Naan bread pudding with cardamom caramel sauce
It's well known that the East Bay boasts an array of fantastic take-out food. One of my favorites is a little Indian cafe where the curries are succulent, the buttery rice is speckled with saffron, and the tandoor-blistered naan bread is pillowy, warm, and as big as a record album.
It's a rare occasion, but every once in a while, there's leftover naan in my house. It didn't take me long to turn it into a rich, dense sweet treat — one that's equally delicious as a hearty dessert or a decadent brunch. With its heap of warm spices and its blankets of custard-soaked fruit and naan, this layered bread pudding is pure lusciousness. A nod to the Indian food behind it, cardamom is abundant in both the creamy pudding layers and the sweet caramel sauce drizzled over each slice. … Continue reading »
Spiced pear sandwich cakes: Luscious and laid back
There's an air of looming formality in autumn. Sandals and shorts disappear into the backs of our closets. Clinking glasses and winter rituals are close on the horizon. Playing in a pile of colored leaves feels invigorating but elusive. So as a small act of rebellion against the buttoned-up-ness that winter will soon bring, I decided to join together two of fall's most scrumptious ingredients — pears and cloves — in a deliciously relaxed form. … Continue reading »
Earthy, scrumptious rosehip graham crackers
Other than their occasional presence in tea and jam, rosehips haven't surfaced much in my life. I suppose they've been overshadowed by the ubiquitous flowers of the same plant: roses (which have an entirely different scent and flavor than the fruit we call their hips).
I admit I still haven't had a chance to taste a fresh rosehip, but I've now tried dried rosehips in both whole and powdered form. Earthy and subtly tangy, their flavor brought to mind the wholemeal taste of graham crackers or digestive biscuits — both of which I've long found addicting and wondrously versatile. But for some reason I'd never endeavored to make my own at home. Until now. … Continue reading »
A baker's moment: Semifreddi's celebrates 30 years
Tom Frainier likes to cuddle a freshly baked loaf at his Semifreddi's bakery and exclaim, "Bread is sexy."
Frainier's passion for making a beautiful and delicious foodstuff based on the ancient art of fermenting grain is evident. The idea of creating many jobs also excites him.
"We are the offensive linemen of the food world and not the celebrity chefs," the Semifreddi's CEO said recently. "Every day the team grinds out what has been made for thousands of years. Our business mission has evolved from 'take care of the customer' into 'take care of our employees."
This is a man whose business card reads: 'Chief Bootlicker.' … Continue reading »

Brown sugar soy sauce cake: Gooey, citrusy, delish
Perusing the aisles at Rockridge Market Hall, one of my favorite local markets, I recently came across a beautiful little bottle of soy sauce: a product to which I don't usually give much attention. But this decorated label magnetized me with phrases like "small batch", "non-GMO", "limestone filtered spring water", and "brewed and aged in bourbon barrels". And the description of the taste captivated me the most: "hints of oak and a mild sweetness reminiscent of fine Kentucky bourbon." With those words, I decided this soy sauce was destined to be part of my next dessert recipe.
Like most soy sauce, my new bottle was pleasantly rich, salty, and a bit malty at once. With its special robust flavor, I couldn't think of a better match than molasses-rich dark brown sugar, and a moist skillet cake would offer a perfect format. For complementary complexity, I embellished and enhanced the cake with tangy, bright oranges and plenty of vanilla. To top it all off, the interplay of brown sugar, butter and salt would spontaneously create a sort of succulent butterscotch, present in every rich bite. Here is the recipe. … Continue reading »
Pea and peppermint cake: Delightfully different
For the new year, maybe you decided to eat more vegetables, or you're craving green foods after a season of richer meals. Or, perhaps you didn't resolve to do anything new, but you appreciate a little adventure in the kitchen. Allow me to introduce a delicious dessert whose ingredients include a heap of unlikely vegetables: green peas.
Frozen peas are my back-up for fresh veggies, and the kind I buy come in a bag that boasts, "Naturally sweet!" Despite those truthful italic words, I usually mask the peas' sweetness with a bit of sea salt or parmesan cheese, serving them as a savory side. But then again, I've done the same thing with carrots, zucchini and pumpkin — and if these can make much-adored sweets, why not give peas a chance?
