Courtney LaPlante – Iwrestledabearonce
Interview by Tony Cannella
Questions by Miriam C.With a new label home (Artery Recordings), iwrestledabearonce returns with a killer new album, "Hail Mary". This was a good enough reason to catch up with lead vocalist Courtney LaPlante. We discussed a variety of subjects but most importantly, "Hail Mary". A huge thank you goes out to Miriam C. for her help with the questions. Read on… First of all, welcome to Femme Metal, Courtney. How are you doing?
I'm doing very well, thank you.Your new record "Hail Mary" is due out June 16th via Artery Recordings. What can you tell us about it?
Oh man, the keep it short and sweet, it's the heaviest thing we've ever done. It's the most dark, heavy album that this band has ever done. I also think it's the most technically adventurous album this band has ever done and it's the most pissed off album this band has ever done.How would you say this record differs from your previous album, "Late For Nothing"?
I think on this one we just didn't care if it sounded too extreme. This one is completely groove, rhythmic based and the vocals are as extreme as the heaviness on the guitars. It has a lot more of a – I don't want to say a prog feel to it – but it definitely has more of a groove, a pulse.Your new single is called "Erase It All". Eddie Hermida from the band Suicide Silence guests on vocals on this track. How did that collaboration come about?
This collaboration was straight up being best friends with him and ten feeding him a bunch of margueritas and coaxing him into being on the album (laughs). He's a really good friend of ours. I hadn't had a guest vocalist on our album. There are a lot of people I really respect and admire. I really, really respect Eddie and it's just cool that he's also a very good friend of ours. You know, I would have had him anyway. He also just happens to be one of my favorite vocalists in this industry right now. That was kind of like a happy coincidence, he's my friend and I would've loved to collaborate with him anyway, the fact that he's so good is a wonderful bonus. Continue reading »
Second Empire – "Second Empire" EP (2013)
Independent Release
Review by Tony Cannella
It's good to see more and more symphonic metal coming from the U.S. lately. Pittsburgh's Second Empire is one such band – and a good one at that. They have just issued their debut self-titled EP and after listening, I have to say that this band has a lot to offer.
The keyboard intro kicks off the opening tune "Everlasting" as the rumbling guitars join in. Lead vocalist Alex Lindsay Roth has a cool mid-range voice. This song really takes off in different directions with a strong orchestral part and a great solo. The next track, "Hold Me ('Til We're Both Dead)" gets started with a piano intro before the song steadily picks up the tempo. Still, this is a great mid-tempo song and one with an undeniably catchy melody and chorus. Continue reading »
The Lust – "One Life Ago" & "Decomposition Deluxe" (2010/11)
Label: Wordlessness Records
Review by Tony Cannella
Hailing from Russia, The Lust plays Gothic Rock/Metal with a definite electronic/industrial edge. They formed in 2004 and that is the same year they released their debut album "Tangled". Since then they have continued to release albums at a productive pace and their newest album "Decomposition Deluxe" is also their fifth, so they have been busy since their formation but one year before the band has released "One Life Ago" that is a compilation album made up primarily of rare tracks and alternate versions of some of their older songs.
The first six songs on "One Life Ago" are made up of unreleased tracks. The self-titled song starts things and right away I notice that their earlier stuff has more of an electronic/industrial edge to it. Continue reading »
Never Trust – "Morning Light" (2013)
Independent Release
Review by Tony Cannella
When it comes to female fronted metal, the awesome country of Italy has produced some of the best. To this point it's been mostly symphonic, operatic, power metal (with a few exceptions). Well, the band Never Trust offers something a bit different to the mix. Their debut album, "Morning Light" has more of an edgy, punk-ish, alternative metal vibe.
The opening track "Fade Away"comes flying out the gate like a shot of adrenaline. For 11-songs and about 39-minutes, Never Trust maintains a consistent, straight-forward approach. The songs are aggressive yet still maintain a catchy, basic rock and roll vibe. "Worthless" is another powerful song. The third track, "Rebound" is a cool mid-tempo number which has a ready-for-radio vibe – and is therefore – one of the more accessible tracks we have here. Continue reading »
Flowing River – "Inner Strength" EP (2013)
Independent Release
Review by Tony Cannella
I first heard of Flowing River by way of their initial single "Poison Rose" back in 2010. At the time the band was located in Portugal, now – I guess – they have relocated to England. Whatever the case, there is not much info on the internet about this band. This is why I really wish bands would include a bio or something when sending in their stuff for review, so if I got any of the background on Flowing River wrong, I apologize, but next time please send a bio. Now, on to their debut EP "Inner Strength". As I mentioned earlier they have only previously released a one song single. With "Inner Strength" the band has released 20-minutes and 5-songs, so I feel this will probably be a better sampling of their style. And what is their style? I would say they band has a sort of dramatic, gothic vibe, not unlike say, Evanescence. Continue reading »

Edge of Thorns - Pt 10Part 10
I should really start looking into some anti-psychotics, but if I'm not as insane as I think I am, then the Devil himself is sitting on my living room sofa and I've agreed to help him.
