Red Wings-Jets quick take: dumb hockey against a determined team spoils heroic Howard's effort
by George Malik on 11/04/13 at 11:54 PM ET
Comments (10)
I'm angry. The Red Wings had to come into this game knowing that they were tired--4 games in 6 nights, their second slate of 3 in 4--and they had to come into this game knowing that the Jets were going to be furious coming off a 5-1 loss to Chicago on Saturday.
Instead of attacking the puck, however, Jordin Tootoo and Chris Thorburn engaged in what was nothing less than the epitome of a staged fight, and the Wings' brains went out the window. With Adam Almquist over his head physically and the team's defense very visibly tired, and Kyle Quincey as error-prone as usual, the Wings' players somehow decided that they would chase the puck all night long, and they absolutely left their goaltender out to dry as a result.
The Jets earned their 4-2 victory, but it is an utter shame that the skaters in front of Jimmy Howard couldn't give a goaltender who stopped 42 shots some *#$%@& run support.

Daniel Alfredsson tells the Globe and Mail's Roy MacGregor that life as a Red Wing is 'good'

Well, I guess the Globe and Mail has determined that Monday's Red Wings day, as the boss suggested, because Eric Duhatschek had a chat with Henrik Zetterberg, and the Globe and Mail's Ottawa-based "Canadiana" reporter, checked in with the man Jets fans have chosen to boo tonight.
MacGregor spoke with Daniel Alfredsson regarding his acclimation to Detroit, and Alfredsson, who's registered 3 goals and 10 assists thus far, says that he's doing okay--as the captain also suggests:
"He's a good fit for our team," Zetterberg says. "He's just been around for such a long time. He moves well. He sees the ice well. He's got a great shot."
And, in turn, Alfredsson and his family (wife Bibi, chidlren Hugo, Loui, Fenix and William Erik) have embraced their new home in suburban Birmingham, Mich. Hugo, 10, is playing with the prestigious Little Caesars hockey club.

Duhatschek: Zetterberg, in-progress Red Wings believe move East will help…eventually
by George Malik on 11/04/13 at 09:01 PM ET

Red Wings fans will tell you that the Wings' 9-4-and-2 record indicates some significant progress still needing to be made by both individuals and the team as a whole.
The Globe and Mail's Eric Duhatschek notes that thenow-Eastern-Conference-dwelling Wings have played half of their games against the Western Conference thus far (tonight's game will mark the 8th of 16).The Wings already made a road swing to Denver and Phoenix, and they're wrapping up their Western Canadian swing in Winnipeg tonight...
But the Wings make only one more Western swing during the regular season--going to Dallas, San Jose, Los Angeles, Anaheim, and then making a country-criss-crossing trip to tangle with the Rangers right after the Winter Classic.
While Wings fans will tell you that the team arguably has much more work to do in terms of learning how to defeat its new conference and Atlantic Division opponents on a regular basis, both the Wings and their currently bleary-eyed fans agree that the team's conference swap will pay dividends down the line, as Henrik Zetterberg told Duhatschek:

Griffins confirm that they've sent Frk to Toledo, recall big Nedomlel in Almquist's absence
by George Malik on 11/04/13 at 04:59 PM ET
Comments (4)
As the Wings-Jets game-day post, which has been updated 15 times, slides off the main page...Martin Frk Tweeted that he was heading to Toledo earlier today, and RedWingsFeed found that the Grand Rapids Griffins have both confirmed that Frk is heading down to play a few games for the ECHL's Toledo Walleye, and as Brendan Smith's on Red Wings' IR for 1-2 weeks, yielding Adam Almquist likely staying in Detroit until the middle of the month, the Griffins chose to recall a defenseman from Toledo.
Their pick is intriguing, because Almquist was the Griffins' leading scorer on defense despite his smallish 5'10," 174-lb listed size (he's more like a Rafalski-ish 5'9," and he may really weigh about 165), and the player the Griffins recalled is both the polar opposite of Almquist in terms of playing style and size:
The Detroit Red Wings on Monday reassigned defenseman Richard Nedomlel to the Grand Rapids Griffins from the ECHL's Toledo Walleye and reassigned right wing Martin Frk to the Walleye from the Griffins.
Nedomlel, 20, returns to the Griffins after skating in four games with the Walleye, producing two points (1-1—2), two shots on goal and 18 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-5, 231-pound defenseman recorded his first professional point on Oct. 30 with a goal in Toledo's 4-3 loss to the Cincinnati Cyclones. He has yet to appear in a game for Grand Rapids this season.
Frk, 20, has appeared in six contests with Grand Rapids, yielding six penalty minutes. Originally drafted by Detroit in the second round (49th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, Frk spent the past three seasons with the Halifax Mooseheads in the QMJHL.
The Griffins will take on the Rockford IceHogs at Van Andel Arena on Wednesday at 11 a.m. for their 13th annual matinee game, when Nedomlel will be available to play.

Red Wings prospect news: on Frk heading to Toledo and Jensen's recovery from shoulder surgery
by George Malik on 11/04/13 at 01:39 PM ET
Comments (2)
The Red Wings and Grand Rapids Griffins haven't made this official, but it appears that the team's chosen to assign first-year pro and still-top-prospect Martin Frk to the ECHL's Toledo Walleye. Frk hasn't registered a point and is a -3 over the course of 6 games played for Grand Rapids, and Frk himself Tweeted a photo suggesting that he's driving to Toledo today:
Petr Mrazek spent time in the ECHL and it didn't hurt him, so this move makes sense from a, "Give the guy some confidence" point of view. It's not surprising, either, given that Frk's learning that life without Jonathan Drouin or Nathan MacKinnon as his linemates is a little more difficult when one's turning pro...

