TEAMS: New York Jets
The New York Jets' new general manager John Idzik stressed his "power of we over me" approach to team-building Thursday when meeting with the media for the first time.Meanwhile, rumors were circulating that the Jets were shopping their best player, cornerback Darrelle Revis. Let's cut to the chase. Revis, who will be a free agent following the 2013 season, is reportedly seeking $15-16 million a year on his new contract, which is half a dozen million more than what Nnamdi Asomugha made last year as the NFL's highest-paid corner.Keep in mind, this is a guy coming off ACL surgery after his knee buckled early in the 2012 season before his team went on to rank second in pass defense without him. A guy who held out a few seasons ago and toyed with the idea of another no-show last year.Unless Revis is willing to reason, and history says he isn't, he won't be a Jet beyond 2013. The Jets have way too many holes to fill and could take care of four or five positio...

The Frugal Cook: Using the Whole Apple
I went to a harvest party last weekend where the hosts served hard cider, apple crisp and other baked goods, and sent everyone home with a big bag of apples. They'd gone apple picking the day before and trucked home 240 pounds of different varieties, which meant that I came home staring down my bag of apples wondering what else I could do with them besides apple sauce or apple butter.
Sheri Castle just wrote a piece for Gilt Taste highlighting all of the ways you can use the whole apple: "if eating the whole fruit out of hand isn't your thing, all it takes is a little bit of attention to turn the trim into apple vodka, apple-ginger syrup, zesty gremolata and more."
What I so appreciate about Castle's piece are her efforts to move far beyond applesauce or chutney in her suggestions of how to use up the whole apple, core and all. She details nifty tricks I can't wait to try, including a spiced apple vodka, an apple compound butter, and an apple broth to flavor couscous or cooking vegetables or potatoes.
She notes that thick peelings and sturdy cores deliver much more flavor, so leave some apple pulp on them. And if you are concerned about the barely-existent trace of arsenic found in apple seeds, she suggests just cutting the core in half crosswise and sliding them out with a knife.

Apple broth? Sounds fantastic!
I toss any browned spotted apple pieces or apples we didn't eat before they went mealy, and all our apple cores into a freezer bag, then when I have a fair amount, I put them in water w/ cinnamon sticks, a halved orange or lemon (I save the shells after squeezing) and a few chai tea bags, and simmer on the stove. Makes the house smell so good! :)
Oooh man... spiced apple rum which you then turn into buttered rum? What. That sounds amazing. I'm not a big fan of vodka, so I would totally rum-ify that recipe.
I've also heard about people turning the peels and/or cores (extra pectin-y!) into apple jelly.
I've got a bunch of northern spys I've got to do something with, so perhaps I'll turn the scraps into something yummy.
I love these ideas! But don't apple seeds have cyanide in them, not arsenic? It's still not dangerous anyway, since there's such a small amount!
if the apples are sort of getting squishy, use them to roast a pork loin, slice the apples with the onions. Adds great flavor and tastes delishus
I make my own pectin from the peelings and cores. It's been the strongest pectin I've ever used and it sets just about anything.
@Slow Lorus - do you just make a super-hard jelly and then spoon some into each batch of other fruit jelly you make? Or do you somehow dry and powder it like commercial pectins made from apples?
@vintagejenta -- I make a liquid pectin (yes, jelly-like state) and then can in mason jars or dehydrate into a fruit leather state. Both store really well.
Because apples are often used to make pectin they are a great addition to veggie broth!
I was making apple butter tonight and instead of turning my cores and peels into juice or pectin (which is what I usually do) I decided to try the apple vodka - after only 3 hours it smells amazing!
Just tried the apple vodka - 4 days after I made it it tastes amazing.
Puree apple peels with buttermilk and add them to bread pudding. Amazing.

William Beaumont Army Medical Center is proud to offer the following services in order to better serve the Army and the surrounding community.
The William Beaumont Blood Donor Center serves William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC) and is part of the Armed Services Blood Program, which is an integral part in the United States Army supporting the Global War on Terrorism.
To offer quality blood services in support of global medical readiness during peacetime and combat operations.
To be a preeminent quality, cost effective blood system providing blood products, blood substitutes, and services wherever and whenever needed.
Apheresis is a unique blood donation process that allows a donor to give specific blood cells. One of those is called platelets. Platelets help blood coagulate, which is helpful in injuries. There is a much higher demand for platelets than for other blood products due to its short shelf life (5 days). An apheresis procedure takes about two hours, and the donor usually does not experience any weakness since the red cells are returned to the donor during the procedure. Platelets can be given up to 24 times per year.
The William Beaumont Donor Center is a collection center for the CW Bill Young Bone Marrow program. Thousands of patients with life-threatening diseases are waiting for bone marrow transplants. Patients and donors must have matching tissue types for patients to receive bone marrow.
A small a swab is collected, from the mouth. It is then typed and placed on a national database. Most matches are found among people with a similar ethnicity. The Department of Defense and the National Bone Marrow Program cooperate to increase the national database of potential marrow donors. Registration in the program requires a five-minute history and small tube of blood.

