My Brush Collection...
This post is a topic of great interest to me. I've been doing extremely thorough brush research…everything from compiling side by side pics of comparable brushes, to excel tables, to hours of internet and in person research. We all know that brushes are extremely expensive and hard to come by. Moreover, finding a good brush is like finding the right bra. You can't just pick up any brush and expect it to do the job. Different brushes have different purposes and varying levels of quality. There are many factors including but not limited to: price, length, shedding, bleeding, softness, denseness, what kind of bristles, cut of bristles, etc. Over the last few months my brush collection went from under 10 to over 50. Most of my research was found on google, beauty blogs, and specktra. I've found a lot of cheap alternatives to good brushes and I'm planning on checking some out in the near future.
However at this time, I thought I'd show you my current collection of brushes. I organized them into category and I'll provide a brief blurb about each of them. I forgot to take pics of my eyebrow brushes: I use a mini one from Sonia Kashuk that I love...only problem is that it's too short that it doesn't stick out of my brush belt and I lose track of it frequently. I also sometimes use the brush that comes with L'Oreal HIP cream liner to do my eyebrows. Lastly, I have an ecotools brush-the kind with an eyebrow brush on one side and the eyelash comb on the other. Pretty basic, you can find these anywhere.
Dense Crease Brushes
These are what I call my dense crease brushes. From top to bottom we have a sonia kashuk and the bottom two are from Essence of Beauty. The pointed, dense brush is good for blending in the crease. I actually don't use these brushes too often except maybe the smaller ones to shadow the lower lashline. The larger crease brush is my fallback to when my MAC crease brushes are dirty. All these brushes were around $5.
Pencil Brushes
MAC 219 and Michael's Loew Cornell paint brush. I loveeeee my 219. It's perfect for creating an outer v shape, highlighting my tear duct, and providing color to my lower lashline. It's one of my fav's and it's super soft. I've tried to find similar ones but haven't found one as soft and dense. The Michael's version works but it's a little scratchy. I only use it once in a blue moon.
Large Shadow Blender
MAC 227: another one of my fav's! It has really compacted bristles that blend out any harsh line imaginable. I use it especially when I'm doing a bright eyeshadow look…I apply a highlight color and blend it into the crease color. I haven't tried any dupes but I've seen some similar ones online from Posh Brushes and one from Coastal Scents that I'd like to try.
Eyelash Brushes
Top brush is a spoolie brush from Sonia Kashuk. I often use this after I apply mascara to someone. When the mascara dries I'll take this clean brush and brush out any clumps. The next brush is from bed bath and beyond…it has the metal teeth to separate lashes…I've only used this a few times when I've had major clumping issues. I probably wouldn't use this on a client unless absolutely necessary because of the risk of getting too close to their eyes with the needle-like bristles.
Smudger Brushes
The top two are smudger brushes from essence of beauty. I think they came in a twin pack. They have rubber tips for blending out eyeliner and to achieve a smokey look. I honestly don't really use these…I'm not a huge fan of the eraser like rubber tip. Most of the eyelining I've done is usually a distinct line…I'm going to try and branch out to do more smudged eyeliner looks and hopefully this will come in handy. The bottom brush is a smudge brush from Lancome. Unlike the others, it has a small thin bristle head…I mainly use this for applying a thin layer of eyeshadow right onto the lower lashline—this works as an alternative of lining the waterline of sensitive eye clients.
Liner brushes
From Top to bottom:
1) thin liner brush from Michael's Loew Cornell
2) angled brush from Michael's Loew Cornell
3) straight edge brush from Lancome
4) Ecotools liner brush
I like using brush #1 exclusively for liquid liner. I take my Revlon Colorstay, tap some into a palette and dip this thin brush into it when I'm trying to not double dip on clients. I don't use the straight edge brush that much because it's not usually my preference. I do however use it to sometimes smooth out a line I made with pencil eyeliner. My fav for gel liners is the MAC 266. It creates a perfect winged eyeline. The ecotools and Michael's brush are just a little too thick. Sometimes I'll use them instead to fill in eyebrows. I haven't found a similar brush yet that is as thin as the 266.
Blending Brushes
Top to Bottom:
1) Michael's brush
6) Sonia Kashuk Blending Brush
I don't use the Michael's brush because it's too soft to really do any kind of blending. I use the 224 on clients who have larger eyes…usually to put a light color on their crease or on the browbone. It also works with really dark pigments so that the color doesn't go on too intensely to one particular area. The MAC 223 came out with the Raquel Welch Icon collection. I use it mainly as a crease blender but I like the MAC 222 better. The 222 fits more into my small eyeshape and the bristles are a little bit shorter so that I have more control of the brush. The MAC 217 is my all time fav for smoking out the outer V/outer crease. I use it nearly everyday. I bought the Sonia Kashuk as a backup to the 224. So far so good…I actually use it to apply cream concealer because it buffs it into the skin like a dream!
Angled eyeshadow brushes
Some people love these angled brushes but I use them occasionally. The top is a lancome brush and the bottom is the MAC 275. Sometimes I'll use it to blend the crease into the outer V. I've found that I'll use them more so to contour and blend the nose area.
Eyeshadow Brushes – Maxine's Mop Shaped
This is pretty much the most standard eyeshadow brush shape around. I always use these brushes when I'm applying color initially to my lid. The dense shape is perfect for packing on color as well as for blending one color into another. As you can see…I have several because I use so many different colors.
