This invention concerns a feeding arrangement for samples carried in closed containers having a pierceable portion through which sample can be removed, as by a hollow needle. More specifically, this invention concerns an automatic arrangement for carrying closed sample containing tubes into an automated sample testing apparatus, removing sample from the closed tubes sequentially, supplying sample into the testing apparatus, ejecting the used tubes, and cleaning the sample removing and supplying portions between each supply step.
The just described functions are, in fact, known per se, as evidenced, for example, by apparatuses discloses in the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,418,080; 3,607,097; 3,768,526; 3,883,305; and 4,120,662. General problems with such prior art examples are that they are mechanically and fluidically cumbersome, expensive and not easily adaptable to the needs of many laboratories, where compactness of equipment and close proximity of human operator to instrument is desired. Because of the high cost of testing samples in hospitals and laboratories, economy and simplicity of instrumentation are now becoming the requirements, even more so than highest precision.
Some well known and accepted testing instruments heretofore have not had automatic sample feeding capabilities for reasons including the just named prior art deficiencies. One such instrument is the Coulter Counter� Model S multiparameter blood analyzer. (Coulter Counter is the Registered Trademark No. 679,591 of Coulter Electronics, Inc., Hialeah, Florida.) The system operations of such analyzer are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,549,994. If such an analyzer could receive sample tubes directly from the phlebotomist without any prediluting, or transferring to another vessel, or even opening of the tube, an act which could expose the operator and laboratory to disease, such as hepatitis, and then aspirate an aliquot of the sample from the closed tube for activating normal analyzer testing, all in a compact and inexpensive manner, then a technologic advance would be achieved.
A sample tube receiving cradle is mounted to the sample analyzer, close to its mixing and diluting valve. The cradle receives one sealed sample tube at a time from the human operator, or an infeed arrangement, but handles three tubes in different stages of processing: receipt of tube, activation of analyzer system and sample transfer from tube into the system, and ejection of used tube. After sample transfer, the sample aspiration needle and associated fluid lines are cleaned to avoid intersample contamination and carryover. Cleaning of the needle tip is in a rinse bath, through which the tip reciprocates, on its way to the sealing stopper of the sample tube.
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary view, broken away, of the front of a sample analyzer containing the sample feeding arrangement of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view, partly diagrammatic, of the major components of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the transfer needle and its housing.
With reference to FIG. 1, which shows a portion of the front of a sample analyzer 2, such as a Coulter Counter� Model S blood analyzer, there typically would be one or more aspirator probes 4 which would suck up blood from an open container holding either a whole blood sample or a prediluted blood sample. The open container, not shown, would be brought to the probe tip by the hand of a human operator, who would have received a sealed tube of patient blood from the phlebotomist. The operator would ensure that the sealed tube with its patient sample had been mixed, either manually or by a device such as a Coulter� Bloodmixer (Coulter is the Registered Trademark No. 995,825 of Coulter Electronics, Inc.). Thereupon, the operator would open the tube and present it to the aspirator probe 4, or, if the sample was of very small volume, such as from an infant, the operator would predilute the sample into another open container and then present that container to the aspirator probe. The handling of blood in open containers is not desirable since disease, such as hepatitis, can thereby be transmitted. Of course, if the time required for operator handling could be reduced, a cost savings would be effected. Although blood samples and a blood analyzer are detailed herein, the analyzer could be for other sample substances, as in chemistry, pollution control, etc.
Coupled to the aspirator probes, by fluid lines not shown, is a sample diluting and transfer valve 6, the construction and operation of which can be as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,549,994 or 4,152,391 and now is well known in the hematology analyzer field. Control over the operation of the transfer valve and most other functions of the analyzer is by internal automated programming means 7 as is taught, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,549,994 and same is not impeded by the operation of this new sample feeding arrangement; however, as next will be explained, the sample feeding arrangement adds further automated features and triggers the system cycle through the programming means 7. In prior art analyzers, such as the Model S, when the operator presents the open sample container to the system at the probe 4, the operator next must activate the aspiration by a manual control lever or button 8 on the front of the system. Thereupon, the system programming means 7 takes over control and advances the processing throughout the full system cycle. According to the present invention, the sealed sample tube itself, upon receipt by the sample feeding arrangement, not only will initiate sample transfer, but also initiate the entire and progressive system cycle programming means 7. Hence, the probes 4 and control button need not be used and need not even be part of the system.
The front of the analyzer is provided with a small entry window and guideway or receiving station 10, shaped to the contours of a sample tube or container 12 so as to guide the placement of the sample tube into a cradle 14, which is better viewed in FIG. 2. An input feed tray, not illustrated, can be provided and positioned to open into the guideway 10, for holding a few of the sample tubes 12 and advancing them, one at a time, in the guideway. A used tube discharge port 16 also is provided on the front of the analyzer, for receiving used tubes 12' as they are ejected from the cradle, as will be detailed subsequently. The port 16 can be fitted with a collection tray or the like 17, which would hold a plurality of the used tubes 12' for ease of disposal.