Si trova tra il Distretto finanziario e l'ambiente rilassato e bohemien del West Village, con una serie di boutique in stile retro-industrial chic.

Quando si tratta di acquisti vintage, a Brooklyn troverete alcune gemme nascoste. Mafalda è decisamente un negozio imperdibile, con la sua ricca scelta di abiti, dai look firmati più costosi, ai capi rétro più abbordabili.

Dr. David Heber's groundbreaking book What Color Is Your Diet? introduced us to the Color Code -- building a healthy diet based on colorful fruits and vegetables. Now, his life-changing book The L.A. Shape Diet combines the sound nutritional basis of the Color Code with his newest research from the UCLA Center for Nutrition, which shows you how to analyze your body shape, personal protein needs, and metabolism not only to lose weight -- but also to change your body shape.
Dr. Heber maintains that everyone is born with a particular shape -- and this shape makes a huge difference in how you should approach weight loss. He teaches the difference between the shape you can change and the shape you cannot, and how to do this with the right amount of dietary protein (and most Americans, women especially, eat too little protein). Then Dr. Heber helps you build your own ideal diet, starting with protein, then 7 colorful servings of fruits and vegetables (providing 25 grams of filling fiber), and finally whole grains.
In a world of dietary fads and one size fits all pseudo-miracle diets, The L.A. Shape Diet is the most effective, easy-to-follow, scientifically sound dietary plan you'll find.

[Evasively.] Not quite in the middle. I had unfortunately to move that figure a little back. For the sake of the general effect, you understand. Otherwise it would have dominated the whole too much.
But the joy in the light still transfigures my face?
Yes, it does, Irene—in a way. A little subdued perhaps—as my altered idea required.
[Rising noiselessly.] That design expresses the life you now see, Arnold.
Yes, I suppose it does.
And in that design you have shifted me back, a little toned down—to serve as a background-figure—in a group.
[She draws the knife.
Not a background-figure. Let us say, at most, a figure not quite in the foreground—or something of that sort.
[Whispers hoarsely.] There you uttered your own doom.
[On the point of striking.
[Turns and looks up at her.] Doom?
[Hastily hides the knife, and says as though choked with agony.] My whole soul—you and I—we, we, we and our child were in that solitary figure.
[Eagerly, taking off his hat and drying the drops of sweat upon his brow.] Yes, but let me tell you, too, how I have placed myself in the group. In front, beside a fountain—as it were here—sits a man weighed down with guilt, who cannot quite free himself from the earth -crust. I call him remorse for a forfeited life. He sits there and dips his fingers in the purling stream—to wash them clean—and he is gnawed and tortured by the thought that never, never will he succeed. Never in all eternity will he attain to freedom and the new life. He will remain for ever prisoned in his hell.
[Hardly and coldly.] Poet!
Why poet?
Because you are nerveless and sluggish and full of forgiveness for all the sins of your life, in thought and in act. You have killed my soul —so you model yourself in remorse, and self-accusation, and penance— [Smiling.] —and with that you think your account is cleared.

January 24, 2008
This was a really funny movie, that was made awesome by Tracy Morgan and Katt Williams and Rickey Smiley. They made the 1st part of the film so very funny..although the ending was WAY too emotional.
January 22, 2008
Funny at the first act, but, by the second & third act, it gets too preachy & too predictable.

Not too bad a movie...Kat Williams is incredible in this one...Ice Cube as a director is a funny force to be reconed with....he is going to be around for a loooong time...in front and behind the camera.

I always wondered what a really unfunny comdey would be like, and I found out. A lame excuse of a Melo-Dramatic "Tyler Perry" Rip-off.

