pefect jean cardigan statement blouse plain white tee The plain white tee is the one item on the essentials list that cost next to nothing, but makes ones of the loudest statements. Just like denim, the simple tee has been picked up by many designers who offer the 'T-shirt of the moment' at a wildly expensive price. However, nothing beats a Hanes three pack, not even that $200 T- shirt. Today's trend in white t shirts is 'the softer, the better.' Better known as Tissue fabric, these ultra thin tees are the most popular style to have. The tissue look is inspired by vintage tops, so the cheaper option would be to buy all your plain tees from resale shops and thrift stores. The beauty of shopping thrift, is you know the t shirts are already worn in for you! A garment that evokes a cool ease and casualness should't be your most expensive piece. Besides Hanes, who pioneered the T-shirt industry, there are tons of designers going the sportswear direction. James Perse is known for his super soft knits, his ulta T-shirts can be accounted for starting the designer T-shirt craze. When buying your T-Shirt, pay careful attention to the neckline, which shouldn't be too high or too low. Tee's should not be skin tight, instead they should hang loosely on the body. A plain white tee can play down a suit or any party dress. The key to rocking the T Shirt is that it must look effortless. "I've always thought of the T-shirt as the alpha and the omega of the fashion alphabet." - Giorgio Armani

perfect skirt white button up The white button up is both crisp and clean, a style essential for every women. Worn with a suit, this piece screams professionalism but worn open over a dress, the white button transforms into a sexy but smart garment. The white button can be worn with a menswear inspired flair which is oversized and overtly sexual or the classic tapered women's version for a mature and classic look. This piece comes are every price point from Walmart to J.crew and beyond. The buttons and notions on your button up should be plain and simple so as to not detract from your accessories. The most classic buttons will look like mother of pearl. Of course material is important, go for an organic cotton, silk or fine linen. The white button has had it's share of historical moments as well. in 1990, Julia Roberts immortalized the look in her breakout hit, Pretty Women. Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction made the oversized button up and cropped black pant a timeless look. In 1998, Sharon Stone hit the runway of the 70th Annual Academy Awards in a classic white button up from the Gap paired with a glitzy Vera Wang evening skir

white button up dress pant statement blouse The statement blouse is the opportunity to express yourself through color and pattern. A blousey shirt in a sheer but quality fabric looks great over casual skinny jeans, a sexy black pencil skirt or for an office look, paired with your dress pants. Its important to choose a blouse that is made from quality fabrics. This piece is extremely versatile which means you'll be wearing a lot and in many different ways, so a sturdy yet soft fabric is important. Many sheer blouses are inspired by the bohemian style of the 1970's. During this time, sheer printed fabrics were extremely popular. If you choose a long sleeve blouse, make sure you're arms are comfortable and you can move easily. Putting your arms out in front of you and over your head is a good test of comfortability. When choosing a color or print, make sure you compliment your favorite feature. If you have glowing green eyes, a royal purple top will make you stand out in the crowd. If you have fiery red hair, a turquoise blouse will make you pop. No matter what blouse you choose, this is your chance to be expressive and exciting with your style.

cardigan plain white tee perfect skirt
Girly skirts paired with a structured top will always conjure up images powerful femininity. The perfect skirt has the power to add sophistication or fun to any outfit. A women's legs are one of her sexist assets, so flaunting them is always encouraged. A little leg, goes a long way so micro mini skirts just look tasteless. Skirt lengths depend on your comfort level but generally the hem should hit just above or below the knee. Skirts are most flattering with tall heels because they continue to elongate the leg, but riding boots offer a more casual option. Skirts should always be at your natural waist line to show off the smallest part of your body. If choosing a pencil skirt, make sure there is a vent in order to easily move around throughout the day. Stretchy fabric will keep you comfortable for hours. Patterned skirts or bright colored ones offer fun ways to spice up your wardrobe.

cardigan wrap dress
in the 1970's, Diane Von Furstenberg designed the wrap dress and forever immortalized the piece as a fashion must have. DVF began to experiment with silk jersey making dancers wrap tops. From there she began adding sleeves to the tops and eventually transformed the dance wear into the now infamous warp dress. in 1975, DVF had sold more than five million of the dresses. The wrap dress is perfect for every shape; the cinched waist detail is flatter figuring no matter your size. Hugging in all the right places, the sash plays up a women's best asset and hides all the rest. The wrap dress should always be a jersey material, which enhances a women's curves in the best way. Printed wrap dresses add some sass to your wardrobe. Because the silhouette is timeless, your patterns can be as outgoing as you want! This dress can be styled in many different ways. Pair it with stilettos or tall boots for a night on the town or flats for a daytime look. "I design for the woman, who loves begin a woman." -Diane Von Furstenberg

little black dress blazer
One of the many items women stole from their male counterparts, the blazer is a perfect blend of masculine and feminine. Often worn with skinny jeans and a comfy tee, this piece makes for effortless style, both formal and casual. Chic options for silhouettes are the shrunken blazer, the oversized blazer or the deconstructed blazer. When purchasing a vintage blazer there are some keys factors to note. Make sure all the buttons are working or still in tact. Sleeves should fall at the heel of your hand. However if you're looking for a trendier option, sleeves can be an inch longer or 3/4 length. The shoulder seams should be at the outer edge of your shoulder for the perfect fit. As for length, it is all based on style preference, a classic blazer will hit just at the hip but for a more stylish look, cropped or oversized blazers are on trend. For a final fit test lift your arms above your head and in front of you, the blazer should not restrict, but move with you.For an instant classic look, throw on a blazer with any outfit and youll be ready to take on the day.

