"Perfect location for visiting Vancouver, in a very nice neighbourghood. Not only the Land Lady is great, but the neighbourghs as well. We all enjoyed the terraze, the Barbeque, the wondeful baths and all of the appliances that we found in the house. A family of five felt like they needed nothing more. It is very close to a shopping centre and to Avenues 10 and 4 which are full of stores. We bought some second hand bycicles and we did not had to use the car in the three weeks we stayed in the house. We felt like at home."Guest: Rafael Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 29, 2014View listing
"We spent 8 glorious days in Vancouver and this condo is just like it is described and even better. Trish was so nice to work with - very patient and flexible with us because we kept changing our dates along the way. She met us there upon arrival and showed us around the condo. The place was a perfect size for the two of us - nice sitting area to read in the morning and the view every morning was spectacular. Extremely comfortable bed and the bedroom also afforded a lovely view. After a long day of sightseeing, it was great to come home to a place that was so comfy and actually we liked being there so much did take out a couple of nights just to stay at home. two block walk to the seawall which is a real treasure. great restaurants nearby - The Banana Leaf (Malaysian food) was excellent and a tapas restaurant on burard and Davie was also very good. If you like walking as we do, coal harbour is about 15 minutes away and that area of the city is beautiful. Stanley Park was a bus ride away and we went back there a few times. We would't hesitate to return here for a future vacation and probably would stay longer."Guest: patricia Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: October 17, 2014View listing
"All we can say is wow!! Our experience in this lovely suite was amazing! Our hosts, Teri and Gary made us feel like family and offered us more than we could have hoped for. We stayed in the suite for almost two months with our 1.5 year old and I was also pregnant at the time. Actually I had my baby while we were in Vancouver and brought our new little bundle back to the suite. Honestly I wouldn't have felt comfortable anywhere else. The suite itself is beautifully decorated and has everything you could need including a big tub, dishwasher and laundry facilities if necessary. There is also a beautiful little patio space just outside the door that we enjoyed when the weather was nice. The location is ideal as it's so close to Trout Lake, Commercial Drive and all major public transportation routes. We would highly recommend this suite and would love to stay there again!! Thank you Teri and Gary for everything! The Copleys"Guest: Jenn Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: January 25, 2015View listing
"This lovely home is located close to so many fun adventures. We spent 4 nights and visited downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, hiked in the mountains, walked along the beach and ate in many great restaurants. The home was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. Loved having the WiFi too - so we could plan our next days adventure. Thank you Pam and Randy for the comfortable stay."Guest: Julie P.