Cotsonika pens a pair of stories about Red Wings exec and soon-to-be HHOF'er Chris Chelios
by George Malik on 11/04/13 at 12:04 PM ET
Comments (1)
Former Red Wings Brendan Shanahan and Chris Chelios will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame a week from today. Yahoo Sports' Nicholas J. Cotsonika (via RedWingsFeed) penned a pair of must-read stories about Chelios, who very literally went on a road trip with Chelios as the Wings exec headed to Grand Rapids to help mentor the Griffins' defensemen:
Last week he let Yahoo Sports come along for the ride as he went to see the Wings' American Hockey League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins. Some of the interview told the incredible story of his playing career. Some of it is here in edited Q&A form. We could go on forever, but we won't. He is going to write a book.
Could you still play?
"Could I play eight or 10 minutes a night on a good team like the Wings? Maybe. But no. I always said it was going to be a physical thing why I couldn't play, and towards the end of my career I couldn't train because of my left knee. That's what really limited me. I couldn't do the heavy workload in the gym to get to the level I always was at. So basically, to answer your question, no, I couldn't have kept playing.
"I don't skate a whole lot. I'm on the ice pushing pucks and blowing whistles. When I do skate hard in practice, I feel it for the next day or two, but it goes away. For the Winter Classic [alumni event], I was thinking of skating, getting in shape, working real hard with [former Wings center] Kris Draper and his crew. But for me, it's better just to do things that don't hurt and get my conditioning. I'm not going to skate, because I think if I did, it would be killing me by the time the game rolls around.
"I think Drapes is still working out harder than anybody that I've ever seen after they're done in hockey. He trains hard. He didn't play until he was 48, either. If he's doing that when he's 48, I'll be surprised."
Cotsonika continues in what really is a must-read article, and Chelios clarifies his coaching aspirations along the way. The embedded link heads to another must-read story in which Cotsonika tells of Chelios's unlikely journey from surfing in San Diego to playing an what was then an unnatural position for a 16-year-old Chelios--defense--with the Moose Jaw Canucks:

Red Wings-Jets set-up and overnight report: Wings-Jets reunion's personal—for both teams
by George Malik on 11/04/13 at 04:53 AM ET
Comments (4)
Updated with a Swedish interview with Mattias Janmark at 4:17 AM: The Detroit Red Wings hope to wrap up their four-game Western Canadian swing with a win in Winnipeg this evening (8 PM EST, FSD/TSN/97.1 FM), but the Wings' attempt to finish a slate of 4 games in 4 cities played over the course of 6 evenings hit a bit of a snag when Brendan Smith's decision to fight Will Acton proved to be a supremely selfish one.
While the 9-4-and-2 Wings come into tonight's game on a 3-game winning streak thanks to victories over Vancouver last Wednesday, Calgary on Friday and Edmonton on Saturday, they were already feeling the pinch of Jonathan Ericsson's absence on the blueline (Ericsson's on the LTIR until November 15th due to a partially-separated shoulder), and Jonas Gustavsson's stiff neck necessitated Petr Mrazek's recall from Grand Rapids.
On Sunday, we found out that Smith tweaked his left shoulder during his fight, and the Red Wings recalled Adam Almquist from Grand Rapids as a result. The Detroit News's Ted Kulfan confirmed Smith's status, and explained why the Wings recalled Almquist over Xavier Ouellet....

Genetic Rescue Efforts Could Help Coral Shrug Off Warmer Oceans 137 137
The Washington Post reports that research published last week in the journal Science indicates that coral reefs may be less vulnerable to ocean temperature changes than has been widely believed, especially given human intervention. A slice: Some corals already have the genes needed to adapt to higher ocean temperatures, and researchers expect those genes will naturally migrate and mix with corals under stress over time ... And that process could potentially be sped up artificially. ... Giving coral evolution a boost isn't an entirely new concept. Some scientists have already suggested genetically modifying corals through artificial breeding, or doing the same for the tiny microbes that live inside corals and are essential to reef growth.

