- Beautiful construction but really odd fit (Review by Jim)
These bibs are beautiful in quality, but they didn't fit, so they were returned. I'm 6', 160 lbs. I ordered the Medium size. They were snug at the waist, too snug in the crotch, and way-too long in the legs. Even with ski boots on, the cuffs would drag on the ground. A minor gripe: they cuffs are too wide, unless you're going for the 1970s disco look.
Sum: If you are built like Barbie's Ken, you might have better luck.

- Finally a perfect fit !!! (Review by skidawg)
wow a lot of whiners bitchin about fit ...well i must be old and weird or just abnormal...almost 5'11" (just under) in my stocking feet and 166 lbs 34" waist cuz gravity does its own thing when you approach 60. Have a bit longer inseam or legs vs a long torso. A size medium is money! Perfect length! Nothing more hidious than high water ski pants. Pants move really well with your movements with no bind. Want to say the guys at OR are super cool and let me try on anything with no pressure to buy from their facility in Seattle. They are just stoked that you are stoked about their product no matter where you buy it. Major Kudo's for that guys.

- Outstanding (Review by Eddie)
Just spent my first day in them and am impressed with the fit and function. Gore Softshell works flawlessly for keeping you dry on the wet snow and wet chairlifts that NW skiers experience, at the same time allowing vapor to pass through. Stoked to spend more days in them. (For reference I'm 5'8" / 33" waist / 180 lbs)

- Funny size... (Review by Just Reid)
I have no complaints of the fabric and features of these pants. Burly and super functional. I loved the bib and venting. Nice pockets in all the right places. Nice wide cut in the legs fit my massive ACL braces. Which is how I judge all ski pants on now.
But the sizing... I'm tall, skinny and in general have a hard time with pants but OR pants particular.
At 6'2" 180, with a 32 inseam and 32 waist.
The larges were way too long and very loose in the waist. Medium fit perfect in length but tight hips, crotch and seat. Very limiting my snowboarding.

- Rob A (Review by OR Needs To Do More "R" On These Bibs)
OK, these are clearly made from some of the best material of any available bib. These pants have a thin but fuzzy liner and would be really great...BUT...they are cut for a KEN DOLL! If you are all legs and have a little to no butt, you might find they fit well. They are wicked tight in the crotch and really long in the leg. Wouldn't want to have to crawl out from a tree well in these.
I am 6'1" and 205, basically athletic with a little gut (need more days on the mountain). I tried both the L and XL. The L were uncomfortably tight in crotch and upper thigh, but perfect length-wise. The XL were better in the crotch (but still a tad too tight) but the legs were sufficient for someone who is 6'4" or taller.
Too bad for OR because with a little more tailoring for the typical male build and they could hands down be the best bibs on the market.

At a spot where a decaying trailer park, a seedy bar and an unsightly auto body shop once stood along the edge of a struggling neighborhood, the city of Denver plans to purchase land to build a new park.
The park in the Westwood neighborhood will help right an injustice for residents who must travel a mile in each direction before they hit parkland, said Councilman Paul Lopez, who represents the area.
The park will be the first to be built on Denver's west side in about 25 years, said Jill McGranahan, spokeswoman for the city parks and recreation department.
Statistics show those living in Lopez's district have the lowest amount of green space per capita compared with other areas of the city.
Lopez represents District 3, where 4.6 acres of green space exist per 1,000 residents.
In contrast, District 4, on the far southeastern edge of the city, has 20 acres of green space per 1,000 residents.
The disparity is even more acute for Westwood. People living there have 1.2 acres of green space per 1,000 residents, according to city statistics.
"We want people living in the city to be within walking distance of a park in every neighborhood in Denver," McGranahan said.
"This parkland helps fulfill one of our guiding principles of there being equity," she said.
Lopez recalls that when he was a child growing up in Westwood, he and his friends had no parks for picnics, football and baseball.
"Typically, most of our football games were in the street," Lopez said. "Now, we will have a place."
The city will use $300,000 from the State Conservation Trust Fund to help purchase the vacant land at 3800 W. Alameda Ave., bordered by Alameda, West Nevada Place, South Osceola Street and South Newton Street.
The total project will cost $800,000 — $450,000 for land acquisition, $250,000 for environmental cleanup and $100,000 for site stabilization.
The city's office of economic development has allocated $500,000 from federal Community Development Block Grant funds for the project.
McGranahan said the city is in the final stages of negotiations to purchase the property.
In 2007, the block was home to 19-unit City View Mobile Home Park. The trailer park hit the radar of government officials after a complaint about an elderly person living in unsanitary conditions and "spraying herself with Raid to keep the bugs off."
City officials moved to close the trailer park that year after discovering numerous code violations.
The Denver City Council will meet in committee Wednesday to discuss the project.
The full council likely will take the matter up shortly after then.
"This is going to meet a huge need in that neighborhood," Lopez said.

