Thank you to everyone who sent me links in regards to the Stella dress. They were beyond helpful! After some more research the one I liked the most was the dress below from Japanese brand Haricot Rouge, but still I can't figure out how to buy it. More links! More links!
And then there's this Quiksilver dress at American Rag. Figure could maybe remove the waist tie thing? Close enough, and not bad for $80.
And during my search of keywords "white", "blouse", "shirt", I stumbled on the below PushButton caped shirt at Asos. Me likey.
Oh and also this image on Asos.......which makes me wants to buy whatever it is, NEVER. In fact, she looks like she's warning me NOT to buy it.
Needing this Stella McCartney dress in a bad way. If any of you see a cheaper (*ahem, much cheaper) alternative, please leave me a link and I will be most grateful.

I have a confession to make. I've had this secret indulgence for a while that I haven't wanted to share with the rest of the world (shame on me, I know), but I just can't keep it to myself any longer. This has been one of my all-time favorite sites ever - Fashematics. Enjoy.

I recently made the acquaintance of James from Children of Vision, which is a great boutique in New Zealand that has an impressive roster of international designers that are, frankly, sometimes diffucult to find here in the States - at least not in one convenient shop. Bernhard Willhelm (ahem), Complex Geometries, Daniel Palillo, Deadly Ponies, KTZ, Rad Hourani, and TV to name a few. The great thing about discovering new boutiques outside of the US is that they usually have different items/colorways than what's offered here in the US. James and I agree that's it's really refreshing to meet other people that are genuinely enthusiastic about fashion. He's super helpful so do stop by the shop if you're around NZ, or take a peek at their online shop. There are lots of new items coming in soon so check back frequently.
He's also been busy with his own line Jimmy D. Below are some of my favorite looks from the Summer 10/11 collection, entitled Power Trip. It's almost as if I personally requested each and every one of these looks to suit my preferred summer dressing - loose and drapey.
I would happily wear just these looks all summer long.

Went to the much anticipated wedding of a family friend, who is more like a brother from another mother. I usually don't get too dressed up for things but this was an extra special occasion so I felt obligated to be ladylike and put together. I'm lucky enough to have a career where I don't have to have separate work clothes, but over the years my closet has become a one note song tuned to my everyday, casual lifestyle because of it. I tried to put something together that was I guess, uh...more demure (?) but still me. After some to-ing and fro-ing with my man and a matronly up-do later, I was out the door. It went from a hot sunshiney ceremony to a candlelit reception.
I had on enough hairspray and makeup to last me the next few months. Now back to slob I go.

The weather report alleges high 70s and low 80s for the week, but all I've seen is dreary skies and a drizzly commute. Goosebumps and blue lips are not my idea of summer accessorizing. I made the mistake of trusting the 7 day forecast and went to work in shorts and a tee. Lucky for me I had spare boots in the trunk to change out of my sandals, which were providing zero protection from the wind chill factor that was numbing my toes. For once, thank god my commute is forcing me to semi live out of my car. Is this seriously summer?

Calling on all my internet savvy readers. Currently obsessing over this dress by Bernhard Willhelm and a herringbone cloak of his as well (that I can't seem to locate at the moment in the vortex that is my pictures folder). If you guys know of any obscure online sites - maybe euro or asia - not the obvious ones like farfetch etc. that carry his stuff, could you leave me a comment with the info please? I'd be much obliged. *tips hat.

It's fairly obvious by now that I love Chanel, but I have to clarify that I love Chanel when it's like the above. I don't know if I'd buy a 2.55 any time soon (not to imply that I could), but if there's a gun, or a functioning lightbulb, or a plexi cassette, or a frickin take away box involved, then get out of my way! The above left is from the new Paris-Shanghai collection and limited edition...which basically translates to IT WILL NEVER BE YOURS. Sad face...
Even though I got rid of my own pair, I'm still on the search for the lightbulb heels in black velvet and gold. I just couldn't get down with the silvery glitter of mine. Black is always better for me anyway. So if you ever see a pair, don't be greedy...let me.

I hate hats on me. My man loves hats on me. The only hats I've actually seemed to like are Acne's - this one and the Sue Ellen hat from a little while back. I hope he's not reading this, or else I'm going to find it in my room tomorrow. Er...maybe that's a good thing? The look on the right is everything a thumbs up was meant to be. It reminds me of my friend Emmelie, who could probably wear the shit out of it.

Inadvertently wore red-white-blue (sort of?) on Independence Day. Had a BBQ at a friend's club house and ate way too much junk food in really horrible order - if there is such a thing. My man came up with the bottom photo idea. Interesting things can come out of boredom. My body proportion looks really funny in the first photo, like I'm standing in one of those weird distorting mirrors. Hope everyone had a safe and relaxing weekend. I'm actually kind of glad to be back at work...but don't quote me on that.
I don't know what middle me is preaching about, but bottom left corner me is clearly unamused.

So I'm a self-learner which is always dangerous because I don't have anything to test if I am understanding things correctly, so I wanted to ask what is wrong/right with my assumptions.
When reading about this stuff this is what I implied. Unless the null is true, by increasing sample sizes you will decrease the p value. So it seems to me that the null will never be 100% accurate (i.e. If my null is that the avg weight of men is 70kg, in reality it will never be exactly 70, if it is 70.000001 in reality I would eventually detect this as significant my sample gets huge).
So if that logic is correct then as my sample size goes to infinity, unless my null is accurate to infinity or my p value is infinitely small, I will always detect a difference in a two tailed p test. This seems to take meaning away from p because now how do I know if there is a difference that matters in "real life" or if I just took too big of a sample and forced a meaningless p value??
If that is true, shouldn't we be using some kind of measure that correlates this: if I detect a small p with a small sample it is more likely to have a large difference? That way somehow we could have some idea of the actual difference and if it is actually important in real life. Is this where confidence intervals come in play? And if so how does that work and why aren't CI often reported in publications?
I'm going crazy trying to figure this out... Also, I know that a one-tailed p value is at least useful for detecting the direction of the real average, but it seems to have a similar problem. If I get a small p for the question "is the avg weight of men >70kg?". If the weight is 70.001kg and not 70kg it really doesn't matter in real life. But how could I tell if in real life it is 70.0001 or 80?

I miscarried and am pregnant again. How can I control my worries?
I miscarried my first pregnancy. I'm now 14 weeks into my second pregnancy and I'm still very nervous about something going wrong. This pregnancy is going very well -- but I still have this nagging fear in the back of my mind. What can I do to make myself feel better?

