1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to catheter type blood pressure measuring devices, which use transducers to develop signals responsive to fluid pressure waves present in blood vessels in which the catheters are inserted; and presents an apparatus for damping out resonant pressure waves from the pressure waves truly representative of the blood pressure in the vessel.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is well known in the prior art that blood pressure can be measured by means of a catheter inserted in a patient's vessel. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,600,324 to Rappaport issued June 10, 1952 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,122,136 to Murphy issued Feb. 25, 1964.
The damping of pulses in fluid is also known in the prior art. An example of damping is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 2,064,268 to Parker issued Dec. 15, 1936, in which movable rods in a pair of cylinders are used to absorb some of the fluid pressure. This device was not related to sterile medical applications, but does show one method of damping of fluid pressure.
It is known in the prior art that reducing the size of the opening through which fluid waves move will reduce net pressure. In patents, such as U.S. Pat. No. 1,121,105 to Karlson issued Dec. 15, 1914, this method was used to prevent surges of pressure from breaking the old-fashioned reading devices.
It is known that resonant waves can reduce the accuracy of the reading of blood pressure in catheter-type measuring devices. U.S. Pat. No. 3,865,100 to Kanai et al issued Feb. 11, 1975 attempted to solve this through a resilient damping device attached to a transducer which absorbs some of the pressure. This Kanai et al patent teaches no method of adjusting the rate of damping.
The following patents were found in a search of an early form of the invention; but do not seem particularly relevant to the present invention:

The following four publications discuss methods of correcting blood pressure measurement. An article entitled "Continuous Flushing Systems" by R. D. Latimer and K. E. Latimer in "Anesthesia", 1974, Volume 29, pages 307-317, discusses adding inertive resistance to the catheter system, but primarily focuses on parallel damping. It does not teach series damping by restriction.
An article entitled "Long-Term Clinical Recording of Static and Dynamic Intra-Arterial Blood Pressure" by B. Magnes and H. Nornes, Acta anaesth, Scand. 1974, 18, 215-223, discusses the use of a screw clamp to compress the infusion tubing. This article does not address the problem of resonant waves, however. This refers to the outdated problem of increased compliance in the monitoring system introduced by what are now-obsolete infusion machines. This screw clamp method isolated the infusion machine from the monitoring system and thus eliminated the extra compliance which it introduced. The problem addressed by the present invention is that of too little compliance or too little friction, which is the opposite of what is taught by this reference.
A book by L. A. Geddes entitled "The Direct and Indirect Measurement of Blood Pressure" discusses in Chapter 1, pages 9 through 69, the relation between the length of a needle for blood pressure and the damping coefficient. This article in general discussed the proper damping coefficient to be achieved by a system for measuring blood pressure. This article arrived at 0.7 as a theoretical damping coefficient needed to obtain critical damping. After this article, it has been found in practical experiments that 0.64 is the optimum practical value.
In a book entitled "Cardiovascular Fluid Dynamics" by D. H. Bergel from Academic Press 1972, Chapter 2 by I. T. Gabe at pages 11 through 50, includes an early discussion of damping waves in blood pressure measuring devices. This article discusses an older technology, such as placing a damping resistance at the open end of the catheter. This is unsatisfactory in that it is within the patient and inaccessible to external adjustment. The article also mentions the possibility of varying damping resistance with a needle valve. No apparatus for accomplishing this is known. The prior art encountered the problem of damping devices preventing flushing of the catheter. If the apparatus is not constantly flushed, blood will clot in it and block the system. This long-felt problem was not resolved in the prior art. After this mentioned of series damping by restriction, the article goes on to discuss parallel damping, which is the method followed by the industry every since. Parallel damping involves adding resistance and compliance to the measuring system out of line with the flow of pressure waves. Parallel damping is inferior to damping in series for two reasons. First, parallel damping often uses an air cushion to absorb pressure. This air may escape into the system. Air in the system can distort pressure readings and can also harm or kill the patient if it escapes into a blood vessel. Second, the amount of damping effect achievable is less with a parallel system. The more severe cases of resonance cannot be controlled as effectively by a parallel device.
No apparatus has been found in the prior art which provides variable series damping. No such apparatus has solved the problem of interference with constant flushing of the system.
The present invention is related to damping resonant pressure waves in a catheter type apparatus for measuring blood pressure. The open end of a catheter is inserted in a blood vessel of a patient. The other end of the catheter is fitted with a conduit such as hollow plastic tubing which leads to the measuring apparatus. The conduit is filled with a fluid for transmitting pressure, such as a physiologic saline solution. The fluid contacts the blood and variations in blood pressure are transmitted through the fluid. Blood pressure is measured by a pressure transducer which senses pressure waves in the fluid and converts them to electrical signals to be displayed on a monitor.
The accuracy of the blood pressure reading is affected by resonant waves in the fluid. Resonant waves result when pressure waves echo off of the transducing means and reverberate through the apparatus. These waves return to the patient and back to the transducing means. On their return to the transducing means the resonant waves are measured as if they represent blood pressure. This distorts the wave form presented on the monitoring device and degrades the accuracy of the system.
The present invention damps these resonant waves by variably restricting flow of the waves. Preferably an infusion device continually adds saline solution to keep the apparatus clear of blood. A variable restrictor means is connected in the apparatus, preferably between the infusion device and the pressure-transducing means. In a preferred embodiment, control of flow through the body of a variable restrictor is accomplished by compressing a deformable ring which controls the effective size of the central orifice of the ring.
Another preferred embodiment includes a valve in which a valve needle is moved in relation to a valve seat, regulating and controlling the pressure wave. In this form of the invention as shown, the valve allows pressure wave transference and flow in a generally direct path. A valve seat in a passage in a valve body is shaped like a conical frustrum. The seat sits at an acute angle to the passage. A valve needle opening enters the valve body at an angle so that it is aligned with the seat. The valve needle has a face which is shaped to conform to and seal against the seat, regulating and controlling the movement of pressure waves through the fluid in the passage.
The apparatus of the present invention can be tuned by an operator to achieve a more accurate blood pressure reading, eliminating the resonant waves.

