Written up and confused. - page 3
I have been a nurse for 2 years now and have been fortunate enough to avoid any deaths on my shift until recently. Last week I had a hospice patient with a DNR who was exhibiting Cheyne-Stokes... Read More
2Oct 11, '12 by netglowYour NM could also be "one of those". The type of nurse that believes all hospice patients need to just die and the faster the better. Choking/drowning is fine to them whether on food or bile or blood or what I call lung water. Some of this type actually believe that you are making them live longer if you try to give comfort care. To these nurses, you either let the person die naturally by any means (hands off, except for changing briefs) or you just load that syringe and push fast.
1Oct 11, '12 by LivingADreamYou did not do anything wrong! This is total BS. When a pt is a DNR you are still supposed to make them comfortable. You were looking out for your patients best interest. You need to go above your supervisor on this one.lindarn likes this.
6Oct 11, '12 by MADALENE4591My heart goes out to you! I have been in your shoes and in the real "nursing world" please be extremely careful when you venture in
following the so-called "chain of command" path. I got terminated for doing the "right" thing and at times Administrators are in a fantasy world and don't want any employee rocking the boat! If you are seeing " red" flags that managers are piling up derogatory
reports, you need to have an escape plan and look for employment elsewhere as the integrity of the manager is questionable and you are in a very hostile working environment. If you don't have strong alliances at the top , you are putting your nursing career on the line
It caused me dearly and my 25 yrs impeccable nursing career got ruined because of senseless and malicious gossips !!!
I fought hard because of good principle but unfortunately , I was dealing with different caliber of people .... Take care and good luck!
P.S. If managers are issuing Corrective Actions ... make sure you write a rebuttal on the C.A. Statement. Unfortunately, the prevailing rule per institutional policy = refusal to sign is automatic termination on the spot unless you file a grievance with HR and again make sure you have a strong basis to support a claim and always have a witness during any disciplinary proceedings and make anecdotal notes in your memory bank of issues that might back fire. -
6Oct 11, '12 by nursythingI mean, you could have just as soon reached in and scooped it out with a swab or toothbrush. You don't need a doctor's order to perform oral care do you? But how gross and undignified is that? And what if something had droped back into her throat as you did that? THAT would've killed her. So, I'm sure the suction was quick, clean, and safer. The removal of the pocketed food was appropriate, regardless of what tool you used. I think you demonstrated a decent amount of critical thinking and problem-solving. Especially since it would have just rotted in her mouth (also undignified) and the family would have to be in there sitting with the stench (also undignified and obstructive to their grieving process). Don't let her do this to you.
2Oct 11, '12 by jadelpn GuideYou know you did the right thing. Comfort care and DNR's don't equal no treatment. You did not un-necessarily prolong the patient's suffering, nor did you do anything that would be out of the norm of comfort care. A yankaur suction to the mouth is definetely not something that needs an order in most facilities. You were not deep suctioning the patient--and even then, sometimes that is needed to alleviate the patient's distress that no amount of morphine could help. I wonder what the family would have said if said patient choked on the pocketed food, started flailing and gagging.....that would have been a heartbreaking scene and completely uncalled for.
Apparently your NM needs the education on how to conduct herself appropriately. Hopefully, she will take it to heart.Wise Woman RN and lindarn like this. -
1Oct 11, '12 by tewdlesI agree that you acted with the intent of providing comfort for the patient who was in the process of actively dying.
There was no way this poor individual was going to swallow the food pocketed in her mouth. At best it was going to sit there, rot, and smell bad. At worst it was going to actively choke her and cause an uncomfortable death.
If you had an active medical order on the chart, which had not been discontinued by hospice, to suction as needed I believe you are covered.
It sounds as if, perhaps, hospice had a conversation with your manager about how much the family appreciated your efforts. You acted like a nurse who could provide good compassionate care for a dying patient again.TJ'sMOM likes this. -
1Oct 12, '12 by amygarsideI think you should consult a lawyer and if you are a member of a nurse's union consult with them also. I think that you are just doing your duty and what you believe is best for the patient.jrwest likes this.
3Oct 12, '12 by applewhiternWow. In my 23 years of experience, I've never heard of having to have an order to orally suction a patient in this manner. We suction our hospice patients, and hospice actually set up a portable suction machine at my house when my son was dying. To not do so is simply inhumane. Your manager needs to educate herself.

This one I learned from my Grandpa, and it still holds absolutely true today...
The best, cheapest, easiest garden tool storage solution you will ever see.
We've tried the below for storing our gardening stuff - and the plastic backing broke, the tools kept slipping out.
The guy in the photo isn't happy, he's stoned.
Look at him! He's not smiling...
He's thinking "What a waste of time and money! My wife owes me big time!"
This is system is not worth the I.O.U. ladies!
Listen to my Grandpa...
If you can bang a nail and drill a hole - you are set!
This is a simple 2x2 that Hubby attached to the garage wall (make sure you hit studs).
Then bang nails in the 2x2 where you want your tools to hang.
Brilliant man eh?

