Wannabe model jailed for stabbing man at "house party gone wrong"
A WANNABE model has been jailed for stabbing a man at a house party.
Samantha Houlgrave, 20, was caged for 10 years after she stabbed a man for trying to leave with drinks he had brought with him.
The brunette got angry when Samuel Madden went to get the rest of the bottles of drink he arrived with from her kitchen.
Preston Crown Court heard she plunged a nine-inch kitchen knife into his abdomen, causing critical injuries to his kidney and liver.
The victim, who was in his 20s, had to undergo extensive surgery to make sure he was not suffering internal bleeding to his vital organs.
A jury convicted Houlgrave, of Blackburn, Lancs, of inflicting grievous bodily harm following a five-day trial.
Last Friday she was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, plus a further three on an extended licence, by Judge Jacqueline Beech.
But minutes later she was hauled before furious Judge Anthony Russell QC the Recorder of Preston - after lighting a cigarette in her court cell setting the fire alarms off.
Preston Crown Court was briefly evacuated as the fire brigade were called and security staff had to check there was not a real fire anywhere else on the premises.
Angry Judge Russell ordered she be brought before him, as the building's most senior judge, and apologise for her smoking.
The judge told her: "It needs to be understood that it could well be a contempt of court either to bring items to court which should not be brought and certainly, to use them in a way which results in disrupting proceedings."
James Heyworth, representing Houlgrave, said she apologised for the inconvenience.
Earlier a different judge was told how Houlgrave had stabbed her victim at a "house party gone wrong."
DC Rob Sledge, of Lancashire Police, said Mr Madden had been left with both physical and mental scars as a result of the attack, which happened when a row broke out over alcohol.
He said: "They had both been drinking at Houlgrave's house. It was a house party gone wrong.
"Mr Madden decided to leave and he wanted to take the drinks he had paid for with him. Houlgrave objected.
"She said she picked the knife up off the grass outside the house and she forgot she had it in her hand.
"She said she went to push Mr Madden away and that is when she stabbed him."
Mr Madden needed surgery to repair the "nicks" in his organs.
DC Sledge added: "He will have life-long scarring and has had to have a lot of extensive surgical intervention.
"Mr Madden has been really lucky because the surgeon said if the knife had gone in half an inch either side of where it did, he would be dead."

I like Dave Simons.
I respect his service to his country in the Army and Air National Guard.
I admire his skills as a campaign consultant.
And I believe — more about this later — he's still a solid bet to be elected school board president.
But I don't plan to vote for him.
Despite his savvy manipulation of the electoral process, he shows too little respect for its underlying purpose — or for voters.
And scant regard for how much the fragile health of our democracy hinges on informed consent.
Don't get me wrong; I was only mildly disappointed that Simons skipped some debates.
A smart candidate looks for votes where he — or she — can find them, which is often somewhere else than the debate circuit.
Simons knows that, and so does Democratic U.S. Sen. hopeful Michelle Nunn, whose foes sometimes have resorted to debating empty lecterns.
Nor was I much miffed by allegations that Simons may not have complied with the letter of Georgia lobbying registration law, which — for those who have consulted it — is about as clear as the Internal Revenue Code.
In short, you're a lobbyist — except when you're not, and you have to register — except when you don't.
But I do worry about Simons' apparent indifference to at least the appearance of conflicts of interest posed by his campaign donor list.
It includes folks who do millions of dollars worth of business with the school district.
Moreover, he sometimes represents contractors in their dealings with school officials.
On behalf of one such client, he addressed a missive about a racially sensitive contracting issue only to white board members.
Despite that display of insensitivity, Simons doesn't need to convince me he isn't a racist.
But, as president, he'd start with miles of fence mending to do with members he's given reason to wonder whether their views matter to him.
His initial response to some such revelations was that he's a businessman and has no apologies for that.
For that Simons needs none, but, in stressing that point, he sidesteps a bigger one.
Let's concede his point that business is invaluable to our community. It provides freedom to choose, jobs and, of course, tax revenue.
But, while education depends on business and business on education, they aren't the same.
Education is — among other things — preparation for a life of personal growth, ethical interactions and responsible citizenship.
You can no more credibly reduce education to delivering people with marketable skills to employers than you can reduce journalism to delivering readers to advertisers.
So — contrary to what Simons sometimes seems to imply — the school board is more than a committee of the Chamber of Commerce.
For me, at least, there was a last straw: He responded to criticisms with "robo calls" whining to selected voters that he's being smeared by the "liberal media."
He meant, of course, the folks at the Savannah Morning News — you know, the pinkos who endorsed Romney, McCain, the Bushes and another well-known lefty, Reagan.
Bottom line: Simons chose to shoot the messenger rather than rebut the specifics of concerns about his suitability for the board presidency.
What's sad, though, is that he really might not need to — which brings me back to his election prospects.
Relatively few people vote in primaries. And of those likely to vote Tuesday, most are Simons' fellow Republicans.
Here's why: The hotly contested races mainly involve Republicans rather than Democrats.
So, as the only GOP aspirant for board president, Simons expects party preferences to spill over — which they often do, even in nominally nonpartisan elections like this one.
He also knows Democratic votes likely will be split among the four other candidates.
So he's almost a shoo-in for a spot in what will probably be a July 22 runoff between the two top finishers.
Why a runoff? It's a five-way race and the winner needs a majority. Anyway, Simons need run merely no worse than second.
And what then?
Nothing against Dems, but the record shows that they're pretty lax about turning out for runoffs.
And — as on Tuesday — most of the big showdowns on July 22 will be between Republicans. So they'll have more motivation — in Chatham County and elsewhere — to return to the polls.
So — to repeat — Simons may well win.
But without my vote.

