Quality Improvement Part 1: Retrospective Review
EMS agencies must embrace continuous quality improvement as part of their daily operations
Quality assurance, total quality management and continuous quality improvement are some of the catch phrases that have made the rounds over the years, giving name to the process that ensures standards of patient care are being met in EMS. For the purpose of this article, we'll use the term continuous quality improvement (CQI). Whatever you choose to call it, every EMS agency should have a quality review process. In most states, it is required by law; however, beyond this mandate, the details of how to administer a quality improvement program are frequently left to the individual agency.
Any comprehensive quality improvement process should include three components: retrospective, concurrent and prospective. Retrospective is the review of patient care reports after the fact; concurrent is real-time evaluation of patient care; and prospective is anything done to improve the quality of patient care prior to the call being dispatched. This is the first of a three-part series of articles that reviews the three components of a quality improvement program and shows how each was successfully administered at Bucks County Rescue Squad and Central Bucks Ambulance--two midsized EMS agencies in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Retrospective is a Latin word meaning after (retro) and to look or see (spective). PCR (patient care report) review is the most familiar and commonly performed aspect of quality improvement. Unfortunately, in many agencies, the retrospective review may be the entire quality improvement process. The dirty little secret in EMS is that, for some agencies, even a regular retrospective review is not being done prior to a complaint being filed. Reviewing PCRs is tedious and arduous work, but it is absolutely necessary to gauge patient care. While not strictly the purview of classic quality improvement, one offshoot benefit to the medical retrospective review is the opportunity to assess documentation for legal and billing purposes.
Poor documentation costs your agency money as a result of declined or decreased insurance reimbursement. Due to the ever-increasing financial squeeze being placed on EMS, this could literally mean the difference between survival and demise for many agencies in the not too distant future. Medicare has already started reducing payments to hospitals if certain performance markers are not met. For example, hospitals that treat STEMI patients with a door-to-balloon time greater than 90 minutes will not receive full reimbursement. It doesn't take a prophet to realize that performance parameters tied to insurance reimbursements are the future of medicine. The only question is whether your agency will be ahead of the curve or playing catch-up. Fair or not, the quality of care a patient receives will most often be judged by the PCR.
Peer Review
The more PCRs you review, the better insight you will gain into the quality of care your agency is providing, as well as the job your individual providers are doing. As you look behind the curtain, be prepared for a reality check. Some who are considered the greatest EMS providers who ever lived may quickly be exposed as being quite humanly flawed, while others who are seen as nervous and timid may prove to be some of your more thorough and diligent providers. It will not always be pretty, but remember that these problems were always there; they are just now being seen for the first time. The importance of problem identification cannot be overstated. The first step in resolving any problem is recognizing and acknowledging that it exists.
Getting Started
When I took over as quality improvement coordinator, I jumped in with both feet. Knowing nothing about quality improvement, I secluded myself in an office with a month's worth of PCRs. Several hours later, when the chief came to see what happened to me, he asked what I was doing and was surprised to find me reading all of the PCRs. He opened the center desk drawer, handed me the region's quality review criteria and explained that I just needed to review all mandatory type calls like cardiac arrests, medevac flights and multisystem traumas.

