This is the hose nozzle that harnesses the Bernoulli principle of fluid dynamics to increase water velocity. Water is accelerated through a specially designed, narrow channel inside the nozzle, producing a powerful stream or spray that quickly washes away detritus. Manufactured with a stainless steel sprayer, aircraft-grade aluminum shaft, and a vulcanized rubber exterior, the nozzle resists corrosion and withstands the rigors of yard work. The unit produces five spray patterns from a powerful, narrow stream to a broad mist. Rotating the head releases the water, eliminating the need to constantly clutch a trigger, and the offset, ergonomic handle makes it easy to hold and direct the spray. Fits all standard 5/8" hoses. 9" L x 4" W x 2 1/2" D. (6 oz.)

Fantastic hose nozzle
By Toni
from Prescott, AZ
So pleased with this nozzle. No leaking or annoying drips that always land on my clothing and toes. Very solid with a comfy grip and the stream has been strong, which is what I wanted, not at all wimpy. So easy to attach and remove. My neighbors just ordered one, based on the frolicking happy dance I do in the yard now.

Doesn't live up to it's billing
By wild wilds
from Phoenix,AZ
Bought this for a specific use to power wash patio and wash off solar panels.It performed no better than the ordinary nozzle I've been using for years.Was very dissapointed.The total price delivered was far too much compared to the results.I returned it within five days for a refund.Been very satisfied with my other purchases through HS.This wasn't one .

Effective but no fire hose
By wrokky
from Ontario, Canada
I expected a high pressure stream of water that would effectively wash second floor windows - not that powerful
Fantastic! One for a friend, one for me
By Lydia
from Endwell, NY
Can't yet judge durability - only had it a few days, but it appears and feels like it is very well made and has your lifetime warranty - thanks!

Easy & Effective
By Schmiddlesmom
from Washington DC
Very easy to connect to hose & does not leak or drip. It opens with a twist & light spray & at your discression gradually opens to a stronger stream then forceful power wash & finally a fine misty stream. It is very easy to use. Waters plants in the backyard well & powers off debris on the concrete.
Nozzle looks very impressive
By Sal
from Pierson, FL
Nozzle does not have the pressure to wash out car wheel wells effectively.
Easy to use nozzle
By w4onc
from Norfolk, VA
The adjustments allow for watering delicate flowers to cleaning the car or house with a more robust stream.
Great Hose Nozzle
By PRB
from Burke, VA
Well constructed nozzle that is very easy to use. I especilly like the flow control so that large garden areas can be watered quickly and the dribble capability keeps container plants from spilling dirt as was the case with other hose nozzles
Excellent hose nozzle
By PJ
from Vancouver, WA
I like this better than other nozzles because of the handle, which gets your hand away from the water and is easier to grip.

I was at that show, and you were right in saying that it was an eclectic line up. U2 were amazing as usual...and it was great to see them in collaboration with Bruce, Mick,Patti and the Black Eyed Peas...it must'be been nice for them and for you to have a change from the sameness of the tour. I enjoyed seeing the band 5 times so far on the 360 tour and this was a breath of fresh air for me as well. Always great to see how things are from your perspective!