Critic Reviews
Grafting moral uplift on to a slapstick caper with mixed results, this nevertheless captures some of the giddy eccentricity of the Ealing comedies it haphazardly resembles. Full Review
If Tyler Perry ever wanted to turn Dog Day Afternoon into a treacly after-school special, it would probably end up looking a lot like this. Full Review
The movie is designed to be uplifting and inspirational, but everything about it is tired and listless. It doesn't so much make you feel the spirit as drain it out of you. Full Review
The movie's total lack of focus and its unimpressive script should render it totally unwatchable. Weirdly, that doesn't quite happen. Full Review
Your enjoyment of this movie may depend on the Tracy Morgan factor. Rarely has there been a comic who can switch from funny to unbearably grating with such speed. Full Review
While we can't presume to know the Lord's mind, somewhere in the footnotes to the Ten Commandments there must be a rule about not using insipid piety to excuse incompetent comedy. Full Review
The film, written and directed by urban theater circuit playwright David E. Talbert, is far from polished, but it has a rambunctious energy that's hard to resist. Full Review
Though Ice Cube and Morgan should make an ideal team, neither seems particularly comfortable grappling with Talbert's amateurish script. Full Review
Ice Cube goes cold in First Sunday, a heist comedy in which the audience gets robbed. Full Review
Ice Cube has been taking a lot of heat in recent years for abandoning his tough guy image in exchange for Hollywood stardom, and First Sunday appears to be a compromise. Full Review

Governor Kitzhaber, Obama Administration announce agreement
Governor Kitzhaber and the Obama Administration today announced an agreement in principle to coordinate care for the more than 600,000 Oregon Health Plan members. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has given preliminary approval of a five-year, $1.9 billion demonstration of a Federal-State partnership to transform the way we deliver care to Oregon Health Plan recipients. The initial investment of $620 million in the second year of the State's current biennium will allow CCOs to deliver high-quality, coordinated care for Medicaid patients while reducing preventable health conditions. Oregon estimates that this will achieve $11 billion in savings over the next decade. You can read the Governor's press release to learn more.
First round of technical applications submitted
Monday was the due date for the first round of technical applications for potential Coordinated Care Organizations. Fourteen Oregon-based entities submitted the first part of the application to become a CCO. If all were approved, more than 90 percent of OHP clients would have access to care through a CCO. The names of the CCO applicants are listed on cco.health.oregon.gov. The full applications will be posted as soon as they have gone through a completeness review. The Oregon Health Authority will spend the next several weeks reviewing the applications and the first CCOs will be certified May 28, 2012.

Venue: Providence Park, Portland, Ore.
TV: TSN2; Radio: TEAM 1410; Mobile: Bell
Unbeaten in five, the Caps go in search of their first MLS win against the Timbers, who are on a good run of their own, unbeaten in six. Expect some fireworks at the league's most rockin' stadium.
Whitecaps' last game: Goals from Erik Hurtado and Gershon Koffie had the Caps in the driver's seat against Seattle until a weak penalty handed the Sounders a point in a thrilling 2-2 tie.
MLS form: T-T-W-W-T
Portland's last game: On-loan Nigerian striker Fanendo Adi scored his first two MLS goals as Portland extended its unbeaten streak to six with a 2-0 road win over Chivas on Wednesday.
MLS form: W-T-T-W-W
Predicted Caps XI (4-2-3-1): Ousted; Reo-Coker, O'Brien, DeMerit, Harvey; Laba, Koffie; Fernandez, Morales, Manneh; Hurtado
1. Captain Canada
Portland's Canadian captain Will Johnson thrived last season against the Whitecaps, a club that courted him in late 2012 when he moved to the Timbers from Real Salt Lake.
The tireless 27-year-old midfielder had two goals and two assists in three meetings against the Caps in 2013. He doesn't mind playing the villain, either. After scoring from the penalty spot at B.C. Place, he shushed the Southsiders.
It should be a terrific battle in central midfield Sunday. There's oodles of talent and tenacity on both sides.
2. Game-changers
Two of the league's most dynamic young talents — Portland's Darlington Nagbe and Vancouver's Kekuta Manneh — could well start this game.
Nagbe's still searching for his first goal of 2014 after nine last year, but ignore him at your peril. Manneh's had great moments but the end product hasn't been there the last couple of games. Will his speed and skill trump Jack Jewsbury's smarts at right-back? And when Manneh gets in the box, can he get the best of his fellow Gambians, centre backs Pa Modou Kah and Futty Danso?
3. Who's the best No. 10?
Pedro Morales, the Caps' Chilean playmaker, and Diego Valeri, the Timbers' Argentine playmaker, are both a treat to watch and worth the ticket price. Along with Columbus's Federico Higuain, there's your three top No. 10's in MLS.
Before this season, Caps' coach Carl Robinson said he thought Morales could be an even better signing than Valeri, who scored 10 goals, added 13 assists, and won the MLS newcomer of the year award last year.
Sunday will be their first head-to-head meeting. Who can create more for their teammates?
(MLS) Wright-Phillips, New York, 11;
(VAN) Morales 3, Manneh 3;
(POR) Urruti 5, Fernandez 5;
(MLS) Martins, Seattle, 6;

