One of the key elements of balance in any yoga balance pose, assuming that stability is taking care of, is keeping the bodies center of gravity over the foundation.
I'll define here the foundation of a yoga pose as any part of the body that is in contact with the floor and that is supporting some portion of the body's center of gravity. In general this means that any part of the foundation presses down into the floor because it is supporting the weight of the body.
Part of balancing successfully can include choosing where to position your center relative to your foundation, i.e. which part of the foundation are you trying to keep your center over, and also being able to sense where you center of gravity is relative to your foundation.
This means not only sensing when your center is over your target area but also sensing when your center is moving away from the target area.
Sensitivity without the ability to effectively respond is an exercise in frustration (unless you like frustration) and so another part of balance is being able to control your body in such a way that you can position your center and move it as required.
One idea that may be helpful in this regard is to think of each part of the body, the forearms, the upper arms, the head, the ribcage, the pelvis, the thighs, the calves and feet, a each having their own center of gravity.
The position of the body's overall center of gravity depends on the position of all of these elements relative to each other.
As an example, standing upright with arms by your sides your center is somewhere on the centre line of your body, over a point between your two feet. Move one arm to the side, without moving any other part of your body, then you shift your center relative to the center of your body. It moves closer to the side of the body with the arm that is outstretched.
Move the other arm out then your center again returns to your center line.
Move both arms forwards then your center moves forwards relative to your body. Move your arms back and then your center moves rearwards. Move one arm forwards and the other arm back then your center of gravity remains fairly close to your front back center line.
Standing upright and pushing your hips left and leaning your torso right then your center will remain stationary relative to your feet. Instead your pelvis will have moved relative to your center so that your center is now to the right side of your pelvis. (See pictures below).
Back to upright, moving your hips back and your torso forwards then your hips again move relative to your center so that your center is now shifted closer towards your head.
In this position if you reach your arms back your body will move forwards. If you reach your arms forwards you body will move back.
In this case your center remains fixed relative to your foundation but your body moves relative to it.
Pushing your pelvis forwards or backwards (while staying balanced) you also shift your center in front of your pelvis or behind it but your center (because you are still balanced) stays over your foundation.
Moving into an arm balancing yoga pose like Crow Pose (bakasana) you start with your center of gravity over your feet.
Since your hands are in front of your feet (with your knees against your arms) to balance on the hands in this pose you have to shift your center forwards, so that it is over your hands. So you have to move your body forwards.
This same is true in most arm balances if you start with your weight on your feet (or foot) behind your hands.
To balance in these yoga balance poses you have to get your weight, your center of gravity forwards over your hands.
In a pose like half moon pose it can be easy to shift your weight towards your hand so that your center is actually over a point between your hand and foot. How do you then lift the hand? By shifting your body so that your center of gravity is over your foot.
In side plank pose, to balance you have to have your center of gravity somewhere over the line that connects hand and foot. If you make the foot stable, or even easier, if you place one foot in front of the other, it is easier to keep your center of this line.
One of the easier ways to stay balanced in this pose is to move the hips.
If you feel your weight shifting forwards then move your hips backwards.
If you feel your weight shifting backwards then move your hips forwards to compensate.
And for either of these corrections stop when you feel your center of gravity is over the center line otherwise you'll just hip sway between the two nearly unbalanced positions.
In bound headstand you can keep your center over the line midway between elbows and crown.
If you are trying to lift into headstand with legs straight then it helps to understand that with your feet an inch off of the floor you have to move your hips back to counter balance the weight of the legs.
Moving the legs to horizontal the hips have to move back even more.
From here approaching the legs vertical position the hips can move forwards so that you keep your center of gravity over your foundation.
Moving from plow pose to shoulderstand the same can apply.
To avoid excess stress on your neck move your hips forwards (away from your head) to balance the weight of the legs. As your legs approach vertical you can move your hips back, towards your head, to keep your center of gravity over a point between shoulders and elbows.
An alternative is to prebrace the neck prior to lifting the feet by pressing the back of the head into the floor.
This then "widens" or broadens your foundation from front to back since the tension in the back of the neck forces the head to act as part of the foundation. You can then lift your legs without having to move your hips so far forwards.
For balancing in handstands the intent can be to keep your center over your hands. When jumping up you'll probably have to angle your arms so that your shoulders move forwards. This then gets your center over your hands.
As you bring the legs up past the horizontal then you can bring your shoulders back over your hands so that your arms are vertical.
In both headstand and handstand to reduce the need for your center of gravity to go forwards, bend the knees or move the legs out to the sides as you lift them
Or scissor the legs, bringing one leg behind the body to help balance the weight of the leg that is in front of the body.
If you are doing a handstand against a wall then you can use a similiar understanding to get your feet off of the wall. Either pull your pelvis forwards first to get your center over your hands or scissor one leg forwards to get your weight over your hands. If you pelvis is forwards, then as you bring your feet off of the wall move your pelvis backwards to maintain balance.
If scissoring the legs, then after removing your other leg from the wall bring both legs together to keep your center of gravity over your hands.
I've included a slightly more detailed discussion of balance, (most notably using floor contact to feel where your center of gravity is with respect to your foundation) in the ebook Balance Basics.
I've included more detail on stability and balance in improving balance.

