Practical steps that healthcare organizations should take in creating disclosure programs that meet the Securities and Exchange Commission's guidelines for disclosure include:
Five recent actions brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against state and municipal borrowers highlight the SEC's increased focus on disclosure relating to municipal securities and, in particular, the importance to borrowers of publicly issued debt of establishing good disclosure practices and procedures. Although the SEC's actions were targeted at state and municipal issuers, the lessons that can be drawn from these actions are equally applicable to healthcare borrowers.
Federal securities laws are designed to protect investors that purchase securities by, among other things, ensuring that borrowers provide investors with information that does not misstate or omit to state a material fact. In short, disclosure must be accurate and complete. Although borrowers of municipal bonds are not subject to much of the federal regulatory regime applicable to issuers of corporate securities, the antifraud provisions of federal law apply equally to municipal and corporate securities. Thus, a failure to provide an investor with disclosure regarding the borrower that is accurate and complete can lead to liability under federal law for fraud, and that liability can arise from negligence, rather than intentional acts of the borrower.
The recent line of cases provides insight into what the SEC appears to believe constitutes best practices for municipal borrowers. Notwithstanding that the SEC lacks regulatory authority to directly require municipal borrowers to adopt these practices, the commission appears to be sending a clear signal that it believes that these practices should be considered and adopted by municipal market participants.
State of Illinois. The first of the SEC recent enforcement actions focused on the state of Illinois' disclosure regarding its statutory plan to fund its pension obligations. On March 11, 2013, the SEC charged the state with securities fraud for allegedly misleading municipal bond investors about its approach to funding pension obligations and issued a cease-and-desist order against the state. Illinois, which had begun in 2009 to implement a series of measures to improve its disclosure regarding its pension obligations, without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, agreed to a settlement and consented to the SEC's order.
Illinois, like many public employers, has provided its employees with a variety of pension benefits. Although the state's disclosure has consistently included statistics regarding the Illinois pension system's assets and liabilities, the SEC alleged that Illinois did not disclose that statutorily required contributions underfunded Illinois' pension obligations and deferred pension funding into the future. The result, according to the SEC, was that the underfunding of the pension plans created risk that, in the future, the shortfall in required pension payments would have to be covered from Illinois' operating budget, potentially straining the state's ability to meet its other obligations—a fact that the SEC found would be material to a reasonable investor.
City of Harrisburg. The SEC's next enforcement action, filed on May 6, 2013, focused on the failure of the city of Harrisburg, Pa., to provide required continuing disclosure and the alleged effect on the secondary market of other publicly available information that arguably failed to describe Harrisburg's financial condition adequately. According to the SEC, for more than two years, Harrisburg failed to submit information and event notices required under the city's continuing disclosure agreements. During this two-year period, on finding itself in dire financial condition, the city sought to restructure its financial position through state receivership or federal bankruptcy. The SEC found that Harrisburg made other public statements in these two years, however, including posting certain materials on its website that the SEC alleged did not accurately and completely describe the city's precarious financial position. The SEC stated that investors were forced to make investment decisions without having the benefit of material information regarding Harrisburg's financial condition. Based on the findings of its investigation, the SEC instituted a cease-and-desist proceeding against Harrisburg.
City of South Miami. The SEC's enforcement action, instituted against the city of South Miami, Fla., on May 22, involved the failure of a borrower to disclose a change in the use of a bond-funded project that had significant tax law implications and which, according to the SEC, also resulted in violations of the federal securities laws because of the borrower's failure to disclose this material information to the market.
City of Miami. The SEC filed a complaint on July 19 against the city of Miami and its former budget director alleging that by making improper interfund transfers, the city and its budget director had caused Miami's general fund balance to be shown as higher than warranted in the city's audited financial statement. Because these financial statements were filed as part of Miami's continuing disclosure and were also included in official statements for subsequent bond issues, the SEC alleged that Miami's disclosure was misleading and inaccurate. Miami had been the subject of a cease-and-desist order entered in 2003 alleging that the city had violated federal securities laws. The SEC's 2013 complaint seeks both an injunction against further violations of these laws by the city as well as civil monetary penalties.
West Clark Community Schools. On July 29, the SEC issued a cease-and-desist order against West Clark Community Schools, an Indiana school system, alleging that the school system had materially misstated in its official statement that it had met all of its continuing disclosure obligations over the previous five years when it had not done so. The SEC also brought a similar action against the underwriter of the subsequent bond issues, alleging, among other offenses, that the underwriter conducted inadequate due diligence and, as a result, failed to form a reasonable basis for confirming the truthfulness of the issuer's official statement.
The SEC's recent enforcement actions offer healthcare organizations several important lessons regarding making good disclosure.
First, and perhaps most important, the SEC has focused on borrowers implementing formal disclosure practices and procedures. Where borrowers improved them, the SEC cited the improved practices and procedures as a significant mitigating factor. In those cases where the borrower had not instituted such improvements, the SEC required the borrower to undertake improved disclosure practices. Formalizing processes and instituting written procedures allows borrowers to develop clearer and more detailed disclosure.
The second lesson is that the SEC remains focused on borrowers making accurate and complete disclosure regarding pension obligations. The future pension obligations of many entities, including some healthcare institutions, are significant and, if not adequately addressed, could impair a borrower's ability to satisfy other future obligations, including debt service payments, as the current Chapter 9 bankruptcy filing by the City of Detroit has demonstrated. The SEC has made clear that it regards failure to provide accurate and complete disclosure with respect to pension obligations as a violation of federal securities laws.