A first form of apparatus for measuring blood pressure 10 as seen in FIG. 1 includes a catheter 12 adapted to be inserted into a blood vessel of a patient whose blood pressure is to be monitored. The catheter can be of any usual or preferred design and construction. Attached and open to the catheter 12 is a conduit or hollow flexible plastic tubing 14. Conduit 14 and catheter 12 are filled with an intermediate pressure transmitting fluid 16, which is usually a physiologic saline solution. Pressure changes in the blood are transmitted through this fluid which is in constant contact with the blood. A stopcock 20 is connected in the conduit 14 so that the catheter may be closed off from the rest of the apparatus. These parts are sterile and disposable to satisfy hospital standards.
If blood is allowed to persist in catheter 12, it can clot and block the apparatus. Therefore, a constant flow of intermediate fluid 16 must be maintained through the apparatus. Connected to hollow tubing 14 is an infusion device 30. Such devices are well known in the art. Infusion device 30 can be of any usual or preferred design or construction. For example, a Pharmaseal brand continuous flush device may be used.
An infusion passage 31 is provided in infusion device 30 for flow of fluid 16 into catheter 12 and the body of the patient. An infusion tube 32 leads to a fluid reservoir or bag 33 containing a reservoir of pressure transmitting fluid 16. Infusion device 30 slowly adds this intermediate fluid 16 to conduit 14. This slow flow isolates the fluid reservoir from the measuring apparatus 10 so that it does not affect pressure readings. This flow moves through conduit 14 and catheter 12, keeping them clear of blood. Inside infusion device 30 has a fast flush valve 34. A snap handle 36 is attached to the fast flush valve 34. Valve 34 and handle 36 are made of soft resilient material, like rubber, for instance.
Before catheter 12 is inserted in the blood vessel of the patient, the conduit 14 and catheter 12 are cleared of air by pulling on handle 36 and releasing it. This opens valve 34 and allows a quick rush of fluid 16 through the conduit and catheter. This fills the system with fluid and eliminates air bubbles which could harm or kill the patient if allowed in the bloodstream.
A variable restrictor means 40 constructed according to the present invention is open to the infusion passage 31 of the infusion device 30 on the opposite end of infusion passage from the catheter 12. The connection between the infusion passage 31 and variable restrictor means 40 is a continuation of conduit 14.
In the first form of the invention as seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the variable restrictor means 40 is constituted as a needle valve 42 which comprises a valve body 44, valve needle guide 46 and a valve needle 48. Needle valve 42 is adjustable to control movement of pressure waves in the fluid. Because variable restrictor means 40 (needle valve 42) is preferably not between infusion device 30 and the patient, it does not interfere with the flow of fluid needed to keep the apparatus clear of blood. A continuous, steady, and slow flow from infusion device 30 will not affect the damping or measurement procedures.
Next in the sequence away from the patient is a transducer dome 60 which is filled with intermediate fluid 16, as is the rest of the disposable portion of the apparatus. Transducer dome 60 defines a dome-shaped chamber 61 with a pressure transmitting diaphragm 62 against which pressure in fluid 16 acts. Conduit 14, infusion passage 31, variable restrictor means 40, and chamber 61 together form a duct 63 which is filled with fluid 16 for transmitting pressure waves from the blood vessel to diaphragm 62. Attached to transducer dome 60 is physiologic pressure transducer 64. Transducer 64 contacts pressure transmitting diaphragm 62. Variations in pressure against pressure transmitting diaphragm 62 are received by transducer 64 and changed to electrical signals for display. Transducer 64 can be of any usual or preferred construction. A variety of such transducers are well known in the art. For example, a Statham brand transducer employs wire strain gauge. Pressure acting on the transducer deforms a wire. This varies the electrical resistance of the wire. The change in resistance is then displayed on a monitor as an indicator of blood pressure. Solid state models can also be used.
Transducers 64 are relatively expensive devices and are reused. Everything else in the apparatus is made of disposable materials such as plastic, so that fresh sterile apparatus is used for each patient. Pressure transmitting diaphragm 62 isolates the sterile fluid 16 and the disposable parts of apparatus 10 from the reusable transducer 64. Transducer 64 is electrically connected to a monitor 65, which is shown schematically in FIG. 1. Monitor 65 displays the blood pressure wave forms which represent blood pressure plotted against time.
Any air bubbles in the measuring apparatus will distort the blood pressure reading, so they must be eliminated prior to insertion of the catheter in a patient's blood vessel. Attached to transducer dome 60 and open to chamber 61 is a relief valve 66. To clear air bubbles out of the variable restrictor means 40 and the transducer dome 60, stopcock 20 is shut to isolate the portion of the apparatus 10 on the transducer side of stopcock 20 away from the catheter. Relief valve 66 is opened. Snap handle 36 is pulled and released allowing a surge of fluid 16 to flow through infusion device 30, through the variable restrictor means 40, through transducer dome 60 and out relief valve 66. This flow is continued until a bubble-free intermediate fluid 16 throughout duct 63 is assured.
The apparatus 10 operates by transmitting pressure waves representative of the pressure in the catheterized blood vessle through fluid 16 in duct 63. The pressure waves act against pressure transmitting diaphragm 62 and are sensed by transducer 64. Transducer 64 converts the physical forces of the pressure waves to electronic signals which are displayed as wave forms on the monitor 65. The pressure due to the constant slow flow of fluid 16 added by infusion device 30 is negligible.
FIG. 2 shows needle valve 42 and the detail of a Luer connector. These or similar connectors can be used to interconnect the various elements of the apparatus. Male end 70 of a Luer connector on the needle valve 42 is inserted into a female end of the infusion device 30 (not shown). The female end of the infusion device is identical to female end 72 of the needle valve 42. Each female end 72 includes a flange 74. A housing 76 around male end 70 has internal threads 78. After male end 70 is inserted into female end 72, the apparatus is rotated clockwise so that the flange of the female end of the infusion device corresponding to flange 74 engages threads 78, locking the male end against the female end. In some embodiments of Luer connectors, housing 76 is free to rotate on the male end 70. This allows locking of the male and female ends without requiring that the entire apparatus to which the Luer connector is attached be rotated.
Passing longitudinally through the body 44 of needle valve 42 is generally straight passage 80, unlike medical valves in the prior art which employ passages including sharp angles. A sharp change in direction in the line of pressure wave transmission may distort pressure readings, make flushing difficult and trap air bubbles. In contrast, this valve 42 allows the direct, in-line, transmission of the fluid pressure wave from passage 31 of infusion device 30 to diaphragm 62 through intermediate fluid 16. It will be noted that the passage through the ends 70 and 72 are aligned with each other. This design also allows the valve body 44, including valve needle guide 46, to be injection molded in plastic in one piece. This greatly reduces cost of production and the chance of leakage at a connection or weld.
