Vintage Pretties
I just recently started following this board on pinterest not too long ago and am so glad I did! The board "vintage pretties" is magnificent.
Nasty Gal is a Bloggin' Fool!
I saw on pinterest that this was Valentino. Not sure if that's accurate, but it sure is lovely.

My (New-Orleans Themed) Dream Wedding Ideas
Yes, you read that incredibly lengthy title correctly. As of the last few years of my life, I have always wanted a warm and whimsical Louisiana flavored wedding. Sometimes, when i am poking around on pinterest, I get caught up on other wedding ideas, but as soon as I go into a Pappadeaux, or take a trip to Disneyland, I regain my overwhelming instinct in what I knew was right all along. Bring out the shrimp gumbo and the jazz, and let me show you what I am thinking:
String Lights, Banana Pudding, Wedding Dress, Sparklers, Jumbalaya, Chalk Board Decor, and The Greatest Ring I Have Ever Seen.
Alright, now I'll be upfront with you all. While I have been as far south as Houston, TX, I have (sadly) never been to New Orleans. I am hoping to fix that soon though. So, with that said, I am very aware that my magical idea of the 1940's jazzland is probably just that; a magical far-fetched dream of the actual truth. All I have to go off of is the Disney rendition of New Orleans (*aaheem* Princess and the Frog and Disneyland's New Orlean's Square). I would like to say this though… I'm fine with that, and I would LOVE noting more than to theme my future wedding off of that 🙂

Max is a superhero…or maybe a superhero in training…or maybe he just has the spirit of a superhero.
And lately he has been trying out several options for his superhero identity.
This "Strange" Dogtor is leading all Defenders of baked delicacies. He'll take a slice out of crime, and a slice out of that pizza, please!
He's sniffing out mischief day and night.
Spider Dog, Spider Dog, doing whatever a spider dog does…
These Powerpuff Pooches are full of sugar, spice, and everything nice – probably because they just ate whatever was in the kitchen.
No superhero is safe without a secret identity. Normal mutt by day, hero by night. And Max ties it all together in his own classy way.
In addition to the look, Max has also been practicing some crucial superhero skills.
Sometimes the going gets ruff, and all you can do is lay low for a bit. Max is becoming a master of disguise and hiding. Watch him paws until just the right moment to strike.
Max is even embarking on some pretty furocious weapons training.
In order to get out of some hairy situations, Max has been working on squeezing into small spaces.
He's always on alert as protector of his muttropolis.
And will be there in a flash if danger arises – to tail the bad guys and retrieve a sense of safety for all.
Max may not have many super powers, but he's still practicing for that day when he can fly all over town and become the most pup-ular hero of all!
Thank you Max, for keeping us entertained and good luck becoming a superhero. But thank you even more for truly being a wonder dog. Sometimes I wonder what is going on in your head, but ultimately you are a wonderful friend and inspire me to be better.

Lawrence Scott
A lush and evocative tale of prejudice, painting and desire in post-emancipation Trinidad.
Trinidad, 1848. Michel Jean Cazabon returns home from France to his beloved mother's deathbed.
Despite the Emancipation Act, his childhood home is in the grip of colonial power, its people riven by the legacy of slavery. Michel Jean finds himself caught between the powerful and the dispossessed. As an artist, he enjoys the governor's patronage, painting for him the island's vistas and its women; as a Trinidadian he shares easy wisdom and nips of rum with the local boat-builders. But domestic tensions and haunting reminders of the past abound. His fiery half-sister Josie - the daughter of a slave - still provokes in him a youthful passion; his flirtatious muse Augusta tempts him as he paints her 'for posterity'. Meanwhile, letters from his white, French wife and children remind him of their imminent arrival on the island.
Written in a magnificent prose style that matches the art it describes
Like Cazabon, we fall in love numerous times with this complicated world, full of prejudice and social injustice. Scott, born on a sugar estate, knows this society intimately and paints this world with skill and grace.
A beautiful subtle and sensitive novel
In this intimate, compassionate portrait of 19th century Trinidad, Lawrence Scott presents a gripping tale of a world burdened by its secrets and exposed by its art.
Accomplished ... Scott's book is more than just a fanciful biography, with the author exploring a wide range of issues, from race to sexual equality. Throughout it all the writing is magnificent.

text: Hi Everyone, Just picked up my Model s (85KW) this morning. First off, it's incredible. My fear over the past few months of waiting has been winter driving. I have a ridiculous lane way and use 4 wheel-drive for my other vehicle. Wouldn't you know it, delivery day here in Ontario has come during a Freezing Rain warning, and we've seen snow, rain, and freezing rain for most of the day. The 160 KM drive back from Toronto was great - no issues in the weather. I plowed the lane way before I left, but arrived to a snow-covered mess. Figured I give it a shot because I need to know sooner or later how well it drives up and down the lane! Surprisingly, I made it up without a hitch. The traction control light blinked the whole way, but it made it up without issue. Twice (I left and came back again). I have the Tesla Winter Tire package on it. To put it in perspective, here's a video of my lane way from last year. Conditions today were worse. My Crazy Laneway - YouTube Hope that helps put any fears to rest on winter traction! I'll update if/when I have my first trouble getting up the lane.