no one can answer that.. but I would think it safe to say that your birth control is not very effective. I would definitely suggest a switch in kinds (unless of course, you're not taking it consistantly enough).
Either way.. we're not here to judge.. but getting another abortion that close can pose serious health concerns. Plus I know that the more times you have an abortion, the less likely you'll be to ever have a child. You definitely want to consult a physician to find out the specifics (because I certainly don't know them).
Many women would kill for your problem..
If your BC isn't working properly or you aren't able to take your pills and the exact same time every day, I would suggest adding a condom into the mix or abstaining from sex until you're ready to have children. Let's face it.. when having sex.. it's always a possibility... no matter how careful you are.
For the record? I got pregnant on the pill, too. I was only 20.. and definitely didn't even want children ever, much less now. But I'm pretty ###### excited, despite the thought of having a child, a husband, a job full time, and school full time to deal with..

DIY Button Covered Ornaments
I have never tried to do this before but I think this year will be the year! Today we are featuring these beautiful button covered ornaments done by Leslie at the Leslie Ashe blog. So cute! The ribbon on top is a nice touch.
There's a couple ways to do this… you can use a clear plastic ornament and hot glue gun to apply buttons. Or, you can get a styrofoam ball and use pins to affix your buttons. (Youtube Tutorial)
Here's the link to the post…

Our first new album in 7 years, Blues Epidemic was a real joy to produce. 100% recorded, mixed and produced by us, in Kelty's newest studio – 'Gary & Lorraine's Hoose' .
Excerpt from Blues Matters (British blues magazine) review:
'This band has everything, great guitar work delivered with class by Derek Welsh, dynamic vocals from Angela Moore with her distinctive smokey, emotive voice & Gary Arnott who also provides a generous dash of blues-harp & a swinging rhythm section courtesy of Dave Welsh & Graeme Smith.'


text: I'm good friends with my VZW guy and he's been seeing what he can do to get me into the promo pricing, and after looking into pretty much everything I was still going to be stuck paying full retail. Then he asked if I knew anyone who would be interested in my Storm2 (here come the jokes I'm sure...) and if so he could switch my phone over to them in exchange for their upgrade. So, lo and behold one of my buddies has a Curve 8330 and is getting ready to deploy soon and it wouldn't do him much good to upgrade anytime soon. So he's getting my Storm2, I get his upgrade and it doesn't affect my upgrade date whatsoever so the other plus is that if another bad @ss phone gets released next year I'd most likely qualify for that as well. So for all of you stuck paying retail, see if any of your friends qualify for an upgrade but aren't phone freaks like we are. Just a thought, good luck everyone.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 142075
Setting calculation-intensive process to a nice value of 19 still leaves the system largely unresponsive.
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:33 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Description of problem:
I have a Fedora Core 2 box running on a 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium(R) 4
processor. I ssh'ed into the FC2 box and ran Crack5, which is known to
be quite calculation-intensive, with a nice value of 19; then I went
to sit in front of the same FC2 box to log into GNOME desktop. It
still took the system half an hour to display the desktop. Even after
the desktop is displayed, the application menu took another 10 minutes
to display after I click on the red hat icon. Then it took me another
30 minutes to log off. This doesn't happen when Crack5 is not running.
Shouldn't a nice value of 19 make Crack5 yield much more often to
other processes?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build and run Crack5 ("nice" it now to 19 or "renice" later)
2. If you have not nice'd Crack5 to 19 already, "renice" it in "top"
or using "renice" command.
3. Try to do anything in GNOME Desktop. Open gedit, whatever. ;)

Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closing per lack of response. Also note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer
supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please
assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6,
please reopen and assign to the correct version.