It took a moment for Nathan to find his voice again. "I think I'll stick with you. I've already pissed Micah -- Michael... whoever, angel guy -- off. That last thing a need to do is make him think I can't make up my mind."
Alton laughed from across the room, pushing his glasses up the edge of his nose. "That's a good possibility." He pat the seat next to him. "Come on, Nathan. I promise I don't bite. You have more questions for me, don't you?"
"Yes, but they can just as easily be answered at this distance." Nathan still wasn't comfortable with the news that Alton was Lucifer, not so much because he believed him, but because Alton might believe himself. It didn't matter if Nathan was skeptical: if the shopkeeper truly thought he was the Devil, then he was going to act a
Edge of Thorns - Pt 7Part 7
There's no way I'm going to make another idiot mistake like running off without paying my bill. Alton is creepy enough as is. I don't need to give him a reason to be angry with me. What he doesn't know won't hurt me...
Nathan shook his head, not releasing Avery's hand until the teen lowered his head in defeat, making it clear that -- as much as he may have wanted to -- he wasn't going to open the door. With a sigh, he pressed his ear back against the door. Nathan rubbed the back of his head, moving next to Avery to join him. He could at least make that compromise.
"So what are you calling yourself these days, Lu?" The question came from the other voice, which Nathan just knew he'd heard before. "Something clever, no doubt."
The shopkeeper chuckled. "I don't think so. The name is Alton. Alton Sterling, and you have my adoptive father to praise for that. I prefer not to choose my own name, unlike you." His voice suddenly dropped, becoming serious and dark. "Th

About Windows Installer, the .NET Framework, and Visual Studio.
A few months ago we introduced a new method of delivering updates to Visual Studio 2012. Today we published updates in the same manner for Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidates.
You can download the July 2012 update (KB2703187) for VS2012 RC from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=257044. More information about this update is available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2703187.
As with Visual Studio 11 Beta, you will also be notified via Extension Manager. We did, however, make a change for RC to check for updates periodically. This will improve the end-to-end experience for VS updates.
As always, we'd love to hear your feedback. Should you have any problems installing the July 2012 Update for Visual Studio 2012 on RC (v11.0.50522.1) please download and run our log collection utility and visit our forum or file a bug on Microsoft Connect.
I want offline installer.
@Shashwat, you can download the small bootstrapper EXE, and on the command line pass /layout <path> to download everything and create an offline installer. Our data shows > 99.8% success rate for downloads when using /layout (failures are almost always persistent network glitches since we have a certain number of retries).
We are considering other options, but years of data show that ISOs (as an example) are often corrupted during download (common with larger files in general) and lead to bad installs and machine states, leading to further problems and time wasted getting back to a good machine state. I'll look at doing a post citing the rough failure rate for ISOs, but it's quite high.

ISU scores an A for volunteers, community service
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Indiana State University junior Rachel Mullinnix didn't do a lot of volunteer work in high school.
But once she started at ISU, many opportunities opened up and she took advantage of them. She participated in Donaghy Day, Martin Luther King Day of Service and Americorps, in which she earned an education award in exchange for her work with a nonprofit.
"It got me involved in the Terre Haute community and it just lit me on fire," the Ellettsville native told the Tribune-Star. "I absolutely loved it."
It also helped her decide on her career path. She aspires to be a nonprofit marketing director.
In recent years, ISU has placed a major emphasis on community service and volunteerism, and now, those efforts are being recognized in a big way.
ISU is ranked No. 1 in the country when it comes to community service, according to the 2013 Washington Monthly College Guide.
The guide places ISU at the top of its list of 281 national universities in the category of community service participation and hours worked by students, faculty and staff.
ISU is ranked No. 2 in the level of university support for service learning. Last year's rankings placed Indiana State third in both categories.
"It's a proud day to be a Sycamore," ISU President Dan Bradley said during a news conference at Ryves Youth Center.
Community service "is a core component of our strategic plan and everything that we do," Bradley said. "It is embedded in our teaching, our co-curricular activities and our employee benefits and recognition."
He went on to say, "There is an expectation that if you are a Sycamore, you will be involved in community service."
Bradley credited the leadership of Nancy Rogers, associate vice president for community engagement and experiential learning, and the work of her staff in the Center for Community Engagement.
The Washington Monthly ranking "is a testament to the hard work of countless Indiana State faculty, staff and students and some tremendous community partners," Rogers said. "The hands-on learning opportunities that our community partners help provide make our students better citizens and future professionals."
The impact of the students' service makes a real difference in the community, she said.
The news conference took place at Ryves Youth Center, one of dozens of locations where students and employees volunteer.
Through the years, thousands of ISU students have worked with the children at Ryves by providing tutoring, playing games, mentoring and serving as positive role models, said Jim Edwards, Ryves Youth Center director.
He's also seen how ISU increasingly has emphasized the importance of community involvement, "changing the face of what education is at the university," he said.
Edwards said the center "is looking forward to a continued partnership with ISU. They are a fantastic partner. Without them, we'd really find it difficult to survive."