Top to Bottom
1) X-Large Michael's Loew Cornell Maxine Mop shape brush: I use this for contouring my nose
2) Large Michael's Loew Cornell Maxine Mop shape brush: this is great for quick all over lid color or for blending crease and highlight color…almost similar to the MAC 227 but not as dense
3) Two Medium Loew Cornell Maxine Mop shape brush: a great alternative to the MAC 239…I even like them a little better than the MAC brush. They're cheaper and work just as well!
4) Two Small Loew Cornell Maxine Mop shape brush: I love these tiny brushes to do rainbow eyes or to apply color to the lower lash line. These tiny brushes really come in handy for blending tight areas.
5) MAC 239: a holy grail to many…perfect for packing on color
6) Lancome brush: I don't use this one as often because the bristles are synthetic and don't pack on as much color
7) Sonia Kashuk brush: does the job but not as well as the Michael's or MAC brushes…the bristles are a little more flimsy
8) Two random brushes: these are throwbacks from back in the day when I didn't understand anything about brushes…probably from target…they do the job but they're a little flimsy.
Fan Brushes
Top two are from Michaels. They are perfect for combing out mascara clumps. I also really like them to apply mascara or fluidline to client's eyelashes. Sometimes it's hard to get at the base of lashes when you apply mascara on others. This is a popular trick used on many MUA's-load the fan with fluidline and paint it right on any parts that you missed with the mascara wand. The bottom brush is a typical fan brush used for brushing off fallout. It works really well for brushing off extra product off your face charts without smearing the pages. I don't remember where this brush is from.
Synthetic/Concealer brushes
1) and 2) From Michaels
4) MAC concealer brush
5) Essence of beauty concealer brush
These brushes all work equally well in my opinion. I'll interchange them all for using concealer, MAC paints, paint pots, etc. Remember-synthetic bristles work best with cream based products.
Lip brushes
Most lip brushes are the same to me…they all have the pointed flexible bristles that allow you to outline and spread the lip product. From top to bottom:
1) MAC lip brush
2) Michael's brush
3) Sephora lip brush
4) Elf brush
I don't use the MAC one that often because I don't like how it has the detachable part. You can pretty much find affordable lip brushes anywhere in my opinion.
Duo-Fibre Stippling Brushes
These are awesome for applying liquid foundation to create an airbrushed look. Conversely, it can be used to apply powder products such as high pigmented blushes sparingly. On top is my MAC 187…I use this all the time with my mineralized satinfinish foundation. The one below-I can't remember where it's from…but I got it online from one of the MMU companies. I've found that this one is better for applying powder products since the bristles aren't as dense as the MAC ones. There are a lot of similar ones out in the market but you have to test them for density and how well the bristles blend into each other.
Foundation Brushes
Top two are from Studio Tools from Target, under $5 each. I like using these for applying primer and moisturizer to clients. The MAC foundation brush is better to me for applying cream and liquid foundation because the bristles are a bit more dense and can really push product into the face. It is also larger which cuts down application time.
Powder brushes
Top two are from MAC…I use them for setting makeup with various powders such as my translucent setting powder on MSF natural. I like how they're soft and fluffy so they apply a light layer of makeup. The bottom came with my Bare Essentials MMU kit. It's not my fav…a little too short and scratchy. Washing and conditioning it has helped a little but I pretty much only use it if everything else is dirty.
Blush Brushes
Top to Bottom:
1) MAC contour brush: this is the ONLY brush I use to contour cheeksbones, jawline, etc. I use it with my sculpt and shape duo nearly everyday. I think Posh Brushes has a good dupe that I'm eager to try.
2) Eco Tools blush brush: this brush is super soft but I noticed it's better for applying a really light layer of blush or bronzer as opposed to concentrating it at the cheeks. It's most likely due to the larger shape of the dome as well as the synthetic bristles.
3) MAC blush brush: I love this brush…it's the perfect size to fit the apples of the cheeks…this is my main blush brush I use.
Buffing Brushes
Top is my pink coastal scents buffer brush. I heard various reviews about this brush, but I love it! It's super soft. I'm definitely going to order a back up for use on my clients. Its dense flat top has saved me several times when blush has gone on too vibrant. This brush softens and tones overdone blush or bronzer immediately. I think it's great for MMU as well. Sometimes when I don't feel like wearing foundation I'll just buff in my MSF natural with this brush and it goes on super smooth. The only con is that I noticed a few bristles poking out from the rest but I trimmed them with scissors and haven't run into that problem again. The other brush is a bare essentials Kabuki. I used to use this back when I was first learning to contour and I would need to buff out my mistakes. Now that I have the coastal scents brush I don't use this one anymore. Like the other BE brush, the bristles are scratchy and aren't compact enough to do any serious buffing. I could do without this one.
Stay tuned for my next Michael's brush haul entry. I got some good deals! If you have any questions, just let me know!

Skip to comments.Arthur Davis, Former Black Caucus Member, Switches to GOP
Posted on 05/30/2012 10:29:51 AM PDT by Justaham
Arthur Davis was first elected to Congress from Alabama in 2002. The Harvard Law School grad was quickly tapped as a rising star among Democrats. He became a Senior Whip for the caucus, co-chair the New Democrat Coalition and even headed up the Southern region for the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. His eight years in Congress showed him to be a thoughtful, independent and energetic member. Yesterday, he announced he is now a Republican.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
In the immortal words of Joey "Stand up Chuck" Biden, this is a BIG f'ng deal!
Awesome sauce. I wonder if Obama's newfound love of faggotry had any bearing on this decision.