I thought for sure that this has been talked about within the past year, but can't seem to find anything.
I'm thoroughly confused on what might be a good burr grinder under 250, preferable 200. (Still in sticker shock as I've always used my $20 Mr Coffee blade grinder.) Does ceramic burrs really preserve flavor via cooler grind temps? I'm not looking to make espresso, but I have fallen in love with my pour over and now want a consistent grind. Thoughts? Advice? Recommendations?
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a Capresso. It's about 10 years old and has been used daily. It works great. |
I'd recommend the Baratza Virtuoso. I've had mine for years and am very pleased with it and the company's customer service. They make higher end models now that are more suitable for espresso afficianados but this model is great for drip and French press and good for espresso. |

Another Baratzza fan here! |

Isn't the price of quality small electrics ridiculous? How expensive can it be to make a device that grinds a coffee bean?? We paid $250 for a Breville oven and it was still made in China. We've had the Capresso grinder for 5 years and it makes a flavorful cup of pour-over. We don't make espresso. It's about $100. |
We have had so many grinders over the years. Right now we have a Breville Smart Grinder, which is by far the best we've had. It's about $200. |
We have the Capresso. I can't compare it to an over $100 grinder since I've never used one, but this grinder has been fantastic for us for a number of years. I use fairly oily beans and it's the only grinder I've had that can handle them. My sisters are somewhat snobbish about their coffee but they always comment on how much they love my coffee when they visit (I'm the youngest and as far as I can tell, this is the only thing I do right). I love it so much that I bought a back up one, just in case anything goes wrong. All of my other grinders had given out after a couple of years, so I assumed this one would, too. But it's going strong. |
I'm making a nice little chart of everyone's recommendations - thank you! Capresso - glad to hear about the happy owners (zelmar, jxbrown, may_flowers). This line has more economical choices, and it's nice to hear it can handle years of daily use and oily/dark roast beans. Great info! Breville - I've had my eye on one! Nice to hear sas95 that you are happy with yours. Baratza - watching a few YouTubes on these as well. Thank you starinasgarden and weissman! Can you tell I'm transferring all my obsessive pondering to grinder choosing now that I don't have kitchen remodeling details to distract me from other stuff I should be doing? :-) Thanks everyone, |
Baratza is the darling of the coffee message boards like home barista for cheap coffee grinders (cheap meaning under $700). They have a grinder for most budgets and have seconds often available through their website. They are famous for great customer service. If you aren't making espresso one of their grinders should be great. Great espresso demands a pretty serious grinder. There also are good hand grinders from other sources if you don't mind cranking yourself and that saves quite a bit and works well. I don't personally think ceramic burrs are that important, but the difference between a blade and a burr grinder is night and day and the differences between various burr grinders is pretty dramatic, too, although not as dramatic. I don't think these grinders are a rip off as I strongly believe that if you could make money making good ones even cheaper someone would take advantage of that and introduce a product and make a killing (in fact this is just why Baratza is so popular - at a given price they produce better grinders than most and so people love them). Then again I am a coffee fanatic and would far rather have a nice coffee set up than a nice car, for example. From that perspective they are a bargain. |
I have a Rancilio Rocky. It's about ten years old now and works beautifully. I chose it originally because I already had a Rancilio Sylvia and so I just went for the partner grinder without researching. I love them both and would recommend them both. |
- Posted by kitchendetective (My Page) on Sat, Sep 15, 12 at 15:22
So, which model Baratza? |
Are beans crushed or ground? Is there a difference? |
Secondo, your info - and the passion of coffee enthusiasts - is wonderful. Sayde, I liked what I was seeing with the Rocky too. Archie123, I didn't know the difference between chopping/slicing and grinding till I started watching YouTube instructional videos. I especially like what I call "The Gail Series" - she has a bunch of demonstrations on various machines - some according to price range, some just testing out new models. The best one (for me) was her comparison of the Baratza Virtuoso and the Breville Smart Grinder. These videos are addicting.l.think I'll go make a cup of coffee now. |

DH loves his Capresso. We also have a Capresso super automatic coffee machine that he loves. It's his favorite thing in the house. |
I love my Breville Conical Burr Coffee Grinder! It has a large capacity hopper, and a nice container to catch the ground coffee. With the smaller grinders, I made such a mess, and grinding for 12 cups was a chore. I haven't spent much time tweaking the settings for the perfect cup of java, but it's easily done for those that are looking for the perfect cup. As it is, our morning coffee is great! You can't go wrong with this heavy duty machine. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Williams Sonoma
I recently got the Bodum burr grinder in red after reading a lot of reviews. The thing that sealed the deal for me is the glass catcher. It seems like every other grinder I looked at has a plastic catcher. My previous burr grinder had a plastic catcher and the static electricity would cause coffee grinds to build up over time, requiring regular cleaning. The glass catcher is awesome - a little bit of the grinds stick, but it doesn't build up at all so no regular cleaning is required. That aside, the grinder does everything you expect a decent conical grinder to do. The grounds are nice and even, the settings are easy to adjust, and the bright red looks great on my counter. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bodun grinder
In answer to which Baratza, I'd pick up a refurb Preciso if I were looking in that price range. My Baratza did have an issue well after the warranty was up and they still sent me a free replacement, so they will stand behind it. It doesn't make it under $200, but it makes it well under $250. The Rocky is supposed to be a good grinder, but truth be told most grinders are for espresso or for drip and it is intended for espresso so I wouldn't expect it to be as good for drip. (You ideally want not just a different size grind for each, but also a different particle distribution). I don't know about the Rocky first hand, but my guess is that it would be better for someone looking for espresso than drip. Again that is not based on first hand experience so I could well be wrong. |
Another vote for the Baratza Virtuoso for drip coffee. It's heavy, relatively quiet, and gives consistent results. I bought from Prima Coffee Equipment. |
I ordered a Bodum from Amazon. After using it about a year, I definitely would not recommend it. It clogs easily. You really can't try to grind dark roast. For it to not clog,even when doing just 1 cup I can only keep it at a large grind setting. It only runs for 15 seconds at a time. Making enough coffee for just 1 single cup takes 4 tedious button pushes, with a 15 second cycle following each. I believe the directions say you shouldn't do more than X cycles per 5 minutes, where X isn't enough to make grounds for 1 cup of coffee. If you're thinking about this model, suggest you read all the negative reviews on Amazon and see if you're willing to tolerate the downsides. Overall it's rated highly on Amazon, but I've had all of the downsides pointed out in the negative reviews occur. I should have sent it back, but I thought if I just cleaned it the problem would go away. |
I bit the bullet today and bought the Breville Smart Grinder on Amazon. The 2 Gail videos helped me decide between that and the Capresso. Not knowing a thing, I imagine that both would extract the flavor I'm looking for, so I went for some of the luxury features. I'll report back after testing it. Meanwhile, with each positive review, I rethink my choice. :-) |
MareLuce - it sounds like your model is defective. You should call Bodum and see if they'll replace it. I've had to problems at all with mine, and 7s of grinding produces enough to make 2 mugs of coffee in my drip machine. |

