"With great power, comes great responsibility." How many times have we superhero fans heard this line, let alone understand its implications? Do we really take to heart how much sacrifice such heroism involves, or comprehend what would be at stake? Superhero films tend to glorify ability over altruism. That is after all the main reason why we flock to the genre, to see amazing sights never seen before. But one film is special in how it focuses on the gravity of selflessness in spite of such might. And it does so not by showcasing its hero's greatness, but his ordinariness. It's Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 2."
Published with Press Play on Indiewire
With the unparalleled box office success of The Avengers, superheroes are back in the spotlight. Most comic book aficionados are delighted with the recognition. But believe it or not, there are those such as myself who are dismayed at how superhero films, though more popular than ever, seem to be losing their luster.
A young black boy deemed suspicious for wearing a hoodie. A black head of state depicted as a primate. Extremist political parties masking bigotry behind nationalism. Google the word "racism" and you'll find a vast array of news items showing that this most basic form of bigotry is alive and well.
There have been many films big and small which have addressed the subject. But only one comes to mind with racism as an actual character: the controversial drama "White Dog," directed by Samuel Fuller, based on the novel by Romain Gary.
A video essay published in tandem with Indiewire
"The human face is the great subject of the cinema. Everything is there." - Ingmar Bergman
The craggy complexion. The stately ovate chin. Those thin lips deceptively wrapped around that charming smile. That perfect nose. Those clear greenish-brown eyes. That squint.
One cannot discuss Clint Eastwood's iconic stature in film, without mentioning his face. There are others that have been as handsome (Newman), masculine (Gable), striking (Hitchcock), fearsome (Bronson), and symbolic (Wayne). But from a visual standpoint, none of them have been as instrumental as a filmmaking tool or signature. Most actors are cast to fill in a character from the inside out, building an individual based on the personal. But Eastwood himself is a form. An absent presence whose persona is filled primarily by the film's themes and ideas.
Matt Singer wrote a thoughtful piece against piracy a few days ago here on Criticwire. I read it with great interest. And I believe that he is correct, provided that Piracy fits a certain context. Let me try and provide some background.When I started writing movie reviews, I was living in the Philippines, a third-world country. Movie-going is deeply tied into our entertainment habits. The masses, most of whom are not able to afford most forms of entertainment, at least have theaters we can go to to escape the hardships of reality.
Fantastical novels aimed at the young are making a killing these days. And due to the immense success of the "Harry Potter" and "Lord Of The Rings" movies, studios are looking for that next big series to cash in on. But among such film adaptations, rare is the one that finds a figurative truth worth sharing. Most of them are merely content to display the depths of their imaginations, being (perhaps justifiably) almost completely distant from the concerns of real life.

It only took a few weeks but my Colette Violet finally has sleeves. Now I just need to find buttons.
After procrastinating for many many weeks, I finally had a chance to trace and pin the Colette Violet pattern. I'm on the fence about pinning. Sometimes I think it leads to accurate cutting, sometimes I think it makes the fabric bunch up and I like to keep it as flat as possible. I'm using a striped grey cotton from my stash.
+ + +
Esteemed Sewing Assistant in Training, trying to be a Pirate Cat.
What you don't see are hours spent saying, "No, don't sit on that!" — everything from the fabric, the ironed out patterns, the pattern on the fabric, to "No don't play with the pin cushion!" until Esteemed Sewing Assistant in Training fell asleep.
More to come soon.
Don't you just hate it when you find the perfect fabric for a project in your stash only to discover that it's only a remnant? Sigh.
+ + +
Finally, proof of sewing! And it's not even black.
I finished my wool gabardine Laurel late December last year, and only shamefully had a chance to document it today. I haven't worn it out yet, but it's only because it is much too cold to wear dresses right now.
In full disclosure, I made two (!!) muslins of this before I was satisfied with it. I also cut it incorrectly the first time and had to sew it twice. I serged the seams, hand-basted the sleeves in, and hand-sewed the hem. All in all a lot more work than I'm used to and with much struggling, especially since I've turned to knits and never look back, but definitely well worth it.
Pattern review below.
+ + +
Project Details:
Pattern: Colette Laurel.
Pattern Sizing: 0-18.
Description: Jacket with skirt and peplum.
Did it look like the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes.
Fabric: Wool gabardine, with an invisible zipper.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, had I chosen to read them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This is the second time I've made this pattern. I really like it, simple, yet versatile.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: Yes, many. Lowered bust dart by 2 inches, shortened hem by 1 inch, lowered the neckline by 5/8 inch, removed 1 inch from the center back, made a narrow upper back adjustment, adjusted the sleeve cap and removed all the extraneous ease from it, and lengthened the sleeve to try to hide my sleeve (somewhat unsuccessfully.)