Zel, by Donna Jo Napoliby Dear Librarian and tagged Donna Jo Napoli, fairy tales, Repunzel, Zel
Have you ever wondered about the other characters in fairy tales? Have you have thought to consider what the other characters think happened? Isn't there a saying about there being "two sides to every story?" Donna Jo Napoli rewrites fairy tales with these questions in mind. For example, in Zel, not only do you hear from Zel (short for Repunzel), but you also hear from Konrad (the prince) and Mother. This story becomes quite dynamic when you hear from everyone else–and not just the main character of the fairy tale.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a device for mixing and delivering orthopaedic bone cement or the like.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Orthopaedic bone cement is used throughout the world to secure hip, knee and other metallic prostheses in an appropriate anatomical position. The bone cement is produced by thoroughly mixing together two components, usually methylmethacrylate monomer liquid and polymethylmethacrylate powder. The mixing is usually carried out using a simple bowl and spatula. The surgeon then removes the required amount of cement and manipulates it by hand before inserting it into a preformed cavity or applying it to a resected bony surface where the prosthesis is to be positioned. Cement may either be applied by hand or may be put into a syringe and applied thereby. However, this simple mixing method has two major drawbacks.
Firstly, free methylmethacrylate fumes are emitted from the mixture. It is desirable to remove these fumes, or prevent them from escaping into the atmosphere, since they have an unpleasant odour and may be harmful to operating room personnel. The fumes are known to cause nausea and giddiness and are generally objectionable, particularly to the nurses who actually carry out the mixing. Recently there has also been concern that long term exposure to these fumes results in a more serious health risk. Current employment law relating to occupational health dictates that medical staff must now be protected against the exposure to hazardous substances.
Secondly, a very high mixing efficiency is required to produce a homogenous cement material. During the mixing process air is naturally introduced into the mixture since air is inherently existent within the powder and also in and around the mixing vessel. Air bubbles are also produced by the "boiling off" of monomer which occurs during the mixing process. The introduction of air produces a weak cement and, since the joint must usually support a heavy load, it is important to reduce the amount of air in the mixture as much as possible in order to improve the mechanical strength of the cement material.
In order to eliminate as much air as possible from the mixture, mixing is now preferably carried out under vacuum. This considerably reduces the amount of air in the mixture. Mixing in a conventional bowl and spatula system can produce a product with a porosity value of approximately 20 to 25%. In a vacuum mix, the porosity is often reduced to levels below 5%.
Several devices for mixing the cement in a vacuum are presently available. Some of these are in the form of hand-held mixing bowls. The substances to be mixed are placed in the bowl to which a vacuum is applied. The substances are mixed by means of a rotating paddle extending into the bowl which is rotated manually by means of a handle extending through the lid of the bowl. In some applications, the use of such a mixing bowl, an example of which is disclosed in WO 93/10892, is favoured. Many surgeons prefer to "hand pack" the cement. Bowl mixing also tends to be preferred by nurses who are used to the convenience of mixing in such a vessel; a bowl is easy to use and it is important that the nurses feel confident since timing is very crucial and the mixture must be `right first time`. Many surgeons also tend to prefer bowl mixers because they can easily take samples of the cement from the bowl at any time to determine the progress of polymerisation as it is crucial that the mixture does not begin to set before it is applied.
However, in some applications it is preferable or necessary to apply the mixed cement to the bone by means of a syringe. Indeed some surgeons, particularly in Europe, prefer syringe-type application to "hand packing". If the cement is mixed in a bowl, it must then be transferred to a dispensing syringe which can be messy and time consuming and may expose the mixture to more air entrapment. This problem has been overcome by combining a mixing chamber with a syringe. For example, EP-A-0178658 discloses a device for mixing bone cement comprising a mixing container connected to a feed device. A vacuum source is connected to the feed device for mixing the substances under vacuum. This device has proved to be a very efficient mixing and transfer system and eliminates the need to transfer the mixed cement from the mixing bowl to a syringe.
However, a device such as disclosed in EP-A-0178658 may be inadequate in that `dead spots`, i.e. areas where the components are not sufficiently mixed, occur, particularly at the outer edges of the mixing chamber.
Further, the mixing paddle of EP-A-0178658 is rotated by a rotary electric drive motor. This makes the device costly and space consuming and requires specialist and time-consuming installation. The device is not easily portable and its use is, therefore, not particularly flexible.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,096 also discloses a bone cement mixer in which the cement is mixed in the dispensing vessel. In this device, the mixing is effected manually by means of a "masher" plate-type agitator. The masher plate is attached to a shaft attached to a handle. The agitator is movable in the chamber both axially and rotatably to permit mixing of the cement by the user moving the handle vertically and rotatably. However, such a mixing operation is difficult and inefficient and does not result in thorough mixing of the cement, leaving areas of unmixed powder.
The present invention aims to overcome the above-mentioned problems.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a bone cement mixing apparatus comprising a mixing chamber, a mixing element rotatably mounted in said mixing chamber, and drive means for causing rotation of said mixing element, wherein said drive means comprises a handle axially movable relative to said mixing chamber, and a gear mechanism between said handle and said mixing element such that said gear mechanism translates axial movement of said handle into rotation of said mixing element.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of mixing bone cement in a mixing chamber, by a mixing element rotatably mounted in said chamber containing the material to be mixed; said method comprising axially moving a drive handle, relative to said chamber, wherein said handle is connected to said mixing element via a gear mechanism, such that axial movement of said handle is translated via said gear mechanism into rotation of said mixing element.
The preferred type of gear mechanism for use in the practice of the present invention is a "barley twist" mechanism wherein a downwards stroke of the handle moves a threaded rod axially through a threaded gear housing in the form of a drive bush coupled to the mixing element imposing a rotational force in a first direction on the mixing element. On the upward stroke of the handle, the mixing element is caused to rotate in the opposite direction. Rotating the element alternately in different directions during mixing provides very thorough mixing. The "barley twist" mechanism allows this with a simple push-pull action of the handle rather than the user having to rotate the handle backwards and forwards alternately which can be difficult and tiring, particularly when mixing cement of high viscosity.
Although the present invention may be applied to any bone cement mixing chamber, it is preferably used in combination with a dispensing syringe. Thus, the cylinder of the syringe forms the body of the mixing chamber and a plunger is slidably mounted at one end of the cylinder for causing ejection of the mixed cement.
As discussed above, the quality of the cement is greatly improved if it is mixed under vacuum and, therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises means for creating a vacuum within the chamber.
For thorough mixing, the mixing element is preferably in the form of a paddle arrangement mounted on a shaft which in the preferred embodiment includes an axial bore through which the threaded rod of the barley twist gear mechanism can extend. The paddle or paddles extend radially from the shaft and at least one paddle may extend from the shaft to the wall of the mixing chamber so that as it rotates it wipes out the whole of the cement containing part of the interior of the chamber.
To avoid wasting any of the mixed cement, the mixing paddle should preferably be wiped clean before it is removed from the mixing chamber. A hygienic way of doing this, which avoids contamination of the cement is to provide a slot in the chamber through which the mixing paddle extends into the chamber. This slot is of a width substantially equal to the thickness of the mixing paddle so as to wipe any residual cement from the mixing paddle as it is withdrawn through the slot after mixing.
The slot may be formed as an integral part of the cylinder towards the end to which the handle is attached, in which case, after mixing, the cement would be ejected through this slot. Alternatively, the slot could be formed in a separate member, such as a cap or a plate, adapted to be inserted between the cylinder and the lid. The slotted member could then be removed after the mixing paddle has been withdrawn through it, before the cement is ejected.
In mixing bone cement, alternate layers of cement powder and monomer liquid are put into the mixing chamber. Initially the cement is very stiff and a high force is needed to start the mixing. There is then a surface reaction between the powder and liquid phases and once mixing has started the required mixing force drops sharply. The larger the interface area between the layers, the better the surface reaction. Thus, the cylinder should be as wide as possible to maximise the layer interface area whilst still being comfortable to handle.
In one embodiment, the mixing element, the handle and the gear mechanism are formed as an integral unit in a detachable lid assembly. The lid is adapted to be attached to one end of the cylinder by e.g. matching threaded portions. After mixing, the lid assembly including the mixing assembly comprising the mixing element, the handle and the gear mechanism can be removed from the cylinder, e.g. by unscrewing, and, in the preferred embodiment, can be replaced by a nozzle or the like. The nozzle cooperates with the plunger to eject the mixed cement out through the nozzle when the plunger is pushed into the cylinder. The plunger may be manually operated, e.g. using a hand gun arrangement or, alternatively, a gas powered pressure gun could be used.
