I ordered this slipcover after measuring over and over, but it's too big for my chair. However, I have looked and looked at other websites/stores and cannot find anything really smaller. I just ended up keeping the slipcover and tucking it down the sides to get rid of excess fabric. The arms of the slipcover are still too big to really do much with, but I finally decided it looked good enough, overall. I am currently looking for another slipcover. This one will have to do until I find another one. Color I ordered was the light-looking ivory color. In person, it has a pinkish tint to it, not yellow ivory, but pink-ivory. I would have preferred a more yellow tinted ivory. Would recommend if you like cotton blend (cotton/poly) material and if you like to tuck extra material down into cushions. If you like a pinkish tint to ivory, then this slipcover is for you.
The quality and ease of this product are nice (although the fabric is a little thinner than I expected). It has little tags sticking out of the arms, front and back to help you put it on the first time, which is handy. Once it's on, you can tear the tags away. But, for all it's quality, this thing is seriously ginormous! It would fit a chair at least 50% wider than the chair I bought it for. (For the record, the chair I have is from Ikea, and I think it was called Ektorp.) I was able to do a lot of fabric tucking and it looks barely passable, but this is our "dog chair" so I'm not going to stress about it. :) I'm pretty handy with a sewing machine, so I might end up making some adjustments so it looks better, but for now it will do. But just know before you buy, I think it could very easily fit a chair-and-a-half type chair. A normal armchair will be swimming in it.
Our much-loved and much-used chair got a definite face lift with this slipcover. It washes really easily and that just adds to the shabby-chic look that I am comfortable with on our good old chair.
These are nice tightly-woven twill slipcovers. Of course they are not as wrinkle free on the chair as the picture, but I have two oversize chairs with fat arms and they fit them well. The only problem I had was with the color At first I ordered sage green, which turned out to be an olive brown. I replaced with the blue, hoping it was not too bright as shown in the picture. When it arrived the package said Ming Blue, which is more of a gray blue, and very nice.
I am not sure if my chairs are are a small styke or thr cover was over sizes. it was too big for altering. It was returned.
Fits great, except my seat didn't fit well in the cover. Don't remember if there were exact dimensions on the seat cover, so this is likely my fault.
The product fit was good. But it was more yellow than the picture indicated. And the material was thinner than I had expected. But the product served it's purpose very well. I wanted something for the lakehouse that could take shoes and food stains, and this slipcover works great. I do not worry or stress when the children do normal activities on the two chairs that I covered. In fact I removed a chocolate smore stain with a wet cloth, soap and water...perfect.
I have a very oversized chair so the cover is a bit tight in areas, but all-in-all it looks really good! I have the matching sofa slipcover and they really look great together and add a fresh look to old furniture!
Good slipcover, but make sure dimensions match your chair, not very flexible.
This fit my big armchair like a glove.. The seat cover is a little large but I love it.. It looks like it was made for my chair