This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/665,974 (Attorney Docket No. 022128-000300US (formerly 020979-002600US)), filed Sep. 18, 2003, the full disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The invention generally relates to medical devices and methods. More specifically, the invention relates to energy based devices and methods for treatment of patent foramen ovale. Fetal blood circulation is much different than adult circulation. Because fetal blood is oxygenated by the placenta, rather than the fetal lungs, blood is generally shunted away from the lungs to the peripheral tissues through a number of vessels and foramens that remain patent (i.e., open) during fetal life and typically close shortly after birth. For example, fetal blood passes directly from the right atrium through the foramen ovale into the left atrium, and a portion of blood circulating through the pulmonary artery trunk passes through the ductus arteriosus to the aorta. This fetal circulation is shown in attached At birth, as a newborn begins breathing, blood pressure in the left atrium rises above the pressure in the right atrium. In most newborns, a flap of tissue closes the foramen ovale and heals together. In approximately 20,000 babies born each year in the US, the flap of tissue is missing, and the hole remains open as an atrial septal defect (ASD). In a much more significant percentage of the population (estimates range from 5% to 20% of the entire population), the flap is present but does not heal together. This condition is known as a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Whenever the pressure in the right atrium rises above that in the left atrium, blood pressure can push this patent channel open, allowing blood to flow from the right atrium to the left atrium. Patent foramen ovale has long been considered a relatively benign condition, since it typically has little effect on the body's circulation. More recently, however, it has been found that a significant number of strokes may be caused at least in part by PFO. In some cases, stroke may occur because a PFO allows blood containing small thrombi to flow directly from the venous circulation to the arterial circulation and into the brain, rather than flowing to the lungs where the thrombi can become trapped and gradually dissolved. In other cases, thrombi might form in the patent channel of the PFO itself and become dislodged when the pressures cause blood to flow from the right atrium to the left atrium. It has been estimated that patients with PFOs who have already had cryptogenic strokes have a 4% risk per year of having another stroke. Further research is currently being conducted into the link between PFO and stroke. At the present time, if someone with a PFO has two or more strokes, the healthcare system in the U.S. may reimburse a surgical or other interventional procedure to definitively close the PFO. It is likely, however, that a more prophylactic approach would be warranted to close PFOs to prevent the prospective occurrence of a stroke. The cost and potential side-effects and complications of such a procedure must be low, however, since the event rate due to PFOs is relatively low. In younger patients, for example, PFOs sometimes close by themselves over time without any adverse health effects. Another highly prevalent and debilitating condition�chronic migraine headache�has also been linked with PFO. Although the exact link has not yet been explained, PFO closure has been shown to eliminate or significantly reduce migraine headaches in many patients. Again, prophylactic PFO closure to treat chronic migraine headaches might be warranted if a relatively non-invasive procedure were available. Currently available interventional therapies for PFO are generally fairly invasive and/or have potential drawbacks. One strategy is simply to close a PFO during open heart surgery for another purpose, such as heart valve surgery. This can typically be achieved via a simple procedure such as placing a stitch or two across the PFO with vascular suture. Performing open heart surgery purely to close an asymptomatic PFO or even a very small ASD, however, would be very hard to justify. A number of interventional devices for closing PFOs percutaneously have also been proposed and developed. Most of these devices are the same as or similar to ASD closure devices. They are typically �clamshell� or �double umbrella� shaped devices which deploy an area of biocompatible metal mesh or fabric (ePTFE or Dacron, for example) on each side of the atrial septum, held together with a central axial element, to cover the PFO. This umbrella then heals into the atrial septum, with the healing response forming a uniform layer of tissue or �pannus� over the device. Such devices have been developed, for example, by companies such as Nitinol Medical Technologies, Inc. (Boston, Mass.) and AGA Medical, Inc. (White Bear Lake, Minn.). U.S. Pat. No. 6,401,720 describes a method and apparatus for thoracoscopic intracardiac procedures which may be used for treatment of PFO. Although available devices may work well in some cases, they also face a number of challenges. Relatively frequent causes of complications include, for example, improper deployment, device embolization into the circulation and device breakage. In some instances, a deployed device does not heal into the septal wall completely, leaving an exposed tissue which may itself be a nidus for thrombus formation. Furthermore, currently available devices are generally complex and expensive to manufacture, making their use for prophylactic treatment of PFO impractical. Additionally, currently available devices typically close a PFO by placing material on either side of the tunnel of the PFO, compressing and opening the tunnel acutely, until blood clots on the devices and causes flow to stop. Research into methods and compositions for tissue welding has been underway for many years. Of particular interest are technologies developed by McNally et.al., (as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,391,049) and Fusion Medical (as shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,156,613, 5,669,934, 5,824,015 and 5,931,165). These technologies all disclose energy delivery to tissue solders and patches to join tissue and form anastamoses between arteries, bowel, nerves, etc. Also of interest are a number of patents by inventor Sinofsky, relating to laser suturing of biological materials (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,725,522, 5,569,239, 5,540,677 and 5,071,417). None of these disclosures, however, show methods or apparatus suitable for positioning the tissues of the PFO for welding or for delivering the energy to a PFO to be welded. Causing thermal trauma to a patent ovale has been described in two patent applications by Stambaugh et al. (PCT Publication Nos. WO 99/18870 and WO 99/18871). The devices and methods described, however, cause trauma to PFO tissues to hopefully eventually cause scar tissue formation which will close the PFO. Using such devices and methods, the PFO actually remains patent immediately after the procedure and only closes sometime later. Therefore, a physician may not know whether the treatment has worked until long after the treatment procedure has been performed. Frequently, scar tissue may fail to form or may form incompletely, resulting in a still patent PFO. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have improved methods and apparatus for treating a PFO. Ideally, such methods and apparatus would help seal the PFO during, immediately after or soon after performing a treatment procedure. Also ideally, such devices and methods would leave no foreign material (or very little material) in a patient's heart. Furthermore, such methods and apparatus would preferably be relatively simple to manufacture and use, thus rendering prophylactic treatment of PFO, such as for stroke prevention, a viable option. At least some of these objectives will be met by the present invention. The present invention generally provides devices and methods for treating patent foramen ovale (PFO). More specifically, the devices and methods involve advancing a catheter device to a position in the heart for treating the patent foramen ovale and applying energy to (or removing energy from) tissues adjacent a PFO to substantially close the PFO acutely. By �substantially,� it is meant that a stable tissue bridge will be formed across the PFO, which will withstand physiologic pressures. A substantially closed PFO, however, may still have one or more small gaps or openings, which will in at least some cases close over time via the healing process. By �acutely,� it is meant that the PFO is substantially closed when the closure procedure is completed. Thus, acute closure distinguishes devices and methods of the present invention from prior protocols, which rely on delayed PFO closure via tissue healing and scarring. �Acutely,� for purposes of this application, does not mean temporarily, since devices and methods of the present invention will typically provide for permanent (or at least long-term) PFO closure. The phrase �tissues adjacent a PFO,� or simply �PFO tissues,� for the purposes of this application, means any tissues in, around or in the vicinity of a PFO which may be used or manipulated to help close the PFO. For example, tissues adjacent a PFO include septum primum tissue, septum secundum tissue, atrial septal tissue lateral to the septum primum or septum secundum, tissue within the tunnel of the PFO, tissue on the right atrial surface or the left atrial surface of the atrial septum and the like. By �application or removal� of energy, it is meant that energy may be transferred either to or from PFO tissues. In various embodiments, any of a number of energy transfer devices and forms of energy may be used to provide such energy transfer. Types of energy used may include, for example, radiofrequency energy, cryogenic energy, laser energy, ultrasound energy, resistive heat energy, microwave energy and the like. Application of energy to (or removal of energy from) tissues to substantially close the PFO acutely may sometimes be referred to as �tissue welding.