You seemingly entirely misunderstand me. When I'm talking about the people being anti-intellectual, I'm not thinking of people like your friends Ben and Sarapeth who are so befuddled and stunned by incomprehensible tragedy that no verbal response is possible. Heck, I've been there myself. Some days, I'm still there. Instead, I'm talking about the people I've met in the white, wealthy churches where I grew up, people who were generally out of touch with sorrow and more interested in living in happy bubbles. These people would rely on the "just believe" excuse to avoid thinking about difficult issues, to maintain the simplicity and comfort of their existence, and in doing so, maintain the shallowness of their faith. Such has been the bulk of individuals I've met through my travels through the world of evangelicalism, and I'm not sure that kind of "just believe" response has much to do with the "leap of faith" idea suggested by Kierkegaard.
I'm jumping into the middle of the conversation here, but I just have to comment.
I find comments like this insulting, and what they suggest to me is that those who make them have never experienced the soul-crushing weight of unexplained and unexplainable tragedy, loss, and grief. It's okay. It will happen. All you have to do is live long enough. And perhaps I'm overly sensitive because I saw that holy terror last night.
FWIW, I love Kierkegaard.
It's based both in academic study and personal wrestling with the first two chapters of Genesis. I'll elaborate and respond to your points more fully later on.
When you say you think Shestov is "flat out wrong" about how man became mortal, is this based on your own personal reflection and understanding of the account in Genesis, or is it based on what one might call "received" doctrine?

Sickle Cell Disease: Aplastic CrisisSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
If a person with sickle cell disease is infected with parvovirus, the virus that causes fifth disease in children, an aplastic crisis may develop. Bone marrow suddenly stops producing red blood cells, which results in sudden and severe anemia. During this time, a person will often feel tired, have pale skin, and be short of breath.
Blood transfusions might be done to treat an aplastic crisis. After a few days, the bone marrow usually recovers on its own. And red blood cell production returns to its usual rate.1
Most aplastic crises occur in children. This condition only occurs once in any person.

Looks good. Have you or the guy you built it for used it yet? The firebox vent looks a little on the small side and I like to mount my chimney higher with a damper on top. But Id like to know if it works well were you mounted it. Tom37 has posted some great info on venting of BBQ and Smoker fireboxes. Your right it is a blast building BBQs.

Looks good.
Having the stack low like that creates a swirl inside the pit. They cook nice like that. I sometimes put false walls inside to do the same thing when actually mounting low doesn't work.
I do agree that the stack seems a bit small. Big dia with a damper gives more control.

|Great Deals at the Waitsfield VT Ski & Skate Sale
A few years ago I visited the Waitsfield VT Ski and Skate Sale because I had driven by it the previous couple of years and noticed a great number of cars parked there. Inside, I found an impressive amount of gear at tempting prices. And it was not only skis and skates despite the name. There were also many boots, snowboards, snowshoes, jackets, helmets, and pants. Much of the gear was adult size but there was also a lot of children's equipment. If you have a family to outfit, this event could be a big help to your budget.
The newest gear tends to go fast on Saturday, depending upon size and price. Sunday is the day for the best deals. Usually around 11:00 on Sunday, they start slashing prices to help move the gear out faster.
Waitsfield is in the Mad River Valley, home to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen ski areas. To say that the area is full of skiers is an apt description. Like most skiers anywhere, the people here have a lot of gear and they often buy new stuff to get the latest and best. I've noticed the same trait with golfers and fishermen. I'm one of them. I have enough fishing equipment to outfit about three people. I wish someone would hold a sale like this for fishing gear. On second thought, I would probably buy more stuff than I sold so I'm probably better off without it.
There are many sales like this around New England and this one is one of the oldest, being in existence for the past 29 years. The sale will be held at the Waitsfield Elementary School on Route 100 (scroll down the list on the left to find the Waitsfield school link at the bottom) Saturday and Sunday, November 15 and 16, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. There is no admission charge. Parking however, is a challenge. You will see people parked everywhere along the road and in nearby parking lots. Be prepared for a ten minute walk if you can't park close.
If you have stuff to sell, it should be checked in at the school on Friday from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. There is a 20% consignment fee. I don't know if they take gear on Saturday or Sunday too but you can use the contact information on the web page.
This event is about a ten minute drive from our inn. Since you will be bargain shopping, we'll help you save money by discounting our rooms ten percent. Call us at 800-800-7760 for information.

|Southern VT Travel Blog
About nine years ago, we traveled to Vermont and New Hampshire to look at inns for sale. One of our favorites was an inn in Brattleboro VT called 40 Putney Road, named after the address there. It had beautiful French architecture and a nice location. We ended up passing on it because we found our current VT bed and breakfast inn that was a better fit for us and made our numbers work better. Since that time, 40 Putney Road has changed hands a couple of times I think. The new owners, Tim and Amy, look like they are doing a great job with it - see especially the room photos on their website.
They also write a blog I found a couple of months ago just as we started heading into the big fall foliage rush. Now that the extra busy period is over, I am getting around to writing about the blog. It's called "InnBrattleboro" and I have found it to be an interesting source of information about the area of southern Vermont. They also write some about southern New Hampshire which is a very short drive across the Connecticut River from their Brattleboro VT location.
It's nice to find this blog because a couple of other southern Vermont blogs I was following ended up dormant and I took them off my links list in the right column. InnBrattleboro looks like it has been going since December last year so I have hope the writers will keep it at it. I will put a link to it under the Travel Friends heading on the right.
Tim and Amy don't write frequently: twice in October and twice in September (during the busy season, remember) but prior to that they were writing blog entries roughly four times a month. Some of the photo links are broken but the ones that do work just take you to a slightly larger version of the photo. Thanks to InnBrattleboro, I've learned about new places to visit down there and this blog will be the first place I will check the next time we plan a trip to southern VT.
Tim is also a website designer. His company, Loose Leaf Design, does some nice looking work.

