Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Carole Ann Kenner, PhD, RN, FAAN (The College of New Jersey)
Description: This book presents the clinical application of nursing diagnosis to care across the lifespan, covering from hospital to home care. The previous edition was published in 1997.
Purpose: The purpose is to focus the nursing diagnosis and interventions on nursing problems and not the medical model. The target audience is students and practicing nurses.
Audience: The target audience are students and practicing nurses. The author is a known expert in the application of the nursing process.
Features: The book presents NANDA nursing diagnosis within the context of Gordon's Functional Patterns. Its focus is on the nursing diagnosis and interventions for which nurses have control. Unique to the book is its use of a conceptual approach to this application. It takes each functional pattern and applies the nursing process, identifies nursing diagnosis, and asks readers whether they picked the correct diagnosis, giving hints for how to make that determination. Another unique feature is the boxed information that offers material applicable to adults, women's health, children, psychiatric, gerontologic, and home care areas. This way readers can easily find the section most applicable to their client population or setting. The algorimths help guide the reader through the decision-making process.
Assessment: There is no direct competition for this book as it really does focus on the nursing diagnosis as it relates to interventions nurses can control. The conceptual approach is unique as well.

I just posted the new blog of the week but it's one you may not expect: Rachel Ashwell! Yes, she now authors a blog and I'm so glad that she does because it is simply lovely. Care to take a peek?
You may know Rachel from her brand Shabby Chic based in southern California. I had the honor of meeting Rachel in 2005 and she is a great lady, very humble, charming, and she has a warm and sweet spirit. Here are some images from her blog that I fell in love with this morning… The perfect way to begin the week for me.
I love this photo. The floors, the room, a faded rug, the pretty vent cover on the wall, the chandelier, the table… Okay everything. But what I love most is a raw space like this. So many options. This makes my heart swell…
This dining room is so pretty, but a bit ornate for my taste. I'd remove the wall sconces and that large ornate mirror, but the chandelier would stay though I'd hang it a bit lower. I'd also paint the ceiling pale blue. I'd have to add flowers to the table and of course my Turkish teapot… But I still really like this room! The lighting is just great, makes me long to live in southern California or someplace where the lighting is always perfect. :)
These are photos of some of the Shabby Chic retail stores, I've only been to two: the flagship store in Santa Monica, CA (my favorite) and her new shop in Natick, MA just outside of Boston. They are absolutely transporting, you should try to visit one sometime.
Here are some clippings of vintage wallpaper that Rachel is currently drawing her inspiration from. Most of us find bits and bobbins from the past, connect to them, and translate what we see into something modern with a twist – our personal style – making them fresh and new again. You don't always have to reinvent the wheel!
I had the opportunity to interview Rachel for decor8, you can read our chat here if you'd like. Browsing her blog this morning, I noticed the web-famous Keep Calm and Carry On posters in her shop (wow!) and I spotted some more good things in her newly designed web shop, would you like to see them?
Candles from Voluspa that smell like a little piece of heaven, stamped leather card holders (my favorite find), a crown doormat so everyone knows you are the queen of your castle, and a gorgeous union jack wall hanging in fabrics from Shabby Chic.
Very feminine throw pillows. (not shown but worth a click: Milly curtains)
A delicious gold bordered calendar. This is super pretty!
Psst: You can purchase these things so matter where you live because Shabby Chic ships worldwide!
Welcome to blogland Rachel and everyone else please go see what Rachel is up to, I'm sure you'll find some of her inspirations most interesting and of course, beautiful!
(images from shabby chic)
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands! {clap clap} Yay, It's Friday! It's Friday! La la la la la! Twirl around and sing with me… Yes I'm nuts but I'm completely happy imagining two full days without an ounce of work to do and lots of fun plans. I will paint some more mini paintings this weekend, hit the flea market in the morning, attend a big dinner party tomorrow night, and on Sunday I'll spend time with a friend watching movies and sharing a meal here in my apartment. I'm so excited for the weekend to start.
Next week on decor8 I will host a contest where you can win an amazing book all about creativity, launching a successful career as a creative, working on the left brain as you continue to develop the right…. wow I could go on forever about this newly released book but I'm not going to say another word until Monday morning, November 24th. Then the contest will be posted and 5 winners will be selected and announced on Thursday so make sure you visit on Monday to see what the contest thing-y is all about. You'll like it, I promise.
What do you plan to do this weekend? Write your list here and return on Monday to report in on your progress if you'd like. I'll do the same. Keeps us accountable I think. See you in a few days!
(image from She Hit Pause Studios… because hey — some days you just need to lounge around in your panties playing with airplanes on your sofa. Um, yeah.)
Before you head off for the weekend, click on over to Home Base Collections to view Leanne Culy's gorgeous range of textiles for the home from table runners & napkins to lamp shades, and cushions in three sizes. She has greeting cards and her fabric looks so good as upholstery too. Have you heard of this NZ home grown business launched by artist Leanne?
Leanne Culy spent most of her life as a stylist in the film industry and in graphic design. She currently works out of her studio creating artwork on vintage oars (you can see one of these oars in the photo below) and to Home Base Collections designing the gorgeous textiles and greeting cards that you see here. These patterns of flax, lace, teapots, the tiki, shells, etc. are very "New Zealand" and the colorways mimic her surroundings perfectly. They are also eco-friendly. Bonus!
Home Base Collections is new to America so there is only one store that stocks them and it's in California at Botany Desire Boutique Apothecary & Spa in Ridgecrest. Please contact them directly for pricing and ordering information.
Interested in renting a beach house? This beauty is a private home directly on Haumoana Beach, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, and styled by Leanne Culy. It has a very distinct kiwi beach vibe… feast your eyes. Love this kitchen, so much.
I'm sitting here laughing as I wrap up this post…a beach house of all things to blog about today right after a post about doilies and winter decorating. It is currently snowing kittens and puppies as I look out of my window. I smell wood stoves a-burnin'. Tomorrow morning I'm going to a flea market in all of this snow to hunt vintage German textiles. I'm about as far away from warm summers at the beach as I can possibly be and yet I'm still inspired and completely smitten by this beach-y sunny collection and find these patterns completely stunning. Go figure. :) Inspiration is a funny thing, you know?
(photography: Brian Culy)
Love tea? My absolute favorite ever.