� Preferably, tissue welding methods of the present invention will be performed without using tissue soldering material or other foreign material. In some embodiments, however, it may be advantageous to use one or more solder materials. Various solders and other tissue soldering matrices are described more fully in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/665,974 (Attorney Docket No. 022128-000300US), which was previously incorporated by reference. Examples of tissue solders or adhesives which may be used include, but are not limited to, autologous blood, albumin, collagen, fibrin, cyanoacrylates, mussel byssus adhesives, polymer hot melt adhesives and the like. In some embodiments of the present invention, devices and methods further provide for bringing tissues adjacent a PFO together (or �apposing� tissues). In various embodiments, tissues may be apposed before, during and/or after application or removal of energy to the tissues. Generally, energy application or removal will act to denature collagen in the PFO tissues. If the tissues are apposed before and/or during denaturation and/or while the collagen in the tissues is allowed to renature, the collagen in once-separated tissues binds together to bring the tissues together. Therefore, although not required, some embodiments of the invention include one or more devices for bringing (and possibly holding) tissues together before, during and/or after energy application or removal. Such devices include, for example, PFO tissue covering members, which may also be suction or vacuum application members, expandable members within the PFO tunnel, distal tip members for contacting a left atrial surface of PFO tissue and the like. By providing for substantial, acute closure of a PFO, devices and methods of the invention may be advantageous for preventing stroke, treating migraine headaches and/or preventing or treating other medical conditions caused or exacerbated by PFO. In one aspect of the present invention, a method of treating a PFO in a heart involves advancing a catheter device to a position in the heart for treating the PFO and applying energy to the tissues with the catheter device to substantially close the PFO acutely. In some embodiments, as just mentioned, the method further includes bringing the tissues at least partially together, preferably using the catheter device but in some embodiments using a separate device. For example, in some embodiments the tissues are brought together before applying the energy. Optionally, the tissues may then be held together while applying the energy. In some embodiments, the tissues are held together after the energy has been applied as well. The method may also involve cooling the tissues after the energy has been applied. Bringing the tissues at least partially together may be accomplished by any of a number of suitable devices and methods. In one embodiments, for example, the tissues are contacted with a tissue covering member adjacent a distal end of the catheter device. The tissue covering member may cause blood pressure in a left atrium of the heart to bring the tissues at least partially together. In some embodiments, the tissue covering member may be further used to apply vacuum force to the tissues. Although the catheter device may be positioned in a number of different locations for treating a PFO, in some embodiments advancing the catheter involves positioning a distal end of the catheter in a right atrium of the heart. Advancing the catheter may also include advancement over a guide catheter or guidewire extending into the PFO. Optionally, the guide catheter or guidewire may extend through the PFO into a left atrium of the heart. In some embodiments, the method further includes retracting a sheath portion of the guide catheter to expose an expanding member within the PFO, the exposed expanding member bringing the tissues adjacent the PFO at least partially together. Such an expanding member may provide lateral force to the tissues adjacent the PFO, for example, and in some embodiments will do so without extending into the left atrium. As is explained further below, such expanding members may comprise �fishmouth,� two-pronged members in one embodiment, and may be constructed of shape memory materials, spring-loaded materials or the like. By spreading PFO tissues laterally between two prongs (for example), the tissues come together in the area between the prongs. Optionally, the method may also include contacting a left atrial surface of at least one of a septum primum and a septum secundum with a distal portion of the expanding member and retracting the expanding member to bring the tissues adjacent the PFO together. For example, the distal portion may contact the septum primum and pull it toward the right side of the heart, into contact with the septum secundum. At some point after the expanding member has been used to appose the tissues adjacent the PFO, it may be advantageous to retract the expanding member to a position within the guide catheter. For example, the expanding member may be retracted in some embodiments before removing the guide catheter through the main catheter device. As mentioned, in some embodiments the catheter device may be advanced over a guidewire rather than a guide catheter. The guidewire typically extends through the PFO and may include an expanding portion along its length for expanding within the PFO. Optionally, the guidewire may extend into the left atrium, and the method may optionally include contacting a left atrial surface of at least one of a septum primum and a septum secundum with a distal portion of the guidewire and retracting the guidewire to bring the tissues adjacent the PFO together. Any suitable type of energy may be applied to the PFO tissues to provide acute PFO closure. In some embodiments, for example, monopolar or bipolar radiofrequency energy is applied, while in alternative embodiments cryogenic, resistive heat, ultrasound, microwave, or laser energy, heat energy in the form of heated fluid such as saline, or the like may be applied. Energy may be applied by energizing a single conductive member of the catheter device or multiple conductive members, in various embodiments. Generally, any suitable devices for energy delivery are contemplated. Some embodiments of the method may further involve monitoring an amount of energy applied to the tissues. For example, monitoring the energy may involve monitoring a temperature of the tissues, an impedance of the tissues and/or the like. Such a method may further involve determining when a sufficient amount of energy has been applied to the tissues to acutely close the PFO. Optionally, the method may also include discontinuing the application of energy when the sufficient amount of energy has been applied. Any of the above methods may also involve directly visualizing the PFO and the adjacent tissues using at least one visualization device coupled with the catheter device. Such a visualization device may include a fiber optic device, an ultrasound device or any other suitable visualization device. In another aspect of the invention, a method of treating a PFO in a heart involves advancing a catheter device to a position in the heart for treating the patent foramen ovale and removing energy from tissues adjacent the patent foramen ovale with the catheter device to substantially close the patent foramen ovale acutely. Removing energy from the tissues may be achieved using any suitable device(s), such as by contacting the tissues with one or more cryogenic energy members. Any of the additional or alternative method steps described above may be applied to this aspect of the invention. In another aspect of the invention, apparatus for treating a PFO in a heart includes a catheter device having a proximal end and a distal end and at least one energy transmission member adjacent the distal end for applying energy to, or removing energy from, tissues adjacent a PFO to acutely close the PFO. Some embodiments further include at least one tissue apposition member adjacent the distal end for at least partially bringing the tissues together. In some embodiments, the tissue apposition member comprises a tissue covering member. The tissue covering member may have any suitable configuration and be constructed from any suitable material(s). In some embodiments, for example, the tissue