So I finally paired my sweet peas with sugar, flour and vanilla — along with plenty of fresh peppermint leaves and a bit of tangy lemon zest. The result was a delicious and refreshing cake, bursting with minty citrus and sweet herbal undertones. Here is the recipe: … Continue reading »
Tomato spice cake: A seasonal sweet
It's been hard not to notice the abundance of tomatoes in season lately. I've seen vibrant varieties of colors and shapes at farmers markets, grocery stores and gardens of green-thumbed friends. They whisper that summer is sneaking away as the magic of autumn awaits us. They offer a burst of life and color while the sky gets a little bit darker each day. … Continue reading »
Got leftover lemonade? Try this summer cake
Lemonade is a quintessential summertime drink — it's almost hard to imagine an outdoor event without it. I recently found myself with a jug of leftover lemonade in my fridge, luring me in with its tart sweetness every time I opened the door. I'd take a little sip here and there, but more than anything, I felt compelled to turn it into a refreshing summer dessert.
Cake recipes nearly always rely on both liquid and sugar, so I decided to create one using the lemonade to help fill these roles. Since Meyer lemons are soft with a milder texture than the standard kind, it was their pretty slices that I pictured on the cake from the beginning. While this recipe is delicious without any embellishments, adding a sprinkle of sweet corn can bring to mind another summer staple, or a handful of coconut can add a tropical flare. … Continue reading »
Hibiscus pistachio meringues: Perfect summer treat
One of my favorite summer drinks is a simple brew made from a stunning crimson flower. Tart and refreshing on a warm afternoon, iced hibiscus is tangy and floral, delicious with a squeeze of lime and a bit of sweetness.
To celebrate hibiscus in an unusual, edible form, I recently decided to transform my red beverage into a tangy syrup and whip it into meringue for baking. Enhanced with citrus zest and sprinkled with bright green pistachios, the little, light cookies proved to be beautiful and delicious: a perfect summer treat.
Hibiscus Pistachio Meringues (makes about 125 meringues)
¾ cup boiling water¾ cup dried hibiscus petals, divided
3 ounces shelled pistachio nuts
1 lemon or lime
1 tablespoon clear corn syrup
¾ cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
3 egg whites (about 3/8 cup)
red food coloring or beet powder, optional
salt for sprinkling (if nuts are unsalted)

BellSouth/Z93 Stage
THE LES CLAYPOOL FROG BRIGADE -- With Primus on extended hiatus, Claypool's wigged-out, post-funk Zappa-isms continue on his new Purple Onion solo project. Fun, frisky and often infuriating, he's an inventive, exciting bass player whose eccentricities veer from charming to aggravating. Fans will love it, others might find this an occasionally fascinating if tiresome hour. 7-8 p.m. (Horowitz)
STEVE WINWOOD -- Talk about a varied career. Winwood started with the Spencer Davis Group as an accomplished 16-year-old soul shouter, did the supergroup thing with Blind Faith, spent much of the late '60s and '70s in Traffic and staged an improbable comeback as a smooth, adult contemporary crooner in the '80s. But unlike many of his contemporaries, his raw talent and voice remain intact. 8:30-10 p.m. (Robertson)
THE B-52'S -- Now in their 26th year, the B's are still in fine form, offering up a greatest hits show and a major dance party marathon. 10:30 p.m.-midnight (Smith)
Dodge/96 Rock/UPN Atlanta Stage
CRACKER -- Cracker's latest, Oh Cracker, Where Art Thou?, is a rustic re-imagining of the band's more familiar tunes backed by bluegrass/kitchen-sink fusionists Leftover Salmon. Amusing? Yes. Necessary? Hardly. But Cracker's David Lowery will do just about anything to keep busy -- and that includes reuniting his old outfit, post-punk eccentrics Camper Van Beethoven, for a full-fledged reunion tour that continues this month. So which will it be, Camper or Cracker? And where the hell is Bill? 6:30-7:30 p.m. (Rowland)
SHERYL CROW -- Speculations (have you seen that bikini? did she have a facelift?) aside, and associations with Amex, Michael Jackson and Kid Rock notwithstanding, Sheryl Crow occasionally rocks in a good way, keeping it real with her own piano and guitar playing. Be on the lookout for Atlantan and former Jellyfish-er Tim Smith on bass. 8-9:30 p.m. (York)
BOB DYLAN -- Thirty-nine years after the release of his first album, Bob Dylan proved that his enduring legacy isn't all past-tense on the moody Love and Theft, a shaded and haunting effort released Sept. 11, 2001. His oft-derided vocal cords are almost completely shot, reduced to a wistfully angry rasp, but Dylan's pop-cultural voice has seldom been louder or more assured. 10-11:30 p.m. (Moreau)
Ford/Fox 5/WABE Stage
VHS OR BETA -- This Louisville, Ky., house/disco hybrid outfit jettisoned the city's trademark metallic angularities for the compelling choreography of stomping synth beats, kaleidoscopic locked grooves and French-fried fretwork. The resulting Daft Punk-inspired Le Funk is more deserving of the title Le Punk considering the five-piece's brazen willingness to go it live. 6-6:50 p.m. (Ware)