The innate immune response & human disease:The human immune response has both a rapid (innate) component and a slower but more specific (adaptive) component. The adaptive immune system involves cells and immune mediators such as T cells, B cells, and antibodies. The innate immune response involves the action of phagocytic and cytotoxic cells, which migrate to the site of infection and produce antimicrobial compounds. The innate response also plays a key role in the activation of adaptive immunity and is therefore critical to host defense. The innate immune response is still poorly understood, but we are beginning to unravel its mysteries. Over the past decade, it has become clear that the innate immune system also plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, ranging from sepsis to asthma to cancer to atherosclerosis and many others, as depicted in the figure. Thus, the identification of genes that regulate the body's innate immune system can have profound consequences for the diagnosis and treatment of many common diseases. These diseases affect millions of people worldwide, and the incidence of many of these diseases is rising. For example, sepsis affects approximately 800,000 people in the U.S. annually, with a mortality rate over 20%. Similarly, asthma affects more than 17 million people in the U.S., leading to significant suffering and several thousand deaths annually. We are interested in understanding the regulation of the innate immune response, particularly as it relates to the basis for such immunological diseases.
Innate immunity gene discovery:
We are using a comparative genomics approach in several 'simple' and accessible model systems to identify novel regulators of the innate immune response. We have developed assays to monitor the response to pathogens in two different model systems: an in vivo system using the nematode C. elegans, and an in vitro system using mouse macrophage cell culture. Thus far, we have used these assays to identify genes that control the response to Gram negative bacteria, and we are now testing the role of these genes in several mouse disease models. We are also examining these genes in human patient cohorts to determine whether DNA polymorphisms in these genes affect the incidence of diseases such as sepsis. Our overall approach is illustrated schematically below:
We monitor the C. elegans immune response using transgenic worms harboring antimicrobial genes fused to Green Fluorescence Protien(GFP)
We have identified several novel candidate innate immune regulators. Many of these genes fall into two broad classes: genes that affect protein and vesicle transport within the cell and genes that regulate NF-kB activity. We have obtained mutations in several of these genes in both C. elegans and mice, and we are using these mutants to ask some key questions about how these genes regulate immunity and disease.
Membrane trafficking and the innate immune response:
When we consider the regulation of the immune response, we tend to think about signal transduction pathways and circuit diagrams that culminate in transcriptional activation. However, the location and movement of these signaling molecules within the cell also plays a key role in regulating the immune response. We have identified several genes that regulate trafficking of cellular proteins in our screens for innate immune regulators. This has led us to ask several questions:
How do genes that control membrane traffic at the cellular level lead to a defect in innate immunity at the organismal level? For example, one of the genes that we have identified is a putative RAB-GAP, which regulates RAB-mediated membrane traffic. A knockout of this gene leads to a hyper-inflammatory phenotype in a mouse cell culture model (left panel in figure);
A RAB-GAP switch controls inflammation in mouse macrophages.
Novel regulators of NF-kB activation:
We have also identified several genes that are either direct or indirect regulators of a key transcription factor in immunity, NF-kB. Are these novel genes direct or indirect regulators of this transcription factor, and how do they regulate NF-kB activity? We are now addressing these questions using genetic techniques in C. elegans and biochemical techniques in mouse cells.
Together, these avenues of investigation are allowing us to unravel the mysteries of innate immunity on a genetic and molecular level.

text: Yellow Ribbon coordinator Sireli Dausiga advocating to student the need to give inmates a second chance at life. Study hard, so that you will have better job opportunities and not end up in prison, students of Assemblies of God High School were told. Fiji Corrections Services Yellow Ribbon project coordinator, Chief Corrections Officer Isireli Dausiga made the comment while addressing them at the school this week. "From the Corrections own observation, the department has noticed that a lot of criminal activities are committed by young people," said Mr Dausiga. He said to reduce criminal activities in the country, students should be taught the values and the seriousness of education. "Students get addicted fast to modern technologies which in turn drive them to engage in irrelevant activities. "We need to drive the message through to our future leaders so that they are aware and make wise decisions before they commit criminal activities," said Mr Dausiga. He said such awareness is an opportune time to educate students to stay away from illegal activities. Students were also told to change their mindset and attitude towards inmates. "That is the reason we introduce this program – the Yellow Ribbon – it comes with support, courage and above all giving a second chance to our brothers and sisters who have gone off track." He says students always have different perceptions about inmates and it is vital to change their mindset at an early age since most of them also have relatives behind bars. Mr Dausiga said the FCS intended to visit few more schools before the end of this year. "There are 176 schools. Out of this, we have covered 101 schools from 2009 until to date". www.corrections.org.fj |

Reputation Management For Attorneys And Law Firms
According to the ABA, there are approximately 1,100,000 attorneys in the United States. Nearly 26 percent of these attorneys are self-employed, practicing either as partners in law law firms or in solo practices.
In 2003, law law firms including solo practitioners generated more than $180 billion in revenues in 2003 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Law law firm revenues represent about 18% of the professional service sector and approximately 4% of the overall service industry in the USA.
Attracting clients to hire you and your law firm is immensely challenging today. The Internet has shifted the balance of power. Your online reputation is now critical to your law law firm's profitability.
Now, everybody and their brother or sister thinks they are a legal critic working for American Lawyer, the National Law Journal, the NY Times or the Legal Intelligencer. The web has empowered your worst nightmare: irate clients AND jealous competitors who wish to tarnish you or your law firm's reputation.
Now, anyone with an email address can write false reviews that persuade potential clients to completely avoid your law firm. This trend can cause serious revenue declines.
Peace of mind is just a telephone call away. Attorney Reputation Management delivers real results fast. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive Online Reputation Management services for the legal industry.