covering member has a suction cup or cone shape. In some embodiments, the tissue covering member fully covers the opening of the PFO to allow blood pressure in a left atrium of the heart to bring the tissues together. Additionally, the tissue covering member may comprise a suction member for applying vacuum force to the tissues to bring the tissues together. Optionally, the tissue covering member may be expandable from a first delivery dimension to a second treatment dimension. In some embodiments, the catheter further comprises a flexible isolation portion disposed between the tissue covering member and the catheter device to prevent unwanted movement of the tissue covering member during use. In some embodiments, the at least one energy transmission member is coupled with the tissue covering member. Some embodiments of the apparatus further include a guide member for advancing through the PFO, with the catheter device being slidably disposed over the guide member. The guide member may include, for example a guide catheter and at least one expandable member disposed within the guide catheter, wherein the guide catheter is retractable to expose the expandable member to allow it to expand within the PFO. The expandable member, in turn, may have any suitable configuration, but in some embodiments it includes at least two members that expand apart to provide lateral force to the tissues adjacent the PFO, such as a �fishmouth� or two-prong expandable member. When exposed, the expanding member may also provide dilatory force to the tissues adjacent the PFO. To provide expandability, the expandable member may be made of shape memory material, may be spring loaded, and/or the like. In alternative embodiments, the guide member may comprise a guidewire having an expandable portion along its length. For example, the expandable portion may be a divided portion, the divided portion comprising expandable shape memory material. Optionally, the guide member may include at least one tip for contacting a left atrial surface of the tissues adjacent the PFO. Such a tip may be conformable to the left atrial surface. The guide member may be retractable to engage the at least one tip with the left atrial surface. In any of the above embodiments, one or more guide members, or component parts of a guide member, may act as one or more energy transmission members. In some embodiments, for example, an expanding member may act as a monopolar or bipolar radiofrequency electrode. The at least one energy transmission member of the catheter device may comprise any suitable energy transmission device or combination of devices. For example, the transmission member may transmit radiofrequency energy, cryogenic energy, resistive heat energy, ultrasound energy, microwave energy, laser energy or any other form of energy for treating PFO tissues. In preferred embodiments, the energy transmission member comprises a monopolar or two bipolar radiofrequency transmission members. Such a transmission member, for example, may be curved to approximate the curvature of the PFO. In other embodiments, straight transmission members, mesh or braided transmission members, multiple pin-point transmission members or the like may be used. In some embodiments, the energy transmission member(s) are coupled with the tissue apposition member. Thus, tissues may be brought into apposition and energy may be applied using the tissue apposition member. In some embodiments, energy transmission member is movable along at least part of a circumference of the at least one tissue apposition member. In alternative embodiments, the energy transmission member comprises a guide member for advancing through the PFO, with the catheter device being slidably disposed over the guide member. Again, the guide member typically includes at least one expandable portion for expanding within the PFO to at least partially bring together the tissues adjacent the PFO, and in some embodiments the expandable member acts as the energy transmission member(s). In still other embodiments, energy transmission members may be coupled with both the tissue apposition member and the guide member/expandable member. Apparatus of the invention may further include at least one sensor coupled with the catheter device for sensing an amount of energy delivered to the tissues by the at least one energy transmission member. Sensors, for example, may be infrared sensors, thermistors, thermocouples or the like, though any sensors may be used. Optionally, a microprocessor may be coupled with the at least one sensor for processing sensed data to determine when the amount of delivered energy has reached a desired amount of energy. These and other embodiments are described in further detail in the following description related to the appended drawing figures. Devices and methods of the present invention generally provide for patent foramen ovale (PFO) treatment through application or removal of energy. Methods involve advancing a catheter device to a position in the heart for treating the PFO and applying energy to (or removing energy from) tissues adjacent a PFO to substantially close the PFO acutely. Terms such as �substantially,� �acutely,� and �tissues adjacent the PFO� are defined above in the Brief Summary of the Invention. Devices of the invention generally include a catheter device having a proximal end and a distal end and at least one energy transmission member adjacent the distal end for applying energy to or removing energy from tissues adjacent the PFO. As mentioned above in the background section, With reference to Although the embodiment in Referring now to In general, catheter device 210 comprises an elongate, flexible catheter which may be advanced through the vasculature of a patient to a position in the heart for treating a PFO. Thus, catheter device 210 may have any suitable length, diameter, cross-sectional profile and the like, and may be constructed of any suitable material. Tissue apposition member 212 (or multiple tissue apposition members in some embodiments) is disposed at or near the distal end of catheter device 210. Although many different types of devices may be used to bring tissues of the PFO together, in one embodiment (shown in In this and other embodiments, tissue apposition member 212 may also include one or more vacuum members for applying vacuum to the PFO tissues. In one embodiment, for example, suction lumen 236 ( Tissue apposition member 212, especially when configured as a PFO-covering member, may be collapsible/expandable to facilitate advancement and delivery of catheter device 210. For example, tissue apposition member 212 may comprise a collapsible polymeric cover disposed over an expandable/collapsible frame. In other embodiments, tissue apposition member 212 may be constructed of a shape memory material, such as nitinol or another shape memory metal, spring stainless steel or the like, to allow catheter device 210 to be delivered through vasculature and then allow tissue apposition member 212 to expand to contact and appose the PFO tissues. In some embodiments, catheter device 210 and tissue apposition member 212 may be delivered to a location for PFO treatment through an introducer sheath. To further enhance the use of apparatus 200, an angle between catheter device 210 and tissue apposition member 212 may be selected to approximate a convenient angle for delivery and/or deployment. In one embodiment, for example, the angle between catheter device 210 and tissue apposition member 212 may approximate the angle between the inferior vena cava and the interatrial septum. Any other configuration, combination of angles and the like is contemplated, however. In some embodiments, for example, direct steering of the angle of tissue apposition member 212 relative to catheter device 210 may be employed to enhance delivery of catheter device 210 to a treatment site. To further facilitate use of apparatus 200, catheter device 210 may include one or more radiopaque markers 226 for facilitating visualization of the device 210. Catheter device 210 may also include a �flexible isolation portion� 228, which in some embodiments comprises a rigid but shapeable portion disposed toward the distal end of catheter device 210, between tissue apposition member 212 and the generally flexible proximal portion of catheter device 210. Flexible isolation portion 228 may help to isolate tissue apposition member 212 from some or all movement experienced by the more flexible, proximal portion of catheter device 210, thus allowing a PFO treatment procedure to be performed without significant movement of tissue apposition member 212. In other embodiments, flexible isolation portion 228 may be more flexible than the more proximal portion of catheter device 210, thus enhancing maneuverability, shapability or the like of the position of tissue apposition member 212 relative to the more proximal portion. Energy transmission members 214 may comprise any of a number of devices and may transmit any suitable type of energy for closing a PFO. Some types of energy which may be used, for example, include radiofrequency, cryogenic, resistive heat, ultrasound, microwave and laser energy. Radiofrequency energy transmission members 214 may be either monopolar or bipolar, with monopolar catheter