GENE CARBONELL -- A local master of dark, driving, slowly unfolding progressive house, DJ Gene Carbonell will have to lean toward bumping over building in this small slot. But we have complete faith in Carbonell's ability to bring his brand of Seks-tual excitement into the light -- so to speak. 6:50-7:20 p.m. (Ware)
PARTICLE -- These West Coast jammers label their instrumental music "space-porn-funk," which is an apt description of their retro, synth-enhanced noodling. Like much of this stuff, a little goes a long way, and since the songs all sound similar, the group provides appropriately trippy visuals to enhance the mood. Far out. 7:20-8:20 p.m. (Horowitz)
MING + FS -- Pioneers of the "junkyard" sound -- throwing in everything but the Hell's Kitchen sink -- Madhattan duo Ming + FS offer a mashing, gnashing, gritty beat collage equally informed by hip-hop, electro, drum 'n' bass, dub, tribal and disco. Live, they incorporate four turntables, various effects and live instrumentation for an inspired trade-off. 8:20-8:50 p.m. (Ware)
DISCO BISCUITS -- It's not every outfit that can draw on oft-mocked musical touchstones from decades past (disco and classic rock) and weave them into credible -- even admirable -- free-range jazz-funk excursions. The Biscuits' extended jams don't always work -- guitar noodling and strobe-lit dance-floor anthems aren't chocolate and peanut butter, after all. But when they do work, they rise above the level of gimmicky novelty into the realm of serious groovin'. 8:50-10 p.m. (Moreau)
MING + FS -- See above. 10-10:30 p.m. (Ware)
SOUND TRIBE SECTOR NINE -- This Georgia-bred combo has enjoyed some crossover success with the jam-band demographic, even if its layered, repetitive groove sandwiches suggest closer kinship with the less-populist techno-electro crowd. Whatever. This outfit's soundscapes are a satisfying hybrid of urgent dance-jazz and ethereal, New Agey diffusion. 10:30-midnight (Moreau)
Miller Lite/99X Stage
AMERICAN HI-FI -- Featuring a veteran of Letters to Cleo and Veruca Salt, American Hi-Fi wraps alt-rock earnestness in arena rock ambition. A jagged, metallic buzz passed down from the Pixies and Husker Du is joined with a love of Cheap Trick for more a digestible sound a la Weezer, Sum 41, etc. 7:30-8:15 p.m. (Ware)
Beck and Alabama Shakes...that's about it. I'm sure there's an unknown or two I would…
Well, this years Music Midtown sucks!
I'm pretty sure he was 19.
3 people apparently love handing over an extra 40% in fees for nothing in return…
Dang. I thought they would name some actual headliners.

The official source of information on Managed Providers, DataSet & Entity Framework from Microsoft
A while ago we blogged about EF7 targeting new platforms and new data stores. In that post we shared that our EF6.x code base wasn't setup to achieve what we wanted to in EF7, and that EF7 would be a "lightweight and extensible version of EF".
That begs the question, is EF7 the next version of EF, or is it something new? Before we dig into the answer, let's cover exactly what's the same and what's changing.
When it comes to writing code, most of the top level experience is staying the same in EF7.
An example
For example, this code looks exactly the same in EF6.x and EF7.
using (var db = new BloggingContext()){ db.Blogs.Add(new Blog { Url = "blogs.msdn.com/adonet" }); db.SaveChanges(); var blogs = from b in db.Blogs.Include(b => b.Posts) orderby b.Name select b; foreach (var blog in blogs) { Console.WriteLine(blog.Name); foreach (var post in blog.Posts) { Console.WriteLine(" -" + post.Title); } }}
While the top level API remains the same (or very similar), EF7 does also include a number of significant changes. These changes can be grouped into a series of buckets.
One of the key motivations behind EF7 is to provide a code base that will allow us to more quickly add new features. While many of these will come after the initial RTM, we have been able to easily implement some of them as we build out the core framework.
Some examples of features already added to EF7 include:
EF6 and earlier releases have some unintuitive behavior in the top level APIs. While the APIs are staying the same, we are taking the opportunity to remove some limitations and chose more expected behavior.
An example of this is how queries are processed. In EF6.x the entire LINQ query was translated into a single SQL query that was executed in the database. This meant your query could only contain things that EF knew how to translate to SQL and you would often get complex SQL that did not perform well.
In EF7 we are adopting a model where the provider gets to select which bits of the query to execute in the database, and how they are executed. This means that query now supports evaluating parts of the query on the client rather than database. It also means the providers can make use of queries with multiple results sets etc., rather than creating one single SELECT with everything in it.
Under the covers EF7 is built over the top of a lighter weight and more flexible set of components. Many of these provide the same functionality as components from EF6.x, but are designer to be faster, easier to use, and easier to replace or customize. To achieve this they are factored differently and bare varying resemblance to their counterparts from EF6.x.
