5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest American Epic
The fact that "The Right Stuff" lost the Oscar for best picture to "Terms Of Endearment" is beyond me; this movie should have won. The fact that it wasn't a hit at the box office back in 1983 is also beyond me. We are talking about what I think it's the best American epic in all the sense of the word.

The fact that "The Right Stuff" lost the Oscar for best picture to "Terms Of Endearment" is beyond me; this movie should have won. The fact that it wasn't a hit at the box office back in 1983 is also beyond me. We are talking about what I think it's the best American epic in all the sense of the word.
It's strange that a Venezuelan-born like me should talk about a movie like this, but I feel that "The Right Stuff" should have been a classic -well, it is for me. The story of the "Mercury" astronauts is portrayed marvelously by Philip Kaufman's direction, showcased beautifully by Caleb Deschanel's stylish photography, and supported by an incredible cast including Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Barbara Hershey, Sam Shepard, Pamela Reed, Kim Stanley, and Veronica Cartwright.
In fact, I remember when I was watching that movie at home, and my late father asked me if a man that appeared on the screen was astronaut John Glenn because he looked just like him. Of course I told him he was an actor who was playing his role. That said, it's incredible to see how Ed Harris is perfectly cast as Glenn.
And I don't want to forget one of the reasons why I love this movie, and that's Bill Conti's spectacular music score. Of course it may sound a little like Holst's "The Planets", but I usually weep every time I listen to the main theme.
I'm glad that a special edition DVD of "The Right Stuff" has been released, with fantastic extras that include new interviews with the cast and crew, deleted scenes, and an incredible documentary on John Glenn. I'm also glad about it because I think that this movie should be rightfully appreciated not only because it deals with historical events like the breaking of the sound barrier and the first American astronauts, but also because, as I said before, this is a classic.

This review is from: The Right Stuff (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
When The Right Stuff came out in 1983 it was a big hit with critics but failed to get off the launch pad with audiences. The film disappeared off of almost everyone's radar for the next ten years, only appearing semi-regularly on cable movie channels. After a clunky movie-only DVD (spread over two sides of a single disc), The Right Stuff has finally been given its due respect with a fantastic two DVD set.
The second DVD features two scene specific audio commentaries. This is a recent trend that eliminates dead air by only showing footage from the movie that features comments from the participants. The first track features a good portion of the cast, from the major players like Ed Harris and Dennis Quaid, to minor ones like Donald Moffat and Pamela Reed. The track starts off appropriately with Chuck Yeager's comments on the factuality of the scene where he breaks the sound barrier. The cast all tell good stories about making the movie and one gets the impression that the actors who played the astronauts really bonded while filming-a connection that still stands today.
The second track features select crew from the movie. It is more informative and technical in nature.
"Realizing The Right Stuff" is an excellent retrospective documentary on the making of the film, from the optioning of Tom Wolfe's book to the end of principal photography. The cast and crew tell all sorts of fascinating stories, however, the difficulties with William Goldman's initial drafts of the screenplay are not even mentioned (for more on this check out Tom Charity's BFI book).
"T-20 Years and Counting" documents the post-production process. This was before CGI and so all the special effects were achieved simply, using models and other low tech methods with results that still hold up today.
"The Real Men with The Right Stuff" puts the film in its proper historical context and takes a look at the real astronauts of the U.S. space program.
"Additional Scenes" is ten minutes of footage that was cut from the movie. It is obvious why these scenes were cut but should be of interest to fans.
The "Interactive Timeline to Space" provides vintage footage from important dates in the history of the space program right up to the tragic Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003.
"John Glenn: American Hero" is a feature length PBS documentary on the famous astronaut and takes a look at his life and his most recent achievement of being the oldest person in outer space.
The Right Stuff is an important film whose legacy can be felt even today. Without it, there would have been no Apollo 13 or Contact. This forgotten film has finally been given a decent DVD treatment and hopefully this will lead to renewed interest.

This review is from: The Right Stuff (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
The story behind America's journey into space has always been a fascinating tale. The courage displayed by the early space pioneers cannot be understated. This select group of men placed their lives on the line for the pride of a nation and helped shape the course of space flight well into the current century. Their story has been immortalized in Philip Kaufman's "The Right Stuff."
Knowing the dangers involved with testing new experimental spacecrafts, a group of pilots chose to brave the odds in their quest to travel the stars. There are several arcs in the film that follow these pilots with the ones involving John Glenn (Ed Harris), Leroy "Gordo" Cooper Jr. (Dennis Quaid), and Virgil "Gus" Grissom (Fred Ward) being the most engaging. Each arc explores the unique contribution each man made to the space program. In addition, the film also explores how the astronauts' newfound celebrity changed their personal lives and their place within the American popular consciousness.
The triumph of "The Right Stuff" is its ability to chronicles just how difficult and dangerous a venture it was to travel beyond the Earth during the early stages of America's space program. Television and historical accounts of the early space flights typically did not show this dimension of the initial flights - we saw the rockets taking off, we glimpsed some footage of outer space, and then we saw the capsules returning back to Earth. The public never saw the blood, sweat, and tears it took to develop and implement the space vehicles and the hard decisions made by individuals who were placing their lives or the lives of others at risk. Kaufman is careful to document each link in the chain in the evolution of the space program and all its accompanying dangers. Yet, the film never loses sight of the individuals who helped humanize one of the most exciting journeys in the modern history of humankind. This balanced narrative makes "The Right Stuff" a tribute to the intrepid spirit that was behind America's space pioneers as well as a tribute to the pioneers themselves.