Touching!!! Read What People Had To Say About Late OAP Chaz B
The sudden passing of radio personality Chaz B is still weighing heavily on the hearts of his family, friends and fans. One thing is clear, Chaz lived an impactful life! Through his radio show "Sharing Life Issues with Chaz B", he helped listeners face and resolve numerous difficult issues.
In 2011, Chaz B went through a struggle in his own life when he began exhibiting symptoms of kidney disease. After he returned to work, Chaz shared his inspiring testimony. Though he may have passed away, his testimony is still valid. We are thankful that he had more years to share with his family and fans.
Rest in Peace Chaz B.
If you recognize similar symptoms, please report to your doctor immediately.
Read below via the Sharing Life Issues with Chaz B blog
My kidney journey started about March 2011. I woke up both legs were swollen I could hardly walk. I remember I missed, at that time, maybe a couple of weeks at work. After some medical medications it looked like all was well.
We travelled up to Cotonou, Benin Republic with the family and visited a restaurant. After like two days, we found a good Nigerian restaurant. And we were so happy because the food was not agreeing with us (no disrespect to anybody from Benin Republic). So we finally found this Nigerian restaurant and it was like wow!
So we sat down, just as the food arrived, I just felt myself, as the waiter was putting the food on the table, before my wife, daughter and brother, I just felt myself suddenly slumping in the chair and in a few seconds, just saw myself…I thought Monalisa (my daughter) was lifting off the ground, It was so funny. But it wasn't really…I saw myself just going upwards, it looked like a very dark tunnel and I was travelling relatively fast, I turned around quickly and I saw myself lying, slumped on the chair, so the family shouted for help.
Well, I could see people gathering around my body but I was going further and further away from it. I continued upwards until I saw a bright light at the end of that tunnel. It was hard to see, but as I came out that bright light was so bright I tell you it was so beautiful there, that's what I can tell you; flowers were extraordinary, different colours, never seen them before. I was trying to adjust because the brightness of the light was almost like being in front of the sun and I could see some kind of silhouette, but I couldn't make it out.
So I just kept my head down, a Voice said, "Son why are you here?" I was still confused because I was still thinking, "No no what is going on?" I said nothing, I was confused totally and then He said "It is not time yet, go back, we still have a long mission to accomplish, go back my son". I remember my spirit wanted to argue because I felt peace! Almost for the first time in my life, I didn't really want to go back anywhere, but he insisted it's not yet time and then all of a sudden I started to drift like falling backwards until I saw the people just praying around my body. Shouting "Jesus" "Jesus".
And I remember re-entering into my body, like wearing a suit, it just felt really really strange, I cannot even describe that in words. Well that was actually my second experience with death, because at 10 ½ yrs in London I drowned and I was revived like seven minutes later.
I came back and I resumed work and all of a sudden, this thing, fainting spells; I just started fainting. In a meeting we had I fainted; My CEO was scared. I started throwing up every meal for some time. Almost for two months I would just throw up everything I eat. I couldn't keep anything in the stomach and then I was admitted at Rodeen Hospital for a week and then I was diagnosed with AKD (Acute Kidney Disease).
This was how my journey started with kidney failure and that's how I started dialysis Monday, Wednesday and Friday; four hours on the machine. (You lose like 2-3kg every single time you have dialysis)…And then I was still coming to work for 8months. I just would come to work. God would give me the strength. The devil wanted me to stop but I refused to stop.
Then in December (2011) was when I announced to you I'll be on a long vacation. So I travelled to India with my family and a donor (kidney).
About a month and a week here's this donor that was certified by a certain Doctor in Magodo…This guy was actually cleared as good to go, I paid N385,000 for the process. But do you know when I took this guy with me to India, He was totally unqualified and he had so many medical issues of his own, the Indian Doctors advised me to send him back to Nigeria. And I had to…Anyway we sent the donor back to Nigeria. Suddenly, I had this thought "should I return to Nigeria and start this whole journey again?" and I said No. God did not bring me all this way only to start the journey again.
So few days later the Doctor came into the room and asked what blood group my wife was and she said "O positive" and the doctor just had a big smile on his face and left the room. In the evening that day, he invited us to his office and asked her if she will be willing to donate her kidney. I was shocked because I never thought of it; that's why I took a donor and paid over a million naira to him. I just was shocked. But do you know without even thinking about it, she said "That's what I've been telling him". And she had for six months and I was like "no way" "no way". And do you know that day without reservation, she did it; she was willing, she said yes and now, you know, we did tests and the DNA testing among others, showed that we were found to be almost 96% compatible. 96%! Just to show you how great God is. How great is Jehovah! She became my donor and today I have a second chance at life "because she lives in me!"
After 5 ½ months in India, we returned home rejoicing over the new kidney and we felt victorious. Guess what? 2 ½ to 3weeks later another condition arose from the whole issue; it's called a post-transplant situation. It's tagged or named Lymphocele; like a retention of fluid in the body, causing the swelling of the abdomen and in my own case the whole right leg got swollen again.
After more money spent at St Nicholas Hospital, the doctors advised me, since I had just come back from India a couple of months, "why don't you just go back there? It's easier. We can do it here at St. Nicholas, but you just came back. Go back there". So I started another plan, returned to India, thinking the procedure would be simple, fast and corrective. They looked at the scan, my Indian doctor felt "okay, it seems to be this way" but he was going on vacation, so I had to wait a couple of weeks till he got back and he asked me to come. Now once he x-rayed and scanned again, a team of surgeons carefully looked at my case and decided to open me up, that's right. So from just beneath my chest here, cut all the way down past my navel, opened me up and I had to have not one, but now two major surgeries again to correct the lymphocele. Well after surgery bowel movement was near impossible, my intestines were twisted and it wasn't pretty. They decided that I could have no food and only little sips of water with medication was ordered for me and lasted 30days! Like a joke…30days, I lay on my back the whole time, according to the doctors' order and it was not easy because I love food, Like Dan Foster, I love food. Finally with much prayers, from my wife, who had now arrived, and of cause all of you who were consistent in your love, prayers and support…The bowels straightened out and started moving and healing took place finally. And God again, If He hadn't come through, I mean I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, but I shall fear no evil…"

The UFC's heavyweight division is easily the best collection of "big boy" talent in the world. However, one key player has been missing for awhile in the form of Josh Barnett who wasn't even brought over when the bulk of Strikeforce's roster was folded into the UFC earlier this year.
That wrong was righted this week when the organization inked the seasoned veteran to a multi-fight contract with expectations of action in the near future. MMAJunkie broke the news late last night with confirmation of the deal coming from Zuffa officials.
Barnett is 32-6 in his career with notable past wins over Mark Hunt, Jeff Monson, Sergei Kharitonov, and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, not to mention success in nine of his last ten tilts. The majority of the 35-year old's victories have featured some form of his finish as well with seven TKOs and twenty submissions to his credit.
Additionally, "The Warmaster" is also a former UFC champion, though he was stripped of the belt after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs a decade ago.