Centration can simply taken to mean centered. And rather than looking for maximal surface contact, a more sensible definition is balanced tension.
Stay balanced in yoga balance poses, keep your center of gravity over your foundation. Learn how your center shifts relative to your body.
The single joint muscles at the back of the knee joint are relatively small compared to those at the front of the knee. For knee joint stability, activate the hamstrings as well as the three vastus muscles.
Key to improving balance and proprioception is the conscious control of tension. Tension can be used for both feedback and stability making it easier to stay balanced.
The following sacroiliac joint stability exercises can be used to shape the pelvis. They may also be helpful in forward bending and backbending at the hip.
These yoga pose upper back exercises make it easier to feel the upper back (and lower back) so that it is easier to control them both.
Three simple techniques for alleviating hip joint pain while doing yoga poses.
Hamstring Anatomy for yoga practitioners, focusing on backbending and forward bending of the hips with knees bent and straight.
Sitting bone pain while bending forwards may be a result of a facilitated (overactive) obturator internus or coccygeus muscle.
After a bit of a hiatus its back to stretching for beginners.
The latest installment is a mini sequence that works towards the half split inner thigh stretch with some prone twisting and outer thigh stretching followed by some recovery work with standing poses to help reactivate the inner thighs.

For well being is it better to be able to contract a muscle or relax it? I'd suggest that you learn to do both and just as importantly... Learn to feel when a muscle is activated and when it is relaxed.
The key to both is...

Consciousness is like the Captain of a ship. At times the ship it commands can be very big with lots of sailors to tell what to do, at other times the captain is sailing solo, taking care of the sails and the tiller.
This is a mini-routine that I've been using in my classes recently to teach awareness and control of the foundation in poses like
table top, high lunge, low lunge, extended cat pose, and yoga push ups (leading to chaturanga dandasana.)
This can lead to smoother and more mindful movement.
Tensegrity basics: tension doesn't just integrate the body, it can be used for proprioception and for responsiveness and quicker reactions.
What is proper yoga alignment for handstand? Why not learn to feel and control your shoulders and ribcage so that you can learn to feel when your body is best aligned.
In this video some tips for body weight squat and the one legged pistol squat with a focus on "feeling your body."
Why do a pistol squat? To improve hip strength and left/right hip balance. This may help to alleviate low back pain.

i really love it there
Disappointed. This was my 3rd stay and site is now less cared for.
Had a brill time, everything was fantastic
we really enjoyed our stay, lovely views of chesil beach, the whole park was spotless, the only downside was the uncomfortable sofa.
Fantastic views from apartment, staff were fantastic especially the kids entertainers!
chisel beach is a great holiday park near to all amenity's
good for familys or couples looking to explore the area
Spoke to staff about problems but did not seem very interested
We had a wonderful holiday. The entertainment team were great - Ben, Sasha and Dan.
1st class location and surroundings. Breath-taking views from the balcony over chesil beach and bay. Clean with good facilities. Particularly enjoyed the entertainment and cabarets'. Very convenient location with good transport connections.
Great location, first class accommodation, friendly staff, good entertainment.
Had a fantastic time would love to come back
A superb part of the world, I cant say anything bad about it, food superb, staff also superb and above and beyond they helped to make my wife and me a wonderful holiday, we WILL go back.
Always a good holiday at Chesil with plenty to do ,but thought the entertainment was rather predictable compared to previous visits & this was not improved by increasing the volume.
Excellent we will be going again next year.
We had never stayed in a holiday Park before but we were pleasantly surprised. We found the park to be very clean & well laid out. The Venue was a great place to spend an evening, some of the acts were good some not so good. View from our Apartment was excellent, overlooking the sea, lovely place to sit in the sunshine

Technical Problem on the Forums?
Whenever I post on GW, I ask that responses be sent to my e-mail Inbox. Recently, this feature has not been working. For example last week I posted some pics., there were 8 replies, and only one came to my inbox. Similarly I have posted questions on the Tomato, Soil, and name-that-plant forums and realized there were replies only when I went to the forums. Is anyone else experienceing this? The other problem is that I have to re-input my login information almost monthly. And it seems to be completely 'lost' because when I start to enter my username, it does not complete it. Anyone knows how to report these problems?
I get that login problem occasionally too, so I just log in and then use the back button to get back to my reply, and then it posts successfully.
I don't know about the responses, I never request to be notified of replies via email. However, my GW email hasn't been working since last Spring, and I've contacted GW about this at least 2 times, to no avail. So I put my email address on "My Page".

Hello world wide web!
I am a caring, intelligent, fun loving and hard working person who loves to spend time laughing with friends and family. I know, I know, everyone says that.. Honesty and a good sense of humor are musts. You have to be able to laugh at life and not take yourself too seriously. I enjoy being healthy, and I like to get outside and be active. I like going to memorial to run and people watch, and just ran my first half marathon last year. A couple months ago I started doing crossfit, and have really enjoyed its challenge! I grew up on the bay, like fishing and boating and am most relaxed hanging out or doing anything by the water. I'm a member of a sailing club in Seabrooke, and loved crewing in the Rum Races this past summer as I learned to sail. I'm an accountant and work hard, but I believe it's important to find a good balance in life; ensuring you make time for being with friends and family. I like to sometimes meet up with friends at after work HH's, but am not into the club scene or overly crowded bars. I also like to watch my Texas Aggies, and am looking forward to going to some games this year. I've always had a strong faith and like to go to church though I haven't as much as I like to lately. I like how it helps remind me to refocus and gives perspective. That's just a little about me, shoot me an email and tell me a little about yourself!