This review is from: The Right Stuff (Widescreen) (DVD)
This is one terrific movie and it acheives its' greatness on many different levels. Take any category, acting, directing, writing, sound, photography, costume and design, supporting acting, editing, etc, and you come up with a winner in this movie. So let's start with the acting. For several of these young actors, especially Scott Glen and Ed Harris, this was their first major introduction to the general movie-going audience and they came away as big-name actors. Theirs were only two of many great preformances. Sam Shephard got the prize role of Chuck Yeager and did a terrific job with it. The contrast between Yeager and the seven Mercury astronauts was effectively protrayed by periodically switching the focus from one to the other. This was done extremely well at the end of the movie. The point of this contrast might be debatable. To me, it showed that the heroes we are given in life are often subjectively selected. Yeager is certainly a familiar name (especially after the release of this movie). However, think of what name recognition he would have if HE were the first American to go into space.
The script, from Tom Wolfe's excellent book of the same name, is fantastic. For all of us who experienced the early days of the "space race", there is a lot of information that we never knew before. Some of the information we get tells us how "human" the astronauts were (are) and some tells us how "human" some of out leaders and directors were. Every scene is important in its' own way which is a credit to the directing and editing of this film.
There are a number of scenes where the photography is particularly stunning. Not the least of these is at the end of the movie when Yeager actually appears to enter outer space in an aircraft. The music is very impressive. There are a number of climatic scenes where the music actually gives you goosebumps.
This is a movie that all audiences can enjoy. There is plenty of history in this movie. There is also a great deal of implied flag-waving as the US vs. Soviet space race is on display. There is also a lot of heroics, action, and humor. The final scenes, as previously alluded to, are very artistically woven together. We see the glitz of fame versus the guts of anonymous individual effort. This is a real "feel good" movie. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for.

Tars Tarkas "Tars" (Barsoom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Right Stuff (Widescreen) (VHS Tape)
The Mercury 7 astronauts were once-proud figher jocks who sold out to NASA and LBJ by volunteering to be "spam in a can" on
"flights" over which they had no control and on craft they were not allowed to maneuver. In fact, the originally designed space capsules had no windows, and Alan Shepherd had to urinate in his suit -- pee in his pants -- on the launch pad because he had no control over the launch and couldn't leave his seat. In other words, they became like circus performers who are shot from a cannon -- undoubtedly brave, but neither skillful nor pilots -- and all for the glory of hyped-up public recognition and assorted freebies.
The real pilots, the best pilots, were the test pilots, against whom the astronauts are compared throughout the movie. They were the real heroes, like Chuck Yaeger, who broke the sound barrier with a broken rib and had to close his plane's door using a sawed-off broom handle for leverage. These men flew planes, tested the edge of their skills and of their crafts, and often died trying. The best ones weren't interested in being astronauts because it wasn't "flying" and didn't really require "pilots."
The astronauts are stuffing themselves on free food and ogling fan dancers in the Houston Astrodome during a celebration LBJ put together for them for strictly political purposes. "Look what I brought you, Texas!" LBJ shouts, introducing the astronauts and, by implication, the pork of the new Houston Space Center. Grateful for the glory and bounty, the astronauts momentarily look at each other pensively as if to admit, just for a secret moment, that they aren't really hot stuff and don't deserve all this; that the best pilots, the real pilots, are still out there "pushing the edge of the envelope," unsung by the public.
For meanwhile, in a wonderful editing juxtaposition typical of this marvelous movie, Chuck Yeager flies his new experimental plane from the runway up to the far reaches of the atmosphere, achieving the near reaches of outer space, entirely on his own skills as a pilot, and loses control of his craft in the thin air. It appears he made this flight on his own say-so, on his own terms, an ability the astronauts gave up long ago for cheap public glory.