Bradley hopes the ranking, and national recognition, will help recruit students, employees and donor support. He also hopes it will show legislators and policy makers "we are doing a great job and deserve their support."
Most importantly, he said, "It's great to know that Indiana State is making an impact on our community and that our students are learning how to be productive citizens."
ISU is in the top 10 percent nationally (No. 25) in the overall rankings by Washington Monthly, a bimonthly nonprofit magazine that focuses on U.S. politics and government. The rankings also take into account research and social mobility — recruiting and graduating low-income students.
"Instead of lauding colleges for closing their doors to all but an elite few, we give high marks to institutions that enroll low-income students, help them graduate and don't charge them an arm and a leg to attend," Washington Monthly's editors wrote in the September/October issue. "We recognize institutions that are committed to public service, both in the way they teach and in encouraging students to enter service-focused careers. . Our rankings aim to identify institutions that are acting on behalf of the true public interest."
In 2012-13, students, faculty and staff at ISU provided an estimated 1.2 million hours of community service, with a total value of $8 million, and the university served 115 community partners, according to the annual report of the university's Center for Community Engagement.
The university engaged in a year-round partnership with several not-for-profit organizations in Terre Haute's Ryves Neighborhood, including Ryves Youth Center at Etling Hall, St. Ann Clinic, Bethany House and Catholic Charities of Terre Haute. The partnership included mini-grants from the Center for Community Engagement for faculty to develop service learning projects in the neighborhood.
Other significant partnerships during the year included:
— A partnership between the Wounded Warrior Project and the department of kinesiology, recreation and sport to assist injured service members via a daylong retreat at the Sycamore Outdoor Center (formerly the Indiana State University Field Campus).
— Completion of the university's second Habitat for Humanity House.
— Sycamore Readers, in which tutors from the university provide free help for struggling elementary school readers in Vigo County.

When all is said and done more is said than done.
Since you didn't make the poll results public, I think we all know who voted for "Sir Albert".
I voted Beltran. I think it is a toss up between him and Pujols right now.
He's on a lousy team, but I think Lance Berkman is the best player in the NL. I would love to have him on first base in Cincy.
Who's on first?
No one scares pitchers/managers/coaches/wives/kids more than Albert Pujols. No one...
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
As much as I can't stand him, I have to pick Pujols
Reds record while I was in attendance in 2006: 7-2
Reds record while I was in attendance in 2007: 2-0
Reds record while I'm in attendance in 2008: 0-1
"I wish the stadium was filled up every night." - Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati Enquirer - February 9, 2007
Beltran is having a g reat season and I would love to have him on the team. But Pujols is an absolute freak and I can't vote for Beltran given a 100 point OPS difference. And as good as Beltran is defensively, Pujols is probably the best defensive 1B in the NL too.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Howard isn't even having the best season on the Phillies. That honor belongs to Chase Utley. I would vote Utley over Howard for MVP of the NL.
I'd have to disagree.Originally Posted by Highlifeman21
Howard: .997 Utley: .918
HR: Howard: 43 Utley: 22
RBI: Howard 112 Utley: 78
The only stats that Utler has an advantage in are 2B, RS, and BA.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
RBI are teammate dependent. Howard only edges Utley in OPS due to 21 more HR vs. Utley's 19 more 2B.Originally Posted by dabvu2498
The OBP is a wash, Utley's .385 to Howard's .383.
IIRC, Utley was leading the league in hits, which should count for something. Granted, his OBP is BA driven, but Utley sports a better K:BB ratio.
For as great as Ryan Howard is, and he is, he only has a slight edge in TB, 281 to 268.
You also have to taken into account positional difference. 2B vs 1B. Give me a 2B with Utley's numbers anyday of the week, twice on Sundays.
I voted Pujols. His team lineup is awful. I know they did alright without him earlier in the year I think? But without him in the lineup, I would face them any day.
Beltran by a hair over Pujols.
"I saw Wedding Crashers accidentally. I bought a ticket for Grizzly Man and went into the wrong theater. After an hour, I figured I was in the wrong theater, but I kept waiting. Thats the thing about bear attacks. They come when you least expect it."-Dwight K. Schrute
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
Beltran also. Premium position and great defense/speed/power combo.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.

Big 10 Network to expose Nankivil's hidden talent
Madison - Wisconsin basketball fans probably will want to turn on the Big Ten Network on Sunday.
UW (21-6, 11-4) hosts Northwestern (16-11, 6-10) at 5 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.
Immediately following the conclusion of that game fans can see the latest episode of "The Journey."
UW senior Keaton Nankivil will be one of the players featured, along with Aaron Craft of Ohio State and Darius Morris of Michigan.
Fans will be treated to behind-the-scenes video and I'm told Nankivil is quite handy with balloons.

