©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Emerging Trends in Cocktails Emerging Trends in Cocktails
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 A great time for trendsetting Todays bar and cocktail scene is in a vibrant state of reinvention, creating the opportunity to attract new guests, adapt to the changing climate, and create new and exciting cocktails to fit virtually any concept. Well cover: Seasonality: green/fresh/organic cocktails Wine and Beer Cocktails Golden Era and historic cocktails Savory Ingredients… does bacon belong in your cocktail? Keeping favorites updated and fresh. Incorporation w/o alienation
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Know who your creating for. Comfort-zone drinker: Stick with more familiar drinks; lemondrops, margaritas, cosmos and mojitos. Developing for this drinker means keeping it familiar – but incorporating new and interesting flavors and products. Adventurous drinker: Educated in their cocktails and willing to experiment. They want to be challenged. Engage them with a classic cocktail, top- shelf flights, or creative fresh ideas. Training bartenders is critical in attracting these drinkers. You must develop for 2 styles of drinker…
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Keeping it Local & Going Green Seasonality: Keep bar menus hot with drinks that change with the season. Fresh Queue: Use fresh garnishes during peak season. Buy Local: Support the new breed of Micro- Distilleries in your region by showcasing a small batch distiller from your neck of the woods in a cocktail. Organic Spirits: Some spirit companies are going organic. Good for the mind and the spirit: using blends of super fruits (acia, cranberry, blueberry, pomegranate) with fresh juices make power packed good for you cocktails.
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Wine and beer Cheladas- Beer for those that "don't drink beer. This is a new category of beer-like beverages with great "non- sweet" but unique flavor profiles. "Training Wheel" cocktails –half and half gin/vodka martinis, for the gin naysayer; twisted up manhattans with sweeter liquors being added. Champagne Cocktails- a great holiday and brunch choice, but bubbly is being added to all kinds of drinks to give it an effervescent kick. Bubbles are BIG in cocktails. Wine Floats- add an interactive component with a wine float to a multitude of cocktails. Also unique Sangrias are on the rise – especially white….
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Classic Cocktails - Contemporary Innovation Whats classic is cool again: Bartenders have become cocktail historians as the spirit world experiences a renaissance in Golden Era cocktails. Bitters have made a real comeback as menus move into spirit-forward and classic recipes. Antique recipes and lost spirits are being found and re-introduced..i.e.: rye, old tom gin… Bars are resurrecting the embodiment of a classic period in cocktail history, in service, dress, glass wear (small/tulip shapes) and ambiance, without appearing gimmicky. Classic bar techniques are being adapted to a modern menu and treated with a great deal of respect. Mirroring the long training of a Chef or Sommelier.
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Clover Club Cocktail The Clover Club Cocktail is the perfect example of a pre-prohibition cocktail. –its name comes from the Philadelphia mens club by that name and was created at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. Its the kind of drink that lures in gin squeamish drinkers. –When faced with gin drinks, most people assume that this juniper heavy spirit will be reminiscent of pine needles, with the Clover Club Cocktail however, this is not the case. You could easily serve this to a gin-averse friend, and they would never be the wiser. A handsome drink for Ladies and Gentlemen. –Its pink hue once threatened to cast it off as a ladies drink, but its richness and complexity makes it a great cocktail for both men and women and a great introduction to pre-prohibition drinks for customers who shy away from spirit-forward drinks.
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Classic Cocktails - Contemporary Innovation Whats old is now new: Todays Cocktail Lounge is a juxtaposition of classic style and modern science. Molecular Mixology; the newest trend in the cocktail world is all science but some of it is steeped in tradition. Foams: breath new life into fruit flavors and texture, but its texture is based on flips and sours that contain frothy shaken egg white. Pearls or Spherification: use coagulants to create semi-solid drops of liquor or fruit. Also adding texture and bursts of flavor. Fat- wash, Flame and Freezing: fats add body and flavor.. I.e. the bacon washing liquor technique. Flame is used to bring out smoke or caramelize natural sugars and extrude the natural oils in herbs.. I.e. flaming rosemary in a glass before making a drink. Liquid nitrogen is often seen these days for making quickie frozen table side drinks. Nitrous Oxide NO2 is used to add bubbles and fizz.. for fizzing your foams or even your garnishes.
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Non-Alcoholic drinks are HOT! ….Offering more than Strawberry Lemonade A virtually untapped market, Bars and Restaurants are adding exciting N/A offerings focusing on flavor. Innovations in syrups, mixers and juices expand the ingredients base for exciting mocktails, teas, and fruit blends. This is another area that is great to extend green and seasonal cocktails to. Mom-tini: a new trend with mothers and mothers-to-be being offered. Sparkling drinks, fruit and vitamin packed cocktails. House-made Sodas: More places are crafting their own carbonated blends to create grown-up sodas or to include children into the bar menu. Pure cane sodas appeal to anyone concerned with High Fructose Corn Syrup and are great for the bottom line! Energy Drinks: either added into cocktails or served as nutritional drinks, energy drinks are still on the rise, while low sugar non-crash options are most popular. Try making your own signature energy drink.
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Herbs: Sage- dusky, good with tequila, Thyme –excellent with fruit, Cilantro –add to mojitos for an herbal flavor Basil – great with strawberry, cherry Rosemary- adds dry essence to cocktails Lavender – on the hipster scene Veggies: Cucumber –dry crisp flavor, hot in drinks; both alcoholic and N/A, easily available Bell peppers – drinks made with these get a lot of ink, works with vanilla vodka and citrus Chilies – sublime with mango and tropical, hard to mange strength of heat Pumpkin – Fall flavor, musky, and sweet; Savories: Spices - cardamom, coriander, curry The Meat Craze – bacon, bacon, ham, salumi Fun: Bubble Gum Cotton Candy Nostalgic - sassafras, root beer, Fanta flavors Bringing the Kitchen into the bar:
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Fresh Fruit: look for a little something different Fruits: High quality fruit purees and syrups such as those by Monin allow you to dream up super-creative cocktails that location, seasonality and operational issues wouldnt. Pomegranate – makes anything sell – a trend gone mainstream Ginger mixed with fruit – tasty and earthy Hibiscus Flower – bright color and tart cranberry taste Pear – for its dry crispness and goes great with warm spices Elderflower – top newcomer; floral character –good with cucumber Tangerine – the new orange Super fruit – good for you & mixable properties Tropicals- mixed with traditional sell well with gen x&y – tiki is hot Yuzu – the new lemon/lime Sour Cherry – tart and tangy
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Sweet Innovation Sweeteners: Infused and flavored syrups – chipotle, lavender, cardamom, open up a world of flavor options Rimmers- give cocktails an extra burst of flavor and color, with flavored sugar. Honey syrups – easy to make, unique flavor, good menu merchandising.- especially with local honey! Molasses syrups –with rum or brown liquor or cocktails with a southern flair. Agave nectar – or agave syrup, a healthier and richer substitution to sugar syrup. The new it sweetener. Pomegranate molasses- Economical exotic new flavor for adding pop to cocktails. Shrubs, homemade infusions- seen more in the upscale cocktail scene. Bars are making their own grenadines, tinctures and syrups for super innovative flavor combinations.
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Spirit Trends: Brown spirits: making there way towards women and younger drinkers – i.e.: (Ri)1 Gin: the comeback kid – used extensively in classic cocktails; the new "cocktail geek" Vodkas: still king/queen of spirits, but we are seeing new attention to flavors, distillation processes. Wine and Beer: creating cocktails with wine or beer as the spirit; chelada, sangrias, champagne cocktails. Tea: liquors to infusions! Making its way.. slowly Archival spirits: finding rare or lost recipes or spirits and bringing them back. Classic Cocktails: Fizzes, Brambles, Punches, Clover Clubs, Manhattans and the incorporation of golden era spirits and bitters. Celebrity Sponsorship: Like shoes and clothing, celebrity sponsorship drives sales. Celebrities are using spirits as a branding opportunity. Alternative Bartending Techniques: molecular mixology, flair,
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 Cultural trends: Speakeasies, Lounges and Cocktail Clubs are reviving the American Cocktail, and have spawned a new generation of bartenders dedicated to the integrity of the craft. Social Networking: Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare with the ability to create viral buzz cocktailers, bars and nightclubs use social media to engage customers, with live twitter feeds in bars, cocktail clubs, hosting events, and keeping clients informed of special menus. Eating out at the bar. Guests are eating and drinking at the bar these days, restaurants and bars offer extended bar menus and special drink and food offerings. From small plates … now to small drinks.. the trend is sharing and enjoying a variety of different options.
©Kathy Casey Food Studios ® Liquid Kitchen 2010 How to Incorporate New Trends into your concept. A Margarita Experiment - Fresh, Ultra Fresh or Mix? Margarita - Mix Made with Commercial Sour 1 st taste alone Squeeze in lime wedge to add a fresh citrus pop Margarita- Fresh Made with purchased fresh lime juice and pure cane syrup Margarita- Fresh Premium Made with fresh squeezed lime, organic agave nectar Then get creative and add pineapple pico!