In many applications, however, e.g. in hip replacement operations, more than one step is involved and, therefore, several batches of cement need to be mixed. To make the system more economical, the handle and the gear mechanism should preferably be re-usable, whereas the mixing paddle is only used once and then disposed of. Thus, for such applications the drive mechanism should be detachable from the mixing element after use.
According to a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a bone cement mixing apparatus comprising a mixing chamber, a mixing element rotatably mounted in said mixing chamber, and drive means including a handle for causing rotation of said mixing element, wherein said drive means is carried by a lid assembly of the chamber, and wherein the lid assembly and drive means are detachable from the chamber and from the mixing element thereby enabling reuse of the lid assembly and drive means with a different chamber and mixing element if desired.
Air tight seals are preferably provided between the lid assembly and the mixing element, between the lid assembly and the chamber and the chamber and the stand assembly. In this embodiment the drive bush of the preferred gear mechanism is preferably detachable from the paddle and may conveniently be push fitted into the top of the paddle shaft. A rib and groove locating arrangement is preferred.
When the contents of the chamber have been sufficiently mixed, the lid assembly and drive means can be removed, leaving the paddle inside the chamber. This indicates to the nurse that the next step is to remove the paddle and attach a nozzle for applying the cement. If the paddle is withdrawn through a slit to wipe it clean, it is easier to align the paddle with the slit once the lid assembly has been removed. This makes the device particularly user friendly.
The nozzle cooperates with the plunger to eject the mixed cement out through the nozzle when the plunger is pushed into the cylinder. The plunger may be manually operated, e.g. using a hand gun arrangement or, alternatively, a gas powered pressure gun could be used.
According to another aspect, the invention provides an orthopaedic bone cement mixing apparatus comprising a cylindrical syringe body defining a mixing chamber, a plunger slidably mounted at one end of the cylinder, a mixing member rotatably mounted in said chamber and drive means for causing rotation of said mixing member, wherein said mixing member includes a blade mounted on and radially extending from a rotatable shaft along the central axis of the cylinder such that rotation of said shaft causes said blade to rotate about the axis of the shaft within the interior of the cylinder, and wherein the blade extends from the shaft to the inner wall of the cylinder and is adapted and arranged so that as the blade rotates it wipes out the whole cement containing part of the interior of the cylinder.
Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a mixing apparatus according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a more detailed cross-sectional view of the gear mechanism of a mixing apparatus according to one aspect of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a mixing apparatus according to another aspect of the invention;
FIG. 3a, is an enlarged exploded view of the engagement between the mixing paddle and gear mechanism of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a mixing device according to one aspect of the invention, with a nozzle attached and in a cement dispensing position; and
FIG. 5 is a top view, on an enlarged scale, of a cover of a syringe body in accordance with the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a combined bone cement mixing and dispensing syringe. The cylindrical syringe body 1 defines a mixing chamber 2. A plunger 3 for ejecting the mixed cement is slidingly located in one end of the cylinder 1. A mixing element extends into the mixing chamber 2. The mixing element comprises a hollow shaft 4 along the central axis of the cylinder 1 with a number of fixed paddle blades 5 extending radially outwards from the shaft 4. The blades 5 are made of plastic strong enough to resist bending when mixing viscous cement. However, in order to prevent `dead spots` occurring and to ensure thorough mixing, diametrically opposite blades should have generally complementary shapes as shown. The shaft 4 is attached to a drive mechanism including a handle 7 and a gear mechanism which is indicated generally at 6 (shown in more detail in FIG. 2 and discussed further, below). The handle 7 carries a rod 8 which is axially movable by the handle 7. The rod 8 extends axially through the removable lid 9 of the cylinder 1 and passes through a drive bush 10 fixed to the mixing paddle shaft 4 and shown in more detail in FIG. 2. The handle 7 is preferably secured tightly to the rod 8 such that axial motion of the handle 7 necessarily results in rotation of the rod and hence the paddle shaft 4. The rod 8 of the preferred embodiment has a barley twist configuration of square cross-section. The rod 8 passes through the drive bush 10 via a correspondingly dimensioned square aperture 11 which functions as a driving lug. As the drive handle 7 is pushed, the rod 8 moves axially through aperture 11 and into the hollow shaft 4 of the mixing member. Thus, as the rod 8 moves axially through the aperture 11, the square shape of the aperture is forced to follow the `twist` of the rod 8, thus causing the bush 10, and mixing paddle to rotate as the handle 7 and hence the rod 8 are moved axially. Similarly, when the handle 7 is pulled the rod 8 is withdrawn through the aperture 11 in the bush 10 and the mixing member is caused to rotate in the opposite direction. Thus, as the handle is pushed and/or pulled the mixing blades 5 rotate within the mixing chamber about the axis of the shaft 4.
The drive bush 10 is rotatably mounted inside the lid 9 and, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the shaft 4 of the mixing member is fixedly attached to the drive bush 10.
In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the mixing element is instead detachable from the lid assembly. Thus, the drive bush 10' has a number of locating ribs 100 around its outer periphery (FIG. 3A). The mixing member has a hollow shaft 4'. The top of the shaft 4' of the mixing member has a number of grooves 200, corresponding to the ribs 100, around its inner periphery. Towards the open end of the shaft 4', the grooves 200 open out to provide a widened entrance for the ribs 100. This enables easy push-fit location of the drive bush 101 in the shaft 4'. As in the first embodiment, the drive bush has an aperture shaped to cooperate with the rod 8 and translate axial movement of the rod into rotation of the mixing element. As shown in FIG. 3, the lid 9' carries a downwardly facing funnel shape guide member 201 which helps locate the top of shaft 4' to facilitate its engagement by the drive bush 10'. An O-ring seal 202 fitted into a groove on the exterior of shaft 4' cooperates between the top of shaft 4' and the inner surface of the neck of guide member 201 so as to prevent air entering the mixing chamber via the drive gear mechanism.
The top end 203 of guide member 201 is fixed into a downwardly projecting annular flange 204 of the lid 9' so as to retain the rotatable drive bush 10' within the lid assembly.
A further O-ring seal 205 is disposed between the lid 9 and the exterior of cylinder 1.
In the preferred embodiments, the mixing element has two diametrically opposite mixing blades 5 extending radially outwards from the shaft 4. Each blade 5 comprises alternate lobes 5a and spaces 5b along the length of the shaft 4. To ensure thorough mixing, the lobes 5a of one blade 5 correspond to the position of the spaces 5b of the other. Also, the lobes 5a themselves may be solid or apertured as shown. Apertured lobes minimize the amount of material required to form blades which provide sufficiently thorough mixing. Of course any number of blades 5 may be provided and the design of the blades may vary. For example, several blades of different widths could be used.
The mixing chamber 2 is defined by a cylindrical syringe body 1, partially closed at one end. The closed end is adapted to axially receive a plunger 3, This end is also adapted to be received in stand 13 and may be secured to the stand 13 by corresponding screw threads. A seal 206 (FIG. 3) provides a seal between the syringe body 1 and stand 13. The other end of body 1 is preferably provided with an outer thread, adapted to receive a corresponding inner thread of the lid 9 and of a nozzle 12 (FIG. 4).
In use, the cement materials to be mixed are placed into the mixing chamber 2, which is closed at one end by the plunger 3 or part of a plunger. The inner surface of the plunger 3 is preferably domed, as best seen from FIG. 4, to match the inner profile of the lid to minimize waste. The cylindrical body 1 may, after being filled to the desired level, be positioned on the stand 13 or may be hand-held. The lid 9 has an inner thread so that it can be screwed onto the thread at the end of the cylindrical syringe body 1 with the shaft 4 and blades 5 extending into the cylinder 1. The cement is then thoroughly mixed by alternately pushing and pulling the handle 7 which causes the blades 5 to rotate about the axis of the shaft 4. Mixing may be carried out under vacuum and a vacuum pump may be attached to a vacuum port 16 in the lid 9.
When the cement has been mixed sufficiently, the mixing member is removed. In the preferred embodiments, a slotted cover 14 (see also FIG. 5) is provided between the cylinder 1 and the lid 9. Cover 14 has a control aperture, through which the shaft 4 passes, and a slots. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the paddle is initially left behind in the cylinder 1 after the rod 8 has been withdrawn. The drive bush 10' detaches from the top of the shaft 4' and may be removed when the lid assembly 9 is unscrewed. The paddle can then be withdrawn separately through the slot S in cover 14, the slot being of substantially the same width as the thickness of the blades 5 so that any cement remaining on the blades 5 is wiped off. In the embodiment of FIG. 1 the paddle is always removed with the handle and lid assembly.
The lid 9 is then replaced by an applicator nozzle 12. The mixed cement is then forced through the nozzle 12 under the action of the plunger 3 to be applied to the appropriate site. Different types of plunger may be used to force the cement out through the nozzle 12 for example, a hand operated gun 17 may be used. However, the preferred embodiment uses a gas powered pressure gun. FIG. 4 shows the apparatus with a hand operated gun for imparting motion to plunger 3 and with a nozzle 12 attached in a dispensing position.
The side of the plunger 3 pushing against the cement is preferably domed to profile the ejection end of the chamber 1 to minimize wastage of cement.
The plunger 3 may be slidably inserted at either end of the cylinder 1 although the preferred embodiment is as described above.
The embodiment of FIG. 1 includes a spring 15 which is compressed on the down stroke of the handle and assists the reverse stroke. This is omitted in the second embodiment.
It is preferable to manufacture the cylinder, mixing mechanism and plunger from a fairly rigid plastic material, thus reducing the cost of the apparatus and providing a disposable mixer. The apparatus could, of course, be made from other materials e.g. lightweight metal.

