This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. � 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/591,387, filed Jul. 26, 2004, which is expressly incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
The present invention generally relates to a subcutaneously implantable access port. More specifically, the present invention relates to access port design and method for assembling an access port.
A variety of subcutaneously implantable access ports have been utilized by physicians to deliver fluids to, or withdraw fluids from, the bloodstream or other subcutaneous cavities inside a patient. One example of such an access port includes a needle-impenetrable housing, which encloses one or more fluid cavities and defines, for each of such fluid cavities, an access aperture communicating through the housing on the side thereof, which is adjacent to the skin of the patient where the access port is implanted into the body of a patient. A needle-penetrable septum is received in, and seals the access aperture. An exit passageway located in a port stem communicates with the fluid cavities for dispensing medication to a predetermined location in the body of the patient through an implanted catheter attached to the access port. Typically, the catheter is connected to the access port by placement of the proximal end of the catheter over the port stem. A locking sleeve or ring may be placed over the catheter at the proximal region of the catheter to secure the catheter on the port stem.
Examples of various access ports and catheter locking mechanisms are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,772,270, titled �INSEPARABLE PORT/CATHETER TUBE ASSEMBLY AND METHODS� issued to Wiita et al., dated Sep. 20, 1988; U.S. Pat. No. 5,632,729, titled �CATHETER CONNECTOR� issued to Cai et al., dated May 27, 1997; U.S. Pat. No. 4,929,236, titled �SNAP-LOCK FITTING CATHETER FOR AN IMPLANTABLE DEVICE� issued to Sampson, dated May, 29, 1990; U.S. Pat. No. 4,963,133, titled �CATHETER ATTACHMENT SYSTEM� issued to Whipple, dated Oct. 16, 1990; U.S. Pat. No. 5,045,060, titled �IMPLANTABLE INFUSION DEVICE� issued to Melsky et al., dated Sep. 3, 1991; U.S. Pat. No. 5,129,891, titled �CATHETER ATTACHMENT DEVICE� issued to Young, dated Jul. 14, 1992; U.S. Pat. No. 5,137,529, titled �INJECTION PORT� issued to Watson et al., dated Aug. 11, 1992; U.S. Pat. No. 5,312,337, titled �CATHETER ATTACHMENT DEVICE� issued to Flaherty et al., dated May, 17, 1994; U.S. Pat. No. 5,360,407, titled �IMPLANTABLE DUAL ACCESS PORT WITH TACTILE RIDGE FOR POSITION SENSING� issued to Leonard, dated Nov. 1, 1994; U.S. Pat. No. 5,399,168, titled �IMPLANTABLE PLURAL FLUID CAVITY PORT� issued to Wadsworth, Jr. et al., dated Mar. 21, 1995; U.S. Pat. No. 5,833,654, titled �LONGITUDINALLY ALIGNED DUAL RESERVOIR ACCESS PORT� issued to Powers et al., dated Nov. 10, 1998; U.S. Pat. No. 6,113,572, titled �MULTIPLE-TYPE CATHETER CONNECTION SYSTEMS� issued to Gailey et al., dated Sep. 5, 2000; each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Once the access port and the catheter have been implanted beneath the skin of a patient, quantities of medication or blood may be dispensed from the fluid cavity by means of a non-coring needle, which can be inserted into the fluid cavity through the skin of the patient and the penetrable septum. This medication may be directed to the distal end of the catheter to an entry point into the venous system of the body of the patient. Blood may also be withdrawn for sampling from the body of the patient through such an access port by applying negative pressure to the fluid cavity, which causes blood to be drawn through the catheter into the fluid cavity and then out of the body of the patient through the needle. To prevent clotting, thereafter, the withdrawal route may be flushed with a saline solution or heparin using a non-coring needle piercing the skin of the patient and the septum in the same manner as if a medication were being infused. Both intermittent and continual injections of medication may be dispensed by the access port. Continual access may involve the use of a non-coring needle attached to an ambulatory-type pump or gravity feed bag suspended above the patient. The ambulatory-type pump or the gravity feed bag continually delivers the medication or fluid through the needle to the fluid cavity in the access port and from there through the catheter to the entry point into the venous system.
A common method for assembling the plastic ports utilizes ultrasonic welding to connect the plastic parts. Typically, �shear joint� or �interference joint� is used as the connecting interface. The shear joint design is recommended by DuPont as the preferred joint design for crystalline plastic such as acetal resins (e.g., Delrin�). The shear joint design is described in detail on pages 100-103 of DuPont's General Design Principles for DuPont Engineering Polymers, Design Guide Module 1, Copyright � 2000, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. However, shear joint design generally requires precise features to be molded into the mating parts as well as precision alignment of those features along the entire length of the weld line. It is difficult to obtain closely matched mating features having a complex profile with injection molding. In particular, a typical dual port design requires a figure-8-shaped weld path. In addition, with the shear joint design it is difficult to provide welding between the septa in the access ports while maintaining a narrow profile between the septa. If the distance between the two septa is increased to accommodate a shear joint design, the overall dimensions of the port would also need to be increased.
Therefore, a connecting joint design with forgiving parts geometry, which requires less strict tolerances is desirable. Furthermore, a joint interface design that allows for welding to occur between the septa of the access port while maintaining a narrow profile between the septa may also provide added benefits.
Accordingly, described herein are access ports which incorporate improved ultrasonic weld features. In one variation, the access port includes a dual port design with a built-in weld feature, which includes an energy director positioned on the top surface of the port base and a corresponding flat on the underside of the port top. Silicone rubber septa are captured between the port top and the port base during the ultrasonic welding process. Cylindrical features on the port top and the port base may provide general alignment during the assembly process. In this particular design, since the energy director on the base needs only to contact the flat surface on the top, precision alignment between the port top and port base is not required. Far field welding may then be utilized to weld the joint between the port top and the port base. Furthermore, since the weld occurs at the top of the port base adjacent the captured silicone septa, the potential strain or creep of the plastic features that compress the septa during and after assembly may be reduced by minimizing the amount of material between the weld joint and the load created by the compressed silicone rubber septa.
These and other embodiments, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent to those skilled in the art when taken with reference to the following more detailed description of the invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings that are first briefly described.
The following detailed description should be read with reference to the drawings, in which like elements in different drawings may be identically numbered. The drawings, which are not necessarily to scale, depict selected preferred embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The detailed description illustrates, by way of example, not by way of limitation, the principles of the invention. This description will clearly enable one skilled in the art to make and use the invention, and describes several embodiments, adaptations, variations, alternatives and uses of the invention, including what is presently believed to be the best mode of carrying out the invention.