If you need help, I can do one of the eras. If you do split the eras, how about you give total control to whomever is doing that era, so it's a surprise to you? Just a thought.
I will say on a player like Robin Yount, since we're doing Shortstops...he could very appear on both SS and OF lists...he won an MVP at each position.

NRL officials will not consider any changes to the sin binning rules after Manly were forced to play a man down for 10 minutes following the dismissal of prop Josh Starling for a punch thrown in retaliation for a chicken wing tackle by Canterbury forward Josh Jackson in Saturday night's semi-final clash at Allianz Stadium.
The tackle will come under scrutiny from the NRL match review committee on Monday. If charged, Jackson is set to miss next Saturday night's preliminary final against Penrith at ANZ Stadium, as he has 20 per cent loading and 67 carryover points from a grade one tripping offence in round 19.
However, many feel that the Sea Eagles have paid a heavier price for the incident as they were forced to play a man short for 10 minutes at a time in the first half when they trailed 16-0 before eventually going down 18-17 in extra time.
Manly coach Geoff Toovey described the rule as "ridiculous", while former greats Andrew Johns, Brad Fittler, Darren Lockyer and Peter Sterling were all critical of the NRL edict requiring referees to sin bin any player who throws a punch.
"I just think when a chicken wing is deemed less serious than the punches, I think that is a concern based on what I saw last night," Sterling told Channel Nine's Sunday Footy Show.
But NRL head of football Todd Greenberg said all players were aware before they took the field of the consequences of throwing a punch, and retaliation was no excuse.
"The rule is simple: if you throw a punch you will be sent to the sin bin," Greenberg said. "There is no ambiguity on this one and no discretion.
"Retaliating is not an excuse. Players know the consequences. We have no plans to consider any changes."
Starling said he was left feeling "awkward" and "vulnerable" in the tackle by Jackson, but admitted he had "overreacted" by throwing the ball at the Canterbury second-rower before other players came racing in.
However, he feels it was unjust that a punch could be considered worse by the on-field officials.
"It's one of those rules you don't understand too well, but you've got to get on with it," Starling told AAP.
"It's the first time I've had [a chicken wing]. It does feel awkward and you do feel pretty vulnerable about what's going to happen ... but I probably overreacted a bit.
"You don't want to see him rubbed out for the finals series. He's a good player and a crucial player in their team, so hopefully he's all right. I'm fine with it. Hopefully he should be too. You shake hands and move on."
Bulldogs interchange forward Reni Maitua was sin binned late in the match for another punch but the victim, Manly's James Hasson, said he had to use great discipline not to also throw his fists.
"To be honest, I would have liked the boys to let a few go, but that's just the game these days and that's why I couldn't throw any," Hasson said. "I'd like to see play on, no sin bins."
Toovey told Saturday night's post-match press conference: "The whole thing is ridiculous, we all know that. Nothing is going to change. A bloke can ... arm bar a bloke and not get 10 minutes. The whole thing is out of control."
However, his Canterbury counterpart, Des Hasler, who suggested Jackson would escape charge by the match review committee, said the decision by on-field officials Gerard Sutton and Ben Cummins to sin bin Starling and Maitua should remind players not to throw punches in the remaining finals matches.
"It's within the rules," Hasler said of the sin binnings. "Always in the heat of the battle players forget [the automatic punch and sin bin rule]. It serves as a warning."

ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS WORLD SERVICE ORGANIZATION (ACA WSO) MONTHLY TELECONFERENCE MINUTES February 11, 2012; 11 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. PST (UTC -8)Opened with Serenity Prayer
Roll Call:
1. Board members present: George S., Chair; Scott R., Vice-Chair; Jeneane S., Treasurer; Joan B., Secretary; Larry A.
2. A quorum established. Yes.
3. Committee Chairs: Phyllis R., Omer G., DiAnne A., Joan B., George S., Scott
4. Introduction of guests: Mona, Chicago; Susan, NY; Ann, NY; Karen, TN; Leann, FL.
Scott moved and Jeneane seconded approval of the January 2012 ACA/WSO Teleconference minutes.
The Board proceeded to the Motions due to Jeneane S, Board Member and Treasurer, being unable to stay through the entire meeting.
Motion1: That the ACA WSO take ownership of domain names listed here to protect the ACA name and for future possible use by the Board. (Omer G.)
Discussion: Jeneane disagreed with the motion as stated. After much discussion, in which it was noted that only the ACA logo is trademarked and there is an anti-dilution law in effect to give us some protection, a new motion was given: to hold off action on the domain names owned by the Fellowship until the ABC in April, where it will be further discussed. The domain names Omer owns will be combined for now with the others the ACA Board owns through GoDaddy. Later discussion will determine which domain names to renew ownership of. Jeneane seconded this new motion, which had unanimous approval.
Motion 2: To have a Legal Consultant to ensure non-profit/exempt organization compliance. (Larry A.)
Discussion: No Second on this motion. Lack of discussion. Motion dropped.
Motion 3: Board consideration of budgeting $250 a month to raise the funds ($15,000) for an audit once every 5 or 10 years. (Larry A.)
Discussion: Scott suggested continuing with compilations as currently using. Discussion indicated most Board members felt this was a good idea to budget the funds for an audit. A Friendly Amendment was given, that this be a legal or accounting audit. Jeneane seconded the motion, George, Joan, and Larry voted in the affirmative, and Scott abstained. The motion carried.
Monthly Reports:
1. ACA/WSO Treasurer: Jeneane S. Jeneane reported total income being up significantly in January 2012, for a total of $39,389.99. $22, 558.45 was in Big Red Book sales, $9191.50 in Workbook sales, and the balance of income from medallions and other literature, etc. 7th Tradition income was $3725.51 for the month of January.
2. Outreach: Phyllis R. Phyllis reported more meeting requests in January and a request from a Spanish-speaking man for 20 Big Red Books in Spanish by the end of the month. She also reported a contact from someone in Hungary, again indicating the world-wide reach of ACA.
3. Literature Report: Larry A. Larry reported the AA ebook is unsatisfactory to some of their customers, which is a format ACA has been checking into to use. He reported the ebook is not as good on Ipad but may be different on Kindle. He thought waiting awhile for doing the ACA material in that same format was a good idea. He mentioned making a motion in March regarding continuing on with the ebook, but it was tabled for now until more details are available on what works best, the associated costs, and the security.
4. WSO Office Report: DiAnne A. DiAnne reported February sales moving at a faster pace than January: workbook orders are up 40% and everything is up 30 to 40% across the board. She reported letting one probationary employee go as that person was not a fit for the work. She said they need two more people, one to replace Valentina and one to replace the trainee who was let go. Larry suggested putting a notice in ComLine that the office needed volunteers at the office in Signal Hill.
5. Hospitals and Institutions: Joan B. Joan reported sending materials (a Big Red Book, Step Workbook, and two tri-folds: ACA is and 25 Questions) to an individual in Portland, Oregon who is trying to establish an ACA meeting in the prison facility there. A Fellowship text and those same two tri-folds were also forwarded to a correctional facility in Oregon, Wisconsin.
6. Website/Database: Scott R. Scott indicated that the motions for the ABC being held at the end of April need to be sent out to the fellowship via email and postal mail. He said the Shopping Cart ordering program he is setting up for ordering ACA materials online is coming along. He is nearly ready to test the system, which will allow for paying for orders with a credit card. He expects this new system to go live in March, or whenever the office is ready. He and Phyllis, Outreach chair, are making a trip to the office in Signal Hill the 27th of February. He mentioned that there is a T-Hub that may need to be purchased for $600 that he will need but that he will try to work without it for now.
7. Handbook/Translations Committee, Omer G..-. Omer reported the Big Red Book is on its way to Finland. It is the first translation into a non-English language to be shipped overseas. The Danish translation and design is ready to be printed. Robin is designing the Spanish Yellow Workbook and it is nearly ready to print. Additional translations are of the Identity Papers and New Comer pamphlets into Polish and Russian, and the Big Red Book into Hungarian.
8. Executive Committee Report. One new person was hired at the Signal Hill office and Scott reported approval of an additional $150 to continue work on the Shopping Cart program. He reported more may be needed for the Shopping Cart program, and he will keep the board members apprised.
Old Business:
New Business items: Shown below, these items were tabled until the March Teleconference due to a lack of time.
Item 1: Discuss the duties of the Executive Committee: Below are the executive committee duties from the OPPM. Essentially, the Executive Committee has all the powers of the full board except for the listed items below. The full board can revoke any action of the executive committee with a majority vote. But, my opinion (Omer G) is that the Executive Committee is working well and within its defined duties. I see the current Executive Committee keeping the board informed of actions and reports them to the full board. (Omer)
Item 2: Should the Board establish a policy for the future to require a signature for all shipped orders over a certain amount (say $100)?
Anne from Tarrytown, NY had questions regarding a meeting in her locale. Leanne from Florida mentioned the three-day convention being held in her area in June with AA, Al-Anon, and ACA putting it on. She reported the meeting attendance in her area is tremendous. Karen mentioned a brochure that a member made up and has many ACA features on it. She will bring it to the ABC in California in April and indicated she wanted to hand it out in her area. MaryJo from the Chicago/Milwaukee Intergroup was also on the conference call. Mona of the Chicago Intergroup reported timely delivery of her recent book order.
Meeting closed with the Serenity Prayer.
The next teleconference will be: March 10, 2012

I was previously a deflated B/small C. I wanted upper pole fullness and while I didn't want gigantic boobs, I do like the "fake" look. My surgeon suggested 450cc Silicone Mentor HP textured implants. Today is one week post op and I couldn't be any happier. Dr. Potyondy and his staff have all been amazing. The Dr. is kind and patient and the staff are always eager to make you smile. My only regret is not doing it sooner!
450cc High Profile Mentor Silicone - Tacoma, WA
Post op check up
Saw my doctor yesterday and had my stitches removed. Once again he, and the staff were wonderful! Zero complaints there. I'm just a little worried about my left breast. It looks so funny from the side and my natural breast tissues seems to be hanging off the tip and underside. He said to be patient, and the implant will settle in over the next few weeks/months. I go back in 6 weeks to check progress. I'm just sad because I can't wear fitted clothes out in public because that breast looks like a cone :(. My right breast is perfect! I'm going to add updated pictures. If anyone is reading this and has/had the same issue, let me know! I feel like I'm the only one who has this! I got textured ones so I'm worried they won't drop.
18 days post op
Finally feeling like myself again. Walking 2-4 miles a day and can't wait until I hit the 4 weeks mark so I can start working out. I'm only allowing myself to take progress pictures once a week of my "bad" boob though so I don't obsess over it. I will update with its progress on Friday! In the mean time, I'm having so much fun trying on new clothes and love the way they look in sports bras!
3 weeks post op
Just adding a progress shot of lefty. I'm not seeing much change :( What do you guys think? Is it dropping or rounding out at all? My right boob is beautiful so I didn't add pictures of it. Lol
4 weeks post op
They are feeling softer. No more pain but I am still numb under my boobs and my ribs near my armpit are still sore. I think my bad boob (the left one) is starting to round out!!! It still has a ways to go to catch up to my right one but some progress is better then none! :)
6 weeks po
Things are going great. I love the size and profile that I got. I'm not having any more pain or discomfort and I'm back at the gym lifting, running and doing TRX with very little issues. My right breast is still my perfect one. The left one (pictured) looks better as time goes on. It is still my problem child but I'm happy that each week I am able to see improvement, no matter how small it is.
8 weeks post op
I had 450cc mentor textured round high profile implants placed under the muscle. They still feel kind of hard but no other issues. I'm so happy to report that my left implant has settled down into its pocket nicely!!! Yay!!!!
8 weeks post op progress
One week post op and 8 weeks
12 weeks post!
Still numb on the underside of my breasts but no other issues. The size has gone down a tad but not too much. I still fit in the VS 34 DD bras that I bought at 4 weeks post op. Hopefully they don't change much from here on out because I love them. 450cc high profile round textured mentor memory gel placed under the muscle.
Today is one week post op and I couldn't be any happier. Dr. Potyondy and his staff have all been amazing. The Dr. is kind and patient and the staff are always eager to make you smile. Dr. potyondy is basically available to you 24/7 and reachable by phone/text/email after surgery. It truly maks me feel like he cares about my recovery. My only regret is not doing it sooner!