Outstanding! Welcome,Mr Davis...let's all work to restore this nation's economy and its traditional moral structure.
I don't think that love was "newfound." Davis will now be subjected to vile attacks, be labeled an Uncle Tom, GOP "house n****r," and working on "Massa's plantation."
Unless he's added the letter "h" to his name, it's Artur Davis, not Arthur Davis.
I'm not kidding.
Just damn!
There's no up to Obama. The man is an embarassment to the country. He's represents everything contrary to what made America great. Anyone ought to be able to see that. Even before Obama's "coming out" most folks' gaydar had pegged.
What are you doing!!??? We can't welcome him - he's black!! You're going to do great harm to our "Conservatives are all racists" street cred!! /sarc.
" Davis will now be subjected to vile attacks, be labeled an Uncle Tom, GOP house n****r, and working on Massas plantation."
It won't work. Davis will just continue to expose the rat party as Marxist. They won't benefit from attacking him.
Arthur Davis, Former Black Caucus Member, Switches to GOP
RATS jumping the sinking ship!
Good for him. Now I wonder how long it will take Cory Booker to make the same change.
Yes, both are too liberal for my tastes, but if the Democrats start losing people like them it underscores how radical and statist the Democrats have become. (Besides both Ronald Reagan and John Stossel started out as liberals.)
A Response to Political Rumors Originally published in Official Artur Davis Tuesday May 29, 2012 by Artur Davis. While Ive gone to great lengths to keep this website a forum for ideas, and not a personal forum, I should say something about the various stories regarding my political future in Virginia, the state that has been my primary home since late December 2010. The short of it is this: I dont know and am nowhere near deciding. If I were to run, it would be as a Republican. And I am in the process of changing my voter registration from Alabama to Virginia, a development which likely does represent a closing of one chapter and perhaps the opening of another. As to the horse-race question that animated parts of the blogosphere, it is true that people whose judgment I value have asked me to weigh the prospect of running in one of the Northern Virginia congressional districts in 2014 or 2016, or alternatively, for a seat in the Virginia legislature in 2015. If that sounds imprecise, its a function of how uncertain political opportunities can beand if that sounds expedient, never lose sight of the fact that politics is not wishfulness, its the execution of a long, draining process to win votes and help and relationships while your adversaries are working just as hard to tear down the ground you build. I by no means underestimate the difficulty of putting together a campaign again, especially in a community to which I have no long-standing ties. I have a mountain of details to learn about this northern slice of Virginia and its aspirations, and given the many times I have advised would-be candidates to have a platform and a reason for serving, as opposed to a desire to hold an office, that learning curve is one I would take seriously. And the question of party label in what remains a two team enterprise? That, too, is no light decision on my part: cutting ties with an Alabama Democratic Party that has weakened and lost faith with more and more Alabamians every year is one thing; leaving a national party that has been the home for my political values for two decades is quite another. My personal library is still full of books on John and Robert Kennedy, and I have rarely talked about politics without trying to capture the noble things they stood for. I have also not forgotten that in my early thirties, the Democratic Party managed to engineer the last run of robust growth and expanded social mobility that we have enjoyed; and when the party was doing that work, it felt inclusive, vibrant, and open-minded. But parties change. As I told a reporter last week, this is not Bill Clintons Democratic Party (and he knows that even if he cant say it). If you have read this blog, and taken the time to look for a theme in the thousands of words (or free opposition research) contained in it, you see the imperfect musings of a voter who describes growth as a deeper problem than exaggerated inequality; who wants to radically reform the way we educate our children; who despises identity politics and the practice of speaking for groups and not one national interest; who knows that our current course on entitlements will eventually break our solvency and cause us to break promises to our most vulnerablethat is, if we dont start the hard work of fixing it. On the specifics, I have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again. I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured: frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the substance of a united country. You have also seen me write that faith institutions should not be compelled to violate their teachings because faith is a freedom, too. Youve read that in my view, the law cant continue to favor one race over another in offering hard-earned slots in colleges: America has changed, and we are now diverse enough that we dont need to accommodate a racial spoils system. And you know from these pages that I still think the way we have gone about mending the flaws in our healthcare system is the wrong wayit goes further than we need and costs more than we can bear. Taken together, these are hardly the enthusiasms of a Democrat circa 2012, and they wouldnt be defensible in a Democratic primary. But they are the thoughts and values of ten years of learning, and seeing things I once thought were true fall into disarray. So, if I were to leave the sidelines, it would be as a member of the Republican Party that is fighting the drift in this country in a way that comes closest to my way of thinking: wearing a Democratic label no longer matches what I know about my country and its possibilities. Full confession: you wont find in my columns a poll tested candidate who could satisfy a litmus test. Immigration is a classic example: I wince at the Obama Administrations efforts to tell states they cant say the word immigration in their state laws, and find it foolish when I hear their lawyers say that a local cop cant determine the legal status of a suspect validly in their custody. At the same time, I wince when I see Latinos who have a lawful right to be here have to dodge the glare of so-called self-deportation laws that look too uncomfortably like profiling. (Its a good thing Virginia hasnt gone that path). And while I havent written about the subject as much as I should have, I cant defend every break in our tax code, or every special interest set-aside, as a necessary tool of a free market. And I cant say every dollar spent on our weak and our marginal is a give-away: a just government is mindful of the places where prosperity never shines (and I give a lot of credit to an undisputed conservative, Mitch Daniels in Indiana, for saying so, and doing it at the nations leading conservative political caucus at that.) A voter and a columnist have all the freedom in the world to say these things; perhaps a candidate does, too. Should I ever cross that bridge again, I will be trusting voters more than ever (despite having seen how wrong they can get it!) to test ability more than rigid ideology, and to accept that experience changes minds (if it is so in our lives, why shouldnt it be so in our politics?) I might well decide that all of that is asking too much, and that party demands too much for a guy who doesnt fit a partisan caricature. Or I might someday not so far off say, Let the people decide. Stay tuned.
