Jesse James Is a Dead Man -- TV Review
Spike's "Jesse James Is a Dead Man" is probably the most boring show ever made about a guy trying to kill himself.
The problem isn't necessarily the stunts undertaken by host Jesse James, who in his spare time from running the West Coast Choppers bike shop likes to drive fast and live recklessly. The real issue is that the series goes to such pains to sell itself as edgy and dangerous that it comes off as anything but. After every breathlessly narrated setup that posited whether Jesse would indeed finally die (spoiler: he doesn't), I couldn't help but hear Homer Simpson shouting, "To the extreme!"
Each episode in the series will involve Jesse undergoing a potentially lethal stunt just because. In the opener, Jesse has his sights set on the nitro bike, an honest-to-God rocket-fueled motorcycle that actually killed a buddy of his in an accident a few years earlier. But one of the show's weaknesses is that James' training, prep and eventual stunt are dragged out over an hour, meaning he winds up doing a lot of tangential things that aren't related to the main event. To get accustomed to higher G forces, James rides in an F-16; to know what it feels like to be in a fire, he's immolated while wearing a special suit; and to see what an accident looks like, well, they just blow up a bike and mannequin. Even James doesn't pretend there's any scientific value to that one: "Come on, we're just blowing shit up. That's what we're doing."
James eventually gets to ride the nitro bike, and after a few false starts, he makes it through the quarter-mile run. That's it. Roll credits. The point of the show isn't to be suspenseful, or even to be entertaining. It's just another Spike show where stuff gets blowed up real good. As such, it's hard to get too worked up over its mediocrity. It's not groundbreaking reality TV, but it's also not the offensive dreck usually associated with the genre. It's a dull but harmless hour of explosions, ideal for background noise while doing laundry, hungover. James would probably approve.

My friend Drew, a Disney cast member in Orlando, started a blog. Drew is focused on connected systems development lately. His first post on BizTalk 2006 R2 and WCF Fault Messages was really interesting and quite well written. However, I really loved the latest post, Unity lifetime managers and WCF integration.
When I first heard of the work that the guys at Disney were doing around Unity and WCF, I will admit that I didn't quite understand the benefit. Then Scott Densmore, one of the p&p members that created Unity and now an architect at Disney, explained it to me. Unity is all about dependency injection, which ends up being quite a nice fit for WCF. This allows you to create mocks for your service implementation, enabling unit testing of the services.
There are quite a number of resources turning up across the web on Unity and WCF, and the work that Drew and Scott have been doing looks really cool. Go check out Drew's post on WCF and Unity lifetime managers.

Very cute! jro from NJ on 05/10/2014
I had been looking for a pouf that would go well with our eclectic living room for some time. I wanted something that looked substantial, and could serve as a foot rest or extra seating. When I saw this came in a turquoise/blue color, I knew I found the one, and was sold. Some reviews said that it is not sturdy enough to use as extra seating, but I disagree. The pouf is very dense (and much heavier than you would think). It loses it's cube shape a bit as it settles down...but it's a POUF! There are many other types of ottomans, and benches that are made out of materials that will hold their shape as a perfect box forever. This is a different look. To be clear, I have had it in my house for about two weeks (it's been sat on a few times already), and it is still very much a square. It's just a bit more relaxed looking. One thing to note is that when you first get it, it will smell. I don't know what the smell is, but it is pretty strong. I sprayed it with some fabric freshener, and put it on our porch to air out for a day. When we brought it back in, there was still a faint smell, but it went away within another day or two. I think I sprayed it one or two more times. Either way, it hasn't been an issue since. Just don't be alarmed if it smells when you unwrap it. It will go away. Very happy with my purchase. If you are into this look, it's a great buy.

Great for seating SAP from Wheeling, WV on 11/11/2014
While I agree with the other reviews they are a bit itchy its not enough for me to return them. Much sturdier than I thought they would be and can be used for seating, ottoman or decoration. I would recommend for average size person to sit on. I only gave this a 4 star because I was disappointed in the scroll part. It is more of a dirty white/tan than whitish as shown on the pictures. There was a musty smell to them when they were unwrapped but haven't noticed it since the 2nd day. I didn't use anything as others suggested.

Not quite square Donna from Westbrook, ME on 07/28/2013 – Verified Buyer
It is exactly what I was looking for. Very high quality, however it is still misshapen and somewhat crooked. It is hard to readjust because of the thickness but I am hopeful. It also is very difficult to move as it is wool and does not slide well on carpet. It has to be picked up to move and is quite heavy. I do love it and it looks great in my living room.

Great deal, great quality Shera from New York, NY on 03/04/2015 – Verified Buyer
I got the slate blue pouf which was priced at $60 at the time of purchase. What an amazing deal for the quality of the product! The other color options were priced a bit higher (not sure why), so I got lucky that the slate blue was the color I would have ordered regardless. The only reason I gave it 4 stars out of 5 is because the material is a bit scratchy on bare skin, but other than that I love it!