devices also including a grounding member. Energy transmission members 214 may have any suitable configuration. For example, they may have a curved shape to approximate a radius of curvature of the PFO, as shown in As mentioned earlier, the phrase �tissue welding� herein is used to mean application of energy to (or removal of energy from) PFO tissues to substantially and acutely close the PFO. Energy transmission members 214 generally provide for transfer of energy to or from PFO tissues to denature collagen in the tissues, and when the collagen is allowed to renature, with the tissues apposed, the once separated tissues bind together to form a stable tissue bridge. This stable tissue bridge substantially and acutely closes the PFO, preferably permanently. PFO tissues may, in some embodiments, be brought and held together by one or more tissue apposition members 212. Energy transmission members 214 provide sufficient energy transfer, for a sufficient time, to weld the tissues. The time span of energy transmission may be, for example, from about 0.5 seconds to about 15 minutes, and more preferably from about 30 seconds to about 5 minutes. Energy transmission, in some embodiments, may be from about 0.5 Watts to about 100 Watts, and more preferably from about 2 Watts to about 20 Watts. Any other suitable energy and timing combination may also be used. In one experimental example, a PFO in a section of pig heart tissue used ex-vivo in a flowing saline test fixture was closed by applying suction to appose the PFO tissues and applying RF energy at approximately 25 watts for 7 minutes. RF energy application was then discontinued, but suction was continued for an additional 1 minute to keep tissues in apposition while the tissue cooled, to allow collagen in the tissues to reorganize and bind together to form a stable tissue bridge. Many other energy amounts, energy application times, tissue apposition times and the like are contemplated, however. Although any type of energy may be transmitted by energy transmission members 214, some embodiments will make use of monopolar or bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy. Devices may use monopolar radiofrequency energy, for example, wherein energy is applied simultaneously to all conductive elements, completing the circuit through an external ground pad affixed to the skin of the patient. Alternatively, bipolar energy may be applied to all conductive elements simultaneously, and the circuit completed through a ground element incorporated elsewhere on apparatus 200. Further embodiments may include applying bipolar energy between two or more energy transmission members 214, which are electrically isolated from one another within catheter device 210. Control systems coupled with energy transmission members 214 or tissue apposition member 212, or otherwise disposed within apparatus 200, may sense an amount of energy delivered to PFO tissues and, optionally, may automatically stop energy delivery upon detecting a change in condition of energy delivery, for instance an increase in electrical resistance or impedance in PFO tissues or in apparatus 200, an increased energy draw from the treatment apparatus, and/or the like. In some embodiments, energy delivery may be automatically stopped when an amount of delivered energy reaches a desired level, such as an amount of energy sufficient to substantially close the PFO. The amount of delivered energy may be monitored by any suitable method, such as monitoring temperature or impedance in PFO tissues or the like. In some embodiments, one or more sensors coupled with tissue apposition member 212, energy transmission members 214, or any other part of apparatus 200 may be used for monitoring such indicia. Examples of sensor devices include but are not limited to infrared sensing devices, thermistors and thermocouples. A control system may also include a microprocessor coupled with the sensors to determine when a desired amount of energy has been delivered and/or to automatically stop energy transmission. In alternative embodiments, a microprocessor may be included in apparatus 200 which can sense, monitor and control energy delivery, thus not requiring separate sensors. With continued reference to Guide catheter 220 may contain one or more expandable members 222 or other similar devices for expanding within the PFO to help bring the PFO tissues together, anchor catheter device to the PFO tissues, or both. As shown in Expandable member 222 may have any suitable configuration and may be constructed from any suitable materials. For example, expandable member 222 may be spring loaded, made of shape memory material, such as nitinol or spring stainless steel or the like. Alternatively, expandable member 222 may be expanded mechanically by one or more expansion members coupled with expandable member 222 and controlled via an actuator at the proximal end of guide catheter 220. During delivery of guide catheter 220, expandable member 222 reside within guide catheter 220. Guide catheter 220 may then be withdrawn to deploy expandable member 222 either within the PFO or within the left atrium to be drawn back into the PFO. In some embodiments, expandable member 222 has one or more pre-shaped or shapeable distal tips 223. Tips 223 may be used, for example, to help locate and cross the PFO. Tips 223 may also be used to contact a left atrial surface of the septum primum or other PFO tissue, so that when the expandable member 222 is pulled proximally tips 223 help bring the PFO tissues together and/or anchor apparatus 200. In some embodiments, one or more expandable members 222 may include or be coupled with one or more energy transmission members. For example, expandable member 222 may include one or more radiofrequency transmission members for monopolar or bipolar RF transmission. A fish mouth expandable member 222, for example, may include a bipolar RF transmission member on each prong of the fish mouth. In some embodiments, energy transmission members may be included in or coupled with both expandable member 222 and tissue apposition member 212. In any such embodiments, some portions of the energy transmission member(s) may be insulated, to prevent unwanted energy transmission to tissues. For example, in some embodiments a distal tip extending to contact a left atrial surface of PFO tissues may be insulated to prevent energy transmission from the tip. Referring now to Apparatus 300 of Referring now to In use, catheter device 410 is typically advanced over guidewire 420 to a treatment location. Split portion 422 and optionally distal tip 423 are then used to help appose the tissues adjacent the PFO. Before, during or after retraction of guidewire 420, energy transmission portion 432 is retracted into tissue apposition member 412. PFO tissue is then brought together using tissue apposition member 412, and energy is transmitted to the tissues using energy transmission portion 432. In some embodiments, tissue apposition member 412 provides for application of vacuum energy to the tissues to suction the tissues at least partially into tissue apposition member 412, thus enhancing contact of the tissues with energy transmission portion 432. Energy transmission portion 432 may comprise, for example an electrode mesh material, while tissue apposition member 412 may comprise an elastic coated mesh or other material. Again, any features described above in reference to other embodiments may be applied to the embodiment shown in With reference now to Referring now to That being said, in one embodiment, a PFO treatment method includes advancing a guide catheter 720 through the PFO, between tissues T adjacent the PFO, the guide catheter 720 containing an expandable member ( Once guide catheter 720 is in place and expandable member 722 is deployed, catheter device 710 may be advanced over guide catheter 720 to a position for treatment of the PFO ( As mentioned above, the foregoing method may be altered in any number of ways without departing from the scope of the invention. In some embodiments, for example, tissues adjacent the PFO are brought at least partially together and energy is applied to the tissues to acutely close the PFO with fewer steps and/or fewer device components than just described. For example, application of suction to appose tissues is not required in all embodiments. Furthermore, a variety of different types of energy may be applied to the tissues from a variety of differently configured energy transmission devices. In some embodiments, one or more of the steps described above may be repeated one or more times, such as by repeating a tissue welding step. The above description, therefore, is provided for exemplary purposes only. Although the foregoing description is complete and accurate, it has described only exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes, additions, deletions and the like may be made to one or more embodiments of the invention without departing from the scope of the invention. Additionally, different elements of the invention could be combined to achieve any of the effects described above. Thus, the description above is provided for exemplary purposes only and should not be interpreted to limit the scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims. Referenced by