The LDM's monolithic base employs an efficient 4 pillar design that puts the bulk of its mass at the bottom and outer edges; where impact forces are highest.
Through computational Finite Element Analysis, the LDM's critical edges were identified and contoured to eliminate detrimental stress risers.
The LDM's precision clamp features a pair of rounded shear lugs that provide a high level of lateral impact resistance between the clamp and base.
All of the LDM's threads are cold formed. This forces the material grain to flow around the threads which increases their yield strength, hardness, and wear resistance.
The Low Drag Mount has an intuitive attachment system that will let you take it off in under 3 seconds. Unlike conventional thumbscrews that rely on friction, the Low Drag Mount's patent pending self-adjusting attachment mechanism has an internal ball detent that makes it completely recoil proof.
Streamlined profile free of protruding levers and knobs. Won't rap your knuckles, or get caught on clothing, gear, and surroundings.

FDA's Software Monsters: Cybersecurity, Interoperability, Mobile Apps and H...
Link to Website
Software's level of complexity and use is expanding at exponential levels. Likewise, the potential risks to health follow suit. Ransomeware attacks hold your software hostage until you pay hundreds or thousands of dollars. Life supporting and life sustaining healthcare grinds to a halt. Extracting personal healthcare information is another plague that has a huge financial incentive for hackers. Your software is running on thin ice.
The FDA looks at software in one of three ways: Standalone, such as for a mobile app; device-based software used to control a device's performance, or simply electronic records. FDA's risk classification will gradually clarify how it intends to manage the health risks with premarket and postmarket controls. What the FDA did not see was the cancer of cybersecurity attacks, the failure of interoperability, and the explosion in the use of wireless communication and mobile apps.
Inadequate cybersecurity programs and the lack of interoperability for healthcare users pose the greatest threat to any healthcare system. Software exploitations are using more sophisticated approaches and the hackers' programs are readily available on the "dark web."
The increasing sophistication required to protect software programs and have them work with other programs requires progressive software design and software validation considerations. In many instances, validation is limited to the immediate use of the software rather than its environment of use, its performance with other software programs and software hacking. FDA can ask you what you have considered before you take a product to market. Whether your software can survive unscathed is another question. When software causes a problem, fixing the malfunction or "bug" may be more difficult as software becomes more sophisticated, customized by users and placed in a network system. In these kinds of circumstances, it is difficult to decide who is responsible for managing and fixing the software problems, preventing them from recurring. This becomes a major regulatory headache for FDA and generates business-to-business conflicts. When firms are designing and marketing software, they should be mindful of the unknowns that lurk in the future of software regulated as a device by the FDA.
Why you should attend:
For decades, firms have experienced serious problems with software and have been at a loss to make a well-informed follow up. Software problems represent one of the most common root causes for recalls that are associated with deaths and serious injuries beyond what should be necessary to quantify. FDA sees firms revise software only to create more problems rather than solve them. The infusion pump industry is a classic example that drove FDA to implement a new rigorous paradigm for premarket review and performance criteria evaluation.
The growth of the medical software industry outpaces how FDA's regulatory process is designed. How can you anticipate and defend against the malicious remote hacking and shut down of an insulin infusion pump? In some instances, clinicians have weighed the risk of software failure against the benefits of using a device at all. You need to understand and apply the current provisions that NIST has put forth in recent reports FDA will integrate them into its regulatory oversight of cybersecurity management.
Device software is often used in conjunction with other software-based devices, but their interoperability was never anticipated. Can one software program defeat the performance capability or back up safety features of another software program? When interoperability problems surface, which software manufacturer takes the lead to solve the problem and deal with proprietary software issues?
These are the kinds of issues that will be highlighted during the seminar. The issues require careful consideration even though no obvious answer appears at hand.

For Hawks' Drew, longer wait could bring better news
Monday passed without any news on the fate of Hawks coach Larry Drew.
As general manager Danny Ferry promised in a press conference on Saturday, he would take some time to decide the fate of the coach whose contract is set to expire in the coming days.
For his part, Drew did not seem optimistic on Friday after the Hawks were eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs in six games by the Indiana Pacers, saying, "This will probably be the last time this group, including myself, this is the last time we'll probably be together."
Still, one has to think that the longer that Ferry goes without making his decision, the better chance Drew has of receiving a new contract from the organization. As in any situation in which a general manager is looking for a new coach, the best approach is to make a decision right away.
That gives the organization a head start on others who might be looking to make a similar move and it has the added benefit of serving to advertise the position. Potential candidates tend to be reluctant to pursue a job while the incumbent coach has yet to depart formally. However, once a job opens officially, ethical compunctions no longer stand in the way.
Parting ways with a coach sooner, as opposed to later, also gives the GM the advantage of time. If, for example, a rival organization advances to the second round of the playoffs but, for whatever reason, chooses not to retain its coach once it is eliminated, a competitor whose season ended sooner could have fired and hired a replacement before the end of the second round.
It's hard to evaluate the degree to which any of this might be weighing on Ferry, who, thus far, has remained relatively quiet. It's possible that Ferry could have a candidate in mind who is not on the radar of media or other teams who also are searching for a coach such as Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
"I'm not going to address the future yet as for organizational direction, as far as player decisions, coaching decisions, Larry's situation," he told reporters on Saturday.
Nonetheless, it's possible that Ferry might have been impressed with the job that Drew did amid trying circumstances (one of which would be having to coach in the final year of his contract, a circumstance that can erode a coach's authority over players). For one, the coach's winning percentage of .557 ranks third in franchise history (since relocating to Atlanta) behind Mike Fratello and Lenny Wilkens.
This past season, Drew had to deal with a revamped roster and a slew of players who were operating in the final years of their contracts. That can lead to self-interested, and not team-oriented, play on the part of the players.
Finally, Drew had to deal with the losses to injury of Zaza Pachulia, who would have proved a huge addition in the Pacers series, and Lou Williams, the team's top scoring threat off the bench (and who, for a time, led the team in fourth-quarter scoring).
For the last nine seasons, the Hawks have had relative stability in the coaching ranks with Mike Woodson at the helm for six and then Drew, who has served for the last three seasons. Drew has received praise from at least one key player in Al Horford, one of three players who has a guaranteed contract for next season.
Going back a few years, to the dusk of the Pete Babcock Era, Lon Kruger served for two full seasons and then 27 games into the 2002-03 season before he was fired. Terry Stots finished out that season and then coached the entire next one, earning but 28 wins. By the time Billy Knight hired Woodson in 2004, the Hawks had gone through four coaches (Wilkens, Kruger, Stots, Woodson) in five calendar years.
Whomever Ferry hires, one would think it will be for the long haul.
"We are going to take some time," Ferry told reporters on Saturday. "Give some distance, some space from the season and the playoffs, from the emotion of that and then we will make the decisions we feel best for the short-term and long-term future of the team."
The more time passes without a change, the greater the chances that Drew could become that short-term and long-term solution as coach.