This review is from: The Right Stuff (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
Warner Home Video has rereleased "The Right Stuff" in a two-disc set that packs the 3-hour-and-13-minute film onto a single disc, uninterrupted (unlike the previous Warner DVD).
The Oscar-winning sound returns in a hair-raising Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. The new audio maximizes the supersonic possibilities without straying into overkill, resulting in an aural experience that's simultaneously bone-jarring and elegant. The subwoofer track maintains an even strain when not required to power up for launches.
The movie comes in widescreen only. Video is decent, but flat in some outdoor scenes. Cinematographer Caleb Deschanel's beloved sunrises and sunsets look fine, as do most scenes under controlled lighting. All that silver taxpayers' metal looks sharp and focused. There is a fair amount of speckling early on, but nothing to detract from the home-video experience.
Bonus materials about the production and the space program fill the second disc, highlighted by KCET's "John Glenn: American Hero," a sensational 90-minute documentary packed with historic footage both familiar and seldom seen. Levon Helm, who narrated "The Right Stuff," returns to talk over a trio of new DVD documentaries, his voice having migrated into Chill Wills territory. Two of the docus cover the film; the other checks up on the surviving astronauts.
Most of the film's key participants roll out for interviews and reminiscences, most of them marveling at the time they had making this film. No wonder -- it's the best and most exciting drama made about the U.S. space program.
5.0 out of 5 stars 1983: An interesting year for films...,
R. Gawlitta "Coolmoan" (Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Right Stuff (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
I think if "The Right Stuff" was released in any other year, it would've won every award. Nominated for only 8 Oscars, it won 4 technical awards (Sound, Editing, Music & Sound Effects). Based on Tom Wolfe's book, which is a non-fiction account of the beginnings of America's flight/space program, I'm sure it missed on Philip Kaufman's very original take on the whole idea (hence, no nomination). Indeed, Kaufman's original screenplay and superb direction (also not nominated) kept the narrative absolutely riveting, even at 3 hours. There is nothing wrong with this film; it's as good as American film could be. Most interesting is that Kaufman's screenplay didn't have to invent characters; and they were, indeed, "characters". They were living & breathing types who were committed. I'm sure the Academy didn't know what category to put him in (like Oliver Stone's "original" screenplay for "Nixon" or the Coen Bros. (adapted?) of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", both nominated). 1983 was a year of wonderful films. "Terms of Endearment" won for best Picture, and Ingmar Bergman's "swan song", "Fanny & Alexander" won all the art awards (Cinematography, Art Direction, Costumes). It can only be the idea of the Academy that rewards must be given to the great guys; maybe a guilt trip. I remember this film being at the top of practically every "10 Best" list. Well, enough of that! The Academy has missed many times. What we have here is a film of power and interest, brilliantly conceived and beautifully photographed. The central character really has to be Chuck Yaeger (well played by nominated Sam Shepard). Ed Harris (as Glenn) made his mark, and the following year proved himself in "Places in the Heart". Barbara Hershey has always been underrated, and she's as good as they get (she was given the role only days before filming started). Indeed, the female roles are given second seat to the great male characters; Pamela Reed, Kathy Baker, Veronica Cartwright, and, especially, the great Kim Stanley. Jane Dornacker, as Nurse Murch, is a special treat. All great! There's some improvised nonsense between Jeff Goldblum and Harry Shearer that is wonderful and keeps the whole silliness in perspective, though these guys are dead-set on serious stuff. The interaction among these guys is smart, revealing and educational. Fred Ward and Scott Glenn are fine; I was especially taken by Dennis Quaid as Gordo Cooper, a relaxed performance. Since the film ends in 1964, I wish there was more reference to Deke Slayton (Scott Paulin) and Wally Schirra (Lance Hendrickson). This is a wonderful ensemble film, but it centered on only 5 of the 7, as well as Yeager. It is a tribute to Yeager, as he deserves it. The other guys had so much to tell. I did not want this movie to end!!! This new DVD version is WONDERFUL!
4.0 out of 5 stars only needed an isolated music score to be perfect,
This review is from: The Right Stuff (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
I was glad to see this come out in a special two disk edition. But since the soundtrack was never released, I was extremely disappointed that they didn't take advantage of the new edition to add an isolated music score as one of the extra features.
The latest release of Apollo 13 DVD plays the entire music score when the DVD is at Menu. The same could have been done for The Right Stuff, and soundtrack fans would FINALLY have the soundtrack available in entirety at least in DVD form, and have one more reason to purchase or upgrade the DVD version. You can get some bits of the Right Stuff soundtrack on a combo CD with music from another film, but you simply can't buy the complete soundtrack.
So it was very short-sighted decision not to include this award winning soundtrack on the DVD.
DVD makers should strongly consider the feature where the entire music score plays when the DVD is left at the menu option. It's a real bonus to soundtrack fans. And even for non-music lovers, it's a break from having the same short extract play annoyingly over and over if you are called away from a DVD that has reached the menu option.
Other than missing an isolated music score with the ability to play the soundtrack as an additional feature, this was a fine set.