Very happy Tara from Rosemount, MN on 03/03/2015 – Verified Buyer
This pouf is exactly as described. The color is as pictured (I got the blue). It's a muted blue-ish. The fabric is quite scratchy...might not be as comfy in the summer & bare legs. I'm using it as an ottoman. I think it's PERFECT for the price I paid ($60). The other colors were MUCH more $$$. I don't think it would be worth hundreds of dollars, but for what I paid, I'm thrilled. :) Very well made. Fabric design is lined up at all corners. Looks very durable so far.

He was crying when he left. He said It had to be, us away. Dementions apart but he would do anythin to change our destinies. He would never forget me. And no one could make him forget. Not even time. Never ever. No force. Not even death. He could overcome that. He could never forget her. He could not die. Silver and sonic could. He would never forget her. His finger tips parted hers and she died in her mind. She could not remember him after death. She tryed to memorize everything about him. Trying to keep hold on them. His Deep crimson eyes. His rare smile he only unleashed when he was around her. His kindness to her feelings and dreams. She could not Frown around him unless she saw a stiff who tryed to take her away her. Her laugh made his heart melt. He cherished every moment because he knew she could not stay. She loved it when he would whisper i love you in her ear. She knew he could not stay either. She hated that detail.

18.104.22.168.1.4high temperature resistant concrete
How can we make concrete resistant to very high temperatures (hundreds of degrees) ? Can addition of nano particles help in this case?
deepika goparaju
Certainly you could use high aluminous cement concrete with a variety of different aggregate types. With respect to increasing the working temperatures and extending the service life of portland cement concrete, there has been some work published on the positive results of vacumn dewatering the freshly placed concrete. I would suspect that the addition of nano particles would also help in this case, but have no specific knowledge of their application here.
James Mross
can the use of thermal barrier coatings(yttria-stabilized zirconia ) on aggregates be useful to make the concrete resistant to high temperatures? Can these coatings bond with cement properly?
deepika goparaju
Clever idea Deepika! It might well be worth the trials. While I don't have any expereience with yttria-stabilized zirconia or any other coating on the aggregate for that matter, it might have potential and could offer very interesting results. Obviously there would not be any chemical bond between paste and the coated aggregate, but in refactory applications, that wouldn't be an issue anyway. Your interest would be in the ceramic and mechanical bond. Acting as a thermal barrier for the aggregate could help. Have you considered using crushed and sized high-alumina ingots as the aggregate? That would preclude or reduce much of the differential thermal movement between aggregate and paste.
James Mross
What temperatures exactly? And how much repetition of thermal shock? Our admixture has been proven to make concrete highly heat resistant/survivable. One test I've participated in took identical mix design cubes into a high temp oven. The untreated concrete destructed at just over 200 degrees celsius and the treated concrete cube survived at the oven's maximum of 460 degrees celsius. Is that sufficient?
George Clark
The fastest way to make concrete fire resistant is to make it inherently dry, free of moisture.
This is a fascinating topic. What is the 'high' temperature you refer to? The Kings Cross underground fires reached over 600 deg C. Lower than the point at which concrete starts to melt
The cause of destruction of concrete in very high temperature fires is the cause of the other 10 mechanisms of destruction of reinforced concrete. Water. In a fire of over 100deg C, moisture that is normally trapped within all normal concrete rapidly turns to super heated steam, the expansion spalls off cover concrete with it's relatively low tensile strength, exposing deeper concete to the same explosive destruction.
The less moisture trapped in the concrete, the lower the internal explosive expansion, the less destruction, the longer the protection to internal steel reinforcing.
In a large fire in Bangkok, a podium shopping centre was destroyed and required substantial repair to the inner floors and columns. But the podium roof deck itself, which used a hydrophobic (HPI type) admixture to the structural concrete to eliminate 'waterproofing', was unscathed with only one crack caused by building movement during the fire, requiring simple filling to reinstate waterproof integrity of the podium roof.
There was insufficient water/moisture in the podium roof deck to allow for explosive destructive spalling.
The addition of plastic fibres to the concrete mix, which melt and provide exit pathways for superheated steam, also seem to have a protective effect for fire exposed concretes.

I setup 2way ssl with Camel and CXF using the http conduit element etc. I make a webservice call to an external party. All certificates are correctly installed (incoming traffic is succesfull, this is configured in Tomcat). After this post about secure renegotiation I finally received a response from the other party: HTTP response 403, forbidden.