Geez, my eyes, qman!
This is a MAJOR blow to the demoRATs, especially given the fact that he is BLACK and was a member of the Black Caucus. No wonder it's being covered nonstop wall-wall by the mainstream media -- oh wait, guess it isn't. /s
In any case, this is a big deal. Wonder what made him flip over and leave the demoRAT plantation? I can guarantee you, his former "black" colleagues on the Black Caucus now hate him with more hatred than we can hardly imagine.
More importantly will he be a CONSERVATIVE, or just another Rino Repub?
Not sure whether this is a good or bad thing. The Republican party is already in decline. Will this accelerate that decline?
There, I finished it for him.
Back on topic, "Welcome to the party, pal!"
And they are *allowed* to infiltrate the GOP?
There really is no difference, is there?
.... can you trust an ex-Rat politician? ...
Depends whether he's a GOPe or a Tea man.
Hope he becomes a Mister Tea.
" he clearly is having a rethink of his parties communist party take over, for clearly the communists have take the democrat party over. "
Davis said he left for this reason.
"Rev" wright was right about one thing he said. The "chickens are coming home to roost,"
His eight years in Congress showed him to be a thoughtful, independent and energetic member.
Yep, those are the beggining signs alright. gateway signs to conservatism.
How long will it take for some idiot to post here, telling us that this switch is a very bad thing?
The guy's still confused. He believes that the democrat party of a generation ago is subtantially different than it is today. I reckon it depends on what you call a generation. A generation ago, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and Fortney Stark were in the congress and Bill Clinton was President. Yeah, those were the good ole days alright!
Paging Lt. Colonial West. Cover his back.
Ronald Reagan started-out as democrat, not as a liberal! There was a diffrence back then!
Has he revoked all the leftist ideology he supported for many years?
IOW, for example, is he just moving from MN or WY because they now get 15 ft of snow every other weekend instead of the 10 ft he was accustomed to when he moved there?
Has he stood up and stated that he now realizes that the Founders created an absolute document and that a "living" Constitution has no place in a Constitutional Republic?
Has he held up any of Mark L's books and said that he has had an epiphany?
A "no" to any of these questions means, to me, that we are just getting another RINO to deal with.
One of my concerns when Democrats change party affiliations is, does the defection express a true change of heart or merely the realization that in many ways the Republican Party is the Democrat Party of 2000.
This guy seems to understand core principles better than the Republican Party Elites. Wonder which party he'll be changing to next, when he gets a belly full of our idiots.
I am glad to see him express the views he has. Sounds like a stand up guy.
this happened when TSHTF for democraps under clintoon too
this is the first of many
and we lost our hold thanks to RINO's so we have to watch them carefully
A "yes" to the first question and a "no" to any of the last 3 questions means, to me, that we are just getting another RINO to deal with.
The Republican party has big problems.
However, "in decline" remains to be seen.
Compared to what?
Right now they hold the House. They are within striking distance of the Senate. Their nominee sorry as he is, is tied with Obama months out from the election.
The Republican party won HUGE all over this country in state and local elections last time out. I believe they took about 700 positions away from Democrats.
Just because some are disgruntled enough to switch to third parties, that does not mean that anecdotal behavior is going to be so statistically significant that it takes down the party.
Don't get me wrong. The party is fractured and people are extremely tense right now. And have been for several years.
But that is reflected more among a limited number of grass roots conservative activists than it is among Republicans as a whole.
It remains to be seen what will happen to this party.
This party with real problems, to be sure.
I'm sure this will be the lead story on the evening news tonight. :)
That's actually Artur Davis, not Arthur Davis.
Agreed. He was definitely the most intelligent and reasonable black congresscritter in Alabama, and a lot smarter than most of the white politicians down here.
Never did understand why he quit congress to run for governor...he never had a chance.
Mr. Artur Davis, Welcome home!!
"Ronald Reagan started-out as democrat, not as a liberal! There was a diffrence back then!"
He favored the New Deal and Roosevelt. He learned better. But unless you believe the New Deal was somehow . . . moderate . . . I'd say Reagan could be described as liberal.
That is not a rip on Reagan, btw — it is evidence of his ability to learn.
Of course the MSM will now start asking other CBC members everyday if they intend to join Davis in this important new shift in the political landscape!...not
Good for Artur ! He's a good guy.
I do hope that Col. West has or will work with him through this transition.
Good for Mr Davis. Unfortunately it won't be long until he figures out the people calling the shots in the GOP aren't about to fix anything either.
Before the real estate bubble burst, Mr Davis was one of the Reps in the boat with Franks. However, after videos like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPSDnGMzIdo his youtube Mr Davis was the only one who apologized for being so wrong.
I hope he's the stand-up guy he seems to be.
The worst of it is that now when he's in session, he's evidently no longer allowed to be black.