Most people choose Amadeus to celebrate their birthday parties, and you will find people from 20 to 45 years. At 1:00 am there is usually a band that plays classics. It is very popular! You can play pool and bowling. Their bowling alley is good but it is not a professional one. They offer discounts if you play several lanes. They usually have great DJs too. Their best drinks are without a doubt Sex on the Beach and Daiquiris. Depending on the day they offer free pizza too. -Ignacio Casais

Editorial Review
My devotion to the Independent Fabrication XS lies somewhere beyond reason, but I would not love the bike as I do if its performance and aesthetics were not impeccable. Artistically, the XS is ideally executed--from the welds to the flawless paint to the sculpting of the lugs to the sterling silver badge to the type styles and design of the logo and other graphics and, finally, all the way down to the catalog, website and other elements that create the narrative of what the company -believes in.
The performance--the ride--is where the IF rises above the other great bikes I've ridden. It's not that my Indy Fab is better than any of them. It's simply better for me. All custom builders aspire to that claim. Not all of them deliver to such a degree. I've had three other bikes built specifically for me. Indy Fab was the first builder that accurately designed in excruciating detail what I desired--then altered my vision in ways that made the final bike better than I'd imagined it could be. One example: I feel best on classic, now-unfashionable, slack-Euro geometry. I supplied IF's Matt Bracken with the dimensions of a bike that epitomized my preference. IF's first design suggested chainstays half a millimeter longer, a 5mm-longer measurement from the bottom bracket to the fork dropout (sometimes called the "front-center"), a top tube 6mm shorter and a slightly shorter trail of 57mm. (Vastly simplified, trail is a measurement of how far the front wheel's contact patch lies behind the steering axis; reducing trail increases responsiveness; increasing trail increases stability; 56 to 57 is considered neutral.) I wanted shorter chainstays--I like having the wheel under me when I climb and don't mind the extra harshness and slight loss of true tracking in corners--and was worried the shorter top tube would end up feeling cramped and that the overall length would ever so slightly harm responsiveness while, meanwhile, the slight reduction in trail would be just enough to tip the bike away from the aim-and-forget gravel-road stability I like. After several days and e-mails and somewhere above 10 phone calls, IF showed me a new design with shorter chainstays, a shorter front center (and thus, a shorter overall wheelbase)--and even less trail. "Let us build this and it will be what you want more than you understand what you want," Bracken told me. "Trust us." I did. And the bike rides as if alchemy were a reality: Every little nugget I ever liked about my favorite personal and test bikes has somehow been transmuted into one priceless ride. Climbs, crits, dirt roads, world-championship training rides and stupidly hard lunch rides--somehow my IF does it all, exquisitely. I'm aware, of course, that a $6,000 frame ought to feel at least near-perfect. But because customization is part of the deal at IF, you'd get the same attention to detail, and to your desires, if you order the $1,900 steel Crown Jewel. Built up with Campy Record, stock American Classic Sprint 350 wheels, Keo Carbon pedals and Elite carbon cages, the XS weighs 15.8 pounds. I've had it as light as 14.06, but anything less than 18 is fine with me--I obsess over my weight, not my bike's. The frame could have been built lighter--all tubing is selected to match the rider--but I told Bracken weight was a distant third behind performance and ride quality. After three years and more than 16,000 miles with IF, I'm sure: This time, it's for life. Reader Reviews Average Reader Review:

When owner Phil Evarts dies suddenly, the speculation in the territory is that Hatcher will be broken up, especially since it was Evarts' determination coupled with Ballard's skills as a foreman and gunman that held it together -- but Ballard decides that the ranch is worth saving, even though the only help he really has is one top hand (Chill Wills, in a beautifully restrained performance) and a couple of young brothers (Al Caudebec, Roydon Clark) picked up on the trail. He figures it's worth saving for what it is, and also for Evarts' daughter, Celia (Ella Raines), who is engaged to marry neighboring rancher Sam Danfelser (Forrest Tucker). Ballard and Sam were once friends, but as the foreman discovers, there's been bad blood brewing on the other side of the friendship for a long time, mostly out of Sam's jealousy -- not only is Ballard a better rider and a better gun, but he's a better man than he is, and he can't abide the fact that Celia knows this deep in her heart, even though she and Sam are engaged. Then there's Bide Marriner (Brian Donlevy), a local "operator" who'd love to get a range war started and grab up some land and cattle, and immediately uses friends and intermediaries, plus a few hired guns, to start spreading the word, convincing the neighboring ranchers that Hatcher land is free and open. And then there's Lottie Priest, whom Ballard figured to marry soon -- is she more interested in what her greedy father can make from the breakup of Hatcher? Caught in the middle of it all is the county sheriff, Joe Kneen (J. Carrol Naish), who'd like to stay civil with all of those involved but soon finds out that he's going to have to choose sides, and that he's too good a man for that to be the "easy" choice. There's a lot of back-shooting in Ride the Man Down, as well as some brilliantly and cleverly designed action sequences, and a level of duplicity in the characters that makes this picture play at time almost more like a film noir of the period. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

The world is afire with stories about non-functional senators today, so I might as well add my own.
When I was a baby newspaper reporter, I went to cover a hearing presided over by the venerable Stephen M. Young (D-OH). Young was first elected to the Senate in 1958 at the age of 70. When I saw him he was in the middle of his second term; I reckon he was about 76. Young began the hearing by barking:
--Where's the chairman? The chairman isn't here. Madame clerk, I want the record to show the chairman isn't here to begin the hearing.
--Uh, Senator, you are the chairman.
Young served another four years after that.

Seaspan adds $3.3-billion federal shipbuilding contract to its portfolio
A cluster of Seaspan workers smiled behind the scene on Monday, as federal Minister of Public Works and Government Services Diane Finley announced another 10 non-combat vessels will be built at the North Vancouver shipyard.
The estimated $3.3-billion project to build five medium-endurance, multi-tasked vessels and five offshore patrol vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard is adding steam to the existing $8-billion, seven-vessel shipbuilding contract Seaspan was awarded two years ago.
Standing inside a brand-new sub-assembly building — part of Seaspan's $200-million upgrade to prepare for the forthcoming projects — Percy Darbyson, business manager for Allied Shipbuilders Union local 506, spoke to The Outlook about renewed optimism at the local shipyard.
"I know all the workers in the yard are ecstatic over the long-term work — and they look forward to being able to have a future within the shipyard that at one point we weren't sure whether that was going to happen or not," said Darbyson. "We didn't think there was any future for shipbuilding on the West Coast — now it looks great."
As Seaspan looks to hire 4,000 new employees to build the vessels, the question remains: Will the majority of them live in the community?
"At one time they were mainly [living] on the North Shore," said Darbyson "Now they are spread out throughout the [Fraser] Valley because of the cost of living on the North Shore and the cost of living in Vancouver."
Speaking to the gathered media, Finley said, all told, the federal government is committing $38.3 billion to the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy, which in turn is expected to generate $2 billion annually in economic benefits.
"That, ladies and gentlemen, represents a lot of good stable jobs for Canadians — particularly here in B.C.," said Finley.
John Weston, MP for West Van-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country, told The Outlook that he's heard from Seaspan of their plans to hire 65 employees in the near term.
"But there are so many follow-on jobs from that," added Weston. "So I think that [65] is probably a base minimum. It's a very big day for the North Shore."
The modernization of Seaspan's shipyards is expected to be completed in time for the start of construction on the first new ship next October — an offshore fisheries science vessel.