Return to Selma
On Sunday, March 8, 2015, hundreds of Unitarian Universalists, dressed in Standing on the Side of Love gear, marched with tens of thousands of people across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, AL, to honor the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
Grief and Weariness
I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for twenty-four years. In 1981 I remember reading the New York Times thoroughly one summer day as I rode the subway. Somewhere way in the back pages I saw an article reporting that a number of young men were suffering from Kaposi's sarcoma, a rare cancer usually found only in older men with Mediterranean heritage.
General Assembly 2015: Greener!
Did you know that the UUA's annual meeting, General Assembly (GA), is one of the greenest events around? Did you know that GA 2015 in Portland, Oregon will engage UUs in working for climate justice?
Blood of the Tiger
Set against the backdrop of China's ascendance to world dominance, Blood of the Tiger tells of a global fight to rein in the forces of greed on behalf of one of the world's most treasured and endangered animals.
Blessings for Justice Builders
The Rev. Lindi Ramsden, a Unitarian Universalist minister long at the forefront of work for human rights and environmental justice, wrote these blessings—"beatitudes"—for people who work for positive change. They are part of of our collection of readings, reflections, and prayers on WorshipWeb.
Blessed are you who can question your own assumptions and listen with an open mind; you will receive new insights beyond your imagining.
Blessed are you who suffer the attacks of others to stand up for what is right; you will not be alone, for your courage will inspire others to rise.
Blessed are you who build friendships as well as justice; even when you lose an issue, you will have strengthened the foundation of your community.
Blessed are you who take delight in people; you will not be bored in meetings.
Climate Justice Month
From World Water Day to Earth Day (March 22 to April 22, 2015), Unitarian Universalists and other people of faith and conscience will begin a spiritual journey for climate justice.
Climate Justice Month is being organized by Commit2Respond, the new environmental justice initiative led by UU groups across our faith movement. Join Commit2Respond to participate, and if you're a congregational leader, save the dates for Climate Justice Sunday and Earth Day observances.
UUA President Condemns Indiana's Discriminatory Law
On March 27, Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed into law the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), a thinly-veiled attack on the civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. The bill was promoted as being necessary to preserve religious freedom in Indiana, but make no mistake: this bill was passed in order to legally permit blatant discrimination against the LGBT community.

The University of Rhode Island announced today it will arm its on-campus police force with guns. It's the only public higher education institution in the state to do so.
University of Rhode Island officials have announced they plan to arm campus police, despite vocal critics, who say the change will not make campus safer.
The university announced the decision after a year of public meetings and discussions with faculty, students and staff. In a statement, URI President David Dooley called the change critical.
"In order to provide the safest environment possible and to ensure a timely response to any threat to the safety of our campuses, our police officers must be equipped properly to function as first responders," Dooley said.

Hip Hip, Jorge!
Hip Hip, Jorge!
Six months I've waited for this. At the beginning of this year, there were three Cuban defectors that many baseball fans started to become familiar with: Yoenis Cespedes, Jorge Soler, and Gerardo Concepcion. Cespedes was the best prospect simply because of his age (26) and experience. The Cubs easily won the Concepcion sweepstakes over ten teams or so, inking the 18-year-old left-handed pitcher to a $7 million major league contract. Cubs brass then made a big push to get Cespedes, but the Oakland A's ultimately won out. Surprisingly, it didn't bother me much. I knew that once the Cubs actually became competitive again (another 3-4 years), Cespedes would already be closing in on 30 years of age. For a team that had no intentions of winning now and every intention of building for the future, it made sense to go for the 20-year-old Soler, who wasn't granted free agency until June 2. So once Cespedes was off the market, that's exactly what Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer did.
For months, I've been infatuated with the idea of the Cubs signing Soler. That idea finally became a reality when Soler chose the North Side as his future home yesterday afternoon, agreeing to a nine-year, $30 million deal. It will cover Soler's minor league time and most, if not all, of his major league time in Chicago. At 6'3 200 pounds, he has incredible raw power and bat speed, game-changing ability, and the potential to do some serious damage in the middle of the Cubs order (which will contain the likes of Anthony Rizzo and hopefully Albert Almora) in the near future. Scouts have been comparing him favorably to the 22-year-old behemoth that is Giancarlo Stanton, the Miami Marlins star right fielder. Here is what ESPN's lead baseball analyst for Scouts Inc., Keith Law, had to say about Soler after the signing:
Jorge Soler, the 20-year-old Cuban outfielder the Cubs agreed to terms with today, can show you four plus tools, and there's enough bat speed and hand strength for him to end up with all five. He has All-Star potential for the Cubs if they're patient enough to wait the 2-3 years he'll take in an optimistic scenario before he is big-league ready...
...Had Soler been in this year's draft, he would probably have been a top-five pick on merit, definitely in the top 10.
Top-five pick? That means Soler's potential is equivalent, or near equivalent, to that of soon-to-be stud outfielders Byron Buxton (Twins), David Dahl (Rockies), and the Cubs very own Albert Almora. He's also a very instinctive outfielder with a fantastic arm (Baseball Prospect Nation ranked his arm 60/60 and his fielding 50/60) and can cover a lot of ground with his underrated speed (pretty much the anti-Alfonso Soriano). In other words, Soler has a classic right field profile - a perfect future complement to Brett Jackson in left and Albert Almora in center. If that doesn't make you salivate, I don't know what else, besides Portillo's italian beef, will.
For the first time in a long time, the Cubs are building a powerhouse from within. It's time to get excited about what the future may hold for us, as the farm system is loaded up with some promising young hitters in Rizzo, Jackson, Almora, Javier Baez and now Soler. Pitching is still a major hole, but that issue has been, and will continue to be, addressed. The Cubs drafted over 20 pitchers in last week's draft and have Dillon Maples, among others, developing in their farm system. I'd like to think that at least one or two of them will pan out and become solid starters or even solid relievers (I don't ask for much in life, so if The Man Upstairs can hear me right now, how 'bout a little help, big guy?). Assuming the Cubs trade Dempster at the deadline, it doesn't hurt to hope that a desperate team looking to make a push will give us a decent pitching package. Matt Garza also has tremendous value to teams like the Detroit Tigers (Jacob Turner, please?), so it shouldn't surprise any of us if he goes too. However, if the Cubs decide to keep Garza and resign him at some point, that would be great as well. Plus, there's always free agency - the time of the year that Theo Epstein makes other executives feel smaller than Leslie Chow's... well, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you don't, then you've probably never seen The Hangover. And that's a serious issue.
Six months I waited for Jorge Soler. As Cub fans, being patient is in our nature. If there are 103-year old Cub fans who are still out there waiting (and bravo if you are really alive at the age of 103), then what's another three or four years to us of waiting for a perennial playoff contender? Something tells me it will be well worth that small wait soon enough.