For ease in illustration and viewing, FIG. 2 is rotated approximately 120� from the position shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the cradle 14 has a spindle 18 which is rotatable by a motor 20, or other drive means. Brackets and other mounting and joining hardware are not illustrated, so as to simplify the drawing for ease of viewing. The illustrated cradle is designed to handle three tubes displaced 120� from each other; however, more tubes and other angular displacements could be provided if desired. A pair of similarly notched discs 22 and 24 serve to position the tubes relative to the spindle and each other and have semicircular notches 26 into which the tubes will seat. The longitudinal spacing between the discs 22 and 24 is less than the length of a tube 12, so that the bottom end 28 of the tube will rise above the upper disc 22, and the stopper-sealed opening will be below the lower disc 24 and thereby the face of the stopper 30 will be accessible.
A base plate 32 is at the lower end of the spindle and rotates therewith. In the base plate and axially aligned with the notches 26 are three pass-through orifices 34, (only two of which are shown, the third being in the broken away portion underlying the stopper). Thus aligned, the center of the face of the stopper 30 will be directly above an orifice 34, for reasons to be described. At the upper end of the spindle is a cover member 36, which could be secured to the spindle or be a fixed member, such as part of the mounting bracket for the cradle. The lower surface of the cover member could be provided with cushion means to protect the closed end of the tube 12 during aspiration, at which time the tube is pushed slightly upward by action of the aspiration needle 38.
The FIG. 1 view has the sample tube 12 positioned as if it has just been inserted into the cradle. In FIG. 2, the view is after the cradle has been advanced its first 120� step, so that the tube now is aligned with the needle 38 and also the pass-through orifice 34 which underlies the stopper 30. Also as shown, the cradle lies at an angle of approximately 45� with respect to vertical, so that gravity will cause the liquid sample to be at the stopper end of the tube. Hence, when the needle punctures the stopper, it will not encounter air at the interior side of the stopper.
After the sample aliquot has been drawn from the tube 12 and the needle 38 has withdrawn from the stopper and the orifice 34 to a position below the base plate 32, the motor 20 will be activated to again step the cradle 120� to place the used tube into the discharge position, at which gravity will cause the tube to drop free from the notches 26 and fall to the level of the discharge port 16 and be received by the tray 17. To prevent a sample tube from moving outward of the notches after loading and prior to reaching the discharge position, there can be provided a curved retainer member 40 which closely overlies the cradle for approximately 180�, terminating at the discharge position. Only a fragment of the retainer 40 is illustrated, for ease of viewing. The retainer can be a portion of the cradle bracket mounting means.
A sensing element 42, such as a microswitch, is located to be activated by the presence of a sample tube 12 as it enters the window 10 and seats into the cradle 14 as is positioned in FIG. 1. Such switch can be mounted to the inside of the front of the instrument, as shown in FIG. 1. When activated, this switch 42 will engage the motor 20 to rotate the cradle approximately 120� and align the sample tube with the aspiration needle 38, as shown in FIG. 2. When the sample tube achieves the desired alignment, a second sensor element, such as a microswitch 44, is engaged and it initiates the full system cycle of the entire analyzer, including the sample feeder.
Preferably, it is the tube itself and not another object which engages the switch 44. The making of the switch 44 activates the system programming means, which thereupon carries out all other system control--both analyzer and feeder.
The aspiration needle 38 is secured into a needle housing 46. The housing is secured to a drive means 48, such as a solenoid or air piston, for reciprocating the needle into and out from the tube 12, through the stopper 30. The housing 46 has a fluid line connector 50 to which is coupled a fluid line 52 (shown in FIG. 3) leading to the diluting and transfer valve 6. The needle 38 is coaxial, with its central bore forming a passageway feeding into the fluid line 52. The entry into the central bore is at a port 54 near, but not quite at, the needle tip. The port 54 is spaced from the tip so that the port does not become plugged by any piece of the stopper 30 which might break loose during penetration. The second fluid path within the coaxial needle is for venting the sealed tube to atmosphere during aspiration of the sample. As well known, contents of a sealed container cannot be withdrawn unless there is displacement by a substance, such as air, into the container. A vent port 56 and a vent line connector 58 are at the ends of the vent passageway and couple to a vent line 60.
A rinse bath 62 is interposed in the path of the needle tip and is fixedly mounted. The bath forms a closed chamber, except for a drain 64, and needle entry and exit bores 66 and 68. The bores are aligned with the pass-through orifice 34 of the base plate 32 for the aspiration position, as shown in FIG. 2. The size and orientation of the bath 62 are such that, in the normally retracted position of the needle 38 as shown in FIG. 2, the needle tip, the sample entry port 54 and the vent port 56 all lie within the bath. When in this retracted position, for a portion of the total system cycle, the fluid line 52 and the vent line 60 are coupled to sources of rinse fluid, which fluid is fed through both paths of the coaxial needle and into the bath chamber via the ports 54 and 56. Rinse fluid flowing from the vent port 56 will clean the outside of the needle tip. After liquid rinsing, the vent line is coupled to a source of clean air or gas and blown clean and dry. The fluid line 52 and the central bore of the needle is to remain filled with the rinse liquid until the next aliquot is drawn, thereby avoiding the problem of trapped air in the aspirating system.