Closing and Killing Programs
To close a specific program, highlight it in EndItAll's main list and choose the Close program command. This command, represented by a standard close button, is available from the Action menu, the toolbar, and each running program's context menu. If Allow close isn't checked, the Close program command will be disabled.
To kill a specific program, highlight it and select the Kill program command. Kill program is represented by a skull and crossbones and, like Close program, is available from the Action menu, the toolbar, and each running program's context menu. If Allow kill isn't checked, this command is disabled.
The first time you try to kill a background process, EndItAll will give you a warning ( Figure 2 ) and ask for confirmation. You can choose Yes to proceed, No to back off, or Yes - don't ask again to avoid seeing this message in the future. To bring these warning messages back after you've clicked Yes - don't ask again, open the file Enditall.ini in Notepad and delete the lines that have the form NoXxxWarn=0.
To close or kill many programs at once, use the Close all or Kill all commands. These commands are represented by doubled-up versions of the icons for Close program and Kill program and are available from the toolbar and the Action menu. These actions will be enabled any time there's at least one program in the list for which the action is permitted.
The first time you use the Close all or Kill all button, EndItAll will describe the action and ask for confirmation. Here again, you can tell EndItAll not to ask again. After you confirm the action, EndItAll will attempt the specified action on all programs for which it is permitted. When the process is complete, EndItAll will display a report of what it did. In addition, each Close all or Kill all action is recorded in a file named Enditall.log, which is stored in the same folder as the program. You'll want to review this log from time to time. If a Kill all operation crashes Windows, the last line of the log file will reveal which program was the culprit.
If EndItAll successfully closes or kills a program, its Status icon will change to the icon of the action that was performed, and its text fields will be drawn with strikeout lines. If EndItAll fails to close or kill a program, the Status icon shows the attempted action with a question mark overlaid, and the text fields are displayed in italics. When you refresh the list after either action, the closed or killed items will disappear, and the icons for the failed items will return to their former state. Each possible status except the rarely seen Kill failed is represented in Figure 3 .

I grew up going to see bands. At the age of fourteen I saw my first show: the hardcore band Fugazi. For some reason, I had brought my backpack with me to the tiny venue where they were playing. I stashed it in the bathroom and spent the night in the mosh pit, jumping around with a bunch of sweaty, tattooed dudes.
A big part of my high school life was going to shows. Since not too many bands made a stop in my sleepy hometown of Roanoke, Virginia, my friends and I used to drive to Richmond and other nearby cities to see punk bands like Against All Authority, The Bouncing Souls, Anti-Flag, and our favorite: Less Than Jake.
In the summers, we headed to DC for the Warped Tour. We'd spend the long, hot day seeing our favorite bands and getting free samples of Yoohoo for sustenance.
I loved going to shows because it was a chance for me to jump up and down, scream really loud, and unleash my emotions in a way that I didn't get to in my regular life of being a straight-A student. I crowd-surfed. I jumped on stage and screamed into the microphone. I threw my sixteen-year-old body into a sweaty sea of other sixteen-year-old bodies and let the tide take me over.
I always dressed the same way for shows: jeans, a t-shirt or tank top, and sneakers. Wearing anything else was stupid. My friends and I used to make fun of the girls who showed up at the Warped Tour wearing flip-flops or skirts or, for God's sake, high heels. What were they thinking? You can't crowd-surf in that. Your toes will get smashed in the pit. And purses? Forget about it. After the backpack incident, I never brought anything with me to shows except a few dollars tucked into my back pocket. What else could I need? All that mattered was the music.
Skip ahead to the present day. On Friday, my husband and some friends and I went to see Weezer and Panic at the Disco at an outdoor amphitheater in Northern Virginia. I was excited. I'd never seen Weezer before, and it had been a while since I'd been to an outdoor concert. I was imagining we'd picnic leisurely on the lawn in between bands then enjoy a big Weezer sing-along at the end of the night.
The day of the concert, my husband came home early from work and we got ready to go. The weather forecast was clearly calling for rain, so we packed two umbrellas and our raincoats. I stuffed a cooler bag with strawberries, cut-up watermelon, cheese, granola bars, and two leftover banana-walnut pancakes.
"Should I bring a book?" Paul asked.
"If you want." I tossed some bug spray into my bag then went upstairs to find the foldable camp chairs. I considered my outfit. I was wearing a sundress and sparkly white sandals. Should I change into jeans and sneakers? It was hot outside. I decided what I was wearing was fine.
We loaded up the car and began the forty-mile-but-three-hours-because-of-traffic drive to Jiffy Lube Live.
As we drove through the parking lot, I was surprised to see so many teenagers. With Weezer as the headliner, I'd assumed it would be a bunch of thirty-somethings like us.
"What is that girl wearing?" Paul asked, nodding towards a girl in high-waisted shortie-shorts. "Her butt is hanging out. Do you think her parents let her out of the house dressed like that?"
I was more impressed with the fact that none of these teenagers were carrying anything with them. Where were their umbrellas? Weren't they concerned about the impending rain? Most of the girls weren't even carrying purses. They just had their cell phones tucked in the back pockets of their shortie-shorts.
We parked and got our stuff out of the car: two camp chairs, my purse, a tote bag, and a cooler bag. We looked like we were planning to live at Jiffy Lube Live for a week.
"We're older," I said as we walked towards the gate. "We require more stuff now."
As we neared the entrance, a teenage boy in a neon green Jiffy Lube Live t-shirt stopped us. "You can't bring those chairs in."
"But the website said we could," I protested.
"Sorry, that's the rule for this show. No chairs. And they're not going to let you bring all those bags in either. One bag per person."
Annoyed, Paul and I rearranged everything into my purse and the cooler bag, and I trudged back to the car to put away our chairs.
As we neared the entrance for the second time, the same teenager stopped us again. "They're not going to let you bring that cooler bag in."
"It's not a cooler bag, it's my husband's man purse," I said.
"I don't get it. Are we not allowed to bring in food?" Paul asked.
"You can bring in food," the boy said. "Just not in a bag."
"That makes no sense," I said.
He shrugged. "I'm just telling you the rules. And you can't bring those umbrellas in either."
"What the heck? You know it's supposed to rain, right?" I pointed at the black clouds above our heads.
Grunting with annoyance, we took all the food out of the cooler bag and shoved the cooler bag into my purse. Paul put on his raincoat and stuffed one of the umbrellas into his sleeve. I hid the other one at the bottom of my purse. Then, with our arms full of snacks, we made our way towards the front gates.
"Crap," Paul said. "They're waving people down with a metal detector. They're going to think this is a weapon." He pulled the umbrella out of his sleeve and took off his jacket. Then he balled up the jacket, hiding the umbrella inside it. We went into the line of an older security officer who looked like she didn't really care about her job anymore. She poked half-heartedly at my purse then waved us through.
We found our friends, who luckily had a blanket for us to sit on, and staked out a spot at the top of the lawn. I had just opened my strawberries when the raindrops started to fall. Paul and I put on our raincoats, but I was hot in mine, and the raincoat didn't stop my feet from getting wet and muddy. Suddenly, a drunk girl tripped and fell onto our blanket, smushing our strawberries. It started to rain even harder.
Panic at the Disco was playing, and all around us, teenagers were dancing in the rain, not caring about getting wet or muddy. And suddenly, I didn't care either. I took off my raincoat and lifted my face to the sky.
By the time Weezer came on stage, our snacks were wet and smushed, the blanket was wet and dirty, and everything in my purse was slightly damp. I realized it was stupid to have brought all this stuff. I'd turned into someone my friends and I used to make fun of. I'd forgotten that all you should ever bring to a show is yourself. All that matters is the music. I felt old, and kind of lame.
But then Weezer started playing "Surf Wax USA." It was the slow part at the very beginning, and no one else on the lawn was singing along, but I did, at the top of my lungs: "You take your car to work. I'll take my board. And when you're out of fuel, I'm still afloat…"
When the fast part started, I jumped around like I was a teenager in the mosh pit instead of a thirty-something in a sundress. "I never thought it would come to this," I screamed, thrashing myself about, "now I can never go home!"
It was a far cry from the concerts of my youth, but for the briefest of moments, I felt like a kid again.