The city of Harrisburg action underscores the importance of complying with a borrower's contractual continuing disclosure undertakings. If Harrisburg's continuing disclosure had been accurate, complete, and timely, the SEC may have been less inclined to allege that investors were misled by the materials posted on the city's website. Absent other disclosure, the SEC was compelled to charge that the posted materials were the only information available to investors. This case provides an important lesson for borrowers with bonds outstanding: Make sure all information that is reasonably expected to reach the securities market is accurate and complete.
South Miami's alleged materially misleading statements were apparently due to a lack of processes and procedures to ensure that appropriate city staff were familiar with the city's tax and disclosure responsibilities, leading to a failure of South Miami's staff to determine whether the city was in compliance with its covenants. The shortcomings led South Miami's staff to falsely certify each year that the city was in compliance with its contractual obligations while failing to provide notice that the tax-exempt status of the bonds was in jeopardy, which the SEC characterized as the omission of a material fact. The South Miami enforcement action marks the first time the SEC has taken the position that a borrower's failure to disclose actions jeopardizing the tax-exempt status of bonds is a violation of federal securities law.
The SEC has noted in the past that the failure by some issuers of municipal securities to comply with their continuing disclosure obligations is a problem that must be corrected, and the SEC has sought legislation that would authorize it to sanction municipal issuers that fail to meet these obligations. In the West Clark case, the SEC appears to take the position that an issuer's inaccurate statement of compliance with its continuing disclosure obligations in a disclosure document constitutes a material misstatement reflecting a violation of the securities laws.
The complaint against Miami and its former finance director may be a harbinger of a new "get tough" approach by the SEC against persons and entities that it believes have violated federal securities laws. This case also demonstrates the necessity of diligence in accounting. The SEC claims that many of the allegedly improper interfund transfers lacked appropriate back-up documentation and were not in compliance with state and local law. Further, the SEC cited to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) standards as controlling the disclosure that should have been included in the city's footnotes to its financial statements. Borrowers should ensure that their accounting practices comply with applicable legal requirements and accounting standards.
Clearly, the lessons to be gleaned from the SEC's enforcement actions and the developments described in the sidebar on page 109 point to a need for hospital borrowers to consider implementing a disclosure program. Here are practical steps for creation of such a program informed by meaningful disclosure policy and procedures.
Establish procedures to meet disclosure goals—and follow them. This critical step should begin with a review of the organization's existing procedures (whether written or informal) regarding disclosure practices. Procedures should be structured to address the following key goals:
Procedures also should be tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the organization. For example, the procedures developed for a stand-alone community hospital likely wouldn't be appropriate for a large national healthcare system.
Conduct an internal audit of current disclosure practices. Consistent with tailoring procedures to an organization, the initiative to develop a disclosure program should begin with an inventory of what an organization currently has in place. During this "internal audit," organization leaders should ask the following questions:
Designate personnel. Responsibility for primary and secondary market disclosures should be assigned to one or more people within an organization. The most likely sources of candidates who might assume this responsibility are the treasury and financial reporting teams. Candidates should be qualified to speak on behalf of an organization at financial conferences, at bank and rating meetings, and in investor calls. Both in-house and outside counsel should be involved in disclosures and in development of the disclosure program.
Ensure personnel involved receive appropriate training. Once procedures are in place and roles have been established and defined, the personnel involved in the disclosure process will require training. The disclosure training process should be just like the process used for any new policy or procedure: Some departments or employees may need general training, while others may need more focused training. Disclosure problems often occur because different departments are not talking to each other, so an important focus for training should be on educating employees about when they should communicate certain information to individuals designated as responsible for disclosure.
Reassess the organization's historic deal pattern. As an organization develops its disclosure procedures, it also should reconsider how it approaches deal-making. That is not to say each organization should reinvent the wheel; rather, it is important to consider a fresh approach to the disclosure process, looking for opportunities for improvement. When developing a deal calendar, for example, the organization should make sure that calls are planned and scheduled to allow meaningful time for reviewing documents and discussing disclosure points. And with respect to Appendix A disclosure and bondholders' risk disclosure, management should have ample opportunity to review the disclosure and contemplate its effects. Organizations also should consider whether, in light of healthcare reform, additional information or metrics should be provided to ensure that investors have an accurate picture of the organization.
Make effective use of counsel. A quick word on disclosure counsel: Making sure that counsel understands his or her role in the disclosure process and has access to deliver the 10b-5, or due diligence, opinion at the end of the transaction is critical to ensuring high-quality primary disclosure.
Each organization will have a different approach to the use of either outside or in-house counsel after closing. It is important to think of the role of counsel, however, as it relates both to an organization's monitoring and consideration of compliance with the SEC's Rule 15c2-12, municipal securities disclosure, and to quarterly secondary market disclosure.
A counsel's role (whether in-house or outside counsel) should not end with the delivery of the initial issuance opinion.
Establish clearly defined policies for website disclosure. It is important to let investors know where information can be obtained, and to use website disclosure consistently. To the extent that an organization posts information on a company-managed website, policies should state a clear position on website disclosure and procedures should ensure that the information is posted timely.
For healthcare organizations that have not already begun to develop a disclosure program, it is never too late to start. In addition to taking into account lessons learned from several recent SEC settlements, a meaningful disclosure program can offer many benefits, the most significant of which is to provide a foundation for an effective investor relations program.