The sequencing of the sample feeding arrangement has, for the most part, been described hereinabove, but next will be summarized. A sample tube 12 is placed through the entry window 10 and trips the switch 42 to activate the motor 20 to advance the cradle 14 so that the tube is in the aspirating position shown in FIG. 2. Thereupon, the switch 44 initiates the system cycle, via the programming means 7, the first portion of which causes the drive means 48 to advance the needle 38 and its housing 46 upward, such that the needle tip is moved from within the rinse bath 62 to within the sample tube 12, of course through the stopper 30. At this juncture, the well known analyzer system operations commence without any manual interaction. First, sample aspiration is accomplished, with sample being drawn through the needle and the fluid line 52 into the diluting and transfer valve 6. Aspiration into the valve and further system operations can be as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,549,994.
At times convenient to the system cycle, the drive means 48 returns the needle tip to the rinse bath 62, where the previously described fluid wash, air clean-dry and clean rinse fill steps are accomplished, with the feeder motor stepping ahead 120� to cause the just used sample tube to be dropped into the discharge port 16 and tray 17. If a new sample tube trips the switch 42 early during the sequencing of the system steps, its command to the motor 20 is acknowledges but not utilized until later in the system cycle, when the system next can accept a new sample.
It is believed that the disclosed embodiment will enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention and that variations and substitutions of equivalents are capable of being made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Skip to comments.Signs of financial strain showing up for Romney (Shocker: Staff Cutbacks at Team Romney!)
Posted on 03/15/2012 6:46:38 PM PDT by jimbo123
The long and increasingly messy Republican presidential contest is starting to hit Mitt Romney where it hurts most: his wallet.
New signs of financial stress are emerging in Romney's campaign, which has built a wide lead in delegates thanks in part to the might of his bank account and multistate operation. As rival Rick Santorum's surprising strength keeps extending the nomination battle, Romney has scaled back expenses, trimmed field staff in some cases and begun to count more on free media coverage to reach voters.
But it's less encouraging for the campaign that the money is badly needed to re-fill coffers that had sunk close to their lowest levels since Romney launched his presidential effort last year.
It's unclear if he will tap his own personal wealth.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Sounds like his backers are getting weary.
As long as a 200% interest rate doesn't bother him, he could probably hit up his Chicago buddy, Barry Soetoro, for a street loan.
Mitt's large donors are all tapped out legally, and there are NO small donors to speak of. But, he's got millions of his own money to pour into his campaign as well as the LDS nationwide network.
As soon as he puts his own money in he is done. It is a curse.
He spent the majority of it on taking out Newt. Apparently the till is running low on cash. Hahahaha.
The old GOP organization isn't what it used to be. Mittens has blown through a fortune destroying conservatives, and the old guard is tapped out.
Santorum is at 1.8 million since Tuesday. This might get interesting.
For a guy who is supposed to be a brilliant business man, he sure is stupid about how he has spent his campaign funding.
What was he thinking to out spend the others 10-1, 20-1 in some states.
I just do not think he as brilliant in business as he has been portrayed, it does a man well to be propelled by first his dad then his homies.
Santorum is at 1.8 million since Tuesday. This might get interesting.
Mittens could not beat lame Juan McShamnesty 4 years ago. The man don't know his limitations.
Romney campaign is being run by the Ken Mehlman mafia from the Bush RNC.
It seems that the friends of Mehlman including Matt Drudge/Rhoades, Ann Coulter and the rest are intentionally sabotaging Romney's campaign with their outrageously wasteful campaign expenses.
Its expensive being inevitable.
Does that clown have a name?
You'll know it's really bad when Willard has to lay off three-quarters of his voters.
He chose to spend multiple millions of dollars trying to destroy whichever opponent was gaining on him. He acted like his campaign had endless money. But it doesn't.
His behavior does worry me with how he would manage the federal budget.
He could have conserved his money and campaigned like Santorum and Newt. A little more positive and not quite so nasty. Does he really think that 10 nasty ads an hour is that much more effective than one every two hours?
But all he knows how to do is tear down his opponent. Wouldn't it work better to just try to get people to like you better than your opponent? But if you can turn your opponent into the devil, I guess you will look good no matter how pathetic and weak you are.
Didn't Romney tell his staffers that he enjoyed firing people?
Ever since the 2008 primary, I've contended that NONE of those jerks were qualified to run in 2012. If they couldn't beat McCain -- the weakest GOP candidate since Alf Landon in 1936 -- they had no business trying to run for President ever again.
That's why I now think Romney's campaign manager Matt Rhoades and his BFF Matt Drudge are intentionally sabotaging his campaign. Rhoades is a protegee of Ken Mehlman and the Bush RNC.
IMHO. it's more of a case that he feels he has it locked up with approval from his GOP royalty. He's used to running with a lean, mean bunch of suits, isn't he?
Heard that Mrs. Mittens said no to putting in tons of their own money like he did in '08.(How'd that work out for ya, Mittens?)
Actually I don't believe a word of this. I think it's a rumor started by the Romney campaign to make him seem like a regular guy or to get sympathy and more money.
Mittens wants this so badly, he'd sell his own family to win..or at least the dog, who is deceased on top of the car anyway.
Thats why I now think Romneys campaign manager Matt Rhoades and his BFF Matt Drudge are intentionally sabotaging his campaign. Rhoades is a protegee of Ken Mehlman and the Bush RNC.
What do you mean, Jimbo?
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull. W.C. Fields
I spent considerable time wading through this searching for something having to do with Mitt's fading finances. Maybe I'm just too tired, but I could find NOTHING. Or just maybe NOTHING was there.
Let's focus on denying the nomination to Mitts.
Now, why would they do *THAT*?