The dual chamber access port is used herein as an example to illustrate the functionality of the different aspects of the invention disclosed herein. It will be understood that embodiments of the present invention may be applied in a variety of access ports (e.g., access ports with one, three, four or more fluid chambers), and need not be limited to the dual port design described herein. In addition, the invention may be adapted such that catheters having a plurality of lumens may be connected to access ports having one or more fluid chambers.
It must also be noted that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms �a,� �an� and �the� include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, the term �a port� is intended to mean a single port or a combination of ports, �a fluid� is intended to mean one or more fluids, or a mixture thereof. In addition, it is to be understood, that unless otherwise indicated, this invention need not be limited to applications in human. As one of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate, variations of the invention may be applied to other mammals as well. Moreover, it should be understood that embodiments of the present invention may be applied in combination with various catheters, drug pumps, and infusion devices.
Referring to
The primary interface between the port base 4 and the port top 2 is located at the top end 18 of the port base 4, which comes into direct contact with the under side 5 of the port top 2. This primary interface forms the welding joint.
The cylindrical features on the inner surface 19 of the port top 2 and the corresponding outer surface 20 of the port base 4 provide general alignment during assembly. Since the energy director 6 on the port base 4 only needs to contact the flat surface 5 on the port top 2, precision alignment of the port top 2 and port base 4 is not required. In this variation, the weld occurs at the top of the port base adjacent to the captured silicone rubber septa 3, reducing the potential strain or creep of the plastic features that compress the septa during and after assembly by minimizing the amount of material between the welded joint and the load created by the compressed silicone rubber septa.
One approach for delivery of ultrasonic energy to the welding joint is through the use of a contoured welding horn that accommodates the variations in the molded surface of the bottom 21 of the port base 4, and a contour nest that matches the shape of the port top. Energy from the welding horn, in the form of vibrations oriented parallel to the long axis of the horn, has to transmit through the corresponding part to the area to be welded. Since the most efficient means for transmitting the vibrations into a part is on a path normal to the weld surface, in a port design having a flat bottom surface, it may be particularly desirable to transmit ultrasonic energy into the bottom of the port base. The port base can be easily coupled to the horn, with the flat bottom surface on the port base positioned normal to the horn axis to provide an efficient energy transfer interface.
In addition, it may be less desirable to transmit ultrasonic energy through the port top with a curved surface profile. Since the top surface of the port top has to accommodate the septum, it is generally designed with a curved surface profile. Because the curved surface of the port top is mostly not normal to the horn axis, it tends to poorly transmit the ultrasonic energy. Furthermore, much of that surface that is not normal to the horn axis tends to be scuffed by the vibrating motion of the horn, and the energy is converted to heat and scuffed plastic rather than being transmitted to the weld area.
Thus, preferably, the ultrasonic energy is delivered using far field welding. As the welding process is initiated, the energy director 6 on the port base 4 contacts the flat mating surface 5 of the port top 2. Energy from the welding horn is delivered onto the port base 4, and through the body of the port base 4 to the top 18 of the port base 4 where it is concentrated onto the tip of the energy director 6, which limits the initial contact with the flat mating surface 5 of the port top 2 to a very small area for rapid heating and melting. Once the narrow area defined by the energy director begins to soften and melt, impedance will drop and further melting occurs at a faster rate. The plastic in the energy director 6 melts first, and flows across the surface between the top of the port base 4 and the flat 5 on the under side of the port top 2. The edges 22 of the septa 3 create a confined space between the outside air and the weld area. This local confinement of the energy director prevents the outside air from prematurely cooling the welding interface and allows heat generated at the joint to be retained until the vibration ceases.
As the energy director 6 and the corresponding surface on the flat 5 melt, the port top 2 will collapse onto the port base 4, which eventually forms the assembled configuration shown in
An unexpected result of utilizing far field welding and an energy director at the top portion of the port base to concentrate the energy and form the welding interface, is that weld strength far exceeds the typical access port device requirements can be achieved. The strength of the joint is particularly surprising in view of the literature published by DuPont (the manufacture of Delrin� and other rigid amorphous plastics), which teaches away from the use of an energy director joint with far field welding (see pages 100-103 of DuPont's General Design Principles for DuPont Engineering Polymers, Design Guide Module 1, Copyright � 2000, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company). One of ordinary skill in the art would not have expected that such an approach would be capable of creating a quality joint on rigid amorphous plastic parts.
Furthermore, it is difficult to obtain closely matched mating features having a complex profile through injection molding, which is the preferred method of fabricating parts for an access port. Thus, for the traditional welding approach such as shear joint design, which requires precision alignment, the fabrication of a complex interface pattern may be difficult and costly. For example, it would be costly to manufacture corresponding port tops and port bases with a shear joint design for a dual port, which requires a figure-8 shaped weld path as shown on the top of the port base in
In yet another variation, the port top and the port base are configured to receive a compound septum, wherein two or more of the septum are provided as a continuous piece of silicone rubber (e.g., interlinks are provided between the septum). The welding interface and its corresponding energy director may be configured to loop around the compound septum.
This invention has been described and specific examples of the invention have been portrayed. While the invention has been described in terms of particular variations and illustrative figures, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the invention is not limited to the variations or figures described. In addition, where methods and steps described above indicate certain events occurring in certain order, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the ordering of certain steps may be modified and that such modifications are in accordance with the variations of the invention. Additionally, certain of the steps may be performed concurrently in a parallel process when possible, as well as performed sequentially as described above. Therefore, to the extent there are variations of the invention, which are within the spirit of the disclosure or equivalent to the inventions found in the claims, it is the intent that this patent will cover those variations as well. Finally, all publications and patent applications cited this specification are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually put forth herein.