Recent Marketplace Developments Related to Municipal Disclosure
In addition to the SEC's recent enforcement actions, three other developments relating to municipal disclosure are worthy of note.
The current popularity of direct loans with banks. Since 2009, governmental issuers and conduit borrowers have increasingly used private bank loans as an alternative to publicly offered bonds. However, borrowers are not required to provide disclosure regarding additional debt, including bank loans. Thus, information regarding such loans often is not available to bondholders and analysts. The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) took note of this issue and in 2012 issued a notice encouraging borrowers to make information about bank loans available voluntarily. On May 1, 2013, a task force of market participants issued a white paper entitled Considerations Regarding Voluntary Secondary Market Disclosure About Bank Loans (search on "considerations").
The whitepaper presents recommendations regarding the disclosure that a borrower having outstanding bonds may wish to make when it enters into a bank loan. Although it does not go so far as to recommend that a borrower make such disclosure, the whitepaper provides a useful guide of the types of information that borrowers electing to provide disclosure should provide.
The white paper does include a recommendation that disclosure be provided within 10 days of the bank loan. Because the information that is disclosed should reasonably be expected to reach the market, borrowers are reminded that the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws are applicable to such disclosure. The whitepaper also notes that borrowers making such disclosure may wish to include disclaimers in any such voluntary filing.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issuance of a report on the municipal securities market. On July 31, 2012, the SEC issued its Report on the Municipal Securities Market, which contains recommendations relating to disclosure. The SEC's authority to regulate the municipal market is limited under current federal law. The SEC's report focuses on several discrete disclosure topics that the SEC finds to be of special interest and importance, including financial statements and financial information, disclosure regarding pension and other postemployment benefits, exposure to derivatives, the use and import of disclaimers, and disclosure of conflicts of interest or other relationships.
The report provides a clear view of the issues that the SEC believes require further attention to improve disclosure in the municipal market. Healthcare borrowers and their counsel should read the report and consider whether their current disclosure practices are consistent with the SEC's recommended positions. The report presages many of the issues that have been the focus of recent SEC enforcement actions, and it seems likely that other issues it addresses will be the focus of SEC attention in the future.
The impact of healthcare reform on disclosure. Healthcare reform and new payment and financial penalty approaches are likely to alter significantly the types of information that municipal buy-side analysts will be seeking from healthcare borrowers, both in official statements and in continuing disclosure.
For example, the shift in emphasis and funding incentives from inpatient to outpatient treatment means that statistics that account only for inpatient market share and net patient revenue have become less accurate as indicators of a healthcare institution's standing than they were in the past. Of increasing importance to analysts are outpatient market share, allocation of revenues between outpatients and inpatients, total case mix by categories of payers, percentage of revenues from various sources such as the Medicare Shared Savings Program and capitation arrangements, and readmission rates and other quality scores.
As the financial impact of healthcare reform begins to be felt, analysts will be seeking to determine which providers are successfully realigning their business models to take advantage of and benefit from the new incentives that are embedded in the legislation, and which providers are failing to keep pace with these significant changes in the market. As healthcare borrowers access the municipal market over the next several years, borrowers and their counsel will want to consider the types of data that reflect the manner in which the provider is adapting to the new healthcare market, and develop means and methods to disclose those data clearly, accurately, and thoroughly in both primary and continuing disclosure.

Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, showing in the Museum Park Theater on Saturday (rescheduled for Friday, 9/30), focuses on one month of the president's term. This is January 1865, and the main drama is discussion of an amendment to the Constitution abolishing slavery. Lincoln does the best job of any movie on the Civil War in looking at the complexities and ideas of the conflict. Rather than a movie of battles, Lincoln is a political drama about Congress. The film accomplishes something spectacular: it transforms what could be tedious into a thriller.
The movie shows a divided North—represented by the socially radical Thaddeus Stevens, the centrist Abraham Lincoln, and the socially conservative Democrats—with very different ideas of how the war should end and what should happen to the institution of slavery. In this volatile mix Lincoln develops its own theory for why the president chose January 1865 for the amendment rather than later in the year. In a small scene where two Missouri citizens petition Lincoln, he asks if they would support abolition once the war was over. The citizens say no, they want to hurt the rebels, but freeing slaves might overthrow the social order. This may be the best scene in the film; it is a new and different thesis for Lincoln's decisions. Spielberg argues that the president recognized that only through the war could he end slavery. If the war ended, many politicians might lose the impetus to destroy the "peculiar institution."
Is the movie accurate? I had the opportunity to watch it with two Lincoln scholars (James McPherson and William Harris) who both agreed that the details are spot on. Despite a few dramatic additions—I won't write them here because they are spoilers—the movie gets the dress, style, speech, scenery, and most important, the ideas right. The two issues of war and abolition are inextricably linked.
How does a political thriller fit in with the North Carolina Museum of Art? Somewhat difficult to figure at first. Then I realized the answer was staring me in the face in our American Gallery. Next to a huge painting of the founding fathers are three sculptures of the "Congressional triumvirate" of Henry Clay, John Calhoun, and Daniel Webster. These three men dominated the American politics of their time, were fantastic orators, and represented their own distinct sections of the country. All three were very influential to the young Abraham Lincoln.
A Massachusetts senator and representative, Webster was a prominent supporter of the Union ideal. Though Webster constantly praised New England's greatness at the expense of the South, his love of the Union was overriding. One of his most famous speeches was in response to an attempt by South Carolina to nullify a federal law. Webster equated nullification with disunion and argued, "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." Lincoln often relied on Webster's arguments and speeches in justifying his own cause for war—a war to preserve the Union.
Calhoun, a representative from South Carolina, represented Webster's political opposite, insisting that the rights of states had priority over the larger collective. Calhoun argued against Webster during the nullification crisis but backed down when President Andrew Jackson threatened force against South Carolina. Though Calhoun died long before the Civil War, Southern states used his arguments in favor of their secession.
Calhoun's Roman-style bust was placed in North Carolina's Capitol Building after its completion. In April 1865, when Raleigh surrendered to the army of General Sherman, retreating Confederate soldiers dumped an inkwell atop Calhoun's sculpted head.
Lincoln was inspired by Henry Clay and shaped his early political career around the congressman from Kentucky, one of the most influential politicians of his generation. A young, hard drinking Clay helped draft the Treaty of Ghent ending the War of 1812; as a polished orator he crafted the Missouri Compromise of 1820; in Congress he pushed through numerous bills for internal infrastructure and wrote the Compromise of 1850 as his swan song.
Though a slave owner, Clay argued for Union over secession and denounced the Mexican War as immoral expansion to please the "slaveocracy." Clay's pro-Union rhetoric influenced Lincoln, in his first congressional term, to focus on limiting the expansion of slavery. The Civil War further transformed Lincoln's views from anti-expansion to abolition.
The Thomas Ball statues ignored the midcentury vogue of dressing politicians in Roman togas, instead showing the men as they were—commonly dressed, giving speeches, and resting on the columns of liberty. Ball wanted to show these leading politicians as mortal men with beliefs rooted in the present, not the past.