With Nokia's mobile phone market share finally on a (scanty) rise, the Microsoft-subsidiary-to-be can't take any time off from working on future Lumia and Asha family additions. Not even during the holidays.
Thus, rumor has it CES 2014 in January or MWC in February will bring to light at least two new Nokia handhelds. The first, codenamed Moneypenny, is now said to be branded as Lumia 630 or 635, apparently "depending on configuration." And possibly, on region.
As the number combo suggests, this ain't no top dog, Galaxy S4 or Note 3 "killer." However, it might make a few waves as it's supposed to be a road-opener of sorts. Namely, it's going to accommodate two SIM cards at once, which no previous Lumia has been able to do.
The rest of the features? They're mostly kept under wraps, save for the display, believed to measure 4.5 inches.
As for the little guy formerly known just as the "Spinel", @evleaks tells us the market name is destined to be Asha 230. The spec sheet is a total blur here too, albeit the moniker reveals a little something, something: physical QWERTY keyboard and a panel circling 2.5 inches a la this year's [easyazon-link asin="B00ED4PN2O" locale="us"]Asha 210[/easyazon-link].
Way to start 2014 on the right foot, Nokia, though we sure hope the high-end Lumia Icon is also coming sooner rather than later.

My Best Banana Pudding Dessert
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 0 mins
I have been asked to make this every year at Thanksgiving. Thought I would share my way of making banana pudding.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (5 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 ounce) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 (11 ounce) boxnabsico vanilla wafers
- 5 -6 vine ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
- In a large mixing bowl beat together vanilla pudding mix and milk for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken. Blend in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and fold in the thawed Cool Whip.
- In a 13x9x2 glass dish layer the bottom with Nilla wafers, add a layer of sliced bananas over top of wafers. Pour enough pudding mixture over top of the first layer of wafers and bananas to cover,leaving some pudding for more layers.
- Repeat layers of wafers,bananas and pudding.
- End with a few wafers on top.
- Cover and chill in refrigerator for several hours.