5. Apparatus in accordance with claim 4 wherein said guided means includes a guide member adapted to fit closely within said tube, said guide member having a width perpendicular to said knife which is greater than the width of said slot, said guide member fitting through said entrance opening, said knife having a portion which can be moved through said slot from said entrance opening to said distal end.
6. Apparatus in accordance with claim 5 wherein said knife has a sharpened edge facing said distal end of said guiding means when said guide member is in said tube.
7. Apparatus in accordance with claim 4 wherein said leading means includes a rod with a narrowed tip and with an end opposite adapted to fit snugly in said distal end of said tube, said rod further including a bend which directs said tip upwardly as said rod passes under the carpal ligament.
8. Apparatus for dividing a transverse carpal ligament in a hand of a person, comprising:
guidance means, extending simultaneously between incisions in the volar distal forearm and the palm, for passing on one side of the carpal ligament; and
means for dividing said carpal ligament, said dividing means including means for being guided by said guidance means, said dividing means further including a member which allows a person to advance said dividing means passed said carpal ligament, said member being connected to said guided means and extending spaced from said guidance means on an opposite side of said carpal ligament as said one side and through one of said incisions.
9. Apparatus in accordance with claim 8 wherein said dividing means still further includes a knife extending between said guided means and said member.
10. A method for using apparatus including means for dividing a transverse carpal ligament in a hand of a person, said dividing means having a pulling member and a guide member with a knife therebetween, said method comprising the steps of:
preparing said hand for a surgical procedure;
making first and second incisions in said hand;
with the wrist in a neutral position, passing guidance means subcutaneously from said first incision on one side of the transverse carpal ligament to said second incision;
passing said pulling member subcutaneously from said first incision on an opposite side of said transverse carpal ligament as said one side to said second incision, said guide member movably connecting to said guidance means;
pulling said pulling member to advance said guide member along said guidance means to allow said knife to cut said transverse carpal ligament, said diving means exiting the hand at said second incision;
removing said guidance means and
suturing said first and second incisions.
The present invention is directed to surgical equipment, particularly, apparatus for severing the transverse carpal ligament in a person's hand in treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome results from compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel of the hand. It occurs most often in people between 30 and 60 years old and is several times more frequent in women than in men. Any condition that crowds or reduces the size of the carpal tunnel may initiate the symptoms. If there are mild symptoms present, injection of hydrocortisone into the carpal tunnel may afford relief. When symptoms are persistent and progressive, however, division of the deep transverse carpal ligament is recommended.
In the 1950's, a procedure was developed for releasing the carpal tunnel ligament by pushing a closed blade. The procedure was rapidly discredited because of its inaccuracy and consequent failure rate. The original blade assembly resembled a meniscatome blade, but because the pathway of the blade was not directly controlled, it was possible for the surgeon to aim incorrectly and thereby sever nerves, arteries, or tendon structures. This was a truly blind procedure without guidance from additional devices or visualization.
Shortly after that, surgeons began using an open surgical technique, which is still the prevalent surgical treatment. Briefly, various curved or zig-zag incisions are made from a point ulnar to and paralleling the thenar crease to approximately the flexor crease of the wrist. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are incised, and the transverse carpal ligament then divided. The incision is closed and the wound drained as needed.
Following open surgical release, swelling at the base of the palm superficial to the carpal tunnel tends to persist for 12 to 16 weeks. During this time, the patient often experiences aching pain in the thenat or hypothenar eminences. Gripping activity aggravates the pain and may cause shooting sensations into the forearm. Resolution of the swelling is usually accompanied by relief of the pain.
Further results from open surgical release often include a tender scar, a hospital stay, and sometimes an incomplete release of the transverse carpal ligament.
A recent surgical procedure involves the use of an endoscope. The concept of the endoscopic technique is to permit constant visualization during the surgery. Briefly, the procedure requires a surgeon and an assistant. Approximate landmarks on the hand establish entry and exit portals which are marked. Incision at the proximal entry portal on the volar surface of the wrist is made using appropriate surgical incision tools. A slotted cannula assembly is guided into the entry portal incision space. The wrist and fingers of the hand must then be bent in full hyperextension. As a consequence, this procedure is not available to patients with stiff wrists which are unable to be hyperextended. An obturator fitted in the cannula advances against the transverse carpal ligament, using it as a ceiling. When the tip of the obturator reaches the pre-marked exit portal, a small incision is made and the slotted cannula assembly is pushed through. The obturator is removed from the cannula. A video endoscope is then inserted into the slotted cannula. The instrument is used to visualize the entire carpal ligament. If difficulty in accessing the ligament is experienced, the video endoscope must be removed, the obturator reinserted, the cannula assembly removed, and the placement procedure started again. When the surgeon is confident of understanding the carpal ligament, the video endoscope is moved out of the way with respect to the slotted cannula and various knife tools are inserted with the knife extending upwardly from the slot. After some cutting is done, the endoscope may be moved into place to view the cut. In this way, eventually the ligament is completely divided. Following removal of the video endoscope, the obturator is reinserred and the assembly removed with the wound then being sutured and given appropriate care.
The endoscopic release procedure seems to result in a less tender scar and possibly a faster recovery, perhaps 2 to 4 weeks. The costs of the procedure, however, are higher. There is a hospital stay. The procedure requires wrist hyperextension which is not possible with some patients. Although the visualization concept is attractive, there is considerable question whether anything useful is really seen.
In a recent study, with patients not receiving worker's compensation, it was verified that endoscopic patients return to work in about one-third the time of those having open surgical release. The endoscopic procedure is presently not recommended, however, since the present procedure does not address the possibility of cutting nerves and vessels over the ligament and with some patients there has been nerve injury.
Thus, open surgical release procedure remains the most prevalent treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome having more advanced symptoms so that division of the transverse carpal ligament is indicated. Some of the more positive results, however, of the endoscopic release technique, such as, less tender scar and faster recovery time, show that improvements are possible. This gives impetus to development of the present invention. The present invention requires appropriate testing, but is expected to provide a more reliable and safer, much quicker and less expensive surgical technique than the endoscopic technique and should result in less pain and tenderness and faster recovery.
The invention is directed to apparatus for dividing the transverse carpal ligament. The apparatus includes guidance mechanism and cutting mechanism. The guidance mechanism passes under the carpal ligament in such a way that it extends subcutaneously between a pair of incisions in the volar side of the palm. The cutting mechanism passes over the carpal ligament while also extending subcutaneously between the incisions. In this way, the cutting mechanism can be guided by the guidance means between the incisions to accomplish the division.
The invention is also directed to the method for using the apparatus. The method includes the steps of preparing the hand for a surgical procedure. After making first and second incisions in the hand and with the hand flat, the guidance means is passed subcutaneously from the first incision under the transverse carpal ligament to the second incision. Cutting mechanism is then passed subcutaneously from the first incision over the transverse carpal ligament to the second incision. The cutting mechanism has a knife at an end with a guide member which movably connects to the guiding portion of the guidance mechanism. The knife is advanced to cut the transverse carpal ligament. The knife exits the hand at the second incision. The guiding portion is then removed and the incisions are appropriately sutured and given care.