Vinyl Pools
Vinyl pools, unlike how the term implies, is not actually made of vinyl but the pool is rather a composite-plastic and concrete pool with a vinyl lining. The lining of the pool is differentiated based on its thickness. Thicker linings have better quality. Aside from the size, the vinyl lining also varies in terms of pattern and design. There are quite a number of patterns that you can choose from. Rest assured that many of them would really catch your interest. If you want the very simple ones, they are also available. In contrast, sophisticated designs are also accessible. Vinyl pools are harder to construct. It usually takes a longer period of time compared to ordinary swimming pools to complete the construction. On a normal basis, it takes 5 to 8 weeks to finish the construction of the pool. Very similar to that of constructing a house, the ground should be settled before the construction will be completed. This process ensures us that the ground will be prevented from severe cracking which is the usual thing that happens when the swimming pool is built.
Vinyl pools are shaped in many designs
Vinyl pools are more appealing to human eyes merely because the pool could be shaped in any design. There are many shape patterns that you can choose from, even those designs that are really fascinating for a pool. A vinyl pool has several edges over a fibreglass pool because the latter has only very limited designs that the factory provides. Curves, semicircles, star, corners, and all others complex shapes could be a basis for your vinyl pool design. You can even design your own vinyl pool in any manner you wish. Use your creativity to think about the design that would best suit your lifestyle. Do not waste your money by getting a design done which you might regret in the future.
The life of the vinyl lining depends on how it is maintained
The vinyl lining has a very smooth texture even though it is not as smooth as that of a fiberglass pool. An estimated life of the vinyl lining largely depends on how you painstakingly maintain the condition of the swimming pool. The vinyl lining has a tendency to be torn so you have to maintain the pool in the best possible way there is. Normally, the warranty does not include the cuts in the vinyl lining. This is very essential for you to remember because once the lining is torn; it will be very costly for you to have it fixed. An average-sized vinyl pool needs around 1500$ to have its liner replaced. You will also need to reshape the bottom of the pool and this would add up to the expenses that have to be considered. Save money when you can and read the warranty of the product to give you all the information about what you bought and what services could be rendered to you once the product has defects.
Vinyl pools have the capability to combat stain
Although a vinyl pool is not 100% guaranteed to resist stain, the fundamental fact of it having a very smooth texture makes it very easy for you to remove the stains from it. This process then requires your cooperation. You have to be more responsive of the problem otherwise your pool will not be properly maintained as it had been. This is not the only good feature of having a vinyl finish. Algae and other protozoans will have a difficulty in residing at the surfaces if the pool because the pool itself is non-porous.
Vinyl pools are not labor intensive
It has been tested and proven that vinyl pools are very ideal for outdoors. The type of in ground use for the construction of vinyl pools come in kits. Once the process of digging the whole and the supporting structures is complete, the next thing that has to be done is to simply attach the material easily.
Construction of vinyl pool comes with a great price
The installation of a vinyl pool is very costly. The least that you can get is at the price of 10,000$. There are even installation packages that would cost you around 100,000$. The price though really depends on the size and design of your vinyl pool. Like any other pool there is, a wider pool area also means a greater expense of having it built. Similar to this, the very fancily designed vinyl pools also costs a great price. Normally, a rectangular shaped vinyl pool costs less than a kidney-shaped pool. This is because it will be easier to construct a pool without those intricate designs.

Joe Thornton tied the game earlier in the third and got his second assist on the game-winner for the Sharks, who have won seven of eight to move two points ahead of Anaheim, although the Ducks have a game in hand.
The Sharks, who trailed by 13 points on Jan. 15, have not been alone in first since Dec. 6.
Patrick Marleau also scored and Antti Niemi made 26 saves for San Jose.
Teemu Selanne and Mathieu Perreault scored for the Ducks, who have lost six of their last eight. Frederik Andersen made 25 saves.
Burns, who assisted on Thornton's goal, was on the receiving end on the game-winner when he crashed the net and deflected Thornton's centering pass from the boards past Andersen.
Selanne gave the Ducks the lead early in the third shortly after Anaheim killed off a San Jose power play. He started the play with an aggressive forecheck and Ryan Getzlaf took the puck away from Marty Havlat along the boards. Corey Perry got the loose puck and his quick shot deflected off Selanne and into the net to make it 2-1.
But San Jose tied it midway through the period when Burns shot the puck off Andersen's pads on a 2-on-1 and Thornton knocked in the rebound.
The game had a playoff-type atmosphere as the fans at the Shark Tank were loud and on edge from the start, breaking into derogatory chants about the Ducks right after the opening faceoff.
Neither team gave the opposition much space to operate in early in the game with only 10 combined shots in a tightly played first period that ended with the Sharks up 1-0.
The Sharks capitalized on their one power-play chance when Luca Sbisa was sent off for roughing Tommy Wingels. Sbisa got away with one questionable hit on Wingels before shoving Wingels to the ice a second time, leading to the penalty.
Thornton then sent a pass from behind the net to Marleau, who beat Andersen with a one-timer for his 29th goal. That was just the fifth power-play goal for San Jose in the past 21 games and the first point on the man advantage for Thornton in exactly two months.
Anaheim's struggling power-play unit struck in the second, getting the team's third man-advantage goal in the past 15 games. Selanne drew a pair of penalties from Logan Couture and Marc-Edouard Vlasic to give the Ducks a two-man advantage for 6 seconds.
Perreault won a faceoff from Thornton and then got in position to one-time a rebound of Corey Perry's shot for his 15th goal just seconds after Couture left the penalty box.