|Killington: Nevermind
They skied and snow boarded at Killington for five days but now it has come to a halt due to the unseasonably warm weather we've been having. Even with a 30 inch base in some spots, you just can't keep going when daytime temperatures are nearly reaching the 60's and nighttime temps are in the 40's.
There was some unofficial skiing at other areas, even Mad River Glen which does not make snow. But, it turns out it was all just an amusing early season appetizer of what is to come.
Right now, Killington is aiming for a reopening on November 14. Next week's night time temps will be the key. To get current information, check Killington's conditions page on their website. The resort has spent $8.4 million in improvements this year and they are anxious to show them off.

|New York Times Article on Burlington VT
The New York Times Travel section has a feature called "36 hours in ___." A few days ago the Time published such an article about Burlington VT.
It's pretty well done and covers the upper downtown area around Church Street for the most part. This street is closed off from car traffic and paved with bricks to make it an inviting pedestrian plaza. We often recommend it to guests who want to visit Burlington. There are a good number of specialty shops, restaurants, and bars which makes it a lively daytime and night gathering place.
One area the Time's article does not feature is the great waterfront including the Burlington Boat House. The article does mention Burlington's "Stonehendge" park and the accompanying slide show also mentions the ECHO Museum at the waterfront so readers can find the rest of the waterfront on their own. Of course, it is not as inviting this time of year as it is during months of milder temperatures.
This article is a reprise of similar "36 hours" article the Times did about six years ago.
There is much more to see and do in Burlington and the surrounding area but if you really do have just a few hours, this guide is a good overview of some main highlights.

As you may have heard, Wikipedia's English language website is down until midnight tonight. The online encyclopedia is staging a 24-hour blackout in protest of anti-piracy legislation under consideration in Congress. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) are designed to restrict sales of pirated American products overseas. Supporters of the legislation say it is needed to protect intellectual property rights. Critics say that this legislation is a threat to free-speech rights. Other sites participating in the blackout are Reddit (a user-generated news site) and the blog, Boing Boing.
If lack of access to these sites has you in a bind, remember that the Davneport Public Library, as always, is an excellent source of information. You can stop in to any of our three locations, call us at 563-326-7832, or even text DPLKNOWS to 66746 and one of our highly-trained librarians will assit you.