The present apparatus and method is accurate and reproducible. The guidance mechanism is placed below the carpal ligament and the cutting mechanism is placed above it. The tissue in between is cut and cut along the path defined by the guidance mechanism. The procedure is easy and can be performed in the doctor's office, so it is much less costly than known procedures. It is expected that recovery time will be faster than known procedures and pain and tenderness less. Since the wrist can remain flat, as opposed to being hyperextended, the procedure should be available to all patients. Additionally, the procedure as described visualizes the superficial palmar arch as necessary through the distal incision as well as the distal aspect of the transverse carpal ligament, which is important to success of any of the procedures described to date. Visualizing the transverse carpal ligament distally allows for the device to be positioned accurately and the device itself prevents excursion of the knife into Guyoh's canal, which is possible with the upward cutting blades utilized through the endoscopic slotted cannula, which do not control the path of the blade beyond the under surface or volar aspect of the transverse carpal ligament. The endoscopic slotted cannula systems allow for the surgeon to inadvertently pass sharp knife instruments into Guyon's canal, whereas this guided (anatomic guided C.T.R. system) blade cannot pass into Guyoh's canal, as it is guided on both the dorsal and volar aspects of the transverse carpal ligament.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of apparatus in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the knife mechanism;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1, from Just in front of the flat handle looking away from it;
FIG. 4 is a top view of the palm of a hand;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view laterally across the hand in the region of the transverse carpal ligament; and
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the hand and the apparatus of FIG. 1 with a portion of the hand cut away to show the apparatus in position during surgical division of the carpal ligament.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and more particularly to FIGS. 1-3, apparatus in accordance with the present invention is designated generally by the numeral 10. Apparatus 10 includes guidance mechanism 12 and cutting mechanism 14. Guidance mechanism 12 further includes mechanism 16 for guiding cutting mechanism 14 and mechanism 18 for leading the guiding mechanism 16.
Guiding mechanism 16 includes a tube 20 with a slot 22 running from distal end 24 to an entrance opening 26 near the proximal end 28. Tube 20 should have as small a diameter as possible within the constraint that knife 42 must be of a sufficient size to cut the transverse carpal ligament easily. The width of knife 42 then dictates a somewhat larger diameter for guide member 48. The inside diameter of tube 20 is only slightly larger than the diameter of guide member 48. The wall thickness of tube 20 depends on the material used, but in any case, tube 20 must have sufficient structural rigidity to provide a steady guiding channel for guide member 48 to follow from entrance opening 26 to distal end 24. Tube 20 is preferably made from stainless steel, although other materials are appropriate as well.
Tube 20 is formed to include a bimodal curve with the convex side toward the thumb of the particular hand. At distal end 24, portions of each side of tube 20 are cut away to leave a bottom extension 30 extending a short distance beyond the slotted tubular portion of tube 20. Extension 30 protects the patient's hand as cutting mechanism 14 is pulled from tip 20. At the proximal end 28 of tube 20, in a region proximal of entrance opening 26, a flat handle 32 is attached. The planar orientation of handle 32 is approximately parallel with extension 30 so that both elements lie relatively flat on the patient's skin. Handle 32 is attached to tube 20 by weld or other known fastening mechanism.
The leading mechanism 18 is a rod 34 with a narrowed tip 36. Rod 34 is preferably made of a plastic material. The end 38 opposite tip 34 is formed to fit snugly in the distal end 24 of tube 20. Leading mechanism 18 includes a bend 40 so that when mechanism 18 is inserted in tube 20, tip 36 is directed somewhat upwardly. In this way, during insertion of guidance mechanism 12, tip 36 can be used to palpate the under surface of the carpal ligament.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, cutting mechanism 14 includes a knife 42 having a mechanism 44 for pulling at a first end 46 and a mechanism 48 for being guided while being pulled by the pulling mechanism at the second end 50 of knife 42. Knife 42 has a sharpened edge 52 facing the distal end 24 of guiding mechanism 16 when guide member 54 is in tube 20. Edge 52 has a concave arcuate shape. Knife 42 has width to provide sufficient strength to cut the carpal ligament. Slot 22 is only slightly wider than a portion of knife 42 so that knife 42 can be pulled the entire length of slot 22.
Pulling mechanism 46 is an elongated, flexible rod 56 having a narrowed tip 58. The first end 44 of knife 42 is fastened in a slot in proximal end 60 of rod 56. Rod 56 is preferably made from polvinylchloride (PVC) or an equivalent material.
Guide member 54 is a unitary enlargement of blade 42 at second end 50. Guide member 54 is cylindrically shaped with a diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of tube 20. The diameter of guide member 54 is somewhat larger than the width of knife 42. The distal tip 62 is preferably semi-hemispherical. Guide member 54 is sufficiently long to prevent excessive wiggling in tube 20 with its length preferably approximately centered on the center of sharpened edge 52. Entrance opening 26 must be sufficiently large to easily receive guide member 54. Extension 30 must be sufficiently long to provide a platform for guide 54 on which to rest when it exits distal end 24 of tube 20 before being lifted and separated from guiding mechanism 16.
In FIG. 3, the relative relationship between tube 20 and guide member 54 is shown, with knife 42 extending through slot 22. Knife 42 is shown relative to carpal ligament 64.
In use, with reference to FIGS. 4-6, apparatus 10 functions in accordance with a relatively simple surgical procedure to divide the transverse carpal ligament. The hand is first prepared for a surgical procedure in a fashion known to those skilled in the art. First and second incisions are required. The first incision 66 is directed radially approximately 1 centimeter in length from a point about 1 centimeter X radial from the center of the pisiform bone 68 and about 1 centimeter Y proximal therefrom. The second incision is a little more than 1 centimeter Z proximal from and parallel to a line 70 bisecting and on the ulnar side of an intersection between the ring line 72 and a line 74 across the palm from the distal border of the thumb.
With the hand flat, the guidance mechanism is subcutaneously passed from the first incision under the transverse carpal ligament to the second incision. As known to those skilled in the art, various nerves and arteries and other anatomic features must be carefully avoided. Tip 36 of leader rod 34 can be used to palpate the underside of the carpal ligament as the guidance mechanism is advanced. This allows a second incision to be placed where the guard is palpated surfacing from below the transverse carpal ligament. The guard is lifted from the incision, verifying its location Just distal to the transverse carpal ligament. The patient is asked to move their fingers, verifying that tendons have not been entrapped. The guidance mechanism 12 is advanced so that entrance opening 26 is proximal and outside first incision 66. Distal opening 24 is distal and outside second incision 70. Extension 30 and handle 32 are relatively flat against the skin. Leader rod 34 is removed from tube 20 so that distal end 24 is open. Tube 20 is shown in cross-section relative to carpal ligament 64 and several other anatomic features in FIG. 5. Cutting mechanism 14 is next passed subcutaneously into first incision 66 and over transverse carpal ligament 64 to project out of second incision 70. Again, as known to those skilled in the art, various anatomic features must be carefully avoided. Cutting mechanism 14 is advanced sufficiently far so that guide member 48 can be placed in entrance opening 26. Rod 56 is then gently pulled to advance knife 42 while guide member 48 tracks tube 20. As knife 42 is advanced, transverse carpal ligament 64 is cut. Eventually, knife 42 exits second incision 70, and guide member 48 reaches distal end 24 of guiding mechanism 16 so that cutting mechanism 14 can be separated from guiding mechanism 16. The first and second incisions 66 and 70 are sutured and otherwise given post-operative care as known to those skilled in the art.
The entire procedure is done with local anesthesia and can be done in the doctor's office. Since the guiding means 16 and cutting means 14 are placed accurately before any cutting is done, and since knife 42 then follows an accurate path as established by guiding mechanism 16, the carpal ligament division is accurate and reproducible. It is expected that the present technique will lead to less tenderness and pain and a shorter recovery period. The present technique is clearly less expensive than known procedures. The present apparatus and technique considerably simplifies the surgical solution to carpal tunnel syndrome, and is a significant improvement over known procedures.
Finally, even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing, together with details of structure and function, it is understood that the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts and with respect to procedure, are within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.