Because 911 calls are typically stored for no longer than 90 days, officials are struggling to find other possible documentation.
Meanwhile, some experts have asked whether the Police Department should be reviewing its own mishandled cases.
Lisae C. Jordan, executive director of the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault's legal institute, said she was "reserving judgment" until a list of protocols to guide the review had been compiled.
"Ideally, you probably need a mix of people from outside [the agencies] and also inside, so they can have discussions about what was happening on the ground," Jordan said. "They're still discussing having someone from outside Baltimore City also participating."
Government and police officials are expected to update the City Council on the progress of their review at an investigative hearing tonight, one month after a Baltimore Sun article that questioned the way the Police Department investigates allegations of rape prompted Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to order reform measures.
City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young called the numbers "alarming." Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III and Baltimore State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy have been invited to testify at the hearing.
A Sun analysis of federal crime statistics and city police reports showed that for the past five years, Baltimore has led the nation in the percentage of rape allegations that police say are false or baseless. Many victims of sexual assaults say police interrogators ask confrontational questions and challenge their motives and truthfulness; as a result, many women decide not to cooperate, leading to the cases being shelved.
The newspaper's review found that four in 10 calls to 911 during that period never made it to detectives specializing in sex crimes, having been dismissed by police officers at the scene with no report taken.
Officials have pledged to conduct a thorough review and produce long-lasting reforms, with Bealefeld calling the situation a "crisis" that the department ignored for years. They are seeking grant money, revising internal procedures and working more closely with victim's advocacy groups. A hot line was created for people to request that their cases be reviewed. And the mayor formed a task force to take a broader look at the issue.
Similar irregularities in the reporting of rape statistics have surfaced across the country, including in Philadelphia, where police in 1999 reopened 2,500 rape cases going back five years – the statute of limitations in Pennsylvania. Of those, police auditors determined that 2,300 were mishandled. A coalition of local women's groups was permitted to review the cases labeled "unfounded," a process that continues a decade later.
The initial effort at reform in Baltimore got off to a bumpy start, with the commander tapped by Bealefeld to oversee the unit opting to retire. The department has yet to find a replacement.
And the team tasked with reviewing rape reports from the past year and a half has raised concerns among victims' advocacy groups – it is led by a sergeant from the Police Department's cold case sex offense unit and the head of the state's attorney's office's sex offense unit. Experts say the review should include independent eyes from outside the department.
But Embry said the review has already begun. Sex offense detectives, as well as detectives who will be conducting the audit, attended retraining over the course of two days last week. An employee from the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Howard County sex crimes investigator Roland Denton led the training.
Embry said the results of the audit of "unfounded" cases will be presented to the mayor's task force, and members will determine whether any should be reopened. Advocates from Turnaround Inc. would then help police reach out to any victims. That review includes at least 12 cases in which people called the city-established hot line maintained by Towson-based Turnaround to ask that their cases be reviewed.
Meanwhile, efforts to glean why officers in the patrol division failed to take reports has been difficult.
"What they found is that there's very, very limited information, because no report was taken," Embry said.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi and Chief of Patrol John Skinner did not reply to requests for comment.