So what do all of you do about beans ????? I read that you should grind them just as you get the water hot enough to pour over the grounds..hmm..and that the beans should have been roasted no more than 7 days prior to using them. I buy already ground Seattle's Best and use a French Press...not the best coffee :( But I am willing to learn. So tell me how you source your beans !! c |
Trailrunner, we are fanatics, and we actually source our beans unroasted and then roast a pound at a time ourselves. I was shocked at what a huge difference there is when your beans are always freshly roasted. My understanding is that beans are at their peak between 24 and 72 hours after roasting. The pound usually lasts us 6 days or so, and I can't really tell the difference in our coffee 3 days vs. 6 days out. |
Oh my my... I've had the Breville for about a week now...how did I live without it!?! I had a house full of guests from China, and they were as mesmerized as I am. We made coffee at all hours of the day just for the sensory experience. Perhaps this belongs on a new topic about induction cooktops - they wok'd away with sheer joy due to its heat control and intensity. Very fun watching them take our burners for the ultimate test drive. Back to coffee...I hear a home roaster might be in my future. :-) |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Sat, Sep 29, 12 at 16:37
sas,,thank you so you have a special roaster ?? or do you do them in the oven on a sheet pan..this is all news to me :) would appreciate any info. Where do you get the beans ? c |

HI AnnaA, Thank for reporting back on the Breville Smart Grinder. Glad you are enjoying it. And thanks for turning us on to the "Gail" videos on YouTube -- very fun and informative. |

I have read much discussion on coffee enthusiast websites about the optimal grind, and the perfect brewing temperature, and other coffee making minutia. An experience I had a year ago has me convinced that much of it is foofaraw. On a tour through Trinidad one of the stops was at a local house where the woman who lived there would take coffee beans she had picked and dried on her back porch and roast them in a cast-iron dutch oven on an aged gas stove. She would then grind them using a had cranked aluminum grinder, and brew the coffee in a different cast-iron pot on the stove. And what she made was possibly the best cup of coffee I've ever had. She gave us samples of the ground beans to take with us, and that evening I made some in a french press and it was pretty good, the next mornings batch was mediocre, and the day after it was worse than the on ship coffee. |
Bob, I think you've experienced what MANY people do when traveling and eating food, drinking wine, etc.; which I think is a fine demonstration that how much you enjoy when you're eating is only partially dictated by how good something actually is. Company and atmosphere can actually matter much more than the taste of the food you're consuming (ask anyone if that bottle of wine they had on their honeymoon on Italy tasted as good as the bottle they brought home, or scoured local wine shops for 6 months later). What I see here is actually a two part confirmation of the supposed "foofaraw" -- one, that freshly ground beans are one of the most important factors in determining the quality of the cup (you received ground coffee samples which go downhill in a matter of hours); and two, sweating the details when it comes to coffee matters. Your host has probably tried a number of different brewing methods (sock, boiling, FP style, etc.) and settled on that particular method for the tools on hand (e.g. a really coarse grinder) and the beans available. Of course, this isn't to belittle your experience in Trinidad! I'm sure the coffee was wonderful - something that many of the coffee lovers among us are ever pursuit of, which is why we sweat the foofaraw, because it does matter. Oh, and to contribute to the discussion, I use a Rancilio Rocky grinder and it's quite nice. I originally bought it for espresso, but discovered that I care a lot about the grind in all the kinds of coffee I drink. It was a wonderful discovery to notice that my FP was MUCH more enjoyable with an extremely consistent grind and very little fines. |

