced. Why? To have substandard lighting to match those abberations called lighting on West Superior? If the payback costs were so good, why weren't they presented when asked? Evidently, someone wanted the lighting replaced, no matter what, to hell with the costs.
To get maples planted instead of keeping the existing locust trees - really? Maples - who selected those canopy wide trees to replace the locust trees - what an idiotic selection. Maples will canopy out more than the existing locust trees and rub buildings and need more attention and trimming. I know why, "we got a grant" - duh - that's another word for spending tax money, whether it is local, county or state - it's still tax money - money this state doesn't have - Michigan is running a yearly deficit/overall debt.
The majority of DDA money doesn't come from downtown - most is derived from those businesses to the west and elsewhere in the city. What is the DDA plan for those areas? Nothing. There is not much downtown like it was when I and others from Wayland were kids. In the 1950s and '60s we had three grocery stores (A&P, IGA, Hardings), a meat market (Lutostanski's), many gas stations (seven I can quickly remember), a few clothing stores, two hardware stores, a theater (a really nice one), a baby clothing store, and many other businesses. It was a small, thriving town. Now downtown could have a cannon shot at any time of the day down Main or Superior streets and not hit much.
Mr. Selden, Mayor Bala, and the City Council - you will be watched and challenged every step of the way from now on. You need to read the city charter, as last night exposed, you violated the city charter as the council and Mr. Hofmeyer accused Chief Miller of violating. Don't hide behind the cloak of "Mr. Hofmeyer had the only responsibility to hire and fire" - that's a crock and you know it. The Mayor and Council had plenty to say to support Mr. Hofmeyer's decision, otherwise Mr. Hofmeyer wouldn't have acted as he did. You were Mr. Hofmeyer's combined supervisors. If you don't want the job, please do the right thing and resign.
Mr. Selden, please heed this warning — the people who employed you do not have your best interests at heart. They think they can manipulate a young man such as yourself. Be careful if you don't believe me - be your own man and act accordingly to a code of what is right and just for the city, not what the mayor and a few council members feel they want you to do.
As soon as you feel pressure, ask yourself why. Get out on the streets and in the businesses to introduce yourself and ask/answer questions. Engage the public - be open and enjoy those conversations. Sure, there will be some confrontational folks out there, the the vast majority want to you succeed. I want you to succeed. Please be your own man and manage in the best interests of all in the City of Wayland.
So, am I completely wrong to think that the City of Wayland (COW) even offering anything is an admission of wrongdoing on their part, and guilt? It's inappropriate to comment says COW attorney, yet we'll tell you that we agree to give chief insurance? And why is it that you can't discuss Yonkers terms of dismissal but you have no problem discussing chiefs? And why would these benefits be for just one? He's always had family coverage at no additional expense to the city. What if he wants to insure his daughter or get married? They don't get coverage?
Now I would think it's illegal to tell someone they can't cover a family member? Please, prove me wrong. I'll be happy to apologize for jumping to conclusions if you can.
New CM Seldom (intentional misspelling) admits to violating city policy? Did anyone question this with the council that needs o hold him accountable? Or was Mayor Bala and the other council members too busy trying to come up with plan B regarding their own violations of COW policy and procedure that they missed that part?
Citizens of Wayland — The truth is starting to come out. I hope you do not stop. Violations of city charter are serious matters. Those hired by appointed or elected officials while in violation of city charter is null and void. Don't get too comfy, newcomers. You who are violating should expect to be held to the same limits of the law as you have tried to hold Chief Miller. Difference is - he never once had to lie or scheme to get his job. You did! The truth always comes out.
Mayor Bala, City Council, and City Manager, Finance Director - mark my words, the truth will prevail, the walls are closing in, and you cannot mask your injustices any more. Contrary to your belief, you are not dealing with a bunch of "locals" or "good ole boys." You are dealing with all walks of lifes, backgrounds and life experiences. Combined WE are the City of Wayland. And we far outnumber you when it comes to intelligence and experience.
sounds personal
Sounds like someone is taking this "personally." So now it's OK to make it personal.
Your attacks and turning this around on the COW as you put it, (I can only guess where you got that abreviation from) is just your way of leading "your puppets" to cover up the unjust your "Danny Boy" has inflicted on my children and me.
Bottom line is, he was not told by the judge to serve that PPO himself, or have the City of Wayland, or COW, as you put it, serve it. On the very contrary, and to paraphrase again, your Danny Boy was told by his boss, or bosses as you would like to think, to stay out of and keep the city out of anything that could remotely be considered personal.
Your Danny Boy agreed to these terms at first, then he decided to backpeddle with total disregard to a direct order, and do something he agreed not to do. He did something and thus got the city involved in something that could be "perceived" as personal.
And to finish,again, your Danny boy was not told by the judge to make sure that PPO gets served.
Mr. Convissor,
Do you think we don't it's you behind these words just because you don't sign your name?
This is NOT about you. Nobody would even know your name had you not introduced yourself to the community.
It's obvious that you are jealous and want to place blame on someone else for your problems. Since the COW apparently likes listening to you, maybe you could voice your thoughts to them. Or are you feeling a little neglected and need the attention?
Whos hiding, or trying to hide?
I know who I am, do you know who you are? I was not trying to hide, and I've made that blatently obvious in the 100's of posts I've made in a "Drama" you guys are trying to sustain, for what? A spineles used to be who can't even show up to council to defend himself, or his rights he says were violated.
He can't even admit he did me and my kids wrong by... oh ya that's all Blah, Blah, Blah. As he states, or is that "Shey" states, Sorry.
And that's my word, please don't copy, think of your own words to say.
Mr. Convissor
It's called cyber stalking. I'm sick and tired of your temper tantrums. You obviously don't know self control or how to stop unwanted behaviors. Is this the reason for the PPO? Please don't worry about responding. We all know you'll place blame and carry on as to try and distract from the real issues. How about you worry about your own issues and leave the important stuff to us?
Ok, we'll try this one again
Who's stalking who?
Who's not listening?
Who's putting the blame on others?
Like I said before, all's you or he has to do, is look in the mirror
Grow up
It is very funny to listen to you talk about Dan blaming others. Isn't that what you are doing? I think that you should take a long look at your history and realize that you had issues long before Dan started dating your ex. And it is pretty funny that you say that they are the ones with the problem, not you. I am pretty sure they talk about things other than you on their fb page, but they are all you seem to be able to talk about.
Pay Insurance.....
Now why would they do this if he was fired? Admission of one thing?