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Definitely. I see many more Laurels in the future.
It took way longer than it should have, but I finally finished my version of Laurel. I finished reading The Great Gatsby on my commute the other week, and I wanted something that would capture the decadent, opulent, lush feel of the novel.
Btw, I didn't realize how sheer this dress was. I'm lucky there's a brown fence behind most of me.
Edit: Thanks for reminding me guys, I am entering this in the Colette Patterns contest.
+ + +
Pattern Description: Loosely fitted basic sheath dress or top.
Pattern Sizing: 0-18. I cut a 4 on top and tapered to a 6 on the bottom.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, sort of.
Were the instructions easy to follow? I have on idea, I didn't read the directions.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like how versatile and simple this pattern is.
Fabric Used: Sheer crushed velvet.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I changed this pattern a lot. I dropped the neckline, took out the front and back darts, and raised the hem. I wanted a 60s-inspired does 20s-inspired version. I serged the side seams and hem and used seam binding to finish the neckline and armholes. I removed the darts since I didn't think the crushed velvet could handle it, and I wanted to keep it simple.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and yes. I'd really like to sew this so it would actually look like Laurel version, and not severely modified.
Conclusion: I'd definitely make this again.
Here's my progress so far on Laurel. I really wish I made a muslin. I need to adjust the neckline and the hem, and it's almost there.
Sheer crushed velvet, with topaz and cobalt blue flowers.
+ + +
It's been quiet around these parts since I've been doing a lot of pattern modifications on Colette Laurel and have no decent photographs to show for it.
I've been working on my version over the weekend. No sleeves, lower neckline, no darts, much more simple shaping. I finished reading The Great Gatsby on my commute last week, a novel thing since I'm a very slow fiction reader, and I've been greatly inspired by that. I want something that will mirror the lush opulence and decadence of what the 1920s are in my head (at least based on what I read from Gatsby>), and it's been slow going.
Hopefully this project will be done in time for the Laurel sewing contest next week.
Front view.

This is my first time doing side-seam pockets. Not bad!
+ + +
Sitting down. The skirt is very pouffy.
+ + +
Checking for pockets.
+ + +
Bracelets, snake & roses, closeup.
+ + +
Standing next to some shrubbery. You can almost see the bodice contrast here of eyelet vs. lined eyelet, but not really.
+ + +
Alright, so this has nothing to do with Sons of Anarchy but I watched a lot of it over the weekend.
I finished Macaron over the long weekend and I like it a lot. I haven't worn it anywhere yet but it's very comfortable. I used a cotton tomato warm red eyelet underlined with a cool blue-based red cotton broadcloth, and for the contrast I just used the eyelet as is. It worked out pretty well, but I think I killed all design detail with the bodice since it didn't have enough contrast.
+ Re-drafted the waist part to be a straight waist
+ Added gathered skirt with side-seam pockets
+ Removed the sleeves
+ Removed the back neck darts
+ Changed the zipper to be a center back zipper
+ Used invisible zipper

Pattern Review
Pattern Description:
Dress with cap sleeve, contrast fitted bodice, side invisible zipper, pleated skirt with hidden pockets.
Pattern Sizing:
0-18. My sizing was all over the place. I cut a size 4 bodice, size 10 waist, size 6 hips.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
The bodice did, yes.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really liked the unique bodice. Next time I'll definitely take advantage of this design detail and use a more contrasting fabric.
Fabric Used:
Red cotton eyelet, underlined with red cotton broadcloth
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Plenty. Re-drafted the waist part to be a straight waist, added gathered skirt with side-seam pockets, removed the sleeves, removed the back neck darts, changed the zipper to be a center back zipper.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and yes. I definitely want to make a second version of this, but with more contrast on the bodice pieces.
I really like it! Very comfortable to wear.
I must be the last person left to attempt this, but so be it.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains generally to surgical instruments and, more particularly, to surgical instruments such as an acetabular cup impactor particularly suited for use in minimal invasive surgical procedures.
2. Description of the Related Art
Early techniques for performing major orthopedic surgical procedures, such as joint replacements or reconstructions, included making large incisions and exposing the entire joint. Even with a successful surgery, the trauma to the patient is significant from open surgical procedures. As a result, rehabilitation periods are long and require dedication from the patient over an extended difficult time period to ensure the best possible result. Even with a skilled surgeon and a patient committed to a rehabilitation program, it is not always possible to achieve the desired results due in part to the surgical damage to areas surrounding the joint and the extensive scaring that can result.
