Feb 26, 2015Late review, but I couldn't resist. This film was clearly a challenge, and not an easy one to depict.
But, it upped Slumdog Millionaire. Boyle's direction, Dodmantle's shots, Rahman and Dido, and, of course, James Franco. The film was a complete package, and it is one of the best films I have seen. A must watch. -

Dec 22, 2014127 Hours is brilliant on every level. It completely immerses the viewer more effectively than I've ever seen a movie do, and offers an uplifting story that's disturbing in the best way.
Mar 5, 2014This movie shows us how far a person would go to keep alive (it's a story of hope) and the cinematography fits to the situation. 127 Hours is a bit long for the story, but the the rest is phenomenal.
Mar 1, 2013One of my favorite movies of all time, amazing and thrilling adventure of life and death, with friendship and possibilities, this is the story of a brave man in attempt to discover the world of mysteries.
Feb 13, 2013A special movie! Magnificent making of and really touching movie. Aaron survived in this dramatic situation with his dreams memories and imagination. I think that James Franco deserved here an oscar because he suited completely in this role.
Nov 28, 2012An almost faultlessly directed, wonderfully well-acted inspirational drama, featuring a lovely soundtrack.
Nov 20, 2012One of the best films I have ever seen. If you didnt like it its because you didnt get it, and because you are completely retarded. Knowing the premise of the film gives you absolutely no idea as to what this film is actually about.
May 8, 2012127 hours
It starts out energetic. The pulsating music, the whispering lyrics, all high energy getting you ready for what turns out to be a rather quiet movie. The character of Aron Ralston, played with such intensity from the always enjoyable James Franco, is running around gathering equipment. His phone rings and he doesnâ -

Mar 24, 2012I am not affraid to say 127 hours is better than Slumdog Millionaie. This film by Danny Boyle is a masterful slice of 4 star cinema. James Franco is remarkable and without the usual cliches of survival movies. the movie's ending is emotional with its moral of to never give up and to think about the ones you love most.
Mar 23, 2012This is a deeply moving film. It is one of those films that can change your life when you watch it, and that my friends, it what makes a movie truely great.
Mar 17, 2012
Feb 5, 2012Combining Danny Boyle's inspired directing with a stand-out performance from James Franco, "127 Hours" is a harrowing, heartfelt but uplifting experience.
Nov 15, 2011A memorable movie that might leave a cringing mark on your soul. A survival movie at its best based on a true story and what makes it even better is the authenticity of the movie.
Oct 17, 2011127 Hours is one of the best drama film I've seen in years! I really can't say much probably because there's so much to tell but I will say that you may want to prepare yourself into a very graphical scene during the film.
Sep 26, 2011With bizarre cinematography and a talk show like environment, what Danny Boyle announces to the audience in "127 Hours" is not James Franco as the winner (Still, he was cool). He presents to us that, between all those blood, sweat, and urine spilled, its the perseverance of man that claims victory.
Sep 20, 2011This is a fantastic movie of survival and how far humans will go to survive. I was impressed with Danny Boyle's direction and James Franco's heroic performance.
Sep 5, 2011
Aug 27, 2011
Aug 26, 2011Only a filmmaker as frenetic and joyous as Danny Boyle could have created a film so lively on a stale narrative, and a film as disgusting as it is powerfully life-affirming.
Aug 26, 2011Danny Boyleâ
Aug 13, 2011Never before has a movie made me so emotional. You feel as if you're with Aaron Ralston the whole time, feeling his pain and everything he is going through. I swear I cried a river.
Jun 11, 2011Visually engaging, emotionally gripping, strangely aesthetically pleasing and has a bizarre feel-good factor towards the end. Danny Boyle has shown that he is still a master at his craft and James Franco has cemented himself as a credible actor and star.
May 31, 2011Fantastic film! Amazing story! Franco gives the best performance of his career to date! Boyle is a masterful director and knows how to make a film resonate with his audience. Indeed, this is a tough film to watch, but an incredibly uplifting one as well.
May 6, 2011When Danny Boyle said that this movie was uplifting, I could not predict how right he was. The music adds so many feelings (mainly happiness) and the fantastic performance by Franco who I don't normally like but could watch over and over in this movie. To sum it up you leave the cinema with a smile that means you di not waste your money and that you just saw a great film.

Feb 16, 2011Ah, 90 minutes of pure enjoyment. acting, directing, whole package. creepy movie with soul, thats all that is needed to say. must see, 10 points without hesitation, thats what movies are all about.
Feb 8, 2011This is probably the best movie I have seen this year. It is absolutely amazing!!! It is a masterpiece. Once the movie starts you don't want it to ever end. Danny Boyle really did a amazing job on this one. And actor James Franco did a outstanding job. Overall I can't find really any flaws. Great movie!!! Go see it.
Feb 2, 2011The film is so deliciously entertaining and so real that your eyes never wonder off the screen, you experiancing aarons pain and what he learns about his life, from academy award winner Danny boyle, a director who tries to make his movies so endearing and watchable-and succseeds admirably.
Jan 30, 2011
Jan 28, 2011Unbelievable. I'm absolutely speechless. The viewer is witness to Aron's disintegration over time perfectly. Conceptually, this movie had the makings of a boring story. It was anything but. I was riveted each minute.
Jan 26, 2011
Jan 17, 2011masterpiece!!!! incredible acting and directing... when the boulder first landed on his arm I thought "what now... we still have an hour left". Very creative, th only thing is that it should have gotten a wider release.