Located in passage 80 of valve 42 on an acute angle to the axis of passage 80 is an elongated, conical valve seat 82, which provides an orifice 83 through which pressure waves pass. The valve needle guide 46 extends away from body 44 of valve 42 at the same angle to body 44 as the valve seat 82 extends away from passage 80.
Vavle needle 48 extends into a valve needle opening 84 through valve needle guide 46. Internal threads 86 on valve needle opening 84 mate with external threads 88 on valve needle 48. As valve needle 48 is rotated clockwise it is moved by threads 88 and 86 into valve needle opening 84. A conical valve needle face 90 of valve needle 48 mates with conical valve seat 82 as needle 48 moves toward seat 82. This controls and restricts the passing of the pressure waves in fluid 16 through orifice 83 in valve seat 82. Since the face 90 of valve needle 48 is a conical frustum, the effective area of orifice 83 is enlarged as face 90 moves away from valve seat 82.
In FIG. 3, the oval cross sectional shape of valve seat 82 indicates that the valve seat extends away from the passage 80 at an angle.
An alternate embodiment of variable restrictor means 40 useful in connection with a second form of the invention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. In this embodiment, a restrictor valve 100 controls passing of the pressure waves in intermediate fluid 16 from the infusion passage 31 to diaphragm 62 by controlling the size of a central opening or orifice 112 through an O-ring 102. O-ring 102 is made of a compressable deformable material such as rubber. Restrictor valve 100 includes a valve body 104 and a valve element 106. Valve element 106 has external threads 108 which engage internal threads 110 in the valve body 104. Valve body 104 has a basin-shaped valve seat 107 which receiveds O-ring 102. As element 106 is rotated clockwise, O-ring 102 is squeezed against valve seat 107. The central opening or orifice 112 of O-ring 102 becomes progressively smaller as the O-ring is squeezed between valve element 106 and valve seat 107. Element 106 has a passage 114 therethrough which aligns with a passage 116 through body 104 to transmit pressure waves carried by pressure transmitting fluid 16.
Luer fittings are used to connect restrictor valve 100 into the rest of the apparatus 10. As shown, valve elemtn 106 has a female Luer fitting 118 and valve body 104 has a male Luer fitting 120, for connection into conduit 14 to form part of duct 63.
Each form of variable restrictor means 40 is delivered in a sealed sterile package, as are other disposable parts in blood pressure measuring apparatus 10. As shown, the other components are standard hospital items.
The variable restrictor means 40 of either form of the invention is attached in the pressure line of conduit 14 by Luer fittings, in relative position as shown in FIG. 1. Air is purged from all components as discussed above. The catheter is then inserted in the blood vessel. The transducer means 64 is activated to show pressure waves on the monitor. The variable restrictor means 40 must then be adjusted. This is done by executing a square wave or "snap" test. FIGS. 6 through 8 are examples of wave-forms portrayed on display monitor 65. The display is in the form of a graph, with the vertical axis representing amplitude of the pressure waves and the horizontal axis representing time. In FIG. 6, the peaks 134 of the wave forms represent the systolic blood pressure and the valleys 136 represent diastolic blood pressure. Dotted line 132 represents an arbitrary amplitude of the systolic blood pressure of a typical patient. The wave forms must be analyzed by a skilled operator who tunes the system. This interpretation is a somewhat subjective evaluation of the curves well known in the art. Similar wave form evaluations are done in the use of other types of unrelated damping devices. For instance, the instructions for the Accunamic brand damping device, Cat. No. ACM-01 of the Sorenson Research Company employ such analysis.
The fast flush valve 34 of infusion device 30 is actuated by pulling snap handle 36 and holding it out for a second. This injects a surge of fluid in the apparatus which increases pressure and drives the monitor trace to the top of the monitor scope as shown by the flat top or square line 130 in FIGS. 6 through 8. Snap handle 36 is then released with a "snap". Fast flush valve 34 closes with a "snap", and the pressure drops and settles to wave form, as shown in FIG. 6, for example. The systolic peaks are recorded at the correct vertical position along line 132 because FIG. 6 represents the display on a monitor of a properly damped blood pressure measuring apparatus.
FIG. 7 shows a poor square wave test. The system here is underdamped. The trace on the monitor overshoots the proper blood pressure wave form parameter 132 and resonates several times before showing a steady wave. Here, systolic peaks 138 exceed the proper magnitude indicated by dotted line 132. This is because resonant waves are added to blood pressure waves to compose a pressure reading higher than true blood pressure. This is corrected by adjusting the variable restrictor means to restrict movement of pressure waves.
For instance, in the first form of the invention as illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3, valve needle 48 is turned clockwise to insert face 90 further into valve seat 82. This reduces the effective size of orifice 83, which reduces and damps the resonant waves.
The restrictor valve 100 in the second form of the invention is tightened by turning valve element 106 clockwise, which reduces the effective area of central opening 112 of O-ring 102.
An overdamped system is shown in FIG. 8. The trace shows a sluggish square wave test with poor wave form reproduction. Systolic peaks 140 of FIG. 8 never reach the true blood pressure reading, indicated by line 132. This could be caused by an improperly adjusted variable restrictor means which is too restrictive, or by air bubbles, blood, or a kink in the monitoring line. The system should be checked to make sure that air and blood are flushed out of the system. If the overdamped square wave test pattern still shows, the variable restrictor means should be loosened by turning valve needle 48 (first form) or valve element 106 (second form) counterclockwise to allow less restriction to the pressure wave.
The ideal square wave test should result in a wave form which looks like FIG. 6. As in the prior art, the trained operator recognizes that the systolic peaks 134 are of the proper height and that the wave leading to valleys 136 is of the proper shape.
Either of the variable restrictor means 40 can be adjusted to properly damp the blood pressure measuring apparatus 10, no matter what combination of catheter, tubing, stopcocks, infusion device, transducer dome or transducer is used. Different transducers 64 have different response, but there is no need to identically match all of the apparatus in the system. One need merely adjust the variable restrictor means 40 to show a proper square wave test. This apparatus allows the operator to damp accurately in-line with the operating system. The disadvantages of dealing with a parallel damping device are avoided. The system also allows the catheter to be continually flushed out with the intermediate pressure transmitting fluid without interference from the damping device.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Workers skilled in the art will also recognize that embodiments of the invention may be incorporated as an integral part of other components in the monitoring system such as the infusion device, transducer dome, or stop cock.