mateo21, You may well be right. She probably has gone through years of incremental improvements to all of the steps involved, including several that just aren't practical here, like hand-picking the berries at the correct ripeness or different durations of sun-drying. Plus she can probably tell just by the smell when the beans are roasted properly. I think what I meant in using the word foofaraw, was in the reviews I was encountering on the websites, that basically seem to say "if you want a good grinder, you'll have to spend at least $500, anything less than that is crap." Or "This machine initially produces water at the optimal temperature of 195 deg F (IIRC) but at the end its all the way down to 188 deg F! Unacceptable!" So yes details matter, I just think that there is point past which more attention to a particular detail produces no commensurate improvement in the results, except perhaps via the placebo effect. I don't mean to cause a kerfuffle, I may be simply trying to convince myself, to avoid spending hundreds or thousands in an endless quest for "better". |
If I'm reading the above conversation correctly, I take it to mean that there is a tipping point to all elements of the best-coffee making process from best grind, to water temp, to growing, picking, and roasting. But, as others have said, the decline in what is possible begins within minutes / hours of roasting. I get that. Lately, I'm happy with extracting the best out of my beans - especially when I know they weren't roasted that particular week. Btw, anyone read about the new $11,000 coffee maker invented by some NASA scientists (or someone similar). My DH was reading me the story over the weekend and made me swear we didn't *really* need it. I told him, no worries here but I sure wouldn't mind trying a cup made in the device. |

Hi, I've had a small burr grinder by Cuisinart for about six years. It's perfect, except if you use a french press and want very coarse grind, it still has some "fines" in with it. Couldn't have been more than 50 bucks and 6 years of service, so it is a very reliable unit. Casey |
AnnaA - I don't know if it's the same machine, but a few years ago someone came out with the Clover machine in the same price range. Some Starbucks bought them and you could get cups of coffee individually brewed with them. Here in Boston they even used lighter roasted beans from a local purveyor instead of their normal Charbucks roast :-) |
Charbucks...too funny! I will have to try their lighter roast brewed in a Clover. Bob_cville, your pictures didn't show up on my screen till today, so just saw them. Thank you for sharing them - very powerful! |

Silent Night is a beautiful holiday song, but it's certainly not the atmosphere you want at your holiday party! If, instead, you'd like to Deck The Halls and have your guests "laughing all the way," here are a couple of ideas that will help.
Give Santa's elves a break this year by booking Wildly Different's Toy Workshop charitable activity. Teams assemble two wooden toys, such as rocking horses and toy benches, and they also get to stuff and dress five teddy bears. But, before they can assemble the toys, they must first solve puzzles in order to get the materials they need to make them. For instance, teams may have to identify 10 Christmas carols from the hints provided. What is this one - Christmas? It's Blue Christmas of course! Instead of writing Santa a letter, participants write the kids who will be receiving the toys a letter, wishing them a year filled with joy and happiness. To learn more about our charitable activities, contact us or visit this link.
If you're inviting friends and family to come Home For The Holidays, you may want to organize a unique gift exchange. Have everyone bring a wrapped gift and a small token that hints at what it is. For instance, if giving a candle, the token may be a book of matches, or if bringing lottery tickets, the token may be a penny to scratch off the tickets. As guests set their wrapped gift on the gift table, hand them a token in exchange for their own. As guests mix and mingle, they can show off and even swap tokens. Encourage them not to reveal what gift their token relates to. At a set time, give everyone five minutes to make their final swaps. Then, have each person come up one at a time to show their token and pick up the gift that corresponds to it.

The Capital District Transportation Authority is undertaking a major route restructuring of its services in Albany County. The purpose is to establish a new routing network that better aligns services to demand because where people live, work, shop and travel has changed dramatically over the years. The planning for the new route system will be based on ridership data, future developments, and most importantly, input from riders and residents. We have conducted similar route restructuring in Saratoga and Schenectady Counties, which have resulted in increased transit ridership.