I was prepared for the uncomfortable feeling of the suction, but I must say, it does actually hurt. Not unbearable, but I liken it very much to the pain of getting a mammogram, when they smash your breast between the plates. It does... more
"Just had my abdomen done"
I had my abdomen done yesterday afternoon, I am 5' 6" and 130 pounds, I'm athletic and in good shape, just have a bit of belly fat from having kids. I initially wanted the upper and lower regions done and the nurse had me marked to do both, however after she did the first treatment, we noticed that it actually worked SO well that it pulled in the upper region of my belly as well... more
"CoolSculpting on Love Handles Sept 1..."
Why CoolSculpting? I had a TT on June 23rd. The front of my new belly looks amazing, however I thought the lypo involved with a TT would get rid of the love handles. Not so, my expectations were out of line .. either b/c my PS didn't fully explain this when I asked or I didn't hear it right? Either way, I still have love handles, which has always been the worst part of me! I don't... more

iPhone 5: Would you prefer a smaller dock connector?
Those countless 30-pin chargers piling up in your home may not be compatible with the next generation iPhone.
The classic Apple 30-pin connector, for some reason, has survived for a very long time. Some may even think it's past its prime. Why hasn't Apple, the genius computer company, come up with something better than its trusty 30-pin connector?
Something new could be on its way.
Rumors continue to pile up about the next-generation iPhone ditching that classic connector for something smaller. Something that would just be used to charge the phone.
iMore has reported many rumors from their secret sources about the new dock. They even included some top-secret photos.
I don't have any secret sources, I just like reading the rumors. But let's talk about this rumored "micro-dock."
Apple has a few priorities right now: A new iPhone is one of those, but I think iOS 6 and iCloud are higher on the list. MobileMe was complete catastrophe, but iCloud is getting better. I don't think it's quite there yet, but it's getting better.
I can't remember the last time I've plugged my iPhone into my iMac to sync or update it. I used to all the time — especially when I bought new music on my iPhone and wanted to transfer it and back it up. With iCloud, I simply purchase and it's automatically into my iTunes.
The same goes for software updates. After feverishly waiting for a software update, I'd plug my iPhone in and wait (a really long time) for it to fully update. This past week, I updated to iOS 5.01 at work, over the air.
The 30-pin connector was designed to not only charge, but also sync data. iCloud solves the syncing part, so now we only need the charging part.
I'm all in favor of ditching the 30-pin, but it could be pricey replacing my chargers. Maybe I should kickstart a project for a 30-pin to micro-dock adaptor.

I am a single developer just getting started with open source web dev (Python/Django). I signed up for a free Assembla.com account but I really don't know whether to use Trac ticketing or Assembla integrated ticketing. I have setup spaces for both to try them out, but it seems like I would need to use them for a while before I saw clear benefits either way.
As I am just starting out, I'm just working on small projects, e.g. the Django tutorial, etc.
Do you have recommendations of Trac vs. Assembla ticketing? And yes, I have Googled this without any helpful results.

YIELD: Serves 8 as an hors d'oeuvre
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Brush both sides of tortillas with oil and with scissors cut each tortilla into about 5 randomly shaped wavy strips. In 2 large shallow baking pans arrange half of strips in one layer. (Strips should curl up on their own, but if necessary gently twist or fold them over.)
In a small bowl combine chili powder, salt, and sugar and through a small sieve sprinkle half of mixture over tortilla strips in pans. Bake tortilla strips in upper and lower thirds of oven until just crisp, 6 to 8 minutes, and transfer to paper towels to cool. Make more chips in same manner with remaining tortilla strips and chili mixture.

Warm Helmet
I used this helmet for the first time on a backcountry snowmobile trip outside of Vail when it was about 10 degrees outside. I never got cold, and it was great to listen to the iPod. They aren't the best headphones for audiophiles, but I didn't really want to drown all the sound out with tunes anyway.

Islamic State, the Sunni militant group which seeks to establish a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, released a video on Tuesday that gave the strongest indication yet it might attempt to strike American targets.
The video with the theme "breaking of the American cross" boasts Islamic State will emerge victorious over "crusader" America. It follows a video posted on Monday warning of attacks on American targets if Washington struck against its fighters in Iraq and Syria.
The latest footage speaks of a holy war between the al-Qaeda offshoot and the United States, which occupied Iraq for nearly a dacade and faced stiff resistance from al Qaeda.
Islamic State's sweep through northern Iraq, bringing it close to Baghdad and in control of the second city, Mosul, drew U.S. airstrikes on the country for the first time since the end of the American occupation in 2011.
The video showed footage of President Barack Obama as well as strategic U.S. ally King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and attacks on American soldiers.

i got a compile error which i do not understand. i have a h/cpp file combination that does not contain a class but just defines some utility functions. when i try to use a struct that is defined in another class i get the error:
error C2027: use of undefined type 'B::C'
so, stripped down to the problem, the h-file looks like this
namespace A {
void foo(B::C::SStruct const & Var);
the definition of SStruct is in a class which is in another h-file, that is of course included.
namespace B {
class C {
struct SStruct { };
the strange thing is, i can use this struct in other classes fine, it just seems to be related to this one h-file which contains just utility functions. what am i missing here? thanks!