Dec 30, 2010
Dec 26, 2010Franco is revelatory in what might be the year's finest performance. Boyle's style is very clearly infused into all aspects of the film, but ultimately its story is what makes it truly worthwhile.
Dec 12, 2010Althought this film mainly sustains itself by the editor's work, James Franco delivers the performance of a lifetime. Finally Boyle's versatility has paid off.

Dec 5, 2010Surreal movie with a nearly flawless performance by Franco. The magic of the book was captured in gripping detail. Inspiring and beautiful to watch. Really no negative criticisms. Simply divine.
Dec 4, 2010Excellent story. Beautifully shot. Great acting by James Franco. Uplifting theme. Very, very intense. The guy the seat next to me passed out from the intensity. Not for the squeamish.

Nov 27, 2010
Nov 27, 2010Visually compelling with a stunning acting performance by Franco. He plays an average American, a outdoor jock, self absorbed, funny, foolish, smart, passionate, young, and yes heroic. it is a raw story but done glossy, moving, dramatic, and tastefully gory. A risky gut wrenching scene that well scare away the faint of heart, pity though., Finally, one powerfully emotional ending that soared.
Nov 20, 2010Incredible story. Incredible performance. Franco is automatically an Oscar contender, if not winner, with this one. A testimony to the human spirit and will to survive. Glad we saw it at the theater.
Nov 19, 2010
Nov 18, 2010
Nov 15, 2010What an inspirational story. I had high hopes for this movie, and it delivered. Anyone not seeing this film because of the "money shot" needs to see it. Yes, it happens and is necessary, but it doesn't dominate the film. It truly puts your trivial daily problems in perspective. Franco is outstanding, and Danny Boyle delivers yet again.
Nov 6, 2010RyanGee and many reviewers have pinpointed the reason this film will be so successful and a contender for the Oscars. Add equal parts of Danny Boyle's energetic concept, cinematography, editing and Rahman's music, stir and splash in a hefty portion of James Franco's incredible acting chops. I consider this to be part of the upper tier of 2010's top 10.
A surprisingly fun, effervescent against-the-odds drama that offers an upbeat moral without the usual punishing survival-story clichés. Not for the faint-hearted, mind.
It's gory and gut-wrenching but strangely life-affirming.
127 Hours -- just like "Slumdog Millionaire" -- is a masterful slice of four-star cinema, featuring an irresistible performance by James Franco, breathtaking cinematography, and the kind of deep, searching soul that is absent from so much of what comes out of Hollywood.

5 New Posters For 'Maleficent' – Starring Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley….
Disney Pictures have set loose this new collection of character posters for 'Maleficent,' the live action re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. Lead by Angelina Jolie as Disney's notorious evil queen, 'Maleficent' co-stars Elle Fanning as Aurora, and Sharlto Copley as Stefan, the half-human, half-fairy bastard son of the human king. In the film, Miranda Richardson plays Queen Ulla, a fairy queen who is Maleficent's aunt – and dislikes her niece. Kenneth Cranham plays the human king who plots to conquer the fairy kingdom. Sam Riley takes the role of Diaval, a raven who changes into human form and is Maleficent's right hand. Juno Temple, Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville play the three pixie fairies in the tale.
Set for release on May 30th, the film explores the origins of the evil fairy Maleficent and what led her to curse Princess Aurora in Disney's animated classic 'Sleeping Beauty.' Academy Award-winning production designer Robert Stromberg (Avatar, Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Oz The Great and Powerful) directs from a script by Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Alice in Wonderland).
From Disney comes Maleficent—the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

Yes..... I remember+5At a rather young age I was given vinyl LPs, and these strange things called 8-track tapes, and an 8-track tape player (I had a phonograph). Many of the 8-tracks needed repaired, so I learned how to take them apart, how to splice tape, ultimately how to repair an 8-track.
One of the 8-track tapes I was given that worked was.......
a compilation of some of the best songs The Beach Boys has released. And ever since then The Beach Boys, and Jan and Dean, have been required summer music.
Years later of course, I ended up purchasing (on CD) a lot, if not all, of that music that was given to me as a young child. With the The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and the Rolling Stones it became my mission to collect all of their music (albums and singles) so I could finally understand the released dates, and progression of all the music I knew by them as one big body of work (a glob). It has been a most interesting thing to do, and has left me with a true appreciation for the artistic genius of some of these musicians, especially Brian Wilson.
The Beach Boys (and Motown, and CCR) are clearly American music, that could not have happened elsewhere, and we are blessed to have all of those great recordings. - littlebuffalo55TBA 2012/05/07 07:21:32

US 7927302 B2 Abstract A high flow rate infusion unit includes a heating unit with opposing, electrically-operated heating plates that contact a heat exchanger to heat infusate flowing therethrough. Pressure infusers on the infusion unit are operable to provide infusate at a high flow rate. A flat, elongate heat exchanger has a laminar fluid flow path receivable between the heating plates to which heat is conducted by contact with the heating plates. A bubble trap and a valve are disposed within the heat exchanger. The bubble trap collects bubbles and vents air from infusate exiting the fluid flow path, and the valve shuts off the flow of infusate if the volume of air in the bubble trap exceeds a predefined limit.
Claims(11) 1. A method for operating an infusion unit with heating plates in combination with a fluid container having a laminar flow path and a housing attached to the fluid container, the housing containing a bubble trap and a valve, the bubble trap in fluid communication with the laminar flow path and the valve in fluid communication with the bubble trap to provide warmed infusate at a high flow rate, comprising:
providing a signal indicating that the fluid container is seated in the infusion unit;
providing a flow of pressurized infusate to the laminar flow path from a source of infusate in response to the signal indicating that the fluid container is seated in the infusion unit;
fanning the flow of infusate into a laminar sheet of infusate in the laminar flow path;
heating infusate in the laminar flow path by conduction from the heating plates;
conducting warmed pressurized infusate from the laminar flow path to the bubble trap and through the valve;
sensing fluid in the bubble trap with a sensor positioned at a first location adjacent the housing; and
an actuator closing the valve if the sensor senses air in the bubble trap; otherwise,