Hey ladies! Well, to add to this blog, I have had two miscarriages and I'm pregnant now-6 wks. First pregnancy m/c @ 9 wks. 2nd pregnancy full term healthy girl. 3rd m/c @ 9wks. And now the 4th... I'm just praying. That's all I can do. I've gone through blamming myself, my job, and I've thought of millions of reasons "why". Ultimately, I know it's up to God. If any of you believe in God, that's the best you can do. No doctor, midwife, or webpage can get you through this. I'm no pro @ this and I don't want to be. But it was the hardest thing EVER to have to go through. Mentally and emotionally I just feel numb. I'm scared to get attached or even think about being pregnant. I'm happy but scared. Every little thing worries me. I worry all the time. One minute my weight is up then it goes down. That makes me wonder, "oh God that happened with the last m/c." It's draining but all I can do is pray for a healthy full term baby. One of you mentioned not seeing your regular OB. Personally, after having a m/c or two, I wouldn't want to see anybody that isn't familiar with me or my history. It makes all the difference. I suggest you find a practice that does not have several different doctors. I was PUT OUT of a hospital and asked by the doctor not to come back because she thought that I wanted "special attention". What I wanted was everything she was charging my insurance for-quality healthcare. Nothing is worse that going in for a visit when you are pregnant after a m/c and you are spotting and just plain nervous and the doctor you have is Dr. Butthole! Point is ladies...find a doctor that will listen to you and care about your thoughts and feelings. If you're in Maryland check out Dr. Kimberly Turner. She's the best! She'll make no promises but she'll be in it to win it right along with you. I travel an hour just to see her for OB visits. When I lost my baby @ 9weeks (the second m/c-(had a different one during the first) it was like her whole staff lost a baby too. That support was awesome! Without it, I may have been in a straight jacket! But anywho... let's pray for each other! Baby Blessings to all of us!posted 05/14/2007 by DHenson1908
I would like to reassure a few of you. I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy. I was about 6 weeks along and it was very difficult. Well, I miscarried in November and got pregnant again the same month. My first trimester was also very difficult. I had lots of cramping and bleeding. But, everything was o.k. because I am now 26 weeks pregnant and doing GREAT. So, (1) you can have a successful pregnancy after a miscarrage and (2) you can get pregnant very soon after a miscarriage.posted 05/14/2007 by jacob's_mommy07
Please don't give up hope! I had 3 miscarriages in a row at 5 weeks, 11 weeks and then at 12 weeks. I am now 29 weeks pregnant and expecting a baby boy. The difference this time was a lot of prayer and careful monitoring by the doctors. I began having weekly ultrasounds at 4 weeks. Also, I took progesterone supplements until about 13 weeks. Good luck!posted 05/14/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
i have been pregnant six times and out of those six i have had five miscarraiges but i continue to try. My fifth pregnancy i successfully delivered a set of twins but we want to have two more children and we are willing to try again. just have faith in yourself. You can do it.posted 05/14/2007 by Baileygirlwilliam
I'm so sorry for everyone's loss... M/C is so awful to go through:( I never thought my husband and I would have any kids because he had been told he couldn't. So when I went off birthcontrol I really didn't think anything was going to happen. I got pregnant about 8 months after and was soooooo excited! I knew in the back of my mind that M/C was a possibility because it happens quite a bit after all but nothing could have prepared me for losing my babe when I was 8 weeks pregnant. I was so upset and devestated. Felt like this might have been my one in a million shot of having a baby... I waited to get my period but never went back on birthcontrole, got pregnant 4 months later. Was so excited again but told myself not to get my hopes up. I kept setting goals for myself. If I make it to the first dr.'s appointment then I'll feel better, if I make it til 12 weeks then I'll feel better, if I hear the heartbeat for the first time then I'll feel better, once i've had an ultrasound then I'll feel better... I didn't feel better until I was about 20 weeks along and then it started to sink in that I might really have this baby! I'm at 33 weeks now and i'm not worried anymore. I wish I would have enjoyed my pregnancy a bit more in the beginning but it was hard with worrying so much. M/C happens all the time and most of the time it's just because it wasn't meant to be. Nature's way of taking care of things. All I can say to you girls is to just try and relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Don't give up!posted 05/14/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Hello, I had lost my baby girl Heaven Blessings on Nov 1 2006. Iwas 23 weeks and was in the hospital for about two weeks trying to keep her in there a little while longer so that doctors could intervene... It was one of the most stressful moments in my life... I started diolated and then water broke. I just took a pregnancy test on mothers day and I am pregnant... I am having mixed feelings because I actually delivered her and held her until she stopped breathing so the thoughts of going thru similar pregancy scares me. I know God has his ways of working things out and god doesnt place on us what we cant handle... so I will have faith and do my part in being healthy and pray that all goes well. I dont know how far I am nor have I been to doctors but all I can say ladies Everything happens for reasons...and I believe miscarriages are because something is wrong with pregnancies....posted 05/14/2007 by takeyagray
to every thing there is a season and purpose and control of emotions are not optional we feel the way we feel based on previuos experiences beyond our control the best thing to do in these situations is to remember these words everything has purpose I am a mother of two beautiful boys and expecting a third in sept. I have had a total of 7 pregnancies some of wich I was anervous wreck not knowing the outcome because of my win 1 lose1 win another folowed by two losses then another and then the most heartbreaking of them all a stillborn now I began this pregnancy a bit nervous at first but then I remember my father words that some things were meant to be so just let them be, worry is a wasted emotion and doesn't change anything,relax have faith stay positive and remember above all else pray there really lies strenght in prayer to bring you through that's my advice because it worked for meposted 05/14/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a miscarriage 2+ years ago. We tried to get pregnant from that day on. I am now 5 months pregnant and everything is going wonderful. I am proof that you should never give up.