LNG Controversy Dogs Every Step of the Policy Process
Reporting for the Malibu Times at first, Hans Laetz looks into Australian Energy Conglomerate BHP Billiton's plans to "build a liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal floating off the local coast." But after two months, Laetz was removed from coverage by the Times amid criticism, possibly due to the fact BHP Billiton was an advertising client of the Times. He then was picked up by the Malibu Surfside News, and continued to tell a tale of the various aspects of the deal: how BHP got a smog waiver after White House officials overruled local Environmental Protection Agency officials, the safety and pollution risks of the project; citizens' letters supporting the project to the government, which turned out mostly to be fake; and the opposition of state and federal parks officials to the project.

in response to prkerber:
There are a number of folks in prison for shooting thru their front door and killing a drunk who thought he was trying to get into his own home, or in similar situations. In some cases, a parent killed their child. Any self-defense instructor will say it's insane to fire a weapon thru a door.....period!
I would posit that everyone who owns a gun should be required to take a self-defense course and not only demonstrate how to safely handle and fire their weapon but also show a level of common sense as to when to use said weapon. It amazes me that a gun safety course in Washington isn't even required for a concealed carry permit. When I applied for my first CCW (in Alaska) right after the law was enacted in 1994, an extensive safety course was required, including accurately hitting a silhouette. I was thankful for that requirement as one woman in the class didn't even come close and was not issued the permit. Unfortunately, Alaska has since dropped that requirement.
The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that you cannot force a person to get a license, pay a fee, or pass a course to exercise your constitutional rights. The state of Mississippi once had a mandatory literacy requirement in order to vote which would make sense, but at the time was merely a backdoor way of curtailing the black vote. Your suggestion would do the same and only burden poor people from protecting themselves and exercising rights.

Suspected Nazi War Criminal Works As Beekeeper In Canada
Ormstown, Quebec – Propped up by a shovel that acts as his cane, Vladimir Katriuk putters about his wooded lot in rural Quebec, lovingly caring for his bees and appearing to have few worries other than this season's honey yield.
But a prominent Jewish human-rights organization insists there's much more to the cordial 91-year-old beekeeper — whom they allege is of the world's most-wanted Nazi war criminals.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center recently ranked Katriuk No. 4 on its top-10 list of suspected former Nazis, after a new study alleged he was a key participant in a village massacre during the Second World War....

Who Owns the Future
"Everyone complains about the Internet, but no one does anything about it...except for Jaron Lanier."
—Neal Stephenson, bestselling author of Reamde and Cryptonomicon
"Who Owns the Future? explains what's wrong with our digital economy, and tells us how to fix it. Listen up!"
—George Dyson, bestselling author of Turing's Cathedral
"Who Owns the Future? is a deeply original and sometimes startling read. Lanier does not simply question the dominant narrative of our technological age, but picks it up by the neck and shakes it. A refreshing and important book that will make you see the world differently."
— Tim Wu, author of The Master Switch
"This book is rare. It looks at technology with an insider's knowledge, wisdom, and deep caring about human beings. It's badly needed."
—W. Brian Arthur, author of The Nature of Technology
Web resources related to "Who Owns the Future"
Material written by Jaron:
A piece for Scientific American:
How To Think About Privacy
An opinion piece for the New York Times on June 8:
Fixing the Digital Economy
This is a short intro from Jaron to a few of the ideas in the book:
Wired Magazine, April 05
An op ed written for the New York Post:
Own the future!
An "Viewpoint" written for Time:
Does Facebook Owe Its Users Money?
An essay written for BBC News Business:

A piece for The Nation:
The Meta Question: What is the NSA doing with your metadata?
An article from Future Tense and Slate:
Justice for Alan Turing? The legendary computer scientist and codebreaker may finally receive a posthumous pardon. So what?
An opinion piece for the New York Times on November 27:
Digital Passivity
Reviews of "Who Owns the Future:"
Named 11th Best Book of 2013 by Amazon.com
"Lanier makes a persuasive case, and it's hard to dispute his suggestions for the future until we get there."
The Telegraph
"Jaron Lanier is a digital visionary with a difference."
The Observer
"Lanier has a poet's sensibility and his book reads like a hallucinogenic reverie, full of entertaining haiku-like observations and digressions."
Financial Times
"… one of the triumphs of Lanier's intelligent and subtle book is its inspiring portrait of the kind of people that a democratic information economy would produce. His vision implies that if we are allowed to lead absorbing, properly remunerated lives, we will likewise outgrow our addiction to consumerism and technology. Lanier's New World is founded on hard, fulfilling work. He concedes that such a radical reorganisation of worth will demand from us new levels of maturity, discipline and collective responsibility – but then who said dignity should be downloadable for free?"
The Guardian, February 27
The Plain Dealer, Cleveland.com
Columbia Journalism Review discussion including books from Gavin Newsom and Evgeny Morozov
Included in Janet Maslin's roundup of beach reads in the New York Times
Included in the Washington Post's "Summer reads for business leaders"