In an effort to reduce trauma caused by open surgical procedures, it is desirable to reduce the size of incisions. Some procedures, such as many procedures performed on knees, now are routinely performed arthroscopically. Small incisions are made at discrete locations around the knee, and surgical tools are inserted through the incisions for performing the required procedures. Inspection of the joint, and observation of the procedure are achieved remotely, using fiber optics inserted through one of the incisions to illuminate the site and display a picture thereof on a view screen.
Procedures for knees and some other joints are readily adaptable to arthroscopic performance, using essentially straight, inline surgical tools. However, procedures for some other joints, such as hips, are not as easily adapted to minimally invasive surgical procedures. Because of surrounding hard and soft tissue structures, it is difficult to position properly inline surgical tools through incisions spaced about the joint. For example, to set an acetabular cup in a properly prepared acetabulum, an acetabular cup impactor is used. An surgical implement coupler of the impactor is secured to the acetabular cup. An elongated shaft is joined to the surgical implement coupler at one end, and includes a striker cap at the opposite end of the shaft. The cup is seated in the prepared acetabulum by positioning the cup in the prepared depression, and imparting a series of blows from a mallet against the striker cap. The force of the blows is transmitted through the shaft of the impactor, to seat the cup in the prepared opening in the acetabulum. After the cup is properly seated, the surgical implement coupler of the impactor is detached from the cup.
Two problems occur in seating an acetabular cup in this manner during a minimally invasive procedure. It is difficult to properly align the impactor because of anatomical features that are in the way, and disconnecting the head from the cup is more difficult with limited access to the end of the tool.
As a consequence, many common hip procedures, such as total hip replacements, are routinely performed through large incisions, in open procedures, exposing the entire joint, with the increased trauma caused thereby perceived as a necessary disadvantage.
What is needed in the art is an acetabular cup impactor that is more easily used during minimally invasive procedures.
The present invention provides an acetabular cup impactor with a curved shaft that makes proper alignment of the tool more easily accomplished during a minimally invasive surgical procedure, and a remotely activated surgical implement coupler for disengaging the head from an acetabular cup.
The invention comprises, in one form thereof, a surgical tool for connecting to a surgical implement. The surgical tool is provided with a hollow elongated outer shaft having a first end and a second end, and a curved portion between the first and second ends. A handle is provided at one the end of the outer shaft, and an implement coupler is provided at the other the end of the outer shaft. The coupler is adapted for selectively engaging and disengaging a surgical implement. A flexible drive shaft is disposed in the outer shaft, with one end of the drive shaft connected to the coupler for operating the coupler by rotation of the drive shaft. A manual activation device is provided for rotating the drive shaft to selectively operate the coupler. The manual activation device is disposed near the handle.
The invention comprises, in another form thereof, an orthopedic impactor provided with an elongated hollow outer shaft, a coupler at one end of the outer shaft adapted for engaging an orthopedic implant; and a handle disposed at an end of the hollow outer shaft opposite from the coupler. A striker plate is disposed on the handle, and is adapted for receiving blows from a mallet. A flexible drive shaft is disposed in the outer shaft and connected to the coupler. A rotary input device is provided for rotating the drive shaft to operate the coupler.
In still another form thereof, the invention comprises an acetabular cup impactor, provided with a hollow rigid outer shaft having at least a portion defining a curved shape; a coupler at one end of the shaft adapted for rotation to be engaged to and disengaged from an acetabular cup; a handle at an opposite end of the shaft from the coupler. The handle has an exposed end and a striker plate on the exposed end. A flexible drive shaft in the outer shaft is connected to the coupler for rotating the coupler. A drive means near the handle is provided for rotating the drive shaft to operate the coupler.
An advantage of the present invention is providing an acetabular cup impactor that facilitates seating an acetabular cup during a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
Another advantage is providing an acetabular cup impactor that circumvents intervening anatomical structures to properly position an acetabular cup, and that imparts seating force to the cup in a properly aligned direction.
Yet another advantage is providing an acetabular cup impactor that is easy to use, and that can be disengaged from an acetabular cup even without having the end of the impactor directly accessible.