I've been debugging with javax.net.debug=all and this excellent explanation. I can see in the logging that a secure connection is succesfully setup:

Freemantle wants to intervene in lawsuit between Anderson County and Preston
Freemantle wants to intervene in lawsuit between Anderson County and Preston
ANDERSON - Upstate resident Rick Freemantle, still pursuing his lawsuit aimed at getting back a $1.1 million severance package awarded to former Anderson County administrator Joey Preston, has asked to intervene in any settlement talks between the county and Preston in a related case.
Anderson County lost its own lawsuit aimed at getting the money when Judge Roger Couch of Spartanburg ruled May 3 in favor of Preston on all counts of a case that accused the former administrator of fraud and ethics violations. The county has asked Couch to reconsider that decision, but has also authorized its lawyers to "negotiate the parameters of a settlement" with Preston. An item on the Anderson County Council's agenda for Tuesday night indicates that there could be settlement talks and includes the possibility of a closed-door meeting for that discussion.
In Freemantle's lawsuit, he contends that Preston's severance package, approved Nov. 18, 2008, should be declared invalid because it was voted on without adequate public notice. He argues that public notice was required by the Freedom of Information Act.
The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled in June 2012 that Freemantle has legal standing to pursue his case. His lawyer, Charles Griffin, filed a motion for summary judgment in the matter months ago, but he said Friday that he is still waiting for a court date to be set for the case.
Freemantle could not be reached Friday and did not respond to a message seeking comment.
Griffin filed a motion Friday on behalf of Freemantle, asking for the judge to grant Freemantle permission to intervene in any settlement talks that the county has with Preston.
In the motion, Griffin contends that any settlement offered to Preston by Anderson County may "impair or impede Freemantle's ability to protect" his own interests in his lawsuit.
"If there is a settlement discussion, we would like to be a party to it," Griffin said in an interview. "We don't want to be ... just excluded. Mr. Freemantle has put a lot of time into his case."
Along with suing Anderson County and Preston, Freemantle is suing former council members Bill McAbee, Ron Wilson, Michael Thompson and Larry Geer and current council member Gracie Floyd. The elected officials named in the suit voted in favor of Preston's severance pay.
Griffin also says Freemantle intends to amend his lawsuit to say that "any monies paid to ... Preston pursuant to the purported severance agreement be returned to Anderson County."
Freemantle is also asking for the right to appeal Couch's May 3 judgment against Anderson County in its lawsuit involving Preston, if the county decides not to appeal. The county has spent more than $2.8 million on investigating and suing Preston and on related lawsuits. The bulk of that total is directly tied to the investigation of Preston's administration and to the Anderson County v. Preston lawsuit. According to Preston's lawyers, his estimated legal bills total $711,212.68.

This provisional application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/556,002, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to barbed sutures made of surface eroding materials having degradation rates adjusted to a desired strength and mass loss profile.
Barbed sutures, which are generally made of the same materials as conventional sutures, offer several advantages for closing wounds compared with conventional sutures. A barbed suture includes an elongated body that has one or more spaced barbs, which project from the surface of the suture body along the body length. The barbs are arranged to allow passage of the barbed suture in one direction through tissue but resist movement of the barbed suture in the opposite direction. Thus, one advantage of barbed sutures has been the decreased time in closing wounds due to less knot tying by the surgeon.
Barbed sutures are known for use in cosmetic, laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures. Using barbed sutures enables the placement of tension in tissue with less slippage of the suture in the wound. Similar to a conventional suture, a barbed suture may be inserted into tissue using a surgical needle.
Depending on the tissue and wound type, patient health and corresponding healing rates, there is an optimal time needed for sutures to be present in the patient. Current sutures provide strength for a given period of time, however, suture mass is still present weeks after body no longer requires them to be. For example, a suture may provide strength for 10 days but is not completely absorbed by the body until 56 days. This foreign body may interfere with healing as it continues to degrade well after suture strength is needed. Therefore, it may be advantageous to incorporate surface eroding polymers in barbed sutures whose properties can provide necessary strength and appropriate mass loss, enabling the wound healing process.
The present disclosure provides a suture which includes a surface eroding material; an elongated body with a proximal end and a distal end; at least one length of barbs projecting from the elongated body towards at least one end and forming an included angle of less than about 90 degrees between the barbs and the elongated body.
In embodiments, the surface eroding material is selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxybutyrates, polyhydroxy alkoanates, polyorthoesters, lactones, poly(alpha-hydroxy esters), valerolactone, N-trimethyl chitosan chloride, homopolymers thereof, copolymers thereof, and combinations thereof.
A method of closing a wound with the suture of the present disclosure is also provided. In alternative embodiments, a needle is affixed to the suture.
Various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described hereinbelow with reference to the figures wherein:
Described herein is a degradable surgical suture having barbs extending from the body of the suture. The suture may have both a proximal and distal end, with barbs projecting from the elongated body towards at least one end thereby forming an included angle of less than about 90 degrees between the barbs and the suture body. The materials utilized to form the suture are selected to provide the suture with desired mass loss profile, strength retention, and tensile properties. Additionally, the rate of hydrolysis and subsequent mass loss in the hydrolytic degradation of the suture may be altered by changing the surface area through the addition of barbs.