THE LINCOLN LAWYER Blu-Ray Combo with Digital Copy
Studio: Lionsgate
Year: 2011
Rated: R
Film Length: 1 hour, 59 minutes
Aspect Ratio: 1080p High Definition Widescreen (2.35:1)
Audio: English 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio
Subtitles: English, Spanish
Release Date: July 12, 2011
The Movie
The Lincoln Lawyer is Mick Haller(Matthew McConaughey), a Los Angeles lawyer who operates his office out of the back of a Ford Lincoln. Mick skates in the gray area of legal ethics as might be inferred from the style of his office. Mick finds his ethics challenged after he agrees to take a big money case defending Louis Roulet(Ryan Phillippe), a rich boy who may or may not have been framed for a crime. Mick quickly finds himself in over his head in the case of his career. Marisa Tomei plays Mick's ex-wife Maggie and William H. Macy plays his investigator Frank Levin.
The Lincoln Lawyer is a screen adaptation of the best-selling crime thriller written by Michael Connelly. Director Brad Furman(The Take) has created films in this genre before and creates a suspenseful modern noir style for the film. The screenplay by John Romano (Intolerable Cruelty, Dark Angel) conveys the flavor of defense litigation without getting too bogged down in un-cinematic legal procedure. This is one of those legal thrillers that demands the full attention of the audience or you might get lost in the twists and turns of the plot.
The Lincoln Lawyer is an entertaining, fairly fast-moving suspense thriller, given that it has its share of courtroom scenes that can slow down the pace in these types of films. McConaughey is well cast as Mick, a slick lawyer who really has a heart. The first rate cast elevates this film, which also includes Josh Lucas(American Psycho), John Leguizamo(Gamer), Michael Pena(Shooter), Bob Gunton(The Shawshank Redemption), Frances Fisher(Titanic), and Bryan Cranston(Breaking Bad).
The movie is in 1080p high definition in its original 2.35:1 screen aspect ratio. This is a better than average transfer from film. Clarity and detail of images is terrific for the most part, except for a few shots which may be deliberately lacking in contrast. There is some minor DNR and edge enhancement but nothing to distract and take one out of the film. Film grain is virtually non-existent which is consistent with the theatrical appearance of most modern films. Colors are not particularly vibrant, but not drab either, which is appropriate, and probably deliberate, to build mood and suspense for this type of film.
The English 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio is without any apparent flaws. The audio does good service to the needs of the film with some nice directional audio. Ambient sounds are handled well throughout with a few action and music sequences demonstrating the range of this mix.
Special Features
The special features are all in 1080p and include all of the following:
Making The Case: Creating The Lincoln Lawyer (13:40): This featurette includes interviews with cast and crew regarding production of the film.
Michael Connelly: At Home On The Road (10:16): Author Connelly talks about his initial concerns in translating his book to the screen and his apparent satisfaction with the result.
One on One With McConaughey and Connelly(5:28): Author Connelly conducts a brief interview of the star who plays his fictional character on screen.
Deleted Scenes: There are 4 brief scenes that may be selected individually or with the "Play All" function: Check It Out(1:14), Good Night(0:54), The Car Is Fun(1:15), and Officer Maxwell(0:44).
Trailers(10:16): This includes Conan The Barbarian, Warrior, The Next 3 Days, and The Conspirator. These trailers also play automatically after loading the BD disc.
Bookmarks: Feature allows viewers to return quickly to certain portions or clips of the film.
Digital Copy: A second disc includes the film on DVD and a digital copy for transfer to portable media devices. The DVD was not evaluated for this review.
The Lincoln Lawyer is a better than average legal thriller that has its fair share of action and suspense. The video and audio presentation are excellent and do good service to the film. The special features may not be comprehensive but probably will satisfy anyone who wants to know more about The Lincoln Lawyer short of reading the original book., and a DVD and digital copy of the film are included as well. Anyone who enjoys suspense thrillers on the big screen will probably find time spent with The Lincoln Lawyer to be worth the while.

Nice review. One of the few MM films I liked. Really liked this film and plan on picking it up Tuesday. Movies like this are enjoyable and suspenseful and are still effective with repeated viewings. I saw it 2 times in the theater.

Bringing laser TV to market is a significant industry accomplishment and we're very proud to be the only TV manufacturer to date that has delivered on the promise of a laser-driven TV," said Frank DeMartin, Mitsubishi's VP of marketing. "With operating power at approximately 135W, LaserVue is environmentally friendly, consuming approximately one-third the power of today's LCD TVs, and one-fourth of plasma TVs. Living in today's green-conscious environment, consumers can enjoy this color-brilliant, ground-breaking home entertainment product while being mindful of energy consumption at the same time."
Other features include Smooth 120Hz technology, x.v. Color and a 1080p image packed into a slick cabinet that's 10 inches thin. It's also equipped with 3D-ready viewing capabilities.