In your letters, you allege that: • "Brotherhood operatives" within the U.S. government may have directly influenced the U.S. intelligence community's assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood, as presented by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on February 10,2011; • The mother, brother and deceased father of Huma Abedin, Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State 1-lillary Clinton, are connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, and that she, too, by extension, may be working on the organization's behalf; • The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, an international organization of 57 countries to which President George W. Bush created a special envoy position, is "determined to impose shariah worldwide" and undermine the U.S. Constitution; • The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an umbrella organization of American Muslim groups, is "the largest Muslim Brotherhood front in the United States," and PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER • The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and Muslim Advocates, two civil rights organizations, "exercise influence in ways that align with Muslim Brotherhood agendas." As evidence for these allegations, you reference MuslimBrotherhoodinAmerica.com, a Web site created by Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy (CSP). Mr. Gaffney has a long history of making unsubstantiated anti-Muslim allegations, including: • Accusing then-ISAF Commander General David Petraeus of "submission" to Islamic law because he condemned Florida pastor Terry Jones' burning of a Quran; • Accusing presidential candidate Herman Cain after meeting with ISNA of meeting with "the largest Muslim Brotherhood front in the United States" (language that appears verbatim in your letters); • Accusing New Jersey Governor Chris Christie of "corruption" and "treason" for appointing a Muslim lawyer to be a judge; • Accusing anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist of "enabling and empowering Muslim Brotherhood influence operations against our movement and our country"; • Accusing former Bush Administration official Suhail Khan of conducting a "Muslim Brotherhood Influence Operation" against the American Conservative Union (ACU), the host of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), and • Accusing Republican Virginia House of Delegates member David Ramadan of waging "stealth jihad" by seeking elected office. Mr. Gaffney's views have been widely discredited, including by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and conservative organizations. The FBI said his research made "unsubstantiated assertions" and relied on "outdated information." After the ACU board conducted a full investigation of Mr. Gaffney's accusations against Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan, the board found Mr. Gaffney's accusations "reprehensible," "baseless" and "false and unfounded." The ACU even baiTed Mr. Gaffney's participation from CPAC in 2011. Despite Mr. Gaffney's record of unsubstantiated allegations, you appear to have based your letters to the Inspectors General on his views. I request that you provide my office a full accounting of the sources you used to make the serious allegations against the individuals and organizations in your letters. If there is not credible, substantial evidence for your allegations, I sincerely hope that you will publically clear their names. Sincerely, A "A K ith Ellison Member of Congress cc: The Honorable I.