Emotional zealotry
Dina Butcher, Bismarck
Emotional zealotry trumped good governance on the reproductive rights issues. By not vetoing the bills sent to him, Gov. Jack Dalrymple avoided the wrath of the zealots who are intent on tearing the Republican party apart not to mention the cost they have imposed on we the taxpayers to defend the constitutionality of these overreaching laws.
The legislature by lacking the leadership necessary to not even have these bills reach the floor has also contributed to the RIP of the GOP in N.D. I am truly reeling that Jack signed all three and probably will be consistent with any others that cross his desk on this issue.
Well, in wanting an appropriation added for the defense of one of the three bills, with the likely unintended consequences these onerous bills will have on the medical community, I guess he could veto the expansion at the University of North Dakota Medical School and apply those funds to the attorney general for the long haul through the courts. Why not? Are we having trouble getting reproductive ob-gyn docs into rural areas now? Well, good luck rural North Dakota baby mamas from here on out! Be sure you get to the nearest "regional hospital" way before your due date.
Disappointed! Yes, I am. As a conservative Republican woman, I truly hoped for better, but we lose some and win some. As the ad goes, these bills not passing the constitutional muster millions of dollars! Forty-plus new faces in the House and 10 or 15 new senators without a super majority in either house priceless!

The Nemours Cardiac Center was designed, from the beginning, to focus entirely on caring for children with heart disease, from the simplest to the most complex conditions. We provide specialized, comprehensive, high-quality cardiovascular care for patients at every age and stage, from before birth through adolescence, with a family-centered approach.
At the Nemours Cardiac Center, we provide the full spectrum of pediatric cardiac care — everything a child with heart disease could need in a centralized location: heart surgery, catheterization and electrophysiology, cardiac critical care and anesthesia, outpatient cardiology, diagnostic testing, as well as fetal diagnosis and coordination of care for after delivery.
Our integrated model of care combines all critical cardiac disciplines into one department, creating high-quality care with a very clear mission.
When you put your child's heart in our hands it's a responsibility we take very seriously. Our focus — our mission — is to provide exceptional heart care with excellent outcomes, in an environment that puts you and your child at the center. Always.
Watch these videos to learn about the Nemours Cardiac Center — who we are, what we do and what our facility is like.
Learn About Our Cardiac Center Care
Here are just some of the reasons why you can feel confident about putting your child's heart in our hands:
Our outcomes and quality measures are among the best in the nation, giving infants and children with congenital and acquired heart conditions the best chance for a long, fulfilling life. Whether for ventricular septal defects, coarctation of the aorta or the most complex procedures such as the stage 1 Norwood procedure, our results meet or exceed the national benchmarks from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database.
Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, where the Nemours Cardiac Center is based, has earned an array of top honors:
Everyone in the Nemours Cardiac Center works as part of a team that specializes in diagnosing and treating children with heart problems. Many have worked together since the Cardiac Center opened. This specialization results in excellent outcomes across the full scope of pediatric cardiac disease, from the simple to the complex.
Our board-certified pediatric cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists and critical care physicians lead the Cardiac Center team that also includes physician assistants and advanced practice nurses (and so many more). Our team works together closely in the Cardiac Center, allowing for instantaneous communication, collaboration and rapid coordination of care for our patients.
The children we treat also have access to more than 30 other medical and surgical specialties at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children.
All of our inpatient care areas — including cardiac operating suites — are in close proximity and used exclusively for cardiac patients.
We specialize in complex congenital heart disease repair for children born with heart defects. We have the clinical expertise and experience, comprehensive care team, facility and advanced equipment necessary to care for the most fragile and the youngest patients early on — right when it matters most. In fact, 2 out of 3 surgical patients are infants less than a year old.
Through our collaboration with the Nemours Partners in Perinatal Management Program, we work with expectant parents to diagnose fetal congenital heart disease in the womb (as early as the 18th week of pregnancy).
This helps us give newborns with congenital heart defects the best chance at a good outcome, from the start.
Easily accessible from anywhere in the region, the Nemours Cardiac Center also brings our quality care to neighborhoods near you. Our physicians offer their expertise to outpatient clinics and collaborating hospitals throughout the Delaware Valley (Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey) — giving your child high-quality cardiac care when and where you need it.
Children with heart abnormalities are, after all, regular kids who may need regular kid procedures such as ear tubes and tonsillectomies, hernia repairs, eye surgery, treatment of broken bones, MRI tests, etc. The Nemours Cardiac Center anesthesiologists are available to provide anesthesia or sedation for these procedures, using their knowledge and experience to provide the special care that children with heart conditions need. Our "surgical home" program allows you, your child's surgeon or other specialist doctor to contact our cardiac anesthesia scheduler who will take it from there, coordinating:
All of the before- and after-procedure care takes place within the Nemours Cardiac Center by the cardiac center nurses, therapists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who are experts with cardiac patients and, in many cases, are familiar faces to our patients and families.
It's not just our achievements and awards that set us apart — it's about "family-centered care" and the connections we make with every child and every family we meet. Our patients and families often tell us how our Cardiac Center nurses, doctors and other staff quickly became like family to them. And they're like family to us. We know you've entrusted us with your child's heart — we take that responsibility very seriously. We consider you a part of our team, and we will care for your child like we would our own.
The Nemours Cardiac Center was designed, from the beginning, to focus on the care of children with heart disease. That singular focus by everyone within the Cardiac Center is evident in both our outcomes and in the satisfaction of our patients and their families. We take great pride in our results and the comprehensive, dedicated cardiac care we provide.