This is my first pregnancy, I am about 5 weeks along and just found out. I am hypersensitive to every ache and pain in the lower abdomen/back. Is it normal to have any kind of 'twinges' as I call them as your body is adjusting? I call them twinges because they aren't really full fledged cramps like when you have your period, but just little twinges. I want to be excited but I know at least 10 close friends/family that have miscarried for no explainable reason. We have also had a very hard time getting pregnant in the first place. Any advice from those of you that have gone through this would be greatposted 05/14/2007 by orionangel75
I miscarried my first pregnancy at 6 to 7 weeks (they weren't for sure). I didn't require a d&c thank goodness. they just told me to wait for 3 months before trying again to make sure things were going the way they should. I got pregnant again after 3 months of waiting and had no problems. I'm on preg #2 now, due in june and have had few problem. good luck and I hope things work out :)posted 05/14/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

It is 2014 and we are celebrating the Year of the Horse along with the Far East and the international community of horse lovers. At the Kentucky Horse Park, the Year of the Horse is being observed, beginning on Jan. 22 and continuing through April 18, by Lexington's Wellington Elementary School and the International Museum of the Horse with a special exhibit. The schools third, fourth and fifth grade students are displaying the honored tradition of Shodo [The Art of Japanese Brush Painting] which features calligraphy.
Using rice paper, each student is painting the character for the word uma, meaning horse. Each uses black Japanese sumi [ink] and fude [bamboo brushes] for painting the word uma. They use the same procedure to paint their names.
Calligraphy has always been lauded as high art in the Orient and each character is given its specific stroke order and ink weight.
In 1912 China adopted the Gregorian calendar but up until then and continuing to the present, it had used the lunar calendar. The Chinese calendar is cyclical, using 12 cycles, each one year long. This cycle begins on the second new moon after winter solstice. In this way, each single year of the 12-year-cycle calendar is represented by an animal, and this animal's characteristics correspond with the mood of the year and those born during that year.
People born during the Year of the Horse –in 2014 and each 12th year before – are generally thought of as fun with a sense of humor, audacious, full of adventure and carefree.
The calligraphy exhibit by the students of Wellington Elementary School will remain on display in the International Museum of the Horse until April 18.
Information is available on the Kentucky Horse Park site. www.kyhorsepark.com.

We are just dying in anticipation for "The Walking Dead" Season 5 to debut. So the thought of the series ending is close to unbearable! Sure it has to end sometime, but that time better be far, far away. Unfortunately, Wet Paint didn't bring the most pleasant news on Tuesday. According to the source, Robert Kirkman says they would be lucky to make it to Season 7.
Comicbook.com got the full scoop, and the source reports that in the fan letters column of "The Walking Dead" comic books (Issue 126 specifically), Kirkman responded to a fan about upcoming seasons. The "fan" asked about production ending the show by Season 7 or Season 8, and to stop "milking" the series. Kirkman replied with, "Just because something goes a long time doesn't mean it's being milked. We'll be lucky to make it to Season 7, but if we go beyond that it'll be because we have a story to tell."
Wet Paint reminds us that Robert Kirkman initially said that he wants the comic book to outlast the TV show. This gives us a little bit of hope, that when the TV series does end we will at least count on the comic books for a bit longer.
How long do you hope "The Walking Dead" lasts on AMC? I think it all comes down to the story. I would want the series to have an amazing season and ending, rather than it dragging on forever with a weak plot.
Let's not think about that for now though! "The Walking Dead" Season 5 starts sometime this coming October. Filming for the new season began yesterday! The filming location and Terminus set was said to have been packed with guards, extras, and a lot of noise! We can't wait for spoilers and images to leak.

"I've been doing a lot of shows lately, but it's been cool, nothing really crazy happened... yet."
- Shareefa
New Jersey native Shareefa Cooper is riding high thanks to the startling success of her debut album, Point Of No Return. "From the first time I stepped into the studio, it was my goal to try and make classic material," she says.
Nonetheless, this singer knows exactly what she wants in a man. "[I'm looking for] a go-getter," she says. "Someone who has my back, no matter what, and loves me for me." That's especially evident on her song "Need A Boss," in which she addresses her affinity for rough and rugged men. "I need somebody that's real gangsta," she sings. "I need a pappy, somebody I call daddy."
Shareefa has also appeared on the compilation CD Ludacris Presents… Disturbing Tha Peace and Shawnna's 2006 chart-topper, Block Music.
Shareefa BiographyShareefa Cooper was born on January 1, 1984, in East Orange, New Jersey. A true music fan from an early age, she recalls idolizing the industry's R&B pioneers. "I can remember taping the tributes to Smokey Robinson and Gladys Knight that were on the Soul Train Awards," she says. "I would be rewinding them all the time, practicing those routines until I knew them by heart. In the same way Patti LaBelle could make the hair stand up on my arms with her voice, I wanted to be able to do the same thing."
Although Shareefa may now be carrying LaBelle's torch, it took her a while to get her own life sorted out. The trouble began when Shareefa moved with her mother and two siblings to Charlotte, North Carolina, when she was 15. "I just started acting out and being disobedient," she says. Her need for attention eventually led her to court, where she was nearly sent away for grand theft auto. Luckily, the experience provided her with a much-needed wakeup call and she began straightening herself out.
shareefa signs with disturbing tha peaceShe also found a more productive outlet for her energy the next year when she was introduced to famed hip-hop producer Teddy Riley. "At the time, Teddy was putting together a girl group, but he decided work with me as a soloist instead," she says.
Although their collaboration failed to result in a record deal, Riley helped shape Shareefa into the polished singer and songwriter she is today. He also taught her the intricacies of the business and, before long, her 12-song demo landed in the hands of Jeff Dixon, the co-CEO of Disturbing Tha Peace Records, the label founded by Ludacris. "Jeff liked what he heard, but he still had me audition for him," Shareefa says. "Right on the sidewalk on 114th Street in Harlem, and I sang on the spot."
The audition turned out to be a formality and Shareefa was signed to Disturbing Tha Peace later that day. Since joining the family, she has appeared on 2005's Ludacris Presents… Disturbing Tha Peace and she was featured on Shawnna's sizzling 2006 release Block Music.
shareefa releases point of no returnOf course, all of that was just a warm up for her own debut album, Point Of No Return. Released on October 24, 2006, the 15-track album debuted at No. 25 on the Billboard 200, thanks to red-hot singles like "Need A Boss" (featuring Ludacris) and "Cry No More." "It's like a bowl of your favorite gumbo," Shareefa says of her debut. "It's raw, it's uncut, it's straightforward."
What else do you need to know?