Dear Representative Bachmann: Thank you for your prompt response to my letter of July 12, 2012. As you know, I asked you to provide information to support your claim that the Muslim Brotherhood has effected "deep penetration" into the U.S. government. In your initial letters to the Inspectors General of several federal agencies,2 you wrote the following: "...information has recently come to light that raises serious questions about the impact on the federal government's national security policies and activities that appear to be a result of influence operations conducted by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood." A careful review of your 16-page response reveals that you fail to provide any credible evidence for your claims, engage in guilt by association, and continue to rely on discredited sources. Allow me to be more specific. My July 12, 2012 letter asked for credible, substantial evidence to support the allegations in your letters to the Inspectors General. You wrote that information has "recently come to light" regarding alleged Muslim Brotherhood influence within the U.S. government information I urged you to share with the proper authorities given the seriousness of your accusations. I hup: www.sctimes.com article 20l20710/NEWS0I 307100003 Bachniann-warns-MusIim-Brotherhood 2 The Departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. PRINTED DN RECYCLED PAPER However, your response simply rehashes claims that have existed for years on anti- Muslim Web sites and contains no reliable information that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the U.S. government. Guilt by Association Your initial letter to the State Department references the Muslim Brotherhood and states that "the apparent involvement of those with such ties raises serious security concerns." You cite Huma Abedin, Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as an example of those "with such ties" to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is a striking claim to make about a top adviser in the State Department. In discussing this claim, you provide absolutely no information about Ms. Abedin herself. Instead, you write that "her late father, her mother and her brother [arej connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations." Your letters fail to explain your ~ ~ t1a1111~ icgatuiii~ IV1~. flUCUtll ~ IIIULILCI dilU UIULIICI. With regard to Ms. Abedin's father, you point to a single passage from an article claiming that he founded "the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, an institution that had the quiet but active support of the then General Secretary of the Muslim World League, Dr. Umar Abdallah Nasif." You then write, "As the Pew Forum notes, the Muslim World League has a longtime history of being closely aligned and partnering with the Muslim Brotherhood." Put together, the primary source of evidence for your serious claims against Ms. Abedin is that her deceased father founded an institute that received unspecified "support" from a man who at one point led an organization that was aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. In making this connection, which is five times removed from Ms. Abedin, you engage in guilt by association. Further, in questioning how Ms. Abedin received a high-level security clearance, you imply that our top intelligence agencies did not adequately investigate Ms. Abedin. Accusing the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community of failing to do their jobs requires far more substantial information than what you have provided to date. Discredited Sources Your response does not address concerns about the primary source of your information, MuslimBrotherhoodinAmerica.com, which you reference prominently in your letters. The founder of that Web site, Frank Gaffney, has a long history of making unsubstantiated anti-Muslim allegations. Mr. Gaffney even accused General David Petraeus of "submission" to Islamic law,3 New Jersey Governor Chris Christie of "treason" for appointing a Muslim judge,4 and anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist of "enabling and empowering Muslim Brotherhood influence operations."5 Your response fails to explain how your claims are any more credible than Mr. Gaffney's accusations against these individuals. ~ http://Uflnkprogress.org/poIitics/20 11/04/28/161 792/frank-gaffney-david-petraeus-sharial ~ ~ hLtp://thinkprogress.org/politics/20 11/04/12/I 57627/frank-gaffney-grover-norquist-fcud/ The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a premier civil rights organization tracking hate groups, describes Mr. Gaffney as "the anti-Muslim movement's most paranoid propagandist."6 According to SPLC, Mr. Gaffney has called Islam "communism with a God." SPLC also quotes Mr. Gaffney as saying that the Muslim Brotherhood is practicing "civilization jihad" through "influence operations" phrases that appear verbatim in your letter. Your allegations are particularly disconcerting given your position on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. You have previously criticized the Obama Administration by stating that "leaks are unacceptable in all circumstances."7 If the individuals and organizations named in your letters pose such grave threats to U.S. national security, why would you risk undermining your efforts by discussing your letters with media outlets8 and posting them on your Web site?9 Again, thank you for your timely response. If you find any credible infuimatioii lcg4tdiIIg Muslim Brotherhood "deep penetration" into the U.S. government, I urge you to share it with the proper authorities immediately. As the revered journalist Edward R. Murrow once said, "We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law."

Fireplace screens - Has anyone noticed?
As I thumb thru magazines and catalogs I am noticing more and more that the fireplace screens do not cover the opening of the fireplace. Anyone know why?
I think it looks funny to see the screen on the hearth, and maybe an inch or two beyond the opening on the sides, and the top of the screen about 3' - 5" below the top opening.
It just looks to me like someone measured wrong. But as I said it seems common. The pottery barn catalog, crate & barrel and some decorating magazines. Has anyone done this?
Haven't noticed this because I haven't been looking, but I definitely wouldn't want a screen that didn't reach the top of the opening. Aren't the openings and the screens standard sizes? I believe the screen should fit within a couple of inches all around.
We bought one last year that's about an inch over on the sides and 4-5 inches over on the top. It looks good.
Several years ago I was looking for a freestanding screen for my fireplace, and I remember having a hard time finding one the right size. I think in my case they were too tall, I guess there is a lot of variation in firebox heights, so for companies that aren't specializing in hearth products, they probably just don't care if it is not "right".

It was fourteen years ago on New Years eve, 1999, that President Boris Yeltsin of Russia turned over power to a former KGB agent named, Vladimir Putin. Little did he know that his protege had big ideas about what should occur in Russia. Boris still lived in the shadow of Communist Soviet Union and hoped that both Gorbachev and he represented a new spirit for the Russian people that would lead the nation into an era of cooperation with the European Union and the United States. They felt it was time to end the Cold War and initiate an era of Warm feelings and cooperation with the world. Putin arrived, and so did a group of oligarchs who plundered Russia of its riches on the road to wealth and power. Putin worked with these men including many who were his cronies from the old days of the secret police. Since then, a portion of the population has enjoyed the good life, but only a portion, the majority of people have more access to wealth, but each year they fall further and further into poverty and despair.
Gleb Pavlovsky, a political commentator in Russia raises several issues confronting the nation. "The question is not whether Putin stays on, but whether the horse survives. he has no plan."He promised to protect freedoms of speech, conscience, the media and property. In those early days he assured the people of Russia they would enjoy the "fundamental rights of a civilized society." Unfortunately, they now enjoy the rights of a totalitarian society. What next for Mother Russia?

