Heirloom Finds recently had the opportunity to coordinate with local body-positive portrait studio Hot Tomato Pin-up Academy and actress Scarlet Sheppard on a day-long photoshoot. Scarlet grew up near HF Headquarters in Parkersburg, West Virginia and graduated with honors from Columbia College Chicago's theatre program. She currently resides in Southern California and can be found appearing in film, stage and new media productions. We caught up with her to ask her about her modeling experience and personal jewelry favorites.
How was your experience modeling for our recent photo shoot at Hot Tomato Pin-up Academy?
I absolutely loved modeling some of your newest pieces at Hot Tomato! There was so much gorgeous-ness to choose from; I wish we could have done at least a dozen more looks. I especially loved working with photographer Andi Roberts. She was so quick yet precise in setting up each shot. And now seeing the photos, how they're lit and composed, I really see her vision and am extra impressed!
What did you like about the jewelry you were modeling?
I'll be honest, I don't typically wear a lot of jewelry. I'm pretty petite (a.k.a. short!) and I think that's made me shy away from accessories in general because they sometimes make me feel like a little kid playing dress up in her mother's closet. But as glamorous and bold as each piece was, I didn't feel overwhelmed by any of it. I was wearing the jewelry, it wasn't wearing me! That's true for each of the collections, even the uber glamorous Old Hollywood line. Each piece at Heirloom Finds has that vintage heirloom feel as though it's been passed down from one chic generation of women to the next.
How did you come to be an actress and model? What do you like about the work you do?
Well, I started dancing with the local ballet company around age four and really loved that. Soon it became obvious that I loved performing in any capacity (a.k.a. I was a total ham) so when I was asked to do some commercials and print modeling around town, my parents supported me doing that although they were very careful not to become "stage parents." I had to be motivated to do these things for myself. So I just auditioned for everything I could in the Mid-Ohio Valley and started planning a path towards acting professionally that inevitably took me to Los Angeles. Along the way, I've met various filmmakers and photographers who need models for their projects and kindly think of me. That's been super fun and a bit of a surprise! I never thought I could model for real. My interest in acting and modeling both grew out of a love of dance, I think. Each is about placing yourself in a new world and allowing the stories of that world to move through you physically.
How would you describe your personal style? Do you have a special approach to fashion? What do you wear on a given day?
I love fashion and sometimes feel like a clothing collector, but I try not to take it too seriously. I wear things that make me happy! Maybe I'd call it "whimsical, cowgirl flower child?" That's ridiculous, but accurate. I'm inspired by my favorite films and the actresses in them. I have these ankle laced gladiator sandals (which I actually wore for the boho collection photos!) that remind me a lot of the ones Audrey Hepburn wears in Roman Holiday when she gets her hair cut and eats gelato. I always have my trusty, brown leather, map-faced watch on with some kind of delicate gold bracelet alongside it. Or sometimes I'll just let a big, colorful statement necklace do all the talking!
Do you have any favorite pieces from the Heirloom Finds catalog?
YES! The Opalescent Fan Statement Necklace, Burgundy Warrior Tassel Pendant, Silver Spring Pastels Diadem Statement Necklace, Stone Geode Statement Ring and the Rose Quartz Orb Topped Goldtone Cuff Bracelet are all in my suitcase at this very moment.
Do you have any advice for anyone pursuing a career in acting or modeling?
Be easy and fun to work with! "Networking" is an icky word, but the more people you meet and show kindness to (in life, as well as in your career) the happier you'll be and the more opportunities will come your way. Be on time, be excited to be at whatever photoshoot or audition or job or rehearsal the day presents you with. Be ready to do your best. Ideally, this will just come naturally because this type of work IS so much fun. But it's still a job and sometimes you'd rather be in bed. That's okay, but don't forget to be grateful that you've been asked to come and play!

ESPN-"I screwed up," Martin said Friday, a day after the school suspended him for Saturday's regular-season finale at Mississippi State. "I'm not perfect. I've got issues and I've got to work through them."
Would have never, EVER guessed that Frank Martin had personal issues he needed to work through. Sure, I've seen more diversity inside of a Springfield check cashing bodega than I have on Frank Martin's google image page but I didn't think his perpetual loaf pinching face meant he was potentially unstable. Really makes me question my own sanity…

A letter to my former self… the one with the first newborn baby!
So, here you are, newly sprogged up and from what I can remember feeling unbelievably happy yet overwhelmed and a bit sore and teary. I mean wow what a shock right… the baby is ACTUALLY REAL! All that careful planning in advance… the nursery that was decorated by the time you were 20 weeks pregnant, the full drawers of baby gro's all neatly folded and 'ironed' (you really didn't need to do that – seriously)… all the shiny new things (didn't really need all that either)… the ante-natal classes, the app you followed to see what type of vegetable you had in your tummy that minute… didn't actually prepare you THIS at all right?
And now you are likely sitting there, holding the baby with the beautiful blue eyes, who looks like her daddy, who is likely crying… thinking ok…'groundhog moment' why are you crying now… I got the 'change, eat, wind, sleep, repeat memo' and now we are crying… and I really don't want to feed you again because it hurts… and I need a wee… and I don't know if I can just leave you for a minute while I go and make a drink, I mean something might happen when I am not watching…
So former self… here's what I found out in the past 3 years;
Babies cry – period. The best advice we got was to follow, change, eat, wind, sleep and repeat – but in all that 'process' they forgot to tell you that it is absolutely ok to sit there and hold your baby, cuddle your baby, let them sleep on you a bit (it really doesn't do any harm at all), and that you can leave then for five minutes while you take a pee or make yourself a snack….
So if in doubt take a deep breath and give them a big cuddle. Though winding is a total bitch… but you can actually do both together
Feeding – I remember there was an enormous amount of pressure to breast feed. I felt it from the ante natal classes, the other mums (who did so well at it), the midwives in the hospital (who thought nothing of manhandling your boobs to 'get them going'), the baby crying on your lap, your husband repositioning bubba because you got the latch wrong (I mean seriously!!)…
Both times I tried. The first time, I tried for much longer until we got the hang of it (took about 2 months – which is a long time when your baby insists on feeding for 15 times in 24 hours). Of course that meant we never really went anywhere because my baby would feed for an hour – rather than 5 minutes like other children – so you always felt the wally round the table with the cold cup of tea you couldn't reach and people leaving because they needed to get back and you are still stuck there with a baby under your shawl (scarred for life… nooooo)
That said, I did start to enjoy it eventually but switched to formula at 5 months because I was going back to work. The second time round was probably about the same level of stress, but I only put myself through the pain and effort for two weeks – I just couldn't. And I had more confidence the second time round to tell midwives that yes, we were fine, we were combination feeding… and that was it they left us to it. Of course when you hear a new mum in the cubicle next to you whose baby is screaming for milk, the mother crying and trying her darnest to squeeze milk on to a plastic spoon and just can't because with C-section babies it takes a little longer for our milk to come in. Seriously, I don't understand why the decision isn't just made to feed the baby with a bottle short term to limit the levels of distress in the baby and the mother… but that's another rant for another time.
So in short – you are not letting ANYONE down if you chose bottle or breast. Do what's right for you and your baby. As long as you feed the baby milk you are winning!
Loneliness – again this is totally normal – and if you were at work surrounded by people one day and then the next it's just you, a baby, the odd visitor and daytime telly I am not surprised you had moments where you felt lonely. One thing you shouldn't be afraid of is reaching out to people. Yes, they are at work or even some are in the same boat as you (so busy themselves) but for the most part if you have just had a little person, most people do tend to leave you to it – thinking you need time alone to sleep, bond, sleep… etc. Telephones, mobiles, whatsapp groups and forums on places like Mumsnet, Babycenter, Mush are all ways to help you get you through.
So don't be a martyr ring someone or better still get out– babies are surprisingly resilient when you leave the house…
Sleep – Ha well this is one we still haven't mastered- sorry love its true! With the first we diligently watched her sleep (instead of sleeping when she did), and just left her to fall asleep when she had screamed enough. Of course, I hadn't twigged then you actually had to put the baby 'down' for a nap as opposed to exhaust her to sleep. For the first 6 months of life her coping mechanism for being in strange situations was to actually crash out. But then the 'baby whisperer' book came in handy and we then followed that to the letter around the 6 months mark because I was freaking out about returning to work. After leaving bubba thrashing about in the cot for 'nap' time we handed over the dummy… 2 hours later of peace and quiet and not really knowing what to do – whether to sleep, eat digestives or watch Game of Thrones on catch up she finally stirred. And that was that… 3 years on we are down to one dummy and can we shake it? Upside is she sleeps through 7 till 7… not so with number two and when I find out the answer to that I'll let you know. She started off well, we put her down for naps at the very beginning, she self-soothed and we thought we had cracked it at about 4 months… then it went wrong. Teeth, moving about, solids all have a part to play and now we are sometimes down to one wake up in the night for milk…. I guess we have to ride this one out as we are still learning!
Every child is different – clearly! So what might work with one, may not work with another. Comfort blankets and dummy's have their place too.
PS: whatever you do, go with your instincts – you are mummy, you know what's best as they are part of you and you can't go wrong.
Also do pick up the phone and talk to people if it gets too much… People can't help if you don't ask
Remember you are great – you are Mummy!