Today I noticed a question on a nursing forum asking how nurses feel about organ transplantation. The questioner wants to know if nurses would be donors and would they donate organs of family members if the decision fell to them.
For me, that is an easy question to answer. There is a young woman in my small town who received a heart transplant as an infant, due to hypoplastic heart syndrome. It has been a joy to watch her progress through the years. She was a darling child with a cloud of blonde curls whose mother dressed her to the nines—she always looked like a little doll. As she grew up she showed a talent for athletics and participated in national sports events specifically for transplant recipients. She is now attending college out of state and thriving.
One of the smartest, kindest and most mannerly men I know is alive today thanks to a heart transplant he had several years ago. He and his wife make annual trips abroad to visit their daughter's family and revel in the fact that he can participate in all sorts of activities with their grandchildren. Not only is he alive but also extraordinarily full of pep.
Another dear friend is no longer tethered to a dialysis machine three days a week because a family agreed to donate the organs of their son following his death in an accident.
Yet another friend just received his second liver transplant. The first one was successful and performed well for several years before the need for the second transplant presented itself. Life is, once again, back to normal.
When I see these results and count the years of productive living the transplants have collectively added to the lives of my friends, how could I not be an organ donor? My driver's license designates me as a donor. The same is true for my husband and daughter.
I have a neighbor who graduated from nursing school a year ago and works in an emergency department in a neighboring town. Last week, while walking past her house, I noticed an interesting bumper sticker on her car. It read, "Don't take your organs to heaven. Heaven knows we need them here." That says it very well, don't you think?
So, nurses, how do you feel about donating your organs? Will you? If not, why not?

Question for Nurses: Will You be an Organ Donor?
Today I noticed a question on a nursing forum asking how nurses feel about organ transplantation. The questioner wants to know if nurses would be donors and would they donate organs of family members if the decision fell to them.

Organ Donation Awareness is the single biggest step needed to increase donations. The reason for this is that most people do not understand the amount of GOOD they can do through donating upon death their body. My friend has created a line of toys (back in 2006/2007) called ORGAN DONORS and they are directly related to raising awareness (and money) for organ donation charities such as Donate for Life and Gift of Life Michigan. Please check out these cute little organ dolls.
best, Samantha,

An online casino right here in the U.S. that offers real slots, roulette, blackjack, and poker?
That would be Betfair Casino.
Betfair Casino is based in New Jersey and is a partner with Trump Plaza Associates LLC, who is a New Jersey Internet Gambling permit holder. Those who are 21 or older and physically present in the state of New Jersey can play a slew of casino games online from a computer or through an app on their mobile devices.
Betfair offers both an Android and iOS real money casino app that can be downloaded.
It was only a matter of time before gaming apps hit the market
Smartphone penetration happened to be higher in the U.S. than most other territories that offer gambling products online (60% of mobile subscribers are using smartphone according to Nielson, June 2013). This lends itself well to a mobile-first strategy for online casinos in New Jersey.
"We have noticed the share of our customers using mobile rising substantially – nearing 20% now," says Anton Dobrosevic, Head of CRM for Betfair.
The Betfair Casino mobile apps offer everything when it comes to gaming, including: full sign-up, deposit and withdrawal of funds, as well as an assortment of slots and table games.
In order to play, you have to be in New Jersey, and this is strictly monitored.
"It's strict enforcement has meant that a number of New Jersey residents have not yet been able to play due to them being near state borders, says Dobrosevic. "However mobile app users can be pin-pointed more accurately and this has given those players access to the online casino rooms."
Online gaming through an app may be the next frontier.

I want to know what the pros and cons are with my pain dr putting me on two types of morphine?
long acting for all the time and short acting for breakthrough .
even though I have been on the long acting and had no problems since I have been on the immediate realease I have been having mental issues .
I have had crying jags , I get angry over the tinyest things and not just irritated but full out raged anger . I also have been having thoughts that are very scary to me . should I contact my dr about this ? I thought that it would even out but it doesn't seem to be at all and it is scary .
As for the pain control it is not working at all .
my dr had me on hydrocodone for breakthough and that was working but then his colleague decided to switch it to this and now I am disappointed and upset and am really wondering how to deal with this ? Give me some advice please .

When did they change things? Sometimes just the Change will send us into Depression....But, if what you were taking worked, why the change? I can understand the Long acting and short acting...I take Methadone 120 mg. along with Oxycodone 30 mg. up to 5 times a day for BT....But as of April 7 that will change to either Opana ER or Exalgo for long acting......Were you having the crying fits at all before? Maybe you never got as upset because the pain was under control....and now that its not under control you are noticing the Depressi8on more.....I don't know.....but I hope and pray it gets better.....don't let it get you down...

It could just be changing meds that is causing this or it could be the meds. I would talk with your doctor. you could be experienceing withdrawals from the hydrocodone. Just because they gave you a different pain med your body could still be craving the old pain med.
I was on hydrocodone as needed for sometime and my pain specialist changed my meds to hydromorphone as needed. The reason he gave me for this was he wanted to get me away from the tylonel and the affects it was having on my liver.
I have so many health problems and so many doctors that sometimes it's hard for them to agree on what is the best meds because they all have side effects that aggravate my other health problems.
The best advice I can give is to talk with your doctor. I know when I was on ms-contin I felt like I was going crazy but was afraid to stop it because if my pain was that bad while I was on it how much worse would it be if I stopped it. I did finially stop taking it and it took a couple of months to get it out of my system and the first month was horrible but that was due to withdrawals.
For me I find it better only to take pain meds when the pain is at the point where I think about going to ER. Taking pain meds on a regular schedule only made me a basket case.
I hope you have better luck.
Hugs & Prayers,

It is very common to be on two types of the same medication, actually.
However, if what you are on is NOT helping your pain...you need to speak up and tell your doc. Please don't think he did that just to mess with you, though. I have never seen a doc do that, when adjusting meds. How long were you on the hydrocodone? Because of the tylenol content of the hydrocodone, I know many docs who don't like patients being on that long-term.
The best way to treat pain med wise is usually to start with an extended release medication for constant, around the clock pain control. And then, add in an instant release, or rapid acting medication for use PRN (as needed ) for breakthrough pain (pain that breaks through despite the extended release med). I hope that makes sense.
MSIR is a lot stronger than hydrocodone. I don't think the issue is that it's not as strong...but it may be it just doesn't work for you. Everyone reacts to medications differently. Could you call your doc and ask him about it? If there wasn't a reason to take you off the hydrocodone (like i said, some docs fear liver damage with long term use, due to the tylenol content of hydrocodone), then maybe they will change it back. I don't know a doc I work with that would have a problem going down the scale in meds, in which case this would be. In many states you are able to call in hydrocodone over the phone as well, so it might save you a trip back to the doctors if you call.
Please call and tell your doctor you're not getting good pain relief with this. I assure you the colleague most likely didn't do this just to mess with things, but to help your pain. I am really sorry you're so anxious after having this happen. I understand, believe me. I've been there myself. I hope you can get some relief soon and get in touch with your doc to straighten this out. Let us know how things go.
I wish I could type more but my fingers hurt so much right now I can't. I'm crying even as I type this from the pain. If I can help in any way, please let me know. I would def try contacting your doc ASAP in the morning to discuss this. ((((hugs))))

hi, i'm on the same thing as you. 2 types of morphine. i changed to this schedule from hydrocodone 10mg. x 2 every four hours (i was out of my mind every two hours from pain.)
i am so sorry that you are not reacting well. you should call the doctor or pharmacy immediately. i don't think the side effects you are having should go unchecked.
as far as personal speculation goes, i find morphine to be far less euphoric than hydrocodone, which i really like about it. is it possible that you were more euphorically stimulated by hydrocodone and are now having the blues or psychological withdrawal?

hi how are you ?
my doctor has put me on 2 different medications, as one helps with the break through pain and one works slowly, helping the pain during the day.
it's good that he has put you on 2 different medications.
a lot of people who are in pain can take several medications to help with pain, i take 6 different pain medications to help me through the day.