pefect white tee blazer black dress pant
In 1938, starlet Katharine Hepburn stepped onto the set of Breaking up Baby wearing wide leg trousers and instantly started a fashion craze. The executives on the film asked her to stop wearing pants because they thought it was harming her reputation as a sex symbol, but she refused. One day her pants mysteriously disappeared from her dressing room so Hepburn walked around set in nothing but her underwear until her trousers were returned. Katharine Hepburn is a pioneer in menswear inspired style. Without her retaliation, the boyfriend jean and so many other styles would not exist.Women began wearing menswear pieces like the dress pant because it offered them a sense of freedom from the sexist times but still allowed them to be both stylish and glamorous. If your dress pants have a wide-leg, make sure to wear a fitted top in order to balance out the look. Cuffed pants with a slightly longer hem are important if you wear sky high heels.Unless you're going for a vintage look, flat fronts pants and much more flattering than pleated. Black, camel, white or pinstripe are the most widely endearing styles. A classic dress pant has the power to turn you into a 'take no prisoners' business woman. "I like to move fast, and wearing high heels was tough and low heels with a skirt is unattractive. So pants took over." -Katharine Hepburn

One of the simpliest essentials, is the now the item of the moment. Hundreads of designer denim brands are fighting for our attention. However, the best jeans are old and worn in, nothing feels better than slipping into your go to pair of jeans. Denim was first invented during the Gold Rush of 1853 when those going west needed a more durable fabric for sifting through mud in search of riches. Leo Strauss, of Levi Strauss, created a waxed canvas he called denim and with that created an empire in fashion.Picking denim can be a daunting and sometimes frusturating task. It's imporatnt to fucous on fit and not on the size, once youve found the best fit, stick with it no matter the brand name. The average American owns 8.3 pairs of jeans , but everyone women has that one pair that instantly makes them feel sexy. There are four types of denim buyers out there. The classicist who trusts her 501's with her heart. The Fashion Follower who is contantly buying the hottest denim brands like True Religion and Joe's Jeans.The Euro shops for designers jeans only, such as Gucci and Versace. The eco buyer wears only environmentally friendly denim like Rogan and Edun. Because of this, the denim buying process tends to be overwhelming, however denim is not about the label but about the fit and feeling. When purchasing your jeans, look for ones with stretch so that they naturally fit to your body. Consider breaking out of the box with black or colored denim, which is a trendier option. Expect to have your jeans tailored, finding the perfect fit is rare but bringing them to a tailor ensures longevity. Make sure you try on every brand, style and size; whatever makes you feel the sexiest is your perfect jean.

statement blouse pefect skirt cardigan Oversized cardigans are the best way to keep warm and cozy without slipping into sweatpants. The cardigan made its first high fashion appearance on the Marc Jacobs runway in his infamous grunge collections. The sweaters were styled with flannels, combat boots and flirty skirts. The cardigan began its long life as a style essential in 1854. During this time, the seventh Earl of Cardigan was looking for an extra layer of warmth during the Crimean War, and from that the cardigan sweater was born. The best version of this oversized look will have four buttons with two pockets in the front. Major retailers like H&M and Neiman Marcus carry a wide variety of cardigans, but discovering one at a thrift store ensures you're buying a unique piece. Cardi's can be worn over a soft tee or dress with a belt to add shape. Contrasting the grundy sweater with floral prints adds stylish appeal.

One cannot simply find the perfect LBD, it finds them when they least expect it. Just like denim, it's all about your body type and style preference. Some of fashions greatest moments were in little black dresses. Coco Chanel can be thanked for creating the essential piece which was an instant success. In 1961, Audrey Hepburn wore the famed Givenchy LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany's which sold for $920,909 at auctions in 2006. In 1994, the little black dress got a grungy upgrade when Elizabeth Hurley dawned a Versace LBD with large gold safety pins holding it together at the sides.the LBD will instantly take you from frumpy to fashion forward.

text: It has been a while since I wrote on my blog. I guess I have been resisting falling into the deep endless hole that is social media. Yet, I feel it is time for me to share my thoughts and feelings. Watching what was going on in Israel with Hamas was so painful that I felt my heart crying. On so many levels, I was concerned, frightened and sad. I had done extensive research for my book, And So It Was Written. After that research, I weaved a fictional story around a time in Jewish history when the Jews defeated the Roman Empire by building underground tunnels. 2,000 years ago the Jews constructed tunnels that were then supplied with enough food and water to sustain them underground for extended periods of time. The Jews would attack the Romans and then retreat to those tunnels and caves. When I wrote my book, all of this was fascinating: a brilliant war strategy but most certainly irrelevant today. How stupidly wrong I was! I do not want to be a pessimist. I have never given up hope on humanity. How could I when the Survivors of the Holocaust that I befriended still had love in their hearts? But I feel I must say the following: In medieval times the Muslims came into power in Spain and offered the Christians and Jews a choice; convert or die. Never mind that they were defeated and then the Christians came to power and offered the Muslims and the Jews the choice to convert or die. I do not mean to offend my many Christian and Muslim friends. This is all factual, as sad as it is. ARE WE GOING TO LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN?