Some women experience some of the following bowel problems after pelvic radiotherapy.
Bleeding from the back passage (rectum) after radiotherapy is common, but it's usually mild and often doesn't need treatment. Bleeding sometimes improves gradually and can stop on its own after a few years. Women who take blood-thinning medicines, such as aspirin or warfarin, may have heavier bleeding.
Bleeding may not always be a result of previous radiotherapy. It can be caused by piles (haemorrhoids) or straining on the toilet. But even if you think you know the cause, always tell your cancer doctor or specialist nurse if you have any bleeding from the back passage. It's important to find out the cause and to rule out serious problems. Your doctor will do an examination of your back passage and may refer you to have a test to look at the inside of your rectum (an endoscopy|).
If bleeding is minor and manageable, you probably won't need any treatment. You'll be given advice about your bowel habits to help minimise the bleeding and avoid constipation.
If the bleeding is interfering with your day-to-day life or if you have become anaemic (when your body produces fewer red blood cells than usual), you're likely to need treatment. If you're taking blood-thinning drugs, your dose may be reduced and monitored. Your doctor or specialist nurse will explain more about your treatment options and give you more detailed information.
The most commonly used treatment for bleeding from the rectum is a drug called sucralfate (Antepsin Suspension®), which is given as an enema. An enema is an injection of fluid into the rectum. Sucralfate works by coating the lining of the rectum, reducing inflammation and encouraging healing. It's important to avoid constipation| when you're being treated with sucralfate.
A drug called formalin is also helpful for some people. It works by sealing the bleeding blood vessels. Your doctor can give it to you through a thin, flexible tube with a light on the end (endoscope), which is passed into the bowel. You can also have it done under a general anaesthetic.
If bleeding is higher up in the large bowel (colon), or isn't reduced with enemas, other treatments may be helpful:
We have section on hyperbaric oxygen therapy|.
Tenesmus is the feeling of needing to go to the toilet often, although your bowel is empty. It can involve straining, pain and cramping. It's probably due to cramp (spasms) in the muscles that stimulate the bowel, as radiotherapy can affect them.
The spasms can often be controlled by:
Sometimes tenesmus can be caused by constipation. It's also sometimes caused by a non-cancerous growth (a polyp) in the bowel, or can be caused by a cancer. Your doctor will examine your back passage and may arrange for you to have a test called a flexible sigmoidoscopy, to look at the rectum and lower part of the large bowel.
After radiotherapy, some women develop a split in the skin (a fissure) where the back passage opens to the outside of the body (anus). It can cause very sharp, intense pain when you pass a stool (bowel motion). Your doctor will usually prescribe creams that you can apply to the area. It's important to avoid constipation, as this can make the fissure worse. Your doctor may prescribe a laxative to make it easier for you to use the toilet.
If the fissure doesn't improve, it can be treated with injections of botulinum toxin A (Botox®), which are given into the tissue lining the anus.
Feeling that you can't wait when you get the urge to open your bowels can be stressful, particularly when you're away from home. You may sometimes have leakage (incontinence). The degree of incontinence varies. You may just have a small amount that causes some staining on your underclothes.
Occasionally, women may have an accident and leak a larger amount of stool. Although you might find this difficult to talk about, it's important to let your doctor know as there's a lot that can be done to help.
If you have bowel control problems, such as urgency, leakage, diarrhoea or constipation, there are several things that can help. The best way to manage any bowel control problems depends on the symptoms you have and what's causing them, so it's important you're properly assessed. If your symptoms don't improve, ask your GP to refer you to a gastroenterologist, a specialist nurse or continence adviser for advice.
The most common methods of improving bowel control include:
Foods affect people differently so there may be some trial and error before you work out what's best for you. Try to find out which foods cause constipation or make your bowel motions loose. You may be able to eat less of them without cutting them out altogether. Caffeine, alcohol and artificial sweeteners can also cause problems.
See our food guide| below for information about foods that can cause or improve bowel problems.
Some supplements (such as the mineral selenium, which is only needed in small amounts) can cause diarrhoea.
Fibre is important in regulating how your bowel works.
There are two types of fibre:
Your specialist nurse, continence adviser or gastroenterologist (if you're seeing one) will advise you on the type of fibre you need and how much you should have.
If you're adding fibre to your diet, do it gradually to give your body time to adjust. Start with small amounts and slowly increase the amount when you're ready. Make sure you drink more water.
Adding more fibre won't be right for everyone. After pelvic radiotherapy, you may not be able to cope with as much fibre in your diet as before. So, 'five a day' may not always be appropriate. Some high-fibre foods make the bowel produce a lot of gas (wind). You may need to avoid these if wind is a problem for you.
Soluble fibre supplements, such as Normacol® (an insoluble fibre), are often prescribed for people who have frequent bowel motions or incontinence. They're also used to prevent constipation. They work by absorbing water and expand to fill the bowel, making the stools bulkier and easier to push out. Fybogel® is another fibre supplement but it makes the bowel produce a lot of gas (wind). Normacol is often a better option. You can buy some fibre supplements at the chemist, or your doctor can prescribe them. Always make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids each day (at least two litres) when you're taking fibre supplements.
Sometimes, radiotherapy can affect how well your bowel copes with certain food types, such as:
Symptoms of food intolerance may include tummy cramps, feeling bloated and increased wind after eating a particular food. If you think you may have a food intolerance, ask your GP to refer you to a gastroenterologist.
If changes to your diet aren't enough to control bowel problems, anti-diarrhoea drugs may help. It's important to speak to your doctor or specialist nurse before taking any medicines.
The most commonly used treatment is loperamide (also called Imodium® or Diareze®). It slows down your bowel, making the stools more solid and less frequent. Taking loperamide regularly, half an hour before meals, works very well for some people. It's safe to take it for as long as you need it, but discuss this with your doctor. The dose you take may need to be adjusted until you find what works best for you. Your doctor may recommend starting with a low dose and increasing this until it's right for you. Loperamide is also available as a syrup, so you can take less and adjust the dose as needed.
Other anti-diarrhoea tablets, such as codeine phosphate or diphenoxylate (Lomotil®), can also be prescribed. Your doctor or a continence adviser can advise you about the medicines that may be best for you.
Sometimes, low doses of anti-depressant drugs are prescribed to help slow down the bowel.
If you have diarrhoea and changes to your diet and anti-diarrhoea drugs don't help, ask your doctor to refer you to a bowel specialist (gastroenterologist). A number of things can cause diarrhoea and a gastroenterologist will be able to assess the exact cause.
Radiotherapy can cause other conditions that can lead to ongoing diarrhoea, such as bile acid malabsorption and small bowel bacterial overgrowth.
Normally, bile acids are made in the liver and transported to the small bowel to help us digest fats. They are then absorbed back into our system. Sometimes radiotherapy damages the small bowel so it can't re-absorb the bile acids (malabsorption). This leads to diarrhoea.
Bile acid malabsorption can be diagnosed using a scan called a SeHCAT scan. Your doctor can tell you more about this. It's helpful to have the scan before treatment to confirm the diagnosis and the extent of its effect on you. If you have bile acid malabsorption, you'll need to take a drug for the rest of your life to treat it, and/or stick to a low fat diet. So it's important to get the diagnosis right.
Bile acid malabsorption can be treated with a drug called colestyramine (Questran®). It comes as a powder that you mix with water or fruit juice. Most specialists advise taking it at meal times, rather than on an empty stomach (as the instructions say), because they think it works better and is easier to take this way.
If your stool is sometimes pale, smelly and difficult to flush away, Questran may not work or may make things worse. If this happens, your specialist may prescribe a newer medicine called colesevelam (Cholestagel®). You may also be referred to a dietitian for advice on managing a lower fat diet.
A healthy small bowel contains almost no bacteria, although the large bowel contains lots of healthy or good bacteria, which help us digest food. After pelvic radiotherapy, bacteria sometimes grow in places in the small bowel where there shouldn't be any bacteria. These can cause a number of symptoms, but the most common is diarrhoea. Other symptoms include fatty stools, wind, bloating, constipation, feeling sick, vomiting or bad breath.
Small bowel bacterial overgrowth is usually treated with antibiotics.
Some women notice that, when their bowel motions are loose, they are also paler than usual and much more smelly. The stool may float and be more difficult to flush away, and there may be a film of oil on the toilet water. This is called steatorrhoea.
It can be caused by:
If you have symptoms of steatorrhoea, you should ask to be referred to a gastroenterologist, who will be able to help you. Steatorrhoea can usually be treated effectively.
Exercises to strengthen the muscles used in bowel control can help you manage urgency, leakage and incontinence. Some women find they also help with wind|, bowel cramps and tenesmus|. The exercises work the muscles around the back passage and a deeper layer called the anterior pelvic floor muscles. These muscles also help with bladder control and are used during sex.
Ask your doctor to refer you to a continence adviser, who will teach you how to do the exercises correctly. You can read more about pelvic floor exercises in our section on bladder changes|.
The Bladder and Bowel Foundation| also produces a fact sheet with instructions on how to do these exercises. You can order the fact sheet or download the information from their website.
It's important to:
You need to do your exercises for at least three months to properly strengthen these muscles.
Normally our pelvic floor muscles work without us consciously controlling them. As a result, you may find it difficult to know if you're doing the exercises correctly.
Biofeedback training| can help you with your pelvic floor exercises and bowel control. Your continence adviser can tell you where you can get this training.
In addition to making changes to your diet, taking medicines to slow your bowel and doing bowel control exercises, there are other things you can do to improve bowel control. Your doctor, specialist nurse or continence adviser can advise you about these.
Some of the following may also help:
Read our section on coping with bladder or bowel changes| for advice on skin care, going out and lifestyle changes that may help you cope.
After radiotherapy, some women have more wind because their pelvic floor muscles are weaker. Although it can be an embarrassing problem, you may be more aware of it than the people around you.
The amount of wind we produce is the result of how healthy bacteria and digestive enzymes in our bowel combine with the foods we eat. Some foods, particularly high-fibre foods, such as vegetables and pulses, cause more wind than others.
This guide will help you choose foods that may help with some bowel problems. It can also help you identify foods that may make some bowel problems worse. This is only a guide, as foods can affect people differently.
These foods should be limited if you have problems with diarrhoea, loose stools or frequent bowel movements. These foods may be helpful if you have constipation.
Very occasionally, women may experience other bowel problems as a result of pelvic radiotherapy:
Radiotherapy may cause a tight band of scar tissue to develop at the opening of the back passage. This causes it to narrow (anal stricture). This can cause difficulty and pain when you try to open your bowels. If it's mild, your doctor will advise you to use a stool-softener laxative or fibre supplement to make it easier to go to the toilet, which will help stretch the stricture. If the narrowing is more severe, you may be referred to a bowel specialist to have the opening stretched (dilatation) or to have an operation under general anaesthetic to cut through the scar tissue.
An area of bowel tissue may break down (ulcerate) and not heal. This can cause watery diarrhoea with blood or mucus in it, and pain and cramping when you go to the toilet. It's often treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy|.
A blockage (obstruction) in the bowel can cause sickness (vomiting), pain in the tummy and constipation. You may be given fluids through a drip to rest the bowel and treatment for constipation. Sometimes an operation to remove the blockage is necessary.
This is an opening that forms between two parts of the body. Rarely, an opening can develop between the back passage and vagina after pelvic radiotherapy.
We have a section on fistulas|, which has more information.
Very rarely, a hole may develop in the bowel wall. This is called a perforated bowel. This can make you suddenly unwell and is usually treated straight away with an operation to remove the affected part of the bowel.