Depending, for example, on the necessary time for healing a wound, a specific rate of degradation of a suture may be desired. It is important to ensure that mass loss is proportional to strength loss, namely, that the suture strength remains present to support the wound, while still absorbing within a reasonable time. Depending on the suture and application, the mass loss and strength loss may typically be within 30 days of each other.
Utilizing surface eroding polymer and methods of the present disclosure, the mass loss profile of a barbed suture may be optimized so that the suture is completely degraded at the most appropriate time, which may be of importance in certain major surgeries such as cosmetic, laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures. For example, in embodiments, the formation of barbs on the suture may permit the use of a degradable material which normally has high tensile strength and a long period of degradation to form a suture having similar high tensile strength but an increased degradation rate.
The barbed suture of the present disclosure may be made of any suitable surface eroding polymers which include polyanhydrides and anhydride copolymers, for example and including 1,6-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)hexane (CPH) as the hydrophobe and 1,8-bis-(p-carboxyphenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane (CPTEG) (or other oligomer polyethyleneglycol (PEG) containing units) as the hydrophilic component.
In yet other embodiments, a suture of the present disclosure may be made of polyhyrdoxybutyrates and polyhydroxy alkoanates, polyorthoesters, poly(alpha-hydroxy esters), valerolactone, N-trimethyl chitosan chloride, and dioxanone. Degradable lactones may incorporate the use of silicone oils/oligomers (hydroxyl terminated) as chemical initiator, or D5 cyclic monomer for copolymerization with lactone monomers. In addition, another embodiment includes using an anionic ring opening polymerization of cyclic lactone monomers with oligomeric/cyclic bisphenol A to prepare degradable phenylated carbonates (i.e., TMC with phenol).
Suitable lactone monomers may be selected from the group consisting of glycolide, lactide (l, d, dl, meso), dioxanone, ε-caprolactone, delta-valerolactone, beta-butyrolactone, epsilon-decalactone, 2,5-diketomorpholine, pivalolactone, alpha, alpha-diethylpropiolactone, ethylene carbonate, ethylene oxalate, 3-methyl-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione, 3,3-diethyl-1,4-dioxan-2,5-dione, gamma-butyrolactone, 1,4-dioxepan-2-one, 1,5-dioxepan-2-one, 1,4-dioxan-2-one, 6,8-dioxabicycloctane-7-one, trimethylene carbonate and combinations thereof.
Sutures of the present disclosure may be of monofilament or multifilament braids. Fibers used for forming sutures of the present disclosure may be formed using any technique within the purview of those skilled in the art, such as, for example, extrusion, molding and/or solvent casting. In embodiments, the fibers can be extruded through an extruder unit of a conventional type, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,063,105; 6,203,564; and 6,235,869, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein.
In embodiments, the suture of the present disclosure may include a yarn made of more than one fiber, which may contain multiple fibers of the same or different materials. Where the sutures are made of multiple fibers, the suture can be made using any known technique such as, for example, braiding, weaving or knitting. The fibers may also be combined to produce a non-woven suture. The filberts themselves may be drawn, oriented, crinkled, twisted, commingled or air entangled to form yarns as part of the suture forming process. In one embodiment a multifilament suture of the present disclosure can be produced by braiding.
Barbed sutures and placement methods suitable for use according to the present disclosure include those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,931,855, and 6,599,310, and U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 20030074023, 20030074023, 20040088003, 20040060409, and 20040060410, the entire disclosures of each of which are incorporated by reference herein.
Barbs may be formed on the surface of the body of a suture utilizing any method within the purview of one skilled in the art. Such methods include, but are not limited to, cutting, molding, and the like. In some embodiments, barbs may be formed by making with acute angular cuts directly into the suture body, with cut portions pushed outwardly and separated from the body of the suture. The depth of the barbs thus formed in the suture body may depend on the diameter of the suture material and the depth of the cut. In some embodiments, a suitable device for cutting a plurality of axially spaced barbs on the exterior of a suture filament may use a cutting bed, a cutting bed vise, a cutting template, and a blade assembly to perform the cutting. In operation, the cutting device has the ability to produce a plurality of axially spaced barbs in the same or random configuration and at different angles in relation to each other. Other suitable methods of cutting the barbs include the use of various manual methods including blades.