"So, I was thinking we could go to your room," Patrick said, after he beat the dealer with nineteen. "If I know Ronnie, he's probably just about falling asleep out by the pool."
"You haven't won yet." Her fingers drummed along the edge of the table as she watched the dealer dole out another hand. "Not that I'm saying you're going to, but let's say you do. You really want Whitney in the next room? Kind of puts a crimp on how much noise you can make."
"I'm quite adept at not shouting out your name at ... inappropriate moments. Besides, if she hears anything at all, she'll just think you lost interest in the casino and came upstairs early."
Cass smiled at the pair of aces she held. "Splitting," she announced, separating the cards and tossing in the new bet. "I suppose if what Whitney says is true, it'll all be over in five minutes anyway."
Patrick checked his facedown card. "Hit me. And, Cass, it'd be the best five minutes of your life."
"Oh, I dunno about that. I've had a pretty exciting life so far." She swore when the dealer turned over twenty to her two nineteens. "Though tonight is turning into a bust."
Patrick only smiled as he revealed his twenty, and the dealer bypassed the pile of chips in front of his cards. "Looks like it's going to plan to me." A server in a skimpy outfit sauntered by and he gestured for her. "Can I get a rum and coke, and a Sam Adams for my friend here."
Cass kept her bet low on the next hand, riffling through her stack of chips as she sat in silence. She didn't speak until she pushed on eighteen, shifting to face him a little more directly.
"What would you do if Ronnie found out about this little bet?" sheasked.
"Depends on how he found out. If you told him, I guess I'd have to be honest with him. If he just suspected something was up and confronted me, I'd lie."
"But he's your best friend."
"Would that be an argument against honesty or against lying?"
"Either. Both." The drinks arrived, and she immediately took a long swallow. "I guess I'm trying to figure out why you decided to do this now, of all weekends."
Patrick grinned at her. "Because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Because I was feeling lucky. Because I wanted to know if you could walk the walk after running your mouth."
"I can..." She scowled at the cards she'd been dealt. "...when the cards aren't completely fucking with me." Her eyes darted from hers to the eight the dealer had showing. "Hit me." The jack he tossed Cass had her growling in disgust and reaching for her beer. "You've got balls, Patrick, I'll give you that."
"Hit me." The dealer laid down a three and Patrick flipped his down card up, revealing an eight to match his ten and three. "Twenty-one." He reached for his drink and shrugged. "Sometimes you've got to be willing to take a chance. That's what gambling is all about, right?"
"But you've never even kissed me. How do you know it's not all in your head, something you've built up since that blind date?"
"Good point." He leaned over, his hand cupping the back of her head, and touched her mouth with his. It was the slightest caress, but it sent a sharp jolt down his spine. Knowing he could have more, could have it all, in a less than an hour, made his groin tighten. Patrick leaned back and licked his lips. "What do you think?"
He caught the glitter of her eyes before she turned back in her seat. "I think this bet's not over yet."

