This application is a continuation of International Application PCT/US2007/070789, filed Jun. 8, 2007 and now pending, which claims the benefit of: 1) U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/908,745 filed Mar. 29, 2007; 2) U.S. Utility patent application Ser. No. 11/679,445 filed Feb. 27, 2007; and 3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/424,200 filed Jun. 14, 2006, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Suction wands, such as Yankauer suction wands, are commonly used in oral cleansing and suctioning applications. Suction wands may be used for aspirating fluid and debris from a patient's mouth or from a surgical site, or for other medical or dental purposes. A typical suction wand includes one or more openings in a distal end or tip thereof through which fluids and other debris may be suctioned into the wand.
A typical suction wand is attached, via a hose or tube, to a suction canister, vacuum system, or other device providing a suctioning force. In many configurations, the suction tube includes an external opening near a region where the suction tubes connects to the suction wand. Ambient air is drawn through this external opening via the suctioning force of the suction device. When a medical attendant places a finger or thumb over this external opening, the suctioning force is directed to the one or more openings in the tip of the suction wand, allowing fluid or debris to be suctioned from a patient. When the medical attendant moves the finger or thumb away from the external opening in the tube, the primary suctioning force is re-directed to the external opening and little or no suctioning force is directed to the tip of the suction wand. In this manner, the medical attendant may control the suctioning force provided at the tip of the suction wand.
While existing suction wand systems have been relatively effective, a need exists for a suction wand with improved suction control capabilities.
A suction wand assembly includes a suction wand connected to a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a pressable button or similar device for allowing a user to regulate the suction force through the suction wand. The valve assembly optionally includes a locking mechanism for holding the valve in a closed position. The suction wand is optionally stored in a holster including an instrument support for supporting the wand in a position above the base of the holster.
Other features and advantages will appear hereinafter. The features described above can be used separately or together, or in various combinations of one or more of them.
In the drawings, wherein the same reference number indicates the same element throughout the views:
Various embodiments of the invention will now be described. The following description provides specific details for a thorough understanding and enabling description of these embodiments. One skilled in the art will understand, however, that the invention may be practiced without many of these details. Additionally, some well-known structures or functions may not be shown or described in detail so as to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the relevant description of the various embodiments.
The terminology used in the description presented below is intended to be interpreted in its broadest reasonable manner, even though it is being used in conjunction with a detailed description of certain specific embodiments of the invention. Certain terms may even be emphasized below; however, any terminology intended to be interpreted in any restricted manner will be overtly and specifically defined as such in this detailed description section.
Where the context permits, singular or plural terms may also include the plural or singular term, respectively. Moreover, unless the word "or" is expressly limited to mean only a single item exclusive from the other items in a list of two or more items, then the use of "or" in such a list is to be interpreted as including (a) any single item in the list, (b) all of the items in the list, or (c) any combination of items in the list.
Turning now in detail to the drawings, as shown in
Still referring to
In the embodiment illustrated in
The one or more ledges 75 may be formed as part of the holster 73 itself, such as a "pinch" 82 of opposing walls of the closed end of the holster 73, or they may be one or more separate pieces adhered to or otherwise affixed to the interior of the holster 73. When the distal region includes a pinch 82, as shown in
The holster 73 is preferably attachable to a clip 80 or other fastener (collectively referred to hereinafter as a "clip," for ease of reference) via a top lip 74 on a proximal end of the holster 73. The top lip 74 optionally slides over an outwardly protruding attachment piece 77 on the clip 80. The clip 80 is attachable to a bedrail, ventilator, hospital stand, wall, or other suitable object. As illustrated in
Referring to
By including the barb portion 47 directly on the valve stem 43, the barb portion 47 moves in unison with the valve stem 43 when the button 40 is pressed, and the number of components required to make up the valve assembly 12 is reduced. Furthermore, the efficiency of the suctioning process is increased, since components commonly used in valve systems where the hose barb is separate from the valve stem, such as a suction plunger valve, are not required. Thus, there is less "dead" vacuum or suction space, and a constant flow of suctioning air is provided between the valve stem 43 and the barb portion 47. A substantially cylindrical member 50 or other suitable structure protrudes from the valve body 42 for connection to the suction wand 11. The suction wand 11 may alternatively be connected to the valve assembly 12 in any other suitable manner.
Pressing down on the button 40 actuates the retainer 41 and moves the valve stem 43 toward the suction wand 11 (from left to right in
The valve assembly 12 preferably includes a locking mechanism for maintaining the button 40 in the "up" or locked position when the valve assembly 12 is not in use. The locking mechanism optionally includes a slider unit 44 slidably or otherwise movably secured to the valve body 42. The slider unit 44 includes internal guide rails 61 for engaging corresponding external channels 57 on the valve body 42. This configuration promotes smooth sliding movement of the slider unit 44 while maintaining it in a level, properly aligned position.
The valve body preferably includes one or more outwardly projecting steps or ribs 52 for engagement with one or more corresponding openings 54 on the slider unit 44. In the embodiment shown, each side of the valve body 42 includes one rib 52 for separately engaging one of two openings 54 (which correspond to unlocked and locked positions) present on each side of the slider unit 44. In the illustrated position, a rib 52 on each side of the valve body engages an approximately central opening 54 (the leftmost opening in
In this "locked" position, one or more ribs or steps 56 on an upper portion of the slider unit 44 may engage corresponding lower grooves 58 in the button 40 to help maintain the button in the "up" or locked position. Additionally, one or more outwardly projecting ledges 59 may be included on one or both sides of the valve body 42, below the slider unit 44, to inhibit downward movement of the slider unit 44 when the valve is in the locked position.
The spring-loaded retainer 41 includes a cam arm 60 extending over a portion of the valve stem 43 and the valve body 42. When the slider unit 44 is moved from the unlocked to the locked position (from right to left in
Thus, the locking mechanism may include one or more locking devices, including but not limited to the following: ribs 52 on the valve body 42 that engage corresponding openings 54 in the slider unit 44; steps 56 on the slider unit 44 that engage corresponding grooves 58 in the button 40; ledges 59 for maintaining the slider unit 44 in the proper vertical position; and a cam arm 60 on the retainer 41 for engagement with a ridge 64 on the valve body 42. As a result, the valve assembly 12 may be securely and safely held in the locked or closed position, while remaining readily movable between the locked and unlocked positions.
Referring to
The valve stem 43 includes one or more openings 68 through which air is suctioned when the valve stem 43 is moved into the unlocked or open position. By providing a relatively large opening through the valve stem 43, a large vacuum or suctioning force may be created while producing minimal audible noise. The valve stem 43 preferably includes a first O-ring 70 or other suitable seal on a first side of the opening 68, and a second O-ring 72 or other suitable seal on a second side of the opening 68, for sealing with the interior of the valve body 42.
In use, the barb portion 47 of the valve stem 43 is connected, via suction tubing or a similar connector, to a vacuum system or other suction system. If the slider unit 44 on the locking mechanism is in the locked position, the attendant slides the slider unit 44 into the unlocked position and presses and holds the button 40 to open the valve and create a suctioning force through the one or more openings 20 in the tip 18 of the suction wand 11. The attendant places the suction wand 11 into the patient's mouth or other medical site. The suctioning force causes fluid or debris to flow into the suction wand 11.
After the suctioning process is complete, the attendant withdraws the suction wand 13 from the patient's mouth or other medical site. The attendant may then slide the slider unit 44 into the locked position so that inadvertent pressing of the button 40 is prevented, and so that the valve stem 43 is held securely in place by the cam arm 60. The suction wand assembly 10 may be placed in the holster 73 when not in use.
The suction wand assembly 10 provides a readily controllable suctioning process via use of the valve assembly 12, which provides a consistent suctioning force. Furthermore, use of the locking mechanism on the valve assembly 12 ensures the valve assembly 12 remains closed when desired.
Any of the above-described embodiments may be used alone or in combination with one another. Furthermore, the suction wand assembly may include additional features not described herein. While several embodiments have been shown and described, various changes and substitutions may of course be made, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The invention, therefore, should not be limited, except by the following claims and their equivalents.