Nov 16, 2014Terrible AI. It doesn't matter if you're a world-class pro, the game will keep the opponents immediately behind you. It doesn't matter if there are more opportune targets, the AI will save its weapons to ensure the player doesn't place on the podium. Couple this with bugs that mean the game doesn't always actually count your successes, and it's a very frustrating experience.
jsJul 9, 2008one of the dullest racing games i've ever played. no skill to it at all, just hold down x and steer your hovercraft thing through gates. you can "strafe" and use weapons and brake and go up and down, but theres never any reason to unless you are bored (which is likely). looks nice but there is a lot more to a game than presentation.
It is not a must-have title, by any means, but it does have some entertainment value.
Thanks to Koei making some key enhancements, the controls have now been fixed up considerably, erasing much of the game's previous faults.

Strep throat
Patient : I am a mother of twins. My question is about strep. If one of my kids get strep I try and disenfect as much as I can to prevent the other one from getting it. My question is....How long can strep live on a surface and still infect???? Thankq!!
Doctor : It is not possible to calculate the exact time of infection of those STD's; however you can estimate depending on when t the symptoms appeared. Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because the majority of infected people have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure. The symptoms of gonorrhea are often mild, but most women who are infected have no symptoms. Even when a woman has symptoms, they can be so non-specific as to be mistaken for a bladder or vaginal infection. Men with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all. However, some men have signs or symptoms that appear two to five days after infection; symptoms can take as long as 30 days to appear.

Arctic Hotel Greenland is the world's most northerly 4 star hotel. It is located right on the edge of the Ilulissat Ice Fjord – a wonder of the world which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Ice Fjord contains some of the biggest and most active glaciers in the world. It is like a park full of ice sculptures constantly changing. Shapes, colours and sounds from the icebergs are hard to forget – and while staying at the Hotel Arctic you will be able to enjoy the views of the beautiful fjord, even if your room does not have a fjord room you only need to step outside to see over the fjord. The main hotel building is located about 100 metres from the coast.
The hotel has the Restaurant Ulo which serves Greenlandic cuisine. The hotel has 85 rooms, all of them equipped with: Wireless internet for small fee, cable TV, telephone, radio alarm, extra pillow, hairdryer, floor heating in the bathroom, toiletries, mosquito net, desk, child's bed, dimmable lamps, iron and ironing board, room service and laundry service 7 days of the week.Distances:
Hotel rooms in Scandinavia are generally furnished with twin beds, which can be moved together to form a double bed or placed separately (some hotels have double beds though). Unless otherwise specified all rooms have private bathroom facilities, which are often equipped with a shower instead of a bath. Please note that single rooms are generally smaller than doubles. Purpose-built triple or family rooms are likewise unusual in Scandinavian hotels. Whilst it is possible for 3 persons to share a room, this will normally be formed by a double room with an extra bed. As a result space may be restricted.
Unless otherwise clearly specified a standard room/cabin is included in the tour price.