wiki: Kingdom Centre (Arabic: برج المملكة) in Riyadh is the tallest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia and the 40th tallest building in world with a height of 302 m (991 ft). It is also host to the highest mosque in the world. The Kingdom Centre is owned by Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a prince of the Saudi royal family. It is also the headquarters of his holding company: Kingdom Holding Company. The total cost of the project was 2 billion Saudi Arabian Riyals and the contract was taken by Saudi Arabian El Saif and the Italian Impregilo S.P.A. Kingdom Centre is situated in Al-Urubah Road between King Fahd Road and Olaya Street in the growing business district of Olaya in Riyadh. Kingdom Centre was the winner of the 2002 Emporis Skyscraper Award, selected as the "best skyscraper of the world for design". A three-level shopping center, which also won a major design award, fills the east wing. The large opening is illuminated at night in continuously changing colors. Besides the shopping mall, the Centre includes a Four Seasons Hotel and state-of-the-art apartments. The 56 meter long skybridge atop the skyscraper contains a public observation deck and a view of the entire city of Riyadh. The ellipse motif taken from the tower's footprint appears also in the light fixtures, ceiling panels, entrance canopy, wastebins, and furniture.

Tempe, Ariz. — Dan Voltz is being a good teammate:
Selfless. Supportive. Patient.
That doesn't mean life for Wisconsin's redshirt freshman center is easy.
"I think he has handled it great and it's not an easy situation for him to be in," offensive line coach T.J. Woods said this week as UW (2-0) prepared to face host Arizona State (1-0) at 9:30 p.m. Saturday. "And really it's not an easy situation for me, either.
"I like Dan. I think he is a good player. I don't have anything against Dan.
"I think we won't miss a beat if we put him in. But we're having success with the guys that are in there right now."
Voltz, who opened preseason camp as the No. 1 center, learned how missed time because of injury can alter the depth chart.
A hamstring injury in camp cost Voltz a full week of practices. That forced Woods to adjust. He shifted Dallas Lewallen to center from left guard, moved Ryan Groy from left tackle to left guard and inserted Tyler Marz at left tackle.
That trio remained intact for the balance of camp, along with Rob Havenstein at right tackle. Kyle Costogan and Zac Matthias split time at right guard and have continued to share the workload in UW's first two games.
Voltz is the No. 2 center behind Lewallen, though his workload has been limited in the first two games. Voltz acknowledged he has avoided wondering what his role would be if not for the injury.
"I don't like to look at it that way," he said. "Right now we've got a great group starting and I'm ready to go in whenever they need me.
"It is an unfortunate thing that happened, but I think the team is doing great right now so that's good."
Voltz did say that preparing to start, something all reserves know they must do, while knowing his playing time could be minimal, isn't easy.
"It is kind of like the situation I was in last year, being the No. 2 center," said Voltz, who was the backup center in practice but never played. "You know that during practice you're not going to get many as many reps as the No. 1s.
"But you've got to make sure you take the mental reps. I'm not getting as many physical reps, but I've got to be just as sharp as Dallas is."
Voltz played two series last week against Tennessee Tech. He took over at center with 6 minutes 16 seconds left and UW leading, 41-0.
"I would have liked to get Dan more reps in the game last week," Woods said.
The first series lasted one play. Tailback Corey Clement scored on a 75-yard run.
"So that kind of hurt his opportunity for his reps," Woods said. "And we really didn't take care of business as early as I would have liked in order to get Dan the reps.
UW's last series was all of four plays, including a missed 31-yard field-goal attempt by Jack Russell.
"He needs reps," Woods said of Voltz. "It is my job to get him the reps. But again, I don't have any reservations putting him in play two in the game (if) Dallas goes down or something happens."
Woods generally has been pleased with the play of the No. 1 unit and the linemen in general.
The only significant issue for Lewallen has been miscues on the snaps to quarterback Joel Stave.
UW suffered two botched snaps in the opener and one last week, though according to Woods the botched snap against Tennessee Tech involved the snap count.
"That was on me," Lewallen said. "Hopefully the third time is a charm. We went from two last week to one this week and hopefully zero."
Meanwhile, Voltz works to remain prepared and waits for his chances, limited for now.
"As we progress through the season we won't be talking about this anymore because we're going to need Dan," Woods said. "That is just the nature of the beast, but right now he is handling it great.
"He is a team guy. He is all for the O-line. And that is what you have to be as an offensive lineman. It's not a selfish position. He is handling it very maturely."

While the end result of Arcade Fire's much-anticipated, sprawling, double-disc, 75-minute Reflektor is, thankfully, better than you might have been led to believe by the Saturday Night Live performances and Roman Coppola-directed special that aired immediately after those a few weeks back, my initial assessment of the beloved indie-rockers' new music wasn't far off base.
These 13 tracks are indeed an unlikely hybrid of '80s David Bowie (think "Let's Dance"); U2 arena bombast leavened with a bit of Bono-as-MacPhisto irony; disco-era Roxy Music, and hints of New Orleans second line music by way of Haiti. The group's desire to stretch out and experiment, reasserting what used to be called an alternative attitude, certainly is understandable and even laudable, following the last album's embrace by the mainstream and a Grammy win for album of the year.