I like pyrotechnic art, especially burning leather. I enjoy it as an escape to another medium to try. It requires a lot of practice, and touch to use the burning tool correctly. I am still developing the technique for myself. slow going so far, but it starts with a real good burning pen and solid nibs I am told.

Through his paintings Costa Dvorezky goes beyond the obvious to uncover the symbolism of the human aspect of daily life. His images are a study of the human reality presented in a simplistic and surreal existence. The human form is the focus. Intricate details and lines of the human body are juxtaposed against a stark background revealing the artist's conviction of the important role of man and woman's existence. Through his artwork, Costa invites the observer to not only understand the scope of the actual image, but to also experience the reality of the other and comprehend the feelings that this experience provokes.

Richard C.wrote a review of Burton Gig Bag on June 15, 2009
Burton Gig Bag
Great bag for your snowboard to pack everything needed for a day of fun on the mountain.
I purchased the 156 for my 154 snowboard and there seems to be plenty of room to spare. Great buy and price.
Highly recommended for others for storage of board in the off season, travel, and carrying.

He also was responsible for the change from a standard "F" hole to a simulated "F" hole. This eliminated feedback in large auditoriums.
|Duane Eddy
In 1962, at Chet's suggestion the "F" holes were simulated as a further measure to prevent feedback. However the guitar was hollow.
This was standard on Gretsch long before after market locking strap buttons were offered.
The gold-plated Grover tuners have button style pegs. As with the single cutaway, this guitar features a Bigsby tailpiece with a V shape cut-out. This one feature the standard movable handle. The guitar has a bound body, neck and headstock. The scale is 24.6 inches and the body depth is 2 inches.
The "F" holes are real. This comes with a walnut stain or a black finish. I have seen red models in some stores. Although this guitar is not as nice as a Country Gentleman, bear in mind the real deal sells for $3400 to $3600, it has a street price of around $850-900 USD.