"These three magnificent coins are the result," she added. Clark's grandfather, Stephen Clark, founded the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936. Baseball has captured the American public because "it's simple ... it's forceful," she said. Gillibrand agreed, predicting that the coins would be welcomed by a baseball-adoring public. "I do believe it will be a sellout right away," she predicted. "It will be the best-selling coin ever." Added an equally enthusiastic Hanna. "If you're sitting here at 12:15 p.m., you'll miss a chance to buy one of these coins." Up to $9.5 million in surcharges U.S. Treasurer Rosa "Rosie" Gumataotao Rios, an Oakland A's baseball fan, also admitted to being excited by the coins. Rios said the Hall of Fame stands to make up to $9.5 million in surcharges if all the authorized coins are sold, she pointed out. The enabling act calls for the production and release in Proof and Uncirculated versions combined of up to 50,000 of the gold $5 coins, 400,000 silver dollars and 750,000 copper-nickel clad half dollars. The National Baseball Hall of Fame will receive net surcharges once the Mint recoups its production costs. advertisement Subscribe to our Newsletters advertisement You are signed in as:null No comments yet

I went through and upgraded all of my remote collectors and my central server today to the newest version 4.5.45321 and everything worked great! All I had to do for all of them is stop the service, run the new EXE and then re-save the the Remote Collector settings without any issues.
Then I ran into this last one. All of the others authenticated on their own without any issues. This one, when it attempts to authenticate with the main server gives a 5 letter code that I have to type into the Main server. I have tried that process several times and each time it says Authorization Failed. I have attempted to delete the location out of the Remote Site Manager and same thing. I even tried uninstalling the software on the collector and reinsalling using the migration without luck. I even clean installed the software without success. Help please! It is way weird that this worked on all of the others without even requesting the 5 letter code and now this one wont work at all.