I would let your doctors know your symptoms they are not normal and it is not the quality of life you want. I would ask why they have it the way they do. Are you on any other meds like steroids I know when my doctors put me on those metro pack I acted the same way you are and I had the same effect when I was getting ESI shots even tho they said it was not the same type of steroids they still effected me bad.

the whole idea of the long lasting is to keep your pain at bay, so you wont need the short acting but it's there if pain becomes to high. If you find yourself taking a lot of fast acting, then they need to adjust your extended release, this is something you defiantly need to talk to your Doctor about.

Dear Fed up, i also have problems with morphine. It causes me to have anxiety which is out of control sometimes. The stronger it is the worse it is. You need to talk to your doctor.

I believe that Nurseliberty, Mary and all of the others gave you some great advice. It is common to be on two types of medications, one for extended release, and one for break through or peak pain, that happens when we do too much, or the weather is bad, etc.
If this combination is not working for you, you need to talk to your Doctor ASAP! You deserve pain relief and you need to talk to him so he can help you out, and if he doesn't, take your records and find a new pain management Doctor that will listen to you.
Take care,

The reason is for break through pain, which, IMO, is not a good approach for chronic pain (but OK for acute).

What is wireless networking?
802.11 (sometimes called "Wi-Fi") is a set of protocols that are widely used for small Local Area Networks. Another protocol called Bluetooth allows devices to communicate wirelessly, but it is only useful for very short ranges, and generally not used for home networking. Bluetooth can be useful for networking personal devices in a small area, often called a Personal Area Network (PAN).
802.11 standards actually encompass several different protocols. The trailing letters (i.e. 802.11a) indicate different speeds and frequency bands used. The most important ones are listed below:
|2.5 GHz band
|5 GHz band
|1-2 Mbps
|This standard is older and most products on the market do not support this standard.
|54 Mbps
|Currently, there are products on the market that use this standard, but if they are not dual band (eg. 802.11a/b) they are not compatible with any of the products that use the 2.5 GHz frequency (802.11b, g or n).
(11 Mbps)
|11 Mbps
|Our original 11 Mbps Wireless products used this standard. These products were very affordable and are compatible with 802.11b/g/n products made by other companies.
(22 Mbps)
|22 Mbps
|Our 22 Mbps Wireless Access products are compatible with 802.11b (at 11 Mbps), and are compatible with 802.11g (at the slower 11 Mbps speed). Our 22 Mbps products are considered both backward- and forward-compatible with these standards. When used with 11 Mbps products, these products give you a stronger signal, greater range, and 70% more coverage area.
|54 Mbps
|Our 54 Mbps Wireless Access products are compatible with 802.11b/g/n products , and they are compatible with accelerated g, or 100/125 Mbps Wireless products.
|802.11g accelerated or enhanced (USR Wireless Turbo & MAXg)
|100/125 Mbps
|Our 100/125 Mbps Wireless Access products are compatible with 802.11g (54 Mbps) and 802.11b. If you have 22 Mbps 802.11b products or 54 Mbps 802.11g products, you will be able to add 802.11g Wireless Turbo or MAXg products without having to replace your current equipment.
|802.11n Draft 2 (Ndx)
|270 Mbps
|Our 270 Mbps 802.11n Draft 2.0 Wireless Access products are compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b. If you have 802.11b products or 802.11g products, you will be able to add 802.11n Ndx products without having to replace your current equipment. To get the maximum speed you will need to have 802.11n equipment at both ends of the connection.
Currently, standard 802.11g communicates at 54 Mbps. Our 100/125 Mbps 802.11g equipment will transmit at twice that speed when used with other 100/125 Mbps gear. It will also "step down" to talk to 802.11g at 54 Mbps or 802.11b at 11 or 22 Mbps. Standard 802.11b communicates at 11 Mbps. Our 22 Mbps 802.11b equipment transmits at twice that speed when used with other 22 Mbps gear. It will also "step down" to talk to 802.11b at 11 Mbps.
Note that 802.11a and 802.11b are not directly compatible with one another, but future products may be created to "bridge" the two networks and allow these devices to communicate. Currently, all USRobotics wireless products use the 802.11b protocol, in either 11 Mbps or 22 Mbps speeds, or 802.11g protocol, in either 54 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 125 Mbps.

It's finally time to tip off another college basketball season, and the Arizona women have a difficult row to hoe. With the 13th-most difficult schedule in the nation waiting for them, we'll know soon what the Wildcats are made of.
Arizona has one more bye-week as it starts the regular season on Saturday against an over-manned Northern Arizona team, but then things get hairy. The first test will be in beautiful Santa Barbara, where the plush green sloping hills and blue ocean waves are simply at trap intended to snare any unsuspecting women's basketball team. The Gauchos of UC Santa Barbara carry a No. 18 ranking and are nearly impossible to beat in the Thunderdome. The 22nd-ranked Wildcats will have to be nearly perfect to grab a win there. Then it's on to another tropical paradise, where possibly the best team in the country lies in wait at the Rainbow Wahine Classic, hosted by the University of Hawai'i. The Cats have drawn Virginia, who just missed being ranked in this week's AP poll. A win over the Cavaliers would most likely land Joan Bonvicini's squad smack dab in the middle of a battle with No. 2 Texas.
Back on the home front, Arizona will host its own tournament in early December. This will be an opportunity to get four quick wins as BYU (Dec. 12) and Texas State (Dec. 14) come in following the Fiesta Bowl Classic (Dec. 6-7). The Cats will face American and either UMass or Utah State in their own tournament.
However, after that brief respite, it's back into the rankings again with very difficult games at New Mexico (Dec. 20) and No. 12 LSU (Jan. 4), with Washington (Dec. 27), Washington State (Dec. 29) and Arizona State (Jan. 2) sandwiched in between. Then, Arizona will be off to the races in the deepest Pac-10 conference in recent memory.
What's the point of all of this? The point is that the Wildcats will have to be good early and often to have a successful 2003-04 campaign. There is not much time to find a power forward to play next to Polkey, and Joan Bonvicini will be pressed to quickly insert her new triangle offense. Playing a tough schedule is a credit to Joan and her staff. This is the way it should be. The best should play the best. One thing is for sure -- we'll know soon what the Wildcats are made of!
See you on the radio!