Advice on Bethnal Green, Shoreditch area London
Report Abuse
It's where we would like to live
This area is trendy, hipster, lots of cocktail bars in random places like railway arches...but it is pretty gritty in some places, down and out and grungy.
Do you have the postal code of the property?
It could be great, could be terrible depending on the exact location.
Report Abuse
We'd need more detailed info re the addresses.
the 'Chelsea area' is very large and some parts are not served at all by the tube while others are quite convenient.
And Bethnal Green/Shoreditch if close to Spitalfields wouldn't be too bad -- or it could be very far east and not very convenient.
Report Abuse
was posting the same time as jamikins -- yep -- could be fine or truly terrible
Report Abuse
Thanks jamikins and janisj I will get exact address as soon as I can.
Report Abuse
when I used to work in London nearly 20 years ago you couldn't have paid me to stay in that area but I gather that things have changed.
PS - for the avoidance of doubt, I mean Shoreditch, not Chelsea.
Report Abuse
Annhig - we stepped off the tube in Mile End in 2007 when we went to visit friends and were terrified. Now we can't afford to live there!
Report Abuse
"when I used to work in London nearly 20 years ago you couldn't have paid me to stay in that area"
In 1996? Come off it. You were clearly overpaid if you could have afforded to be snooty about Shoreditch even then.
1996 was precisely when we were deciding where to move to. The Cotswolds won: because we could afford the Cotswolds, but couldn't afford Shoreditch.
Report Abuse
Funny how times change annhig!!
I would imagine the Cotswolds would be much more desirable than Shoreditch then and now flanner, but who knew!
Report Abuse
Horses for courses. Who would you rather risk rubbing shoulders with, Nathan Barley or David Cameron?
Not that that helps the OP, of course....
Report Abuse
In 1996? Come off it. You were clearly overpaid if you could have afforded to be snooty about Shoreditch even then.>>
the only bit I knew was round Shoreditch County Court which was not desirable area, believe me. As to being over or underpaid, you live in the Cotswolds, Flanner.
I rest my case.
Report Abuse
Still waiting on exact location!! Will hopefully have it soon and post I am really looking forward to getting feedback on the neighborhood. Thanks again to everyone.
Report Abuse
Also tell us the location of the Chelsea property
Why not post the links and we can probably figure out where they are . . .
Report Abuse
When I was planning our recent UK/London trip, it became obvious that Shoreditch was a very hip and happening area. If I were younger I would have wanted to stay there.
But I'm old. I don't drink so bars and clubs and happening restaurants with even cooler bars weren't calling my name.
We had a very nice Airbnb in Knightsbridge, which was a horse of a completely different color (or colour).
Report Abuse
We lived in London in 1996 and Shoreditch was far from a desirable area to live. Notting Hill was becoming more popular then, but still quite seedy in places.
Report Abuse
I'm with flanner on this one, Shoreditch was hugely desirable in 1996. I suppose it depends on what you like though. I was living in Marylebone for a few years during this time (thank goodness for subsidised halls of residence) and would have happily moved Shoreditch.
At that time it was genuinely interesting, with lots of artists and creatives in the area rubbing shoulders with the mainly working class locals who hadn't yet been completely priced out.
I would regularly make the trip out east to go drinking or clubbing (the legendary Blue Note or 333 anyone?) rather than stay in the blander, centre of town.
Shoreditch had already jumped the shark by the early 2000's (and gave rise to the brilliant Shoreditch Twat fanzine around this time) and now 16 years later, it's safely ensconced in guidebooks as a "trendy" area despite the fact that it's about as edgy as Guildford.
It would be a good place to stay for a short visit and I'd still pick it over Chelsea, even though on the weekends it's populated by the bridge and tunnel crowd all wearing the same thing from Urban Outfitters. Still preferable to the boat shoe and red trouser mob though...
Report Abuse
Just replying again to let you know that Fodors turned my mention of a certain clothing shop in my previous comment to a hyperlink automatically and it has nothing to do with me!
Report Abuse
Unfortunately the Chelsea and Shoreditch/Bethnal Green Airbnb are not available now.
So DD is continuing to search.
Thanks so much to everyone. Love hearing about the various neighborhoods from locals.
Report Abuse
But if you'd like help evaluating options, try to get a postcode or map reference. How the agents/landlords describe them can have a very elastic relationship to what people who live there would call them.
Report Abuse
I was in the area in 2002 to view the BodyWorlds exhibit at the Truman Brewery. It appeared gentrification was well under way. That said, I do believe I may have been approached by a prostitute. Either that or the young female just couldn't stay away from me.

i'm sure that was the aspect that appealed so much to Flanner, Jay_G.

sorry that your DD's choices have gone, nanabee.

Thanks ann. She has 2 more options, i emailed her asking for addresses but they are in norway now so the time difference makes communication harder. Hope to hear back soon.
JayG we are a family of two adult parents, a senior, and two young children, so trendy and the bar scene is for another lifetime im afraid.

Adrien's Story Trailer (1980)
14 January 1980
This effective, straightforward story about the birth and on-going life of a young man at the beginning of the 20th century reflects the political and social history of his time. Adrien (child, Bertrand Sautereau, adult, Serge Dominque) was born in a field to a mother who had lived as a shepherdess. She died when he was born. As he grows up under harsh treatment by his grandfather, World War I and labor unrest simmer and explode in the background. Finally rebelling against his grandfather, Adrien runs away and stays with another family for awhile. But the lure of finding his place in the world continues. He gets a job and eventually falls in love, though nothing in his life comes along easily and some of the biases he experiences have more than social nuances as Europe simmers again on the way to World War II.

On the Wii will we be able to surf the net, visit sites etc..?
yes, its go built in opera browser
i even read somewhere it supports java
would like that
lol, u could play some online games.
Wonder if we'll be able to customize the appearance of Wii's start-up-menu, like you can with the PSP you can download an image and make it your background?
Well since they're going to make a game maker on it it will probably have an image creator of some sort.
To get an image and download it would take some internet type thing which this thread is about so....maybe. Possibly a G00gle rip off?
There's no question there will be pre-set backrounds but hopefully we will be able to make/download our own
Well I am getting even more amped up over the Wii now!
Does any one think it would be possible to visit sites like you tube and watch videos...?
No one's sure as of yet(that I know of)Nintendo hasn't released alot of info about this setting of the wii, i'm reading up on it as we type to see if I can come up w/ something interesting...here we go from nintendo themselves:
That explains a little.
also I understand that the Wii plays dvd format so theoretily you could download something to play dvds on it couldn't you?
what about wifi? maybe its not only form playing games...
woah! surf the internet aswell! never knew that! i can image posting a post on this site on my wii =). ohhhhh so exciting!

my name is Juri, 25 years old, from Germany.
I just started my semester abroad here in Sydney and still looking for a nice room in a flat to share with some great people.
I am studying Marketing and International Business and doing my Master at the UTS at moment. I decided to do this semester in Australia as I have lived here before for a while and really liked it! As I am a student I have a lot of flat-experience. I am an outgoing and really easy-going person who is always down for something to do! I love to surf and do all kinds of other sports, go on hikes or just enjoy the nature. Moreover I love to travel, experience new cultures and meet new people.
If you're interested let me know!

I've said it before and I'll say it again – Slightly Stoopid is where it's at! These guys keep impressing me a little more with every track that I hear from their upcoming record, Meanwhile, Back at the Lab….
We are very excited to premiere Kate Lynne Logan's latest video, "Roosey Roads"! Please enjoy below!