There is a known issue with remote collectors having this type of problem, and we are working on finding a solution.
For now you should be able to follow these instructions step-by-step, and get it to work:
- Delete any instances of this remote collector from the Manage Remote Collectors list on the central installation
- Uninstall Spiceworks from the remote collector device
- Reinstall Spiceworks on the remote collector device, and do NOT drop in your data/db
- Reconfigure the remote collector's site name, port, and scan ranges and credentials
Let us know what you find out.
This topic was created during version 4.5.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Having the exact same issue. Some sites don't request an authorization code, other do. The ones that want it are giving me an "Authorization Failed" error message.

DarrylJ - from the site not working can you get too http:/
npvmon - make sure you are using 4.5.45321
Dec 18, 2009 at 5:42 UTC
I am using 4.5.45321. Both on the client side and the central monitoring side. Doesn't matter if I use ssl or not. I get the same result.
Just fyi, I can connect directly to the central installation from the remote monitoring using the wan ip of the central and then the port number both via http and https. And I can also do the reverse and connect from the central to the remote.
Dec 18, 2009 at 7:59 UTC
When I attempted to open the address that you indicated I got the Cannot Display the Webpage notice. The PC in question is actually on the same Domain as I am and all of our different sites have a single T1 connection to our data center where the central Spice server is located. The route path for me to connect to this site's server for example, was able to be done through our private T1 WAN so there is no over the internet traffic happening. Is there a way to disable the HTTPS side and just use it via HTTP as I had before?
Dec 18, 2009 at 8:05 UTC
akp982 is an IT service provider.
npvmon - I have asked ben to come over
DarrylJ - you need to be able to surf to the central server via http and https, im not sure if you can disable the https bit on the remote scanner, ben should be able to help
Dec 18, 2009 at 4:15 UTC
Looks like you can control http/https from the remote instance.
Are you already using port 80 for the "Central Port"?
npvmon, can you access the central installation from the remote installation's browser using hostname? Or are you using IP address for Central Name in the remote installation's settings?
Dec 18, 2009 at 4:30 UTC
I'm also having the issue with my remote collectors. One never asked for authentication while another does and fails. I noticed that the link to that remote is pointing to a different port; http://server_IP:9676 while the site is on 9675. None of the port setting have been manipulated outside of the original install of 4.1 or upgrade to 4.5
Do I need to change that or is the scanning info being sent on that port intentionally?
Dec 18, 2009 at 4:34 UTC
I use port 9675 for the primary install. When attempting to connect from the location's PC, I AM able to reach http:/
Dec 18, 2009 at 5:33 UTC
Spiceworks generally runs on 80/443, or 9675/9676.
During your testing use:
- for http, http:/
/or http:/ servernameorIP / servernameorIP:9675
- and for https, https:/
/or https:/ servernameorIP / servernameorIP:9676
The ports will depend on how you have setup your central installation. By default Spiceworks installs to 80/443, but if you use the alternate ports you will use 9675/9676.
You will want to use the above URLs from the remote site, filling the "servernameorIP" with the name or IP of the central Spiceworks installation's server.
Darryl - with the above can you access the central server from the remote site's browser?
Runner - the above should also help you. Test out access from the remote site -> central site. If you can't get to it via a browser, then Spiceworks will also be unable connect.
Dec 21, 2009 at 7:43 UTC
When connecting from the remote server, I am able to reach BOTH http:/
Dec 21, 2009 at 3:52 UTC
I can access central site from the remote using both 9675 &9676. Still cannot authenticate. Did try adding to trusted sites to no avail. Also keeps telling me to check the logs. Nothing pertaining to this shows up there.
Dec 21, 2009 at 5:45 UTC
Do you have proxy server(s) in your environment? Are all 15 remote collectors set up in the same way, in that respect?
Dec 22, 2009 at 8:32 UTC
I have no proxy servers on our network. This location, as well all our other locations, are connected to our data center by private T1 connections. These T1 connections are direct from our data center location, where our spiceworks server resides, to the location the originate from and there is no external internet access in between. In regards to the Remote Collectors at other sites, there are minor differences. Between the other collectors we have a mix of Windows Server 2003 & 2008 machines all running on HP Proliant ML115 servers. This particular server/site, has a Windows Server 2008 machine however the other 2008 servers have had no issues. As far as installed software, all the remote collectors are practically identical hosting a print server, spiceworks remote collector, anti-virus update distributor, and a WSUS Remote server.
Dec 22, 2009 at 11:51 UTC
Try using the IP address of the central server, instead of the server name.
You said you are now able to reach https:/
Try using port 9676 instead of 9675 in the remote collector's configuration if you have not done so already. This will attempt to use https instead of http.
Dec 23, 2009 at 7:49 UTC
Still get the Authorization failed when using all of the following:

Crazy enough, that did work. Hopefully having no DB in there it wont list everything as duplicates but it is a small site so I should be able to manage through it. Thanks and good luck with the patch!
Jan 16, 2010 at 10:41 UTC
any way to do this yet without rebuilding the collectors?? i have 25+ remote sites and collectors with several scan ranges on each. would take forever to rebuild them all... thanks in advance!!!
Jan 18, 2010 at 11:35 UTC
Hi Jason,
These issues are resolved in the latest patch for 4.5 (4.5.45710). The patch was released about a week after Dec. 23, so Darryl had already done the workaround.
Actually the bug fixes were not available until 4.5.46618 which was released around Jan. 22th.
Jan 18, 2010 at 1:54 UTC
I had to reinstall spiceworks with the current release on the remote collector and update the central install. Upon completion, the connections worked. Thanks for your help.
Jan 18, 2010 at 10:18 UTC
Im running 45710 on the central and all the collectors and still getting an authorization failed on all the remotes. something special i need to do still to get it to authorize?? i even wiped and did a clean install on the central server...non upgrade. just didn't want to have to do it on all the collectors as well, but nevertheless, it still isnt authorizing. what do you suggest?? Thanks in advance for your help!
Jan 25, 2010 at 9:44 UTC
Datajockeys, LLC is an IT service provider.
I just ran in to this on version 4.5.46658 . I keep entering the code and the code is rejected. Yes I can access the main controller via normal and secure sessions.
Jan 26, 2010 at 1:03 UTC
Hi Jason,
Sorry I left you hanging there. If you would like to workaround this (possibly) then send us your log files. You may be having a different issue.
Note my edit above - apparently these fixes were not actually available until 4.5.46618.
Datajocokeys - are central and remote installations both running 46658? Did you update the central or remote installation first? Have you tried reinstalling the remote collector?
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

Getting your vehicle cleaned at the car wash uses less water than hosing it down at home and less gas than driving it into a river. Combat grime efficiently with today's Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $49 for an express wash and wax for a car (a $99.95 value)
- $54 for an express wash and wax for an SUV, truck, or oversized vehicle (a $109.95 value)
Genius Car Wash and Detail
The automotive aestheticians at Genius Car Wash and Detail enlist a speedy and thorough 90-foot conveyor to help them scrub cars clean. Each automated wash employs a three-step process—a high-pressure prep wash, Smart Foam residue remover, and two modes of water treatment—to free roadsters of bugs and weather-related build up. Drivers can lavish their rides a little longer with three types of detailing packages, or opt for à la carte services such engine degreasing or a machine buff and clay-bar treatment. To avoid gridlock caused by pedestrians gawking at newly vacuumed upholstery, car owners can drop off their steel chariots for tinting services, which darken window panes in a host of shades.

The Stone House Has white walls which surround the property which makes it very private, a safe area for children.
The Stonehouse can now boast 5 years of fully booked calenders with over 65 exceptionally satisfied customers, most of which have left great testimonials for your reference.
We also have obtained some repeat holiday makers. (This speaks for itself).......
From the moment you get of the plane you notice how clean and well kept the island is. My wife and myself are well travelled people and have many places to compare the island with!
We found it ticks all the boxes. Also we pride our self with being house proud, i think this will show in our villa. We hope that you love the villa and the island of Menorca as much as us.
Have a great time!
Mark Stone or Leigh Stone purchased this villa in 2010
We actually bought the villa because of its superb location and its homely feel. It is so close to the beautiful cala en porter beach and the delightful town where there is great restaurants and superb bars. It has all this but remains very quiet at night so you can be assured of a restful holiday.
Since having our baby daughter Madeleine we now live here permanently, we love everything about the island, its superb for families young and old, you come as guests but leave as friends.
look forward to sharing this beautiful place with you.
Kind Regards
Leigh Mark and Maddie
We have done a lot of research on Menorca before we purchased our villa and we where extremely lucky to find The Stone House. It is in the perfect location. We do not need to keep explaining how close it is to everything you will ever need on your holidays, book with us and you want to go back! promise!
We also have to mention that approximately half a mile away at the cliffs edge lies one of the best discos in the world. It caters for young and old.
The Xoria la coves club lies in the side of the cliffs that are has natural caves illuminated by led lights and the stars.
The sunsets in the adjacent rear of Majorcan mountains and the calm sea.
I really cannot big it up enough. It really is a must!