CFSpit New kid on the block
I am very pleased to find this site looks like lots of great members and information.
I am 55 father of two adult daughters who along with their Mom keep me plenty busy fixing autos, appliances, plumbing, electrical and now HVAC
I worked for Sears in their Home Services repair organization for over 20 years...never as a technician but I was surrounded by a whole bunch of great techs and was able to absorb a working knowledge of repairing things and a healthy respect for the people who know how to do it.
I have diagnosed R&Red furnace ignitors and flame sensors on my own furnace, now that my girls are getting homes I get to help them too.
I find it a lot easier to work on my own stuff that I am familiar with than something new (even if similar). Looking forward to tapping into all the expertise that is here.

Frugal tips, freezer meals: Stretch that roast
Being frugal is just a part of life for our family and I know it is for many others. Sometimes I have to keep myself in check about the whole idea of hanging onto stuff to reuse – especially cute glass jars with lids that just scream "keep me and fix me up and I'll be cute and you'll put cool stuff in me"! However, I have found a good excuse to keep my ice cream buckets.
When you find a good deal on a roast make it go farther by dividing it into (#1) two halves to freeze for a future crock pot meal. But don't just throw it in a bag and into the freezer, marinade it. That's what I did. I had bought bottles of various sauces and you will see what I used (#2). In at least one of those marinades I threw in some pineapple I had as well.
I put each roast and marinade into separate Ziplock bags and then put all four roasts into an empty plastic ice cream bucket (#3). I love that those ice cream buckets are so reusable! They are very handy. I've used them to carry Legos in for my son and to store freshly made chocolate chip pancakes in the fridge.
(#4) I placed a piece of wax paper between bags of meat to keep them from freezing together. I got all 4 bags of meat into the ice cream bucket (#5) and put the whole thing into the freezer.
And now you have a new excuse to go buy big buckets of ice cream!

WOW! Love these tips! Thanks for linking up to The Mommy Club this week. 'm featuring you at 5pm on my Facebook page! Have a great week!
I like being frugal too. However I had to laugh at your suggestion to divide a roast up for later use. Please don't be offended. It is an EXCELLENT idea! I have to laugh or I would cry. See in our household, which just decreased from 10, to 9 to 7 this month, we still have to pull out the second crock pot and fill it in order to just have enough food for one meal (and hopefully enough leftovers for work lunches).
I look forward to exploring your blog more to see what I can glean as a homeschooling mom. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

The system DOES actually work
Comments (10)
Yes, its a great help if you use it when you need it instead of having more kids to maintain it.
Yes, it is a Godsend. I'm a hardworking (since 15!) college educated person who got caught in a bad spot in the economy in an area where there are 3 times as many people as there are decent jobs. Even with health ins I could afford, it wouldn't cover maternity visits, so I am VERY thankful. Its just terribly unfortunate like a PP mentioned the people who abuse the system and ruin it for people like us who really need and depend on it. Hopefully your hubby gets a good job soon!

We got pregnant with our second right before DH lost his job, it was a real life saver to have the help. I felt horrible using it, but DH had worked for 15 years at that point, and I had logged about 5, so I felt like we were just getting back what we had paid in.