(League positions before the weekend in brackets)
Sunday, October 6
Norwich manager Chris Hughton will delay naming his squad as he assesses the fitness of defender Sebastien Bassong who has been suffering from a hamstring injury. Midfielder Nathan Redmond (ankle) and defender Javier Garrido (thigh) are both fit and available after training this week. Striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel missed a couple of training sessions this week with a toe problem but should be fit to play a part.
Eden Hazard (ankle) is doubtful as Chelsea seek a first Premier League away win of the season. Hazard returned to training on Friday after missing the midweek win at Steaua Bucharest along with Kevin de Bruyne, who was not selected, and Marco van Ginkel, who is out for six months following knee surgery. Fernando Torres is out for three weeks with a knee injury but would have been suspended in any case.
Last season: Norwich 0 Chelsea 1, Chelsea 4 Norwich 1
Last five league matches: Norwich L W L L W; Chelsea W D L W D
Top scorers: Steven Whittaker, Gary Hooper & Johan Elmander (Norwich) 2; Ramires & Oscar (Chelsea) 3
Referee: Neil Swarbrick (Lancashire).
Our verdict: Norwich 2 Chelsea 1
Southampton defender Luke Shaw is a doubt due to illness. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is due to assess Shaw on Saturday before deciding whether the left-back will play any part in the game at St Mary's Stadium. The Saints boss has no other injury concerns as he goes in search of a third successive win.
Swansea captain Ashley Williams is set to miss a fourth successive game. The Wales defender has an ankle ligament injury, meaning Jordi Amat and Chico Flores will continue to form a partnership at centre-half. Full-back Angel Rangel is closing in on a return from an ankle injury of his own, but Pablo Hernandez's hamstring may not be risked by manager Michael Laudrup.
Last season: Swansea 0 Southampton 0, Southampton 1 Swansea 1
Last five league matches: Southampton D L D W W; Swansea L W D W L
Top scorers: Steven Davis, Gaston Ramirez & Rickie Lambert (Southampton) 2; Wilfried Bony & Miguel Michu (Swansea) 5
Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral).
Our verdict: Southampton 0 Swansea 1
Younes Kaboul will miss Tottenham's clash with West Ham on Sunday after sustaining an injury in the Europa League win at Anzhi. Plagued by knee injuries over the best part of 18 months, the Frenchman suffered a knock in the second half of Thursday's 2-0 win in Russia. Danny Rose (toe), Aaron Lennon (foot), Etienne Capoue (ankle) and Emmanuel Adebayor (illness) are not expected to return until after the international break.
West Ham midfielder Joe Cole could make his comeback from a five-week hamstring injury lay-off. The 31-year-old is likely to be on the bench, but striker Andy Carroll (heel) remains out. Defender George McCartney could make his first league appearance of the season following a knee injury.
Last season: West Ham 2 Tottenham 3, Tottenham 3 West Ham 1
Last five league matches: Tottenham W L W W D; West Ham D L D L L
Top scorers: Jermain Defoe (Tottenham) 6; Ravel Morrison (West Ham) 3
Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire).
Our verdict: Tottenham 3 West Ham 0
West Brom forward Saido Berahino may make his first league start after scoring in the win against Manchester United last weekend. Head coach Steve Clarke could be without strikers Victor Anichebe (groin), Shane Long (knee) and Nicolas Anelka (foot), leaving the door open for youngster Berahino. Midfielders James Morrison and Chris Brunt should also be available but Scott Sinclair (hamstring) is absent. Matej Vydra, Ben Foster, George Thorne and Zoltan Gera are ruled out.
Arsenal will be without defender Bacary Sagna after the France international suffered a hamstring problem which could sideline him for three weeks. Carl Jenkinson is set to come in, while Jack Wilshere is pressing for a recall after starting on the bench for the 2-0 midweek win over Napoli. Forward Theo Walcott (abdominal), Santi Cazorla (ankle), Yaya Sanogo (back), Lukas Podolski (hamstring), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Abou Diaby (both knee) are all still recovering.
Last season: West Brom 1 Arsenal 2, Arsenal 2 West Brom 0
Last five league matches: West Brom D L D W W; Arsenal W W W W W
Top scorers: Saido Berahino (West Brom) 5; Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal) 8
Referee: Lee Mason (Lancashire).

Body found at Chesterfield recycling plant
UPDATE: Man found in recycling lived 17 miles from plant
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) – Chesterfield Police are investigating after a man's body was discovered Friday morning at the TFC Recycling plant on Old Stage Road in Chester.
Chesterfield Police Capt. Chris Hensley said workers found the body under an awning at the plant. Employees were sorting through recyclables when they found the body.
Police say body was found near the pile of recycling you see in pic @CBS6 http://t.co/jIOxFNUnaR—
Jake Burns (@JakeBurnsCBS6) May 03, 2013
This plant receives recyclable material from across the state. Employees then sort the materials, pack them up, and ship them out to various buyers.
Police consider the man's death "suspicious" at this point. The Medical Examiner is working to determine the person's identity and cause of death.
In the 13 years the TFC plant has been open in Chester, Tad Phillips, general manager there, said this kind of incident has never happened before.
Several employees apparently saw the body when it fell out of a load of recyclables they were preparing to sort. One employee, who saw the decaying body, could only describe the sight of it as "bad stuff."
Phillips said they are helping employees cope with the "traumatic" situation, and that everyone at the plant is praying for the victim's family.
Cpt. Hensley said police would release the man's identity only once the next of kin has been notified.