Nos. 5,807,332; 6,464,666; 6,535,689; 6,775,473; and 7,010,221. The assignee of this application now owns European Patent 1 159 019, granted Nov. 6, 2002 for �IV Fluid Warming System with Detection of Presence and Alignment of Cassette�, which has been validated in Germany, France, Great Britain, Ireland, and Monaco. See PCT application PCT/US20000/02630, filed Feb. 2, 2000 for �Pressure Tolerant Parenteral Fluid and Blood Container for a Warming Cassette�, publication WO 01/26719, Apr. 19, 2001, filed by the assignee of this application. The subject matter relates to a high flow rate infusion unit that pressurizes and warm fluids for infusion into a body at pressures equal to or exceeding gravity. The subject matter also relates to a heat exchanger for a high flow rate infusion unit in which fluids are warmed by the infusion unit. Infusion relates to the introduction of a fluid into a body, usually, although not necessarily, into vasculature. A fluid that is infused into a body may be termed an �infusate�. Such fluids may include, for example, blood, blood products, and solutions such as saline, antibiotics, and medications. The combination of low operating room temperatures and the administration of anesthetics which inhibit a patient's thermoregulatory function leads to hypothermia during surgery. As is known, perioperative hypothermia can produce adverse outcomes such as surgical wound infection, extended hospitalization, and blood loss. See Sessler D I: Complications and Treatment of Mild Hypothermia. ANESTHESEOLOGY 2001; 95:531-543. Prevention or mitigation of hypothermia, particularly perioperative hypothermia, is thus a key clinical factor for successful treatment outcomes. Hypothermia may be accelerated by infusion of fluid, especially if the fluid is refrigerated. For example, Sessler indicates that a unit of refrigerated blood or a liter of crystalloid solution at room temperature decreases the mean body temperature of adults by approximately 0.25� C. But patients suffering from serious trauma may require rapid infusion of large amounts of fluid, which can cause a sharp and sudden loss of heat in the body core, leading to a drop in mean core body temperature. In order to prevent or mitigate infusion-caused heat loss in a trauma patient, the infusate is often heated as it is administered. Warming fluid prior to infusion into a human or animal body is known. See, for example the intravenous fluid warming systems and appliances described in the cross-referenced patent documents. See also the Ranger� blood/fluid warming system and products described at www.arizant.com, the web site of Arizant Healthcare Inc. The Ranger� blood/fluid warming system includes a heating appliance and a heat exchanger capable of being inserted into the heating appliance. Fluid flowing though the heat exchanger is warmed by contact between the heating appliance and heat exchanger, and then delivered intravenously to a patient. However, the disclosed systems cannot meet all rates of infusate delivery needed for treatment of trauma patients. The technical challenges in heating a high volume of infusate delivered at a relatively high rate, for example, at 30 liters per hour (30 L/hr), or higher, include uniform transfer of heat to the fast-flowing fluid, elimination of air from the fluid, and an infusion system construction that supports convenience and speed of operation. Solutions to these challenges in the prior state of the art include a known high speed infusion system that warms infusate by immersion of a heat exchanger in a warm water bath. A column of infusate flows through the heat exchanger, and the warm water bath heats the infusate as it passes through the heat exchanger. The heat, the flow pattern and high flow rate of the infusate create bubbles in the infusate, which must be removed before intravenous delivery in order to avoid formation of an air embolism in the patient being infused. This high speed infusion system includes a gas elimination device to collect bubbles from the infusate, and a clamp to halt the flow of infusate if air is detected in the infusate. The known high speed infusion system is constituted of an appliance with a water heating and circulation system. The heat exchanger consists of a pair of coaxial tubes, a smaller one disposed inside a larger one. The infusate flows through the annulus between the larger and smaller tube, and the heated water is circulated from the heater, through the inner tube, and back to the heater. The heat exchanger is installed in the appliance where it must be reliably coupled to an infusate flow path and to a separate hot water flow path. The gas elimination device is separate from the heat exchanger; and it is installed separately and downstream from the heat exchanger. Infusate passes through the gas elimination device into a patient line for intravenous delivery to a patient. When a predetermined amount of air is detected in the gas elimination device, a downstream clamp is activated to pinch off the patient line, thereby stopping the flow of infusate to the patient. The heat exchanger and gas elimination device are discarded after each use, and new ones must be installed each time a patient is treated. In this known high speed infusion system, the heat transfer mechanism poses a risk of an exchange of contaminants between the infusate and the water used to deliver heat. This may occur when the barrier between the water and the infusate is breached for some reason. The use of a warm water bath as the heat transfer mechanism requires continuous maintenance to keep the water clean and the pumping system operating with sufficient capacity. Air transported from infusate bags and bubbles generated from the infusate are collected and separated by the gas elimination device, and air is eliminated through a port in the device. At times, a large mass of collected bubbles can block the port, thereby preventing air from being vented. Then, the collected bubbles will cause detection of air that is not quickly vented, and the clamp will be activated. In such a case, the system can be restarted only after clearing or replacing the gas elimination device. In this known system, set up preceding each use requires separate handling and installation of the heat exchanger, the gas elimination device, and the length of patient line that is led through the clamp. There is a need for a high flow rate infusion system that effectively transfers heat to a rapidly-flowing infusate without risk of contaminant exchange between the infusate and a heat transfer fluid. Another desirable advance would reliably eliminate air from the infusate without blocking an air vent. System set up would be improved by reduction of the number of devices required to be installed each time the system is used. A high flow rate infusion unit includes a resistive heating unit with opposing heating plates that contact a heat exchanger to conductively heat infusate flowing therethrough. Pressure infusers on the infusion unit provide infusate at a high flow rate. A heat exchanger has a laminar fluid flow path receivable between the heating plates to which heat is conducted by contact with the heating plates. A bubble trap and a valve are integrated with the heat exchanger. The bubble trap collects air from the infusate exiting the laminar flow path, and includes an air vent in contact with the infusate that vents the air from the bubble trap. The valve shuts off the flow of infusate if air is detected in the bubble trap. A heat exchanger embodiment constituted of a flat, elongate warming cassette with a fluid container defining a laminar fluid flow path is slidable in a heating unit between a seated position where the fluid container is in heat-transferring contact with heating plates and an extracted position outside of the electrical heating unit. The warming cassette includes a housing attached to the fluid container. The housing contains a bubble trap and a valve. The bubble trap is disposed in fluid communication with the laminar flow path to collect air from infusate flowing out of the fluid path. The bubble trap includes an air vent in contact with the infusate that vents air from the bubble trap. The valve, disposed in fluid communication with the bubble trap, has an open state permitting infusate to flow out of the warming cassette and a closed state blocking infusate from flowing out of the warming cassette. A bubble trap for collecting air from an infusate includes a flow expansion chamber to collect large bubbles, a recirculation chamber to collect large to medium bubbles, a laminar flow chamber where air is released and detected, and an outlet chamber where the infusate exits the heat exchanger. The infusion unit detects the presence and level of air in infusate flowing through the bubble trap and controls the flow of infusate out of the bubble trap in response to detected levels of air. Preferably, the infusion unit controls the state of the valve in response to detected levels of air in order to permit or prevent infusate to flow. The unification of a laminar flow path, bubble trap, and shut off valve in an integrated heat exchanger construction yields a single, easily handled appliance that simplifies setup and operation of infusate warming, bubble management, air elimination, and safety shut off for a high flow rate infusion unit. In this detailed description, a high flow rate infusion unit and a heat exchanger including a laminar flow path are described. A high flow rate is a flow of infusate through a patient line at a rate that is sufficient to administer a large amount of infusate quickly to a person. For example, a high flow rate system may administer blood to a trauma patient at a rate of 30 liters per hour (30 L/hr), or higher, measured through a line connected intravenously to the patient (a �patient line�). A �laminar flow path� is a thin, relatively flat, non-sinuous space through which a sheet of infusate can flow from an inlet port to an outlet port. The novel designs and embodiments to be described provide a number of benefits with respect to previously known high flow rate infusion systems. Infusate is heated by direct contact between the heat generating mechanism and a heat exchanger, thereby eliminating an intermediary medium (such as water) to transport heat from a heater to the heat exchanger. This mode of heat transfer may be referred to as �dry heat� because it does not use water, or another fluid. An exemplary heat exchanger construction unifies a unidirectional, laminar flow path where infusate is heated, a bubble trap that continually vents air from the infusate, and a valve to regulate infusate flow. Bubbles are separated and collected from infusate and air is eliminated through a vent in contact with the infusate, which reduces shut downs caused by build up of bubbles, thereby ensuring uninterrupted infusate flow for longer periods of time than the previously known high flow rate infusion systems. The unified construction of the heat exchanger yields a single, easily handled appliance that simplifies setup and operation of heat exchange, air elimination, bubble entrapment, and safety shut off for a high flow rate infusion unit. High Flow Rate Infusion System Refer now to The construction of the heat exchanger 12 includes a laminar flow path through which a broad sheet of infusate flows. In use, when the heat exchanger 12 is installed in the infusion unit 10, the laminar flow path of the heat exchanger is sandwiched between a pair of electrically-operated heating plates, such that each side of the laminar flow path is in close heat-conducting contact with a respective one of the pair of heating plates. When the heating plates are operated, heat exchanged between the plates and the laminar flow path warms the infusate as it moves through the laminar flow path. With reference to In With further reference to With further reference to With reference to With further reference to The flow rate of the infusion system just described is established by, among other parameters, the viscosity of the infusate, the pressure capacity of the pressure infusers 18, and the resistance to fluid flow. Infusate viscosity varies according to the nature of the fluid being infused. The rate of inflation of the bladders 103 and the relative sizes of the bladders 103 and infusate bags are the principal determinants of pressure capacity. The broad laminar flow path in the fluid container 62 reduces flow resistance, compared to previous heat exchanger designs based on a flat cassette, by elimination of curves, bends, and abrupt changes in flow direction. Tubing can be selected to provide a range of flow resistance appropriate to the other factors and the desired flow rate. Preferably, the high flow rate infusion system of Heat Exchanger Infusate expelled from a pressure-activated infusate bag travels at a high flow rate through tubing connecting the bag to the heat exchanger in which it is warmed for administration to a patient. The heat exchanger is exemplified by a warming cassette construction adapted for use in the infusion unit 10 of Many materials and processes may be used to construct the warming cassette 60. For example, with reference to Infusate flow through the warming cassette 60 is shown in Heating Unit With reference now to In With reference to Bubble Trap and Shut Off Valve For the purposes of the following explanation, the housing 64 has a front face, seen in The bubble trap 80 includes a trap flow path designed for high flow rates, that is, flow rates of 30 L/hr, and higher. Preferably, the bubble trap operates with fluid flow rates in the range from 0 to 70 L/hr, or higher, through the trap flow path. The trap flow path is constructed to separate bubbles from the infusate in a succession of stages. The stages include, in sequence, a flow velocity reduction chamber (�reduction chamber�), a separation chamber, a laminar flow chamber, and an outlet chamber. With reference to In some instances, the housing 64 may be transparent in order to enable an operator to see and judge bubble trap operation through the separation chamber 205; in these instances, as best seen in With reference to In The hydrophobic membrane 209 provides preferential flow of gases over liquids and therefore draws air from the bubble trap 80 and releases it to the ambient atmosphere. Thus, the hydrophobic membrane 209 serves as a vent through which air is eliminated from the bubble trap 80. A representative construction of the hydrophobic membrane is shown in With reference to A representative construction of the hydrophilic screen 217 that filters small bubbles from the infusate path in the outlet chamber 215 of the bubble trap 80 is shown in With reference to Heat Exchanger Installation and Retention Use and operation of the high flow rate infusion unit are simplified by an interlocking mechanical interface between the infusion unit and heat exchanger that enables an operator to quickly and easily install the heat exchanger, bubble trap, and shut off valve in a single act. By sliding the heat exchanger into position between the heating plates, the operator positions the laminar flow path for heat exchange, locates the bubble trap for monitoring by the sensors 37 and 38, and orients the shut off valve for operation. Considering the exemplary embodiment of the heat exchanger, when the warming cassette is installed in the high flow rate infusion unit, various elements of the warming cassette 60 and the infusion unit 10 cooperate to seat the warming cassette and to enable the infusion unit to control the flow of infusate. In this regard, with reference to With reference to As seen in A cutout 286 with an upper edge 288 in the rear face of the housing 64 is visible in With reference to Audible and tactile feedback indicating that the warming cassette is completely seated is provided to an operator by the latching action of the tab 292 and the stopping of the housing 64 by the ledge 273. As best seen in Infusion Unit Subsystems The high flow rate infusion unit includes an electronic control subsystem with input, logic, and output elements that receive command and sensor inputs, process the inputs to set or change the control configuration of the unit during operation, and produce outputs that implement the current control configuration. The electronic control subsystem is assembled from conventional electrical, electronic, and electro-mechanical components mounted conventionally by means of printed circuit boards and structural elements in the neck and pedestal of the infusion unit. The electronic control subsystem is illustrated in In With further reference to With further reference to With reference to In Logic block #4 of the controller 302 seen in Logic block #5 of the controller 302 seen in The high flow rate infusion unit includes a pneumatic subsystem with elements that receive signals from the electronic control subsystem 300 indicating the control configuration of the unit during operation, and respond to the inputs by setting or changing the operational pneumatic configuration. The pneumatic subsystem also includes sensors that provide signals to the electronic control subsystem 300. The pneumatic subsystem is assembled from conventional pneumatic components mounted conventionally by means of structural elements in the neck and pedestal of the infusion unit. With reference to With further reference to With reference to With reference to With reference to Method of Operation The high flow rate infusion unit 10 with the heat exchanger 12 illustrated in In this explanation, air management is based on a test for the presence of a fluid such as infusate or air in the bubble trap. In An important safety feature of the air control loop is realized in closing the valve 82 and stopping infusion when air is detected. If the valve 82 should leak under the pressure of the infusate when closed, air might pass with leaking infusate through the closed but leaking valve. Deflating the active bladder relieves the pressure on the closed valve, thereby reducing, if not eliminating the risk of air leaking through the closed valve. With reference to With reference to Air Sensing and Management Preferably, air is sensed in the bubble trap by one or more sensors mounted in the infusion unit 10; preferably, at least two such sensors are used in order to provide redundancy, operational hysteresis, and a rich logical control mechanism for air management. We have used ultrasonic sensors that operate like sonar devices by transmitting and receiving pulses of ultrasonic energy. In particular, each of the sensors 37 and 38 may comprise a ceramic pulse echo sensor embedded potted, or screw mounted in a respective hole through the mounting block 36. In operation, each sensor sends out an ultrasonic pulse through a medium, and detects an echo of the pulse reflected back to the sensor off of an impedance mismatch, such as occurs at a solid/air interface. One source of such sensors is the Zevex Applied Technology Division, Salt Lake City, Utah. As seen in Preferably, air management in the bubble trap is based upon venting air through a hydrophobic membrane in contact with infusate flowing through the bubble trap. In The preferred air management logic control mechanization for the sensors disposed with respect to the bubble trap as in When the valve 82 is closed in response to the test at 462, the bubble trap is again primed with infusate, which will rise in the bubble trap, first passing the lower sensor 38. In some aspects, the logic of Other air sensing and management configurations for the bubble trap 80 are possible. One such configuration, shown in Although a high flow rate infusion unit and a heat exchanger for a high flow rate infusion unit have been described with reference to a number of embodiments, it should be understood that various modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this specification, which are limited only by the following claims.