[0001] This application is a division of application Ser. No. 09/715,328, filed on Nov. 17, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,402,718, which is continuation of pending application Ser. No. 09/440,029, filed on Nov. 12, 1999, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/901,602, filed on Jul. 28, 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,997,502, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/780,012, filed on Dec. 23, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,741,232, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/359,087, filed on Jan. 19, 1995, which is a division of application Ser. No. 07/929,926, filed on Aug. 17, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,383,858, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
[0002] This invention relates to a front-loading medical injector and a syringe for use therewith, and more particularly to a front-loading medical injector apparatus wherein a syringe of special construction is mountable upon and removable from a front wall of an injector housing by a first readily releasable mechanism, while a plunger in the syringe is simultaneously connected to or dissembled from an injector drive member by a second readily releasable mechanism. U.S. Pat. No. 4,006,736, issued to R. J. Kranys et al. on Feb. 8, 1977, and entitled, "Angiographic Injector", which is assigned to the same Assignee as the subject application, discloses an angiographic injector apparatus for injecting contrast media into the vascular system of an animal, in which angiographic syringes are rear-loaded into a pressure jacket of the injector. More specifically, the apparatus comprises a rotatable turret which carries a pair of the pressure jackets and which is rotatable so that when one of the pressure jackets, into which an angiographic syringe has been rear-loaded, is in an injection position, the other pressure jacket is in a position in which an associated angiographic syringe can be rear-loaded. Subsequently, when injection of contrast media from the first syringe is completed, the turret is rotated to move the first syringe to an unloading-loading position, with the second pressure jacket and the angiographic syringe then being moved into the injection position. In this apparatus, when each of the pressure jackets and its associated syringe has been located in the injection position, a drive member of the injector is moved forward to become drivingly engaged with a plunger in the syringe; however, the manner of engagement between the drive member and plunger is such that the drive member cannot be retracted without also retracting the plunger, which can cause body fluids of the animal to be retracted into the syringe unless the syringe is first disconnected from the animal.
[0003] An improved apparatus over the apparatus as disclosed in the Kranys et al. patent, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,677,980, issued to D. M. Reilly et al. on Jul. 7, 1987, and entitled "Angiographic Injector and Angiographic Syringe for Use Therewith", which also is assigned to the same Assignee as the subject application, In this apparatus, a drive member of the angiographic injector can be drivingly connected to, or disconnected from, a plunger of an angiographic syringe at any point along the path of travel of the plunger by a readily releasable mechanism. Thus, the apparatus of the Reilly et al. patent represented certain improvements over the Kranys et al. patent. However, the apparatus of the Reilly et al. patent, like that of the Kranys et al. patent, is of a rear-loading type comprising a pair of pressure jackets mounted upon a rotatable turret for moving the pressure jackets and syringes therein between injection and loading positions.
[0004] Accordingly, a need exists for a front-loading medical injector and a syringe of special construction so that the syringe can be readily and securely front-loaded directly and accurately in a desired position on the injector, thereby facilitating the loading-unloading operation, and a primary purpose of this invention is to provide such an arrangement with its various attendant advantages. Further, in certain instances, it is desirable that the syringe not be enclosed in a pressure jacket, in order that an operator be able to view the status of the syringe visually during an injection operation. By allowing the operator to see the syringe, the operator can, e.g., determine whether the syringe is empty or full, determine if it is being filled too fast and/or introducing too many air bubbles, when the syringe is filled, and the amount of contrast that has been delivered or remains in the syringe during a procedure. Another purpose of this invention is, in one embodiment, to provide an injector apparatus of such construction.
[0005] In general, in accordance with the invention, a readily releasable mechanism is provided for supporting a syringe on a front wall or an injector housing for an injection operation. For this purpose, the readily releasable mechanism includes at least one retaining portion on the mounting mechanism releasably engageable with a mating retaining portion on the syringe. Further, an actuating mechanism of the injector includes a drive member, which is connectable to a plunger in the syringe for controlling the movement of the plunger in the syringe.
[0006] More specifically, the readily releasable mechanism is an interlocking mechanism which is activated and released upon rotation of a rearward portion of the syringe relative to the front wall of the injector housing. At the same time, a second readily releasable interlocking mechanism for connecting the injector drive member to the syringe plunger, and which also is activated and released upon rotation of the syringe relative to the front wall of the housing, interconnects the drive member and the plunger. The first readily releasable mechanism may comprise a mounting mechanism on the front wall of the housing having at least a pair of slots for receiving retaining flanges on the rearward end of the syringe there through, with the syringe then being rotated to engage the flanges behind associated retaining flanges of the mounting mechanism. The second readily releasable mechanism comprises respective radially projecting parts on the drive member and the plunger, which become drivingly engaged in a similar manner upon rotation of the syringe and the plunger.
[0007] The first readily releasable mechanism may be further defined by the mounting mechanism on the injector housing front wall having an annular sealing member against which a resilient annular sealing member on the syringe becomes seated as the syringe is positioned on the mounting mechanism, with the resilient annular sealing member and the retaining flanges on the syringe receiving the retaining flanges on the mounting mechanism there between with an interference fit. An audible-and-tactile indicator mechanism, alignment arrows, and/or alignment dots also may be provided to detect when the syringe has been essentially rotated into its desired mounted position against suitable stops, with this mechanism then further functioning to discourage reverse rotation of the syringe on the injector housing. An indicator mechanism for providing liquid media injection information to an injector controller, and a sensor for reading the indicating mechanism, also may be provided on the syringe and the injector housing, respectively. The syringe also may include a mechanism which provides a visual indication of whether the syringe still includes injection liquid, may have an injector nozzle of reduced diameter surrounded by a screw-threaded cylindrical attachment portion at its injection end (the reduced diameter nozzle serving to minimize the amount of contrast that remains in the syringe after the plunger has been fully extended), may be provided with reinforcing ribs which are longitudinally spaced so as to also function as volumetric gradations, and/or may be formed of relatively strong clear plastic.
[0008] In another embodiment of the invention, which utilizes a pressure jacket, the pressure jacket is in the form of an elongated tube having one end mounted on the front wall of the injector housing, and having an opposite open outer end. In a syringe mounting operation, a syringe is inserted into the open end of the tubular jacket until an inner end of the syringe engages against a seat mechanism on the injector housing front wall. During this insertion operation, retaining flanges adjacent the forward end of the syringe pass through slots in the open end of the tubular pressure jacket, whereupon the syringe is rotated to engage the flanges behind corresponding mating retaining flanges at the open end of the jacket. As the syringe is rotated, a plunger in the syringe also rotates into driving engagement with a drive member of the injector. An outer injection end of the syringe also may be provided with reinforcing-handle members.