Greetings, everyone! I have a question regarding my Canon VIXIA HG20 camera and a buffer overflow error that has been causing problems for me.
Here's the situation I was doing a photo shoot of an F8F Bearcat from a B-25 Mitchell with all its windows removed in the back, creating a pretty bumpy environment. I wanted to supplement my pictures with video, but the HG20 would only record about 10 seconds of video at a time, before stopping due to a buffer overflow error. I've read a bit about it and found this may be due to the (Buffer Overflow error) vibrations in this environment.

When the words mason jar & solar lamp come together in the same sentence, I don't care who you are — you get excited.
Because this jar is awesome. And adorable. And did I mention you're saving the planet too? So get excited, yo. This is a great project for people with minimal crafty skills, (like me). Once you wrap wire around it and hang it in your yard, you don't have to think about it ever again. Evening light = powered by the sun = awesome.
Things you'll need:
- A quart mason jar like this one. (places like Ace Hardware or Target should have them too.)
- 16 gauge baling wire like this stuff here. or you have find this at your local hardware store.
- A solar powered mason lid. (I made mine about a year ago and found my solar lids at Big Lots, but now I can only find them online. I've searched around and this is the best price I could find)
Step 1 — Cut a piece of wire to 12 1/2 inches. Wrap around the lip of the mason jar and loop together — but leave it loose.
Step 2 – Cut another piece of wire to 14 inches and loop the ends around the first wire.
After you've tightened both sides of your handle, you can go back and tighten the front loops on the first ring of wire.
Now all you need to do is put a battery in your led solar light lid and screw that puppy on! I have found that the solar lights need at least 6 hours of full sun to light up well at night. So as long as you hang them in a place where they can get recharged for half of the day, you'll always have light in the evenings!
After your initial investment in the supplies, it really is the gift that keeps giving. I'm thinking of placing these all around my outside table — can't you just picture the amazing summer evenings with these to light our conversations with family & friends?