CIBJO announces creation of all-industry CSR Working Group to be headed by Matt Runci
CIBJO has concluded its 2012 congress in Porto today with an announcement that it will be establishing a CSR Working Group whose goal will be to formulate an encompassing Corporate Social Responsibility framework for the jewellery and gemstone sector.
The working will group will include both CIBJO and other members of the jewellery industry who are active in Corporate Social Responsibility. Dr. Matt Runci, chairman of the Responsible Jewellery Council, has accepted the CIBJO president's offer to serve as the working group's chairman.
"Our intention is to work toward a framework that will be appropriate for all members of industry, which also will recognised by the international community. This we hope to achieve this because of CIBJO's association with the United Nations," said CIBJO President Gaetano Cavalieri.
The initial project for the CSR Working Group will be to produce a definite guidebook for Corporate Social Responsibility in the gemstone and jewellery industry. It has been agreed that most appropriate format would be an in-depth publication, including both practical guidelines, as well as case studies and examples from out in the field. The proposed name is for the guideline is " CIBJO Principles of Corporate Responsibility in the international jewellery industry."
"The guidelines will have to serve all participants in the jewellery and gemstone industry and trade, enabling individuals, as well as larger and smaller companies to adopt verifiable CSR practices at the grassroots level," Dr. Cavalieri said.
Speaking in Porto, Eli Izhakoff, president of the World Diamond Council, commended the initiative and stressed the importance of having all the relevant organisations working toward the adoption of a comprehensive CSR policy. "It is in everybody's interest that our industry will stand at the forefront of ethical business practices. To achieve that, we have to work together to ensure that CSR compliance is within everyone's reach," he said.