[0019]FIG. 1 discloses an injector apparatus 20 of the general type disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,006,736 to R. J. Kranys et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 4,677,980 to D. M. Reilly et al., for injecting a liquid contrast media into a vascular system of an animal, but of front-loading construction, rather than rear-loading construction, as disclosed in those patents. Thus, the apparatus of FIG. 1 utilizes a syringe 22 capable of being front-loaded into a mounting assembly 23 on a front wall 24 of a housing 26 of an injector 27 by a first readily releasable mechanism 28, and also capable of functioning in an injection operation without the use of a pressure jacket, whereas each apparatus of those patents is of a type in which angiographic syringes are rear-loaded into respective pressure jackets supported on a rotatable turret for moving the jackets between injection and loading positions. However, to the extent not inconsistent with this disclosure, the disclosures of those two patents, which both are assigned to Medrad Inc, of Pittsburgh, Pa., the Assignee of the subject application, are hereby incorporated by reference.
[0020] With reference to FIGS. 1-3 and the first readily releasable mechanism 28, the mounting assembly 23 on the front wall 24 of the injector housing 26 is provided with an essentially cylindrical opening 29 for receiving a rearward end of the syringe 22. The opening 29 includes a pair of upper and lower slots 29 s (best shown in FIG. 2) through which respective upper and lower retaining flanges 22 f of the syringe 22, having reinforcing ribs 22 fr, may pass as the rearward end of the syringe is inserted in the opening. The mounting assembly 23 further includes opposed retaining flanges 23 f on opposite sides thereof so that, after the rearward end of the syringe 22 has been inserted into the opening 29, and the syringe is rotated clockwise, as viewed in FIG. 1, the retaining flanges 22 f on the syringe become engaged behind the retaining flanges 23 f to secure the syringe to the housing front wall 24. During this mounting of the syringe 22 on the housing front wall 24, the rotation of the syringe preferably is limited by suitable rearwardly projecting stops 30 at adjacent ends of the housing front wall retaining flanges 23 f. The mounting assembly 23 also includes an inner annular ring 31 in spaced relationship to the retaining flanges 23 f, to provide support for the rearward end of the syringe 22 and also define semi-annular guide slots 23 s (best shown in FIG. 2) for receiving the syringe flanges 22 f. As is disclosed in the aforementioned D. M. Reilly et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,677,980, and referring again to FIG. 1, the syringe 22 comprises an elongated main tubular body or barrel 32 and a coaxial discharge injection section 34, interconnected by an intermediate conical portion 36. A plunger 38 is slidably positioned within the tubular body 32 and is connectable to an actuating mechanism 40 in the injector housing 26 by a second readily releasable mechanism 42. The second readily releasable mechanism 42 is formed in part by the plunger 38 comprising a base member 43 having hook or lug members 4 (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4) extending rearwardly therefrom, with portions 46 of these members extending radially inward in opposed relationship. The plunger 38 serves to control the ejection of fluid contained within the syringe 22 in a desired quantity and at a desired rate, and the hook members 44 are designed to facilitate axial movement of the plunger in either direction when connected to the actuating mechanism 40 by the second readily releasable mechanism 42.
[0021] Further in this connection, as is best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the actuating mechanism 40, which reciprocates the plunger 38 in the syringe tubular body 32, comprises a reciprocable drive member 48 which includes a base portion 50, a stem 52 (FIG. 3) and an integral rectangular head 54 extending radially outward from the stem, all of which form additional parts of the second readily releasable mechanism 42. The drive member 48, however, while reciprocable, is not rotatable, as disclosed in the above-mentioned Reilly et al patent. Rather, as the syringe 22 is inserted into the opening 29 in the mounting assembly 23, the hook members 44 (FIG. 3) on the plunger 38 initially move past the rectangular head 54 on the drive member 48 on opposite sides thereof into alignment with the stem 52 and slots 56 defined by the rectangular head and the base portion 50. Then, when the syringe 22 is rotated clockwise to engage the syringe retaining flanges 22 f behind the retaining flanges 23 f of the mounting assembly 23, the radially extending portions 46 of the hook members simultaneously move into the slots 56 to effect a driving engagement between the plunger 38 and the drive member 48 in either a forward or reverse direction, as is best shown in FIG. 3.
[0022] With further reference to FIGS. 1-3, the mounting assembly 23 further includes a forwardly projecting annular ring or collar 58 which functions to remove extra slack in the mounting slots and assure perpendicular engagement between the plunger 38 and the drive member 48, as well as for sealing. The retaining flanges 23 f are mounted within the annular ring 58. As is illustrated in FIG. 2, the tubular body 32 of the syringe 22 also includes a resilient annular sealing ring 60 surrounding the tubular body and disposed forward of the syringe retaining flanges 22 f a preselected distance D1 essentially equal to a thickness D2 of the mounting assembly retaining flanges 23 f. Thus, when the syringe 22 is inserted into the opening 29 in the mounting assembly 23 until the syringe sealing ring 60 engages the annular ring 58, and is then rotated to engage the syringe retaining flanges 22 f behind the retaining flanges 23 f, the latter flanges are received between the syringe retaining flanges and the resilient syringe sealing ring with an interference fit. For this purpose, the retaining flanges 23 f may be provided with a slight lead-in taper (not shown) to facilitate initial movement thereof between the syringe retaining flanges 22 f and the resilient sealing ring 60.
[0023] The foregoing mounting arrangement possesses a number of advantages, including minimizing wobble and rotation of the syringe 22 during an injection operation, preventing unwanted rotational disengagement of the syringe from the injector housing 26, by creating a controlled sliding friction interference fit, preventing contrast media spilled from the injecting end of the syringe, from flowing into the injector housing 26, as illustrated in FIG. 7, and eliminating the need for constructing the respective parts to excessively tight tolerances. This tight-fitting mounting of the syringe 22 on the housing front wall 24 is further facilitated by providing the syringe retaining flanges 22 f with the reinforcing ribs 22 fr (FIGS. 1, 2 and 4) to enhance their structural rigidity. To enhance the sealing capability of the annular rings 58 and 60, a suitable O-ring (not shown) also may be provided there between.