Wow have we all forgotten Stop Light racing ! That;s why cars were modified! I own a 04 WRX Wagon and it can smoke almost every 50's 60's and 70's Muscle car made, just look at the quarter mile time's.
When you pull up to a light with a old muscle and some kid in a Evo or a new Mustang pulls up next to you, They will just laugh at you and blow your doors off . New cars are just faster and handle better now and the brakes are great.
That why old guys with money, will bring an old car into the 21st century and don't forget pride in your old car. My brother has a 69 Z28 with factory rear disk brakes which make it 1 of 200. It just sits in his garage because it's to rare to drive. I don't see the fun in owning something you can't drive.

I agree with Nick's comments and assure you that he is aware of and respects the nebulous history of bouldering out there. I do not think secrecy is a sustainable, long-term plan for protecting resources be it camping or climbing. I think that perhaps the argument of secrecy is at heart derived from a more selfish goal of keeping a location, area, boulder, etc. to yourself and/or your group of cronies. Perhaps secrecy may delay an influx of people, but I doubt that any amount of online spraying and posting will drag hoards out to Unaweep for climbing and/or bouldering. As for dealing with issue of people trashing the land out there, I believe whole heartedly that climbers are not to blame for the majority of damage. There have been hobo villages and all manner of people destroying the land out there; from paintballing to high school partying. These sorts of issues are better dealt with explicitly. There is an open and fruitful dialogue between the BLM and concerned climbers about land use and the issues of vandalism and misuse. With the increasing popularity of climbing at a global level, providing the correct information and making every effort to facilitate educating those new to the sport/outdoors should be of the highest priority.

Great place to come and chill out, watch sports and even have small private events!
Authentic PR food. They can take a long time to serve but it's definitely worth the wait
To die for. Service could use a little "juicing" and pick up the pace, but the food is delicious!!
Delicious. Two for one titles days... If ordering food on Tuesday as for all the plates to come out separately- not two orders of the same in one plate- smaller portions.
Small and cozy shop. Nice variety of clothing, shoes, miscellaneous items to chose from.
Good place to have some delicious and authentic PR food. Try the trifongo
Beautiful ocean, great to celebrate events, birthdays or just spend a day at the beach. Watch for sporadic showers.
Went for the filet and Brussels sprouts- unbelievable!! What a delicious meat!! Wine was very good. A little loud for my taste. Recommended to make reservations, even if it's the same night.
Their sports bar is a great chill out spot. Perfect place to watch all games, 5 flat screen tv's and a projector. Fully stocked bar!!
Best place to eat if you're out and about late night. Open till 4am, great drinks, can get a little loud. Everything is delicious!!! The "arroz enchurrascado" is exquisite and enough for two.
Try the 50/50 or the chorizo burger!!! Great beer selection and chill-out atmosphere.
Burguer tastes out of the box... But the wings are delish!!!! Great hang out for Wednesday nights.
Great atmosphere with a breathtaking view. This sports bar has it all covered: drinks, comfortable seating, different sports game playing on each TV, fully stocked bar and beautiful waitresses.
New look and feel. This bar/ lounge has a big city feel. Bartenders are great, and the quality of the drinks are top notch!
Molly's is the perfect place to come and enjoy delicious food an great service by the best staff. Genuine people delivering excellent service, and the view is just out of this world!
Great choice is music add great customer service, splash of amazing yogurt, fun filled adventure going through the motions of the toppings... What do you finish off with? An amazing dessert!
Alan is the man to go. Not only is he amazing at what he does, he's a perfectionist and will always take care of you... And your nail needs!
Pretty fun karaoke on Wednesday nights

His books (which as I understand are pretty much word-for-word from his lectures) are pretty damn good. Just as an FYI and all.
May 7th, 2008 #3
My aunt studied under him. I looked at one of his books (didn't have time to read it). I'm sure it's got great information, but I didn't think there were enough images. It doesn't go into anatomy so much as proportions.
May 7th, 2008 #4
I've seen a few of those videos in my anatomy class. There is a lot of good information in there, but his drawing skills are/were a little lacking. Pretty much you can get the same info in these videos from his books. Might even be better since you won't have to rewind it if you miss something.
If you have seen any of Glen Vilppu's videos, the Hale movies are just like that. The videos here are a black and white recording of one of his class lectures. Sound wasn't all that great and Hale must have been a heavy smoker because he had these sporadic smoker coughs that grossed me out.
Personally, I thing youre better off going with the Vilppu videos and possibly getting R.B. Hales books. For one, the cost will be less and youll be able to buy more of them.
Ive been keeping an eye out for Hales lectures on DVD at a reasonable price. If I come across anything, Ill pass it along here.