Positioning Michigan for sustained economic growth
Patrick Center
March 22, 2013 | WGVU
What are the strengths and weaknesses of Michigan's workforce? It's an important question as the state works toward improving its economy. A new report suggests there are approximately 50,000 to 60,000 positions available in the state. Trouble is there's a lack of qualified workers. On the flip-side, there are high demand jobs with a glut of talent. How can Michigan work toward striking a balance and gain a competitive edge?

Hassan rips Connecticut bill as benefitting Northern Pass
"Many in my state believe that the impetus for Connecticut's legislation is your state's desire to benefit from the Northern Pass project," Hassan wrote.
The Granite State governor warned the bill has the potential to impact New Hampshire's "most important natural resources.
Malloy's office rejected Hassan's arguments.
"Accessing hydroelectric power is a win-win for Connecticut and the region because it will lower rates for Connecticut residents and increase our supply of renewable energy," wrote chief of staff, Mark Ojakian.
Jane Difley, President of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, praised Hassan's efforts.
"Our biomass industry not only provides jobs in the woods and in our biomass power plants, but also provides a needed market for low grade wood," Difley said.

- Birthday DinnerOUDadDined on 10/25/2014My wife and I were searching for a place to take our daughter for her 21st birthday. The TripAdvisor reviews did not steer us wrong; Metro Wine Bar was fantastic. To begin with, we liked that it was small and we didn't have to walk blocks to the restaurant and/or fight for a parking spot. We were greeted immediately and our table was ready. It took a few minutes for our waiter to get to our table but after that the service was great. The wine, the food and the dessert were all outstanding. The evening was exactly what we wanted it to be and personalized dessert plate topped off the dinner; my daughter was beaming. We'll return to this restaurant again.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014I met a friend for our first date. That was the first time I've been there and was impressed. She had been there before because she recommended it. I will do the same. Also, I love to cook and get many ideas from dining out. That was the first time I had risotto. It was wonderful and am attempting to make it myself tonight along with Braised Beef Burgandy. I would have made it last night except the Chuck has to marinate 16-24 hours. The food was awesome, the environment was quiet, the service was great, and I will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and AmbienceJoannVIPDined on 9/7/2014The food was delicious. I ordered the Sunday Supper. The cod was cooked to perfection and flavorful and the Ozark pudding was terribly good and terribly fattening and I've been walking on the treadmill ever since. This is the third time we've been to The Metro and we plan to go back many times more. The room was full of people but really not particularly loud and the service was great!!! Thanks, Metro!Special Features:

Being from Dallas, I'm not familiar with Oklahoma City so I went on trip advisor and looked up the best of the best in OKC and hit the jackpot when I picked The Metro Wine Bar and Bistro!! The moment we arrived they wished my daughter a "Happy Birthday" and the evening just got better from there!! My daughter had the salmon and I had the shrimp and scallop risotto, both dishes were stunningly delicious!! For dessert they brought my daughter a wonderful chocolate fudge cake and I had the bread pudding, both were delish!! It was the perfect mother/daughter evening, very enjoyable and memorable!! Thanks for going above and beyond for our special occasion!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A little offLunchieDined on 8/18/2014I love the metro and have always enjoyed the food and overall atmosphere. This lunch was a little off though. I had the cod and quinoa special. The fish was delicious but the quinoa and fish were both very, very salty. So much so I didn't finish my lunch. My reservation was at 1 and our server would disappear for long stretches. By the time we left the restaurant was mostly empty and our server was occupied with turning tables and resetting. We ordered dessert as it was a birthday and it took forever. Disappointed in the Metro this trip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

My wife has the butter fish special and I had the flounder, both fish that require excellent preparation, not a problem at the Metro, however. Everything was perfect, the service was friendly and efficient. We will look forward to our next visit - won't be long!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