[0024] Referring again to FIG. 2, in the disclosed embodiment of the invention, the resilient annular sealing ring 60 on the syringe 22 and at least one of the retaining flanges 23 f of the mounting assembly 23 include respective parts which form an audible-and-tactile indicating mechanism 64 for detecting and indicating when the syringe and its plunger 38 have essentially been rotated into a desired mounted position against the stops 30. More specifically, the retaining flange 23 f includes an arcuate slot 23 fs formed in a front surface thereof for receiving a projection 65 on the syringe sealing flange 60 as the syringe is rotated relative to the injector housing front wall 24. The slot 22 fs further includes a protuberance 66 spaced slightly from one end of the slot so that this protuberance is engaged by the projection 65 on the syringe sealing ring 60 during rotation of the syringe toward its mounted position, with this engagement providing an audible and tactile feedback indicating that the syringe is essentially in the mounted position. Then, as the syringe 22 continues to be rotated into its mounted position, the projection 65 on the syringe annular sealing ring 60 rides over the protuberance 66 in the slot 22 fs and into a small space between the protuberance and the end of the slot, just before the retaining flanges 22 f on the syringe engage their respective stops 30. The protuberance 66 in the slot 22 fs then cooperates with the projection 65 to prevent undesired reverse rotation of the syringe 22 out of its mounted position. In the alternative, this arrangement may be reversed, with a slot-protuberance arrangement being provided on the syringe annular sealing ring 60, and a projection being provided on the one retaining flange 23 f of the injector housing front wall mounting assembly 23. Moreover, although this embodiment describes the use of a projection and slot, one should recognize that other means may also accomplish the desired tactile/audible effect. Thus, for example, one may instead use a "dimple" located on the flange 60 which may snap into a receiving hole on the retaining flange 23 f.
[0025] With further reference to FIG. 2, a system 67 for transmitting syringe information from the syringe 22 to an injector controller 68, illustrated in phantom lines in FIG. 1, while attaching the syringe to the injector housing front wall mounting assembly 23, also is provided. In this instance, the system 67 comprises an encoding device 70, such as a bar code having spaced bars 70 b and located on the syringe 22, and a sensor 72 located on the injector 27, as for example, in a second one of the connector assembly retaining flanges 23 f. Then, as the syringe 22 is rotated into its mounted position, the sensor 72 reads the encoding device 70 and forwards associated signals to the injector controller 68, which then interprets the signals and modifies the function of the injector apparatus 20 accordingly. Examples of the information which could be encoded on the encoding device 70 include dimensions of the syringe 22, content of the syringe in the case of a pre-filled syringe, manufacturing information such as lot numbers, dates and tool cavity number, recommended contrast media flow rates and pressures, and loading/injection sequences. As an alternative to the encoding device 70 being a bar code with spaced bars 70 b, the encoding device also could include raised surfaces 70 s corresponding to the spaced bars, which then would be read by a suitable injector sensor 72 in a similar manner, as the syringe 22 is mounted on the injector housing front wall 24. In addition to the encoding device 70, one may also use mechanically readable devices, e.g. a slot, hole, or projection on the syringe 22 or plunger 38 to register against a switch on the mounting assembly 23, or alternatively on optically readable device, e.g. characters, dots and other geometric shapes, that will send information concerning the type of syringe used to the intelligent circuits of the injector.
[0026] Referring to FIG. 5, since the syringe 22 is being used in this embodiment without a pressure jacket, for strength and visibility of the syringe contents, the syringe wall may be formed of a clear PET polyester material. In the alternative, the wall of the syringe 22 may be formed of polypropylene reinforced by providing a series of annular ribs 74 on the tubular body 32 of the syringe in longitudinally spaced relationship. Further, by suitably spacing the ribs 74 along the length of the tubular body 32, such as in equal increments, the ribs also can perform the dual function of serving as volumetric gradations for the purpose of indicating the amount of contrast media in the syringe 22.
[0027] With reference to FIG. 6, the tubular body 32 of the syringe 22 also may be provided with an indicating mechanism 76 for readily detecting the presence or absence of a liquid contrast media in the syringe. In this instance, the detecting mechanism 76 includes a plurality of integrally molded, textured dots 78 on the syringe 22, which provide a visual indication of whether the syringe contains liquid or air. More specifically, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, when viewed against an air background (FIG. 7), the dots 78 appear oval-shaped, but when viewed against a liquid contrast media background (FIG. 6), which has a different index of refraction than air, the dots 78 appear circular.
[0028]FIG. 8 illustrates the internal construction of the syringe discharge injection section 34. Specifically, while a rearward portion 80 of the injection section 34 is of tapered conical construction, a forward connector portion 82 is of generally cylindrical construction and formed with internal screw threads 84 for attaching a catheter (not shown) to the injection section. Further, an injection nozzle 86 of reduced diameter is disposed within the screw-threaded cylindrical connector portion 82 and is integrally molded with the tapered rearward portion 80 of the injection section adjacent the point at which the tapered and cylindrical portions merge together.
[0029]FIGS. 9 and 10 discloses an alternate embodiment of the invention in which a front-loading syringe 22′ is mounted on a front wall 24′ of a housing 26′ of an injector 27′ in conjunction with a pressure jacket 88, preferably formed of a strong clear plastic, such as polycarbonate. The pressure jacket 88 is in the form of an elongated tubular member which is suitably mounted at its rearward end in a mounting assembly 23′ on the housing front wall 24′, by fitting the flange of pressure jacket 88 into the collar on the mounting assembly 23′. The pressure jacket 88 also has a forward open end 90 for receiving the syringe 22′.
[0030] Thus, in this embodiment, a pair of opposed inwardly projecting retaining flanges 88 f, separated by opposed slots 88 s, are provided adjacent the forward open end of the pressure jacket 88, rather than in the mounting assembly 23′ on the injector housing front wall 24′ as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-8. Similarly, a tubular body 32′ of the syringe 22′ also includes a pair of outwardly projecting retaining flanges 22 f′ (only one shown) on opposite sides thereof, but in this instance located adjacent the forward end of the tubular body, rather than adjacent its rearward end, as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-8. In addition, at the forward end of the syringe 22′, on opposite sides of a discharge injection section 34′, a pair of reinforcing, loop-shaped handle portions 92, for facilitating handling of the syringe, including rotation thereof, are integrally molded with the injection section and a tapered conical intermediate portion 36′. In other respects, while not specifically disclosed and described, it is to be understood that various other features of the embodiment of the invention disclosed in FIGS. 1-8, may be incorporated into the embodiment of FIGS. 9 and 10, a desired.