Think unconventional. While my story is built on the traditional pillars of hard work, values, relationships, humor, and perseverance, if all you seek is the safety and comfort from the rhythmic gerbil wheel of routine, I am not your guy. I do not seek the white picket fence, the playful labrador, and dinner at six. I offer freedom from that -- I promise you will never be bored. It will be challenging, rewarding, memorable, spontaneous, and FUN. Although I haven't done much international travel, I've found the time in the last year for pleasure trips to San Francisco and Sonoma Valley, San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Boston, Montreal, the Maryland and Jersey shores, upstate Connecticut, Las Vegas, Montauk Long Island, Washington DC, Fort Lauderdale/Miami, Killington VT, and Aspen CO. This is the pace I keep. But there's only so much to be enjoyed by one's self. I seek a true partner. For me, it's all about sharing a dream...of a future...together. In the absence of that I grant there may be novelty (which I enjoy immensely), yet in its presence I firmly believe most anything is possible. Expect to be cuddled, not coddled. Expect humor and irreverence. Expect silence over small talk. Expect doing "the right thing" over expediency. Expect admiration, deep respect, and a helping hand, yet don't expect to be placed upon a pedestal that you, yourself, do not build. I believe every action we take with each other will either brings us closer together -- or drive us apart. Let's be conscious and considerate of how we treat each other...even on that first encounter. And let's be direct and honest if those feelings aren't there too we all deserve our best shot at this one ride.