Critical Essay by Helene Keyssar
SOURCE: "Drama and the Dialogic Imagination: 'The Heidi Chronicles' and 'Fefu and Her Friends'," in Modern Drama, Vol. XXXIV, No. 1, March, 1991, pp. 88-106.
In the following excerpt, Keyssar expresses her disappointment with the tremendous success of The Heidi Chronicles. She contends that, according to Mikhail Bakhtin's definition of meaningful theater, in which drama is "simultaneously entire unto itself and part of the whole culture," The Heidi Chronicles is "aggressively monologic" and "self-contained," thus alienating large segments of society.
The Heidi Chronicles was first workshopped in April 1988 by the Seattle Repertory Theatre; on 12 December 1988 it opened at Playwrights Horizons in New York City; three months later, it transferred to the Plymouth Theatre on Broadway, where it quickly became one of the major hits of the season. Awards have poured down upon the play and its author: in addition to the Pulitzer Prize for drama and the Tony for best play of the season, The Heidi Chronicles won the Susan Smith Blackburn prize (a prize specifically meant to recognize outstanding work by women playwrights) and the Dramatists Guild Hull Warriner award which selects "the best American play dealing with contemporary political, religious or social mores." While my experience as a spectator is that audiences take the play lightly—they laugh, giggle and chat briefly after the performance about their own experiences growing up from the sixties to the eighties, experiences that the play recalls—both the wealth of awards and the passionately mixed reviews it provoked suggest that The Heidi Chronicles commands serious attention.
Working with the same kinds of characters she has created in previous dramas (Uncommon Women and Others; Isn't It Romantic), Wasserstein takes us along for the ride on a twenty-five year journey from adolescence to adulthood of two men and a woman, all bright, upper-middle-class people who begin to come to consciousness in the mid-sixties. (Heidi's friend, Susan, also makes the journey, but she is always a foil or adjunct to the affairs of the central three characters.) Heidi, who becomes an art historian, is ostensibly the protagonist of the drama (she appears in each of the play's eleven scenes and two prologues), although she is often dominated, dramatically and politically, by the two men in her life: Peter Patrone, a caring, intelligent man who becomes "a liberal homosexual pediatrician"; and Scoop Rosenbaum, already an aggressive entrepreneur at nineteen who rises to become editor of Boomer magazine.
In a series of eleven "anecdotes," these characters repeatedly re-encounter each other, at each instance addressing the vicissitudes of their own lives in the context of the changing values and mores of their society. None of these three main characters ever changes, but the play does build towards and away from two quasi-recognition scenes. In the first of these (Act Two, Scene 4), Heidi loses control of the keynote address she is delivering to a luncheon gathering at the Plaza Hotel and rambles towards a conclusion in which she confesses to the audience that she is "just not happy," that she feels "stranded" and disillusioned because she thought that the whole point of the women's movement "was that we were all in this together." In the next scene, Heidi visits Peter at a children's hospital ward on Christmas Eve, and Peter reveals that he, the most prominent pediatrician in New York City, is living in an increasingly narrow world because so many of his friends are dying of AIDS. He confesses to Heidi that he is hurt because she does not understand him and is not authentically there for him as a friend. She immediately responds that she could "become someone else next year." The two briefly transcend their differences and embrace, but if there is recognition of self or other here, some traditional movement from ignorance to knowledge, the moment is explicitly presented as transitory and private. Heidi's offer to "become someone else" is not a step towards a transformation of self but more like a proposal to wear a different dress tomorrow. Heidi neither knows what it means to "become someone else" nor does she know what kind of person she would will herself to become. Her offer to "become someone else next year" would be a good laugh line—even, perhaps, a parody of a dramatic transformation—were it not uttered in the context of Peter's suffering.
Gender—its roles and consciousnesses—provides the thematic thread that links the episodes in the twenty-five-year time line of The Heidi Chronicles. Since there is neither beauty in the language nor surprise in the events or characters of this play, I can only surmise that it is the topical interest in gender issues that has called forth so much critical attention, both positive and negative. Those who praised The Heidi Chronicles found it to be "enlightening" (Mel Gussow, The New York Times), "wise" (Howard Kissel, The Daily News), and "important" (Linda Winer, Newsday) in its depiction of feminism and feminists, and of men's and women's relations to each other. Negative commentary on the play, most thoroughly and bitingly presented in a long piece by Phyllis Jane Rose in American Theatre [October 1989], also focused on gender issues. "The absence from the stage of images of women acting on their own beliefs in truth, beauty or justice implies that women do not act in this way in the world," writes Rose in her letter to Heidi. "Or, if they do," Rose continues, "it is not important enough to be dramatized. In your Chronicles, your struggle for women artists, your professed dedication to content over form, are secondary to your relationships with men. Your intelligence becomes wit in their presence. Your imagination settles for fantasy."