38 Tasting Notes
So good news… GOT MY ADAGIO SHIPMENT IN TODAY!!!!!! I was so pumped i bout dove into the box. This is one of the five i picked, basically, at random from the black tea list and was entirely to happy to have picked a Yunnan… funny thing though, i ended up picking 3 Yunnan and was ok with it.
I brewed at 3 minutes and 15 seconds at 195F. i added a small bit of honey and its really all it needed. First sip without sweetener, i picked up on a bold dark cocoa and maybe a little pepper, as well the aroma of the tea was strangely fruity and very sweet.
After the first couple small sips, i added honey and a smig of milk. This tea works very well with others, becoming very creamy and charming, building with the honey for a wonderful medley of flavors. As the tea cooled a bit, the tea flavor subsided a little and a natural fruitiness broke through. A perfect end to a damn near perfect tea.
I am a Yunnan fan and it just hit the spot for me. Thank you all for your suggestions and i'll will talk to you all in the morning.
I'm not a huge green tea fan… i'm just not. It is a sad fact and i wish i was a green fan, but i have problems with it. It just seems so bland and tacky. It may just be me but i feel like this tea has almost not flavor. i get a little mint but nothing that really excites me… i ordered a sample of the adagio Casablanca Twist so i hope is does better than this…
This is my evening snack… and its perfect. i finally understand what people mean when they say this is a pepper-y kinda taste and spice and its amazing. i can't believe its almost gone.
i want to order new tea's soon but don't know what try… does anyone have a suggestion or some couple gram samples they may wanna send my way… i drink 4 cups a day and im also a part of another blog page so im always open to new things… as well i would love to swap with you however im still unemployed and the lis of my cupboard is just a list of the teas i have had and drank so im sorry guys… im just about of everything except my celestial. please help me out guy… at least with ideas. if anyone needs my adress and shipping info PM me. thanks so much
So… 2:11 A.M. in sleepy little germantown, and what am i drinking… WHAT ELSE Nine Dragon. It just works for me, i don't know.
It is a wonderfully earthy tea. I wish that i could break my NDGN stash at all hours of the day. Every hour that is, and enjoy a nice warm cup with a little powdered sugar (mostly because i have run out of agave nectar, RAW sugar, and honey…Payday is this Thursday though) and it makes my soul warm. However, this frantic love afare will , more sooner then i had ever dreamed, be over. The bad part about all this…one of has to go, and i'm afraid its you. My Bag of NDGN is almost depleted and will never be available again… R.I.P Nine Dragon Golden Needle… you served me well.
Brewed a Gallon of this and put it on ice. Best idea ever…. it make me happy and proud to say that i am7 months free of soda today and it's all thanks to tea…
id also like to shout to a few steepster pals that helped me through my mind numbing, Nine Dragon Golden Needles ordeal yesterday. sad stuff…. thanks guys
Congratulations! I am still working on getting rid of my bad habit. Finding things that are good iced/cold is probably where I'll end up too. One thing I like cold is Stash's (Organic) Vanilla Honeybush, which I found at Giant Eagle (Kroger/Walmart here doesn't have it, but maybe some other grocer down that way might…is there a Whole Foods that you can get to?). There are other brands (including Adagio and Upton, if you're getting other samples). p.s. see my note on your Earl Grey Creme Vanilla tasting note.
So… my 8 month old daughter had me up until about… ah i don't know, FIVE am… kinda sucks but a rather great time to enjoy a warm cup of tea. i always reach for my nine dragon golden needles when i need to cal my nerves. However, as of lately i am almost afraid to drink anymore of it. I got on the teavana website to order more and, much to my surprise, ITS NOT ON THE WEBSITE ANYMORE… terror ran through every inch of me. So without further ado the question of the night: Does: A. anyone know if the nine dragon golden needles is discontinued? and B. Does anyone know of a fair replacement for it if, indeed, it is at an end. i don't like to think this way however i don't see much of a choice. As well, i am thinking about venturing out. as of thus far, i have only enjoyed teas that can be purchased as you local Wal-mart/ kroger and from my Simi-local Teavana. I was curious upon Adagio and there array of teas…any suggestions? thanks all.
Not positive, but it seems to be discontinued (see other tasting notes). I don't feel qualified to make recommendations, but look around for Yunnan teas (golden, gold?). Don't know how Adagio's Yunnans stack up, so maybe read reviews for choices. Check out Upton Tea Imports also. I've had good luck with their flavored teas (so far). I'm a beginner too though : )
Hey, Thanks so much! its an odd thing, my brain is still rapt around this idea that tea is mysterious and hard to understand. I'm starting to come to the conclusion that, ironic though it may be, that it isn;t so hard to understand but it requires a sense of valid logic. It's all fairly new to me and thats why i joined this website, because i want to learn more and the best way to do that is to do that is to spend time and talk to the people that spend there time and money enjoying this wonderful little leaf. So again i say thank you .
I support the Bai Lin suggestion, but I will always support a recommendation of Fujian black. :D If you try the Bai Lin and find you like it, also have a go at a Panyang (or Tan Yang), also a Fujian tea and my all-time favourite tea in the world. I get mine from TeaSpring. You could also try the Laoshan Northern Black (I think that's the name) that Verdant Tea sells. You might enjoy that one as well.
Definitely explore Yunnans though. Cheryl made some good suggestions up there because they have huge selections so it's a good place to start exploring, and like she says, try to look up some of them here first and see if other people have posted about it and how they describe it.
Ok wonderfriends… got another noobie question for ya. i started a teavivre account and it says i have reward point…. how do you use them and how many do you need?
Pass. I haven't tried shopping with Teavivre yet. I would think it ought to say on the site, though.
See mail I sent you. Angel from Teavivre is active on Steepster (I see many people thanking her for sending them samples). She could answer your questions, or perhaps ask about sampling? http://steepster.com/Teavivre
Each 100 points is worth a dollar off your order! You also sometimes get points after you buy tea if you review your tea on their site. Purchases of tea also garner you some points. There is almost always a tea coupon code. I recently used teavivre10 and it worked. You can always google for those and then give them a try.
It IS sadly discontinued, but if you can get to a Teavana store, they may have some left over from the after Christmas sale. I know the store I work in still has a couple of tins full of it and they're like 75% off. As a replacement if you're used to using Teavana, Copper Knot Hongcha is one of my favorites with the same honey undertone. :)
Also, you can get 2oz of Golden Needle along with a few others and other neat stuff in their Into Tea collection. I got mine half off, but even full priced it's a great deal! I love all of teas and the little tins are great for keeping at the office or in your purse if you're on the go like me. And it comes with two fabulous tea tumblers!
I like the Nine Dragon Golden Needles Black from Teavana because it not a super black tea "punch to the face." I was lucky to find my little teavana baggie while going though my moved foodstuffs and almost see this as a gift from god. It is amazing and i truly enjoy is. Amen.
It is nice and aromatic without being fruity or perfumesque. It's light amber in color, and it is almost as thought its full of life. It has a sweet undertone of honey that truly makes for a wonderful taste and has almost no bitterness what-so-ever. It's a perfect tea, well… all the time. I like my nine dragon with a little sugar and a couple drops of lemon juice. Makes for a nice relaxing tea in the evening and just enough caffeine to wake me up in the morning.
It is awesome that i found this tea and i'm glad to have a cup tonight. In the meantime… good night everyone.

