This application hereby incorporates the disclosure of, is a continuation in part of, and claims under 35 U.S.C. �120 as its effective filing date, the filing date of the present inventor's prior copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/127,725, filed on Aug. 3, 1998.
The present invention relates to protectors or supports such as splints, for the support or protection of an extremity or other body part. More particularly, the invention relates to a splint in the form of one or more sheets that is stiff in a first direction and rollable in a second direction.
Splints and other types of supports and protective means, per se, are well known in the medical art. Splints generally include a rigid member with some means of fastening the member to a body part. U.S. Pat. No. 3,695,258 to Castle discloses a disposable splint that is made of multiple sheets of material such as paper. The splint is stiff in a first direction and rollable in a direction perpendicular to said first direction. Other common means to support and protect body parts are elastic orthopedic bandages that are adjustable e.g. via a VELCRO™ fastener. U.S. Pat. No. 5,036,838 to Sherman discloses an orthopedic bandage that can include stays inserted between two layers of the fabric of the bandage to provide additional support for an extremity or other body part wrapped in said bandage.
The splint of the present invention was originally developed for the treatment of trigger finger. Trigger finger is a condition in which an afflicted finger spontaneously snaps into a flexed position when the finger is at rest. The afflicted finger then needs to be pulled into position. The snapping can cause sharp pain and swelling. A frequent cause of trigger finger is overuse of the afflicted finger.
The conventional treatment for trigger finger involves either injections whenever the problem occurs or surgery. The injections can be painful and the surgical treatment usually requires the patient to rest the operated finger for extended periods. The inventor of the present invention searched for alternative treatments for her trigger finger since she was not willing to either undergo further painful injections or to stop working for an extended period of time after a surgical intervention.
Since the snapping usually occurred at night she experimented with devices that she could wear at night to prevent her finger from snapping. Surprisingly, she found that wearing the inventive splint at night and taking it off during the day not only prevented the finger from snapping at night, but provided permanent relief. She no longer needs to wear the splint and is symptom free.
During further experimentation, she discovered that the inventive splint has wider application than the treatment of trigger finger. For example wearing the inventive splint on the toe next to her big toe relieved the pain of a bunion. U.S. Reissue Pat. No. 34,753 to Groiso mentions the use of rigid molded splints to treat trigger finger. However, Groiso failed to disclose treatment of trigger finger with splints similar to those of the present inventor. Thus, the present invention has, among other things, filled a need for splints that are easy to don and remove, and readily reuseable and useful in the treatment of trigger finger and for other purposes disclosed herein.
In a first aspect, the invention represents a splint for a body part which comprises at least one sheet of woven fabric. This sheet has, in a first direction, sufficient stiffness, when rolled and secured about the body part, to substantially resist bending of the body part. Moreover, the sheet is sufficiently compliant in a second direction, cross-wise relative to the first direction, to permit easy rolling of the sheet about the body part when the latter extends generally in said first direction. Finally, the splint comprises fastening means to secure the splint in rolled condition about the body part when the splint and sheet are rolled about a line extending in the first direction.
In another aspect, the invention is a splint for use on, and in caring for or treating, a body part of a living entity, said support comprising at least one thin sheet of fabric. In this aspect, the sheet has, extending in a first direction, a first set of fibers that are integrated with the weave of the sheet and that contribute to the sheet an amount of stiffness in the first direction which is sufficient, when the sheet is rolled and secured about the body part, to afford opposition against bending of the body part. Extending in a second direction in the sheet, said direction being cross-wise relative to the first direction, a second set of fibers is woven into the sheet, said second set of fibers and the sheet having sufficient flexibility to permit convenient manual rolling of the support about the body part when the latter is extended generally in the first direction. The sheet also has sufficient permeability to pass substances between the inner and outer surfaces of the rolled support. At least part of the sheet is a load-bearing portion of the support, non-hardenable under ordinary conditions of use, able to resist circumferential and/or bending loads. There is also at least one fastening device including hooks on a first portion of the splint and cooperating loops elsewhere on the splint to maintain the splint in rolled condition about the body part.
In still another aspect, the invention may or may not be a splint but in any event will constitute a support for use on, and in caring for or treating, a body part of any kind of living entity, whether of a human, an animal or a plant. The support comprises at least one sheet of woven fabric. The fabric has, extending in a first direction, a first set of members that are connected with the sheet and that contribute to the sheet an amount of stiffness in the first direction which is sufficient, when the sheet is rolled and secured about the body part, to afford support to the body part. Extending in a second direction in the sheet, said direction being cross-wise relative to the first direction, a second set of members is woven into the sheet. This second set of members and the sheet are sufficiently compliant to permit easy rolling of the sheet about the body part when the latter is extended generally in the first direction. At least part of the sheet, including at least part of the first set of members, is a load-bearing portion of the support. At least one fastener is secured to and positioned in or on the support to maintain the support in rolled condition about the body part.
In yet another aspect, the invention represents a method of treating trigger finger. The method comprises wearing, on at least one finger, a splint or support having the features of any of the foregoing aspects of the invention. In this method, the device is worn at any convenient time, and preferably during a period of sleep.
The invention also includes a variety of preferred embodiments in which the splints or other supports of any of the above-described aspects may have, be or include any one or any combination of the following features:
a span in the first direction which is at least a substantial portion of the length of, and is up to about the length of, a human digit;
a span in the first direction which is at least a substantial portion of the length of, and is up to about the length of, a human finger, and overlaps in its span at least two finger joints;
first and second edges separated from one another in the second direction and having sufficient expanse in the second direction to support the body part in the first direction when the support is rolled securely about said digit but having insufficient expanse in the second direction for the edges to overlap on another;
first and second edges separated from one another in the second direction and having sufficient expanse in the second direction for the edges to overlap one another when the support is rolled securely about said digit;
an overlap which is at least 20% of the diameter of the rolled support, or which extends about less than the entire periphery of the support, or which is up to 50% of the diameter of the rolled support;
not hardenable;
sufficient permeability to pass substances between the inner and outer surfaces of the rolled support;
a fastening device that comprises hook means on a first portion of the support and cooperating loop means elsewhere on the support to maintain the support in rolled condition about said body part;
hook means and loop means that respectively comprise hook fabric and loop fabric;
hook fabric and loop fabric that are each within the outline of the sheet;
hook fabric which extends outside the outline of the sheet;
first and second edges separated from one another in the second direction and have sufficient expanse in the second direction for the edges to overlap one another when the support is rolled securely about said digit and wherein the hook fabric is at one of the edges and the loop fabric is at the other of the edges;
hook fabric and loop fabric which are in the form of elongated strips located at said edges and running along said edges substantially in the first direction; at least one or both of said strips extending substantially throughout the span of the support in the first direction;
as a fastening device, an adhesive bond between overlapping portions of the support;
fabric with a weave including warp and weft formed of materials of differing stiffness, one of which is semi-rigid and the other of which is soft and pliable;
fabric with a weave including warp with a stiffness similar to that of the bristles of a hairbrush and weft in the form of compliant thread;
fabric that includes thermoplastic fibers;
fabric that is partly or fully resin-coated;
at least one sheet, including a sheet or a combination of sheets, which represents a major load-bearing member, or the sole load-bearing member, of the support;
a single sheet of the fabric which may represent a major load-bearing member, or the sole load-bearing member, of the support;
configured in such a way that the cross-wise second direction is perpendicular to the first direction;
configured in such a way that the cross-wise second direction is not perpendicular to the first direction;
resistant to degradation upon washing.
The present invention provides a new and improved support, which may be a splint, in form of one or more sheets of fabric that provides support in a first direction and is rollable in a second direction.
Various embodiments of the invention will provide one, more and in some cases all of the following advantages:
The support of the present invention is easy to put on, to remove, to replace and is adjustable in size. In a preferred embodiment the splint is permeable to air. Permeability to air reduces the risk of swelling of an supported body part and allows for combination treatments that might be impossible or at least difficult to administer with splints that do not have the same degree of permeability. Permeability to air also contributes to wearing comfort, which may speed up the healing process of a body part since the user may be willing to wear the splint over longer periods than e.g. a conventional bandage. Such a splint can be readily fabricated of materials that can withstand sterilization. The light weight, thinness and washability of the splint constitute further advantages that can be expected to contribute significantly to user-acceptance.
Other advantages will be apparent from the disclosure which follows and from use of the invention.
A non-limiting embodiment of the invention, described in text which follows, is shown in accompanying illustrations, of which:
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of inventive splint attached to finger.
FIGS. 2, 3, 4 and 5 show embodiments of the splint with various configurations of fastening means (a, b) attached thereto.
The splint which is the preferred of the current invention is made from one or more sheets of fabric with one or more fastening means attached thereto. The sheet(s) of fabric have a first set of fibers connected to or woven into said sheet which contribute to the stiffness in a first direction. The fabric might either be inherently stiff in that direction or might become stiff as a consequence of being rolled. A second set of fibers are woven into said sheet and have sufficient flexibility to render the sheet rollable in a second direction. In a preferred embodiment the second set of fibers are substantially perpendicular to said first set of fibers.
"Stiff" and "stiffness" in the context of the present invention generally means at least rigid enough to substantially oppose or prevent bending of the body part to which the splint is secured or which the splint encloses in a substantially extended position. Stiffness might be inherent or might be a consequence of rolling the sheet into a second direction. However, certain applications might benefit from having complete rigidity in the first direction while others might benefit from some degree of flexibility in the set of fibers extending in the first direction. Thus, the terms "stiff" and "stiffness" include splints of the stiffness that allow for complete rigidity or limited flexibility suitable for the intended end use of the device.
In a preferred embodiment, the sheet of fabric is a woven fabric with a warp and a weft of different material. Either the warp or weft may be made of stiff bristle-like material while the other (warp or weft) is made of compliant thread. Different thermoplastic materials might impart sufficient stiffness to form the bristle-like material of the warp or weft. However, the present invention is also directed to splints made of fabric sheets in which warp or weft are made of the same material. Stiffness in one direction relative to the other can be accomplished by either simple rolling of the sheet in a second direction, pretreating the warp or weft set of fibers with stiffener or softener or by incorporating a higher amount of fibers either into the warp or the weft.
A material that has proven particularly useful in the current invention is BAN ROL (58% nylon, 14% rayon, 15% polyester, 10% thermoplastic resin), which is sold as a waist band stiffener. BAN ROL has a number of advantages including being stiff in one direction and easily rollable into a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to said first direction. In addition, BAN ROL is substantially uniform throughout and thus facilitates the manufacture of splints and provides a high level of comfort for the user. BAN ROL is also permeable to air and washable.
However, any other fabric sheet that is stiff in one direction or becomes stiff in one direction due to rolling into a second direction and which is rollable into a second direction can be used for splints of the current invention. Many materials used as waistbands fulfill these requirements. However, any other type of fabric might be used, for example materials that contain one or more types of polymeric material, to attain the desired properties of the fabric sheet. The materials used for the splint can also be partially or fully coated with materials such as resin, plastic or wax. The splint may also have ribs and other structures attached to or integrated therein. Such ribs and other structures may contribute to the splint's stiffness. Fasteners such as the ones discussed below could in some instances also contribute to the stiffness of the splint. The splint might also be fitted with cushioning material. For example, a splint designed for use at a wrist or arm might be provided with stripes of cushioning material. In a preferred embodiment the splint material is penetrable by air and easy to wash.
The splint can be manufactured in different sizes and for different body parts. For example toe splints could be manufactured that are shorter than finger splints. However, in a preferred embodiment, adjustability is built into the splint construction by adjustable fastening mean(s).
Advantageously, sides and edges of the inventive splint are treated to prevent unraveling of the fabric sheet. Depending on the material used, unraveling can be prevented e.g. by sewing an edge around the entire or parts of the splint that are prone to unravelling. Alternatively, a heat seal may be formed by melting a thermoplastic portion of the sheet material at the sides and edges of the splint to prevent unravelling.
When multiple sheets of fabric are used the sheets can be attached to each other in any convenient way such as gluing, sewing or thermobonding. If a glue is used such a glue is preferably resistant to washing.
The splint may be fastened to body parts by different types of fasteners. In its simplest form the splint might be bound on the body part with adhesive tape or provided at one edge with a glue strip that, after wrapping the splint around the body part, would stick to the opposite edge of the splint. Most glues in use today only allow for one time gluing or a limited number of detachments and reattachments. A one time gluing or "permanent" fastener might for example be advantageously used for applications where accidental or intended manipulation of the splint should be avoided, such as when the splint is used on a body part of a small child.
The splint is put on a body part such as a digit by wrapping the splint around the finger or toe and fastening it to the finger. The splint thus forms a cylinder which can, in a preferred embodiment, be slipped on and off in the same manner as taking a ring off and on a finger. In another preferred embodiment the vertical edges of the splint overlap to strengthen the splint. The overlap is preferably 20% to 50% of the diameter or preferably 20% to 50% of the circumference of the cylinder formed by the splint. An overlap can provide substantial additional stiffness without significantly increasing the weight or bulk of the splint. While some overlap is preferred, overlap is not essential.
The current invention also contemplates embodiments in which only parts of a body part such as a finger are covered by the splint. The minimum amount of splint material used is determined by the minimum amount of splint material necessary to carry out a desired function.
In certain preferred embodiments the fastening device is a VELCRO™ type hook and loop fastener, which can be attached to the fabric sheet in different configurations and in single or multiple sets. Some preferred configurations are shown in FIGS. 2 to 5. FIG. 1 shows the splint of FIG. 2 in place. FIGS. 2 to 5 show fasteners that are composed of hook and loop parts a and b. For example, a in each of the drawings represents a hook portion of the fastener which is attached to one face of the splint and b in each of the drawings represents the loop portion of the fastener which is attached to the other part of the splint. In a preferred embodiment of the VELCRO™ type fastener, the splint is wrapped so that the rougher part faces outward and the softer part, if any, touches the body of the user. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the hook and loop parts of the fastener are placed medially on opposite ends of the splint and part b extends beyond the edge of the splint. FIG. 3 shows the splint with a pair of fasteners with parts b of the fasteners extending beyond the edge of the splint. The embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3 allow adjustability for a wide variety of circumferences of a body part. FIG. 4 shows a splint with two pairs of fasteners wherein all parts of the fasteners are located within the area of the splint. FIG. 5 shows a splint with a fastener comprising a single pair of hook and loop parts which are placed vertically at the ends of the splint. The splint of FIG. 5 has a high degree of rigidity and is particularly easy to apply to a toe.
Any other type of fastener that can hold the splint to a body part might be used for the current invention. Non-limiting examples are plastic and metal snaps, different type of buckles, metal or plastic hook and eye fasteners or old fashioned ACE bandage type fasteners. Adjustable hook and eye closures with multiple eyes in a row as sold by Prym-Dritz Corp. could be particularly useful for splints used for large body parts such as arms and legs.
The present invention can be used for any condition of a body part that might benefit from wearing a splint or other protection. Some of the uses of these are illustrated below.
The protector might be used to protect body parts from external influences such a rubbing or touching. For example, the invention has been applied to a toe to provide lasting relief the pain of bunions at an adjacent toe.
The splint might also be used to maintain a body part in a particular position, such as an extended position. As discussed above, the invention can serve as a splint in treating trigger finger. In this application the user might choose to wear the splint all the time or wear it only at night time for e.g. a number of weeks. The ability of the invention to act as a support to maintain a body part in an extended position can also be used to promote the healing process of broken bones, sprains or strains.
Since the device can be designed to be permeable to air and for liquids and for gels, it can be used for the treatment of conditions in which a body part that needs protection and/or support also benefits from aeration or application of gases, liquids, gels or the like. An example could be a case where a supported body part also is subject to a topical treatment that works better when the treated body part is exposed to air.
The foregoing disclosures of embodiments of the invention and uses therefor have been given merely for purposes of illustration and not to limit the invention. Thus, the invention should be considered to include all embodiments falling within the scope of the following claims and equivalents thereof.