TriMet audit finds safety, financial problems
Jan 29, 2014
By The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Portland's regional mass-transit agency must improve transparency, address safety concerns and get a handle on more than $1 billion in unfunded financial obligations, a state audit concluded.
The 54-page audit by the Oregon secretary of state's office — obtained Tuesday by The Oregonian and other media outlets — said strained relations between TriMet management and the Amalgamated Transit Union, which represents most of the agency's front-line employees, are also hurting operations.
Secretary of State Kate Brown said low morale and employee mistrust of management are barriers to communications and problem-solving,
"TriMet must work to improve a contentious labor-management relationship in order to solve its fiscal challenges and continue to provide critical services to Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas County residents," Brown said in a statement Wednesday. "While auditors found more than two dozen areas of concern, TriMet's $1.1 billion health care and pension liabilities remain the agency's most significant challenge."
In a 10-page response, TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane didn't dispute the findings.
"Our first focus will be on those items that further the delivery of safe and dependable service," he said.
TriMet operates 79 bus lines with 6,800 stops and four MAX-light rail lines covering 52 miles.
State lawmakers ordered the audit last year, after The Oregonian reported that bus drivers were sleepy and managers received secret pay raises.
Following the articles, TriMet started to require at least 10 hours off between shifts. The audit found that bus collisions, overtime pay and reports of drivers falling asleep have all declined since TriMet took that step.
The audit urged management to meet more frequently with union leaders to address operational and financial challenges.
Over the past decade, the cost of medical benefits has increased 65 percent. The agency has $852 million in unfunded liability to pay health benefits for current and future retirees, the audit found. TriMet also must find a way to pay $274 million in pension liabilities.
Bruce Hansen, ATU 757 president, likes the idea of regular meetings, but he's not hopeful anything will come of it — despite McFarlane's promise to make the effort.
"I'm ready," Hansen said. "But I'm not convinced that management is open to change."

Mystery Solved! Bane Caused The Power Outage At The Super Bowl [Video]
Check out this funny video that the guys at Funny or Die made about Bane being revealed as the culprit behind the Super Bowl 47 blackout.
Check out this funny video that the guys at Funny or Die made about Bane being revealed as the culprit behind the Super Bowl 47 blackout.
With so many amazing moments Super Bowl XLVII may well go down as one of the most memorable, if not controversial, championships of all time. What better way to memorialize it than to bust out some haiku? Well, okay, video of Jacoby Jones' kickoff return, Beyonce's halftime show or the Dorito's goat would be cool, too, but you get the point.
I thought the Super Bowl was great. It was a tale of two halves. The Baltimore Ravens dominated the first half and thanks to the power outage, the San Francisco 49ers dominated the second half. Of course we all know the Ravens were able to hold off the Niners and won 34-31.
This Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers are going to take on the Baltimore Ravens in Super XVLII in New Orleans, who do you think is going to win?
Is it going to be the Ravens who are led by Ray Lewis, and is playing his last game.
Courtney Lenz, a five year veteran of the Baltimore Ravens cheerleading squad, is claiming the team left her off the trip to the Super Bowl because of her "slight weight gain." Oh deer! Sorry, I meant dear. Force of habit with this squad.
KLAQ and the El Paso Roadhouse are throwing the biggest Super Bro party this side of the Mississippi and your invited!
By now you know that the Super Bowl is one the most heavily betting sporting events of the year. It seems that every year the prop bets get crazier and crazier. Don't get me wrong, you still have your traditional bets like who's gonna win the game and who's gonna be the MVP.
ESPN reporter Shelley Smith is breaking the news that there have been others hoaxed by the same person Deadspin.com believes is behind the myth of Lennay Kekua -- Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's fictitious girlfriend -- lending credence to Notre Dame's version of events.
If you didn't see these guys during the political season, check them out here as Bad Lip Reading takes on the NFL. Hilarious!
Is there any team in America that took a bigger nosedive than USC? From pre-season Number 1 to a 7-6 finish after getting bounced by Georgia Tech, 21-7, in the Hyundai Sun Bowl, the Trojans looked like they were sleepwalking. It sure didn't help that the team didn't seem very happy to be in El Paso. Either way, head coach Lane Kiffin had this message for the city of El Paso and USC fans.
At least there's one USC that finished its season on a high note -- the University of South Carolina, comeback winners over the Michigan Wolverines, 33-28. And the guy who started that move? Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Michigan had just been handed a first down they should not have had after a fake punt. Clowney took matters into his own hands with -- to me -- the hit of the year. If you can disagree, show me a link to one that's better.
It was a first, that's for sure. After having to wait over 40 minutes for Utah at last year's Sheriff's Posse Dinner, Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson wasn't about to accept another Pac-12 diss to start his second straight Hyundai Sun Bowl experience. So, after waiting 40 minutes for USC to show up for the annual kickoff feed and talent show, he put officials on notice — 10 more minutes and the Yellowjackets would say, "Adios!"
The 10 minutes came and went. And so did Georgia Tech.