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A "Bryson Leakes" shocker hit I Dream of NeNe tonight. What happened to Bryson and girlfriend Ashley? Bryson Bryant and girlfriend Ashley Hill have broken up. Bryson, NeNe Leakes' son from a previous relationship, shocked his mother tonight by telling her that he is single. Bryson and girlfriend baby mama Ashley have split.
In June, Bryson and Ashley welcomed a beautiful girl. NeNe told news that she had Bryson also at age twenty one. She was worried about the financial responsibilities the baby birth would cause Bryson. But NeNe admitted to news that she paid for everything.
Last season on RHOA, Bryson Bryant got his girlfriend Ashley pregnant and kept the news a secret from NeNe. In August, when NeNe unveiled her granddaughter to the world, she admitted that Bryson kept the pregnancy a secret.

NeNe told news last year "I paid for everything in the nursery: the clothing, the diapers. I don't want her to feel strapped." But she wasn't told that Ashley and Bryson broke up until tonight's episode.
"He knew that I wouldn't approve of him having a child so young. I didn't feel like he was ready for such a big responsibility", NeNe previously told news. She added "I was his age when I had him. So, I know how tough it is. I didn't want him to make the same mistake that I did. I needed to let it sink in."

It has been a decade since artist Randall Lake has opened his Salt Lake studio for public show, something that used to be an annual event where he displayed his work. On Oct. 10, Lake will end the open studio hiatus and display over 60 new and old works of art.
"I used to have these [events] yearly at my studio," Lake says. "They were always very successful and people loved them."
Lake's work has appeared in galleries all over the world, including Russia, Paris and the United States. He has also painted in many locations, and at one point, he produced an annual 40-painting, one-man show in San Francisco.
Lake's busy schedule led him to reassess his priorities, slowing down to just paint for the sake of painting.
Randall's work displayed in his Salt Lake studio, photo courtesy of Randall Lake Art.
Since 1974, Lake's studio has been at the Guthrie Building in SLC, a spot he acquired during his time as a graduate student at the University of Utah. The studio, which he describes as an extension of himself, is blanketed with photos, works of art, antiques and other gems which he has gathered in his past travels. "Living in Salt Lake, I can afford a studiodown town, a country house in Spring City and a house," Lake says.
Specializing in realism, Lake has only recently started experimenting with landscapes. He is quick to point out that he is still, in fact, a realist but a change of pace and a change of location has focused him on painting something different in terms of theme and techniques. Just this year, he took home the Purchase Award and an Honorable Mention at the Spring City Plein Air Competition in Spring City.
Lake has been experimenting with landscapes, photo courtesy of Randall Lake Art
Lake is inspired to paint by the environment of Spring City and Sanpete County. "It's just a gorgeous landscape and the landscape possibilities are endless," he says.
Randall Lake's studio is located at 158 E. 200 South, Salt Lake City. The show opening will be from 6–10 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10. Lake will keep the show up through the weekend, from 12–6 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 11–13. To read more about Randall Lake and see his work online, go to RandallLakeart.com or Facebook.com/RandallLakeArt.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Copland, Marc (Marc Cohen)
Copland, Marc [Marc Cohen], pianist, composer; b. Philadelphia, PA, 27 May 1948. His parents are Sylvan M. Cohen (b. Philadelphia, Pa., 1914-d. 2001), and Alma O. Cohen (b. Philadelphia, Pa., 1921). His brother is Stephen B. Cohen, b. Philadelphia Pa., 1945.
Playing saxophone, Copland was a part of the vibrant music scene in Philadelphia. During that time he studied composition with Romeo Cascarino and Meyer Kupferman, and saxophone with Joe Allard. In 1966 he moved to New York, graduating from Columbia University (B.A. in Music, 1970) and also studying for a year with Lennie Tristano.
Subsequently he met and played with John Abercrombie, Cameron Brown, Chico Hamilton, Glen Moore, Ralph Towner, Jeff Williams, and others. He played both alto and tenor sax and experimented with the electric alto, but his growing attraction to harmony color led him to quit saxophone in order to study piano. He left New York for almost a decade but returned to the jazz world in the mid-80s, cutting his teeth as pianist with Bob Belden, Herbie Mann, James Moody (for whom he was musical director), John Scofield, and Wallace Roney. Before the decade was over, he began working as a leader.
In his trio he built long-lasting musical relationships with bassist Gary Peacock and drummers Billy Hart and Bill Stewart. His work with an all-star quintet widened awareness of his unique way of interpreting standards (the late Bob Berg, Randy Brecker and later Tim Hagans or Ingrid Jensen, James Genus and later Drew Gress, and Dennis Chambers). In the late nineties, Copland's association with Savoy Records ended, and he focused more on smaller ensembles: his trio with Drew Gress and drummer Bill Stewart; a duo with John Abercrombie; and a quartet with Abercrombie, Gress, and Billy Hart. In the early 2000's he recorded a several critically acclaimed releases for various European labels. Both in these CD's and in his tours, he continued the "small ensemble" trend with a trio with Abercrombie and Ken Wheeler; his regular piano trio, now with bassist Gress and drummer Jochen Rueckert; and a duo with David Liebman. In 2002, his first solo CD was followed by solo tours of Europe.
His spouse is Emily Zocchi Copland, b. 1974. His children are Darius, b. 1992; Allegra, b. 2000; Ariana, b. 2002.