Remember the classic movie Casablanca? It played through my mind several times last month in China as I became fast friends with Eileen Keithly Lee. And our experience is a good example of what can happen when conditions are right for mutually beneficial success.
Eileen, president and managing director of Pittsburgh-based US Trading Solutions, was also a speaker at the fifth annual Outdoor Lifestyle Hangzhou. While my speech shared Casual Living research data on the size of the American outdoor furniture market and the importance of China as our primary supplier, Eileen focused on growing global partnerships.
We met just before the opening banquet. Within moments, another attendee asked whether Eileen and I had known each other long and if we were from the same place. I explained we had just met and told him that I live in North Carolina and she lives in South Carolina. Most Americans differentiate between North and South, whether it boils down to variations in region, state, city or county. I soon found similar distinctions true between North and South China.
Any differences between Eileen and I quickly faded as we learned more about Chinese businesses, toured factories and survived scary high-speed van rides.
As she spoke during the trade show, Eileen described how to build successful collaborative relationships. The first challenge is overcoming fear. My good friend Margaret Chang, COO of Treasure Garden, was brave enough to serve as one of two volunteers Eileen blindfolded and asked to reach into a moving bag. Margaret yanked out a furry object and threw it into the air. The point of this demonstration was to push past fears of the unknown and work toward understanding differences and recognizing similarities.
Eileen advised the international audience, made up mostly of Chinese but also of European, Middle Eastern and Australian buyers, that they have to get to know the way their customers do business. For example, American buyers tend to be transitionally oriented while Chinese tend to be relationship driven.
Building trust and confidence as you target a good-fit buyer or supplier requires time, patience and listening. Those factors go beyond language and cultural obstacles. Merchandising effectively is another requirement. Being able to tell your story from the point of view of the other person is a key factor in building a successful business relationship, she told the audience.
In short time, Eileen and I forgot we hailed from different Southern states, focused on our similarities in the home furnishings industry and felt as close as sisters. I'm looking forward to hosting her at my home this month while we attend the High Point Market. When school is out in June, my 16-year-old son and I are invited to visit Eileen and her 15-year-old son at their home. I can already imagine those teen-age boys scoping out the girls and hanging out at the beach.
Some might call this personal connection a win-win while others may describe it as a collaborative relationship that propels success. Or, as the famous line from Casablanca says, "it's the start of a beautiful friendship."

Report: Lionsgate cranks open for YouTube
The common wisdom might be that the film industry loathes Google's YouTube, but that might be changing.
Lions Gate Entertainment, the studio responsible for classics like Dirty Dancing and recent TV hits like Weeds, has signed a revenue-sharing deal with the video hub.
It was alluded to by Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the Madison & Vine conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, subsequently confirmed by Lionsgate.
It's not clear how extensive this deal will be. Presumably, it means that Lionsgate would create a branded "channel" on YouTube, and serve … Read more

Give Away, Day 8 with the King of Rock 'n Roll
18 comments:
Oh dear! Snowmen seem to have caught my attention this year. Please throw my name in the dog dish. I'm even wearing snowman socks today!
BTW Birdbrain is now recommending Sticky Fabri-Solvy instead of Transfer Eze. Apparently it comes in a full 8.5 X 11 sheet that makes it easier to run through your printer/copier. It also comes in 11 X 17 for larger designs.Thank you Anna for picking me as the lucky winner for day 7. It is one of Robin's patterns that I have not stitched. It will be a project for the new year. I have sent you an email with my snail mail address... today's snowman pattern is sEw cute. Thanks again for the redwork sampler pattern...(o: Pauline
ReplyDeleteI truly LOVE Valdani thread, so now I'm going to go have to look at the tweeds! My set of hand dyed Valdani thread was purchased from The Stitchin' Post a few years back, so perhaps they still carry it.
I'll be looking forward to the tutorial on Transfer Eze too, since I've never used it before.
Your snowman is very cute, and since I too am a snowman collector, I am hoping against hope that I win the pattern!!! My daughter collects snowmen too! So I **NEED** to win so that I can make her one for her house!