AMES, Iowa (AP) - Case McCoy scored on a 1-yard plunge with 51 seconds left and Texas rallied to beat Iowa State 31-30 on Thursday night.
McCoy threw for 244 yards for the Longhorns, (3-2, 2-0), who will head into next week's game against Oklahoma with at least a share of first place in the Big 12.
McCoy led Texas on the winning 75-yard drive in just under 3 minutes. It was aided by two pass-interference penalties and two near fumbles at the 1 by Johnathan Gray.
Sam Richardson had 262 yards passing and Aaron Wimberly had 117 yards rushing and a touchdown for Iowa State (1-3, 0-1). The Cyclones dropped their 11th straight Big 12 opener - but none as heartbreaking as this one.

A Diabetic rant - page 4
Hey guys. I've been a type 1 diabetic for fifteen years now and I'm set to graduate the program in May 2013 -- I clarify that because I don't want anyone to think I'm already working or think that I'm trying to be a... Read More
- 0Jul 4, '12 by applewhiternIn my hospital, most of the nurses are well aware of how Lantus works. (The newer nurses not so much~ but they are learning.) That being said, our protocol is that we must call the doctor for any glucose level below 60, then it is up to the doctor to say "hold the lantus," or "give a reduced dose." We don't hold it unless the doctor tells us to, because that is against the rules of our practise. We have a large poplulation of non-compliant diabetics, and many times it becomes "trial and error" for us, just to get their glucose levels regulated.
- 0Jul 4, '12 by mmc51264I got in SO many discussions with instructors about D. I have a son T1 (dx @ 2; 6 years ago) I am T2; dx 2 years ago, I had Gest. D while pregnant with both children. I, too, am amazed at how little is taught/known in general med profession. My 8 year old knows more about treating his D than most. I had a pt in clinical (I am a new grad) that hx had her T1 on one sheet, T2 on another???????? (uncontrolled either way) When I would ask questions in clinical, no one could answer them. I have strict instructions on my son's medical ID bracelet as to his care if he needs emergency care and I am not there.
I just started at a LTC/Rehab and there are several pt that are on FSBS 2x/week with SS (how in the heck does that make sense in ANY world).
I am seriously thinking of eventually becoming a CDE for hosp staff/nursing. It is truly amazing the lack of knowledge. I always asked when presented with a scenario/question in school when the situation said "pt is diabetic" whether it was T1 or T2 and was ALWAYS told-it didn't matter. Being a T2, my treatment would be VERY different that my T1 son. OY!
- 0Jul 4, '12 by beckster_01It is my hospital's policy that anyone who has an insulin pump is automatically referred to the endocrine service, which has an endocrine NP who takes a look at the pump and provides staff education as needed. If the patient is alert and oriented they stay on the pump, if not then they make a decision on what kind of glucose control is most appropriate (SS, insulin gtt, etc.).
Glucose control for long-time diabetics is often pretty complicated in the hospital (at least where I work). Obviously the patient is sick and under increased stress, their eating habits change, their activity levels change. All of these factors will affect the patient's sugar, and what works at home may not work here. However I am in agreement that the patient needs to be as involved in the management of their blood sugars as possible. After all, who is going to be doing it after discharge?
- 0Jul 6, '12 by delphine22, RNWhen my husband, who is type 1 brittle, is hospitalized, I'm right there with him at his bedside 24/7 with his meter and his Apidra. I tell the nurse right up front what I'm giving him and when, as a courtesy -- I want her to know what he has on board while he's in her care -- but we do not leave his treatment to the floor nurses under any circumstances. Not to mention they are only allowed to give sliding scale ACHS, when I can give it to him whenever he wants/needs it! I've received very little resistance from it; just a few sour looks sometimes (this was when I was a student nurse -- now that I'm an RN we haven't had this problem much but we shall see).