Every member of our dedicated team of pediatric cardiac specialists is focused on and specializes in taking care of children with heart disease. This specialization results in excellent outcomes across the spectrum of pediatric cardiac disease.
The Nemours Cardiac Center has been an active participant in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Congenital Heart Surgery Database (CHSD) since 2005, and ranks among the best institutions for risk-adjusted outcomes (where the results take into account the complexity of the heart operation and the weight and age of infants).
In addition, a first-of-its-kind report on pediatric and congenital heart surgery released by the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4) shows that the Nemours Cardiac Center is a regional leader for surgical outcomes for children with congenital heart defects. We voluntarily participate in the PHC4 public reporting because we're committed to transparency — being open and honest about our outcomes data. Learn More »
Based on historical data from their Congenital Heart Surgery Databases and the expected outcomes for children with different types of congenital heart disease, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgeons (EACTS) place congenital heart procedures into five categories, known as "STAT categories" or the "STAT score."
The STAT score is a way of dividing procedures by how complex or risky they are. "Category 1" procedures are the lower-risk and the risk increases as the category number increases (with "Category 5" being the highest-risk procedures). It's expected that procedures with higher STAT scores will have higher risks and lower survival.
At the Nemours Cardiac Center, we frequently perform highly complex congenital heart surgery. Approximately 30 percent of the procedures we perform are classified in the two highest-risk STAT categories. This compares to only 24 percent among all heart surgery centers reporting data to the STS-Congenital Heart Surgery Database.
With a single operation in early infancy, we offer surgical repair for many heart abnormalities (including ventricular septal defects, truncus arteriosus, atrioventricular canal defects, tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great arteries). If necessary, we can provide extracorporeal life support (ECMO), ventricular assist device implantation and heart transplantation.
It's often the tiniest hearts that need the most help — and as soon as possible. From 2011 through 2014, we had 427 surgical admissions of newborns and infants. Our experience with congenital (present at birth) heart disease in newborns and infants shows in our results. More than half of the patients we operate on are less than a year old.
We perform all surgical procedures, from the most straightforward to the most complicated. In this birth to 12 months age group, our outcomes meet or exceed benchmarks from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Congenital Heart Surgery Database (CHSD).
From 2011 through 2014, our overall result for newborns and infants combined was 94.3 percent survival (or 5.7 percent mortality), versus 93.5 percent (or 6.5 percent mortality) for the national expected rate based on risk-adjustment (looking at a baby's age and birth weight) from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Congenital Heart Surgery Database (CHSD). In infants (not including newborns) our mortality rate during that same time period was 2.6 percent (compared to the higher national rate of 2.9 percent). Our goal is to give babies the best chance at a healthy future.
At the Nemours Cardiac Center, we have a high overall survival rate for pediatric heart surgery of 96.3 percent — placing us on par with all hospitals reporting data to the Society for Thoracic Surgeons (STS).
(Benchmark procedures are a set of defined procedures which allow for the comparison of similar cases across institutions.)
(Lesion-specific describes the mortality of patients presenting with a specific diagnosis.)
At the Nemours Cardiac Center, we want to help all of the children we treat live — and enjoy a happy, fulfilling life.
For the surgical repair of isolated, solitary ventricular septal defects (VSDs), one of the most-commonly performed procedures, the Nemours Cardiac Center had low complication rates and high operative survival among all patients. Sometimes referred to as "a hole in the heart," a VSD is the most common congenital (present at birth) heart defect.
None of our VSD patients from 2011 through 2014 required a permanent pacemaker (0 percent), compared to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons' national benchmark rate of 1 percent.
At the Nemours Cardiac Center, our experienced pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists work only in the Nemours Cardiac Center and provide all of our patients' anesthesia care for both heart surgery and any other procedures. This specialization and dedication exclusively to our cardiac patients makes our anesthesia-related complications very low. Our anesthesia-related complication rate of 1.1 percent is below the 1.9 percent incidence of problems reported in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons' anesthesiology report.
It's been shown that one of the most important ways to avoid infections in surgical incisions is by giving an antibiotic at exactly the right time before surgery. Nemours Cardiac Center anesthesiologists and surgeons working together have accomplished this 100 percent of the time for the past four years. And the occurrence of a surgical site infection in the Nemours Cardiac Center has been less than 1.5 percent for that same timeframe.
The number of complications that occur during cardiac catheterization at the Nemours Cardiac Center is well below the 10.3 percent rate that's reported by the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR), IMPACT Registry for 2014 for other pediatric heart catheterization sites across the country. In fact, 98 percent of our catheterization procedures have no complications at all. Our serious complication rate is less than 0.5 percent — and we've had no deaths related to cardiac catheterization at the Nemours Cardiac Center.
Diagnostic cardiac catheterizations are done to get detailed information about the function of the heart. These procedures are performed for children whose heart function allows them to live and play normally, but also for those who are very ill and hospitalized due to their heart problem. The overall complication rate for diagnostic catheterizations at the Nemours Cardiac Center for the past four years was less than 2 percent.
Interventional catheterizations where we perform a procedure to close an abnormal connection or enlarge a narrowed vessel or valve are considered higher risk. The Nemours Cardiac Center's complication rate for interventional catheterizations is, again, much lower than that reported for other centers — 1.5 percent overall and less than 1 percent with a serious complication.
Our catheterization lab team performed 58 heart biopsies for our cardiac transplant patients with zero complications.
Electrophysiology (EP) studies for treatment of heart rhythm problems involve the placement of several catheters into the heart for diagnosing and possibly treating the abnormal rhythm. Our complication rate for these procedures is low, occurring in only 1 of 300 patients in the past four years.