Whats the point??!!
Whats the point??!!
I prefer to see this fight rather than watching him fighting Tony Giles. At least it's MMA.
To be fair I know Sam has a 5-7 Record according to Sherdog (some could be missing you never know) but on paper Reid is 9-9, it's not the worst matched fight we could have seen him in. Of course Reidy has to win. I can see BAMMA turning him into a Middleweight Champion *coughs*
EDIT - How come Reid has 3 'Professional' Kickboxing fights listed on Wikipedia, which Thai org sanctioned those bouts does anyone know?

I can understand how you'd think I was being literal upon reading that back myself, however that comment was never a serious question, therefore I am sorry that rhetorical question did not appear rhetorical enough.
Another case would be the Michael Page being listed as 4-0 however one fight was a 'UK1' fight.
Its a wank fight and I can not understand the reasoning other than trying to attract the generic "Cage Fighting" fan with Alex Reids name.
Bull shit fight imo and its letting down an other wise good card at Bamma 11!!
Alex been sparring hard. bet Sam is training hard too, massive opportunity!
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Massive opportunity for what? Hasnt won a fight since 2005 (dont count a fixed fight against barrett as a win) so what is a win at Bamma going to do for him?
Alex is the biggest name in uk mma - the man who normalised 'cage-fighting' in the mainstream press. if Sam beats him, it will raise his profile a great deal and come fight night, at the very least, someone will pay him a fair few quid to get their company's name written on his shorts. I'm sure loads of fighters want the exposure of fighting Alex, Sam is getting all that. he must be chuffed, even if purists aren't chuffed for him.
Alex Reid is the biggest name in mainstream ukmma.
Bamma have only done this fight to build the event but highly doubt they will sell many extra tickets through it.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 4
Rated 4 out of 5 by denim23 Beautiful shoe appropriate for work.
I purchased this shoe as an option for wearing heels during clinical rounds, since I was looking for a pair of heels with a smaller height. The shoes look great and well-made, and I was very excited about wearing them. Unfortunately, the shoes ran too large for me. I normally wear a size 5.5, and since 5 was not available (based on previous reviews, I considered ordering down), I took a chance with the shoes. Unfortunately, the shoes were way too large, and since I can fit in a finger or more between the back of my foot and the heel, I will be returning them. Love the mid-heel height, the quality of the leather, and the pointed chic toe.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mary123 Looks great but noisy
For a low heeled shoe, they look great with both pants and dresses- and they're easy to wear.
The downside is that the leather squeaks when I walk! I'm hoping the squeaking goes away as they are a great looking shoe, but until then I won't wear them out of the house.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cis2 Nice surprise
The Ivy Pump is exactly what I was looking for for everyday business wear...And, what a nice surprise- they are comfortable too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by nobelle RUN 1/2 SIZE TOO LONG
I just got the shoes and they are just what I expected, nice neutral color, soft leather (not patent), comfortable foot bed, comfortable heel height. The only negative is that it runs definitely 1/2 size too big. I am a regular size 6 in Tory Burch flats but this heels in 6 look not only slip off my feet but look like if I were wearing someone else's shoes.