The Heidi Chronicles is all that, or worse than, Rose contends. And here [Mikhail] Bakhtin comes to my aid in understanding why I find this drama—and its mostly celebratory public reception—so disturbing. It is precisely because this drama does not re-present the heteroglossia of the world, precisely because it is aggressively monologic, self-contained, a seemingly perfect picture without loop-holes of a particular historic moment that is so pleasing to some and distressing to others. Heidi does an adequate job of recuperating women artists, but even when she speaks of her subjects it is in the monologic discourse of professional academia. On the one occasion—a television talk show—where Heidi is explicitly positioned to speak her own different voice, she is silenced by the voices of two men, Scoop and Peter, her old friends who also appear on the show. Afterwards she is angry, but even in her anger we are given no sense of what her own voice might sound like. And if we are meant to see this scene as a dramatization of difference as absence, as an assault on patriarchical monology, such a vision is quickly undercut by the subsequent scene, a meeting among Heidi and her women friends, where the women's talk and ideologies are indistinguishable from that of Scoop and Peter. Heidi only briefly finds an alternative voice during her rambling speech at the women's luncheon, and that utterance is inaccessible because it is framed as the self-pitying ramblings of a woman in the process of a nervous breakdown.
The characters in The Heidi Chronicles neither acknowledge each other as other—indeed, their persistent attempt is to be like each other—nor do they, to use once more a Bakhtinian term, "interanimate" each other. The world they comprise is coherent, consistent and stable, despite superficial changes from involvement in leftish politics and the women's movement to a kind of mushy humanism. Reaction is not revolution, as Rose urges, quoting Laurie Stone, and the world of The Heidi Chronicles is adamantly one of reaction, not revolution or change. When we meet Heidi for the last time, with her newly-adopted baby, she is "waiting" for something, perhaps for a new world and new generation in which her baby daughter's voice will be different and will be heard. Her world is not provocatively open, unfinalized; Heidi and her baby are just sitting there rocking, bathed in the nostalgia of an old fifties song. As my twelve-year-old daughter commented immediately after seeing the production, the play could have ended at any of several of its last few scenes. Had it done so, it would not have made any difference—to those on stage or in the audience.
In "Discourse in the Novel," an essay that is central to Bakhtin's reflections, Bakhtin urges that this "verbalideological decentering will occur only when a national culture loses its sealed-off and self-sufficient character, when it becomes conscious of itself as only one among other cultures and languages" [The Dialogic Imagination]. In its refusal of such a "decentering," The Heidi Chronicles reveals a national culture that remains "sealed-off," "authoritarian," "rigid" and unconscious of itself as only one among other cultures and languages. And it does so to a dangerous degree. There is no place in the world of this drama for the voices of women and men who can speak the discourses of feminism; there is no room in this drama for the poor, the marginalized, the inarticulate, for those who are not successes in the terms of the eighties, for those who wish to transform and not react. If this is what drama today is at its best, then it is less than that which Bakhtin claimed it to be initially.

A tool that lowers the temperature of the heart during surgery or other times when blood flow to the heart is cut off. The tool has the appearance of a spoon and includes an elongate handle part and a heart-cradling part at the end of the handle. A first passageway formed in the handle delivers a continuous flow of cold liquid to the rim of the heart-cradling part of the tool and the cold liquid flows continuously out of perforations formed about the rim of that part of the tool for as long as refrigeration is needed. The tool is made of an uninsulated material so that the heart is cooled as the cold liquid flows out of the perforations and manifold is connected to the bottom wall of the heart-cradling part of the spoon and those apertures are in fluid communication, through a second passageway formed in the handle, with a source of negative pressure so that cold liquid that collects in the thoracic cavity below the heart of a supine patient is removed by connecting the second passageway to the source of negative pressure.
1. A tool having utility in chilling a heart when blood flow to the heart is interrupted, comprising:
an elongate handle member having a proximal end and a distal end;
a heart-cradling means having a proximal end connected to the distal end of said handle member;
a first passageway formed within said handle member, extending from the proximal end of the handle member to the distal end thereof;
a looped passageway formed in said heart-cradling means about a rim part thereof, said looped passageway being in open fluid communication with said first passageway;
a plurality of perforations formed in said looped passageway so that a liquid fluid flowing through said looped passageway seeps through said perforations;
a manifold member connected to a bottom side of said heart-cradling means in depending relation thereto;
a second passageway formed within said handle member, extending from said proximal end of said handle member to said distal end thereof;
at least one aperture formed in said manifold member, and said at least one aperture being in open fluid communication with said second passageway;
whereby said first passageway is adapted to be connected to a source of chilled liquid fluid under pressure to deliver said chilled fluid in a continuous flow to said looped passageway and hence to a heart cradled by said heart-cradling means; and
whereby said second passageway is adapted to be connected to a source of negative pressure for aspirating liquid fluid collected in a puddle in the vicinity of said heart-cradling means into said second passageway means through said at least one aperture.
2. The tool of claim 1, wherein said manifold member has a linear configuration and wherein said at least one aperture formed therein includes a plurality of apertures formed in said manifold member along the extent thereof.
3. The tool of claim 2, wherein said plurality of perforations are equidistantly spaced about the periphery of said rim and adapted to provide even refrigeration of said heart.