Though this video is nearly a year old, I couldn't hold myself back from sharing it with you just in case you haven't had the opportunity to enjoy Sondre Lerche's upbeat, diverse musical talent. If his voice sounds familiar, that's because he's the musical mastermind who provided the swooning melodies that supported Dan Burns' life in Dan In Real Life. I hope you love him as much as I do!

Drawing on hundreds of hours of face-to-face interviews, Carlo reveals the story of Richard "The Ice Man" Kuklinski, who became one of the most notorious and sadistic professional assassins in American history, working for such criminals as Sammy "The Bull" Gravano and John Gotti. Unabridged. 14 CDs.
Carlo (The Night Stalker) has written another captivating true-crime book. This one tells the spine-chilling story of Richard Kuklinski, a.k.a. "the Ice Man" because he liked to freeze his victims to throw off forensic investigators. Born into an abusive family, Kuklinski claimed to have killed for the first time at age 14. After a run-in with the Gambino family, he became a hit man for the mob, managing to live the double life of a professional assassin and devoted family man. The author spent over 200 hours interviewing the incarcerated Kuklinski and his family. If one is to believe Kuklinski, he killed upward of 200 individuals, including Jimmy Hoffa, Carmine Galante, and Roy DeMeo. It was only through the diligent work of New Jersey police officer Pat Kane, who spent six years building a case against Kuklinski, that the killing spree ended. This work is written like a novel; readers will become so engrossed in the details that they'll forget that this is a true story. Highly recommended for readers of true crime; perhaps the finished version of this book will provide the update that Kuklinski died on March 5, 2006, at age 70 of natural causes.

They have always given me a choice between buying expensive factory pars or less expensive third party parts. They take the time to listen to my wife imitate motro noises and her ideas of problem location. Repair bills are always less than competive bids. I always feel that I'm getting treated like royalty. Definitly the place to have a car repaired. I live 25 miles from Marv's and have never felt that anyone else should do the work, just to save time. My daughter had her car towed to Marv's, she did not want anyone else working on the car. One terrific place.
Sep 28, 2005
Brothers Mark and Mike Witt (owners) overwhelmed me with courtesy and immediate attention when I had an enroute problem (Minnesota to Ohio) at midday in their community. They interrupted their other work of the moment to rescue me, while my wife did needlepoint work in their tidy and clean lounge area. On the spot, they fixed my problem, avoiding our staying overnight in their community while a part would be delivered from Jaguar in Minneapolis (or elsewhere). For this, they charged less than thirty-five dollars total, and no more than twenty for labor. In addition to fine work which has not needed correction (several months have passed), they saved me a lodging fee and at least half a day of extended travel. Although both conferred about the project, perhaps Mike deserves a bit of an edge of appreciation. And, while there, I gained the impression that this was their usual style. Their slogan, "Complete Auto Care Foreign and Domestic". They have my hearty recommendation! John Woodhall

Who needs Tom & Ray when you can have Mark and Mike? The Witt brothers are the best mechanics I've ever worked with, on every measure. Honest, smart, punctual, pleasant, and reasonably priced.
Feb 03, 2011
Locally owned / operated family team. Consistently honest service. I had a Ford truck dealer tell me rear-end noise would require $850 worth of differential work, but Witts replaced the gear lube for $65 (problem is gone). Also, test-drove, listened to strange vibrations when we were loaded and headed out of town for the Holidays - no problem, no charge.

These guys have been in business for 40 years. They are a very fair priced and dependable shop. When I had my car towed here for engine work, the tow truck driver said most of his tows to mechanics are to Witt Brothers.
Jan 19, 2014
HONEST AS THE DAY IS LONG I have known the Witt family for 45+ years. You will not find more honest or better mechanics than Mike and Mark. Those boys grew up in that shop with their father Marv who set the example for them of hard, honest work. I'll tell you just a few examples: In 1999, I had purchased a brand new car. Over the course of 6 years and 150,000 miles it had been in their shop for 15 repairs. Not routine service mind you - but REPAIRS which totaled over $6,700! It got to the point that they grew tired of fixing it. Mike finally told me "We don't tell everyone this, but you need to sell that car and go a buy a model from one of these three brands. I don't care which model, just make sure it's from one of these three brands. That advice from Mike has save me and cost them a lot of money. I still have that car they suggested I purchase. Today it has 190,000 plus miles and has only required one repair, which was front wheel bearings that Mike said finally failed (@ 149,000 miles) from hitting MN potholes. When the new car needed its first set of tires (around 50,000 miles or so), I admit I had a weak point and visited a national tire chain. They replaced the tires but presented me a list of recommended preventive maintenance which totaled $1,400. That seemed a bit excessive so my next stop with that list was the Witt Brothers shop. Mike reminded me that they also sell tires too, but looked at the list and said "tell you what, bring the car back when it hits 100,000 miles and we'll do preventative maintenance and you'll probably need another set of tires". At the car's 100,000 mile anniversary (isn't it great watching the odometer change to 100,000) it left their shop with a new set of tires and the preventative maintenance completed for a lot less than $1,400 – like ½ that. A year or so after that, my daughter was going to drive the car from Minnesota to Florida for a 6 week rotation as part of her college course. I took the car into Mike and said "I just want you to pretend it's your daughter driving this car to Florida and back". He had no dollar limit, he was free to do with that car what he felt it needed to be done for my daughter's safety. The next day I picked up the car and to prepare myself before I was presented the bill, I had to ask what they had done to it. Mike said, "all we did was change the oil/filter and put a new battery in, we felt our 6 year old battery wouldn't survive the Florida heat". He didn't want to see a young girl driving a car with Minnesota plates needing a tow and a new battery because he knew that scenario could be ripe for her being taken advantage of. Another example – I had a pick-up truck that failed to start one morning. Ran the night before but would only spin over the next morning. Called Witt Bros and Mark answered, I asked Mark which towing company I should use to tow my truck to their shop. Mark asked what was up with the truck, he said "take a rubber mallet and pound on the gas tank and try it again". Truck started right up, I drove it down to their shop where Mark explained that the gas pump may have a bad spot on it and pounding on the tank was enough to move it off that bad spot so it would start. Mark said that they could drop the gas tank and replace the pump, which would be several hundred dollars, But he went on to say try this first - get a can of Sea-Foam ($8), pour it into the gas tank and that will help lubricate the gas pump, but be sure to carry that mallet with you. Well, several years have gone by, the truck still starts and I haven't needed to use the mallet…. Again, advice that saved me and cost them.