The above-mentioned and other features and advantages of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention will be better understood by reference to the following description of an embodiment of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The exemplification set out herein illustrates one preferred embodiment of the invention, in one form, and such exemplification is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to
Handle 12 includes a handle shaft 20 having a manual grip 22 thereon, manual grip 22 being of a size and shape for grasping in a hand to stabilize impactor 10. At an exposed end 24 of handle 12, a striker plate 26 is provided. Striker plate 26 generally covers entire exposed end 24, and is joined to handle shaft 20 such that mallet blows applied to striker plate 26 are transferred to handle shaft 20. Handle shaft 20 extends beyond manual grip 22 at an inner end 28 of handle 12 opposite striker plate 26, and is connected to elongated shaft assembly 16, as will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
Surgical implement coupler 14 is adapted for selective attachment to and detachment from an orthopedic device such as an acetabular cup (not shown). Advantageously, surgical implement coupler 14 includes a threaded stud 30 rotatably disposed in and retained by a sleeve 32. Threaded stud 30 is adapted for threaded engagement with an acetabular cup or other orthopedic device (not shown). A universal joint or swivel drive 34 is disposed rotatably in shaft assembly 16 and is drivingly connected to threaded stud 30 such that rotation of swivel drive 34 causes rotation of threaded stud 30 in sleeve 32. Various different types of swivel drives 34 are known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in greater detail herein.
Elongated shaft assembly 16 includes a hollow outer shaft 40 having a first end 42 connected to handle 12, and a second end 44 connected to surgical implement coupler 14. Swivel drive 34 is disposed generally at second end 44, for rotation therein. First end 42 includes a yoke 46 connected between hollow shaft 40 and handle shaft 20. Yoke 46 is joined to hollow shaft 40 by way of a nipple 48 of yoke 46 engaged in hollow shaft 40, and to handle shaft 20 by means of internal threads 50 of a boss 52 on yoke 46 engaging external threads 54 on handle shaft 20.
A thumb wheel 60 or other manual activation, rotary drive input device is mounted in yoke 46 for rotation therein. A flexible drive shaft 62 is connected at one end to thumb wheel 60, and at an opposite end to swivel drive 34. One or more set screw 64 can be used to secure a first end 66 of flexible drive shaft 62 in thumb wheel 60. From thumb wheel 60, flexible drive shaft 62 extends through nipple 48 and hollow outer shaft 40, terminating at the connection to swivel drive 34. A receiver 68 from swivel drive 34 is adapted to receive a second end 70 of flexible drive shaft 62. Second end 70 is secured in receiver 68 by, for example, attachment such as crimping of receiver 68, compression from a set screw (not shown) direct adherence from adhesives, solder or welding, combinations of these techniques, or the like. Flexible drive shaft 62 thereby interconnects thumb wheel 60 with swivel drive 34 such that rotation of thumb wheel 60 causes equivalent rotation of swivel drive 34, and threaded stud 30 connected to swivel drive 34.
Striker plate 26, handle shaft 20, yoke 46 and outer shaft 40 are constructed of rigid material, such as metal, to withstand the force from blows of a mallet or the like, and to conduct the force to surgical implement coupler 14 and an acetabular cup (not shown) or other orthopedic device secured to coupler 14.
As shown most clearly in
Drive shaft 62 as shown is flexible through out its length; however, it should be understood that drive shaft 62 is required to be flexible only along lengths thereof extending through curved portion 80, and as necessary to feed drive shaft 62 into outer shaft 40. Along straight lengths of outer shaft 40, drive shaft 62 can be rigid. Flexibility in drive shaft 62 is required only to allow rotation thereof within curved portion 80, although the entire length of drive shaft 62 can be flexible, if so desired. Drive shaft 62 can be conventional wound-wire flexible shafting, with alternating layers wound in opposite directions. A protective sheath (not shown) can be provided thereon. Other types of flexible shafting also can be used. Spaced standoffs (not shown) and/or lubricant can be provided within outer shaft 40, to allow proper positioning of drive shaft 62 in outer shaft 40, and to reduce resistance to rotation of drive shaft 62 within outer shaft 40.
An alignment block 82 is provided on handle shaft 20, secured against yoke 46 by a lock nut 84 threaded on handle shaft 20. Alignment block 82 includes a fixture 86 adapted for holding guide pins (not shown). The manner in which such guides pins are used, positioned parallel and perpendicular to the floor, to align and position an acetabular cup in a prepared acetabulum of a properly positioned patient, is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in greater detail herein.
In the use of impactor 10, an acetabular cup (not shown) is attached to surgical implement coupler 14, such as by threaded engagement on stud 30. Threaded engagement can be made by placing a threaded hole of the cup (not shown) in general position on stud 30, and rotating the stud through rotation of thumb wheel 60 and drive shaft 62. After the cup is secured on surgical implement coupler 14, the cup (not shown) and surgical implement coupler 14 are inserted through a surgical incision made in the patient, and the acetabular cup (not shown) is brought into position for seating in a previously prepared depression in an acetabulum of the patient. The curved design of shaft assembly 16 allows impactor 10 to be positioned around intervening anatomical structures between the surgical incision and the acetabulum. Impactor 10 is positioned with the intervening anatomical structures located within the space defined by curved portion 80, as the cup (not shown) is brought into final position in the prepared acetabulum.