[0031] In use, the syringe 22′ of FIGS. 9 and 10 may be mounted in the pressure jacket 88 with a drive member 48′ of the injector 27′ either in a retracted position, as shown in FIG. 9, or in an advanced position, as shown in FIG. 10. For example, with the drive member 48′ in the retracted position, as shown in FIG. 9, a plunger 38′ is disposed at the rearward end of the syringe 22′. The syringe 22′ then is inserted into the open end 90 in the forward end of the pressure jacket 88 until the rearward face of the retaining flanges 22 f′ have engaged against suitable seat members in the pressure jacket 88, with hook members 44′ of the syringe plunger 38′ having moved beyond a rectangular head 54′ of the drive member 48′ and into alignment with associated slots 56′ in the drive member. At the same time, the retaining flanges 22 f′ on the syringe 22′ have moved through the slots 88 s at the forward end of the pressure jacket 88 into positions rearward of the retaining flanges 88 f adjacent the opening 90 in the pressure jacket. The syringe 22′ then is rotated clockwise in FIG. 9, using the handles 92, to move radially projecting portions 46′ of the hook members 44′ on the syringe plunger 38′ into the slots 56′ of the drive member 48′, and to simultaneously move the retaining flanges 22 f′ on the syringe into engagement behind their respective retaining flanges 88 f on the pressure jacket 88.
[0032] In FIG. 10, in which the injector drive member 48′ is in a forward position, the mounting of the syringe 22′ into the pressure jacket 88 is the same as shown in FIG. 9, except that the plunger 38′ also is in its forward position in the syringe. In other respects, the mounting of the syringe 22′ on the pressure jacket 88 is essentially the same as previously described for FIG. 9. However, having the syringe plunger 38′ and the drive member 48′ in their forward positions, as shown in FIG. 10, has several advantages over the rearward position arrangement of FIG. 9, from a time standpoint. For example, since the syringe plunger 38′ and the drive member 48′ are already in their forward positions, it is not necessary to move them forward in preparation for a syringe-filling operation; rather, the plunger and the drive member can immediately be retracted for this purpose. Similarly, after an injection operation has been completed, additional time is saved by not having to retract the plunger 38′ and the drive member 48′ in preparation for a next injection operation. Further, this embodiment prevents the drive member 48′ from touching or contaminating the inner wall of syringe 22′.
[0033] In summary, a new and improved system by which an injection syringe, such as the syringe 22 in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-8, readily can be mounted upon and/or removed from the front wall 24 of the injector housing 26, has been disclosed. For this purpose, the first readily releasable mechanism 28, by which the syringe 22 is attached to or removed from the injector housing front wall 26, and the second readily releasable mechanism 42, by which the plunger 38 of the syringe is drivingly connected to or released from the drive member 48 of the injector 27 cooperate to produce their respective connections and disconnections simultaneously. Another advantage is that the plunger 38 is capable of being placed in a driven or undriven state at any point along its path, whereby the syringe 22 may be disengaged from the injector 27 without having to retract the drive member, or having to first disconnect the syringe from an animal being injected before retracting the drive member.
[0034] Other desirable features of the invention include the construction of the first readily releasable mechanism 28, in which the syringe 22 is mounted upon the front wall 24 of the injector housing 26 with an interference friction fit, which is advantageous from the standpoint of minimizing syringe wobble and reverse rotation (disengagement) during an injection operation, and eliminating the need for excessively tight manufacturing tolerances. Proper mounting of the syringe 22 and prevention of disengagement also is facilitated by the audible-and-tactile detecting mechanism 64. The encoding device 70 on the syringe 22, in cooperation with the sensor 72 on the injector 27, also is advantageous from the standpoint of providing "custom programming" of the injector as they syringe is mounted thereon. Elimination of a pressure jacket also is desirable from the standpoint of better visibility of the contents of the syringe 22, better heat transfer to the syringe contents and decreased cleaning and maintenance otherwise needed due to, e.g., scratching or contamination with contrast media of the pressure jacket.
[0035] In order to eliminate the need for a pressure jacket, the syringe 22 also may be made of a relatively strong clear plastic, or may be provided with the annular reinforcing ribs 74, which also are spaced to functions as volumetric gradations, as disclosed in FIG. 5. Further, the detection of the presence of liquid in the syringe 22 is facilitated by the indicating mechanism 76 in FIG. 6, in the form of the dots 78 molded into the syringe tubular body 32, with the dots appearing visually as either oval-shaped or circular, depending upon whether the tubular body contains air or liquid, respectively. In addition to functioning as a part of the first readily releasable mechanism 28 for the syringe 22, the syringe resilient annular flange 60 also cooperates with the annular ring 58 to create a seal to prevent contrast media spilled from the injection end of the syringe, from flowing into the injector housing 26, as shown in FIG. 7. The embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 also provides a system by which various other advantages, including time savings in syringe-filling and syringe-changing operations, can be achieved utilizing a pressure jacket, such as the pressure jacket 88 mounted in the connector assembly 23′ on the injector housing front wall 24′.
[0036] While the injector apparatus of the present invention is especially designed for injection, it may be applicable to other systems, angiographic and otherwise. It is therefore understood that the foregoing description and accompanying drawings set forth the preferred embodiments of the invention at the present time. Various modifications, additions and alternative designs will, of course, become apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing teachings without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosed invention. Thus, it should be appreciated that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but may be practiced within the full scope of the appended claims.