Our registration for the Thrive 2019 Winter Retreat is officially open! We are hoping to host 75 Global Women in Tuscany, Italy. We are now ready to begin putting together our 2019 Italy Volunteer Team. We are prayerfully hoping that God will build up a volunteer team of 35 women who are willing to serve our sisters. Is God leading you to be part of His work this February?Download Volunteer Flyer
Our volunteers serve and engage with the Global Women in many, many ways throughout the retreat. These are just some of the ways God may use you:
Each morning we will gather together for a time of worship and teaching, during which we will meet in small groups. Many women seldom get to receive deep Biblical teaching or worship in English, so this is a rich time that the women love. The afternoons are free time, during which they can sleep, shop, talk with friends, or receive some of the services listed above. The evenings are a casual time when we enjoy activities that allow us to laugh together, something many women don't do nearly enough on the field! Throughout the retreat, we hope that you will be developing relationships with these women, listening to their stories, and lavishing the love of Christ upon them. We will have some guidelines for your involvement at the retreat but will primarily be asking you to observe what needs are present in the group and initiate your own involvement in meeting those needs.
Thrive will handle all of the travel arrangements for you once our time together begins. We will stay at Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa and eat most of our meals on site at the hotel. You will be sharing a room with another member of the volunteer team unless you would like to cover the financial difference to have a single room (when available, based on hotel occupancy).
All of the meals for your time with us (excluding meals while traveling) will be included in the total amount of support that you raise for the trip. During the retreat we will eat at the hotel with the attendees. On the days before, between, and after the retreats we will eat either at the hotel or at local restaurants. We will research various restaurants ahead of time, but it is important to know that plans for our meals often change at the last minute based upon the fluctuating schedule of preparing for the retreat. Be sure to bring a flexible attitude with you, because we never know exactly what kind of food we will have!!
We will begin our volunteer staff time the evening of 02/14/2019 (depending on flight schedules). If you desire to arrive a day early, we can make arrangements at the resort for you. We will then adjust your cost/support goal accordingly. Please let me know of this request as soon as possible to ensure availability.
Whenever you travel, there are many unknown variables that can throw you off track without a moment's notice. Because of this, it is imperative that volunteers come with few expectations and a very flexible attitude. We will do our best to cover all the details, but inevitably there will be times when plans change and things simply don't go as expected. Flexibility is key when it comes to being a true servant at the retreat as well. While most people will have a particular area to focus on during self-care time, you may need to jump in and meet a need at the last minute. We are trusting that the Holy Spirit will guide your conversations and experiences throughout the trip, and He may lead you to minister in a way you never expected. Be open to His promptings!!
The main way to prepare yourself is through prayer. We cannot say enough about the mighty ways we have seen our Lord work through His servants when we are dedicated to seeking Him in prayer. We encourage you to have a spirit of prayer as you consider your involvement on a Thrive retreat. We trust that He will bring exactly the right volunteer members along for every retreat and are confident that He will lead you in the right way as you seek after Him.
The estimated cost for a Thrive volunteer member for the 2019 Italy Retreat is $4200. This cost is based on a shared double room, travel expenses, all meals, meeting expenses, gratuities and other miscellaneous expenses. All additional costs for food, etc. while traveling to and from the retreat location are personal expenses that are yours to cover. Many volunteers choose to raise support for their trip with Thrive and you are welcome to do this as well. We will provide you with guidelines for writing a support letter, as well as materials to help you share with others about the ministry of Thrive. Your support money can be raised through Thrive, which allows donors to receive a tax-deductible receipt.
We typically receive more applications than we can accommodate for each retreat. After prayerfully reviewing all applications, team will be chosen.
Thank you for your desire to serve with us. We look forward to "meeting" you!
If you have more questions please contact us.

Virat Kohli: I had no clue Mohammed Shami's daughter was in the ICU
Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami did not inform his team-mates that his daughter was in the ICU during the 2nd Test match versus New Zealand in Kolkata. Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli has revealed that he simply was unaware of what was in Shami's mind and what he was going through. The fast bowler, however, informed his captain about it later on.
Earlier yesterday, Kohli's team had set a new record by making a clean sweep of the three-Test series against the Kiwis. The last match which concluded in Indore on Tuesday saw India outclassing the visitors in all aspects of the game.
During the Kolkata Test match, which was the 2nd match of the series, Aairah, Shami's infant daughter, was admitted to a local hospital after being diagnosed with a high fever. Her condition was unstable initially and she was kept in the ICU.
On the second day of the Test, the 14-month-old was rushed to the hospital. However, Shami continued to play the match without informing his captain.