Skin breaking out post-op :(
- Sponsor
Did anyone else's skin go bananas after surgery? It all started about 3 days after surgery. The surgeon smeared antibiotic ointment all over my eyes to protect them during surgery, and afterward, my nurses told me to not wipe it off just yet. On the 3rd morning, I woke up to find two angry red patches itching around my eyes. Today is day 6, and OH MAN has it spread all over. :( :( :( Before surgery, I had relatively good skin with the occasional spot or two, but now, my entire face is covered in splotchy red, itchy, oily patches. Is this normal? Is it just because of the swelling and over-reactive oil glands? Can someone please offer me advice on how to manage the breakouts? I would really appreciate it, thank you. Being banded shut for 5.5 more weeks is not an easy task as it is so to throw inflamed angry skin on top of that is just excessive - sorry to whine. -_-

Ive heard about this before, so dont worry youre not the only one. Ive seen tons of youtubes about jaw surgery and I came across one girl that broke out because im guessing the creams they gave her or the meds. I ll see if I can find the you tube of it for you! Goodluck!

I never had acne problem before my surgery but now (6 weeks post op) I'm breaking out so much. So today I bought some wipes from Neutrogena thats suppose to help the spread. So i'll let you know. My surgeon told me the acme is because they used steroids after the surgery and that might be the reason why I'm breaking out

I was thinking this the past few days too.
My skin is awful recently and it just keeps getting worse.
I'm trying to use skin wipes a lot, but now I have dry patches under my eyes and by my nose, I can't win.
Glad to know it's generalised, not just my skin going crazy, at 21 it was just starting to settle down after being a teen.

Im having the same problem, breakouts of this awful oily acne. I have it all over my nose, my chin (Where I had an implant), along my jaw line, under my eyes and on my forhead. I even have acne on my back! I've tried using acne prducts, and even going to the doctor, everything fails, and I feel like it gets worse. I thought it was the medicine leaving my body, but it's been 4 months since surgery and the medicine should be all out. >< Im glad to know Im not alone!

ShyChey the same thing is happening to me and I was trying to avoid sweet foods, washing my face with different soaps and everything. My surgeon told me yesterday that it is an allergic reaction to the steroids they inject during the surgery. It has only bee two months for me, but it keeps getting worse and he said it would probably have continued. He gave me these pills to take for 2-3 months and he said it should go away. I never had acne before the surgery so I thought it was very odd, I am happy he mentioned it during out meeting yesterday. You should probably ask you doctor about it unless you've already tried this route. Good Luck! I know how bad it is when you wanna show off your new face but are self-conscious of all the acne.

Acne after surgery is a common side effect. This happens primarily because (1) you were given steroids in the hospital to reduce inflammation, (2) the general anesthesia wreaks havoc on your endocrine system (among others), and (3) the change in diet throws off your pH. Steroids raise your cortisol levels which is the stress hormone and this causes acne. The diet - you're likely eating more acidic foods (vs. alkalinizing). If you have a juicer, try to get as many whole fruits and veggies as possible and limit dairy and refined carbs. Also be sure to use a pH balanced gentle cleanser (like Cetaphil) and not to overstress your skin with harsh cleansers to overcompensate for the acne. Some foods are more alkalinizing than others, I would suggest googling for a list and seeing which ones are your favorite and try to incorporate as much as possible into your diet while cutting down on dairy, animal fats, and simple carbs. Drink lots of water (2-3 liters a day) to help flush the toxins in your system.