May 7th, 2008 #5
RBH!!!!! is the man.
he teaches anatomy primarily as it is in reality and is more educator than artist (wich is what wants in recource) his drawing can appear skewed ( as Talbot refers to ), but bare in mind he is drawing them from the ground with a 3 foot stick with a marker on the end, craning his neck on a white board to a giant lecture hall (ouch!), and doesn't have the opportunity to view it from a distance...
his emphasis is on the science. and he is considered the worlds foremost anatomist for the arts ...or has been in his prime...a world wide draw.
if you need anatomy info ...he is on the short list. personally despite his odd drawings i found him the next step after one has exhausted the usefulness of Bridgeman
Hale does none of the work for you in abstracting structual forms
he gives you the facts (not his personal artistic interpretation, in the way a Hogarth or Bridgeman do )in a more medical light..than most.
to that point i suggest folks look for medical anatomy texts as well.

I was going to tell you about studying with Hale, but if you consider his anatomical drawings "odd" there's no point.
May 8th, 2008 #7
furthermore its clear that all here, that have seen his work are big fans of Hale.
...so what tha deal Max-Shack ? poop got'chyer pants?
i think the vids are great....hale's texts and these vids were the basis of all my art college anatomy courses...Bridgeman and Hogarth were frowned upon..and forbidden ...at the time i bristled at that fact...but now i believe i get it.

5:36–38 Making a patch from a new garment for an old one spoils both—the new by having the patch torn from it, the old because the patch does not match. New wine in old wineskins ferments and bursts the skins; both wine and skins are lost.

A collapsible and foldable canvas structure has only two structural panels, each formed by a piece of fabric material spread across and secured about its periphery to a resiliently flexible wire frame. One of the panels is laid flat on the ground or other supporting surface; the other rises vertically from a median section of the first and is held by straps or by sheets of fabric material not structured or framed by any wire but joined to the top of the vertical panel and to the outer edges of the flat one. A window cut on the center of the vertical panel provides access from one side to the other. The panels are substantially commensurate. They can be brought back together and twisted along with the remaining components of the structure into a compact package.
1. A collapsible and foldable canvas structure which comprises:
a base having a longitudinal, median axis and including a first resiliently flexible wire frame and a first piece of fabric material spread across and peripherally attached to said first frame;
a flexible and pliable tensile member;
each of said base and tensile member having first and second opposite longitudinal edges parallel to said axis, the first longitudinal edge of one being attached to the first longitudinal edge of the other; and
a second resiliently flexible, closed wire frame having a top edge attached to the second longitudinal edge of said tensile member and a bottom edge opposite said top edge resiliently attached to said base substantially along said axis; and
a second piece of fabric material spread flatly across and peripherally attached along all sides to said second frame;
said tensile member and second frame being shaped and dimensioned to place said second frame in a substantially vertical plane when said base is laid upon a horizontal surface.

9. A self-erecting and foldable structure which comprises:
first and second panels having substantially equal widths, each of said panels including a closed resiliently flexible wire frame and a piece of fabric material spread flatly across and attached along its entire periphery to said frame, each of said panels further including two opposite, parallel and substantially straight longitudinal edges and opposite latitudinal edges;
a third panel made of sheet of fabric material not structured by any peripheral armature, said third panel being secured along two longitudinal edges to a first of said longitudinal edges of each of said first and second panel;
means for securing a second of said longitudinal edges of said first panel to a median portion of the second panel; and
means for holding said first and second panels substantially orthogonal to each other.

This invention relates to tentS and other light, temporary structures made of canvas stretched over foldable armatures.
There is disclosed in the prior art, several types of collapsible and foldable tents and similar structures which use armatures made of wire loops across which sheets of canvas have been spread and attached about their periphery. U.S. Pat. No. 4,825,892 Norman, which patent is incorporated in this specification by this reference, discloses a typical embodiment of this type of structure.
In most self-erecting canvas structures of the prior art, the structural or supporting elements are constituted by roof, wall and floor panels, each including a resiliently wire frame. In some cases, one of the wire frame-supported elements is strengthened or replaced by external supporting or anchoring components such as posts, stakes, and other rigid implements which add weight and volume to the structure in its collapsed configuration.
The instant invention results from an attempt to simplify the construction of collapsible and foldable canvas structures by limiting the number of framed panels.
The principal and secondary objects of this invention are to provide a collapsible and foldable canvas structure that requires a limited number of structural panels made of a resilient wire frame upon which a piece of material has been stretched and peripherally secured, and to offer such a structure in a variety of configurations having multiple uses.
These and other valuable objects are achieved by using, as basic elements of a collapsible and foldable canvas structure, a preferably rectangular base panel having two opposite, longitudinal edges and a median longitudinal axis, and second panel held vertically and orthogonally above the longitudinal median axis of the base panel. Each of the panels comprises a piece of fabric material spread across and peripherally secured to a resilient wire frame. The frame may be constituted by a closed wire loop confined within a channel formed in the periphery of the sheet of fabric material. Alternately, the frame may be an open length of wire extending along all the edges of the piece of fabric material minus one. Both panels are commensurate and can be laid one on top of the other in a collapsed configuration then twisted into a compact package for transportation or storage. The second panel has a large window cut therethrough to allow passage from one side of the panel to the other. The second panel is held in its vertical position, in the absence of any other wire-framed panel, by two flexible and pliable tensile members such as one or more fabric web or straps or, preferably, by two sheets of fabric material, each of said members having a longitudinal edge attached to the top edge of the second panel and another opposite longitudinal edge attached to a longitudinal edge of the base panel.
Referring now to the drawing, there is shown in
This particular structure can be used as a target or goal in the practice of soccer, hockey or other similar sports. Without the aperture through the second panel 11, it can be used as a projection screen or as a tent or other type of temporary shelter.
The second embodiment of the invention 21 illustrated in
In the third embodiment of the invention 28 illustrated in
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described, modifications can be made and other embodiments may be devised without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.