This review is from: The Right Stuff (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
Sure, "The Right Stuff" is one of the most epic and compelling movies ever made. And the overwhelming majority of us have watched it with rapt attention...at least once, if not several times. But, in the tradition of "Why leave anything alone, when we can throw in some extras, repackage it as a "Special Edition", and persuade folks that it is worth shelling out another $20 for"...
It's not even worth discussing the movie itself, because we are all familiar with its grand tale of 7 men with "the right stuff�h and their involvement with the Mercury Program in the early 60's during the beginning of the "space race".
The two disc special edition consists of the original film on one disc (finally placed completely on one side, as opposed to the original "flipover"), and a disc of special features that were definitely lacking (missing entirely, as a matter of fact) from the original DVD release. Although it's nice to have special features as a compliment to the movie, it would be even nicer if they were as special as they could have been.
A couple of short documentaries, while not going in-depth on the making of the film, are a collection of reminiscences from cast, crew, the remaining Mercury astronauts, and Chuck Yeager. The 15 minutes of �gextra scenes" are basically cutting room scraps, not possessing any of the details or beauty of the actual film. In many cases, the extra scenes don't even appear to fit properly into any particular spot in the film (which is probably why they were cut). There is a 25-minute section of "selected" scenes where you can hear commentary by EITHER the cast or the crew, which are actually enlightening and amusing...but the logical move would have been to include a commentary track (or 2) for the entire film. There is also a very lame "interactive timeline" for the space program...12 or so listed dates that you click on to get a 10 second video blurb or a 2 screen text description of the event. Although it�fs nice that these were included in the set, there isn't anything overly "special" about any of these features.
However... as the final special feature, there is a 90-minute PBS production on John Glenn: American Hero, which is interesting, informative, and downright attention grabbing. Incredibly well done, it focuses on the one member of the Mercury Team who has actually remained in the public spotlight for 40+ years, from his younger years, up to his return to space as part of a shuttle mission in 1998.
If you already own the original release DVD, it is probably not worth it to upgrade just for the sake of getting the special features. But, if you have never owned this classic before on DVD, it is worth every penny, and can definitely be considered the "right stuff".

This review is from: The Right Stuff (Widescreen) (DVD)
I have been an aviation fan for as long as I can remember. My mom thinks that my first words might have been "airport beacon". As such, I found the book version of this movie at the airport and decided to read it. I was amazed at both the history of the Mercury program and the early history of Edwards Air Force Base. Anyways, it was a very good book.
Having read the book, it was only a matter of time before I watched the movie. I was not disappointed by the movie (unusual for movies based on books). I thought it was a very well acted, directed and special effects movie. I can understand why it won two Oscars for the technical stuff. It's a shame it didn't win Best Picture. Hollywood is not known for Oscars for military related movies.
I've seen the movie several times now and I bought this when it first came out on DVD. It is cool at the beginning to hear the engines of the B-29 as Yeager goes out to break the sound barrier. It's also cool to hear the echoes as he talks in the hanger to Ridley. I wish more movies were like this one.

Mah Boo Is Such A Prude!
The Silver Fox filled in for Reeeeeeeg on Regis & Kelly yesterday morning and got to interview that limp asparagus tip and her fuck body of the moment from The Bachelorette. On Mah Boo 360 last night, Coopy talked about how he asked the only question any of us care about: How many dudes did she get her sex on with? The limp asparagus tip said she kissed 10, but only 4 with tongue. Ehehehehehe. This made Mah Boo almost vom in his purdy mouth. Adorable!
But don't slap me with a flaccid peen like that, Andy! You know very well that on any given week, you kiss on at least 10 lips WITH tongue! And that doesn't include the lips on faces either. OW! But really, my nipples go weak whenever Mah Boo plays hard to git!