In a "Project Runway" season where fights between contestants raged for hours, one of the finalists took refuge in what some would consider a disability: being deaf.
Justin LeBlanc would turn down the volume on his cochlear implant or completely remove the external device, focusing instead on his designs.
"It worked to my advantage," LeBlanc said. "It allowed me to block out all the drama."
LeBlanc fell short of the win, but by making it all the way to the final four, he helped educate the viewing — and hearing — public about being deaf. He hopes his appearance on "Project Runway" helped dispel some assumptions, myths and stereotypes about deafness.
Among the misperceptions:
"Hearing-impaired" is the preferred adjective.
Not necessarily.
"A lot of deaf people get offended when they're referred to as 'hearing-impaired,'" LeBlanc said. "For me it's not an impairment. It's a way of life. I was born this way. Deaf is appropriate. I'm a proud deaf person."
Any deaf person would welcome a cochlear implant.
"I was against it for a long time. I feared people were trying to change who I was," said LeBlanc, whose parents learned he was deaf when he was 18 months old. The opportunity to get an implant arose when he was about 15, and LeBlanc decided to do so at age 18.
"I decided I had nothing to lose. I could choose to take it off or turn it down."
In adulthood, many of his deaf friends have eschewed a cochlear implant, which is why he suggests parents think twice about making the decision for a baby or young child.
"It's not for everybody," LeBlanc said. "I think everyone should have a choice."
Speaking louder and slower enhances understanding.
"That is a complete myth for me since it will only make it more difficult for me to understand," LeBlanc said.
When he first meets people, he needs to see their lips move in their typical manner. As he gets to know them and their delivery, he trains himself so he can look away and still understand.
"It takes practice." If he is in a dark or loud environment or crucial information is being conveyed, he uses an interpreter for backup, as on "Project Runway."
"I don't always trust what I hear," he said. "I don't like missing out on information."
American Sign Language limits expression.
"I still consider ASL as my first language," LeBlanc said. "I would love to use it all the time but not everyone knows it. It's a beautiful language, all about body language. And body gestures speak louder than words."
A visit to Thailand reinforced that belief. A Thai person who was deaf approached LeBlanc and, despite differences in Asian sign language, they understood each other.
"With verbal language it's hard to convey the emotion. ASL is performance in a way. All of us could benefit from using more gestural communication," LeBlanc said. "It has really allowed me to be who I am."