After Senator Jack Reed, D-RI issued a statement on Thursday, July 10, 2014 that the long-term unemployment benefits extension should be added to President Barack Obama's $4.3 billion emergency spending to deal with the immigration and border crisis, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV responded that he would be open to the arrangement. At a press conference on Thursday, July 10, 2014 Majority Leader Reid indicated that despite what Sen. Reed previously thought he would want that unemployment benefits extension added as a supplemental to the spending bill.
The bipartisan duo of Senators Reed and Dean Heller, R-NV have been working to renew the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program since it expired on Dec. 28, 2013, leaving 1.8 million long-term jobless Americans without benefits. That number has now risen to over 3.1 million. Besides working on three bills to renew benefits, with only one passing the Senate, before being ignored by the House of Representatives, they have been trying to get the bill added as an amendment or supplemental to popular bipartisan bills. The emergency spending bill seems to be the best opportunity to renew benefits after a stream of roadblocks for the bill.
On Tuesday, July 8, 2014 President Obama asked that Congress pass an "emergency immigration supplemental spending bill" to deal with the "child migrant crisis" with the influx of children from Central American countries predominantly Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras crossing the border. The $4.3 billion bill will be divided with $3.7 billion going to the border crisis and also includes $615 million to fund wildfire prevention in the Western states.
At the press conference Senator Reid responded that "Well, there's a chance" when referring to Sen. Reed's suggestion and request to add the unemployment benefits extension to the emergency spending bill. Continuing, Reid expressed that "I would hope so, he deserves that. He and Heller deserve that." The majority leader however, is concerned that Senate Republicans are no longer interested in the unemployment benefits extension. Reid commented; "We are losing some of our enthusiasm when the Republicans simply, other than Dean Heller, just turn a blind eye to these people who are suffering."
The first Reed-Heller benefits extension bill, the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2014 passed the Senate on April 7, 2014. The bipartisan bill had five Republican co-sponsors and passed with five Republican votes. Since the bill included a retroactive element with a five-month deadline valid only from Dec. 28, 2013 to June 1, 2014, the GOP House could choose to ignore it and it would expire.
The new bill Reed and Heller introduced on June 24 does not have a deadline, and attempts to comply more with Speaker of the House John Boehner's, R-OH demands. The bill will have a five-month extension, lasting approximately until the end of 2014. The new bill will cost a total of $10 billion and was planned to be paid for by revenue, including "pension smoothing" and "extending Customs user fees through 2024" as was the last bill.
Initially, Speaker Boehner refused to put the bill to a vote without the White House and President Obama including a list of acceptable job creation measures that can be added to the bill. Although Republicans have always objected to the EUC program because they believe it deters Americans from finding a job. Now the majority of Republicans object to the benefits extension because the decreasing unemployment rate, including the long-term unemployment rate. Sen. Heller has been working to rally the elusive Republican support for the bill. Heller told CapRadio on July 7; "They've been very positive to me. They understand where I'm coming from and the state of Nevada and the situation, the economic situation, in the state of Nevada."
The June jobs report found that the unemployment rate fell by 0.2 percent, from 6.3 in May to 6.1 percent, lower than pre-Great Recession numbers, with 215,000 jobs were added. While weekly unemployment benefits applications are also declining. Long-term unemployment also fell by 293,000 and in total has dropped 700,000 in the past three months since March; however they still compromise 32.8 percent of all unemployed Americans. Republicans are now claiming the unemployment rate decreasing is because they did not renew benefits for the long-term jobless.
Senator Heller however, places most of his blame for the bill's failure for President Obama refusing to be involved in negotiations with Speaker Boehner, and for not providing that list of job creation measures he has been requesting. Heller commented; "Just ask them what will it take and I know they want job creation portions added to the legislation, which I agree with, but let's move forward." Except for one line critical comments in his recent speeches on the economy placing all the blame on Republicans Obama has not actively done anything to ensure the bill's passage. Options are running out for the unemployment benefits extension, maybe it will have the chance it deserves if added to the emergency spending bill.

In this paper, a well-known finite difference technique is combined with thermal lattice Boltzmann method to solve 2-dimensional incompressible thermal fluid flow problems. A small number of microvelocity components are applied for the calculation of temperature field. The combination of finite difference with lattice Boltzmann method is found to be an efficient and stable approach for the simulation at high Rayleigh number of natural convection in a square cavity.

The Customer Site Visit: Getting to Know Our Users Better
Usability Engineer Describes Trip to Observe Software in Action
Author: Joyce Ohgi, Senior Usability Engineer – Oracle Applications User Experience
The site visit team consisted of three people: a visual designer, who designs the look and feel of the software; a product strategist, who has intimate knowledge of the software; and a usability engineer, me, who conducts research on how people use Oracle software.
One of the first visits was with Mary (real names are not used to protect privacy), an accountant who uses Oracle software to distribute grant money to school districts. We met in her office, and after asking a few questions about her job and what she likes and dislikes about using Oracle, we stopped talking and quietly observed her as she performed her daily work. On that day, she allocated money for a school district by setting up a project in Oracle's PeopleSoft Financials. We watched as she went step-by-step through the process, first transferring information from a paper budget printout to an Excel spreadsheet, then setting up the project in PeopleSoft. She explained to us that she sometimes had trouble with the software and gave us screen shots with specific issues.
The Advantage to Being There
We were able to see not only how Mary worked within Oracle applications, but also the work that she performed using other software, as well as the physical items that she interacted with in her office. Being there gave us insights that we would not have had if we were talking on the phone, or if she had come to the Oracle usability labs. She was doing real-world tasks, things that are a part of her every-day job, in the environment where she was accustomed to doing her work. We watched as she occasionally had to refer to her cheat-sheets, stored in folders on her desk. A myriad of details were available to us that could only be noted in person.
Next, we visited Mary's manager, Anne. Although they work in the same department, their needs and the ways in which they use Oracle software differ greatly. Anne spent her time in the system reviewing and approving invoices, budgets, and reports. She viewed information at a more general level than Mary. Also, it was interesting to observe how frequently that part of Anne's work was interrupted by phone calls and by employees with questions. Her day varied quite a bit from Mary's more consistent routine.
It was important to meet both Mary and Anne. We got a better idea of the different ways everyone in their department interacted with Oracle's software, and we saw how information flowed from person to person in the office.
Overall, during the three days in Montana, we met with 10 users at various state agencies. Most of these meetings followed the same format. We would ask some questions about the person's job, how they use Oracle software, what they liked and disliked about it, and would then observe them as they went about their daily business. Meeting with a variety of users gave us a clearer idea of the different types of people who use our software. Managers have different needs than accountants, who have different needs than budget analysts.
The team brought back detailed information about the people who use Oracle Financials to the design and development teams. Included in the report were customers' likes and dislikes, the issues they have with the software, and design recommendations based on their feedback.
We also collected sample reports and screen shots of some of their issues with the software. This information gave the team a better understanding of who they were designing for, and which features would best help these users.
Fusion Research Effort
This site visit was one of many that took place as part of the Fusion research effort. Oracle sent teams of usability professionals to numerous customer sites in 2005 and 2006, as part of an effort that continues today, to observe customer relationship management, human capital management, financials, supply chain management, and analytics. The feedback teams received from users, and our observations of their work, helped shape the vision for Fusion. Equipped with the information about Oracle's customers that we collected on these site visits, Oracle's designers were able to envision the user as they worked on the Fusion designs and task flows.
Customer site visits are a core step in the Oracle design and development process. This was not a one-time activity for Fusion, but an ongoing part of the design effort. Site visits help us design products that make customers successful, by increasing the ease-of-use of our products, and increasing users' productivity. By observing those who use our products, we can ensure that the products are designed to fit and complement real work. We strive to continually innovate and meet customers' needs as their businesses change and grow.
Arranging a Site Visit
Are you curious to learn more? Would you consider having your company participate in a site visit? When customers hear about Oracle's site visits, there are common questions they ask:
Site visits are an opportunity for customers to voice requirements and influence future product designs. What we learn from the people who use our products daily lets us understand how to help them be more efficient at their work, and how to make their work lives easier and more productive.
Having Oracle conduct a visit at a customer site can improve employee satisfaction with Oracle applications. Site visits empower employees by letting them know they are being heard.
How to Set Up a VisitIf you are interested in learning more about Oracle site visits, please e-mail email@example.com. Site visits are only one of many ways that you can get involved with Oracle. We also run a number of other usability activities, such as customer feedback sessions, usability tests, and focus groups. Learn how to get involved in Oracle's usability programs.