With the market still flat-lined, the home construction industry is getting creative, offering price cuts and home trades.
Jason Semler stood in the garage of a house his company is building in Blaine. Builders face increasing pressure to keep costs down since there are so many existing homes already on the market.
The recent demise of Rottlund Homes, one of Minnesota's most venerable builders, is painful evidence of how the area's home construction industry is on the brink.
With sales at record lows, material costs on the rise and growing competition from foreclosures, builders are adapting in all sorts of new ways to avoid the same fate as Rottlund.
"Home building is pretty much dead in the water," said Wells Fargo & Co. economist Mark Vitner in a recent interview.
Price declines for new houses are now worse than those of existing homes, with the price per square foot for new houses at its lowest level in a decade. Over the past three years, the average sale price per square foot of new houses in the Twin Cities dropped 10 percent compared with an 8.9 percent decline for existing ones.
Such realities are forcing builders to get creative. Some are drastically cutting prices to compete with distressed sales and be more strategic about where they build homes. One local builder is offering a program that would trade an existing home for a new one.
"We're trying to be competitive with everything out there," said Jason Semler, the sales manager for Semler Homes.
Semler said his company is building homes for much less profit than it did five years ago because it is competing with slightly used houses that often sell for tens of thousands of dollars less and are similar in size and appearance. It's also not uncommon for these homes to be within the same development.
Semler, for example, is building in the Lakes of Blaine, a huge master-planned community that's been around long enough for there to be many resales.
He is trying to market a new 2,330-square-foot house in Blaine for $329,900. In the same area there's a similarly sized house built in 2003, but priced at $299,900 after selling for nearly $370,000 in 2004. In a nearby development there's a 2004 house with almost 2,800 square feet. It's a short sale and is about $135,000 less expensive.
Semler Homes is one of several builders working in Blaine, which leads the Twin Cities metro area in construction and is one of the most competitive suburbs for building.
Financing capital is key
Tom Budzynski of TJB Homes in Blaine said his sales are picking up, but that's in large part because he's developed a "guaranteed trade program" that allows buyers to essentially trade their existing home for a new one. It's a concept TJB is trying because many owners are unable to sell because they owe more on their homes than what they are worth.
The strategy helped him achieve record sales by selling eight houses since the middle of September. He expects sales to double next year.
"The market has changed and we have adapted," he said.
Jeff Schoenwetter is being much more careful about where he builds. The owner of JMS Custom Homes in Edina said he has created a niche for himself by buying existing homes one at a time in high-demand neighborhoods in Edina and the western suburbs and replacing them with upscale houses.
Experts say such strategies are prudent in this difficult economic environment. Builders who are most likely to survive are the ones with the financing to take advantage of cheap land prices and focus on areas where supplies are the tightest.
Schoenwetter is choosing to be more conservative and is not investing in land deals for major housing developments. But national builders like Pulte Homes, which have the capital to pursue bigger projects, have been acquiring land for future developments while prices remain low.
"Whoever has the capital to finance operations is who's going to survive in this environment," said Marv McDaris, Pulte's Minnesota division president.
In some cases, land is selling for half of what it sold for five years ago because many builders over-invested in land and had to give it back to the bank because they were unable to make the payments.
McDaris said he is focusing on undeveloped parcels that are large enough to essentially create his own market to avoid competing with existing homes. However, it may be several years before Pulte builds on the land because of slower sales.
In for a long wait
Until home demand picks up, home builders will try to hang on, but recent data suggest builders may be in for a long wait. The number of permits pulled for new homes in the 13-county metro area as of the end of October was 2,450, a far cry from October 2007 when 4,232 permits were pulled, according to the Builders Association of the Twin Cities.
And Rottlund, which will cease operations in December after 38 years in business, is only the latest casualty of the housing shakeout. Membership in the Builders Association has fallen almost half from its peak of 1,900 in 2006.
Wells Fargo's Vitner said he's not worried about the big national builders. Most of them have lined up financing at least until 2015 and will weather the storm. But the situation isn't as promising for many smaller, local companies.
Rich Riemersma, president of the Builders Association and co-owner of Shoreview-based Imperial Homes, said while he thinks the market has already hit bottom, he's not convinced that there won't be another Rottlund.
"It's going to be a slow crawl out," he said. "And if you're not positioned right, there will still be some that won't make it."