It was only later that the 26-year-old fast bowler spoke with Kohli about his daughter's condition and what he was personally going through. Shami went on to produce a match-winning spell of fiery fast bowling as India comfortably won.
After the series victory in Indore, Kohli was asked about Shami to which the captain said that the Bengal bowler was a very likeable character in the dressing room and everyone loved him. He said, "He (Shami) is someone who is a character in the change room. On the field, you won't see him coming out in the open and expressing himself too much. But he is someone everyone loves in the team."
He continued, "He is someone everyone gets along with. Whatever might be happening with him, we won't know. I had no clue that his daughter was in the hospital. He told us after."

The Delhi batsman, who is regarded as one of the best batsmen in the world currently, hailed Shami's performance and branded him as a "top bowler". He was quick to add that Shami just needed to be motivated from time to time.
The skipper said, "He (Shami) is a guy who comes on to the field and gives everything. He just needs a bit of motivation every now and then, which every fast bowler does in conditions that we have. Skill-wise there is no doubt that he is a top bowler. He has a knack of picking up wickets."
"Shami is just like any normal guy of his age. It is just that he is not expressive on the field. He is a very likeable character in the change room and among the team members," the 27-year-old added.
Shami later lauded Virat Kohli's leadership when he took to social media to express his joy of winning the series.
The man who pushes us to keep trying harder everytime we step on the field. @imVkohli pic.twitter.com/4kXSMuELr9— Mohammed Shami (@MdShami11) 11 October 2016

Patiala ex-mayor got clean chit, now CBI looking into murder
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday began working on the Parampreet Kaur murder case, in which former mayor Jaspal Singh Pardhan was an accused as "father-in-law", a charge and the relation he denies.punjab Updated: Jul 08, 2014 08:46 IST
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday began working on the Parampreet Kaur murder case, in which former mayor Jaspal Singh Pardhan was an accused as "father-in-law", a charge and the relation he denies.
The CBI has taken over the case on the orders of the Punjab and Haryana high court that found the Punjab Police investigation flawed and admitted the petition of complainant Amarjit Singh Sodhi for moving the case to the bureau. A three-member CBI team visited the scene of crime and recorded its observations.
It also gathered the statements of some members of the victim's family. In four-hour spot inspection, the team studied in which position the body lay and how were the relations between Parampreet Kaur and her "in-laws". Apart from that, the CBI sought the case diary from Punjab Police.
Senior superintendent of police Hardial Singh Mann confirmed that the CBI had asked for the record and it would be made available to it after legal procedure. Parampreet Kaur was murdered on February 22, 2013. and her father had blamed the-then Patiala mayor, Jaspal Singh Pardhan, saying he was her father-in-law, which the latter denied.
Police had arrested the victim's husband, Harpreet Singh; and mother-in-law, Parampreet Kaur, but only ordered an inquiry into the role of Jaspal Pardhan, who denied involvement in murder. Later, he was asked to resign and a special investigation team (SIT) led by the inspector general of police (crime) gave him a clean chit, which invited a challan in the local district court. The complainant moved the high court, which saw flaws in the SIT report and ordered a CBI inquiry this May.
Parampreet Kaur murdered; booked in the case, the-then Patiala mayor Jaspal Singh Pardhan goes into hiding
FEBRUARY 25: Mayor resigns; chief minister forms special investigation team
MARCH 30: The SIT led by inspector general of police Shashi Prabha, in a hurried inquiry, gives a clean chit to Pardhan
APRIL 5: Victim's father, Amarjit Singh Sodhi, moves high court to demand CBI inquiry
JULY 12: Amarjit Sodhi booked in a rape case, family cries foul
JULY: High court starts monitoring inquiry, orders reinvestigation into role of Pardhan
NOVEMBER 29: The special investigation team gives another clean chit to Pardhan; but dissatisfied, the high court reserves order
MARCH 2014: Sodhi acquitted of rape charge, woman states in court that police had forced her to file complaint
MAY: The high court moves the case to the CBI

NEW YORK, N.Y.; February 17, 2012 --There's a new reason to eat lots of oranges, strawberries, and broccoli. It could help ward off a deadly form of stroke.
We're talking about strokes caused by bleeding in the brain.
As a nurse, I can tell you they're not as common as strokes caused by blood clots, but you are less likely to survive one.
Now a new study being presented in Philadelphia in April suggests eating foods packed with vitamin C cuts the chance of having this type of stroke.
Blood tests show patients who had a bleeding stroke also had very LOW levels of vitamin C compared to people who didn't have a stroke.
Doctors think it might help reduce blood pressure.
This gives us even more reason to eat healthy!

RCD (Residual Current Device)
RCD's (otherwise know as ELCB's) are protective switches that "sense" the amount of current in the phase and and neutral, if there is an imbalance then it can only be going to earth through an appliance or person and trip or switch off immediately.
These are required in bathrooms and outside power poweroutlets, most new houses will have a minimum of two RCD's protecting the entire house except for the hot water cylinders and some other fixed appliances.
If the RCD keeps tripping there could potentially be a life threatening fault on the circuits covered by the RCD, you can call an Electrician or follow these quick fault finding tips.
1. Disconnect all appliances that are not working while the RCD is off. Thes may not be obvious, remember fridges, washing machines, dishwashers and waste disposers can all be plugged into the circuit.
2. The RCD usually is grouped with three other MCBs on the switchboard, turn these MCBs off and reset the RCD. If it stays on OK then start to reset one of the MCBs at a time, if each stays on try the next until the RCDtrips again. This is the circuit that is affected withthe fault..
3. If there are no appliances plugged in then call us.
Contact us through our "Ask a Question" page if you'd like to know more.

I recently returned from keynoting a week-long youth event at which I was also responsible for helping youth plan the evening worship experiences. One teen wanted to focus a service around prayer and shared with us a unique approach to group prayer. We started by giving each participant an index card on which we had written the name of a prayer concern or issue such as homelessness, the oil spill, the elderly, pregnant teens, and so on. Each person was invited to go sit by themselves somewhere in the worship space and pray silently for several minutes for whatever was on their card. Next, we invited each person to join with someone sitting near them, share their pray cards, and pray for those concerns together. Next, each group of two joined with a group of four. We continued the process until the entire group was sitting together in a circle and we closed with a prayer together. It was a moving experience, both to pray with just one other person and also to share the different ways each of us articulated prayers for the various concerns.
Another interesting approach to this way of praying might be to pass out blank cards and let each person begin by writing their own prayer concern on the card.