A hospital trust in the Midlands has become the first in the NHS to launch a real-time feedback system for patients, with comments posted directly to its website.
Patients, families and visitors to Birmingham Children's Hospital Foundation Trust can use a free app on their smartphone to post their thoughts, complaints and compliments about the trust immediately.
If it proves a success the project could be a trailblazer for similar feedback applications, as part of a wider plan to increase the patient voice across the NHS.
The feedback app allows an anonymous message to be sent direct to the ward manager in charge who can then address any concerns raised. The message is also publicly displayed on the trust's website.
Trust chief nursing officer Michelle McLoughlin, who has been leading the project said: "The app enables us to gather feedback in a way that our patients and families want to give it ,so we know immediately what we are getting right and what we need to improve to make their time with us the best it can be.
"Staff have embraced the technology and find it so rewarding to see the feedback from their patients and families and be able to respond straight away."
She said the app was not a "gimmick" and other trusts could benefit from using it.
One of the trust's ward managers, Sue Davies, added: "What I think is particularly good is that we can send a reply back to them quickly to acknowledge their comments and let them know what we have done in response.
"It shows that we take their views seriously and they don't just disappear into a black hole."
The app has been developed by Digital Life Sciences supported by NHS Midlands and East. It is expected to cost £100,000 over seven years.
It has been trialled on two wards but will now be rolled out across the trust.
The app also features a ratings function, as part of the national Friends and Family test, which allows the trust to analyse emerging themes or issues.
Messages are moderated as they go live on the hospital website to protect staff and patients, and to ensure medical details and offensive language are removed.
Since the project launched, the majority of messages posted have been positive about the trust.
Some have raised concerns including one parent who revealed a mix-up over medical notes involving two children with the same name.
They said: "I am now worried that this could have happened before. I would like all the notes to be checked."
Another said they were "very disappointed" with the attitude of the triage nurse who the family felt did not listen and "objected to every word we said".
A response posted a few hours later apologised and asked the family to contact the lead nurse.
Another post said the hospital was "let down badly by a poor planning and scheduling system" in its outpatients department that left families and children waiting too long.
One message typical of many said: "With all the news about NHS standards of care (Stafford hospital) I can only say the care you gave us is completely at the other end of the scale.
"The nursing staff in Ward 10 are exceptional in the lengths they go to administer care in what is a very demanding ward."

Great !
I've supported direct real-time patient feedback, as opposed to clinician-designed 'yes/no' questionnaires, ever since the 'family and friends' test cropped up !
The faster this becomes more widely available than simply apps on smartphones, the better, in my opinion.
what about the many, and especially the elderly or very ill, who don't or can't use a mobile phone? they are the ones most affected by bad care and do not all have somebody to speak out for them.
re anonymous, how can a complaint be dealt with immediately by the ward manager if it is posted anonymously?
furthermore anonymous seems to be ill perceive by many here!
Reinventing the wheel. Even at its worst ward 11 at mid staffs received and responded to real time feedback - they just responded inappropriately. All these ideas take time away from time to care. Is trying to get good feedback posted on the hospital screens really the way to nurse?
Anonymous | 22-Feb-2013 12:51 pm
just another way of showing off your you have a smart phone!
Anonymous | 22-Feb-2013 12:51 pm
But Mid Staffs didn't have the feedback from patients on open display, obviously - if those comemtns had been public domain, I'm pretty sure it would not ahve taken years to reach a peak !
There should be a system to allow patients who do not have smartphones to post comments - as pointed out by Anonymous | 22-Feb-2013 12:36 pm.
I am pondering over 'anonymous feedback' - this one is tricky, but I think you should somehow prove that either you or the relative commenting, was actually in the hospital, somehow ?
But, as it says, this is 'a start' and to be refined if it seems to be effective, with luck.
I sent an e-mail on jan 29th to the contact address in the F & F guidance the Nobody pointed me at - no reply so far, but this is my e-mail:
Dear John,
I was pointed at Gateway Reference 17990 during a discussion, in which the Family & Friends test cropped up.
I'm not sure exactly what type of 'feedback' you personally are anticipated to receive as contact for that document, but I'm very interested in the concept of service users, evaluating 'the less easily measurable' aspects of NHS care. Amongst other things, it is possible that some things not greatly valued by professionals might be more highly valued by patients and relatives - however, if professionals design the question(s), those things would probably not be considered within it.
So I myself, would be tempted to use a different type of question, that is harder to 'collate' but provides a more detailed answer:
'We are interested in your experiences. If you feel that you would like to comment on anything particularly good, or particularly bad, that happened to you during your stay here, please explain that to us'
or something similar.
I'm interested to understand, why the current proposal seems to concentrate on easily-evaluated methodology, instead of potentially more informative 'narrative' feedback ? Admittedly one would need to evaluate action based on narrative feedback on a 'it led to this change locally, and complaints subsequently dropped locally' basis – but it does not necessarily follow that the easier-to-compare/collate types of feedback, are the most valuable/informative, surely ?
Sounds good. Can deal with general issues + concerns, but not specific ones as feedback is anonymous. Also no proof they are a patient or relative there.
Friends + Family Test will give false positives, but I suspect people who implement that already knows. If negative feedback was given, frontline staff who are the ones asking these questions + doing their best, will be very upset + distracted, even if they are too professional to show it.
Sooner or later privacy + confidentiality will be breached by patients or relatives, for naming others (patients, staff, locations, etc), reporting without permissions of those concerned, on conditions, treatments, videoing, recording, publicizing details through any feedback sites + social networks. Even if they hand write into notebooks, details may not be secure, and if mentions others they'll have a right not to be mentioned or to receive a copy of everything too.
Frontline staff may feel like they're the ones under scrutiny for doing their job + subjected to harassment when someone thinks things should be done differently. If there's defensive practice now, it feels like it's only going to increase soon.
Oh but it was on open display - it was easily seen by relatives but the culture was such that it was ignored and because it was ignored staff came to see their behavior as acceptable and people were afraid of repercussions if they pushed it. A relative recently told me they were happy to fill in surveys about nurses because they were happy with us but threw the GP one away as they weren't happy and they thought it would cause problems even though it was anonymous. Its usually the most vulnerable who are reluctant to complain - and I can't see this happening with this system. Its just a way of satisfying a tick box that feedback is encouraged.
Bringing smartphones, mobiles, notepads, makes it tempting for opportunistic thieves, in areas of high patient turnover + visiting relatives/friends, especially where there isn't enough staff.
Anonymous | 22-Feb-2013 4:43 pm
I agree, even with anonymous paper feedback, some people were reluctant to complete + put it into the box themselves. It's not like voting papers where there's a code on every page, and anonymous can be identified to a registered individual (even if someone else fills it in).
The most vulnerable + sickest patients generally aren't making the loudest noises and would also be reluctant to complain. I bet there been occasions where nurses have answered several call bells, a few to the same patient, only them to realise their quieter patient were deteriorating and only by luck caught it in time, while more bells were going off. I reckon the feedback there would be neglect of patients ringing the bell and not that a death was prevented.