Toronto plastic bag ban: Other cities took more time before approving bans
The Retail Council of Canada won't file a lawsuit challenging Toronto's ban on plastic shopping bags.

One of the two industry groups that had been thought most likely to file a lawsuit challenging Toronto's ban on plastic shopping bags says it will not do so.
"We're operating under the assumption that the city would not have passed the (motion) without ensuring that they had the legal authority to implement the ban. So operating under that assumption, we are not planning to challenge it," David Wilkes, senior vice-president of the Retail Council of Canada, said Monday.
Mayor Rob Ford said on his Sunday radio show that he has been told a lawsuit is in the works. The prime candidate is the Canadian Plastics Industry Association, but the organization has not yet made a decision, executive Marion Axmith said Monday.
Ford blasted council again on Sunday for approving the ban without notice or consultation. While supporters of the ban said it was simply the right thing to do — and that Ford himself had forced the issue to the council floor — other cities that imposed bans did so after an extended public process.
Los Angeles approved a ban in May — eight years after the city created a task force to address the impact of plastic bags on waterways and four years after council set a formal goal of prohibiting them. The potential costs of a ban were studied by city officials, an environment committee considered it at length, the city developed a strategy to communicate with businesses, and dozens of residents and industry representatives got to plead their cases at a council meeting.
Alberta's Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, which includes Fort McMurray, voted for a ban in 2009, nearly two years after officials first raised the issue. Its public works department assessed the environmental and economic impact, and council held a prolonged scheduled debate.
Portland, Oregon passed its ban in July 2011. Its mayor had advocated the move for years, and its council announced a year prior that it would enact the measure in the future if a proposal for a statewide ban failed.
Many governments also gave retailers more time to prepare for a bag-free future than Toronto's did. The ban here comes into effect on Jan. 1, 2013, less than 7 months after the surprise vote. Los Angeles gave big stores 10 months' notice, small stores 16 months; businesses in Wood Buffalo had 18 months.
Immediately before Toronto council voted 24-20 to approve right-leaning Councillor David Shiner's proposal for a 2013 ban, left-leaning Councillor Anthony Perruzza's proposal for a 2014 ban failed on a 22-22 tie.
Ford could have staved off the loss, and given city officials and businesses time to study the proposal, had he known he was about to lose. During the debate — which was originally about Ford's proposal to eliminate the mandatory 5-cent bag fee — Councillor Shelley Carroll put forth a motion to put off any decisions until the waste department considered the issues.
Intent on scrapping the fee immediately, Ford and his allies voted against the motion. It failed 26-11, and council proceeded to hand Ford the stunning defeat.
Municipal lawyers say the courts may well uphold the ban if it is challenged, since provincial legislation gives cities latitude to determine what is in the local interest and to address local environmental issues. Though the courts would make the final call, the provincial government does not believe Toronto's council stepped outside its bounds.
"The City of Toronto Act gives the city broad powers to pass bylaws and govern within its jurisdiction. Therefore, the city has the authority to make such a decision without the province's approval," Kelly Baker, a spokesperson for municipal affairs minister Kathleen Wynne, said Monday.