As I scanned through various news channels and the Weather channel all weekend, one couldn't help but see all of the pieces of footage from that fateful day, August 29th, when winds and rain ripped through the Gulf Coast leaving behind mass destruction that claimed the lives of 1800 people.
I had just started at The Salvation Army as the Director of Volunteer Services when this storm made landfall and had zero experience in how to handle a disaster let alone manage volunteer teams to assist. I remember we all gathered in our conference room, our Area Commander at the time Major Ronnie Raymer at the helm and he quickly went over the details of the storm. He went on to explain that many folks evacuated and were being diverted to various cities across the US, one of the stops was Nashville. Major explained that many would be here on our doorstep seeking supplies, a place to sleep or gas cards to enable them to head back home for those who didn't ride a bus here.
My phone immediately rung off the hook with people from all over Tennessee wanted to head down to the Gulf Coast with our disaster team. I jotted down everyone's information advising that we could only send so many people every two weeks, but would keep them on the list. Soon enough our lobby was brimming over with folks who narrowly escaped the clutches of the storm. Everyone had disorietnted looks as they sat with their children, quietly whispering that everything's going to be ok. All of the staff gathered and we quickly put a schedule together with everyone working in shifts to interview each family and assess what the needs were. We kept this kind of schedule from early in the morning to the evening and on Saturday and Sunday as well. We worked with the clients out of our dining room and library, setting up a small store of donated items from companies all over Nashville including Dollar General Corporation who provided us with a truck load of health and beauty products, towels and socks. Several volunteers came out and put together kits for all of the families who came through which generally amounted to 100 a day.
For weeks, we all interviewed and met so many people who left their homes with nothing but the clothes on their back. I had little girls who were so excited to get a brand new outfit to change into and pretty pink bows to put in their hair. Story after story was told as each one of us worked our shifts completing the necessary paperwork and assisting with what we could. One story that stuck out was a gentleman whose real name was Precious. He explained that as the storm was nearing he ran as quick as he could to the nursing home where his wife was a resident so she wouldn't be alone. It appeared when he got there that everyone had gone, but his sweet wife was still there refusing to leave without her soulmate. He said that as the waters began to rise he would carry her up to higher elevations within the building until they finally reached the attic. There they sat in each other's arms until he heard the Coast Guard shout through the vent if anyone was in there. They were rescued and he said they were flown by helicopter to Nashville where his wife was taken to a very nice nursing home outside of the city. He said that, "he was never more happy to see the rolling hills of Tennessee than he was that day." Precious shared how grateful he was to have been rescued.
Thank you to all of the agencies who banded together to help our fellow neighbors, to all of the corporations and companies who donated the needed items or money to meet the need and to the countless numbers of volunteers who gave of their precious time. Because of you, The Salvation Army was able to come to the aide of thousands not only along the Gulf Coast, but also here in Nashville, TN. And even though the" Winds Have Died Down" there is still a wave of help that continues to flow!

Pray for me! :)
So I haven't gotten a chance to write much since I've been so busy reading all my emails (okay, as well as all the other things that go along with life)…Just wanted to ask you all to please pray for me! I have had this really bad sore throat for over a week and it really hurts – I haven't been eating much since it's too painful. I know, I'm just a big baby (that's what my mom would say, to paraphrase:) ) but anyways, I just got an antibiotic yesterday and my coworker who had this before me told me it takes like 4 days for the antibiotic to really kick in! 😦 I don't want this for 4 more days!
Okay, that's it, I'll be back to posting library stories in a day or two, I have a few good ones. – So don't abandon me. 🙂

Top Foods for your Skin, Hair, and Hails
When the improvement of hair, skin, and nails is discussed, a lot of people think about using products that are readily available for purchase in stores, but most of which contain artificial ingredients, chemicals, and synthetic materials. And while it's no secret that most of them indeed can provide some improvement, there's no such thing as a miraculous one that does everything.
But what's really sad about trying to maintain a desirable physical appearance is that many people, probably including you, don't realize that all we need is to eat the right food to get the perks most of us hope to get from using products stuffed and sold in bottles.
So, here's a list of the most common natural foods that contribute to healthier hair, skin, and nails, and obviously the best thing about them is that they're readily available for you to incorporate them in your diet.
1 – Hemp
If you're not familiar with hemp seeds, then you're missing out on something very helpful for you. The seeds aren't just rich in protein, they also are known to be one of the best sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, both of which are essential for keeping the skin moisturized and hydrated. Also, there's a new product called CBD vape oil coming from hemp that is widely popular for use in the treatment of people who suffer from stress, anxiety, and depression.
2 – Spinach
Spinach is good for your hair, nails, and skin because it contains a lot of beta carotene, which the body will then convert into vitamin A that reduces the signs of aging as well as deterioration.
3 – Fish
When it comes to fish, you should know that not all varieties are good for you. If you need extra omega-3 fatty acids for a healthier skin, hair, and nails, you need to consider fatty fish like anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and salmon.
4 – Eggs
It's no secret that eggs are one of the most versatile sources of nutrients out there. Yes, they're popular protein sources, but what you might not be aware of is that they also have sulfur in them, a certain nutrient that the body needs in order to produce keratin and collagen, both of which are essential for maintaining good health for your skin, hair, and nails.
5 – Tomatoes
It is easy to say that everyone knows how beneficial tomatoes are for the skin. Tomatoes are known to be very rich in anti-oxidants, which means that they are more than able to provide sufficient protection for your skin against sun damage.
Aside from those five, find time to integrate other foods that are known to provide improvement in your skin, hair, and nails, including garlic, blueberries, bell peppers, avocadoes, and walnuts.

Filed under: Life
And why am I so frustrated by facing a learning curve? I like the decide-to-do-it-and-immediately-know-how method of life. I struggle with patience (ya think?) and don't seem to be great at asking for help. So sue me.
I just want some nice pictures in my blog, and pingbacks and trackbacks and what not, all the good stuff, with little or no effort on my part. Not that writing and pic-taking, which are the easy parts for me, should be discounted on the effort scale. But, see, I don't really knit so far, mainly because I didn't pick it up as fast as I picked up crochet. However, I have knit one gaggly double-bulky strand scarf (wider/looser at one end than the other), and I do have my crochet challenges, yesiree bobby. You'll read more about those here at Lara's World, if you stick around.
And singing, of course can be frustrating and challenging, but the rewards are amazing, and I guess it's all in how you look at it in the end, whether or not you can get caught up blissfully in the sensuality and bliss of each moment of the journey…blithely eschewing the destination-slash-results. Which brings me to the fact that the end result is only one moment itself, and can't really be a long-term status, if you follow me. If you're only thinking about the bottom line moment, what do you do with the other 97% of your time? Allowing the journey to be sacred opens up your whole experience, and is, I think, in fact, (get your cheap commas here), the truth about what experience is in its natural state.
Still wish I could just post thumbnails linking to my photobucket pics. 😡

is it possible?drz125 bike
most likely, if its universal, you should be able to drill holes and fit it in easy. if its bike specific, then check up in the dimensions, it might still work (but you might need to make new holes), you dont want to go to big because the rear end of the fender might hit the frame. hope this helps!