Amazon's new A9 blends information and commerce into one seamless package.
So Amazon.com finally launched its super-secret A9 search engine.
So what?
OK. Maybe that's flippant, but many people are asking why. Why would Amazon go into the search biz? And why would Google lend its results to a brand with as much (if not more) clout than it has, and with it the potential to suck users away from its main site?
A9 does serve up Google AdWords, so Google's obviously generating some revenue from the venture. But if people start thinking "A9" or "Amazon" when they think of search, isn't Google potentially losing market share?
Maybe. But that doesn't matter. Let's look at what A9 does.
First, A9 combines Google search with Amazon's "Search Inside the Book" technology to provide a dual-information search. Users can find information on the Web and in books. A9 taps into the growing realm of research on how people search. It includes searcher-friendly features, such as search history, clicked-link history (including how long ago a link was clicked), and pop-up site info, accessible without visiting the site itself.
Best of all, users can download a nifty search toolbar that includes a diary feature for annotating Web sites. It can be accessed from any PC. Visions of Third Voice? Rest assured, the diary function is only accessible with Amazon login.
All this is nifty, but doesn't reveal A9's real potential. A9's edge is its integration with Amazon, and what that sort of integration may mean to the search industry and the Web as a whole.
Amazon's genius has always been rooted in search. With its millions of products, Amazon can't work unless customers find what they want and (more important) products they never knew they wanted. If Amazon were just about selling things people looked for, it could look like Google.
It doesn't.
Searching on the Web is about searching for information. Paid placement (and tacit consumer acceptance of it) is popular because people don't always know what they're looking for. Paid placements are, at their core, ads. They're also considered a service by many consumers.
If you search for "earphones for airplanes" and don't realize what you really want are "active noise canceling earphones" or "sound isolating earphones" (because you just want to listen to music without jet roar in your ear), a paid listing for a site selling those types of headphones isn't just an ad, it helps your search. Sponsored links are prefiltered information that assists in product purchase.
People use the Web to find information, whether for business, entertainment, or personal use. Searching for products on an e-commerce site entails searching a predefined subset of information, prefiltered around a specific product set. But it's still search.
We go online to find things. Amazon's earlier decision to provide access to Web search alongside its integrated product search was a major recognition of that fact. Unlike those goofy "search the Web" boxes some sites use that take you off the site, A9 combines search in the digital (Web) world with search in the analog (book) world. Because A9's Amazon searches can take you, literally, "inside the book," the search becomes a much more valuable a tool than simply searching the Web would have been.
Perhaps A9 is the beginning of deep Web integration with algorithmic Web search in a way that recognizes how people search.
It may also be Google's attempt to rule information access in the same way Microsoft dominates the desktop -- a thought not lost on Microsoft.
Regardless of A9's success, the new search engine probably represents the future of information access. It blends information and commerce into one seamless package. Moving beyond AdWords and in effect making the entire site a useful "adplication" (an app providing advertising benefits), A9 is one to watch... and potentially to copy.

by James Slater - Now that it's clear his efforts at landing a mega-fight with reigning pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao have led to nought (for now at least), WBA welterweight ruler and future Hall of Famer "Sugar" Shane Mosley is looking like facing his WBC counterpart in a currently star studded 147-pound division, Andre Berto.
Not having fought since his sensational stoppage of the teak-tough Antonio Margarito back in January (a win some have said is the best and most ruthless performance of "Sugar's" entire welterweight career), Mosley needs to get a fight on quickly if he's to avoid going off the boil. And though a fight with the Filipino superstar would have been great for all concerned, the paying fans especially, a Mosley-Berto partial unification of the welterweight titles isn't too bad at all as a plan-B..
According to Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, in talking to Ring magazine's web site, the fight is being worked on right now, with HBO interested in showing the contest.
"We'll be crunching the numbers and presenting them to Shane in the coming days," Schaefer told Ring on line. "Shane is the type of fighter who wants to meet the biggest fighters out there. That's what really gets him motivated, the mega-event. That's what he lives for. I'm not saying Berto isn't a big event; it absolutely is. It's a title-unification fight. We just want to make the right decision, to make sure the money is right."
So far, no working date or venue has been put out, but Las Vegas and Los Angeles look favourites to play host to the interesting fight.
Berto, much younger than Mosley at age 25 (26 in September) to "Sugar's" 37 (38 in September - the two men actually share the same birthday of Sept. 7th), is also unbeaten at 25-0(19). However, this aside, Mosley will surely be the favourite to win in the eyes of most. Berto, who has good wins to his name over guys like Luis Collazo and Juan Urango, has never faced anyone remotely like the gifted Mosley.
A good boxer with excellent speed, the WBC boss will, for the first time, be in with a fighter who is faster than him AND who can hit harder than him. So how can Berto possibly win? It is possible Mosley, who struggled with Ricardo Mayorga up at 154-pounds before going on to smash "The Tijuana Tornado" back down at 147, could begin to age at any given time; why not against Berto?
Hugely ambitious and almost certainly relishing the idea of being tested to the limit by as formidable a Mosley as possible, Berto just might wind up getting lucky if his ageing rival's well does turn out to have dried some come fight night. This is the risk Mosley takes every time he fights on at the age of 38; as great as he is he cannot beat Father Time forever.
But then, Shane Mosley has always been willing to take risks. That's what makes him such a popular fighter. Mosley-Berto is definitely one to look forward to.