An expandable intravenous catheter for the infusion of fluids into a blood vessel comprises a helically wound tube having a diameter that can be varied from a normal minimum diameter to a relatively larger diameter by axial movement of the ends of the tube relative to each other, after insertion of the catheter into the blood vessel.
1. An expandable intravenous catheter for the rapid infusion of fluids into a blood vessel comprising:
a radially expandable fluid impervious tube comprising a membrane having oppositely helically wound fibers therein, said fibers being wound to a predetermined minimum diameter and having a memory so as to constantly bias said membrane to said minimum diameter, the diameter of said tube being expandable against the bias exerted by the memory of said fibers upon axial movement of the ends of the tube toward one another;
a hub on one end of said tube;
a rotatable spool journaled on said hub; and
a plurality of cords connected, respectively, to an opposite end of said tube and to the spool on said hub, rotation of said spool effecting tensioning of said cords and movement of the opposite end of said tube toward said hub thereby to expand said catheter in direct infinitely controllable relation to the angle of rotation of said spool.
This invention relates generally to intravenous catheters and more specifically to a controllable, variable diameter intravenous catheter.
Intravenous catheters are generally utilized to slowly introduce fluids into the body. Occasionally, however, such catheters are required to rapidly introduce a large amount of fluid into the body. If, for example, a patient is hypovolemic and in shock or at risk of shock, the catheter is inserted into a patient's blood vessel and a large volume of fluid is rapidly delivered through the catheter.
In order to facilitate rapid, high-volume infusion of fluid into a blood vessel, the catheter should have an outside diameter equal to the maximum inside diameter of the blood vessel. However, such a catheter is obviously difficult to insert into the blood vessel. Furthermore, since a hypovolemic patient's blood vessels are often collapsed, it is often necessary to expand the blood vessel prior to the infusion of fluids.
Intravenous catheters are known which utilize a helically braided tube that inherently expands within the blood vessel after insertion. The tube is designed so that, in its natural state, its diameter is maximized by plastic memory order to use such known catheters, a sheath is telescoped thereover to condition the tube for insertion into a blood vessel. The radially constrained tube and its restraining sheath are inserted into the blood vessel. The sheath is then drawn from the blood vessel allowing the tube to expand to its natural state thereby expanding the blood vessel by exerting a radially outward bias on the walls thereof.
One problem with such known catheters is that the diameter thereof cannot be reduced after removal of the sheath. Thus, the catheter must be removed from the blood vessel while in the expanded state in which it exerts a bias upon the walls of the blood vessel. Removal of such known catheters has been known to abraid the walls of the blood vessel, encouraging subsequent blood clot formation.
The aforesaid problems are solved, in accordance with a preferred constructed embodiment of the present invention, by an intravenous catheter that, in the normal condition, is radially contracted by plastic memory to facilitate insertion thereof into a blood vessel. After introduction into the blood vessel, the catheter is mechanically radially expanded to facilitate the introduction of fluids. Release of the mechanically induced expansion permits the catheter to radially contract due to plastic memory to facilitate withdrawal thereof from the blood vessel.
More specifically, a fluid impervious tube has a braided helix supportive reinforcement manufactured so that in its natural state it is of minimum diameter. Radial expansion of the catheter is accomplished by mechanically shortening the helical reinforcement after insertion of the tube into the blood vessel. Mechanical shortening of the tube is accomplished by tensioning a pair of retraction cords which are attached to the insertion end of the catheter and to a rotatable catheter expansion control knob at an opposite end thereof. The rotatable control knob is journaled on a hub on the outer end of the catheter and has a straight, wide central passageway for the acceptance of a needle or a fluid supply tube.
The catheter is expanded by rotating the control knob on its supporting hub. When the knob is rotated, the retraction cords are wound about the hub so as to draw the insertion end of the catheter toward the rotatable element, concomitantly mechanically expanding the diameter thereof. When the control knob is subsequently rotated in the reverse direction, tension on the retraction cords is relieved and the catheter inherently returns to its natural, relative small diameter state due to plastic memory of the helical reinforcement.
The diameter of the catheter can be infinitely adjusted between a natural condition of minimum diameter and an expanded condition of maximum diameter by rotation of the control knob.
FIG. 1 is an elevational view, partially in cross section, of a preferred embodiment of the catheter of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a view of the catheter of FIG. 1 telescoped over a needle that has penetrated a blood vessel;
FIG. 3 is a view taken within the circle 3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a view taken within the circle 4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a view of the catheter after insertion into a blood vessel;
FIG. 6 is a view of the catheter after radial expansion within the blood vessel and insertion of a standard IV tube for delivery of fluid; and
FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken within the circle of FIG. 6.
An intravenous catheter 10, in accordance with a preferred constructed embodiment of the present invention comprises a helically braided tube 12, wound so as to exhibit a minimum natural or inherent diameter. The tube 12 is covered by a fluid impervious flexible coating 13, for example a latex film, for the containment of fluids. When the ends 14 and 16 of the tube 12 are drawn toward each other, the tube 12 expands. Conversely, when the ends 14 and 16 of the tube 12 are free to move apart, the tube 12 narrows due to the inherent memory of the fibers thereof.
In accordance with the present invention, a hub 20 supports the outer end 14 of the tube 12. The hub 20 comprises an inner cylinder 22 that defines a passageway 24 through the center thereof, for the acceptance of, for example, a needle 25. The hub. 20 has an outer cylinder 26 that surrounds the inner cylinder 22 in radially spaced coaxial relation and is connected thereto by a radial flange 28.
A rotatable element or control knob 30 is journaled on the outer cylinder 26 of the hub 20. The knob 30 has a central aperture 32 for the acceptance of an upper end portion 33 the inner cylinder 22 of the hub 20 which in turn provides access for the intravenous feed tube or needle 25.
A pair of retraction cords 40 and 42 are connected to the rotatable control knob 30 as by stops 44 and 45, respectively, and to the insertion end 16 of the tube 12 as by plastic welding or bonding. Rotation of the knob 30 is indexed by circumferentially spaced detents 46 in the knob 30 which accept complementary projections 43 on the hub 20. As seen in FIG. 3, the attachment points 47 of the cords 40 and 42 to the insertion end 16 of the tube 12 are on the interior of the tube 12. The cords 40 and 42 are routed internally of the catheter 12 in freely slidable relation thereto, thence outwardly of the catheter 12 and through a pair of apertures 48 and 50 in the flange 28 of the hub 20.
When the control knob 30 is rotated, the retraction cords 40 and 42 are wound around the inner cylinder 22 of the hub 20 which functions as a spool. The cords 40 and 42 draw the insertion end 16 of the tube 12 toward the hub 20 shortening and thereby mechanically radially expanding the tube 12.
In operation, the intravenous catheter 10 is telescoped over the needle 25 prior to insertion thereof into a blood vessel 60. After the needle 25 punctures the blood vessel 60, the insertion end 16 of the catheter 12 is advanced thereinto. Thereafter, the needle 25 may be removed and a larger diameter tube 62 inserted into the catheter 10.
As seen in FIG. 7, rotation of the catheter control knob 30 effects winding of the cords 40 and 42 about the inner cylinder 22 of the hub 20, thereby axially shortening and radially expanding the catheter 12 to the full inside diameter of the blood vessel 60.
To effect removal of the intravenous catheter 10, the cap 30 is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction of initial rotation thereby relaxing tension on the cords 40 and 42 and allowing the tube 12 to return, by memory, to its inherent minimum diameter configuration. The intravenous catheter 10 can then be removed from the blood vessel 60 without damage thereto.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed, it should be appreciated that the invention is susceptible of modification without departing from the scope of the following claims.