I started volunteering at my local Oxfam bookshop purely by accident, or maybe it was fate.
After many changes in my life the last year I found myself living a a city for the first time and single for the first time in many years. I was a bit like a fish very much out of water. I have also been unemployed for nearly two years and up until June this year I felt pretty much on the scrap heap!
At my employment advisers suggestion about getting some self worth back into my life as I was getting pretty depressed (another time perhaps), I started looking into any volunteering opportunities in my local area. To start with I volunteered a few hours a week at my local Arthritis Research Charity shop. Finally I felt as if I had something in my life worth doing. It was great to meet some new people, have a laugh and generally get me out of the day to day rut I had up till then called life.
A new found friend (a neighbour) found out that I was quite keen to volunteer and mentioned that he volunteered at a local Oxfam Bookshop. Now I didn't even know that Oxfam had specialist shops and as quite an avid reader I was very keen to find out more. At his suggestion I visited the shop and had a chat with the wonderful woman that is manager there. We hit it off straight away and I found myself in the shop the rest of the day, starting to learn the routine. Before I knew where I was I was volunteering three days a week!
The thing I've found with volunteering is not what you might expect though. Oh sure it's a fantastic feeling when you know that you are giving something that costs nothing, time, especially when you have so much of it to give. It's also a pretty fantastic feeling when you realise that these few hours out of your week is helping so many of the worlds poor and underprivileged. For me though it has given me something I never expected, a feeling of self worth. Just the feelings of being valued, trusted as a team leader to do the right thing. The chance to meet normal, everyday people, talk about life's irrelevancies and generally feel like a normal, everyday person.
I would advise anyone that is unemployed, especially if you've started to feel a bit useless, to find a local charity, whether it be a shop or other community charity and get volunteering! You'll be helping yourself just as much as you will be helping others.
So I'd like to thank Oxfam for helping me find my path in life once again as much as it helps the worlds poorest in finding theirs.

Oct. 3 – Oct. 9, 1944
Oct. 3 — Went to Dixmude to see the rear party. An Orchestra came down and played for a dance given by AGRA. I spent the night in the hospital with Hans Geggie.
Oct. 4 — Drove him to Eecloo, arriving here just in time for lunch. Not awfully busy but by appearances, we are preparing for a big drive. The roads are filled with artillery and troops seem to be coming from all directions. This afternoon Brig. Fenwick paid us a visit. Tonight we had a picture show in the big school hall.

Today, I took my three children to the water park. Now, that's a lot of work when doing it single-handedly! Three to one! It's mentally challenging and physically engaging. At one point, I told my older two children they had to stay together in the wave pool because I only had two eyes, one to watch them and one to watch Luke!
Lindsay, Logan, Luke (and I) had a blast! We swam in the pool and played in fountains of water. We jumped over waves, zoomed down slides, splashed each other, and laughed a lot. Lindsay and Logan even carried inner tubes up a tall flight of steps to ride down a twisty tube…four times!
When we spend days like this at the park, we love to go home and shower, put Luke down for a much needed nap, and make fruit smoothies. The fun doesn't end when we leave the park. We go home for a smoothie and a movie. The kids pick a movie to watch and enjoy their cool drink!
It was a beautiful, sunny day, and I am so thankful I could spend the day playing with my children and having summer fun! We are building memories together! In fact, I can still feel those waves right now!

What I've learned from painting a day
or...what I've learned about my Brush...
5.5 x 12 x 1 inches
painted on reverse side as well
acrylic on wood
This is my 97th painting and one of the things that has happed over the previous months is that I have fallen in love with my paintbrush- with THIS paintbrush.(Don't ask me to choose between my paintbrush and my husband). I look for the brush at the begining of each day. I love the feel of it in my hand and the way the bristles hold and let go of the paint. One day it slipped and fell into the emergency brake lever fringed opening. It was only through breathless skill I was able to extract it. I have come to believe that this brush determines the success or failure of a picture! From it's tip I have challenged myself to try new things and yet I have seen how chickens fall out of it...and, to a lesser extent, so do the swooping backbones of cows, the rounded jaws of cats, the handles and clasps of suitcases. This is a tribute to the brush that got me on my way to 100 daily paintings in a row!

27 October 2014
The story of Monday is that it is a Monday.
The alarm went off at 6:30 AM and I woke up in pain. Roller skating two days before finally caught up with me. I hit snooze twice and was late getting into the shower, which set the tone for the entire day. I had a fight with my work bag, which stubbornly refused to allow me to put anything into it. However, I did manage to make it to work on time.
At work, it was a day of computer issues and general unhappiness with my job. I am in a new position, which is the old one I had. The company I work for is going through growing pains and my department was one that was cut. So I am back doing what I did before (with the hourly wage to go along with it). I am good at what I do, but I've come to accept that it really is just a job. It will never be a career. I am by nature a pretty loyal person, but I have grown disillusioned with the work I do and the people I work with. I really want to be doing something else with my life.
So the story of Monday is trying to understand why I am not doing something else with my life. When did I let go of the dreams I had for myself? When did I abandon my ambition and fearlessness? When did mediocrity become the norm? And why is that okay?
I always thought I could be more than I am. Why is that not how it is? How do I teach my girls to avoid the same trap? Because that is all I feel I can do now. It's may be too late for me, but I am going to do my best to make damn sure Ella and Sophie become the very best versions of themselves.
I think it starts with being present. Not allowing distractions to keep me from connecting with my beautiful daughters on an intimate level. By showing them that they are truly and deeply loved for all that they are, flaws and all. And by helping them understand that their story matters. This is why I find the concept of Project Life so valuable. Our 2014 PL album is not only a visual reminder of our year, it is all of the small stories that make up who they are and who they will become.
One day Ella and Sophie will look back at this week and see pictures of themselves at 10 and 9 years old. Ella played clarinet in her first 5th grade band concert, Sophie had a book report due. Jason works third shift now, so we are able to eat dinner as a family each night. We watch football and the Voice together.
It may be the minutiae of life and they may scoff at Mama taking pictures all the time and shoving them in an album, but they will know they are loved.