News story
Houses fit for heroes
Airdrie project among those set to benefit from £40 million of new LIBOR funding.
The already "outstanding" work that Scottish charitable projects do for the Armed Forces community will be further enhanced by cash from fines imposed on banks for manipulating lending rates.
That was the message from Scotland Office Minister David Mundell as he visited Houses for Heroes Scotland's accommodation project for disabled veterans in Airdrie.
The minister's visit coincides with the UK Government committing a further £40 million of LIBOR funding earlier this month towards nationwide housing projects for ex-Armed Forces personnel. Many more veterans across the UK are expected to benefit from this new funding over the coming years which will help charities build new homes, buy new accommodation or renovate existing facilities.
Mr Mundell said:
Veterans in Scotland and across the rest of the UK who are in need housing support will be able to benefit from a further £40 million of LIBOR funding announced by the UK Government earlier this month. This new funding is great news and underlines the UK Government's unwavering commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant.
Using LIBOR fines to help transform the lives of so many men and women in our Armed Forces community is a fitting way to show that we support those who have served their country with honour and bravery.
Founded in Edinburgh in 1915, Houses for Heroes Scotland houses the greatest number of disabled veterans in the United Kingdom. They build, provide and maintain low-cost rented housing in Scotland for British ex-Service personnel that suffer from permanent mental or physical disabilities. Last December they received almost £2 million of funding from the UK Government raised through LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) fines imposed on banks.
During his visit today the Minister met with Houses for Heroes Scotland Chief Executive Peter Minshall and Lee Aitchison, one of Houses for Heroes Scotland's current tenants and an aspiring Paralympian who has recently been selected to take part in the Paralympic Inspiration Programme in Sochi next month with aspirations to take part in the 2016 Paralympics in Rio.
The Minister added:
It was a great pleasure to be in Airdrie today and see first-hand the vital work that Houses for Heroes Scotland are undertaking. Local communities across the length and breadth of Scotland will benefit from £5.5m of LIBOR funding that Scottish charitable projects received last year. I am sure that the money Houses for Heroes Scotland have received from the LIBOR fund will further enhance their already outstanding work by providing more homes throughout Scotland for ex-Service personnel wounded in recent conflicts.
It is great to see that the assistance that Houses for Heroes Scotland has provided to the Aitchison family has made such a difference to their lives. As we have seen over the past few weeks, the Olympics provide a unique source of inspiration. I hope Lee enjoys his experience in Sochi and I have no doubt that he will give everything he has to be a part of the 2016 Paralympics and I wish him every success.

How it works:
VOLBELLA is a smooth gel injected by a SkinSpirit practitioner, using an ultra-fine needle. VOLBELLA is a lip filler specifically developed to give a soft, natural feel and to make the injection easier and less painful. The gel fills in lip lines and wrinkles while the hyaluronic acid within attracts and retains moisture, so results can last up to a year. Because it also includes a local anesthetic, clients will find this lip injection process much more comfortable than currently available treatments.
VOLBELLA is formulated with VYCROSS, a proprietary filler technology from Allergan, engineered to address specific concerns such as lip fullness and age-related volume loss in the cheek area.
Allergan's trademarked VYCROSS technology provides the following benefits:
- Smoother filler, making the injection easier and less painful
- Less swelling post-treatment
- Natural looking results
- Longer lasting results
Anticipated Results:
VOLBELLA has been found to effectively increase lip fullness and soften the appearance of lines around the mouth, with results lasting up to one year. This lip injections treatment is ideal for those looking for smooth, natural looking results that subtly enhance a client's pout.
A recent study showed that 98% of those who had lip injections with VOLBELLA reported their lip appearance goals have been achieved, with results lasting up to 12 months!