Mediterranean Style Pesto / Olive Pizza
Patricia Babbitt
My husband and I love this quick and easy main dish. We use prepared items, such as Boboli pizza crust, and prepared Pestso sauce, but you can make your own if you like. If you do make your own crust, you would need to partially cook the crust before adding the topping, since the topping ingredients only need to be heated through, and the cooking time for the crust would probably be more than 10 minutes.
★★★★★ 1 vote
20 Min
10 Min
- 1 large
- pizza crust
- 2 Tbsp
- mayonaise, not miracle whip
- 1/2 c
- pesto sauce
- 1 medium
- red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 c
- kalamata olives, pitted
- 2
- roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 6 oz
- feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 c
- mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tsp
- olive oil, extra virgin
1Preheat oven to 425. (If using a pizza stone, preheat it, too. A pizza stone makes the crust more crispy on the bottom side.)
2If not using a pizza stone, place pizza crust on pizza pan or heavy aluminum foil to catch any drips while in the oven.
3Spread the mayonaise, evenly, on the top side of the pizza crust. The mayo will keep the pesto from soaking into the crust, to avoid soggy crust.
4Spread the pesto sauce, evenly, over the mayo.
5Places rings of onion, sliced tomato, pitted olives, and crumbled feta cheese on top of the pesto layer.
6Top with shredded mozzarella.
7Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
8Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Tough Task Ahead for China's Coal and Steel Industries
When Grassroots surveyed coal and steel manufacturers in China about recent capacity reduction orders, we learned many didn't meet their targets. And now with the potential for protectionism from the Trump administration, production looks more uncertain.
Diabetes Drives Demand for Insulin Pumps in Europe
Recent Grassroots℠ research shows that the use of insulin-pumps is on the way up in Germany, the UK and France. Earlier diagnosis of patients with diabetes combined with increasing familiarity with pump technology are key drivers of the demand.
Hospital Capex Stable Despite Threat to Obamacare
With new leadership in Washington seeking to repeal the Affordable Care Act in 2017, healthcare providers are having difficulty planning ahead. But for hospitals, Grassroots shows that capital expenditures look to remain stable in a year of uncertainty.
Big Tobacco Makes Big Inroads in Tokyo
Seeking to maintain market share in a maligned industry, Phillip Morris is using Tokyo as test market for a new e-cigarette that heats, but doesn't burn, tobacco. After a cool start to sales, Grassroots℠ shows a hot spark in demand for the new device.
UK Car Sales Not Yet Dented By Brexit
In the wake of the UK's historic Brexit referendum, Grassroots℠ Research conducted two studies to assess Brexit's impact on UK car sales—a big-ticket bellwether of consumer confidence.
The Global Buzz about Non-Alcoholic Beer
Brewers have sought to expand their product line to people who like the taste of beer, but not necessarily the taste or effects of alcohol. Our latest Grassroots℠ Research shows that the results thus far have been flat to frothy, depending on the country.
A Deeper Dive into Frac Sand
As the US shale-oil industry booms and busts, so too does the frac sand industry. In a year of OPEC production uncertainties and wave of US well closures, our Grassroots℠ Research team takes a deeper dive into frac sand demand and prices.
New Study Measures the UK's Post-Brexit Mood
In the weeks surrounding the UK's historic Brexit referendum, Grassroots℠ Research surveyed UK consumers to gauge their overall sentiment. According to Kelly Reuba, Global Head of Grassroots Research, consumers became notably gloomier after the vote.