Really good and very easy. It's like my go to recipe with the addition of the sweetened condensed milk. Mine did not firm up well - no soupy but definitely does not look like the photos. Regardless, it's pudding so it's all good!! Next time I will add more Nilla wafers to make it stand up a bit more. By accident I picked up a box of the little wafers rather than the normal size. That may have been the issue with consistency.
Delicious! I have made this many times and our whole family loves it! I wouldn't change a thing. It turns out perfect everytime.

Barclays Premier League new boys Hull have shelved a move for the striker after he failed a medical.
It came as the Tigers had looked to be closing in on a reported £4.5million deal for the 24-year-old, who scored 28 goals last season, as he underwent checks on Monday night.
No details of the medical have been revealed, although Austin has a history of shoulder problems.
The frontman has now been omitted from Burnley's squad for Tuesday's friendly against League Two side Morecambe at the Globe Arena, although he is expected to link up with his team-mates on their five-day pre-season trip to Ireland which gets underway on Thursday.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche told the club's official website: "Because of the situation, we have given Charlie a day off to spend time with his family and ready his thoughts before he joins us on the trip to Cork."

A dog and a robot help kids reach their potential
The kids at the Child Development School at UC Irvine love their pal Rusty, who would win a school popularity contest hands down if someone took a vote.
They're also crazy about Carl, another friend at the innovative school. Everybody wants to play with Carl.
Actually, both Rusty and Carl have little in common with their playmates. Rusty is a dog and Carl is a robot. But each plays an important role at the school, where teachers use a reward system to reinforce the positive behavior of students, most of whom have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism or other neuro-developmental conditions.
In Rusty's case, the reward takes the form of petting, playing and giving big hugs. A typical lesson goes something like this: Rusty, a sweet-tempered Golden Retriever, sits on a dog bed in the classroom while a group of 8- and 9-year-olds, seated at a table nearby, talks with a teacher about social skills. "Were you angry with anyone today? What did you do?" Eventually, each child takes a turn sitting on the floor with Rusty, petting her, scratching her head, occasionally curling up next to her. Rusty takes it all in stride.
All of these kids have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. But when they're with Rusty, they're calm and engaged.
Our first- through sixth-grade school, the only one of its kind in the region, has 81 students. In addition, a new middle school program will begin accepting seventh-graders in fall. This program for young adolescents focuses on helping these kids learn to advocate for themselves with a strong emphasis on building self-regulation and self-motivation skills.
Directed by the UC Irvine School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics in collaboration with the Orange County Healthcare Agency, it was founded in the 1980s with the premise that behavioral interventions could produce results with or without medication. That premise remains the heart of the school today. It focuses on both the child and the family.
Most of the children have behaviors that make it difficult for them to succeed in traditional school: they may be impulsive, or unable to concentrate, or distracted. The Child Development School works with them and their parents to help them return to the typical school setting as quickly as possible.
We know pet therapy is a plus for these students: I led a four-year, $2.2-million study that showed how interaction with animals helps children with ADHD improve their social skills and control their symptoms.
When they behave well, they get more face time with Rusty or other therapy dogs that visit the school. We constantly tell them when they're doing things right. These kids need more positive feedback than other students.
Carl the robot, another playtime perk for children who behave well, also offers feedback. The surface of its body is covered with LED lights that display in various colors when the robot is touched or petted. The goal is for the user to get comfortable interacting with an object that responds to his or her actions. Designed by UC Irvine cognitive scientist Jeff Krichmar, Ph.D, Carl is aimed at improving relationships and social engagement in children with autism or other developmental disorders.
This is something these children wouldn't get in a traditional school setting where they might have trouble making friends or difficulty regulating their emotions. Many have temper tantrums. They talk too much in class and get kicked out. The Child Development School offers a different approach: The overarching goal is to help students reach their social, emotional, and academic potential.
These kids have so much potential. We want to unlock it.
For more information about the school program or to schedule a tour, call 949-824-2343.

Montpelier Seminars
James Madison believed that an educated citizenry was necessary to maintain our form of government. Therefore, the future of the United States lies in educating citizens with the knowledge, understanding, and ability to ensure that our democracy will continue to thrive.
The Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at James Madison's Montpelier offers intensive, content-rich programs taught by nationally recognized scholars. The programs involve concentrated immersion in the Constitution and founding, fostering the impassioned exchange of ideas among scholars and peers. These professional development opportunities are supported by teacher scholarships, and most are provided at significantly reduced or no cost.
Studying constitutionalism at Montpelier - the very place where James Madison thought more profoundly and creatively about our American form of government than any other person - is a rich and powerful experience that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
Seminar topics change yearly; click the link above to learn about this year's course schedule.
Virginia and Washington, DC We the People
The Center for the Constitution is the Virginia and Washington, DC sponsor of the We the People program. We the People is a nationally acclaimed civic education curriculum designed to engage students in upper elementary, middle, and high school on their knowledge of the Constitution. Teachers who participate in We the People seminars will study the history and principles of the U.S. Constitution and become familiar with the content, strategies, and authentic assessment tools in the We the People curriculum.
Each year, the Center for the Constitution hosts regional and state Virginia We the People competitions and citywide Washington, DC We the People competitions.

Subject: Fwd: Your order 6313368 to C.....R...... has been updated per your request.
To: email@example.com
Yesterday my wife and I recently celebrated our one year anniversary. I wanted to make this first anniversary special for her so I used JUSTFLOWERS.COM to place an order for delivery on JUNE 13..
After paying almost $60, guess what--my wife didn't receive her flowers and yeah, I got lots of lip service with a "GOLLY GEE I'M SO SORRY" from JUSTFLOWERS.COM but as of 2:30PM, she has yet to receive flowers that were supposed to be delivered yesterday. Their concession to me--$7.50 off my next order...HELLO PEOPLE...you couldn't get the first order right the first time OR the second time so walk me through the process of why I should give you a THIRD TIME?
This company needs a STRONG MESSAGE to this company that (1) this is NOT the way to do business; and, (2) if this is the way your company does business you won't do it with our money. Feel free to email their customer service department to let them know that this is UNACCEPTABLE.
I know there are lots of birthdays, anniversaries, and life events coming up but using this company to celebrate the event is NOT THE WAY TO GO.
Honey, I am so sorry that JUSTFLOWERS is JUSTPISSPOOR. I should have listened to my gut instinct and went with 1800FLOWERS.

And it passed first time with no advisories
Well done! :thumbsup:
Brilliant news.
Mine was like that year.
One of the greatest feelings in the world I think.
I've never had a car fail yet, but i was close this year due to a blowing exhaust and a CV boot that wouldnt stay on.
Luckily the bloke only advised on the exhaust, and the CV boot managed to stay on long enough to drive to the test centre and get thru the test!
Always sit there with a clenched arse every time i go though!
I'm not looking forward to mine in March, anybody passed in an S4 with no cats? Ha!
You'll need a friendly tester for that one lol.