2009 Dec - Nursing Management of Chest Drains
- Details
- Category: Pleural Diseases
- Hits: 47882
Chest drain can be used to drain abnormal collections of fluid or air from the pleural cavity. It is mostly used to treat pneumothorax and pleural effusions. Although chest drains have been used for over a century, there is surprisingly little research-based evidence. Most literature is largely anecdotal and often based on expert opinions or retrospective series. In the following discussion, a review of the current nursing care and management of chest drains would be made.
Types of chest drainage system
Several drainage systems are available and it is important that the nurse is aware of the function of each one. The most common employed one is the one-bottle system, but traditionally there are two- and three-bottle systems, which are now less commonly used. Instead some manufacturers have produced plastic multi-chamber units. Some knowledge on the design of such systems will enhance the understanding and management of such units.
One-bottle system
The simplest way to set up a single bottle with a tube submerged to a depth of 2cm under water which creates a water seal is illustrated in figure 1a. One tube leads out of the bottle through the plug at the top, allowing air to open into the atmosphere. However, excessive accumulation of fluid inside the bottle might impose resistance and hence the optimal functioning of the unit. The system can also be connected directly to the low regulator suction if negative pressure is required to improve drainage afterwards. (Figure 1b)
Two-bottle system
One form of this system involves separate drainage/collection and water seal units, with air from the pleural space conducted through the tubing that connects the two bottles and "bubbles" through the water seal bottle and exits to the atmosphere, as illustrated in figure 2a. By adding a bottle container before the water-seal bottle, rising resistance from excessive concomitant pleural fluid drainage can be avoided. Another form involves a water-seal bottle connected to a second suction-regulating bottle to gauze the pressure created via external suction (Figure 2b). However, the maximum negative pressure available is usually limited to 10-12 cm H2O due to the limited height of the water column in the commonly available bottles.
Three- bottle system
A three bottle system contains a collection chamber, an under water seal & a suction regulating device to maintain constant negative pressure as illustrated in figure 3. The level of fluid in the suction control bottle determines the amount of suction provided to promote drainage from the pleural space. As illustrated, the three bottle system is bulky and therefore hence is seldomly used. The commercially available plastic multi-chamber systems incorporate the three bottle system into one unit with three chambers as illustrated in figure 4
Nursing management
Once a chest drain is inserted, it is important for the nursing staff to ensure that the patient and the drain are closely monitored. However, wide variations of practice have been observed, which are based on local policies and individual preferences rather than evidence-based protocols (Avery 2000, Charnock and Evans 2001). The suggestions below have been compiled and highlighted from the literature.
1. Positioning
The patient should be placed in a semi-recumbent position with regular position changes in order to encourage drainage and prevent stiffening of the shoulder joints. These might enhance breathing and expectoration, as well as allowing full lung expansion and possibly preventing complications of prolonged immobilization.
2. Drain patency
Drainage can be impeded by excessive coiling, dependent loops, kinked or blocked tubes, and which potentially might lead to tension pneumothorax or surgical emphysema. The tubing should be lifted regularly to drain the fluid into the collection bottle if the coilings cannot be avoided. The effects of clamping, milking and striping of chest tubes are controversial and are usually not advised. Replacement of tubing is usually advised if blockage is detected. Lung damage from the sharp pressure changes generated during stripping of tubing might be resulted. Although clamping of drains are still observed and practiced in cases where there are no longer any air leakage and when replacement of tubing or bottle is necessary, this is not recommended in the major international guidelines.
3. Observation
Patient's vital signs, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation as well as the presence of tidaling and bubbling in chest drainage system should be closely monitored. Any deterioration or distress of the patient should be reported to the doctors immediately.
4. Pain management
There are currently no definite guidelines on pain assessment and pain control with regard to chest
drainage. The pain could be substantial and might affect coughing, ventilation, sleep as well as re-expansion of the lung. Nurses should be aware of the potential need for prescribed on-demand pain killers or inform clinicians about the possible requirements.
5. Recording and observing drainage
The drainage system should be kept below the patient's chest level to prevent fluid re-entering the pleural space. Volume, color, tidaling, bubbling of drainage fluid and level of suction pressure should be regularly evaluated and recorded on patient's chest drain chart. The frequency of recording will vary depending on the condition of the patients and their underlying disease(s).
6. Drain security and wound management
Using of tape to secure connections has been controversial with no apparent clear recommandation. Some researchers advocated that taping the connections can avoid potential disconnection but others argued that taped tube may mask disconnections. The use of transparent, water-proof and secure tapings might be necessary in a busy and congested ward environment. The insertion site should be checked everyday to ensure that the wound is dry and clean, with no loosen sutures or visible side hole(s) of chest tube (i.e. slipping out). Presence of or increasing surgical emphysema, pus, or excessive bleeding around insertion sites should also be noted.
7. Potentially dangerous conditions that require urgent attention
Large amount of bubbling in the water seal chamber, which might signify a large patient air leak or a leak in a system
Sudden or unexpected cessation of bubbling, which may indicate a blockage in the tubing.
Large amount of bloody discharge might indicate haemothorax or trauma to underlying organ(s)
Increasing dyspnoea, increased heart rate, lowered blood pressure & low oxygen saturation: may signify recurrent pneumothorax (after drain removal) or insufficient drainage or tube blockage
Absence of gentle bubbling in suction control bottle/ chamber may indicate disconnection of the suction pressure or inadequate suction force to counteract the large air leakage.
Nursing management of chest drains is important. A comprehensive understanding of the operations of the chest drain systems and areas requiring special attention would be important to reduce the complications arising from chest tube drainage.