Crude up in Asia on China demand hopes
popular .
SINGAPORE – Oil was up in Asia Monday on trader expectations of a hike in Chinese crude demand after a key survey showed its manufacturing activity hitting a 14-month high in December, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in January rose 23 cents to $86.98 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for February delivery advanced five cents to $108.23.
"Oil prices rose… on expectations for improved demand in China after data showed the manufacturing sector in the world number two oil consumer expanded in December at its fastest pace in more than a year," Phillip Futures said in a report.
Banking giant HSBC in its preliminary purchasing managers' index (PMI) released Friday recorded China's manufacturing activity at 50.9 in December, the highest the index has reached in 14 months.
It was the second straight month that China's manufacturing has hurdled the 50-point mark indicating an expansion after 12 consecutive months of contraction.
China's economic growth hit a more than three-year low of 7.4 percent in the three months to September, but HSBC's PMI, together with a series of data released recently, has fuelled optimism of a Chinese economic rebound.

An approachable, plainspoken man, Peynaud had worked with wine from age 14, eventually earning a doctorate in the subject and becoming a professor of enology at the University of Bordeaux. He was the author of several authoritative books on the subject.

Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong has been accused by fellow American cyclist Floyd Landis of paying off the head of international cycling's governing body to cover up a positive drug test.
Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France victory after a positive drug test, alleges in a recent e-mail to a USA Cycling official that Armstrong and his team director reached a financial settlement with the International Cycling Union (UCI) to conceal a positive drug test by Armstrong.
Landis, a former U.S. Postal Service teammate of Armstrong's, also alleges in an April 30 e-mail to USA Cycling CEO Steve Johnson that he witnessed Armstrong, and U.S. Postal riders George Hincapie, and Jose Luis "Chechu" Rubiera receive banned performance boosting blood transfusions during the 2003 Tour de France. Landis said he also received blood transfusions during the race.
Landis in the e-mail also details how Johan Bruyneel, Armstrong's longtime team director, allegedly instructed him how to use banned testosterone patches in 2002 and later human growth hormone.
"There are many, many more details that I have in diaries and am in the process of writing into an intelligible story, but since the position of USA Cycling is that there have not been enough details shared to justify calling USADA, I am writing as many as I can reasonably put into an e-mail and share with you so as to ascertain what is the process which USA Cycling uses to proceed with such allegations," Landis writes in the e-mail to Johnson.
Armstrong wasted little time in responding to Landis' charges.
"If you said, 'Give me one word to sum this all up,'credibility," Armstrong, with Bruyneel standing next to him, told reporters in Visalia before Thursday's Tour of California stage to Bakersfield.
"Floyd lost his credibility a long time ago."
"I have nothing to hide," Armstrong, continued. "I think history speaks for itself here. We have nothing to hide. We have nothing to run from."
Armstrong crashed Thursday during the Tour of California near Visalia, sending him to the hospital for precautionary X-rays. Radio Shack Team spokesman Philippe Maertens says Armstrong got stitches in his left elbow and under his left eye. Armstrong resumed riding, but Maertens says Armstrong withdrew from the race because his left eye had swollen shut.
Armstrong is one of the most drug tested athletes in history and no governing body has ever publicly charged him with testing positive for banned substances. A 2005 investigation by L'Equipe, the French daily sports newspaper, reported that a retesting of Armstrong's urine samples from the 1999 Tour de France tested positive for EPO. Armstrong denied the report and was not sanctioned. The UCI began testing for EPO in 2001.
Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title after testing positive for testosterone during the race. He repeatedly denied under oath using performance enhancing drugs in U.S. Anti-Doping hearings on the case. Landis also denied using banned substances in his book "Positively False."
"I'd say I am a little surprised but I am not," Armstrong said Thursday. Armstrong said that Landis had threatened to go public with his charges "for a long time."
Landis said in the e-mail to USA Cycling's Johnson that Armstrong tested positive for the banned blood booster erythropoietin (EPO) during the Tour of Switzerland shortly before the Tour de France after ignoring warnings Dr. Michele Ferrari, Armstrong's controversial Italian advisor, that a test had been developed to detect the drug.
Landis said Armstrong and Bruyneel met with Hein Verbruggen, president of the UCI, and the positive test was covered up.