World Famous Grater
"That grater? Your Great, Great Aunt Rose probably grated cheese for her famous chicken gizzard casserole with it." — Machen Supply
An American kitchen classic. People from all across the world have written and shared stories about inheriting a 100+ year-old Bromwell grater, and they remain sharp even after all these years.

Grate Information About Your World Famous Grater:
- A Jacob Bromwell® product is an investment for life. Only Bromwell manufactures these quality cheese graters! Many other cheese graters imitate the original Bromwell design. None are made as well, and none have the history to back them up. See how it's made here at our Factory Tour!
- This is the real deal. Still a top seller, still made by Bromwell, and still proudly made in America by red-blooded American workers.
- Available in both 'original tin' and 'stainless steel'. As a company that prides itself on the authenticity of its products, this Heritage Collection product is available in 'original tin', which is the same material that our company used nearly two centuries ago. For those who prefer a more premium material, we are now offering this product in 'stainless steel' as well for an additional cost. As a premium material, stainless steel has a shinier finish than tin, is a bit heavier, and is rust-resistant.
- It's still made the good old fashioned way. Handle is attached to the grater using old-fashioned metalworking techniques, just like the graters made by our company nearly 200 years ago.
- We invented this cheese grater back in 1819. Invented by Mr. Bromwell himself back in 1819, this cheese grater is where the tradition and art of grating began.
- Stainless steel is guaranteed not to rust. This grater is now also built out of quality stainless steel and guaranteed not to rust.
- It's the most versatile cheese grater on the market. 9" grater features fine, medium, and coarse grating surfaces, plus a slicing surface, which makes it the most versatile cheese grater on the market.
- Product care: Hand wash only. Do not place in dishwasher.
- Dimensions and weight: 4 x 3 x 9 (inches), 0.45 (pounds).
- Minor cosmetic imperfections may occur. Small imperfections are a natural part of the handmade process and lend charm, depth, and individuality to each piece.
- This product is guaranteed for life. Your purchase is backed by our 100% Lifetime Guarantee, so you can buy with confidence.
- It's proudly made in America. Still Made in the USA, even after all these years. Buy American and save jobs.

Memphis students sing at White House
WASHINGTON — Melissa Howard sings everywhere — in church, at school, at home in the shower and, now, at the White House.
At the end of a workshop celebrating women in soul music, the University of Memphis student jumped to her feet Thursday in the presidential mansion's State Dining Room, snapped her fingers and led the crowded room in a singalong of Arthur Conley's "Sweet Soul Music."
The rest of the crowd joined in, and within seconds, the entire room was united in song and swaying back and forth while celebrated vocalists Patti LaBelle, Melissa Etheridge and Janelle Monae watched with delight.
"I felt honored to even be there," Howard said later. "But to sing and show off the talent that God gave me, that was awesome."
Howard and 10 other Tennessee college students, including five others from Memphis, were invited to the White House to take part in a workshop on female performers' roles as the "foremothers" of soul music.
The students scored the invitation through their involvement with Youth Villages, a Memphis-based nonprofit that offers programs for children from troubled homes.
The workshop, part of the "In Performance at the White House" series, was hosted by first lady Michelle Obama, who described soul as the kind of music "that makes you move no matter who you are or where you come from."
During the workshop, 125 students from across the country were given a brief history of soul music, from its origins in Africa and its ties to gospel, on through its evolution as a global music form. LaBelle, Etheridge and Monae spoke briefly about their experiences in the music business and performed.
Then, at the end, the students surprised the performers by breaking into song.
Howard was chosen by the other students to lead off the singalong. Then, one by one, other students joined in until the whole room was moving to the music.
Darrah Hall, a senior at the University of Memphis and a huge music lover, got to sing one of the brief solos during the student performance.
While getting to sing at the White House was an experience she'll never forget, "it's bigger than that," Hall said. "Coming through Youth Villages, it just let me know that my struggles, the things I went through, they were not in vain."
Michelle Morgan, who is studying computer programming at the University of Memphis, called the experience "a life-changing event."
Besides the workshop, the "Women of Soul" event will include a White House concert featuring Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott and others that will be broadcast in April on PBS.