A good example of this is the metadata that EF stores about your entity types and how they map to the data store. The MetadataWorkspace from EF6.x (and earlier versions) was a complex component with a difficult API. MetadataWorkspace was not built with a lightweight and performant O/RM in mind and achieving basic tasks is difficult. For example here is the code to find out which table the Blog entity type is mapped to:
using (var context = new BloggingContext()){ var metadata = ((IObjectContextAdapter)context).ObjectContext.MetadataWorkspace; var objectItemCollection = ((ObjectItemCollection)metadata.GetItemCollection(DataSpace.OSpace)); var entityType = metadata .GetItems<EntityType>(DataSpace.OSpace) .Single(e => objectItemCollection.GetClrType(e) == typeof(Blog)); var entitySet = metadata .GetItems<EntityContainer>(DataSpace.CSpace).Single() .EntitySets .Single(s => s.ElementType.Name == entityType.Name); var mapping = metadata.GetItems<EntityContainerMapping>(DataSpace.CSSpace).Single() .EntitySetMappings .Single(s => s.EntitySet == entitySet); var table = mapping .EntityTypeMappings.Single() .Fragments.Single() .StoreEntitySet; var tableName = (string)table.MetadataProperties["Table"].Value ?? table.Name;}
In EF7 we are using a metadata model that is simple to use and purpose built for the needs of Entity Framework. To highlight this point, here is the EF7 code to achieve the same thing as the EF6.x code listed above.
using (var db = new BloggingContext()){ var tableName = db.Model.GetEntityType(typeof(Blog)).Relational().Table;}
Removing features is always a tough decision, and not something we take lightly. Given the major changes in EF7 we have identified some features that we will not be bringing forward.
Most of the features not coming forwards in EF7 are legacy features that are only used by a very small number of developers.
Some of the features we are retiring because there is already another (we believe better) way of doing things. While we'd love to continue pulling everything forward, we need to balance time, resources, and the cost of adding support for highly requested features as we move forward. To be able to continue devloping and improving the stack we need to shed some of the baggage.
Because much of the core of EF7 is new, the first release of EF7 isn't going to have all the features that are required for all applications. There is always a tension between wanting to ship quickly and wanting to have more features in a given release. As soon as we have the core framework and basic functionality implemented we will provide a release of EF7 for folks to use in applications with simpler requirements. We'll then provide a series of quick releases that add more and more features.
Of course, this means EF7 isn't going to be usable for every application when it is first released, and for that reason we are continuing development of EF6.x for some time and expect many of our customers to remain on that release.
An example of this is lazy loading support, we know this is a critical feature for a number of developers, but at the same time there are many applications that can be developed without this feature. Rather than making everyone wait until it is implemented, we will ship when we have a stable code base and are confident that we have the correct factoring in our core components. To be clear, it's not that we are planning to remove lazy loading support from EF7, just that some apps can start taking advantage of the benefits of EF7 before lazy loading is implemented.
The answer is both. There were actually three options we discussed in terms of naming/branding for EF7:
We decided that once you start writing code, this feels so much like Entity Framework that is really isn't something new (that ruled out option #3). While there are going to be some nuances between the v6 and v7 transition that need to be documented and explained, it would ultimately be more confusing to have two different frameworks that have almost identical APIs and patterns.
Options #1 and #2 both seem valid to us. Our ultimate conclusion was that #1 is going to cause some confusion in the short term, but make the most sense in the long term. To a lesser extent we've tackled similar hurdles in the past with the introduction of DbContext API and Code First in EF4.1 and then the move out of the .NET Framework in EF6 (and subsequent duplications of types, namespace changes, etc.). While these were confusing things to explain, in the long term it seems to have been the correct decision to continue with one product name.
Of course, this is a somewhat subjective decision and there are no doubt folks who are going to agree and some who will disagree (there are even mixed opinions within our team).

Race was an important topic to the physical anthropologists of 1918, but their views were not monolithic. Multiple perspectives on race are expressed in the first volume of the AJPA, which encompass biological determinism and assumptions about evolutionary processes underlying the race concept. Most importantly, many of the significant alternative approaches to the study of human variation were already expressed in 1918. This paper examines race from the different perspectives of three key contributions to the first volume of the AJPA: papers from Hrdlička, Hooton, and Boas. The meaning of race derived from this work is then discussed. Despite new understandings gained through the neo-Darwinian synthesis and the growth of genetics, the fundamentals of the modern discussions of race were already planted in 1918.