Swimming Bugs
We have some bugs in our salt water swimming pool that seem to be perfectly content there.
They are not on the surface, but swim around below.
The local pool guy suggested algaecide, but that has not helped.
It's difficult to net them out because they are quick and not always easy to see from above.
The pool is in Mexico, so I need to buy something in the States and take it down with me.
Any suggestions?
Apparently, these are Paddle Bugs (perhaps also known as Waterboatman or just Water Bugs). A chlorine shock did not help.
Someone else suggested Ajax or something else soapy in the pool that would reduce surface tension and make it difficult for the bugs to breathe. I'm somewhat dubious of this as a solution.
I believe that this was the rationale behind using an algaecide to kill them, and that didn't work either.
Any other thoughts?
Thank you.
First, I'm certainly no expert. But last summer I had a similar outbreak in Houston. I believe mine were water boatmen. I read somewhere that chlorine isn't effective because they take a little bubble of air down with them to breathe. And they are quick. Eventually what worked for me was to turn the pool lights on at night and they would tend to congregate by the lights. Then I would scoop them up with a net. Then, most importantly, they must be squashed. I had a lot of help from my daughters collecting them until they found out I was squishing them. The first time I caught about 30 and just left them in the net, hanging on the wall. The next morning they were all back in the pool. After about 2 nights of gathering, they were all gone. i haven't had any back this summer. I'm not saying there isn't a chemical method to get rid of them, but the nighttime gathering and squishing method cleared mine up pretty fast. For what it's worth...

What IS going on with Garden Web? VaSheri, aka SheriLynn
Hey everyone. I've been trying to post for two days. I couldn't post because I couldn't log in anymore. I had not been disciplined or kicked off either. I contacted GW through emails, etc....gave them my screen log in name, 'SheriLynn', that I changed from VaSheri about five months ago. They emailed me back several times and it still wouldn't work.
Well, I just tried to sign in for about the 50th time and actually typed in 'Sherilynn' and password and it worked. HOWever.... and what name shows up now? VaSheri! This is nuts.
So, has anyone else been having trouble?
Ok..since I signed in as SheriLynn with two capital letters, it seems that their server is now case sensitive and won't recognize the capital letters. I had this problem with my website once. I think it had something to do with Apache. Anyway, the web host fixed it...and I didn't have to do anything.
As it is now, even though I can ONLY sign in as SheriLynn, only 'vasheri' will show up as my fka name.
So it goes the hiccups in web life.
There have been tons of comments on the Suggestions and Comments forum. (which is not listed in the That Home Site forums anymore, only on Gardenweb) My password would no longer work, and I had to completely re-register in order to log on.
Is vasheri a previous username for you? (or VaSheri since they have since removed the caps). Tamara on suggestions and comments mentioned that it was defaulting back to old user names. At one point she mentions to send her an email. However, link below is for a thread that talks more about these issues for people who have changed usernames during membership
Here is a link that might be useful: GardenWeb looking into username errors
Tamara posted yesterday that the login issues were resolved, and anyone still having a problem should contact her. see below link
Here is a link that might be useful: Thread with link to send an email to report login issues
VaSheri was my first garden name. I was involved in a lawsuit and changed it to SheriLynn...caps in both names.
Now, I must sign in with sherilynn, but vasheri is what shows up. If I try to sign in with vasheri, then it does not allow me to sign in at all.
I wrote garden web and they wrote me the same note just about word for word as on the link above. I'm sitting tight. =]

passiflora edulis surviving weeks of lows in the 20's
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but so far the passionfruit I started from seed in summer is still looking good even though its been so cold. The new growth that's closest to the ground looks pretty healthy with no wilting, though the exposed tendril looks soggy. I'll provide pictures next time I get out to my mom's garden.
Here's a better list of how everything else did in case you're interested.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Rainforest Garden: Hardiness list
Jax, thanks for your blog - I had pretty much the same experience as you - I'm in Panama City, on the water. My Brugs look like duck soup, as do many other plants, but the exposed 5-year old Plumeria, sited on the east side of my brick house, just lost a few leaves.
with no frost...certain varieties ofedulis can take low 20 to mid 20's no problem...nancy garrison, black knight and purple possum have been grown by m for years ( alas I have none this year....they live about 3-4 years and then die of root rot od fungus in the fall. Mine were huge......50 feet or better for all but nancy garrison.
Well, my edulis made it, the leaves came off but there seems to be a green wick in the remaining stems of vines, so I'll know for sure in a week or so. My single actinia had to be cut to about a foot above earth, but already has new green leaf-buds starting. I covered both plants with sheets for the few nights the freeze warning was posted. We got to 27 degrees one night, and 29 to 32 degrees for several others, for a total of 4 nights. My regular 'maypop' passies weren't even phased, as I knew they'd be fine without cover.
What I did find surprising was that my in-the-ground white easter lilies were just fine. I forgot to cover them the first night, and the young green plants (about 2 to 3 inches tall) were undazed. I covered them the next few evenings. They're great, not a bit frazzled by the drop in temps.
My brugs were covered, and although one suffered, I know she'll come right back, and is already re-growing at about 6 inches from ground. The trunk is still green, and I'm hoping for re-sprout higher up so haven't cut.