Dear Leigh/Mark,
Please feel to use the following as a guest testimonial on the web site:
I just wanted to drop you a quick note, following our 2 week stay at the Stonehouse, to let you know what a great time we had.
The villa was almost perfect for us and despite having to accommodate the very differing needs of our party of 6 (2 adults, 2 'big' children and 2 'little' children), it delivered in virtually every respect. The outside area is faultless: from the pool to the BBQ and the sun loungers to the dining area (not forgetting the very useful clothes lines !); whilst the TV set-up with the freeview and extensive film library, ensured that the 4 young ones were kept entertained, whenever it was too hot to go outside (or into the early hours, in the case of the elder 2 !).
The villa is also ideally positioned for access to both the beach and the bars/restaurants/supermarkets of Cala N'Porter.
The photos don't give the pool justice. I'm fact the photos don't give the property justice! It's a fabulous holiday rental.
We came to stay at Mark's place in early August. The weather was perfect, the beach has clean with shallow warm water (the 200 steps to get there is well worth the exercise). The beach has a bar and shop so you can always buy a drink, food/ice cream or stuff for the beach when you get there, so you don't have to carry loads down the steps. Also the fruit man comes to the beach around mid day.
Shops, bars, restaurants and soft play are a minute walk away from the property. A handful of supermarkets are dotted along the streets. Also the night market comes every other night. The bus stops for all locations on the island are a minutes walk and there is a car hire place a few door down.
The transfer from the airport is about 25mins in a taxi, it's a straight road pretty much so if you hire a car it's super easy to get to.
Check the cupboards before heading to the shops as there is is loads of stuff left behind by other people. We replaced what we used. I think that's what makes it a great place to stay as everyone who seems to stay here is respectful and treats it like home, which is why the property is in great shape and Mark clearly looks after it well between rentals.
Mark helped before arrival by replying to all emails and questions. While we were there Mark popped by to clean the pool and is very friendly.
THE STONEHOUSE VILLA CAME UP TO OUR EXPECTATIONS, THE OUTSIDE POOL AREA WAS EXCELLENT, WE HAD NUMEROUS B.B.Q's. THIS VILLA CATERED FOR MY GRANDSON 8 YRS, TO ME AT 82. THE SUPERMARKET WAS ONLY 300 YDS AWAY, COULD'NT ASK FOR MORE. YET ANOTHER GREAT HOLIDAY AT CALAN PORTER, THANKS.
Having stayed in various apartments/villas in Cala En Porter this is by far the best one.
The villa was amazing and had everything that we needed. Our little boy was in the pool all day every day and the sun was never of it, great for cooling off in the hot weather.
The villa is situated as close to everything that you need and couldn't be better positioned.
Another great stay in Menorca and would definitely recommend this villa.
Helen Miller
The property was roomy, clean and comfortable with a relaxing ambience.
Being a family with an infant we made full use of all the facilities on offer.
We especially enjoyed the pool and also made use of built in barbarcue.
We found the property to be well located for access to all local amenities
with plenty of choice for shops, bars etc.
Although its only 5mins or so to nearest bar we never had any problems
with noise.
The local restaurants offered plenty of choice and all were good value with
most offering fixed price 3 course meals including drink.
We found Mark the owner to be helpful and living locally was available to sort
out any problems (there were none) as well as keep pool clean.
We would have no hesitation in booking this villa again next time we come with the family and would recommend to others.
We had such a relaxing holiday staying in the Stonehouse. This Villa has everything you need, clean comfortable inside and a fab pool outside. Great location close to bars, restaurants and the beach.
Mark and Leigh are the just so helpful. They were always available if needed and nothing was too much trouble, They went the extra mile to make this a lovely relaxing holiday. We are looking forward to returning next year.
The villa is in a prim location, close to all the restaurants, supermarkets, in easy walking distance to the beach.The beach is lovely,we highly recommend sea grams restaurant the ribs are to die for!!!!!.The actual villa its self is very well maintained to a very high standard,pool also very clean, sunbeds are the best, so comfy. The villa has everything you would need, like home from home.For us this Villa ticks all the box's, would highly recommend this villa to family and friends.Will definitely be going again soon. Owner Mark very helpful, nothing to much trouble.Cheers Mark see you soon. Amanda,Rachel and family
Special interest holidays:
The villa is within 5 minutes to the beach and all amenities.
The villa is approximately 4 minutes walk to the beach which is one of the best in the Balearic's.
Mahon airport is approximately 10 Kilometers away from the villa. We find that you can get a taxi into Cala en Porter for under 20 euros.
Car hire is quite simply in the town as there are numerous car hire firms in Calan Porter. Alternatively you can hire in the airport or online.
The villa is only 15 minutes 10 kilometers from the airport.
We would encourage anyone to hire a car for a few days just to do a bit site seeing. The Island is so beautiful it really is worth the effort.

Testimonial 5th July 2012 from the Lancastors
Hi Leigh and Mark - just a quick e-mail to say thank you for a fantastic
week at the Stonehouse. If you want to use the below on your website then
please feel free to do so. We all had a great time. Thanks again. Andy
and Bev
Dear Leigh and Mark, just a short e-mail to thank you for a fantastic week
at the Stone House. Me, my wife and 3 children (7,5 and 4) had the most
amazing time. Everything was great (and as described on the website) but
little touches like being able to drop the cases at the villa early made
such a difference on arrival day, also Jan booked our taxi for returning to
the airport for us as well which was very helpful. The villa is a short
walk from the beach and the centre of town which made it easy for evening
The villa was very comfortable with the air con being absolutely invaluable
during the day and at night. The pool kept the kids entertained all
afternoon and the UK TV channels was great for watching cbeebies and the
Olympics when the sun got too hot!
An awesome week - can't rate it highly enough.
Best regards