In embodiments, needles may be attached to sutures for easier penetration into tissue. In order to facilitate needle attachment to a suture of the present disclosure, conventional tipping agents can be applied to the braid. Two tipped ends of the suture may be desirable for attaching a needle to each end of the suture to provide a so-called double armed suture. The needle attachment can be made by any conventional method such as crimping, swaging, etc., including those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,133,738; 5,226,912; and 5,569,302, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein. Sutures may incorporate various sizes, lengths, diameters and needles the like, curved, straight, or otherwise. Additionally, sutures can be packaged in any number of desired pre-cut lengths and in pre-shaped curves.
In embodiments, all of the barbs may be aligned to allow the suture to move through tissue in one direction and resist moving through tissue in the opposite direction. For example, referring to
In other embodiments, the barbs may be aligned on a first portion of a length of a suture to allow movement of a first end of the suture through tissue in one direction, while barbs on a second portion of the length of the suture may be aligned to allow movement of the second end of the suture in an opposite direction. For example, as depicted in
The barbs can be arranged in any suitable pattern, for example, in a helical pattern. The number, configuration, spacing and surface area of the barbs can vary depending upon the tissue in which the suture is used, as well as the composition and geometry of the material utilized to form the suture. Additionally, the proportions of the barbs may remain relatively constant while the overall length of the barbs, number, and spacing of the barbs may be determined by the tissue being connected.
The surface area of the barbs can also vary. For example, fuller-tipped barbs can be made of varying sizes designed for specific surgical applications. Larger or smaller barbs may be desired based on end use in specific tissues and procedures. In some embodiments, a combination of large and small barbs within the same structure may be beneficial, for example when a suture is used in tissue repair with differing layer structures. Use of the combination of large and small barbs with the same suture wherein barb sizes are customized for each tissue layer will ensure maximum anchoring properties. In embodiments a single directional suture as depicted in
Barbed sutures fabricated from a degradable material in accordance with the present disclosure maintain their structural integrity after implantation (e.g., about 80% of original strength) for a predetermined period of time, depending on the characteristics of the particular copolymer used. Such characteristics include, for example, materials selection, monofilament versus multifilament in addition to processing conditions (e.g., rate of copolymerization reaction, temperature for reaction, pressure, etc.), and any post-treatment of the resulting sutures, i.e., drying, coating, sterilization, etc.
Barbed sutures of the present disclosure typically maintain their structural integrity, i.e., 80% of their original strength, after implantation for periods of time ranging approximately from about 3 to about 28 days, in embodiments from about 5 to about 21 days, in other embodiments from about 7 to about 14 days.
In accordance with the present disclosure, the formation of barbs on a surface eroding suture body may be utilized to increase the degradation time of a suture from about 1% to about 25%, in embodiments from about 2% to about 20%, in other embodiments from about 3% to about 10%.
A bioactive agent may be impregnated within a polymer resin, combined during the extrusion process or applied to the surface thereof. In embodiments, a bioactive agent may also be included in a coating of such a suture. In some embodiments, the bioactive agent may be localized in the angle formed between the barb and the body of the suture, as described in U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/842,763 which is incorporated herein by reference.
Suitable bioactive agents include, for example, biocidal agents, antibiotics, antimicrobial agents, medicants, growth factors, anti-clotting agents, analgesics, anesthetics, anti-inflammatory agents, wound repair agents and the like, and combinations thereof.
Bioactive agents include substances which are beneficial to the patient and tend to promote the wound healing process. For example, a suture can be provided with a bioactive agent which will be released at the sutured site. For example, bioactive agents can be chosen for their antimicrobial properties, capability for promoting wound repair and/or tissue growth, or for specific indications such as thrombosis. In embodiments, combinations of such agents may be applied to or incorporated within a suture of the present disclosure.
The term "antimicrobial agent" as used herein includes an agent which helps the body destroy or resist pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms. An antimicrobial agent includes antibiotics, antiseptics, disinfectants and combinations thereof. Antimicrobial agents such as broad spectrum antibiotics (gentamicin sulfate, erythromycin or derivatized glycopeptides) which are slowly released into the tissue can be applied in this manner to aid in combating clinical and sub-clinical infections in a surgical or trauma wound site. In embodiments, suitable antimicrobial agents may be soluble in one or more solvents.
Classes of antibiotics that can be used as the antimicrobial agent include tetracyclines like minocycline; rifamycins like rifampin; macrolides like erythromycin; penicillins like nafcillin; cephalosporins like cefazolin; beta-lactam antibiotics like imipenem and aztreonam; aminoglycosides like gentamicin and TOBRAMYCIN®; chloramphenicol; sulfonamides like sulfamethoxazole; glycopeptides like vancomycin; quinolones like ciprofloxacin; fusidic acid; trimethoprim; metronidazole; clindamycin; mupirocin; polyenes like amphotericin B; azoles like fluconazole; and beta-lactam inhibitors like sulbactam.