Loose teeth implies that one of his family members will fall ill.
Search Results for: loose animals
Here's what we've found for you
Cord (Rope)
Tie a cord yourself, and your own efforts will achieve what you desire. Untying a cord predicts trouble in your love life. Breaking or cutting a cord is a sign that you should cut loose a relationship that has outlived its time.
To dream of a keg that is cracked denotes family quarrels. To see the band loose that formerly bound it together shows that divorce is imminent if you do not act to change your circumstance. To dream of seeing kegs mean you will struggle against adversity. A full key shows you will win with the […]
General Meaning: A key speaks of license, authority and calling. Every believer has been given a key to salvation. • When you became born again, you were given the name of Jesus to use against the enemy. You were given the license to loose and to bind. • I often see keys in the spirit. […]
General Meaning: A new season that is either spiritual or relating to business. Spiritual: • Isaiah 45:1 …and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates will not be shut; • Business: • Proverbs 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, where he sits […]
To dream of loose teeth denotes personal sickness ; to lose a tooth denotes the death of a fnend or relative; for all the teeth to fall out forecasts your own death (Gypsy).
To dream that you have found treasure, means that you will receive help in business affairs. To loose treasure means you could loose friendships or have a turn of bad luck.
Distrust, a divider, and cutting loose
Dreaming about this animal in your dream forces you to consider the negative characteristics of yourself or others. There are not many positive characteristics associated with pigs. In some cultures pigs are considered to be very "dirty" and unfit for human consumption. At times, men are referred to as "pigs" for their sexual desires or […]
1. Ancient symbol of authority, victory. 2. Austerity ("tighten our belts"). 3. Punishment. 4. Constriction between subconscious feelings (stomach) and conscious intellect (head) if the belt is too tight. 5. Wealth (loosening).