This image taken from video provided by NASA shows the launch of the high-altitude balloon carrying this saucer-shaped vehicle for NASA, Saturday June 28, 2014 in Kauai, Hawaii. Saturday's experimental flight high in Earth's atmosphere is testing technology that could be used to land on Mars. |
LOS ANGELES - NASA has tested new technology designed to bring spacecraft - and one day even astronauts - safely down to Mars, with the agency declaring the experiment a qualified success even though a giant parachute got tangled on the way down.
Saturday's $150 million experiment is the first of three involving the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator vehicle. Tests are being conducted at high altitude on Earth to mimic descent through the thin atmosphere of the Red Planet.
A balloon hauled the saucer-shaped craft 120,000 feet into the sky from a Navy missile range on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Then, the craft's own rocket boosted it to more than 30 miles high at supersonic speeds.
As the craft prepared to fall back to earth, a doughnut-shaped tube around it expanded like a Hawaiian puffer fish, creating atmospheric drag to dramatically slow it down from Mach 4, or four times the speed of sound.
Then the parachute unfurled - but only partially. The vehicle made a hard landing in the Pacific Ocean.
Engineers won't look at the parachute problem as a failure but as a way to learn more and apply that knowledge during future tests, said NASA engineer Dan Coatta with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"In a way, that's a more valuable experience for us than if everything had gone exactly according to plan," he said.
A ship was sent to recover a "black box" designed to separate from the vehicle and float. Outfitted with a GPS beacon, the box contains the crucial flight data that scientists are eager to analyze.
NASA planned to hold a news teleconference on the flight Sunday.
Since the twin Viking spacecraft landed on the red planet in 1976, NASA has relied on a parachute to slow landers and rovers.
But the latest experiment involved both the drag-inducing device and a parachute that was 110 feet in diameter - twice as large as the one that carried the 1-ton Curiosity rover in 2011.
Cutting-edge technologies are needed to safely land larger payloads on Mars, enabling delivery of supplies and materials "and to pave the way for future human explorers," a NASA statement said.
Technology development "is the surest path to Mars," said Michael Gazarik, head of space technology at NASA headquarters.

Mushroom Dyes

December I took a class on how to extract color to dye fiber from mushrooms –
it was incredible! The colors of this little knitted mountain man above were entirely procured from fungi.
you come across the opportunity to take a class with Alissa Allen, GO FOR IT.
She is a wonderful teacher, and is so so sweet. Unfortunately, our terrible drought situation hasn't encouraged fungi to sprout. Of course, my concerns about the drought don't have anything to do with mushroom dyeing.
I've updated my blog layout again; what do you think?
I also opened an Instagram account, and it's only filled with photos of Moses! Isn't he adorable?

Morgan, LeVert and Albrecht keys for MichiganBy NOAH TRISTER , Associated Press
Apr. 7, 2013 1:10 AM ET
ATLANTA (AP) — Jordan Morgan hurt an ankle midway through the season, and he lost his starting job at the beginning of the NCAA tournament. Michigan's Tim Hardaway Jr. (10) reacts to play against Syracuse during the second half of the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball semifinal game Saturday, April 6, 2013, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)
He was on the court at the end against Syracuse, though — and he made perhaps the biggest play of the game. Morgan drew a charge on a driving Brandon Triche with the Wolverines clinging to a two-point lead, and Michigan went on to beat Syracuse 61-56 on Saturday night to advance to the national title game. Player of the year Trey Burke scored only seven points, but the Wolverines were lifted by three key reserves. Caris LeVert and Spike Albrecht made some early shots to loosen the Syracuse zone, and at the end it was Morgan who helped hold off the Orange. "I always talk about the outliers that are out there — you just don't know who it's going to be," Michigan coach John Beilein said. "Whether it's Jordan Morgan's charge, or Caris hitting those or Spike hitting. That's been the key to our season. So many times, somebody else stepped up." Michigan will face Louisville in Monday night's title game. LeVert and Albrecht — hardly the team's top options offensively — combined for four 3-pointers in the first half. Syracuse (30-10) rallied and trailed 58-56 when Triche drove to the basket. Morgan, who has ceded playing time to freshman Mitch McGary, was waiting to draw the offensive foul with 19.2 seconds left. "He was going to be in there at the end when we needed stops," Beilein said. "Really happy for him." Syracuse had another chance with Michigan up three, but the Wolverines (31-7) got a stop, and it was Morgan who capped the victory with a breakaway dunk. Quite a moment for a guy who still hasn't played more than 6 minutes in any of the Wolverines' NCAA tournament games this year. Morgan played 5 on Saturday. "You can get down if you want to, but I didn't let myself do that. My teammates too, they've really been encouraging me and just keeping faith and knowing that my team is going to need me at some point to step up and make plays," Morgan said. "If I'm not there, then that could be the end of our season." Michigan already passed one big test in this NCAA tournament when the Wolverines picked apart Virginia Commonwealth's press on the first weekend. Syracuse's 2-3 zone figured to pose a different set of challenges — but Michigan has a deep roster of shooters. That was obvious in the first half. Burke scored only three points in the half, but he had plenty of help. LeVert, who looked like he might redshirt at the beginning of the season, made a 3-pointer with 11:25 left in the first half. That snapped a dry spell in which the Wolverines missed eight straight 3s. "We all tried to come in and give quality minutes off the bench. I think we did," LeVert said. "They really keyed in on Trey and I found myself open a couple of times." LeVert's second 3-pointer gave Michigan an 18-17 lead. Then it was Albrecht's turn. Burke's backup at point guard connected twice from long range, and after Burke made a long 3-pointer of his own, the Wolverines led 36-25 at halftime. LeVert had made only 11 shots from 3-point range coming into the game. Albrecht had made only 12. Michigan was doing what no other team seemed capable of lately — the Wolverines were beating the zone by shooting over all those long-armed defenders and moving the ball well enough to create more space on the perimeter. LeVert's main contributions this season have been at the defensive end, and Albrecht's job is usually to take some of the ball-handling pressure off Burke. Any scoring Michigan gets from either is a bonus, but on this night, those points early on were big. In the second half, the Wolverines wore down a bit. But they held on, thanks to Morgan, who had struggled to come back from a right ankle injury. The 6-foot-8 junior, an elder statesman on a team with several important freshmen, was on the court at the end — and boy did Michigan need him. "Jordan Morgan came off the bench and did a fantastic job for us," Michigan guard Tim Hardaway Jr. said. "He goes out and makes a lot of plays that we don't see out there." © The Associated Press.