Tuesday, April 2, 2013
this weekend i'm hitting the road. heading on a road trip (and ferry trip) with some awesome pals to hit up vogue knitting live in seattle! i cannot wait! i'm sooooo excited! needless to say since i'm going away i needed some handmade lovelies to accompany me. i have my laurel dress from last week and next up to show you is my new box bag. box bags rock. i heart them...but remember what happened last time i made one (read about it here)? yep. not so good. silly me. oh well. lesson learned. i knew i would try again and if i did i wanted it fully lined with no exposed seams.
my fave parts of this bag are the fabrics. aren't they awesome? they are from katherine codega. her illustrations and prints are some of my faves! i splurged on 3 prints a while back and just adore them. it's taken me eons to get the guts to even cut into them i love them so much. i'm happy i did now though. i absolutely adore my new bag :) you can find katherine codega's shop here. if you pop over tell her i sent you :) she does custom listings as well so if you see something you want and it's sold out odds are she can print it for you. that's how i got one of my prints.
i used the tutorial from my friend libby of the blog truly myrtle to make the box bag. i knew what i wanted and still remembered what i had done the first time so it was a piece of cake this time round. box bags can be a bit tricky to wrap your head around at first if you're a new sewer so take your time and i strongly recommend really visualizing what you are doing. hold the pieces up in front of you as you read the instructions and envision the end result. there are a tons of tutorials online showing how to make these but i really liked how libby's is fully lined with absolutely no exposed seams. i hand stitched my small opening closed and i'm super happy with my results. looks fabulous! these bags are also a really good way to practice your zippers too!
all in all they are fun little bags to use for just about anything small you want to tote around. mine is for my sock knitting at the moment. i'm super hooked and wanted a small bag to fit 2 small projects in for my trip. you can make them bigger though. the box bags are really easy to customize to whatever dimensions you would like yours to have. you can even make them quite large to fit sweater knitting in - just be sure to use a strong interfacing :)
>> pastel triangles and bows & arrows pastel by katherine codega
>> fully lined, hand stitched opening, pellon medium weight interfacing, zipper pull on one end, followed same sizing as truly myrtle tutorial.
such a fun and quick sew! i think i need a few more :) i've got another lovely to show you this week for my upcoming trip & an announcement as well so stay tuned!
are you going to vogue knitting live? if so let me know so i can look for ya! do you use box bags for your knitting? how do you make yours? share pics! i'd love to see them! happy sewing!

i love it!! xoxoReplyDelete
Love it! I just might give this a try so my knitting has a cute home and not a ziplock bag :)ReplyDeleteReplies
It is soooo fun to have cute bags for your knitting! I have zippered pouches, box bags, handsewn totes, cute containers for my accessories and more! It's almost as addicting as knitting! Hope you give it a try!Delete
I use Libby's tutorial, too! I've been making them for friends but I'm hoping to sew up three this week - and one will be for me! (Wish I had such gorgeous fabric to cut into!!)ReplyDelete
Have fun at Vogue Knitting Live!!Replies
Can't wait to see yours!!!Delete
I saw your bag on Instagram and thought it looked familiar... Thanks for the mention Shannon :) VERY cute box bag!!ReplyDeleteReplies
You're welcome hun! I love how mine turned out :)Delete
Cute bag! Thanks for linking to this tutorial. I've been meaning to sew a box bag or too but was seriously lacking in the courage department (zippers, top stitching... yikes!) I'm gonna give it a try soon, fingers crossed!ReplyDeleteReplies
You can do it! Just go slow, take your time and maybe do a practice one first? I also recommend just making a simple zippered pouch first to practice the basic construction (topstitching/zipper) and then move to the box bag. They are fun to make and great practice projects!Delete
Oh what a cute bag! I am so jealous of your upcoming trip. I really wanted to go to it in NY, but we couldn't work it into our schedule. The timing wasn't right :( boo hoo. Have a blast!ReplyDelete
Aha!! I´ve been sewing this type of pouch for a while but THIS is the ONE. Thanks Shannon and thanks for the link to the tutorialReplyDelete
Looove the box bag and wish I was going to VKL with you!ReplyDelete
"Aren't the fabrics awesome?"....um, YES! Perfection! The colors and patterns are amazing! A box bag is a perfect project for fabrics you love, too...you get to look at them all the time! Have a WONDERFUL time at VKL!!!ReplyDelete
OH my... I am seriously jealous of your bag AND fabric. Have fun in Seattle!ReplyDelete
this is really cute - those fabrics! and the zipper color!ReplyDelete
Hope you're having fun in Seattle. It's one of my favorite places! I would totally live there in a heartbeat.
This bag is AMAZING!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much!Delete
Do you remember what kind of interfacing you used? I'm using Pellon shapeflex on mine but I'm wondering what my other options are.ReplyDeleteReplies
No, unfortunately I don't remember. I do recommend Pellon products though and odds are it's Pellon I used. Sorry I can't give you the exact product name.Delete