Armando Siahaan
if you want to live in a better city, you have to do your part. After 20 years of being involved in various aspects of urban planning, Marco Kusumawijaya has come to believe this is the key to sustainable living.
"People keep taking advantage of Jakarta for their livelihood, but there's no investment flowing back into the city," said Kusumawijaya, a staunch critic of the government and its inability to protect the country's resources from being exploited. "Change will have to come from individuals eventually."
Putting his words into action, he launched an Web site, Rujak.org, last June to tie in with the 482nd anniversary of Jakarta. The site aims to serve as a venue for Jakarta's residents to share ideas on how to transform the city into a sustainable metropolis.
"There are a lot of initiatives among citizens that are not known by the public," Kusumawijaya said.
"I wanted to facilitate exchanges of initiatives, knowledge and experience among citizens to increase the speed of change."
The site features such articles as a collaborative housing community, a 10-year-old boy's first-hand encounter with the water conservationist responsible for rehabilitating the Pesanggrahan River and a story on a Pondok Indah resident who grows more than 30 plants that can be used either as food or for cosmetic purposes.
Kusumawijaya said giving back to the city should not be seen as a moral obligation.
"In the long run, you're actually giving back to your self, to the place you live," he said. "I am optimistic because I have encountered many people with great initiatives."
The Web site is the first of a four-pillar grand project. "Rujak is the permanent communication channel," he said.
Next, he plans to organize a conference where citizens can share ideas on how to improve the city. "I don't mean it to be a formal conference," he said. "It's more like a fair, [with] workshops on things that they're doing."
The third component is a print publication on Jakarta and its urban issues, and the last pillar of his plan is a collaborative exhibition showcasing an alternative vision of Jakarta's future, which he hopes would encourage residents to think about the city in a more creative way.
Rujak is not Kusumawijaya's first online project seeking to involve Indonesians in sustainable living. In 2001, he was part of the group that brought Green Map to Indonesia, having learned of the concept while on a visit to New York.
Green Map, established in 1995, is a mapmaking system that charts the ecological, social and cultural resources of a particular area.
"It basically works with the citizens of a neighborhood mapping their own environment," he said.
The system maps not only natural and cultural resources, but also business practices that are environmentally sustainable and organizations that promote green living.
"It is important for people to revisit, and get to know their neighborhood in a comprehensive way," Kusumawijaya said.
"The idea behind this is: if you know more, you can love more," he said. Green Map can also be used to voice concerns on neighborhood problems, which are often overlooked by urban planners, he said. "People should use Green Map to re-plan their neighborhood and make it more vibrant and sustainable."
Although Kusumawijaya's urban expertise is concentrated on Jakarta, his journey began elsewhere.
After getting his degree in architecture from Parahyangan Catholic University, in Bandung, in 1986, he spent two years teaching at Widya Mandira Catholic University in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. During this time, he completed a research study on a settlement in Belu district, which was published in Paul Oliver's acclaimed "Encyclopedia of Vernacular Architecture of the World."
Afterward, he pursued a master's degree in architectural engineering from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, concentrating mainly on urban planning with Jakarta as his main case study.
"My fascination in urban studies was not really a special case," he said. "The whole world had an interest in city studies back then, so it was kind of fashionable at the time."
Following his time in Belgium, Kusumawijaya began "writing and preaching" prolifically about Jakarta in major Indonesian publications such as Kompas and Tempo. His published writings have been compiled into two volumes, "Jakarta: Metropolis Tunggang-langgang" ("Jakarta: Helter Skelter Metropolis") in 2004 and "Kota, Rumah Kita" ("The City, Our Home") in 2006.
"I think that for a very long time, people became frustrated with Jakarta, but they didn't know how to articulate it," he said. "From how I see it, people started to feel like I'm writing on their behalf."
His writing also brought him to the attention of others concerned with urban issues, both at home and abroad.
"I started to get invitations from different groups of people to discuss urban issues," he said. He spoke at the "Cities, Cultures, Languages" international symposium in Germany last year and has received a number of fellowships from international institutions.
Last year, he spent two months at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture in Los Angeles, and next September he will fly to Japan to attend the Asian Leaders Fellowship Program endowed by the International House of Japan and the Japan Foundation.
Kusumawijaya also participated in the Urban Poor Consortium-led project for the reconstruction of 23 villages in Aceh destroyed by the 2004 tsunami. The project in 2008 won an Indonesian Institute of Architects Award and a Dubai International Award for Best Practices.
In 2006, Kusumawijaya took what seemed like an unusual turn in his career — he became chairman of the Jakarta Arts Council.
He said that since the fall of Suharto in 1998, artists and arts activists had invited him to talk about Jakarta, and they were the ones who nominated him for the position.
But Kusumawijaya was never a stranger to the art world. In 2004, he launched a project called Imagining Jakarta, a collaborative effort by people from various disciplines, including architects and artists, which aimed to envision the future of the city.
"The city had been planned too technically, done by technocrats who don't have much understanding of a richer relationship taking place in city planning," he said. "It has to do with the limited perspective of the disciplines involved in city planning."
He said that urban planning should no longer be field exclusive to urban planners, but that it should engage artists, sociologists, culturalists and other experts from different fields.
"Studying the city should not be only for the sake of planning the city," he said, "but also to understand the city. That's how I started to learn about the city from different angles."
Kusumawijaya's presence on the Jakarta Arts Council was evident during this year's Jakarta Biennale. With "Arena" as its theme, the arts festival was an exploration of existing spaces in the city using the arts as a medium.
"There's a general interest among artists and intellectuals in the relationship between arts and the city," he said. "All of us have the same idea to bring art to public places. Art should play a role to humanize urban spaces."
After Kusumawijaya's tenure on the council ends this year, he said he would focus more on his Rujak Web site and on encouraging Jakarta's residents to give back to the city.
Sustainable living is not impossible to achieve, he said, and there is no shortage of ideas, energy or funding for the task.
Behind all of Kusumawijaya's projects lies a simple goal: "I just want to live in a better place."