By agreeing to the Terms of Service, the client agrees only to the portion of the contract that is applicable to the services paid for. I.e. Only the birth doula portion of this Term of Service is applicable to clients registering for birth doula care. The entire Terms of Service is applicable only to clients who have registered and paid for birth doula care, postpartum doula care and a class.
Philosophy of Care
Childbirth is unpredictable and can be challenging. We believe the best support is that which engages and prepares parents emotionally and informationally. Parents deserve support regardless of the path in which their new baby arrives. Our support is inclusive and compassionate. Care is LGBTQ friendly and embraces families of all walks of life.
Our Scope of Practice
What We Do:
The specific care we provide is unique to your personal preferences and therefore varies between clients.
What is a Birth doula?
As a doula, we accompany women in labour to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. The Nesting Place doulas have received education as a doula from DONA International (which has over 8,000 members). Many of our doulas also possess additional certifications, such as childbirth educator, registered nurse, and other. Be sure to ask your doula about other certifications she possesses. Doulas draw on their knowledge and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort and communication with the staff (as needed) to make sure that you have the information you need to make informed decisions as they arise in labour. We can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labour progress, and help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques for comfort. We are independent and self-employed. Your doula will be working for you, not your caregiver or hospital.
Choosing a Doula:
Each doula will meet with an expectant couple once on an interview basis. This meeting is free of charge and requires no additional commitment. This meeting allows each party to become acquainted and share philosophies to determine if there is a suitable match. Birth is a profoundly personal experience and you must feel comfortable with your choice of doula.
Once you have chosen your doula, they will meet with you and your partner before your birth to go over some basic childbirth education and to assist you in your preparation of your birth plan. These sessions will be conducted at your house, or can be conducted at a place of your choosing.
Once retained, and with receipt of your deposit, we will inform you of your doula's contact numbers. To cover those times that she may be unavailable, we arrange one or more back-up doulas whom you may request to meet. You and your doula will certainly remain in touch by telephone as your due date approaches.
When you are in labour:
We prefer that you call your doula when you think you are in labour even if you do not yet need her. She can answer questions and make suggestions over the phone. You will decide if she should come right then or wait for further progress/changes. We usually need approximately one hour from the time you ask us to come (depending on place of birth). We will also decide where to meet (home, hospital, birth centre). Except for extraordinary circumstances, your doula or her back-up will remain with you throughout your labour and birth.
After birth:
Your doula usually remain with you for approximately 1-2 hours postpartum, until you are comfortable and your family is ready for quiet time together. She can also assist with initial breastfeeding if necessary/requested.
She is available for phone contact to answer questions about birth or your baby and would like to get together with you within one to two weeks to see how you are doing, review the birth, and get feedback from you about her role. If your package includes more postpartum support, she will coordinate based on your needs and her availability. If for some reason you need immediate support and she is unavailable, please contact us to arrange to have another doula come and assist you.
What Birth doulas do not do:
As a doula we do not:
Failure of a doula to provide service:
We will make every effort to provide the services described here. Sometimes this is impossible (for example, a rapid labour). If our failure to attend your birth is due to our error, there will be no charge for our birth services and we will refund half of your birth fee (remaining is used for prenatal visits and one postpartum visit). If it is due to your failure to call us, no refund is issued. Birth can be a very unpredictable event, and although we will provide physical and emotional comfort to be best of our ability, we cannot guarantee you a problem-free birth.
Fees (price is based on location of residence):
Back to Basics Package includes: $950- $1250 plus HST
This One Feels Juuuust Right! Package includes: $1000- $1300
I Need a Village! Package includes: $1300- $1600
What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula is trained to help new famailies in the early weeks with their new baby. From help with breastfeeding (infant feeding), education on newborn care, running errands, helping with older siblings, nighttime support, self-care recovery measures, adjustment to new roles and anything else a new family needs help with, parents find the additional support invaluable.
Studies have shown that a doula's presence reduces postpartum depression and increases a parent's ability to bond with their baby. We will do an intake to assess your family's needs and partner you with the best doula(s) for your situation. If at any time you would prefer another doula, we will replace your doula (1 week's notice required).
Choosing a Doula:
We will meet with each expectant couple once on a consultation basis. This meeting is free of charge and requires no additional commitment. This meeting allows us to become acquainted and share our philosophies to determine if there is a suitable match. Parenting is profoundly personal experience and you must feel comfortable with your choice of team.
Once retained we will inform you of all contact numbers of any doulas involved in the care of your family. We always attempt to limit the number of doulas involved in your care, however with short notice bookings this may be impossible due to other scheduling commitments of our doulas with other families.
What Postpartum doulas do not do:
Failure of a doula to provide service:
We will make every effort to provide the services described here. Sometimes this is impossible (for example, your doula gets called to a birth during her shift). If our failure to attend a shift is due to our error, there will be no charge for the hours missed. If it is due to your last minute cancellation of services, no refund is issued. 48 hours notice is required for changes.
We agree to work for you on a pre-determined schedule, subject to availability and mutually agreeable hours. For billing purposes, an hour is considered to begin when the doula arrives at your home on a previously arranged time. If the doula runs errands for you on their way to your home, the hour begins when they arrive at their first stop.
No refunds are given on the retainer fee. The retainer reflects our commitment to be available to you as well as your commitment of payment for securing our services. The retainer is equal to two weeks of service. You will then be billed at the end of each week for the week's hours. The retainer will be used for the final two weeks of work.
Overnight support:
Overnight support allows parents to get much needed sleep, which is associated with greater well-being. The doulas will make every attempt to keep the baby(ies) as quiet as possible so you can get the most sleep possible. We will adjust our techniques as the baby(ies) get older. When the baby(ies) is/are asleep the doula may have a little cat-nap. You can expect the doula to always be attentive to the baby(ies) neds and be regularly checking-in on the baby(ies). The doula will clean bottles and preapre bottles if we can do that without waking you. This is sometimes difficult if they kitchen is near your room. We keep a constant dialogue between the doulas and the parents so we're all utilizing the same techniques. At any point that you share something you want us to do, or not do, you can expect this to be share with other involved members of the team and a team manager who oversees all contracts. Overnight shifts are typically 10pm to 6am unless otherwise agreed upon with the doula. When a doula is asked to stay late, extra time will be billed at the same hourly rate.
Statutory holidays:
If a regularly scheduled postpartum shift falls on a statutory holiday, the client will have the option of canceling the shift or paying 1.5x the regular rate. The doula is not required to work on statutory holidays and doing so is at their sole discretion.
All Birth Doula fees are subjected to taxes. Clients may submit their payment online in full or provide a credit card for us to have on file to process fees as per a payment plan. Interac transfer is also available and can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
All Postpartum Doula fees are NOT subjected to taxes. Clients will submit deposit of 2 weeks of service as a non-refundable deposit. This deposit is required to reserve postpartum doula care. Clients booking less than 2 weeks of services will pay their booking in full. Clients will then be booked at the end of each week, starting the week service begins. Once we've been given notice, we will begin to use the deposit for the last 2 weeks of care. The deposit may extend over 2 weeks of care if hours are used less frequently than the first two weeks of care. Clients may submit their payment online in full or provide a credit card for us to have on file to process fees as per a payment plan. Interac transfer is also available and can be sent to info@thenestingplace.
Postpartum clients MUST use their hours within 3 months of their birth date. Any hours remaining after this time will be expired. If the client would like to extend their postpartum contract, they can submit a registration form for additional time and their hours will need to be used within 3 months of submitting their renewing form.
Clients registering for both birth and postpartum doula care will be subject to both deposits as their initial payment and may submit their payment online in full or provide a credit card for us to have on file to process fees as per a payment plan. Interac transfer is also available and can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Birth and postpartum doula care will NOT be confirmed until payment is received.