- 0Jul 9, '12 by classicdame Guidethis is frustrating to me as well. Some people think all insulin is alike. It speaks to how we need to constantly be educating ourselves on medications.
- 1Jul 9, '12 by suannaI am obviously one of the ignorant, but, a blood sugar of 500 will throw you out of sorts for a day or two-even if it is corrected quickly, but a glucose of 20-30 can throw you into the morgue- for a lot longe than a day or two. I know Lantus is long acting basilar insulin, but if the dose is so far out of the needed range for the patients needs, it seems like adjusting the dose at 56 would be in order. It would depend on if the patient was depending on short acting insulins to cover meals or if the lantus was the only source of this dangerously low glucose. Were they NPO for the day? Are they NPO for something tomorow? Lantus meets your insulin needs based on a pre-determined caloric intake and energy demands. If thise have chaanged- why shouldn't the dose if Lantus change? Snacks sound like a great idea, but sugar/juice is often the only option at hs in the hospital. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten into my own lunch to provide something other than simple carbs/sugar for my patients hypoglycemia snack. Giving a short burst of sugar dosen't fix the problem, but just moves the hypoglycemic crisis to 3am when it is difficult to assess the patients status. Hypoglycemic coma or sleeping quietly?- I have to wake them up and/or check thier sugar to know. I am fine with giving Lantus to a patient with a low sugar if I have come protien/fat/complex carb to give that Lantus something to work on. What I'm seeing is the dose of Lantus has already proven itself to be excessive in reducing the patients blood glucose. Why not make the adjustment in the dose when this is discovered rather than try to play catch up with hypoglycemia when you could be 10 hours from the next meal. I'm willing to admit it if I'm wrong, but I rather err on the side of hyperglycemic but "not dead" if there is a question.
- 0Jul 9, '12 by Sun0408I keep seeing phrases like the nurse's tx, or the nurse's sliding scale or the nurse decided to give X amount.. I'm sorry but we don't write the orders or the sliding scales. The PCP does that, we just follow it, watch the pts trends and hope the PCP will listen to us when the coverage is not enough or too much.
- 1Jul 10, '12 by CDEWannaBeSun0408 is correct.
As a long time type 1, I'm always amazed at how little MDs know about diabetes and the medications that treat it. When I was in the hospital delivering my son I was surprised that the MDs and nurses acted like I was clueless about dosing my own insulin and disregarded my recommendations. This was after 30 years of successfully managing my diabetes and having an extremely health pregnancy (with a 5.1 hemoglobin A1c).
With diabetes knowledge is power. This lack of knowledge is killing diabetics and causing DM complications. And best of all, healthcare providers then blame the patients for non-compliance.
- 0Jul 14, '12 by canoeheadQuote from delphine22I think this is a great way to manage. I hate trusting patients that are sick and possibly groggy to make judgement calls on insulin, but hospital management is not as personalized and effective as what people work out at home. If you were in hospital I'd have to write notes about noncompliance and educating re plan of care, but I'd be cheering on the inside.When my husband, who is type 1 brittle, is hospitalized, I'm right there with him at his bedside 24/7 with his meter and his Apidra. I tell the nurse right up front what I'm giving him and when, as a courtesy -- I want her to know what he has on board while he's in her care -- but we do not leave his treatment to the floor nurses under any circumstances.