The Help star's factory worker mum, Mary Alice, was determined to build a better future for her six children, so she fought for U.S. welfare programmes, which provide support for low-income families.
But one ill-advised protest at the prestigious Brown University landed mother and baby daughter in jail.
David tells U.S. TV host Jay Leno, "My mother was an activist. I grew up in abject poverty. My mother fought for... welfare reform, and... my father always said, 'When I was in the barn, I was drinking beer, my friend was looking at me, and he said, Dan look at the TV, isn't that your wife and your daughter?'
"And it was my mother holding me, my finger was in my mouth, and we were being carted away by the police, being thrown in the back of a truck.
"We were in a holding cell for hours."
Her mother has always defended her decision to take her child to a protest.
Davis recalls, "She said, 'Well I wasn't gonna leave y'all at home, y'all were gonna be right there marching with me.'"

Door as headboard?
Has anyone used an old interior door for a headboard? I am thinking about this and could use some ideas on how to do it. Does anyone have a picture? Thanks for any suggestions you may have. By the way this door is solid wood, no glass.
I did that years ago.I just used 1"x 4" 's to attach the headboard to the bed frame.The frame will have holes in it to attach a headboard.Attach the 1"x4" to the back of the door with wood screws about 3 or 4 inches from the top of the door.The drill holes in the 1"x 4" 's where it will be bolted to the frame.Use long bolts and nuts to attach.I hope this is clearer than mud!LOL You cold go to a furniture store and look at the headboards that are attached to the frame and get the idea as to how to do it.It is very easy.Or you could hang the door on the wall above the bed with some kind of hanger...............Lillie
A friend of mine made a headboard from an old door. It was looking pretty sad, so she painted it and then did an antique glaze over top. Looked great.
How to hang it? Well you could use two 2 X 8 (or 2 X 6 if it's a lighter door). One is attached to the top of the headboard, one along the bottom. You have to screw the bits that go into the wall into the studs, or you will wake up with no headboard. LOL
Also, if you just do just the one at the top, the headboard will bow in at the bottom and eventually pull the screws out of the wall.
The headboard just hangs on the part that is attached to the wall.
I did the diagram for an upholstered headboard someone was trying to hang on the wall on another forum, so just ignore the part about reupholstering. LOL
Found these instructions, hope they help..
Here is a link that might be useful: headboard ideas 101
I didn't have a door, but had shutters. Took three and just stood them up at the head of the bed. DH used some thingy screws and put three of them together and they will fold either way. Used this in the guest room and whatever is my fancy for the month is attached between the shutters. For this month, flamingos are my fancy for this month, so I have several attached with wire that is hid in the shutters. Think you are using a door, my DD used a wooden door and made her dining room table. Wood doors are so cool. Hallngarden
Go to a lumber yard or door manufacturer and ask what they'll charge for culled doors. They sometimes cut them wrong or there is some other problem and then they can't use them. My son works for a window and door company and they just throw them away. He brought me several last spring and I use one of them laying across 2 short file cabinets for my planting station on the back porch. It works really good and I can use the file cabinets for storage.
You can also pad and cover the doors with fabric to make a nice headboard or make a quilt the size of the door and put a slip type backing on it so it will just slip over the door or make ties to hold it on. These look beautiful then you can make valances or curtains to match.

Tech News & Commentary
Best Buy (BBY) has come to look like a food court for consumer electronics-makers.
Instead of just presenting shoppers with rows of products divided by category, Best Buy is increasingly letting manufacturers run their own spaces in its stores to hawk their wares.
Sony (SNE) on Thursday became the latest consumer electronics-maker to open vendor showcases within Best Buy stores. It joins Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT) and Samsung in using the "store within a store" approach at Best Buy.
A "Sony Experience at Best Buy" shop. View Enlarged Image
Sony will open home-theater retail spaces in about 350 Best Buy locations nationwide starting in mid-May, the company said . The "Sony Experience at Best Buy" shop-in-shops will offer interactive demonstration areas and have dedicated Sony experts to assist customers.
Sony will show off such products as its 4K ultra high-definition televisions, home media players, sound bars, 4K camcorders and PlayStation 4 video-game consoles. Sony wants to demonstrate how its products work best together, Mike Mohan, Best Buy's chief merchandising officer, said in a statement.
Sony's securing of space within Best Buy stores shouldn't come as a big surprise. IBD predicted the move in February, after Sony announced plans to close 20 of its 31 U.S. retail stores.
Meanwhile, Sony is continuing to struggle financially. On Thursday, the Tokyo-based company slashed its earnings guidance for the third time in a year, Reuters reported. The news reflects poorly on Sony CEO Kaz Hirai, who has cut earnings guidance five times during his two years in charge, Reuters says. Sony blamed the latest downward revision on further losses brought on by the PC business that it is divesting.