"My husband and I attended the 9Health Fair in April of 2004 at the Susan M Duncan YMCA in Arvada. We had gone through most of the stations and were on our way out when we saw the line for skin screenings. It was shorter than usual so we decided to stop and get checked. Thank GOD we did. I was checked by the doctor who noticed a dark freckle on my left arm and a spot on my face; she recommended that both areas be checked by my doctor. I had the freckle on my arm removed and sent off to the lab. It was melanoma! It was .3mm deep so it was caught early. I will have to manage this for the rest of my life but now that I am educated, it will help me through any future incidents. While my doctor had a watch on this freckle, it was the 9Healthfair that recommended further inspection and treatment and may have saved my life. I will always be thankful to the 9Health Fair."

Seven months after her father passed away from a heart attack, Mickie went to a 9Health Fair. Her blood screening results indicated that her cholesterol levels were high. She went to her doctor who referred her to a cardiologist. An angiogram showed a partial blockage in her artery. Since then, she has made important changes in her life – she is on medication, receives regular checkups and goes to 9Health Fair every year - except last year to attend her son's wedding! She believes 9Health Fair helped save her life and prevented her from suffering a heart attack like her father.

Every Spring, people from around the state come together to deliver 9Health Fair's free and low-cost health awareness and educational screenings. Because of this volunteerism, over 100,000 lives are impacted annually. Since 1980, 9Health Fair has affected 1.7 million lives.
Because our mission promotes health awareness and encourages individuals to assume responsibility for their own health, we collaborate with health screening partners and organizations around the state to provide comprehensive health screenings and interactive educational centers at all 9Health Fair sites. This information helps empower participants to become more aware of, and responsible for, their health.
About three to six weeks after a 9Health Fair visit, participants receive detailed information about their results, along with reminders to seek complete diagnosis and treatment from their primary care physician. Participants with critical or alert health results will receive a phone call within 72 hours of their 9Health Fair visit from a volunteer Registered Nurse and/or physician instructing them to seek immediate medical attention.

Did you know that drinking tea can be good for you?Submitted by Joseph.Ngo on Sat, 11/09/2013 - 05:24
Unless you've been living under a rock or are privy to some secret scientific study debunking thousands of years of wisdom, you probably knew that tea is generally good for you. But there may be more that you didn't know about tea.
This 3-minute Yahoo video segment offers a concise breakdown of the attributes of various teas, their benefits, and some helpful preparation tips.
Undoubtedly we have heard or read about these benefits in various information media, but perhaps there's yet something else to be learned as I discovered after watching.
Did you know...
- What differentiates white, green, and black teas?
- The caffeine content compared to coffee?

Yes. I drink lots of Southern "Sweet Tea"
Nothing quenches the thirst better than tea in the summer. The Chinese have used it for healing for millenia.
If you want the recipe for Southern "sweet tea," I will be happy to share. My mother made lousy tea, and I just learned how to make it right after 60 years.
Green Tea and Viagra against cancer
In combination appear to be effective against some cancers according
to research at a top Japanese medical university.
Green tea was known to inhibit or kill cancer cells in vitro (cell cultures)
but the effect was inhibited in the human body by a chemical that happens
to be suppressed by Viagra.
Of course, people are cautioned not to try this at home, but if you are not
someone for whom use of Viagra is advised against it's kind of hard to see
how trying this on your own could be all that dangerous - or more dangerous
than a lot of the alternatives , especially if you already have cancer...
Coffee helps me poop in the morning

I cant even read when I go anymore because it is so... efficient.