Cardiac catheterization procedures make use of fluoroscopy (special moving X-ray pictures) to follow the catheters in the heart and make pictures of the heart and blood vessels. There's evidence that excessive exposure to X-rays at a young age may be associated with later health problems including some cancers.
At the Nemours Cardiac Center, our interventional cardiologist uses the absolute minimum of X- ray time. Fluoroscopy times during closure of an atrial septal defect (a hole between two collecting chambers) and closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (an abnormal connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery) are considerably less than the times reported in the American College of Cardiology's IMPACT Registry of pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures.
Our catheterization and electrophysiology cardiologists understand the importance of making data available to the family and other medical providers who are caring for children with heart disease. Our doctors enter preliminary data into each child's computerized medical record immediately after the procedure and make the full report available within the child's medical record 100 percent of the time.
Caring for a child with a heart problem can be very stressful for families. At the Nemours Cardiac Center, we strive to make this journey as easy as possible by offering accommodations and support for both you and your child that will make your stay as comfortable as possible. We focus on your physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs so you can focus on helping your child get well.
Our patients and families say that the extra care and personal attention they receive from the entire Nemours Cardiac Center team has helped them get through this trying time. They also often tell us how our nurses, doctors and other staff quickly became like family to them.
Parents and family are an essential part of the healing process and we encourage them to participate actively in the care of children within the Cardiac Center. After all, no one knows your child better than you do. That's why the Nemours Cardiac Center has been a pioneer in something called, "family-centered care," which emphasizes collaboration with patients and their families.
Families who've walked in your shoes may be a source of comfort and information. We also can put you in touch with others who are willing to share their experiences to help offer some insights and support during your child's diagnosis and treatment.
Providing the right environment and support for our patients and their families is a critical part of successful outcomes. We closely follow measures of patient and family satisfaction to identify areas for improvement and ensure that we're doing everything we can to put our patients and families at ease.
In 2013 surveys, 100 percent of our Nemours Cardiac Center patients said they would recommend our hospital. And 85 to 90 percent rank us in the highest category in Press Ganey patient satisfaction surveys.

"We were extremely pleased with our experience at the hospital and feel blessed to have it in Delaware. The doctors, nurses and staff are all first-rate."
"We had wonderful experiences. [The doctors] all coordinated their care to ensure that our son was stabilized as quickly and painlessly as possible. We are following up with our cardiologist and could not be more pleased with his skill level and kind manner."
"All of the nurses who cared for our son were extremely skilled and friendly."
"I can't say it enough. The staff and doctor who took care of my son were outstanding. What a fantastic group of people. And I mean all the servers, the custodians, nurses and doctors — TOP NOTCH!"
"How can I put in words the care received? All I can say is, 'You have the best!' They work together to give everything they can — each helping the other."
"Every nurse my son encountered was over the TOP."
"The level of care and concern was outstanding."
"The doctors never rush us during our appointment. They are both very knowledgeable and show their genuine concern for my daughter and her care."
"I love the cardiac clinic. The staff makes our family feel like their family. They are always friendly and keep me informed of care to be expected."
Sometimes the best support and peace of mind comes from fellow families who've been there. Read these uplifting stories about our Nemours Cardiac Center patients and families who understand what it's like to have a congenital heart defect or other heart condition. Share these with your child and your whole family to help them understand what to expect — and to know you're not alone.

Ear infections in cats are not as common as they are in dogs, so an owner may not recognize the signs as readily. Typically, a cat with an ear infection will frequently paw at and draw attention to the affected region, which is a sign the owner should seek the opinion of a veterinarian.
Most ear infections in dogs are caused by bacteria or yeast, and while these harmful organisms can affect cat ears, ear mites in cats are the most common cause of ear infections in cats. In fact, next to fleas, ear mites are the second most common parasite in cats. Thus, those who have owned a cat for a while may have seen ear mites in the past and known they need ear drops to be treated.
Common clinical signs of both ear mites and ear infections include shaking of the head, pawing at the ear, a black or yellow discharge, and a red inflamed ear that may give off an offensive odor. Officially diagnosing an ear infection will be up to your vet. Depending on the cause of the infection, the veterinarian will recommend treatment options for your sick cat.
Rather than simply buying ear drops for the cat or using the same medication you had when the cat was treated with ear mites before, you should always see a veterinarian when suspecting ear issues with a cat. This is because the cat medication prescribed to treat ear mites and infections are actually quite different. If a bacterial infection has developed with the ear mites, it may require more than one ear drop or another type of medication altogether to be effectively treated. If ear mites are the problem, you will also need to treat all other household pets in order to successfully treat the problem.
Cat owners should take all ear issues seriously and see a veterinarian as soon as possible if they believe their feline is developing issues in the ear. Cats that have recurrence of ear-related problems may be suffering from a more significant problem such as a deformity in the shape of their ear or a polyp or growth within the ear.

New York: On September 25, 2012, President Obama astonished many Americans by declaring, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." This is a sentiment espoused by radical Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Taliban and al Qaeda. Worse yet, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, revealed the lengths to which the Obama administration is prepared to go to enforce this view when she told the family of a former SEAL killed last month in Benghazi that the producer of a video she falsely claimed precipitated that attack would be "arrested and prosecuted." He was subsequently taken into custody and remains in jail.