i heard about this, whats the procedure? is it safe and how painful is it? i heard some people also get liposucton done on the calves again how safe is it, how painful and is it worth it? whats the best methods for reducing leg calves? i heard calf reduction can be very dangerous if done wrong yet i want this badly but i don't know what type of surgery i need and how effective it'll be so plz help, thx
Is Calf Reduction Surgery Safe?
Doctor Answers (9)
Another predatory surgical procedure to make women feel self-conscious.
Unfortunately, cosmetic surgery is a business. This means that we surgeons need to drum up business. One way to do that is to pick on people. It makes you feel bad and motivates you to have surgery. Do you really need calf reduction surgery? I have not done a personal assessment of your concerns so it is hard to answer this question. Some calves do hold localized fat and might benefit from local liposuction. Is this procedures risky? It is less forgiving than say liposuction of the thighs. This is also true for the so-called cankle. It can be a very visible area as women tend to show their calves. I am not in favor of injecting the calf with BOTOX to cause muscle atrophy. My message to you would be to learn to love your big calf. If that does not work, find a plastic surgeon who has their head screwed on straight in your area to discuss this type of focal liposuction with.

Liposculpture for Calf Reduction
Calf reduction surgery is safe
Calf reduction can be safe and effective. Many options exist: 1. liposuction 2. gastrocnemius muscle resection 3. radio frequency nerve ablation (similar to no-tox for the face) 4. gastrocnemius neurectomy. Non-surgical options also exist - botox calf injections ( works just as well as botox for facial slimming). Each procedure has its benefits and drawbacks, with gastrocnemius muscle resection having the greatest morbidity and complications. If interested, you should consult a plastic surgeon and see which option is best and safest for you.

Is calf reduction surgery safe?
Reducting the size of ankles (commonly referred to as "cankles") is a safe and effective procedure if done with liposuction by a board certified plastic surgeon. While all surgeries carry some element of risk, this procedure is certainly one of the safest and results are usually wonderful.