Writer as Reader Workshops
Workshop is cancelled. Discovering Voice: Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own
December 7, 2013
In the last few pages of A Room of One's Own, Woolf encourages her readers to "write all kinds of books, hesitating at no subject however trivial or however vast." As teachers, we know that Woolf's classic text has inspired generations of writers to find their voice and story. Our students, however, are often bewildered by Woolf's stream-of-consciousness style as well as her many references to British writers they may not recognize. But if we enter Woolf's text as a piece of writing about writing and the magic of discovering voice, students may find another entry point for understanding her work. Women of color writers such as Gloria Anzaldúa, Edwidge Danticat, and Toni Morrison have each written about the process of finding voice and a room of their own as well. For example, Anzaldúa grapples with "mestiza consciousness" in the same way that Woolf finds definition for the "androgynous mind." Danticat writes "dangerously" as a Haitian immigrant in the same way that Woolf crosses borders in male spaces. Morrison challenges our memory and imagination in the same way that Woolf plays with both. For all of these writers, including Woolf, encountering identity is central to their work as well. In this workshop, we'll re-discover the dynamism of Woolf's text alongside writers who are still asking the same questions she did, all within different cultural contexts, time periods, and political circumstances. Using writing-to-read practices, we'll gain new understandings—personal, imaginative, and analytical—about the life of the writer's mind finding its way on the page.

An occlusive device includes a hollow cylindrical element which can be twisted axially in order to create a constricted region. The device also includes a body which can be deformed by transverse compression and which is applied against the inner wall of the aforementioned cylindrical element, the body having a through hole along the axis of the cylindrical element.
1. A vascular occlusion device comprising:
an occlusive device having a hollow cylindrical element (1) that twisted to its axis to create a striction zone, comprising:
a transverse compression deformable body (2) applied to the inner wall of the cylindrical element (1),
comprising a through hole (3) according to axis (4) of the cylindrical element (1), and
the device further comprising two end parts, surrounding the cylindrical element (1) and whose relative angular position determines the torsion of the cylindrical element (1), said end parts possessing means of attachment to the wall of a vessel,
the attachment means are expanding elements (5 and 6),
wherein the deformable body (2) and the cylindrical element (1) are distinct parts, and
the deformable body has a thickness greater than the thickness of the cylindrical element.