Examples of antiseptics and disinfectants which may be utilized as the antimicrobial agent include hexachlorophene; cationic biguanides like chlorhexidine and cyclohexidine; iodine and iodophores like povidone-iodine; halo-substituted phenolic compounds like PCMX (i.e., p-chloro-m-xylenol) and triclosan (i.e., 2,4,4′-trichloro-2′hydroxy-diphenylether); furan medical preparations like nitrofurantoin and nitrofurazone; methenamine; aldehydes like glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde; and alcohols. In some useful embodiments, at least one of the antimicrobial agents may be an antiseptic such as triclosan.
To promote wound repair and/or tissue growth, one or more bioactive agents known to achieve either or both of these objectives can also be incorporated in the suture as wound repair agents or tissue growth agents. Such materials include any of several human growth factors (HGFs), magainin, tissue or kidney plasminogen activator to cause thrombosis, superoxide dismutase to scavenge tissue-damaging free radicals, tumor necrosis factor for cancer therapy, colony stimulating factor, interferon, interleukin-2 or other lymphokines to enhance the immune system, combinations thereof, and so forth. Still further, surface eroding polymer drugs prepared from condensation polymerization of monomeric or multimeric drugs including, but not limited to non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as salicyclic acid and diflunisal.
Sutures in accordance with this disclosure can also include, for example, biologically acceptable plasticizers, antioxidants and colorants, which can be impregnated into the filament(s) utilized to form a suture of the present disclosure or included in a coating thereon.
As noted above, bioactive agents may be impregnated into the polymer resin or coated on the surface thereof. Bioactive agents may be applied onto a barbed suture of the present disclosure utilizing any method within the purview of one skilled in the art including, for example, dipping, spraying, vapor deposition, brushing, and the like. In embodiments the bioactive agent, such as an antimicrobial agent, may be combined with the resin and extruded.
In other embodiments, a barbed suture, or a portion thereof, may be coated with a biocompatible material which may impart desired handling characteristics. The addition of a coating should not, however, adversely affect the strength and tensile properties of the suture. Suitable coatings which may be utilized are within the purview of one skilled in the art and include, for example, biodegradable coatings such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20040153125, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
An "effective antimicrobial amount" of a given component is an amount at which the component hinders the growth of bacteria to diminish or avoid contamination of the wound site.
In embodiments, the antimicrobial degradable coating composition for biocompatible surgical implantable devices is inexpensive, biocompatible, and not subject to excessive diffusion. "Biocompatible" meaning, the ability of a material to perform within an appropriate host response in a specific application (D F Williams 1987), Appropriate host responses include resistance to blood clotting, resistance to bacterial colonization and normal uncomplicated healing. It is contemplated that biocompatible objects may be associated with some clinically acceptable amounts of toxicity including irritation and/or other adverse reactions in certain individuals.
Such a coating may provide sutures with the combined desirable properties of improved handling characteristics, antimicrobial activity and strength loss which is proportional to mass loss.
In addition to the antimicrobial agents described above, in some embodiments the coating may include fatty acid metal salts which may impart antimicrobial characteristics to the suture.
Where a bioactive agent is included as part of a coating, the bioactive agent and coating components may be added to separate solvents, and the resulting solvent mixtures may then be combined to form a coating solution. In other embodiments, the bioactive agent and coating components may be combined together and then mixed with solvent to form a coating solution or any combination.
The coating can be applied to a suture by any suitable process, e.g., passing the suture through a solution of the coating mixture, past a brush or other coating solution applicator, or past one or more spray nozzles dispensing the suture coating solution. In embodiments, a mixture of methylene chloride, hexane and ethanol may be used as a solvent. The suture wetted with the coating solution may be optionally passed through or held in a drying oven for a time and at a temperature sufficient to vaporize and drive off the solvent. If desired, the suture coating composition can optionally contain additional bioactive agents or components described above, e.g., dyes, antibiotics, antiseptics, growth factors, anti-inflammatory agents, etc.
In embodiments, sutures of the present disclosure may be dyed in order to increase the visibility of the suture in the surgical field. Any dye suitable for incorporation in sutures can be used. Such dyes include, but are not limited to, carbon black, bone black, D&C Green No. 6, and D&C Violet No. 2.
The degradation rate of the resulting sutures may be affected by several factors including the character of the coating composition and the quantity applied. In some embodiments, it may be desirable to further treat the barbed sutures of the present disclosure to obtain the desired rate of degradation. For example, in some embodiments it may be desirable to heat the sutures of the present disclosure to obtain the desired rate of degradation. The heating of the suture may also remove monomers remaining in the polymers utilized to form the sutures. Suitable temperature for heating the sutures can be from about 100° C. to about 160° C., in embodiments from about 120° C. to about 143° C., for a period of time from about 2 hours to about 24 hours, in embodiments from about 8 hours to about 16 hours. In some embodiments, the heating may take place in a vacuum.