Model #ATF6700FS0, this customer called because her washer was acting strangely and making some unusual noises. The primary issue seemed to be the washer would not spin the clothes at the end of the wash cycle. But occasionally, the customer also noticed water would remain in the tub along with the damp clothes. She was concerned with having two problems on wash just over a year old, but if you have been reading any of my front load washers posts, you probably already guessed that both of these symptoms have something in common.
While it is possible for an appliance to suffer from two distinct failures at the same time, the likely hood isn't as high as one might think. Many times the failures will appear to be different, but in actuality they stem from one common source. To the customer water remaining in the tub is a likely symptom of a washer not spinning correctly, but to a technician the opposite is the reason. The washer will not spin because there is water remaining in the tub.
Washers use some form of sensor to determine water level in the wash tub. This can be a simple pressure switch or a more accurate pressure transducer. Either way, the purpose of these devices is to not only know how full to fill the tub, but to also know when the tub is empty of water. This prevents the washer from attempting to spin a full basket full of water soaked clothes and possibly cause some mechanical failure.
One front load washers in particular, if any water remains in the tub, the washer will not spin. This is more than a safety device, but also a bit of common sense. If the water cannot drain, then there would be no place for the water to flow once it spun free of the clothes. So if you find your front load washer not spinning at the end of the cycle, start by taking a look at the drain pump.
Some washers make this task easy, while other require removal of one or more panels to gain access. This particular washer can be accessed from under the unit, assuming it's not on a pedestal, but removing the front panel makes everything easier to get to.
Using a wet/dry vacuum to remove the remaining water, I then pulled off the front panel to get to the pump assembly. The pump is connected to the tub by a sump hose and then to the drain home itself. With the hoses removed I was able to find the reason for the poor draining and the reason it is important to empty your pockets before washing your clothes.
Inside the sump hose is a trap cup which has been designed to prevent objects from coming in contact with the pump impeller. This cup can take many of those coins, bobby pins, toothpicks and whatnot and still allow water to drain. But in this case, all those items and then some simply filled up the cup and made proper draining an occasional prospect.
I removed the impacted material from the cup and cleaned out the sump hose. With everything put back together, the pump drained water quickly and much quieter than before. The customer wasn't to happy as she felt the cup was the reason for the poor draining and had it not been there, everything would have simply gone down the drain. But I did caution her that without that cup, it was more likely the pump would have been permanently damaged resulting in not only the cost of the service call but the pump as well.
Customers generally do not like to be told not to do things to their appliances, especially when they just handed you a check, but in order to prolong the life of your washer or any other appliance, it is best to use them as they were designed. And most of that information can be found right in the users guide. You just need to get past all the shock and death warnings to find it.

great article, thanks for sharing. i'm chuckling at the idea that the customer felt that the pump's trap cup was to blame for the problems with the washer...as if it was an arbitrary last-minute addition from the engineers who designed the machine. or perhaps an accident: "oops, how'd that trap cup get in there?"

enjoy your break. I hope you are the one taking that picture it looks breath taking.ReplyDelete
Have a great time!!ReplyDelete
That picture is just WOW! I like the fall weather too, except for the rainy ones, but unfortunately it reminds me of what is to come next which I really don't like much at all.ReplyDelete
Ack! I love that photo! Where is it? Do you mind if I put it in my drawing inspiration folder?:)ReplyDelete
Enjoy your family kiddo!!
Wow, that picture is stunning!ReplyDelete
Have a great week!ReplyDelete
That photo is amazing. Have a great time!ReplyDelete