The Red Sox named Arnie Beyeler as the club's first-base coach, general manager Ben Cherington and manager John Farrell announced Tuesday.
The 2013 campaign will mark Beyeler's first on a major league staff and 10th in Boston's system. Beyeler, 48, has spent 13 years as manager in the minors, the last two with Boston's Triple-A Pawtucket affiliate. He became just the third manager to lead the PawSox to the postseason in consecutive years and last season's team won the Governors' Cup, marking Pawtucket's first International League championship in 28 years.
He also saw 23 of his players contribute to the Red Sox at the major-league level this past season.
"Arnie has had a successful professional career as a player, coach and manager," Farrell said. "This allows him to bring a wealth of experience to this position."
Beyeler served as a minor-league manager in the Red Sox organization from 2000-02 and 2007-12, guiding his clubs to a 585-553 (.514) record and four playoff appearances. In 13 seasons overall as a minor-league manager, including three with the Rangers organization from 2003-05, he has compiled an 802-756 (.515) record and reached the playoffs six times.
Beyeler was at the helm of Boston's Double-A Portland club from 2007-10 and led the Sea Dogs to a pair of Eastern League playoff berths in 2007 and 2008. He was named the Eastern League's top managerial prospect by Baseball America in 2010. Beyeler's first managerial experience came with the Red Sox' Short-A Lowell affiliate in 2000-01, followed by a year with Single-A Augusta in 2002.
Between stints with the Red Sox organization, he managed the Rangers' High-A California League affiliate in Stockton (2003-04) and Bakersfield (2005), leading Stockton to the California League playoffs in 2003 and 2004. In 2006, he served as hitting coach for San Diego's Double-A Mobile affiliate.

Are Nurses Practicing Evidence-based Nursing Care?
The culture has been changing over the last few decades to emphasize the importance of evidence-based care giving for nurses. Many Registered Nurses are well educated and well experienced and are expected to take continuing education throughout their profession. However, do nurses understand and practice evidenced-based care? A brief review of the history and current state shows some interesting highs and lows along this important pathway.
One of the most famous nurses in history was Florence Nightingale (1820-1910). Upon returning from the Crimean war, she pushed for improved hygiene and sanitary conditions as well as record keeping to increase the understanding of outcomes. She also made strides in improving the knowledge surrounding mortality rates in subpopulations, and demonstrated that trained nursing staff influenced outcomes over untrained staff.1
Despite this strong foundation, nursing has somewhat strayed from evidence-based practice. Possibly the most notorious example was the practice of Therapeutic Touch (TT) started in the 1970s. Therapeutic Touch involves the transfer of human energy from one person to another through close physical proximity and creates a healing effect. Although the debate about TT is beyond the scope of this paper, it was originally well published and endorsed by nursing leaders of the time.2 However, one of the youngest persons to have published in a medical journal, Emily Rosa, performed a basic scientific study on Therapeutic Touch which found there was no detectable human energy field. Despite this finding, another article challenges her conclusions based on inappropriate design and analysis. 3,4 This is how evidence-based practice develops. A single robust study, regardless of its findings should still be repeated multiple times to confirm the results before it is considered evidenced based and ready to formally influence practice.
Nurses need to continue to advocate for evidence-based care. Anecdotal practices may be effective, and should be formally subjected to rigorous research. To be on par with other healthcare professionals (i.e., physicians, pharmacists etc) nurses will need to learn to discuss evidence and understand that their actual day to day practice is guided by established processes that optimize patient care. A strong tool available for nurses to better understand the strength of evidence is the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence Based Practice protocol. The American Nurses Association has provided links to the appraisal tool, however there is a full text that provides greater detail.5 The appraisal tool is a good start for a nurse interested in evaluating evidence. However, additional expert input will be needed to actually be able to rate published research.
The healthcare environment is changing, and the focus on evidence-based practice is being emphasized. In a 2011 report to Congress, the US Department of Health and Human Services calls for the development of a National Quality Strategy that will specifically use evidence-based results to improve "medicine, public health, and health care delivery".6 Nurses can have a positive influence on setting a national standard as this endeavor is implemented.
Professional nursing requires understanding of best practices as defined by replicated and strong evidence published in peer-reviewed journals. This article begins to define the responsibility and shows a tool to critically analyze evidence. There is a common pitfall to believe anything in print, however, keep a healthy skepticism, be objective, and always strive for the best outcomes for patients.

The Redding Rodeo held its second annual "Chicks N Chaps" event. The event is a Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser that is featured across the nation.
The event started on Friday at noon. Ladies who signed up got to be a cowgirl for a day. Each attendant rode a fake bull and learned how to throw some ropes. There was also a luncheon that had different speakers, some whom were breast cancer survivors.
The luncheon also honored those who have fought the breast cancer battle and won.
"Early detection is key. I know a few people personally that have survived breast cancer and they still have complications, " said Miss Redding Rodeo Brandi Sealander, in an interview. "But if they had caught it earlier, they might have had fewer complications."
The event ended with dinner at 7 p.m. and a night of rodeo on Rodeo Flats.