Rory McIlory and Caroline Wozniacki's careers hurting as their relationship goes from strength to strength
By: Amy Andrews | Published Friday, July 6, 2012, 8:45 AM | Updated Friday, July 6, 2012, 8:45 AM
Caroline Wozniacki and Gerry McIlroy at Portrush (David Cannon/Getty Images)
Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki may be lucky in love – but their careers seem to be taking a poison hit from cupid's arrow.
Wozniacki, the blond Danish pro tennis player who McIlroy fell hard for last year, used to be the top ranked pro in the world. Now she's only won one low-level tournament in the year she's been dating McIlroy and she's had several early exits, including being ousted from Wimbledon in the first round last week.
Her departure from the English tourney allowed her to travel to Antrim to watch McIlroy compete in the Irish Open. She was the dutiful galpal, walking the course in the rain and cheering on her man . . . but all he could muster was a tie for 10th place, seven shots behind the winner, Jamie Donaldson.
McIlroy won the U.S. Open title last year in thrilling fashion, but last month he couldn't even make the cut when attempting to defend it in San Francisco.
Love hurts, it seems, but Wozniacki says her poor form has nothing to do with McIlroy.
"No," was her curt response when asked that question point blank by a reporter delving for information after her Wimbledon ouster.
But a newspaper in Denmark, The Copenhagen Post, disagrees, saying that the Woz has turned into a dud.
"It's the story all good tabloid sports journalists dream of – and it's been sitting under their noses for the best part of four months. And now, game, set and match, it's finally official -- Caroline Wozniacki's relationship with Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy is seriously damaging the health of her tennis career," opines the paper, offering one damning stat after another.
At least Woz has one ace in her corner. The legendary Chris Evert, winner of multiple grand slams, says Rory can't be faulted for his girl's on court lack of form.
"When she racked up all those ranking points last year, Serena and Venus Williams were out of the game and Victoria Azarenka had not come on strong. There was an opening and Caroline was the most consistent player," she said. "I don't think Caroline's tennis is slipping because she is in love."
Evert has three busted marriages behind her, including a brief one to golf pro Greg Norman, so she knows of what she speaks. (Or maybe not . . .)
McIlroy, for his part, seemed to enjoy having his lady by his side last week. He tweeted about seeing a movie with her in Belfast, and several photos showed him grinning from ear to ear while he walked the Royal Portrush course.
Rory McIlroy and Bill Murray
McIlroy also hung out with the one and only Bill Murray, a Saturday Night Live original and star of Groundhog Day among other films. Murray was in Portrush to play in the pro-am tournament alongside Graeme McDowell.

Excitate vos e somno, liberi mei.
Cunae non sunt.
Excitate vos e somno, liberi fatali.
Somnus non eat.
Wake up, my children
The cradle is no longer
Wake up, children of destiny
The peaceful rest is no longer
-- "Liberi Fatali", Final Fantasy VIII
Why does life have to be so complicated? Really, it's not so much the complexity of the current situations that I find myself having to deal with and navigate through soon, it's the capricious nature of everything. One moment I was in "peaceful rest", and now this.
It's not all bad -- in fact, some of it is exciting -- but in many ways, I'm presented with the opportunity to really take some leaps of faith, both professionally and personally. I've talked the talk... can I walk the walk? Many of my friends have gone down these paths I find myself treading in parallel -- and now I start to cautiously tread in their footsteps.
Yesterday afternoon, trying not to be overwhelmed by what God threw at me in seemingly rapid succession and the irresistable human urge to find out What It All Means when only God knows the answer, I went to Crestview to witness its last moments, and helped Rich, Ilaria, dT, Sohi, and Nancy throw out a pile of remaining odds and ends. As Slim observed, seeing the empty rooms that previously housed seven of the coolest guys I've had the privilege of knowing and their various accompaniments looked so surreal -- to the point where I wished I had my camera with me to document it. Even though I wasn't intimately involved in their daily lives, I had my share of fun hangout times there as well and good memories of that place. Crestview's change -- is it to be symbolic of what might happen to me soon?
From Crestview, I went to GrX small group, which was quite enjoyable for me too. I'm glad that I've come across such a great, dynamic church in the South Bay, and that I've even started to find a niche within that community -- much more quicker it seems than it took for me with KCPC or Wellspring. As with Crestview, being with friends and at least starting to tell them about my potential future path -- involving Asia, missions, and perhaps even gaming -- really did a lot to take my mind off of some of the other issues on my plate...
Anyhow, just chilling with Rich that afternoon, even though it was relatively brief, made me happy, talking about his future plans to corner the boba market, and experiencing his playful teasing and his uncanny ability to make me laugh uncontrollably for minutes on end. =) The more things change, the more they stay the same. Or I guess, to be more honest, the more uncertainty comes my way, the more solace I find in the familiar things of my life.
Was my time with Richie the first of a long string of farewells that I might be going through in the next few months?
No matter what I decide, as for the future, the only thing I'm sure about is that my character will be strengthened. I know that much, and that gives me a sense of hope.