So you have a great time! We will be here, God willing, when you get back! Enjoy your family..they are sooo precious. I had a little time out with mine today and it was good for the spirit to catch up.ReplyDelete

Hey, I know where that picture is!:) and you had to drive past my studio to take it! :)ReplyDelete
You took lovely photos! Wow! I'm impressed! Did you go to Bryce and Zion? We have been both places twice, but both times in the Spring...even had snow at Bryce which really made it gorgeous... even if it was May. lol I never realized how gorgeous Utah is in the Fall. After seeing your pics I believe I will have to suggest to my husband that our next Fall trip be to Utah. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

Heyo you crazy buggars! Looks like you manage to stumble upon my profile!
I am a fairly normal deviant, not really much to say there. I enjoy long walks on the beach, drinking tea while watching the sunset. Oh and bald green aliens whom run around space.
You know all the normal stuff.
I enjoy creating art any opportunity I have, though I am not the fastest, or most productive artist out there. I am always open to making new friends so don't ever hesitate if you wanna chat to give me a good ol' tap on the shoulder!
|So a Bit About Me!|
I am 19 years old~!
My birthday is April 23rd
I am absolutely enthralled with tea. Everything about it.
I am fresh out of highschool, land currently like so many others adrift in the seas of uncertainty as I decide on where I want to go in my life. I am leaning towards a career in art somewhere, but we will just have to see!

- February 09, 2011 - 17:50
I'm tired of hearing the cries of the *oh poor me* innu,Yes, I'm glad these people have taken a stand about the money for the future of the kids,and hope they get their jobs back. BUT, I live in Goose Bay and am sick to death of hearing the * our land * and the * we want money from this, that and the other * . I wish the governement would get a back bone and say *HELL NO!!!* Not be walked over and give free everything. Why was 5.5 MILLION!!!! given freely to the members of the community? Exactly for WHAT reason was this done? I have lived in Labrador my whole life, I am as much an owner of *OUR LAND* as they are, yet i get nothing, I work, and dam hard!! I have a sick child, yet nobody is willing to toss some of that *our land* money my way to help my child get the medical attention needed. How about they get jobs(there are loads out there) and put that money into a medical fund for the the people of the province who can not get help from anyone. My parents maybe from Newfoundland(and I'm proud of this), but I was born and raised in Labrador!! I AM LABRADORIAN AND SICK OF IT!!!!! Oh, and Gerry, well said!

Simeon Tshakapesh needs to be check out in a metal hospital period . i cant imagine the amount of money he has wasted on him self and his pretend friends the lawyers. suck it dry before his time is up i guess thats what he is planning on the people expense. make me sick the thought of him being in power and making his people live in fear of job lost when there isn't much employment in the town already. all he is doing is peaking on the weak abuse of power

Well goddamn it ...... it will soon be time for all of us to start a new revolution. "A total of $5.5 MILLION has been given to community members since last year .... and ....... he has also arranged for WWE wrestlers to come to Natuashish to perform and has agreed to take four youth and chaperones to Toronto to see wrestling." Am I reading a fairy tale here? Good God .... what in hell is going on? Is this how your tax dollars (and mine) are being spent? For some, it seems "life is a banquet, while most poor suckers are starving to death" (Auntie Mame 1958). Some day I expect we will become so frustrated we may be motivated to duplicate a page from the streets of Egypt and Tunisia in order to awaken our politicians to the fact that many of us have become "fed-up" with the uncontrollable, trivial expenditures of our tax dollars. And having said that, I guess I will be marked a redneck and a bigoted and intolerant person. But to repeat a movie quote from one of the oldies of the 1940s, " Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn".

2005 Chevrolet Cobalt LS Review
small and fast
A Perfect First Car! — Love everything about my car! Nontraditional color(Sunburst), lots of trunk space, very good on gas. Passengers say it's small but I say right size for me. Perfect for weaving in traffic. Easy to handle, great for last second breaking. Drivers seat has many adjustment options. Baught used, owned for three years. Never been in for repairs, only for fluids and tire services. I love driving my car and love it more than any other car I've driven.