I am very excited for our vacation trip together with three of my sister-in-laws and their family in California next month. I know that this trip will be awesome because we had been preparing this for many months. We will be going to one of the many beaches in San Diego, California and oh boy my nephews are ecstatic because they wanted to ride their surfing board.
I really wanted to learn on how to ride the surfing board because it looks very challenging, exciting and just for the heck of it you know. Anyways, my nephew J and his brothers are telling me that they actually need to put Future Fins in their surf boards to help them navigate easier.
Likewise, I am so super excited with this trip because I will make a surprise visit to my Aunt and Uncle who lived in San Diego, California for many years. They are a relative from my father's side of the family. My Aunt and Uncle were the first one to call me when I first moved from the Philippines to the US last 2006.
Anyways, hopefully this trip will be a good start for our future vacation together with my husband's side of the family.
"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over it became a butterfly". Join me as I walk through this wonderful journey of my so called life.

Diabetes Management in Phase II Recovery
Hi Nurses!
So I have a question about diabetes management in Phase 2 recovery of the ambulatory surgical patient. It seems to be standard of cafe in Phase 1 (PACU) to get a POCT blood sugar upon admission and treat hyperglycemia if it is greater than 200 or 300 depending on the anesthesiologist.
In Phase II or post-op, is it the standard of care to immediately recheck the blood sugar upon admission to Phase II?
My practice and the nurses practice who I work with in Phase two has been to check the blood sugar only on patients who are symptomatic, the patient states they "feel" like their blood sugar is high, OR if a doctor's order is in place such as AC/HS.
Further, if a patient is symptomatic, i.e. polyuria, and you do recheck the BS and is elevated, and the family and the patient refuse the insulin, the nurse informs the doctor, does this fall back on the nurse, the physician, or the family?
There seems to be a confusion with one of our new managers on a unit I work at Per Diem and she is trying to place blame on the nurse. I've attempyed to research ASPAN guidelines but I am unable to find anything specific to Phase 2 recovery. Your opinions and links to articles would be helpful.
Thank you!
About AnnoyedNurse
Joined: Dec '16; Posts: 63; Likes: 85Feb 18I'm so confused. I've worked ambulatory surgery for 17 years.
First of all, how can blood sugar be AC/ HS in ambulatory surgery? Where I've worked nurses have been threatened with incident reports if the patient stays over 2 hours in phase II, and our "meal" is juice and crackers.
Our only protocol is what anesthesia orders. It can vary per different anesthesiologist. But most of them know out patient surgery is not the place to change or "manage" a patient's diabetes.
Unless it is almost critically out of control, (in which case they would be transferred to an in patient facility), the patient is sent home as long as it is within a somewhat normal range for that patient. We occasionally call the patient's primary care physician to let them know their patient's sugar was running high.
I don't understand what the nurse is being blamed for? The nurse informs the doctor the patient refused insulin, end of story.
What does your new manager want the nurse to do? Force the patient to take insulin?
I'm so confused.
Our anesthesiologist reason that in most cases the patient has been managing their diabetes for many years. The anesthesiologist is not going change the patients own routine of care when the have only known and interacted with the patient for a few short hours.
Maybe I'm not understanding your situation, I'm still confused.Last edit by brownbook on Feb 18Feb 18We're also very confused why our manager is blaming this nurse. This patient happened to have an ACHS order in place and that's why she checked it. Otherwise she would not have checked it.Feb 18Your manager sounds like an idiot. If it becomes a frequent issue could you ask your medical director to discuss the issue with her?Feb 18Why or who would order AC/HS for an ambulatory surgery patient? Did the patient come with those orders from another facility?
My first out patient ambulatory surgery job was in a clinic that was part of the acute care in patient hospital. Sometimes we'd get these patients. Did this patient come from something like that?Feb 18This patient was supposed to be admitted but since surgery went well, the doctor decided admission was no longer necessary, and the ACHS order remained even though she was no longer being admitted.
To add to the situation- our manager is trying to say that we must check blood sugars on ALL DIABETIC PATIENTS upon admission to Phase 2 recovery. She's obviously wrong. I'm going to bring it up in our shaded governance committee and if she persists that she wants to mandate this be standard, I'll escalate to our medical director. Thanks for the suggestion!Feb 19I know next to nothing about billing patients. But if a patient or their insurance is charged for POCT without a doctor's order that could be an issue.
I think insurance companies won't cover a procedure that does NOT have a doctor's order.
A POCT must be ordered by a doctor! A nurse can't arbitrarily order one. Only if a policy or protocol covers it.
You and I would probably be shocked at how much a POCT costs.Last edit by brownbook on Feb 19Feb 19In my experience Anesthesia manages blood glucose in the PACU setting. Typically an outpatient with diabetes will get a POCT on admission to Phase I. Depending on the results there may or may not be insulin coverage ordered. If insulin is ordered, anesthesia may want a recheck after an hour or they may be fine with feeding and sending the patient home. It's the doctor's call.
Sometimes I may ask for an order for a blood glucose check if a patient is particularly slow to awaken. I've seen BG in the teens a couple of times. IV glucose perks them right up. Moderately low BG can be addressed with snacks in Phase II.Feb 22I don't see any "right" or "wrong" here. The standard of care here is whatever your facility deems important enough to warrant performing. In a few hospitals I worked, any diabetic was absolutely checked for blood sugar levels upon arrival to PACU. All of our diabetic patients had standing orders for a blood glucose if symptomatic. But unit policy spelled out the circumstances to draw it upon arrival. We didn't in phase II unless symptomatic, but if your boss has a different plan and there is policy/procedures that reinforce that plan then that is the standard of care at your hospital.Feb 22Djmatte- Thanks for your insight. I did clarify with our Senior manager that blood sugar checks upon admission to Phase II is NOT the standard. But to state that just because my boss has a plan in her mind makes it the standard contradicts the very basis of evidence based practice. If the hospital has a policy that is not the standard, then we still follow it because it's hospital policy. If there is no specific policy, then we follow the standards based on evidence. In this situation, there is no policy that states we must check blood sugar on every single diabetic upon admission to Phase II- only when symptomatic or there exists another reason such as an Provider order or holding the patient for a long period of time and having to provide them a tray; therefore I was looking for more insight based on the practice of others if supported by literature. (Phase I it is mandated by the standards set forth by ASPAN and ASA).