Ray Lavender - Donkey Kong
Posted 9 years ago
Tags: Ray Lavender , Club
Ray Lavender
Ray Lavender, aka Ray-L, is the latest artist to be signed to the ever-growing Konvict record label. The 23-year-old is aiming to break into the charts with the single Donkey Kong, from his upcoming debut album X-Rayted. This is a typical Konvict release – the hook, although catchy, sounds similar to other 2007 hits produced by Akon. In Ray-L's quest to "Get that fanny up out them jeans", the chorus features a slowed-down voice proclaiming, "She got that Donkey Kong bouncin' in that blouse." You will laugh; I know I did. How did Donkey Kong become a synonym for the female anatomy? At any rate, be on the lookout for more suggestive songs (possibly about Nintendo) on X-Rayted, in stores this September.

A direct synthesis technique of a new class of bandstop coupled resonator elliptic filters is presented. Two different coupling schemes, which both include source-load coupling are used. The first coupling and routing scheme is the standard folded structure used in implementing bandpass elliptic filters with N transmission zeros using N resonators. The second coupling scheme is identical to the multipath parallel structure, which was recently introduced for the synthesis of fully elliptic bandpass filters. In both cases, the source and load are directly coupled by an inverter in order to generate the required transmission zeros. It is shown that, for each coupling scheme, two distinct solutions that are not related by a similarity transformation exist. Furthermore, the two solutions both have realistic coupling coefficients in contrast to the bandpass case where only one solution, in general, is practical. It is also shown that the same coupling scheme can implement pseudoelliptic bandstop filters with Nz reflection zeros where 0≤Nz≤N.

The makeup experts at Sumita have created a versatile eyeliner that exceeds all our tough standards: sensational blending abilities, bold colors, and nonirritating formulas. The soft wax formula goes on smooth to create clean lines or can be smudged to smoky perfection. Plus, the long-lasting liner will hold up all day and night.
Love this liner. I normally use urban decay 24/7 which I love and found this eyeliner very similar but a bit creamier. Goes on super smooth and easy with a great pop of color. I received a blue color in my box which was fun but bought the grey. Plan to get lots of use out of this product!5
When I received this eyeliner I was excited to wear it. I went to the zoo and instead of wearing liquid eyeliner I chose Sumita blue eyeliner from my Birchbox, unfortunately it was a HUGE disappointment. The color and texture was okay but it did smear and made a line at the top of my eye which I dislike a lot.1

This invention relates generally to blood-pressure cuffs of sphygmomanometers and more particularly to devices which can be used to prevent such cuffs from becoming contaminated and/or from contaminating patients.
Studies have shown that significant bacterial colonizations occurs on surfaces of non-disposable sphygmomanometer cuffs as well as on reused disposable cuffs. Such studies have indicated that medical staffs employing such cuffs, including nursing professionals, almost never routinely clean them between patients and few regard such cuffs as being possible sources of infection. Only clean, non-used, disposable cuffs were shown to have insignificant colonization rates during one such study. Thus, it has been recommended that, where possible, a sterilized cuff, or an unused disposable cuff, be dedicated to each patient upon arrival at a hospital and that the cuff follow the patient around in the hospital. A difficulty with this solution is that it is an administrative problem to maintain a cuff in association with each patient. Also, if a blood-pressure cuff is dedicated to each patient, an unduly large number of cuffs is required, which is expensive. Although disposable cuffs exist, their use is also expensive. Further, the acquisition, storage, and handling of large numbers of cuffs is difficult and not cost effective. Thus, it is an object of this invention to provide a means for preventing blood-pressure cuffs from becoming contaminated and from spreading contamination in an uncomplicated and cost effective manner without employing relatively large numbers of disposable and/or non-disposable blood-pressure cuffs and without maintaining associations between particular patients and cuffs.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,548,249 to Slaughterbeck suggests the use of replaceable protective sleeves for sphygmomanometer cuffs. A protective sleeve described in that patent is somewhat enveloped shaped, being closed at both ends but open at a side edge for receiving a blood-pressure cuff therein. A problem with the protective sleeve of this patent is that it does not have universal application, being useful only with particularly configured blood-pressure cuffs. Also, when a blood-pressure cuff is inserted in such a sleeve, attaching devices of the cuff, which hold it about a patient's appendage during use, are initially covered. Therefore, provision must be made for uncovering these attaching devices. Thus, the protective sleeve of that patient is provided with removable windows, which add expense to the protective sleeve. Further, when the attaching devices thereof are uncovered in this manner, they can become contaminated and can pass on such contamination. Thus, it is an object of this invention to provide a protective cover for a blood-pressure cuff which must not be custom formed to a particular blood-pressure cuff, which does not uncover portions of the cuff during use, and which is inexpensive to construct.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a protective cover for a blood-pressure cuff which does not affect the accuracy of a sphygmomanometer of which the cuff is part, which is not uncomfortable for a patient to use, which is not inconvenient or time consuming for medical personnel to use, but yet which provides a wide margin of security from contamination for both patients and medical personnel.