As the staff of the Hastings Public Library plans to up their fundraising efforts for its Renew campaign, they would like the ability to toast to their donors and success — with adult beverages.
Library director Amy Hafer attended the City Council's work session Tuesday to ask that the library be added to the list of city properties that permit alcohol for special events.
"We're getting ready to kick off a significant fundraising year. We'd like to have some wine-and-cheese-type events for our patrons," Hafer said. "We'd also like to have a toast thanking our donors after we renovate and reopen."

Abolish the Senate: Truly Radical, Yet Wholly Sensible Reform |
By: Jon Walker Monday January 10, 2011 4:09 pm |
While there seems to be some growing intellectual consensus in support of slightly reforming Senate rules to modestly reduce obstructionism, the idea of returning the Senate to its original intent of a majority rule chamber is still labeled too radical. In reality there is nothing radical about merely bringing back the original Senate rule that [...]

New Senate Rules Could Mean Important New Precedents |

In fact, using a ruling from the chair upheld by a simple majority, the Senate can set a precedent that [...]

Radical Conservatives Make Sure Government Isn't the Solution |

Radical conservatives in the Senate are contributing to unemployment in their own novel way: They are so devoted to blocking action that they extend it even to filling relatively low-level government jobs. They want to prove that government can't work, by stopping it from working. They're dedicated to ruining it as part of their nihilistic, self-fulfilling anti-government prophesies.

Many reports on the late Robert Byrd's long career as a US Senator are pointing out that Byrd literally wrote the book on Senate rules and history.

For whatever reason, this year the local wildlife has been climbing up the steps to my bird feeding stations on my upper deck. Of course, my little Bichon and huge cat wake up and carry on when these robbers visit.
I am giving serious thought to discontinuing the feeders.
Besides the two grey squirrels, possums and racoons are regular visitors. Often, I see two to three does (deer) munching on the bushes belonging to me and my neighbors. I may put a gate at the top of the stairs, but would that really keep out the critters? I mean, hey, they are welcome to whatever they can find to eat, but I sure do resent being awakened during the night by my two 'watchdogs', who bark and hiss at the intruders. I meant to feed the birds that winter over. Instead I seem to be feeding and attracting larger furry critters.
Anyone else have this problem? And how do you handle it?
Follow-Up Postings:
Pondy looks like you are creating a Noahs' Arc in Wisconsin, what's next ; I see that you are missing, owls coyotes, and wolves . You could terminate the feediing, thus allowing your neighbors to get the midnight run from your invasion, or wait till they get tired of your bird food. |

You can make a small hole to push the reactors reverse flow tube through. Keep it in the bag.
On the back of the Chemi-Pure container it states that the product shouldnt be taken out of the mesh bag it comes in. I would like to use the Chemi-Pure in my TLF Phosban Reactor but was concerned because the container recommends that the media stays in bag.
Do you see any issues with removing it from the bag and using in the reactor?
God bless,
You can make a small hole to push the reactors reverse flow tube through. Keep it in the bag.
My current thread,
If we ignore the environment
maybe it will just go away....
The problem that comes to mind is that ChemiPure is very light weight and may be blown out of the reactor. If you're going to do it, set up in the sink with RO/DI so that you can experiment with the flow. Low flow is going to be necessary.
I think I can get it in the reactor without poking holes in the bag. I was going to run it with the phosphate removal media in the same reactor. Maybe I can somehow suspend the chemi pure above the phosban.
What's the gellatinous stuff in the chem-pure anyway? Is that why you shouldn't take it out of the mesh bag?
Thanks guys and God bless,
Woah! I didn't know this was a gel. I would not put that in the reactor. Tomorrow i will be going to a lfs to pick up my ca++ reactor so i will check this stuff out.
My current thread,
If we ignore the environment
maybe it will just go away....
It's a gel/carbon mix. The gel is somewhat damp when it comes out of the container. I have been using it for a while, just not in a reactor.
God Bless,
Job 11:13-20
I have never used chemipure so I do not know if it is too small or not.
Two Little Fishes phosban reactors have a sponge screen prior to and after the media so depending on the size of the chemi-pure, it may or may not be okay inside the reactor.