Collaborative Cohort Fellow
Department of Chemistry
Rapid-scanning transient absorption of heterogenous micro-environments
Flourescence based microscopy has proven to be a powerful tool for observing the localization of biological species.
However, Tessa Calhoun says it is imperative that we extend these studies to investigate the effect of the local, heterogeneous environment.Transient absorption microscopy (TAM) uses multiple, ultrafast laser pulses to measure the properties and dynamics of a molecule's excited states, which are susceptible to the electron density of its immediate chemical surroundings.
Calhoun's Collaborative Cohort project focuses on advancing TAM instrumentation with a supercontinuum probe, pulse shaping techniques, and rapid scanning capabilities to monitor the location and ultrafast dynamics of molecules as they interact with the membranes of living cells.
Calhoun's work with microscopy has also led to her participation in a pilot project supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Biological Environmental Research. In a collaboration with ORNL scientists and academics from across the country, her project seeks to develop an adaptive approach to imaging, which will serve as a framework for designing and implementing bioimaging experiments for an array of processes.

LoCash Singer Chris Lucas and Wife Welcome Baby Girl
LoCash singer Chris Lucas and his wife Kaitlyn have welcomed their third child. Violet Reid Lucas was born on Sunday (Sept. 3).
LoCash singer Chris Lucas and his wife Kaitlyn have welcomed their third child. Violet Reid Lucas was born on Sunday (Sept. 3).
If you hadn't noticed the country music baby boom before, you couldn't miss it at the 2017 CMT Music Awards on June 7. Four wives of country men walked, sporting varying sized bumps.
Another baby is on the way for LoCash's Chris Lucas. The singer tells Taste of Country their newest miracle will arrive on September 1 or September 3.
LoCash were the latest victims in an Albany radio station's ongoing Worst Interview Ever video series.
LoCash singer Preston Brust fleeced his partner Chris Lucas into recording one song on the duo's new The Fighters album.
LoCash have become one of country music's most inspiring underdog stories with their recent success, but it didn't come easy — or fast.
LoCash are set to release their first full-length album this summer, titled The Fighters.
Congratulations are in order for LoCash's Chris Lucas as he and his wife, Kaitlyn, welcomed their second child on Monday (March 21).
2015 Country Jam is officially rolling — after a strong Day 1, it's safe to say this country party is rockin'. With acts like Sasha McVeigh, Parmalee, the Band Perry and more on Thursday (June 18), there were many memorable, hilarious, talent-filled and musically astounding moments. But there were a handful that will be etched in the minds of fans for years to come.
Heavy rain showers didn't stop country music fans who'd come from all over to see Willie Nelson on Thursday night. Thousands packed Hunter Mountain in New York for the inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival. Ponchos, umbrellas, cold beverages and great country music kept fans in good spirits while the LoCash Cowboys, Parmalee and Nelson took the stage.
George Strait moves on with his new single, 'Drinkin' Man', on the KICKS 105 Country Clash. He defeated Lee Brice and his latest, 'Hard To Love', in yesterday's battle.
Now, here's something a bit different for ya...take a listen to the new song from the LoCash Cowboys, it's called 'C.O.U.N.T.R.Y.', and it's today's challenger on the Clash.

'Hot babe doesnt care if anyone is watching' ... which is why its so dull Good point about the shower, she spent more time drying herself, although seeing as her towel was more of a flannel she probably didnt want to get wet and she clearly ran out of shower gel too. The end could have been good but even she looked bored when she was feeling herself
Lovely swollen nips at the end...BUT...not much of a shower was it. If she thinks thats good hygene, well....she needs a few basic showering lessons in my book, don't care what she looks like

Best knife I own
Jeremy M.
I own a couple knives more expensive than this, but this one is the best quality one that I own. The blade is amazing and of a really great steel. The grind is perfection and the handle and 3D clip/dress side of titanium is unparalleled at the price this was. Action/alignment is also perfect.

I am joning these 2 tables with [Product Code] to [Product No] in a query. Question is : how can I retrieve those [Product Code] which is not equeal to [Product No]?
I believe I need to use a SQL to relate it but how is it? Is it Not equal To or <>, I had tried both but fails....
Please teach.

Re: Not equal to
This is a common problem in database development.
You will have to do a subquery within a query:
SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE ProductCode NOT IN
(SELECT ProductCode FROM Table1 JOIN Table2 ON Table1.ProductCode=Table2.ProductNo)
Let me know if this helps you.In abundance of water only the fool is thirsty. Bob Marley.