2005 Chevrolet Cobalt LS Coupe Review
Gas mileage, Sporty appearance, Not expensive
Not a lot of power, Can't take a hit very well
The Best Car I Have Ever Owned — I bought the car in 2005 and I have had no problems out of it at all!! I have never changed the brakes or had any engine problems..nothing! It drives smooth and gets great gas mileage. If you are looking for a cute, cheap, good quality car that won't empty your wallet at the pump..the Cobalt is for you!!

rattles and too many quality issuues.
Robin5457 writes:
2005 Chevrolet Cobalt LS Review
Smooth and quiet ride, fairly comfortable seats, pretty good gas mileage and easy handling.
Kind of plain looking, no cruise control and as soon as I step off the brake the car starts to move (on flat land and even slight upward hills). Also not a great car to drive on snowy roads. I had difficult time driving in 1-2 inch snow.
Good For Short Commutes, Easy Handling — The interior is fairly big for the car being the size it is. As long as you're a passenger it's a comfortable ride. It would be more comfortable for the driver if there was cruise control. The one I drove didn't have it but other than that it was nice to drive. Good handling and traction on dry roads. Overall good and reliable car. Hasn't had any major issues yet.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

The whistle of that SC
The amount of parts that break.
I Like It When It Works — I love the car. It has had a lot of problems since I've bought it. I also don't get to drive it much due to being gone all the time. When I am able to drive it it's an amazing feeling.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
Scott writes:
2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Review
Faster then all it's competitors and cheaper then most.
A little expensive to maintain, and the trunk opening is way to small.
Looks Good, Goes Better — With that supercharger the acceleration is awesome, 2nd and 3rd gear really pull. Corners good and flat, though it is front wheel drive. I like the look of the interior, I think it should age well style wise. But the trim around the window switch gear is peeling and it's been replaced once all ready, come on GM you can't paint plastic. Looks wise, everybody thinks I put the body kit on and compliments me on it. Tires and oil changes are brutally expensive but I guess that's the cost of owning a fast car. I can get 40mpg on the highway and V8 power when I step on it, best of both worlds.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Review
Nobody suspects a cobalt to be quick
Every 16 year old chick drives a base cobalt.
Overall Satisfied With It. — The performance is more than you would suspect with 250hp, 15lbs of boost and drilled and slotted rotors. Of course this is after the stage 2 kit. But thats a must have. Gas mileage is decreased with the power adder but overall a good car.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

2005 Chevrolet Cobalt Base Coupe Review
Its fun if its standard
Not sure at the moment
If You're Looking For A Car, Its Cheap And Good On Gas. That Is If You Drive Nice Of Course — The trunk is huge if you need room in a 2 door coupe, this would be your ticket, it also has a decent amout of back seat space and head room. For a base coupe the 2.0l 4 cylinder engine has got a decent amout of balls for a 4 banger. It governs at 170 thought =(, so thats kinda bummer. Parts to improve the car thought are not that terribly expensive.

Gas Milage
Electric problems, steering, frame, axle, engine, space, durabilit, reliability.
Worst Than Anything Imaginable. Mafunctioned And Continues To Surprise In A Horrible Way. — The car handled like a dream for the first three months, but on the forth month it was a nightmare to deal with. The things that went wrong were just too much to handle. First the car turned off on it's own, randomly, then it locked and unlocked itself. The power steering went out soon after. To make things worst, they keys got stuck and wouldn't move. This was tied to the shifter, which locked (twice) in 1 year! Horrible vehicle and GM refuses to announce a recall for it. Do not buy their cars!

2005 Chevrolet Cobalt LS Coupe Review
definately worth the extra $ to get the 7 speaker sound system, the sub sounds great. it's not overkill. good on gas, about 25 mpg. cheap if your on a budget.
the nickel paint color on the interior could at least stay put, or make those parts that are painted the silver color instead of black.
Nice And Affordable. — performance- when you accelerate fast it has a little bit of a delayed reaction. kinda sucks. but I don't race so I guess it doesnt matter that much. build quality- on door handle inside, the silver paint is chipping off and the fabric is pulling away from the handle. appearance- it's a pretty car, no doubt. not my first choice but it works for now. cost- pay about $40 from 1/8 of a tank to fill it. i just pay for the oil changes every 3 months. good quality if you take car of it, it's never needed anything else done to it. fun- it feels much funner when it's clean and has some tire shine. =)