Hi Kelbel86, I think the provera is to ensure AF starts soonish!
Hi Kelbel86, I think the provera is to ensure AF starts soonish!
That's awesome Kristy, my work have been awesome too, allowing me to transfer to part time job share indefinitely. My husband and I have been TTC for just over two years also. The only thing they could find was low morphology for my husband but he made some lifestyle changes and started taking picnogenol and his sperm went from 2% to 10% YEY. We're now on our second cycle and I'm in the way to my fresh ET now . Good luck for April
Hello Wishnhope. My husbands morphology went from 2% to 10% in 6 months, he was super amazing though cut out coffee and pretty much cut out alcohol, started taking picnoACE every day and eating really healthy lots of fruit veg and lean protein. As a bonus he feels a lot better too and has more energy and even lots hotter
Wishnhope (24-03-2013)
Kelbel - no provera for me. I cycle pretty regularly normally, so maybe that's why??? But I don't really know what it's for anyway.
After retrieval i only had Clexane, asprin, and Synarel nasal spray - these we're mainly due to the OHSS though I think.
nurses said AF might be delayed a little, and based on when I think I have ovulated since, I reckon it's coming approx. a week late.
I had 35 eggs retrieved, 24 fertilised , then 17 made it to day 5 for freeze. The Ohss was nasty - I think I ended up like Sarah - looking 6 months preggers, so if you haven't suffered from it , you've been very lucky with that many eggs.!
Good luck Cookie on your current cycle too.
have a great weekend everyone.
Thanks Kelbel. Wow you had so many eggs, no wonder you had OHSS! I had OHSS the first cycle too, we hadn't told anyone we were IVFing so I had to hide for about two weeks and couldnt fit into any of my clothes, when my FS saw me he laughed and said that I will look like that when I'm six months preggers, then put me on a drip for four hours. I know it sounds weird but I went to the chemist and cafe on my way to the FS and people obviously thought I was preggas because they were opening doors for me and treating me differently, I actually enjoyed that part, sick ey
Wow some high numbers there ladies! We only had 5 from my cycle and my belly-bub is the only survivor! So happy to have one but not looking forward to going through the whole process again to have another!!
How is everyone going?
It's been very quiet on here for Perth girls. Maybe many having a break, or waiting for next AF ....???
Caketin - lucky for you with your only 1 embie- but as they say it only takes one, and quality over quantity. When are you due???
having to have to go thru it all again to have another child in future as you have none in reserve - not the most exciting prospect. But hopefully another positive outcome makes it all worth while in the end!
Cookie- Hope things are coming along nicely so far.
kelbel - hope you have still been feeling ok and no delayed OHSS symptoms.
AFM- finally AF has arrived. Only about 10 days late! Of course when you are waiting for it, it's then delayed! So i can now get started on meds Mon/tues to get prepared for My first FET.
Hope everyone has a great Easter long weekend .