Here's what a website says about the resin in the chemi pure:
"You do not have to worry about Chemi-pure removing trace elements and being a problem. Chemi-pure does contain some carbon and will remove trace amounts of some elements, but not to the extent where you would see any significant effects on any levels in your aquarium...
...The ionic exchange resins used in Chemi-Pure, are designed for a specific purpose. They exchange with the alkali excess from the extremely strong activated carbons used in Chemi-Pure and produce a majority of negatively charged electrons (ions). They remove excess acids and replace them, in effect, with a time-release alkali. They also remove ammonia, but only the excess beyond that which will promote nitrification..."
The article states that if the media is removed from the bag, the absorbtion capacity of the resin/carbon is diminished (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts). They also claim that this stuff maintains the ionic balance of the aquarium and the advantages of doing so. Here's the link if you want to read the whole article.
God bless,
Job 11:13-20
I have been using chemipure (without the mesh bag) on my phosban reactor 150 for about 3 months, and it has worked better than simply dropping the mesh bag in the sump. Before adding it to the reactor, my sump would literally smell like caca lol. Now that the chemipure is in the reactor without the mesh bag, my tank has no smell to it whatsoever and the water is crystal clear blue.
Do keep one thing in mind if you are going to try this, I recommend you add the chemipure without the mesh bag to one reactor "only" and regulate the waterflow so that the top of the media dances a bit just like if adding phosban or rowaphos. If you want to use rowaphos or phosban, use a seperate reactor. I run 2 phosban 150's on my system, one with the chemipure and the other with rowaphos and I must say, I clean the glass once every 2 weeks or so with the use of both combinations.
I don't use it now but have (CPE) in the past in a Phosban reactor without the bags. CPE is Carbon (Black) and Ferric Oxide (Brown) mix. Mine never looked like gel. What I found was flow plays a big part on how long it last in the reactor. You want just enough flow into the reactor to make the material move. If you hit it hard, in a far shorter time the material hitting each other break down and you have a very fine power that gets thru the foam filters on either side of the reactor and it's a mess to clean. Good luck!

I've been working with ACADE for a while and this just started happening. I don't remember changing any settings or making any modifications to the way ACADE works, but when I select, say, a line, that intersects with a grip of another object (text, block, line, etc.), press M to move the line, and click/drag to move, the object that is touching the line I'm trying to move, moves with my selection.
This didn't happen before this week and I can't remember if I accidentally made changes to the options in ACADE.
It almost sounds like Scoot has been mapped to "M" shortcut key. This is done by editing the acad.pgp file. You can check it by going to
It is a text file that can be edtited to your heart's content.
I used to edit this heavily until the Right Mouse Context Sensitive Menu came out. Then I customized that.
(M)ove is an Autocad, not Autocad Electrcial command.
found the acad.pgp file and searched for the "M" alias and what command it was set to, which is *MOVE. I have little knowledge on this type of stuff, but this doesn't seem like it should be causing the issue I'm having. I also tried looking for the scoot command in the .pgp file and I couldn't find it anywhere. Also, ACADE isn't recognizing the scoot command if I type it into the command line.
You probably won't find any ACE commands in the .pgp file. It is not used as much now.
Most ACE commands are prefixed by "AE"
Scoot is AESCOOT.
Not really sure about what is causing what you are seeing. I am sorry I could not help futrther.
Are you sure that you are NOT moving a joined pline?
Here is an example of the issues I'm having. I took a screen capture of a window within ACADE so I could actually show whats happening instead of trying to explain it.
The two concentric circles in the center are a block, and each of the hexagons with the white lines protruding from opposite sides are blocks, so there are four blocks creating that "T" shape. The orange lines are just lines drawin using the "L" command.
Everything was put in place by selecting a hexogonal block, pressing "M" to move it, selecting the a handle at the end of one of the white lines as a base point to move, and selecting one of the verticies on the circle as the destination. When the three hexogonal blocks were in position, I added the orange lines connecting it to other parts of the DWG.
The video shows what happens when I try to rotate the four blocks about the center of the circle, effectively rotating them as a whole, so the "T" shape points upwards. When this happens, the orange line on the right gets moved to the top, but it's horizontal orientation remains constant. When trying to move the line to it's previous position, it moves the vertical line at the top as well as the hexogonal block at the top of the circle.
These issues didn't always happen. When I first installed ACADE and had been using it for over a year, doing these same commands would result in a different, but desired, outcome. Rotating the four blocks would only move the selected items, leaving the lines where they were.
I'm the only person who uses this computer and I don't think I've changed any of the settings within ACADE, so I don't know why this is happening.