Early restoration projects
Early restoration projects are designed to accelerate efforts to restore natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico that were injured as a result of the Deepwater Horizon accident
BP and the trustees, as of December 2013, have reached agreement or agreement in principle on a total of 54 early restoration projects that are expected to cost approximately $698 million, including 10 projects that were approved in 2012 and are already under way.
The projects are part of BP's commitment to provide up to $1 billion in early restoration funding to expedite recovery of natural resources injured as a result of the Deepwater Horizon accident. The early restoration framework agreement signed in 2011 requires BP and the trustees to agree upon the potential projects, funding and the natural resources benefits the projects are expected to provide. The trustees then implement the projects.
The agreement makes it possible for restoration to begin at an earlier stage of the natural resource damage (NRD) process than usual. NRD restoration projects are typically funded only after the NRD assessment is complete and a final settlement has been reached or a final court judgment has been entered. This process often takes many years, and restoration is often delayed during that time. The early restoration framework agreement allows the parties to expedite projects to restore, replace or acquire the equivalent of injured natural resources in the Gulf soon after an injury is identified, reducing the time needed to achieve restoration of those resources.
Projects under way
Ten projects were approved in two separate phases.
Phase I projects
- The eight initial projects will restore and enhance wildlife, habitats and the services provided by those habitats, as well as provide additional access for fishing, boating and related recreational uses. The projects are in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi.
- The trustees approved the projects in April 2012 following a public review and comment period and implementation began in the same year.
Phase II projects
- Two additional projects will improve beach nesting habitat for birds in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi, and for sea turtles in Alabama and Florida.
- The trustees approved the projects in December 2012 following a public comment period and implementation began in 2013.
Pending projects
BP and the trustees have reached agreement in principle on 44 projects.
Phase III projects
- The 44 projects include ecological projects that will restore habitat and resources, as well as projects that enhance recreational use of natural resources. The projects are located across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. The ecological projects include restoration of dunes, seagrasses and oyster habitats. The recreational use projects are designed to address the temporary loss of use and enjoyment of natural resources when beaches and fishing waters were closed.
- The trustees announced 28 of these projects in May 2013 and the remaining 16 in December 2013. Funding will be provided once the trustees review and address public comments, and the projects receive final approval.
The trustees provide updated information on early restoration projects through an interactive atlas.

Portable, sort-able, and indispensable cards for planning every aspect of your wedding.
Best of The Nest
Recently, one of my bridesmaids backed out of my wedding, citing personal and financial problems. She feels that a "friend would understand" her situation. Personally, I have always thought that a bridesmaid should be there for the bride no matter what; to prove it, I am committed to be in her wedding (six months before mine) even though I am relocating across the country and will have to fly in for her bridal shower and the big day. I should also note that she has already kicked a mutual friend out of her bridal party because of a miscommunication. So, just what are the obligations of a bridesmaid to a bride? And do I have a right to back out of her wedding because she backed out of mine?
Sounds like you are hurt that your friend backed out of your wedding, and either don't believe her reasons for doing so or feel that they are not good enough. Think of it this way: If you were having serious personal problems that prevented you from being able to participate in a friend's wedding, you would want her to understand right? If you really value this relationship, trust your friend. Take her word for it that being in your wedding is too difficult for her right now, and even try to see if there is anything you can do to help her out. She is probably heartbroken that she can't participate in your bridal party, and your pulling out of her wedding would only make her feel worse.
As for the miscommunication she had with your mutual friend, it's really not your business, and not an okay excuse for you to drop out of her wedding. Remember that first and foremost this person is your friend -- not merely a bridesmaid with "obligations." While your wedding day is of course about you, it doesn't blot out the usual turmoil and drama that touches you and your friends' lives every once in a while. Call her and tell her you understand -- it will make you both feel so much better. You may even try to find another, cost-free way to make her a part of your day.