This invention relates to an apparatus used in the process of coating a stent, and more particularly provides a nozzle for use in drug eluting stent spray coating.
Blood vessel occlusions are commonly treated by mechanically enhancing blood flow in the affected vessels, such as by employing a stent. Stents act as scaffolding, functioning to physically hold open and, if desired, to expand the wall of affected vessels. Typically stents are capable of being compressed, so that they can be inserted through small lumens via catheters, and then expanded to a larger diameter once they are at the desired location. Examples in the patent literature disclosing stents include U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,665 issued to Palmaz, U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,882 issued to Gianturco, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,062 issued to Wiktor.
Stents are used not only for mechanical intervention but also as vehicles for providing biological therapy. Biological therapy can be achieved by medicating the stents. Medicated stents provide for the local administration of a therapeutic substance at the diseased site. Local delivery of a therapeutic substance is a preferred method of treatment because the substance is concentrated at a specific site and thus smaller total levels of medication can be administered in comparison to systemic dosages that often produce adverse or even toxic side effects for the patient.
One method of medicating a stent involves the use of a polymeric carrier coated onto the surface of the stent. A composition including a solvent, a polymer dissolved in the solvent, and a therapeutic substance dispersed in the blend is applied to the stent by spraying the composition onto the stent. The solvent is allowed to evaporate, leaving on the stent surfaces a coating of the polymer and the therapeutic substance impregnated in the polymer.
A shortcoming of the above-described method of medicating a stent is the potential for coating defects and the lack of uniformity of the amount of composition material sprayed onto stents. While some coating defects can be minimized by adjusting the coating parameters, other defects occur due the shot to shot variation leading to excess composition being sprayed onto the stent. One cause of this shot to shot variation is the type of spray coater used. For example, a conventional EFD N1537 (EFD Inc. East Providence R.I.) spray coater uses a valve mechanism to dispense fluid and is most suitable for dispensing large amounts of composition (i.e., grams) and not small amounts (e.g., milligrams per spray cycle) as used in stent coating applications. Accordingly, conventional spray coaters tend to spray excess coating onto stents, which may stick to the stent, thereby leaving excess coating as clumps or pools on the struts or webbing between the struts.
Accordingly, a new nozzle for spraying coating is needed to minimize coating defects.
In accordance with one embodiment, a stent coating apparatus is provided comprising a pump capable of dispensing a stent coating composition from a reservoir; an atomizer capable of atomizing the stent coating composition; and a nozzle assembly in communication with the atomizer, the nozzle assembly having a needle in fluid communication with the reservoir for dispensing the composition onto a stent from the reservoir. In one embodiment, the nozzle assembly enables external atomization of the coating composition. Alternatively, the nozzle assembly enables internal atomization of the coating composition. A segment of the needle can protrudes out from the nozzle assembly. The length of the segment that protrudes out from the nozzle assembly can be adjusted by a user. The needle can be a hypodermic needle or a hypotube. The nozzle assembly can include an air chamber in fluid communication with the atomizer and capable of receiving air for atomizing the composition by exhausting the received air from an annular aperture of the air chamber that circumscribes the needle.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a nozzle assembly capable of dispensing a stent coating composition is provided comprising a needle centering body; a needle disposed in the needle centering body, the needle capable of dispensing the composition onto a stent; and an air chamber coupled to the needle centering body, wherein the air chamber is capable of receiving air from an atomizer for atomizing the composition as the composition is dispensed from the needle on to a stent.
A method of coating a stent is also provided, comprising positioning a nozzle assembly having a needle disposed therein next to a stent, wherein the needle is in fluid communication with a reservoir containing a coating composition; discharging the coating composition from the reservoir out from the needle; and atomizing the coating composition into droplets as the coating composition is discharged out from the needle. The composition can be atomized within the nozzle assembly or external to the nozzle assembly. The composition can include, for example, a polymer dissolved in a solvent optionally a therapeutic substance added thereto.
Non-limiting and non-exhaustive embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the following figures, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views unless otherwise specified.
The pump 120 pumps fluid from the reservoir 125, for coating the stent 10, to the nozzle assembly 140 via a tubing 130. The pump 120 may pump the fluid from the reservoir 125 at a rate of 0.15 cc/min, for example. In one embodiment of the invention, the pump 120 includes a syringe pump. In another embodiment of the invention, the pump 120 includes a gear pump. It will be appreciated that the pump 120 can comprise other types of pumps and/or combinations of pumps such as a positive displacement pump or a green pump.
The coating substance can include a solvent and a polymer dissolved in the solvent and optionally a therapeutic substance or a drug added thereto. Representative examples of polymers that can be used to coat a stent include ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (commonly known by the generic name EVOH or by the trade name EVAL); poly(hydroxyvalerate); poly(L-lactic acid); polycaprolactone; poly(lactide-co-glycolide); poly(glycerol-sebacate); poly(hydroxybutyrate); poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate); polydioxanone; polyorthoester; polyanhydride; poly(glycolic acid); poly(D,L-lactic acid); poly(glycolic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate); polyphosphoester; polyphosphoester urethane; poly(amino acids); cyanoacrylates; poly(trimethylene carbonate); poly(iminocarbonate); copoly(ether esters) (e.g. PEO/PLA); polyalkylene oxalates; polyphosphazenes; biomolecules, such as fibrin, fibrinogen, cellulose, starch, collagen and hyaluronic acid; polyurethanes; silicones; polyesters; polyolefins; polyisobutylene and ethylene-alphaolefin copolymers; acrylic polymers and copolymers; vinyl halide polymers and copolymers, such as polyvinyl chloride; polyvinyl ethers, such as polyvinyl methyl ether; polyvinylidene halides, such as polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinylidene chloride; polyacrylonitrile; polyvinyl ketones; polyvinyl aromatics, such as polystyrene; polyvinyl esters, such as polyvinyl acetate; copolymers of vinyl monomers with each other and olefins, such as ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers, acrylonitrilestyrene copolymers, ABS resins, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers; polyamides, such as Nylon 66 and polycaprolactam; alkyd resins; polycarbonates; polyoxymethylenes; polyimides; polyethers; epoxy resins; polyurethanes; rayon; rayon-triacetate; cellulose; cellulose acetate; cellulose butyrate; cellulose acetate butyrate; cellophane; cellulose nitrate; cellulose propionate; cellulose ethers; and carboxymethyl cellulose.