For those whose babies seemed to want their hand out, do you think he'd sleep better if he really was swaddled and couldn't get to his hands, as in, every new baby sleeps better when swaddled, or do you give into the possible preference to be free?
p.s. I am probably not making much sense or wording my question just right, so apologies. I am pretty tired.
Mama to F(06/11/09) and baby boy C (06/09/11)
I didn't swaddle any of my babies. If I did, the woke up sooner than if I'd just tucked the blanket around them. I really think it depends on what your baby likes. As with any new baby it's trial and error.
Married to a Navy man of 12 yrs.
03/02: 11/05: 01/08: 10-18-09: 10-31-10 and 7/22/13 with twins and just found out we're again!!
m/c '97 and in '03
We didn't swaddle DD but a few times. She didn't like it. The only times she got swaddled was when she was so upset from being over tired did it work. Otherwise it was a fight to have her swaddled. Even in the hospital the nurses would swaddle her and after having to feed her or change her and it would get messed up. I couldn't figure it out...lol
However she didn't mind sleep sacks. because she could move her legs some and her hands were free.
We have not swaddled either of our girls. They were big and didn't really like it.
SAHM to Chloe«- 6/2008 (10 lbs, 5 oz), Hannah- 9/2010 (9 lbs, 12 oz), Liam- 2/2013 (9 lbs, 6 oz)
We swaddled our first DD, but not my 2nd. She was sick early on and I was too nervous to swaddle with breathing issue going on....by the time I actually tried it, she was not having it!
Different kids, different preferences I guess.
I didn't. She didn't like being wrapped at all. Sometimes she'd tolerate being covered with a blanket. Fortunately we live in a warm climate.
Mother of two spectacular girls, born mid-2010 and late 2012
Never swaddled my kids. In fact it used to irritate me when people would do it to them (like nurses in the hospital after birth)...I'd just unwrap them.
- Buddha
Our baby is a breakout artist! She can get out of any swaddle in the matter of seconds (even those swaddle sack things). She loves to have her arms free. However, she doesn't like her feet free. So we just swaddle her from the armpits down. She won't got to sleep at night for any decent period of time without the 2/3 swaddle.
DW and I are moms to two teens (DD 17 and DS 15) adopted through CAS in 2007 and a toddler (DD 2) born at home in March 2011.
I didn't/don't.
We tried, but after carefully wrapping her up while she struggled, just to have her immediately break free, over and over again, we just gave up.
Two non-swaddled girls in this house! My DD #2 is 6 weeks old and does like to be in her Moby wrap, but swaddling her and leaving her in her bassinet? Forget it! She wants to kick and flail those arms and be free!!! Both my girls were a week late and we joke that they both wanted freedom so much that when we try/tried to swaddle, they're like, "are you kidding me?" Ha! I know another mom who is now trying to break her 6 month old of only sleeping swaddled, so I guess don't worry about it if your babe doesn't like it! Go with the flow! They grow up really fast... :) Try the half-swaddle and keeping him in long sleeves if it's chilly at night.
My first did not like to be swaddled, but my second did. Just follow your LO's lead.
My second would still sleep swaddled if he could. He's six months and an expert roller. We're having trouble getting him to feel comfortable unswaddled.
If your LO is comfortable, go with it.
I never did, but I'll admit that the whole practice was lost on me. Holding a swaddled baby felt like carrying around something inanimate.
no swaddling here either... DS2 has liked to have a blanket wrapped around him though, but I let him have his arms wherever he wants them.
Catie - Happy wife to Aaron (01.05), mama to Liam(08.08), and Ian (11.10)! and due Feb 2013 with blessing #3!
I had twin sons (now about to turn 16 - gasp!) who were born extremely premature (24 wks.). From birth, one of them liked to be swaddled, curled up and cuddled (as much as that could be done, with all those tubes in an incubator!!), while the other was happier (had higher oxygen saturation levels) when splayed out like a drunk sunbather and left alone.
Even newborns (even newborns with identical DNA) are still individual spirits!
One woman in a house full of men: my soul mate: or... twin sons:(HS seniors) ... step-son: (a sophomore) ... our little man: (a first grader) ... and there is another female in the house, after all: our.
We were arms-out swaddlers, but actually didn't start until DD start sleeping poorly at 4-ish months old. Then she was swaddled from the chest down until 9 months! Just occurred to me, though, that swaddling her might have really helped our nursing struggles as I simply could not keep her hands out of her face while learning to latch her. Whoops...
I didn't swaddle my dd..she didn't like it at all! I just wrapped her blanket around her, under her arms and tucked it under her back and she has been the best sleeper since.