According to principles of this invention, a protective cover for blood-pressure cuffs comprises a basically single-plane flexible sheet having bottom and top portions in the shape of elongated, substantially-parallel, bottom and top bands and an intermediate portion interconnecting the bottom and top bands along lengths thereof. The bottom and top bands of the respective bottom and top portions have widths which are substantially greater than a width of a blood-pressure cuff to be thereby covered, the bottom band having a length which is greater than a distance about an appendage on which the blood-pressure cuff is used and the top band having a length which is greater than a distance about an outer surface of the blood-pressure cuff when it is wrapped about the appendage. The intermediate portion has a length which is substantially less than the distance about the appendage. In use, the bottom band is wrapped about the appendage, the blood-pressure cuff is wrapped about the bottom band, the top band is pivoted relative to the bottom band at the intermediate portion over the blood-pressure cuff and then wrapped about the blood-pressure cuff to cover it.
The flexible sheet, in a preferred embodiment, is fluid impervious but, also in a preferred embodiment, it is a two-ply sheet with an exterior layer, facing the appendage and away from the blood-pressure cuff, being of a soft absorbent material and an interior layer, facing the cuff, being of a more liquid impervious material. In a preferred embodiment, the bottom band of the bottom portion is shorter than the top band of the top portion.
The bottom band includes an attachment device for attaching opposite end portions of the bottom band together when the bottom band is wrapped about the appendage and the top band includes an attachment device for attaching opposite end portions of the top band together when it is wrapped about the blood-pressure cuff. The attachment devices can include adhesives.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the drawings. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating principles of the invention in a clear manner.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a protective cover of this invention extended in a flat plane above an arm with a blood-pressure cuff being positioned above a bottom portion of the protective cover;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the structure of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2, but with a bottom band of the bottom portion of the protective cover being wrapped about the arm;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but with the blood-pressure cuff being wrapped about the bottom portion of the protective cover and the arm protective cover; and
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 but with a top portion of the protective cover being rotated at an intermediate portion of the protective cover over the blood-pressure cuff and wrapped about the cuff, the arm, and the first portion of the blood-pressure cuff.
FIG. 1 depicts an inflatable blood-pressure cuff 10 of a sphygmomanometer for measuring the blood pressure of a patient 12 by wrapping the blood-pressure cuff 10 about an appendage 14 of the patient's body. In this case, as is normal, the appendage 14 is the patient's arm. Also shown in FIG. 1 is a protective cover 16 of this invention to be used in conjunction with the blood-pressure cuff 10 for taking the blood pressure measurement. Although the blood-pressure cuff 10 and the protective cover 16 are shown extended in planes, with the blood-pressure cuff 10 being above the protective cover 16, both of these elements are quite flexible and will normally not be in such configurations one positioned above the other as shown in FIG. 1.
The protective cover 16 is basically a flexible sheet which will normally include a liquid impervious layer. In this regard, in a preferred embodiment, the protective cover 16 is a two-ply sheet, having an exterior layer 18 of a soft, absorbent material and a thin interior layer 20 of a relatively soft, flexible, plastic film, which is basically liquid impervious. Such a two-ply sheet is currently being sold by Erving Paper Mills as "polyback tissue", a name used in the trade for such material. It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the exterior layer 18 lies against a surface of the patient's appendage 14 to provide comfort for the patient 12 while the liquid impervious interior layer 20 faces the blood-pressure cuff 10 so as to protect the blood-pressure cuff 10 from outside contamination and to prevent contamination from spreading outwardly from the blood-pressure cuff 10.
The protective cover 16 is shaped to have a bottom portion 22 in the shape of an elongated bottom band 24. The length of the bottom band 24, Lb, in one embodiment, is approximately 18 inches, while its width Wb is approximately nine inches. The length Lb must be sufficiently great that the lower band 24 can be completely wrapped about the appendage 14 with its ends substantially overlapping. That is, Lb >Da where Da is the complete distance about the arm 14 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The width Wb of the bottom band 24 must be substantially greater than a width Wc of the blood-pressure cuff 10, as can be seen in FIG. 1. In this regard, the width of blood-pressure cuffs vary, however, they are usually in a range of 21/2 inches to 65/8 inches which is substantially less than the nine inch width Wb of the bottom band 24. Thus, in this embodiment, the width Wb of the bottom band 24 is at least 23/8 inches wider than the width of the blood-pressure cuff (9 inches-65/8 inches=23/8 inches) and a minimum width therefor would therefore be around 47/8 inches (21/2 inches+23/8 =47/8 inches) to provide a desired margin for the smallest blood-pressure cuffs. The bottom band 24 of the depicted embodiment has a uniform width along its length; however, this is not essential so long as this band is shaped to form a band completely about the appendage 14 which is substantially wider than the width of the blood-pressure cuff. The bottom band 24 includes an attachment device 26 near one of its opposite ends 27a and 27b for attachment to a portion of the other opposite end so that ends of the bottom band 24 can be attached together to retain the bottom band 24 wrapped about the appendage 14, as it is depicted in FIG. 3. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment device 26 is a pressure sensitive adhesive strip, which is relatively inexpensive, however, it can be formed of other materials as well.