Water softener programming
Hi there, first time poster here but long time viewer.
I just built a new home and just got the water softener installed along with a inline filter.
Aqua-pure CWS150ME, which has fine mesh resin.
Aqua-pure AP-801 filtration system
I have 4 people in the house, two adults and a baby and toddler.
Hardness = 10
Iron = 3.6
pH = 7.5
TDS 190 (145 on a different test)
Tannin = .6 (no tannin removal as of yet, I know the tannin could foul the resin)
I turned on the Clack WS-1 valve and programmed as the instructions said. I programmed the hardness at 24 and set the day override at 5 days. Factory setting are at 9 lb salt dose which is listed at 32000 grains.
I am curious if I should be setting the day override due to the iron levels, and if I should go into the deeper levels of programming of the valve to change salt dosing or anything. Anything else I should consider?
I have never had a softener before, so not exactly sure what I am doing. I did add super iron out to the salt tank per the label, and using Morton system saver II salt.

I have a question about the recipe "A Bowl of Red" from wssmom. I really love this recipe, but making it all in one day is a bit much. Can I make a huge batch of the chili paste and freeze it for later use? What would be the best way to freeze it?
Yes you can freeze it. Make sure it's room temp before freezing. You can freeze it in an air tight freezer safe container or a ziplock bag. If you use a ziplock bag, make sure all the air is out before closing
Merrill is a co-founder of Food52.
This is a great idea, and I'm sure others will be happy to know they can do this. Thanks for asking this question!
On wonderful! Would it be OK to maybe freeze them in individual portions in an ice cube tray first and then to put them all in a zip lock bag, or would that let too much air in? Maybe I should just freeze one portion per one small sandwich baggie so I can press all the air out?

Does anyone know some opensource Java library for reading and writing IPTC metadata to JPEG and TIFF? Now I'm using Apache Sanselan. Unfortunately, it can only read IPTC, not write (http://commons.apache.org/sanselan/formatsupport.html).
Will be very grateful for your assistance.
Take a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/iim4j/. Use IIMWriter to write IPTC IIM tags into (jpeg) images.
The Apache Commons Imaging (formerly sanselan) has added support for writing IPTC metadata in the svn repo code for their next release. I have verified that this is so in the latest trunk code checked out from svn repo. The code seems stable so I am hoping a release is not too far away. For my project this is good enough.
I've looked myself in the past but not found one. I would suggest looking at an open source project such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/image-tagger/ and see how they do it.
For reading metadata I think you should have a look on "metadata-extractor" - an Open Source Project (Apache 2.0 licence) that develops a Java library for reading metadata from image files.
At the moment, this project can get access to the following metadata of images:
The "metadata-extractor" is hosted at google code.
Here is a little straightforward code-example for the 2.4.0 version:
This seems to be quite a old question but following is some helpful info:
reading of metadata such as EXIF,IPTC..etc can be done using Apache Commons Imaging(Formerly Sanselan) or Metadata Extractor(by drew noaks).
writing of metadata can be done using Apache Commons Imaging using following classes: EXIF - ExifRewriter (http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging/apidocs/org/apache/commons/imaging/formats/jpeg/exif/ExifRewriter.html)
IPTC - JpegIptcRewriter (http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging/apidocs/org/apache/commons/imaging/formats/jpeg/iptc/JpegIptcRewriter.html)
XMP - JpegXmpRewriter (http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging/apidocs/org/apache/commons/imaging/formats/jpeg/xmp/JpegXmpRewriter.html)

One of only seven children's hospitals in nation selected as Top Hospital
by the Leapfrog Group
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC is one of only seven children's hospitals in the nation to have been selected as a 2008 Top Hospital by a national organization that evaluates patient safety at more than 1,220 participating hospitals.
Children's Hospital's recognition was based on the results of the 2008
Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which is the nation's premier hospital patient
safety evaluation tool. Thirty-three hospitals, including seven children's
hospitals and 26 hospitals participating in the voluntary survey were named
Top Hospitals by the Leapfrog Group. The Top Hospitals:
-- Fully met Leapfrog standards for implementing computer physician order
entry (CPOE) systems that help prevent medication errors, and have also
carefully tested their CPOE systems with Leapfrog's CPOE Evaluation
-- Fully met stringent performance standards for at least one of the
complex, high-risk procedures (such as heart surgery) done in that
particular hospital
-- Fully met the Intensive Care Unit staffing standard
-- Fully met or demonstrated "substantial progress" on 13 additional
nationally recognized safety practices, such as preventing pneumonia or
bloodstream infections.
"Families place an amazing amount of trust in us when they bring their children here for care, and because of that, Children's Hospital's highest priority has always been and always will be the safety and well-being of our patients," said Christopher A. Gessner, president, Children's Hospital. "This recognition is a testament to the tremendous dedication of our nurses, physicians, employees and staff to upholding that trust and working hard to provide a safe environment."
The voluntary survey evaluates hospitals about

The D.Gray-Man anime and manga series features a diverse cast of characters created by Katsura Hoshino. The series is set on a fictional Earth at the end of a 19th century where the Black Order wages war against the Millennium Earl (and Noah Family) who intends to destroy humanity with his army of Akuma, weapons created from the souls of the deceased when their loved ones curse God for their loss. To aid in their efforts, the Black Order scours the world for the 109 pieces of a divine substance called Innocence, which has been washed away during the Great Flood, and for people who can use anti-Akuma weapons, the Innocence in its weaponized form. These people, called Exorcists, are able to effectively fight against and destroy the Akuma. One Innocence, referred to as the "Great Heart" will assure their victory. However, the Earl is also looking for the Innocence and the Heart with the intent to destroy them.