Kicking off 2017 at full pace, we wanted to share with you a little behind the scenes action to let you in on our process - A huge part of our work is never really seen. We are all guilty of sharing just the perfect image so we wanted to share a little bit of what goes on at a 2LG shoot! The interior design process is a long one and in this project (we met these clients back in September 2014!) it's no different. It's a four story town house that was split into 4 apartments, now restored to one family home. Working with Architects and contractors as well as joiners, tilers, textile designers and artists to create a bespoke home - we are super proud of the final result. So the shoot is one of the best parts of our work. Yesterday we spent a long day shooting the results and we can't wait to share it with you. But before we do, just to tantalise you, here's how the day went down.
There is no great shoot without a great photographer. We have been working with Megan for around 5 years (http://www.megantaylor.co.uk) we met through a mutual pal at our very own coffee house (we own St .David's Coffee House in Forest Hill with a dear friend). Meg actually shot our wedding and we found her to be amazing and personable and so easy to work with. We soon became great friends and have since developed an amazing working relationship. Meg has shot almost every project of ours from interior shoots, to magazine shoots to commercial work. She has shot everything from National Trust properties to Mary Berry's book cover! Having a great photographer captures the vision we had in our mind at the start of the project. We have developed a short hand that means we work quickly, but also have lots of fun and get the best results. Meg, we love you and without your amazing talent we wouldn't be able to share the work that we do!
Before the shoot we always go to New Covent Garden flower market. It's amazing, we love the early morning drive (usually 4am) and it's often a surreal trip! It's by far the best and most affordable way to buy flowers and plants for shoots. You can basically buy anything and if they don't have it they will get it for you - everything from trees to tiny cacti. They can get it for you. If you are going, remember it's a wholesale place so you have to add VAT onto the price they tell you! Doing this the day before means we get the best of the best and at their freshest.
So we have the flowers, the plants and the photographer. The next bit is really dull but so essential. The house or property is given a deep clean to make sure everything is sparkling and there are no signs of ever having been filled with builders! Ironing is next and can take hours! In a house that has four bedrooms that soon adds up... 16 pillows 4 quilts 4 sheets etc etc... but good preparation means good results! In this case we did it the day before just to maximise the daylight on shoot day!
So everything's clean and everything's crisp and we are ready to shoot. This is our favourite part. There are hours of tweaking. Move that cushion an inch to the left, that leaf on the tulips needs to stand up... dongling (that's what we call using the reflector to get more light) we are often in very precarious positions crammed in a corner or in a bath holding a light but it's so much fun! Making beautiful pictures of rooms and houses is often so different to how they are in the flesh. Something's too close to camera or too far away. We have a very clean look when it comes to styling... we often start with more and keep taking things away. One less cushion, no pile of books with a rose and lit candle, and no tray of hot coffee with a boiled egg on a bed. We have developed this over the last few years and it's important that we are still able to play and experiment when on a shoot. Always allow the opportunity to change and listen to your photographer. But most of all have fun!
Can't wait to share this one with you and we really hope you love it as much as our clients and we do!

"Admission to Day Surgery Unit"
About: Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary / Urology Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary Urology DG1 4AP
Posted by Unhappy and hungry' (as ),
I was admitted for a procedure on the Day Surgery Ward in Dumfries General Hospital earlier this month. On arrival the receptionist was pleasant and smiled. From then on all the staff I came in to contact with were cheerful and helpful. I had never had this particular procedure done before and the nurses were very reassuring.
The waiting area was clean, quiet and much nicer than I had expected. I was taken in to a room in private to have everything checked and the nurse explained gave me the opportunity to ask questions to me. The urologist was polite, introduced himself and shook my hand before he explained what he was going to do.
I would just like to say a big thank you for everyone being so nice, (and smiling)which made the admission a much better experience than I had anticipated.
Thank you

The Dreamline program is grounded in the well-researched theory that students who develop powerful relationships with trusted adults begin to change attitudes towards school, their self, and their future. Students from low-income and under-resourced communities have a critical need for such relationships in order to navigate school settings. In partnership with public schools in St. Paul, Dreamline coaches offer in-school academic support and deliver afterschool enrichment and program activities. Targeting students who disengage academically and feel disconnected from school, Dreamline coaches use relationship building as a tool to improve academic performance and self-efficacy, and the overall school climate.