The protective cover 16 also includes a top portion 28 having a shape of a top band 30. The top band 30, in a preferred embodiment, has a width Wt of about nine inches and a length Lt of about 25 inches, which is longer than the length Lb of the bottom band 24. In this regard, these exact dimensions are not critical, however, it is important that the width Wt of the top band 30 be substantially greater than the width Wc of the blood-pressure cuff 10 and that its length Lt be greater than a distance Dc (FIG. 4) completely about the blood-pressure cuff 10 when it is wrapped about the appendage 14, as shown in FIG. 4. Again, the top band 30 is shown as having a uniform width along its length. This is not critical although the top band 30, when its ends are wrapped about the blood-pressure cuff 10 as shown in FIG. 5, must form a circular band for completely covering the blood-pressure cuff 10. The top portion 28 also includes an adhesive attachment device 32 for interconnecting opposite end portions 34 and 36 of the top band 30.
The protective cover 16 also includes an intermediate, or hinge, portion 38 for interconnecting the bottom band 4 and the top band 30 along their lengths. The length Li of the intermediate portion 38 is substantially less than the distance Da about the appendage 14, as shown in FIG. 2, so that when the bottom band 24 is wrapped about the appendage 14, as depicted in FIG. 3, a substantial space 40 remains between ends 42 and 44 of the intermediate portion 38. A width Wi of the intermediate portion 38, in a preferred embodiment, is about an inch and a half, which is the approximate thickness of the blood-pressure cuff 10 when it is wrapped and inflated. This ensures an accurate reading with the cuff by not causing false pressure on a bladder of the cuff.
In a method of using the protective cover of this invention, when blood pressure is to be taken by wrapping the blood-pressure cuff 10 about the appendage 14, the protective cover is placed adjacent the appendage as is depicted in FIG. 1 and the bottom band 24 is wrapped about the appendage as is depicted in FIG. 3. The ends 27a and 27b of the bottom band 24 are attached together by means of the attachment device 26 so that the band is held in this wrapped configuration. The blood cuff 10 is then placed adjacent to, and centered on, the bottom band 24, as is depicted in FIG. 3, and wrapped thereabout as is depicted in FIG. 4. The blood-pressure cuff 10 is held in this wrapped configuration by its attaching devices 46 an 48 which are on surfaces of the blood-pressure cuff 10. It should be noted that in this configuration side edges of the blood pressure cuff are substantially inwardly spaced from side edges of the bottom band. The next step in the procedure is to pivot the top band 30, as shown by arrow 50 in FIG. 4, at the intermediate portion 38 so that the plastic, liquid-impervious, interior, layer 20 of the top band 30 faces the wrapped blood-pressure cuff 10 and the softer, absorbent, exterior, layer 18 faces away from the blood-pressure cuff 10. In this configuration, as can be seen in FIG. 5, the space 40 left between ends 42 and 44 of the intermediate portion 38 allows sphygmomanometer tubes 52 and 54 to communicate with their respective pump 56 and gauge 58. The top band 30 is held in this configuration by the attachment device 32 which interconnects ends of the top band 30. As can be seen in FIG. 5, the top band 30 forms a band about the appendage and the blood pressure cuff which is substantially wider than the width of the blood-pressure cuff, with side edges thereof extending beyond side edges of the blood pressure cuff. The blood-pressure cuff 10 is then inflated via the pump tube 52, and after a blood pressure reading is taken, it is deflated in a similar manner. The top band 30 is detached and rotated away from the blood-pressure cuff 10 at the intermediate portion 38, the blood pressure cuff 10 is detached and removed, and the bottom band 24 is detached and removed. The protective cover 16 is then discarded and a new one is used with the next reading taken with the same blood pressure cuff.
It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the protective cover 16 of this invention, being mainly a flat flexible sheet, is extremely inexpensive and uncomplicated to construct. Further, since the protective cover 16 is constructed as a two-ply sheet, it can include a soft absorbent layer for contacting a patient's appendage and facing outwardly, to be touched by outsiders. This soft, absorbent layer also tends to absorb and contain superfluous fluids which could spread and thereby contaminate the blood-pressure cuff 10, and/or personnel. This two-ply construction also allows the interior layer 20 to be impervious to liquids so that liquids cannot communicate between a patient and the blood-pressure cuff 10.