Venison front shoulder is known as a large, tough cut of meat, but when slow-roasted can become tender and delicious. In a 2009 "Field and Stream" article, John Besh says, "I actually prefer the tougher cuts of venison, like the shoulder, because they have more flavor." Venison can be paired with vegetables and rice. Venison front shoulder has less cholesterol and fat than beef, chicken or pork, according to Venison Steaks, making it a practical and nutritious choice for dinner.
Things You'll Need
- 6 lb. venison front shoulder
- 4 carrots
- 2 large onions
- 4 small red potatoes
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
- Small mixing bowl
- Large mixing bowl
- Extra large roasting pan
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Aluminum foil
- Meat thermometer
- Carving knife
Prepare the required ingredients by slicing the carrots into 2-inch length pieces. Halve the potatoes and cut each onion into four identical wedges. Coarsely chop the sprigs of thyme and rosemary.
Place your venison shoulder on a large cutting board and carefully cut off any excess fat. Prepare a marinade by combining the Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary and olive oil in a small mixing bowl. Place the venison shoulder in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over the top and add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate three to four hours.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line the inside of an extra large roasting pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with a non-stick cooking spray and place the venison shoulder inside. Place the carrots, potatoes and onions in the roasting pan, surrounding the venison.
Cover the venison with aluminum foil and place on the center rack inside the oven. Cook for two hours. Carefully slide out the roasting pan and uncover the venison. Spoon the juices over the top of the roast, turn the heat down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook uncovered for an additional 45 minutes.
Check to make sure the venison front shoulder is perfectly cooked by placing a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the venison. The internal temperature of the meat should be 140 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Broken Arrow Ranch. Transfer the venison shoulder to a serving platter and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Use a carving knife to cut uniform 1/8-inch slices and serve with carrots, onions and potatoes on the side.

Determinants of foreign direct investment in Lesotho: evidence from cointegration and error correction modeling
Over the past decade, Lesotho has recorded a substantial increase in levels of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow, part of it prompted by trade privileges. Building on the extant literature, this study provides an empirical analysis of determinants of FDI in Lesotho. The study looks at how macroeconomic stability, regulatory frameworks, political stability and market size affect FDI. The evidence from this study shows that some of the foreign enterprises in Lesotho are there to serve a bigger South African market. Also, the country has benefited from a more export-oriented investment promotion strategy. Critical issues however remain that must be addressed if the country is to attract more FDI and retain existing investors .These issues pertain to bureaucratic red-tape, corruption and political instability.

The 2014 Kia Sedona has plenty of interior room, and an interior that's spacious enough for seven; but it's not quite as delightful if you need to switch back and forth between carrying kids and other cargo.
There's nothing quite like Chrysler's trick Swivel n' Go seats (in the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country) or Honda's so-called Magic Seat (from the Odyssey) on the Sedona, but the third row is relatively easy to fold down and expand cargo. First- and second-row seats are quite comfortable, but as with most three-row vehicles the back row is tough to get to and will leave adults in a knees-up seated position.
Otherwise, the Sedona is simple and straightforward inside. It's been spruced up with a couple of updates over the years, yet relative to other models in its class the interior is a bit short on detailing.That said, there are plenty of functional, thoughtful details, like a dual-compartment glovebox, a very large center console, and eight cup holders in all.
We've found ride quality to be on of the strengths of the Sedona against its rivals; although there can be a bit of road noise on some surfaces, its highway ride especially is nicely controlled.