This is my second successive post about the Financial and economic crisis that is supposedly engulfing the world. And I have quite surprised myself. I have been driven up the wall by all the Financial doomsday scenarios being floated around. The final conclusion of all debates and discussions on television ultimately end at one conclusion- that we will all run out of money, and will have to kill ourselves. Well, I don't think so.
If some people are to be believed, and then compared with the scenarios of the previous years, means we have been in an economic recession for the last 15 years, at least.
Ever since I have been able to articulate stuff in my head, I have heard a similar kind of ranting from people, particularly from one variety. The shopkeepers, wholesalers, small businesses, big businesses and large corporations, have, ever since I was born, been cribbing about the fact that the market is slo, they are not making any profits, and that the future is bleak. Same thing over the last 15 years? really? We should all have been living the jungles of Somalia by now, covered in premium priced leaves. Well, that would have given rise to communism. Hang on a minute, don't we have that here already? Anyway, moving on.
I don't believe that there is a grave economic crisis that we haven't already faced before, if there is one right now. But for the present situation, I have two institutions to blame.
1. The Banks- These giant multinational Cash washing machines had been living out of their means for years. Trust me, if you spend more than you earn, you will be in the jungles of Somalia in no time, practising Communism. These organizations set up huge offices, full of people, who have no clue what the person next to them is doing. I suggest you all go to the nearest bank with some problem. It is my guarantee that at least 3 people will converge upon you and will try to solve your problem, without much success. Why do we need three people to solve what one person can do? All they do is read out the text from their computer. But all three draw their salaries. Multiply this in a multinational scenario. What a waste of money all around. Secondly, these banks had been paying with, and making us pay for money that did not exist. They gave out loans like a there was no tomorrow. People who were not credit worthy obviously defaulted. Hence, the bank, which had paid with non-existent money, was left with an even bigger negative margin on its account books. Still not learning the lesson, they gave out credit cards like leaflets at the enterance of a shopping mall. What really iritates me is the way by which banks deemed you worthy of a credit card. If you have an existing credit card (the more the better, they think), and managed to run up huge bills on it, they then believe you should have another one. And another. And another. I mean, if a person has a salary of Rs 1 Lac per month, and has a bill of Rs 60,000 on one credit card, how is he credit worthy for another card? Won't he also spend the rest Rs 40,000 somewhere as well. Then he is left with zilch. He defaults. The recovery agents are called in, and the entertainment begins. Multiply all this by the number of banks operational, and the number of countries they operate in. It will all add up to a huge number, possibly with a lot of zeros towards the end, of sheer stupidity.
Who makes policies at these banks? What are the MBA's being taught and fed these days? No wonder they are shutting down.
2. The Media- they really have nothing to do. They spend their nights reading a newspaper searching for story ideas, and end up the next day doing something completely un-intellectual. Probably they are reading the Times Of India. I would advice them to change the newspaper. For the media, everything is a crisis. Arushi murder case was a crisis of our social system, anytime a BMW has an accident the human survival is in crisis, anytime India loose a test match the entire form of test match cricket is in crisis. These days, someone has given them a calculator, and a few sheets of paper, and unfortunately for us, they have started playing with numbers. My God. Now every news channel is continuously harping on about the economy. Day and night. And day again. And Night again as well. It was heartening to see someone tell them to their faces, on live tv, what I had been saying for the last few days. Dr. Amit Mitra, last night on Headlines Today, tore into the channel for having no other news to show and thus unnecessarily shouting Economic crisis. Dr Mitra is a very learned man, and when he says this on live tv, to none other than Rahul Kanwal, is a sight to enjoy, for people like me. Dr Mitra also gave the example of the reduction in salaries, and the removal of about 15,000 SAIL employees lat month. Did you know about that? No. Because the news channels did not deem it fancy enough to show it. But they thought the pretty faces of the laid off Jet crew would be a nice sight on our tv channels. So they went on all day and night, being 24 hour channels, telling is in every sentence that we all will also loose our jobs, and will ultimately have to live in the jungles of Somalia.
Look, I fully sympathise with all the unfortunate people who have lost their jobs, but the point I am trying to make here is about the tv channels. It is indeed very shocking and sad that Jet would do something of this sort.
Even today, when I go to a shopping mall, I see the same number of people roaming the corridors of discounts and sales, as they were 3 months ago. I still find the same number of people walk out with shopping bags, as they were 3 months ago. There is still a shortage of parking in the markets across the city. Same number of people still throng the various markets for their shopping.
The news of markets being slow in terms of sales, and that your friendly neighbourhood shopkeeper is not making a profit, are all a bunch of lies. Like I had said earlier, it is trader tendency to label markets as slow and find the profits as less. So, I suggest you do not unnecessarily worry, because no amount will ever be enough for them.

text: PHILADELPHIA — Fifteen-term Congressman Joseph M. McDade was indicted Tuesday on federal charges of accepting bribes from defense contractors. McDade has represented the 10th Congressional District in northeastern Pennsylvania since 1962. For the past decade, he has been the ranking Republican on the House Appropriations Committee. McDade, 61, is unopposed in his bid for a 16th term. The indictment charges him with racketeering, conspiracy and accepting illegal gratuities. It alleges that from 1983 to 1988, McDade got bribes and illegal gratuities in return for his influence in obtaining government contracts.