Basilica, Site of Umm Qais (Gadara) : Michelin's recommendations
Probably once covered by a dome, the basilica's central octagon is distinguished by eight basalt Corinthian columns, contrasting with the atrium's milky-white column shafts. This layout pins down construction to the 5C-6C. On a hillside site, its altar was separated from the nave by a chancel. Opposite, a narthex preceded the basilica. Symbolising the passage from the terrestrial to the celestial realms, the ambulatory is attractively paved in polychrome geometric tiles.

Dressed in a traditional blue-white Gaurang Shah outfit, adorned with jhumkas, Sonam Kapoor stands true to her diva image. Down- to-earth, spunky she defies conventions, and while most actors are worried about their image and about being politically correct, she believes in calling a spade-a spade, even if it means ruffling a few feathers. Curling her feet up, and making herself comfortable, the actor passionately talks about her films, her career choices and more
What was the reason for doing a slice-of-life film like Bewakoofiyaan, post something as off-beat as Raanjhanaa?
Honestly, I needed this respite. When I started shooting for Raanjhanaa, the first half of the film was nice and fun. But, as the story progressed, my character Zoya, became complicated and darker. When I had finished shooting a portion of the second half of Raanjhanaa, Adi (Aditya Chopra) called and told me, that he has a script that is written by Habib Faisal. I thought it would be something rustic like Ishaqzaade or a slice-of-life film like Do Dooni Chaar. But, when I read the script of Bewakoofiyaan, I thought it was very urban and real. I needed to do a light-hearted film post Raanjhanaa, before doing other films like Khoobsurat or Dolly Ki Doli. Although, it was a lot of hard work, it still felt like a paid holiday, as I was working with my friends like Nupur Asthana. Besides, most of the crew consisted of women, and I also wanted to work with a wonderful production house like YRF.
Bewakoofiyaan got a mixed response. When a film doesn't live up to expectations, does it depress you in any way?
I'd like to believe that the media has helped me a lot, in the sense that even if a film of mine hasn't done well, the articles or reviews about me have always been positive. A lot of actors don't read reviews, but I read them, and they have actually given me strength. I feel, I've had a good journey so far in a lot of ways because of the media. My journey has always been difficult at various points, which is always the case when you take a road less travelled upon. I've made difficult choices, but when a film like Raanjhanaa does well, it is a bigger victory for me, than a film with a big production house or a big co-star doing well.
What are the parameters that you consider while selecting a role?
My biggest ambition and focus has been to not get typecast. I've consciously decided to never do the same thing again, because then you don't have a long career. People tire of you easily when they watch you doing stereotypical characters. I don't look at acting as a stepping stone in my life, I look at it as my bloody job! I'm consciously trying to climb the ladder slowly, so that I reach …continued »

We live in a society where there's too many lawsuits. People and lawyers try to take advantage of the system. That's why a lawsuit should never be filed unless it helps keep our community safe or rights an ethical or moral wrong.
A company not doing a thorough background check to find out its driver has a reckless driving history, not training its employees properly to perform their jobs in safe manner or not enforcing its own policies of making sure its employees perform their jobs safely ... these are choices that companies make.
Drinking and driving, texting and driving or running a red light ... these are choices that drivers make.
A healthcare provider not properly monitoring a mother and child during pregnancy or childbirth, not having someone in charge of a patient's care, not ruling out a potential life threatening condition when symptoms indicate the patient may have that life threatening condition ... these are choices that healthcare providers make.
A company not following its own safety policies, a driver not following the rules of the road or a healthcare provider not following the standard of care ... by holding these wrongdoers responsible and accountable for the harm they cause, we keep our community safe. We keep the same thing from happening again.
Accepting personal responsibility and accountability is the right thing to do ... the ethical and moral thing to do. If a company, driver or healthcare provider refuses to accept personal responsibility or accountability for the full amount of damage they cause, then a lawsuit should be filed and the wrongdoer held responsible and accountable to keep our community safe.

Sue Follett FORT BELVOIR, Va. – The employees of the U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC) outdid themselves in generosity this year, contributing more than $15,000 to the 2012 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) and far exceeding fundraising projections. USAASC employees donated $15,830 to the CFC, the only authorized charitable-giving drive for federal employees. That total surpasses this year's goal of $9,146 as well as last year's donations of $12,826. Keith Butler served as USAASC's CFC campaign manager. "I'm very proud of the support our community has shown to the CFC," he said. "We kicked off our fundraising effort in October with a four-part campaign, and had a steady level […]