ABC News' Rick Klein reports: Details are sketchy about the latest Senate compromise on the public option, involving the creation of a non-profit insurance exchange modeled on the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan. But Republicans may like what they see even more than Democrats, former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., told us on ABCNews.com's "Top Line" today.
"As a matter of fact, … most of the Republican alternatives actually are modeled after the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan," Santorum said. "I don't think Republicans have a problem with a plan if you're going to have the government pay — which is what the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan is — as long as it's a private-sector system."
It's not yet clear whether all Democrats will be on board for the compromise now being hammered out by a group of 10 Senate moderates — and liberals' buy-in is not assured.
"These are things that Republicans have argued for. And so for the Democrats to come and say, 'Well, this is the public option' — I don't see too many on the left signing on to that," Santorum said.
On Afghanistan, Santorum criticized President Obama for offering a date by which troop withdrawals will begin: "All I would suggest is that — you know, maybe some of your folks who are listening can answer this question: Name me a time in the history of the world where one of the warring parties has announced in advance that they were leaving and were going to end the war at a certain time and won the war?"
(If you want to offer any such suggestions, the comments field is open below, or you can respond via Twitter @thenote.)
Santorum also told us that he's "absolutely taking a look" at running for president in 2012. He also declined to say whether he thinks former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is qualified to be president.
Watch the interview with Sen. Santorum HERE. We also chatted with Michelle Cottle, a senior editor at The New Republic, about the latest on the story of the White House party crashers, the health care debate, plus Sarah Palin's presidential prospects.

Reds open nursing suite to help breast-feeding moms at the ballparkMike Oz at Big League Stew 15 hrs ago
The Cincinnati Reds announced a new ballpark feature Monday that any mother will love: A nursing suite where breast-feeding moms can retreat during a game for a more comfortable, more private moment with their child.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
Phil Castellini, the Reds' chief operating officer, told ESPN that the club had an increasing number of women asking for a better place to nurse. Pro sports stadiums are loud, crowded and sometimes sticky — so finding a serene place is a bit of a challenge. As a father of five, Castellini knew this was a serious demand, so the Reds created something special at Great American Ball Park.
"It just didn't make sense that we would put a couple chairs in the women's bathrooms," Castellini told ESPN.

Mets swing two trades to strengthen their bullpenMike Oz at Big League Stew 19 hrs ago
With a week between them and opening day, the New York Mets pulled off two trades Monday that should strengthen their bullpen.
The club acquired Alex Torres from the San Diego Padres earlier in the day, then swung a deal to get Jerry Blevins from the Washington Nationals on Monday afternoon.
Both are left-handed relievers, a scarce quantity on the Mets roster before this. Sean Gilmartin, a Rule 5 draft pick from the Minnesota Twins, was the only lefty reliever still with the club at this juncture of spring training. Gilmartin is 24 and has never pitched in the big leagues. He had a 5.19 ERA in 10 Grapefruit League appearances.
The price for the Mets' late-March shopping spree? Matt dan Dekker, a backup outfielder, is going to the Nats, while pitching prospect Cory Mazzoni and a player to be named later are headed to the Padres. All in all, not too bad.
Just like that, #Mets looking at carrying not one, not two, but THREE lefties in their Opening Day bullpen: Blevins, Alex Torres, Gilmartin.

AL Central 2015 preview: Indians, White Sox, Royals eager to dethrone TigersMike Oz at Big League Stew 21 hrs ago
With opening day approaching, the Big League Stew crew is here to get you up to speed on the season ahead. We're examining each division over the next two weeks, looking at the big questions, the important players and making our predictions. Our series continues with the AL Central.
So many unknowns in the AL Central this year: Are the Detroit Tigers, the four-year reigning champs, still the power of the division? Will the Kansas City Royals, the wild card Cinderellas of last year, make a postseason run again? Can the Chicago White Sox, big movers and shakers in the offseason, challenge for the crown?
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
As you can see, the AL Central is a particularly stacked division that should be one of the best races to watch this year. We don't have all the answers, because it's March and nobody does. But The Stew's Chris Cwik, Mike Oz and Mark Townsend are here to delve deeper into what's happening in the AL Central.
Justin Verlander takes selfie with unsuspecting Justin Verlander fanMike Oz at Big League Stew 3 days ago
"Hey, kid, turn around!"
It's hard to look at Justin Verlander's latest selfie and not immediately have that reaction. You see, Verlander snapped a pic with a kid in a Verlander shirsey inside a Starbucks. Only the kid was turned around looking at the barista and not the guy whose name was on his back.
"Kid, turn around, hurry!"
Roy Halladay did something similar at an amusement park in January, but that was with a fully grown fan. For the sake of the kid, we're happy to pass along that Verlander said the kid was surprised when he turned around. We hope Verlander signed the kid's coffee cup or something. (Wait, why is that kid in a Starbucks line, shouldn't he be in school?!)
Nonetheless, we've decided this could be a great scavenger-hunt type game for pro athletes — trying to find fans wearing their jerseys out in the wild. Like at a coffee shop. Or the mall. Or a grocery store. We'd definitely enjoy the pictures.