Steven Gamache Facing Hydrocodone Possession Charge
by David P. Greisman
Steven Gamache — a junior middleweight who is the son of former two-division titleholder Joey Gamache — was arrested last week in Maine after allegedly being found with two hydrocodone pills in his possession, according to the Lewiston-Auburn Sun Journal.
Gamache, 29, had been pulled over during a traffic stop and did not have a prescription for the drug, according to the article.
"Police said Gamache told the officer a co-worker had given him the pills to treat an unspecified medical condition," the article said.
Gamache made his pro debut in August 2010 and has fought four times, going 4-0 with one victory coming by way of knockout. His last appearance was in October, a four-round decision win over a 4-10-1 fighter named Jose Angel Ortiz, according to BoxRec.com.
His father, Joey Gamache, fought between 1987 and 2000, winning a title at junior lightweight in 1991 and at lightweight in 1992. Joey Gamache's last fight was a second-round knockout loss to Arturo Gatti.

Woman jailed on burglary chargeAugust 06,2014Woman jailed on burglary charges
A Rutland woman was jailed Tuesday on $25,000 bail, charged with breaking into a home on Wheelerville Road in Mendon and stealing several items including two cases of beer.
Lynn M. Campeau, 37, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of burglary and a misdemeanor count of unlawful mischief.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail at $25,000 for Campeau, who remained in the Rutland jail Tuesday evening.
Vermont State Police arrested Campeau after receiving a call Monday from a woman who said she gave the woman a ride to a home on the remote dirt road Sunday to grab items Campeau said shed left at her mothers home there.
The woman told police Campeau directed her to a home on the road and then told her that her mother had forgotten to give her a key so she had to climb through a basement window to get in, according to court records.
Campeau eventually came out with several bags, and as they were driving away Campeau allegedly began laughing and confessed to her friend that her mother didnt own a camp.
Campeaus friend, who police say was worried that she had been an unwitting accomplice, told police about the incident and troopers spoke with the Wheelerville homes owner, who reported minor damage to his locks and two cases of beer missing.
Police say they later recovered the beer from Campeaus refrigerator.MORE IN This Just InColleges merger

I'm reading this book called, Essentialism – The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, trying to get some ideas and be inspired.
I've always been a big fan of the minimalism movement, even though it's a little hard for me sometimes because I naturally like to collect things, be it out of curiosity or just survival instincts or I don't like to waste things I think I'll be using later on or my splurging habits….I'm actually the worst type of person to be a minimalist.
Anyways, my point was that there was a line that I really liked in the book, to paraphrase – it's to invest on yourself. We're so enamoured by the external distractions and stimulation that we discard one of the most important things in our lives; our mind, body & spirit.
Now, there are some schools of thought that totally discards the physical plane and if that is what they want to do, I can respect that but it's the end all truth – that's why I'm quite fond of the LHP as well, it strives to reach a next level but always grounded. There's a reason this plane of existence exists, it's not a hell for us to try to break out of.
This post has 2 points that I will eventually get to, lol. Just a couple of train of thoughts that came out to reading this book.
One is that invest on yourself, really look at your time and if you think you are doing this much for yourself, allocate 25% more on yourself. Not drown yourself w/ material things but enrich your mind, body and spirit with the things you truly enjoy. If you really want to nap all the time, then so be it, lol. If you're action extraordinaire who makes James Bond life look like the Hardy Boys, then power to you.
My second point/thought is that minimalism is essentially baring one to the core of themselves without the trappings we put on to hide or blend in or whatever. That's what I think of magick too, trying to bare it to the core components that can work at the level or any module/technique.
Overall, I didn't like how the book was written but I like the message and the advice it gave out. It's very lifehackcentric but TBH, I've read most of the tips online already.

I remember as a kid getting both soap and vinegar put into my mouth for either interrupting someone or talking back, I remember being spanked with a belt, spoon, switch, or I was told to "go pick a stick". I always learned to not grab the skinny sticks because those hurt the worst ha ha. I was popped in the mouth a couple times too, but I'm pretty sure I deserved that, I got pretty mouthy at times, LOL.