"Solvent" is defined as a liquid substance or composition that is compatible with the polymer and is capable of dissolving the polymer at the concentration desired in the composition. Examples of solvents include, but are not limited to, dimethylsulfoxide, chloroform, acetone, water (buffered saline), xylene, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, tetrahydrofuran, 1-butanone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate, methylethylketone, propylene glycol monomethylether, isopropanol, isopropanol admixed with water, N-methylpyrrolidinone, toluene, and mixtures and combinations thereof.
The therapeutic substance or drug can be for inhibiting the activity of vascular smooth muscle cells. More specifically, the active agent can be aimed at inhibiting abnormal or inappropriate migration and/or proliferation of smooth muscle cells for the inhibition of restenosis. The active agent can also include any substance capable of exerting a therapeutic or prophylactic effect in the practice of the present invention. For example, the agent can be for enhancing wound healing in a vascular site or improving the structural and elastic properties of the vascular site. Examples of agents include antiproliferative substances such as actinomycin D, or derivatives and analogs thereof (manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich 1001 West Saint Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. 53233; or COSMEGEN available from Merck). Synonyms of actinomycin D include dactinomycin, actinomycin IV, actinomycin I1, actinomycin X1, and actinomycin C1. The active agent can also fall under the genus of antineoplastic, antiinflammatory, antiplatelet, anticoagulant, antifibrin, antithrombin, antimitotic, antibiotic, antiallergic and antioxidant substances. Examples of such antineoplastics and/or antimitotics include paclitaxel (e.g. TAXOL� by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Stamford, Conn.), docetaxel (e.g. Taxotere�, from Aventis S. A., Frankfurt, Germany) methotrexate, azathioprine, vincristine, vinblastine, fluorouracil, doxorubicin hydrochloride (e.g. Adriamycin� from Pharmacia & Upjohn, Peapack N.J.), and mitomycin (e.g. Mutamycin� from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Stamford, Conn.). Examples of such antiplatelets, anticoagulants, antifibrin, and antithrombins include sodium heparin, low molecular weight heparins, heparinoids, hirudin, argatroban, forskolin, vapiprost, prostacyclin and prostacyclin analogues, dextran, D-phe-pro-arg-chloromethylketone (synthetic antithrombin), dipyridamole, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa platelet membrane receptor antagonist antibody, recombinant hirudin, and thrombin inhibitors such as Angiomax™ (Biogen, Inc., Cambridge, Mass.). Examples of such cytostatic or antiproliferative agents include angiopeptin, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril (e.g. Capoten� and Capozide� from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Stamford, Conn.), cilazapril or lisinopril (e.g. Prinivil� and Prinzide� from Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, N.J.); calcium channel blockers (such as nifedipine), colchicine, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) antagonists, fish oil (omega 3-fatty acid), histamine antagonists, lovastatin (an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, a cholesterol lowering drug, brand name Mevacor from Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, N.J.), monoclonal antibodies (such as those specific for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) receptors), nitroprusside, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, prostaglandin inhibitors, suramin, serotonin blockers, steroids, thioprotease inhibitors, triazolopyrimidine (a PDGF antagonist), and nitric oxide. An example of an antiallergic agent is permirolast potassium. Other therapeutic substances or agents which may be appropriate include alpha-interferon, genetically engineered epithelial cells, dexamethasone, and rapamycin.
The atomizer 160 supplies high-pressure air to the nozzle assembly 140 via a tubing 170 coupled to an air inlet 280 (
The mandrel fixture 180 supports the stent 10 during a coating application process. In addition, the mandrel fixture 180 can include an engine so as to provide rotational motion about the longitudinal axis of the stent 10, as depicted by the arrow 190, during the coating process. Another motor can also be provided for moving the stent 10 in a linear direction, back and forth. The mandrel control 170 is communicatively coupled to the mandrel fixture 180 and controls movement of the stent 10. The type of stent that can be crimped on the mandrel fixture 180 is not of critical significance. The term stent is broadly intended to include self- and balloon-type expandable stents as well as stent-grafts.
The nozzle assembly 140, as will be discussed in further detail in conjunction with
It will be appreciated that the multiple control devices, i.e., the pump control 110, atomizer control 150, and mandrel control 170 can be combined into a single control device to simplify setting parameters for an operator.
The hypodermic needle 220 is in liquid communication with the coupling 210 and receives the fluid for coating the stent 10 from the coupling 210. In an embodiment of the invention, the hypodermic needle 220 includes a 28 gauge needle. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the nozzle assembly 140 includes a hypotube in place of the hypodermic needle 220. The O-ring 230 is located between the coupling 210 and the needle centering body 240 and forms a tight seal there between.
The needle centering body 240 securely centers the hypodermic needle 220 within the nozzle assembly 140. A portion of the needle centering body 240 is located within the air chamber 270 so as to form an air cavity for receiving air from the atomizer 160 via the air inlet 280 and exiting via an air outlet 300 (
In an embodiment of the invention, both the needle centering body 240 and the air chamber 270 have surfaces that are threaded, thereby enabling them to be coupled together at variable positions so that the tip of the hypodermic needle 220 can extend at variable lengths from the air chamber 270, as will be discussed in further detail in conjunction with
Generally, smaller atomized droplets, e.g., a fine mist, is preferable to large droplets so as to ensure an even coating on the stent 10. Droplet size is directly proportional to the diameter of the hypodermic needle 220 orifice. Accordingly, a smaller needle orifice is superior for atomization than a larger diameter nozzle as used conventionally. More specifically, the standard median droplet diameter
and wherein diametero is the diameter of the needle 220 orifice. Accordingly, in addition to a small needle diameter, high air velocity and less fluid increases atomization of the fluid and therefore increases the even coating of the stent 10 with the fluid. Conventional nozzle assemblies that are designed to dispense grams of fluid per shot generally dispense large and uneven amounts of fluid per shot and so do not always enable adequate atomization. In contrast, the hypodermic needle 220 can dispense small uniform amounts of fluids via a small diameter orifice, thereby enabling adequate atomization of the fluid to ensure even coating of the stent 10. Another advantage of the hypodermic needle 220 is that it is disposable. Accordingly, the nozzle assembly 140 can be used for dispensing different fluids without worry of cross contamination by simply replacing the hypodermic needle 220 with a new needle.
The hypodermic needle 220, in the embodiment illustrated in
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications can be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects. Therefore, the appended claims are to encompass within their scope all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.