Flow in a Bubble Column Reactor
Application ID: 2160
This example illustrates multiphase flow modeling in a bubble column reactor. The reactor is filled with water and gas bubbles are injected from the bottom. Due to buoyancy, the bubbles rise, inducing a circulating motion of the liquid. Furthermore, as the bubbles rise through the water, gas dissolves from the bubbles into the liquid.
The example uses the macroscopic, two-phase flow model provided in the Bubbly Flow application mode, which tracks the averaged phase concentration rather than each bubble in detail.
The model accounts for dissolution of the gas into the liquid and, thus, also solves for the concentration gas dissolved in liquid.

(part 1) Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer's basic set. Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible. Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early '50s and '60s]. Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design. Recent issues may also be individually and serially-numbered. |
HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike. Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

1961 Topps Baseball Cards AUTOGRAPHED Set info/informationBy now you all heard of the rash of counterfeit autographs on the market.The following autographs all come with auction house LOA's (Letters of Authenticity) from the top authenticators in the hobby - PSA/DNA or James Spence !!! The 1961 Topps baseball card set included 587 standard size 2˝" x 3˝" cards (#1-#598 with several skipped numbers). 2 cards were accidently numbered #463, one of them (the Braves Team card was supposed to be card #426). The 1961 Topps set included the following special "subsets": * League Leaders (10 cards) * World Series highlights (10 cards) * Highlights (11 cards) * MVP's (16 cards) * Checklists (7 cards plus several variations) * Team cards (xx cards) * Special Multi-Player cards (xx cards) * Managers (xx cards) * Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies (xx cards) * Sporting News All-Stars (#566-#589) 1961 Topps was the first of the very popular and continuing Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies subsets. Cards from the last series (#523-#589) are scarce "High Numbers" making the set fairly expensive to complete. MLB Baseball expansion led to one of the least attractive aspects of the 1961 Topps baseball card set. The American League made several changes. The Los Angeles Angels were added, the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins and a new franchise was granted to the Washington Senators who also debuted in 1961. Possibly because of these team changes, many players had their portrait photos taken without their baseball caps. Not only did most of the players look awful without their caps, they looked more like your old, not so handsome uncle then athletes! Card backs were black print on an army green background on a dark card stock making them somewhat difficult to read. TOP ROOKIES: #35 Ron Santo, #141 Billy Williams, #417 Juan Marichal, Willie Davis, Zoilo Versalles & Jim Maloney; are popular players but still reasonably priced. More interesting tid-bits from the 1961 Topps set:
Card #1 features All-American basketball player Dick Groat Collectors of 1961 Topps cards may also want to take a look at 3 other baseball issues Topps released that year: a Topps Dice Game, Topps Magic Rub-Offs and a series of Topps Stamps.
Although some dealers and collectors consider this set boring, with it's clean design, many special subsets
and multiple cards of some of the games top stars including 6 Mantle's I rate it much higher.

The page tricks you into liking the page then subscribes you to it, SCAM!!
Their really fun to ride in slush and it's an all purpose board. It actually not a scam because actually won the odysea log board that I posted on here before.ill post pictures on here when the board comes in to show everyone it's not a scam.
It's a scam in the sense that you are basically asking people to sign up for spam. That's not nice. One very effective way to get what you want out of this life is to work hard for it. Hit the pavement and find a part time job. 8$ an hour at 20 hours a week is a 160$ before taxes. Call summer vacation 10 weeks, that's 1600$. You don't pay rent, you eat for free and you get rides from your 'rents; that's all money in your pocket dude. You could buy a sweet ride and still have 500$ in the bank at the end of the summer and still have time to surf everyday. I started mowing yards at 20$ a pop back in the early 90's when I was 12, I'd usually do about 5 or 6 a week. Had a regular client base 'cause I did a good job. Old people love kids who "show initiative and work hard." Best thing about it was, when I turned 16 I paid 3600$ cash for a sunrise red, gen I Rx-7. A car in HS is not a bad thing to have, trust me on this. I've paid neigbor kids to rake leaves or mow my lawn even though I actually enjoy it, just because I think it shows they have character and they had the guts to ask if they could. C'mon man, get your hustle on. There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.

Yeah I get what your saying and I also tried to mow lawns, wash cars, and shovel snow, by putting flyers out and everything, but these days its hard because no one takes a 13 year old seriously and everyone around goes with the neighborhood lawn lawn and landscaping service for everything, but thanks for the advice.