Pierson Requirements Group Presents Two-Day Interactive Learning Use Cases and UML Seminar
Pierson Requirements Group Hosts Live, Interactive Learning Use Cases and UML Workshop for Business Systems Analysis Professionals November 21-23
Nov. 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Pierson Requirements Group has announced that they will be offering a Learning Use Cases and UML workshop on November 21-23. Participants will be engaged for two sessions as they gain an understanding for the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Process.
Pierson Requirements Group is known for their hands-on virtual training business systems analysis courses that are geared toward professionals in the business analyst field, such as team leads, system analysts, information architects, designers and project managers. All workshops are a blend of practical, hands-on exercises and instructor-led discussions. The courses are the perfect option for workplaces that want to provide continued education and support for business analysts without paying the high cost of travel and lodging to attend conferences.
The main objective of the Learning Use Cases and UML workshop is to teach participants modeling techniques that are used for requirements gathering, project planning and scoping. The first session will open up with an introduction on UML Concepts, what terms to be familiar with and the major diagrams that support UML. Business systems analysis students will also receive an overview of the project life cycle, including the project statement and requirements analysis. The first session will wrap up with case study exercises that use skills to build use case diagrams, swimlanes and workflow diagrams.
Session two has the same format, combining both hands-on exercises and discussions in a virtual format. Business systems analysis students will delve deeper and discover the analysis and design methodology steps and artifacts. The second session wraps up with case study exercises where students will write system use cases for the Design Phase of the project as well as build a State Diagram using UML. When the two-day workshop is completed, students will feel comfortable using UML and Use Cases during the development phase of a project. This information is pertinent in understanding how the project life cycle fits together.
All business systems analysis courses offered through Pierson Requirements Group provide CDUs, PDUs and certificates upon successful completion of the course. The cost of the course is $750.00 per participant, and there are group discounts provided for workplaces and organizations. The workshop holds a maximum of ten participants and can be taken on an individual or group level. More classes can be scheduled upon request. Students also take home printable materials and workbooks that allow them to review the points covered in class.

Independence: A Way of Life?
I strongly believe in independence. There are many different definitions for independence. I'm not talking about the kind that states you are not bound to a certain political party, but the kind of independence that says you do not require or rely on something else. I think my independence was one of the greatest things I have ever been given in my life or should I say, it's the greatest thing I have taken out of life. The day your father tells you he has been having an affair with another woman is a day that changes your life forever. All you can do now is sit and watch as your family is torn apart piece by piece for the next few months as everyone tries to figure out what the next step is. Twenty years of marriage is supposed to be a blissful time, but can all come crumbling down when you find out the infidelities your partner has been committing behind your back. How could anyone possibly want to stay with someone who has lost every ounce of trust you once had in them? Well, just ask my mom, the day she decided to stay with my father was the day I embarked on my own journey through life, an emotionally independent journey.
That was the day that changed my life and my personality forever. Nothing seemed the way it was supposed to, my world was turned upside down and I couldn't figure out who I could trust and who would just hurt me in the end. One thing I have learned is that ones' heart is a very fragile thing and should be treated as such. There is never anyway of knowing who to let in and who to block out but when you don't trust very many people, it's hard to let others in. Independence can also include knowing who you are and what makes you happy. Once you know that about yourself, you need to find the people who bring out the best in you and avoid the people that bring out the worst.
Even though I am so young, I feel that I have been through a lot compared to other kids my age. I understand how hard it can be to see your parents unhappy and fighting all the time but sometimes, as in my situation, I would rather my parents not be together than be together and unhappy. Although I still maintain a relationship with my parents, there isn't a day when I don't feel as if I should be thriving for something better, like a deeper sense of independence.

My thoughts have now turned to next year, I have read many different peoples Ideas on when to plant Shallots and decided to plant mine in pots of John Innes no 2 in the Tunnel yesterday, there are 61 in total as previously mentioned from 4 different sources.The tunnel has some background heat to guard against frost. The 6 plants at the back right in the photo are Elephant Garlic pips that I have successfully managed to root. I also sowed 40 Vento Onions these are a week earlier than last year which will give them another week to ripen hopefully. when these are through I will not be giving them any artificial light as last year they reached the required size in plenty of time for the shows without any.
This blog is to help me as a new veg exhibitor to keep a diary of my exploits and share the results with other likeminded people

Shallots Large Onions
I have obtained Hative De Niort Shallots from several sources as I needed to build up my stock. The best ones were from Smithy veg the next best were from Dobies followed by Plants of Distinction and last of all from M Brereton who advertises in the Garden News these were the smallest but good sound bulbs it will be interesting to see if the size of the original bulb determines the size of the new bulbs. (pictured as mentioned left to right)
The large Onions are now in large square pots and are doing well they are still getting 12 hours of daylight the photo shows them in a double seed tray sized gravel tray this enables them to be watered from the bottom.

Ive seen the Light
After speaking to Dave Metcalf on the phone, as I forgot to ask how much light the Leeks needed. I was informed that they only require 12 hours .So as they are in the same place as the Onions I asked him if it was OK to cut down on the light the Onions are receiving he said it was, so everything is now receiving 12 hours of artificial light and ticking along nicely

Traveled across the Pennines today to collect my Pendle Improved Leeks from Dave Metcalfe. What lovely specimens they are, and what a nice chap Dave is.I learned loads he was very forthcoming with info which I wrote down hastily I now need to make sense of my notes so I can feed out the info.I took a couple of photos below and also one of mine now tucked up in the growing chamber. a photo is also below.

I had a Brain storm today and decided that although the collection of Pendle improved Leeks was imminent I would sow some leek seeds as a banker. I sowed some Robinson's Giant Leeks in Rootainers they are now awaiting germination. It will be good to see which does best at the shows. I was quite successfull with the Robinsons last year considering I was learning as I went along. I am also a month earlier than last year with the sowing. I also sowed some seeds that I saved from my Runner beans and Poppy the pumpkin to check germination, these have now popped through making my first attempt at saving seeds a success.

My Final 15
I have now selected my final 15 Onions for size, and potted them on in a mix of John Innes no2 combined with a hand full of Vermiculite a sprinkling of Nutrimate and another sprinkling of powdered Vitax.The root system is very strong and they are growing well,there is a small amount of yellowing to the tips of the leaves I have researched this and it could be down to lack of fertilizer. I have also lifted the lights slightly to accommodate them they are still on 24 hours of light.I am hoping to get one over 10lb so we will see what happens.

Was Puppy The Right Choice?
Today I did some Puppy hopping. A brief look at Saluki Alpha and Slacko 5.3.3 (5.3.2 whilst developing) - good stuff is coming to a CPU near you . . . just wait till we get on that Raspberry Pi - only two weeks away to shipping . . .
Many years ago when I started to seriously look at Linux as an alternative to Windows, I came across one piece of advice.
Choose one distro and stick with it.
I choose Knoppix, with the intention of moving to a full Debian install . . .
. . . however there was too much I did not understand . . . and for learning all kinds of basic penguin geekery I used to lurk on the Puppy 'Simpleforums' site and listen . . .
Of course I could not use Puppy because it was not a serious distro. OK it was fast, but odd and well they ran as root and if you did that the hackers would run off with your grandmothers collection of kippers . . . (or so I been told by the big dogs)
The weird thing was Puppy was quicker than Debian (installed via Knoppix) even when booting from CD. In fact Puppy did everything faster. It was efficient. The developer (we only had Barry in them days) was very pleasant, with advice and coding from people such as Guesttoo . . . so I kinda . . . somehow . . . well . . . accidentally started using Puppy
So I think Debian . . . eh Dpup . . . yep I mean Puppy was the right choice
. . . and now back to the specialised distro hopping done Puppy style . . .
Did you make the right choice?