The 45 megawatt Ardchonnel windfarm would have been one of the largest in Argyll had it been allowed on the estate of Sir Jamie McGrigor.
However, councillors on Argyll and Bute Council's planning committee unanimously refused to grant the project permission yesterday, in line with recommendations from their officials.
Developers RWE Innogy now have three months in which they can lodge an appeal.
The Ardchonnel project would see 15 turbines, each 364ft tall, erected on the hills above Loch Awe, generating enough electricity to power 40% of the homes in Argyll and Bute.
The proposal proved unpopular among many of Sir Jamie's constituents, dozens of whom lodged formal objections claiming it would ruin the skyline and wreck the local tourist trade.
Sir Jamie, 64, an Eton-educated baronet who has been a Highland and Islands Tory list MSP since 1999, struck a deal with German energy giant RWE to develop Ardchonnel in 2011.
According to their agreement, he would receive £7,000 a year "base rent" for each megawatt of installed capacity, or up to £315,000, plus extra if the windfarm performed very well.
Index-linked over the 25-year life of the turbines, the site, which is currently used to graze sheep, should have generated over £8m.
Sir Jamie argues the windfarm would bring jobs.
However a planning officer report presented to yesterday's meeting in Ardrishaig said Ardchonnel was inconsistent with the local development plan "due to its adverse landscape, visual, and cumulative impact on the landscape setting of Loch Awe" and recommended refusal.
Sir Jamie declined to comment. RWE Innogy UK said they were obviously disappointed. They would consider their options before deciding how to proceed.