The present invention relates to a fluid transfer tubing set assembly including a disposable pumping component, tubing component, a tray component for organizing the tubing, a handle component for the pumping component and a packing box which facilitates easy and proper assembly.
1. A fluid transfer tubing set assembly for transferring individual fluids from multiple supply containers to a single receiving container, the assembly comprising:
a flow path including a pumping component and a tubing component, the pumping component comprising at least two pumping diaphragm cassettes operable with a positive displacement pump apparatus and each cassette having a fluid outlet port at one end, a flush fluid inlet port at the other end, a fluid recirculation port and at least one supply fluid inlet port between said outlet port and said flush fluid inlet port, the tubing component having a plurality of individual fluid inlet conduits for fluidly connecting a supply container to a fluid inlet port, a fluid outlet conduit for fluidly connecting said fluid outlet port with said receiving container, a fluid recirculation conduit for fluidly connecting each fluid recirculation port with each other recirculation port so as to allow fluid flow through the fluid recirculation conduit and the fluid outlet conduit in selectively alternate directions, and a coupling means fluidly coupling the fluid outlet conduits of said at least two cassettes so as to allow recirculation from the receiving container sequentially though the flow path of each cassette;
and packaging means for initially holding and organizing the tubing component prior to connection.
2. The transfer set of claim 1 further including means for joining said at least two cassettes in fixed relationship.
3. The transfer set of claim 2 wherein said packaging means includes a molded tray.
4. The transfer set of claim 3 wherein said molded tray includes means for retaining the tray in position relative to the supply containers and the positive displacement pump apparatus.
5. The transfer set of claim 4 wherein said retaining means includes a perimeter flange around the tray, one end of said tray flange fitting in a tray retainer on said pump apparatus and an opposite end of the tray flange flexibly attaching to a snap fittment associated with the pumping apparatus.
6. The transfer set of claim 3 wherein said packaging means also includes a packing box that facilitates proper assembly of the transfer set.
7. The transfer set of claim 1 further including means for holding said at least two pumping diaphragm cassettes in fixed relationship for simultaneous positioning in an operating position in the positive displacement pump apparatus.
8. The transfer set of claim 7 wherein said holding means is a bracket forming a handle between two cassettes.
The present invention generally relates to preparing admixtures of parenteral solutions and, more particularly, to a fluid transfer tubing set for transferring individual fluids from multiple supply containers through a positive displacement pumping component to a single receiving container.
Hospital pharmacists are increasingly compounding solutions for parenteral administration to a patient which contain a multiplicity of solutions in a single solution container. Such parenteral solutions include those formulated for nutritional purposes, as well as drug-containing admixtures for therapeutic purposes. A basic nutritional solution, for example, contains amino acids, dextrose, and fat emulsions which provide a major portion of the patient's nutritional needs. These solutions are typically compounded by use of a large volume parenteral compounder which typically utilizes a peristaltic type pump. A peristaltic-type pump is sufficient for large volume parenteral solution compounding since the pump transfers large volumes in an efficient and accurate manner. However, in addition to the basic solutions, a typical total parenteral solution also includes as many as ten additional additives, such as small quantities of vitamins, electrolytes, minerals, etc. These components are typically drawn into individual syringes and then injected into the final solution container. This procedure, while accurate, requires a large amount of time on the part of the pharmacist. Additionally, the repeated needle puncturing in the additive solutions increases the risk of contamination and accidental needle stick.
Accordingly, automatic compounding systems are being increasingly used for measuring and combining the smaller volume additives to the parenteral solutions. While small volume peristaltic pumps are in current use for small volume compounding, it is highly desirable to utilize a fast and highly accurate diaphragm cassette pump for compounding the additives to previously prepared large volume parenteral solutions. Additionally, it is highly desirable to use the high accuracy pump cassette for preparing small volume admixtures for therapeutic purposes, as well as small volume parenteral solutions for neonatal administration.
The present invention relates to a fluid transfer tubing set for transferring multiple individual fluids from multiple supply containers through a pumping chamber of a positive displacement pump component to a single receiving container. Specifically, the transfer set includes multiple fluid ports connected in a serial flow path in the pumping component, such as, for example, a pumping diaphragm cassette. The pumping component includes a fluid outlet port at one end of the serial flow path, a flush fluid inlet port at the other end of the serial flow path, a fluid recirculation port and at least one supply fluid inlet port between the outlet port and the recirculation inlet port. The transfer set also includes a plurality of individual fluid inlet conduits, each inlet conduit individually connecting one of the supply containers to one of the supply fluid inlet ports in the pumping component. Further, the transfer set includes a fluid outlet conduit connecting the fluid outlet port of the pumping component with the receiving container. A flow coupler is fluidly connected with the fluid outlet conduit adjacent to the receiving container. A fluid recirculation conduit connects the fluid recirculation port of the pumping component with the fluid coupler so as to selectively allow fluid flow through the recirculation conduit in alternate directions. Also, a final outlet fluid conduit connects the fluid coupler with the receiving container and has a fluid volume less than the fluid volume of the pumping chamber of the positive displacement pumping component.