Whew! We survived another hectic spring plant sale season with off site plant sales nearly every week. Each spring we look forward to these sales but after six extremely busy weeks, it is also fun to have more nursery time.
|Wild Ginger Farm nursery
It should be a good year at the nursery. We have lots of new plants in propagation and some will be ready for sale within a few weeks. The gardens are beginning to wake up and we look forward to sprucing them up during the coming weeks. Two of our most popular garden areas, the Lewisia mound and the miniature conifer rock garden already look great.
|Lewisia longipetala x cotyledon
The Lewisia have been slowed by our cold spring weather but are finally coming into flower. At the nursery, we offer a number of Lewisia species and hybrids including Lewisia cotyledon, Lewisia pygmaea, Lewisia nevadensis and the extremely rare Lewisia glandulosa. We also have a pretty Lewisia longipetala x cotyledon hybrid that is a beautiful trough addition.

Many woodland plants are at their peak in spring and early summer. The strange and wonderful Arisaema are rising from the ground with the promise of their cobra like flowers and striking foliage. We are even seeing the earliest members of the hardy ginger family, Roscoea and Cautleya, begin to send out new shoots. It won't be long before we see their bright and colorful flowers. And we have a fabulous selection of the famous Himalayan Blue Poppy ready for sale at the nursery.
|Gorgeous Himlayan Blue Poppies including this Meconopsis 'Lingholm'
We plan a series of classes at the nursery this summer beginning on June 11th when our focus will be on Western native perennials. I'll blog in more detail about this later. You can always check the Wild Ginger Farm homepage for our current open hours and event schedule.

Throughout the summer, the nursery will be open to the public on Friday, Saturday and Sundays from 10 am to 4. We hope you will stop in and say hello!

Woman rushed to hospital after car crashes into restaurant
PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Armando Feliz says his battle has just begun.
"I've been fighting the state and the city for many, many years," he said.
This morning's accident has added fuel to the fire and is another reason why he wants to make the intersection in front of his property at Grand and 39th Avenues safer.
"We're trying to get a speed light right here," he said.
It was just after 6:30 a.m. when a car slammed right into the small restaurant situated on the corner. Neil Harr's brother was driving the SUV, which was one of three vehicles involved in the crash.
"There was a Camaro that pulled out right over here," he said. "He was trying to go east on Grand and didn't make it over, blocked oncoming lanes. My brother's car hit this car and sent it into the building."
The woman behind the wheel of the car that crashed into Marisco's was rushed to the hospital and is expected to be OK. Harr, who frequently travels the area, agrees with Feliz that something needs to change.
"I see crashes here all the time," he said. "Grand is horrible. People drive here 60 miles an hour, just pull out like it's nothing, switch lanes. Grand is just bad. That's why that girl was killed. It's because there was a bus driver."
Feliz recalls another accident, which was a collision involving a school bus in the same intersection roughly 10 years ago.
"It's upsetting because we could tell this was going to happen again and it's going to happen again and again and again until, finally, someone realizes we need a stop light here," he said.
Feliz has familiarized himself with every obstacle and hazard and hopes what happened today will make people listen and serve as a wake-up call.