Lake Almanor rallies to win fireworks grant
Liberty Mutual announced today that Chester has won $10,000 for the town's Fourth of July festivities in the company's Bring Back the Fourth contest. In May, Liberty Mutual Insurance launched the second year of Bring Back the 4th, an online contest encouraging people across America to rally together and earn $10,000 grants to support their city's or town's official Fourth of July celebrations.
People earned credits for their local traditions by taking the "Responsible Moments in U.S. History" quiz at BringBackThe4th.com, and encouraging friends, family and neighbors to do the same.
"We would like to thank everyone who took the time to participate, in an inspiring display of community teamwork and patriotism," the company said in a press release.
The Lake Almanor community did indeed rally together and won one of the four awards in the small city/town category. Other winners in the category were Brockport Village, N.Y; Dahlonega, Ga.; and Springfield, Ga.

Donovan Mcnabb, Eli Manning, or Tony Romo.
All 3 are pro bowl quality players, but how would you rank em 1 to 3?

Here we come
Romo, McNabb, Manning.
3. Kolb
4. Vick
5. Campbell
6.Patrick Crayton (he used to be a QB in college)
7. Steve (he is my neighbor. Doesnt play professionally, but he can throw a spiral.)
8. Mcnabb
9. Eli
Sponsored Links |
It kills me to say it but Tony Romo should obviously be considered a better quarterback than Donovan McNabb right now, just like how McNabb should have been considered better than Romo after last year. Any Eagles fan that takes Eli or McNabb over Romo is either a homer or ignorant.
Why shouldnt eli be over Romo? he has a ring and puts up similar stats....
Oh because Eli's amazing 17 point performance in a Superbowl two years ago should be really relevant to now right? Stop living in the past. Eli Manning had his best statistical year by far this year and didn't even come close to Romo's numbers. Tony Romo's been playing quarterback as great as anybody has in the NFL over the last several weeks, and it's gotten the Cowboys to the divisional round. Eli Manning fell apart when it mattered and it's a solid reason the Giants are sitting out right now. Blame as much of the disappointment season as you want on the defense, but in the end it was Eli Manning who had those pathetic games in key losses to the Saints, Cards, Eagles (first), Broncos, and the Panthers. It takes both offensive and defensive failures for a team to get ripped apart like the Giants did a few times this year.
If we're looking at this past year only it's probably:
1. Romo
2. Manning
3. McNabb
Total yards
Romo: 4483
Manning: 4021
McNabb: 3553*
*It should be noted that McNabb had 2 fewer games than Romo and Manning, so I will include total YPG next.
Romo: 280.2
McNabb: 253.8
Manning: 251.3
This averages out everyone's performance/game. When this is done (and we factor out the extra games that Romo and Manning had) Romo still comes out ~30 yards higher than both Manning and McNabb, and the other two are nearly identical, with the slight edge going to McNabb.
Romo: 26/9
Manning: 27/14
McNabb: 22/10
Romo is clearly the best of the three yet again. McNabb and Manning are again very close. Manning has 5 more TD's and 4 more INT's.
Completion %
Romo: 63.1
Manning: 62.3
McNabb: 60.3
By far the closest stat for these three. All very good, and coincidentally the same order that I would rank their performance this year.
Passer Rating
Romo: 97.6
Manning: 93.1
McNabb: 92.9
Again, same order I would place these three guys this year.
If we're looking at career stats, then it's:
1. Romo
2. McNabb
3. Manning
Although this is difficult to justify because of the disparity between the amount of time that these three guys have been in the league. Obviously a clear leader can only really be determined after their careers are over. As a snapshot of right now though, this is the right order when looking at their entire body of work to date.

Meh, I really hope we will be easily able to run Steam and the games on other distributions as well.
Phoronix: Canonical Recently Visited Valve To Talk About Ubuntu
Canonical and Valve are warming up to each other after a recent visit to the Valve headquarters in Bellevue...
Meh, I really hope we will be easily able to run Steam and the games on other distributions as well.
If they tie Steam into the package manager so that updates to Steam games show up in the system updater then that would make me very happy
Surely this has been going on for longer than just recently, right?
Ubuntu is full retards. I hope steam will run on my god blessed Gentoo distribution.
Because Windows doesn't provide a service for updating 3rd party software. This feature would provide a level of convenience for Linux users that would make Steam far superior under Linux when compared to other platforms. They wouldn't even need to build "real" packages to provide this benefit, just generic "launch steam and update" packages (with appropriate version information). At that level that's something that is easy to run through alien and provide repositories for the vast majority of popular distros. If you don't run a supported distro then that's fine, but if you do then you get a nice little update reminder when Steam needs to update your games.
I don't want Ubuntu coders there that's for sure. Linux FWA(Fhack Windows & Apple)!
If there isn't and package manager tie-ins. Your God blessed Gentoo(A very fast penguin indeed) box will run it with some effort.
If Ubuntu does get package manager dependencies Valve would be as good as dead to Linux.
It is indeed an exiting time and a big opportunity for Ubuntu and Linux. However, the performance regressions in 11.10 -> 12.04 -> 12.10 are disastrous as described in this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...iz/+bug/964788. There are many similar bugs affecting users mostly with nVidia hardware (https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1042167, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ty/+bug/988079, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...y/+bug/1005074, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ty/+bug/987304, ..) which is ironical since gaming is the main reason to choose nVidia. I imagine most people will just try one of the new, more demanding games and experiencing bad performance will be thinking it's the game's fault or linux's, while without compiz/unity everything would work just fine.