Four acts performed a dance-off for the final judges' spot in the semi-finals of 'Live to Dance' (Wed., 8PM ET on CBS). The winner would compete to be crowned Best Dance Act in America and win a $500,000 prize.
Middle-schooler Kendall Glover wowed the judges, her perpetual smile masking any nerves. In the end, the 11-year-old received the final spot. As judge Paula Abdul explained, "She exudes everything that this show is about. Your performance was beautiful, and we all loved it."
Do you agree with the judges' decision? Who's your favorite act among the Top 18?

The major aim of this Core is to provide a facility for novel optical instrumentation to the investigators of this Program Project. The primary function of the Core will be to assist in experiments that require expertise and specialized equipment not available in the individual sub-project laboratories. The members of the Core will provide guidance and expert help to the different members of the Program Project in using Optical Trapping, Total Internal Reflection Microscopy (TIRF) and Total Internal Reflection Polarized Fluorescence Microscopy (polTIRF). This state of the art shared facility provides methods for measuring the mechanical properties of individual motor proteins and the spatial orientation of fluorescent probes linked to subdomains of individual engineered proteins. The core will further develop these techniques by testing several methods for obtaining three dimensional data from TIRF images, by combining the trap with polTIRPF to measure the orientation of single motor molecules as they proceed through their enzymatic cycles under varying load, improve the long term spatial resolution and stiffness of the trap. In vitro analysis of single wild type and engineered motor molecules will unambiguously measure fundamental motor properties such as stiffness, orientation changes, unitary force, step length and kinetics as a function of strain and relate these properties to structural features of the protein.
Advanced light microscopy and optical trapping provide unique information at the single molecule level. These novel assays will be used here to understand the underlying mechanisms of cell motility and membrane trafficking, both essential processes for normal function in eukaryotic cells. Defects in either of these processes lead to a wide range of diseases.

iLoungers create iPhone coffee table
Inspired by the iPhone and a previous reader-made iPod coffee table, iLounge readers Tuan Nguyen, Ken Thomas and their associates have created an iPhone coffee table. According to Nguyen, the table is "completely made of corrugate and glued together with white glue," and features removable, usable coasters built-in. Congrats to Tuan and his friends on their creation — more pictures of the table and coasters are below.

Best thing about the table is it will outlast the real thing, then when it dies you'll have a casket to throw some trendy ass funeral :D
Posted by blazemonkey on December 6, 2008 at 1:14 AM (CST)
A tutorial would not do you much good if you don't have access to a CAD table, large format digital printer and of course a lot of corrugate. We used 15 sheets of 51 BC double wall, 2 sheet of 32 B flute (1 white top and 1 silver liner). Coasters are made from black .040 Styrene. Glad everyone like the table.