Eurospace is happy to announce the formation of a new working group dedicated to Telecommunications.
This new WG held its first official meeting on December 18th 2012 at Eurospace premises. During the meeting, the WG elected Mrs. Agnès Salvatori (Astrium) as chair, and Mr. Michel Masselin (Thales Alenia Space) as vice-chairman for a period of 2 years. The WG also finalized and endorsed the last version of its Terms of Reference, the document will be presented for formal approval to the Eurospace Council during its next meeting. Finally, the WG started the drafting of a Position Paper that is planned to be circulated in early 2013.
More information, noticeably concerning the activities of the working group will come soon. However, if you wish to participate to the WG or to be kept informed about its activities, please send your e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com

The ECSS Steering Board Eurospace representatives, MM. Fiat and Le Moine, (CTOs of Thales Alenia Space and Astrium) sent an e-mail to Mr. Wolfgang Veith, head of the ESA Product Assurance and Safety Department to express the views and concerns of Eurospace on the ECSS future:
The European Coordination on Space Standardization (ECSS) has now achieved a level of maturity and recognition among the space industry that make it a strong asset for our operations in Europe and on world markets. This complete set of space standards addressing Management, Quality and Engineering domains developed with contributions from the Space Agencies and Industry of Europe has no match worldwide. It allows efficient agreements to be found in the frame of projects within Europe but also when addressing export markets.
ECSS added value resides in the consistent baseline of documents jointly discussed between European players and supported by tailoring principles for easy adaptation to product and projects needs.This set of documents needs to be maintained according to the feedback coming from its operational use and evolution of technologies not waiting for detriemental revision time of the standards or issue of new ones if required. EUROSPACE are committed to the development and maintenance of ECSS in order for Europe to remain at the edge of space standards and to benefit in the future from the positive effects of standardization. EUROSPACE express the wish that ESA and the National Space Agencies pursue their strong involvement in ECSS and maintain the positive spirit that has allowed the development and success of ECSS. ECSS is our common asset, let's make it our common success!*
Michel Fiat & Michel Le Moine
TAS and ASTRIUM CTOs
This position has been endorsed as a global Eurospace position during the STWG Meeting on November 15th 2012.

The dates for ESA 2013 Technology Harmonisation Process have been issued.
The 1st cycle Mapping Meeting will be held on Febraury 5-6th, whereas the 2nd one will take place on April 16-17th.
Industry representatives are invited but they must register through Eurospace; the agenda will be distributed as soon as made available by ESA.
The 2013 Harmonisation Process will deal with the following topics:
1st cycle:
2nd cycle
In addition to the above, the finalisation on the Roadmap for the topic of Frequency & Time Generation and Distribution – Space, put on-hold in 2011, will take place in the first half of 2013.
The finalisation of the Composite Materials Roadmap, put on-hold in 2011, will also be addressed as part of one of the nominal harmonisation cycles in 2013. Eurospace will also be requested to comment the conclusions of the Composite Materials Workshop held in June 2011.
Alessandro Saraceni
The EU Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 ("REACH") creates a new legal framework for the use of chemical substances in Europe (i.e. the 27 EU Member States plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). Multiple Cr(VI) compounds currently used in the European space industry – for example chromium trioxide as part of Alodine 1200 for surface treatment – are or will be included in the list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) subject to Authorisation (Annex XIV) of REACH in the beginning of 2013 and 2014. This means that they must no longer be used after "sunset dates" specified in Annex XIV, unless an authorisation has been granted to the user or the upstream manufacturer/importer. Authorisation applies regardless of the quantity used, and in addition to the REACH registration requirement.
Today Cr(VI) compounds are still critical components for space systems, as their complete substitution by suitable safer alternatives by the estimated "sunset dates" will not be possible. Lacking appropriate action, Cr(VI) usage in the European industry will be forbidden by 2017. This is why ESA together with the space industry industry has formed a Space Chromates Task Force in October 2012 in order to ensure continued use of Cr(VI) - where necessary - throughout the whole European space supply chain under the REACH authorisation scheme, also after 2017. The first operational activity of the Task Force is an information collection on Cr(VI) usage in the European space sector, in order to identify the Cr(VI) substances used, the organisations using them, the nature of the uses, other supply chain actors and authorisation intentions.
If your organisation is using/handling Cr(VI) substances for the development, production, and/or testing of space systems, it is concerned by REACH and shall contact Eurospace at the earliest to ensure that your organisation will be part of the joint activities of the Space Chromates Task Force.