13. The vascular occlusion device according to
14. The vascular occlusion device according to
15. The device according to
The present invention relates to an occlusive device for medical or surgical use, and to a vascular occlusion device and a valve for surgical or medical instruments.
The invention will find applications, in particular, in the manufacture and use of occlusive prostheses for all types of vessels in humans or animals, prostheses that may also include transparietal and endovascular devices.
The invention also relates to the field of surgical or medical instruments and in particular introducer type instruments that may be used during endovascular surgery, including percutaneous and/or transparietal operations, which require the presence of obturation elements able to ensure that the introducer is sealed.
The quality of the occlusion is a constant problem according to the current state of the art, both in the field of vascular prostheses and for the creation of valves.
Document WO-A-0219926 relates to a vascular occlusion device comprised of two expanding elements for attachment by support against two portions of the vessel's wall, along with an intermediate section that can be twisted to an adjustable degree according to the relative position of the two expanding elements. A maximum striction area is thus created, defining the degree of occlusion.
According to this document, total or partial obturation is achieved by means of the twisting deformation of an element.
This technique provides a great ease of intervention and the ability to fine tine the degree of obturation.
There is, however, a need to further improve the sealing provided by this type of device.
The present invention provides a solution to this by appended a second occlusion element that acts in collaboration with the twist deformable element.
In a preferred embodiment, the invention also possesses the advantage of offering additional tightness means in the form of seals that can be applied to the wall of a vessel.
Still advantageously, for the creation of a vascular occlusion device, the invention allows both the constitution of an element able to provide obturation and guiding through cooperation with a removable guide present in the device during the procedure.
Other purposes and advantages shall appear during the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is nevertheless not limiting.
The present invention relates to an occlusive device for medical or surgical use comprising a hollow cylindrical element that can be twisted along its axis to create a striction zone. It comprises a transverse compression deformable body, applied to the inner wall of the cylindrical element and possessing a opening oriented according to the axis of the cylindrical element.
According to preferred variants, this device is such that:
The invention also relates to a vascular occlusion device comprising an occlusive device according to the invention.
This vascular occlusion device is advantageously embodied with the following additional properties:
The invention also relates to a valve for surgical or medical instruments comprising a closeable passage and characterised by the fact that it comprises an occlusive device according to the invention.
In a preferred embodiment, this valve is such that the cylindrical element can be twisted by means of two rings, each integral to one end of the cylindrical element.
The appended drawings are given as an example and do not limit the invention. They represent only one embodiment of the invention and allow it to be easily understood.
The occlusive device according to the invention can be used in various medical or surgical fields. The remainder of the description shall outline more specifically an embodiment applying the occlusive device to the creation of a vascular occlusion device, along with an embodiment of the invention applying the occlusive device to valves for surgical or medical instruments.
In general terms, the occlusive device comprises a hollow cylindrical element that can be twisted according to its axis, this deformation creating a striction zone advantageously widest towards the middle of the length of the hollow cylindrical element 1, although this is not limiting.
The cylindrical element can be twisted by modifying the relative angular positions of its ends.
Furthermore, the occlusive device comprises a transverse compression deformable body 2, show more precisely in
In a preferred embodiment, the deformable body 2 is furthermore attached to said inner wall of the cylindrical element 1 in such a manner as to follow this latter's deformation.
The body 2 further comprises a through hole 3 along the axis 4 of the cylindrical element 1.
The hole 3 offers a residual passage that can be closed to achieve obturation. In open position, the hole 3 allows the passage of fluid or solid elements such as long objects in the case of an application to valves for introducer type surgical instruments. Concerning application to the vascular occlusion device, the hole 3 is used to receive a guide 7 that can be used when manipulating the occlusion device during the surgical procedure.
Different materials can be used for constructing the body 2, and in particular a polymer material, presenting, or not, shape memory properties. Other materials that can undergo transverse compression deformation during torsion of the hollow cylindrical element 1 may be used.
Still in a preferable manner and in reference to the drawings, the invention's occlusive device possesses a hollow circular cross section, in particular concerning the cylindrical element 1 and the deformable body 2.
The following describes in a more precise manner an embodiment of the occlusive device for a vascular occlusion device application.
In this context, reference is made to
This release occurs through a sleeve 9 that surrounds the whole device prior to implementation by the practitioner. The cylindrical element 1 and expanding elements 5 and 6 are held within the sleeve 9 in resting position.
During implantation, the practitioner progressively removes the sleeve 9 in such a manner as to release an initial expanding element to apply it against the wall of a vessel 10.
This removal can be achieved using a push element in the form of a long, hollow cylindrical element appropriate, by virtue of its width, to be applied to the edge of the occlusive device to exercise a force contrary to removal of the sleeve 9, thus immobilising the occlusive device during removal.
At this time, the vascular occlusion device is partially positioned, but expanding element 5 is still in the sleeve 9. Rotation of the sleeve 9 by the practitioner twists cylindrical element 1, thus creating a striction zone, as represented in
When the desired degree of striction is achieved (this can be easily adjusted by means of the amplitude of rotation implemented by the practitioner), the other expanding element 5 is released from the sleeve 9 by sliding it out (again using a push device if necessary). This release deploys the expanding element and applies it to the vessel wall 10.
In this context, the sheath 9 receives, in its inner volume, the assembly comprised of the cylindrical element 1 and the expanding elements 5 and 6. The cylindrical element 1 further receives, in its inner volume, for application onto its inner wall, a deformable body 2 with a through hole 3 along the device's axis.
The through hole 3 is itself able to receive a guide 7 during manipulations. In a preferred embodiment, a sheath 8 is inserted between the inner wall of the through hole 3 and the outer surface of the guide 7. The sheath 8, made for example from a metallic material, prevents any deterioration of the body 2 during guide 7 movements and confers rigidity on the assembly. The guide 7 and the sheath 8 are designed to be removable in such a manner as to be removed by the practitioner during the operation, prior to twisting.
The combination of these constituents is more specifically represented in
During twisting of the cylindrical element 1, the body 2 is compressed according to the direction of the arrows shown in
By further emphasizing the torsion stress applied to the cylindrical element 1, the transverse compression of the body 2 is increased until complete obturation of the holes 2 is achieved. This situation is represented in
Preferably, the seal achieved by means of the occlusive device integrated into the vascular occlusion device should be supported by additional means.
More specifically, a seal 11, applied to the external periphery of one of the expanding elements 6 may be used. An O ring seal, for example, may be used, made from a sufficiently deformable material to follow the deformation of element 6 during its deployment.
The seal 11 is applied, through this deployment, to the wall of the vessel 10.
Still in a complementary manner to an occlusive device, the vascular occlusion device may include a web 12, as shown in
When deploying the expanding element 6, the web 12 follows the corolla deformation.
Below we describe more specifically a second embodiment of the occlusive device of the invention for an application to valves for surgical and medical instruments.
In particular,
For this purpose, the valve 15 comprises a shell 18 able to receive, in its inner volume, an occlusive device comprising a cylindrical element 1.
The valve 15 furthermore comprises a proximal end with an opening 19 for passing elements during introduction, along with an additional opening 21.
The distal end 20 of the valve 15 is able to receive an additional valve element or a simple angular control element.
According to this application, the cylindrical element 1 is surrounded by rings 16 and 17, whose relative angular position can be adjusted in such a manner as to ensure the twisting of element 1.
Though not represented, element 1 receives, in its inner volume, a deformable body 2.
According to the example, rotation of ring 17, caused by manipulating the distal end 20 of valve 15, alters the relative angular position of rings 16 and 17 and causes twisting of element 1. This twisting deformation causes a transverse compression of the body 2 due to the resulting striction.
It is thus possible to totally or partially open or close through hole 3 by altering the position of ring 17, and this while ring 16 is fixed.
Of course, this embodiment is only an example and other variants may be considered.
In particular, ring 16 may be free to rotate, while ring 17 could be fixed. Furthermore, the rings 16 and 17 may additionally be moved together or apart, for example by means of a helicoidal runner type link between the housing 18 of the valve 15 and the ring 17.
In the context of this application, the cylindrical element 1 comprises a sealed wall and may be made, in particular, from a woven (or not) textile material, or from a polymeric material such as P.T.F.E. (Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene).