I sure did Lobster!
And as many here know, I've not only played around with many puplets, but have used nearly every distro listed on the right-hand side column there at "DistroWatch" as well. After all... I have so much free time sitting here in this little "4-wheeled roadster" of mine.
Yet then I realised - I had my "epiphany" ( perhaps while using "Epiphany", who knows? LOL! ), "Now why on earth am I distro-hopping from Mint, to Vector, to ZenWalk, to Parsix, to Debian, to... to... to... When I have Puppy, it does it ALL, runs on
I've ever owned, my entire family can so easily understand AND use it - far better and quicker than they've ever done 'that other system', I can so easily help out behind the scenes from this chair..."
Need I say more? I'm addicted now. Just look at my signature. My only regret? That I haven't been able to use the computer as much as I would've liked in 2011 which translates into nearly a year with very little Puppy time! O woe is me!
Yup! I'm addicted!
But like my Mrs. says, "There sure are far more worse things that you could be addicted to. And at least I know
where you are: All I need do is look over my shoulder and there you are - at your computer working away on something Puppy-related - if not in your bed."
Puppy even makes bad men like me reform and behave! LOL!

Yes and No! the totally wrong choice seen from some aspects.
Right choice for me. I can not use other linux distros.
They have permissions and such and I fail to get such.
Too logically intricate for my brain.
Puppy is way above my capacity to grasp too but
I can at least use it daily.
Knoppix is the only other linux that I barely can use.
But their forum would never accept me failure to read
their FAQ or manual.
I thought that Porteus a former Slax remix community build
could be the back up in case something did happen to puppy
but I failed to boot their latest version so they are too
difficult too.
Now why is puppy the wrong distro choice?
I have a woman friend not a lover but friend never the less
and she has Linux too but I fail to help her because it is a
multi-user distro so I have no forum to go to to help her.
Sure I could help her get active on Linux Questions or
maybe on Ubuntu and she can ask herself there.
Maybe they get happy helping a woman out.
But if she ask me I would not understand their answer
to her.
and another thing ...
Because when one meet another linux user here in Sweden
then most of them have never heard of it or if them have
they have low opinion on it unless they are odd persons
like same category that do jailbreak on Android phones.
Such people seems to be open to new kinds of
experiences but they are not active here as far as I know.
idg.se has a "board" for computer users and now and then
somebody ask there and flashback.org also has a department for other operating systems and there are
puppy users there too but they are never here.
I would not become member there I trust it is not
politically correct to be a member there.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Post subject: Was Puppy the right choice?
Subject description: Well, Alrighty then.
I approach Linux like a mechanic chooses a tool from a tool box.
Some tools make a certain job easier to do than others.
Of course one can use a sledge hammer to disassemble most anything. But. Try reassembling something with a sledge hammer instead of a sonic screwdriver (for you brits
Puppy has been my sonic screw driver for a number of years. Even my wife likes Puppy Linux and she is a die hard Windows 7 user. So I made her a pendrive for emergencies. It fixed her Windows 7 new Compaq Laptop Christmas present I bought her when she dropped the laptop and Windows 7 would not completely boot any more.
I came to find out the problem was a online screen saver she downloaded and I fixed it by deleting the screensaver from programs folder while in Puppy. She loves that pendrive now and likes doggies any ways because of her job (Animal control officer). She thinks the woof woof is the cutest thing..
Was Puppy the right choice?
You betcha!

Actress Rachel Lumberg, who plays the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet at the Crucible, is becoming a familiar face on stage in Sheffield.
Rachel played ditzy Sian, the aunt of teenage main character Nicky in the musical This Is My Family, which was created by Sheffield Theatres.
The first version in 2013 at the Crucible Studio featured Sian Phillips as Nick's grandma and a revival of the show last autumn at the Lyceum Theatre reopened the venue after it was refurbished.
Rachel also co-starred in Sheffield Theatres' hit version of The Full Monty that went on a successful national tour.
She is thrilled to be playing a role that goes back to the start of her career. She said: "I did it to audition for drama school and now I'm going back into doing that speech.
"I was 17 when I did that. Now I'm 19! It makes such a difference.
"Coming back to a part all those years later, you can add the experience of your own life and take that forward."
She added: "I'm not sure if it's just that I'm old enough to play her now, but I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that I'm one of the oldest in the cast. They're all really young and really sexy.
"I have seen quite a few people play the Nurse but I've purposely made a point of not referring to anything I've seen."
Rachel promises that her Nurse will be feisty. "I think she is a woman in her own right. She is incredibly strong and says what she thinks and thinks what she says.
"Her relationship with Juliet is very modern. She play with her and doesn't give her information directly."
The play has been set in the Balkans in modern times. Rachel said: "It's a small community where everybody knows every bugger's business. She is out and about with her shopping trolley every day.
"She's very youthful and knows what is in with the kids but has a cool and old, wise head on her.
"At the end she stands up to Capulet and says, 'it's your fault'."
Rachel said that she wants to draw the audience in so that they are rooting for Romeo and Juliet.
"Every so often you really hope that it works out, even though you are told at the start that it's not a good ending. You think 'oh my god I so want it to just work out' but you know it doesn't."
She added: "It is important that this text is alive for everybody to see and enjoy and understand. Every 14-year-old girl has been in love and often it's unrequited.
"They always think, 'you don't know how I feel' and as an adult you think, 'darling I do but I understand that you have to go through this yourself'.
Romeo and Juliet is at the Crucible until October 17.
Box office: at the Crucible, call 0114 249 6000 or online at www.sheffieldtheatres.co.uk

I like silly things
I'll start out with some silly things. Everyone likes silly things, right?
I like my feet.
I like beer.
I like vibrating lobsters (hi Julie!!)
And other silly things....
Report non-humans??!
I like my feet. I also like running, like I said. I like reading about and talking about things like socks and hills and Gu and splits and all that other crazy stuff runners spend so much time talking about. And for a long time, I couldn't run (more on this yaaawwwnn subject later), so I couldn't talk about all the STUFF. But now I'm running again...
With some very cute help!