LSTE Scholarship Announcement
Smiley Scholarship Offers $6,500 Learning Systems Masters
The Arkansas Community Foundation and the UALR College of Education are encouraging students pursuing a master's degree in Learning Systems Technology at UALR to apply for the Walter Smiley IMPAC Scholarship. Applicants may apply for the $6,500-a-year scholarship through the UALR College of Education.
The scholarship is named for the venture capitalist who initiated IMPAC Learning Systems Inc, which implemented nearly 1,000 technology programs in Arkansas school districts between 1983 and 2002. The IMPAC Learning Systems Endowment was established at the Arkansas Community Foundation in 2002 as a legacy of the computers-in-schools program that impacted thousands of Arkansas teachers and students throughout the state.
The scholarship is open to prospective and currently enrolled graduate students in the Learning Systems Technology in Education program. Teachers who have received training in the use of technology in the classroom are especially encouraged to enroll in the LSTE master's program and apply for the scholarship.
Applicants must meet all of the requirements for admission into the LSTE program, including:
Earned a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution with substantially the same undergraduate programs as UALR.
Achieved a 3.0 GPA on the last 60 hours (including post baccalaureate hours or a 2.7 GPA on all undergraduate hours taken for the baccalaureate degree).
Successfully applied to the UALR graduate school: UALR Graduate School
Passed an academic evaluation by the LSTE program coordinator.
Applicants must also submit a College of Education Scholarship Application outlining their interest and experience in utilizing educational technology in the classroom.
The scholarship application is available by accessing the following link: 2014-2015 Scholarship Application
Scholarship applications are due by 5:00pm in the College of Education Dean's Office, Dickinson Hall 323 on Friday, February 28, 2014. Late applications will NOT be accepted.
All decisions will be made by the College of Education Scholarship Committee and will be final. The scholarship is renewable for up to six years.
For more information, contact Pat Martin at 501-569-8693 or email@example.com.

All applications to the Internal Medicine Residency are received through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) which electronically transmits, via the Internet, the applications and all supporting documents. U.S. Medical Graduates must apply to ERAS through the Dean's Office of their Medical School. International Medical Graduates must apply through the ECFMG Office.
Interviews are by invitation only and are generally offered to applicants with a combination of solid medical school performance, above average USMLE scores, recent clinical experience in U.S. hospitals in which the student or physician had meaningful responsibility for patient management decisions, and strong letters of support from clinical supervisors.
Applicants who are offered an interview will be directed to our scheduling website to select a preferred interview date. Appointments are generally scheduled between mid-October and January. In case of conflicts or questions, the Internal Medicine Residency Coordinator is available at firstname.lastname@example.com. E-mail is our preferred method for communication.
Applications to all St. Vincent Residency Programs are only accepted through the ERAS application system for the match. It is important to know that we are unable to accept or store any documents (CV's, letters of reference, etc. via fax or email). We prefer to receive applications by January 1 so we have time to review the paperwork and possibly schedule an interview before February 1. All positions are filled through the NRMP. There are no pre-match positions available. Our goal is to match the best people that we can find into our Residency programs regardless of their country of origin. We presently have US-trained and international medical graduates in residency at our hospital.
If you match at St. Vincent, the policy of the Medical Education Department is to consider the visa of your choice, provided that there is time to acquire this visa and that you have the proper credentials. We are very much in favor of the J1 visa because it is much less expensive and requires less paperwork and time. We have found that the J1 visa is almost a sure thing in a quick turnaround time frame, whereas the H visa can be denied or held up for multiple reasons.
USMLE Step 1 and CK need to be passed on the first attempt, preferably with a score of 200 or higher. USMLE CS, must be passed on the first attempt. It is not necessary to have completed USMLE Step 3 in order to apply to our program.
We like to see medical school graduation dates within the past 3 years. Exceptions to this are possible, provided that there has been experience, practice and documentation of continuing medical education since graduation. We do, however, follow a strict 5 year cut-off for medical school graduation dates.
To be successful in our program, we have found that applicants need a minimum of 3 months U.S., hands-on, inpatient clinical experience. More than 3 months only enhances the quality of your application and provides you with a better chance of being selected for an interview. We do not consider observerships or research experience as U.S., hands-on, inpatient, clinical experience.
We do not provide observerships before the match. Following a favorable interview, there is a possibility of an observership either before the match or before residency in order to assist you with orientation to our hospital. Two to three weeks' time is required prior to a requested observership for the processing of criminal background checks as required by our Corporate offices.