Now, a powerful documentary entitled "Silent Conquest" explains why these affronts to the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of freedom of speech are not isolated incidents. Rather, they are part of an ominous pattern of Team Obama's submission to the stealthy Islamist effort to enforce in this country the supremacist doctrine known as shariah and its prohibition of any expression that "offends" Islam or its god, prophet or followers.
The film features interviews with U.S. and foreign legislators, journalists, national security and other experts and Muslim, former Muslim and non-Muslim activists…
"Silent Conquest" offers a frightening insight into the extent to which Europe, Canada and the United Nations have already succumbed to the restrictions of shariah blasphemy laws. Its stark warning about the Obama administration's substantial efforts to accommodate them here, as well, is a wake-up call for every American.
The documentary was produced by Sanctum Enterprises, LLC.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (143 votes).
In short: Missing this race already!!Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Downhills that make you feel like a kid again!In full: What a fantastic race. Impeccable organisation, a genuine challenge and fantastic Marshall support from beginning to end. The course is tough, but if you train well and give it the respect it deserves you will have a great time. Managed to break 2:50 at my first attempt, you can guarantee I will be back next year to try and better it! Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Faultless organisation, beautiful scenery, a real challenge to runDate of review: June 24, 2013
In short: An organisational masterpiece through beautiful countryside, but not for the faint hearted.In full: A really testing course with the super steep downhills doing as much damage as the uphills. Has a bit of everything, road, lane, trail, field, forest and orchard but never seemed to flatten out. The marshalls were excellent, numerous and popped up in the most remote of places. The water stations were great and very social. Running into a very stiff headwind for the last exposed 3km was soul destroying with these aching limbs and this weary mind striving for the sub 3hr mark but the finish appeared from behind a hedge and there was everything one could want. Music, water, oranges, showers and a great big goody bag. Everyone must do this race.Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Here's to the next 30 years of the race!In full: Super race - nice mix of open views and woodland, and no two kilometres the same, so it stays interesting. Excellent organisation - super marshals and route marking, and it was great to have markers every km. The sold-out 600 capacity meant it felt buzzy but not too big. Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Very well organised, Great Scenery, but not to be taken lightlyIn full: This is an unusual race which you cannot compare to any other race in distance and the nature of the course and the elevation, which maxes out about 580ft.I'm luckily enough to live local to this race and have trained on most of the course before the day, however I still found it very challenging. The whole race was very well organised and there were some many nice touches, such as free tea and cakes to all runners at the finish. I was also very pleased with my T-shirt, medal and goody bag which included a very nice Towel. My hat goes off to the organizers, it must take a lot of effort to organize a race of this magnitude. There were so many obstacles, styles and a few crossings which were all marshaled incredibly well. Also having followed the race's facebook page I was kept updated daily leading up to the race about the course conditions, which was very helpful.If you are up for a challenge this race is for you, but I recommend that you include some hill training beforehand.Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: OUTSTANDING EVENTIn full: This really is an outstanding event. In my opinion, the thing that really sets it apart is the atmosphere. From the minute you sign up to this you feel part of something special. The facebook page is busy and fun; the organisation was first rate; and the marshals were the best BY FAR that I've ever seen. So friendly and encouraging! You even get encouraging spectators which is unusual for a trail race.The course itself is challenging but not overly so. For me the hardest part was the final 6k or so which included a few climbs that I probably should have kept a bit more in the tank for. The headwind down the final straight was also rather tough!All in all a genuinely special event that everyone should have a crack at.Amazing! Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Fantastic EventIn full: A great race, thanks and congratulations to the organisers. Scenery is spectacular if you can look up and take it in. Course is tough but don't be put off - just approach it with respect.Special thanks to the marshalls and water station helpers, especially the chaps offering beers (!) and those handing out jelly babies, energy drinks and spraying us with the garden hose - bliss!Will definately enter for next year and train a bit harder for it.Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: The best race i'v done to date!!In full: The furthest and hardest race i'v run to date,but I can honestly say I loved every minute of it!!,they were right,the scenery definatly takes your mind off of whats around the corner!!From the organization,the happy Marshall's around the route,right down to the goody bag,I was really impressed,if you haven't run this race already,it's a must!!Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Great race, excellently runIn full: Hard but not impossible race. Don't be put off by the hills if you want to do this, the big one is very steep but shortlived otherwise the course is undulating. Great Marshalling and lovely atmosphere at the finish.Date of review: June 24, 2013

Topic: redesign instead of refactoring
Hi folks!
I have a general question for the re-design of a running application.
I think you all know the situation, when refactoring would be much more complicated than an elegant redesign. I my situation, I need an improvement of my very first rails-app.
How do you do this with data-models and their migrations? I have a bunch of migrations in the old app, to create the models. In the new one, I'll make some improvements to the data-models (e.g. split one table into two tables, when seperating a model). But I have to use the old production-data and therefore I have to modify them.
Should I write a rake-task, to perform this action *once*, or take the old schema.rb as the origin of my new app and write the migrations based on the old schema?
If anyone of you has some experience on this topic, please let me know, how you did it. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Kind regards,

Have you had enough of a break from the "Shit X Says" meme? Good, because here's "Shit Lana Del Rey Says". Comedian, actor, director, YouTuber and celebrity impersonator Charlie Hides has made something of a career out of ripping it out of famous ladies, doing awesome Cher, Madonna and Lady Gaga impressions, but his Lana Del Rey knock off takes the cake, getting her monotone drawl down pat. It's strangely mesmerizing and includes lines like, "I really love vintage film, like really old stuff from the 1990s". Eat this.