Ok Guys. this is a sticky to prevent many time wasting and mass duplicating posts because people hate using the search old post buttons.
In the following topics coming in the next few days, i'll try and answer the most common questions and problems occuring here at the moment,
So before posting a topic, please check the stickys to see if the answer to your question or problem is there.
The last thing you guys want is me or raptor in your faces.
This is generally aimed as i said of the guys here that spend thier valuable time here, answering the same question every other day.
As well there will be a member topic, which you can offer suggestions on what you would like to see on this Forum. (all requested codes are put in 1 thread etc) any grievences etc.
Some of the stickys that are going to be made are..
1. Which Radio's Can Be Decoded Via Serial Number.
this will be a hopefully accurate in depth list of what radio's can & cannot be decoded this way. (sooooooo many people posting numbers for uncalculateable radio's). If the radio is in the list of can be decoded, post your request. if it is in the list saying "Cannot be decoded via serial" then don't post the serial number, just ask how can i get it decoded.
2. Where Do I Find My Serial Number If My radio Is Listed Above.
again so many posts especially philips where people just post everything except the correct serial number.
3. How do I enter My Code Number
this will be a rough guide as many radio's are different. i'll talk yot through the process of trying 1 combination first, if that doesn't work then other methods.
any other ideas you guys have for topics, please post here.
4. Tools needed to start Decoding My Own Radio
here newbies can learn what equipment you need for decoding radio's
this is the topic that is aimed at the people that think that to get a code for a radio all you need is a number or a very cold freezer."How wrong you are"
Also with the Admins go-ahead, we could also add a few other stickys aimed at other things of the decoding biz.
maybe a Ford, Blaupunkt, Philips sticky or thread to post your serial here and get the code.
Maybe a buy & sell sticky.
sell your old decoding tools or radio's and maybe soft authors could notify you guys of new stuff available to buy or give for free.
again. feedback is welcome on this too.
so to finish this, If you need a code or have a problem, please read the sticky related to your code or radio problem.
If you cannot see an answer to your problem or question, post away, only once please,
as we know there are many non english people here, so we will be patient if they do post topics that the answers and in the sticky's , as they may not be able to read good english, but will let them know what to do next time.
If you have just come here to get 100's of free codes to make money on, the best idea i can give you, is go elsewhere. support the authors and buy their soft.
without them radio's would just be useless.
I'm against free / cracked software , but what can we do, it's all part of life. the software is only as good as the protection.nothing can be done about this.
So keep an eye out for these sticky's guys. they ere for your benefit.

2008 Harley-Davidson FXCW Rocker
Harley-Davidson takes its Softail design in a radical direction with the introduction of the 2008 FXCW Rocker and FXCWC Rocker C, new models designed to appeal to two totally different riders.
2008 Harley-Davidson FXCW Rocker
Engine:Air-cooled, Twim Cam 96B
Torque @ RPM:87.90 lbs/ft@ 2750 RPM
Displacement:1584 L
The Rocker is developed around an all-new Rockertail rear section that faithfully reproduces the profile of a slammed, hardtail frame but delivers the smooth, comfortable ride of a modern suspension. A raked-out front end, new cast-aluminum oil tank, new saddle designs, original paint treatments and other details make the Rocker and Rocker C the most significant evolution of the Softail line since its inception in 1984.
The Rocker and Rocker C are part of a seven-model Harley-Davidson Softail line for 2008. Each Softail model represents a distinct branch of the factory-custom tree; the nostalgia of the FLSTN Softail Deluxe and FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic, the long chopper profile of the FXSTB Night Train and FXSTC Softail Custom, and the massive presence of the iconic FLSTF Fat Boy. Each Softail model interprets a styling statement with premium components and an appreciation for the kind of detail and craftsmanship that catches and holds the eye.
The Softail name is derived from the design of its rear suspension, which features a swingarm section that faithfully replicates the lines of an original, hardtail frame but provides a smooth, comfortable ride. The hidden horizontal coil-over shock absorbers for the rear suspension are mounted below the powertrain and out of sight.
The counter-balanced Twin Cam 96B powertrain is rigid-mounted in the Softail frame to give the rider a more-direct connection to the motorcycle, and also to enable a low seat height that gives the rider a feeling of sitting "in" the motorcycle. Harley-Davidson ESPFI fuel injection is standard on all Softail models, as is the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. A horseshoe-shaped oil tank located below the seat and a fuel tank-mounted console and ignition are other distinctive features of each Softail model.
New on all Softail models for 2008
- Top-Mounted Battery: The terminal attachment points have been relocated to the top of the battery for easier service access.
- Hollow Axles: New 25 mm hollow axles are assembled with new bearings, spacers and sleeves inside the wheel help stiffen the rear swingarm for a more stable feel on the road.
- 105th Anniversary Edition: A limited-edition, serialized 105th Anniversary Edition FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic, FXSTC Softail Custom, FLSTF Fat Boy, and FLSTN Softail Deluxe will be available in 2008 (see separate release for details on the 105th Anniversary package).
Harley-Davidson Softail History
In 1984 is the debut of the Softail design and its trend-setting method of "hiding" the motorcycle's rear shock absorbers. The all-new Softail featured a 1340cc V2 Evolution engine (the result of seven years of development) which produced more power at every speed, ran cooler, cleaner and it was oil-tight.
1986 - In another bold styling and engineering move, Harley-Davidson released the Heritage Softail.
In 1988, the springer front end returned in the FXSTS Springer® Softail.
In 2000, the FXSTD Softail Deuce was introduced to the immediate delight of riders and the motorcycle media.
The 2000 model year Softail models were outfitted with the Twin Cam 88B engine, a counter-balanced version of the Twin Cam 88.
Fuel injection was unveiled as a feature new to the Softail line of motorcycles for the 2001 model year.
In 2005, The FLSTNI Softail Deluxe added a sleek look to the Softail line and a paint scheme reminiscent of 1939 Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Also, the FLSTSC/I Softail Springer Classic revived looks from the late 1940s.
2008 FXCW Rocker
The FXCW Rocker makes an anti-everything statement that appeals to a hard riding, go-your-own-way attitude. The Rocker stretches out on a 36.5-degree fork rake that extends the wheelbase to 69.2 inches. A 19-inch tapered five-spoke cast-aluminum front wheel is finished in durable Satin Stainless Metallic powdercoat. The same finish is applied to the fork lowers, triple clamps, headlamp, handlebar riser, tank console, swingarm, turn signal housings, hand controls, belt guard, oil tank and engine trim. The frame is custom color-matched to the bodywork.
A sculpted, two-piece five-inch curved riser supports independent, V-Bar handlebar with internal wiring. A new bullet-shaped headlamp rides over beefy 49 mm Showa forks. The bullet-style turn indicators feature bright LED lamps. The new Stop/Turn/Tail lights incorporate the stop and tail lamp functions with the rear turn indicators, eliminating the traditional tail lamp from the rear fender. A stretched, five-gallon fuel tank holds a low-profile console with a polished aluminum insert, integrated indicator lamps and an angled, speed-shop style speedometer housing. A machined 3-D Bar and Shield medallion is mounted in a deboss on each side of the fuel tank.
The Rocker is powered by the counter-balanced Twin Cam 96B with ESPFI fuel injection mated to the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, rigid-mounted in a frame that's color-matched to the bodywork. The powertrain is finished in Silver powdercoat with Satin Stainless Metallic powdercoat accents on the covers. Shorty dual mufflers with a new slash bend reinforce the bike's long, low profile. A low solo seat is mounted over a finned, cast-aluminum oil tank that recalls classic hot-rod bikes of the past. The Rocker is available in three solid colors: Vivid Black, Pacific Blue Pearl and Crimson Red Sunglo; and in Vivid Black Deluxe, which features pinstripe flames.
"Only Harley-Davidson could style and engineer a motorcycle as visually exciting as the new Rocker," said Bill Davidson, director of motorcycle product development. "To offer this level of customization in a reliable, production motorcycle is simply unprecedented. We've also got the Fat Bob taking the Dyna platform in a bold, new direction. And the beautiful copper-and-black 105th Anniversary models are icing on the Motor Company birthday cake for 2008."
For more than a century, Harley-Davidson motorcycles have stoked the passion of riders around the world with a distinctive combination of performance and visual appeal that simply can not be duplicated. The energy, dedication and pure enthusiasm of each individual at Harley-Davidson maintains that full-throttle intensity, season after season.
The Rockertail
It's the Rockertail rear end that makes a Softail a Rocker. The Rockertail utilizes an all-new rear section with elliptical tubes and no visible fender supports. As on other Softail motorcycles, the Rockertail rear shock absorbers are hidden away under the motorcycle. The rear fender is mounted just above a 240 mm x 18-inch rear tire, and the fender's broad surface is fully exposed behind a solo saddle. The Rockertail design creates the illusion of a bone-jarring, hardtail frame. But when under way, the fender and wheel move together as the rear suspension glides through 3.4 inches of travel for a ride that's comfortable mile after mile. Laden seat height of the FXCW Rocker is just 24.5 inches, one of the lowest seat heights available on the market today.
FXCW Rocker features:
- Rigid-mount, 1584cc Twin Cam 96B balanced engine
- 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission
- Silver powdercoated engine with Satin Stainless Metallic powdercoat covers
- Chrome Shorty Dual exhaust with new slash bend
- Finned cast-aluminum, horseshoe oil tank