Gina has been very successful with Willow Decor, having been featured in the Washington Post and having met a lot of designers that she admires. She has also met many of her blogging friends, including some that we've even interviewed on Decor Medley!
It is with great pleasure that we feature Gina today, and we thank her very much for her time and effort. Please welcome Gina from Willow Decor!
1. Gina, thank you for taking part in our interview. Please take a moment to tell readers a little bit about yourself and your blog.
2. You're based out of Boston, one of the best places to visit in the
country. The history, the beauty, the charm… I love it! Tell us a bit about
your home and neighborhood and some of the history behind it over the decades?
Also, are there any good antique shops and décor stores around town that you
like to visit?
My home is a 1930's Royal Barry Wills colonial with a slate roof. I feel a
tremendous responsibility to maintain and upkeep the integrity of my home.
After almost 80 years I wanted to enhance the home and not remove the elements
that make it a classic.
There are so many
stores I love: some favorites include locally - Hudson, Comina, Civilization
(Swedish antiques) and Belle Maison – The Boston Design Center has wonderful
showrooms - The Serpah and Home in Sturbridge and also Simply Home and Avolli in
Maine. Since my visit to New Orleans I can't stop raving about Tara Shaw, Home
and Garden, Perch and Julie Neill Designs. I have found shipping more
reasonable than I had anticipated.
But I am a bargain shopper at heart and I remain a flea market girl – I never miss Brimfield and I also love HomeGoods and Jordan's Furntiture Warhouse. I have had success mixing expensive and inexpensive, for instance the focal point in my family room is an 1800's painted chippy mantel I found in the trash. I have had it hanging in the past three of my homes and when we sell the houses the buyers always request it in the deal. But I always say- sorry I need to keep it – It's a deal breaker!
3. What in
particular draws you to the decor of the Gustavian period? Have you ever
visited the places in Europe that you draw your stylistic influences from?
For the first several years I was married, my husband and I both worked and
lived in Munich, Germany. I had always loved Swedish antiques and Bavarian
antiques have a similar quality - painted, and waxed pine pieces. We often
drove to Austria, Italy, France and Switzerland visiting the sites and
antiquing. We traveled all over Europe and had many pieces shipped to Munich.
4. Since
you've started your blog, you've gotten to meet some of your followers in
person, such as Julie Neill from Bayou Contessa. How has blogging changed your
social life and have you gotten to know some of your readers personally?
I am so incredibly fortunate!! I have a network of "blog" friends and have met
several of them. It was a joy to meet Julie Neill and her staff- what wonderful
artisans! But also I have had the opportunity to personally meet several of my
design idols, most notably, Suzanne Kassler. What a wonderful designer and so
forthcoming with advice and tips to help others create beautiful spaces.
5. How have you been enjoying your new butler's pantry and office, and are you answering these questions in your pantry right now? Looking back, was it worth all the effort to renovate?
6. You recently blogged about your love of twig furniture. With the summer approaching, do you have any plans coming up for outdoor backyard decoration projects?
7. The renovation of your kitchen was really something else. You like to post some photos of inspiration rooms that give you ideas for your renovations, which is a nice touch. Whether it's magazines or the internet, where are your favorite places to find these kinds of inspiration rooms?
8. If money were no object, where in the world would you choose to live, and what kinds of elaborate things would you do to your home that you cannot do today?
9. Gina, thanks again for joining us today. For this last question, please tell us what first got you interested in home decor and design, whether it was something from childhood that sparked your interest, or whether you developed it later on in life. Thank you and have a great rest of the year!
So... did this interview inspire
you to make reservations for the next flight to Sweden? Very tempting,
isn't it?