Is anyone really really scared of the swine flu. I know Im tired of talking and hearing about it also but I live in Arlington (really close to Ft Worth). In Ft Worth they closed ALL their school and then this morning I got news they cancelled Mayfest (my niece was going to dance there) and I was ok with it all until I got these to bits of info. I sent my kids to school with hand sanitizer in their pockets but man I'm starting to want to keep them home. Am I reading to much into this or am I not alone?
got to ask..swine flu
Wife to Chris and mommy to four perfect children
Alyssa 07/20/99. Georgia 10/27/01, Braden07/09/03 and our lil suprise Logan 06/18/08
I wanted to keep my ODS home too, but I sent him anyway. They had a scare at his school (in Denton County) but it's just the regular flu. I have an almost 10 month old and it does scare me, I don't think he could handle it, he's already so sick all the time. I also worry about myself b/c I have a really bad immune system and when I get sick, I get REALLY sick. The regular flu knocks me on my butt for a good 2 weeks, I'm talking, can barely move, fever of no less then 102 at all times, puking, the whole nine, it's NOT pretty. I can only imagine what something even worse would do! I have 3 kids and it is SO hard taking care of them, but ALL of them would be near impossible... I had the older two have strep at the same time and it was a nightmare!
Jennifer wife�to�Jeremy, Loving mommy to: Bailey 3/6/01 Kaylee 1/9/05� & Lucas 7/3/08
We are being careful. We live in Frisco and have a 3 month old son. We really don't want to take him out into enclosed public places in less we have to. Thank goodness Tyler isn't in daycare or I would really be nervous-- we work opposite shifts. On top of us not wanting our little one to get sick, neither one of us can afford to get sick and miss work.
You think that true love is the only thing that can crush your heart; that will take your life & light it up or destroy it. Then you become a mom.
I'm in midcities. I am probably just as anxious about the daycare closing as I am about the flu itself. Right now both would be pretty bad for me.
It's because crazy pants lied.
I think Ft Worth closed as a percaution - not for actual confirmed cases. I live in Richardson - we've had 3 confirmed cases but all at the same school. I'm sort of worried about them closing the ISD b/c then our daycare would also close (they go by what the ISD does) and we don't have any other back up for daycare - and I don't have any time off of work.
Fortunately, he goes to a small daycare and we have decided not to take him anywhere besides there and home. Any other errands have to be run when either DH or I are there to stay home with him. It's definitely got my attention anyway.
Hope everyone stays healthy. Lots of handwashing.
Oh and Jennifer - from what I understand it's not "worse" than regular flu, perse... its just a different strain. So you probably wouldn't get any sicker, it's just that it seems to spread very easily between people. Hope that puts your mind at ease a little - not that I would wish any type of flu on anyone..it's miserable!
~*Chrissy*~ Mommy to Tristan-12/18/07 and Kaitlyn-03/04/10
I'm in Richardson about 2 miles away from the school & daycare they shut down. We are staying inside - no playdates, no stores, no parks, not even church for a while. I have a two year old and I'm pregnant. It is headed towards a pandemic...they wouldn't make a big deal about it if they weren't serious! I just saw on the news that if it were to be like the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918 that over 700,000 people in DFW would become ill. That is an alarming rate! It is scary! Besides, I got the regular flu a few years ago and I seriously thought I was facing death. My fever was 107 and I couldn't even move. I ended up in the ER....I can't risk my unborn baby and my toddler with this one. I wouldn't be as concerned if I was in a state that didn't have it going around yet...but we aren't...it's too close to home!
So...wash, wash, wash your hands!!!
Me & Hubs <3
B(1/07) K(11/09) W(6/13) & L/L Twins (3/16)
I'm in Denton and they closed 2 schools today and rescheduled DD's school dance. I am more scared about her school closing than anything else. I just had to take almost a week off work for me being sick and I don't know what I would do if her school closed and there was no daycare.
Mom to A 12/01 and K 07/09
1 furbaby
One question...Why is everything closed until May 11th? Is that a "magical" day or something?
Mom to A 12/01 and K 07/09
1 furbaby
it gives them all next week to sanitize and get things cleaned really well, it's not this coming Monday, but next...
Jennifer wife�to�Jeremy, Loving mommy to: Bailey 3/6/01 Kaylee 1/9/05� & Lucas 7/3/08
We're being cautious but not overly worried. My kids are both at daycare because we have to work. They're taking precautions there. More people die each year from the regular flu than this.... so it seems to me like it's not something to just worry yourself sick about, you know?
I know that it's scary to hear things like what would happen with something like the Spanish flu from 1918... but I'd like to think we've advanced enough medically since then, that we wouldn't have those outcomes.
Everyone be safe!
Elaine, proud mommy to
Reese (12/05) and Grant (7/08) and Bree, our Team Green Baby (4/11)
True, true. I'm worried too but like pp said, it's not 1918. We have all sorts of Lysol disinfectant spray, hand sanitizer, indoor plumbing, etc. The reason they are closing school for so long is because this strain has a longer incubation period than the regular flu. (That is, you can have it without symptoms and be spreading it without knowing it for days before you 'get' or 'feel' sick.) General flu and cold germs only live on objects for like 48 hours, but they are taking extra measures to ensure our kids' safety, which we all can appreciate. I'm glad they are taking precautions. I'm sad it's closing, but I'm erroring on the safe side because babies and elderly are the highest risk for death of any illness because of weakened or under-developed immune systems. That poor tot in Houston, I cry every time I think of it!
Stay safe!