Curved portion 80 can be provided at different locations along the length of outer shaft 40, in different radii of curvature, and can have compound curvature, to facilitate the use of impactor 10 for different types of procedures and surgical approaches. Straight portions can be provided at each end of curved portion 80, and as shown in
Once the acetabular cup is properly positioned, it is firmly seated in place by a blow or series of blows imparted from a mallet or the like to striker plate 26. The force of the blows is conducted through handle shaft 20, yoke 46, outer shaft 40 and surgical implement coupler 14 to the acetabular cup (not shown).
After the acetabular cub is firmly seated, impactor 10 is disconnected therefrom for removal. Thumb wheel 60 is rotated, thereby rotating flexible drive shaft 62 and stud 30, to disengage stud 30 from the cup (not shown). Impactor 10 is then removed from the incision.
The present invention provides an acetabular cup impactor that can deliver force properly to seat an acetabular cup in a prepared acetabulum, even with intervening anatomical structures disposed between the surgical incision and the acetabulum.
While this invention has been described as having a preferred design, the present invention can be further modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and which fall within the limits of the appended claims.

What resources are available to a student with a IEP after they graduate high school?
My son will be graduating from high school. I would like to know what resources are available to him as a young adult. I have called his counselor at school several times this year and get no call back. He dose not want to attend collage or trade school, which is what I would love him to do to be a successful adult. He has been struggling thru his whole time attending school. I feel that the school is not doing enough to help him like he is just being passed so they don't have to deal with him because he is not the so called run of the mill student . I try to motivate him but just can't . He has no problem with his attendance just struggles to learn. I am afraid this is what is holding him back. I stay positive with him and tell can not do is no option always try . I just feel the school is failing him on their end of the spectrum.In Topics: Special needs

Three mothers who had prayed to be able to tuck their sons into bed safely, instead bid them farewell on Tuesday afternoon, as the boys' bodies slipped into their final resting places and were covered with dirt in the Modi'in Cemetery.Speaking at the funeral, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu looked directly at the three women – Rachel Fraenkel, Bat-Galim Shaer and Iris Yifrah."You taught the whole world what a mother's cry is and what a mother's love is," he said. "Blessed are the boys of such parents and families, and how terrible it is that fate has separated you from them through an evil that is incomprehensible."

The comment about Jewish being a nationality is not correct at all; moderator please note this and remove the incorrect statement. If it's a popular comment, then you have people believing that false statement. Judaism is a culture and a race, found world wide, not just in the one well-known nation - and by the way there are other cultures and religions in Israel.

I am in disagreement with our president and his policies. I am an 86-year-old active member of the church, and as such I have served in many positions. I have been married for 66 years with five children, 20 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren. I find it difficult to appreciate the president for his support of abortions, and authorizing financial support for this procedure.
Thankfully, there are still more good people in the world than bad.

This New Anti-STD Measure Is A Mixed Bag
In these catfish-y times, you can't be too careful. And when it comes to STDs, we're all about removing the stigma and creating a conversation. It's real talk that can save lives, not to mention bring a couple closer together by overcoming a major hump (no pun intended) in the strangers-to-lovers process. So, we can understand the motivation behind the website Qpid.me. We have to wonder if it will catch on, but we get the idea.
The free service allows you to text your STD records to anyone (with your express permission, of course). The site, which encourages you to "spread the love, nothing else," obviously aims to make the conversation a whole lot easier in the name of openness and patient empowerment (all very good things). In theory, we dig it, but in practice? We're not sure if this is the kind of thing that should be left up to text-speak, and not just because of the potential privacy issues that always arise when cell phones get involved. The problem with talking about sexually transmitted diseases today is that many people see it as a dirty thing, a sign of promiscuity, bad hygiene, even immorality. Texting your results aren't necessarily going to make that stigma go away, nor will it open this conversation for any couple.
For a one night stand, though, it's a whole lot better than nothing. And there's no reason two adults can't have that conversation — which often leads to learning a lot more about each other than just their STD stats — while still using this convenient app. Once again, the onus falls on the people in charge. Not everyone has a copy of their last test handy, so this can make getting to the fun part all the easier. We're more than okay with that. We just hope this kind of convenience doesn't push a touchy issue even further under the rug than it already is.