In accordance with the present invention, multiple pumping diaphragm cassettes can be fluidly coupled together so as to optimize the number of supply containers available to the automatic system. The fluid coupling allows recirculation of the admixed fluid from the receiving container sequentially through the flow path of each cassette so as to reduce the use of flush solution to flush incompatible solutions from the cassette.
The present invention also includes components for packaging and organizing the plurality of fluid inlet conduits associated with the multiple cassettes prior to connection to the multiple supply containers. For example, one packaging and organizing component is a molded tray having retaining mechanisms built into the tray to position the tray relative to the supply containers and the pumping apparatus.
The invention further includes a component, such as a bracket forming a handle, for fixing multiple diaphragm cassettes in a fixed relationship prior to simultaneous positioning in the pump apparatus.
As the transfer set for I.V. pumps and compounding pumps become more complex, a need arises to be able to package and present the disposable transfer set in such a way that it helps the user to install and connect it properly. The present invention codes the various tubing components to be assembled and positions them in a multi-pocket tray in such a way that the correct placement of the various components is assured. The tray helps greatly in the manufacturing fabrication and end-user assembly steps. Once the disposable tubing set has been assembled, it can be placed in the packaging tray that orients the tubing connections in such a way that the end user is presented with a very complex product that has been pre-organized and oriented such that the transfer set can easily and efficiently be installed. Also, the packing box that packages the bracket handle and tray is configured so that the user can reliably position and properly orient the components prior to making the inlet connections. Finally, the connecting bracket for multiple cassette embodiments can be used as a handle that allows one-handed manipulation and loading of the plural cassettes.
Numerous other features and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a positive displacement pump apparatus having multiple supply containers and a single receiving container which are fluidly connected by the transfer tubing set of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the transfer tubing set in a packaging tray according to the present invention prior to the tubing component being connected with the pump apparatus and the supply containers;
FIG. 3 is a view of a two-cassette handle bracket during loading into the positive displacement pump door mechanism;
FIG. 4 is a view of the packaging tray holding the transfer set according to the present invention while the tray is being positioned in the first tray retainer of the pump apparatus;
FIG. 5 is a schematic of a two-cassette embodiment of the present invention showing a typical recirculation procedure from the receiving container according to the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic of the packing box that holds the tray and handle bracket.
While the present invention is susceptible of embodiments in various forms, there is shown in the drawings and there will hereinafter be described a presently preferred embodiment, with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an example of the invention, and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiment illustrated.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, there is illustrated a positive displacement pumping apparatus 10 such as the Nutrimix� Micro Compounder manufactured by Abbott Laboratories. The pump apparatus utilizes a microprocessor to control a step motor which operates the positive displacement pump plunger and solenoids which actuate the pump valves. A disposable transfer tubing set assembly, generally 12, includes a disposable cassette component 14 and an associated tubing conduit component. The plunger and valves operate on the positive displacement pump chamber and multiple inlet valves contained in the disposable diaphragm cassette 14. As will be recognized by those familiar with the cassette pumping art, the features of the pumping apparatus and compounding cassette are similar to those found in the pumps and cassettes disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,818,186, to Pastrone et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,842,584, to Pastrone, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,927,411 to Pastrone et al., which patents are all assigned to Abbott Laboratories and which are hereby incorporated by reference in the present disclosure. The disclosure of the above patents, which are commonly assigned to the assignee of the present invention, relate to a pump cassette and associated pump driver employed for the infusion of parenteral solution. However, many of the principles disclosed therein are equally applicable in connection with the present invention as it relates to small volume compounding as well as large volume compounding.
Additional components of the compounder include a supply rack 16 for holding multiple supply containers 18 such as small volume solution containers from 10 mL to 250 mL in volume size. A flush solution container 20 is also provided as well as a single patient container such as flexible receiving container 22. Since flush container 20 and patient receiving container 22 are typically large volume containers, they may be hung off of the supply rack 16.
The transfer tubing set assembly, generally identified as 12, provides a sterile fluid pathway from the supply containers 18 to the patient container 22. A packaging tray such as thermoformed tray 32 holds and organizes the fluid inlet conduits of the transfer tubing set prior to connection to the supply inlet containers. Other notable components of the pumping apparatus include data entry keys 36 and display screen 38.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the fluid transfer tubing set assembly 12 will be more specifically described. A positive displacement pumping component is generally shown by disposable diaphragm cassette 14. This cassette is similar to the multiple inlet cassette described and shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,082,014 to Olichney and U.S. Pat. No. 5,062,774 to Kramer et al., both of which patents are assigned to Abbott Laboratories and both of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The pumping cassette 14 is characterized by multiple fluid ports connected in a sterile fluid flow path. The preferred cassette embodiment of the present invention includes a fluid flow path generally shown by 42. The flow path includes a fluid outlet port 44 at one end of the flow path and a flush fluid inlet port 46 at the other end of the serial flow path. A fluid recirculation port 48 is located between the outlet port 44 and the flush fluid inlet port 46, preferably adjacent the flush inlet port 46. At least one, and preferably a plurality of supply fluid inlet ports 52, are also located between the outlet port 44 and the flush fluid inlet port 46.