Skeptical, I entered the SF Wine Trading Company to witness a mad rush of people with glasses feverishly trying to taste 25 wines/20 different varietals. That's a lot for a Friday night, especially since most folks were drinking, not tasting, if you know what I mean.
Still, good fun – sport even, trying to find a find from Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Spain, or Portugal. Done it before – had a lovely reserve wine from the Bibich Winery last year that is made from the Babich grape.
After hearing Donna Summer's "Last Dance," I knew it was time to pair up and I found my one true love that night out of 25 suitors- an inexpensive (less than $15), expressive and surprisingly complex wine from Portugal, the 2009 Tapada do Barão Tinto imported by Vino Unico.
Made from a blend of Alicante Bouschet, a grape native to the South of France with a checkered history because of its tendency to produce flabby wines when flying solo but now more common and actively cultivated in Portugal than France. The blend produced a wine with bright fruit, spices and herbs. Its wild strawberry nature and solid acidity paired perfectly with my cuban roast pork with mojo sauce. A beautiful pairing.
Perhaps a wine warranting more than a one-night stand? It's now on the "to-do" list to buy more.

I googled 'what makes a good teacher' and got quite a few hits. Clearly this is something that has been thought about and considered by a lot of people around the world. Teachers are important because they help to shape the next generation of people, and good teachers can have a long term effect that goes well beyond just getting good/bad marks in their subject.
Here are a few examples I've gleaned from my surfing.
- good teachers really want to be good teachers
- good teachers listen
- good teachers take risks
- good teachers never have enough time
- good teachers love their subject and are able to convey this
- good teachers are firm but fair.
- good teachers are fun
- good teachers try to understand their students
When I was at school my favourite teachers were the ones who loved their subject and made me love it too. They were the ones with a sense of humour but good classroom management skills. Most importantly, they were the ones that made me feel like I had really achieved something.
Usually these were the same people.
This survey asked the most appropriate group – my favourite was the young lad who said the best teachers are the ones that don't turn up!

It was really a humbling moment to win the Most Improved Award at the most recent Conference. It had been my goal for the whole year. I joked with my office and said that winning the "Most Improved Award" usually means you were really bad at some point. To go from where we were to one of the top offices in the nation says a lot. But it doesn't say as much about me as it says about my team. My team is awesome. I think if someone didn't have the best attitude they wouldn't fit in. That just shows in our numbers. We've been number one in the country many times this year, promoted an Assistant Manager, and will soon be promoting her into management. We'll be expanding to an available location in a few months, and again within the next year.
I ran a meeting with my office about how I believe that I earned this award. I said it was all about being in your zone. You have to be relentless. You have to act as if there's someone working full time to take your goal away from you. You have to be mad that you didn't get it last year. Really believing you can do it is huge. If somebody doesn't actually believe they can do it, they never will.

The sign of global warning, from shrinking glaciers to devastating hurricanes and acidic seas. Experts say these changes are caused by the way we live and the excess carbon dioxide and other hydrocarbon gases that are the byproduct of burning fossil fuels as the primary culprits. Some say that CO2 levels are nine times what the atmosphere can absorb.
In Indonesia, tsunami, floods, landslide, soil erosion and earthquake have hit us over the last few years.

As tropical forests, we have around 14–29 types of natural ecosystem, more than 5 mio species, including 30.000 species of medicinal plants.
But just because of miss management and bad habit of irresponsible people, has ruin our country.
Corporate social responsibility has been a matter of debate since the 1960's, whether social and environmental concerns should be part of a company's mission.

Tyler The Creator Will Crash Your Plane B.oB.
I don't know if B.oB. knows that Tyler pretty much does thing to get a rise out of people and will continue to do so, but if this is what it takes to get a good track out of B.oB. maybe more people should diss him. In Tyler's "Yonkers" he may have said something along the lines of "I'll crash that f*cking airplane that f*ggot n*gga B.o.b is in". B.oB. here's a little inside info for you…your not actually in a plane and Tyler is not going to actually crash it.
So B.oB. came out from wherever that plane took him and released "No Future" that some people are saying as a response to Tyler.
You know Tyler had something to say about this…obviously the only place to do that would be Twitter.
- "Whoa. I Don't Think The 'No Future' Song Is Even A Diss. But, Ive Never Heard Him Spit Like That. Took Me By Surprise, Cus Its Tight. Still Hate That Airplanes Song Tho. It Has The Same Chord Progression As F*cking 'Love The Way You Lie' And That One Song By Katy Perry. Actually, All The Music Now Days Have The Same Chord Progression, With That Dumbass Techno Synth, Or Like, Garage Band Drums."
Now enjoy the first joint I may have ever enjoyed from B.o.B.