In other embodiments, the rate of degradation of the barbed sutures of the present disclosure may be controlled by exposing them to a plasma treatment, including a low-temperature gas plasma at a pressure substantially below atmospheric for a sufficient period of time. Such methods are within the purview of those skilled in the art and include, for example, the treatment disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,236,563, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein. In embodiments, the surface treatment may be limited in time to treat the surface layer to a depth of from about 100 to about 1500 Angstroms.
In some cases a tubular insertion device (not shown) may be utilized to introduce a barbed suture in accordance with the present disclosure into tissue. Such a tubular insertion device may have a tubular body in which the barbed suture of the present disclosure is disposed, as well as a distal end and a proximal end. In use, the pointed end of a suture of the present disclosure may be pushed with the distal end of the tubular insertion device through skin, tissue, and the like at an insertion point. The pointed end of the suture and the distal end of the tubular insertion device are pushed through the tissue until reaching an endpoint. The proximal end of the tubular insertion device is then gripped and pulled to remove the insertion device, leaving the barbed suture in place.
Methods for repairing tissue with the sutures of the present disclosure are also provided. The sutures of the present disclosure may be utilized in any cosmetic endoscopic or laparoscopic methods. In addition, sutures of the present disclosure may be utilized to attach one tissue to another including, but not limited to, wound closure. As used herein, the term "wound" means a surgical incision, cut, laceration, severed tissue or accidental wound in human skin or other bodily tissue, or other condition where suturing, stapling, or the use of another tissue connecting device might be required. As used herein, the term "tissue" includes tissues such as skin, bone, muscle, organs, and other soft tissue such as tendons, ligaments and muscle.
In embodiments, sutures of the present disclosure may be held in place without the need for knots. In such cases, tissue located over a suture of the present disclosure placed in vivo may be physically manipulated or massaged into a desired position to enhance the holding of tissue in the desired position. In embodiments, the physical manipulation of tissue located over a suture of the present disclosure may enhance the release of any medicinal agent located on the suture, including any medicinal agent found in the angle between a barb and the body of a suture of the present disclosure. In other embodiments, the "S" or "J" stitching through tissue will activate the barbs, catching tissue and creating mechanical forces preventing the suture from moving backwards and holding without a knot. The term "activate" means causing the barbs to project outwards from suture.
For example, when the suture is used in tissue to repair a wound, the suture is passed through tissue at each of the sides of the wound. The point at one end of the suture, or in some embodiments, the needle, is inserted into a first side of a wound such that the point or needle pierces the tissue and the barbs on the end portion of the suture corresponding to the one end yield toward the body to facilitate movement of the suture through the tissue in the direction of insertion. The other end of the suture may also be inserted into a side of the wound and advanced through the tissue in like manner. The sides or faces of the wound are then moved together along the suture portions within the tissue to close the wound. The barbs of the suture grasp the surrounding tissue on each side of the wound and maintain the edges of the wound in position during healing. The leading ends of the suture protruding from the tissue are then cut and discarded. In one embodiment, ends of the suture in the tissue are made to lie below the surface of the skin by first depressing the skin immediately around the ends and severing the suture body closely against the skin. The skin will rise to cover the ends of the suture.
While the above description contains many specifics, these specifics should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the disclosure, but merely as exemplifications of embodiments thereof. Those skilled in the art will envision many other possibilities within the scope and spirit of the disclosure as defined by the claims appended hereto.

Just right for those cool summer evenings on the boardwalk or at the Ritz! Cool pale blue beads dangling from four cleverly designed white metal chains. Comes with matching clip-on earrings with the beads encircled in the same chain. Believed dated early 1950's as they were found with a collection of jewelry that belonged to my mother. Be sure to see the cute white flowers at each end to support the chains. Closes with a j-hook that has a single bead on the end. Measures 18-inches to its maximum length with the hook at the very end. Note that what looks like tiny black spots on each chain section are actually tiny holes where the chain is doubled back on itself. Really good condition for its age. Nothing missing or broken. Earrings are 1-inch. Unsigned.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Cezanne and American Modernism (Baltimore Museum of Art)'
Paul Cézanne (18391906) is one of the great geniuses in the history of art, and his work has influenced a multitude of artists throughout Europe. Across the Atlantic, Cézannes paintings had a similarly catalytic effect on artists emerging in the United States during the early 20th century. Cézanne and American Modernism is the first book devoted specifically to his impact on American art and its eager reception there. It shows how American painters and photographers cemented Cézannes legacy by spreading their respect and admiration for his vision with their own art, writings, and exhibitions.
Examining Cézannes influence on more than a generation of American artists, this handsomely illustrated book features paintings and photography by Paul Strand, Marsden Hartley, Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, Charles Demuth, Arshile Gorky, Charles Sheeler, Stanton Macdonald-Wright, Maurice Prendergast, Morgan Russell, Max Weber, and many others. Cézannes far-reaching transformative impact on each artists aesthetic vision is explored, while extensive essays shed new light on a wide range of subjects from American collectors of his work and his shaping of modernism in the American West to the lasting resonance of his art on Abstract Expressionism in the 1950s.