4. The tool of claim 3, wherein said tool is made of silicone.
5. The tool of claim 4, further comprising a stiffening rod member embedded within said handle member to facilitate manipulation of the tool.
6. The tool of claim 5, wherein said stiffening rod member is formed of aluminum.
7. The tool of claim 6, further comprising valve means for regulating the flow of liquid fluid through said first and second passageways.
This invention relates, generally, to tools having utility to the medical profession. More particularly, it relates to a surgical tool used to refrigerate cardiac muscle during time periods where flow of blood to the heart is interrupted.
To prepare a patient for open heart surgery, blood flowing to the patient's heart is diverted to a heart and lung machine that mechanically performs the functions of the heart and lungs during the surgical procedure. Thus deprived of its usual supply of oxygenated blood, heart muscle begins to deteriorate. Accordingly, recognizing the preservative effects of refrigeration, physicians began the practice of placing ice packs around the heart during surgery. The use of ice packs does produce some beneficial effect, but such use is somewhat unsatisfactory due to the physical limitations of ice packs. More particularly, they can not be positioned easily under the heart of a supine patient, they do not contact all of the walls of the heart and thus create warm pockets where muscle deterioration is not adequately curtailed, and they melt and require replacement which interferes with the physician's work. Moreover, the melted ice collects in a puddle below the heart, in the thoracic cavity, thereby affecting the lungs and possibly precipitating the onset of pulmonary problems or other complications; even the removal of such puddles during surgery creates an additional set of problems. Ice packs are also bulky and thus limit the surgeon's freedom of movement. Perhaps even more significantly, the ice packs cool everything with which they come into contact, i.e., they cool the thoracic cavity and thus the body in general, i.e., the cooling effect provided by ice packs is not localized. Surgical personnel who have worked with ice packs during surgery could point out even more drawbacks.
The heart of a supine patient is supported primarily by the walls of the thoracic cavity, and such walls are at normal body temperature. Thus, the very place where ice packs are least effective is the very place where heart cooling is most needed. There is a need, therefore, for a device that can be easily slipped under the heart of a supine patient to isolate the heart from the walls of the thoracic cavity. There is a need, further, for a device that cools the heart evenly, i.e., in the absence of pockets of uncooled areas. Moreover, there is a need for a device that removes any puddles of coolant that may collect in the thoracic cavity if such puddles become too large and threaten to overly cool said cavity and hence the patient's lungs. The needed device should be easy to manipulate and easy to operate as well.
A number of inventors have tried to develop the needed device, and some of the resulting surgical tools represent improvements over the ice pack method.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,259,961 to Hood shows a plastic cooling is placed under the heart, but the device is structurally complex and difficult to maneuver during surgery. Additional U.S. patents of interest, all of which, like Hood, advanced the art to which they pertained, include U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,154,245 to Daily, 4,971,056 to Seacord, 4,416,281 to Cooper et. al., and 4,327,733 to Gallie. British patent 2,040,169, may also be of interest.
When the respective disclosures of these patents and many others are studied, together with the vast non-patent literature on the subject of heart refrigeration or myocardial hypothermia during surgery, those of ordinary skill in the industry that supplies tools to the medical profession are left with the firm conviction that the art has reached its highest level of development and that further significant progress in this field is unlikely.
A spoon-like device that slips easily under the heart of a supine patient has an elongate handle that facilitates its manipulation during surgery. The distal end of the device cradles the patient's heart and evenly cools all contacted areas thereof, plus contiguous areas. Two elongate bores or passageways are formed in the handle but said passageways are not directly interconnected to one another. A first passageway or inlet extends from the proximal end of the handle and encircles the rim of the heart-cradling part of the device. Multiple perforations are formed in that part of the first passageway that circumscribes the rim, and chilled saline solution, or other suitable chilled solution, pumped into the first passageway thus flows out of the perforations and cools the heart. Some of the solution may flow directly onto the heart and downwardly to the bottom of the heart-cradling means, but since the heart conforms to the shape of the cradling means and substantially fully occupies it, such flow is nominal. Most of the chilled saline flows downwardly on the outside of the cradling means, but the tool is made of a material having a high heat transfer coefficient, i.e., a non-insulating material so that the temperature-lowering quality of the chilled saline solution acts to refrigerate heart muscle as desired. Accordingly, a puddle of saline solution forms in the thoracic cavity in the vicinity of the heart-cradling part of the spoon. The novel device includes means for eliminating the puddle entirely if desired or regulating the size of the puddle to any desired volume. Specifically, the underside of the cradling means includes a downwardly projecting manifold having plural apertures formed therein along its extent, and those apertures are in fluid communication with a second passageway means that is formed in the handle of the spoon as mentioned earlier. The second passageway or outlet is in fluid communication with a source of negative pressure, and means are provided to regulate the amount of suction applied to the apertures. In this way, saline solution collected in a puddle in the thoracic cavity is aspirated into the second passageway and thus removed at any desired rate. Importantly, the first and second passageways are individually formed as aforesaid, thereby ensuring that short circuiting cannot occur, i.e., the saline solution cannot flow from the first passageway into the second in a way that bypasses the heart-cradling part of the spoon.