Amazing-Man Comics #5 (#1) Mile High pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. So much going for this exceptional offering! It's from Edgar Church's legendary collection, the Mile High copy of a very scarce book, and, true to its pedigree, it's tied for the highest grade yet certified by CGC. Difficult to find in any grade -- both Overstreet and The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books rate it "rare" -- and if you are lucky enough to find a copy, it's just about impossible to find it in high grade. To date, besides the two 9.4 copies, just one other, a VF- 7.5 copy has earned a grade higher than VG+ 4.5. Incredibly, among the total of 16 unrestored copies certified to date by CGC, 12 have grades of VG- 3.5 or lower! It's the first issue of the Centaur title and has the origin and first appearance of A-Man, the Amazing Man, Iron Skull, Miniature Man, and The Cat-Man. Bill Everett, known more for his Golden Age Sub-Mariner artwork, provided the cover and interior art, as did other Timely greats Carl Burgos, Tarpe Mils, and Paul Gustavson. Overstreet 2013 NM- 9.2 value = $33,000. CGC census 2/14: 2 in 9.4, none higher.

Good morning,
I am writing today on behalf of a project that I dearly need some assistance with.
I was the Executive Producer of Club Disney here in the US and Cinderellabration at TDL as well as the former Director of Special Events at Disneyland during the 50th. My proudest event was building the swimming pool on Main Street. My career spanned over 30 years at Disney. I am no longer with the company. I do have a question for they Mice Chat Community
My wife is Sayre Wiseman, a name I am sure is familiar to you.
It is her birthday in February and her 20th year at Disney. My son and I are putting together an Apple Book for her on all the projects that she has produced over the years at the company.
My problem is this, I have no where near enough images of my own to complete this project. I do not want to resort to just Marketing Images
This is not a commercial venture, Only one book will be made for her and that is it.
Here is a list of the projects that she produced that I am trying to find images of. These images do not have to be just of the show, what would be great is to also have shots of people enjoying the shows:
Mythica (TDS)
World of Color (DL)
Festival of Fools (DL)
Animazement (DL)
Soundsational (DL)
Dreams (DL)
Kodak ToonTown Tour (DL)
50th Golden Ride Vehicles (DL)
Hidden 50s 50th Anniversary (DL)
Happiest Faces on Earth 50th Anniversary (DL)
Disney Dreams (DLP)
Camp Disney (WDSEG)
Park Décor DL 50th(DL)
Aulani Entertainment Projects
Lion King Premier at Radio City
Pochahantas Premier (12 Theaters around US)
I thought it would mean more to her to have memories from Disneyfiles as they would be so much more treasured than flat, staged marketing images.
You can send images to: [email protected]
Thank you all for your time in just considering. If you happen to know Sayre, please keep this quiet.
Thank you.

A group of German book publishers is behind Libreka.de, a new book search engine intended to be an alternative Google's own book scan and search program. According to Deutsche Welle, the new service, which launched this week at the Frankfurt Book Fair, contains just 8,000 German language volumes, each of which the publishers opted to have included. This is in contrast to the "opt-out" approach favored by Google. Of course, because publishers have to opt in to Libreka (a word derived from the words for "free" and "book", as well as eureka), the project is going to have a hard time coming close to Google's size, possibly limiting its appeal. As such, the site is currently geared towards bookstore owners, who might want to put it on their sites as a guide for customers, making it less of an actual competitor to Google's service. Still, as Rüdiger Salat, an executive at publishing house Holtzbrinck, put it, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) may one day be a friend to publishers, but for now it's "more an enemy". Libreka is based on book search technology developed by Indian software company MPS, in which Holrtzbrinck is an investor.
Also, while Libreka is a private venture, it feels similar, at least in sentiment, to Quaero, the Euro-backed search project intended to be an alternative to Google. Germany actually pulled out of the project earlier this year, in part because some participants weren't comfortable with the idea of an explicitly anti-Google endeavor. Instead, Germany opted to support Theseus, a semantic web project led by SAP and Siemens.

"I was ecstatic when received my orde earlier than expected, and I was so happy when I opened the package. my business cards were beautiful, professional, and added a bit of my stylish touch to it. I added the pearl shine to my cards which helped them stand out more. Being a new photographer, I'm so excited to pass out my cards to my clients!"
"Love these cards. I normally don't order items like these on-line. I need to touch and feel..etc. My Sister raved about your site so I decided to give it a try. I'm very happy I did. The quality is great, the color is bright, the text perfect, and looks like what I ordered."
"This product was amazing when it arrived! Exceeded all expectations. My only complaint is that I wish I would have chosen GLOSS when I made the order! Aside from that, this was as expected! I purchased it so people could use it as a "picture" for their wallet with multiple images captured from my son's birthday party."
"I love the way these cards turned out. The colors are quite vibrant, and I find the design itself quite classy with a touch of whimsy. The paper quality is really nice, although a few of the card edges did get bent in the packaging which was a bit disappointing. Overall very happy with the cards!"
"I ordered these for my recently opened Etsy shop and they are beautiful. The design is simple and just what I was looking for. Shipping was quick and the print quality is wonderful. Can't wait to start handing these out!"

Castres v Montpellier: Teams
At Stade Ernest Wallon, Friday May 25, kick-off 8.45pm
Last Updated: 25/05/12 9:14am
Castres will be gunning for revenge when they tackle Montpellier in the Top 14 play-offs on Friday.
Castres crashed out of play-offs at the same stage last season when they lost 18-17 at home to Montpellier.
However Castres will go into the game on the back of four straight wins and with the knowledge they have toppled Montpol twice in the regular season.
Castres have made just the one change to their line up with Thierry Lacrampe preferred at scrum-half ahead of Rory Kockott, who joins Seremaia Bai on the bench,
Montpellier, last season's surprise finalists, have been rocked by injury problems at scrum-half.
Julien Tomas and Benoit Pailllauge will miss out on the clash through injury so teenager Eric Escande will wear the No.9 shirt.
Montpellier, though, have been buoyed by news skipper Fulgence Ouedraogo and full-back Lucas Amorosino have been passed fit to play.
Castres: 15 Romain Teulet, 14 Romain Martial, 13 Max Evans, 12 Romain Cabannes, 11 Marc Andreu, 10 Pierre Bernard, 9 Thierry Lacrampe , 8 Matemini Masoe, 7 Yannick Caballero , 6 Ibrahim Diarra, 5 Joe Tekori, 4 Matthias Rolland, 3 Luc Ducalcon, 2 Mathieu Bonello, 1 Yannick Forestier.