The Options chain table contains four groups of viewing controls located on the right side of its function bar:
The order of the column headings can also be rearranged, and each column can be used to sort the table.
Click on an element in the graphic above to go to its explanation below.
The code for the option chain's Underlying Symbol, together with its market and name, are included in the function bar.
Current trading details for the underlying security are displayed immediately below the function bar.
The buttons on the right side of the function bar let you select whether your list includes only Calls, only Puts or both.
|Show Calls only
|Show Puts only
|Show both Calls and Puts
Note - When both Calls and Puts are displayed, the Vertical or Horizontal buttons become activated, see next topic.
When both Calls and Puts are displayed, toggle between vertical or horizontal display:
|Display side-by-side
|Display on top and bottom
Calls are displayed on the left in vertical mode and on top in the horizontal mode.
Puts are displayed on the right in vertical mode and at the bottom in the horizontal mode.
This order is fixed and cannot be altered by the user.
When both Calls and Puts are displayed, it can be convenient to link the series with similar expiration dates and strike prices in both the calls and puts tables. This can make comparison of the price movements for puts and calls on similar series' easier.
To synchronize the two tables, single right mouse click anywhere on either table and select Synchronize Scrolling from the pop-up menu.
When Synchronize Scrolling is selected, scrolling one table will move the other table.
This linkage works in either the vertical or horizontal display modes, see previous section of this topic.
The separate tables can still be sorted independently, this will cause the synchronization to be lost. To ensure that the puts and calls are as synchronized as possible, always sort the tables in the same manner.
Note - In some instances there may not be a corresponding series, for example there may be a Put for a particular expiration date and strike price, but no corresponding Call was listed. This will affect the synchronization.
The custom view selector allows users to quickly change the types of data displayed for all of the currently displayed option series.
Users can define the types of options data that they want to view and save these custom views. To apply a different view, drop down the menu and select a view. Users can create and save any number of different custom views.
For more information on creating custom views, and the data types available, go to the Configure Custom Views topic.
Another user-defined tool reduces the number of option series displayed.
This is achieved by filtering out option series that do not meet the criteria set by users.
The filters employ price data (price, open interest, volume, etc.) as well as expiration dates to restrict the number of option series displayed on the table.
The same filter is applied to both the put and call tables.
Option Filters are a shared utility which are also available for use with the tables on Strategy pages of the Analysis function. For more information, go to the Option Filters topic.
The order of the columns of data fields can be altered by dragging and dropping.
Click on the heading of the data column to be moved, hold down the left mouse button and drag the item across the heading list to the preferred position. As the movement is being made, a gray shadow will be dragged across the table. Release the mouse button to position the item in the new order.
Drag to new location
Resize column width
Expand the width of the data field columns by placing the mouse cursor on the border of the heading to be expanded or contracted, the cursor will change into the expand icon. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the column to the required width, release the mouse button to confirm the change.
Note - The order of the data columns can also be controlled when custom views are defined and configured.
Click on any of the headings to sort the entire list by that data field.
An arrow appears in the heading to indicate which field the list is sorted by, and in what direction.
|Sort Descending
|Sort Ascending
Clicking a second time will reverse the order, for example from highest first to lowest first.

Handcrafted with brass tripod legs cast and painted to resemble twisting antelope horns, this statement-making side table is topped with a round mahogany surface banded in brass. We love how its russet finish shows off the natural beauty of its fine, organic grain.

Blackman has come a long way in just three games, and it'll be interesting to see the QB competition next year. I know everyone likes to pound on the offensive line, but we graduate very few guys, so next year's line should be superb.

FSU Football: Freshmen Shining Amid Disappointing Season
- Updated: October 9, 2017
A season that started with national and ACC championship aspirations has fallen by the wayside just more than a month into 2017 for Florida State. Hurricane Irma did the Seminoles no favors, but Saturday's 24-20 loss at home to Miami dropped FSU to 1-3 on the year, which marks its worst start since Bobby Bowden's first season as head coach, back in 1976.
For all that's gone wrong, there have been some bright spots for FSU. One of the biggest has been the play of the true freshmen.
The most important one of those freshmen has become James Blackman. With a quarterback depth chart that included last year's ACC Rookie of the Year in Deondre Francois, redshirt junior J.J. Cosentino and early enrollee Bailey Hockman, a redshirt was expected to be in store for Blackman. Following the season-ending injury to Francois in the opener against Alabama, Blackman was forced into action.
The coaching staff and play-calling have been conservative with Blackman early in games — maybe too conservative — but with the game on the line, Blackman has proven to have the "it factor" that so many teammates raved about prior to Blackman making his first career start against N.C. State.
After passing for 278 yards in the Sept. 23 loss to the Wolfpack, Blackman looked to be taking a step back the following week against Wake Forest. Entering the fourth quarter, Blackman had less than 50 yards passing for the day, but with FSU trailing 19-16 in the final quarter, Blackman's 43-yard pass to Keith Gavin on 3rd-and-20 set up Ricky Aguayo's game-tying field goal. With less than a minute to play, Blackman found Auden Tate from 40 yards away for the game-winning touchdown in a 26-19 FSU victory.
It was more of the same on Saturday. With FSU trailing Miami 10-3 entering the fourth quarter, Blackman led three scoring drives in the final quarter, including two with the Seminoles trailing. After Blackman's 15-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Izzo tied the game at 10, Blackman led a field goal drive to put FSU ahead before hitting Tate for a 20-yard touchdown to put the Seminoles back in front 20-17 with 1:24 to play.
Miami unfortunately would answer for the winning score and Blackman wouldn't touch the ball again. Moving forward, it'll be interesting to see if the coaching staff is willing to open things up for the 6-foot-5 freshman earlier in contests.
The freshman that most were looking forward to watching coming into the season was running back Cam Akers. Akers showed his explosiveness from the early parts of the season, but did have his flaws.
Rather than knowing the situation and picking up sure first downs or taking what was in front of him, Akers was constantly trying to make the big play, but that wound up costing his team yardage. Of late, Akers has been much more of a downhill runner while improving in other aspects of his game.
Akers was outstanding in pass protection on FSU's final offensive play of the game as Blackman found Tate for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:24 to play. That block came on a day where Akers rushed for a career-high 121 yards on 20 carries.
On defense, freshmen Joshua Kaindoh and Marvin Wilson are beginning to provide depth for an already talented defensive line. Kaindoh, who enrolled early, has been in the rotation from the first day and has 0.5 tackles for loss to his name. Wilson has progressed more gradually, but saw plenty of the field in Saturday's loss to the Hurricanes.
In the secondary, Stanford Samuels, an FSU legacy, has been picked on a bit. The freshman cornerback was beat deep for Alabama's first touchdown in the opener and by Braxton Berrios for a score on Saturday.
Samuels also came up with his first career interception at an opportune time. With Miami leading 10-3 and driving to make it a 2-score game, Samuels intercepted Miami's Malik Rosier in the end zone to thwart a potential scoring drive.
Also providing depth in the secondary has been freshman safety Hamsah Nasirildeen. With the exception of a personal foul on Saturday, Nasirildeen hasn't done anything too outstanding or detrimental, which is a good sign. He does have six tackles this season.
At 1-3 and 0-2 at home, one would be hard-pressed to find anyone who considered the 2017 campaign for FSU to be anything but a disappointment. Some might call it a disaster.
Moving forward, there is plenty of uncertainty to go around, especially regarding the coaching staff. As far as player personnel goes however, the future looks very, very bright.