Moira Walker Memorial Award for International Service
Deadline for Submission: March 31, 2017
This Award honors an individual or group that has demonstrated extraordinary efforts to bring about change or improvement related to infection prevention and control in parts of the world that are under developed or under resourced. The annual award is in honour of Moira Walker RN CIC, a Past President of IPAC Canada and Past Honourary Secretary of the International Federation of Infection Control. Moira's life was dedicated to enhancing the physical and spiritual health of her many friends and colleagues.
Acceptance of this award does not constitute endorsement of the company's products. The placement of corporate logos does not imply advertisement or endorsement of a company's products or services. IPAC Canada is not responsible for information found on any external website reached through corporate links.
Moira Walker's qualities of involvement, commitment and dedication to infection prevention and control guided our selection of the ideal candidate for this award. The 2015 honoree is Professor Donna Moralejo PhD of Memorial University School of Nursing, St. John`s NL. Donna has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to infection prevention and control on the local, national and international stage. To her colleagues in Newfoundland and Labrador, she is an advocate, a leader once serving as president of the chapter, and an educator. Nationally she served on the IPAC Canada Board of Directors for six years. As Director of Education she was instrumental in development of the novice ICP distance education course and has been involved with the national education conference for many years in several positions, among them Scientific Chair, Co-chair and advisor.
Donna's international work has focused on community capacity building in an effort to prevent the transmission of communicable disease and strengthen public health interventions.
Her earliest international work was in Indonesia (2001-2006) where she was part of a team at Memorial School of Nursing working with the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Indonesia to develop community health nursing there. The focus of one project was related to educating women and families about hand hygiene and food safety to reduce diarrheal disease, and intervening to improve hand hygiene and ventilation/reduced exposure to kitchen and tobacco smoke to reduce respiratory disease. The target groups were children under age 5. The occurrence of both diarrheal and respiratory diseases decreased following the interventions.
She worked twice with the WHO's Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) initiative for polio eradication. The first mission was in Haiti in 2002, where she and her team mates set up 100 community and hospital sentinel sites for surveillance of their notifiable diseases, focusing primarily on polio, measles and neonatal tetanus. The second STOP mission was in Burkina Faso in 2005. The emphasis was also on strengthening their surveillance of notifiable diseases, focusing primarily on polio, measles, yellow fever and neonatal tetanus. Since Donna and her team mates completed their mission, Burkina Faso has met the surveillance target each year.
Her other two projects have focused on strengthening immunization, though each had a different method. One project was in Ethiopia (2007-2008) where she collaborated with the Ethiopian Public Health Association and two universities' medical schools. The project involved training students in nursing, medicine, pharmacy and the health inspector program. As part of a 6-8 week clinical placement in rural villages, they collaborated to identify factors that led to under-immunization of children and then implemented strategies to address those factors. The other project was in Haiti (2009-2011) where she worked with the Haitian Public Health Association (ASPHA). They researched factors that led to under-immunization in one specific region of Haiti, and made locally relevant, evidence-based recommendations for addressing those factors. While it is up to the government and health care system to implement the recommendations, ASPHA was able to develop its capacity for conducting a research-based needs assessment and its credibility as an expert resource.
Her international activities have also allowed her interaction with healthcare workers in several countries. Such activities include giving presentations at international conferences, and five years of service on the Strengthening of Public Health Associations (SOPHA) Review and Evaluation Committee of the Canadian Public Health Association. The SOPHA program offered support (technical and financial) to new or struggling public health associations in developing countries. Although her position as university professor includes a mandate to conduct research, her focus had been to move beyond research and help build capacity at both the level of individuals and systems.
Her international work is now continuing in different ways: as part of two international Cochrane review teams (UK and Brazil) and working with the International Federation of Infection Control (IFIC). The two reviews are about interventions to strengthen hand hygiene, and interventions to strengthen standard and transmission based precautions. Both reviews should be published within the next year. She has just started her four year term with IFIC on the Board of Trustees but will no doubt draw on her experience and skills to help promote capacity building in infection prevention and control.
Dr. Moralejo`s award was presented at the 2015 Opening Ceremonies. She presented an overview of her international initiatives at the Tuesday morning, Champions of Infection Prevention and Control Breakfast.

The 67th Cannes festival marked Mallika parading an array of disastrous wardrobes. Too harsh? But we really can't help it; it's the lady who makes it hard for us to appreciate.
The India Party at Cannes saw Mallika doing an orange blazer with black skinny pants. Untied coiffure, nude makeup and petite diamond jewelry rounded off her 'too-casual' appearance.
The Murder actress picked a hideous sheer pleated Emilio Pucci gown featuring a deep neck and a thigh-high slit at the 'amfAR Gala and Jimmy's Hall Premiere'. The ebony shoes, silver ornaments and left open tresses turned out to be a total mismatch and twisted the otherwise decent look into a total sour fiasco.
Bollywood's kissing queen decked up at the 'Dior and Elle Dinner' in a Dalmatian print Dior midi that was finished out with black peep-toe pumps, a long maala and bold eyes. Enough with the plainness lady, we want flamboyance, we want drama and we want it now!
Ms Sherawat walked the red carpet at the 'Grace Of Monaco' premiere donning another Emilio Pucci bodycon, however the conservative sea blue attire featuring a keyhole at its neck was goofed up with un-coordinated accessories and a top knot. Let's hope that Mallika shows up seldom in such outfits.
At the CII Pavilian Inauguration Mallika who usually is seen sporting western outfits surprisingly gave us a desi sighting in her off-white Manish Tripathi lehenga-blouse adorned with paisley prints. The dainty look was completed with flowing manes and miniature accessories.

text: Vishu is a special season for Mollywood. The reason is simple. The films released during the season are expected to do very well at the box office. Utilizing the advantages of summer vacation, many films are released on Vishu targeting young audiences in Kerala, who are enjoying their summer vacations. Three hit movies were released during the season last year: Dileeps Vinodhayathra, Mammoottys Big B and Mohanlals Chotta Mumbai. But this year, no movie has yet shown signs of becoming a huge hit. All of them carry just mixed reactions from the first weeks audience. Dileeps Mulla has stopped pulling audiences by the third week and managed to bring less than 40 percent viewers in major centres. Balachandra Menons De Ingottu Nokkiye may well be the biggest flop of the season since almost all types of viewers registered their dislike. However, it is noticed that Lals Innathe Chintha Vishayam will become a profit maker. All expectations are now on Mammoottys Annan Thampi directed by Anwar Rasheed, which will be released on 17th in more than 75 centres. We need to wait and see whether Annan Thampi will make a difference this Vishu!

Author Biography Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London on 28 May 1908 and was educated at Eton College before spending a formative period studying languages in Europe. His first job was with Reuters news agency, followed by a brief spell as a stockbroker. On the outbreak of the Second World War he was appointed assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence, Admiral Godfrey, where he played a key part in British and Allied espionage operations. After the war he joined Kemsley Newspapers as Foreign Manager of the Sunday Times, running a network of correspondents who were intimately involved in the Cold War. His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and introduced James Bond, Special Agent 007, to the world. The first print run sold out within a month. Following this initial success, he published a Bond title every year until his death. His own travels, interests and wartime experience gave authority to everything he wrote. Raymond Chandler hailed him as 'the most forceful and driving writer of thrillers in England.' The fifth title, From Russia with Love, was particularly well received and sales soared when President Kennedy named it as one of his favourite books. The Bond novels have sold more than sixty million copies and inspired a hugely successful film franchise which began in 1962 with the release of Dr No starring Sean Connery as 007. The Bond books were written in Jamaica, a country Fleming fell in love with during the war and where he built a house, 'Goldeneye'. He married Anne Rothermere in 1952. His story about a magical car, written in 1961 for their only child Caspar, went on to become the well-loved novel and film, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Fleming died of heart failure on 12 August 1964, aged fifty-six. www.ianfleming.com

Effectiveness of Ralph Lauren Replica in the World of FashionJuly 5th, 2012 | clothes,ralph lauren replica | No Comments »
Every celeb will never toil with their mode of dressing in the fashion world and this is the more reason why there is competition among them. For this purpose, many people love their outlook and have been dreaming to become one of them these days. One of the brand clothing products used by the celeb is Ralph Lauren. This is very expensive and not all the celeb can afford it. I mean those celebrities that are just coming into the industry. This is the more reason why Ralph Lauren replica is in the market. The production of Ralph Lauren replica is to ensure that nobody lack any of the expensive dressing code.