Spiced Chili
Recipe by bake_a_holic
Using a slow cooker makes it easy to prepare this chili. But also tastes great made on the stovetop.
Top Review by berry271
Nice to come home to on a Sunday afternoon. I typically also make rice in my smaller slow cooker to serve this over. Makes a nice big batch which means leftovers, which I love. I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Cookbook. They credit it to Julie Brent. I often substitute white or black beans for the kidney beans because of our diet. Choose a good tomato sauce as it does play a big part in the flavor, in spite of all the spices added. Spiced Chili is a good name for it, although it is not what I would call "spicy" just flavorful, which makes sense as the chili powder is really the only traditional chili spice in this recipe. I usually use diced tomatoes instead of the stewed (personal preference) and skip the Italian seasoning as I don't keep it on hand and the recipe already calls for basil, garlic, and oregano. I also sometimes skip the marjoram as I don't always have that on hand either, but it always seems to come out okay.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, cut up
- 1 cup water
- 2 bay leaves
- 1⁄4 cup chili powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- bread, bowls (optional)
- shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- additional chopped onion (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
- Transfer to a 5 quart slow cooker. Stir in the beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes, water and seasonings.
- Cover and let cook on low for 4-5 hours. Discard bay leaves. If desired, serve in bread bowls and garnish with cheese and onion.
- Stovetop directions.
- If you like to make chili on the stovetop use a dutch oven instead of a skillt to cook the beef, onion and garlic. Add the ingredients to the dutch oven instead of the slow cooker. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Discard bay leaves.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Sharing some thoughts at halftime of the Patriots' season-opening game against the Bills, with the Patriots leading 17-14:
This was a half in which mistakes by both teams led to points.
A fumble by Bills running back C.J. Spiller on the second play of Buffalo's first drive set a tone for what was generally a sloppy 30 minutes for the Bills' offense. It was forced by cornerback Kyle Arrington and the Patriots turned it into their first touchdown (Julian Edelman TD catch). Arrington also forced a second fumble in the second quarter, leading to another touchdown (Edelman again), as Arrington and Edelman have been two of the Patriots' top players today.
A fumble by Patriots running back Stevan Ridley -- in which he wasn't touched but lost his footing and then the football (it was returned 74 yards for a touchdown by safety Da'Norris Searcy) -- was one of the Patriots' biggest miscues. The Patriots led 10-0 at the time, so that was a big mistake.
Ridley's ball security is a concern for the Patriots. He also lost a football earlier in the game, but was ruled to be down and the Patriots kept the ball. Ridley did not play another snap after his fumble.
Late in the second quarter, a pass intended for tight end Zach Sudfeld was intercepted when Sudfeld lost his footing coming out of his break. Footing was an issue for the team (it had been raining for parts of the weekend here).
From a strategy standpoint, the Bills are primarily playing a three-receiver package on offense, which has the Patriots in their nickel defense. The 'D' has mostly been up to the challenge, except for what looked like a blown coverage at the end of the second quarter on a Robert Woods touchdown catch.
Offensively, the Patriots have worked hard to establish the line of scrimmage by sometimes using an extra offensive lineman as an eligible receiver/extra tight end. That also ties to their shortage at tight end, with Rob Gronkowski not yet ready for action and just Michael Hoomanawanui and Sudfeld at the position.
The Patriots are mixing their packages but this isn't the explosive offense we've come to expect in recent years. Receiver Danny Amendola has looked sharp, and there is an obvious comfort level that Tom Brady has developed with him. Ditto for Edelman. Outside of that, however, it's a work in progress.
In some respects, this isn't a surprise. With so many changes at receiver and tight end, some growing pains were anticipated.
On the injury front, the Patriots were without linebacker Brandon Spikes, who was on for two snaps and left with dehydration. Amendola limped off late in the second quarter and was holding his groin while stretching on the sideline.
The Bills get the ball to start the second half.

VConnect, Nigeria's largest business search and review website, has announced plans for its maiden conference for small and medium enterprises dubbed 'SME Conference 1.0'.
Organized in partnership with Facebook, the SME Conference 1.0 is an invite-only one-day event aimed at exposing over 200 small businesses to innovative ways they can power business growth through strategies that startups already take for granted.
According to VConnect Head of Communications, Meher Melwani, the conference will also expose businesses to the current trends around small business financing.
"Our hypothesis is that more than 70 percent of small businesses in Nigeria lack access to funding," said Meher Melwani. "Conversations at SME Conference 1.0 will deep-dive into how small businesses can find innovative ways to get growth funding and the best ways to deploy these funds."
According to information available to The AUTHORITY, more than a dozen industry masterminds will speak at the event which will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions and master classes.
Speaking on the conference, Jennifer Fong, Strategic Product Partnership manager at Facebook said, the platform will give SMEs instructive ideas for real growth in 2017.
"We are excited about this gathering. Internet tools have made entrepreneurship far easier than it was a few years ago," said Jennifer.
"This conference will bring these SMEs up to speed on the resources and technologies available to them, and we are excited about this kind of empowerment."
The event will hold on January 19, 2017. Entry is free, but interested participants have to register, while registration closes on January 17, 2017.

Max's Personal Values
Background music!
Personal Freedom
I value personal freedom- I would rather choose my path than have someone else choose for me-that way I'm not subject to forces mostly out of my control.
I value peace- violence is a crude way of dealing with the world, and one that indicates that you aren't civilized or rational enough to attempt a more peaceful interaction. It's also rather pointless and harmful to all parties involved.
I value happiness- This one's fairly self-explanatory. Everyone should strive to make the most of life, and to be happy. Of course, you shouldn't hurt other people to make yourself happy, but anything else is fine
Education and intellectuality
I value education and intellectuality- the ability to speak precisely is useful, and so is a good repertoire of knowledge. Also, it bothers me when people speak using improper word placement, bad syntax, and/or excessive use of profanities. It's just not the way a civilized people should choose to converse.
Good (but not spectacular) health
I value decent health- it's good to maintain a level of health just to keep you from being unnecessarily hindered(i.e. sick or too weak to do many things), but fitness shouldn't get excessive focus-it distracts from the things that are important in life, like pursuit of happiness, and in the end as a life skill it's not as useful as being able to think clearly and quickly.