Ingrown Toenails (cont.)
When to Seek Medical Care
Anytime an ingrown toenail has developed into an infection (drainage, a fever, lighter skin surrounded by red skin, or worsening pain and swelling), see a doctor.
Even if the ingrown toenail is only inflamed without infection, see a doctor if the following conditions also occur:
Most ingrown toenails can be managed in the doctor's office. However, go to the emergency department (by car, not ambulance) if these circumstances develop:

Exclusive Video: Watch Tom Krell Perform 'Suicide Dream 1'
In the fall of 2010, Tom Krell released How To Dress Well's debut album Love Remains, a warped, dark look at the deep walls of depressioncaused by a personal losssheathed in the singer's ghostly, beatific voice. The "denouement" of Love Remains, as Krell calls it, is "Suicide Dream 1," an arresting, open-ended artistic statement originally released on Love Remains with a newer version that he debuted on his orchestral EP, Just Once, in 2011.
He is currently preparing to return with his second full-length effort, Total Loss. Where Love Remains was meant to depict the way in which depression leaves one with "nothing more than a smothered cry," his newest release aims to go further. "I realized I wanted to figure out how to do meaningful mourning through my art," he explains.
ELLE.com spoke with Krell about the evolution of How To Dress Well, why he's tired of being compared to Frank Ocean, and how he views himself as an ever-evolving work of art. Below, watch an exclusive video of Krell performing "Suicide Dream 1" with orchestral backing at Vancouver's Waldorf Hotel.
ELLE: Did the critical praise heaped upon Love Remains affect the artistic approach for Total Loss?
ELLE: Was there an effort to evolve with Total Loss? It's certainly more piano and vocally-driven than Love Remains.
ELLE: You've been quoted as saying you want to make "alien" music, but "not alienate" listeners.
ELLE: Critics have perhaps unfairly lumped you in with contemporary R&B newcomers such as The Weeknd and Frank Ocean. Is this frustrating?
ELLE: It's also been a hot topic that you are pursuing your Ph.D. in philosophy while maintaining this blossoming music career.

Justice for Shahzeb Khan
On December 25, 2012, 20-year-old Shahzeb Khan was shot dead in Pakistan following an argument with Nawab Siraj Talpur, the "master" of a servent responsible for teasing Shahzeb's sister. And though, Shahzeb's father - also a police man - had seemingly resolved conflict before night's end, the 20-year-old was injured and killed by Talpur, a friend, and his armed guards after firing shots into Shahzeb's car. Those complicit in the shooting quickly escaped to Sukkar and the police has yet to put forth a substantial effort to catch the murderers. Shahzeb's father has pointed out that his son's case is only indicative of how easy it is for those with political backgrounds or power to murder and get away with it. He said: "I had settled the dispute. Then why was my son killed like this. This is the brutal reign of the feudals. They don't spare anyone." Peaceful protests are being organized across the country for December 30,2012 to demand justice for Shahzeb Khan.

Varsity Clubs of America-Tucson
Paintings of college and pro athletes hang throughout the lobby and suites of Varsity Clubs of America-Tucson. In keeping with the sports theme, there's a rec room just off the lobby where guests can watch games on a giant, flat-screen TV. The Tucson hotel celebrates athletes from all over the country, but the University of Arizona Wildcats are a particular favorite, since the campus is just 3 miles away.
Local restaurants, shopping, and outdoor activities in and around the downtown area are all within easy reach, but there's plenty to do on the hotel property as well. Guests can go for a swim in an outdoor pool surrounded by towering palm trees, or head to the billiards table to find out if eight balls really can predict the future.
This was a great place to stay. After our stay here we will be back! The room was very clean and the staff was very friendly.Reviewer, Hotels.com, 9/4/12

Home building is physically demanding work and manual material handling may be the most difficult part of the job. Manual material handling includes all of the tasks that require you to lift, lower, push, pull, hold or carry materials. These activities increase the risk of painful strains and sprains and more serious soft tissue injuries.
Soft tissues of the body include muscles, tendons, ligaments, discs, cartilage and nerves. Soft tissue injuries cause workers pain, suffering and lost income. They can also restrict non-work activity, like sports and hobbies. Builders' and employers' costs include loss of productivity and high workers' compensation insurance premiums.
Simple Solutions for Home Building Workers provides basic information about readily available work practices and equipment that can help both new and experienced workers, contractors and builders prevent serious manual material handling injuries.