You have no choice than to go for this replica because when you put it on, you can never be detected among other stars that you are not wearing authentic Ralph Lauren replica.

Online poker bill still fighting uphill battle
Despite a 41-22 vote sending HR 2267 out of the House Financial Services Committee, the bill that seeks to legalize and regulate online gambling still has a long way to go before becoming law. Even more troublesome could be the rhetoric being "quoted" by the opponents of the bill.
As most poker players will tell you, "show me the data." However, opponents of the bill that find gambling morally reprehensible just need a so-called expert to state something, and it immediately becomes fact in their minds. For instance in an ABC News article from today a man called only Chuck from Gamblers Anonymous was asked if online gambling has swelled the ranks of compulsive gamblers? Chuck's answer, "unequivocally YES!"The article then goes on to say: "Chuck had no hard data to support this assertion, only anecdotal evidence." Maybe someone should clue Chuck in to the UK study –with real statistics—that show there has been no increase in problem gambling since the inception of online gambling.
And then there is my new least favorite person Rep. Spencer Bacchus (R-AL) who calls online poker "the worst form of gambling…The crack-cocaine of gambling." Now Bacchus is basically saying college age students have no self-control, and many would turn to it because, "when you put a computer in the bedroom or dorm room of a young person, the temptation is too great for many of them to resist." Thanks for all the faith in America's young adults Rep. Bacchus!

Rhine and Moselle: Avalon Luminary Cruise Review by annie99
Overall Member Rating
Rhine and Moselle
Destination: Europe - River Cruise
Embarkation: Basel
We took the train from Zurich airport directly to Lucerne in about an hour and really enjoyed the lake cruise to Weggis that we took. We stayed at the Radisson which is located very close to the train station in Lucerne. The train station was a good place for moderate food costs( for Switzerland). There is an entire mall under the station with all kinds of options for very good take away food( both hot and cold).After 2 nights, we took the direct train to Basel and left our luggage at the station in lockers while we explored Basel for the day. We caught a taxi to the river boat very easily from More there.
We particularly enjoyed the Moselle section of the cruise as it is by far the prettier River . The Rhine does have lovely sections including the Gorge and castles, but other parts are also very industrial.There were a few places where we would have preferred to dock in the main town in the afternoons rather than moving to a smaller place with less to do. Trier was an example of this. Due to the distances travelled, there is more day time cruising in the afternoons than on other rivers such as the Danube and the Rhone.
The staff and crew were wonderful to a person and could not do enough for you.
We met many other travellers primarily from the UK, NZ, Australia and Canada. Our cruise director Bart was amazing and had lots of very valuable information and corny jokes to share.
Although the Luminary is 4 years old, she has been very well maintained. I was a bit disappointed that the beds did not face the sliding glass doors as they do on the newer ships. If I was choosing a cabin next time, I would either choose mid ship or the front as there was considerable noise from the engine at the back when we docked. We were 4 cabins from the back and were OK., but could hear it on occasion.
The food was very good and they tried to include some regional specialties, which was nice.
Of course, wine is subjective, but this is one area where I think they could have included some more local white wines which were of a better quality.We did have one local white which was nice -but there could have been more as they are not expensive in the Moselle region.
We love river boat cruising as it is such an easy way to travel without hassle.You only unpack once and cruising down the river at dinner time watching the sunset over the vineyards and castles is priceless. Less