Your contact information will not be sold or shared with any group outside of The Nesting Place or added to any email subscription list outside of The Nesting Place's email list.

If your doula is unable to attend your birth because of unforeseen circumstances, you may make use of your back up doula. No refunds are provided in the event that a backup doula is used. No refunds are provided if you choose not to have a backup doula attend your birth.
No refunds are provided if your doula misses your labour because you do not call her or your labour is very fast.
Please remember, if you do not call your doula to attend your labour, please inform her of the birth so that she may provide the best postpartum care for you as possible.

The European Commission adopted a proposed regulation on animal transport on July 16th 2003 which will radically overhaul animal-transport rules in Europe. It involves much stricter rules on journeys for animals of more than nine hours. Comment: The significance of this development is that the EU may in due course seek third-country compliance with these rules in order for animal products to be allowed entry into the EU market. ACP meat-product exporters will therefore need to closely monitor EU efforts to promote such international observance of EU rules.

Rail Safety and the CN/CP lines running north of Dupont St
As you may be aware, there has been a steady wave of increased interest in, awareness of, and activitiy involving the CN/CP Rail line that runs along the northern border of our community (and others!)
Several groups have been advocating for greater rail safety, including:
- Rail Safety Firsthttp://www.railsafetyfirst.com/about/ and;
- SafeRailhttp://saferail.ca/
Recently, area MP's (Adam Vaughan, Chrystia Freeland, Carolyn Bennett) have been hosting a number of meetings to raise attention and awareness of this very important issue. Ward 19 and 20 Councillors Joe Cressy and Mike Layton are a part of a group of city Councillors who represent wards that are traversed by the CP Rail Line. They have signed and sent a rail safety letter to Transportation Minister Lisa Raitt. It is also signed by the Mayor.
Councillor Cressy assures us that rail safety is an important issue and a matter of great concern for him and his staff. The Ward 20 office will continue to advocate with the Federal government, especially regarding the transportation of dangerous goods along the rail line. Joe and other Councillors sent this letter to request that the Federal Government listen to our community's concerns and work with us to ensure that the relevant information is given to us, and that residents are protected. That letter is attached below.
Over the next few weeks, there are several Town Hall Meetings devoted to this important issue.
Wednesday May 27th: Rail Safety First http://www.railsafetyfirst.com/attendthetownhall
Time: 7:00pm
Location: U of T Auditorium – UTS/Sociology/OISE Building – St. George Campus 371 Bloor St West Toronto, ON M5S 2R7

*Timeline is subject to change due to unforeseen events.
The City of Toronto will resurface Manning Avenue from Bloor Street West to Dupont Street starting the week of May 12. Sections of damaged curb and sidewalks will also be replaced. This work will improve both the road and sidewalk conditions along your street.
This work is part of the City's comprehensive and coordinated strategy to rehabilitate and upgrade our roads for current and future needs. The project is part of the Council-approved 2014 Capital Works Program.
If you have questions about the upcoming work, please contact the City and quote Contract #.14TE-110TR

Park Renewal May 2015
Underway are the improvements to the service road and hard-surface play area in between Bill Bolton Arena and the playground. Soon coming is an amazing ping pong table and continued landscaping in this area, including improvements to the fencing, to be done as soon as the newly poured concrete has cured and hardened. Looks like heavy vehicles will be able to access the area early next week to get started on installing these features.
We will have an update, including a revised schedule, for this construction especially as it has (unexpectedly) been impacting access along Palmerston Ave and the east sidewalk of Palmerston along the park.
Thank you for your ongoing patience while this is underway!

All the best,

Pasco Sinkhole
Almost three weeks ago, one of the largest sinkholes in recent memory developed in Pasco County, swallowing a pair of homes and threatening others nearby. Researchers at the University of South Florida have been assisting authorities with the aftermath of the disaster. We'll find out what they've learned – and how that knowledge might help Floridians in the future – on University Beat on WUSF 89.7.
Dr. Lori Collins, Co-Director of the University of South Florida Library's Digital Heritage and Humanities Collections, shows how maps dating back to 1847 indicate changes in the Pasco County neighborhood where two homes were recently swallowed by a sinkhole.
Then, Garrett Speed, USF Libraries multimedia developer, shows how drones help collect 3D data from the scene.

In my experience, I don't know of any U.S. dealers of the Fatar keyboards. Classic Midi Works is the easiest to deal with, they come with everything you need, including the brackets (not the keycheeks). Their keyboards are the Fatar ones. I am aware that Arndt Organ Supply also has those same keyboards, but without the brackets, any hardware or midi connections, or combination buttons, for much less $, but more work.
The CMK-3s arrive ready to snap together, plug into your interface, and GO!!!