SCORE: A New Empirical Method for Estimating the Binding Affinity of a Protein-Ligand Complex
- 377 Downloads
A new method is presented to estimate the binding affinity of a protein-ligand complex with known three-dimensional structure. The method, SCORE, uses an empirical scoring function to describe the binding free energy, which includes terms to account for van der Waals contact, metal-ligand bonding, hydrogen bonding, desolvation effect, and deformation penalty upon the binding process. The coefficients of each term are obtained by multivariate regressional analysis of a diverse training set of 170 protein-ligand complexes. The final scoring function reproduces the binding free energies of the whole training set with a cross-validated deviation of 6.3 kJ/mol. The predictive ability of the function is further tested by a set of 11 endothiapepsin complexes and the internal consistency of the function is demonstrated in a stepwise procedure named Evolutionary Test. A major innovation of this method is the introduction of an atomic binding score which allows the researcher to inspect and optimize the lead compound rationally in a structure-based drug design scheme.

I used to enjoy asking people out for dates. but when you keep getting constant hate, game played. people just generally not giving a damn about the person you are. it's not worth my time. even when you like someone a lot. they don't care to think about how their words affect people. I've tried to look online to date. but clicking on anyones profile makes me feel sick. so i guess what im asking is dating worth it?
Dating is it worth it?

What Girls Said 2
Dating is a new concept. People used to meet their future husbands and partners in school. the local ice cream social, their neighborhood, the childhood friend... with that said, dating can be fun, but it can also be emotionally draining because you might get attatched to someone more than others. You might make a friend (for long or short term), you might just bump into someone that wants a friends with benefits (but if that's not what you want, then DON'T lead them on!)... Just be careful and make sure that both parties know what's up and if you are ready to commit to them, then do so, and don't flake out...11|00|0
I forgot to add that you should find some common ground because that is what will build your relationship and keep it afloat... the big ones especially...
That's exactly it. it's better to be up front and honest. then to leave a person wondering in mystery etc
No, it's not worth it00|00|0

Very professional in all areas and did an excellent job. They shared some good ideas about the future development of our garden along the way too. We will be using them again in the future.
Excellent workmanship. So good in fact we have asked him to do a lot more work for us. Friendly, conscientious, clean and tidy.
Matt did a brilliant job repointing two walls of our house at a competitive price. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in future.
Stuart worked very hard and finished the job to a high standard and a fair price. Would highly recommend
Sebastian and his colleagues were fantastic. They completed the required work quickly and to a very high standard. The price quoted was just right. The team turned up on time and cleaned up after themselves - leaving the area in a much better state than when they had started. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sebastian and his team, indeed we are looking for them to do further work for us, and we have recommended them widely to neighbours.

Separate names with a comma.
replaces Rio Haryanto
Could you make a version of this helmet wihtout the manor and mercedes logos? And so that this could be used in career mode.
Awesome work!
Can you please make the helmet redder? Like in real life because in the game it looks grey and white? That would be much appreciated!
Now working fine, thanks :)
why would you create mods for a game that you don't even own i don't get it....
Just bugged, everywhere yellow texture, on the helmet, on the HANS system, on the gloves.
Hmmm...Sorry, i don't have the game, only the folders and files, so i cant test it ! I will try to solve it tho.

Jason Collins became the first openly gay athlete in a major professional sport when the NBA center came out of the closet. The announcement was coordinated with a Sports Illustrated cover story in an issue set to come out on May 6th. Collins' history making editorial begins:
"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay.
I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand."
There are already a handful of former athletes who have come out as gay, and current athletes who are vocal straight supporters, but Jason Collins is the first major sport athlete to come out in the middle of his career. NBA Commissioner David Stern released a statement supporting Collins' bravery:
"As Adam Silver and I said to Jason, we have known the Collins family since Jason and Jarron joined the NBA in 2001 and they have been exemplary members of the NBA family. Jason has been a widely respected player and teammate throughout his career and we are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue."
"I won't lie. I had no idea. We talked, he answered my questions, I hugged him and digested what he had told me. At the end of the day, this is what matters: He's my brother, he's a great guy, and I want him to be happy. I'll love him and I"ll support him and, if necessary, I'll protect him."
Proud of @jasoncollins34. Don't suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others #courage #support #mambaarmystandup #BYOU— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) April 29, 2013
It might not be long before we get a cascade of these announcements. Brendan Ayanbadejo, an outspoken LBGT advocate in the NFL, said that four NFL players might come out together this offseason. There are likely a fair number of closeted professional athletes waiting for someone else to take the coming out plunge. It makes sense that a fringy player like Collins in the back end of his career would be the first. The next big step will be for a player in his prime, and then a star player. Now, that Collins has taken the plunge, who knows how many will follow in his slipstream.

Royal Worcester Bronze Porcelain Sharp-Shinned Hawk
An outstanding Sharp-Shinned Hawk figurine made of fine porcelain (the bird) and bronze (the branches) and hand painted in realistic colors with exquisite attention to detail and shading. It was made in England in 1985 by Royal Worcester as part of their "Birds of Prey" series in a limited edition of 9,800, although I understand there were production problems and less than the 9,800 were made. You'll find the figurine to be in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs and measuring 7 inches in height and just over 5.5 inches in width at the wings. It is marked on the bottom with a metal medallion which reads "Birds of Prey, 1985 Royal Worcester, Sharp-Shinned Hawk, Made in England, an edition of 9800". So if Raptors and Birds of Prey are among your favorites you may want to seriously consider this Hawk, we believe you will be impressed with him from the moment he's unwrapped.....