Yet another benefit of this invention comes from the fact that the bottom and top bands 24 and 30 are wider than the blood-pressure cuff 10 by a substantially great margin so that security is provided to patients and surgical personnel that the blood-pressure cuff is adequately covered and therefore will not receive or transmit contamination.
Still another benefit of this invention is that its shape, which creates the space 40, directs tubes passing through the space 40 away from the body of a patient and thereby keeps the tubes from becoming contaminated by body wounds. This also prevents a body wound from being contaminated by the tubes.
Because of the unusual shape of the protective cover 16, surgical personnel can quickly apply the bottom portion to an appendage, can quickly apply a blood-pressure cuff to the bottom portion, and can quickly fold the top portion over the blood-pressure cuff with very little difficulty. In this regard, it is not necessary to carefully thread the blood-pressure cuff 10 into a sleeve or the like. However, this unusual shape is not difficult to construct, being basically stamped out of off-the-shelf sheet material, so that a protective cover of this invention can be inexpensively and easily constructed.
Also, the soft, absorbent exterior layer 18 of the protective cover, being against the patient's skin, makes it relatively comfortable for a patient. Because the protective cover 16 is extremely thin, it does not significantly affect accuracy of a sphygmomanometer reading taken as described herein.
By making the length of the bottom band 24 less than the length of the top band 30, material and bulk are saved. In this regard, protective covers 16 of this invention are relatively easy to transport, store, maintain, and distribute.
It should be understood that the protective covers 16 of this invention are disposable. If a blood-pressure cuff is not removed from an arm, the protective cover of this invention may be used for several readings. Usually, however, it will be disposed of after each use. Although after a blood pressure measurement has been made a protective cover used therewith is usually thrown away, the blood-pressure cuff 10 which was used therewith need not be thrown away or even carefully cleaned because it was protected from contamination by the protective cover 16 during the measurement and because, even if it became contaminated, again, a new protective cover 16 will prevent it from spreading this contamination.
Adhesives for the attachment devices 26 and 32 are relatively inexpensive and easy to use.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In this regard, for example, the flexible sheet material of which the protective cover is made could be a single-ply, impervious or non-impervious, inexpensive material. Also, the intermediate portion 38 need not have any width W1 whatsoever, although by having a width W1 the protective cover introduces less restriction on a pressure gage bladder and thereby leads to greater accuracy. Also, this member need have very little length Li, although by having some length, as depicted herein, it aids in properly positioning the bottom and top bands relative to one another and in creating a space 40 for controlling attitudes of pressure gage tubes.

IFAC's Vision for the Future of Professional Regulation
Good evening, ladies and gentleman.
I'm very happy to be here with you all this evening. I am sure you will join me in thanking our hosts, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), for the wonderful dinner this evening. I would like also to thank Allen Blewitt, ACCA's Chief Executive, for the invitation to speak with you this evening.
As indicated in its "European Manifesto," the ACCA shares IFAC's focus on education and training, financial reporting, auditing, small business issues and corporate governance. The manifesto makes an important point that I would like to reiterate: "Forming partnerships is key to shaping the EU's future agenda." In addressing so central an issue as regulation of the profession, I believe that it is vital for IFAC, its 155 member bodies worldwide, and regional organizations like FEE, to work in partnership to shape the agenda. As in so many other matters, collaboration in relation to regulation is essential.

You've got that little hammer, Judge, and the old bag is within arm's reach — DO IT!
I've been wondering:
Why don't they use the original lettering in the dialogue balloons, instead of this computer-generated stuff? Seems to me that doing it this way is like spitting on the grave of whoever did the original lettering.
these boots are made for walking.
Probably was afraid of damaging her pumps.
Shoes as in Doc Martens, High Heels.. .etc?

Amazing is a significant understatement but that is probably a good idea (watching from the beginning). I don't think it is on Netflix or iTunes but you can buy the seasons.

So, Big Bang Theory is cleared the best show on television these days. Right? Wrong? Discuss!

YES! I hadn't heard that yet but I couldn't be more excited. I don't buy seasons of TV shows but I might make an exception for this show. How was Firefly btw?
AWESOME. I'm pretty hooked. It's like a space western. I'm thru 4 of the 14 episodes. Watching ti made me want to start watching BSG again and play Mass Effect!
It has stood up to the test of time pretty well also, which is saying a lot. Glad you are enjoying it. :)
Nathan Fillion is a BA. Really starting to like his character. The 1st episode was kinda dull till the end, but since then it's been good