Embrace the flats…
The world is always changing and so too are the fashion elite's attitude towards flats. Once upon a time, no editor worth her salt would dare sit front row at a showspace in trainers. That's certainly changed. Those Stan Smiths have their very own sartorial gravity on par with any mile-high shoe. Not only that, Victoria Beckham Queen of stilettos has even ditched them in for chic flat comfort!
Not only does a pair of natty mules or luxe leather sneakers dial down a mega-watt dress or relax a smart outfit, they ooze a level of personal confidence. You don't need to tower over your natural height or tiptoe over cobbles to look chic. Done right, flat shoes heighten an outfit's cool just as much as any heel.
An asymmetric shirt–and-jeans combo can look preppy unless you keep it cool with a pair of loafers. Note the brief style bag adding that little bit of edginess.
We will actually have similar boots in store soon, so we love this military look! The slit leg design allows the outfit to be less structured and draw an eye to those stylish flats.
We love sneakers at love the lot, in fact you'll often find a pair on the shelf ready to buy! Now a days they are so versatile! Pair them with a dress to become more casual or with a jumper and good quality leggings to create that perfect atheleisure look. The possibilities are endless!
Another effortless look with sneakers. Shallot playsuit and an oversized bag. Style heaven!
Flatform aficianados will fully appreciate the art of successfully wearing an espadrille in the city. Make like Candela Novembre and wear yours with an elevated dress to strut between events with different dress codes.

10 DO'S AND DON'TS: SPRING PETITE FASHION [petite clothing] [petite fashion tips]
PETITE DO'S: The "GETS"of the Season!
1. The Little White Dress "LWD"
Need we say more "LWD" and the "LBD" are a mainstay in your closet. These are year round looks and you can't go wrong with this "GET."
2. Asymetrical Dresses and Blouses
This cut is a petite woman's "best cut" especially styled to create a clean line of sight elongating your petite frame and accentuating your best assets!
3. Shoes sandals and platforms
Plenty of stylish cork, leather and platforms for your to choose. There are so many you can't just pick one, so we suggest a dozen will do!
4. Cool Spring fashion prints and patterns
Every petite certainly can wear prints especially when you apply the "Fist Rule" anything larger than your fist than it does not fit. Have fun with this Spring trend! As you can see Emma Roberts made all the right moves here.
5. The number one item to GET! Laser cut dresses
This is our favorite trend for Spring! Every petite woman should have several laser cut dresses in her wardrobe you simply can't go wrong with this dress! Red Carpet Fever at eDressMe.com Gowns inspired by your favorite Hollywood celebrities! From Natalie Portman, Brittany Snow, Vanessa Hudgens, to Reese Witherspoon essentially every celebrity you can think of!
PETITE DON'TS This is where the TRENDS go BAD!
1. Harem pants
It seems like every year they drag this awful pant out of the fashion shed and all we can say is that this trend never looks good on anybody!
2. Bootie and many gladiator styles
No better way to cut off your height and make you look shorter than to wear boot shoes and gladiators. They are over powering for a petite frame.
3. Ruffles, bows, large hats and chunky jewelry
Unless you are the Queen of England we suggest that for obvious reasons to take a complete pass on this trend!
4. No large obnoxious prints for petites.
Use the"Fist Rule" anything larger than your fist than it does not fit! Over large prints will make you look like a circus clown and you don't want that.
5. High waisted skirts, pants and shorts
Unless these items are scaled correctly this is another trend you should just take a pass. This is a great style for long waists and long legs.

This is so wonderful and helpful tips! I love to be able to shop here now!April 7, 2011
Great advice but somewhat confused. In one of your last posts you recommended high-waisted pants and skirts……?April 8, 2011
I'm 4'11, 103 pounds and have a pair of black high waisted pants that are flared at the bottom. I always get complements when I wear them but the trick is to wear a top/shirt that is the same color or has the least contrast with the pants so as to project a more taller frame as the two different colors would slice your frame into two and make you look shorter.
Also dress them up w/a heel. The shoes don't have to be high, I wear mine sometime w/2″ heels and sometimes w/4″ heels and they look great either way. Goodluck!April 23, 2011
I'm 5ft and 105lbs and i was wondering about what style trench coat and blazer would look best on me? I wanted to wear the blazer with a summer dress so I was going for white. I was also wondering about an everyday blazer as well.June 15, 2011

Strong Public Policies are Essential in a Weak Economy
In an economy that is not working, children and families in Washington state need strong social and economic policies more than ever.
Strong public programs are a cornerstone of a strong economy, and are a major reason why the recent downturn did not become another Great Depression. In 2011 alone, policies like the State Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and Unemployment Insurance (UI) kept 40 million people in the U.S. out of poverty.
Washington state's most recent employment report shows that there still aren't enough jobs being created, and that the slight drop in the most recent unemployment rate is largely due to people who have given up looking for work. The jobs data look grim – 18 of the top 20 occupations with the most vacancies in Washington state do not pay enough for a family of three to even meet basic needs (see figure).
The lack of jobs – especially those that pay enough to get by – is one of the main reasons for Washington state's declining middle class and increase in poverty. One in three kids in our state lives in a low income family, which does not bode well for their future or our collective well-being as a state (see figure).
As the Legislature debates a new budget this session, policymakers should keep in mind that investments in programs that help families find or keep a job and keep children out of poverty are essential to improving the overall economy.
Stay tuned to schmudget this week for a series on investments that will rebuild the middle class and put Washington state on a stronger path to prosperity.