Algerian artists are forming their own artist-run spaces and collectives. Assia Boundaoui of PRI took a look at their efforts, which are partly a response, Boundaoui wrote, to the "Ministry of Culture's monopoly on the art scene."
"We want it to be known that many Algerian artists are creating contemporary art." said Walid Aidoud, a graphic designer based in Algiers who's one of the founding members of artist collective BOX 24—which hosts one of the country's only independent art spaces. Boundaoui noted that the Ministry of Culture had a total budget in 2012 of $450 million, but that it tends to "host expensive, flashy exhibitions of well-known Algerian artists" while disregarding emerging younger artists, and ignoring art that explores topics like "corruption, unemployment, and the frustrations of Algeria's youth."
Back in Europe, an Austrian industrialist named Hans Peter Haselsteiner has stepped forward to buy the art collection amassed by Karlheinz Essl, according to Die Presse. Earlier this year, Essl made a failed bid to sell the collection to the state, as Artforum.com reported here. Haselsteiner is buying the collection for $131 million, which Essl will use toward keeping his BauMax empire afloat. The collection includes pieces by Austrians like Oskar Kokoschka and Hermann Nitsch, as well as international artists like Sam Francis and Anish Kapoor.
Austria may have turned down an opportunity to buy a collection, but the Southern French city of Carcassonne has turned down a gift of artworks valued at $5.2 million. Coline Milliard reported in Artnet that the Brazilian art dealer Cérès Franco had offered the town her collection—which comprises works by outsider and self-taught artists—but that a new administration had notified her the collection would be returned to her mother's house, which currently serves as a private museum, saying that the government did not have enough money to maintain the collection, but also that interest in the artworks was lacking, according to an interview with Franco in the Dépêche du Midi. Others, however, allege the rejection of the gift was political. The local cultural councilor, Alain Tarlier, had spent the last two decades campaigning for the collection to stay in Carcassonne; he said he was deeply hurt. "I'm waiting for explanations," he added.
As Scotland geared up for a referendum on its independence, The Spectator published several perspectives, first appearing in the Apollo Magazine, on whether independence would be good or bad for Scotland's museums and galleries. James Holloway, director of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery for over a decade, said that independence would hurt Scottish arts funding: "The whole sector depends on the generosity of an independent charity, the Art Fund. Will the Art Fund continue to give grants to Scotland if the country elects to leave the United Kingdom? Why should it continue to support the collections of a foreign country?" He summed up: "What is sure is that Scotland's present position in regard to arts funding . . . would be certain to get worse."
In contrast, Sandy Moffatt—who was head of painting at the Glasgow School of Art—said, "Independence is about the long view—what might be achieved when the cultural priorities of Scotland begin to take on a different shape from those at present." He added, "Rather than diminish their role, independence offers museums and galleries an enhanced sphere of influence at the center of the nation's cultural life."
The Kunstverein Kestner Gesellschaft in Hannover named a new director: Christina Végh. According to Monopol, Végh will be the first woman directing the organization; she succeeds Veit Gorner, who's held the position since 2003. After beginning her career at the Kunsthalle Basel, Végh went on to serve as director of the Bonner Kunstverein for a decade, where she worked with artists like Ed Atkins, Alexandra Bircken, and Christopher Williams.
Said Végh, "My focus is not on developing exhibitions that are simple successions of artworks being presented, but on putting forth this exhibition space as a place for research and knowledge, thereby integrating new methods of mediation and communication."
Münster residents are counting down the days: The city's Landesmuseum für Kunst und Kultur is preparing to reopen its doors on September 20 after a $66 million renovation, reported Der Westen. The museum's holdings include everything from medieval artifacts from Westphalia to international modern contemporary art. Its exhibition spaces, after the renovations, will have quardrupled from 20,000 to 80,000 square feet. The architect, Volker Staab, designed the museum in such a way that most of the artworks can be viewed from various rooms and perspectives; the new museum also affords sweeping views of Münster's city center.

Proposition 5: Public facilities
Libraries, museums would get upgrades
The director of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History has worried about water from above each time it rains for the past 20 years. It's not only rainfall he fears; it's humidity that causes condensation from the facility's air ducts to drip through the ceiling.
"We have two wading pools and a bunch of buckets that our maintenance crew put out in the north building's galleries and the hallway to the Columbus ships," museum director Rick Stryker said. "Our custodians do it automatically because they don't like mopping up the mess."
The museum's eight rooftop air conditioners have been in place since construction was completed in 1974, and have been on the city's capital improvement list for replacement since 1988. They will be replaced if Proposition 5 in the city's $153 million bond package passes.
Proposition 5 earmarks $3.05 million to upgrade museums and libraries. The largest portion, $1.5 million, goes toward upgrades at the Greenwood Library, which opened in 1966.
The building has settled and needs foundation work, a rusted metal exterior support wall allows rain inside and the roof and mechanical systems need repair, said Herb Canales, the city's director of libraries.
The library also would be expanded under the bond proposal, allowing additional classroom space needed since the Corpus Christi Literacy Council took up residence there in the early 1990s. The last expansion was in 1991.
"We're hoping that, creatively, we can work it all out so that we can also add space for the literacy council," Canales said.
Depending on costs, any remaining funds would be used to help a parking crunch, he said. The library shares a complex with the city's health department and senior center that also compete for spaces. Repaving and striping for more parking is needed.
The bond proposal continues library upgrades started with 2004 bond funds -- the Northwest Library reopened a year ago and the new $3.5 million Dr. Clotilde P. Garcia Library next to Kaffie Middle School is scheduled to open in November.
Proposition 5 also includes $100,000 to purchase land adjacent to the Northwest Library to expand parking and develop a butterfly garden.
The rest of the bond money, $1.45 million, will go toward the upgrades at the science and history museum and at the Art Museum of South Texas to better protect exhibits from failing heat and cooling systems. The funding also would provide a new generator and update smoke detection systems for the science and history museum.
Replacing the eight air units at the science and history museum, at an estimated cost of $850,000, will protect the 40,000 square feet of displays.
The $600,000 proposed for the art museum would go toward replacing the boiler that serves the Philip Johnson-designed building. The boiler, installed in 1971, is being held together with baling wire and duct tape, director Joe Schenk said.
"Technicians who keep patching it up have all said it has greatly exceeded its 35-year life (expectancy)," he said. The adjoining new Ricardo Legorreta-designed building that opened in 2006 has its own heat and cooling system, so spending would focus on the roughly 30,000-square-foot Philip Johnson building that relies on the boiler. Any funds left would be used to replace corroding components of the nine air conditioners, Schenk said.
"We've been living on borrowed time, and I hope boiler efficiencies have improved to save us some utility dollars if we can replace it," he said, adding that the art museum spent more than $252,000 last year maintaining the temperature and humidity. "The meter is spinning off the wall."
It's critical to exhibits to control temperature and humidity 24 hours a day, Stryker said.
"The value to the community in heritage and science collections is irreplaceable," Stryker said. "I hold my breath every time we have an emergency. Within 24 hours of a hurricane threat 12 years ago the humidity shot up so high it was raining from the ceilings."
Proposition 5: Public facilities, $3.05 million
- Greenwood Library renovations: $1.5 million
- Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, air and heating system repairs: $850,000
- Art Museum of South Texas, air and heating system repairs: $600,000
- Northwest Library, land purchase and parking improvements: $100,000

Yum! I like making chia pudding with these: mix chia seeds with your favorite juice, let stand: instant jellylike pudding. I find them really filling. I put them in cereal and add them to yoghurts too. They're supposed to be high in omega-3, so check it out if you're interested in eating non-animal omega-3.

My daughter is now 18 months. I made this decision that I would tell her her conception/birth story every year on her birthday, but I'm not sure what obstacles lie ahead. Any recommendation on good donor storybooks, or sources for how to raise (rather than birth) a DE baby?