Highly erotic pron December 2, 2012
Reviewer: customer review
Well shot production of beautiful couple engaging in passionate kissing and bedroom sex. This is a movie to be enjoyed with your female partner unlike others that are bent on male satisfaction.
December 30, 2010
Reviewer: Customer Review
In general I agree with the Blissbox reviewer, this was well produced in attractive settings with couples who gave every impression that they enjoyed what they were doing.I do have one quibble however and that is the obsession with external 'cumshots'over the woman. Pulling out to do that breaks the natural rhythm. Leanne's hasty turn around to 'bring off' James just spoilt what had been a beautiful scene up to that point (a lovely girl though!)In Lucy with Tristan it appeared that Tristan had climaxed in her, more could have been made of that, but Lucy's orgasm when Tristan gave her the oral treatment at the end was beautiful to see. For those who like their sex to be sensitive, sensual and erotic this is the one to watch.
December 30, 2010
Reviewer: Customer Review
The Art of Sex really is a beautiful, sensual experience. VivThomas productions were always the right kind of people to make something like this, employing beautiful performers who make love like they really mean it. In between scenes are the candid thoughts of the stunning Monica who reveals what little things turn her on, and while there are no amazing revelations, there are truths in there that even the best of us forget. There are also the usual indicators of where the erogenous zones are, and what effects they have on women. Mostly though, this very erotic DVD features plenty of very natural lovemaking scenes that are unobtrusively directed. Sex should never be a chore, this DVD reminds you of the simple things to keep it exciting.

What's so good?
By Jason Grishkoff | Aug 23, 2012 | Total plays: 19,573
Unsurprisingly, Sun Glitters' Last.fm account provides a pretty accurate account of his style:
Sun Glitters sound is an ocean of lush melodies, pitch-shifted vocal samples, ghostly digi-diva choirs, warm bass melodies driven by alternately dense and relaxing beatwork combinations between downtempo and wonky beats.
I've listened to the song maybe four times this morning, and every time it keeps getting better.

Macmillan Reaches Partnership with St. Martin's Press and Entangled for New Distribution
In the new distribution arrangement and joint venture agreement, Macmillan will distribute English language e-books of Entangled's new publications in all domestic and international markets and for all platforms where Macmillan currently does business.
With unprecedented growth, in a year Entangled has exploded to twelve imprints with more than 350 authors and thirty titles released per month. In 2012, Entangled published the sixth overall best-selling book of the year and eight national best sellers. The agreement includes additional resources and personnel from Macmillan to strengthen Entangled's infrastructure. "This partnership brings a global leader in print and digital distribution, ensuring Entangled can continue to support our rapid growth and success," says CEO and publisher of Entangled, Liz Pelletier.
In a separate agreement, St. Martin's Press will launch a new joint venture imprint known as St. Martin's/Entangled which will bring into print and publish a select number of Entangled's digital first titles.
"We couldn't be more excited about our alliance with these giants in the industry," says Liz Pelletier . "To be able to bring our titles to a global audience, meeting both the needs and expectations of our authors and readers everywhere, has exceeded my expectations as a publisher. We look forward to an exciting collaboration with Macmillan and St. Martin's Press."
John Sargent , Macmillan's CEO, said, "We are hugely impressed with Liz Pelletier 's vision and what she has accomplished in such a short time. We found her out-of-the-box approach to publishing incredibly exciting and saw potential to work together with her on several levels. We think Liz and Entangled have found a new way forward and we think we can help build on that remarkable success."

I dig the suspicious one, but the other three faces seem off.
Devious it's in the eyes.. they are not right.
Melancholy it's like the eyes are too far apart.
Furious has a distorted right side.. not to mention why is her nose all sorts of shaded? Is she hammered? lol
Nice job on the bottom ones. The folds of robes and what not are real nice.

The shading is fine, but, to honest, the expressions look cartoonish (not that I can do much better with my current level of skill).
Everything is better with dinosaurs.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -- Cody Zeller had 20 points and eight rebounds, leading No. 1 Indiana to a stunning 83-59 rout of No. 14 North Carolina on Tuesday night in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Victor Oladipo and Will Sheehey both added 19 points for the Hoosiers (7-0), who have won 34 consecutive November games at home. The Tar Heels (5-2) were led by Dexter Strickland with 14 points and Marcus Paige with 11 -- not nearly enough when North Carolina managed three points and one field goal -- a tip-in that Indiana may have gotten a hand on -- in the first 8 minutes of the second half. For 16 minutes, the college powerhouses battled to a 31-31 draw. But Zeller scored six points in a 15-6 run to close the first half and played a key role in the Hoosiers' 13-0 spurt to open the second half that turned the game.

Top 10 wines in the UK press30th June, 2014 by Lauren Eads
Wishbone Pinot Noir 2012, Marlborough, New Zealand
With barbecue season well upon us Fiona Beckett, writing for The Guardian, rounds up her recommendations for the best wines to enjoy over a grill al fresco this summer.
She said: "If you're looking for lighter reds to drink with grilled fish, your main options are pinot noir, Loire reds or beaujolais, to which I recently devoted a column. All are worth serving lightly chilled, to freshen and accentuate the fruit. The pretty, raspberry-scented Wishbone Pinot Noir 2012, from New Zealand's Marlborough region would do the job nicely."