Thanks I just learned something new

That's for the video.
I dont want to watch your
I dont want to watch your video, why'd you have to make a post with a bunch of questions rather than giving the info?
Then don't.
Why'd you have to comment at all? Here's this well-meaning post by a fellow member at the DP, a post appropriately labelled "health." What's with the negativity - no less with the "writing style" of the post? There are no STYLE RULES here at the DP! Lol. There are, however, grammar rules. [Please see Daily Paul Posting Rules, Sec. 19 Grammar & Punctuation.] Sentences such as yours are expressly forbidden. Hey, that reminds me of a Moby song!
Anyway, bottom line, if you were either so confounded or irritated by the, um, writing style, you could have simply moved on. Well, I think I'll listen to a little music while I have my tea. Btw, to each his own. If you don't want to watch the video, that's okay! :)
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.

Just trying to respect the rules of the Daily Paul
I generally like to support the DP and not have the Federales take down my favorite community information aggregation site so I try to abide by Nystrom's rules.
Do not post the ENTIRE text of articles from other sites. This is copyright infringement, and could get you, me, and this site in trouble. (In fact, it already has!) Feel free to post a short intro, and then a link to the original article. Understanding fair use would be wise, also.
(emphasis added).
Also, posing the questions instead of authoritatively dishing the info serves to save me from typing more than I wanted to and places the burden of veracity on the publisher (and the reader) instead of me. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Russian choir of 4,335 performs in St. Petersburg
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) - More than 4,000 Russian singers have performed outdoors in St. Petersburg with the aim of setting a world record for the largest choir.
The 4,335 singers of all ages and from nearly all of the city's professional and amateur choirs sang from the steps of St. Isaac's Cathedral before thousands of spectators under an intermittent rain.
The spectators, who closed their umbrellas with the start of Sunday's performance, sang along during the one-hour concert.
The 14 songs performed included some of the most popular and patriotic songs of Russia and the Soviet Union, including a hymn celebrating the country's victory in World War II.
Yulia Alshenina, whose daughter sang in the choir, said the concert was so moving she could not hold back her tears.

Sunday morning, the talk around the Cubs was how Travis Wood has three starts left this season to try to turn things around.
The Cubs and Pirates each have their own team chefs at Wrigley Field, but Chicago reliever Pedro Strop wanted to get in on the fun, too.
Mike Olt's grand slam against the White Sox on the South Side seems like a lifetime ago.
The Cubs came into the weekend series against the Pirates on a hot streak, having just swept the playoff-hopeful Milwaukee Brewers.
The Cubs have now spent more than 24 hours — one full day — in rain delays during the 2014 season.

Ever had friends try to tell you how much more clear-thinking and able-bodied they are when they're high? Denver's Under the Drone will convince you of exactly that. The group's precision stoner rock chokes on the smoky grooves of Kyuss and Nirvana's Bleacheven as it sculpts protein-packed riffs with all the pinpoint brutality of Today Is the Day. Shooting ragged bursts of punk-edged rancor, singer/guitarist Ben Gun heaves and thrashes above a veritable bong-load of paranoid noise and liquefying distortion. The quartet put out a bottom-heavy eponymous EP earlier this year and is currently chiseling out its debut full-length, Keep It Shred, set for release in early 2005. Gun and crew will ring in the new year with ringing ears this Friday, December 31, at the Lion's Lair, with Self Service and Prescription. Get off the couch and Under the Drone.