Image 1-28 is a drawing showing the woman doing her own perineal massage.
NOTE: Avoid the urethral opening (at the top of the vagina where you pass water) when massaging. DO NOT perform perineal massage if you have herpes or any other infections are present. The massage can spread and possibly inflame the infection or outbreak. If using oil try to keep most of it on the perineum, rather than inside the vagina. Oil in the vagina can upset the normal balance of microorganisms, making you prone to thrush or gardnerella. Water-soluble lubricant inside the vagina is fine.
During the gentle stretch use your 'out' breath to help you relax your pelvic floor and perineum, allowing it to 'give'. Your 'in' breath through the nose should be deep. Your 'out' breath through the mouth should be slow. Imagine taking the breath down, right down to the perineum and then slowly releasing your 'out' breath as you do the down and out motion of the stretch.

The Course
It's a 10K (6.2 miles) with lots of the
entertainment and excitement of the Half!
Not up to the 13.1 miles just yet? Or maybe your legs aren't going to be quite recovered from the marathon or half marathon you have scheduled yourself to run a few weeks before the Alamo Run Fest? Well, you can still be part of the
ARF ''happenings"
with great entertainment and an exciting finish for the Alamo 10,000 too! It will be a fun and challenging 6.1 miles through the streets of downtown San Antonio.
Starting in the shadow of the majestic Alamodome, the Alamo 10,000 is run on a mostly flat course through downtown, passing by numerous historic landmarks before finishing inside the Alamodome. Fluid replenishment stations will be set up at regular intervals throughout the course (see course map). The Alamo 10,000 is chipped timed. Event will be sanctioned by USA Track & Field
(sanction pending)
San Antonio loves champions… and you're a one of them for simply going through what it takes to prepare and step up to the starting line.
For safety reasons and the fact that USATF insurance does not cover bicycles, skateboards, scooters, pets, roller skates, inline skates or roller blades, they will NOT be permitted on the course. Baby joggers and strollers will be allowed however you will be asked to start at the back of the 'pack', insure your child is secured in your stroller/jogger and not run/walk with others in such a way as to impede other participants on the course.
The 10K course will remain open for 2 hours and 30 minutes, from when the last runner has crossed the START line during the official Start. Any runners starting the race after the official start, will be subject to the course time restrictions based on the course closure time from the official start If (once finalized) a portion of the course overlaps with the last section of the Alamo Half, then it may remain open longer than other non-overlapping sections. The rolling closure of the non-overlapping sections of the course is based on an approximate pace of 18 minutes per mile.
2016 Maps will be posted here once routes are finalized.

The Scots Who Made the Modern World Episode 1 of 3
The medical science of the modern world owes a great deal to the achievements of Scottish doctors. From pioneering work on diseases like malaria and tuberculosis; to the development of wonder drugs like penicillin; to revolutionary breakthroughs in pregnancy, cloning and stem cell research, their influence is everywhere.
This programme looks at the most significant of these developments over the course of the last three centuries, charting the influence doctors like Alexander Fleming, James Young Simpson, Ronald Ross, and Ian Donald have had on the health of the world, and asking why Scotland has developed such a rich and fascinating medical history. Contributors include Professor Tom Devine.

You can request hydrant installation, removal, relocation, locking, unlocking, or spray cap fitting.
To request the relocation, installation or removal of a hydrant, send a letter to:
NYC Department of Environmental Protection
Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations
59-17 Junction Boulevard
Flushing, NY 11373
The letter must include where the hydrant is currently located, where you want it moved if you are requesting relocation, and the reason for your request.
If a hydrant has a history of being opened illegally, you can ask the City to put a lock on it. Once a hydrant is locked, only someone from the Fire Department or the Department of Environmental Protection can open it.
To have a hydrant unlocked, you must first get a permit from a Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) borough office. Once you have the permit, you must provide 311 with the permit number, your phone number, and the hydrant location, so that DEP can open the hydrant.
You can ask at your local firehouse to have a hydrant opened and fitted with a spray cap for recreational use. You must be over 18, show ID, and fill out a form. The firehouse will schedule a time to turn the hydrant on and off.
The City tests the flow of each fire hydrant twice a year. Only constructors of large buildings require flow tests to determine if water pressure is adequate. Requests are not accepted from the general public.
The City paints fire hydrants on a regular maintenance schedule and does not accept painting requests.

The best part of this defense is the line. We don't need any more there. That's like saying we should draft another receiver with our first pick. Linebackers and cornerbacks. Unless the Saints are going after Dan Connor in the draft, they need to do everything they can do to get Zach Thomas. They don't have to sign him to a long term contract, and he can make an immediate difference. I know everyone wants to draft superstars every year, but with an offense with this kind of ability, the defense has to get much better, right now.