Popular literature of today worries me, especially that of the "teen" variety. Bad writing, horrible messages, complete and total disregard for any form of established mythos… it makes me die inside. Yes, I love that kids are actually reading. But I hate that what they're reading is the equivalent of somebody being told to bake a cake and instead just hand you a beat-up old shoe on a plate.
Being one of those "everything is a Twilight-esque mess and therefore bad" thinkers made it very hard for me to accept the latest craze, The Hunger Games. My thoughts for the last few years have been pretty much stuck on "Idiot teenagers today like it. So it has to suck." Not giving them much credit, but they haven't done much to show they deserve it either. That train of thought made it hard to believe that I was actually curious about the series. Part of that was because of the movie coming out (though I had NEVER seen a trailer for it), another part was the fact that it didn't seem to have anything to do with the supernatural, a rarity today. So while staring longingly at a few things on the Harry Potter table at my local Barnes and Noble, I noticed the table set up next to it was one featuring The Hunger Games. Curiosity took over and I found myself reading the back of the book.
I wasn't expecting what I read—children fighting to the death in a post apocalyptic setting? Interesting. That would be how I made my first "popular book" purchase in who knows how long (I think the last giant seller I bought was the final Harry Potter book back in 2007, or The Tales of Beedle the Bard).
It took me a few days to actually start reading it, but once I started, I could NOT put this book down. I liked it. I really, really liked it. The writing wasn't awful (unless 1st person bothers you), there was actually a plot, there were interesting characters and development… it was good.
This gave me a sliver of hope. Something that didn't suck was successful. Something that wasn't full of bad was being read by thousands of people and hopefully showing them that the world of literature has so much to offer. I almost feel bad for having judged hit books so harshly in recent years. If things keep up like this, then just maybe all hope isn't lost after all.

Alternative rock band My Chemical Romance has announced that "Planetary (Go!)", from their upcoming album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, will be featured as the "lead song in the opening cinematic" of Gran Turismo 5. Before you run over to YouTube or anywhere else to preview the song – don't bother. The album will not be released until November 22, and as of right now, there's no way to listen to it.
(If you do run over to YouTube – and yes, I know you will – don't be fooled by the troll who claims to have uploaded "Planetary (Go!)". As confirmed by our own SolidSnakex and SoundHound, that's not it.)
Keep in mind that GT intro tunes have always varied by region, so this may or may not be what you'll hear when you first fire up the game. Here's a copy of the full press release:
BURBANK, CA–(October 19, 2010) – "Planetary (GO!)," a track off My Chemical Romance's upcoming new album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, will be featured as the lead song in the opening cinematic of Sony Playstation's Gran Turismo® 5 video game, available exclusively on Playstation® 3 this holiday.
"Gran Turismo is one of the most beloved videogame franchises of all time, with fans across the globe," says My Chemical Romance's lead singer Gerard Way. "Having a song featured as the lead intro to GT5 allows us to reach fans beyond radio and online and into a totally different platform. We are thrilled that our song is going to be the first thing you hear when you boot up the game."
My Chemical Romance are currently making waves at Alternative radio with their new single "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)," off Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, which will be released by Reprise Records on November 22nd, 2010. The album was produced by new Warner Bros. Records Chairman Rob Cavallo, who produced MCR's platinum-selling album The Black Parade as well as albums by Dave Matthews Band, Jawbreaker, and The Goo Goo Dolls, among many others.