For instance, you could be in Michigan.
Recently, a Benton Harbor, Mich., middle school band was ordered not to perform the song "Louie Louie" at the annual Grand Floral Parade. Seems Superintendent Paula Dawning thought the song's allegedly racy lyrics were too explosive for the Blossomtime Festival.
Funny thing, the band was going to play an instrumental version of the song. And even in Michigan, instrumental means no lyrics.
Now this is not the first time "The Man" targeted Richard Berry's 1956 tune. Recorded hundreds of times, the "Louie Louie" version most hear in their heads was a near chart-topper for the Kingsmen in 1963. Not only has it sold roughly a zillion copies over the years, but even J. Edgar Hoover hiked up his skirt long enough to spearhead a two-year FBI investigation into the song's lyrics.
Jason Winders
Executive Editor
more Winders columns
Eventually, the feds found the song to be obscenity-free and famously declared its lyrics "unintelligible at any speed," a phrase you might recognize as Carl Jordan's campaign slogan last year.
In the end, the superintendent relented and the sounds of "Louie Louie" filled the Grand Floral Parade. As of this writing, no additional teen deviance had been reported as a result of the song's performance.
Nice to know Benton Harbor, Mich. has officially run out of things to worry about as a community.
A similar sentiment seems to be settling in here after the 24/7 smoking ban again lit a fire under certain folks. And I think they all decided to call me last week.
Outside of making known their opinion on the full ban, most callers expressed bewilderment at this being one of the biggest issues we face as a community. They realize we don't have "Louie Louie"-level problems here, but still think a number of items should take priority over a smoking ban.
Now, I think we've ridden the pros and cons of this dead horse for far too long, so let's not debate the merits of this case again.
Look, you can make sound, reasonable arguments about banning indoor smoking. But when commissioners look to extend their sphere of influence out the door, across the street and into the great wilds of the world, then they've overstepped their bounds.
Know when to say when, people.
Like many of you, I've been searching for a reason as to why our city's leadership needs constantly to tinker.
Tinker with smoking. Tinker with downtown sidewalks. Tinker with your home. Tinker with small businesses.
And even more frustrating to many, myself included, they do all this without an expressed end game.
I mean just when you think the county has run out of laws, up springs a new one, usually with little or ill-conceived ideas about how to enforce it. Honestly, the fact you would ever think about using the 911 system to rat out smokers - which our leadership discussed - means you are completely devoid of reason.
Maybe, as one caller suggested, we can chalk it up to "tablet envy."
Don't worry, I didn't know what that meant, either.
His point was that all the great laws have been taken.
Just look at the Old Testament's Big Ten - don't kill or steal, be good to mom and dad, respect your neighbors and their stuff, etc. Pretty sound. Now I don't think we necessarily need to go around picking fights by hanging them in public courthouses, but still a top-shelf Top 10.
I guess in my caller's mind, lawmaking peaked when Moses stepped down off Mount Sinai. And modern statesmen, in order to be statesmanlike and seem like they are doing something, are stuck with the leftovers.
Instead of the Big Laws, they are forced to legislate against annoyances and irritations in order to leave their mark.
Well, I don't know if I would go quite that far. But I can safely say our mayor and commission's constant obsessions with the minutia are not exactly political manna.
And each day they grow more "unintelligible at any speed" to me and many other folks.

WASHINGTON, Pa. June 21 2017
John Dingle, 67, is charged with indecent assault after police say he groped a security guard, who was driving a shuttle bus, at The Meadows Racetrack and Casino early Sunday.
"I'm sorry. It's not me," Dingle said. "I have a lot to explain to my wife and my family, kinda bad on Father's Day."
Dingle said he had been drinking at the casino before he boarded the shuttle for a ride back to his RV, parked in the casino's back lot. According to court papers, Dingle grabbed the driver's breasts, tried to persuade her to join him in his RV, then pulled her toward him, before she was able to persuade him to get off the shuttle.
"I just want to get it all behind me and I feel so bad for her. I really do. I'm not that type of guy. I'm family man. I messed up," Dingle said.
Dingle said he was too drunk to remember what happened, but he vows to make changes.
"I'm gonna go get some help for alcohol, and I'm barring myself from the casino," Dingle said. "I'm definitely gonna try to make this up somehow in my life. (At) 67 years old, this shouldn't have happened to me."
Dingle is charged with indecent assault and public drunkenness. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 3.

Inox settles at 50.3% of Fame, Reliance in hot pursuit
MUMBAI: Inox Leisure has not managed to up its stake in Fame India through an open offer which it had to make after it acquired majority control in the multiplex chain as it had to compete against a more aggressive pricing from rival Reliance MediaWorks (RMW).
Inox managed to acquire only 1,075 shares from its open offer, which was announced last year for 8,231,759 shares, or 20.25 per cent stake in Fame India, at Rs 51 per share.
Inox holds 50.3 per cent of Fame India. The company had acquired 43.1 per cent stake from the Shroff family promoting group for Rs Rs 664.8 million. Later it acquired an additional 7.2 per cent through a block deal, executed at BSE , following which it made an open offer.
Anil Ambani-led RMW had countered Inox's pricing with an open offer for acquisition of 21.7 million Fame India shares, representing 53.38 per cent stake, at Rs 83 per share.
Inox announced the open offer closed today and said that as per the "provisions of Companies Act, 1956, Fame India has now become a subsidiary of Inox Leisure".
Inox currently has 38 operational properties, with 144 screens and a seating capacity of 40,140 in 25 cities across India.
Fame India, on the other hand, has 25 operational multiplexes with 95 screens and a seating capacity of 26,487 in 12 cities. Jointly, Inox controls the largest multiplex screen capacity in the country, the company said Friday.
Inox and Fame India director Deepak Asher said, "We are delighted to have completed this transaction and acquire control over Fame. This reiterates our core belief in the fundamentals and long-term prospects of the film exhibition business in India. We are now focused on seizing the attractive opportunities this transaction has created for us to increase top-line growth as well as achieving cost synergies, to enhance value for stakeholders of both companies."
The total holding of RMW in Fame India stands at 32 per cent following the completion of its open offer.
Shares of Inox closed Friday at Rs 64.95 on the BSE, dropping 7.81 per cent from the previous day's close. Fame saw a 9.83 per cent fall to Rs 78.9.