Wow. Just wow. I cannot believe what I just watched. The season premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey was off the charts entertaining tonight. Kudos to Bravo for finding such amazing (and somewhat scary) new cast members for its third season. In my opinion Teresa Giudice's brother, Joe Gorga, is by far the star of this episode. New cast members Melissa and Kathy do their best to stir the pot, but when push literally comes to shove, Joe Gorga is hands down the champion of crazy.
I'll start from the beginning, the christening of Teresa's nephew, Giuseppe. The Gorga family spares no expense when it comes to throwing a christening party. This is evident from the constant flow of Sambuca shots, the painted mural of little Giuseppe, and the ice sculpture of a cross. After all, nothing pays homage to the King of Kings like a melting cross. If you leave through the gift shop, be sure to pick up a couple of Giuseppe Gorga commemorative plates.
The show starts off very quickly with Teresa saying in her interview that she and her sister-in-law, Melissa (Joe Gorga's wife), don't get along very well. What Teresa fails to mention is that her brother seems to despise her. The reason is never clearly explained by Joe Gorga during the episode. He gives a few halfhearted exclamations of, "Joe and Teresa tore apart me and my father," but it never makes much sense. Melissa in her interviews continually pounds away at Teresa and Joe. It's hard to take much of what she says seriously, because she is constantly mixing in, "Praise Jesus!" "Praise Jesus!" is a very effective and powerful thing to say, but when you say it at the wrong time, it comes across as kind of creepy. Example: "I was taught to be a wife in the kitchen, a lady public, and a whore in the bedroom. Praise Jesus!" Obviously there is an incredible amount of back-story that we that we don't know involving the Gorga and Giudice families, but in the hour of television time allotted, it seems that the anger Joe and Melissa have against Teresa and Joe is mostly made up and in their heads.
At the Gorga christening (the first christening I have ever witnessed that needed a bouncer) an enormous brawl breaks out. It begins when Teresa approaches the head table and utters those good old fashioned fightin' words, "Congratulations!" This makes Joe Gorga lose his mind and respond with, "Get the f--- out of here," "Leave," and the always brotherly, "You're garbage!" To Teresa's credit, as mean as her brother was, she does begin to walk away before he calls her garbage. Joe does all this while pounding shot after shot with his pinkie out. He is obviously a very fancy man. Joe Gorga then starts banging his enormous fists on the table so hard that peas and beef fly into the air. At this point Joe Giudice has seen enough and charges Joe Gorga. This is one of the most frightening things I have ever seen on television, since Joe Giudice looks like a guy that could kill everyone in New Jersey using nothing but a cue ball in a sweat sock.

Interview with Chef Todd Mohr Founder of www.WebCookingClasses.com
Mike Carruthers:
Cooking on the grill outside is in many ways harder than cooking the kitchen. For one thing food tends to stick to the grill.
Chef Todd Mohr:
People complain to me about that all of the time. How do I get things to stop sticking? Well that's one of the most important things is to #1 get that grill very hot to begin with.

Interview with Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author of the book Executive Presence: The Missing Link Between Merit and Success
Mike Carruthers:
To acquire executive presence you need confidence, poise and great communication skills. But what's often left out of the equation is the right appearance.
Sylvia Ann Hewlett:
And you know appearance is fascinating because leaders talk out of both sides of their mouth. They say look we don't really think appearance is that important in the long run it's like 10% of the equation.
June 23, 2014
Mike Carruthers:
There's something fascinating called executive presence.
Sylvia Ann Hewlett:
Executive presence is not performance it's not whether you will deliver the goods or hit the numbers. It's about what you signal to the world in terms of your potential.

Mike Carruthers:
We've had 44 United States Presidents and some of them have been a little bit quirky.
Cormac O'Brien:
One of my favorites is the story of James Monroe. He got into an argument with his own Secretary of the Treasury, a fellow named Crawford. It got so bad that Crawford started threatening violence and the President had to chase the guy out of the White House with a hot fire tongs.

Interview with Kat Duff, author of the book The Secret Life of Sleep
Mike Carruthers:
While some people view sleep as little more than a nuisance.
Kat Duff:
I view sleep as a natural resource like the air we breathe and the water we drink. But the lives we lead eat away at our sleep.
June 17, 2014
Mike Carruthers:
Do you get enough sleep?
Kat Duff:
The way to know whether you are getting adequate sleep both quantity and quality is if you feel awake all day long and you don't struggle against drowsiness.