This is a great website for some recommended books. I would love to hear update from you on how it goes~~

1st DE IVF brings us our miracle! Miss Evelyn was born on 6/24/2013!

My daughter is 4.5 and I just read one of those books to her, as I decided to tell her every year too. I think she might be just starting to sort of maybe understand what I am telling her but not really. I would say that 4 is a good age to start reading these types of books... I had her write her name where the book says, "this book belongs to:" so that she would remember and see that this has been her book since she could write her name. I also show her pictures that the agency gave me of the donor and talk about her as the nice lady that helped me have a baby...
I worry to how this is going to turn out for her. I hope it does not cause her any sort of identity crisis. She is perfect to me, and that would break my heart.
To me the donor eggs don't change a thing for me as far as her being my flesh and blood, she came from me, she is mine...
Me(33) DH(31) 7 failed IUIs, 2 cancelled IVF's due to POV, BFP with donor egg & donor sperm! Baby girl arrived 8/22/13 :)
I also have told her from the beginning, but of course it doesn't mean anything yet. Terri, I have the same worries, sometimes bigger than other. I just hope that there are so many kinds of families now (and we live in the city, which helps), that ours will be just one more kind. I wish I had been able to get a non-anonymous donor, but no such luck.

Thank you for the website! I'm sure they gave it to me at the time of the process, but I think I was so superstitious I didn't dare think beyond birth!

Thanks for the link to books! We know we want to tell Emory, but haven't come to a decision on how or when. Good luck everyone!
Karen, wife to Kelly, mom to ^Olivia^ 2-5-00~2-10-08, Emory 3-4-13 via DE IVF
We will tell our twins as soon as the first questions arise-- they just turned two years old, so I assume around three or four years of age. We will continue to give them age-appropriate explanations over the years. I hope it goes well-- but I assume the teen years may be tough-- they are anyhow at times! The situation may be complicated further by the fact that we also have a bio child.
Twins 11-3-10. IVF w/donor eggs.
Baby girl arrived 12-12-12. Spontaneous pregnancy.
Baby girl arrived 5-14-15. Spontaneous pregnancy.

Join author David Gassner as he describes how to add dynamic data to a PHP-enabled web site in Adobe Dreamweaver. This intermediate course shows how to plan and create a MySQL database, define a PHP-enabled site in Dreamweaver, connect the site to the database, and manage and present dynamic data. David also explores Dreamweaver features such as PHP custom class introspection and site-specific code hinting as well as the differences between the CS5 and CS6 versions of the software.
This course was updated on 6/12/2012.
The last step in creating a data management system is to give the user a way to delete data from the MySQL table. I'll start this exercise by creating a completely new file. I'll select File > New and then create a new blank PHP page. I'll go into Code View, and I'm going to delete all of the HTML in the page. The user will never see this page rendered in the browser. It will execute a backend database operation to delete a record and then immediately return to the list page.
Then I'll save the file into the same folder that contains my other data management pages, and I'll name it explorerdelete.php. I'm going to add a server behavior. I'll go to the Server Behaviors panel, click plus, and choose Delete Record. In the Delete Record dialog, I'll check my Connection and then set the Table to Explorers. I've accepted the settings for the Primary key column and value, and then indicate that after deleting, I want to go to explorerlist.php.
When I click OK, all of the required PHP code is added to the page. Down at the bottom, PHP first checks to make sure that I have a variable named explorerId, a Get variable that will be passed from another page. It also makes sure that this variable isn't blank, and then if that's all true, it executes a deleteSQL statement, removing the requested record from the database table. Down at the bottom, it sets a variable, indicating which page we want to navigate to, and then using this command, header, sprintf, Location, deleteGoTo, it redirects the browser to that page.
In the page's current state, watch what happens if I browse it directly. I'll run the page in the browser, and I see that the page is blank. The problem is with the logic. If this condition in the 'if' statement turns out to be false, PHP simply is told, jump past all this code and don't do anything. To fix this, I'm going to take everything starting with the setting of the deleteGoTo variable, all the way through the header command. I'll cut it to the clipboard, and then paste it after the closing brace for the 'if' statement.
I'll then select most of the code and press Shift+Tab and then do a little bit more tabulation to make the code look right. If the page is called directly from the browser for some reason, instead of just showing a blank page, it will navigate to the list page. So now my page is ready to delete records. I am going to call this page from the list page. I'll go to explorerlist.php and look at it in Design View. In Design View, I'll click and drag down to select the entire final column in the table.
Then I'll right-click and choose Table > Insert Rows or Columns. Don't choose Insert Column here, because it would insert a column before the current selected column. If I choose Insert Rows or Columns, I have the option to insert a new column either before or after the current column. I will choose Columns, and one column after the current column, and click OK. Then I'll click into the final column into the second row, the row that contains the data, and I'll type the word "Delete." I'll select the word "Delete," and then go to the Link box, and I'll browse and select my new file, explorerdelete.php.
Now I'll go to Code View. Just as with the Update command, I need to pass a variable, which I'll name explorerId, to the receiving page. The easiest way to do this is to take the existing code that I already put into the Update command. So I'll go to the explorerupdate2.php href. I'll start with the question mark, and I'll take everything through the output of the explorerId column. I'll copy that to the clipboard. Then I'll go down to my new explorerdelete.php href, I'll right-click there, and paste.
I'm ready to test my delete operation. I'll save and run the list page, and when the list page is displayed, it shows a delete item for each record in the database table. I'll click Delete for my Revised Explorer record. You will see that it doesn't work quite right yet. So, I am going to go back to my list page, and I'm going to change the case of the variable that I'm passing from one page to another, so that it has an uppercase I instead of a lowercase i. I'll run the page in the browser again, I'll click Delete, and now the record is correctly removed.
It's important to match the case in the variable name and in the code that's looking for the variable in the Delete page. So now you have the ability to insert new records by clicking the Insert New Explorer link. You have the ability to update records by clicking on the First Name of any record, and you also have the ability to delete data from the MySQL database by clicking on the Delete links. Dreamweaver has generated most of the PHP code we needed, but I have made minor alterations, and along the way you've learned a good bit about how to write PHP code to manage data in a backend MySQL database.