Manage Special Characters
In the JSP there is a field: <input name="award" value="AV® Preeminent" />
After the submit to the java side, i.e., via request.getParameter("award"); the value changes for ® and . As the result, the value on the java side becomes : AV® Preeminentâ¢.
Basically, both the ® and are changed into different characters.
OS: Windows 7
Browser: IE 8, Firefox 20, and latest version of Chrome 26.

I don't do *any* JSP development (since I hate it that much :P), but the first thing to look for is whether these characters are actually different, or if its simply an encoding issue with display. Start by walking through the char array and checking each of the char's ascii/unicode values to see if they are the correct value. If so, its likely just a charset/encoding issue affecting output.
Is that value actually hardcoded in as well, or is that what has been typed into the text field?
Been gone for a few months, and haven't programmed in that long of a time. Meh, I'll wing it ;)PHP Code:

Sounds like improper hook-up to me.
I agree, if it does turn out to be a problem with the machine and not with the hook-up. Miller will fix it. If it's the hook-up, you might be 'on your own'...

It could just as easily be a faulty component, don't jump to conclusions. I was in his shoes with a VFD recently, the manufacture tried to claim faulty hookup but still sent me a refund, I purchased a replacement hooked it up exactly like the bad unit which smoked up like this welder and have been rewarded with no problems what so ever. Regardless before I hooked up the new unit I made absolutely sure there were no problems with the power, amps, voltage, ect. In the vfd it was a bad MOV "metal oxide varesistor" a surge suppressor.
Good luck, you should be fine if you in fact did not fry the thing yourself if so you will be sure you don't next time.
Verify your input wiring, if it's wrong correct it. Without explaining what happened to it, have it repaired at your local Miller service depot. I assure you they won't care much as to what caused the problem. Most of them never tend to discover the route cause as Miller only allows so much time to find & R/R the damaged component.

burned dynasty
I put the 50 amp plug on my dynasty to match the wall socket. My 220 v compressor only uses a 20 amp plug.
I have seen some "electricians" use the white (neutral) as one of the two hots in 220 circuitry. Especially if there was only 3 wires (black, white and green), And then substitute the green into the connection.
Miller checks these machines before they ship them. I would look at the supply power.Mustangs Forever!

How can one let the smoke out of these machines by improper hookup? With the auto link feature I think this would make any failure associated with improper hookup a very rare event. In a residential setting, the machine is either going to see 110v or 220. That's about it right?
Curious to know.

I expected responses beating me down for this post. I didn't join the site prior to purchasing the machine because I was on the fence between lincoln and miller. I apologize Sundownerlll for the mis post of the invertec being a 200 as it is actually a 205. The post was not bashing miller as I did buy the dynasty over the invertec and I don't regret that decision. The dynasty received a lot of praise as well as miller's customer support. I have a dc tig running off the outlet that was used, if the outlet was wired wrong by the electrician I believe I would have fried that machine also. I double checked the wiring configuration twice before plugging in the unit. I have an electrician coming in to check my connection but from what I told him he didn't see any reason to come by. I have him coming by anyway. Oh and I am not a chinese company trying to chase people away from miller. Attack me as you may I could care less. I just thought I would post my bad luck and get involved with the board is that okay with those that bashed.
Never mind the basher's , they can't help themselves[must not be getting any at home]. I'd do as cruizer suggested in his second reply. Play dumb it gets alot of folks a long way.Dynasty 200DX "Blue Lightning"