Mike Carruthers:
You probably do a lot of writing; letters, reports, emails, texts.

Interview with Robert Glover, author of the book No More Mr Nice Guy
Mike Carruthers:
There are a lot more nice guys around today than ever before.

Future of Nursing Initiative
STEPHANIE SMITH, 42, ARRIVES at the ED complaining of severe abdominal pain. Alert and oriented, she tells you that the pain started about 18 hours ago and that she feels nauseated and has vomited four times. You take her vital signs: BP, 92/60 mm Hg; heart rate, 132; respirations, 24; oral temperature, 100.2[degrees] F (37.9[degrees] C); and SpO2, 94% on room air. She rates her pain as an 8 on a pain intensity rating scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).
On physical assessment, she has dry mucous membranes and bowel sounds are diminished throughout. Her abdomen is tender with muscular guarding, especially in the right upper quadrant and epigastric regions.
You attach Ms. Smith to a cardiac monitor, which shows sinus tachycardia, and administer supplemental oxygen at 2 L/minute via nasal cannula. After establishing I.V. access and notifying the ED physician, you start an infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride solution run wide open and send blood specimens for a complete blood cell count, electrolytes, liver function studies, coagulation studies, and amylase and lipase levels.
Ms. Smith has had several episodes of cholelithiasis in the past 2 years, but hasn't had a cholecystectomy. She says this episode is a little different-the pain is now epigastric in addition to affecting the right upper quadrant as in the past. She has no other significant medical history, takes no medications, doesn't smoke, and denies substance abuse. She drinks two to three alcoholic beverages per month.
The ED physician examines Ms. Smith and orders a right upper quadrant ultrasound and an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan with intravascular contrast.
Ms. Smith's history of cholelithiasis and clinical condition lead you to suspect gallstone pancreatitis.
About 40% of cases of acute pancreatitis are caused by biliary tract disease, most commonly by choledocholithiasis. Although the exact mechanism of pancreatitis isn't known, researchers think that inappropriate activation of proteases triggers autodigestion of the pancreas. When the biliary tract is obstructed by gallstones, pancreatic duct obstruction or biliary reflux appears to activate pancreatic enzymes. In severe pancreatitis, third-space fluid shifts can lead to hypovolemic shock, acute lung injury, and acute tubular necrosis.
Ms. Smith's ultrasound shows gallstones but no choledocholithiasis or dilated common bile duct. The CT scan shows diffuse pancreatic enlargement. Her lab results are within normal limits except for an elevated white blood cell (WBC) count (14,000/mm3 compared with a normal range of 4,500 to 10,500/mm3), amylase of 500 units/L (normal range is 25 to 125 units/L), and lipase of 560 units/L (normal range is 10 to 140 units/L).
Your first priority is to support Ms. Smith's BP. Continue to give fluid boluses as ordered, and strictly monitor intake and output, watching for signs and symptoms of acute renal failure. Also monitor for respiratory compromise. Administer I.V. hydromorphone as prescribed and monitor her pain levels to determine response to treatment. Ms. Smith is admitted to the telemetry unit for close observation. Because of the possibility of choledocholithiasis, she may need endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
Ms. Smith's electrolytes, WBCs, amylase, and lipase will be closely monitored. An increase in the number of WBCs might indicate the inflammation associated with pancreatitis or pancreatic infection, a severe complication of pancreatitis. Ms. Smith is also kept N.P.O. for several days to rest the pancreas, and then may resume a high-carbohydrate and low-fat diet. If her pancreatic enzyme levels remain elevated or her pain persists, she may need enteral feeding through a nasojejunal tube.
Before discharge, teach Ms. Smith about a low-fat and low-calcium diet, and make an appointment for her to consult with surgeons about a cholecystectomy. Ms. Smith is discharged home after 5 days and will undergo a cholecystectomy later.