Calf reduction
Llposuction calf reduction is possible but the results depend on the quantity of fat and the quality of the skin. Calf reduction via muscle resection is more commonly performed in the Pacific Rim but not is not popular in the USA.
Web reference: http://www.bodysculptor.com/
Calf reduction surgery
If you are asking about liposuction, this is possible. I would not recommend any other procedue to debulk the calf muscles.
Liposuction of the calves is a safe procedure
Liposuction of the calve and ankle area is not an uncommon procedure and when performed by a board certified Plastic surgeon is very safe. I have not seen any complications from this procedure. It can be done for asymmetry or as a cosmetic procedure for enlarged calves. It will also help for those who have difficulty fitting into certain types of footwear such as ski boots. Find someone who has experience with the procedure.
Calf Reduction Sugery
Calf reduction surgery is not as common as breast implants or tummy tucks. However, there are some patients that would benefit from liposuction of the lower legs / calves if they are good candidates. Without pictures or examining you, it is impossible to know if you are a good candidate. Good luck.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
Calf reduction surgery
Surgery below the knee can have much higher risks, complications, and unsatisfactory results. That is why it is not a common part of most plastic surgical practices. I have no personal experience, however, I would be extremely wary, as this area is very difficult to treat with reductional surgery.

"Hi, is the desk's hutch reversible?" asked by Hilda
Bestar Manhattan U-Shaped Workstation
Very nice office furniture
Erik from Mc Farland, WI– Verified Buyer
The product arrived on time as promised. Definitely need two people to assemble this furniture. Took much longer than the instructions noted to assemble, but was well worth the time. Looks great in our home office.
Love the Style
Holly from Hendersonville, TN– Verified Buyer
was easy to follow directions... it's a massive desk so does take a few hours to assemble.... best done with help. I love the look and design of the desk.
Very nice for home office
Jobany from Adelphi, MD– Verified Buyer
I purchased this product for my home office and I'm very pleased with it. The assembly instructions aren't the best in the world, and one has to be careful to use the correct screws, but it's do-able. I assembled this product in about 8 hours and all by myself. It would have been easier with someone else to help in lifting the hutch on top of the credenza, but I managed to do it alone, and I was lucky I didn't break anything. The top of the table, bridge and credenza is very fine, solid wood, but the rest seems cheap and fragile. But, for the price, it looks awesome. This unit can be assembled with the bridge to the right, or to the left, or even an L-shaped with the credenza and the table by itself.

The Anderjack
|House Width
|7' x 2'
|House Length
|House Height
|11' 2"
|Dry Weight
|4000 lbs
|Ceiling Height
|Loft Height
This little structure measures in at just 99 square feet, not including the porch. Its entrance is flanked by two massive columns which, together with the generously sized purlin, eave and window trim, place the building squarely in the Craftsman tradition.
The exterior dimensions are approximately 7' wide x 16' long. The porch adds another 2' to the length. At the roof line, the Anderjack is 9'6" wide and 20' long; and it stands at 11'2" tall (not including the foundation). The downstairs has a ceiling height of 6'6", and the loft height is 3'.
About the Backyard Bungalow models
Undue expense and red tape have been cut to keep the Backyard Bungalows user friendly and affordable. Most municipalities mandate that a permit is not required to put a building of less than 120 square feet on your property, though you'd want to check with your local building and zoning departments to be sure. While you're at it, see if there are any setback requirements that govern where a structure can be set or how it can officially be used.
Our plans include a foundation on concrete footings, but the foundation choices are limitless.
Finishing the interior
Once you've got a shell, the interior fittings and finishes are entirely up to you. It can be used as a tiny house, backyard bedroom, office, yoga retreat, or artist studio.
A sleeping loft can be set on the collar ties overhead with ease, or you may choose to put a bed down stairs. You can also consider a Murphy bed or other foldaway furniture. Including a lot of storage is a great way to open up the area as much as possible for a sense of volume. Built-ins are also a great way to maximize space.

Burlington, Vermont - August 20, 2010
Federal prosecutors continue to build their case against accused killer Michael Jacques.
Jacques allegedly raped and murdered 12-year-old Brooke Bennett of Braintree in 2008.
Federal prosecutors now want Jacques' history as a sexual predator to be outlined for jurors if and when the case goes to trial, saying it's justification for the death penalty. However Jacques' lawyers say any testimony about his criminal history should be barred because it would demonize him in the eyes of jurors.
Click here for complete coverage of the Brooke Bennett case.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.