Following the announcement of SIM WG Chair's retirement at SIM 35th meeting, the election of a new Chair was organised at SIM 36th meeting on October 25th 2012. Participants elected Mr Florent Ferres (Astrium ST) as new SIM WG Chair. Mr Ferres is Head of Market and Competition Analysis, in the Strategy and Market development Unit at Astrium Space Transportation.
Eurospace members and Eurospace executive wish to express their gratitude to Norbert Deutscher, who occupied the SIM WG chairman position since the WG was created in 2003, with neutrality, dedication and dynamism. Thank you Norbert!
On October 11th 2012 a space sector delegation led by Eurospace and composed of representatives from industry and ESA met with EC officials from the REACH and Environment units to formally present the REACH-Hydrazine position paper. The position paper was jointly prepared by industry and agencies (ESA, CNES, DLR) with the support of ESA; it was issued on June 18th 2012.
The presentations prepared by the sector were delivered within the required timeframe and were apparently well understood. It was quite clear also that many meeting participants from the EC had taken the time to review the position paper prior the meeting. This allowed for a fruitful encounter.
The questions raised by the EC were rather technical and addressed either clarification of hydrazine related processes in industry, either clarifications of the legal analysis performed by the sector. They were all addressed satisfactorily.
In conclusion EC (DG ENTR/REACH Unit) assured the space sector delegation that the EC will further its analysis of the position paper and will answer to the legal clarifications request. This might take 'a couple of months'.
The brand new 2012 edition of Eurospace RT Priorities has just been issued.

As a follow-on to the "Clean Space: Eco-design and Green Technology Workshop" held in ESTEC in June, ESA is now organizing "CleanSpace: Workshop on Active Space Debris Removal" that will address all technological aspects of the active removal of large uncontrolled objects from space as outlined in CleanSpace Branch 4.
The workshop is a 1.5 day event, free of any registration fee and open to the European and non-European public. It will take place at ESA/ESOC in Darmstadt (Germany) from September 17th at 1pm (half day) to September 18th at 6pm (full day), please save these dates.
You can find here the workshop announcement, containing information on Active Debris Removal in CleanSpace and the registration details.
We look forward to seeing all of you at the workshop.
The Eurospace facts and figures report is now available. Since 1996, the facts and figures report presents the consolidated economic situation of the European manufacturing industry (final sales of space systems and related employment), identifying space systems sales of the European industry by customer and by type of system.
Again in 2012 European space industry sales were in growth, supported mainly by the stepped up investment of ESA and member states for launcher development and consolidation activities.
The Eurospace facts and figures report is available in hardcopy from Eurospace. Eurospace members and European institutional stakeholders are entitled to free copies. Contact Pierre Lionnet at Eurospace in Paris for more information.

Most Young Jobseekers Spend Money to Pad Resumes
Job applicants head for an interview at a company in Seoul on July 14. /Yonhap
More than half of young jobseekers spend at least W200,000 a month to pad out their resumes and improve their chances in an increasingly competitive employment market (US$1=W1,122).
For many young jobseekers, who have no stable income, that is very expensive.
Job portal Saramin polled 500 jobseekers last week, and 51 percent said they spend more than W200,000 a month to boost their skills and stand out in the job market. Some spend W500,000 to W1 million and a handful more than W1 million.

I was alerted to this disappearance by several hounds on the France board.
The thread below, started my Mangeur, is my fave thread of all times. It is very iinformative about eating and lodging outside Paris, with the kind of addresses that one can't get from guides.
I therefore "saved" it, or so I thought.
All saved threads have disappeared.
Has any of you been informed ? I have not.
Those of you who were so privileged as to be told this move, could you tell me, like, why?
What is the improvement?
Where is the upside?
Or, why bother to make the effort to get rid of a useful feature?

Darkfold plays heavy rock blessed with a relentless dedication to melody and solid song-craft, plus the seeming incongruity of ferocious live performances and scholarly musical appreciation. Darkfold started in 2006, based on a mutual obsession with heavy rock music and sonic experimentation. Taking a cue from their heroes in Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden and Kyuss, they favor an open-minded, DIY approach to create conditions for continuous growth. Darkfold\'s pioneering neo-rock discoveries may give it the chance to forge something unlike any other band out there. What they have already uncovered is captivating.

Another example of new members everywhere promoting this on the net. Just an observation I have about my reservations on a deal too good to be true.
We are a GT Sponsor, and we are allowed to advertise our website.
As far as the deal goes, I purchased it just to make sure it works, and it worked well. They did have a glitch in the beginning, but now it is fixed.
Payment Method: Gift Certificate x8000
Amount: $100
Status: Captured
Payment Method: AMEX x1017
Amount: $2.70
Status: Captured
I purchased 10 boxes of 9mm and 1 box of 38 special, all reloads, total price including the gift certificate was 52.70, including shipping.
I didn't say you couldn't nor did I say it was a scam. I am just putting out a caution to your and my fellow shooters so they could research a bit more as this deal popped up on multiple gun sites I visit mainly from very new members. If it works it is a heck of a deal.