Encyclopedia of Lesbian Histories and Cultures by Bonnie Zimmerman
Book DescriptionA rich heritage that needs to be documented Beginning in 1869, when the study of homosexuality can be said to have begun with the establishment of sexology, this encyclopedia offers accounts of the most important international developments in an area that now occupies a critical place in many fields of academic endeavours. It covers a long history and a dynamic and ever changing present, while opening up the academic profession to new scholarship and new ways of thinking. A groundbreaking new approach While gays and lesbians have shared many aspects of life, their histories and cultures developed in profoundly different ways. To reflect this crucial fact, the encyclopedia has been prepared in two separate volumes assuring that both histories receive full, unbiased attention and that a broad range of human experience is covered. Written for and by a wide range of people Intended as a reference for students and scholars in all fields, as well as for the general public, the encyclopedia is written in user-friendly language. At the same time it maintains a high level of scholarship that incorporates both passion and objectivity. It is written by some of the most famous names in the field, as well as new scholars, whose research continues to advance gender studies into the future.

Etouffee, Mon Amour by Kerri McCafferty
Book DescriptionThis luxurious photography book on New Orleans restaurants celebrates the citys love affair with food. From the legendary Tujagues to the down-home Uglesichs, these beloved establishments are shown off in all their glory for residents and visitors alike. From the antebellum legacies of grand old restaurants like Antoines, Commanders Palace, and Brunings to the newcomers like Jacques-Imos, Bayona, and Clancys, not to mention the legion in between, the countless stories of establishments dedicated to the je ne sais quoi of dining form part of the essential history of New Orleans. This rich mix of history and evocative photographs documents an unparalleled majesty of the senses, a decadent revelry in the past, and the daily marking of pleasure.

New Orleans' history makes it different from everywhere else: three centuries of complex cultural influences converging in a unique climate, and a strategic location at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Today, New Orleans style is moving forward while still embracing the extravagance of the past.

Female Partners at the Big Four
8 October 2012 | Leave a comment
Just as I find it odd John Humphreys talking with detachment on the Today programme about BBC misdemeanours – as though this 'BBC' is something distant and not his employer – I find myself wondering whether professional consulting firms like KPMG have forgotten what is happening in their own organisation when they publish insight papers such as Female CFOs in Singapore (how Singapore seems to be doing better than other countries in promoting women to senior roles).

Early life and education[edit]
Sheldon Oliensis was born in Philadelphia on March 19, 1922. He attended the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Law Review.
After a period of practice with another firm, Oliensis joined Kaye Scholer in 1960 as a litigation partner.
In addition to his private practice, Oliensis was highly involved in public service. He was a longtime member of the New York City Bar Association, where he chaired a number of committees, including the Grievance Committee, the Executive Committee and the Committee on Access to Legal Services. He served a president of the Bar from 1988 to 1990, and he was instrumental in establishing Volunteers of Legal Service (VOLS), the Bar's pro bono legal service organization.
He was also a president of the Legal Aid Society from 1973 to 1975, was chair of the New York City Conflict of Interest Board, a director of the Fund for Modern Courts, and a director of the East Harlem Tutorial Program.

Taken last Autumn in Kemptthal (a place that I absolutely love), near to Zurich, Switzerland. I used a tripod, and a ND8 filter to get a longer exposure time (f/10, 3.2s). For me personally it portrays harmony, serenity and balance.

The hostel was great! It's close to everything and nice inside with very helpful people working there and a delicious breakfast. An extra plus is defiantly the rooftop!! My room was very nice, too (just really hot with the sun).

Loved the place. Old building passed through from generation to generation. Very clean, the terrasse is lovely and the cats walking around are just adding a bit of fantasy. Would definitely recommend for few nights in Santiago.

Walk My Days on a Wire by @theprizeofcoolness
Harry hums, staring at his hands in his lap, and Louis can still feel their smoothness, how solid they were in between his own. "Do you think it's the same for us? Are we here only because of the likeliness of our jobs? Of our lives?"
"We're here because we have inventive managers," Louis says, giving Harry's leg a little nudge with his knee, but all that's going around in his head is, I think I'd be in the same spot in every possible universe.
or, when actor Louis Tomlinson used to daydream about dating Harry Styles, this is not what he had in mind. (38k)