Three women have been sexually assaulted by strangers on or near the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus this week, and police believe two of the assaults may have been committed by the same man.
"It's incredibly rare for us to have this many sexual assaults in such a close time frame and geographic proximity," said Madison Police Department spokesman Joel DeSpain.
The incidents are drawing particular attention because they come so close to the start of a new school year.
Eighty to 85% of sexual assaults are committed by a suspect who knows the victim, according to Kelly Anderson of the Dane County Rape Crisis Center. But the three women who reported being sexually assaulted in downtown Madison this week said they did not recognize their assailants. In two of the cases, the women were likely followed before being attacked, DeSpain said.
The most recent incident occurred on campus early Friday morning, when a 21-year-old woman walking home from the State St. area was sexually assaulted by a stranger in an alleyway near 21 N. Park St. The description of the suspect — a white male, 5-foot-11 to 6-foot-2, with a muscular build, brown spiked hair and facial stubble — reminded DeSpain of the description of the suspect in an assault that took place five days earlier.
In that incident, a woman asleep in her W. Mifflin St. apartment awoke early Sunday to a stranger touching her through her underwear. Police say the stranger — described as a white male, 5 feet, 11 inches tall, 200 pounds, with dark-brown spiked hair and facial stubble — may have entered the apartment through a door left unlocked after a party.
UW police spokesman Marc Lovicott acknowledged the two incidents could be related. He echoed DeSpain's concerns.
"For whatever reason, we're seeing an uptick in stranger sexual assault," Lovicott said. "It's very rare, and it has occurred before school even starts."
The remaining incident does not appear to be connected to the other two. A 21-year-old woman was walking on Fahrenbrook Court Wednesday before dawn when a tall black male grabbed her from behind, threatened to shoot her and sexually assaulted her in a parking lot.
No suspects have been identified in any of the three assaults. Madison police, UW police and the Dane County Sheriff's Office are involved in the investigations.
Police and university officials increased safety messages to students this week, including a YouTube video with tips for young people who are out late at night. In the video, Madison Police Lt. Dave McCaw advises students to stay in groups and monitor their surroundings.
"Evil bad guys search for weak victims, because victims are usually by themselves, and stumbling drunk," McCaw said.
Anderson, of the Rape Crisis Center, acknowledged the necessity for increased caution, but warned against messages that could be seen as blaming the victim.
"Rather than talking about the choices the victim made, we should think about the fact that someone went out looking for someone to rape," she said.
She added: "Getting raped is not a natural consequence of walking alone at night."

Founder: Tommy Nutter
Year Founded: Founded 1969 as Nutters of Savile Row
In 1969, the idea that a tailor could be a designer was revolutionary, almost absurd. But there was a new aesthetic movement underway in the UK, and Tommy Nutter stood alongside rock and rollers at the forefront. Nutter founded his house with help from Peter Brown, managing director of Apple Corps (the Beatles' corporate arm), among others, and his tastes were decidedly un-staid. His signature was an insanely bold look, with wide lapels, outrageous pattern-matching and bold colors. Nutter established the idea that a tailor could also make fashion, and forever changed menswear.

By now, you must have heard about Tom Perkins' letter to the Wall Street Journal (Progressive Kristallnacht Coming?), where he made a foolish comparison to the "parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its 'one percent,' namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the 'rich.' "
The PR disaster Perkins ignited – yeah, he is that Perkins from venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins – ignited a firestorm. The reaction was so intense he had to go on Bloomberg TV to sort of, but not quite, apologize. In the course of his comments, he said something several other really dumb things (you may be detecting a pattern here) on unrelated subjects.
But the thing which really stood out to me was his plea for lower taxes. Perkins said: "Upon my death the government will take 45%" of my estate.
To which I am compelled to respond: Only if you are an idiot.
Or, perhaps, if you were on the way to your lawyer's office when you got hit by a bus, and died intestate (without a will), then that makes sense as well. Short of those things occurring, no one in America actually pays 45% in estate taxes. It is simply too easy to avoid paying estate taxes.

INVERNESS, Fla. (AP) - The attorney for convicted child killer John Couey gets another chance to save his life Tuesday.
A Florida jury has already convicted him for kidnapping, raping and burying alive nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford two years ago.
The judge is not bound by the jury recommendation of a death sentence,
but is required to give it "great weight."
At Tuesday's sentencing hearing, Couey's attorney is expected to argue it would be illegal to execute Couey because he is mentally retarded. He will instead ask that Couey be sentenced to life in prison.
Jessica Lunsford's death led to tougher laws for tracking sex offenders and punishing repeat offenders nationwide. Couey has a longstanding criminal record and was designated a sex offender in 1991.

The McDonald's at Washington and Stuart streets closed for good on Friday after 25 years of being the only McDonald's in Boston with Chinese signs and a quasi-pagoda entrance decorated with Chinese-style lanterns.
No word if it's being replaced by a juice bar, which seems to be the thing in Chinatown these days. The Chinese-language Dunkin' Donuts seemed to be doing a thriving business down the street today.