The structural simplicity of the device provides minimum interference with the surgeon's activities, and its elongate handle eases the task of surgical assistants.
Silicone is the preferred material from which the device is made, for several reasons. For example, silicone is inert, i.e., non-reactive to the human body. Moreover, since silicone is easily molded, the device can be mass produced at low unit cost. The flexibility of silicone also allows the heart-cradling part of the device to conform to the shape of the thoracic cavity.
It is therefore understood that a general but important object of this invention is to materially advance the art of tools that refrigerate heart tissue during surgery.
Another important object is to provide a tool that provides a localized cooling effect so that areas of the body that do not require cooling are substantially unaffected when the heart is refrigerated.
Still further objects are to provide a tool that is easy to manipulate so that it can be moved from one area to another, that does not interfere with the surgeon's freedom of movement, and that conforms to the shape of the thoracic cavity.
These and additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent as this description proceeds.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts that will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the novel heart spoon;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof; and
FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view taken along line 3--3 in FIG. 2.
Referring now to FIG. 1, it will there be seen that an exemplary embodiment of the invention is denoted as a whole by the reference numeral 10.
Heart spoon 10 includes elongate handle 12 and heart-cradling part 14 integral therewith. The proximal end of the handle is denoted 16 and the distal end thereof is denoted 18. The proximal end of the heart-cradling part 14 is denoted 20 and the distal end of said part is denoted 22.
Cradling part 14 has an oblong configuration to conform to the shape of a human heart; it serves to cradle a heart under which it is inserted and to thereby separate the heart from physical contact with the walls of the thoracic cavity.
As perhaps best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, first or inlet passageway 24 is formed in handle 12 and extends from proximal end 16 thereof to the distal end 18 thereof. Said passageway then continues around the rim 26 of cradling part 14 as depicted, i.e., looped passageway 28 and first passageway 24 are the same passageway but are separately identified to better explain the structural aspects of the invention.
Plural perforations, collectively denoted 30, are formed in looped passageway 28 at equidistantly spaced intervals along the extent thereof to evenly chill the heart. Accordingly, chilled saline solution pumped into first passageway 24 under pressure seeps from said perforations 30 and flows upwardly to the rim, over the rim, and downwardly along the external walls 32 (FIG. 1) of the cradling part 14 as indicated by directional arrows 34. A source of chilled saline solution is readily available in all well-equipped operating rooms; it should be understood that the temperature of the solution is under the control of the physician and that the solution flows through the spoon as long as is needed. Since silicone is heat-conductive, the heart is thereby chilled. Small amounts of chilled saline will seep onto the heart itself, as desired, and some small amount may also seep into the bottom of the heat-cradling part, thereby chilling the heart as desired, as indicated by directional arrows 35 in FIGS. 2 and 3.
However, most of the chilled saline solution will flow down the external walls of the heart-cradling part as aforesaid, and will collect in a puddle around the bottom of said part; this puddle of chilled saline solution, if maintained at an optimal volume, can beneficially chill the heart where chilling is most needed, i.e., where the warm thoracic cavity is nearest the heart. However, over-chilling is not desirable, because such might lead to pulmonary problems.
Therefore, the invention includes novel means for draining the puddle or regulating its volume. A manifold member 36 of linear configuration is formed integrally with the bottom wall 38 of part 14, as perhaps best shown in FIG. 3, in depending relation to said bottom wall 38. Plural apertures, collectively denoted 40, are formed in said manifold at equidistantly spaced intervals and said apertures are in fluid communication with second or outlet fluid passageway 42. Passageway 42 is in fluid communication with a source of negative pressure, not shown, through a cannula, not shown. Thus, by properly regulating the amount of vacuum within second passageway 42, the chilled saline solution in the puddle is aspirated from the thoracic cavity at a preselected rate, as indicated by directional arrows 41 in FIG. 3. A simple pinch clamp carried by the cannula may be employed to regulate the vacuum in passageway 42. A similar pinch clamp or other suitable valve means may also be used to regulate the flow rate of saline solution through a cannula in fluid communication with first passageway 24 and hence around loop 28 as well.
Inlet passageway 24 and outlet passageway 42 extend into extension conduits 25 and 43, respectively, formed at the proximal end 16 of the heart spoon 10. These extension conduits facilitate connection of the cannulas, not shown, to said passageways.
The reference numeral 50 indicates a stiffening rod embedded within handle member 12 that performs the function its name implies. In a preferred embodiment, rod 50 is of aluminum construction; it is easily bent to conform to the nooks and crannies of the thoracic cavity. Rod 50 provides a means for easy repositioning of the heart-cradling member 14 while the surgeon performs surgery.
This invention is clearly new and useful. Moreover, it was not obvious to those of ordinary skill in this art at the time it was made, in view of the prior art considered as a whole in accordance with the requirements of law.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, and those made apparent from the foregoing description, are efficiently attained and since certain changes can be made in the above description without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matters contained in the foregoing description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.