Partners & Stakeholders
The River Raisin Area of Concern (AOC) is located in the southeastern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula in Monroe County. The AOC has been defined as the lower (2.6 miles) portion of the River Raisin, downstream from the low head dam (Dam #6) at Winchester Bridge in the City of Monroe, extending one-half mile out into Lake Erie following the Federal Navigation Channel and along the nearshore zone of Lake Erie, both north and south, for one mile.
River Raisin priorities include remediation of PCB contaminated sediments, nonpoint source pollution control, and elimination of CSOs.
Current Projects
- U.S. EPA and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality began a River Raisin Legacy Act dredging to remove approximately 110,000 cubic yards of PCB contaminated sediments from the River Raisin AOC.
- The Nature Conservancy is restoring 225 acres of prairie fen and oak savanna within four southern Michgian watersheds by removing invasive plants, reintroducing fire, restoring natural hydrology, and creating corridors of habitat.
- MDEQ will reduce nitrate loads to the River Raisin, which flows into Lake Erie.
- The City of Monroe, Michigan will install fish passage structures at four dams along a 3.5 mile stretch of the River Raisin, where it runs into Lake Erie. The River Raisin Dam Remediation project is expected to result in the delisting of several Beneficial Use Impairments in this Area of Concern.
- Michigan Department of Natural Resources will repair dikes and instal water control structures for 310 acres of marsh at Sterling State Park. They will improve habitat for shorebirds and control the invasion of phragmites.
You will need the free Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
Beneficial Use Impairments
- Restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption
- Eutrophication or undesirable algae
- Degradation of fish and wildlife populations
- Beach closings
- Degradation of aesthetics
- Bird or animal deformities or reproduction problems
- Degradation of benthos
- Restriction on dredging activities
- Loss of fish and wildlife habitat
The Remedial Action Plan (RAP) process for the River Raisin AOC identified nine of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement's 14 beneficial uses as being impaired. The beneficial use impairments (BUIs) identified include Restrictions on Fish & Wildlife Consumption, Degradation of Fish and Wildlife Populations, Bird or Animal Deformities or Reproductive Problems, Degradation of Benthos, Restrictions on Dredging Activities, Eutrophication or Undesirable Algae, Beach Closings, Degradation of Aesthetics, and Loss of Fish and Wildlife Habitat.
These impairments have been primarily caused by historical discharges of oils and grease, heavy metals, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to the river from industrial facilities in the area. Additionally, industrial and municipal waste disposal sites adjacent to the river are suspected of contaminating the river.
For further information on River Raisin BUIs, see the RAP documents listed in the Significant RAP Milestones section below.
Delisting Targets
The 2002 River Raisin RAP Update (draft) (PDF) (21pp, 851K) includes qualitative goals for the restoration of BUIs in the River Raisin AOC. In 2006, the River Raisin Public Advisory Council (PAC) will decide whether to adopt the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality's (MDEQ) Guidance for Delisting Michigan's Great Lakes Areas of Concern (PDF) (61pp, 508K) , or to refine the criteria to reflect local goals.
RAP Development and Status
The first River Raisin RAP (PDF) (188pp, 6.1MB) document was completed and sent to the International Joint Commission in 1987. The purpose of the document was to compile and analyze existing river data and to recommend actions for addressing known environmental problems associated with the River Raisin AOC. Among numerous causes of water quality impairment, the RAP identified contaminated sediments from PCBs as the primary pollutant of concern.
In 2002, the RAP was updated to provide a current assessment of water quality in the AOC. The River Raisin RAP Update (draft) (PDF) (21pp, 851K) identified nine BUIs for the River Raisin AOC.
Significant RAP Milestones
- 2002: River Raisin RAP Update (draft) (PDF 851Kb 21 pages) completed. The RAP update highlighted recent remedial actions completed in the AOC and provided a brief status of each BUI.
- 1993: The River Raisin PAC formed to assist MDEQ staff on all phases of the RAP project. Membership consists of citizens representing a wide range of interests such as local government, businesses, industries, and environmental groups. The PAC has initiated a number of activities to benefit not only the AOC, but the entire River Raisin watershed.
- 1992: A River Raisin RAP Team was formed primarily to deal with technical issues associated with the project. Membership consists of representatives from various federal, state and local agencies such as the Natural Resources Conservation Service, MDEQ, Michigan Department of Community Health, Monroe County Health Department and Monroe County Soil and Water Conservation District.
- 1987: The RAP for River Raisin (PDF 6.13Mb 188 pages) was completed and submitted to the IJC. The purpose of the RAP was to compile and analyze existing river data and to recommend actions needed to address known problems.
RAP Implementation
Recent progress and achievements
- 2005: The Automotive Components Holdings, LLC (ACH) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service entered into a cooperative management agreement to incorporate 240 acres of coastal wetlands, called Eagle Island Marsh, into the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge. The Eagle Island Marsh is located behind the ACH's plant and is bordered by Sterling State Park to the north. This large wetland complex is unique to the region and contains marshland, transitional meadows and forested wetlands. Eagle Island Marsh supports significant beds of the threatened American Lotus, a pale yellow flower that is the nation's largest aquatic wildflower, and is the official clean water symbol of the State of Michigan.
- 2004: The City of Monroe was awarded an MDEQ Coastal Management Program grant to conduct a field assessment of all open waterways within the city. This comprehensive assessment will identify fish and wildlife habitat and water quality BUIs, identify best management practices to address the BUIs, and will provide a means to implement natural resource conservation programs to restore the BUIs.
- 2004: The MDEQ nominated the River Raisin AOC for project funding consideration under the Great Lakes Legacy Act. The nomination is currently pending action by the U.S. EPA Superfund program.
- 2003-04: The MDEQ and U.S. EPA conducted pre- and post-navigational dredging surveys for PCBs. Sampling included volatile organics, metals, PCBs, oil and grease, whole sediment bioaccumulation test, caged fish, and edible portion fish tissue sampling. PCBs from the turning basin downstream were identified as the main contamination "hot spot". The studies indicated that there is significant potential for uptake of PCBs into the food web. An addendum was completed for the remedial alternatives evaluation report, recommending dredging of contaminated sites, particularly the turning basin, in the AOC.
- 2003: The River Raisin Watershed Council was awarded $12,800 in grant funds to conduct a benthic macroinvertebrate community and stream habitat assessment in the River Raisin Watershed.

Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 53 points in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 106-91 rout of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Durant tallied 26 points and eight rebounds, while Westbrook added 27 points, 10 assists and six boards for Oklahoma City, which has won four in a row and five of six.
Kyrie Irving registered 20 points and five assists for the Cavs, who have dropped five of their last six contests.
Irving's reverse layup brought Cleveland within 67-64 with 3:42 remaining in the third before Westbrook scored eight of his team's final 10 points of the frame.
His running bank shot from 31 feet away at the buzzer gave Oklahoma City a 79-73 lead heading into the fourth.
"That kind of broke their back a little bit," Durant said of the buzzer- beating shot.
"We wanted to take the foul once they caught it and started dribbling up the court," Cleveland head coach Byron Scott said of the play.
An 11-3 run helped the Thunder establish a 98-81 advantage with 4:04 to play.
Oklahoma City led 27-21 after a quarter of play and took a 57-46 edge into the locker room.
The Thunder shot 54.8 percent from the floor (40-of-73), compared to a 41
percent effort by Cleveland (34-of-83) ... Oklahoma City outrebounded
Cleveland, 41-36.

Yes. Playing UK games on a german console was never a problem because it's the same region anyway (same goes for DVDs and Blu-ray discs).
I use my german PS3 with games bought in the UK regularly and never encountered any problems regarding DLC. Most games you get from the UK are the "european" version which also has the german version built in.