Computer Games by Diane Carr
Book DescriptionComputer games are one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving media of our time. Revenues from console and computer games have now overtaken those from Hollywood movies; and online gaming is one of the fastest-growing areas of the internet. Games are no longer just kids' stuff: the majority of players are now adults, and the market is constantly broadening. The visual style of games has become increasingly sophisticated, and the complexities of game-play are ever more challenging. Meanwhile, the iconography and generic forms of games are increasingly influencing a whole range of other media, from films and television to books and toys. This book provides a systematic, comprehensive introduction to the analysis of computer and video games. It introduces key concepts and approaches drawn from literary, film and media theory in an accessible and concrete manner; and it tests their use and relevance by applying them to a small but representative selection of role-playing and action-adventure games. It combines methods of textual analysis and audience research, showing how the combination of such methods can give a more complete picture of these playable texts and the fan cultures they generate. Clearly written and engaging, it will be a key text for students in the field and for all those with an interest in taking games seriously.

My Reviews
The best product ever!!!
Posted by Reviewer2130947 on Jan 17, 2012
I just discovered Miracle Noodle, and it is the most amazing food! It is soooooo filling.... with no guilt! No calories! It is virtually flavorless by itself, so it takes on the flavor of any seasoning you add! It's truly a "miracle" food! It's perfect for the HCG diet, a low-carb diet and/or a gluten-free diet. I was already taking glucomannan in capsule form to curb my appetite, but it's even better as a chewable food! I can't say enough great things about this product! It goes with pretty much everything! iHerb, I hope you stock this item forever, because I am hooked for life!
The absolute best guilt-free crackers!
Posted by Reviewer2130947 on Nov 18, 2012
I eat these with everything: tuna salad, salmon, sardines, garlic spread, olive tapenade, cheese, turkey... you name it! I love the shape of them and the light, airy crispness! The taste is yummy, too. It's a wonderful compliment to savory foods. The original rye ones are low-glycemic, so that was my #1 reason for buying them. With all things considered, to me it's a perfect cracker! :)
Keeps hunger pangs at bay
Posted by Reviewer2130947 on Jan 26, 2011
Creates a feeling of satiety for a few hours, making calorie restriction much easier. I'll always use this product. As usual, great value and fast shipping from iHerb.
too stiff and scratchy
Posted by Reviewer2130947 on Jan 02, 2012
This brush is too aggressive and leaves white scratch marks on my skin. Bristles are just too stiff and cause pain. However, it does feel good on my back, which has thicker skin... but it still leaves white scratch marks.
My favorite detergent and scent!
Couldn't be happier with this wonderful product! Gets clothes clean, soft, and smelling great!
Our favorite peanut butter!
My kids and I love this variety of PB! Very deep, authentic flavor. The texture is thin, so it's easy to spread. If you prefer it thicker, it can be refrigerated.
Oh, so yummy!

My daily go-to beverage
I cannot go a day without this wonderful product! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I have it every morning in lieu of coffee. It makes me soooo happy! :) I also like to mix it cold in the afternoon. However, to mix it well with cold water, it requires a blender bottle/shaker bottle or a small blender. I miss the single packs that iHerb used to sell. Now I have to pack it in small baggies to take it on-the-go.
Best all-natural hand lotion I've tried!
Posted by Reviewer2130947 on Jan 08, 2011
I love how emollient this hand lotion is! I've been searching for an all-natural product that would make my hands feel hydrated for hours, and this one does the trick! I keep a tube by my bed, another on my desk, and one in my car, too. I'm addicted!
Zyflamend really works to reduce swelling!
Posted by Reviewer2130947 on Aug 12, 2011
When I forget to take these, I notice a difference! I have an old ankle injury with chronic swelling... and this product truly does minimize the swelling and fluid retention. If I forget to take it, my ankle turns into a "cankle". When I resume taking Zyflamend, the swelling goes down within a couple of days. I'm sold! :)
my favorite soap!
Posted by Reviewer2130947 on Aug 12, 2011
this soap really seems to clean and moisturize well. dry skin seems to be less itchy and flaky since using it. gentle and non-irritating. smells nice. creamy lather. doesn't last as long as traditional soaps, but i will continue to purchase because the pros outweigh this only con. i love it!!! oh, and iherb's prices & shipping speed will keep me loyal! iherb rocks!!!
Love the single packets!!!

I could drink this all day long! I prefer it blended with cold coconut milk and liquid stevia. Sometimes I blend in ice, too. To make it filling, I add hemp protein powder or Clinical Metacore organic meal replacement shake (available at iHerb). I wish it was still available in a box of 30 packets. It was discontinued, and now CafeCeps can only be purchased in the re-sealable bag. I miss having the convenient, portable, single packs!!! I hope that they will come back!