Descripción (El texto procesado por OCR puede contener errores)
Patented Jan. 29, 1946 www] UNITED STATES PATENT fOFFICEy c CANDLE HOLDER Russell L. Gould, Shirley Center, Mass.V vApplication March 28, 1944, Serial No. 528,419
(c1. fav-2s) i 8 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in candle holders and the object thereof is to Drovide a holder which will insure the maintenance of the candle in vertical position until it is consumed.
Usually candles are formed either by casting the candle in substantially cylindrical moulds or by repeatedly dipping the wick vertically into a melted body of suitable material from which the candle is to be made, thereby providing the socalled dipped candles. candles thedownward ow of the material during the repeated dipping operation produces a candle of conoidal form because of theV downward flow of the material as it hardens so that the base of the candle is of considerably larger diameter than the upper portion thereof. Furthermore, the diameter of the dipped candles varies in accordance with the number of dips which produce the candle and also with respect to the degree of uidity of the molten material.
The diameter of the lower ends of different candles, whether cast or dipped, varies considerably, and seldom any is found which snugly ts the socket of the usual candle holder or candlestick having a head providedwith the socket to receive the candle. In order therefore to insure the holding of the candle in vertical position so that it will not wobble or drip it has been necessary either to wrap the lower end of a candle which is too small to fit the socket or to trim by hand the lower end of the candle, such as a dipped candle, which is too large to t the socket. i
The object of the present invention is to provide a candle holder having a socket provided 'with means operable by rotation of the candle about its axis, While the end thereof is being inserted into the holder, to trim it and thereafter to retain the candle in upright position.
A further object of the invention is to provide a candle holder having a socket the wall of which is provided with one or more inwardly extending ribs provided with an angular edge or edges operable by rotation of the candle about its axis when the end of a standard or oversized candle is inserted into the socket to trim said end and thereafter to retain the candlein vertical position and-which rib may extend suiilciently inwardly properly to engage and support an undersized candle in vertical position.
A further object of the invention is to provide a candle holder' having a socket provided with an inwardly extending rib or ribs inclined circumerentially with respect to the axis of the candle and operable when the candle is'rotated In thus making dipped f about its axis whilebeing inserted therein not only to trim the candle b ut to draw the candle downwardly thereby progressively trimmingl the candle and finally holding the candle invertical position.
Another object of the invention is to provide a candle holderhavinga socket comprising trimming mechanism which will produce a shoulder to engage the flat upper face of the socket member thereby producing an additional circumferential support to insure retention of the candle in vertical position.
These and other objects and features of the invention will more fully appear from the followingdescription and the accompanying drawing and will be particularly pointed out in the claims.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawing as applied to a simplified form of candle holder, but it will be understood that the socket member of the candle embodying the invention may be employed in a usual type of candlestick having at its upper end a suitablesocket member to receive and support the candle. y
In the drawing:v l Figjl is a plan view of a simplified form'foi Candlestick embodyingv the invention; Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2 2, Fig. 1, the lower end portion of the candle being shown in elevation Fig. 3 is a plan view of a modiiied form of l invention'comprising four ribs each having cutting edges yoperable to trim the candle when rotated in either direction during itsv insertion into the socket;
Fig. 4 is` a similar view illustrating a candle holder having three ribs with cutting edges adapted to trim the candle and so constructed as to form a triangular support for the candle;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a candle holder in which the cutting ribs are circumferentially inclined 4with respect to the vertical axis of the socket; and,
Fig. 6 is a modiedv form of the invention Acomprising a flat base with three concentrically spaced members extending upwardly therefrom with concavely curved inner faces the vertical edges of which are adapted totrim the candle.
The construction illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 comprises a preferably circular base I having a central upwardly extending socket member 2 provided with a flat upper face 3 and having therein a concentric socket 4 preferably butpnot necessarily tapering downwardly to conoidal iorm.A The wall of the socket member 3 is provided with an inwardly extending rib having a cutting edge 6 Vadapted when 'the candle is rotated about its axis in a clockwise direction,`
desirably convergesslightly downwardly so that the lower end of the candle is trimmed to. conical,
tapered form thereby enabling candles of smaller A diameter than thefsocket to bee'properlyl trimmed andretained in vertical position.
In the construction shown in Fig. 3 the socket member `2i is provided. with four inwardly' ex.-`
tendine` convergingly inclined ribs l-. equally spaced apart and haring inner races. lil` concentricwith the. axis of the socket.` so that each; rib is provided with two cutting edges I2 and L3 adapted to. trim; the; candle as it. is inserted whether rotated ina clockwise or; counterclockwise; direction.. In this construction the. ribs; with the: cutting edges t2 and I3 are produced at the intersection of segmental equally spacedvertical circular recesses; M which merge into the circular or conoidal socket formed by the: concave faces of.. the ribs.
from a solid; block. by' first boring the; central socket a-ndn thereafter boring; eccentric holes or channels about; centers suitablyy spaced from the periphery of the central socket, orA oli courseV the holder may be formed by casting in a suitable4 mould.