In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2, each cassette has five supply fluid inlet ports. In a typical hospital pharmacy for small volume compounding using an automatic pumping apparatus, the number of supply containers which are frequently used is typically between five and ten different solutions. Therefore, the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown with an optimized configuration having the potential and flexibility for up to ten supply containers. This is achieved by connecting two cassettes, such as 14, together in serial flow communication.
The tubing component of the transfer set assembly includes a plurality of individual fluid inlet conduits 56. As shown in FIG. 2, one fluid inlet conduit is provided to individually connect one of the supply containers 16 (shown in FIG. 1) to one of the supply fluid inlet ports 52. The actual piercing connection is made by piercing pins (not shown).
A fluid flush conduit 58 is provided to connect the flush container 20 to the fluid flush inlet port 46 in the pumping component. As shown in the dual cassette embodiment in FIG. 2, the fluid flush conduit 58 is divided at flush divider 60 so as to provide flush fluid to both flush fluid inlet ports 46.
The transfer set further includes a fluid outlet conduit 64 connecting the fluid outlet port 44 of the pumping component with the receiver container 22. A fluid coupler 66 is provided to couple the fluid outlet conduits 64 from both cassettes. The fluid coupler 66 is connected with the fluid outlet conduit 64 adjacent to the receiving container in the preferred embodiment as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
A fluid recirculation conduit 68 connects the fluid recirculation ports 48 of both cassettes. The fluid recirculation conduit allows the pumping apparatus to selectively pump mixed solution from the receiving container through the recirculation conduit, as seen in FIG. 5. The recirculation can be in alternate directions.
The transfer set further includes a final outlet fluid conduit 70 connecting the fluid coupler 66 with the septum of a receiving container 22 by means of a needle for example. The final outlet fluid conduit has a fluid volume less than the fluid volume of the pumping chamber of the positive displacement pumping cassette.
The transfer set further includes a packaging component for initially holding and organizing the plurality of fluid inlet conduits 56 prior to connection to the multiple supply containers. In the preferred embodiment, these components include a multi-pocketed tray 32 that efficiently organizes the various tubing components in the tray in an orderly manner. The tray helps greatly in the assembly steps of the transfer tubing set. Also, the tray allows the tubing set to be easily positioned relative to the supply containers and the positive displacement pump apparatus prior to connection of the individual supply lines. As shown, for example in FIGS. 2 and 4, the tray includes a perimeter flange 74. One end of the tray flange 74 is slipped into a tray retaining mechanism 76 associated with the supply rack 16. The rack also includes a snap fitment 78 for connection to the flexible flange so as to secure the opposite end of the tray relative to the supply rack.
The transfer set assembly further includes a joining component for securing multiple pump diaphragm cassettes in a fixed relationship. For example, in FIG. 2, a bracket 80 is shown joining the two cassettes 14 in a fixed distance and parallel orientation relationship. The bracket is constructed in such a manner that the cassettes are generally fixed in relation to each other, yet the bracket has enough flex that the position and orientation of the cassettes can accomodate any tolerance differences or other incidental misalignment in the bracket or the access mechanism for the cassette in the pump apparatus.
As shown in FIG. 3, this bracket allows multiple cassettes to be easily and simultaneously seated in an operating position in the cassette door guide of a positive displacement pump apparatus. The bracket conveniently serves as a handle for one hand manipulation of the pump cassettes 14 while the other hand of the operator can hold the packaging tray 32. Once the multiple cassettes are in position, both hands can be used to position the tubing tray as shown in FIG. 4.
Further, as seen in FIG. 6, the holding and organizing components of this invention are transported in a packing box. The packing box naturally and properly orients the tray and the handle bracket in positions that facilitate the end-user easily and properly assemblying the transfer set to the pump apparatus. Thus, the tray is positioned on the top layer of the box while the handle bracket with cassettes is located on the lower level. These positions correspond to the final assembled positions relative to the pump apparatus. The packing box thus facilitates the natural and proper assembly of the transfer set to the pump apparatus.
From the foregoing, it will be observed that numerous modifications and variations can be affected without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. It is to be understood that no limitation with respect to the specific embodiment illustrated here is intended. The disclosure is intended to cover all modifications which fall within the scope of the appended claims.

It was fine. Clean, easy to get to from the subway and close to Gwangan Beach. It's in a quiet area. I think this place is geared more towards Koreans and not non-Koreans as I was the only non. The staff was friendly, quiet, but pretty much it's a place to go in quietly, sleep quietly, and leave quietly. Not for meeting and interacting with other travelers or partying. It has a cafe and restaurant and a cute dog. Be warned, I booked the mixed room and they said that's for males only, not females

I liked this hostel. The beds were clean. The breakfast options were better than other hostels. You get to choose between a waffle/sandwich and orange juice/coffee/or milk. I also came with my dog expecting to have to put him in a pet motel, but the owner allowed my dog to stay in the public area of the hostel with his dog!