Sorry but i need to rant to get my worry and frustrations out. My mom had to have surgery on her hand yesterday. She had what they call "trigger thumb", which is basically the tendon gets stuck in one position and wont release on its own. She said that isnt uncommon and that it was a pretty simple procedure. So I worry a bit but try not to worry to much. My mom and I have a bleeding disorder called von willebrands, which is basically were our blood doesnt clot like a normal persons does (we bleed longer than normal). Anyways, she has her DDAVP (the meds that make our blood clot) so I try my best not to worry.
Her surgery was at 9 am yesterday, after i get home from work and feed the baby lunch i give her a call to see how she is (this is around 2pm). She says she is tired but the numbing stuff is still working so she isnt in a lot of pain, i ask how the bleeding is and she says that it is starting to bleed through the bandage some, but not bad. Okay fine, love ya mama get some rest ill call in a bit and check on you. So at 4pm I get a call from my mom, she says she had to go back to the dr because it ended up bleeding through her bandage, a towel, and onto her pillow! I start freaking out a bit.. did you remember your meds mom? what did the dr do? etc? yes she remembered her meds, the dr just rewrapped it and put a pressure bandage on it and sent her back home. I wasnt very happy to hear that was all that was done, but i'm 1,000 miles away what can i do?
So i call back a couple hours later and talk to my dad, because mom had taken pain meds, and he said she is doing alright its still bleeding but doesnt seem as bad. Fine, call back a few hours later and talk to mom.. she says she is doing fine, its still bleeding some but seems to have slowed down though it has bled through the inner layers of her bandage it hadnt gone through the outer layer. So I remind her to make sure she takes her meds and check it several times throughout the night and maybe she should go to the ER just to get it checked etc.etc. She says its fine and that she will and that she will call me if anything happens. So I finish baking my cakes and try not to worry and go to bed.
This morning I wake up at 9:30 and call my mom, well my uncle picked up the phone and said that my aunt took her to the hospital at 7am. So I freak and call my moms cell and my aunt answers. Mom says she woke up at 5:30am and everything seemed fine then by 6:30am it wasnt. She bled through all 9 layers of her bandage and through two pillows in an hour!! She was going to wait for the drs office to open up but my dad told her to wake up my aunt and go to the hospital. The ER gave her a DDAVP IV and took the bandages off so it could bleed freely and they could see how much it was bleeding and they did some bloodwork. (mind you all of this bleeding is coming through the stitches). She said she thinks maybe she told the Dr to low of a dose of the DDAVP (that she thought that was it but couldnt remember) and that is what lead to the bleeding.
She called just a few minutes ago and said the ER released her and is sending her back to the Dr who did the surgery. That it has started to clot but hadnt completely and was still bleeding. They said she didnt need a transfusion or anything because her numbers were 38 and she is okay as long as they are above 29. The ER wouldnt do anything else with her hand because of the surgery. So now she is on the way over to the Dr.
I am so frustrated and upset over the whole thing. I feel like this could have been prevented. I mean if the Dr had never worked with a von willebrands patient before shouldnt he have checked on the dosage and stuff?? what dr takes a patients "i think but dont really remember" as basis for writing a prescription?!? if her surgery was at 9 am and she went back in at 3pm for bleeding through the bandage, a dang towel, and onto a pillow shouldnt that have sent off red flags?
Im sorry this is so long and jumbled. This whole thing is really upsetting me, its been over 24 hours and she is still bleeding (not as bad, thank goodness). Maybe its just me being overly sensitive because its my mom and the same bleeding disorder i have, but I think this whole thing was completely preventable. Anyways, thanks for listening to me rant. I will update to let you all know how she is doing.
Sorry about your mom's troubles. I hope she is doing better now. I had the same surgery for trigger thumb after about one month of having corporal tunnel surgery. I have a little trouble with bleeding, but not nearly as much as you and your mom have. I do not have medicine to take for it, just slower at clotting than the average person. Hope she recoops fast. There was very little pain after surgery for me and I never regretted either surgeries. {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}
I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I can't imagine the agony of being that fair away and being totally helpless.
Just think positive and make sure your mom stays on top of the incision, bleeding and the doctor.
I wish your mom speedy healing.
Thanks so much for the words of support. Mom went to the Dr and they took off the bandage, ripping the clot off and caused it to start bleeding again. They rebandaged it yet again, this time with lots of nylon gauze, regular gauze, and ace bandage. Then they gave her lots and lots of extra bandages. they said that if she bleeds through to just keep adding more bandage to it. They are thinking that because they keep taking off the bandage when she bleeds through and it keeps ripping off the partial clot that she has. So they are going to leave the bandage on for a few days to see if that helps. Hopefully the wound will clot up and the Dr's theory works (though im not to sure how that will happen, because i think if they remove the bandage in a few days it will start the bleeding again). Thanks again for you alls support.
Sorry to hear about your mom but hopefully now they have it under control. You know the doctors are only human not that I'm taking up for them but they make mistakes too. I hope she gets better and I'll pray for you both.
wow, I can't imagine what you're going through right now!! I will also keep your mom and your whole family in my prayers as well. Don't they make bandages that don't stick??
Also I completely agree with you that the Dr. should NEVER take the patients word for how much meds they need, I mean that's HIS job, not your mom's!!
Hope everything turns out!
Talked to my mom when I got home from work today. She says she is doing much better, it hasnt bled through again! My dad made her a mock sling from a towel and safety pin, so now she doesnt even attempt to use that arm and it helps keep her hand elevated. I'm still annoyed with the doctors, but now that the bleeding seems to have stopped I do realize that they are human and make mistakes. It's just really hard to remember that when I'm 1,000 miles away and cant be there to boss everyone around and take control of the situation. lol Which is what I have always done since I was a kid and there was something like this was going on. I think another reason I freaked so much was that niether my aunt or sister knew the name of my moms blood clotting meds. Doesnt seem like that big of a deal really, but if anything worse would have happened then who would be able to tell the doctors the kind of meds in case they needed to stop the bleeding ASAP? 75% of doctors have never dealt with a vWD patient before. It really just scared the crap out of me to realize that and I dont even know if my own husband would know the answer to that question if something happened to me. However after this ordeal i will be drilling it into everyones heads and making sure they know how important it is. Thanks so much all of you for your support and sweet comments.
I'm glad she's doing better and maybe this happened for a reason. You now can have your husband more informed and maybe your mom can make sure your dad, sister, and aunt are more informed on the meds.
Have they tried liquid skin? it is a topical type of bandange so to speak that can hol together a minor wound. If she has stitches she wont need it to hold the actual wound together but to help the wound to be protected from the removal of the bandage over and over.
I hope it helps some. Lots of love coming your way.
I was wondering the same thing at first, but then I thought maybe they dont use it anymore? I'm not sure. I just got off the phone with mom again, still no new bleeding. She is in a lot of pain still so she was going to take her pain meds and lay down for awhile. She avoided taking it all day up to this point because it makes her feel sick to her stomach. Anyways, thats all the news I have for now. Thanks everyone
Do you have a medic alert bracelet? Maybe they can keep the medication name on file for when they get a call? Another thing I have read of people doing is making up a card with medical information and keeping it in their wallet with their credit cards.
Hope your mom recovers quickly.
Back when I injured my hand it was so bad that they gave me this stuff called an artificial clot. Basically it's some sort of white stuff that they put on open wounds to keep it from bleeding out. They did have to take it off about a week later, but at that time the wound was healing so I didn't need it anymore. They also gave me this yellow wet bandage stuff (sorry not sure what it was) to put on it so when I changed my bandage it wouldn't stick to it. I would have her ask her dr about getting an artificial clot. That way it will stop bleeding and get a chance to heal.
Have you or your mom ever tried quick clot? Here is the link:
It's used by our military, hospitals, a lot of police agencies carry it now, and you can buy it for home use. I bought some to have - just in case - because of the kids..... I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone to keep at home and in the car. They make small packs for nosebleeds and all the way up to severe trauma-type injuries. In fact, they even make it for pets too.
I had never heard of it until my husband was issued it at work. I'm going to get some more to give as gifts to people this year too.
I know you said that it is a condition that you both have, so I'm not quite sure how that affects it, but maybe it could help in the future.
Glad to hear your mom is doing better!
p.s. nice to meet you...I live just down the road from you near Brandon.
Thanks so much for everyones concern. Mom and I actually went out and bought medical alert necklaces for both of us when I was diagnosed, but over the years we have quit wearing them. ( havent been able to find mine since I moved to florida). I've heard of the quick clot stuff but have never had any experience with it personally (I've heard though that it hurts like heck when put on a wound, is that true?). I'm not sure why her doctors decided to do it the way they did, but I have to tell myself that hopefully they knew what they were doing. Mom is still doing good, no more bleeding, she goes back to the Dr on weds to have the bandages redone. Itsmylife, how far away is Brandon from Hudson? Ive only been here about a year and dont know much about Florida because I was born and raised in Maryland.
Teena Maria, don't be upset because you were worried about your mom and couldn't be there. My DH and I moved back to my hometown in 2001 and in 2002, my mom was diagnosed with cancer (the 2nd time). I went to the doctor with her, I made sure she rested after chemo, I asked the doctor questions about her health and care needs. When my dad or my aunt went, they didn't remember anything, they didn't ask questions. It drove me crazy so I took over taking care of her. Yeah, I have some control issues too but dadgum, if you go with her and least find out the meds she needs and when she is supposed to take them! So, I understand completely how you feel. I'm glad that she's getting better now and I know you are resting easier too.