Promotional Golf Balls by the Dozen
Promotional golf balls by the dozen are an excellent gift idea for sponsors of outings or hole sponsors, giveaways at seasonal trade shows, freebies for customers, and more. Share a marketing message and a dozen mulligans by giving away promotional golf balls by the dozen. Promotional efforts are always easier when you come up with giveaways that recipients will be likely to use. Golf is an extremely popular sport and continues to grow in popularity. You can appeal to people's love of the sport and even their sense of competitiveness with a gift that takes the focus off of the work you do and puts it more in a social context.
Great Giveaways for Golf Outings
Many schools, youth athletic leagues, and other organizations hold golf outings in the summer to raise funds for their various endeavors. They usually ask local businesses to come in and sponsor a hole, a closest to the pin contest, or some other aspect of the outing. If you are a hole sponsor at an outing, don't just be content with some unmanned banner on the 17th tee. Make sure you have a physical presence at the outing and have a ready supply of golf balls by the dozen for participants. This is more than just a charity event or a fundraiser for a worthy cause. It is also a veiled marketing opportunity.
At these events, you are not selling products or services so much as you are selling yourself. Show potential customers your face and shake their hands. Talk about their putting, complain about your awful handicap, then send them along with a box of promotional golf balls by the dozen. Aside from being great opportunities to give back to the community, these events are also promotional opportunities for you to get out there and make yourself visible in the public eye outside of the sphere of work.
Summer Freebies for Customers
There aren't very many people who would complain about being handed free golf balls by the dozen. At the very least, they can be a conversation piece and a way for you to break the ice a bit with potential customers. If you run a campaign in which you offer promotional golf balls by the dozen with every written estimate, it will accomplish a few things for you. First, you'll probably get more calls than you would otherwise. Again, no one wants to turn down free golf balls by the dozen.
But second and perhaps more importantly, an offer advertising something as out there as promotional golf balls by the dozen will pique people's curiosity about you. You can use your meeting with them to introduce yourself as a person and not just someone who wants their money. Golf balls by the dozen are just small promotional gifts that do not cost much and that will not sell a job on their own. The majority of promotional pressure will still rest on your shoulders. But promotional golf balls by the dozen can be a gimmick if nothing else to open up a more casual line of communication and help you establish rapport with prospective customers.
Promotional Opportunities by the Dozen
Golf balls by the dozen will not make or break your company. No small promotional campaign can. All these things can do is provide you with an inroad to reach people. Whether it's for an outing or for some larger themed marketing campaign, this idea has some real bounce. Order promotional golf balls by the dozen and do more to get your marketing efforts up to par.

Legendary Stud of Yore – Chase Hunter
Mustached blond topman Chase Hunter is one of those pornstars who manage to be cast as the "daddy" role prematurely, but he's really grown into it magnificently. His first appearance in Falcon Studios original Basic Plumbing launched both his career AND the famous trilogy of the same name. Chase Hunter not only starred in all 3 Basic Plumbing movies, but also graced all 3 DVD covers (sharing the 3rd with co-star Roman Heart).
Despite being named "Best newcomer of 1993" Chase Hunter was never the sort to let himself become an overexposed (ha ha) flavor-of-the-month. Even at the height of his popularity, he shot no more than 2 films per year between his debut in 1993 and twink-next-door Brennan Foster's not-so-subtle seduction of the beefy blond hunk in 1998′s Basic Plumbing 2 (and none at all in 1995 or 1997).
Chase Hunter wasn't seen again onscreen until 2003 when Falcon lured him into a well received comeback with a free trip to scenic Hawaii and a poolside shot at the hot and hungry holes of Lane Fuller and Trent Atkins in their sun and surf epic… Drenched Part 1 and Part 2.
Between 2003-2004 Chase Hunter also revisited the coupling with Drenched, Part 1: Soaking it In co-star Lane Fuller for a steamy rematch in Colt Reload and shot yet another hot Falcon scene, this time with Tommy Brandt in Tommy's Tale.
In 2007 Chase Hunter returned to Falcon Studios again to with Basic Plumbing 3 where he treated viewers to TWO, count them TWO scenes – one with Roman Heart and another with Erik Rhodes. He was inducted into the GayVN Hall of Fame in 2007 almost 15 years after his first appearance, and still smokin hot. He may not have that many scenes out there when compared to some of his contemporaries, but that might be because he doens't bother to show up unless there is some top notch ass lined up.
One major flaw in that theory is the fact that Chase Hunter is also a popular escort. He was nominated in the 2010 "Best Mature Escort 40+" category of Rentboy.com's "Hookie Awards." Chase got into the escort side of things years after his advent into porn. The first ad he put out was in revenge for a boyfriend hiring an escort, but he must have liked something about it as he said in a 2010 interview that he worked 2 to 5 times a week. But I was unable to find his Rentboy profile.
Chase Hunter has been absent from or small scrreens again for a few years but has said he'll be back in interviews. If he continues to age well, I'm sure as long as the porn industry needs hot daddies to plow twinks, he'll be able to make a "comeback" flick or two whenever he wants. As far as I'm concerned, with his retro 70′s appeal, he was a Legendary Stud of Yore his first day on a porn set.
As always, below you'll find a filmography index of DVD covers linking to on-demand and purchasable DVD's as well as to buy the Chase Hunter Supercock for those who want to feel closer to Chase.