The Montclair Art Museum has been a significant visual arts center for more than eighty-five years. Established in 1914, the museum's holdings have become an important cultural repository both for New Jersey and the nation.
This beautiful volume offers a selected cross-section of a collection of 15,000 works. The more than two hundred paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and photographs featured reveal the museum collection's breadth and many recent acquisitions. A special section covers the museum's important concentration of works by America's greatest landscape painter George Inness, whose presence in Montclair may be said to have inspired the founding of the museum. Another significant section features works of the Morgan Russell Collection and Archive, more than nine thousand works on paper that record the complexities of the artist's aesthetic and intellectual adventures, especially his development as part of the first declared American modern art movement, Synchromism, from 1912 to 1914.
The Montclair Art Museum is one of a surprisingly small number of U.S. museums dedicated solely to art produced in this country. This volume combines Native and other American art within a range of artistic media in provocative and insightful ways, and its commentaries reflect the careful scholarship and commitment to public education for which the museum is well known.
An essay covering the museum's history and the development of the collection rounds out the volume.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The New Spirit'
The International Exhibition of Modern Art, better known as the Armory Show, consisted of more than 1,300 works of art by American and European artists. During its original run in New York, Chicago, and Boston from mid-February to mid-May of 1913 and in the subsequent scholarship on the topic, most attention has centered on the avant-garde European artists, particularly Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, and Henri Matisse, even though art by Americans comprised two-thirds of the works on view in this legendary show. The New Spirit is the first exhibit and catalogue to focus primarily on the American art in the Armory Show. While works by such renowned artists as Edward Hopper, Robert Henri, John Marin, Charles Sheeler, and George Bellows are included, The New Spirit highlights paintings, sculpture, watercolors, and prints by artists like Leon Kroll, Middleton Manigault, D. Putnam Brinley, Jerome Myers, Allen Tucker, Jonas Lie, E. Ambrose Webster, Chester Beach, and George Grey Barnard-talented individuals who remain at the periphery of mainstream American art history.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Roy Lichtenstein: American Indian Encounters'
One of America's leading Pop artists, Roy Lichtenstein was master of stereotype. Bringing sophisticated analyses to artistic conventions, he had a distinct flair for using irony to exploit existing styles. Today, his name is typically associated with whimsical renderings of comic strips and paintings marked by their bold colors, prominent black lines and patterns of Ben Day dots. Beyond his fascination for icons of popular culture, however, Lichtenstein had a little-known but deep appreciation for the objects and images of American Indian culture. This book explores in depth and fully illustrates a virtually unknown collection of his paintings and works on paper that were influenced by his encounters with Native American subjects. Lichtenstein's cubist abstractions from the early 1950s reflect his interest in European art specifically the work of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, and Paul Klee. The Native American subjects of these works also suggest the artist's interest in nineteenth-century sources such as Catlin, the Swiss painter Karl Bodmer, the German artist Charles Wimar, and the American John Vanderlyn. Lichtenstein himself characterized the paintings from this period as "born of those artists concerned with the opening of the West...with the subject matter of American Indians, treaty signings - a sort of Western official art in a style broadly influenced by modern Europe painting." The themes and compositions of these often-ignored early works are revisited in his 1979 "Amerindian" paintings and related drawings and prints. His paintings from this period were primarily inspired by his extensive collection of catalogs of Native American design motifs. He also attended powwows at the nearby Shinnecock Indian reservation in Southhampton, Long Island. For Lichtenstein, Native American art provided a historical base for American art, mirroring African art's relationship to early European modernism. This catalog, including forty color plates, is the first to examine the compelling details of this foundation.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Waxing Poetic'
Published in conjunction with an exhibition devoted to the encaustic medium, this work examines a painting method first used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The word "encaustic" derives from the Greek term "enkaustikos", meaning "to burn in". The basic technique calls for dry pigments to be mixed with molten wax on a warm palette and applied to any ground or surface. A heat source is passed close to the surface, burning in and fusing the colours. Currently enjoying a widespread revival among painters, sculptors and printmakers, the encaustic medium's resurgence has been bolstered by the availability of electrically heated equipment. In this illustrated volume, featuring more than 100 art works, Gail Stavitsky examines the 20th century encaustic renaissance. She discusses the work of artists such as Jasper Johns, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Lynda Benglis, and many others who have turned to this ancient medium. The other two essays in this volume are "Encaustic Painting and Revivals: A History of Discord and Discovery" by Danielle Rice and "Encaustic Painting as a Contemporary Paint Medium" by Richard Frumess.