nursing diagnosis help
I was wondering if anyone would like to help. Tomorrow i have a patient, 82 y/o woman, with a medical diagnosis of sinus bradycardia and acute gastroenteritis. She was admitted into the ER 3 days ago, with a chief complaint of nausea and vomiting, she came from a nursing home.
I'm having trouble with finding 3 nursing diagnoses, along with 3 interventions for each. They're hematoculting stool, and is that just a stool sample? I can't seem to find what this is. She's on telemetry too. With sinus bradycardia...what in the world would the diagnoses be? I honestly can't think of one. W/gastroenteritis, I'm guessing fluid loss and nutrition. Please help!

future RNApr 22, '04Occupation: Nurse Educator Specialty: Nursing Education and Critical Care. ; From: US ; Joined: Mar '03; Posts: 2,112; Likes: 149Problem # 1: Alteration in nutrition, less than body requirements related to decreased appetite as evidenced by nausea and vomiting.
Goal: Patient will maintain current body weight +/- 3 lbs over the course of her hosptial stay.
1. Weigh on admission and then weigh daily.
2. RD Consult for Diet and Nutrition Counseling
3. Monitor Food and Fluid Intake
4. Keep MD Informed of any weight loss
Problem # 2: Increased risk for alteration in tissue perfusion related to decreased cardiac output as evidenced by bradycardia.
Goal: Patient's heart rate will remain in normal range.
1. Telemetry monitoring
2. Vitals signs in accordance with facility policy.
3. Monitor labs as ordered for potassium and mag. levels
4. Keep MD involved and informed with changes to rate and rhythm
Problem # 3: Bleeding as evidenced by positive hemooccult test
Goal: Patient will be free from bleeding
1. Test all stools for occult blood
2. Monitor lab values (i.e. H&H and RBC)
3. Encourage patient's nutritional intake.
4. Keep MD Informed of changes to labs or for s/s of increased bleeding
When you do the work-up on your patient, look at the patient's overall global view. She is going to lose weight is she does not eat. That places her at increased risk for weight loss. In addition, her bradycardia is going to impact upon her ability to perform self care. She may fatigue with ease related to SOB from her decreased cardiac output. This is another approach rather than using the problem that I stated. Use your Nursing Diagnosis book to help you find the right ones to use. Coming to this board is a good idea as many of the nurses here have been through this before too. Good luck and I hope these help.Last edit by RNPATL on Apr 22, '04Apr 22, '04Occupation: icu nurse Joined: Jul '02; Posts: 10,260; Likes: 233RNPATL gave an excellent response I can only add this in relation to the bradycardia:-
If her rate is 50 - 60 and she is Beta blocked that might be ideal rate for her. One of the things you must bear in mind is that beta blockers can and do mask the clinical symptom of tachycardia which is one of your primary indicators for fluid volume deficit.
If the sinus bradycardia is her background rhythm unrelated to medication then you have to ask why - especially in the setting of Gastro.
The tissue perfusion you are always most concerned about is brain tissue - is the cardiac output adequate to maintain good perfusion to the brain - any alteration (not decrease but alteration) in consciousness in the setting of significant bradycardia i.e. increasing confusion with a rate > 59 and you have to notify someone straight away.Apr 23, '04Joined: May '01; Posts: 231; Likes: 5I know it's probably too late to help, but I have a "filler" diagnosis I use from time to time. Anxiety r/t change in health status or Anxiety r/t hospitalization. It's good for when you honestly can't think of one more diagnosis but have to have one listed. Plus, psychosocial diagnoses seem to be underused (at least in the clinical groups I've been in), so the instructor always likes it.Oct 27, '08Joined: May '08; Posts: 6Hi,

have questions hope for reply. pt show sign of urine infection. high in urea creatinine which relate to urea. diagnosis -have to relate to fluid status?
why consider at high risk of fall?
if you are being told that you need to relate the patient's diagnosis to fluid status, then you must look for evidence of abnormal fluid balance. is the patient losing fluid? there would be signs and symptoms of that--dehydration. or signs and symptoms of electrolyte imbalances. are the bun and creatinine elevated? if so, that is sometimes indicating that there might be a kidney problem. is the doctor testing for that? usually if a patient is in renal failure with elevated bun and creatinine levels they are retaining fluid. so, you must consider the patient's medical diagnosis along with the signs and symptoms of their fluid status to diagnose their nursing problem correctly.
i don't know why you would consider risk for falls either. does the patient have a history of falling? are they unsteady when standing or have a problem with dizziness? this page list all kinds of rsk factor for falling: risk for fallsOct 28, '08Joined: Jan '07; Posts: 15; Likes: 1Hi,
Risk for falls would be appropriate because one of the first signs in eldery with UTI is dizziness and change in mental statusOct 30, '08Joined: May '08; Posts: 6hi,
there is a symptom of smell urine and dark colour.positive lectocyte and nitrate. dehydration, imbalance electrolyte with high creatine and urea, vomiting as well. also complain lower abdomen pain.
nursing diagnosis deficit in fluid volume related to electrolyte imbalance as evidence by vomiting, smell and dark urine colour and the presence of leucocytes and nitrates in urine. am i right so as to related to fluid status?
what could possible cause the na and k shift from normal to high? and urea and creatinie keep increasing from admission to the second day in hospital.
Oct 30, '08Specialty: med/surg, telemetry, IV therapy, mgmt ; Joined: May '05; Posts: 15,027; Likes: 8,980these are the patient's symptoms:
- urine dark in color (concentrated)
- vomiting
- complaint of lower abdominal pain
- elevated urea
- elevated creatinine
- positive leukocyte
- positive for nitrates
- smelly urine
Nov 4, '08Specialty: med/surg, telemetry, IV therapy, mgmt ; Joined: May '05; Posts: 15,027; Likes: 8,980I believe it is "intravenous catheter". It is referring to the IV.
- deficient fluid volume r/t active fluid loss aeb dark concentrated urine and vomiting
- impaired urinary elimination r/t urinary tract infection aeb complaint of lower abdominal pain (with urination)
- risk for injury r/t elevated serum toxins [the injury would be to the kidney; this patient's bun and, specifically, the creatinine are elevated and put the patient at risk for a kidney problem. you say the electrolytes have been increasing since admission which probably means there is more than a uti going on. if the kidneys are failing, the electrolytes will continue to elevate since the kidney cannot filter and release them through the urine. vomiting is also an indication that toxins are probably building up in this person's body. people with kidney failure often have very concentrated urine, utis and get very nauseated.]