Brady Aiken, unsigned No. 1 draft pick, announces he had Tommy John surgeryMike Oz at Big League Stew 4 days ago
The wild story of prized pitching prospect Brady Aiken just got wilder: Aiken, 18, announced Thursday that he had Tommy John surgery this week, seven months after he failed to come to terms with the Houston Astros as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 amateur draft.
At the time, there was a dispute about the health of Aiken's elbow. The two sides had reportedly reached an agreement with a $6.5 million signing bonus. But after Aiken's physical, the Astros said they weren't happy with what they saw in his elbow. Believing he would need Tommy John surgery soon, the Astros reportedly lowered their offer to $5 million.

Ex-Cardinal Curt Ford attacked near St. Louis, told 'go back to Ferguson'Mike Oz at Big League Stew 4 days ago
Curt Ford, a St. Louis Cardinals outfielder from 1985-1988, was the victim in an alleged racially motivated attack Wednesday at a St. Louis-area gas station. Ford was punched in the face and, according to police, was told by his attacker: "Go back to Ferguson you (racial slur)."
The attack happened at a Petro Mart gas station in Fenton, Mo., about 28 miles from Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb that was the epicenter of protests and racial turmoil after Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer there last August.

According to police, Ford was minding his business when his attacker — who was later arrested and identified as 37-year-old James Street — blind-sided him with a punch as they were both inside gas station's store.
Prosecutors charged Street with one count of assault motivated by discrimination in the third degree, a class D felony. His criminal history includes guilty pleas for possession of marijuana and assault.

Is baseball dying? Nope, actually the values of MLB teams are skyrocketingMike Oz at Big League Stew 5 days ago
There's a common belief among some sports fans that baseball is a dying game, mostly because the NFL gets more attention year-round. But the numbers say otherwise. Baseball isn't dying. In fact, the values of MLB teams are growing at an astounding rate.
Forbes published its annual list of MLB team values and profits Wednesday, and here's the big headline: Baseball has never been so profitable and teams have never been so valuable.

Among the interesting takeaways:
• The Yankees had the highest revenue last year, with $508 million, but only $8.1 million of that was profit, according to Forbes.

The Astros 2017 World Series ring: the best giveaway that never happened
The dream is dead. What was certainly the boldest baseball giveaway of the year — the 2017 Houston Astros replica World Series ring dreamed up by their Triple-A affiliate, the Fresno Grizzlies — is no more. Maybe it was too bold?
Not even a full day after the Grizzlies unveiled the rings as part of their Aug. 15 "Back to the Future" promotion, the team announced it was shelving the idea and thinking of something else to give away that night. The official explanation: They didn't want to "jinx" the Astros.
From the Grizzlies' press release:
"We appreciate that our affiliate is as optimistic as our fans are about the future of the Astros," said Astros president Reid Ryan. "The Grizzlies will see some of the Astros top talent coming through Chukchansi Park, and we wish their whole team the best of luck in the upcoming 2015 season."
Prince Fielder shows us how to beat the shift — with a bunt single
Your browser does not support iframes.
You take what the other team gives you. That's a sports cliché , sure, but we'll damned if it's not sound advice some of the time. With more MLB teams using defensive shifts these days — to the point where new commissioner Rob Manfred floated the idea of banning them — some people have argued that hitters should teach opposing teams a lesson.
Put down a bunt the opposite way. That'll show 'em.
And that's just what Texas Rangers slugger Prince Fielder did Tuesday, dropping one toward third base while the opposing Los Angeles Angels had only one defender on that side of the field. Fielder easily made it to first with a single. Shift busted!

Yankees recreate famous Babe Ruth scene from 'The Sandlot'
Your browser does not support iframes.
Here at The Stew, we love us some baseball movies, and perhaps none more than "The Sandlot." That hardly makes us unique, though. Everybody loves "The Sandlot," including, apparently, the New York Yankees.
What you'll find above is a wonderful little skit where current Yanks players recreate the famous Babe Ruth scene from the movie. It stars Brett Gardner as Smalls, learning that he just offered up a ball autographed by Ruth to Hercules, the feared ball-chomping dog that lives beyond the sandlot's fence.

A-Rod, however, gets no love again from the Yanks. He couldn't have played Benny the Jet?
